Hi,
I have a problem wtih my HPC and would like to c if anyone can help.
Problem description:
After Upgrading the Rom from I-Mate's webpage to 1.66WWE the GSM phone has serious problems (seems very week).
I purchased my phone in the middle east and it had an older ROM version (Am not sure but it probably was 1.52 I am sure the radio was older than 1.10 but not sure which version I suspect it was 1.03.
When I first arrived here in the US it was working fine with AT&T cingular and T-mobile. Reasonable reception and stability.
Then I stupidly decided to upgrade the roms from i-mate's webpage and I started facing problems. Now the phone either can't find the network or sees a very very week signal.
More annoyingly when It tried to downgrade it to the older version on imate's webpage it refused to downgrade the radio version and kept it at 1.10.00.
My questions:
1. Any idea where I can find an older version of the radio rom s/w so I can get my GSM phone working?
2. Any ideas what I can do to upgrade to the 1.66WWE and the 1.10 radio and still have them work here in the US?
as it is now my settings are:
ROM version 1.52.00WWE (was 1.66 for while)
ROM date 10/29/03
Radio version 1.10.00
protocol version 1.337.18
ExtROM: 1.52.114
HELP!

I live in Kansas City, Missouri and have the T-Mobile XDA I (or whatever it is called). I bought it with the 2002 OS on it and upgraded to the 2003 version that I found on the t-mobile website. I was curious if there was a newer, more stable version out yet that is official yet? The version I currently have on there is:
ROM version: 4.01.16 ENG
ROM date: 2/4/04
Radio version: 6.25.02
Protocol version: 324e4
Is this the newest one for my phone and if not where can I find the newest one?
THANKS A TON!!
Can someone PLEASE help me out here?
There is no newer Version of ROM available.
As much as i know, T-mobile removed this release, because they have some problems with it.
From O2 there is an version out (4.01.12) but this had never been official released on their website to download.

I cooked a ROM in your Kitchen for my XDA 1. Your Kitchen is great and I was able to customize the ROM fifor my needs.
I've got:
ROM version: 4.01.16 ENG
ROM Date: 2/4/04
Radio version: 6.18.00
This ROM is giving me all kinds of problems such as
XDA turns itself on every few minutes when the phone (radio) is on.
Sometime the SD card shows up as empty, othertimes it has the files?
Is there a more stable and functional ROM?
On my harddrive I've got the following ROMs as executables:
3.17
4.00
Official T-Mobile RUU2.07 v4.01.16
Which of these would you say is the best and can I use any of them
in your ROM Kitchen?
Don't know, which ROM Version is the best.
I'm using the 4.00.33 Version, but it's in German, so it isn't useful for you.
I never had much problems with this ROM, so it's the best for me.
Many people reports, that the best WM2003 ROM is the 4.01.12.
3.17.03 is surely one of the stablest ROMs, but it's still Pocket PC 2002 and not the new WM2003.

Thanks for your help. I am using WM2003.
I notice in your kitchen that ROM 4.01.12 is a version from O2 in the UK.
Will this work for me in the USA? If so, do I choose the No Autoconfig option? Is there anything else I need to adjust to make it work here?
Any other ROM versions to use in the USA?
Also, I cooked my current ROM using the WM2003 final verison in your kitchen. Is the device turning on every few mintues if the phone (radio)
is on, a known problem?
Thank you.

where to find the original upgrade
Hi Guys, please excuse me - i'm a newbie - and need your expertise.
My current device information is ROM 1.03.00 USA
ROM Date 09/24/03
Radio version 1.05.12
protocol version 1337.12
I am initially wanting to upgrade the ROM etc, but the myxda site and sourceo2.com websites do not specify if the upgrade is compatible with the ROM that I have (USA).
Which upgrade do I need.
Thanks very much

Hi, i have to know if updating my ROM (1.43.206.4) to 1.72.206.3 from HTC website can affect the phone being unlocked. I would also like to know how to upgrade my Manila from 2.5.1920 to a better one that supports Sense in landscape.
The cell on restart reads O2, is there anyway to get rid of that screen????

