We need more information from you. Did you flash a radio?
1. HSPL3 - done
2. Flash new radio: 2.10.50&2.12.50 seem to be the most popular.
3. Pick android ROM: read the thread of what you want to load. It will usually tell out the name of a compatible or suggested WinMo ROM.
4. Flash suggested winmo ROM
5. Download android build and extract the "android" file to the root of your SD card.
6. In WinMo open "file explorer" and go to your sdcard->android folder. Tap CLRCAD followed by HaRET. Wait patiently while it boots.
7. Enjoy android goodness.
8. Tip DEVs for their hard work.

Hi. i bought an htc hd2, but i did not like windows, so my brother installed android on it. i belive it is MDJ evo ROM, but i dont know what radio i am using.
-anyway, i noticed android is using about 70% of my battery, is this normal? (my older android phone used like 10%) does changing rom help?
1. If i want to change my rom, all i have to do is replace my old one on the SD card?
2. If i backup using titanium, how do i get the restore-file on my new rom?
3. a friend of mine is buying hd2. do he need to flash hes phone to be able to install android? ive read a "definitive guide to android" here on the forum, but from a "new user" standpoint its kinda hard to understand.
So it is:-flash phone, -install rado, -drag/drop android on sd card?

1: Yes, Android is contained in it's own folder on the SD Card, if there's nothing else you wish to carry over to the other build, format the card and put the new build on, then boot in the usual way.
2: titanium backup creates a folder called rather unsurprisingly "TitaniumBackup" on the root of the SD card, copy that over to the new build, install Titanium and select restore and it will give you a list of options to reinstall. Google for the wiki on the program and it goes into a lot more detail about how to do all the steps.
3: Yes, pretty much. Although some users will tell you that you'll need a newer SPL version, so long as you're using the latest stock winmo rom the spl is not needed and radio also get's updated along with it, then it's just a case of booting android.

Thanks for the great reply =)

HaRet is the hardware emulation invoker for Android to boot. ClrCAD is the audio part of android as well, you need to boot clrcad, then haret on all builds else you'll get no audio.
Lots of roms now have dual boot options, they are just an automatic clrcard/haret loader and some come built into roms, yes. Else they are just a cab file you can install yourself.
I have been reading this site everyday in about a month now - and probably every guide and How to:s.. But I still don`t get it..
I have a HTC HD2 (bought in Norway). I have ROM version 3.14 .. and Radio
ver. 2.15.50..
My question is: I cant find any guide that support this OS version and I have tried downgrade it, but I still cant get the same version on my HTC as in the guides.
I have also problem to find an android that suits my phone. I really want to try android, but I dont understand how to.. and what to choose.
I m sorry for my english skills and if I have missed a thread that is explaining my problem.
Can somebody explain how to do this in an easy way for me?
Best regards Lisa

As you have the right radio version all you need to do is download any SD or RAM version of Android

Thank you very much for answering me
I have downlaoded Android Loader v6.0 Final for HD2 and put it in the device memory. (like copy / past - the file is still unpacked)
Should I unpack this file before downloading a SD version of Android?
I have seen many screenshoots of different androids, is it possible to tell me what to choose? I just want one that works, and if possible norwegian language.

If you want to run Windows Mobile and have Android load from within Windows Mobile (so you can reboot back into Window Mobile if needed) then first you want to download an Android Build and extract it to your storage card. *THIS* build is very stable and fast and its the one I used before switching to Android on NAND. Extract the contents of the download file to your pc and then copy the 'Android' folder to the ROOT of your storage card so you will have a folder in the top level of your storage card called 'Android'.
Then run the Android loader v6 app and follow the install instructions. When asked for the folder you want to select \Storage Card\Android (or whatever Storage Card is called in your Roms language.
After you have gone through that you will have a link in your start menu that you can click on to start Android running. It may take a few minutes longer the first time its run but after that its alot quicker. The first time you run Android though you want to shut it down, reboot into Windows Mobile and run the android link again. This is needed to make it work properly.
However if you want to install Android to NAND (internal memory) so that it boots straight into Android and gets rid of Windows Mobile altogether then just click on the guide in my sig and follow the instructions there.
Mark.
Hi, this is my first post here
I've been here for a long time (well didn't have a handset so didn't find the need to join...)
I read through many articles and learned a lot from this forum
Last weekend I got my T-Mobile HD2 and I proceeded to install custom rom soon after
(latest Energy rom by NRGZ28- thanks)
The rom is awesome, it's just that I wanna try out android on my phone also...
I decided I'll try the SD first
So I followed a guide just downloaded the rom I want (MCCM GB V2.0 Gingerbread HoneyComb Sense theme) unzip, then copy to the root of my sd, run clrcad (don't know what he meant by working sound- I heard nothing) then run haret....
Then I am always stuck at the green letters screen forever, never get further...
I'm not sure what is wrong
I looked through all possible things
I did HardSPL4 and now has HSPL2.08, I got a custom rom
The only thing I did not change and think might be the problem is the radio...
my version is 2.10.50.26
Would flashing an updated radio make my android on sd work?
Is this "Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14**" ok for my HD2? (on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787)
Thanks for the help nice to talk to everyone~

