Apologies if I didn't search enough, but I was wondering if the stock ROM that the TMobile US HD2 came with already had the hot fixes installed that are currently on the HTC website (i.e. camera fix, sms fix, calendar view, etc). Thanks in advance for your responses.
which tmo? the us one or the one everyone else has? if its the us, then no, everyone else, yes. (well, i think maybe germany has a new tmo rom out that has the fixes built in. more info needed to answer you)
So stock US Tmobile ROM has the fixes already part of it or I need to download them from the website?
No, you have rom 2.10, all the hotfixes on the site are for 1.66 or lower. If you select the update, and read the info on it, it tells you what rom versions it is for.
Thanks for your time!
Kind of confused ... I am guessing 2.10 has all the fixes included... it would not make sense to go back to 1.66

Hi all,
Flashing of RADIO rom is that same reason as my Kaiser?
Better performance, GPS, etc etc?
And where can i find a thread where i can see where the latest radio rom is working correct in given Country's, or are the HERO Radio roms for every country?
I know for Kaiser that not all roms are working correct in Netherlands for example.
cheers

Yes indeed, that is exactly what updating the radio is good for.
I don't think they are country/region specific,... I just used the latest one and my network signal is now much better!!!
All radio updates can be found in the sticky's at the top of the Hero-Development section,... Heres the link though,... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563757
Peace
nothing to add here, except DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY! it takes a few minutes and you may see a screen that makes you think you bricked your phone.

Yep yep,.... V-IMPORTANT!!!!!
Just wait.
Don't want to start an additional thread for my [question], so this seems to be a good place to ask it .
Where do these radio roms come from? How come HTC don't provide them for downloading in their site? Maybe it's simply not worth flashing them or they are actually not good in a sense that they are not tested properly and stuff?
Also, do the full ROM upgrades include a newer radio? So can we expect a new radio included in the upcoming official 2.1 ROM?
AND, what is the difference betwen EU and JU? Currently I have 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 and the newest one is 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26. This may sound super dumb, but maybe mine is like European one and the newest is Japanese or something?
Oh, and the last one (even though I'm sure there is an answer somewhere deep in these forums): how do you flash radio, in short?
Thanks

I'm no pro, but I can attempt this,...
Where do these radio roms come from?...
I *think* the official updates from HTC come with updated radio ROMS,... Then some clever guys from either here or Modaco take 'dumps' of the update from the handset itself, then seperate the two.
Maybe it's simply not worth flashing them or they are actually not good in a sense that they are not tested properly and stuff?...
I take XDA to be a reliable source of information now,.... If you do your research you'l be fine. I made sure I read through the forums to make sure there are no known issues before upgrading my radio to the latest one.
Do the full ROM upgrades include a newer radio? So can we expect a new radio included in the upcoming official 2.1 ROM?...
Hmmmm,.... Good question. But no-one would know that yet.
Maybe mine is like European one and the newest is Japanese or something?...
I thought the exact same thing, but NO,... It doesn't mean anything,... Apparently it is just a reference used by HTC. I used the latest on my Orange UK branded Hero, which is now being used with an o2 SIM.
How do you flash radio, in short?...
To install a custom firmware ROM I had to update the recovery console. Once that is done, you just put the new radio onto your SD, load into the recovery console, then select update from SD,... DONE,... Easy as pie,... Piece of cake!!!
Thanks all for the info.. And yes.. NEVER pull the Battery out of the phone.. untill you can slide down your lockscreen isn't it? haha

hi,
I am running 1.48.479.1 (71294) WWE. Now I found that on the HTC site is 1.66.479.2 available.
But there's no changelog. Where can I find out if it is necessary to flash ROM for me? Where are the changelogs?
Thank you.

My advice would be to not worry about small increases in versions of pre installed software.
If your phone is working for you, stick with it. If you have issues, try the new rom.
You can always go back to your current rom if you dont like the new one, but to be honest you won't see any big changes.
yes, thats the old good rule valid even with motherboard BIOSes etc...
But dont you know where can I get the changelogs?
Thank you for replying
1.72 was ment to be a bigish update cus there was apparently a speed increase. I personally couldnt tell the diffrence as its always been fast for me.
They are noted on the website.
Release note>
Where they will tell you this ONLY fix a problem with sms...
That is not true at all.
I noticed a few things including the change of location of one feature (task manager??). it's not anymore under start/settings/other.
I also noticed i have new bugs like this...sms focus lost confused, some slowness, etc...
I also noticed other changes but I forgot
Hi guys
Received a sms message from T-mobile announcing the official release of ROM update. Check out the Tmobile HD2 site.
Edit:
Installed the update; found nothing new or exciting and now reverting back to Kumar's TMHD2 Touch Premium 2.9 WWE
For those who have flashed 2.08.HSPL to use unofficial ROMs, if you install the official release by USB your 2.08 HSPL will still be intact after the upgrade and you can go back to other ROMs with out any problem. That's what I did by reverting back to Kumar's ROM.

I am curious too about what it is for, it would be cool if it was Windows 7.
I am running Energy Rom, and Radio 2.15.50.14, so I am assuming updating would be a bad idea.
I just got the sms message too - I'm downloading it right now from the t-mobile website.
Figures - I just put a different ROM on my phone - yesterday! hahaha

Still no multitouch keyboard. Is this not possible with WM6.5? I just can't understand why, almost a year after initial release, HTC has not released a multitouch keyboard for WM6.5 on the HD2. Iphone and Android have had it forever, and it makes SUCH A BIG difference!

