Hey guys, so I'm attempting to flash a custom ROM for the first time on my hd2, let alone any phone. I've read through all of the guidelines, and have already installed HSPL on my phone. I'm planning on installing the newest available energy ROM, however, I notice that it's recommended that TMOUS users flash the radio rom to 2.07.50, though it's not necessary. First off, for those of you who have flashed it to 2.07.50, are there advantages? On my stock phone, the radio rom is showing as 2.10.531.1, which I'm not seeing anywhere else in this forum. If for some reason, I do want to revert my phone back to the essential stock form, including the radio ROM, would I be able to do that? If so, I guess I'd have to find the stock 2.10.531.1 radio rom too right? I'm also assuming that there is the TMOUS stock ROM available on this forum if I want to revert everything back to flash, correct? Sorry for all the questions, but as a first time flasher, I'm trying to be cautious!
Thanks!
2.10.531.1 is you os version (rom) not your radio
You're right, that was referring to the ROM itself, not the radio rom. In any case, do any of you still recommend flashing my radio rom from what it is now (2.08.50.08_2) to 2.07.50? And lastly, where would I find the stock ROM and stock radio ROM on this forum in case I wanted to revert my phone back to stock form? I'm guessing that once I have those stock ROMs, flashing from the energy ROM to the stock ROM would be the same exact process?
Hey all, I think I actually have it figured out now. Let me know if this sounds right to you. To go from a custom ROM to the original stock ROM (2.10.531.1) I would first download the "2.10.1 *no stock SPL" ROM from the stickied http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653. I am assuming that 2.10.1 is short for 2.10.531.1. After downloading 2.10.1 I would use customRUU.exe to flash back to the stock rom. To change my radio back to the stock 2.08.50.08_2, I would simply do the same by downloading the file, and again use customRUU.exe to go back to radio 2.08.50.08_2. Lastly, to get back to the original SPL, I would run HSPL2 and choose option SPL 2.08.0000 to revert back. After all of this, my phone would be back to bone stock, correct? I am just making sure that I've got it down before tampering with my beauty! Thanks guys.
P.S. - Anybody have an answer to my original post's question about downgrading my current radio to Energy's preferred 2.07.50? Is it worth it?

there is a thread is the beginning of the HD2 forum for radios...
Yeah, I saw the thread for radio roms too, but I am wanting to know specifically if people have any input on whether or not it's really worth it to change my stock radio rom to use with the energy ROM?

No need to change your radio. Keep the one you have. Flashing radios is by far more dangerous than flashing ROMs. Just make sure when you are flashing ROMs that it is compatible with the TMobile USA and you will be fine.
Thread closed. PM me if you need further assistance.
Hi guys!
I haven't been around for a while since I had non-HTC devices, yet, I just got me a US HD2 from T-Mobile. Does anybody know if I could flash it with a German (or unbranded official WWE ROM) without bricking the device? Or better: did somebody try this already successfully?
I just would like to get it up and running in my home language (and also get rid of the T-Mobile Start Animation). Back in time, I never had any issues flashing a US MDA version with European ROMs, yet, I know this has changed due hardware differencies.
Any input would be appreciated.
its not going to happen.
if you flash any non tmous based rom will cause the phone to to hang at boot.
if the rom you attempted to use also included a radio (example stock 1.66 wwe rom) then the included radio would brick your phone.
the best you can hope for is a tmous based rom with german language included.
go look carefully through the tmous rom development section.

Yeah, I learnt it the hard way.
I found the warning thread / posts afterwards. Thankfully, T-Mobile simply exchanged it for me.
Hello all,
i dont know if im in the right forum if not please excuse me.
I have some question about the 1.66.407.1 Rom and the 2.07.51.22_2 Radio.
I bought a HD2 with these Rom and Radio already installed on it, if i go to the HTC support site i only can download the 1.66 rom with 1.72 radio. Is there any way to get the combination above (1.66.407.1 and 2.07.51.22_2)? I want to try the white GTX theme but if anything goes wrong i cant flash back to default rom and radio.
I found a page which is offering:
RUU_Leo_HTC_GER_1.66.407.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
and
RUU_Leo_HTC_GER_1.66.407.1_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship.exe
but which do i need the CRC signed or not? And what does CRC signed mean?
Thanks in advice

The links you referred are for german Language. and to install any other Stock/Custom rom on your Hd2 you must have hspl2 installed on it first. check out for your choice of rom from many chef's available here. and flash it Simple using USB Sync process.
And if you want to go back to your stock rom . Then make a dump of your stock rom and flash it thru SD card. it will restore your hd2 OS back to the state as it comes from factory with original SPL.
for more information Search Forum.
Note: Installing Rom with Spl 2.10 or above( if any in future )Thru SD card will make your hd2 Lock to SPL 2.10 only. You Cannot Degrade SPL version. TRY ONLY USB. it is better and Good option to flash.
Hi just a quick question.
Is there any way i can run Andriod on my stock T-mobile UK
Rom - 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
Radio - 2.07.51.22_2
I tried to update to 3.14 but not able to as HTC site does not allow me to as it does not support my phone yet
I dont want to put a custom rom on.
Thank you in advance
Think that radio is too old to run android properly. If you are worried about warrenty, all you have to do is extract the .nbh file from the stock rom and rename it to leoimg.nbh, put that on to your SD card and reboot into the boot loader. This will wipe all custom HSPL rom and radio and put the stock rom back on to your phone.
I have tried tried it and confirm that it works. It will also re-instate your warrenty as well Go ahead and flash a custom rom you will be surprised at just how much better it is than the stock 1.72 rom you mentioned it is sooooo out of date
BTY suggest you look at duttys rom and also download radio 2.15 as well. Better reception and battery life
I'm running on stock Tmobile 1.72 all you need to do is upgrade your radio to above 2.08 but ending in .50
See upgrading your radio in this guide

Can anyone help me. I got an htc Elf not long ago and I've flashed it from wm6 to wm6.1 to wm6.5 and back to wm6.1 and now want it back to its original state. is there a rom outthere that's got the basic apps n stuff. can someone post a link n pics. I want a uk rom im on o2 let me know asap
There are many original roms, you'll find them reading the stickie from kokotas.
I looked at a very old post and found an original rom but not been able to download it. can u post a link to point me in right direction
Did you go to the first thread in this forum like i told you? There are the only links i know...
Origional ROM
Here it is http://www.4shared.com/file/7Vlr1WMm/HTC_Touch_WWE_ME_2204561B.htm
You can also download the original Elf ROM from HTC website http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-touch-gsm/downloads/ by Entering your device Serial No. Which can be found in the battery housing

Yes that's possible and you can Flash your device with original ROM If you have a custom ROM installed.
I did it several times, try it, there should be no issue.
it recently failed to Flash Origional ROM on my device but device still works and there is no issue with my current ROM.
I didn't got much time to figure it out though but i suspect its either because of HSPL 3.14 or connectivity issue with Synch on Windows 7, i will try to downgrade HSPL to 3.10 and try to Flash Origional ROM again.
Indeed it's Hspl that prevents overwriting spl from shipped roms (custom roms don't have spl). If you want to flash a shipped rom you need to remove Hspl and use Uspl.
