Mogul Update - ROM "Speculation" & Discussion Thread Part II
 

Ok I know how many threads have come and gone about this. I do work for sprint I am Tier 2 support. We just recieved literally a minute ago stating that 3.35.651.2 with a ROM date of 2/22/08 will be released 03/10. I have coppied as much as I can from the email regarding this. Please dont flame im not trying to stir anything up.



A maintenance release for the Mogul (PPC 6800) will be available on 3/10/08 from HTCs site. The new ROM version is 3.35.651.2 with a ROM date of 2/22/08.
It provides several key updates:
Added GPS Support
Added Sprint Navigation Application
Added Qualcomm EVDO RevA upgrade
Added Task Manager to Today Screen
It is recommended that all users update their ROM to take advantage of these enhancements. Users must back-up any data added to their device before updating the software. Instructions and the software download are posted at http://www.america.htc.com/mogulupdate
Customers must download the software upgrade application (RUU) to a PC, and then install it to their Mogul by connecting the Mogul to their PC using the USB cable provided in the box. The application will not run on MAC machines, and cannot be downloaded over the air.
Before running the ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU), customers must make sure they do the following first::
Tip: If you are having challenges connecting with ActiveSync, please try: Start > Settings > Connection Tab > USB to PC > Deselect Enable advanced network functionality.
The standby and hibernation modes are disabled on the computer.
All running applications on the computer have been closed.
Ensure that you device has a battery level of at least 50% (Start > Settings > System Tab > Power > Battery Tab). If the battery "dies" during the upgrade process, there is a chance that it will not recover and will need to be sent for repairs.
The update can take up to 25 minutes so set aside time when you will not be interrupted.
All data will be deleted from the device during the upgrade (music, pictures, 3rd party applications, etc); be sure to back up all of your data using ActiveSync prior to upgrading.
Do not interrupt the upgrade process or press any buttons until the process has been completed (the device will reset itself when the update is done).
General Procedure on Installing the ROM Update
Back up your personal data from the Mobile Device to your computer using ActiveSync if you want to ensure you don't lose any of your data. For more information on how to back up and restore your data, click here.
On your computer, run the ROM Update Utility (RUU) to install the ROM update to your Mobile Device. (The next section provides a detailed procedure on how to install the ROM Update).
Restore your personal data back to your Mobile Device using ActiveSync. (Optional)
WARNING: During the upgrade process, do not attempt to make/receive calls, press any buttons on your device or disconnect the device from the USB cable as this will stop the update and your device will be rendered inoperable!!!
The upgrade process takes up to 25 minutes. It is recommended that you close all programs on your PC prior to starting the update program and do not open any applications or files while the update is in process. All personal data stored on the device will be lost. Make sure you save all pictures, videos, and important files to your PC prior to performing the update process.

Re: Mogul Update
 

any word about the htc touch and gps?

Re: Mogul Update
 

let me just say thanks and i think this is legit date its about time!!!

Re: Mogul Update
 

Man, that looks like one sweet upgrade for you guys! Hope it doesn't get delayed, like all the other ones :)

Re: Mogul Update
 

Like I said our managment literally just sent this out this evening. I havent seen the info anywhere else. And the way our managment team here is...........If we get told then it is happening. There too gun shy to send this to the entire Tier 2 dept without it being confirmed.

Re: Mogul Update
 

Thanks.

But March 10 is a Monday. I'd be thrilled if they could release the upgrade on tomorrow Friday so we have two full days on the weekend to play with it.

Re: Mogul Update
 

Wow, that's crazy, I just got off the phone with a guy from tier 2 tech support, He sounded like he didn't know a damb thing, he said he didnt know when it was coming out and that he had never heard about GPS being enabled on it... Anyways, Thanks Mizono for the reassurance taht this update is in fact coming out!

Re: Mogul Update
 

no2chem, I will expect WM 6.1 to be integrated with this rom within 24 hours of its release. Chop chop!!!! LOL.

Re: Mogul Update
 

Any word on whether this will be a newer radio than 3.27, and whether it will be WM 6.1 or better?

Re: Mogul Update
 

HTC usually releases on a Monday

Re: Mogul Update
 

I second that!, J/K, Im sure that he will be out with something with in the week of the release.

Re: Mogul Update
 

i know it wont be 6.1

Re: Mogul Update
 

I'm so excited!!!
It feels like an eternity since I downgraded last. ;-)

Well, the radio anyway.

