I'm raging over this phone!!11

I'm so tired of this phone right now but since my company only offers HTC phones with WinMo this is the only one that's "interesting".
It has actually worked kinda well the last month but after I changed ROM last Friday it has been totally unusable. After the ROM-change I couldn't hear anything when I made a call so I changed radio, problem solved... I thought.. The phone freezed after one hour so I had to take the battery out and when I tried to boot it again it took the phone 6-7 minutes to get past the screen with Rom and Radio information. When it got past it I got the first booting screen with the "Windows is setting up your phone" blahblah so it was like I have made a hard reset.
Ever since I have tried different ROMs and different radios but nothing helps, it keeps giving me these crazy problems. On some ROMs I'm unable to save and access my contacts etc. One thing that is persistent is the time to get pass the screen with ROM and radio information, it's really slow no matter which ROM or radio I'm on. Of course I haven't tried all ROMs and radios but around 4 ROMs and 3 radios.
Is there anything else then ROM and radio that can be updated or replaced because I'm on the edge here and I'm about to throw it in front of a car just to get rid of it.
I appreciate all the help I can get.

Hi, try out OzROM and Radio 2.08_2. This combination is very fast, stable and usefull. I have testet a very lot other Roms but OzROM is the best off all !
Never hang since 1.30, good phonequality and no big Problems.
And remember to make a hardreset after flashing !!!

Thanks for the reply. I will test what you suggested but I don't have that much hope
I always hard reset after flashing.
Edit: is this the radio you suggest: 2.08.50.08_2 ?

How many ROM's have you flashed since you got your HD2? were they from the same Cook?
I always Flash a Stock ROM (via USB of course so I don't lose HSPL) before flashing to a new ROM by a different Cook... (so If I was on LIA, before flashing Dutty's I flash the Stock ROM, before flashing Artemis, Flash the stock ROM, before flashing Miri... and so on...)
If I want to get a truly clean device, I do a task 29 via mtty, which is akin to formatting your PC before you install a new OS.
Try mtty, its fast, easy and the results are proven (head over to the stickied mtty thread on HD2 ROM Development)

one of the reasons I have never flashed a custom ROM...the stock rom may have bugs but I have found that custom ROMS have so many more!!
I've yet to find a stable one, so now I don't bother with them...pity as they do have some nice features, but I can't live with the drawbacks

If its a company phone and, I assume, you use it for business purposes in the main and it was working ok, why did you upgrade the rom with the risk that you might break something?
How much reading have you done on here? Have you looked at the Hints & Tips thread fpr fixes or the "HD2 died- or did it" thread that deals specifically with the lockup issue?
If you are a secret rom junkie, flashing roms every 5 minutes, are you aware of the issues with doing so and the need for MTTY?
I tend to be very helpful to people in trouble; however I am struggling to understand why you fiddled around with a business phone that appears to be critical to you and was, as I understand it, working perfectly beforehand?

Jes thats it, you can download it on the OzRom Site

If you get Duttys HG ROM from my sig radio 2.08 is included so no extra flashing needed

In addition to the other recommendations in this thread (mtty/stock rom, etc.), I would recommend you stick to the 6.5 series (21xxx) rather than 6.5.x (23xxx) for added stability and speed.

Yes its a company phone and yes it worked "ok" after trying different custom ROMs. But I think that a phone in this price class should be working perfectly and not just ok. That's why I tend to flash a new ROM once in a while, because I want perfection. And we all know that HTC won't give us that.
Even though the last working ROM was ok, there still were some issues that didn't affect my daily use but that bugged me a bit, that's why I wanted to try a newer ROM.
I don't know that much about MTTY but I will look into it now. Thanks for the heads up.

no device will give you perfection - it's impossible as everyone has different perceptions of perfection

True, but all programs and features that's implemented in the phone should work as designed. If they don't, the device isn't perfect imo.

Do you know how many issues Apple fix with the iPhone each week? All phones have issues, all PCs have issues, anything to do with tech has issues!!
End of the day you either try and fix it, send it back or wait for HTC to fix it (although some issues may be down to M$ themselves)...

LeoLite 2.3 with radio 2.08.50.08_2 is sweet!

The ROMeOS ROM is great as well - head to romeos.monx.biz for that one...

MTTY
I'd reiterate the advice about the MTTY, my device was utterly corrupted and flashing didn't help. After a MTTY format its back to 100%. Choose your ROM's carefully though, i still had some stability issues with some of the more exotic ROM's (even after a MTTY), I ended up choosing something closer to stock (Dutty) which was rock solid.

