Quick WP7 advice - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hey guys, I got a second hand HD2 from ebay, so far i;ve been using it with android running from the SD but now i'e decidedto give wp7 a try.
the device came with MAGLDR 11.13 & WP7 7.0.7004.0 pre installed. I'm not sure which actual ROM it is.
I;ve read all the guides on updating to a newer ROM from the dev section of this forum, but im worried about nricking the device.
when I plug my phone into the Zune application to sync music, it offers me an update. I tried this update but it failed, is there any way I can update easily through Zune? or do I need to reflash a ROm such as this one.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157535
Also, in my current situation, is it as simple as downloading the ROM & running the EXE with the phone plugged in?
I wnt a later version formnumerous reasons, mainly the lackofmauto focus in the camera z- allphotos are blurry!
SOrry for being captian n00bing, im just startiong out with WP7!

Hi,
It's not possible to update your HD2 WP7 with Zune. It's only for official WP devices.
To flash new WP rom, I advice you to begin with a Task29 (clean the phone), flash radio (2.15.... recommended), flash MAGLDR 1.13, and flash the WP rom you want.
Good luck

Thanks for the reply mate.
Task29 clears the NAND if im correct, will that remove MAGLDR too? So I'll have to reflash MAGLDR 1.13?
Can anybody provide me with a n00by-friendly link to a guide on this? The phone came with MAGLDR 1.13 so i;ve no experience with WP7! I'm an Android man!
Could you also recommend a stable day-to-day ROM? I'm not bothered about Mango (unless theres a super-stable version) so anything NoDo would be fantastic.

in some cases task29 has created some issues with Wp on the HD2
just boot in to MAGLDR, go to USB flash, connect it to your PC and then run the exe from the ROM of your choice, i would strongly recomend staying with Yukis ROM, if you have issues with it then consider SD Card flashing a stock WM ROM and starting again. HSPL>RADIO>MAGLDR>WP7
The SD card is the problem, if you get one that works, you'll be fine, there is NO compatible list of SD card!

So none of the builds here are compatible with tmo hd2?

i was thinking of getting a miui rom for my hd2 but upon reading how to flash hard spl i came across something that said that not all builds are compatible with the tmo hd2 is this true? does this mean i can run miui on my hd2?
i saw this video an it seems his phone is tmo also, so can i just put any build on my tmo hd2?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRRWBp5l9jk
I believe you just have to find a certain HSPL first for the TmoUS HD2. I have one and I have no problem running any of the Android builds. There is a separate guide for HSPL the TmoUS HD2. I believe it was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614 . As for the android builds, just set up T-Mobile APNs if its not already there, and if you're in the US some of them may require you to download Morelocale2 from the Market to change it to English US.
Here's another recent TMOUS build, found this on page 2 of this forum.

Hi all! i have tmous, and i can use the more of android rom. Currently used by vbn rom, it's good because stock 885 mb and 443 Mb RAM and frees me up in it autoboot. MIUI ruins only problem I've tried the ringtones do not play I do not know why. The cyanogen and running and the evo is going to ruin. The definition does not always succeed in ruins.
My phone TMOUS
Radio 2.15.50.14
rom 3.14.351.1
I have used alot of builds on my tmous HD2 for ages, even without putting HSPL on my device. All these builds should work even on a completely factory device. Although, i think you have to enter apn settings to get data working for tmo, i have never used tmo so i have no experience with that.

Sergio76 CoreDroid v0.8 is a perfect build. It is available in 2 versions: TMOUS and NON-TMOUS. As I live in the Netherlands, I use the non-tmous of course and that build is very good.
You could read the threat first. There is plenty abous TMOUS.

Yes, you can flash ANY Android ROM you see in HD2 Android development. They ALL work with all HD2's including T-Mobile.

