[Q] Which Official Rom for my HD2? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear Experts!
I am in need of your urgent attention. My EU leo's touch screen got out of function while using andriod NAND.
Now I had to send it to claim warranty and for that i need official win mo 6.5 in it. I gone through many threads and tried some official rooms too but it says 00028002 NOT ALLOWED...
My S/N is SH08PNW01121
P/N is 99HJY032-00
I just need a working official rom(Any version) for my HD2 so that i can send it for repair.
Kindly spare sometime and guide me.
I shall feel humbled....

Is there anybody to help me out???

drusmaan, it that a bid deal to download official rom? It's no need to be a big "expert" - RTFM is more than enough
Go to the HTC correspondent site and download software update via inserting your IMEI number.
If you are sure that you have European model than - do it with Euro web site.
First - check your IMEI here: http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr to be sure about the phone origin.

HTC website not providing ROMs for HD2

Dear AndrewSh... Thanks for your reply.
I used your link and it confirmed that its a EU HD2
Est. Date of Range Issuance Around Q1 2010
Reporting Body British Approvals Board of Telecommunications (BABT)
Primary Market Europe
Legal Basis for Allocation EU R&TTE Directive
...
I checked on the HTC website for a rom download but couldnt find any rom to download.
Can you plz look into it and provide me the link...? I think HTC website is not providing roms for HD2 anymore... Sorry m new to this stuff so taking your time on guidance for small things...
Anxiously waiting for your reply as i have to ship it back for repair at earliest.

That's unbranded European rom I suppose

Link - works!
drusmaan, dunno what is wrong with your attempts to get rid of Android
I just gave you the link to Euro rom
If you have problems to flash it - you would read the forum - there is a lot of instructions, for example here:

Several questions about unlocking/upgrading

I'm new to the TYTN and I have a few questions.
Just to note, my device is by Orange-Israel. It has the QTEK_001 CID.
1. If I want only to sim-unlock the device (without installing HardSPL on it or changing anything that will void the warranty, how do I do that?
2. Where can I find the exact change log for any ROM version? I mean, I'd like to know what each version gives my BEFORE I upgrade to it.
3. As my CID is QTEK_001, I understand that I can install all of the HTC WWE versions. why can I find any upgrades on HTC website?
4. If all I want is to install the official HTC versions, why do I need to install the SSPL/HARDSPL (I dont want to install, yet, any cooked/baked ROMs)?
Thanks
Please people, help me out:
How do I unlock the phone without installaing any hacked SPLs?
and where do I get the OFFICIAL HTC updates?

Call your service provider and tell them you need to unlock your phone. Then you won't effect your warranty.
You can't be serious about where to d/l official updates. :-/
From the Official Website!
Also the link below helps me to find answers to a lot lf my questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893
Maybe there isn't any official updates yet for Orange-Israel.
I can't help you look right now because I only have my 8525 right now. Maybe tomorrow, when I'm in front of a desktop, I'll see if I can find something.
Heya
Please understand this forum is NOT official support
(however the quality here is probably better )
http://www.orange.co.il/ (your provider)
and
http://www.mea.htc.com/
are probably the best places to ask for rom upgrades.
Good luck

Thanks for your answer.
First, Orange Israel WONT unlock my phone till I finish paying for it (which is 3 more years to go).
Also, they DONT have any updates availble at the moment. But their version is VERY old....
On the HTC website I cant find the ROM updates anywhere.... please send me a link to the ROM updates on HTC website.
Also, do you know where can I get more details about what changed in each version?
Please, if you could please be so kind to read:

