Hello.
Im loving my HTC HD2. I think its a great PPC, and im happy with its settings too.. I have some questions about Android that I hope you could help me with.
1. If im gonna try Android. I want to back up my WM6.5 with all settings etc. Is it possible to make a image of my current OS+settings+programs? And How do I "go back" to my WM6.5 if its a total failure?
2. How do Android on HTC HD2 work? Does it remove WM6.5 at all or run as "dualboot"?
3. I had TyTn2 before. Many had problems with HardSPL, bricking and such.. Is it a big chance that Android will do the same?
4. Any tips?

1. Android for HD2 is at the moment only aviable for SD-Card boot. NAND - boot will come. So SD-Card means that it wont erase anything from you winmob rom. You need HSPL (means you loose warranty, but restoring is simple) to flash a radio > or = 2.08. The rest is very simple and not dangerous. So you wont need to backup the phones date. If you format your sd card you should backup the things on it as you know. Android works quite well. like a native android phone! try it!
A real dual boot doesnt exist but will come.
Do I erase anything with applying HSPL? Or do I just "patch" my curret radio?
First check your radio it needs to be 2.08.50 or above but ending in 50
if not you will need to flash see

I have no problems running this on a stock tmobile 1.72 rom with the radio upgraded to 02.08.50
Whats up everyone, quick help here. I got a hd2 from someone and they tried to flash the phone to dual boot android on it. The guy was unsuccessful in doing so as a result the phone now freezes when it boots up and i would have to take out the battery to turn it off.
Do I have to flash the phone back to the original windows 6.5 rom to resolve this?
any help is appreciated
Depends on what you finally want to have on that device.
If you want to go back to WinMo 6.5 as major OS, it certainly is the easiest way just to flash a stock ROM.
If you still want to continue with a NAND Android build, maybe it´s enough to check the versions of SPL, Radio ROM, and MAGLDR - as well as the Android ROM that was flashed. Could have been a bad flash after all.
But since your data is extremely meager, no way to give a generic and easy hint.
thanks for the incite..first i want to get it bak to factory settings so i will want to flash it back to the original rom.then ill look into flashing it myself with the droid rom without windows..no dual boot.
do you have a link i can follow to flash it back to the original windows rom?
same problem Please help
Hello there I was the same problem with my HTC, I can't flash it back to the original rom. It's just frozen at the boot loader... What should I do? It's not recognize on my pc...
what do you mean frozen at the bootloader? it won't recognize if you plug in usb at all?
Hello guys,
Does anyone know what does this message mean:"ERROR: ERROR: Cannot read ramdisk image"?
It appeared on my HD2 while I was installing an Android ROM on it and now I cannot run any other OS on it but Windows Mobile. I tried Google but had no luck. Only one person as far as I understood experienced this problem but I have no reply from him and I am not even sure if he managed to solve the problem anyway.
So, if anyone knows something about it I would be happy to hear. Any help would be useful. Thanks in advance!
Best regards

Did u flashed radio ?
I reflashed radio, did task29, flashed hspl, flashed Magldr, flashed stock WM ROM from my PC, then again from sd card and no result. WM ROM works ok but that's it. No Android or WP7 can be flashed. In order to be more specific, here is what I do:
1. HSPL 2.08
2. task29 with Radio 2.15
3. Magldr
4. CWM
And when I try to enter AD Recovery from the Magldr menu I receive the message I mentioned in my first post and there is nothing more to be done but using the phone with WM which in my opinion makes out of my HD2 a piece of crap.

Let mi simple u Task29 and Radio Rom
Task 29 - When u do task 29 to phone u delete everything even radio rom. So the thing u need to do is do this for magldr :
-Task29
-Radio Rom
-Magldr
-CWM
-Wipe
-Flash Rom
-Calibrate battery (some roms do it itself)
If it will make u easier i can make tutorial but im pretty much sure there is milions of them .
Try that way and report if it worked . Its 30min process.
EDIT: HD2 powered by WM is crippled yea. Android is far superiour even withou cam. But let me tell u one thing first thing why i tooked HD2 is Windows by stock and customization possible. Didnt carred about low battery etc. Windows is till now unbeatable bussines platform. iOs is near but its not it. Android hard to get bussines capable like windows 7. What I mean windows is bussines ready,iPhone is kinda ready and on android u have to customize like hell to get everything (at least what I as system admin need)
Task29 does not delete your radio. I was sure of it because I had flashed my phone a lot of times in the past, but anyway, I tried your method and the result was the same. When I install Magldr and then CWM, the phone does not let me enter the CWM menu so I cannot continue with the flashing of the Android ROM itself. It is just not possible without CWM. I also tried cLK method but when I press and hold the home key, the phone restarts and I get to a dead end once again. Thanks for your help anyway.
As far as WM is concerned, there is absolutely no chance for me to use this phone with this OS. if I cannot find a way to manage the problem I will just sell the phone and buy a native Android one which will make things much easier for me.
Best regards
Which rom are u trying to install?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
It is all the same which one because when you are not able to enter the CWM menu you cannot install anything, but for instance, let's say this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264828
I had problems booting that rom too. Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326217 almost perfect. Mwakious has some bugs i w8 for him to fix it
You don't follow what I say. I cannot enter CWM menu so I cannot even start flashing any ROM, it doesn't matter which one it is.
Merry Christmass by the way!
Which windows mobile u have/had ? Can u run android from sd ? Can u tell me exact procedure u tried to install nand android? If u want to try ffaster u can pm me to send u skype or gtalk.
Hi
I have the same issue, in bootloader on ad recovery.. i get cannot read ramdisk image, I will not uninstall ANDROID, because I will no longer support android, if I can not install any other roms
Any other advice, but to not lose my actual ROM!!!!
PS: I had installed ROM Manager latest, and installed clockwork from rom manager, Till then the recovery worked....
Had the same problem yesterday. I used the HD2 Toolkit to repartition, by the way it installs Recovery 5.
Then everything worked fine.

