Now what to do ???? - HD2 General

I bought an WWE HD2 here in HK...and got a display problem..
I went to the store but they dont have stock of WWE, only Chinese. They could have the English around 2 MONTHS later !!!!
I dont want to send it to HTC, since it's only a week old...so they give me a Chinese one..and told me just to flash the ROM to WWE...
Pls Help me :
1) Where to find the latest WWE for HK ?
2) HOw to flash my Chinese to WWE ROM?
3) Is there any issue that I might encounter ?
Someone told me that I need to reflash back to Chinese whenever I need to send it to HTC for HW defect...
Pls help...
Thanks

Why don't you start in the obvious places:
1. HTC's site under the support page
2. The rom section of this forum.

Can not upgrade diamond 2 to WM 6.5

Hi , I need help to understand why I cant upgrade my diamond 2 to WM 6.5
Here is my current version ( I got my phone in Hong Kong )
rom 1.40.707.2(49069)wwe
rom date 06.15.09
radio 3.44.25.27
protocol 61.25t.25.19u
I tried to download a rom update from here :
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=728&news_id=310
but I got a message that there is no upgrade available for my serial number.
Than I took a number (ht968l100038) from stock , from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568330
I downloaded an update , it started to run but then I got a message :
Error 294 - invalid vendor ID
So my question is :
1. Why there is no update available from official HTC site ?
2. How in any case I can upgrade it ? what's wrong with my vendor ID ?
Thanks ! ! !
Hope some one could help me !
If you read previous posts about that message, someone said it was because the 6.5 upgrade is not for your region. Hong kong in europe?
You have to wait for the upgrade to be available for hong kong/asia.
Hong Kong belongs to asia.actually I live in another country,but got my phone in h.kong.
but version of my rom is an english one,is there some workaround to install it anyway?
win 6.5
htc has now actually realesed the official update
when i tried to upgrade mine from the htcpedia one it bricked my phone, i mananaged to recover it and install stock 6.1 onto it so hopefully now that im going from a stock 6.1 rom rather than a custom 6.5 it should work lol

I have the same problem as you, and as I can see you have same original ROM, I tried also from another region with same problem ERROR [294].
You may also have S/N HT98LL as I, now I know it's from hongkong (I'm and bought my phone in Paraguay )
Is there anyway to install european ROM? breake the zone from my phone to install official ROM from somewhere else?

Hi,
This has managed to brick mine as well - how did you recover?
It only goes to the touch diamon 2 loading screen and then freezes.
Please help

Mine S/N is "ht97xl......." .
Some one have an idea what to do ?
When HTC will release an update for this vendor ?
Figured it out:
They have only released European versions of the upgrade which does not work with those of us that have asian ones. The HTC huys don't have a release date for the Asian English Winmo 6.5 ROM release.
Not impressed really.
Hard spl and you can install whatever rom u want....

Hello, i tryed to update my TD2 from wm 6.1 to 6.5 from official htc site -- http://www.htc.com/de/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=728&news_id=310 -- , but when i put my serial number of my phone, it says that for my region is not available wm 6.5 update , i bought my phone from O2 Germany ..
what's the problem ?
ty in advance
I sent an inquiry to HTC and what that they said :
Thank you for contacting HTC Corporation,
Dear HTC Customer
With regards to your inquiry, the WM6.5 upgrade for the HTC Touch Diamond2 is not available yet and should be available within the coming month. Kindly contact us later for more information regarding your WM6.5 upgrade inquiry.
so lets wait .... I don't want to break my phone with unofficial ROMs and loose my warranty. Cant they that their ROM will be perfect,but anyway ...
Today i have decided to upgrade my german device to the 6.5 stock rom (I selected german region). I've put in my serial number, selected the file and the location. And now, I thought I could download the official 6.5 rom. But the download link led me to this site: http://www.htc.com/www/support.aspx where i could not download any rom. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Branded TD2's got other serials, so you can only dl ROMs released by your vendor. Also you won't be able to flash the ROM if phone is not unlocked (you need hardspl 1.83).
@S-Line
I've bought my phone unbranded and unlocked, it is not a phone from my provider. The serial i've put in to the field for download ist valid, otherwise i wouldn't get so far to the select the rom file and the the region.
I wrote to the HTC support and they answered: "Wir moechten Sie bitten, den Download zu einem spaeteren Zeitpunkt noch einmal zu versuchen. "
But maybe its better to leave a running system at it is. I've read the thread "Issues with the official 6.5 build" and it does not fills me with confidence in 6.5. Maybe i should try a cooked rom. Will see.
The official HTC Rom is ok, but I really can recommend udK's Leo R6 (German version) or Dutty's Holy Grail R1 (a bit faster but WWE). Both are better than stock ROM.
Today I have flashed my TD2 with your recommended udK Leo R6 and I'm surprised, I have much more space left after the installation. Original, as I bought my device, there were only 180 mb free data space, with this cooked rom I have far over 200 mb left after flashing. Until now, after some hours of playing around i like it, it feels faster. And I'm very happy, that my first attempt of hardspl and rom flashing was successful.

[ROMS][OFFICIAL][MULTILANG] HTC HD2 Update (ROM v1.48.xxx)

Hi guys !
I just saw in htcpedia site them releasing series roms updated of htc leo ( 1.48.xxx )

Credit go to tom_codon , thanks him
Really hope GER version coming soon

Thanks. Applied the WWE Europe update to my UK HD2. Initial impressions are that typing seems easier.
Probably an unnecessary question, but just to be sure, is this a final & official upgrade? Apparently the leaked beta 1.48 WWE update said on boot "TEST ONLY NOT FOR SALE" (source)
thanks also....just downloaded the europe update, but waiting that phone to charge.
Unfortunattly as I read in another post, they did not solved the camera issue...
I will get back with impression...
Cheers,
Seba
so what's the difference between this and the 1.43 roms?

