Hey, since there is many requests for how to setup the android on you'r HD2, i was thinking "why dont i make one?" So here it is.
PS!!! My english is not the greatest.
First download this radio if you dont have it (recomended): 2.10.50.08_2
And install it, boot up you'r HD2. A stable ROM is also recomended.
Second download one of the builds from: Here
Third: Clear you'r SD card (Only if you have a low mb sd card) You dont really have to, but if you do, u might get some smoother speed.
Four: Extract the build you downloaded to you'r desktop on you computer and Copy the files inside the folder you extracted to. ALL files. and past them into you SD card. (VIA USB) once done, unplug you'r usb cable. (If u choosed the froyo build, just put the whole android folder to the root of you'r card)
Five: Disable the auto backlight in the WM first before you start android, Select file explorer on you'r HD2 (or simular programs) And go into you'r SD card Run clrcad (for the sound, If nothing happends, dont worry, dont supposed to) and run Haret. Then after the build has booted, plug you'r USB cable in you'r HD2 again (Android drains battery atm).
Six: Enjoy!
Note: If you'r screen turns black, turn off auto backlight. If it's still black, change radio. AND!!! This dont kills you'r winmo.
I'm non genius but i made this to help you guys.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Cheers!
Hi,
Thanks for the info but I have done all that without the radio update. I'm running a stock vodafone ROM. I manage to get the haret launched and all the code scrolling but then the screen just fades to black and doen't finish the boot up... Is it the lack of the radio update doing this?? I'm not very clued in on this stuff.
Cheers!

No need to clear your SD card (I never did). It does make it easier to switch between builds, though, since you can just delete everything and copy over the next one you want to try.

Yes, most likely. What you're reporting sounds like what other people had before they installed a compatible radio.
Just want to add:
1. depends on the build, you have to extract the content to SD based on the instruction. (for example, the Froyo build you have to extract all files to a folder named "android" at the root of SD)
2. Must disable the auto backlight in the WM first, else you will some times get the "black screen". If you look carefully or under strong light, you'll still see things on screen, there is just no back light.
2. Run clrcad before Haret to get the sound working.
Cheers Meptik
I am looking to update the radio version... it that like doing the full ROM thing, in that it will re-set everything to factory default? Or is the radio update not as 'back to square one' on the phone as doing the ROM?

Updating only the radio shouldn't reset your HD2 to factory default, unless perhaps if you flash it using a stock ROM Update Utility.
Use the radio that FreddernLFC links to from the first post; it includes a CustomRUU, which should flash the radio to your HD2 without restoring it to factory defaults.
Hmmm.. will have another look at it. Ran through the updater and 5mins into it it errored so had to go through the recover process. I'll try again later. Cheers

Mine didn't work with stuff on my 8Gb card so I copied the whole card to my PC, reformatted the card, copied over the Android stuff and it then worked. I the copied all the back up stuff back and Android stopped working (tty error).

You try again. Common issue.
Hi Everyone, just wanted to add a few things. i would recommend you turn off sense from the device, then power off the device, once it powers on again go straight to your file explorer and run the process. you should notice the cursor at the bottom blink at a slower pace, if its in hyper mode the system will crash. it has been helping me, hopes this helps to all
what is this hyper mode what causes it i had to down gade my radio to 2.10.50.26 to get rid of the super fast un usableness of the 2.12.50.xx but i did like my 2.12.50.xx radio wish there was a way to make it work with that radio

winmo still remains there but sometimes you might need to hard reset
just switch off the phone in android or take out the battery and reboot, you are on win mo again.
good luck
How long does it spend? Because I am waiting for a long time.

hello,
I have a problem with Android installation, the 1st things is CLRCAD wont launch, and when i start Haret, it shows the black screen (which is normal) then it take a while and finaly just reboot the phone into Windows OS,
to make it clear,
I searched the forum before posting
I tried many android version, and it's all the time the same problem,
I was using android on my phone before
I formated the SDcard
My phone is flashed, and I'm using Enery ROM
if any solution, please help,
clrcad is an executable that won't actually launch anything, you just run it and then move on to haret.
you reformatted the card and searched, so that's good, but starting a thread definitely isn't the right way. ask in the Q&A or in a relevant thread would keep the place clutter-free.
anyways, you have the Android folder on the root of the sd card? the instructions for each build will be clearer, but most follow this rule. have you also tried another sd card, just in case?

have you tried doing a task29? if you have one of the SD card adapters for the microSD you can plug it direct into your computer and use windows to do the FAT32 format (not just FAT, make sure its FAT32) and reflash your preferred radio and rom combo for winmo. then drop on a fresh copy of android and run it. (i recommend redownloading your favorite build as well)
also......
why did you post the new thread here in development? thats breaking one of the biggest forum rules you say you always follow..... sad.
Check you RAM in WM. If it's 320mb, you can't run Android for now...

