Hey Guys
I know this is a noob question, I have never flashed a rom, do I need to have the hardspl, or is there a shorter way to just use uspl. Can someone just inform me of the shortest way to flash a rom
I have never flashed HSPL myself, and flashed more than a dozen custom ROM using USPL. The procedure depends on what ROM you have on your device, what ROM you want to flash and if you have branded or WWE device, so read this wonderful guide, follow it step by step (if you have 1.19 ROM and want to flash 1.56 based ROM) and you should be alright.
Hi it seems I am still a little confused from reading the guide
My hd is from uk and it is branded orange. It has a 1.19 rom. So please someone tell me how to flash dutty rom wm 6.5 . All I want is the easyiest way to flash a customized rom dutty for wm 6.5, knowing my hd is a virgin phone that I never flashed a rom before
everything you need is in the Wiki & in crackwhores guide.
Read it all twice and once you think you understand, read it again!
Its really is much simpler than you think.
Basically you need to flash a stock 1.54 spl before you can flash dutty's ROM otherwise you will get the greenscreen issue!
But as i say, its all here, you just have to read it yourself.

Stock ROM you need to flash first!
If i get time, i might record a video of this process so that there is something visual for all the new guys to follow!
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.
Hi All,
I recently bought a US T-mobile HD2 1024LEO and here's the factory specs:
SPL-2.10.0000
OS 5.2.21892
Manila 2.5.20121412.2
Rom 2.13.531.1
Radio 2.10.50.26
Rom Size 1024MB
I would like to flash the official Chinese ROM I found in the XDA-China site:
xda-china.net/viewthread.php?tid=59333&extra=page%3D1%26amp;filter%3Dtype%26amp;typeid%3D1
It is: LEO/HD2_RUU_2.13_21905_CHS
How do I find out if this would work with 1024LEO? I tried running this RUU without installing HSPL2_1024. I went thru each step and when it came to the % completion page, it just stayed there, and nothing happened after that. I disconnected it, and restarted my HD2.
Do I need to downgrade my ROM first to 2.08, then flash HSPL2_1024, then flash this Chinese ROM? I want to make sure before I accidentally brick this new phone.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
512 or 1024LEO
My biggest concern is whether the ROMs, whether it be Chinese or other language, are specifically designed for 512MB or 1024MB ROM Size LEO's. Can you use it to flash both machines? Can you accidentally brick the phone because your phone is 1024 and the ROM was designed for 512?
Thank you.
Don't think you can flash that ROM to your T-Mobile US HD2. It might brick your phone. You are correct in assuming that 512 Leo ROMs will not work at all on 1024 versions. I do not know of any Chinese language based T-Mobile US ROMs, however that does not mean that none exist.
~Jasecloud4
you can't flash this rom....it's a 2.13 rom......most of 2.10 rom are safe to use.
I flashed 100 chinese rom to my TMUS LEO.....never bricked..
going on version number alone (2.13) you would assume you could flash it, however considering there are no other non tmous roms that work, it's almost certainly not worth the risk. PLus, you didnt say what radio version it comes with. Its the radios that kill tmous more than the roms, you should be really wary of flashing this rom in my opinion.
My HD2 now running official Chinese ROM 2.13
THIS IS A REVELATION!
I successfully flashed the Chinese ROM that I stated in my 1st post. After careful thinking and examining the official Chinese ROM, I decided to take the plunge and risk bricking my phone. Well, guess what? I was very happy to see the phone boot up and now the entire OS is in Chinese (simplified) language!
Here are the steps I did:
1. I downgraded my phone from OS 2.13 to 2.10 (using USB; no Sd card needed)
2. Installed HSPL2_1024
3. Flash HD2_RUU_2.13_21905_CHS
That's it!
This is my current specs now:
OS 5.2.21905 21905.5.0.93
Manila 2.5.20121225.0
ROM 2.13.531.1 90963 CHS
ROM Date 5/28/2010
Radio 2.08.50.08_2
Protocol 15.34.50.07U
good news.
Can anyone give a link to download HD2_RUU_2.13_21905_CHS ?
Thanks.

That's Simplified Chinese ROM, I'm looking for Traditional Chinese Rom.
It should be in CHT, not CHS.
Thanks for the effort though! It's almost impossible to find a Traditional Chinese WM6.5.5 Rom that is compatible with tmous HD2 : (

ahh well thats the version the OP gave in post 1. I think you will be waiting for someone to cook a custom job.
I really doubt htc/tmo will release it in a different language.

Why is it available in chinese simplified and not in Traditional? *puzzled*
I've installed the Asian font support .cab file, I'm looking for a programme that can allow me to change my regional setting to "Taiwan" so that I can get the Manila menu in traditional Chinese.
Please help!

I think if you just need Chinese, you dont need flash a new rom, download the Chinese language package is fine.

Does the Chinese language pack change the manila menu to Chinese?
is possible if someone can upload the file in other server..is a true PIA download from that server cause its longer xda china its a different server and ftp dont work either..so if anyone have it please upload to rapid or any other server
Curious, am I missing something, why would you need a Chinese rom?
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.
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
Hi
can we load our original rom (link given above by user) ?
as i think we cracked something to install custom rom
so will it be possible to load our OG rom without any problem ?

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.
