i had the perfect sd build for my hd2 that i deleted (like an idiot) and want back. im almost positive its mdeejay and it had the droid x background and startup sound. it said HTCHD2 in red on the unlock screen (as opposed to where the evo series revolution builds said HTCEVO)
does anyone know which version this is/ where i can download it?
Mdj not on xda anymore so you will be very lucky, all his threads were removed I'm gutted as I'm on his 2.6 cyan and there's no more updates coming
all of MDJs threads have been removed for lack of GPL compliance
theres many bettor updated roms here on XDA
maybe this one? http://www.jayceooi.com/2010/08/12/how-to-install-android-2-2-froyo-on-htc-hd2/
it's a rom by mdj. u can always try and use the great search engine google.
i definitely did Google it, i wouldn't come here and waste anyones time without doing that first. i found that blog that you linked but it doesnt say anything about the theme and the little nuances i described, so i didnt know. but i will try it out right now and let you guys know. its too bad hes not on here anymore, that build i had was perfect. it ran flawless, was super fast, and the aesthetic of it was perfect for the phone.
also, "better" is subjective. i don't know but every other ROM i have tried has been glitchy somehow sans 1 other one and the theme was plain. all i want is the os to tell me im using an HD2 not an evo or anything else like that. it doesn't need to be the droid x theme but that was pretty cool.
also if it helps, i tried froyo revolution v1.5 and it said [email protected] on the unlock screen but the [email protected] was green and in the one i was using it was red. and if you guys took all his stuff off of here do you know where i can go (like a different forum etc) that still has his builds?
try this rom so far it's awesome ,works great ,smooth and fast.
BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.3 RAM_V5 so far i didn't get any bugs and it looks awesome.
i tried the first one and it is not mdeejay. it worked but was buggy and not what i was looking for
i dont know how to install the second one, i looked at the directions but its really confusing. plus when i tried to install magldr it wont let me, it goes to bootloader then says error 262 update issue. it doesn't do anything to my phone, it boots back just fine. i have spl 3.03.hspl installed already too
edit: i read up on the gingerbread v5 build, and people are reporting bugs and bad battery life. i just want my simple froyo back. it was nice looking, fast, and functional. when/ why did mdeejay leave here? did you guys run him off or something?
ah, i found a search i did "android 2.2.1 build number 2.10.405.2 cl226611" i know thats the build number for it because i was searching for a nand for it when i still had it but i cant find anything with this build
magldr doesn't work with hspl spl 3 and 4,u need 2.08. and u run the magldr from ROMUpdateUtility.exe so it will work otherwise u get an error.
the first one works great for me maybe cause I flashed it with magldr i guess it works better like that then on sd.
another mdj room kinda new I will check that out later.
http://www.xpockets.net/android/mdjs-cyanogenmod-7-v-2-6-android-nand-rom/

i cant get HSPL 3 off the phone, i tried running HSPL4 to downgrade but it won't connect to the phone. its amazing i even got my stock rom back on here. i tried 15 times to connect it, once it got 1% then a bunch of nothings then 8%, more nothings, and it finally went. its so freakin touchy and idk why
i even ran task 29 to get everything off but 3.03.HSPL was still there
that's weird.. u tried to flash it with a stock winmo rom? u tried to manually enter tri-colour screen and then flash it?
yeah i flashed it with HSLP first, then i tried to do magldr to put nand version of android on but it failed and i thought i bricked it. then i fixed it by going into bootloader (tri color screen) and trying over and over and over and finally getting task 29 to flash it and then after many many tries i got the stock rom on. now im just trying to find an sd rom so i dont have to mess with that BS any more
You can always try a new one .. there are plenty out there ... may be better thn what u r lookin for
yeah ive been searching around, and have tried 6 others. i like the one im currently running but the overall aesthetic of it isnt up to par and a lot of times when the screen goes to sleep the phone wont let it wake up and i have to pull the battery, so i dont use it very much. im basically only using winmo 6.5
i dont want to depend on a buggy ROM, but it appears all of them are atleast a little buggy. hopefully i'll be getting an Inspire soon and won't have to worry about all this

To switch Android builds just copy your builds to your sd card and run CLRCAD and then Haret. All the build threads have step by step directions just in case. Good luck.

what about for the UK HTC HD2??
I have done the HSDL install, and then put radio version 2.10 on it.
was running Froyo ok, but telephone calls wasnt working (everything else was tho ) and the phone seemed to reboot itself into the standard stock HTC sense operating system.
am thinking maybe the radio was not the best for it? and I should change it, but not sure how. it says radio version still 2.10 at present
any help appreciated!
Nevermind, figured it out, running more stable with Radio 2.14, can make phone calls!

