Hi,
I posted a query on here a while ago re the above.
I have since downgraded back to 1.72 but the bluetooth is that awful I have gone up to 2.02 again.
I have downloaded the HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR file and unzipped it but how does this become the extended rom?
I have read the thread suggested by "edsub" and tried to upgrade with a MS_.NBF from the 1.72 package but I am still showing no extended rom.
I also took TPDisable out of the config.txt but my Himalaya still locked and needed to be reset.
Is this the reason as I guess the extended rom applications do not get chance to load?
Lastly I have never been able to get a bluetooth microphone to work with this firmware!Any Ideas?
Cheers
did you unlock the ExRom before trying to install a new one. There is a good util found on the forums that unlocks the ExRom and unhides it, maybe thats what you need to do first

Hi there, I've done the classic mistake of flashing the wrong Radio software on my Wallaby and now I can't get back to 4.16. I've tried installing Rom 1.1 which works fine, but I cant get the Radio upgrade (downgrade!) to go past 1%. I've read loads of pages on the forum that are similar to this and tried about 5 hours worth of 'cures' but nothing has worked so far. Any insight to this disaster would be appreciated.

Ok, done the V1.1 upgrade, though I cannot figure out how to use the OSimage tool. The V1.1 software contains no files that I can select from the drop down menu. I installed it via USB. It appears to be ok. That was the good news...
The bad news is that I still can't get past 1% on the radio upgrade (V4.16 ppc)!
Any ideas?-Am I missing something?-A brain maybe-I'm totally lost here.
Cheers folks.

I have the same problem. I installed the special ROM 1.1 and after charging the batterz to 100% I still can't get across the 1% point of upgrading the Radio Stack 4.16. It always fails.
Hi there,
I have just managed to to install Radio version 3.17 :shock: (which is no use to me in the UK) to see if I can install anything. It seems the only radio stack I can't install is the UK one! I cannot find anything in the forums that works and I reckon I've done nearly everything now.
Thanks,
Stevie.
Well i've installed wpbear's wm6 rom package last week, with the LSVW wm 6 rom and the 1.34 radio, but i wanted to go back to WM5 so i extracted the OS from the cingular rom and installed it.
Everything went ok and the phone works ok, but i have to skip the extended rom install, because it first installes the old extended rom (i dont know if its still there from the factory or if its there from the LSVW rom) anyway when i mount and unlock my extended rom i can browse and edit it, but i only see the 'new' extended rom.. anyone else experienced this an know how i can remove the 'old' extended rom?
thanks alot
btw i read alot of wiki and did alot of searching but i could not find a problem similar to the one i have..
Hi Experts,
I got some problem to upgrade my Hermes to the most recent 1.51 radio module.
Previously, it's shipped with rom 1.2. I flashed hard-spl V7 later, and managed to upgrade the radio to 1.41 last week. Today, I tried to upgrade it to 1.51, however, one strange thing was the flash progress bar went very slow, fortunately, it completed at last. However, when the phone rebooted, I found the radio remains at 1.41~~~~~
What's the problem with that? Any more information needed?
Thanks in advance.
that proplem with me need help plz
Can anybody help us out?
Your input would be much appreciated.
Guys,
I guess the reason why no one has responded is because there are a number of options you can take to solve this problem. Most (I think) are in the wiki, hence no response.
Take some time out to do a search on Radio Upgrade problems and see what comes up.
WB
Dear WB,
Thanks for your reply. Actually, I have already read the Wiki pages. Maybe I missed some of them. However, I cannot find a solution to it.
Thanks,
Jiayi
@Jiayiw
i recommend you to read and read and read and then upgrade roms and radios that some other users used and had no problems with them , coz your device can be simply bricked like mine if you install a bad or corrupted rom into it .
good luck

