After flashing, mine will not connect to the internet. I just did a hard reset and am seeing if that fixes it. I fear some incompatibility with Telus' network where I live.

someone confirm WM6.1 and Rev A?

Shrink 07-07-2008 09:23 PM

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
It's 6.1 and it has GPS. As for Rev. A., I can't tell because mine won't connect to the internet after flashing.

vetvito 07-07-2008 09:27 PM

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
Search your windows folder for the RevA cab.

If I have the first official alltel rom installed on my telus touch, can I just run this update and it will overwrite the alltel rom and install the telus one?thanks

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
*22803 finally worked for me as well. Thanks!!!

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
Hmm, it seems like a modified RUU as well that takes user input before updating. I have to "Press Any Number Key" before going to the next screen of the RUU. Cool.:)
This was on a Vogue with the Official Sprint Rom on it... but now on one that only had the Alltel Rom, it wasn't required!? Weird.

RevA_6900.arm(noUninstall).cab is the RevA file some people are looking for. You have to press Menu>Show All Files for it to be visible in File Explorer.

"Installing touchflo.xml"... 4th cube side?
ROM INFO (after previously having the Official Sprink Leaked Rom)
Code:

M 03      P DCAAXOM-4350H
B 01      R 3.41.00
          D 3.07
 
Software Version: 3.07.661.1
Firmware Version: 3.41.00
Hardware Version: 0001
PRI Version: 2.05_010

As said above, if your data does not work, dial *ACT03 or *22803, press 1 for English, and then press 1 to program your phone.

If this fails, AND you don't have any data do the following:
  1. Get your SPC using GetSPC and this DLL (copy both to your memory card, then run the program and enter your HEX ESN, then click go. This is your SPC.
  2. Once your phone has rebooted, you will have to press ##778 [Send]
  3. Press Edit
  4. Enter your SPC
  5. Change all of the 000000xxxx@mb.telus to your phone number ie 4161234567@mb.telus as well as the MSID, Mobile Directory Number, Security Settings, and default profile.
Some may also want to look at THIS thread on how to change your SPC to a much more convenient number for the future as well, all you need is QPST.

Flashed this too many times, and can't get a GPS lock. Even tried flashing to a different rom that had stable GPS, but now I got nothing. Anybody having the same problem? or solution suggestions?

tobeychris 07-08-2008 10:47 AM

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
I also cannot get a GPS lock, I tried flashing to my previous ROM that would lock immediately, and it didn't work anymore. I probably has to do with the Radio. I have basically downgraded from 3.42.30 to 3.41.00, maybe this radio isn't as ready for GPS as they thought. (I don't understand how Telus Navigator could possibly work?!)

Shrink 07-08-2008 11:22 AM

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
If I use the trick where I change the data rate to 19200 in External GPS under Settings > System, I can get a GPS lock after that. It would be nice if there was something automated that primed the GPS upon startup.

Shrink 07-08-2008 12:34 PM

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
Just an addendum to the last post. I was able to get a lock using the above method last night but no luck today. :(

No GPS lock for me either.

It looks like streaming media was included as I can watch youtube mobile without installing anything after rom upgrade.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
Hmmm. I now get a very strong signal. I will hard reset and see if I can get the same signal again.

I use TomTom 7 and use the Internal GPS setting with AstroLauncher to prime it.

For TomTom 6 you use Other NMEA device and select COM4, that should be it. (with a gps primer of course)

iamhutch 07-08-2008 02:12 PM

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
Tobeychris - did you do anything different when you booted up? I did the *22803 and programming was succesful, then an instant soft reset. But GPS refuses to lock on.

I tried booting an older custom ROM that used to work, and it think's I'm in either Kazakastan or a a couple of hundred km's off the Western Coast of Africa... I think I'd rather have the GPS say "I don't know" than just making stuff up

I tried this with Garmin XT and unfortunately it didn't work. The weird thing is that simply changing the baud rate in windows settings appeared to prime the gps fine last night. Maybe it only likes certain satellites. LOL!

I downloaded and Installed Telus Navigator, maybe it injected some dlls... ones we don't have in the sprint roms.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
I tried installing navigator too, but I didn't actually sign up for the stupid 30 day trial. I don't need 1 more thing going wrong on my bill.

Did you just install it?

In your opinion, is the official release any better than the custom roms? All I noticed is the mini-menu popup when you tap the signal/battery/EVDO section of the screen. (everything else seems it can be installed seperately)

tobeychris 07-08-2008 03:35 PM

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
That's actually an HTC program that can be installed seperately too. And no, it's not better than any of the custom roms, but it's soon to be an official and non-warranty-voiding update. If we can figure out how to use it to the best of its abilities, it's better for everyone:)

I just installed Telus Navigator in the hopes that this was the case and neither Garmin XT nor Google Maps can get a lock on any satellites (obviously when I am outdoors <g>).

Hey All,

I tossed this on and re programmed my phone and things are working well. My GPS works perfect and I don't need any priming for Tom Tom 6 to work (it's set up with the Other NMEA GPS Receiver selected, COM 4, Baud 4800). I didn't have to touch anything on the GPS settings on the phone.

Google and Windows Live lock on quick as well.

Just a heads up to hard reset after you flash the first time, that may help.

Now if I could just find a .cab for Internet Sharing I'd be laughing (yes I've searched but try searching .cab Internet Sharing and see how many hits you get!)

I tried a hard reset, no gps, installed telus nav, no gps, ran telus nav, it gets a lock, but TomTom won't lock again... this is messed up.

I have an uncomfortable feeling that Telus has tried to prevent reliable use of other GPS software than their own $10/month subscription (that you automatically get enrolled for and have to contact them to un-enroll after the free time period).

... either that or I am just being paranoid. :)

I am sure someone will work this out if it isn't an actual bug in the rom.

Rural Guy 07-08-2008 04:32 PM

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 
I just found something interesting, when I open My Computer while Active Sync is on, then click "Mobile Device" then the phone icon again "My Windows Based-mobile Device" in that directory is a file called PPST58. It's a text file, like a log from the PPST which shows my SPC...this may be an easier way to find it for those of you looking if you run the new ROM.