If you mean unlock from; unlock your device from your operator, than the answer will be NO!

Your Manila version will be upgraded at the same time you upgrade your Rom if it is build in! not every Rom Upgrade have a new Manila version, but the majority have. Way not take a cooked Rom thy have the latest manila version?

@ Kurt Willems
Thanks for your answer but when i said unlocked, i meant that my cell is already "unlocked" right now (using another network in India). What i need to know is whether the ROM upgrade will "Lock" it back to O2 since the upgrade that i will use reads:
ROM Version:1.72.206.3 for O2 only
NOTE: This update is for O2 UK devices currently on ROM version 1.43.206.4 only. Users with devices on ROM version 1.48.405.2 please click here (on the official HTC site)
So will this upgrade "LOCK" my phone back to O2???
and I guess i should ask a complete question.............please tell me which ROM to go for apart from the one mentioned above............i dont wanna brick my HD2
The complete specs are as follows:
OS Version 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manila Version 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
ROM Date 11/06/09
Radio Version 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version 15.26.50.07U
Okay, I sea more clearly now what you mean.
unfortunately I don't have a idea if it will lock again your device. In Belgium we don't have locked device so I don't have experience on this.
And I will not give you a wrong information.
Sorry!
no it will not re lock your device. Once unlocked, its permanent.
yes you can change the o2 splash screen. flash a different rom (some cooked roms dont have them, some do, all oficial ones do, flash a t mo one, you get a tmo splash, flash a generic htc one, you get a htc splash) or you can make your own, see my sig and many threads like it.
@ Kurt Willems and Samsamuel...............thanks a lot. There is one more thing that i need to know; i read somewhere that a wrong radio can damage the cell bad........wanted to know if the following Update would work on My existing ROM:
RUU_Le2_UK_1.72.206.3_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship (this is the ROM update file)
Existing :
OS Version 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manila Version 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
ROM Date 11/06/09
Radio Version 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version 15.26.50.07U
your current version tells us that you do not have a 'tmous' hd2, so you do not need to worry about the radio bricking your phone. That only applies to tmous hd2s, you have a 'regular' hd2.
does anyone have any idea if/when this ROM will be released?
what is the "sea-wwe rom"??
South East Asia - World Wide English
why so long....!
Yeah..i am waiting for....

I tried updated my HD2, purchased in S'pore to both the *officially released* 3.14 ROMs.
3.14.405 (WWE-EUROPE)- installs fine but phone gets hung when increase/decrease volume in a call.
3.14.720 (WWE-India)- get the following msg after install: Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center.
Had to flash back to the old and boring 1.66.707 with Radio version 2.06
Get issues with most of the custom roms as well. feel we ve the most deprived HD2

I've been trying to do the same. 405 gave me an invalid vendor ID and I got nowhere. Did you manage to get SPL3.03 to install by flashing 3.14.405? Which SPL did you use?

Although I hadn't planned on up-dating my ROM, if there is/was one available, I do have a couple of questions.
1) How can I determine the region for my HD2? I also think it's Southeast Asia, but I could be wrong.
2) What is the clear advantage of up-dating the ROM. My phone is working quite well, and doing pretty much what I want, so I would only up-date if there's a significant reason for doing so.
Here's my info:
HTC HD2
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE
ROM date: 11/09/09
ROM Region: South-East Asia (I'm guessing here)
Radio version: 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol version: 15.28.50.07U
Thanks,
Peter
your rom .707 means that it is a malaysian unit

Thanks for the info. How did you determine the region? Is there a place online where one can see a list of ROM numbers and in what region they apply?
Thanks,
Peter
Addendum: I think you may be wrong. I just went to HTC's Malaysia site and tried to download the ROM up-grade listed for the HD2, but it said, "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
i think singapore and malaysia both have same units...the sea version..they have not released any rom updates there..so where were you trying to download from? ... also, kurt willems has posted it somewhere in his posts, the different roms region wise

