Right, thanks.:)

I forgot about the brick that happened to someone who flashed 2.05.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jkiller122:
thanks for the help,what radio do you guys suggest as the most stable. i want radios higher than 2.10.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sumflipnol:
Radio performance depends [a lot] on location. Because of this, the 2.08 might be better for you, or the 2.11 might be better. In my location, 2.12 (the one in my sig) performed the best out of the radios I tried.

My final answer: Keep trying them.:p

The 'best radio' for you would be the one with best signal strength and battery life.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bing1221:
2.12 super good, best for battery performance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] elmanortega:
is there a way to unbrick an hd2 with a .51. radio?

is there any body taht can help me send this hd2 back to t mobile to be replace or help unbrick my hd2 i bricked it with .51. radio dont ask me why or how.

after flashing many htc pure and taking no risks i some how downloaded the wrong radio. and now i need to do something about it i dont want to trow it to the garbage can yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sumflipnol:
If you can put your HD2 into bootloader (tri-color screen), you can flash a .50 radio from there.

Bootloader: While the phone is off, hold Vol Down, press Power.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
you would be the first, if you managed it. Send it back, play dumb, dont mention flashign, they cant get into bootloader so they cant tell you had hspl installed. Lots have done it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alesaso:
Same thing here after yeaeres of flashing ROMs and radios since my Tilt days then Fuze then Tilt2...

I downloaded the wrong radio and after flashing the phone went dead...

The computer is asking me to install the drivers for the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM and that's it...

.:Ale:.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sumflipnol:
You flashed your Tilt2 with a CDMA TP2 radio?:confused: That would definitely brick the device.

However, the difference with the HD2 is that there's no CDMA variant. Many people have "bricked" their HD2s by flashing radios with ".51" in the name, but they've usually been able to revive their phones by flashing a ".50" (2.06.50.xx and above) radio.

Oh, and how'd you get to the HD2 section?:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alesaso:
I flashed a TMo US HD2, I SIM unlocked it to use on AT&T network but the reception was as ****ty as it can be, it would connect and disconnect constantly and would only have signal outdoors. I was trying different radios to see if it would fix it and the bricking occurred on the sixth radio I tried. Dowloaded a .51 by mistake, I was looking at the .50 but clicked on the .51, as I said I've been on the flashing addiction for some time now. It was just a f#*kup on my part...

The Tilt2 is my everyday device and I love it. I just wanted to experience the Snapdragon speed before putting the phone up for sale...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Eroc162:
Hey guys Im in New Jersey. Any chance someone around the area has tested some diffrent radio versions that is better then my stock version 2.08.50.08_2.

My reception could be better but battery life sucks.

Las Vegas Radio option

So after trying everything....I finally have found a radio that works well, pretty much everywhere....the house reception is still a bit scitzo but overall...great improvement. 2.10.50.26 with Cell Series Rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dmgov:
Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.28_2 right now at about 22hrs at 53% battery.

checking 3 email accounts(updating every 1 hr) , facebook updating(that set to manuall) , texting, twitter updating (every 1 hour) and at lunch playing slacker radio for an hour.

so far so good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ruwan7:
Hi I just flashed the 2.05.50.11 radio and got the phone BRICKED! So please mention this in the original post so that people will be aware that not all the .50 radios are compatible.

thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] voncrane:
Thanks for the heads up and i hope you can somehow revive ur device..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jzibit17:
On the first post the lowest radio they have listed is Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2 and i had read somewhere no to flash anything lower than 2.07. Maybe a note not to go lower on this post might help some people who dont read before flashing... best bet to go with 2.08. sorry to hear about the brick...

Hi i have tried 2.12.50.02 and it has great battery life and about 90k download on 4 bars H, and also 2.10.50.08 about 1mb download. but somthing changed in the last couple days or so, i use my phone for my internet on my computer and it has worked fairly good, but latley its been more slow and when i do a speed test @ speedtest.net it will auto choose a server closest to your location for the test... im in IDAHO and it used to choose SEATTLE for the test and it had about 120 ping and i could play online games just fine but now it thinks that i am in TEXAS and it is terrible now and is intollerable for online games. Why did it change? does anyone know? do i need to manually change something in my REG on my phone to make it back closer to home?

Thanks for the help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nomadwgk:
i just flashed 2.12.50.02.2 and it drained 30% of my battery in about 40 min. 3g speeds went down form around1.6mb/s to 0.5mb/s. i guess i need to find a better one.

