HD2 T8585 with 320 MB RAM. Enable 576 MB is possible?

Hi guys,
i have a pre-release of HTC HD2. In the hardware settings i notice that i have 320 MB (RAM size).
Actually i have the duttys ROM and i would like to know if there's a possibility to enable the 576 MB (RAM size).
If yes how is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

Well I would also like to know that on T8585 can we enable the 576MB RAM..!!!
Thanks..!!!

Nic:
What RAM does it say in 'Hardware information'?

Hi,
RAM Size=320MB (Hardware information).
Actually i installed the radio 2.08 and the Duttys ROM.
Thanks in advance

and what it shows now after inistllation of the dutty and the radio is it still 320

I have a t8585 (O2 hd2) with 448Mb RAM (after installing some stuff).

Hi guys,
after the installation of "Duttys_LEO_Sense_2.5_5.2.23544.5.5.0_2.10_HG_Ultimate_Radio_2.08.50.8.2_V1.1_WWE" i have in the hardware information always 320MB (RAM Size).
So i'm thinking that it's not possible to unlock hidden memory (if there's), in my model (i have a pre-release of HD2).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks again

A Pre-Release?
Also there are guides on how to obtain the full RAM.

I have the same device T8585 with 448 MB Ram - on the hardware info page -
But it seems to work with only 336MB Ram on the Task Manager page :/

I haven't found anything that solves the situation.
I tried many ROMs (with 576 enabled), but i always have in the hardware information 320MB (RAM Size). So if you know some link, documents, ROM, please send me detail.
Thanks in advance.

Alright stock hd2 should have 448 ram on it no matter what, i had rom 1.43 and i had 448mb ram now im using Energy's rom and i have 576 ram flashed alot of other roms with 576ram enabled and i havent got any probs.
Be sure to flash the correct Radio/Rom cuz from what ive read on the forums only a few radio's enable 576mb ram hope this helps xD

I have the following situation (Software Information)
OS version: 5.2.21895 (21895.5.0.90)
Manila version: 2.5.20121412.1
ROM version: Dutyys HG Ultimate V1.1 WWE
Radio Version: 2.08.50.08_2
Protocol version: 15.34.50.07U
Resuming i installed the Duttys ROM that contains all the features for the 576MB enabled but in the Hardware infromation i always have 320MB (RAM size).
Thanks

Humm considering the rom u have and radio it should show u 576mb ram really strange.
Try flashing another rom with ram enabled to test it, if not mayb its just not showing it but the ram is actually enabled
and use MTTY(u can find the sticky in Rom Dev thread) between flashing so u have a clean base.

I have tested many ROMs that says 576MB enabled but the result was always the same (320MB in RAM Size).
Thanks

may be you need to upgrade it to 448 first then to 576 , try this

There is no upgrade to 448 as this is the standard. If you really got the pre-release some users could see in early videos of the HD2 then this is a hardware-issue which can not be fixed/improved. Only chance i see is to contact HTCs RepairService and ask if a physical upgrade is possible and what it would cost... Sorry Mate
BTW: Where did you get that pre-release ?

Elburna,
after many ROMs installed i think that the only solution is to contact HTC and ask if a physical upgrade is possible.
Thanks

The reason to that your only seeing 320/336MB of ram is because HD2 uses 128MB for graphics/graphical acceleration.
So 320+128=448
But if there is a way to further increase the amount of ram to 576MB even if you bought the 448MB edition then i would like to hear about it to!
EDIT: LOL, found just seconds after writing this post that you can flash the newest 2.10 Radio ROM to enable 576MB, but i think that you'll have to install a new Custom ROM to make use of the 576MBs . But you will still have 128MB of the 576MB used to graphics. But there might be custom rom that enables full usage of the 576MBs.

I got an HTC Pro Three too, the pre release version of HD2.
So you mean, this device has 448mb too? its just that 320MB is the allocated RAM to the user, and the 128MB are for graphics? that's odd, because currently with the latest Artemis ROM, i do have maximum of 60 to 65MB of free RAM available (this rom has the highest free ram i have ever tried) which limits my device's activities, i can't do multi taking that much.
So with the 448MB HD2 (official), there is also a hidden RAM of 128MB so that it can be unlocked and make use all (576MB) of the 128MB, which i assume is also dedicated for graphics. ( 448 + 128 = 576MB ).
I think that these two devices are different in terms of RAM (HD2 and the pre release of HD2).
For the HD2, hacking the ROM and using 2.06, 2.07 and 2.08 (2.10) radio versions will make the 576MB free to the user, thus eliminating the rom to dedicate the 128MB to graphics.
While for the HD2 Pre Release (HTC Pro Three), has a total of 320MB of RAM, 128MB is dedicated to the video and hidden from the user. I would like to think also that the radio versions mentioned above will be able to unlock the hidden 128MB, but IMO, there should be a different rom hack for this HTC Pro Three, as the hack applied on the HD2 (448MB ) won't apply here.
Any tips from the cooks how to make the rom for hd2 (448mb) 576MB ram compatible? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

