T-Mobile USA HD2 Rom

I've searched the Rom development forum and can't find the new T-mobile USA Rom. I've found plenty of cooked Roms but I would like to try the stock one first as I am in the US and use T-mobile. Is the Rom available and if so where?
Thanks for your help.

If you're in US, use HD2 with T-Mobile, didn't it come with stock ROM?

Call me crazy, but I didn't think it was out yet

What hes asking is is there a T-Mobile USA stock ROM, meaning the ROM that will be in the upcoming HD2 for T-Mobile USA.
But
I think a lot of custom ROMs have already, included the improvements from that ROM into their own ROMs.

use search function ,the stock was released 2 weaks ago in rom development forum (thanks to xmoo)

I'm actually curious about the reverse question: can any of the available ROMs be used with the new t-mobile HD2, considering that the radio hardware is different?

yes ofcourse rom doesnot depend on radio hardware only flash the proper radio

no the spl is different i just found this out so we will have to wait for a new hardspl in order to flash

To answer the OPs question, the ROM you want is here:

thanks. so do you flash that just like spl in the past and it lets you boot any rom from then on? or slightly different

SSPL (soft secondary program loader) is a temporary way to allow your phone to flash custom roms only (not radios). This doesnt give your phone the protection that HardSPL gives you.
have a read and start on post 4, theres loads of into

Unfortunately guys, SSPL and HSPL both don't yet work for the US T-Mobile HD2.... We have to wait until they release HSPL 2, which all posts I've seen, is been worked on, though there's no ETA....

tmobile htc hd2
the tmo hd2 came wIth the first two transformers movies. I thought the movies were on th sd card but there is some jerkiness on playback..why is this. Is it played over the net.. sorry but Ive been so busy today didnt figure out why it was somewhat jerky. over all like the tmo hd2. THE ROM NEEDS WORK. have yet tocheck out the tvprogram but itlooks good depending onthe number of channels etc. as you can see Im still gettingused to no physical keyboard...onscreen is huge and you can actually read full screen web pageswith no zoom and pinch to zoom is great.

Is there an Easy way to tell if a specific ROM is T-Mobile USA compatible?

As the topic states, is there an easy way to eyeball a ROM and know if it will work with the TMO USA 1024/578 HD2?
Any advice would be appreciated (I'm sure a lot of us are wondering!)
Cheers,
Bale

im fairly certain by logical deduction that any rom will work fine, as long as you read the radio requirements carefully.
i deduce this because:
Telstra HD2 is different model number to EU HD2 and roms are interchangeable
TMO US roms work fine on the EU and Telstra HD2
and im sure i saw a post where someone was running a cooked rom on their TMO US HD2
but dont take my word for it, its just logical thinking

I tend to agree, however the HSPL cookers made a rather big note about compatibility and as someone who isnt exactly fluent in all the jargon yet I find myself wondering.
Also, the TMO USA HD2 has totally different specs than the EU version and so that might cause mem allocation problems etc...

yeah i just read the warning too, so ignore my comments
its better to be safe than sorry!

Really, not all ROMs are compatible.
During testing, not all ROMs working...
This happen because 2.XX ROMs have additional stuffs (like 1024 Mbytes NAND support), while 1.XX ROMs have not.

OK so it is a case by case basis and we will just have to try and see or have the chef let us know?
I assume that if I try a non-compatible ROM, my HD2 will just hang on the loader?

FYI .. I just had a good friend load a non compatible ROM on his TMO HD2 and it is as dead as a fish outta water .... Won't boot at all ....completely out of commission.
So I'm waiting until someone specifies if a ROM is compatible ...

Thanks for the report
Good to know there is an easy way to know if a ROM will work or not (instead of having bugs and errors crop up on a seemingly functional ROM.
I think I saw EnergyROM is compatible. He just has to upload the file to his host. I'm going EnergyRom w/ CookieMonster when I get my phone

Can this ROM be installed with T-Mobile US version HD2 after HSPL'd?

So are you saying that we should be safe with 2.xx roms for Tmo US or should we just wait and see if we can get a working list going. I would say we should start a list thread but i know if i do i wont be dedicated to keep it up if anyone wants to take that on.

Ouch, did he return it? What is he going to do?

Frustrating...

I'm looking to install HSPL and a custom rom on my hd2.
Can't seem to find answers to my questions because there are so many random threads posted... and I have already tried using the search option to find the answers to my questions... so I'm left with just posting another thread!
1. What is the difference between the "HTC Leo: HD2" and the "HTC HD2" besides one is from the UK and the other one is in the USA? Why do they call one the LEO?
2. When I am in the bootloader screen checking the SPL version of my HD2, how the crap do I exit the bootloader? Is the only option to pull the battery? That's kinda silly.
3. The tutorial for flashing your first rom has a title of the following: [TUT] Flashing your First GSM USA 1024LEO ONLY!! (For Noobs)
This thread is located in the Tmobile USA HTC HD2 and the title says GSM USA....referring to the Tmous HD2 and then it says 1024LEO ONLY!!! I know I have the 1024MB version of the USA HD2 but why does the title say 1024LEO then? They are two different HD2's last time I checked and there is a whole other forum for flashing the LEO's rom. Is this a typo in the title?
4. What's the difference between HSPL2 and HSPL? Which one do I use? In the original HSPL thread there are two different zip files to download.
I will remember the rest of my questions after I get these ones answered. Any help is appreciated!

1. LEO is code name of Touch HD2
2. That the only way I know of.
3. See 1
4.you only use HSPL2_1024_RUN.exe

They are both Leos. The USA model has 1024mb ROM size and has green call button and red end button. The euro/uk model has 512mb ROM size and all buttons are white... no color.

ok thanks. but if they are the same, besides the rom size, then how come you have to be specific with which rom you put on which version?

