Difference between TMO and other versions of HD2 - HD2 General

I have a TMO version of HD2.
I notice there are separate forums in ROM sections for the TMO version.
Why is that? Is the TMO version different in hardware? I have flashed it to EnergyRom after HSPL, is reckon it should not be TMO any longer, or am I wrong?
Can I use the other ROMs instead of the TMO cooked ones?

You will need to flash a rom that has a compatable radio for the T-mobile version sense the Euro version doesnt have the 1024 mb unlocked. If you flash a Euro rom to it you will have a very nice brick.
Not all ROMs are compatible with 1024LEO, including old official ROMS.
Official 1.42 and 1.66 WON'T WORK on LEO1024, because there is no 1024 NAND memory support.
All custom ROMs which ARE NOT BASED ON 2.08+ T-Mobile ROMs WON'T WORK ON 1024LEO.

HD2 T-Mobile USA and flashing Roms

Hello all and pardon my ignorance.
I will be getting the HD2 next week and I have some questions..
1-Can I do HSPL with US version with same instructions in this forum ?
2-Can I do Roms of LEO to US version ? or eventually they will develop US rom versions ?
Thank you all in advanced.
You can't run HSPL as the US HD2 has SPL 2.xxx on it - you need SPL 1.42 to use HSPL

tmob us stock rom is the best
is it really? all id seen so far is how much ram it uses up
just to build off of his question, when HSPL 2 IS released, will Tmobile USA HD2's be able to use the same cooked ROMS that are available now? Or will there be special versions specific to the Tmobile USA version?

no, any rom will work.
i have tried everything
none of the hspl1 or 2 or sspl work with tmo usa hd2 as of yet....it probably has to do with the diff in memory also worried about how the hspl's and cooked roms with use the new memory allocation with the usa version???

Can you use T8585 HD2's custom ROM with TMobile HD2?

Provided that the rom you want to use is the 576MB RAM one? I realize that the amount of ROM is different between the two models, but will that alone cause incompatibility between the ROM for the two models?
Thanks for any reply!
The biggest thing you have to watch for is the base and radio...if you're using a US T-Mobile HD2 you must use a ROM with a base of 2.XX (as opposed to 1.XX)...and you also don't want to use a ROM with a radio built in other than 2.08...
the answer is, , not sure. Certainly if it is to work it must be a 576 enabled rom, and the radio must be right, , , , if you're brave enough, do post back and let us know. (I wouldn't till i knew for sure)
Dont forget that when you say t8585 roms, many of the cooked roms are actually based on the tmo 2.1 rom.
Its mainly the radio that you have to take care about, which may brick your device.
Its better not to flash a ROM with radio included in it.
Don't flash any Radio especially those available in T8585 forum.
In other cases, it may be showing less RAM or less ROM only with some ROMs if they are not compatible.

Confused - What is the LATEST Shipped ROM out there???????

This link: http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html shows the latest Shipped ROM being Leo 2.10.
That's strange, the XDA WIKI doesn't show such shipped rom with such version!
So I am totally confused here.
Currently I have this ROM installed : Worldwide 1.66.405.2
(RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe)
But I am wondering if there is a MORE RECENT SHIPPED ROM than that?
And what are the enhancments. Any new programs or stuff in it?
Seems ROM 1.66.405.2 which I have is quite old, didn't HTC release anything newer and improved / better performing after that ?
Would appreciate you guys replies.

ROMs for TMob USA devices come with a 2.xx version - this base is frequently used by chefs for cooking custom ROMs.
European and ROW HD2´s (as of today) are still at 1.6x/1.7x (depending on the area where the device is bought).
As you are not really more specific about some key details, this is the best answer I can give.

Hey, thanks alot for the reply, I appreciate it.
My current ROM as I wrote is WWE 1.66.405.2. No language specific.
I am just wondering if using the 1.7 or 2.10 have improvments in terms of speed, bug fixes or functionality over the WWE 1.66.405.2 which I currently have. Or maybe they would actually make my device more 'T-Mobilish' giving a bunch of non usefull stuff and overhead.

