I wouldn't advise that...

Just go ahead and perform the usual steps of "starting fresh."

It's not worth risking any system "tainting" that could occur in the process of another system recovery from a different ROM image.

Besides, if you don't think the update is worth performing in the first place, stick with your current setup.

Really?

Most everyone that has provided a testimony for "TmoNews" has suggested that only improvements are noticed... nothing negative to report.

I would suggest that you CLEAR/CLEAN the RAM after the installation. Use a program such as Memory Maid to run a few system maintenance diagnostics.

Otherwise, give this "new" ROM time to "settle" on your device. 24-hour tests are usually the best idea.
[HD2 General] alefsin:
I have installed the new ROM. Things are very similar to way they were before. Didn't feel HD2 getting faster or slower. However, I have a strange problem now: Right now I don't have a data plan so I'm using my WiFi connection to get to the internet. One of the first apps I installed after flashing the new ROM is Omarket. Few hours ago, i.e. before flashing the ROM, Omarket was working fine but now it cannot connect to internet! Opera mobile works fine though (I downloaded Omarket with it!). There are other strange things going on as well: I have an MS exchange account. I can sync my emails over WiFi but contacts do not get synced! It seems that somehow some programs can use WiFi and some others cannot. Couldn't figure out what's going on yet...
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
Any changelog ?
[HD2 General] n11:
Thanks Reignzone.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
UPDATE CHANGELOG! (Personal Analysis)

Here are a few changes that I've noticed since upgrading to this ROM yesterday evening:​

The HTC Sense menus no longer have the "snap back" feature.

The overall screen sensitivity has been increased.

HTC Peep, the standard Twitter client appears to be completely removed.

The lock screen no longer "stutters" (on occasion) during the "slide to unlock."

Upgraded radio, including the version number.

Upgraded ROM, including the build number.

"T-Mobile Help," the micro-forums application has been included.

"My Account" has been included, with a more "feature-rich" experience.

"Swype" now has HAPTIC FEEDBACK, whereas my version of Swype did NOT prior to this update.
[HD2 General] toreone:
When I flashed my ROM. Twitter was still available on my phone?! :D
[HD2 General] toreone:
I saw on the Freeware Pocket PC twitter that they where having problems with the OMarket, Maybe this is what you where experiencing. Did the regular market work?
[HD2 General] polstein:
Haptic feedback on Swype.... interesting.

How well does Swype work for holding down a key to get the alternate symbol (like numbers & punctuation). On mine you can hold if down for days and never get the popup - I had to install version 2 to make it work.

BTW - I think I like the layout for version 2's symbols better, especially the numbers, but might be interesting to try out this Rom after enough people give feedback on it.

Missing Twitter tab would be... odd.
[HD2 General] mknewman:
Why is this release coming from a HTC web site rather than T-Mo? I'm thinking of upgrading but dread going back through all the settings.

Marc
[HD2 General] tai4de2:
This problem appears to have been fixed in the new ROM.
[HD2 General] tai4de2:
One thing I noticed is that the new T-Mobile Help app hooks into the dialer and hijacks attempts to dial 611. Dialing 611 brings up the help app and then eventually the phone may dial 611 itself later.

The whole effect is... bizarre and unwelcome.
[HD2 General] tgerbracht:
I cant get the My account or Help application to work. When I click the icon it shows me the initial screen and says "the my account application will be downloaded shortly" and just sits there. Did I somehow mis-flash the rom? I can't imagine this is the case.
[HD2 General] SEscobedo:
Because the phone was created and manufactured by HTC. Just like Apple releases the updates for its iPhone; not AT&T.
[HD2 General] Camusa:
I have the same
[HD2 General] ryan562:
my account application works fine on my hd2. overall, the updated rom seems to run a lot smoother. however, i still get the lag in sms but the freezing issues (to the point where i had to take out the battery once or every other day during sms) seem to be gone.
[HD2 General] tgerbracht:
Did you have any troubles with the installing of the update? Anything at all that went not according to plan?
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Why does it say the download is for the Dash? Also I have a 17 digit IMEI, but I'm only typing in the first 15 characters... I get the following error message:

The IMEI you've entered is incorrect.