As I said in my previous post, I tried to download the ROM up-grade from HTC's Malaysia site at the following link:
http://www.htc.com/sea/
If you go to ANY HTC site, click on "Select Country," and then click on Malaysia, you get the link above.
Now here's what's really weird (the RED part from another post of mine)...
Here are the details concerning my phone:
S/N: HT01XNW02546
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE
ROM date: 11/09/09
ROM Region: South-East Asia (I'm guessing here)
Radio version: 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol version: 15.28.50.07U
SPL: 2.08.HSPL (Old 1.42.0000)
I have tried virtually every HTC site online and only two of them allow me to download a ROM up-grade: The Hong Kong Traditional Chinese site, and the Hong Kong English site. However, and here's the hitch, both of the file names contain the letters CHT (not WWE) which, I believe, means Chinese. If I were to use this ROM, would my phone change from English to Chinese?
What can I do to up-grade. As you can see, my ROM is quite old. I'd really like to up-grade, but I don't want to brick my phone. It's working well right now, but if there are numerous improvements, perhaps up-grading would be a good idea.
Any thoughts, comments or suggestions?
Peter
Addendum: I see on page 1 of this thread that there are four possible ROMs that I could use (I think):
World Wide English (WWE) 3.14.405.2
Hong Kong: (HKSCL_WWE) 3.14.831.3
World Wide English (WWE) 1.66.405.2
South East Asia (Asian WWE) 1.66.707.1 (This one seems to match my S/N prefix)
What happens if I up-grade using any of the four above? Will some cause problems, will all work, will none work? Please help.
@ PeterHTC
Based on your information; (ROM version: 1.48.707.2)
You mention to have a x.XX.707.x ROM! (Aria Rom = South East Asia)
Now if you will try to install a other Rom aria version as the one you have fore the moment you need to install it over HSPL ore Goldcard.
But; HSPL and stock ROM 3.14 aren't compatible! So if you will install the latest stock ROM (3.14) you need to use GoldCard technique.
Install stock ROM 3.14 in combination with HSPL caused problems on limited Program Memory.
So use the GoldCard technique or wait fore a 3.14.707.x stock ROM.
and the rom update on the sea website is an old one for 1.66 version...the new 3.14 version is not posted on the sea website...just wait for it..it will come..........mail to the customer care at htc from the website...remind them .........it works
can anyone provide us with at least a leaked rom for asia-wwe?
ROM Released!
It has been released see htc SEA support site
I got my HD2 from amazon with a SEA-WWE rom but i flashed to the normal WWE rom its a bit better than the SEA versions so ill wait till they release a 3.14 WWE
i couldn't post the url cause of this

I wish I'd read Peter's post before I downloaded the ROM upgrade!
I bought my HD2 in New York last March. The OS, ROM, Manila, Radio and Protocols versions were identical to Peter's listed above.
I went to the Hong Kong-English section of the HTC site, where ROM Version 3.14.831.3 (Release Date: 2010-11-02) was available to download.
My S/N was accepted and I proceeded to download the ROM. The installation instructions were mostly in Chinese, but foolishly I did not suspect anything and persisted with the installation, using guesswork and intuition. Also (foolishly) I failed to notice that the actual ROM I downloaded was Version 3.14.832.3 (04666) CHT.
Now I am stuck with a Chinese language HD2 which is virtually impossible to use.
Can anyone help please?
Eamonn.
When I bought my HD2 - which is a 707 hardware. (Same deal, chinese mall in Toronto) it was in chinese, the girl changed it over to english for me and aside from the extra keyboard button that would kick it over into chinese from time to time, it was workable.
What I've done with mine, as I don't know chinese and gave up learning years ago, was install the latest Artemis ROM after goldcarding it. Instructions are on the thread. Goldcarding makes the hardware not check to see what region it is locked to while loading new firmware - so you can flash WWE or whatever you want to it.
