Interesting, thanks for the heads up!!

no problem now i face an issue
it seems the latest europr rom is still 1.14
the only 1.19 is the orange uk shipped which was what i had
two reason i want to not flash this
1. htc's 2nd splashscreen is a lot better looking that the orange uk one
2, orange remove goole maps and then advertise there own orange maps which is a payable subription thing

thanks for the info mate,
I've waiting on orange replacing mine today (they've got 35minutes left to meeting the deadline for 1PM!)
Doesnt bother me much though - standard rom was rubbish compared to Duttys stuff

can you tell me where bout you are in uk and then when you get it what rom its got?

just got mine - its got the 1.09.25.14 radio and 1.14 ROM same as what I got back in November when I originally bought it

is that a HTC rom when you boot it is the animated splash screen the orange swishes or the animated HTC logo
are you gonna reflash
im thinking i want a later version but i can only find the 1.19 Orange UK rom
is the a HTC 1.19

If you don't like the orange splashscreen, copy it and then put it into your new ROM once flashed
Duttys V2.1 ROM has google maps preinstalled and if a ROM doesn't you can always install it yourself.
I wouldn't let those 2 minor reasons be the reason why you don't flash to a superior ROM

no its not those im just not a fan of branded roms
especially has htc releases roms 6 months faster then the vener versions

hell no!!!!! I know what you mean about that stupid orange flash thingy!
My original one I bought back in December had the 1.14 ROM on it but none of this crap! Original one came with google maps installed, this one doesn't. This new one also has some stupid PV Player on it.
Just FYI - This new one has the following stuff:
ROM 1.19.61.1 WWE (previous rom was earlier)
Radio 1.09.25.14 (same as previous radio)
ROM Date 11/25/08 (obviously newer ROM date)
I'm sure the ROM I had before was early november so this is a new ROM, Loads of people have discussed it on this forum before jayjay so don't worry Basically the older ROM isn't Orange customised - The new ROM is - I aint worried though cus I'm gunna flash it when I get home - muhahahah.
Dutty's ROM's for the win for sure.
Been using Dutty's ROM's from 1.7 onwards - If you want a 100% performance and stability ROM go for Dutty's 1.7. If your after the newer Manilla (like I am) go for Duttys 2.1 (2.2 due out very soon!)
hope this helps mate.

it does also i basically wont use touchflo, i like it but itd only be used for showing
are you saying that the duttys 1.7 is the last touchflo based stable rom any after that is manilla 2
also wasnt there a time limit
i also was asking about dutty 2.1 being incomptible
so its either duttys 2.1 or orange 1.19
what d u reckon
its a shame there is nonew 1.19 HTC (if there is i cant find it)

Depends what you want.
I've stuck with the stock ROM (for now!) simply because I must have near 100% stability and its fast enough.
No disrespect to the chefs as they do sterling work but they are taking stuff from other phone ROMs and they are not designed for the blackstone.
So yes they are MUCH faster but inevitably a few bugs creep in - it then becomes a matter of seeing which bugs you can live with... and which you can't.

Duttys 1.9 had the time limit on it. I'd go with 2.1

Firmware updates on O2-UK

I got my HTC HD2 yesterday and i now know what love feels like.
My question is what is the latest radio's and roms for o2?
My handset is currently running rom 1.43.206.4 and radio version 2.04.50.22_2
Any advise will be greatly appriciated.

there are no updates for o2 yet.
I can highly recommend hspl2 your phone and install the wwe 1.66 rom.
(read the stickies in the rom development section)

there was supposed to be a new rom coming at the end march but nothing happened. i was told by a customer services guy that there were problems with the rom and it had been delayed.
unfortunately the version you currently have is the latest, for o2 UK any way.
why dont you flash another ROM theyr miles better, plus the o2 stock rom is floating about in the rom dev area so you can reflash if incase you return your phone!

Thanks for the tips guys. I will hspl2 it soon, ive got enough experiance from doing my xperia every other day lol. Which radio version is the best to use?

I've not really noticed much difference across the radios, im on 2.07.50 at the mo, in west yorks, and ive used the 2.08 one too. The only one i noticed a difference with was 2.09 but i use a 576 rom which it doesnt work with, so i only used it for a day.

Thanks. Last question, what is the diffrence between 576 roms etc? This is what has left me scatching my head.

