T-Mobile Releasing 2nd ROM Update for HD2

I was on the phone with T-Mobile Support (611), regarding my HD2 and the issues that I am still having with this device. The rep. stated that T-Mobile is aware of the issues on the phone and that the 1st ROM update did not resolve them all and caused some new ones.
She stated specifically this new update would resolve the issue of the device hanging after you try to wake up the phone...also, the "unreliable data connection" issue is still prevalent (I still have this problem - and I have tried everything I can think of or read about). She stated that there are other fixes that they are working on to resolve with this new update.
I could not get a solid time frame, but she stated that it should be pretty quick, given that they issued the first one within a short time frame after the HD2 release.
Now, I'm not sure if this means an upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.3, but I wouldn't count on it. I just hope it is released soon. This device is so nice and so awful at the same time. Constantly I experience little nagging issues that make using this device such a hassle.

Have you tried just flashing it to one of these custom ROMs?

No I have not yet tried the custom ROM yet on the HD2. I like the way the T-Mobile ROM are, I just am getting fed up with the "unreliable data connection" BS. Also, the phone (since the ROM update) has been running slow and I don't think that is acceptable with the 1GHz snapdragon on this device. My only other issue is that the speaker phone stops working because T-Mobile added some stupid software to the device. If you dial 611, the software pops up and tries to solve your problem via webpage and stops the speaker phone from working till you restart the device.
While that is a short list of issues, they are major issues in using the device. But I think i will wait till this 2nd update comes out...if it does not resolve my issues, custom ROM here I come!

I belive flashing NRG will solve your issues It did mine.

Which issue did it solve? The data connection issue?

Data and freezing as well not to mention the phone just flies now. flashing a new radio fixed reception issue

well I will give it a try and see if it resolves my issues as well. I figure we have about a month or so before T-mobile releases the 2nd update. I know I will not be able to last that long with these issues. It is just a pain in the a-- to flash ROMs every day...I'm not into doing it all the time. I would like to find a good stable ROM and run with it. It just takes too much time flashing and reinstalling all those programs and changing the settings to where I like them all (too much work).
Like I said it is a shame, i really like this device on paper, but in the real world is just has some serious issues. I thought i would get a year or two out of this device when i bought it, now I am already looking to swap this puppy out. I'm looking to see what is coming down the pipeline. I refuse to go with WP7 (feels like the step backwards with it limitations as compared to WM6.5 - and i don't want a device that clones the iPhone of 4 years ago)
Anyone other suggestion on custom ROMs?

NRG 21911 is very solid and you don't have to flash everyday it has xda uc and pim backup witch will back up and reinstall all your software I did it yesterday in about 20 min. I refrain from flashing during the week. the the first time it will take about an hour just read all you can on it. 670megs free space on device 13gigs on sd and 300 megs of free RAM

I'm downloading the 23121 Cookie Dinik Glass version right now...I'll let you know how it works on my device. thanks for pointing me in this direction, appreciate it!

tmobile rep told me the same thing after I had a warranty exchange, she said to expect the update soon as there are alot of people experiencing problems with the current software. Although to be honest after running Android on my HD2 I dont think I ever want to use winmo again.

are you getting everything to work with Android? i did not think they have a fully functional Android ROM for the HD2 yet

They're all the same...
My biggest complaint is the bad data connection. Paying too much money for crappy connection. I can't even get connection in my lower level of my house. I think every carrier and cell phones all have their own problems. My two co-workers, one with Droid and the other iPhone have similar problems. Droid keeps freezing 2 warranty phone exchanges so far and iPhone looses connection frequently. iPhone guy wishes his would freeze so he could get a replacement. So it's not just me.

Help me please
So i tried to install android, and on gthe web it said i needed to install hpsl well my phone had it set to 2.10 they stated i needed 2.08 or earlier so i did it but the install still didn't work !!! How can i return my phone back to 2.10 and still get my warranty back

android fo real?

i read on pocetnow that android is being worked on on xda. seen a couple of post too, but there is always some component not really working. is there an official android post where all the kinks are worked out? i would like to switch if thats the case. thanks.

