Hey Guys,
i got my HD2 Europe Version with the T-Mobile Branding in Germany. Then a friend of me flashed a HTC Rom on it. Now i want to make a Hard Reset but i dont know which Rom will be aviable then. Now my Question: Will i get the T-Mobile Rom @ a Hard Reset or the HTC Rom?
Thank You Guys and Sorry for my bad English
Hard-Reset just sets it back to default settings (Werkseinstellungen)
When you hard reset it, it will be like you bought it on day 1, no need to flash a new rom or anything.
you will get whichever rom you last flashed.
Okay thank you guys

I am currently living in Japan and have just picked up a new HT1100 (Touch Dual) on the Docomo network.
This is my first smartphone/PDA and I am very happy with it except for the language problem.
The entire system is in Japanese and I would like to change it to English. I have tried asking Docomo who didn't have a clue what to do and it seems that the original English software has been completely removed and replaced with an all-Japanese ROM.
I have never changed the ROM on a smartphone before but I am willing to give it a go but I have a few questions which I can't find answers to by searching -
1, Would it be better for me to try and find an English language pack (if one exists)?
2, If I do have to change the ROM completely then which would be the best one for me?
3, If everything gets screwed up then what are my chances of unbricking it and putting the original Japanese software back on?
4, If everything goes to plan and I change the software to a hacked version can I still use my Docomo sim card in it? Or is there some kind of security check between the sim card and the phone that means the card will only work with the Docomo ROM?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm a bit of a newbie at this and don't want to ruin a brand new phone that I am otherwise so happy with!
Read the Sticked Thread about HardSPL and make all Steps!!!
Read 10 Pages of the Thread befor you try this. Then you know all errors you can have and it prevent use for the same questions they all ready posted hehehe
After that ... looks around for a Favorit Rom and try it! If you have a Problem ... read the first 10 Pages of the Thread!

neon 100
japanese ht1100 code name is neon 100 not niki,
so do not flash niki radio or rom to ht1100(neon 100).
Thanks for the replies!
I will certainly read each step carefully before I flash the phone with new ROM.
But before I do I just want to check one thing to be completely clear - are you saying that after I put on this new homebrew ROM I will DEFINITELY be able to use my Docomo sim card in it without any problems?
Also, what settings would I need to enter on the new phone to use it properly? ie, when I flashed normal phones in the past I needed to re-enter all the MMS/internet settings. Is it the same with these smartphones or are there any other settings I will need to get?

2, If I do have to change the ROM completely then which would be the best one for me? I think your device is a Neon, if i'm correct that i think i'm the only one cooking Neon Roms .
3, If everything gets screwed up then what are my chances of unbricking it and putting the original Japanese software back on? Dump your original Rom before doing anything that way you can always manage to flash it back.
4, If everything goes to plan and I change the software to a hacked version can I still use my Docomo sim card in it? Or is there some kind of security check between the sim card and the phone that means the card will only work with the Docomo ROM? Is your phone Network locked? Have you tried a sim card from another Network?

hi,I have same handset with you , and have flashed english rom , if you want to flash any english rom,I think you will cannt use docomo network mms, hi-speed data plan etc.
and cannt accesse internet. so, must dump docomo original rom before flash other english rom. good luck.
I don't know if my phone is network locked as I have not tried another sim yet but I wouldn't be surprised if it it.
Actually, after mailing HTC Japan they have pointed me in the direction of an English language pack sold by another company. I have to wait another 24 hours before I can use it but it looks promising - http://www.cfcompany.co.jp/product/mobem/mobem.html
If Aten is right then flashing the phone will be no use to me if the Docomo sim card doesn't work.
I will wait and try this language pack to see how that works out. Maybe after that I will consider flashing the ROM.

The MMS and Connection settings are store either in *.Rgu files or *.Xml files on the Rom, not sure which ones. I had the same issue with my Telstra branded Rom, the network settings were built in so i couldn't connect to any other network. If you dump your rom and upload it up i can have a look and extract these settings for you.
Cheers
Well that language pack software arrived last night and I installed it without any problems.
It all seems pretty good. Not everything is translated but its enough to make the phone useable for me.
The only major issue I have is that it seems incompatible with the whole Touchflo interface. The touchflo will not open my videos or, photos or music files any more. I cannot use the Touchflo shortcuts and it seems I am also unable to set an MP3 as my ringtone/alarm etc.
Is there something I could change to make this work?
I am busy with work for the next few days but will see if I can upload this ROM on the weekend.