Please double check your device's IMEI and try again.
[HD2 General] Lahnas:
So far i have no problems with the new ROM. I downloaded OMarket onto my computer then transfered & ran it on my phone, worked fine. When i flashed, HTC Peep was still there. My Email sync is working perfectly. Only problem i have is the unlocking bar kinda studders when i swipe too fast, which i never had that problem with the 2.10xxx version. So far so good :D
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Is this the same software that everyone else is downloading? Because this is my option when I click the HD2 upgrade link.

T-Mobile Dash Software (Version 1.22.531.8)
[HD2 General] datzent83:
I get a Dash download too. What gives?
[HD2 General] 00grim:
same here says dash update not hd2
[HD2 General] RodRahmani:
YEAH! WTF!!! I'm getting a dash upgrade page too!

Come. on. TMobile. - for crying out loud!
[HD2 General] littlebigkid:
For some reason, the link has been changed to Tmo Dash ,rom 1.22. I try to find

the link from yesterday to no available... weird.
[HD2 General] alsalahi:
zomething fishy is going on..yesterday link was for hd2 and today for dash.wow
[HD2 General] littlebigkid:
Link is DEAD...must be a leak, i guess.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
The ROM was in fact a LEAK.

The link has been rendered useless for HD2 users.

I think we just showed T-Mobile what the interweb users are capable of "accidentally" coming across.

Well, nevertheless... I really enjoy this "update," regardless of whether or NOT it's official. It feels more fluid.

And, about what I mentioned with HTC Peep "disappearing," yeah... I simply forgot that I had already edited my registry to HIDE all of the HTC applications from my system files. :rolleyes:

I'm already back to my previous "desktop setup" on this newer build. A fresh start from time-to-time feels good. I don't regret upgrading at all...
[HD2 General] escano7:
Could anyone please tell me how to flash back to stock ROM? I updated to this 2.13 ROM and now my SPL is 2.10 so I can't install HSPL anymore. I just really want to flash some custom ROMs, so please let me know how to get back to stock ROM (2.10). Thanks!

HTC HD2 (T-Mobile USA Leo)
[HD2 General] steve austin:
just one problem

ok. so far I noticed that:

pros:

* the music player ACTUALLY plays the music (however, there is still a problem when I turn it sideways and try to swipe through the cd covers)

* SWYPE works. no more long presses for nothing. I still don't lke the character layout, but it is functional at least.

cons:

My scree sensitivity sucks. I now have to tripple tap sometimes. Is there a way to calibrate this?
[HD2 General] dali5:
Hey Reignzone, thanks for all the info!!!!

Question, I updated my HD2 last night with the link on the T-Mobile website...How can i change it back to the stock ROM? and do you know if this upgrade will affect my warranty with HTC since it is not 'official'?

thanks so much...sorry for the noob question!!
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
From what I've gathered on the internets T Mob will we releasing this officially next week. I am going to wait. The stock ROM doesn't really suck for me, so nbd. I recommend doing a hard reset before flashing any new ROM. Might as well. You are going to have to set everything back up anyhow.

I'm pretty sure what you seek is here. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8XZMKWBZ
[HD2 General] robrob777:
For me the file is T-Mobile_HD2_MR Software_2.13.531.1.exe . The download link doesn't work anymore. I haven't flash it, I don't have anyproblem with the stock ROM.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
For those who have flashed to this new ROM, how is the experience with the HTC messaging app, does it still bog down once it has about 200 or so messages in its database? That has been my biggest problem with the stock HTC rom, though i prefer HTC's messaging app other that this problem.

I really dont want to go though re customizing my setup again after flashing this ROM if the update doesn't do anything to improve the messaging.
[HD2 General] dboss52:
I agree how can i flash this back to old rom for tmobile from 213 to 210 thanks
[HD2 General] ryan562:
anyone experiencing battery draining issues with the newest rom update?
[HD2 General] aceo07:
How's the radio reception?
[HD2 General] goldt:
So after 24 hours with 2.13 ROM here is what i have:

Battery - don't see any difference (at least its as good)

Performance - overall i would say its faster

Swype Keyboard- much better, you can now press and hold and it works

SMS- still slow at 160, but not as bad as before
[HD2 General] NickPP:
I had the same exact issue but then I reflashed and now it seems to be back to normal.

