Add one more, there is a brand new SMS_Updated patch added in Hong Kong too!

i thought 1.66 fixed the sms issue?
i've only sent 5 since updating but all went through instantly...

I installed the HK hotfix and no harm has been done (i.e. it's better than the last one, which produced monster text in my SMS folders). I can send SMS messages; but then I could before as long I kept the inbox below ten messages.

It says ROM version less than 1.66.XX, so its safe to assume that people on 1.66 dont need it.
I am on 1.66 and have not experienced any problems as such..

Installing it for about 10 minutes now.. not finished yet!
If they wont release 1.66 for Germany, it´d be a bad joke.
Edit: to anyone who installed it: Does the Hotfix appear under Software at the settings?
My device restarted itself after 15 minutes of installation.. no idea if it worked

I'm downloading this as we speak...could anyone tell us if it's necessary for us to uninstall any of the previous two hotfixes? any separate differences (such as radio upgrade and what not that's not apparent from the hotfix "title"?). The last hotfix that was taken down took up a lot of memory, so worried that this will take even more.

is the new manager sms 2011.3631

No it doesnt show under remove programs and a reboot once finished is normal. It should be installed.

When I install this fix on a german ROM will the SMS Client be german then? The hotfix is not available form the german htc site...

can someone who applied the update please provide the build number of the
htc messaging? for that, goto "all messages/menu/about".
my current version with miri's 1.4B (tmo 2.02 base) is 2011.1932!
thx in advance!

I hope this fix is for users who don't want to flash a new ROM or can't do it because of branding...
Hey HTC Germany (and the other countries) : I hope you've finished 1.66-translation soon like your collegues in italy,spain,france,norway,...
We want to flash - not only fix - this weekend

"is the new manager sms 2011.3631..."

I installed the hotfix on Dutty's 1.3 ROM,
It last 2 minutes.
After softreset the SMS program is now 1.5 but It was already 1.5 on Dutty's ROM!
BUT when replying to a SMS to a contact with a large amount of received sms, it is almost instantly possible to reply (write)! The messages are loaded very very quickly!

could it be the same as the one that was pulled? it still says LEO8007 like the one before this

Installed this new hotfix...
No more visible subfix "- GSM" on old SMS this time...
edit: should be just hidden, but not delete the subfix. I still can see it at myphone...

Don't think so, quite a few files with date 25-01-2010 to 28-01-2010. Thinking whether or not to install this one the miri 1.5 rom having the 1.66/2.02 base.

The fix is not available at the danish site But it seems we got the 1.66 rom instead

It's a later version than the one we've got just by doing the 1.66 upgrade then (2011.1932)

I have instaleld this on an italian 1.48 rom and got the new version of the sms application: will see how it works and if all is good won't upgrade to 1.66 for now

1.66 ROM update question.

After installing the new 1.66 ROM, is it necesarry to install the peviously released hotfixe's, or are these already implemented in the newest ROM?

Already integrated.
Depending on your language, however, the latest SMS fix (of 24/01) has to be applied, too. If you are using a cooked rom with 1.66 base you'll also have to install the latest SMS hotfix.

Doesn't say it's for the UK WWE 1.66 ROM and it's not on the UK support page so not gonna bother unless it appears...I delete every SMS after reading anyway so never been an issue...
EDIT: OK, I lie it is there, didn't see it beneath the ROM update itself. Might give it a go, can't hurt can it?

If you are using the version they have in their support section, you as UK client don't need to apply it .

It is in the support page BUT if you click on the download button it goes back to the Support front end so guessing it's not needed as I've got the new ROM...

It normally states in the update which ROM it applies to. Which means that all of them (excluding the Valendar View) don't need to be applied to 1.66.
The only one which doesn't is the Calendar View update which says
"Note: This update is only applicable to all ROM Version"​ now I don't beleive this as they would surely apply it to a ROM.
Maybe someone else can help whith this one.

Yes, because the UK version has been released AFTER the SMS update, you are already good to go and fully updated. However, in other countries the ROM update came earlier and the new SMS fix is probably not in those yet.

