GPS / Rev A ROM Update on Monday March 10th!?!

[deep309]

This update is for the Mogul, but should be available for the Touch soon after that. It should include unlocking the Rev A radio and the GPS chip in the phone. It will probably also include a BT stereo fix, but unknown if it will address any other BT issues. The new ROM version is rumored to be 3.35.651.2.

What makes you believe the Touch will be available soon after? What does soon mean to you in this case? TIA

[deep309]

The Touch and Mogul are VERY similar, in fact they both use the same 32bit Qualcomm MSM7500 chip. The GPS and Rev A unlocking is done within that chip. So if the ROM is released on Monday I would expect the great minds of XDA to have a Touch version by the end of the day.

That would be sweet! Waiting for HTC to release anything is like pulling teeth.

Only thing i not sure about is if it could work on touch why wouldn't the leaked radio/rom be able to work.

[bedoig]

I agree with mastachillz. The Touch will have to wait for it's own update. From what I've read, the bootloader is integral in getting the GPS/Rev A hardware to work with the OS. That's why you couldn't enable GPS on the Touch just by copying the relevant dlls, reg entries, etc. from the Mogul. Bootloaders are said to be very device specific, so you can't just load the Titan bootloader on the Touch either. The Touch has to keep waiting.

This is not the update for GPS or EVDO Rev. A Just some fixes.

"Additionally, HTC is currently developing a separate ROM update which enables the EV-DO Rev. A and GPS capabilities that are already built into the Mogul hardware. Sprint and HTC plan to make this software ROM available in early 1Q 2008. Please bookmark this page for easy reference."

You're looking at the wrong page.

The update released yesterday DOES indeed enable GPS and Rev A...

OK - understood. Thought you were referring to an official Sprint release.

Don't know that I agree, though, since the leaked Mogul ROM never made it onto a Touch.

I talked to a sprint rep that came to our company and the word is rev a and GPS will be available for the HTC Touch beginning of May. I can't wait. :D