Wow is all I can say about that NRG ROM....it is great! does everything I have been looking for, no data connection issues since last night (I'll report back on this issue as time goes by). It's fast and very stable (so far, but hell I'm impressed), and I did not even use most stable version the 21911.
The UI is great, I love the three pages of app slot, everything is within one or two finger stokes this way. It also gets rid of the apps that I don't want (ie TelNav, etc...) but keeps most of the apps that I do want...I can always install cabs for the programs I want from the official ROM. Plus it has cooked into it all those sweet tweaks and settings. Great work, I'm not even waiting for T-mobile to release the 2nd update any longer.
Thanks gtrplr71 again for suggesting this custom ROM, it's so nice, I don’t even think I will be trying out any other ROMs.

I would not get hopes up of a 6.5.3 upgrade. Could you imagine the Technical support nightmare if they had to troubleshoot 2 different OS versions?
This is one reason I think Android and Linux will really take off in the future.

There's a HD2 Android section in the original HD2 area (euro hd2 section).... but it is a work in progress. There are still a lot of issues and kinks. It will be a while before it works as well as a native android phone. But the progress they've made is unbelievable. It's great having both winmo and android on my phone.

your welcome don't forget to make a backup with pim backup to your sd card and use xda uc once you get things settled. Have fun!

how does the xda uc work? i could not figure that out, when I ran the app it stated that i did not have that file on my storage card...but it appeared there somehow.
Also, the incall record does not seem to work at all. when i lauch it (after I connect or before I connect a call) all I get is a blank lined page (note pad page).
And, is there a list of the added and removed apps somewhere? I could not find it in the ROM thread.
As for the 6.5.3 upgrade from T-Mobile, i don't think it will happen either and right now, after trying the NRG ROM...I don't care. I'm not even going to try the T-mobile 2nd ROM upgrade. Now with Android comes along on the HD2 (fully functional) then i will surely set up a dual boot situation on my HD2. That is like the best of both world.

(xda uc)-you wont notice anything different It will run and monitor the phone for new settings when you decide to flash a new build it will auto run and import settings and apps.

Galaxy Note 7 Port- X-ROM by anggara08

UPDATE: The ROM has been updated to version 2 where lot of bugs have been fixed!
First things first:
The ROM is strictly for those who are using an unlocked N910P on a GSM SIM globally!
This ROM has been ported by @anggara08 for the Snapdragon Powered Galaxy Note 4. He is the creator of this ROM and I'm only sharing the thread link here so that N910P users (which is generally not supported by the OP of original thread) can take a look at what this ROM has to offer.
I'm in no way associated with the ROM development & all the credit for the work goes to @anggara08.
Now, let me come to the main motive of why I am creating this (or sharing this thread) here on N910P thread...
The ROM is being developed keeping in mind the F & G variants of Note 4. However, I did download the ROM on my N910P and it booted successfully. The ROM has few bugs right now like Bluetooth, Flashlight, Hot-Spot cannot be controlled by the toggles, but certain workarounds have been posted by the some users which make this ROM a must try.
So, coming directly to the procedure for flashinf it on N910P:
1. Head over the following thread & read it properly with proper concentration to save your's as well as others time to solve problems that can or could have been avoided.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-t3440223
(All credit goes to @anggara08)
2. Download all the fixes posted by OP like camera-fix, & lock-screen fix.
3. Do note that the boot-loader & the modem required is PE2 or PG1 (I have tested it on these personally). Any other version does not work like OG5, OK1, PE1,etc.
4. Take a full back-up of your current ROM.
5. Make proper wipes (system, dalvik, data, cacke, internal memory,etc).
6. Flash the downloaded X-ROM. Once the flashing is finished, the ROM will automatically boot without any prompt from the TWRP Recovery.
7. It will take a long time to boot. My suggestion is to keep the phone plugged to a charger while the process is going on so as to prevent battery drain.
There's absolutely no need of flashing any Kernel or Super-SU or anything.
Let the ROM boot first.
8. Once it boots, you'll notice that there will not be any network. For it, you have to download following data fix:
(The zip file is as an attachment at the end of this post, Credit goes to @boot_sect for posting it)
9. Boot into TWRP & flash the Data-Fix. Reboot to the ROM and the network will be there. (Note: I am a GSM SIM user so the fix worked for me. Sprint users, try this out at your own will & risk.)
10. Once the ROM is up & running, flash the respective fixes (as mentioned by me earlier & available on original thread by OP) and you'll have an amazing ROM to play with. :good:
Few suggestions & fixes by @boot_sect:
Additional Notes:
Bluetooth not turning off: Seems to be ROM issue, or at least for us T/W8s. Even without data fix it does not want to turn off...
> Temp fix: Quick and dirty way to disable bluetooth is by going into your favourite app manager (eg. Titanium Backup) and disabling "Bluetooth Share", then re-enabling when bluetooth turns off. This will keep BT turned off until you manually enable it next time (or at least, for a very long time.)
Flashlight not turning off. Most likely ROM issue as many users are experiencing this.
> Temp fix: Use "Quick Tools" in the Edge Panel to turn it off. Thanks to @justforgot to finding this workaround.
I'm not posting any screen-shots of the ROM as a dedicated video of it on N910F can be found on the original thread.
Last but not the least, If moderators find this thread useless, they are free to close it.

