Bit outdated mate. Dated 7th April 2009. Looks most likely like version 1.56 which has been incorporated into a lot of WM6.1 roms. However newer releases including 1.57 & 1.59 have been released. Latest cooked roms already include either 1.57 or 1.59
Shipped roms can be found in wiki here mate
not in date ?

If your phone if orange branded then this is the reason why HTC says the firmware update is not for your phone.

My new Touch HD came last week with this ROM on it - it's on T-Mobile but SIM unlocked. very stable, no major problems other than the fact I could do with a better radio support since the T-Mobile coverage where I am is lousy, but the Touch is still worse than my SonyEricsson W950i.
Will 1.57 or 1.59 ROMs help on the radio side ?
answer from HTC
Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. An IMEI check of your device indicated that it is an exclusive product, branded to the HT849KD09700 mobile network.

For this reason, contact your provider for any support that you might need, including repairs and software updates. As your handset is an exclusive product from a distributor, you will also not be able to get the HTC website support files as this is only for genuine original HTC branded devices.
Im asking orange now for more infomation
Please let us know how Orange responds. I too would like to try a new ROM update on my Orange TOuch HD.

I just changed the title to refelct the subject mater better.
You are facing the same problem as most of us which is why this site is loved so much.
In my case I have 1.14 German rom sold by sunrise.
My S/N also does not work on the 1.56 shipped roms from HTC.
They will also not sell me a WWE version of Blackstone.
So the only choice I have is to USPL / HSPL the device and get myself either a cooked or shiiped rom.
Now I am lucky as the branding of the device (flash screen, ect) is on no intrest to me, on top of that Sunrise gives me no add on Cabs that I need or even want.
My aprroaching sunrise has got me no were.
My hope is that you might get somewere and that we might beable to get a shipped rom that we can add to our collection.
Good luck
slightly off topic, but what is the difference between the WWE and European versions of the ROM available on the Wiki ? I'm currently on WWE 1.56 (T-Mobile UK) and have upgraded the radio from 1.13 to 1.14 without any effect. Wondering if the Europe version is any different, also wondering if it would help any of you locked onto Orange ?
no responce from orange
No responce from orange yet , will keep you guys upto date , chnaging the radio wont work on the Orange ROM , in the forum there are loads of folk who have kiled there phone and had to go back to " factory " settings .
I have written a letter of complaint to orange as they have said that there are no plans to release any updated ROM versions in the future. I await a call from orange complaints department. Im not expecting anything. If you put a non-orange ROM on your phone then you void your warranty. Great service me thinks not!
This is the latest rom from orange. check this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517803
still nothign
still nothing from orange, I cant see wht orange wont " upgrade " the rom , even HTC this fixes certain problems... I will ask them again and get back to you ..
This reminds me so much of a past experience I had with a phone network company. Yes it maybe Orange!!!
Same thing as you I wrote and wrote. In the end I got so fed up I upgraded with a custom rom that suited my needs. I DID however take note that by doing a custom rom/radio upgrade screwed the warrenty...HOWEVER I read on xda dev many threads on backing up the original rom along (and more importantly) HOW TO downgrade back incase the phone needed replacing via the Networks Warrenty.
Orange IMHO are the best network out there for many reasons. But I guess they are of the opinion, that as the rom that come with it works without too many customers complaining, then they won't and need not offer an update.
For the record. I updated to Miri v12 and have followed this rom genious for months. My Blackstone runs like a bullet from a gun, and is as reliable as I want. Everything works on it and I now know exactly HOW to downgrade the phone should it happen to go wrong and need to be shipped back to Orange for replacement....or repair.
Read....read and read some more...and you'll end up loving you Blackstone more than you would have.
I have just spoken to customer support. They are now saying that the first year of warranty is with HTC and that in her opinion they would not void the warranty if you install the official rom, even though HTC say the ROM upgrade is not compatible !?!
Yea I am having exactly the same problem, I did try two updated roms from the wiki, The WWE 1.59 and the EU 1.59 both worked as far as resetting my phone got to 1% and then came up on the PC screen to say it was not supported by my provider? Would I be able to use one of these roms and flash it using another method? I have seen a few other methods of doing it?
Also would it be benificial to just use a cooked rom if I can't get one from Orange? Would I still be able to connect into their network afterwards or would I need to input a whole lot of settings?