Thanks for the help.
I'm on the Norwegian ROM, so i guess I'm ok then. (Sms update has been removed from HTC site after the ROM update came out.)

I second that. Send a mail to HTC yesterday to make sure the WWE rom update I was about to download already contained previous updates and they replied that it wasn't necessary to install them again. (It was in Dutch so that's why I'm not attaching the mail).

what version after hard-reset?
i have a question. I had update the ROM with the 1.66 version. If i now execute a hard-reset what version should i be with? 1.43 (original) or 1.66?

1.66 (if flashed officially).

and via HSPL?

HSPL = Hard (flashed) SPL so it will be 1.66 still..

Thanks!

Greetings to you all...
I apologise ahead of time, my noobness is about to show through...
I will be getting my HD2 on the 3rd from Phones4U with a Vodafone contract and will be wanting to do the ROM update to 1.66. I am wondering about the following things:
1. Has this gone wrong for anyone and should it go wrong what is the fix?
2. Having never done this before and not wanting to get it wrong - does the downloaded update have all the tools I need to do the update? Or is there a specific piece of software I need from HTC?
3. Tried to follow this thread regarding the new SMS update and am not sure regarding the outcome - if I am on ROM 1.66 do I need to do the SMS update as well?
Thanks in advance for all willing to answer what are probably basic question - this is my first real smartphone and I am keen beyond belief but also do not want to mess it up...
P.S. Is there a manual in the box? (ROLL ON WEDNESDAY!)
Scott (In anticipation)

Double post - sorry!

Hi,
I got my HD2 from Dial-A-Phone (Phones4U) and it was an unlocked version so all updates from HTC are available. It'll likely come with the 1.48 ROM on it so first thing to check is whether this is correct. Go into Settings>About phone>Software version and it'll be in there.
Assuming yu are on 1.48 then go to the HTC UK support site and download the ROM update from the 25/01/2010. The other updates are rolled into this so you don't need them.
HTC UK Support - HD2
Now, charge up your phone and connect to your PC. If using Vista/Windows 7 it should recognise it being a Windows Phone and connect up using the Windows Mobile Device Center. Once done, make sure it says connected and then run the ROM file (which is an .exe file) and follow the instructions.
If, however, the phone is already on 1.66 then nothing more is needed!!

Excellent - really appreciate your feedback - I am, for once, wishing my weekend away so that Wednesday will get here quicker...
Scott

Official ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 (T-Mobile) UK 26/04/10 1.72.110.4

Sorry if other people have already seen this, I did a search and couldn't find anything. I just noticed that T-Mobile have released (via HTC) an official UK (and Germany and Czech Republic) a 1.72 version of the ROM for the HD2 on the 26th April 2010 (2 days ago).

Im installing now...where do I find that info ? biggest noob of em all

Is this just for T Mobile usres as the name sugests??
Im on O2, completely new to Winmo and smart phones at that!!!
Not rele sure what i need to do, but im trying to sort things out.

No to 3.5..... shocker
Manila 2012 but I can't see any differences over the former 1920..... please feel free to correct me
Personally, I can't see / feel many if any decent changes.......
If you install, your phone will be as you originally received it (save the updated software) so you will have to re-install everything...
If I had the previous 1.43 I would flash back...

I havent added anything as yet as i only had it since monday!!
Sorry to sound dumb, was is flash back??

Then you have nothing to worry about....

is there some sort of changelog for this?
please do report on what its like, particularly stability and messaging
then i might do my first HD2 flash...

i upgraded from original 1.43 stock rom and must say its a lot smoother than before, doesnt freeze up as much very little lagging.
no real difference in battery life, maybe a touch better but the main difference for me is that HTC messaging works instead of me having to rever back to wm messaging.
also, it came with .net 3.5 so i dont know why others have said it doesnt.

well im sold!
will DL and flash tonight!
thanks for the report jonyid

Any Ideas
Hi Guys
I cant seem to be able to download the T-Mobile rom from HTC's site. When I enter my serial number the site says that Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. Yet I am a UK user on T-Mobile with rom version 1.66.405.2 what am I doing wrong?

