Ok so i have been trolling forums to get this figured out and haven't got there. i am running the stock tmo rom and hard spl 2.08 radio 2.12.50 (was 2.10) downloaded hyperdroid v1.2 and ran it, booted into android and everything was perfect. installed jmz dual boot and it worked also. shut down the phone booted into windows for something cant remember what and now when i boot into android calls dont work, either cant hear anything or hear robo voice. iv tried everything searched in forums and re formated and re installed hyper but cant get it to go away, i really dont want to use a diff winmo rom cus i am not going to use it (plan to just use android) i did notice that when i first ran clrcad i sen somthing pop up but now when i run it from winmo nothing happens as well as jmz dual boot does not work to boot into android even after reinstalling both the app and hyper. my eyes hurt please shed some light...
Seems to be the consensus that the stock rom the reason for the robot voice. clcard does nothing when you press it, it does make the sound work in the android side. All the other things you have seem to be ok
Upgrade your WinMO for FIX
The only way to fix the sound and robot voice is to upgrade your ROM i'm using Energy's TMO Leo ROM by NRGZ28 and HyperDroidV1.2 and I have no sound problems or robot voice.... just upgrade your WM ROM

Honestly bro, don't know if my situation is any differnet than yours, but I also have a TMobile HD2, and the robot voice situation was resolved by flashing a differnet radio. Although I am using 2.12.50.02. (Same one as you maybe?)The only thing solved by flashing a different rom was sleep of death.
So i flashed the energy ROM and so far all is well, is there a way to set it up to auto load android? so i dont have to deal with winmo? i know i know but i dont have the money for a vibrant lol
Something strange happened....
Ok so I'm running FroyoStone V2 with Chuckydroid ROM on Radio 2.12... and I've not had robot voice. But then earlier today my friend called and...ROBO VOICE! So I rebooted and it was gone. Just a bit strange is all that it popped up at random.
Hey all. Yes, before any of you say ANYTHING, I know this has been asked before...many times. But with searching, I have not been able to find a definitive answer to my query. We all know that if you run Android on the stock 2.13 T-Mobile ROM that you will get the whole robot voice through the earpiece...but my question is WHY does this happen? I have read that it is something to do with some .dll's within Windows...which would make sense as to why some ROMs work with it but others wont...but how is WinMo messing with Android if HaRET unloads WinMo from RAM before it starts Android. Maybe my understanding of it is wrong, I do not know. Basically I want to know for my own knowledge as to why it happens, and maybe offer some assistance. If it is something as "simple" as a .dll conflict, then maybe there is a workaround for existing users of the 2.13/.14 ROMs. I am one of those people, and through my flashing of the HD2, have found 2.13 to pretty much be the fastest and most stable for my uses, but I would also like to use Android. Anyways, in short, if someone can point me to exactly why this happens, maybe I can help out. Thanks.
i hope to get answer n solution for tis oso..
all i nd is jus HSPL + new radio or i nd a new cooked rom too?
thankz~
What is the best radio to flash if im going with the superclay superHD2? I just one that i can flash easy and not hear the robotic voice anymore
I have used radio 2.12 and 2.14 with success. I have never experienced the robot voice. However I never used android with stock roms.
I'm using vbn droid rom (minimal install of winmo) along with Hyperdroid build 1.6. I've used superhd2 build also successfully.
not sure about the robot voice
not sure why the sound gets screwed up but......I know you can run the newer stock 3.14 leaked update and it will work with android and you can keep a fully stock rom on your phone and get android too.
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 ive been looking and looking for a simple solution.
everyone knows about the robotic voice on HD2 when you get android. ive been searching old links and posts but most of it doesnt work, people say use miri, i dont really even understand what miri is. but i dont want any WinMo, i like using android on my phone, i was wondering if someone could just point me in the direction of a android build that doesnt have a robotic voice or a simple solution. Please dont be rude, ive been looking for maybe weeks, i would just like some help. i dont really mod my phone much so anything that is simple or helpful will be greatly appreciated.

