Hi there,
I know, there is also a special thread regarding this issue, but my question is more general:
I want to upgrade the (write protected) Ext ROM of my XDA. As I do not have an upgrade tool from o2, I've downloaded the latest upgrade from T-Mobile Germany and followed Softworkz's instructions and made my own Extended ROM.
But now I am not sure, if it will be possible to flash my XDAII with the MDAII flash utility (will be flashing the ExtRom with o2 Files only). Do I need the original o2-Sofware to flash or can I take any HTCHimalaya-Software to flash my device?
Thanks for comments...

Hi Bobopopo!
As stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6289 it's quite easy. You'll find a step-by-step How-To (in GERMAN!) here:
http://www.smartphone4u.de/xda2/tipps_tricks/extended_rom.html
And it works like a breeze! The only thing is that I don't know, whether your O2 xdaII will accept the T-Mobile ROM - but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't.
Only issue could be the Radio Stack Upgrade, but I have no problems at all with the T-Mobile Radio Stack in the O2 network.
Also I don't know of a way to backup your original ROM of the xda II - but maybe theres still the bootmanager way to back it up to an SD-Card!
Grüsse,
Klaas.
Finally flashed the ROM of my German XDAII with a German T-Mobile ROM (1.60). Has been no problem at all and I am impressed how easy it was (using ER2003edit). The only thing I have to work on is the homezone control, it is not working yet but not so important anyway.
I cooked my own ExtROM, but I think it will need some more improvement.
1. Is there any tool that further compresses the Extended ROM? (My ExtROM ist full but I would love to put some more programs inside)
2. My target is, that the XDAII will need about 5 minutes after a hard reset to install all the required software and get back the old settings. Will a backup with ActiveSync also remeber the favorits, connection settings, program settings aso.?
3. Is it possible to flash with the speed of USB 2.0? Until yet I have only tried with USB 1.1. (because I use a PCMCIA-card to provide USB 2.0 and the flashing manual says not to use an USB hub).
Thanks for some more tipps & tricks...

@bobopopo and @admiral_k
Hey, I see your are also O2 customers in germany and also have the
homezone feature of O2.
When you did the upgrade, you also upgraded the radio stack...
I think the homezone feature is linked to radio-stack, so Homezone-Control will not work with t-mobile radio-stack.
I see two options... leaving out the radio-stack upgrade or forget the homezone-control.
Could you please write your impressions if it's worth upgrading the radio-stack. Actually if have the homezone-control disable most of the time so I would not really care, but it's nice to know that i can check if I am in my homezone... ( really interessing if you surf the web via local dial-in numbers... )
regards
Alex
Until now I did not see any improvements on the Firmware of the XDAII, but the T-Mobile ROM is working fine...
Regarding the Homezone control, I am pretty sure that this has nothing to do with the radio stack (Reason: After upgrading the whole firmware, the Homezone has been indicated (after a softreset) and disappeared after the next softreset.
So I think the Homezone control is dependent on the Ext. ROM (that I cooked myself by taking some of the new T-Mobile Ext. ROM and some of the old o2 Ext. ROM). Maybe I just didn't find the right mix.
I'll post a solution as soon as I find one...
Hi guys!
I am in a simular situation, I hava MDA II with T-Mobile OS and a German O2 subscription.
I would like to add the auto config for O2, could this be done, if yes how specifically can this be done.

I have not installed it. I only downloaded it. I have no idea what is new. My guess is that the OP has not installed it either because he was sure of the language. How do I upload?
Uploaded to our FTP:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1.31.305.2_1.31.305.103_1.20.31.10_ship.zip
editing the wiki now....
Language is english (WWE), it has bootloader 1.06 which will prevent you to flash any other rom unless you have one matching your CID.
Radio version is 1.20.31.10 which seems newer than any other rom.
Still missing information about OS build / AKU, rom date, and protocol... first person flashing it please update the wiki
ROM flashed, WiKi updated.
P
Can the radio version be extracted and uploaded? Would be nice!!
English language, ugly i-mate telstra bootscreen, nothing overly exciting in build to report - still AKU 2.3.
P
i was hoping aku 3.0. i guess i'll just stay with cingular v1.31 with aku 2.6
Now all we need is for someone to crack the HTTupgrade exe so those of us on the cingular ROM with no official carrier ROM to downgrade to can upgrade to this one!

