HD2 ROMS & Radio Combinations: Assist Others With Their Freezing & Hanging Issues

HD2 ROMS & Radio Combinations: Assist Others With Their Freezing & Hanging Issues
Hey guys,
Thought I'd start up a thread that newbies can refer to if their device is freezing/hanging. I strongly believe that I majority of the issues are linked to ROMS and radio combinations. I noticed previously when my HD2 was having issues, I'd look at the taskbar and see it alternate between G/3G/H icons. I assume that the device was having a spasm and prioritizing system resources into locking onto a signal.
Although I like some of the cooked ROMS (kudos to their hard work), I simply wasn't a fan of their constant branding of their ROMS (splash screens etc), so I started experimenting with some of OEM ROMS and radios to find that perfect combination.
Now I'm on 1.66.405.2(76641)WWE CRC signed with the radio 2.07.51.22_2, all my previous issues have simply disappeared. No more freezing or hanging (I bearly have to touch CleanRAM anymore) and no more instances of blank screen when coming out of standby. Everything is snappy and smooth!!!
So let's help out some of our members by posting what ROM and radio combinations we're using without any issues. It may also serve as a reference for those who flash their devices frequently to what works should they want to upgrade their ROMs.

Perhaps you could follow zebulon2003's setup (updated radio) since he's on 2.10 and not having any issues

Why!

Was just a suggestion to his bluetooth lag issues. If he's not too bothered by it, then stay with what he's got. The purpose of this thread was list what ROM works best with what radio (which bluetooth falls under).

I'm carefully watching radio and bluetooth threads for what will be the easiest and safest answer. In bluetooth threads there are some registry changes that might do the trick. It appears that in radios 2.10 (or 2.11?) might be the fix.
For now I'm adopting a conservative approach as Quig suggests.
Thanks for this thread...and...it prompted me to expand the detail in my signature.

Tmobile Data when using Android

Im only getting data over wifi but not over Tmobile cell network.
Any clue on how to get around this? I would like to use both WM and Android data.
Thanks!

which android version are you running i had the same problem with the first one i tried n switched to froyo sense v.1 n its fine now

when posting questions like these you need to post what build ,
what winmo rom your running , and what radio rom your using

Here are my settings:

There is a second version of mattc 1.6b. You need to download that. It has a different rootfs file that you will drop into the original Android folder you are currently running. Head back over to his thread and grab it. I had the same problem and it works like a champ.
You just swap in the new rootfs file and that's all.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Ok so I changed my ROM to Energy and updated my Radio to 2.12.50.02 (I couldnt find the different version of mattc Leo 1.6b referenced above).
Now my data as far as internet browsing works but..... it seems that none of the apps are working with data. Is it because they are android based apps trying to access the Tmobile network? I can access everything on Wifi but only the internet on Tmobile's cell network (no apps, email, etc...).
Thanks!

Its not a different version but a different rootfs file that you replace original one with.
Read carefully on mattc thread:

you have to download the RMNET zip file, extract the rootfs and replace the original one.

back in the day before the builds were better tmo users used to have to change their apn to wap.voicestream.com. Dunno, try that.

Yeah, I think the reason 1.6b works better is because it detects and sets up the APNs correctly automatically.
Manually inputting the correct APN settings would've worked too.

Thanks all, everything is working great now. I have been running for about 8h so far on android and all data and freezing issues seem to be solved.
I did 3 things but I'm pretty sure it was the last one that helped.
1. Changed my ROM from Chucky to Energy (Probably didnt make a difference)
2. Updated my Radio to 2.12.50.02_02 (May have helped)
3. Did as suggested above: "Download for RMNET (only use if you are having internet or hard freeze problems)" (I think this one did it for me)

I don't own HD2 myself, but I have put Android (different builds, always the same issue) on few of my mates phones (mostly T-mobile uk), and I have had the same issue as described - setting up the settings manually wouldn't help either. But every single time, after going online using wi-fi solved the problem - no applying any fixes or replacing files needed (its seems like it got all the necessary files/settings/fixes? through wifi). Unfortunately I can't do any more tests, because (as mentioned before) I don't own HD2 myself.
You guys should try it and let us know if it works for you.

Hey guys. Reviving this thread. Back in an old shubcraft build i was getting 2.7 mbps according to fcc test although it didnt feel like it. Now im getting 1.7 max. Do you guys know how to improve the speed?
I'm using a Miri rom optimized for Android, can't remember which one along with Shubcraft 1.5 ppp. Any ways to optimize the speed? Is there a best radio for tmo users?

[Q] Android on stock HTC ROM?

Hey,
Just wondering if anyones tried running Android on a stock HTC ROM?
I'm thinking of re-flashing the original Windows Mobile ROM and seeing if it will be able to launch Android from SD Card?
I've heard someone say it has been known to work?

