Hi im in canada and i bought this bran new phone T-Mobile MDA PRO
i have couple of questions !!
I bought this phone from one of the dealers on ebay for 750 Canadian DOllars ( Is this price correct for a brand new phone ? )
where do i register my product and the IMEI number which website of Tmobile do i register my product for updates and support ?
My rom version is
ROm version : 1.12.38.wwe
rom date : 08/24/05
Radio version : 1.03.00
Protocol version : 42.36 p8
extrom version : 1.12.120 wwe
since im new to this phone i have no clue if my product needs update and if i need to update can u guys provide me a link with the latest updated rom ?
i also in the post that one of the user wrote that if i update to the latest rom i dont get the warranty or support from Tmobile ?
Hi there,
this is my first time writting for this Forum, even if present for long.
Basically I have bought a 3 months used Trinity (P3600) in Portugal with GPS enabled since it was the latest devices to be sold.
According to the guy that sold me this, the pda was blocked because sold by Operator. The PDA is in PT language.
Basically when looking into the ROM I got the conclusion that the one installed is the same as the available from htc page (by IMEI):
RUU_Trinity_HTC_PTG_1.23.410.2_103_6275_1.38.00.11_108_Ship.zip (downloadable file from HTC).
My device:
ROM version: 1.23.410.2
ROM date: 03/13/07
Radio version: 1.38.00.11
Protocol version: 32.71.7020.12H
ExtROM: 1.23.410.103
To me it looks like the same. Therefore I didn't even tried to upload it to PDA.
Then another test I've done, was to try another SIM card then the one I had tried before, and I did get astonished by the fact that the pda was unblocked to any kind of operators.
I started to think that the pda was "touched" and that could mean Warranty off.
I cannot garantee that because the pda contains the rom which HTC makes downloadable through IMEI, meaning maybe the pda went out factory already unblocked. Is it possible?
Since my desire is to check warranty status, maybe you could help me checking if this system was even upgraded, or if CID (which I don't know what means but presume...) was touched or not. Because basically if the PDA was CID unlocked I have already lost warranty and I can upload an English ROM which is one of my interests. If not and by somehow the pda is unblocked to operators but everything is legal, then I'll keep PT ROM until warranty is age limited.
Hope you could help with this as I could still send back to the seller if I'm not satisfied with something. And once more, one of my needs is to have English ROM. And warranty if still possible
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
Enable GPS on HTC Touch HD
Yesterday I purchased the HTC HD, what a lovely elegant device to deal with, now – for the 3rd. time – I'm facing the ever lasted GPS problem in Egypt as the authorities forbid the use of mobiles with GPS enabled, so companies like Nokia and HTC introduces their GPS mobiles with the GPS Comm. Port disabled.
Any ways, with the help of the Internet and good fellows I was able to solve this problem twice before, the first time was HTC Tytn II one year ago before I sold it and the second time was my beloved N96 two months ago and also the GPS was activated using a different methodology other than the Tytn II.
Is there any way to enable this Comm. Port and start using the GPS?
N.B.
QuickGPS software is not installed, I tried to update the device ROM through HTC site but when I entered my device serial No. I got a message telling me that this software is not downloadable for this device. I faced this situation once before with the N96 and I solve it through a pleasant process, when Nokia locks the mobile for a specific carrier or disable a specific feature, it does so through the firmware. And to prevent people from just updating their phone's firmware and bypass the lock, Nokia assigns "Product Codes" to each "version" of the phone. So in our case, the N96 phone that's sold in Egypt is the same as the N96 that's sold in let's say UAE except for the product code. This way, Nokia PC suite and firmware updater knows which flavor of the phone it's handling and can apply the appropriate firmware update.
The method I followed tricks the phone into thinking that it's from another region, thus enabling the firmware updater to apply a firmware with unlocked GPS.
My phone data are as follows:
ROM version: 1.14.485.1 (24011)WWE
ROM date: 17/11/2008
Radio version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol version: 52.49a.25.26U

As long as you flash HardSPL first, you can flash any Raphael ROM to the Fuze.

Hello,
I have an SFR brand (French) but unlocked HTC 7 Trophy.
I successfully applied 1st update on monday night.
Discovering I still had to wait for Nodo I used Chevronwp7.updater.
It seemed to work properly for about 30 min.
It suddenly stopped and rebooted the device.
Phone, body of text message and Internet Explorer cant be accessed any more!
They hang and seem to abort before bringing you back to the menu.
I made a hard reset, lost everything but kept the problem.
Customization aborts after language selection.
Zune considers the phone not to be ready.
Chevronwp7.updater aborts and the device is still in Nodo version!
No Spark rom is accepted and Schubert ones abort with communication error 262.
I tried from Win XP SP3 and from Win 7 x86.
Any idea? I seem not te be the only one who gets this pb. Please help!

Have you tried to flash this ROM:
5. Vodafone_FR (SFR) operator, CV 163 with CID VODAP203:
5.1 BR: RUU_Spark_Vodafone_FR_1.08.163.01_Radio_5.50.09.15 _22.23.50.09U_by_ansar

Same thing happened to mine, read Walshie's blog @ http://blog.walshie.me/
You need to select the proper language for your device or it WILL NOT work correctly.
Edit: I re-flashed base rom prior to running updater again.

Oops, many thanks for your advice, I actually didn't see that one!
It just finished flashing the phone and its configuration is completed.
Issue is fixed! Thank you very much! Too bad!
Thanks for your reply, as I followed Walshie's how to I knew the risk.
English language configured, I actually chose 0 for US English.
I would like to make another try by choosing 2 for French.
I let you know asap.
Hello,
Just to tell you that device properly reseted and 1st update, 7.0.7008.0, succesfully applied, choosing 2 for French by running ChevronWP7.Updater didn't reproduce the issue!
I'm still applying last HTC update but everything should be ok now. Thanks for your help!
Hello,
I finally reproduced the issue simply by switching display language from French to English after applying Nodo!
This means: French SFR Rom + English display + Nodo = no more phone application, no more text message body access and no more IE! :/
I can't tell if the pb is linked to that rom, to its language or to HTC Trophy but others could be concerned!?
thanks for your help.
Hi,
Since the apparently right thread is being redesigned I thought of post my own thread.
I have an original unbranded Trophy purchased in The Netherlands.
Used to be Jailbroke but I never managed to make the registry fix, so after the Nodo update it's jailed again.
I'd really want to jailbreak it again but apparently the only way to accomplish it is to flash it back to a pre-Nodo unbranded rom and assure that is registry fixed and jailbroke before going through the update.
I went through the explanations of master Ansar but I'm still in doubt as of what ROM is the one I should be using and where to get it.
These are the specs coming from system information app:
Model: HTC 7 Trophy T8686
Screen resolution: 480 x 800
Display language: English (United States)
Region format: English (United Kingdom)
OS version: 7.0.7390
.NET CLR version: 3.7.10302.0
Firmware version: 2250.09.12000.401
Hardware version: 0003
This is my work phone so I cannot afford mistakes. ¿is it wise to pursue this or I better wait for a real nodo Jailbreak fix?
I'd really appreciate your guidance.
I just answered this one in another post but I realized that this one has a more descriptive title hence easier to find.
Here's the post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14471405&postcount=2
But I think, this only worked for you, because you already had an unbranded phone before flashing this ROM. People with branded phones will need another ROM.
I dont know if you still have that question but according to the data you provide the rom you want is
RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.10.401.04_Radio_5.52.09.16_ 22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar from this post.
After flash unlock you phone and use Advance Config Tool to keep it from relocking ..
Its easy there ..it just a tick in the settings
