So here's the story i used this guide to try and put andriod on my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843221
problem i went throght all the steps till i reached step 6, once step 6 was done my screen was stuck on stick together screen, can someone please help me? my computer won't recognize my phone at all to even try and reflash it, also i tried to put it in bootloader mode but nothing, can anyone help me =/
It's not gonna go past the Stick Together screen, because task29 erases and formats your ROM space. Your phone has no ROM on it. To enter bootloader, yurn your phone all the way off, and hold the VOL - (down) button while turning the power back on by pressing the 'End Call' button. Just continue with the steps in the guide, even though my opinion, flash a good Windows Mobile ROM, and just put whatever Android build you want to have on your sd card. Then you have the best of both worlds, Android and WinMo too. There's really no reason to limit yourself by using the ROM
Ty huggs I got my phone working, also I can install any type of android version? Or would I need to flash my phone again?

As long as you have a X.XX.50.XXX radio and not a X.XX.51.XXXX (a 2.08.XXXX radio or greater is what you want) then you're good to run any Android build you want. I would suggest one of the ones in my sig, they're great, or one of the RAM builds, those are very very fast
Have fun!

Because of my stupidity, I followed this guide to install WP7 on my HD2 leo. I should have watched the video through before actually going through with it.
I really really appreciate any help from you guys because I'm lost right now.
THE PROBLEM:
As I was going through the installation process, the person instructing the video said something along the lines "this rom is not for the HD2 Leo" so I clicked cancel on the install and turned my phone off.
When I turn it back on, my phone doesn't boot to WinMo 6.5 but instead goes to the Magldr v1.12 and says
"Booting WPH
WPH LOAD
123456
GO GO GO!"
I took the battery out and turned it on, but I just keep going back to this screen.
Can I do anything to fix this.
Doesn't sound like you've bricked you're phone... the bootloader is trying to now boot wp7 from you're nand but you haven't installed it...
boot up you're phone and hold the power button, this stops it from trying to boot the default.... which is wp7 ATM.
Few options
1) reinstall window 6.5 from HTC website using specific for you're phone
2) boot up phone holding power button and select USB flasher and instal wp7
3) install android using the same method as no 2
Full instructions are available on the forum.
Also without trying to sound harsh it might be wise to do a bit of research regarding flashing a non-standard rom before you go ahead and do it.
Hope you get it fixed soon

Wow, Thank you so much Matt. I got WP7 on it with your help.
I didn't know holding the power button allowed me to go to USB-Flasher and thats what I needed.
No problem mate, hope you enjoy it

I got this phone on Ebay because I am poor. It was a T Mobile unlocked that was changed to Android. I can't get rid of the old user name and don't have the password for the Android market account set up on this phone. I can't do a factory reset and I need help. I would prefer to put 7 on it but I would be happy putting 6.5 back. Android would do if I could reset the user account. I do hope someone can help me. I am not very technically gifted but I can follow easy instructions. Please help me.

Because you are new at this I suggest flashing the stock T Mobile from your SD card. It is the simplest and safest thing to do.
You may need the Serial and IMEI numbers located under the phones battery.
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32
2. Go to T Mobile web site and download the rom. It will ask for you IMEI number this makes sure the rom is for your mobile.
3. Unzip/unrar the downloaded file into a folder on your PC
4. Rename the RUU_signed.nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
5. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
6. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
7. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
8. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
9. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
What if you want to flash it without using the SD card? I flashed android using NAND but I want to put WM 6.5 back.

I think doing it with the SD card is only way to get back to 6.5.
You could always boot into the boot loader by holding the up volume and power key then flash a 6.5 Rom.

stop!!!!!!!!
Everyone has forgotten to find out what device this is, t mobile are all over the place and some ship 1024MB versions, don't flash anything until you work what you need, flashing incorrect tmobile roms could give you a really bad day and an expensive paperweight
I tried the data cable first and it won't sync with active sync because it is at this time android. It just isn't recognized as anything but a usb storage device. Then I tried the card. I put all the files on the card according to the directions and hit the volume down button and the power button and nothing happens. I then have to remove the battery to turn it back on. The screen that comes up when I first start the phone is dark forces team. There has to be a way to do this.
You have to be holding vol down before u even press the power button, then press the power button simultaneously. U should see a tri-color screen then connect your usb to pc and flash the 6.5 ROM
Make sure u start with the phone off

I had a few attempts before I got it so try again.
It worked for me with a 16GB card.
Turn off your mobile.
Hold the Volume Down and End Call (power) buttons at the same time.
When "Searching" appears on the screen, release the Volume Down button.
This guide may help. But ignore the things about custom ROM’s and HSPL for now.

ok, there are two versions of the HD2, one with 512MB one with 1024MB, some t-mobile US phones (TMOUS) have 1024MB, if you ge the wrong ROM you could potentially bugger your device
for instance, flash a ROM with a unsupported radio on your device than game over....potentially
if you have a TMOUS 1024MB HD2
flash to .51 radio an its screwed
flash to .50 radio an its ok, except 2.05.50.x radio which will screw it
and stick to TMOUS ROMS as well
if you have the regular world wide version we can flash to what ever we like
its important to find out what someone is using before recomending them to flash any WM6.5 ROM because if by chance that ROM contains an incorrect radio version for that hardware then its game over.
Hi
A friend of mine has a HD2, never HSPL or anything and still running on 1.42 rom.... Now everytime it boots it goes straight into the bootloader. Since its never been messed around with I find it odd, seen it before with people with other phones. Would this just be a corrupted ROM and therefore it goes there, would if poss a stock rom flash be able to restore the phone, if that is not the case then a warranty return is still valid, but obv not wanted.
What do you think, will this work? I did search but everyone's posts come up with I task 29 and now stuck... etc and not from a stock bootloader as well!
Cheers any help will be appreciated, my first thing I will get him to try is a rom reflash but that will be tonight, I'll update on the progress then!
First thing I would check is if his volume button is stuck for some reason. Second would be to see if it detects a USB connection, then hard spl and new rom from that point. Keep us posted.