Everything else seems to work great. However, I do believe that there will be yet another ROM that will take out lagging issues as well.
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
swype from 2.13

dutty extracted the swype from this version and made a cab, i posted the link to it in this post
[HD2 General] unixman2000:
No Difference??

1. The link to dl the new ROM from HTC is no longer working. The dl link was a "leak" so HTC or TMo shut it down within a day or so.

2. I had Cookies Home Tab installed with a stock TMo HTC HD2 ROM. I backed up my cell with SQB backup before installing the new ROM

3. Flashing the new ROM took about 15 minutes. No errors.

4. After the new ROM was isntalled I restored my SQB backup file. The restore went without any issues, no errors.

5. I checked my HTC HD2 and found the My Account and TMo Help icon. My Account works, no problems. I have no issues with any app that acceses the Internet, which includes Skyfire, Opera, MS Marketplace, OMarket, Skype, Youtube palyer and various Internet TV apps.

Summary: I haven't really seen any difference in speed or radio performance. I did have a lot of performance tweaks set before the ROM upgrade so maybe that's why I don't notice that big a difference. I have not checked out swype yet.
[HD2 General] bgkilian:
I did the same thing. To restore, I downloaded stock version 2.10.0 ROM from the thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=655653 and used the new SPL 2.10.0000 to install. This restored SPL 2.08.0000 to the phone. I then reloaded HSPL and the custom ROM of my choice. Good Luck!
[HD2 General] tcoots:
Great swype update

That swype updated cab is much better. Took away the lag problems, press and hold now works, it just seems to work right now. Thanks a bunch everybody.

TMOUDHD2- stock rom
[HD2 General] Crackanug:
Link is back up for those that missed it the first go around.
[HD2 General] dkb218:
...And you won't noticed any difference. Once you restore with [I assume you mean] SPB Backup, you pretty much replace whatever new files are in the update with old files from the back-up. So if a update of a file name "Happy" was in the update, the file named happy in the back-up will replace it. Better to fresh install all your apps. I've been using SPB for years on difference WM devices and this always seem the case.
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
Does this update fix the quarter second lag between sound and video on Transformers or other movies, games played?
[HD2 General] tazz9690:
will this work if I bought an HD2 from the T-Mobile store and it came shipped with this SPL?
[HD2 General] jdzialak:
Is the the new link that is back up an OTA I download from my HD2? I tried to get it on my laptop and it kept saying i was unauthorized to go to that page. On my HD2 I'm stuck on a "downloading file" window for hours....

Any help is appreciated.
[HD2 General] ChuckStar:
You Have To Download It from your pc

I love The New Update Now i Have to Get all My App Back And Have It The Way It was
[HD2 General] k8sh:
This thread has not been updated since the real OFFICIAL update came yesterday (May 18, 2010). Isn't there an official list from TMobile or HTC regarding the changes made on new ROM? I mean, geez, ROM chefs here on XDA lists everything that they include or modify in every ROM update that they have. I expect at least the same thing from an OFFICIAL ROM release!
[HD2 General] knightrider117:
Yesterday and today I have tried to download this file from four different computers and internet connections. I even disabled firewalls, and the file still quits about 10mb into the download? Any suggestions? Alternate download links? Please help??!

I'm getting 20KB/Sec but I'm at the 17MB mark just now.

[HD2 General] Jeffrey687:
Rom 2.10.531.1

I gave up trying to D/L the ROM from T-Mobile. The D/L always aborted a short way into the file.

