windows 6.5, 6.5.x
when you flash a rom does it matter for these?
what if you want 6.5.x but currently have 6.5?
how does that work?
which rom do you like for the t-mous hd2 and why?
which rom has the least bugs, good battery life, and fast?
6.5 is what u hav now, 6.5.x only differs from the start menu going from the top of the screen to the bottom of it alsowen dealin with the newer roms 6.5.x usaly has the most updated software.... now always keep in mind to research the info before making a new thread, the reason for this is because when u go into a cooked rom thread all the info u need and pictures of the rom is in the thread... and please read before u do anything to your device
but i was wondering, if you flash a 6.5.x rom onto your 6.5 after you hspl will it still work or will it brick?? im not really sure about the whole flashing thing yet it still confuses me

when you flash, your current rom is completely wiped so it doesn't matter what version it is.

so to my understanding on flashing, you first hspl your phone then download your rom and radio first you flash radio then rom?
if you downgrade from 2.13 to 2.10.0 to hspl your phone, and you flash via micro sd, there isnt a possible way to brick your phone right? :/

doesnt really matter what order you flash them because you have a tmous, so the rom will work with any tmous radio, including the one already on your phone, and if there isnt a tmous radio on your phone then its already bricked
You probably learned that re: the normal leo, where the rom doesnt boot until the radio is flashed, but doesnt affect tmous.

Heh, theres always a chance, just like theres a chance you will fall over in the bathroom and break your neck whilst brushing your teeth, , , , , , hehe.
Make sure you have plenty of charge in your battery, and dont mess with it whilst its flashing, and it should be fine.

so whe i downgrade back to 2.10, you just install the rom right? and if your radio is 2.10 its fine right?
your radio should work fine with most of the roms that you install. If a particular rom requires a specific radio version 1 of 2 things will happen. 1) The chef will include it in the rom or 2) the chef will state the radio version needed as a recomendation. Sometimes a specific radio version will work better where as a different radio version may affect reception, battery life among other things. You can't however get whatever radio version you feel like because some radios are location specific (no need for a portuguese radio when you live in Chicago) Go to the XDA-Wiki and look for radios. They have a table explaining each radio version, it's carrier and it's location. Best of luck on journey through flashing. It is an exciting one.

go for it, you are flashing a tmous rom onto a tmous phone with a tmous radio 1 - included in the rom and 2 - already on the phone. It will alllll be fine.
Just wondering, what rom are you flashing? I understand your anxiety about flashing. Took me couple of months to get the courage to do so. I was afraid to brick my precious TP2.

Hey guys.. I havent tried flashing any of the cooked ROMs before. Which do u guys think I should try out? There's just too many of them. Im currently on the 1.665 WWE official ROM
Hi,
Wellcome!
I'm using and recommended Miri's ROM :
March 11, 2010 02:27 AM
Miri HD2 WM6.5.X (23545) ROM :: Sense 2.5 with Swype :: V 8.0
Is there a greater difference than the stock 1.66?
6.5.x has the (IMO rubbish) new buttons at the bottom - if you want stock looks then go for the WM6.5 version I've got on my sig...
Yes but in terms of performance and visual effects, is there really a big incentive as to switching to cooked ROMs?

Hi
Make sure you have the HSPL on your device before you try any cooked roms. Also there are SSPL, Goldcard available . You have to read the sticky threads before you try to flash. You are warned without above you might brick your device.
good luck
I think im gonna try the artemis 5.5. Good feedback on that? Yes ive done the app steps
quick tip - never use the sd card method to flash a phone, you're more likely to brick it or, worse, put an SPL that can't be rolled back. ALWAYS use HSPL and flash via ActiveSync/WMDC
KAV2010 keeps deleting HSPL as soon as I unzip it. Geez..
I flashed a cooked rom thru the Spl method. Now my phone is unable to boot. I am unable to perform hard rest. What should i do?

It depends on the ROM you have installed but is more like you have to install radio 2.08 or 2.07 the 2.10 roms are radio dependant.

