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....

Well put, simple solution
Official ROM sucks kinda hard anyway.

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.

Maybe they can help you the same.

Is it safe to install a ROM even if it is not for my country?

I have a romanian 1.48 ROM and I'd like to upgrade to 1.66 but it is not available for my country. Is it safe to download and install a version of 1.66 from this forum?

Waiting...

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

soon you done that you can get any cooked rom in here, Enjoy

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.

How to find shipped rom?

I tried to google it... i tried to look into Leo Official ROMs... tried here Leo shipped roms couldnt find my rom anywhere... and before i flash hspl i wanna have chance to go back if something goes wrong...
my rom is 1.43.113.3 (70315) CSY radio 2.04.50.22_2 and protocol 15.26.50.07U
its from czech t-mobile... could anyone help me out? HTC website doesnt accept my serial number and on t-mobile website is nothing...

go to the Czech HTC support site and it should be there...

i tried but it doesnt accept my serial number... i guess becuase its t-mobile branded

more than likely...but if peeps on Vodafone UK put there's in they get to the download page of their VF ROM...

on tmobile website they have just upgrade for nokia and sony ericsson... i think ill email them, thanks for help anyway

no they dont cos there isnt one released by voda.... yet

no, but it should give you the first 1.43 ROM shouldn't it? I have an unbranded HD2 on 1.48 out the box so I'm assuming as I have access to 1.48 and 1.66 if I go on the support page...

nope
if your handset is unbranded you can download whatever you want from the HTC website and it will work.
If it is locked down by the network then you will not be able to download any version of their roms officially.... until they release one. Even then you will only be able to download and install the latest.
However... network operator roms are posted all over xda... just search and ye shall find.

I assumed putting in your S/N would bring up what's been released already - bit backwards but I suppose it's to discourage people pissing about with their phones and just flash it back - another form of control!

Problem need help htc hd2

Hello how are you. my htc hd2 had the 1.66 so i decided to down grade it back to 1.48 downloaded the wwe Leo 1.48 ROM then did what everything on the video put the sd card in then hold voldown and power button then it loaded then waited screen went off then triangle came up then it says not allow

and try turn on phone but triangle on screen thats it...
plz help
thank you

you have used the wrong rom. you need to find an original rom for your region and provider. (example if your phone is german and vodafone then you need the vodafone german rom)
once you find the correct rom do what you did last time and it will start.

oh in that case it is easy.
go to rom development section, find the "leo official roms" thread, look in first post first link.the rom you need says o2 in the name.
if you are trying to downgrade so you can put hspl on your phone look in the 1.43 folder)

there isn't an O2 1.48 ROM in the 4Shared folder, only their 1.43 one

o2 uk have only released one rom. no 1.48, no 1.66, only 1.43...are you sure your phone is an actual o2 phone? did you buy outright from o2? car phone warehouse perhaps?

i just bought the phone on ebay and it was already 1.66 he said he done this update thru htc and he says he got it on carphone wherehouse but im using an 02 sim not sure if its simlocked
does this help
thanks

OK, so it isn't an o2 locked rom. It should be a wwe one.
personally i would try this
http://www.4shared.com/account/file..._WWE_1434051_Radio_.html?sId=wJvHvpUN96nuOQU8
rom first
That is the 1.43 wwe rom. download, extract the ruu_signed.nbh, copy to sd card, reboot into bootloader, if it flashes, all good. You can then instal hspl, and flash any rom you like BY USB.
Sim lock is nothing to do with rom lock.

Excuse my maybe silly question but...
Why would we want to downgrade the ROM version??
(Beside of the need to send it to the repair of course)

so that you can instal HSPL and flash other roms. (HSPL needs SPL 1.42 or it wont instal)

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!!
