I tried to cheat and use a different S/N too, but after 1% downloaded, it said that the update was not for your PDA. What is going on? Anyone knows how to go around it? I tried the HTC Europe S/N.

Thanks
[Touch HD General] Koffein Schluck:
Ok... Read enough about it.

Not worth it to be called a new ROM.

No app updates. No new manila. Some fixes... nothing more.
[Touch HD General] eyeofthetiger:
I am based in uk and tried to download the ROM. I typed in the correct S/N but it wont accept it(i have a contract with orange and purchased 2 months ago). Can someone suggest how I go round this or if they have a correct S/N I can use, please help.

Thanks
[Touch HD General] mike_dangerous:
How many times have you tried? I typed in my S/N and it didn't work first time but it worked after a couple of tries and I don't think I got it wrong.

I haven't even switched on my HD yet, its still charging for the first time. Do I actually need to have switched it on properly before I update, or can I go straight into updating it?
[Touch HD General] eyeofthetiger:
I get the message the software download is not suitable for your device.

I would have thought this ROM would be an upgrade and not a downgrade. still confused:confused:
[Touch HD General] stefanjadex:
Update downloaded

Hi everybody.

I just want to let you know that I was downloaded the new rom without any problems. I bought my HD from Romania (Vodafone).

The link is http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533

I didn't installed it yet, but if I'll have the time, I'll do it during the weekend.

I wonder if it will wipe me up my operator settings.

Does anybody have done the upgrade? The operator settings will be found after?

Or, does anybody know how to extract the provider settings personalization package (cab) that install itself after a hard reset? I've hear that there is a way to transfer the entire memory of the phone on your pc. How?

Best regards to you all.

Stefan

I have installed the new rom and it was quite quick I backed up all of my contacts and messages using Pim backup and everything was reinstalled within 15 minutes after the install. I have not noticed any improvements but was hoping that iplayer would work over the data connection but it still asks for wifi. GPS locks much quicker than before. I will have to play around with it for longer to see if anything else has been improved. But this does give hope to an update to the new manila and 6.5 in the future.
[Touch HD General] WaveyKat:
what Iplayer? i didnt get any iplayer with my ROM update
[Touch HD General] acidflash:
Hi

If you have purchased your Touch HD through a carrier such as Orange you will not be able to download the new firmware via HTC's homepage. You either have to find someone who has already posted it (see the firmware and developers forum), and you need to SID unlock your phone. Be warned that either thing could potentially brick your phone. Alternatively wait until your carrier posts their version of the updated ROM. Carriers are normally 1-2 months behind HTC with updates (T-Mobile usually a lot longer).

Hope this helpes...

Restoring data with Spb backup

Hi,

Is it possible to backup the HD with SPB Backup, then flashing the HD and

restoring the data with SPB ?

Daniel
[Touch HD General] _Fly_:
Hi,

I have a HD TMN (portuguese), anda i have made the rom download with no problems...
[Touch HD General] Reitsy:
Update went perfectly on my UK sourced generic Touch HD

Here's what I have noticed so far:

1) the Java client works much better. Apps which used to have really tiny fonts now work fine.

2) Seems to have the slider fix built in as it works fine.

3) Activesync doesn't seem to run in the backgrond the whole time

4) Albums are still ordered incorrectly in the Music Player

5) iplayer only works over Wifi

Will check to see if any of the issues below, which I used to suffer from, have gone with this ROM over the next few days:

- Audio stutter

- Dropped calls if I have HSDPA turned on

- Bluetooth disconnecting issues and the phonebook on my dashboard saying "Please Wait" when connected to my Audi's Car Kit.

Not sure whether I still need to run the SD tuneup fix and the settings delivered by HD Tweak. Will see if these apps get updated before I use them.

More later.

