Hi ,
I know you probably will say to search the forum but i have and couldnt find anyhing.
Loads of froyo downloads but nothing what states WHAT to do to prepare the phone for froyo.
In the adroid q and a forum it says technically you dont need hard spl to get android.
So may someone kindly indicate which rom is required if required for froyo 2.2
Do i need anything else??
I tried to install froyo on my o2 htc hd2 with rom 1.72.206.3 with manilla 2.5.201... and radio 2.07.51 ....
It started and then a green and sometimes a line went down the screen and the orange charging light came on. So it was not sucessfull.
I will be so gratefull if someone indicates how to get Froyo Darkstone working.
Thaniks

hi. i just bought a tmobile hd2. some of my phones informations is:

ram 576 mb
flash size 1024mb
i've read lots of articles on this site. i suppose i'll need to instal another rom on my phone. i read a lot but i get little confused. i think first i have to instal HardSPL (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614) second i have to flash a radio and i can instal a rom. and on this page (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784) it says i don't need to flash a radio. which means that i just install hardspl and instal this rom... am i right?
can you guys help me what am i suppose to do... and which version of hardspl, radio and rom works well for me?
sory to ask lots of questions but i don't know enough about wm phones ( thanks for guides...
Hi, basic steps are
1. Backup your important data like contacts etc..
2. Its very IMPORTANT that you Flash HardSPL first before flashing any ROM (No worries,it only needs to be done once for you to enjoy subsequent custom ROMs). Version 2.08.HSPL is ok.
3. Browse the threads for a suitable "TMobile HD2 compatible ROM" or visit this link for comfirmed ROMs.
4. Perform a Hard reset after successfully flashing any of the ROMs
5. Enjoy!
i suggest u clear your schedule, get coffee, tea, drink(s) and visit This Link . It contains info and links to all the guides you can possibly need to push you and your device to a higher level. i wouldn't recommend trying android till you are very comfortable with flashing ROMs.
you dont need to worry about the radio just yet, because since you have a tmous phone, it already has a radio that will work with all tmous compatible roms anyway.
Well I'm gonna just say right now I'm not an expert or anything since I'm relatively new too. I'm just trying to help, I would however advise wait for a more experienced person to answer.
First, if you want to flash a ROM follow this guide for the TMOUS HD2's. It goes over how to do it, which ROMs are compatible and all that.
Yes, you do have to get HSPL (except I think there are methods when you don't, though that might just be for the international phones...). But to get HSPL you should probably use this. I don't know if it is the only thing that does it but it, from what I understand, is the most well known. It also keeps you from "bricking" your phone.
From what I understand the only time you have to flash a radio is if the ROM needs it, and the chefs will say if it needs a certain one or list ones that it works with on their ROM page. I think most of them support the radio that comes stock, though don't take my word for it. I would wait for someone else to confirm or re-explain this paragraph because I'm not completely for sure.
As for which ROM is right for you...well only you can answer that. They all are different and different ones have advantages over the others. You just gotta explore a little and see what looks nice. This is the list of ROMs that support the T-Mobile HD2 so stick to it. I don't know how up-to-date it is (meaning I don't know if there are any new ones or not) but stick to those, you can "brick" your phone otherwise.
I would however advise if you're new to WM phones to try out themes first. They are a lot safer and I don't think there is any chance of ruining your phone (the only reason I flashed mine is because I've done it with a different phone before and felt comfortable doing it). Don't do anything you are uncomfortable doing and understand all the risks that go into anything you do to your phone before you do them.
Sorry for the long post, just hope this helps a little.
Edit:
I just got double ninja'd

That's d spirit...You'll be amazed @ what the search function on XDA coughs up...Everything'll go well once u stick to d guides and TMobile compatibie ROMs & Radios.
i picked up this rom (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652649) but there is two options. 1) com5(c5) 2)com2(c2). i don't know what it means... and if want to install one of these roms do i have to flash a radio after installing hspl?
and what is the stock rom?
thanks again...
It looks like COM5 and COM2 are just different versions. COM5 offers more options it looks like though, but I'm not sure. Someone else can probably answer that a lot better than me. I am also unable to answer the radio question. Sorry.
As for stock ROM though, that is the ROM that came already on your HD2 when you got it.

I see u picked out Kumar's ROM...Click Here for a thread on the definitions and differences between COMs...And No, you won't need to flash a radio after installing HSPL or a custom ROM (Unless you are having problems connecting to your network in which case, u need 2 be careful 2 flash a radio known to work with Tmobile HD2).
Stock ROM is the original/default ROM which TMobile shipped with your device. Follow this guide and you can grab the stock ROM from here. The Stock ROM has to be re-flashed to your device if u ever have to return it to Tmobile as flashing a custom ROM voids your warranty. Grab useful links and watch video tutorials here.
Hope dis helps ya.

