HD2 Flash

Hi All
I have just flashed my HD2 for the first time useing
Leo 1.48 ROMs
New radio, SYS of 21869 (as far as I can tell, pretty much identical to the TEST 1.48 ROMs...)
WWE
ELL (Greek)
PTG
I am sure all went well with no problems, however I have noticed I am missing my HTC Contactes on the Home Scrren Tabs. I went to start & found HTC Messages / HTC Calendar / People / Music / Footprints / Peep. I am sure before the flash I had HTC Contacts?????
I have also tried to tidy the Start page up by creating folders and moving programs through Explorer which seems to work ok, However I created a Folder called HTC Programs and moved all the above into this folder all went ok. I rebooted the Device and when I head back into Start Menu the above programs have returned & also they are also located in the HTC Programs folder that I created. I have tried Cut & Paste with no luck.
I am sure its something I have done wrong, however any help would be great.
Thanks

Your fist problem.... Have you tried a Hard Reset After Flashing the ROM... And please confirm that whether it's a TEST Rom ??? If so you can leave it alone...
Second problem.... I also have this problem... so dont worry mate, it's seemed like that is the default option of the ROM....

Hi Thanks for the quick replay
I must admit I did not do a Hard Reset after flashing the Rom. Do you think its worth doing now & may sort this problem out with the HTC Contacts.
Also not sure if this is a Test Rom..... Whats the difference with the Test Roms to the one I may have installed

Ok.... It's better for you Hard Reset after each flash.... even twice ... If the problem still there you have to concern about download progress .. It's possible when you download and there are some thing make your file become "bad".... so you have a bad flash... You should re flash it or re- download.
Yes, there are much different between Test Rom and Official ROM... You better use the Official ROM... because it's the most stable for daily use. And if that was a Test Rom...so it's not full functional mate... If you are in Europe .. I recommend you flash back the Shipped ROM from WWE or EU... and wait for some days cause a new WWE ROM is coming soon though... so take your time... and cheers
TIP: When you flash a new ROM ... let take a look around all the function whether it works or there is still a bug, do not setting up everything cause it wastes your time... For safety, you should use the Official ROM from HTC... because it's reliable for your daily activities.
By the way... you should use Microsoft My Phone to back up your data. I know there are some applications can back up well but there will be the error to your device if the Core Function like (HTC SENSE) in latest ROM is the newer version compare to the previous. There will be somethings not compatible together... So let make your decision mate.... Happy Flashing

Wow thanks for the update and quick responce....Just one more question if you dont mind.
Where would I find the Official Rom from HTC as I have been to the Website and you can not download due to Serial Number or something like that. I am located in England if thats any help.
You have been off great help
Thanks

Ok... here is the rapidshare link for the HTC Official ROM 1.48.405.2 click here
And I also include the latest radio 2.07 as I Know it is a very good radio for HD2 atm ...After flash the ROM... quickly take out your battery and do a Hard Reset, then try to flash the RADIO ... it's also like the way you flash the ROM mate... then hard reset again and boot up the device Then take a look over the functions in the ROM... but it's shipped ROM.. so dont worry
Tip: you should remove your storage card while upgrading the ROM...

Thanks very much for all your help. At present Rapidshare is not allowing me to Download as no free slots. Ah well will keep on trying maybe it will let me in soon.
Thanks again for the update and information

Oh no..... it's weird.... mine work fine... everything work in order as the previous shipped ROMs... I think you should hard reset the phone... take out the SD card... and see how it works again...If this cant sorted it out maybe you need to reflash or re-download the ROM though....and hard reset 2 or 3 times after flash... Just hard reset and take out the battery and hard reset again.. just make sure everything "clean" after flashing new ROM...
Ok... I give you the official link on the htc home page , so you can download the real Official ROM just go there and insert the Serial here HT9AZNW00968 then download the WWE ROM....

1.66 ROM question

Hi all,
i have installed this new rom from htc site (and get a lot of unsolved problems with fpsece but this is another question).
But i don't understand a little thing....in this rom are included all the officials hotfix (sms---calendar---camera) or i must re-install them?
There is not a support manual on this rom so i really don't know.

Look at the update on teh HTC website, click 'download' and read the instalation instructions. If for example it says
Note: This update is only applicable to ROM version is equal to 1.60.XXX.X, or lower.
and yours is 1.66, , , have a guess?? No, it isn't needed.

Hotfixes are pre-applied up to the date of the ROM

Thank's you this i need to know

the latest sms patch is not included, but on the other hand, it cannot be installed either...
(there is however a cabfile somewhere to install it)

does it even need to be, I had the sms issues right up until the latest official ROM and that seemed to fix it completely for me.

Tmobile HD2 needs HTC updates or not?

Apologies if I didn't search enough, but I was wondering if the stock ROM that the TMobile US HD2 came with already had the hot fixes installed that are currently on the HTC website (i.e. camera fix, sms fix, calendar view, etc). Thanks in advance for your responses.

which tmo? the us one or the one everyone else has? if its the us, then no, everyone else, yes. (well, i think maybe germany has a new tmo rom out that has the fixes built in. more info needed to answer you)

So stock US Tmobile ROM has the fixes already part of it or I need to download them from the website?

