I'm thinking of upgrading my Rom as it's unlikely o2 Ireland will do it any time soon. I have 1.43.206.4 WWE on my phone. I was thinking of sticking with the official HTC rom's ....could someone advise me as to which version should I install...most stable etc.
I really appreciate any help. I was going to install it using SSPL_RUU...would this be the best way?
Cheers
Tony
I would advise to run http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
HSPL would be a better option in my humble opinion, that way u wont need to SSPL each time if u wanna swap ROMs and/or update versions.
U can always revert back to stock without voiding ur warranty by flashing stock ROM from SD card if needed

Hi Guys, Loving the forums,
My first post, please be gentle!
I've searched but can't find how to flash my HD2.
If i flash will I lose my warranty with t mobile? (got it on t-mobile upgrade) If so is there a way of getting old rom back on there without them knowing i did anything? Is the t mobile rom openly available?
Whats the advantage with flashing?
Will I lose all settings when I flash? Cos it took be ages to tweek it!
I have 1.43.110.2 Rom version
Sorry for all these Q's

Yes you can

as mentioned that is the tutorial I used. I got my hd2 on t-mobile upgrade too.
lots of benefits (read about them on peoples ROMs)
and I am pretty sure it voids your warranty BUT there is a 1.4 t-mobile stock ROM floating about on here so you can always restore it if you needed to.
Don't know why I couldn't find all that info when i searched, excellent and very well done. I'mthinking of flashing it when I have problems with the stock ROM but as it is I'm pretty happy with it unles someone can recommend a ROM i can't resist!
I read about backing up stock ROM just in case I needed to send HD2 bak to t-mob in future. How do you back it up, same way as data in the tutorial?
Cheers guys, I am a noob but hopefully will pick things up quick!
Hi all
I apologise if this has been asked and answered but I can't seem to find any info on this... I am looking for the original TMobile UK ROM, I want to flash custom ROMS to my phone but want the official ROM just in case I need to return my phone for some reason..
Any help on this would be great...
Thanks

Thanks... Quick question for you, If I install HSPL and flash with a custom ROM... Then decide to go to the TMobile ROM using that ROM, will that remove the HSPL or not... I'm only asking in case I need to take my phone in for repair or something...

install hspl then flash anything you like using USB, , then if you ever need to totally factory reset, use the tmo rom you just got and flash from sd card, that will reset spl, radio and rom to factory shipped. If you flash the T Mo from USB it will not remove hspl, but it will work fine, and is usefull sometimes to 'reset' the memory between different cooked roms.
Hey Guys! so ive been having major issues with the upgrade 2.13 on my HD2.. I want to take it back to Tmobile but want to flash it to stock first...i did a hard reset several times to try and fix the upgrade..i think i just need a new phone..If someone could let me know how to flash it back id be much appreciated
read read read read read
however if you havent installed hspl, then you dont need to worry, the 2.13 is official, so as long as there is no hspl, it is still valid warranty.
Thank You! all i did was the ROM upgrade i didnt mess with the HSPL...at least not to my knowledge..sorry for all the noob questions...
no probs, every one was noob once. you can just give it back as -is if you want, since the spl is stock
thanks so much!

