is this new (android os install onto htc hd2) youtube vid legit? - HD2 General

looks like they posted a new you tube vid last night. the 20th of june. not sure if yall seen this. funny thing is..seems you have to do a lengthy survey just to download it...which seemed shadey..but then they mention having to download HSPL first which,when clicked, sends you to this site to download..then..you install the android os..and supposedly able to reverse it if you want windows back on. they claim it's a beta but it's very stable. could somebody (whose more tech worthy then myself) check this out before i try it and make a complete ass of myself? thanks! being a new user, i can't post the you tube video address but just type in "install google android os onto tmobile htc hd2" in the you tube search bar and it should take you there.

just in case... i think its fake , hopefully im wrong

it looks pretty elaborate to be a fake, but it does seem strange. all the comments on youtube were posted at the same time (says 3 hrs ago for me) I would hold out on this for sure. But if it is real then sweet.

i agree, it would be a MAJOR breakthrough.it would be even sweeter if someone could bypass us having to do that survey and just go str8 for the download! ....and thanx for posting the youtube link. ;-)

DONT WORK

thanks TM for that thread.i'm feeling a little disappointed now...i'm normally a gentle bear who forgives those who have done wrong..but since me and everyone else has been waiting for something like this, i kind of want to rip that dudes arm off and beat him with it. if it was april 1st..so be it. but it's not.

Its a total fake, tried to comment on the video and its waiting approval looks like they are filtering out the negative comments calling it a fake.

I did some research, this is the closest thing to it so far.

video of someone performing surgery on their HD

Hi just happened to find this video of someone performing surgery on thier HD, seemed really well done, and was extremely helpfull, just thought I'd post the link, so if anyones contemplating this, get yourself the service manual, which you can hear him referring back to every now and then and have a go......
Oh follow the links in the side bar for another video on putting the sucker back together, (as that's generally where I traditionally fall down)
http://www.vimeo.com/7623264
Reallly I'm thankful to you v.v.v.much this was v.v.v.v.useful in my position and really I don't know what can I say except thank you
There is another video: http://vimeo.com/6892707
All these videos come from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462102
And I recommend looking through that thread before doing anything!
Ummmmm, have allready done it...., went off without a hitch, though am waiting for info on place to source parts.....Specifically the motherboard, as I'm hearing whispers that this is the issue with my HD, I've posted some long winded desciptions of the problems in other threads, and it seems as though, me just going and ordering another screen / digitizer part off Ebay and whacking it in expecting it to work again is or could be wrong...?, as I said in the description, "putting the sucker back together again is generally where I go wrong with these things", so I 'll read through any and all of the info / threads I can find before doing so...., Thanks for the help....!!

To all frequent Questioneers - Please Read First!!

I have noticed in a couple of threads that there seems to be a large amount of, shall i say, lazy people.
Neglecting to use the search function, disrespecting others who are fed up answering the same questions again and again.
It seems they can't (or are simply to lazy to) read, use the search button or even common sense
Well i recall a small little flash movie i saw once upon a time on the steam forums. After a little searching with my mate GOOGLE i found it again.
No Reason for lazy people now No Reading involved, just sit back and watch this little "movie"
Ok, ok before anyone starts flaming me with crap like (but thats about the steam forums blabla) The Information affects every forum as everyone of them also has a search function
It's a bit to big to post here, but i guess even the newest noob knows how to use a link
http://www.ptokax.ch/posting.html
Hopefully we can keep the Threads a little bit less bloated now ?!?
hmm 105 views and not a single reply (good or bad)
i must of hit the spot then looks like a few here got a bad conscience? hehe
b e a u t i f u l
Is it ok if I add this to my signature??
ive said this before and ended up getting flamed by angry noobs accusing me of being "elitist"
Great video!!
!! Do I have permission to post on other forums? I'm admin. on several, lmk, Thanks,, I will give you credit,,,,Quig
that is the best think i have seen on the internet. KUDOS
Nice and certainly CLEAR!
tks
indeed feel free to use
Good hearty belly laugh!
A bit before my time but, all that film needed was an old lady
at an organ and an usher with a flashlight. Maybe even an
couple of old men yelling from the balcony!
No really, it was great.
Keep up the good work!
Wonderful & Entertaining!
This is a very useful and entertaining film - it would be great if you could make it required watching with every new registration.
I believe the REAL issue is that people don't know how to best perform searches by utilizing keywords. Say I'm having an issue with my z plantronics bluetooth headset on my HTC HD2 Leo phone - providing all the relevant search terms, model numbers, etc an including "xda dev" (or other forums) can put you where you need to be better than "plantronics headset". And using googles image link can help you determine your model - a picture is worth a million web pages. My, hopefully relevant, contribution.

