update, after using over the weekend. the rom seems to be running fine. has not froze up, internet connection has been a lot more stable, do not have to manually connect and disconnect like i use to. so for any tmobile US users that had problems with internet stability, get this rom.

however changing from full qwerty to swype was sluggish, lags when changing between the two.
[HD2 General] dbh369:
OK, the link to HTC site is dead now, did they pull it down?

I"m looking for all the goodness here, read about the update in Engadget, and tried to find the download. Then I saw this thread, tried to connect to htc link in the first post, and nada...
[HD2 General] malisha1:
I installed the update on Friday and so far i haven't had any issues except that the touch sensitivity isn't as sensitivity as on the original ROM. I hope there is a tweak.
[HD2 General] that nicca:
here is a mirror link megaupload.com/?d=T305M4Q4
[HD2 General] dbh369:
Yes, I got the download, just wondering why I can't find it on HTC or T-Mous websites? Did it get pulled?
[HD2 General] smashcz:
yea it got pulled.

I can't send/recieve MMS.... is it just me ?
[HD2 General] picassoianctions:
New Rom

Installed on friday, slower than original i had with Tmobile. Having problem with active sync, Network seems to work better.
[HD2 General] picassoianctions:
New Rom slow

Oops, forgot to mention , never had a single freeze with original tmobile rom, this one managed to freez several times. And sometimes when turn of the screen , it does not turn back till you reset.
[HD2 General] dbh369:
Running it now from download here

I did get a download from here, seems to work fine. Swype is improved it seem. Needed a screen recal, seemed to have shifted. Check tips thread near end for that. PITA re-installing all my tweaks, going to have to make a cab of those...

Haven't tried MMS yet.

editted: yep, it works for me.

TMO NEWS says it'll be official on T-Mobile on 5/18
[HD2 General] malisha1:
Guys

I found this http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml?. Check out step number 12
[HD2 General] bugmenever:
Tried the new ROM today (5/18)

Saw on this or another thread that the link is active again, downloaded the ROM, the upgrade went OK and my phone is working fine. No freeze issues or anything for the last hour or so. I am on Windows 7, ran ROM upgrade EXE as administrator, took the SD card out first and, no, did not perform a hard reset prior to starting.

Touch sensitivity does seem a bit less but it's not bothering me so far. There's a thread on this forum that show how to change the sensitivity, for those of you who need it.
[HD2 General] k20a1:
well its the 18th now is it official yet?
[HD2 General] jdzialak:
it says i don't have permission to open the page...?
[HD2 General] dysprosi:
Go to t-mobile.com/wmupgrade
[HD2 General] jdzialak:
taking forever...is this an OTA or am I clueless??
[HD2 General] Blairware:
Lets cut through the BS!

I see everyone talking about "leaked version" and an "official" version. Now WHY, pray tell would these two "Versions" be exactly the same VERSION. I mean:

2.13.531.1 vs. 2.13.531... 1 I work at IBM, and have been in th tech industry for 25 years, and I have NEVER seen two identically numbered versions be different an any way. Not by 1 byte. NOW, if the "official" even has so much as an "a" or and additional digit, we could talk. No coder is going to change

touch drivers

or any other drivers in a release and not note it in any way.

How would you even know which one you have, say you had downloaded them both?

Lets get real here. Until someone provides definitive proof that there are two identically numbered versions out there, and that only one of them is good, AND that the touch drivers are slow (I know they are since I had a refurb arrive with this code on it DIRECTLY FROM T-MOBILE and the screen was unresponsive as hell. Packed it up, called them and asked for another after 20 minutes playing with it.

So what are we saying, that T-Mobile used the "leaked version" and not the "official"?

