i have 1.66 esteurope ROM, if i upgrade the rom to 2.02 or 2.07 or 2.10 can i go back to 1.66?

Use HSPL first.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] digitalhater:
If I flash to a US T-Mobile ROM on a European HD2, will it damage the phone or something?

TMOUS roms can be flashed the same way other roms are flashed? what's the latest version?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
yes the regular hd2 can take any rom.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccezar2004:
try htc.com select romania and enter your serial number... than it should lead you to the donwload... but it is only 1.48 rom... no 1.66 untill now...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] myke104:
yes, i know that on htc.com i can find 1.48 rom, but that is the version i already have... so it's kind of useless...anyway, i don't want to install any custom rom's cause i'm afraid it might not work and even lose waranty... waiting for an oficial update...

Anybody else? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] myke104:
check if you have wireless n mode activated or if you have wifi activated when on stand-by... this two will drain your baterry very fast.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] oliverweidel:
Hi myke,

thanks for you reply.. No, WLAN is off.

I use the data connection (EDGE, HSDPA/U) around the clock. With the old rom 1.66 (and old radio) my HD2 battery was working about one day.

Should I try to use the newest radio? Nobody else with battery performance problems?

Thank you!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pablo11:
I wasn't aware that they had released a 1.72 rom officially in the UK yet. I've never seen it there. Only HK WWE so far.

i managed to installl custom roms but now i have to send my phone back to my carrier and i really need the stock rom! i tried all these but none worked or i didnt do it right idk pease help.....:eek:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] beatts:
whats the difference between the 2.' roms and the 1.66, 1.72 etc.

2.1 is a higher version number than 1.72, but 1.72 is released later! which is the more 'advanced' rom? im currently on 1.66 wwe anx the .51 radio
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
it's cos the tmous is a different development branch than the regular hd2. the differences are minor, the biggest difference is the manila tabs.

don't go swapping just for version numbers, if 1.66 is working for you, stick with it for now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] beatts:
the 1.66 does work but a newer rom may be faster/ better on the battery etc. they release a new one for a reason. im waiting for the 1.72wwe release for the uk. the vodafone, o2 1.72 roms were released on the htc site as of yesterday but no wwe. i queried this with htc and got this reply. i also asked about why the hk wwe version has been released but no other.

Dear James, Thank you for contacting HTC Europe. The latest update that is available for your phone is the WWE: 1.66.405.2. If your device is purchased in the UK you will not be able to download the ROM that’s available on the Hong Kong site. The latest ROM for your device you can find on the link (deleted). If you have any further questions please contact us

its safe to say htc avoided a direct answer. i will ask how long i have to wait until a uk 1.72 is released when i get home from work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
1.72 seems to be just 1.66 with the fixes applied. nothing new there.

Hey i got a text telling me to upgrade to the newest T-Mobile ROM with this link

http://bit.ly/HD2ROM

once i got to this page and i entered my s/n no. it tells me my device is not suitable for this upgrade?

i have flashed to ENERGYROM before but it is running a stock ROM right now

ROM version - 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE

ROM date - 01/11/10

Radio Version - 2.06.51.07 (this radio was changed because of need to update to get ENERGYROM working but i have no idea of the version it was included initially, my guess is 1.41xxx something but it works fine so it is no problem.)

anyone got any ideas why it wont let me upgrade to this new ROM?

the ROM version is >>> United Kingdom:1.72.110.4 <<<

Please PM me or e-mail me a solution as i am not on this often enough to follow this thread.

Thanks to all in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Are you sure its tmobile locked? the rom you have now, the 1.66 wwe, did you have to flash hspl to instal it? because if not, then you have a generic htc phone, not a provider locked phone. (much like the o2 phones that started shipping in jabuary, , , no o2 rom lock, so the o2 updates wont work on them).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sageyy:
I've currently got hspl on my device and a tmous rom. i want to revert back to 1.66 . Whats the best way to go back to stock rom. Is it as easy as, task29, reflashing my preferred radio, then reflashing the 1.66 rom all via activesync?

will that also remove the hspl which i can redo later?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
almost completely correct, except once you do the above, run hspl2 and choose a stock spl. (one that ends 0000,,,1.66.0000 for example.)

now the phone is stock.

heard there is a new rom update

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images

flash splashscreens just like roms and radios. (No hard reset, nothing lost, just like a radio)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] virus knight82:
still cant make any sense out of how to use this
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
get customruu from HERE

extract it from the zip, put it in a folder on its own.

find a splashscreen you like, HERES one

extract the .nbh file and put it in the folder with customruu

connect phone, run customruu as administrator, job done.

Exactly like flashing a radio or a rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] virus knight82:
first screen changing fine but voda splash remains
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
the splash is in three or four parts, one is flashed, that you have already done, that first part is not connected to the rom, and will not change even if you flash a different rom (unless you flash a rom with one built in, of course, most dont)

The next parts are part of windows, look at this thread where i got that splashcreen from, look at the parts, an nbh file, and some image files.

no worries.

so long as you only flash over usb, hspl will protect your phone, so flash away.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] spinifex74:
Hi everyone.... been off the forums for quite a while as I was happy with my phone, and had no issues with it.