New ROM on HTC E-Club

Greetings all,
I've discovered a new ROM on HTC's E-Club site, but when I try to install it on my device, I get an Error 294 "Invalid Vender ID". My Touch Dual was bought SIM-Free and unlocked, and is not branded to any provider.
The only reason I can think of for this not working is that the filename (HTC_P5520_WWE-ME_1.31.456.09__1.58.16.27_Ship.exe) starts with P5520. I believe this is the 20-key version, whilst mine is the 16-key one. I did send a message to HTC through their site last week, but haven't had any reply from them, so thought I'd ask here.
Should this ROM work with my device (has anyone tried it?), or is it just purely for the 20-key version? It says it's a higher version than what I've got right now, and the RUU puts the device in the mode for updating itself, it just fails as soon as it hits 1%.
Thanks for any input.
where's this rom?? I can't find that... if I go in e-club, download and software I can't make no choice..
The site only seems to display updates that are relevant to your device, because when you register on the site you have to enter your serial number.
Mine's a UK 16-key model, as far as I know!
That's why I don't really get why it's let me download a file that appears to be for the wrong model (for a P5520 when I've got a P5500)
pls share
Can u pls share the ROM?
but u are right.
The P5520 is for the 20 Key version.
look here

I have the 20 key version but when I click in the page I see " Select your PDA phone or smartphone model from the list. If your registered product is not listed, please check back next time as new patches are added regularly. " but then no list..
there is a link to this rom at following thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374231
ow. I see. You'll only see the rom on the webpage if you have a WWE or Arabic phone. Just wait 'till they release a ROM in your language.
Mods: someone should merge these two threads?
ah ok..thanks

New ROM for T-Mobile (1.33.110.2)

Just checked the HTC website and I've just discovered a new ROM for T-Mobile(uk?) users was uploaded yesterday
Version 1.33.110.2
Luckily for me I'm a t-mobile user, but I havnt noticed anyone talking about a 1.30+ rom yet
EDIT: AS somebody already asked and DID NOT READ TWO POSTS BELOW i'm quoting myself here:
Just to note:
The site mentions a new ROM update for your HTC HD2...
I confirm this is for your Touch2/Mega/T3333. It's pretty snappy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ALSO note that this is for T-Mobile UK branded Mega's ONLY
(you could try using it, but dont complain when your GPRS/mms/etc settings are preconfigured for T-mobile!!)
Thanks for this.. looks like the crappy T Mobile release is the best we can hope for. At least YouTube gets its own application, so I don't get the "Finding Network..." error when loading videos from IE
yeah it looks alot better than the last one i downloaded.
Just to note:
The site mentions a new ROM update for your HTC HD2...
I confirm this is for your Touch2/Mega/T3333. It's pretty snappy
T Mobile must have paid millions for HTC to lock the Mega with them, this is a really nice phone, especially if you don't want to carry a laptop sized thing (HD2) with you
Why can't they make a single ROM with no branding on it (or at least don't block changing the ROM)
... If anything, seeing the bloody T Mobile thing on start up makes me less likely to switch to them, and go to Virgin or stay with O2.
Thanx guys, its something until we get cooked roms, wow
Erm, nid help! why i cant download it? they ask me for S/N and i typed in but they say this software is not suitable for you device. my phone is HTC Touch2 T3333
Is it a T-Mobile one? Or not? The phone must be a T-Mobile UK one, you must select United Kingdom in their site and voila.
same here...
I'm not from UK but I'm sure it will work in my device. Can someone upload it please?
Lot of thanks.....
I hope the HTc donĀ“t forget the rest of us....

It is, but only for UK T-Mobile branded phones. Its not for every HTC Mega.
Brands?
I have no Idea about the other brands... My phone was originally in Italian then I was able to Flash it with an WWE Rom.. I don't think that I won't be able to reflash it with the latest rom version released by the other providers...

Then my friend you have not branded mobile phone. That means you must put only WWE updates, this update is only for T-Mobile Phones from UK, when you swich on/off the phone you see T-Mobile, now did you get that this is not for you, wait for the 1.33 WWE version.

