Quick question,
how can you tell which is which by looking at the phones? The HD2 i currently have has been flashed, so it shows t8525 in the settings, when i purchased it, it came in the telstra box but my 3G doesnt work (running on Rogers with a 4000 series sim card)
Is there any other way to see if its the telstra version? where can i check what bands are being used for data?
the rom im running is 1.66.405.2 wwe
Thanks!
Look on the back, towards the bottom. The Telstra version will say NextG Network and have a T logo.
awesome thank you

Thanks now..and donations wil follow )
dunno if I'm right, but as long as I know, telstra phones are already unlocked... at least the one I bought from Australia... I live in Mexico and my telstra edition was working with telcel as soon as I took out it of the box...
Telstra HD2s are not locked

I can confirm this.....
Except it's got the telstra rom on it that restricts certain settings/functions... but u can easily get rid of it...
I am using one here in the US. What a wonderful phone, thanks to our Aussie Bros that I can use this phone on att US./
Not locked.
any sim works on it but you won't get full internet pottential until you change the rom. I tried a 3 mobile sim when i 1st got the phone, i had reception straight away but no internet. but as soon as i got rid of the telstra rom & retried my 3 sim, everything set up in an instant just as with a telstra sim.
You might want to look at flashing a generic HTC rom, as it will pick up the new provider settings if your using another countrys sim.
First you will need to remove the spl and install a hard spl

I would download hspl2_run.zip and install 2.08
Then get the htc rom

1.72 WWE should do the trick.
Hope this helps.
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?

Yes i will be locked back to T-Mobile if u flash official ROM.
Try flashing any Custom ROM so that ur phone will still be unlocked

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

no, it will NOT work on all provider. Like I got my HD2 from UK and it is working with Rogers and Fido only (with data) but no 3G (just edge)
But my personal advise is to either by HD7 or any android device
Thanks,