Hello Folks,
Let me say sorry if this is in the wrong place.
The story is--My wife found a brand new HTC HD2 in the Airport while travelling home,It is in French and locked to Orange,I want to try and open the thing so it can be used on any network and also in English.I have had no experience with this type of kit so i thought id ask here.I have done the factory hard reset but that didnt do anything really,I was thinking of flashing the ROM but i dont know where to get the ROM or how to flash it,I tried the HTC site but it wont let me download anything :-(
Can anybody help?
Thanks
hspl will allow you to flash any rom you like, any language, get the roms from the rom development section, 'Leo Official Roms' thread.
no, flashing a rom will not allow you to use any network. Only way to unlock is either get a code from orange (not likely!) or buy one from online.
(found at the airport, eh? it was 'just lying there in some guys coat pocket' eh?? hehe)
****!!! **** !!! It's my device ! ! ! ****! !!!
LOL (bad) joke, i'm tired ^^
To change ROM: Like sam' says, u need HSPL your phone use ROM Dev' Section...
For Unlock, hum Orange ...^^ You need the code from orange to unlock^^
I don't know if you can use one from http://www.htcsimunlock.com/ ...
Or send me the device, i have many firends who works for this provider
Hey guys,
I just got a HTC HD2 yesterday and while plaing around I accidentally installed value added installer and that program installed arabic language to my phone. So everything is in arabic. How do I go about fixing this, I did a soft and hard reset plus I did a factory reset, nothing seemsto be working. Is there any solution to this issue? Please advise me on how to fix this problem. Im also a new to smartphones so my knowledge is limited.
regards,
Buppy
The official way:
Go to HTC website & download the ROM aplicable to your device & flash it.
Non official:
Flash HSPL & then flash the ROM you like.
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
I got my phone from a friend who got it from UAE. I was wondering will I have to download for UAE or can I download a UK ROM? Will this affect my phone negatively?
Please let me know.
Thank you for your help.

If you do not install HSPL, you have to download the ROM from HTC middle east website.
If you want any other ROM, (HTC -UK or custom), then you have to install HSPL. There is no negative effect on the phone's function.
Thank you for your help Omar. I really appreciate you helping me out.
I will download the ROM from HTC for now. I just got the phone few days ago so I want to get familiar with it before trying another ROM. I'm really not good at these kinds of things so I'm hoping I can learn it soon enough.
Anyways I really appreciate the help.. Thank you.

Quick question..
If I were to add Android to my phone would I still be able to create and edit Microsoft Office documents?
you can disable arabic support by going to the settings tab>other>multilingual support and then check "disable multilingual support"
this will save you flashing another rom, however, if you do a hard reset, the phone will change to arabic after the process is complete.
regarding your android question:
there are a few apps on android that support creating/editing office documents such as quick office, some are paid and offer more functions (sometimes even more than office on wm 6.5) but none is like the desktop version of course.
you can try an SD or Ram android build and see if it fits your needs before flashing NAND android
Hey guys another quick question; by downloading the rom from HTC site for middleeast and africa will the phone go back to being locked. At the moment phone is unlocked and Im using it in Canada.
I just want to know if the phone will be locked or not after the installation of new ROM from HTC site.
Once again thanks for your help

No. The phone will not get locked. Middle East phones are 99.99% not locked ini the 1st place.
Hello,
New to the forum, and this is probably a noob question, but after trawling through loads of threads on here my head is spinning and i need some advice!
I decided to upgrade the ROM of my hd2 today as i am having problems with sending sms. i bought the phone second hand recently. It is sim unlocked and there is no carrier branding on the phone that i have noticed.
I tried to get a ROM from the htc site and got the not suitable message, long story short after speaking to htc i found my phone is from the Czech republic.
Now i have had a look at the ROM flashing tutorial and i am confident with doing it, however i am unsure about whether or not i need to use the Goldcard method?
Can i download the latest ROM from the UK HTC site and put it on my phone just using the Hardspl method here?
Thanks for any help offered, and sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldnt find an answer to my question.
