Hi everyone,
my Manila version is 2.5.19211619.0 and rom version 1.66.421.1(76641) WWE - I'm in South Africa
I want to install Cookie home tab 2.0 but I see if you have my Manila version your phone doesn't rotates the screen so I want to update my Manila but do I need a new rom or what?
If so which one and link please
tx
I think your best bet is a new rom. You can edit manilla but im unsure how safe a manual update is, i actually doubt its possible.
Assuming this is your first rom flashing, please read into it, its not that hard, but if you dont know what your doing you can pretty much ruin your phone. (until you read into it and do it properly anyway)
Its kinda up to you which rom you end up installing (flashing), personally ive been on Artemis for like a year now (since v7) and really like it, but theres also alot to say for other roms. once again, its up to you, look at what you need, and if the rom your looking at has that (and a compatible manilla)
Also there should be a official rom available, go to the HTC website, choose 'Support', choose HD2 from the dropdown, Click the downloads tab, and get the topmost rom listed, it gives you instructions when you run the file you download.
Good luck!
the official HD2 site for South Africa gives me an older rom... I have flashed the phone a few times so I know how it works. Just don't know how to update the manila.
But I installed Android Gingerbread on it for now to test it so will see if I like it I'll keep it else I'll get a new manila version (Entire rom)

Hey guys, im really new to the whole flashing deal and i spent the whole night reading and messing around with my phone and out of all the ROM's i have tried the only one I really liked was the Touch-it interface. I currently have a Windows mobile 6.0 Touch-it interface that I downloaded somewhere from this site. I have been looking all over for a later version seeing that 6.0 is really old lol.
Anyway here is my current status
ROM version: 4.17.405.2 WWE
ROM date: 06/20/07 (like i said its a really old version =/ )
Please and thank you I will continue my search and see what can I find.
A new Touch-IT ROM hasn't been made in a long time.
What "Touch-it interface" are you refering to?

I see what you mean after more hours of searching i found more touch-it ROM's by itje and they seem to be outdated.
I know this is a silly question but which ROM do you use? I suppose one that you made your self am I right? If so which of your ROM's do you think would go best with a new user?
And I highly thank you for responding to my thread =]
I don't use my wing as my main device anymore, but it does run JustStable on it. (It's my newest ROM.) It's still a work in progress, I'm still releasing new builds all the time, but it's going to be final soon.
Hello
P.s. Is this the right thread i am posting i dont know....is this is a wrong thread and if i am not supposed to post here then i am sorry for my noobness.....
well, dought a diamond few days back....its a used piece that has no warrenty.....so i have been thinking of modding it with new rom and s/w.....well basically i am a noob in upgrading roms...but i have seen my friend do it a couple of times,felt its a no sweat process....and i wanna try my hand at it....
well basically i need a good rom....(i know i should have searched the forum for roms....but i need your valuable Wisdom in choosing the right rom cause if i choose a wrong one i might mess things up.....and no i am not Lazy)
well...i want a good rom....plz suggest me a few...i will now mention what i need in my phone....so plz..be patient
i need
Windows Mobile OS Rom(preferably The Latest 6.1 cause its the stable one around....i dont know about 6.5 is it any good..?)
can i have the cube application in the Diamond......it would look cool to use it...
Mobile Office,Pdf Reader,yahoo messenger,a nice all in one media player..(like vlc on pc platform....it plays everything i throw at it...i just love it..)
i would also like to have the Htc Touch Viva Blue Theme.....i dont Know what its called but i saw it on my friend phone and it was pleasent...
Hey, u know that your phone can brick, right?
You really should read a lot about flashing before doing it.
Start >here<
After that proceed here
If you read everything carefully and want to flash a new ROM be shure to
do it step by step as it's suggested.
And I guess you have read it quite often, but you have to find your own ROM.
Try some and then decide which to use. It's most satisfying^^
And yes, 6.1 is more stable than 6.5 for now so you should take a 6.1 ROM.
But have a look at these two ROMs. I have tryed them both besides many other and I used the A.Z.T.O.R. series for a long time -> very stable and really fast! Will use it again when X3 will be released I don't know if they fit all of your personal needs, but especially for some special theme or so on you should search the Thread you posted this request
A.Z.T.O.R.
udK Syrius
Good luck!
PS.: Please use a topic that contains some more information next time
oh dang i could only get to the first sentence because i have cdma
Thanks for the reply marcel .....i know that i am risking it...but hey...better to die than live a coward all my life ....i want to go thru this...
and okay nxt time i will name the thread more appealingly....
I would recommend two options. You can use Cloudy 1.1 with and without Manila. I have tried both. The WITH Manila has the TF3D with it which is very nice. However, my preference is WITHOUT Manila and then add SPB Mobile Shell 3.0. This is more user friendly.
Both options are very fast and with lots of free ram (more than 50Mb)...
I am not sure if these work with CDMA - please check first.
By the way, I think there is so much great help on these sites (and PPC Geeks) that you will always find a way to get your phone looking and feeling the way you like.
Good luck!
Oops...!!!
Sorry i forgot to mention..the Diamond i right now have was flashed earlier...so right now its having a custom rom by diamond project team....well i am looking for a move basic rom.....which is almost or most likely official rom...
if you want a official rom you can visit HTC.com and download the latest official rom that have been released. whether or not you can use the custom spl without doing any harm i have no idea about since i do not know anything about roms and flashing i just know that HTC has official roms on their site
I think u can download ROMs from HTC if u own an original-HTC device, right?
I wasn't able to download their ROMs because I bought my Diamond from a German reseller
-> Same phone, nearly the same look but an unsupported IMEI (?)
And again I can propose an A.Z.T.O.R. ROM^^
Alpha Zero Tweaked Official Roms = A.Z.T.O.R.
And as your phone was flashed before you should have no probs flashing a new ROM^^ So try some and then choose
The Whole Story!!!
Actually The Diamond i Right now have was bought off the gray market..it was actually a orange network locked phone...so the phone is right now unlocked,gray market product....
Okie....i will take a look at AZTOR..
Ahem...
Well i decided to go with this hardspl....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402 but i cannot seem to understand which radio file to choose....and Roms are Relatively not a big problem...i will try AZTOR OR Duttys..plz gimme a latest stable Radio file...