The USA HD2 with 1024rom has to use a rom that has a 2.xx base because the earlier roms made for the 512mb rom devices doesn't recognize the 1024mb rom and that causes problems. Same thing with the radios... you need the T-Mo USA radios because of the updated specs. The euro 512mbROM HD2s can use any rom or radio... it's just our newer updated USA HD2s need ROMs and Radios that recognize the updated specs. Otherwise, they are the same devices and can use the same apps, etc.

if it helps, i followed the noob guide and flashed hspl and a rom successfully. I'm about to reflash an updated version of the rom. just read the directions carefully and you probably won't go wrong. i say probably because i almost bricked my phone because i was an excited idiot, skimmed through the instructions and downloaded the wrong hspl. lol. pm me if you have any questions dude.

Also I noticed that you asked a few questions and you stated that you have a US model so these links are for you:
These are all for Tmo US HD2 LEO1024...
Radio's see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669733&page=3
The thing to remember with Radio's is that you must use a .50 radio. This is what kills almost all US HD2 phones. if you look at the radio code you will see either a .51 or a .50 in the numbers. .51 = 512 RAM .50 = 1024 RAM.

..51.. = 448 RAM ..50.. = 576 RAM
dont confuse ROM and RAM

Just remember two basic rules on a TMOUS version:
don't flash anything below a 2.10 based ROM
don't flash a xx.51.xx radio
and everything else will be fine. Those are deadly to the TMOUS version. The Euro version seems so much more flexible in this regard.

Wow. Your explainations were very clear. I was wondering if you could provide just a bit more assistance. I did the new t-mo upgrade. I like everything about it EXCEPT for the touch sensitivity. It is the worst. I am going to break the screen trying to get it to respond. I read several places that if you did the upgrade then you CAN'T flash to a custom ROM. Is that true? I not, could you assist me with flashing off o the upgrade to something else? Thanks in advance.

Only shows you haven't read the threads in this forum because the answers to your questions have already been answered EONS ago.

Dude I am so glad you asked these questions, I was searching all the posts trying to find the EXACT answers you were looking for. It would help to include a simple explaination on how to tell the two versions apart, and a simple instruction on entering the bootloader to find the version PB81120 AND SPL version, it is even more confusing when I could not and still can not find anywhere on my phone where it says 1024mbROM,(mine says flash size 1024mb) or where it says(1024leo). I am a noob but I found the guide for noobs hard to follow so I am glad I found answers here, I am sure I will get pounded by others who tell me why I should have been able to understand it better or why I should not even try to flash a rom if I am that dumb, hey, I am just trying not to brick my phone here, I dont want to seem ungrateful, I do appreciate everybodys hard work on this site and I realize they work for donations. So I do want to give a big thanks to all the contributors for a great site, I just thought I would also let somebody know how much this posting has helped me too.

Flash = Flash ROM
You Will want HSPL3
1024leo, means it is Leo(the code name for this device) With 1024ROM(flash)
All this info is in this Thread
Quoting from that thread are the instructions for how to go into the bootloader
*Go into BootLoader Mode (turn off phone, then press and hold the VOLUME DOWN then Press and hold the POWER button. After about 3 seconds the tri-coloured screen should appear). Verify the screen shows the SPL or HardSPL you installed*

Hey, im a newbie. I just got my HTC HD2 (T-Mobile) USA
Can you tell me whats the difference between Leo and the USA HD2's ? I see there is way more mods/skins/apps for Leo HD2, so any way i can switch the software?
And what are ROM's ? See there threads about roms, flashing and stuff, what does that do?
Thanks.

Welcome newbie,
Lot's of info here, so here are some basics; read the threads and go down a few pages there you will find all your answers.
LEO=HD2
USA HD2= 1024 Memory
EU HD2= 512 Memory
these are sometimes called 1024LEO & 512LEO can you see where the names are coming together?
ROM= the software that is loaded when you turn your phone on, no ROM no phone.... Make sense?
Flashing= Removing old ROM installing new ROM
Please start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631
Thanks you have a nice day!

all the themesand apps and such work on both the regular hd2 and the tmous hd2. only when it comes to rom version and ESPECIALLY radio is there a difference.
feel free to try stuff in the regular hd2 themes and apps section, but only get your roms from the tmous section.
(tmous = t mobile us, with 1gb rom and coloured start and end keys)
oh and spend the next few days reading, don't dive straight in like half the pillocks arriving here every few hours, understand what you are doing and you'll see how simple it all is.

Can i run the same roms and mods for unlocked hd2 on the tmobile hd2

I searched and did not find anything on this which suprised me but can i do all of the same stuff on the tmo version of the hd2 as i can on the original hd2? Like same roms, radios, mods dual boot and all that good stuff? Reason i am asking is because im looking to buy an hd2 but the tmo version is 100-150$ cheaper on ebay. Also if you know any good sites to buy the phone from that would be great!
Thanks

The ROM has to be TMOUS compatible, most chefs are doing this ...
As far as Radios, only x.xx.50.x radios on the TMOUS or it could brick ..
Most of the mods and such will work the same ...
The only exception I see that could cause you an issue, the TMOUS will not get AT&T 3G due to the Radio Difference ...
There is an EU model, and it escapes me now, that will ...
But the TMOUS version has 575mb of Ram and 1024 ROM where the EU version is I think like 480 and 512 ...
Hope that helps

Well there is no working android for hd2 yet, there are some test builds that run as an app, but no ROMs, same for Ubuntu ....
You should read some of the flashing tutorials in the ROMs thread may give you some insight ....
