Hi guys,
Just bought the phone. It's clean. I've only installed the hot fixes from HTC official website and that's it.
Here's what I have:
OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Version: 1.48.479.1 (71294) WWE
ROM Date: 11-18-09
Radio Version: 2.06.51.07
Protocol Version: 15.30.50.07U
I have a problem though. I can't seem to be able to get email clients (either outlook or others [gmail, yahoo]) to work with the mobile internet we get from Vodafone - i keep getting this error - Cannot Connect - Cannot Connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings. However, the internet works, I can browse, facebook etc. Can you please let me know if there's a fix for this? It seems to work on WiFi connection!
I would also like to ask, if someone is patient enough, to let me know what applications/roms/radios should I install in order to benefit at max from the phone.
I don't mind if you could send me (on private) links as to where I could download free games and apps.
Many many thanks in advance and I'm sorry for the long post!
All the best,
DH

Update your ROM to the latest official one if you are not going to use a custom one.
"Free games" will be price at £/$0 on Windows Markeplace or in OMarket not going to support warez.
you're really not helping. There are hundreds of pages and posts here. That's what HTC said about the ROM, that is the latest for my serial number although there's another one available, it wouldn't let me download it.
No one? Please!!!
Hi Digitalhater.
The latest official ROM for the HD2 is 1.66. This ROM contains all the fixes that have been released. As far as i know, this ROM is now available for all regions.
Download and install.
You can also go the cooked ROM route, there are some brilliant ROM's in the ROM development forum.
For good free games and apps, go to www-freewarepocketpc-net.
Sorry, can't post links yet.
As for your email problem, make sure that you have the correct POP and SMTP servers setup, or else your mail won't connect. You can get this from your IP.
So if you go here:
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=856
and put in your serial number it won't let you download? You didn't click on the T-Mobile ROM update by mistake did you?

Are there any specific ones I should look at? Some that you'd recommend?
As well, could you help me with the synchronization error I get for the email?
Many thanks in advance.
Sounds like it's a vendor locked device, you'd need to get in touch with your phone provider and see if they're going to release a ROM. If not, you need to flash the phone with HSPL to install a new ROM
(Just realised I gave you the link to the UK site but checked on the Romanian one and the ROM you're on is the latest for your region)
The first thing I would do is make sure that all the connection information for your log in etc for you email is correct and that you are telling your email to use the internet connection to find email.
Eliminate the simple things first. The answer is not always to flash a new rom although that can help with other stuff later. Walk before you try to run.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. However, how can I check what connection is the email using?
What I find suspicious is that the browsing works with these settings and if I connect to wireless they all work. THank you all in advance!
You're best off asking VF direct as they may have a block on certain mail servers in your region. In the UK I use my Googlemail account just fine over WiFi or contract Internet
worth noting here that many (not all) ISPs only allow sending of email when connected directly to their own network.
A good example is ntlworld email accounts in the UK. You can send and receive over pop and smtp when connected to the ntlworld connection at home, , and you can receive when connected to mobile data, BUT try and send via smtp.ntlworld.com when you are connected to mobile data and it fails.
It is to prevent 'relaying' which used to be a well used spam technique.
If its vodafone your on you can download the Rom from their site here http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=424&e=0
For WVGA games you can get some quite good free ones here http://wvga.pda4you.org/
Enjoy
Thanks a lot to you all. Still haven't managed to fix the email client on vodafone's mobile internet.
another question, is there a way you can have landscape mode on every application for HTC HD 2? or to have the home screen in landscape?

i upgraded my Qtek 1010 and it works smoothly with no problems, it was piece of cake process, i have tested the GPRS services which is not lanuch yet officially in Saudi Arabia but maybe it might be available for the public later last year ( could be last quarter of this year ) i was one of the lucky persons to have a Test account as beta tester or friendly customer.
this upgrade has GPRS suspend mode which enables you while your device in power saving mode to keep the connection or end it.
also it comes with small utility which is called ( WM ) WModem, this utility will simulate your device as wireless modem and let your PC/Notebook be connected to network wirelessly, it has two connection type Serial and IrDA.
i'll try to find free host site and upload it there when i got free time.
if anybody interested to have it, Please send me login Access details for FTP server so i can upload it there.
the file size for ( RUU ) Radio Unit Upgrade version 3.16.52 is 13.3 MB and the ( RSU ) Radio Stack Upgrade version 3.23.01 is 1.7 MB

