[Q] T Mobile UK - 3.14 ROM? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a T Mobile UK HD2 which had HSPL 1.42 on and a custom ROM.
Today I have flashed to the last T Mobile UK stock ROM downloaded from the HTC website with my serial number. I flashed it using SD card method.
I would like to try and upgrade my phone to the latest 3.14 stock ROM, but the HTC site will not let me download this, saying it is not suitable for my phone.
Is there any 3.14 Stock ROM I could use on my phone, and if so should I flash through activesync or use the SD card method. My phone details are posted below, and thanks for any advice that can be given.
I have searched threads and read plenty but have been unable to find the answer.
I don't really want to use goldcard method etc to get a custom 3.14 installed.
ROM Version 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE - 04/02/10
Radio - 2.07.51.22_2
SPL-1.66.0000 XE

Hello sir; fore the moment there isn't a 3.14 T-Mobile UK stock ROM available (like you discovered already).
But if you will, you can update it to a general 3.14 WWE stock ROM. (ex: WWE_3.14.405.2)
In this case you need to use the GoldCard technique.
PS, very important is to remove first HSPL!!
Or els you need to wait till HTC/T-mobile have released there stock ROM update.

---

Thanks, looks like I will wait then.
I surely have already removed HSPL when I flashed back to stock rom and now have a phone still under warranty?
I also guess there is no date for when HTC will relase a 3.14 ROM for T Mobile UK?

1) yes, when HSPL is bean removed all is okay for warranty.
2) No sir, there is no date know for the release of a T-Mobile 3.14 stock ROM.

That is a very good link and guide you have posted and which I previously did not see for goldcard. I would like to try the Artemis ROM, but have 2 questions.
Do the members linked kindly supply the code by PM?
I have a 2 Gbyte micro SD card, does this only have to remain in the phone for the flashing process then I can revert to my normal 8 gbyte micro SD card?
Thanks again for the advice and guide.

If you will use/install the Artemis stock ROM; first off all you need to use the GoldCard technique to upgrade your drivers to Stock 3.14
PS, read also the hole step by step guide create by oliverweidel Link on Artemis Thread
And if/when you contact oliverweidel friendly by PM I think he can helps you for a GoldCard code
And yes, the Goldcard on your 2GB SD is temporary, after installation of stock ROM you can used your traditional SD card.

---

thanks, I may try this tomorrow then. Have already downloaded the atremes rom, will also download the stock rom you have linked to.
no danger of bricking my phone with wrong radio? seems to be a lot of threads about this? as long as using stock rom then atremis rom should be OK?

Don't panic about the radio sir. you have a European device, and the link is a European stock ROM with radio integrated.

Thanks again, I have run PSAS and sent a PM hopefully to get the image file to allow me to prepare my micro SD card.
I will now download the 3.14 stock rom, and flash it onto the HD2 from storage vard using the power up/vol button - once this is completed then I can flash to Artemis using activesync?

Yes, by using SSPL_RUU read information here

---

no progress - it would appear the PM I thought I had sent was not sent, therefore I do not have the image file. Wondering if I do not have enough posts to send PM's or something?
Anyway off to run PSAS again and try PM again.

---

OK, I ran PSAS again, with a 2 Gbyte SD card, and the code I got was the same as the one shown on the tutorial, so I downloaded the file, renamed it to goldcard.img and wrote the flash file and PSAS said it was successul.
I now have to flash the 3.14 stock rom, unsure how best to proceed with this - am I right in thinking
1. connect phone with usb cable and ensure activesync is running
2. power off phone (sd card inserted and sim card removed)
3. power on holding down volume key and enter bootloader (1.66.0000)
4. check usb is shown on white screen
5. run as administrator the stock 3.14 rom and let the HTC update software flash the stock rom.
once this is successful follow tutorial to flash artemis rom.
edited to add found other tutorial thread and am now flashing the 3.14 stock rom using the sd card and leoimg.nbh method - hopefully soon will have artemis on the phone
thanks

thanks a l ot to all on forum - phone now has artemis rom onboard.
Cheers
All the best for 2011 - happy new year

Hi Kurt,
Is this an official T-Mobile UK ROM? As I don't see it on the HTC website.

Based on the packaging it seems to be the original. But I must admit, (and it's very strange) that these Stock ROM is bean leaked before we see it on the HTC Webpage.

My first question would be, what is so great about the 3.14 ROM compared to the 1.66 WWE or even the 1.72 TMOUK?
All I've read about is problems (even forgetting about the 3.14 + HSPL).
I suppose the only advantage is that you could use SSPL to change from 3.14TMOUK to 3.14WWE rather than use the GoldCArd method (at least that is what I think you can do).
On a silly note, I don't want to say that I've installed a pi ROM on my phone.

some bugs are bean fix on the 3.14 stock ROM (But I must admit there are some other settings who don't pleasure now some users.)
Stock ROM 3.14 have received lot of updates.
Manila 2018 (possibility of manila rotation)
New integrated radio 2.15.50.14
lot of program updates;
Speed
Stability
....
But to be honest I'm not a big fan of stock ROM; but to be honest the 3.14 is the almost the best.
The problem that you see (almost everywhere) is due by two problems:
- Peoples don't reed the installation proses.
- Peoples don't follow the installation proses.
