NOOB and i need pointed in the right direction. - HD2 General

hello im thinking of getting an hd2 today but im not sure what all needs to be done before i can flash windows 7 i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. i have look on xda but im not 100% sure where to start. what all you have to do with the hd2 because i have changed roms a bunch on my nexus one. yet it seems like the hd2 is a lot different then how i do it on my nexus. so if there is a good guide that kinda shows what all you need and how to do it that would be awesome. thank you for your time.

The best tutorial for the flashing process imho can be found in the HD2 Android section - the steps are actually the same, except you will flash a WP7 NAND ROM instead of Android. Check it here.
To start, as you can read in above linked tutorial, you will have to install HSPL 2.08, which can be a little tricky in case your HD2 comes with SPL 3.03. For this case, you´ll find another tutorial, it´s not that hard.
Otherwise, no big issue, I guess.
I strongly recommend to flash a custom ROM, those include the "Chevron" jailbreak from scratch, biggest advantage is that there won´t be any re-locking issues. The original "Leo70 ROM" does not include the jailbreak.
However, if you want to use Live services, you will still need an activation code from MS. WP7 runs fine without those, but you´ll lack quite a few interesting options, I think.
Happy flashing!

This is a pretty good video guide........

thank you both for your quick responses. i will look at all the tuts you posted. i know i seen for one windows 7 thing that you needed hspl 3 so i wasnt sure on that.
this is a little of topic but is 225 for what there saying is a brand new only opened for photos, good for a hd2.

Sounds reasonable but I would be suspicious of the "only opened for photos" part..
If I was selling a brand new phone, Id much rather describe it as "Unopened" than "only opened for photos......
My hd2 is over a year old and very nearly in mint condition despite never being in a case so I'd imagine if someone had used one for 6 months in a case then it would be possible to pass it off as "brand new"........
Then again I'm a very suspicious guy......

lol yea thats what i was kinda thinking. i know from talking to him he doesnt seem to know much about hd2's in general. now if it was brand new it would come with the 8gb sd card or did tmobile stop including that? when i go to look at it today im going to make sure the touch screen works well and that there is nothing wrong with the device and make sure it has everything it is suppose to come with out of the box.

If your getting to see it and test it then thats good.
The things I'd check are the earpiece, the usb port and the little slot for your fingernail to open the back cover, if its had use these will give the game away.
That said, if it works ok then it shouldnt really matter how much use its had.
You could always try and get some money off if he's tryed to dupe you though

I think they were 2gb cards that went out with the phone. Might have been 8gb with tmous though, not sure......

New HTC T-Mobile Wing & User

Hello everyone,
yes i am a new user and subscriber. i purchased the wing about a month ago and so far i like it, but there are some things that i need to address. first, there is a memory problem that from what i have read, is common. i have a 2Gig microSD and most of my videos are on there. i am using TCMP to play movies. i was wondering what to use to get the best speed and usability out of my wing. what is safe to delete to make this thing race. again, i am just getting into the terminology (kitchens, cookbooks etc.), so please bear with me. a quicky, how do i get to the registry? and does the iphone theme really work good for this phone?
thanks everyone for any help

I suggest a custom rom. The T-mobile stock rom is not very good. I'm currently using Open Touch 4.0 by TTRAN and im loving it!
I'm a new Wing user also. I've had mine for a few days and i'm absolutely clueless when it comes to the rom's and making your phone look completely different. I read a little, but to someone who doesn't know all that lingo.. it's like a foreign language somewhat.. lol. Not that bad, but you know what I mean. I'm sure i'll figure it out eventually, but as of now? I'm clueless. I was told I need to HARD SPL my phone or something and I have no idea what that means or how to do it, lol. I downloaded a few things and got them to work though. But like I said, that's it.
Follow instructions. I understand people don't want to potentially "break" their phone ... but this stuff is TOO easy. Don't be scared of it.

Yeah. Well I was gonna ask you for some help (you seem to like helping people and you seem to know what you're talking about), but I can imagine how many people do that. I know how it is to be asked how to do stuff when it's very easy to begin with. I've been an admin on online games and stuff, so that part I understand. There just seems to be so many things you can do to this phone and to most people, they probably have no idea where to begin.
I was able to download a few cab's and get them to work, which was cool. I have my Wing overclocked right now at 247 I believe. Then I have a few other nice things. I use the Palringo for AIM and that's nice. I can't wait to change the overall look though. I'm not just confused on how to do it in general, but i'm also wondering whether or not you're supposed to use certain .cab's with certain rom's and all that. Ya know?

