Will these radios work with an EU HD2? It has HSPL 2.08 on it.

Here's the thing, people. Everywhere on XDA there are cautions about flashing a "51" radio on an HD2 that has "50". To do so would brick the phone. The HD2 in question has a "51" radio. Wouldn't a "50" radio brick this HD2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes.........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
EU Leo can take any radio, 50 or 51, that radio brick is for tmous phones only, ours are fine.

BUT if you use a winmo rom that unlocks the 576 ram, or a tmous rom, or magldr, you must have a ,,50,, (2.08.50.x or higher) else winmo/magldr won't boot till you flash one.

Cannot find radio 2.15

Hello, I have downloaded radio 2.15.50.14 from the link in the first post of this thread, but when I try to install it to my HD2 with the CustomRUU utility it appears that the file contains radio 2.12.50.02_2 instead !!! I cannot seem to be able to find 2.15.50.14 anywhere, any ideas???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Some do that, flash it and check the RGD screen info.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] greekguy32:
But I did flash it, and the result is still 2.12...

Ah fair enough, then.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hopon:
I can't seem to flash a new radio to my phone.

I have a stock UK HD2. I installed HSPL 4, 2.08 on it.

I have downloaded 2 different radios to try, 2.15 and 2.14. The file names have been changed to RUU_Signed.nbh

I've run windows mobile device centre and established a connection. Then I run CustomRUU, go through the menu, it finds the file with the new radio version, I start the update and a progress bar appears on my computer and phone. However, the bar remains at 0% on both for a long time until the computer reports an error. The phone restarts normally after taking the battery out.

I tried renaming the radio file to leoimg.nbh and starting the bootloader on the phone. It gets to a grey screen with "loading" displayed but nothing else happened. After half an hour I removed the battery, again the phone restarts normally.

What am I missing? It seems the flash process isn't actually starting at all.

Thanks for any help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Phone into bootloader manually,

Connect USB,

Count to fifteen

Run flash (right click and run as admin EVEN IF YOU ARE LOGGED IN AS ADMIN)

Don't use front mounted USB, or hubs or extensions, use only rear mounted USB ports, and try them all.

forget about getting a wmdc connection, that's not what that instruction means.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hopon:
Thanks. I was using a front USB port that I'm a bit dubious about anyway. I switched to a rear port and it worked fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] weissgarnichts:
Hallo. I need your help.

After i installed successfully HSPL 2.08, i wanted to change the ROM to 2.15.50.14, but it does not work.

I did all like described above, but the ROM upgrade only takes about 2 minutes (not 10 at all) and after the reboot, there is only the white screen with green HTC-letters and nothing else happens.

:(

When i update CustomRUU, it does not show my actual ROM, so it seems there is no actual ROM. Can this be?

What can i do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Mate, 2.15.xx is not a Rom. It is a radio. That is why it only takes 2 minutes;)

You need to download the rom. Then you can flash it:)

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] weissgarnichts:
Great news that calm me down... thanks!

I tried to make a clean installation:

Step 1 worked, but how can i install the Radio ROM?

My aim is to install

"TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 with MAGLDR".

What kind of rom do i need next? The CyanogenMod-ROM?

Sorry for that stupid kind of questions...

EDIT: Ok, i got it...

I just followed the turther instructions and now android boots.

I just have to change the radio, because now it is the 2.08-Radio but i now know how it works.

"E" when there is no EDGE network

Having odd issue with both Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 & Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14

I live in southern England, on Vodafone and am told there is no EDGE network in the area at all. This is confirmed with previous devices and my partners Desire.

However my HD2 on both the above radios regularly shows E as the connection and never 3G. (Goes to HSDPA fine when there is a signal). There is good 3G connectivity in the area.

Could it just be a display issue, ie it's showing E when it should be showing 3G I'm not sure how to test this, anyone got any ideas?