Help ROM installation is not working

I tried installing this ROM. I keep getting a message saying the application is not valid for pocket pcs. Pls keep in mind I'm a newbie, fairly certain I'm doing something wrong. I'm on Orange france (but my touch hd was purchased unblocked)
[Touch HD General] drabisan:
By operator setting you mean MMS settings? New ROM does know about Vodafone Romania and your MMS will continue to work after upgrade.

Also it does know about Internet settings.
[Touch HD General] X5 E70:
My Touch HD has ORANGE logo and when i input my S/N on the HTC web site there is a message that this software is not for my device.

Please help ...
[Touch HD General] Reitsy:
This ROM is only for people who bought an unlocked, unbranded and uncustomised Touch HD usually from a shop instead of from a mobile carrier.

Mobile carriers take a few months (assuming they can be bothered) to bring out an updated ROM.
[Touch HD General] X5 E70:
Ok, but is possible to remove/change ORANGE ROM with another (not official) and after that to use official ftom the HTC web site?
[Touch HD General] Bilbo Fraggins:
Would an Orange branded ROM upgrade be made available through HTC or Orange?

I know on previous Nokias I've had, the upgrade has been through Nokia but HTC is all new territory to me...
[Touch HD General] Elodie:
I have try the new rom for my french HD and I go back to the OLINEX 1.14 (no phone, bad graphics, big lag to launch every program, problems with TF3D, and I have to touch the screen with a hammer to have a response).

I'm a little bit disappointed.:mad:
[Touch HD General] ronio:
same ...

Same as Elodie.

It's SFR Brand HTC TOUCH HD PHONE :

no phone, bad graphics, big lag to launch every program, problems with TF3D, and I have to touch the screen with a hammer to have a response

Wich ROM could I take now ? :) The best one ?
[Touch HD General] PJMDS:
Put the original SPL and reflash with the new ROM, the new ROM is good at least for me.

[Touch HD General] tombrown29:
Hi,

I have the french version of HTC HD. I installed the new ROM (04/07/09 EU) 2 days ago. After these 2 days I re-installed the old ROM (1.14.406.3).

The only change I've noticed in the new ROM is a little faster GPS fix but I noticed many problems with this new ROM:

- After a soft reset sometime the clock goes wrong, you have to adjust the time manually or connect to PC with activsync.

- I use Garmin XT, sometimes with the new ROM there is no GPS signal, you have to do many soft reset or disable and enable again the GPS in Garmin to let it work again.

I went back to the older ROM and everythng is working perfectly !
[Touch HD General] Mittaa:
Resco backup

Hi

Same Q here ...

Would a ROM update wipe all my applications, settings and tweaks?

I use Resco Backup to make full system backup incl. applications, Windows/Manila, contacts etc.

What is possible to restore after ROM update?

And more important ...what do I have to avoid restoring in order not to corrupt newly updated systemfiles and applications!?

SMS, mail and contacts I don't care that much about ... but it would take me many hours to reinstall my programs, settings and tweaks !!!

Mittaa (ROM 1.14.403 DAN)
[Touch HD General] drbf:
I am going to try with Sprite, SPB has too many errors on my backups
[Touch HD General] Danielfr:
I don't think that you can do it with Sprite. Spb has a special feature

to force a ROM update but Sprite doesn't have it.

The errors you are encountering with SPB are not important - when I make a backup I have also many errors -and don't let you to restore your device.

Daniel
[Touch HD General] drbf:
Yes, I have SPB as well

Thanks
[Touch HD General] araje:
Sprite has a ROM upgrade feature as well, I nevver got a chance to try it, Now i can put the feature to test.

if i need to go back to my old rom, will this rom allow me to downgrade?
[Touch HD General] drbf:
Please let us know if it works, Thanks
[Touch HD General] Mr.Wolf:
It looks like audio stutter is solved. I've being listening to mp3 for some hours, without any stutter :)

[Touch HD General] luckyuser:
ROM-update by SD-card flash possible?

I also want this new ROM-update:

I would like to do it with SD-card flash! I done this before with my Hermes and that worked great!