First of all, your question doesn't belong in this forum. If you'll post your question in the proper place, you will probably find more help.
Secondly, HSPL has NOTHING do do with android on the TMOUS HD2.
The flash update programs (and HSPL) will not run on a MAC. You will either have to use a Windows machine OR use Virtual Box with Windows on the MAC. If any of this is over your head, you should probably do some more research before trying to flash your phone.
I did some research i didnt know it would be a problem that i was using a mac... so i download virtualbox an then?
Bootcamp is your friend
ok so after i install hspl do i still need windows to install builds or am i ok with a mac to install builds?
first...let me be clear.....you don't need to do hspl, you don't need custom rom to have android on your hd2. all you need to have is a radio version of 2.08 or above...since yours is a tmous, it mostly will have a radio above 2.08
you run android from sd card, so all you need to do is to drag and drop the build of android onto your sd card...windows/mac doesnt matter for dragging and drop files to sd card
all android builds in this forum run on tmous well, so just stop losing yourself too deep into the forums, check your radio version..if it is.>2.08.xx....copy any android folder to sd card and you are good to go ! ..if radio is less than 2.08, then all you need is to do hspl, flash only a higher radio (no need for custom ROM)
hope that makes it clear to you

[Q] HTC HD2 Telstra help please

Hi Everyone.
This is my first post but i have been an enthusiastic reader for some time.
I know the answers to my problems are out there but im finding there is so much information im drowning and totally lost on what i need to do.
I want to put Android on my Telstra HTC HD2 T9193 via SD.
The SPl is 1.66
ROM = 1.72.841.0 WWE
RADIO = 2.07.51.22_2
Some sources say i need to go back a version before i can HSPL1, Some say i need to upgrade my radio, some say my telstra version is painful to change.
I believe the steps i need to take are:
1.Upgrade to the newest HTC Stock. But i cannot find a ROM to suit the Telstra phone.
2. So i need to use the HSPL method to change my radio?
3. Install HSPL4
4. Install the custom ROM
5. change the radio but i am unsure which one i get?
I think i have it mostly muddled up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sej
assuming you want nand android
hspl4
choose 2.08.hspl
flash any radio with a x.xx.50.. version, higher than 2.07.50
flash magldr
flash cwm
flash android

I actually wanted to use the SD Roms.

Flash HSPL4
Flash radio above 2.08.50 (I'd go 2.15.50)
Run your SD Android ROM.
in addition to what orangekid has posted, in case you're after the custom rom:
Flash HSPL4
Flash radio above 2.08.50 (I'd go 2.15.50)
Flash custom rom
->in my case, i'm using chuckyrom lite for my wm6.5. i noticed that flashing the radio to 2.15, keeping the t-mob stock rom and running an android sd rom caused a lot of lags. not to mention the famous sod (sleep of death).
Run your SD Android ROM.
-> i've been using mccm hd 4.5 and it's simply working great for me. do take note that there are tons of roms you can try. what you can do is try out each of them and determine which one works well for your unit. what may be working flawlessly for me or the other members could turn out to be a lemon for you. thus, try them out and you should be able to find the right rom for your device

This is sound advice Personally I prefer NRG for WinMo and ACA for Android
Hope you've made some progress here... I've been watching this space for more than a year and finally decided it was safe enough to make a move.
My HD2 has the standard ROM, I flashed several radios with varying degrees of success in terms of sensitivity, power consumption, telstra compatability. Settled on 2.15.50.14 for now. Testing continues.
Installed JaguarMIUI-V16.7 on a new class 6 4Gb MicroSD.
I have no luck formatting SDs (x2) for my HD2 (have to reseat sd after bootup to get the card recognised) and this one is screaming and stable without being formatted, just copy on the files into Android and Miui folders in the root of the card.
I have a boot loader installed but don't use it as the build is so stable it's not a problem to open file explorer in Windows, tap clrcad.exe then haret.exe the few time a reboot is required/desired.
Enjoy!
Hi Saj,
I had the same problem..
I found that you had to go backwards to go forward as Telstra Locked the ROM.
Basically i had to comb the web and find an older version of the Telstra ROM...
from there I had to use MAGLDR 1.13 to load the boot file
it did however wipe the WM6.5 completely off the phone.
I am now using a Port for ICS and i have never been happier
I will see if I can find the original post for this on the web and let you know

Hi Guys and Girls,
I just got my HD2 today and installed Phone 7 using XBMod/Yuki 2.1.
Now the phone is updated with Zune to version 7.0.7392.0 but instructions aren't clear on how to proceed further.
Offcourse I want the latest version of Phone7.
I can't find links to hd2 7720 fix.rar, and deviceprovisioning.cab.
Can anyone help me further?
Thanks,
Bart
Try this one.
U should try another rom like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534941
That rom update our HD2 to 8773 and no need update by Zune any more.
Anything u need to do is
1. task29 the phone and format your sd card to make sure the phone run smooth.
2. Reinstall MAG and choose USB install, wait few second and run DAF from zip file.
Sorry for my bad Eng.
Have fun.

