I wonder when the rest will follow.
Version number is the same as the leaked one. The page doesn't accept the serial number I entered (perhaps because mine was a UK phone?). Can someone report whether there is any difference between this ROM and the leaked one?
Well I think this update is for Nordic only. It's at the danish site too

yeah but it only shows the general build number. the are more detailed numbers when you actually check out the build on the hero.
so somebody has to update the official rom and post the detailed build infos here.
It seems impossible to download the new image using firefox on linux. Is HTC so bent on MS products that they won't support downloads with a non-MS browser, or is the support-page just broken?
U need Windows to do it

There is something strange going on on HTC Support site. Pages are not showing download links. Will probably be fixed soon.

Hope not. I ditched windows 15 years ago and don't intend to install it anywhere just to be able to maintain a linux-device
Jokes aside, I believe it will be possible to extract an update.zip that can be installed the same way as MoDaCo's custom rom, although that method will remain unsupported by HTC.
will this update work with a non branded hero? being that the update is posted on the norway webpage
just installer the nordic, sweden update. awesome. Major difference in the entire feel of the OS.
Did it perform a system reset? Need to know whether I need to save my files or not.
yes it did, wiped everything on the phonememory. I used mybackup to back it all up.
What backup software did you use?
I have a SIM unlocked HTC Hero and i'm in the UK. Should I wait for the official UK ROM or just install the nordic one? Has anyone got any experience in installing the Nordic ROM to a non-nordic hero?
axe look the topic above you
Mybackup is great to back up everything (except scenes).

Just a quick question about the new Rom Update.
I'm currently waiting for T-Mobile to release there version of the Rom update from version 1.43 to 1.66.
I can get a copy of the 1.66 official Rom Update from the HTC website (my mate has a HTC HD2 which is unbranded).
Could i update my Rom using the download? Would it cause any problems to the phone?
Many thanks.
any noticed anything different?
I have an Uk version on O2 but its not taking my serial... any ideas?
surely I don't have to wait the O2 customised rom?
Does this at all stop the sluggishness and freezing from time to time
O2 and VF both run locked ROMs - the S/Ns need to be cleared by O2/VF/HTC to allow download...
any workarounds? ;-D

After I update the rom to the latest 1.66, do i need to install the previous updates on the htc website such as the sim contacts and camera fix.
Thanks

For future reference, it tells you the max ROM version that you need the hotfixes for, on the page where you download them.
In this instance, there haven't been any that have had a ROM version higher than 1.66, so no - you don't need them

I haven't found anything noticeable except a lower screen sensitivity and some value added applications.
Before I update my ROM, I read this
"The update will take up to 30 minutes, DO NOT interrupt the update process, make/receive phone calls, disconnect the device from the PC, or press any buttons until the process has been completed."
And wondered how I can stop any incoming calls, messages, mails etc. Should I just put it into airplane mode or something?
After installing the new 1.66 ROM, is it necesarry to install the peviously released hotfixe's, or are these already implemented in the newest ROM?
Already integrated.
Depending on your language, however, the latest SMS fix (of 24/01) has to be applied, too. If you are using a cooked rom with 1.66 base you'll also have to install the latest SMS hotfix.
Doesn't say it's for the UK WWE 1.66 ROM and it's not on the UK support page so not gonna bother unless it appears...I delete every SMS after reading anyway so never been an issue...
EDIT: OK, I lie it is there, didn't see it beneath the ROM update itself. Might give it a go, can't hurt can it?

If you are using the version they have in their support section, you as UK client don't need to apply it .
It is in the support page BUT if you click on the download button it goes back to the Support front end so guessing it's not needed as I've got the new ROM...

It normally states in the update which ROM it applies to. Which means that all of them (excluding the Valendar View) don't need to be applied to 1.66.
The only one which doesn't is the Calendar View update which says
"Note: This update is only applicable to all ROM Version" now I don't beleive this as they would surely apply it to a ROM.
Maybe someone else can help whith this one.

Yes, because the UK version has been released AFTER the SMS update, you are already good to go and fully updated. However, in other countries the ROM update came earlier and the new SMS fix is probably not in those yet.
Thanks for the help.
I'm on the Norwegian ROM, so i guess I'm ok then. (Sms update has been removed from HTC site after the ROM update came out.)

I second that. Send a mail to HTC yesterday to make sure the WWE rom update I was about to download already contained previous updates and they replied that it wasn't necessary to install them again. (It was in Dutch so that's why I'm not attaching the mail).
what version after hard-reset?
i have a question. I had update the ROM with the 1.66 version. If i now execute a hard-reset what version should i be with? 1.43 (original) or 1.66?

