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.

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...

ROM FLASHING GUIDE
Well lately i have noticed a lot of first timers have joined this community with Wildfire.. We affectionately call them noobs .. SO here is my guide to flashing rom right now its very simple anyone can do it without this guide but for all the first timers who are feeling uneasy or unusual I hope this will help.
Note::WILDFIRE is now completely rooted GO HERE and follow the instructions to root your phone.
In Case you need MORE ROOTING INSTRUCTIONS JUST CLICK.
UPDATE:: If you have already rooted your phone or planning to root it you can get the CUSTOM ROMs Wildpuzzle here
Vibes v1.1 One Stable and one under trial ROM. You can contribute by testing the new ones. thanks.
IMPORTANT:: If you are planning to install a custom rom leave this guide Now without following the steps below and follow the Rom flashing instructions at the Custom Rom Page.
Update :: Flashing ROMS with Goldcard ?? Well HERE IS THE COMPLETE GUIDE INLUDING:
1>How to create Goldcard?
2>How to flash roms with goldcard?
STEP 1 > Go to www.shipped-roms.com and download the rom relevant to your area which you want to flash. Mind this a Uk rom cant be flashed on a phone with Indian Rom i.e Rom from different areas can not be swapped until unless it is rooted make sure to download ROM from your region.
Edit 1: In case you have already rooted your phone and want to get adventurous you can download custom ROMs or Any ROM for your device you can flash any (Wildfire)ROM.
STEP 2 Download HTC Sync™ 3.0.5387 if you dont already have it. Just enter the serial no. which can be found on wildfire Box box and install it on the PC/Laptop you want to sync your phone data with.
STEP 3 After installation connect your PC and Phone with provided USB cable and on the prompt/notification on your phone select HTC sync.
Now very important :: Sync your phone and Backup your data, messages, mails and contacts. You can use backup apps from the market too.
NOW FLASHING TIMESTEP 4 Its Advisable to keep your phone more than 50% charged. Now run the RUU_*_#.exe ie rom file you had downloaded in STEP 1.
STEP 5 Just Follow the on screen instructions on your PC/Laptop.
TAKE CARE:: During the flashing
>>>do not disconnect the USB cable.
>>>The phone will enter the boot-loader mode during this time.
The whole process will take around 10 minutes.
UPDATE: All those who want to Unroot or remove Root just Flash Official RUU***.exe
Have Fun.
Thank you so much, I will use it later.
One question for step 1.: shipped-roms.com are not adding new ROMs since 20. July 2010. Are there any other sources for new ROMs?

Sadly there is no such single source for download since Shipped-roms stopped uploading new roms.. we will Just have to post the links here as and when we find/extract new roms.. presently i dont have a ROM different from Shipped-roms as and when i have one i will start a separate relevant thread for the collection of roms..where we all can post links to our uploaded roms
its nice to see you putting so much effort in the buzz forum here!
thank you and keep it on

Thank you so much Buddy .. it just comes with the love for the community and your device. Its important if we can help use these devices to full potential.. and its a combined effort from all of us that helps.. so My thanks goes to all..
Hope things here would be of some good to you too..
HAVE FUN
Thank you very much for the guide, it realy sounds very simple!
I am a total newbie, never had a smartphone before, never had to deal with ROMs, etc, and I am thinking of getting a Wildfire next week, and if flashing ROMs is done this way, it won't be such a difficult thing to do.
Just a question: Is Wildfire's Bootloader locked or unlocked?
Thank you.

