[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Starfury:
from what I remember reading if you apply a stock rom update to your phone it will reset the entire OS (including that file obviously) and the radio stack.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dugald5:
Thanks for the advice starfury. It just that after weeks of getting my ohone just how I like it I don't want to have to start from scratch again. :(

Any ideas how I could fix this without having to do a hard reset?

Great stuff, thanksa a lot! I was a bit scared about the CustomRUU might overwrite my ROM as well judging from the writings in the box. Luckily it wasn't to be.

Now I'm a happy man with the latest radio ROM with the main ROM untempered!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
In my opinion, the 2.06.51.07 radio seems to use more battery than the one I had before (Can't remember which one but it would be the default one that came with 1.48 WWE)

I seem to get a slightly better signal of about 1 bar increase in most places.

When I first upgraded the Radio the battery seemed to last forever. However, after using it for a few days it now seems to be quite a bit worse. At first I thought it might be that I left the Data connected all the time using Direct Push GMail. So I turned that off but it still seems pretty rubbish :(

I really did think they'd cracked it with this one at first but now I'm a bit sad.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 0Reefa:
Tested all the radios and most of the custom roms, I've managed to get the longest battery life using the following:

Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07 **(from HTCWT 1.61):

Topix 1.1.2

Tried it with HD2 version of WMLongLife and this enabled me to use the device for a full day without needing a recharge in between.

I use my HD2 for work so I use push mail, watch videos on the tube to and from work (30 minutes either way), make phone calls during the day ranging from 30 seconds to 5 minutes and squeeze in some web browsing + download of weather every 3 hours.

I think I'll stick with this combo for now, everything seems to be working as it should!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BarrySumpter:
HD2 version of WMLongLife, I believe, leaves your phone is Airplane Mode.

Please be sure to read all posts and issues regarding this update before using.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Starfury:
Disable the 3G/H whilst you dont need high-speed data access and you'll find the battery will last a lot longer.

Also try re-calibrating the "estimated remaining charge" circuit of the battery by draining the battery to 0%-1% and then fully charging it with the phone off. Might need to do it a couple times but it should more accurately display battery levels.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
I'll try what you said about charging etc, cheers.

But I did say in my previous post I already tried turning data off.

However, for me this isn't really an option. What's the point of having a really cool phone then having to turn all it's features off to get any kind of battery life out of it. :eek:

Having push email/syncing calendar is a must have feature in my opinion. I don't mind having all the other things like weather/twitter etc on a manual update basis cos it doesn't take a second to retrieve the latest info for them when you actually need it but I really want the push mail and calendar sync features. I don't think it's too much to ask cos the iPhone (spit) and BlackBerry (spit) can do it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Starfury:
The Blackberry 8900 has a good battery life on it, but the iPhone is as bad as the HD2.

My comment about turning off 3G/H when you dont need broadband style speed wasn't saying to turn off data, just reduce the speed its downloaded at because most of the data features on the HD2 dont honestly need 3G/H level speeds.

What I was trying to say was tha data transfer uses less battery on GPRS than 3G and both GPRS and 3G use waaaay less battery than HSDPA/HSUPA, also voice calls on UMTS(3G) use more battery life than on GSM(2G) and the call quality is practically identical.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vh202:
I have the Telstra (850mhz UMTS) version of the HD2, ive flashed Freyberrys rom over and it no longer recognizes a SIM.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DN41:
the radios with .51 does NOT support the full 570MB RAM, only the european likely ~480mb. if you want a radio with the full ram, choose one with .50

DN41
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dso371:
No I don't like it.

It was just as bad as the other ones. I live in West London. So I then flashed 2.06.51.07 which works like a charm. I even get a 3G signal in the house, which none of the others did.

Trouble is, the radio that came with the stock 1.66 ROM is 2.06.51.27, a slightly later build, which isn't listed at the start of the thread and I don't have it any more! I don't remember how it compares to .07. But .07 is good where I live (using Vodafone), so it'll do for now.

Moral of the story: the stock ROM comes with its own particular radio *for a reason*. D'oh.

Hey guys

I'm trying to update my radio to 2.10.50.28_2 but there's a problem when I do it. I basically get a message in the RUU process saying it's going to update the phone with 2.00.911.1 instead of 2.10.50.28_2, even though that's the file I downloaded.

I searched on here and found one reference to this basically saying that they don't always display the correct filename within RUU when you flash the radio, but I tried this one already and it caused a hard reset and didn't update the radio. Am I doing something wrong? I've flashed other radio roms no problem, but for some reason the one version I really want to use just doesn't seem to work!

Exhibit A:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:

HSPL3 has messed up my Bluetooth mac address.

Update: I downgraded to original HSPL, that resolved the Bluetooth mac address issue.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
I'd say it's the radio that did that. HSPL only changes the code of the bootloader, which in no way interferes with software functions, as it runs only at boot time and once it's done, it's not used anymore.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
there's an android hd2 forum now, you should direct your specific enquiries there.

