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,
Hi
I have just got a HD2 on T-Mobile, and don't like the fact that they have been playing around with the software. Opera won't play flash video as it looks to have been removed and the you tube app has been deleted as well.
Also my reception is worse than my MDA compact IV and I can even get HSDPA anymore at home. It mostly connects on G but sometime tries to flick to 3G then loses connection and goes back to G again.
I am thinking of flashing the phone with a different rom and radio. Which ones are people find best at the moment. I understand that you can release extra ram and make the phone use all of the 1GHz processor.
From reading the Wiki's I understand that I can HSPL the phone to 1.42, but most of the roms are saying spl 2.02 which I can't see anywere. Am I missing something here??
Can I flash the roms from the HTC site without Hardspl'ing the phone first? It won't accept my serial number, but there are some posted on here which will allow me to download it from htc??
Any help/advise with links would be a great help
Andy
Opera doesn't have flash, use IE. Even then it doesnt always work.
First off Tmo are really strict about their internet alloweages. I think if you go to their store you can have the child lock removed (on their by default) which blocks websties (and therefore apps related to sites) from being accessed. (try going on to youtube on opera over date connection, youll see what I mean)
And the whole rom issue, you can flash HSPL to your device if your current SPL is 1.42 some newer tmobile hd2's come with 2.02 spl which isnt compatible with HSPL. So to check it, power on the phone holding volume up (I think, may be volume down) and check what it says at the top of the screen (spl version)
to get out of the bootloader pull out the battery.
If your SPL version is 1.42 then you will be able to flash HSPL and start flashing cooked roms and radios.

I think you are mistaking the software version 2.02 with spl 2 in the cooked roms. Most (none?) of the cooked roms dont include spl at all. Only the leaked T Mob rom that gave us software version 2.02 (as oposed to 1.43 and 1.66) has spl 2 in it, so steer clear of that one, , besides, it's a test rom if i understand it correctly, and will only work for so many reboots.
My advice, instal HSPL and then pick either a 1.66 official room or a cooked one.
If one DOES have/require spl2 i'm sure itwill say so in the first post of that roms thread.

nope goldcard is serial related. I tried 3 of mine goldcards, still the same issue....
Gonna try wwe 1.66, The spl 2.07 vendor locks you, but now you have to find the correct rom tht get's accepted

The thing is the screen shows the Trianlge.
And in Bootloader it says you need to upgrade rom.
But when you try to update it reboots at 1% giving diffrent errors.

had this problem yesterday, too... something went wrong flashing...
only through htc hotline i have found out: my phone is vodafone uk branded... and i didn't check my goldcard... maybe i deleted gold status some time ago...
THERE MUST BE A WAY TO MAKE A GOLDCARD WITHOUT THE HD2!
can you install a official 1.66-rom with sdcard-method and apply hardspl afterwards?
i guess the problem is: there is no 1.42-spl-rom for the TMOUS-CID......
HX-BC
SPL-2.07.000 8G XE
MicroP-Wrong Platform(0x1)
MicroP(Touch) 0x30
Bootloader status.
1.66 WWE didn't work... So I think MTTY is only option?
why didn't you just re-cook the 2.07-rom and use it with Hardspl???
new 2.07spl not needed. everything works with 1.42hspl.......

SPL 2.0 gave me good battery life in 2.02, so that's why I wanted to upgrade SPL aswell.
Something went wrong during flash.
Cause fard even custom flashed spl 2.07, but he's sleeping now.....
hope we'll see a 2.0XHSPL soon....
Dont know if i can ever save my phone....

MY hone is branded, too... and vodafone uk stopped hd2 sales and development... still 1.43 latest rom...

Fards know how to make a goldcard, but you have to wait a day.
If you don't have time for waiting use mtty....
One more thing to try is to flash TMOUS 2.01 or 2.02 and see if they can be flashed!!!!!
If they can beflashed, and i remember correct, they can be overwritten with the old hardspl afterwards.
Good luck!

