don't know were to start i have had my htc hd2 for about 1wk now i have seen folks with android on there phone but i want win7 on mine now i have been reading threw this forum,but i have know were to start,and what would be the best method in putting win7 on my phone with out bricking it,also does every app on the win7 flash work.any info with detailed instructions will help thanks for everyone that reads and helps me out.
Flashing WP7 to your HD is a pretty simple process and takes no more than 10 min. There are detailed installation instructions available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912416
Only trouble is if your phone comes with SPL 3. Then you must downgrade the SPL by flashing an older stock ROM first in order to be able to install HSPL 2.08.
On the other question: I've not seen an app that doesn't work on the HD2 under WP7.
thanx i will check that out

Since my HTC HD2 from Tmobile the SPL is 2.1
Is it possible to use a cooked rom without HSPL? Or is there another HSPL 2.1 hack.
Also, I searched the forum on downgrading it, which involves microsd. I'm not sure how to do it, anyone care to explain it to me? Thanks ^^
As long as you have one of these SPLs currently on the device - SPL 1.42.0000, SPL 1.62.0000, SPL 1.66.0000, SPL 2.07.0000, SPL 2.08.0000, SPL 2.10.000 you can flash HSPL3.
And you should always have hspl when flashing cooked ROMs
Dude I'm pretty sure there is no spl 2.1....
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It's actually a 2.10.000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893
So I download HSPL3 and do it? Edit: For installing HSPL3, do I have to enter the tri color screen than do it or no? And also, is HSPL3 compatible with TMOBILE?
Also, how do I find out of it's a LEO512 or LEO1024? Like how does it know the HSPL is compatible with me HTC HD2 Tmoible? I know the SPL is 2.10.000
But I read that there is 3 different kind of Leo. So I dont know if it will be compatible
Edit: Let's say I bricked it, how would I enter boot loader?
Bump. need help ASAP ><
To confirm the instruction
1. Run HSPL3 (Do I have to be in the tri color screen in order to install it?)
2. Run the rom I want using CUSTOMRUU (It's a Miri HD2 WM6.5.X (23133) V18) (Do I have to be in the tri color screen? Or can I just plug in the phone and run the custom RUU?
3. After I flashed it, and I want to install Android on it, do I have to do anything about radio version or no? < I am asking this because on my current build, I hear robot voices... After I install the V18 everything should be fine and I don't have to worry about the radio right? Thanks again ^^
Bump! I really need help >< I really want Android on this phone and I keep hearing robot voice when calling..
I don't use the Miri ROM but I would search his thread for all instances of "Android" and see what other users are doing. Sorry I couldn't help more.
Dude... so there's a post in this section, actually one of the first ones in the area... stickyed close to the top (4th thread actually), that talks about EVERYTHING you just asked... and it's specificly for our 1024LEO (T-Mobile HD2)
give it a glance... it also provides the links to HSPL3 and instructions on how to install it.
I ran though this the 2nd day I had my T-Mobile HD2, first phone I've EVER customized, and it's all really straight forward & easy.... just be sure to RTFM
Also, as a bit of help....
when installing a ROM, the RUU will reboot the phone into the Tri-Color to perform the flash... however, if it's the first time the phone has been plugged into the computer while at the TRI-Color... the flash process will time out before the computer finishes installing the drivers required to see the device.... so I suggest going to the TRI-Color manually and pluging the phone into the computer... let the computer install the drivers (when finished, you will see the words change from SERIAL to USB in the white area of the Tri-Color screen) then run the ROM install. The RUU can be run both from the OS and from the Tri-Color
Oh, thanks!
Last question. Currently I have a official ROM from HTC, and when I boot up android, everything works fine except that when I make call I hear a robot voice.
Will flashing to custom rom fix this problem? Or do I have to update the radio? :|

