Dear,
Same for mine. But when I flashed my device back to the original ROM, I could upgrade it with any ROM upgrades from different providers. I think it only allows upgrading when the ROM is in its original format. BTW, I tried downgrading my device with different original ROMs from different providers and it worked my way through different upgrading versions (how risk-seeking and lucky I was!). However, consult some more threads here before you actually try it for your own device's sake

Hi everyone,
I have a stock HD2, bought it from eastern EU.
I do sms alot amongst other things but the problem is that sometimes the sms i send never reach the destination.
I did check if the other person i not out of signal and so and anything regarding signal issues and network coverage.
I activated the delivery reports and as stated sometimes the sms never gets in the air.
If anyone had the same problem or knows a fix for this issue i would be much obliged.
Regards
P.S. sometimes if i don't get a delivery report with delivered or any at all, i restart the phone (turn off, back on) and i do recieve the reports and the sms are sent.
Sometimes not, like at the moment...
Whats your ROM version? Any updates or patches applyd?
Thank you for your post!
Excuse me for i really forgot to mention my ver and so on.
OS 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Ver 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE
Rom date - 18.11.2009
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
The only updates i made to the software were the ones on the oficial htc web page.
No updates to the ROM because for my serial number none could be applied.
I am very new to the WM world so i didnt want to make any changes to the phone that would result in an expensive brick
Hope this will help you help me,
Regards
there should be an official update for the sms prob om the htc forum. also i strongly suggest updating your ROM to atleast 1.66 stock (or a custom one)
Thanks for the reply,
Problem is that i did try the official HTC update for the sms application.
Also i did try to update my ROM from the official site but when asked to enter my serial number it prompted me that the update is not suitable for my phone.
Kind of scared to update the ROM as my noobish self could brick the phone by doing something idiotic.
Also i wouldnt know wich of the milions of ROMS out there is recomended for my type of phone.

The reason is because all the mobile operators add their own personalisation to the ROM (ie T-Mobile will have Web'n'Walk in the ROM). So not to step on the mobile companies modifications, HTC will only give their ROM updates to unbranded phones (this is done through the serial number). To get the ROM update from the operator you need to go to their website.
Personally I would go to the ROM section on here and follow the instructions in install the 1.66 standard ROM. Please read the instructions and just not go straight to the download area. The 1.72 ROMs are the 1.66 ROM with mobile company branding.
Thank you for the reply,
I am going to do just that, thanks also for clearing the ROM issue for me.
Trying to install ROM 1.66 then.
Hope i will manage to
Got an HD2 TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) branded with ROM 1.72.901.1 and Radio 2.07.51.22_2. TIM lock was removed by someone else and first I installed Artemis 4.5 but it was really sluggish so I downloaded stock 3.14 version from HTC and installed it which brought the system back to regular Win with logo on top (Artemis had it at the bottom). ROM was
_HTCHD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_ITA_3.14.408.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
What I noticed is that the radio is not what is on the above link but instead has remained the old one 2.07.51.22_2.
Shouldn't the ROM upgrade have changed the radio too with the new one (2.15.50.14 in this case)?
In either case Android on the SD card did not work and the phone gets stuck at the black screen with the really tiny lines of text. I tried a few of the major builds of Android with the same results.
Since Clearcad removes windows from memory the version of Windows should not matter and the only thing left is the radio but can it block the loading of Android or could it be the fact that it was a carrier (TIM) branded phone (can't really imagine that the carrier has had HTC make specific hardware mods to screw up changes to it)?
I have downloaded the 2.15.50.14 radio by itself but when I tried to install it the SSPL program tell me that it wants to replace the existing ROM 3.14 with this so I stopped. If I continue will the radio upgrade just replace the radio section or will it replace everything? Tried to look at other posts but everyone is different and couldn't find a situation similar to mine.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks
Paolo
Sounds like problem after problem mate!
For sure, you do need to upgrade the radio. 2.07.xxxxx is just too old. It needs to be at least 2.08.50 (not 51), but I would strongly recommend the one you talk about yourself (2.15.50).
Flashing just the radio will not erase anything on your phone. Only a ROM flash will do that.
i had the same problem running android on my hd2............then i update my radio version to 2.12 then it worked.........
Thanks
Thanks guys
I was afraid the radio might have been the culprit.
Given the info in my original post above can you tell me what I should do and which program I should use to flash the new radio trying to minimize the risk to brick the thing and should I re-install the ROM afterward ?
Why the ROM upgrade did not take care of the radio upgrade in the first place?

