Hello guys!
Yesterday I bought my new HD2!
BUT it looks like a normal Leo (not the T-mobile one) but on the back of the case, and on the white sticker sealing it, it's written "PHONE KIT T-MOBILE LEO" and when the phone starts it displays the T-mobile logo without displaying the "htc quietly brilliant" logo!; same on shutting down. (even after a hard reset).
From the inside it's a normal 448 MB RAM phone!
I've attached some explaining pics.
I bought it from the UK!
Here are the original stock specs:
OS version:5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Manila version:2.5.20121429.0
ROM version:1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
ROM date:04/02/10
Radio version:2.07.51.22_2
Protocol version:15.32.50.07U
Please tell me what is this phone?! How should i treat it?! And how come there's this combination!!??
What about the apps and official/unofficial updates not applicable for HTC T-mobile version!? Should i install them or not?!?
It's confusing
Thanks guys!
The one that is different is the US T-Mobile version. Your UK T-Mobile is a normal euro version, or T8585. You don't have to worry about what radio or rom you flash like you would with the US version, but you only have 512mb ROM rather than the 1024MB ROM the T-Mobile US HD2 has.
ok man thanks a lot!
That's relieving!

Hello everybody!
Since yesterday night there is the new HD2 ROM 1.72.162.0 available for Germany. I'd like to download and install it, but whenever i enter my SN i receive the message: "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
Does anybody have an idea why? As far as I know my HD2 is without a branding. At least I bought a phone without a provider branding and couldn't find any sings of a branding on it so far
If some more specific information on my HD2 are of any help:
HTC HD2 T8585
WM 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.66.407.1 (76641) GER
I would be grateful for your advices. Thanks a lot in advance.
As far as I know this ROM is for Vodafone branded devices only. Read about here: http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-hd2-rom-upgrade/81467-1-72-162-0-a.html
Thanks a lot I was a little bit worried I could have been sold a branded HD2
I contcated the Ger,am htc service via mail due to the same problem.
The answer was that tere is a technical problem iat the website htc is already working on. Vodafone was not mentioned. I´m looking forward to... who cares - htc does not ;-)

dunno if I'm right, but as long as I know, telstra phones are already unlocked... at least the one I bought from Australia... I live in Mexico and my telstra edition was working with telcel as soon as I took out it of the box...

I can confirm this.....
Except it's got the telstra rom on it that restricts certain settings/functions... but u can easily get rid of it...
I am using one here in the US. What a wonderful phone, thanks to our Aussie Bros that I can use this phone on att US./
Not locked.
any sim works on it but you won't get full internet pottential until you change the rom. I tried a 3 mobile sim when i 1st got the phone, i had reception straight away but no internet. but as soon as i got rid of the telstra rom & retried my 3 sim, everything set up in an instant just as with a telstra sim.
You might want to look at flashing a generic HTC rom, as it will pick up the new provider settings if your using another countrys sim.
First you will need to remove the spl and install a hard spl

I would download hspl2_run.zip and install 2.08
Then get the htc rom

1.72 WWE should do the trick.
Hope this helps.
Hi
I've been waiting ages for the T-Mobile UK ROM upgrade for the HD2 but nothing has appeared on the HTC downloads page as yet, even though Vodaphone, Orange and the generic one seems to be available. I get the feeling that T-Mobile won't be releasing the update
Anyway, I've been looking thru the stickies on XDA-Dev and found a ROM update for branded T-Mobile called RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1 which I am now downloading
Is this an unofficial update? Or maybe a pre-release from T-Mobile?
More importantly, is this safe to install? My specs are:
Manila: 2.5.20121429.0
ROM: 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
ROM date: 04/02/10
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol: 15.32.50.07U
I've been hanging around confused on the XDA-Dev forums on and off for the last 6 months or so. I'm pretty apprehensive about installing anything ROM-based for fear of bricking my lovely HD2. I don't wanna get a new one as I'm not even halfway thru my 24-month contract!
Anyway, hope you can help. I hate sounding like such noob. I fix PCs for a living, but this is doing my head in!!
The RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1 is a leaked UK T-Mobile stock ROM.
Don't worry, this rom will not brake your device, I have uploaded these rom sins 2011-01-06 and in the meanwhile it was bean downloaded 293 times without anyone mentioned that thy have a problem.
Hey where to find the download link for T-Mobile Uk rom upgrade
Can you please guide me in this??
Many Thanks in Advance

