Hello, i have HTC HD2 T8585 t-mobile running on ROM 1.43.110.0. Is this version also called LEO and can i load HSPL2 on it?
Also, can i load European WWE 1.66 ROM on it after HSPL2?
Pls, help i am a complete newbie...thanks
This is area is for the TMOUSA version HSPL2 was designed for that version. You have a European HD2 (T-mobile ROM is either 2.10 or 2.13 stock) so check with the other forum with the correct software that is compatible with your phone

I think you are wrong...i checked out a site that says a person who has currently installed 'stock' ROM is v1.43 and he is advised to install hspl and then 1.66 ROM
I concur, you have a Euro hd2. To be sure go to settings--about phone, and look for "Flash Size". If it says 512mb, it is a Euro hd2. US hd2's have 1024mb of flash. Either way, if it is a US hd2 and you flash a Euro rom you will brick it.
The T-Mobile USA uses 2.10/2.13. This section of the forum is for the T-Mo USA HD2 users. You will get better answers in the original HD2 section, as that is your device. This section is T-Mobile USA.

You're better off going to the orignal HD2 forum and not the T-mobile one to ask about how to get HSPL onto it as we use a different HSPL program.
Try this guide:

I don't know if it will help, but it seems like a good place to start.
You can find specific info for your device here:

Good Luck.
just for clarity the confusion arose because of this incorrect statement.

HSPL2 WAS designed for the euro leo, HSPL2_1024 is the tmous version.
Thanks Sam I was wrong on the HSPL2 naming. I usually don't venture into the European forums for fear of grabbing a ROM from there and messing up my phone. So i forgot that the TMOUS version of HSPL2 is HSPL2_1024
I have searched and searched and for some reason I can't find the answer.
I would like to try out the new WP7, but I need a radio that suports 576 of RAM.
Specs:
Stock T-mobile US
Radio 2.15.50.14
I have done nothing to the phone yet and don't want to screw it up and have my wife yelling at me. (and if I screw my phone up, trust me she will yell for days) So before I just did it I thouhgt I would ask.
And yes, I really did search before I asked. Sorry but I couldn't find the answer.
any t-mobile us radios support 576 of ram, so you are good to go.
I have a 576 MB RAM HD2 running WP7 and I am using the same Radio as you.
Just out of interest, are you sure your HD2 is not the T-Mobile 1024 MB model?
After looking I do have the 1024, So that means that I will have no issues?

wp7 works but only uses 512mb of rom...
With a TMO US HD2 you have 1024MB ROM, and 576MB RAM.
any radio above 2.08 supports 576 ram..that is why we need radio above 2.08 even to run android...............your tmous well supports this and has 576mb ram enabled...so go ahead flash hspl and android nand / wp7, enjoy
Is this true of the UK HD2 as well?
So any radio above 2.08 will support 576 RAM, even non-us tmobile versions?
Thanks a lot

Yes any 2.08 or higher Radio will enable the 576 MB of ram on a EU HD2.
will just flashing to the newer radio enable the higher ram capacity to be unlocked using the stock win mobile 6.5 rom? or does a custom rom also have to be used in conjunction with the updated radio rom?

The combination of a Radio of 2.08 or higher and a TMOUS Windows Mobile stock ROMs or TMOUS based custom Windows Mobile ROMs, or MAGLDR 1.13 enables the 576 MB of RAM.
thanks for the reply, is there any problem using the newer radio rom or the TMOUS on a UK HD2, i plan on using the phone with my UK T-Mobile carrier.
only tmous owners must be careful, our regular hd2s can take any radio, any rom. Only tmous must never flash a regular radio.
the usa hd2 work good in italy? all the roms (nand/sd/ram wm7 android and others) can be installed like the normal hd2?
is better than normal hd2? thank you
Great question, i just got fed up with my EU version of HD2 with 512 rom space, i was just thinking about getting a TMOUS version with 1024mb of rom space..
so, i am also waiting for the answer....
I'm thinking about getting an HD2 in the near future due to its hackability. I saw that there is the global HD2 (HTC branded), TMO branded, and the US Cellular one. Is there a difference? I saw a huge price difference on eBay. If so which one is best?
It depends if you want 3G with your carrier.. Each HD2 has a different 3G band so make sure that if and when you do get one that its compatible with your carriers 3G or else be stuck with EDGE
And the Tmobile US HD2 has a 1G nand while the others have 512MB.. So the Tmo HD2 has more memory, but for now its only taken advantage of with Windows Mobile 6.5... MAGLDR had to stay compatible with all the HD2 models so it only uses 512MB and then thats available to Android/WP7.. Software wise the Tmobile HD2 can not use radio firmwares that have .51 since those are for the other international Versions and using any of those radios will brick your phone and just be an expensive pile of plastic an metal
Difference between all of them
Memory (nand)
3G Frequency Bands
And in some cases Build Quality

Let iterate some here.
The International version has 512MB of flash memory (NAND memory) and 448MB of RAM.
The T-Mobile US version has 1024 MB of flash memory (NAND memory) and 576MB of RAM.
The T-Mobile (TMOUS) HD2 can not be flashed with a 2.04.50.xx, 2.5.50.xx, or any x.xx.51.xx radio version or youcwill brick it.
As for 3G you are correct in that part, but only the T-Mobile US HD2 and the Telstra T9193 HD2 (Australian HD2) are victims to not being whale to use 3G with every carrier.
MAGLDR was made compatible with the T-Mobile HD2 this making it sort of the same as a 3.14 Win Mo ROM that once combined with a 2.05.50.02 radio or a 2.15.50.14 radio it unlocks the extra 128MB of RAM in a international HD2.
Thanks for the replies. I really don't care about 3G bands here in the US (will mostly be using my HTC Incredible) and will probably use it for wifi only, but I do go to China a few times a year so I have a local sim card. I think that would make it best if I got the international version, right?
So MAGLDR is a bootloader that allows you to use Android and WP7 right? I'm not sure if I'm clear on what happens: Even though the TMOUS version has bigger NAND and more RAM the NAND can't be used in other OSs, just WM6, and the 128 MB ram in the International version can be unlocked?
Thanks for helping a noob

Yes you are right about MAGLDR it is a bootloader that allows you to boot Android or WP7 from NAND. The way MAGLDR works is it runs after the original bootloader of the HD2 so you don't lose it. MAGLDR is flashed just like a ROM and is stored in the ROM partition of the NAND memory. But MAGLDR is more than just a bootloader though. If you have not already checked it out, click on my guide linked in my sig. I give a total break down of MAGLDR and all of it's options.
If you install a NAND Android ROM or WP7 using MAGLDR it is in the NAND memory and Windows Mobile is gone. When you power on the HD2 you will see MAGLDRCfor a couple of secounds and then your ROM boots.
There is also another bootloader that is just for Android ROMs on HD2 call Cedesmiths (L]little (K)kernel or cLK that allows you to use ADB fastboot commands. Unlike MAGLDR with cLK you can charge your HD2 while it is turned off. You can actually us ROM manager with it, and PPP. Using cLK your HD2 boots striaght to the Android ROM just like a native Android device, you do not see the bootloader like you do with MAGLDR. the cLK has made the HD2 as close to a native Android device as it can be.

Let me make a correction here. You can use all of the NAND on a TMOUS Android ROM and not just 512, that's why you can flash DHD ROMs without having to have sd ext stuff on a TMOUS HD2 but not on a euro HD2, because it has more NAND.
WP7 is the only thing that basically treats your phone as if it only has 512 NAND, so for Android NAND the TMOUS HD2 is actually better.
Also tmous is ~1mm taller...