Recently dropped the damn thing and it's been paid-out under my insurance policy.

Ordered another one from Mobicity here in Brisbane, as that's where I got my original HD2 from..... and it arrived today.

Imagine my surprise when I popped my SIM card in – turned it on – and was greeted with Italian ! ! !

I've tried everything I can think of.... gone into the settings.. fumbled around with my limited knowledge of Italian and set the Locale to Inglese (Australian), but this hasn't changed anything that I can see... everythign is still in Italian.

Managed to get to the Software specs screen in Settings, and it informs me I have ROM version: 1.66.76641 ITA and Radio: 2.07.51.22_2

The bootloader screen indicates SPL-1.42.0000

I tried to re-flash it with the official Asia/WWE ROM update that came out earlier this year: "_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.66.707.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship" but it failed with the Invalid Vendor ID code.

I honestly cannot spare the time to wade through over 400 pages of postings searching for the answer, so hopefully someone can answer a couple quick questions for me:

I'm NOT interested in flashing un-official ROMS at this stage... I just need to get the phone working for my Optus SIM

1: Can I reflash this Italian ROM phone to an English version OFFICIAL ROM ?

2: Which ROM do I choose... obviously looking for the latest Official English-language ROM available, but cannot find any on the various HTC websites... if someone could point me to a link to the correct one to use, would be appreciated ?

3: Once flashed to an English ROM (if it's possible), will doing a hard-reset revert it back to the original Italian version, or is the new ROM the starting-point for any hard-resets ?

4: If I can't flash this with an official ROM to English, then it will be getting returned to the store, for an English replacement.

Any advice and help is appreciated :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] spinifex74:
so nobody can answer my question for me ???

the grey import i received (in australia) has an ITAlian ROM installed..... can i re-flash this with a WWE English ROM without using the warranty-voiding HSPL, or Goldcard methods ???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
have you tried? if its a generic euro hd2 then flash the htc wwe over usb and see what happens. it will either work or refuse.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] spinifex74:
Sorry.... should have been more clear.

Tried to flash 2 official HTC WWE ROMs last nite.... both failed with the Invalid Vendor ID code - whatever this means???

The fone I bought from a local Australian store was advertised as Unlocked Unbranded. I understand this generally means unlocked to use on whatever network I choose... and there's no operator branding on the actual fone casing.... but i also assumed that it would be unlocked in terms of REGION i can use/flash it also ??? But obviously not?

Waiting to hear back from the store as to if they will replace it with a WWE version..... but need to know my options, if they say they cant/wont
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
id guess then it is operator locked, and i wouldn't waste your time.

install hspl2, choose 1.66.hspl, flash the wwe rom over usb, then run hspl2 again and reset the spl to stock.(assuming you don't want hspl left on there, personally i feel safer with it there.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cikoone:
great job

can some one tell me whice one its the lates rom for the leo ?

im downloading now LEO 2.10 ? its that the last one ore can i use any of the shiped roms in my LEO ?

i live in Turkey im using the normal shiped 1.66 Rom but i dont use it in Turkish :D im using all my WM phones in English.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M3PH:
And these fixes are? i'm also interesting in finding out if i can flash 1.72 on to my brand new 1.66 WWE HD2 (O2-uk as the provider) because i have found several memory usage issues (possible leaks) in the HTC messaging app. Personally if i can find a rom that has it removed in favour of the default WM6.5 outlook based one i'll jump at it because although i love what HTC does with it's hardware, Sense, TouchFlo and any other of their custom applictions suck. If it's not hard to use and unintuative it's buggy and sometimes both. Anyway enough ranting.

So, yeah, if you can clarify what the fixes are and if i can actually flash the new rom on to my phone (HTC's site says it's only for 1.43.xx) i'll be greatful.

Thanks Guys
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
anyfix or update released since 1.66, think thats just a Facebook update and a car kit update. plus the operator branding etc.(that's probably why there's no 1.72 official release)

speaking of branded and official, you are on o2, and i think they are still shipping rom unlocked phones so you won't be able to use the 1.72 without hspl.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M3PH:
thats hardly worth the effort. especially as i installed the facebook update and it doesn't do anything as far as i can tell. i had to go to the windows marketplace and get version 1.2 of the full app.

thanks for the heads up on hspl though. it was something i was looking at last night but i cant seem to find a true beginners guide on what it is and how to change it. i have seen the sticky on it but that makes several assumptions about the reader before it even starts and it makes little sense to me past you install some program and copy a rom to the phone and flash the device with it. it also has no mention of how to find out what version you have. i think my spl is 2.07 but i'm not sure.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] michd2:
1.72 ROMS are just operator branded roms.