No, you have rom 2.10, all the hotfixes on the site are for 1.66 or lower. If you select the update, and read the info on it, it tells you what rom versions it is for.

Thanks for your time!

Kind of confused ... I am guessing 2.10 has all the fixes included... it would not make sense to go back to 1.66

[Q] HTC HD2 Jumping to Kernel & init panel issues

Dear All,
i face the following issues.
1) if i use froyo stone clean build (Release date: 07.AUG.2010 GMT)
after i following all the instructions, i hang on the line "jumping to kernel"
>> a search on the forum, ask me to change ram addresses and cmd="ips****", but it doesnt help.
2) if i use the latest Parad0XUA_Experimental, it hangs on "init panel" then the screen fades to black.
I would be glad if someone could help me on this
Thank you
whizz

Sorry i cant help, but i have the exact same jumping to kernal problem and thats with any version of android ive tried. Ive got a box full of HD2's and no version of android will work on any of them. Do you need custom ROMS to run them?
Really hope someone can answer this, we cant be the only people to have this issue.

You certainly need to change the Radio to a .50, and it would appear that a custom ROM helps too.

I have tried all radio version (2.08 ~ 2.12) none of them work for all fullram version ...

Changing the ROM did it for me. I was using a .51 ROM...replaced it with 2.15.50 ROM..Now, its fine and I must say Darkstone ROM is quite stable and performance is good too..I am using it on a 2GB card..( my 8GB went bad..Waiting for a replacement.. ) and it still gives me amazing speed.

I have resolved the problem using only the latest version of official rom by HTC without HSPL or anything else

Release of Official T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1 )

Hi guys
Received a sms message from T-mobile announcing the official release of ROM update. Check out the Tmobile HD2 site.
Edit:
Installed the update; found nothing new or exciting and now reverting back to Kumar's TMHD2 Touch Premium 2.9 WWE
For those who have flashed 2.08.HSPL to use unofficial ROMs, if you install the official release by USB your 2.08 HSPL will still be intact after the upgrade and you can go back to other ROMs with out any problem. That's what I did by reverting back to Kumar's ROM.

I am curious too about what it is for, it would be cool if it was Windows 7.
I am running Energy Rom, and Radio 2.15.50.14, so I am assuming updating would be a bad idea.

I just got the sms message too - I'm downloading it right now from the t-mobile website.
Figures - I just put a different ROM on my phone - yesterday! hahaha

i wonder why i didnt get a text, maybe because i was in android?
anyways how is it?

download and try them both.. and then decide from there..

I got the text also. I am downloading it now. Is there anything different than the 3.14 ROM that was posted last a couple of weeks ago?

ya but there is versions for each of and i am confuse i dont know which one is better so if any one has any experience just feed me

Still no multitouch keyboard. Is this not possible with WM6.5? I just can't understand why, almost a year after initial release, HTC has not released a multitouch keyboard for WM6.5 on the HD2. Iphone and Android have had it forever, and it makes SUCH A BIG difference!

As so many forum members have said, perhaps for a million times, ROM preference is really an art of matching ones individual needs; I have been testing several ROMs, Energy, Kumar's, Omega etc. and currently find Kumar's ROM meeting my needs. To me Kumar's ROMs seem stable and do not have many programs that the chefs generally tend to add to their custom ROMs. I like my system to be as minimum and as stable as possible so that I can add and customize it as I want.
So the best thing is to try couple of Custom ROMs and see if you feel comfortable with the version of ROM you have installed.
Also, the latest version of ROM (both Official, Custom) are generally less buggy.
For those of us who do not want to go for the custom ROMs, I guess today's official release from T-mobile should be the one we should be upgrading to. T-mobile must have ironed out previous noted bugs in this new upgarde. For the brief moments that I played with the official new release; everything was smooth and working. But as I said earlier, I have now reverted back to Kumar's ROM.

It appears that today's 'Official" release is the same as the leaked release from a couple of weeks ago.
The size of the RUU_signed.nbh is exactly the same size. The date is different but I doubt that means anything significant.

I never got any text from tmo. :-(

after attempting the update, I get 7 vibrations in a row at the tmo boot screen and then it freezes. Anyone else have this issue?

Just installed, took like 3 mins and it runs ok, they added new icons: amazon Mp3, Myaccount, Shazam and T-Mobile Help... my account and t-help icons are useless they dont do anything, still testing, i saw some improvements like faster reading from memory, now when i insert the sd card with a bunch of images, videos and music it takes less time reading them, the only issue that i got was that im unable to run android cuz it gets a weird screen and it does nothing, but if i get some problem i'll post it ok? thx!

what does the update even do?

I just updated to 2.13 the other day, and I put a custom ROM on my phone that I really really like alot since my phone seems to respond better to this one with no small lag. I have a question though, if I update to 3.14 will I loose the ability to put the custom ROM back on the phone or is it safe to update and put the custom ROM back in?

hi,
I have stock ROM 2.13.531.1
i recently installed HSPL3 and radio 2.15.50.14
now my quuestion is will i be able to install the new ROM without any problem? i dont want to brick my phone. Also will i be able to install the same radio 2.15.50.14 after installing the new stock ROM.
Hopefully htc have fixed the sms bug coz everytime i get a new sms my whole phone freezes for like 5 sec. and its really killing me.
thanks guys
