REMOVE TMOBILE BS from my HD

Hi all .. I'm at the point that I'm ready to flash a ROM on my HTC HD2, what I really want to just to get rid of all the TMobile USA BS on my phone, the transformers crap, Barnes & Nobles and Blockbuster apps ... Plus the stupid start-up screen.

Question - What ROM do I use for a simple HTC non-Tmobile brand ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Miller31:
mskip.... hardspl worked perfectly as you described. Thanks my friend!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] glawrung56:
Same error here , also same model and also double checked my rom is 1024

help would be much appreciated
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] glawrung56:
sorry for double post, meant to quote :) . anyhow i have same problem
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
If you mean sim locked then it doesnt matter if its locked to a network or unlocked when you install HardSPL.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Muki314:
Got it! Should I turn the phone off when installing the HardSPL?

EDIT: Getting a USB Connect fail error message, as well as the damn thing won't connect to WMDC.

Hello all,

I will be getting my T-Mobile HTC HD2 in a couple days and was wondering if I will able to add Arabic support. All I want to do is read/write in Arabic. After a simple Google search I came across this official HTC Arabic support update from htc.com: can't post the link.

Nowhere in the link does it say that it only works with a specific version (link is not region specific) plus you don't need to put the phone's serial number to download the update. So this makes me believe it should work on the T-Mobile version. However, some have reported that this does not work on the T-Mobile HTC HD2 phone. Does anybody know? If it does not work, does that mean I will have to flash the phone and install maybe an official middle east ROM?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I just got my phone and I'm about to flash it for the first time ...how do I know if I already have SPL versions on there like it says in the instructions? And if I don't have any, how do I get those versions?

So whats the Benefits

So whats the Benefits to flashing your HD2 with a cooked rom? I have done a few searches and really cant see the advantages will someone please let me know?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] htpw16:
I am a noob, but one simple advantage one might like would be, if for example you bought a T-Mobile HTC HD2, to remove the T-Mobile startup screen lol.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Boot to boot loader - power off, press hold and keep holding voldown, tap and release power, when phone shows three coloured stripes release voldown.

Read what it says next to spl. if it ends 0000 then that is the stock spl, if it ends hspl, , well, exactly.

most problems that you read about in these threads are caused by the stock roms. most chefs have isolated/removed/fixed the issues, plus speed and stability tweaks, plus some of them look gooorgeous.

except that a cooked rom doesnt usually include the splashcreen, you need to change that yourself, so the initial t mo bootscreen will still be there, , , , hehe. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] htpw16:
Noooooooo. :) Would an official ROM from HTC remove carrier splashscreens?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
One thing you can try is to disable your anti-virus program and then connect the HD2 to another USB port. When you do, select "Active Sync" from the phone as the connection type, and then make sure that Windows downloads and installs ALL the drivers that it needs before doing anything. Once it has downloaded and installed everything and it says your device is ready for use, then you can use WMDC to establish the connection.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
yea when you run an official it does the splash the radio and the rom. you can also make your own there are some nice ones about if you look. search for leo splashscreens. you flash them just like roms, takes a few seconds and doesn't need hard reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bgcfb:
Why I can't use this tool to flash my TMOUS HD2?

It showed the wrong message like this:

How Do I Know Which Version to Choose?

mskip,

Under Step 2 of your instructions, "2. FLASH HARDSPL (REQUIRED!! DO THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE)", step 5 includes this note: "NEW: YOU CAN NOW CHOOSE WHICH VERSION OF SPL OR HARDSPL YOU WANT TO FLASH TO YOUR PHONE!!"

Since I won't be able to ask this question once I start the flash process, how do I know what version I'm supposed to choose? I will be flashing a T-Mobile US HD2 with 1024 MB of memory.

Thanks.

Error message

I am a serious noob! This is also my first post. I am new to the windows mobile phone, but I feel as if I have done extensive research. I have downloaded the HSPL on my phone. I have downloaded the custom rom and the customruu. I am trying to install the rom by active sync to my HTC HD2 and I keep getting the error message "update utility can not open the requested file." I have tried installing an different customruu and changing the port. What am I doing wrong?

I was looking a you tube video and the guy saved both files on the desktop. I don't know if that makes a difference. I have been struggling with this forever! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Just be sure that the only two files in whatever folder you choose to run from are customruu.exe and the ruu_signed.nbh

You may also find that some antivirus programs block access to customruu.exe.

Oh and dont forget to right click and choose 'run as administrator', , , , yes, even if you are already logged in as administrator. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] napoleontheruler:
sorry if this is the wrong place

i have been trying to install netcfv3.5 and it says that a newer versoin is installed. torun games and certain apps such as zenonia and bsb tweaks i need to install that framework. if i uninstall the framework i have installed will all my programs run correctly and second how do i unistall it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] torremitsu:
Im glad this thread is for noobs, now im going to ask the question. I've just finished HSPL'ing my phone. Now im trying to select a rom, but all I see are TMOUS Compatible roms. Is that the same as saying 1024leo?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KoseKid:
Here comes the hate mail... I'm a mac user...

