Hello,
I have been reading quite a bit here including all the stuff about ensuring that I don't brick the phone and which roms to install etc. etc.
Anyhow, I couldn't find any detailed threads about folks who might've tried installing Android on stock windows.
I went ahead and tried using it today and android did load up fine. Everything seems to work perfectly. The only issue is that the dialer freezes when I am dialing numbers and I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me. So I will try another android flavor.
What I wanted to confirm was that if I am using Android on default windows, is there a chance I can brick my phone?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Impossible to brick your phone because its just running off the mem card I've been running android on a stock rom for about a month now, just make sure you've got an appropriate radio version etc...
cool..thanks for your response..
also, what do you mean by the radio version? I basically installed, http:/ /forum.xda-developers.com/s howthread.php?t=740963
that's all i did. Do you mean to say I have to install a radio version separately?
Thanks

What version of the HD2 do you have? T-Mobile US?
I used my stock UK O2 172. ROM
1st HSPL
2nd Updated Radio
3rd Loaded Darkstone Froyo
I haven't had any probs and android is running fine.

I should've been more specific. Yes it is a tmobile US version.
I just recently go android working on my tmous phone using stock rom. I had to do the following to get it 100% functional
1) Install HSPL3 and flash the radio to version 2.12 (it actually said something like 2.08 in the HSPL app)
2) Flash to ChuckyROM lite
3) Copy darkstones Froyo 2.2 build to sd card
Thats it, everything works now. I had the same problems as you so I would take this route if I were you. Keep in mind that flashing to chuckrom is going to replace the windows theme you normally see when you start your phone. From there you can use the included Android launcher utility so you can then quickly boot up android instead of windows.
Personally I could care less what windows rom/theme is loaded since my goal is to convert to Android completely. Although I will say that I immediately noticed an improvent in windows overall thanks to the ChuckyROM tweaks. If you choose to run chucky isntead of android it's a nice breath of fresh air, much more responsive, faster, and logically laid out.
Couple of caveats:
1) Bluetooth phone use is a little wonky. For instance, sometimes when I'm streaming music to my car stereo and I receive a phone call, the mic shuts down and I cant place any more phone calls without rebooting, even though music streaming continues to function.
2) On occasion the touchscreen will lock up. All I have to do is hit the windows key to bring up a context menu and then close it, touchscreen starts responding again.
3) I've been running stable for 3 days, however the phone did reboot itself for no reason and get stuck once. I had to do a battery pull to boot back into chuckyrom/android.
All in all it's been a dream though and well worth the experience. Windows 6.5 is so utterly broken as a phone OS words cannot describe. I feel like I've been using Windows 3.1 on my PC compared to this. The few glitches in the Android ports are entirely worth the hassle, and very minor. And to think, it's only going to get better!
Gday all im a bit lost in the android forums so im just going to do a noob thing and ask for some assistance, thanks.
I just installed the "[30 DEC][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM" rom over top of my last rom from WINMO, which was the Energy jan 6 rom.
I also installed the latest Radio "Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14" and HSPL3 along with "MAGLDR112" everything went sweet upon install, so i have no real questions regarding that but im wondering how i can boot back into WINMO if its possible?
If i reboot the phone it just auto loads into Android.
Also i would like to know what the best Android rom is for reliability and secondly how would i update the roms as new version are released?
I think thats about it for now, the rom in currently using feels smooth and great the apps work fine but it feels a little locked down compared to the WINMO but it hasnt crashed on me in the past day which WINMO would have by now, lol.
To flash back winmo, simply go into bootloader/tri color screen. This is done by holding vol down, then powering up.
I'm not going to answer which is the "best" android rom, as that has been asked many times, where there are many answers for, so, search it up.
Updating differs. If it uses daf.exe/install.exe, it's that same as how you flashed android for the first time, however sometimes you can't retain your settings. Clockwork mod flashing however, is unbeknown to me, haven't tried it yet, sorry.
Thanks for that, so what would i need to do to backup my settings and info on the Android just incase i reinstall it just say?
Also if i back to the bootloader would that mean ill have to reinstall a winmo rom?
Then if so would it only boot into WINMO and not android?
Secondly how would i be able to reboot into android again?
I guess im asking is there a way to dual boot and whats the best way about doing it?

