Did you buy it from an indiviidual that had t-mobile service, you may be able to ask them to call t-mobile and get an unlock code. Probably should have do that before they gave you the phone. Otherwise, there are some web based solutions to sim unlock, and if memory serves me correctly, there is someone on XDA that can unlock these phones, and may do it for free if you are an active dev, I'll have to search to find it again, as I may be mixing it up from my toch pro II days...
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
There is a guy o ebay that sells confirmed unlock codes for tmous htc hd2. Nick : e-unlocks

It costs 7 pounds aprox.

Found confirmed shots in polish forums

Or mxkey http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f475/mxkey-htc-unlocker-update-v1-2-htc-rose-htc-h2-added-free-unlocking-947361/
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Found this:

1) you should ideally install the update first.. (it'll hard reset your peice)

2) Get you Imie by pressing *#06# on your phone

3) Send the Imie to cellunlock - cellunlock.net

4) then insert a local Sim card

5) It will ask for an unlock code..enter the code cellunlock gives you and Voila

Also.. when youre buying the code from cellunlock enter 'berryscoop' in the discount code to get 50 % off

Hope this helps

May also want to check out this thread:

Hey docent 14 or copenhagen,

I have found that when data disconnects sometimes it doesn't want to come back by simply switching airplane mode on and off. This has happen for the past few roms 3 or 4 that ive used. I use this app by "philipp mangelow" from the market named "network". Rather than typing all those keys on the dailer to get to the secreat menu i use this app. Ill switch from gsm auto to wdcma prefferer and back to gsm auto the next time I have a data drop. This is much faster than rebooting and it has always turned data back on as oppose to the aiplane mode. People should give this a try while the data becomes more stable in the future...
[HD2 Android SD Development] midazolam:
No, you're not alone. I agree, it's a GREAT build, just not for most of my games.

I've had the same intermittent FC's that you described with games installed on the phone (not the SD...I did read the FAQ). HomeRunBattle3D, for example, will run once or twice before causing an FC that can only be "fixed" with uninstalling/reinstalling (which causes all game progress to be lost each time).

Game incompatibility = Small price to pay for the best SD Android build I've tested to date, IMO.

If you ate referring to HD2 mic gain, it does what it claims to do. It works in conjunction with tytung's r12 kernel. I don't know whether Warren has plans to incorporate this feature...

Missing catalog buttons

I just upgraded to 828 but now my catalog buttons are missing. Even when ADW option is checked, it's still missing. How do I get it back?
[HD2 Android SD Development] DrQuincy:
I can confirm this (sort of). My Android always shakes for a few moments before the wallpaper finally loads. This did not happen with 0817, although it does not make this build unusable for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rider123:
I got file expert loaded. I also downloaded jota text editor. I have navigated to the system folder, I found the build.prop file. I changed the properties to allow read and write. I have tried to mount the system folder but can only mount as read only. I tried editing the build.prop file but it would not let me save it.

Any advice? Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Do those apps have root rights right from the start or do you have to give them root rights first, like you have to do with es explorer?

If you're not sure, go to the settings of those apps and check if there is an option for root access.
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
Yes, that is what I wanted to try to modify the mic levels... :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] rider123:
I had set file expert to have root rights in settings. File expert is listed in my superuser list.

I am new to this so not sure what else to do.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
if you're using an SD build, the screen density is set in startup.txt - change it there, as for the rest, I'm almost 99% sure, that the old market comes with 0828 build, anyway if you want to play with system.ext2, you can have RW access on Windows PC, using Ext2Fsd and Gizmo, just remember to tick the "Enable write support for Ext2 partitions" box when installing ext2fsd
[HD2 Android SD Development] k8108:
Well, after trying all the other current SD android builds, I am back here. Each build has its own quirks, but this is the snappiest one and one that fits my needs by far. And yet the problem that caused me to leave ACA still persists, even with the latest build: that of data drops. I have searched and searched, (can you imagine all the stuff there is to sift thru when you search data drop?!) and am not finding a solution. Sometimes toggling airplane mode and wifi can restore data, but more times than not, I have to completely shut the phone off and start it again. what a pain!

I have even changed my APN's - so many different suggestions! but it has made no difference.

I am using US T-mos latest standard rom, and radio is 2.15.50.14. Is there anything that can be done for the data drops?
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
Well that was a bit of an accident as I thought I was trying an Android Energy NAND Rom and I realized it was WM65! Actually the reason I was trying new ROM/OS/Radio combos is that my Tmobile HD2 has terrible GSM sensitivity in France where I am currently located with network drops at all times. Now when I got it in the US I used it very little with a SIM card as it was locked so there might be something wrong with the hardware although I doubt it.

