Updated2: There has been an ROM update from HTC itself. See this post.
Hi,
I need to send my Vodafone NLD branded* HTC HD2 in for repairs (see this thread). Problem is I've HSPL'ed it and installed a newer unbranded rom -1.48.404.2 (71294) NLD with radio 2.06.51.07-, still wanted to upgrade to a newer ROM bud didn't bother because everything worked fine and I had to erase everything. 'T was the newest when I got the HD2...
I only did this because the unbranded ROM was stuck at 1.43 (and still is!)
So, does anyone know where I can find the official branded Vodafone NL 1.43 (or newer!) rom so I can restore my SPL with a MicroSD card flash?
Alternatively, does anyone know either:
Another solution/suggestion?
How I can create a goldcard (I won't mind to pay a few bucks) which will restore the SPL and will restore the ROM to a version that has a high/99,9% chance to fool the repair centre?
Know how I can dump a ROM of a HD2? (I couldn't find it anywhere). I might be able to find someone who has a branded Vodafone NL HD2 and didn't "hack" it. I could then dump the rom and use it to flash my device. Ofcourse if that is succesful I'll also make the ROM available for download!
Any help found be appreciated!
* Actually its pretty stupid they branded it, they even promised they wouldn't do it anymore. The only change I could detect was the Vodafone logo and sound that was visible during boot (instead of the normal HTC screen with ROM info etc.)
[edit]
To clarify: this is about a branded Dutch version by Vodafone (NL branch). If you have Vodafone UK or ordered the English version from Vodafone NL (which is exactly the same as the Vodafone UK version) you can use one of these roms:
Vodafone UK Official signed 1.43 (origional ROM)
Vodafone UK Official signed 1.66) (1.66 ROM released on 22 Feb 2010)
Hmm if this is correct I could do what I want with a goldcard right? I would create a goldcard with the official unbranded 1.43 ROM and restore the origional SPL, radio and ROM. Thus the only difference they would notice is the unbranded ROM/OS/Splashscreen, but if I'm correct they mainly check if a HSPL is installed right?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think this should work. Will it fool Vodafone?
Okay, so I found webpatrick who was willing to dump his ROM
But how do I now make a flashable rom out of it? (e.g. the standard flashable .exe installer or a flashable leoimg.nbh)
I've found some information on how to do it (for thopaz and rhodium), but I can't get it clear enough for me to work.
So to clarify, I would like
1. As close to the origional as possible
2. At least the origional SPL (1.42 I think)
3. Splashscreen would be a pré
3. OS Rom would be fine, but I think it is 100% the same from the official HTC
4. Radio doesn't really matter to me, but to get the origional I would like it
Can anyone help me make it or make it for me?

Ow cmon, with all the ROM builders out there there must be someone who knows?
I see you got started...
Maybe good good to know HSPL2 is out, now it can revert to original SPL, so maybe bepe can help you reverting to NLD Vodafone SPL.
edit: Sorry the release notes say that you can only flash an original SPL using an official ROM.
I saw it, and it's good news. The only thing I'd like is the vodafone splash screen back, which is in te ROM. Otherwise I'm just going to return it saturdat with the SPL reverted to 1.42 through HSPL2

To be honest im glad i got my HD2 before it was officially available in the Netherlands, if i break it, i can send it straight to HTC, also, it didn't have any crappy branding or anything.
Then again i had to pay (quite some) for it, where as you new NLD hd2 users prolly didn't (or only a little)
Great news: HTC has released an upgrade for Vodafone branded HD2's itself
The version is branded 1.72.172.0.
I'm flashing it right now.
Uploading it to rapidshare right now.

Hey all,
I opened up my HTC HD2 today and first thing I thought I'd do is to upgrade its rom to the latest official release from HTC.
Unfortunately, when I go to http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=856 ( Release Date: 2010-01-25 ) and enter my serial, I'm told "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device"
From Googling and looking on here it would seem that most people who receive this message are tied to their operators rom and therefore can't 'officially' upgrade.
I got my phone from ebay 'sim free'. Currently things look like this on the phone:
OS version: 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
ROM version: 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE
ROM date: 10/26/09
Radio version: 2.04.50.22_2
Could this be a phone that was bought from an operator, though the phone has no signs of branding?? i.e. normal HTC startup screen, no logos on casing, etc.
I was hoping to use the latest official ROM on this device as not to void my warranty. Can anyone decypher from the above info why my phone can't get the latest ROM from HTC, and how to go about getting it?
Thanks in advance!!!
Just an update - I've assumed that the phone was never an official 'HTC sim free' - therefore with no time to waste (cut my losses, I should have checked before purchase) I've HardSPL'd it and am going to flash it with 1.66 WWE once its done downloading.
Oh well, I'm sure I would have HSPL'd it eventually anyway, curiosity always gets the better of me with these devices. Now to look into some custom rom business...!
All the HD2s have no branding but can be vendor locked in that the operator needs to approve ROMs for release. for example, Vodafone took a couple of months 2 release the 1.66 ROM afer HTC released it
Hi just got the Htc Leo week ago. First i want to upgrade my rom to the oficial one. Im running 1.43 wwe and i want load 1.66 wwe but there's two yhings witch stoping me:
1. On htc website i try tu download the 1.66 rom but when i put my serial number it said that: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
2. On sunnysoft page i dowload 1.66 rom but they write that:
LIMITATION
PN: 99HJZ022-00
(compare with the number on the label
under battery of your device)
and my number dont match 99HJY070-0
Is that mean that i cant upgrade my rom?
If i upgrade will i brick my leo
I'm not sure is that becouse my htc is branded to o2
Can someone provide me any help
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
I belive o2 branded HD2 do not have an official update as of yet. You can how ever HSPL the device and flash the rom. It will not have any ill effect if you follow the instructions.
myone...
My one is NOT branded and I can't download 1.66 based on serial as well. But being on factory rom has also advantages -> I can (and will) go back to the shop, put it on the table and say "thank you, I've had enough".
Did you try to download the official 1.66 ROM from here and install it on the device?
Can anyone please tell me how to see what ROM i am currently using. i.e. Vodaphone, O2, T-Mobile etc. I have only had the phone a couple of days and i want to update the ROM to latest unbranded version. Current version is 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE. The HTC support says i need the Vodafone ROM but i am sure my phone is unlocked and not sure if this will lock it again. Thanks in advance.
I'm hoping some expert can help me out here...
I've been using my HD2 on a 2year contract in the UK using an unlocked phone from the Carphone warehouse, on Orange network...
I cant upgrade until March but just this week my usb charger port is dead...Carphone warehouse took the phone to fix under warranty, but deemed the damage to be outside of the warranty. I didn't have insurance taken out on the phone,so...
I purchased a battery charger to keep me going until March when I can upgrade.
The dilemma I have is that I want to install the latest ROM, as somehow the software was downgraded recently when I had to hard reset. Im happy with the current ROM except that it has the problem of the keypad not working during a casll, making it impossible to listen to voicemail, or use speakerphone etc. I remember this happeniong before, but it fixed during an update from the HTC site.
Is it possible to install new ROMS using sd card? and can someone direct me to a download for the official stock htc ROM for my device.
The details of my device are:
Model HTC HD2 T8585
OS 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manila 2.5.20181527.0
ROM 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
ROM 09/29/10
Radio 2.15.50.14
Protocol 15.42.50.11U
Please someone help me out, I love the phone, but need the update.
Thanks in advance.
Got this resolved with a tweak of BsB Tweaks, all is working as I like it now.
Mods can remove this one now.
