hey guys, I have been reading these forums but I am still totally stuck..
I have a HTC TOUCH DUAL - no network branding whatsoever, details:
rom version - 1.31.710.12
rom date - 12/05/07
radio version - 1.58.21.23
Everytime I try to download the new WM6.1 ROM from the HTC website, it says that my serial number is INVALID. So I found a serial number someone posted on the forums for the WWE 6.1 ROM and typed it in...and it worked, I downloaded the ROM. But then when I connect my touch dual thru activesync and launch the ROM install program, it says that the ROM is not suitable for my device....
My touch dual was bought in Australia. It is definately a REAL one.
Also I am a complete noob when it comes to those "custom roms" for touch dual. Can anyone recommend me one to install??? Do i need to change the radio and uspl also?????
thanKS greatly for your help guys---!!!!!
oh yeah, I forgot to add...
on the device information it says NIKI100
moderator can u plz close this thread?
i have moved it to the "nike upgrading forum"
thanks

mark
well go to the HTC website... you'll be in for a surprise!!
i see theres an update to down,load but the serial number i have has lots of IO or is that 10's in it
also if i do the rom upgrade will i still need to install all the other updates or is this a fix-all?
Ive entered loads of combinations all seem to be invalid except one which states
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
???
It sounds like you got your phone from O2, Vodafone or T-Mobile rather than a 3rd party like Phones4U. This means that you can't just download and apply HTC updates.
Fear not - go to the Leo ROM development section on this forum, put HSPL on your phone and then load the latest ROM update from HTC (v1.66). This includes all the latest updates.
Use this UK serial number to download the ROM upgrade:
HT9AZNW00968
wow thanks for that...
only 2 days in and im flashing a rom... how l33t of me lolz.

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.

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
the name of the file of the Rom the i've downloaded from HTC website is
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship

& if it includes the Radio ,, I just have to unlock the phone?

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.

Hi guys, can just start by saying that these forums are an amazing wealth of information and advice. The hard work you guys have put in here has been of great help. Thank You.
So to a question which may or may not have been asked before, So apologise in advance if it has.
I have just purchased the HD2 from a trading newspaper in my area. I collected the phone from the guys home and it all looks fine and is fully operational (touch wood ) What worried me slightly was although the device looks like brand new (obviously well looked after)...But it came just the phone and a fake non htc charger...No Box or cables/manuals etc...
I am pretty much noob to everything to do with Flasing/Modding devices but wondered if there is a way of determining if the model i have got has already been modded.
The phone starts up with the 02 screen but it is unlocked and accepts my UK Orange sim. Just not sure if it has been infact flashed with any roms.
below is what is listed under Software Info
OS Ver: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila ver: 2.5.20121429.0
ROM ver: 1.72.206.3 (86372) WWE
ROM Date: 04/15/10
Radio Ver: 2.07.51.22_2
Sorry for the long post but am just curious as to whether i can attempt to flash without knowing if the phone is Stock rom or otherwise
Thanx for looking
ROM and radio look stock to me. Since it's an 02 phone (I'm assuming UK) however you won't be able to update to the newest ROM yet unless you goldcard like I did recently, as 02 have not released their version of the 3.14 ROM still.

Ye am in UK. The goldcard is something i had heard as an option but admit id have to research into that some more...I did manage one time to flash a rom onto an orange San Fran device but for the life of me cant remember how Am sure tho that few beers and many shots helped (Not reccomended in hindsight)
So if it seems to be Stock 02 by following instructions here im guessing i should be ok to use an android rom on the SD?
I dont knowif this makes a difference but it sort of helps to know that its an unmodded device im starting with, wot with not knowing the phones history and what if anything has already been done
Cheers
Hi
I've been waiting ages for the T-Mobile UK ROM upgrade for the HD2 but nothing has appeared on the HTC downloads page as yet, even though Vodaphone, Orange and the generic one seems to be available. I get the feeling that T-Mobile won't be releasing the update
Anyway, I've been looking thru the stickies on XDA-Dev and found a ROM update for branded T-Mobile called RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1 which I am now downloading
Is this an unofficial update? Or maybe a pre-release from T-Mobile?
More importantly, is this safe to install? My specs are:
Manila: 2.5.20121429.0
ROM: 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
ROM date: 04/02/10
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol: 15.32.50.07U
I've been hanging around confused on the XDA-Dev forums on and off for the last 6 months or so. I'm pretty apprehensive about installing anything ROM-based for fear of bricking my lovely HD2. I don't wanna get a new one as I'm not even halfway thru my 24-month contract!
Anyway, hope you can help. I hate sounding like such noob. I fix PCs for a living, but this is doing my head in!!
The RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1 is a leaked UK T-Mobile stock ROM.
Don't worry, this rom will not brake your device, I have uploaded these rom sins 2011-01-06 and in the meanwhile it was bean downloaded 293 times without anyone mentioned that thy have a problem.
Hey where to find the download link for T-Mobile Uk rom upgrade
Can you please guide me in this??
Many Thanks in Advance
