HTC issues Touch Pro security update
 
1 Attachment(s)
HTC has issued a security update for the Touch Pro.. It fixes an issue with WAP security.. Go here for more info or go here for word from HTC about it...

DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL UNLESS YOU HAVE GSM!

As quoted from an Admin from the site I found this at..

GSM only I assume, with the CDMA phones probably getting any fix needed from their carrier.

IE7 gives me that type of error on my pc quite a bit for legit sites.

Would this update completely block those sites from being accessed on the TP? I'm not going to install it if that's the case.

I am not sure.. However.. I believe this is for when you are using Wi-Fi and not the Cellular connection... This fix I believe is to help reduce the amount of phishing that might be happening...

You need to use Active Sync to get the file onto your Touch Pro.. It is an .exe file..

I saw this earlier today and didn't think much of it. Is this something everyone should do?

Like someone else just said... if it's an exe file you probably have to run it on your PC while connected via AS.

I thought the HTC instructions said to put the .exe file onto your phone and then execute it from the phone.

That being said, I transferred the file to my phone, but I haven't installed it yet...kind of waiting on some others to do it to see if it makes things better or not!! I got my TP working pretty sweet now and I'm hesitant to do anything to it that might screw it up!

Yeah.. If you use WAP you probably should..

I believe this is a universal fix for all HTC Touch Pro's..

I don't think this will screw anything up.. But it's always good to wait for others to test it out.. Nothing wrong with that..

Try putting it onto the device... There has been no mention of this being a GSM only or a CDMA only fix.. From all indications.. It is an Universal issue for all HTC Touch Pro's...

Still No Go

Re: HTC issues Touch Pro security update
 
Weird.. I posted a comment on the site where I found the security update asking if this was GSM or CDMA only.. As soon as I get the answer, I will let you all know...

It's an .exe program. I inserted it directly into my windows directory. There shouldn't be a need to run it, should there?

I'm getting all of the same errors on mine. Won't run on laptop and then sync. Says "not a valid win32 app" or something similar.

Transferred the file to the phone and it says to run the program from the correct device.

I moved it to Main Storage from the Storage Card and tried again and got the same thing.

What will moving it to the main Windows folder do? Shouldn't the fix be "installed" or the program "executed" or something like that?

In order to run it from the storage card, or anywhere else it would have to be a cab file. When that's done it places the exe file in the correct directory. Since it's already an exe file it should work just placing it in windows directory

As a somewhat side note, for poor slobs like me who never got AS to work properly these .exe patches are thing of dread. Anyway, I'm leaving this one be.

What is wrong with your Active Sync?

Nagual 12-04-2008 05:16 PM

Re: HTC issues Touch Pro security update
 
It installed fine but never connected the TP properly with the computer. It found the device in Windows XP, but then wouldn't do anything.

I ran the programs "diagnostics" which seemed useless and the only thing it said was something about Outlook not being installed (which it isn't, I hate that program and think it's retarded of MS if they require it be installed to have AS work).

So, either I need to make some adjustment to the TP (maybe in ActiveSync app on the phone?)/my computer/the XP program or just forget it I guess.
