I've been using the phone for about half a year without 3G or HSDPA because I was out of coverage area
recently they launched 3G in my area and it could be picked up in my old TouchCruise but not on TouchDiamond2
I tried swapping the SIM Card but still got same results, it worked on the old phone but not on this one.
I was wondering if there is anything I could do to get the 3G to work as I want to make vdo calls
Thanks,
Chan.
I have had the same problem since beginning and have it resolved last moth.
Basically it should be radio firmware issue. I've tried flashing all ROM available in the Radio ROM thread, but didn't help. Lastly I reflashed my TD2 with the latest stock ROM for my area (Asia) downloaded directly from HTC website. To my supprise - although Radio version was same as my previous one (got from Radio only thread) - 3G started working!!!
Now I reflashed the phone using OS only modded ROM but 3G still OK.
ok so I have to flash the original ROM (stock rom from the htc site)
to get the 3G to work
but I dont really like the stock roms (especially not the Thai one)
would I be able to flash something else on top of it later?
Sure you can, like I did.
If your phone is un-locked with HSPL - you cannot flash the stock ROM as per HTC guideline. You need to extract the downloaded one to get the ROM .nbh file and use it for flashing like with other customized ROM. Then later you can update you phone with any customized ROM with no Radio part inside.

I have XDA originally 02:
Radio version 4.21.00
Upgraded the ROM to T-Mobile 4.00.21 (made it in the Kitchen)
Then made a phone call all worked fine. Found the band switcher, obviously this is the USA ROM, curiousity made me press the 1900 band. Then no more radio after that, I reset it, and changed it back to European radio. Still no radio. Failing this I changed the ROM again to 4.00.05 ENG ppc2003 but still no radio. It says "No Signal" the SIM is still fine, works in my 'normal' phone. The ROM I cooked didn't include a Radio Ugrade, and since I changed the ROM once more, shouldn't this eliminate the problem of the Network Band??
I'm sure that I didn't do a RUU. So I'm lost here, how many times to I have to reburn the ROM? Which rom do I need to use to make it work again? Is my XDA toast??
Thanks for your help!! I really need it!!!
When that happened to me I had made the change inside window mobile and it stopped pretty-well everything. The following thread deals with changing the band inside the bootloader :

Ok, I just picked up this phone and am having major problems with the Radio reception.
Peoples phone calls either go straight into my voicemail, or I receive the call put reception is broken, I can hear a word or two every few seconds, and the other person cannot hear anything.
I'm on Rogers in Canada, anyone using this phone in Canada or on Rogers can advise which radio rom to use? I have flashed at least 6 already, even the Murata one and still no success... any help or suggestions would be great.
Just flashed the original back WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe and its a tiny bit better, where it doesnt go straight to voice mail, but reception is horrid still, inaudible.
try flashing radio 1.59.44.02... then hard reset see if that helps
Hi Lokosis,
Your signature does not give an idea of which ROM you are using. However how's the reception on your other phone (elfin)? Are you using it on the same network? Since you have already used 1.59.44.02; try going back to 1.60 ROM and a Murata Radio.
Hi 02xda2, well I'm using the PDAVIET Rom, which is 3.18.457.46, which I thought I had in my signature. The reception on my Elfin is 100% and have never had a problem, but when using the same sim card in the Polaris I'm having those major issues. The Polaris is CID/SIM unlocked already using Oli's HardSPL. I'll try flashing the 1.60 right now with the Murata and reply with results.

That's actually the first Radio I had installed, and had no luck at all with it.
UPDATE #1: Just tried the with PDAVIET V30 CE OS 5.2.20748 (Build 20748.1.4.0) along with the Murata 1.58.21.23 Radio, same problems as mentioned before. I'm also going through Settings>Phone>Band and changing it to GSM, but still the problems remain.. any suggestions?
UPDATE #2: I'v flashed the RUU_Polaris_HTC_RUS_1.25.411.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_polaris_murata_Ship.exe rom as suggested in another thread, and managed to get perfect sound received, and decent sent. Unfortunately I can't read Russian, so I managed to get the RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe which is the WWE counterpart to the RUS version, tried it with the stock Radio and no luck, flashed the Murato Radio onto the WWE and it was back to horrible.
UPDATE #3: So the only solution right now is the RUS rom, but I can't function with that as I don't read Russian. So running the HTC RUS update with radio, then flashing a new WWE rom without radio on top will work. Also atl4ntys's suggestions (below) most likely is worthy of a shot as well .
This phone being a bit aged and maybe out of warranty, how is HTC with their warranties/repairs?
hey Lokosis, have u tried c_shekhar's rom? its extremely stable, its wwe and also includes radio. u find the link in my signature. if the radio that comes with it doesn't do the job 4u then upgrade to the latest 1.58 available: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479306
If still bad signal then the only thing I can say is to falsh the original spl rom and radio and send it in for repair.
PS: Make sure u flash without the micro sd card in it and hard reset as soon as u see the config screen after u flash. good luck!
Hi,
I got my brothers Touch HD which ive in the past flashed endless times for him with various 6.5 roms, decided to flash it back to a stock rom to give to the wife as a temporary upgrade, it appears that the wifi is borked, i think its probably due to the change in the radio as it was 1.17 or whatever, any ideas if i can get it back, i did flash it with a generic htc 6.1 rom rather than the orange one (downloading that now) which had a 1.13 radio i think

Did you also install the matching rillphone.dll?
You can always go back to radio 1.17 (with rillphone 1.14), because radio and rom aren't related.

Hi,
Look's like I made problem at start, I have Spanish vodafone version of Mini and I wanted to change language to English and I made mistake, I flashed factory radio with official (you can see that on htc web page) radio rom, but I didn't see this radio is for every version except this one I have. Is there any solution to downgrade-change radio to some working one again with SSPL_mini without HSPL?
Now I don't have GSM signal on phone at all, wifi is ok. Or is there any other radio rom to download because I can't find any.

Just flash your device to a stock ROM with a correct radio via SSPL I think that would help

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
