Anyone know when HTC might release WM6.5 for my TP2? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I have the Hong Kong English version of the TP2, for which WM6.5 apparently still hasn't been released. Does anyone have any idea when it might happen?

I contacted HTC and they said that they are relasing updates one by one for areas in the world. In their official statement they say that the updates will be available between october and mid november so i guess november is my best guess.
Here's the official email:
2009/10/30 08:23 Pete (Europe Support (Tech))
Thanks for your email.
Your devices is an Eastern European device, and as such, we have not yet uploaded the ROM update for your device. With the millions of phones that we sell, we have to stagger the release of the different ROMs over several days so while i understand this must be a little frustrating, I am afraid you will need to be a little partient for just a few more days.
The ROM update for your particular device should be available to you from the 11th or 12th of november. It will be available from the current download page, and the serial number will simply begin to work around that date.
best regards,
HTC Technical Support

My phone's SN# starts with ht96 that is (obviously) not supported yes.
I have found on this forum a post with ht95nll00167 SN# that works fine.
Even if HTC states, it is not for my region - it works fine (except for memory leaks of course, but this is a long story with HTC...).

I know about that SN that works. I used it also but unfortunately you still cant update because the updater wont let you. Dont worry, by mid November every EU device is going to have a wm 6.5 upgrade.

There was no issue during upgrading as I use so called GoldCard created with QMAT (http://www.revskills.de). One have to pay 20EUR but it is definitely worth of it's price.
Now HardSPL is available so you can use it instead but this way you will affect your guarantee rights while GoldCard is safe ;-)

Release will be 11.11.2009

I'm waiting too for the official rom from HTC. The customer service told me that the update will be available for my phone november 11-12.
I read some feedback tho and it looks like the HTC Touch Pro2 with WM 6.5 is really sloppy and the lag became an issue. Anyone tried it with the official rom? I'm not sure the feedback i read came from cooked roms or the official one.
I'm not yet sure if i will upgrade my phone at this point.
Also anyone knows if in WM 6.5 windows live and the messenger have been upgraded?
Thanks
Lello

I got my phone to a point where its really stable and although I've been using WM 6.5 on my previous phone since spring, i wont be upgrading anymore. I don't want to lose this stability I have now. TouchFlo does its job to hide most of the windows native screens so i'm fine.
It wont be long anyway cause when WM 7 comes out I'll probably get a new device anyway.

Release for what? EU versions, or my Hong Kong English model?

The official statement is that they will release a wm 6.5 upgrade for all devices between october and november. So i believe your version is going to be upgradeable on 11th of november.

Ooh! Cool.

My serial starts with HT96... the website says that i don't have he right version to download??
Bought for Australia phone came from Hong Kong.

Hi ! I have a similar issue to Mewsik. The HK-English page says that my phone's serial number of not applicable (It starts with HT98..). But the HK-Chinese page accepts it ! I'm worried that if I flash my ROM with what I download from this page, everything on the phone will switch to Chinese. I bought my phone from ebay. The ROM is 1.19.707.2 (51489) WWE.
Can someone tell me if it is ok to flash this phone with the ROM upgrade available on the HK-Chinese page ? If it's not, how can I download the upgrade from the HK-English page ?

Hey, Ive just gone country after country on the HTC website. HT96 serial let me download from singapore website which will be English even though item came from Hong Kong.

No such luck here. Do you have any idea what will happen if I flash using the ROM from the HK-Chinese page ? I also went country by country and that's the only page that accepts my serial number

Any news from Retards at O2 on Rom Upgrade???

getting way past the March release date and the only rom available on o2.co.uk is an Asian one that you need an Asian IMEI number to register. If I were to get my hands on one of these sorry things, what's the chance it's any good?

Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. WHAT?!

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....

