Me too!
South East Asia ? Is this a WWE ROM ?
First line reads... "Keeping in touch has always been very important, and this update delivers fast and reliable SMS messaging.".... Good luck to you all - hope it resolves your issues everyone.
( No doubt in 1 hours time someone will come online and say "My sms got stuck in the outbox again...." )
Anyone else got it in their region? I'm browsing regions, but SEA region seems to be the only one with it right now
not in UK yet...

I concur - just checked Europe and UK. We score "nil pwa", as they say in the Eurovision Song Contest. Apologies to non-Europeans, if you don't understand, google it!
Please tell me it fixed more than just the SMS issue...... i'm on the edge of this or a milestone and so far, the Milestone seems the less buggy!
oooohhhh!!! this could be the day ladies and gents ..still nothing on the UK site tho.
don't expect too much hahah If the previous SMS patches are of any indication, we might be disappointed.
The old 1.48 has been pulled from the danish HTC site... It might be a sign of better things to come
Edit: Now the 1.48 is up again.... Weird...
Does anyone know which version of WM it has, I would persume it would be a good time to go 6.5.3

It won't upgrade the OS. They'd certainly not wrap up the "6.6" release (as they're now referring to it) by saying it fixes some SMS problems.
Expect a fanfare and ticker-tape parade when they up the OS.
Thai ROM
There is now ROM version 1.66 available for thai region. If anyone here has a thai region phone, could you please download the new ROM and upload it to HCTpedia repository for official ROMs. I want to try this ROM, but it can only be downloaded using a serial number from a thai region phone, and I don't have that.

ahah, you think that this ROM it's a fake?! how can you say this?
well, when I flash that rom, unmodded, My startbutton and my screen is messed up, just like in several builds that both I and others has ported. This goes for polaris, herald and kaiser.
If I replace certain files in sys with ones from original wm6.0 rom (polaris), that problem goes away. Same if I make a rom for Kaiser..I take this file from the official build and replace in the ported one, the problem go away.
This issue is well known with newer ports. I really doubt HTC would release a such obvious flaw (But then again..I would not be surprised either)
I might be wrong in beliving its a fake, but I really dont belive its the final product. I dont know what source you get the rom from, and I can "eat my words" if im wrong.
I wanna add that I dont question your honesty UDK, not at all. Cause I have had my share of supply of official builds, that has turned up to be fake.
udk and itje
Gosh, if Norway and Switzerland work together, then a bomb will come out of it.
Not your opinion?
LOL
@itje: Unfortunately, this is the final release and yes, does not works well, it's run very slow and there are some lag.. the ITA version is much slower than the WWE version, but I repeat, these ROM are not fake, there is also a RUS, GER and SPA version with the same core and OEM, are all fake? I think no

hello,
Can we have a French one PLZ
Where do you find this ROM ? Have you special access on HTC club ? have you a friend who works for an operator or HTC?
If you think it is a fake rom, why not go to the HTC site and see if an official rom is available... I would do this however I have an O2 Orbit not official HTC cruise!

Both you and me can make multilanguage based on same core and OEM.
Slow and lag..all official roms I have seen has slowness and lagging.. So I didnt base my doubts on that.
Its more the booting issues that makes me wonder. But hey, I am man enough to say I was wrong, so im not gonna sit here and go on fight for something that I cant prove.
Either its this or that, we'll just see when the official hits the support pages at HTC, if it has the same issue, then we know if its the final official build or not that is here with us now

I don't think they are fake, since they are signed and flashable without HardSPL. But if they are the final release or some test/preview we don't know until they are posted on the web.
They have been available for some time already, if they indeed are the final build, why are they still not put on htc.com?
Perhaps they are going to re-package udK's Syrius or Itjes latest and release those instead.The Polaris user group would be much happier then
Spanish ROM
I´ve installed the spanish rom and if I use the original SPL it gets changed by a new one with version POLA100/3.130000/CPLD-2.
I´ve never seen that on a cooked rom.
Hi,
in my opinion, this is the first and last update from HTC for POLARIS

Agree totally with you. A device such as ours last for a year. Why do you want HTC people to devote time on present and past devices ? They have already announced new generations to come within the next few months.
Still, I think my Polaris will still be useful until such time a much much better PDA comes to light.
Besides, take away XDA-developers and some other sites, do you think the manufacturers will have more creative minds? No sir, people like you and other
guys alike itje and udk are their main contributors for good ideas. Our forums are read daily by all manufacturers.
Keep it up

Yes... with 6.1, the Polaris just becomes a more stable version of itself, with some enhancements -- more of what it should've been upon release. Will definitely hold us over until WM7, at which point it'll be a good time to get a newer device

I think the reason they don't post it on the web is because not all languages are ready yet. When they post it every language should be available or there will be another problem, right ?
For now I'm using wwe (waiting for portuguese) and it works flawlessly. Ok, I don't have manilla but all radio function work, I've got voip working, I can use wmplayer with htc home (so my calls don't get everything malfunctioning while using bluetooth), and I got portuguese keyboard working (registry tweak needed). So I think it's probably the real deal. And let's face it if they released a upgrade with manilla would you buy the new touch for 600€ while you can get a polaris for 400€ nowadays? So we will be stucked with a stripped version of wm6.1 or if you look on the bright side at least is wm6.1 and stable.
Here is the TIME for Official WM6.1 on htc.com ???
I think the TIME is coming NOW !!! Because the link now not available, but only the Cruise Software site !!! I hope sooooo
Hi
Just visited HTC site to see if they have put the O2 branded ROM update up yet and the 1.48 ROM that was there yesterday seems to have gone?? Here's hoping they are re-uploading it to apply to ALL HD2s !
Hmmm I just checked and yeah it doesn't exist anymore... maybe they pulled it and because 1.61 is maybe coming out very soon?
Worldwide it does not appear if you go to the UK site it is still there.... silly me!!