T-Mobile Rom Question

I just want to know if all these roms work for Tmobiles Hd2. I am new to Windows Mobile thanks.

No, they will not until a proper HSPL is released... not really a question of the ROM working but a question of being able to get ROM onto phone.

It depends wether or not you mean a US T-mobile or a Regular T-mobile HD2.

Stock style ROM with 576 RAM ???

Hi im just looking for a rom which essentially is the same as the latest stock vodafone uk ROM but with the 576 RAM or something as close to possible as stock ROM but with the extra RAM. Does this exist? I have been hunting around but they all seem to be majorly different. Or can anyone make a rom based on the Vodafone ROM but with the the 576RAM unlocked?
Thanks

2.10 base: 576MB RAM, US version
1.66/1.72 base: normal RAM, European version
So you have to decide between more RAM or your UK ROM base.

Ok so what would be the main differences if I have the US based 2.01?
I am currently on 1.66. I plan on using SSPL by bepe to do the ROM upgrade which i beleive means i dont need to worry about radios?
I wouldnt mind the US based 2.01 if it performed and looked like a stock HTC ROM. I guess if I used the US ROM I wouldnt have the operator settings for MMS etc?
Thanks

Flash CleanEX ROM...it has 576mb of RAM Enabled, and it super fast! flash CleanEX HQ4.01 if you love WM6.5, and HyperROM or DsE ROM if you prefer WM6.5.x

thats not what it means.
Flashing with sspl means you cant change the radio, because sspl isnt able to flash radios. So, if you choose to flash a rom that opens the 576, you wont get it anyway because you will still have your stock radio.

Why would the stock radio prevent the unlocking of the 576 RAM sorry Im abit of a novice at all this? So is what Im after impossible?
My concern with changing the radio is I wont choose the right one. I was hoping for a simple way of increasing the RAM because as it stands the phone gets bogged down quite easily and it doesnt matter wat tweaks and programs utilities I use the phone runs at 50+% RAM and I have many soft resets during a day. My Touch Pro didnt run anywhere near this high and I use very similar programs now as I did when I had that phone.
cheers

first of all id like to point out the extra ram makes close to no difference
you need a certain rom/radio combination in order for it to be enabled you don't need to know the details.
just download hspl2
go to the rom development thread and pick one you like with the 576mb ram patch enabled
read which radio is compatible with the rom and voila
UPDATE
by the way vodafone have actually released the latest vodafone uk rom 1.72 so you may want to take a look at that before you go through this process

As i said i am new to this but keen to learn, with the reference of it makes no difference using 180mb of 448 = 40% being used compared with 180mb of 576 = 31%, pretty big difference? ----Is the RAM shared with the program memory as I only seem to have 336mb RAM available?
Thanks for the advice on the latest voda update literally only put up the other day I will give it a try I need to hard reset whatever as something is causing a service.exe error when I boot.
I still wouldnt mind having the extra RAM just havent found a ROM out there by anyone else that hasnt been completely changed from the standard HTC style.
Again thanks for help

you only show 336 because the graphics chipset takes 128.(and so when you do unlock the 576 your useful ram will show 448.
you must change the radio because the unlock only works with rom and radio from the tmous range of roms (or cooked roms based on the tmous roms)
if you don't have a tmous phone then you have no worriesabout flashing radios.they will all work on your phone.(only ones with .50. in the version will unlock ram) it won't affect your phones ability to connect to your provider at all.
oh and the extra ram is nice but not at all needed.it's difficult to utilize what there is already.

hmmm well seems like i have the duff radio:
Os version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manilla: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
Radio:2.06.51.07
Protocol:15.30.50.07U
If its hard to utilize whats available why does mine run at 50% RAM all the time and open a couple of programs to run in the back ground (e.g. facebook, opera, calculator) it goes to like 70% and then get really slow. My touch pro was never like that
Im not having ago im just frustrated, i thought the HD2 was going to be a massive step up in performance.

adding more ram only speeds things up if you are currently running at 100%
say you have 1gb ram and it runs at 50% used. you add another gig, nothing will change except now it will run at 25% used. it won't run faster.
more ram means doing more, not doing the same thing faster.
why do you say your radio is duff? what doesn't it do that you think it should?
no problem.you SHOULD query everything. its all very well being given the answer, but if you understand it too then so much the better!

