Hi,
can anyone help:
can I use HardSPL 3.XX even for Jade phone or what tool is suitable for Jade?
I am having ENG ROM and would like to go for new WWE one. I am not sure if I need to HardSPL it first or I can change new ROM just using RUU tool?
Thank you.
Hi, I would also like to get help regarding this

This is way to official WWE ROM from HTC.
Thanks pkoubek
That rom from HTC is for the Middle East only and I can't download it with my HK serial number
MORE IMPORTANT - have you found a HardSPL that works yet?

I entered my serial on the HTC site and could not download the rom update. Therefore I downloaded using another UK serial obtained from this site.
When installing the rom update, i get the following error
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
I have just looked on my phone and it shows the rom version to be 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE. This looks to me like a Danish one. God know why I would have a Danish rom but just wondering if anyone can help me make an upgrade bearing in mind I know absolutely zero Danish?
surely you should be able to do it by changing the spl?
I haven't got my HTC touch yet but its in the wiki on how to change it....
Thanks! I will have a look at changing the SPL when I get a chance later today. I spoke with HTC and they do not support my phone because it has been 'branded' by Orange. There's very little chance Orange will provide upgraded roms anytime in the next zillion years.
Anyone in a position to compare the new upgraded rom vs dutty's rom ? If Dutty one is still far superior, then I might as well just install that. My HTC HD is still a virgin when it comes to Roms
Hi, I just got my Touch HD today.
I wanted to upgrade the ROM to the latest official ROM from HTC website, so i went to the HTC website to try and download the ROM, it ask's for the serial number of the phone, which i then entered, and it say's, "This software is not supported for this device". I tried different locations, e.g. Middle East, Africa, Europe, USA, ASIA, and still didnt work.
So i would like to know if anyone knows which versions of the Official HTC ROM is compatible and where can i get it? Or what other options do i have to update the ROM.
Vodacom South Africa.
Thanks
It's probably not a good idea to put all that info for the public (google) to see
so I suggest you edit you post and remove it....
anyway check out the rom forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
especially the stickies as they'll tell you what to do
But in a nut shell your problem is probably because you didn't buy your HD from htc
Mine's from orange and I have the same problem
if you look in the forum you'll find instructions to upgrade your rom
I found

by cRaCKwHoRe an absolute godsend
Thanks for the info.
Ok i managed to figure it out
used HSPL 156 and flashed to Official HTC ROM 1.57 WWE
seems to be working fine.
Thanks to the people of the forum.
Do you see any benefit compared to your previous ROM? Any change in radio performance?
Hello everybody!
Since yesterday night there is the new HD2 ROM 1.72.162.0 available for Germany. I'd like to download and install it, but whenever i enter my SN i receive the message: "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
Does anybody have an idea why? As far as I know my HD2 is without a branding. At least I bought a phone without a provider branding and couldn't find any sings of a branding on it so far
If some more specific information on my HD2 are of any help:
HTC HD2 T8585
WM 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.66.407.1 (76641) GER
I would be grateful for your advices. Thanks a lot in advance.
As far as I know this ROM is for Vodafone branded devices only. Read about here: http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-hd2-rom-upgrade/81467-1-72-162-0-a.html
Thanks a lot I was a little bit worried I could have been sold a branded HD2
I contcated the Ger,am htc service via mail due to the same problem.
The answer was that tere is a technical problem iat the website htc is already working on. Vodafone was not mentioned. I´m looking forward to... who cares - htc does not ;-)
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.