@Robin...Thanks for hooking us up to this and taking time for the right up.

how long we have to wait?
how long we have to wait for the first boot?..and thanks

Was able to boot it up and play with it but no go on the data for sprint. I tried manually setting apn and nothing also the screen goes dim after a while. Nevertheless it is awesome seeing this thing running and cannot wait for the geniuses to stabilize it. One awesome thing I noticed it is how little bloat it had almost no apps aside from the essentials.

It should not take more than 15-20 mins... If it does, pull out the battery (though not recommended in first place) and try again.

Did you not get the data or the network??
Also,did you flash the data-fix for the network or it was available without flashing it?
As far as the bugs are concerned, I can help you out for a work-around.

Hello,
Was anyone able to fix the screen going dim?

For these international GSM ports to work on cdma, especially our sprint variant, a LOT of work must be done in framework, csc and build.prop. no exceptions. I wish there was an easier solution but that's the only way because by default these GSM roms are setup for GSM networks. I'm working on my own S7/N5 port and this is the last thing i have to do... cell service isn't working. i am trying different ideas as time permits. I have been porting TW roms and doing this stuff for a while and i can say that there is a TON of work that has to be done to even get these new softwares to boot, let alone work fully on a different device all together. mostly hardware, driver and kernel related things which takes a huge amount of time. So you must thank these developers for theit time and patience with this stuff. It's the most difficult challenge when it comes to building out roms. It makes native custom rom building seem like a walk in the park. Trust me. LOL. We'll get it it sooner or later. give it time.

i can't wait for your rom!!
they are usually the best ones!!

@tx_dbs_tx: You are absolutely right that each and every developer works extremely hard in order to make a ROM boot. We should be really grateful to all the developers like you who make it possible for the users like me to experience difference ROMs on our phones.
It would be really shameful on our part if we can't even thanks a developer for all the hard work that he puts in..
Also, I'm using a GSM SIM (had even contacted you some time ago regarding it, if you remember.. ) on N910P so the above mentioned ROM worked for me without any network issues. I've edited the thread to mention that It's only for those who use GSM SIM on N910P.

I must say I was not expecting to even boot at all and was surprised when it did. I totally agree with the patience, I use your roms regularly and in fact am using one as we speak and loving it. Many thanks for your time and dedication, it very much appreciated.

I am here to say a BIG thank you. This Rom is working very well, just a few bugs like the bluetooth not turning off and a few other minor things.. Keep up the great work look forward to this Rom progressing.

Cool, will have to check out. I'm also an unlocked gsm user, and am always having to tweak build prop and apn conf files to get my ROMs working properly. Not that I mind.
But cool to see something else to try. Thanks