I'm sort of glad it did as I D/L and installed Elegancia 8.5 which is based on 2.13.531.1 and the differences are NIGHT and DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERY single slowness, hickup, keyboard bug etc. is GONE, GONE, GONE :D:D:D:D:D:D

I just made sure that I Exported my Cookies Home Tab configuration before flashing, and that my Autoinstall folder was up to date; and I'm back in business in a matter of minutes!
[HD2 General] Karmaz:
Well, I d-loaded the update from Tmousa yesterday, installed last night and have been running it all day. I've also re-installed CHT. Not one freeze up so far, smooth as glass. The biggest difference I've noticed is Swype. SO MUCH BETTER now. The long presses work great and easy now, it seems to detect the right word better, larger word choice box. I'm pretty stoked so far.

The only bummer now is that the phone was so buggy before that I was going to use that as my excuse to myself to jump to Sprint and get the EVO4g. If my HD2 continues to run this smoothly, then I'll stay put for awhile. It's a good phone once it's configured properly.

Stability was the key and that seems to be solved so far.

Damn !!

^_^
[HD2 General] TexasBlack:
How do I install the update from a Mac....is it possible ....
[HD2 General] jdzialak:
so far, so good. Except for the touch screen sensitivity. It's not as responsive now.

re:mac

I had to use bootcamp with XP on my Mac.
[HD2 General] Gotheat:

[HD2 General] spfraggle:
Hotmail

I have updated my ROM and all in all its working pretty good however there is one thing bugging me. When I sign into Windows live, it doesnt display my hotmail account in the email tab. When I try to add the account manually after it says "found settings for hotmail.co.uk" and I touch next it opens Opera to Windows Live there. In the Windows Live app on the device it doesnt even show emails there. What's happened? Please help.
[HD2 General] gstew:
Does the update improve the ability of the FM Radio to pull in stations?

And does it solve the issue of locking up when calling while the FM Radio is active?

TIA!

Greg in Mississippi
[HD2 General] Karmaz:
Well, it's been a week now after installing the update and the phone has not had ONE single lockup ! I'm fairly impressed.

Just as a note to some of the ppl who havent found the new update to be that great, I came from the build on this site

http://theunlockr.com/2010/04/22/how-to-get-the-htc-hd2-back-to-stock

I had this on there for about 2 weeks before they released the official update.

Dont know if it makes a difference what ROM and radio you were running before, but there have been so many disparate opinions on the update I figured I'd post the info since my experiance has been so smooth.

Hope that helps

p.s. the swype fix for the key long press is great !
[HD2 General] jdzialak:
No lockups here, either! I had to hard reset after the install to get my wifi working again, but its all good now.
[HD2 General] alucardunit1:
Well I have swipe and its a real bother bc i have to wait like 30 seconds before i can actually start typing with it is there a known problem or a fix for this
[HD2 General] narathip:
When using the landscape keyboard, I'm not able to "erase" any text? Like the blinker goes back but the text remains on screen and doesn't disappear until I rotate the phone back to its normal vertical position.

This is really annoying. Is anyone else having this problem?
[HD2 General] alucardunit1:
Well it wouldnt be a issue if i didnt have to wait like 30 sec just to type out my message

[HD2 General] bogdatov:
Today (June 3) I got SMS from T-Mobile that there is an upgrade available. I checked web site and they offer 2.13.531.1 ... but I already have 2.13.531.1 (90963) from leaked ROM. T-Mobile site does not specify build number :(

Is there any difference ? Is this newer build ?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
It's the same that you already have, tmo is just trying to make sure nobody missed it ;)
[HD2 General] dubie76:
I have loaded this two days ago and now randomly my phone shuts down and I cant power it up until I pull the battery. This has happened 3 times in two days already.
[HD2 General] slplanet2001:
After installed the updated ROM and I found out that my phone have heat issue problem. Should I downgrade back to 2.1? or install the customs ROM? Please help and advice. Thanks!
[HD2 General] JayG:
I have a brand new, unlocked HD2 that came with ROM v2.13.531.1.

I was reading up on updating to the newest T-Mobile ROM v3.14.531.1.

* Solved * - Will doing this lock the phone or will it remain unlocked? * Solved *

For anyone questioning this exact thing, the answer in NO, flashing the ROM should NOT re-lock an unlocked phone... At least with the Official ROMs. Haven't experimented with and "cooked" stuff yet.