You guys are wicked smart!

I've had the HD2 for about a week now, and you posts on this website have been so useful and the artwork so stunning that I have been able to completely mod the look of the phone in just a few days, not to mention solving some tech problems(see my posts under Q&A). I can't wait to see what you will come up with when you have a fully functional ver. of Android for this phone. You guys affirm the notion-- where there is a problem--there is a solution. When Newton was asked how he came up with the laws of motion his reply was-- "by thinking on the problem".
Nice Post
giving credit where credit is due ....should be more of it
And now that you know what you have learnt you will be the teacher so what goes around comes around
Kudos to you

winmo phones would be nothing without this community
xdadevelopers is simply amazing, and quitly brilliant?

The reason why chinese dont share the rom with your guys

When i saw this, i may stand up and say something

I was able to register, but not to find something useful. I had a good laugh tho... (@ the google translation of their site) xD
In my country, we have the similar problem, we dont know who has the rom, as far as we know is the tow videos released on the internet show us that our HD2 can really run the WP7. the individuals there are still waiting for the news, be patient, if there's any news of wp7 ON HD2 from xda.cn, i will notice you guys.
ok?
thanks woion0415, this is much appreciated
Thanks alot woion0415. Now go and find that ROM for us!!
Ok good to know, but why they don't share with us? I think atm they don't share with anyone, as there is no download at xda.cn.. No one says Russian don't share with us, only because Cotulla didn't release MagLdr to public yet so I don't think it would be helpful to post such offensive threads..
I don't think there is a flashable rom. I heard that they just have one of the test hd2s Microsoft flashed to developed wp7. Someone else said that the hd2 was flashed with wp7 with a jtag flasher, so if either of those are the case, which I'm beginning to suspect, there is no rom and may not be for a while. I would think that if there was a rom, somebody would've gotten whole of it or atleast know something about it.

Please do not let the fellow who wrote the derogatory post bother anyone. Even if he was joking, his way of thought is not indicative of the quality of people on XDA-Developers. Best thing to do is just ignore ignorant posts.
With that said, it will be fun watching to see who now comes up first with a working Windows Phone 7 ROM. Now that is what I would call healthy national competition!
thanks for the understanding
i must confess that i am not surf the net often, and i will not always focus in this title, but when i know any news from XDA.cn, i will come and tell the news. not for the few people who wrote derogatory post but the big family.
yah none of us users have a flashable rom, while we should be patient and wait.
and, thx to cottula&other developers who made it possible to run wp7 on hd2
by now, no flashable WP7 on HD2 rom released from xda.cn.....
i think there must be some reasons for them decide to do so.
the guys on xda.cn are also waiting for this.
I'm from chinese,as we konws,all of chinese are waiting for the rom.....
Thank for all of your informations, it's good to see people who can help us to anderstand.
In my opinion it's a global waiting
the video of wp7 run on hd2 come from a businessman ,as we can know from the sound in the video 。the day when the rom will release is hard to know
You say before it was meizu, but why, what interest for them to do that ?
fake
its fake !!! if you see the video look at the app is from 6.5wm , its just a shell no wp7 , we must wait cotulla

such a mature thing to say...
and yes, lame joke as it is.
no wp7 rom,its a joke。。。
a Bag full of Thankness and Pleasure to the author :
Thank you for posting a bad image of us at their site (xda.cn) Now even there is a thread talking about the foreigner who went to the chinese website and registered but he didn't find what he was looking for, thus he called them fake and selfish ... you are now the talk of the chinese .. So they said that others think chinese aren't communist !! and they hated us .. you can see wonderful posts about us in this thread : bbs.xda.cn/thread-96523-3-1.html enjoy your journy.
A Little note,
when you want to express some feelings, try to make them individual and not to contain others with your thoughts
And btw neither us nor them have a flashable ROM, they are just like us, waiting anxiously for the release !
Please stop posting comments that it is fake, unless you can prove it.. This is only confusing to people.. For me this is like when cotulla posted a video of WP7 booting, I looked every day after it until I realized that it wouldn't come in near future.. Now we don't even know if it (chinese ROM) is for real, so calm down it's done when it's done..

