WM 6.1 not available for everybody ?

Hello,
I just tried to download the official 6.1 upgrade from HTC's website, but when I submit my serial number (verified under the battery and on the Touch's box) The website denies access to the download saying that Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device..
Is this problem common ? Is there a workaround ?

Are you from France? If yes - try official 6.1 FRA ROM here:

No s/n needed!!!

Thank you !

Not for India..
Yeah its not available for India too... although I don't know if this applies for Asia in general. Also we get the Mapking gps and not Tomtom. I guess that may be one reason... or something else...

Ok I see.. well here is the Radio ROM version according to the Device Information screen: Radio Version: 1.58.25.14 Protocol: 25.69.30.05W. Hope it helps.

just got my cruise yesterday, already did hard-spl using olipros hard-spl. also upgraded to wm6.1 i got my wm6.1 rom from wiki of polaris. wm6.1 has tomtom but i didnt use it, i installed mapking(comes with the package) on my polaris. you can also find the radio rom in the wiki.

thanx a lot guys... with the info i was able to downgrade from the official HTC WM 6.1 ... am able to use custom ROMs now... am basically at the same version levels as KULL now... the only difference being the protocol... i have 25.69.30.05H to his 25.69.30.05W... dont know what that means... from what i could gather 'H' supports a few more bands for GSM and UTMS than a 'W'. doesnt really make a diff to me... but i havent been able to connect to GPRS on airtel... dont know if the W/H diff is doing that... sorting that out now... thanx again

WM 6.1 for Asia / India
Hi,
I'm in India too and want to find out if others in Asia / India have upgraded to this official WM 6.1!
Is it worth moving to 6.1 and if so where can I download that WWE 6.1 ROM? As someone mentioned, I cannot download it from the official HTC site with my serial number as it seems its not available for my region.
I did hard SPL earlier and now running udk version on that which is very stable and I'm using it for about 5-6 months now - no issues at all. Dont want to get into any trouble while upgrading to this official one, but if its smooth and similar stability, I would like to move to the official ROM for now.
Thank you.

I don't know about the rest of Asia, but surely not available yet for India. I also got an email confirmation from Support recently. Will have to wait and watch, I think they were in a hurry to bring out ROM update for the Diamond since the launch it has received very luke warm response also got some bad word of mouth publicity where people found it buggy. Guess it should come some time...

Go to your settings tab and scroll down to "About Phone". In there, select "Software information". This will tell you the ROM version that you currently have (amongst other things).
The ROM upgrade on the HTC site is for unbranded versions only. If you want an official one for your phone then you have to wait until a Vodafone specific ROM is released. Alternatively, you can flash HSPL onto your device which will allow you to install any ROM, but this invalidates your warranty with Vodafone. If you do want to do that then do some reading in the ROM section. The stickied posts at the top of the forum are great for all levels, from total newbs to experts, so they should answer any questions you have.

Thank you very much aboput the tip.it was very hepfull
i will try to shrt it out since my rom version of my device is 1.43

I've got a HD2 with Vodafone and i managed to update to the last new ROM. I also had problems downloading it and eventually realised i was typing in O's (letters) rather than 0's (numbers). Perhaps try typing it in differently.

ah whatever happened to the good old days when an o was an o and a 0 was an ø.

My phone is not carrier locked and I updated with the previous (December) official HTC ROM without a problem. However, when I enter my s/n for the new ROM, it says it's not available for my region. I have a copy of the new WWE ROM, can I install it without a problem?

Changing the rom shouldn't change the serial number, double check you are using the correct serial (oh's as zero's perhaps?)

ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 Vodafone Branding

Hello everybody,
I have bought my new HTC HD2 from Vodafone Germany. I live in Germany and ,as all windows devices, my HTC is localized to Germany and the windows mobile 6.5 comes with the German language and I wanted to change it to English. I tried to download the ROM upgrade to "English-Arabic support" from HTC website but when I put the serial number of my device it says that this version is not suitable for your device and I have found another version "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe" and when I tried to install it I got an error says "INVALID Vendor ID" or something like this.
Finally I have bought a 3ed party software just to be enabled to read arabic but the language is still German
So please if anybody knows how to solve this problem and help me I will be thankful.
Best Regards,
Amer

install hspl then instal whichever run you like via usb.

i had the same probs here with vodaphone uk...
as above, install hspl, the sticky of this can be found in the leo roms section of this site and it will guide you, but the installation process is really straight forward.. then you are able to install any of the ROMS, be they official OR custom cooked roms..
My personal favourite is the ENERGY series of roms.. but have a good look about, im sure you will find many that offer the practicality and versatility your after!

