This ROM has been available linked to the Wiki here for a while already. However, this is the official download site for the European HTC P3600, I entered in my IMEI number and downloaded it just for the fun of it.

This is the latest one dated 03.04.07. or there abouts.
This link also gives you free TomTom 6 with one free city map but you can key**n the other maps.

Arent they they the same? your link and the link inside that thread? I dont get it.
BTW it says taster on the site, I assumed its tester or something. A test app perhaps. anyway the link you gave and the link inside are identical.

Fair enough. This link may have been posted before. I was told that there was the new update relesed on 03.04.07 and it was more to alert people of that fact. The link will obviously point to the same place because any new ROM update will be posted there. So if you alrady new this than great and if you did not know about this then even better. I was just trying to help.

Taster??? Do you mean for TomTom? Taster probably means that they will give you a small map to get you interested in TomTom, then you'll have to buy more maps.

Hi all
Does anyone know any other location to download tomtom. I tried to download from this euro site, but it wont let me. It says my s/n is invalid. I'm guessing it's because I did not purchase the phone in Europe (I'm from Australia).
Thanks
Semir

My ROM is the latest???
OS 5.1.461 (build 15671.3.3.0)
ROM version 1.23.800.2 dated 02/08/07
Radio 1.38.00.11
Protocol 32.71.7020.12H
Any point updating to latest HTC ROM? bug fixes? better GPS accuracy?
Thanks,

I have not tested this TomTom yet but from what I understud you get fully functional software with one free city map. So if you use key gen for the other maps you should have official version of TomTom for trinity.
BUT I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS YET BECAUSE I AM WAITING FOR MY SD CARD TO ARRIVE!

This is what it is saying on the website:
New features and improvements are available with this operating software update.
GPS receiver capability enabled.
Browser improvements (mobile CSS, WAP, Iframe, etc.).
Bluetooth improvements.
New data network icons to differentiate between GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA connections.
Streaming player added.
and that is what I know about it.

Just updated and...
Hi,
Just updated my HTC3600 to ROM 1.23.405.2 and installed the TOMTOM 6 software but I am getting no GPS signal and I dont see anywhere that I can set this up (nothing in settings)

You should have GPS settings under preferances. If you go in there and configure under "other NEMA" receiver. On mine it is on com9. It takes a couple of minutes to get "cold" start nut if little yelow and black circle in the top right corner is rotating it has found your GPS receiver. All you have to do now is go outside ar go very near to the window and wait for the "fix".

i think he has the same problem as me. latest belgian rom installed. tomtom 6.030 installed but that is a red herring.
the problem is that the GPS settings in system has disappeared! it was there a few days ago and now its just missing!
i mean start > system tab > GPS (that GPS config software has gone missing!!!)
SOLUTION:
Enable GPS Icon in Setting Tab
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
1. Delete the DWORD marked Hide (if present)
2. Delete the DWORD marked Redirect (if present)
3. Add a DWORD called Group and give it a value of 2
4. Soft reset the device.
Now check in connections...

Maybe because there is no official HTC update for your geographic area...
So far, only DOPOD's clients from Australia New-Zeland, and South-East Asia have got an official update to go further than 1.23.XX series.
But to get back to the point, GPS should already be activated on your ROM.
Further upgrade issue, it's more about, having WM6 or not having it...

QuickGPS CAB File?

Hi there,
got a prob with QuickGPS and TomTom.
First TomTom says "no gps device" (or something like that - I use the german one). Tried everything, without success.
Then I tried to update QuickGPS. Download starts, but "crashes" before reaching 100%. Tried a lot, even via ActiveSync etc etc.
So I tried some QuickGPS Cab File from somewhere on the web. Installed it, tried to start it, without success, as it is not signatured digitally.
So deinstallation of this version, and now even the old one is lost.
My question:
1. Can anyone supply me with the official QuickGPS CAB of the latest official ROM (2.32...)
2. Can anyone supply me with the certain reg-info?
Thx in advance! About to face a hard reset - but not willing to...

I would advice you just to redo the last firmware.
You will be getting your Quickgps back.
There might be someone on here with a better idea, but most likelly you will be ending up with hard resetting anyway.

Doing it right now. Somehow this problem seems to be a pretty common one, but noone in all those forums ever placed a working solution. Bad luck, as I have had a lot of tools setup pretty well... But hey, thats windows!

What version of TomTom do you have? If tomtom says no device then you have to check your port(4) and baud(4800) settings and make sure you use the internal gps.

I had the same problem but
Mine is a HTC clone... I had the same problmes .
Quick GPS does not work at all at the clone, since they use another gps
( Hardware). But i got tom tom running using in the configuration the Bluetooth device on com port 3 , with 9600 .
There was a alternative Software for quick GPS, but, i am sorry, i forgot the name. Google may help.

