Battery - HD2 General

I want to do a rom update, but the HTC website says i need the serial number for it. I looked up were i could find it and they said it was under my battery. But how do i get it out, i don't have that paperthing under it anymore, it looks impossible for me?

It does come out, but you don't need to do that to get the serial number.
Go to the settings tab, scroll all the way down and select "About". Then select "Phone Identity" and scroll down to see the serial number (S/N).

Okay thanks but now i get a new problem, it says my device is not suitable for this software. I got a Dutch Htc Hd 2 so i don't get why it's nog letting me download it.

Is your HD2 SIM free, or is it from your telco?

Well i'm a real newb at this point, i always had an old prepaid sony ericsson. But i have an subscription with vodafone. (Sorry for my bad English)

That's fine mate - you're making perfect sense. Your English is good.
The ROMs on the HTC site are for unbranded phones (SIM free). You will need to use Goldcard to install the new ROM. Read this thread to learn about it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591239
I'm afraid I can't advise you on the Goldcard, as I myself have never used it. Lots of others have though, so I'm sure they'll help if you get stuck.
Good luck

Okay, thanks for your fast posts . I'll see what i'm going to do.

Tmobile settings: where can I find them

So, you hard reset your device, you do the softreset to avoid all the branding rubbish and .... your phone won't work because you don't know the password to the internet connection settings and so on.
Question is: where can I find the t-mobile settings, web and walk included?
TIA!
There is a website I found recently called Google.com . It's some kind of search engine. If you enter "t-mobile uk gprs" and hit search it comes up with loads of links. not sure if the first one helps. Try it out.

Ah-ha. You must feel like a big man now.
Plus, you're wrong, they are not that easy to find. Looking at the first links on the search string you gave, they all list the username for the t-mob connection as being 'user', whereas mine is 't-mobile'.
here it is - but they dont work on some (ch) roms,works fine on my rom with web n walk
For USA T-Mobile users, here it is:
Just in case you want to add them in manually TMobile and all the UK service providers details can be found in this post over at the 4WinMobile.com website.

How do I install from this cab file?
Not sure if it'll work on your device, but give this a go:
V
Vijay, maybe you want to rename the file to GPRSsettings ?
Hi guys, thanks very much for all the replies!
Signed_UNI_TMO_Connection_112100.CAB did the trick. I didn't seem to need the other file (MMS settings). The only other file I had to fish out of the extended rom is the long_dtmf one. If you don't put that on and try to dial a number, the phone hangs on keypresses :lol:
I'll let you know if I see any other required cab I might have missed. So far the phone is behaving slightly faster - not as big of a difference as I've seen on the O2 branded ones (which hurt from all the crap 02 leaves on them).
Cheers!
Would also like to add, without all the tmobile stuff from the extended rom, my battery life has doubled. Brilliant!

if U want to not install branding rubbish, after calibrating touch screen, ppc starts installig. U've got some 3seconds to softreset(small black hole below usb connector) press it and trick is done. Other way use ext_rom unlocker (www.buzzdev.net) remove or move (move is better, there are gprs,mms and other settings in .cab files, U'll figure it out which of them U need) all **** from ext_rom and hard reset

New 67.5 MB update from HTC

I just discovered a new update for the Shift - this time in the telephone software section.
My download using GMS will take about six hours...
Any experiences with this update???
Axel
Where?
Where can you see that update? In HTC official web-page I haven't found anything like that...
Hi,
you can find it in HTC Club. To go there you have to register first. I've just read it and I do not really understand it. It sounds to me as if they talked about a different device. And I think my ROM to be newer than the one they offer there. But as I said it does not make sense to me.
It is so strange. They talk of start and settings and usb connection and so on, but that is not supposed to work unless it was liberated. So that's why I do not understand what they are talking about. Can anyone clarify?
S.
I have nothing in "Phone software updates"
or should I look elsewhere?!

Hi,
you find it in HTC Clulb. Go to "My Downloads" and then "Phone Software Update". And there you see the a picture of the Shift.
I don't want to install it, because the instruction says that everything is lost and I am under the impression that the software is older than the one on my Shift.