Ha I guess you did not like the first option, so I will edit the whole post.
Running Andriod from SD is very simple as long as you follow the instructions to the T. If the Andriod folder you copied to your SD card has another folder in it that you have to open to get to CLRCLAD and HARET then you need to copy that folder to the root of your SD card. It is also important the name of the folder is Andriod. The first time you boot the Andriod it can take up to ten minutes sometimes cause it has to creat folders, files, and pathways. So maybe you are not giving it enough time to boot all the way up beforeo you hit the reset button or do a battery pull. Your SD card also needs to be formated correctly you want to format it usimg Fat 32, please make a back up copy of your card also if you reformat it as it will wipe it clean. Last but not least you may just have a bad download. Try redownloading the build and recopy it to your SD card then run CLRCAD and HARET.
The only thing a radio will do is cure robot sounding voices during a phone call while running Andriod but most builds now have that solved and are compatible with the current radio 2.15.50.14. Also when you touch on CLRCAD you will see or hear nothing it enables the sound on the Andriod build.
Last but not least being you have a TMOUS (T-Mobile) HD2. Be adviced that you most flash a radio version that has a 50 in the third set of numbers like 2.xx.50.xx. Do not flash a radio that has a 51 in the third set of numbers like 2.xx.50.xx. or a radio that looks like this 2.04.50.xx or 2.05.50.xx as they will brick your TMOUS HD2 reindering it usless for nothing but a paper wieght. And the only way to unbrick a HD2 is with a JTAG and a ORT wich will cost you and you will have to take your HD2 apart to fix.
O_O is the issue that difficult?
I don't mind calling though

I use a Gingerbread build too.
Ok i am new to android just traded my iPhone 4 for a HTC HD2 and it already had android on it when i got it. and i have some problems.
Number one biggest problem is i only have a power cord. no USB cord.
Problem 2 is this Rom is to say the least .. ODD.
Comes with no dialer, SMS app or Contacts app. However there is an option under -Settings-Ultimate Droid Setting-Modified Apps- Then a button i can push to install these things but it "installs them" but nothing happens these things do not show up anywhere. I am using 3rd Party replacements from the market which are OK (i would still perfer the stock apps) but then i have a Contacts Problem. i can push the create contacts button all day long and i get NOTHING no matter what app i try to do it from. I can import them from my computer but that is SUPER annoying.
So to put everything in a quick rundown
Cannot Create Contacts
No Stock Dialer, SMS app, or contacts app.
No USB cord to change roms.
Now here is another problem i ran into before everyone tries to tell me how to do this.
My Phone does in fact have aMAGLDR V1.12 Build Feb 03:45:07 by Cotulla 2011
So i thought well ill just install Rom Manager and Flash to Different Rom.
BUT i ran into more issues...
I flashed ClockworkMod to my phone like i was suppose to so i could flash my rom that i found to my phone with Rom Manager. Says it installed and was successful
SO then i clicked Install ROM from SD Card like i was suppose to after moving the rom zip to my SD card directory like the tutorial i found said to do. it found it and i clicked it checked all the appropiate boxes and hit ok. it said booting into recovery mode and shut off. When it came back on i held down the Red button like i was suppose to so i could get to the aMAGLDR menu like i was suppose to. I selected "AD Recovery" and it showed "No Boot Sources".
SO ONCE AGAIN.. FAIL....
i need help correcting all these issues please as i am a noob.
Also if someone could suggest to me a HTC HD2 Android 2.3 rom thats pretty close to stock and has all stock apps in tact that would be AMAZING. i do need it to keep my UNLOCK though as it is a T-Mobile Model and i am using At&t.
ALSO Below i will post all my phones Specs.
P.S. i am Currently booting from NAND not SD
About Phone:
Model Number HTC Bravo (Its Actually an HTC HD2 just HTC BRAVO for the ROM Base)
Android Version 2.2.1
Baseband Version 15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2
Kernal Version 2.6.32.15ocm_hastarin8.6N-gb02686c-dirtyroot(at Symbol)ocm#2
Build Number JDMS 1.6.2
Any other Questions. let me know. please and thank you for the help ALOT
Did you install the clockwork Rom Manager?
...you can't use the Rom Manager with magldr, it's just compatible with the clk bootloader.
I would suggest to start from the very beginning:
task 29:
flash magldr 1.13: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
- Follow this tutorial until(including) step 1
flash the latest clockworkmod and the correct partition size: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987531
For MAGLDR 1.13, booting from NAND:
Download the file attached and named "recovery_3.2.0.0_leo.img.zip"
Download a partition layout incl. recovery from this thread which fits your ROM you want to use best and unzip it into "C:\recovery" for example
Copy over "recovery_3.2.0.0_leo.img" from inside the zip archive into this folder "C:\recovery", delete existing "recovery-raw.img" and rename "recovery_3.2.0.0_leo.img" to "recovery-raw.img"
Flash the recovery and partition layout using "DAF.exe" as usual and described in the thread of raiderx or the ROM provider
Boot Recovery with menu point "8. AD Recovery"
You're done

