You need active sync from microsoft to sync with pc, or you can just plug it in with usb and use it as a removable drive, follow the tutorial on the rom section to debrand and unlock your o2 HD2 by upgrading to the new 1.48 roms...
thanks richie,
i will download active sync now, but i have a question,
im tryng to find the rom section but i have found quite a few posts, im really confused, what is SPL??
do i just install 1.48 and that should debrand and unlock my device??
and what is goldcard???
im coming from an n97, and have been using symbian for over 5 years, so i apologize in advance
o2 will now let you unlock it,maybe for free...more info on that here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5054228&postcount=2
The latest 1.48 ROM cannot be loaded without using goldcard, on an O2 HD2.
For Windows Vista and 7, you need Windows Mobile Device Center (activesync renamed).
It on the windows mobile site to download.

Follow this thread to the letter and you won`t go wrong....
Useful info!
Chaps,
Once this has the 1.48 installed on it will it then be able to be upgraded with ROM's from the HTC site in future without the use of a GoldCard?
Or will it need to be network unlocked too?
Is this GoldCard business needed because the O2 HD2 is network locked?

For now you will need to use the goldcard method for installing the roms from HTC as they have not yet gone official..I can`t see it affecting future upgrades from the HTC site but my experience tells me that when ever i`ve had an O2 branded HTC device the HTC website won`t allow downloads from there site when you have to enter your serial number. You have to wait for O2 to release there own version of the update which NEVER happens....
Hence why i ended up at this brilliant site.
thanks guys, im going to follow the goldcard method,
will there be such another method without goldcard in the near future? im not even sure what goldcard is to be honest
will debranding to 1.48 unlock the phone as well?? or not ??
i have submitted the unlock phone request form on o2's website but am just wondering if the new rom will unlock the phone?

Thanks Richie, that's a very comprehensive answer!
Hey, I've got an O2 branded phone which was unlocked using the unlocking website (€22 it cost). Using a 3 UK sim and I'm wanting to get rid of O2's branding.
I've downloaded "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe"
My question is will this ROM remove the branding and do I need to use the goldcard with this or is this a shipped rom (that I can just update using the exe)?
Many thanks,
Ross.

Okay cool, card prepared and rom loaded on.
Is this the best rom to use at this moment? Just waiting for the battery to charge > 80%
Branding is cosmetic, I can live with that. Network locking prevents the use of another network's SIM cards and is the real problem. I recently bought an O2 branded HD2 on ebay, and I am not an O2 subscriber. Whilst I have read on other threads that O2 now offer unlock codes for free, it seems unlikely that they will do this for a non-subscriber. So I have been trying the commercial unlockers, of which there are many. Of the four tried so far, all have been unable to calculate an unlock code for my EMEI no. To be fair, three of them immediately refunded what I had paid them. So now I am stuck with O2. I would like to understand this situation better. Is my phone just too new, in which case I just need to be patient? Is it something worse? Any comment would be welcome.
BTW reflashing to a stock or cooked ROM does NOT remove network locking.
Hi,
My phone is HTC TIM (288MB RAM) 32A. HTC told me ROM upgrade is not available yet for the Italy market. And since the s/n of my phone doesn't work on other upgrade sites, so I can not download the upgrade from other sites.
I was wondering if I can download the ROM upgrade from somewhere else. And if I do so, will that work on my phone?
Please give me links to download ROM upgrade for my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Can anyone please help.
After recently damaging my HD2 beyond repair (uninsured), I have been given an HD mini to last me until my contract expires. Unfortunately it has some issues as, although unlocked, it still carries many of the branded restrictions. I have downloaded the HTC HD mini Rom upgrade but on trying to install I'm getting the error message of invalid vendor (O2). I presume I need to install HSPL before the phone will accept the Rom update. Can anyone please provide a link to HD mini HSPL, or offer any other help (The current spl version is: 1.10.0000)
Cheers..............Brian
Consult the company who issued you the phone. Ask them what version of ROM is allowed in this unit.
As I said, I have been loaned this phone that has been "unblocked" from O2, (the vendor) There's no point in contacting them as I am pretty damn sure they would only be interested in providing another O2 Rom if indeed they would offer any support. I just want to upgrade to the latest HTC Rom and need a little bit of extra help getting there. Any links to an HD mini Hard SPL please.
i got my HD mini from vodafone and it came 'unlocked' and ive upgraded to the latest rom from htc HTC ROM

Well, that helps!!!!
As I said, I HAVE downloaded and tried to flash the latest official HTC Rom upgrade,from the official HTC support site. It gets as far as the blue/red/green screen and then an error message "invalid vendor" (O2). I believe I just need to pre install a Hard SPL first but just need to know where to find the file!
Cheers........Brian
there is no Hard SPL yet for mini,afaik...
Cheers guys, looks like I've come to a dead end.
Thanks for your time and comments
Cheers....Brian

Is this for updating the firmware on the HD7 to utilise compass etc in Mango apps?
I have an O2 branded HD7 that is updated to Mango RTM / final using ansar's techniques, but I didn't get the firmware update along the way. How would I go about installing this, will it work for an O2 branded device?

If u did like what ansar did, u just have 7720 ISV beta final build... U have to use Mangoforall2.0 or provision... To get update to 7403 ISV then 7220 ISV... But then, u have to run Connection setup quickly (if u want to keep jb with your CustClear.provxml in Window of your HD7)... Then will have a quick Update, i couldn't see update name, just the something like "clean"...after that, about 1', will have HTC update and and bravo U have got 7720 Official I try by ansar way about 5 time( and never have official 7720... Then, i use Mangoforall2.0, run update.bat and now, I have 7720 official with still jailbreaking
luv116 can u use native apps after update "HTC update for windows phone"(an update after "clean...." update.)

Hi, I adding the correct provisioning (back to retail) on my phone (using ansars tools) and this HTC Update appeared for me in Zune without any trickery. Problem solved! And it retained Chevron unlock afterwards.
Watch out though for an update in marketplace for Connection Setup as this may overwrite the chevron provisioning on your phone, you'll need to apply chevron provisioning again in case of future relock.
Fantastic!
I too need the post-OEM update for my Trophy. Should be WWE for me.
No dice on the timing hack for me. sigh...
TIA!
Hi guys. Anyone care to share on how to use this?
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

HD2?
Does anyone know if this OEM update will be safe and successful to do on a HD2 running mango RTM?
Thanks.
I tried to deploy the update with XBoxMod Update Cab Sender. CAB was sent to device but the upgrade failed.
I'm on RTM Mango with PhoneID SEA. I bought it in Singapore.
