Reverting back to stock-rom, quick question

Hi there,
As I'm getting some issues with my phone after two weeks of flashing the crap out of me I'd like to revert back to a stock rom, do some hard resets and install one custom rom which I'll actually use for like...a month.
I'm using Olinex HardSPL for flashing 1.56+ roms and also flashed my radio to 1.14.
One question before **** hits the fan:
- I've downloaded from the wiki page RUU_BlackStone_HTC_NLD_1.14.404.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe, which is the original sock-rom (though I had one of Vodafone). Can I just execute this to revert back to 1.14-rom and 1.09-radio?

When I bought my HD in July the original Rom was
ROM: 1.14.404.3 (22273) NLD
date 10/25/08
Radio: 1.09.25.14
Protocol: 52.499.25.26U
TouchFlow 3.0 build 32567
Succes

Thanks mate, I'll just try it and see where it ends!
(probably me flashing Dutty's "Holy Grail", pretentious ass ;-)

To return to stock rom, follow step-by-step procedure at bottom of first post in this thread

Thank you!

Urgent..please help

Hey guys.. I havent tried flashing any of the cooked ROMs before. Which do u guys think I should try out? There's just too many of them. Im currently on the 1.665 WWE official ROM

Hi,
Wellcome!
I'm using and recommended Miri's ROM :
March 11, 2010 02:27 AM
Miri HD2 WM6.5.X (23545) ROM :: Sense 2.5 with Swype :: V 8.0

Is there a greater difference than the stock 1.66?

6.5.x has the (IMO rubbish) new buttons at the bottom - if you want stock looks then go for the WM6.5 version I've got on my sig...

Yes but in terms of performance and visual effects, is there really a big incentive as to switching to cooked ROMs?

Hi
Make sure you have the HSPL on your device before you try any cooked roms. Also there are SSPL, Goldcard available . You have to read the sticky threads before you try to flash. You are warned without above you might brick your device.
good luck

I think im gonna try the artemis 5.5. Good feedback on that? Yes ive done the app steps

quick tip - never use the sd card method to flash a phone, you're more likely to brick it or, worse, put an SPL that can't be rolled back. ALWAYS use HSPL and flash via ActiveSync/WMDC

KAV2010 keeps deleting HSPL as soon as I unzip it. Geez..

I flashed a cooked rom thru the Spl method. Now my phone is unable to boot. I am unable to perform hard rest. What should i do?

It depends on the ROM you have installed but is more like you have to install radio 2.08 or 2.07 the 2.10 roms are radio dependant.

Me

How do I do that now that my phone cant boot?

Please keep the questions in 1 thread. This makes 3 now.

If you've got HSPL on, just turn your phone off, battery out if necessary. Then replace battery, hold down volume down button and press the power button (end call). It will boot into bootloader, then you can use custom RUU to put another radio on, try 2.08.50.08_2 That is a guess as to the right radio, but might help you out.
PS Sternas says he uses 2.06.51.07 radio in his Artemis ROM, so try that one.

Rom 1.66.407.1 radio 2.07.51.22_2

Hello all,
i dont know if im in the right forum if not please excuse me.
I have some question about the 1.66.407.1 Rom and the 2.07.51.22_2 Radio.
I bought a HD2 with these Rom and Radio already installed on it, if i go to the HTC support site i only can download the 1.66 rom with 1.72 radio. Is there any way to get the combination above (1.66.407.1 and 2.07.51.22_2)? I want to try the white GTX theme but if anything goes wrong i cant flash back to default rom and radio.
I found a page which is offering:
RUU_Leo_HTC_GER_1.66.407.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
and
RUU_Leo_HTC_GER_1.66.407.1_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship.exe
but which do i need the CRC signed or not? And what does CRC signed mean?
Thanks in advice

The links you referred are for german Language. and to install any other Stock/Custom rom on your Hd2 you must have hspl2 installed on it first. check out for your choice of rom from many chef's available here. and flash it Simple using USB Sync process.
And if you want to go back to your stock rom . Then make a dump of your stock rom and flash it thru SD card. it will restore your hd2 OS back to the state as it comes from factory with original SPL.
for more information Search Forum.
Note: Installing Rom with Spl 2.10 or above( if any in future )Thru SD card will make your hd2 Lock to SPL 2.10 only. You Cannot Degrade SPL version. TRY ONLY USB. it is better and Good option to flash.

Noob here ... help needed

Okay guys I just got a HTC phone recently from Dubai and I live in India. I downloaded the HSPL for my HD 2 and currently my ROM is 1.48.488.1 and Radio is 2.05.51.05_2
I would like to know how to upgrade my ROM using HSPL.
Help would be really appreciated.

Read the stickys in the ROM Development forum.
Look here it tells you everything. Try to use the search function to find the answers to your questions, this topic comes up too often and people will usually flame you for not even looking at the stickys in the relevant forum.

Really sorry for posting in the wrong section but I did check that thread and that's how I learnt how to HSPL. What I don't know is which version of ROM should I get? I did check the various threads and there I found some official ROMS. I would like to know whether the official ROMs will work on my HD 2 using HSPL.

