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

If LEO is code name of Touch HD2 then how can we tell the difference between UK HD2 and USA HD2?

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:

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*

Had tried to search differences & compatibilities between the LEO & TMOUS, but not much luck on answers. I've noticed there's a LEO subthread and a T-Mobile US thread. I'm in the US and my HD2 is branded with T-Mobile logo on it. But when i sync my PC to my HD2, i get a sync folder on my PC with the "T-Mobile LEO" folder on my desktop.
So do i have a LEO or a TMOUS model? Reason i ask is so i can go to the right subthread to read what members posted to prevent any bricking or error while trying to run a cab or flash.
I have the following info from my HD2:
flash size...... 1024MB
data bus...... 32 bits
OS ver........ 5.2.21889
Manila......... 2.5.20121412.1
ROM ver...... 2.10.531.1 WWE
radio.......... 2.05.50.08_2
I used to have a HTC Tilt that i've flashed with HyperDragonIII rom. I'm kinda rusty and still a noob at this. So i'm trying to remember how to flash a rom for starter. Any advice or post would be GREATLY appreciated.
LEO is the codename of the HD2
TMOUS is the carrier

I find better info in this one though, and I have a tmous model. You'll want to check them both... they are basicly the same, except the T-Mous has more ROM. You just have to be careful about what radio or roms you flash. Other than that, all the same apps work the same.
oh yeah, DEFINITELY will be checking here as well....... always good to have everything of both world
you have a leo branded under t mobile usa nerworks
Your is TMOUS
HD2 (Leo) with T-mobile Branding in US has 1024MB ROM
Look for the T-mobile word below your ear piece and the five button below the screen will be colored (One will be RED to disconnect the call and GREEN to pick up the call)
OFF Topic:
Just need advice. I have an EU version of the HD2. I'm seriously thinking of selling it and get a US version. Is the difference worth it?

I received my SIMUNLOCK code from TMO like 2 days after I got the phone. I have personally flashed just about every rom in this section and mine is still SIM UNLOCKED. Hope this helps..
sorry for the confussion let me clear this up a bit
first to 2002wrex that said"if the phone is SIM unlocked, thats permanent. for someone who has done many rom flashes, thats pretty much common knowledge.
yes maybe common knowledge but ever heard of a little phone called the iphone? if you upgrade to the newest software it is locked to AT&T and the DEV team does not think they can unlock it ...ever so thats why i ask the question with the cell company's getting smarter i wanted to know if i would lose that code...you never know right?
and as far as the
"for someone who has done many rom flashes" i guess i should have cleared that up as well ....i started with the wizard then the tilt then the diamond i have flashed all of them many times from this site BUT in the link you gave me
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614" that i have read many times it says "IMPORTANT: DO NOT flash any Rom unless it states in the 1st post that its compatable with the 1024LEO or the chef confirms its safe to flash on a 1024LEO. If you flash a Rom with a Base version before 2.08 then you will most likely brick your phone. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!" and not all roms say what radio is in it thats why i ask hope this clears things up a bit i was asking what would be a good first rom to flash on the hd2
thanks

No sim unlock just install HSPL for TMO 1024 and choose any of the available roms. HSPL is needed to flash ROMS. There are other methods but HSPL is the best way. Also read about task29.

All the roms in this section Are T-mobile based roms so no worries here about the radio version as they will all be right, As long as you stay in this section then you are good.
As far as the jailbreak for the Icrap goes the sim unlock is a work around not a true unlock. If you get the code from ATT and enter it then it never has to entered again.
ok thanks guy i just wanted to be sure thanks for the info really helped

Entering a code into the phone which was generated for that specific phone is a little different that tweaking iPhone's Software to allow a SIM card other than AT&T to be used with the phone. HTC given the codes out so there is no reason to try to tweak the HD2 to unlock it with software.
I'm currently on WWE 1.66. I don't own a T-mobile HD2!
Do I need those HSPL/SPL stuff????
I downloaded Tmous rom 2.10 and tried to flash with RUU and I get error 260.
Thanks for your answers.
Better do a lot more reading of the sticky threads and wiki on flashing a HD2 before you have another attempt at it, or you are going to give yourself the present of an expensive paperweight.

Just tell me how to start, what to do.. which topic should I look and so on. Because I'm confused right now.
download hspl2
install it - choose 2.08.hspl
flash your 2.10 rom over usb
thats it.

