Official T-Mobile USA HD2 ROM Upgrade! - [2.13.531.1]

Here are a few links with information (including the HTC website download mirror) regarding the official update from T-Mobile USA, courteously provided by: Pocket Now!
Upgrade Announcement!
ROM Information!
I will most likely be applying this update within the next few days. Although, I'm a little hesitant just because I figure that certain, "Manila modifications" won't operate properly on this upgraded T-Mobile USA version... NOT YET ANYWAY!

Thanks,
Downloading

Install new ROM and restore from Sprite
I plan to install the new official ROM and then do a full restore from a Sprite backup that I will have done while on the old ROM.
Will that work
Do I need to do anything different with Sprite or is it just a normal restore
Thanks for any advice.

I have downloaded this version and installed it...i think its slow and it lags. so i got rid of it and i flashed back old one.

I wouldn't advise that...
Just go ahead and perform the usual steps of "starting fresh."
It's not worth risking any system "tainting" that could occur in the process of another system recovery from a different ROM image.
Besides, if you don't think the update is worth performing in the first place, stick with your current setup.

Really?
Most everyone that has provided a testimony for "TmoNews" has suggested that only improvements are noticed... nothing negative to report.
I would suggest that you CLEAR/CLEAN the RAM after the installation. Use a program such as Memory Maid to run a few system maintenance diagnostics.
Otherwise, give this "new" ROM time to "settle" on your device. 24-hour tests are usually the best idea.

I have installed the new ROM. Things are very similar to way they were before. Didn't feel HD2 getting faster or slower. However, I have a strange problem now: Right now I don't have a data plan so I'm using my WiFi connection to get to the internet. One of the first apps I installed after flashing the new ROM is Omarket. Few hours ago, i.e. before flashing the ROM, Omarket was working fine but now it cannot connect to internet! Opera mobile works fine though (I downloaded Omarket with it!). There are other strange things going on as well: I have an MS exchange account. I can sync my emails over WiFi but contacts do not get synced! It seems that somehow some programs can use WiFi and some others cannot. Couldn't figure out what's going on yet...

Any changelog ?

UPDATE CHANGELOG! (Personal Analysis)
Here are a few changes that I've noticed since upgrading to this ROM yesterday evening:​
The HTC Sense menus no longer have the "snap back" feature.
The overall screen sensitivity has been increased.
HTC Peep, the standard Twitter client appears to be completely removed.
The lock screen no longer "stutters" (on occasion) during the "slide to unlock."
Upgraded radio, including the version number.
Upgraded ROM, including the build number.
"T-Mobile Help," the micro-forums application has been included.
"My Account" has been included, with a more "feature-rich" experience.
"Swype" now has HAPTIC FEEDBACK, whereas my version of Swype did NOT prior to this update.

I saw on the Freeware Pocket PC twitter that they where having problems with the OMarket, Maybe this is what you where experiencing. Did the regular market work?

Haptic feedback on Swype.... interesting.
How well does Swype work for holding down a key to get the alternate symbol (like numbers & punctuation). On mine you can hold if down for days and never get the popup - I had to install version 2 to make it work.
BTW - I think I like the layout for version 2's symbols better, especially the numbers, but might be interesting to try out this Rom after enough people give feedback on it.
Missing Twitter tab would be... odd.

Why is this release coming from a HTC web site rather than T-Mo? I'm thinking of upgrading but dread going back through all the settings.

This problem appears to have been fixed in the new ROM.

One thing I noticed is that the new T-Mobile Help app hooks into the dialer and hijacks attempts to dial 611. Dialing 611 brings up the help app and then eventually the phone may dial 611 itself later.
The whole effect is... bizarre and unwelcome.

I cant get the My account or Help application to work. When I click the icon it shows me the initial screen and says "the my account application will be downloaded shortly" and just sits there. Did I somehow mis-flash the rom? I can't imagine this is the case.

Because the phone was created and manufactured by HTC. Just like Apple releases the updates for its iPhone; not AT&T.

I have the same

my account application works fine on my hd2. overall, the updated rom seems to run a lot smoother. however, i still get the lag in sms but the freezing issues (to the point where i had to take out the battery once or every other day during sms) seem to be gone.

Did you have any troubles with the installing of the update? Anything at all that went not according to plan?

.CAB request: Tmobile Help/My Account **SOLVED**

Hello folks-
I flashed the new update and things have been nice and steady. The only problem I've had is I cannot access the My account or Tmobile applications. I have shortcuts to them and when I click on them I go to a page with an anime guy holding a phone and a message in the center of the screen says "The My Account application will be downloaded shortly". The only button I can hit then is an exit button. I leave the phone active for minutes and have wifi on, as well as data connection. Nothing else happens. It seems like this is odd behavior and wondering if anyone would mind making a .cab.
Thanks for any responses!
EDIT!! I used Doc's MMs fix-which I believe tells Tmobile that my phone is not a HD2 (used for tiny mms messages problem) and I then tried the original My account and tmobile help applications and both work perfectly. How about that?

Anyone willing/able to try this?
I've had the upgrade for almost a week now and I still cannot access the problem. It says it will be downloaded shortly, and never is. I called 611 and customer service has no clue. As a side question, I believe I installed the upgrade fine, but perhaps I somehow messed it up? I made a connection to activesync, removed sd card, did update, but once it was all done and was rebooting, i disconnected the usb cord to the computer. Could this have possibly screwed up the My account application? Everything else works fine.

