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
Hi,
i've got a question on the following:
You can start Android right from windows mobile. Is it possible to turn back to windows mobile without rebooting the device first?
Because now with the RAM-Builds its superfast to start Android, but sqitching back to Windows mobile ist horrible and sloooooow .
So is there something I didnt see until now?
PS: I normally use android only for gaming or other special things like apps etc thats why i'd like to switch back fast.

no you can't because the linux/haret is ment to shut down windows so android can boot, that's why a soft reset is needed to restart windows.
Can you soft reset from Android? or the only way is with the reset button? Thanks
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.

... Flash Windows Phone 7 then? Or, if you meant revert back to stock then you meant Windows Mobile 6.5, so flash that? It's fairly simple. There are plenty of guides, search before posting.
why would you choose win7? you can only install files from store and ther is no data browser x_x
...or you can choose to Triple Boot from WP7 & SD & Native SD - the wonders of having an HD2!