Find out which rom your interested in using and you will usually find a faq and instructions on how to flash the rom on the first post. I use Open Touch and followed the instructions to the T on my first flash and had no problems. Like Duprade said it really isnt that hard. Dont let the big bold red messages scare you. The cooks are just covering their behinds just in case you miss an instruction and brick your phone.
islinx, whats overclock? you are in the same boat as i am (glad to have you). i have also installed some roms, but i am ready for the big facelift now. i will do some searching and try to find a cool & simple look. i ran across a "show your today screen" post, but i lost it. they had some really really nice ones. i'll check back later. thanks for all the posts.

Check the thread with all the .cab files and you'll find the download to overclock your phone.

Look up battery status to find what your looking for.
I will be home from my trip to MIAMI tomorrow ... so who ever needs help or questions answered, just catch me online and IM me and i'll give you a hand.
Doesn't matter anymore, lol. I deleted everything off the phone, put the plastic back on and i'm sending it back today. As much as I LOVED the phone, i'm not gonna keep it and feel like I got ripped off. I used a promotional code when I got the phone. That was the reason I was getting the phone at this point in time to begin with. If I wanted to pay the normal $300 for the phone + activation, I would of went to the store and got it THAT day. But I called over the phone with a promotional code to get the Wing for $100 after $50 rebate, free activation and a free bluetooth headset or car charger. The customer service rep. told me the promotional code was taken and I was all set. I'd get my phone within 4 days. I did get it 4 days later and yesterday I called them back just to make sure the promotional code took effect and I was getting some money back.
Long story short, I must of got transferred like 7 times on the phone and I was on it for about an hour. Nobody knew what to say and I had to explain my situation each time. The customer service lady basically lied to me because the promotional code all of a sudden isn't a working one. I've seen other people online use the same code and it worked for them. Recently too. Big surprise there. If I wasn't saving money for a new car in April, I would have kept the phone. But a couple hundred dollars makes a huge difference.
Thanks for your help anyway though.

Selling my Hermes/TyTN on eBay and need your advice

Before I list it, I want to make it look like the nicest phone on the market.
I already unlocked it but now I'm looking for the best ROM to make it stand out of the crowd. I was thinking about Schap's but I don't know many ROMs.
Can you guys give advice?
Thanks in advance!
-Nick
I don't think it really matters... What you're asking about is eye candy, skins, today apps and such. Do a search on skinning. Ultimate Launch, RLToday, Manilla Touchflow 2d - these are a few Apps that make the today screen more funtional. You need to look at the skins developed for them to get a good idea.
Cheers...
Yes but I also want cool functionality out of the box so the buyer has it all after a hard reset.
The rom you like may not be the rom someone else likes. It depends on the person who wins it. If I got it, I can guarantee that it wouold be looked at quickly then reflashed within 10 minutes of me getting it. Most people I know who have this type of phone don't even know how to reflash , or are too scared to. I had 2 people who got a Jasjam because I got one and showed them what you could do with it. I ended up being tech support for them and still am even though I left that workplace.
My advice, Hr the device, put on a today replacement that you think looks good and put a picture on ebay. Anyone hardcore will probably have a new os on it pretty quick but someone who has no idea will leave it as is.
Cheers...

That's a good idea indeed, but what about WM6.1?
Just the sight of it make some go crazy. In the condition my phone is, I might be able to get in the 300's.
I might find the simplest 6.1 ROM (I downloaded S64's ROM, don't know about the others) and load it in there. Then I'll take a video, put it on YouTube and add it in the listing.
I plan on adding it to the header.
To say I paid this phone 180$ a year ago... (plus 50$ worth of shipping charges for repairs)
I like S64's ROMs but they can be PACKED with 3rd party apps... I tend to find my hermes runs a little slow with his ROMs. Try a lite version though, they're still pretty packed but don't have the apps you don't need.
Personally I'd try a PDAViet rom, something like OS 5.2.20226 (Build 20226.1.3.0 PV DVH) Diamond(01) 3G 6MB PP. A little old, I know, but stable and has a lot of things you want. You can also add other apps on the memory card as cab files to be installed as needed.
Cheers...
You can find other 6.1 ROMs in the WM06 forum. Ask yourself "What do you think the rom needs to have if I went to buy this phone?", Then make sure it has this.

