New HTC Touch HD ROM available

A new ROM for the HTC Touch HD has been been released in Hong Kong. The update seems to address minor issues, but who knows what other goodies HTC slipped in there.
HTC says the update brings the ROM version up to 1.19.831.0 and the Radio version up to 1.09.25.14 and fixes:
* Resolves the following CSL Real-time Stock Quote & Foreign Exchange Service issues:
1. The last input box in Edit Stock cannot be selected by touch screen.
2. The stock ticker on top sometimes does not start from right to left.
3. After entering the stock symbol in the instant stock lookup, the Back button may not show on the right side.
* Fixes the font size display problem in Opera.
* Resolves the issue of getting an error when downloading songs from CSL WAP site with .m4a format.
The update is not available in other international sites yet. To see if it applies to your HD see the download page here. http://www.htc.com/hk-en/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=453

How will this rom affect the hotfix ?
If you install this rom, can you assume it includes the hotfix? if not then the hotfix cannot be installed onto this rom version AFAICT.

Remove preinstalled applications?
I just updated to the newest Hong Kong Rom for my touch HD, but now I have all the crappy CSL pre-installed program icons filling my program list. Anyway to remove these icons?

the release dt of the rom as shown in the site is 12th dec 2008 which is like almost an year old... how can it be a new release?

I found a new release ROM

did LG ever release an internal-version?
they only release major updates - don´t they?
found this:
"gri54 is the European version of gri40. While gri54 runs fine on the US Nexus S, Cyanogen will stay with US version as to eliminate any potential for errors."

HOWTO
to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)
step 1 - copy update.zip and GAPPS ADDON to sdcard
step 2 - flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)
ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)
ON PHONE - put phone in fastboot mode (power off then press lower right key and plug usb cable) and phone LED will light BLUE
step 3
- when phone is booting (FreeXperia Logo) press volume down key several times to enter recovery
- choose apply update from sdcard and select rom
- choose apply update from sdcard and select GAPPS
- wipe device
- reboot
DOWNLOAD
Look in my signature !
please don't mirror (we want to have download conunt)

Just flashed this ROM, everything looks good and working except:
- the hardware keyboard mapping is out. Alphabets are fine, it is the numbers and punctuations that is a mess. w=1 e=2 r=3 s=4 etc tried using the build-in keyboard changer but didnt help
- if I go to landscape and then back to portrait, the call, application drawer and browser shortcut which is at the bottom of the desktop will disappear. it takes a reboot to bring it back
- Tried to get the battery icon to change using UOT kitchen by uploading the apk file from the zip package but it doesn't seem to work.
so far that's it.
thanks for the effort

Donation coming your way from me
(edit: donation away!)
I have 2 questions:
1) does nandroid work in this recover?
2) My phone's a stock phone from Fido in Canada. I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. When I go to Settings > About Phone, my Build Number at the very bottom says "4.0.A.2.335"
How do I get SEMC 4.0.1.A.0.283?? I'd really like to use CM7!

Thanks for posting the link to 4.0.2.A.0.42. The previous rom link was missing.
Will this ROM work on my phone even though I've got an MK16a, and not an MK16i? I'm from Canada using a Fido phone, so I want to make sure my phone's Radio will work properly...this ROM is from the UK, so I'm not sure.
Just asking because on the Motorola Milestone, which I upgraded from, you had to select a different radio depending on which country you lived in.
Why do we even need to flash 4.0.2.A.0.42? Is CM7 not a complete ROM replacement? It is on the Milestone - doesn't matter what version you're coming from since CM7 replaced everything.
And FYI, the 10EUR donation was from me
Hope it goes to good use!

@semc rom
we need to ensure that you have the proper baseband (radio software) this is why we request an semc rom flash 4.0.2.A.0.42 has baseband 56

That would be great if you could post an SEMC update for the mk16a. One that will work in Canada
One final question: Is it possible to do a full nandroid backup prior to applying these updates, so that if I want to return to stock, I can?
I was thinking hotboot a recovery via fastboot, then take the nandroid, and then flash the SEMC update, and finally flash CM7.

The nandroid backup makes backup only of the TDs(/system,/data,etc), but it doesn't backups the kernel. As it's the same android & kernel version, it's mos probable the FXP kernel will work with the stock ROM, but I'm not sure.
Edit: I saw the Bi4ry post, and it says the stock ROM is not compatible with FreeXperia kernel.

Tried to use this instead of the official CM7 from cyanogenmod site but after boot.img it doesn't boot anymore and I can't enter CWM recovery....

