HTC's latest Touch 3G comes with a light version of their TouchFLO 3D which gives the device a slick new interface. Now, HTC is offering the same TouchFLO 2D for those who purchased the 128MB HTC Touch from last year. All you need to do is head over to www.htc.com, log into your account and download the firmware upgrade. Unfortunately HTC will not be releasing the interface for the original 64MB Touch since the firmware upgrade would consume too much of the limited memory on the device. But if you are willing to give it a try, head over to xda-developers. I have had TouchFLO 2D installed on my original 64MB Touch for a few months now and it runs just fine. You'll just have to give up installing other apps since memory is quite limited.

UPDATE: A few readers have pointed out that they were not able to find the download page on HTC's site.  I have updated the link above withthe direct link to the site, or you can click here.

Mikeware  - HTC firmware update   |148.235.187.xxx |2008-11-19 11:19:42 Nick, Where can I download the update, i've been on the support and e-club sections, and can't find it! Reply | Quote 1   0 benji  - re: HTC firmware update   |97.113.102.xxx |2008-11-19 12:52:49 It appears this is false information, gone are the days of confirming things prior to presenting them as fact  First clue:  Logging into the HTC website to download updates was done away with months ago. In fact, the HTC Club doesn't even provide downloads. To download updates, you go to the support tab, the download section, and select your device. There's a HTC Touch, but no differential of HTC Touch Enhanced vs  just the HTC Touch.  The update listed in this post doesn't appear on the HTC Touch download page.  I suspect if this update were legit, a direct link would've been posted just as it was for the XDA download link.

It seems that HTC is not hosting the download on their US site. You can find it here http://www.htc.com/s ea/supportdownloadli st.aspx?p_id=88&cat= all Reply | Quote 1   0 benji  - Bricked my Touch... Thanks a Lot :(   |97.113.102.xxx |2008-11-20 04:36:28 Not sure what you thought was useful about this info -- the link you provided was for Asia/India HTC... I tried to apply this update to my Touch and now it will only boot up with 3 colored bands. You shouldn't be presenting info that you haven't thoroughly researched, or tried yourself. There is no other shipping ROM available for me to un-brick my device. Thanks a lot, this thing wasn't cheap. This site is obviously not a credible one.

You were the one who used it for the wrong phone. Whenre did you get your phone from anyways. Most people with the 128MB GSM version got theirs imported from tiawan. You're phone's not bricked. Simply find another ROM to flash to it. Reply | Quote 1   0 benji   |97.113.102.xxx |2008-11-20 13:53:24 I got it here: http://www.smart-mob ile-gadgets.com -- hardly Tawain. I would re-flash it with the original ROM, if the download existed at the HTC site. It's registered there, but there isn't a shipping or updated ROM for it. I've tried the ones at XDA, but apparently I needed to know my product ID or something prior to the bricking of it. Tried a couple I though it might be, but they return a 'invalid product id' error.

If anything, they should be able to give you the product number if you give them the serial number.

Maybe the safe bet is to simply install the xda-dev hacked TouchFLO 2D Reply | Quote 0   0 Powered by !JoomlaComment 3.23
