Hi,
I bought a unlocked touch dual off ebay and want to upgrade it to WinMo6.1
from HTC website, but it says that my phone cant be upgraded. I called HTC and they said that its becuase I'm using T-mobile and have to get it throught them. T-mobile doesn't offer any support for the phone so I cant get it from them. Am I out of luck with upgrading and have to stick with 6?
I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff so any help is appreciated.

It seems like Tmobile is replacing its Wizard Version (MDA) with a newer HTC device namely HTC Atlas.
The news seems to be true as Tmobile US has taken MDA off of its website.
More on this Here
hmm interesting.. theyve been offering me a new phone because ive already had 13 mdas.. maybe they'll offer me this next time i call into warranty.. thatd be sweet lol
Win Mobile 6 software upgrade to MDA?
Is Tmobile going to post the ROM update (WM6) on their site so we can grab that and put it onto our MDAs ???
Does anyone knows this for sure???
Thank you!

I talked to a guy from t-mobile when setting up my replacement mda to be shipped, and asked why mda wasnt on the site anymore, he told me about the new mda with wm6, but there will be no rom update for mda, just the dash.
I am really disappointed with T-Mobile...this is going to be their 4th pocket pc here in the U.S. (excuse if I am forgetting any of the others)...the HTC Atlas looks nice and all, but it's lacking the speed that Cingular, Sprint, and Verizon pocket pcs have...my friend even told me that the replacement of the vx6700, the vx6800 is come out with over 600mhz processor...I might just buy a 8525 from one of my friends that have Cingular...
what services in the USA offer this phone? I got sprint and far as i know the offer the diamond and touch pro. i was thinking this or that sony phone, but really don't wana switch servics again nor do i wanna buy it in full. hoping to get a new phone as an upgrade so its cheaper
you would have to buy the htc touch hd unlocked first of all. and since it is a gsm phone (requires a sim card), you have only two choices....t-mobile or at&t.
Just got my Airtel Carrier - HTC Hero (unlocked) 2.73.720.5
Im surprised that everyone besides India have a 2.73.4xx firmware. Is it just me or did India get a smaller updated edition (revision) compared to the rest of the world, or is this just Airtel's doing of a little extra in the firmware/rom.
After running from WM to the iPhone, Ive finally made peace (hopefully) with the HTC Hero (Android). Being an avid Star Trek Fan...all I can say is I've got "Data" - what about you all
I did my little share of forum searching, but I couldnt find a single post regarding the Airtel HTC Hero (the last HTC Magic was locked with that stupid and insanely painful SPL), so my question begins with
1) Is the Airtel HTC Hero using another crazy SPL?
2) If so, what guide should I follow for unlocking (ability to ROM upgrade/change)
3) I can confirm that we are NOT locked to SIMCARDS - I can use my Idea Cellular Simcard just fine.
Added questions include - are there "Kitchens" like we used to have for Windows Mobile ?
Hope someone can help me out here - I'd love to be part of the ol' Cooking & Chef team
Nice to know that Airtel has brought in the latest version of the ROM.
Did you buy it with the Airtel dealer OR from a conventional distributor. At Bangalore, it is priced at 32K. How much did it cost you?? I am more of a palm guy...the palm pre just does not seem to come out.
I paid 33,600 actually Couldnt get a better deal and didn't want to wait a few more days since I'm off to USA tomorrow (rdosti = shivam)
Performance
Guys,
I am planning to buy Hero through Airtel and have a few questions,
1. Is the airtel version unlocked ?
2. Should I buy from Airtel or open market ?
3. Any reasons not to buy it ? Performance ? sluggishness ?
and lastly, is it simple to update the firmware, I am very keen on the new Android 2.0 update for the new google GPS app.
thanks in advance,
Jaspreet
Only the first part of 2.73.xxx.x bit matter. The "xxx.x" refer to carrier and regional customization, the ROM is basically the same.
have same phone, in China.
Hi,
Did you root the phone? I have the same phone, but i bought it in China for 3100 rmb. I'm trying, and im stuck on downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)

Well after much swithering I've decided to replace my iPhone 3G with an HTC HD2, I've gone for it over a Nokia N900 or Google Nexus One as it to me seems the better device than the N900 and also has worked out much cheaper than importing the N1 from the United States.
Couple of queries, its brand new and sealed from someone who upgraded on T-Mobile, does anyone know if T Mobile UK include the pouch for the HD2 that comes with it elsewhere?
Also what should I do first when I get my device, I know there are a wide range of ROM's and cooked ROMs, etc what is the best one to use?

I read somewhere that T-Mobile data can be restrictive in what it will and won't let you use, like IM clients, etc is this the case?

I bought a T-Mobile HD2 off the US Ebay site, and someone brought it to me. If you can, do that. Else get the Indian version HD2 - the difference being it has 512MB ROM as against 1GB ROM in the US version.

In Alpha in vile parle here in mumbai, I saw HD2 being sold for less than 19K more than one month ago. Ofcourse, these are without bill but new.
I was tempted to get another piece for myself