TomTom for HD2

Hi,
Can someone please paste a definitive cab with TomTom for the HD2?
I believe this should not upset anyone - after all TomTom won't run without the separate maps which have to be purchased etc.
Collating information from the other threads here it would seem as though the latest version of TomTom would be the best one after all of the .dll's contained within are stripped out (correct?).
Look forward to <whoever> stepping up to the plate!

I would also be interested in this. I do think tom tom might object though.

I'm sure you might be right.. however (and without wanting to take this thread off-topic).. I have a copy of TomTom Navigator sitting in my hallway - still shrink wrapped despite having paid £60-ish for it.. the reason being that I knew when I purchased it that it wouldn't install on my (then) Diamond, however I did manage to find a working cab on here and maps etc. A stupid situation - TomTom should supply working installation media for popular handsets - fact of the matter is though then don't. So in this situation I did what I thought was 'right'. If TomTom want to argue this with me then so be it.. just my opinion btw!

I could post a .cab, but first I need confirmation that this is allowed.
TomTom works great on my HD2.

I'd like this too!
Can always email me if you want.... [email protected]

You can use any VGA version - is working just fine.
There's many links on this forum - just use search

Same prob here, I have the maps but the cab file i used couldnt find the maps which were located on the sd-card whilst the program was installed to the device. Also, the voiced didn't work.

You need to install the voices seperate to voices dir, and it wont find the maps unless its linked to your device, ahhem....
I have TomTom and Copilot, and i have to say Copilot kicks TomToms Ass.

And how is this linking done?

Does the version you have work with TomTom Home?
If not, how can I get my existing maps to work with it?
I tried a cab discussed in another thread and manually copied over my maps but when I ran TomTom it prompts for activation which needs to be done via TomTom Home as they don't issue a product id to use with ttcode.com anymore.
I'm hoping it won't be long till TomTom officially supports the HD2 but would appreciate knowing how/what you have working.

My version works fine with the HD2 and even updates.

This may help you out, have a read.

Hi all,
i've tomtom v7.915(9196) and french map v675.1409
All works nice on my HD2.
I just dont have landscape mode, but i know there is a mod to put the option in the tomtom soft.
I'll search for that.
I've got the cab, but you need to find a voice on internet.

If you find the rotate option or cab let me know

Latest maps are up to version 8.40

You can use TT7 7.916.9189 Vga. Unable to attach
And after you installed the the cab then you need to rename or delete the following files from windows folder
BtcoreIf.dll
BtSDK30CE.dll
This will resolve the "Bluetooth radio cannot be swithced on" problem
Good luck

Noobie Jargon

Hi everyone, I'm new to pretty much all of this. Iv had my HTC HD2 since Xmas eve and it's my 1st smartphone so I'm struggling a bit with all the jargon but i am determined to learn. I have a few questions and work odd shifts so don't get the time to search for all my answers so I'm hoping if i ask all in one thread someone will be kind enough to provide me with all the answers in one place.
1st of all, to help you out in giving me some answers this is the current software info of my phone and CABs iv already installed (thank's very much to you guys)

Now, theres a lot of jargon i dont yet understand so if someone could tell me what the following mean?
Manila
ROM
Radio
Cooked
Bricked
Flash
SSPL
HSPL
NBH
SPL
RRU
(I think thats all the terminology i dont understand ATM)
I have seen new versions of Manila and Sense posted on here, can anyone tell me the Pro's/Con's to installing these before i go ahead? Like what are they updating/fixing, and is it worth it? I want my phone to be its best.
Right, there the complicated questions (for me) but as i work odd shifts it will be easier for me to ask other advice in this thread aswel.
Is there any way to disable the hard "end call" key when in call as when I'm using my BT headset i hang up on people in my pocket. (I do have a CAB installed that disables it whilst ringing so i dont hang up getting it out of my pocket but it releases the key again as soon as its been answered)
Is there a way to stop WIFI disconnecting when the phone is in standby (I have the BsB Tweaks but the option doesnt seem to stay on)
Is there a way of setting the Mobile Web connection to automatically turn off when its not in use and back on again when needed (I.E if I'm browsing and minimize the app to put the phone in my pocket)
I see people favor the Igo8 and TomTom 7 (i think) Satnav apps but cant seem to find where to get either from, and help?
I can update my Facebook status at the bottom of my contact card in "all people" but it seems a bit of a silly place to put the feature, is there any way of making it a bit quicker to access? (I like the way it says "from my HTC" on the updated) or does anyone know of a decent facebook app? The best iv found so far is FIM but it crashes every time i update my status. Id like to be able to chat and Tag people in photo's (and tag in status' if at all possible)
Sorry for the lengthy questions and any help is GREATLY appreciated and if i think of anything else i need to know ill ask it in this thread.
Keep up the hard work guys and i hope to be as knowledgeable as you in a few months