Think I'll hang with my current ROM (Energy) until this is FULLY sorted out. Whether it was the ROM or some other issue, that phone they sent me SUCKED.
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
Can someone test and see if there is a lag issue between picture and sound when watching transformers or youtube vids?
[HD2 General] project92si:
my account

anyone know why when i start the new My Account app it stays on the screen that says "the my account application will be downloaded shortly"????

nothing happens.. no download... just stuck on that screen.
[HD2 General] karmadelic702:
Downloaded and installed today. Running fine so far. I do not notice any extreme performance increases or decreases so far...
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yes I have no doubt the two versions are identical, for even more reasons than that (very valid) one. First, when the TP2 6.5 upgrade was similarly leaked early a few months ago, the "official" release was soon confirmed to be the same thing. Also, I seriously doubt Tmo, HTC, Microsoft or anybody else could have made any changes to the ROM, tested them, and had it ready again for deployment, in the short time between when the leaked version appeared, and today...it's possible I guess, but would shock the heck out of me :cool:

EDIT: Here's the properties for the two files...byte for byte the same size.
[HD2 General] :
Has anyone else experienced an issue with Swype not auto-spacing when using the Search field on the Internet tab or Twitter?

Auto-spacing is checked in the Swype settings but the space bar has a red circle with a line through it in the upper right hand corner.
[HD2 General] tai4de2:
Size is not definitive. Try running "fc /b" on the 2 files from the command line

fc /b c:\users\files\sirphunkee\xxx f:\yyy

where xxx and yyy are the actual file names.

EDIT: I did this. The files ARE INDEED identical.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
:eek: You ran a dos command on my computer?!?

lol j/k and yes you're right, file size is not definitive that the files are an exact bit-for-bit match, but I would think any change in the ROM that had any real effect on operation would make a noticible difference. Either way, QED ;) and thanks for the legwork on the confirmation.
[HD2 General] jdzialak:
my "downloading file" window in Opera mobile 10 had been in suspended animation for over an hour every time I try to get this update...

I'm on a wifi connection. Website overload?
[HD2 General] spencer911:
Sorry to ask you but are you using your phone to download this file? It needs to be downloaded to your computer and then connect your phone to activesync to flash and update the phone. ;)
[HD2 General] jdzialak:
yes i was. I tried from safari on my mac with no luck, so i did a live chat with a tmo rep who said it was an OTA, and to use my phone.:confused:

I guess I need windows to install this...
[HD2 General] spencer911:
Sorry to hear that, yeah I guess you need to grab a windows pc for you to update your HD2. Probably ask a friend or something.
[HD2 General] ssconceptz:
Question: Can I flash this stock upgrade to my T-Mobile HD2 that has a custom rom using HSPL and how do I go back to my original SPL if needed?
[HD2 General] k8sh:
Can someone just "bottomline" this for me? What exactly has been changed from the stock? If it has been posted somewhere, please post the link (and please do not tell me to GOOGLE!). As applying the mods/tweaks and installing the apps again is a pain!
[HD2 General] jdzialak:
So far no freeze ups, but my wifi connection isn't working. It shows wifi connected, but I have no data unless I disable wifi. I've reset, rebooted, re-entered the wifi password, etc, etc..

Ideas?
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
honestly.. i wouldn't do it.. not only is it a pain to re-upload all your apps and settings... but your screen sensitivity just goes to ****....
[HD2 General] SnakePool:
I flashed the new rom again on my phone, thinking maybe this one was different in some way.... nope same crappy rom, 3g still sucks, task29 then flashed new rom, I still have hspl... the touch screen now sucks and with it sucking so bad now swype sucks... my menus don't "bounce" either... I'm going to flash Energy tomorrow. TRY AGAIN T-MOBILE!!!!
[HD2 General] 10332007:
I like the new rom, minus the lack of screen sensitivity, I really really hope that gets put back in soon. I was just getting the hang of the keyboard and now its back to square one lol.
[HD2 General] carajean:
Yeah I must agree for me this new ROM didnt do anything but mess with sensitivity and make my 3g connection even worse. Wish I knew a way to switch back to the old ROM :(
[HD2 General] keepzero:
Cant you modify the screen sensitivity in the registry?
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
If you look at one of the top threads on here, you will see how to modify the screen sensitivity. I modified it and IT IS SOOOOO AWESOME NOW!!! Except for the stupid lag between sound and video on youtube and transformers.
[HD2 General] toadlife:
Last Night I dumped the ROM and made a custom one (crapware taken out, and few essential tweaks added) for my wife's HD2.

