Anyone know when HTC might release WM6.5 for my TP2?

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

[OFFICIAL FROYO] 2.2 rollout started on Kies for UK owners

Samsung UK have just posted on Facebook that the UK Froyo rollout has started on Kies. Here's their full post:
"Samsung UK The roll out of Android 2.2 Froyo for Galaxy S has begun today, as some of you will have already seen. As previously stated the roll out will be completed in the UK by the end of November. To get your handset ready for the upgrade please download the latest version of Kies from the support section on Samsung.com/uk, where you can also find a video in the ‘How-To-Guides’ on how to download Kies and install Android 2.2 Froyo. http://bit.ly/cfjJDa"
...now going to check version numbers on my Kies...
EDIT: Also a new Kies version available: 1.5.3.10103.100 (which will NOT allow registry hacks to change product code / firmware version)

Also for XEU phones!!! XD YEAH!!!

Argh mines still won't update :\ 'this devices version cannot be updated'

I got an update today. The version is JPA/JPP. I updated using kies, from JPK. hope its the official one

Kies seems to be wise to the registry key hack to change firmware versions... at least it is ignoring whatever I set the registry to on my computer

The update through KIES is version JPO if you're in the UK

I'm in Ireland, got the phone from Carphone Warehouse and updated via Kies to JPA/JPP today. Also installed Ya-OK-Kernel, which seems to work flawlessly.
Edith sais: I updated from JP6, deactivated all lagfixes first. Settings where lost, but all installed apps stayed.

Hey there, I just upgraded to Froyo through Kies.. How do I root on 2.2? I've forgotten how I did it on 2.1. :/

@ADeadlySpoon: Can you tell me your HIDSWVER and ProductCode from your registry please?

Not sure that's going to help, apparently Samsung has blocked the registry hack as of Kies 1.5.3.10103_100. Any manual code one might enter is immediately replaced by the real one upon restarting the update.
Here are some codes if you are willing to try too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7872726&postcount=3

Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828504&page=22 if you have an update problem.

Thanks for this

HIDSWVER and product code are stored in the registry in Windows.
I know Kies has blocked this hack, I want to know the info for another reason (and I've changed the code on my phone and can't remember it's original one)

Official JEM_3.4.3 (Froyo 2.2) Released

Accoding to this official document this release is for Singapore, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam.
The document is in English. UK users can read it also to find out what is in store in 2.2 release. Don't think is going to be very different to what we are going to get from Motorola.

but... but.. I already flashed the FR 2.2.2
anyways, imma wait for the SBF to flash for warranty purposes.
It's all good!

Where do they get the sbf file?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

From this page.
Edit: From the link you can only download the Motorola update program.

Can't wait to try. But I've already full flash to Europe Froyo.
Wait someone to post full SBF SEA.

hope it works...

Where can I physically download the original Froyo update without going thru system update?
I am on Moto_Version.2.59.0.MB525.Retail.en.CH18

Froyo for Vodafone DE is released - SBF needed

Finally Vodafone DE released Froyo update, it's available on Motorola Software Update.
Could anybody share the SBF? Thanks a lot.

I thought, this was an OTA update?

I can see it on Motorola Software Update site (direct.motorola.com) with pdf description (Blur_Version.3.4.2.179.4.4.MB525VF360.DE.v8.pdf). Doesn't it mean that the update is also available on MSU ?

Am looking for the same for Vodafone España. Need to put official firmware on before sending the phone back to get the earpiece repaired for the second time.

Yes it is now available on msu, please upload the sbf.

Vodafone España Official Froyo sbf

German version still wanted.

Vodafone DE Defy Froyo
Hi @all,
Vodafone DE Froyo is available. My Boss did this update on Sunday over the air.
I make the retail update a few days earlier.
I want to change to Vodafone DE Froyo, but ota it is not available for me.
Can anybody share it??
THX,
Andy

I've received the Voda DE OTA update 2 days ago, my phone is not rooted (yet). If you still need the SBF please post the steps I shall execute and I try to create it. (I have been falshing my other phones only, not the defy)

To get SBF file you need to update your phone using Motorola Software Update (MSU) on PC. Copy SBF file from firmware folder in MSU installation directory right after the download phase.
Thanks for your help.

I've installed the update OTA, MSU is not downloading anything for me unfortunately

Is there still some interest in the VF.de update? We have about 60 devices in our company and I just downloaded the sbf and msu. Are both needed? I will try to upload it somewhere.

Yes, I'm interested, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

http://netload.in/dateiynBbGHSOUK/J...YOVFDE_P022_A020_M002_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.htm
There you go. Tell me if the .msu is also needed.
Edit:
Tested it myself with stock-froyo on a VF.de device (for testing). Looks like all the others now and worked fine with RSD Lite.

Thank you, downloading now.

Is this official 2.2.2 Froyo or something else ?

Hi,
I couldn't confirm the origin of these files:
http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
=> The files under 2.2.2 Froyo Service Flashes, are they official ones or something weird from the internet (e.g. a beta/ a leak etc.)
Thanks!!

*bump*

2nd bump (really need to know this)

Some are official while some are "leaked" eg. the UK 177 is official release whereas I'm sure the Nordic was a leaked version.

Are there any information on the quality of 2.2.2 Central Europe ? Does leaked mean unfinished/ unstable ?
Where can I get an official 2.2.2 version ?
*edit*
My version (Central Europa 2.2.2) has the version number 3.4.2 179-002 and I cannot find any newer "official" version. So I guess it's the one that also came through the Motorola Software update.

Yes I suppose leaked version may be buggy but when looking at the Nordic leak it's pretty good. The UK 3.4.3-11 leak was also pretty good in my experience whereas the first UK leak 3.4.2-117 had issues like haptic feedback not working on the soft keys.
Also when looking at official versions like the latest official UK build released by Moto Software updater people are reporting issues with that.
I think the Central Europe 179 that you have is the official Moto Software update.

Currently my phone says 179-002! The one I downloaded through Motorolas official software BEFORE was 177-003.
So whatever I currently have is newer than what Motorola offers. I'm from Germany. Maybe the Motorola software somehow recognized that and gave me 177 (current German version). So the question is wether 179-002 is an official version made for the Central European (non German) market or a leaked version.
to make this clear:
first I downlaoded 177 German through Motorolas software
then later I manually flashed 179 CEE from this mysterios sbf:dev page above...
Now I wan't to know what 179-002 CEE is, official or beta/ leaked...

It's 179 actually ?

Of course sorry typo will edit so as to not to confuse.