Hi Ell_H,
Thank you very much for your reply and I have read about HSPL and it sounds amazing tool but another question about restoring the old system. How can I get the original ROM and restore the system to its old state after changing it?
Thanks in advanced.

You need to find the original rom for your phone, both region AND provider(if you were getting invalid serial on teh htc website then your phone is provider locked, so for example you would need to look for the german t mobile rom, if you got your phone from t mobile germany)
Once you have your original rom you can then use sd card method to remove hspl and restore to factory rom. You can only do this with your original shipped rom.

Problem upgradind German Vodafone ROM
Hi,
I have the same problem upgrading the Vodafone ROM. I would like to load the generic ROM or any other ROM that works with Vodafone. It can be English as well. If I try to load the generic through HTC site it checks the SN and doesn't allow the ROM upgrade.
What to do to load another up to date ROM without running into the same issue as Amer? There are so many ROM version out there and I don't want to risk trying the wrong ROM.
Thanks for help!

You need to obtain the rom from vodafone, or use HSPL / Gold Card to flash another ROM.

Thx for answer. I read about HSPL and will figure that out. I read there are requirements concerning the radio. My radio is 2.04.50.22_2 and ssems pretty old. Does someone know where to find the best guide how to do the HSPL install?
There are many ROMS out there and I want to make sure I will not run into trouble using it with Vada. What ROM to take is the question?
Danke!

Oficial rom wwe 1.66

Hi just got the Htc Leo week ago. First i want to upgrade my rom to the oficial one. Im running 1.43 wwe and i want load 1.66 wwe but there's two yhings witch stoping me:
1. On htc website i try tu download the 1.66 rom but when i put my serial number it said that: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
2. On sunnysoft page i dowload 1.66 rom but they write that:
LIMITATION
PN: 99HJZ022-00
(compare with the number on the label
under battery of your device)
and my number dont match 99HJY070-0
Is that mean that i cant upgrade my rom?
If i upgrade will i brick my leo
I'm not sure is that becouse my htc is branded to o2
Can someone provide me any help
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

I belive o2 branded HD2 do not have an official update as of yet. You can how ever HSPL the device and flash the rom. It will not have any ill effect if you follow the instructions.

myone...
My one is NOT branded and I can't download 1.66 based on serial as well. But being on factory rom has also advantages -> I can (and will) go back to the shop, put it on the table and say "thank you, I've had enough".

Did you try to download the official 1.66 ROM from here and install it on the device?

[Q] wm 6.1

yep another f'ing thread aksing the same question;
whats the best/stable/fastest wm 6.1 out there?
i'd like to go back to the original firmware but i've up'ed and down'ed my blackstone so many frickin' times, don't know what to do with it anymore.
is painstakin' slow. im curruntly using kwbr wm 6.1 (if i remember correctly) using spl 1.56 olinex with radio 1.17blabla
so i ya know a good one,
just link up

Use this and your problems will go away 4ever
http://sunnysoft.cz/download/HTC/ROM_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1-56-479-0.zip

thnx 4 the quick reply dude.
can you specify what i'm downloading?
by the looks of it, its an original release right?

Sure, this is Blackstone Shipped ROM, your phone will return to the original state

Why don't you go to the htc website and download the latest version they have for your phone and region, remember that the last radios aren't always the best, the radio it's suitable for your region.

"Why don't you go to the htc website and download the latest version they have for your phone and region"
Because according to phone IMEI he (she?) might get wrong/unusable language.
Or might not get a choice at all, since some IMEIs are not supported for update...
For instance, I'm getting choice to DL latest 6.1 ROM in German... which I don't speak or understand.
And yes, Germany was closest land where I could get unlocked Blackstone at that time...

allright thnx you guys
