Yes, there is newer official ROM, you can find it directly on HTC site.
Or you can try any custom ROM - there are lots of them, you just need to try (or do some reading first which one suits you best (they differ from very clean to "fully loaded" with tons of software, also some have "stock" look, some are fully customized).
Don't forget in case you choose to try custom ROM - first you need to update your SPL to some version of HSPL (exact version is not important, you may flash latest 2.08.HSPL directly), then you need to flash Radio (look which versions are recommended by the chief of the ROM you choose to update) and only then flash ROM itself.

Welcome to XDA........
First place you should try for android related questions is here.......
The place to download the different android builds is here
Most of the builds contain a guide to setting up in the first post....
Heres a link to the build that I use.
Its worth looking through the different builds to see which one is gonna suit you best and get a feel for how the process works........
Hope that helps........
Good luck.
so we must use custom ROM to run Android?
stock ROM from HTC not possible?
and another question, how do we identify which ROM is android-compatible?
Ok you have Middle East Rom as I do,its a very good ROM keep it.you dont need to change the Radio.
Now how to get Android to work:
1-Go here and download HSPL3,unzip and put it in a folder:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433.
2-connect your HD2 to the computer with Active Sync,open the folder containing HSPL3,click on the HSPL3 Icon and install,RREAD averything it instructs and do what it says.
3-Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747492.
Download this android,its the one I use and works great.
4-connect your HD2 to the computer as a USB Disk and unzip it on your SD Card from your PC.

You can just test it man..??!
Looks like you have a pre-release device that is usually given to carriers for testing. No, it is not developer-unlocked. All those z-applications at the end of your app list are used for tests.
Note that you might not be able to upgrade to future versions, unless you flash a new shipping ROM. Usually there are no official upgrade paths from mojobld versions.
you can easily flash original roms on this build as the phone is already security unlocked
Did you get this recently from eBay? If so, I got one too. I got all the same apps. I just needed it as a development device, so I'm not too fussed. I've been able to succesfully dev unlock it and deploy code to it. However, I'm not sure whether it works 100% as a regular phone, but I suspect it will.
sorry for late reply
Build is as follow:
image 9207
latest update will not install error 80180048, I've tried to reflash with stock ROM by RUU and IMG no joy.
and here is an interesting menu i stumble upon:

Image 9222
Image 9225
Few more here photobucket.com/dave-r
Cheers
i got a test radar too. so that's why there are heavy apps preloaded even if I performed a hard reset. but anyway, last night I was able to flash HardSPL on it and now it runs on a custom rom for radar
Hello everyone,
When you install a new rom via cwm you do not change the version of android even if in the settings you can find 5.0.2 for example, the version of android will staythe same, based on the original version of the firmware i'ts just the theme and applications that change to optimize the device, am I right?
And are there any customs firmwares that really change the version of android to flash with odin for example ?

Though CWM is a good bootloader, CWM hasn't been getting the attention nor being updated by the Dev(s).
More and more individuals are turning to TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) as the preferred bootloader. They keep it up to date and provide decent support. It provides allot less problems that do arise within CWM. If you want, the link is https://twrp.me/
Just filling you in with what I've been seeing.
Peace and Love!

Is it true that leeco phones will not receive android 7 ?
Sent from my Le X820 using Tapatalk
Why?
Do you have any source for this? How do you know?
NOT TRUE - http://www.droid-life.com/2017/01/06/leeco-expect-software-updates-soon-address-user-pain-points/
yes, but he does not speak of nougat
I was just reading that you won't be able to receive any updates with international stock rom installed.
Is that really true? I can't find any option in settings to search or install any updates.
I am kind of happy with the international stock rom. No Chinese apps installed, no bloatware (so far found) and google play store is working.
Thanks!

What do you mean under international stock rom? Could you be more specific?
There are so called "webshop" roms, which are - as you can see in the name - modified by the online stores. Those roms are based on Indian version of eui , installed lots of bloatwares, multilanguages are contained. These are not official roms, not gonna be updated.
You should consider installing offical chinese/indian rom, which is gonna be updated for sure.

A user can always update the shop rom with the latest official rom via recovery. The easiest way to do it.

I am not really sure if I am running a Shop ROM. Just bought the phone from Gearbest.
I just thought that the Indian Version is the international version with multilanguage. I have LeEco Store installed and 3-4 other apps. But it really seams to be a Shop ROM because of the missing update option.

