Help with updating ROM

I am quite new to this website and have been trying to read as much as i can about the forum. I recently purchased the HTC HD2 from Vodafone UK at the beggining of the month, i have had the phone for two weeks and love it!
After reading about the release of the new 1.48 ROM i went onto the HTC UK wesbite and tried to download the released ROM onto my computer, however after entering my phone serial number and clicking submit it says:
'Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device'
Can anybody help me with this my current ROM is: 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE
I don't quite understand why it does not let me download the new ROM.
Thankyou.

Please delete this thread i have found the problem. Sorry for the thread, did not do my research fully before creating it!

Go to your settings tab and scroll down to "About Phone". In there, select "Software information". This will tell you the ROM version that you currently have (amongst other things).
The ROM upgrade on the HTC site is for unbranded versions only. If you want an official one for your phone then you have to wait until a Vodafone specific ROM is released. Alternatively, you can flash HSPL onto your device which will allow you to install any ROM, but this invalidates your warranty with Vodafone. If you do want to do that then do some reading in the ROM section. The stickied posts at the top of the forum are great for all levels, from total newbs to experts, so they should answer any questions you have.

Thank you very much aboput the tip.it was very hepfull
i will try to shrt it out since my rom version of my device is 1.43

I've got a HD2 with Vodafone and i managed to update to the last new ROM. I also had problems downloading it and eventually realised i was typing in O's (letters) rather than 0's (numbers). Perhaps try typing it in differently.

ah whatever happened to the good old days when an o was an o and a 0 was an ø.

My phone is not carrier locked and I updated with the previous (December) official HTC ROM without a problem. However, when I enter my s/n for the new ROM, it says it's not available for my region. I have a copy of the new WWE ROM, can I install it without a problem?

Changing the rom shouldn't change the serial number, double check you are using the correct serial (oh's as zero's perhaps?)

Am I Up To Date?

hi just got my hd2 a few days ago the software info is:
os 5.2.21845
manila 2.5.19202525
rom 1.43.110.2
radio 2.04.50.22)22)
protocol 15.26.50.07u
are there any updates i need to apply?
thanks
mark

well go to the HTC website... you'll be in for a surprise!!

i see theres an update to down,load but the serial number i have has lots of IO or is that 10's in it

also if i do the rom upgrade will i still need to install all the other updates or is this a fix-all?

Ive entered loads of combinations all seem to be invalid except one which states
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
???

It sounds like you got your phone from O2, Vodafone or T-Mobile rather than a 3rd party like Phones4U. This means that you can't just download and apply HTC updates.
Fear not - go to the Leo ROM development section on this forum, put HSPL on your phone and then load the latest ROM update from HTC (v1.66). This includes all the latest updates.
Use this UK serial number to download the ROM upgrade:
HT9AZNW00968

wow thanks for that...
only 2 days in and im flashing a rom... how l33t of me lolz.

It's the same phone, but it is just the european name. What the problem with the serial number is, I don't know. Maybe you were on the english site or something? And if that doesn't work, I think you will find a rom here.

Help me please!!
Can you help me to find best rom for my phone please?
I want to upgrade to latest rom winth win 6.5.

Cannot Update rom
Hello im trying for 3 days to upgrade the rom and i cant.
I read something about SPL .
Can anyone give me more details please?
Best regards,

Here's a guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312

Thank you
That was helpful thanks!!!

I don't think you can upgrade the stock ROM if your serial number does not tally with HTC database. You even can't install using someone else serial number. The RUU just will not write to your TD2. I had tried to install EU ROM upgrade using my Asia serial number but failed.
Another option is to check your SPL version and flashed back with it's shipped SPL.
If all else fail, your only solution is to HSPL your device and flash with cooked ROMs available at TD2 section. There are many available. Some are better than HTC stock upgrades.
Good luck.

New Touch HD, flashing stock EU ROM

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum and to HTC in general, so there are a few newbie questions on the way.
I got a Touch HD in China yesterday. Since it came with a Chinese ROM, I asked the guys to change it with an English one, thinking that I would have no trouble getting the new EU update from the HTC webpage by myself. I read a bit about it on these forums, but the more I read the more confused I get - I have absolutely no idea what SPL, USPL, HSPL, CID and all those things mean and what one is supposed to do with them.
When I switch the phone on, the bottom right part of the loading screen says this:
R 1.14.25.24
G 52.64.25.34H
D 1.59.Dutty
When I go into Settings>System>Device Information>Version, I have the following:
ROM version: Duttys HD XT V3.8 WWE
ROM date: 21/06/09
Radio version: 1.14.25.24
Protocol version: 52.64.25.34H
Now, as I said above, I want to install the stock EU ROM from the official HTC website - what is the simplest way to do this? I'm really sorry for asking something which has probably been asked a gazillion times by now, but when it comes to phones - I've no idea what to do. Do I just go ahead and download the update and install it, or it's not as easy as that? What if I download the ROM and go ask the guy at the shop to install it for me?
P.S I somehow managed to get to a three-color screen and it said SPL-156.OliNex, if that's any help.
P.P.S With the serial number I have I can only download the new ROM from the Taiwanese website. Will I still be able to install a European ROM on a phone manufactured for Taiwan?
