Why can't I download another ROM than my country's? - HD2 General

I am from Romania and the 1.66 ROM is (still) not available for my serial number. Why HTC doesn't let me install a WWE version? I can get it from here, I know. I was thinking this one: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
Is it a good ideea or shoud I wait until they take their time and finally make a ROM for my country?
I want to upgrade so badly because I have a strange problem with the SMS function. When I reply to a message or when I choose a contact from agenda and choose to send SMS to that person then the text I'm writing is very very small, almost unreadable. And it is set on medium size. If I'm trying to write a SMS without choosing an expeditor prior to the typing of the message then the text is normal in size. I have 1.48.479.1(71294)WWE stock ROM.

HTC releases WWE based on region. You have to wait.
I'm also waiting for the rom. Try installing the latest hotfix for the sms problem. If you can't find it, contact me.

The last SMS fix "fixed" me with this problem... I'm looking for a way to remove it but so far nobody knows a way other than reinstalling the ROM.

How Can I know by serial number what is my region version?
Thanks

You can't really.
I asked HTC when i had my TP2 and they told me it was from Czech Republic although i bought it in Romania.
Contact them about it and they will tell you.

Bugs in Sense 2.5

Hey there people.
Iam sorry to make a new thread but i've asked a couple of times in some few threads regarding this but no one answers.
So now i try it this way
Have the cooks here been able to fix the sms issue that is present in sense 2.5 in the htc stock roms? The issue with the messeges that dosn't get delivered. This issue has prevented me from using roms with sense 2.5. The SMS hotfix doesnt solve anything neither the newest official nordic rom 1.48
Thanks!
~D
hi,
do you try an official 1.43, 1.48, 1.61 rom with the hotfix ???

I've only tried the 1.48 official rom with the hotfix and that didn't work.
I can't get an official 1.61 rom in denmark yet as the rom isn't released for nordic users
You'll see if the server phone number of your provider is well.
Click on phone --> Menu --> Options --> Voice mail ...
and enter the phone number here.

No problem there. It is also only sometimes messages dosn't get send. Other times it works very well and the suddenly out of nowhere sms's aint sent and the only solution is to soft reset. After that it works again.
But the problem is that i do not notice if they get sent or not. The only way is to have the sms delivery nortification enabled but thats just annoying
anyone ???
check the chefs roms threads.. if there's people complaining about that particular issue then it's not been fixed.
If they aren't complaining (about that one) then it's likely to be working..
TBH I never had the issue in the first place, so I can't say it was fixed or not, the 1922 sense build (that most chefs are using) works fine for me..

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

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.

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?

Add one more, there is a brand new SMS_Updated patch added in Hong Kong too!
http://www.htc.com/hk-tc/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=812&news_id=508
i thought 1.66 fixed the sms issue?
i've only sent 5 since updating but all went through instantly...
I installed the HK hotfix and no harm has been done (i.e. it's better than the last one, which produced monster text in my SMS folders). I can send SMS messages; but then I could before as long I kept the inbox below ten messages.

It says ROM version less than 1.66.XX, so its safe to assume that people on 1.66 dont need it.
I am on 1.66 and have not experienced any problems as such..
Installing it for about 10 minutes now.. not finished yet!
If they wont release 1.66 for Germany, it´d be a bad joke.
Edit: to anyone who installed it: Does the Hotfix appear under Software at the settings?
My device restarted itself after 15 minutes of installation.. no idea if it worked
I'm downloading this as we speak...could anyone tell us if it's necessary for us to uninstall any of the previous two hotfixes? any separate differences (such as radio upgrade and what not that's not apparent from the hotfix "title"?). The last hotfix that was taken down took up a lot of memory, so worried that this will take even more.
is the new manager sms 2011.3631

No it doesnt show under remove programs and a reboot once finished is normal. It should be installed.
When I install this fix on a german ROM will the SMS Client be german then? The hotfix is not available form the german htc site...
can someone who applied the update please provide the build number of the
htc messaging? for that, goto "all messages/menu/about".
my current version with miri's 1.4B (tmo 2.02 base) is 2011.1932!
thx in advance!
I hope this fix is for users who don't want to flash a new ROM or can't do it because of branding...
Hey HTC Germany (and the other countries) : I hope you've finished 1.66-translation soon like your collegues in italy,spain,france,norway,...
We want to flash - not only fix - this weekend

"is the new manager sms 2011.3631..."
I installed the hotfix on Dutty's 1.3 ROM,
It last 2 minutes.
After softreset the SMS program is now 1.5 but It was already 1.5 on Dutty's ROM!
BUT when replying to a SMS to a contact with a large amount of received sms, it is almost instantly possible to reply (write)! The messages are loaded very very quickly!
could it be the same as the one that was pulled? it still says LEO8007 like the one before this
Installed this new hotfix...
No more visible subfix "- GSM" on old SMS this time...
edit: should be just hidden, but not delete the subfix. I still can see it at myphone...

Don't think so, quite a few files with date 25-01-2010 to 28-01-2010. Thinking whether or not to install this one the miri 1.5 rom having the 1.66/2.02 base.
The fix is not available at the danish site But it seems we got the 1.66 rom instead

It's a later version than the one we've got just by doing the 1.66 upgrade then (2011.1932)

I have instaleld this on an italian 1.48 rom and got the new version of the sms application: will see how it works and if all is good won't upgrade to 1.66 for now

1.66 ROM update question.

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?

New Dutch ROM 1.72.172.0 on HTC website...

... but I can't download it. After I enter my serial number, it says the software is not fit for my device. I highly doubt that, since it's a regular Dutch HD2 and I could download the previous update (1.66) just fine.
Could it be that they don't have the ROM file fully online yet?
I guess I'll try again later. If anyone has more success, please let me know.
http://www.htc.com/nl/supportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=920
I found out about it through the RSS feed for Dutch HD2 upgrades, but I just noticed it hasn't even shown up in their support news section yet. I guess I'll just have to wait.
It's a new Rom for Vodafone users, not for us default users

I just saw another post here that referred to it as the 'Vodafone 1.72 ROM' but I always figured HTC wouldn't put it on their own website then.
I guess they do.
I experienced the same, I don't understand why they never post a decent description with their updates. That would probably relieve their own help desk too!
Thanks for the info.
To all (dutch) users, flash a new rom the moment you unbox your HD2 tbh, the default ones cant even send sms
I disagree: it works fine