- htc leo 576 MB RAM size
- Manila version 2.5.20181527.0
- radio 2.08.50.05
- Rom thedarkone (dexter)
- Model # HTC HD2 T8585
- OS 5.2.23148
I am running my HD2 on the stock ROM: RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe with SPL 3.03 (Stock, not HSPL). I read carefully instructions, and followed all steps, I am not going to describe them, used following Android build [30.11.2010] MDJ FroYo HD v. 4.0 [Kernel: MDJ S7.3HD].
After Haret.exe HD2 reseted, and there was only white screen with HTC logo quite a while. I soft reseted the phone, and after that reset almost all programs are unable to start, with following message: "The file ‘cecmd’cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found". It does not mean where are they installed, SD card or Phone storage. But not all of them, e.g. Opera 10 still runs. It also refuses to install new programs, installation process immediately ends, with "Installation was unsuccessful" ((
I digged the forum, and somewhere it was proposed to change registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies DWord = 0000101a - Change value from 0 to 1
But I can not do so: I can not run the registry editor, which I have on my HD2 (Total Commander), I can not install new, or install a tweak, and also when trying to edit registry from my PC through activesync connection with CE Registry Editor and Mobile registry editor it returns with error "access denied".
I do not want to make hard reset. I think there should be a solution, other than HR or flashing new cooked ROM.
Thank you in advance.

Following simple steps:
1) Download following file: http://www.internet-tools.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sda_unlock.zip
From archive we need only SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe
It allows Registry to be edited from PC.
Run it with working Activesync connection
2) Download Mobile Registry Editor: http://www.zipsoft.ru/catalog/mobile_registry_editor-v1_11.html
Also run with working Activesync connection
3) and modify the following keys to the values listed.
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101b","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001005","4 0")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101a","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001001","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001017","2 4")
It perfectly worked with HD2, but I guess it should work with all WM devices.
FYI, here are some other useful software packages that relax the security.

There one thing you can do to run Android on your HD2. yes, I have an HD2 too and currently T-Mobile. 8 month experience with it.
I noticed your Radio is 2.08. There is a latest version which is 2.15.50.14. If you flash your radio, it might going to work. Try it though.
Since you already got HardSPL, you are good to flash radio. Get the 2.15.50.14 in the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787

first check the SD builds forum - easier as no flashing required, then pick one (e.g. ACA my personal favorite), read the installation instructions (usually just create Android folder on your SD card, then copy the build there), then run using any file manager clrcad.exe and haret.exe which are the android folder, wait for 10-30 minutes until 1st boot is finished, and done

links are marked by brownish font by default, check my previous post,
as for SPL, HSPL etc., you don't need to bother as long as you run Android from SD, that's the beauty of SD builds, enjoy full functionality of android, without the hassle and risk of bricking your device
some general FAQs here and here, but if you want to start fast, you can read those later, installing an SD build is safe

That SPL and radio version are fine, just download the ROM, extract it, click on CLRCD, then HARET, then you're running Android.
And ACA is by far the best ROM you're going to find

what's more to know for the start?
- no need to reinstall from now on, it's just that for now your device will always restart to WinMo, however: find yourself so called "android loader" to automate android loading, there's few of those to choose from, e.g. Android Loader v6.0
- connect android with your google account so your contacts and emails are synced (Settings / Accounts etc...)
- install Battery Monitor Widget, so you always know how much mA your device uses and how much battery is left,
- also search xda for tips on conserving battery power (e.g. disable 3G if not needed, switch off GPS, tweak backlight autobrightness in CM Settings etc.)
- be aware that for now the USB file transfer does not work, to copy files to your HD2 use WinMo or Card Reader or File Expert
- backup often: 1. invest in Titanium Backup, 2. from time to time copy data.img to your PC
- browse through the ACA FAQ and thread (I know it may be hard to read all 14995 messages at once)
wolfie1981 said:

Click to expand...

All apps are installed on your card, the whole idea of an SD build is that WinMo still sits in ROM, while Android basically consists of two files (sitting in the SD\Android folder) which are mounted at the start: system.ext2 (all system files and apps) and data.img (all user apps and settings). From user point of view you won't notice the difference. Additionally, once you run out of space in your data.img, you can always resize it, there are tools for that, but lets put it aside for now

Back on topic,
I see you have mentioned "Stock HSPL" and "Stock Radio" . Haven't you tried changing these?
First, I'd recommend installing HSPL 2.08.HSPL .
And make sure that what you have is really radio 2.14, and not for example 2.06.14_55 or something like that, I'd also recommend using either 2.15 or 2.12.
[P.S. : The Black Screen was a common issue of sd android builds that was usually related to the radio, assuming your information are correct, you shouldn't be having a problem]

clrcad.exe is only to enable sound, if the ROM is not booting without it, it is not going to boot with it.