Quite why people are so obtuse when it comes to installing a ROM is beyond me. Sam is right, go to the ROM development forum and read the flashing thread it literally WALKS you step by step through the entire process and covers all eventualities. Why people expect XDA to help them when they can't be bothered to read even as far as the stickys is beyond me.
Thanks guys. I got it working!
I just didn't know how to start, because this is "stock" rom but I didn't knew if I had to instal HSPL or not.
Thanks again for helping me
Hello. I know I should have looked around more but I did and I am still confused.
I have got a HTC HD2 today from USA(the T-mobile version) and it has lots of the branding, now I would like to simply flash it with a clean software(ROM) so it would have an original boot screen and stuff but I dont know how to do it (i looked at the flashing tutorial but I did not understand it at all, although I know how to flash Nokias and Sony Ericssons )
Would someone be able to provide me with a few simple steps what to do? This is the t-mobile version with 1024 mb of rom and 16gb internal memory. (Well it has the simlock as well but as far as I know the ebay seller has to provide me with an unlock code as they promised). I am sorry for creating another topic but this is my first Windows phone I ever had and I really want to get it working asap because at the moment I can not even call/text because of the simlock.
I am unsure whether I should have posted it in the ROM section or the General section so mods please move it if applicable.
Oh No. I just realised there is a special forum for T-Mobile HD2's. Sorry!
Thanks for any support. I will appreciate it a lot.
Look Here. Do try to at least read the stickys before posting. This thread is found in the T-Mobile USA HD2 ROM Development forum, believe it or not.

Did you even read his post before giving him crap?
He said he read it but didn't understand it. I don't really blame him since that write up is a bit confusing. I even had a hard time following it and I had owned and flashed my Fuze long before going to my HD2.
It's a pretty simple process. Go to the T-Mob section/ROM section. Find a ROM you would like to try. You will also want to download the HSPL found in the tutorial. Run HSPL once the phone say "We Hacked It" you are good to flash a custom ROM of your choice. Once you download the ROM you want go into the file and pull out the file ending in nbh. If it does not have the name LEOIMG.nbh rename it to such then place it on the main directory of the memory card. Go into bootloader by turning the phone off, pressing the volume keys then while pressing them press the power/end call key. Once there just follow what it asks/tells you.
It's that simple. You don't have to worry about doing task29 right off the bat. So let that wait till later when you are more confident of what you are doing.

Everything you need to know is in that post. I worked it out reading from the same tutorial, how is it that he fails to do the same?
can you be more specific in your question? what part is hanging you up?
also...why can't you make calls? that doesn't seem good...
Would his simlock issue not be him trying to use a non t-mo sim in this phone!?!?

Maybe because you had a WM phone before owning an HD2 and already understood the flashing process? He said he read it and didn't understand it clearly because he had never owned a WM phone before this one. Like I said there is some confusing information in that post that kind of conflicts with itself. It could have been written a bit more clearly. The OP of the tut kind of takes it that the person reading it should already know some things about flashing.
Also to the OP of this thread. Changing the ROM will not sim unlock the phone it will simply update the OS. If you want to get the sim unlocked you only have a few choices. You can either wait for the person you bought it from to come up with one for you, you can go to one of serveral sites and purchase one (normally around $14 US), or you can contact T-Mobile for it. Since you are3 most likely trying to run this on another carrier that latter will not work for you.
Also what carrier are you trying to put this on. Depending on the carrier you might have limited service. If you are trying to put this on At&t it will not get 3g service.
I looked at those ROMs, but they are all modified, all I want is a brand new rom with no t-mobile stuff and I would stick with it until my htc skills get better. I just really want to get the software stuff done before I actually start using the phone.
- I think I will get the code tomorrow, they have to give me one as its a part of the transaction.
- I tried to use it with 3 UK as I live in the UK.
- I can't make calls as I can not start the phone with my UK simcard (I made it sound like a faulty phone in my first post).
Once again, sorry for posting in a wrong section... I was too unpatient. Got my phone in hands and gone to xda-developers.com straight away hoping to get everything done quickly and then I realised the difference between HD2 and HD2 Tmobile
Simply... I understood the tutorial better after reading it many times, but all I want is just debrand my phone (with no cooked roms or any other stuff), at least now.

