[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
for me, it's the VERY first time in 4 months of use that I have more than just 5% drain overnight, and I already testedradio 2.10 to be ok with my previous rom, and also this rom to be ok with radio 2.11 (Except signal I didn't like).

Too soon so see how it goes with 2.12, will be able to check drain overnight tomorrow morning ;)

Anyway since I've always did task29>radio flash>rom flash in the past and never had unusual drains whatsoever before, and now this is the first time that I flashed a radio over an existing rom and I am getting the problem, task 29 is what I'll do as last chance.

If radio 2.12 doesn't help, I'll try going back to 2.11 (the first radio I flashed together with this rom and that had no drain problems), if even resetting to the original situation doesn't solve, I'll try reflashing the whole system with task29>radio>rom and see how that goes.

You probably could make the same test, so to have some statistics :D

Can a radio version cause problems for Mail for Exchange?

Since I upgraded to Radio 2.12.50.02_2 I've got problems synching.

I do have a working Internet connection, so I don't get it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Jan
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
surely doesn't sound like something that a radio would cause. As long as it goes, it only affects "raw" connection, so if your internet/wifi works fine for something else, it sure is good enough for exhange as well.

But I do know that exchange servers sometime require special policies like for instance "virgin" devices, so if your phone has in some sort of way changed since the very first boot it will not be allowed to synch.

Maybe you perfectly know all of this, and maybe better than me, and in that case I have not been of any help, but if that's not the case, and radio 2.12 is the first radio upgrade you have done, then it could be like I just said, and if going back to your previous radio solves the problem, you could as well try to format the device with task 29, then flash radio and subsequently the rom, that way the new rom will "uptale" the 2.12 radio and exchange shouldn't complain.

Best Radio in US

Wondering if anyone has suggestions as to the best radio to be used on an EU HD2 (not t-mo US branded) running on T-mobile US network. I'm in Michigan and have used 2.07, 2.09, 2.10, and 2.12. Battery life with 2.12 is excellent but reception is not as good as 2.10.

Thanks...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] janpolet:
@ephestione,

Thanks!!

Didn't know about Task 29.

Trying to find info on it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
Interested about that. Using a 2.13 based rom I had 12% overnight drain with radio 2.10, while with 2.12 I had 15% the first night, but it's gone down to almost normal right now (Read: little more than 5%).

You say you have worse reception with 2.12, how would you describe it "worse" exactly? Signal meter, other party's voice, how other party hears your voice, or what?

And by the way, you didn't test radio 2.11 yet :D Even if in my case that one wasn't quite satisfactory signal wise

it's one of the stickies in the rom development forum, quick way to format your internal memory to tidy it up before flashing a new rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BlazinAsian:
I'm planning to flash a radio rom soon but my question is how did you get version 2.13? the latest version I see in the OP = 2.10 ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lurchy24:
By worse I mean the call quality in low signal areas. With 2.12, I have significant more broken conversations in areas where the signal had previously been strong (Edge). I also end up on G more often now. I'm going to try 2.11 and see how it works where I am.

Also, when using the FM Radio tuner, the reception is much worse. It's really too bad as the battery life has been excellent.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
I was referring to device rom, not radio rom... it's based on TMOUS 2.13 :D

The latest radio rom released is 2.12, and you can find it by searching this forum, alas the OP is not updated since weeks

battery seems decent with radio 2.12 on me too somehow (by decent I mean almost "normal" when compared to the disastrous results putting together rom 2.13 and radio 2.10).

Haven't had many opportunities to test quality against previous radios, but as far as signal meter goes, 2.12 looks fineto me, and myself, I never use the fm tuner :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BigB4400:
Help!!!

Sorry for the novel...

I just got my new HD2 TMOUS :). I wanted to unlock it so I first down graded from 3.13 to 2.08 and ran HSPL2. All with flying colors( or at least the phone said that it all worked fine). Now I tried to put a different ROM on it (TOUCH X-TREME) and it errors out on in the following way. I get my tri-color screen, then it goes to an HTC screen with a loading bar and never moves off of 0%:confused:. My PC (windows XP) and my laptop (windows7) both eventually time out and I get a recovery screen from the RUU_Costom program that I run. I pulled my Battery and the HD2 reboots into Windows Mobile 6.5, no further errors.:rolleyes:

I suspected that The radio version is wrong (2.08) because in TOUCH X-TREME's post he does not list 2.08 as compatible. I dont see any ROMS out there that list 2.08, so I decided to try to update the radio to 2.10 and then 2.09. Both resulted in the exact same error I got when I tried to change the ROM. I have also tried an Energy Rom, but it also ended with the same results. Am I just doing something incorrectly. I am definately a NOOB with my HD2, but I have had several HTC phones (MDA, Tilt2, & Rhodium) I have not had any problems unlocking and changing ROMS on those phones.

Any help would be appreciated.:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
when you ran hspl2, , , did you choose 2.08.hspl from the dropdown? (many people do) cos the default entry is 2.08.0000 which is stock spl.

Also, this is the regular hd2 rom dev section, you should go HERE and only get your roms from there.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] elracing21:
I'm a noob at this all but I like most of the stock roms out there. I want to flash the radios and I was wondering If anyone knows of any radios that work well around the NYC tri-state area or close by. I'm looking for something that has better then stock radio battery drainage and same or better reception then stock.

If this isn't the place to ask this A simple "this isn't the place" will do.

Just point me in the right direction. I will find a tut on how to do this myself.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BigB4400:
Help!!!...