Can you explain what to do?
Just download the latest Indian version than rename it to update.zip and put it in the root folder and after that Power + Vol + and thats it?
I just dont want to lose German language on the phone. It is for my mother so usability is the most important, you know.
Thank you guys in advance!

Guess you are right. But you won't get OTA updates, if you use webshop rom. I didn't get neither.

Very simple. Yes.
I have Deutsch in my latest official Chinese 20s.
So does it mean that I can flash/update eather Indian or Chinese ROM just over the shop ROM without losing any data and language?
Sounds too easy for me
Yes, its easy like that i upgraded from shop rom to 21S Chinese - and I was wondering that german is better supported in 21S Chinese then in the germanized shoprom version ... only bad thing was - i lost the google play store.

And to get back Google Play Store you have to download it in LeEco store or just install the Indian version instead of the Chinese, right?
... or use this one -> https://xiaomininja.com/2016/07/15/...l-google-play-services-on-miui-8-video-guide/
I installed the cookie version 92 2 works fine. After wipe wipe data, flash with twrp and is done. Try. The zip file is called
X820_TWRP_ADVANCED_V3.1.1_CUOCO92. ZIP
yes but i heard leeco engineering work on android 7
Heyyo, yeah that international EUI ROM is modified and won't get OTA hence the check for updates is missing.
For my x829 I couldn't upgrade to Indian or Chinese EUI directly via the recovery and update.zip. It would give an error message about file errors. Only way for me to flash other ROMs was to use TWRP via temp boot via fastboot and then flash other ROMs.
I ended up not liking even newer EUI versions so now I use custom ROMs as they have a better setup with the more like Stock Android experience with the quick settings in the notification drawer.
It's still hard to tell if LeEco will be able to follow through with Nougat for their phones due to all the financial issues they have... But meh, tbh I'm not worried given how darn good community ROMs are and how they don't have the odd quirks that EUI have.
Albeit, it would be nice if they at least put out kernel sources for Nougat (or I guess Android O which will be out sooner than later) which could improve community ROMs a bit

It was said by January. Still they didn't released an update :crying:
Last update i got was on 14th October 2016. When ever i send a mail asking about the next update they respond like we will inform in a week or two. But they never did. By the end of march they said that they are working on android 7 but it will take more time. They said expected release will be july last week. I mailed again now. No responses from them.
I like the EUI very much. I don't want to install some custom rom. But same time, this thing have lot of bugs and many futures need modification.
1) How can a custom ROM like RR be as good as the official ROM? - I mean RR works on all devices and they do not even manage to have the same official MIUI version on all phones. All the developer versions are the same version but have different MB sizes for every phone. That needs to have a reason...
2) I want to chance my harware buttons to start an app. I did it before on my Redmi Note 3 (Kate) with xposed. Worked like a charm. I even had OTA support with TWRP.
Now I tried it with the Remdi Note 4. I am on developer v. 7.4.27 - which means I have Android 7 thus, no xposed framework. I want to go back to a Android 6 MIUI version. Which one should I use? As soon as I update I'm screwed..?
Well, in the end I am kind of lost between these options:
1) Install latest stable version and wait (for an uncertain time) 'till TWRP works fine and get xposed
2) Go back to an earlier stable version and install TWRP and xposed - and never update until xposed for Android 7 is out
3) Switch to an older developer version which has Android 6 and install xposed - and never update until xposed for Android 7 is out
4) Just screw MIUI and switch to another ROM. Which one? RR sounds cool.. can I change my hardware buttons to start an app there? Can the custom ROM be better then the offical ROM? ...and I think RR is oon Andoid 7 which means again - no xposed :crying:

You can install AOSP Extended it much better then STOCK and yes u can also set any app to be launched from hardware button on that
Hit thank button if i helped
Hey, yeah I know I can install cusom ROMS. But I wanted to get some background information
edit:
Also this answer is too general. Doesn't flashing AOSP Extended mean I need to flash all the updates? Thus I need to login in all apps again etc... I also read the thread and there are some bluetooth issues with the ROM. I do not want to "maintain" my phone all the time. I am coding at work all day. I have a **** ton of things to do, nevertheless I love playing around with my phone if I have time, I do not NEED to spend time with "maintaining" my phone.
I therefore like to have it as simple as possible. I love the OTA updates. I even like the look and feel of MIUI.
Just want to tweak my phone
For now I flashed the MIUI v. 8.2 and just took the MM (Android 6) based version.
TWRP is running, SU, xposed. But I do not know what happens when I will update over OTA the next time....
