First i apologize for creating another new thread and disturbing you guys. But i took mytime going through the website and the tutorials, and it made me more confused.

Quick info got HTC HD2 from craigslist today and thinking for a possible solution to unlock the device..here people talks about various ROM's , i think installing any of one these wont unlock the phone. Can you please suggest me how to unlock the mobile by pointing to a thread or tutorial.

my htc details

OS version 5.2.21892

manila version 2.5.20121412.2

ROM version 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE

Radiio version 2.10.50.26

protocol version 15.39.50.07u.

the threads talks about various ROM and HSLP and all..but i am completely lost what is what.

Thanks,

WY.

going to sleep my next reply will take time.

[HD2 General] whatyaar:
so flashing means unlocking...and i dont have a sd card with still i can do it right.
[HD2 General] voncrane:
A Rom is basically an operating system for your phone. A Custom/Cooked Rom is a Stock/Shipped Rom that has been stripped of clutter and tweaked to give the best performance. Custom Roms usually contain the latest updates and programs so are more stable and up to date and work better than stock roms that are supplied with your phone.

In my understanding, think of flashing as giving your phone more freedom and you only need to flash HARDSPL your device only "ONCE" to take advantage of the features that custom ROMs offer. You can hardspl ur device easily via usb cable (without a memory card), so read the post in d link above thoroughly n ask feel free 2 ask more questions.
[HD2 General] ttownfeen:
The HPSL is what, for lack of a better term, "jailbreaks" the HD2. The ROMs are the operating systems of the phones. Radios are also an important thing, and they have something to do with how your phone interacts with the network.

Now, I'm a n00b myself, so anybody please feel free to correct any errors I made.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I want to make sure you're not getting confused on something here...

Are you trying to get your phone to the point where you can run non-official ROM's on it? That's what using HSPL and flashing is.

Or, are you trying to be able to use the phone with other carriers than T-Mobile? That requires unlocking (completely independent of HSPL/flashing), and that's not something that's there's a tutorial for you to do...you either need to call T-Mobile and tell them you need the unlock code, or if you aren't a T-Mobile customer you will need to use one of the various unlocking services you'll find on e-bay, etc.
[HD2 General] whatyaar:
thanks a lot you answered mypoint correctly. i tried to flash the rom from the above link and then installed Cleanex ultra series.

..dint liked it and want to get my previous settings. i selected clear data..butits not doing any thing...can anyone help.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
The step you're trying there (clear data) is also known as a "hard-reset"...it wipes the data off your phone and returns it to the orginial state of whatever ROM you currently have flashed on it (in your case: Cleanex)....so to get it back the way it was when you bought it, you'll need to flash a stock T-Mobile ROM back on to it.
[HD2 General] whatyaar:
can you guide me how to do it. so will there be .exe that can be downloaded from tmobile and connect my mobile and execute it..
[HD2 General] whatyaar:
some body please help me to find the Original tmobile USA rom.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yes, that's pretty much exactly how it works. You can find the official download for it at this link:

http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobileUS/Filedownload.aspx?pid=leo

You'll have to enter your phone's IMEI number (located on a sticker beneath the battery) to verify that you have an HD2, and then it will let you download. It's pretty simple to do, but here's a set of detailed instructions if you need (which include the step of downloading from that link above):

thank you very much Mr.sirphunkee ...you saved my day.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
No problem...that's what we're here for ;)
[HD2 General] ketzazu:
I read in the forum that the ROMs don't unlock your phone. They are just customizations for whatever the purpose may be. I use MIRI v17.6 ROM so that I can run Android on my HD2 US. I'm only missing Microsoft Word Mobile. My HTC HD2 US is unlocked because I paid cash for it and I requested the unlock code from T-Mobile unlike my iPhone 3GS that is still locked even though I owed no money on it.

I have not read anything about unlocking (rooting in this forum?) your HD2 (I assume) in this forum. Remember, Google has the answer for virtually everything if you ask her.