I'd recommend radio 2.09 which I'm on, it's the best so far I've found and I've used all of them on my O2 HD2. I'm based in the Buckinghamshire area and it does me well round here.

the leo we all have (not tmous) have 576 meg of ram, but for whatever reason htc decided to hide 128 meg.
the leaked tmous roms a few months ago unlocked that ram, so now, if you flash a rom based on the 2.10 roms and a matching radio you will get 576 meg ram.
to be honest the ram rarely gets fully utilized anyway, don't base your choice of rom on it. (and you can't get it on official roms like the 1.66)

[HELP] Need some advise on where to go with my HD2

Hi guys,
Right Ive had my HD2 since the start of the year and due to time/commitments ive not really done a lot with it, now quite simply I have a few applications which I use a fair bit, namely CoPilot ... anyhow Ive seen there is an update on the HTC website to ROM 1.72.206.3 and was looking at starting a fresh with this ROM.
Now before I go ahead and do this, is there a better ROM/Radio combo? my current specs are ...
OS - 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manila - 2.5.19202525.0
ROM - 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
ROMD - 11/06/2009
Radio - 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol - 15.26.50.07U
Currently on a contract with O2 UK ... so really what Im after, if this was your phone what steps would you do? e.g. ROM, Radio and any must do enhancements/installs
Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike,
I have an O2 phone and it also came with 1.43 ROM. I tried the latest 1.72 ROM, it was a bit better but I think half of this is the imagination/expectation that is should be, rather than actually being so (though there are two or three 'genuine' fixes there too).
I have been mostly recommending this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612580
It made such a big difference I stopped looking at radio versions and registry tweaks. The S2U2 lock app is quite useful though, once you've customised its settings as desired.
I installed it using SSPL method BTW.

Have you got any issues that make you think "I'm going to bin this thing if it happens again"?
I've not bothered with the upgrade as if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Before anyone *****es, the only issue that is apparent on my device, the SMS lagging, isn't exactly an issue to me. I see it more as a reminder to clear the crap out of the inbox!

Which radio to flash? Advice appreciated.

Hi, I'm running Radio 2.06.51.27 with the stock WWE 1.66 ROM in the UK.
Would I be OK flashing a .50 radio, e.g. 2.07.50.27? If so, do you think I'd notice any benefit at all? Or is there some other radio that's better? (I live near London, and use an unbranded Vodafone HD2.)
Many thanks,
David

Hey
Yes you can flash a .50 radio, id recommend testing a few of the later radios 2.10, 2.11 & 2.12 (although 2.07 may work best for you), the most noticeable benefits are better battery life, faster gps lock & clearer call quality. the only thing is you will need to try for yourself as radio performance really does vary from person to person (depending on your location & rom).
i prev had the best performance with 2.12.50, however after switching roms i get the best from 2.11.50.26 so its a trail & error thing!

Thanks
Thanks for the advice. I've just flashed 2.07.50.27 and will test it out. If there's no improvement I'll try one of the radios you recommended.
Much appreciated,
David

Radio ROM
Living in Germany I use a non branded HD2 with custom ROM. Upgrading to a 2.12.50.XX radio resulted in battery drain issues every time I tried (tried 3times with different ROMS). Presently I`m using 2.10.50.28_2 which gives great data and call performance. Using 2.06 for a long time I always had issues with Radio dropping the data connection. Flashing the 2.10.50.28_2 ROM fixed the issue.

hi, i am also running Radio 2.06.51.27 with the stock WWE 1.66 ROM, just want to know whether flashing a radio is similar to rom flashing. will the radio flashing delete all the cabs installed on my phone? i have never done that nor rom flashing, kind of scared to brick my phone.
cheers

Do not fear
Nothing to fear. Just make sure HSPL 2 is installed on your storage card, then watch the following video. You won't lose your cabs, only the radio is updated, not the whole ROM. I just did it, and was anxious like you, but it updated fine. I'll wait to see the results.

[Q] Android on stock HTC ROM?

Hey,
Just wondering if anyones tried running Android on a stock HTC ROM?
I'm thinking of re-flashing the original Windows Mobile ROM and seeing if it will be able to launch Android from SD Card?
I've heard someone say it has been known to work?