Hi guys
Received a sms message from T-mobile announcing the official release of ROM update. Check out the Tmobile HD2 site.
Edit:
Installed the update; found nothing new or exciting and now reverting back to Kumar's TMHD2 Touch Premium 2.9 WWE
For those who have flashed 2.08.HSPL to use unofficial ROMs, if you install the official release by USB your 2.08 HSPL will still be intact after the upgrade and you can go back to other ROMs with out any problem. That's what I did by reverting back to Kumar's ROM.

I am curious too about what it is for, it would be cool if it was Windows 7.
I am running Energy Rom, and Radio 2.15.50.14, so I am assuming updating would be a bad idea.
I just got the sms message too - I'm downloading it right now from the t-mobile website.
Figures - I just put a different ROM on my phone - yesterday! hahaha
i wonder why i didnt get a text, maybe because i was in android?
anyways how is it?

I got the text also. I am downloading it now. Is there anything different than the 3.14 ROM that was posted last a couple of weeks ago?

ya but there is versions for each of and i am confuse i dont know which one is better so if any one has any experience just feed me
Still no multitouch keyboard. Is this not possible with WM6.5? I just can't understand why, almost a year after initial release, HTC has not released a multitouch keyboard for WM6.5 on the HD2. Iphone and Android have had it forever, and it makes SUCH A BIG difference!

As so many forum members have said, perhaps for a million times, ROM preference is really an art of matching ones individual needs; I have been testing several ROMs, Energy, Kumar's, Omega etc. and currently find Kumar's ROM meeting my needs. To me Kumar's ROMs seem stable and do not have many programs that the chefs generally tend to add to their custom ROMs. I like my system to be as minimum and as stable as possible so that I can add and customize it as I want.
So the best thing is to try couple of Custom ROMs and see if you feel comfortable with the version of ROM you have installed.
Also, the latest version of ROM (both Official, Custom) are generally less buggy.
For those of us who do not want to go for the custom ROMs, I guess today's official release from T-mobile should be the one we should be upgrading to. T-mobile must have ironed out previous noted bugs in this new upgarde. For the brief moments that I played with the official new release; everything was smooth and working. But as I said earlier, I have now reverted back to Kumar's ROM.
It appears that today's 'Official" release is the same as the leaked release from a couple of weeks ago.
The size of the RUU_signed.nbh is exactly the same size. The date is different but I doubt that means anything significant.
I never got any text from tmo. :-(
after attempting the update, I get 7 vibrations in a row at the tmo boot screen and then it freezes. Anyone else have this issue?
Just installed, took like 3 mins and it runs ok, they added new icons: amazon Mp3, Myaccount, Shazam and T-Mobile Help... my account and t-help icons are useless they dont do anything, still testing, i saw some improvements like faster reading from memory, now when i insert the sd card with a bunch of images, videos and music it takes less time reading them, the only issue that i got was that im unable to run android cuz it gets a weird screen and it does nothing, but if i get some problem i'll post it ok? thx!
what does the update even do?

