nvm

Got it to work using different steps.

For anyone who had same the same problem :

- Download radio .rar file

- extract to a folder on the desktop

- Next put the CustomRUU.exe inside that folder and run it

The customRUU will guide through some steps
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
you don't really need it.

Just flash an original rom upgrade file from htc website using the microsd card method, it will restore SPL, radio and rom to stock.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DKCN:
same question

I'd like to know that too. I installed the same Rom and i do notice the battery drain is way faster. Even if it isn't the best radio rom, some feedback on the drain of their current radio rom would be helpful. thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sarngate:
Having a problem flashing a Radio at the moment. I run CustomRUU and it goes all the way to the install screen with the progress bar, it then reboots the phone and brings up HSPL but then it just hangs and gives me a connection error every time.

I'm running a 1.66 ROM if that matters. Help please !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
change USB posts, dont use ports mounted in teh casing of teh pc, only use one around back.

ALso, go into bootloader manually first, wait for serial to become USB and then run customruu

hi everyone, i've read a lot of threads and posts about which radio to flash and i dont want to sound stupid but i cant figure out exactly which one to flash for my phone. sorry if this is a noob question but i just want to make sure to flash the correct radio.

my hd2 is from hong kong and it is currently running 1.72.831.1 (82124) WWE rom with 2.07.51.22_2 RADIO version. it also has 448mb RAM and 512mb FLASH if that helps.

my question is, which radio version can i flash? does it have to be a radio that ends with .51? and which radio would be the best to flash.....the 2.12 one or the 2.10 one?

thanks in advance!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
you can flash any radio. Only tmous users have to be careful.

If you flash a cooked rom with 576ram enabled, then you need a radio with ..50.. in the version.

As to which is best, no one can tell you, one that works great for me may suck for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CaponiND:
You have non TMOUS device (512MB flash), so you can flash any radio you want :-)

Diffrerence between .50 and .51 is that .50 are for TMOUS devices, but they work on "european" devices also and if you use those radios together with most custom ROM's, you'll get 576MB RAM for your disposition :-)

Actually, most custom ROMs need .50 radios and with .51 and custom ROM your device may not even boot.

Which version exactly is the best for you, you need to find yourself, because different radios act differently with different service providers and usage scenarios.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tianzi:
oh wow thanks for replying so fast guys. it's a relief that that i can flash any rom, so i tried to flash the 2.10 rom as found on the first page, and i followed the instructions (extract the rom file, rename it, put it in the same folder as the customruu tool and follow instructions), and it worked well until it got to the actual flashing part. it got to the htc screen with the progress bar, but it just stayed at 0% for the entire time. then after about 10 minutes, the customruu tool told me that there was an update error and told me to restore. i just unplugged it and did a soft reset and everything was back to normal, but im confused as to why it happened or what i can do to successfully flash the radio?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] padibuz:
Hi guys,

A few quick questions:

I'm running on a stock 1.48 WWE ROM, using 2.05 Radio. I'm about to flash to a newer version (dying to try out Android), and I just want to confirm: it WON'T hard reset my device, correct ?. I know that if I flash a new rom, all data is lost. Hopefully, flashing just the radio circumvents that problem :)

The reason for this is that my e-mail is synced with my workplace exchange server, and I need a authenticity certificate from the dude in charge, and that takes ages. No backup software that I know of can save that information, so I can't back up my phone, just in case.

Question number 2: what happens with the hotfixes from HTC ? I have a few installed: the sms update, the navipanel update, and the music album thing. Will they still "work", or be disabled by the new radio ?

