Hi all,
i have installed this new rom from htc site (and get a lot of unsolved problems with fpsece but this is another question).
But i don't understand a little thing....in this rom are included all the officials hotfix (sms---calendar---camera) or i must re-install them?
There is not a support manual on this rom so i really don't know.
Look at the update on teh HTC website, click 'download' and read the instalation instructions. If for example it says
Note: This update is only applicable to ROM version is equal to 1.60.XXX.X, or lower.
and yours is 1.66, , , have a guess?? No, it isn't needed.
Hotfixes are pre-applied up to the date of the ROM

Thank's you this i need to know
the latest sms patch is not included, but on the other hand, it cannot be installed either...
(there is however a cabfile somewhere to install it)
does it even need to be, I had the sms issues right up until the latest official ROM and that seemed to fix it completely for me.

I just bought hero and i am delighted with it
I heard that new ROM version is much better than the old one (i have 1.76.405.6)
What is new in newer version, and can i just download RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoD river.exe and flash it with that or i must be careful with something?
For the most part, the newer version is just a significant speed bump to the original.
Rather than applying an RUU update, I'd be more inclined to apply a custom recovery image and one of Modacos ROMs.
Regards,
Dave
It also has scandinavian language support
If i want to applay RUU update, that will automaticly install ROM on my hero? (like on Touch HD)
Why would you rather applay a custom recovery image and one of Modacos ROMs, and how to do that? My hero is new and i dont want to do something wrong or bad..
To do what is not written in front of you is living...........

If you don't know why, you probably shouldn't be on these forums!
Seriously though - read some threads and do some research.

The official RUU update will apply the update automatically. If you're not sure about applying a custom ROM then the official one is worth installing. Installing a custom ROM will require a couple of extra steps though.
Asd foxmeister says, read, read read.
Ok, thx for replay and help
haha! I met a guy today at my phone market in the same boat as you I offered to give him my Hero with the newest update and 500RMB to have his and he wouldn't bite. Fortunately my vendor loves me and she is now looking for another hero with the 1.76 ROM for me
There is nothing wrong with the updated phone. In fact it works great. You just need to decide what is best for you.
i feel very let down by this phone, it has alot of potential but is bogged down by stupid bugs what is the best rom to load for improvements to speed bug fix and speeding things up ?
What roms have you tried and what problems have you found?
I'm using Artemis' 2.8 rom, which seems adequate, but I understand a 2.9 is imminent.
I would probably wait a few days for everyone to incorporate the new extra memory hacks before jumping in right now.

Have you updated to the official htc 1.66 rom, it fix alot of bugs for me

This puppy likes the sound of that...following your advice and guidance I succesfully carried out my first flash yesterday to 1.66 although I dont think I'm getting the full benefit of it yet as my spb backup has restored the gluttony of tweaks/mods I did prior to flashing some of which may have been a tad injudicious (if it's free I'm having it lol..) thanx again for the pointers sam...

Yup,had the same problem myself and even went so far as to ask O2 and HTC for their thoughts on this...here's O2's response re:using HTC updates and warranty:
I'm sorry to know that your mobile phone has a fault.
Terry, HTC is one of our partner mobile phone provider. So, updating
your mobile phone software by downloading from HTC will not void your
warranty.
All we want is that your mobile phone should work perfectly.
Whereas HTC said this about not being able to download a ROM:
Dear Sir,
Even if you unlock your PDA from your network, the software installed is still locked to O2 thats the reason why you can not download the ROM in our web site. The ROM in www.htc.com are only suitable for HTC branded devices.
Best Regards,
HTC
to which the elegant solution is to make a FULL backup (use spb backup or something similar) download HSPL,unzip,sync phone and run the exe...(make sure you check you do have SPL 1.42.0000 on your phone before doing this)...thats step 1 link for this is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 where you'll find that explained again but in more detail...
step 2 is to grab the rom of your choice from xdev...no need to go pestering HTC and getting blown out as you're not using an unbranded phone...if you grab an official HTC rom and flash it via sd card you'll remove the HSPL but if you do it via pc HSPL stays in there for flashing future ROM's...(just make sure you remove it if you ever have to send it back on a warranty claim by doing a card flash)
step 3 is to enjoy you're newly flashed ROM (I'm typing this on my laptop which is connected to my phones newly activated wifi router...yahboo sucks to you O2)
I was in the same situation - on O2 and unable to download the official ROM updates from the HTC Support site. I very nearly returned the phone, packing it back nice an neatly in it's box and putting my sim back into my 3GS... but I'm glad I didn't.
I decided to keep it anyway because it was a free upgrade and flash to HSPL - then install an up-to-date official ROM. I flashed from 1.43 to WWE 1.48 and things got better, but weren't perfect. Then the other day when the WWE version of 1.66 hit I flashed to that and am loving it. There's no lag on wake-up, no slowdown in messages or emails etc. It's virtually perfect.
I recommend going HERE to get HSPL (and follow the instructions to the letter) - then HERE to get the WWE version of 1.66 (1.66.405.2) - then as directed by the instructions in the Flashing Your First GSM LEO ROM thread - do a hard reset to make sure nothing was left over from 1.43.
Then you're have a much faster, far less buggy phone, and can always fall back on HSPL if anything ever goes wrong. You won't need to install the hotfix's from the HTC Support site because they're included in the ROM.
If you then install a taskbar mod (like say the awesome Touch X battery % cab) you'll lose the volume icon in the taskbar. The easiest way to fix it is to grab a registry editor and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay
...and delete (press and hold for options) these two entry's...
"LoadIconFromResDLL"=-
"SoundIconLink"=-
...then reboot and it'll be back.
I can also recommend:
Touch X Taskmanager
Touch X Screen Responsiveness Less Sesitive
Touch X Reset and WiFi
Touch X Start Menu Transparent
...and some of the visual modifications available in the Sense 2.5 Tweaks % Mods thread HERE
I'd also check out HDWALL (although again, follow the instructions to the letter) to get rid of the ugly black bars top and bottom, apply your backgroud on every page in Sense, and make the background you apply to your homescreen as sharp as it is when viewing it in the photo gallery, or on your lockscreen.
I love my HD2...
hi,
I am running 1.48.479.1 (71294) WWE. Now I found that on the HTC site is 1.66.479.2 available.
But there's no changelog. Where can I find out if it is necessary to flash ROM for me? Where are the changelogs?
Thank you.

