Mssage from T-Mobile UK

[weehappypixie]

Hi, I got the following SMS this morning from T-Mobile, "You'll soon receive the download to update your T-Mobile HD2. It's free & there's no charge for the download, all you need to do is accept. T-Mobile".

Now, this dont sound right. Firmware files are normally huge and I have never had a message like this before. I have the 1.66 stock ROM and not the 1.72 T-Mobile one which is pants.

Has anyone else had this message or the updates and if so what are the updates.

Thanks

John

I got a text from them when they released the 1.72. It wasnt worded like that though....... and I havent had a message like that from them recently.

Maybe they're going to send you Android to run on your HD2
Or maybe not............

I got the exact same message about two weeks ago, I'm still waiting to see what official crap they throw out if anything!

 

[rmsa786]

never had anything of that sort... ever. only found out about the new ROM on XDA.

Same message received today still no further details

yes i have the text its downloaded tk my handset and keeps asking me to install, not untill i know whats in it!

 

[conantroutman]

Install what?? Is it a link to something or did they actually send you a file.........

Just received the same text. Have noticed connection issues over the past few days, this update maybe something to do with this?? It's not going to be a rom update as that would be huge and would obviously wipe the phone on install - something that T-mob cannot legally force on you surely?

PS anyone get this message running a stock t-mobile rom. Mine's Stock HTC 1.66 - they might be on to us defectors

Just noticed on HTC rss feed that O2 had a UTMS900 update for HD2, this may be what we are getting.

I'm so glad you wrote this post OP! I was going to ask about that text, which I also received this morning, over on the T-Mobile forum but my forum user details are not what I thought they were so couldn't log in.

Like a few of you have written here, I'm not installing it until I know what it is. I'm afraid of all my phone content and contacts being wiped.

I also received a text about a ROM update just like the first respondent to this thread but I didn't want to ruin what is already a working phone!

 

[shandoli]

count me in too.

Same message as the OP. Uk Tmob

Thanks guys for all the feedback. I am defy NOT installing anything on my phone until I know exactly what it is and what it does.

Link hasn't been sent yet.

 

[delboydell]

there is no link the data has already been downloaded to the handset, and just requires installation, T.mobile technical(hhmmm) have no idea "its just an improvement to your handset sir" bring back uk call centers that dont have to stick to a script 100% of the time.

 

[djingonthenet]

anyone got any more news on this? Have posted a message on the t-mobile forum but won't hold my breath as they will probably come back and say what is a mobile phone

 

[conantroutman]

I still havent got this bloody message......... I feel kinda left out now.....

Received today:

"You’ll soon receive the download to update your T-Mobile HD2. It’s free & there’s no charge for the download, all you need to do is accept. T-Mobile"

Written by some sort of PR / communication department half-wit or a spammer/scammer but WTF does it mean ?

 

[conantroutman]

received mine today as well.......
