[Q] [Newbie-Help] Android on my HD2 (Vodafone?)

Hey folks,
just got my HD2 from eBay and it seems like a Vodafone-branded Version ... Vodafone Logo is displayed at startup. I´m using a T-Mobile SIM, so it´s unlocked at least.
Well, I read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881958
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
... and I don´t want to brick my "little" new phone ... so here is some information:
SPL 1.42.0000
Flash 512 MB
OS 1.2.21864
Manila 2.5.19202525.0
ROM 1.44.162.6 (70494) GER
Radio 2.04.50.22
I tried this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881937 and at startup it just did nothing while showing "Jumping to Kernel (custom)" ... yes at that all and it won´t do more
Can someone help me ?

... OK, this thread is kinda nice lol:

You just need to up your radio. Forget HSPL - you're just wasting your time, unless you need to do it for the radio upgrade.
EDIT: Just checked and there's a Vodafone version of the latest ROM. It comes with the latest radio that is perfect for running Android.

quick question: if I want to remove the branding, I just have to flash a unbranded update via SSPL?

Yes. If you want to flash an unbranded ROM then you'll need to update SPL, but if you're running Android then it won't matter
I strongly recommend the latest ROM. I've been using it since it was released and I've had 0 problems with it.

thanks ;-) I´ve had an HTC Hero with Android 2.2 and now I see this WM 6.5 ... and it´s such a crap lol, oh well.
I installed the latest Vodafone-ROM and now I´ll copy Android to the SD and take a look ... next thing will be the bootloader and I´ll update this thread then lol.

Sounds like you're sorted mate. Have fun

... so I just tried this ROM (Desire Z) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881937 and it froze ... oh well, now I´m waiting for an MIUI-ROM to boot

Don't know if you know, but it may need to create a disk image the first time you boot, and this can take quite a while.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

... hey there again folks ... played some with the MIUI and I kinda like it ... but I have a "little" problem ... the sound stops working after some time
will use the search, but yesterday I found nothing

... oh boy I have to say, that it´s pretty hard when you can a device some time after it´s launch date. yeah.
well, I´m going to stick to SD-builds for now, keeping NAND in my head and I like the fakt of killing Windows Mobile of my HD2 ;-)
OK, cyall folks and try to help the noobs a little bit more

[Q] HTC Firmware update for Mango

Hi
Could you please tell me whether the HTC firmware update for Mango will be available on Zune for the HTC HD2? I currently have the terrific NoDo version by XBmod-Yuki installed and decided to stop at NoDo and wait for the official Zune release. I then read that Mango will not be fully functional unless you have the HTC firmware update, but as the HTC HD2 should't be running Mango, i'm confused. The reason I ask is because I don't know if the HTC firmware is brand or phone specific? Any enlightenment is much appreciated.

You'd get more attention posting this in the Windows Phone 7 Q&A Sub-forum

Yes, HTC updates are device-specific. You wont be able to use a Mango OTA on your phone since it was not designed for the HD2. Best to wait for the devs to get their hands on it & adapt it for this phone.

HTC HD2 should not be running Nodo either, yet there you are... Of course there will never be an official Mango release for HD2, firmware upgrade means you need to buy another phone!
The only way for you to get Mango on your phone is to go to the WP7 development forum for HD2 and get your HD2 loaded with the latest Mango from there. Stick with the same dev team *hint hint

HD" WP7 update from first DFT release to some 7.5 ROM

Hi guys.. I know, this probably is a 1000-times-asked question, but I didn't find an easy answer...
I've got the first official DFT realease of WP7 on my HD2... never upgraded.
I'd like to put some 7.5 rom in my HD2... what should I do? Do I have to go back to WM6.5 and then flash WP7.5? Or can I just use a WP7.5 rom?
Could you point me to the correct threads, maybe?

Update your ROM and see if that helps. You are running a VERY early version and the dev has updated his build many times since your current version

I'm not very familiar the DFT build in detail, but I did not find any notation in the DFT thread that the ROM is updateable via Zune and WP7 provisioning. All the other ROM mods (Yuki/XBmod being the original updateable ROM) state they are updateable as they incorporate Yuki/XBmod's provisioning mod.
As for 8773, MS has not released 8773 yet for distribution as far as I haven't read anything to a 8773 release. For 8107, again, the DFT ROM may not be updateable.
If you want an updateable ROM, I suggest flashing one of the other ROM mods.

Thanks a lot,but the other ROMS,they dont have a heavy camera like DFT Ultrafruit,thats reason i want to use DFT ROM,do you know what rom have it???Can you give me some advise about whats the best rom now??including heavy camera and quiet good battery life,cause DFT Rom which im using is good battery.Thanks!!!

H2O ROM is based on DFTs ROM so I think that you have the same quality of camera as with the original DFT ROM.
Or am I wrong??

Pdaimatejam is also based on DFT with the same camera, as well. I believe all of the modded ROMs are based on DFT except for Yuki/XBmod (no longer being developed).
I'm waiting to see if these supposed "updateable" ROM actually update via Zune when the official final version of 8773 is released. I know that the Yuki/XBmod ROM actually did update like a real WP7 phone via official updates.
By the way, the ROMs with 8773 are based on a leaked beta of 8773 and is not the final RTM version.

Well, if you want your phone to be upgraded to 8107 and future updates, you'll have to use a ROM that is updateable. It doesn't seem like DFT Ultrafruit (as the base ROM) has update capability.
My signature has the ROMs I use on my phones.

8107 is Mango and 8773 is Tango. As I said the version of 8773 in the current ROMs is a leaked beta. MS should be releasing the final version of 8773 soon. Do as you will. There are varying opinions. You probably won't notice differences in day to day use.
