Did you try this? better than the original one they put out? I'm wondering why it's the same version number. Seems like a good way to confuse people.
Supposedly there were issues with downloading the originial release, so they had to correct that. But, the version they put up is the same one as before.
I've got all 3 "versions" of the new ROM now (leaked, first official issue, and this new one now too) and they're all the same.
Confusing? Yes. Big deal? Not really
so basically this isn't going to fix any issues? you downloaded it and it's the same everything? Why would they bother?

Well yes it's the same as the first release of the 2.13 ROM if that's what you mean. I think they just put it back up because there's people who didn't get it before they had to pull it temporarily for the downloading issues. I assume it'll stay available there from now on.

I used the First release and still have it on my computer at home. I downloaded the leaked version and it was a godsend. I hear when they made it official on the 18th it caused people a lot of problem even bricking. according to the link they where having server issues and that is why they had to pull the official release but I guessed they fixed the issues now. It is the same ROM version as the one I have so your guess is as good as mine. I think sirphunkee has them all downloaded but has not implemented them and is still running 2.10xxx

Correct, and I should have made that clear...still on 2.10, haven't flashed any of the upgrade downloads.
Somewhere in one of the threads in this section about the upgrade, the leaked version and the first "official" releases were compared and found to match bit-for-bit. Also, T-Mobile forums had confirmation that the recent re-release is identical to the one they put up before the download issues. So, by the commutative property of Windows Mobile Mathematics (WMM), they're all the same
However, that's not to say that the end experience from those who have flashed any of the three doesn't vary greatly. Some report a near-magical cleansing of demons, others are suddenly needing an exorcism...and this is across all three "releases" of this ROM.

I forget where I read...but a lot of people where having issue when the flashed to a custom rom then flashed to the upgraded tmobile rom with out returning their phones back to stock. I guess that was a major issue. Or people had to factory reset then run the upgrade I didn't do either of those things when I flashed and it worked great. I mean I didnt have CHT or Editor on but I did have a bunch of apps.
I bought my HD2 last week and the rom it came with from the factory is 2.13.531.1. I have had the phone freeze on me 2 or 3 times in the week I have owned it. Even though the rom that was just released is the same version would it still be a good idea to flash it? I am coming from a G1 and on occasion have flashed a rom and the phone ran like crap. Then upon re flashing the same exact rom the phone ran like normal.
I upgraded last evening, despite my initial trepidation.
Everything seems smooth now--a lot of the hiccups when texting seem to be gone (out of order texts, highlighting of last text sent and lag when trying to write a text that is part of a longer thread).
Swype is working a 100x better.
So far, so good.

That happens with winmo as well as android....after flashing a ROM, sometimes either a re-flash, or an immediate hard-reset is needed to get it to "stick". In fact, most chefs recommend doing a hard-reset right after a new flash, just to be safe, and I've seen numberous times where a buggy install is fixed perfectly just by doing that. So, if you're fine with the effort involved, I would certainly suggest it...it certainly can't hurt
Cool. Thanks for the info sirphunkee.
Software Upgrade or ROM
I downloaded the update from T-Mobile and have it running on my HD2. Was this an update to my ROM, so a hard reset will reload this update? I talked with a T-Mobile rep on the phone who said a hard reset would remove the update and I would have to re-install it.

Good thing you asked here to be sure
No, a hard-reset will only "reload" whatever the currently flashed ROM is...whether it's an official update or a custom ROM.

strange, my flash worked with the original ROM
I had the same problem, flash icon disapeared after rom upgrade. It was the newest Dopod rom. Nothing I did would fix it, so I figured I could live with out it. Well when I upgraded to the So. African rom it came back. I guess it gets missed sometimes in the rom pack. I even ran the Dopod rom again to see if it was just missing from the rom, but it worked that time. Switched back to So. african rom again and flash is there no propblem.

Problems might be solved by wiping the original rom and install MoDaCo's 1.5 one.
I have been with these problems for days and after install 1.5 rom from MoDaco, everything goes fine again.
The fact proves they are not hardware faults.
They are almighty system BUGS!!!

I'm offering an alternative to those who are unable to get warranties or relunctant to wait for a new but probably another unreliable phone set.
You may ignore this if you are confident to get a new phone without extra cost.
Seen as there is meant to be an official update coming from HTC sometime in the near future I'm going to hang around for that, if one fails to materialise then I'll start using one of the custom ROMs.
Having said that, everything currently works on my Hero. And so it should, it's only 5 days old.

