Bit outdated mate. Dated 7th April 2009. Looks most likely like version 1.56 which has been incorporated into a lot of WM6.1 roms. However newer releases including 1.57 & 1.59 have been released. Latest cooked roms already include either 1.57 or 1.59
Shipped roms can be found in wiki here mate
not in date ?

If your phone if orange branded then this is the reason why HTC says the firmware update is not for your phone.

My new Touch HD came last week with this ROM on it - it's on T-Mobile but SIM unlocked. very stable, no major problems other than the fact I could do with a better radio support since the T-Mobile coverage where I am is lousy, but the Touch is still worse than my SonyEricsson W950i.
Will 1.57 or 1.59 ROMs help on the radio side ?
answer from HTC
Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. An IMEI check of your device indicated that it is an exclusive product, branded to the HT849KD09700 mobile network. SN :HT849KD09700 IMEI :3539xxxxxxxxxx Part Number :99HHCxxxxxxx Part Description :SKU,ORANGE,English-WWE,GBR,HTC,UMTS 900/2100,Regional_ID_Low,Sophisticate Black,w/SIM Lock,BLACKSTONE-A2 Customer Name :Orange P.C.S Limited We can only offer limited technical support for network branded handsets, as both software and hardware can be altered by the network provider. For this reason, contact your provider for any support that you might need, including repairs and software updates. As your handset is an exclusive product from a distributor, you will also not be able to get the HTC website support files as this is only for genuine original HTC branded devices.
Im asking orange now for more infomation
Please let us know how Orange responds. I too would like to try a new ROM update on my Orange TOuch HD.

I just changed the title to refelct the subject mater better.
You are facing the same problem as most of us which is why this site is loved so much.
In my case I have 1.14 German rom sold by sunrise.
My S/N also does not work on the 1.56 shipped roms from HTC.
They will also not sell me a WWE version of Blackstone.
So the only choice I have is to USPL / HSPL the device and get myself either a cooked or shiiped rom.
Now I am lucky as the branding of the device (flash screen, ect) is on no intrest to me, on top of that Sunrise gives me no add on Cabs that I need or even want.
My aprroaching sunrise has got me no were.
My hope is that you might get somewere and that we might beable to get a shipped rom that we can add to our collection.
Good luck
slightly off topic, but what is the difference between the WWE and European versions of the ROM available on the Wiki ? I'm currently on WWE 1.56 (T-Mobile UK) and have upgraded the radio from 1.13 to 1.14 without any effect. Wondering if the Europe version is any different, also wondering if it would help any of you locked onto Orange ?
no responce from orange
No responce from orange yet , will keep you guys upto date , chnaging the radio wont work on the Orange ROM , in the forum there are loads of folk who have kiled there phone and had to go back to " factory " settings .
I have written a letter of complaint to orange as they have said that there are no plans to release any updated ROM versions in the future. I await a call from orange complaints department. Im not expecting anything. If you put a non-orange ROM on your phone then you void your warranty. Great service me thinks not!
This is the latest rom from orange. check this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517803
still nothign
still nothing from orange, I cant see wht orange wont " upgrade " the rom , even HTC this fixes certain problems... I will ask them again and get back to you ..
This reminds me so much of a past experience I had with a phone network company. Yes it maybe Orange!!!
Same thing as you I wrote and wrote. In the end I got so fed up I upgraded with a custom rom that suited my needs. I DID however take note that by doing a custom rom/radio upgrade screwed the warrenty...HOWEVER I read on xda dev many threads on backing up the original rom along (and more importantly) HOW TO downgrade back incase the phone needed replacing via the Networks Warrenty.
Orange IMHO are the best network out there for many reasons. But I guess they are of the opinion, that as the rom that come with it works without too many customers complaining, then they won't and need not offer an update.
For the record. I updated to Miri v12 and have followed this rom genious for months. My Blackstone runs like a bullet from a gun, and is as reliable as I want. Everything works on it and I now know exactly HOW to downgrade the phone should it happen to go wrong and need to be shipped back to Orange for replacement....or repair.
Read....read and read some more...and you'll end up loving you Blackstone more than you would have.
I have just spoken to customer support. They are now saying that the first year of warranty is with HTC and that in her opinion they would not void the warranty if you install the official rom, even though HTC say the ROM upgrade is not compatible !?!
Yea I am having exactly the same problem, I did try two updated roms from the wiki, The WWE 1.59 and the EU 1.59 both worked as far as resetting my phone got to 1% and then came up on the PC screen to say it was not supported by my provider? Would I be able to use one of these roms and flash it using another method? I have seen a few other methods of doing it?
Also would it be benificial to just use a cooked rom if I can't get one from Orange? Would I still be able to connect into their network afterwards or would I need to input a whole lot of settings?

