So far you can NOT run Android from the NAND, there is a few ROM's that are built very very light and will allow you to boot straight to Android such as NRGZ |LEO|Android ROM|, there is also XTarantula Android: EClair (senseless) and then you have darkstone HD2Froyo v1, which is just the android files you place on you're sd card, so far personally the best version I have used, and finally my personal faveourite as this rom allows you to change your'e android build ChuckyDroidROM 23128 works very well woth darkstone HD2Froyo v1
Ok so this is all I could find at the min, but i'll keep it updated
Also if you could change youre thread to [solved] it can drop down to the bottom and we can link it in here so we are a bit more organised

Nice thread got a question..
Has anyone gotten their hd2 bricked yet?

Asking this because I don't have hspl lmao.. Kinda stupid if you ask me but I currently don't have internet connection on my pc..

you cant brick it using android it runs from haret, all the files ar eon ur sd card, but 99% of the time u do need to change ur radio, and from what I have read custom roms are the way forward to using Android hope this helps

yep i fully bricked my hd2 and couldnt turn it on at all. i had the stock rom and build at the time, and accidentally flashed an international rom to a us tmobile device. i learned not to flash anything below 2.08 spl or its considered international and will brick ur device.
Every single android theme i have put on my phone has worked no longer then about 2 days then starts acting up i know that the android project is a work in progress but damn i keep seeing ppl post stuff like this is the most stable theme and etc..............but once you put it on ur phone it starts to act up with in about 24hrs if that point blank when i was using the windows roms atleast my phone was stable enough with this android stuff i canT win at all
What kind of probs are you having and maybe someone can help. Many are using Android as a daily build with no problems like me. Give us your exact setup and be specific about your problems.
If android themes cause you problems then stop using them.

That's really helping.........
I've been using android as my main on the hd2 since I got it. I've not had any problems (other than low battery, but that's mostly fixed now). If you need some help you're gonna have to specify what exactly the problem is. Have you tried updating the kernel or radio?

Takes a long time and does not boot into andriod..
I have this problem with booting into andriod. Currently, my HTC HD2 is running on dutty's family rom V3. I have already formatted my SD card using the SD formatter tool. Then I have placed all the required files into the SD card. For the first time booting into andriod, it is relatively smooth, roughly taking about 2 to 3 minutes to boot. I am using Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution [kernel:hastarin R7.7]. After I switch off my phone and turn on my phone again, I run clrcad and haret, it gets stuck at the booting up screen with the green HTC symbol. I have to take out the battery again, reformat the sd card and repeat the same process. Could anyone help me with this problem??
OS version: 5.2.23142(23142.5.3.10)
Manila Version: 2.5.20191914.0
ROM: Duttys HD2 ML Family Rom (V3) WWE
Radio Version: 2.12.50.02_2
Protocol version 15.40.50.07U
i got the same problem , some one gave me a link to do before installing android
this is the link i got
http://leoandroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=182
But i tried , doesn't work as i wanted, every time i need to format reinstall folders etc etc...
if some one can help us, please let us know what to do
Here's what's on my tmousa phone;
Winmo - Ozrom 4.4
Radio - 2.15
Android - Mdeejay_eVo_Sense_v._1.0_Warm
I use an 8gm class 6 SD, I was using the stock 16gb class 2 but found the class 6 much much faster.
I really don't have any major problems, everything I need seems to work just fine, I only rarely stress it out and have to force a reboot. I did format the SD from within windows, no sure if that matters but it's always seemed to work for me and I figured the phone should know what it wants to see.
i recently purchased HTC HD2 phone that comes with windows mobile 6.5.
I don't have a problem with it but some friends praised Android. I tried froyo on my sd card but it didn't work very well. it crashed and didn't load properly. Then someone told me that i've to remove windows mobile and install android fresh.
Can anyone suggest if android runs well on htc hd2? will i be able to use camera, phone, wifi, data, gps with android? But primarily it should work like any phone out there, after all its a phone.
Go to the HD2 Android Dev forum. There should be AmeriCanDroid.
That's a good stable build that I'm using.
SD base.
As far as I remember, AmeriCanDroid is for US T-Mobile users. If you use european version then I would suggest trying ROMs by Rafdroid (it's of course only my suggestion, but his ROMs are most stable for me.)
go to android NAND development and search for the stickies. there is a link which show a lot of android builds.
you can choose by yourself what kind of android you prefer (sense builds, stock froyo, gingerbread etc.) just give it a try
I´m personally on typhoons cm7 which runs really great.
but do i have to remove my existing windows mobile on my htc hd2?
will i be able to sync all my contacts, text messages with android?
Android works with google, so you can put the contacts in your gmail and it will sync with android on the telephone. Text messages wont work as far as I know
Just like the other people say, take a look in the android nand section and read the sticky's, they tell you everything you need to know.
I'm on the HyperDroid and works great
read thist thread, it will help you to decide.
ps: mods, this thread should be stick. its very helpfull to noods and more advanced users