Okay so I've tried downloading the kumar rom for my HD2 and ran into a snafu.... my computer doesn't recognize the file needs to be unziped/unrar'ed, and there is no active sync for my compy.... any suggestions... other than the crappiest of crappys markspace...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Most roms will have 3.5 cooked in and if its not letting you uninstall a newer version its probably easier just to find a rom that has the version you need cooked in already.

What rom are you using now?

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
All the roms in this forum (GSM USA 1024LEO) are compatable with the 1024LEO device. The roms say TMOUS (TMOBILE US) because they are the only suppliers of the 1024. If it says TMOUS compatable then it will work fine. Just make absolutely sure that it does say its compatable and that the rom you download is the same as the one you chose.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
You might be able to google a program thst will extract the contents of a windows zip/rar file. If not then you will need to download the rom on a windows pc and extract the nbh to your microsd card. You can then flash via the bootloader without needing activesync but you still need to HardSPL your device first before you can flash cooked roms.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] napoleontheruler:
im running laurinitis latest rom. can u give me a link to a stable fast rom that has the framework i need. i use my phone for mostly gaming and would love to play zenonia. please help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tdsanchez:
No problems doing this thanks to your guidance :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stilts:
I have a possible solution, but I don't know if my problem is the same as your problem. I had a USB connection error.

Go to the bootloader by turning off your phone and turning it back on while holding down the bottom volume button. Plug your USB cable into your phone and once it is recognized by your computer, run HSPL2 from a folder that has nothing else in it. Select the SPL you want to install and there you go.

Like I said, this is how I got it to work, my problem might not be the same as yours so don't blame me if anything should happen to your phone. Good luck!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tylawtheboss:
Any luck for a MAC user?

I want to flash a new ROM but I am a MAC user (with an HD2 and Windows Mobile? I know right lol!) Is there anything that I can do to get the HSPL2 on my device and flash a new ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] greekjim:
does the HD2 2105008 2 radio work on teh 1024 leo?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
this comes up fairly often, and though I don't useone, I think I can safely say hspl is tough to do with a mac, but you can flash using boot camp to load xp.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dream_kazt:
so if i flashed a rom on my hd2 and wanted the original rom back on my phone for warranty issues i just need hspl 1024 or do i need to find original rom too? ( got my hd2 tmous1024 few weeks ago trying to figure out if i want to do this or not)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrsh0llywo0d:
usb connection error

Not sure if someone already said this but right clicking and choosing 'Run as administrator" makes a world of difference. Before I did, it kept displaying a 'USB Connection Error".

I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium x64 (64-Bit Operating System).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
yes it does, and the usb port you use comes a close second.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Conaway:
simply asia is the best rom by far up to date only thing i have to pic about it is that with all roms i have used if you get over 100 text messages from a single person it will lag and freeze up someone please create something that can fix this freeze issue with the hardware
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
The only fix I'm aware of is to disable and not use the HTC/Sense Messaging app. Other than that, do you really need to keep 100 text messages from one person?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] s3ntin3l006:
Just wanted to check with you guys before i flash the kumar rom. i restarted my tmo hd2 and pressed the down volume, currently says im running:

PB81120 SS-B3

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x40

am i safe to run the new roms? really dont want to brick my new phone. Also, i did this flash before i unlocked the phone and did the 1234 master reset on it after. does this effect the flash? can i dl roms now or do i have to do the hspl again?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sick Nasty:
Do I follow the thread on flashing HardSPL or can I just start at

Of course after I confirm I have a T-Mobile USA HD2 with 1024 Mbytes ROM. In that link the DL is for HSPL2_1024_RUN.zip. But the line 2. FLASH HARDSPL (REQUIRED!! DO THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE) throws me off.

R they different?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
there are three versions of hspl, , , there's HSPL, HSPL2 and HSPL2_1024 (or hspl1024 for short).

Yes you need to flash one of them, it is indeed required, and yes you need the HSPL2_1024 one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] superwy165:
when i runing HSPL2_1024_RUN.exe, my phone change to tri color screen and the connection was stopped. what's the problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
try different usb slots. especially stay away from case mounted slots and hubs.

also don't forget to right click and "run as administrator"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] suavemezie:
Please hoe do i re-install my former rom for t-mobile htc ht2, i am returning the phone for a new one, but i ve already installed the SPL 2.08.0000 SPL 2.08.HSPL on it. Please assist me. Suave
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
flash stock rom over usb, just like any other rom, then run hspl1024 and choose 2.08.0000

done

when i try to flash new rom my phone auto disconnects with pc via active sync. how do i keep it connected?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
its supposed to disconnect. it should disconnect, reboot itself into bootloader and the word 'serial' should change to 'usb'

HardSPL

I am running a TMo 1024 ROM phone. I am trying to get the HardSPL on it and it will not take. I can get to the screen with multiple colors and it just hangs there. Left it on all night last night to see if it just tooka while and nothing ever changed. Followed the steps exactly. Have not figured out how to "run as administrator". I am the computers administrator and do not know the password or how to get the password for the "administrator" account.

