Hey, since there is many requests for how to setup the android on you'r HD2, i was thinking "why dont i make one?" So here it is.
PS!!! My english is not the greatest.
First download this radio if you dont have it (recomended): 2.10.50.08_2
And install it, boot up you'r HD2. A stable ROM is also recomended.
Second download one of the builds from: Here
Third: Clear you'r SD card (Only if you have a low mb sd card) You dont really have to, but if you do, u might get some smoother speed.
Four: Extract the build you downloaded to you'r desktop on you computer and Copy the files inside the folder you extracted to. ALL files. and past them into you SD card. (VIA USB) once done, unplug you'r usb cable. (If u choosed the froyo build, just put the whole android folder to the root of you'r card)
Five: Disable the auto backlight in the WM first before you start android, Select file explorer on you'r HD2 (or simular programs) And go into you'r SD card Run clrcad (for the sound, If nothing happends, dont worry, dont supposed to) and run Haret. Then after the build has booted, plug you'r USB cable in you'r HD2 again (Android drains battery atm).
Six: Enjoy!
Note: If you'r screen turns black, turn off auto backlight. If it's still black, change radio. AND!!! This dont kills you'r winmo.
I'm non genius but i made this to help you guys.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Cheers!
Hi,
Thanks for the info but I have done all that without the radio update. I'm running a stock vodafone ROM. I manage to get the haret launched and all the code scrolling but then the screen just fades to black and doen't finish the boot up... Is it the lack of the radio update doing this?? I'm not very clued in on this stuff.
Cheers!

No need to clear your SD card (I never did). It does make it easier to switch between builds, though, since you can just delete everything and copy over the next one you want to try.

Yes, most likely. What you're reporting sounds like what other people had before they installed a compatible radio.
Just want to add:
1. depends on the build, you have to extract the content to SD based on the instruction. (for example, the Froyo build you have to extract all files to a folder named "android" at the root of SD)
2. Must disable the auto backlight in the WM first, else you will some times get the "black screen". If you look carefully or under strong light, you'll still see things on screen, there is just no back light.
2. Run clrcad before Haret to get the sound working.
Cheers Meptik
I am looking to update the radio version... it that like doing the full ROM thing, in that it will re-set everything to factory default? Or is the radio update not as 'back to square one' on the phone as doing the ROM?

Updating only the radio shouldn't reset your HD2 to factory default, unless perhaps if you flash it using a stock ROM Update Utility.
Use the radio that FreddernLFC links to from the first post; it includes a CustomRUU, which should flash the radio to your HD2 without restoring it to factory defaults.
Hmmm.. will have another look at it. Ran through the updater and 5mins into it it errored so had to go through the recover process. I'll try again later. Cheers

Mine didn't work with stuff on my 8Gb card so I copied the whole card to my PC, reformatted the card, copied over the Android stuff and it then worked. I the copied all the back up stuff back and Android stopped working (tty error).

You try again. Common issue.
Hi Everyone, just wanted to add a few things. i would recommend you turn off sense from the device, then power off the device, once it powers on again go straight to your file explorer and run the process. you should notice the cursor at the bottom blink at a slower pace, if its in hyper mode the system will crash. it has been helping me, hopes this helps to all
what is this hyper mode what causes it i had to down gade my radio to 2.10.50.26 to get rid of the super fast un usableness of the 2.12.50.xx but i did like my 2.12.50.xx radio wish there was a way to make it work with that radio

i jus downloaded the desirrev4 build. so i just have to extract all files into the root storage card ? then run clrcad before haret and thats it ?
may i check , does this kills my existing wm rom ? how to switch back to my original wm ? i have read this is a kind of multi boot method . apologies for noob questions .. would appreciate if someone can advice. thanks !

winmo still remains there but sometimes you might need to hard reset
just switch off the phone in android or take out the battery and reboot, you are on win mo again.
good luck
How long does it spend? Because I am waiting for a long time.

on regards to installations of android software, they will be on storage card ?
for the bro above, my running of andoid was fast .. i think less than 5 mins .. after haret, i see many words scrolling .. very fast .. then the next moment , it loads into android and will ask u what interface u want .

