Ok, so I'm pretty new to this whole game. I picked up a surround for $20 the other day, and I wanted to see what I could do with it. It had mango on it, so i downgraded the SPL after following a few of the posts here to the Cingular 1.52. After that, I installed the 7.8 NWA Rom, which works really well. I'm loving it so far.
My problem is though is that I cannot get my APN settings to work. I am using a Straight Talk SIM, and I can set the apn fine, but I cannot for the life of me get data to work. It was working fine on Mango. Is this a problem with the 7.8 ROM, or is it because I flashed the Cingular SPL?
I would ask in the other thread, but I don't have enough posts.
Any help would be appreciated.
Fixed
NWA released a version 2 of his rom. I updated to this, and it's working now.

How reliable is this? What straight talk restrictions are still in place?

summiter seems to be up on it
All I can say is that Summiter's 2.17 rom (which you can easily find on the FTP) is WELL worth updating to. It is MUCH faster, includes more features, and is extremely easy to install and does not even require the phone to be unlocked. I've been using it for awhile now and there are no missing features that the old ROM had, and everything just seems to work a bit better. 8) Go for it.
Good morning Everyone,
I was looking into information on updating my Cell phone ROM as after some reading and searching I found out that this phone is GPS capable (Why they would sell it with the functionality disabled is beyond me.) On the Official HTC website I did find a new update that was released 08/06/2008 at the following link. CLICKY! . I am wounder if anyone else is having a problem downloading this file and installing it? I receive an error saying the file is corrupt and I should download the file again. I have tried downloading the file from two separate computers, tried all three mirror sites (US, Europe, Asia) and last but not least tried using three different web browsers. Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari for Windows.
I am curious if anyone knows of another mirror site for this newly released update that is working? Or of another way I can update to the same version. I am unfamiliar with the ROMs that are on this website (I could figure it out but am uneasy about installing something unofficial.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I also noticed that the file name "-HTC P4000 (Telus)-Telus_HTC_P4000_WM6_07252007.exe" Has an old date on it? I am hoping they just rebuilt a previous update, or they have not actually posted the new update and still have an old one which happens to not work. Just an observation I noticed.
PSS: I have sent in a technical help request through the online process of HTC asking for a link to a working .exe but I tend to find that out of the norm requests such as this do not turn out very well with corporations whose support team are really only knowledgeable in standard help desk things IE: I'm too stupid to turn on my phone can you help me?
Did you follow the instructions here?

I did a while back and it worked. If not, just switch to DCD's, it's awesome. Telus's 6.1 ROM doesn't enable your GPS.
Ya that is currently the ROM I am running, Maybe I am just mixed up. I looked at the HTC website for the TELUS rom and noticed the date for release was 08/06/2008 so I was under the assumption they had released an updated ROM that was a newer version then 2.13.661.2 which I am already running. One that would also patch the GPS (just a guess). However, I guess I will look into the DCD roms and see if I can fumble through the guides to get it loaded. Thanks anyways.
telus p4000 rom
I have a P4000 running on DCD 3.2.2 and Radio 3.42.2 gps enabled internet sharing enabled and many other stuff... this is just roocking the place.. Just forgot the official Rom and go for dcd you just have to follow all instructions be aware and youll anjoye all youre gona do with your phone
HTC P4000 rocks again!
Being half way through custom install (with all nightmares and mistakes ) I found this official update too. Confirm too: everything works as expected.
Took a while for GPS to pick up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, but the it worked like a charm!

2nd that. Upgraded from the old v2 and now to this one GPS and everything worked great with Google Maps.. I didn't bother stopping that customization thing like I've read in other post. Loaded that HTC home Plugin v2.1 on it and its fine.
Hey folks, here from the Herald forums for a friend of mine. What has happened is this, I went ahead and flashed his phone from the stock WinMo 6.1 to NSFAN's 6.5 version 13. Now before I did this he of course had data capability, but now for the life of me I cant get them working again. I applied the Sprint provisioning cab from the ROM thread, aswell as following the instructions per this thread here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-410357.html), and neither of them work. So my question is this, can either someone point me to a thread with the exact settings or instructions on how to get the data settings for Sprint that will work under WinMo 6.5. Thanks much!
Device-Sprint HTC Touch circa 2008
ROM-NSFAN's custom WM6.5 version 13
HardSPL'd or whatever it is you do to CDMA devices...yeah sorry im used to GSM stuff so I dunno what you all do. But I followed Cokeguy's guide to unlock the CID I believe so I guess thats as close to HardSPL as you get on this thing heh.
And of course application unlocked.
Try not using any provisioning CABs. Just flash the ROM and see if it works from there (works fine for me and I am using a Vogue on Sprint).
Well that was my first thought, and I both hard reset and re-flashed and I still got nothing. However, I went back to the stock Sprint ROM, and then re-flashed and everything is cherry now...I don't really understand why...but it is. Thanks for the reply anyways!
I found a working link for the T-mobile ROM update 2.13.531.1 for the TMOUS HD2 You have to enter your IMEI Number though.

Enjoy
lol, um... thanks!
I really appreciate it! I downloaded it and ran it anyway, knowing the possible issues. Much better now! Weird it screws up some hd2's but not others. Very weird. Much happier now. Just got my hd2 yesterday.
HI Everyone,
Im back, ive decide to ditch the iphone and give the HD2 another chance!
Im with O2 3G/sim
I bought what i thought was an unbranded/unlocked HD2 of ebay but surpirise surprise is was locked to t mobile in the UK! So my day has consisted of trying to get it unlocked which i just have and also changing wap/internet setting so the bloody thing will work.
Problems: -
1 - can i install an O2 ROM so the phone works perfectly with my current O2 sim or am i barking up the wrong tree? I want to get rid of all t mobile UK pre configured/installed settings.
2 - All internet stuff seems badly slow sort of dial up speed?!
3 - Copilot isnt pre installed, any ideas where or how i can pre install it to try it out?
Any help/advice/support i would be grateful for!

Look here, http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html .
Leo 1.43 'RUU_Le2_UK_1.43.206.4_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U _2.04.50.22_2_Ship_WORKING.exe' I assume is the one you want, that's the stock O2 ROM. However, if you look on the HTC website there is also the ROM upgrade from 1.43/1.48 to 1.72. But as you don't have the stock O2 ROM installed Don't install the HTC upgrades before you do so.
It should have all the default O2 bloatware, including the Copilot trial.
HI Kalavere,
Thank you for the rom update, i tried installing it but this messages just comes up any ideas?
Error(294) invalid vender ID
It wont let me proceed with the rom update?
SORTED!!!
Got is sorted thanks again!
Flashed the rom and installed the newest O2 1.72 software.
The CoPilot trial is here http://www.alk.com/htc/uk/. I don't know whether you can trial the program if the evaluation has already been used.

Brilliant stuff. It's just as easy to flash a custom ROM, so give it a go sometime. They are far far better than stock.

I've never had the nerve to try one. There are too many threads that start 'I just flashed xxx and now I can't boot my HD2...'

Well you took that risk flashing the stock ROM, lol. There's no difference.
I'd recommend NRG's EnergyROM take a look.
