HTC HD2 t-mobile-us update? - HD2 General

i recieved a text message this morning from t-mobile saying that a new software update for my HD2 was available for me to download i was wondering if anyone had downloaded it if so what does it do or change or what? is it worth the download and upgrade would like some feed back thanks.

I would say so unless your using a custom rom?
Most custom roms are based on 2.13, that TMobile USA use.
But please note it i will delete everything off the phone unless you have backed up to your memory card.

one thing it changes is disables the internet sharing app and adds a myaccount app.

[UPDATE][OFFICIAL] HTC update for SIM Contacts

I searched and couldnt find anything,
New update released by HTC today.

New update for SIM Contacts?
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=839
This update for HTC HD2 allows for contacts stored on your SIM card to be properly displayed on your phone along with Phone and Exchange Server contacts.
The problem is, unlike last hotfixes, this comes in form of a RUU, so you'll loose your stuff on the phone.
It also says it's for ROMs equal or inferior to 1.59.XXX.X., which either means we'll have a new ROM soon, or that this is the new ROM (1.59). I haven't tryed it yet, but I downloaded it in case HTC deletes it. Anyone had a go yet?
What do you mean we will loose the stuff on our phone?
Funny, how did you find this update. Because its not listed anywhere in their support section......
Indeed, it is not listed on Worldwide or UK software downloads for the HD2. Could be that this is a leaked link that is about to published or a malicious link. Im not in a a paranoid mood but I'll not install until its visible in the official software download list.
Ah, if you select "Update" as the category it appears. Bad web site management means it doesn't appear in the "All" category.
I follow their RSS news. The minute there is an update, my RSS reader notifies me =)
That's how I found out.
jrvenge, using the RUU (ROM Update Utility) it warns you that "Installing this update will delete all the information on your pda phone", because it's installing a new ROM.
I just don't have the guts to backup everything, do it myself and then through all the trouble to get everything back into the phone, just because of SIMs contacts...
I did that but still nothing...

It is the latest Radio-ROM 15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07 and nothing more.
Nope, it didnt even show up on RSS...strange, anyways Im still waiting for the Swedish ROM update to come. Strange why it takes them so long just to translate the rom.. :S
I got it before it's gone. File name RUU_LEO_07662_20091217.exe with file size 12,636KB.
Whats gone ? I can still access it trough the link given..
It's back online!

Why would one mask Radio ROM update for a "SIM Contacts fix". HTC should fire cryptoidiots that have occupied their site. Guessing what another update with a silly description actually does never been so hard.
How are you so sure it is the latest radio version?
Did you install it?
I downloaded the update from their Asia site. It's a ~12 MB file. It showed up on my RSS feed, but, again, I subscribed from HTC SEA site.
Anyway, even though it looks like a RUU, it's not very drastic. I've applied the update. The only change I've noticed is that it upgraded my radio to 2.06.51.07. I was - and still am - using the stock ROM 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE. I didn't have any contacts saved to my SIM sard, so can't really comment on the the efficacy of the actual objective of the target. :-S
Didn't delete my data or anything like that. So, didn't need to restore any backup.
Hmmmmm
donest work form Vodafone stock roms

The radio version is the same as rom 1.61. Battery life of rom 1.61 is a lot better than the 1.48 version. Is this also what you experienced.

No need to flash, a comparison is enough. It is binary identical to the Radio ROM from 1.61.

HTC Pure download AT&T apps after flashing Rom

Was wondering if I am the only one that cannot download apps directly from AT&T to my phone (such as the AT&T WiFi app) after flashing with a cooked rom? I put Dutty's Holy Grail R6 on and now I cannot download. Is it just me or does the "Phone Identity" (that now states: Touch Diamond2 T5353) block you from downloading when you select your phone as the "Pure" on their site?
Help
Well, I copied the installation cab for Wifi to my SD card when I still had the stock rom. I have since installed this app on every custom rom I have loaded and it works perfectly.
Good for you.... I was lazy and forgot to grab stuff from my stock rom. I cannot even connect to device:home on the thing now. I read a couple of other threads with similar issues on the Tilt2, but I cannot find a resolution.
If you send me a PM with your email address I can at least help you with the wifi app.
PM sent. Thanks!!

Official ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 (T-Mobile) UK 26/04/10 1.72.110.4

Sorry if other people have already seen this, I did a search and couldn't find anything. I just noticed that T-Mobile have released (via HTC) an official UK (and Germany and Czech Republic) a 1.72 version of the ROM for the HD2 on the 26th April 2010 (2 days ago).