Hey folks!
Just want to say thanks to everyone who put up some of the great FAQs and guides on here.
I'm successfully running Android on my HTC HD2 (TMOUS) w/ 1024Flash.
However, I am in need of some guidance.
I'm using the HD2Froyo_v2.1 build.
I have also successfully installed HardSPL.
I made a test call, and the person on the other end sounded like a tiny robot.
I read about this in the forum guides, but I'm not sure what exactly I should do.
Can anyone offer some advice/guidance?
I believe I need to install a custom Radio, but I'm not sure which one.
Also, are there any other issues I should expect or anticipate?
Will I be okay to continue using the Android OS from now on if I like it?
Thanks!!

I am running the same combi and i am really happy!
I have tried like so many combinations....BTW, do you know how to show
the correct battery level on the vbn reloaded winmo rom ? Due to its low
current draw, i would like to run it as main OS

Okay, so if I install that first one you gave me, I shouldn't have any call issues?
The build of Android I'm using seems to be running great, except for calls.
So here are my questions:
I need to install this VBNROM, correct?
Does this affect the Radio? My Android was running fine, but wasn't processing calls.
Will this VBNROM take care of this issue?
Also, how do I get back to Android after a reboot.
I'm currently back in Windows Mobile, but don't know how to get back to my Android install.
Thanks for the help, guys!

I'll try that first.
Any recommendations?
Try changing your radio. Search this as I am not allowed to post threads:
HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread
Im pretty sure that you shouldn't flash to a .51 radio (grab the .50 ones) as they brick your TMOUS HD2.
If that doesn't fix the issue then you have to change your WM rom. Try Chucky's rom I found that got rid of the robot voice for me.
Post up if you have any questions.

Thanks.
If you can email me the link, my email is kms311 AT hotmail DOT com
I want to make sure I have the right thread.
try the 2.12.50.02_2, I am using that and it works perfect.
Also try putting music on your phone if you notice that it is playing faster than normal then change your WM rom.
Also, can someone tell me how to get back into Android?
I'm back in WinMobile, and I ran haret again. But now it just reboots to WinMobile each time.
Once android is loaded you won't have to do anything except get some cool new apps like angry birds (which is free and AWESOME). Also to boot up android, open the CRLCAD.exe then Haret.exe then it should boot. Not sure if i spelt it correctly but i hope you understand what i meant.
As I said before changing you WM rom may also help the robot voice. I would recommend Chucky's rom as it has a bootloader, so when WM loads there will be a black and white robot you press and it will boot up Android, better then opening both exe files.
To flash a radio go to the forum i sent you, then go to the installing section
to install as said you need HardSPL, and then download the radio rar file, and also download the CustomRUU file. After they have finished downloading Rename and extract the radio rar file make sure the name says: RUU_Signed.nbh and then open up the CustomRUU.exe and it should load it on to your HD2.
Here is what they wrote:
Installing:
For installing a RADIO ROM you need HardSPL installed to your device.
Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU: it won't hardreset your device.
Okay. I think I follow.
So I'll load a Custom ROM, like Chucky's, using CustomRUU and renaming the file.
Then I'll load the 2.12.50.02.2 Radio, and I should be set.
Have I got that right?
Try flashing a radio first and see if it works. If you still have robo-voice which i doubt then you can load Chucky's Rom.

Well, I installed the new Radio, but I'm still getting the robotic, poor audio quality on calls.
I can't understand what the person on the other end is saying.

i would take the suggestion from the first reply by blacksxe, which is the VBNRom.. and install the radio recommendation version that was posted at the VBNRom page as well (2.15)... also, expect that you will boot to winmo each and everytime that you restart your phone.. as of now, there is no nand support that's available for users.. only the devs has it and it's still under development.. so just use the EBL program that's included on the VBNRom and set it to autoboot (6 seconds or even 10).. that way you won't have to run haret manually each and everytime you restart..
All,
Finally decided to root yesterday and have been monitoring the ROM's in the development section. I'm torn between the CyanogenMod and Iced Glacier. From what I'm reading the CyanogenMod is still a RC and not official yet and Iced Glacier is still using the sense interface.
I use this phone for work ie Touchdown and need something super stable that won't crash on me every other day. What ROM would you recommend that I try? Some keys for me is stability, dialer is functional(hated the MT4G dialer), contacts, camera and Touchdown definitely will need to work.
Thanks for any info.
I'm using iced and no issues. Everything works. Jus flash gorrillas latest kernel with it. I believe its 1.02? V.5(the one that came with the iced rom) froze on me alot when I oc past 1.4
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The best answer is to make a nandroid backup, and try all of the roms. They're all pretty damn stable at this point, its just a matter of personal opinion. CM6 is still an RC, but a lot of people, myself included, are using it ads their daily driver with no issues at all.
I have been using the CM RC2 as of now .. i didnt care much for the other ones due to it was exactly like what i had already .. with the apps removed and so fourth .. seemed like a lot of setup for nothing .. and with cyanogen rom it is not the same stock ROM .. different. This has his settings, which i like. I think this may be the version where people are saying video playback has been an issue and i have had absolutely no issues with the video playback thru stock player or youtube at all .. no forces closes and everything seems to be working fine with this one so far.
But ya the best advice has already been said .. try them all ... thats what people do when they arent sure about something .. they try it .. obviously what i did . or i couldnt tell you about it.
Thanks all! I think I'm going to be trying the CM ROM. Thanks for all the advice.

