For us Magic users who have rooted our HTC Magics and flashed a new rom on it, would it be mandatory for us to update to their rom?

I was wondering that too. They are saying their are disabling 3G Data on our phones till the upgrade is performed.
I'm afraid it has a perfected SPL.
no need for rooted users to upgrade... i believe the upgrade is just to fix the gps 911 issue. us rooted users dont experience that
Edit: Custom rom users
it's the sense ui upgrade as well.. and apparently one month of free data fees
Hmm according to the screenshot on the HTC website is shows Build number 3.05.631.7 which looks to be newest one I can find.
we need someone to verify what SPL is included with this update. I won't be updating my phone. I don't want to loose root
Yeah that's all fine and nice that we aren't affected with custom ROMs but did you guys not read the fine print?
Customers who have not downloaded this software update could have problems accessing 911. As a result, we are taking the precautionary measure of temporarily disabling internet access for Dream and Magic users on Sunday January 24 at 6:00AM (EST). Voice and text messaging will not be impacted. By disabling internet access, we can ensure that 911 calls are completed for all our Dream and Magic customers. Once a customer completes the software update, his/her internet access will be re-enabled within 24 hours.

hmm very strange so basically they are forcing everyone to update ...interesting...
I guess we'll have to see HOW they can know that we haven't updated.
Here's a link to the "about" for this version btw: http://www.htc.com/us/img/ca/HTC Magic (Rogers)/image001.png
does anyone know if rogers is able to check your build?
becuase in the instruction manual below step 4.
"Refer to the image and note the build number version listed. if you have the same build number version there is no need to update this software."
I looked inside the update file's rom.zip files and it appears to have a 1.76.0010
SPL
Well it's about time we got the Sense UI update... but I don't like the idea of being forced to update and getting perfected spl. I'll hold off on it until I get my internet disconnected.
The RUU has radio version 6.35.10.18, build 3.05.631.7... hmm
can anyone host the RUU I can sent it.
^Uploading now.
edit: beaten to it.

more info soonish
i uploaded to my work's temp data storage web server
Code:
URL no longer available
I can't add url's apparently so just copy and paste.
Just got an SMS tell me to update... I don't want a perfect SPL.

I'm willing to bet that's a perfected SPL...
Hopefully i won't get one as I already have a 1.6 rom loaded.
Rogers must have a way to verify connected phones rom versions.

I just phoned in and asked about the update. The fella didn't seem TOO savvy about it at all - he didn't know what a custom rom was.
He did, however, say that rogers is able to check what version you have through your "IP when you connect", and he wasn't 100% sure about what would happen to custom roms.
Frankly I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Just woke up this morning and turned my alarm off on my G1.
When I took a second look I had a notification of an update avalible. As a method has been found to get root with the lower firmware, im going to hold off the update and rename my certs ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443328 )
Im unclear at what version number this UK update will be, but take it that if the downloadable update is released, then this can be altered to still allow root access (ala JF's rc30 update)

Yeah, there's a couple of people over on the google group for android saying they've got the update. can't get one of them to post the full build so we can start to yank it from google yet though. Could you see if it's in /cache on your phone?
Looks like the uK build is kila_uk-user 1.0 TC5-RC8 116470 ota-rel-keys,release-
keys
Who want's to start working their magic first?
From what I understand, we are going to have to wait for the full release to become avalible for download as there hasnt been much luck in flashing the 4mb small updates.

I received my G1 yesterday. But I wanna know if I can root it. And how.

Try to flash it with the US RC29 or the UK firmware. But I don't think this will work as the SPL will block it.
AFAIK there's no way to get root at the non US/UK/Dev G1 at this time.
Michael
try update using rc30 update.zip file. I think you will install SPL for US region and you can flash back to RC29
Does it work? Because i wanted to buy the German G1 but if I can't root it, I will buy the UK Version.
@n8gk
work root with the US SPL ??
have you try this ??
If you flash a US or UK firmware on a german G1,....
will the Keyboard work correct ? the Layout for Z and Y are different.
Where can I get the RC30 update.zip file
Ther german has also a build 123099.
I didn't try to update, because I don't wanna loose the ability to go back to the original.
Waiting that a original one is out first. (because of language and keyboard)
Not Allowed
I tried to downgrade with rc29 firmware, but it isnt possible...
Checking...
Loading...
Not Allowed...
And then stuck in the bootloader...
I also got my G1 last week and it also has the 123099 Build.(I live in Austria) If there is any way how i can help to root this build (upload it?), let me know.
If i flash an UK or US firmware on my phone (suppose some genius finds a way how to do it) wouldn't it render the "Disable Data-Roaming" function useless, when i travel to one of these countries? And even deactivate the data connection in my home country?
In Austria tmo offers a roaming block on their side so i do not have to use this function on the phone, but i am just curious...
Maybe one of the more experienced users in here could tell us about the chances of rooting such a device.
Are there any or did Google / T-Mobile finally fix the backdoor completely?
Greetings,
Becksman
In device info the build description is:
kila_eu-user 1.1 TMI-RC4 123099
ota-rel-keys,release-keys
And build id:
TMI-RC4
The backdoor has been fixed for some time now... But as long as you were able to revert to an older image you can re-root your device, but we are not able to do this because we would need to use an image with another CID and that is not allowed with the original SPL. But the only way to change SPL is when you have your device rooted...
Correct me if im wrong plz..
So that means bad news for the European G1 owners?
seems so. and because the developers here already got a us-hacked version, they not seem to be interested in hacking this 1.1 firmware the one or other way.
are the european developers to stupid/busy to do it? or are they so clever to get a us one?
in the european firmware 1.1-version the manufacturer has alredy fixed the lame telnetd-root bug and the bootloader. and this is, on what the us-g1-hacks are based on.
i have the hope that some day a local root exploit will apear, which exploits the kernel or another vital component of the g1 to get root without telnetd.
maybe such a kernel exploit will be discovered in the standard linux kernel which can be portet to android; or some great reversing/hacking-debugging-genious-mastermind finds an android exploit all by himself.
android is so new, there MUST be bugs to exploit locally.
Iam a highlevlel-programmer, iam not able to find such local root vulnerabillities.

