Been out of the HD2 forums for sometime so bit rusty & out of touch.
I have manged to get hold of a T-mobile HD2 & would like to know if I can put a standard WWE ruu 6.5 on if I need to go back to windows for w/e reason?
I do intend to put Andriod on due to the extra memory on the T-mobile version.
Thanks
If you mean a t mobile USA (tmous) then NO!! Never ever flash an unbranded or non tmous branded) rom. Tmous will ONLY take tmous branded roms, otherwise the radio in regular roms will brick it.
However yes its simple to go back from android to winmo stock.

As far as i am aware it's a UK t-mobile thats been sim unlocked.
Will this make any difference? How can i tel if it's a tmous or not?
Ta
Ah that's different, only tmous (green send red end keys) are affected by radio brick. (Well, normal flashing risks apply, of course, but there's no rom that can brick your phone just by flashing it.)
The confusion is your post 1 mentions extra memory(edit see **), , that's tmous only. Your phone is a regular hd2, rom locked to t mobile. (Not connected to sim unlock, it will always be rom locked to t mo, so your stock roms will be "HTC Leo UK tmo 1.43, 1.72 and 3.14.
The tmous can be considered a slightly different phone than the rest of us have.mines o2 UK, same as yours but different rom lock. Everything's the same tho, dead easy to go back to stock, various ways to do it should you need to.(I wont 1,2,3 it, go read the tuts and stickies)
Edit ** I assumed you meant 1024 rom instead of 512, but maybe you mean the ram, 576 vs 448, well that extra 128 is actually there in our phones, you just don't get to use it in the stock roms, it requires a tmous spl and radio to unlock it,, android will see and use it, you don't need to do anything.

Hey,
a friend of mine wants to buy a HD2 and the branded ones in Germany are nearly 100€ cheaper than the unbranded ones. Vodafon HD2s are the cheapest, then O2....
So my question is, these phones are not locked to the provider but I think they have a branded rom and stuff like this, so is it possible to flash them with custom roms, radios etc.? So that they don't have anything left on them which makes them a branded phone? Or is it a little bit more complicated?
Thanks a lot!!
Yes you can flash them. It just takes alittle common sense and abit of reading.

yeah I already flashed my HD2 I just wanted to know if its different if the HD2 is branded. So if its only branded its no problem to flash it, its the same like an unbranded, it has just a different software.
branded (rom lock) just means t.at the only rom that will load without hspl is the original branded rom. as soon as hspl is applied it can take any rom, until hspl is removed.

Um....HD2?
He means like what type of hd2....
There are mainly two types of HD2's, EU and TMOUS, with EU meaning a european hd2, whilst TMOUS, a t-mobile USA branded HD2.
Reason being you can't flash a EU stock rom with a TMOUS stock rom or you will brick your device, and vice versa for TMOUS.

Which telephone provider did you get your phone from? For example: T-Mobile, Telstra, etc.

You can do tbis two ways. One uou can flash the official ROM for your HD2 via SD card and it will make you completely stock or you can use HSPL 4 to revert back to your original SPL. I suggest just flashing the ROM via SD myself as then hou will have no worries.
Here is a link to learn how to flash via SD card:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317

thanks T-macgnolia I am gonna try it and let you know
T-mobile Netherlands. I have read today the release notes from Cotulla. So I make progress
It worked as bepe and Cotulla did already wrote.
Take a ruu signed rom rename it in LEOIMG.nbh
Put it on a sd card
Go into bootloadermode and OK!
I made a mistake in the renaming I renamed in LEOIMAGE.nbh
I'm currently running the 3.14.405.2 WWE ROM on my unlocked/unbranded retail HD2 on the T-Mobile network, but HTC have made available a new T-Mobile (UK) ROM 3.14.110.1. What is the difference between that ROM and my existing WWE ROM? Is there any point in me flashing with the T-Mobile ROM, or would that be a retrograde step?
Thanks.
if you want exactly the same rom that you already have, but with t mobile branding, and probably tmobile proxy settings making the web worse, go for it!
If a nice t mobile splashscreen isn't what you are after, dont bother.
Translation - the roms are the same, just the t mo one has t mo branding.

T-mobile and 02 branded phones take an age for updates to become available. The HTC 3.14 ROM has been available since Oct, and 02/T-Mo have only just released it. And I'm certain there has been at least one HTC update not released by 02. The branded phone ROMS prevent you from flashing HTC ROMs without HSPL, I've just sent my 02 branded to the shop and they sent it back brand free but with the Cotulla HSPL. Not a massive turn-off if you don't mind flashing and installing HSPL, but not ideal if you just want to use your phone.
Personally, I don't mind going through all the HSPL install and ROM flashing, so I'd go for WP7!!!
OK, I bought a HD2 of ebay, locked to T-Mobile, I live in Gibraltar where we only have one network provider (Gibtel) so T-Mobile is no good to me. Took phone to some dodgy Spanish shop and after some dodgy Spanish speak (by me) got the phone unlocked so can use my Gibtel Sim.
Problems up to now:
Radio now doesnt work +
Nor does bluetooth.
I'm such a divvie I cant even reset the phone whilst holding down the volume button to see what SPL, if any, is on the phone.
Anyhow, question is, to try and get bluetooth and radio back, if i update the rom through official HTC website, using T-Mobiles rom (the only one it will let me download) will this lock the phone back onto T-Mobile?

NO it will not lock thier phone back to T-Mobile. Once it is sim unlocked it will always be sim unlocked no matter what ROM you flash to it.
Also at the OP it is a reason why the HTC site will omly let you download the T-Mobile ROM for your HD2. The TMOUS can not flash any other official ROM but the T-Mobile ROMs as the other ROMs may not have the right radipo versions. The TMOUS can not be flashed with any radio versions 2.04,50,xx, 2.-05.50.xx, or any x.xx.51.xx radio version as they will brick a TMOUS. Go here to learn everything you need to know and be aware of when flashing a TMOUS HD2 with a Windows Mobile ROM. Also if you get any ROMs for the TMOUS from "[ROM]Leo 1.5 T-MOBILE Test & Stock ROMS" .
Do not use the 2.01 ROM as it has a 2.05.50.11 radio and will kill your HD2.
No, it will not lock the phone. Any firmware updates do not deal with lock function.
But it is better to use custom firmware (I use BOYPPC version) and you can update your phone to the latest radio version independently from main firmware.
You are all fantastic and I want your babies. Did official update and now everything works and phone still unlocked
Hi there, need you guys to confirm me something: i had Android on my Htc HD2 but i need to send it to warranty. I've installed Windows mobile from HTC site (didnt ask for serial number is it normal?), put SPL 3.03.0000 and radio 2.15.50.14 Do i need anything else? Just need confirmations so i can send it today
After reverting back to Stock - nope. Stock SPL, stock ROM. Which carrier do you use? Use the ROM and SPL that comes from that carrier
I have the normal HD2 (not the T-Mobile version). I didn't understand pretty well your answer. So what i have to do different from what it is now so it can go to warranty?

So the main thing is: Different carriers use different ROM versions. For example there might be different Sense versions. If you can find out with which Sense version your HD2 was shipped that'd be better - I think
