The software upgrade posted below provides several key enhancements for your Mogul:
1. Upgrades the operating system from Windows Mobile® 6.0 Professional to Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional
2. Adds Sprint TV
Did you look at the date?
This rom has been around for a while now.

Well, at least we know Sprint is advertising it now.

Beware if you use WMWifiRouter. This rom does not allow you to share internet through Sprint PCS. It only allows the Phone as modem option. I would just use DCD 3.2.6. It blows that rom away.

I'm pretty confident that I can upgrade my tmobile vario rom following the great instructions provided by forum members! the main question I hqve is do any tmobile uk owners have any recommendations on what rom to upload to? I'm fed up with all the bugs in this handset!
For now I'm using the HTC 1.35.255.2 (AKU2.3) ROM
I tried the HTC 2.05.255.1 (AKU3.3) ROM, but there were a couple of little things that didn't work - Windows Media Player wouldn't stream anything for example.
As a T-Mobile UK user who lives and works in London, it was nice to see the little "U" at the top of the screen turn into a little "H" with the AKU3.3 Rom, but I'm waiting for a final release with the bugs ironed out before I go back to AKU3.3.
I've had some irritating issues with my T-Mobile UK Vario II as well.
After I did a hard-reset and the T-mobile crap installed intself I can't for the life of me get the internet explorer to browse over Wi-Fi (even though I can connect to the router just fine).
What is the latest (or best) official t-mobile rom and where do I get it? (the wiki directs me to a blackberry download page).
there is no t-mobile uk rom at present, i am waiting for one myself, after already sending my device back once and getting a replacement as kept dropping calls, and bluetooth is utter rubbish on this device at present. Major problems with bluetooth car kit and this device.people not hearing me speak or in spits and spurts.
I am currently runnning the test aku 3.3 2.05 rom, which is far better than any of the others that i have tried. the 1.35 is also a lot better than the standard t-mobile rom.
my advice is either go for the 1.35 or the test 2.05 rom. you will notice the differnce immediately over the normal rom.
Hopefully it wont be long now before an official rom gets released by T-Mobile. They are seriously dragging there heals on this.
T-Mobile_UK_Vario_2_ExtROM_WWE.zip
I uploaded this on to to my unlocked HTC TyTN (AKU 2.3), as I'm a T-Mobile USA subscriber & miss two of the MDA (wizard) ExtRom apps -
a. the sign in for TMobile (accesses the secure tmobile1x with a protcol that is not in 2.3 (AKU 2.3), and
b. a TMobile push for pop3 email on their My T-mobile service.
I also cannot send or receive MMS and hoped it might help with that.
It did not add either tool, nor make MMS worked and it stopped the Exchange 2003 push working. It really only adds meta icons for tools already present and a camera patch (not sure if needed).
The other Wizard apps - Instant Messaging and t-zones are available elsewhere.
I flashed it back to the HTC ExtROM & my MS Exchange push works again.
Thanks to the excellent help on this site that I could do this and go back.
Main reason for the post tho is to explain the content & post a warning about the Exchange push.
Do you guys using the original rom also have networking troubles with msn messenger?
Just sits there attempting to sign in?
I also had this on my mda pro and wondered if it was a rom problem or a t mobile specific thing
i think messenger is just slow not sure if the latest version messenger live rectifies these problems! does rom 2.5 rectify the tmobile 3g issue?
T-mobile Rom
Hi
I too am having issues with the t-mobile rom. Historically, T-mobile are always amoung the last to fix their bugs. They were very very slow on the universal.
I also really do wonder why operators see fit to include loads of operator branded [email protected] that no one wants!
I have unlocked my device using Pof's unlocker and installed radio 1.27. I mainly use my device on the train with a laptop via bluetooth. Thus far, I am finding that the 1.27 rom is worse than the 1.06 rom. Data does not keep moving as well as before, and I have more black spots on my commute.
I dont have the time, patience or nerve to chop and change roms too often, so I will wait for a AKU3.3 english official rom that has streaming etc working correctly before I upgrade.
I'd love for t-mobile to release on officially, but I doubt this will happen any time soon.
My main issues are with bluetooth and MMS. Bluetooth disconnects and disables itsself randomly (bloody anoying!). MMS does not appear to work unless you install all the t-mobile crap. I tried to install it by cherry picking from the cabs, but unless I install them all then the MMS folders in outlook dissapear on a soft reset.
The device also has a habit of deleting the t-mobile internet settings for the hell of it.
My universal was like this at first, until I shoved a Qtek rom on it instead.