may be worth checking my posts at the end of the "Dummys guide...." in the ROM section and adding your voice
Cool thanks will do
i have from today htc hd2 on contract from o2,and after reading about this phone i was find out i have all old softwares,i was trying update on htc web site but this link dont like me after when i was writing my serial number.
At the moment i have OS.Vers:5.2.21864(21864.5.0.81), Manila vers: 2.5.19202525.0 and my ROM Version is !!! : 1.43.206.4 (70315)WWE ,well to be honest with you guys im not sure what to do with that?i was upgrade from that popular iphone3gs,they don't do it this for the users buuuu
Thanks for any help,would be great if i will know what i can update on my phone
if that is important i running windows 7 home premium 32bit
what version were you trying to upgrade to?
If you only just got it today, try it for a bit first, i got an o2 one two weeks ago, no problems at all. Dont go rushing to update if you dont have to till you need to.
The O2 HD2 also have a branded ROM, so you wont be able to download from HTC unless O2 permit. Even if you get a hold of the ROM it will still fail unless you HSPL (or other method).
As samsamuel said. I've also not had the problems that others have written about. That's probably the reason O2 haven't issued an upgrade.
Leave it be and enjoy

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum and to HTC in general, so there are a few newbie questions on the way.
I got a Touch HD in China yesterday. Since it came with a Chinese ROM, I asked the guys to change it with an English one, thinking that I would have no trouble getting the new EU update from the HTC webpage by myself. I read a bit about it on these forums, but the more I read the more confused I get - I have absolutely no idea what SPL, USPL, HSPL, CID and all those things mean and what one is supposed to do with them.
When I switch the phone on, the bottom right part of the loading screen says this:
R 1.14.25.24
G 52.64.25.34H
D 1.59.Dutty
When I go into Settings>System>Device Information>Version, I have the following:
ROM version: Duttys HD XT V3.8 WWE
ROM date: 21/06/09
Radio version: 1.14.25.24
Protocol version: 52.64.25.34H
Now, as I said above, I want to install the stock EU ROM from the official HTC website - what is the simplest way to do this? I'm really sorry for asking something which has probably been asked a gazillion times by now, but when it comes to phones - I've no idea what to do. Do I just go ahead and download the update and install it, or it's not as easy as that? What if I download the ROM and go ask the guy at the shop to install it for me?
P.S I somehow managed to get to a three-color screen and it said SPL-156.OliNex, if that's any help.
P.P.S With the serial number I have I can only download the new ROM from the Taiwanese website. Will I still be able to install a European ROM on a phone manufactured for Taiwan?
Hi
I've been waiting ages for the T-Mobile UK ROM upgrade for the HD2 but nothing has appeared on the HTC downloads page as yet, even though Vodaphone, Orange and the generic one seems to be available. I get the feeling that T-Mobile won't be releasing the update
Anyway, I've been looking thru the stickies on XDA-Dev and found a ROM update for branded T-Mobile called RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1 which I am now downloading
Is this an unofficial update? Or maybe a pre-release from T-Mobile?
More importantly, is this safe to install? My specs are:
Manila: 2.5.20121429.0
ROM: 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
ROM date: 04/02/10
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol: 15.32.50.07U
I've been hanging around confused on the XDA-Dev forums on and off for the last 6 months or so. I'm pretty apprehensive about installing anything ROM-based for fear of bricking my lovely HD2. I don't wanna get a new one as I'm not even halfway thru my 24-month contract!
Anyway, hope you can help. I hate sounding like such noob. I fix PCs for a living, but this is doing my head in!!
The RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1 is a leaked UK T-Mobile stock ROM.
Don't worry, this rom will not brake your device, I have uploaded these rom sins 2011-01-06 and in the meanwhile it was bean downloaded 293 times without anyone mentioned that thy have a problem.
Hey where to find the download link for T-Mobile Uk rom upgrade
Can you please guide me in this??
Many Thanks in Advance

htc hd2 t mobile with ROM 1.72 GER
hi
i am using hd2 t mobile with rom 1.72 GER......give me any single link to upgrade my rom. plzzzzzz even i want to change my language to english plzzz plzzz.....
I'm hoping some expert can help me out here...
I've been using my HD2 on a 2year contract in the UK using an unlocked phone from the Carphone warehouse, on Orange network...
I cant upgrade until March but just this week my usb charger port is dead...Carphone warehouse took the phone to fix under warranty, but deemed the damage to be outside of the warranty. I didn't have insurance taken out on the phone,so...
I purchased a battery charger to keep me going until March when I can upgrade.
The dilemma I have is that I want to install the latest ROM, as somehow the software was downgraded recently when I had to hard reset. Im happy with the current ROM except that it has the problem of the keypad not working during a casll, making it impossible to listen to voicemail, or use speakerphone etc. I remember this happeniong before, but it fixed during an update from the HTC site.
Is it possible to install new ROMS using sd card? and can someone direct me to a download for the official stock htc ROM for my device.
The details of my device are:
Model HTC HD2 T8585
OS 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manila 2.5.20181527.0
ROM 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
ROM 09/29/10
Radio 2.15.50.14
Protocol 15.42.50.11U
Please someone help me out, I love the phone, but need the update.
Thanks in advance.
Got this resolved with a tweak of BsB Tweaks, all is working as I like it now.
Mods can remove this one now.