Actually, they post US and ex-US builds each time a new build is released. Many ex-US users post there, but far too many US and ex-US ask the same tired questions over and over. Read the FAQ, and enjoy a good build.
id go for this thread HERE, which should help you get started.

I followed the steps provided at thread provided by gizmolisa2006.
After step 3 was done, which was to install MAGLDR 1.13 and it flashed (if thats the correct word) ROM to 2.00.000.0 by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
after that i pressed the power key and it doesn't go into bootloader or the magldr menu doesn't come up. i did what it said in that video as well. but no luck.
now my hd2 is stuck on white background with pink "Stick Together" logo.
Can anyone please help?
Did you flash HSPL first?

i suggest hyperdroidgbx cm7 v1.0.3 runs great super fast and stable as all hell for me...only froze on me once so far and it was while i was streaming videos using flash...
great build
The most important thing is to get proficient at flashing your hd2 so that you can try out a few builds. Once you get hspl and magloader on your phone, I recommend coredroid simply because the instructions for getting clockwork recovery on your phone and installing coredroid are laid out fairly clear in a file with the download. From there you can try flashing other builds if coredroid doesn't suit your needs. I'm currently using hyperdroid and it's great for me.

Check out my signature. I have some instructions in my signature that might help. Also you might want to check out CoreDroid here. I find that it´s stable and fast, with some nice eye candy.

If you are just wanting to boot Android from SD card, unless you seriously screw up by doing something should not be doing, you are not going to brick your HD2. Click on my guide in my sig to learn some about your HD2 and also make sure to go to the bottom of my guide which is the bottom of post #3 and read the warning about the radio versions you can not flash to the HD2 or you will brick it. PM me if you need to, but please read the stickie threads and the links to guides in the stickie roll up threads also. Ckeck out the "New to XDA?" link in my sig to learn how to get the most out of XDA. Happy hunting!

Just so you know it is not unusual for a SD card build to not boot all the way up on the first time around. But bit usually if you do a reset and try booting it again it boots. Look into getting yourself a dual boot app too, just go to HD2 Windows Mobile themes and apps and do a search for Dual Boot apps or something like that. Turning HTC Sense hels with running Android from SD and also booting Android with in the first 10 to 15 secounds after Windows Mobile boots up helps out to, this is to keep Windows Mobile from establishing a data connection.
If you can't boot download a daf and run daf through USB flasher in magldr

Not being a smart a** but you do realize the OP is talking about running Android from SD card and not NAND right?
At the OP you said you run Unbuntu so you migbt want to check this article out that was in the Portal and follow the dev that is working on it. He is working on a app to " Hot Boot Into Debian From Android in the HD2" I think you might be interested in this, it is a short video there as well.
hi

thanks! i'm interested on that because im able to run android 2.3.3 from SD but when i use it runs smooth and fast but if i power off the screen and stay there for some time it freezes and need to remove the battery.. so would be nice if i can launch ubuntu from android so i would install in nand and launch ubuntu from it.
thanks i've just downloaded the apk from that tool and i'll try it on my HD2.
hi, i know i've asked so many things here, but i still confused,
i read about HD2 leos on here and search here for ROMS for my HD2 but they don't say anything clear.
i was thinking on upgrade it with the official tmobile rom 3.14 i enter my imei and it says it's compatible but, my cellphone it's unlocked, do u know if i upgrade it with the official tmobile update it will get locked again?
i want to upgrade with the official because i don't know if flash HSPL3 on my TMOUS 1024 HD2:
OS Version: 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
Manila Version: 2.5.20121412.2
ROM Version: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio Version: 2.10.50.26
and i notice that my battery doesn't last that much and i have wifi turned off... and want a better rom, if not a custom rom maybe the official upgrade but i want to know what about if my cellphone locks again to T-Mobile and i can't use it with my carrier.
