I have an Xperia with a UK ROM. Can I upgrade with a newer Dutch ROM (simple, official firmware)? Or will it brick my phone?

Possible, but with hard-spl.
on another forum few people updated en rom with polish official rom without hardspl and it's work fine
certs are correct so why that shouldn't work?
I myself went from original TMO NL ROM to SE UK GENERIC newer version without Hard SPL, so should work without no problem.
On a sidenote, now I do have Hard SPL and Itje's Touch-IT 4 RC1.1
OK, thanks for your replies. I'll consider my options.
You can always try to flash without hrd-spl, if it isn't possible you get an error saying that (before bricking your phone).

hi, Just received my X1 yesterday. The os rom/radio rom on my phone are older version. I am going to update both of them. I have read a lots about rom upgrade on this site, but I am now confused that nearlly every post saying need to re-flash the SPL rom first before doing any update. My question is do i need to flash the SPL first if I just want to upgrade to the generic rom? For example, the rom on my phone currentlly is UK(probably customised for O2) version, now I just want to flash to a newer verison of UK os rom and radio rom( I don't want to mass up the SPL rom yet, just in case there is any problem with my phone). Can someone give me a answer?
Thx.
the uk generic rom is an official rom. so no need to flash spl. im not sure abt the radio rom.

Thanks mate. I am still waitting for some to help me out!
You need to flash spl with hardspl when you will try one of the custom roms on that site here and when you download a radio from this site...
You don't need to flash hardspl, when you update from s/e update service from you computer
just use the sony ericsson update service (seus)
however im not certain if theres an o2 update out yet, if yours is o2 branded
however, youve only had your device for 1 day! dont you think itd be a good idea to try using it before you start messing? good idea t
Also
Don't forget, my VOda was able to install the GENERIC UK without HardSPL so it's possible 02 should work also, because they don't lock their top end phones. (My Voda UK is also SIM-Free).
Updated2: There has been an ROM update from HTC itself. See this post.
Hi,
I need to send my Vodafone NLD branded* HTC HD2 in for repairs (see this thread). Problem is I've HSPL'ed it and installed a newer unbranded rom -1.48.404.2 (71294) NLD with radio 2.06.51.07-, still wanted to upgrade to a newer ROM bud didn't bother because everything worked fine and I had to erase everything. 'T was the newest when I got the HD2...
I only did this because the unbranded ROM was stuck at 1.43 (and still is!)
So, does anyone know where I can find the official branded Vodafone NL 1.43 (or newer!) rom so I can restore my SPL with a MicroSD card flash?
Alternatively, does anyone know either:
Another solution/suggestion?
How I can create a goldcard (I won't mind to pay a few bucks) which will restore the SPL and will restore the ROM to a version that has a high/99,9% chance to fool the repair centre?
Know how I can dump a ROM of a HD2? (I couldn't find it anywhere). I might be able to find someone who has a branded Vodafone NL HD2 and didn't "hack" it. I could then dump the rom and use it to flash my device. Ofcourse if that is succesful I'll also make the ROM available for download!
Any help found be appreciated!
* Actually its pretty stupid they branded it, they even promised they wouldn't do it anymore. The only change I could detect was the Vodafone logo and sound that was visible during boot (instead of the normal HTC screen with ROM info etc.)
[edit]
To clarify: this is about a branded Dutch version by Vodafone (NL branch). If you have Vodafone UK or ordered the English version from Vodafone NL (which is exactly the same as the Vodafone UK version) you can use one of these roms:
Vodafone UK Official signed 1.43 (origional ROM)
Vodafone UK Official signed 1.66) (1.66 ROM released on 22 Feb 2010)
Hmm if this is correct I could do what I want with a goldcard right? I would create a goldcard with the official unbranded 1.43 ROM and restore the origional SPL, radio and ROM. Thus the only difference they would notice is the unbranded ROM/OS/Splashscreen, but if I'm correct they mainly check if a HSPL is installed right?

I think this should work. Will it fool Vodafone?
Okay, so I found webpatrick who was willing to dump his ROM
But how do I now make a flashable rom out of it? (e.g. the standard flashable .exe installer or a flashable leoimg.nbh)
I've found some information on how to do it (for thopaz and rhodium), but I can't get it clear enough for me to work.
So to clarify, I would like
1. As close to the origional as possible
2. At least the origional SPL (1.42 I think)
3. Splashscreen would be a pré
3. OS Rom would be fine, but I think it is 100% the same from the official HTC
4. Radio doesn't really matter to me, but to get the origional I would like it
Can anyone help me make it or make it for me?

Ow cmon, with all the ROM builders out there there must be someone who knows?
I see you got started...
Maybe good good to know HSPL2 is out, now it can revert to original SPL, so maybe bepe can help you reverting to NLD Vodafone SPL.
edit: Sorry the release notes say that you can only flash an original SPL using an official ROM.
I saw it, and it's good news. The only thing I'd like is the vodafone splash screen back, which is in te ROM. Otherwise I'm just going to return it saturdat with the SPL reverted to 1.42 through HSPL2

Here are the Startup and Shutdown Animation files + reg settings.

To be honest im glad i got my HD2 before it was officially available in the Netherlands, if i break it, i can send it straight to HTC, also, it didn't have any crappy branding or anything.
Then again i had to pay (quite some) for it, where as you new NLD hd2 users prolly didn't (or only a little)
Great news: HTC has released an upgrade for Vodafone branded HD2's itself
The version is branded 1.72.172.0.
I'm flashing it right now.
Uploading it to rapidshare right now.

