[Q] Flashing Telstra ROM to an Oficial ROM

Hey Guys
I've tried to flash my HD2 to a official ROM using HSPL, however it fails
(im guessing from a incorrect radio firmware).
i also tried Dutty's and Miri's ROMs but they stall at 0% indefinitely.
what can i try to get rid of this awful telstra GUI and bloatware?

You need to go the gold card route which is here:

It's abit more detailed or you can hardspl which is easier and ad a custom rom which is what I plan on doing when my hd2 arrives but from what I hear, none of the customer roms work as well as an original rom..?

My Telstra HD2 worked perfectly with HSPL and this ROM.
My girlfriend's worked perfectly as well.
Are you sure you're not doing it wrong?

Sweet ill give it a go!
i could be doing it wrong

1st one who killed the HD2 ;-(

I just HSPL my new T-Mobile 2.08 US HD2.
Worked soooo smooth. Thanks for that. Now the tricky part, I did not read detailed enough that the rom I flashed was a 1.66 based one.
now the HD2 is dead, no powerup, bootloader mode, reset or chargeing led.
Any way to safe it or back to t-mobile?
Thanks Guys

=( omg.... i was impatient too... I was downlaoding all these roms but remembered i didnt install the new HSPL thing.. and then i read the posts -_- sigh.. sorry man

I am so sorry man. Your best bet is to hope you can find a station where they'll work some factory reset magic on there...
Yeah. Sorry to hear that. I wish the SPL program would warn the user or refuse to install if it detected an old 1.66.

No brother
YWell Brother u and me both have to play the old hood wink on tmobile and play the it just died face so we can get a new one. Fortunatly we have 14 days if you kept your receipt, to take it back and nag saying it just shut of for no reason. Its hell of bricked, even HTC would have to completely take it apart to fix it, so no trace of anything would ever come back. the bad thing is their sold out everywhere till Tuesday or Wednesday. But ill wait its a bad ass phone. woooo! where do you live dude? in vegas?

I have read that you can microwave it for a few seconds and that kills it stone dead. No way they can tell what you flashed.
This is a very extreme method and an absolute LAST RESORT!!!!

remove your battery for 3 minutes and put it again and try ti lunch boot loader

Have you tried the SD card flash method.
You need to copy the original Tmob ROM file to your blank SD card, rename it to leoimg.nbh (i Think), and then try start in bootloader.

Which hspl did you flash and which rom?

the new one for 1024 T-Mobile 2.08.
Thanks for all replies,
For the Microvawe version, if you smash it with a hammer, has the same effect. Go Green.
No kidding, I ask for a repair solution not a Brick it more.
Bootloader is not working at all, so no SD way as well. And a rom based on 1.66. Smart as I am, I deleted the file.
Like I said, HSPL was great. Was still working after that.

I laughed my ass off so hard at that comment!

So I got it exchanged, I did the Hard spl and its fine so far. Still working.
Dont want to brick it again,
Is there any cooked German Rom that I can use on a USA T-Mobile HD2 based on 2.08?
To make my HD2 in German language?

(post removed, wrong thread)

This is why I'm choosing to wait a little bit before jumping in and flashing my TMOUS HD2. I don't have the 'cajones' to be a guinea pig! I'm waiting until everything plays out and the process is tried and proven safe.
For now I'm enjoying the stock TMOUS Rom, and applying tweaks here and there. I'm running into bugs and annoyances here and there, but don't feel a strong urge to flash roms just yet...especially when so many others are having issues!

Yeah, when it comes to the software side of this phone, I just take it all in with the regular rom and see what I REALLY want out of it as far as options and whatnot. THEN I get to the rom goodies after a lot of review and feedback.
Hardware I'll dissect the guts if I have to anyday though.

I think you'd be much better off browsing all the thread titles in the ROM Development section looking for a rom that is [GER] and [2.08+]/TMOUS based
As long as it's been taken off a TMOUS device, it will work on your TMOUS device

he he. I know it's hilarious. As I said, absolutely last resort if you are taking it back for warranty cos if they find any spl other than factory one your warranty is void straight off the bat. Nice to see you got a replacement without problems.
I just read that advice from another post here on the forum and it is way extreme!!!
As posted above - any rom based on tmous original roms should work. Good luck

YOU might use BSB Tweaks and choose manila language in the menu.
I bet it is based on the tool that downloads the needed manila files from the internet.
Try searching for the tool here on xda or use BSB tweak (but there is a solution to get it fully working german!)

