Hi guys,
As most of O2 UK customers, I got stuck on 1.43 and it seems it will take them some time to release 1.66 (but who knows that? it might be 1.45).
So, I decided to not wait and have a try to cooked rom.
- If u r with O2 UK could u help me to do it step by step please?
- which rom wld u recommend.
- I know I void warranty but before I send the phone to repair I can put back
there my 1.43 firmware and everything is ok, am I right? Cld u send me a link to O2 1.43 firmeware just in case.
- any advice and help is welcome.
Cheers
o2 stock rom is in "leo official roms " thread, first post - first link - 1.43 folder.
no one can tell you what is the best rom.just be happy that you don't have a tmous so you can flash any rom you want no danger.
try some, and stick to what works for you.
most of all, read.

Does this rom contain o2 logo and settings as the one I am currently using?
Yes, as it's lablled o2...as with the VF one and T-Mobile UK ones

1 instal hspl2, choose any version , , 1.66.HSPL or 2.08.HSPL probably, doesnt really matter so long as you choose one with HSPL in the code.)
2 flash rom of choice
3 if required flash correct radio
How to flash - put rom or radio .nbh file in a folder along with customruu.exe, connect phone to usb (boot to bootloader first if your phone currently wont boot to a running system, like for after you flash the rom but before you flash the radio)
EDIT - If you want to flash back to stock, you can do it by running the .exe, no need to extract the .nbh or use customruu.

no, there isn't.
Here is a link for the default O2 ROM and Radio, it's self explanatory.
http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html
Go with WWE 1.66 add Bsb tweaks setup all your bit's and bob's to only manually update and trust me the battery will last 3 times longer than that shipped O2 rom
It generally lasts me about 3 days between charges now..quite brilliant !
I don't know exactly what they have done with the rom but it must be fully allowing power save options
One small point the rom is generic so You may need to setup service provider details, that should not be to hard for You
Ok, I'll go for original 1.66 first.
I ve got vista 64, is there anything I should know before I start?
lets sum up I need:
- 1.66.HSPL or 2.08.HSPL (cld u give me a link pls)
- Rom RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
is it the best one?
- I dont need a radio in this case, do I?
How long will it take approximately to make a phone working in order to call and receive calls 1h?

It takes about 10 mins to flash a ROM, so not long at all.

Hello everybody,
I have bought my new HTC HD2 from Vodafone Germany. I live in Germany and ,as all windows devices, my HTC is localized to Germany and the windows mobile 6.5 comes with the German language and I wanted to change it to English. I tried to download the ROM upgrade to "English-Arabic support" from HTC website but when I put the serial number of my device it says that this version is not suitable for your device and I have found another version "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe" and when I tried to install it I got an error says "INVALID Vendor ID" or something like this.
Finally I have bought a 3ed party software just to be enabled to read arabic but the language is still German
So please if anybody knows how to solve this problem and help me I will be thankful.
Best Regards,
Amer
install hspl then instal whichever run you like via usb.
i had the same probs here with vodaphone uk...
as above, install hspl, the sticky of this can be found in the leo roms section of this site and it will guide you, but the installation process is really straight forward.. then you are able to install any of the ROMS, be they official OR custom cooked roms..
My personal favourite is the ENERGY series of roms.. but have a good look about, im sure you will find many that offer the practicality and versatility your after!

Hi Ell_H,
Thank you very much for your reply and I have read about HSPL and it sounds amazing tool but another question about restoring the old system. How can I get the original ROM and restore the system to its old state after changing it?
Thanks in advanced.

You need to find the original rom for your phone, both region AND provider(if you were getting invalid serial on teh htc website then your phone is provider locked, so for example you would need to look for the german t mobile rom, if you got your phone from t mobile germany)
Once you have your original rom you can then use sd card method to remove hspl and restore to factory rom. You can only do this with your original shipped rom.
Problem upgradind German Vodafone ROM
Hi,
I have the same problem upgrading the Vodafone ROM. I would like to load the generic ROM or any other ROM that works with Vodafone. It can be English as well. If I try to load the generic through HTC site it checks the SN and doesn't allow the ROM upgrade.
What to do to load another up to date ROM without running into the same issue as Amer? There are so many ROM version out there and I don't want to risk trying the wrong ROM.
Thanks for help!