Couldn't agree more, c'mon people, in the words of Jeremy Clarkson, how hard can it be? Also, try flashing HSPL2.08 then a custom ROM with Radio 2.15. For me flashing a custom ROM solved many of the issues I had originally with some of the Gingerbread Sense SD ROMs (I used to get FCs all the time [literally a constant stream of them] but these stopped after this.
Alternatively, you could just flash NAND Android.
Same prob here

I will try to describe mine, and probably my friend's case too
I have flashed the 2.08 HSPL and have radio 2.15.XX.XX (But it is the 576 MB radio and it is the newest.)
The problem is that i click clrcad and Haret and then somesmall text appears and then i have a black HTC screen and then my Phone reboots
So what can i do ?
I have "SPL 3.00..... and not HSPL... could this cause a problem, I am using SD as I dont wish to brick phone,

No, HSPL doesn't affect SD Android so you're fine there.
So it must be the radio or WM then,
Would using a boot loader application help the problem?
Thanks,
Alex
Done It At Last!
I have found the solution!!!
I was downloading the ROM and extracting to my desktop, then opening the android folder and copying the contents to the SD card root.
You need to keep the ROM in the Android folder that it comes with and put that in the root of the SD card!
Hope this helps my friend with the same problem...
Thanks guys for your help,
Alex

Most ROMs say extract contents into SD Card Root; not just copy the whole folder; its unclear; no need to get sarcastic!

In all fairness, I only flashed about 5-10 SD ROMs on my old HD2. I wound up sticking with Americandroid.
1. americanandroid.7z -> unzip!
2. copy folder unzipped\AmeriCanAndroid\Android -> to -> \sdcard\Android
(COPY THE WHOLE FOLDER.. NOT JUST INDIVIDUAL FILES!!!!!!)

Still though, I always followed instructions and never really had problems
Sorry to be a smartass, I just enjoy being witty.

That's the easiest way. Remember that you'll louse EVERYTHING personal on your phone...
Also, there is a third rom ATM, but it requires more work to get to the latest version. Although it allows for more flexible features and updating..
Couldn't be more clear I guess

Try installing a better rom such as YukiXBMod, PDA's, or HD2O at 8107. I've been using WP7 and it has been by far the best OS I've ever used.
The speed of the phone also depends on your SD card. If it's sluggish, more than likely, your card isn't compatible.

all the roms available are in that thread. i'm using HD2O and it's fantastic. I'm not going back to Android. everything runs much smoother and i use my phone more rather trying to customize it like on the android.
and your SD card says only 200mb available because when you flashed WP7, it locked your SD card. there are only a few ways to unlock it.
i suggest you reflash WP7 again. It's a great OS.

you simply not read instructions (tutorial) how to install this ROM.... you already ask this question under ROM topic....
You are flashing the rom incorrectly.
Under the rom thread you wish to flash, please read the instructions first. All the Rom creators usually edit their thread to make sure the instructions are included. The instructions are also included in the DWI.exe file. You are just not reading it.
1. Turn off the phone completely.
2. Turn it back on and hold the shut down button until you reach the MAGLDR screen.
3. Press the green button on "USB Flash"
4. On your screen, it will load and say USB Flash ready!
5. Unrar the files and place them somewhere like your desktop.
6. Open "DWI.exe" and make sure you Ran it as ADMINISTRATOR.
7. Read everything or simply skim through it.
8. Keep clicking Next and watch everything finish on both your computer and phone screen.
9. Wait for it to boot up. It usually takes around 5-10 minutes.

Excellent and thanks very much. Too much head spinning information on sticky and almost gave up. Following linked guide took me less than 1hr and that including some partition errors + sd card not recognised msg on first try. Missed the part :
2.GO to services and activate the last 24mb of RAM
3.Also in services do format MBR
Now need activation. Just a quick one: can I change the sim(number) after received the code? Or the code is only valid for given phone number to MS chat agent?
cheers.
dont worry give your original number...code is valid only for the live account...
Actually, Activation works
Tried on different phones, different rom, different SN (all HD2 though) different sims (also no sim) and different live account. Activation just always works.
Code is for a live account.. But you can use it on another account after 30days if the earlier account stays unused / withdrawn.... So you can use it on different phones, and and yes on different accounts too.. The problem comes when you want to install the same app you have on one phone-live account from marketplace...again on another phone with same account.... It says already installed
