Bear with me since I've never NANDandroid'd my HD2's, only have run them from my SD cards. My understanding is that magldr can be removed by just reinstalling another flash, like Tmo's 3.14 or 2.13.

Is this the exact NAND you installed? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893620 It says "Uninstallation:

It is possible to downgrade to original Windows Mobile 6.5, by just flashing to an Official ROM.

Both MAGLDR and Android will be removed"

My bet is that you'll have to do the SD card method of reflashing:

Remove your sim card, then

Download a stock rom, unpack it, and...

.

1. Place the LEOIMG.nbh on a 8GB or smaller microSD card.

2. Remove the battery cover and press the Reset button.

3. Hold the Volume Down and End Call (power) buttons at the same time.

4. As soon as "Searching..." appears on the screen, release the Volume Down button.

5. ROM will flash. Be sure to hard-reset afterwards to prevent weird errors (as usual). (credits to snarksneeze)

To find your radio version, check in android's about phone section in the settings menu. I don't know of any other way other than maybe the bootloader screen (3 colors, red, green blue), might list it (volume down and power button).

Ok the closest thing that i have found online is a custom rom called "Kumar's Leo Touch Prem V3.0 S23142-WWE.nbh". Now i am completely lost after the step that states Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
[HD2 General] japookie:
ok i tried renaming the rom and copying it to the sd card but when i try to reboot by holding the power key and the down volume rocker the phone just continually vibrates and never restarts. When i try a regular reboot by holding the power button i can either go back into android or pull up magldr but not flashing options for winmo
[HD2 General] Deleted member 331338:
Wait a minute...don't use that Kumar's ROM, it's for the Euro HD2 (512MB) --it'll probably brick your US TMO HD2 (1024 MB).

Ok, find a TMO USA nbh file, then rename it to LEOIMG.nbh, then copy it to the the microSD card with a card reader. Next, put the microSD card back in the phone and remove the SIM card (some folks say it's better to flash without the SIM card in).

Make sure before you flash that your battery level is more than 50%! Enter the bootloader by doing the following:

To place the HD2 into Bootloader mode,

1. Place the LEOIMG.nbh on a 8GB or smaller microSD card.

2. Remove the battery cover and press the Reset button.

3. Hold the Volume Down and End Call (power) buttons at the same time.

4. As soon as "Searching..." appears on the screen, release the Volume Down button.

5. ROM will flash. Be sure to hard-reset afterwards to prevent weird errors (as usual). (credits to snarksneeze)
[HD2 General] japookie:
WOW thanks a million before i bricked the phone, the closest thing to a t mo nbh file that i have found so far is what i am assuming is a rom labeled "T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1.exe". I will continue scouring the net until i find something and again THANKS A MILLION

Ok here's the thread that'll save your day:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=681317

at the end of the first post is a ROM for you. Copy that to the microSD card and go from there, following the instructions. I forgot since it's been a while since I've done it that you need an 8gb or smaller microSD card, the 16gb one doesn't seem to work for flashing.

Here's your 2.10 stock TMO USA rom, http://devftp.xda-developers.com/files/zelendel/LEOIMG.nbh after you get this installed, perhaps your USB connectivity will be back and you'll be able to later update to 3.14 if you so choose (http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobileUS/DeviceDownloads.aspx?pid=leo2) or 2.13 (http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobileUS/DeviceDownloads.aspx?pid=leo)

1. Place the LEOIMG.nbh on a 8GB or smaller microSD card.

2. Remove the battery cover and press the Reset button.

3. Hold the Volume Down and End Call (power) buttons at the same time.

Download that .exe you where talking about and extract it to gain the .NBH file you need.
[HD2 General] Deleted member 331338:
You know what's wierd is I used to be able to extract/decompress that .exe file! Now I can't, I figured I probably uninstalled the program that does that on my computer. Anyway, I was going to recommend to the OP to do that except that he might not have the program to decompress that .exe as well, so I figured I'd make it a little easier for him by suggesting he download just the .nbh file from the forums.
[General Questions and Answers] semajhan:
I was wondering how I would go about changing the taskbar or the theme itself on my N1 to that of the galaxy S. I only really want the taskbar and most of all, the korean font that this screen shot has:

Bah, cannot link to outside links yet...