But I won't install another SPL, like USPL or HSPL!

1. On my Touch HD is the original HD_NL shipped ROM and original SPL.

in boatloadermode i get following info:

SPL-1.14.0000

MicroP-Blackstone

(LED) v6

2. I downloaded de NL_ROM Update from HTC with my own device serialnr.

3.Is it possible to flash this ROM_update with the SD_Card procedure like I did with my Hermes?

procedure: rename extracted file RUU_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh, put it in the root of a FAT 32 formatted SD-Card, keep the Touch HD in boatloadermode and flash!?

4. Can I also flash back to the original ROM with this method/procedure?

Somebody any experience with this way of upgrading?
[Touch HD General] Georgeous2008:
Just wondering, but what would be the advantage of such an installation procedure, compared to the standard one which only takes 10 minutes over WMDC ?
[Touch HD General] trice1921:
Well for me, a mac user, it's easier to do an SD card rom update than having to find a windows machine.
[Touch HD General] hmoroni:
I've installed it with the cheated S/N.

I've already messed it up with the annoing green screen.

Have re-installed it. And now I can say that this ROM seems to be faster than the other.

GPS is quicker...HDSPA is also quicker to connect and faster to navigate.

I'm very happy with this ROM.
[Touch HD General] drbf:
Any change in the GPS lag?
[Touch HD General] bford:
Not as far as I can see.
[Touch HD General] BANE:
Rom Update

well, I updated my rom with this new official one. Main things i've noticed already,

Opera browser opens MUCH faster! it's great, but it wont stay fully fullscreen when I use in landscape or switch back to portrait, the task bar at the top of the screen comes through, until i tap on the opera menu button on the right, then tap into the window again, very annoying.

The java app used be be great with Opera mini. It used to work fast and have no issues with rotating with Gyrator... but now it screws up the display when I rotate, and you have to drag it about a bit to get it to display. This error causes the two soft keys at the bottom of the screen to read PHONE and PROGRAMS (they over lap the MENU and EXIT buttons within Opera mini and you have to restart Java. It really is unusable unless you stick totally in portrait. This seems to relate to the Opera browser issue I mentioned above. Errors occur with the Screen rotation...

General use doesn't seem to be much faster as some people have claimed, though Active Sync doesn't remain open all the time

Anyone have similar experiences?
[Touch HD General] Danielfr:
battery seems to drain faster

Hi,

I have noticed that since I have updated the new Rom, my battery seems

to drain faster.

Anybody else with the same feeling?

Daniel
[Touch HD General] zuadao:
imo it drains slower than 1.14 and faster than dutty´s
[Touch HD General] moullas:
I've also seen (much) faster drain... i'm at 44% now after 14-15 hours since charge, and maybe talked on the phone for 20 minutes. Also, i have disabled "Auto attach GPRS" using Advanced Configuration, and also using Modaco NoData. No activesync partnerships or anything... this seems strange.

Btw, another problem I realised i'm facing is the phone not ringing at all. I think i've pinned it down to having custom ringtones stored on the storage card, and the storage card getting lost (i've read some comments of people's disappearing storage card). However, whenever i open file explorer i can always see the card fine... any ides?
[Touch HD General] trice1921:
My battery seems to be draining about the same. With moderate use i get around a day out of it, how long are you getting?
[Touch HD General] Jezwick:
Yes I have noticed this as well, on the good side my GPS seems better when using Garmin XT and as yet I haven't had to re-apply the Sounds and Notifications settings after a Reset !!!
[Touch HD General] Kael:
Well it's a no go for me too. I have DL the French version

Horrible 8bit graphics (like 16 colors)

Tremendous lag for everything

Phone doesn't even start, although Bluetooth and Wifi does

So as there are 3 french users that have problems, and only 3 french users reported it to be horrible, I think we can avoid any further dl of the french ROM...
[Touch HD General] Danielfr:
Me too, I get around a day out but before I had almost two days.

