can somebody please help me, I have flashed 5 different ROM's to my vodafone HD2 and have encountered a varying degree of problems with each one. I would very much like somebody to tell me where I can get a Stock ROM not locked to any carrier so I can reflash my pretty usless fone or indeed to help direct me to a stable cooked ROM that would allow my fone to work again.
Thanks is advance.
P.s - my first post so please be gently, also the last 3 I have tried are Artemis ROM's with no sucessful outcomes.

[Q] htc hd2 stock rom 6.5.3

there is no stock rom that is 6.5.x They are all 6.5
Not sure what you mean by stock rom not locked to a carrier, , do you mean a non branded rom (the ones marked HTC WWE, look HERE or in the various threads in the rom development section.) or do you mean you want to unlock your phone to use any network? in which case no amount of any kind of flashing will do that. Ask voda for a code, or buy one online.
Sounds to me like you need to return all the way to stock and start over. Get any of the voda roms from that link above (theyre marked vodaphone, you cant miss em, theres a 1,43 one, a 1.66 one ((if you're a brit)) or 1.72 if you have a european language voda.
Get that, and either
1 - remove hspl by running hspl.exe and choosing 1.66.0000
then
2 - run the downloaded rom.exe and flash over usb
or
1 - extract ruu_signed.nbh from the rom.exe you downloaded,(look it up if you dont know how) copy it to a formatted fat32 sd card smaller than 8gb, and rename it leoimg.nbh then start the phone into bootloader and it will ask you if you want to flash.
that way you are back to teh start, and you can apply hspl and start again.
(For people reading this thinking 'he didnt say do a task29',, its my understanding that using the official .exe to flash the rom does a task 29 anyway, and its been edited out of customruu.exe so it can be used to flash radios without wiping the rom,,,correct? yes no?)
I try 6 Rom but noone will work fine
Vodafone rom 1.72
I am not looking to unlock the fone, simply find a Rom that is 6.5.3 that is stable. I have just flashed back to voda 1.72 but that is 6.5, im fussy and don't like the start button at the top. I'm in scotland so need something that will work here ok on vodafone.
I was hoping to find a rom that had not been altered and as such an original (Stock) ROM.
your help is much appreciated.
There are no such stock roms for the HD2. If you want to flash a stable rom in the style you like (start button at the bottom) then you will need to HSPL (search the forum) your phone and I suggest you start with Dutty's rom. It's very stable and as close to stock as can be. You can always flash back to an original rom for warranty reasons if you need to.
tnx, trying one now. fingers crossed.
ok, just flashed one of duttys roms but now my phone will not boot, it turns on and stays at the htc splash screen. Wont turn off have to pull out the battery. If it will not boot how can I re-flash it? Any suggestions?
did you flash hspl? you will also need the newer radio 2.15.50_04

I hope you did some reading before you flashed!!
Put your phone into bootloader by holding the vol down side key and use a pen to push the little reset button when the back cover is removed. You should get a tri colour screen which shows you the hspl version you have. If you do this you can flash the correct radio which is probably why the phone will not boot.
all I have done previously is downloaded .nbh files and used SSPL_RUU.exe to flash and they have all flashed sucessfully, but with the after effects of either connection problems or freezing issues.
I have managed to re-flash to the vodafone 1.72 software so at least it is working again, this is not by any means where my talents lie. im a hardware guy, not software, so finding this all a bit confusing. I may just go with the artemis v33 rom which seemed to work the best apart from occassion signal dropouts.
Just out of curiosity - which hspl and radio are you using?
in the settings it says radio 2.07.51.22-2 and i believe the hspl was 1.42
just checked bootloader, spl 1.66

If you are sure it's SPL, than your problems are normal sir. To be able to flash custom ROM you need HSPL ex (1.66 HSPL)
is there another way to check other than in bootloader?

