All hail WP7 on the HTC HD2! So glad I bought this instead of the TG01 or Nexus One

Nice bro. Good work. One thing people really need to know is that WP7 will format your SD card.. Everyone keep this in mind and dont lose your files!

will it work on the touch pro 2 gsm wvga

I see that's a EURO HD2, i thought the readme said only 1024 TMOUS versions work?
Btw one question, if you want to revert back to Android, is it the same process of getting a NAND rom and installing the .exe again?

No. First off, the HTC HD2 is the only device capable of running WP7 (Capacitive touch, 1ghz QSD, etc). Second off, this ROM is designed for the HD2, so I'd assume it would brick your Touch Pro 2, even if you could manage to make it flash. Sorry.

How do i backup my nand rom? Or do you only have to backup you SD card?

I assume so... the readme says you can flash back to Windows Mobile, so worst comes to worst, flash to Windows Mobile and then back to MAGLDR. But you should be able to just flash Android NAND.
And yes, it is a European HD2 (not sure what carrier). Everything is working fine, and if I recall, the T-Mobile US version will be forced to 512 if you flash this. Read that in the readme I believe, or maybe I'm confusing something. Either way, it works great on my European HD2.

This will replace *everything* on your device, including your SD card contents, so I'd back up your important files and take that SD card out before trying it.

Ok, but there's no way i can backup my android installation. So when i reinstall android i don't have to reconfigure android.

I've never used Android NAND, but I would have to assume your Android configuration will be lost, unless there's an application that will back it up and store it somewhere for reuse.

Does it work on my HD2 T9193 Telstra? Since my device only has 512MB Rom, NOT a tmobile version has 1GB Rom.

My European HD2 has 512mb rom afaik, and it's working fine. To quote the readme, also:
"LEO1024:
At current moment LEO1024 supported, but only 512 megabytes of NAND is used. "
So I assume the Telstra version will work too, if you're willing to give it a shot.
Good luck!

I want to say "yes", you should be able to slip it in the microSD slot and it should automatically format. Of course, it'll be WP7-only forever, so be careful!

my phone just wont get past the 0% stage when updating the ROM.

Strange... do you have radio 2.08 or higher, and HSPL3 installed?

You can backup your nan android search this site It makes a backup file on you sd card you can copy to your computer, you have to boot into that first screen by holding down on power button while phone boots

[Q] difference betwwen NAND and SD card android development.

some say that u should use HSPL.. some are against it... some say that we should flash android from SD card , some are again against it..
WHAT I NEED:-
1)i want to put android in my phone. preferably 2.2 froyo as i think that 2.3 mite be heavy for HD2.

NAND means is short for NAND. memory/ NAND chip. This is what is called the flash memory of the HD2. It is also where the Windows Mobile OS is. So if you flash a NAND Android ROM you will wipe Windows Mobile, also your HD2 will boot into Android when you turn your HD2 on. You have to have MAGLDR or cLK to do this though.
Installing to NAND is faster and more stable, since the SD card might not have the read/write speeds to supply the OS. What is more, running Android from SD is booting up WinMO first and Android second, which is obviously slower.
I have a DesireHD ROM on my HD2, I have tried gingerbread builds too but without Sense it sucks imo. Hardware is more than enough, SetCPU just rocks (overclocking).
There is a nice and comprehensive guide on how to install the stuff, first HardSPL, then flash a new radio, then install MAGLDR, then flash an Android build (preferably rooted, I have had problems with rooting since z4root does not work).

-Yes. It will wipe your Winmo completely
-Yes. If you flash NANDROID, then you will only have Android.
-Some NANDROID ROM works, some dont. It really depends on your handset conditions and the rom itself. You might experience that you cant flash certain Nandroid Rom while others can, vice versa. But dont worry, there are many roms you can try out and see it if it is suitable for your needs

Click on my guide in my sig to learn some about your HD2 and also make sure to go to the bottom of my guide which is the bottom of post #3 and read the warning about the radio versions you can not flash to the HD2 or you will brick it. PM me if you need to, but please read the stickie threads and the links to guides in the stickie roll up threads also. Ckeck out the "New to XDA?" link in my sig to learn how to get the most out of XDA. Happy hunting!

