[Q] HTC surround / help me to decide if i have to upgrade a new ROM? or not?... - Surround General

Hello people!
I'm testing this HTC surround i got today.
My questions are 2:
1- does the HTC surround IMPROVES the smooth performance on apps etc when upgrading a ROM? or using a custom one?. ..
2 - Below its my information from the about of the phone, can someone tell me if i "have to" upgrade this versions with a new ROM? ... or its the same and the phone wont change at all these days ....
os version 7.0.7004.0
firmware rev version 2250.09.10307.502
hardware rev version 0003
radio software version 5.51.09.06_22.30.50.09H
radio hardware version A.26.0.D4
Bootloader version 1.3.2250.7(111288)
Chip SOC version 2.2.5.0
I'm asking this because:
i own an iphone4. it works flawlessly and i see some jaggy animations on the HTC surround....
and i own a HTC HD2! with a WP7 ROM! and I THINK IT WORKS BETTER than the original HTC SURROUND ROM that i've from factory ....
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!!!
CHEERS!
Marcelo.

Future ROM updates may increase performance it depends on what kind of fixes they have made.
As for Custom ROM's, a well put together ROM will typically improve performance but decrease in reliability.
Looks like you haven't got the pre-nodo update, its 7008 were yours is 7004. Sync your device with Zune and it will ask you to update.

thanks man! ill try that.

i just tried and the zune software says that my phone is up to date on 7004...
is there a way to make the update manually?

What carrier are u with?
Go to settings in Zune and check for updates. It should just pop up when u plug it in but since its not try that.

rather than using a custom rom , you could go for the nodo update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013610
It improves performance

I would hold off on NoDo the only nice thing abot it is the faster apps and faster marketplace (oh and app searching) but the gains are minimal

Cheesy update method
You can trick your phone into updating, all the way to NoDo if you'd like.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015131
Essentially:
1. Start Zune
2. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone
3. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)
4. Start the update search in Zune
5. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).
6. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.
7. Connect to the internet again and install the update.
Worked great for me.

UPDATED ROM FROM TMobile USA and HTC (Oct. 26, 2010)

I got a text message from TMobile today saying there is new software and new feature improvements for my HD2. I clicked on the website they gave me and here is what the pop up window says,:
" A software upgrade is available for HTC HD2 customers at www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade. Please be aware that after you upgrade the phone It is normal for the device to run slowly and the battery to drain at a higher rate for a short period of time. This is caused by applications that might be performing an initial sync, such as, Outlook or a personal e-mail account, or the device updating applications like weather and location. It may take up to four hours to complete all syncing.Important: Please read the steps on How do I perform a device software upgrade before moving forward. The software update is only designed to update the software version from 2.10.531.1 and 2.13.531.1 to 3.14.531.1.
The upgrade process is easy!
Download the new software to your PC. You will be instructed to enter the 15-digit IMEI number for your device to access the download.
Ensure ActiveSync 4.5 for computers using Windows XP or earlier or use Windows Mobile Device Center for computers using Vista and Windows 7 is installed on your PC. If you have not installed ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, you can install it from your Getting Started CD or download it from the Microsoft website.
Connect your HTC HD2 MR to your computer using the USB Sync Cable that came with the phone.
Establish a connection. You will know this is complete when the ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center icon in your PC taskbar is lit green and the status is "Connected".
Ensure that your T-Mobile HTC HD2 MR has a battery charge that is greater than 50% (two bars).
Remove your MicroSD card from the device if you have one inserted. Do not reinsert the SD card until after the software installation process is complete and the phone is ready to use.
Run the software update program you downloaded to your PC and follow the on-screen commands.
Below is the list of available downloads. Please select the download of your choice.
T-Mobile HD2 MR Software Updates
T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1)"
I'm not sure if the chefs plan on upgrading our roms or what but it's nice to know the HD2 got some love with WP7 on the extremely near horizon.
Just found the other thread. Wow - some people got the text on the 19th and I just got mine. Crazy sucky! Please lock this thread.
No text yet
So i haven't gotten any text from tmob yet so deciced to check and download it. well if anybody is wondering if the one released by tmob is different than the one released two weeks ago are different? the answer is yes. the radio versions are different, as is a few minor things. going to give it a few days to compare the two. the one released two weeks ago was the first time i ever stuck with a stock that long, and now going to give this a try.