I will be in Costa Rica in 2 weeks and will need a phone.
I took the plunge and flashed my phone to:
Titan Radio ROM 3.42.30 [6-25-08 From Vogue (ship) ROM]
DCD Titan ROM 3.2.0 [6-24-08 WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.19958 Build 19958.1.2.0]
is there any way i can use the phone down there, or will I need to rent an international phone?
thanks in advance

If there's a CDMA provider down there, it could work. If not, you're out of luck.
if Wi-Fi is available in most places, try using Skype for PocketPC
its possible. i know VZW sold their stake in the Costa Rica cell phone company a little over a year ago, and it became Clara. there is definitely a CDMA network (and possibly EVDO) down there, but you would only roam if VZ has roaming contracts with the carrier(s) there. check verizons site or call them up.
Here is your answer from Verizonwireless.com. I looked because next spring I will being traveling there to finish my degree or maybe China.

It seems skype doesnt work on 6.1
any other suggestions?
I'm building a home in CR and use the mogul when down there. I do not use phone service since it is very expensive. I use wifi and can receive and send email and skype. You can use skype by going to their web site, using wifi and looking/hearing your messages. I have a skype number so people can leave messages and I email them back. I also use the Igo mini bluetooth keyboard so it is easier to type responses. Wifi is generally available at hotels etc. I hope this helps.

I just recieved a text from VZW saying that there is a software update available and to do the *228 option 2 to get it. Is this an upgrade to WiMo 6.1? I'm afraid to do it since I finally finally got my 6800 exactly where I want it to be and I don't want VZW crap to screw it all up...
Thanks!

I doubt they would do an OTA update for WM6.1. This is just for the roaming features / text messaging.
Option 2 is a Roaming update utility. Option 1 is programming updates. WM6.1 won't be an over the air update. You will have to manually install it.

First, post what you received exactly and the number that sent the message. I have not heard of them doing this.
Secondly, *228 option 2 only updates roaming capabilities. You will have no changes to anything but which towers your phone uses for roaming. LOL, you will not upgrade your ROM or Radio versions or anything else for that matter.
Here is the text I received...
From: 900070003788
FREE Verizon Wireless software update! In a VZW digital area, dial *228 and press SEND. Choose option 2 when prompted. This call is airtime free.

Yup, that's just a "roaming update". It updates your PRL.
from wikipedia:
"The Preferred Roaming List (PRL) is a database residing in a wireless (primarily CDMA) device, such as a cellphone, that contains information used during the system selection and acquisition process. In the case of RUIM-based CDMA devices, the PRL resides on the RUIM. The PRL indicates which bands, sub bands and service provider identifiers will be scanned and in what priority order. Without a PRL, the device may not be able to roam, i.e. obtain service outside of the home area. There may be cases where missing or corrupt PRL's can lead to a customer not having service at all.
On many networks, regularly updating the PRL is advised if the subscriber uses the device outside the home area frequently, particularly if they do so in multiple different areas. This allows the phone to choose the best roaming carriers, particularly "roaming partners" with whom the home carrier has a cost-saving roaming agreement, rather than using non-affiliated carriers. PRL files can also be used to identify home networks along with roaming partners, thus making the PRL an actual list that determines the total coverage of the subscriber, both home and roaming coverage.
The PRL is built by an operator and is normally not accessible to the user. Many operators provide the ability for the user to download the latest PRL to their device by dialing the Over-the-air (OTA) feature code *228."
Great... Thanks! Guess I can safely do that at least...
I have a Verizon XV6800 but have never received any such messages from Verizon. What must I do to receive them?

That message depends on the area you are in. If there is new PRL information in your area... you will get a message.
Hi, I have my Htc6800 (formely on alltel) and I got everything (voice,internet,mms,gps)working on MetroPcs. Now I got my friend Verizon XV6800 phone to flash to MetroPcs. I programmed everything exactly same as my 6800 but with his settings and number. I can not get any voice service. It has no Signal, I get this weird icon next to the signal tree. See Picture http://img81.imageshack.us/i/noservice.png/ . I have Rom MetroPCs2.1, radio 3.42.50 on both phones, and PRL list 00068. Both running Ryan mogul Version 2.1 Light (WM 6.5) *Default Titanium. I tired to flash back original Verizon rom and I can do it but get same problem. I may add that both phones have cloned ESN's but only one works. His phone has his esn and mine has mine. Same roms,radio and bootloader on both devices. Please tell me what to do to fix this "No Service". Thanks
Sounds like you need a carrier cab. There was a thread that contained all that info already as well. Here is the site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501754
It also contains the cabs to get the MMS/Internet running as well
anytime you flash a rom non specific to your carrier you will need these files to bring up service. I hope it helps you out some.

