[Q] Advice on HD2 Radio? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, well basically I am a total newbie to the HD2. I don't know very much about it. What I want to do is install android on my device. However, in order to do this i want to turn my ram space from 448mb to 512mb so the HD2 runs smother. I know this has something to do with changing the radio. Please can someone tell me how to check which radio I have on my device, and which one I have to install to get the full 512mb ram? Instructions?
I really do not want to change the default rom on the device because I want to leave it the way it is. All I want to do is change the ram from 448mb to 512mb without tempering with windows mobile? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

its a two part process, it needs a radio with ..50.. in the version, 2.06.50.x or higher, but it also needs a rom based on the tmous core, so either a cooked rom that is based on 2.x tmous rom, or a tmous stock rom.
(oh and it becomes 576 meg ram, not 512)

confusion

hello guys ,
sry for this question....wat is HTC HD2 TMous.....?????
Im having problems with my mobile for quite a while now and im looking for a new ROM and there are those with TMous......compatibility problems....
What does it means?
all the world has the 'regular' hd2, which has 448meg ram and 512 meg rom.
T Mobile USA (tmous) has 576 meg ram and 1024 meg rom.
Regular hd2 can use any radio, any rom, tmous hd2 can ONLY use radios with x.xx.50.xx in the version number. (But not 2.04.50.x and 2.05.50.x, they will also destroy tmous phones)
Any radio with x.xx.51.xx in the version will destroy the tmous.
Any roms not that do not say tmous compatible will not boot.
thanks a lot

[Q] Stock HD2 with 576MB RAM

Hey Guys,
I initally bought my HD2 last December which has 448mb of RAM which looking at the packaging was made in Tiwan (REV:A). After smashing last month my insurance company decided they was going to send me a new HD2 now it came with 1.66 installed but never decided to look at ram size but after upgrading to latest stock rom 3.14 it has 576mb Ram is this because i have HSPL2 on the device or have HTC decided to enable the "locked" ram?? I also noticed the stock rom came with Radio 2.15 which i was supprised about seen as most people won't need to **** around to get android running. This is REV:B made in CHINA also seems to have a different type of screen in it. Is this already know what i've mentioned or of any interest to anyone.
If you install the latest stock ROM 3.14 over HSPL you will see that your device indicate to have 576MB of RAM.
But at the same way you will only have +/- 50MB of free program memory!
So best is to remove HSPL and reinstall Stock ROM 3.14 without HSPL.

[Q] HD2 High program memory usage even with no running program

Hello guys,
I am from Singapore and this is the first time I post something, I hope someone can help me.
Recently my HD2 was faulty and I sent it to HTC, they replaced the motherboard and everything was OK, (so I tot), until I realized that, my phone is always on high program memory usage, with no program running. (see the pictures below)
I need help, please.
your total program memory is about 128 meg too low, it should be about 336 total with usually around 200 or so used, and 120 free. Do you have a pre production test model?
When you enter bootloader, what does your spl say? x.xx.xxxx
Hi Sam,
Thank you for the quick reply.
This HD2 is not a pre production model, I got it from a local telco.
So how do I increase the Total Mermory???
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
hmm so the spl is correct for the 3.14 rom, so it isn't that.
You can't increase the total memory, it is 336 meg (448 total minus 128 graphics) for a regular hd2, and thats it. There is no adjusting it.
Not really sure what to suggest, though I think my first step would be calling your telco(or htc, whoever you sent it to) and kicking up a fuss and getting a replacement.
I called up HTC, they told me it could be hardware fault, gotta send in for repair
ah, bit of a pain losing it again for a week, but better to let them replace it than you make it worse fiddling.
i gto my hd2 a week ago. it already had some ugly energy gtx costum rom on it. i flashed it with stock 3.14 rom that i downloadet directly from htc webpage. after this the phone had only around 60MB of RAM free. so i flashed the phone with rom on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610634 now i have around 300MB of RAM free when i start the phone. if i close all the apps, and disable htc sence its up to 330MB of ram free. on the official ROM 3.14 i also had only around 100MB of free internal storage. with this costom ROM its almost 200MB. and it still its stable has a greater htc sence then official rom. it has alot of apps alike rdc, mp3 trimmer... all you realy need.
So if you are not against flashing you can make your hd2 a great fast stable phone with lots or free ram and more internal storage then it was supposet to have out of the factory. oh and HD2 officialy has 448MB of RAM. But it also has 128MB hiden or locked or something... witht his ROM you have that 128MB unlocked so you have 576MB of ram.