Htc desire firmware update

Just been to the HTC website and noticed a new OTA firmware update on there.
I don't have my phone yet so can anybody confirm what improvements this offers?
Cheers
great hopefully it will solve all or at least couple of issues the users had so far
Did a manual update and it said I had the latest ...
sadly HTC rarely do change logs.
Although it must be very minor as it's only going from 1.15.405.3 to 1.15.405.4
Where on the HTC Site? I cannot see it?
I wonder if this is a quick response to the rooting of the Desire?
I hope not!
I'm on 1.15.110.10 do I have to wait for T-Mobile to update the software or will it be pushed asap?

should be pushed ASAP.
go into status and try a manual check. bear in mind that if it's done like the other devices when they get ota'd, it may be done over several days. so you may not get it till after the weekend.
Yours should go to 1.15.110.11
This 1.15.405.4 is the ROM that reviewers such as Tracy and Matt had right? I think that was the number in the video.
Just have to wait to see how long it takes T-mobile to push this out now.
Oh, and orange devices would go to 1.15.61.10 btw.
i got it via OTA earlier today but as you all know, NO INFO whatsoever! looks no different however hopefully will improve the shocking battery life......
YEAH RIGHT!
It mentions it on this page:
http://www.htc.com/europe/support.aspx
Doesn't say what's changed though...
Have not noticed any changes myself, most probably all back-end stuff.
What's all this about 405 builds for HTC and 110 builds for tmob and 60 builds for Orange?
Makes no sense.
My tmob phone notified me of an update today, but at the time I had to cancel it as I was busy. Now when I go to manually check for update it says I'm already up to date.
So where did it go?
First option on the "About" tab manual update.
Will I need to have the T-Mobile sim in for it to find the update then?
I have the 1.15.110.10 on my t-mobile and it wont manually update for me at all
Is the Desire going to be like some other tmobile phones and you cant get the official updates?
I have looked on the HTC support site and while it does say there is an update, can't it be downloaded via the site too?

Build number has always been difference between generic and branded HTC devices.
I've don my update, can't see any real change though. Maybe a miner update.
Things are much smooth on my Desire then my Nexus one.
Just checked for any updates on my Desire and it said there was one available, it downloaded no problem it changed my software number to 1.15.405.4 sorry I have no idea what it was before it was changed.

so if I unlock the device, HTC will automatically be able to know that and it will update with the generic update?

Ee UK variant. Software update.

Ee in the UK is notorious for not giving software updates. And this is concerning especially with Android L on its way soon! Anyone have any experience dealing with them at all?
They will update the phone, they have to. Not sure where these worries come from. Or s-off and convert the phone to unbranded wwe and have the fastest updates.....
Kinda useless to speculate on this topic, they must update but when they do .... that's something you have to wait for. Patience is the word you need i guess

I've converted to unbranded wwe and I don't seem to be getting the 4.4.3 update here in the UK?
Hopefully I have everything set up right and I will get the update soon.

Nougat Update - Please help

I have an unlocked HTC 10 that I got from Jordan (Middle East)
This is my 6th HTC phone and I'm used to receive the OTA update before other regions do with all other HTC devices I had.
Now I don't get the Nougat Update and Everytime I check it says my phone is up to date (No update)
What could be the problem? It is the region? I looked online but found nothing about region schedules...
I could be wrong but Nougat has been released only for US Unlocked phones. I have this phone and recd OTA.
Nougat OTA has not been released yet for any region other than US. Htc has not stated the exact time frame for the release, and the only reliable information says it's gonna be anywhere between now and beginning of 2017. So ultimately, you won't really know when it comes until your phones shows an available update.

HTC 10 Nougat now has been released worldwide for GSM unlocked units and dev units, and also for ALL US units, the problem is just that carriers want to add their bloat.
I believe, but I might be wrong, European units are also receiving the update.

Is there a way to flash the Android Nougat update manually? Coming from Samsung and Huawei (this is my first HTC), I am used to flashing updates manually if they are not available OTA.
Officially its only the US unlocked/developer phone at the moment. Im not entirely sure whats taking so long for the WWE version (The predicted EU time was end of november/begining of december but its starting to push that a bit IMO). But you can flash the US RUU to your phone by changing the MID to 2PS650000 and the CID to BS_US001 (you need to be S-OFF obviously). It works fine on my phone in the UK (I did change my MID and CID back afterwards). Once the official update comes out, I will install that version over the US one.

Android 8 isn't available yet for the HTC 10, so there is no way for anyone to "take care of it" until HTC releases it.

If you mean you are responding to the opening post you also realize that that specific post is over 1 year old, you really think he still didn't get the update ?
