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.
I have an HTC HD2 and I'm on T-mobile. What I've noticed is that my phone doesn't ring sometimes and then I'll just get a voicemail notification (if voicemail was left). It's an intermittent issue, I've tested it several times from another line.
Does anybody know what the issue is? I did a search on Google and there seems to be a lot of the same issues others are having across other networks and other versions of the HTC but, haven't found a solution.
Thanks
i had never heard of this issue until yesterday, when my phone simply did not ring, then i got a txt asking why i didnt answer. very confusing. only seemed to happen once. i have done a lot of tweaks, so maybe ive changed something i shouldnt have. if it helps im using a generic, unbraded, factory unlocked HD2, with CleanEX DsE 3.5 and radio 2.11. have you tried re-flashing the ROM and seeing if that helps?
interestingly, i have noticed that my signal can be irratic at times, often just dropping for no reason, then coming back about 30 seconds later. i live in a full signal area, so i know thats not a problem. also my data connection will 'freeze' at times, where it shows its connected, but nothing is able to use it, i have to disconnect and reconnect, and this may take 2 or 3 attempts before it connects and is usable. have you experienced the same issues?

I haven't tried flashing the ROM, I've been hesitant on doing that since I feel like I might mess something up. I'm not sure how to either. I have SPB backup, so I would hope if I messed something up then I would be able to easily restore it.
I haven't really noticed any dropping, my call qualities have been good. I've tried to dial a number before and it might drop right then while it's trying to make the call. So, I'll redial the number but, once I'm connected I haven't noticed any issues with calls dropping.
Data connection has been working pretty good as well, I've been using the wifi quite a bit and not really had any issues. I don't have a data plan setup with T-Mobile so I just use the wifi. I don't know if using the actual data connection would give different results than using the wifi.
flashing a rom is really easy it's all autoinstall, just have to read carefully / look at the video's, there A LOT of them out there.

updating the rom may help, as it will also update the radio drivers. what i would suggest, if you dont have much experience in flashing a ROM is to have a look on the official HTC support site. on there it will give you a list of updates avalible for your phone. download the latest ROM for your phone (for me, this is WWE 1.66 with radio 2.06) and install that. any data on an sd card will remain intacted, but sync you phone with outlook and backup stuff like contacts, messages etc before you do it. i personally use microsoft myphone to do all that.
flashing the ROM with an official one is very straight forward, and as quoted above, its all auto install on the phone, and there are about 3 or 4 steps that you need to do PC side (this is all explained in the update program you download). i would give that a go and see if things improve, you will also gain improved performance, new features and better battery life with newer ROMs, so its worth doing
custom roms are a bit more tricky to install, but often offer more features and improvements over stock roms. if you need help with this have a search on the forums, there are lots of guides and help on how to flash with a custom rom

I have a T-Mobile HTC HD2 (U.S.) and I went to the HTC site and on the download page for the ROM update it has ROM Version: 1.66.707.1. When I check the ROM version on my phone it is: 2.10.531.1.1 (82076) WWE
Also it says on there - Note: This update is not intended for use on T-Mobile(US) HTC HD2, and doing so may have undesired side effects.
So, I suppose I'll have to start looking into the custom ROM's.

