Hi,

India HTC site does not give 2.53. You have only option for 2.17 from official site. May be if you go to Service Center they will install 2.53 for you :).

But if you like you can get these official ROMs from http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Topaz site and install 2.53 which is very stable and good one and has latest Radio ROM too.

Reg Backup::

Yes you can take backup for you contacts, calender, Task and SMSs before you upgrade.

For Contact: Create a Outlook profile and sync your mobile so that the new profile will have all your Contacts, Calender, Task etc.

For SMS: Use "My Phone" application on your mobile and Sync online to Microsoft My Phone for SMS. (of course you can use My Phone to sync every thing online).

But I prefer only SMS for myself

Let me know if this help.

Thanks.

Phew!:mad: The service center refused to flash official ROM since I had my device HardSPL'ed. Had to do the mtty myself. Luckily it worked. Thanks to MysticGenius for coming up with the tutorial.:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Ohh ok.

So do you mean that after you installed the 2.54 and your phone did not start and you followed the MTTY to get your deviCe back ?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] illi:
Yes! Luckily 2.54 didnt brick my phone. MTTY was of great help.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
The HTC mobiles are locked to a region so that the official ROM released in that area will work for that device.

Now as you have use official ROM from another region or may be any Cooked ROM, so you need to have HSPL installed before you use any other ROM on your device.

You can get all info about HSPL here:

I know NAND is where the action is at right now. But I am just looking at Windows Phone a bit trying to learn some WP7 app development. But loading WP7 has taken away all the options from Andriod builds. Most chefs have moved off of SD and are not updating their builds. (Only dandiest and copenhagen are active atm). The community provided many contributions like modified rootfs for booting many of the current SD builds from magldr.

I know it will be too much of hassle, but can some chefs take a look at their SD builds and update it?

I'm running Cyanogen Mod 7 v 2.5 Gingerbread on my HD2 which is clocked at 1.536Ghz.

Best quadrant score I could pull was 1418, with results being inconsistent every time I run the test.

Best score in linpack was 41 MFLOPS.

Best CPU bench score was 672ms.

Now, don't get me wrong. I know these scores are a def improvement over stock and nothing to sneer at, but I've seen HD2's that only run at 1.1 - 1.2Ghz with Froyo in the 1600+ Quadrant/60 MFLOPS+ CPU bench range.

[EVO 4G General] sminker:
Use the Wireless settings menu to enable and disable 4G. That will keep it from restarting after reboots.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
How often do you reboot anyway? I'd certainly like to see a fix, but I don't have any problem just remembering to turn it off after a reboot if I don't want it on. It's a small price to pay to have more convenient access to 4G toggling (right in the notification screen, as well as in Quick Settings).
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
The issue isn't just remembering to turn it off, there's another issue here. The evo doesn't turn off 4g correctly. Test it yourself. Turn off 4g, then wait a while, and check an alogcat log. You'll see that it still tries to connect and scan for 4g every few minutes, only to end up erroring out (because 4g was turned "off"). This is a potential battery drainer also.

[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Hey guys,

I know a lot of people with this phone are happy with the frame rate of videos in good light (30 fps constant). But one thing that really does my head in is the shocking frame rate in low light (like indoors).

Well fear not chums, supremebeaver is here to put your fears to rest ;)

Steps:

- Open camera (not camcorder) app. Set ISO to 800

- Open Camcorder app, set Exposure to -2.

- Notice improved frame rate in viewfinder.

- Smile :)

I will admit, the quality suffers a little. The video gets a lot darker but imo its a good compromise for smoothness. At least for me. I was able to go from 9 fps with stock settings to 25 solid with those settings changed.

Enjoy :)
[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
if you want to know why this works, heres how:

at 30 Frames Per Second, each frame of video has a minimum exposure time of 1 thirtyith of a second, or 1/30 seconds.

in low light this is does not give the camera enough time to gather light to expose an image, so it slows the exposure time down, saaaay, 1 fifteenth. this reduces the frame rate to 15fps. this gives the camera twice as long to expose an image.

by changing the exposure to -2 you are telling the camera not to increase the exposure time and so you end up with a darker image but better frame rate.

this is not something that can be magically fixed by a firmware update, its simple photographic physics.

the only thing a firmware fix will do is turn the default ISO up.
[Desire HD General] koolxx:
but why is the cam on htc hd7 have faster fps than hd2 when they got the same specs? hd7 has WP7 and hd2 has WP 6.5. is it the o/s?
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
The HD7 has the same chipset as us, the HD2 has the last generation of snapdragon (the same one as the classic desire).
[Desire HD General] wid0w:
Consider using the built-in flash to compensate for that darker image issue
[Desire HD General] mdalacu:
it would be nice if we had a brightness setting, like LG camera does. There, you can also boost ISO to 1250.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
but the noise will be too high.. like on the iphone 4, they raise the ISO so high to maintain framerate but all u get is a super grainy video that looks rubbish.

Sending in TmoUS HD2 for broken digitizer repair.