Thanks !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CaponiND:
First just a note - you can flash any radio, but not any ROM, but i hope you understood that we (I and samsamuel) were talking about ANY RADIO :-)

And now about flashing procedure - to flash any custom ROM or radio first you need HSPL on your device - did you do that? If yes, I've read that sometimes trying different USB port on your PC helps (do not use those located on case's front panel)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CaponiND:
Flashing radio should not affect any your software, updates or settings - it is some piece of "hidden" software which controls your phone radios - GSM, Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS, so after changing radio you may or may not experience just better (hopefully :-)) or worse reception through those connection types and/or some changes in battery life.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tianzi:
oh sorry i meant radio for each time i said rom -_-

but it still doesn't work. i have hspl on my phone, the version is 1.66 i think. and i tried different usb ports but it doesn't work for some reason. the progress bar just stays at 0% and then it says update error. am i doing anything wrong? i didn't take out my sd card/sim card, but is that necessary?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CaponiND:
Of course, you can try taking out your cards (it is recommended step, but in most cases it is not necessary). Then maybe you can check your SPL version (it must have HSPL at the end of number, digits in front are not so important, any HSPL version should work). And the last thing I can think about - Task29, but if it is the first flash you're going to do, I don't think it is

necessary step...

Sorry, but I don't know what to suggest more - as I remember I didn't have any problems flashing with any of PDA's I had - just followed instructions and everything was fine :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Petulinek:
Rename Radio flashfile to Leoimg.nbh and flash from SD. But backup first your data , because it hardresets your device
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
i think you think you have hspl installed but don't

go into boot loader and look where it says spl

if it says 1.66.0000 then it is stock. it must end .hspl to be hspl(many people run hspl and choose one ending 0000 by mistake.)

no it won't. changing radio doesn't cause a hard reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Petulinek:
Flashing from PC doesnt, from SD does ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
i've just done it to check, and no, it doesn't hard reset when you flash a radio from sd card. I did it twice, to be sure.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Riley87:
This may sound strange, and to me it makes no sense.

I just flashed my Telstra (Aus) phone with the "Leo_RADIO_15.37.50.07U_2.10. 50.08_2 ** (from KR_1.74.911.2" Radio.

Issue is:

Telstra numbers can receive my message, Optus can receive my messages.

"Three" numbers can't receive my messages.

I can make calls to "Three" phones.

Any ideas? Is it possible for me to downgrade the radio again if this is the issue?

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] grega_slo:
Yes you can downgrade radio.

Radio rom Bouygues France

Tried most of the radio roms in the list above the latest standard Bouygues release 2.06.51.07.

What is strange is that my correspondant has a clear voice and I have a noice when my correspondant says something. Depending on the version it is stronger or weaker. It occures with the 50 and 51 versions.

The standard ROM of Bouygues has not this problem.

Besides that the 2.10.50.28.2 has problems with the Bluetooth connection. It appears that the end of call is not properly transfered so the connected system hangs.

Has anyone faced the same issues?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PeeHoo:
I've had HUGE problem with 2.12.50 radio. Sometimes it ends calls and what it worst thing: after those call ends it doesn't found carrier singal anymore. Typically it needs "ten" resets, battery offs and so on when it finds signal again...

Trying 2.11. radio....

Apologies posted in another thread before I found this one.

Can't get my radio to work at all. Using suppplied headphones on a T-mobile UK HTC HD2, radio version 2.50 build 1919.4027. Spinning colours for about 10 seconds, then it exits.

How do I fix this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
You question is not clear in my opinion, maybe you want to rephrase a little :)

Maybe you mean the radio as in FM radio? In that case I cannot help you as I've never ever used it since february when I bought this phone, but probably describing the problem with more details will let the other people who know more than me about it, to help you better ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] shorty083:
Didn't have this problem with 2.12.50, but the echo during calls was unbearable.

After I stopped talking I could still hear myself for 4 to 6 seconds after.

I changed to 2.11.50 yesterday. Will give this one a better chance, since I only used this one for 2 days a few weeks ago,

after which I had a complete discharge from 80% battery to 0%,

in only 4 hours during the night in standby mode with all programs shut off.

Hopefully that was a one time occurrence.

Hi all!

yesterday i've flashed the original Rom Radio of my hd2 with the last version in this thread ( 2.10.50.08_2 ). This is the only one change that I've made in that phone and there 's 1.66.408 Rom on it, so no cookied rom.

From yesterday i can't open my mail in any manner, either in the rapid link or choosing in email folder on the start menu.

It's a bug of that Rom Radio's version or i'm the only one with that issue?