Just so you know it is not unusual for a SD card build to not boot all the way up on the first time around. But bit usually if you do a reset and try booting it again it boots. Look into getting yourself a dual boot app too, just go to HD2 Windows Mobile themes and apps and do a search for Dual Boot apps or something like that. Turning HTC Sense hels with running Android from SD and also booting Android with in the first 10 to 15 secounds after Windows Mobile boots up helps out to, this is to keep Windows Mobile from establishing a data connection.
If you can't boot download a daf and run daf through USB flasher in magldr

Not being a smart a** but you do realize the OP is talking about running Android from SD card and not NAND right?
At the OP you said you run Unbuntu so you migbt want to check this article out that was in the Portal and follow the dev that is working on it. He is working on a app to " Hot Boot Into Debian From Android in the HD2" I think you might be interested in this, it is a short video there as well.

thanks! i'm interested on that because im able to run android 2.3.3 from SD but when i use it runs smooth and fast but if i power off the screen and stay there for some time it freezes and need to remove the battery.. so would be nice if i can launch ubuntu from android so i would install in nand and launch ubuntu from it.
thanks i've just downloaded the apk from that tool and i'll try it on my HD2.
hi, i know i've asked so many things here, but i still confused,
i read about HD2 leos on here and search here for ROMS for my HD2 but they don't say anything clear.
i was thinking on upgrade it with the official tmobile rom 3.14 i enter my imei and it says it's compatible but, my cellphone it's unlocked, do u know if i upgrade it with the official tmobile update it will get locked again?
i want to upgrade with the official because i don't know if flash HSPL3 on my TMOUS 1024 HD2:
OS Version: 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
Manila Version: 2.5.20121412.2
ROM Version: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio Version: 2.10.50.26
and i notice that my battery doesn't last that much and i have wifi turned off... and want a better rom, if not a custom rom maybe the official upgrade but i want to know what about if my cellphone locks again to T-Mobile and i can't use it with my carrier.

Hd2 help with roms..

HI, I'm running Android 2.2 Desire Sense from Nand. Magldr 1.3 I was wondering if I can download another Rom to my SD card from my phone and flash? I'm new to this so any links to download any great roms to my phone would help. Thanks in advance. Also, I believe windows is wiped from the phone and when I go into Rom Manager is detects my phone as an HTC Desire. I'm so confused.

Well your confusion confuses me, what has windows got to do with rom manager?
Windows is gone yes, You installed MAGLDR which wipes windows allowing you to put Android on the nand in its place.
It says HTC Desire because that is the build you have installed on your device.
If you are new to all this I would highly recommend taking the time to go read some guides etc and learn all the info you need is there waiting for you. There is also a HD2 Toolkit in the NAND forum in sticky topic.
I'm a fan of HTC Sense. Sorry for confusing you, I'm new to this whole flashing thing. I've looked many times trying to find any kind of rom to download with no luck.

So where have you tried because you are obviously looking in wrong place if you cant find any roms lol.
You need to go into the HD2 Android NAND Developmet section.
If you like sense roms you should try this one..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931126
Its based on the stock Desire build but is more stable and has more features.
Are you asking if you can run to roms at the sometime similar to how a SD build works or are you asking if you can put a different new nand Rom on your phone because you would like to try out other roms?
Also if you look under hd2-android-nand you will find a list of roms you can download to your SD card to flash.

You´d have to store the RUU.exe file directly on your SD card, then extract it, and finally save the ROM image file as "leoimg.nbh". If this does work with any Windows Mobile compression/decompression software, I never tried.
Or, if you do have HSPL on your phone, maybe it will work with any custom ROM, directly stored onto your SD card.

