Hello, reading from your post you have a Polaris (= touch cruise I) phone with already a custom rom.
Sure you can put a 6.5 rom on your phone using the RUU of Polaris. Would advice you to go to Polaris thread and see if there is something you like. Example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563173
The radio version you have is very good btw.....used it on my previous phone.
Happy flashing.....
think you sir
good day

I *loath* 6.5

I picked up an T4243 (still baffles me about this model) and the previous owner put some version of 6.5 on it.
IT BLOWS. slow slow slow!!! I can't add owners info and I am not sure where to find the original WWE English (USA) version of the 6.1 ROM. I like 6.1 regardless what people say.
So.. um... I read about how to get it on there, now, where to get? Thanks!
Try this 6.1 version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=573841
Or ship ROM: HTC Iolite - 1.09.401.3 - WWE (Europe) http://rapidshare.com/files/2095016....3_Radio_Sign_12.41.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe

i'll try the cooked ROM.. thanks!
Regarding the forum at hand (ROM development) requests for ROMs isn't appreciated.
However, the OP, luckily for him, has gotten an answer to his request, therefor I consider this thread closed.

Hi there,
I'm not export but as I can see from your information you have post your RADIO is 2.05.51.05_2
I'm not 100% sure but with this RADIO you can't update! I hope I'm wrong!!
vinod,
Basically you need to install HSPL and then flash desired rom of your choice.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713977
follow this thread from "mskip" it has everything you need to flash.
Also this forum has a excellent search feature,once in a while use that ,
happy flashing..
Thanks Venky
Thats Thread from mskip gave enough confidence to flash my ROM.
Could you please suggest some ROM versions to try in my HD2 512MB ROM
Once again thanks
Vinod

[Q] back up stock rom from HTC HD2

i have been search on here and on some other sites for some long time to find a way to back up my stock rom installed on my HTC HD2 ..... but everybody is talking about cooking rom and backing up contacts or so .....
is there any way to back up my stock rom from my HTC HD2 before doing anything to my phone??
i just wanna keep a back up of the original rom before doing anything .... can anybody help me?
just download it, a million times easier.
look here [REF]Leo Official ROMs
i downloaded this ver from HTC site but this is very old ver ....... i got 1.66.... i checked the difference between the ver i have now and this one on HTC site 1.48 there is too many fixes and updates in the ver i got not in the 1.48 .... so im looking for some way to backup the rom i have now so i keep the latest official rom

in your device check the software version and the radio version
and give it to me... i'll give you the link from where to download the same rom
rom version 1.66.415.4 (76641) WWE
radio version 2.07.51.22_2
there .....
its really strange that i cant find any of the great developers and programes on this site to help me in my problem
as it was stated in another threaduntil noe ther is no way to "extract" or "backup" an entire rom .
I perfectly see what you mean, its a problem for me too: i modded my 1.66 stock rom so heavily that it would take days to reconstruct my perfect running hd2 in case an update to new 3version stock or flash of cooked rom fails at all and/or dissatisfies me.
then i want to go back to the previous perfect state by just flashing my cutomized stock rom without any additional hazzle
Sashimi won't do this, no other app won't do this..........
Even Spb backup won't do this as I had to learn the hard way since reflashing seems to be not the same as just upgrading a rom .........
some things happen in the rom that we still do not fully understand ......
I have the same concern as winner1. I want try out some custome roms, but before that it would be nice to have some sort of backup of my stock rom.
troed mentioned there is no to "extract" or "backup" an entire rom. So there is the option of downloading a stock rom.
As a matter of fact I am a total noob and I have no idea on what i must to pay attention to. Could someone help me to find a download of my stock rom, please?
Despite there is no hardware-branding, I don't know if my rom is software-branded. It would be nice to have a branded rom if there was one.
I bought my HTC HD2 from the service provider Three in Austria in August this 2010.
Here are some additional information about my phone:
OS-Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82) / WM 6.5 Pro
Manila-Version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM-Version: 1.66.407.1 (76641) GER
ROM-Date: 01/11/10
Radio-Version: 2.07.51.22_2
Protocoll-Version: 15.32.50.07U​
Thank you for your effort and time.

The fact that your rom version is 1.66 tells us that although the phone is on 3, the rom isn't rom locked, so you use default HTC roms, not branded roms. (Which would have a 1.7x version)
Unless i am mistaken, this means you need the 1.66 HTC GER stock rom, which (amazingly) can be found on teh HTC germany website under support, pick your phone, downloads, rom updates., or, as per post two of this thread, the official roms thread, first post, first link, 1.66 folder, and teh one you want is called
RUU_Leo_HTC_GER_1.66.407.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
If you download it from teh htc website, you can confirm its the correct one by using your serial number, because it wont let you download it if its not correct.

Welcome on XDA sir, (Member from 2005 and 1st post)
The most easiest is just to update your radio; Any radio => 2.08.50 are compatible with Android.
Steps that you need to do:
- Install HSPL: (HSPL thread)
- Install a radio: (Radio thread)
How to do:
Or if you don't have a branded device you can upgrade your OS/manila/Radio version by installing the latest Stock ROM 3.14
I was wondering why you had you so many thanks, coz this is probably the best explanation given to any question on Xda by any member I have seen.
Carry on Sir!
