You'll get it eventually, with a litte sweat and hard work "magic sprinkles" you will have an HD2 running native Android.
Remember to share it with us tho, we will praise you, give thanks to you and of course you will be freaking famous..
great new years to you too!!!

people like this make me sad..... too stupid to read anything, and too helpless to go look for it themselves.
epic fail, you lose one million human points.

this is something that should've been asked on the android Q&A section, not here!
is been asked a million times and it's still not possible, and if you're hopeless with the search buton, how do you expect to be able to do something as complex as work a rom into nand!!

that was very helpful
thank for your hard work
you should have left a link for donation man!

windows phone 7 on sd

Is there any chance to have wp7 on the sd and keeping 6.5 on the nand ?

no
there have to be an sd wp7 and this isn't possible yet

This question has been asked a gazillion times...
Once it would be available, you can be sure you´ll find it here at xda within the shortest time possible...

emh sorry ! didn't know that was a frequently asked questions......
By the way I do know that cotulla was working on 6.5 on sd but not on 7 on sd....is that someone who is workinf on 7 on sd ?

This is also in wrong forum, This is the dev forum, for "devs" posting "dev" work, not for posting "questions", thats what the "Q&A" forum is for

Nope not possible, and wrong fourm buddy, next time post in the Q&A

yes sorry for wrong forum ( I have selected wrong and I didn't notice..) ... maybe a moderator can moove the discussion.
Why isn't possible ? It's for some technical problem ?

I don't know if it's impossible, but it's very unlikely to happen. The way that wp7 uses SD cards would probably make it hard... also, if it was possible, I'm sure cotulla would say he's trying to do it, but he and no one else is trying as far as I know.

The reason why it's not that possible for now is cause windows 7 use's the SD
Card as memory therefore the reason why you can't just remove you sd while you have windows 7 on your phone because it might mess up alot of stuff.

Happily moved to Q&A.

mhm I see..very sad by the way...I was thinking that maybe it could use as "memory card" a second partition but I suppose that can't be done...
By the way there are any news about the chance of 6.5 on the memory card ? I knew that cotulla was working on it but I have never understand if eventually we would be able to put on memory card the same 6.5 rom that we use today on nand or if new specif rom would be needed..

It would be a special wm6.5 rom for SD. There's no guarantee that cotulla will be successful with this, or how long until he releases if he is.

Go to the HTC website and flash the latest stock ROM 3.14 for HD2. After this all you need to do is download a ROM from the SD Android section, place the Android folder on the root of your SD card (i.e. not in any folders), go to file explorer, in Android run CLRCAD and then HaReT.

Luckily I'm on O2 UK so I may be able to attach it. I've never tried this though so sorry if it doesn't work.
You tell me if it worked.
EDIT: clearly it didn't. You can try this one though.

Ok, i think it´s not possible.

it sounds like you haven't flashed a rom yet.
You can get to magldr menu by switching on, then holding down the end call button.

Thank you for this thread.
I own and maintain 2 HTC HD2s (T-Mo edition), and both have been using custom Android NAND-based ROMs ever since I got the phones. The issue is that with time, there are more and more random bugs and reboots. Like a ROM suddenly crashing and rebooting, and upon reboot some programs are missing (needs a reboot or a reboot + Dalvik clear to fix), or other strange stuff happens such as available internal memory suddenly jumps to zero (that one only happened once). I feel like despite my best attempts to do clean installs, something's been accumulating and messing things up.
For reference, I have been using SuperWipe as of late, but while it does free up more internal space, it still does not help. My go-to ROM has been Gingerbread MIUI, which has been smooth and stable, but even with that ROM my phones have been crashing a lot lately and exhibiting various bad behavior. I've tried Gingerbread ROMs as well as 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.4 variants so far over time and have changed internal partition sizes accordingly.
What is the best course of action here? I'm thinking complete wipe and reinstall of everything from scratch. Does that mean I need to reflash HSPL and start from there? It's been a while since I've done that, so I'm trying to remember all the steps. Any general suggestions or ideas about what might be causing the increasingly aberrant behavior?

Hi Photoelectric,
I can only assume that you suffer from bad NAND blocks caused by too many flashings and/or bad a flash. Maybe this points you to a direction where you can check for yourself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189544
A tutorial how to check is included in the first post. If bad blocks are the cause of your problems I assume that setting up your ROMs as NativeSD circumvents your phones bad behaviour. @Robbie P, kuzibri, rirozizo am I right?
Kind regards
Getrid …

It could be bad blocks causing Photoelectric's problems, it would be good to find out where they are in nand and increasing the size of the partition they reside in.
if using clk see second post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279582
if using mgldr, after switching off android, go to magldr menu/services/dmesg to sd and look at file dmesg.txt on sdcard. Somewhere in there there may be reference to bad blocks and what partition they are in, post dmesg.txt here if in doubt.

Fair enough , as for android, you will need an sdcard. A lot of your media, music, pictures etc is stored on the sdcard. Assuming you have an international HD2 (not tmous), most recent roms require an ext4 partition on the sdcard too.
As for broken/outdated links, there may well be mirrors posted in the threads too (search thread for "mirror"). Some people still have certain roms on hdd, so try to post on the thread for a mirror (you have <10 posts, so your post will be redirected to new q&a thread, but we will still see it). Some Devs have requested in the first post that no mirrors be posted for their roms, there is not a lot we can do about that besides asking them for a policy change.
Hope this helps
