Hey all, just checked the stickies and wiki 1st as since I just got the new Tmobile USA HD2 I want to see what is the best path to go.
I checked 1st for the hard spl, but says 1024 rom from tmobile not supported? Im assuming that means mine? Since the flash size is 1024. Am I correct?
Basically I am curious. The custom roms, do they have all the features tmobile gave it? Mobitv, Blockbuster, GPS map etc.
Mainly I wouldnt mind trying to get Linux on here, Android or a better Windows mobile rom.
Im used to which builds I like from other htc phones.. but everytime I get a new one Its ton of reading for me. Issue tho in this case, I dont know if there is a hardspl or cid unlock yet. So dont wanna go in guns blazing and trying things.
Anyone have any info for me on whats up or where to start? Or IS there even a start for the tmobile one yet? I was so excited about it I had to get it at launch. =D
Also can these things Dual Boot? =) Thanks for any info, didnt see these covered on the sticky yet, so thats why im asking.
SPL - 2.08 is my spl for it.
grats on your lovely new toy, but no hspl for it yet. You will have to wait!
yes they can dual boot, but no android for a while.
many of the roms will have the same things as yours, there is no compatibility problems, you just can't flash yet.
just get to know your phone, and by the time hspl1024 is ready you'll be in a great position to tweak to your hearts content.
I do have one question. I KNOW my G1 just got crippled when they switched my data to the smartphone package. I just changed back to have the adroid one. Now I KNOW Iphones can use the internet2.voicestream setting from a G1 plan.
Anyone know what internet features youd LOSE by using a Android plan on the HD2? If any? I dont like the idea of switching back and forth data plans basically heh.
Arg now im more confused.. On the T-Mobile website it says this. 512MB ROM, 1GB RAM, So is that not hardspl? Or is that still a 1024 rom? Im confused..
Well I asked a question earlier today about receiving an HD2 and wanting to know how i find out if its a TMO usa version. There is no TMO branding on the phone, but when i start it up with my TMO sim in it..it says choose network. I have a choice of TMO or something else..dont remember..started with a T i think.....So..what version phone do I have ..and why was my thread deleted? in the first place. I think I have a legit question.
thankyou
settings tab - about phone - hardware info-flash size.
if it says 1024 its a tmous however more direct hints are.... is it from t mobile usa? does it have red and green start and end buttons? if no, then its not.
yeah ok it says flash size is 512. So this isnt a Tmo usa version. It was given to me today from someone at HTC, so i didnt know what version it is...so it works with my TMO sim..but no 3g I assume....
So is there a serial number or something so I can find out exactly what model I have?
thankyou

Just so you know, your other thread wasn't deleted. It's there... had a couple replies, too. You can click on your name and go to your info page... from there there is links to see all your posts. That's an easy way to find threads that you started or posted in.

look in the back of the phone, if it doesnt have the nextG/Telstra branding below the battery cover, then it's a T8585. If it does, then it's a T9193. And like others have said, TmoUS version has a big-ass T-mobile logo right below the earphone with green/red call/hang-up buttons (not to mention flash size of 1024MB).

I searched for that thread and couldnt find it....even searched my user name and it didnt come up?..of course i could be losing my mind, which Im ok about.
Ok..so back of phone has nothing...and under the battery is just the ime,s/n and p/n. But i dont see a model number.
Unbranded?

My HD2 has seen better days - the screen is cracked and the micro USB port is not working. It will cost about £120 to get both issues fixed. My question is --- should I get it fixed or move to a "proper" Android phone, is the HD2 still the best there is or do other phones do Android better?

Hi - please can you create a new thread with your question as it does not relate to my original question.
In short the thread for the Android ROM you are wanting to load will have the necessary instructions for flashing it to your phone. AND spend as much time as you can reading and re-reading the variosu threads on how to do this. If you get it wrong you could permanently damage your phone. If you have any specific questions then search the forums for answers, and if you need to ask a new question please start a new thread.
Thanks

Use the search button and don't hijack other people's threads. Are you seriously that stupid?!
@OP, Sadly I would say that it's time to move on. I compared my HD2 to my friend's SGS2 and another friend's Sensation, and they are a lot better. £120 is a bit much though, I got my HD2 brand new from O2 (or rather, my Dad did, I'm only 14) for £187.
Yea I been thinking the same thing, my HD2 has seen better days (Power Button) and thinking about upgrading to the Amaze 4g, bought my wife a Sensation a few months back and its pretty cool, basically the same just a little better specs, so i think it's close to the end, at least for me, had it since launch day.