Well, if you go to the market and search voca voca app, by sung joon kim, the screenshots should show the taskbar and font right before the time.

I was thinking I could use some website that I used once a while back to change my battery icon but I cannot seem to find it. Something online kitchen.

Anyone know what that font is and how to apply it?

Get me started in the right direction, thanks!

Hi

I am having trouble with my t-mobile htc hd2, I have gotten hspl and MAGLDR111 on it. I have tried a couple of nand and some hang on the android boot up screen, while others like Stock Leo_Desire nand gets the black screen right after i saw the unlock screen. The only nand that works for me is the NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9a_NAND. I have also tried clockworkmod recovery but the same thing happened; either hang on android boot up screen or black screen after i see the unlock screen. Hope someone can provide me with some help.

The NexusHD2 Froyo nand works great, its just drains quite a lot of battery from the phone; have to charge at least once a day. I want also wanted to fix this problem because I want to try different nand.

I dont remember what my previous version was because i thought it was the WM version issue so I updated.

This was the WM Version that I had installed.

RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_2_Ship

thanks.

BTW, I have tried a couple of other stock wm 6.5 roms but the same thing happened.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chai619:
Same problem

I am having the same problem as you, except i havent tried NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9a NAND. Im going to try it now to see if it works.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chai619:
That one worked for me woot!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ppl4ever:
that's good, just waiting to see if anyone encountered this problem or solved this problem.

BTW, I have tried a couple of other stock wm 6.5 roms but the same thing happened.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chai619:
Yea its annoying only one is working, i checked everywhere on the forums and the stock nand build said it just doesnt work on some. But if one of them works without a problem then tytung did it right. I went back to using the SD card i might go back to nand in the future.

My Zune HD has this, why doesn't the Zune player on the phone have it? The "Related" artist pivot was great in helping to find new artists that I liked. Also, pictures would be helpful since it seems like we are stuck with the same damn picture for each respective band/artist for our background and live tile.

Anyone know why these were cut out and if they are going to make it back in?

EVO Shift 4G vs. Epic 4G

Which is the phone to get?

Why?

Title says it all.

Let the battle begin.
[Epic 4G General] ghlu:
At this point I'd say shift simply because it has better chance of getting gingerbread..
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Research the hardware before you make a decision.
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
for me Epic:

1)the Screen, colors are just awesome

2)the 5 row keyboard "numbers have their own row"

3)ffc, not that I use it but just in case -----specs I seen for Shift from www some have ffc and some don't, I am leaning Shift has no ffc
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
For me... Epic!!

From what I understand the screen on the shift is going to be 3.5inches? Correct me if I am wrong.. if the shift had the screen size of the epic/evo, I would be more then happy to go to that phone
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
The Evo Shift has a 3.6 inch screen. DISQUALIFIED.

Also, hardware wise it falls short in every single respect doesn't it? The only positive is that its made by HTC and will actually get developer support, and has the EVO name so sprint might actually give a damn.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
It depends on what you want. My wife wants the shift because its smaller. If it came down to specs id rather have the shift because it has the same amazkng processor as the g2.

Shift...have you seen the fighting in the epic section.... :P

Scent phrum mie fone!
[Epic 4G General] Daddy43205:
id say shift cause its not made by samsung.......epic is a better phone in general though. at the end of the day at least you know the shift will get support.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
If you can afford it, the epic. They're two entirely different classes of devices, with the epic being the better

It should be shift 4g vs the intercept :P
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Also, the shift 4g will probably be better supported softwarewise

But the epic is better in every respect hardware wise
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
You are 100% wrong. Please go research the desire z/g2 because I would die for that 800mhz processor. It blows our 1ghz without even trying. The epic wins in screen clarity. Some people will argue its size too but that is completely subjective. My wife hates the size of my epic but I love it. If the g2 proc came in a phone with 4+ inch samoled I would pay for it unsubsidized.

