Official rom update for rogers from HTC

ok seems theres an official update from HTC for our rogers phones anyone try it yet http://www.htc.com/ca/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=270&act=sd&cat=2

Ooooh, eeenteresting....
Code:
Why is updating the software on your device recommended?
The ROM software update posted below provides several key enhancements for your HTC Dream:
-Improves the overall device functionality and stability
-Enables correct SMS timestamp [B]<<<<<<<<<<!!!!![/B]
-Enables Chinese character display for POP3 HTML Emails
-Corrects E-mail client exchange Issues

yes can it be timestamp fix heaven? lol.. just wondering if this is going to work for rooted or non 32a magic.. or both

The update pages says "HTC Magic (Rogers)" but when I stick in my S/N it says: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. Bummer since my phone and box say HTC Rogers on them.

ditto :/
i just got the S/N from the box as I didnt want to remove the battery.

yeah i noticed it also.. comes up when you select Rogers Magic.. but if you noticed in the notes.. some of which also posted above.. it says enhance dream isssues... will try my s/n and let you know

you can get the files from the rogers support page.. i used this link to get there http://www.androidincanada.ca/news/update-rogers-htc-dreammagic-android-timestamp-problem/

I have the direct link here:
http://downloads.rogers.com/wireless/products/htc/magic/RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Be careful as this update will more than likely install a Perfect SPL on your device. You will need to re-root your device after installing this. Could be a painful process.
I'm going to wait for somebody who knows what they're doing to remove the important bits from this update.
Cheers!

my thoughts exactly.. the way they have been putting the perfect spl on devices that didnt have it.... I tried it ( im running Jacheroski 2.7.4r2) and it didnt even recognize my phone. I was reading on the HTC site that you need HTC sync software first... thought that was for hero.. anyways.. have to run out for a bit will check back later... on a side note.. if this actually unroots your phone and puts the rogers apps back on .. couldnt someone tweak this up date and make it a restore rom?

I can confirm that it installs a 'Perfected SPL'.
Version 1.33.0010 to be exact.
Proceed with caution! I read through some posts on how to root these devices with 1.33.0010 and I really wouldn't want to have to do that.
I haven't installed the ROM image, and I won't.
After running the RUU (before you even click Next or accept the terms), you can find rom.zip in "%TEMP%\{F313B180-FF83-48A8-B925-E14312A5AFCB}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}"

I'm sorry if this isn't being asked in the correct place but as this thread is already discussing the new ROM update I was hoping that someone here could please tell me whether or not this ROM update would SIM relock a SIM unlocked Rogers Magic phone?
I am asking because I should be recieving my new unlocked Rogers Magic (that I am going to be using on AT&T) any day now and while I wouldn't mind updating it with the new ROM I really don't want to go through the expense and hassle of having to SIM unlock it when part of the reason I bought the one I did on ebay is because it is already SIM unlocked. Thanks in advance for any information on this.

I really doubt it will. I don't know exactly how SIM unlocking works, but this update shouldn't touch those settings.
Why run the Rogers update with all of it's restrictions and crappy software? Download and install any one of the dozens of better ROMs available in this forum.

First let me admit that I am a total NOOB with Android and even the idea of flashing custom ROMs on cellphones (the phone I am upgrading from is an 8525 and had an 8125 before that and the only time I remember flashing either was updating the official ROM to 6.0 off of HTC's site). I guess this makes me a little behind the times but my idea of customizing was installing programs like Pockets Plus and then Mobile Shell 3 because I'm not a programmer and was a little intimidated about cooking the ROMS.
That said I was thinking of running the stock ROM atleast for a little while to get an idea of just what I like and don't like about it and then being more knowledgeable when I research what ROM I should upgrade to? Is there a list of the ROMs and what their customizations are for the Rogers version? Do you have any advise on what ROM's I should look at and what the differences are?
I'm afraid that I will be somewhat overwhelmed with the number of choices to be made. Besides, I use my phone on my job so I can't risk it having issues or having to reinstall everything on a regular basis so continually flashing it with new ROM's as they come out may not be a logical solution for me. I think I'd rather end up with something stable and able to use all the programs, etc that I need for work and play. Anyways, any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet would be to start off by running the ROM that it comes with. If you've got problems with timestamps in the ROM, use a program called ChompSMS.
Read this forum, look for information on the 32A HTC Magic. That's the version you are getting. Learn as much as you can without changing your phone at all. Once you've got enough information start by 'rooting' your phone, then play around with some custom ROMs.
Lots to learn around here. Make sure you use the search function.

The following link was made by skittleguy to try to combine all compatible roms for Rogers. There have been quite a few changes to most of these ROMS but you can go to each original thread and read up on different ROMs and their advantages and disadvantages. I believe most of the original threads are being updated from time to time, but you can always just do a search for the name of the ROM.