My advice would be to not worry about small increases in versions of pre installed software.
If your phone is working for you, stick with it. If you have issues, try the new rom.
You can always go back to your current rom if you dont like the new one, but to be honest you won't see any big changes.
yes, thats the old good rule valid even with motherboard BIOSes etc...
But dont you know where can I get the changelogs?
Thank you for replying
1.72 was ment to be a bigish update cus there was apparently a speed increase. I personally couldnt tell the diffrence as its always been fast for me.
They are noted on the website.
Release note>
Where they will tell you this ONLY fix a problem with sms...
That is not true at all.
I noticed a few things including the change of location of one feature (task manager??). it's not anymore under start/settings/other.
I also noticed i have new bugs like this...sms focus lost confused, some slowness, etc...
I also noticed other changes but I forgot
Hi guys
Received a sms message from T-mobile announcing the official release of ROM update. Check out the Tmobile HD2 site.
Edit:
Installed the update; found nothing new or exciting and now reverting back to Kumar's TMHD2 Touch Premium 2.9 WWE
For those who have flashed 2.08.HSPL to use unofficial ROMs, if you install the official release by USB your 2.08 HSPL will still be intact after the upgrade and you can go back to other ROMs with out any problem. That's what I did by reverting back to Kumar's ROM.

I am curious too about what it is for, it would be cool if it was Windows 7.
I am running Energy Rom, and Radio 2.15.50.14, so I am assuming updating would be a bad idea.
I just got the sms message too - I'm downloading it right now from the t-mobile website.
Figures - I just put a different ROM on my phone - yesterday! hahaha
i wonder why i didnt get a text, maybe because i was in android?

Still no multitouch keyboard. Is this not possible with WM6.5? I just can't understand why, almost a year after initial release, HTC has not released a multitouch keyboard for WM6.5 on the HD2. Iphone and Android have had it forever, and it makes SUCH A BIG difference!

As so many forum members have said, perhaps for a million times, ROM preference is really an art of matching ones individual needs; I have been testing several ROMs, Energy, Kumar's, Omega etc. and currently find Kumar's ROM meeting my needs. To me Kumar's ROMs seem stable and do not have many programs that the chefs generally tend to add to their custom ROMs. I like my system to be as minimum and as stable as possible so that I can add and customize it as I want.
So the best thing is to try couple of Custom ROMs and see if you feel comfortable with the version of ROM you have installed.
Also, the latest version of ROM (both Official, Custom) are generally less buggy.
For those of us who do not want to go for the custom ROMs, I guess today's official release from T-mobile should be the one we should be upgrading to. T-mobile must have ironed out previous noted bugs in this new upgarde. For the brief moments that I played with the official new release; everything was smooth and working. But as I said earlier, I have now reverted back to Kumar's ROM.
It appears that today's 'Official" release is the same as the leaked release from a couple of weeks ago.
The size of the RUU_signed.nbh is exactly the same size. The date is different but I doubt that means anything significant.
I never got any text from tmo. :-(
after attempting the update, I get 7 vibrations in a row at the tmo boot screen and then it freezes. Anyone else have this issue?
Just installed, took like 3 mins and it runs ok, they added new icons: amazon Mp3, Myaccount, Shazam and T-Mobile Help... my account and t-help icons are useless they dont do anything, still testing, i saw some improvements like faster reading from memory, now when i insert the sd card with a bunch of images, videos and music it takes less time reading them, the only issue that i got was that im unable to run android cuz it gets a weird screen and it does nothing, but if i get some problem i'll post it ok? thx!
what does the update even do?

I just updated to 2.13 the other day, and I put a custom ROM on my phone that I really really like alot since my phone seems to respond better to this one with no small lag. I have a question though, if I update to 3.14 will I loose the ability to put the custom ROM back on the phone or is it safe to update and put the custom ROM back in?
hi,
I have stock ROM 2.13.531.1
i recently installed HSPL3 and radio 2.15.50.14
now my quuestion is will i be able to install the new ROM without any problem? i dont want to brick my phone. Also will i be able to install the same radio 2.15.50.14 after installing the new stock ROM.
Hopefully htc have fixed the sms bug coz everytime i get a new sms my whole phone freezes for like 5 sec. and its really killing me.
thanks guys