Well for a new user, you certainly seem to have got your head around some of the modifications possible!
Terminology:
Manila: The HTC interface with the big digital clock and tabs. The HD2 comes with Manila 2.5 (= HTC Sense)
ROM: Read Only Memory, but for our purposes usually means the operating system itself, which can be written to the ROM of the device. There are standard ROMs like the HTC 1.48 update and cooked ROMs like those you see in the forums.
Radio: Usually refers to the part of the OS controlling radio functions, which are the phone signal receiver, Bluetooth and WiFi. This also contains the GPS drivers.
Cooked: A ROM that has been modified by a ROM 'chef' to make it either more up to date, more functional, or to give more available memory. Some better than others, and all technically void your warranty.
Bricked: A 'cooked' ROM needs to have the boot sectors of the device modified to allow the ROM to be installed. If this hasn't been done, the the device can get stuck in the middle of the update, hence the term 'bricked': it becomes basically an unusable brick. There can be ways out of it, but sometimes it's terminal.
Flash: The process of updating the physical ROM with a new ROM OS image
SSPL/HSPL/SPL: The SPL is like the BIOS of a PC. Stock SPLs don't allow updates other than from the manufacturer or the phone operator. SSPL (SoftSPL) is a temporary software fix that allows the ROM to be updated and HSPL (HardSPL) is a permanent fix that protects from bad ROM flashes.
RRU/NBH: RUU stands for ROM Update Utility and it is the PC executed process to update a ROM. It has a few steps such as checking versions, battery status then putting the device into a mode to allow the ROM update (Bootloader mode) then doing the actual update. The NBH file is the actual ROM file itself that overwrites the ROM. It is possible to copy the NBH file to a storage card and rename it, then do the update without connecting to a PC.

Hard end call button: I don't know, but I suspect not!
WiFi always on: There is a file or registry modification to do this, but why would you want to? The hit on the battery with WiFi on is enormous so keeping it on when in standby would soon see the battery expire. Unless you don't have a mobile data plan there's not a lot of point in keeping WiFi on.
Mobile Data on/off: There is a program called Modaco NoData that allows you to manually turn the data connection on or off. As above though, why would you want to? These devices are sold and used as 'connected' devices and mobile data is used for a lot of background updating like weather updates, MyPhone sync etc. An open but quiescent data connection has almost no impact on battery life, and only uses data when programs are set to do so.
SatNav: TomTom don't officially support the HD2, but there are many forum topics about how to get it workng as long as you buy the correct version. iGO8 is a bit different- it is not formally available in UK and even where is it available it has to be run from the SD card it is supplied on. Also, it is pretty expensive. If you have a legitimate copy, there are ways to make it work from a different SD card.
Facebook: No idea- I don't use it!

Thank you Neil, yea iv got my head round some of it, luckily im not a technophobe im just in new territory
I only want to keep the wifi on because i stream radio when at home when its on charge and the streams just stop when the device sleeps but thanks for the battery tip, ill remember to disable wifi when i know im not in range of any.
Mobile web, i do have an "unlimited data plan" but subject to fair usage policy so got me panicking a lil bit when i see its been connected for hours but knowing that it doesnt actualy use any data unless needed is good to know.
Thanks for he jargon busting as well, Iv seen that there are higher versions of Mania/Sense on here and im aware that they may void warranty but am i right in thinking a hard reset put's it back to factory original? If so, im happy to upgrade the version but what new features would i be getting? Id quite like the whole today and manila tabs to go landscape.
Satnav, ill probably stick with CoPilot as the 5 day demo it came with functioned better than my dedicated Sony satnav lol
Once again, thank you very much

If you want to maintain the WiFi when the device is on charge, the best way is to go into the Power settings, and set the parameters for 'External Power' to always stay on.
Even a USB charger is capable of maintaining a charge with the device turned on.
Regarding the Manila updates etc- you actually have to install a newer ROM to get these new features. I have to say that pretty much all the current 'cooked' ROMs have issues of one sort or another. Once the new ROM is installed, a hard reset only puts it back to how it was after that ROM was installed. You cna however always revery to a stock ROM if you need to.

[Q] How can i fix my GPS problem? (HTC HD2 Android)

Hello guys,
since i have Android on my phone (first i had SD solutions, now i got the NAND solution),
i can't access my GPS (phone finds no satelite).
I was wondering why this happens to my phone, since others have no problem.
But ok, i searched a bit in this forum and i found that the solution might be to edit the GPS settings to port com4 and 256000 rate.
I was also looking how i can change this, but i found nothing.
Can you help me?
Information about my phone:
HTC HD2 (Ger)
Radio 2.15.50.14
Android 2.3.1 (NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.0 NAND)
Maybe you know a better solution than changing GPS settings,
but thats what i want to try now, if i knew where i have to do this.
Thank you.