Awesome Dude

developing anyone who wants to help has ideas lets post them here

i have a machine with linux on it and a remote desktop client called teamviewer for those who would want to help get one of these roms ported so to speak. further more anyone have ideas or know how to fix other issues as well as kernels. then post here let us know although my post its not just for me. i will also keep posting my progress here from now on. if anyone wants to learn what i learned i have a discord server where we can voice at. its hard to actually type and explain and the other machine can show as i talk about what ever. so feel free to post what ever as well if u just want me to call it quits let me know down bellow. i figure we get enough people who know stuff bout each of the process we might get farther then just me. then im gonna try to develop my own rom that will be awhile xd. i learned what i know in like a month so im no expert but i love learning new stuff as well as knowing i accomplished something good.heres what i got so far auto brightness doesnt work double tap does not work although its in the settings. wifi is still broke im getting closer to get wifi but maybe some new eyes can help with the kernel configs or symlink or well you get the picture.https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767145938heres how to flash goto twrp goto wipe do the delete data option that has you type yes. then just restore backup normal way in twrp. sorry first one was a old broke version posted new link. also install install one of these when ur finish restore http://opengapps.org/if this was helpful please hit the ty button. if u feel the need to donate thats there as well enjoy and maybe we can get rr marsh mellow to at least be our temp os. after you load it up at least once i recommend going back to twrp and doing the factory restore option
before u proceed to other stuff

yeah it wont be a DD without wifi but im light on using data anyhow for the time being. what version of crdroid are you making? im not personally interested in any particular version of android i just cant wait any longer to rid myself of EMUI as a whole beyond what im already able to. i dont know if either of you had any issues or maybe it was just me, but copying RR to my ext-sd twrp folder it would just stop copying and i tried it both from within twrp and android. i had to copy it directly to the root of the ext-sd. anyway im installing now just wanted to let you know what was up so far over here.
Edit: I'm sure this wont apply to those who cant figure it out as you shouldnt mess with it anyway if you couldnt but, you have to remove the "_image" from the end of the system backup file in order for twrp to see that partition and be able to restore it.

Hey its Jarrett didn't wanna login. RR works amazing and is exactly what I'm looking for from a ROM. Auto brightness works just fine for me, I came directly from b130 BTW. WiFi just sits there trying to turn on but it never does so I can confirm that. Also double tap to lock works for me. Is there anything that doesn't work for you that you'd like me to try and confirm coming from b130 seems to fix the issues you were having other than WiFi not working.

I do not have a way yo test NFC but yes this ROM is butter smooth and leaves much more room available while also allowing you to use an SD card as expanded system storage. I have yet to find any bugs or settings that do not work as intended other than WiFi and double tap to wake but only WiFi is important to me.

Im near certain that this phone hardware wise does not support otg. But if we get WiFi I'll be sure to hit that donate button. Thank you for what we have so far. Its running great and everything I wanted is available. Even audio over USB works just fine.

Speakerphone is a little quite but tolerable when playing a YouTube video. I suppose it could go up a little bit. Until I run into other situations that's all I have for you right now.

yea i think i can fix speaker easy the wifi i have to compile a complete kernel with drivers etc designed for it

I found another bug, it may be kernal related. When watching videos via the YouTube app that video may freeze while Tue audio continues playing. This has been occurring since installed.

I'm tinkering with my Portable as well . I currently have Linage OS on it and am able to install NVIDIA Games on it . Geforce Now will not stream however and I get an "error code 11". I also was not able to download Xcloud game streaming .
Let me ask you about your portable . If you are on stock firmware ( Lollipop) , do you randomly lose volume -like if the headphones where plugged in ? This happens on mine . If I'm on Kit Kat it's fine but I can't use Geforce Now or anything .
I've been racking my brain over this for awhile - there is still some life in this device and would like to resolve this issue.

I need to get a stock OTA zip currently I can't find it in any of my archives I've also been pretty busy lately as for any issues pertaining to the stock OTA I can't take a look until later on I will be setting up a build environment to see if I can build stock again from source (not sure how likely it will be) I have been hearing a lot of issues with stock OTA now I am honestly not sure if that is due to issues with it or if some of these devices aren't aging well
Also any of you looking to reach me with any questions I don't check XDA much so here's a telegram link to the chat pinned to first post

lol - This device !! I've decided I'm not giving up yet ! I've tried stock L ( 103, 106, 110 ) All have this weird sound issue where the speakers will either make heart attack inducing high pitches ( capacitor noises ? ) or the volume will force itself into "silent mode" . You can restart the portable and the sound will come back , calm down ect. This is really bothering me though because game streaming is still really good on this device . Also when on official Kit Kat or Linage OS none of these sound problems occur. I've even tried rooting it and basically removing all Google apps possible and the sound issue still happens .
Currently I have the portable rooted with Magisk on Linage OS 6.1 ( the last nightly build) I've tried hiding the NVIDIA apps , Sony PS4 Remote Play and have had "no luck ". Geforce Now will install perfectly start to load the game , then right before it starts there is a error code 11 that pops up .
Something Google did in the lollipop update to the portable messed up the speakers . ( I thought it might be the "memory leak issue" - but the last update OFW was 5.1 not 5.0
Haaaalllppp !!!