Thank you and welcome we are all newbies at least once in our lives .. Ok now i did not get your question's intention very well but you can access your bootloader i.e you can go to bootloader mode of your phone but you can not flash unsigned ROMs ie custom roms or original roms from another region.. That will be done once the phone is rooted.. Many people including me (though i am not very good at it still i am trying ) are working towards it.. we hope to get it soon then a lot of developments and hacks can be done for this device..
Have Fun

Sorry if I wasn't very exact in my words. I meant exactly what you answered:
If you are able to Flash whatever ROM you want, like Desire/Nexus One users do, but Milestone (for example) users cannot, even though their smartphone is rooted, the Bootloader is Locked.
So from what I understand, when Wildfire gets finally rooted we will be able to Flash whatever unsigned ROM we want.
Keep up the good work and hope you root the phone soon!
Thank you Warrior for this write-up!
I've got some experience in flashing ROMs on a WinMO Phone but a total n00b with Android Phones...
Small question for you if you don't mind...
When looking at the 'What is your firmware' post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722988), I notice I have exactly the same firmware than the Original Poster although he is from Germany and I'm from Belgium. Others with the same firmware were from Denmark and France.

On my Phone, I can choose between Dutch, French and English as language for the operating system. I guess our German friend will have a German language option on his Phone and the Danish guy will probably have yet another option (Danish). Are all these different languages contained in the ROM itself??
Can we all use the same ROM file from Shipped-ROMs.com?
The only ROM on shipped-ROMs that completely corresponds to the version numbers I see on my phone is this one:
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814_signed.exe

How would I recover the Dutch and French language options if I would ever need to install this WWE ROM??
Thanks for any clarification!

I'm asking the same question as @Sylle.
I have the same firmware, software, etc. numbers as he does. I've bought my Wildfire from Vodafone Romania (also locked on this network - this is the reason I want to change the ROM, until a rooting method is discovered) and it has the locale ROM (I'm guessing Central - Eastern Europe or something...it also has Polish, Czech and so on).
I'm goind to put the WWE ROM (RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3. 35.15.31_release_130814_signed.exe) but i would like to know if there's any way to extract the current ROM? Or to make a backup of it, in case I ever need it later..
Many thanks for this topic; definitely going on my "subscribed to" list.
I am a n00b to ROM flashing, but not to *nix systems; anxiously awaiting root, at which point this info is going to come in handy.
I just wondered whether anybody knows if HTCFlasher (the Linux Flash software) works with the Wildfire?

Hey dude all you answers one by one :: First things first i am myself new to android flashing but i was pretty good on windows devices not just flashing but a lot of other stuff too..
ALL ANSWERS ARE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE EVERYONE SHOULD FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IN CASE I AM WRONG::
About language packs inside the rom ::
There are no extra language packs inside ROM other than what you can see.. what i mean is there is no hidden language pack that can be somehow hacked and enabled.

I see that you have found a ROM that corresponds to your ROM..so you can very well go ahead and flash it but to get back to your Original ROM you have to wait till the ROM you Presently have is posted somewhere ..or rooting is done..hence many options will be open to us..
ALSO UR ROM CANT BE BACKED UP AS OF NOW but once rooting is done you can back it up using NANDROID..
I can not try Rooting this as i gifted this phone to my younger BRO and i just have 3 more days to play with it.. i recently have bought HD2 and left my JOB for my Furthur studies so can not spend like i used to earlier .. i am saying this coz it makes me sad as other DEV's are neglecting wildfire for other high end devices and i am not able to help much still i am trying my best..
A quick request: would it be possible to write a similar n00b guide for those of us on Linux (perhaps Ubuntu specific)?

Hey would love to do that i already have UBUNTU 10.04 on my laptop but never bothered trying flashing on it .. I think since Android is Linux too so it should be easier to root and flash on Linux OS in this case Ubuntu...
BTW i remember something about HTC Flasher..Even more info and discusssion HERE so if you like you can do a bit of your own research too..also there is a thread for Rooting Aria on Ubuntu butfor this to be done on Wildfire we need unrevoked to work on our Wildfire first .. sorry mate this month is my Exam so i am devoting a little less time here in forums..

