Qwest + Mogul = No Update Ever?

[fyrephlie]

Well, it would be my luck that it would happen, I'm trying something new called "exercising restraint" which I'm usually not very good at. I've grabbed the original ROM you posted for "just in case", and maybe I'll have some free time this weekend to read up on how to make the new ROM happen RIGHT.

This is one of those situations where I wish that I had a little more experience, or someone with more experience would post a solid "How to Upgrade w/ Qwest Tutorial".

I also have Qwest service on my Mogul..it seems that because Qwest has it's own OS not everything that works with Sprint works with Qwest. I have tried many GPS hacks and none of them work. It would be nice to be able to access all of Sprint's offerings.. I wonder if any of the tethering hacks work on Qwest also. I checked one and it tells you to do registry hacks but the lines they talk about don't exist where he says to look. Oh well, it would be nice if they made up a thread for strictly Qwest so we can put in things that work and things that don't. Maybe some of the geek experts would be willing to help us <less unfortunate lol> people out. Good luck all and thanks for everything you do to help out.

hey fellas,
its me again. U think u guys got it rough, cricket doesnt even sell moguls, so if i mess up thats it, im out a very expensive phone. and Cricket doesnt support any of the features on the 6800. BUT u guys need to realize that it just takes the right settings and info and u guys will be able to use all the features that the mogul has to offer. I have GPS working excellent, MMS , SMS, and i have EVDO going on even though cricket doesnt offer it in a plan in my area. thats because i got hold of a beta PRL that they r testing for my area. Once u load a custom rom u will be released from the restraints that the stock Qwest rom imposes, I have to go to work but if i get a chance i will right u guys up a tutorial, just post what it is exactly u want to do or achieve alright.
go to go c-ya later

Anything that you're willing to do to help, I would be appreciative.

I would love to try and get a little more out of this phone, and it isn't that I'm not willing to do the work for it, I just find it hard to make time to figure it out.

Qwest Mogul user here too, I've been running the sprint stock rom on qwest and everything works fine.. but I too am VERY upset with the service I've been getting from them, if my phone service weren't free (and I mean if I had to pay 10$ a month) I would cancel it and get on SERO.. They've really gone down hill with their customer service as of late I cant even get them to send me a replacement after they sent me my fifteenth refurb phone.. I'm tired of them.. but I'm sitting with a phone with a broken scroll wheel because they wouldnt send me a new one.. and they are NEVER going to release us an update..

I tried to email HTC about it, I've done it 3 times, but they havent returned any of them, and as already stated, nobody at qwest has ANY idea whats going on. I thought I was the only one unhappy.

Why not install the sprint rom? What does the Qwest rom have that you need? I ran the altell rom for a while when the sprint release was too buggy, and I would also like to point out that Qwest simply rebrands and resells sprint service, so it would only be natural...

I'm under the assumption that you cannot run the Sprint ROM on a Qwest Mogul.. I guess I've read wrong?

My Qwest Mogul will be here tomorrow and I hope to gain GPS access so I can run TomTom software without an external antenna... since Qwest hasn't run the update to enable gpsOne in the Mogul, and Sprint has, using the Sprint ROM would be ideal for me, unless it reduces functionality within other sections of the phone.

Can someone verify whether or not the Sprint ROM will work on a Qwest Mogul? ..if no, then how could I go about unlocking the ability to use the internal GPS chip for TomTom Navigator?

If you get your Qwest mogul running a ROM with GPS enabled and a bluetooth fixed, please post detailed instructions and RUU you used so we can hopefully get it up and running as well. I don't know about others, but I would definitely be willing to donate for the information.

I think these other carriers think that if you were sophisticated enough, and enough of an 'advanced user' to figure out how to install or know of software updates, then you belong to communities like these where they take one carrier's updates and hack it for everyone else.

But really, Sprint must order these software updates from HTC at a price, and maybe these other carriers arent willing to pay it for the extremely small demographic of their customers.

What's wrong with the bluetooth on your Mogul? I haven't gotten mine yet, so it'd be nice to know what issues others are having with it, so I can keep an eye out for them..

It's my understanding, though, that you can run TomTom Navigator 5/6, and other GPS software, on the Mogul using a bluetooth GPS receiver/antenna, maybe this is an option if all else fails? It's what I'll be doing if I can't get the internal GPS chip recognized by TomTom Navigator 6.
