HD2 locked by Orange France is possible to do HSPL & rom cooked?

Hello All;
I'm new here and i have bought htc hd2 in French language from Orange France locked. and i have some questions;
1. If i do a hard spl and after try to istall a cooked rom or any original rom of another language like Italian for example, can i do? is possible? or maybe i will have difficulties with orange? because you remember it is locked.
2. If it is possible, doing this the phone can be free or unlocked? or there is any other procedure to unlock it? maybe to upgrade radio?
3. the last question; if a day i want to turn back to the original orange france rom can i backup it? and how?
thank you all. i'm new with this and don't want to brick it so i make this question to the specialists

Most of your questions can be answered <<HERE>> in this thread. Start by reading first post before posting...
Read <<HERE>> as well.

I can confirm that HardSPL installs and works on a HTC HD2 bought from Orange.
I flashed the radio to the latest (2.06) and I use a ROM based on 28014 (6.5.3, I think) but using SoftSPL.
I will reflash to a newer ROM this week, this time using HardSPL.

Did that procedure resulted in unlocked HD2?
Can you use SIM card from other networks/providers?

thanks for your response but if you want to turn back to Orange original rom, how you can do this?
does exist any software to save the original rom before?

HD2 from french (Orange)
Hi everybody,
I bought my HTC HD2 few weeks ago from Orange in France. I am quite new in the field and don't know a lot of thing about ROM flashing. I have a naive question. I have a plan with ATT but with this HD2, I am not able to use ATT 3G only the EDGE. I read that it is normal. I just wondering if I flash into a new ROM this could modify somthing and let me use the ATT 3G network ?
Thank you very much to read me.

Thanks for the above link...I have just downloaded it and zone alarm is quarantining sspl_ruu.exe as a trojan....is it possible to use one of the many other ruu.exe from other cooked roms with this one, or is this just zone alarm being over sensitive?

ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 Vodafone Branding

Hello everybody,
I have bought my new HTC HD2 from Vodafone Germany. I live in Germany and ,as all windows devices, my HTC is localized to Germany and the windows mobile 6.5 comes with the German language and I wanted to change it to English. I tried to download the ROM upgrade to "English-Arabic support" from HTC website but when I put the serial number of my device it says that this version is not suitable for your device and I have found another version "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe" and when I tried to install it I got an error says "INVALID Vendor ID" or something like this.
Finally I have bought a 3ed party software just to be enabled to read arabic but the language is still German
So please if anybody knows how to solve this problem and help me I will be thankful.
Best Regards,
Amer

install hspl then instal whichever run you like via usb.

i had the same probs here with vodaphone uk...
as above, install hspl, the sticky of this can be found in the leo roms section of this site and it will guide you, but the installation process is really straight forward.. then you are able to install any of the ROMS, be they official OR custom cooked roms..
My personal favourite is the ENERGY series of roms.. but have a good look about, im sure you will find many that offer the practicality and versatility your after!

Hi Ell_H,
Thank you very much for your reply and I have read about HSPL and it sounds amazing tool but another question about restoring the old system. How can I get the original ROM and restore the system to its old state after changing it?
Thanks in advanced.

You need to find the original rom for your phone, both region AND provider(if you were getting invalid serial on teh htc website then your phone is provider locked, so for example you would need to look for the german t mobile rom, if you got your phone from t mobile germany)
Once you have your original rom you can then use sd card method to remove hspl and restore to factory rom. You can only do this with your original shipped rom.

Problem upgradind German Vodafone ROM
Hi,
I have the same problem upgrading the Vodafone ROM. I would like to load the generic ROM or any other ROM that works with Vodafone. It can be English as well. If I try to load the generic through HTC site it checks the SN and doesn't allow the ROM upgrade.
What to do to load another up to date ROM without running into the same issue as Amer? There are so many ROM version out there and I don't want to risk trying the wrong ROM.
Thanks for help!

You need to obtain the rom from vodafone, or use HSPL / Gold Card to flash another ROM.

Thx for answer. I read about HSPL and will figure that out. I read there are requirements concerning the radio. My radio is 2.04.50.22_2 and ssems pretty old. Does someone know where to find the best guide how to do the HSPL install?
There are many ROMS out there and I want to make sure I will not run into trouble using it with Vada. What ROM to take is the question?
Danke!

Bored waiting for O2 UK update. Want to flash.

Hi guys,
As most of O2 UK customers, I got stuck on 1.43 and it seems it will take them some time to release 1.66 (but who knows that? it might be 1.45).
So, I decided to not wait and have a try to cooked rom.
- If u r with O2 UK could u help me to do it step by step please?
- which rom wld u recommend.
- I know I void warranty but before I send the phone to repair I can put back
there my 1.43 firmware and everything is ok, am I right? Cld u send me a link to O2 1.43 firmeware just in case.
- any advice and help is welcome.
Cheers

o2 stock rom is in "leo official roms " thread, first post - first link - 1.43 folder.
no one can tell you what is the best rom.just be happy that you don't have a tmous so you can flash any rom you want no danger.
try some, and stick to what works for you.
most of all, read.

1 instal hspl2, choose any version , , 1.66.HSPL or 2.08.HSPL probably, doesnt really matter so long as you choose one with HSPL in the code.)
2 flash rom of choice
3 if required flash correct radio
How to flash - put rom or radio .nbh file in a folder along with customruu.exe, connect phone to usb (boot to bootloader first if your phone currently wont boot to a running system, like for after you flash the rom but before you flash the radio)
EDIT - If you want to flash back to stock, you can do it by running the .exe, no need to extract the .nbh or use customruu.

no, there isn't.

Here is a link for the default O2 ROM and Radio, it's self explanatory.

Go with WWE 1.66 add Bsb tweaks setup all your bit's and bob's to only manually update and trust me the battery will last 3 times longer than that shipped O2 rom
It generally lasts me about 3 days between charges now..quite brilliant !
I don't know exactly what they have done with the rom but it must be fully allowing power save options
One small point the rom is generic so You may need to setup service provider details, that should not be to hard for You

Ok, I'll go for original 1.66 first.
I ve got vista 64, is there anything I should know before I start?
lets sum up I need:
- 1.66.HSPL or 2.08.HSPL (cld u give me a link pls)
- Rom RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
is it the best one?
- I dont need a radio in this case, do I?
How long will it take approximately to make a phone working in order to call and receive calls 1h?

It takes about 10 mins to flash a ROM, so not long at all.

to disable Hardspl extract ruu**.nbh file and rename to LEOIMG.nbh
put this on your SD card then make hard reset
Before I had 3 HD2 TyTNII devices
2 had a hardware defect
on both devices was not partly filled with the original T-Mobile software
but the original HTC software with HardSPL
I still had full warranty

sorry shurup, you were right.

There is a difference in the HTC German ROM and the German T-Mobile shipped ROM. I bought my HD2 here in Germany and I flashed it with the 1.66 WWE ROM and the only difference I have found is the T-Mobile splash screen during start up. As far as I can tell, all the same programs are on the ROM.

Is it possible to flash this 1.66 WWE ROM on t-mobile rom without hspl? This is important for the warranty. In this case I can claim that the phone has a legal update.