Ummm the only rom for the TMOUS HD2 you are going to find "Without" the TMO stuff is a Custom rom ...
To take the TMO stuff out you have to MODIFY, or you take another ROM from another provider and MODIFY it ... So for what you are looking for is a clean, slim custom ROM ...
There are a few out there that are really slimmed down ROMs some even very close to stock , find one that sounds like you like and is compatible with your phone and give it a whirl , you will need HSPL first, HSPL3 is out so search for it ...
Just in case if someone wants to help me searching for a "clean, slim custom ROM", I will provide some hardware and software info that I think my be useful.
Ram Size: 576mb
Flash size: 1024mb
OS Version 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87) - isn't Windows (6).5.3 out?
Manila version: 2.5.20121412.1
Rom Version: 2.10.531.1 (82076)
Radio Version: 2.08.50.08_2
I will have a look for a clean rom (is anyone using a clean rom or is it just me demanding too much from that phone?). Please help me look for one...

I prefer the energy ROMs but they may not be close enough to stock for you
so look here ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656835
If you seen 21xxx in the OS version it is 6.5
If you see 23xxx it is 6.5.x (Actually I think 23xxx is 6.5.3.xxx)
Basically getting rid of startup and shutdown logos would be good.
This is the generic rom I would like to use but it will not work: htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=856
Is there no equivalent ROM to this one but for the TMO US version?
And finally, I can hardly find any clean ROM but i will keep searching...
EDIT: I found the newest T-mobile rom on their website which I have now downloaded... is there a way I could remove all branding from there before I flash it into my phone?
Btw, Is it true that the US TMO HD2 will not work with 3G network in UK? I'm scared now
I will make a new topic in the appropiate Tmobile HD2 Section... Please answer there if you want to help me.
My bad I did not notice the tmobile section before... Sorry Once Again.

I have read through hundreds of posts and still confused ,basically i want to run Android as a dual boot with windows my stats are
ROM 1.72.206
Radio 2.07.51
Proto 15.32.50
There is a lot of confusing threads with some saying this wont work with that code and you need to flash this but it wont work unless you have higher than this,my brain is turning to mush .
I have read all the differences with sspl ,spl ,hspl and still dont know what i have on mine ,i installed bsb tweakes when i first had the phone a few months ago aswell as loading tomtom and memory map which have worked fine .i have now come across a few more apps that i need but they only work on android ,could someone please please help on a newbie trying to install Android and provide some links for me to follow .
Many many thanks in advance
You have to flash a radio with .50 in it, instead of .51.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787 for more instructions on doing this
After your radio is good, just download an Android SD build to your SD card, boot into WinMo, launch clrcad.exe and then haret.exe
Clrcad doesn't open any window, haret launches Android.

I do not know whether you have ever installed android on HD2 or not, but according to my understanding you are just starting and you are overwhelmed. Basically if you have HD2 with win6.5 OS then you should start by installing HSPL3, followed by radio(your radio seems to be very old. Flash new one 2.15.50.xx). Once you are done with these 2 steps, you can install android on HD2.

As i said in my first reply... you will need HSPL3 and radio first. then only you will be able use android on HD2. Try the SD builds of android for dual boot.

Did you check your SPL version. What version do you have???
These are the stats i have
OS 5.2.21869
Manilla 2.5.20121429
Rom 1.72.206.3
Radio 2.07.51.22.2
Protocol 15.32.50
How do i check the spl ? i have soft reset the phone but cant get the 3 colours up
restart your phone and hold the volume down button when it turns back on to get to the multicolor boot screen... that will tell you what spl you have.
Make sure the volume down is held down while the phone first gets turned on, so if you reset it, start holding the volume down right before it turns off and keep holding it until the boot screen pops up.. it should happen right away.
You should be able to use hspl3 with most spl's. Once you have hspl installed, you want to install one of the newer radios, and then your phone should be ready to run android off the sd card.
version 1.66
But it does say on one of the links that hspl wont work on my phone ,it's only usa phones ?
i have the 1024 uk version

Well I am no expert in all this dude. I am just a newb who has tried almost every type of build available. But i am a TMO US user. So I do not know what you can do. May be some experts can help you out... Do not loose hope, there will be definitely someone who can help you. XDA community is really good in helping newbs like you and me.

There is no 1024 UK version. The T-Mobile USA version is the only 1024mb ROM version. The UK/ euro versions are 512mb rom size. I'm pretty sure that hspl3 works with all the phones. Hspl2 might have only been for leo1024s, but cotulla made hspl3 to make it universally compatible. When i sign on with my computer, I'll look it up if you haven't figured it out by then.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I have found this one by cotulla