Download For: T-Mobile HD2 MR
Download: T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1 )
Date Updated: 9/23/10

Still think its new?
Yeah, I did it but I don't know what's wrong: when I looked for the Software information, and checked the OS version, it's now like this: OS version: 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94). Is it Windows Mobile current version? Did ROM upgrade downgrade Windows version?
I know it might seem stupid, but I am really concerned...
Thanks in advance for help!
No, 21913 is one of the latest we've seen of COM2 line. If you had cooked one before then you had some bigger number probably, due to different branch...
What about Abroad Tmob devices ??
Guyys .., I'm Using a Tmob HD2 in Srilanka. Got it unlocked and using it. I've got one of those 17 digit IMEI's and ROM version of 2.13.

The file is too large to post here. Check the development Forums for links to the stock ROMs. But it is really easiest and safest to go to HTC, enter your IMEI, and get the right ROM from them.

AFAIK, you keep the unlock, BUT before you flash any ROM, query its author.
what you mean with AFAIK ? ... and is there any IMPROVED ROM for HTC surround yet?. thanks!
There is no custom ROM's for the Surround.

AFAIK is short for "As Far As I Know"
You should check Ansar's posts for new ROMs. You can start here.
You don't need to flash a new ROM to get OS updates. All updates come through Zune, you might need to unbrand your device in order to get the updates (this requires you to "developer unlock" your phone, check this thread for unlocking.)
Have fun!

Sry if asking a stupid question but is this the official tmous rom. because my comp did not save my backup and im ready to run from mango back to nodo so is it safe to flash this rom on any tmous hd7.
Can this be installed if you are running Mango Beta?

Only Zune is able to backup your things. This is a updated ROM, not and update from Zune, so it will wipe everything you have on your device.
Unfortunatly, Microsoft did not developed yet a way to backup your apps + data.

I will try this and let you know. Probably yes, but you will loose your Mango and the everything else on device.

Probably if you're using Mango, you're running Zune Beta Client.
I had Mango and the regular Zune Software on my machine and the updater didn't recognize my device. I entered in USB Mode and everything went fine.
Ofcourse, all the phone was wiped.
Things I realized 'til now:
1 - The performance seems better than the previous NoDo update;
2 - EDGE icon now shows 2G;
3 - There are more languages even for keyboard and the display (cool!!!);
4 - Wifi seems to be 'smarter' and 'faster'. Took less time to connect than before;
Can't tell about the battery life yet.
I'm yet thinking in upgrade to Mango Beta since probably we will have news about RTM update soon.

I just went ahead and rolled back to nodo and did the update over Zune. Here's what I've noticed.
1. As mentioned above edge is replaced with 2G icon.
2. Signal strength is much improved. Thanks HTC.
3. FM radio reception is much improved.
4. The pink tint issue with the camera is fixed.
5. Camera takes much better photos now. Not getting all the blurriness anymore.
6. WiFi connects much faster.
7. Interface is much smoother/faster. Who would have thought that was possible since the interface was already pretty fast.
8. Speaker volume improved.
I'll be testing the battery life today but I've read others saying that the battery life is also improved. Will be testing bluetooth today also. I had issues where mp3s would actually skip over bluetooth and streaming audio would come across slow like a record on the wrong speed. Nice job HTC.
Is there any way to just flash the radio and not the OS image? I want to update my hd7 but im running the mango rtm.
Thanks, downloading now. I'm going to save this one as a last resort just in case my pre-Mango backup doesn't work right.

