[Q] Help Please :) - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I am probably the 1,000,000th person to ask this question.
But I just can't figure out how to get Android 2.2 on my HTC HD2 Leo..
I followed a lot of tutorials and youtube videos but I just don't get the 'Radio Flashing' and such. I have to check my SPL and to do that is hold down volume button and reset.. Well I did that, but still don't see SPL anywhere.
And other people just download the whole Android folder and copy in into the root and then install 2 files on it (I tried it too) but I got exactly the same thing as this guy, black screen:
www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=zivfv_6EKsc
All the tutorials don't explain enough on how to see what SPL or Radio version or something I have and I don't know how to install the new or flash them or anything . I feel really n00bish, but I really really want to know how to install it.
Maybe one of you has a good tutorial? Or one you used to install it? maybe this may help, when I boot my phone I see this:
R 2.06.51.07
G 15.30.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
Do I need to use any of these? Of Upgrade/downgrade? I really hope someone can help a noob like me, and I really hope that you understand that I just don't get it..

Simple. Your radio ROM is 2.06, and that won't work.
Get a 2.10+ radio ROM and you'll be fine.
...Jesus we need a sticky to tell people about radio ROMs... it's always the one thing holding them back...

Thankyou for your help!
p.s. this site is really cool!
Welcome to the site first and foremost..Um I have a youtube vid that shows you how to flash a newer rom to your phone..now what your going to realize is that some roms are fit to your liking others are not...if you wanna take a look at my video on how to flash the rom its pretty easy just follow steps as follows 100%...if you want a touch it rom just when you get to the point in the video where you download the rom and extract it to the RUU FOLDER, extract the touch it rom to the folder and continue with the vid..if you like the video and care to buy me a coffee you can donate to me in my signature!!
i am new too. I would like to put a new rom on my phone. do i search your name on youtube?
Plus I am look more so for looks and speed. what are some good roms to get?

To check your SPL and IPL, enter bootloader. Hold down the the voice and camera button, then hit the soft reset button. About HardSPL and other stuffs, please read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369397.
It's a good guide. This is for your own good, don't rush and you may end up bricking your phone. I am a noob too. Just take a few hours to read them, and I am now ... I don't know, I lost count of the number of roms I flashed.

Try the TouchIT or OpenTouch roms, They are very good, both in speed and look. I know I may sound weird, but I am using TouchIT 3.0 (I think the newest one is TouchIT 6 or something like that). It is so fast that I don't even need to over clock. The other roms I usually over clocked them to 247.
ITje, the author for the TouchIT roms removed all his download links before because someone sold the roms in eBay, but here is the list his previous ones

HTC Magic (Vodafone) - Sense? How? - Help Plz :/

Hi,
I've taken the plunge and finally moved from Windows Mobile to Andriod - picked up a HTC Magic (UK - Vodafone) its already sim unlocked... Having a play with it before i decide whether the HTC Supersonic is worth splashing out on when it comes out..
I know that you cant get the sense upgrade for the UK Vodafone HTC Magic - but i've seen some buzz words like rooting / flashing on here which suggests its still possible.
There are so many threads on here - its difficult to just find what i need - so if anyone could help i'd really appreciate
- Need a simple, idiot proof guide on how to get my HTC Magic with a sense rom on it (I have a 16gb memory card if it requires)
I just want a nice stable ROM which everythings works on - and a foolproof guide on how to install. So both pointing towards the guide, and pointed towards what the best ROM is.
Thanks for the help fellas
Since i don't have a clue what kind of magic the (UK - Vodafone) is i wont be able to guide you unless i start to search for info myself. So please provide me/us with more info about your phone and you probably have better luck getting help. What there will be useful to know is which Hardware revision and SPL you have. To figure that out you should check out the wiki there you should find more than enough info to get started. I will look back in this thread again tomorrow to see if you got further but still need some guidance.
Good luck with this, its not to hard as long as you care to read and read carefully before jumping into doing something there could brick your mobile. Bricks is often made when people does something without fully understanding what they are doing and what it does to the phone. But first of all figure out if you got a 32A or 32B board and what is the SPL. When you know this its easier to figure out what method you need to use to flash a cooked rom into the phone and what rom that will be suitable for the phone you got.
My guess is that since you write that the mobile wont get any sense update it will be a 32B board you got, but again this should not be a guessing game cause it can brick your mobile
You'll have to do some research on your own first. Get some ideas on what SPL's are, how to root, etc. etc. I did a month of research before I did root my phone and flashed different ROMs.
You need to provide your information about your phone like what SPL (although I would guess 1.33.0004 since I do have vodafone Magic as well), running on cupcake or donut, etc. That being said, I have a couple of sites that might be able to help you. Read/watch these thoroughly and understand them before you do root your phone.
http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/htc-mytouch-3g-magic/ (a lot of video guides that you might find useful)
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod *****I rooted my phone by using cyanogenmod's method for "Non T-mobile 32B Magics". In the last step, you can flash a different ROM instead of cyanogen's if you really want sense, but I highly recommened cyanogenmod as your first choice of ROM since it is so awesome.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking#sec02
Has a general info on 32B Magics. Useful website.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529062
Has other newbie links.
Don't be in a hurry rooting your phone as you might do something wrong (although it's hard to with all the wonderful guides out there) and deeply regret it. Do your research before you root it. And also try out different ROMs out there for Sense. People have different opinions on each ROM.
Thanks both of you
Love this site - ever need a hand.. Always people around more than willing to throw you some advise.
I haven't gotten the phone yet - arrives tomorrow. So was pre researching for when i get it..
Thanks for all the tips, i'm definitely going to research this as much as possible before attempting it.. As you say, don't want to end up breaking the phone.
I will post back here tomorrow with the motherboard / firmware details it has etc. Then see what direction you guys can point me towards .
Thanks again
Ok fellas