r u being jackass?u have to flash stock wm rom first.ok then u can flash any custom rom.
ok use titenium backup to backup ur android settings abd appp..
ok and after winmo if u want dual boot u have to install sd android build to ur sd card
Why would i want to be a jackass?
Yeah i come on here to troll these forums to post noob questions for ****s and giggles, are you such a person who angers over someone who clearly doesnt know what he is doing and yet you think im being a jackass (god i hate that word, lol never used down here though).
I hope i clearly posted im the OP on how and what i installed but now im lost, i have android working fine but i dont know how to back any data up just incase i do an update or even flash back to stock rom and maybe come back to android later and hope to reuse the backed up data from the android rom.
It took me about a year to get used to WINMO and learning how to install a custom rom on it but now i thought i give android a go and i managed to follow the steps without any issues (yes there were a few more steps i needed to do than i did need to do for a custom rom for WINMO) but now that i have it running i just want to know what to do to get WINMO back on and preferably getting WINMO and android working side by side.
I know how to flash custom roms in WINMO but im just wondering if there was a way for me to be able to boot back into winmo while i have android installed, all i want is to be pointed into the right direction or shown a link to a walkthrough or just given a point form reply as to the process on what and what not ill be able to keep and the best way in doing so.
So from your reply i gather ill need to install android to my SDcard and not the phone memory in order to run WINMO and Android together am i correct?
If so then because i use the ENERGY ROMS i can boot to android from within the ENERGY ROM, am i correct? i think NRG did something with android in his roms.
I am really sorry if i have upset anyone (above) but i am really lost with this, yes i pretty much understood custom roms in WINMO but with this i just did it spontaneously VERY VERY late last night and i wasnt thinking straight i just gave it a shot, so i put myself in the deep end and now im very confused with getting it back to normal as such thats all.
Worst case would i just be able to reformat the SD and then boot to 4 colour screen and just do my custom WINMO install as per usual or would i have to install the stock rom back then install the custom rom?
First of all, ignore the "jackass" above. That was just plain rude and he made himself look like a total idiot.
Secondly, if you want to backup your current Android setup, get Titanium Backup from the market. There's a batch job (click menu, batch jobs) that backs up all your apps & data and system settings. It backs it up to your SD card though, so be aware of that if you're thinking of formatting it for any reason.
Next, get the WM6.5 ROM that you want to flash (doesn't have to be a stock one). Enter the bootloader (tri-colour screen) and flash your WM ROM as normal.
Finally, when you flash a ROM onto your phone, that becomes the only OS on there. You can't switch between Android NAND and WM without flashing. You can, however, run Android from your SD card. There's a forum dedicated to that here...
HD2 Android SD Development
There's lots of info in there on how to do it, but it's basically unzip a file, copy the contents to your SD card, run 2 apps. You'll probably want to go down the route of a bootloader (not really) that runs in Windows. It lets you select Windows or Android when you reboot. They too can be found in that same forum.
That's the only way you can switch between Windows and Android on a regular basis, without flashing a new ROM.
Hope this helps
Thank you very much it has cleared allot up for me, now i know that because i flashed android on the phone its the only OS i can use, i didnt know that TBH.
So yes thanks again and ill do it the SD way and try my luck with that.
One more small thing, how do i go with updating the current android rom im using (if it were to be updated), does it work in a similar process as WINMO custom roms and their updates?
Again i much appreciate the reply, it has helped already.

Generally, you flash an updated ROM the same way you flash the original ROM. There are backup options like Titanium Backup or ClockWork Mod (if the ROM supports it), so you can get everything back up and running again.
I'm willing to accept advice, and criticism so be gentle. So I got put the froyo build on my htc hd2 and everything ran smoothly until I tried to make a call. Their was a robotic voice instead of a regular one(I know this is a common problem).
I've read many guides on installing the froyo build but I'm not very good with this stuff and I rather have some explain to me step by step what to upload to fix it and how to run it on my Leo.
My current specs(while using WinMo):
RAM size:576 MB
Flash Size:1024 MB
Data Bus:32 Bits
ROM Version:2.13.531.1(90963)WWE
Radio Version:2.10.50.26
If needed I can post more specs, but yeah I just need direction in fixing the robotic voice. Please and thank you!
So you're using an sd build then? Try rebooting the build several times. SD builds need to be rebooted several times for them to stabilize.
If it is a NAND build, then each one should have specific instructions on how to fix the robotic voice, eg darkstone's super ram has specific instructions on how to fix robotic voice in his build.
Sometimes changing the radio fixes it, but that has never worked for me, i just kept on restarting until it was gone.
Some reports of WM roms being the case too. Sadly i can't remember which WM rom builds are recommended to fix, either way, chucky droid, or those roms built for android should help.
I'm using darkstones build, where are the instructions on how to fix it? Hmm would restarted it work with DS build? And also the phone in general is glitchy/laggy as the buttons react slowly. My last question is about a dual uploader because everytime i reboot it changes back to Windows.
I would recommend changing ROM and radio. If you do a little searching, mskip put out a great beginners guide.