Re: Mogul Update
 

No idea if the radio will be differant than 3.27 or if it will be 6.1. All the info I have is in my original post. I copied the email and pasted so what ive got you all have now. I just had to share this with my fellow ppcgeeks.

Re: Mogul Update
 

I wonder how improved it will be over the test rom... I haven't noticed any important change from 6.0 to 6.1 other than threaded SMS, which is slower than the Palm threaded SMS.

Re: Mogul Update
 

well the build version is obviously higher so I am hoping there were some tweaks to help improve it further. We shall see on Monday.

Re: Mogul Update
 

this is great. i was just about ready to take the plunge on the beta. now just to wait few more days...

Re: Mogul Update
 

Hopefully we will see in 4 days.

Re: Mogul Update
 

Nice! Its about time.

Re: Mogul Update
 

:evil4:
LOL, maybe I should hold my breath for "that one". I did say I was anticipating this very combo.

Re: Mogul Update
 

Thanks for posting the email you received.

Re: Mogul Update
 

thanks for the info you da man cant wait gps yes!

Re: Mogul Update
 

sure would be nice if they snuck the sprint tv in there thats waht ive been waiting for lol oh well ill take what i can get lol

Re: Mogul Update
 

minozo
any word on when the touch update will come out?

Re: Mogul Update
 

Moekind..........no unfortunalty nothing on that device. I was in the same boat with the early release like everyone else. Like I said earlier we only just now got the email about the mogul.

Re: Mogul Update
 

yeah i work for sprint too, just left a meeting with HTC, and can comfurm that the rom will come out 9:00 am eastern time. The touch will recieve the GPS update within 2 months

Re: Mogul Update
 

Oh yeah, and Sprint Tv was going to be part of the Monday update, but for some reason was pushed back again.

Re: Mogul Update
 

:-( That sucks I was really hoping for sprint tv.

Re: Mogul Update
 

Off of the specific info you noted such as the build version, and rom date of 2/22/08 i want to believe you! noone else has given such specific details as of yet. i take this as a good sign that you're credible on this. but if that build number is off even one decimal, or the 10th rolls around and no rom appears.... i'm coming for YOU.... and i'm bring a few geeks with me, ya digg?!?:protest:


(having Mr T in my avatar is having strange effects on me.... sorry)

Re: Mogul Update
 

yeah, i wanted sprint tv also.

Re: Mogul Update
 

is picturemail included or maybe in the future for the mogul

Re: Mogul Update
 

Maybe there will be a huge surprise and we will get sprint tv also. Either that or someone will find a way that works for it to be put on the mogul.

Re: Mogul Update
 

LOL I dont blame you for wanting to come after me. However I posted what I was sent. So no shooting the messenger. But like I said our managment sending this out shows its coming.

Re: Mogul Update
 

sorry l33tlinux, but like i said, Sprint TV will NOT be in this update, and Ricchini MMS support right now for ANY windows mobile phone is not supported. Sprint has blocked the loopholes that had been there to do it, and as of right now A windows mobile insider told us that they have no current plans to develop software support for it, so we are all stuck sending to @messaging.sprintpcs.com

Re: Mogul Update
 

Nice to hear SprintTV may have only been pushed back. Good to know it's coming eventually.

To be fair, I never used it when we had it, but would be nice to have access to it when I do want it.

Re: Mogul Update
 

Since I'm paying for Simply Everything now it'd be nice to be able to use everything but I'll take what I can get...

Re: Mogul Update
 

What I would like to know is why Sprint MMS has been removed/ never added to the Windows Mobile Platform. I'm pretty sure its not a billing issue. I was with T-Mo for 6 years and used the XDA, Ipaq 6315 and Wizard(MDA) on their network and all phones fully supported MMS.

I'm not upset I'd just like to hear a logical reason WHY?

Re: Mogul Update
 

Good point. I just read the fine print and no where on the promo does it say Picture mail/ sprint tv and radio are not supported on Windows Mobile devices like the Mogul

Re: Mogul Update
 

but if they unlock gps will it only work with theyre program so you have to pay for it, or is it one of those "work around" things. I really like google maps. but at the same time I dont want to have to pay for it. i know i'm not alone on this. By the way just a question but is there going to be a kitchen like Helmi's. it was the best and easiest i ever used. thanks

Re: Mogul Update
 

good info... looks like a good month - apple released a free iphone/touch sdk and htc/sprint finally got this turd pushed out... yay!
