I'm using unlocked HTC HERO of ORANGE (UK) in INDIA. Firmware 1.5, Build 2.73.1.66.
Kindly help how to udate it with 2.1
Can I use the old rom 2.73.405.5 on ORANGE's DEVICE (on HTC site after entering my Serial Number it described THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR DEVICE)
Im with t-mobile and i had to use a t-mobile ROM as i got the same message from HTC website, so contact orange and ask them where you can get the latest update.
Or install a custom ROM, much better in my opinon but its up to you.
Hope this helps
Hi all.
Is there any way to know to which network my HD2 is locked?
I am unable to update my ROM as htc website shows the message "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." when i enter my serial number.
I bought this phone from a reputed electronics store in UAE and is using my old ordinary SIM.
The present ROM is 1.43.421.1 (70315) WWE.
HTC support told me to install "Update for HTC HD2 System Stability" from their website but the process stops at 4 % and an "ERROR[294] INVALID VENDER ID" appears on PC.
What to do now?How to know my existing ROM vendor?
Thank u all...
Solved ! (thanks to xda n mskip)
I have solved the problem and successfully updated the ROM to 1.66 !
Heres how:
I saw "ICASA" at the back of phone as i removed the battery...googled....and found out that its a South Africa ROM !
Google lead me to this helpful info:http://www.htchd2forum.com/htc-hd2-software-updates/south-african-shipped-1-66-rom-upgrade/
Then i read "Flashing your First Rom For Noobs"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
and downloaded ROM update from http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html
[RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE-AFK_1.66.421.1_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship]
Installed the ROM after hspl
Big thanks to xda,mskip & BarrySumpter
Hope my call bugs are gone with this....shall update
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...

What do you mean by HPSL? It won't it void my warranty, will it?

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283 and take a look at the 1.66 roms, they are available for (almost) all EU/ASIA official HTC devices.
or take a look here

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.