You`ve searched for weeks and never stumbled upon something like :http://www.google.ro/#hl=ro&source=hp&biw=1440&bih=645&q=android+robotic+voice&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=d194facf2c53bcbc
I sincerely doubt that...
Then again, there are three main reasons you are having problems with your audio part.
1. You fail to run CLRCAD.exe before HaRET.exe;
2. Your radio is causing these issues;
3. Your ROM (WinMo ROM, NOT Android build!) is causing these issues;
Make sure you first run CLRCAD.exe, then HaRET.exe. If this is done and the issue is still present, try and flash another radio version, such as 2.10 or 2.12 (try some and see which fits you and your surroundings best). If this is taken care of as well and the issue is still present, try and use another ROM (the more basic it is, the better; I`m using one which has absolutely nothing but the old WinMo 5 interface, so it boots in about 4-5 seconds).
Good luck and please refer from posting such "famous" questions before using every option you have available.
EDIT: FYI, MIRI is a WinMo ROM customized for Android. For more information, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778398

Everything seems to be okay, as far as the radio goes. I dunno much about 2.15 but at least theoretically it should perform flawlessly. Try and use this combination of radio/ROM, it works for me:
Link to radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705098
Link to ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734238
Also, as I have mentioned before, make sure to manually run CLRCAD before HaRET (at least for the first time) so that you can be sure this is not causing it all. Keep me posted, I look forward to hearing from you.
i got static on my hd2 when i make calls. it was suggested that i change the radio rom to hopefully eliminate the static. i've never modded an hd2 phone before. i got a stock 6.5 on it. i hope its possible to change the radio rom without modding the stock 6.5. how do i change the radio rom? what are the steps?
i ask ONLY serious ppl to reply, no trolls or negative ppl.
You change the radio just like you do a ROM you can flash it via USB are flash it via SD card. Download thw Radio you want to flash and put your HD2 into bootloader by holding down the volume doen button while powering on your HD2. Connect it to you computer via USB and wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB and then flash the radio.
Be adviced though with a stock ROM if it is a 3.14 ROM these ROMs are ver dependant of what radio version you have on the phone. They need a 2.15.50.14 or 2.14.50.02 radio. If you want to use any lower radio version than these you will need to flash a custom ROM, but they may still give you issues as most of the very resent custom ROMs are based of 3.14 stock ROMs
Do not forget my wartning from my other post about what radio versions not to flash.

hi, T-Macgnolia. good to hear from u again. ok, i read your message on my other thread. below are my current specs. but honestly, this phone shouldnt make any static calls whatsoever. its brand new. it should make CLEAR calls right out the box and i shouldnt have to flash it with any roms as a result.
os version: 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
manila version: 2.5.20181424.0
rom version: 3.14.531.1 (04666) WWE
rom date : 9/29/10
radio version: 2.15.50.14
protocal version: 15.42.50.11W
it looks like i got the most current version of the radio and stock rom.
but to be honest, all this flashing sounds risky and complicated. i already owned TWO hd2s and they gave the same static. i sent the 1st one to htc for repair TWICE and it came back unrepaired. i bought a 2nd hd2 and it had the SAME static. at this point, i cant beleive that any hd2s are static free. are you guys sure u dont have static everytime someone talks on a call?
also, this loser, samsamuel, is harassing me and i dont know why!! i STRONGY urge u to ban this guy from my thread and any of my future threads. he harassed me in my prior thread and hes creating problems on this one.
Lol, I was calling you on your bad attitude, not harassing you but enough said, I'll not post in your thread again.
Best of luck with your defective Leo.
lol "i'm not paranoid, they really are out to get me!"
i just want to add a few things:
1. you shouldn't HAVE to mess with your device. in an ideal world, it should work out of the box. but such is life...
2. the rest of us don't HAVE to help you...but we do, and for free! mind you, samsamuel's thoughts and posts are valuable and insightful, and i guess any "attitude" you received was probably well placed because your conclusion in your previous thread was based on statistical evidence when we all know that "correlation doesn't imply cause and effect". finally, your "how to change radio ROM" query has already been well answered and well documented on these forums, just search and read!
and now for the thread topic:
1. having the latest version of the radio doesn't mean it is the best version for your combination of network+location.
2. i honestly don't know for sure why you get static on every hd2 you have owned. the odds of getting a lemon so many times in a row are astronomical! mine works just fine. a friend and i brought our hd2s together from the same guy on the same day. his hd2 works fine also. my uncle has two hd2s, both of his work fine. another distant relative has an hd2, and given the pattern, you'd be correct if you guessed that his works fine too. no static on any of these hd2s!
3. are you using a TMOUS sim in the phone? have you tried another sim? have you tried demonstrating the problem to a TMOUS representative in-person?
4. is the device sim free, i.e. can you try another network's sim in your device? worth a shot...might be a long standing network/tower problem in your area.
anyway, cool down dude, don't be all paranoid, no one is harassing you in the true sense of the word...just slightly using the "stick" approach to nudge you into doing more reading and research of your own. it sure beats the whole process of posting->waiting->getting harassed->posting some more->waiting->so on. cheers

