Any news on a custom upgrade to WM 6.1, for HTC Touch for Bell?
Also, any idea if GPS can be available with this unit/network?

Oh my god, this is great!!! I installed it and it works perfectly! No issues at all
However, I was not yet able to get gps signal but I guess it's just a matter of having the right conditions!
Only thing I have strange is that every time I exit a setting, I always go back to the phone (instead of the today screen). Any idea?

No .. you need to lose the bell rom in order to have gps .. no biggie really, nothing in bell rom that can't be replaced.. Bell will never give this to us.. they want us to buy navigation by the month.. Laugh when you pay your $7 data bill and enjoy using roms from other carriers with the gps...

No I don't think its possible especially after you upgrade the radio to the 3.XX. But just upgrading to WM 6.1 should be fine as I was able to go back to the stock ROM from Bell.

GOld_sprinter: Are you able to use the GPS ? were do you use it? In Montreal it does not find any GPSm should I change anything in my setting?
One more thing, do you have problems with your incoming calls? I am not able to take some calls with this ROM, even if I press on anser, it does not answer...
mletourneau, I live in Calgary and it works beautifully. I don't see why it would not work in Montreal it is based on Satellites, so you should get the same ones that I do. As for the phone call problems I have not experienced anything like that, the only issue I have is that sometimes I have to press the 'send' button twice when dialing out. I wish I could help you fix you problem but I don't have any clue where to start.
Maybe someone here can be of some assistance
Good luck buddy.
Going Back to hold radio... or rom
Hi, Any clue on how to go back to official Bell ROM?
GPS works FIne but since I am not with Sprint, I do not have access to Sprint TV or other software from Sprint Anyways...
Thanks in advance
-
go to www.ppcgeeks.com
download omj's custom bell rom
and that should solve your sprint tv etc. issue
Official bell update was released today. I'm a telus user so I have no input to give you on it but the telus update for some reason directs the telus users to the bell update WHICH doesnt work on our phone (duh)
Anyone who wants to try this and let us know if it has GPS that would be great.
download link here: http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=70&act=sd
Does the Bell update noted above enable reva or gps?? I saw that update awhile ago and never bothered because I figured it had neither.
Just to note, the rom is dated 03.19.08 in the link image.
Think I have to unlock and flash mighty soon
Carrier is Bell by the way.........
Yeah, I don't see anything about WM6.1 or anything else for this update for Bell. Looks like an old download and update to me personally.
The telus update page (when it did show the update rom information, its empty now) said it was Rev A, WM 6.1 and can only assume GPS since it included Telus navigator but that could be AGPS. That said.. because the link on the telus page downloaded the bell rom I sort of assumed that the bell one was the same. In fact I cant believe that Bell would be far behind with an update that would be the same as the telus one. I hope they release this soon. I dont want to put some cooked rom on my phone and void any warranty or anything
Warranty? lol. I never buy a phone on contract... I buy it right out. Do I get warranty..nope. And I have never needed it for anything electronic I own. And ya know what it has never done me wrong. All that money wasted if I did. If you do't know something is wrong with it in the first 30 days. something is wrong with you or how you treat your electronics. If my phone craps out I get a new one. Heck every year I buy a new one. Right now I have the HTC touch. It rocks. It runs smooth and I am using omj's custom bell rom. It runs faster smoother and generates less heat. Love it. Only flaw I don't have Musicstore on it... Bell offers it for the touch. And I loved it.
Your Phone is only as good as it's operator. My phone is my everything and I can do whatever I want on it. Just like a computer.
anyone tried to install the bell update on a telus touch?!?
I did the update ... everything seems to be working, phone, software, but I can't seem to connect to internet ?

Didn't work for me. I upgraded to the radio version above and I still get the "buy" page.
How did you make this work? Simply by upgrading the radio? Please provide more info.
yeah more info, anyone else get this to work?
using the at&t network here in the U.S.
was running the official at&t radio 1.45 when my mobitv went to the ''buy now'' page a few weeks ago, i flashed a few 6.1 roms before going back to schaps 4.30 and still no luck, although i was uninstalling and reinstalling the mobitv unlimited cab throughout, still nothing, even though the xm radio worked all the time. simply upgraded the radio to 1.54 and it just started working again to my surprise
Updated my radio and got mobitv working again through medianet. Not sure if the 3 day trial will reset but heres hoping it does!
so how do u do it jus download the rapidshare link then what?
yeah...i dunno
i upgraded to Dutty Hybrid WM 6.1, and Radio 1.65.14.06. upon reinstalling "Unlimited XM, MobiTV, and MusicID" works, but the trial does not seem to be resetting...even manually. im no sure if Radio 1.54.30.10 will provide any different results. I dont see why it would. Would someone who's tried this please tell us if the reset works with the specified radio.
I've previously upgraded my radio to try this out. As per request, I have tried a manual reset but I am still on "day 2" of the trial. Doesn't look like manual reset works. I'll report back after a full 3 days.
o.k., the mobitv resetter has officially crapped out, even though xm radio has no problems. Looks like at&t is making sure we pay for this as they're pushing hard to advertise it with their new Lg phone. still working on a workaround