Is the final as I read from other guys who test it...but let's see.
It doesn't say that is TEST version...at least the Europe...
See here: http://htcpedia.com/official_wm_upd...h_europe_version/soft/htc-leo-rom.html?page=1
They´re all Shipped roms, newest update from HTC to HD2 users.
The diff between the 1.48 and the 1.43 is that some bugs found on 1.43, such as calendar bug, are now fixed, there´s also some updated apps in there, (Messaging, IME, Manila, Social networking, etc..).
Cheers.
Did somebody have a first impression? It is faster? ....

Well...I have a problem: Invalid Vendor ID.
I downloaded the Official WM6.5 Updated ROM - HTC HD2 (Leo) - English Europe Version.
Hm...any help please?
My version is: 1.43.479.2 (70124) WWE
Regards,
Seba
mine currently is 1.43.405.1 WWE.
Can I upgrade?
and how do one actually do this? upgrade I mean...
What do you guys use for reinstalling all applications after a rom update?
I just updated my ROM from Dutch to English WWE, and do not really want to start installing all the applications again.
Can I make a backup with Spb Backup, and than use the backup to reinstall all the applications?

It seams that others has the same issue -> http://htcpedia.com/official_wm_upd...version/soft/htc-leo-rom.html?page=1#comments
I bought my phone also in Europe....so normally it should work...
Strange. Perhaps sombody with experience can explain why is not working?
Thanks in advance,
Seba
Maybe it's only for unbranbded phones sold in UK? Gold Card should solve the problem, if you can extract the rom file.
Just my 2 cents.
I'm getting my HD2 tomorow, will try later this week
Nop, the phone is bought from Vodafone in Romania....
Rgs,
Seba
no problems to flash... but changelog??

You Have an EASTERN EUROPE rom on your HD2. you need to wait till the same version is released or use the gold card method to flash the Europe WWE version (which is in effect Western europe & WWE)
HTC really need to sort out their rom naming..
We have 4 or 5 WWE rom versions.. they can't all be World Wide English!
You are right. Thanks....
Well...what do you suggest? To wait or to try with Gold Card?

Ok, Im new to win mo phones, and I have no idea how to do this.
I currently have HD2 (unlocked) O2 version, with 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE.
If I download the WWE version of 1.48, what do I do with this file to update the device, what does it keep or lose in the process of updating and can I (and how) backup anything first?
Thanks.

It is safe to install a ROM from a different country the only trouble is you might not get your preferred language.

HELLO
STOP It is not safe to install rom for other country unless you have installed HSPL. If you try then you will stuck at boot loader. Please be clear before you advice someone.
If you want to install any rom please install HSPL first. Then your choice of Rom. If you don't want to install HSPL then wait for your stock HTC rom update for your Device serial number.
I hope you did not tried yet.
Good luck
sab is right,go to this thread and read or watch the video to HOW TO INSTALL HSPL

Ok guys. Thank you for your advice. I waited for yours answers and didn't flash my device with another ROM. Patience is gold.
my ROM vs is 1.48.479.1 (71294) WWE... .there is the 1.66 on htc website for WWE but when i enter my S/N it says it is not correct... how's that? regarding the language... on first boot it asked me what language to use... i chose RO and it said to wait 3 minutes... the question is... the translation is htc or my service provider?
and how it is regarding radio upgrades?... do they really help?
thanks!
There is a WWE and WWE Eastern Europe. You need Eastern Europe version.
If you flash original ROM, it is with Radio ROM, newer Radio has better sensitivity, little battery drain, faster GPS fix etc....
If you use HSPL, you can flash any ROM and any Radio ROM, not only official...
Eastern Europe version v 1.66
Guys there is a Eastern Europe version v 1.66 floating around for some time which it will install without problem. Also there is a 1.66 version on sunnysoft page : http://sunnysoft.cz/download/HTC/ROM_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1-66.zip the one who is doing localization this link is brand new until couple of days there were stil 1.48.

Personally I am using the 2.08 version but this is due to the ROM I am using; I can not say that is much better or worse than the "default" one. The best one is the one you consider it right.

Sounds to me like an eastern european rom, not a wwe. You will not be able to flash wwe as it is a different region. You need to go read and read and read teh HSPL threads.

HTC Hd2 from HK

Good morning,
I'm here in HK for a long period and I'd like to buy a HTC HD2 here that is cheaper than in Italy.
My only concern is that if I can flash it without problem in order to use a new cooked ROM in italian .
What does it mean WWE ? I read WWE in some ROM but I don't known what it means
Thanks
Hi friend, WWE stands for world wide English....I also bought my HD2 from Hongkong, and the original ROM installed is also the WWE version, means everything is in English, not in Hongkong's native language...Flashing to another ROM is not a problem, just make sure you follow the procedure correctly (HSPL, etc..etc...)
Thanks...but can you tell me about correct procedure to flash ? I want to avoid any kind of serious problem
all in the stickies at the top of this forum, with videos
OK thanks...but the right steps are : flash with new spl or hpsl and then fals new rom (if I want to use Artemis rom wich SPL/HSPL flash have I to use ?
Thanks
Soon, I would be in Uk too. Which is the carrier who offers the mobile at a lower price -and which is the lower price-??Many thanks!!
