Sounds good! So streesed with this phone atm. I got the o2 locked version and unbranded it but as soon as i upgraded i started to get this issue. On the verges of sending it back for a refund but i think the goldcard method voided my warranty :/
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] puremind:
Thanks to you and johncmolyneux for this.

I have an other issue: in the previous ROM's the "Windows classic lock" was great because it didn't require to press anything on the screen, so I could easily lock and unlock using the power button instead of the sliding mecanism from the "Windows default lock".

It may have been a bug but it doesn't work this way anymore in the 1.61 version.

Is there a way to remove the need to tap unlock or use the slider in order to unlock the device?

Or is there a way to just switch off the backlight and screen responsiveness through a single key?

Key+slide/tap is 1 more move...doesn't make sense unless you don't trust your pocket not to press on the power button...?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bonusforum.se:
Saw this and then saw that HTC officially released a SMS-fix but apparently it doesnt help all people (the offical release).

If I want to upgrade to this, shall I upgrade to 1.61, then apply the sms-fix or shall I not use the sms-fix at all because this fix is better? THanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
Hi,

I understand what your saying but if people cannot be bothered to read and find the many posts relating to the fact that you should not backup settings and restore them to a different rom then this is their own fault!

The problem is because of the popularity of these devices and the lack of understanding of the general user. people get these deviced thinking it going to be nice and simple, when they get it home to look/work the device and realise it is not as simple as they think, they come here and pollute with useless questions and pointless threads because they cannot be bothered to search or read.

Sorry i dont suffer fools gladly, but this is the WORLDS biggest site for HTC devices, and i remember joining here and i MANY times got flamed, but none will beat this that i received from Olipro years ago:

"F**k off this forum, it is for experienced users. If your a noob go to PPCGeeks"

Remember it was the master himself OliPro who told me that in those words, i have never forgot it!!

he is a straight talking guy, be basically flambéed me over a thread, ripped me a new-one verbally because i was asking simple things like:

"How can I back up..."

"what software is good..."

"I want to try this can someone tell me how...."

his lesson to was was:

"This is not a restaurant, and i am not your waiter.... serve yourself, unless your giving me tips!!"

I love this, nice analogy!

If the answer is easy and can be found using google/xda search then no help should be given!

SMS is now good, radio seems to not mess around and as a result my battery seems to be lasting longer and my internet abuse through from my laptop is now working well.

I can now say im pretty happy with this device. The SMS was my main issue.

Go Flash your Leo!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] citrix80:
how to choose between TUR and WWE? will this start directly into TUR?

can anybody post a instruction exactly how to flash this ROM with goldcard?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Toss3:
It will give you an option after you've installed it.

As for your other question - use the search function.

Here's the guide and it's even stickied on the first page.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tictac0566:
After flashing, during the first start, the device gives you the option of the 2 languages. And, how to flash is described in the respective threads here in the forum.

My own experience is that the radio seems much, much better, I do have stable 3G reception, which was not the case with 1.43/1.48 ROMs. Maybe this plus the newer versions of some programs helps solving some issues (although I rarely suffered those, especially SMS stuck in the outbox).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] danielherrero:
I ve no doubt. The BIG improvment in this rom is the radio part. Battery live is much better and 3G coverage too ¡¡¡¡. Now my battery last 24 hours without problem with direct push over 3g. With 1.4x the battery was 5% at 22:00 without much usage (direct push over 3G ON)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Yes!:
Thanks for your suggestions.

I had already tried that one, but strange enough although the drive is visible it won't let me do anything with it. It shows the size, but i can't create a partition or see it properties.

I think i will have to give the gold image a try on another spare MicroSD card.

may b an idea to put in the first post, not to forget to change the regional settings? Seen it a few times already in this thread, seems like nobody uses the search function.............. :P

Has anyone tried to contact HTC about this SMS lag problem? Last time I contacted them and told them about the Task Manager problem (no task manager), they told me that, they (HTC Norway) will discuss that in the next HTC Engineering meeting. And it seemed that they are very very open to feedbacks and they are willing to fix the problems their customers are experiencing.

Is it possible to go back to 1.48 after update to this version?

Try with them for a proper open GL driver for Leo or Usb host support like TG01.

Just updated, the speaker volume is quieter now, I liked the option to have it loud :( but it doesnt sound distorted when playing music on full volume now.