may be worth checking my posts at the end of the "Dummys guide...." in the ROM section and adding your voice
Cool thanks will do
Hi, I just got my Touch HD today.
I wanted to upgrade the ROM to the latest official ROM from HTC website, so i went to the HTC website to try and download the ROM, it ask's for the serial number of the phone, which i then entered, and it say's, "This software is not supported for this device". I tried different locations, e.g. Middle East, Africa, Europe, USA, ASIA, and still didnt work.
So i would like to know if anyone knows which versions of the Official HTC ROM is compatible and where can i get it? Or what other options do i have to update the ROM.
Vodacom South Africa.
Thanks
It's probably not a good idea to put all that info for the public (google) to see
so I suggest you edit you post and remove it....
anyway check out the rom forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
especially the stickies as they'll tell you what to do
But in a nut shell your problem is probably because you didn't buy your HD from htc
Mine's from orange and I have the same problem
if you look in the forum you'll find instructions to upgrade your rom
I found

by cRaCKwHoRe an absolute godsend
Thanks for the info.
Ok i managed to figure it out
used HSPL 156 and flashed to Official HTC ROM 1.57 WWE
seems to be working fine.
Thanks to the people of the forum.
Do you see any benefit compared to your previous ROM? Any change in radio performance?
Dear experts,
since a long time now I'm reading this forum and got many fantastic tipps, ROMs, etc. Unfortunately since yesterday my HTC Touch Cruise's (P3650) touchscreen doesn't react any more. Even hard reset, trying several ROMs (til yesterday I used M-Anime for more than 6 month without any problems), nothing could solve this problem
Therefore I need to send back the HTC to my distributor. However I've to restore original ROM & SPL. Before updating to M-Anime I made a copy of my ROM as suggested, but unfortunately in the meantime all my PC data were lost. So no ROM and even more no SPL. My last hope is this great forum!
To go back to original status I need IMHO following things:
If possible a short description of necessary steps
Original WM 6.0 GERMAN ROM (Version: Bought my HTC in March 2008 / Orginal HTC - no branding)
Original SPL (have installed Hard-SPL at the moment)
Everything what I forgot so far
Many thanks for your help & support in advance,
cheers

PS. I tried to read all threads regarding original rom, but either it's not the correct version or the download link is down ...
hi
direkt von HTC > WM 6.1

Hey Reko,
thanks for your prompt answer. Thought that this upgrade needs original WM 6.0 ROM ... nevertheless installation worked and I've the original HTC WM 6.1 installed now. In this regard one question, just to clarify. The HTC WM 6.1 is an official release and therfore guarantee keeps untouched, right?
And second thing, now I've to restore the original SPL, I tried to check all relevant threads, but I'm still not sure what to do and where to get it. Could anyone help?
Again many thanks for your support,
cheers
ToBe76
1. flash the spl-restore and verify manually in bootloader if the SPL 1.25.xx got flashed
2. flash again the wm6.1 because it has newer SPL than the SPL-restored
if that fails..
1. flash wm6.0 rom + radiorom
2. flash spl-restore
3. keep it as is, or update wm6.1
Hi c3ro,
thanks for your support. Will try do follow your steps and in case of further problems get back.
Thx & cheers

Does anyone know where I can get the 3 UK 2.1Android Rom (other than an officicalOTA Update. So many Roms on the forums but I can't find this one. I really want it.
Thanks,
The updates are done through OTA. The only released Official Genuine 2.1 RUU ROMS is for WWE version not 3(Three), Orange, T-Mobile e.t.c.
What you need to do is try find a 3(Three) RUU 1.5/1.6.
A quick google shows me you also posted on other forums,
http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/185986-3-uk-rom-androd-2-1-update-help-please.html
You have also been told what to do over at androidforums.com. Get someone on the 3(Three) network to download the official HTC 3(Three) RUU ROM from HTC UK Support Page.
Radio?
Does anyone know what version of radio the official Three UK 2.1 update uses?
I've been holding off on upgrading to the radio from the WWE RUU since orange users reported problems with theirs.
Thanks
android 2.1 3 network
my LG GT540 is v1.6 is there a 3 network rom out
Hi i have an unbranded HTC HD Mini. It's running ROM 1.36.401.1 (94538) WWE
I have a few issues with the phone a thte moment - crashes, tweet not working and the battery going from 90%-70% in 5 minutes with no progs running (i've changed the battery already) and thought i would upgade the ROM.
The HTC site has become useless, no ROM downladas, etc. Their suport people basically where no help.... so....
Which ROM is the latest official ROM for the device (UK/Europe, no carrier, although i currently have an O2 SIM) and where can i get it from (all links on google back to htc.com do not currently work as htc.com redirects everything to a generic help page).
I have not used a custom ROM before and m not toally against the idea as long as it works, Co-pilot will install and it's stable!
i have seen a link to the shipped ROMS list, but havent got a clue what all the code names are ad which one is correct fort he HD Mini.
thanks
If you need English ROM it seems RUU_Photon_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.36.479.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe is the latest one.
thanks, thats great.
Is there any reason not to use the 1.38 version from o2 or the v1.41 from voafone? both UK.
i have no idea what additiona functionality they have, but i thik carriers tend to turn bits from the stock rom off dont they?
There is no much differences between roms.
For you reason (fix the battery issue) any rom could be good.
And you could apply any other rom if one is not suits you.