Best Newest Most Stable Release.

I'm giving in and willing to try WP7 over WM6.5, so I'm looking for a pleasant experience and not wanting to run into bugs galore with poor builds. So I thought I'd ask which is the best most stable and up to date build around...
Things I'm looking for:
Ease of installation
Feature rich
HTC Hubs
3.5mm Headphones and mic or bluetooth support
Also will I still be able to boot my SD Card Android Boxmax or do I need to adjust something, add a new Wp7 app or what?
It'll be on a us t-mo phone, I'll comeback with more required answers when it's out of the shop, finally got the mobo swapped out with a good one, unfortunately the mobo had windows mobile on it and the cellphone repair shop wanted to charge me 60 bucks to flash WP7 to it, I already paid them 70 and when I very first took it in they offered to flash it to WP7 for free and now they won't.

The rom that i have is HD2 Pdaimatejam and it works perfectly compared to the other ones that reboot everything ou try to multitask, another one would be the
HD2O. And the android rom depends because i have tried mostly all of them that are sense 3.5 and they lag alot. If you are going to have sense get a sense 3.0 rom or below!!! That help even thought the design of 3.5 is sexy!!

I love the Boxmax builds they're great, I'll have to that one a go.
I'm getting my HD2 back tomorrow. So I'll have to dig up and around on how to flash WP7 to the HD2.
all release is stable... mater of luck is compatibility of SDcard... almost all problems with WP7 ROM is related to SDcard

G 15.39.50.07u
D 2.13.90963 8g

Those are the only realeases that do not do random reboot and that are awesome and the problem is not always the SDcard. It is us because sometimes we only download the rom and flash without reading its description (we dont read the thread, just look for download link and pictures), then are all exited and suddenly a sudden reboot and we are then we go back and read about the rom and we get

also hardware radio (2.12 or 2.15) must be flashed... you dont touch data.zip!!!!!!!!

I don't need to flash to HSPL 2.08 do I according to my bootloader? I just need to flash to 2.15 radio and then flash MAGLDR and then WP7, right? I saw nothing in the tute saying yes or no about a HSPL being higher than 2.08, acording to my bootloader I can tell what HSPL I have right?
if you have never flashed HSPL before or if you have and got rid of it then it is vital you do this FIRST as this prevents your hd2 from being bricked
Okay so flash HSPL then Radio then WP7 or Flash Radio then HSPL then WP7?
Hspl>radio>magdlr>wp7
And I should choose 2.08 I guess, I tried updating the radio a few minutes ago with LeoAdvancedRUU and it didn't work it just sat there, hopefully there's another way to update the radio or I'll be stuck.

Got HSPL 2.08 installed, now how can I successfully flash to 2.15 tmous radio since LeoAdvancedRUU radio update didn't work. Or should I try LeoAdvancedRUU again or is there another way to update the radio?

Got done one question though what is all this multi-touch driver junk and which is best or recommended..
kmdtouch.dll
8k_touchpdd_res.dll
cotullatouch.dll
Nevermind chose one anyways.
Question though anybody know how I can import contacts from an .xml file?
Or anyway to import contacts from android to wp7, cause I guess I could update contacts from my lg fathom sync them via funambol then import them from funambol to android and then "however way from android to wp7"
Also I keep getting a market place error, is that cause wp7 isnt activated yet?

Do I need to do all this with Pdaimatejam ROM 8779 v8.1 or can I just get a product key and activate it that way...
Scratch all that, it's activated and marketplace is working but when installing some app's they show up with asain characters is there a way to change this and rename them?
for which reason? no need for this (ROM is already full unlocked, Chevron is useless), forget it... simple get live activation code from microsoft and use it every time when flash new ROM...
