My updated [3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE] HTC HD2 loves to hang or restart - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings too you all,
I have purchased HTC HD2 device on September 2010 in Poland from Orange network. A week ago I have "finally" upgraded to latest official ROM from HTC2.
My current device details after update are:
SPL-3.03.0000
OS : 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manila: 2.5.20181527.0
ROM: 3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE
ROM date: 10/04/10
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Protocol: 15.42.50.11U
I have a serious problem. My device even when returned to default settings (holding VOL UP and DOWN when switching on) or re-flashed again with same ROM, like to hang quite a lot during the day. Sometimes it works entire day without hang up then hangs unexpectedly or restarts. When restarted it might even hang at white HTC logo screen without the red font versions list appearing, or moments after I type in PIN. Sometimes it restart just moments after I type PIN in, or minutes after working - or hangs. I help myself by using the force-restart button near battery or by removing battery. I suppose it is ROM issue? I do not want to go back to previous official ROM - I had different bugs with that one, and it was in Polish language, what I truly disliked.
I could try very stable ROM and I need your help and instructions how to do it in such a way that I can always go back to all my original settings (if I have to give device back on warranty). I really don't want a screw up so I kindly ask to guide me here through unofficial flashing process, choice of new ROM and troubleshooting my crazy HD2.

my HD2 also behave like this (latest 3.14 WWE ASIA ROM). but i thought it was because i flashed Artemis v43 ROM. i flashed the official ROM again to see if it will restart itself but after few hour & soft reset for several times it works just fine. But when i flashed Artemis v43 & after 2 days of usage it start to soft reset & hang at HTC start screen.
before i read your post i was really sure the Artemis v43 ROM was the cause of this, now im not sure maybe have to flash the official 1.66 WWE again if it keeps restarting itself.

Wow, thanks for your reply. Now I am in check-mate. Because I have researched a lot about Artemis #44, thought it will solve my problem. Now I am not that sure. So what is causing these often hang ups and restarts? You know, couple of days ago after I re-flashed latest official ROM again and I was going through "first use" screens, typing back all my accounts in - it hanged again... restart, and again, again. Fortunately it works without hangs since yesterday. I have this "theory" that subscription PIN locked SIM cards are the issue here. I have changed my SIM card free-of-charge already, however the problem persist. However I took pre-paid SIM from Orange too, not PIN locked, placed it into my phone, and I was able to set up my phone correctly, customize settings and then switched cards back to Orange MIX (something like subscription) SIM card.
I really don't know what to do next. One might say - go back to old-school ROM
Edit:
Firstly I will try to re-flash original latest ROM for my phone S/N.
Secondly I will try Artemis v. #44 (Melody)

Mates,
You re not alone. I had same experience. That is why if you see my signature, I downgraded the SPL. Now I dont have that kind of troubles.Although I cant use Artemis now.
Cheers..

if the phone is new, forget trying to fix it, get it replaced.

Issue has been resolved by HTC repair workshop. After my HTC mainboard was replaced everything is fine and my device has not hanged even once since then. I am running stock ROM now.

