While Sprint has not yet uploaded the update to their servers, PhoneNews.com has the final version of the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade for the HTC Mogul.
This update also adds, as previously reported, Sprint TV service to the Mogul. Previously, Sprint TV service was available on the HTC Touch, but not on the Mogul. This makes Mogul the first PDA Phone on Sprint to offer both Sprint Navigator, as well as Sprint TV, in a single device.
You can download the update from our servers, by jumping over to the HTC Mogul page on our Phone Encyclopedia.
Verizon Wireless and Alltel have yet to commit to upgrading their variants of the HTC Mogul (the XV6800 and PPC-6800, respectively), to Windows Mobile 6.1.

Sprint Firmware Tracker Updated…

Just found a minor bug. When in the Owner Information window, you can not type certain characters using the keyboard.
Example: In the phone number field, I can type 555 555 5555 as my phone number. I can’t type (555) 555-5555 as the phone number.
Workaround: Use the on-screen keyboard to type it in.
All other apps seem to work fine with the full keyboard, odd that Owner Information would have that issue.
And yes, this update does make PAM Verification air-tight.
I opened up Pocket IE, loaded a web page. Then, went to Internet Sharing and started a Bluetooth PAN session. Instantly, the device disconnected from the web, reconnected using the @modem.sprintpcs.com login, and shot up an Error 67.
So, if you update (and want to use the phone as a modem), you will have to add a Phone As Modem plan if you use this firmware.
I have not tested with WMWifiRouter yet. However, it may be blocked as well, considering that WMWifiRouter is just scripting the Internet Sharing UI.
This is why you should link to the source. I’m sure if you dug deeper than just scraping the firmware from xda-developers, you would have seen that a simple regedit:
“Those of you running Sprint ROMs should navigate to the following registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing” and delete the string value named “Extension”. This will allow you to connect to the Internet via the “Internet Sharing” app without the dreaded error 67/authentication errors.”
will apparently punch the hole needed to allow ICS (I do not have a titan and thus have not tested nor can vouch for this edit)
And while your over there, you should notice that the new Touch ROM has been released there as well.
Thanks for letting us know that the Touch ROM has leaked, we’ll definitively look into it. However, we didn’t get this ROM from the site you mentioned.