Seems to be taking 1 or 2 seconds to wake up for me though :S
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lutanica:
You know that HTC is bound by a monster named "microsoft". So those things are not something that HTC can do anything about. If Microsoft let them, they will do that. You have to remember that it is Microsoft that is the enemy not HTC. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
that's pretty much drivel me thinks.. .:p

Htc are the ones that create drivers with the chipset suppliers (qualcomm) MS has very little to do with that part of things.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] citrix80:
I followed the steps, after restart, i get ''00028002 not allowed '' , then the rom start to flash, at 1%, it says invalid vendor ID, then stopped.

what should I do? :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mika34:
Hi all. Just flashed this new ROM. I can`t get Duttys task manager working. It`s installing ok, soft reset and there is nothing appear in right top corner. Any ideas? Everything else working fine for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lutanica:
According to HTC, the drivers must be approved and adapted by Microsoft, if not HTC cannot release those drivers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Toss3:
Did you download the goldcard? Make sure you follow all of the steps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] altec1000:
Doesn't sound logical, because TG01 has better drivers and also WM6.5
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lutanica:
Well, it seems like Microsoft has different agreements with HTC and Toshiba. I agree with you in that it's not logical. But it's what I have been told by HTC.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] omneity:
I had to try a few times to overcome that. Try writing the goldcard code using QMAT instead of the Hex editor, that's what worked for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] omneity:
I got it installed on mine OK, I had to reboot 2-3 times for everything to work OK though. It's worth rebooting each time you apply each individual OS fix or add-in as they hook-in to the registry at OS boot run-time level not application level like apps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] citrix80:
how to generate goldcard code using QMAT ? do you have direction?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] omneity:
Format the card via WinMo.

Copy the ROM file image to the SD card via the phone, make sure your chosen ROM image is renamed to LEOIMG.nbh

Launch QMAT

> Hardware Forensics

> WINCE SD Card Utils

> Write Imagefile (keep offeset to zero) - browse to location of your goldcard img code and write this to SD card.

Continue the reflash as per the sticky.

Simples!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] citrix80:
I just followed the steps, after writing the card, I reboot the phone, put in bootloader, message come on windows says card need to format.

what happened?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
Successfully flashed to 1.61 from 1.48 wwe unbranded rom. Initially could not flash by putting the image file on sd card and then went to bootloader. Nothing happened. So I flashed via usb mode. All went well.

Looking forward to seeing how good this rom is. Slowly restoring 5 gigs of data back to my 8 gig card.

I guess if i buy a 16gig card I would need a new gladcard image.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jack E:
With this ROM I have found that on the Phone screen it starts too low.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] omneity:
It didn't work properly! :D

I think it has a lot to do with the SD card and how they are formatted. Do a full format (don;t use quick format) on the PC and then try formatting it a few times on the phone before writing the image, also might be worth trying another card. I used a SanDisk 1Gb FWIW. As I said, it took me a few attempts before it worked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] omneity:
"They all do that Sir, it's a feature" :cool:

Same on mine, not really a great problem. Wait for the official ROM updates if it bothers you.

Is it possible to extract the turkish .cab for installing without flashing a new rom? i allready have a 1.61 Rom installed, all i want is just the tr language on it.

I think there would be several people interested in installing tr language on there phones without flashing the phone with another rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SkywalkerPD:
Yesterday flashed to 1.61 ROM. All went smooth. No errors. After the upgrade I restored my SPB backup file and restarted the device. When I look at the Device info now it says ROM version 1.48?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wazaaappp:
nope 1.61.468.1 (74237) WWE
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] LondonTownGuy:
Use QMAT to obtain serial, replace first 2 letters/numbers with 00 (zero,zero).Then get your Goldcard image.

Format sd card on phone not pc.

Send your image via QMAT and activesync not hex editor.(Make sure your press obtain serial first to load serial, {no need to correct zeros} then press send image and send your goldcard file)After this you should be able to see your sd card on phone. Follow link below section in red.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wazaaappp:
did you choose ur language at the end of the flash?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SkywalkerPD:
Yes I did, I chose English. It ran the setups for network, mail etc. and after that I restored my SPB backup file.

Is there another way to check the ROM version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wazaaappp:
when turning on u'll see red letters at the bottom (check the last one)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] omneity:
It's worthwhile doing a search before doing something as drastic as a ROM flash and fully understand what the process involves. It's mentioned many times on here NOT to use an SPB backup from an earlier ROM as by default it will overwrite registry settings that may not be compatible with the new ROM code.

