Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

Go to the official HTC site and download your 6.1 update. I just checked it out and the downloads there. I'm about to install the rom and see how everything is. I'm not sure if it has gps or not (fingers crossed)

Adds EVDO Rev. A capability for faster download and upload speeds*
Upgrades tfgho Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
Improves overall device functionality and stability
Adds new shortcuts for easy access to TELUS mobile email, TELUS navigator and Pocket Express applications


Edit: Due to a faulty link it would seem they just up and took down all the information pertaining to the rom on the update page.... as opposed to just fixing the link.


Edit by ImCoKeMaN Here is the actual link (from page 5) now that it's out:
http://216.139.227.226/Telus/RUU_Vog...TPatch1.20.exe

Ok so they took that down, i did link it in the stock rom sticky though

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

and it does not have gps, i dont see gps drivers under the OEMDRivers

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

I not working on the sprint toch is give( error 328 invalid command)and this update in connot used on your pda phone check check you update utility

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

yeah definatly bell. Damn it. I'm going to call the support line and call the support line and find out what's going on. Get them to fix the link and maybe email me the rom update.

In regards to GPS. On the altell update I dont see it saying anything about GPS there either but we know that that has gps. I use a bluetooth gps reciever myself but want to be able to use the internal gps antenna

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

So just called the tech support and the number provided on the website isnt in service.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

Brick

Dont attempt to intall the rom if you have GPS radio, the rom comes with a radio.

Its not 6.1, its WM6

CE OS build 18125

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

so the radio that comes with it.... it is or isnt gps capable? How can we tell if its gps capable or not?

Also, you said its not wm 6.1 but it says right on the list of upgrades "Upgrades to Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional" So that to me would mean 6.1 I could be wrong. Since there isnt a telus rom update there I assume it SHOULD be there so we should find out as soon as they fix the link issue.

I emailed customer support since the phone number for canada didnt work and asked what the deal with the link was.... when it would be updated (I know updating a site can take some time) if they could email me the rom directly AND if this rom was GPS capable.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

I broke the rom down, it's WM6

If OS isn't GPS, I highly highly highly doubt the radio is.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

So if this isn't Wm6.1 and it doesnt have GPS what's the point of the update? I thought the whole purpose of WM 6.1 was fixing a bunch of little issues making the phone more stable. I have no idea how to break down the rom, just from what it says on the site (that being that its an upgrade to 6.1) and the Altell update page doesnt say anything about GPS I was hoping at least for something here.

I've been waiting for this telus update for a long long time. I dont want to flash my phone with an unofficial rom and brick the phone and void any warranty or anything haha.

I hope you are wrong about it being wm6... as far as gps goes it does say it has telus navigator but I think that uses AGPS, not too sure though.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

Adds new shortcuts for easy access to TELUS mobile email, TELUS navigator and Pocket Express applications

if the upgrade mentions Telus Navigator wouldn't that mean gps or at leaat a-gps is enabled in this rom since that program needs gps to function.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

Only one way to find out

But none of that is in the rom.

again
Its not 6.1, its WM6

CE OS build 18125

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

What is the difference? Why the update? I'm with Bell and have downloaded and am thinking about updating. Is it not worth it then?

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

well now the update section is empty. The bell update is still up but no telus anymore. I guess it was easier for them to wipe the page clear as opposed to just fixing the link. Bastards

Update: Well now the page is back up... annnnd the wrong rom link is still there. Fantastic!

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

htc people should stop smoking weed... mixing up updates and reporting wrong windows version!

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

I just tried to do the update and it failed with the message:

ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID

This update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility.

So although it was not branded in any way (Bell or Telus) it obviously is not the Telus ROM

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

The rom posted on the telus update page is the bell rom... which isnt Windows 6.1 or rev A etc. I can only assume that since all the information on the page refering to the new rom is correct so when the rom IS put up there it will be rev A, 6.1 and hopefully GPS (Telus Navigator)

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

I was talking to HTC just a couple of minutes ago. Apparently there's an issue with the web site itself and it keeps defaulting to the Bell downloads. The guy I spoke to said that it is now being looked into but confirmed that the update for Telus is there and ready. He said it should be up by Monday most likely.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

I contacted both Telus and HTC Canada and neither one new anything about it and I was told to send an e-mail pointing out the problem to the webmaster as the site is managed by an external company. As it happens I went to the site and looked around and there is not even a Telus directory only Alltel, Bell Mobility and Qwest. There is no ROM on the site for Telus. The Telus tech I spoke to thought there was an upgrade in the pipe but had no information on the delivery date. So I guess we take heart from the fact that the page is there and it is Telus specific and wait for them to get the ROM posted and the link updated. :angry7:

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

I am thuroughly impressed with HTC..... somewhat. I emailed this morning around 2 am I think and I already got an email back. Here's my original email and then their responce.