Is there a way to back up the existing ROM or is there a place that one can download the older version(s) of the T-Mobile ROMs?

My apologies for ALL the NOOB questions. Just got the phone, haven't had time to read up on everything about it yet, which I will be doing, however, I would like to get the phone kind of up and running so I can start using it.

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] spectrum21:
So I have rooted my N1 and have cyanogen, when froyo comes out and I decide i want to try it out, do i have to upload the original rom and then upgrade? or what is the best way to do it? so i can go back to cyanogen if i decide i like it better? trying to keep it as simple as possible...Thanks!!!
[Nexus One General] anstosa:
You don't have to do anything. It will come out as an OTA, Cyanogen will get his hands on it immediately if not a few days before the release and it will be incorporated into his ROM. You will likely have an updated version from him based on Froyo including all his extra goodies before the stock OTA is even 100% rolled out [they usually do it over a couple days].
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
FroYo will be released in June.

Google I/O is next Wednesday.

http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/

2.2 will be leaked next Wednesday.

We will get it.

And laugh at people who haven't rooted. :D

P.S. Is it just me or does this question come up a lot? And probably will increase over the next few days/weeks...
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
Where do you get June from? I'm just curious because I clicked the link and I didn't see it.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
From Adobe. Check this out:

http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2010/04/moving_forward.html

Flash requires 2.2, so a "general release" in June would mean that 2.2 would arrive sometime before then or concurrently.

Either way, we (rooters) will get both much, much earlier.
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
Thanks paul. I hope theres a ton of youtube videos that come from that convention.

I hope froyo has this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae01yz5z99E

Also if you get bored, watch that video over again with closed captoning, very funny =)
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
I doubt google is bundling Flash with the AOSP code. That would mean adobe is making flash open source(not happening) or google is locking up android(not happening). With all the talk about decoupling the android OS, the chances of something like a video player being bundled to the main OS update happening are very very very minute.
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
Flash will be a separate .apk, but the OS will need the frameworks to support it.
[Nexus One General] paulk_:
Just wondering why you say that 2.2 will be leaked during the I/O?
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
It irritates me because he states it as a blatant fact, where it should be said as something less direct. It is a possibility.. but it isn't exactly set in stone to happen - especially with how Google has been so closed about this release.

Froyo being leaked would be a god send, but I won't be holding my breath, simply to be suffocated at the end.
[Nexus One General] p-slim:
Why do you guys think flash requires 2.2? It comes incorporated into 2.2 but if you have 2.1 you will be able to install the apk and be good. Adobe said flash is coming to android 2.0 and above.
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
It requires 2.2. For a laugh I tried the flashplayer apk on my stock 2.1 installation and the package failed.
[Nexus One General] mduber:
so will my rooted nexus still get the 2.2 froyo when it comes out? or do I have to relock it.

Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
Lord, how many people are going to ask this question?
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
Oh you have no idea. When 2.2 launches there is going to be a LANDSLIDE of "OMG why dont i haev over the air update!?!?!" threads.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Read mang read... this thread only has 2pages :-)
[Nexus One General] p-slim:
so you have the froyo leak and the flash apk, and you are confirming that flash will not work on 2.1? if this is the case the people in the ppcgeek forum waiting for the evo and the incredible forum are going to be highly upset until their phone is rooted.
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
Yep, at least not in its current state.

(That's what they get for buying SenseUI!)
[Nexus One General] p-slim:
its going to suck having to load everything back on to my phone, since this isn't a cyanogen update we will have to wipe everything. then its going to suck when cyanogen comes out with his rom a week or 2 later then we will have to wipe everything again to load cyanogen rom :(
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
I credit this to the lack of good stickies in this forum. Ok maybe I should change the word "good" to "useful" stickies. But there really should be a good Q&A sticky to answer everybody's question so that they don't ask it again in a new thread. For example: how many posts have you seen recently that ask "how do I root my phone?".. not many (unless its people panicing because they think they've bricked their phone) and thats because of that sticky at the top. I'm sure Paul will put together a guide (someday) and it will be at the top in no time.

Mod edit: I will pass your suggestion to the responsible forum mods.
