Im very disappointed with my device bcoz its mobile window OS is in Dutch. Hence, i really dont know how to use it effectively. That's reason I am seeking for a upgrade ROM image. Please help me !!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a chance anybody could provide me this or any other rom? I can set up an FTP account, just send me a msg.

Prior to the ROMs being removed from the XDA ftp, i grabbed a complete backup of everything Herald related (and some other bits)
Currently running this ROM on both my own, and my girlfriends Herald, and it works like a charm.

Larholm, you've upgraded your Herald with Dutch ROM with new English ROM without problems with Vendor ID?

same here and I'm from Belgium btw
maybe some one with an english rom could try it out?

I do not understand, why they don't bring out a new ROM for everyone... I mean, we also bought the device, and we have a right, getting the update!

It looks like it's only available for users in The Middle East & Africa region, since other countries don't have the link.

you guys think there's any chance this would work on a htc touch from an other region (why would they only put it on the african version of the site then? ) maybe some one from africa could try to download it and upload it somewhere so everyone can get hold of it

its work with me after i become madeeeeeeeee

I did what they say in a original RUU but nothing works i tried it too on an other PC but the same error WHAT TO DO?!?!?!?!?!

Same issue
I had this same issue, and i contacted HTC support with my serial number. Apparently, because i bought my from Hong Kong when it first came out, I have a different version then the version posted on the HTC main site for the U.S.A. I had to Choose Hong Kong -English as my country and download that version.
http://www.htc.com/hk-en/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=59&act=sd&cat=all
You may want to check that link or other countries on HTC's web site. They will verify if that version will work before you download.

You have to hard-spl first before you can use custom roms.

Can not upgrade diamond 2 to WM 6.5

Hi , I need help to understand why I cant upgrade my diamond 2 to WM 6.5
Here is my current version ( I got my phone in Hong Kong )
rom 1.40.707.2(49069)wwe
rom date 06.15.09
radio 3.44.25.27
protocol 61.25t.25.19u
I tried to download a rom update from here :
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=728&news_id=310
but I got a message that there is no upgrade available for my serial number.
Than I took a number (ht968l100038) from stock , from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568330
I downloaded an update , it started to run but then I got a message :
Error 294 - invalid vendor ID
So my question is :
1. Why there is no update available from official HTC site ?
2. How in any case I can upgrade it ? what's wrong with my vendor ID ?
Thanks ! ! !
Hope some one could help me !

If you read previous posts about that message, someone said it was because the 6.5 upgrade is not for your region. Hong kong in europe?
You have to wait for the upgrade to be available for hong kong/asia.

Hong Kong belongs to asia.actually I live in another country,but got my phone in h.kong.
but version of my rom is an english one,is there some workaround to install it anyway?

win 6.5
htc has now actually realesed the official update
when i tried to upgrade mine from the htcpedia one it bricked my phone, i mananaged to recover it and install stock 6.1 onto it so hopefully now that im going from a stock 6.1 rom rather than a custom 6.5 it should work lol

Mine S/N is "ht97xl......." .
Some one have an idea what to do ?
When HTC will release an update for this vendor ?

Figured it out:
They have only released European versions of the upgrade which does not work with those of us that have asian ones. The HTC huys don't have a release date for the Asian English Winmo 6.5 ROM release.
Not impressed really.

Hello, i tryed to update my TD2 from wm 6.1 to 6.5 from official htc site -- http://www.htc.com/de/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=728&news_id=310 -- , but when i put my serial number of my phone, it says that for my region is not available wm 6.5 update , i bought my phone from O2 Germany ..
what's the problem ?
ty in advance

I sent an inquiry to HTC and what that they said :
Thank you for contacting HTC Corporation,
Dear HTC Customer
With regards to your inquiry, the WM6.5 upgrade for the HTC Touch Diamond2 is not available yet and should be available within the coming month. Kindly contact us later for more information regarding your WM6.5 upgrade inquiry.
so lets wait .... I don't want to break my phone with unofficial ROMs and loose my warranty. Cant they that their ROM will be perfect,but anyway ...

Today i have decided to upgrade my german device to the 6.5 stock rom (I selected german region). I've put in my serial number, selected the file and the location. And now, I thought I could download the official 6.5 rom. But the download link led me to this site: http://www.htc.com/www/support.aspx where i could not download any rom. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Branded TD2's got other serials, so you can only dl ROMs released by your vendor. Also you won't be able to flash the ROM if phone is not unlocked (you need hardspl 1.83).

@S-Line
I've bought my phone unbranded and unlocked, it is not a phone from my provider. The serial i've put in to the field for download ist valid, otherwise i wouldn't get so far to the select the rom file and the the region.
I wrote to the HTC support and they answered: "Wir moechten Sie bitten, den Download zu einem spaeteren Zeitpunkt noch einmal zu versuchen. "
But maybe its better to leave a running system at it is. I've read the thread "Issues with the official 6.5 build" and it does not fills me with confidence in 6.5. Maybe i should try a cooked rom. Will see.

The official HTC Rom is ok, but I really can recommend udK's Leo R6 (German version) or Dutty's Holy Grail R1 (a bit faster but WWE). Both are better than stock ROM.

Today I have flashed my TD2 with your recommended udK Leo R6 and I'm surprised, I have much more space left after the installation. Original, as I bought my device, there were only 180 mb free data space, with this cooked rom I have far over 200 mb left after flashing. Until now, after some hours of playing around i like it, it feels faster. And I'm very happy, that my first attempt of hardspl and rom flashing was successful.
