So is the new Sprint Mogul ROM out or not?

I was watching pretty close to these boards when the last expected ROM was supposed to come out about a month ago and it didn't happen. I check back from time to time to see. I've been looking around today and a lot of people talk like it has been released but the only one on HTC's site is the same one released in March. Posts like the sticky about the "Official Sprint.." thread just make it more confusing. So my question is has the "newest" one that has been anticipated been release or not?

NO it has NOT been released. The only one is a "leaked" version of which we cant be sure. When we see it on HTCs site then it can be a trusted off. release.

3.56 is the latest official from Sprint... 3.49 was an "official BETA"

So you accuse DCD of lying then? Did you look at the thread? When the official gps rom dropped I couldnt find it on htc or sprints but it was posted everywhere. I have faith when DCD says its the official release!

Just because its an official rom does not mean it isnt leaked. Yes that was a leaked rom. As of yet there is no official release via htc's webpage.

Hey, I just investigated DashWire. Looks really cool. Thanks for the info...in your signature.

No, but you've pretty much accused yourself of being stupid. You need to get your facts straight before flaming someone. When the GPS rom dropped in february, it was a leaked test rom that included the new radio necessary to enable GPS. That rom at the time it was leaked was NO WHERE on HTC's or Sprint's websites for download. Then a few weeks later HTC and Sprint released the official 3.35 ROM, hosted on their very own servers.

For insight into what I'm talking about, take a look at your own post. If HTC and Sprint were going to release an official ROM upgrade for their product, do you really think they'd release it to DCD, and not put it up on their own servers for download, especially for several weeks?? Think about it. Or go do some of that incredible sleuthing that you've touted.

The way you described blindly following DCD's word shows a lot for your character. I'm sure if he were to re-release the original 2.09 as the latest official Sprint ROM as a gag, you'd be all over it with devotion, and *TRYING* to discredit other member's posts.

Official, yes. Leak, yes. Release, no. Not until it's on the HTC web site as a public download. Therefore, even if Jesus Christ himself calls it an "official release", that doesn't necessarily make it so.

That's not to say that 3.56 won't become the official release. Afterall, the 3.35 ROM has a February date stamp on it and was published publicly in March, so 3.56 could very well be in final testing before release. Of course, it could just as easily be a "release candidate" (hence the lack of beta/test labels), and we may just see a newer build in the near future.

(Oh, and yes, I realize I'm going to hell for the blasphemous remark.)

hmmm... (checks his copy of Revelations) Uh, nope. If JC calls it an official release, then in fact it IS an official release.

Otherwise, I agree with you.

PS: It's not blaspheme to be confused over release nomenclature