[Epic 4G General] vitreoush:
I say the epic as long as your comfortable rootng and flashing your phone. I love the extra wide/tall keyboard with a number row. Given that i have to take lots of notes on my phone this is invaluable. I agree that the epic hardware is largely superior, though perhaps the build quality will be a bit better on a htc phone with the evo name. Almost surely the htc software will be tighter and more frequently updated. Ultimately its pretty close. i'd have to feel both in my hands befor i made the switch. One thing is the epic dev scene seems pretty hot and heavy right now.

Sent from my Epic running bonsai 1.1.3 on ext4.
[Epic 4G General] bondosho:
If you like to ***** and whine about how your phone doesn't have the latest software, even tho it's faster than most with it, the Epic is your choice.

If you like the latest software, decent hardware, big fuquadrant scores, and crappy camera quality, HTC is your choice.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
While the 800mhz processor in the desire z/g2 is nice..ours is still better....it may be A LOT better then the 1ghz one in the EVO but definitely not on par with ours...

That said is this thread in every forum and epic/shift section? lol
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
+1

the only thing I envy from the g2 is the software.
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
Agreed. Right now, the Hummingbird is the fastest of the ARM Cortex A8 processors, beating out clock for clock both the Snapdragon and OMAP platforms. Plus the graphics is substantially better.

The ARM Cortex A9 CPUs will yet again beat those. I'd recommend holding off if you're buying a new phone. Wait for the A9 parts to come out. The A9 CPUs will probably be the latest version until maybe late 2012 when the ARM Eagle CPUs begin to come out.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
1. Not only are the colors on the Epic just awesome, the EVO Shift is going to have a smaller screen.

3. EVO Shift does not have a front facing camera. I saw our advertising sheets for it yesterday.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Evo shift doesn't have S-amoled. Evo shift has a smaller screen (4" is my minimum"). Epic is just awesome.

Only thing is... if you like fast updates, that is a definite plus for HTC.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
This is the one major detractor for me. The big upside is how stable and powerful the 800mhz chip is; it has been overclocked to 1.9ghz in a stable rom. Of course, it gets hot but that is a more than doubling of the proc speed.
[Epic 4G General] thechicgeak:
Assuming the EVO Shift 4G has a keyboard that does not miss keys like the Epic's does, and that it is not crippled by anti-rooting or hacking measures, then I would definitely say the Shift.

HTC has a much better track record for updates than Samsung. The delays with the Galaxy S, I think, show this trend to be continuing indefinitely. The software on the Epic and other Galaxy S devices is hacky crap, and HTC is usually good about having solid software on their devices.

Also, the G2 (the phone the Shift is based off of), while slightly slower "technically" than the Epic's, still has a very nice processor and is probably the smoothest experience on Android I have ever tried. The only downside, hardware-wise, with the G2 is the swinging mechanism for the keyboard, but that is getting replaced with a more traditional sliding mechanism in the Shift.

The Epic's keyboard is essentially useless, the GPS is crippled, and the software is far behind. I am very disappointed in Samsung with this phone. Usually they are really good for consumer electronics. I will probably be replacing my Epic with whatever nice dual core keyboarded device comes to Sprint first under a stable brand with no insurmountable counter measures in place for customization and hacking. Assuming the conditions I put forth earlier are satisfied (hackable, has a functioning keyboard), the Shift is the phone I would have rather have purchased, and at $100 cheaper, why would you get the Epic?
[Epic 4G General] djstr0be:
I agree. It seems like the Evo Shift is a step down from the Epic in every category except manufacturer.Plain and simple,if you want the best hardware go with the epic.If you want the best software/support go with the Evo Shift.
[Epic 4G General] littlepr:
If you are in this forum and you intend to install non-official releases without being hampered by vendor lock systems, you should be voting for the Epic. The phone has been rock solid running various cooked roms coming from Eclair and now also on Froyo cooked roms. All I have to say is I love the speed and battery life on my Epic running DK28 Roms cooked by the ViperTeam(BThomas and company). Their roms are just out of this world. The same can be said for the following roms: Epic Experience, Quantum, midNight, ACS, Nebula and a few others.