"I just checked out the software update page for the telus HTC touch and went to download the new rom. The link on the page directs me to the bell mobility rom for their touch so the rom obviously wont work with the telus touch (I did try which is how I found out it was for bell) Is there any way that this can be corrected? I realize that updating a website can take some time so is there anyway you can just email me the rom update directly? ALSO, This is the Rev A and windows 6.1 update, I can see that much however does this activate the gps antenna as well like the Altell rom update that was released for the Touch. Thanks!"

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

I reasked if they could just email me the rom and if the rom activated the gps anetnna as well so we'll see. At least we know its there, errr supposed to be there. Although I'm not sure if that just makes it wore. I went from checking the HTC site every few days to literally hours if not more today haha.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

Well it looks like they fixed the problem the Telus ROM update page is gone! :disgust:

While we are waiting anxiously for the release - does anyone know how to dump the existing ROM in case I am not happy with the upgrade I would like to be able to restore my device to its factory state?

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

It's back up on HTC's site and there is a link to what appears to be the P4000 rom. :(

I just tried it and it is for the P4000. What morons.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

That was short lived the page is gone again!:protest:

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

... and I suspect that will be all that we see for the rest of the weekend. :(

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

Why would you want to install this on your Sprint Touch? :scratch:

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

I was in a telus store in West Edmonton Mall on Friday and one of the service people found a notice that there was an update coming for the Touch in the next 60 days. She says it is going to enable rev a and upgrades to wm 6.1, but no mention of GPS. If you go to a telus store, it is on the vendor site as a notice, not on telus' regular site.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

This is radiculous. Its wed and still no update to the website. Both the telus website and the HTC one. I actually just assumed it would be up monday since really, how hard is it to change a link!

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

Hi all - save yourselves the grief and find an unofficial 6.1 ROM w/ GPS. I made the plunge a couple of days ago. End result: GPS, twice the download speed, no more lockups in sleep mode, and my microSD card corruption has apparently stopped.

A bit early to be 100% sure on that last point, but I've been writing everything to it (attachments, photos, video) and with the stock ROM, it would have corrupted by now.

The phone is finally worth the contract.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

If you want it to look and feel the same as the Telus stock rom, with the added bonus of GPS and a faster base, you can download my telus carrier rom here

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

Do we need to unlock our phones like we would have to if we were flashing one of the roms based on the alltel or sprint roms? Do we also have to update the radio?

Thanks

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

Yes whenever you do a non-offical carrier update you have to unlock your phone first and then update to the gps/rev. a radio. It's easy and unless you have a hardware failure and need to bring it back to telus for warranty repairs there is no problem. I've found that you can fix any software problems by using the search button.

Do we simply follow Mindfrost82's instructions in the first message in this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24925 or is there any other special instructions ? ](*,)

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

What about calls directly going to VM ? Still the same ?

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

I've tried two ROMs - the one posted by ghettofreeryder above, and this one: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=29103&page=5.

Ghettofreeryder's has an issue whereby if the GPS is engaged, calls go directly to voicemail. So while it's a near match for the Telus stock look & feel, it falls short there. I tested it big-time to prove that out after reverting back to my first choice, the RLMCS ROM. Some of the Vista-esque enhancements are ugly in my opinion, but from a stability perspective I have to say it's 100%. Seriously...no more SD corruption, no more lockups in sleep mode, the GPS can be active and incoming calls still come through. Of course, if I'm streaming video or something then it goes to voicemail often...but that's just a limitation of simultaneous voice and data.

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

friend works at telus says the update is coming July 8th

Re: Official Telus HTC Touch Update Released
 

Check It out! I think it is out finally, they have not posted it on the Telus page at HTC yet but this is the address that hosts the Bell ROM and the Telus directory just appeared there tonight.