Update did not work
Hi all,
I just tried to use this update however it did not work. It said something about invalid operator?? It is an Orange M3100...
Any tips?
Dave
It is the WWE update from orange; if you have a bootloader >=1.06 it will only setup on a device having a CID matching ORANGE_001 or something like that. As far as I know there are different CID for each contry, an french device will have something like Orange_203 for CID.
Upgraded ok on an M3100. - Mine was unlocked with imei-check v3 so my CID was 0 anyway, but I suspect it would have been fine.
Versions are now:
Operator version: 14.123.10.702
ROM Version: 1.23.70.2
ROM Date: 08/14/06
Radio version: 1.06.04.00
Protocol version: 32.37.7010.01H
OS Build: 14955.2.3.0
It left my bootloader at version 1.04 (possibly this could be handy for people with M3100s who have tried to install an image with bootloader v1.06?)
Interestingly though it set my CID back to HTCSORANG001 and set my privilege level back to FF, however the phone remained SIM-unlocked. I switched to a T-Mobile SIM (I have a dual-sim adaptor) and it worked fine.
Re-run imei-check v3 and it set my CID to SuperCID and priv level to 0 again.
Seems fine so far. Of course it's only been up 10 mins....
I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE ROM!~~
any links
thanks
It's still in Hermes uploads. I don't feel confident enough in it just yet to update the wiki; let's get some confirmation that it's ok.
It appears to originate from Romania btw. When I installed it my regional settings were Romanian and the PIE favourites had Romanian sites in them. Seems to work fine in English though; I had to go hunting to figure out where it was from.
I've re-installed most of my stuff now. No apparent probs so far.
Ok got everything re-installed.
Syncing mail, calendar & contacts OK. PhoneAlarm working OK. Resco Explorer OK. Tried a couple of games OK. TomTom OK. Phone calls OK. Connected to GPRS & Wi-Fi OK. Browsed the internet ok. Java apps OK. Camera OK. Citrix apps OK.
Only difference I've noticed so far is it's been trying to connect to Orange GPRS in preference to Wi-Fi. I just deleted my Orange GPRS settings, since I use my T-Mobile sim for GPRS, so that's fixed.
Updated the Hermes Upgrading wiki, although link for file is to Hermes Uploads.
Pof, I think you can move the file to Shipped_Complete_Updates, when you're ready.
I can confirm that this Rom works an absolute treat. Does appear to be Romainian as the Time zone is set there.
Updated my phone several weeks ago to an Imate Rom, which worked ok but didn't really solve the problems I was having (namely bluetooth). Now have an Orange Rom again so at least I can get the phone swapped by Orange again if I ever knacker it.
Well done one and all for finding this Rom
Is it faster/more stable?
What other improvements?
Does it have MSN Messenger on it?
I can't really say I've noticed it being particularly faster. I seem to have less problems with my Dual-SIM adaptor, but that may be coincidence. Apart from that, it seems pretty much the same.
One hiccup to watch out for; the MMS settings default to using a Romanian server, so if you use this you may need to go to Inbox > Menu > Tools > Options > MMS > Servers and change the settings on the MMS server.
No MSN Messenger. I don't use this, but isn't there an install file for it floating around somewhere?
I had a play with IM, and Agile messenger or IM+ seemed quite good if I remember rightly.
couple of things with the rom:
i had it for 2 days then flashed teh imate telstra rom again due to :
1)the phone got hung several times a day , requiring soft resets
2)it went to sleep mode and didnt wake up by pressing the power button .. again had to soft reset
3)didnt work very with wizbar adv 2
so i went back to imate telstra rom which works flawlessly on my jasjam
also i had no problems like above with any of the other roms (tytn,dopod,cingular) only with this rom!!

You, discriminator! ...Kidding. Maybe this happens due to the fact that this ROM was meant to work on European networks. It might have some radio incompatibilities with the US networks. Try to separately install the latest Cingular radio (it is available on the xda ftp). I may be wrong about the above said, but in Romania this ROM works flawlessly...
yeah i guess so... will try later..
i used to love orange roms.. due to their very nice and easy to navigate today app..but man in this rom the background totally sucks!!!

Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation the last week without internet connection
The file is now on Shipped_Complete_Updates:

I also changed the wiki info because the CID was incorrect, it is ORANG008 (Orange Romania).

Need help getting my phone to work on Hutchinson Three Australia

Hey,
I was given a Softbank X01HT from my brother and I've been using the information on this site to try and get the phone up and working on the Three network in Australia. This site has been really informative and I managed to do a lot of upgrades to my phone and everything works fine except that I get "no service" when I put my Three sim card into the phone. Could someone please help me work out what's wrong with my phone?
Here are the details of my phone:
Device: Softbank X01HT (Black one don't know how old)
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
ROM Version: CRCs r13.3
Radio Version: 1.47.30.19
I've done the following:
Upgrade to hard SPL (first thing I did)
Run the Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a (Though now I have doubts that I did it right)
Installed various rom (mostly for fun)
Installed Josh V15 Manila 2D rom
Installed the dopod AUS 3network WM6 (I thought it would have the right radio and settings)
Installed the CRC rom (I didn't like the dopod rom)
Any help would be appreciated. I've been searching but I couldn't find a good answer.
I'm not very familiar with that phone but you'll need to create a new data connection so that it can connect to 3.
When creating one, make sure you select the data connection type as GPRS, 3G etc, the access point is called 3services, no username or password is required. Should be good from then on.
These forums are awesome, with a bit more patience and perserverance I finally got my phone to work.
I did more searching on the X01HT and found that people were using the radio rom from pof's SIM & CID Unlocker. There was talk about cooking roms and stuff which I didn't want to try, so I decided to just run through the unlocker again. I made sure that I turned off my phone for 10 secs at the end and do a soft reset after the 10 secs, as I was a bit careless with that part last time.
After getting through all the steps, the phone recognised my sim and configured my phone for the three network. I can now connect to the net and make phone calls.
Now the details of my phone are:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.40.Olipro
ROM version: CRC r13.3
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Thanks guys for running this site. I reckon i'll be on these forums a lot in the next few months. There's still a lot of tweaks I want to do to my phone.
Mate, bit of advice, install Hard SPL V7 so there are no "accidents" when flashing a new rom... Its a bit better at protecting your Hermes when you flash than 1.40. Thats an older version of Hard SPL.
Cheers...

