Hey,
I am looking at flashing my HD2 to the latest official rom 1.66
However I idealy would like to get hold of a copy of the orginal O2 rom so I have that to restore to in the event of any problems.
Any ideas where I could get this as I cannot find one anywhere.
Cheers,
Rich
as far as im aware there isnt one
If you look at the fourth sticky down at the top of this forum it's in there. I can't post links yet, because I'm classed as a useless noob, probably because I use the search function so don't post much.

I have an O2 and have the image from above on an SD card, should I need to revert. Hope this helps.
Cheers mate,
I hadn't found that one via the search for some reason but hey!
That will be a great help, as I hadn't wanted to flash a non-O2 rom if I could not get it back to the O2 one if necessary later on.
Cheers again.

i'm very new here so please go easy with short hand, thx
I joined today and have been searching all day on this site and many others to see if there is a way to completely back up my oem rom so if i want i could reinstall it. and have been unsuccessfull in understanding if it can be done and how hard or easy it is. please any info will help.
Depending who your provider is, there are several stock roms already available. One of the few that I know of that is not available is US Cellular, and it's being worked on. As far as the other major providers, stocks are available and can for the most part be downloaded from HTC's website. Check there first, and if one is available, you are better off downloading it and using it to flash back if you want to go back.

thx for the reply, i did find a post for my rom its an alltel with 1.40 radio but the link took me to htc site. no rom down load that i could find there. the post was on this site it said he finaly got them updated but i couldnt figure out where on htc site. any info will help. my plan is to find it first and download to safe keep. then the fun will be on... i hope
For some reason HTC took down Altel's rom, however in the programing forum someone just posted a rapidshare version of Altel's rom, it should be near the end of one of the top 15 posts, scan thru them and you should be able to find it.
Here is the link to the post.

Before updating my TMobile HD2 via goldcard I would like a backup for the original TMobile ROM. Does such a thing exist and if so can anyone give me a link to the ROM ?
Thanks
Hi, all. I also have same request, if possible. Before updating rom with new sspl I would like to know where to download my original rom, just in case of errors.
I could not find any link for this specific rom, if some of you has some links, please post them.
Thanks!

spent ages searching for this:

Thanks! The only problem by now is that both links are for premium users...
there are a set of tools available under "itsutils" these tools allow you to back up ur rom...you'll need to find instructions they prob under blackstone rom section
Try this...

I too have a T-Mobile UK HD2 but a tad nervous hearing some problems in another thread. I would be grateful for any positive news from a T-Mobile UK user!
downloading it now...where did you get it from...its not on t-mobile site or in there forums..although i'm currently using 1.6 rom via goldcard
New member and a proud owner of an HD2 for the last 2 days. I got mine from a vendor in Chicago and it was an O2 branded unlocked phone. Not a big deal, after spending about 3 hrs trying to understand all the details of how to upgrade from 1.43 to 1.48. But i am trying to understand if 1.61 is an official HTC release, if so where can i download the ROM. Is there a Sticky which explains the diff between the ROMS. Is 2.01 coming out as an official HTC update or is it a cooked ROM. Is there a way to create a gold card without the help of the QMAT guys because they will be discotinuing their service soon. Please help me answer these questions, so that I never have to leave the WM paltform and go to IPHONE again. I love WM but just never worked for me. It looks like this HD2 might actually be working in my favor, so far happy.
I don't think you can make gold image without the qmat but the is really simple process that I follwed and it worked like a charm. 1.61 is the htc official realease for turkey region and is very fast and stable 2.01 is work in progress. here is the link to follow for gold image. this is the esiest to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602448
1.61
can someone post a link in the sticky for the 1.61rom so that everyone looking for it can have easy access. I have tried the fourm search option but it cannot search for numbers only. Or may be i am not doing it right.

Hi - just to tag onto the end of this one. I did the goldcard thingy last night....i have an english o2 branded phone (or i did have at least) its stock 1.48 now. So, here's the question? have i got to run through the entire goldcard walkthrough from the start to go to the turkish rom ? and do i have to generate another goldcard thing again from qmat or can i use the same one?
Thanks
No! You have to do the Goldcard only once! then you can use it as much as you want unles you format it afcourse!
I've formatted my card (quick format) and it still works....
Hi guys, anyone know the way to overcome this?
How to upgrade to a higher ROM?
Even HTC's website won't let me downloading the ROM saying that the upgrade aren't for this device!!!
Please!
p.s. sorry I'm new to winmo...
regards!
use a gold card in sd slot or just install HSPL first
wtf is a gold card? i keep seeing people refer to it but never what it is, i imagine its a sim card with a toffee penny wrapper stuck to it lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314
Basicly its a sd card with its unique serial number run though some software but as its no longer free just use hspl if you dont have a goldcard.
Forget about the goldcard, you don't need one so long as you have a copy of the original rom available, which you do. Hunt it out in the official roms forum. First post, first link, 1.43 section, its listed there. Thats your backup, then instal hspl and you can flash what you like.
Your HD2 is locked to o2 (UK) ROMs only so you cant put any of the official HTC ROMs or any of the custom ROMs from the "HD2 ROM Delvelopment" forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
because of this your always be running out of date software as the phone operators are always so slow at releasing updates if they do at all.
BUT if you download HSPL from the above forum thread "[HSPL] HowTo flash everything"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
and install it to your phone your then be able to put on any ROM you like. Don't worry its near impossible to muck anything up and you can always put the phone back to its original rom, just do a little reading if your still not sure.
Great Guys! HSPL helped!!! I've upgraded...shame I can't manage to download Rom 1.66 as it always crashes and the download in general is sooo slow (not the internet issue)...but maybe with a bit of patience I'll get it at the end!
Cheers once again!!!

HTC have now listed a new ROM upgrade (1.72.206.3 released 27/04/10) for the HD2 on their UK support website (htc.com/uk)
Let me know how you get on with it as when I enter my o2 serial number I still get the error message you mentioned. I have sent a message to HTC support...just waiting for a reply.

all you o2 guys that cant down load have been able to get 1.66 from htc's site for months now this rom is purley for the forgoton few (like me) who got the phone as o2 launched and locked down (no wifi router etc) I ran this rom for a day and it nice and snappy fast but its still not wm 6.5.3 so i am back on touch-x again now the 2.07 radio in the o2 rom was quite ok in my area when I used it a few months ago but the 2.10 in my opionion is a match for recption with better battery life just my 2 cents hope it may help some of you
What about Virgin Mobile? Will they get a Rom Upgrqade???? they seems to have been left out of the loop even though they were the first (technically second) carrier of the phone.