Carefully read through all of the relevant threads Ryan Mogul has posted.
Many metro people have had issues and he seams to walk even the un-helpable through untill you fix the problem.
Also take advantage of the xda google tool (top brown ribbon tab named Search). You will find everything there.
Hi, thanks for replies. I have used prl from within rom i used that was made by ryam mogul and everything works on one phone but not second. I flashed back original verizon rom and I had same problem with NO SERVICE. Is maybe hardware different between these two phones. One was alltel and other (non working) is verizon. Is there anything is cdma workshop that I have not done or did do that was wrong. I super cid it per instructions and changed esn. It there option to disable voice service anywhere ? I can get wifi but no gps and voice and I get that weird icon. http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/3048/noservice.png
Update. I got signal when I flashed back to original Verizon Rom with original stock radio in it. It gets and works in EVDO mode. I will try to convert to MetroPcs Roma and see what happens.
Does anyone know if there will be a ROM update for the HTC Hero that is available from Hutchinson 3 UK?
Thanks
Presumably yes but HTC Hero 3 branded is very new at the time of writing so we will have to wait. It is basically same thing as eg Orange or T Mobile with there own spash screen and perhaps home page. There may be Planet 3 , I dont know , only 3 users can tell us here.
3 Branded
I have 3's HTC Hero. There is no splash screen or any branding apart from 2 shortcuts on the homescreen(which you can easily remove) to Planet3 and 3favourites. Does anyone know whhther 3's Hero is running the latest version of HTC's Sense or is it still running the first version?
Thank you for info.
You can check that by going to settings>> scroll down>> About phone or something like that.
I think this thread should have been placed in General section.
Software Version
My software version is 1.0.0.A6288 or something like that. What is the latest one?
Don't look at the software version - look at the build number. If it starts 2.73, you are effectively on the latest firmware.
Regards,
Dave
@yusufdaud - did you get any specific software for 3 network by any chance? (ie skype, msn or anything)?
3 Software
Didn't come with Skype or WLM preinstalled. According to Three's website it should have Skype out of the box though.
WLM to be launched soon according to three portal which will also be totally free like skype.
I think other network subscribers are going to be jealous
@yusufdaud - can you confirm the firmware number on your hero? Thanks
I am having some major issues with this.
I bought a Hero from Amazon last month, not knowing that it would be packaged and released by Three Uk, so essentially I have setup everything : I now have internet etc.
I am a Three user however, so when I called the Customer Support (HA!) line they said I should be able to install the skype client once they release their packaged phone this month.
I was able to install the skype client this morning, which, as it was on my old 3 phone, worked perfectly with using any of my minutes.
The issue I know have is that it does not put the phone back to sleep, even after I removed the installation and power cycled my phone... it is awake 100% of the time even after skype has been removed and my power usage has suffered as a result.
Does anyone have any ideas how to remedy this? I am a complete noob when it comes to this :<
Firmware
Firmware Version - 1.5
Build Number - 2.73.771.62
Software Version - 1.0.0.A6288
Thanks yusufdaud - Seems like 3 UK ship the Hero with the latest version of the firmware
Unlock
Anyone know anyway to unlock 3's Hero? I called Three yesterday night and they told me I couldn't get a code from then until the contract finishes.
yusufdaud:
when some calls you on Skype, does it show the contact who is calling?
i bought my Hero before it was released on 3 and downloaded the official Skype client via Planet 3 but mine always says "Skype Service" instead of the person who is calling. a guy in the Richmond shop told me if i had bought the handset from 3 it would work properly. sounds like nonsense to me.
I have unbranded Hero from yesterday and before that an unlocked orange branded. Both worked very well with Skype on 3. Including caller ID.
Is it related to radio rom? You can update radio easily on rooted one but not sure about "virgin" Hero.
I actually updated the radio before Skype on 3 was released. My radio version is 63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08 - I just tried updating it to 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22 and had some interesting results. Now Skype won't work at all - i get a message saying "Skype couldn't connect over your phone connection." (tried uninstalling and re-installing too but that made no difference.)
However, it's the first time i've ever seen all four bars on my signal so that at least is a slight improvement.
Don't know why it wasn't connecting before but it is now. However, it's still not showing the caller.
@Lord Lucan
Can you tell me your Rom and Radio versions please? I tried a 2.73.405.38 rooted ROM (the HTC Generic one) off MoDaCo but still didn't get caller id.
Thanks.
skype on 3 is still in beta testing for HTC hero. both msn live and skype need to be downloaded to the phone from planet 3.