i've read lots of articles on this site. i suppose i'll need to instal another rom on my phone. i read a lot but i get little confused. i think first i have to instal HardSPL (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614) second i have to flash a radio and i can instal a rom. and on this page (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784) it says i don't need to flash a radio. which means that i just install hardspl and instal this rom... am i right?
can you guys help me what am i suppose to do... and which version of hardspl, radio and rom works well for me?
sory to ask lots of questions but i don't know enough about wm phones ( thanks for guides...
Hi, basic steps are
1. Backup your important data like contacts etc..
2. Its very IMPORTANT that you Flash HardSPL first before flashing any ROM (No worries,it only needs to be done once for you to enjoy subsequent custom ROMs). Version 2.08.HSPL is ok.
3. Browse the threads for a suitable "TMobile HD2 compatible ROM" or visit this link for comfirmed ROMs.
4. Perform a Hard reset after successfully flashing any of the ROMs
5. Enjoy!
i suggest u clear your schedule, get coffee, tea, drink(s) and visit This Link . It contains info and links to all the guides you can possibly need to push you and your device to a higher level. i wouldn't recommend trying android till you are very comfortable with flashing ROMs.
you dont need to worry about the radio just yet, because since you have a tmous phone, it already has a radio that will work with all tmous compatible roms anyway.
Well I'm gonna just say right now I'm not an expert or anything since I'm relatively new too. I'm just trying to help, I would however advise wait for a more experienced person to answer.
First, if you want to flash a ROM follow this guide for the TMOUS HD2's. It goes over how to do it, which ROMs are compatible and all that.
Yes, you do have to get HSPL (except I think there are methods when you don't, though that might just be for the international phones...). But to get HSPL you should probably use this. I don't know if it is the only thing that does it but it, from what I understand, is the most well known. It also keeps you from "bricking" your phone.
From what I understand the only time you have to flash a radio is if the ROM needs it, and the chefs will say if it needs a certain one or list ones that it works with on their ROM page. I think most of them support the radio that comes stock, though don't take my word for it. I would wait for someone else to confirm or re-explain this paragraph because I'm not completely for sure.
As for which ROM is right for you...well only you can answer that. They all are different and different ones have advantages over the others. You just gotta explore a little and see what looks nice. This is the list of ROMs that support the T-Mobile HD2 so stick to it. I don't know how up-to-date it is (meaning I don't know if there are any new ones or not) but stick to those, you can "brick" your phone otherwise.
I would however advise if you're new to WM phones to try out themes first. They are a lot safer and I don't think there is any chance of ruining your phone (the only reason I flashed mine is because I've done it with a different phone before and felt comfortable doing it). Don't do anything you are uncomfortable doing and understand all the risks that go into anything you do to your phone before you do them.
Sorry for the long post, just hope this helps a little.
Edit:
I just got double ninja'd

That's d spirit...You'll be amazed @ what the search function on XDA coughs up...Everything'll go well once u stick to d guides and TMobile compatibie ROMs & Radios.
i picked up this rom (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652649) but there is two options. 1) com5(c5) 2)com2(c2). i don't know what it means... and if want to install one of these roms do i have to flash a radio after installing hspl?
and what is the stock rom?
thanks again...
It looks like COM5 and COM2 are just different versions. COM5 offers more options it looks like though, but I'm not sure. Someone else can probably answer that a lot better than me. I am also unable to answer the radio question. Sorry.
As for stock ROM though, that is the ROM that came already on your HD2 when you got it.

I see u picked out Kumar's ROM...Click Here for a thread on the definitions and differences between COMs...And No, you won't need to flash a radio after installing HSPL or a custom ROM (Unless you are having problems connecting to your network in which case, u need 2 be careful 2 flash a radio known to work with Tmobile HD2).
Stock ROM is the original/default ROM which TMobile shipped with your device. Follow this guide and you can grab the stock ROM from here. The Stock ROM has to be re-flashed to your device if u ever have to return it to Tmobile as flashing a custom ROM voids your warranty. Grab useful links and watch video tutorials here.
Hope dis helps ya.

Hello people i have a HTC HD2 and i want to install android on it.
I want to start the Android Rom from the SD Card.
Is there any Chance of brick or like that?
Is it dangerous?
Is there a very good and stable Anroid Rom for HTC HD2:
And it should run very fast on HTC HD2.
Greetings from Austria
Sry for my bad english...
if u instal a sd version ther is no way u will brick ur hd2 its safe for use

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
Are you shure that there is not a brick chanche?
it's a very stable rom, its performance is better than many nand roms.
it's impossible to brick your phone when you use an sd rom
ok thx guys
there is something when u upgrade your radio to the latest one...this makes android run better but i think this means you can't seek help from Microsoft if anything goes wrong....

What? If you mean updating radio via HSPL you have two main options there:
1. Upgrade radio by flashing the latest official stock ROM thus keeping your warranty fine.
2. Flash a stock ROM via SD card if you ever need to return your HD2 which will restore original SPL.
In other words SD Android is 100% risk free and in the case of ACA at least very fast.