There is a whole thread for your case, really!
Go and read the last pages, someone found a fix that is working for Gingerbread devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900631
This is all i can do for you.

I Know this fix and it's already done, but no changes.
As I said, it was on ANY Android ROM (not only the Gingerbread)

My GPS is working, really, not just getting a fix from A-GPS. You can see what i am using in my sig.
My nav program is working - navigating, though i must say the program itself is much worse than in what i used in WinMo.
So, what is the problem?
I know at least 2 more builds with a working GPS that i've tested myself.

I just know that i had to edit my com Port and my baudrate at windows mobile also.
Maybe i have a strange version, i dont know. But i know the normal win mo hadnt a working gps for me too, so i had to edit it on my own.
Thats what i wanna do now on Android, but i can't find the settings.

I really doubt this will help, but why don't you check the settings of your nav program for this edit.
I don't know where to edit the system in android for these settings, sorry.
There is a fix with editing gps.conf file and it actualy worked for me, it downloads A-GPS data
why don't you try this and then move to the harder part?
1. Use file explorer capable of editing system files to edit the file /system/etc/gps.conf (I use Root Explorer but unfortunately this is paid software; not tried with free version of Astro or ES, and it is possible that they can work too.)
2. Make sure that the bit after "NTP_SERVER=" goes with your location. I believe that as provided, it's "north-america.pool.ntp.org". If you live outside North America, as I do, edit to the appropriate server--as listed at the NTP POOL PROJECT (google for that).
and get GPS Status to reset the GPS itself, this might help!?

Thank you,
but there are no changes.
GPS Status shows 0 for both and another Tool (GPS Fix) trys to locate me, but also can't do it.

I got same trouble.
May be it deal with hd2 version - I got tmobile tmous.
I try many roms (desire hd port, 2.3 and 2.2 other ver.) - same trouble, gps status program can not see satelites.

I really doubt this will help, but why don't you check the settings of your nav program for this edit.
I don't know where to edit the system in android for these settings, sorry.
There is a fix with editing gps.conf file and it actualy worked for me, it downloads A-GPS data
why don't you try this and then move to the harder part?
1. Use file explorer capable of editing system files to edit the file /system/etc/gps.conf (I use Root Explorer but unfortunately this is paid software; not tried with free version of Astro or ES, and it is possible that they can work too.)
2. Make sure that the bit after "NTP_SERVER=" goes with your location. I believe that as provided, it's "north-america.pool.ntp.org". If you live outside North America, as I do, edit to the appropriate server--as listed at the NTP POOL PROJECT (google for that).
and get GPS Status to reset the GPS itself, this might help!?

Hi IMS1407
what a hazzle that was.
I have an HTC HD2 / Leo that i purchased a year ago. I started playing with Android about a month ago and have successfully installed several nand from Froyo and Gingerbread. With all of them i had the GPS problem not being able to see any satelites. I purchased GPS Doctor and tried some other so called GPS Fixes, but NONE of them worked. I finally came accross your post and tried the editing of the gps.conf file. I got me Root Explorer and edited the gps.conf file by simply adding below the line
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.asia.pool.ntp.org
I saved the file and God and Behold I had a Fix within seconds verified by GPS Aids and GPS Status APP.
again thanks alot .....

It is so simple, it works, on HD2 with MIUI 2.3.5!

need 3 things for gps to work super. 1. gps status app from market to reset and download gps data, 2. need gps.cnfg file for your region v1.2 and 3. need gps libs
config file and libs can be found here in forum. there are 2 separAte threads

try NDT miui 24.2 works great for me

try to update to newer gps libraries, might work.

I also have a gps problem with my hd2 t-mobile but it doesn't have anything to do with gingerbread. Specifically, if the phone get a little warm, gps stops responding. I don't get any errors like not finding the gps but no satellites. Problem exists in NexusHD 4.0.4 which I'm running from native sd and in windows mobile. if I reboot the phone and go straight to wm and run a gps test no satellites. If I shut down the phone and turn it on immediately no satellites. If I shutdown and let it cool down or force it to cool down (lay in on an Icepack) It works (until it warms up again) than nothing. If I cool it down without restarting (lay it on the icepack) it doesn't come back. I already suspect the worst but still asking. In any case I've got a globalsat external bluetooth gps which is far more accurate than the internal gps I was just hoping on avoiding using it in inconvinient situations. I currently have two hd2's one of which is a t-mobile and I don't think I'm going to go in the HTC direction again. Samsung seems to be looking good.