Hi to everybody.
I have an Hermes 200 Vodaphone VPA compact 2 v1605.
I wanna put into this pda the latest Schap's 4.31 ROM.
I have done the mrVanx procedure and I have successfully installed the 2.10 Hard-SPL-V7.
Now I wiil explain my two problems:
- I don't know if my pda is CID unlocked or not... With the HardSpl flashed on my pda, should I be scared about that or not?
I think HardSPL turn my pda into supercid... right?
- If ROM flashing procedure will be stopped by a pc crash, I can unbrick my pda easily? In wich way?
Should I use the mrVanx guide to flash pda or I follow microsd guide?
Many thanks
I should have read the wiki. Either way, and since nobody helped me when i needed and i had to find it all by myself, i know how frustrating it might be. So ill give u hand.
First go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Download that tool that will superCID ur phone and Hard SPL it automatically. Pay attention to every step.
After that, and since the hard spl installed by that tool is rather old, go here:
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
In the middle of that tuturial u will find the link to the mostly used version of hard spl and how to update ur rom to one of the cooked ones around here.
Soz if my english aint perfect but im not english nor american though.^^
Thanx for reply. But i think you haven't understand my question.
I think my pda is already SuperCID because i have installed the 2.10 HardSPL.
Somewhere in this forum or in the wiki i found that if I flash my pda with 2.10 HardSPL I don't have to use unlocker because this version allow SUPERCID mode.
Am I wrong???
My pda is also already sim unlocked. Infact it is Vodofane (english or german) but i can use TIM italian sim card without problems.
Now my question is:
If I write the schap's ROM with SD procedure, should I scared about RADIO ROM damage?
I found that schap's ROM doesn't modify RADIO, right?
..so i think that SD procedure is the safer way.
Thanks
Not really, most if not all cooked roms DON'T have the radio rom cooked in as there is no perfect rom for everyone, its carrier compliant. Just because a new radio rom comes out doesn't mean its going to improve your reception or battery life, sometimes it causes problems, hence the chefs give you the option of what radio to use.
Now, Hard SPL is only a safety net, things can still go wrong but if they do there is a load of information on how to fix it, ESPECIALLY if you've installed Hard SPL. Make sure its version 7 so the spl reads as 2.10 olipro when you enter bootloader (power button, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus, hold in until you get to tricolour screen). Just soft reset with stylus to get out.
Personally, as you have Hard SPL, I'd use the sd card method to flash your os. Its on the forum MANY times over. A quick search should find it. VERY EASY and, I believe, safer than using the pc. Just make sure the battery is charged.
Hope this helps....
Cheers....

Yes i have HardSPL v7 2.10 installed on my pda.
This mean I'm in supercid mode and I'm able to flash any rom. right?
I haven't to use the sim cid unlcker, right?
I haven't understand this:
At the moment I don't want to change my RADIO ROM.
Latest schap's ROM doesn't modify RADIO so my radio ROM remain the same. Is this true?
If I flash schap's ROM should I to flash a RADIO ROM that works with schap's one? Or does my RADIO continue to work?

I have a brand new hermes since last week and i passed a lot of blocking and stucking in the bootloader. However, the first ROM i installed was Schaps one and on that time i didn't even have my phone Hard SPL'ed or SuperCID'ed! I used that tool of SSPL. But if u say ur phone is already Hard SPL you will have no problems installing the schaps rom. In addition, the RADIO ROM will not be modified with his rom. I must say that besides his ROM was installed perfectly, there are some other cooked ROMs that require your phone to be SuperCID'ed.
Thanks for your reply.

Is this a good thing or bad one?
I mean: my pda now has no problem about RADIO and I don't want to change nothing about RADIO ROM.
If i flash schap's ROM the pda continue to work well with my RADIO? or the schap's ROM work well with some RADIO ROM an bad with other.
Thanks
You won't change your radio rom and yes it will still work with ANY rom you use (as long as its for the Hermes).
ok!!!
Now it's time to flash.
Thanks a lot!!

It works good on mine. And no, it doesnt modify your ROM.
As stated before, the chefs tend to let YOU decide what radio to use... There is no perfect radio rom and location/carrier seems to determine what is the best radio for you.

