Hi all,
I got my HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) from Egypt but as always the device has not GPS support or I think the GPS is disabled from the ROM.
Can anyone confirm that? I mean if I downloaded and flashed to another cooked ROM will the GPS wake up.
I can provide my own original ROM if that may help.
Thanks and Best Regards to the XDA-Developers.

Are all devices sold in Egypt GPS disabled?
How did you test that the device has a disabled GPS chip? Please clarify.
To give you an example, today my GPS wasn't working (as usual). Soft reset and it came back to life. I have an unbranded HTC Touch Diamond Pro. So to repeat my question, what made you think/convinced your GPS chip is disabled?

I can't test it as I have nothing mentioning GPS. i.e. I don't have any settings or anything in the device mentioning it has a GPS.
But even when I installed GoogleMaps and tried to read GPS data it captured 0 satellites.
And yes all the Raphael devices sold by the official retailers have GPS disabled.

Hmm, the GPS chip doesnt work instantly you have to leave it for some time to get an initial fix.
So Egypt has an embargo on GPS then?

Isn't there any software or tool to make sure that the GPS is enabled in the ROM, so if it will be taking sometime to lock I will be patient and wait .
I've been to Egypt once, and my N95 with GPS didn't work very well either.
You could try to use a cooked rom, RomeOS has GPS support, maybe it works...
Just updating the ROM will not work I think. The GPS is part of the Radio. And if you want to update your Radio you need security unlocker which you can find at the top of this sub-forum. After disabling security, you could try a Radio update. You can find the latest on the Wiki page. Will take you € 15,- to figure out if it will work.

No you only need HardSPL to update the Radios on the raphael, should you wish to flash a diamond radio then that is when you need security unlock.
I would suggest flashing the stock radio first (1.02.25.19) to see if the GPS is just disabled in the radio stack. It MIGHT just be a disabled driver in the ROM in which case a rom flash would re-enable it.
Listen Carefully

Dear microfox, I got my device from jovitronix in Egypt and yes the gps is by default disabled in that rom and no software will make it usable, trust me, I think the version was 1.90.865.3 with radio 1.02.25.19. And yes if you use any of the existing Roms (original or cooked) here on the forum you will have a workable gps again. but Please micro, for God's sake, please make a rom dump first and do not do my mistake. If anything happens and you try to go to the agent even with any original rom other than the am one you will be out of warranty. So make a dump as per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507 and post the rom on the forum.
p.s. try RomeOs 13, it's one of the best out there waiting for the Elite Rom
My Radio version is 1.02.25.19 as far as I see it's the same version supplied everywhere. (Correct me if I am wrong).
But the strange is the ROM version it's 1.90.485.3 WWE which I can't find anywhere else.
So I am expecting that the whole thing is implemented in the ROM not in the Radio.
Also I need your support about some point. If I am flashing a ROMeOS I need a HardSPL so do I need to secuity unlock also.
Appreciate your support.
There's no problem in hardspl as you can find the unlocked one and the original one as well in the wiki site. I already unlocked mine and kept the original hardspl just in case I need warranty. And you are absolutely right, you won't find that rom anywhere else as the damn embargo is only on our beloved Egypt. How can I help you in the rom dump procedure?

Using any GPS enabled device in Egypt is illegal
I have a friend whose company is in GPS business and a week ago he has returned from a meeting with some govermnent officials and 2 companies who provide some services for military and government. He said that using any GPS navigation in Egypt as of now is illegal and punishable by law. However it seems that this ban should be over within maybe 6 months. I know this info is not gonna help much, just for you all to understand the legal side of the problem.
some more info on that...

HTC Deceiving the egyptian customers
I regret that i did not read the forum before buying the touchpro from egypt even that i use it as my first refrence many years now and usualy i buy my PDA from emarites,this time i said my not to turst the local dealer even is more expensive and canceled my order from dubai one day before is done.
I accept that GPS is not legal (even that hundreds or thousands of egyptians entered their devices from abroad and using it without any problem..i accept and respect any regulatory restrictions) but there is a big "Fouling" and "deceiving" from HTC to the egyptian customers which i can not accept : which is to not mention the information and print it at the box as they not only disable the GPS but even disable the Hard Rest (if anyone broke it pls tell me because : vol down+enter+reset not working with me).
leave the customer to buy with satisfaction and be totally informed and not to be decived, you buy a business hit-ech device which is created to satisfy a business man who is traveling to europe & usa not a localy user only (and there you will need the navigation sys).
Pls pls pls, i need help and step by step how to bypass this deciving by enable the GPS through a stable ROM noting that there is a problem with the hard reset with me.
Thanks for reading my post and pls spread that info all over egypt that HTC is coming to deceive the egyptian customer just go and buy from emirates as they respect their customers.