Questions about future Hermes (Quick)

Hi!
First of all, thanks for a great community! I just registred, but I've been reading a lot the past days.
I'm in the process of buying a Hermes (a bit late, I know), but I have some questions that I can't seem to find the answer too.
The memory is naturally way to little and the Micro SD-cards are really cheap, so I will buy one. But, I've read that only MS Mobile 6.0 and above supports SDHC (which is what I want), and that it comes with 5.0. Is the upgrade to 6.0 free and I can do it with the ROM(s) found here? Does this mean I can use SDHC by flashing with the original ROM? If I do, do I still need to buy an extra SD to flash with?
I hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance!
Hello, and welcome to the forums. There will be a lot of research in your future!
You can upgrade to 6.0 for free, You want to research how to make sure your phone has hardspl. I would do that first! It can save you from having a brick, instead of a phone! The page you linked to should be all of the stock shipped roms, and I can vouch that the AT&T WM 6.0 works for the sdhc cards.
Then you can also research how to make sure your phone is sim/cid unlocked.
If you start getting the flashing bug, flashing the radio is probably the easiest way to get a brick!
There is ton's of info out there to be had, use the search function at the top right of the page to google for the info you have so far now. I think there is months worth of reading! It is all there, the phone has been out long enough that someone has probably already had any issue that you could expect to have, and has posted about it.

Yes, I've read how to upgrade, but I wasn't sure if this "replaced" the operating system, or if I had to download/buy Mobile 6.0 to use those ROMs. Excellent that it works with SDHC cards! I've gotten a bit confused though, I don't need a SD card to flash, right? Only a USB-cable if I flash it through the computer?

I don't think it's SIM-locked since I don't buy it from a cellular company. And I think I will wait flashing anything else than official ROMs.

Indeed there is, but it's so much it's hard to figure out what's up-to-date and what's not. But I will continue to read!
Thanks for your reply!
I've started to wonder, how good is movie playback on this device? I realize I can't play HD, but if I have a movie that's, say 640x480, will it playback smoothly? I know the resolution is to big for the screen, will it work anyway? If I scale it to 320x240, will it work then?
Lastley, is around $300 to much to pay for a brand new (unlocked)? It seems a bit high, but I'm not sure. Since it's an old phone, the price might not be updated on the site. What should I expect to pay?
what!?
Three Hundred Dollars!?
I got mine for $100 on craigslist
It has a few minor scratches on the case, but the screen is perfect.
the ones that are practically new go for around 150.
Hm, as I suspected. This one, however, is bought from a company, so I won't probably get it for $100, but at least $200 (unfortunately eBay is not an option at the moment). Thank you! You probably saved me a $100!
Can anyone tell me about the video playback question I had? That's the only thing that's holding me back.
Theres a stack of conversion programs that will convert to 320 X 240 really well. Video playback is pretty good but HD is DEFINATELY not gonna play, remember the problem with the Hermes is RAM.
Video playback was better than Kaiser though, may not be anymore, quit reading about that a long time ago.
Cheers...
I know, but what about 640x480? Will it work?
Hm, how come the playback was better on Hermes than Kaiser? Kaiser has twice the RAM.
It seems that I still have to pay $300 for it though. Or add $100 for the Kaiser.
I haven't tried too many videos on my hermes, just random things from emails, some play and some do not, I didn't really look beyond that. Though it plays music (mp3) just fine.
I only gave $75 for my hermes through someone I know, they got a deal on it, and passed the deal along. $300 is way too much!
And, you don't have to flash from the sd card, but I hear there have been issues with flashing from Vista. If you have XP you will be fine. I don't have any machines running vista, so I haven't tried to see what any issues may be, or what workarounds (other than sd card) might be. But, flashing from the sd card is probably the "safest" way to flash, you don't have to worry about a bad cable, if the cable gets knocked out, if the computer crashes/freezes, power failure....you get the idea.
Your gonna be addicted to the phone either way! Mine is my favorite gadget!
300 is way tooo much for this device. I wouldnt go above 100. I ddont know what country you are in, but their must be some other options for more current devices.
before you start flashing READ. see mr vanxs guide to upgrading.
device is useless without an sd card. Also much safer flashing from a card.
wm6.1 is where you will end up. Official roms are garbage. I currently use crcinau 13 stable rom. see the wm6 for hermes forum.
If you are in the US consider a fuze from att with a contract. It will cost the same as the one you are looking at now. Why is ebay not an option?