Anyway I went back to 0817 SD yesterday and battery usage was down between 15/30mA in standby, not as good as before but better than with 0828...wanting to get to the bottom of this I went back to 0828 and the -60/-120ma drainage started again...so I went back to 0817 and the same drainage remains, WTF ?! Granted I went back to radio 2.15.50.14 from 2.14.50.02...but when I was using 2.15.50.14 last week I was between -4/-6 in standby so...

Bottom line is there seems to be some black magic at play here.

On another matter, I had maybe messed things up yesterday with all my flashing but it seemed to me that MAGLDR couldn't handle Android both in NAND and on the SD, is that the case?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rider123:
Right you are regarding the market. I just uninstalled the updates and now I have the old market and now can downloads many of the apps that were previously unavailable.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
ok, so FE now has su permissions... (in the program) press the (center) windows/menu button, and go to 'More'... then 'File Explorer Settings', and scroll to the bottom of the list and Check the "Root Explorer' box... back out of the menu (into the program screen), and once again press the menu/center button... and press once again the 'More' option... (this time) press 'Mount', and choose 'Mount As Read Write'.

Now you'll be able to edit the build.prop file And SAVE your changes... If you refer back to my earlier post - changing the HD2's identity (and also keeping the lcd_density at 240)... I'm certain you'll have 99% complete market access.

(edit)... and I see now from the above post you've already accomplished what you needed to do. There are different ways to skin the cat. Whatever works! Good!
[HD2 Android SD Development] RAMBO29:
Thanks Quincy I waited long enough(about 5 mins) and it booted up properly. had a bad current drain though along with many force closes. So copied older working android folder to SD card tried a copy over again and this time there was no problem. Everything seems to be working good, so far.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Correct. Since ACA is also available as NAND build too the devs changed things in the SD build and you no longer can use ACA as SD Android while you also use a NAND build. The NAND build will always be the one that gets booted.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hecatombercm:
I have always had the same issue, and have tried to search for every related term I can think of, but it would take a lifetime to sift through all of it. Everytime I think I have identified a pattern or an app related to the drops I quickly realize Im wrong.
[HD2 Android SD Development] doniGforce:
Today I wanted to return to android sd but since I have WP7 and magldr I thought magldrsd would be nice and have adnroid and wp7 both (of course with different cards). I put the files in SD/Android but when I load magldr says something like this : loading K:\zimage ... kernel failed loading , any help?? should I put some other zimage file in the folder or what. Didn't put old data file thought to make one on boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Did you follow the instructions in the magldr folder?
[HD2 Android SD Development] doniGforce:
yeah I replaced the roofs.img (with the one from the folder) and left the one for sd in the sdmagldr folder renamed to smth else. guess it shouldn't be a problem
[HD2 Android SD Development] gajdik:
donigforce: you need tu put zImage and initrd.gz into the root of your SD card.that worked for me
[HD2 Android SD Development] doniGforce:
thanks it worked now booting for the fist time need some minutes :) anddd succesful boot :))) made my day now kind of dual boot with wp7 back to future and cm7
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
you could try Power Tutor (give batt. consumption per app, alas in mW, but it's enough for comparison), WatchDog (CPU usage), BetterBatteryStats (good for standby drain usage, paid app but there's may be older free version somewhere on xda)

ACA boots into 167 lcd density?

I am running amagldr v1.13 and am booting into SD ACA (build Aug 28). I have changed on the startup.txt to change LCD density to 240 from the default 167, but my android still continues to always boot up into 167 density. I have to use a 3rd party app (LCD Density changer) to change to 240 everytime I do a cold reboot. Am I doing something wrong in my setup for my HD2 to always boot up into 167 density?

Please advise.

THis is my startup.txt file:

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x11800000

set ramsize 0x1e400000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0 lcd_density=240 gps_zone=us data_size=1024"

boot
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Just edit the build.prop file search this thread on how to do this it is very easy to do.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Density changes in the startup.txt don't work with magldr. Only when using winmo do they take effect.

Do as nygmam suggested and you will be fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
My guess is that you have been pointing Magldr at .android_secure and not the android folder that contains the build. It would show as .androi~ rather than android

Hey can anyone help me out. My problem is that i went to do the first boot and its been stuck at the ameriCan android screen for 3 hours. Any ideas or thoughts? Please if you can help id appreciate it.

[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
From what little I know, it should be 'stuck' on that boot screen for about 10 to 15 minutes, tops! Redo the install, or pull the battery and re-boot again. Another thing that can happen - it's rare, but I've seen it - is that the filesystem (via a Windows glitch), can generate a second SD card entry, like SD card(1) where the Android files actually are, and the file/SD card is an error that has to be deleted... as Android is trying to boot files from a location that doesn't really exist. This probably isn't your problem though.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sherlockpwnz:
I did redo the installtion and still over 30 minutes stuck on that screen. Is the firstboot file supposed to be 0 bytes in size?

