HTC is NOT planing to upgrade TD2 in India - As per a CALL with HTC...
I was abvle to download from Europe site. (http://www.htc.com/europe/)
You can also try or get any WWW rom and install. That should work.
PS: The India site is maintain by HTC Twain group
Thanks.
South Africa is also not going to be getting an upgrade by the looks of things... i find that ridiculous. why not just let us install the UK versions...it's the same language after all...
sigh.
Why this stepmotherly treatment to some countries?
Btw, has anyone downloaded the UK version? Does it work?

HT97TL102778 appears to be working.
Has anyone installed a UK / Europe ROM on an Asiapac device? Does it work?
Called up HTC customer care number 1800113377
asked them about "when we will get the update?". Lady on the phone clearly said "we ARE going toget the update". we just have to wait little bit more.
the update is ready with them and it is the HTC HQ's call when to release the update.
bottom line is "wait and watch http://www.htc.com/in/support.aspx"
Regards,
Geo

hi again guys. South African ROM released end of last week. www.leaf.co.za
i've heard from a few of my Indian friends (living in S.A) that they were able to access and download the official ROM with their phones that came from India (after registering).
maybe that works for you guys?
Hi
Just tried registering at the SA HTC site - it works - was able to download the ROM...

Update Failed
I guess my happiness was short lived - after a couple of steps the updater failed saying invalid vendor ID - nearly gave me an heart attack - the phone was showing some multicolored screen... - At least it did boot back to WM 6.1 later...
Please post if anyone else has success in updating the phone...

DAMN! i'm sorry to hear about your scare...i kinda feel responsible, having suggested the idea!
may I ask why you are avoiding installing a cooked or even OFFICIAL (as in UK version) ROM? are you worried about guarantee? or the risk of damaging your phone? Because if so, then i am gladly willing to walk any1 through the steps you need to take to get it running.
Guide me pls..
drag-on.. i'll b happy if u could guide me thro the steps , i was kinda scared to install a cooked rom on my HTC diamond2 till now coz while trying to do the same with my HTC touch i bricked my mobile a year back..
and i couldnt find a proper step by guide for doin this.. in every thread regarding the same somebody or the other is getting into problems..
so pls illustrate a proper step by step guide on the procedures of installin a ROM on a factory HTC touch diamond2..
I'll be glad to. what i would then rather do is send you a private message with the steps, so that we don't clutter the forums and have snide comments from senior members about how "easy" it all is. (they ARE right, but i know the first time is scary)
i'm going partying now, but i'll be glad to send you (and any1 else who asks for a private message) step by step instructions tomorrow.
what you can do in the mean time, is have a look at which ROM you think you might want (i'll add my suggestions anyways) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=486
thanks dude..
thanks for the help dude.. i'll go thro that documents now..
lookin forward to ur message..

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?
After installing the new 1.66 ROM, is it necesarry to install the peviously released hotfixe's, or are these already implemented in the newest ROM?
Already integrated.
Depending on your language, however, the latest SMS fix (of 24/01) has to be applied, too. If you are using a cooked rom with 1.66 base you'll also have to install the latest SMS hotfix.
Doesn't say it's for the UK WWE 1.66 ROM and it's not on the UK support page so not gonna bother unless it appears...I delete every SMS after reading anyway so never been an issue...
EDIT: OK, I lie it is there, didn't see it beneath the ROM update itself. Might give it a go, can't hurt can it?

If you are using the version they have in their support section, you as UK client don't need to apply it .
It is in the support page BUT if you click on the download button it goes back to the Support front end so guessing it's not needed as I've got the new ROM...

It normally states in the update which ROM it applies to. Which means that all of them (excluding the Valendar View) don't need to be applied to 1.66.
The only one which doesn't is the Calendar View update which says
"Note: This update is only applicable to all ROM Version" now I don't beleive this as they would surely apply it to a ROM.
Maybe someone else can help whith this one.

Yes, because the UK version has been released AFTER the SMS update, you are already good to go and fully updated. However, in other countries the ROM update came earlier and the new SMS fix is probably not in those yet.
Thanks for the help.
I'm on the Norwegian ROM, so i guess I'm ok then. (Sms update has been removed from HTC site after the ROM update came out.)

I second that. Send a mail to HTC yesterday to make sure the WWE rom update I was about to download already contained previous updates and they replied that it wasn't necessary to install them again. (It was in Dutch so that's why I'm not attaching the mail).
what version after hard-reset?
i have a question. I had update the ROM with the 1.66 version. If i now execute a hard-reset what version should i be with? 1.43 (original) or 1.66?

