You have plenty of options. If you are already on Android then you simply use your gmail account and it will sync your contacts/calender etc.
If youa re on windows I think you can do same thing or use sim as suggested or you can also use a program like SPB’s migration tool.

please help

You didnt ask a question about flash.
The HD2 is a excellent phone and I love it. I love trying new roms/software and cant really see myself buying a new phone for a long while.

When u say market, i believe u mean on android...Well there r several ways u can have ur apps backed up..
1. Google does it 4 u automatically...
2. Using softwares like "MyBackup Root/Pro" or "TitaniumBackup"...etc
3. If u've got CWM installed (my favorite)...use it 2 do a full n free backup.
Or are u talking abt d exact location on ur device where the "market" stores downloaded apks?...i'm not sure @ d moment but will browse my fone ltr n see if i can find it.

would someone be so kind and tell me if it's possible to take calls in "imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0"? And what does it mean with "sense" & "sense-free"? Would really appreciate your answers!

I'm not familiar with "imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0's ROM, posting a link to the thread should help us answer ur question better...
"Sense/Sense-free" tags simply tells if the particular build has HTC Sense screen layout & widgets bundled in or not.

With the WinMo installed on HD2 I used Active Sync to sync my contacts with Outlook.
Now using an Android-SD-Build i use the HTC-Software "HTC Sync":

Simply after a fresh install of android: i can go to the market and click on "my apps" and reinstall all my apps?

Well when u first install & run android on ur device, while setting up ur accounts...especially ur gmail acct...well, it asks u if u want ur settings n data backed up to google...accepting it means some of ur phone settings (like remembered wireless networks....etc) and links to apps u've downloaded & installed thru the stock android market all get saved & uploaded 2 google's servers...So d next time u flash say another/d same ROM n while setting up accounts...and u set up d same google acct, ur phone ltr automatically performs a sync (wit internet connection ofcuz)...And things like ur contacts, settings, favorites, and previously installed apps all "magically" (as steve jobs would say) appear in ur programs list...
Summary....wit d option on..wheneva u install an app 4rom d market, android simply remembers the app link, saves it & connects it wit ur email..then when next u flash, it simply re-connects 2 those apps, downloads em and installs...all r done automatically (while sync is on)...Sync takes awhile so u'll have 2 let ur fone settle.

Simple, either on android or WinMo....Just use the built in format option or download n use this sd formatter...Use an external sd card reader or connect ur device as mass storage to format.

[Q] Replacing NANA Build, and Keeping contacts, Apps etc?

Hi there might be another thread with the same question as me but I couldn't find it so I'm just posting a new one. Feel free to send me a link to that one, if there is one!
I am running 2.2 froyo on my HTC HD2 and i want to replace the build , is there a way to do this without losing your contacts and apps and such? Or will all the data be replaced/erased on your phone?
This will be the third time in 3 months my contacts will get erased if it happens and not only me but my friends are starting to get really annoyed!
Thanks for all your help in advance!

Hi, make back up with Titanium backup, or My backup. Flash the new rom and restore your backup.
You may also consider setting up google account. I'm trying to find best ROM for my needs, so I also reflash. Synchronising my HD2 with gmail let me keep all my contacts and appointments. Of course without backup I still have to reinstall all apps.

It appears 4rom the way ur question's asked dat u r not familiar with CWM's or any backup & restore possibilities....well there are several ways but d easiest way 2 get things lyk ur contacts,calendar n market-related apps...is to have a google account...dat should be easy for u, since launching d android market asks for a google acct (if one hasn't been setup b4)..
Alternatively, u can use backup apps lyk Titanium backup root or MyBackup...backing up's easy..restoring across different build's d tricky part so choose wisely...

Guys, no need to be mean...
@asterixhashir
If you want official WinMo ROM you can download it directly from HTC website, Radio is included.
The Android version you are looking for it is called NexusHD2 v2.7. It is very stable and compiled from source of Nexus One.
I'm ok to explain smth to a man who just don't understand how things work. He should try first.
BTW see the name of the thread. He didn't bother reading any rooles.

If website say that it not a ROM for your telephone then you are doing something wrong.
Make sure you select the right phone from list in htc website or that you enter the right code number.
You can not have both installed in NAND. You can find NexusHD2 if you just search. If you want to have both install WinMo and find an SD Android version to put in your SDcard.
It is not easy for us to explain you in 1 post what we have learned by reading countless times the threads here.
If you can't find any solution by yourself then try finding some friend of yours who understand better and help you.
Else you can always find someone to pay to fix your device.
Without wishing to appear rude it is a tad difficult to understand you.
Ii believe you are unable to download the correct official rom for your device. this is sometimes the case that your serial number is not accepted by htc as they offer different roms for different carriers.
try getting YOUR official rom off of this thread. good luck.

There are no tmous roms on HTC site at all. Only on T-Mobile.com, and it will ask for your IMEI not serial.

i dont no more abt this phone bcz i m using for 3 to 4 months ok and i m not always bzy in these kinds of things ..tel me where can i find the official rom not the custom one ok and tell m eabt the best andriod sd rom for hd2
asterixhashir < you can flash back to the original rom that was intended for your hd2.
don't mess around with android roms if you don't know how to do your own homework.
download the the original rom for your t-mobile hd2 and open the exe file with winrar - extract the file "RUU_signed.nbh" and rename it "leoimg.nbh" - copy this file to the root of your sd card - restart your phone while holding on to the volume down button - then follow the steps and your back home with windows mobile. - then you can sell your hd2 and buy a android phone.

Go to the HTC website and flash the latest stock ROM 3.14 for HD2. After this all you need to do is download a ROM from the SD Android section, place the Android folder on the root of your SD card (i.e. not in any folders), go to file explorer, in Android run CLRCAD and then HaReT.

Bloody hell, use the search function! It isn't difficult!
Having said that, this is a complete guide to doing so. And yes, the ROMs tend to be multi-lingual and a lot support RTL writing for Arabic. It should state in the OP if it does.

Does it never occur to you guys on here that we are not all technically savvy as you and just want simple answers to simple questions Nigeldg ?
I've clicked on the link you've suggested and I can't follow it myself, How's this poor fella in Egypt going to ????
Google Video is your best friend!
Jayceooi hd2 video tutorials are very clear and simple to follow!
Download the videos and watch them over and over again until you get it!
Once you have had sufficient exposure to the process of installing nand android (like original) come back to xda and read the tutorials just to make sure the information is up to date!
Don't rush! Keep watching the videos until you "get it"!
Download the files needed to flash. Place them in folders numbered to the sequence required for installation.
I know you feel a little inundated now but once you watch the videos it will make sense!

As you are a native English speaker (or have a bloody good translator) you should EASILY be able to follow that guide. I'm 14 and I could, and I had literally no experience of anything like this beforehand. @lunchmoney (lol) jayceooi's tutorials are indeed very good, and show the step-by step-with text + have links to the XDA threads for downloads and he also answers all his questions on his website.

Nah because he's on an SD building so doing this will ensure that all of the apps won't work. For the same reason an EXT partition is unnecessary. In actual fact you should be moving all of the apps to internal storage.
@OP Unfortunately that isn't your problem and I can't really help you, sorry
