Hi,
I'm looking for a little advice/guidance. I have flashed windows 7 on my HD2 thanks to the wonderful guides on these forums. It wasn't easy, but once i read through everything i think i got it right.
I flashed from a UK T-Mobile (stock) Radio Version: 2.05.51.05_2
Up to the lastest (?) version: 2.15.50.14
But at the moment i am getting constant crashes, lockups and the phone often fogets my settings like the date and time. I tried to flash back down to the stock version of the Radio which i downloaded from here, but the flash didn't take. It got to about 2% and then crashed. So i flashed back up to 2.15.50.14 (Thanks HSPL) but obviously i still have the same problem.
Could this be a problem with the radio or just the phone it's self? Should i work my way through all the radio's on the page to see if it stops the crashing or is it dangerous or a waste of time?
The phone will sometimes stick on the DFT screen and flash green occasionally. It requires a soft re-set to get working again. obviously when the phone crashes while in use, i must also do a soft re-set
I am downloading the stock windows 6.5 now to flash back in case i can't get it working.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
oh, i forgot. Can anyone confirm that this: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe is the stock rom for my original? I would hate to re-load the wrong one and brick it.
Original Software
OS Version 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version 2.5.19211619.0
Rom Version 148.405.2 (71294) WWE
Rom Date 11/18/09
Radio Version
2.05.51.05_2
Protocol Version 15.28.50.07U
I would consider:
Re downloading and flashing the radio again as, the Radio 2.15.50.14 works fine for me and others in the UK so unless its a poor download it should be OK
then if that fails, task 29 the phone, delete all partitions and reformat the sd card to primary partition fat 32 use the free version of EASEUS or similar and reload the stock rom, its available as a direct download from HTC as well as here
Thanks, I deleted it and put android on. I only had one problem it couldn't make calls! so i put the stock rom back on and even in wm6.5 the phone crashes when making a call. So i guess it's down to a hardware fault
I'm a bit annoyed i've only had the phone 1 day but i bought it second hand.
Just an update if anyone else has a similar issue.
I took it in to the repair shop and they said it was down to the screen so i'm getting it replaced. I'll edit my post when i get it back.

My problem started yesterday after restoring the backup i had made with Sprite Backup 6.5.4 built 8 before the ROM upgrade. When the ROM upgrade was finished everything looked OK but after the backup restoration was finished the device was restarted and everything appeard in 8 color or something like that, the only way it got fixed was when i made a call and the screen went off after the call when i turned it on again everything was looking ok, but every time i restart the device everything looks 8 color again and gets fixed when i make the call. I also noticed that if the screen doesn't go off when i make the call it doesn't get fixed.
*The ROM upgrade was downloaded from the official site of HTC Europe http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
*The backup was made with migration option on and restored with migration Level 1 option when prompted "Use Level 1 if you are restoring to the same device but different ROM versions" it said.
So i don't think the problem is with the ROM but when i restored the backup file some driver file or system file was overwritten and messed up the graphic settings.
If someone has the same problem and have fixed it please reply, this bug really breaks my nerves.
In the files attached you can see how a picture should look and how it looks on my Blackstone screen.
this is most definitely a flash rom problem
it has been discused under rom threads, but i can't remember now which one
i suggest to read the dummies guide and reflash your rom respecting all instructions
good luck!

Be very careful when using backup software. When restoring information from a backup, you are restoring old registry settings when may be incompatible with new rom. I only use backup tools like this for contacts/emails etc. Not for anything else. Best backup tool for restoring apps, games registry tweaks, settings etc is SASHIMI
Basically you have upgraded your device to a newer rom which is most likely based on a different build, manila version or from wm6.1 to wm6.5..........and when you perform a restore you are replacing the new registries with older non-compatible registries which is most likely causing your issue.
If you perform a hard reset all colour issues will have gone.
SitRep: the screen gets back to normal colors if i turn it off and on, not just when i make a call, so my mistake.
I have the same problem. I flashed the official ROM update and restored files using SunnySoft Backup Manager. I find that I can restore the colours to their normal state by quickly switching off and back on at the first password screen.
It's a bit of a pain but does not seem to be otherwise detrimental. It's better than having to re-install my software from scratch.