Danish ROM

Hi

Upgraded from old official ROM to this new official ROM.

- Overall the same experience as the my old ROM :rolleyes:

- Faster GPS fix :)

- Much faster camera :)

- MS ActiveSync only showing less than before

- 16GB Scandisk MicroSD works like a dream

- No battery drain

Very satisfied with this new ROM and until now NO (new) bugs ...
[Touch HD General] Georgeous2008:
My experience is pretty similar, can't agree with MS ActiveSync showing less than before. Without the fake server, MS ActiveSync still shows up every few minutes and slows down the phone.

- No speed increase in TF3D, in particular no better performance in the weather, stock and music tabs.

- Battery drain is comparable to older ROMs.

- I'm pretty happy with the new Opera Mobile build, it's faster in terms of interface usability.
[Touch HD General] sergimbsb:
same here

:(

the same happened here . I put in bootloader and installed the Dutty rom. I think you have to install the original spl ...
[Touch HD General] Advis:
Mixed feelings about this ROM.

- Opera mobile will occasionally crash on exit. The next time I try and launch Opera it goes to the loading screen then closes without an error. Can't find a way to consistently reproduce it though.

-Battery life, I think, is a bit better. Can still only get one full day of full on hardcore use out of it. Under ocassional use the device seems to last slightly longer.

-Radio singnal has improved. The radio has had good feedback from other users before this firmware was released.

-HTC media player is acting daft. I've tried loading an album encoded in 256Kbs AAC onto the micro SD card (music bought from itunes). Under previous firmware the tracks would be detected but the media player would skip over them. Now I get an error report concerning AudioManager_eng.exe crashing.

- I had a problem yesterday when the phone had no signal whatsoever in an area that I know has very good coverage. Had to turn the radio off and on to get it going again. Didn't get this under previous firmware but did get it in Dutty's v2.5 and v2.6 ROMs.

- RSS hub doesn't seem to freeze anymore when returning to the feed menu (in previous firmware I noticed it would ocassionally lock up when you pressed ok or back when done reading a thread item). Also doesn't seem to crash when running in the background where it was doing a lot before.

- The volume control buttons no longer respond when the device is locked. Very much appreciate HTC fixing this! The amount of times the volume has gone up and down in my pocket was just crazy... :D
[Touch HD General] Nightstalker79:
I use AEBplus to map those volume button to skip to next track so I don't have to turn the device on to change track, now this would **** that up.
[Touch HD General] Kael:
yep, had quite a hard time correcting the issue. (took me about 1h30 as I had tremendous connection problems)

but the French version doesn't have BBCiplayer !

so back to dutty's 2.8 :)
[Touch HD General] BANE:
I focused a lot on negatives yesterday... I'll throw some positives in this morning.

1) The Keyboard (standard one like the old WM one) looks and responds better

2) The predictive dictionary is not only pretty damn good, it learns well, but it didn't WORK at all on my standard rom with the regular keyboard so this is nice.

3) Opera Loads a lot quicker (but has the rotation prob I mentioned)

I'm not quite sure about battery life yet, as I'm currently running on an auto disconnect GPRS/3G in 10 minutes. I've always run fully on before.

I'll keep posted, but I'm thinking of scouting around for other cooked roms.

Anyone got any recommendations PM me, I don't want to hijack the thread.

BANE
[Touch HD General] Georgeous2008:
You actually refer to the fullscreen landscape problem described in your post. As for rotation, that works without any trouble, even if you have colored top bar icons.
[Touch HD General] Georgeous2008:
We should clearly distinguish between the opinions of those people who applied the stock ROM upgrade and then flashed Dutty's ROM and those who did not perform the latter step.

It's impossible to isolate the effects from Dutty's ROM when it comes to assessing the quality of the new stock ROM. So please if you use Dutty's ROM, also mention it in your post.

