Expect this to be released soon...
About bloody time!! Not that I needed it as my HD2 wasn't on the VF but a LOT of VF users are waiting on this!!
yep.. its coming... the official stock 1.66 was approved by Voda recently so now they are customising.
Any info about bloody O2 upgrade?

Lol, tried to post this on the VF forum - mods are checking it so doubt it'll go up!!!
Awesome, as above about time.... Hopefully VF won't have put any customisations on to this ROM.
I got my phone on a vodafone contract (although the phone box says suitable for orange on it) and its got 1.66 ROM and the same radio as posted... so does this mean that the new phones (mines a few days old) are being shipped with it...?
you're is probably not on the VF ROM - it'll be an unlocked one...check by going to the HTC support site and put your serial number in. If it takes it it's not on a VF vendor ID

if they weren't going to they'd have released it by now
Some questions, firstly if they have customised it how have they managed to destroy it and secondly shall I stay HTC 1.66 WWE or go with Vodafone 1.66 WWE
I think I'll stay with the HTC one imagine flashing the VF version and ending up with the VF red/white stuff all over the place lol
I notice the ROM version is 405.2 where as WWE is 405.1 I wonder if they have maybe fixed some stuff as 1.66 WWE still has some issues (just had to battery pull as mine just locked up again)
Actually... going back to some correspondance i have had with Vodafone.... this ROM will most likely not be customised.
It is being released as a response to the overwhelming unhappiness of Vodafone customers on 1.43.
There is a fully customised ROM in the pipeline though.
seriously, whats the point in them adding things? I'm on VF and all their services run absolutely fine. I can't for the life of me see how they can improve on what HTC, or even the chefs on here, can create...

It is indeed unlocked as you surmise... I entered my serial number and the download started... woo hoo... unlocked is what I was after... nice...
For anyone on O2 that happens to be reading this, , if you got your device in the last few weeks there has been reports that the roms are not provider locked on the newer shipped devices.
For all networks, best way to check is put your serial in the HTC website, if it's accepted, you have a wwe HTC rom, if it's not, you have a wwe provider locked rom.

O2 are really starting to disappoint me with their tardiness. and I work for them.
It has been confirmed as on its way but with no ETA. I hope it has radio rom .9 and the more responsive os build

Today they emailed me a "change" in their terms and conditions, and linked to a lengthy Ts&Cs page. Trouble is, they don't highlight what has changed and I have no patience to re-read the entire thing.
Same here, new contract, don't you hate it when they do that, I always feel like they are trying to hide something by sending the entire contract without pointing out exactly what has been added or changed! Perhaps it's just paranoia on my part <twitch>
I am hoping that the wait for the new O2 rom will mean we will all be pleasantly suprised at it's content, but don't hold your breath. I can just see it now on XDA Developers when it is released... "Why did we have to wait so long for this new ROM, it's crap!"
Oh well, figers crossed
Regards
There is a new build currently in test, based on the 1.30 ROM and 1.09 Radio stack. It will be without A2DP functionality.

Pretty good, screen switching is faster than O2, phone signal seems pretty stable. Can't comment on the memory leak issues, because I'm not sure when the memory is being used for cache or when it is really leaked.
WiFi network finder has some nice changes, LIST of available networks now shows signal strength too, and alarms now have a "dismiss until 5 mins before event" thing - neat!
Thanks Doody, I think I'll give it a go tonight.

if they dont and there are a number of us on the forum with mails from O2 to the contrary then we can roast them for misleading us.

let's just say if i do share this ROM, there will be no more testing for me in the future and also i will be in deep trouble. It's a risk i can't take. But good news is I can confirm the WM6 update is coming really soon now.
Sorry to be the one to ask this but what is considered soon? By the end of the month. I can't wait for the stability of WM6. I was spoiled with my Hermes. I forgot what it was like to run WM5.

there you go, someone answer for me. Official release is said to be out next month. I will be getting beta version at the end of the month of beginning of next month. Hopefully they won't delay on the official release.
p.s. Oh, by the way, this time line only applys to DOPOD, HTC might have similar time line too. But T-mobile Ameo user should expect a slide delay if T-mobile ever wanted to release the WM6 for Ameo.
ok
We know about the official release from Dopod, but this ~internal beta testing~ is really internal.
Someone needs to share, the potential of this device only will be explored with WM6...
Meanwhile , I'm still using my Universal....
and next week... The Jesus Phone (aka Iphone)
Why is everyone so kean on WM6 - the official blurb I read only seemed to be rae about html email - is wm6 really worth reinstalling everything? (when it comes ...)
Yes it is. I had a Hermes for the past 10 months and upgraded to WM6 as soon as XDA came out with it. Even from the very first beta versions it was more stable and faster than an official WM5 version. And remember the WM6 versions I was using had been hacked up and stuff added and taken away. Even with all that I would never soft reset it during the day to unfreeze it or to get the memory back that programs had leaked. Grant it there were still programs that had problems due to incompatibility with WM6. But overall it is a faster and smoother operating system.
more bad news...

