HTC Hermes (TYTN) on Rogers?

[Mad Medik]

Hi all, first post here. Great board BTW.

I took the plunge and picked up a used TYTN about a week ago. Nothing but headaches since :( Primarily, it has focussed around the "No GSM" error. I've read through the wiki. I downgraded to the 1.04 Bootloader, and applied the fix. Unfortunately, it appears to be temporary; the No GSM seems to come back. I have only been able to place 2 phone calls sucessfully in the last four days, and no text messages. Anyhow, before I run through all the problems and what I have done, perhaps someone who has an HTC TYTN working smoothly on the Rogers Network in Canada could post or PM me with their firmware versions (ROM, ExtROM, Radio, Bootloader, etc). If the same is available for d/l I will flash mine to the same and see if that does the trick...

Thanks for your assistance!

At this moment what radio are you using?

I puchased an almost new HTC TyTN from Mad Monkey Boy about six months ago. It was running the factory stock ROM at the time. I SuperCID'd the device, then installed the South African 1.35 ROM (the complete ROM, yeah I know, it ups the bootloader version, no prob for me as I'd rather have a stable device than "hack" it). I just recently installed the AKU 3.3 WWE test ROM. The only thing I have had to do to make it work with Rogers is to create the GPRS connection (User: wapuser1, Password: wap, APN: internet.com, or vpn.com if you pay the extra $10 a month for a public IP address).

The initial ROM was very slow and very buggy. The 1.35 ROM speeded the device up a bit and much more stable, but still problems with BT A2DP and WMP losing its metadata. The new AKU 3.3 test ROM has been working very well for me, still problems with BT A2DP but no other issues to speak of yet and even faster than its predecessors.

Hi John & Phamoui,

thanks for the quick replies. Pham - I've dropped it off back at the shop where I got it so i'm not 100% sure now. I think the "No GSM" fix put it back to a 1.16 series. They uppped it with the "latest" shipped ROM. I think this was probably the one at the top of the list of available ones here. 1.35 or 1.35 series radio. Sorry for the Lack of detail in this post - I don't have the unit here at the moment.

John - thanks for the info. that should give me a stable starting point.

I've never had any problems with my TyTN on Rogers.

Currently I'm on the SA 1.35 ROM and 1.27 Radio.

I'm still reading up on the new AKU 3.3 before I decide to install it. I've still got to decide on which one to install or wait for the non-TEST HTC version.

Hi, I live in Austin but I have a Rogers SIM card for my Vancouver # (I had a job there temporarily in September/October).

Can you give me the settings for Rogers GPRS and MMS for TyTN (I have the 8525 but I am running the HTC 2.05 ROM).

Thanks!!!

James,

The GPRS/UMTS settings are as follows:

Access point name: internet.com OR vpn.com (depending on your level of data service)
User name: wapuser1
Password: wap
Domain: <leave blank>

I don't know what the MMS settings are as I don't use MMS.

Hi again,

After significant efforts by the fellows at SN Traders (good shop by the way), I have exchanged and gone with a new Cingular 8525 (Hermes 100). I have installed the WM6 XDA Live 0.20 ROM available here and it is running great so far.

So my latest Rogers/Tytn question: Has anyone been able to get the software for the Rogers pushmail? I spoke with a tech, who provided me with a couple links. I tried them, but no link to d/l the software. He advised that he thinks it is because my device is not locked to Rogers and running their software. He states that they do not have access to the CAB files directly as they come from some third party (I've forgotted but something like Verio...) Anyhow, anyone have success in obtaining/installing the software and getting Rogers push email working?

Thanks,

MM