Hi Einsiedler,
do you really want to install the download? Isn't the ROM in your Shift newer than the one you are downloading? I compared the screenshot on the page with the information I found in Snapvue. Cannot find the "device information" when I go over "start" and "settings". Isn't all very strange as this possibility isn't supposed to work? I do not get it.
S.
I'll download it (still three hours left) and check this page again tomorrow morning.
Resetting the WM side would at least give me another 14 days playing with the Palm emulator...

Can you download it and then upload it ?
No need to install it, but we could take a look at the file and see what it is exactly. It seems that only germans can see it (why?) so we need one of you to download it and upload somewhere
thank you !

Very strange update indeed. It seems that it is for the German version Shift only and furthermore for older ROM-Versions. The ROM-Version to compare in a picture shown is dated 05/10/07 (Number 1.06.405.1 WWE). My Shift is one of the first delivered in Germany and its ROM-Version is 1.30.407.0 GER) - so it seems to be way younger then the one in the illustration.
Before downloading the 67,5 MB-file you have to confirm a serious warning that any program or data stored by you will be lost after installing the update. If you confirm - did it on my notebook, not on the Shift! - you get the message: "This will install TM2008_GER Version 16.00.1449 on your computer."
"TM" apparently means "Trend Micro" because the file creates the folder "Trend Micro" and expands itself therein to the folder "setup". So IMO it's only an update of the internet security software. By the way: I run "Trend Micro" and my version number is 16.10.1106 - way younger than the download version as well.
So what? Another example of the strange behaviour of a strange company. That's all.

PS: I was unable to upload the file ("Database error").

I'm not german so dont have the file in htcclub
but if you are sure it is TM then lol.
you can still upload it to rapidshare.com, i'd like to see it.
(the xda-devs attachments can't be larger than 8MB, that's why your upload failed)
For the Phone software update, if you've register a htc smartphone or wm phone, the update is for those phones.
If you registered shift only, there's no update software inside the PSU !
here you find the screenshot from the htc webste (htc e-club):
http://rapidshare.com/files/112150020/htc.jpg.html
here you can download the file: http://rapidshare.com/files/112149681/TM2008_GER.exe.html
yeah that screenshot explains, it is a generic page that the phone update software link will show you if there is an update.
but I guess they intended this trendmicro thing for the other downloads section, they just made an error and uploaded it to phone update section.
in my country they'd call this thread "storm in a glass of water"
i agree.....
Hi,
so things seem to have become much clearer and I do not have to upload the file anymore. Seems that some of you folks do not need any sleep.
I do not know too much about all these things, but apparently I was right that it was a very strange update, as it isn't an update at all or a falsely declared one.
In the tread "HTC sucks" someone made the suggestion to start a blog in which to make public the ridiculous support of HTC. As I said I do not know enough about the way to do these things, but done it should be. HTC really, really sucks when it comes to support. I have sent them several emails. Nothing but a standardized answer that they will answer in some cosmic future.
S.
This update has Nothing to do with WM rom!
The setup file unpacks to ...program files/trend micro/... and so I aborted the installation. No bad results, but waste of time.
Have a nice and sunny weekend.

HTC HD2 T-Mobile UK problems

Hi, searched high and low on here. Does anyone have an idea of what serial number would be of an unlocked HTcHD2 from what HTC call Europe 1? I am useless at ROM/tech stuff. HTC won't let me upgrade my ROM as my phone is Tmobile locked. My biggest problem with this is that Tmobile will not release any updated ROMs because it would unlock the Youtube app in HD2. Why? God only knows. I just want my phone to work as HTC intended and get value for money both with technical support and features. If anyone can help would appreciate greatly.