Has anyone tried it yet?
ruu tool doesn't find the phone
-edit: nevermind, I must be blind -
Is Spark the codename for Trophy? Haven't heard of HTC Spark...
It is very simple, disconnect your phone from the USB cable. Turn him off. Press VOL down holding him and press start holding it. Then you will see this color mode with SPL version, connect USB to the phone, new driver for sync will be installed, after that start the firmware update..
But i still get a error message: Wrong Vendor ID, so we need to wait for some HSPL or SPL.
Enjoy
i did what you said but I still cant find my phone. SYNC software wasnt found btw

Have you installed the zune software? You need it for the drivers.
Yes I have. Do I need to start up Zune?
Edit: To be more specific: I get the "connection error". They tell me to check my usb-cable. I don't understand what's wrong. When I return to normal mode and connect my phone to Zune, it is recognised....
Hello,
thank you for this page. This website has given me the only info I can find with this phone.
I want to update my firmware as I can only have one apn active, some options are not there that I am sure should be.
To get the driver to work, you need to install ActiveSync. Zune did not install the driver needed for the firmware update.
I followed the process through. Got to the stage of it being updated, then recieved an error "This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get a newer NBF file"
I have a htc spark and im sure its an old version, I have been using it for dev and testing..
any ideas or possibly a different firmware image to try?
Much appreciate the info on this site.
It work for all Trophy ? I have a Vodafone Spanish version.
Thanks.
No not all. It doesn't work on mine (got the wrong vendor ID). Waiting for another.
You cannot un-brand your Phone with this rom. If you have a Vodafone Trophy it will not update.

I am just not sure about updating my HTC Trophy 7 Vodafone with this ROM. Is there any knowledge on how Microsoft will apply updates to Windows Phone 7?
So far, I have read on several places on the web that, in case of a provider modified phone as mine, the provider has to confirm the Microsoft updates for their custom (provider) ROM. I wonder if it is the ROM contacting the Microsoft searching for updates (with or without IMEI information, Vendor ID etc.) or if Microsoft just pushes the updates toward the active Windows Live accounts.
Couldn't there be a chance that if we, somehow, apply an "unofficial" update for a device (like the EU ROM for a Vodafone device) that we will not be able to receive further updates anymore?
Sorry for posting this here, it is just that I think this could be possible and I couldn't find any documentation on this on the web.
yeah i've read that to...
Was quite dissapointed because i also have an vodafone branded rom...
But anyways, it's a matter of time before we can flash different kind of roms to the phone.
And when the update comes, maybe some guys over here can benefit from it to flash an rom to the signed phone.

With my Nexus One, was only a matter of time at first. After that period of time of nobody knowing anything, well, you know the rest, everybody have their devices rooted and with cooked and stock unbranded roms, and all work very fine.
I suppose that with WP7 is only a matter of time too, so no worry about it. Enjoy your beautiful new phone, and when an update comes officially from MS, then we will see.
P.S. I'm looking forward to the arrival of my Trophy, probably on monday or tuesday. I believe that I could have it today but...
I was wondering if anyone who has the GDR2 Update (preferably unbranded, bc I think you will have to run the HTC RUU to get back to pre-GDR2) could preform a little experiment to help some of us that still haven't received it yet. (Thanks, T-Mobile!)
If anyone is helping out, it would be much appreciated!
The Idea:
1. Have someone downgrade their device to pre-GDR2 (I think a hard reset will work?).
2. Set up fiddler to decrypt HTTPS traffic and install the root cert on their htc 8x.
3. point their phone at the fiddler proxy and run windows updates. When it is done installing GDR2, stop capturing traffic and send me the session logs.
4. ????????
5. PROFIT.
I will gladly provide more details if anyone is interested in helping out.

Has anyone been able to get the ota update from verizon ?
I went back to completely stock 4.4.4 rom with no system roms removed, stock 4.4.4 recovery and I flashed back to 4.4.4 firmware and the verizon ota updates keeps coming up that I have the latest software.
I know its out because verizon itself even shows it on the net going over the update in detail. They even show you can also get the update through the htc sync software by plugging your m8 in to yuour computer usb port and downloading the update. Which the htc sync software keeps showing no update either.
It would show a repair software option though which I tried that knowing I would still have s-off even if they did relock my bootloader because I could change my cid and use htc dev to unlock that if I needed to.
Anyone have any luck going back to stock and taking the LP ota from verizon ?
If you want the breaking news just keep watching these forums. It will be announced AS SOON AS it's available for someone to download and the file will be captured and posted here AS SOON AS that first person can write the post.

Nothing here yet....tried all the "usual suspects"...HTC Sync Manager, Check for updates, forcing manual checkin....if I had to guess, VZW put the info for the update on their site before they actually started pushing it, and it will actually start rolling out sometime today.
The htc web site now shows the LP update is in stage 4 final but nothing showing on ota ? Verizon stop screwing with us...

Actually you can FIND OUT FASTER by checking the htc web site as they show the update process which is now on stage 4 final release. No need TO WAIT for someone to post it on here when you can find it AT THE SOURCE.