HD2 crashes
A couple of quick notes...
First you must remember your HD2 is a computer, programs that you install, from unknown sources could possible corrupt the operating system. I have found that when downloading apps, I come here. XDA has been really helpful in solving many of my hardware issues. Following download process is a must. If you get an app from somewhere else, come here first to see if their are any issues. I have had to hard reset on a few occasions, but that was because I was not paying attention. Its a hard lesson to learn, especially when you have installed your apps on your device and not your storage card (just remember to take your card out before doing hard reset and backup your contacts and apps). You can backup all your contacts to microsoftmypone. Then activate your account on your phone. I know its frustrating. What programs have you installed recently?
dont know..as i said i sent it back so ill see if it comes back or anything
Can anyone tell me if this will wipe any updates etc that have been done to the phone by the phone company?
my phone forgot the lock code so i had to do a hard reset, since then the phone has been freezing quite often, mainly when sending/recieving texts if you change the orientation while typing.
at the moment its either wait 2 minutes for it to sort itself out or just restart sense which is now becoming annoying.
any help appreciated
it also wont play the h.264 recordings i have made on the phone, i just get a black screen that says loading :/
well i have figured out it is definately related to the orientaion of the phone, i cannot turn the phone on its side when sending texts or using the web browsers or it will just lock up or slow to a crawl.
p.s. somone just please reply so i know i aint getting ignored cos my posts seem to be lol
Hmmmm...
Is the issue only occuring since you performed the hard reset and not before?
Have you tried reinstalling any updates you had before the reset?
Do you have a lot of msg's in your inbox?
updates are usually stored in root of phone
have you installed any new cabs or roms ??
if you've not installed anything new another hard reset may be in order just to re-syncronize phone
only help I can give at mo

Yeah it will. it is like doing a windows system restore using the restore discs that came with your pc. Personally i would look at updating to a newer rom if you haven't already got a 1.66 or 1.72 based stock rom. You could always look at a custom rom. I use energy 23569 and i haven't had any problems with it. Also the energy roms include a newer version of sense that is included with the new TMOUS roms and it appears to be less buggy
thanks for the replies guys,
it was fine before the reset but it did slow a little in landscape mode but nothing anywhere near what its like now, key presses had a slight delay and now they are like a 5 second delay....portrait mode is perfect.
i always delete messages so my inbox is empty, i never applied any updates prior to the reset, i assumed virgin did it all for me.
i have only installed a few tweaks but the main change is bsb tweaks, i'm now using the latest version where as i was using the prior version before the hard reset but this has only started happening about a week after i installed it.
rom version is 1.66.351.1 (76641) WWE
rom date 03/03/10
manilla version 2.5.19211619.0
OS version 5.2.21869
radio version 2.07.51.22_2
i want to use a custom rom or atleast update to newer one but how will i put it back to the stock rom? the phone has some locked items from virgin installed, they will know if those are not there.
No they won't. Just say you removed them by hand because they were of no purpose to you.
If you install a custom rom on your unbranded, unlocked (the phone virgin supplied you is exactly the same as what you would pay for standalone except for the software extras) Leo it will be easy to install a stock rom. just flash it and then remove HSPL3 in favour of the stock spl (1.42 i think).
Your manilla/sense version is actually very old. There are newer versions about (2015 and 2016) that have been developed for the TMOUS devices but as HTC neglect the UK we haven;t been given the officially yet but most of the new custom roms include them.
If you do stay stock try installing LeoCPUSpeed V4 and chainfire's 3D Driver Patch V2. They will improve the speed of the phone in general and you may find the typing lag goes away completely
Hi All
I've installed HSPL3 and no problems, and when I do install a ROM it seems to work but so far experience issues such as
- random reboots and then its stuck in the 'stick together' screen. I have to take out the battery and wait a while before I it boots properly. Even when i installed an app and reboot..its always stuck and I have to keep taking out the battery.
- above seems to appear as a heat problem. anybody experience anything like that?
- I have 2.10.50.26 radio and I'm having extreme difficulty flashing another radio. It all just keeps failing at 99%....then the 50.26 seems to work after a couple tries and I'm able to boot back into the ROM but again still with the issues above. I just can't seem to install another radio to rule out if .26 causing the issues for me
Anybody having any of these issues
ROM: Elegancia v9.5 (Base ROM v2.13.531)
Radio: v2.10.50.26
try to reflash the rom, or a different rom