You need to obtain the rom from vodafone, or use HSPL / Gold Card to flash another ROM.
Thx for answer. I read about HSPL and will figure that out. I read there are requirements concerning the radio. My radio is 2.04.50.22_2 and ssems pretty old. Does someone know where to find the best guide how to do the HSPL install?
There are many ROMS out there and I want to make sure I will not run into trouble using it with Vada. What ROM to take is the question?
Danke!

now the phone cant even boot back to the main page like i cant diel phone calls i remove the sd card
and try turn on phone but triangle on screen thats it...
plz help
thank you
you have used the wrong rom. you need to find an original rom for your region and provider. (example if your phone is german and vodafone then you need the vodafone german rom)
once you find the correct rom do what you did last time and it will start.

oh in that case it is easy.
go to rom development section, find the "leo official roms" thread, look in first post first link.the rom you need says o2 in the name.
if you are trying to downgrade so you can put hspl on your phone look in the 1.43 folder)
there isn't an O2 1.48 ROM in the 4Shared folder, only their 1.43 one
o2 uk have only released one rom. no 1.48, no 1.66, only 1.43...are you sure your phone is an actual o2 phone? did you buy outright from o2? car phone warehouse perhaps?

i just bought the phone on ebay and it was already 1.66 he said he done this update thru htc and he says he got it on carphone wherehouse but im using an 02 sim not sure if its simlocked
does this help
thanks
OK, so it isn't an o2 locked rom. It should be a wwe one.
personally i would try this
http://www.4shared.com/account/file..._WWE_1434051_Radio_.html?sId=wJvHvpUN96nuOQU8
rom first
That is the 1.43 wwe rom. download, extract the ruu_signed.nbh, copy to sd card, reboot into bootloader, if it flashes, all good. You can then instal hspl, and flash any rom you like BY USB.
Sim lock is nothing to do with rom lock.
Excuse my maybe silly question but...
Why would we want to downgrade the ROM version??
(Beside of the need to send it to the repair of course)

so that you can instal HSPL and flash other roms. (HSPL needs SPL 1.42 or it wont instal)
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze....I am desperately in need of a Orange France original Rom, as i need to return the phone to orange and i need to get the HSPL off it and the regular one on.
If i put on a non orange France rom, ie. the shipped WWE one, or the French one, from HTC, they will know that i had to use a HSPL in order to overwrite the Orange rom.
Many thanks

Orange LEO - Original ROM
You can find it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/357315236/ROM_Leo_Orange.rar
I didn't test it as i use TMOUS 2.10 and I'm good with it.
Thank you so much, i am downloading it now.
Just in case anyone does a search on Orange France HD2, be careful. I have two of them, bought just before christmas, and both are defective and need to be returned to Orange. If you have a defective one, it will start powering itself off for no reason whatsoever. The problem will get more frequent, until it stops powering up or accepting power completely. If you have a cooked rom on it, you will need to restore the original spl AND Rom while you still can, and before it goes wrong, or you will not be able to power it up to revert to the original ones.
As i said this has happened to 2 phones, one after about a month and the second one after 2 months...both have the same rom and HSPL as you can see from my signature.
By the way, i also have one that came from O2 in the UK (Jan delivery)...no problems with that yet...fingers crossed!
you find it in the forum htc hd french.if it's wrong I have a true one complete.send me an help
Thanks for the kind offer
Hi Rayman...you said: you find it in the forum htc hd french.if it's wrong I have a true one complete.send me an help"
Someone has very kindly posted a link to a copy of the Rom ( above) and am about to test it...fingers crossed!...Thank you so much for the offer though...I will let you know if it does not work!
The Franch France Orange official Rom is on this link and has apparently been tested by another member,,,I am about to try it!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BC4FGYH4
Ok...this is the follow up....The Rom worked and is the French Orange one, only problem is it has not changed the HSPL back to the original SPL?
I am asking for help on this in another thread, and will report back when i get somewhere.
If anyone else has any bright ideas i would be more than happy to hear them!