Hey everyone!!
Today I got my HD2
I saw a ROM update on the HTC site. It was posted on 02-02-2010.
When I enter my serial number it says the update is not for me (I'm sure I filled in the correct one).
Is this because my phone is from Vodafone (splash screen en shutdown screen show Vodafone logo)?
Is it possible to install this official ROM? (I don't mind to lose the Vodafone screens) How could I do this.
I want to keep my phone in dutch.
Let me know, I know you could help me!!!
has your phone already got an up to date rom? you can download official rom's in the leo rom development forum

Hi, yes, you are correct. You should get your rom upgrades from Vodafone.
However we all know how bad carriers are at releasing upgrades, so consider hspl2 and then you can flash the rom of your choice. (official or not)
But isn't it possible to get an official HTC rom?
At this moment I prefer to have an official rom on my new phone.
For an official Vodafone ROM update, ask them. The ROM on the HTC site is also official. Not for your phone tho.

no because your handset is branded to vodafone, the offical updates are for non branded phones
I had a same problem!
Just bought an HTC HD2, in hungary, but it has a "hungarian rom 1.48.479.1" on it, with SPL 1.42.0000
But, i cant upgrade any roms, my PN number last 3 number is 042, so this htc hd2 is came from a german vodafone. (htc . com says, no upgarde for this pdaphone yet)
Still have 2 years of warranty.
So is it possible, to get an 1.66 official rom on it, with hspl2? and if i need my warranty, can i "un/install" to 1.42 SPL to not lose my warranty? If is it possible, i will use hspl2 if i need my warranty, and i will use that german 1.66 rom that just came out (vodafone . de)
Answer pls, and yea, i know my english is sucks.

i have a unbranded htc hd2 can i use any rom? i notice some of the providers are getting newer roms...if i can will it effect my sim lock? because currently of course there isn't one
if the phone is unbranded then u can use any rom but ofcourse dont flash for example a vodafone uk 1.72 rom because then i think it would be an issue
Just folow the advices of the roms shef to use the apropriate radio with the rom u want to flash
i have 1.66 rom (HTC offical rom) so cannot use a provider 1.72+ why isn't there an unbranded one?
1.72 just1.66 with the fixes already applied.
you can use any htc wwe rom without hspl.
there is no problem flashing a provider rom if you want to.(needs hspl of course.)
sorry what is hspl??
thanks i have read another post reference this..
Hello,
i have a HTC HD2 phone from vodafone.
a few months ago i did an update to the orgignal HTC ROM 1.66.407.1 (GER).
Now the mobile Windows is very slow and i want the new ROM 3.14.407.2 (GER).
I have downloaded the orginal ROM here (not the Vodafone ROM)
But when i want to update here stands that i dont have the permisson because it is a HTC from vodafone.
I had that problem a few months before, but i cant remeber how i did the update.
I dont want a Hard Flash, it if is possible. (i can remember that i flash it with SSPL (SLPL_RUU.exe, but i am not really sure.)
My SPL version ist 1.42
It is right that first i have to update the vodafone-ROM, because of the RADIO and ther SPL version, and then i can run the SPL_RUU.exe to update the orginal HTC ROM?
Furthermore i have read that many people have problems with the new 3.14 ROM
Thanx for your Help
(you can also answer in german )

You can't flash other stock rom which is not intended for your device series. But, you still can do it using GOLD CARD method. If you are interested, find in the threads using search button
Im not sure of flashing stock rom using SSPL, because I never do that (and I have no intention to try it )
To avoid any trouble, I would suggest you to find the CORRECT STOCK ROM, if your device is from VODAFONE, then go to VODAFONE website to find it whether there is update rom.
The problem reported by other users is because they have installed Stock ROM version 3.14 (which contains SPL 3.03.0000) using HSPL.
SPL 3.03 is incompatible with HSPL.
Cheers
thanks
But it is right that i have to flash the original Vodafone ROM ( to update the SPL and Radio) and then I can flash the original HTC ROM (not vodafone) with SSPL?
Is that right?
And after that, can I downgrade to maybe 1.66 with the same method when I have the New 3.14 ROM with SPL 3.03 and RADIO 2.15 ?

Sir (after your PM)
Flash your phone only with S/N 3.14 ROM
if it's Vodafone then flash with 3.14 Vodafone ROM
to get SPL 3.03 and HTC radio 2.15
ok thanks,
but i dont want the vodafone branded software/ROM.
Then i must flash again (after the vodafone ROM flash) the origianl non-branded HTC-HD2-ROM with SSLP right?
Then i have the newest radio and spl version from the vodafone-ROM and the non-branded software/OS from the original HTC-ROM right? (is the newest orginal ROM supported by SSLP? or can i flash the 3.14-ROM with SSLP?)
The last question -> can i always downgrade to (without SSLP/HSLP etc.) the original vodafone 1.66 or 1.72-ROM ? or it is not possible when i have newest SPL and Radio version?
Thansk a lot.
PS: The HTC is for my father for birthday.I want to give him the HTC as a gift and it should be with the original, newest and non-branded ROM/OS.
And for me it is important that i can easly can downgrade to the original vodafone-ROM.

You can always downgrade it by flashing the older CORRECT STOCK ROM using Micro SD Card method. If you flash with UNCORRECT STOCK ROM, you might get into trouble (it wont flash), unless you have a GOLD CARD.
All STOCK ROM contains SPL. Once you flash it via Micro SD, then your HSPL or SPL will be replaced with the SPL contains in the rom.
Be careful