Hey mate I think it goes like this, TMOUS and EU ROM's only differ in whats for your device, so you are expressing you use 1.66 meaning you have a European base on you phone so the highest in the base 1.xx is what your searching for. As for whether the latest is the best that's another question I cant answer.

If you don't have a TMOUS device, so you better not install a TMOUS ROM, due to radio and SPL differences.
i think 1.72 based (official) ROMs could have some improvements over 1.66, but mainly they are the same... only 1.72 are released a bit later for branded devices (1.72 ROMs carry the 1.66 SPL).

Thanks. I saw some snapshots of HD2 Running newer ROMs (I think above 2.0) and they had another home tab called 'Documents' I would call this is a good improvement over the 1.66 I have which doesn't have Documents tab. So I guess that the 2.0 (Tmobile ??) Roms are more improved. Pitty Euro versions don't have that. But since you warned against putting t-mobile US rom on a european device I will just wait.

some custom roms, that run very well on non TMOUS devices (all over the world) do have the document tab incorporated (see my signature )
all the roms and radios, regular and tmous, cooked or ship, will work just fine on the normal hd2. its only tmous users that can't flash our roms, we can flash theirs.
the 1.7 rom seems to be just 1.66 with the updates already applied.(though i'm no expert on that)

Wow it's pretty cool, why is the Telstra version always more compatible and in the HD case it was reported to be much more stable, is it because it is released 6+ months after US?

ermm, , , us version came out way after telstra, telstra is identical to euro/asia hd2, All roms will work on any spl on telstra and euro.
you are on 1.42.hspl because hspl2 doesnt work on telstra, nothing to do with stability or compatibility. if anything its less compatible than the euro/asia, cos teh euro can take all spl and all roms, including tmous, everything.

Yes I noticed after that it meant the Euro was still more compatible, which indeed was the first release? Then to AUS and then to US. Yes sorry I was thinking of the HD which was much delayed.

Do these Android and WM6 ROMs work on the T-Mo version?

I just realized the T-Mo HD2 has a separate for it. So do these ROM's and mods work on the T-Mo verison? There doesn't seem to be nearly as much stuff in the T-Mo forum as in this one.
you can flash any ROM but you must check if it's compatible with Tmous. it doesn't matter if your device is T-mobile or non tmobile or unlocked, Android run on all of them as long as you have the proper radio/rom
How can i figure out what Radio I need to have on it to make it compatible?
Probably a **.50.** Radio not 51 . Although I don't own a Tmous Device so I'm NOT SURE .. you better do your own researches on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787 ..

Besides that one 2.15.50.xx gave a lot improvement for ppl who use Android (such as myself hihi)...
I am using Energy 3.14 GTX 2.5 ROM - works fine

Change HD2 with TMOUS HD2?

I will change my HD2 with TMOUS HD2 one. What do you think about that? I am from Eastern Europe, is this a problem?
Is there enough Android and WM6.5 ROMs for T-Mobile version.
Is it worth the whole, this change?
512MB ROM more
Yes it is worth the change as just about all, if not all, Android ROMs will run on the TMOUS. And most custom ROMs now are based on the 3.14 stock TMOUS ROM. I absolutely love my TMOUS. Just remember you can not flash a 2.04.50.xx, 2.05.50.xx, or any x.xx.51.xx radio to the TMOUS or you will brick the phone. So never ever flash a non T-Mobile stock ROM to it. Also do not flash the 2.01 ROM in the T-Mobile HTC HD2 test and stock ROM thread here on XDA to it as it has a 2.05.50.11 radio and will brick a TMOUS.
Are the Android builds for T-Mobile HD2 better than regular HD2?

You must know more about it then mecause I am notaware of any Android ROM that is spacificaly for the TMOUS. If it is please pointmy tothem and I will try them out. I currently am using Hyperdroid on my TMOUS and it is great. I went withHyperdroidas I did stood bit of reasearching on the Android ROMs and thought Hyperdriid sounded best to me, now that was just my opinion not a definitive statement. I have a link to it in my sig if youwantto check it out. Nowasfor your question most of the Android ROMs run great on the TMOUS fromwhat Ihave read. I am also member of the T-Mobile forums and every one therethathas went NAND Android loves any Android ROM they try.