Sprint Epic should be your choice. Need more reasons?
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
Has anyone seen the wirefly youtube videos? In my opinion, the shift might seem inferior on paper but the quadrant test they did against an evo was impressive. Yes, I know benchmarks vs real life are two different things. My slow epic stock rooted was getting low 900's. Yeah custom kernels and roms can make things quicker. Testing out of the box though, I would think that would show some interesting conservative results.

Unless the demo unit at the store is laggy or some other obvious fault, I will most likely get the htc because of how disgruntled I am with samsbung. By the time I have the cash to get it, there will be some reviews out there by then. I don't overclock and I usually run stock rooted (for stability) so roms don't usually interest me. I'm not saying anything I've said is a fact, it's simply my opinion.
[Epic 4G General] nicholishen:
Yes... more reasons, please?
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
i dont care who ya are, thats funny, right there.
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
Right now I'm kind of on the fence. But I'm just going to wait till the end of CES and then make my choice
[Epic 4G General] h2g2:
Regarding the processors, the Epic uses a 1Ghz Cortex-A8 core while the Shift uses a 800Mhz Scorpion core. The Scorpion is actually a custom design for their Snapdragon SoC (Qualcomm licensed the ARM7 instruction set and built their own CPU vs. Samsung and TI which licensed the Cortex-A8 design outright) that has different performance characteristics vs. the stock Cortex-A8. In particular, it's a little less efficient clock for clock but does have a really beefy FPU which is why Linpack scores for Snapdragon-based smartphones is off the charts compared to Hummingbird and OMAP3 smartphones and it helps with Quadrant scores as well.

GPU is better on the Hummingbird, OMAP3 and 2nd Gen Snapdragon are comparable, and 1st Gen Snapdragon is quite a bit behind. BUT, with the absence of widespread GPU acceleration in the Android OS, this won't translate to an improvement in overall performance. Games can benefit BUT bear in mind that so long as 1st gen Snapdragon users remain a large percentage of the Android market base, game devs won't really be designing their games to take full advantage of the faster GPUs. Homebrew stuff like Quake3 ports will see the biggest benefit on the Hummingbird.

The main points I see for the Epic are the Super AMOLED screen and larger screen size (for me, 4" is goldilocks - my Nexus One was a bit too small and my uncle's Evo 4G is a bit too big) and bigger keyboard. One nice thing about the Epic keyboard is that the number keys 2-0 have special characters that match up with what's on the standard QWERTY keyboard. This is useful for folks like me who use those characters in their passwords and rely on muscle memory to recall them. It's a bit of a niche consideration, I must say, but it was actually a buying decision for me (I was comparing smartphones with keyboards across all carriers because my T-Mobile contract was up).
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Firefox and Opera have hardware acceleration..and if 10.2 flash is ported to cellphones it will run solely on the GPU...

Also with the Unreal Engine 3 ported for Android it will set a new class of games which require the GPU...

The ONLY carrier to feature a 1st gen snapdragon as a top tiered phone is Sprint...

Verizon dumped them last generation in the Incredible in favor of the Droid X..

T-Mobile dumped them ever since the Nexus one and as a Vibrant, Nexus S and Mytouch 4g (2nd gen 1ghz)

AT&T dumped it with the Nexus one..now has a Captivate

As you can see every carrier since mid year already moved on to a better phone in their "top tier" hardware wise...except Sprint...