Why on earth would he want to do that?? That is to flash Windows Mobile.
Hes asking about Android roms, Hes basically asking if he can download a CWM zip file via his phone and then flash that without need for PC.
@ OP
Yes you can do this but ONLY if your system partition that you currently have is compatible with teh rom you intend to flash. For example some roms need say 150MB partition, If you try and flash one that has more it wont work.
What you would o if you have compatible partition is..
Download CWM zip rom
Power off phone (do not reboot it can corrupt SD on HD2 Android)
Power on phone
Hold power until MAGLDR menu displays choices
Choose AD Recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Advanced>Wipe Dalvik Cache
Install zip from sdcard>Choose zip
Yes by far TheATHEiST instructions are the way 2 go. i might point out its worth keeping maybe the top 2 ROMs you like best on your SD if you have the space that is. this will allow you 2 go between ROMs on the fly.
Awesome!! That's the answer I've been looking for. Thanks so much!!!

A few questions

Hello everybody.
I am new to the board - well, to posting at least. I have been browsing for information for a while and with thanks to threads here, managed to root my hd2 successfully, but a few things are still not working for me properly, so I have a few questions
---
1. I had to ring a company earlier today, which was an automated service and upon them requesting I click a certain number to be redirected to where I wanted, I clicked and it had no impact on the call - they just said they did not recognize a request and continued to repeat the question.
So, does anybody know the setting I need to change to fix this?
---
2. I am in the UK and on my old phone, a blackberry (Don't worry, I have seen the light now!) I could get decent connection, even when not in an WiFi area, therefore using 3G. With the HD2 however, even by changing the radio settings in the *#*#4636#*#* I am never able to get a decent signal outside of a WiFi zone.
I am using the Radio from these forums. The Leo one with the exe being named RUU_CUSTOM. I will try and find it later.
Is the problem with the radio and I need a UK specific one? I have tried GSM (all variations) from the menu stated, which is out local frequency I believe, but with no success.
Or am I missing something else?
---
3. My Android ROM was made for a NEXUS ONE (The gingerbread one), so could this be causing the problems above?
I had to use this one because I could not find another one which would work using CWM.
I tried numerous and after installing, it would not load due to "Kernal Load Error" - so I had to settle on this one.
My partner is American and has an HD2 also, but her's is the American model, and she has no problem installing the mass of the ROM's available around these boards. Could the fact my model is the UK one, make any difference? I would not assume so, but it seems there is a difference somewhere.
Does anyone know the reason for these points?
I thank you all in advance for any help you provide.
-Luke
Radio 2.15.50.14 is the recommended radio for using Android. I'm not too sure about the UK, but I've used my American HD2 on both Tmobile and FarEasTone [ Taiwanese carrier] without any problems, so it *should* work for you too.
The Nexus One build is one of the best Stock Gingerbread ROMs available for the HD2. That shouldn't be the problem. I'm guessing the problem is you might be using the wrong radio. I recommend flashing back to stock WM 6.5 and starting fresh.
Also, there's tons of ROMs available for CWM! However, as you have the UK model, I suggest staying away from a Sense ROM, as they require an ext4 on your sdcard for your model, and that's always been laggy for me. Try MIUI, CM7, or stick with the Nexus build is my suggestion.

I just looked at my phone and the ROM I am using is GRJ90 (NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.9 NAND), which I agree, works well other than these couple flaws, which are not necessarily related to the rom.

Ok, I am new to all of this and it took me multiple hours just to get android to run on this, but I did the NAND install, so I do not have the WM on my phone, even as a dual boot option.
I will perhaps try to find one though, should I not be able to find the answers anywhere else first

I did try the CM7 ROM (TyphooN_CM7_v3.7.0-cLK), but that came up with the kernal issue too. I did try a fair few more, but they all did the same until I come to the nexus, so I stuck with it.
May have to take your advice and start the process over again. *yikes*
Oh, okay, radio shouldn't be the problem then.
Do you have MADGLR or cLK bootloader installed? If you have MADGLR, than that may be the reason why that particular CM7 ROM isn't working, as you tried out the cLK version.