I meant if it was a NAND build, meaning if the build was something you installed to phone memory, and not your sd card, he has specific instuctions on how to fix it in his thread.
For sd build, as said, changing radio, winmo rom, or rebooting can fix it.
You mean a dual booter? Just search it up here, it's not hard to find a dual booter and there is plenty. And yes, after you restart, the phone goes back to winmo, it's supposed to be like that.
I'm in need of some expert advice. I would really like to run Android on my HD2 and have read a ton of threads on here on how to do run it. Problem is there seems to be several different options, ie. Nand, SD and so on. The more I read the more its difficult to know which option to choose. I new to this and do not want to break my phone. Would you advise trying this myself or sticking with what I have. Here is what I am currently running.
OS: 2.5.21913
Manila: 2.5.20181424.0
ROM: 3.14.531.1
Radio: 2.15.50.14
This will void your warranty, but dont worry, you can flash it back to "normal"
let me spare you some trouble and time then!
If you want to run both, i would advise you to use SD card method, and your windows os will be untouched.
I personally grew to hate WinMo and never went back since the early days of HD2 Android when only SD method was available.
This phone should have never come out without Android on it! Big fail! but it is an awesome machine still and thanks to the great people here at XDA, its a whole new level of phone with Android!
Head to the nand section (if you only want android) and download Typhoons CM7 build.
The instructions are pretty clear, and everything you need (including instructions ) is there.
Is the fastest and more stable build i have used and believe me as i am a flash addict (rom flashing of course). All my apps work and there are almost daily updates and treats from the Cyanogen mod team.
Cyanogen, always one step ahead. Making the smartphones even smarter...
PS: REMEMBER to ALWAYS backup before trying something new!
Well if you're absolutely sure of what is to be done and you don't care for your warranty as much, then flash away a NAND android build. Here is a guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
If you're not sure if you have something already or not, then you might as well still flash what is required, it won't hurt, but it'll reassure you that you have the right settings.
If you really aren't sure how to do this, then just stay away. I would advise you not to ask someone to do it either since you may run into problems and then you'll know not what to do.
As said however, a sd build is painless, it won't even void your warranty so if you wan to be safe, use that.
Thanks for the help. From what I've read doing and SD is safer but it seems to not be stable to run and freezes a lot. Is this your experience with it as well?
Personally, I find there to be no difference between the two. Especially when it's a stock/cyanogen mod build. In sense builds I would say I found a difference such that NAND builds were faster, but I can't be too sure on whether I was swayed by my excitement of a NAND build at that time or sense builds were just slow already difference is so hard to tell.

Its been a while since i used SD, but something i have always seen improved on NAND, was the wake up speed from standby. On SD, there was almost 2 secs before screen came on... maybe this is resolved nowadays! not sure!
Ok, you can for sure use the SD version - but my personal meaning is, that nowadays everybody uses the NAND versions cause of performance reasons. I changed to that and i would never go back Stable, fast etc ... sometimes a bit tricky whe you install a rom the first time, but normally, like in the CoreDroid releases there is a good manual avaible - keep close to that, do not change something without experience and it will work
There is nothing special about installing nand rom.
What you need is hspl and radio (you've got the right) first, then magldr 1.13 (bootloader), clockwork recovery console (clockwork mod to flash, reformat your sd and so on), the rom specific recovery layout (space for your rom) and the .zip file of that rom you want to flash. And ofc for the most of nand roms a sd ext 3 partition for your apps or system data. (Can be done with cwm all over the phone).
For warranty just restore all things done by customizing your hd2. No worries about that. You just need to restore the original spl and stock winmob rom
Nand is the best for a stable system.

+1 for nand, also tends to have better battery life. Go with clk not magldr as it gives you a fully native android.
Thanks for the info.. This is definitely something I want on my phone as I truly am bored with a very much dislike Windows. I am good at following directions but I have never done this before so I guess for those of you who have my question is would you recommend me trying this or is it easy for me to break my phone therefore I should just leave it as is and deal with Windows for another year.
NAND is better for battery life, but American android cyanogen build (in my sig) is fast, smooth and trouble free. I would suggest you try a SD build before moving onto NAND to sample. SD installation is as simple as download to computer, extract, copy and paste Android folder onto SD card.
The short answer to your question is: f*Co yeah!
Its simple really, if your good at following instructions then you have a 00.01% chance of breaking your device, therefore why not.
Now since you took the effort of registering here, which is all about tweaking, moding( you name it, there is a mod for that too), it would be a shame that you'll go back to using some thing that you don't like (winmo) for another year, just because you don't have the guts?

you dont have to deal with windows contact me i can help youi further ...
EDIT:: i am really really experienced you can see my sig too
you can use an sd rom for start. because it doesn't need hspl etc. i can recommend americandroid.it has no lags.give it a try,very easy.