Hi. I have Hspl 2 and 3.14 rom installed too, and the same problem with memory: The system shows a total program memory of 208.8 mb and a huge memory usage with no running programs. In the hardware info the ram appears correct: 512 mb. Is this a bug of 3.14 rom? and if so is there a solution?

its well discussed in loads of threads. any spl/hspl except 3.03.0000 will cause this with 3.14 roms. simple as that, no workaround. only way to get 3.14 on a branded phone (until o2 give us a 3.14 rom,,,,, next summer,,,) is goldcard.

don't confuse hspl3 with spl 3.03.0000
no, you can't fix the spl without flashing.
Sorry, but I'm noob, and I'm getting a little confused...
So, the solution for run 3.14 rom in a branded phone without bugs as the memory one, is first update hspl to v3.03.0000, and then flash the 3.14 rom, isn't it?
its use a goldcard. that's it.
both those steps you mention are part of the same process, not separate.

Does it mean that when you install a 3.14 rom, hspl is automatically updated to v 3.03?

Yes sir spl will be updated.
And where should appear that hspl version number? If I soft-reset pushing volume down, I find this info:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.66.HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x38
but I can't see HSPL version 3.03 anywhere.

Sir like mentioned before you need to remove HSPL before installing stock ROM 3.14!
HSPL and stock ROM 3.14 (spl 3.03) isn't compatible.
Your solution is to flash a ROM from the HTC website, and since you have an O2 branded phone, then you need to download the 1.72 O2 ROM. Now your SPL will be 1.66.0000. You will need to do a bit of reading on how to do GoldCarding, then you can flash the 3.14 ROM.

[Q] Flashing TMOUS ROM to EUROPEAN HD2

Hello,
Yesterday I came across an interesting ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791303
Unfortunately, it's prepared for American HD2s. I asked the cooker if he could make a version for European HD2 but he says he hopes his rom works on both types of devices. I like this rom very much but I wouldn't like to brick my LEO. Can I flash it?
at your own risk ! I think it's not a good idea
tmous roms should work perfectly well on regular hd2. (how do you think the 576 ram gets unlocked on a regular hd2? tmous rom and radio) its only tmous users that cant use regular roms.
It's strange because european hd2 haven't 1024 of rom !
so? the tmous roms are only around teh same size (200 or so meg) as a regular rom, you dont flash the extra empty space, whatever is left just gets left as empty storage space.
Guys, thanks for your answers. I flashed the TMOUS ROM to EU HD2 with success. Everything works!

[Q] - Energy ROM x Radio

I'm using 15 Mar Energy Rom Cookie 2.0.
My problem is: RAM SIZE = 448mb and NOT 576mb...
I'm using RADIO 2.15.50.14 of Ship rom.
Somebody know how i get full memory (576) on Energy Rom?
Don't mistake total useable ram with total hardware ram.
576 total minus 128 for the graphics chip leaves 448 for winmo to use.
If you were on standard rom it would be 448 minus 128 leaving 336 for winmo.
You must already have a correct radio else the rom wouldn't boot.
When i flash ORIGINAL ROM, PHONE INFORMATION show 576...
When flash Energy, show 448...
why?

3.14 rom with 2.08.hspl by any chance? 576 total ram, 200 useable, plus unstable phone?
When i've flashed original ROM, i had the 1.66 HSPL!
To flash energy i'm using HSLP4.
Screenshots please, and which stock rom?(full filename please) and you can't say " I used 1.66 hspl for this and hspl4 for that", it makes no sense, hspl4 includes 1.66hspl, so it tells us nothing, a bit like saying "I go to work in a Honda, but i come home in a car",, both mean the same thing.
I've no screenshots...
Rom name: RUU_Leo_S_HTC_PTG_3.14.410.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship

With this rom, phone information show 576mb! By default, my HSLP = 1.66. To flash energy, i've flashed HSPL4.
My phone is a WWE and i've instaled this PT rom. If you don't believe, try yourself!
Sorry for English and thx for help!

You need to have 2.08HSPL for 576 RAM.My guess is that you have 3.03HSPL.I also use Energy ROM and I have 576 RAM.
You say " default is 1.66 hspl, but you cannot run 3.14 roms on 1.66, you get memory errors, and the rom update code error was you flashing the wrong rom from SD car.
Giraff -> I will try it!
Samsamuel -> I'm having memory problems, and i didn't know why this...
Now i know! =] kkk
With 3.14 and HSPL 1.66 sometimes when i open cam, memory error.
Thx for help Giraff and Samsamuel
I will come back later to give feedback.
>edit
I've flashed 2.08 and it's OK!
See attachment! 576 of ram!
Thx Giraff and samsamuel