It just occurred to me that, after I flashed the radio to the 1.41, it upgrades my HTC boot to 0182....
So, there is no way to flash the radio with the HTC boot version 0182?
Also, the Radio 1.41 rom is downloaded from the wiki......
Have you tried flashing another radio version like 1.47, to see if that works? You tried downloading 1.51 froma differennt source eg here>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323957?
WB
Thanks WB,
The problem is related to the HTC boot in my Hermes, it's 0182 already, I am not sure why it got upgraded after my flashing last time.
Anyway, I am seeking the method to flash the radio with HTC boot at 0182.
Ok. I'm updated to DCD 3.0.1, with radio version 3.35.04. Everything appeared to be just fine up till I tried to install programs. It will NOT install anything from memory card anymore, and multiple programs I've tried to install from the main memory give me the Installation of "whatever program" was unsuccessful. The last one that I tried to install was Geoscout. I talked to the people that created the program, and there should be no problems installing it on this version of windows Mobile.
Any ideas why I can't install anything?
Please let me know before I dump this project.
I guess I'm out 3 for 3 on here. Suppose this is an uncommon problem considering no one's talking about it. Back to factory stuff I go. Thanks for all the responses.

How did you upgrade?
I'm not sure what your asking. I used Olipro 1.20, flashed the new Radio rom, flashed DCD 3.0.1, then flashed back to olipro 2.40. I used the instructions that DCD posted. This isn't the first rom I have used from DCD. I have been following the Custom roms for about 2 months or so now, and have kept up with them. I have never had memory card or installation issues. I talked to the manufacturer of Geoscout, and they said it is compatable with 6.1. I also need Compact .net framework 2.0 on here which I have. So I'm lost.
You just confirmed to me that you did not flash "correctly." When I say correctly, I mean how others are doing it problem free. These are dcd's instructions:
1. If you have not already done so, run the 2.40-olipro unlocker. Your device will again be left in tri-color screen.
2. Flash the official sprint 3.35 update.
3. When the device boots for the first time, do not pass screen calibration. Flash a 3.x.x ROM.
Now, I'm not saying the problems you are having are caused by how you flashed, but I do know that most everyone that flashed the way you did are having major issues.
Let me know what happens.
Hello everyone, hopefully you can help me figure out what's wrong with my HD2.
.:BACKGROUND INFO:.
I bought a used TMoUS HD2 a couple months ago and it was working fine up until last month. At first, it would freeze and I would have to do a battery pull, but as time went on, it froze more and more often. One day, I think it froze around 20 times in a row. Eventually, I let the phone sit without the battery for a few minutes before I tried booting it again. When it did boot, I figured maybe there's something wrong with the software, so I did a hard reset. After the hard reset, the phone will boot into the desktop and then freeze (If I'm lucky) or sometimes it will just freeze on the T-Mobile "Stick Together" screen. I tried flashing a the stock ROM and it would always stop at 8%.
I've always used the stock ROM since I got the phone, not sure if the previous owner flashed it before, but it does have HSPL 2.08. The only thing I've done to the phone are the registry tweaks I got from these forums. Here's a list of applications I installed to my HD2:
Chainfire 3D Driver Update
Co0kie's Home Tab
appelflap HTCRamDisk
ATT WAP MEdiaNet and MMS Settings
Band Switch V2.8 Auto Disconnect Data
Battery Increment Display 1.66 ROMs
CleanRAM
ClearTemp v1.3.1
GoogleMaps
JayVee Disable Clock Flip
Long Press Send Key Alt Tab
RAMDisk Opera Cache
TCPMP v2 Video Audio Player
TX Opera Mobile 10 Flash Support
WM Long Life 0.66. 0302
Not sure if this is relevant or not, but the last thing I remember installing was Co0kie's Home Tab before the freezing started.
.:HD2 SPECS:.
OS Version: 5.2.21892 [21892.5.0.89]
Manila Version: 2.5.20121412.2
Rom Version: 2.13.531.1 [90963] WWE
Rom Date: 04.28.10
Radio Version: 2.10.50.26
Protocol Version: 15.39.50.07W
.:THINGS I'VE TRIED:.
Flashing a Custom ROM via USB will stop randomly at different percentages depending on which ROM I flash. I've tried a few different ones.
Flashing the stock ROM
(RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship) via USB always stop at 8%.
Flashing the stock ROM
(RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship) via SD card will give me an error (RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail). I've attached a picture of this error.
Since flashing the stock ROM via SD Card gives me an error (RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail), I decided to flash a new Radio (Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14), but it gives me the same error. (I've also attached a picture of this error) I haven't tried other ones because I'm not exactly sure which ones to try and I don't want to brick my phone...if it isn't already bricked yet.
Can anyone suggest some Radio that's safe for me to try flashing for my TMoUS HD2? I'm really out of ideas on what to do besides that, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
***EDIT 1*** (01.21.11) - Tried Task29, went all the way to 100% but the phone fails to reboot. Flashing a ROM after Task29 doesn't work Also added a picture of the bootloader screen.
***EDIT 2*** (01.21.11) - Added a list of radio and ROMs I've tried flashing in post #9.
You can flash any radio with .50. in the name.......
NEVER flash a .51. these will brick your phone.
However this doesnt sound like a radio problem. The only thing I can think to suggest is to read up on "Task 29" this will completely format your device memory and should allow you to reflash a new ROM.
Best of luck........
Thanks for your reply, Conantroutman! I just tried Task29 and it was stuck at 58% the first time, and the second time it completed all the way to 100% (With a success message from my PC) but my HD2's screen just goes black instead of rebooting. After a battery pull, I tried installing the stock ROM and the same thing still happens. It stops in the middle of updating and says there's a communication error.
Any thoughts?
Sorry, the only thing left to suggest is to try the whole process again on another PC. Also try uninstalling active sync / wmdc from your PC and trying again.