I live in chicago, if anyone have good radio for this area please let me know.

trying 2.11.50.20 now, ill post results in a few

battery life seemed to be a little better but 3g speeds were bad, i flashed 2.10.50.26 and so far so good, 3g speeds went up to nearly 2 mb/s.

Im tesing it with android speed test app since or some reason i cant share my internet with my comp.

Radio Performance and Location

Please when posting your impression of a radio it is more valuable when you also indicate your location. As we all know radio performance varies from location to location. There is a field in your profile settings for this which will help with a consistent and easily recognizable placement of this info.

Has anyone tried any radios in the Austin Texas area? I have seen a post for San Antonio... but I don't know if those results can be a safe assumption. I currently have Josh's 1.79 stable ROM for my TMO USA HD2 with stock 2.08 radio.

I leave in NYC area. I tseems like T-mobile doing some network infrastructure upgrade. In the past couple of weeks service disaapeared several times what so ever when phone was set to use 3G. I tested on HD2 with 2.12.50.02_2 radio and Touch Pro 2 - same result.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] WaveyKat:
am in NYC i and using 2.12.50.02.2 batter life is really goood on Energy rom. mines changes from H to E some times according to the AREA am in. i have Network Type set to Auto and Band Frequency stet to GSM (1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I should have mentioned that I use Energy ROM (usually the latest version) and have not had any dropped calls since using Leo_Radio_2.12.50.02_2. Data reception has been great also. Good battery life. Best radio for me yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dornstar:
I was in the same boat with 2.12.50.02_2 here in Tampa. Averaged 0-1 bars, but the battery life was amazing.

Just went to 2.11.50.26.7 and I'm getting 2-4 bars. Haven't been using it long enough to say how battery life is yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kwill:
I've tried a few. Most recently Radio_2_12_50_02_2 and it seemed to drain battery a little fast. Did a lot of band switching too. Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.26 seemed decent as for battery, signal and data speed. Probably one of the more consistent radios in all departments. Trying Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.28_2 now and will let you know how that goes. Let me know what you find.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jdmdany:
hi all, im having HUGE trouble, i have a hspl 2.08. and every single radio i use is giving me the robotic voice. its the desire 2.2 build but all i get is robot voice. it stopped doing it once for about 5 seconds and then went back to it. im out of ideas
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jdmdany:
ok and i think i messed up big time now. went to try 2.07.51.22.2 and phone wont turn on. my computer detects it as qualcomm cdma technologies msm. is this bricked?!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] squish099:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jdmdany:
fuuuuu..... i just got today through a letstalk.com. is there anyway i can just say i updated something and it never turned on and just return it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gaarry:
You could try sending it in and seeing if they will give you a new one, but it's hit and miss if they find out you bricked it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jdmdany:
is there a way they would find out? it doesnt turn on or anything. and its not like im sending it to htc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:

And If so Could someone give me a link saying exactly how to do it. TY very much for your time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kwill:
Change your rom. There a few around that advertise (Android Friendly). It has to do with some of the dll's that are cooked in.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Yes, changing radio has teh same requirements as changing rom.

get hspl3 (see my sig)

connect phone to PC

right click hspl3.exe - choose run as administratior

change the dropdown to 2.08.hspl

when complete

download teh radio you want

extract from teh zip/rar if it comes zipped, some dont.

put the .nbh file in a folder with customruu.exe

with phone again connected

run cuctomruu

Heres something weird I found that happen... I first had 2.10.50.26 and I flashed 2.12.50.02 and then I switch back to 2.10.50.26 using the sd card method, forgetting to hard reset after the flash. For some reason 2.10 and 2.12 got jumbled..

a reminder:

-2.10.50.26 Best reception for me and really bad battery life

-2.12.50.02 Not as stable but the best battery life

And I got 2.10.50.26 signal strength but with 2.12.50.02 battery performance ... Anyone else got this to happen to them ???

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ZetaiZetsubou:
Radio 2.11.50.20

This radio seems to be working the best so far for me.

notes:

from 12AM-7AM on sleep drops from 100% to 96%

7AM-10PM ~20% Moderate usage

2 hours of web browsing on 3g

30 text messages

5 short phone calls

20 minutes of gps usage

a few pictures taken with camera and browsing through some pictures

There was no email account... but that was fairly negligible anyways, with it on, i get similar battery life.

I'm still not quite getting the battery usage that I see some people reporting for this device. I think i'm gonna try radio 2.07.50** next.