If anyone has this, PLEASE let me know. I can't seem to find it and have to downgrade from the rom image posted this morning. I can provide space for you to upload it. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon.
is it what are you looking for?
ruu113sku1.zip
No, i'm looking for the upgrade that, until yesterday, was at clubimate. The update that they posted today broke Ostia on my device, and I need to downgrade to get it back.
i think that i have it as well... have to check my another HD
where you want me to post it for you if I will find it?
See the private message I'll be sending you in a moment. Thanks!
Can you also send me a link to the ROM as well? I also upgraded to 1.66.00, but my GPS no longer works.
Trent
It is currently loading to your FTP
TO TRSC
I do not have a space on my FTP to send you a link... you should ask for it from dadarkmcse...
I am planning to upgrade to 1.66 within next 15-20 minutes... If you are looking to donwgrade - is it mean it is so bad or something just not working for you specifically?
Paul
Once its uploaded, it will be at http://bugjr.com/xda/ for as long as needed. The reason I'm downgrading is:
1. Pharos Ostia is closing when I try to use my SD GPS - I believe its fighting with the serial bluetooth for Com 4.
2. My GPRS hasn't worked all day, but I think this may be another issue as I've tried other ROMs.
Jon.
OK.. it is completed...
Did I understood correctly? you have Secure Digital GPS? I was thinking to buy it... still cannot make a decision
Is it good? Where did you buy it and with what kind of maps it is coming with?
I have one (and an extra i'm selling on ebay right now for $200 - see http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&category=64371&sspagename=STRK:MESSE:IT&rd=1 I see you're in canada, and I'd ship up there eventhough my listing says US only, if you're interested.). I have used it with Pharos's Ostia program and, as long as you have a clear view of the sky, it works nicely. In cars it needs to be as far forward on the windshield as possible to maintain a lock, but walking around outside it can maintain a lock just fine. I purchased mine for about $244 from Harmony Computers, and it took 3 weeks to ship (it was really annoying, resulting in me making numerous calls) so make sure they have it in stock and ready to ship whereever you buy.
THank you
let me see what is it and read reviews specifically on this model...
Get back to you in case will deside to buy it...
One thing for sure - i am planning to use ONLY in the car - i do not need it otherwise...
Thanks Jon, you have saved the day. :lol:
Let this be a warning to anyone with a bluetooth GPS...
Don't go near 1.66.00WWE until proper bluetooth serial support is introduced...
As I replied to carrierdevices:
When clubimate.com post new versions on the ROM (1.66.00WWE) on their web site, could they:
1. Make sure that the previous version is still available (and listed)
2. Tell people (who may own NAVMAN GPS devices) that the Bluetooth serial support is still not perfect, and maybe they should not consider upgrading until the full serial bluetooth stack is delivered, that allows you to choose a COM port to which a bluetooth device is paired - just like Pocket Bluetooth Tools 1012.

GPS and 1.66.00WWE
THANK YOU ALL for posting the 1.52 ROM "update". I just purchased my iMATE and it came shipped with 1.66.00WWE and radio version 1.10. I purchased (the next day), a Royaltek BlueGPS receiver based on rav reviews, only to find out that I could bond to the iMATE, but couldn't get it to handshake with the iMATE (no blue light on the GPS, no software recognition of the device).
I then researched, and found all over the web, that 1.66.00WWE doesn't work with GPS, and that the Pocket Bluetooth Tools app that Tobias put out still doesn't help.
Then I found out that this will work with 1.52 and the above app. Problem was, until I found this forum with the link, I couldn't find 1.52 ANYWHERE!
THANK YOU ALL! Now, if anyone wants to... can you tell me what I'm going to "lose" by going to 1.52 (ie, what did 1.66 supposedly fix/improve?).
-Kevin.
I spoke too soon
Well, I just d/l'd and tried to install the 1.52 "downgrade" on my iMATE.
It got to the point of "Erasing ROM", sat there for a few minutes, and then aborted out... the screen flashed so fast, I couldn't see what it said. Then, when I tried to rerun it, I got:
"ERROR 100: MODEL ID ERROR 8-N-PH-PH-PH
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your pocketpc. Please check the vendor website and download the correct rom update."
Scared the crap outta me... fortunately, I was able to use the 1.66 upgrade to restore back to 1.66.
Did any of you have this problem?
-Kevin.
I already saw this kind of messages on forum. It was said that 1.66 is not downgradable.... i am not sure if it is true, since I downgraded from I-Mate 1.66 to O2 1.60

