Got an HD2 TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) branded with ROM 1.72.901.1 and Radio 2.07.51.22_2. TIM lock was removed by someone else and first I installed Artemis 4.5 but it was really sluggish so I downloaded stock 3.14 version from HTC and installed it which brought the system back to regular Win with logo on top (Artemis had it at the bottom). ROM was
_HTCHD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_ITA_3.14.408.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
What I noticed is that the radio is not what is on the above link but instead has remained the old one 2.07.51.22_2.
Shouldn't the ROM upgrade have changed the radio too with the new one (2.15.50.14 in this case)?
In either case Android on the SD card did not work and the phone gets stuck at the black screen with the really tiny lines of text. I tried a few of the major builds of Android with the same results.
Since Clearcad removes windows from memory the version of Windows should not matter and the only thing left is the radio but can it block the loading of Android or could it be the fact that it was a carrier (TIM) branded phone (can't really imagine that the carrier has had HTC make specific hardware mods to screw up changes to it)?
I have downloaded the 2.15.50.14 radio by itself but when I tried to install it the SSPL program tell me that it wants to replace the existing ROM 3.14 with this so I stopped. If I continue will the radio upgrade just replace the radio section or will it replace everything? Tried to look at other posts but everyone is different and couldn't find a situation similar to mine.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks

Sounds like problem after problem mate!
For sure, you do need to upgrade the radio. 2.07.xxxxx is just too old. It needs to be at least 2.08.50 (not 51), but I would strongly recommend the one you talk about yourself (2.15.50).
Flashing just the radio will not erase anything on your phone. Only a ROM flash will do that.
i had the same problem running android on my hd2............then i update my radio version to 2.12 then it worked.........
Thanks
Thanks guys
I was afraid the radio might have been the culprit.
Given the info in my original post above can you tell me what I should do and which program I should use to flash the new radio trying to minimize the risk to brick the thing and should I re-install the ROM afterward ?
Why the ROM upgrade did not take care of the radio upgrade in the first place?

The ROM upgrade should have upgraded the radio at the same time. If it's not big deal to you, I'd flash the ROM again to see if it has any effect.
No changes
reinstalled official 3.14 but radio stays at 2.07.51.22_2
Still don't know what is the program to install new radio and if I risk bricking the phone doing it. It seems strange that it doesn't allow the upgrade from within the rom.
Now I need to look for rom 1.72.901.1 to go back to the origins.
Suggestions on best way to install new radio is appreciated.

correct, most (all?) cooked roms do not include a radio. Only official roms.
When you get your new one, never ever flash an official rom that isn't tmous.
Cooked roms will tell you 'tmous compatible', but ALL non tmous shipped ones are not compatible.
Hi everyone,
I have a stock HD2, bought it from eastern EU.
I do sms alot amongst other things but the problem is that sometimes the sms i send never reach the destination.
I did check if the other person i not out of signal and so and anything regarding signal issues and network coverage.
I activated the delivery reports and as stated sometimes the sms never gets in the air.
If anyone had the same problem or knows a fix for this issue i would be much obliged.
Regards
P.S. sometimes if i don't get a delivery report with delivered or any at all, i restart the phone (turn off, back on) and i do recieve the reports and the sms are sent.
Sometimes not, like at the moment...
Whats your ROM version? Any updates or patches applyd?
Thank you for your post!
Excuse me for i really forgot to mention my ver and so on.
OS 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Ver 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE
Rom date - 18.11.2009
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
The only updates i made to the software were the ones on the oficial htc web page.
No updates to the ROM because for my serial number none could be applied.
I am very new to the WM world so i didnt want to make any changes to the phone that would result in an expensive brick
Hope this will help you help me,
Regards
there should be an official update for the sms prob om the htc forum. also i strongly suggest updating your ROM to atleast 1.66 stock (or a custom one)
Thanks for the reply,
Problem is that i did try the official HTC update for the sms application.
Also i did try to update my ROM from the official site but when asked to enter my serial number it prompted me that the update is not suitable for my phone.
Kind of scared to update the ROM as my noobish self could brick the phone by doing something idiotic.
Also i wouldnt know wich of the milions of ROMS out there is recomended for my type of phone.

The reason is because all the mobile operators add their own personalisation to the ROM (ie T-Mobile will have Web'n'Walk in the ROM). So not to step on the mobile companies modifications, HTC will only give their ROM updates to unbranded phones (this is done through the serial number). To get the ROM update from the operator you need to go to their website.
Personally I would go to the ROM section on here and follow the instructions in install the 1.66 standard ROM. Please read the instructions and just not go straight to the download area. The 1.72 ROMs are the 1.66 ROM with mobile company branding.
Thank you for the reply,
I am going to do just that, thanks also for clearing the ROM issue for me.
Trying to install ROM 1.66 then.
Hope i will manage to
Hi,
I have a Hero (A6262) bought in australia (from australian retailer) and have successfully rooted/ran custom Roms previously.
I currently have Arman's bootloader installed and can easily switch between custom roms.
however, I simply want to revert back to the shipped rom (for warranty purposes) but every single original HTC RUU I have tried errors with "invalid custom ID". I've tried every single WWE stock RUU from the "[ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links" list... but to no avail...
Could anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong, or to point me to the correct RUU please?
thanks for your time
found my issue - well I think i did ....
it now works after updating to the latest RA Recovery rom... all ID issues resovled.
weird ;-)
Hi, were you able to find an Australian RUU? my hero cannot get pass bootloader screen and it would be really great for me to have the Australian RUU.
thanks
I too need a stock AUSTRALIAN hero RUU or ROM. I don't care if its 1.5 or 2.1 just something completely stock and local.
Ok with a little more searching i fond this [ROM]RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_AUS_3.39.710.1
I cant post links but search this and you should find it
About to try it.
As the thread title, does anyone know what the original Orange UK radio was? (The updated one which fixed call quality?)
I am using KevinPwhite's ROM but I still have call quality issues but this ROM uses 0300.76. I like the ROM though so I was going to cook my own Radio in however I have no idea what the original is! Ideally need the answer ASAP because the phone's warranty runs out soon
I am guessing it's 5000.167? Anyone confirm this?
Found it:
build 218765072
software version 5005.0001.76
radio version 5001.0001.76
N ow on to figure out how to remove the radio and replace!

Your guess is correct, 5001.76 is the radio version used on the orginal Orange ROM.
If you are going to replace the radio, 5001.0300.76 is the best radio to use in the UK if you ask me.
Instructions for changing radio can be found on here using tgtool which is quite straightforward.
I bought an unlocked Atrix a while back from amazon and had it shipped to me to latin america (Panama). It ended up being a German O2 version with Froyo and a N_01.95.00R baseband/radio. It's been running great with everything unlocked and TDS ROM, however I've always had that nagging feeling that I should flash to a newer radio firmware.
Would anyone advise against it? More than looking for how to flash a radio (I read about fruitcake), I'm more interested in finding out which radio is it safe flash or which would be the correct one for me to flash. I'm a bit lost on this, since there doesn't appear to be a lot of information on the subject compared to everything else.
Unless you're having problems with your current radio - I'd just leave it alone. If you dont know what you're doing, you'll only break something.
