summiter seems to be up on it

All I can say is that Summiter's 2.17 rom (which you can easily find on the FTP) is WELL worth updating to. It is MUCH faster, includes more features, and is extremely easy to install and does not even require the phone to be unlocked. I've been using it for awhile now and there are no missing features that the old ROM had, and everything just seems to work a bit better. 8) Go for it.

New T-Mobile Wing Update Is Officially Available.

T-Mobile has released the much anticipated update to the Wing. The update seems different from the one provided through HTC though so heres the link. http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/. happy updating!

Who is going to be the first to try it?
I'm using the radio from it.

is it WM6.1?

nope ...not 6.1 but with all the t mobile crap running you get 18m and if you turn voice command off 20m....looks like they fixed the memory leak to........ better but to late....
rom version:4.26.531.1wwe
rom date :04/22/08
radio :03.21.90

Wait, why exactly are you guys hesitant to download this? I'm assuming cause you're using your own roms, right? I still have the stock tmobile rom and everything, so i'm gonna download it.

the file
can someone post the file to download? internrt explorer monile wont let me get to it.

any 1 know if I use this update with my wing with the stock rom but with a 6mb pagepool will it damage my phone???will I lost all my data???like game or apps???

I downloaded it and had to backup all my ****, so yeah..

its a rom update people .... just like flashing a rom from here ... the rom works fine even has a newer radio than the ones here.... they did fix most of the issues us wing users had .......but like i said BETTER BUT TO TO LATE
P.S this rom is just like open touch 5.2 original but with a newer radio you can even change the page pool to 6 or 4 ... it comes set to 8

you need to go to the website enter youe IME to get it,,,,,, i used Internet Explorer worked fine

Ok Well My first impression on this is..its about time they have an official update. Ive been told this was going to be released months ago from t mobile themselves. but anyway it does solve most of the problems including the memory leak. the im application still wont close after u exit though but i really dont use it. but the rom itself is pretty good it would be alot better though it if was windows mobile 6.1 but i recently talked to a t mobile representative and they told me they should be getting the 6.1 version soon so keep your fingers crossed.

can you please put the radio here...........thanx

I believe the radio is already posted on another thread.
Edit:
Here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393988&page=3
The only other change from the original stock seems to be the office mobile update.
So far the memory leak seems to be gone.
It is set for an 8M Page Pool. I changed mine back to 6, the offset is obviously different, so the current instructions at modaco need some tweaking.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393988&page=3 heres the link to the radio!

I'm obviously a new Wing user, so explain the memory leak problem to me please?

For an updated ROM this isn't bad for anybody who uses the stock ROM, however for anyone who uses a custom ROM, this update isn't at all worth the download.
Like stated before, it's a little too late for update to be at all impressive.

How do you change the page pool?

the memory leak problem was caused by windows live through the phone and u would start with about 10 mb of ram then it will decrease overtime to maybe 4 and thats bad for the phone cause itll be very slow

Just keep refreshing or continuing. It said the same thing when I put my number in and I kept hitting enter until it let me through.

Official ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 (T-Mobile) UK 26/04/10 1.72.110.4

Sorry if other people have already seen this, I did a search and couldn't find anything. I just noticed that T-Mobile have released (via HTC) an official UK (and Germany and Czech Republic) a 1.72 version of the ROM for the HD2 on the 26th April 2010 (2 days ago).

Im installing now...where do I find that info ? biggest noob of em all

Is this just for T Mobile usres as the name sugests??
Im on O2, completely new to Winmo and smart phones at that!!!
Not rele sure what i need to do, but im trying to sort things out.

No to 3.5..... shocker
Manila 2012 but I can't see any differences over the former 1920..... please feel free to correct me
Personally, I can't see / feel many if any decent changes.......
If you install, your phone will be as you originally received it (save the updated software) so you will have to re-install everything...
If I had the previous 1.43 I would flash back...

I havent added anything as yet as i only had it since monday!!
Sorry to sound dumb, was is flash back??

Then you have nothing to worry about....

is there some sort of changelog for this?
please do report on what its like, particularly stability and messaging
then i might do my first HD2 flash...

i upgraded from original 1.43 stock rom and must say its a lot smoother than before, doesnt freeze up as much very little lagging.
no real difference in battery life, maybe a touch better but the main difference for me is that HTC messaging works instead of me having to rever back to wm messaging.
also, it came with .net 3.5 so i dont know why others have said it doesnt.

well im sold!
will DL and flash tonight!
thanks for the report jonyid

Any Ideas
Hi Guys
I cant seem to be able to download the T-Mobile rom from HTC's site. When I enter my serial number the site says that Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. Yet I am a UK user on T-Mobile with rom version 1.66.405.2 what am I doing wrong?

