You're getting it from T-Mobile...in the US? Then it will be the T-Mobile version...they don't sell both.
The T-Mobile version is easy to identify because it says T-Mobile right across the top. If it doesn't say that, it's the Euro version (or perhaps the obscure Telstra/Australian version).

I'm new to all this Windows mobile being on the Nokia Sybian for the last 10yrs can someone Help i've upgraded to Rom 1.66.405.2(76641)wwe on my HD2 but i've seem to have lost the weather app below the clock. Instead it just says my location. is there any way to get it back.
Also i'm using the stock rom from htc as i'm on Virgin Mobile can I use the cab files for the themes & icons:confused people have made on this site as they look great.

Hi,
I have just bought a HTC HD2 from T-mobile to realise I can't upgrade the ROM through the official HTC website.
I would like to know from Virgin Costumers whether they have tried to upgrade the ROM of their HTC HD2 through the Official HTC website and whether it worked.
I am asking this because I am still on the trial period and also because of warranty issues if I try to upgrade trough another route apart from the T-mobile's...
So, the question is...
Have you got a HTC HD2 from virgin? Have you upgrade the ROM through the HTC website?
Have you turned off the weather tab at the bottom on the Sense bar? If so, you need it back on to show weather...
As for .cabs, etc. any ROM can use them (I think!!)

i'm on virgin and phone came unlocked and unbranded so you can upgrade it through htc website.
You should be seeing true t-mobile (US) HTC HD2 updates in this link WHENEVER they are available.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-hd2/downloads/
Ain't it weird that it's not showing the update that's already on T-Mo's page, though?...
I think it's because technically it's a T mobile phone now and HTC probably isn't supporting the ROM updates. It's listed under T Mobile brand on Tmos website, so that is why I'm thinking this. My Touch Pro on Sprint got updates from HTC, but it was listed as an HTC phone.
Well my T-mobile TP2 is on the HTC section of the list in that support section, and the official upgrade ROM that came out months ago still isn't up...so I think it may be a case of Tmo and HTC just having an agreement that Tmo handles it's own update releases. Just a guess though.
has anyone flashed the new rom yet? any bugs? i'm out of town and can't flash 'til i get home...is it worth it?

Hi,
Please forgive me as I have been searching everywhere online and on the forum for my answer.
I have a HTC Legend (Virgin) that is unlocked - Running on Rogers.
1st Question: Is this phone Rootable? I have heard yes and I have heard no, based on the firmware that it is presently running.
2nd Question: Is it possible if the phone is rooted to flash a Basic 2.2 Android Rom (I personally don't use HTC Sense)
The reason I am asking as HTC Announced that 2.2 Will not be updated until Christmas time.
And Before anyone says I should have bought the NEXUS One - The reason - THE SIZE
That phone is huge, I previously had an Xperia X10, which was TOO Big and I quite like the build quality of the Legend.
Thanks for all your Help! I Greatly Appreciate it!
Yes the phone is rootable, but you're right it depends on what version you currently have installed. Check out the android development section to figure out what you can and can't do.
Froyo at christmas is incorrect.
Htc has said all current devices will have froyo before christmas. However speculation says the legend itself should most likely have it in or around august.
Next, if you manage to root your phone you can talk a look in the android development section(again) for the legend and you will find 1 or 2 froyo roms have been ported semi successfully. They work and run but have a few minor problems.
One is the cyogen mod 6 (I probably spelled it wrong)thread.
You cannot flash a stock version of froyo to the legend, you will have to use one of these roms.
Hope I could help. I'm looking at getting the virgin mobile legend myself soon. are you happy so far?
Thanks
Thanks for your info! I was just feeling a little overwhelmed with all the info as I am not really up with all the lingo.
To answer your question about the Legend, I love it! The build quality is Superior, it just fits in your hand so nicely, and looks good there as well.
I have had MANY cell phones in the last 5 years (Well over 40...) and this is one that I know I will keep for a long time... More so than the iPhone.
Cheers.

Hey,
To be honest I took it to an Unlocking place in Vancouver, It took them aprox 20 min to complete, It still has a few Apps for Virgin/Bell on the phone however no where does it have the Virgin Logo Etc. I use the Rogers APN Settings rogers-core-appl1.apn and it works flawless with 3G
I have not been able to get 2.2 onto this phone at this point, I may just wait until it's pushed out by HTC.
This sounds GR8!
I'm waiting for my Legend to arrive any day, now...

