I just checked my mogul, I'm running ROM version 2.09.651.3 and it's dated June 14, 2007.

 

Alright, I read the instructions that are on a page linked from here which was posted earlier in the thread...

http://www.america.htc.com/support/m...downloads.html

Guess it looks pretty easy enough. Now just gotta do it and hope for the best.

 

You should be fine, I have done it a couple times. Just make sure to back everything up first that you need. When I updated my ROM, it only took about 5 minutes.

 

When you update the ROM do you lose your text messages? Unfortunately when you sync your computer using ActiveSync it doesn't sync your text messages and I have a lot that I don't want to lose.

 

Yes, you do lose your text messages. I have heard that there are programs out there that will allow you to back up your text messages, but I have never tried it before. When you update your ROM it's brand new, like you first pulled it out the box. Everything has to be redone.

 

Guess I'll wait till this new update comes out. The only thing at the moment that I really want is that damn Rev A upgrade.

I need to look into how to backup the text messages. I've seen it before too, just don't remember where I saw it.

 

Check out this backup program

Thanks man! I tried it out and everything worked like a charm.

I updated to the current ROM that is out just to get an idea of what it would be like.

It took me about a half hour to do the ROM update and re-sync my phone with all my data and restore my text messages.

The only thing that's a pain is that you have to re-establish a connection to ActiveSync so you have to go through the hassle of setting up a port on your phone and all that stuff (I use BlueTooth to sync). It wasn't hard, just tedious.

Thanks a lot for the help. now I can't wait for that Rev A upgrade

 

Just installed the HTC Task Manager App.

Now when I click the "X" button for a program it actually closes the damn program.

 

Black theme for HTC

LOL, looks like you are having a lot of fun

 

I hope Verizon releases the update too, but I doubt it...

Here is another good program to put on your Mogul!

It will show your battery strength in 1% increments instead of 10%!

 

I've been putting off getting my phone working the I want it too.

 

I am going to be refreshing http://www.america.htc.com/support/m...downloads.html at 12:01am....LOL

 

I'll expect an update from you at 12:02am.

 

Will do

 

I forgot to mention, the task manager app is going to be a standard feature in future HTC ROM builds. My buddy just got an AT&T tilt and his phone came standard with it.

Hopefully it will for us Mogul users too.

 

They're working on the page that the download info will be on!

I noticed the text they had used for the download link changed.

Earlier today it said:

"Download Version 2.17.651.0"

Now it just says "Download".

I wonder if they will update the page at 12am EST? If so, i'll have the update tonight.

 

Being that Rev A will be added by this update, be sure to run a mobile speed test BEFORE you do the ROM update and perform the speed test after to see if it really made a difference.

They are toying with me, they changed the download page back.

 

They know we are waiting and just sitting back doing this

 

Nothing!!!

 

yea, the date the page was last updated disappeared, and the text at the bottom changed again.

dunno what they are doing. As long as it comes up sometime during monday I'll be happy.

 

This is weird, the page updated, but it is linking to what appears to be an older ROM...

"RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_2.09.651.3_1.32.00_SPCS_NV12 4_new_Ship.exe"

 

Still nothing.

 

The download page wasn't updated, but some guys on engadget found the download link!!! Although I can't say if it's the final release version.

FYI: The download link is shown in the engadget comments.

 

Official release is here!

installed the ROM update, everything is working good so far.

haven't had a good connection so haven't been able to see a marked improvement in speed using Rev. A yet.

 

I got it...yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I was so excited when I finally seen it on HTC, I didn't even do a speed test before hand.

Have you tested the GPS?

 

I tried it on mine with GoogleMaps and it's working good.

The only thing that's bad is that in GoogleMaps my position is off by about 15-25 feet.

 

Thats not bad...

I hope that Verizon releases this update too...

 

^^^ the thing I love about googleapps is the traffic info.

Regardless if you have the update, I highly suggest trying the mobile version of googlemaps.

 

Yes, I have tried Google Maps and it is excellent. Unfortunately, there is no traffic information for Hawaii...

Have you tried the Microsoft Live Search? It is Microsoft's version of Google Maps. Pretty nice too!

I also have another GPS program called iGuidance. Pretty good Nav program. It even speaks street names (although does terrible on Hawaiian names ) when giving turn by turn instructions. It seems to crash alot though...

 

The thing that bugs me about googlemaps is that it doesn't remember to use gps when you start it up the next time after completely shutting down the program. I have to keep re-enabling it when I start it up again.

 

Telenav was installed with the new ROM, but it's only a trial (for me anyway) depending on your plan. It works pretty well and talks to you. I like it, but I am going to look around and see if there is anything free that compares

 

it's a trial for me to, but I didn't bother trying it since I have google maps.

 

THe official ROM for Windows Mobile 6.1 for the Sprint Mogul has been released! Too bad I may be getting the iPhone soon.

http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownloa..._id=75&cat=all

 

Roms been out for months, hope your not just figuring that out. I REALLY like the threaded SMS.

For those that don't have the igo keyboard GO GET ONE RIGHT NOW!!!! It turns the Mogul into a laptop and a MEAN SMS MACHINE!

I truly love this phone... I wouldn't trade it for an iphone if someone gave me $50... Especially with the $50 SERO plan!

 

Are you serious?!!??

I just got the first text message from Sprint about it's availability earlier today.

I have the Rev. A. upgrade from months ago. I know there are hacked roms that were avialbable, but I didn't know the 6.1 "official" upgrade also went out.