I am attempting to update my phone, which had several bugs, freezes, and does not have Sprint TV. However, the link provided will not update my Mogul HTC, which I purchased in April. The phone does not recognize the program. Do I have to download this to my pc and then sync it? Because my pc is not recognizing the link either? When is sprint set to release the update? They are still shwoing the march 10th update as the primary update to Windows mobile.
“This makes Mogul the first PDA Phone on Sprint to offer both Sprint Navigator, as well as Sprint TV, in a single device.”
Uh…. BlackBerry Pearl and Curve??
Where is Sprint Navigation after the update?
Pearl and Curve are typically considered Smartphones, they lack a touch screen. A touch screen is typically what separates a smartphone and a PDA phone.
The Motorola Q9c also has Sprint TV and Sprint Navigation, but it too is a smartphone, and not a PDA Phone.
After the update, Sprint Navigation is located in Start > Programs.
Lori, to run the updater, you download it to your PC and launch it from there. This is not a Windows Mobile program.
Sprint will likely release the update within the week, however, we have confirmed that it is the update they intend to post. The delay is made to ensure that both HTC and Sprint offer the same update on their servers at the same time.
posting here using the mogul under the new rom and its great…loving it. thaks for the early supply.
I must say that there is no better “do it all” phone in the states today. i won’t change phones before the htc pro is released
Finally been waiting for 6.1 wheres the intergrated picturemail…im using the smms program now?
just got a mogul yesterday and updated to the windows mobile 6.1. successful install if you follow directions. so everything is perfect.
my rom is version 3.35.651.2 and the version on the site is 3.35.651.0 is a windows OS upgrade or just the rom?
after complete update I have window 6.1. just follow the directions
after complete update I have window 6.1. just follow the directions. I don’t know if its rom or os.
to use PAM 1 can simply rename phone as modem to sprint PCS or whatever connection available under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>comm>internetSharring>settings>ForceCellConnection
The install worked just fine, but it doesn’t have the sliding panel interface that Microsoft has been hyping. Anyone else have this problem?
I’ve been around and around with Sprint for 14 days now about PAM and it will not work and they refuse to do anything about it. Other than selling me a Sprint card with a $10 discount. wow.. i’m impressed!
Anywho… I tried your suggestion of:
1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing†and delete the string value named “Extension
to use PAM 1 can simply rename phone as modem to sprint PCS or whatever connection available under
that didn’t work so tried:
2)HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>comm>internetSharring>settings>ForceCellConnection
And I still get the error 67.
Any advise??? Anyone else continuing to have this problem?
nice phone
I upgraded from windows mobile 6.0 to 6.1 and the installation worked successfully. Every thing was cool. But I cannot recieve or make calls from the phone.
Please, what should I do to solve this problem.
I just updated my sprint mogul smartphone from windows mobile 6.0 to 6.1 professional, everything went well but I cannot make or recieve calls from the phone.
Following the suggestions above, I managed to get internet sharing to work with my Mogul and laptop using a USB connection. The bad news is that I haven’t managed to get the Bluetooth connection to work as well.
Maybe that’s because I wasn’t able to follow the suggestions exactly. For instance, it said go
to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing†and delete the string value named “Extensionâ€.
When I went there I didn’t find anythinge named “Extension.” Instead I simply deleted “String Forcell Connection” under \Settings.
In any case, can anyone suggest what I might need to do to get the Bluetooth PAN connection to work not the USB connection works?
how do I go to hkey_local_machine/comm/internetsharing? I do not have a backslash on my phone. I don’t understand this at all please help ASAP!!!!
I updated my Mogul from Windows Mobile 6.0 to 6.1 and I am able to make and receive phone calls, however when I place a call, the phone automatically switches to roaming, even when the phone is set to stay in the “Sprint Only” Network. I called both Sprint and HTC and they haven’t heard of this being a problem with the new update. I talked to another guy I know who has the same phone but through Alltel, and they warned him not to update his phone due to roaming issues the new update is causing. Texting, surfing the web, watching TV (which for some reason wasn’t available with 6.0) and GPS all work fine. Even when receiving calls the phone stays on the sprint network. Sprint’s fix was a PRL update, no luck. Is any one else having the same problem, and have you found a way to fix it?
Thanks Moe. That PAM fix worked for me as well.
I was able to get to the registry to delete the Extention entry, but I got an access denied error and wouldn’t let me delete it. It also wouldn’t let me delete the StringForceCell entry. Any suggestions?
I finally got it to work, I had to use a different regedit program, but I got it. I will have to double chekc ont he charges later..
Thanks a lot you are a life saver.
Is there any way to get into settings other than from start to settings on MOGUL? After installing Sprint os 3.35 with windows 6.1 and restoring my settings from Sprite backup the settings will freeze up and I have to do a soft reset. I am not able to bring up the setiings screen period. One of my settings or software on the restore
causes the settings not to work. A hard reset and not restoring my Sprite backup and the settings works OKay.
I’m having the same problem, I updated my phone last night (which I now regrat) Cause I use my phone a lot for my laptop, and now I can’t get online.
I’m having a problem getting the internet sharing to work. My HTC, which I purchased last year (April), had to be replaced because the USB port wasn’t working. They replaced it with a refurb. unit with the 6.1. Is there a chance to get the internet sharing to work?
I have never tried to do a RegEdit. Can someone tell me step for step what to do?
I need to update 6.1 so I can use my Mogul as PAM again.
Thank you
I need to update 6.1 so I can use my Mogul as PAM again.
I have found several posts here that are helpful, but I have never done a RegEdit before…
Any step-by-step instructions available?
Thanks
Thanks it works!
1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing†and delete the string value named “Extension”
2)HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>comm>internetSharring>settings>ForceCellConnection and rename phone as modem to sprint PCS or whatever name connection…