i dont want your help.. dont comment on my thread anymore.
Member ASCIIker is correct as it could be your SIM card giving you issues as the HD2 has been know to act kind of funky with some SIM cards. I would see about getting a new SIM card and see if that may solve your issue. You have the current up to date ROM and Radio on your HD2 so it is more than likely a issue with something besides the HD2. Try the a new SIM and then post back here with the result.
Cheers

Damn that sucks man. Have you tried taking your SD card out maybe you got something funky going on with it as I have heard of some people taking their SD card out and it solving weird problems like this.
I assume since you said it was a prepaid card you do have your HD2 SIM unlocked, Ialso know you-know-what what SIzm unlocking is as you talked about it in the first thread I seen you in.
If trying different radios and another SIM card has not helped I am not really sure what could be the issue, unless there is just a bad cell tower or something in your area that is only malfunctioning on the GSM bands the HD2 uses. I find it hard to believe you were unlucky enough to get two HD2s that had the same issue causing static. Not saying it could not happened but the chances astronomical.
Have you tried different radios? It has been busy for my this week and I forget if you have.

Hi, T-macgnolia. I really need to update my radio ROM. But based on my current stock ROM of 3.14, I’m limited to only 2 specific radio ROMS. I’m using one of them and obviously, I’m still getting distortion on calls. As a result, I want to install a custom ROM to install a lower version radio ROM that’ll hopefully remove distortion from calls. As I said before, I’ve never modded an htc phone before.
Since I got a TMOUS phone, you said not to install the following cuz I may brick it:
Leo_RADIO_15.36.50.07U_2.09.51.03 **(from HTC **1.72)
Leo_RADIO_15.31.50.07U_2.07.51.05 **(from HTC **???? )
Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07 **(from HTCWT 1.61)
Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2 (from HTC ** 1.48)
Leo_RADIO_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2(from HTC ** 1.43)
Anyway, what custom ROM do you suggest I install for my TMOUS so that i can install the right radio ROM on it? I want one that looks exactly like WM 6.5. also, can you provide the steps needed to install a custom ROM on my SD card.. thank you.