Thanks. When I ran HSPL2 id did not give any options. It just said:

"To install this HSPL there must be any SPL version from this list on your device:

SPL 1.42.0000

SPL 1.62.0000

SPL 1.66.0000

SPL 2.07.0000

SPL 2.08.0000 "

I do have 2.08 on my device.

Thanks again.:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
someone else on TMOUS was pointing out how radio 2.12 was good on the battery for him, even if he didn't like very much the quality of signal.

Anyway, regarding my battery drainage problems after changing only the radio (had done task29>radio 2.11>custom rom base 2.13 in the beginning, had ~5% drain overnight like I always have had, but didn't like the signal, then changed radio to 2.10.50.5 and got 12% drain overnight, then radio 2.12 and got 16% first night, 5% second night, and 16% third night) I just now did again task 29, followed by radio 2.10.50.28_2 (the one suggested by the rom's chef) and again the same custom base 2.13 rom.

Let's see if my theory is right and you need a task29 to cancel the battery drain effect after upgrading the radio :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
you misunderstand me.

when you run hspl2 there is a dropdown box, with,

1.42.0000

1.42.hspl

1.66.0000

1.66.hspl

2.07.0000

2.07.hspl

2.08.0000

2.08.hspl

etc etc as options.

if you choose one that ends .0000 then it won't install hspl, because the ones that end 0000 are for reverting to stock.

instead choose one that ends .hspl

secondly, saying "i have 2.08 on my device" is like saying "i have Windows on my pc"..... ..... windows what??

is it xp?is it vista? windows 98?

cant tell witjout the extra info.

likewise, when you go into bootloader does it say

spl 2.08.0000

or

spl 2.08.hspl?

(notice they both start 2.08? but very different.

its the ending that tells whether , its stock or hspl)

EDIT just realised you have a tmous, so you1 shouldn't ne using hspl2. use either hspl1024 or better yet, hspl3
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
I just now learned there is such a hspl3, I've not been following the hspl thread for quite a while :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BigB4400:

Wow!:)samsamuel you are awesome! I Reran HSPL(now3) and selected 2.08.HSPL (I must have selected 2.08.0000 las time) and I am successfully flashinf a new ROM on my HD2!:cool:

did anybody notice any difference between different HSPL version installed? I have 1.42.HSPL and I have no issues. I was told there is no difference between the versions but I'm still curious if anybody can tell me something.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CaponiND:
There must be no difference, because HSPL just lets you flash custom ROM's, so if ROM you want to flash doesn't need any specific HSPL version (I didn't see such ROM's till now :-)) you can leave 1.42.HSPL
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Ymzee:
Hi,

The suggestion Edward came up with worked very well for me to. Ever since i got the HD2, i`ve been very disappointed with the batterylife.

Last night i flashed the radio rom to 2.09.51_03, and had a battery loss over night in just 1-1,5%. Not bad at all. I`ve experienced 30% loss in flight mode over night with stock radio...

So thank you all for all the good suggestions i`ve got.

[radio upgrade htc hd2] .exe to install?

Hello

I'm willing to upgrade my radio to the version 2.12

Available on another thread:

(http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705098&page=11)

The problem is the file is they give a .exe to install it, while here it says you need HSPL... is that normal?

Also can I do it with HSPL2 or I really need HPSL ?

Thanks,

Update:

Ok I did with the same method (LeoCustomRUU.exe on same folder than LEOIMG.nbh, where LEOIMG.nbh is the file for the radio 2.12).

I did with HSPL2 installed-

Can anyone shed any insight to what radio version is best/recommended?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chuck232:
The "best" radio is likely dependent on the carrier/environment, so you'll have to try a couple out and see which one works best for your situation.

In my case, I've tried 2.10.50, 2.11.50 and 2.12.50. (Can't remember the other fourth set of numbers in those radios). 2.11.50 was by far the worst, draining around 2% per hour in standby (2G, no wifi, no BT). 2.12.50 has been the best, draining less than 0.5% per hour in standby. That's what I currently use. Lets me easily get through a 9am-10pm day, with something like 40-50% to spare.

Identifying what radio rom is needed

I have run the hspl3 program and installed a new rom on two phones. one works good, but the other does not. the one that does not work right was bought off ebay fron a vender in Taiwan. It ha spl version 1.42 i think, hspl 1.42 was run and then i flashed the rom with miri rom it workedfor a while then locked up. would not boot, stuck on white htc screen. I was able to flash hspl3 and upgraded to spl-2.08.hspl and i flashed the rom with Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.2 S23568 B2.13 whitch works now, but if you work the volume while on the phone it will lock it up. I assume that the radio software is not compatible.

I am a novice at this and would appreciate ane help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
as long as you flash on both the same rom/radio couple there shouldn't be any difference in operating the two phones... also, using different versions of HSPL doesn't really change the way the phone works, the first time you probably just used a radio that didn't support 576MB with a TMOUS rom that requires *.50 radios

Is 2.10.50.28_2 significantly better than what I have? What does the _2 indicate in these different radio roms?

Also, one of my co-workers' radio will never get a 3g signal after a visit to Houston. (we're in Austin). Is this a known issue, and if so, what would be a good fix?

several custom roms require a US radio to work with 576MB of ram, and lot of users flashed those custom roms in europe, so yes, you can flash a US radio on a EU device :)

if you get 3g signal in your area with other phones (hence you already know there is a 3g coverage good enough for you) just try to flash other radio roms. None to suggest in particular, you should try them each to see which gives the best signal.

For instructions on that, read the "flashing for noobs" guide.

if you use a EU rom, you won't brick it with a US radio (with .50 suffix). It just won't enable the 576MB of ram.

So just try it, if something goes wrong you can open the bootloader and restore the previous radio with no problems.
