I'm installing the latest firmware now, posted by someone on Buzz. I'll let you know - I should have a good first test of BT within 1 hour -

It works
 

I didn't install the Sprint junk, but as you can see (once I post screenshots) it is an update. So happy I spent the last 2 hours setting up my new phone just the way I like it......

Ok, I'll admit, I'm a noob .... Exactly how do I install this thing?

Anyone notice any differences?? Anyone have any idea as to what is "fixed" here?

download it and run it riviera

Hows the ram issue??? Is it still eatting it like a fat kid and cake????

lol, just synch your phone to the pc and rune the EXE. Fairly simple. I'm gonna wait on you guys to OK this before I run it though. :p

Says it fixes BT issues and alarm wake up on charging.

Update:

NOW the official HTC page shows the new ROM 2.16...guess that sprint employee was right after all!

btw, what's the trick to not installing the Sprint optional stuff and, if I do that, what do I lose again and how do I add it later if I want it back? I might do that this time to save some space.

Just put it in. Nice boot up screens.. Got to setup everthing. BTW my computer has Vista...

Downside is I just got the phone so I have nothing to compare it to, except my old 6700 ;)

Trick to not installing sprint stuff is soft reset when it says "3 seconds installing software" after a hard reset.

Just download the file then follow the instruction, there's also a readme that's packaged with the install file. Make sure you back up the data you want, installing new rom is like doing a hard reset on your phone.

So it took Sprint/HTC 1.5 month to release a rom that was built in 09/03/07? *sigh* Thanks for those who helped by being the guinea pig :D

New thread everyone!

Easier to find info about the ROM and installation without having to go through 5 pages of us waiting for it ;)