I will be tonight when I finish work
Thought i'd ask ahead just in case anything I need to know. I want to have the stock ROM just because everything works on it and battery life is pretty good, but then can have Android to play around on

I am just using Android on my Stock Rom for the last 20 days.
Its working fine but the problem is instability in the Working of Android.
I have tried all the versions with different Radio versions.
Among them the best suit is Shubcraft1.4d the latest one and Radio version 2.11.50.20

I've been running Android on my "original" stock TMOUS ROM for about 3 full weeks now. At first, I ran Android with the stock 2.08 radio for about 4 days. For some reason, I rebooted my device and I was never able to get Android to run successfully again. I kept getting WSOD during boot-up and BSOD when trying to wake from sleep.
Finally, I flashed my radio to 2.12, and I've had absolutely no problems. I've seen many complaining that the stock TMOUS ROM causes problems, but I think it has more to do with radio, zImage, and build combinations than WinMo ROMs.
Good luck

just loaded android on stock 1.48.707.2 rom but with updated radio 2.12 version seemed to work o.k but froze a bit here and there seemed useable apart from the crashes

hmm, think tonight i will reflash to stock rom from HTC and then try radio 2.10 as per person further up, try it with various builds then maybe try radio 2.12... i will post my results within the next several hours

I think there are also differences between TMOUS and our European ROMS. Especially because of the Radios. I thought about Flashing back to complete Stock ROM SPL, etc. That way I could never get any problems with the warranty etc. I will try it when I find time.

I tried on the stock ROM and sadly everytime Android would go through the initial boot it would just display some text in the top left, then stop, then the text would slowly "fade" from bottom right to top left and the backlight of the screen remains lit but the phone hangs with nothing displayed
I've now put on the phone:
Windows Mobile ROM: Elegancia E-CHT ROM
Android Version: Mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense
Radio: 2.11.50.20
I've put a shortcut to CLRAD.exe and HaRAT.exe on my home screen on WinMo. Now I can use Windows Mobile for stability and battery life and working Wi-Fi Tethering etc, but can boot into android for games, apps, smooth interface and most of all, bragging rights(can now ram it into my friends with iPhones faces)
While i'm here now i've changed my set up completely, i'll explain what its like
With this set up, i've found the phone is some wait smoother, the screen still freezes but not for as long as before.
I've found sometimes the interface can sometimes be slightly sluggish but not enough to be a problem
I've called speaking clock and the voice was very clear
Overall very happy and now have the best of Android and the best of Windows Mobile

On my normal WinMo Rom I've used for quite some time now (some weeks before trying the first Android build) everything runs without freezes etc. So far 1 SOD and 2 freezes without a visible reason. And I'm running mainly Android for 5 weeks now. So it seems I was quite lucky to have an Android compatible ROM without having to flash some stripped down ROM. The only thing I'm missing in my ROM are fast boot times but those can be improved by disabling Sense.

I use stock ROM 1.66 ELL but Radio changed to 2.12 (with stock radio didn't work)
I have tried several Android builds and all works as supposed to work.

I have been testing all the Android versions using stock 1.66 WWE (just updated radio) with no problems at all. I have never used a custom WM ROM on my HD2, and have found Android to be on a par with what others have reported. Now running Mattc + Froyo w/Sense 1.6b with no problems so far.

I use stock ROM SVE 1.66 but radio changed to 2.10. I have been testing several builds and they all have worked ok.
The best build for me has been: darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1.

well, i have 1.48 wwe stock rom, never had any issues with any of the android builds...only changed my radio to 2.08.50..
i suggest darkstone's builds..either the hd2froyo or the froyostone series......no issues whatsoever

Yeah maybe it was my combination of radio/build. I'm now using the Mattc Leo Froyo build and the Elegencia ROM and isn't too different from the stock ROM and has most of the apps still installed

No problems running on stock tmoble 1.72 rom just had to update radio to one ending in 50

I’m a newbie at this so apologies if I confuse rather than help.
I bought my HD2 off eBay so don’t know if it’s been flashed or not. I didn’t attempt to flash or change the radio version myself just in case I brick it!! I scared like that
I am currently using ShubCRAFT 1.4d_1GB (hard reset and switched Sense off in WM for quicker boot) and it works perfectly, good battery life and fast .
WM Software details:
OS version: 5.2.2189
Manila version: 2.5.20113626.0
ROM version: Miri HD2 ROM – V4.0 WWE
Radio version: 2.07.50.27_2
To answer your question, and given the above are the standard versions, yes you can run android on ur standard HTC HD2 thanks to the awesome developers.

I am using a windows mobile stock ROM (1.66.405.2) with radio version 2.12.50.02 and mattc leo + froyo w/sense 1.6b Kernel: michyprima 2.6.32.9 #70. I have had no problems with wifi, 3g, sound, or calls. Everything works fine and pretty good battery life and quite stable.

Yours isn't a stock ROM! You have bought your HD2 with a flashed ROM on it.

Thank you Raudi1
I bucked up the courage to install a new radio after I submitted my post, and in the process realised that it had HardSPL on it already! which one of you sold me your 'touched' HD2!?
So I updated my radio version to 2.12.50.02_2 - yes I'm proud