Dear Friends
hello again
i would like to thank the three people ( ARZLEB, from http://www.tabsh.net also Start from http://www.ghuom.com/ and Antonin Hruska http://downloadplace.webzdarma.cz ) who tried to help me with the free space for the upgarde.

best regards.
Othman
Dear all
finally it's done and you can enjoy the latest upgrade and here's the instructions.
How to upgarde your Qtek 1010 ?
i have uploaded the Software ROM upgrade at the following site with the help of our friend Antonin Hruska LumpiStefan who provide me free space and thanks to Markh for mirrored the updates with some UK 02 specific instructions .
Download the upgarde files from the mirrored site since the prevous link was not working here
1. Backup your data via ActiveSync or onto a Storage Card. if you don't have ActiveSync you can dowload it here
2. Upgrade the CE build before upgrading the Radio build by running this file first RUU 3.16.52.exe
3. Attach your Qtek 1010 directly to the computer with either a USB cable or Serial cable
4. Ensure the ActiveSync connection is running and is connected to the device and make sure it's connected to the power.
5. After the hard reset the CE update is complete.
6. Reconfigure CE and restore your data.
7. Attach Your Qtek 1010 to the computer again and disconnect the power supply and make sure it's charged Minimum 70 % & it's highly recommended to set off the Security PIN or disable it through start/settings/personal/phone as advice by Mr. Waleed in another threat on this forum
8. Run this file RSU 3.23.01.exe
9. After the soft reset the radio update is complete.
if your device didn't start the upgrade for any reason do hard rest and follow the instructions carefully
good luck and enjoy your little toy
if you need to contact me for any reason this is my E-Mail address [email protected]
Regards.
Othman

Hi
Guys did any one tried the upgrade for t-mobile?
or did any one used the upgrade for 900/1900 XDA?
Thanks
:shock:
The Qtek upgrade will only upgrade the Qtek (unless you twiddle the bits in the binary as described elsewhere on this forum).
BUT it cannot be used to upgrade a T-Mobile or AT&T device. The build is 900/1800 only and you will lose you 1900 ability, ie it won't work in the USA.
Where can i find the new English upgrade for t-mobile pocket pc?
:shock:
I have a T-Mo USA 2002...
I'm trying to down grade the Radio firmware to the original version but don't know where to get it. Please help!
After upgrading my PPC 2002 to 4.01.16 with RS 6.25.02, everything works much better except one thing, which I need the most, doesn't work anymore: Accessing work email via PPTP VPN over GPRS.
Vpn connection establishs just fine but very unreliable. Sometimes very few emails are downloaded, other times email can't even logon to the server. I never successfully downloaded all my emails (in a 3-days period) with this new Radio firmware.
I tried out the MovianVPN, it works great! But don't like the way you have to go through so many things before getting your email!
Thanks for your help!
Please help...
I think I need the RS 6.18 from T-Mobile. If anyone has it, please give me a link to it or PM me so I can you my Email address to send to.

Take a look here: http://www.yorch.net/upgrades.htm
Questions:
1. Will re-installing my O2 ROM sim-lock my phone? It doesn't sound like it w/ all the ROM installing going on but I have to ask to be sure.
2. I did a hard reset when I couldn't get mms working on my XDA Exec w/ USA T-Mobile (mss working now, though). I now have serious stability issues and apparently have missing files. For example, I have no picture frames (themes?) and I get a pop-up error when I scroll past that option with the camera. Would these issues be solved by running the individual extended rom files?
3. I have installed Microsoft Portrait but I can't get the XDA's camera to work with it. Is there a .dll for the camera somewhere to make this work?
4. I was in one of the non-corporate mode after the hard reset because I didn't know the code. Now I am in Corporate mode but does this undo the 'features' that were installed with the non-corporate mode or do I need to hard reset again?
Thanks,
Tron

Ok, I hate replying to my own post but I can't find this in the threads.
How does one stop the extended rom on the O2 XDA from installing? I read where people here manually install the cabs they want and I would like to do the same. However, the extended rom is installing all on it's own right after I enter the 0605 for Corporate configuration.
Oh, and if anyone can help w/ the first post above...that's be great, too!

