you never know, someone may forget to look and brick their phone installing it.
If their isn't anywhere else, then atleast be sure a warning is posted on top of their page and in title if possible

Why is that? The CS Hero is CDMA just as the Sprint Hero. I have used roms meant for Sprint for months with no issues. The radios are even interchangeable. If you brick your phone using a CS rom, you are doing something terribly wrong.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534464&highlight=repository
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544854
Having said that, there is one feature that I miss on this ROM, which is the smart dialpad.

Doesn't matter it will only tell you if you have root and not if the phone is unlocked. Two different things, what exactly are you looking for are you wanting to use it out of your country? That's what unlocking will do for you.

Move it.
This isn't exactly where this should be posted. I'm not being a prick; I'm just sick of what's been happening more often than none since the release of the MyTouch. This section of the overall thread is flooded with "GENERAL" questions.
And for the record, the phrase "unlocked" doesn't necessarily apply to our ANDROID-based OS devices. ROOTED would be a more appropriate term because it's functioning on what is more likely to be LINUX as opposed to, say - SOME APPLE INC. bull****!
Excuse my French fellas.
If by "unlocked" the OP really didn't mean being rooted, the quickest way to check is to put in a SIM card from another carrier. No?

Sure, sure.
Indeed. Specify next time guy.
Test it as she has stated here. Toss in another SIM card from a GSM provider.
That's about the only way to validate the "unlocked" nature of the phone.

Well it doesnt really get any more specific than that, now does it?...And yes, just thought to myself this morning why not put a different sim card in the phone to see if it works.

This is a new development segment?? Wrong forum...
I'm sure this is a question which a lot of lurkers wants to know.
There are a lot of custom roms/mods out now in the development section, but will they work with the SGH-T959P?
I've done searches on this forum and there are no posts that has a solution or answer.

He has the Fascinate 4G that is on Telus from Canada. It's different from the first Fascinate. Which there is no section on xda yet. I think the U.S. version is SCH-1500 and the Telus Fascinate is SGH-T959D. Both are different from what he has.
Please don't try to flash anything in the regular Fascinate section of XDA. You may brick your phone.
Yes, to reaffirm that I have the galaxy s2 from Telus in Canada.
So there isn't much support for this phone right now correct? And do you think support is coming soon?

if you guys can get me the STOCK build number I can see if I can get you what you need.
ours looks like UVKD1
I need something that looks like that. or just send me the build.prop from a working phone.
That sounds promising. Obviously I don't have a working phone... but I do have a set of clockwordmod backups (.android_secure.img, cache.img, data.img, system.img) Would that work somehow?
Hi, I have SGH-T959P phone, where I can upload/send you build.prop?
Thanks for offering to help! I sent you a PM.

I have the Fascinate 4G from telus too and hope that someone can work on some roms hope this helps

Its best to go into the Evo subforum, Q&A for questions like this.
4G/WIMAX/LTE/HSPA+ are not affected by root at all, so don't worry about it. Providers don't block data for phones with root, it checks the IMEI to check that the device is on the Carrier list, and your plan needs data included.

That's not exactly true.
Early root methods for the Evo and photon caused a loss of the rsa key.
He's having an issue that's specific to his rom/kernel and its best that he either ask in the rom/kernel thread or in Evo subforum Q&A

Then I guess it's different for people with cdma phones, no such issue is heard of on rooted gsm devices.
Im guessing 1. Bad download. Or 2. Bad communication between rom and radio. You wipe everything correctly?

Yes, you can still ROOT/S-OFF all M8 models using Sunshine I believe. You can also install most if not all of the ROM's available for it, including PA. To my knowledge most of the ROM's in the main M8 section are compatible with the carrier versions of the phone and if they aren't then they say so somewhere in the threads, someone can correct me on the "most of" part if i'm wrong.
