Hey everyone!!
Today I got my HD2
I saw a ROM update on the HTC site. It was posted on 02-02-2010.
When I enter my serial number it says the update is not for me (I'm sure I filled in the correct one).
Is this because my phone is from Vodafone (splash screen en shutdown screen show Vodafone logo)?
Is it possible to install this official ROM? (I don't mind to lose the Vodafone screens) How could I do this.
I want to keep my phone in dutch.
Let me know, I know you could help me!!!
has your phone already got an up to date rom? you can download official rom's in the leo rom development forum

Hi, yes, you are correct. You should get your rom upgrades from Vodafone.
However we all know how bad carriers are at releasing upgrades, so consider hspl2 and then you can flash the rom of your choice. (official or not)
But isn't it possible to get an official HTC rom?
At this moment I prefer to have an official rom on my new phone.
For an official Vodafone ROM update, ask them. The ROM on the HTC site is also official. Not for your phone tho.

no because your handset is branded to vodafone, the offical updates are for non branded phones
I had a same problem!
Just bought an HTC HD2, in hungary, but it has a "hungarian rom 1.48.479.1" on it, with SPL 1.42.0000
But, i cant upgrade any roms, my PN number last 3 number is 042, so this htc hd2 is came from a german vodafone. (htc . com says, no upgarde for this pdaphone yet)
Still have 2 years of warranty.
So is it possible, to get an 1.66 official rom on it, with hspl2? and if i need my warranty, can i "un/install" to 1.42 SPL to not lose my warranty? If is it possible, i will use hspl2 if i need my warranty, and i will use that german 1.66 rom that just came out (vodafone . de)
Answer pls, and yea, i know my english is sucks.

This all depends on if the stock TmoUK rom includes a radio rom that is sim locked really. Personally, i wouldn't update unless i knew there was something in the new rom that would fix a problem i was having.
i downloaded RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_1.72.110.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship Firmware

That will probably sim lock the phone if it came sim locked.
Search for and download Dutty's NBH Tool. Use it to extract the NBH into individual NB files and then rebuild the NBH file containing only the OS and SPLASH files.
If you do it correctly, you can flash the ROM safely to your phone without the risk of re-locking the SIM due to the radio and you won't need to worry about changing the SPL and re-locking that either.
thanks for the replay but i dont know how exactly i suppose to do that
the Rom RUU EXE file and dutty can open nbh

Why not just just flash the HTC 1.66 WWE ROM rather than the T-Mobile version (1.72)? It is the same but without the T-Mobile guff. That is what I have done with my T-MUK HD2.
I flashed mine with the 1.66 WWE rom to get shot of the T-Mobile stuff, and all is well. It did not remove the unlock. I tried a cooked rom and different radio rom a while back and that was fine also.
Hope this helps,
Chris.

you mean it is ok to flash RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_1.72.110.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship rom without any troubles.
err no he said that he flashed the generic 1.66 rom (which is sim unlocked anyway) and that was ok. what you have is the tmouk branded 1.72 rom that shipped on the phone. This also includes the radio rom that shipped with the phone THAT IS SIM LOCKED. If you flash the file you have without removing the radio rom from it you will effectively restore your phone to the as shipped state.
AND IT WILL BE SIM LOCKED AGAIN!!
Can someone please answer me if it is ok to flash that Rom . if not please provide me with the same rom but without the sim lock
How Can I remove the Radio rom form the official T-mobile rom it is RUU file
I extracted the NBH file and got 769.nb, 896.nb, 1552.nb, 1553.nb, 2336.nb , PrimarySplash.nb , SPL.nb and Windows.nb. which one of them should i remove and which one should i compine again in NBH to flash it . which one is the radio rom.

most cooked roms dont flash over the radio, but if youre really worried go into settings and write down youre current radio version so if you do flash another radio you can just download youre current one and reflash it.

flashing wont lock your phone, whether rom or radio, it wont re lock your phone.
when i got my phone it was sim-locked. and i flashed a cooked rom and want to go back to the official HTC T-mob Uk rom . i head in other thread that it will lock my phone again .
the rom i want to flash and afraid to lock my phone is ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 (T-Mobile) United Kingdom:1.72.110.4 .
is ok to that without any problems or locking my phone again
hey i recently purchased a tmobile branded htc leo the 1024leo for tmobile usa. I wanted to flash an official unbranded rom. Anyone know any that will work i downloaded RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
thinking it would work but after reading that not all roms work i realized this might not be compatible. So if anyone knows any unbranded roms that work tell me plzz. also any way can sim unlock the phone by flashing or using some software cuz im on att and i really wanna use this phone
there is no "official unbranded rom" for the tmo us HD2. You can download many different customized rom that is available such as the HD2.0 UnOff Series if you want unbranded. for unlocking please use search there is already a thread about that.
i don't know about that rom, but i always follow this rule when i download any roms:
PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS GUIDE BEFORE INSTALLING HARDSPL OR FLASHING A ROM/RADIO. IF YOU FLASH AN INCOMPATABLE ROM OR RADIO ON THE 1024LEO THEN THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE SO PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL!!
Not all ROMs are compatible with 1024LEO, including old official ROMS.
Official 1.42 and 1.66 WON'T WORK on LEO1024, because there is no 1024 NAND memory support.
All custom ROMs which ARE NOT BASED ON 2.08+ T-Mobile ROMs WON'T WORK ON 1024LEO.

and this is the rule for radio
IMPORTANT: Do not flash ANY Radio before 2.07.x or the 2.09.51.03 Radio or you could damage your phone!!

it was just an suggestion about the rom, and shawnamin should have read the "[TUT] Flashing your First GSM USA 1024LEO ONLY!! (For Noobs)" and that would have given the answers for flashing roms.

Heh, wise move.
Your tmous phone cannot take ANY official roms at all, except for the tmous official roms, or tmous compatible cooked roms. All other official roms contain a radio that will kill your phone permanently.
Moved as not ROM Development.
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
