Good morning everyone,
I need some help. I'm selling my phone tomorrow and I want to make it stock as possible. Like a month ago I made my phone s-off to install the scandinavian ICS, but now the official ICS is released in all the european countries I want the official OTA on my sensation, so the new owner can get future ota updates.
I couldnt really find good threads, so I thought lets make a new one.
I found out you have to flash an old rom. I decided to go back to GB.
I found out this link... (cant post links, but the filefactory with all the ruu's)
Problem is that i dont know what radio version I had.
1.27.401.3 but so does 1.45.401.3
Is there a way to find out? Cause I cant find it anymore now I have ICS.
And whats the next step?
Hope you guys cant help me out.
Someone?
I guess you could just flash the RUU for your country & operator. If you also super cid'ed, then change the cid to default for your country/operator as well.
The sticky thread should be able to provide you with the details.
Cheers, Jp

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.

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 >_<
RUU_Bravo_Virgin_Mobile_1.23.351.1_Radio_32.36.00. 28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_128941_sig
It is 1.23
No Idea about what other languages or anythig is inside there. but it is 1.23 and I did not see this version on there yet.
This is an official Released ROM by HTC.
I am not really sure of what Lang is inside of here. I would assume WWE, but not sure, might even be for UK.
It is an offical HTC Release though, signed and everything, so flashing this, you will more then likely loose Root, unless there is another way around it. I really am not sure, but this will serve has a warning.

it is boot .80 and 1.23 so no way i can root it back for a LOOOOONG time, not until there is a test ruu/rootedupdate for this version and below. will have to use another phone until then as cannot afford to unlock it.
Re: RUU_Bravo_Virgin_Mobile_1.23.351.1_Radio_32.36.00.
Warning should appear in the title of this post! It's really dangerous to flash it...

ahh, my own fault really. i guess its not safe to flash anything other than WWE 1.20 and below. fingers crossed that there is a new rooter soon as there have been alot of issues with the 3UK rom at 1.22 so a new root system is over due
there's a version with superuser, a2sd and wifi tethering here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/311140/rom-bravo-1-23-351-1/
I'm so glad my Desire is unbranded, and still running .75
Conflipper, no chance of getting an Orange UK ROM? Thanks for your efforts, regardless!
orangeuk
there has been no luck getting the orange rom so far, but there if a thred on here or madaco where someone still has their phone on the orange branded and if he gets told how to do it he will rip the rom
Any changelog? I've a 1.21.405 (no rooted) and I dont know if this version will be better than mine.
BR.
I will look for an Orange UK ROM.
I didn't realize there was a need for one.
I have severe problems with 3G i thought flashing back to original might solve things. Want to see if the device itself might have problems.
orange demand
yea, man HUGE demand for a UK Orange rom througout all desire forums. P.S in Norfolk, UK i have a hard time getting 3G on any rom, Gues the signal sucks but keep in mind that orange and t-mobile are merging and you will be able to use t-mobile signal soon for no extra charge.
P.S unlocked my phone today WOO!
hello guys.
i want to ask sumthing.
this ROM is official right? so if i want to flash it to my desire, do i need to root my phone or just simply run the exe?
thanx
Hi Guys,
I have searched high and low for the UK T-Mobile RUU for the Sensation. I am having issues with the camera on my phone and after trying 3 or 4 roms so I want the option to easily get back to stock, but I cannot find the T-Mo RUU anywhere.
I thought I found a compatible one in the RUU thread but it kept saying it could not detect my phone so I gave up in the end.
I suppose in short if there isn’t a leaked T-Mo UK RUU available what would be the easiest way to get back to stock, and be able to receive OTA updates etc?
Many thanks - and im sorry I know this must have been asked before, and I did search before asking.

theres isn't RUU for TMO UK that has been leaked but you can use the HTC European ROM from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
just download the one you prefer. Should work fine
Ahh that's great, I wasn't sure if it had to be the exact one or not.
many thanks for the help

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.
Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is the wrong area as i am new.....
I am currently starting to get into bulding roms etc, but i am wanting to revert to stock however i cant find one for australia. Is there any issue using a stock ruu from a diferent region, and if so what are they?
I have ICZ at the moment and want to wait for the OTA update to start modding that, and just want to be able to go back to GB for now.
Also to install an ruu should it be done directly from phone or via pc and usb connection?
I am thinking of installing a runnymede rom from europe. Does anyone have any suggestions as to if this will allow me to get the proper ICS OTA upgrade? Or any ideas on how to install a stock rom in australia??
Thanks very much, John
Find you phone in the forum and go to development post your topic there or in the help section of that phone section.
Thats the best i can do
