I gather that my rom is out of date - How do I upgrade to the latest version.
i am in the UK if that maters .
I keep having to do soft resets about 2 or 3 times a day - will the upgrade stop the thing freezing ?
Also I have a blank space at the side of ExtROM version - is that BAD ?
If it is just the XDA II you have then go to http://www.my-xda.com/xda2_soft.html and download the latest official update for your device. Connect the XDA II to your computer and run the .exe file you will have downloaded. The XDA II website has more thorough instructions on what you need to do though.
I have an XDA 11i - does the same advice apply ?
Ahh ok, well the same advice will apply, but im fairly sure that O2 have not yet gotten around to releasing an official ROM upgrade for this device yet. I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be one coming soon but no-one is quite sure when it will be yet.
thanks
Hi
I have an o2 xda mini s and i want to upgrade my rom to the latest one, however its not available on the xda site of o2. Can i install any rom or do i have to wait for them to brand it?
How do i upgrade and will it damage my device?
thanks
check this thread:

mini s rom updating
don't do it!!!!
wait for them to 'brand it'
I have the same machine and tried using the new K-Jam ROM from I-Mate and I've gone through some horrifying moments to get it back to normal!!!
i am also waiting for the O2 update, i desperately need push email and was about to take the plunge with the i-mate rom. what sort of problems did you have and how is it working now?
when I tried loading the Imate ROM it all went file until I got an error related to my trying to use IMate software on an O2 machine
It remained in three color mode (as it is when upgrading the ROM) until I turned it off and then it was dead!!! It would not do anything! No lights, no activesync, leds, nothing!
Fortunately I took out the battery and put in back in and was back to normal working order. I'm assuming that I was fortunate and the changes didn't yet save. I really don't know, but it scared the crap out of me!
Still I came across someone in a forum that has done it. I've emailed him to ask how. Supposedly it works but you end up having to remap buttons and such.
Regardless I've decided to hold off for two reasons...
1. I've still got warranty that is void if you change the ROM
2. a tech from O2 emailed me to say they are coming out with an upgrade... while no details about when
hi guys
having real problems with my spv m1000,i got an wm5 upgrade from eBay (worst idea of my life) and followed full instructions provided wich included bucking up my old OS with xda image tool. after installing wm5 i was not pleased with it at all so i tried to go back to my old os but xda image tool said it could not see my device. so i decided to go back to wm2003se as i new there was a rom available but now iv still got bugs and xda image tool is still not seeing my device on top of all that i found a newer rom of wm5 and thought its worth a try but now my computer wont see my device in boot loader mode.
if any one can help me out here it would be great. would be brilliant if i could just go back to wm2003 that i had originally
thanks
Hi
I am new to all of this , i have got a std hd on orange (well not any more )
rom version 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
I thought i would tart simple and kick off with the latest HTC rom... see how that improved things for me... i put the SN of my handset into the downloader on the HTC support site and got a message saying that it was not suitable for this device... WTF...
I am kinda lost now , all i want is a smoother, more responsive handset that doesnt freeze up on me...
any pearls of wisdom ??
because you bought your device from orange you can't use HTC.COM for ROM updates. When orange bought the devices HTC technically washed their hands of any software involvement (hotfixes not included).
Orange (like most networks) Take the stock ROM and modify it to their liking adding in stuff they want you to access. Take a Sony Ericsson for example. In the menu instead of play now and Internet, they have swapped this for stuff that will take you straight to an orange website that you have to download their content and no one elses.
In short if you want a new ROM you will have to use either HSPL or USPL to unlock the phone and allow ROMs to be flashed.
There is a number of HTC upgrade roms available in the wiki (available shipped roms)and also lots of cooked roms to try. I suggest you read up on flashing in the wiki and also read this dummies guide/tutorial
Hi all,
I was wondering if you had any info at all? I can see that version 3.14.206.1 is availible for t-mobile, orange etc in the UK, but good old O2 still show v 1.72.
I spoke to O2 today who said that they have version 3.14 live.
She sent me an email with a URL in it, but that URL goes to the download page on the HTC site for version 1.72.
I called back and the advisor 'Ben' I spoke to, and the technical team were all adament that O2 had made version 3.14.206.1 live weeks ago and it should be on the site.
I told them that I had been checking for weeks and had not seen it go live, and that I had not heard about it on this and other HTC forum sites. They argued that it was there and that HTC may have taken it down? Surely HTC will tell me to go away as I am not a direct customer of theirs and that I have a vendor locked phone and send me back to O2 for me to go around in circles again?
They now tell me I need to contact HTC direct as the link goes to their site. A copy of the email is below :
Thank you for your recent handset enquiry regarding software on your handset. Please find details of how to upgrade your handset software to version ROM: 3.14.206.1 below.
Visit the HTC website and follow the instructions.
Upgrade URL: htc . com /uk /SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=937&news_id=636 (sorry had to format it as it would not let me post URLS)
We hope this has answered your question. Please note that replies to this email will not be actioned.
As far I know the 3.14 O2 stock rom version isn't available jet. I know that O2 have update the rom for the HD Mini but for the HD2 nothing to find.
Well I really hope they pull their fingers out! If not I may have to put Android on it...
I have used O2 for over 8 years and they have always been slow to get ROM updates up, but in the last few years they have been terrible!
O2 (UK): 3.14.206.1, O2(Germany): 3.14.207.1
Maybe old news but just saw that 18.2.2011 a new HD2 O2 rom is being offered at HTC: http://tinyurl.com/new-O2-ROM-3-14
The latest o2 update is on the HTC website htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1088&news_id=871
but as per usual im gonna miss that update as my phones being repaired
please let me know whether it makes the phone any faster thanks =D
hmm strange that it still doesnt show up on the regular support - hd2 - downloads list on htc.com
Typical O2 to be the last to release, and still get it wrong.
Mirror download link.
In case of; here you have a mirror download link of the; O2 (UK): 3.14.206.1
Thanks to the collaboration of samsamuel
Have fun.
=========== WARNING ====================
PLEASE DO NOTupgrade to new rom for HTC-HD2 for o2 3.14.206.1
it is not stable . freezes!
Even HTC sense crashes!
No problems on mine.
thank you
Very true, for me it was actually a stepback, not an upgrade. My phone was very buggy for the entirety of the 3 days I had it on. I've downgraded to the 1.72 Rom I had before and everything is fine once again.