The ROM version is believe is just stored on a text file so it will be the version number of the ROM on which the backup was performed, you should see the true ROM version as the phone boots up before it gets into the OS.

If you want to avoid problems and possible lock-ups with the new ROM, I would do a hard reset and reinstall all of your apps and files and only then revert to using SPB backup.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SkywalkerPD:
It says 1.61.74237 in de bootscreen, so it did upgrade, but when I go to start>settings>Menu>all settings>system>Device information>software information it says 1.48.405.2 (71294)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SkywalkerPD:
Thanks for the tip! I didn't think of that. Didn't encounter any problems until now by the way. I flashed last night.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Step2p:
Yes, because this is a registry setting and by restoring your previous SPB backup image you also restored the previous registry.

If you want to restore a previous backup file the best method is

1) Backup the new registry after completing the rom upgrade and before installing any software (using resco registry or your backup software)

2) Restore your previous backup image

3) Finally reimport the registry backup of the new rom.

Does this rom fix the music player problem I am having?

When I play music on the music player, I get 2 maybe three tracks played then the sound just stops. I look at the player & its still playing just no sound. I press pause then resume & all is well for another 3 or so tracks.

Anyone else having this problem?

Music play is fine for me! I have about 14gb worth of music on it aswell!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Toss3:
I'm having the exact same problem and depending on the amount of music I have it stops after a certain number of tracks. If you look at the little circle spinning around in the top-left corner you'll notice that the music stops playing as soon as it stops spinning. I'm guessing it's just a simple software bug so contact HTC and make sure they understand that this needs fixing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Toss3:
Have you sorted your music in any special kind of way because I sure can't figure out why the player works for some while it doesn't for others? :o

Maybe there's a limit to how many songs can be in one album or something; audio books won't work for me?

Hi guys,

I just got my HD2 today and I want to flash the ROM before I start adjusting settings etc. I've spent the past 90 mins reading these forums and I am afraid I'm going to have to ask some n00by questions.

- does the guide for official ROMS not cover this, as it's unofficial?

- do I need to buy this "gold card" thing, or will standard micro-SD cut it?

- if I need to buy said card, is that only for unofficial ROMs?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ultraslan:
This is an offical rom.

I flashed it by using gold card method in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591314 thread..

unofficial ROMs can only be flashed after making hardSPL your device, but currently hardSPL for our device is being developed.

If you've got a SIM free HD2, you can use official ROMs without goldcard. If it's SIM locked, you need to use the goldcard method.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] anja31:
This is a real HTC rom - otherwise you could not flash it by goldcard

but shure is leaked - so there is no changelog

after a few days now:

- sms bug is gone

- sense music player is fine for me - with 25 albums

- lockscreen is like it should be

- battery live is much better - 2 days in normal use

- the pink camera bug is still there, but with less pink

- the hole rom feels more snappy @ all

- gsm reception is quit good

- loudspeaker sounds a little bit better

- typing with keyboard also a bit better

the two new hotfixes are in the rom!!! Do not install it - no need

- no more new bugs for me so far accept of the little diss fitting phonecanvas

HTC is on the right way with this

@ xannitech - this is not a placebo rom - you are right only 4 pakets are new - but take a look to the oem drivers/high :)

regards and have fun

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
It is not completely true.

Even if you have a sim unlocked HD2, it will be CID locked.

So, a device purchased in certain region for ex:UK, can be only flashed with another UK ROM only.

If it need to be flashed with another region ROM or another language ROM, it still needs Gold card.

Yes thats right, if you reboot and hold vol down button it should bring up screen. Something must be going wrong with the image. I had similar problems so I started again sent for new image etc in sequence I posted using QMAT for everything.

Hmm..my way is kinda weird. Not sure why it works, and no idea if anything wrong is done.

My phone is sim-free uk version.

First i tried the method in the first post of the tutorial thread, i faced the problem of having to reformat card after reboot. Then i tried Sickboy6th's method.

Until the last step when i have to reboot in bootloader, my phone stayed in the colour screen, and there's no option to write rom whatsoever.

Having no idea what to do next, i soft reset my phone, and connect my phone to pc via activesync and i tried flashing using RUU. And it works!

I didn't follow the correct steps posted, so i'm not sure if what i did was fine or not.. lol
