thanks

Sorry, I happened to be in a bad mood
a not so official one :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13045&highlight=orange+upgrade
This may not be much help to you at present, but Orange are working on a new ROM, to address the repeated hard resets being experienced by some M1000's. They are into final testing so release should not be far away.
thanks, sorry for not searching.
NeilM - do you know what version(s) of all the roms Orange are releasing? Ie will it even be worth upgrading to it? I have the hacked rom installed and its ok for me now but its a company fon so official rom is best!
Sorry if other people have already seen this, I did a search and couldn't find anything. I just noticed that T-Mobile have released (via HTC) an official UK (and Germany and Czech Republic) a 1.72 version of the ROM for the HD2 on the 26th April 2010 (2 days ago).

Im installing now...where do I find that info ? biggest noob of em all
Is this just for T Mobile usres as the name sugests??
Im on O2, completely new to Winmo and smart phones at that!!!
Not rele sure what i need to do, but im trying to sort things out.
No to 3.5..... shocker
Manila 2012 but I can't see any differences over the former 1920..... please feel free to correct me
Personally, I can't see / feel many if any decent changes.......
If you install, your phone will be as you originally received it (save the updated software) so you will have to re-install everything...
If I had the previous 1.43 I would flash back...
I havent added anything as yet as i only had it since monday!!
Sorry to sound dumb, was is flash back??
Then you have nothing to worry about....
is there some sort of changelog for this?
please do report on what its like, particularly stability and messaging
then i might do my first HD2 flash...
i upgraded from original 1.43 stock rom and must say its a lot smoother than before, doesnt freeze up as much very little lagging.
no real difference in battery life, maybe a touch better but the main difference for me is that HTC messaging works instead of me having to rever back to wm messaging.
also, it came with .net 3.5 so i dont know why others have said it doesnt.
well im sold!
will DL and flash tonight!
thanks for the report jonyid
Any Ideas
Hi Guys
I cant seem to be able to download the T-Mobile rom from HTC's site. When I enter my serial number the site says that Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. Yet I am a UK user on T-Mobile with rom version 1.66.405.2 what am I doing wrong?

What ROM are you using, as T-MobUK have only had 1.43 and now 1.72?
I am also with T-MobUK but I quickly dumped ROM 1.43, HSPL'd and went for the HTC standard WWE 1.66 ROM. Since T-MobUK 1.72 is WWE1.66 with T-Mob bloatware added, then there is no point updating.
If you really want the 1.72 ROM, I'll get it for you.
Hi Please ignore above I have just discovered even though I bought my phone as a t-mobile one it is in fact the unlocked phone, so am I right in understanding that the latest rom for my phone (according to HTC's Site) is 166.405.2

I recently upgraded my Tmobile 1.43 Rom to the new 1.72.110.4 from the HTC website. So far it seems to be ok. Not much of a difference: Solitaire and Bubble breaker have been added, You Tube, Bing search and one or two additions as well. Most importanly however is the performance of the HTC messaging program. I used PIM back toback up for my text messages, contacts, calender. Ugraded the ROM, (took about 10mins or less) and restored text messages from the back up file.
Restore process showed me 7000+ texts copied to the device. Restarted the device, checked messaging and got the "restoring messages" status bar. Took about 1 hour since then, I have noticed a marked improvement in the HTC messaging application. Can now continue using the phone even when a text comes in, can delete without having to wait ages for the device to start up again.
BTW I have some apps installed: TomTom 6, Swype, Skype, TCPMP player, Registry editor, etc.
Hope that information helps or encourages someone!
does anyone know if its possible to go back to the 1.43 ROM??? (just curious....)
Noob question here... as I have flashed my device and installed a custom ROM (or many) already will this take HSPL off my device? Will it be ok to do the normal install or will it brick my device?
I'm just trying to get my phone back to stock Rom levels as I need to return it to Tmobile and this is the only place I've managed to find the TmobileUK stock ROM.
Help? Please?!
Can anyone help with this at all? Please?!
Hi, appolgies for being completly stupid, If someone can help me i will be very grateful!
I have an orange network locked hero. After getting tired of waiting I attempted to debrand by installing the generic HTC rom ...
RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver
With the idea of installing and letting the OTA update occur...
So i installed goldcard tool created and image. and then installed the htc image.
2.1 is now installed but have the network locked message.
I considered trying to unlock via one of the vendors on ebay, but decided it probably wouldnt work so decided to roll back to the orange rom.
By mistake I ran this update which i believe is the HTC 2.1 update
RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R_Radio_63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.11_release_signed
Now when i try an run the orange uk 2.73.61.66 release I am getting an error message 140 bootloader version error.
The phone isnt rooted, is there any way I can roll back or unlock 2.1. Am i going to have to call orange an confess?
Please help!!!!