There's been other reports of the same issue, people on the new ROM having trouble getting the myaccount app to do it's update so you can use it. I haven't seen any solutions yet, but it's in a thread in this section somewhere.
I don't believe you screwed up your new ROM at all...if it's fuctioning in every other way than this, there's no other issue than the unexplained one that you and others are experiencing.

Thanks, I've figured as much. I've also seen a handful of people having the same problem (on other forums as well) but often this resolves itself on its own. Keeping my fingers crossed-it's more annoying than anything else.

Im good!
Myaccount works fine on mine, and it never downloaded anything. I just open the app and it works just fine, maybe the app is whats wrong not the whole update. i dont know how to make a .cab or i would do it for ya. any suggestions on how to do it?

In here. Worked fine for me after instaling the CAB (look down the list a bit).

You used the one from 2.10 on the new 2.13 ROM? I just wasn't sure there wouldn't be any issues there

Went to the store today and changed out Sim cards just to try it. Same problem. The rep at the store said that a lot of people were having trouble with the application-even people with blackberries who just got the application for their platform. Who knows? I may try the cab just to give it a whirl. If I try it and subsequently uninstall it, I imagine it'll revert to my .13 application which is hard cooked into the rom right?
*update*
I tried the .10 cab and it worked fine. The icon was slightly different, but otherwise worked fine. Tmobile help (purple question mark icon) still wouldn't work, but the my account does. Thanks

I never tried to use that app before, so I went ahead and gave it a try. I got an error right away. I just did a soft reset and then it worked. YMMV.

Still require TMOUS 2.13.531.1 "My Account" CAB
I've just installed the T-mobile "My Account" Application from the previous thread (Leo_MyAccount.cab - MyAccount 2_9_2_5_87341_0 according to the CAB xml) on FroyoStone sense V2, and I get the guy holding the phone and the message "The My Account application will be downloaded shortly" message for both Help and My Account apps. It worked fine on the stock TMOUS ROM 2.13.531.1.
I assume this CAB is a backrevved version? What is the fix for this, or does someone have the real CAB from the 2.13.531.1 ROM?

i have the same issue. maybe the markt is down or overloaded?

Same problem with me for the last few hours.
Must be the large increase in 'WP7 phones' since the DFT release..... we've overloaded the market

You guys activated your live ids to use market? I've been getting apps from the market without the live activation thingy by using this other small piece of software =-/

Yes a temporary workaround is using Tom's XAP Installer, which if you unlocked your phone, you can push apps into your device. This still does not adress the market issue though.
Furthermore, I just noticed that in the Zune application on my pc, there was an error returned when I tried to log in with my Zune account. More server issues?

What's the trick with this "WP7 3MktPlace v0.4"? You just search the app and download it in .xap for free?

Market place was working fine for me for the past couple of days but today I can't download anything on the phone. When I try to use the market place on Zune on the pc it gives me an erro message when trying to sign in "Can't access server ..."

here also in the UAE, i am facing the same problem with TMOUS HD2 WP7 and also with samsung focus, so i think it is MS market problem, it was working perfectly 4 hours ago .. let us see

anyone has an original wp7 phone (not hd2) facing the same issue?
i have downloaded yesterday many apps...today...no way

yea, i said that i tried samsung focus and faced the same issue !

Market place can't handle the overnight doubling in numbers of active new phones!

Web Based Market issues

Hey Im having problems with the new web based market in that it my device isnt listed in the My Market Account settings. Older Evo's that Ive returned due to hardware issues are listed though. I can "install" apps if I choose any of the old Evos from the page but nothing appears on my phone and nothing gets installed. Ive followed the 2 DYI fix its on Googles help page but neither works. Has anyone else had problems with the web based market? If so what? And have you found an answer?
Im running Cyanogenmod 6.1.2 on hardware 003 and gapps 20101114.

I can't even get it to log in.

weird... mines working fine.

mine has all the apps i've downloaded since i first got my phone, and shows a different device for every rom i've been on . i also cant update anything in there. i was hoping for more. there will probably be updates to it though.

I just was on there and it could see all my devices and I even download an app.

Yeah it shows just a tad bit too much info. App Brain's sync is way better still

I can log in fine. I'm in the same boat as in followed the fixes, and the apps arn't downloading to my phone. I'm on cm7.

HTC Hub acting strange

Yesterday I try updating the battery widget from HTC Hub. It uninstalled the older version but would not install the newer one. I kept retrying and it only downloads but doesn't install. I tried to install any of the other HTC Hub widgets but I keep encountering the same problem with all of them. Does anyone else also have the same issue? Can you try downloading a widget from HTC Hub and confirm. Any solutions? I really want my battery and tasks widgets.
PS. I'm unbranded and still on 1.32 so its not the new OTA update.

I have the same issue and I think it may be something to do with my current problem of having to force quit almost everything the first time I run it..
Will let you know if I find more..

Instead of starting a new thread why not post in one that's already created? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007718
Besides the problem is probably at HTC's end .

Sorry, I didn't notice the other thread. Hanging head down in shame. :'(

same problem.
i wrote htc some days ago and they said its because of htcsense.com and hub features are so new..they'll need some time to fix the problems.
i could download "fake call" from htc likes..but not from htc hub.
same problem with all updates though.

Turns out all the widgets on HTC Hub are on HTC Likes, just use the search function to find them. They install just fine from HTC Likes.