I have a trion.
so i can update with this rom but after i can update only with the rom that have my CID?
thx
With the upgrade in radio, do you think my JasJam could see an increase in battery life considering the 1.16 radio absolutely destroyed my battery life?
Its looks like all the new roms are going to be 1.06, I would like to upgrade to this, but as I don't have a way back to 1.04 I will not risk it, as I don't have an original rom to go back to.
I hope we can find a solution for the CID in the near future to help.

This rom looks the same as the one I got with my Jasjam off Telstra ( hence the boot up screen) and its dated in my device 09/08/06 this is most likely american date format.
So the rom is old
i think this rom is for Telstra users only here in australia so its no different from the original rom from imate.....it only has a few extra operator settings under Telstra provider......Telstra here in Australia are the main imate distributors......
Telstra ROM
I've had this version running on my device for 2 weeks now as I bought the Telstra iMate JasJam.
I don't know about the previous ROM, but this one is terrible; my device will crash, hang or start working in a weird manner all the time...
The most common problems so far:
-Sound stops working, will only vibrate. This happen if you switch to silent mode, when you get back to normal sound mode, it stays in silence mode until you reboot. this doesn't always happen. can't reproduce it consistently
-BT turns off by itself once in a while, you have to turn BT on in comm manager
-The most annoying: If you have a data session active (not transfering any data) and a BT connection active (like headset, GPS), then you can't receive a call. The person calling you won't even get to voicemail. it just hangs up on them. if you disconnect the data session or turn off BT then you can receive calls again
-Switching username in MSN will often make messenger crash, you have to kill the process and start it again
-Sometimes will hang for no reason: you need to press the reset button
Then you have the GUI weirdness which make you think: what did they drink the day they designed this software?
Like if you receive a SMS, it will show you an extract of it at the bottom of the screen, you'll get off the following choice:
-Reply on the left soft menu
-More on the right soft menu with the option (delete, call sender, Save as Read, dismiss)
What if I just want to read the full content in the Messaging application? you can't.
If you select Mark as Read immediately it doesn't mark the SMS as read in the messaging application and you still get the notification in the top screen. You have to do "Mark as Read" twice.
Something I miss from my symbian phone, if you have a bluetooth headset paired with a unit (or your car kit) when you answer a call using the BT headset button, the call goes to the BT headset, but if you answer using the device itself, it doesn't go on the BT. This is great if you want to take a personal call in a car for example, and don't want your passenger to hear what's going on.
On WM5, you can't control that. it aways goes to BT if the headset/handsfree is set.
When the keyboard is open, if you tap on a text field, the screen keyboard will show up (and text half of the screen). Why show a software keyboard all the time when you have a full qwerty keyboard available !? Sometimes the keyboard doesn't show up, but I'm yet to understand the logic behind it. it's not consistent
And then of course you have some inconsistencies here and there, like the device will stop working as it did 2 minutes prior. You try it again: bank it works.
I wonder if Microsoft or HTC have any QA !