The ROM upgrade should have upgraded the radio at the same time. If it's not big deal to you, I'd flash the ROM again to see if it has any effect.
No changes
reinstalled official 3.14 but radio stays at 2.07.51.22_2
Still don't know what is the program to install new radio and if I risk bricking the phone doing it. It seems strange that it doesn't allow the upgrade from within the rom.
Now I need to look for rom 1.72.901.1 to go back to the origins.
Suggestions on best way to install new radio is appreciated.

"you can not flash via fastboot any official rom with different signature from the original one for your phone"
is this true regarding flashing???
Not sure...what rom are you trying to flash via fastboot?
no, its not the problem with me. actually i noticed many times here in razr flashing question about mismatched ROM and they are advised to check for their own region ROM only. i want advise regarding this only for precaution, as i had successfully flashed many EU ROM, a Brasil version, FTS 2.3 ROM, and ARctic one without any region mismatch problem. That's why to be on safer side, i want to know this so to avoid any future soft/hard brick problem.
I have flashed Artic, as well as a Brazilian ROM with success.

that's what i want to confirm. if theres so many people out there with having problem with flashing other regions ROM, and some of us are flashing different ROM with success, so if any DEV want to pin-point here whats exactly going on here with our RAZR. If we are so lucky having such 'unique' razrs or they are some unlucky ones having some not so 'unique' one.
DEV's help needed here.
I am looking to flash a ROM to my SGS3 but have to start again as a noob.
I have used mskips tool to root the phone ( i think ) In the tools menus it gives an option to download a stock ROM from samsung-roms i think and it gives some different versions that end in:
XXALE8
XXALEF etc, etc
What do these refer to and how do i find what is suitable for me/most up to date.
My carrier is T-Mob UK and the letters from my Device Info page is BVALE4...not sure it is the same thing yet but im guessing so. I am first looking to try a stock/rooted ROM and then i will probably move up to custom stuf once my knowledge grows a little...along with my confidence. Any pointers welcome.

ps Hi to J0SH another Hull member
Hi guys, need a working link for 2.3.5 gingerbread uk stock rom I9100BUKJ3_I9100VODKI2_VOD.zip
or 2.3.5 on o2 or unbranded uk stock 2.3.5
I need to repair my imei/efs folder with a Z3X box, and the firmware needs to be on 2.3.5, and no i have no backup of the efs folder.
tried sammobile and android firmwares but no luck
thanks.
If Samfirmware, AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-Updates.com don't have what you want, you're SOOL.
You won't find it anywhere else, the chances of someone reading this who coincidentally has a copy handy these days is zero given how few people read/post here - there's a fair chance you'll be sitting there in a month & probably won't even get another reply to this thread (and the reason for that is as above; those 3 places are the only places you're going to source a 3 yr old firmware for a 3yr old phone).
Besides, why do you think need that particular firmware ? I'm not seeing why you can't use any other firmware for your country/carrier. If I were in your situation, I'd be investigating that one, otherwise you probably won't be fixing it.
Its whats recommended on gsmforum in the z3x repair guide forum.
Thanks.

I'd be checking the date of whatever you're reading. Are you sure it's not dated around the time this phone was released ? If it is, that would explain why that firmware is recommended (may well have been the only firmware available at the time).
Essentially, firmware is firmware, the differences between them are minimal - only differences are the modems, and carrier-specific 'crapware'. The kernels are sometimes a little different depending on date of release (maybe different Linux kernel version), but the main differences happen when you're talking about roms with different Android versions (GB-ICS-JB). Even then, I'm not seeing why you need a specific firmware for an EFS repair/IMEI re-write.
Up to you what you do, but as I said, expect to still be looking for this firmware weeks from now if you insist you need that & only that one.
Used 123unlock to repair imei,
tried with 4.1.2 firmware, didn't work managed to find an o2 2.3.5 gingerbread firmware and it worked first time imei now repaired.
Check out 123unlock if you get stuck with no imei and no efs backup, it worked for me, but it cost me €21 to use their online repair server.
