ROM:Artemis 41.0 WWE (02/11/2010)
RADIO: 2.12.50.02_2
2.08.hspl
thanks!!

Sir you mention to have Artemis rom v41.0! but at the same time you mention to have HSPL!?
Did you have read/follow the install instructions?
I mean first of all you need to remove your HSPL from your device. Secondly you need to upgrade to the latest stock ROM 3.14 and than if you have don this; then you can install Artemis ROM.
This isn't something new, these information are mentioned step by step in the Artemis thread.
Pleas read again the hole procedure of installation, and follow them.
Ons you have don it correctly you will see that there aren't problems anymore.
We can give you lot of links to otter ROM/Radio builds but if you don't follow the installation instructions you will keep problems on your device.

Version 1.72 seriously discussed

Can anyone share with us information on version 1.72 for XDA2: features, benefits, pros, cons... ?
Is worth upgrading from O2 1.60 ?
thanks
There are allready many threads on this.
But to conclude:
If you don't have any issues with your current version: stay with it.
You might consider 1.72 (the Qtek or iMate versions, NOT the T-Mobile beta) especially when:
1. You need certain Bluetooth options (ie serial port protocol) and don't want to mess around with hacks or extra 'tools'
2. Battery life is important
For me these points were enough to DO the upgrade (coming from 1.63 T-Mobile NL). And very happy with it.
Keep in mind that (unless you find a 1.72 from your own operator) you will have quite some work with getting all the customisations right.
One of these days I will post a good working set (no issues in a month holiday!!) of customisations to be used as a an extended rom for T-Mobile NL
i'm currently using the T-Mobile ROM v1.72WWE had no problem with it. the batt life was improved noticeably. I was using the O2 ROM v1.66WWE
as for my bluetooth i'm using the widcomm BT-PPC/PE v1.0.0 build 1400. no problems with it except that it turns off whenever i set my phone to standby mode.
downlaod
i have a qtek 2020 with rom 1.66 and it is doing a lot of problem which version is better and where can i download it

many thanks to [Krueger] Dr. Stein, mamaich, itsme, edsub...
you are great man.
Most of the post regarding ROM Salads and customizations are beyond what I wish to perform on my device. To dat I have only loaded T-Mobile ROM upgrades that required nothing more than loading them automatically. I currently have the T-Mobile U7K Beta on my MDA II.
Can someone please explain the following:
1. Is there another T-Mobile 1.72 WWE available that I can load, non-beta?
2. I see other Custom ROMs on this site that state T-Mobile. Can I simply load those automatically or will I have to get into country ID, .nbf files, etc?

Official T-Mobile
Hi. Gratefuled
maybe this can help you : :?: :?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11169
ajong,
Thanks for the link. I have looked at that page/thread, but I think what I want is still not available.
I'm looking for an official T-Mobile 1.72 ROM, si I can get rid of the 1.72 Beta, or I'm looking for someone's custom ROM that I can load just like I could an official one. In other wors the custom I suppose would be ok, but I do not want to mess around with opeing the ROM and disecting and changing certain settings. Like I say, it just may not be out there.

ROM update mishap

Hello,
in my infinite stupidy I updated my rom on my G4 QTEK 9100 with faria's WM6 rom without the use of shelltool (found the 5-step guide afterwards :S).
Anyhow, it went wrong and I ended up installing the original ROM again from QTEK (WI_DT_NLD_2180706_106_020710_Ship.exe).
Installing the original rom went well and my device is running again with no problems using the QTEK ROM, so I thought I'd give it another shot using the guide this time around. Only problem is, the shelltool displays my rom as this:
blversion: crossbow
device: wizard
language: wwe
brand: HTC
CID: n/a
ROM: n/a
instead of the correct information from the QTEK ROM I installed, which is a WM5 ROM in Dutch (and which works properly) :S.
My guess is that some part of the faulty installed ROM is lingering somewhere in my device . Does it really matter and can I install the faria rom again using the shell tool (following the steps in the guide offcourse). Or do I have to fix my device properly first (in some way) before I can give it another go?
Any advice is appreciated.
***edit: feel free to move this thread if I misplaced it, didn't really know if I had to post in the upgrade, WM6 or this forum. ***
I am not an expert, but will try to help you a bit. Reading around a guide by Mfrazz, he advises to install the original ROM before using a custom one, this because it might be possible to be some leftovers lurking around, just like you said.
I would do a hard reset then install the original ROM again, test it and if necessary repeat the process until everything is working like it should. Then after that try again the custom ROM you want to install.
This is just my opinion, maybe some of the guys that REALLY know this stuff can come up with something that works better.
I had the original ROM installed before I tried the one from Faria. Afterwards my device didn't boot properly anymore, so I already did a hard-reset before installing the original from QTEK again. So I don't really know where shelltools gets the faulty information from. So your advise doesn't really help, but thx for the help anyways.

