"and may be experiencing additional issues following successful downloads."
Not really sure what the "additional issues" are, but I hope that includes the radio problems, sensitivity problems, and the scrolling issues.
Yea, It was probably just refering to the slow download speed from the site. It's gonna be the same ROM with its issues.
Download is still there

It's still up there, but is there actually any way of navigating to that page from the site's front-end anymore? Bearing in mind that Joe Average Consumer wouldn't be browsing xda for the link, heh.
thanx alot my hd2 needs work
Unless they modified this update, it will make the phone less useful (as for my experience). I updated my htc hd2 but I immediately downgraded.
Yea It was up this morning my guess is t-mobile was getting excessive bandwidth issues with all the hungry consumers wanting this updated ROM, which they all very well should be !!! ROM has been on my device for over a week and I haven't had the need for a battery pull or reset since, everything is kosher,...there are complaints of lag, but I have not experienced any issues with my HD2 since I upgraded my ROM to the 2.13

I've updated to 2.13 yesterday and last night, it was taking up to 45 seconds to make a call. Holy Smoke!
I mean I've pressed call and put the phone up to my ear and took up to 45 seconds before I heard first ringing.
I'm looking into downgrading for now.
well i downloaded the update yesterday but then like half and hour later the update from the website was taken off and that made me think that it might of been something wrong with the update other than a downloading problem. until they put a new download i highly doubt that i will upgrade. hopefully tmobile will announce some news on what the update is doing to these phones cause many people have upgraded and most of them have different problems.

Not. Normal.
this is a junk upgrade!
Downgrading's easy. Just go to the sticky and download the 2.10.0 rom and then flash as you normally would and then you're set. I just did it this morning and boy what a difference.
This update has been very good for me, on both HD2 phones. Battery life is much better, reception is better, data is faster. I can see a difference in the touch-screen sensitivity from the original but everyone was complaining about it being too sensitive.
It would be good for HTC to develop an included GUI for adjusting the screen sensitivity.
For me this update has been very good!
There is a cab to change the sensitivity back.
it worked fine for me. second day and its fine.
It has been working great for me. No freezing (yet), and much faster response time. Weather updates still buggy. Opera browser got an update as well.

Looking at the verbage used in the statement issued by T-Mo, it makes it seem like by putting SOOO much emphasis on "trouble downloading" and then throwing a little 3 word "and after downloading" at the end that the real issue is the ROM. I say this because bandwidth is cheap (relatively) and for a wireless provider like T-Mo, pushing 200 mb files out to a small subset of their users should be nothing. I've downloaded 5+ gb of data from Microsofts websites the day that updates were released with no download issues what so ever.
My thoughts (and this is probably wishful thinking) are that maybe .01% of downloads failed (which is normal) and so they have the proof to back up their claims about the d/l being buggy, but the real issue is the actual ROM being bad
T-Mo is in the business of communication (aka transportation of voice data), they have the technology to push a relatively small file to an even smaller subset of users. I'm raising the BS flag on the download issues and hoping for a better ROM release.

Ok, but the file is back up on their site with the same version number. Indicating that is has been put back up for download, but no changes to the ROM.
A lot of the newest ROM's are based on this version, correct? Is so, how has the stability been affected? I have heard nothing but bad stuff on the update and am not surprised it was pulled. Are the ROMS based on that update OK to use. Stable? Fast? Screen jitters?
I am running Kumar 1.2 now and am considering upgrading.

Just a quickie to share my joy at my HTC HD2 that I now feel is the phone that should have been released way back 4 weeks ago.
I've recently upgraded to ROM 1.61 and the camera is fixed, the SMS sending issue has disappeared [both fixes have been released recently], its phenomenally fast, screen lock is working, installed programmes are great, various tweaks and cabs supplied by the fab community here work flawlessly [the ones I've installed anyway lol]
It seems to be fitting together quite nicely now.
Fingers crossed for an exciting future with my HD2!!!!!!
All those who agree say, "aye"!
I totally agree. Those people whining don't know what they are talking about, this device is the best of its kind out there, nothing can come close for me. I'm using a swype keyboard on my hd2 to write this message which has to be the best keyboard on a mobile device. It's just blazing fast to type with while looking so cool at the same time.
AYE!! (Although waiting for a decent radio)