Me
How do I do that now that my phone cant boot?

If you've got HSPL on, just turn your phone off, battery out if necessary. Then replace battery, hold down volume down button and press the power button (end call). It will boot into bootloader, then you can use custom RUU to put another radio on, try 2.08.50.08_2 That is a guess as to the right radio, but might help you out.
PS Sternas says he uses 2.06.51.07 radio in his Artemis ROM, so try that one.
I have radio version 2.05.51.05_2 and I would like to use this rom -
ROM: ★ Energy Series 23557|Apr 12| , which radio version should I use ?
I found Leo_RADIO_15.33.50.07U_2.07.50.27 **(from TMOUS 2.07) which looks ok, but will this be ok for a 512mb HTC hd2? Or is it for the T mobile version only?
Also, do I update the radio first? with my current stock ROM? Or do I update the ROM first and then update Radio?
Thanks in Advance
Will this be your first flash?
If so, check this before do anything else: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
If not, and if you already have HSPL installed on your device, you should first flash the RADIO ROM and then the ROM. (check previous link for that too)
I personally like the one's on my sig, but you must try several rom's and radios' and see wich one you like more.
Hope i could help.
i think next time you may not make a new thread. you can ask what you are confused on Energy ROM thread...

Thanks for that. This is my first flash, but I have already run hspl2 and my phone is set to 1.42 hspl.
I just want to make sure I have all the correct info before I flash.
So you can confirm that this radio will work with my device?
Hi
I use Energy rom now
I use radio 2.08.50.08_2
And everything is OK
But somebody said that radio 2.07 will give a better battery life, you could try this I use radio 2.08 because I like the newer radio
You should upgrade radio first, then Rom
My device is "normal" HD2
Im sure you have either a: allready flashed your phone successfully
or b: bricked it and are now crying under your bed sheets as you've managed to make the worlds most expesive door stop.
either way, do energy roms will not work with a .51 radio. it has to be a .50.
I use 2.08.50.08 and works a charm, its reported that 2.07 radio's are better for battery life.

