Good morning,
I'm here in HK for a long period and I'd like to buy a HTC HD2 here that is cheaper than in Italy.
My only concern is that if I can flash it without problem in order to use a new cooked ROM in italian .
What does it mean WWE ? I read WWE in some ROM but I don't known what it means
Thanks
Hi friend, WWE stands for world wide English....I also bought my HD2 from Hongkong, and the original ROM installed is also the WWE version, means everything is in English, not in Hongkong's native language...Flashing to another ROM is not a problem, just make sure you follow the procedure correctly (HSPL, etc..etc...)
Thanks...but can you tell me about correct procedure to flash ? I want to avoid any kind of serious problem
all in the stickies at the top of this forum, with videos
OK thanks...but the right steps are : flash with new spl or hpsl and then fals new rom (if I want to use Artemis rom wich SPL/HSPL flash have I to use ?
Thanks
Soon, I would be in Uk too. Which is the carrier who offers the mobile at a lower price -and which is the lower price-??Many thanks!!

Hi, this is my very first post here, in the best site/forum on the internet about PDA.
Here's my doubt: I have an Artemis With WM 6.0 in Portuguese. I want to take my risks in the world of cooked roms and i want to try the artemis touch 4.02, wich it is in english. As I read, we just have to run the USPL and than flash with any rom. Am I right?
Second question is: I have a portuguese rom or at least an extended rom. My question is: I flash my artemis with the english artemis touch 4.02 rom, supose that I don't like it or something else and want to return to my portuguese rom I can use the extended portuguese rom that I have?
Something like this:
1.Original Portuguese Rom
2.Flash with the english artemis touch 4.02
3.Get back to portuguese with extended portuguese rom that I have.
Can I do this 3 steps if I wish so? And if I do all those 3 steps will I loose my warranty?
Congratulations for the amazing comunity...

Don't forget to remove any passwords before you flash the new rom. And it is essential that you flash USPL before you flash a new rom. I made the following order, to success:
1-SIM unlock (definitive)
2-Temporary CID unlock through USPL (CID locks again after next step)
3-Flash a new rom. In my case, I'm using Oops Black v1.
Regarding the other questions, as far as I know, once you flash a new rom, you loose the old one.
And at last but not least, if you mess with it, you can always tell them you did nothing to it. I just don't know if they will believe you.

Thanks for the quick answer and yes, I know I will loose the rom inside the pda, but I have a file with about 51Mb downloaded from the htc website named: "HTC_P3300_PTG_3.13.410.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R".
I just don't know if it is a rom or an extended rom, in fact I don't even know the real diferences beteween this 2 concepts...
My question is after I flash with "artemis touch 4.02", can I run USPL again and flash back to this rom? (supposely my original one)

Sure. you can allways get back to your original ROM (if you didn't had any problem in the midle of the process). Sometimes when you have problems with the flashing process, that will be you only chance.
The file that you've download is a ROM where you have the OS.
The extended ROM normally is only for add-ons.
Cheers
Hello!
The ROMs which are here posted, are all english?
Is there a way to get ROM which are in german, so i have an german GUI?
Just to say thanks to all on this forum. This, because of my very first rom flashing. And guess what? It went very well. No problems at all!!!!
All because of the amazing people that is here everyday trying to make the pda's world more simple for everyone.
By the way, congratulations to the "cooker" of Artemis Touch 4.02. It is a wonderfull rom, with everything that i use to install as third party software and many more and all this with a lot of ram free. It is very stable, fast and very good looking!
So, Thank You All!!!

Hi to all. I flashed my artemis 2 months ago with touch 4.02, everything is fine until now. But i have the same question as above. If i want to flash my artemis with the original rom and radio version, is there any way to lock it again, so that nobody in the service understand that i flashed it in the past?

Hi all, i like upgrade for 4.02, but I don't know. Help me.