BTW running NRG 29013 12th March Cookie 2.0 SenCity

and

[DISCONTINUED][RAM] darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 [kernel: Hastarin custom]

from sd card, both operating systems have the same issue
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stevedebi:
Well, on the WM device you can go into the phone screen, options, advanced, and set it to NOT use 3G. Then see if it connects. It is quite odd that you are getting E with no EDGE network.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
just spent a few mins on google, and the forums abound with stories of voda rushing to upgrade their network with edge, several posts of people getting edge in areas where they should only get GPRS, so i would imagine its ell towers getting upgrades without telling the support staff (who we all know are 6 months behind everything anyway)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kypeth:
why is that I am interested in odds and ends of the HD2, yet the provided link which so piqued my interest returns a" 403 Server Access Forbidden" message, incredibly disheartening, if I may say
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
hehe, thats because i was in teh process of changing hosting provider. It'l all be working again by tomorrow. (not that i've been keeping up with that odds and ends blog anyway, since i moved to android i'm all noob again, , , nothing interesting to add, lol, i'll be back on winmo soon, i suspect.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] John Charles:
Cheers guys, I've been in touch with Vodafone and they are indeed doing things to their towers. 3g & HSPDA are out at the moment and I think the phone shows E when it's transferring mobile data on GPRS
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] patensas:
Can someone share some light on the best radio for Vodafone NL?

Been trying different ones and they give me very different signal strenght and battery life. Kinda done with testing and wonder if other Vodafone NL users have found the best one for them.

Sir could you please be so kind to post new links for Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 rar because they have expired? Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] boxit:
I was having this issue also. Same ROM and same radios.

I have a Vodafone Sure Signal device at home and since upgrading the ROM it's only been showing Edge/GPRS with a low signal.

Solved the issue by going to the Wireless controls, clicking on Phone (change phone settings), scroll to the bottom, click on band, then change both the network type and band frequency to Auto. Now I no longer get the Edge logo popping up and have full signal in HSDPA mode.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] LaneyEFC:
restart your phone, then press the power button and keep hold and hold the volume down button same time into bootloader, if bootloader says USB at bottom your ready to go, run CustomRUU ...

Hello Everyone,

I just ordered an HTC HD2 (T-mobile version). I'm upgrading from my Touch Pro2. Before my phone arrives next week, I would like to ask anyone that lives in the Los Angeles, California area to give me an idea as to which radios to try out for the best performance. I'm looking for strong signal strength, good GPS locks and good to excellent WiFi performance. I'm not too concerned about battery usage as I will get an extended battery. I welcome any and all suggestions. Thanks!:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stevedebi:
I'm using the .2 version, which is recommended for my NRG ROM. Mine came with .15. I don't do a lot of WiFi, however. I would try the stock radio for a while.

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out if I have the best radio. I am dropping tons of calls at home and on the road, but in other areas of town no problems at all. I have listed my pertinent info below. I don't quite understand how to choose the right radio. I noticed that in the listing of radio downloads, there were these, for example:

Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14**: MultiUpload

and

Leo_RADIO_15.37.50.07U_2.10.50.08_2 (from KR_1.74.911.2): MegaUpload - 4Shared - RS (Mod edit - added 04/21/10 by Digital Outcast)

but my baseband, 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14, was not there. I guess I don't get this, and I wonder if it would help me to change the radio.

Thanks a lot!

- - -

Baseband version

15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14

Kernel version

2.6.32.15_tytung_r10-gbdfeaac

tytung@ubuntu #72

Mod version

CyanogenMod-7-06162011-NIGHTLY-Desire[TyphooN_v3.3.7-MAGLDR]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
I disagree, I find I get a weaker signal on the order of 2 to 3 bars with 2.15. 50 compared to 2.11.50, and 1-2 bars lower than 2.10.50

Calls sometimes going to voicemail but signal showing, a few times per week, which has never happened on 2.11.50,

Plus as you mentioned, power drains faster.