She had all kinds of issues with the stock ROM. We tried EnergyROM, but it was just as buggy.

I saw no problems with it after flashing it, but I only used it for about 30 minutes while restoring all of her settings.
[HD2 General] SnakePool:
i installed thecab in the first post afyet i installedthe ROM last night. the full qwerty keyboard is also a pain in the butt to use opera does not auto rotate either, i just noticed that as I'm typing this response. lame update!!
[HD2 General] fyatwyrio:
Strange. I had flashed the previous new rom before the announcement and noticed all these problems. Once tmobile actually announced it I flashed my phone again and don't have them any more, especially the touch sensitivity. It was terrible before and now it's fine. My Opera also rotates fine.
[HD2 General] MikeD954:
HELP PLZ!!!! Dude DaveNavy i DL those files and extract the files but the image file is corrupted and now my phone is half updated and it wont come on. it sayz "Software update failed please try again" and i even tried to reset the phone and cant do that either.
[HD2 General] wtfdc:
Does this update work on an Unlocked Tmobile HD2 ? I have heard some rumors that this update will "Locked" an Unlocked HD2 .

Can somebody confirm ?

Thanks
[HD2 General] DaveNavy:
What it Means by leak is The .NBH is being installed VIA Custom RUU instead of the Official .EXE Up-grader,...which would be fair to say that the Leak with the custom RUU is probably a ROM dump, and of Course The .EXE version would be the official.

Dumps sometimes have corruption which "can" cause phone errors and noticeable Lags.
[HD2 General] haydendo:
Yes. I've got mine updated.
[HD2 General] haydendo:
How did you able to modify the screen sensivity. Can you post the link for that thread?

UPDATE: I found it. Thanks.
[HD2 General] erickson:
Not sure which of the many "update" threads to post this, but I haven't seen anything on this yet.

I just got some time to update, went to T-Mobile, and found this:

HD2 Software Update Removed from T-Mobile.com

05-21-2010 11:21 PM

Customers have reported issues when attempting to download the HTC HD2 software update, and may be experiencing additional issues following successful downloads. As a result, the software update has been temporarily removed from .....(T-Mobile address removed)

Support teams are engaged and working to resolve these issues so customers can take advantage of the many benefits this update will provide. Once the issues have been resolved, the software update will be re-posted on (T-Mobile address removed)

Customers who have successfully downloaded the software should keep the update and continue to use their device as normal.

Thank you all for your patience!
[HD2 General] zstjohn:
this thing has been working almost as good as any custom rom i've flashed. Definetly lower sensitivity but it's been better that way.
[HD2 General] jcp2000:
this rom isnt as good as i thought it was my gf's phone had a unlock code and it just says its wrong when she entered it.

i called tmo cause i was stumped and they said it was this update that made it do it and that they were getting tons of phone calls about it. they also mentioned a new up date to be released in a week or 2 so keep watch!
[HD2 General] ltvennard:
I just downloaded the software from the first t-mobile link in the thread and installed it no problem. I will test it out for the next week or so and let you know what i think.
[HD2 General] jiggahj:
sensitivity

i think its just more accurate havent really noticed a huge diff after cabs n mods by regedits its gotten better i guess but its really not that bad
[HD2 General] Sylux:
i installed the update and i am impressed with the improvement of the speed. other than the sensitivity of the phone being a little bad(which can be fixed), the update was good and so far no probs yet. As for battery life idk it might be a mind trick but i find it more durable when in sleep. as for the speed it is smooth and nice.
[HD2 General] Lobo Lansky:
tmobile just put it back up today http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
[HD2 General] dharvey4651:
I've had this same problem ever since I bought my HD2. Still haven't been able to figure it out after more than a month.
[HD2 General] tiger541:
I installed the update successfully and it seemed to speed things up overall. I noticed that the Texting was faster, lag was removed on it too. Then after about 24 hours, I noticed the radios switching back and forth more often than usual. then at work, where I normally have 3G, it went to H, then to E and stayed on E. I drove all over and the radio remained on E. I was still able to stream slacker music, but it was slower and laggy. Well , I got home and turned on the Wifi and now it will connect to my network, but it will not transfer data! I reinstalled the update yesterday after contacting TMo that my HD2 would not get off of Evdo. So they suggested I reset the device, which I did, but I noticed that the G3, H and E signals are real jumpy and sporatic. I put my wife's HD2 next to mine ( she has the original ROM) and the radio was way more stable.