I put the rom in microsd renamed in HERMIMG.nbh
I start the bootloader withe ok + power + stylus but the flash procedure doesn't start. I have only the bootloader screen with 4 rows:
RED HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10 OLIPRO
GREEN
BLUE
WHITE SERIAL
what's the matter?
p.s.
I'm using a 2g sandisk
with 1gb microsd sandisk it works!!
Flash successfull!!
Thanks to everybody
sfrangebob, it should work with a 2gb too, It needs to formatted fat32 though.
Congrats and welcome to the wide world of Phone upgrading...
DISCLAIMER - Phone flashing can be addictive....
I know.. I formatted it many times but the flashing operation doesn't start.
With 1 gb it starts on the first attempt.

My phone is running on
OS VERSION:5.2.23569
MANILA VERSION:2.5
ROM VERSION:Cruzer 5th WWE
Radio Version:2.15.50.14
I've had enough of using the Cruzer 5th rom already and wish to update back to the normal Official HTC ROM. I've downloaded the RUU_Updates for both 1.66 and 3.14 and both have failed in updating the phone's ROM.
The problem is that once my cpu has detected the phone.
The phone will then reset and get's stuck on the screen which has a few colors.(The one we use to check our HD2's flash version like HSPL). Then the loader on the screen of my CPU will be stuck at 0%. And guess what...before you know it...the entire operation will cancel and it will say that its not able to update my ROM. What on earth? Please help me. I'm only not able to update back to the official rom software. Apart from that,the other cooked roms which have been made available for download from the other users can be used to update my rom.
I need help. Please help me. Thank You! i look forward to your solutions!!!
You can use other roms and if you look/use the search option your answeres are here somewhere
could be a stuck radio rom, there have been several examples where the radio prevents spl and radio (and hence stock roms) from flashing.
try your CORRECT stock rom from sd card flash, if that fails its either
1 - not actually your correct stock rom or
2 - you are flash stuck. no clue how you would solve that.

At first I had two options like SPL-3.03 or SPL-3.03.HSPL to instal, that first one was making the problem that you writing of, but after I instaled SPL-3.03.HSPL I can instal other roms.

I know you said you downloaded the two ROM's from the HTC website. I don't know if you have a TMOUS HD2 then I suggest downloading the official upstream ROM from the T-Mobile website it is the 3.14 ROM.
I think what has happen to you is you had a bad flash and if you flash the 1.66 ROM first then you changed your SPL and now you don't have the correct split to flash the flash the 3.14 ROM. I recomemd you download and use HSPL 4 to change your SPL to SPL 3.03.0000 then try to flash the update ROM. Or you could flash it via your SD card that should force the changing of your SPL with out you doin yourself. JUst my thoughts on the situation.
hi everyone,changed from my iphone to an htc hd2 & wish i hadnt bothered,im not impressed with this phone at all,anyway my phone seems to be unlocked cause it takes orange or tesco sim card and ive updated to latest rom from htc site,it was originally vodafone so thats the only rom update i could install,anyway im looking for help to update to a custom rom of this site and was wondering if anyone could direct me in the right direction.
heres my phone spec
os version=5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
manilla version=2.5.20121429.0
rom version=1.72.161.3 (82124) WWE
rom date=03/24/10
radio version=2.07.51.22_2
protocol version 15.32.50.07u
any advice would be most appreciated to get this phone running a bit better than it is as im considering getting rid and going back to apple
please help a newbie
apply hspl2, then flash any rom you want.
start by reading some of the links HERE especially the one marked
# [TUT] Flashing your First GSM 512LEO Rom (For Noobs) <-- A must read if you are new to this
hi,do i need to do this part ?
install a regedit software on your Leo e.g. PHM regedit also original PHM Site (offline at the moment)
--b: Run the regedit software
--c: Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
--d: Look for 00001001 double click it and change the setting from 2 to 1
--e: Reboot the HTC LEO
i installed on the phone but none of the files will open ?? phm regedit that is,and do i need to buy that program PSAS ?
There are some steps which you need to do:
- read into the threat of installing HSPL
it explains everything in a logical manner.
HSPL is needed to install a custom ROM
- read into how to install a new RADIO version and look which RADIO you need (wrong version can corrupt your installation)
- read into how to install custom ROMS. A few good ones are Miri & Dinik v19, Artemis and some other stable and fast ROMs with some eye candy
But you wished you hadent change to HD2? Why is that? I truely think its the best phone out there atm. You can have custom ROMS, Andriod/WP7/Ubuntu/W95 or 98 and Meego ports on your SD card wich work almost as a native system. There is no phone with that much OS options. Soon there will be a native Andriod install in the NAND of the phone. This phone is hardly restricted from modivying, I would say not at all. Which you cant say from other phone brands or the IPhone which in my eyes is like driving a Ferarri with a Driver and a communist with a gun (Steve Gay Jobs) in your neck .. it sucks like hell and your scared to death they'll brick you if you modivy something which you bought and can be considerd your possesion. The urge of controll pushed by Apple makes me sick and avoide buying any Apple products.