You can stop the ExtROM installing by doing a soft reset as soon as you first see the Today screen.

I can't believe I didn't think of that! (Would have been to chicken to try it without someone saying it's "OK" even if I did.) This is why you have 331 posts and I only have 3!

Can you please share your comments on the newer version you downloaded.
Is there a lot of difference with what we have before?
I'm quite happy with the ROM i have now and am afraid that if I upgrade to the new ROM, some of the software i have installed will not work anymore after I do a restore from my backup file. Thanks in advance
the only 'problem; i notice is activesync is always on eating 99k usage. even if u off it, it will come back on
but i not sure what trigger it on. i think it will auto on. this is the only bug i notice so far.
some minor improvement overall
thanks
thanks for the info nicolashew
1. Fixed auto-reboot issue after enabling WLAN.
Yesterday I encounter twice reboot while browsing a chinese website, it reboot after I entered my username and password and click on login. I'm using the opera browser, but later on I tried with other website, it doesn't happen, weird problem...
yup being test it since its being release...
kind of better gps reception. some improvement on the answering call menu... got 1 new menu pop up which you can slide to right to answer or left to ignore...
nothing outstanding about the ROM.
Hello -
I just bought an unused t-mobile HTC Hero.
I unlocked it for use on vodaphone.
Everything works fine except that I cannot use the mobile network - although it is apparently enabled in the phone, any attempt to access internet etc fails, saying "this application requires network access".
NB: access is fine using wi-fi.
Support at vodafone suggested a rom upgrade. ROM Download refused by HTC website (upgrade n/a for my phone's S/N, it said)
are the two issues related and how should I resolve them???
S/N (HT98SL903000)
build number: 1.76.110.6146733 CL47212 release keys.
many thanks,
alex
Have you checked the APN settings?
Regards,
Dave
Search for the vodafone ROM on the XDA-DEV Hero Wiki. Or google...
Or, just check youve got vodafones APN settings and not t-mobiles (like foxmeister said)

Thanks for that.
I will follow all of the suggestions.
One point though _ If it needs rom as well as correction of APN - is it worth considering a custom rom instead of getting tangled with vodafone?

Vodafone don't carry the Hero, so there is no Vodafone specific ROM for the Hero.
You've got a T-Mobile branded device with a 1.76 build on it, so my advice would be a MoDaCo ROM, or if you don't want a custom ROM, a generic HTC ROM. If you upgrade to the latest T-Mobile ROM, you'll end up with the "perfect" SPL meaning you'd have to downgrade via a goldcard before you could replace the ROM with something non-T-Mobile.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks again.
I now have internet access having sorted the APN. Much happier now (I got anxious cos the phone I bought in a box from another phone -- bearing the wrong serial number, IMEI etc )
but I'm attracted to the ROM change.
Is there a particular MoDaCo ROm that i should go for that wil allow the usual apps to be run alongside some level of compatibility with outlook and MS word etc?
cheers,
Alex

Well, head to http://hero.modaco.com and have a look. There will be a full version (3.1 IIRC) available free, and a beta of the next one (3.2beta5 IIRC) for paid members.
Try the free one, and if you like it, you might like to donate to Paul to keep him going. Also, that will get you access to his 'kitchen' to make your own custom ROM from the modaco base, but adding and removing things you don't want etc.
But there's really only 1 modaco custom rom (aka MCR), just make sure you get the right one (GSM/CDMA) so GSM for you I reckon.