Hi -
I've had my HTD HD2 a few days now and want to upgrade to an official ROM which will hopefully sort out a few minor instability problems that it has at the moment, and more importantly battery life issues.
The current ROM version is 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE.
Firstly could someone please advise me which ROM version I should upgrade to? On the European HTC site the latest is 1.48.405.2 but apparently there is a 2.02 out too?
Also, could someone advise me where I should download the ROM from? I can't use the HTC official site as my serial number is blocked due to Vodafone only allowing ROM upgrades through them. I've found this link from this site http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html but am not sure if i'm looking at the correct thing?
Finally, could you please tell me which guide I should follow? I was thinking this one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314
Thanks in advance for your help
1.48 is the official HTC one so I'd say give that a go first...
Best guide is the one for n00bs as it tells you how to install HSPL as well which makes life SO much easier (apparently, still on 1.48 myself)...have a good read and go from there...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
1.48/1.61 are the latest official roms.
2.01 and 2.02 are unofficial leaked ones.
Stick with 1.61 or 1.48 for stock. You can then always flash a new radio too.
Install HSPL, then put the ROM image you pick on an sdcard as LEOIMG.nbh. Or install via activesync.
Thanks for both the replies. Sorry could you clarify which is the latest official? 1.61 or 1.48?
I thought I need to use a gold to upgrade? Would the guide you linked to, EddyOS still be okay? Because it does not mention the gold car in it anywhere, wheras the one here does...
And finally, could you explain what HSPL is and how it would be beneficial?
Thank you!
bump.. any help is appreciated. thanks
These are questions best asked and answered in the ROM Development section, not here in General., but briefly, HSPL will let you flash any rom from any region, including cooked roms. Goldcard will let you flash OFFICIAL roms from any region, but unless you already have a goldcard, you will have trouble making one, as the free goldcard generator went offline a few days ago.
Having HSPL on your device will probably be enough of an excuse for your supplier to not support your warranty, though you can uninstal HSPL if needed.
Go read the Rom development section over and over and over again is the best advice.
1.61 is the latest official ROM, but it is localised only for WWE and Turkish.
Yes, and HSPL will let you recover from a bad flash too.

It is safe to install a ROM from a different country the only trouble is you might not get your preferred language.

HELLO
STOP It is not safe to install rom for other country unless you have installed HSPL. If you try then you will stuck at boot loader. Please be clear before you advice someone.
If you want to install any rom please install HSPL first. Then your choice of Rom. If you don't want to install HSPL then wait for your stock HTC rom update for your Device serial number.
I hope you did not tried yet.
Good luck
sab is right,go to this thread and read or watch the video to HOW TO INSTALL HSPL

soon you done that you can get any cooked rom in here, Enjoy
Ok guys. Thank you for your advice. I waited for yours answers and didn't flash my device with another ROM. Patience is gold.
my ROM vs is 1.48.479.1 (71294) WWE... .there is the 1.66 on htc website for WWE but when i enter my S/N it says it is not correct... how's that? regarding the language... on first boot it asked me what language to use... i chose RO and it said to wait 3 minutes... the question is... the translation is htc or my service provider?
and how it is regarding radio upgrades?... do they really help?
thanks!
There is a WWE and WWE Eastern Europe. You need Eastern Europe version.
If you flash original ROM, it is with Radio ROM, newer Radio has better sensitivity, little battery drain, faster GPS fix etc....
If you use HSPL, you can flash any ROM and any Radio ROM, not only official...
Eastern Europe version v 1.66
Guys there is a Eastern Europe version v 1.66 floating around for some time which it will install without problem. Also there is a 1.66 version on sunnysoft page : http://sunnysoft.cz/download/HTC/ROM_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1-66.zip the one who is doing localization this link is brand new until couple of days there were stil 1.48.

Personally I am using the 2.08 version but this is due to the ROM I am using; I can not say that is much better or worse than the "default" one. The best one is the one you consider it right.

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!

Hi fellows,
I searched a while but could not find a solution for my problem...
I am using a HTC HD2 branded and "locked" by T-Mobile Germany.
Using my S/N I can not download original HTC-ROMs.
So my only option is using TMO-Roms from their website... :-/
I want to install NAND-Version of Android because WinMo is so embarassing. Especially the "Marketplace" is really NOT good... -.-
I tried to follow the manuals on your pages, but I can not find a hint for my problem...
Do I have to "break" anything to get any other Rom running?
I found sth. called "GoldCard" but... oh my god... Very complicated!
I hope you guys can help me.
It would be awesome.
Thanks a lot!

Hspl4, choose 2.08.hspl
can now flash anything, but use USB, not SD.
you will want to change radio first as things needed for android require high version radios. Go for 2.15.50.x radio.
If your current winmo rom is version 3.14 you wont need to change radio.
I've the same phone:
HD2 HTC with german t-mobile software, but it is not branded on the cover.
Also it says it has 512mb of rom and 448 of ram
SO I think it should be the EU HTC, and i should use rom and guides for the EU version
Can someone pleas confirm me it is the european version?
I don't want to brick my phone the first time i change the rom ahhaah
search the hd2 nand android forums and there should be a sticky for it