I think someone installed spy software on my HTC HD2, how to detect/delete it?

Hi
Why i suspect this is another story, the thing is I think that one guy installed spy software on my HTC HD2 without my knowledge, how can i check if such software was installed and how to remove it?
I have windows mobile 6.5 on my HTC HD2

Cant say I've ever come across spyware on a phone before but either way I'd suggest just flashing a new rom to the phone to clean any current software off and also wipe your SD card.

hard reset !probably !!

The safest way is resetting your phone. Or you can bring your phone to the store and ask them to cheak it.

Best advice and fastest way to get rid of anything!!!
Good luck!

Hey , just get it out of your phone,then everything will be ok. 4 months ago, my father installed an iKeyMonitor on my phone and he knew whatever I does on my phone, and then my friend suggest me to uninstall it from my phone, then I use my phone safely.

black screen android sd

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help. I am using the sd method for android on the HTC HD2. Just put on ICS. The problem I have is that after awhile when the the screen turns off and I can not get it back on. The four lower keys light up when pushed but no image. I had the same problem with gingerbread and thought ICS would be the fix. The result is I have to reboot into Windows and then back into android.
Any ideas wold be much appreciated.

Hmm, I thought the SOD had been fixed? What you have is not uncommon (at least it used to be quite common) so it's unlikely that it's to do with your phone. I myself had it tonnes in the early stages of GB on the HD2 and it was pretty much the most annoying issue there was for me. One potential fix is to flash a custom Windows Mobile ROM which just involves flashing HSPL then the ROM. It's incredibly easy to do and it's unlikely to have any bad effects in any way, so I would try that if I were you. An alternative is to install NAND Android. If you want to do this follow this guide.

thank you
Thank you for your help!

actually
Can you point me to the protocol for flashing the rom?

I've already linked the Android flashing guide and here is the guide to flashing a custom ROM for EU HD2s. If you are in America and have a TMOUS HD2 follow this guide instead

Working
Thank you again.
I am in use with TMo. Have done the hpsl (found a video on how to) still SD. Will keep working.

ANY Android ROM can be flashed onto a TMOUS phone. The only thing you have to be worried about is radios (and as a result Stock ROMs). As long as you have a radio above 2.08.50 you shouldn't brick a TMOUS.

all the android roms treat the regular and tmous the same, , only difference is the rom size. (there are a few large roms that need a tmous to flash, but not many)
The danger you have heard about regarding the tmous vs regular, can only come about if you flash a bad radio (either on its own or as part of a non tmous windows mobile ((not wp7)) stock rom.
SO, you already have a compatible radio (all tmous radios are compatible with android/magldr/clk), so all you have to do is never flash a non tmous stock rom, which there is very very rarely a need to do anyway, , most people here have managed to avoid flashing a winmo rom for the past two years.

Awesome!!!! Thank you guys and also does a task 29 cause me to have to reinstall hspl and maglr and clockwork all over again or can i task 29 and flash the ROM by turning on the phone going into maglr and flashing in clockwork

Trust me, don't bother Task29ing. If any guide you read states it as a necessary first step, you should probably ignore it.

It's probably because of the insufficient partitions sizes. As long as you repartition, you shouldn't worry.

I formated partitions like you said by looking around the forum and i figured it all out yay thanks everyone for all your help this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830 is amazing thanks all of you again thank youuu

which ROM have you installed?
I am having the same problems with a TMOUS. Rom installations most of the times don't go well...
I'm not able to boot into the rom after installation. Now I managed (after many tries) to boot into touchWizMod 1.0
But it's far from stable. Any suggestion?
I used to do task29 + radio (2.15 radio for TMOUS) all the times, but now i'm just repartitioning the cwm with hd2 toolkit. could this be a problem?
PS radio downloaded from here: http://www.rhiffsta.ch/LEO_Radio/list.html

bad news: it seemed that it was working fine, but after rebooting to insert the SIM it booted but had no signal no network...nothing!!!
rebooted again---> now i'm stuck at the margld GO GO GO
EDIT after some minutes without the battery, it is booting again, but it freezes after inserting the pin to unlock the sim.
what kind of problem this could be?
