hi,
quick question
i have just got my touch pro
1.90.401.1 wwe UK verison
can i use ur rom
and how do i install it
thanks
I'm no sure that you can flash it...but try maybe in will works,anyway wait HardSPL and you will flash any rom which you want
401 is not the UK WWE version.
All genuine UK devices should have 405.1 on them.
I think 401 is either the East European English, or the EU English. But if you have that one on there, you shouldn't be able to use this one without the HardSPL installed.
If the CID matches then you should be able to flash this to an EU or a UK Touch pro without problems.
I aint at home to download this yet, but somebody could easily let us know which CID it is built for?

Looks like only the Asian ROM is for a Raphael with a different CID:
I have a WWE Raphael bought in the Netherlands which has the same version ROM on it, so I expect its CID is HTC_001, I will test it later.

Yep most likely due to some of the keyboard differences etc...but its generally just to make sure localised ROMs are flashed to the intended device. Compatability should be 100% and just the keyboard may behave slightly different (AZERTY, QWERTY, QWERTZ etc...). Naturally a rebuild for HTC__001 or HardSPL would be needed for it to flash successfully (dont hold me to that, quite confident thats what the deal is though).
Ive updated the info in the wiki to reflect this, good work.

I tried flashing this into my Raphael which currently runs 1.90.401.1.
It goes all the way to the tri-color screen and the percentage bar.
But as soon as it hits 1% it gives the update utility gives the message "ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDER ID" (Typo included), and quits.
Is this CID related? Because the CID between 1.90.401.1 and 1.90.405.1 should be identical.
(Unless I have a 1.90.401.1 with a different CID).

You havent told us which model your device is, and also where it is from?!? Although i suspect the CID for the UK and EU models SHOULD be the same, UK is part of the EU technically so it shouldnt matter. There MAY be differences elsewhere though. The ROM might be built for SuperCID, you might need to double check with an nbh util....from what ive been told a SuperCID ROM will now NOT flash to a device which has a carrier CID now, this was not the case with earlier devices, like a multi-region DVD not working on a region-locked player?!
On the Identity tab of Device Information it does say its a "HTC Touch Pro T7272", I wonder how that's different from "HTC Touch Pro".
Ordered it the phone which is a WWE edition from a Dutch website and using it in the Netherlands obviously.
i cannot flash it either , same cid error and also have HTC Touch Pro T7272
I just know that mines factory unlocked, no carrier behind it.
Ok, using mtty to execute a "info 2" on the bootloader it seems that my HTC Phone has a CID of HTC__032, which would be why I cannot flash this ROM.
I have yet to see any ROMs for the HTC__032 CID.
no worries about CID. hardspl is out in about 10 mins
Hey guys, i`m new here... I read the thread, but still, i`m not sure if this is the right rom for me. Mine HTC is 1.90.478.2 NLD... I just want to make it with English language. So, can i use this ROM ?
Problem after flashing Raphael ROM
Hello guys, please give em a hand here.
Picked up a new Touch Pro last week. It was originally O2 so had been unlocked & flashed with both HardSPL 1.90 & RUU ROM version: 1.66.405.1 WWE
RoM Date: 07/14/08
Radio Version: 1.02.25.11
Protocol Version: 52.33.25.17U to change to English. Opera browser & Remote Desktop Mibile were missing.
I tried upgrading with:
ROM version: 1.90.405.1 WWE
Radio Version: 1.02.25.19
Protocol Version: 52.33.25.17U.
ROM flashing went well, but on TP reboot & customization, the progress bar would not get past the Opera 9 installation.
I have soft reset & then hard reset & still get same problem. The TP is still missing Opera browser & Remote desktop.
Has anyone experienced this or hav an idea what the problem is? Could it be a problem caused by the Hard SPL?