So now I have to PITA all my tweaks and apps again ( 4 hour process) to see if the radio will work next time!!!! not happy:(
[HD2 General] Blacksheep427:
Tried and not liked.

If I'm following this right, this is the same as an official TMO update. If so, this caused 2 main issues for me. 1) the screen is less responsive. 2) Swype can't be used.

Of the 2, losing Swype is the more important. Swype's site apparently has temporarily shut down Beta testing and now I can't get it anywhere, at least I can't find it. Swype came preloaded on the HD2, as I understand it. Soon after my HD2 was activated on 3/24/10, Swype introduced itself, had a short demo and was active from then on. I can't change from touch input to Swype, as when I ok the setting it resets to touch input.

The bad outweighs the good IMO on this "upgrade". What I call i-611, the interactive 611 tmo customer service number is now interactive. trading Swype for i-611 is not a good deal for me. I saw no improvement in the radio, etc. Mine was working quite well until after the upgrade.
[HD2 General] theidealone:
I just started a new thread (not sure if I should have or not). I recently upgraded to the 2.13.531.1 off of T-Mobile's site. Everything is great. Texting/Swype is smoother, less lag, no freezing, etc.

But when I get an incoming call, my phone rings, and it shows my Home screen. No caller info, no "Answer/Ignore", nothing. When I start tapping on the screen, it will pop up the icons and bars, like "Mute" if I hit it where that is, or "Answer/Ignore" if I hit that spot. And if Im LUCKY, the caller is someone I know, with an ID picture, and I can get that to pop up.

I have no idea if it is the new ROM, or if its got something to do with CHT, CHTE, or Chainfire's 3D Driver Patch???
[HD2 General] Blacksheep427:
up(down)grade

I don't like the upgrade as it's a step back for me. screen less responsive and Swype is not usable. oohh I do have i-611 (my name for interactive 611). I should patent it before S. Jobs does...:p

no improvements on mine in radio, etc...

Can we have an update to fix the update?
[HD2 General] Jackdog89:
You could try flashing the previous radio to see if your problems go away, because that sounds like a radio issue; it was updated to 2.10.50.26 in this latest ROM. There have been reports that different radios respond differently in different areas perhaps the previous version worked better in your area. Try flashing back to the 2.08.50.02 radio and see if your problems go away.
[HD2 General] tiger541:
My radio has gone bonkers. :mad:I reflashed the new rom, reinstalled everything. Wifi logs on, but it doesnt "hook up". The 3G is rare and sporatic, H come on when streaming slacker and E occasionally pops up depending where I stand. (H is seems just as fast as 3G, and I wifi'ed my laptop and went speedtestnet and it clocked in at 2.5mb)

Just throwing this out there to see if anyone has similar issues.

But I will try flashing the previous radio. I have never done so before, but I'll do a search for TUts and see what I can come up with. wonder what my previous radio was?:confused:

Question: is the wifi controlled by the radio as well?:confused:

Anyway thanks for the advice!:)
[HD2 General] tiger541:
Oh, thanks for the radio version! Newbie I am...:o

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...rs-porting-their-numbers-from-other-carriers/

Can someone weigh in on this? I was talking to a friend, wishing that cellphone companies would offer some sort of incentive to switch carriers. I found this just now and was wondering what anyone knew about this credit and/or any incentives for switching carriers. Since I currently have an iPhone something like this would be a boon.

EDIT: Also how does the phone number porting work. If I want to take my AT&T number with me, do I have to contact AT&T first and/or cancel my AT&T plan prior to signing up for the EVO with Sprint. I'd rather minimize downtime.

