Hello All;
I'm new here and i have bought htc hd2 in French language from Orange France locked. and i have some questions;
1. If i do a hard spl and after try to istall a cooked rom or any original rom of another language like Italian for example, can i do? is possible? or maybe i will have difficulties with orange? because you remember it is locked.
2. If it is possible, doing this the phone can be free or unlocked? or there is any other procedure to unlock it? maybe to upgrade radio?
3. the last question; if a day i want to turn back to the original orange france rom can i backup it? and how?
thank you all. i'm new with this and don't want to brick it so i make this question to the specialists
check http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
Orange France htc hd2
Hi....Having dealt with Orange France in the past, i think it is extremely unlikely that you will not have problems with them no matter what you do, and even if you do nothing to your phone!...Their support is probably the worst in the world so i really would not worry about offending them.
Do HSPL then change the rom...or Goldcard followed by the Rom.
Unlock the sim on the phone if you want..
There is a site that seems recommended elsewhere on XDA...I am trying them myself a the moment....hence i found your message when searching...unlock-now etc
If you have a problem and need to send the phone back to orange.....They will probably be impossible to deal with, but if you really are a masochist, then insure the phone and then assist it's demise....under a car wheel is quick and painless, if you are careless while crossing a road!

hi,
thanks for answer, i have done the flashing with success, but before i unlocked it to ***.htcgate.com for 19$ about 14€ with success and after i flashed it with a coocked rom, doing hdsl and after flashing rom.
now the phone seems do his job very well but i miss tv orange ecc, its no problem but if one day i like to return to original rom its a bit difficult because i have'nt done yet before.
Did you use hspl alone or did you goldcard as well?
By the way there is a way to revert the back to the original spl at the bottom of the HSPL sticky thread.
Was it easy to reconnect to orange 3g services?

I received from friend of mine a brick called HTC - on back is label ARTE100.
it is freeze on bootscreen, that is good for now.
BUT i have information that it is comming from Netherlands, and was locked before.
Someone else is bricked upgrading it without CID unlock beforehand.
I have tried almost all available original ROMs, well some of them missed.
My question is is there any way to check by IMEI , which carrier was before?
And is there any available factory ROM from this carrier.
There is no sign or any label on it.

IPL 3.04.0001
SPL 3.04.0001
GSM 02.93.90
OS 3.4.0.0
Thank You Very much for any answer .

I guys, I'm trying to repair my ARTEMIS that I bricked but I don't know which was the original rom because I have flashed with WM6 original rom the day after I bought it.
As asked by Stopper there is a way to know which was original rom so I could try to restore it by SD card?
thank you so much
bye
There's no way through the device (no device flash history), however it's usually the stock carrier ROM so try flashing to that.

The answers are confusing, I have one Mda Tmobile (Artemis) with exactly the same problem. It had german rom originally, and I tied Uspl and had error at the end, maybe the version was lower cause i did not check. Since I could not be able solve it. when you try wwe rom it says invalid vendor Id, any other rom give ivalid model id error.
Is there any solution available for this?
Thanks

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.

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,
hey guys if I hard reset my htc touch hd orange branded, will it the after reset become not branded with orange anymore.
Will i then be able to upgrade to latest roms from htc, and will my phone be locked, since now I am using a non orange sim on it.
no there is a block from upgrading roms, but there is always a way
firstly you have to flash HSPL
when that is complete you can then flash any of the roms featured here. remember to read thoughrly the instructions as written and youll be fine

Hey mate, go ahead and Flash your HD, its the best thing ive done, wm6.5 on NRGZ's Rom is awesome.. Just make sure you use crackwhore's guide. Let us know what you think.
Firstly when you hard reset your phone it will default back to what ever ROM it was loaded with when bought. So if it had and orange ROM on when purchased it will stay an orange ROM.
Secondly, if you are wanting to flash a custom ROM then you will need to have either HSPL flashed or use the USPL method.
If your phone is locked to orange (which it mos likey is you will need to have it SIM unlocked which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521206.
Hope this helps a bit, If you need anymore info on flashing ROMs then look in the ROM section here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453

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

thank you
you have used the wrong rom. you need to find an original rom for your region and provider. (example if your phone is german and vodafone then you need the vodafone german rom)
once you find the correct rom do what you did last time and it will start.

oh in that case it is easy.
go to rom development section, find the "leo official roms" thread, look in first post first link.the rom you need says o2 in the name.
if you are trying to downgrade so you can put hspl on your phone look in the 1.43 folder)
there isn't an O2 1.48 ROM in the 4Shared folder, only their 1.43 one
o2 uk have only released one rom. no 1.48, no 1.66, only 1.43...are you sure your phone is an actual o2 phone? did you buy outright from o2? car phone warehouse perhaps?

OK, so it isn't an o2 locked rom. It should be a wwe one.
personally i would try this
http://www.4shared.com/account/file..._WWE_1434051_Radio_.html?sId=wJvHvpUN96nuOQU8
rom first
That is the 1.43 wwe rom. download, extract the ruu_signed.nbh, copy to sd card, reboot into bootloader, if it flashes, all good. You can then instal hspl, and flash any rom you like BY USB.
Sim lock is nothing to do with rom lock.
Excuse my maybe silly question but...
Why would we want to downgrade the ROM version??
(Beside of the need to send it to the repair of course)