New Android Website! Need Feedback! Please

Hi, I am working on a new site with some of my buds...
Since we all have HD2's lol we will start here. The plan for this site is to help you with your android hacking. Like I said we will start with the HD2 for right now but eventually expand a whole lot. We want to have Android latest news and phones, help the community out. Maybe have forums eventually for other android devices in the future. Who knows where this idea will take us, but we want to focus on helping out the community. In no way we will be competing with XDA, but for Newbies is not easy reading thru all these phorums; or they are just lazy lol. We currently have a writer, graphic designer and a Mod freak to start things off. We want to know what you guys think, feel free to discuss and overall: What would you like to see on the site?
The site shall be called WWW.ANDROID4LIFE.COM and it goes live real on 3-1-11
You can preview the site now! Here: http://www.wix.com/casademipadre777/android4life
Leave comments/questions/concerns/feedback/ ++++++
Thank you!
Very good site. Fantastic for beginners. Layout is easy to see and format throughout is good. Continuity also good.
One thing I will mention is that the transition effects between pages may be a burden for some older legacy computers and people running a a poor connection. Perhaps having a feature to avoid this would be good.
Good work man

Thanks. I'm glad you like the concept, and you are right... Pure Html sites are better but they lack on data stability, which is why we are using more flash sites. Besides they are more simple and I am a flash freek lol. This site is more for our generation and you need a good internet connection jaja! But we do have a link to update your browser flash player, we hope that helps some people. I really appreciate your feedback and trust me your suggestion is kept
it appears like its a NAND flashing method you are building here
you should specify that, as we know the other method is via SDCard in Winmo 6.5
also you should highlight the importance of the very basic and foremost first step of all
flashing HSPL3 (2.08HSPL)
then, MAGLDR
then everything else follows.
just my polite suggestion, very nice website BTW

Thanks jigners, we are thinking of adding a seperate tab for the SD Method for those that follow. But you got it right we are Emphasizing the Nand method. We will talk about this in the Video Tutorials along with all these major important steps, thanks!
Asshhhh.
Oeh, ok i try start at first things. It will be hard for you to understand but i give my best.
Never ever dont think this way - i have new and good pc (laptop, tab or smartphone) and my friends have too. So i create website, fun yes.
Real life is other. 65% people use older pc-s. Even more, think if someone goes to this site with hd2 and winmo, what and how he then see this page. This ugly and today outstanding flash IS NOT good way make good website. I'm serious.
REMAKE IT NOW.
About design.
I liked it. Littlebit mottled but not hurt everyone.
Site visitors counter today also out. Just place it bottom and hide for itself only.
I recommend to you get better some php based cms and attach your design. Then your site will be gotten on fly. With hd2 winmo and 3G. As you want bring beginners to site.
And one hint more. Think again about site content and main idea. Why? Week ago i seen on HTC site HD2, today not.
I dont want claim or blame you. Just these opinions i got whe i looked to this site. I thinked itself many times that hd2 needs some special site for helping xda devs work better and not waste time for threads named like these examples just gotted at this forum: [Q]Help needed Please, problems, HELP!

I understood some and thanks, we will work on making a back up for those that use older pc's lol. Thanks for the tips too, the datat that flash sites produce is awesome. The "visitor counter" feature that you mentioned is built in on the url as soon as you click it, the features of flash sites. We certantly want this to help people and make it easier to see, thanks... I hope we don't become like that site that you mentioned, that just disapeared lol...

In "Download" page you put only NAND builds. I think, links to some modern SD builds also must be present on download page.