As djchubbs said, you should use only .50 RADIO's on Energy ROM, so the one you said it's ok
Happy flashing
Sorry really to be a pain here, but if someone does not mind, can they explain to me ROM, Radio and HSPL? I think i know that ROM is the software running on your phone. but it that version number increased everytime someone make a custom ROM out from an official one?
Radio as far as i know is for wifi, radio, etc. is this correct ? And final we have HSPL, now what do need that for, and for what use it is?
I am ofcourse asking these questions because i started to look at all the nice ROM's out there and not sure if i should stick to what im doing and keep going for the higher numbers. Would be very happy if someone could quickly explain them all properly and then maybe guide me to other links where i can read more...
Thank you in advance...
SPL - Secondary Program Loader - Think of it as the BIOS of your phone. It starts the operating system loading, and when you flash it verifies cid and region locks.
HSPL - Hard Secondary Program Loader - This is the creation of Bepe and Cotulla and Co. and is a hacked version of the official SPL that bypasses the checks when you flash a rom. It requires SPL 1.42.0000 on your phone to use.
This is the only version that works for telstra phones.
HSPL2 - is an upgrade to HSPL that allows witching between most of the available SPL's, and also their HSPL equivalents. (So if you want to install cooked roms, you might choose 2.08.HSPL, whilst if you want to go back to official, you would choose 1.42.0000 in the HSPL2 dropdown)
HSPL1024 - Is HSPL specific to the tmous hd2.
hardware ROM - The Read Only Memory of the phone. Think of it as the hard disk in your device. This is your storage memory.
'the' rom - When we talk about flashing roms, we mean the file that installs the whole operating system on your phone. This file is 'flashed' to the rom storage space, where it installs itself. After it finishes configuring itself, whatever is left is your available storage memory. (usually around 180 meg on a standard hd2)
Official ROMS have version numbers such as 1.66 , 1.72. 2.10.
Version numbers of cooked roms are meaningless. They only apply to that chefs roms. He/She applies versions as they see fit, however you can get a fair bit of info from the ro mthread title.
Example, they will usually tell you the base of the rom, i.e what stock rom was used as a base, 1.66, or 2.10 for example, and also the windows build version, (the 5 digit 21xxx number, i dont know whats what with those, but the higher ones are winmo 6.5.x) and more as you get used to reading them.
radio hardware - The different models have different actual hardware that connects to the mobile network. That is why you cant get 3g on at&t with a T Mo USA hd2. No matter what software radio you flash, the hardware is wrong.
radio rom - The radio software sits between windows mobile and the hardware. It controls the hardware based on what you want to do. There are all kinds of reports of better/worse battery life, connection strength, sound quality results when flashing digfferent radios.
flashing a radio does NOT require a hard reset, so wont affect your install.
Some roms (example the 576 meg enabled roms) require specific radios, read the rom posts for info.
The big danger with radio flashing is only applicable to tmous users, , if they flash a radio with ..51.. in the version number, their phone dies.
A useful read. I hope you got a thank you...
heh, well i got one now, cheers,
Dear Samsamuel !
Tx a lot ! Although I study this forum now since I am a HD2 owner (who never flashed a cooked ROM) I start to understand these cryptic topic now by Your explanations, making me more brave to try it once. Tx
The only thing I still can´t figure out is: WTF are the REAL differences of the stock-ROMS eg. what EXACTLY is changed between ROM 1.43 WWE, 1.48 WWE, 1.66 WWE, 1.72 (no WWE methinks).
I got so far to understand that some ROM-upgrades are just earlier ROMs with all the following patches included, but some are a major switch from WM 6.5 to 6.5.x and Sense 2.5.19xxxx to 2xxxx, giving new features like rotation in all Sense-Screens.
Plz, get me right, I spend all bad-weather-weekends hours and hours reading in the ROM-cooker-section, read XDA on my HD at airports and train stations but the shere mass of info provided - a little bit here, an info there - prevents me to get the WHOLE picture. There is a thread about which ROMs are officially out till now but with NO Info about the differences between them and which is a major UPGRADE (WM 6.5 to 6.5.x, Sense 1xxx to 2xxxx) and which is simply a better working "older" ROM.
I got my HD 2 now by the help of the geniousses here (You, Cookie, netripper, Moonah, netdrg, BsB, TX, metaldetector-lady and, and, and -and SKTools ) to work perfectly, smooth and without any fault but still would like some features like full rotational capab of Sense, which is provided by later ROMS. BUT WHICH ROM IS THIS ?
Maybe someone could add some infos ´bout that as a sticky thread ?? to decide wether to flash or not to flash when a new official ROM is issued by HTC, cause every ROM upgrade causes a hell of a work to make the HD2 work as smooth and flawless as before (I have now about 50 apps installed and configured to my needs).
Tx for Your understanding
I haven't upgraded to 2.13 TMO HD2 rom yet cuz 2.10 is tolerable for me so far. Just wondering for ppl who took the plunge to share you opinion whether it's worth it.
I see upside for 2.13 being integrated new Swype and less crashes. Downside being the loss of touch response, which may/may not be fixed by the stickied registry tweaks.
And seems like the only way to downgrade from 2.13 to 2.10 is to flash HSPL2/rom correct?
Don't Upgrade to 2.13!
this ROM is a mess..don't upgrade!

i would recommend it but you'll of course be reading some mixed reviews. the two issues that i have been dealing with this is a slightly worse battery drain and touch sensitivity has decreased too much for my own tastes. however, there appear to be .cab fixes for the latter which seem to help, especially in my case.