Suitable Ratio version for Hong Kong HD2 User?

Dear the friendly developers,

I am a HD2 user in Hong Kong and I am using the official rom offered by HTC. The ROM is fine. However, since the Android development for HD2 is growing very fast and thus I hope to try it in my lovely HD2. The developer mentions that we have to use radio 2.10 or above for their developed android interface. Therefore, I was flashing my machine with radio 2.12 and play around with the android package (very funny ;P). But at the moment I discovered that all the radio function (bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE....and wifi) doesn't work in the android environment (although the developer said it is available....) but then nevermind I guess it was just the incompleted version and it is fine........ However, when I reset and back to the window mobile environment....I discovered that not only in the android environment but also in the window mobile, all the ratio service (except the phone call) doesn't work again..... then I realized that it should be the problem of the radio version which I am using (2.12.51xxxxx). Therefore, I remove all the unofficial stuff >> remove the HSPL >> flashing back the official .nbh file and install again the official rom with radio 2.07.51XXXX) my machine return to health again.....

Since I really desire to play android with my lovely HD2 again, ... I am ok to flashing any unofficial stuff but I also hope that everything is still working ....

Does any body knows the problem ?? perhaps I should use the right radio version but ... I read many many post and doesn't find any hints so far.....

Please help!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BumAround:
reason #1 Android is not mature yet. btw, which Android build you're playing around with?

reason #2 When you flash back to Windows Mobile, you didn't really clean up the Android traces of installation. How did you go back to the windows mobile (before the official .nbh)? Did you only re-flash over the previous installations?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
I don't know if it's the best place to discuss radio roms for android, isn't there any thread for "leo radio roms under android"?

Anyway, if you couldn't use wifi and bt under WM as well with the same radio 2.12 you tryed under android, why not trying a different radio under android as well? 2.10 for example instead of 2.12. Also keep in mind that the lowest radio rom version useable with android builds for leo, according to the devs, is 2.08, not 2.10 ;) You have a wider range to try from.

Anyway, probably you're better off always doing task29 *before* flashing a new OS rom to the device.

you can install any radio in your regular leo. no one can tell you which will be best, , if you read you will see that a radio that gives person A excellent reception and great battery, gives person B terrible reception and abysmal battery.

personally, on o2 in yorkshire, my preferred radio is 2.07.50.x, but 2.12 also seems ok, but my brother, 30 miles away also on o2 finds 2.12 drops calls, and gets about 5 hours less standby than i do with same radio.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
basically, it depends on your carrier's coverage. At the best of my knowledge, no radio comes out with an official "changelog" ;) They are just released for different geographic areas by HTC, then it's up to the single users to flash them "as unsopported software" to test their performance.

Usually tho, for what it pertains to wifi, bt and gps connectivity, the quality is somewhat constant on the same radio version no matter of your location... for obvious reasons :p

The sticky threads tell me to go here:

For more information about compatible Radios go *HERE* (link to this thread).

But I surely can't find any info on the compatibility of the radios.

Could someone please point me where I can find more info on which radio when (not) to use?

It has something to do with TMOUS, something with (not) having 576Mb memory, and something with ROMS. I guess. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
:p

what do you need to know exactly?

Rule of thumb anyway is:

1) For tmous roms, you can only install radios that have 2.*.50.* in their version number, if you install radios that have *.51 you WILL render useless your phone. Radios with *50* in their version number are the only one able to activate the 576MB of ram, which is useless anyway, since tanks to the stupid virtual memory architecture of WM core 5 you will not be able to actually use all that amount

2) For non tmous roms, you can flash the radios that you prefer, doesn't matter *50* or *51*, even if nowadays all custom roms are based on tmous

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
the answers to your questions are all over this thread... with an EU rom you can install basically whatever radio you prefer, but you need to install HSPL first. Choose one that ends with ".HSPL".

Also you do NOT need to hard reset.

So

1) Install HSPL

2) Open bootloader

3) connect usb cable and wait that is says "USB" on the bootloader

4) copy the radio NBH file together with the CustomRUU.exe file

5) start customruu