Seems that is the favorite can you provide me with the link to find the download for it?
Yes. Just click on the red American Android link in my sig below.
If you're going to invest the effort I'd just go nand, you can always reflash windows. I'd go with typhoon or hyperdroid, both solid cyanogen based roms. Otherwise you'll just waste time setting up SD install only to have to redo it. My 2c
transition in steps
+1 for going with American Android SD version of Gingerbread.
I first tried a RAM version and was impressed, but AmericanAndroid is as smooth and stable as you can get with an SD build.
Love it and my phone is amazing with it!
Instructions are clear in the first post and there is really no chance of bricking your phone.
Live with it for a while and if you then feel like you want more...then try a NAND build.
Good luck...you won't regret it!!!

I am kind of new at this, but here's my two cents.
If you know you don't like the Windows OS, you may as well commit to a NAND ROM. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I got the impression, the SD ROMs were hard to reboot. Don't you have to boot into Windows and run a file to boot the Android? Maybe I just didn't read all of the boot loader options.
Another thing I learned is that you probably want to try a ROM without Sense to start with. My first approach was to go for the slickest ROM since I had a nice new slick phone. Looking back, I should have gotten something stable working to see Android work, and then, I could have tried the Sense 3.0 ROM. Just a thought.
Another frustration I had was finding a full set of directions. I am like you in that I can follow directions, but I had trouble with all the different directions. Some ROMs need to flash a partition. Some are SD-based and you follow a totally different set of instructions. It sounds like you have already done enough reading to get past this point, but you might consider the completeness of the instructions that come with the ROM when you select the ROM you want to use.
I hope those thoughts help.
Hey guys
quick question does anyone have a desend an good overview how i can put android on my hd2 instead of wm6.5 dont want to use that anymore...
i just want a good way to install any android version on my phone
I can no longer get android to run on my HD2. Here are the details to my problem. Please I really need help, will make it well worth the while of anyone that can sort this problem out for me.
First off, I had been running android on my device for about a month. Then it started just going off and freezing at the android boot logo. Nothing I did would work unless I reinstall the rom.
Then that just stopped working and even after reinstalling a rom (nand) it would never get past the android boot logo after the go go go screen. It would just stay there then restart and the restart loop continues.
I have tried
- task 29
- flashing an official stock rom
- trying different radios even though the one in my sig worked with android just fine
- reflashing HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR and recovery
- formatting my SD cards (over and over again)
- trying different roms....etc
Nothing works. And I have lost count of how many times I have gone through all this.
Please take note that I did have android running on my EU HD2 with the HSPL, radio and rom in my sig on this very phone so I at least know what I am doing.
I just dont get this issue, cause windows mobile runs just fine on my device every single time. My cards read fine too. And even when trying to run an SD rom build, after haret starts up it cuts to the HTC logo and just hangs there too. And I am assuming that if it was my battery or my battery pins it would at least affect the phone generally and not only when trying to boot android.
Please, I really need help as this phone is practically useless to me now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried running a CLK build or just MAGLDR or SD builds?
As far as i know (sorry if this is nonsense ) the HD2 runs natively on ppp not on rmnet, magldr (and sd?) pushes something in the radio so that rmnet can be used, maybe something in that direction went wrong with your phone?

Well I have only been trying MAGLDR and SD roms but never CLK. Guess I can give that a shot. But assuming something weird is going on with my radio, shouldn't it have fixed itself considering the amount of radios I have used and the amount of task 29s I have done?
Thanks for the suggestion though, will give that a go today.

Well before i get flamed by those who know better, i would ask you to look for threads covering this topic, i.e. the difference between ppp and rmnet and which one is used with which one etc.
I have read in another forum that the hd2 runs natively with ppp, but magldr pushes something "in" the radio rom while booting, so the radio looks like a desire, so the android builds can run on rmnet...
Or something like that, what i have gathered from this is, that there is a difference and since it sounded like you were running out of options, i thought i´d propose installing a clk build

Hi,
Sometimes boot loops occur when the battery pins are out of shape.
Make sure all your battery pins are aligned and see if that helps.