Its just like an original 1.66 rom but now its got the Vodafone intro while starting up...nothing new there I guess... You even had to install the hotfixes that take care of the Facebook problem and so on...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
heh, no worries.

your spl is 1.66. (or i should say 1.66 comes with spl 1.66.its the only rom version where rom and spl have the same version.

find it by boot to bootloader (power off, press and hold vol down, continue to hold whilst tap and release power, release vol down when three coloured screen shows.) look next to spl for your spl version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
oh so its not even a roll up, waste of time!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xerocus:
Found it, 1.66.421.1

FYI - South Africans

To find the South African shipped roms, go to www.Leaf.co.za and register your device to download the newest (supposedly) roms for your device. not that i'm unsing it, i prefer the Energy rom 13May WWE GTX release, on HSPL1.66 and radio 2.07.50.27_2

I am curious however if it is possible to put the 2.xx shipped roms on these devices(it is a 576mb device, will it run?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
all roms will work on the regular leo.

Stock rom flash

I have a two questions regarding flashing stock roms.

What is the difference between the roms posted on the first page of this thread and the roms you can download on the HTC website?

And if I flash a stock rom, does it flash the radio and the (h)spl ?

Thank you in advance :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
no difference.

yes if you flash from sd card

from usb only rom and radio get changed.

Question:

I recently got my HD2 and I was wondering if I should install all the patches and ROM updates mentioned on the HTC site???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M3PH:
The facebook one doesn't work (from what i can tell) but there is a much newer version of the facebook application on windows marketplace. The sms fix i think is included in the 1.66 stock rom and the car kit patch is only of any use if you have a car kit.

The most recent full rom (1.72) is an operator branded version of 1.66 so not really much point installing it.

What i have done is use all the tweaks except the ones that don't work on 1.66 and they work well. I've also done some stuff from the tip and tricks sticky. My phone is so much faster now it's unbeliveable. I can't thank the peole that take the time to discover these tweaks enough.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M3PH:
all i have done is install the programs that i use and then use a registry editor to change the values related to the performance speed ups and some extras from the general tweaks sticky thread. no custom roms needed. although i have installed a new task manager that emulates the behaviour of the windows 6.1
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Olimpiu:
Help for a noob :D

Hi all! I'm so very glad to join you :)

Just received my HD 2 :D

I'm a little surprised because of the ROM version - 1.48.479.1, ROM date - 11.18.09. I saw that some users got theirs with the 1.66 ROM already installed :( I tried to download a ROM version from the HTC site, but for Romania it says that no valid ROM is available :(

I think the opinions are shared, but can someone please tell me what ROM version is the most ok to install ( I am about to settle for the 1.66 one - RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.66.479.2_Radio_CRC_Si gned_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe ) and where can I take it from ? ( I will try from the 4shared link - sorry I cannot post link for the time being :( )

Is it ok like this ?

One more question :D After installation, what upgrades from the HTC site are needed ? I have some doubts about the SMS function update - is it still needed after installing the 1.66 ROM ?

Currently the list is : ( current status - I'll download the bolded ones, if not told otherwise - please help me :D )

Update for HTC HD2 Car Kit Mode function enhancement - for all ROM versions

Update for HTC HD2 Music Stability - ROM versions equal to 1.73.xxx.x, or lower

HTC HD2 Facebook Albums - for all ROM versions

HTC HD2 Java Message Pop up - for all ROM versions

HTC HD2 – New SMS Function Update - applicable to ROM versions less than 1.66.XXX.X.

HTC HD2 SIM Contacts - No further need after installing the ROM I guess - only for ROM versions less than or equal to 1.59.XXX.X.

HTC HD2 SD Card Storage Cards - As my cam is - Version 6.26 (Build 1921.1625) - I'll probably need this update

HTC HD2 Calendar View - for all ROM versions

HTC HD2 – Digital Picture Enhancement - needed only if the ROM version is equal to 1.60.XXX.X, or lower

Thank u all !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M3PH:
Olimpiu, I did some checking and i really wouldn't do a full rom upgrade. I have a feeling you may end up breaking the phone but if you do it, take these notes in hand:

There is a newer version of the facebook app available for free from microsoft. This does fix the album problem but the HTC update does not.

Unless you have a car kit the update for the app is a little pointless.

You will probably need to do an (h)spl update first. i've never need to do one of these but there instructions on the forum

The sms update is not needed if you install a rom newer than 1.66.

I've not installed the java update and i haven't noticed anything wrong
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Olimpiu:
Thanks for the prompt answer :)

So, first I have to install HSPL, and afterwards I install the new ROM ?

I really like the phone, I do not want to break it in the first day :D but I've seen another at a friend and he had another ROM, he said it was quite a difference ...

After a HSPL upgrade is it safe to make the ROM upgrade ?:confused:

10x again:o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M3PH:
I should be safe to to update the rom after the spl update but, as i said, i'm not an expert on it so you'd be better off checking in the hd2 development board and asking there.