Hey guys,
I've put Android on my HD2 and it works great. Except, whenever I make a phone call i cannot hear the other person and they cannot hear me.
I thought it may be due to the Radio ROM and was going to flash another to try and fix it but Data works fine? The web works great on it so surely the radio must be okay?
I'm using:
HSPL3
EnergyROM by NRGZ28
Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2
Desire V5 Froyostone
Sound works okay in general, when i dial numbers the speaker works, just on calls. SMS works okay
Even though i'm having a slight niggle i would like to also use this thread to thank everyone here for their hard work on porting Android to HD2
I got to ask BUT are you running the CLRCAD program beofer you run Haret to boot into android?

The WinMo build i've flashed loads to a home screen with a Launch Android button, I assumed it was scripted to run CLRCAD first, but i'm not sure?
I'll restart the device back into WinMo and see if i can manually launch Android rather than the button on the cooked rom
***Additional Info***
I restarted the device and forgot to remove the memory card so booted straight to Android and hey presto, sound works great
I think on first boot it must not launch CLRCAD but after that it does. I feel a bit n00bish now haha but thanks
Try other build of win mobile Rom, i have same problem when I using energy Rom

I used the 2.12 radio, I boot without SD card into nrg Rom, used file explorer to locate Android folder on card (put back in at this point) and start. Those files then it works

As the headline says: I want to remove, or go back to WM, but without deleting everything and go back to scratch... I have some appointments that I want to save, and that I don't have anywhere else... (I can't find them now that Android is running...)
Please, please help me...
(Could the software make my appointments disappear?

you've posted in four threads that you can't get back to windows. If you shut the phone down and power on again, its simply not believable that you can't get into windows. if you are using an auto bootloader, then it should at least briefly give you an option to boot into windows. so, are you using an autoboot program?
If you happened to install a rom that autoboots android, (I'm guessing, can't see any other reason why a reboot wouldn't work), try turning off your phone, taking out the sdcard, then booting it up.
I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do... There's so many things that doesn't work.. That's why I posted it so many places... I don't know if I am using an autoboot program or not.. I followed the instructions from Youtube that everybody were positive about. And no, I don't get the option to boot into windows when I reboot the phone..
Android boots from your SD card so justtake it out and reboot phone and android wont load up.
Once in there you can uninstall the autoboot or flash a new version of windows or whatever you need to do.
No, that didn't work either... I thought it was very strange, because I heard about people who switched between android and wm... So I don't know what's wrong...

If you take the SD card out like others had suggested and turn your phone off and on, Android won't boot as it runs off the SD card (for the time bing anyway).
No SD card = No Android

If after removing SD card and rebooting you still boot into Android, then you either :
1. have a NAND version of Android (not sure if that's even available now)
2. have an Android phone (top part of Evo looks like Leo)
Sorry, but my SDcard is on the table, and Android is still running... What have I done...?

or 2. an actual Android phone (top part of Evo looks like Leo)

Did the youtube video you watched, ask you to flash a new WM rom. Are you sure your not mistaking your new WM rom as android, as it possibly looks different to your original ROM (which if you havnt backed up your data, you've already lost those appointments)
I suggest you watch a video of andriod, and see if it looks the same as your phone.
If it does, and your phone is definetily a HD2 Leo, and Android is running, Do you know anybody that goes by the name of Cotulla?....lol.
MaxSense modification for sense is an Android like interface.
I have neither NAND version nor Android phone...

Are these settings showing on your phone Under settings / about phone / software information?? If so you are in WM, not Android. And sorry to say you have lost your appointments, unless you backed them up using PIM backup or something similiar, which im guessing from this thread you didn't.
Just by looking at this Ive determined that the OP doesnt really know what he is doing at all. The software information that he posted indicates he flashed a custom WM rom (probably energy) and thinks its android.
kjessa_83: You are running a custom version of WM, NOT android!! If you want to go back to the original rom, I suggest you find the official rom, and flash that. Btw, if you cant tell the difference between WM and android, maybe you shouldnt be messing around with the phone...
The folder that I copied to my SDcard is called Android, so how come it's WM?