thats not nessecary when you update the stock rom, HTC updates those mods in their new updates so its not neccesary. If you continue searching you prolly will find some cabinets (WM6 installing packages what will change it for you.

Sir if you mean with "the updated rom from htc" = stock ROM 3.14 you need to know that stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible with HSPL. (remove HSPL!)

There are no stupid questions, only the response can be stupid (Ow that's mean's me )
Okay lest start from the beginning.
In case you have a T-Mous device you can ignore my previous communication about HSPL.
But in case your devise isn't a T-Mous device; than you need to remove HSPL.
HSPL in combination with stock ROM 3.14 gives you only +/- 50MB of free program memory and gives lot of issue.
So in this case you need to remove HSPL before install stock ROM 3.14.
In case you use stock ROM 3.14 on a non T-Mous device you can't use HSPL so that means your radio version will stay 2.15.50.14.
Hope with this information it's more clear for you.
hi,the htc hd2 i have was originally on vodafone but the phone is unlocked to take any sim card now,i installed the very latest rom update on htc site which was the vodafone rom,the only rom it would allow me to install with my serial number,ive done nothing else but install hspl2.

In your case you have a branded device, and HSPL isn't working well in combination with stock ROM 3.14 you need to use the GoldCard Technique to be able to install 3.14 stock ROM correctly.
@Kurt unless by 'the latest from the site' he means the 1.66/1.72 rom,,,, he never mentioned 3.14,,,, in which case all the 3.14 vs hspl talk is just confusing the issue. He said he flashed the rom THEN installed hspl2, meaning it cant be the 3.14 rom, because hspl wouldn't have installed.
@OP enter bootloader, look by 'spl'.
If it says 1.xx.0000 or 2.xx.0000 or 1.xx.hspl or 2.xx.hspl then you can flash anything,. rom or radio, cooked or stock,(plus hspl2, of course) but not 3.14 roms. (You will get the 50MB issue kurt mentioned running a 3.14 rom on any of those.)
If it says 3.03.0000 then you can flash 3.14 based roms using SSPL.
Oh, and re: the warranty, , , once you have flashed the rom (forget 3.14 for now) you can immediately remove hspl using hspl2.exe, voila, warranty restored.

hi,done nothing to the phone but install latest vodafone rom from htc site & installed hspl2 and thats all,its come up with vodafone splashscreen and phone accepts any sim card.
when i got the phone it has never been updated & it was so buggy,so i have the latest vodafone rom installed on it & hspl2 nothing else not tried any roms or radios or anything
hi,hopefully thats cleared up now,so i take it i can put a custom rom on the phone now ? and any recommended roms ? and do i need to updte my radio rom also and what one/versions should i install ?
thanks for everyones help i appreciate it, as this is hard going from an iphone to this complicated device
anynon 3.14 rom yes, and read the first few posts of any rom, it will advise what radios to use.

network lock completely unconnected to rom locked. even once it's unlocked, it is still rom locked, and the opposite is also true, applying hspl to a network locked phone will not allow other sims to be used.

