First, you didn't read the rules, because there is a sticky at the top of this forum saying to post questions into the hd2 q&a forum.
Second, you don't need to flash a radio unless you want to. Just make sure you flash a ROM that says TMOUS compatible and uses a .50 radio.
Third, most of the custom ROMs come with swype, if not there are cabs around you can use. But flashing a ROM wipes everything but the radio and the storage card.

>EXTREMELY SORRY IF SIMILAR THREAD EXISTS I SEARCHED ALOT N MAY HAVE FAILED TO FIND IT<
Check the post of the ROM you want. There must be a list of compatible Radios. Usually x.xx.50.xx radios work with all ROMS, but I suggest you check it in the ROM thread.

Thanks in advance
I have a 1024 leo I want to try different roms on my leo.
I can't tell what official rom is the one i have, my rom version is 2.13.531.1 (90963) wwe. Can someone tell my where to download this rom.
Thanks
ok, so by far the most important thing to get you started is to say you are in the regular hd2 section. the tmous (t mobile us) hd2 has its own section because it has compatibility issues compared to the regular hd2.
go to and bookmark this link, and start reading.

Hi this is my first post on this forum, I have read alot and i tried to run android on my HD2 but i found out that my radio was too low for the requirements.
My question is if I update my firmware from HTC itself... will it update my radio aswell? I don't know what rom to download from HTC as there are so many.
Here are some few details of my HD2:
OS Version: 5.2.21864
Manila Version: 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version: 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE
Rom date: 10/26/09
Radio Version: 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version: 15.26.50.07U
Flash size: 512mb
How can I run android on this phone and how can I get an official update as I have no trust in unofficial updates.
THANK YOU
its a regular hd2, or a telstra hd2. either way, none of the official updates for it contain a high enough radio for android..
where did people get the stock roms then? and whats the best way to get android on my phone by just running it on SD and how can i just patch just the radio and is it only the radio that needs to get patched?
they get stock roms from the thread in rom development called "leo official roms". but as i said, i'm pretty sure android needs a radio of 2.10.50 or so to work best, and the x.x.50 radios come from the tmous roms, so you would need to hspl to flash those radios..
your best option rather than asking here is to go read the android section. there are a few "how to"s in there will tell you all about it.

Hi im a noobie (from Old XDA 2I) with a HTC HD2 (Original T Mobile ROM) so after a few months I thought I would try a New/Upgrade ROM saying I had played around with the old XDA quite a bit. So I downloaded RUU_Le2_UK_143.206.4_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.o7U_ 2.04.50.22_2.ship.exe ROM and also HardSPL_3 I successfully installed Hardspl_3 but when I try to Flash the O2 rom I get up to 80% and then have the error ERROR[302] : UPDATE ERROR
I have tried about 6 times to go through the recovery but I still get the same error

[Q] Noobie with a few Questions
Have my HD2 now working after thinking I had bricked my New HD2. Thanks for all the help, by the way.
I downloaded a O2 Stock Rom and when flashing it reached 80% and died and would not flash at all and kept booting to the Tri colour Boot screen so I then downloaded a TMO stock rom and used that and its now OK ish.
I have a TMO unlocked HD2 using Winmo 6.5 with the O2 provider, So it still boots with the T Mobile screens and tries to use the TMO Walk and Web for internet connection. I manually input the O2 Settings into My ISP and I can get onto the net through this. Phone, Email and SMS work fine with O2
Some more new questions?
1) Can I not use a O2 Rom on the TMO unlocked HTC HD2 phone?.
2) Can I flash the HD2 with a Custom Rom
3) If I can What would the best stable rom to Flash with.....!!!!

1) if you used HSPL (normally yes) but way you will do it? I mean except some parameters its the same!?
2) Yes way not!?
3) Energy ROM ore Artemis ROM are very good.
Only problem is Artemis ROM use the latest stock ROM 3.14 (There isn't a 3.14 UK T-Mobile stock ROM available yet, so you need to use the Goldcard technique)
Ow, no matter witch custom ROM you choose, reed and follow the install instructions mention on there threads.

Yes you can, but why would you want to? HSPL the phone, then flash it it the HTC 1.66WWE ROM. This is basically the 1.72 ROM that the operators brought out, but without all the guff that the operators add in.
I have a 1.66WWE ROM with a T-Mobile UK HD2. Everything works as it should and it is stable.

Again, yes you can. But please read, and then reread, the chef's instructions. They will tell you if you if their ROM is suitable for your phone, if you need to HSPL (or Gold Card or SSPL) it and what Radio ROM is suitable for it.

The HTC 1.66WWE ROM is very stable for me, along with the 2.15 RADIO. As for custom ROMs, then go to the custom ROM section and have a good read.
Thanks Fed-UP..
This is all strange to me as I owned a XDA2I for about 6 years. Thanks to this site I could make that dance and had quite a few Progs working that a few people could not.
I even purchased a few spare or repair XDA's off EBay and had three working by mixing and matching
Miss it really. But out with the old.
But again thanks for all your help. Clearest concise reply I have had to-date.

Hello, downloaded a WinMo 28244 build for my HD2 and imported in OsKitchen along with a v3.14 ROM WWE. So will my cooked ROM work on HSPL or do I have to select some other base ROM to work on HSPL?? I dont want to cook a ROM which needs SPL 3.03 to work since I have HSPL and I enjoy it..

way not SPL 3.03? nothing wrong with that.
Just use SSPL_RUU.exe for installing it and all is fine.
SPL 3.03 is working fine so do also Radio 2.15.50.14.
Edit way opening two threads with the same question? and adding the same question in a third thread? I mean ons will be enough no?
and just a question about the WM build. Way you choose the 28244 build instead of 29007? just a question.
@ OP,
This is now your main thread. The duplicates have been closed. Good luck with getting help with your question.

Didn't know exactly where to create this thread.. Whether in Q&A or in Chefs' section. Moving on, read many posts stating that 28244 build has better battery life. Please feel free to suggest me any other build which has advantages over it may those be performance wise or visually. Also, I prefer HSPL as it gives more control on flashing 'Splash Screens' or 'Radio' separately. So again, will I be able to use 3.14 with HSPL without the SPL 3.03 without any performance issues?? Or should I choose another base ROM to start with?

Thank you
Build 2905 and 2907 are very stable and fast. (I don't have the impression that thy consume a lot.)
But personally if you would use the latest stock ROM 3.14 I would more suggest you SSPL than HSPL.
Honesty the included radio is good, spl 3.03 (beside the fact it isn't compatible with HSPL) is okay, and about the Splash screen, pff well what to say, peoples used there phone if it's turn on, the splash screen is a fraction of a moment that you will see it, and peoples don't wait to have a nice splash screen but preferring a nice, stable and fast ROM.
Thanks Kurt for your input. I will have to consider these points as well