[Touch HD General] jankos:

But I have another question. My HD is not branded, I did not buy it from operator carrier, but when I filled up S/N in official HTC web site this message appears "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device". I'm very confused :confused: What i have to do, try to risk and flash the HD or do nothing? :D:D
[Touch HD General] Sky740:
I'm also seeing a significant reduction in battery life. Can't seem to access to hotmail either, anyone experienced this? Otherwise all seems ok. I went straight from original rom to the upgrade, no other Roms in between though now I'm in the mood for more changes...

Long time lurker, first real post.

I'm currently running Duttys 2.6 Rom on my Orange UK branded Touch HD and loving it.

I've trawled the Wiki and the forum and pretty certain I know the answer to this but anyway...

Am I right in thinking that I cannot do anything with this ROM until HardSPL is updated OR Orange UK release their own version (which is unlikely :().

I guess this also means that any Cooked ROM that uses 1.56 SPL (Dutty 2.7-3/0) will also be unavailable to me?

I did read about people forcing this ROM through USPL...but that sounds risky to my novice mind :eek:

[Touch HD General] Danielfr:
Theoretically yes with SPB backup or Sprite backup but it doesn't work well.

I have tried with SPB but had a problem after with the graphic resolution of my HD.

What you could do is exporting the registry keys of some applications and after the Rom update importing them back . You will preserve your personal settings for those applications. You can also copy the folders '\program files 'and the folders '\application Data'

[Touch HD General] dossy33:
i have upgraded to this ROM.

what i have noticed is that opera is much faster. BUT the clock lag is back. when you wake the phone by pushing the top button the time is stuck and doesnt automatically update, usually until i press the screen or something. this was an old issue that was fixed with a hotfix but ist back! the old hotfix cant be applied.
[Touch HD General] tudork:
I also was unable to update my ROM, although my phone is unlocked and I tried to update to the generic English version. I also described the problem to the customer service, and they said I my phone is locked (which is not) or that I was trying to update to a version that does not match my phone (which is what the website told me when I tried). I replied to them that their answer is rubbish and I am waiting for their new answer. In the mean time, I tried with a fake S/N which I found on a forum, and this time the HTC site allowed me to download the exe file, but after I started it, at 1%, it told me the software does not match the ROM version and the operation was stopped. I really want to update it but I only want to use official versions, I am a beginner and don't want to risk anything. Anyone knows WHY we cannot update?
[Touch HD General] deco105:
I think it's something to do with HSPL or USPL, check the wiki
[Touch HD General] KayK:
this official ROM is for europe region only, so if your phone is from other region other than Europe you would not be able to flash it (unless you use HSPL / USPL)...since you said that you key in your serial number in HTC website and it says this ROM is not for your HD, I believe your phone is not from Europe region...

from HTC website:

[The update is available for the following languages: English (Pan Europe and UK), Italian, Dutch, French, Finnish, Portuguese, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish and German.]
[Touch HD General] tudork:
Thanks! I dont know where my phone is from, but I certainly bought it in Europe (Romania). It is unlocked. How can I check where the phone is from?
[Touch HD General] KayK:
i don't think that an official ROM has been released for devices in Romania...if your country is not listed under the available countries, chances are there is no ROM yet for your region...example, there no official 1.5x ROM for Czech even though that country is under Europe...

•	Outlook/Activesync for Exchange (email, contacts, calendar)

•	Threaded TXT/MMS

•	Voice dialer

•	Office mobile

•	Adobe reader

•	Camera + flash

•	Today Home notification area for email, vmail, txt/mms, calendar, tasks

•	Internet explorer

•	Picture viewer

•	File compression (zip or whatever)

•	Calculator

•	Working on screen and query keyboard (with no issues)

•	Communications manager (number of buttons does not matter)

•	Today Home Battery meter

•	Working aGPS

•	Live Search

•	Windows Media player

•	Task manager

•	Volume control

What combination of ROMs, CABs and kitchens do I need to get this up and running? Where would you start with a project like this?

Thanks!