There is a STICKY at the top of the G2 Hero Development section called Villain Roots 2.1 RUU,.. tried that?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
By doing this would it allow me to reflash the original orange image?
Sorry for being dim, finding all this a bit confusing!
root it via that guide, put in a radio that works with orange sim cards, and you should be good to go
Use this guide: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=2096
Once done you can reflash the original official orange release.
Apologies for being thick...
So I have gsm root running, phone in recovery. What do i do next?
Do i have to flash the rom on using nandroid - never used this before.
try this method - its easier
tinyurl DOT com/3242ljv
you'l need to remake the link as newbies cant post links
Tried the simplified version.
When I try and run the zip file it says it cannot open the file and says it is bad.
Tried a couple of times and with both orange updates..
Arghhh!
Try using a different SD card - hboot couldn't find HEROIMG.zip on one card, tried another and hey presto!
Well in the process of trying to get the orange 1.5 build back on i have got 2.1 working!
Tried flashing an older radio on there and gues what it works. I've now got the standard htc 2.1 build on an orange uk contract, network locked handset.
Quite pleased with myself!

Hi,
Please could you give us the radio version you installed, and how you did it. You'll find the version under Settings > About Phone > Software information > Baseband version.
Many thanks,
The radio version i'm using is
update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06_6.35.05.15-signed
I tried the one before that also which worked.(Basically I started from the oldest one and worked my way up)
I tried the two most recent ones first and these didn't work (Network Locked)
Hope that helps
I've noticed Orange have started rolling out the preupdate, think i might as well stick with the htc build.
Cheers
Hello,
I recently bought HTC wildfire from Vodafone, Germany. It was unlocked, but of course with Vodafone branding. I installed ClockworkMod to root it and then i flashed a new ROM from sd card. I installed 1.37.405.1, using an apply method from ClockworkMod application. I took the ROM from Wildfire forum at MoDaCo site.
The update was successful, and Vodafone branding disapeared, but....there are still few minor things that i don't understand. For example, i have Vodafone scene which lists under HTC scenes, which is impossible to delete or every time i open browser, it starts with vodafone.de, which is default link, and again i cannot change.
How is it possible? I mean, i have new updated ROM, so where my Wildfire keep this old Vodafone settings?
Any help or some info will be appreciated.
thanks,
Gil.
It's probably related to the SiM. Try inserting another one, see if it stays the same...
I purchased two alledgedly sim free Wildfires from Voda uk, though minus bloatware, I get a Voda start up screen. I wonder if its possible to interrogate the phones internal memory with My Computer and delete the images... I did this with a few nokias back in the day.