Official T-Mobile ROM? it's possible... both my Fiancee and I have the HD2, I flashed to the Energy ROM, and she used a kitchen and made a custom version of the T-Mobile ROM... when running Android mine works fine on voice, she however gets the robot...
we both flashed to the radio to Leo_Radio_2.12.50.02_2
I recall seeing something about formatting the SD card and trying again to fix the robot voice issue... but I would suggest doing some searches in the HD2 Android Development section first (found in the "other" HD2 section )... I know a lot of people were reporting that issue, so I'm sure someone has "The Fix" for it.
last bit... remember to ALWAYS check if a ROM is TMOUS supported before you flash... getting a ROM from this section is a safe bet (and i think a lot of the custom ROM cooks are starting to cook the Android loader in... I know the Energy ROMs have it) but when you start going to ROMs in the Android Development section made specifically for running Android you need to make sure.
I just got this phone yesterday from a friend. I was given this website and said that I need to download something to turn my phone from a Windows phone to an Android phone but I have no idea what I am doing. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Amanda
So you're starting form scratch? Do you want to run Android off SD card or in the NAND memory? Wiping WinMo (easy to revert back to).
First all you'll need:
HSPL 2.08 (Bootloader)
MAGLDR 1.13
Then ClockworkMod (Not needed, but recommend as it's easier... and you can make back-ups!)
Read this and it'll tell you everything you need to know. Just one thing, make sure you flash the radio mentioned in that thread.
Just one thing... IF YOU HAVE A T-MOBILE US HD2 DO NOT FLASH A .51 RADIO. Your phone won't work anymore if you do.
If that guides to hard to understand, you can always look on YouTube. There are plenty of guides.
Hello,
Heres the story:
I sold today my htc hd2 and someone came by to my house to get it and pay. Now i got a message that he cant get used to android. Now I need info for a simple instalation of windows mobile on the htc hd2. Like Getting a windows mobile RUU.exe and simple install it with 1 setup. The phone has hyperdroid, magdlr 1.13, cwm 1.3
I need your answer fast.

You can just download the official rom and flash it over usb, it will overwrite everything, HSPL, radio, splash screen, everything back to stock. Or you could do the same with most other wm6.5 roms, but if you're giving it to someone not comfortable with it and you don't want to be their phone support guy for the next however long, I would give them the phone stock, or link them to the proper official rom.
If you have a US T-Mobile HD2 (1024): http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml?
If you have an HTC HD2 (512): http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=2
The above instructions are correct, but did not mention that if you have flashed HSPL and MAGLDR that you will need to flash the stock ROM from an SD card that is under 2Gig in size. Just copy the original ROM file to the card, enter bootloader mode and go from there.
One thing, though - if the person who bought your phone can't get used to Android, he's in bigger trouble than he thinks. I mean, what the hell did he think he was buying? Is it that he can't get used to a PDA phone, a touch screen or does he prefer communicating by carrier pigeon? Rhetorical questions, I know, but geez... what the F did the guy think he was getting, and why is it now your problem?
I'm no expert, but I thought I remembered hearing something about how you weren't supposed to flash the original rom from sd, because it somehow makes it so you can't reflash hspl later if you change your mind.
Not 100% on that by any means.
I know this may involve an extra step, but to avoid usage of SD flashing, you can flash a custom HD2 WM6.xx ROM. Then flash the stock ROM..

That may have been the case in the early stages of HSPL development. If you flashed the wrong rom and got stuck on an spl that was not supported by the HSPL versions out then that was so. This is no longer the case now with all spl versions being able to be HSPL'd.
I gave him an link to an official RUU wm 6.5 NL rom. It's an exe file. I told him he haves to run this exe file in android and if that doesnt work he haves to go to boot menu (holding volume down) and if that's doesn't work he haves to try out the usb flasher option in magdlr. I also gave him the link to this forum post.
here is a simplier way to explain it. i use it sometimes if i forget how to do it...