flash rom. e.g. typhhon cm7: here you will need a 150mb partition size with 4mb cache.

you should try looking in SD DEVELOPMENT lol,but to be honest,why would u want to install it on ur sd card when u can have nand lol,if u have it on your sd card,everytime you reboot your phone,it'll go back to windows mobile,stay well away from sd card,none of that **** copying intrid & zimage to the root of your sd card lol and haret to sort the sound out,go with nand,you won't regret it
I agree with Ty5982. Nand builds are much faster booting and reliable compare to SD. Any reason why you want SD build?

Agreed with other two posters, NAND is much better. As for your issue, I think it may be radio related, upgrade to HTCs latest official stock ROM 3.14
There's nothing wrong with SD builds. They're great for trying out Android without voiding your warranty, or to be able to dual boot Windows Mobile and Android, or to multi-boot NAND Android and different SD builds thru MAGLDR.
Just follow the instructions in the thread where you downloaded the build from, and all should be well.
Don't rename the folder that all the files such as HaRET and CLRCAD are in.
Go into that folder, open the startup.txt file in a text editing program, and check to see if it has a line that says Rel_path=
After Rel_path= it should say the name of the folder all your Android files reside in. If it's a different name than the folder name, re-name the folder to match the rel_path line, so if it says Rel_path=Droid69, then rename the folder to Droid69, and not droid69 as it is upper/lower case sensitive.
If you still can't get that build to run, try another I guess.

Dude, if you're worried about warranty you are on the wrong site
Also, even if it does void your warranty, Its easy to get your device back to stock. Its not as if you need to open your device and rip the warranty stickers to get Android on nand lol.
No, I'm clearly not worried about my warranty, I was simply pointing out that that is one of the advantages of SD builds. Some people are worried about their warranties, or afraid they might brick their phone flashing a nand rom, and the sd builds are a safe alternative for risk averse or less experienced members.
I didn't say sd builds are the only or best way to go, I just said theres nothing wrong with them. Additionally, I don't think this is the wrong site for those who are worried about their warranties, there's still a wealth of information on this site for those who don't want to void their warranties.

Which Radio do you have? I had similiar problems to you but changing radio resolved them all, the first boot of any SD build should not take more than 20min, more means you're stuck. But again, NAND Roms are totally better then SD - faster, more stable, better battery usage etc. And Android wins with WinMo 6.5 in every challange so I would consider flashing a NAND ROM if I were you. Hyperdroid for the very beginning - definitely the best ROM available.

Okay I don't know if I'm posting on the right thread or not but I need help. I want to install the IceCreamSandwich/jellyBean rom on my HD2 SD card as well, its my only option since my usb port is broken. I already had gingerbread installed but I want to upgrade. I formatted my SD card (don't ask me why) by mistake. So whenever I cut my phone on it goes to the bootloader menu and somehow I navigate myself back to gingerbread. I'm a "noob" so I have little to no idea what I'm doing. Is installing this after all I've done even still possible? I need help please and thank you!
