[Q] italian firmware sbf - Milestone 2 General

does anyone have any news about the italian firmware for milestone 2.
is there a way to get a dump of the latest version of the italian fw.
the phone was announced last week and should be in stores very soon.

Since the only .sbf available were obtained on a motorola server, which is now closed, it's very unlikely that an italian firmware goes out.
At best, somebody will be kind enough to make a nandroid backup and share it.
Since uk and italy use the same keyboard layout, and same baseband frequencies, why don't you use the uk .sbf? (which surely has italian support)

it's because there are several bugs in the uk release and I know for sure that most of them were corrected with the italian version.
for example in the recent calls contact pictures are messed up (you see the wrong picture with the calls list); that was solved in the italian retail firmware.
thank you anyway for your kind answer.

Where can I find official HTC ROM updates?

Goodmorning,
Does someone know where I can download official HTC released ROM files? HTC doesn't publish their ROM images on a own FTP server, but referes to the operator sites. I bought my P3300 in the Netherlands (www.misco.nl), but my device isn't (apparently) imported trough the official Dutch importer (www.smartmobility.nl). Smart
Mobility doens't have my IMEI number in their database, with the result that I can't access the ROM-updates. Does someone know the official UK HTC importer, where I can try to check for ROM-updates? I suppose they will recognise my IMEI-number...
I can't understand why HTC distributes their ROM update so laborious. It would be much easier I they would publish it on www.htc.com. Is is easy, one central point for all customers and users are always 100% sure that they have the latest version of the ROM. Now we are depenable of the "operators" and they use IMEI-verification, maybe they are late with putting ROM updates online, etc, etc.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Roger
Well for now you shouldn't worry - there aren't any 'official' upgrades at the moment (I just checked the Smart Mobility site). When/if they are released, I'm sure you'll be able to get them through different channels.

[Q] Regarding OTA update

Hi guys,
My software version on phone is:
1.31.405.5
My locale is English(Norway).
Why don't i get OTA update 2.13.xxxx or any update begin with 2?
When i go to HTC official support site i see that only when i choose India as country i can see this update.Strange.How to know the region on my phone?Is it based on locale?For example if i choose English(norway)than my region is Europe.That's a bit confusing for me.Can someone explain
Thanks in advance
I am in the same situation (locale English (Czech Republic)). Have no idea why am I still on 1.31.405.5. I hope the Froyo will be avaiable to all regions at the same time (at least in europe).
it wont be that way, there will be differences of a week at least, thats how they do it , i believe they don't won't to stress the downlad servers
There were definitely some issues with the 2.xx upgrade (I lost Wifi capabilities until I forced a revert back to 1.31 firmware and reupdate) so it wouldn't surprise me that the update got pulled.
Can be.So we have to wait for Froyo
Thanks

[Q] Change Region Firmware?

Hi all,
Bought my Wildfire, paid more money to get the black one. Turns out it has Asia ROM (Singapore, SEA). Also turns out Asia are the least likely to get firmware updates on time (ironic for a Taiwan based company).
Don't want to root. But want to run UK / Europe firmware.
Have looked at the FOTA updates, they all seem to be a collection of patch files and the SEA ROM has a different firmware version to the UK firmware.
Have seen a few RUU files posted around. Would this be what I would need to flash the UK version?
Few questions I would be grateful if someone could answer:
1. Is this region change via RUU even possible or will I just brick my phone.
2. Would this mess up future updates (how do HTC determine whether there are applicable updates? IMEI?)
3. Is there a better way?
4. Where do the (seemingly leaked) RUU files come from? Any way to guarantee authenticity?
Thanks for your time,
Matthew

1. Yes with help of a "Gold Card"
2. not sure , never got an OTA Upgrade before , i run a custom rom
3. Gold Card and RUU for version you want , would recommend rooting it anyways so you have access to recovery / nandroid backup
4. shipped-roms.net look for htc buzz
PS
Be aware that if you run the RUU for Froyo 2.2.1 you will not be able to root your phone afterwards.
Any Probs let me know and will help if i can

quad band us rom?
I have a milestone xt720 and after flashing the UK rom I can no longer connect to at&t 3g. All of the firmware links i can find support bands other then 850. I can make call presumably on the 1900 band and get an edge connection but no 3g. If anyone has the firmware that i need please post or advise. I feel like this hardware is wasted with a crappy edge connection. Thanks.
thanks me cellphone greek ,me from argentina , firmware use ?

1) Yes
2) Yes (as long as you stay stock and relock the bootloader)
3) Yes
If i'm wrong about any of the above please correct
You don't need to relock the boot loader.
I remember reading it is recommended not to re lock..

I did exactly what you've described - bought a UK wifi MZ604, flashed it to US 'GED' with US stock (HWI69) software. I then received the Honeycomb OTA updates up to HTK75D (3.2.1). I've now patched to ICS 4.0.3 using the Moto soak build test file (USB host / USB method).
You don't need to relock the boot loader. And the build contains UK English keyboard but only US English language. There are only 3 language options - US English, Spanish & French. That is what I saw in both HTK75D and IML77.

Is the market in dollars or pounds?
Pounds
I also have MZ604 from UK, I have flashed HWI69 before - bootloader was unlocked and relocked after I have finished with updating.
Then all OTA update came automatically. Since then I have been using Team EOS ICS ROM - which I had to unlock the bootloader again.
Now I'm on ICS IML77 - I used the stock ROM from stachre which I have flashed with CWM. No problem at the moment.
Thanks for the input guys, i flashed the US rom and found, as said above, that English UK language is not present, the English UK keyboard is though, so i went back to stock, i think i'll wait a while to see if if the UK gets an official ICS update.

is there any difference to english US 'language' and using the english UK keyboard layout?
i haven't noticed any problems yet... back in the old days of 3.1/3.2 there were some issues with the external BT keyboard but then we didnt have english UK as a keyboard option then...
I'm more than happy using the UK xoom with US image, so curious to see what the difference is
I suppose spelling colour as color etc, no biggie!

on the US GED version?
I know there was some fixes to push in custom keyboard layout, I think 3.2 had the UK language first but I didnt think 3.1 did...?
Wouldn't using UK keyboard take care of that. I am in India where we follow UK English as well. Just flashed US ROM on my MZ604, installed SwiftKey Tablet keyboard and selected the correct language nd colour is now colour and realize is realize.

I thought you were referring to US GED 3.2.
To be fair, when I stuck the US GED rom on my UK wifi Xoom, it upgraded itself all the way through to 3.2 before I got a chance to play with it, so I don't know what 3.1 had. 3.2 definitely had the UK keyboard though.