New rom issues

Hi people, this site has done wonders... kind of
just by reading alot of posts and info here ive been able to flash my htc and change roms, as im in australia i get all that telstra logo crap all through the phone.
My problem lies that once ive installed a new rom, customised the settings how i like, ill find 9 out of 10 times the phone will not restart and gets stuck at the white htc screen, it stays there and wont budge, even after 10- 15 mins
just curious as to what i could be doing wrong to cause this
currently its been flashed with HSPL and running the Touch-IT_BL_23569_tmous2.13_w_cookies_1.8.0 rom
i like it but cant use the phone most of the time after its restarted, and i definately dont want to revert back to the crappy telstra rom
any help would be much appreciated
thanks

You need to flash a suitable radio for the rom your using.
Read the thread for the rom your using and see what radio they suggest.
Put the phone in to bootloader mode and flash the radio.

Thanks alot mate, been 3 days messing around with this, and a thread was my last resort
much appreciated

Robot Voice/no sound ....

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.

What radio are you using and did you run CLRCAD.exe?

Radio versions are responsible for almost every problem running android on HD2. You should really upgrade to version 2.12 and compare. Also try upgrading your winmo rom to one of the other winmo rom's on the this site, since they tweak and change minor things which may have an impact. I use ChuckyROM, which is nice because it has a cool loader for launching android with the click of a button.

What are some reliable radios yall recommend to use and I have a cooked winmo Rom already but I can do everything on the Android but make a call I can receive text emails and surf but can't make calls :/

Like the above poster already suggested, use 2.12. This is the newest radio. It works great for me.

I am using radio 2.15.50.14 and cannot get android to run
I run HARET and it shows a couple of lines of code, then within 3 or 4 seconds of running it, I get lots of static horizontal white lines and the device basically bricks and I have to remove the battery.
Any ideas?

I had this same problem when I first started reading about droid on HD2.
Make sure you flash your phone with HSPL and make sure you format your memory card as FAT32.

problem calling, american suffix added
hi,
i have recently upgraded my hd2 with the latest winmo (oct 2010) and install Android 2.2 with sense. that works fine, but i have sometimes a problem when i'm trying to make call, the phone add automatically the usa suffix to my number :s
example if i try to call a 06xxxxxxxxhe will try to call the 00106xxxxxxxx.
can someone please help me to resolve that.
thank you very much.

hi,
i have succesfully boot android to my hd2, but when i turn my phone off and turn it on it starts with my standard rom (winmo 6.5)
can somebody help me?
thanks!

Maybe you didn't you understand that its the way it should be ?
You have installed a SD build, which means your WM 6.5 ROM has not been touched in any way, and everytime you reboot then your phone will boot in WM first.
By the way, this is a great advantage of SD builds, because if anything goes wrong in Android, you can quickly go back to WM.
Fortunately, you can automate the work to restart Android at each boot by installing an app like EBL (Exceller boot loader). Search here on xda, or google it for more information.

Ok thanks for the reaction,
I have one problem. When i turn on the music on my phone, it's going faster than normal. I have read some things, but it stil there.
My radio version is now: 2.10.50.26

@castro2020

Q Trouble with energy rom for HTC HD2

I have downloaded the energy rom for the HD2 ive don everything i was meant 2 like the radio and the hspl but im stuck on the boot logo screen and it doesnt change at all and i cant get it workin i only installed this rom cos i was gonna put froyo on it 2 run android but now i cant can some1 plz help me and yes i am a noob can some1 tell me how 2 restore it back 2 the original OS so it works again cos i need my phone and can it be step by step

I was going to type out how to do it, but I don't remember each step that vividly... In the regular hd2 section you can get help in the rom development forum for how to revert back to the stock rom. The top stickies should have all the info you need, plus downloads to the stock roms.

I have similar problem with Sencity Energy rom, and radio 2.15.50.14. Got stuck forever at android boot screen (green HTC logo) forever. I've tried several android builds but neither got past boot screen.
Anyone have solution to this problem?

sure, pull the battery cover, press the soft reset button, or pull the battery.... reinstall battery, it'll boot up into WM... done.
might i recomend formating your sdcard before trying again.
and yes , firs boot into android will take probably 20 min, it has to build a new filesystem on the sdcard, initialise, and a whole bunch of technical stuff thats obviously way over your head.

Hi ,I use energy rom too and i use this android rom and works perfectly try it out.
my radio version 2.07.50.27_2
I use the drop mode version.

If you could post a link 2 it plz it would help me a lot thanks

I'm new to all this as I only loaded HSPL 2.08 on my phone for the 1st time on Sunday evening. I then loaded the new 2.14.50.* radio. Then I loaded NRG's 21916 Original Cookie ROM. Everything worked fine. And then yesterday I downloaded FroyoStone_Sense and followed instructions and now I'm playing Fruit Ninja
The steps I followed are
those for the energy ROM thread in this forum
then

Go to "settings, sound" and turn off audible touch tones in the "feedback" section. If that doesn't work, next time you're in a call turn on speakerphone and then turn it off again. That should stop your problem till next reboot. The first suggestion normally resolves the problem though.
Good luck
