hello there;
iam from Egypt, my cosin came from USA last week and got me an Unlocked HTC HD2.

my questions are:- [iam a newbie]
- Is there a ROM for Radio and another one for WM ?
- Does they both have Cooked versions ?
- Being Locked or Unlocked to a specific network, to which ROM does this relate ?
- Do i have to Flash both .. or as my needs ?
- How can i know my current ROM version ?
- How can i know if it is up to date ?
- When do i need to upgrade [Flash a new ROM] ?
- How can i know the most suitable cooked WM ROM and Radio ROM to flash instead of mine ?
- Will my phone stay unlocked .. OR will it become locked to T-Mobile again ?
please remember Iam living in EGYPT .. just if this relates to RADIO ROM

- Is there a ROM for Radio and another one for WM ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, the main rom is the wm portion, but the radio also comes in rom format for flashing purposes.
- Does they both have Cooked versions ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, the wm roms have cooked versions, the radio roms are normally just extracted from official roms.
- Being Locked or Unlocked to a specific network, to which ROM does this relate ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing roms does not impact on the locked/unlocked status of the phone.
- Do i have to Flash both .. or as my needs ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing the rom or radio is up to you. Depending on which rom you choose, some roms do require a specific radio version.
- How can i know my current ROM version ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I see you have gotten this information .
- How can i know if it is up to date ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to HTC.com and enter your serial number. As you got your device from the US, you will have to check up there as the devices are area bound wrt updates.
- When do i need to upgrade [Flash a new ROM] ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is up to you, there is no "must" update.
- How can i know the most suitable cooked WM ROM and Radio ROM to flash instead of mine ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A matter of personal preference. wrt radios, try a few different ones to see which one works best for you.
- Will my phone stay unlocked .. OR will it become locked to T-Mobile again ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As above, flashing does not affect the locking\unlocking, so it will remain unlocked.
please remember I am living in EGYPT .. just if this relates to RADIO ROM

Radios are area dependent, so try changing the radio to see if that helps.

just a warning..... it sound like you have a tmous, therefore you ned to be careful what you flash.
ONLY flash roms or radios from the following section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631
or from the htc tmous website.

spl 2.10.0000 can't be hspl'd, you'll need to downgrade your rom again so that you can get spl 2.08.0000.
Oh Oh
the newer version was laggy any way (responding very slowoly) ... and its touch senstivity is extremely bad
so i'll try to down Grade tomorrow after comming back from my eXam :S

umm ok did that but still reboots. have relocked it and unlocked it and again locked to 1.06 and installed the rom you gave me what gives???? what else can i do
The rom I gave you should have given you a 2.07 bootloader. If you have a 1.xx bootloader then that is your problem because it was made for pregps roms. And any rom with a radio newer than 3.xx is a gps rom. You need the stock 2.07 bootloader or the unlocked bootloader 2.4 or 2.47

Hmm. Well since that didn't make any changes i guess you have a hardware problem.
Would doing a hard reset at this point and bringing it back to OEM do any good? I had an Alltel Mogul that was stuck in a reboot loop and that seemed to work for me, but mine was not after I tried flashing, I bought mine that way with the hopes of fixing it and the hard reset fixed it and brought it back to OEM.
Hello ,,
I am getting HD2 next week from Germany ,,
& i want to know how to change its language to English ,
can i just download an official English Rom from HTC website & upgrade my phone without removing the protection ( i think flashing) ? & If i had to ,, How to flash it??? & please give me a link to download the official English Rom,,
Hope i'll find the answers in this website ,,
Thank you
If i remember correctly, when you attempt to download a ROM from HTC's webiste, in the support section, it requires the user to enter their serial number of their device to download a ROM which is specific to their region, otherwise it will not let you download another ROM from another region.
See this link, it lists official Leo (stock) ROM versions which you can flash to there is even an English ROM here (WWE = World Wide English), but in order to flash to a different ROM version in a different language, you will first need to unlock your phone. To unlock your phone, this requires you to hack your phone to unlock it's SPL version, which enables your device to be CID (Country ID) unlocked so therefore the need to hardspl to put other language on.
For more infomration on unlocking your phone, see this link.
After you unlock your phone you can flash to another stock ROM version.
Please note: If you decided that you wanted to flash to a custom ROM version instead of a Stock version, then make sure that you upgrade your Radio version first (link here), and then flash to a compatible custom ROM version.
Flashing order: Install HardSPL (to unlock your phone), then Radio version (if necessary), then ROM version.

to download the official english rom ,, & it worked & he said that i dont have to unlock the phone because it's official even if the phone is from germany ot another country ,,
so is it true??
& the rom from the link does it enclude upgrading the radio??
the link that u gave me 4 unlocking the phone , says that the SPL mus be 1.42 , what's gonna happen if it wasn't 1.42??
Sorry ,, but i am new in these things ,, so i don't have much informaton about it
AFAIK you can't install a ROM of another language/region without HardSPLing first. Read the flashing tutorials in the ROM development section/Wiki, all the details are there, clearly explained.