Hi,
I have also got the o2 version of the Touch Pro and reflashed it using this ROM. The flash completes fine and the phone reboots. I hard reset the device as soon as the flash completed and the phone wanted setting up.
I've now gone through the setup and the phone is installing the software but it has appeared to stop at the Opera9 installation.
The phone is currently sat saying 'Installing WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.CA (Looks like the B is at the end but runs off the screen lol)
I downloaded the ROM from this thread, ran the HardSPL to allow flashing and then just ran the exe file that I downloaded from here.
I've left it now for about 10mins and it hasnt moved, going to soft reset it and see what its doing, then try installin Opera 9 from a seperate CAB.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it alot!
Thanks in advance,
M_Taylor40
Hi this is my first post on this forum, I have read alot and i tried to run android on my HD2 but i found out that my radio was too low for the requirements.
My question is if I update my firmware from HTC itself... will it update my radio aswell? I don't know what rom to download from HTC as there are so many.
Here are some few details of my HD2:
OS Version: 5.2.21864
Manila Version: 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version: 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE
Rom date: 10/26/09
Radio Version: 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version: 15.26.50.07U
Flash size: 512mb
How can I run android on this phone and how can I get an official update as I have no trust in unofficial updates.
THANK YOU
its a regular hd2, or a telstra hd2. either way, none of the official updates for it contain a high enough radio for android..
where did people get the stock roms then? and whats the best way to get android on my phone by just running it on SD and how can i just patch just the radio and is it only the radio that needs to get patched?
they get stock roms from the thread in rom development called "leo official roms". but as i said, i'm pretty sure android needs a radio of 2.10.50 or so to work best, and the x.x.50 radios come from the tmous roms, so you would need to hspl to flash those radios..
your best option rather than asking here is to go read the android section. there are a few "how to"s in there will tell you all about it.

Hi, i have to know if updating my ROM (1.43.206.4) to 1.72.206.3 from HTC website can affect the phone being unlocked. I would also like to know how to upgrade my Manila from 2.5.1920 to a better one that supports Sense in landscape.
The cell on restart reads O2, is there anyway to get rid of that screen????

Hi, i have to know if updating my ROM (1.43.206.4) to 1.72.206.3 from HTC website can affect the phone being unlocked.
If you mean unlock from; unlock your device from your operator, than the answer will be NO!

Your Manila version will be upgraded at the same time you upgrade your Rom if it is build in! not every Rom Upgrade have a new Manila version, but the majority have. Way not take a cooked Rom thy have the latest manila version?

@ Kurt Willems
Thanks for your answer but when i said unlocked, i meant that my cell is already "unlocked" right now (using another network in India). What i need to know is whether the ROM upgrade will "Lock" it back to O2 since the upgrade that i will use reads:
ROM Version:1.72.206.3 for O2 only
NOTE: This update is for O2 UK devices currently on ROM version 1.43.206.4 only. Users with devices on ROM version 1.48.405.2 please click here (on the official HTC site)
So will this upgrade "LOCK" my phone back to O2???
and I guess i should ask a complete question.............please tell me which ROM to go for apart from the one mentioned above............i dont wanna brick my HD2
The complete specs are as follows:
OS Version 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manila Version 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
ROM Date 11/06/09
Radio Version 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version 15.26.50.07U
Okay, I sea more clearly now what you mean.
unfortunately I don't have a idea if it will lock again your device. In Belgium we don't have locked device so I don't have experience on this.
And I will not give you a wrong information.
Sorry!
no it will not re lock your device. Once unlocked, its permanent.
yes you can change the o2 splash screen. flash a different rom (some cooked roms dont have them, some do, all oficial ones do, flash a t mo one, you get a tmo splash, flash a generic htc one, you get a htc splash) or you can make your own, see my sig and many threads like it.
@ Kurt Willems and Samsamuel...............thanks a lot. There is one more thing that i need to know; i read somewhere that a wrong radio can damage the cell bad........wanted to know if the following Update would work on My existing ROM:
RUU_Le2_UK_1.72.206.3_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship (this is the ROM update file)
Existing :
OS Version 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manila Version 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
ROM Date 11/06/09
Radio Version 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version 15.26.50.07U
your current version tells us that you do not have a 'tmous' hd2, so you do not need to worry about the radio bricking your phone. That only applies to tmous hd2s, you have a 'regular' hd2.
i have been search on here and on some other sites for some long time to find a way to back up my stock rom installed on my HTC HD2 ..... but everybody is talking about cooking rom and backing up contacts or so .....
is there any way to back up my stock rom from my HTC HD2 before doing anything to my phone??
i just wanna keep a back up of the original rom before doing anything .... can anybody help me?
just download it, a million times easier.
look here [REF]Leo Official ROMs
i downloaded this ver from HTC site but this is very old ver ....... i got 1.66.... i checked the difference between the ver i have now and this one on HTC site 1.48 there is too many fixes and updates in the ver i got not in the 1.48 .... so im looking for some way to backup the rom i have now so i keep the latest official rom