If you can reproduce the fault by going back to the stock state (and hopefully get the LED/Headjack faults again) you have proved that there is a software bug in the phone.
i never had any doubt it is a software thing when a simple app, Toggle Headset, bypasses the 3.5mm jack problem, and that problem is always present and simultaneous with the LED problem :/
you don't fix motherboard problems with a widget, so it obviously isn't a motherboard problem :/

If the problem is reproducable by flashing the Hero back to the original ROM and waiting a couple of days får the problem to reappear it's 100% confimed. But so far this thread is my best hope that HTC really knows of the problem since [email protected] apperantly "fixed" it...

Problems? I've installed 4 different versions and 3 radios now, no issues at all! Its usually people who don't follow instructions who have the issues.
Official is available on MoDaCo's website, you can try that.
As for warranty, make a nandroid backup and you can go back to stock and re-do recovery partition easily.
Comfirmed. Updating to latest Version fixed the issue. I just restored a old nandroid backup and problem is gone... Weird, as i was expecting it to be there..will now flash back to latest version... still unsure if i should go about getting my phone replaced...
I sent my hero back to HTC who MAKE the phone and they replaced the mainboard
IF they don't know who does ? why doesnt a hard reset fix it?

<DISCLAIMER>
THIS IS JUST A THEORY!!! I REPEAT THAT IT'S JUST A THEORY!!!
I have a friend who has a theory why a hardreset doesn't fix it:
It's because HTC shipped the phones with a factory configured image wich might have differed from the ROM mage flashed to to phone in the first place. When all of us had to do our first hard reset the ORIGINAL ROM image replaced the factory configured image which apperantly contained software to poll the headphone jack to see if the user put a jack in there. That software DIDN'T exist in the flashed ROM image.
THE ABOVE IS JUST A THEORY!!!

SO why did it work at first and what has the LEDS go to do with it? i reset my phone twice and it all worked fine it was a week or so later that it went wrong if it worked why did it stop?
dont worry about invalidating ur warranty, just make sure you do a nandroid backup before you flash , any issues or need to go bak to stockrom just do a restore!!

If you make a nandroid backup your warranty will not be invalidated once you restore it. Get Your facts right.
Flashed almost every version of MODACO and no problems whatsoever.

Hey guys the offical update just came out i just didn't notice cause they have the picture of the Touch Pro2 for it. So go and get it guys!! Just go to t-mobile.com/wmupgrade
Before I even install this...just wanna make sure. Is the HSPL going to be overwritten?
Thanks! I didn't notice it either.
yeah can custom roms still be installed?

As far as i know it does change it from 2.08 to 2.10. so i recommend you do some research before installing this update cause as of now i don't think there is a way to override 2.10 to have hspl.
It's just the 2.13 ROM, from what I saw on the download page.
In this event: The WMobile OS version is the same.
Ok so I installed it, I then read where people said it was twitchy and such and....well it is. My clouds no longer glide across my screen, they now twitch across my screen. I'm downgrading back to 2.10 until 2.13 is better.
its working for me...

Touch Screen Not Responsive
My issue with the new version is that the touch screen is flaky. I have to swipe my finger harder to move from screen to screen and push harder to get the characters to work. Went back to a cooked rom.
No more touch response issues
I re loaded the official rom again and voila, my touch senstivity issues are gone....I am not sure what else got changes between the first release and the official one(18th May), but I am not seeing the touch sensitivity issues..its smooth and am able to click on the x button without any issue...
im having touch problem and connection problem it keeps loosing service and serches for service, i didnt have this problem on the old rom, is there anyway to fix those without going back to the old version?
Please see the general forum for the fix on sensitivity:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683192
As for the Radio, in the 2.13 version the radio was updated, so yes you may have different results from different radios in your area, please see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669733&page=3
for your answer on HSPL, yes 2.13 will overwrite it to SPL 2.10; however if you re-install 2.10 then it will re-write the SPL to 2.08, and then you can re-install HSPL....
Topic to General please...