You may want to look into hd2 toolkit. It makes task29, fashing and installing magldr, clk, and recovery extremly easy. I've had problems with the typhoon cm7 and would not recommend it. Try doing a task 29 and try clk instead of magldr. Clk uses ppp and magldr uses rmnet. Rmnet is haveing trouble but ppp is good. Try a more up to date gingerbread edition for clk and I think that will solve your problems.
The main difference between HD2 UK and American is the amount of internal storage. UK has 512 where Americn has 1024

Does anyone have a smooth 720p recording on an Android rom?

Some of the Sense 3.0 ROMs have 720p recording. I don't specifically know which ones though.
Just look at a couple threads, the OP should say if 720p recording is supported.

720p recording is only supported in Windows Phone 7 Roms

Rebooting into Windows Mobile

Hi
I followed this tutorial to installing Android on an SD card. This worked well for the first time.
I used a 4GB SD card, and my radio is 2.8.000. Though what happens is when I load it, the 'loader' launches fine, though then reboots the device into Windows Mobile. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the Windows Mobile ROM being custom or not.
NOTE - I am a noob to custom roms ect, therefor I thought it would be a good idea to post the tutorial source. I'm also sorry if I did not include enough information.
If anyone has had this problem or knows a solution, all help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Francis

HSPL won't affect SD Android and (if I'm not mistaken) he has a .50 radio which is fine for booting Android... unless he got the SPL/HSPL version and the radio version confused, which is likely as radio 2.8.000 doesn't exist, I think he meant HSPL 2.08. In this case OP, flash a newer radio with .50 (see this thread)

Basically yeah, and to flash Cutsom ROMs. It is of course needed for everything to do with NAND Android as well, but as far as I know SPL version doesn't affect SD Android, only the radio does. When I used SD Android I just skipped the whole HSPL/Radio things and just flashed the latest stock ROM 3.14 which gave me the latest radio, then ran Android

I've tried something like this before. Though I had issues with it not picking it up. It would just hang at 0%. I'm not sure if this was because I was doing something wrong or not. Do you know how to resolve this issue? I used ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center on different machines.
Thanks.

I'm using a 4GB memory card. I'm using a custom ROM, in my case CleanEX DsE Core V3.5 WWE. I do not know how to remove this because it came with the device. Could this be the reason for the rebooting back into Windows Mobile?
The radio version is SPL-2.08.0000
Thanks.

You're becoming very confused. SPL 2.08 is not the radio version, it is the SPL version. You should have HSPL 2.08 and Radio 2.15 is recommended. You can check radio version in WinMo by going to settings>software information>radio (if I'm not mistaken at least, it's been ages since I used WinMo) and your radio should be 2.xx.50.xx (in other words, 2.08 or above). If it isn't, see this guide for all the info you need

Oh, sorry. Yes, I was very confused.
In that case, my radio version is 2.10.50.08_2
So this shows that I need to update the Radio version?

No, in that case this radio is perfectly fine. Have you tried a full format of your SD card to FAT32 format? This often helps.

I've tryed this multiple times, though it has not helped. I have even tryed using a program for SD cards. I have a feeling it is something to do with the custom ROM in Windows Mobile, though I cannot restore it due to having problems with CustomRUU.
Is their any equivalent to CustomRUU? Or a way to get round the problem?

OK I know this may seem patronising, but the Android files are in a folder named 'Andriod' with a startup.txt with rel_path='Android' right?

Yup, the startup file contains
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set cmdline ""
boot
I think it may be a problem with the Android version or something.
Is there another Android SD card version here? I don't mind if it has HTC Sence or not.
I've just tried 2 different versions of Android (for SD cards) and it did the same thing. Though with one of them it worked the first time, though when I restarted it, it would not work after that.
Something wrong with the HD2?

Startup.txt should have:
set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0"
