HD2 does not boot on restart after upgrading the ROM

Hi,

I am very new with Windows Mobiles. Just got this HD2 in india. It was originally bought in UK. It had the original ROM 1.43.

I tried to upgrade it with the roms on HTCPEDIA. This is what I did:

1. Upgraded the HSPL by following the instructions on xda-developers;

2. Downloaded the latest ROM (touch-it) from HTC Pedia;

3. Upgraded using the RUU included. It upgraded fine;

4. Phone booted ok and I did the initial setup without a problem;

5. But when I got a call on the phone after that, I couldn't hear the other person, so I pressed the loudspeaker button and the phone freezed on me;

6. Tried to restart it after taking the battery out. It did not go further the first screen with the Pink circle on it. There were no numbers on that screen which usually comes up when you restart it on the lower left corner. I left it like that for almost an hour. Still it did not come on.

7. I did a hard reset using the vol up and down button. It booted up again. But again exact same thing. No sound on calls and after pressing loudspeaker it freezes.

There is no memory card in the phone. I tried other ROMS on that site "Tom HTC HD2 Rom v2.3 Build 23547 Original Manila with Standard LockScreen"

Exact same thing with that Rom as well.

Please suggest if I can try something else. Please ask me for anything if I missed to include in the details. Would really appreciate any help.

Regards,

The official update on the HTC's site is 1.66. But on that shared folder there are 2.xx's, so which one is the latest stable build?

I can't even download from HTC website, it says that S/N is wrong.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
1.66 is the latest official release, the others come from leaked / test roms.

you have a provider locked rom, and as such get your rom updates from them. (if your lucky)

And what about 1.72 ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sebstermw:
On HTC,s website they have just released a T-mobile WWE rom for HD2.

whats very strange is its released in march 2010 but has the rom version 1.43

and radio version 2.04

have they made a mistake, as im sure this is the first rom that came out, and not the latest.

Hi there,

Last night I flashed (first ever flash) to Artemis's 6.0 WWE version, but now I am thinking of going back to stock.

What is the latest version I should get?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tidefever:
Stock ROM

Sorry, I'm new and switching over from iPhone hacking. Are these ROM's stock ROM's? I have a brand new HD2 but the language is Deutsch. I downloaded a WWE ROM using the serial number on one of your threads from the HTC site. Is this what I need or is there another ROM I need for this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
the roms here in the official roms thread are official stock roms, however some have never been released, instead those ones have been taken from leaked test roms.

Serial Numbers

Hi All

I keep reading more or less the same post, in many threads, 'cannot download from HTC as serial number no good'.

Could one of the senior forum members (I am a noob and not sure how to) start a list where people can send in the last three numbers of their serial number with their counrty or phone provider, so that eventually we have a list of codes for HD2, so that we can dowload offial roms from HTC website, by changing last 3 digits of serial code.

This will also help people who purchased their phone abroad.

apologies for the ignorance but this official ROM thread has got very overwhelming! can anyone please confirm that 1.66 is still the latest wwe official english rom? i see there is a 1.72 but from the file name i assume the rom is in chinese only?

been using a custom wm6.5.5 rom tonight but have to say i prefer the regular 6.5s for the leo. bottom buttons in 6.5.5 conflict too much and there are some GUI glitches. shame so many cooks have gone down the 655 route! may try cleanex though :)

so all i really want to know is what's the latest official english release by htc?

thanks as always!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SMS92:
also may i ask what the differences are in 1.66 and 1.72? htc don't appear to have included a changelog!

did you try changing the theme? the default bottom buttons do indeed look large and ugly, but with different themes they take up far less space.

which would you recommend? im+ is a

good example of a gui conflict caused by the big buttons..all of the serviceicons

is there anybody who can download the rom? does anyone know the manila version?

edit:

look at this

if you choose hd2 directly, you can't see 1.72, only 1.66.

maybe they actualized the page but the rom isnt finished yet.

we'll see...

update: if you try to download 1.66 ROM with the serials up here, it works...so i think my first thought is right.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PeterGuru:
What happens if I ...

Okay, forgive me if this is a stupid question, but ...

Based on the research I've done, I'm quite sure that my HD2 originated in Hong Kong or, at least, the Asia Pacific region.

I've gone to virtually every site on HTCs country list and tried downloading the ROM up-date, but when I enter my serial number, it tells me that the up-date is not suitable for my device.

There is one very strange exception. When I click on "Select Country" on any HTC site, I get a page that lists all their sites. Under the Asia Pacific region, the third listing is "Hong Kong - English" but in Chinese characters. The fourth listing is "Hong Kong - English" in English. When I go to the one with Chinese characters and enter my serial number, I AM able to download a ROM up-date; however, strangely enough, when I go to the English version of the Hong Kong site and enter my serial number, I get the "not suitable for my device" message.

Here are the ROM numbers for both sites ...

ROM Version:1.72.832.1 (from Chinese site that I can download)

ROM Version:1.72.831.1 (from English site that I cannot download)

Here's the actual file number when I try to download the ROM from the Chinese version of the Hong Kong - English site:

RUU_Leo_HKCSL_CHT_1.72.832.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship

Now here's my question ...

My unit is actually in English. I bought it locally here in Canada. What would happen if I upgraded my ROM using the Chinese file noted above? Would my unit be in Chinese? Remember, both the sites noted above are entitled "Hong Kong - English" even though one of them is entirely in Chinese characters.

If it's okay to upgrade using the above ROM, what are the advantages of upgrading to a newer ROM? I'm asking this because it takes about 4-5 hours for me to re-install everything, which can be very frustrating. Right now my phone is working extremely well. Of course, the only thing I don't like is that I can't use 3G since the frequency is 900 instead of 850.

Thanks,

Peter