After the flash I tried to use live maps....I already *228 (Option 1 & 2), setup phone location on, gps h/w port, program port , baud rate, etc. GPS in live did not work!
I then tried Valhalla GPS thing...Still nothing!
I did a clear storage which formats everything...(let custimizations run this time!) Did the *228, location, h/w port, program port, baud, etc...Tried live maps...nothing........Installed Valhalla....Nothing!!! Nothing Nothing!!
I was successful last week with this by figuring out my phone was on 911 only and gps locked instantly...that phone was cracked and broken and had to be sent back. I know this should work...but I am stumped! Please Help me!
********************************************************
Update!!!
For some reason it works!
It wasn't working at all...I didn't touch it & went to sleep...I woke up & the FRIGGIN' thing works great!
Thanks!
What exactly are you trying to figure out?
I am presuming you are trying to use GPS on your Touch (XV6900)? Do you have a live data connection? If you do not have a data connection, perhaps Verizon has data block on your phone, then aGPS (Valhall CAB) wont work.
By the way, the leaked ROM was from phonenews.com. This was an official Verizon ROM, therefore you dont have to worry about letting customizations run. I am runnig this exact ROM and works great so far. Verizon simply has not made it "official" as of yet. When they do finally put it out there for all of us XV6900 users you can find it on
http://www.pcdphones.com/view_phone_details.aspx?mcode=XV6900&sAct=0&carrierid=null&bID=95
This is not the official rom by far.....everyone has reported the gps does not work and the rom is incredibly sluggish
you are wrong whosdaman.
The ROM is perfectly working, with all the customization, and the GPS works perfectly in google maps or live maps after using the vallalha fix. Been using it since it was posted and just installed manilla2d to replace the cube and it works a treat.
Are you working for verizon?
yup just flashed the verizon unofficial 6.1 rom, so far seems stable and data is fast.
Opera works good also. I havent reinstalled all my apps yet to see if there are any problems there.
Installed vahalla gpsfix, google maps and livesearch get locks on 6-10 satellites in 3-5 seconds in my house!
Installed vznavigator from vzstart.
VZNavigator fails because it checks provisions and verizon hasnt enabled its use yet.

If you check ppcgeeks where everyone has been talking about it, no one on verizon could get it to work straight out of the box
Everyne has reported problems with it, and no I have Sprint....do you have verizon?

It works great , gps locks on google maps and live search in 10-15 seconds
and rom is very fast and stable , data is alot faster with Rev A.
hey UnlockMe what version of manilla2d did you install? I'm interested in installing. Also can it be uninstalled safely to go back to stock?

Well, I can confirm that with this ROM my device is in fact sluggish, and the GPS most certainly does NOT work out-of-the-box (maybe with the exception of VZNavigator), and I didn't have any luck with the Valhalla GPS deal.
I've since gone back to my custom ROM and still can't get GPS working - I suspect because once firmware is written you can't roll it back?

version 20 I think, whatever was the last stable version.
You can't uninstall it without a hard reset though, at least that's what the doc says, didn't try it.
After using manilla for a while now, I think the cube is much more efficient. Not as sleek as manilla, but I lost a lot in productivity by removing the cube and am considering going back.
Hey not sure if this is a question I can ask or not here but can someone point me in the right direction to get this rom. And will I need to re authenticate the phone after flashing?
Valhalla Cab
Can someone please post a copy of the Valhalla cab file. Thanks.
Edit: Nevermind, found one online.
P.S. I'm a little late on this update, but I was able to update my wifes XV6900 w/ the original leaked rom (with customizations) and enable GPS for use w/ GoogleMaps using the Valhalla fix.
I cannot connect to any GPS satellites using any program.
When using the HTC GPS Tool it shows that it can satellites everywhere it will just never fix on any of them.
I have tried several ROMS and this does not seem to be the problem.
It was working when on the OEM ROM and even on several other cooked ROMs I had tried. It stopped working when I switched from EnergyROM w/ 2.5 to the Official European 6.5 ROM. Since that ran so much smoother I thought it would be allright without GPS but now I am really missing this feature.
So i decided to go with a clean 6.5/2.1 ROM and chose the Timor ROM. This still didn't fix my problem. Now i went back to the last working ROM that had GPS and again no luck. So idk if this is a hardware or software problem.
ALSO i tried two different radios, both which had previously worked.
4.45.25.05 and 4.45.25.17
No luck with either.
I WANT MY GPS BACK!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Check out this thread, it seems to work on the Rhodium as well as the Fuze.

Really? wow... .77 is the radio that -- for me -- works best for GPS.
But anyway, the HTC GPS Tool makes any radio work better for GPS.
So, I've had my Touch with Bell for almost 2 years now.... I've been running NFSFAN's 6.1 ROM for as long and I've never really had any problems until about a month ago. I haven't posted it until now, but I thought I'd share.
My internet just suddenly stopped working....it would make the connection just fine, but no data would ever go through....not on Opera, not on email, nothing....
I flashed back to the Official Bell ROM and all was well......flashed back to NFSFAN, no internet.
I then tried NFSFAN's WM6.5 ROM, no internet.....back to Bell, internet.
I haven't tried any other custom ROMS, yet.
Now, here's the kicker....a friend of mine who lives quite far away now (So I haven't had a chance to look at his phone, and he knows not how to flash it) was using the same phone with the same NFSFAN ROM (that I flashed on for him) and 2 days before mine quit, his internet stopped working as well.... Seems rather coincidental...
Has anyone else had this happen? Is it possible Bell found some way of determining that a custom ROM was being used and wanted to stop it? The only rationale for such an action that I can think of is to stop people from using the phone as a modem for free.....(which my friend was doing, and I was not).
So, since then, I've just been using the Bell ROM.....sucks, but I've learned to live with it...
any suggestions?
(and yes, I did call Bell tech support....all he would suggest was to flash it back to the official Bell ROM....which ended up being the correct fix....but seems fishy)
Take a look here, this issue was solved a while ago..............

Thanks for the link.
I actually didn't have to do that fix.....I reflashed to 6.1 and......voila internet works....what a mystery.
I had a similar problem with Xv6900 on verizon I had to change my EPST settings. For future reference if you have verizon they use m.ip default of NAI your phone#@vzw3g.com. That fixed my data.