I upgraded over a week ago. I'm very happy with it. No bugs apparent, and much better battery life.
Upgrade O2 to 3.14
I upgraded my 14 month old HD2 to O2 ROM 3.14.206 two weeks ago.
No problem with the upgrading process.
Since then my battery life has been considerably improved, the HD2 has been completely stable, and access to the internet using Opera 10 has been much better than before. I'm absolutely delighted!
Same here, excelent upgrade, in fact the HD2 is so good now that I do not spend more than 2 weeks playing with Nokia N8 and rush back to my old trusty HD2!
nice post thank you
just updated, wifi issues i believe but everything else seems fine
O2 ROM upgrade for a T-Mobile HD2
Hi all. I've got a bit of a problem in that I flashed my HD2 from T-Mobile to O2 after unlocking it to any network. This means that subsequent ROM upgrades are difficult to come by unless the file is posted here. When I visit the HTC site and attempt to download the upgrade, firstly I have to enter the phone's serial number which HTC have on record as being a T-Mobile unit originally. This kicks me out of the O2 ROM upgrade download screen.
Does anyone have access to the file that they could post here for me please. I'd be hugely grateful.
Very many thanks

[REF] Leo Official ROMs found in 6.5 rom development. first post first link, all teh stock roms are there,
your phone will always be rom locked to t mo. the htc website will never let you download anything but t mo roms.
since you have hspl, you dont need to stick to stock roms, you have already unlocked it for flashing custom roms.
There is a download link of the ROM in post 7