Update did not work
Hi all,
I just tried to use this update however it did not work. It said something about invalid operator?? It is an Orange M3100...
Any tips?
Dave
It is the WWE update from orange; if you have a bootloader >=1.06 it will only setup on a device having a CID matching ORANGE_001 or something like that. As far as I know there are different CID for each contry, an french device will have something like Orange_203 for CID.
Upgraded ok on an M3100. - Mine was unlocked with imei-check v3 so my CID was 0 anyway, but I suspect it would have been fine.
Versions are now:
Operator version: 14.123.10.702
ROM Version: 1.23.70.2
ROM Date: 08/14/06
Radio version: 1.06.04.00
Protocol version: 32.37.7010.01H
OS Build: 14955.2.3.0
It left my bootloader at version 1.04 (possibly this could be handy for people with M3100s who have tried to install an image with bootloader v1.06?)
Interestingly though it set my CID back to HTCSORANG001 and set my privilege level back to FF, however the phone remained SIM-unlocked. I switched to a T-Mobile SIM (I have a dual-sim adaptor) and it worked fine.
Re-run imei-check v3 and it set my CID to SuperCID and priv level to 0 again.
Seems fine so far. Of course it's only been up 10 mins....
I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE ROM!~~
any links
thanks
It's still in Hermes uploads. I don't feel confident enough in it just yet to update the wiki; let's get some confirmation that it's ok.
It appears to originate from Romania btw. When I installed it my regional settings were Romanian and the PIE favourites had Romanian sites in them. Seems to work fine in English though; I had to go hunting to figure out where it was from.
I've re-installed most of my stuff now. No apparent probs so far.
Ok got everything re-installed.
Syncing mail, calendar & contacts OK. PhoneAlarm working OK. Resco Explorer OK. Tried a couple of games OK. TomTom OK. Phone calls OK. Connected to GPRS & Wi-Fi OK. Browsed the internet ok. Java apps OK. Camera OK. Citrix apps OK.
Only difference I've noticed so far is it's been trying to connect to Orange GPRS in preference to Wi-Fi. I just deleted my Orange GPRS settings, since I use my T-Mobile sim for GPRS, so that's fixed.
Updated the Hermes Upgrading wiki, although link for file is to Hermes Uploads.
Pof, I think you can move the file to Shipped_Complete_Updates, when you're ready.
I can confirm that this Rom works an absolute treat. Does appear to be Romainian as the Time zone is set there.
Updated my phone several weeks ago to an Imate Rom, which worked ok but didn't really solve the problems I was having (namely bluetooth). Now have an Orange Rom again so at least I can get the phone swapped by Orange again if I ever knacker it.
Well done one and all for finding this Rom
Is it faster/more stable?
What other improvements?
Does it have MSN Messenger on it?
I can't really say I've noticed it being particularly faster. I seem to have less problems with my Dual-SIM adaptor, but that may be coincidence. Apart from that, it seems pretty much the same.
One hiccup to watch out for; the MMS settings default to using a Romanian server, so if you use this you may need to go to Inbox > Menu > Tools > Options > MMS > Servers and change the settings on the MMS server.
No MSN Messenger. I don't use this, but isn't there an install file for it floating around somewhere?
I had a play with IM, and Agile messenger or IM+ seemed quite good if I remember rightly.
couple of things with the rom:
i had it for 2 days then flashed teh imate telstra rom again due to :
1)the phone got hung several times a day , requiring soft resets
2)it went to sleep mode and didnt wake up by pressing the power button .. again had to soft reset
3)didnt work very with wizbar adv 2
so i went back to imate telstra rom which works flawlessly on my jasjam
also i had no problems like above with any of the other roms (tytn,dopod,cingular) only with this rom!!

You, discriminator! ...Kidding. Maybe this happens due to the fact that this ROM was meant to work on European networks. It might have some radio incompatibilities with the US networks. Try to separately install the latest Cingular radio (it is available on the xda ftp). I may be wrong about the above said, but in Romania this ROM works flawlessly...
yeah i guess so... will try later..
i used to love orange roms.. due to their very nice and easy to navigate today app..but man in this rom the background totally sucks!!!