good job you didnt flash that, the 'undesired side effect' of flashing that official rom (or any other non tmous official rom) on your tmous phone would have been a permanently dead phone.
im not sure about tmous roms, maybe have a look on the t-mobile us support site and see if anything is listed there. if you want to look at custom roms the first thing you will need to do is get hspl (the latest version is hspl3, which i believe is compatible with tmous). if you search on the forums you can find the official thread. this removes the security checks and allows you to install custom roms. after that you will need to choose a radio version. again search on the forum and find the latest one compatible with your hd2 (there is an official radio thread which i would look at). this normally comes with an updater program included, but if not, search for 'custom ruu' and follow the instructions on the thread. finally you need to pick a custom rom. there are literally 100s to choose from, with different features, looks, apps and even some android builds. personally, i use cleanex dse because of its speed and stability. im not sure if this is tmous compatible, so check on the rom threads.
alternativly, you could have a hardware fault with your phone, which will be repaired under warrenty, so you could go down this route. personally, i would do this first and see if things improve, as although custom roms can be uninstalled and the steps can be reversed, the warrenty is voided by using hspl and installing custom roms.
still have the problem? Might not need a hard reset. Try this solution here:
(LINK)
One of your programs might have deleted the "Volatile" folder, so
no Volatile folder => no WMPlayer => no MP3 playback => no ringtone.
Re-creating an empty "\Application Data\Volatile" folder usually brings it all back.
If it fixes the problem temporarily and recurs again, you might have to change the temp folder as outlined in the link above, or just install that CAB.
Hope this helps. If this solves your problem, please edit/add [solved] to your title.

I have the same problem. Sometimes incoming call does't ring, altough the phone vibrates. I'm using an european HD2 with the original 1.48 rom. I didn't found the reason... the changed tweak... the influencing application installed. It seems happening randomly, I can get a call without incoming call ring and after a few minutes I can get a second call from the same caller with a normal ring.
hey guys whenever i flash this rom it works but im getting an error box pop up say cannot delete a line, ive flashed the task 29 procedure and its still doing the same thing, i click on the ok button but the rom is real buggy and keeps freezing im using radio 2.12.50 im tried different ones and the same thing is happening, can anyone please help me, HTC HD2 leo (telstra branding)
far better to ask in the cell thread for specific answers, however if you have flashed a few different roms, try task29 to wipe the space and re flash.
mate trust me i have but no one is helpin out been nearly an hour and still no response, the problem is ive tried some other roms and they r all freezing on me i cant understand y, ive done task 29 ive tried different radios but they r all doin the same thing its my new ohone so i really need some help here please
well if its happening across multiple roms even when task 29 has been applied, chances are its hardware and your best bet is get it replaced.
f..k i hope not its only 2 days old, cant get it fixed on warrenty caus of the HSPL, where do i look for the stock roms to flash it

Hey guys I am an enthusiast about Android and recently I purchased a HD2 which is great as a phone (hardware specs) but it lacks of a good software. So on my quest to make this phone the best I stumble upon this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
and which I thought it was the greatest because it tells you how to do everything for u to run Android in your Phone. I did every single step in it I installed ChuckyGTX Rom in it, but when I run HTC Sebse Desire Build, it boots up great and it works, after about five minutes in it freezes up and stop responding.
I really don't know if I installed the right HSPL, Radio, ROM and Android, for dat matter, in my phone. So I would love if someone here can help me. Thanks before hand. I really don't know if I installed it right or not? which one is supposed to go first? The phone is working fine with Chucky Rom, except that it does not display my location weather. Also I do not have a sim card in it yet!
This are the things I installed in my phone:
HSPL3
Radio 2.12.50_2
ROM: Chucky ROM GTX (but I dont know which one, when it boots up it says GTX 2.5, I did not download it from here)
Android: HTC Sense Desire Build
This are the specs for my phone.
SPL 2.10
ROM Version 3.14
Radio 2.15.50.14

First thing I would try is to delete the android build from your SD card completely, re download it and start again to see if the problem is still there.
If it still happens then try another build and see how that runs.
Finding a build that works well for you can be a lot of trial and error.
You could always try using a newer kernel for the build your having problems with, search the android sections for info on that.
Im not sure if having a sim card will affect how it runs or not but I dont think so.
Hope that helps......

After every time Android froze I did uninstall it and reformat the SD card. Also I try about 4 different builds but the only one dat it goes to the system is HTC Desire Sense Build (Which I love by the way) the rest of them get stock on android logo or they never finished booting up completely.
And what other kernel you think I can use on my phone?