What ROM are you using, as T-MobUK have only had 1.43 and now 1.72?
I am also with T-MobUK but I quickly dumped ROM 1.43, HSPL'd and went for the HTC standard WWE 1.66 ROM. Since T-MobUK 1.72 is WWE1.66 with T-Mob bloatware added, then there is no point updating.
If you really want the 1.72 ROM, I'll get it for you.

Hi Please ignore above I have just discovered even though I bought my phone as a t-mobile one it is in fact the unlocked phone, so am I right in understanding that the latest rom for my phone (according to HTC's Site) is 166.405.2

I recently upgraded my Tmobile 1.43 Rom to the new 1.72.110.4 from the HTC website. So far it seems to be ok. Not much of a difference: Solitaire and Bubble breaker have been added, You Tube, Bing search and one or two additions as well. Most importanly however is the performance of the HTC messaging program. I used PIM back toback up for my text messages, contacts, calender. Ugraded the ROM, (took about 10mins or less) and restored text messages from the back up file.
Restore process showed me 7000+ texts copied to the device. Restarted the device, checked messaging and got the "restoring messages" status bar. Took about 1 hour since then, I have noticed a marked improvement in the HTC messaging application. Can now continue using the phone even when a text comes in, can delete without having to wait ages for the device to start up again.
BTW I have some apps installed: TomTom 6, Swype, Skype, TCPMP player, Registry editor, etc.
Hope that information helps or encourages someone!
does anyone know if its possible to go back to the 1.43 ROM??? (just curious....)

Noob question here... as I have flashed my device and installed a custom ROM (or many) already will this take HSPL off my device? Will it be ok to do the normal install or will it brick my device?
I'm just trying to get my phone back to stock Rom levels as I need to return it to Tmobile and this is the only place I've managed to find the TmobileUK stock ROM.
Help? Please?!

Can anyone help with this at all? Please?!

This is a re-release of the botched rom a couple weeks back yes? It looks to be the same size and everything, however after flashing this earlier just to see, it's as snappy on my phone as any custom rom and the battery life is actually insane now.
Like, so much battery now I feel empowered to maybe do some tethering or wifi routing

Updating mine now. The ROM is available on tmobile's site too.
They sent me a text saying an update was available. I hope this fixes all the freezing issues I've been having before I sell this thing and buy an e73.

Turn phone off, Hold the Vol Down button and turn on the phone. This will put it into bootloader mode with multicolour screen.
Plug the phone into windows and the serial should change to usb on the phone, then run the rom.
Good luck

Has anybody noticed any changes or can feature a changelog?

Anyone flashed this rom succesfully on german o2 HD7?

Download a free trial of windows and use bootcamp or a free trial of VMware.

FYI
Phone info after Update:
OS 7.0.7004.0
Firmware: 2250.09.16101.207
Radio: 5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U
Bootloader: 1.61.2250.0(114451)
Updated fine, no issues so far but only updated 20 minutes ago

Wasn´t it meant to be pubished via Zune or online-update???
I thought windows phones should update itself with new updates.
I´m not sure if I shouldn´t better wait for an update via the official way.
It´s not that I flashed my HD2 hundred times without problems but I´m thinking if it wouldn´t be easier to update the "normal" way. Does anyone know whether the normal update style would backup settings and mails so that you don´t have to recreate everything on your own???

Thx for the quick answer. So is the firmware and the radio never updated by the push updates from MS???
What yould then be the normal way for the firmware-updates?
Htc Website??? there is no HD7 at the moment!
Please explain if you got further informations.

Updated to german O2 version. No problem so far. Seems to be a bit snappier. Graphics seem a little faster, also the phone boot. Reception shows up stronger. I found it interestant to see that the the intelligent phone app from HTC doesn´t reset anymore after reboot Thx for making me update the firmware !!!

they CAN update the radio/spl by air but I think that will come from your operator .
so HTC makes an update and sent it to your operator , the operator is signing the update (vendor ID) and then or sent it to MS (I think for releasing it over Zune) or release it on the operator website/by air
