[Q] Hacked Mango Rom - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so in the moment I'm with 7.10.7720.68 firmware ver. Radio soft ver is 5.51.09.29_22.32.50.10U. So my question is : what do I need to download to get a hacked mango rom (where I can sideload apps on it) and eventually everything needed to get my hd7 hacked? I'm very sorry to start a new thread but I dont know anything about radios and stuff and if you may pls give me a step by step guide about hacking and upgrading because 1$t I dont know which rom is for me 2nd I dont know how to upgrade. MANY MANY thanks in advance!

Nobody knows? Jeez...

First of all, there are some custom ROMs based on leaked HTC RTM ROMs (not RTM provided by MS). I've installed those one for my HTC Mozart.
The main question is: Is there a difference between the leaked HTC Rom and the rollout version. From software/radio version, there are no differences to see. However, someone said that some drivers are missing.
So if this is true, you have to wait until a custom ROM based on the latest rollout is provided...

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.
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.

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.

[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.

[Q] Can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China) on Atrix AT&T?

[Q] Can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China) on Atrix AT&T?
Hey guys, first of all I must say that is not English, I speak Spanish so if I say something wrong I hope to understand.
I turn to you for that, I buy a Refurbished Atrix 2 Released to Amazon, is AT & T My question is: I can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China)? I would like to tell me if I can do and if there is a tutorial to install.
Thank you for your attention!

you can't install the leaks.
There are multiple roms you can install in the development section.
read the noob guide that is sticky for some basic info, then the rom threads for installation instructions

You can install and run custom roms, but there's some things you need to read and understand beforehand. Please read THIS THREAD and you will see that there are several things you must first do, in order to be running custom roms on your device. First, you will need to make sure you are running on Android 2.3.6. for many of the roms in the ATRIX 2 Android Development section, then you will need to attain root, install the custom CWM (Clockworkmod) Recovery, then you will be able to flash whichever rom you so choose.
However, you need to understand that there are international firmware differences relating to the different ATRIX 2 models and their specific regional firmware(s), and roms that are based off these international firmwares may not work on your device! You need to know which device you have, and for which device the rom you are wanting to install is specified to run on. You may brick your phone if you try to install a rom that ins't designed to run on your device! (You have been warned) The leaked ICS updates will NOT work on an ATT.en.US system version!
Well, I do not think I will risk that many steps and I am a newbie.
But still thank you very much for clearing the doubt! Waiting For the ICS official.

It's really not all that difficult. You just have to have a clear understanding of what you are doing -BEFORE doing anything! It's useful knowledge, especially if you are interested in customizing your device beyond what Motorubbish has in its stock rom...
I like your clarity mate, at least you dont wanna mess with your device until you learn. Appreciate that

Yes, after rooting, installing the custom recovery (CWM), and flashing a rom, you can always FXZ back to stock 2.3.5. and the OTA (over-the-air) update to 2.3.6. which will return your device to the fully stock Moto rom.

[Q] How can I get an official update from a device with a ROM demo?

Hello all.
I recently bought a Samsung Focus S (i937) on eBay, but the equipment was a mobile phone demonstration of a store, and as such came with a demo ROM (7.10.7739.25), now I want to install on it a normal rom official, can someone help?
My best bet is trying to find an official ROM for it up here, and then flash it.

There is no way to install ROM on this device.
In my opinion, the only way out of this demo version would be to find a CAB file leading to update.
Here is a thread where you can find official ROMs and flashing tools with complete discription.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
SparkW (Verizon Trophy) users had this problem. For the longest time, the only leaked flashable roms turned our phones into demo models! It was terrible because the device would reset itself every day at midnight, and all your data/programming (this is a CDMA phone after all) would be gone!
We where finally granted a solution in that a full Mango rom leaked before Mango's release to Zune, so we could finally "un-demo" our phones. It wasn't for a few months after that that DFT added support for SparkW with their unlocked bootloaders.
If you cannot find a flashable rom, perhaps your phone has an unlocked bootloader available? With that, you could possessively flash a 3rd party rom. I don't know anything about Samsung phones, so I don't know how useful my input is. I do understand how manually pushing updates is a waste a time (it really is.. just a complete waste) as it won't remove the package creating the demo.
Looking at the Samsung Focus S forum.. how is this device not a legacy/low use device on xda? The Spark/Trophy forum is way more active then this?! ;

This thread has nothing to help me.
I'm there to ask questions and nobody can.
Sent from my SGH-i937 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
With the new updates for wp7.8 had news for the Focus S?
Once the zune doesn't update the device, it can be possible to obtain the update via the SevenEighter?
I've tried but without success.