As so many forum members have said, perhaps for a million times, ROM preference is really an art of matching ones individual needs; I have been testing several ROMs, Energy, Kumar's, Omega etc. and currently find Kumar's ROM meeting my needs. To me Kumar's ROMs seem stable and do not have many programs that the chefs generally tend to add to their custom ROMs. I like my system to be as minimum and as stable as possible so that I can add and customize it as I want.
So the best thing is to try couple of Custom ROMs and see if you feel comfortable with the version of ROM you have installed.
Also, the latest version of ROM (both Official, Custom) are generally less buggy.
For those of us who do not want to go for the custom ROMs, I guess today's official release from T-mobile should be the one we should be upgrading to. T-mobile must have ironed out previous noted bugs in this new upgarde. For the brief moments that I played with the official new release; everything was smooth and working. But as I said earlier, I have now reverted back to Kumar's ROM.
It appears that today's 'Official" release is the same as the leaked release from a couple of weeks ago.
The size of the RUU_signed.nbh is exactly the same size. The date is different but I doubt that means anything significant.
I never got any text from tmo. :-(
after attempting the update, I get 7 vibrations in a row at the tmo boot screen and then it freezes. Anyone else have this issue?
Just installed, took like 3 mins and it runs ok, they added new icons: amazon Mp3, Myaccount, Shazam and T-Mobile Help... my account and t-help icons are useless they dont do anything, still testing, i saw some improvements like faster reading from memory, now when i insert the sd card with a bunch of images, videos and music it takes less time reading them, the only issue that i got was that im unable to run android cuz it gets a weird screen and it does nothing, but if i get some problem i'll post it ok? thx!
what does the update even do?

I just updated to 2.13 the other day, and I put a custom ROM on my phone that I really really like alot since my phone seems to respond better to this one with no small lag. I have a question though, if I update to 3.14 will I loose the ability to put the custom ROM back on the phone or is it safe to update and put the custom ROM back in?
hi,
I have stock ROM 2.13.531.1
i recently installed HSPL3 and radio 2.15.50.14
now my quuestion is will i be able to install the new ROM without any problem? i dont want to brick my phone. Also will i be able to install the same radio 2.15.50.14 after installing the new stock ROM.
Hopefully htc have fixed the sms bug coz everytime i get a new sms my whole phone freezes for like 5 sec. and its really killing me.
thanks guys
Hi, I want to put my Semse 2.5 of TP2. Can you give me a link to download instructions on how to put it that something I own. Thanks!
Only way to install Sense 2.5 is to flash a ROM which contains it. Its too integrated with the OS to be able to install after the fact.
The website of htc.com in the last ROM that has a Sense wrote it? But I can not download it from there ...
Try here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows%20mobile&model=Rhodium
Thanks for the link, downloaded him. I have another question, is not this an official ROM, Can you upload it without making Hard-SPL. I do not want to do it again, I had problems with it. I just want to do frequently updated to the latest version of the site ... Can you?
You will only be able to flash the "official" ROM allowed by your carrier. Or the official HTC unbranded ROM if you have the unlocked Euro version.
I saw you relocked the SPL on the other thread. What problem did you have with it?
Just did not want to do a new Hard-SPL. But .. May will have ..
What problem did you have with HardSPL?
As far as I know, there is no reason to ever re-lock SPL, unless you need to return the phone for warranty repair.
If you mention which carrier you use, we would be able to point you to the latest update for it. I think AT&T is the only one to offer an upgrade to Sense 2.5. Everyone else is still on Sense 2.1 (TF3D).

Probably because the new HTC Sense 2.5 ROM suffers from all kind of performance problems? The carriers don't want to make the phone even more slow Only AT&T is stupid enough ;]

Haha, too true! Sense doesn't have to be that slow. They're just too lazy/greedy to make a decent ROM with good compression and without all the bloatware.
hi
I searched wm site, but couldn't find any information how to update hd2 wm6.5 to 6.5.3.
I don't want to flash any custom rom. Prefer to stay with official rom.
Any solutions?
there is only one solution, cooked rom.
@OP: Are you in the US and on T-Mobile?
in Turkey. unlocked.
The T-Mobile website has this file available for download for free, but you have to be a T-Mobile subscriber. The download asks for your IMEI number as well, so I'm not sure if this makes a difference. I suppose I could try to zip up the rom installer for you and upload somewhere, but I don't know what kinds of issues you'd run into, installing a US based rom on your device. You may just want to wait until a version is released in your locale.
Let me know your thoughts and I'll figure something out with you.
can anybody advice if that will cause any problem for making T-mobile update to a non-Tmobile device?
yes you can run tmous rom on regular hd2.
no, there is not a 6.5.3 official rom. if that is the implication two posts up, it is incorrect.
I have found on my experience that cooked ROM´s from great Chefs at XDA are always much better than stock ones, sai that and if you want to try them, read the sticky posts on ROM section.
If you want to go back again to stock you can do it with no problem.
Good luck,
I think Windows Mobile kinda scrapped the project its finish but seems like carriers don't care about updating their devices since not much change. That I know the only device running 6.5.3 its the sony ericsson Aspen and some motorola rugged phone for sprint.