I was hoping in 2011 that these 800mhz would be the middle tiered phones and that dual cores would be top tiered..but I guess sprint is going to be pushing the Shift into top tier while the other keep it middle tier :/
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
I find a lot of the hooting and hollering funny, because it was the exact same thing about HTC when the hero came out. "I'm never buying HTC again" "No support" etc.

Not long after the hero android released 2.1 (and 1.6 was already out.) It should have been obvious, but I quickly realized what a folly buying something for the software was. Between the 2 updates almost everything sense brought to the table was a buggy/crappy version of stuff that was to be natively supported. (Pinch to zoom, etc) Any helpful widget was recreated in the market. About the only thing we could boast about was Flash, but about the only thing it was functional for was flash ads.

I ran mostly custom roms from the beginning and halfway into its lifespan I ditched the software altogether and went with Cyanogen.

I'm getting the Shift or Epic soon, and some of you are scaring me with the "Epic keyboard is worthless" talk, but which company supports the phone more is basically worthless, because their support almost doesn't matter.

At the moment I'm leaning Epic. The only thing that scares me is the "aftermarket dev" support for Samsung phones seems much less than others.

Does anyone know why it is that people have had a Gingerbread build out that people use as their daily driver for a couple weeks now, and the Epic is on like a pre alpha build of Cyanogen? Is it just the year+ head start? Are HTC phones easier to dev on? Do they have something the Epic doesn't? (Source code, kernel code, etc?) I don't mean to impinge anyone's work, or insinuate no one is working hard on things, I'm just wondering if there's a reason, and if that reason is something that will always be, or if it's just a matter of time.
[Epic 4G General] h2g2:
Good to know about Firefox and Opera.

My point about the 1st gen Snapdragon isn't that they account for a large portion of the phones being sold now, but that they account for a significant portion of phones that people own now (as in, bought in the last year or so). I'm pretty sure that Gameloft, for example, wouldn't want to cut out customers with Incredibles or EVO 4Gs. But I could be wrong. I played Dungeon Hunter extensively on both my Nexus One and then again on my Epic and I didn't notice a significant difference in the performance.

I suspect this will change sometime soon but by the time it does, both the Shift and Epic will be old news anyway. :)
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Thats because there is not much to do until official froyo is released and we get the source.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
There's no froyo for the hero though, and we've had it forever, and stable gingerbread is imminent. Did we get lucky on some leak with the hero, is HTC more forthcoming with the code, is it just because people have had over a year to get stuff working, or something else?

Edit: Cause, while I'd be lying if I said I've spent days researching, I looked into it for some friends/family, and the Moment and Instinct also seemed to be sorely lacking actual custom stuff well into their lifespan.
[Epic 4G General] h2g2:
About Flash 10.2, I thought it was using VDPAU on Linux which is Nvidia-only at this point.

For Flash to run "solely on the GPU", you'd need GPGPU functionality like OpenCL support which won't be present in the PowerVR GPUs until SGX545 and Adreno 300-series, I believe.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Well AMD/Intel also has it via VA-API...

Maybe..we will see once Adobe actually tackles it..right now they are aiming for Desktops..maybe for Cell phones they may find a way to optimize it using current tech...maybe not and we will see..but I admit I did miss that point..Got to excited by the headlines when I first saw it lol

Oh as for games, Dugneon Hunter isn't that intensive.. Dungeon Defender is more intensive and EVO currently isnt supported..and Infinity Blade I'm sure if ever ported is not goign to work on a 1ghz at all..
[Epic 4G General] h2g2:
Cool, I have to say I'm happy to see more games taking advantage of the better hardware. I'll have to check Dungeon Defender out. Regarding Infinity Blade, I thought that runs on the iPhone 4 with an 800Mhz processor and an SGX535? Not sure what the specs on the SGX535 are but I can't imagine the Adreno 205 being that far behind so unless the code is poorly optimized, it should run a phone like the G2 or Evo Shift (Epic should be no problem though).
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Yes, the 2nd snapdragons are ok..I meant the first gen one..They actually list G2 and the others in Mid-range:
