Hi, you will first need to "root" the phone, basically the process which gives you FULL access to your device, you are then able to install a rom of your choosing. A gtood place to start is in the following article, which describes exactly the process of rooting your handset.

Any questions, just ask.
Does anybody know if the Google Ion version of the phone needs to be rooted? The instructions that came in the box suggest that it's possible to install new roms without any hacking because it's a device intended for developers.

Make sure you type the command exactly as written, do not mix back slash and forward slashes, and it will also be case sensitive. If your still having problems power the device down and back up to allow it to remount sd.
thanks, but same problem.
Done step 11. then reboots OK,
tried for Step 12 and keep getting "Access denied", never type anything, only "cut/paste" to avoid possible typing errors.
also tried putting into Fastboot mode (with skateboarders) , this is no use as 'device not found".
any further suggestions? or more simple step-by-step
I am a newbie on this. I got a HTC Magic last week as an upgrade, and was wondering what good mods are out there? I love tweaking OS's and hacking etc, I just don't know anything about htc's. Any good tips or advice?
READ READ READ READ! There is alot to learn with this os. The more you read the more you will understand. It is easy to brick these phones if you dont know what your doing.
1) Root
2) Play with stable ROMS first.
3) set up teether
4) Themes again play with stable themes first
Thoses are good starters

I read and searched a lot on the forum before posting this.
1/ Why is there 1000 methods to flash a ROM?
2/ Do I need to do a partition in all cases?
3/ Is there a ROM for 32A that adds multi touch to my device?
4/ Might be a lot to ask but why is there no PROPER tutorial on how to install a ROM?
5/ Can I brick my phone?
Thanks for your time.
This is not a development question. This belongs in the Q&A section. Read the stickies. From those stickies, you would also see a Hacking Wiki for the sapphire.
Read that.

I use MyHero 1.1.3 (32A with BFS 303 kernel) and multitouch DOES work. But it needs to be supported by the software, works great in the browser for example.
Ok good to know, i was not quite sure about it

Erm .. there's only one way to flash a rom ..
- Download rom and copy it to the sd card root folder
- Boot into recovery
- Do a nandroid backup
- wipe
- Flash the new rom
- reboot

Look at the link in my signature, has all the detail an Android newbie needs.
Also check the Sapphire hacking wiki as bcrook mentioned above.
And use the forum search button!

Thats what I was thinking too
and my fav question out of the list:
Can I brick my phone?
Let me answer this one... from your list of questions I find it hard to believe you even know what "brick" means (no offense) but you should NOT even attempt to change anything about your phone except for whats in the menu>settings>sounds/display area
and I'll say it again no offense but people like this that have no idea what their doing is why the companies are so against us gaining root access because yeah theres some of us that understand what we are doing and the concept of linux but then you have these people that have NO CLUE then screw their phones up and guess who they call... not the dev, but the company crying about how they need a new phone...
Bottom line is if you dont know what you doing, DONT DO IT!

forgiveme for my ignorance friends do you mean if I removed sd card android still will work. but i feel its some what slow working as if running from sd card
hrhr, stop drinking, weekend is almost over
..and yes there are versions, which dont need sd card
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Which version dose not need SD card please
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Dearest drammehd2
to make things clear... you can run winmo 6.5 which comes initially with your HD2 and put android on your SD card and load it from there, or you replace winmo with MAGldr and flash an android NAND to your HD2. Also, you can flash WM7 now to your HD2 with MAGldr... and and and...
Seems like you haven't looked around at all... so start reading!

If we don't understand then how can we help? From what you've written, it seems to me that you have Android on SD card but you want to remove Windows and have Android on your phone instead (not the SD).
Is this correct?
If it is then you have had your answer.

If this is not correct then you need to explain again, as we obviously don't understand.
so i got an HD2 device i'v just recived.
its currently working with the windows rom i belive,
i really dont like this rom, it does not support my home langugage (hebrew),and it is quit complicated.
as it seems i am new to the HTC devices and i am here to ask for help as an HTC noob,
i want to change my rom to an android rom wich will support all the things i need like music,apps (whatsapp,facebook,games and any kind of application that a smartphone should be able to run), camera, videos and more,
i found lots of roms here and guids, but as an noob those guides are really not understandable and really make my head hurt, lol.
could some one explain to me step by step how to make my lame windows phone to an modern awesome android phone?
thanks very much, yoni.

Please read the guide in my sig that says 'a guide to all of the terms for the HD2', it has everything you need to know about this sort of stuff. After that either use mengfei's guide or the second guide in my sig which explains the flashing process.
