I'm living in Canada on a small network called Mobilicity and they don't sell this tmobile htc sensation. I don't need the tmobile apps cuz they don't work on our network up here. I assume that even when android 4.0 comes out on tmobile that I'm going to have to update manually? And if so should I already upgrade to android 4.0 seeing as Bell Cincinnati already is updating their sensations?
S-off, root, recovery, backup, and then install 3.32 firmware and ARHD 6.6.3...
There's no need for you to wait, and you can try other 3.32 base roms while you're at it.
Thanks a lot. I got it to work. I thought i bricked it at the CID part but was able to do it through the boot screen and get the right ID. Works amazing. Thanks for the help. I've fixed computers since age 12 and the more i went along the more natural it became.
I was rocking a Sony Ericsson TM506 for 2 years with Mobilicity up here. Then got this phone and heard there was an updated Android, and I get OCD when there's an update, i had to do it and i did it. Thanks to your help and the guides on this site.
Yep. Now you can just watch the thread for whatever ROM you decide to use and run manual updates as they come out... You can also use CWM from the playstore to automate the process, but many will argue that EXT4 is far superior.

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.

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.

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.
Thats what I am on. I keep seeing posts about 1.85 and 1.87.
So since im on 1.73 can I use the 1 click root since thats all I might wanna do for now?
What are the major differences from mine and say 1.85?
Simple question but new with the HOX so I got to ask before I go making uninformed judgements on modding up my phone.

If your on Rogers you are up to date.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Seeing as you're in Canada, if you bought a Rogers phone and unlocked it for Virgin, Rogers only has phones with 1.73 base AFAIK. Just use this to root your phone. From there, if you plan on flashing custom ROMs then head to htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader. When flashing each ROM, it will come with whatever base it was built on (I think most are 1.88 right now). Personally, I recommend going with KingCobra1X, but to each his own.
There are reports of better Wifi and data connectivity on the newer bases. If you want to upgrade to these using official RUU's I would avoid the AT&T ones since there's some functionality taken away due to lawsuits from Apple, as well as the Wifi tethering disabled. Just go with the Asia 1.88 RUU if you plan on upgrading that way.

I am on Rogers. Forgot to change the logo to Rogers which I will be fixing now.
Thanks for the informative post there. I will be doing all this tonight!
Cant wait to flash
I have a rooted HTC Amaze with s-on and unlocked bootloader. Yesterday I tried to flash Android Revolution so I can have an ICS rom. I couldn't use my phone for almost an entire day until I finally figured out how to get back onto bulletless around 2am.
I want to upgrade to ICS but I have no clue what to do, I have read many many threads about what to do but nothing is really clear to me.
I might be asking something really obvious to some people but I am eff'd if I can't use my phone and I just need a little help from someone who can tell exactly what to do, thanks everyone.
HTC AMAZE
Originally Telus, unlocked for WIND now.
version 2.3.4
Bulletless V2.4.1
Sense 3.0
no help????