Aye, man!
(Even though it would have been great to have HD2 at the 1.61 level from the very beginning. Wishful thinking, ain´t it? And I do still have the feeling that there is quite some room for improvements...)
also downloaded the new firmware. phone is running great now, battery life also seems much better than before. also just installed that swype keyboard. amazing!
I say nothing is fixed until there is an official release. HTC can't expect their customers to download rom's from XDA to get a device that works.
I agree, the 1.61 firmware is tops!
are you sure that you're finally satisfied?
You're not going to mention on how the edge of glass screen is too sharp and might cut your delicate fingers?
I'm glad you're enjoying it
Question is, when will 1.61 be officially released?! I'm a bit of a wuss, so i'm going to wait rather than install the leaked version. Can't wait for it though! Just to set my mind at ease regarding sms really. I haven't experienced the bug yet, but knowing it's been pre-emptively fixed (at least for me) would be lovely

Probably not too long, it was little over a week for the leaked 1.48 ROM to become official. If you're looking for a carrier specific ROM though expect to wait a little longer.
This is just my personal opinion though, I cannot vouch for HTC's time-scale.

100% agree!!!
If most ppl are really positive about it. They should release it officially. It is very strange to see 2 rom updates in couple weeks. Does HTC do that often?
Still very positive HTC is working hard to make it better.
Well i fully expect there to be bugs just like any new OS on any new device. The only thing is it take things like XDA to be beta testers, Android was beta for ages before there was even a device available for it.

Nah not looking for a carrier specific one. I think my HTC is stock anyway. It's on t-mobile, but i bought it from mobiles.co.uk. The youtube ap is still there, along with everything else that should be, and there's zero branding.
I'll keep my fingers crossed
+1 to being a little wussy on the leaked ROM update
I've only owned my HD2 for about...4 days now, so still a little scared.
but i will admit i do see some annoying bugs with the keyboard and lock screen. So far pretty good with SMS though, nothing to report there.
Just curious (and i'm a noob), when HTC officially releases the 1.61 update, how do you go about doing it?
I woudlnt expect it to have tons of steps like XDA informs you to switch ROMS does it?
is it a simple double click , wait and update?
Also, will it clear everything (reset registry, delete all programs)?
Cause ive done a bunch of registry tweaks and installed various programs, so i guess that might be a bit frustrating..
I've not had any particular problems with mine in the few days I've had it, (and I really love it!) so is there likely to be any benefit to me to upgrade from 1.48 to 1.61?
Happy to do it if there is, but I don't want to have to start from scratch unless it offers some genuine fixes/improvements rather than just some subjective/perceived ones.
The last comments I'd been reading about 1.61 the other day seemed to indicate that it didn't really do/change anything but is that incorrect? If that's wrong then I don't mind flashing.
My only real complaints are this bloody problem with music stopping when you lock it (coreplayer), and the stupid hardware buttons causing you to lose phone calls when you take the phone out of your pocket to answer a call. It's infuriating.
I've got different screenlock related apps but am having a spot of bother finding one that simply locks the hardware keys only while the phone is on standby (ie not locked while awake), or more probably getting the correct setup on one of these apps to achieve that. Each time I've tried so far I've resulted in a phone that won't unlock at all, due to bing unsure of correct settings.
Anyone with clear & precise settings for a lock appthat will do this and not mess with loads of other stuff would be VERY welcome to comment!
@Cret : Well there is somehow a solution for this. You might want to try this out (unlesss you havent already read it...)