What ROM are you using, as T-MobUK have only had 1.43 and now 1.72?
I am also with T-MobUK but I quickly dumped ROM 1.43, HSPL'd and went for the HTC standard WWE 1.66 ROM. Since T-MobUK 1.72 is WWE1.66 with T-Mob bloatware added, then there is no point updating.
If you really want the 1.72 ROM, I'll get it for you.

Hi Please ignore above I have just discovered even though I bought my phone as a t-mobile one it is in fact the unlocked phone, so am I right in understanding that the latest rom for my phone (according to HTC's Site) is 166.405.2

I recently upgraded my Tmobile 1.43 Rom to the new 1.72.110.4 from the HTC website. So far it seems to be ok. Not much of a difference: Solitaire and Bubble breaker have been added, You Tube, Bing search and one or two additions as well. Most importanly however is the performance of the HTC messaging program. I used PIM back toback up for my text messages, contacts, calender. Ugraded the ROM, (took about 10mins or less) and restored text messages from the back up file.
Restore process showed me 7000+ texts copied to the device. Restarted the device, checked messaging and got the "restoring messages" status bar. Took about 1 hour since then, I have noticed a marked improvement in the HTC messaging application. Can now continue using the phone even when a text comes in, can delete without having to wait ages for the device to start up again.
BTW I have some apps installed: TomTom 6, Swype, Skype, TCPMP player, Registry editor, etc.
Hope that information helps or encourages someone!
does anyone know if its possible to go back to the 1.43 ROM??? (just curious....)

Noob question here... as I have flashed my device and installed a custom ROM (or many) already will this take HSPL off my device? Will it be ok to do the normal install or will it brick my device?
I'm just trying to get my phone back to stock Rom levels as I need to return it to Tmobile and this is the only place I've managed to find the TmobileUK stock ROM.
Help? Please?!

Can anyone help with this at all? Please?!

Bell/Virgin Froyo Update

Any word yet if/when Bell/Virgin will be rolling out 2.2 to Canadian users?
If I don't get it relatively soon I'll probably root. Is that more difficult to do with the Bell build?
Any suggestions from rooted Bell users?

No word yet. Canadian carriers suck at issuing updates in a timely fashion. I rooted my Legend over the summer and installed the Vodafone 2.2 build recently with no problems. For the root, you'll need to downgrade to the 1.31 RUU before you can successfully root.

Hi,
I wrote to Virgin Mobile support on November 30 and I got the following answer:
Hi there - HTC is currently working on this update and we're hoping to have it within the next couple months. We'll keep you guys up-to-date online. Stay tuned!
Lots of Love,
Virgin Mobile

And before that I wrote to Bell support and never got answered.
Personnaly, I found that «next couple months» is very long!

Bell never answer questions I email them, HTC Legend related or not.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

I made a thread about this over at howardforums. somebody responded saying Virgin is working on it and they expect it to be out in January, and if there are any delays, early February.

I got tired of waiting for Virgin to come out with Froyo, so I rooted and flashed Cyanogen on my Legend and couldn't be happier. There is a bug with voicemail notifications, but I'm sure that will be fixed soon.
When (and IF) Virgin has an update, I'll do it on my wifes phone, but the added features that Cyanogen gives is well worth it.

That's pretty brutal. I love my Legend, but I really regret buying it from Bell. I've had nothing but bad experiences with them.
Which rooting guide has the most success with the Legend?
I'm fairly new to this, so I'll have to do my homework before attempting a root.
Maybe a good December project.

i work for virgin mobile and own the legend myself.
I ask my DM, and manger almost weekly about the update only to hear that they have no idea.
I call technical support (store line/regular line) and no one there knows either.
I also check our daily updates.. daily. Only to find nothing about the legend day after day.
I've been holding my breath for the update, but i don't suggest you do the same.

Unbrand your phone by installing the WWE version and you will probably get the update faster than Bell or Telus.
Hopefully it's coming Monday.
--io

The update is likely only days away so i suppose it's a funny time to ask about debranding.
My main issue is that I don't know what rom to use from the shipped roms website... a little bit of a text explanation would be great.
I still don't know what RUU means... or what WWE is... and i've been actively doing some reading on the subject.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!

go to the wiki!!!! everything is there!!!!

Haha, that post was actually quite useful
RUU = Rom update utility
WWE = World Wide English
So all I have to do is pick the most recent WWE version and I'm good to go?

I got annoyed with the flip-flopping and waited until after the halfway mark in the month. I've rooted my phone and it works perfectly.
I found that Blayo's ROM to run extremely well on the Legend.