Hi guys, i have a strange problem i looked for an answer in the forum but i didn't match anything.
I have a HD2 T-Mob with:
- hspl 3
- radio 2.15.50.
when i booted android in the past always was great! android boot and then run normally, but one day my phone with low battery shutdown with android.
Now i tried a lot of wm rom's, radio and android's build, formatted my sd with sdFormatter but NOTHING!
Android load and for only 1 sec appear then shutdown the phone.
I think that android find some file from battery check and shutdown the phone.
I have no idea how to work android on my phone please help me!
Anyone had this problem? anyone can help me?
thanks.

Your English skillz are good dude. Did you try to format your SD card and copying a fresh Android build back over and starting again?
Yes i did, crisisinthecity! But nothing.
the strange thing it's that android loads and when finishes and makes data.img, the phone shutdown it self.
I have seen that in the SD there is a file of windows mobile, a sort of encryption's file, every time i formated my SD and copied on it the android directory when i loaded android at the next reboot (after the shutdown) i saw this file on the root of the SD.
please anyone know this problem?
Thanks.
Nobody can help me?
please.
Do you have a different storage card you could try? Everything works fine in Windows?
yes, i've 2 SD card, one class 4 and class 2. I tried with both, the result it's the same!
yes, on windows everythings works.
when i run clrcad.exe i run it with lights on and then tap to haret.exe! i think it's correct. i flash all my roms after task29, all my roms work correctly on my device and have no problems... I've no more ideas!
It all started when the phone is off with Android.
Now i'm trying to re-flash vbnrom and mdeejay froyo sense 2.4 but i think it isn't a rom's compatibility problem.
Hi guys, I solved my problem to run Android!
It was a stupid problem... now is perfect! I post the solution in case someone else had the same problem.
As you know there are two ways to load wm rom:
the first is via USB, the second is directly load the rom on sd and flash it from your phone without pc.
Both are successful but with a BIG difference (for me)...
If use usb method to load the rom, it created the file data.img but did not run the build of Android.
The wm rom works perfectly but android NO.
I solved it by putting the rom on sd and flash it from the phone.
Thanks to everyone for the help!

energy rom is just fine, try 2.12.50.xxx radio, donwload the android build you want and unzip to desktop on pc, grab android folder and place on root of your sd...... you cant always use the android bootloader on this WM rom unless you edit the startup on android build...... on WM go to start>tools>file explorer> make sure keypads lights are on and hit CLRCAD first, then hit HARET and just let it go all the way, some builds take longer on first boot cuz data.img is being created so wait bout 5-10-15 min ........ dont forget to turn off auto backlights on WM before doing all this.. good luck...
Maybe a change back to HSPL2 would help..
Do you happen do have extended battery?
ive done tha many times bt it just goes into these really small letters at the left top corner of tha phone it doesn't load up like other android boots ive seen and it goes to htc screen what culd it bcuz it never loads up after hours

ok, start all over again.... download and do task29, reinstall your energy rom upgrade radio again, apply settings i gave you and try to boot again..... let me know how it goes
What type of sd card are you using, try a different sd card... That eliminates the sd card as the culprit.
I have the original 16gb sd card that comes with the phon and im sure its not corrupted bcuz it works great
can u explain a little better what kenel and linux is or if i hve to update tha too i really dont undestand what that really is?

This is what i did
I flashed the newest hard spl i think it is number 3.0 and changed the radio to 2.12.50 and after i put energy rom on it what will upgrade my ram to 570 or something. I am very happy with that rom very fast and stable. Now im using FroyoStone Sense - V3.2][Kernel: linux_on_wince_htc 2.6.32.15] from darkstone.
Im sorry for all the winmo 6.5 hardcore users. I tweaked and played with it for a time now. But now im using froyo from my sd card (very fast and stable) I want nothing else. I hope there will be a rom soon so i can cook a android rom on my hd2 leo. I think the biggest reason for me is the amount of good quality apps.
Peace out.