The post above me is correct check and make sure the volume down button is not stuck/Hung in the down position. If it is stuck in the down position like it is being held down at boot then this is the cause of it going straight to bootloader at boot up. If there is no problem with the volume down button then try a hard reset of the HD2. Warning this will reset your friends HD2 tolike it was fresh out the box so any photos, videos, documents, and etc that is not on the SD card they will lose. Also any contacts that are not backed up withan app like Microsoft My Phone will be lost. To do the reset while the HD2 is off bold the volume up and the volume down buttons down and press and bold the power button down. When you see the tri color screen come up release the volume and power buttons and follow the instructions on the screen (hint: you will want to press the vume up button). Now if after the Hard reset your friends HD2 still goes to bootloader at boot up then download and flash the stock ROM for their HD2 you can find it on HTC.com but make sure you varifiy that it is for their HD2 by entering the serial number of their HD2 you can find the serial number look under the battery. To flash the ROM let the HD2 boot up to the bootloader and then connect it to the computer via USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar of the boooader screen to change to USB and for your computer to show it recognize the pbone and then run the .exe or RUU wich everone the ROM has.
Never thought of the key being held done will try that first.
Also I won't HSPL'ing as its in warranty and a half HSPL'ed phone is well useless
OK so i feel like a bit of an idiot for this one. Turns out what I call a bootloader and he does is totally different. For me Its the tri-colour screen, for him its the red/orange windows boot screen. So it was all solved by a HR. Great..
Sorry for those who offered the advice but it really was not needed. but solid advice it was, you always can rely on help in here
So I tried a crack at android on my HD2 for the second time cuz the first one crashed on me, but I noticed that this version of android didn't come with any sort of data connection at all. I tried to get it back to windows but my phone is stuck on android. I've done soft resets, hard resets, i formatted my sd card, but it still automatically boots back to aqndroid. are there any sort of stock builds for winmo 6.5 for the HD2 out there?
Get into the tri color screen by powering up the phone and holding vol down. Plug phone into computer. Flash the rom.
You can download the rom at HTC or search HD2 stock roms here and you'll find a list. Make sure you pick the right rom. e.g if you have t-mo HD2, pick a rom that is compatible with t-mo.
If you don't pick the right rom and you flash that rom, expect your device might be bricked, so be careful.
N.B. It might, wait, not might, it is, a good idea to read up the guides (all the guides) thoroughly before you start customizing. Otherwise you'll just be asking these redundant questions.

Hw did u get android on ur device? and which build did u try? we need more info if u really want android on ur device...Its pretty easy and it takes less than 10 mins 4 me (or any1) to switch builds @ will..
Anyway to get WinMo back...
1. Hope u've performed a HARDSPL...
2. Just perform a Task29 ( dis wipes your phone clean leaving ur radio & HSPL intact).
3. Visit the WinMo dev section, download a custom or stock WinMo ROM..
4. Follow the Dev's instructions (basically connect usb, enter bootloader, click, click etc).
5. Flash away.
6. Soft reset and u r done!!.
Hello guys,
Before getting frustrated about just another noob; No, I know the stuff with the volume down button, but it doesn't work (anymore) for me. I'm a noob but not a retard.
I have a very strange and frustrating problem. Like many of you I wanted to install Android 2.3 on my HTC HD2. Unfortunately I'm quite stuck. I did put radio 2.15.50.14, the 2.08.HSPL (with HSPL3_PKG), MAGLDR 1.13 and CWM (MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.0.2.5_for_NexusHD2_135M) on my device, but when I tried to install the ROM via AD Recovery the device didn't show the menu and got stuck on "go go go". That's bad, but even worse is that I couldn't enter the tri-color screen to connect via USB and restore the original stock ROM. However I did manage to boot the "Stock Android" (NAND). Only way I can still flash is via USB Flasher. I read something about cabine (.cab) files that could somehow get you in the boot loader on other HTC devices, but can't find any for the HD2.
Anybody has any idea how I can enter the bootloader and restore my original Windows Mobile?
I have been searching for hours now. I have found similar problems, but no answers are given that can solve my problem.
I hope you smart guys can help me out. Is there maybe any way that I can run Windows Mobile the "NAND-way", to connect to Windows Mobile Device Center and flash my device?
Thanks in advance,
Stef van Son
This morning I just tried the volume down again, after the phone was in the MAGLDR menu the whole night. And now i could make it to the bootloader for some strange reason. Does anybody has an explanation for this?
I'm back to Windows Mobile now and have had it with flashing for now, but maybe after my exams I will go for Android again (I hate WinMo).

You might want to use some of the instructions in my signature... Also check out the CoreDroid thread, we have some pretty good instruction there. Usually if you pull you battery, then turn on your phone while holding vol down button, it will boot directly into the rainbow screen.
Well, I did follow quite good instruction manuals, but at the step of flashing the new rom, my device just didn't do what it was supposed to. It's quite strange, because WinMo 6.5 just works perfectly.
And no, pulling the battery out I tried probably a hundred times...