Moral? Radio is like rom, there is no definitive best, it's trial and compare that brings the best results.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thorner:
Hello,

I see similar things, I loose data traffic. When I am on 2G/3G I sometimes pick upp the phone and it says no connection where it normaly gives you the operator name. (on the lockscreen as an example) And ofcourse I cannot make a phonecall or get data traffic. My solution is to switch over to only 2G (GSM) and then it works. (Although data traffic is much slower)

The reason why I relied to your post is that I have the exact same ROM, have had this for a while, and several versions of it. And have seen this all the time. I also have the exact same radio as you have.

So I was thinking that It might be the rom and not the radio. But I have not heared or read about this in the rom thread.

So I am also interested in a new suggestion for a good radio.

EU radio to t-mobile US

Hi.

I just bought a t-mobile hd2 form the US and I was wondering if I could flash a EU radio to it in order to get HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz instead of 1700/2100 MHz, without bricking the device.

milogi
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stevedebi:
No, you will brick the device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
And even if you could flash it without bricking, it wouldn't change the bands. They are hardware set.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cabania:
I have tried this 3: 2.11.50.20; 2.11.50.26 and 2.12.50.14. The best signal I get with 2.11.50.20 (2 more lines and/or reaching 3G where the rest can't). Very impressive!

OVerheating with radio?

I have a HD2 with flashed 2.15.50.14. I previously had Radio: 2.10.50.2.

I have been very happy in general with this radio. I have using Elegancia ROM on winmo and SD AmeriCanAndroid. The issue is when I use the gps on either side it will work for 3-4 minutes before it restarts the winmo side or freezes the android side. I have to pull the battery and can tell the back is very hot. I am not sure if I should go back to a different radio to help with the overheating. I have noticed on the android side if I do alot what is heavy processing it will freeze up. Winmo side seems to run better. With the previous radio I could use the gps all day until the battery ran out. Is my hardware damaged or is the radio the issue. I have read about people that have overheating issue but I am not sure the mine is a hardware problem just yet. Thanks for your thoughts on the problem.

It works good :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ilovemeow:
is it good for battery consumption as well?

thx:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
It really depends on various variable, the ROM, signal,etc

But I think it is best combination of both performance and consumption.

My experience, 2.12.xx was very battery saver, but the performance was not as good as 2.15.xx

But, again, it was just my personal experience that might be different with others ;)

Poor 3G reception

Has anyone else noticed poor 3g reception in fringe areas? For example in an upstairs window on a HD I get 1 bar of 3g, HD2 nothing... Using radio 2.07.51.05_2 protocol 15.31.50.07u. Have checked UMTS and band selection and tried forcing HD2 to use the 3g bands. On T-Mobile UK.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] johho:
HEy man i mentioned exactly the same thing with the 2.07!! at first i thought it would be just imagination, but here @home i have no single spot with 3G reception anymore! i knoe that with the old (stock) radio i've got a few points in my home where i could recieve 3G..

now went back to 2.06 to test this..

Im using EPLUS in Germany.

anyone else with such problems?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] twerki78:
I've had the same issue with any of the ROMs I've tried. Started with the stock ROM that came on my phone 2.04.50_22_2. Current ROM seems on par with 2.04.50_22_2 in terms of 2G reception, 2.05.51.05_2 About the same 2G and the same here with no 3G. Currently 2.07 is reporting -77dbm of 2G I might roll back to 2.05.51.05_2 and try and compare if I get time. I should point out that we have a repeater installed in our house because we get very poor signal in our area, the nearest cell is 5 miles away but line of sight from the roof.

Not sure if you were asking me, but in case you were, Miri's roms are one of the best. Super fast and lite, as I use SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.3 as my UI, no HTC sense. However, Miri also has a sense version, just tweaked so it runs well.

I am only concerned at the moment with the battery drainage......I will keep an eye on this. If it goes to fast, I will revert back to 2.06.

Did you try to disable 3G? It´s often the reason for toggling between 2G and 3G, which is bad for the signal and the battery life as well.
