[Q] How to find official rom for HD2 bought from ebay? - HD2 General

Hi XDA
Long time lurker, first time poster.... so my digitizer has given up and it time for a trip back to HTC. Problem is that when I tried to remove HSPL back to SPL, the rollback failed and printed this error: 00028002 NOT ALLOW. I have a feeling that it was because I installed WWE 1.48 stock ROM instead of 1.43.
Since that error message, the start up screen is stuck with a triangle and an exclamation mark in the middle. Sooo I tried to install 1.43 via SD card through the bootloader, but it won't as it is supposedly the wrong ROM. It displays 'Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again'. Though the upside is that the bootloader indicates it is back to SPL.
Anyway, is there a way to find the correct stock ROM for my HD2 through the serial code of something?
On a related note: I bought it from Ebay a few months ago from a local seller here in Australia, the invoice notes Hong Kong as its origin.

Go to HTC's website, support section, select HD2, ROM Update.
Select a ROM (either HTC or telecom branded), then you will be required to enter your phone's serial number. If you get an invalid message, then you are trying to download a ROM that is not allowed for your phone - try another one. If the phone is SIM Locked to an operator then that is most likely the ROM you need to download.

I hate to tell you this but if its from Hong Kong the likelihood is that youve been sold a fake/clone.
It may look like a HD2 and it may even have WM6.5 but it also may not actually be a HD2 (ie have the real hardware).

T-Mobile USA Upgrade (DIRECT LINK TO FILE INSIDE)

This is the URL at which you'll eventually end up after going through the T-mobile mumbo-jumbo (including providing your T-mobile phone number which you probably don't have.)
http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter/Software/RUU_CEv31440.exe
Just save the file to disk.
The radio rom is inside the device ROM and it installs it after you finish the upgrade.
I read your msg soon after I found a valid phone number
In the T-Mobile site, they say you need the T-Mobile SIM plugged in during the upgrade process.
Is it just to have the phone working or another stupid annoying lock?
Do I risk in upgrading my old rom having the phone unlocked without their sim?
Thanx

Spontaneous "No Service" message on M1000 despite

Hi all,
I've got an Orange SPV M1000, and have had it for around a week now with only a couple of problems. A quick Unlock and a ROM flash from the XDAII's latest image on the O2 site solved them all.
However yesterday at around 2pm, my phone simply stopped working as a phone! It was attached to my belt, so I don't know if there was anything on screen to signify this occurance, but now I can't get the bloody thing to work! I've tried flashing to 2003SE (Wrong country code despite xda2nbftool), and now an unaltered Orange image, but still no signal.
Is there an easy way to see if the previous owner has reported the phone stolen? Is there anything else I can try accept a ROM upgrade?
Thanks all.
Current ROM details:
1.66.00WWE
1.10.00
1337.18
1.66.230
The details in my signature were prior to this problem and worked fine.
Upgraded back to O2 software, details as in signature.
Still no luck.

Vodafone V1640 ROM error

Not being a pc/phone buff I wondered if any of you guys can help me?
I bought a Vodafone V1640 that had O2 software on it. Firstly is this ok? Should it have had Vodafone software on it? Second, I sold the phone on eBay beause it did not match my needs or critera and now the person that bought it is saying there is a ROM error showing and that I had originally bought a duff phone. This I cannot understand, as when I received the phone, I charged it and made sure that it was in perfect working ordered. This was over a peroid of about 2-3 hours and no error showed on the phone what so ever. It actually came sealed as if it had come straight from Vodafone as an upgrade maybe.
I cannot understand why this error messgae is now showing and upon asking an IT collegue at work he has suggested that this person had maybe tried to load new software on to the phone therefore the ROM error being apparent.
Does anyone have any idea why the phone may only now be showing this error? I can assure you all that I did nothing to the phone as it was only out of the box for a few hours before I decided that it wasn't for me.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.
:roll:
what error is showing.
i have a vodafone unit, but have flashed various roms without problems.
i am currently on the latest i-mate.

Hi Steve
Thanks for replying.
I've got no idea what kind of ROM error is showing on the item as it is no longer in my possession. I am trying to contact my eBay buyer to find out exactly what message is showing and when.
What exactly is a ROM error anyway? As I stated previously, the phone was on for btween 2-3 hours and showed no signs of soft/hard ware damage. How do Rom error's occur?
Sorry to sound so vague and amateurish!!
I am no expert and have only been playing with these things for 9 months, but the only time I have ever seen ROM error is when i have been trying to flash a different ROM to my device, e.g the imate version to my vodafone machine.
Ask him what he did, what the error says and what he can see on the screen.Read the guide to installing a ROM and you can see what happens.
ROMs for specific versions such as imate will not flash to others such as vodafone unless you use a specific .exe file (the no id upgrade one).
If you try you will get an error, and sometimes you can get the machine up and running, other times you get a brick which can take time to get back to life.