I just updated to 2.13 the other day, and I put a custom ROM on my phone that I really really like alot since my phone seems to respond better to this one with no small lag. I have a question though, if I update to 3.14 will I loose the ability to put the custom ROM back on the phone or is it safe to update and put the custom ROM back in?
hi,
I have stock ROM 2.13.531.1
i recently installed HSPL3 and radio 2.15.50.14
now my quuestion is will i be able to install the new ROM without any problem? i dont want to brick my phone. Also will i be able to install the same radio 2.15.50.14 after installing the new stock ROM.
Hopefully htc have fixed the sms bug coz everytime i get a new sms my whole phone freezes for like 5 sec. and its really killing me.
thanks guys
OK, thanks to everyone here I finally flashed my HD2 and I liked it a lot. I tried the Energy Rom and Core Cell Rom and they both worked great and have there advantages. But I have a new question now. I want to change my phone back to stock, which stock rom should I download? And is the installlation process the same as flashing the phone with a custom rom?
hmmm...
im assumin you have a tmous HD2. if so you can find the original tmobile rom on their website. just search for hd2 software update on the search portion. same as here, you can find it. just gotta look and not ask a question when you can find it yourself. also i think this question doesnt belong under this thread mayb under HD2 general..
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml thats helpful... use it to flash back..
ok, thanks for the help. but i have a question and something else as well. I clicked on the link and read over everything it says:
NOTE: The software update is only designed to update the ROM version from 2.10.531.1 and 2.13.531.1 to 3.14.531.1. If at any point the software was changed from 2.10.531.1 or 2.13.531.1 by flashing to unsupported software, sometimes called rooting or hacking, then we strongly recommend you do not perform this update, as it was not designed to update unsupported software.
It seems like their saying don't use this update if I flashed another rom besides the stock rom which it came with. So exactly what do I do from here? Not trying to sound slow or anything, but I want to becareful with these things. And besides I don't have a spare phone to use and would hate to brick this one up. Any help is appreciated.
I got my TMOUS HD2 yesterday and to go around customs, I asked if the seller could flash there nonbootable ROM, which I made (HTC Oboe XIP and no IMGFS to be sure it wouldn't boot ). When it arrived, I just flashed the 3.14 ROM without single errors and keeping HSPL2.
Do it, there won't be problems .
this thread came in time. today i got a message from tmobile indicating that there is a new update available. i wanna give it a shot and if i don't like it then I'm going to upgrade to the cell core v3 since i've been using v2 for a while
Hello,
Which is a good rom for Speed/Stability if anybody could reccomend me one, I find most of the custom ones are pretty much focused on Eye Candy and Attractive graphics.
I'm after something that is fast and stable, I guess I can just disable any themes if they come with them etc, as my current ROM (Factory ROM), is a bit buggy the transcriber when typing messages hangs sometimes (whole device freezes intermittently) and when writing on notes the device sometimes freezes, so i thought a custom ROM may somehow fix this and generally improve the speed of the device if anybody has made a custom rom focusing on speed and stability.
If anybody could recommend me a starting point i'd appreciate it as I don't want to go out flashing all of the ROMS out there but rather get an opinion on a good ROM to start off with.
Thanks.
that kind of behaviour is not normal for a stock rom. which exact one do you use (exact version and carrier)?
i personally use the official htc wwe rom 1.56 with the latest radio 1.17.25.09 and have none of the problems you described. but stock roms vary just as much as cooked roms. before this one, i used the very latest shipped rom, i believe it was the orange uk rom wwe 1.59 and it was far less stable, slower and had other integrated apps (and streaming media was missing).
since apparently you have used cooked roms before, have you performed a task 29 before flashing your current rom and are you certain to have performed at least one successful hard reset after flashing it?
MOD EDIT - Move to General forum. Please post all Q&A in General section
Ta
Rick
My details on the startup are :
R 1.09.25.14
G 52.49a.25.26u
D 1.18. 23358
I take it it's version 1.18?
Not sure which carrier it is but my Interface does have a "Starhub" Icon on it.
I don't konw what region my phone is originally from so will see what HTC websites i can download the official firmware from.
It actually freezes not just when using transcriber, it would do it anytime but more so when using transcriber or notes.
I want to install new rom in my phone. New rom would need to be wm6.5 and some older touchflo interface. Manila 2.5 is slow for my touchHD (I bought phone with cooked rom, but then I didnt know nothing about cooked roms).
What is most important to me is to have similar calendar as manila 2.5 calendar (or similar because windows calendar is painful to use with fingers).
So I want as speedy as it can be with wm6.5 touchflo combination.
Any propositions?