Titan Downgrade From WM6 to WM5

I know i am sure I am going to get flamed for this.
But i have searched and searched and can not find a solution.
I have the following currently installed
Rom Version dcd 2 Beta WM6 (Tried others but various things wont work)
Radio Version 3.27.00
SPL 2.40.Olipro
I would like to downgrade to Stock NewZealand Telecom WM5 or any WM5
if that whats needed.
I have a custom application for work that will not run on WM6
Would be nice to keep the GPS function if possible.
So can please somebody post the proccess i need to follow to achieve this.
Many thanks
John
Solved
Hi All
I have managed to downgrade my Titan.
Make sure you have SPL-2.40.Olipro as your bootloader
Then using SD card method flash this DCD ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/ImCoKeMaN/roms/TNZ_StockWM5_RUU_signed.nbh
This will give you a device that gets stuck after the 2nd spladsh screen.
Then flash this Radio ftp://xda:[email protected]/Titan/Radio_Roms/titan_2.13_CDMA.rar
Reboot
All sorted
John
Does this procedure also downgrades the radio rom?
When you did the downgrade, were you coming from a radio 3.x, with gps enabled?
On this link, http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9229 , ImCoKeMaN warns about bricking the phone if one were to do that.
Yes it does
2nd part is radio flash
I saw the other post but was desperate and all worked fine
Jman
You really should try a 6.1 rom. 6.0 roms like the dcd you used are really really old. Try something like dcd 3.3.4

Questions before flashing.

Hello. I bought my HD2 in India and it has the ROM version : 1.48.720.2(71294)WWE and the radio version: 2.05.51.05_2. HTC has not released any updates(1.66 ROM etc) in india(except for some patches like SMS, camera fix etc). Now i want to flash it to some custom ROM but before doing that i have a few questions.
a)Can i straight away install HSPL3 or it's a gradual process(from hspl1 to hspl2 to hspl3)?
b) After installing HSPL , can i choose any custom WWE ROM and radio combination ? Say if i wish to install Radio_2_10_50_26 and some energy's 6.5.5 ROM , would that be possible? Or i have to look for ROM's that are specific to my region/country.
much appreciated.
no you can use hspl straight away make sure you choose one ending in hspl not .0000 because thats stock spl, you should prob read a bit more first by the sounds of it mate, and you can install any rom you wish and most roms will say what radio is recommended but you can also check the last few pages to see what radios people are using, hope this helps
Thanks for replying Demon_man. I 've downloaded a file called HSPL3_PKG.zip from a thread called HSPL/HSPL2 HowTo flash everything. And i 've gone through a tutorial named Flashing your First GSM 512LEO Rom (For Noobs). So what i understood is that when i will run HSPL_PKG.exe , it will ask me for the HSPL version to install(tutorial says
i can select between SPL2.08.0000 or 2.08.HSPL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
, so i guess only two versions are packed). And there i need to select 2.08.HSPL and NOT SPL2.08.0000. Once it is installed chances of bricking my phone are minimal. Please correct me if i am wrong.

[Q] Is it possible to downgrade from SPL 3.03 to 2.08?

I have the 3.14 ROM with 3.03.000 SPL installed on my HD2
What I`m trying to do is Install NAND Android. But to do this I need HSPL 2.08.
I read through a lot of Forums indicating that this can only be done if you flash an older ROM to phone, hence overwriting the 3.03 SPL.
Tried downloading one of the older stock roms (1.66 and 1.48) and then attemped to flash via SD and through the .exe file directly.
Heres what happened:
----------------------
From the .exe file it boots to the tri color screen and then reaches the progress bar screen. However it sticks there and the errors out with a code : 294.
At first I thought it could be an incorrect ROM but I doublechecked it.
Through the SD method after the phone detects the .nbh file it comes back with a "28002 : Not allow" error message.
Have tried this with various types of Mem cards but no luck.
I then tried SSPL with 1.66 and 1.48 as the ROM and i got it to flash the ROM with no problems but the HSPL still sticks at 3.03. And thats expected since SSPL is like a one shot go at flashing a ROM different from your region.
Question : Since this isnt working, will a task 29 help in this case? From what I understand it formats the filesystem that holds the OS. By doing so, will I then be able to flash one of the older Roms so I can install HSPL 2.08? Not sure if this will actually help.
Not sure what exactly i`m doing wrong here.

simple, you're using the wrong rom. It isnt just any stock rom, its a stock rom that is correct for your phone you need. so for example if its locked to orange france, you would need the orange FRA rom, if the phone came from o2 uk its the WWE O2 UK rom you need.
dont be confused by a phone that has been sim unlocked, it would still be rom locked.
Hi.
Just did this yesterday.
All you have to do is check the version installed.
Mine was 3.14.479.2 which is Eastern Europe.
So i downloaded the 1.66.479.2 and flashed.this flashed the 1.48 spl..
So problem solved.
forgot to mention the 3.14 it the rom version.the rest is region specific : in my case 479.2 means eastern europe.This is important.
Fox example i tried to flash WWE:1.66.405.2 (France Bouygues) but no luck. 0% and then error.
same problem - may be we need HSPL for SPL 3.03.0000
I experienced the same problem. may be we need HSPL for 3.03, or it is already available - i dont know....
Can anybody reply / answer / help us all who are having 3.03 and want to run NAND Android on their device ? ? ?
Thanks in anticipation.

Problem can easily be solved by installing the correct previous stock rom.
For example if you have now the 3.14.405.x stock rom you need to use previous version 1.66.405.x Red numbers need to be the same.
You can download the stock rom's on the HTC webpage, ore take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283

So downgrading to HSPL 2.08 didn't work ?
Ahh, dont worry i have got it working now!!
look like i had an iffy usb cable which was stopping HSPL4 from connecting correctly.
All sorted and WP7 now running, though after all that i dont think i like it!!!
