Possible? HD2 (T-Mobile US) to European German ROM - HD2 General

Hi guys!
I haven't been around for a while since I had non-HTC devices, yet, I just got me a US HD2 from T-Mobile. Does anybody know if I could flash it with a German (or unbranded official WWE ROM) without bricking the device? Or better: did somebody try this already successfully?
I just would like to get it up and running in my home language (and also get rid of the T-Mobile Start Animation). Back in time, I never had any issues flashing a US MDA version with European ROMs, yet, I know this has changed due hardware differencies.
Any input would be appreciated.

its not going to happen.
if you flash any non tmous based rom will cause the phone to to hang at boot.
if the rom you attempted to use also included a radio (example stock 1.66 wwe rom) then the included radio would brick your phone.
the best you can hope for is a tmous based rom with german language included.
go look carefully through the tmous rom development section.

Yeah, I learnt it the hard way.
I found the warning thread / posts afterwards. Thankfully, T-Mobile simply exchanged it for me.

How to flash a radio over protected rom??

Hi all,
I have an HD2 from Orange in France.
SSPL falshing works perfectly for me but there is not a single original rom that I find compatible to my device so if it should brick at the next try I have nothing to get back to.
So my first question would be how to get my hand on an Orange rom.
And it would be great if that rom would have a newer radio than 2.04 since my device has this on.
Or is there another possibility without HSPL to flash another radio newer than mine??
Thx

Install shipped ROM 1.61 with Goldcard. So you will get the new Radio. Afterwards you can install other ROMs with SSPL.
Is there no way to flash the new 1.61 ROM with SSPL, that would make life much easier ? So I will get the newest radio ? I can get the RUU_signed.nbh from the 1.61 ROM and then flash with SSPL, or will that not work ?
Edit: already found out; you can flash with SSPL, but then it won't flash the radio ...
Rom 1.61? On HTC site there is only 1.48 or am I missing something?!
See this Leo ROM Development thread, it is in there !

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.

[Solved] Need help flashing Chinese ROM (Solution Found!)

Hi All,
I recently bought a US T-mobile HD2 1024LEO and here's the factory specs:
SPL-2.10.0000
OS 5.2.21892
Manila 2.5.20121412.2
Rom 2.13.531.1
Radio 2.10.50.26
Rom Size 1024MB
I would like to flash the official Chinese ROM I found in the XDA-China site:
xda-china.net/viewthread.php?tid=59333&extra=page%3D1%26amp;filter%3Dtype%26amp;typeid%3D1
It is: LEO/HD2_RUU_2.13_21905_CHS
How do I find out if this would work with 1024LEO? I tried running this RUU without installing HSPL2_1024. I went thru each step and when it came to the % completion page, it just stayed there, and nothing happened after that. I disconnected it, and restarted my HD2.
Do I need to downgrade my ROM first to 2.08, then flash HSPL2_1024, then flash this Chinese ROM? I want to make sure before I accidentally brick this new phone.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
512 or 1024LEO
My biggest concern is whether the ROMs, whether it be Chinese or other language, are specifically designed for 512MB or 1024MB ROM Size LEO's. Can you use it to flash both machines? Can you accidentally brick the phone because your phone is 1024 and the ROM was designed for 512?
Thank you.
Don't think you can flash that ROM to your T-Mobile US HD2. It might brick your phone. You are correct in assuming that 512 Leo ROMs will not work at all on 1024 versions. I do not know of any Chinese language based T-Mobile US ROMs, however that does not mean that none exist.
~Jasecloud4
you can't flash this rom....it's a 2.13 rom......most of 2.10 rom are safe to use.
I flashed 100 chinese rom to my TMUS LEO.....never bricked..
going on version number alone (2.13) you would assume you could flash it, however considering there are no other non tmous roms that work, it's almost certainly not worth the risk. PLus, you didnt say what radio version it comes with. Its the radios that kill tmous more than the roms, you should be really wary of flashing this rom in my opinion.
My HD2 now running official Chinese ROM 2.13
THIS IS A REVELATION!
I successfully flashed the Chinese ROM that I stated in my 1st post. After careful thinking and examining the official Chinese ROM, I decided to take the plunge and risk bricking my phone. Well, guess what? I was very happy to see the phone boot up and now the entire OS is in Chinese (simplified) language!
Here are the steps I did:
1. I downgraded my phone from OS 2.13 to 2.10 (using USB; no Sd card needed)
2. Installed HSPL2_1024
3. Flash HD2_RUU_2.13_21905_CHS
That's it!
This is my current specs now:
OS 5.2.21905 21905.5.0.93
Manila 2.5.20121225.0
ROM 2.13.531.1 90963 CHS
ROM Date 5/28/2010
Radio 2.08.50.08_2
Protocol 15.34.50.07U
good news.
Can anyone give a link to download HD2_RUU_2.13_21905_CHS ?
Thanks.