Also you may try posting this in the actual ROM thread, either the TMO version or in the Main thread under the LEO forum ....
I recently have been experiencing problems with my HD2 freezing and lagging.
I decided to get rid of the stock ROM that came with my phone. I installed the HSPL 3 on my phone and it is now at 2.08 instead of the 2.10 it came with. I installed the Energy ROM build from Aug. Cant remember which one. For about a month the ROM gave me no issues at all. Then suddenly i started getting freezes as I once did on the stock ROM. I flashed the ROM again and still freezing. I backed up my data on the micro sd card and re-formatted it but the HD2 freezes without the sd card installed. also many times I have had to pull my sim card out to get the phone to respond to my finger. also when i recieved a text message the phone froze.
When i boot into android the phone is fine. no freezes. some lag but no freezing at first. now i get random freezes as well. I just installed the latest Froyostone build from Sept 29 V 3.1 on my micro sd card and it as well has been freezing. Before I installed this new version I was running a clean froyostone version and that too was freezing.
im beginning to think my phone is bad! My sim card is old. Ive had it possibly 4-5 years now since i first signed up with tmobile. ive tried just about every tip available to fix the freezing issue and nothing works. the phone freezes at bootup with a new flashed ROM. freezes on the stock ROM too. Tried the task 29 flashed with radio file.
currently on my HD2 I have the following
SPL 2.08
Radio: 2.07.50.27_2
ROM: Energy Aug 28 2010 WWE
for Android
FroyoStone Sense - Version 3.1 (29-September-2010)
I flashed from the 2.10.50.26 to 2.07.50.27_2 using the task29
I have tried many radios. the stock, the 2.07.50.27_2, 2.08.50.05 and the latest 2.14.50 radio. ALL freeze on my phone. I read on some threads that radios cause the phone to freeze but all of them are freezing. 2.08.50.05 i got my best performance. 3G was very strong indoors and download speeds were through the roof but when i ran android i got the robotic voice so i changed the radio back to stock.
Sorry for all the mixed up info but just wanted to say what I have gone through. The phone will work fine for awhile and then it just freezes. Also another weird thing is that when the phone freezes and i do a battery pull it boots back up right back where it left off. like it did a system resume. it wont say HTC Loading HTC Sense it just goes right to the lockscreen and freezes. WTF!!!
so please anyone have any info for me? because no matter what ROM and/or radio combination i use the phone freezes and even without the micro sd card installed. yes my card is a class 2 and i heard on th htc forum that they are replacing the class 2 cards for class 4 cards but that doesnt seem to be the issue here because the phone freezes without the card.
when i flash the ROM or radio i do not have the sim or sd card installed. I also tried the elegancia rom and i loved it but same thing. freezing. I dont have any apps installed on the phone except for GRemotePro which is installed on the storage card and the phone was freezing before i ever installed that app.
So if anyone reading this has solutions or links to other threads on here please help me by leaving them! I have done a very extensive search through this site for solutions and done many of them with no luck. I hate to call tmobile and go through the hassle of getting another phone especially because i paid 300 bucks for a NEW phone and I dont want to send this one back and get a refurbished unit. I want a NEW working unit in which i originally paid for to begin with!!!!
HELP my fellow HD2 users! I love this phone!
i hink you should download nrg's newset rom but flash the radio he recomends
I'm also having the same issue, and looking for a fix. as what i observed, its a hardware related issue, not software issue.
Did you get any solution after that? I like this phone but it failed me...