Radio version causing BSOD????

I just found out something, I think.

I have the HD2 T85T85 from T-mobile US with the July 21st Energy CHT Dinik Rom and the 2.12.50.02_2 Radio.

I use dan1j3l - Froyo v1 + the Cotulla zImage from the 23rd (latest 25th is not compatible with my display) + the patched rootfs (to allow data connections).

It's been running great with almost no issues at all, very smooth, responsive, etc.

The phone calls sound quality is not very good so i tried Radio 2.10.50.26 and as soon as I did that I got the BSOD all the time.

The phone would boot fine but as soon as the screen was off, it wouldn't wake up when turning it back on.

I changed the radio back to 2.12.50.02_2 and everything is fine....

So anyway if anyone has the BSOD issue try 2.12.50.02_2, the battery life is much better too. Only issue is the phone call sound quality but I think it's the OS not the radio's fault.

Here's the link to the radio in case someone needs it:

Thanks for the headsup. I try to use 2.10.50.26 radio to MattcLEO RC1.2 build and it gets robotic sounds...

I am now trying to use the 2.12.50.2_2 radio but I have never done it before and I have been looking for tutorial very hard without luck...

Would anyone just give me a simple guide on how to flash radio only?

My guess is (having HSPL3 already):

1. Power off, then press volume Down and power button to get into bootloader

2. connect USB, run the customruu.exe

3. before running the customruu.exe, place the correct radio.nbh file together with the customruu.exe within the same folder

4. Let it does its thing and whoola~

Am I correct? Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hieutran:
you realize the instruction are on the first page right?

For installing a RADIO ROM you need HardSPL installed to your device.

Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU: it won't hardreset your device.

hi, my uncle has an htc hd2 in french and asked me to change it to dutch.

1st of al i find it stupid from htc that this is not possible on a normal / legal way.

so i started to google and found this wonderfull site !!!

i did the Hspl with ease and installed :

_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship

now i have a problem with this rom i installed.

when i call to some1 the ringtone makes strange sounds and the person on the other side can not hear me, when i hang up and want to try again the phone hangs and i have to hard reset it.

what i have done is installed :

Leo_RADIO_15.36.50 .07U_2.09.51.03

and on 1st testing it looks fine

i would like to konw if others had similar problems and if that solved the problem.

coz i`m only staying for a few day with my uncle so i don`t have time for testing it a lot.

tnx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
indeed, silly policy to find excuses in software modifications in order to void warranty.

Anyway, since you're installing an "unsupported" rom on your device even if it's the stock dutch, you may as well install a stable custom rom, such as Artemis, which is one of the few sporting a dutch version and with a very-close-to-stock phylosophy. Anyway, you would need to install back SPL and flash a supported rom if your uncle needs to send the leo for servicing. Regarding the radio, as long as you stick with the one recommended by the chef you should be covered.

Im having problems changing my radio. I want to install the chucky gtx rom and it tells you to install HSPL and Radio for the rom. Well i installed the HSPL 2.08 HSPL not the 2.08.0000 if that matters.

Now when i try to install the radio 2.11.50.26 im having problems. Currently my radio is a 2.10.531.1

I downloaded the radio and try to install it. Everything seems to go fine but just when the progress bar looks like its about to go to 1% it stops and says there is an error. Then it proceeds to try to make a recover and involves me taking out the battery and seeing if it will boot up. This cycle just continues!

I also tried it another way. I downloaded the customRUU program and tried to rename the radio file to RUU_Signed.nbh then install it. I put the 2 files in the same folder but when i do that the program tells me that my device is not usb or active sync connected when it is.

I'm totally new to both winmo and Htc, so i'm really having a hard time figuring out which radio-update-link i should take.... can anyone help?!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
since it's got .50.* in it's version number, it definitely should support 576MB of ram, hence TMOUS devices. Unless you cannot open your bootloader anymore, I think maybe something else went wrong and you just think the phone is bricked while it isn't. What happened exactly?

if you're so "behind" with reading then you should avoid trying android for the time being.

There are hundreds of posts in these forums which explain what to do and how in order to have android running (plus everything else you need to know anyway), and you didn't spend a few minutes to read them, so it doesn't really makes much sense for someone else to spend his own time to explain it personally to you :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
sorry to correct you, but radios

RE: Problem using custom RUU to flash Radio

if you are having issue's using the custom ruu utility to flash the radio

what you can do is, download the desired radio rom you want, and rename it to LEOIMG.NBH and copy on the root of your SD/SDHC CARD,

once copied, turn the phone off and hold down the volume control the one that reduces the volume button and press the power button and it will take you the screen saying ready to flash to new radio and press power button to flash.
