Hello i need info or at least somebody tell me where to get info on how to flash the HTC XV6900 to Metro Pcs fro Sprint. I searched but could not find a definitely answer or a write up on how to do this.I just bough one from a guy on craigslist after reading it can be flashed and since my phone is dying anyway seem like the perfect moment.
I know i can pay someone else to do this but after my wife and 2 girls saw mine and watched a video on you tube of a flashed Touch they all want one so paying $60+ to get it flash plus the cost of each phone is not possible.Also there are people selling the software for flashing but i don't want to pay for something that may not work or maybe can't do myself after all.
Also want to note that i'm using linux on my laptop but have windows on my wife desktop.

Guys, read this link HERE it will help you out with what to read up on, what files are needed and where to get them and a step by step on what you will see when flashing
This is for a Custom WinMO 6.5 ROM from NFSFAN though so if you need something else you can still use it just some of the examples may not relate but the idea is still the same
As for the Linux user - do this via your wifes desktop (I love Linux just have Windows all over my house for work as well)

People keep posting links to the HTC Elf/Elfin could someone use the steps to SIM and CID unlock their HTC Vogue using the steps for the Elf/Elfin without it bricking?
As of right now, there aren't any steps(that I'm aware of) for flashing/ CID unlocking the HTC Touch.
The best instructions I found were here. Just scroll down to where it gives instuctions for the Touch. There are even instuctions for flashing ROM via memory card(which I can tell you do work).
Basically you'll need the correct coke unlocker and the new ROM. First you flash the cokeman unlocker that matches your situation and then when that's finished flash the ROM. I recommend flashing the new ROM at least twice before you start using it. I flashed the new NFSFAN's v8 Windows 6.5 ROM three times and it's working way smoother than last time when I was running v7....which I only flashed once. The best advice I can give you is to have patience.
Hi guys, hopeful someone can help me...
I have the weird HTC Sense not loading problem at the moment and was about to Hard reset when i thought i may as well update my rom instead!!
I checked to see if my device was locked to Vodafone earlier by borrowing a friends Orange Sim and it work fine, connected to orange and allowed me to make a call....
So i assumed i could just download the latest Rom from HTC website and install... but i enter my S/N and it tells me that the update isnt suitable for my device!!
Anybody have any ideas?? If i get hold of this Rom and install it will it mess my phone up or is the website being dumb?? Or should i grab one of the custom Roms??

Are you on VF UK? If so you need to get the ROM from them here:
http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=424&e=0
OR you can go down the cooked ROM route, following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Yes i am on UK VF....
Thanks a lot for the link, downloading it now.. I thought i could get any update as it would let the Orange Sim work. Does that not mean its unlocked??
Thanks again for the quick response!!
Funk
It's SIM unlocked but HTC/VF have vendor locked it - basically you have to wait for VF to release the ROM to get it (unless you go down the HSPL route)...In was lucky enough to get my HD2 from Dial-A-Phone completely generic so I can get all updates from HTC direct
Ah ok, that clears that up for me thanks...
Cant see why Manufacturers bother if the sim is unlocked?? but at least they have released the latest.

Just upgraded to Artemis rom (thanks to sternas) and sense works again and phone better than ever with all the included tweeks.
Hello everyone,
I am writing to find out if anyone out there can tell me if I should install the official updates for my Rogers branded Magic and if so should i install them in order? You see I have an unlocked Rogers branded Magic that I used for a while before getting my Tilt 2 however I am looking at using the Magic again now that I've learned about PDAnet for tethering. Anyways, since I hadn't looked into Android since getting the Tilt 2 I thought I'd see if there had been any updates and I found on HTC's downloads a couple of updates for the Rogers Magic and rather like the idea of Sense and multitouch but want to know if these updates will relock my phone forcing me to learn how to unlock it again? (I originally bought it unlocked and have to have it unlocked because I am on AT&T). I've also considered rooting and flashing a newer ROM however without the Wiki being up I'm kind of scared that I don't understand enough about it to do it correctly. Anyways, if any of you could please let me know if the updates would break my ability to use my phone on AT&T could you please let me know about this and any other drawbacks to applying the upgrades? Thanks and I hope that you all have a nice night.
I unfortunately can't answer your question about the updates, however, if you do decide to root your phone I put together a guide that's based on how I did it and the resources I used, just all pulled into one post. Check it out if you'd like: here.
Hello Everyone,
This is my first Driod device. I used to use a BB but my friend gave me an HTC Rogers magic and I figured I would give it a try. It does NOT have the 911 patch installed. I may by the Samsung Captive S when it comes out to Rogers and I figured I would try Andriod with this phone first. I have a couple of questions:
- When i try installing the 911 patch my phone disconnects from HTC sync for some reason. HTC sync finds the phone prior to the patch install but when i try installing the patch it give me an error msg asking me to check my usb cable. Any thoughts why? I am running windows 7 64bit.
-How hard is it to root the HTC Magic? I am not that good with programming code or anything like that. I was told i should upgrade to 2.1 but i need to root it first.
-any other helpful links or tips will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry i just wanted to add that my friend told me i may need to sign the Rogers HTC magic wavier before i root my phone or they will cut off my data. Anyone know if this is true.
Thanks
easy root:

Give it a try :0)
Not sure about the waiver but I would definitely load a different ROM than what Rogers ships by default.
On my Rogers Magic I've just loaded the Froyo Redux 1.7 mod which is based on CyanogenMOD 6.0 RC3. Works like a champ!
I recommend that you spend some time reading these forums a bit before jumping in. your patience will be rewarded!
Many rogers magic users have been through this before so its likely any question you have has already been answered.
good luck!
***UPDATE*** Damn. I ran the update (filename is RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2_release_154437_signed.exe), and the update process began. It started off with "Erasing User Data"... then "Sending"... then quickly brought up a window that said:
ERROR [156]: IMAGE ERROR The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
This sounded like a good match for this device. I'm stuck now. Anyone have any ideas?
***old -UPDATE*** I found a Bell stock update... gonna try this out.. thanks for reading.
Hello all. Forgive me, I'm a Blackberry user and I just got an HTC Desire Z (it is locked to Bell in Canada - CDMA carrier?). I'm waiting for my unlock code to arrive (as I am on a different/GSM carrier) and I'm getting antsy to try it out.
I tried searching this forum tree using many different terms but all I've managed to find were custom ROMS and foreign official ones.
First thing I want to do is update it... I downloaded HTC Sync, which installed all the necessary drivers. (Except HTC Diag - found this online). So now I can connect it to my PC without any driver drama.
Then I went looking for an update. I found RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed.exe (but to be honest I wasn't sure if this is correct for my phone - I tried it anyway). It got so far as to reboot the phone to start the process but it then told me it wasn't the right update for my phone.
So that's where I am right now. I've been reading a lot about rooting, etc. but don't even want to go that far just yet. I just want to start off by getting a nice official software update/rom to get this thing up-to-date.
Currently, the version on this phone is 1.01.666.1 (sounds pretty old to me). I want to get rid of this blasted watermark (and I'm hoping a software update will take care of this).
Which ROM/software update is right for this phone? Any info / links would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm assuming from your initial post that you're not on Bell Canada and are wanting to use it on a different carrier? If that's the case, use gfree (see the wiki) to unlock your device (and fully root it, if you want).