I need some help

First of all I`d like to say HELLO to everyone from here and that i like the work all you guys have done here .
Now i have my Htc HD2 for some time now and i would like to customize it a bit , i start to notice that my device is running slowly and it is outdated , i never update anything beside the htc official updates for music stability , messages and stuff like this but never a ROM or something like that , but i have installed flash and net frame work 3.5 i also use for like 2 weekes task x manager but it wan`t working as it should be with my manila, i often get an error on that with "manila.exe".
Here are my specs:

So here is what i want to do , i want to update it with the official last Htc released ROM i also like to mention that is a NDL phone , that is where i have it , but I am living in Romania.
So i want to update to the last official Htc Rom , and add the latest Radio , or which is the best . I also like to know if it is something that i could do to make HTC`s messages tab work faster , is very slow , and i use it a lot like 100 messages per day and is annoying to wait sometimes it freeze.
I also like to know if i can create in Start menu folders and how i can put the shortcuts in it if posible.
And last but not least is anyone got a good set of application and game *(free of course) , or you cold just tell me what are you`re favorite application.
And one more thing actually two, i want to enable the 576 ram or how many they are , and can I use Tmodus rom om my htc (Is not a t mobile htc ...)
Thanks and sorry for my bad English...

I know is not nice but i really need help at least with radio my phone loses signal sometimes and I can`t use it until I remove ... the sim card ... and wait like 10 minutes

Firstly you would need to use hspl to be able to have a custom rom which you need to enable the extra RAM my friend take a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477

so I can`t use an official rom and have the 576 ram ? and one more thing , if my phone is from NDL can I put after the hspl any rom on it from any country ?

the first part no only custom ROM's have 576mb enabled im afraid so you would need to do it that way,
after hspl you wouldn't bother flashing stock roms from other countries mate you would see the brilliant custom roms and get addicted

what about tmodus rom or something like that i saw that the ROM version is somewhere at 2.x beside the 1.x on the official ones, and it also enabled the 576 ram on it .
But i saw somewhere If i change the radio i`ll get 576 so isn`t possible , sorry dude i`m kinda noobis and thanks for you time

the HD2 from the USA is a diff spec to the Euro which you and I have, where as we stock have 448mb ram and 512rom the usa one's are different, but near enough all custom ROM's all work with every phone,

That's the latest version of WinMo you can get anyway (in firmware that is), and have you even bothered doing ANY reading whatsoever? There are dozens of 'what is my HD2' threads, it's not at all difficult to understand. When you say 'Vodafone, AT&T' etc. those are just the carriers.

afaik there are two versions of the HD2. One EU version which has 576mb ROM/RAM and a Tmobile US version with 1024mb RAM/ROM.
EDIT: this is incorrect

EU HD2 has 512Mb ROM, and TMOUS has 576Mb RAM, i.e the only difference between the two is the ROM, not RAM.

I think the story's the same with the TMOUS one. From what I understand the radio version which originally came with the EU HD2 limited it to 448Mb RAM but the later WinMo official ROMs used the TMOUS .50 radio enabling full RAM access. The hardware in this respect was the same for both of them, it was just a software limit. However, I may well be wrong as I never had to change my radio so please correct me if this is the case, I don't want to be spreading incorrect information to people
@OP You don't need to worry about any of this by the way, it's largely for the benefit of my own understanding

You have the latest version of Windows mobile installed and Asian and European models are the same, just T-Mobile US models are different.
Your Radio is supporting 576 MB RAM and your carrier may branded the phone.
You can find out about it if it's branded to look at the Start Menu, look at the boot screen logo because its a tipycal type of customisation of the HD2. Vodafone and T-Mobile has a massive amount of customisation on the Software, if you can not find anything in Start Menu neither the boot screen is standard HTC than that means you phone is unbranded and it is not carrier dependent on software.

TMOUS needs dedicated RAM too, but available RAM depends on (for both models): SPL version, Radio version and ROM version. In wrong combinations only about 300 MB are for user, older EU HD2 had 448 MB, but with latest version of SPL. Radio and ROM it has 576 MB available just like TMOUS version.