Yes, a ROM upgrade is basically a click, wait and update. It also wipes the entire phone and resets registry settings.
Some of the radio-only ROM updates keep all settings intact but for if you're moving from 1.48 to 1.61, expect to have the phone wiped (I've never lost anything on the SD card during a ROM upgrade but most experts recommend to pull it out before you update.
That said - all is not lost for you. You can backup your contacts, calendar. SMS and other PIM data using "PIM Backup". This is a dummy proof program so don't hesitate to use it.
You can also restore your registry, HTC Sense settings and progs using "Sashimi" but I wouldn't recommend that if you're a noob. Then again, there's probably no better way to learn about the guts of your phone then slowly working through the "tons of steps" to get Sashimi to work!
When is 1.61 officially being released..........any idea ???
guys/gals do not upgrade you HD2 with a new software, it make it instable... many people have been reported issues with the phone, that they never had before.... so do yourself a favor don't do it! i did it and now i can listen to music it will show the tittle but it wont play it.. any advice?? thanks
If you have only just upgraded the software and you have a lot of songs, the song wont play untill it fully indexes all the files, give it some time and it will work.
Flash a custom rom for better stability

Where you find that version? I have latest ROM 1.66 WWE for Europe. I know is newer - 1.72.xxx but for Taiwan. Maybe your rom is not official?
he's talking about the US tmobile ROM that was pulled for not working.
The only problem I've got is the on screen phone buttons won't work during a phone call... real pain no pressing one!
Tap & slide makes the screen buttons work! SOOO... I have no problems now! I understand there are problems if you have purchased one of the preloaded games. However, they do warn you ahead of time.

Well I can honestly say that I have had absolutely no problems with this update! I have read all the stories about issues with the 2.13 update like weaker signal and screen sensitivity but everything couldn't be better! Screen works great if not better. Signal has somewhat improved. I used too have a problem with the native music player but now it works perfectly!
This update couldn't have come at a better time cause I was near returning this phone. The one thing i hated about this phone was that the swype didn't work the way i thought it would. It was actually one of the reasons i wanted to get it! It's so much better now, that I have written this whole reply on my hd2 using swype!
So i guess it could be device dependent or maybe it could be a bad download that you got. Try to download it again or from another source. I got mine here on xda but i forgot from which thread! Well i hope you get it ironed out cause the HD2 is a really great phone with so much potential!
i just bought my phone a week ago and i came with rom: 2.13.531.1 os version: 5.2.21892. and i cant even make it a day without the battery dying. what can i do to run longer? and the sms seems to lag just a lil bit.

I'm sorry you're having problems! I've had an opposite experience - better battery and more stable. Check the forum for battery saving advice... the best of which is turn off automatic backlight!
Mine got more stable as well with the update, my battery lasted about a day of pretty good usage so I wont complain. Light usage is about a day and a half / 2 days tops.
My only complaint is the less sensitive screen.
well i read that an update got pulled about a week ago and thats when i got my phone, but i talked to tmobile and they said they have put it back up so im goin to update as soon as i get a chance.
only reason it was pulled from the official upgrade site was lack of bandwidth....it's back up now and for those of you who are running stock roms, i HIGHLY suggest upgrading it will increase the device stability considerably, also it will fix some reception issues. overall highly recommended.
You Know... they ought to change the name of this thread.

I liked the phone before the upgrade with only GPS being a slight problem which got fixed after changing gps.conf (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731462).
Now the games I used to play and even movies slow down. Games like "Tower Raiders" struggle to run at full speed but the biggest problem is the UI. Its no longer smooth scrolling and the idle screen lock sometimes does not unlock the instant when swiped. This is not nit picking but when your using the phone as a phone… I want to make calls NOW not in a few minutes after the UI resets.
Ive always modded my phones and this one I didn’t want to because I liked the default system. Now I need to back level the phone due to its unusable interface. Not sure if this is something T-mobile will assist with but most likely need to do this myself. I wanted a factory phone and ended up being forced back down the mod firmware route.
dont upgrade!