Hi!
Before all, you need to flash an official HTC ROM that contains the SPL 1.42 (like the version 1.43.406.2) from SDCARD.
Just put into the SD card the RUU_signed.nbh extracted from this shipped rom, renamed into leoimg.nbh. Then boot + volume down.
It will flash it and change your HSPL back to 1.42.
After that, you can flash the Orange one with SSPL method.
I hope someone will confirm this
P.S. : I uploaded the LEOIMG.nbh file I extracted from the official HTC ROM 1.43.406.2 French.
You can find it here (it's a ZIP archive) : megaupload.com/?d=HRHGOJHC

Thanks Ruth
I am downloading your image now...Thank you so much, as my serial did not work on the HTC site.
Also what is the "SSPL method", is that with the Gold card, because if it is, gold card method is no longer available.
Of course i will post how i get on with this, once i get the necessary rom and have loaded everything. I am sure this will be very useful to lots of people on here, because it is sounding like quite a few people are having manufacturer problems with their phones.
Do you think Orange France would be able to complain if the phone was returned with an official rom on it? I would have thought as long as it is an official rom and not a hacked rom, it does not matter if it is HTC or Orange's rom.
Another member is looking for a list of serials which i will also post up here when i get them, so it will make it easier to download the official roms.
Many thanks again for your kind advice.

1) SSPL allows you to flash cooked ROMS (so the Orange one too) without SPL and Radio, so only the Operating System is flashed.
You can get the tool here, with a nice tutorial : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606713
2) It seems that Orange France is not as ...blind... as others french mobile providers. I think it's much better to return the phone with the original Orange rom.
Hi guys,
Need some step by step help.
I believe the HD2 is locked to the O2 in the UK and it is still have the very old 1.48 rom and I would like to upgrade to the latest 1.66 but when I try to download the rom from the HTC site it said the rom is not for my phone after I enter my Serial Number.
So, any one know which SN i need in order to download the 1.66 rom in English WWE? Also, what do I need to install the rom with my O2 locked HD2? I am sure even if I have the rom the upgrade won't let me because it is locked to O2 UK. Please help!
All I want is to make my HD2 better (than the stupid Iphone)

I've already tried and downloaded it using a different serial. The updater then prevents you from flashing as it checks the serial prior to flashing.
Your best bet is to flash using a ROM in the ROM forum section.
mh....changing rom isnt very difficult..
but: i would only do, if really needed.
i'm also using 1.48 and i don't wanna change since an official rom supports landscape manila.
but if you want, do this:
choose the right S/N here and download your ROM.
when you've got it, you need to install HSPL first.
all about HSPL is written in this thread.
after installing hspl successfully, you can run the RUU.exe, which you downloaded from htc.com .
but think about it carefully...it could void your warranty
but all about that in hspl thread.
good luck.
DN41
Instal HSPL2 from the HSPL/HSPL2 thread in rom development. (It is fully reversable, your warranty is only temporarily void)
Then go to the Leo Official Roms thread in rom development, first post, first link, brings up a list of folder
1.42
1.48
1.66
etc etc
Look in the 1.66 folder for one with 'HTC' and 'WWE' in the title (world wide english and HTC unbranded)
Download it, and with your phone connected to usb, run the exe you downloaded.
THis WILL of course reset your phone completely, so be sure and back up your data first.
guys I didn't need HSPL when I updated. I was using the stock ROM, then I downloaded the official 1.66 ROM from this forum (coz my serial gave an invalid error on HTC website). I just connected with USB and ran activesync/windows mobile device manager and ran the .exe file of the update.
so your leo wasn't "branded".
where did you buy it?
DN41
oh yer of course, how n00b of me to forget that. Yer mine was bought online from handtec (official reseller).
EDIT: Sry kingdanny, just ignore my post. You may get confused otherwise.
Hi all, I have been having many problems with my HTC HD2 which i got with the o2 UK network. So I tried to upgrade it to 1.6 Rom (unofficial o2 update) which i thought may fix alot of the problems which it has not. So I have to return it back to O2 now, so how do I change it back to the 1.4 Rom that this phone came with? Oh yes if you have not guessed im not techy at all, so please explain in very simple language, thanks!
hd2 rom development section, Leo official roms thread, first post first link, 1.43 folder, download one of the two roms that says O2 UK (theyre both the same, of one doesnt work try the other)
connect phone to pc, when connected, run the O2 Uk .exe file, , , this will reset the rom and radio to stock.
Next, run HSPL2 (download if you havent already got it, theres a link im my sig) and in the dropdown list, choose 1.42.0000 OK,
job done. The phone is now stock.