I hard reset and then also reflashed the ROM, still had the same issues. I liked the menu's to "bounce" when I hit the top or bottom and scroll smoothly. I applied all the registry edits and it didn't help much, like I thought it did. My Sense weather was very twitchy and it really bothered me. I downgraded back to spl 2.08 and my 2.10.531 ROM for the time being. It is much better now, I never had any issue's to begin with so the update seemed pointless.
Looking at some custom ROM's right now.
I am fed up with official rom3.14. It has so many issues. Is there any way that I can downgrade it to starting rom 1.3 which I had when I unboxed it? I dont have any hspl or any thing else. I also dont know about it. This is my first upgrade!

try this thread, it should have whichever ROM you are looking for
or you can get adventurous and flash a custom ROM
youcan also download any official rom from HTC site. just install older official ROM and youll downgrade it.

If you want to flash a custom ROM then go check out the guide in my sig as it will tell you what HSPL is and how to flash it or revert it back to SPL. It also has links to how to install Android to NAND or WP7 if you want to go that route, plus it will give you some good knowledge on what everything is that is needed to do that.

I still have the 2.13 stock T-Mobile USA ROM that came on the phone.
I have not yet flashed to the newer one, only that I have not had the time, as it requires reinstalling and reconfiguring all apps, etc, afterwards, a big undertaking.
But I have intended to flash to the newer ROM, when I get around to it. All the reports I have read here and elsewhere have stated that the newer ROM is much improved.
Therefore, I am surprised to read that you find the new one much worse. Could you please explain, and tell us what you find worse about it?
Thank you.

Just to let you know if most of you apps com from the official Market Place it has an option when you go to my apps in the market app that gives you an option to download and install all of the apps you have install or purchased from the market either all at one time or one at a time if you want. Also the Omarket app has the same my apps option but you have to download and install them one by one on there. So if you go to a good WiFi spot you can have all of your apps back in hardly no time really. And if you have apps that you did not use either of these apps to download and install just download the cab file for the app and store them in a file on your SD card, I have one on my SD card named Cab files just in case I go back to Win Mo.
I tell you. Ilost option enble clear type and screen alignment. My compasonly shows direction the location and other features are gone. I have got storahe issue. My album evry time it opens it uses up 12mb of internal storage. I get 24 mb lost if I open my album twice. I had wallpaper_09 default in all tabs and after updating all tabs are horrible black! There is much more too... Without clear type the web pages look horrible!!!
Everything is working flawlessly for me, I have had zero issues with this ROM since day one. Maybe I just don't use the phone enough or really stress it, but I have yet to come across any quirks on this leaked 4.5.573. Everything works - gps, netflix, any apps I download, corporate sync, etc. etc.
Is there any sense in upgrading to the latest official OTA GB? I figure if it ain't broke don't fix it...right? Or are there compelling reasons to go ahead with the official OTA? And if the answer is YES UPGRADE, what's the best way to do this considering I'm on 4.5.573 right now? BTW, I'm on Cricket.
I've got this same question. I want to upgrade for several reasons, but what I've read on several sites is that we have to do the SBF thing back to 2.2, then upgrade.
Almost none of the threads I've read at several sites even mention .573 anymore, so I'm not exactly sure of the route to go.
Why do you want to upgrade? Are you running into problems? Unless there's a good reason to upgrade I'd prefer not to, especially if I have to SBF in order to upgrade. That means I'll have to re-do my Cricket flash which I've probably done 50 times now but I'd prefer not to have to do it again.
hey guys,
i am on version 596 of gb, the official version. and i would highly recommend upgrading, there is a new kernel and new baseband. that means the phone runs more smooth and you have cleaner calling and stuff. i have noticed a big improvement in the new kernel and stuff. it would be very beneficial to upgrade in my opinion.

Those were the reasons I wanted to upgrade. Performance took a GOOD bump in the updates after .573
I just followed the instructions here...

Method 2 worked for me, the first one wouldn't detect my phone. I got a boot loop after it finished so I booted into recovery and cleared the cache/data factory reset.
Now it's all fine.
Now to find the right set of GB update roms.
you'll want the updated radio found in the later versions and .596 runs buttery smooth. about a week of heavy use not one reboot or crash.
I gotta say, I'm VERY glad I did it. It was smooth and quick before, but good lord, this is CLEAN.
Not one reboot, not one crash, all NOICE!
i'm on 4.5.573 with root and the phone has been running crazy slow for the last week. will this work? i'm trying method 2 but it will not recognize my phone.
thanks!