Those are the phone details
Where do i go from here . - "Non T-mobile 32B Magics" guide? and instead of cyanogenmod ROM use one i want?
Also any of u know what the most stable - fast Sense UI ROM is for the HTC Magic 32B is? - just want one like that with everything working.
From reading - looks like this is the best HTC Sense UI ROM to use:

Question i got - what is Death SPL - and do i need it.. And where in the guide im using, should i do this ext 4 stuff and how
Thanks
Righty -
I decided to just follow the "Non T-mobile 32B Magics" guide you suggested - and do the Sense UI ROM later..
All done . Everything went smoothly.
Now i do wanna try and Sense UI ROM - but do i need the Death SPL? - as searching.. It seems some say thats more for the G1. Not entirely sure..
Also it requires latest radio? u guys got a guide and where i should get the latest radio.. Or is my radio fine..
Ah is ok i managed to flash it
Decided to go back to cyanogenmod stable ROM - the Sense UI ROM is almost there, but not quite yet.
Your radio is fine as it is, it won't hurt to flash the newest radio though.
Haykuro/Danger/Death SPL are the same, 1.33.2005, and again do your research before you ask questions because just asking questions and getting specific answers won't get you much.
Same thing with partitioning your SD card. I recommend checking out theunlockr.com or watch videos from youtube (lots of guides there, I recommened ItsAndroidsWorld

When you've rooted your phone the Recover Image will provide you with the options you need to partition your card.
I've personally used this ROM and it is the fastest Sense port I've tried though not something I use every day as it's not as fast as the 1.6 (Donut) based ROMs.
My personal favourite is SuperFast made by HTCClay. He also has a FastTest ROM which has links on this site but you can grab the SuperFast ROM from here the Android Spin forums. I'd post a link but it won't let me yet.
It's fast and stable and I love it.
If you want the DroidEris ROM then your phone should be able to handle it without resorting to a Death/Danger/Whatever SPL. I have the UK Vodafone Magic and I've not had to flash any new radios or SPLs to use those ROMs.
Be careful though. Once you flash one ROM you can't stop!!!
I'm a SERIAL FLASHER!!! AAAAHHH!!!

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.

Android installation help.PLEASEEE!

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.

Dude, your asking for trouble on this one, see when you started this thread did you notice the the list of similar threads that comes up?
Its been asked time and time again and some folk on here can get very very vocal when people keep asking the same questions without looking at the quite obvious theads and stickies detailing what you need to do
Another question, have you searched at all? ok i see the search function is still down so will let you off that one, but there are various stickies at the top of the Q&A section for WP7 that will help
Im not going to detail everything you need to do, but i will give you a basic list, you can find everything you need either on the stickies on the various HD2 forums, or in the Wiki, remember most of what you need to do before you even think of installing WP7 is on the standard HD2 forums.
Anyhow, here goes, (note whilst you cant search on xda developers you can (and i always use this because its much better) seach via google, use strings like "XDA DEV LEO install HSPL")
first things first you need to unlock the device, so you will need to find and follow the directions for installing HSPL
you will then need to install the correct Radio, if you have the TMOUS 1024MB HD2 you must be very careful as flashing incorrect Radio will give you a brick, most HD2s are not this version unless you live in the states. search the HD2 WP7 stickies to find out which radio
then you will need to install the MAGLDR 1.13, use google if the XDA search is nackard, search for strings like "XDA DEV LEO MAGLDR install how to"
once thats taken care off your ready for WP7, boot to MAGLDR and get it ready for a USB flash and away you go.
Im not doing this to be rude, because i could have just as easily wrote down eveything you need to do, im doing this to help you, if you read the threads you will "learn" whats going on, you will see some of the issues other people have had and you will see how they fixed them, me telling you what to do wont teach you anything and you will be back on here starting new threads about something equally well documented.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923997
note, its very unlikely you will brick your device, unless you have a 1024MB version and flash the wrong radio, more often that not, when people report bricked devices they simply have to go to boot loader mode and flash a new ROM, a stock ROM would put you right back to a factory default, radio and all. so dont panic about that, there is also the SD card flash if you cant do it via USB for any reason, but in all my years ive never had to do that.
oh an use a class 2 or 4 SD card, might not work but its a better chance than others.
Hey sorry about that, I tried searching as mention by you which didn't work. I thought the stickies threads was just rules, didn't know it includes links.
Also where can I find these radios on xda instead of some other website?
Also what's the difference between 512MB and 1024MB? Well of course it's double memory.
My phone is from UK, so i guess it's a European model?
I know I could search for these information but I thought this might show up on google search for other newbies. Thank you for helping me
1024=Tmous=USA
512=Rest of the world so you have a 512 (rom , not ram)
You can find all radios in the wm6.5 dev section (HD2 is a wm6.5 phone after all ^^ )
two words mate,
read up.