Already tried, but no succes.
I've been stuck with SPL-2.0 for a while now myself. Nothing gets it off including multiple goldcard attempts and full flashing of stock roms. It seems like it's there to stay, at least until we get a HSPL2.0 which I'm waiting for.
My radio version is stuck where it is but I can upgrade firmwares using SSPL which is nice. I just flashed Miri's latest 2.05 and everything works fine. Still, I hate having my SPL locked down like this.

I had no problems flashing diffrent roms and spl's.
Was on 1.43, 1.48, 1.66, 2.00, but now i'm stuck @ 2.07
i received a T-Mobile US Branded HD2 for free at a training event in NYC Monday. i jacked the phone up immediately when i got home in a attempt to flash the hspl for custom rom flashing. of course the hspl flash failed because of the new spl version so i then attempted to downgrade it with a older shipped rom using bepe's SSPL following his instructions correctly. as soon as the status bar appears on my pc, my hd2 prompts me asking to allow the application to go into bootloader. after touching yes, the hd2 screen turns black and stays black with the sspl ruu displaying a connectivity error.
ahhhhhhhhh! somebody help.
im guessing my spl is too new to downgrade?
In a word, yes (I think, might be wrong)...
Have you not read of the people flashing to the T-Mobile 2.x ROMs who can't downgrade their SPL if not using HSPL?
Don't know whether MTTY with an SD card flash would work but I wouldn't risk it
as I understand the s pl 2 issue, it seems theres no way to down grade it currently. I believe you can flash cooked roms with sspl.
do you have spl 2? boot to boot loader and check, cos it might be 1.6 and you can fix that one by flashing a lower stock rom that matches the vendor.(or gold carding, but gold card won't work on 2)
oh, regarding the connectivity error, try flash from a usb port directly on the motherboard (round the back)I get connectivity errors with hspl using ports in the front of the pc case.

sspl should work.
connect the leo normally with active sync, ie a booted running rom.
out should change to the sspl tricolor screen.
leave it too time out. pull the usb cable.plug it back in again, without doing anything to the leo..
it should change to usb. rerun sspl.
I'd similar situation, you've to install official ROM with lower version of SPL like version 1.48 then you can apply Hard SPL and it'll work.
To do it i used GoldCard method (installation using the SD card method).
My configuration:
HD2, TMOUS 2.10
What's the version of your ROM and if it's possible to post a screen capture of the "Software Information" page?
Good Luck
DON'T USE SSPL and HSPL on new 576/1024 GB devices.
There are (in 1.42) no support for 1024 chips.
New SSPL and HSPL (based on 2.08) will work. In development.

yea, I love the phone but it def needs a custom rom lol. The US tmobile version also did not come with the tether app that htc said it would come with. But I was able to download it, but the bad part is when you tether the hd2 cant surf the web :*(
I am so glad I came across this thread. Give me the exact answers I was looking for.
I love custom rom's so i cant wait to flash one to this thing. Btw I love the phone. Everything is awesome!

spl-2.00.1000 xe
heres what i have done so far. i task29 the device tried to flash radio to 2.15. i found that my spl had to be either updated or downgraded and i have tried to upgrade it and it sits at the htc scree at 0%. i also have tried flashing an official rom which will not take either. any help would be much appreciated thanx in advance
oops, that's a manufacturing test spl, and cant easily be changed.
In a nutshell, flash a rom with spl 2.02 ( go see the "tmous test and stock roms" thread, second in the list do NOT NOT NOT flash the first rom in the list if you have a tmous) and then find the version of hspl that has been edited to work with spl 2.02, use that to set spl 2.08 and then you should be good to go.
Dont just dive in, read THIS and THIS and if you decide you need a goldcard then send me your sd cards unique serial and an email address.
could you link me to the tmous test and stock roms? or tell me what section its under please and do you have yahoo or meebo skype anything? i need help baaaaad its a customers fone and was supposed to be done tonight would appreciate alot if you could help me get this done
its in the winmo tmobile section. If the phoen isnt a tmous, then you will possibly need a goldcard since those roms are tmous roms.
I cant help you step by step, its 3am and im away shortly, good luck tho, and don't be rash, thats how mistakes get made.
2.03?
all those rom links are down do you know where i could get a 2.03 rom from? seem that was what worked for one of our members.