I was skeptical at first because of the slow touch drivers. If you install 2.13 as well as both of the zim cabs in the Touch Response thread it's great. No more crashes. I also have CHT 1.8.5 installed along with it. Very happy. Before you update your ROM to 2.13 do a hard reset on your 2.10 ROM first. Then update the ROM. Then do one more hard reset after you upgrade to 2.13. After that run zims touch response cab. Then do a soft reset. Then install zims screen orientation cab. Then do one more soft reset. After that you should be happy.
If not, someone made a ROM that is the stock 2.13 with the 2.10 touch drivers, but you have to downgrade your SPL and then install HSPL. This will allow you to install any ROM that people make here. If you ever need to take it into TMob for warranty, you'll have to flash the stock ROM back on it and change the SPL back to the one that shipped on your phone. I haven't attempted to do this yet because I'm happy with my HD2 now.
I hope to get the courage to hack this phone and start messing with custom ROMS, but for now I'm chillin.

Hehe, i'm surprised you haven't read how, it gets answered daily and has done for a few months.
In teh tmous rom dev section, find the sticky thread 'test and stock roms' - in there find and download the 2.10.0 rom.
Connect your phone to PC, run the 2.10.0 exe file,
done.

Ah, I see, I didn't look in the dev forums. I've been reading those threads, and right now I have 2.10.1 rom. If I back up the files now, flash 2.13.0, and want to come back - I flash 2.10.1 rom and I should be able to get back the way it was correct? I see that the SPL gets upgraded from 2.08 to 2.10 when I upgrade to 2.13.0, but the 2.10.1 may not downgrade the SPL (unless I use 2.10.0)? Would that effect whether my backup will work or not?
I just want to make sure I get it back in one piece in case 2.13 doesn't work out for me.
Thanks.

the 2.10.1 in that thread doesnt contain an spl, and is in fact a repack, so your pphone sees it as a cooked rom, which is why i pointed you at 2.10.0 instead.
(if a downloaded rom comes as an .exe file, it is a true official release, , if it comes as a zip with customruu and an nbh file, it is a repack, even if the contents are an official rom, teh phone still needs hspl to install it)
Use 2.10.0 to get rid of spl 2.10.0000 (which is the stock spl from rom 2.13)
When you want to go back completely to stock, run hspl1024, choose spl 2.08.0000 then run the 2.13 .exe file from your pc to reset the rom, the radio and the spl to stock.
EDIT with hspl3 released this downgrade is no longer required.

the first one increases sensitivity and the second one enables a hidden option in the settings menu to align the screen.
His touchscreen cab works very well and I used it for some time, but if you want it to be perfect, you will also have to use the 2.10 drivers. I have made a rom that uses the 2.10 drivers and also the touchscreen cab and together they work wonders . look in my signature for the link

I'd love to fix the scrolling issue more than the sensitivity issue....my sensitivity is pretty good "as is". Honestly, since I started with 2.13 I wouldn't know the difference anyway. I think I'd like increased sensitivity (that's what SHE said....LOL) but I'm afraid if I changed it that I couldn't go back.
Also, do I need to install the first .cab just to see if screen scrolling gets fixed and hope for the results I'm looking for or would there be a way to go back?

Use 2.10.0 to get rid of spl 2.10.0000 (which is the stock spl from rom 2.13)
When you want to go back completely to stock, run hspl1024, choose spl 2.08.0000 then run the 2.13 .exe file from your pc to reset the rom, the radio and the spl to stock.