No need to be sorry I really do appreciate the help! Would upgrading/downgrading the HSPL do anything?
If it stops working using the pc then try using the sd card method.
Do a search for hd2 sd card flashing and you should find out how...
Might be more lucky without the pc in the mix, especially if there are communication errors involved...
Cheers...

I've actually done that as well. The flash also fails but at least it gives me an error (which I've posted a screenshot of in my first post). Not that I know what it means though Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help me decipher it.
Just a question, did you changed previously your radio? If yes to witch one?

I've been reading up on how to flash stuff since I got the phone last year, but I never tried to flash anything until the beginning of this week. I'm not sure if the previous owner did though.
These are the radio I've tried this morning:
-2.10.50.26
-2.11.50.20
-2.11.50.26
-2.12.50.02.2
-2.14.50.04
-2.15.50.14
I used the SD card method to flash all the radios above. Some of the radios failed before the progress bar finished, but some actually went all the way. The phone doesn't reboot itself after it finishes though, so I have to do a battery pull. It doesn't seem to make a difference since I still can't flash any ROMs after I flash the radio.
And these are the ROMs I've tried to flash:
-CR192 Desire HD v6.5.3.0.9 Beta
-RUU Leo 1 5 TMOUS 2.10.531.1 Radio Signed 15.34.50.07U 2.08.50.08 2 Ship
-RUU Leo 1.5 TMOUS 2.13.531.1 Radio 15.39.50.07U 2.10.50.26 Signed LEO Ship
-RUU Leo 1.5 TMOUS 3.14.531.1 Radio Signed 15.42.50.11U 2.15.50.14 2 Ship
After leaving the battery out of the phone for a day, I tried Task29 again and managed to complete it (all the way to 100% and a proper restart) without freezing. So then I tried flashing a stock rom, but that stopped at around 8%. When I go into bootloader now, it seems that my HSPL has been removed and I'm reverted back to regular SPL.
If I decide to use Task29 again or flash a stock rom, do I need to install HSPL? Should I install HSPL first or just leave it alone and flash normally?

Yes, install the right HSPL first. Then, do task 29, then you install the correct radio, lastly you can install custom rom.
Good luck

Thanks Silverwind, I'm using HSPL3 to install HSPL 2.08, but it always fails. I can install regular SPL 2.08 perfectly fine though. I'll leave the battery out for a day and try again to see if it makes any difference.