I hope you slept well!
[HD2 General] ketzazu:
Also, if i may add, the HPSL3 is some kind of protection not to damage your phone in case you use the wrong ROM, I read. therefore, for the HD2 US, I watched on youtube how to install the HSPL3. Then I picked a ROM that suits my purpose and I flashed my HD2 (on youtube also). That's it. I did not have to bother installing a radio file because my ROM did not require it since I have the US hd2.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Ketzazu, did you read any of the posts in this thread after the 1st one...? :rolleyes:

There's an app on the market called led light(or something like that) that gives you the sense looking widgets. Only thing is that the app graphic looks like crap. So I went in and changed the graphic to the HTC one lol.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chjade84:
FWIW I used to use LED Light until it's graphic conflicted with my new theme. Now I use 'Extended Controls' (~$1) that is a pretty damn customizable power control widget (wifi/3G/etc) that also has a button to make the LED light up.

It may not be worth the money for just the light, but since you can customize your power control widget to any size and any number of controls + unobtrusive LED light, I'd say it's worth it.

Sigh... I can't even link a pic of it because I'm still a noob. :(

EDIT: I actually don't know if it will work on 2.1 either - I don't see a minimum version requirement. Also, I thought I'd list it's 'controls' - MANY more than stock lets you play with. (Another reason it's worth the $1)

Yay! I had ordered a black one off ebay and it's finally here. I like the look and feel if it but I must admit it's a little loose on the sides and it makes the power/lock button more difficult to press. But it offers more protection than the mesh case I have. It's also pretty thin. Tuner than the tmo gel skin...

Think I might stick with the mesh for now. I'm not disappointed tho...heck for the 4.50 I paid lol

The pictures do it no justice. I have the black one and the smoked one and they both look great. Although to me anything looks better than the chrome trim around the front of the phone.
[Vibrant Accessories] Fat Tires:
I have this case as well. I got it from an Amazon seller. It's shiny, collects fingerprints, and it protects my phone while not collecting pocket lint. It was also cheaper than the T-Mobile case. I'll stick with it until something better comes along.

Hey, I just got my phone a few days ago, its

X10I

1.6 firmware

1.1.25 baseband

2.6.29-rel kernel

the build number is R2BA020

every time I search for an update it says my phone is up to date (but we are on 026 while I'm still on 020, can someone tell me why? I live in USA, but I know my phone is imported from Singapore.

a lot of people are at least 2 updates ahead of me, can someone tell me why the update wont work here? I think the phone is released here if you check the SE website.
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
I think different countries get upgrades at different times. The people with R2BA026 manually upgraded it.

Option 4

"FULL UPDATE FROM ANY ROM ANY VERSION - ROOTED R2BA024 - with new keys

Should update any version to R2BA024 which you can then upgrade to R2BA026 via

UPDATE FROM ROOTED R2BA024 TO ROOTED R2BA026 X10i ONLY

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] UnholyGod:
I've been using the phone for about half a year without 3G or HSDPA because I was out of coverage area

recently they launched 3G in my area and it could be picked up in my old TouchCruise but not on TouchDiamond2

I tried swapping the SIM Card but still got same results, it worked on the old phone but not on this one.

I was wondering if there is anything I could do to get the 3G to work as I want to make vdo calls

Thanks,

Chan.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mttca:
I have had the same problem since beginning and have it resolved last moth.

Basically it should be radio firmware issue. I've tried flashing all ROM available in the Radio ROM thread, but didn't help. Lastly I reflashed my TD2 with the latest stock ROM for my area (Asia) downloaded directly from HTC website. To my supprise - although Radio version was same as my previous one (got from Radio only thread) - 3G started working!!!

Now I reflashed the phone using OS only modded ROM but 3G still OK.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] UnholyGod:
ok so I have to flash the original ROM (stock rom from the htc site)

to get the 3G to work

but I dont really like the stock roms (especially not the Thai one)

would I be able to flash something else on top of it later?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mttca:
Sure you can, like I did.