Could you please explain me step by step how exactly you managed to solve the problem. I installed HD2 Toolkit 4.2.0.1 and try to use Update recovery function but the console that opens after I start the process freezes and I cannot continue. There is an explanation in it saying that probably the USB connectin is not good. However I use the USB flasher in Magldr menu for this connection between the phone and the PC and I don't know another way to connect both devices for the installation process. Is there something that I am missing?
By the way The message that I receive now when I try to open CWM changed from "...cannot read ramdisk image" to "...cannot read kernel image". Does it make any difference?
Thanks in advance!

For this question I do not know any answer, but for USB Connection I know because I had the same problem:
Put your phone in debugging mode.. and connect it to PC..
Use usbdeview to delete any android drivers from that list..
Then in device manager find any new hardware, and right click, and update: Browse my driver manually> Let me pick my driver> find the driver from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783 find "Download Drivers By T-Macgnolia", and after that you need to find Android Driver installed in device manager, after that hd2 toolkit will work.
Solution
You have to copy the files in the. Zip attachment inside the SD.
Make the whole process as usual, but instead choose the option you choose AD Recovery Boot option AD DS.
This way you can access the recovery menu and load the rom.

Thx a lot!!!
This worked for me- just perfect!!!

Worked for me as well, thanks very much, I was about to see how far the phone could fly.

Hi, and many thanks.

Hi,
I have Gingerbread 2.3.5 (Nexus) as the only Operation System on my HD2. It crashes when I use some application e.g. Scan my SD card for medias, using a music player. Now I want to switch to a better ROM like MIUI (that's what I've heard). How can I do that?
Please consider that:
- I'm beginner
- I have only Android (No Windows)
- I have HSLP v 3.* (A version of MIUI which I downloaded and tried to install, only support HSPL v 2.* or bellow)
I will appreciate any kinds of help.
Thanks,
Mas

If I'm not mistaken, this is the bootloader and other info which I have:
LEO100 HX-BC SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.5.0.1
SPL 3.03
RADIO-2.15.50.14
And bytheway, it seems that I made a mistake in my subject. In the bootloader menu it says "NAND Android"

Where did you get it from? And if you're a beginner, how did you manage to get Android on it?

Well! I asked (and paid) someone to install it for me
I'm thinking about re-installing a Windows and then install an android on my SD card if I don't have any other options.
You've been given a fake I think. The HD2 doesn't have HBOOT or S-ON/OFF in the bootloader.

haha. Well I got it as a brand new phone some times ago by myself and was using Windows phone but recently asked from someone to install Andorid on it so it is not a fake.
I wonder to know if there is a way to return my windows phone back and then install an Android on its SD card.

Could you upload pictures of the screens where u see that stuff?
And to return to winmo 6.5,
1. downlad the rom from htc.com
2. boot into the bootloader ( to do this, turn off the phone, turn it on while holding the volume down and power key until u boot into the bootloader )
3. Connect your phone to the pc using the usb
4. The 'serial' word should change to 'usb', at this point, just run the rom.
All this is assuming you have a HD2.

Thanks for your reply and assumption!
I have a question though, do I need to do task29 first then do your 1-4 steps?
I won't face any problem due to the version of my SPL etc?

Hi, I would use task29, as it wipes the internal memory clean. Do note that some people have bad blocks ( a bit of corrupted memory ) after using task29. But i have used it alot and never faced this issue, If u havnt done it before, no harm it using it.

tnx.
I will try task29 and lets see what will happen.
As you can see in the title, I have a NAND Gingerbread 2.3.5 (Nexus) and I'm not very happy with it so I want to recover my winmo 6.5 and then install another rom of Androdi on my SD. Am I in the right path?
- task29
- put the stock rom on my SD
- reboot and install the winmo 6.5
regards,
Masood
its basically task29, then u boot into the bootloader, ( because the internal memory is wiped, nothing else u can boot into ), then u connect the phone to the pc using the usb, then just run the rom u downloaded, its an executable. If it reads the phone ( which it will ) it will automatically install winmo 6.5
And just to inform you, u have a really really old rom. After winmo 6.5, i suggest u install one of the latest gingerbread roms. I use Typhoon's rom, its really fast and smooth and bugfree. PERFECT for everyday use

Alright. U have android 2.3.5. Thats really old. You will have to answer some questions,
1) Do you have clockworkmod recovery( CWR ) installed?
2) Did u flash the rom yourself? Are you familiar with the whole flashing process?
I'm guessing you already have MAGLDR bootloader installed. And you dont need to remove everything. You will be adding a few things, thats all.
Btw, you will have to make backups of everything you need. Eg, stuff on your sd card, pics and all. And your SD card WILL BE WIPED CLEAN.
I JUST READ YOUR OLD POST. lol sorry
If you have MAGLDR installed, Which probably is, you dont need task29. Its quite simple from there actually