Ok, i have a total of 3 SD cards. One 16GB, one 4GB and the last one 2GB. I have used both gParted and partition wizard. Did full 30 mins (approx) wipes on the cards and had them formatted to fat32. For the 16GB card I try that with the ext3/4 partions. Tried using both 4kB and 32KB cluster sizes.
And again, I had actually got android running on my phone before. And even tried different roms at that time so I have some idea what I am doing. I don't have any issues reading my cards either from a card reader or through the phone.

Yeah read about that, I have tried straightening my pins and all that but nothing changes. And I would think that if the pins are the issue then I would at least hav some issues running windows mobile 6.5 too. I have never had such issues running WM ever. Android on the other hand just refuses to run.

Ok, i have a total of 3 SD cards. One 16GB, one 4GB and the last one 2GB. I have used both gParted and partition wizard. Did full 30 mins (approx) wipes on the cards and had them formatted to fat32. For the 16GB card I try that with the ext3/4 partions. Tried using both 4kB and 32KB cluster sizes.
And again, I had actually got android running on my phone before. And even tried different roms at that time so I have some idea what I am doing. I don't have any issues reading my cards either from a card reader or through the phone.

Didn´t mean to let it sound like you don´t know what you´re doing, just trying to narrow it down and the sd cards can be the culprit for so many bugs, so it was worth a shot

Just did all that (again). And exactly in that order. As always, it installs just fine but it always hangs on the android logo right after the go go go screen for about 20-30 secs then it restarts. Over and over again.

Especially the NAND partition used in flash.cfg would be interesting, maybe there´s something wrong with that, that would be consistent with the failure to boot, wouldn´t it?
Other than that, i have to admit, slowly but surely this leaves my area "of expertise"
I sure hope you get your phone running again! I´ll keep my fingers crossed!

I am installing HyperDroidGBX-v12[GRI54-2.3.3][a2sd+][TytR8.3] and using the required 150mb partition size. I had got this very rom and RAFDROID rom (though with a 400mb partition) to work on my phone previously.
I also got the a couple of SD based roms to work on my device before nand roms became available now even those dont work too.
Just tried CLK for the first time and flashed the CLK version of the aforementioned rom. Been on the white HTC screen for about 10mins now.

Trust me, no offense taken what so ever .
I am aware that SD card errors could be the issue, but all three SD cards? even stranger since I have never used 2 of those 3 for any android install.
What really puzzles me though is that regardless of whatever issues i seem to be having... windows mobile runs just fine every single time. My only guess now may be that teher may be something wrong on the hardware side with how my SD card and phone syncs so something always goes wrong during the install. If that is the case the only possible solution would be if it was some how possible to install a rom directly from my PC without using an Sd card at all.

Hi,
That would mean making a DAF.exe file and install it the old fashioned way.
Sadly,beyond my level of expertise.
Good luck.

Sorry but i am at a loss for any further possible advice for you. I would propose the build i am using for you to install.
It installs with the according daf.exe and after that you can install the zip file via cwm. I never flashed another android build myself, what with all this nand partitioning (i have heard of it, but never had to set it up myself), so i don´t really know how the nand partitioning is done without daf.exe and the according flash.cfg file.

Thanks, will try. I have given up though. been working on this thing for too long. Guess its time to buy the galaxy s2. I really loved this phone. And windows mobile just doesn't cut it.

Hi,
Just before you bin it,how have you been formatting the sd card?
Have a look at this:
"You should also properly format your sdcard with Panasonic SDFormatter (Full+Overwrite+size adjust). Then in recovery>advanced>sd partition (1GB+0MB swap) If you have a EU HD2 and need the extra data storage/rom requires it. "
Worth a shot.
Dont give up!
Might be a long shot, But have you tried turning off your antivirus software during the installation? Ive seen a few of your posts about and i hope you get it to work again. Bet your sick of the sight of task29 lol

yeah I have tried that too. Still leaves me hanging at the android logo right after the go go go screen. Truth is that I have come to the conclusion that nothing i am doing will actually work. Cause all these things mentioned now I have already done and didn't even need to do half of them at one point when i was actually running android on my phone.
The fact that I cant even run the SD card builds of android just goes to show that something must be very wrong with my phone now. It could be battery related or something but that doesn't make sense either cause WinMO 6.5 roms work fine every singel time.
I just dont get it really.

Lol.... you have no idea lol
Its sad no doubt, but I am actually happy for the amount of help offered by a lot of ppl here in the xda community.
So at least I am taking it all in good spirits. Oh, I have probably tried that at one point too....
The only thing I can think of now is to flash my HSPL back to spl 1.66 and revert back to factory setting, then try and reflsah the 2.08 HSPL. Though I dont know what difference taht will make considering how many times i have reflsahed the very same 2.08 HSPL so at least i know I have a clean fresh one on my phone now lol.
