No! You cannot exchange stock roms of an Indian based DX with a East European stock roms. The first error you will get is CID mismatch. You may know CID means country ID. As such the CID of Indian DX is HTC__038 and that of East European varies. Most likely HTC__040 etc.
Still a lot needs to be done on the DX, and the path to recovery, should anything goes wrong is not so smooth, as only official stock for East Europeans roms are only made available.
Thanks alot for quick answer. Ill forward it to friend with recommendation that his mum should at least learn basic english

Please guys. Shipped ROMs are in the WIKI's. There are plenty of post and threads concerning them as well. Closing this thread as I don't see how it has a purpose of continuing.
Hi all, I am considering to buy the HTC Hero from Hong Kong but wanted to know if it has the latest version of the ROM (2.73.405.5) or the old laggy ROM.. Sorry if I asked the same question again or you could point to me the correct thread.. thanks

It has an unrootable ROM, i suggest you either buy a european one or just wait, we have been screwed with these ROMs
Thanks for the reply.. but what is actually the problem with the ROM? BTW, what is an unrootable ROM? Basically, I need Chinese input as I am working in China.. therefore, an european HTC might not work without chinese input..

I bought my HTC Hero from a German site, and apparently the default language doesn't have Chinese. I've tried both DrizzyDrake's and modaco's ROM, and have no problem inputting Chinese.
OK thanks.. this is good info.. I am very new to android.. so by loading modaco ROM will have chinese input as well as the latest patch 2.73 that solve the lagging issues right?

Hi , if you buy it from Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia or HK they all can't be upgraded or rooted, the SPL on the ROM has restrictions, if you plan to buy one, make sure it best not to be 2.73.xxx or if you do get a 2.73.xx atleast get a 2.73.405.5 which is european and flashrec works with it, the asian roms flashrec doesnt work with. You will be screwed and can't update to anything else.

i bought my Hero from Smartone-Vodafone in Hong Kong, my firmware is 2.73.721.9, no lag, very smooth
rooted 2.73.721.9, no custom ROM's
Followed the guide on http://blog.trevoreckhart.com/2009/11/10/cdma-hero-root.aspx & rooted device OK.
Used the recovery-RA-hero.1.5.2.img recovery image. DO NOT use "heroc"!
When loading/flashing the recovery image, it gave me lip about a space requirement (unable to read/write recovery partition), but worked fine after I rebooted the device & tried again, so it's probably a good idea to reboot the device before attempting.
busybox on the device helped a lot (thanks to tmzt on IRC for his great help, btw)
As of yet, I have not been able to locate a ROM that I could load on the build v 2.73.721.9.
The MoDaCo ROM (v.3.0) installs OK, but it does not boot up. Just sits there on the boot/loading screen, but I was able to access root shell via adb.
Luckily, I have thorough backups, so it's safe to try stuff & simply revert back to a earlier snapshot
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:

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 don´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.

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

If you have problems to flash it - you would read the forum - there is a lot of instructions, for example here:

Since no one have ever asked for this model, i will... Is anyone trying or did develop a custom rom for it? This is the Latin American model, one sim card, no NFC.
All other ROMs made are russian or made for other models and Huawei said they wont release any update either to Jelly Bean or anything else for this phone so can anyone help our latin users?
Thank you.
I have the same request!
