I downloaded and installed that ROM - It's 1.14 not 1.19!!
Where do these get released? Or haven't they been released?
I'm intrigued to find where the latest HTC Firmware will appear if Orange get round to messing with it.
That is why you are here -----
It is due to the fact that carriers don't upgrade and want you to run out of contract and buy a new toy (thus with a new rom).
This is why we cook roms (off the new toys for old boys).
I have yet to see an offical GER (german rom) come out from my or any other carrier including HTC (who are not carriers).
Now after saying all that wiki does have a orange ship.exe
Still unsure about flashing the ROM
Hi,
So the ROM supplied in the above links will upgrade the Orange ROM and keep all the horrible things that Orange have done to the handset to cripple it.
I only ask as my phone is company supplied and I do not want to screw up the handset.
My ROM is 1.19.61.1 WWE and the operator version is 34.119.1.611.
Forgive my ignorance about these matters
Chris
it´s very simple: if you like to keep your device at it is, there´s no need to flash another rom. if you like to get rid of that orange rom and take part of the better ones install one of the very good rom available here.

I also want to get rid of my Orange ROM. I have read the wikis and am confident enough to be able to do it. One thing I am unsure about is, the ROM I would like to try is Panosha`s Black Pearl but as I understand it, it is based on a 1.56 ROM. and my ROM is 1.19.61.1. I can get USPL onto my TouchHD but am unsure as whether I can flash Panosha`s ROM onto my device without first flashing a 1.56 ROM. I`ve searched the Orange website and at the moment there is no 1.56 ROM.
If you are going to flash a cooked rom, then why panic about flashing the stock 1.54/1.56 roms first.
I`m not panicking, just unsure about whether I have to. I`m sure I read in the wikis that I need a 1.56 ROM on my device to flash a 1.56 based cooked ROM. Can`t find this statement any more so maybe I imagined it.
Just noticed a statement on Panosha`s ROM page which says "First flash 1.56.xxxx ROM"

Yup, you need the 1.54 SPL version from Stock first which comes with the 1.56 ROM.
Read the tutorial for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Then any issues just ask in that thread, loads of people will help... its what we're here for
Thanks mate, I thought so. I went ahead and did it but I now have the green screen issue so I`ve obviously not done it right. Just need to read up now how to fix it. I flashed USPL 2.5 first and then one of Duttys 1.56 ROMS which all went on fine until it rebooted. Maybe I`m not understanding the flash process as much as I thought.
Check your SPL version by turning off the phone, holding down the volume button and pressing power once. It should go to the tri colour screen and say SPL- 1.56, if it doesn't it answers why your phone has gone green screen. The SPL and the ROM numbers need to match.
It's quite simple to solve, don't worry, your phone isn't bricked.
You just need to run hard SPL 1.54 which you can find on this forum. run it via PC whilst in activesync with your phone and it will do the rest. Let us know if you still have problems after this.
Thanks. I have spl 1.14. I knew I hadn`t bricked it, just caused the green screen problem because of my own stupidity not fully understanding the procedure. The ROM is showing as 1.56Dutty, do I have to flash Hardspl 1.56 or the older one. Also does the phone have to be unlocked. I thought I had all this cracked but it just gets more & more complicated the more I try and correct my **** up.
This may seem like a silly question..but .. if I install a cooked Rom
Will my connection setting for Orange as my service provider be retained?
Thanks
yes. its detected automatically after you flashed the ROM. if you hard reset (which you ought to do) then youll just go through the customisation process where you confirm that your service provider is orange.
I'm obviously a newbie
Thanks - I was bricking myself anout this.

you already have the latest Orange ROM
I thought I was ready to go before I came accross this thread and it's left me hesitant.
I too have an Orange branded phone. SPL 1.14 ROM 1.19.61.1 WWE.
I thought that all I needed to do was:
a) update windows 7 USB driver so I can sync from the tri-colour screen.
b) run HSPL 1.56.OliNex
c) flash a new 1.56 ROM
edit: Do I need to update to stock SPL 1.54 before step b?
As davemazo says, does it need to be Orange unlocked to do this? dgattenb saying he can't flash the 1.54 HSPL onto the phone has put this on hold.
Cheers,

Bit outdated mate. Dated 7th April 2009. Looks most likely like version 1.56 which has been incorporated into a lot of WM6.1 roms. However newer releases including 1.57 & 1.59 have been released. Latest cooked roms already include either 1.57 or 1.59
Shipped roms can be found in wiki here mate
not in date ?