I put it back to stock rom and removed HSPL, just want to make sure this is fine because I read everywhere about SPL being 1.4x or 1.6x, mine is 2.08.

This is what my SPL screen shows

PB81120 HX-B3

SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(Touch) 0x40
[HD2 General] fred_up:
The 1.42 and 1.66 were for the 512LEO. Your 1024LEO (TMOUS) started with 2.08. and since it is 2.08.000 and not 2.08.HSPL then you are back to warranty.

Off topic question, is the reset button yellow or red?
[HD2 General] mayurolla:
Thank you. My reset button is red. I did searching, turns out the red button HD2's have alot of problems compared to the yellow buttons.
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
It's a myth sir!
[HD2 General] fred_up:
As Kurt says there is an anecdotal story still going the rounds about the reliability differences between the red and yellow reset versions of the TMOUS LEOs.
[HD2 General] mayurolla:
I guess there isn't. I heavily searched the forums and that's the conclusion I came up with.
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Just this official communication of HTC:

The regular HD2 have a red reset button.

The T-Mous device have a Yellow button.

based on this we can conclude that almost 75% of the HD2 devices are regular devices. So, do you think that thy all have issues???
[HD2 General] mayurolla:
I have a TmoUS HD2 with a red button...
[HD2 General] kampf:
I just picked up a TMOUS Leo with a bad digitizer and am going to send it in for repair.

Appreciate the clarification on all of the details, so I can rest easy sending this device in for service. The former user was probably truthful in saying he hadn't modded it after all.

Also, mine's got the red Reset button, for what it's worth.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
first batch of tmous had red, but after a few weeks yellow started showing up (allegedly because america sees red spots as water damage indicators, amongst other conpiracy theories).

combined with the first tmous release roms being buggy and being quickly re-released, thats where the red unstable / yellow stable myth came from.

Trying to put my phone back to stock

Hi, I need to send my HD2 out for repair under warranty and I already flash my phone back to the stock rom. The only problem is that I still have hspl on my phone. How do I uninstall hspl and install the stock spl? Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
bootloader - usb - hspl4.exe - choose spl you want
[HD2 General] enyce42k10:
Thanks Samsamuel! HSPL4 worked with no problems. Now I have another question but first I'll explain whats going on. I was running the energy2 rom for a while and loved it but just recently my touch screen stopped responding. So I hard reset it and flashed it back to the stock rom. Thats when I noticed that the SPL didnt change. I ran HSPL4 so now my SPL reads 2.08.000 instead of 2.08.HSPL. Now my question is...... since my touch screen still doesnt work, how can I check to see what actual rom is on it for warranty purposes or since the SPL is back to stock should I just not worry about it? I just received my replacement but I want to make sure I am good to go before I send back my original one. Can anyone give me some insight? It would be much appreciated. Thanks.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
To check your ROM version from Home Screen touch on Start Menu/ scoll down to About phone/Software Information. Once there you will see your ROM version. If you have a T-Mobile HD2 and the ROM you flashed was the latest update from T-Mobile you should have ROM version 3.14.531.1 (0466) WWE.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
or maybe a touchscreen free method would work better,,,, :)

go into bootloader, it tells you the spl there. for regular hd2 any 1.x or 3.x ending .0000 is fine, for tmous any 2.x or 3.x ending .0000 is fine.

What you can do to be sure, is to remove hspl first then then flash the rom, that way teh flash changes the spl to what it shouldbe for that rom.

So for you, you already removed hspl, so just run eth flash again over usb, and it will install that roms stock spl. so example if its a 1.66 stock rom, it will downgrade 2.08.0000 to 1.66.0000
[HD2 General] enyce42k10:
Cool, that was gonna be my next step was to flash the stock rom again but I wasnt too sure. I'll try it out and let you know. Thanks again!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry my bad man I forgot they said the touch screen wasn't working. I feell like a moroon now lol....... I will have to pay closer attention from now on. Oh and samsamuel I have been reading alot of your post and I personaly want to thank you, you have taught me and I am sure others alot we did not know so kudoes to you my friend. :D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
well thanks very much, you're very welcome.

I'm a fan of Karma, i'm banking on getting a 'congratulations, you win!' popup when i die.
[HD2 General] enyce42k10:
No big deal T-Macgnolia, its a common mistake. You were only trying to help and I greatly appreciate the effort.

Thanks again Samsamuel. I flashed the stock rom again and now everything looks exactly the same way the replacement phone looks minus the working touch screen. lol! And I double checked the rom version by running the tmobile update rom again but only up to the screen where it shows your current rom version and asks if you want to update. Then I just cancelled the update once I am sure which rom is on there. So just in case anybody has their touch screen go out and they are trying to flash everything back to stock, they can try the steps that I tried to verify the rom. Thanks again everyone!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
thats a good check, but dont rely on it totally (Its right on this occasion, im just talking for info).

The updater pulls that version info from the roms registry, so you can make it say 'ive got a great big tonka'' if you want.

That is also the reason you get no info at all when you manually enter bootloader before running the flasher, because it cant access the registry from bootloader.