[Q] I Can't find The Suitable Region for my HD2 Manila Verion for ROM UPGRADE

I have a HD2 phone with these software specs out of the box:
Manila Version ( 2.5.192xxx ),
ROM Verion (1.43.405 xxx) WWE (70124)
Radio Ver ( 2.04 xxx)
I have been searching for a suitable ROM in htc official site to Upgrade my ROM, but no matter how much I tried, I only get this:
"This software is not suitable for your phone"
I checked my IMEI in https://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr and my phone turned out to be originated from Europe. But I get the same sentence when I tried Europe countries in htc official website.
Can someone kindly shed a light on this?
Thanks fellas
P.S
TBH, I don't see any similarity between my phone OS interface and that of people who have hd 2 Manila version ( from youtube ). Isn't it strange?
probably a branded device sir

You can use the GoldCard technique. (I know it works, but don't have experience with it)
Wow very original (initial ROM)....
Looks like you have an UK ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9105826&postcount=1. So you could try the UK HTC Site.
Have you checked if you have an Operator logo at startup? If so, go to the Operators website, maybe the posted the ROM over there.
You must also check your SPL at bootup and report it over here.
HSPL your HD2 then it doesn't matter WHERE your phone is from. As long as its not a t-mobile phone which has more RAM/ROM than normal you can flash any HD2 rom you want...

Sorry for SPL you have to enter BootLoader (press and hold volume-down when booting the device), but don't bother, cause if I read one of your prev posts, you don't have HSLP installed.
You could also contact HTC Support, maybe they can help you finding your upgrade. Cause you have an ancient ROM on your HD2. I believe for all HD2 devices (even branded) there has to be at least an 1.66... or 1.72... ROM available.
Btw. You don't have an Operator logo somewhere at startup, it's all HTC logo's???

I forgot to mention that I finally found a ROM upgrade for my phone from htc TAIWAN website, downloaded and installed it. Apparently my phone origin is Taiwan. And now the language of my phone became Taiwanese. The question is that how my TAIWANESE phone had English language on it if it was not HSPL'ed? ( Actually I didn't check the Bootloader BEFORE upgrading my phone, but I believe if my phone had been HSPL'ed, the word HSPL would be seen in bootloader even AFTER Rom upgrading, right?
Is it possible that a Taiwanese phone has English language on it out of factory?

No, it's all HTC.
Read ALL the previous replies. Told OPTUS that I could not get the Win6.5 ROM upgrade from HTC, launched a week ago. They told me to give them the IMEI (above the serial number).
The operator then told me that I needed to download from the South African HTC site, since that's where my ex-Telstra phone came from. But that site seems off-line at this moment.

perhaps you could look here:

[Q] Strange Serial Number?

Good morning my LEO fiends!
I have a question related to my S/N.
So, does anybody know from which country is the S/N starting with SH?
I bouth my LEO from AMAZON through an APO. The problem is that if I want to download the ROM from HTC Official Site, there is written "it doesn't fit to your phone". Why? The flash rom size is also 500 mb, so maybe it si not to T-MOUS model. Con you help me?
Thanks!!!!

It is quite difficult, on the basis of your S/N to indicate your Aria.
But if you would know it for 100% you can contact HTC about this.
But witch is your Stock ROM version that you have fore the moment?
Becous the x.xx.XXX.x (bold section) can tell you easily from witch aria your device is coming from.
I have HD2 with "SH..." serial number.
It is bought in Croatia (t-mobile hr - totally unbranded- IT IS NOT TMOUS model). You can find rom updates (web sites recognized ser. number) on HTC Germany web page.
I have seen thorugh IMEI and I realized it comes from UK, although bought in USA. Anyway, I cannot find an Official update

Maybe it's a branded device.
My serial also begins with SH. I'm in the uk on t-mob (as you can see on the right) and when I got my phone replaced on my insurance I was sent a new unbranded device with what I figured was German, when trying to update my rom the only look i had was on the German htc page, so I'm guessing your answer lies there.
If you want a specific operator rom there's threads in the HD2 Rom Development section, I'm sure you can flash one of those if you put it into bootloader, all I tend to do.
