Hey all...
I've read the Noob thread on how to flash your first ROM. I ran the Elegancia Rom but it was too much/too busy for me. However, I must say it was quick in response.
By reading the thread I was able to return my phone back the the factory shipped ROM.
My question is, I would like to try Froyo 2.1. Do I need to have a custom ROM in order to try it?
If so, any suggestion on what works best. I was thinking about trying the Energy Rom next.
I'm a noon to just got mine yesterday running energy and look amazing and froyo run smooth

Android works on Stock, but yes, some Custom ROM's have been known to work better with Froyo. Also, upgrading your radio may help, such as 2.12.50.02_2.

Here's the flashing guide.
Just be careful - use the right guide according to your HD2 model (aka. is it a T-mobile model or not?)

Im currently using energy GTX with shubcraft 1.5, and it works near flawlessly for me.

wow ok thx !!!
I just flashed to the leaked 3.14 update, and it does indeed work with Android. I'm booting the ShugCRAFT 1.5 distro, and i've got 3G data, working voice and MMS. Seems that the quest for a stock ROM with working drivers is close to over. The leaked test ROM seems to be fairly stable aswell. I will report back if I run into anything strange. You can get this new leaked ROM from here:

Ha!! YES!!
Finally getting somewhere i posted asking if anyone else had flashed the new leaked stock rom. good to see another thread about this. i have been using Mdeejay's Evo build since yesterday battery life is better wifi works nothing new to report.

Thank you!
--Edit--
About 5 or 6 pages in, there is a multi-mirror link for people who have issues with RapidShare (like me).
I just installed this new stock and it does not support the darkstone froyo 2.1 that I already had installed on my SD card. I do get 3g and WiFi, but I also get the robot voice when calling, so it's useless to me. I'm gonna give a couple of other builds a shot, just in case and report back.
Wow, talk about fast! The new 3.14 seems to blow away the 2.15 in terms of speed. EVERYTHING seems faster. It also has some new stuff included such as Shazam and a new HTC Music client...
As a geek, I gotta say that having 3.14 as a release version is uber cool
So I downloaded and installed the new darkstone Desire HD Beta-2 build and it runs flawlessly. Err... well other than the already known issues such as camera, ringtone, etc.
I hate the bloatware, but being back to stock is awesome as well
--Edit--
So yeah, it was cool, but I decided I really wanted to go back to AthineOS to get away from the bloatware.
I had installed the new stock via microSD, which over-writes everything including SPL. This meant that, because HSPL3 is iffy with newer versions, I went ahead and downloaded the current official ROM from T-Mobile and flashed it via usb first. Then I was able to safely HSPL3 and then flash my fav ROM.
Overall, the new stock is very rocking and I can't wait for someone to cook a stripped-down ROM based on it

Thank you so much. I talked with a T-Mobile customer support person today and he told me that the official ROM 3.14 was going to be released tomorrow!
I'm using the leaked rom, probably not necessary but I'll load the official rom when it's released. It's working great with Android and I haven't unlocked, used hard spl or any other custom roms yet

hey guys im posting this to ask you guys which custom rom i could flash to my htc tmobile hd2 leo to make it work with android 2.2 desire build...... im looking for a rom that can fix my radio so i can make phone calls.. and i rom that would decrease the amount of battery usage my android system wastes.... cause right now without a flash my android system itself is wasting a ****load of battery!!!! so if there is a rom that can do all of this... let me know please!!!
You have already posted this! AND we answered you! It is not your ROM that is causeing your battery to drain so quickly while using Android, its ANDROID that is doing it. Some builds of Android are not as good at battery management as others...you just gotta find one that works for you. Please don't post this question again. You are using the stock ROM, which doesn't really work with Android..your calls won't work using the stock ROM. You must flash a new ROM in order to use Android, or download one of the Desire HD flavors of Android...don't ask me which one because I don't remember, just use the search function or read the threads in the Android section.

so if i flash a custom rom that works it will fix the battery problem??? or just the calling???
Didn't we already tell you that haret kills windows mobile. I recomend you use the Chuckydroid windows mobile rom found in the android development section.
Your horrible battery life is not due to windows mobile. It's due to the android build, try using the nexus one 2.2.1 build.
So tomorrow I have a brand new HTC HD2 from T-MOUSA arivving brand new. Of course the first thing I wanna do is root it, after I figure out which rom to choose. Before I do that are there some things I should do first right out the box?
1. Using TMO? (if not - unlock)
2. Flash to custom firmware.
3. ... of course, install Android SD and forget about WM

Custom firmware is custom but it is still Windows Mobile (WM). So if you flash a custom ROM you still have WM but just a way more smooth WM ROM.
Flash it with mgldr then clockwork mod then android nand flash. I like tween typhoon rom

Sorry everyone I totally forgot about this thread. Well when I got the phone the SPL or the radio didn't match the prerequisites it needed to match for the rom I wanted (HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6). After 36 hours of reading and researching I figured out I needed to flash a stock rom in order to get the prerequisites I needed. After finding the stock rom, on TMOUS website, I installed in it installed the new radio and spl, the same ones I needed. So I followed the guide and installed HardSPL and then MAGLDR then flashed it with HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6 and it worked flawlessly. I would highly recommend this rom for the HD2.

Nice ROM choice there! Your HD2 is going to surprise you a lot more than the newer devices and their surface-appealing specs.

Yes there are plenty of Gingerbread ROMs (2.3.3 and 2.3.4) for the HD2. Go have a look in the HD2 Android NAND Development forum.

Yes you are using a Froyo ROM, Gingerbread has several advantages over Froyo, one being a better keyboard. Also there is a lot of apps that do not run on Froyo but do on Gingerbread.
hi if i have androied on my phone htc hd2 can i just down load a new rom and install it?
You need to be reading around in the HD2 Android forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=743
Yes, all you need to do is download and install another ROM. There are instructions for installation in whatever ROM you choose to install. There are a lot to choose from.
whats the best one?

Really, you can't ask that kind of question around here and expect a serious reply. Try Tytung, that was previously recommended to you. Or Hyperdroid, or AmeriCan Android.
Try any or all of them.