I am having the same issues with the phone getting hung..or won't come from sleep mode. I am rocking the cingular 1.31 rom.
Hi.
I tried to find this on the forum and wiki, but i couldn't, so i want to ask.
I got a used Softbank X01HT, and seller said it was unlocked, but when i put in my sim i can do things for about 30 seconds, and then there comes a U-SIM screen and it asks me to enter something, i guess ( It's in japanese ).
How can i get this to go away? Is it even unlocked?
ROM: 1.33.761.4
Radio: 1.16.00.00
When i make call to phone i does to through and people can all even though U-SIM screen is there, and when people call, it is possible to go to the menues and such.. But when they hang up it goes back to U-SIM screen.
Please help
I have already read the Post april X01HT thread, though it is not relevant in this case because this is model from 2006.
Thank you
this is SIM unlocked phone (radio version 1.16.00), but your Windows Mobile ROM is the original SoftBank Japanese version that enforces USIM message...
You can flash to some other Windows Mobile ROM, but make sure you check Hard-SPL thread first (sticky in Hermes upgrading etc)
Hi thank you again!
I read something like that in the SIM unlock thread.
So i just need to install Hard-SPL and then flash a ROM?
Do i also need to do CID unlock? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665)
I would like to be able to write japanese with the phone, so is that possible if i flash? I saw a thread about installing japanese input/output support, is that possible to install on every rom?
And can you reccomend a rom or post link to ROM you think i should install?
THANK YOU! can't wait to start using it.
Now i just tried the Hard-SPL thing. But i get Update error 260 saying my device is not connected. I have ActiveSync 4.5 open and i have synced..
so i don't know.
I don't know if it has anything to do with the USIM screen being on all the time?
I see Active sync closing down as soon as it starts updating.. but then it can't update, right?
easiest way is to use SoftBank SIM for flashing everything, that way you avoid USIM message...
if you dont have SoftBank SIM available, search for welcome.exe on this forum.
SoftBank put a software SimLock in the ROM which can be removed with welcome.exe from imei-check unlocker. (http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php) Start it up with you phone connected to USB and ActiveSync enabled... After the program asks for some password file, just close it! (close dos prompt window)
About Japanese IME (kanji & kanna input), i prefer flashing some newer English WM6 ROM + installing separate Japanese IME from cab. Old SoftBank's ROM is very slow and limited...
Super CID is just there if you flash HardSPL....
HI, thank you!
I found out that the USIM screen goes away if you just press on the signal bar and say that you don't want to receive signal.. den i can ue it.. And then i could do the Hard-SPL which i did with no problem. thank you!
Ah so if i just download that program and close it down at that time the USIM screen with never come again?
Yea i want to flash it to newer. But i'm not sure which one because i've heard a lot of people broken their phone :/
could to give me a link to a few "good" English WM6 ones?, though i there is probablt many.
i will try out the imei-check thing now ^_^!
Once you flash HardSPL; when you want to flash only Windows Mobile ROM only you dont have to worry about bricking (destroying) your phone. Only flashing different radio could be dangerous.
For the version, you have to find out yourself, there are so many... Check Hermes Mobile 6 threads, there are even some special Japanese cooked ROMs if i remember correctly. Also check user signatures for what versions are different people using...
thanks so much! i managed to get the USIM screen gone with your help.
Ahh i see, but install new version wont it also change the radio? wasn't that dangerous?(sorry if i ask dumb question)
so if i chose this for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359458 i can still make it with Japanese IME?
i think i will try hehe!
that link you provided is Schap's WM6 Pro 4.31 ROM... It is one of the most stable out in the wild, and it comes without radio, so flashing that one should be safe.
Oh ok thank you! then i will try this.
Last question before i do anything
This that ROM it is still possible to do the Japanese IME thing?
I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298919
It explains something of getting japanese on phone, was this what you meant by japanese IME? or is there an other method, if yes, please telle me/ give link.
Now time to have your Hermes speak Japanese
Japanese fonts
Use the excellent work from Asukal, that you can find here:
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/LetsJapanNo5.zip
I did have a problem with it: once I executed it, I could not sync with my Exchange server (Quite a pain for my push email account...)
Asukal found the solution: edit the registry, and change
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mobem\CE-Star] "MyNLS" = "\windows\wince.nls"
Japanese input
Not using for myself, but these work perfectly (I tried):
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/BagojsINPUT.zip
*** EDIT
If you prefer a Japanese input without the annoying "Floating bar", ie just the same input way as your original WM5 Softbank ROM, just downlaod and install the "MS IME31 J" link from Asukal's page:
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/SIP/IME_31J_QVGA_F.zip

THANK YOU!
That solution you mention should work fine, but newer solution is available. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445550
Hi! THank you very much! i was finally able to flash the ROM!!
And i have installed the Japanese fonts and Input thing!
It works. but after install i can not sign onto MSN Live Messenger. Is there anyway to fix this problem?Maybe i should change something in Regedit?? Or should i uninstall the fonts again? :/
It gives me this message: There's a Connectivity problem. Make sure you're in an area with good reception and try again.
I have tried over and over and WIFI is up and working..
So any answer i would be so greatful and finally be able to use the phone like i dreamed of !
Thank you.
sorry, i dont use msn, i have no clue about it...
明けましておめでとう。
Ok thank you anyway!!

