I heard it was mostly yanked due to download issues and that it would be back up soon. Honestly who cares. Why would I want to load a T-Mobile ROM? It's going to be outdated compared to any custom ROM out there. Ya ya I know there are people out there that are to afraid to flash a custom rom because they are scared of losing their warranty. I have been flashing for a long time and even if you just so happen to brick the phone they are not going to know what you flashed to it. They will simple know it's a brick. They can't reboot it to find out what went wrong they simple see it as not working any longer and send out a replacement. If you ever have to send a working phone back it's not that hard to flash back to a stock ROM for service.

XDA would be your best bet. Make sure you do some reading before flashing and make sure the ROM has been built for T-Mobs HD2 .

You can find many custom TMOUS roms here.

I prefer Energy and Kumar, both good roms.

Personally I've been running the 2.13 release since it came out and it's great for me. It has given me, by far, the most battery time.

I also find NRG's rom to be a good rom with no issues. Though I can say I never really found an issue with the original stock. Granted it was only on the phone for the first week. It's great the stock rom works for you I just like to stay away from the bloat also pretty much any fix your going to find in a stock rom has most likely already been taken care of in a custom rom.

HTCPedia and XDA have a bunch of great ROM's to choose from...

Dutty and MIRI ROM's on HTCPedia are usually bug free and very professional ROM's.

ive been on tmo stock since i got the phone. best stock rom ive ever used, imo. ive tried a few customs & they were all slow, buggy, and drained my battery.