htc hd2 t mobile with ROM 1.72 GER
hi
i am using hd2 t mobile with rom 1.72 GER......give me any single link to upgrade my rom. plzzzzzz even i want to change my language to english plzzz plzzz.....
Currently I have the following installed:
ROM: 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
Radio: 2.06.51.07
UK unbranded HD2 on o2
Now, a while back I'm sure the HTC support section had a new upgrade. I downloaded it but never bothered to install.
That file is called:
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
Which seems to be the same as what I've got! Yet when i run that file it says:
PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.27.4.3 (is the 3.27 the rom or the version of the update utility?)
Additionaly the date on the HTC site of the update is 2010-01-25 which can't be the one i got before. I'm sure there is a 3. something rom.. ??? Have they taken the newer one down opr something?
Someone please, sort my brain out!! thanks!
3.14 is latest
go back to htc.com and look again at rom updates (support - pick hd2 in phone list - downloads)
The first one listed is an o2 specific update, but that wont work on yours because as you mentioned you actually have an unbranded hd2 (because o2 couldnt buy them and brand them quick enough for demand early 2010)

sorry to charge in here with what may seem a very daft question but how to tell if your hd2 is branded..or not. Do you mean the actual device casing is Unbranded (as is mine) but i still have the 02 splashscreen when the device boots up. Again sorry for my ignorance but is my splashscreen indicitive of my phone being o2 branded or is it (should be) printed to the casing of the phone?
thanx
it has the o2 splash so its almost certainly branded. its the rom thats branded not the casing, and by branded we mean you get your updates through your provider (or select the provider branded rom on the HTC website, to be more accurate). Your phone will only accept roms signed by your provider, unless you use sspl/hspl, and vice versa, an unbranded phone wont take provider roms.
Some providers dont brand them, virgin, i believe dont brand them.
Also called rom lock or rom locked, or provider locked.
to be sure, go HERE (assuming you're uk) and try download teh top entry using your real serial number. its a branded 3.14 o2 rom, so if it lets you, your phone is branded. if it doesnt let you, its not, and you should use the one pointed out above, the generic wwe.
just as extra info, before 3.14, if your phone was branded you got different versions, so a generic 1.66 rom was 1.72 for branded phones. Same rom, just with o2 junk.
I don't have any branding to the case OR the software, to be honest i don't think i could stand either.. I've always bought my contracts from carphonewarehouse and every phone they have supplied me with is unbranded.
Always on O2, all my previous Nokia handsets were the same.
Perhaps like the previous poster said i don't give them a chance to get their software on, i'm always straight off the mark with brand new releases

all yea thats why you use generic wwe roms. cpw sell unbranded phones, and sometimes lock them to a carrier, often dont. But either way, the phone would still use generic non branded roms. rom lock and carrier lock/sim lock are unconnected.
Been out of the HD2 forums for sometime so bit rusty & out of touch.
I have manged to get hold of a T-mobile HD2 & would like to know if I can put a standard WWE ruu 6.5 on if I need to go back to windows for w/e reason?
I do intend to put Andriod on due to the extra memory on the T-mobile version.
Thanks
If you mean a t mobile USA (tmous) then NO!! Never ever flash an unbranded or non tmous branded) rom. Tmous will ONLY take tmous branded roms, otherwise the radio in regular roms will brick it.
However yes its simple to go back from android to winmo stock.

As far as i am aware it's a UK t-mobile thats been sim unlocked.
Will this make any difference? How can i tel if it's a tmous or not?
Ta
Ah that's different, only tmous (green send red end keys) are affected by radio brick. (Well, normal flashing risks apply, of course, but there's no rom that can brick your phone just by flashing it.)
The confusion is your post 1 mentions extra memory(edit see **), , that's tmous only. Your phone is a regular hd2, rom locked to t mobile. (Not connected to sim unlock, it will always be rom locked to t mo, so your stock roms will be "HTC Leo UK tmo 1.43, 1.72 and 3.14.
The tmous can be considered a slightly different phone than the rest of us have.mines o2 UK, same as yours but different rom lock. Everything's the same tho, dead easy to go back to stock, various ways to do it should you need to.(I wont 1,2,3 it, go read the tuts and stickies)
Edit ** I assumed you meant 1024 rom instead of 512, but maybe you mean the ram, 576 vs 448, well that extra 128 is actually there in our phones, you just don't get to use it in the stock roms, it requires a tmous spl and radio to unlock it,, android will see and use it, you don't need to do anything.