Suggestions as to where I have gone. I have connected via ActiveSync on XP.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] millerliteguy:
If I reinstall the stock TMOUS ROM on my HD2 is it necessary to run hspl1024 and choose 2.08.0000.

I'm not returning the phone or anything, I just want to flash back to the original ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
It's not necessary...but if you do return it, then yes switch back to 2.08.0000
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
instead of double clicking the hspl.exe to run it, right click it and choose "run as administrator"

and dont use a usb hub or port in front of the pc, use one around the back. rom flashing works on all ports, but hspl is picky.
[G1 General] brummiesteven:
Just wanted to say bye, and thanks, to everyone in the G1 Forum.

I've now sold my G1 and got a desire (which is awesome and dare I say it 10x better than the G1).

Thanks to everyone who has given me support, SuperD, Cyanogen and anyone else's rom I've used.
[G1 General] Ace42:
I'm waiting for a US release so I can use 3G or maybe even 4G. Hope you have fun with your desire. :)
[G1 General] Klyentel:
but isn't it a GSM phone? capable of international use and unlock purchase? If so, you shouldn't have any problem getting 3g with your service provider.
[G1 General] Ace42:
Oh your right but I still want the Dell Mini 5 too.
[G1 General] protomanez:
._. any android phone is better then the g1. It's outdated, but I still love it :D

I hope T-Mobile USA get some awesome HTC SENSE android love. All we got is the g1, the mytouch line, and those $h!tty motoblur devices.
[G1 General] coolbho3000:
USA 3G bands are "special." With the Desire you can't get 3G with either AT&T or T-Mobile. ;)
[G1 General] brummiesteven:
Just to let you guys know, apparently it's coming out in Australia on some network that uses the same 3G Bands as the USA.
[G1 General] Klyentel:
Oh ok, thanks for the info, I wasn't sure:)
[G1 General] NickPDX:
Out of curiosity, how much did you get for your G1? Sell it on ebay?
[G1 General] brummiesteven:
£130 on ebay, pretty decent as I didn't sell the SD Card with it.

I had intended to sell the 16gb SD Card, Phone (Boxed) and Motorola s9 wireless earphones.

The buyer wanted me to end the auction early and offered £130 for the phone only, guess I got lucky.
[G1 General] Mountainjew:
Same here, i got my Desire on Saturday and couldn't be happier with it! :D

Though i'm a sucker and gave my G1 to my dad, keep it in the family and all :P

Gonna sell my Hero though, i saw they still fetch around £180 on ebay...

Hi all

I have a bluetooth kar kit from Kufatec that, on some phones at least, is able to read SMS from the phone and display through its own interface in the car.

This works with my Nokia phone but not with my HTC Topaz. I guess it is missing a particular profile, but I have no idea which one. Any ideas?

Go to

frenchkiss fm

using internet explorer and click on the winamp symbol (its the icon which looks like a yellow lightening bolt, just before the iphone icon on the right of the page) now as long as you have coreplayer, you can listen to some bangin tuneage, been a massive fan for years. May work with other players you have on the Leo, but only have core will try other sites, will try to provide a core link dedicated to it if i can

Try

shoutcast radio

as well for more choice, and once clicked a radio station choose to use own media player. dont know what usage of your data service plan this wiil use up, so use wisely and will try to find out, could be minimal or excessive so be WARNED
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
do you mean frenchkissfm.com ? the frenchkiss.fm url doesn't work.

Yeah sorry ignore the . between frenchkissfm, and now found out kinoma freeplay gives you access to the shoutcast radio stations, as far as i can tell all of them, sweet

Just get this from market place. It's quality, and has loads of good house/trance stations. ibiza global radio is my personal favourite.

Guys

I see there's kind of couple minor/major issues with the phone so my question is very general, are you happy with the phone or you would have rather wait for the official release if you could?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brummiesteven:
Minor issues:

- Market

Umm that would be it IMO. Doesn't bother me, I can download APK's online and use ADB.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I would be interested in the answers to this too. Stuff like speech-to-text which MAY be included in the unlocked/unbranded version - I would certainly rather have that from the get-go, than have to root my phone to have it.

Having said that, I know I will probably root it anyway when some genius works out how to do it, but it would be nice if I had the CHOICE not to :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cez10:
yeah same here, though i dont really wanna brick a phone worth £300-400 ;)

ok, so apart from that your a 100% satisfied user then?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irkan:
I read somewhere here (in the forum) that SENSE UI has crashed twice (with that guy since he purchased it)

is the sense UI stable even with lots of widgets running? or there is a little bit of un-stable-ness/lag when alot of widgets are active?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbypants:
NO problems with this phone at all for me, the text to speech is over rated i have it on the Milestone and it doesn't always get it right and is slow.

I might see if i can put the apk file on this and see if it works will let you know.
