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)

Depending on your spl version you need to load hspl1 and then flash the rom of your choice. This will work if the spl is 1.42.0000. If not you need to downgrade the rom to an earlier version of the Telsta rom 1.49.xx I think it is which has spl 1.42.0000. Do a little search as this has been explained hundreds of times already. Look at the last few pages in the HSPL thread and you'll get some guidance.
Can't help on the AT&T bit.

T-Mobile HD 2 Unlocked

new update HD2 t-mobile 2.10.531.1 to 2.13.531.1

Hi,
I bought a T-MOBILE HTC HD2 unlocked and use it with the chip carrier OI (in the city of Brasilia in Brazil), if I use the upgrade version 2.10.531.1 to 2.13.531.1 available on the T-Mobile, it can block my only device for use on T-Mobile, or continued unlocked for all carriers.
Software Information appliance:
the version
5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
manila version
2.5.20121412.1
rom version
2.10.531.1 (82076) wwe
rom date
02/22/10
radio version
2.08.50.08_2
Protocol version
13.54.50.07u
T-Mobile HD2 U. A. E. ROM with 1024 Mbytes
Bootloader:
PB 81 120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.0000 x 8g
microspira (led) 0x05
Microp (touch) 0x40
For now, for personal reasons, I would try upgrading to the newer version is available at T-Mobile, but I'm afraid to lock the device to the other providers (eg HI I use currently). This possibility exists or can I upgrade and the unit will continue unlocked for all operators?
I appreciate any help.
Including how to put a new ROM in Portuguese, that is, if one exists. How is the procedure?
Pardon me if I'm posting in the wrong place or am doing something that is not in accordance with the rules of the forum. If you please notify me so I will not repeat the mistake.
(Translated from PORTUGUESE TO ENGLISH BY GOOGLE)

i havent unlock and i dont want to lead u the wrong way but make sure your hd2 has hspl done allready and probably dont have to upgrade but the radio and u dont have to mess with the rom just my suggestion lol
sorry in advance u are allready hspl i think do ur research

it will be fine. changing the rom has no effect on sim/network lock.

Hi, I also have the t-Mobile HD2 & I unlocked it; but, I can't upgrade to T-Mobile's new ROM because it doesn't recognize my phone as a T-Mobile phone anymore. Is there a way around it in order to receive the new upgrade? The only thing I can think of is re-locking it to T-Mobile, upgrade, and then unlock it again. But that seems kinda crazy to me and where would I find the T-Mobile lock code. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

what does the red bit mean? do you mean when you enter your serial number into the t mobile website to get the update?
two things, firstly, thats very odd, normally when you unlock the network it has no effect on the rom lock. None at all. (Sure you are getting your serial correct? )
secondly, theres abound to be a mirror around here somewhere.

I have and unlocked Tmous HD2 that I mainly use in T-mobile network but when I travel to South America I use the phone with Movistar (Uruguay and Argentina sim cards). I updated the phone to 2.13 and it didn't lock the phone, the phone is still unlocked and the Movistar sim cards works just fine as they did before.
I hope this help you.

ok.
Okay folks, it worked, everything was right! Do not block my hd2! Many thanks to all.

buy a code or ask the operator who sold you it. there is no free unlocking.

Confused, What's the latest stock rom?

Currently I have the following installed:
ROM: 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
Radio: 2.06.51.07
UK unbranded HD2 on o2
Now, a while back I'm sure the HTC support section had a new upgrade. I downloaded it but never bothered to install.
That file is called:
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
Which seems to be the same as what I've got! Yet when i run that file it says:
PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.27.4.3 (is the 3.27 the rom or the version of the update utility?)
Additionaly the date on the HTC site of the update is 2010-01-25 which can't be the one i got before. I'm sure there is a 3. something rom.. ??? Have they taken the newer one down opr something?
Someone please, sort my brain out!! thanks!

3.14 is latest
go back to htc.com and look again at rom updates (support - pick hd2 in phone list - downloads)
The first one listed is an o2 specific update, but that wont work on yours because as you mentioned you actually have an unbranded hd2 (because o2 couldnt buy them and brand them quick enough for demand early 2010)

sorry to charge in here with what may seem a very daft question but how to tell if your hd2 is branded..or not. Do you mean the actual device casing is Unbranded (as is mine) but i still have the 02 splashscreen when the device boots up. Again sorry for my ignorance but is my splashscreen indicitive of my phone being o2 branded or is it (should be) printed to the casing of the phone?
thanx

it has the o2 splash so its almost certainly branded. its the rom thats branded not the casing, and by branded we mean you get your updates through your provider (or select the provider branded rom on the HTC website, to be more accurate). Your phone will only accept roms signed by your provider, unless you use sspl/hspl, and vice versa, an unbranded phone wont take provider roms.
Some providers dont brand them, virgin, i believe dont brand them.
Also called rom lock or rom locked, or provider locked.
to be sure, go HERE (assuming you're uk) and try download teh top entry using your real serial number. its a branded 3.14 o2 rom, so if it lets you, your phone is branded. if it doesnt let you, its not, and you should use the one pointed out above, the generic wwe.
just as extra info, before 3.14, if your phone was branded you got different versions, so a generic 1.66 rom was 1.72 for branded phones. Same rom, just with o2 junk.

I don't have any branding to the case OR the software, to be honest i don't think i could stand either.. I've always bought my contracts from carphonewarehouse and every phone they have supplied me with is unbranded.
Always on O2, all my previous Nokia handsets were the same.
Perhaps like the previous poster said i don't give them a chance to get their software on, i'm always straight off the mark with brand new releases

all yea thats why you use generic wwe roms. cpw sell unbranded phones, and sometimes lock them to a carrier, often dont. But either way, the phone would still use generic non branded roms. rom lock and carrier lock/sim lock are unconnected.

[Q] Unlocked phone + HTC rom update = locked phone?

OK, I bought a HD2 of ebay, locked to T-Mobile, I live in Gibraltar where we only have one network provider (Gibtel) so T-Mobile is no good to me. Took phone to some dodgy Spanish shop and after some dodgy Spanish speak (by me) got the phone unlocked so can use my Gibtel Sim.
Problems up to now:
Radio now doesnt work +
Nor does bluetooth.
I'm such a divvie I cant even reset the phone whilst holding down the volume button to see what SPL, if any, is on the phone.
Anyhow, question is, to try and get bluetooth and radio back, if i update the rom through official HTC website, using T-Mobiles rom (the only one it will let me download) will this lock the phone back onto T-Mobile?

NO it will not lock thier phone back to T-Mobile. Once it is sim unlocked it will always be sim unlocked no matter what ROM you flash to it.
Also at the OP it is a reason why the HTC site will omly let you download the T-Mobile ROM for your HD2. The TMOUS can not flash any other official ROM but the T-Mobile ROMs as the other ROMs may not have the right radipo versions. The TMOUS can not be flashed with any radio versions 2.04,50,xx, 2.-05.50.xx, or any x.xx.51.xx radio version as they will brick a TMOUS. Go here to learn everything you need to know and be aware of when flashing a TMOUS HD2 with a Windows Mobile ROM. Also if you get any ROMs for the TMOUS from "[ROM]Leo 1.5 T-MOBILE Test & Stock ROMS" .
Do not use the 2.01 ROM as it has a 2.05.50.11 radio and will kill your HD2.

No, it will not lock the phone. Any firmware updates do not deal with lock function.
But it is better to use custom firmware (I use BOYPPC version) and you can update your phone to the latest radio version independently from main firmware.

You are all fantastic and I want your babies. Did official update and now everything works and phone still unlocked