HTC is also offering WM6 upgrades for the most popular devices in its current range. This includes recently launched “messaging” products, which will enjoy the greatest benefits of Windows Mobile 6, such as the HTC Advantage, the HTC TyTN, the HTC S620, and the HTC P4350. The upgrade will also be available for the award-winning HTC P3300, plus some of our operator-branded devices. The upgrades will be rolled out from June, in line with our operator partners’ strategies.

according to HTC europe, the release date for the Athena's WM6 is early September...
It wont matter, come August Advantage X7501 is out which ships with WM6. Once someone gets hold of this we will get a ported WM6 ROM.

I'm pretty confident given the Vast similarities of the devices someone on these boards will be able to easily and readily do the port. Therefore I confer my previous statement that once X7501 is released, we will have a WM6 ROM, none of this waiting for September business.

that is very true, anyway, from what i know and the beta testing going on, the wm6 is still possible to be launch in July, so if lucky, you will get it before x7501 comes out. Second, don't forget you need to CID Unlock your device before flashing x7501.
Hi
Just visited HTC site to see if they have put the O2 branded ROM update up yet and the 1.48 ROM that was there yesterday seems to have gone?? Here's hoping they are re-uploading it to apply to ALL HD2s !
Hmmm I just checked and yeah it doesn't exist anymore... maybe they pulled it and because 1.61 is maybe coming out very soon?
Worldwide it does not appear if you go to the UK site it is still there.... silly me!!

1.48 was total bogus afaik, and im thinking htc realized that too now, seeing how they without-a-doubt will know that roughlly half the hd2 users from this forum already run 1.61, since it DOESNT HAVE BROKEN CORE FUNCTIONALITYS, like one would expect from a hightech phone.
1.48 is Gone from htc site over here aswell, i srsly hope there will be a official worldwide 1.61 soon

No mate - the release date is rubbish. I think they should be a bit more careful about their release dates, as that's more like the date that it was "leaked", but not "officially" available on their site. (Lots of " when I talk about HTC "release" process )
Incidentally, it's still available in the UK. It doesn't make sense!

They never removed it from the site... and it was never in the support list... On my side, I've got the official link from xda... Hopefully, some poeples here read the (boring) official announcments
I think they've removed it because it doesn't have a so much good overall performance/number of bugs/usability improvements.
Anyway, the 2.01 ROM is a whole new story.
Not sure if this is old or new news....new firmware version released today

I concur - just checked Europe and UK. We score "nil pwa", as they say in the Eurovision Song Contest. Apologies to non-Europeans, if you don't understand, google it!
Please tell me it fixed more than just the SMS issue...... i'm on the edge of this or a milestone and so far, the Milestone seems the less buggy!
oooohhhh!!! this could be the day ladies and gents ..still nothing on the UK site tho.
don't expect too much hahah If the previous SMS patches are of any indication, we might be disappointed.
The old 1.48 has been pulled from the danish HTC site... It might be a sign of better things to come
Edit: Now the 1.48 is up again.... Weird...

It won't upgrade the OS. They'd certainly not wrap up the "6.6" release (as they're now referring to it) by saying it fixes some SMS problems.
Expect a fanfare and ticker-tape parade when they up the OS.
Thai ROM
There is now ROM version 1.66 available for thai region. If anyone here has a thai region phone, could you please download the new ROM and upload it to HCTpedia repository for official ROMs. I want to try this ROM, but it can only be downloaded using a serial number from a thai region phone, and I don't have that.
http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=424&e=0
Apparently it was released yesterday for Vodafone UK customers...
ROM:1.72.161.3
- Where's HTC's 1.72 release?
I was speaking to Voda 2nd line support about this a week and a bit ago.
Its basically the 1.66 rom with 2.08 radio bundled in. No changes to ROM as far as i know just new radio.
EDIT: oh yeah i forgot... its also supposed to fix the issue with downloading pictures that Vodafone HD2 customers might have experienced. As we all know every major network is now compressing images to make their 3G/HSPA networks faster. With Vodafone what is supposed to happen is you will see the compressed image when browsing but when you download that picture it is uncompressed.... this functionality waasnt working previously. This ROM is supposed to fix it.
Well the radio in it is the 2.07.51.22

The guy i was speaking to was the guy testing the ROM... i got talking to him just a few minutes before he recieved the ROM from HTC and the above is what he told me.
Ive just emailed him to confirm whether the picture downloading issue is resolved so when he replies i will ask him why the 2.08 radio isnt in there.

Is that something HTC changed on 1.66 to 1.72 codebase?
Or is it something that Vodafone have done...
Anyone with developer/chef skills able to take this apart and look at the software versions being used.
I'd like to know if its 1.66ROM with some "fixes" or whether its actually a 1.72ROM like the codebase a lot of the custom ROM that haven't gone 2.x are using...
It does appear to be based on the 1.72 ROM as most of the EXT packages in it are what I was using for my ROM which is based on 1.72 and it's using base 21869...looks like VF are ahead of the game!!
