Hi,
I am considering of buying a HD2, and I know the differences between T-mobile version HD2 and HTC version HD2.
I just woundering, what if the ROM of WP7 is larger then 512MB? Does that mean the HTC version HD2 cannot be upgraded to WP7 but the T-mobile version can (hypothetically, both of them can meet other require of WP7)? Or, the size of WP7 Rom is smaller than 512MB for sure, so either of them can be upgraded?

The HD2 is almost a year old. Do you really want to buy a year old phone now?
Why dont you wait untill true WP7 phones hit the market? Or buy a newer android phone....
Neither phone meets the official requirements of WP7. There will be NO official update. Most probably someone here at XDA will get a non official version working, but allot like the android development it will take months (At best) to perfect.
Just hang on a bit, and buy a native WP7 phone.
Got it.
Thank you for your advice!

its very unlikely to be anywhere near that size. The leaked WP7 rom for the mondrian is around the same size as a normal winmo 6.5 rom, (without all the branding) , 150 meg or so.

I know it voids your warranty, but is it actually illegal to put it on a phone you own?

HD2 was one year old but it's hardware is very advance in todays mobile world (576MB RAM & 1GB ROM in T-MOBILE HD2 or 448MB RAM & 512MB ROM in International Version) till todays no any phone compared with HD2... also one more thing, this phone capable for porting many operating system like android, wp7, ubuntu, etc... so it is great phone till today.
Im looking to buy an HD2, however im not sure if i should purchase the T-Mob version or the Intl. version. I'm well aware of the hardware differences but im not which version has the most mod support (for example Cotulla's magldr will prolly first be released for the intl hd2). So yeah, which version would you buy considering both hardware and modding capabilities?
where are you from ?
3G isnt an issue, i don't use it. But to answer your question, Mexico; soon moving to the US
All versions can be modded pretty equally... they're the same hardware except for rom size. Magldr should work on all versions. I'd get the T-Mobile us version for the bigger rom size, and you can probably get it the cheapest. The only thing you have to be careful about is not flashing the wrong radio to it, as some of the older radios will brick it.

Hi,
while searching for a new Phone, i found this strange thing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trAOSb6N7VM&feature=related
It seems like an HD2 running WM 6.x and having an 1Ghz Qualcomm processor etc.
The one who made the video also sells the phone: http://www.tododualsim.com/product.php?id_product=112
Also the price is very low for this kind of phone....
So I wanted to ask you if you think that's real or just a fake?
Thanks
Kurso
Fake i think, in the video it says model t8585 and nand size 1024mb but t8585 is eu model and dont have nand that big.
its real phone but it is not htc ,it is just a china copy
Look at the camera its in the wrong place lol. Also 8.1 Mega Pixel and looks like it has a 3.5 MM jack at the top might just be me but the side buttons seem to stick out more. Must be an imatation.
Yeah thats fake as hell. Weird colors, buttons too big, camera in the wrong place, microphone hole on the right hand side...definate Chinese clone.
Clear video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY2uEJma4I4&feature=related
Clearer video...even more proof that it's fake. Look at the GIANT HTC logo on the front...
Ok thanks guys
Hi!
I'm planning on buying a Chinese copy of HD2. I'm not concerned that it's 100% fake and build quality is not on par with real HTC, cause I really need the dual SIM functionality.
My questions are:
1. can it be SID-unlocked (does it have to be?)
2. will any of the custom WWE ROMs install and run on it?
3. will both SIMs be visible in any custom ROM or do I have to install a specific ROM which supports dual SIM dual standby functionality?
Whoever got to play with these Chinese phones, please let me know!
Thank you!
im pretty sure that it wont even rom stock windows mobile 6.5 i think there will be stock chinese software wich isnt even a smartphone
@ dim4x4
the Oboe Phone is a dual SIM with WM6.5, if u get ur Clone Phone and u can get the ROM dumped, edited and reflashed. i beleive u will be able to make a custom ROM.

there r chinese clones out there with windows mobile 6.5 running but most of the clones i've seen are not even smartphones... they r running chiinese software made to look like winmo. and some runs a chinese special system derived/modified from the latest windows CE builds.
oh ya and definately you cant use any of the roms designed for real HD2 coz the hardware and bios design was diff.
Just grab a (HTC) HD2 and another cheap phone from Ebay if You really need to use 2 sim cards . Thats what I did. You can buy a small handy SE W880i for like 15 pounds in uk and it also supports 3G network. Dont buy a China copy or You will get stuck with a crap phone that can easly develop a fault. Its not worth Your money.

