[Q] HD2 Radio troubles - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have just purchased a second hand HD2 (Telstra Aust. stock) however it already had a custom rom on it (which i didnt like). I have been trying to install a new energy rom i can get the rom on and work except i cannot make any calls, I know the problem is the radio i have tried to install a new radio and when i go through the install stage it gets stuck on 0% and nothing happens. Im not sure which radio to use. The rom i want is: Energy.Leo.29007.sense2.5.Dec.7
My HD2 software details are:
OS version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila version:2.5.19211619.0
Rom version:1.48.405.2 (71294)WWE
Radio:2.05.51.05_2
Protocol version: 15.28.50.07U
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Switch phone off. Then while holding volume down button in, switch on the phone (keep holding vol down). The phone will boot into a multi-coloured screen. What spl version is displayed in the text showing?
You are correct about it being a radio problem. You have a .51 radio instead of the required .50 as explained in the Energy thread.

spl
im running 2.08.0000

Just download HSPL3 and replace your SPL2.08 to HSPL2.08
Then download EnergyROM and flash.
Make sure your RADIO is 2.08.50 and above. I prefer the 2.15.50 RADIO, but that is just me.

Thanks I will give that a go.

thnx man got it working just fine

What does a Radio:
The Radio OS is Linux and run in a signed or crypted EFS. Its the main device driver are only stored and config in it! All functions about Wifi, GPS, 3D Acceleration, Blue Tooth, OS Key Mapping, USB, and Audio are handle in the Radio and NOT in the OS!!! The OS have only bridge Drivers to connect to the Radio. What config is in use, are handle via device PID in the NAND.
This is the reason, why some Radios save Power and other have better signal strange! Signal strange is more Country ID related and power saving more related to Protokoll Version.
If you are stuck in the bootloader, download MTTY, connect via USB (Activ Sync must disabled via USB!!!) and type the Command "boot"
Please tell me ... are HardSPL or USPL installed or do you use SSPL ak JumpSPL? how is the radio rom version, you have try? winxp or vista?
so which is the latest and what are the differences ??
Highest Version are the newest ... whats differents ... HTC knows :-> 1.58.21.23 was in the lastest Radio Rom from HTC.
OIC, I updated the Radio rom.... but.. something freaky had happen....
My touch Flo menu which shows 6 box , email, sms/mms, internet, task, comm manager, calender.. is missing the internet button. only 5 show.. and the internet button is blank(black).

Forget my question... after a hard reset.. it came back out................
make a hard reset

Hi, can you explain to me how to flash radio rom ?
What I need ?
Thank you
Your Device must CID Unlocked. You can do this with HardSPL, USPL or SSPL. After that you are can flash a Radio Rom, but you doesnt need it in the moment! Possible after i Release a higher Version!

How to go back to 1.6.10

Hey guys,
I attempted to go back to 1.6.10 and without any success.
Ended up getting stuck at the HTC screen.
Had to reload 2.0.0
I am trying to go back to the last version which didn't have any
audio driver problems and allowed me to use the FM transmitter.
It's more important for me than the GPS, plus I like the Threaded SMS cab better than 6.1.
If the official version will have the normal drivers than I will upgrade.
Thanks for helping me go back to 1.6.10 - i need some suggestions.
Start at post #623 in the 1.6.10 thread.
here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1920135#post1920135
1st, Get the SPL unlocker 1.20 and overwrite your SPL 2.40 with it.
Next, Get the 1.40 Radio ROM and overwrite your current Radio ROM.
Finally, Update to DCD 1.6.10 ROM.
If your device freezes at the splash(logo) screen.. Press and hold POWER, CAMERA and RESET buttons. It will take you back to boot loading screen (tri-color display).
If you get stuck at the boot loading screen.. Get the Titan_Exitbl.exe.
Make sure you disabled the USB connection in the ActiveSync, before you launch the Titan_ExitBl.exe.
Thanks.
Thanks guys for the quick replies.

Most stable radio for o2 mini S and how to upgrade it?

Hi,
I have this wizard for couple of years.
It works fine but sometimes looses connection with GSM (became unavailable).
The bad joke is that I do not know about it (signal indicator shows good signal and others are ok).
At the moment I'm using the following firmware:
ipl 2.21.0001
spl 2.21.0001
gsm 02.07.10
os 2.21.4.1
WM5
I think the first possible solution is to upgrade radio.
Which version works most stable? Where is it? How to reprogram it without hard reset and reflashing all device (too hard to backup and reinstall all the software)?
Thanks.
Oleg.
Check out 'XDA-Wiki' you'll find all the Radio Roms listed there.
Its very simple to flash and upgrade Radio Rom,just hook up the phone with pc via usb cable and run the RUU in the Radio Rom,it'll hardly take a couple of minutes to flash.