Yeah I feel the same way, but the end is near, but it will be a great back-up phone. The only reason I haven't upgraded yet is the possibility of the Galaxy Nexus coming to T-Mobile, but regardless, I will be upgrading within the month.
I have just got a Used Tmobile Unlocked HD2 today it is running Android but don't know if its from SD Card or from the internal memory.
But I want dual boot WM7.5 (Mango) with the Android.
No Idea how to do and which HSPL, Radio & Rom Should I choose for both Android & WM 7.5 ( Mango)
Just need a suggestion and if there is any link, so that I can get all the info as newbie, it will be really helpful for me....
Thank....s in advance
P.S I have not found any thread for my ans. & that's the reason I have create a new thread, If I have done any mistake sorry for that.
which HSPL, & Radio

When you say t mobile, do you mean t mo USA? Only the USA version (the "tmous") is different.
Always and only 2.08.hspl for android and wp7.
Radio, there are two families of radios, 2.xx.51.x and 2.xx.50.x,, (shortened to ..50.. and ..51.. ) take special note of the 50 and 51. For magldr, android, wp7 you MUST have a ..50.. radio, and the 2.xx.50 xx must be higher than 06.
To keep it simple, if you DO have a tmous, the radio will already work. (..50.. radios are tmous radios)
If you have a regular hd2 (all white hard key lights) then go flash 2.15.50 radio.
If you do have a tmous NEVER EVER flash a ..51.. radio, or a non tmous stock winmo rom, or ..50.. radios lower than 2.06.50, because they will always brick tmous phones.
Yes it is Tmob USA version
Its different??
Thank you for your reply Sir
Can you please suggest me a hspl & radio for my tmous, I have found HSPL4 from your signature & the radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
that link (1st radio of that link) i.e Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14**: MultiUpload
Can I use those or it will brick??
Thank you again
use hspl4 to set 2.08.hspl (android / wp7 will ONLY work with 2.08.hspl) and yes that radio is fine.

or it could be hardware related:

But let me tell you that now my HD2 is working like charm, no issues at all...
and I am really happy to be a HD2 Owner .
I have a another question here...
I flasher that 6.5 os at the day 1.
Using Mango Pdaimatejam ROM 8107 v7.2
and ICS from SD
But somehow I found there is two types of radio...
1. Hardware Radio.
2. Software radio.
As I came to know Radio version ....51.... will brick the Tmous, and that's why we have to flash with ....50.... radios. And I think this is the Hardware Radio Part... If I am wrong please let me know.
But...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21988711&postcount=1876
Here Dxdy has given different types of Hardware as well as Software radio link along with latest rom.
Now please tell me If I use
Hardware Radio= Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14.
And Software Radio radio =5.51
Will this combination brick my TMOUS HD2??
Thanks in advance
Im thinking of buying HTC HD2 again (had one, sold it, regret it) from eBay.
Im had an EU/UK version, im thinking of getting US version with more (1024MB on T-Mobile US version)
Do all the Roms with Android, WP7 etc, that are made for non-us version will work with T-Mobile US version ?
is there any resone i shuld no get US version ?
===
Sorry for noob question, but im at work and shuld not be google'ing too much
Android and wp7 work on both types of hd2.
Do Android roms that made for HD2 512 vsersion will work on HD2 1024 US-version ?
US version will work on 3G, HSDPA in UK ?
Depends, most do, read the instructions for that rom.
er,WARNING...you will brick your hd2 if you are not VERY sure.
most EU roms will brick us t-mob phone,and other way round.
read up very carefully before you even think about trying.
search posts from bahakahn,he just bricked his trying.

Wrong, tmous roms will not brick a regular hd2

Lol, its a three n half year old phone, autumn 2009, I know cos I got mine just a few months after release., and there's nothing I said that was wrong, but feel free to point out what you think I got wrong, and I'll explain your noob error.
The OP asked about android and wp7 roms, and i said yes they're fine, because they ARE fine, , the worst that could happen is the phone wont boot the rom and you need to reflash (hence the post saying to read that roms first posts, if it says tmous only, don't flash it to an EU, , simple)
What you think i SHOULD have said was '' yes the roms you asked about will all work fine on a tmous, however EU winmo roms will not work on a tmous.'' Even though the OP didn't ask about winmo, but did ask specifically about two other OS's, you seem to think i should pre-empt his question by answering more than he asked for.
The facts are
1 - All stock roms contain radios - If you flash a regular radio (regular radios are 2.xx.51, tmous radios are 2.xx.50) either as part of a stock rom, or as a separate radio.img, to a tmous, the tmous will be bricked.
That's it, that's all, you can flash anything to a regular hd2, and you can flash any android or WP7 ROM to either tmous or regular, no danger. Some android roms may be specific to tmous but this is ONLY to do with the size of the internal storage, you will NOT brick your phone flashing a tmous specific android rom to a regular hd2. (or the other way around)
2 - this is not supposed to be a newb forum, otherwise it would be called 'xda-noobswhoneedhandholding.com' If teh op asks about android and wp7, and i answer about android and wp7, what's wrong with that? He didn't ask about ubuntu on hd2 either, should i have mentioned that too? If he'd said simply 'will regular roms work on a tmous' i would have answered explaining about the winmo roms as well as the wp7 and android,,, but he didn't, so i didn't.

Ok I had to jump in here, Sam has been posting here in the HD2 forums for a very long time now. I personally have much respect for him as his post taught me much of what I low about the HD2. If he tells you something about the HD2 you can trust his information. Plus I learned the hard way that anyone that comes to XDA to mod their device has to take full responsibility for any bad action that happens because of something they did to their device. It is the end users responsiblity to research and confirm the actions they are taking is safe.
Oh and mods please remove the thanks I gave tleaf100 as that was a total mistake on my part. I hit the thanks button on accident when I was trying to touch the quote button.