No worries . I did read on some old NVIDIA forums around the time of the Lollipop update , some people did talk about sound loss issues .

Hey, question to anyone who can answer - I just got my hands on a couple of Shield Portable 2 prototypes. They seem a bit less complete than the famous one that showed up at a pawn shop a couple of years ago, but one of them turns on and can connect to the internet. I want to see if I can get it up and running - it's still quite buggy, will crash if any videos are opened and obviously doesn't have any google services involved - but I just want to do what I can to make it as usable as possible. . I'm a complete noob when it comes to all this, just someone who was a big fan of the original portable and wanted to try and get this prototype to run some games. If anyone can help me out, or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I'm wondering if you could dump the system info , if someone could make a custom rom that could be flashed ?

I'm interested in anything that people manage with streaming.
I got lineage android 6.1 installed on it yesterday and managed to get the xbox game streaming app installed via the apk (the latest one boots then crashes, but the one before loads), however it still requires a bluetooth controller to connect, wish we could get the integrated controller to work with this and would make it so perfect for streaming xbox remotely.

If anyone is wondering yes I am still working on the device as we all know this year has been a real doozy for us all also I am moving across the US this coming week so please just work with all the devs here and we shall see what happens

Awesome glad to hear it. Just revived mine.
I am working on gathering all Shield portable files and putting them up on our website AFH. Let me know when you have something ready and I will make sure it gets put on every server possible and doesn't get deleted.
Here is what I have gathered so far
https://androidfilehost.com/f/shield
Thanks
Alex with AFH

Oddly enough guys I've been having issues pulling the manifest from RR I've told them about the issue we'll see if it gets fixed it looks like I am not having any issues pulling aosp manifest keep in mind I am not saying that I will have a aosp rom out because I am unsure if that will even work but we will see what happens
Update: no issues with AOSP now I'm just waiting for lineage to finish again no promises of a rom guys I know we've been having issues since 7.x android quite frankly I'd be surprised myself if lineage 17.1 will even work
Also on some personal notes this is 100% a back burner project as it looks as tho I'll be having to move again as I haven't been able to find work where I am currently at I know that the whole covid-19 situation has made it hard on everyone especially here in the US among other things in the country right now but I am still hopeful things will turn around and work out and hopefully I can get some kind of build out even if it's not great

Not sure I know RR 6.0.1 had quite a few bugs but due to how outdated 6.x is I can't really do much with it

What are you working on currently on this device?

Joy UI v12

Hi! I recently updated my Blackshark 2 and after the update, an old problem I had came back.
My connections keep fluctuating. I'll be using the internet on my phone for apps and then my mobile networks and wifi suddenly disconnects and reconnects after a few seconds. It's really frustrating since it keeps disconnecting me from internet-intensive apps.
Any ideas on how to fix this? It's honestly driving me nuts.

Factory reset should fix that.

Unfortunately it didn't work. I've noticed I'm getting notifications before I get disconnected. My phone keeps trying to activate my sim cards even though they're already activated.

Ok, so you probably then used some beta build of JoyUi12 or something that is not yet officially published or it is not for your device eg. you had global and flashed chinese build or other way around. Go back to build that worked and wait for official release.

Ok, sorry for wrong assumption. I just try to help as best as i can.
Usually problems that you have are coming from software because after update some old stuff from previous version stick around and have conflict with new stuff so factory reset should fix that. In your case that did not worked so maybe it is a hardware problem.

I apologize for the hostile tone, it was not my intention at all. You have been very helpful and I've greatly appreciated the effort. I'll try doing some more random stuff. This has happened before about half a month ago but it went away. Now that it's back its even worse than before so i can't just ignore it as I had in the past.
Again, thanks for the input. You've really been a great help.