I've found 2.71 with RUU_GO.exe
Is it the file to run? Is it suitable for 'operators' phone (G4)?
Can I be sure that nothing will happens with the current apps and data?
All Radio Roms are safe to flash to any device,G3 or G4,it just flashes and upgrades the GSM files and nothing else is changed or effected,it doesn't have any IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) in it.None of your personal data or application will get effected.
The most stable and commonly used Radio rom is considered to be is 2.19.11 and 2.69.11.But everyone have their own experiences,it all depends which suites you the best.
Hi,
thank you!
you were right about simplicity
last time (couple years ago) it was much more tricky to reprogram all rom
just flashed 2.69 radio and will check it's stability
i have 3.02... radio on a g4

My updated [3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE] HTC HD2 loves to hang or restart

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.

448RAM not 576RAM

My ultimate goal is to put Gingerbread on my phone Via the NAND Method.
I am starting with the latest version of the windows ROM from the HTC website for 02.
First I added HSPL3 to my phone so when I hold the VOL Button and Power I load to HSPL screen with version 2.08.HSPL. I presume this is correct.
Now I upgrade the radio to 2.08.50.XX I still only have 448RAM, how do i get this to 576RAM so i can install MAGLDR 1.11
You do not actually need the 576 in order to flash to Android, you only need to have a radio that enables the 576. In order to actually get it to show you need the correct radio together with a rom that "unlocks" the extra ram. As long as you have 2.08.hspl and a 50 series radio of at least 2.08.50 then you're good to go. You also should head over to the correct forum before someone flames you (ie this one is for winmo ). Refer to the link in my signature on Flashing NAND Android roms and you will get all of the necessary steps there.
not exactly true... you need to have HSPL and correct Radio to enable 576MB RAM - SPL3.03 that comes with 3.14 ROM doeas not enable 576MB RAM - I have tried that.
(Same Person was borrowing Stephiepea account to post my question)
Cheers Clyde for the help, i'm obviously a Newb when it comes to this. I tried to install MAGLDR 1.11 to my phone by your method and once it completed on my phone it rebooted but not to the boot loader, it just loadedto the O2 boot screen and stayed there didn't even boot to windows mobile again.
Daekin can you give me in laymans terms what HSPL and Radio I NEED differently to the ones I indicated in my first post.
I've also tried loading a custom "Energy" Rom then tried loading MAGLDR and again it boots to the NRG sting and stays there. please someone help. ive been trying for days.
Incase it helps when I boot to HSPL my screen info is
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
Try MAGLDR 1.12 and the included latest radio (2.15.50.14).
1. Connect by USB to the PC.
2. Hold down volume button and power up to get in 4 color screen, make sure it says USB at the bottom.
3. Flash the new radio.
4. Hold down volume button and power up to get in 4 color screen, make sure it says USB at the bottom.
5. Flash MAGLDR.
6. Hold the powerbutton down to enter MAGLDR.
7. Choose option 5 to USB flash a ROM (by using volume down button again).
It worked for me, I've also 2.08HSPL.
For the MAGLDR and radio check your PM.
GL!
Thanks Eric,
I havn't recieved anything via PM but I downloaded MAGLDR 1.12 and the same happens. I get stuck on the O2 Splash screen.
things i've tried:-
HSPL3 - Tried to install this, I get The success message apear on my PC but not the we hacked it message on my phone, is this because I already had a HSPL on my phone.
I've tried multiple radios with .50 which shoul alow the 576MB RAM but my phone never shows this only the 448MB RAM in the Device infomation.
After both the above, my phone boots back to windows.
then I try MAGLDR once it completes I boot to the O2 Splash screen and never progress to the bootloader or windows, even if reboot and hold down the power button.
Hmm, that doesn't sound well.
Maybe you can try to flash with a custom WinMO rom first, like Energy.
I had the Energy Rom installed before I used MAGLDR.
You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
I think it should also flash with the 4 color bootscreen connected to USB.
After flashing a custom rom try to flash with MAGLDR again.
Hope it works, GL!
edit: I don't know if mine says 576 ram, because I don't know how to check that in WP7, which s*cks anyway.
Any STOCK ROM with a .50 Radio will NOT enable the 576MB RAM
You need a CUSTOM ROM (576MB trick enabled) with a .50 Radio to enable the 576MB RAM

Wrong! sorry guys i had to jump in here because there is some crap advise being given.
First off the latest wwe (not o2 branded) does enable the extra ram (as do all tmous roms). Where do you think radio 2.15.50.14 came from? secondly AFAIK (and i could be wrong here and i haven't checked it) magldr wipes the nand chip when it is installed therefore all you will ever see after a magldr install is the boot splash unless you reboot the phone and then install wp7 or android (wm6.5 is not yet supported but will be in magldr 1.13)
What the op has done up until he expected windows to boot was good. All he needs to do is install magldr 1.12, reboot holding down the power key and then follow the instructions for installing android to nand.
Handily, using google, i found this link. That should sort you out. I also found this video. Half of what comes out of his mouth at the start is rubbish but the actual steps are good.