No, the link I posted above for flashing to ROM versions does not include the links for the latest Radio versions, I posted a seperate link for you above which details the the various Radio versions available.
I am using Radio version 2.07.50.27_2 and it works great.
Most of the custom ROMs available require you to have Radio version 2.07 or 2.08 installed prior to flashing the ROM, so try either of those, unless it is stated on a custom ROM download page to install a specific Radio version.
the link that u gave me 4 unlocking the phone , says that the SPL mus be 1.42 , what's gonna happen if it wasn't 1.42??

It simply won't work
To check your SPL version, power off your phone and then hold the Volume Down button and the power button simultanesously for about 3-5 seconds. You will enter Bootloader mode and a tri-coloured screen will appear. Check what is shows for SPL (it will be something like 1.42.0000. When you unlock your phone, it should show 1.42.HSPL instead).
Note: to exit Bootloader, take back cover off phone and remove battery for 3 seconds, then re-insert.
It is possible to downgrade to this SPL (if above 1.42.0000), by just flashing to an Official ROM with this SPL version.
Sorry ,, but i am new in these things ,, so i don't have much informaton about it

Don't worry, I was once in your shoes. You will figure it out, just read things carefully and ask questions before you attempt anything you are unsure of and you will be fine

I dont think it includes the Radio, just the ROM. That ROM shows it is compatible with Radio 2.06.51.07, so I think that may be your stock Radio version (resrart the phone and check waht it shows on the bootup screen in orange font)
To upgrade to a different Radio version other than Stock, yes you will need to unlock your phone.

I was just wondering if i can update the radio software/firmware on my phone to a newer one without having to install a newer rom and if i can what is the best version for use with O2-UK. Is there also a chance it may solve the sms not being recieved issue?
I currently have 2.07 radio installed (came installed on the phone from new) and i have seen mentions of 2.10 and 2.11 radio. I've also see in the last few days somone saying they use the taiwan radio for the uk to give better signal strangth. How does that work?
Yes, it can be done...dont know the tread but will see if I can find it!
Here you have the info...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4798017&postcount=1
OK cool and thanks cfds. Now next question, whats the best version of the radio to use for O2-UK?
Hello,
I have a question. In order to use that Custom RUU to flash a new radio do I have to install HSPL or I just use it without other modifications to my phone?
Thank you!
That's a good question actually, I hadn't thought of that.

You may have a look into the related Radio thread in the HD2 ROM Development section:

Installing:
For installing a RADIO ROM you need HardSPL installed to your device.
Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU: it won't hardreset your device.

Where did you get that radio from? I looked in the radio thread and the newest one i could see there was 2.10.50.08_2. Also did you install the newest rilphone.dll when you flashed your radio? That also begs the question what is the newest version of that file?

And it's true, the latest radio (in my case 2.10.50.08_2) works brilliantly with my O2 sim. Also, when you select a network (I use Energy's roms) Select O2 PrePay. Those are the correct settings

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669042 and no i never messed with rilphone.dll as i read it was best to leave that alone.
Thanks for the link. I've installed 1.42.hspl and the radio from the link provided so lets see what happens.
there are also 2.10.50.26_2 & 2.10.50.28_2 raidios all off them work ok on o2 but i have found 2.10.50.19_2 the best signal in my area of the uk.
this does seem to have improved my signal but if i walk round the corner from the flat to a mates house i couldn't get a 3G signal at all so we will see if this helps
Hi, I upgraded my phone to the latest stock ROM and my SPL from 1.14 changed to 1.54. Is this the way things work or I have done something wrong ?
AFAIK, it's all as it should be.
Now you can enter the world of USPL / HSPL and custom ROMs...
On Device Information it says that the rom version is 1.56.479.0, the radio is 1.13.25.24. Is this as is should be ?
If you have used RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.56.479.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe, then answer is yes...

Anyone happen to know where I can find the stock HD2 ROM for Telenor Norway? I'm having a hard time finding it
Phone is stuck on the HTC screen after trying to install magldr and its my understanding that I need the stock rom to get things going again. Is this the case or will a cooked rom work?
I am probably asking a redondent question here, sorry if I am. But is it not one on the HTC website?
Also I think you can find what you are looking for here.
Brilliant.. Thank you for the fast reply
You can find it from official website of HTC (HTC norway)

Sure its not simply waiting for you to flash the correct spl and radio? I.e 2.08.hspl and any ..50.. radio above 2.07.50.x
Until those two are flashed magldr wont start.
