I have the htc hd2 leo 1.o6 (what ever the 1.o6 means) I have a bad flex board
now there is replacements out there, but everyone I find says HTC HD II HD2 on them, what is the difference?. and why is there two models of this phone, a 1st generation and a second generation?. and further more .. my HD2 does not have the Tmobile logo on it.. but HTC says it is a Tmobile phone? anyone else with thoughts?
anyone with parts to sell or offer? I need a rigid flex board and I'm so confused. and HTC is not helping much
You have two of the same. The 1.66 is the rom version and not part of the name.
The "hdii hd2" is just the seller covering multiple search strings.
Only tmobile USA is different (tmous,,, t mo us) all other t mobile from every other countries are normal hd2.
You have two regular hd2's
so the part flex board is the same for both?
Should be, yes. I've certainly only seen two versions, tmous and everyone else.
If anyone is interested...maybe needing a replacement HD2, Best Buy has the unlocked T-Mobile HD2 for sale... $350
I got mine today and it it comes packaged like the MyTouch 4G did...with the zipper pouch and all. And it is very much a US version with 1GB memory. It also has the 2.15 radio

lol, they say "Colour: Black" like the HD2 has ever had another colour
My HD2 is over a year old yet serving me like a new Device ! its Eu btw so good luck to those who need to replace their beloved HD2s
I accidentaly dropped my tmous todpay and the displey has broken :-(
I need to know is it possible to replace only the glass and are the replaceble parts on the Tmous and EU version the same ??
Plz help !!!
please if someone could advise me where to buy a needed part, , I only broke the glass, the phone works perfectly, but I got a few tips to buy the whole set to avoid damaging the digitizer when I change the display .. everything is selling on ebay, but again it is much easier to buy with the recommendation of someone...

Simple question please: can a mainboard from "international" (or "european") type of HD2 be put into TMOUS (T-Moble US) HD2? (as a replacement, the original MB seems to have overheat hangups issue - but its much easier and cheaper to buy "international" version)

Theoretically, it is possible (some did it already), but don't expect to fit perfectly!

How to understand this "imperfection"?
People say, the screen might be of a different kind (solderred vs. pinned). Is it true?

It doesn't matter the screen(as long as you don't replace digitizer, which are 2 versions:soldered or with insert pin!) in order to replace motherboard!
So, the does the digitizer' kind be matched with the mainboard or is it pin-inserted or soldered to a screen (and screen to a mainboard)?
Digi to LCD & as all LCD to mainboard ribbons are same of no issue.
Main issue of International mainboard in TMOUS is board is shorter & micro usb & headphone jack fall short in the TMOUS housing ...
Get a TMOUS board as waste of effort with an international board ...

Thank you! However may I ask you yet again about these micro usb & headphone jack which fall short - would they appear as inaccessible at all from outside of housing?
If not please, suggest where could I buy tmous mainboard from, as here in Europe there are just 'international' versions present on all auction sites...
To make micro usb & headset jack fit you need to modify connector plug moldings by cutting them back so plugs will go in further without restriction.
I would make the effort to find a good TMOUS board, must be a few TMOUS devices with dead or cracked digi for spares.
Put in a wanted request here on xda.
Other option is go to a international version housing to match board.
Would only buy auction site if seller has 100% feedback & a good reason for have a spare board as too easy for people to lie & sell faulty parts on eBay & reading a few threads on here & my personal inbox messages confirms the auction issues ...

I've got an offer to replace international MB for 100$ (with already MB provied). The guy guarantees it fits perfectly to the TMOUS phone, and he has small repair shop in my town (so he's fully accountable) and swears he's got fixed many such devices already. So how is it possible compared to your explanation? (Is he going to replace housing too maybe?)
Plz, tell me which part of an international case should be placed together with MB? It is definitelly easier and cheaper to buy such a set (euMB+case) than TMoUS mainbard itself...
Presumably it is not necessary to change the whole housing, is it?
rear cover & probably centre chassis (check chassis part supplies & see if parts numbered different).
Can't really see a small shop having dealt with that many TMOUS models for international board swap.
It can & does work but without the ports altered or case changed it not the best.
Personally I would aim at getting an international model with broken or dead digi & swap your led/digi to it & job done plus you got a lot of parts spare or for sale to recoup maybe 50% of the outlay.

Just have bought international MB (+ central chasis) from Polish auction site for as much as 38$ (with guarantee of return if not helped) - haven't pondered too much as it seems great bargain. However now I see this bargain rather akward to consummate :/ Please, give me some advice what to do with the whole set: TMoUS phone with faulty MB + international MB with central chasis? Would you advise to return this MB to the seller?
Get an international back cover & you should be good to go.
BTW, what about firmware/ROM? Where does it sit? In a chip on MB? Or maybe the flash memory module stays somewhere else so the MB change will leave it unaffected...
So, is it necessary to flash the international version of ROM before first run after the MB change? There are so many warnings what distaster would happen if someone confused ROM versions (international vs. US)...
Of course there are ROMs good for both versions, e.g. Paranoid, but presently I've got TMOUS WM 6.5.5 flashed (to accurately test hardware under 'model' sw conditions)
All on mainboard
So, I have replaced the MB, the international version put into TMoUS without any other parts replacements! The TMoUS housing indeed is slighty longer but just by so minute difference (half of millimeter) it poses no problem at all, and both plugs (USB & jack) fit firmly! (The only glitch was I had to trimm millimeter of plastics inside as USB connector didn't fit in, but it was so trifle as probabely even not worth to mention...)
So, WHAT A DIFFERENCE now! That TMoUS MB was terribly thermally worn off!
Please, give some suggestion what to do now - with e.g. that faulty TMoUS MB? To throw away or is it still possible to recover anything valuable from it?
Please, tell me also if it is worth to protect somehow the "new" MB to prevent it from this thermal tearing off (and how to make it)?
ok, so being the obsessive compulsive person i am, i have to find out whether my phone is t8585 or t8588 before i order this digitizer.
any method i can see that in my device? I know its a TMOUS HD2
if you run an android rom, try this app from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Bfield.CpuIdentifier
TMOUS is all you need to know (red/green call/end keys, headset jack is smooth flush in the body & not raised moulding on back like the standard HD2 bodies, also 1GB storage)
T8588 is the Dopod branded HD2
Any socket type HD2 digitizer will fit as they are all same spec/size.
HD2 wiki has all the details & a link for example or purchase.
You can get the digitizer with or without T-Mobile branding so be aware on what is being shipped should you have specific wishes.
Dismantle wisely & with a lot of care or you will need a lot more than just the digitizer.
thx mates. i think i'll buy the one suggested
and great app out there
