how hard is it to install a radio rom

how hard is it to install a radio rom
i have tmobile touch pro 2 ...usa
has anyone got a write up
on the install
im not that much of a techie
i have read alot of threads to get up to speed
but my technical skill are not that good
please help

They are very easy, follow the same steps as flashing a rom, thats it!! Must be Hard-spl then just run the curtomruu.exe

Yeah, as husker91 says, just pretend you're flashing a ROM. It's very easy. Just follow all the steps, don't skip any steps, and make sure you follow all the directions!
Here's a pictorial, if you need it. This pictorial is a ROM-flashing guide, and it's pretty much how you flash a radio-rom.
*However, I do believe this should have been posted in the Radio thread OR at least the ROM development sub-forum.

Very easy as stated above

well as far as roms goes.my way is just grab one and flash everybody has likes and dislike .you wont know till ya start flashing different ones.it gets addictive but i love it .i would suggest this rom for your first one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572938 it's stable and fast. i am on it right know ,plus i have a tmobile tp2.usa .so just follow the instructions and flash it .once you get the hang of it you will be flashing alot.just have to find one that you like ,that meets what you want to do with it! it's very easy to do ! well good luck man!the customruu.exe is the progam that will install it into your phone from your computer . it's already in the zip file you download. when you unzip the file you download you will see it !this rom if i remember right ,after you unzipp it you will see a file named flash open it you will see the customruu .well just follow instructions from above you will get it .i know it's scary at first but just be confident. also when you go to flash it from computer make sure all programs are closed and don't open any while you are flashing it .that way nothing mess with it while it's installing .

when i install it will it be put in my programs menu

if you are talking about the customruu.exe no it won't .it's built in to the rom's package itself.you won't see it on your phone.just see it on computer after you unzip .

no when i install the radio will it be in my programs menu

Customruu.exe is the file you launch while your phone is synchronized to the PC. By using customruu.exe, your PC is transferring the new radio-rom data onto your phone (it's upgrading the radio-rom as this happens).

No, the radio-rom is a software upgrade. Hence, it won't be a program. It'll just be there in your phone (just like how you hardsSPLd your phone, that doesn't show up as a program).

cool ....theres so many to choose from, any more tips before i go to the rom section

My tip from my own experience: Try as many of them (radio-roms and ROMs) as you can!
Purpose: if you try as many as you can, you will eventually find one that will suit your needs. If you stick with one radio-rom or one ROM, you might not know what you're missing out on with others!
*Radio-roms depend on ROM and location. Not every radio-rom will be the same. I've tried 6 radio-roms, and I ended up with .17 being the best for me. So, try them and see which one is best for you.*

will these radio roms remove my today screen

Nope. Radio-roms only determine your phone capabilities (signal strength, data connections, and battery life).
Your Today screen only changes with custom ROMs. Custom ROMs change your Today screen to whatever it comes with.

HardSPL voids your warranty. Reflashing everything stock and the stockSPL will validate your warranty again.

Radios
Most radio come with custom ruu and are as easy as double click to install.
.88 seems to work best for me.
Good luck.

HTC HD2: how to delete IM app?

I tried deleting it through the phone I can't. So can someone please help me how..?

You need to give us more detail.
What IM app? Are you using stock or custom roms? & is this a stock app already on the phone or an app you downloaded.

its a stock app that came with the phone.

Stock apps cannot be removed. They are cooked into the stock ROM.
Only solution is to install a custom ROM that doesn't have the IM app.

and how would i do that?

Boot your HD2 into Windows Mobile, plug it into your PC via USB, and choose for 'LiveSync'. Download these files belonging to OzDroid WinMo ROM. Extract the files from the download with software like 7zip. Download the CustomRUU.7z attached to this post and extract it to the same directory. Run CustomRUU.exe and follow the directions.

Thanks for your explanation, but still I need a windows ROM for installing Android

There is no android "ROM" for hd2's yet. For now, it runs on the sdcard, you still needs windows mobile for the initial boot. (I believe that's what your asking, anyways)

I understand your confusion but please take the time to carefully read the thread i just linked to. OzDroid ROM is a Windows mobile ROM. It even includes an optional bootloader to automatically load Android.

Are you taking the piss?

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

U can get a official ROM from the HTC website, make sure u DONT get the newest, but the 1.66 ROM version.
Extract the *.exe to your desktop using WINRAR and u will have a .nbh file in there.
Have fun!

just tiny bit of advice for you (take it or leave it), if you had trouble finding how to install hspl on your own, i suspect you are going to have a few more difficulties getting android onto your HD2 (if thats your goal)
your right in saying dont post if you dont want to help, but you need to show at least an ounce of initiative if you want to avoid this type of response.

HTC HD2 - Changing to Android. Pls Help

Hi,
I have just purchased a new HTC HD2 on T-Mobile (U.K.) and I am loving it !
I am a total novice and wish to change from Windows 6.5 to the better latest Android OS.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this? I have no idea what I am doing and do not want to do something which may jeopardise the phone (I do know that it does affect the warranty) The only thing I know about 'Flash' it flashing my mobile in public.
I would really like if someone can give me Step by Step instructions via a video so I can see what I am doing.
Any feedback would be really appreciated.
Many thanks

Don't rush anything. Make sure you have a good idea about what you're doing and what you can do if things go wrong. If you're unsure about anything just use the search feature first and if you're still iffy about something, ask a question.

I think you are making this harder than it needs to be. Just follow the instructions given to you in your previously started thread about the same thing. The link to MSkip gives you detailed instructions on how to install Android on your HD2 and how to revert back to WM6.5 if you so desire.

Thanks for the reply. What is the latest version of Android for HTC HD2? The link you gave me, is that the latest version?

Google is your friend. Haven't used it in a while. If you are that unsure of flashing Android to your HD2 just buy an Android powered phone. Sorry to be so brash but just follow the instructions.

Still lost

DoctorGore said:
I'll try to explain a bit. First off you've got to install the things that let you install Android in the first place (HSPL, MAGLDR, CWM etc) and after that you install a ROM. A ROM is the thing that will decide what version of Android you phone will have. If you don't like the ROM you have, or if you just want the newest version of Android, all you have to do is change it. You don't have to re-install everything again, just your ROM.
You might have to change your CWM partition size when you choose a new ROM, but the chef (person who made the ROM) will let you know what size you need in the thread. This is also easy and doesn't require you to re-install everything. Don't worry if you don't know what a CWM partition is because it'll make sense eventually.