If your phone if orange branded then this is the reason why HTC says the firmware update is not for your phone.

My new Touch HD came last week with this ROM on it - it's on T-Mobile but SIM unlocked. very stable, no major problems other than the fact I could do with a better radio support since the T-Mobile coverage where I am is lousy, but the Touch is still worse than my SonyEricsson W950i.
Will 1.57 or 1.59 ROMs help on the radio side ?

Im asking orange now for more infomation
Please let us know how Orange responds. I too would like to try a new ROM update on my Orange TOuch HD.
Jack
I just changed the title to refelct the subject mater better.
You are facing the same problem as most of us which is why this site is loved so much.
In my case I have 1.14 German rom sold by sunrise.
My S/N also does not work on the 1.56 shipped roms from HTC.
They will also not sell me a WWE version of Blackstone.
So the only choice I have is to USPL / HSPL the device and get myself either a cooked or shiiped rom.
Now I am lucky as the branding of the device (flash screen, ect) is on no intrest to me, on top of that Sunrise gives me no add on Cabs that I need or even want.
My aprroaching sunrise has got me no were.
My hope is that you might get somewere and that we might beable to get a shipped rom that we can add to our collection.
Good luck
slightly off topic, but what is the difference between the WWE and European versions of the ROM available on the Wiki ? I'm currently on WWE 1.56 (T-Mobile UK) and have upgraded the radio from 1.13 to 1.14 without any effect. Wondering if the Europe version is any different, also wondering if it would help any of you locked onto Orange ?
no responce from orange
No responce from orange yet , will keep you guys upto date , chnaging the radio wont work on the Orange ROM , in the forum there are loads of folk who have kiled there phone and had to go back to " factory " settings .
I have written a letter of complaint to orange as they have said that there are no plans to release any updated ROM versions in the future. I await a call from orange complaints department. Im not expecting anything. If you put a non-orange ROM on your phone then you void your warranty. Great service me thinks not!
This is the latest rom from orange. check this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517803
still nothign
still nothing from orange, I cant see wht orange wont " upgrade " the rom , even HTC this fixes certain problems... I will ask them again and get back to you ..
This reminds me so much of a past experience I had with a phone network company. Yes it maybe Orange!!!
Same thing as you I wrote and wrote. In the end I got so fed up I upgraded with a custom rom that suited my needs. I DID however take note that by doing a custom rom/radio upgrade screwed the warrenty...HOWEVER I read on xda dev many threads on backing up the original rom along (and more importantly) HOW TO downgrade back incase the phone needed replacing via the Networks Warrenty.
Orange IMHO are the best network out there for many reasons. But I guess they are of the opinion, that as the rom that come with it works without too many customers complaining, then they won't and need not offer an update.
For the record. I updated to Miri v12 and have followed this rom genious for months. My Blackstone runs like a bullet from a gun, and is as reliable as I want. Everything works on it and I now know exactly HOW to downgrade the phone should it happen to go wrong and need to be shipped back to Orange for replacement....or repair.
Read....read and read some more...and you'll end up loving you Blackstone more than you would have.
I have just spoken to customer support. They are now saying that the first year of warranty is with HTC and that in her opinion they would not void the warranty if you install the official rom, even though HTC say the ROM upgrade is not compatible !?!
Yea I am having exactly the same problem, I did try two updated roms from the wiki, The WWE 1.59 and the EU 1.59 both worked as far as resetting my phone got to 1% and then came up on the PC screen to say it was not supported by my provider? Would I be able to use one of these roms and flash it using another method? I have seen a few other methods of doing it?
Also would it be benificial to just use a cooked rom if I can't get one from Orange? Would I still be able to connect into their network afterwards or would I need to input a whole lot of settings?

may be worth checking my posts at the end of the "Dummys guide...." in the ROM section and adding your voice
Cool thanks will do
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze....I am desperately in need of a Orange France original Rom, as i need to return the phone to orange and i need to get the HSPL off it and the regular one on.
If i put on a non orange France rom, ie. the shipped WWE one, or the French one, from HTC, they will know that i had to use a HSPL in order to overwrite the Orange rom.
Many thanks

