I have an HTC Touch HD with Windows 6.1. Can I download and install a rom that has Windows 6.5 or will that not work?
Yes, there are quite a few different WM6.5 ROMs available for the Touch HD.
If you go into the ROM development section (for Touch HD/Blackstone) on here, you will see a thread about HSPL/USPL - take a read through this as it will give you a guide on how to do it. I'd recommend fully understanding it before you start though

Hi there, this is the Diamond 1 section of the forum. You need to visit the Topaz (Diamond 2) section.

You'll need to visit the rom development section and read the stickies (especially if you've never flashed a device before). Flash the HardSPL first and choose a chefs cooked rom.
The main difference between the two operating systems is the layout on the main screen and menu. It's not in it's final state yet but does run perferctly fine on my Diamond. Go check it out

Hi all, I have downloaded Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit and the phone emulators on there are excellent. just wondering if anyone here uses this for test touch hd roms before flashing there devices?
If so do you already have the correct settings and rom files for the touch hd that can be loaded with the Windows Mobile 6.5 tool kit?
Also how do you go about being able to install apps on there or flash a new rom as if you was doing it for real on the handset? I couldn't see a way of copying cab files to it.
I think it would be really useful to have a default emulation of the Touch HD so we can try out apps or roms before installing or flashing the phones saves resetting everything if we don't like them.
Thanks
Have you asked in the Blackstone ROM dev forum ?

No, I wasn't sure if this should go there or in general as it isn't actually a ROM or to do with creating ROM's it more about testing them but maybe it would be better of there.
Can a mod move this to ROM development please?
I'm sure it's not so easy (maybe even not possible) in WinMo-Emualtor.
HD has specific drivers and so on ...
But take a look in this thread:

wm6.5 has not been released for the HD and never will. Only way to get it is by flashing a cooked rom with wm6.5 on it. Step-by-step guide can be found here.
EDIT
I see you started a new thread with an updated query so I'll close this one

Which android or WM 6.5 rom for HTC Touch HD is the best for me to use? I mean, that it has everything working(Im thinking of using WM 6.5 for everyday use, and Android purely for apps and wifi (browsing, facebook, YT(optional), and maybe some music). I'm thinking of putting custom 6.5 rom in my HD. So, can some1 provide me with the best ROM out there and a tutorial to flashing it? I already know how to put Android on phone, just need a nice ROM.It would be great if you could only copy/paste ROM threads. Thanks. And sorry if i violated something on website, but im fairly new, and cant really understand all those tutorials.
P.S. Is HD running WM 6.5 rom better than it running WM 6.1?
Thanks again guys, im really gratefull ^^
WM for battery life
Android is only running properly on SD card builds - so you can have both easily enough.
I like WM6.5 but some say that WM6.1 is faster overall.
Depends what you want.
My blackstone is my work mobile and I have WM6.5 EDGE SWIFT rom on it at the moment, works well - I just need basic functionality out of it really, but battery life is very useful!
I'd love an Android NAND rom on it sometime though
the EDGE rom thread has a tutorial link in it - but the general gist is probably for WM roms:
1) update with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex (may be slightly different - check the tutorials first!)
2) download BlackstoneAdvancedRUU
3) find and download the rom you want, extract the .nbh and put it with the BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe
4) run BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe, task 29, run BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe again, task 28 and select your nbh file from the list
follow on screen instructions at all times.
you might want to flash the RADIO: HD_1.17.25.09.nbh too if you havent already got the latest radio...
Ok, i managed to somehow install WM 6.5 and its working well , got iGo on it, and some other apps. Now, which Android is the best for things i posted in my previous post?
(web browsing, music, apps) It doesn't need to have working camera, because i dont really use it, and if i needed it, i'd use it via WM 6.5.
P.S. is it possible to watch movies (.avi; .mkv; etc.) on WM 6.5 and Android?
P.P.S How to connect my phone to PC via WM and via Android?
P.P.P.S What's the status of Android Market's games and apps on Blackstone? Are they all working?
Thank you very much
Hi,
I still own a HTC HD 2 with windows mobile 6.5 (vodafone) and would like to install android instead. There are several videos how to flash the HD2 and tutorials with links but a lot of them seem to be out of date. So I am looking for an really good running android version (should operate without interruption - newest version is not the focus) and active links for download on win7 (32bit) PC.
Great would be a complete tutorial with active links.
Who can help?
Thanks
Sven

look here http://android.hd2roms.com/all-builds/
usually, the oldest they are, the most stable thay are... if you need stability, install a 2.3.x andtoid with sense 3.5 rom, but remember that there are also new roms that are fast and stable... i've flashed a 4.4.2 rom on my hd2 and it works fawlessly
active links
Thanks for this reply.
Since I'm not experienced in flashing smart phones, it would be great if I could get practical hints and especially precise active links for all necessary downloads (HSPL, Task29, Radio, magldr, CWM, cLK, sense, Rom, nand, ....??? - it's all Greek to me) on a win7 32bit PC.
Thanks in advance
Sven
PS: The HD 2 Toolkit I do have already.
here there is everything you need...