I will be tonight when I finish work
Thought i'd ask ahead just in case anything I need to know. I want to have the stock ROM just because everything works on it and battery life is pretty good, but then can have Android to play around on

I am just using Android on my Stock Rom for the last 20 days.
Its working fine but the problem is instability in the Working of Android.
I have tried all the versions with different Radio versions.
Among them the best suit is Shubcraft1.4d the latest one and Radio version 2.11.50.20

I've been running Android on my "original" stock TMOUS ROM for about 3 full weeks now. At first, I ran Android with the stock 2.08 radio for about 4 days. For some reason, I rebooted my device and I was never able to get Android to run successfully again. I kept getting WSOD during boot-up and BSOD when trying to wake from sleep.
Finally, I flashed my radio to 2.12, and I've had absolutely no problems. I've seen many complaining that the stock TMOUS ROM causes problems, but I think it has more to do with radio, zImage, and build combinations than WinMo ROMs.
Good luck

just loaded android on stock 1.48.707.2 rom but with updated radio 2.12 version seemed to work o.k but froze a bit here and there seemed useable apart from the crashes

hmm, think tonight i will reflash to stock rom from HTC and then try radio 2.10 as per person further up, try it with various builds then maybe try radio 2.12... i will post my results within the next several hours

I think there are also differences between TMOUS and our European ROMS. Especially because of the Radios. I thought about Flashing back to complete Stock ROM SPL, etc. That way I could never get any problems with the warranty etc. I will try it when I find time.

I tried on the stock ROM and sadly everytime Android would go through the initial boot it would just display some text in the top left, then stop, then the text would slowly "fade" from bottom right to top left and the backlight of the screen remains lit but the phone hangs with nothing displayed
I've now put on the phone:
Windows Mobile ROM: Elegancia E-CHT ROM
Android Version: Mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense
Radio: 2.11.50.20
I've put a shortcut to CLRAD.exe and HaRAT.exe on my home screen on WinMo. Now I can use Windows Mobile for stability and battery life and working Wi-Fi Tethering etc, but can boot into android for games, apps, smooth interface and most of all, bragging rights(can now ram it into my friends with iPhones faces)
While i'm here now i've changed my set up completely, i'll explain what its like
With this set up, i've found the phone is some wait smoother, the screen still freezes but not for as long as before.
I've found sometimes the interface can sometimes be slightly sluggish but not enough to be a problem
I've called speaking clock and the voice was very clear
Overall very happy and now have the best of Android and the best of Windows Mobile

On my normal WinMo Rom I've used for quite some time now (some weeks before trying the first Android build) everything runs without freezes etc. So far 1 SOD and 2 freezes without a visible reason. And I'm running mainly Android for 5 weeks now. So it seems I was quite lucky to have an Android compatible ROM without having to flash some stripped down ROM. The only thing I'm missing in my ROM are fast boot times but those can be improved by disabling Sense.

I use stock ROM 1.66 ELL but Radio changed to 2.12 (with stock radio didn't work)
I have tried several Android builds and all works as supposed to work.

I have been testing all the Android versions using stock 1.66 WWE (just updated radio) with no problems at all. I have never used a custom WM ROM on my HD2, and have found Android to be on a par with what others have reported. Now running Mattc + Froyo w/Sense 1.6b with no problems so far.

I use stock ROM SVE 1.66 but radio changed to 2.10. I have been testing several builds and they all have worked ok.
The best build for me has been: darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1.

well, i have 1.48 wwe stock rom, never had any issues with any of the android builds...only changed my radio to 2.08.50..
i suggest darkstone's builds..either the hd2froyo or the froyostone series......no issues whatsoever

Yeah maybe it was my combination of radio/build. I'm now using the Mattc Leo Froyo build and the Elegencia ROM and isn't too different from the stock ROM and has most of the apps still installed

No problems running on stock tmoble 1.72 rom just had to update radio to one ending in 50

I’m a newbie at this so apologies if I confuse rather than help.
I bought my HD2 off eBay so don’t know if it’s been flashed or not. I didn’t attempt to flash or change the radio version myself just in case I brick it!! I scared like that
I am currently using ShubCRAFT 1.4d_1GB (hard reset and switched Sense off in WM for quicker boot) and it works perfectly, good battery life and fast .
WM Software details:
OS version: 5.2.2189
Manila version: 2.5.20113626.0
ROM version: Miri HD2 ROM – V4.0 WWE
Radio version: 2.07.50.27_2
To answer your question, and given the above are the standard versions, yes you can run android on ur standard HTC HD2 thanks to the awesome developers.

I am using a windows mobile stock ROM (1.66.405.2) with radio version 2.12.50.02 and mattc leo + froyo w/sense 1.6b Kernel: michyprima 2.6.32.9 #70. I have had no problems with wifi, 3g, sound, or calls. Everything works fine and pretty good battery life and quite stable.

