Im just in the process of installing all the hotfixes for this phone and ive managed to install all but one; the sim contacts update.
When I try to install this over active sync it brings up a rom utility to upgrade the rom.
It also says it will delete all the data on the phone (which is expected from a rom upgrade)
Is this hotfix supposed to actually updgrade my rom???
Will it actually remove all my data?
Cheers Guys,
Crapbag
there is a threat about this already, yes it updates and no it wont delete the data
thanks Richy

I just upgraded to the latest ROM's supplied by O2 (3.17.03), and now active sync says my backup was made with the wrong version of software.
Is there any way to get the data back on to my XDA? In particular my contacts, as they will be the hardest to replace?
If not, is it possible to go back to the old ROM? (the radio ROM upgrade warned not to downgrade roms)
ActiveSync backup can be only restored to the same ROM. The best way to backup contacts is to use Outlook. Yes, you can flash your ROM back to the previous version, restore the contacts, backup them to Outlook, flash the new ROM then sync with Outlook to get the contacts list
there ma ybe another way
So i was about to download the old ROM updates from http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda/xda_ROM_Archive.htm
When i read the readme on that page. It says that active sync can only restore to a device with exactly the same partnership/device ID. It says you must delete the existing partnership and recreate it.
So i have done that, and a resotre is currently in progress (restoring a full backup from an old rom, to the new rom version of my walaby).
I will post back in 10 minutes when it has finished to let everyone know what has/hasnt been restored.
check for reginal settings.
In case it was changes to customize your device before upgrage - change them now from default.
it is not recommended to restore after ROM upgrade, tho...
restore not reccomended
I suppose i can understand why, but in any case i dont use outlook. So i cant see me having much choice...
Btw, does anyone know of software to sync the XDA to mozilla (preferable under linux too!)
backup to SD card
Out of curiosity, the pdf i read regarding the upgrade said you can back up to a SD card too.
Is this any different to backing up via ActiveSync? Is it any less risky to restore such a backup after an upgrade?
Up to my information, it has the same issue ... SD backup can't be restored to a different ROM version.

sync with

cynce
Looks good... anyone tried to sync with Mozilla Thunderbird??
Restore worked
So the restore seems to have worked... kind of...
The thing runs, but the old sms messages are only in the index, and i cant seem to delete them or view them.
The new programs from the upgrade dont seem to be here, though they could be lying around in a folder somwhere i havent looked.
My Fiitaly install works, though the input method occasinaly tries to be the transcriber even though it shouldnt be.
All in all, its usable, but when i have time i will be finding a copy of outlook just to back up the contacts and then flashing the ROM again and installing everything else again.
A note to anyone else who might be trying the same thing, all your notes etc can be backed up just by activesync synchronising your XDA mydocuments with a sub-folder of your pc's mydocuments. Then hopefully outlook can do the contacts and appointments. Dunno what you'd have to do if you wanted to save your sms messages or call log or anything
Results
Well, instead od studying for my exams (yup, just like me to do this) I installed Outlook, synchronised the XDA, flashed it again, synchronised it again, installed my software and it seems to be pretty good!
Lost my sms messages, but thats no problem to me.
2 things that are odd:
I had to add a shortcut to notes.exe in the start menu because it didnt exist
Also, i cannot create new accounts, ie gprs email ones. Of course, this would only be useful if the new ROM supports encrypted IMAP connections. Does it? Is there a free (or maybe cheap) third party solution that does?
Hi guys,
I upgrade my JasJam version 1.20.305.3 to 1.20.305.104 from i-Mate website. After upgrade i found that MMS configuration menu is missing. Can someone help my, how to add this ?
Best regards
I had the same problem when I upgraded my 8525. What I think happened is, at one point during the upgrade, I was prompted to set up my email. I started setting it up, but the phone wasn't finished installing software. So the phone trying to set up email and install software at the same time goofed things up. The MMS app was there, but some reg keys must have been missed.
I did a hard reset and let the phone do it's thing without me touching it and everything installed properly.
It's odd how i-mate posted a extROM update that's older than the latest full ROM. Try downloading and installing the full update.
Thanks guys
I cannot understand, why on the offcial suppor page, is linked wrong update file
hello folks,
i've one htc hd2 with mango 7220, and will upgrade to green mango 7592,
after start the upgrade process, i'll lost all my contacts?
thanks!
Just syncronize them with Google or your Live account. Then you'll never lose them again. Just resync when you flashed and BAM all contacts are there.
Why are u downgrading to green mango 7592??
Yes, google or live account will do, or simply import fr yr SIM to phone..
Make sure you sync all accounts (I.e. Google, MS passport) it'll be the last time you loose contacts!
Use yuki-xbmod back to the future ... Takes you all the way to official Mango and updates through Zune after initial flash. =D
Hey,

Stop messing about with Chevron. Update to Back to the Future ROM.
exactly... use BTTF ROM, upgrade to Mango... do hard reset after that or if you want keep data on your phone, use cab files for unlock (if have problems with deploying xaps)...
if you have already BTTF ROM, use same advice...
Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is a slim chance of HD2 receiving Tango update without us having to reinstall the whole OS?
depend to ROM... but all ROM's which have option to update with CAB files is possible to have update without reflashing new ROM....
but many new options and bug fixes is in new ROM with flashing....
and no problem for re-install all from beginning because i use backup in WPDM and restore all apps and games settings and data (cant backup whole app but who care... simply install fresh one and restore settings and data)
as dxdy says
Id also add that there will be some updates coming out soonish which will requirer a flash update, this is beyond normal OS updates so i doubt very much it can be cab updated, kind of like xbmod v2 - v2.1 wasnt
So dont get too attached just yet