Hi all
I've had a search through the re-developed ROM's and to be perfectly open, I don't understand much about them.
I recently had a plain HTC HD2 and very happy with it for what I use it for, I don't need any fancy add on's and bits etc, just my Co-pilot and keeping my contacts and notes upto date.
That handset was lost and the insurance didn't have any HD2 replacements in stock. The Desire they sent instead has been sold, and I've purchased a T Mobile version of another HD2.
Is it a simple case of downloading and installing the official HTC ROM for the handset and doing a ROM update?
Apologies if this is a simple query etc!
Cheers, Dennis!
no, no no nonono.
assuming you mean a tmobile us model (1024 rom, green send key) then no, if you flash a non tmous stock rom (any stock rom that isn't for the tmous) onto that phone it will die. brick. dead, because of the ..51.. radio they include.
You may get some cooked roms that are on a base of lower than 2.x, but have been tweaked for the 576ram , and they will work on your phone, but its a very risky game to play.
Far better to follow the two rules..,
only ever flash tmous stock roms,
and
cooked roms that SPECIFICALLY say tmous compatible in the title and post 1 of that roms thread..
Hiya
Samsamuel, thanks for the info there. I'll update with more information! I'm technical, but not with smartphones to the level some of you guys here!
I'm in the UK, and it's a UK TMobile handset that I bought. I've already had the handset 'unlocked' so that I can use my O2 SIM, which is working etc.
From the handset
OS Version - 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Manila Version - 2.5.20121429.0
ROM version - 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
ROM date - 04/02/10
Radio Version - 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol version - 15.32.50.07U
So, would it be ok to update to the normal HTC ROM?
Cheers, Dennis!
Ah ok in that case there is no need to mention that it is a t mobile phone, just confuses the issue.
Yes the regular update will work fine once happy is applied.
Thanks once again SamSamuel,
However, what's meant by 'once happy is applied' ?
Is that one of these hacks or special ROM things?
When I do a search, so many results come back containing the word 'happy' I have no idea where or what to look for!
Is there a thread which explains how to apply 'happy'?
Apologies for the vagueness!!
Cheers, Dennis!
lol, thats the android spell correction and me not proof reading before i post. should be HSPL
Hiya
To me, anything that's typed up 'could' potentially be what I need to do! I wouldn't know the difference!!
So, I've had a search for HSPL - I see it mentioned, but alas, I have no clue what it is, where to get it from, what to do with it when I get it!
Is there any straightforward points on what and where to get this HSPL, how to use it ?
I know I can download the HTC official ROM from their website, so that part I think I know what to do as I upgraded my last HD2.
Cheers, Dennis!
ok, hspl. Get HSPL2_RUN.zip from HERE, (you can follow instructions that say hspl or hspl3, theyre all the same, except for what phones they support, , hspl2 is teh most usefull for regular hd2 owners)
phone into bootloader and connect usb, (when you read 'get an active sync connection', , forget that, it doesnt mean actual active sync, just a usb connection)
get hspl2, run it, in the dropdown is a list of spl and hspl versions. if it ends .0000 its stock, if it ends .hspl its,,,,,, hspl.
choose 2.08.hspl, follow the prompts. if it doesnt work, run the hspl prog again, if it still doesnt work (timeout/connection errors) change usb ports and try again. no need to touch teh phone, just leave it in bootloader all the time.
once bootloader says spl 2.08.hspl you are good to go.
BUT
if you are planning to flash the 3.14 rom, , , you can't do it this way.
3.14 wont work on any spl/hspl except 3.03.0000 and there is no way to get 3.03.0000 except goldcard.
Hiya
Samsamuel - seems you're the only one willing to help me here! so I really appreciate it !
I know i've got to do 'things' from what you've said there, but I have no idea on how to do it! - give me some financial IT related stuff I'm good! ask me to do bootloaders and potential goldcard and run files and connect - I'm lost! I don't want to try things in case I 'brick' the handset!
The ROM I want is listed on the HTC downloads section for the HD2. It's dated 25th January 2010
Details are
ROM Version:
Norway:1.66.409.1, Spain :1.66.412.1, Denmark:1.66.403.1, France :1.66.406.1,
Sweden:1.66.413.2, Italy:1.66.408.1, WWE:1.66.405.2, France Bouygues: 1.66.483.0
So, if I somehow manage to do this HSPL thing, will I not be able to install the HTC ROM? I have no idea where or what the '3.14' ROM is?
Apologies for sounding really vague - I've never got into all the modified ROM's and stuff for smartphones. I've only ever needed to switch on, use the phone, install my GPS software and keep my contacts and notes syncronised. I'm just used to the HD2 I had as it was a case of straightforward use. This T mobile version is 'different'!
Anyone else able to help alongside everything SamSamuel has kindly provided so far? please?!!
Cheers, Dennis!

Its best for you if you do not try to update your phone. Either get used to it or just sell it. There are rom update tutorials on this site. Just search for rom update tutorial, if you must try. The official htc software is not for this phone, if you install it, your phone will no longer work, and you wont be able to fix it.
No, its ok so long as you have a regular hd2 locked to t mobile as discussed in earlier posts.
Just to double confirm, if your phone has green send key,then STOP DANGER
But I think we're dealing with white send key, so normal hd2, and the target Tom isn't 3.14
So,,,
assuming white end key.
Phone backed up and off
Press hold keep holding volume down
Tap and release power keep holding volume down
When striped coloured screen appears
Plug in USB
On PC run hspl2
In dropdown choose 2.08.hspl
When it completes and phone starts to reboot immediately hold volume down again to return to stripey screen (bootloader)
When says USB at the bottom and split at top says 2.08.hspl run the .exe you downloaded from HTC
If you get connection errors, timeouts, leave the phone and just swap USB ports. When running hspl.exe right click it and "run as administrator"
(That's the last time I'm gonna write those out in full, there must be 500 identical step by steps and half as many YouTube vids. )
If your send key is green DO NOT DO THIS