i dont know what i'm doing, but i do believe i rooted my phone, downloaded titanium back, rom manager, visionary super user, setcpu, and super user. but cant seem to get my phone in recovery screen mode. please help
i recently purchased HTC HD2 phone that comes with windows mobile 6.5.
I don't have a problem with it but some friends praised Android. I tried froyo on my sd card but it didn't work very well. it crashed and didn't load properly. Then someone told me that i've to remove windows mobile and install android fresh.
Can anyone suggest if android runs well on htc hd2? will i be able to use camera, phone, wifi, data, gps with android? But primarily it should work like any phone out there, after all its a phone.
Go to the HD2 Android Dev forum. There should be AmeriCanDroid.
That's a good stable build that I'm using.
SD base.
As far as I remember, AmeriCanDroid is for US T-Mobile users. If you use european version then I would suggest trying ROMs by Rafdroid (it's of course only my suggestion, but his ROMs are most stable for me.)
go to android NAND development and search for the stickies. there is a link which show a lot of android builds.
you can choose by yourself what kind of android you prefer (sense builds, stock froyo, gingerbread etc.) just give it a try
I´m personally on typhoons cm7 which runs really great.
but do i have to remove my existing windows mobile on my htc hd2?
will i be able to sync all my contacts, text messages with android?
Android works with google, so you can put the contacts in your gmail and it will sync with android on the telephone. Text messages wont work as far as I know
Just like the other people say, take a look in the android nand section and read the sticky's, they tell you everything you need to know.
I'm on the HyperDroid and works great
read thist thread, it will help you to decide.
ps: mods, this thread should be stick. its very helpfull to noods and more advanced users

Actually, they post US and ex-US builds each time a new build is released. Many ex-US users post there, but far too many US and ex-US ask the same tired questions over and over. Read the FAQ, and enjoy a good build.
id go for this thread HERE, which should help you get started.

After step 3 was done, which was to install MAGLDR 1.13 and it flashed (if thats the correct word) ROM to 2.00.000.0 by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
after that i pressed the power key and it doesn't go into bootloader or the magldr menu doesn't come up. i did what it said in that video as well. but no luck.
now my hd2 is stuck on white background with pink "Stick Together" logo.
Can anyone please help?

i suggest hyperdroidgbx cm7 v1.0.3 runs great super fast and stable as all hell for me...only froze on me once so far and it was while i was streaming videos using flash...
great build
The most important thing is to get proficient at flashing your hd2 so that you can try out a few builds. Once you get hspl and magloader on your phone, I recommend coredroid simply because the instructions for getting clockwork recovery on your phone and installing coredroid are laid out fairly clear in a file with the download. From there you can try flashing other builds if coredroid doesn't suit your needs. I'm currently using hyperdroid and it's great for me.
Hello,
I got an HTC Nexus One with Android version 2.4 , the OS is having lots of issues such as Camera doesn't work and everything is very slow.
Now I was trying to ROOT the cell phone with Universal Androot and it supports only v2.2 , I was wondering if anyone can recommend me a way I can get my HTC Nexus One back to v2.2 or some alternative which works on Android v2.4.
Thank you very much for helpers!

Dude... the first thing you should do is a software update. the 2.37 is good enough for almost everyone, unless you need "more"

There are many new custom ROMs available for NexusOne.
I hope your device is rooted and as you said you are new to Android, I would suggest you to have gingerbread version of MIUI i.e 2.3. Its very statble and organised.:good:
Google it.. you'll get all stuff..where to download and how to flash it to your device.
Thank you very much for all replies guys,
but seriously I did try reading from the wiki what I could but it can never end... there are so many things to read it can take me weeks so a specific answer could be great.
I was trying to flash my cell phone a new ROM although all the ROMs I tried just never worked.
I tried MIUI v4.x and it just stuck on loading screen.
I tried MIUI v2.x And it keeps loading the OS and then do a restart over and over again , like a loop.
I tried some others and nothing really worked.
Currently I'm using the restore I had before I started to try Flashing ROMs and everytime I have my phone started it shows me some lock sign and then when it loads all my other applications get opened too and it's killing the battery, even when I try killing processes they get opened again after a few minutes, not to mention my camera doesn't work too. I am really lost and quite disappointed.
like someone said... android 2.4 doesn't exist. and as far as i know, camera works in ics and jb
try downloading a passimg.zip, then put it in the root of your sd card. then boot to hboot by pressing trackball and power button, then sellect bootloader, then follow the instructions. hope this helps