Make sure your running Zune 4.8 go into your settings to check if it begins with 4.8 your good if not you have to download the the package its around 258mb's.
I was running the mango beta 2 so I just rolled back to NoDo, let Zune install the HTC update, then did the procedure for installing mango beta 2 again and got mango 7712 instead. NICE!!! I feel like I have a new phone.

RTM is 7720, what you are talking about is 7712, which was released for developers yesterday. 7712 is sort of a final RC, which Microsoft deemed to be "good enough" for developers to use to begin testing their software for release.
Anyone know if this contains the latest HTC update for the phone? Or is this a newer radio or something?

I've got I8700XXKK1 in my phone now!!!

Hi everybody,
I just received an official install from Zune. Now I've got:
PDA: i8700XXKK1
Phone: i8700XXKI1
CSC: i8700XECKK1
In numbers:
OS Version: 7.10.7720.68
PDA Firmware: 2424.11.11.1
PDA hardware revision: 3.15.0.4
Phone Firmware: 2424.11.9.1
Phone hardware version: 0.0.0.800
Bootloader: 5.11.0.3
And... yes. I've got Internet Sharing available.
Now waiting for the last Microsoft update to fix exchange troubles. (7740)
Another thing. My phone is unlocked by official ChevronWP7 Labs and interop-unlocked. All these are kept without troubles after update.
Great news!
Hi, any improvements?
Is your device banded or not?
What is your carrier?
Better yet, if you have unlocked your phone, check the value here:
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOpe rator="Your carrier name should be here"

Well. My phone is from Movistar Spain carrier and it's factory unlocked & unbranded. The original string in MobileOperator is "FON-ES".
Because as Movistar ever has been the last in all updates, from 7004 version, I had "000-88" at the registry to be able receive all updates until Mango. Today I read that Movistar was deploying Mango update, and only for test I tried putting again the original string at the registry and "voilá", I received an update from Samsung with those results.
The last week with 000-88 I received a little update form Samsung putting my firmware from 2424.11.8.5 to 2424.11.8.9, but nothing more. I didnt receive the second part.
It's soon to say something about improvements. In a couple of days, I'll put comments about this. I hope battery had been improved, because with Mango I had to disable a lot of push notifications to save battery.
Thanks for your reply. Yes please report back with your findings regarding battery usage, and reception/wifi problems if you had that.
YES!!! I can confirm that I'm running on latest OS version 7.10.7740.16
and latest firmware / radio / bootloader 2424.11.11.1 / 2424.11.9.1 / 5.11.0.3
I had stucked to the KI3 SFR-FR fw update (via WP7 cab sender) and I could not update via Zune (or WP7 cab sender) to the latest firmwares (via Regedit of OperatorName, KI4 and so on). Even the OS update to 7740.16 failed via Zune.
So those stuck on SFR-FR, flash 7740.16 cab with WP7 cab sender, change your regisrty HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/Platform/DeviceTargetingInfo/MobileOperator/ to FON-ES and update via Zune.
PubERB thanks for the heads up for this update. If you want you can try WP7 cab sender and get the newest cab for the os to get the 7740.16 os version.

Did this firmware update, fix the stupid color banding?
I haven't experienced the 16bit banding issue since NoDo. After the Mango update, throughout the os, e.g. lock-screen wallpaper, I see no banding except for some 3rd party apps. I'm not quite sure though if it is because I carried the registry fix-hack over Mango, I can't recall if I updated with the hack activated. But I don't have any red screens. If you would tell me where to look for banding, I'll let you know (I'll check the registry as well to see if there are edits)

I've had the banding, even before NoDo. The only place where I don't have any banding is in a zoomed picture...
It is really annoying, you can't really watch videos because it looks disorted.
I have my phone Interpop unlocked, and the editing in registry doesn't work..
I don't really care if I have the banding on the lockscreen, or in Internet Explorer, I just can't bear it in Zune..