Sorry for bumping it again ( I've been monitoring this thread and everytime i see it bumped up, it gives me hope... but only to find out we are all asking the same thing ... WHEN?!!)
Since BELL discontinued the Legend, does this mean when (if?) Virgin releases the OTA update, BELL users like me will get the same VIRGIN update as well show up on our phone?
The post about updating it with the WWE version... if i understand it correctly, the steps are:
1. Create a gold card... i saw a thread about a manual (albeit complicated for the non-techno geek.. ) way and an automated way using a software someone wrote
2. Run the latest WWE that has been posted (this is supposed to debrand our phone so that we can "see" the SOftware Update for WWE, right)
3. Check the Software Update on the phone and i should see the Fryoyo Update. ( I assume if we apply update, the ROM Update (data) it will download on the phone will be billable...or count as your data usage)
Does this sound about right?
I'm keeping this update via WWE as my last option if the OTA does not see the light of day...for us BELL users..

At this point, i'd say it's 70/30 that bell does not get the update. Just because as you've said, it's a discontinued phone for bell. with a small install base.
Hopefully Virgin/Bell decide to push it to bell sets. I'm not sure if they'd have to prepare two versions for that though. From what i understand, we're only a few days away from finding out.
It's funny, Bell Discontinued the Legend because they couldn't keep them in stock due to HTC having a lack of stock because the Amoled screen wasn't being produced fast enough. hence why they switch to a different screen for the Legend. Most people think it was just old or selling poorly when in fact those are both false.

There was noise about an update in Mid-Jan from Virgin, Bell as far as I remember has discontinued support and it's unlikely that there's going to be an update. You won't get the OTA update unless Bell releases it. I'm rather dissapointed with the promises that keep being broken for our rather expensive service... Root your 'phone.
The procedure is :
Create a Goldcard. As you mentioned there's very easy to follow guides out there.
Downgrade your phone to an earlier version of the software. This permits rooting your phone.
Root your phone. This will allow you to install a ROM other than the Carrier's ROM.
Install either a stock ROM (WWE) or a custom ROM.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I am using Blayo's ROM, which is almost identical to the stock FroYo ROM, but with a few tweaks that just make the phone feel nicer. I would reccomend looking into some of the other ROMs as well. You may find something you like. Android's about choice and this is one great advantage of rooting your 'phone.

I'm gonna give it up to the end of Jan and if there are no updates, i'll definitely go this way... im out of space to install anything else... angry birds and talking tom are taking so much space... had to remove my talking tom to install some smaller apps.

On Facebook, the guy from Virgin told that they had problems with the update so they are doing more testing...
If you want to be up to date, I really suggest you to root your phone and try a rom. You won't lose any functions on your phone and you'll never have to wait again.

Hello there, i'm new to this flashing ROM, rooting and stuff...
In your post, it sounds easy, create a golden-SD (follow the guides), downgrade and update the WWE...
i got lost on the second step... how do you downgrade the phone? I have a VM legend 2.1 w/ update 1 and seems like VM is not giving out the update. I'm thinking going your way but don't know how to downgrade the phone.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

could any1 post an alternative link to this mine keeps saying download interupted when i try this thanks

Any chance of some more information of what the rom contains or what improvements it may make.

First two things noticed, the bootloader and radio version are later than I thought was available as the NoDo Update is cooked into it so it's NoDo'd out of the box so to speak.

It's NoDo with 7390.

Has anyone tried this yet ? Is it the update from a source at O2 or will will we hit issues if we update when Mango etc come out ?

Haiz, Vietnam is not supported by M$ so we have to unlock, but now, we don't know how to unlock NoDo, i want this version so much, cause the older one have very bad radio in my location, i want the latest one like this but can't... Now for me I have to unlock at 7004, back up and head up to NoDo... So i have to ask 2 question
1/ I wonder if now i update to NoDo by zune, i can get this version or the 1 before with radio version 5.54???
2/And in People, I have some font error, like this in Vietnamese: Cường, i try all the rom i can find here but not work... Anyone cuold help me for a solution?
Thanks for reading and pardon my bad language

Not tired it yet, but it should not install if its not a valid O2 rom

Installed it - seems ok no major speed differences of battery life - but seems to be the latest around - if anything the signal strength is possibly better. Just really waiting for Mango and hoping that the move to 7.5 will be possibly on original 7 devices - anyone know this?

I install this with rum? help me

I dont think drinking is going to help you install this. lol

Whats the battery like with this radio? any improvments over the stock version? (besides nodo)

The radio has helped with my signal. Hope a new one comes out soon.

Um....Really!
Would you beleive that i just flashed this to a TMOUS HD7?!
Not only did it flash but it did indeed update radio and it works!
Makes me wonder, have i just unlocked the 900 band to use this in Australia??
Either way my pd29110 is now a T9292 haha
Next step would be to load a custom rom with no branding and i would have just reverted a TMO to a stock HTC. me is happy