Hi, New to HD2 but not to flashing ROMs ( Mogul, polaris, TyTN 2) got a second hand TMobile USA yesterday. Came with a nand Android 2.2 install, Magldr v 1.11 and spl 2.08 hspl. I intend to flash back to the stock rom ( latest version T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1 ) so I can dual boot with an sd android install. I also intend to check out some of the custom 6.5 builds along the way.
Have installed HTC sync for Android and and all appears to be good. I can also get a usb connection while in bootloader.
I'm assuming its as simple as the 2nd post but I don't want to brick my new phone on my first day . Would somebody please confirm that I'm not making any obvious mistakes? I gather I will then need will need to flash a new HSPL, which version is recommended for my purposes?
I apologize in advance for asking such a simple question but the HD2 forums are new to me and much larger than those for any of my old phones. I have been reading for most of the past week and think I know what I'm doing but I might be completely wrong.
EDIT
Is anybody out there?
I know that posting in "[GUIDE] Flashing Your First HD2 NAND Android Rom [For Newbs]" would be more appropriate but I can't seem to post in it as I just get a bulletin message saying I don't have permission. This is the closest thread I can find for my question.
Many Thanks in anticipation of a reply
Oh well. No replies. looks like I will just have to give it a go. Will play with some other Nand android builds first and upgrade MAGLDR to 1.13. Will also experiment with different radios to see if I can improve battery life as it is shocking (loses nearly 30% in 7 hours while 'asleep").
BTW I think my current radio is 2.08.50.08 (settings/software information/baseband version - second half of string). Happy to stand corrected if this is not where you find the radio version in android - as I said before I'm new to this OS.
In case anyone is wondering. The reason for multiple posts in a dead thread is to reach the number required to post on the more appropriate development thread.
Hope that does not upset anyone. I do promise to come back to this thread and post how I got on. ie successes, failures, tips etc.
hi guys. I wanted to ask how i can run dual boot on my hd2 t mobile (windows mobile and android...) What should i do...?
Well,this was really one of the most frequently asked questions and there have been many tutorials so far.You could have done a bit of research before asking the question. But no worries, since you are asking, i will just post the links for the step by step tutorial.
1) For HSPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Follow the steps. Only steps 1-3 will apply for you. Step 3 is optional,unless you want to flash a custom WM ROM.
2) For Radio:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Download Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14**. If you want to download a lower radio, ensure that it is a .50 version(x.xx.50.xx....).
3) For Android build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735
Download any Android build you want. I am using AmeriCan Android(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652). After extracting,copy the Android Folder into the root of your sd card. Boot into WM,navigate to the Android folder using the file explorer and tap 'clrcad' followed by 'haret'. Android will now boot(first boot will take some time)
4) For dual boot apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733752
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723200
Download any one of the dual boot apps you want. But for both, ensure that you install them in the device,not SD Card. These apps will let you choose if you want to choose WM or Android. It also automatically executes 'clrcad' and 'haret' from the Android folder, so its just a matter of choosing the OS you want.
Done.Ensure that you backup your contacts,settings,etc via PIM backup or if you are using a different backup app,you can use that as well. Also, follow all steps in the links clearly. If you have any questions, ask. Failure to comply with instructions may brick your HD2. I hope this helps and kindly do a bit of research before posting questions here. But since this involves flashing, i am helping, so that the chances of you bricking your phone is minimised.

If you are wanting to dual boot Windows Mobile and Android then you do not even need HSPL. You only need HSPL if you want to flash anything to the NAND of the HD2. Android from SD runs via the SD card and does not effect the NAND in any way. So no you do not need to flash HSPL again.
ok ty very much i made the dual boot... yeeey ... can you give me a good WM rom? i flashed my hd2 with the ugliest rom ever
Check out the Energy ROMs, people seemed to love them.
Hey guys,
I have done quite a bit of searching around and have not really found a direct answer. I have dualboot American Android running and I want to update it. What are the proper procedures in updating a dual boot ROM? Thanks

You can update it by changing the contents of the android directory. You should have a backup of your data

Wow, you need to read a LOT more carefully. You seem not to understand most of the key terms here, you have not got HSPL 3.14 you have Official stock ROM 3.14. Fortunately, that makes things much easier. See this guide in order to flash NAND Android. You will need HSPL but you can skip the step about flashing a new radio as your current stock ROM conveniently gives you this. Please ensure you read this THOROUGHLY before flashing as, although you wouldn't brick your device if you messed up, you will waste your time flashing things again.
For the first time flash I would try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783 It's easier when you have all in one tool.
^+1 on that
just got another one with WM6.5
just ran the HD2 toolkit & now it's Android & ready for WP7