Don't want to belabor the point, but I plan to backup what I have now on the stock 2.10.1 with SPB backup but I want to make sure I can get the phone back to what I had if it doesn't work out. So can I use 2.10 and the backup files from 2.10.1 then? what's the difference between these anyways?
Hi, I have been using Android basically since day one when I got this phone. I have been experiencing random restarts lately and think it could be a hardware issue. I already tried different Android ROMS and also tried using it from a clean state (no extra apps installed)...so it comes down to possible hardware/motherboard issue. I want to send it back to HTC for a replacement.
I ran HSPL3 and it's back to 2.10.0000 SPL now. I found an update for the T-Mobile US (1024) stock rom (3.14.531). I restored it back and everything looks ok now. The only thing I'm worried about is the radio version. I remember putting 2.15.50.14 on it and still see it. From what I see here, the radio should be 2.14.50.04 for this latest update.
My main question (just FYI for my knowledge) is shouldn't restoring the T-Mobile software restore the radio version also? It looks like I'll just have to flash the radio back myself.
The original specs I had were:
R 2.10.50.26
G 15.39.50.07U
D 2.13.90693 8G
I guess I don't need to worry about the 2nd and 3rd one right? Forgot exactly what they meant (read it somewhere) but the radio is what worries me.
Thanks.
No the radio will not change by replacing the rom, you need to choose the radio of your choice and flash it to the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
So should I flash the original radio back (2.10.50.26)? I read in one of the posts here that for the 3.14.531 ROM, it should have the 2.14.50.04 radio.
Haven't ran into any random restarts yet after I restored it back to the Windows Mobile ROM. Might have to go back to square one if it doesn't happen in Windows but only in Android.
Thanks.
You should flash Radio 2.15.50.14 and HSPL2.08 for your phone,in order to run android.Since,you have flashed your stock ROM,i think its best you start fresh from the beginning.Start with HSPL,then radio. Have you tried both SD and NAND builds? and did you use MAGLDR?. If you still experience boot cycles, you might want to try TASK 29. If you are launching Android from WM, you should want to flash a custom WM ROM that works well with Android.

I guess I don't need to worry about the 2nd and 3rd one right? Forgot exactly what they meant (read it somewhere) but the radio is what worries me.
Thanks.

Yes it sounds like you may have a hardware issue seeing as you have tried different Android NAND ROMs.
If you still see the 2.15.50.14 radio then it is still installed on your HD2. The question though is did the radio version with the stock ROM get upgraded to the 2.15.50.14 version from the 2.14.50.04 version.
To answer your question yes the radio version does get flashed when you flash a official stock ROM via RUU. The radio version that the ROM contains is the version that gets flased.
Thanks for providing the original specs on your HD2 as this lets people know what your original stock ROM was and the original radio and base band versions wee too. The R is the radio version, the G is your Base Band version, and the D is the ROM version.

No the radio will not change by replacing the rom, you need to choose the radio of your choice and flash it to the phone

Not true, if you flash a official stock Windows Mobile ROM via RUU (USB) it will change the radio version to the radio version included in the ROM. This is why TMOUS HD2s get bricked when you flash them with a international ROM. The radio versions in the international ROMs are not compatible with the TMOUS HD2.

So should I flash the original radio back (2.10.50.26)? I read in one of the posts here that for the 3.14.531 ROM, it should have the 2.14.50.04 radio.
Haven't ran into any random restarts yet after I restored it back to the Windows Mobile ROM. Might have to go back to square one if it doesn't happen in Windows but only in Android.
Thanks.

I would flash the radio version that is known to be the radio version included with the stock ROM. HTC will be looking for two things basically. One if the radio, base band, and ROM versions all match up, and two if you have SPL on the device and not HSPL. If either of these do not pass HTC will deny your claim.

You should flash Radio 2.15.50.14 and HSPL2.08 for your phone,in order to run android.Since,you have flashed your stock ROM,i think its best you start fresh from the beginning.Start with HSPL,then radio. Have you tried both SD and NAND builds? and did you use MAGLDR?. If you still experience boot cycles, you might want to try TASK 29. If you are launching Android from WM, you should want to flash a custom WM ROM that works well with Android.

I agree with member kawshigan, you should check and see if HSPL was removed and replaced with SPL by the stock ROM flash, check the bootloader screen to see if you still have it. If you did it via RUU than it did not. But if you flashed it via SD card then it did remove HSPL. Either way you have to have HSPL flashed to you HD2 to flash MAGLDR or cLK, you also have to have it to run a TASK 29. Once you are sure you have HSPL on your HD2 you I suggest youi run a Task 29, next flash the 2.15.50.14 radio, then flash MAGLDR or cLK (wich ever one you want to use), then flash Clockwork Mod Recovery, and then use Clockwork Mod Recovery to flash your ROM via .zip file on your SD card.