Personally if you want one that is stable and has all of its features working, I would go with Cyanogen's ROM v4.0.2 with Amon_RA'sv1.0.1 kernal. It is based of off MyTouch 3G. The link is below:

Having said that, there is one feature that I miss on this ROM, which is the smart dialpad.

don't tmobile use 32B? i am fairly certain this is for 32A only.

How about nordic Magics :O
They are 32a... When will we see it >_<

New HTC RUU update for 32B?

Hey,
has anyone seen or heard of any work in progress to port the Sense-update for 32A into a 32B release? I want it badly, and there must be several 32B users like me longing to get it...

I doubt it. Because 32B is Google/T-Mobile branded, therefore it's not HTC who'll update it.

HTC have already stated they will not be releasing SenseUI for Google branded Magics (32b).

I've heard that aswell, but won't porting be possible?

Porting is possible, and has been done.
If you've got a 32B Magic, check out the Dream forums. Most of their ROMs are compatible with 32B as well.
I could do a direct port to 32B Magic for my ROM, but it would run horribly slow and crash a lot, so I won't even try.

I wouldn't mind testing it. It's worth a try. Please

What rom did you load on when You rooted it? Because this is the link to the "stock" fender rom on cursordroid's post.

I'm currently running that what I'm looking for is the unrooted stock image files there is no benefit of having this phone rooted anyway.

just sell it rooted so the buyer wont have to go through the trouble; how much you selling it for anyway?

Im sorry buddy your screwed. I guess thats another specfic detail I have to add to the fender rooting thread. Once you root, That image is gone. Unless you can find one on the internet and convert it, you will not get it back. Problem is, for us to get recovery to be able to make a back up, we have to wipe the phone clean as is. So once you downgrade its gone.
I think I may just take the fender tut down. its ridiculous at how many people do it, when I have said there is no point, and then ask somethign liek this later.
It can still get OTA updates (over the air) from Tmobile, so just wait about a month and 2.1 will be on there all on its own.

I actually rooted it without your thread. I found your thread when i ran into the no touch problem. I used cursors ROM. I've been working with android phones/ROMs since the G1 came out. I was working on compiling a kernel for the phone because i actually like it(never had a mytouch b4) but now that i N1 i have no use for it and i want to sell it. I guess i'll just have to make a ROM based off one of the 32A port and hopefully the person that buys it of ebay won't know the difference :/
FYI: not everyone here is retarded i know what OTA means -_-

Gime a break dude.. I was just syaing in case because there are a lot of people here who dont know.
And if you were compiling a kernel why did you stop? because the best 3 guys are on it now and they cant get the new drivers to work.

Mainly because I made no progress and im attempting to sell the phone as I said I have a nexus 1 now

PLEASE HELP!! Rooting Mytouch 32A

Hi everyone. I'm really hoping somebody out there can help. I just got the latest mytouch 3g and its the 32A version. I CANNOT figure out how to root it! I've tried to follow the step in Cyanogen's wiki but this process has got me beat. ! I rooted the 32b just fine but I need a straight forward way to do this one. Also, I'm using Windows Vista. Thanks to ALL for for helping. I miss my Cyanogen!!

Nevermind
I didnt realize the the phone I have is the EXACT same as the Fender LE 1.2. My bad. Im not stupid! lol. I'll have to wait a while for a good ROM.

I rooted using the goldcard...then flashed cursordroid's radio SPL and stock rom...rooted...but stock

[Q] TMO UK 2.3.5 with sense 3

Hey guys,
Been reading around on here and seen that pretty much everyone has the 2.3.5 with sense 3 update.
My girlfriend recently got a Desire S on T-Mobile UK and she is still on 2.3.3 sense 2.1 with no sign of any sort of update, I have read a few threads round here to try to find an RUU or w/e but I can only find ones that are for other countries or operators.
Can someone point me to an RUU or guide me through obtaining the update?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Ian

Is it s-off or unlocked through HTC Dev. Here are the collection of stock Roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
If the stock ones don't work then look at S-offing your device.

We haven't done anything to it really since she got it, id rather keep it that way to be honest.
Current software version is "1.47.110.3 CL78999 release-keys" is this tmob specific software? Are we more likely to get the sense 3 update if I flashed a WWE RUU?
Thanks

Hi, I'm sorry but I don't know. T-mobile are a joke as far as updates are concerned. I take it you have tried to update through your phone ie, check for updates in settings.
The first thing I do when I get a new HTC is change the T-mobile softare for one of the custom Roms, they are far better and don't have the T-mobile crap on them.
Take a look through the t-mobile forum and you will see there are plenty of pissed off people waiting http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=80101915a8144e01337e648aca007a7d
Good luck

Okay, thankyou for taking the time to reply, I will maybe wait a while then look into the HTC DEV unlock method and just flash an untouched 2.3.5 on there

I would give it some consideration, the custom Roms are far more stable in my opinion and give you a lot more options.
Sorry I couldn't help more.