1. Yes , it can but there´s no need for
2. Google for it. If you detect a custom ROM for that special device you might test it. I suppose there isn´t. And never, never try to flash a ROM for another device. It would certainly brick your phone
3. It depends on your luck to find a ROM for that special device. Otherwise see 2.
Thanks for the advice, guys! Will let you know how it goes.
Hi Dim,
I bought one of these chinese phones... for my chinese wife (because these chinese phones look so cool)
First it's plastic in bad quality! you will get scratches by your fingernails!
Second, the audio quality for talking on caller and receipient side were worse. The speakers are in bad quality: mp3 bad, talking bad, listening bad.
Third, signal strength must be high to work. Often you lose your signal and can't call anyone.
All in one, i can say, that you waste your money. Mine looks like a iPhone 4, but thats all you have on pro's side. On con's side the three points i wrote above.
I bought a new mobile, galaxy from Samsung, and my wife is healed from thinking that the chinese mobiles could be better in any aspect.
Hope this will stop you from buying this crap!
hi
most of people who reply on you,they dont know anything at all about smart chinese phone
and about flashing rom to chinese smart phones will require differant software depends on cpu, because chinese usally use hisillicon cpu or MTK cpu,so when you decide to buy just ask for condation that they send you software and rom.and have fun with cheap and great quilty,and if you decide to buy some model you can ask here for advice
Hi,
With me the same. Still the proud owner of a HTC Universal. I need a "Dual SIM Standby" and came across this chinese vendor. Here are the specs:
-Dual sim card dual standy
-CPU: Huawei Hisilicon K3533, 533MHz,could updated to 600MHz;
-2G ROM+2G bits RAM;
-Windows mobile system 6.5 and Android 2.2(Optional)
-GSM EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
-Support TF card up to 16GB;
-5.0M pixels wtih double cameras;
-WLAN/WI-FI 802.11b/g; *GPS Navigation;
-Support G-Sensor function;
-Support Microsoft Office word/excel/powerpoint etc and email;
-Support IM:MSN,SKYPE,facebook,twitter,OICQ,QQ etc;
-4.3inch WQVGA Touch screen,65,000colors,400x800 pixels;
-Connection:Bluetooth 2.0,WI-FI,EDGE,Active Sync and USB2.0;
-JAVA 2.0, GPRS class 10 and WAP2.0;
-Video Format:3GP,MP4,AVI,ASF,WMV,RM ect;
-Music Format:MP3,WMA,WAV,AMR,ect;
-Photo Format:Jpg,gif,png,BMP,Flash ect;
-Ringtone Format:MP3,WMA,AMR and WAV;
-2PCS Lithium-ion rechargeable Batteries:1650mAh/3.7V;
-Dimensions: 107x51x13mm, 128g weight
So, indeed the CPU is not a 1 GHz Snapdragon™-prosessor, but 533 Mhz Hisilicon. But look at the 2G ROM and 2 Gb RAM! Wonder if this is for compensating on the lower CPU?
But here is the thing. I am not a real "Flasher". I basically kept my Universal as-is, and installed a shell on top to have a new look. I started playing around with new ROMs just to improve the available memory on ROM and RAM.
The question is in this case if most of my WM5 apps will work on this Chinese phone? Second question is then, like "@latersooner" says, who on XDA can assist in flashing Chinese ROMs?
Maybe a suggestion could be to have a seperate entry on the forum list "Chinese clones" or something? Just an idea. I see that they are ahead of the competition in Europe, releasing both dual, 3 and 4 SIM phones, both Windows, Android and other (Symbian?).

Absolutely agree. Do your research first guys! There are some very interesting Chinese smartphones out there. If you're only looking for cheap imitation, yes, you're bound to be disappointed.
Having said that, China manufacturers are now starting to make dual sim Android smartphones with excellent specs. Only thing missing is 3G. Must say, I don't really miss it. 2G is fine for social media updates and email. Only for heavy surfing you need 3G.
I'm very pleased with the Flying Star FG8 I bought recently
I have a lot of information on chinese models star A2000, A1000, A5000 and will be making a thread shortly covering everything I know including rooting, fixes, roms and recovery.
i agree , this phone have bad speker and bad accesories
-.- so you need to buy acc agan
Chinese not-fake phones
I live in Africa. There's a brand that is very widespread here called TECNO - Chinese. Several of their phones run Android, the later models being the N3 and N7.
I bought an N3 out of curiosity - at $94 it did not seem to be a big risk. It supports 2 SIMs, one 3g, and the other vanilla. Seems to work OK as an Android phone (Gingerbread). My only real criticism is the camera, which tends to produce purple pictures in bright lighting.
It seems quite well made. I have been able to root it, and can get to it normally via ADB and Fastboot. I've written a few small applications and everything seems to work as expected. However, I have not been able to find a CWM recovery for it that works, and so far have not seen a ROM that claims to support 2 SIMS.
A single SIM phone is a liability here in Tanzania. There's one operator - Airtel - who can do 3G at a reasonable price, but their calls are expensive. The others are GSM, but what everyone you know uses for normal telephony.
So even if I could find a CWM recovery, and flash CyanogenMod, I'd be robbing myself. Why is the rest of the world stuck on this single SIM thing?