Im installing now...where do I find that info ? biggest noob of em all
Is this just for T Mobile usres as the name sugests??
Im on O2, completely new to Winmo and smart phones at that!!!
Not rele sure what i need to do, but im trying to sort things out.
No to 3.5..... shocker
Manila 2012 but I can't see any differences over the former 1920..... please feel free to correct me
Personally, I can't see / feel many if any decent changes.......
If you install, your phone will be as you originally received it (save the updated software) so you will have to re-install everything...
If I had the previous 1.43 I would flash back...
I havent added anything as yet as i only had it since monday!!
Sorry to sound dumb, was is flash back??
Then you have nothing to worry about....
is there some sort of changelog for this?
please do report on what its like, particularly stability and messaging
then i might do my first HD2 flash...
i upgraded from original 1.43 stock rom and must say its a lot smoother than before, doesnt freeze up as much very little lagging.
no real difference in battery life, maybe a touch better but the main difference for me is that HTC messaging works instead of me having to rever back to wm messaging.
also, it came with .net 3.5 so i dont know why others have said it doesnt.
well im sold!
will DL and flash tonight!
thanks for the report jonyid
Any Ideas
Hi Guys
I cant seem to be able to download the T-Mobile rom from HTC's site. When I enter my serial number the site says that Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. Yet I am a UK user on T-Mobile with rom version 1.66.405.2 what am I doing wrong?

What ROM are you using, as T-MobUK have only had 1.43 and now 1.72?
I am also with T-MobUK but I quickly dumped ROM 1.43, HSPL'd and went for the HTC standard WWE 1.66 ROM. Since T-MobUK 1.72 is WWE1.66 with T-Mob bloatware added, then there is no point updating.
If you really want the 1.72 ROM, I'll get it for you.
Hi Please ignore above I have just discovered even though I bought my phone as a t-mobile one it is in fact the unlocked phone, so am I right in understanding that the latest rom for my phone (according to HTC's Site) is 166.405.2

I recently upgraded my Tmobile 1.43 Rom to the new 1.72.110.4 from the HTC website. So far it seems to be ok. Not much of a difference: Solitaire and Bubble breaker have been added, You Tube, Bing search and one or two additions as well. Most importanly however is the performance of the HTC messaging program. I used PIM back toback up for my text messages, contacts, calender. Ugraded the ROM, (took about 10mins or less) and restored text messages from the back up file.
Restore process showed me 7000+ texts copied to the device. Restarted the device, checked messaging and got the "restoring messages" status bar. Took about 1 hour since then, I have noticed a marked improvement in the HTC messaging application. Can now continue using the phone even when a text comes in, can delete without having to wait ages for the device to start up again.
BTW I have some apps installed: TomTom 6, Swype, Skype, TCPMP player, Registry editor, etc.
Hope that information helps or encourages someone!
does anyone know if its possible to go back to the 1.43 ROM??? (just curious....)
Noob question here... as I have flashed my device and installed a custom ROM (or many) already will this take HSPL off my device? Will it be ok to do the normal install or will it brick my device?
I'm just trying to get my phone back to stock Rom levels as I need to return it to Tmobile and this is the only place I've managed to find the TmobileUK stock ROM.
Help? Please?!
Can anyone help with this at all? Please?!

i am not able to get updates from T-MOBILE site as getting message the upgrade is not for this device.
Please help
Thanks in Advance
no pointers folks ?
Regards
Check the HTC website. You cannot upgrade directly from 1.5 to 2.1 using ota as far as I know. So update to the latest ROM available for your carrier from the HTC website and following that you should be able to get the ota update properly.

Bell HTC Legend not seeing 2.2 update

Hi,
I have a locked HTC Bell Legend, which as some of you might know is now upgradeable to 2.2 via an OTA update as of last week.
The problem I'm having though is that my phone isn't seeing any updates (gives the "your phone is up to date" popup when I check). I have tried rebooting, going through wifi, using *#*#checkin#*#*.
Does anyone have any ideas or know of a place I can manually install the update?
Thanks for any help.
You can either root your Legend and install a custom FroYo ROM or go to the following website and install the Bell 2.2 rom.
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Legend/
Thanks!
I've never installed a ROM this way before, can someone point me to a helpful guide? I searched around a bit and didn't find much.
EDIT: to clarify, the links above are to the official Bell 2.2 ROMs, but doesn't have the RUU. I can't find any resources on how to install an official ROM release without RUU on a locked phone.
make a gold card, download the htc 2.2 world wide english edition update, with the gold card in your phone runt the update, it worked for me i installed 2.2 a month ago without rooting my phone. I have also sim unlocked my phone.
when its done put in the apn data for your carrier and your good.
addition to first post:
im also with Bell.
email me and i will send you the link for the one step gold card.
I *do* get the update, but it fails because I removed some of the stock apps.
I've been trying to find the APKs for these (yes, I know, I should have made a backup).
Does anyone have, or can point me in the right direction for getting these apps back ? In particular the stock (DCSSTOCK.apk) and twitter apps.
Thanks,
Rob.
You can switch the rom.zip inside the ruu with any other official rom I think. If you don't want to make a gold card.
