Yes, that is possible, why wouldn't it? Not all the ROM's are available on the net, you have to live with that. The same goes for the Dutch T-Mobile ROM for example.
But there is a simple solution: take your device back to the ServiceCenter so they can flash the ROM for you. Sometimes they even do it at no charge.

HELP need Engish ROM!

Does anyone have English Rom for Treo Pro?
Have you tried contacting Palm or Htc?
If you have a legit need, they might be able to work something out for you.
I'm not sure though.
I have problems, my Treo is in french. The Rom is good - fast but in French. Thats only one reason why i want to change it
ok palm did not help
I contacted palm about getting a ROM in english and they told me that they don't do that, you can only have the language that is on your original ROM and there's no way you can change your ROM...
Why do you want to change it?
Can you just change the regional setting?

Pity to say but no, because everything else is in French and i don't known it at all
I'll be able to provide the Sprint/CDMA rom in a few days, would that help you? I'm getting one a few days before launch date, and was scouring the net to find a custom rom. I'm a new WinMo user, so I'll have to research how to get the rom dump though.

Hi! Thanks! I don't know how but I'll try to find a way to convert from CDMA to GSM. When you will have it, put it somewhere.
Thanks in advance!

XDA-China.com Chinese ROM

I had a friend buy me an HD2 from China. The box and everything is in English so he didn't bother to check the rest. When I turned it on, realized that the ROM is chinese. The other strange thing is that when it boots up, it displays XDA-China.com!!
I wrote to HTC asking if there was any way to change the language. They replied that the serial number checks out as a European model and that ROM should've been in English. Someone in China has "illegally" flashed in with Chinese ROM. They asked me to hard reset, which I did but nothing changed.
My question is how were they able to flash this if according to HTC this is indeed an English model?? Is there a way to change it back to English?
I logged on to XDA-China.com but its all Chinese

It was the same like when I bought the Touch HD in Guangzhou, but it was much easier as the HardSPL had already long available. And for your case, I'm getting the HD2 on the 30 Nov in China too, what we can do is just wish HardSPL to be available asap!!!!!! The easier situation for me is I know Chinese, even though I absolutely prefer English, I can stay with Chinese rom for a while. While typing here, I was loading the XDA-China, but very slow.
I will try to advice if I can when I manage to get some info there.
just download the official EU Leo update and update ur phone with it..should get back to the original.
where do I get the Offical EU update?
just go to this website
http://service.htceurope.com/htcdistributor/Default.aspx
use your own SN/IMEI and check your HD2's regional country
and download the appropriate official ROM. flash directly.
Thnaks for the reply. Tried that. When I query my S/N it says, Generic English ROM. EU. I tried the English WWE. Doesn't work. Gives invalid vendor ID at 1% :-(
I got the same problem.
You need to flash with WWE East Europe, Original ROM.
I found that after trying all available WWE ROMs (google it)
Finally I tried WWE East Europe and I did not encounter "ERROR Vender ID", so the flashing went OK
You can find the official WWE ROMs at:

You know where your frnd brought this???
Anyone know where can buy this baby in Guang Zhou?
HELL YEAH.
If you've got a custom chinese ROM on your HD2, then somewhere there is an HardSPL!
...And you've got that HSPL!!
Please dump your bootloader and post it to us!
P.S.: I don't know how to dump it, but if someone knows, please write...

It's only a custom RUU...
There is no HardSPL available. For those Chinese ROM, they just did put some language patches to make it run. WM 6.5 support multiple language in its kernel(including Chinese). Just the way how to turn it on.

Changing ROM

Hi
I bought an HD2 from Ebay and have discovered it appears to be fitted with an Asian ROM (1.48.831.0 (71294) WWE). The S/N is HT9C8NWxxxxx. I tried getting the ROM upgrade from the HTC web site but it says the device is not suitable for the upgrade. The only issue I have found so far appears to be with the chinese characters on the keyboard.
Is it possible to flash the ROM to a UK version or does the hardware prevent that? If so, what stock ROM do I need?
Thanks
You can change your from to an English/UK one using the Gold Card method (check out the Rom Section under the Leo and you'll find all the information you'll need to know about it). Just to query though, have you tried going through and changing the Language and Region, as if i'm correct the WWE stands for world wide english, which should mean that you can get UK characters on your keyboard.

Many thanks for the advice.
I have the language and region set to UK but it doen't give me the different keyboard options (full, compact, etc), instead it offers me different chinese alphabets. I was also concerned in case I was prevented from getting normal updates as suggested by my experience with HTC.com.
I have exactly same problem and could not fix it. I sent a thread to the froum but with no luck

I followed the routine in the first post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314 and it worked fine. I used the 1.48.405.2 ROM which gives the UK profile. The only problem I had was with getting QMAT to recognise the SD card but I used itsutilsbin (see later in that thread) instead at step 3 and that seemed to work.

UK ROM upgrade now up

As above 1.66.405.2 is now available from the HTC Website

Yup! - just Flashed mine

Just a quick question about the new Rom Update.
I'm currently waiting for T-Mobile to release there version of the Rom update from version 1.43 to 1.66.
I can get a copy of the 1.66 official Rom Update from the HTC website (my mate has a HTC HD2 which is unbranded).
Could i update my Rom using the download? Would it cause any problems to the phone?
Many thanks.
any noticed anything different?
I have an Uk version on O2 but its not taking my serial... any ideas?
surely I don't have to wait the O2 customised rom?
Does this at all stop the sluggishness and freezing from time to time
O2 and VF both run locked ROMs - the S/Ns need to be cleared by O2/VF/HTC to allow download...
any workarounds? ;-D

rom update 1.66
Hi,
After I update the rom to the latest 1.66, do i need to install the previous updates on the htc website such as the sim contacts and camera fix.
Thanks

For future reference, it tells you the max ROM version that you need the hotfixes for, on the page where you download them.
In this instance, there haven't been any that have had a ROM version higher than 1.66, so no - you don't need them

I haven't found anything noticeable except a lower screen sensitivity and some value added applications.
Before I update my ROM, I read this
"The update will take up to 30 minutes, DO NOT interrupt the update process, make/receive phone calls, disconnect the device from the PC, or press any buttons until the process has been completed."
And wondered how I can stop any incoming calls, messages, mails etc. Should I just put it into airplane mode or something?