If your phone is un-locked with HSPL - you cannot flash the stock ROM as per HTC guideline. You need to extract the downloaded one to get the ROM .nbh file and use it for flashing like with other customized ROM. Then later you can update you phone with any customized ROM with no Radio part inside.

Yeah I did simpleroot, which should have unlocked nand. How do I do a adb pull?

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Get root explorer, I like it better than astro any day. I guarantee it can delete that file if your NAND is truly unlocked.

Simpleroot does not NAND unlock AFAIK, you need to do toasts part 2 to unlock nand.

Read joeykrim's [TUTORIAL/HOW TO] Basics of ADB
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
By "adb pull" he means using ADB.exe from the Android SDK to copy the .apk file from your phone to your computer. It's useful, but I bet you'll consider it overkill for something like this if you don't already know about it.

I have no idea how to use Astro to do this, so I recommend getting Root Explorer. It's a hugely useful file explorer and you can delete this file very easily with it. There's a little button that says Mount R/W that will let you delete any system file easily.

If you don't want to pay for it, I recommend getting the SDK and using ADB.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
It does unlock NAND, the second button just says "Unlock Nand"

I'd imagine the OTA version of SimpleRoot would unlock NAND as well, but I don't know about that. I've always just used ADB for this stuff, and I'm glad I did. I use it pretty frequently now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryohei47:
yeah, even root explorer doesnt work, root explorer said file is read only. but im 99% sure i clicked the unlock nand button on Simpleroot OTA version
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
When you are in root explorer, look at the top of screen and youll see a button either with R/o or R/W. If it's R/O thats read only and it won't let u delete the file. Tap the button and it will change to R/W and allow delete.

I stand corrected.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mantralord:
Big problem here, though I don't think it's hopeless...

I flashed my Kaiser with HardSPL 3.34, then unlocked the SIM, and then properly set up an Android system on it.

Anyway, then I decided I wanted to go back to WinMo, so I found a stock ROM, and tried to flash it back with the KAISimg.nbh method by rebooting and holding down power+camera.

However, that image apparently contained an SPL image, and so I inadvertently flashed my phone back with a normal SPL (and unsuccessfully flashed the WinMo image). Now when I try to boot and flash using power+camera, it just sits there at "Loading...", and Android boots the kernel but can't seem to mount the file system on the SSD. So the phone is useless right now.

Is there a way to fix it or am I screwed?

EDIT: Okay, it seems I had to remove the flash drive, then boot with power+camera. I plugged in my USB cable and it went into USB mode, then I installed an official ROM from HTC's website. Seems to work now! To everyone who helped me in the parallel universe where I didn't figure this out: thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] LoveMyPhone:
For future reference, if you actually got HardSPL installed then you wouldn't be able to flash a normal SPL without going through some extra hoops. (That's the point of HardSPL). Although it will say that it flashed the SPL it will not actually overwrite the HardSPL.

if they are in the .qmg format, then i think you have to push your .qmg file to

if they aren't then you have to make an update.zip file and put the files in appropriate folder and update your phone.

So, I went ahead and gave Phantom's new Chromatic's a try. I went with the Carbon Fiber Black. IMO it looks amazing. Instead of wasting 1.5 hours of my time I just had the guy at the mall install it for $10. There is one flaw on the top left corner there are 2 little ripples and I plan on taking it back to have them fix as it has a lifetime warranty with their install. One of the pics shows this. Other than that, I love it.

This also includes the screen protector.

FYI, it does not have that rubbery grippy feel of a normal skin so if you desire that, I suggest staying away form this. Also, while it breaks in, the edges of the back skin pick up pocket link like a vacuum.

In my experience testing zagg, BSE and now Phantom Skinz, the phantom just seems to have a unsurpassed quality to it. Just my .02. Enjoy the pics!

You dont have to go to a mall to get it. You can order it from phantom skinz your self and put it on yourself. Link If you dont want to do it yourself just call phantom skinz and ask them. They are based out of Gilbert, AZ and I live just down the streat from there so maybe that is why there was a kiosk in that mall.
