Flash back to standard - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I recently dug my HD2 out and flashed an Android NAND ROM, and I would like to return it to Windows Mobile for a short while.
The problem is that I can't find any working links for the standard ROM.
If I'm correct, it was 1.66 which was flashed with RUU?
Any help that anyone can give would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Chris.

There are a couple of working links in the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2#Official_ROMs_.26_Radios
Be absolutely sure to flash the correct rom for your device ie tmobile US or EU model. Else you may brick your device.

The problem seems to have been a rubbish USB cable.
Many thanks for your advice and the link - all working now.

Touch Dual Upgrade Wm 6.1

Hi all, where i can download the touch dual upgrade? someone can post a link please? I can't download it from official htc site becouse i have a branded phone.
thx
Mirrors for WM6.1 upgrade postet for some times here. Please use the Search...
Or take a look in my signature
can it go on branded??
I've been trying to find out the answer to this for a few days....but I get a bit confused with all the answers, terminology and talk of hard spl etc..
so please forgive the question... I would like a simple yes or no answer just to confirm what I think i understand from other threads...
Can the normal HTC supplied update for WM6.1 be applied to a branded phone (in my case Orange UK) without having to make any other adjustments first???
Thanks in advance
thx but i need the italian version..

Nope, you need to flash the uspl first. Check the sspl/uspl/hardspl thread. It's quite easy, first you put sspl on the phone and run it, then when the phone is in bootloader you flash the uspl. After flashing you can check if it went ok by going into bootloader (check wiki how to do it). If you can confirm that you have uspl, then just flash the new 6.1 original.
There's nothing else to it (it works also on vista). I did it with my t-mobile branded phone.

Thanks for that...I believed that was the case but there is sooo much info on here it was difficult to get to the bottom of it.
I'm not sure I want to do all that...if i brick it I can't afford a new phone so I might just leave it be.
Also, has anyone actually done this with an Touch Dual on Orange UK? does it work? The only confirmed upgrades i've found are on T-Mobile.
It would be a lot easier if Orange just supplied it wouldn't it????

Ok i have a UK version Toch Dual wich i bought here in belgium so it was already unlocked since i could use it on belgium networks. Also it is an unbranded one.
I flashed yesterday the new Official HTC Rom Windows Mobile 6.1 wich went all well no problems with flashing. It is a good rom, faster than the previous one. My question is since it is already unlocked can i flash any custom rom i can find here in the touch dual forum ???
Or do i have to do something witch the Uspl or hardspl ??? what is the different and what are the steps to use it with custom roms???
thanks alot

ALL official roms except tmobile US (tmous) official roms include a radio that WILL kill tmous phones.

nothing, I'm afraid. its dead. warranty? insurance?
if you bought it from amazon they are pretty good at returns (well in the UK at least)
I would call them up tell them you recieved the phone and its dead, i highly doubt they would be able to test it to find out that it could be user error
think thats your only chance

I have a Tmobile UK HD2 with the official ROM version 1.72......WWE.
I have installed HSPL3, and successfully flashed Radio 2.12.50.02_2 and I am about to experiment with a few custom Roms. Going from your post above, would I still be able to return to my original Official Tmobile rom should i decide to? I thought HSPL was to allow me flash both cooked and official roms? thanks for any advice you can give.

sure you can, you don't have a tmous so my previous post is not related to your phone.

[Q] original rom HD2?

hi guys,
I installed an android rom a couple of weeks ago, and it worked fine.
until my touchscreen stopped working. so now I want to restore my
phone to its original state, so I can send it in for repair.
but which radio, rom and SPL do I need?
I couldn't find it in other threads, so I figured that I should begin a new one.
I hope that someone has an answer to my question.

Try to find out, using the serial number of your HD2, to download a ROM from htc.com support. Usually, only the ROMs which are good for your device will be available to download - get one of them (older or newer), flash it via SD card method, this will delete MAGLDR (if installed), replace any HSPL and re-install the Radio ROM which is correct for the ROM you just downloaded and flashed.
Some ROMs from some operators may not be available, many of those can be found on forums like xda-devs.
Thnx, I've got my spl and rom back to the original! but how do I find out which radio I need?
Jean-Piere
The radio will have flashed with the stock rom. stock roms always flash the radio too, whether usb or sd card.

Did you follow the suggestions and flash FROM THE SD CARD? If so, the correct radio was installed.
follow all the instructions step then you have the correct version on it
Thanks!

For an unbranded HD2, you go to www.htc.com. Select the country from where you bought your HD2 (it doesnt matter where you live/use). Then go to the support section. Phone type select HD2. Find the ROM Update (latest one is 3.14.xxx). You will be required to put your Serial Number to download the rom.
For a branded HD2, go to the carrier's website. You may be required to put your IMEI instead of Serial Number.
Good luck

For tmous use t-mobile.com, they aren't on htc. Com

[Q] Some help with ROM upgrade.

Hello,
New to the forum, and this is probably a noob question, but after trawling through loads of threads on here my head is spinning and i need some advice!
I decided to upgrade the ROM of my hd2 today as i am having problems with sending sms. i bought the phone second hand recently. It is sim unlocked and there is no carrier branding on the phone that i have noticed.
I tried to get a ROM from the htc site and got the not suitable message, long story short after speaking to htc i found my phone is from the Czech republic.
Now i have had a look at the ROM flashing tutorial and i am confident with doing it, however i am unsure about whether or not i need to use the Goldcard method?
Can i download the latest ROM from the UK HTC site and put it on my phone just using the Hardspl method here?
Thanks for any help offered, and sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldnt find an answer to my question.

Thanks for the help, one other question though. Is there a way i can back up my current rom just incase? couldnt find any info on it other then reloading a stock rom.

[Q] Official 1.66.42.1 ROM?

OK so I'm new here to the HD2 forums so hey. I just been given one as a temp replacement to a broken SE Xperia Mimmi.
So I've found it easy to get android on to my HD2 and everything went smoothly (a few hiccups, nothing serious though). What I didn't think about though was the availability of the original ROM of windows mobile that was on the phone. I didn't write it down because I had read already that you can just flash back for warranty purposes. And I also knew that there were official ROMs posted here. But, I cant find the original Telstra branded ROM. Maybe I've missed it as I may be labelled something else, I don't know, but I have searched and i can't find it.
Can I please get some help as to where I can find this ROM or even another Telstra branded ROM.
If you need any more information from me just let me know.
Cheers,
Evil.
What about the Telstra ROM 1.72.841.0 provided on official Australian HTC site: http://www.htc.com/au/help/htc-hd2/#download
I don't know if there is any difference to New Zealand HD2 Telstra models.
You can also have a look on Telstra thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633404
Hey thanks for that. I dont need the NZ one if there is one, just the australian one as the phone is from there.
The link to the htc site works but when I click on download it doesn't download, it redirects to a google chrome page saying
"Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to dl4.htc.com"
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Evil
I tried IE8 and FF8, both are working, file is downloadable.