If you have HSPL installed you can use any offical ROM, but you may well have to be mindful of the radio you have installed, flashing an incompatable ROM/radio combo will not do you any favours. T-Mobile US devices use a different radio than the international devices so flashing a US ROM without having a US radio will lock up your device.
Are you planning on flashing a custom ROM, or official ROM from your network provider?

I am currently downloading the official ROM I found in one of the threads. It says 1.66 - Test Rom (english).
This one to be precise - "World Wide English - TEST rom (WWE) 1.66.405.1 - Direct Link"
Is it ok and will it work with Radio 2.05.51.05_2

Have a look here, I don't like the sound of a 'Test ROM'. Your radio will be compatable with all of those 1.66 ROMs.

Thanks for the link.
I see a more later version of ROM there. I would like to install 2.02 version of ROM as I guess it would be the better than the 1.66 one and hence won't require a lot of updating. When I click on the 2.02 version, I see only 1 link inside that folder. Should I just click on that link for the download to start? And what about the radio version? Is my radio version okay for the 2.02 version?

i should stay away from 2.02 too. in fairly sure that too is a test ROM. u think it even has a watermark.
if you want the latest, why not go for the tmous 2.13 rom?

So which one do you suggest I should download?
I mean are you sure 2.13 will work with my radio version?
And one more thing, when I go to 2.13 ... it says 0 files in the location?

You will have to update your radio to use that ROM. It's a T-Mobile US ROM. I am not too sure if the radio comes bundled with the ROM when you flash an official ROM as I only flash custom. But to be on the safe side flash a radio from here before you flash the ROM. You need to make sure the radio is a 2.07.50.27 NOT a 2.05.51.05_2. It doesn't matter what radio it is aslong as it's a 2.xx.50.xx and not a 2.xx.51.xx, .50 radios are for T-Mobile US ROMs, which is what the 2.xx ROMs are.

I think I will download Radio 2.10.50.8_2 ... I just have to click on the rapid share link, download it ... run it and connect my HD 2 with WMDC to install the radio right?
Also, please suggest how to get the 2.13 rom as there are no files in that folder.

To be honest, if you are going to flash a ROM, I would probably advise trying a custom. That 4shared link doesn't seem to have many decent 2.xx ROMs. I am not too familiar with official ROMs and which is good/no so good.
I am very biased toward Energy ROMs if you click my sig it will direct you to the page, there are many other fantastic ROMs about Artemis is another. Custom ROMs are lighter and much faster than stock ROMs and are obviously installed in exactly the same was as the offcial.

Okay fine, please check as I have sent you a private message. I will download custom ROM only now. Would really appreciate if you help me out through chat.

I downloaded but I havent flashed it becoz I am affraid that I might not be able to flash any custom rom any more..

Thanks for prompt info, however upon keying in my HD2 serial no, it says the software is not suitable for my mobile. Would you suggest I should still try with other links available and upgrade it (for Singapore). Many thanks.

Yes you should download from the Singapore page as the ROM at the HK site is for CHT whereas Singapore is either CHS or WWE.

I've have been running the HK 1.72.831.1 ROM for ages, then i decided to flash to this ROM, been using it for the last week, and for my HD2, this ROM is a pile of sh*t
issue's i've dicsovered so far
1. issues with launching video from album view, issues range from no video playback, to radio buttons disappear at bottom of screen....never had these issue wth 1.72.831.1 when playing the same videos
2. consumes lots of RAM ( 80-90 % ), compared to 1.72 ( 40-70ish% ), so much so that applications will fail, intermittant usage of opera for example.
It's a pitty, cause overall this ROM is much more responsive, and the radio seems more responsive too ( eg enable/disable wifi etc... )
Looks like i'll be rolling back to 1.72.831.1

Sir like mention almost everywhere; Stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible with HSPL!
You need to remove HSPL before installing stock ROM 3.14! If you don't do it the above mentioned problems are normal!

Hi,
I just wanna share my experience.I just flashed the Stock ROM after many times consideration. I felt that no increase in term of speed [I used to flash Energy as a benchmark of ROM speed ] I mean it was slower than any cooked ROM. So I decided to go back to Cooked ROM. Now, I am using Carnage HD v.4.2 which is faster than the stock ROM.
In flashing the stock ROM, I had to remove HSPL2 by way of running HSPL2 from my PC (Win XP Pro SP3) and choose SPL 1.66. I succeeded, then I flashed the stock ROM also from my PC.
In flashing back to Cooked ROM, I use SSPL. First attempt, my PC got crashed (BSOD), I wasnt sure the reason of which. The second attempt, I succeeded.
Now I have SPL 3.03 in my HD2. I read that few users reported that they can downgrade the SPL. I am not sure whether it is safe. I need time to think about it.
Cheers....

You can downgrade your spl version from 3.03 by flashing a older stock Rom.

After I flashed this ROM to my phone, upgrading it to any Artemis ROM via SSPL would load HSPL 1.42 instead of 3.03. Also, I've had problems with Artemis ROMS after flashing to this stock ROM, such as stuck on HTC boot screen or soft reset becoming hard resets. Could it be a problem with the HSPL? How do I make sure that it loads HSPL 3.03 when flashing Artemis instead of 1.42?

Sir if you take some time to read the installation instructions on the Artemis Rom thread you will see that you need to remove HSPL if you used 3.14 stock Rom based Rom's.