You are welcome, we r all noobs on different levels..
Dear All,
i face the following issues.
1) if i use froyo stone clean build (Release date: 07.AUG.2010 GMT)
after i following all the instructions, i hang on the line "jumping to kernel"
>> a search on the forum, ask me to change ram addresses and cmd="ips****", but it doesnt help.
2) if i use the latest Parad0XUA_Experimental, it hangs on "init panel" then the screen fades to black.
I would be glad if someone could help me on this
Thank you
whizz
Sorry i cant help, but i have the exact same jumping to kernal problem and thats with any version of android ive tried. Ive got a box full of HD2's and no version of android will work on any of them. Do you need custom ROMS to run them?
Really hope someone can answer this, we cant be the only people to have this issue.
You certainly need to change the Radio to a .50, and it would appear that a custom ROM helps too.

Thanks man! Installed HSPL3 and a different radio. Got it to boot now!
Awesome!!!!! Fantastic!!! thank U thank U

I have tried all radio version (2.08 ~ 2.12) none of them work for all fullram version ...
Changing the ROM did it for me. I was using a .51 ROM...replaced it with 2.15.50 ROM..Now, its fine and I must say Darkstone ROM is quite stable and performance is good too..I am using it on a 2GB card..( my 8GB went bad..Waiting for a replacement.. ) and it still gives me amazing speed.
I have resolved the problem using only the latest version of official rom by HTC without HSPL or anything else
First let me take the time and express my thanks for the developers/brilliant minds who made android on the HTC HD2 possible thanks so much ...
Now onto my issues well ive installed mattc 1.8 with radio 2.14.50 and i formatted my SD card before hand and followed the guide to a teeth.. But no matter which version ive loaded so far or radio i have tryed thus far i keep having the issue with phone calls incoming and outgoing.
with my last install "mattc 1.8" i was able to make one call but had the robot voice then i get a error stating somethng phone related wont work honestly the rest of the OS performs great so if i could resolve teh calling issue id be set any help would be appreciated here is some more information i have attempted..
radios ive tryed:
2.12.50
2.8.50
installs:
froyo 2.2
shubcraft v1.5
Hyperdroid 1.6
thanks in advance and sorry this had to be my first post
I suggest you do a task29 to your device, flash a new radio, flash an android-friendly rom (chuckydroid for example) then format your sd once again and go with the most recent build available.
I believe your problem may lie with the rom. It is the one part of this equation that you did not mention in your post.

I used the radio 2.12 for a while. Suddenly i got problems. Tried another Winmo Rom and Android builds. Nothing helped. Then i changes to radio 2.10 and suddenly everything was working. So you can try switch to radio 2.10
OK, thanks to everyone here I finally flashed my HD2 and I liked it a lot. I tried the Energy Rom and Core Cell Rom and they both worked great and have there advantages. But I have a new question now. I want to change my phone back to stock, which stock rom should I download? And is the installlation process the same as flashing the phone with a custom rom?
hmmm...
im assumin you have a tmous HD2. if so you can find the original tmobile rom on their website. just search for hd2 software update on the search portion. same as here, you can find it. just gotta look and not ask a question when you can find it yourself. also i think this question doesnt belong under this thread mayb under HD2 general..
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml thats helpful... use it to flash back..
ok, thanks for the help. but i have a question and something else as well. I clicked on the link and read over everything it says:
NOTE: The software update is only designed to update the ROM version from 2.10.531.1 and 2.13.531.1 to 3.14.531.1. If at any point the software was changed from 2.10.531.1 or 2.13.531.1 by flashing to unsupported software, sometimes called rooting or hacking, then we strongly recommend you do not perform this update, as it was not designed to update unsupported software.
It seems like their saying don't use this update if I flashed another rom besides the stock rom which it came with. So exactly what do I do from here? Not trying to sound slow or anything, but I want to becareful with these things. And besides I don't have a spare phone to use and would hate to brick this one up. Any help is appreciated.
I got my TMOUS HD2 yesterday and to go around customs, I asked if the seller could flash there nonbootable ROM, which I made (HTC Oboe XIP and no IMGFS to be sure it wouldn't boot ). When it arrived, I just flashed the 3.14 ROM without single errors and keeping HSPL2.
Do it, there won't be problems .
this thread came in time. today i got a message from tmobile indicating that there is a new update available. i wanna give it a shot and if i don't like it then I'm going to upgrade to the cell core v3 since i've been using v2 for a while
Hey guys, im not really big on technology , but for the last 5 hours i have been trying to get android on my HTC HD2. I have ROM 3.14 and Radio version 2.15. but my SPL is 2.10. If correct i believe I need SPL 3.03? I have no idea as to how to do that. Im new on this site so please forgive me if this post has already been done. Much help would be appreciated.
Do you want NAND or SD Android?
Im sorry , but i dont know the difference . I think i have been trying to get the SD android.
In that case, you have everything you need. Forget about HSPL. That's only needed if you need to change radio, and you don't.
Just follow the instructions on how to install the Android build that you have downloaded and you'll be up and running.
Android on SD is pretty straight forward - it's just copy, paste and run - so you shouldn't have any problems.
Thank you very much sir. I really appreciate the help.