The screen alignment issue is a hardware fault, about this problem this is the email that I have received by htc europe:
Good Afternoon,
There are now procedures in place for fixing the Screen alignment issue with the TyTN devices. This is a hardware issue that we have identified and we are offering a replacement to owners of affected devices with two conditions.
1: The device must be returned with all accompanying accessories.
Everything that was in the box when you bought the device must be in the box when you return it.
2: The device must be a Genuine HTC Badged device. This means that the device cannot be a Vodafone v1605, an O2 XDA Trion, a T-Mobile Vario II or any other device based on the TyTN, but that is not actually a TyTN. For these devices, you must contact the Network/Reseller for further advice on this issue.
If you meet these two provisions, you may contact your nearest repair centre to arrange the swap. Please place everything back into the original box and arrange to have the device picked up. It will then be tested to confirm that it has the problem, and then it will be swapped for a replacement unit.
If you are unable to return everything, you will be eligible for a repair under the warranty. For this also, you can contact your nearest repair centre to arrange this.
I must note that this email is a standard answer. Other people have received the same email.

You can find it only in o2 german
It is possible create a MUI for this Rom?
OK i am again disappointed from this O2 sh*t realease.
The GPRS/UMTS Radio disconnects itself and i have to hard resed my device again. Now i know why i moved away from the O2 ROM. I flashed my device back to the updated O2 ROM in hope the issue was only a temporary problem and will be fixed in the new update but its not.
I am considering to replace my device. With this problem i cant live for much longer time.
Overall i am a lot more unsatisfied with the TRION. The Wizard from Cingular didnt had those major issues and performed very well. It doesnt matter if the TRION has a 400 Mhz CPU inside compared to the Wizard it works more worse and I am going back to use my Wizard until O2 has a stable release of the TRION ROM. :evil:

I'm a newbie here and considering the purchase of a used x7500 with WM6.0. The current owner has a problem with the bluetooth not functioning. I'm wondering if this might be a common problem with 6.0 and if the new cooked 6.1 (4 – if that’s the latest rom version) might solve such an issue? Also, would you mind directing me to the page that has the most popular /cleanest 6.1 rom? I’m tearing my hair out trying to figure out which is the safest one to use.
Kind regards,
Peter (Bamse1)
no need for 2 threads mate
Okay, but I didn't intend this as the same thread as the other one (see "Cleanest/Most Popular 6.1 rom as of 2DEC08??"). I just carelessly pasted some of the same intro text, but there is a difference. My focus on this thread concerns the BT issue. I will take the liberty to paste a private message reply quote from Brau0303 which helps answer the original question:
... As for the BT issue this could be a junk rom, a bad radio version (software & fixable) a hardware failure or something the current owner simply screwed up because they did not follow instructions and may or may not be fixable.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Bottom-line: Apparently no clear connection between faulty BT and a bad ROM. In the meantime, the HTC service vendor Anovo Nordic AB in Sweden has agreed to fix it free of charge as long as there is not visible damage (there is not) and it is under the 2-year HTC warranty (which it is). It is not clear what their views are on cooked ROMs, but probably not favorable. Fortunately it has not been flashed and has the stock HTC WM 6.0 - which is good news in this case.
Let me add a reply by Lakeman too:
I personally have never had a bluetooth problem and it is not a common problem... I would hope flashing another rom would fix your bluetooth problem, but some of these phones are getting old (18 mths) so there is the possibility of a hardware issue sometimes it would pay to reflash the radio as they can get corrupted as well just make sure you kmow which spl you have and flash the right one

I had a lot of bluetooth problems with the stock WM 6 rom. Most of these problems are gone with Michy v5 rom. But my brand new S740 is better still.
Thanks ralf_pp, but this thread is under the Athena X7500 advantage not the Rose S740, unless you're suggesting that Michy v5 also works with the X7500?? Do you mind clarifying?

I think he was talking about Michy's 5.0 or 5.1 ROM, which are two ROMs for Athena. And then he was probably bragging that his Rose has better bluetooth quality than Athena.
not sure what is on 7500 or 6.0 rom
but on factory original 7510 with 6.1 bluetooth works perfectl for stereo music and phone calls automatically.
it auto plays back, and cuts off as necessary to handle both.
remote control keys (AD2P) works perfectly.
voice dialing command key
phone feature key (press hold to dial last number)
press to mute, etc, etc....
Hi all,

I have been using the HD2 from the last 5-6mts. However, recently noticed that the problem with not getting enough network on my cell phone, calls dropping, sms giving a problem. If I get the phone inside my apartment, get very less network, unlike other handsets where using the same SIM, I get excellent reception! I don't know if any upgrade is required or not.. below are the phone details.. I really don't want to give up on this beauty, I love it except for this...

