I downloaded and installed that ROM - It's 1.14 not 1.19!!

Where do these get released? Or haven't they been released?
I'm intrigued to find where the latest HTC Firmware will appear if Orange get round to messing with it.

That is why you are here -----
It is due to the fact that carriers don't upgrade and want you to run out of contract and buy a new toy (thus with a new rom).
This is why we cook roms (off the new toys for old boys).
I have yet to see an offical GER (german rom) come out from my or any other carrier including HTC (who are not carriers).
Now after saying all that wiki does have a orange ship.exe

Still unsure about flashing the ROM
Hi,
So the ROM supplied in the above links will upgrade the Orange ROM and keep all the horrible things that Orange have done to the handset to cripple it.
I only ask as my phone is company supplied and I do not want to screw up the handset.
My ROM is 1.19.61.1 WWE and the operator version is 34.119.1.611.
Forgive my ignorance about these matters
Chris

it´s very simple: if you like to keep your device at it is, there´s no need to flash another rom. if you like to get rid of that orange rom and take part of the better ones install one of the very good rom available here.

I also want to get rid of my Orange ROM. I have read the wikis and am confident enough to be able to do it. One thing I am unsure about is, the ROM I would like to try is Panosha`s Black Pearl but as I understand it, it is based on a 1.56 ROM. and my ROM is 1.19.61.1. I can get USPL onto my TouchHD but am unsure as whether I can flash Panosha`s ROM onto my device without first flashing a 1.56 ROM. I`ve searched the Orange website and at the moment there is no 1.56 ROM.

If you are going to flash a cooked rom, then why panic about flashing the stock 1.54/1.56 roms first.

I`m not panicking, just unsure about whether I have to. I`m sure I read in the wikis that I need a 1.56 ROM on my device to flash a 1.56 based cooked ROM. Can`t find this statement any more so maybe I imagined it.
Just noticed a statement on Panosha`s ROM page which says "First flash 1.56.xxxx ROM"

Yup, you need the 1.54 SPL version from Stock first which comes with the 1.56 ROM.
Read the tutorial for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Then any issues just ask in that thread, loads of people will help... its what we're here for

Thanks mate, I thought so. I went ahead and did it but I now have the green screen issue so I`ve obviously not done it right. Just need to read up now how to fix it. I flashed USPL 2.5 first and then one of Duttys 1.56 ROMS which all went on fine until it rebooted. Maybe I`m not understanding the flash process as much as I thought.

Check your SPL version by turning off the phone, holding down the volume button and pressing power once. It should go to the tri colour screen and say SPL- 1.56, if it doesn't it answers why your phone has gone green screen. The SPL and the ROM numbers need to match.
It's quite simple to solve, don't worry, your phone isn't bricked.
You just need to run hard SPL 1.54 which you can find on this forum. run it via PC whilst in activesync with your phone and it will do the rest. Let us know if you still have problems after this.

Thanks. I have spl 1.14. I knew I hadn`t bricked it, just caused the green screen problem because of my own stupidity not fully understanding the procedure. The ROM is showing as 1.56Dutty, do I have to flash Hardspl 1.56 or the older one. Also does the phone have to be unlocked. I thought I had all this cracked but it just gets more & more complicated the more I try and correct my **** up.

This may seem like a silly question..but .. if I install a cooked Rom
Will my connection setting for Orange as my service provider be retained?
Thanks

yes. its detected automatically after you flashed the ROM. if you hard reset (which you ought to do) then youll just go through the customisation process where you confirm that your service provider is orange.

I'm obviously a newbie
Thanks - I was bricking myself anout this.