After you've done the above you also need to remove the proxy server; which T-mob settings put in by default.
( Comm Manager -> Menu -> Connections. Under T-Mobile, Set up proxy server. Uncheck "This network uses e Proxy Server..." )
goto t-mobile directly..its what i did unlock straight from them the best and the safest way of a guaranteed code, but you will have to be with them for more than a month to get the code this is with HD2..
T-Mobile charges £15 pounds to give you a unlock code.
If you now a friend who works for T-Mobile than you can ask him and see if he can give you the unlock code
why are people telling the OP to unlock the phone? thats not the issue or part of what they wanted to do
If he wants it how HTC intended it then unlocking it is part of it
But if the OP is on T-Mobile then it's not an issue, just HSPL it and away you go!!

seems to be last O2 released rom, as well?
So - this is nothing new then.......................
I have emailed HTC to see what they are say.
I hate HTC for that. Why do they always release something and name it after sth. completely different. After a couple of customer-complaints and corrections they will change the information... Are there only idiots at work?
It was the same with ALL branded ROMs here in GER, and the famous SMS-Hotfix is still a RADIO...
HTC, you should rather care for your customers than going to court vs. Conflipper... and your E-Mail-support - it seems that the only condition to get an engagement in your customer support is being able to breathe autonomously... when I came from SE to HTC, I thought customer care could only become better - but HTC is just a whole freakin' mess...
BTW: a 2.07-ROM for EUR woud have been strange anyway...
Sorry, for getting OT...
lol, maybe it's a response test on us lot, , see how quickly it gets found when they put something on the server,
So is this really just a Radio upgrade? Because I'm currently on Stock 1.66 WWE Rom with Radio 2.10.50.07 from Middle East & Africa HTC site.

Chevron after reflash? Activation Code limit?

I got my activation code a couple minutes ago and decided to swap out my 2gb sd card for a 16gb one. After I popped it in, I had to setup my phone again, which I figured would happen, but then it said something about low storage, so I figured I needed to reflash the rom so WP7 would partition the new sd card in whatever manor it does.
My question is, now that I have an activation code, do I need to run Chevron and unlock the phone again or can I just put the activation code in and start downloading apps? My only concern is I've now used my activation code twice, so I don't want to hit the limit without doing this all correctly :/
AFAIK, it associates your IMEI with your Live account, so it should just work..
I find it hard to believe that the activation code will stop working if you try to use it again with the same live account.
I did reflashm, and activation code worked no problem

Some mentioned it in a thread at one point, but I've read that people have used their code 3 or even 5 times, so I may just be overly paranoid about it haha.

Just tried it and it works fine! Thanks so much man
One last question: Since I put my new sd card in before reflashing, did that mess up how WP7 partitions it when I eventually did reflash? Or was WP7 not recognizing the new sd card anyway since it was put in after the initial flash, causing WP7 to not see it, hence the "low storage" message I ended up getting?
I have used it at least 5 times over. I doubt you will have any issues. Its just the code associated to your account. They dont monitor that, its just a key for service.

I agree.. i think it's linked to your Live ID.. So when you sell the phone, the buyer should get a new key from MS for his Live ID and you can use the same key for your new phone. Correct me if am wrong.

You need to do the registry hack so your phone is recognized as a HD7 t9292
the support guy told me to place the code at a safe place because i can use the code again if i need after a phone reset or something else
so i think there is no limit

It may depend on who you talk to. I called after I ran Chevron, so in the settings in my phone it said "HD7", though I'm not 100% sure if that makes a difference.
I called, they asked for me first name, then last name, then phone number, and then if I have ever called MS before. They asked what the problem was, I said I'm trying to add my @live email and go to the Marketplace, but it says I need an activation code and I don't know what that is. The woman asked if I was using WP7 and I said yes. She said something along the lines of "Ohhh, ok, that's why you need the code." She said it would take a minute to generate one for me, so I waited a bit and she asked what brand my phone was. I said HD7 and she seemed confused, so I then said HTC HD7 and she understood that. A couple minutes later she read the code to me so I could write it down, then I read it back to her to double check and that was it!
I've read about other people having to give numbers from the back of the phone or other specific details, but I didn't have to do any of that for whatever reason

I figured I'd have to do that reg hack. I may wait a bit though just to see if it ends up working anyway for whatever reason.
Thanks so much guys!

You do have to hack the registry so your phone appears as a HD7... A lot of apps won't download until you do that. There's directions all over to do that. There shouldn't be any wait time after getting your code. If your phone doesn't appear as a HD7 when you look at the info on your phone, you will get that message when trying to download apps.
seems live id can't be deleted