rom version 1.66.415.4 (76641) WWE
radio version 2.07.51.22_2
there .....
its really strange that i cant find any of the great developers and programes on this site to help me in my problem
as it was stated in another threaduntil noe ther is no way to "extract" or "backup" an entire rom .
I perfectly see what you mean, its a problem for me too: i modded my 1.66 stock rom so heavily that it would take days to reconstruct my perfect running hd2 in case an update to new 3version stock or flash of cooked rom fails at all and/or dissatisfies me.
then i want to go back to the previous perfect state by just flashing my cutomized stock rom without any additional hazzle
Sashimi won't do this, no other app won't do this..........
Even Spb backup won't do this as I had to learn the hard way since reflashing seems to be not the same as just upgrading a rom .........
some things happen in the rom that we still do not fully understand ......
I have the same concern as winner1. I want try out some custome roms, but before that it would be nice to have some sort of backup of my stock rom.
troed mentioned there is no to "extract" or "backup" an entire rom. So there is the option of downloading a stock rom.
As a matter of fact I am a total noob and I have no idea on what i must to pay attention to. Could someone help me to find a download of my stock rom, please?
Despite there is no hardware-branding, I don't know if my rom is software-branded. It would be nice to have a branded rom if there was one.
I bought my HTC HD2 from the service provider Three in Austria in August this 2010.
Here are some additional information about my phone:
OS-Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82) / WM 6.5 Pro
Manila-Version: 2.5.19211619.0

The fact that your rom version is 1.66 tells us that although the phone is on 3, the rom isn't rom locked, so you use default HTC roms, not branded roms. (Which would have a 1.7x version)
Unless i am mistaken, this means you need the 1.66 HTC GER stock rom, which (amazingly) can be found on teh HTC germany website under support, pick your phone, downloads, rom updates., or, as per post two of this thread, the official roms thread, first post, first link, 1.66 folder, and teh one you want is called
RUU_Leo_HTC_GER_1.66.407.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
If you download it from teh htc website, you can confirm its the correct one by using your serial number, because it wont let you download it if its not correct.
does anyone have any idea if/when this ROM will be released?
what is the "sea-wwe rom"??
South East Asia - World Wide English
why so long....!
Yeah..i am waiting for....

I've been trying to do the same. 405 gave me an invalid vendor ID and I got nowhere. Did you manage to get SPL3.03 to install by flashing 3.14.405? Which SPL did you use?

Although I hadn't planned on up-dating my ROM, if there is/was one available, I do have a couple of questions.
1) How can I determine the region for my HD2? I also think it's Southeast Asia, but I could be wrong.
2) What is the clear advantage of up-dating the ROM. My phone is working quite well, and doing pretty much what I want, so I would only up-date if there's a significant reason for doing so.
Here's my info:
HTC HD2
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE
ROM date: 11/09/09
ROM Region: South-East Asia (I'm guessing here)
Radio version: 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol version: 15.28.50.07U
Thanks,
Peter
your rom .707 means that it is a malaysian unit

Thanks for the info. How did you determine the region? Is there a place online where one can see a list of ROM numbers and in what region they apply?
Thanks,

Addendum: I think you may be wrong. I just went to HTC's Malaysia site and tried to download the ROM up-grade listed for the HD2, but it said, "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
i think singapore and malaysia both have same units...the sea version..they have not released any rom updates there..so where were you trying to download from? ... also, kurt willems has posted it somewhere in his posts, the different roms region wise