Please some body answer

I own a universal o2 xda exec purchased from uk. It has been working greatly for about 8 month (on another SIM provider) without any troubles.
Suddenly it receives no signal, the phone doesn't seem to see the SIM, I can't enen access the phone settings.
After performing a soft reset I checked the device information and found that radio version & protocol version are BLANCK noyhing is written, also the IMEI number doesn't exist, nothing is written.
I tried to install a new ROM but it didn't work, I got an error message about my ROM image that is not compatible with my country code!!!!!!
I've been advised to reinstall the WM5????
Please advise.
Sorry to hear that was it an eaby or simialr purchase?
if it is dodgy or needs rom/imei etc,tbh mate your on tricky ground sadly
as its hard to get help and people may assume its stolen etc ,even tho it seesm your the victim here
i hope im wrong and someone can highlight an easy remedy
maybe the radio stack has just encountered an issue
no it was purchased directly from uk.
and it was working just fine so why now?
no way to format & reinstall the original ROM?
tbh i dont know,but youll be hard pressed to find anywere to help without a imei,thats what i mean
Even tho it's not yourfault i think ,if you start messing with the imei ,its a poss jail term
so maybe people wont rush to aid you,hopefully someone with more expertise may be able to offer help
i just mentioned that due to the fact it may be why limited response to the post
i hope there is a simple and easy fix for you

did u try hard resetting the phone? try installing the rom with a RUU with no_ID
have a look on this page, this may give you additional info;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Can you briefly describe how you did the ROM reinstallation (names of the files you opened, source, etc.)? You shouldn't be seeing the country code error message with the NO_ID installer.
have a look on this link;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those with Country Code error
You mentioned something about a problem with the radio stack. I tryed to install a No_ID rom and the system stopped at the radio stack update step.
So is it a hardware that has to be changed or exactly what?
and what has the radio stack to do with the IMEI no not appearing.
Sorry for disturbance but I 'm seeking any help

[Q] HTC HD2 can't send SMS or call a number

Hello,
I live in The Netherlands, and my mobile operator is Tele2. I installed Android 2.3.7 on my HTC HD2, with Radio Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14.
But I can't send an SMS, or call a number, becasuse the network is not available. The network is also not available on Windows Mobile 6.5.
Which Radio ROM does work the best with Tele2 (The Netherlands). Or is there another solution for this problem?
Is HD2 network locked or have hardware issue ?
I would do clean install of generic WM6.5 from links in the HD2 Wiki .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2#Official_ROMs_.26_Radios
If get it working on that then move to another platform.
I flashed some Radio ROMS, but they all don't solve the problem. I already flashed the stock Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, and also that doesn't work.
Borrow a sim from someone and see if it works
I tried it with my own Tele2 SIM card, and with a Vodafone SIM card, both don't work.
Did you recently buy the phone?
Or is it your old phone which worked and when you tried android it stopped working?
I recently purchased the phone from someone. He said it was working. When I got the phone, I flashed a new Radio ROM and Windows Phone 7, and did not check if my SIM card was working with Windows Mobile and the original Radio ROM. Now, I flashed Windows Mobile 6.5, but it is not working. Also Android doesn't work. I tried most of the Radio ROMS.
@Mister B will know more than I about this, but I think it is locked to a specific carrier, eg O2
Just to be sure, is it EU model (white call & end call buttons) or tmous model (green and red)?
The phone has white call & end call buttons, so it is the EU model. The previous owner did not know if it was locked to a specific carrier, because his SIM card just worked with the phone. How can I get to know if it is locked to a specific carrier?
I would have thought flashing hspl would have done it, and you have already done that to get wp7 on it previously.
Not sure
I flashed 2.08.HSPL on the phone with HSPL4, to get Windows Phone 7 and Android running.
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28342560&highlight=carrier+locked#post28342560
in which Mister B mentions that the phone might be blocked due to an unpaid bill or stolen. Worth a read for you possibly.
Where did you get it from?
I don't think that's the case. I thought the problem was the Radio ROM, maybe I need to get a Radio ROM which works with Tele2 (Carrier)? If yes, I don't know which ROM.
I got the phone from a Dutch site where you can buy and sell things. And the previous owner used the phone with Vodafone.
Does the device actually know a sim is inserted or does it always show as no sim present ?
Showing as no sim present would be good indication of hardware problem.
If sim locked or blocked IMEI it will show sim present.
As such any of the main HD2 radios will be fine with your network & would allow full radio function if all else good.
I always fault find on original HD2 WM6.5 or a trusted WM6.5.x custom rom.
Dead sim reading is not that uncommon & can be mainboard issue or even the sim holder so worth looking at sim holder a little.
Most of the used HD2's sold online are faulty mainly due to amateur repairs so good chance that the case here.
There is a SIM inserted, because I need to enter a PIN code for the SIM. But I when I try to send an SMS, it says the network is not available. I get that message with Windows Mobile and with Android.
Does your sim work on another phone?
Yes, the SIM works on another phone.
I would say then it either network sim locked or IMEI blocked or radio hardware issue on mainboard.
Worth gong into phone settings & checking radio bands & try manual connection to varying networks.
Ideally want try all this on generic WM6.5 & reflash radio after rom flash (try radio n my signature)
You could also try an unlock by cable at local shop !
After that you stuck really ...