Yes do not flash any of those radios to your HD2 as they will brick your HD2, no might to it, they will brick it. look at the numbers I have highlighted and this is what you look for in radios that will brick a TMOUS HD2, any 2.05.50.xx radio will brick it too.
Ok the one ROM that comes to my mind when you say you want a ROM that is close to stock id the Energy ROMs as the ROM chef NRGZ28 has multiple ROM versions in that thread, all of wich IO highly recomend you just have to pick your flavor. Here is a link to the Energy ROM thread if you want to look at screen shots of all the ROMs as you might find one you like more than the ones he has that are close to stock. Here is a link directly to the post #3 which has the close to stock ROMs in it, you will probably want to go with the Eergy version are the Reference version from this post. to download click on the American flag and then select the most current version of the ROM you want.
Here is something you need to know it will help you know wich download to click on when you go to hotfix from clicking on the flag. This comes straight from post #1 of the Energy ROM thread, I added the red and blue writing to help you understand.
Looking at the download folder you will find two core versions of my ROM.
* The 21916 Build which is the most reliable and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner! I recommend you start with this first!
This is the number for the closest to stock ROMs when you go to the download link.
* The 29017 Build that's the latest in the 6.5.X series with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys. These builds are not as stable or perfect, but they reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. These are also much more finger friendly throughout.
This is number for the ROMs that are a little more modified but still close to stock if you use the ROMs I suggested.

Yes do not flash any of those radios to your HD2 as they will brick your HD2, no might to it, they will brick it. look at the numbers I have highlighted and this is what you look for in radios that will brick a TMOUS HD2, any 2.05.50.xx radio will brick it too.
Ok the one ROM that comes to my mind when you say you want a ROM that is close to stock id the Energy ROMs as the ROM chef NRGZ28 has multiple ROM versions in that thread, all of wich IO highly recomend you just have to pick your flavor. Here is a link to the Energy ROM thread if you want to look at screen shots of all the ROMs as you might find one you like more than the ones he has that are close to stock. Here is a link directly to the post #3 which has the close to stock ROMs in it, you will probably want to go with the Eergy version are the Reference version from this post. to download click on the American flag and then select the most current version of the ROM you want.
Here is something you need to know it will help you know wich download to click on when you go to hotfix from clicking on the flag. This comes straight from post #1 of the Energy ROM thread, I added the red and blue writing to help you understand.

hi, T-Macgnolia. thanks for the info. i got a question. i like the 'Reference 21916 build' ROM. but, i dont like the big soft keys (action and menu) at the bottom. i like the way the soft keys look on the stock wm 6.5. can i customize it to make the bottom look exactly like the bottom of the stock wm?
do you know if this ROM is the latest version?
also, hows the battery life on this ROM? i need to make sure that this ROM doesnt drain the battery... this is very important for me.

WM6.5 Stock uses an older Windows Mobile Build.. Build 6.5.3 I believe was the when it started to be more finger friendly and in turn has the larger buttons.. So if you like how the older build looks then look for roms that have that version of WM6.5
Look in the WM6.5 Themes you might find something you like
As for Battery Life.. It all depends many factors... Some say the latest Radio has a higher battery usage while others say the complete opposite.. You must check which combination of Radio/ROM fits your location the best and if the battery is decent enough to stick with.. That why most people start out thinking they wont flash roms, but once they start having problems or want better performace they change their mind

21916 will give you start menu in the top left corner without the big ugly softkeys... thats the other build number.
It only shows that in the pic as it seems to be the most popular version.
Battery life with energy roms tends be less than some other roms as they are optimised for speed. Battery life is by no means bad though. You should still be able to make it through a full day without worrying about running out of juice. That said, there are other roms which will give you better battery life if this is a huge issue for you.
Also, not sure if this has been mentioned yet but when trying out different radios its apparently a good idea to test it out for at least 48hrs before you decide if its making a difference or not.....
Yes koolxx as canantroutman posted the 21916 ROM will give you the same soft keys at the bottom and the same start key at the top like the stock ROMs do.The ROM you like the Reference ROM is based of the latest stock ROM so yes it is the latest ROM. So far as battery life goes I can not give any first hand feed back on this as AI have not used that ROM. What I can do though is refer you to member facdemol's "Various ROMs power consumption" thread, link is below. If you go and read his first post you can see from his test resoults that all ROMs use just about the same power as far as power consumption goes, but he does say that all around the Energy ROM does best on power consumption. Go check the thread out it is a very informative thread and project he is working on.