good luck!
Look, if you have questions then ask but make them specific, like the two you just gave and the radios arent on a very obvious location as ^ has mentioned, if its a UK phone you have nothing to worry about, WP7 cant use the extra 512MB of ROM anyway
remember though, google is your friend!
try search for "XDA DEV LEO radios" on google without quotes
the one you want will be the first thread or if not it will be within the top 5 XDA DEV results
same for HSPL and MAGLDR
if you get stuck youve had a look about an cant find what you are looking for then drop a question, an just say, look ive tried this this and this but im buggered if i can work it out, can you guys help
and perhaps once your done you could give complete step by step guide including all links and downloads, because your right, its not all in one place but it is all there.
One thing you MUST NOT DO is use a USA Raido to update your 512 HD2 cause you will brick your phone and it's gone till you find someone who can jtag your
phone and fix it which will cause you alot of money. Make sure you read up before
trying anything.
WP7 is quite tempting, I agree.
Though, I must admit, I'd be a little wary about installing it, as it seems like it's still quite new.
If you want to give it a shot though, I recommend picking a build out of those listed here, and reading through all the instructions and comments before deciding to install it.
Also, before you try anything, be ABSOLUTELY SURE your stuff is backed up. I can't say how many times I've lost things on my phone because I've accidentally updated a ROM without say, backing up my contacts.
I now use Google Sync to keep all my Windows Mobile and Android contacts backed up, so this doesn't happen.
I'd recommend setting up a google account, and following these instructions to backup your contacts with your google account prior to trying anything.
Anywho, bestest of luck!

europe can flash 2.xx.50.xx and 2.xx.51.xx on 512mb UK version
ok, since this is the only thing that can give you a really bad day
download this radio here
http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
you will find everything you need about radios on this thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
The directions are on that link above but basically you will also need to get two other things
Custom RUU, found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4798017&postcount=1
that is the flashing program its self, when you download a radio it wont have an installer, it will be just a single file, you will need it to flash any WM6.5 ROM or radio but usually the ROMs will have one included.
HSPL, found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5279234#post5279234
this is the really important bit, this "unlocks" the device and gives you a layer of protection should you screw it up, which is most unlikely anyway download the attached file in post number 4, its the most recent and covers pretty much anything
righty once you have all that on your PC in a nice easy to find location its time to start modding it!
HSPL first, download the program and follow the instructions on the HSPL thread, which is more or less, run the program with your phone connected and charged up, IF it cant do it then it will tell you. For WP7 you MUST install HSPL2.08 when prompted.
once done, you will not notice any difference.
now follow the directions for installing the radio you downloaded use the CustomRUU, firstly extract the file then rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU by just placing them both in the same folder (no other files in there) and running the customRUU
THAT is the hard part done, next is MAGLDR, let us know how you get on with that

Mr Philo have you got your activation code for WP7? Just dont waste your time flashing WP7 until you get a code from Microsoft.
And yes the search engine on here is not very good, but as the others said use Google.
Also when I started using XDA, i spent loads of time reading through most of the threads. And yes I read a lot before I even started to think about flashing.
But we were all Noobs, and we will help you out when you get stuck?
Also go to this thread for all info :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971478
Hey guys thanks for all the information! I just downloaded all the files that are needed and named them step by step in a folder.
First I can't check what SPL version I have. I did hold down the lower volume button down, but it only brings me to the 'vibrate, silent etc adjustment' (Yes i was holding it for 20 seconds). And it says do a reset, while holding down?? How can I do that. Sorry I know im failing already !
EDIT: Flower thankyou for the thread, but I was using it as well ! But its just the SPL bit im confused at :\
Oh yeah, I have already got a code yesterday from the UK Microsoft, was very easy
Start in bootloader mode. Shut down the phone / push and keep the vol down button and press the power button once...and wait 5s
Edit: Just saw its already answered above

Thanks, my SPL is 3.03.000!! So I need to flash a ROM or something to get SPL 1.42.0000?
I currently don't have a SD card with me right now as I left it at home and will be going home next week. So is there anyway I can flash a ROM without using a sd card?
You need to flash an old rom to get an old spl, then flash HSPL 2.08.
No need for a sd for this, juste start your phone in BL mode and execute the ruu from your pc
Which ROM should I download from the HTC website? I mean theres a few ROMs for HTC HD2.
Theres ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 - 2010-10-11
ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 - 2010-01-25
etc?
Sorry for all the questions !
I used this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995 (the Standard Version) as it already have the phone unlocked etc and have no problems with it...and had no problems activating it as well. However a lot of the other ROM's now also have your phone already unlocked etc...and most ROM's at the moment should be pretty similar as it uses the same base files.
Edit:
However...on this ROM...one of the first XAP files you should load is the Connection Setup.xap