Your last post was regarding vodafone 2.2 with the kies. Which firmware are you using, vodafone or tmobile. god knows about vodafone but know tmobile from the support pages have changed this firmware in some fashion.
--------------
not thought about factory reset, thanks i'll try this tonight as I use the phone for business. Games I can live without but for me, 2.2 brought very little over the loss of UI speed. I might have missed something outstanding in 2.2 (flash support not being one of them) but hope clearing the phone before retrying helps speed things up. All I can say is that before the 2.2 upgrade I was very happy, now im to be honest a little naffed off.
http://blog.walshie.me/2011/04/04/so-who-wants-windows-phone-updates-like-right-now/
I did this. My Focus was totally stock. No mods. This took less that 10 minutes total.
After it was complete, all of my stuff was still there. About as painless as it could get.
There was no chance to backup anything. Also this can't be reversed. But who cares? It worked great.
Make sure you download the 32 bit or 64 bit versions as appropriate to the PC the phone is connected to. If you read some of the comments, you will get the feeling that the few that complain probably ran the wrong version.
If you are not sure if you are 32 or 64 bit, go to Control Panel, then System. It will tell there.
The No mods portion is quite misleading. If it runs Chevron, chances are it is modding it. I would be stunned if this didn't void your warranty, absolutely stunned. The only way to update sans any mods would be to wait for the update to come. Otherwise, you might as well run the debrander and update that way...
Concerned
I used this to update to pre-NoDo (7004-7008). I have not done NoDo yet and I'll tell you what my concern is. I would like to know where this update is coming from (I am assuming the MS servers) and whether it is the same version currently being tested by AT&T. I am concerned that there may be AT&T or Samsung specific "fixes" in the AT&T version that are not included in the version being downloaded through this method. Wish someone could tell us.
Well I did it all
Went to nodo and my samsung is working fine if you need me to test some things for you just let me know and I will be happy, as far as warranty goes whenever I did chevron I didn't worry about it anyway, nor did I when I have had any previous devices.
My phone was not modded prior to the update. As far as I can tell it is still unmodded. I didn't see anything happen except the two updates. There is a command window open while this process is taking place.

Samsung firmware updates come separate. This update method works because Microsoft released " Windows Phone Support Tool "; Chris acknowledges. When you update, your specific phone gets identified.
I have a non-mod AT&T Samsung Focus. Like everyone else who followed the directions it took about 10 minutes, and worked perfectly. I've tested the features and my apps and it is much snappier. I'm happy with it!
*** Oh, I also used the windows phone support tool before trying to update ***

chevronupdater
Here's the chevronupdater for 64 bit windows. Also, i had trouble doing this as it would run and not update anything. Then i ran windows phone support tool and it updated my focus from 7004 to 7004.3 or something. If it's not working for you, you could try that
You guys might also want to go ahead and download .Net 4, since the updater apparently requires it.
I would link directly to it, but I haven't posted 8 times yet!
One general thing I noticed last night
My phone kept chiming .........bing, bing, bing, bing bing bing......... well you get the point. I turned it off and back on and it came back so at that time I just switched my phone to vibrate reason I have no idea besides that it has been running great.

Do you have a Focus? This behavior has been reported with the Focus a few times, in fact there is a thread somewhere about this. I had(?) this as well. The battery icon would flash like it was charging when it was not connected to a charger. When the usb cable was plugged in it behaved normally. It would not allow the screen to turn off. I worked with ATT Technical Support as well as Samsung. ATT informed me it was a known problem and they had seen many cases, MS knew of it and it was being fixed "in the next update". This was over a month ago. Mine stopped this behavior. I was normally able to stop it by plugging it into the PC and then, through a combination of turning off Zune, turning off the phone and unplugging while the screen was off, get it to stop.

Thanks J I see you everywhere on Focus post lol, yes I have a Focus I need to update my sig I know. It was the first time I experienced that I had my Focus since launch and it has been unlocked since the chevron came out, until I tried the unbranding update ;(. But it is up and running since running chevronupdate, I really haven't noticed anything as of yet, because my device was running fine prior to update, but the XDA disease really keeps my wanting more Thanks for the update big guy.

I know, I need to get a life. I got tired of tweaking and upgrading when I was in my "crazy" phase with WM 6.5. Thought I "had to" constantly visit here and update. Didn't realize until I had WP7 that I really didn't need to do that. But, I did not want to wait for that foot dragging AT&T to get me this simple update but also had no interest in sideloading apps. This was a perfect solution.
Wonder why the updater was pulled?????

I know, I need to get a life. I got tired of tweaking and upgrading when I was in my "crazy" phase with WM 6.5. Thought I "had to" constantly visit here and update. Didn't realize until I had WP7 that I really didn't need to do that. But, I did not want to wait for that foot dragging AT&T to get me this simple update but also had no interest in sideloading apps. This was a perfect solution.

