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
Just tried registering at the SA HTC site - it works - was able to download the ROM...

did u successfully updated ur device???

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..

[Q] possible to read activation code from device

hi,
is it possible to read a windows live activation code from the device?
thanks

hi am sorry but no there is currently not any way to read the activation code from the device itself...
But u can still get a new code if u want!
(I got my code by email, because the code i got wen i called them just wasn't working.)

Is the Activation Code stored on the HD2?
I read on one of the pages of one of the threads in one of the Forums (phew), that the MS Activation Code was stored and almost readable if you had the right apps and RegEdit(?).
After settling down with WP7 I decided I was happy to wait for Mango updates before Re-Flashing, so I discarded the Post-It with my code, but XBMod now has a ROM out and I want it. So I'm gonna need that code.
Does anyone have any more on this?
Edited: 03/06/2011
Just phoned MS UK on 0844 800 2400.
Told them I'd reset my phone and asked them to read my activation code back out to me, which they did. Happy days, just sent it to myself in an e-mail so no more waiting for another XBMod ROM. Ta.

well, you can use the code on your WP7 using this registry :
Live ID Activation Code
(Usefull on HD2 to bypass boring serial number step, need a valid serial!)
Code:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\GwpCPC]
"ActivationCode"="*****-*****-*****-*****-*****"
Then maybe after using the code it would be there ?

In what way isn't it working? If it's asking you for an activation code there are plenty of threads regarding this issue - search and you will find...
If it's some other issue, more information is required in order to help you...

if you have problem with marketplace, you can use alternate wAppStore
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245206
no need for Live activation code
PC and XAP version available
also you can access to any device Marketplace (Samsung, LG, ATT, Tmobile USA & DE, Nokia...)
only free apps available (we not support piracy )

need help with choosing and installing WP7 ROM

So im using android at the moment and i want to move to wp7 cuz its really smooth and i like wp (plus i heard that there is a skype and whatsup finally )
ok so here's the deal,i need to choose a ROM,so i tought about this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443709
but i dont really know,if you can give me adviced or links to good roms it will be awesome.the rom is for daily use so i need pretty regular one ;p(but i need acces to download things from the marketplace and i heard something about activation codes..wat ?)
secondly i need to know what i need for wp7.. so here's a list of what i have:
1.MAGLDR113
2.4gb sd card
3.ClockworkMod Recovery (250)
4.SPL-2.08.HSPL
5.i think i have radio 2.15.50.14 but im not sure cuz it not showing it ;o
i have all i need?
thank you!

Hi
The one big downside ( well at least some people think so) of WP7.5 is that you cant sync contacts , calender directly with your PC ! So this is something you need to think about before moving to WP7 . Syncing has to be done via "the cloud" so you'll need to set up a windows live/hotmail or a google gmail account.
As for which rom.....we could argue endlessly which is best. Different people have different requirements.
I have been using Pdaimatejam roms ( I'm now on ver 7.8) for a good few weeks now and its working well for me. I suggest you read the threads on a few roms and you'll see what the XDA users think of them.
Activation code. If you want to use marketplace ( apps etc) you'll need an activation code from MS. There are some "other" market place style options but to take full advantage of MS WP7 you'll need to activate it. There's a couple of methods for doing this ( read the threads) I contacted my local MS support and got one within an hour or so via email.
Oh and in general it is a good idea to flash an original WM6.5 first to get your phone back to stock and confirmed working. A "clean" formatted SD card wont do any harm either.
good luck

also try look this tutorial
https://rapidshare.com/files/2232080081/ROM_install_Tutorial_v1.6.pdf
or http://www.wupload.com/file/2677286812
if you need any radio look in my signature

Using Pdaimatejam 7.9, and is working good. The really drawback is the acess to the SD by the PC

umm ok i think ill also go on Pdaimatejam cuz lots of people sayin that it is good and it have a tut
now about the marketplace and live thing,i didnt understand how to activate it and how to get it to work..can someone explane?

get code calling or chat with Microsoft
here is chat explain

Like any Microsoft product you need an activation code to use it properly.
You can install WP7 ( any of the ROMs) without it and the phone will work you just wont be able to access the official Market place to get apps
It also wont sync ( contacts / calenders )with windows live / hotmail.
WP7 isn't officially supported on the HD2 so when you call or chat with MS helpdesk you should tell them its a HD7 ( which is supported)
Tell them you have just bought the HD7 second hand off ebay or something like that.
I called them and they emailed me the code 1 hour later. Never tried the live chat option but it seems to work for some people.
Once you have a code from them you can use it every time you install / try a ROM
Good luck

7720 to Tango
I have followed Jayce0oi instructions to install Mango 7004 then 7720 to HD2.
Is there a similar step by step to go from here to Tango 8773(?) as the download is in a different format, .rar as opposed to .cab, or does ...CAB-sender work with .rars also?
Jayce says ask XDA.
Apologies for ignorance!

Hey, I have this ROM and highly recommend it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833 also just follow the tutorial that you can download with the other files.

[Q] Noob guide

Hey guys,
Whats the best guide to install Windows 7 on our beloved HD2. Currently I am on NAND android and some guides are not so good as others.
SO i ask the HD2 windows 7 community. Whats the best guide?
And what is the latest version of Windows 7. What are the versions?
And does windows 7 roms have EVRYTHING working? like on android?

look my tutorial from signature...
all working but can be problem with SDcards (freezes, restarts, long installations)... if SDcard working OK, no problems
last version is Tango (8779.8)
also you need Live activation code from Microsoft to get Marketplace and Live services working (look in Tutorial also)

this is the rom I installed. And whenever try to install any app from the marketplace, i get the error 8000FFF. I got the activation code from windows support. The live chatting. And i was able to set up the Live account.
So whats the solution?

which region you use? many regions not supported or have limited numbers of apps....
try use GB or USA marketplace but dont forget, when you select region, this region lock to your Live account...