Hi, thanks for the reply (and good luck with your exams!)
One of the things about being new to this scene (I've quite a lot of programming experience) is the lack of a centralized source for information on existing devices. Getting your head around the terminology can be tough. Furthermore, while there are device specific roots, they rarely give insight into the technical process that is going on behind the scenes. I'd really like to gain some insight into the methods people go through when developing a rooting technique.
For instance, say a kernel level exploit is acquired and you obtained a root shell; what is the process for installing the su binary? (what changes are necessary and, because it's a ROM, where would the binary live?)
A lower level resource that started from scratch explaining the boot process, file structure, signing and verification procedure would be ideal, but I haven't yet found one.
(P.S. not necessarily requesting this, just voicing that this seems to be an area that is uncatered for)
Thanks again for the guide.

Hello Phunctionist!
I've been reading a bit more about the subject and I would like you to check something out so that I can confirm my suspicion...
You can change/add more locale (which determines the language of your Android OS) by installing the application 'localeswitch'.
However this doesn't add text input prediction for that language. I have the impression this is included in your keyboard software (Input Method extension - IME) on an android phone.
As we both have the same firmware, i'm wondering if we have the same input settings available for the keyboard as I also have options for Polish and Czech.
Amongst others does your keyboard for example allows you text prediction for
- Dutch (Nederlands): mine does
- French (français): mine does
- Croatian (Hrvatski): Mine does NOT
Hope your answers will bring me some clarification...
Thanks in advance!

Do enlighten us too as and when you get clarification .. coz none of my friends are using this phone so i am not able to get this thing cleared..

What is the simfree spanish rom?
Anyone know what rom should I use for a SimFree Spanish HTC Wildfire
I need another ROM for my Wildfire because it has Chinese language options that I think they are Hongkong and Taiwan. I downloaded this file
RUU_Buzz_HTC_FRA_Bouygues_1.23.483.2_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_140524_signed.exe
and tried flashing this ROM many time but got some errors. At first it was very hard for my phone to connect PC, when it's done the Updater told me the ROM is invalid for my phone.. So which ROM I must download and do I need to hack root my phone?

ROMs are locked to locations.
Asia has their own rom so you must download the Asia rom.
Not sure if it will fix your problem.
Hi all, yes sorry newbie nob here.
I have been reading this site for days & days to make sure I get it right but still not sure
If I load a HSPL and then a ROM (which one I have nooo idea) will I still have the Outlook and Office software or will that be wiped out to.
The main reason for getting the HD2 was the original functionality but I need to loose the Telstra hardcoded stuff.
thanx
There are so many Roms to choose from
Dutty, NRG, Chucky etc they are all great as they all offer different things for different users
Most will have the same stuff you are after usually called a stock Rom
others will have lots of stuff taken out LITE Roms
Choose a Rom chef and look at the Rom they are providing stick to one in the beginning to get used to flashing and read there threads they will usually have what is included at the beginning of that ROM thread if ur not sure ask in that thread most users here are very happy to help you out as we all started where you are now
To get started go to the ROM section and have a real good read at the thread on flashing your first ROM for noobs. And before you decide to do anything, re-read the first post.
Just so you get the hang of it, it is best to HSPL then flash the latest HTC ROM (this includes the main ROM and the Radio ROM). Once you feel a bit more confident, then you can go ahead any try the custom ROMs - remember that the custom ROMs will specify which Radio ROM has to be flashed prior to flashing the main ROM.
The main ROM includes the operating system, Office mobile, Manila & all the programs you already have except the operator specific ones. The Radio ROM controls all connectivity - WiFi, FM Radio, Bluetooth, GPS, telephone connections (including data) - it also has a major impact upon battery.
Thank you, thank you, thank you this answers everything (well for now)
I'll go read the Flashing your 1st ROM for Nobs AGAIN - think I've read it 10 times now lol
Oh I think I'm going to enjoy this new phone adventure

