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.

That "Test only, not for sale" advertise is because the customer is using the Beta HTC 6.5 Rom in is Rhodium. You can change the rom using the GoldCard method or the HardSPL one. Just search the current forum to know how to do it.

So you got a brand new phone, and it had that splash screen in it?

I think rhod400 is CDMA, dont flash GSM ROM.

CDMA-GSM -> RHOD400, RHOD500.
Only way is using Goldcard for signed roms or wait until HardSPL cames to the CDMA Phones...

Moving to CDMA forum.
I am also closing this thread down since the original question has been answered. Until HardSPL for CDMA is released, we are tethered to official ROMs.

HTC TyTN II ROM - Please help

Hi,
I have the HTC TyTN II smart phone with the orange rom on it, im trying to find out how to get rid of this and put the orig rom instead so I can use the phone with another network. The phone is already unlocked but theres so many roms out there I have no idea which one I should be using. Can anyone please advise me on which one i should be downloading.
Many Thanks

If the phone is unlocked then it doesn't matter what ROM you use, just pick a one off the first page and flash it.
None of the ROMs are network specific, ATT based ROMs work better on the Tilt handsets and HTC based ROMs work better on TyTN 2 handsets. Most ROMs are HTC based nowadays.
If you need any help with the flashing process or have any more questions, please post them in this thread.
Thanks
Dave

Wrong thread, should post in ROM section.
You have a branded phone, these are official ROMS for unbranded phones, wayt till TM provides theire new ROM based on an official HTC ROM.
Or HSPL your phone (void warranty) and flash away

Had the same problem and flashed the latest ROM using SSPL. It was quite painless and the HD2 works fine. Do a search for SSPL or HSPL in this forum and all will be explained.
good luck

Why is it necessary to download the new rpm. I have the same problem. Just curious. My phone seems to be working nicely.

Use the below link to get the ROM and then grab a Goldcard and put the ROM on. Or you can follow the HSPL route instead if you prefer.
Will probably invalidate any TMo warranty you may have so be aware.

Debrand possible after s-off?

Hi guys.
Currently have a dhd but o2 have offered me an early upgrade.
So I'm getting a Sensation next week. In the past they've sent me unbranded handsets & some branded.
Just wondered that once the s-off method has been made public, would one still be able to Debrand & use custom roms as I have been on dhd?
My apologies for the lack of knowledge. Just that I've not had to make goldcards etc on dhd as that came unbranded from o2.
I'm sure someone will make a guide etc.. Xda is very helpful like that
Thanks Y'all

After S-OFF you can flash any rom you like, so you can definately debrand your phone.

The only branding on my o2 sensation was the wallpaper, I haven't checked the simlock yet but I assume its locked to o2
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App

Normally at germany HTC sim lock isnt allowed. I believe its the same for Eu devices
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA Premium App

Hi guys what I mean is o2 & other networks have a different software number to the official htc one.
So even if I do have an o2 branded handset, once the s-off method is here can I just proceed with goldcard, then downgrade & straight into a LeeDrOiD rom?
I was lucky with my dhd from o2 as this one kept the original htc software version & not o2's own.
Thank you for the advice & help guys =)

I was so happy when phones4u gave me an unbranded one! Orange generally put loads of ****e on the phones!

We don't know the process yet. Downgrade was specific to dhd for an exploit for radio s off.
Simply put though, once you have s off you can flash any rom.
