I have a tmobile U.S. HD2. I have 576 MBs of RAM and my flash size is 1024MB. I see different ROMs that say it will work for TMOUS, but not on the 1024.
Do I have the 1024? Are there 2 different models of the HD2 in the US for Tmo?
Thanks
Afaik, there's only the 1 GB T-Mobile HD2, see Specs. Ask the ROM chef what that is about.
there is only one "tmous"with 1gb rom, however there are a fair few people using imported hd2s on t mo in the us.

I've seen posts of people unlocking their Leos to run 576MB of RAM, but that requires flashing the radio. Is there anyone with a Telstra Leo who unlocked the full amount of RAM? Also which is the best cooked ROM, because I also heard the Telstra ROM is crap?
i have telstra rom running on att in the usa,and i have the ram unlocked using the radios that unlock it, and i use xanny techs evolution.its fast,clean,pretty and i get almost 2 days of battery with email being checked every 5 min,and moderate use of phone,txts
So you're saying that the Telstra ones use the same radios as the 900/2100MHz Leos? I thought I'd better make sure.
Unlocking the 576MB RAM on HTC HD2 T9193
Thanks for asking the question. I understand that the US T-Mobile version has the 576MB RAM unlocked for their customers once the phone is released! Anyone have the method of unlocking this phone???
I'm about to buy hd2 but a shop only sells t-mobile hd2.
I'm wondering if I can use the roms for leo hd2.
You can use custom roms found here on XDA on a tmobile HD2.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
you can use MOST custom roms on the tmous.
@OP the tmous will only take roms that are v 2.x or higher, so that means none of the non tmous stock roms (which include a deadly radio anyway) and no cooked roms that are based on 1.x base roms. Read the roms thread, they generally cleary say that they are tmous compatible, most are.
Oh , thank you for good information
Then, t-mobile one is faster than international one? since it has 1 gb rom and 512 mb ram
I flash whatever ROM I find.... Since the onces that are not cmopatible with th US Version would normally have something like this at the top of the post
DOES NOT WORK ON THE US HD2 or something...
So i'll avoid those.... But it helps to read the entire post, .50 radios are compatible. any other Radio version wont work...
Just a thought.... Most rom are just that...ROMs not a combination of (ROM/Radio) like the ones issued from T-Mobile and HTC
Edit: All the HTC HD2 / LEOs are the Similar in Speed.. The only major difference is the ROM(storage) Spaced Where as the US Version had 1G all the others only have 512MB

You forgot one major factor....
If you live in USA you'll most definitely want the T-Mobile edition anyway because the international version won't give you 3G/HSPA+. That's if you plan on purchasing the data plan.
T-Mobile US 3G/H requires the 1700/2100 Frequency

no, a bigger fuel tank doesn't make a car go faster,,,, morerom just means more storage, not more speed.

Hi all, we are at a very exciting moment for the history of this excellent smartphone.
I own a HD2 European version (originally from Spanish Vodafone), and I was wondering if you think it is worth selling it and buying the T-Mous 1Gb ROM version instead.
I come to you, asking if I would have any problems (incompatibility issues) by using the US HD2 in Belgium or any other European country.
Is the additional 512mb ROM worth changing? I found out that I could probably buy the US version for the same price I would sell the European one.
As I am not sure about any potential problems that the US HD2 might have, that is why I request your input.
Thank you all in advance for all your help.
are u out of your mind
you want to change your hd2 with another damn hd2
and you are asking whether is it worth doing it or not
if u want to change your hd2 then go and buy another cool phone
like hd7 or nexus s or anything but hd2
are you really enjoing winmo 6.5 on hd2
or buggy android builds

Android builds work great on the HD2... and now we can run wp7 flawlessly. Soon we'll figure out a way to have both on our phones.
OP... since android builds most work now with apps2sd, having the extra 512mb rom isn't all that necessary. I would keep whatever HD2 gives you 3g reception in your area.

I think you did not understand what I was asking. I have an European version HD2, this means that I only have 512 Mb ROM instead of the 1Gb ROM that comes with the T-Mous one.
As said by zarathustrax, there is a possibility of running both WP7 and Android from NAND, but for that you need space and 512Mb won't cut it.
As for the 3g, is it true that the US version is not compatible with the European network?

You can still use it as a phone and get 2g speeds on data, but for 3g the tmobile US HD2 only uses 1700/2100 for 3g... I don't think any carriers in europe use those band for 3g. Thats why US users can't take a european HD2 and get 3g in US. Phones are quadband for gsm, but for 3g, they only have 2 bands each model... that's why there's 3 different models of HD2s for different parts of the world.
Also, if you do get the t-mobile US version, you would have to sim-unlock it also to use on a different carrier.

Thanks for the information, I have tanked you for this comment. I will keep my HD2 and find a way to partition the SD card in order to solve the problem and use both OS without needing to boot into one and run the other.
Regards.
Hello everyone
Here's what I know about the differences between the EU and US models of the HD2:
It's 1.5mm taller.
It's branded to AT&T.
It's got 1024MB ROM.
So what's stopping me from buying one and using it in the UK? Are there hardware limitations, like for example the baseband not working in my country?
I suppose if this device was any better than the EU version then we'd all be desperate to have one but i've never known of anyone who wanted one...
Views/thoughts/opinions welcome...
Dan
It's branded "T-Mobile" btw
It's 3g frequency operates on 1700 and 2100. Unless your carrier works on 1700 or 2100, you won't get 3g.
The reason as to why people want it, is that it has a lot of internal storage. Especially in android it is most appreciative for it eliminates the need for someone to partition their sd card to expand the amount of apps one can install to their phone.
Cheers, not much point then with A2SD.

If you by. a new one from T-Mobile it comes with a 16 GB SD card. Now. if you are going to by one from e-bay or criegslist just make sure the seller is not going to keep the 16GB SD card. you could probably find another SD card for fairly good price to if you search the web, but make sure it is a repuable site that you buy it from cause there is some sites out there selling bad and bogus ones.
Hi,
I've been using a TMOUS HD2 for nearly a year in the UK now and have had no problems at all.... To be honest, I find that the US model is great for flashing some of the newer DesireHD NAND roms, as they don't leave much space for apps on the euro version, and not all apps support a2sd.... if you get the chance, go for it,, i'm very happy!
Hi people, I'm about to buy a HTC HD2
-HD2 Tmobile version 1 Gig Rom 3G 2100mhz Euro Bands
or
-HD2 Telstra version 512Mb Rom 3G 850/2100 Australian Bands
but I have two questions to resolve:
1) If I decide to install Android, does the Telstra version (with 512mb rom) have some limitation on installing Jellybean and future versions?
2) If I decide to install WP8 (thanks to Cotulla), does the Telstra version be enough with 512mb?
Wich one do you recommend?
since wp8 will almost certainly be run from SD card (if it does get a release, , i wouldn't use it as a decisive factor in decision making,,,), and there are plenty of app2sd style options for android, plus native SD, the internal space makes very little difference really. Your main concern should be the bands that the phone operates on. Be a shame to buy one that doesn't have the right bands for 3g, because you focused on teh internal rom space and didnt check teh bands!
htc hd2 1024
i think you should buy htc with 1024 it very useful