Kaiser has issues with video drivers, which makes 2D/3D performance a bit weak.
It has got a lot better, but the Hermes is still smoother as far as I can tell.
$300 is no way worth it, I got my 2nd Hermes for £110 shipped and that was kinda expensive.
Best bet would be to find someone you trust to buy you one off ebay and get them to ship it.
If you are using XP, its easy enough to flash via the computer, just do radio rom upgrades Via SD card.
If you have vista, then you will have to-do most things via SD card, but Its doable.
You wont want to use a OEM/Shipped rom, they are no way as good as the cooked WM6.1 ones.
I would recommend CRC's rom's if you want a clean, stock feeling (aka no TF2D) rom.

Thank you for your reply! Very helpful! I read about the problems with the Kaiser, and it seems I will go for a Hermes. (Man, I really hate that name)
The reason I wanted to use original ROMs was that the guarantee would still be valid, but that's not an issue any more. Unfortunately, I'm using Vista, so I suppose I'll have to buy an extra SD-card (since I need at least 8 GB extra storage). Now I'll just have to find a good ROM. *Sigh* Can't things just be perfect when you buy them? Thanks anyway! I'll look into the CRC-ROMs.
And eBay is not an option since most people only ships within US, but I might have found an alternative...

You should look into the many players that play just about every file. I personally like the control that Core Player gives you plus it works great with my Bluetooth Stereo headsets.
Here is a link to a free conversion program (not warez) that will do all the converting for you in a very fast manner.
http://vio.thepiratebay.org/
And if you have $100-150 dollars than get a paypal account and buy one on ebay. $200 is too much for this phone at this time. I'm not sure what country you're in but most have an ebay site for them (UK, France, Australia, Japan, etc...) and the phones run the same price.
Video is still about 30% better on the Hermes than the Kaiser but both will play transcoded movies down 320*X smoothly. Use Coreplayer (have to buy it) or TCPMP (free)
640x480 will be jerky every few seconds as it can't quite handle it.
[double post]
Yay! I got one for around $100! Thanks for your replies! Very helpful!
Cool. Enjoy.

Good bye HD2, it's been hell and back.

For the last 6 weeks I've had nothing but headaches between two T-Mobile HD2's. I bought on release date, 3 days later I was better off tossing it in the freezer because all it would do is freeze. It also lagged, was buggy and a glitch fest. Apps didnt work, screen didn't work, Sense UI wouldn't load ugh, I can go on. I got another HD2, within the first 7 hours it froze on me too lol. It also had the same issues as the first.
I just want to thank everybody here in the forums for helping solve my phone issue, as I've research and tried everything but they did not help. Also thanks to HTC and T-mobile.com for putting up with my madness lol, although T-Mobile allowed me to get my OG plan back (and keep my HD2), I can now leave T-Mobile (im under no contract) to get something else (leaning towards the Evo 4G over the Nexus One).
P.S. I hope T-Mobile gets there act together and releases a patch ASAP, it sucks that such a incredible piece of hardware is having a lot of problematic issues.
that's weird,I assume you were on stock rom which is why u got the issues...custom roms eliminate those issues u have on stock rom.
i dont think it's so much the stock ROM, mine's been wonderful with the stock ROM. it's more that he was unlucky enough to be one of the first bozos who got the phone with version 2.10. for me, rom version 2.11 has been nothing but bliss, so much that after trying several custom roms i went back to my stock 2.11 because, compared to it, all custom roms suck (winmo devs aren't as good as android devs).
there's a thread with stock roms and 2.11 is usable even without hspl (i kept hspl out of personal preference and I'll try to make my own build). good luck to you anyway. i suggest you get a nexus one and flash desire rom (or heck, get a desire)
If it is freezing, the first setting I would check is
Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Today > Items
The setting "Today timeout", at the bottom left hand corner,
should not be selected/enabled.
why shouldnt the today timeout be selected,just out of curiosity?