To answer this question: Most, if not all, custom ROMs contain Outlook and Office Mobile -- they are essential software in WM.
On a sidenote: It's best to try out multiple ROMs. That way, you can find one that suits you best.
I don't believe it, after weeks of being a total NOB and reading and re reading I have finally flashed a rom to my HD2 -
It was easy thank you all sooo much - now I'm hooked. lol
Apparently, I am not allowed to ask questions in the developer forum until I make ten posts in a non-developer forum. I am just a casual reader and I rarely feel the need to post. Anyways:
The ROM in the subject line is a JM* ROM and it is suggested that those ROMs are locked in some way. Ref: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
Someone else asked the question that I want to ask: Is this ROM safe to use. Ref: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933028&page=5 reply 42.
The question is dated at least 4 days ago and there are no responses. Since the firmware bundle was released a month after the warning, is it safe to assume that the bootloader issue is taken care of? Is there a safer and just as smooth version that I could use instead?
I bought my Galaxy Tab used and some stuff is weird or missing (like the calculator app) so I want to do a clean install. The ROM referenced in the title appears to be the best that I could find so far. Does anyone have any suggestions?

No need to answer such question since it is a cooked ROM; where; usually, such traps have to be removed.
It is based on P1000JPJM4 Middle East version that support Right-to-Left writing languages such as Arabic, Urdu & Persian...
This ROM is rooted so you can add/remove any app upon your usage
If you are not interested in Right-to-Left Language, I suggest you JMI based modaco or overcom versions; both are recently updated.
Awesome. Thank you for the answer. I am in Kuwait currently so even though I do not speak Arabic, it is possible that an Arabic person may need to use my device so I will stay with this ROM for now. I greatly appreciate your advice.
strike
Oh. I just noticed. You are the one who cooked the ROM. Thank you. It works very well. I noted that someone said their camera app did not work but I tested mine and it works fine. I definitely appreciate your efforts. Rock on.
its working fine for me
I am using this rom and it works great for me and the task manager is there! maybe because i backed up all my apps and restored it after I flashed. I really love that it supports arabic. Even though i live in the US, I read arabic a lot and its really dumb that they don't have that in all the roms!
P.S. I posted things in the development page many times before and they never rejected my posts!! I never started a thread though I always reply with my questions or comments to threads, maybe thats why.
Hi all
So like a few others I love the HD2... I keep it charged and in my Bergan as an emergency phone/GPS when out in the mountains etc.. And even play the odd game or two to save battery on my primary phone...
But what I would like to do if play around with WM/ANdroid roms to find ones that really fit my needs... Troubleis finding a WORKING download link. Thats where this thread comes in..
Could people post the links they have for WORKING DOWNLOADS??? would be a big help. and if I can find enough interest and downloads I will even download and host them ALL in one location so everyone can find them quickly etc.. If a dev has them still please pm me and will download and host them for you.
hoping for a positive response
regards
Lohtse

Here it is: https://www.mediafire.com/?qb8yp58ctlhu8
That's the only one I could find that still has active download links.
The problem is, most files for WM were stored on Rapidshare(down since 2014), D-h.st(down since ~2016?), 4pda.ru(they still exist, but they cleaned house a few years ago, and got rid of many files that didn't have much traffic), and Megaupload has been gone since 2012 now.
Then we have the personal sites from many of the devs, since those devs no longer develop for WM, those sites(and files stored on them) have been taken down.
So, the original files, and their mirrors are gone, sadly, most of the ROM's have been lost forever. It's pretty bad that we have spectacularly failed to preserve a part of our digital history like this(a minor part, but still a part nonetheless.)

I've created a folder in my google drive with some files I have found on my hard drive and copies of roms from working links that i found in the internet : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BGnzGb1k_nK_SYRD7LNt5I3S3gTo9Oqs?usp=sharing
A lot of the official WM6.5 ROMs can be found here:

There i put some roms i had in my hdd[/QUOTE]
I have been playing around with my old HD 2 in the last few days and I really appreciate these ROMs. Thanks so much, I had been fed up as so many of the old links had gone and I had tidied up my hard drives over the years and got rid of so many ROMs. Glad to see you had the sense to keep them.
Cheers
Roger