I did exactly the same changed from 000-88 to FON-ES MobileOperator in Registry and now I have firmware / radio / bootloader 2424.11.11.1 / 2424.11.9.1 / 5.11.0.3 and Internet Sharing
Hmm, I've got 7740 and the updates that give me Internet Sharing but my Firmware and Bootloader version numbers are older than that :-S
Mine is a German T-mobile phone.

Same troubles with BOTH WIFI AND 3G ON. Even the newest FW 2424.11.11.1 for FON-ES doesn´t help. IE9 uploads (3G OFF) became faster but the problem persists.
I also suspected Interop-Unlock from the wifi malfunction and applied the new Heatcliff77´s Samsung Repair 3G.xap afterwards. That worked for my Omnia 7 and is worth of try.
i try it yesterday...very nice firmware and allshare working with it...but i went back to 2424.11.9.2 because everytime when i turn internet sharing on and then off my data connection not work..what helps is to turn wifi off and again on then it works again....but thats a bad solution 4 me....i think wait 4 sausung is now the best think ...hopfully they update the non branded omnia 7 with new firmware...
I have an unlocked Omnia 7 - btw of German origin - and do not experience any problems after sharing the internet. Phone restores its wifi/3G connection smoothly on 2424.11.11.1 firmware. A forced installation of wifi hotspot was made before upgrading to 24.24.11.1, however.
Ok...how do u enable tethering...with diag mode or with the xap from here?

Well. After several days from my update, I had to say that all my troubles are gone now.
-Better battery life.
-AllShare runs ok now.
-Internet sharing works without troubles.
-Compass very accurate.
-Smoother interface.
Nothing to say about 16bits banding. I can't see it. I know is disabled by default due to battery saving, but 32 bits can be activated by the applications when they need it, for example by picture editors.
I'm not hurry with 7740 update. I can wait for it.

I'm not sure, but I think you can activate 32 bits touching the registry. Maybe not with this update, but you could try.

[Q] no radio version showing up

I first want to say thank you to xda-developers for such a great site. I have been on here reading for 2 weeks now and decided I finally need help. I recently bought me an HTC HD2 Euro version (all white home keys). I proceeded to set it up to dual boot Windows 7.5 and ICS. I was successful thanks to everything I read here and watched on "Youtube".
Well, I was partially successful that is. I have had 4 different WP7 roms and one ICS/sd rom.
All the WP7 roms installed with no hitches as did the ICS and all opened up successfully.
Here is where I need some help with all 4 WP7 roms I get no T-mobile data and no mms messages. I really need my data to work. I get everything except "mms" to work with wifi; IE, xbox live, and the market.
I currently have WP7 rom "HD2O_2.02_8779" installed.
Phone Info:
Name: HTC HD7 T9292
Model: HTC HD7 T9292
Software: Windows*Phone 7.5
Total Storage: 7.20 GB
Available storage: 6.88
OS version: 7.10.8779.8
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.07491.HD2O
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version number:5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.0
Bootloader version: 0.96.2250.0
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
When I setup "CustomRUU" to check the radio version and maybe flash a different radio, no current radio shows up. So my first question is,
Is it possible to not have a radio installed at all?
And if this is true is that why I can't get my data to work?
I have reset my phone.
I have turned my data off and on.
I have used "Connection Setup" at least 3 times on just this rom.
I have used wifi.
I currently do not have an ICS rom on my data card because I want to wait until I get WP7 working properly first. I already fried one 16GB class 10 sd card that is why I am using an 8GB sd card now. So if anyone can help answer my questions I would so grateful. Thanks in advance.

