Is there anything which will let me return to windows mobile after I install android on my HTD HD2?
Basically I want a dual booting option so I can still use Windows Mobile - as I have just realised, just before install Android, that it is acutally quite useful. ???
Take out your SD card. Boot up. And place your card back in. Toodles.
Android cannot be "installed" yet. When you have android on your sdcard it will still boot windows first, then it gives you the option to boot android.
Some windows mobile roms ie. Chuckyrom, have a built in android loader, so that every time you boot you can choose which os to use.
Thanks
Thanks for the help - That must have sounded like a noob question - I am new to the whole putting android on the HD2 thing.
Thanks.

I have a us hd2 I'm running android but I still can run Windows mobile. How can I take off wm so everytime I restart my phone I don't have to keep booting android

For the time being you have to have WM, as Android runs of the SD card. Work is being done on nand, so that WM can be removed and Android will be on the phone.
For the time being there are some autoboot programs that means everytime you boot into WM, it will automatically boot into Android.
search for Android Auto boot or something along those lines......or have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723200
Thanks I appreciate it
i have an htc hd2 from tmobile and i dont like windows mobile. i can run android off of my sd card buts its kinda slow. is there a way to put an android rom on the phone so that instead of booting into windows mobile and then into android from the launch android thing can i get it so it just goes into android when i turn it on?
Simple answer=No. Read the stickies for info on why.
Is it possible to upgrade it to windows 7? I am really sick of windows 6.5 and even the android setup is not working on my phone. I guess its really complicated. I wish i could just remove windows and replace it with android. please guide me with this!
Thank You

There is no way you can upgrade your WinMo to WP7, due to different requirements, firmwares, processor, etc. Android OS is actually not so difficult to install as what you think. What you need is patience and reliable tutorial to follow. There are few different versions of Android available by different users:
1. Original default beta installation, install on SD card, transfer the files in and run haret.exe twice.
2. ISO file installation, install on My Storage, transfer the files in and run haret.exe once.
3. Manual installation, can be installed on either My Storage or SD Card, required Ubuntu to transfer the files, and run through haret.exe once.
4. Froyo Bundles, fixes most problems and most stable, can be installed on either My Storage or SD Card, transfer the files in and run.
Thanks. Will surely try again!
Cheers!

Some of use crazy users dual boot our phones. For example on my HD2 I boot Windows Mobile 7 from NAND and Android from the SD card.
Not all dual boot environments support clockworkmod.
For some of us "dual booters" we are running Windows Mobile 7 not Windows Mobile 6.x. The problem with this is that clockworkmod does not work with Windows Mobile 7 and therefore we are unable to install many apps, fixes, etc.
My request is that when you develop something that would normally be installed with clockworkmod could you also please put installation instructions (or some kind of installer) for those of us who cannot use clockworkmod.
Thank you for considering this request and for your continued development efforts.
Hello
I have a Omnia 2
I installed Froyo 2.2 on the external SD with the dual boot start up. The dual boot is set with Android as default. Everything works ok except for when I switch on the phone it loads a little bit in windows and then to android. Meanwhile until android loads if I get any messages it goes to the windows version :S
The problem is the windows version no longer works as I want it to (I think it got offended) so I can’t really see the messages.
Question: How can I set my phone to load ONLY and directly to Android? So there will be no need of the dual boot and no need to load a bit of windows.
Thank you.
I'm using it exactly as you and I think it's not possiblle.
Dual boot as u expect is not possible, b'coz our Android is not a NAND ROM.
The phone will first boot to Windows Mobile and then the dual boot application will run the Haret file to launch Android.