1.66 (if flashed officially).
and via HSPL?
HSPL = Hard (flashed) SPL so it will be 1.66 still..
Thanks!
Greetings to you all...
I apologise ahead of time, my noobness is about to show through...
I will be getting my HD2 on the 3rd from Phones4U with a Vodafone contract and will be wanting to do the ROM update to 1.66. I am wondering about the following things:
1. Has this gone wrong for anyone and should it go wrong what is the fix?
2. Having never done this before and not wanting to get it wrong - does the downloaded update have all the tools I need to do the update? Or is there a specific piece of software I need from HTC?
3. Tried to follow this thread regarding the new SMS update and am not sure regarding the outcome - if I am on ROM 1.66 do I need to do the SMS update as well?
Thanks in advance for all willing to answer what are probably basic question - this is my first real smartphone and I am keen beyond belief but also do not want to mess it up...
P.S. Is there a manual in the box? (ROLL ON WEDNESDAY!)
Scott (In anticipation)
Double post - sorry!
Hi,
I got my HD2 from Dial-A-Phone (Phones4U) and it was an unlocked version so all updates from HTC are available. It'll likely come with the 1.48 ROM on it so first thing to check is whether this is correct. Go into Settings>About phone>Software version and it'll be in there.
Assuming yu are on 1.48 then go to the HTC UK support site and download the ROM update from the 25/01/2010. The other updates are rolled into this so you don't need them.
HTC UK Support - HD2
Now, charge up your phone and connect to your PC. If using Vista/Windows 7 it should recognise it being a Windows Phone and connect up using the Windows Mobile Device Center. Once done, make sure it says connected and then run the ROM file (which is an .exe file) and follow the instructions.
If, however, the phone is already on 1.66 then nothing more is needed!!
Excellent - really appreciate your feedback - I am, for once, wishing my weekend away so that Wednesday will get here quicker...

Um.. sorry if this is a dumb question, but my Hero's version is 2.73.405.5 and that's the latest ROM Version according to htc.com/europe/
so.. is that version getting the update or is it just the 2.73.751.13 the Taiwanese version and 2.73.405.5 the European one and both are practically the same?
Hooraaay for 2.1 (party)
Update consists of series of binary patches, so probably it won't apply to anything but 2.73.751.13

It upgrades to (Android 2.1 3.31.751.1) from 2.73.751.13 OTA.
It's doubtful you'll be able to use the image as is from another ROM. But rooted users should be able to use a repacked version with no problem. It comes with a new radio, so care would have be taken to make sure there is no funkiness with current engineering SPLs.
now just need patient to wait for cooked rom
hi. im newbie and haven't root my hero. my hero is firmware singapore version.2.73.707.9 can i upgrade my

sorry for.noob question...
sorry to say that you must have a taiwan version phone to update
First update to 2.73 will probably include some patches for the OTA client.
Not wanting to put a downer in this but haven't htc always told us we'll see a small ota update before the offical update to 2.1.
This sounds like it's taking them direct to 2.1
Well in Europe it looks like we have currently to wait, but there are another News about the OTA-UPdate on the European Site for Legend and Bravo :

If it was branded! Unless I am mistaking?
If it's rooted, flashing an OTA would remove the root and then becomes more complicated to get it back (needs to downgrade back that 1.31 again)
So you may just want to flash it yourself with recovery/ClockWorkMod

Kwen, thanks for the information.
I've contacted with HTC support and this is what they say:
Kindly be informed that the latest update released for your handset is the 1.31.X version, for the time being, there're no further upgrades for your handset, please note that the HTC Legend is one of the devices that received the Android 2.2 upgrade, however, for the time being, there's no information regarding its date of release.
Please note that the update will initially roll out to unlocked HTC Desire handsets. Operator specific versions of the update are undergoing testing and we expect to make them available in several weeks’ time.”

For some reason there is no direct upgrade path from 1.31.405.5 to 2.03.405.3. The 2.03 RUU is here.
But at this point I have no idea which WWE versions they're going to release OTA updates for - because I'm assuming many people do not RUU their phones and are therefore still on 1.31 like you. Also some others are on the 2.05.405.2 ROM that was faulty and therefore that OTA update was pulled!
Thx dude !
hi guys,
I've done some research on this forum and found out (if I'm not mistaken) that HTC must have pulled the OTA update to 2.03 off their site because of the SMS bug. So basically there's no official (direct) way of updating from 1.31 to 2.03/2.05, if you want, you can still download the shipped one from shipped rom and flash it manually!
I'm considering waiting for froyo or updating my (rooted) 1.31 to (rooted) 2.03 though.

Why would you update to 2.03 instead of Froyo if your phone is already rooted? Check the Development section. There are several rooted Froyo ROMs out and you can still revert if you don't like it.
Wondering about 1.31.405.5 Froyo
Hello everyone,
I love this script on zubu.ca/legend/fota_check.php and I've lost the count on how many times I pressed F5 while on it, but still no luck for me.
I've got an HTC Legend (unbranded with carrier Vodafon). It's got build 1.31.405.5 (CL154058 RK) and according to the FOTA-checker there's no update available.
My question is basically: Why is there no update, and do I need another update before I get the Froyo update? I know HTC stated that every Legend will have Froyo by the 5th of december and it's not the 5th yet. But still, many Legends have it already and like I said I'm bad at waiting XD
Thanks in advance.