1.66 (if flashed officially).
and via HSPL?
HSPL = Hard (flashed) SPL so it will be 1.66 still..
Thanks!
Greetings to you all...
I apologise ahead of time, my noobness is about to show through...
I will be getting my HD2 on the 3rd from Phones4U with a Vodafone contract and will be wanting to do the ROM update to 1.66. I am wondering about the following things:
1. Has this gone wrong for anyone and should it go wrong what is the fix?
2. Having never done this before and not wanting to get it wrong - does the downloaded update have all the tools I need to do the update? Or is there a specific piece of software I need from HTC?
3. Tried to follow this thread regarding the new SMS update and am not sure regarding the outcome - if I am on ROM 1.66 do I need to do the SMS update as well?
Thanks in advance for all willing to answer what are probably basic question - this is my first real smartphone and I am keen beyond belief but also do not want to mess it up...
P.S. Is there a manual in the box? (ROLL ON WEDNESDAY!)
Scott (In anticipation)
Double post - sorry!
Hi,
I got my HD2 from Dial-A-Phone (Phones4U) and it was an unlocked version so all updates from HTC are available. It'll likely come with the 1.48 ROM on it so first thing to check is whether this is correct. Go into Settings>About phone>Software version and it'll be in there.
Assuming yu are on 1.48 then go to the HTC UK support site and download the ROM update from the 25/01/2010. The other updates are rolled into this so you don't need them.
HTC UK Support - HD2
Now, charge up your phone and connect to your PC. If using Vista/Windows 7 it should recognise it being a Windows Phone and connect up using the Windows Mobile Device Center. Once done, make sure it says connected and then run the ROM file (which is an .exe file) and follow the instructions.
If, however, the phone is already on 1.66 then nothing more is needed!!
Excellent - really appreciate your feedback - I am, for once, wishing my weekend away so that Wednesday will get here quicker...

Hi, how can you tell if your HD2 is unlocked?
Hello, i have a htc hd2 on tmobile, but the phone its self isnt marked as t-mobile anywhere on it.
I selected to mobile
htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=936
and entered my S/N but it said my model isnt supported!
Why is this? will it do any harm to get the rom elsewhere and download it anyway? im guessing the S/N check is there to make sure that i dont download it for a reason.
Is there anywhere i can get the 1.72 rom for mmy phone? i am currenttly on 1.66 rom.
Thank You
i also have a HD2 without any branding visible, yet when i entered my s/n it went straight through...
however, the 1.72 rom i downloaded was a tmobile branded rom...perhaps the s/n are pre-registered to tmobile from the htc factory???
UK Vodafone
Here is the link for the Vodafone 1.77....

could i please have the serial number youve used so i can download? i dont see what the difference is between mine and a t-mobile bought one, the hardware and software is still the same.
go look in rom development section, leo official roms thread, first post first link, all the branded and unbranded stock roms.
sorry, i cant find the s/n in that post, there are hundreds of pages!
I want to be safe and download direct from theri website really.

I think he was trying to direct you here..........
You'll find the rom you need in here without having to use a s/n...
They're exactly what you'd get from the HTC site, for some reason the download from HTC keeps cutting out so I'm just getting it from here.
Hope that helps......
ok, thank you very much!
ive just downloaded the TMO UK 1.72 and tried flashing it, but i recieve an invalid vendor ID error message.
I recieve a text from t-mobile today, telling me that i can update my phone to this rom, so i dont see why it shouldnt be compatible!
Any way of forcing it to flash?
p.s i bought this phone online as a generic phone from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk.
I am on contract with t-mobile
any ideas?
what is the HTC_HD2_RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_172 rom?
It over 395 people have downloaded it, is this a generic one? it seems to be a higher version to the tmobile one which i have been advised to update too.
Thanks
As far as I know wwe is the generic one, i cant give you an answer as to whether thats the one you need or not, if it wont let you flash the T-Mo rom then I'd guess you need the wwe, like I said I'm not sure though.....
ok, ill see how it goes. It is slightly annoying tho, does the t-mobile rom give you better reception? im just thinking that if i switch to a generic rom, then there wont be the specific t-mobile radio anymore. (if there is such a thing!)
I get the same error message... Invalid vendor ID!...
.............................................
Omg whats happened! My phone has got stuck on the htc screen!!
It didnt even flash anything it said! What can i do!!??
Sorry to hear that, i notice your other post saying a hard reset fixed it....
I guess your going to need to read through a lot of threads to find out which rom you need for your phone, the answer will be in here somewhere......... sorry i cant help you any more than that...

Hi,
there's a new upgrade for orange tattoos but i can't download it. Someone can test it and confirm what all people think??
htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=292&cat=2&dl_id=948
Sorry my english
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599711&page=17
Just for Orange branded mobiles...nothing new...
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Any Orange Tattoo users out there willing to share this ROM?
the link is
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=948&news_id=653
But we need the S\N from one of the Orange Branded Tattoo's. You can't download it otherwise.
Ok... just to show that there is no problem sending the s/n.
If yoy try HT99PLG01xxx with xxxx = 0-9 and play a little with
numbers you can find a lot of compinations where the result is
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
but the s/n is for tattoo. Just one from orange give as how the
pattern look like.
segway
I don't want someone's S\N but at least someone from the uk download it and put it on megaupload or rapidshare.
Maybe its difficult for someone to upload it to some server...
To give us a patttern is just 1 minute job...
seg
HT99PLG01xxx is only 999 phones... im sure there is more in uk

Just tested it.
1) Backed it up existing rooted 1.67.405.xx with Nandroid
2) Upgraded with ROM Upgrade for HTC Tattoo (Orange)
3) Applied UNLOCK code bought from Orange UK which worked fine with new ROM
4) Rolled back nandroid backup
I am happy now.
Did not notice anything new, again Google Apps was not there again. Now thinking about Paul's ROM.
