So im no good on this whole switching your HD2 to android. and awhile back i tried and never made it. i was wondering if someone could give me a step by step instructions on what to do, like how to flash a new Windows mobile on my phone, then to put what theme or what android version to put on there. if anyone could give me any help it would be much appreciated. I will take your opinion on your preference of a good windows mobile mod to flash and same with an android. Please help! Thanks so much.
Bump. I would really like some help.
Go to this thread read the 1st page then download the Rom after you unzip the file open it and read the Tutorial. It is a step by step guide you cant go wrong

Yay! thank you!
Ok so, ive been going through the steps to get android and everything flashed onto m phone, but one problem occured. After i got RUU flashed, i cant get MAGDLR to work it. when i boot up the Rom update Utility it simply says " error [208]: file open" update utility cannot open the requested file. any help?
BTW i did everything step by step, First i did the HSPL, then Radio ROM version 3.27.4.3, then i try to flash RUU but it just gives me the error.
ignore my post just above this. im lost, ive gone back and tried re flashing the radio to see if that caused the problem, but it didnt change anything. Any ideas?
If you have an hd2 then you should not have to changeover radio it should already be 2.15.50.14 which should be good enough

ok but why cant i get RUU to flash? or is that the radio?
i know im a newbie.
What version of magldr do you have
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
i downloaded the newest 1.13.
but when i run the RUU.exe (rom update utility.exe) from the folder it gives me an error.
did you unzip the file before running it
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yes i did. I unzipped it to my desktop.
Did your phone connect to the pc first before running magldr
Sent from my HTC HD2 blue topia using XDA app
yes. at least i believe so when i first tried it. ive gone through several attempts.
Try it this way power off your phone and hold down the volume down button and the power button to turn it back on it should bring you to a multi color screen then it should say USB at the bottom if the pc sees it if so run magldr
Sent from my HTC HD2 blue topia using XDA app
shoud i skip trying to use the rom utility update?
Also maybe my download is missing something, but there is not actual exe or program called Magdlr. its just the folder called magldr
this is really getting ridiculous, like ive followed the step by step instructions. its the RUU.exe that wont run.
BUmp for help.
Erase and redownload
Sent from my HTC HD2 blue topia using XDA app

For sure I am f***d. Today I decided to root my hero using the guide showed on villainrom website. My hero runs 2.1 and yersterday I updated it with the official release that gives G calibration. I've installed Htc sync 3.0 so that I will not need to install any driver for sdk(because I need sdk to root as explained on villainrom topic "how to root htc hero with 2.1). I downloded Gsmroot and made my hero recognized but adb. By the way, I pasted the content of tools folder in sdk in Gsmroot one. I ran cmd and runindos.bat. My hero rebooted one time and the second time nothing happened. I just got a picture of error (the red one with hero). I don't know what to do. Doing the update was a mistake? I AM I F****ED?

That red icon with hero is NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
All you need to do is reboot the phone with a button combination (can't remember which, but I think it's menu+volume up), and get rebooted. the phone is untouched.
Then do the process again. This red screen is what HTC put in front of the recovery screen, but it is nothing bad.
Will edit your title, as it's a little extreme.

One last question: how to flash FroydVillain 1.4.0-1.4.1 Hotfix? I know hat I must go to recovery mode but how to do it?
What a wonderful feeling!
Did you manage to get froydvillain 1.4.0-1.4.1 done in the end? If not - you flash it the same way as any zip when in recovery. Just make sure, as always, it is in the /sdcard/ folder.
Thank you Captain! I wonder how to install appliacatons on sd card now. Can you help me too?
There is an Apps2SD guide on here or Villainrom.co.uk. Link was in my sig.... forgotten where it has gone...

Hey guys I was hopeing I could get some help on removing or changing the first image I see when the phone turns on. Its the old blue energy logo from a previous rom. I see it before magldr comes up.

Just look for a wallpaper you want, download it, then there will be a RUU, boot to bootloader and flash it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
wait i thought the RUU was for roms. You can just download a wallpaper and install it from RUU? maybe im confused. I'm running 2.3 andriod on my hd2.

for the first screen (aka splash screen - doesn't matter if WM, android, W7 - it is all the same.)
the prior post was a tad simplified, but the process is quite easy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895089
The bootloader and RUU is to update anything on the phone via bootloader and not just ROM's.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
what you guys have to explain to the OP is that because this phone is not a native android and it's a wimno phone , you need to use a nbh to change the splash screen, you can flash it from the sd card if you want without needing a RUU, just rename the splash screen .nbh to leoimg.nbh and put the phone into bootloader and flash.
thank you guys learned a lot!
Using MAGLDR v1.13 & CMR 3.1. I've tried to flash - NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta2 by tytung. I've wiped dalvik cache, wiped my data, & did a clean wipe of my SD card. I reboot into CWR in install & my phone keeps restarting. It never makes it to the boot animation screen. I've also had issues with a few other ROMs- But I'd rather focus on getting ICS on my HD2.
I'm using T-Moblie (US) HTC HD2
& I've followed the steps in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354267
I'm still fairly new to XDA & just looking for some help to see if I've over looked something or need to go in a different direction.
Thanks to anyone that can help.
12-11-11 Flashed NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta5
1) Phone freeze/runs slow.
2) Occasionally restarts (often during sms)
3) Also G+ app wont update - Error Package file was not signed correctly
Any ideas?
Did you make sure to flash the correct system partition sizes? That was a problem I had one time, I forgot to do that step.
I've tried. I'm not sure how to check that I did it correctly. What steps/tools do I used to get that done?

Firstly, why are you using beta2 when latest is beta5? Not saying thats is the problem, just that don't see why you would want to use outdated version.
Second, Get HD2 Toolkit, it has easy to use tools to do everything you need to prep HD2 for flashing.
If you already have magldr just use the repartition tool after entering USB Flasher mode in magldr and then re-partition to needed sizes then flash rom using cwm.
I'm still downloading beta5 & before I try this again with the latest version I want to get it done correctly. Is the repartition tool within my already installed magldr or is it from the hd2 tool kit. I ask this because I'd need some help using the toolkit. I've tried to use the partitioning feature on there and that's where things would've went wrong.
Thanks

You are missing the recovery software or it is damaged. Best bet is to repartition and install a reasonably current recovery.
THE FOLLOWING WILL COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR DEVICE!!
First, download this file to your pc:
dafexe_399.zip - 5.17 MB
Unzip it into an empty folder.
Using something like notepad++ not Windows notepad) edit the FLASH.CFG file. Change the lines that show system and cache to what your rom recommends (you may wish to make system bigger in case your device has bad blocks.)
Do NOT change the line that has recovery on it!
Connect your device to the PC, place it in the tri color bootloader and run daf.exe
If all goes well you should have a clean, repartitioned device with a working recovery when finished.

So magldr was installed?
And recovery? So have you tried to install from recovery, (install zip from sdcard option)?
You can also try and install stock win mobile 6.5 for your device by putting the LEOIMG.nbh file on sdcard and holding volume down button while booting. This will help to determine if you have a hardware issue.
Edit: apologies, I misread your second post, task 29 failed !
Seems like the toolkit is not working. Can you get to magldr screen? ( press and hold power button). If so just do a full wipe and install the ROM zip from magldr recovery.