I trying to upgrade the ROM on the HTC India as well as UK site but keeps telling me the s/n number does not permit this upgrade!
Totally confused and don't have a techie mind here to apply ..so ne step by step help would be gr8.
Also read a few posts of people upgrading the HD2 to Android... Any specific benefits in doing so ? My battery life, call drops (no network) are quiet a pain with the above versions that I am using...
Cheers and thanks again to all for your help... please keep writing in with your suggestions / feedbacks..

Your Phone is Vodafone HD2 Sir
Go to here and download with your S/N
the new LEO-S Vodafone UK 3.14 Stock ROM
see you, in Artemis ROM thread...
hi there..
Thanks for being the 1st to reply spot on...I have a few questions though (pardon my ignorance on this and please be patient)
- The version i currently have is 1.66 whereas on the link which is for Vodaphone it is 3.14... is it ok to str8 jump to this version or are there any other versions I need to first update and then go to the latest one ? BTW I use a separate service provider in India (and not vodafone).
- I have Microsoft My Phone on the phone which I have loaded all the contacts/sms etc on. After the download is over, am assuming I will have to reload all the contacts/sms again ?
- I am downloading the ROM upgrade file on the desktop (use Vista) without attaching the phone with the USB cable. Am assuming to run the .exe file I will need to attach the phone to laptop and then run the file ?
- Will the Radio versions get upgraded too ? As I think the calls dropping due to network issues is to do with the Radio versions...
Kindly revert when convenient, the download is ongoing on my laptop as I write this message...
Cheers and thank you again for your help.
Greetings from India
to each question above.
correct
correct

no, you can't change radio on 3.14 roms because there is no hspl for it yet.
hi there,
Thanks for your kind revert.
Does that mean the call dropping thing will not improve with the new ROM... the Radio version shows 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14 where as the version I am on is 2.06.51.07. Hope this Radio upgrade along with the ROM upgrade helps cause the call drops are quiet unprofessional especially when someone calls from work... and I don't seem to face this problem on other handsets which are less than a fraction of a cost to the HD2...
yea going from 2.06.51 to 2.15.50 should certainly see improvement.
Hi samsamuel,
i have bad news for you. After two or three months of use, my HD2 started to drop Data, SMS couldn't be delievered sucessfully and I wasn't able to do any phone calls in certain areas. I send it for rma an got an new one after 3 weeks.
hope this helps
Hi there,
I just did a ROM upgrade... Thank you all in here...
Some more questions on it...
- I get the vodafone logo on the start up... hope that shouldnt create a problem with settings with my own service provider as I do not use vodafone...
- While sending SMS, it quickly shows sending failed. After a 2nd retry, the message goes thru successfully... ne reason why ?
- My WAP/GPRS settings are obviously gone and my service provider will call 2mrw to load it back again...only then will i be able to sync by address book from Microsoft My Phone
Kindly advise/comment on the above when you guys can...
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers!

lol, not bad news for me, i hate the 2.15.50 radio, its rubbish. i was being general, and the Op should see an improvement by moving up a few radio versions.

thats the 'splashscreen', its just a picture, you can change it just like flashing roms.

shouldnt need to wait for them to do anything
settings - menu - all settings - connections - connection setup.
Im surprised it didn't run automatically when the phone restarted.
hi Samsamuel,
Thanks, as always for your help.
- How does one change that vodafone logo showing up on start up or on shutdown ?
- I too was surprised as to how the wap/gprs settings didnt come on automatically... finally after around 14hrs of logging a complaint, waiting for 2hrs on the phone (literally over several calls) and visiting the service providers store, the WAP/GPRS settings were provided and I could get my contact list reloaded again...Now you know the level of service that we get.
- Any other recommendations on any applications / upgrades on the phone would be appreciated...Do you recommend I change the radio version as the current one that i have with this upgrade is 2.15 and didn't notice much difference in the connectivity area (which is my main problem really) though have used it only for a day as yet.
Cheers!
see the 'splashscreen watermark' link in my sig for the technicals of flashing splashscreens.
for recommendations, i rarely offer recommendations, except cookies home tab
i didnt like 2.15 radio, but its very VERY much trial and error, , no two people agree on radio performance. for me 2.10.50 and 2.11.50 work best.