Not to be rude, but... When will the FXP044 will be ready? I'm waiting for it. I used a unofficial port of CM7 on my old U20a, and it was really good, so I can't wait to try something better on my MK16a.
Also, will the update to 4.0.2.A.0.42 will be necessary anyway? Which part does the ROM would depend on it?

Follow this guide - worked at once:

(You set up a simple web-server on your machine, redirect all requests to LG to the local web-server and fools it into allowing you to flash the .kdz the usual way.)

I tried, but it doesn't work. Look at the screenshot...
I did everything like in the guide. What can I do?

You must have done something wrong in the hosts-file I think. That message should only appear if it still can contact the LG-servers. I may be wrong though.
I followed the guide, and as I said it worked.
Oh, and make sure to click "OK" in the webserver after setting the port-number, or it still listens on port 80, not 9002.

I did, the server has port 9002...
When I start lgmobile update tool, it says no internet connection, so the hosts file seems to work...

Maybe, doesn't hurt to try. I rebooted out of old habit.

No chance after reboot...
There must besomething wrong with the shttp program.

If yes, did you make a www folder inside the shttps folder and extract the dowloaded www.zip to the correct place?

Now it works and I will try to make a deodexed and rooted zip.

[ROM] [XXEMR2] 4.1.2 JB With AMR-WB (HD Voice) Support on 3Three [9Feb]

Recently a few vendors in the UK have been doing some really good deals on the Galaxy S3 on the 3 network. Because of this I have just recently picked up one.
The issue with this is, because I didn't get the phone from Three it didn't come with their branded firmware. Normally this is a good thing but in this case it wasn't. The none branded firmware hasn't got 3's modem or CSC. That meant that AMR-WB wasn't enabled and the signal strength was pretty poor.
You can check to see if AMR-WB is enabled by dialling: *#197328640#
And selecting option 8
Anyway because of this I decided to roll my own ROM.
The ROM is based on the Official I9300XXEMR2 (4.1.2) Firmware and AMR-WB is confirmed working with Three networks in Europe.
You will need to be rooted and have CWM installed to be able to flash the ROM. Due to a recent exploit that has been found this can be done really easily.
All you need to do is side load the ExynosAbuse APK then run it. This will install the SU app giving you root access to the device.
Once SU is installed go to the Play Store and install ROM Manager . This app allows you to install CWM so you can flash the ROM.

Changes made to the ROM:
I have added AMR-WB support for the 3 Network (ripped from the Official I9300XXDLJ1 3Three branded firmware)
Fully DeOdexed
Rooted
Busybox
GoogleEars
PopUpBrowser
Unbranded
Added Beats Audio *edited* for S3 + DPSManager.
Added Bravia 2 engine
Added back GenieWidget with transparent Widgets.
Added back Flash support (ripped from the Official ICS firmware)
Built in Adblocker
Faster AGPS lockons
Faster 3G speeds
Edited build.prop to include Image & Video improvements, + many other improvements.
Scripts for Zipalign, Sqlite Otimize and Permissions Fix ect. added to init.d
Removed Video Hub, Music hub (Trialware) and ChatOn
Fackebook, Twitter, Flipboard and WhatsApp are stored in data so they are easy to uninstall.

You need to rip out the original modem, csc and T9DB from the firmware that came with the phone, then flash that back onto the custom ROM.
If you download the Branded Stock firmware you will find the CSC and T9DB in the cache.img
But this ROM will work in other countries on the 3 network.

The server may of been under heavy load when you tried downloading it. If it keeps becoming an issue I could get a torrent going.
#EDIT
Got a torrent up and running now. As its using a Web seed use µTorrent on Windows or Deluge for Linux to get the best speeds.

Updated ROM to the XELL5 Firmware.

XELL5 V2
Fixed the bug with BBC iPlayer.

I9300XXELL5-3Three-V3.zip
Updated AndiP Kernel to 2.3 stable and fixed bluetooth.

Tnx MAN look awsome
does it need wipe or with out wipe

does it need wipe or with out wipe

Just Downloading the torrent now will let you know the results!
Looks good!

this rom is awsome but there is bug in notification panel how can i fix it help plz

No ypu don't need to wipe.
If the notification text is hardcoded as black in the app there is nothing that can be done.
I have made no changes to the theme.

AndiP is doing some cool changes with the new kernel including a couple of apps to change the audio and kernel settings.
Once its released as a stable release and the samsung sources are released for the hdmi, I will do another release.
I will also update the new firmwares (4.2 etc.) So they include the needed 3 network files.
So I will keep the ROM updated as needed.
But for now V3 is the final and won't be updated for awhile.
