[Q] How do I flash my TMOUS HD2, and install Andoid?

I'd like to start off by saying that I know nothing, NOTHING about the technicalities of phones. I know nothing about ROMs, Radios, SPLs (or whatever they are). I'm a COMPLETE noob, but I HATEEEEE Windows Mobile. It's crap.
I've been reading posts on the site for a good three hours now, but there's so much I don't know, I'm confused and lost. So, if ANYONE could PLEASE give me a step by step break down of EVERYTHING I need to do, and download (in order) so that I can put the Android software on my phone, I'd REALLY appreciate it! My Software info is:
OS: 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
ROM version: 2.13.531.1
Radio version: 2.10.50.26
Please help! Also, can I still use the SWYPE text feature once my phone is on Android?

If ur on gtalk I can help out. [email protected]
I'm in a good mood today.

Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Read it everything... That's how you flash.
Then go here after you have all that down: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782173
Read everything. That's how you install Android on your SD Card. You will STILL have windows. Android will run on top of it.
Then pick the Android build you want...

Swype is strong for droid.some androids come with it. I had to try several different versions until one worked, our wouldn't say the trial is over.

In my opinion there is way to much stuff to read for how simple it really is to flash a Rom & Install Android there should be a thread started that tells noobs the easy way.
1st. Download and unzip HSPL , Radio ,Task29, Rom of your choice, and android build of your choice.
2nd. Put your phone in bootloader mode and plug it into computer (hold down on volume while powering on)
3rd. Click the HSPL accept accept next next.... when it is at %100 hold down in volume again to enter bootloader again
4th. Click the radio everything is exactly the same as B4 accept accept nextnext... hold down
5th. Click Task29 same as above ^^^^^^
6th. click the ROM then next next accept accept BUT THIS TIME HOLD BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS WHEN IT REACHES %100 this will hard reset volume up to reboot then your done with the windows install.
7th. Now just plug your phone into the computer make sure it in disc drive mode not that active sync BS and transfer the Android folder you unzipped with the rest of the stuff unhook and use file explorer on the phone find the Android folder Click CLRCAD then CLICK HARET it loads up Android AND VWALAHHH

Very nice. But do you have recommended radio and roms for Android builds?

please help me out.
hmm can i have a custom rom( like for an example: a chucky rom) and a android os in my htc hd2??

Yes...it is explained on this and other threads, also you could have the latest official 3.14 ROM that works with some android builds.

What is the mentality of these people who buy an HD2, do no research, and expect us to teach them how to run Android on them?

A Big Step Into The Scene

Ok im going to take the plunge and try to run android on my HD2 i havent really messed about with my mob it too much but when i first got the Phone i flashed from the 02 ROM to the WWE i think i had to run Hspl or something like that cant quite remember.
basicly before i start i would like to ask a few questions in the hope some can open the door for me
to enjoy android on my HD2
1) I have downloaded FroyoStone Sense - Version 3.2
I know its preference but is this a good starting block i.e most support stable relese and so on. or would you recomend a different build?
2) I hear windows roms can cause issues when running android my phone is currently at this stage below.
will this cause problems do i need to change to a custom rom and if so again whats most people using
OS - 5.2.21869
Manila - 2.5.19211619.0
Rom - 1.66405.2 WWE
Radio - 2.06.51.07

¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.- Energy -.¸¸.·´¯ | 21911||23129 * Sense 2018
or other?
3) Question 2 brings me on to radios i guess if the above is necessary then a radio is needed,
Again what are people preference?
4) If the above questions are required then i know im required to hspl my HD2 but what version should
I use and does it matter that i have used a previos version?

Instead of asking to be spoon-fed, you could try taking 2 mins out of your own day to do a little reading. These questions have been asked (literally) hundreds of times before.
Enjoy.

Its not about being spoon feed i think i have ask valid questions if you follow a scene right from the begining of corse you will know exactly what to do, but as im coming into this scene 9 months too late theres a lot to learn i have done the searching and the reading.
I dont think im that far off from understanding what the procedure is all im asking for is a few simple questions to be answered by people in the know!
Nice to see that this community is willing to help out new comers i hope that you try to get into a scene and no one helps you out because you will understand what it is like!
At the end of the day its my mobile phone that i use daily for work i carnt really afford to be fashing dodgy unstale roms diffrent radios and so on.

I sold my Nexus one only last week, and purchased this phone.
I did not start a thread asking what to do?
Ive tried a lot of Win mobile roms, radios, sdcards and android builds to get to a stable setup..
No one can tell you what is best for you.... there are many factors that will effect your experience and you would know this by doing some quality reading instead of waiting to be told...

I can't be bothered with the "do this" "do that" and "search the 1,000,000 threads for something I know" thing.
Upgrade your radio to a minimum of 2.08.50 (I'd recommend 2.12.50 or higher, even 2.15.50 - the current latest).
I use FroyoStone Sense v3.1 (so I can't speak for v3.2) and I find it the best version I've tried. I've only tried a handful though, so I'm no expert.
As for HSPL, if you've already got a custom ROM on there then don't worry about that. If you can, use the latest official ROM from HTC. That comes with the latest radio and doesn't care about HSPL.