Sent from my Evo shift 4g
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
For my SD build, I use a bootloader from inside of WM. What you should be doing is... first run clrcad.exe (nothing will seem to happen), and then run haret.exe. If you've done everything correctly, as spelled out in the first post of this thread... then Android will build a data.image file and boot itself up.

I'm just one-step beyond noob. Semi-experienced... and if I can get this to work, so can you. (Nevermind that firstrun is a 0 KB file)
[HD2 Android SD Development] sherlockpwnz:
Right I have a bootloader too. I actually use jnf wm Rom it has no radio active and no features its basically a stripped OS. I've used this wm Rom before to run the nexushd2 Rom by tytung so I know it works. I have a feeling its something I've done wrong. I changed the data image size to 512

[HD2 Android SD Development] dumbquestion:
dazed and nfused...

I let my sister-in-law borrow my backup htc aria when her flip-phone crapped out, she dropped it 1 foot onto a satin pillow covered with packing peanuts and OF-COURSE, the screen cracked all to hell. Out of her guilt (after she bought herself an iphone 4) she insisted I take $500, so I bought myself a used Samsung Infuse (I don't know if I can wait for the Samsung Galaxy Note) off Ebay, off-contract, just to see what a made-for-Android phone would be like.

It's pretty- the screen's a little bigger than the HD2's and slightly more colorful.

The Android's still Froyo- but Froyo is fine.

I put the same (mostly) software setup as I have on my ACA HD2- same launcher (Go Launcher ex) and main programs.

I am afraid I will be selling it back to Ebay this week.

There are as many if not more opportunities to pull battery (though still rare), and even with a faster processor, the Infuse was not noticeably snappier than the HD2.

It's nice, but the HD2 is looking at the side of my cheating head asking gently "Was it worth it? Are you finished with that yet? You know it's not better. Come home. Well talk."

You know that battery drain issue some of us ACA HD2-ers have been b*tchin about... where some people luckily enjoy 3-8mA (I was one of those, once upon a build) but many are floating somewhere between 60-400mA, or even spiking around 650mA? Well, with the Infuse I watched my battery monitor widget report frequent idles around 700-850mA with spikes on a couple of occasions up to 1,250mA (that was with stock build, Bluetooth & WiFi on- no GPS) . Even with a standard 1750mAh battery, that leaves... not much.

Also, the damn CM settings and tweaks that are in ACA make the interface so custom, so pleasant, that doing without them is nagging (I hate having to slide away the screen to use my phone, for example- oh, and that bottom toolbar :rolleyes: ).

Besides, beyond the pretty screen, it just feels like holding an over-sized playing card.

Love my ACA-rockin' HD2

Thanks for all you've done & contributed Cope, Warren, and Community.
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
That's interesting, I like my ACA HD2, especially since the drain is now gone for some reason, but I'm still toying with the idea of getting a Galaxy S2 as the network sensitivity of my Tmobile HD2 is terrible with Orange France with significant signal bouncing (2/5 bars in the same place) and frequent dropouts...
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
I dont know about the performance aspect other than what we read but the other day I held a SG2 in my hands and it felt real cheap and crappy. Before you buy it play with it for a few minutes first. I similarly played with the Samsung tab 10.1 and I cant help but feel there is something not ripe with the Samsung mobility stuff. Maybe they should stick to selling HD Tvs and fridges.... Even a premium Samsung laptop that my wife uses is just there. I am not hating on them just stating my biased opinion :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] sherlockpwnz:
So I reinstalled the SD build to my mem card and left things as they were done by the dev of this build and still its not loading. I think the problem is I don't have a computer so I have to do this all on my current phone and androzip can't unzip a 7zip file correctly.

There is a version of 7zip for WinMo 6.5 that will let you extract right on your phone (In Wondows though) I used to use it all the time :) It worked like a charm. However, it doesn't work an all WinMo Rom's. It worked for me on NRG's ROM, but not for a friend on stock ROM.

Personally, I use the file manager in the Ubuntu 10.10 build available in the HD2 Ubuntu development section. link Sure, it's overkill and a wate of space but it works. :D A desktop OS is useful though. I'm learning Java and use netbeans on it to write programs. You might want to run it from a second Android SD build so you don't overwrite files currently in use. I like jaguaralani's miui build as a secondary build.

Also, psst, Cyanogenmod nightlies are back online so I think we might get a new build soon. :)

Have the same problem for long time, but with nearly every sd-build (not only american android). Maybe this issue has something to do with the network provider (mine is o2 germany). The last two weeks i was in spain and used the vodafone.es network with a local prepaid card for internet. During this, i never saw the 3G/HSDPA connection breaking while using the same build.