I first want to say thank you to xda-developers for such a great site. I have been on here reading for 2 weeks now and decided I finally need help. I recently bought me an HTC HD2 Euro version (all white home keys). I proceeded to set it up to dual boot Windows 7.5 and ICS. I was successful thanks to everything I read here and watched on "Youtube".
Well, I was partially successful that is. I have had 4 different WP7 roms and one ICS/sd rom.
All the WP7 roms installed with no hitches as did the ICS and all opened up successfully.
Here is where I need some help with all 4 WP7 roms I get no T-mobile data and no mms messages. I really need my data to work. I get everything except "mms" to work with wifi; IE, xbox live, and the market.
I currently have WP7 rom "HD2O_2.02_8779" installed.
Phone Info:
Name: HTC HD7 T9292
Model: HTC HD7 T9292
Software: Windows*Phone 7.5
Total Storage: 7.20 GB
Available storage: 6.88
OS version: 7.10.8779.8
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.07491.HD2O
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version number:5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.0
Bootloader version: 0.96.2250.0
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
When I setup "CustomRUU" to check the radio version and maybe flash a different radio, no current radio shows up. So my first question is,
Is it possible to not have a radio installed at all?
And if this is true is that why I can't get my data to work?
I have reset my phone.
I have turned my data off and on.
I have used "Connection Setup" at least 3 times on just this rom.
I have used wifi.
I currently do not have an ICS rom on my data card because I want to wait until I get WP7 working properly first. I already fried one 16GB class 10 sd card that is why I am using an 8GB sd card now. So if anyone can help answer my questions I would so grateful. Thanks in advance.

Did you download connection setup from the market or using the preloaded one?
Did you try manual selection in connection setup?
Do you have data connection on in settings?
Try manually selecting Network in.settngs.
Soft Radio for TMOUS is 5.51T.09.29a.22.32.50.10U...that is what I have on my phone running BTTF. The 5.51T is for the U.S. You didn't specify what region you reside so I'm assuming U.S. based on your English or maybe British.
Hardware radio is A.12.0.D4 which is 2.15.xx.xx version in my signature.
Anyway, you should see a hardware radio version. Otherwise, you should flash the appropriate hardware radio.
There are threads telling how to rescue locked sd cards.
still no data, no radio showing up
1. I used the preloaded connection setup.
2. Yes, I did the manual selection.
3. Yes, as I stated I have turned data on and off trying to get it to work.
4. Yes, I manually selected T-mobile in "Cellular"
Well I want to make sure I choose the correct radio for an HTC HD2, the europe model not the T-mobile model with red and green buttons. Mine has white buttons.
I also have the radio set to -region: North America.
and yes I am in the US in Florida using T-mobile as my service provider

I suggest you post your question in HD2O's rom thread and specify which country you're located and the fact you are using the European model. People using the rom should be able to give more help.
still no data, no radio showing up in CustumRUU.exe
Well I would put this in the phone development section but it says all questions belong here in the Q&A section, so i don't want to ruffle feathers and get flamed for not following the rules so I'll just leave it here for now. Maybe a mod could move it if he thinks it belongs there. I am going to wait until morning to continue working on this problem, I'm too tired to anything now. Don't want to make a sleepy mistake and brick my phone. Thanks.

well your question is specific to a rom and people post questions in development all the time...esp specifically related to a particular rom.
no radio showing up, low sound
Well I finally made it back a couple hours ago and I have been reading ever since. I tried to post this in the rom section but because I don't have 10 posts I can't and no one else has responded.
Since I left early in the morning (about 3am) I tried my phone and found I have almost no sound coming from it. It could be the radio but I also have read many of these roms have sound volume problems and they have a fix for it. I think I am going to try flashing a radio and see what happens. What ever I do I will post back here.
I just installed 2 different radios and nothing shows up in the settings phone radio section. It still has 0.0.0.0 for a radio. Think I'm going to install a different rom and see what happens.
new rom still no data on t-mobile usa
I installed a new rom hoping this would help my data and radio problems.

data works with ICS on sd card
I decided to go ahead and install an ICS rom on an sd card and see if I get data and mms messages with it. I decided to use "NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA-SD_v2.3" and within a few minutes it was up and running. To my happiness all my data works including mms messages. In fact I did not find anything that did not work, even live wallpapers and this is on an sd card. Another great job by the members here at xda-developers.
Back to facory Windows Mobile 6.5 rom
Still trying to get this phone to work with Windows Phone 7. I tried going the task 29 route and then installing Windows 7 rom but that did not help to get any data on my phone from T-mobile in the USA so I went and studied how to take it all the way back to a stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom and was successful. I have data on the phone but I can't get mms messages to work on it, but that is still better than what I have been able to do with WP7.
I got the rom right from HTC.com "RUU_Leo_S_TMO_HR_3.14.119.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship". Notice that it has the same radio 2.15.50.14 as what most people recommend to use with WM7 roms. I used this Video on youtube for directions
"How to Turn your HTC HD2 back to Factory"
I have not given up on this and will continue tomorrow.

