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).

HTC is NOT planing to upgrade TD2 in India - As per a CALL with HTC...
I was abvle to download from Europe site. (http://www.htc.com/europe/)
You can also try or get any WWW rom and install. That should work.
PS: The India site is maintain by HTC Twain group
Thanks.
South Africa is also not going to be getting an upgrade by the looks of things... i find that ridiculous. why not just let us install the UK versions...it's the same language after all...
sigh.
Why this stepmotherly treatment to some countries?
Btw, has anyone downloaded the UK version? Does it work?

HT97TL102778 appears to be working.
Has anyone installed a UK / Europe ROM on an Asiapac device? Does it work?
Called up HTC customer care number 1800113377
asked them about "when we will get the update?". Lady on the phone clearly said "we ARE going toget the update". we just have to wait little bit more.
the update is ready with them and it is the HTC HQ's call when to release the update.
bottom line is "wait and watch http://www.htc.com/in/support.aspx"
Regards,
Geo

hi again guys. South African ROM released end of last week. www.leaf.co.za
i've heard from a few of my Indian friends (living in S.A) that they were able to access and download the official ROM with their phones that came from India (after registering).
maybe that works for you guys?
Hi

Update Failed
I guess my happiness was short lived - after a couple of steps the updater failed saying invalid vendor ID - nearly gave me an heart attack - the phone was showing some multicolored screen... - At least it did boot back to WM 6.1 later...
Please post if anyone else has success in updating the phone...

DAMN! i'm sorry to hear about your scare...i kinda feel responsible, having suggested the idea!
may I ask why you are avoiding installing a cooked or even OFFICIAL (as in UK version) ROM? are you worried about guarantee? or the risk of damaging your phone? Because if so, then i am gladly willing to walk any1 through the steps you need to take to get it running.
Guide me pls..
drag-on.. i'll b happy if u could guide me thro the steps , i was kinda scared to install a cooked rom on my HTC diamond2 till now coz while trying to do the same with my HTC touch i bricked my mobile a year back..
and i couldnt find a proper step by guide for doin this.. in every thread regarding the same somebody or the other is getting into problems..
so pls illustrate a proper step by step guide on the procedures of installin a ROM on a factory HTC touch diamond2..
I'll be glad to. what i would then rather do is send you a private message with the steps, so that we don't clutter the forums and have snide comments from senior members about how "easy" it all is. (they ARE right, but i know the first time is scary)
i'm going partying now, but i'll be glad to send you (and any1 else who asks for a private message) step by step instructions tomorrow.
what you can do in the mean time, is have a look at which ROM you think you might want (i'll add my suggestions anyways) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=486
thanks dude..
thanks for the help dude.. i'll go thro that documents now..
lookin forward to ur message..

hey everybody. i have flashes 1.48 WWE rom to my O2 UK device and i am happy with it, but as title sais i'm a bit confused where is origin of these ROM's. htc.com and htc.com/europe haven't got it on the website and this is a place to go for oficial stuff. there's no any soft/ROM updates availible on oficial website, so it makes me think somebody inside stole it and spread on web. any ideas. apologise if stated somethhing wrong.

I guess that it comes from O2 (Or HTC, O2 dosnt make the ROM by there selfs ofc). There might be some leaks from HTC also..
If the ROMs aren't on htc's website, they're leaked.

I would also add that, if they're not on the official web site within a week or so after they were "leaked", this means HTC have read a lot of bad stuff about those ROMs here, on xda, and are preparing an update
Those official ROMs are unofficially leaked for free beta testing by this excellent community

I bought my Leo with 1.48.
All the latest devices have 1.48 in them.
So it is not "leaked" but official in all latest Leo devices

An official ROM that very often fails to install on unbranded hardware for many people and has to be hacked to install and even then is not guranteed to work! If thats a fully released official update God help us all!