Hmmm
Wouldnt worry about a kernel for the moment.
Only thing I can suggest for now is trying a different WM Rom........
Do u mean like a new OS for da phone right? Where can I get one dat u think it will work for this phone? Or I was thinking to put the phone back like it was and start all over again from scratch. But Im not even sure how to put it back to default.
Am I right in thinking that you have a "tmous" HD2? (green and red hardware keys?).....
If so you need to read through this thread for info on flashing a new rom..
Then choose a rom from here.....
or here.........
make sure its compatible with your tmous hd2..... most of them are.
You could also flash a new radio if you want. Make sure you only flash radios with a .50. in the name......
NEVER EVER go anywhere a radio with .51. in the name, these are for the other type of hd2 and will kill your phone.
Might also be worth posting your problem in the hd2 android section......

If u mean green and red keys to Open and Hangup buttons then yes, dat is the phone I have. Also the thread u r telling me to read is da one I used to flash my 1024Leo
ok well i would start over again from scratch.......
new rom, radio, format sd card, new build etc then see what happens......
Great news conantroutman I did what u tell me to do and I got the HTC Sense Desire Build running. Here is what I did:
Change the ROM back to Chucky GTX
Change Radio 2.12.50.2 to 2.08.50.05
But there are some issues that are I guess aggravating me the first one is that it shows all the weather for all the areas except mine and the battery drains while the phone is plugged to the computer. But besides that it did not freeze and it runs pretty smooth. Is there anything u can recommend me to do in this case. Heheheheh!!! I really want it to run as my main cellphone system.
I didnt use the desire build for very long so I'm not sure of what settings are available.........
I would look for something along the lines of "Allow charging whilst connected via usb" or something like that, tucked away somewhere in the settings menu..........
The weather issue...........
Depends what your using to get your weather info....
Sense?
Weatherbug?
Other?
Not every location is listed so it might default to the nearest listed location to where you are....... try using another gps related app and get a fix to make sure it knows where you are and see if that helps........
Theres a good chance someone else using this build will have asked this in the thread for the build so might be worth trying there........
Glad to hear you got it up and running

Hey guys, I need some help.
I've been using my HD2 for two months now with little to no issue.
I've installed a couple of different Android ROMs with success, and enjoyed using them.
Recently I tried one that I didn't like, and decided to restore my phone to factory WinMO ROM.
Since then, I've had HORRIBLE data speeds...
I'm talking 50-60Kb/s where I used to get at LEAST 500Kb/s...
What on earth happened??
I'm currently on stock WinMO ROM with nothing flashed except for HSPL.
Can anyone help?
format your memory card or replace it to see if anything improves

Hi
Just a couple of things? When you flashed back to stock rom, was you back with spl? or have you put Hspl back in? I also thought usa mobiles had a radio version 51?
So maybe the radio version could be the problem? You can try flashing back to stock, then trying, before flashing up Hspl, or check to see if you have radio version 51 instead of the 50.
I also would like to know if this sovles it for you
Tks

Here's what I did:
1. I formatted the memory card to remove any traces of Android.
2. I restored the original WinMO ROM.
3. I performed Task29
4. I Flashed Radio 2.15.50.14 (has always worked for me)
5. I flashed VBNROM 2 Reloaded (has always worked for me)
6. I installed my favorite flavor of Android.
Still no data speeds over 50-60Kb/s.
I then decided to restore the factory WinMO ROM again. I formatted the memory card, and restored. No Task29 this time.
Now back to factory WinMO ROM and still suffering from terrible data speeds, even on stock WinROM radio.
Hi
Looks like you have lost the data settings supplied by T-Mobile. You can check via start/settings/connections/connections. (or similar to your mobile settings) you should see T-mobile internet settings? look for manage existing connections. touch that. (Mine has AIS GPRS Internet, so i am working fine)
Does your have/say something simillar? If not then I hope another T-Mobile USA user can give you your settings. (Or you can google it)
Hope this helps this time!!