As I said in my previous post, I tried to download the ROM up-grade from HTC's Malaysia site at the following link:
http://www.htc.com/sea/
If you go to ANY HTC site, click on "Select Country," and then click on Malaysia, you get the link above.
Now here's what's really weird (the RED part from another post of mine)...
Here are the details concerning my phone:
S/N: HT01XNW02546
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE
ROM date: 11/09/09
ROM Region: South-East Asia (I'm guessing here)
Radio version: 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol version: 15.28.50.07U
SPL: 2.08.HSPL (Old 1.42.0000)
I have tried virtually every HTC site online and only two of them allow me to download a ROM up-grade: The Hong Kong Traditional Chinese site, and the Hong Kong English site. However, and here's the hitch, both of the file names contain the letters CHT (not WWE) which, I believe, means Chinese. If I were to use this ROM, would my phone change from English to Chinese?
What can I do to up-grade. As you can see, my ROM is quite old. I'd really like to up-grade, but I don't want to brick my phone. It's working well right now, but if there are numerous improvements, perhaps up-grading would be a good idea.
Any thoughts, comments or suggestions?
Peter
Addendum: I see on page 1 of this thread that there are four possible ROMs that I could use (I think):
World Wide English (WWE) 3.14.405.2
Hong Kong: (HKSCL_WWE) 3.14.831.3
World Wide English (WWE) 1.66.405.2
South East Asia (Asian WWE) 1.66.707.1 (This one seems to match my S/N prefix)
What happens if I up-grade using any of the four above? Will some cause problems, will all work, will none work? Please help.
@ PeterHTC
Based on your information; (ROM version: 1.48.707.2)
You mention to have a x.XX.707.x ROM! (Aria Rom = South East Asia)
Now if you will try to install a other Rom aria version as the one you have fore the moment you need to install it over HSPL ore Goldcard.
But; HSPL and stock ROM 3.14 aren't compatible! So if you will install the latest stock ROM (3.14) you need to use GoldCard technique.
Install stock ROM 3.14 in combination with HSPL caused problems on limited Program Memory.
So use the GoldCard technique or wait fore a 3.14.707.x stock ROM.

In case peoples are looking for mirror download links; here you have: RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3
Anyone can tell me or point me to any site that tells what this ROM entails?
Here are the details concerning my phone:
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE
ROM date: 11/09/09
Radio version: 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol version: 15.28.50.07U
I have tried virtually every HTC site online and only two of them allow me to download a ROM up-grade: The Hong Kong Traditional Chinese site, and the Hong Kong English site. However, and here's the hitch, both of the file names contain the letters CHT (not WWE) which, I believe, means Chinese. If I were to use this ROM, would my phone change from English to Chinese?
I wish I'd read Peter's post before I downloaded the ROM upgrade!
I bought my HD2 in New York last March. The OS, ROM, Manila, Radio and Protocols versions were identical to Peter's listed above.
I went to the Hong Kong-English section of the HTC site, where ROM Version 3.14.831.3 (Release Date: 2010-11-02) was available to download.
My S/N was accepted and I proceeded to download the ROM. The installation instructions were mostly in Chinese, but foolishly I did not suspect anything and persisted with the installation, using guesswork and intuition. Also (foolishly) I failed to notice that the actual ROM I downloaded was Version 3.14.832.3 (04666) CHT.
Now I am stuck with a Chinese language HD2 which is virtually impossible to use.
Can anyone help please?

When I bought my HD2 - which is a 707 hardware. (Same deal, chinese mall in Toronto) it was in chinese, the girl changed it over to english for me and aside from the extra keyboard button that would kick it over into chinese from time to time, it was workable.
What I've done with mine, as I don't know chinese and gave up learning years ago, was install the latest Artemis ROM after goldcarding it. Instructions are on the thread. Goldcarding makes the hardware not check to see what region it is locked to while loading new firmware - so you can flash WWE or whatever you want to it.