Very often fails to install on unbranded hardware? If you're trying to update to another localisation, maybe... If the Sip is the same, installation should be flawless.
The Danish version of the 1.48 version is available through HTC's official Danish support site. Other language versions are not. The reasons for that are unknown to me, but I guess the Danish shipped version may have had one or more bugs that the other versions may not have?

don't ask stupid questions, you wont get stupid answers ;p
Many people are doing it with the same localisation on unbranded devices and it fails. There have been a number of reports of 2 identical scenarios where it works for one person but not another. Some also, myself included, cannot get the phone to update even with the Gold Card method! The updates are claimed to be official and yet they don't work consistently!? I cannot vouch for all of them all being authentic but the Danish one would certainly seem to be, as that is on the official HTC web site for Denmark. Thus common sense would suggest if one is they all are, which begs the question why are so many people having the same problems? That is the real question and no one seems to have a real answer. Workarounds are all well and good and to be respected, if they work of course, but ultimately we need to address the fundamental issue of why so many people are experiencing the same issue when they are doing things correctly. At no stage has that question been answered. In fact it is barely even asked which I find alarming.

th3 updates are official.. you're problem is that you're trying to do something that HTC don't want you to..
Gold card isn't official, that is *YOUR* problem here, not the roms!
Excuse me!
HTC don't want you to update your device with an officlal ROM update!!?? I am only trying to go from 1.43.405.1 to 1.48.405.2. Thats from WWE English to WWE English on an unbranded device. Please explain in accurate and precise detail what is invalid about that! Additionally why does it work for some and not others with the exact same scenario? Why should I even need to use the Goldcard method in the first place is my question and as stated before that has not been answered!

so our dreams have been shattered as the rumour mill went wild regarding a fix for 2.1 by the end of the week. However there is a new PC Suite available to fix the sync issue a lot of 2.1 user's were experiencing.
Posted by DELL-Amy B replied on 09-08-2010 8:19 PM
Hi Folks,
Sorry if you were misinformed. Please PM (private message me) the phone # and name of reps who gave you this information.
Regarding a new update, there is not a new Android 2.1 update for O2/UK customers; however, there is a newer version of the Dell PC Suite software here:
Please download, install this and let me know if it corrects the sync issues you may have experienced.
Thanks,
Amy

New Bada 2.0 roms and a Mango release this week.
This is what they said 3 hours ago. Maybe it is i8700xxki1..what do you think about it?
If so, really thanks to Samfirmware
Can you post a link or a screenshot to where you found this info? I'm watching samfirmware posts on twitter and saw nothing about a new windows phone firmware release. Thanks
Its on facebook
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
After the bashing session topic below, it would say much about their character if they do.
Can't wait for no more. Very eager. Hope hidden wifi issue will be solved in the next generation....
It might be official version which will be provided by Samsung... via Zune.

yeah, rumours are that it will be out oh thursday
According to me it is KI1 and it has new radio/firm/boot as kh2 with the "only" difference it has official Mango and no brand. Really hope so. Thanks again SamFirmware
EDIT : i can see no more the post on facebook. Can you? I think they cleaned it
Edit 2: Official answer by SamFirmware "Moderator post to fast something. Communication problem. That why we removed. Sorry." No ROMs coming this week. Thread can be closed.

Communication problem? Maybe some English lessons would help them cause I can't make any sense of what they said there.
so, we will see!
Their English is not one of the best, but please try to understand. English is difficult for everyone who comes from all the countries except for uk/us/australia etc...i understood everything they said so we don't need to insult them.
Anyway the final mango ROM is coming in 2 days via zune. Why not just wait for it?
That is not a rom. First of all a rom contains new firmware/radio and bootloader, the "thing" that should come in 2 days is an "update", Mango 7720.68. Secondly Samsung said one month ago that before Mango update they would have released a firmware update to let us receive Mango. Before that we won't be able to get Mango, so I think we will have to wait for long time yet..
just think a second, all the people that don't know this forum and are not able to flash the phone how do they could update, the official mango release for everyone and every brand of cell phone will come through Zune
brands like samsung...htc...they have the rtm and customize it for their phones then they send it back to ms and will be released through Zune

Radio and bootloader ARE updated through imageupdate, check package MODEM - it contains both radio and bootloader.
One would assume that they would make one big update containing all of this stuff - Omnia 7 can receive Mango update, we already tried it with the XXKH2 ROM's .pks that was with it. Update through beta to RTM and deploy that PKS to install the OEM part of the upgrade. Worked fine.
So you are saying that omnia 7 will have Mango even without drivers update right? I have KC1 now i hope this is enough to get Mango
it's good to see someone from samfirmware here.
I would like to ask one question regarding samfirmware website.
Why is there no direct way to find windows phone roms?
When you go to toolbox section, and firmwares, there you can only choose bada, symbian, windows mobile, but no windows phone.
Where do you guys put all the latest wp7 roms?
Windows Mobile is the same section als Windows phone 7
15.09. and no mango ?
It drives crazy.... Where would our mango be??????
