Having problems finding/identifying the latest ROM upgrade for your HTC Phone Edition device? Here’s the solution and full explanation!
It has always been rather complicated to find HTC ROM’s, especially if you live in a “peripheric” country (for example, Eastern Europe) where official IMEI numbers are not necessarily accepted. (This is the case with, for example, Qtek and some Eastern European countries – even if you buy an absolutely legal Qtek device from Qtek’s resellers, you won’t necessarily be able to use its services to, say, access the ROM upgrade download section).
Fortunately, the Dutch (it also has an English section, so, don’t be afraid of the language) HTC-related Pocket PC Web site, HTC Club collected all the links to all the currently available latest HTC device upgrades HERE.
I’ve thoroughly scrutinized their list and was, in general, pleased. All the download links are valid and the links indeed point to the latest available ROM upgrade versions. Make sure, however, that you compare the version numbers (more on their identification in the next section) in the “ROM Update” and the “Country specific ROM Update ” column (if the latter has a WWE version) because, in some cases, the latter may have a never version than the former, as is the case with the Qtek 9100 ROM.
Identifying the version number of a given ROM upgrade installer EXE file
How can I decide the correct version of a HTC ROM upgrade? - you may ask probably the most frequently asked question. It’s not that complicated.
