Hello guys,
Very new to the flashing business, I decided to have a play with "NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.2" Android2.3.2 but I think I prefer 2.2. 2.2 had more of an HTC feel to it, I like the flip clock and the weather animations, live HTC wallpapers too.
Can I bring these features into 2.3?
Many thanks
no can do sir.

Shame
Do you know if these's a ROM to support my HD2 (512mb) that'll copy the HTC Desire HD's layout?
Thanks

yea u can flash the latest clockwordmod recovery with 400mb. then download a .zip ROM to ur sd card. reboot into clockwork and install from zip.
theres a few more steps but youd be able to find the answers in the rom thread ur looking to download.

I'm not to familar with the Clockwordmod and how to flash like that. I've only ever flashed using MAGLDR which seems to be very easy so far.
I've seen lots of talk of flashing from the SD card and things but I do like the idea of the OS running of the NAND rather than an SD card.
Thanks again.
flashing thru clockwork is similiar to nand flashing. in fact, it IS flashing to ur nand, the only difference is that u have a backup on ur SD card whenever u need to re-install or reboot instead of using ur computer to re-flash ur rom.
so basically, instead of flashing from computer to nand its flashing from sd to nand.

I believe we will see HTC make Sense available for Gingerbread. There's a few articles floating around about it, just do a search in Google.
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.

Me too. It is stable and has low battery usage.
Development is in progress, the remaining issues should be fixed soon.

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?
cap
my bad, i was suppossed to install 2.08.hspl instead of 3.03.
its working fine now.
I installed gingerbread i guess.

what if hspl is 3.03? by downgrading it to 2.08, will it be reversable?
Nexus HD2 - Gingerbread V2.4 NAND
try it i like it a lot
help... i don't really know what type HTC HD2 i m using.. i m confused by so many types in the market, leoxxxx...t-mobile, htc sense?
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.
Hi
Newbie here... I've searched for this Q & A but ' haven't found anyone with this exact problem...
I've just bought an used but barely used HTC HD2 with WM6.5 from a friend of mine.
I wanted to have both Android and WM, so i did install RAFDROID HD 4.2 on my sd. Everything went smooth on the installation, but now i wanted that Android as my default OS. Every time i turn on my HD2, it loads automatically WM. Tried to install [APP] RunDroid-dual boot to Android [SD] or WM6, and even when i select Android as default, it will load WM first...
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
António
Why dont you choose Android on Nand, it only boot into Android without any worried

Can you help me, giving me a tip on how i do that? (it is mandatory that i maintain WM intact on the phone memory)
well if you want nand android than your WM will be gone.
but you can always reflash it back to WM later.
if you do not want WM to be gone you should maybe try a different bootloader

Right, you should try a different boot loader
try this: multiboot: http://www.mediafire.com/?nssn9v0ijoy3thv
You can install more than 1 android build on SD card.

Good luck
I planned flashing to froyos version if that's what you mean !? I also want to choose which OS I want to load when I start my phone.
doesnt the rom that you want specifiy the steps required?
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.

Then you need to boot android from SD. Go to the android SD sub forum

hey...
iam using t-mobile HD2 :
ROM version-2.13.531.1
radio-2.10.50.26
protocol ver-15.39.50.07U
and i want to install android on my phone. i have been reading quite a few threads everyday but the more i read i guess the more confuse i get.
some say that u should use HSPL.. some are against it... some say that we should flash android from SD card , some are again against it..
WHAT I NEED:-
1)i want to put android in my phone. preferably 2.2 froyo as i think that 2.3 mite be heavy for HD2.
2) i dont want dual OS. that is i just want android on my phone and not android and windows 2gethr.
please guide me. which steps should i follow...??

NAND means is short for NAND. memory/ NAND chip. This is what is called the flash memory of the HD2. It is also where the Windows Mobile OS is. So if you flash a NAND Android ROM you will wipe Windows Mobile, also your HD2 will boot into Android when you turn your HD2 on. You have to have MAGLDR or cLK to do this though.
Installing to NAND is faster and more stable, since the SD card might not have the read/write speeds to supply the OS. What is more, running Android from SD is booting up WinMO first and Android second, which is obviously slower.
I have a DesireHD ROM on my HD2, I have tried gingerbread builds too but without Sense it sucks imo. Hardware is more than enough, SetCPU just rocks (overclocking).
There is a nice and comprehensive guide on how to install the stuff, first HardSPL, then flash a new radio, then install MAGLDR, then flash an Android build (preferably rooted, I have had problems with rooting since z4root does not work).

-Yes. It will wipe your Winmo completely
-Yes. If you flash NANDROID, then you will only have Android.
-Some NANDROID ROM works, some dont. It really depends on your handset conditions and the rom itself. You might experience that you cant flash certain Nandroid Rom while others can, vice versa. But dont worry, there are many roms you can try out and see it if it is suitable for your needs