I called / emailed orange , they have no plans to release the update on there phones.

you already have the latest Orange ROM

I thought I was ready to go before I came accross this thread and it's left me hesitant.
I too have an Orange branded phone. SPL 1.14 ROM 1.19.61.1 WWE.
I thought that all I needed to do was:
a) update windows 7 USB driver so I can sync from the tri-colour screen.
b) run HSPL 1.56.OliNex
c) flash a new 1.56 ROM
edit: Do I need to update to stock SPL 1.54 before step b?
As davemazo says, does it need to be Orange unlocked to do this? dgattenb saying he can't flash the 1.54 HSPL onto the phone has put this on hold.
Cheers,

HTC HD 2 on o2(UK) Firmware 1.43

Hi everyone,
My htc hd 2 is branded by o2 and still runs under firmware 1,43.
I keep asking o2 when they are going to release the new version but they are unsure
I am using bsb tweaks atm which is very good but I would like to upgrade to ver 1.48 or ver 1,66
Is this poss

yeah just flash it then pick a rom,mines on vodafone and don't know if they will ever release a upgrade so using one of duttys roms which is awesome.
http://htcpedia.com/soft/htc-leo-rom.html
plenty to choose from on here.

Vodafone here too, currently running a Miri rom.
Read this and you won't go wrong: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477

I will do some reading first to see if its safe.
I dont want to brick my htc

I wouldn't wait for o2, they're so far behind and don't seem to care about offering support for the HD2 from my contact with them. I got rid of the o2 1.43 as soon as the goldcard method was put up here, and since use the HSPL. the HSPL is great... if you have any problems installing a cooked ROM, just install an official one again, and try a different one. you'll want to make sure you upgrade your radio if you're coming from 1.43, battery usage and sound quality seem to be greatly improved now

search this forum for the o2 stock ROM, that way you have some thing to fall back on if you wanna return it!
there are a couple of threads with links to the download!

i had a scary moment flashed a rom when it stopped at 9% and crashed i just reflashed the hspl and all ok,as long as u follow the guides you won't go far wrong,its worth doing as vodafone won't release sod all and u want to get the most out of your phone.do it don't be afraid.

Flashed my O2 Leo numerous times now, I've tried Dutty's but can't seem to get it stable so have settled with Miri's v1.5 Sense 2.5. It works well and I've tweaked a few more things to get it how I like it. You won't regret it, just get hold of the original O2 ROM and HSPL and away you go. You can always go back to the O2 ROM by flashing directly off the SD card and nobody will be any the wiser if you're concerned about warranty issues!

+1 to most posts here. O2, like my own provider T-Mobile, and probably most other resellers tend to update their own official roms very slowly.
Getting HardSPL onto your phone is simple, and once that's in place it's actually very difficult to brick your phone. It's also pretty easy to remove the HardSPL if you need to send it back for warranty repair.

strange error after flashing my HD2 with TMOUS 2.02 ROM

hi people
i got my brand new HD2 unlocked a few days ago and it shipped with 1.43 ROM.
It was freezing occasionaly and so i thought a ROM upgrade would help.
i downloaded TMOUS 2.02 ROM and did a HSPL and then flashed my device with it.
now after flashing the phone works fine but i am getting three lines horizontally written accross the screen saying "HTC CONFIDENTIAL" and the other two lines are my IMEI number and anotherr number starting with HTC.
please help me because these lines are simply not going
i know i am a newbie
but i would really appreciate some help

The TMOUS 2.02 ROM is a test ROM so the "HTC CONFIDENTIAL" is there because of that. The 2.02 ROM dosnt handle a soft reset either. I recomend that you change to another ROM. Its not suited for everyday use.

I am a tourist too, but you are really an expert ...
Why the hack you are flashing a secret Test rom from htc???
There are a huge numbers of good cooked and/or stock roms available you can choose from.
As far as I was told the TMOUS 2.02 ROM is a test rom and will let you boot ONLY 1 time, so if you switch off your phone or do a soft reset - bingo - you will not be able to use your phone any more (no panic you can flash another rom).
But on top of it, I was told that this rom will send informations about your phone to htc ... once you are letting connect it to the provider and a data connection is up.
I guess this is why you see your IMEI on the screen.
There is ONLY one reason to flash this rom and this is to get the newer SPL on the phone instead of the normal 1.42 one, but than you have to know what you are doing and you need a OS rom which you can flash BEFORE letting the phone making a connection with the interenet ... (be carefull: you need a special OS whith the neccessary drivers for the new SPL, as far as I know it is NOT recommended to use this new SPL with cooked roms for the stock 1.42 SPL or the HSPL from bepe)
If there is no better advice from a real expert I would recommend that you flash your HD2 with a stock 1.66 rom for your region and than if you want you can HSPL again (or use the SSPL from bepe) and choose a rom which is suiting your needs from this forum.
Hope this is helping you.
Best regards

PS: Who dares wins, but it should be a calculated risk at least ...