HD2 keeps on asking to reboot after an update has been applied

Hi all,
1 month ago my HD2 asked that an important update was applied and that it needed to reboot.
Well, I followed the instructions and restarted it.
Since then it keeps on asking it, everyday and several times a day.
I'm running the Bouygues Telecom ROM:
ROM: 1.48.483.1 (71294) FRE date: 11/11/09
Radio: 2.05.51.05_2
Since then all my application aren't usable because they aren't digitally signed (ie TomTom or Core player)
My colleague that also has a HD2 but on Orange Network has the same issue.
But he hard reseted it, installed a new ROM, and the same issue comes back.
I've been looking around forums but I couldn't find anything about that
Does anybody has any idea?
Thanks for your help.
Regards

[Q] Help with ROM

Hi all,
I've browsed through all topics I've found on ROMs for Mozart and I'm confused with mine. I've bought mine unlocked from Hong Kong. Here's what I get from device:
firmware revision number: 2250.09.12803.707
radio software version: 5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U
Bootloader version: 1.28.2250.3(113810)
It looks like I have quite fresh version (1.28) though it has awful gradient rendering and I'm stuck with only English (US) keyboard...
Is there ROM I can flash (or safely try flashing) on my phone to get European set of keyboards and better gradients?
Thanks in advance!
uprom = goldcard
Interestingly enough while using PSAS I've got CID that started with 01 and the rest was just zeros. That was WinMo 6.1 Samsung that I used to get the CID. And in fact it reported CIDs for what I believe are internal partitions while flash card and its own internal storage showed this 01000... thing. So I went with what I had and passed it to PSAS goldcard generator and it gave no errors. Now I wonder if I should try to flash with this card. Will it just give an error in the beginning before flashing anything if it's unacceptable or will I potentially get in trouble?
ok, so I'm impatient guy and I just tried - when started, it showed update screen for some time. then it rebooted and showed the update screen again. then after a while it has written OK against everything (MOZAIMG.nbh, RADIO, BOOTLOADER, OS, RCUST) and reposrted that Update Complete | UPDATE SUCCESS. Will try to detach it now
Yay! I long-pressed power button to shut device down and started it normally and now I have my euro-mozart. thanks everyone for posting great info on goldcard flashing for wp7!

Stock rom not working

Dear XDA Developers community,
my father recently gave me his old HTC HD2. It had its factory default stuff. I wanted to download some apps and play around with it, so I downloaded some apps from the marketplace. As soon as I downloaded a free Sudoku game, and ran it, the phone stopped responding. I tried to do a soft reset, but the phone did not respond either (it was stuck at the menu).
Now, I may have done an error: I removed the battery, instead of performing a Hard Reset. When I turned it on, it started rebooting in a loop, being stuck always at the HTC white welcome screen.
I decided for a Hard Reset. Well, it always gets stuck at the bootloader screen (the screen with the 4 colors).
So, I researched a bit, and found out, you can return to its stock ROM, eve with a stuck bootloader.
Well, I downloaded many old ROMS (the Rom before the problems was a 1.66 one), and ran the RUU through USB. But it always gave me a Incorrect vendor ID error (I think it was 194), so the update would always stop at 1%.
I even tried a 1.43 ROM.
I tried many WWE version Roms, but they don't seem to work. My father bought the phone on Amazon US, with no special contract or phone lock, so I guess it has to be a WWE, so I don't know why the RUU says it's incorrect.
I have seen other threads that have some similarities, but my exact same problem has not been addressed.
I would be very happy if you could help me, since I do not want to spend any money on repairs which I could probably perform with help of the community
I would be most glad to give more information if needed.
Many thanks in advance.
Edit:
The issue was resolved by installing HSPL4 on it, and then using a WWE 1.66 ROM on it! Silly me for not trying that earlier!
glad you sorted it, , to explain why it wouldnt work, you were not using the correct rom for that phone.
Your first clue would be the 'invalid vendor id'. An 02 phone (for example) will only take o2 roms, a tmo phone tmo roms, a voda phone, voda roms. Only unbranded phones take pure wwe roms, so for example
ruu leo htc wwe 1.66.405.2
see it says HTC in the filename? its for unbranded (not sold by a network) hd2s only.
I guess you have a branded one. (even if its been unlocked, the rom lock always remains, which is why we have hspl)
Incidentally, you only had trouble because you initially flashed from sd card, and step 1 in teh sd card flash is hspl gets removed, the phone restarts to continue flashing but because hspl is now gone, it fails. Had you flashed from usb teh first time, it would have worked.

Thanks for the answer Samuel. I got the phone to work again, and I even loaded NAND Android from the DFTeam.
Although the ROM runs just perfect and I love it, now my Volume Up key has stopped working.
I could not post on the Development section, so I guess I won't bother anyone, and will just post it in this thread.
It is a minor issue, but it's still is annoying. I found on the forums problems with the key with other models, but not with the HTC Leo.
Maybe someone has heard of this. Again, thanks in advance!