EDIT: NVM that. Found the info http://www.fcc.gov/cib/consumerfacts/numbport.html That's an easy process.
[EVO 4G General] My1es:
That would be nice, as I'm coming from T-mobile.
[EVO 4G General] |Jason8|:
Welp, just got out of a chat with a Sprint CSA on the website. Apparently I'm elligible for the $100 port credit. I'm coming from AT&T.

That'll be nice. :D
[EVO 4G General] Lindarose84:
I spoke to a sprint rep and was told the so called port credit was in the form of the $150 you get off the price of the phone. So the evo is 450-150 to get down to the $300 price minus the 100 mir for the final $200 for new customers.
[EVO 4G General] setite:
This rep misunderstood or lied to you. The 150$ is for anyone who signs a 2 year contract regardless of whether you come from another carrier, or are already on Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] Lindarose84:
I called specifically asking about any $100 credit for porting over from T-Mobile. They told me that there WAS an incentive being offered to port over but it expired a few weeks ago. The only "credit" available is this $150 discount.

Anyone have concrete info on this?
[EVO 4G General] |Jason8|:
I talked to a Sprint rep, and they said I would be elligible for it on June 4th. Either way, who cares. When you get it, throw your number in the site and see what happens! :D
[EVO 4G General] tricknasty:
ive been reading its only for business customers but I am definitely gonna try for it
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Heres some help guys. After you port your number(s) you have 72 hours to go here:

http://sprintportcredit.com/

What doesn't make sense is the credit for one number per month. I will call when June 4th comes.
[EVO 4G General] droideveloper:
I don't buy it.

that website looks MIGHTY fishy to me!

I think they are fishing for people's cellnumbers and email addresses.

Yeah I perhaps should have specified when I wanted people to weigh in. I thought it was fishy and that's what I wanted people to weigh in on. I'm sure the manager at the mobile section of best buy will know if they have something like that. If not I'll ask a Sprint Rep.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
WTF so you're saying sprintportcredit.com is a phishing site? How are you able to tell who that domain is registered to? I called Sprint and even told them the website and the rep stated "Yeah go there after you port your number".

What does the scammer have to gain by going to that website and mistakenly entering your number?
[EVO 4G General] rdub4nd:
Ive asked several Sprint reps in person at different stores about this and they all say the credit is for business customers only.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
It says so right on that site as well.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Well I'll call the Sprint Porting Department and demand that they give me a porting credit. They'll want my business so in the end the customer wins.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
Just curious, why do you feel you're entitled to the credit if you dont meet the criteria for it? :confused:
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Because I'm willing to port 4 numbers from AT&T to Sprint. They need the business and they will give me a credit. I work for AT&T so I know how these things work. I will also be getting a CORP discount from one of my relatives on my account who works for Bank of America. It's a 36% discount. I believe I fit the criteria.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
From the sprintportcredit.com eligibility requirements:

Service credit request must be made at https://www.sprintportcredit.com within 72 hours from the port-in activation date for your Service Credit Request. Service credit is available only to eligible corporate-liable accounts. Promo requires 2-year contract agreement outside of hierarchy/special contract terms. Must port in from an active wireless line and remain active on original account number for 61 days in order to receive full service credit. You should continue paying your bill while waiting for your service credit to avoid service disruption and possible credit delay.

Credits apply to all devices that have an associated mobile number and come through the port process. Promotion excludes port ins from providers currently associated with Sprint. Excludes all Individual Liable, Seasonal Standby, and Special Government Rate Plans less than $10 (e.g., U3169, U3169H, U3169D, C1266).

Unless you're activating 4 lines in your business' name, the it would seem that you dont. But good luck to you, it never hurts to try! :D

EDIT: I'm not trying to be a ****, just pointing out the actual terms for this credit. If you can pull it off, more power to ya.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Didn't someone already point that website out as a phishing site? Someone stated that sprintportcredit.com wasn't an official Sprint site.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
yes, but that site is the basis of this thread. Look at the first link the OP posted.
