ROM upgrade - HD2 General

Hi,
Some time ago I upgraded my radio to some new unofficial version (this doesn't require HSPL right?). However, will my radio be updated as well when I upgrade the rom to 1.66 (if it ever will arrive for the Netherlands...) or will my radio stay the same? Does this also mean I will have to keep on upgrading unofficial radio's?

Upgrading Radio

I am currently running radio version 1.46.30.11. I have always had problems with calls not coming through to my phone or outgoing calls connecting and texts getting delayed, if I use another phone these problems disappear so I know its this handset.
I am wondering if upgrading the radio version would help? IO have had a search around on the trinity forums and there doesn't seem to be a lot of chat about it. How do I go about upgrading? Do I have to flash my phone with a ROM which has the newer radio contained?
Its originally an Orange SPV M700 which was running official ROMs until I took the plunge and put Mary on a few days ago but the problems still occur.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
normaly a radio upgrade is just like a normal upgrade
if the radio nbf is present it's inlcuded if not it's not
if the only nbf present is the radio one only the radio is upgraded
Do you think upgrading the radio ROM would help? Do you know where I can find just the radio ROM for version 1.50.08.11?
Thanks for the help.

KJAM official ROM/Radio

I want to switch back to WM5 and require the official WM5 WWE ROM, where do I get it. (CID/SIM unlocked). I also need the official/best radio/GSM for it. any links? and do I need to downgrade my SPL/IPL version for it?
or does the ROM includes the Radio/GSM?
ok installed K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship and it solved most of issues.

My ROM & Radio Versions.

Had my HD2 about 10 days now and its on o2. Just wanted to ask the more experienced members about my version numbers.
Here they are:
ROM Version: 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
Radio Version: 2.04.50.22_2
I was wondering how up to date they were and whether I would benefit from updating the ROM?
A Bit Of History: My phone prior to this was the Omnia i900. I tried to flash the ROM on that with the help and advice of some users from the MoDaCo forum. Basically I screwed up, and the phone had to be sent to a Samsung Repair Centre. I was without it for 2 whole weeks! I felt like topping myself!!
While I would be very hesitant to attempt to flash again, it is something I have to consider over the medium to long term just for the sake of keeping the phone up to date.
rom 1.43 is about as out of date as a 6 month phone can be. problem is that o2 still haven't released an update. (current official updates are 1.66 and/or 1.72 for some other countries/carriers.)
personally I've been using cooked roms based on version 2.10 and radio 2.08 for weeks....... light years ahead off the o2 stock rom.

Thx for the reply.
I'm still inside my 14 day return period. Would you recommend returning the phone? Would an unlocked phone be better rather than one locked to o2? If so, I'm more than willing to do this. Or is it possible to unlock this phone yourself?
I notice on the HTC support page there is a UK 1.48 ROM update. Would anyone recommend this?
Yeh if it worked, start to get the flashing itch myself, after 5 months of having it
o2 are how to say crap at releasing updates. If you can buy this unlocked, i know i wish i had...

Any way to get the 3.14 ROM running on a T-Mobile UK branded HD2...?

Sorry if I'm being thick, here.
My HD2 was originally bought direct from T-Mobile UK. It was Hard-SPL'ed a long time ago, so I recently tried putting the new 3.14 generic ROM onto it, only to run into the "RAM cut in half" problem; apparently the 3.14 ROM is not fully compatible with any currently released HSPL version. For owners of non-branded HD2's this isn't a problem - they can simply replace the HSPL with a standard, non-hacked SPL, and then flash the ROM; but if I put the standard SPL back on my phone, it goes back to being treated as a branded phone, which cannot install non-branded ROM updates - the installation programme refuses to play ball.
Is there any way around this, or do I have to wait for either a T-Mobile version of the 3.14 ROM, or a 3.14-compatible HSPL?
Best thing you can do is waiting fore a a T-Mobile version of the 3.14 ROM, or a 3.14-compatible HSPL version.
HTC is working to make fore every aria/language/(branded / unbranded) a update to the 3.14 base stock rom, it's a matter of time.
I had the same problem, but with an O2 supplied phone. What I did was to install HSPL (using HSPL3) and then load Dutty's ML Family Rom. This gave me 3.14, plus the extra memory, plus WM-6.5.1. You'll need to reinstall your software though.
The ROM is fast and stable.
Visit this page - you can get a Goldcard in which you will be able to install the new ROM.

[Q] HTC HD2 Update-Help (to 3.14.407.2) with SSPL ?!

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