My HD2 needs to go in for repair so I need to remove HSPL and flash a stock WinMo ROM ready for monday when it is getting collected.
I have followed the instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623402 but the screen does not go grey, there is a very quick flash then it returns to the multicoloured screen and pressing the power button does nothing
Would someone be kind enough to enlighten me here as I have to sort this before Monday.
Cheers in advance

the quick flash is the bootloader looking for a valid file, and usually means one of a few things..
1 - the file isn't correctly named leoimg.nbh
2 - you simply renamed the htc_wwe_blahblah_.exe to leoimg.nbh instead of extracting ruu_signed.nbh and renaming THAT.
3 - you are using an sd card bigger than 4gb (not always the case, but most times bigger cards fail)
4 - the card is formatted FAT16 instead of FAT32
5 - hspl isn't installed after all and the ROM is not a match for the phones ROM/region lock. (what does the spl line say in bootloader?)
try those, see if it resolves it.
fix
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 and on the 4th post there is a zip at the bottom download unzip and run and just choose the non hspl
what hspl are you running?
Ok tried again and the bootloader screen looks like this
thats the right on but the last line about the touch is different i have 50 instead of 40
Any reason why it would be different?
Wanna make sure its dont right, dont want em sending it back and telling me I have hacked it
That's only a valid spl if you have a tmous,,,, if you have a regular hd2 then any spl starting 2 is wrong. Only tmous roms use 2.x spls.
Its a UK O2 phone mate, what have I done wrong then?

Well without scanning back through the thread, I'm guessing you had 2.08.hspl installed and ran hspl2 or 4, which will have defaulted to the opposite, namely 2.08.0000,
Or,you SD flashed a tmous stock rom, which didn't initially fail because hspl was installed, but then failed to continue to flash after the spl had changed because hspl was no longer there.
Fix - run hspl2 (hspl2 is the most usefull for us reg Leo users) and choose a matching spl to the rom version installed ...
Rom ....... spl
1.43 ....... 1.42.0000
1.66 ....... 1.66.0000
3.14 ....... 3.03.0000 -- you would need to use Hspl4 for this.
If the phone is buggered and wont boot, then it doesn't really matter which you choose, so long as it's one of those three.
(And in fact it probably wouldn't matter even if the rom and spl don't match,, they're only really interested in the spl, just nice to be cautious,would be a pain to have it sent back on a technicality)
Phone boots but I cant do anything with it due to the screen freeze which is why its going back to HTC.
Ok now it tells me I dont have SPL 1.42 on my phone and it refuses to flash a stock ROM :/
Guess I am screwed, new phone time

You're using the wrong hspl.exe, its v1 that requires 1.42 to work,,,try again.
Ok I think I got it
I should flash the latest ROM again aswell really as they asked me to do that when I rang em yesterday
All sorted and upgraded to the latest ROM ready to go back to HTC.
Cheers mate saved me a lot of heartache
Welcome...
while on this topic, im using Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14** via HSPL
now i wish to return to my stock (which i am pretty sure is this :
RUU_Leo_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
(i copied down these details when i got my phone on the first day)
do i need to roll down to Radio 2.05.51.05_2 ?
i cant seem to get this ROM installed, whether its 1.42 SPL or 2.08 HSPL
i removed HSPL, and definitely not a TMOUS hd2 but cant install the stock rom
Have looked around but cannot find a stock Cingular HTC Titan (Eternity ?) rom. Previous thread hosted by Football is defunct.
Can anyone please point me to Stock Singular HTC Titan rom?
I am trying to uninstall HSPL ( I am at the dreaded 2.5 SPL, ATT Titan 1) and need this stock rom to try to revert back to 1.0 SPL.
For my ATT HTC Titan I, I debranded, SPL, HSPL and it says HSPL is there on the Phone's SPL screen - but I cannot use any custom rom that uses Radio 17. Only radio 16 works.
Thanks
my SPL screen shot
My SPL screen shot is attached below
BTW, anyone see any issues with the SPL screen above?
I am unable to run any rom that needs radio 17.

