Hi guys
I'm wondering if I can install the generic European ROM here: http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=2&dl_id=629
I didn't think I could, but it does say "This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading." which implies that it might work.
I've seen methods with hotfixes which enable installation of the upgrade even if the ROM version is incorrect. Does anything like that work with this?
One issue is that my ROM version is 1.14.161.5 which doesn't seem to match any of the 1.19 ROMs that everyone else seems to have.
If I have to wait for an operator specific version, then where will I download that from once it's available? I've not seen anywhere on vodafone.co.uk that lists phone updates to be downloaded.
Thanks in advance
I tried but htc would not let me pass serial number page saying it wont suite my phone
INstall HSPL from the ROMs section and you should be ok

All,
I bought and US UNLOCKED HTC Diamond.
When I try to download the ROM from HTC US it displays "Sorry... download is not suitable for your device".
I can't download the ROM from any country. According to HTC support my phone is from US however they do not inform how to find out where I can download an "unlocked" ROM.
Is there any non-carrier branded US version official ROM I can download?
I installed and modified version and my wifi stoped working, it does not make sense, anyway I want to install the original one just in case.
Thanks a lot
no firmware for htc diamond us unlock
same here... I have the diamond gsm us version...htc us doesn't have touch diamond unlock in their site...so I think there is no support....I don't know if it worth to flash custom rom or stay with the official rom...any suggestion?
They don't allow to download in India as well!!!
What a stupid update if no1 can download it!!!
hi
Do a search on the diamond forum it has a thread with a collection os S/N for firmware for all over, us, india, ek, etc. or just take a look at the xda-wiki it has a stock pile of all offical htc rom for all phones kept on hand for chefs and for others who are unable to download it.
also make sure u got hardspl on ur phone as usual: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Upgrades
I also have a US 3g version of the diamond that was unlocked. I contacted HTC about support for roms/fixes and they said that the product is sold by Brightpoint in the US. Baiscally I was told SOL. HTC said it would only release a rom/updates for the US version of the diamond if Brightpoint requested it. I asked them for contact info for Brightpoint, but they said they didn't have it! ANyway, there are loads of great roms here on xda to choose from. Just make sure you read and follow all the sticky threads related to flashing. Let me know if I can help out with anything.
I went to the htc support website and tried to download the official 6.5 rom.
After i inserted the SN it says that this update is not suitable for my device.
How is that possible?!?!
I have the EU GSM Version.
PS: Can someone point me to a link where i can download the official 6.5 Rom upgrade?
Thanks.

Have you tried the official post in Rhodium development section? they're same like in the htc official website.
I finally downloaded the 6.5 official update but it says its not a good vendor or something when i try to install it. I guess its not made for my region/country.
Oh well...
Hi, I faced the same problem on HTC official website. What did you do?
Thanks,
I found a good SN on a website so i could download it, but you wont be able to flash your phone to the rom because its not suitable for your device, meaning in EU only Western Europe has an update. Eastern Europe still doesn't have an update to 6.5.
I bought a HTC Touch Pro 2 in Malaysia
I went to the HTC South East Asia site but when i enter the S/N it gives me this error
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=736&news_id=318
Have anyone found a way around this ?
Also had this issue with a UK Orange branded TP2
I mailed HTC and got this reply;
You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your device.
To clarify your issue, you stated that you have not been able to download an update from our website.
If your device is network branded or locked your network has restricted your access to our downloads. If you wish to download an upgrade to your device you will need to contact your network. They may have customised updates available on their website.
Another possibility is that you have been trying to download a version which is not suitable for your region (as example an Eastern European ROM for a Western European device) which is not possible.
So looks like its Orange that's at fault in my case. I contacted Orange and kicked up a stink as they advertised the phone with the feature of being able to update to wm6.5. They told me that they are working on it and it should be available soon...... :/
When they get it sorted they say it'll be here;
http://www.business.orange.co.uk/servlet/Satellite?c=OUKDevice&cid=1242977836148&extarg1=Phone&pagename=Business&t=SMEDeviceDownloads
Anyone else got it sorted on Orange already tho?

I had this issue too on the SEA Website.
I told them, they fixed it and all good now...

The branded phones need to make their own updates. Thats HTC's rule.
Some mobile operators might release updates, some might not.
Yip...had the same problem today. I brought my TP2 from NZ 3 months ago and wasnt locked to any one provider there.
Now back in Indonesia I've tried getting the 6.5 Rom upgrade on both HTC's euro website and Asia/Pacific website and have come up with the same message....bummer.
I hope it gets sorted cos I was told by the vendor that it was upgradable....