I am guessing ATT, asked MS to do it because it looks like it makes them seem to not care about customers (worked a while for Cingular/ATT) and alot of things I know can be implemented into devices and they just don't. They nickel and dime us to death I think MS should I hate to say it (do like Apple) and just push the updates themselves to the devices and only radio updates should be pushed by providers (the only thing they need to do anyways). If anyone needs it I have it in my dropbox (the chevron upate 32 and 64)
Agreed

The worst thing MS did was allow the carriers to play such a significant role in the update process, especially their "Premier Partner", AT&T. I worked for them for 9 years during a time when customer satisfaction was at the core of the company. Today's AT&T is not that company, not even a shadow. MS will get the brunt of the criticism for this early update fiasco, even though AT&T deserves the blame. MS will receive it because consumers view this as an MS update. In addition, MS agreed to this "model" with the carriers so, in a way, they deserve the criticism.
AT&T Samsung Focus Success!!!!
Detail and I don't know how many had this issue. DO NOT turn off your phone before the update as the Windows Phone Support Tool instructions tell you. I know, I know, but I did that for quite some time until I decided NOT to turn off the phone.
Did have to run it twice, but I've already copy and pasted to my heart's content
Great job guys.....Thanks a million!!!!!!
just Unbrand
I just got a new Samsung Focus and all I did was dev unlock my device because I am a dev, but after that all I did was plug in my phone, unbrand it, and I got the 7008 update, followed by the another check and I got the Nodo update. No other mod necessary. Just an unlock and an unbrand and I got both updates.
Got the official 7740 Update via Zune, anyoe got a Changelog?
I'm Installing it right now - will post anything new i find
Nothing noticeable in this Update -_-
DVP - Great Smartphone - Great Software - Missing OEM Update= Useless ****! Dell you SUCK!
Sent from my Dell Venue Pro using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Microsoft's aim with WP7 isnt to introduce anything new or mind blowing, its to just improve feature level functionality without confusing the end user.
Like a Boss indeed!!
I got nothing on my unlocked US T-Mobile Version of DVP =/
Yeah just got the update for my factory unlocked TMO DVP and nothing we can notice at all. Just bug changes that probably affect a small batch of us. Here's the screen shot of a somewhat of a changelog:

Still waiting for a unique WP7 phone as a replacement to the DVP
Can we please stop using "Like a boss". It is a bit childish. I am not trying to flame here but it is nice coming to a forum that is mostly professional.

How about we let people just be themselves. I know I'm not a senior member, but I see no need to censor anyone.
the multi-tasking resume time on apps seems to be faster from the beta. And overall seems faster response time. I would recommend a battery pull for everyone after the update also, that helped mine too.
I updated mine yesterday and it seems to be fine except for one thing. I used to get "H" all the time, now only 3G. Anyone experience the same issue? Pulled the battery a few times already and still the same.
Anyone else updated yet? Seem to be very few update reports, havent got it myself yet.
nothing for me yet
Well it would seem its tmobile blocking this update, my generic DVP got the prompt and updated ok while my tmo locked one still claims 7720 is up to date.
Such a disgraceful state that US carriers are so intent on blocking updates for the devices they carry and have effectively killed the market for true unlocked phones.
my att DVP when from the beta 7720.212 to 7720.219 and now it says its up to date, is that true or should I have 7740?

Yes, that's correct. 7720.219 is the latest firmware version.
The 7740 OS update was relatively minor and Dell has not released new firmware since the Mango release. Therefore, the firmware version number has not changed since Mango.

That's what I have on mine. Are you only seeing 3G or do you get "H"? I used to but after the update I only get 3G.

I have noticed this on my phone as well. I remember it showing 'H' more often with the 212 firmware than it does now. Similarly, I did not see 'H' very often prior to the 212 firmware.
I suspect my signal strength may be near to the borderline, as I haven't seen many other people mentioning this.
In the 212 firmware, Dell made some tweaks to improve signal strength (http://wmpoweruser.com/dell-venue-pro-users-new-fw-report/). Not sure if any of this changed in 219 - it's possible.

I might just revert back and see if it makes any difference. Maybe that's the only way to find out.
