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"

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?

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..

Hello. I've bought HTC Magic recently. It is version 32a, as it has 288 MB of RAM.
Currently the build version is 2.16.*
So I wanted to download and upgrade to latest rom version 2.20.401.2 from HTC.
After putting my S/N HT97******** it shows me Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device..
Is here anyone who could help me please?
If you **** around too much on the htc home pages you do not get to download any update. I do not know why it is so but so it was with me,
So turn off your browser to try again. or get a new IP address
Or **** in the slow updates and root your phone it takes five minutes. Then your phone will be double as fast .???????????
OK, I've tried changing the browser, deleting browser's cache, reconnecting to the other wifi (so other IP), but all without success.. Thanks anyway Any other suggestions please?
Try to morrow.
Kk, but I don't think it's the reason because it didn't work already when I visited HTC website for the very first time and as I wrote, I tried it with different IPs, browsers etc.. but anyway, I'll give it a try
Is the update for your phone, ie the country its from? Otherwize sn will be wrong

Nope, its wasnt a major upgrade like sense or anything so I didnt bother. Got sick of waiting for htc to give the sense update so rooted and running MYHERO now, should have done it long ago

Hi!
I have htc hero with 1.5 firmware, 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 Baseband version, 2.6.27 kernel, 2.73.405.5 and 1.0.0.A6288 sotware version. My phone is locket by Hungary-Vodafone.
I bought unlock code 3 different website, but unlock code always be the same. Please help me, how to unlock my phone.
It may be that your firmware is like the Orange UK firmware, which would not allow unlocking (it seems to work, but your phone remains sim-locked).
You should probably try installing another ROM on your phone (e.g. MoDaCo) to see if that accepts your unlock code as this worked for Orange UK Heroes.
Look in the development forum for details of how to do this - you may need to use a goldcard.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks for the fast answer, i will test it.

Hi Dave!
I try 10 different roms (generic, modaco, t-mobile uk, ect) but my unlock code not work with the different roms. Please help.
In that case, it sounds like your unlock code must be incorrect, because this process has worked for other Orange Hero owners.

Dave

I bought 3 different sites
htccode.com
hero.unlock-now.com/
mobileunlocked.com/HTC/Hero
all codes are same!
It was definitely the case with Orange UK Heros that you could enter an unlock code, and it would appear to accept it, but the phone wouldn't not connect to the new network. It was then found that if you flashed your phone with a different ROM and tried the code again, the phone would unlock correctly. Once this was done you could even load the original ROM again without issue.
Just to check, you did follow the process below:
1. Flash a different ROM (e.g. MoDaCo)
2. Boot the phone with the non-Orange SIM - it should ask you to enter the unlock code.
3. Enter the code
4. Reboot
If flashing a new ROM hasn't worked for you, I guess you've got a new problem!
Sorry - I don't think I can help you further.
Regards,
Dave
Hello,
Úgy tudom, hogy a Vodafone Corporate-ra zárja a Hero-t, ezért amit küldenek SIM unlock kódot avval nem működik.
In English?
See forum rules, point 4!
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.

Translation :
"As far as I know, Vodafone Co. is locking the Hero, so that's why the received SIM unlock code doesn't work"
Hope this help

Hello everyone!
i have one t-mobile branded firmware htc hd2 which i bought it from and uk based ebay seller..its unlock..and i can recieve and make calls..
but im not able to use internet on the phone bcos it has settings for t-mobile network..
and i also tried to upgrade it through htc website but whenever im trying it says these updates are not for this serial number...
kindly help me in debranding my phone so that i can use this in australia with full functions..thanks a lot in advance..
trust me that would be a great help from you.
If this is a UK T-Mob HD, then its a contract phone and seems strange that it is up for sale so soon. Unless it has been stolen - I don't think we should help with stolen phones, unless you're willing to gvie me the IMEI number so I can check here with T-Mob.

Im not exactly sure if you want help making your internet work with your sim, or if you want help taking the tmobile rom off and putting a stock or custom one on..
If you just want help with internet settings then download the attached file and install on your phone. Then run the connection setup program in the start menu, connections screen and it should set up your internet and mms settings for the network you select (if its available).
If you want to put a custom rom on your device then follow my flashing a leo rom for noobs link in my signature to install HardSPL and then you can flash any of the roms in the rom development section to take off the tmobile branding and give you whatever you want.

What network are you trying to use it with?
I'm not too sure if you can change the connection settings easy on the T-Mobile ROM, I'd recommend flashing with the HTC unbranded ROM and then you can just select your service provider and it all works sweet.

I work for T-mobile and the only way you can change these settings is indeed to change to HTC unbranded ROM or any other ROM of your choice.

You must have flashed one of the TMobile Test Roms during your travels, which has that splash screen on it. Custom Roms dont include a splash screen so it wont be overwritten when flashing other roms afterwards.
Download the attachment and unzip to a folder on your pc. Sync using your usb cable and run the included customruu.exe file to flash back the original htc splash screen.