Do You know what they did to the phone? To unlock it i mean....
I ordered Wildfire but changed my mind and changed the order to Legend...
A good choice i think...
Been using my KAISER for a looong time now and it's time for a retirement, i think
Just installed Donut Android on my KAISER but it soaks battery so i think i have to revert to WM 6.5 again....
I think i'll use it as a backup phone for some time
Does anyone know if tom tom works on Legend?
The unlock was done through the store so not quite sure on how it was completed. I have seen many websites that offer the unlock.
In regards to TomTom try the Google navigation. It's amazing. Works great and integrates with your contacts and the mapping program quite well. I find the voice to be quite rough. Hopefully they'll allow changes to that after its out is Beta.

Doesn't Google Navi go online to get positions?
Could be costly, wouldn't it
I'll try it out though
Tom Tom has the maps in map folder so no online search and so on....
regarding the unlock thingy i guess someone figures it out so we can do it ourselves
Maybe somewhat like the KAISER unlock i guess...

Where did you buy it?
I bought my legend at Virgin (349 CAD) and am running Rogers as well, to unlock it you need to purchased the unlock code from HTC by providing the phones S/N. Their are lots of places online that will provide the codes for $10-20, I haven't been able to find a free source.
Currently their is no software unlock for this phone.

Heard the n1 has already got froyo..i hope it wont be long for the legend & desire
I have the Virgin Mobile (Canada) HTC Legend and can confirm I was able to successfully unlock it for usage on Fido/Rogers. After this I upgraded the rom using a gold card to a stock HTC rom to remove the Bell/Virgin crapware.
After this I found the downgrade path to 1.31 which has successfully allowed me to have the phone rooted. Now I just need to wait for a good rom to be made with sense. So far all the roms I have tried do have their own issues like, camera problems, pinch zoom functionality...

Sounds good, Im going to grab myself one from Virgin soon, except they are all sold out in canada now i currently have a European version, run around edge only but i love it. By the way, where did you find the stock HTC rom?
I plan to buy an HD2 to satiate me from now until September (upgrade) as my HTC Hero is just too laggy for me these days.
Is the process of hacking/installing Android a fairly easy one? Am I right to think that Clockwork is available for HD2? Is it just as simple as any other Android phone when it comes to ROM installation/backup/etc (once Clockwork is on board)?
Does the HD2 (with Android) support bluetooth headphones? Specifically play/pause/skip buttons?
Sorry I didn't research this
Auctions on eBay end soon so I thought it better to get some quicker advice from informed people
Hacking is extremely easy all you have to do is run an .exe file while on boot loader (pressing vol down and power button) heres the thread for it

AS far as android it's just as easy heres how to install NAND

What's the best order to do this? I assume the way you linked it, just want to make sure.
Any HD2 can be hacked, correct? EDIT: Is that what LEO512/1024 refers to?
It's the way its listed and yes any hd2 can be hacked the Leo 542 and 1024 just refers to the region 1024 is t-mobile and the other is the European model. Make sure you know which one you get the radios are different on one vs the other

Well I'm from Scotland so I can be fairly confident of what model I'd get
I let the bid go by. I will most likely buy one in future. Thanks for the help
HD 2's are still pretty high in price. Contract wise you can get a desires at the same price. That tells you all you need to know that its possibilities are great 18months after its launch. I'm just sorry I didn't flash android sooner myself

£200 with some accessories, as-new :E
Any ROMs you guys would recommend? Should I stick with 2.2 Sense or go with GB? (I have been running GB on my Hero)
EDIT: Also, there won't be any issues with downgrading this (if necessary), right?
It's locked to Orange btw.
If you're still speaking about the hd2, no there's no problem downgrading its actually really easy no matter the carrier. As far as roms I'm partial to mdj's gingerbread build its far and for me I've been using it for over a month and its pretty much bug free the only issue is slow gps it works but personally I have found it a little sluggish

Am I right to think that I won't need to downgrade in order to use HSPL3?
Is that literally the first step? Run that while in boot loader?

Hey guys!
So, I finally have two HD2s here, and I'm an idiot so I want a run through of a few things to start off here.
Well, I had a bricked T-Mobile HD2, and I just of recent put a new motherboard in, and it now charges, so I know it works. But thing is, it has had a task29 on the motherboard so I have no clue as to what to do next.
I also have a cracked European HD2 that I bought off a friend for $50. Just has a crack under the glass, and a few dead pixels around the crack. It is running an Android rom of some sort, but I'm wanting to know something.
I want to install either Pdaitejam or Yuki [Back to the Future] Windows Phone 7 builds on both of the HD2s. Now, I wish to be able to do this without bricking either of them LOL.
I need a runthrough of the exact HardSPL and radio, how to install them plus Magldr, and more, so I can hopefully get them running Windows Phone. I already have two live activation codes so I'm good to go.
Thanks,
CJ
