My missus has a HTC Touch 2 unlocked with a T-Mobile rom currently on it
Now im looking to either upgrade the current rom on it (via the HTC official site) or get her a newer rom off XDA developers, but im wondering and i know this might sounds like a stupid question, but if i flash the rom will it lock the phone again? as she is using it on Orange at the present time
thanks in advance

Hey, I am wondering if i will be able to flash updated roms which will be released by htc to the phone without the need to sim unlock it. Infact will any hotfix's or updates work on the locked o2 hd2?
Thanks
Hi all,
Im back after a very long time because.
I buyed after a very long time a htc touch hd...
well its not new, the guy were i buyed from used it for 1week and didn't liked the touchscreen. He told me he received it as a present for xmas and stuff like that.
Now is my Question: i want to flash my rom because its WM 6.1 and i heared alot of great things about WM 6.5 is that trough ?
Also if i flash my HTC TOUCH HD, will my simlock dissapear or something ?
Cause on my last phones it was, i flashed it and i needed to unlock it again and more headache.
Is it normal that the simlock will reactivate if its flashed to WM6.5 ??
If the htc still unlocked.
Which ROM you all will advice me ? i really prefer Dutch roms, but english roms are also oke.
and also tell me why, so i can get all the benefits of it
Im not a beginner in flashing of phones but flashing of HTC's i am.
I only did it once as far as i can remember and that was on a P3300 a very old model, So if there is also a little manual i will be very thankfull.
Thank you all,

Hi biggie89,
Yes, the good news is that there have been many advancements and improvements to the Windows Mobile OS in version 6.5, such as having a more finger friendly User Interface - providing you with a much neater and tidy user experience. Speed varies depending on which 6.5/6.5.x ROM you choose to install and you will be glad to know that both Dutch and English ROMs are available for download
The bad news is that if you flash your HD in it's current state (simlocked), then I am afraid that this is unlikely to work until you get your SIM unlocked as the simlock is controlled by the baseband. Data is stored there too and flashing the radio or ROM will not have any effect on the simlock. Therefore, I would advise you to have it unlocked before you begin the flashing process.
Here is a guide that you can read to make you more aware of how to flash a Touch HD ROM. Essentially, what you must do first is unlock your phone using either Hard-SPL or USPL.
You can also see this link as it details what the latest ROM builds offer in terms of stability and performance.
I think it would be a little unfair to say which ROM is best especiallly for the people who create these custom ROMs. Each ROM is different in their own little way i.e. one ROM might be fast but a little unstable, another may be stable but a little slow, etc... The best thing you can do is try out different ROMs (Dutch or English versions) yourself and try to discover which one meets your needs.
Note: when you get to the stage of downloading a ROM, to find a Dutch based ROM, simply look at the headings of the ROMs listed from this link. Dutch ROMs include the abbreviation NLD in their title [NLD = Netherlands], and English ROMs have WWE in the title [WWE = World Wide English].
I hope this helps you out.
Regards.
Mastoid is correct. Flashing to a new rom, even if you use hspl, will unfortunately not unlock the sim.
There are tools that can do that, but it is not free. You can try this one which seems to be popular and effective.
Hi all and thanks for your reply on my message..
My htc HD works now with my vodafone NL simcard so its not simlocked or something i think i wrote my question wrong..
Im scared if i FLash my rom that the unlocking of my device comes back, So i can't use my vodafone NL simcard with it.
Is that possible ??
the current state is unlocked or locked with vodafone i dont know for sure but you guys tell me that if i FLASH my rom now i still can use my vodafone NL simcard ???
if that is the way i will flash my rom in to a nice ROM that u guys told me to do..
the thing what i want to is..
USE my vodafone NL simcard with my htc touch HD like now but with a different ROM.
my htc touch HD is working great with WM 6.1 with a vodafone NL simcard.
so im still confused with the simcard if it will work.
do you guys think that it will work with WM6.5 ??

Flashing a rom does not affect the status of the simcard so it will still work. Just follow the Dummies Guide (link by Mastoid above) and you'll be fine

Hello All;
I'm new here and i have bought htc hd2 in French language from Orange France locked. and i have some questions;
1. If i do a hard spl and after try to istall a cooked rom or any original rom of another language like Italian for example, can i do? is possible? or maybe i will have difficulties with orange? because you remember it is locked.
2. If it is possible, doing this the phone can be free or unlocked? or there is any other procedure to unlock it? maybe to upgrade radio?
3. the last question; if a day i want to turn back to the original orange france rom can i backup it? and how?
thank you all. i'm new with this and don't want to brick it so i make this question to the specialists
Most of your questions can be answered <<HERE>> in this thread. Start by reading first post before posting...
Read <<HERE>> as well.
I can confirm that HardSPL installs and works on a HTC HD2 bought from Orange.
I flashed the radio to the latest (2.06) and I use a ROM based on 28014 (6.5.3, I think) but using SoftSPL.
I will reflash to a newer ROM this week, this time using HardSPL.
Did that procedure resulted in unlocked HD2?
Can you use SIM card from other networks/providers?

HD2 from french (Orange)
Hi everybody,
I bought my HTC HD2 few weeks ago from Orange in France. I am quite new in the field and don't know a lot of thing about ROM flashing. I have a naive question. I have a plan with ATT but with this HD2, I am not able to use ATT 3G only the EDGE. I read that it is normal. I just wondering if I flash into a new ROM this could modify somthing and let me use the ATT 3G network ?
Thank you very much to read me.

It should be said that you don't *need* to change the ROM if you just want to get it to work on O2 as SIM unlocking is usually separate from the ROM (one exception being the latest Orange ROM).
However, even if you do flash a new ROM, you will see get the T-Mobile G2 Touch splash screen when you boot up. To replace this, you need to replace your SPL with the S-OFF version which would then allow you to change the splash screen.

Hi,
Can anyone please help.
After recently damaging my HD2 beyond repair (uninsured), I have been given an HD mini to last me until my contract expires. Unfortunately it has some issues as, although unlocked, it still carries many of the branded restrictions. I have downloaded the HTC HD mini Rom upgrade but on trying to install I'm getting the error message of invalid vendor (O2). I presume I need to install HSPL before the phone will accept the Rom update. Can anyone please provide a link to HD mini HSPL, or offer any other help (The current spl version is: 1.10.0000)
Cheers..............Brian
Consult the company who issued you the phone. Ask them what version of ROM is allowed in this unit.
As I said, I have been loaned this phone that has been "unblocked" from O2, (the vendor) There's no point in contacting them as I am pretty damn sure they would only be interested in providing another O2 Rom if indeed they would offer any support. I just want to upgrade to the latest HTC Rom and need a little bit of extra help getting there. Any links to an HD mini Hard SPL please.
i got my HD mini from vodafone and it came 'unlocked' and ive upgraded to the latest rom from htc HTC ROM

Well, that helps!!!!
As I said, I HAVE downloaded and tried to flash the latest official HTC Rom upgrade,from the official HTC support site. It gets as far as the blue/red/green screen and then an error message "invalid vendor" (O2). I believe I just need to pre install a Hard SPL first but just need to know where to find the file!
Cheers........Brian
there is no Hard SPL yet for mini,afaik...
Cheers guys, looks like I've come to a dead end.
Thanks for your time and comments
Cheers....Brian