Orange LEO - Original ROM
You can find it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/357315236/ROM_Leo_Orange.rar
I didn't test it as i use TMOUS 2.10 and I'm good with it.
Thank you so much, i am downloading it now.
Just in case anyone does a search on Orange France HD2, be careful. I have two of them, bought just before christmas, and both are defective and need to be returned to Orange. If you have a defective one, it will start powering itself off for no reason whatsoever. The problem will get more frequent, until it stops powering up or accepting power completely. If you have a cooked rom on it, you will need to restore the original spl AND Rom while you still can, and before it goes wrong, or you will not be able to power it up to revert to the original ones.
As i said this has happened to 2 phones, one after about a month and the second one after 2 months...both have the same rom and HSPL as you can see from my signature.
By the way, i also have one that came from O2 in the UK (Jan delivery)...no problems with that yet...fingers crossed!
you find it in the forum htc hd french.if it's wrong I have a true one complete.send me an help
Thanks for the kind offer
Hi Rayman...you said: you find it in the forum htc hd french.if it's wrong I have a true one complete.send me an help"
Someone has very kindly posted a link to a copy of the Rom ( above) and am about to test it...fingers crossed!...Thank you so much for the offer though...I will let you know if it does not work!
The Franch France Orange official Rom is on this link and has apparently been tested by another member,,,I am about to try it!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BC4FGYH4
Ok...this is the follow up....The Rom worked and is the French Orange one, only problem is it has not changed the HSPL back to the original SPL?
I am asking for help on this in another thread, and will report back when i get somewhere.
If anyone else has any bright ideas i would be more than happy to hear them!

Hi!
Before all, you need to flash an official HTC ROM that contains the SPL 1.42 (like the version 1.43.406.2) from SDCARD.
Just put into the SD card the RUU_signed.nbh extracted from this shipped rom, renamed into leoimg.nbh. Then boot + volume down.
It will flash it and change your HSPL back to 1.42.
After that, you can flash the Orange one with SSPL method.
I hope someone will confirm this
P.S. : I uploaded the LEOIMG.nbh file I extracted from the official HTC ROM 1.43.406.2 French.
You can find it here (it's a ZIP archive) : megaupload.com/?d=HRHGOJHC

Thanks Ruth
I am downloading your image now...Thank you so much, as my serial did not work on the HTC site.
Also what is the "SSPL method", is that with the Gold card, because if it is, gold card method is no longer available.
Of course i will post how i get on with this, once i get the necessary rom and have loaded everything. I am sure this will be very useful to lots of people on here, because it is sounding like quite a few people are having manufacturer problems with their phones.
Do you think Orange France would be able to complain if the phone was returned with an official rom on it? I would have thought as long as it is an official rom and not a hacked rom, it does not matter if it is HTC or Orange's rom.
Another member is looking for a list of serials which i will also post up here when i get them, so it will make it easier to download the official roms.
Many thanks again for your kind advice.

1) SSPL allows you to flash cooked ROMS (so the Orange one too) without SPL and Radio, so only the Operating System is flashed.
You can get the tool here, with a nice tutorial : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606713
2) It seems that Orange France is not as ...blind... as others french mobile providers. I think it's much better to return the phone with the original Orange rom.
Hi all, I have been having many problems with my HTC HD2 which i got with the o2 UK network. So I tried to upgrade it to 1.6 Rom (unofficial o2 update) which i thought may fix alot of the problems which it has not. So I have to return it back to O2 now, so how do I change it back to the 1.4 Rom that this phone came with? Oh yes if you have not guessed im not techy at all, so please explain in very simple language, thanks!
hd2 rom development section, Leo official roms thread, first post first link, 1.43 folder, download one of the two roms that says O2 UK (theyre both the same, of one doesnt work try the other)
connect phone to pc, when connected, run the O2 Uk .exe file, , , this will reset the rom and radio to stock.
Next, run HSPL2 (download if you havent already got it, theres a link im my sig) and in the dropdown list, choose 1.42.0000 OK,
job done. The phone is now stock.
hello can anyone send me to the link of htc buzz eclair 2.1 ruu cuz i dont understand all the numbers on shipped rom i want to put back my htc buzz to stock and rooted again cuz i found it a lil bit slow so thanks anyway for the help send this way
If your Wildfire is unbranded and you use English, you can get any WWE RUU.
Example:
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
but how do i know wich one is the 2.1? im on claro (puerto rico)
All RUU's starting with 1.x (eg: It is 1.37 in the file I linked above) are Eclair RUU's. And the ones starting with 2.x (eg: RUU 2.22.405.1) are Froyo RUU's.
thanx budd