Help.

OK ive been looking and looking for a simple solution.
everyone knows about the robotic voice on HD2 when you get android. ive been searching old links and posts but most of it doesnt work, people say use miri, i dont really even understand what miri is. but i dont want any WinMo, i like using android on my phone, i was wondering if someone could just point me in the direction of a android build that doesnt have a robotic voice or a simple solution. Please dont be rude, ive been looking for maybe weeks, i would just like some help. i dont really mod my phone much so anything that is simple or helpful will be greatly appreciated.

You`ve searched for weeks and never stumbled upon something like :http://www.google.ro/#hl=ro&source=hp&biw=1440&bih=645&q=android+robotic+voice&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=d194facf2c53bcbc
I sincerely doubt that...
Then again, there are three main reasons you are having problems with your audio part.
1. You fail to run CLRCAD.exe before HaRET.exe;
2. Your radio is causing these issues;
3. Your ROM (WinMo ROM, NOT Android build!) is causing these issues;
Make sure you first run CLRCAD.exe, then HaRET.exe. If this is done and the issue is still present, try and flash another radio version, such as 2.10 or 2.12 (try some and see which fits you and your surroundings best). If this is taken care of as well and the issue is still present, try and use another ROM (the more basic it is, the better; I`m using one which has absolutely nothing but the old WinMo 5 interface, so it boots in about 4-5 seconds).
Good luck and please refer from posting such "famous" questions before using every option you have available.
EDIT: FYI, MIRI is a WinMo ROM customized for Android. For more information, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778398

I don`t remember insulting you in any way, everything I said was that by simply googling "android robotic voice" you could have found your answers and I bet you would have found your answers by hitting the "search" button and finding everything right here on XDA. I am truly sorry for your cultural and intellectual gap, but I`m not going to lower myself to your level, so you will hear no insults from me. You, my dear sir, are the one who should refrain from calling someone who helped you an "asshole".
Have a nice day and enjoy your Android HD2.

Everything seems to be okay, as far as the radio goes. I dunno much about 2.15 but at least theoretically it should perform flawlessly. Try and use this combination of radio/ROM, it works for me:
Link to radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705098
Link to ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734238
Also, as I have mentioned before, make sure to manually run CLRCAD before HaRET (at least for the first time) so that you can be sure this is not causing it all. Keep me posted, I look forward to hearing from you.

From what I have been reading you need to have your radio version higher.
Also why won't you want to upgrade the current rom? You have to do most of the steps to get Android working anyway (HSPL) etc.
Also until you get the full answer,, I believe you have to state if its T-Mobile US or UK etc
Sorry not the full answer.

"URGENT QUESTION"? Stop posting in bold red and read the HD2-Android FAQ!
Noone will help such people acting/posting like you..

Simple answer is YES you can. You are not required to flash to run Android from your sdcard.
BUT...
Several (me included) folks have ultimately had to flash in order to remove or fix little glitches in the build they choose. From the robot voice to data problems, the first suggestion is almost always upgrade your WM ROM or radio or both. And from the looks of it you dont even have the newest official TMO WM ROM. Your radio is a few versions back also.
I would suggest you do some research on flashing to get comfortable with that first, then mess with android. If you dont... your experience with Android will most likely not be pleasant.
Hope this answers the mail.

Closed this thread.
1) Please stop posting in bold and red. Post in normal text, and people might listen to your posts more, and stop flaming you.
2) There exist comprehensive FAQ threads, which you should read. Don't come along, and start posting without reading them. The forum rules tell you to search before posting, and this would suggest you didn't.
3) These questions are hardly urgent or new, and there's no need to ask them in more than once place.
4) Please mind the language. It's unacceptable, and won't be tolerated.
5) As I said, thread closed for the above reasons.

[Q] Installing different Radio Version

Hi guys. First off i should say im a noob trying my hand for the first time at flashing a new OS on a phone.
My intention is to replace my current Windows Mobile 6.5 with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733649
Anyway, i checked and i have one of the x.xx.51 versions, and im attempting to put 2.11.50.20 on. Now ive looked around but cant find any tutorials on how to do this anywhere.
Could you please instruct me on how to do it, or link me to somewhere that i can read some instructions?
All help greatly appreciated.

I'll give you a pass this time since this is your first post but always remember to SEARCH the Forum!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
This is the link that explains it all pretty much in a nutshell how to do it...
I recommend that you go with something that is more up to date - something like HyperDroid NAND Gingerbread version. The one you posted is fairly older and HyperDroid was made strictly for HD2 - therefore you will see lots of improvements.
I currently have MDJ 2.6 NAND Gingerbread with CM7 and it works flawless. Unfortunately it cannot be found easily due to MDJ not being forthcoming with the source of his work...
Anyhow, best of luck... and remember to search!