That's Simplified Chinese ROM, I'm looking for Traditional Chinese Rom.
It should be in CHT, not CHS.
Thanks for the effort though! It's almost impossible to find a Traditional Chinese WM6.5.5 Rom that is compatible with tmous HD2 : (

ahh well thats the version the OP gave in post 1. I think you will be waiting for someone to cook a custom job.
I really doubt htc/tmo will release it in a different language.

Why is it available in chinese simplified and not in Traditional? *puzzled*
I've installed the Asian font support .cab file, I'm looking for a programme that can allow me to change my regional setting to "Taiwan" so that I can get the Manila menu in traditional Chinese.

Does the Chinese language pack change the manila menu to Chinese?
is possible if someone can upload the file in other server..is a true PIA download from that server cause its longer xda china its a different server and ftp dont work either..so if anyone have it please upload to rapid or any other server
Curious, am I missing something, why would you need a Chinese rom?

[Q] official HTC HD2 wm6.5 Rom From htc.com?

hi friends
i went to HTC.com to download latest Winmo6.5 for my HTC HD2
i know its discontinued for a while but i want the latest developed ROM from HTC that suits my phones serial number
and unfortunately it seems HTC.com does not allow me to download any rom from my region(middle east).
it was 1.66 before and can anyone tell me how can i download it from HTC.com based on my phones serial number as before?
thanks
I know you want to download the ROM from HTC but HTC is probably phasing out the HD2 now. So to be honest you best bet is search through the Windows Mobile Development forum and find the couple of threads that have all the stock Windows Mobie ROMs linked in them. Hopefully they were not hosted on Megaupload and will still be valid links. I will have a look for you as well and see if I can find a 1.66 ROM for your device. Also your device may not have come from your region so that could be why it is not letting you download with the info you input from your device. But if you are positive it came from your region then that is another clue HTC is phasing out the HD2.
I don't know your exact location but you can have a look at the 1.66 ROMs in the OP of this thread.

thanks for your kindly attention, the problem is i have an HD2 branded by sktelecom, i think it is from south korea,and i am from Iran, i cant install any rom on it, i just need to find a proper rom by its serial number, and i saw that thread before. and it was so helpful.
so now that your are acknowledging that HTC.com is not usefull any more i thing i should test some random rom.
anyway thanks again
Have a look at this thread, it might help you find the correct stock ROM for your device.
SK telecomm ROMs are not great & as you in Iran I would of thought you would be best going for a standard WWE ROM or better option of a custom 6.5.3 WM build from NRG or Artemis.
has the HD2 been sim unlocked as SK lock them down tight & code unlocking is not an option so normally done via cable & software & if so could be CID & security unlocked too.
I would get HSPL2.08 on it & go custom NRg as runs & looks great even compared to best standard, Artemis ROMs are also very good WM options.
Android could also be an option & perhaps offer better native language options !
Here you can find old 1.66 official ROMs based on serial. Also all new 3.14 for almost every language

yes but the problem is that i cant install any radio to it, it stuck on 96%
so i just wanted to test the original rom and install in from sdcard by nbh file
Mmm I do remember having issues with other radios flashing on a SK touch pro I had even with HSPL installed.
A trip to an unlock software shop for CID & security unlock via cable was the cure, those SK Korean HTC handsets are a PITA ...

When you flash 3.14 official ROM your radio will be 2.15.50.14 so don`t use it when you have TMOUS

yes i knew that but it is not a TMOUS, it is like an EU HD2 in the hardware part.
but i just tested with 1.66 wwe and arab downloaded from official HD2 rom thread and also with 3.14 roms and both of them stuck on installing radio part.
so i'm thinking the only rom that can be installed on it is the sktelekom rom :-? maybe
but there is nowhere i could find them
It looks like SK Telecom use to be called T-Mobile Korea.
Here is a link to a the 1.76.911.1 test ROM for your device. It says SKT KR in the name of the RUU so it is SK Telecom Korea ROm.