i just unchecked it so i'll wait and see if anything improves (i have minor freezing/lag with calls and sms sometimes)...but im also curious what this fixes
I think its more of a "You don't know how to use such a powerful piece of equipment!!!" There is nothing wrong with your phone, its just easier for you to believe your own lie when you return it by posting for others to read what horse doo doo it is,...Like for example, "Transformers missing do to a Faulty sdCARD"...sorry I have full reset my phone several times just to erase everything and removed my sdCard with no Data loss issues, I agree with the other guy, I think its you and you should properly close your apps before claiming its your phone...Ever heard P.E.B.K.A.C before?...Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair!!! That's you!!! Grow up!! These Phones Rock, apple fan boys will do anything to make a solid product look bad.
My phone has frozen at least once every day it seems like. But I think i solved the battery issue. I bought a second battery!! Haha, I am so S M R T! At any rate, I love this phone for the big screen and fast internet. I just wish I had a way to get mp4's to watch. Or that more books on barnes and noble were free.

LOL, Less talking, more listening kid.
It's obvious you have no idea what your talking about and lacking the intelligence to do so. I have plenty of videos posted here showing how horrible my two devices are (do a search). It's HTC Sense UI that is the problem, not WM6.5. I've shown HTC reps and T-Mobile reps my phone, they've test and diagnosis it, and if it wasn't for me, there wouldn't be a update on the way. So keep talking ****, that's why your teeth are brown.
Dude is soo anal because I gave up on my HD2, lol. If you like yours that fine but don't cry me a river because I didn't like mine lmao!

I've shown HTC reps and T-Mobile reps my phone, they've test and diagnosis it, and if it wasn't for me, there wouldn't be a update on the way.

Are you serious! You think it's because of you that an update is on it's way?! If you do, you are a severe narcissist. The fact that you think that really makes anything else you claim questionable.
Woot, 8 posts to 1,000.

I think its more of a "You don't know how to use such a powerful piece of equipment!!!" There is nothing wrong with your phone, its just easier for you to believe your own lie when you return it by posting for others to read what horse doo doo it is,...Like for example, "Transformers missing do to a Faulty sdCARD"...sorry I have full reset my phone several times just to erase everything and removed my sdCard with no Data loss issues, I agree with the other guy, I think its you and you should properly close your apps before claiming its your phone...Ever heard P.E.B.K.A.C before?...Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair!!! That's you!!! Grow up!! These Phones Rock, apple fan boys will do anything to make a solid product look bad.

LOL, Less talking, more listening kid.
It's obvious you have no idea what your talking about and lacking the intelligence to do so. I have plenty of videos posted here showing how horrible my two devices are (do a search). It's HTC Sense UI that is the problem, not WM6.5. I've shown HTC reps and T-Mobile reps my phone, they've test and diagnosis it, and if it wasn't for me, there wouldn't be a update on the way. So keep talking ****, that's why your teeth are brown.
Dude is soo anal because I gave up on my HD2, lol. If you like yours that fine but don't cry me a river because I didn't like mine lmao!

I was with you till you said the bolded
how solipsistic can you be to assume that based on your pathetic user experience that tmobile and htc would generate an entire updated rom to suit just your needs??? Give me a break dude...
this is xdas not fan pandering to overly zealous delusional users that are so far up steve jobs craw they can see his prostate...I mean seriously what the frick???
And I admit for 80% of errors it is brought on by the user and not the device itself. The hd2 has its flaws. All phones do...but for most users they are iphone/android converts expecting the same experience without doing any research on htc and windows mobile. And to those users, yes I say they do deserve any error they get. Why? You didn't take time to learn about your device. This isn't something as simple as a flashlight where you press the on button and something magically happens. Its a pocket pc and that means a lot...
Closing this thread as it is turning into a bashing session. Lets keep it civil.

HTC HD2 Conversation

I just recently dug out my htc hd2 out of my dresser. And the sucker still works. Found a Micro USB that works with the phone to work on windows 10. I got to say as for being such a old phone im amaze it still works. Even finding some old roms for the phone the tmobile version I have. I wonder how many people out there can still say they have the phone. I know the forums are pretty much dead. But I thought id post on here and bring up a conversation of the phone. Anyone still around still having there phone for good old times.?