Today, woke up around 11:30 ~ 93%

~1 hour of listening to music

20 or so text

web browsing for about an hour

now 7 PM and have 59% battery

same 2.11.50.20 radio

my location is the minneapolis west metro area.

I've tried radios:

2.10.50.26 Energy Aug[28] Wasn't as good as I expected to be, It seems to work very well for some people. I get normal reception (same as my iphone) roughly 10 hours of battery with push email.

2.12.50.02_2 Energy Aug[24] Wasn't as good as I expected to be, It seems to work very well for some people. I get good reception (may have some signal when my iphone doesn't) ~10 hours of battery life, on and off usage with push email

2.08.50.05 Used this on my stock t-mobile rom, I don't remember what rom it was because the first thing i did when i got my hd2 was flash a new rom to energy July2x Which did not get very good battery life with this radio. Reception was average.

Battery life for these seemed very similar, I may revisit them as I have flashed a new rom recently [Energy cookie Aug28]

Rom: EnergyRom w/Cookie (latest version)

Mattc Leo+Froyo w/Sense 1.7 RMT ??

I would like to try another radio to see if I can get better battery life. I don't want to leave my phone on the charger while I'm at work. Currently my phone has been off the charger for approx. 3 hours and I've used about 30% of my battery this morning. I commute to downtown Chicago. This morning I was on the XDA site, listening to music for about an hour; other than that the phone has been in standby. I have email being pushed from GMail and Aol.

Will I loose anything by flashing to a new radio?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Ryan79:
No, flashing a new radio doesn't affect your other settings/files

Installing:

For installing a RADIO ROM you need HardSPL installed to your device.

Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU: it won't hardreset your device.

FAQ:

*-What is the .7z extension? How can I decompress it?

* The .7z extension is a 7-Zip compressed file. You can decompress it with the latest version of almost every (de)compression software. Anyway, the best for decompressing 7z files is 7-Zip (Freeware).

*-What is a Radio ROM?

* The Radio ROM is the software part of your device that is powering on/off and controlling your radio interfaces. This includes Bluetooth, 2G/3G Phone, WiFi, GPS..... And it also includes the OEMSBL (Radio BootLoader) and other device specific firmwares needed for using your radio interfaces and for interfacing them with the OS (Windows Mobile/Android).

*-What is rilphone.dll?

* rilphone.dll is a Windows Mobile "driver" that tells to your OS what are the commands suitable for your Radio ROM. When a new Radio ROM is released, sometimes a new rilphone.dll will come with it because a new radio may contain a new command for a different scope (battery optimization, best signal calibration, etc..)

*-How can I install a new rilphone.dll to my already installed ROM?

* You can make a CAB or use Resco Explorer... However, it has to be put in \Windows\ directory (and, of course, you need to reboot after the installation!)

*-Why change rilphone.dll?

* Replacing your rilphone.dll is a dangerous task and it should be done only if you experience real problems with your current one. Remember that rilphone is an essential library for your phone to work correctly, so.. you can break the phone part of your ROM or make it to work correctly with your current radio (but in any case this can't break your device's hardware). In short, replace it only if you know what are you doing!!

So I flashed radio 2.10.50.08 to my TMOUS HD2 USA 1024. Now I need to do some rom testing tomorrow for a developer will I be able to run 2.11 builds okay with this radio. I would assume so but I wanted to double check on this one.

Shokouhi
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
yup this is exactly what i am doing with my rom :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
So they are compatible 2.10.xx radio and 2.11 rom builds, meaning that is your current setup? The TMOUS Leo has made things diffucult. I miss the days of flashing without thinking about it. Those were the Rhodium days.

I flashed to the 2.10.50.19​_2 radio tonight. It's safe for the T-Mobile USA HD2.

It will take some time for me to determine how good this radio is, but it seems to be the latest compatible radio.

I'm using EnergyROM with it, already had EnergyROM running.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alleyezondisromo:
can i flash the radio using my micro sd card ? i remember being able to do this on my hermes a while ago, i have a mac so activesync is a prob for me :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
be very careful with doing it this way but if you are sure the rom is valid then you may put it on your SD Card and call it LEOIMG.nbh. When you reboot into bootloader it will pick it up and flash it.

You will notice it will list what is in it, with radio you will see RADIO_V2 and if it works there will be an OK following.

From what i have seen you will also see the OS item, don;t be too fussed as i have seen this on radio roms.

make sure your not loading a stock rom, this sill incluse SPL and will replace hardspl.

Good luck.