did you reset data and cache when you installed new rom?
I did not reset any data or cache. I never heard of it before, i just flashed new ROM and that's it. Can you explain please what i was supposed to do?
I will try new SIM later, doubt that vodafone scene that is visible under HTC scenes list, are taken from SIM...but who knows. thanks.
Hi all,
I was wondering if you had any info at all? I can see that version 3.14.206.1 is availible for t-mobile, orange etc in the UK, but good old O2 still show v 1.72.
I spoke to O2 today who said that they have version 3.14 live.
She sent me an email with a URL in it, but that URL goes to the download page on the HTC site for version 1.72.
I called back and the advisor 'Ben' I spoke to, and the technical team were all adament that O2 had made version 3.14.206.1 live weeks ago and it should be on the site.
I told them that I had been checking for weeks and had not seen it go live, and that I had not heard about it on this and other HTC forum sites. They argued that it was there and that HTC may have taken it down? Surely HTC will tell me to go away as I am not a direct customer of theirs and that I have a vendor locked phone and send me back to O2 for me to go around in circles again?
They now tell me I need to contact HTC direct as the link goes to their site. A copy of the email is below :
Thank you for your recent handset enquiry regarding software on your handset. Please find details of how to upgrade your handset software to version ROM: 3.14.206.1 below.
Visit the HTC website and follow the instructions.
Upgrade URL: htc . com /uk /SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=937&news_id=636 (sorry had to format it as it would not let me post URLS)
We hope this has answered your question. Please note that replies to this email will not be actioned.
As far I know the 3.14 O2 stock rom version isn't available jet. I know that O2 have update the rom for the HD Mini but for the HD2 nothing to find.
Well I really hope they pull their fingers out! If not I may have to put Android on it...
I have used O2 for over 8 years and they have always been slow to get ROM updates up, but in the last few years they have been terrible!
O2 (UK): 3.14.206.1, O2(Germany): 3.14.207.1
Maybe old news but just saw that 18.2.2011 a new HD2 O2 rom is being offered at HTC: http://tinyurl.com/new-O2-ROM-3-14
The latest o2 update is on the HTC website htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1088&news_id=871
but as per usual im gonna miss that update as my phones being repaired
please let me know whether it makes the phone any faster thanks =D
hmm strange that it still doesnt show up on the regular support - hd2 - downloads list on htc.com
Typical O2 to be the last to release, and still get it wrong.
Mirror download link.
In case of; here you have a mirror download link of the; O2 (UK): 3.14.206.1
Thanks to the collaboration of samsamuel
Have fun.
=========== WARNING ====================
PLEASE DO NOTupgrade to new rom for HTC-HD2 for o2 3.14.206.1
it is not stable . freezes!
Even HTC sense crashes!
No problems on mine.
thank you
Very true, for me it was actually a stepback, not an upgrade. My phone was very buggy for the entirety of the 3 days I had it on. I've downgraded to the 1.72 Rom I had before and everything is fine once again.

still got hspl installed?
I upgraded over a week ago. I'm very happy with it. No bugs apparent, and much better battery life.
Upgrade O2 to 3.14
I upgraded my 14 month old HD2 to O2 ROM 3.14.206 two weeks ago.
No problem with the upgrading process.
Since then my battery life has been considerably improved, the HD2 has been completely stable, and access to the internet using Opera 10 has been much better than before. I'm absolutely delighted!
Same here, excelent upgrade, in fact the HD2 is so good now that I do not spend more than 2 weeks playing with Nokia N8 and rush back to my old trusty HD2!
nice post thank you
just updated, wifi issues i believe but everything else seems fine
O2 ROM upgrade for a T-Mobile HD2
Hi all. I've got a bit of a problem in that I flashed my HD2 from T-Mobile to O2 after unlocking it to any network. This means that subsequent ROM upgrades are difficult to come by unless the file is posted here. When I visit the HTC site and attempt to download the upgrade, firstly I have to enter the phone's serial number which HTC have on record as being a T-Mobile unit originally. This kicks me out of the O2 ROM upgrade download screen.
Does anyone have access to the file that they could post here for me please. I'd be hugely grateful.
Very many thanks

[REF] Leo Official ROMs found in 6.5 rom development. first post first link, all teh stock roms are there,
your phone will always be rom locked to t mo. the htc website will never let you download anything but t mo roms.
since you have hspl, you dont need to stick to stock roms, you have already unlocked it for flashing custom roms.
There is a download link of the ROM in post 7