I was just there, impatiently checking for a UK release of the 1.61 ROM, and the 1.48 is still there. It's dated 9/12/09, which we know is rubbish, but still there!

1.48 was total bogus afaik, and im thinking htc realized that too now, seeing how they without-a-doubt will know that roughlly half the hd2 users from this forum already run 1.61, since it DOESNT HAVE BROKEN CORE FUNCTIONALITYS, like one would expect from a hightech phone.
1.48 is Gone from htc site over here aswell, i srsly hope there will be a official worldwide 1.61 soon

No mate - the release date is rubbish. I think they should be a bit more careful about their release dates, as that's more like the date that it was "leaked", but not "officially" available on their site. (Lots of " when I talk about HTC "release" process )
Incidentally, it's still available in the UK. It doesn't make sense!

They never removed it from the site... and it was never in the support list... On my side, I've got the official link from xda... Hopefully, some poeples here read the (boring) official announcments
I think they've removed it because it doesn't have a so much good overall performance/number of bugs/usability improvements.
Anyway, the 2.01 ROM is a whole new story.
Im sorry if this question is stupid, but I just can't find the answer.
The 1.61 WWE version has been out for quite a while now, however do anyone know when the german, danish, norwegian etc 1.61 ROMS gets officially released?

Maybe it's not comming in Denmark. HTC has a strange policy in releasing firmwares, some comes out worldwide others just locale. Since there is already a 2.01 in play as well I don't think we will get that 1.61 as a HTC release.
It certainly would be rather nice with a new danish ROM update for our HD2... I can't believe the treatment HTC are giving their costumers.. 4 hotfixes! Nuff said: Bring on an update... NOW!

I agree, but having followed the HTC Hero and Magic users in danish forums I am not setting my hopes up. Besides there are some really nice cooked roms here now that are certainly performing better than the 1.48 we get in Denmark. I don't mind the language being english since I already use english on my computer.
True true... One problem though, with the current cooked ROMS, is the stability... I'm using my HD2 for phonecalls, messaging, email etc. in relation to my work. Therefore I simply need a ROM I can trust. I'm not saying that the cooked ROMS wont get there, is KNOW they will ... But for now i'm more comfortable with a good'old stock ROM .... (Though I proberly will give some ENERGY to my HD2 when the time comes )
I don't mind the phone being in english either... The only problem is XT9... I know u can tweak the registry to have danish XT9 in WWE ROMS... The only problem is that it requires some WinMO expertise... I don't have that yet
If somebody made some .CAB solutions to easy "multilanguage XT9 selection" in WWE ROMS, it sure would make things a lot easier for ordinary people, and people with very little time
Expect this to be released soon...
About bloody time!! Not that I needed it as my HD2 wasn't on the VF but a LOT of VF users are waiting on this!!
yep.. its coming... the official stock 1.66 was approved by Voda recently so now they are customising.
Any info about bloody O2 upgrade?

That's the worrying bit...
Lol, tried to post this on the VF forum - mods are checking it so doubt it'll go up!!!
Awesome, as above about time.... Hopefully VF won't have put any customisations on to this ROM.
I got my phone on a vodafone contract (although the phone box says suitable for orange on it) and its got 1.66 ROM and the same radio as posted... so does this mean that the new phones (mines a few days old) are being shipped with it...?
you're is probably not on the VF ROM - it'll be an unlocked one...check by going to the HTC support site and put your serial number in. If it takes it it's not on a VF vendor ID

if they weren't going to they'd have released it by now
Some questions, firstly if they have customised it how have they managed to destroy it and secondly shall I stay HTC 1.66 WWE or go with Vodafone 1.66 WWE
I think I'll stay with the HTC one imagine flashing the VF version and ending up with the VF red/white stuff all over the place lol
I notice the ROM version is 405.2 where as WWE is 405.1 I wonder if they have maybe fixed some stuff as 1.66 WWE still has some issues (just had to battery pull as mine just locked up again)
Actually... going back to some correspondance i have had with Vodafone.... this ROM will most likely not be customised.
It is being released as a response to the overwhelming unhappiness of Vodafone customers on 1.43.
There is a fully customised ROM in the pipeline though.
seriously, whats the point in them adding things? I'm on VF and all their services run absolutely fine. I can't for the life of me see how they can improve on what HTC, or even the chefs on here, can create...

It is indeed unlocked as you surmise... I entered my serial number and the download started... woo hoo... unlocked is what I was after... nice...
For anyone on O2 that happens to be reading this, , if you got your device in the last few weeks there has been reports that the roms are not provider locked on the newer shipped devices.
For all networks, best way to check is put your serial in the HTC website, if it's accepted, you have a wwe HTC rom, if it's not, you have a wwe provider locked rom.

Hi, I've just received the newest OTA update from HTC, the new version is 1.83.415.4. I was wondering does anyone know what new features or fixes this update provides compared to my older 1.32.405.6.
First thing I've noticed is the phone is lot quicker. Seriously, I cant believe how much quicker my phone is now.
Cheers..

judging from the time shown in the screenshot and a world time zone map i think he is in brazil somewhere, maybe east coast?

Judging from the size I'd say it's a new version of the last updated, 1.72. On a rooted stock ROM the only update I'm offered is to 1.32.405.6 from 1.32.405.3 that's in the UK.
No update yet from the Philippines with a unit from Europe.