I flashed the 2.02 ROM using sd-card, so also flashed SPL 2.0
Been using it for 3 weeks now. No problems at all.
All the other bs on the web is just a myth!

Orange Touch HD loss of wifi

Hi,
I got my brothers Touch HD which ive in the past flashed endless times for him with various 6.5 roms, decided to flash it back to a stock rom to give to the wife as a temporary upgrade, it appears that the wifi is borked, i think its probably due to the change in the radio as it was 1.17 or whatever, any ideas if i can get it back, i did flash it with a generic htc 6.1 rom rather than the orange one (downloading that now) which had a 1.13 radio i think

Did you also install the matching rillphone.dll?
You can always go back to radio 1.17 (with rillphone 1.14), because radio and rom aren't related.

Returning Phone and ROM Question

It looks like I will have to send my phone back to HTC as the screen has the dreaded white blotches. Havent played with ROM for a while and cant remember if I flashed it to something other than stock upgrades - is the following stock?
OS 5.2.21869
Manila version 2.5.192116619.0
Rom Version 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
Rom Date 01/11/10
Radio version 2.06.51.07
Protocol Version 15.30.50.07U
Would it be accepted by HTC in its current state (and does anyone know a way of backing up so I can return all the progs to it in one step when I get it back)?

best thing to tell us is whats in the bootloader mate

how do I find that?

phone off, press and hold vol down, tap and release power.
when coloured stripey screen shows release vol down.
where it says spl, look at the number to the right.
if it ends .0000 its stock, if it ends .hspl its hspl.
the rom info doesn't matter for warranty, only the spl.

great, mine says SPL-1.42.0000 XE so I guess that is telling me its stock and ok to send as is.

yep thatl be fine. 1.42.0000and 1.66.0000 are the two usual spl for the regular leo.

many thanks

Hi there, samsamuel, talking about returning the HD2 for service or repair, I got interested about your reply. You said as long as the original SPL is there and they won't care about the Rom. Just wonder if I have my HSPL reinstalled back to SPL but custom or offical Rom from different region left installed on the handset when I send it back for repair, would they not noticed the Rom is not supposed to be on the machine unless it has been hacked?
not that I need to send mine back, finger crossed. Would like to know how will they deal with these cases if I need to one day.
thx

Hello
Just to share on this topic I sent my HD2 back to HTC for warranty repair with HSPL and a custom ROM on it and all the work was carried out and it came back with SPL and a T Mobile ROM back on it.

well im no expert, and i dont work for any phone repair Co., but no one has reported being refused, except for when they sent it back with hspl still installed.
In theory you 'could' have made the rom into a custom rom using cabs and tweaks and brute force, (in practice you probably couldn't,) but asking the tech to figure out if a rom is official with tweaks or not is not as cut and dried as 'yes hspl is there, thats hacked software, refuse' or 'yep, thats a valid spl, repair it'. You do after all have a windows license, with a certain ammount of tweak rights, but you have no rights at all to the spl.
Bearing in mind the first thing they will do is almost certainly re flash the rom to the rom they are currently shipping, its understandable why this would be the case.

heh, nice.

They do care about the spl and the rom, mate.
I took mine back to Vodafone, and the first thing the guy there tried to check out was the rom version and the spl version. Unfortunately for him, my microwave oven worked "wonders" on the screen and he was never able to actually check anything. They might fix the screen then check for the software part, but hopefully they won't do anything about it.
(I have to mention the fact that it`s not Vodafone who actually fixes devices, it`s a smaller partner of theirs who takes care of faulty decives such as mine.)

yea, i said they care about the spl, its the bit they care about most.
however I've never sent one back, so I'm just going on feedback from people that have, and no ones ever mentioned the rom being a problem, only the hspl.