Your HSPL is good.

There is nothing wrong with your phone; in fact there are many here who would give their life to own your phone. For many of the custom ROMs here you have to flash "radio 16" with radio 17. If you have not done this then your phone will be stuck at the HTC logo on startup. You have "gold" in your hands and you don't know it.

Please no, why?
You are one of the few with the ATT Titan's to have HSPL on there.

That is because you need to flash radio 17 after you flash the rom

locky you, have hspl 2.5, if you want change my divece for your divece....... what you said? :angel:
Guys, I have tried the roms listed here on this site that also have the associated radio files as well But everytime I install a custom ROM, with the radio 17, my phone stops at th e HTC logo and never moves from it.
Also, I cannot update the SPL 2.6 from HTC now - it always stays at SPL 2.5
My only need is to unlock my phone so that I do not have to keep enterting the unlock code everytime the phone restarts. I have bought the unlock code from ebay and it does work, but have to keep entering it after every boot cycle.
I found the cingular Eternity 1.0 ROM, installed it - but the SPL continues to remain @ SPL 2.5 with the HSPL info as is on the SPL screen.

"Lund123" I need you to listen to me for a moment...if your device is stuck at the HTC logo on startup, your radio is incompatible with the ROM on the device. If you have already flashed the custom ROM and it requires you flash the radio it will be with the entire package you downloaded. I use Eburon 2.1; the radio and ROM are separate and both must be flashed from bootloader mode. To use Eburon you must flash the radio that comes with it. Your device is HSPL; it needs no further tinkering with. The custom ROMs can be flashed at will. One warning, a return to official stock ROMs will likely re-lock your phone. The goal of these threads are to achieve what you apparently don't realize; you are HSPL. It is not automatic for many of us to achieve this; HSPL opens your device in a way that can only be described a dream. You're lucky! Flash the radio separately from the bootloader; it's no different than flashing the ROM. In regards to having to re-enter a code; it appears your device may not be subsidy (carrier) unlocked or there is a security lock put on the device which it will ask before it launches the OS. That may require you running what a few of us in the old days did with our HD2s and Rhodiums...perform a task 29, but you may need a deeper "wipe" something akin to a low-level format on a PC.
"berrywr": I get that HSPL is already on the phone, and I am grateful for that. But I believe, I have loaded both the custom rom + radio that comes with it with no positive results.
I have tried the Dynamics ROM (as an example) and the Radio that comes with tit. First I flased the ROM uising the bootloader method. Then I repeated the same for the Radio. Same results, stuck on HTC logo. I have used the RUU program that it comes with to load the roms. I even have tried using the GOLDCARD for these roms, but same results. And Yes, I get it that I need to install the rom first and then the radio that comes with the package. Interestingly, my Radio on the SPL screen never changes to Radio 17, it always stayed 16 (like in the image posted on the 2nd message, I have never seen it read Radio 17.xxx).
Thanks

It's possible you have the radio glitch where the radio does not change after flashing. Have you tried searching the Titan thread, to see if anybody else has mentioned the problem? I know I swear I've seen this happen to other users...I will do a search tonight to see if I can find anything.
I have looked around and most of the folks are having trouble getting the HSPL to load, my problem has not been stated elsewhere that I could find. I for some reason have the HSPL but I cannot do the following:
1. Cannot use the HSPL program to revert back (uninstall HSPL). When I tried to install OSPL from within the program it errors out.
2. If I install any other radio than 16, it does not take affect - the update goes successfuly, but the SPL screen shows radio 16
3. I cannot install the SPL 2.6 from HTC - it does not take affect. The SPL screen still shows 2.5. Since I cannot have SPL 2.6, I am unable to get some OS updates.
Will keep looking. RUU and goldcard programs - both working properly but result in same outcomes.