Thanks man. You just created a good software source for this old but legend phone. I play with mine every now and then. It feels tiny in hands comparing to my nexus 6 .
I remember on 2011 i went to a mobile accessories shop in egypt to get a cover for this phone , all the guys who saw it astonished saying : what is this GIANT phone ! . :laugh:
hi i'm new here
hi, I literally just began here but I respect this thread, my sister just gave me an htc hd2 that says with htc sense on the back cover, when I first booted it up surprisingly she says someone "unlocked her phone from the sim for her, but there was way more to that story, this htc hd2 was rooted, but unfortunately the os it was running was very outdated and I couldn't even access the marketplace or let alone the browser apk was missing and so began the long days and nights attempting to update the os to something I can play my favorite mobile game avabel with , but then I somehow ended up removing the nand android rom and then eventually I got stuck withy nothing bu.t clockwork mod recovery and magldr, with most of the links busted around like almost the entire internet I thought it was high time I introduce myself to xda, now I'll just say, i'm pretty sure I don't know what I am getting into or what I am doing, but I've been awake 3 days straight next to a coffee table, and since then, I was able to get twrp 2.2.0 installed, clk is installed, all that's missing is a custom rom, unfortunately it seems I am like a decade late to the party and there's a superpandemic outside, and despite all that, this hd2 may just walk...yet again. Seriously though does anyone know of any Actual working links as of 2020 june? preferably any without malware but if I have to sacrifice windows might be worth it, because at this point, i'm feeling all in, I really want to see this phone operate like normal again with twrp and clk, seems extremely beneficial. I really like the idea someone has posted this because it definitely needs a second thought , I see so many people invested time and hard work into this, even on GitHub there are still remains of hundreds of lines of code, and I'm personally just really curious and interested of the idea, Can a decade old phone still be rooted and working? if not on a new rom maybe an old one might still function? most of the rom links have been defunct and some even have some pretty nasty malware, seriously all these viruses is really dangerous, not mention annoying, but that's common know how. I found some files, I might try and create a spot somewhere that will hopefully preserve itself where people can at least install the toolkit and the nbh/nbr/ruu file that got me to twrp, I feel a bit closer now than I did being stuck with just clockwork mod, my two biggest roadblocks right now are the fact that cyanogen mod no longer has their old roms functional and I don't know what to do to properly setup and install a custom rom other than navigating the recovery to install the zip file it sits in but every time I try to do so twrp replies back checking the md5 file, no file found, the line immediately after that just says error etc. which makes me wonder, is it just me? or is this md5 error something deeper? or am I just downloading the wrong stuff, some installations seemed to almost work because instead of that error it replies back what phone the rom was actually intended for. I believe from those statistics and digging that htc hd2 may have run out of working rom links that actually work or my phone has a program or some left over data lodged in the filesystem somewhere ,that is preventing me from installing properly, it's driving me a bit bananas, but I feel like there is something more to this than I thought, most youtube videos just show someone either using twrp to flash the zip or the adb to flash twrp itself (unrelated) but the main struggle is what is this md5 check? and how do I fix it? or is the rom just supposed to automatically run? but yet again, unfortunately I canot find any working links because I don't understand if my phone is just malfunctioning due to something left unchecked?(possible sd card corruption?) or if these links I've downloaded from aren't including good data I can use to load and use the rom. any help with working rom links would truly be appreciated, and with much gratitude I leave this post here, my apologies for the long message by the way, been writing a lot of school papers today,
disable check for md5 on twrp settings

Hi, If I remember clearly, TWRP has a settings page where you can enable "Check for MD5" or something like that.
Just uncheck/disable that, and try flashing a rom.
Admins please sticky this thread so it dont get lost forever. Thank you.
Hey guys, did anyone got NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V3.0b.zip ?
Or perhaps NexusHD2-KitKat-CM11.0_V4.7.zip ?
Very sad that developers and forum mods aren´t interested in archiving awesome modding history.
There´s no working download link for any of those CM rom´s avaiable and seems like almost all source code for hd2 went away aswell.
Tytung has 3 repositories online, it´s missing almost everything needed to build a rom + if i was able to successfully build, it probably would still have no aroma installer for the very important steps to set up data2ext or the like.
With my little knowledge, this is definitely too complex at the moment.
Need more skills first