Yours isn't a stock ROM! You have bought your HD2 with a flashed ROM on it.

Thank you Raudi1
I bucked up the courage to install a new radio after I submitted my post, and in the process realised that it had HardSPL on it already! which one of you sold me your 'touched' HD2!?
So I updated my radio version to 2.12.50.02_2 - yes I'm proud

Dead wifi on blackstone without any new flashing

I have a blackstone with dead wifi. I wonder if there is a solution to solve this problem?
Note:
- My wifi is dead without flashing a new rom or radio.
- I have flashed with radio radio version 1.17.25.09 and no chance.
- I have flash Energy rom and radio 1.14.25.24 also no chance.
- I have flash Original rom Blackstone_HTC_FRA_1.14.406.3 with no chance.
I would ask experts if this a software problem or hardware problem ?

Try Task 29 it can help

Successful T-mobile USA network users rom, hardware and software radio information

I am asking anyone with an HTC HD2 Leo Euro version, who uses T-mobile as a service provider in the USA and you are able to receive DATA and MMS messages to please post your phone information here in this thread for others to use and try.
After flashing and reflashing roms and radios for 2 weeks I have yet to find a combination that works on my HTC HD2 Leo Euro version. I can get most everything else to work. I have not tried bluetooth as I don't have one. At this point I don't care which rom I use or if it is not the most recent updated one, I just want one that works. This thread can be very useful to many HTC HD2 Leo owners.
Also, if your phone is working could please give us a short version of the steps you used when you flashed your phone. I am thinking the steps could be as important as the software itself. Maybe you do a step that I don't or maybe I do one that is causing the problem. I just want to cover all bases so we can come up with a usable solution for everyone.
There are many posts in the forums from people who use HTC HD2 Leo and get the hardware radio: 0.0.0.0 in their phone information settings and maybe this is why we can't get it to work. I am also one of those people.
These are the roms I have tryed so far, not neccisarily in this order:
1. 1_HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 Tango 7.10.8773.98 v8
2. 1_HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 Tango 7.10.8779.8 v8.1
3. HD2_Updatable_XBmod_Yuki_v2.1
4. HD2O_2.02_8779
5. RUU_LEO_HTC_Europe_5.12.401.01_Radio_5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U_NT _Tango_8773_3La_V3_by_ansar
6. TIGER-WP-Stock-(HD2)-V5.0.0-Final
Below are examples of just a few of the hardware and software radios available for us to choose and use.
Hardware radios examples:
2.10.50.19.2
2.15.50.14
2.14.50.04
These radios can be flashed before you flash HSPL or after you flash the rom.
Software radios examples:
5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09
5.51T.09.29a_22.32.50.10U
5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
These radios can be changed in the rom before you flash the rom, not after you flash the rom.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So if you could please give us a short version of the steps you used to flash your phone and what rom and radios you have. I'll put in here as an example. I guess I need to say this setup does not get data and mms on my phone.
Steps:
1. task 29
2. Install Windows Phone 6.5 stock WWE version
3. Flash hardware radio
4. Flash HSPL
5. Flash MAGLDR113
6. magldr menu to 10.servicies >4.Uselast24NAND
7. magldr menu to 10. Services >5. ClearSD MBR
8. Flash the rom.
9. go to settings> about> reset your phone.
10. use HTC Connection Setup
hardware radio I flashed: Leo_Radio_2.15.50.14tmous
Rom flashed: RUU_LEO_HTC_Europe_5.12.401.01_Radio_5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U_NT _Tango_8773_3La_V3_by_ansar
software radio: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U - was included in the rom
Also, let us know if you have "Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.0" showing up in "Settings>about>more info"
Please, please, please, only post your steps and information if your Data and mms messages are WORKING. There are too
many combinations of roms, hardware radios and software radios that do not work, we do not need these posted.

Still need help with euro version and Windows 7.5
Well, is there no one using the euro version of this phone and using the T-mobile network able to get data and mms. Just writing this to let you know we still need help with this. I think I am going to dual boot Windows Mobile 6.5 and Android until there is a solution. My brain is fried trying to figure it out. I think maybe it can be done in the registry but I have not been successful yet. I will work on it some more but it is frustrating.

Is there no one out there ???
I thought by now someone would have responded to this thread. I first posted on July 6th just looking for anyone with a HTC HD2 Europe version using T-mobile USA wireless and able to get data and mms. I have recently been adding apn information in the registry but I had no success as of yet. I have been trying on pdaimatejam and ansar's roms. I also have been trying all of the WM 6.5 roms and found I like Artemis HD2 v70.0 >>[WWE] and Energy™-.¸¸.·´¯ 6.5 _LeCiel_'s ".sencity" roms.