The build number is 2.73.771.73, so it's just a 1.5 ROM.
Regards,

Yup. Go to a site like www.mediafire.com, and upload it there if you want.
I'm sure someone will root it for you if you post it up here.
thats a shame why release a 1.5 update when htc are SUPPOSED to release 2.1
Well, HTC would have to release it for stock, unbranded heroes before 3 could possible release it (HTC sends the final stock ROM to 3, who test it and add their own [cough]enhancements[/cough](aka. junk).
So, until we see a stock (ie. retail, unbranded) Hero RUU up there, I don't think there is much chance of 2.1
what is H3G?? Why cant I download it? It says it doesnt support my device. Well I have hero, what the hell
it`s for the 3 network phones h3g stands for hutchinson 3g
now added link for everyone enjoy

I'm currently running the 2.73.405.5 build

H3G is Hutchison 3G - the full name of the UK mobile operator 3.
I will take a look at rooting this rom today.

might be, but this is a manufacturer rom for exactly this device...
as per subject
My Desire was bought from O2, so has it's firmware.
I'm moving abroad next month, will I still get an update to 2.2 ?
I won't be using O2.. will that stop me ?
Would I be better flashing it with a generic rom ?
Thanks

It's about choice...
Why you need flashing? if you Desire daily usage for Phone, SMS, Chat and Check Email and little bit Browse the net.. I think wait until official release for Desire much better than Rooted/Flashing your phone
Thanks for the reply.
I'd prefer not to flash or root it if I can help it.
The question really is will a UK O2 Desire automatically upgrade to 2.2 if used in New Zealand, with Vodafone ?
Thanks
Probably not. My understanding is that receiving updates is dependent on your current version. I'm on Meteor in Ireland, for example, but I won't receive any specific Meteor updates, because I have the generic HTC firmware.
So if you're on a kiwi network, with the O2 software, you'll get neither the HTC update nor any update your new network rolls out.
So either debrand now and get the HTC update whenever it's released, or wait until it comes out and flash the 2.2 rom directly.
One other thing you could do is take it to Vodafone in New Zealand and ask them to flash their own software on it. Since you're a new customer, they'll most likely oblige.
But that's if they even stock the Desire, btw. If they don't you'll have to do it yourself.
One thing to keep in mind re:carrier specific firmwares is that it may take an awfully long time for upgrades to trickle down. You could be looking at an additional month or more between HTC releasing it and your carrier releasing it.
And even when they do, they might disable certain features (wi-fi tethering, for example, isn't too popular with mobile operators)
Thanks
that is what I'd thought..
I suppose the only other thing would be if O2 released it for download, then I could manually install it !!
Are there still issues with wifi and the generic rom ?
Yeah, that's another way. Bookmark this link:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
The only issues were with people who people who debranded their phone and flashed to the generic rom. But for anybody else, there's no issues whatsoever.
Thanks
If I change the ROM is there any risk ? I'm not bothered about root, but would like to have the option of 2.2 when I'm not in the UK.
can you point me to a firmware flashing guide ?
Thanks again.
Well this is the latest (generic) rom update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684259
Very easy to install. Just download the .exe to your PC, and open it while your phone is plugged in. The installer will walk you through.
I don't know if it's that simple for branded phones though. You might have to debrand first... I honestly couldn't say. You might ask in that thread and list your FW number. Maybe somebody else will know.
You're sure it's a branded phone, yes? There's no .405 in the version number?
My firmware is : 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
I'll ask in the other forum.
Thanks
So I received my Arc S today in the UK, and it's a French model - I knew it'd be a European model of some sort when I ordered, so that's fine.
But even though I've set the language to English, I'm still finding a few things in French and it seems like my UK network can't detect what phone I have, and I'm unable to get a data connection.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to flash a generic stock or O2-UK stock rom to it please? I used to have a HTC Sensation and have experience rooting and custom rom'ing with that. My current build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Do I root and flash the stock firmware from this page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204302
So to build number 4.0.A.2.368, to be clear. Will that give me all the generic/UK stock options instead of French video services, Canal+ and Jeux Gameloft?! I really don't need a custom rom, in fact I want it to be as much like I've just bought it from a UK supply as possible and don't even need rooting or the bootloader unlocked at the end of it if that can be avoided.
Your help is much appreciated in advance!

Thanks! It doesn't seem to have a generic UK firmware - only Central Europe 1/2/3 without listing the difference - but I've emailed Wotanserver to see if they can advise.
Is their method safe, do you know?