HTC HD2 Leo stock 6.5 rom, not HTC Hd2 Tmous
First I want to thank for being the only one responding to my thread and posts as I have posted in another thread too. I am sincere when I say that. I really liked what you said in the thread you sent me to, that you would explain how to do something unlike others here. That means a lot to people who are asking for help.
I think there are too many people in forums who forget what it feels like to be a noob at anything. I am a member at many forums going way back to modding Motorola Razors, flashing Dishnet boxes before they locked us out, fixing red ring of death Xboxes and so on. So sir, I really do appreciate those who are here to help not just flame those asking for help.
Now back to the topic. I used that rom from HTC.com/europe because I have an HTC HD2 euro version not the HTC Tmous phone. Mine has the all white buttons and I wasn't sure if I could flash the T-mobile Windows Mobile 6.5 stock rom. As this phone is only 3-4 weeks old I am trying hard not to brick it. That is why I have spent 12 hrs a day for the past 3-4 days doing nothing but reading this site.
here is the link to the stock Window Mobile 6.5 rom for the Europe version.
http://www.htc.com/europe/help/htc-hd2/#download
If you know whether I can use the T-mobile stock rom in my HTC HD2 Leo then maybe I will try it. I am also going to try the unbranded stock rom from the same link as they have one for both T-mobile and not T-mobile if that makes sense to you. Trying not to be confusing.
if you read that radio thread, they say it can be used on the European hd2. and yes, i know you have the european hd2.
finally got mms messages with stock WM 6.5
For my latest trial I downloaded and installed the WWE (World Wide English) stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom that HTC.com/europe has. Here is the name of the second rom.
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
Here is the name of the 1st stock rom that I tried and mms messages never worked. The first set of numbers are different. Not sure what they stand for.
RUU_Leo_S_TMO_HR_3.14.119.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
Here is the link if anyone needs it.
http://www.htc.com/europe/help/htc-hd2/#download
This is the first rom I have installed that gives me data and mms messages. So now I know that this hardware radio works with t-mobile USA network (in Miami). I just need to find the correct software radio for Windows Phone 7 and I will be as happy as can be. I might even try T-mobiles stock rom today also.
still testing with mixed results.
I am back on Windows 7.5 now using pdaimatejam rom. I replaced his original software radio with 5.51t.09.29a_22.32.50.10u and also with 5.51.09.11a_22.31.40.09u. I got excited because these both gave me data but after a few minutes my data quit working. Neither allowed me to send or receive mms messages. I am still testing and will give any updates or results I come up with. What is odd is I am using the same Hardware radio 2.15.50.14 that is in the stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom that let me have data and mms messages.
Just a quick update, I tried the Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki][Updatable] rom and did not have any better luck. Still same 0.0.0.0 radio and no data or mms. I did have some fun installing the rom. Learned a lot about installing cabs and such. I usually get an error when I install the HTC connection app but not with this rom. I don't think the app is helping do anything from what I can tell. Going to try adifferent rom tomorrow to see if I have any better luck.
tried another rom, same results
I flashed this rom yesterday.
RUU_LEO_HTC_Europe_5.12.401.01_Radio_5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U_NT_Tango_8773_3La_V3_by_ansar
I still get the 0.0.0.0 radio and no data or mms. I also flashed a couple different hardware radios after I installed the rom, but still got the same results. I think I am going to change the software radio in the rom and then flash it again and see if it makes a difference.
