[Q] Deaf dude need help!

I need some help. I wasn't sure what do I need to install the android on hd2? I know Froyo 2.2 is the latest update for Android. But do I need to put some special rom in it or what? HSPL? SPL? I don't even know what are these. Can anyone just make a short simple instruction how to install android on hd2?

instant gratification is why everything sucks. work for your knowledge read a little bit and you'll see that other people have put hundreds of articles just for us. search and you'll find them even quicker. i can't tell you how many times they're posted and re posted everywhere.
if you're going to be on a forum at least learn how to use it this is just a waste.

Try Your luck there:

But be sure You have the knowledge and ability to setup Your HD2 newly if You crash it. It took me an entire night stuck with the Radio-flash which corrupted my HD2 and I had to go back to stock-ROM without Froyo running.

[Q] Android on the HTC HD2 (HELP!!)

Hi,
I hope someone can help im trying to load Android on to my HD2 and ive not had much success so far.
Ive got through forums after forums and im now at a dead end!!
I have a typical HD2 - on the Virgin Network now ive been looking through youtube vids and forums and all there mobiles have been T-Mobile models (i dont no if this makes a difference) althought i no some one with a Virgin Mobile one and theyve done it they gave me a link to use that they used but its not longer active.
Ive tried serveral different Android Roms but nothing works i start the intall proces and i either end with this -
HaRET boot
Sutting down hardware
Turning off NMV...
In preloader
PSR=600000df
Tags reloadedto 0x11b00100 (size 0x00000f00)
Kernel rel0cated to 0x11B0B000 (SIZE 0X0026F2EE)
Initrd rel0cated to 0x12200000 (size 0x001cfde1)
Jumping to Kernel (custom) ...
AND FREEZES
or i get this -
The boot loader starts and seems to be loading and intalling and then for no reason just stops mid flow and fades out.
it this untill i take the battery out and put it back in again and it loads windows 6.5 fine.
this is doing my nut in and i would like to get rid of Windows 6.5 and have android put on to here it so much better!
I hope you can help thank you inadvance!

Firstly this section is for development not Q&A.
Second, What you are doing isnt going to replace your winmo 6.5, it will still be there. The process you are trying to do is simply to make your phone reboot into android kernel and boot from sd card from and android "build" NOT a "rom", You are not installing anything.
If you want to replace winmo you need to install MAGLDR and then flash one of the NAND roms to your phone.
I noticed you didnt mention anywhere about your spl or radio versions which makes me think you haven't even bothered to go and read any guides before creating this topic in wrong place.
Go and do some reading of the guides which you will find in the stickies or by searching forum.

Cool
Thank you i think! new to the website trying to find a little help and all i get is attitude wicked!!!
Sorry i posted in the wrong place but rather than giving me attitude you could point me in the direct of a threat that would help me!!

You haven't even bothered to do the most logical thing in a forum, which is to read the stickies where 9/10 the info you need is located.
So please give me a reason why I should wipe your arse?
I dont mind helping people alsong as they also try and help themselves, but people who come here and go directly into posting a topic is just pure lazyness. If you want help and support at least have the manners to attempt to read a little first.

Could somebody adopt a greenhorn and help me with my first Android install?

I know a lot of people will be coming into this thread to berate me, telling me to read the stickies and search the forum.
I have read the stickies and searched the forum, but the tutorials all assume a level of knowledge I don't have. Please don't get angry at me.
I've recently purchased a European-spec HTC HD2 in order to run Rafpigna's latest DHD build, Rafdroid HD 4.0.1. I've read multiple guides and tutorials and I still don't quite grasp the fundamentals of what I'm supposed to be doing - I've never rooted an Android device before or flashed a custom ROM, and I'm worried I'll mess something up.
With that said, I was wondering if anybody who was experienced at flashing Android to the HD2 could help me out doing it my first time? Specifically, I don't understand the SD Card partitioning process and what ClockworkMod is or how to use it. I haven't actually found explanations for these things, as everything I've read assumes you already know what they are.
Could somebody help a brother out?
Again, if you feel the need to have a go at me for not being able to do this myself, consider this - not everybody on XDA is as tech savvy as you. I come here to talk mobile devices and see what developers are up to, but I am not myself very experienced under the hood.
Thanks for reading,

Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11097380
It's really easy and very detailed, step by step guide of all steps you need to do in order to get Android running on your HD2
Rafdroid in his topic also details all steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528
As to the sd partitioning part - look at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10654666#post10654666
ROMs that are based on Desire HD ones are just too big to fit in HD2 International - so they use ext partition on SD card to keep data (after partitioning you'll have two partitions on SD card - first one in FAT32 format and second one in ext3 format).
I understand that not everyone is techsavy, but I really don't think how gunjahman's guide could be any simpler. I can try - according to my knowledge - help you, but please, read two threads I've mentioned above, try to follow them and ask questions, when you have more detailed problems.

No no, that's been really helpful, thanks. I now understand the SD partitioning, which is one of the things I was really struggling with.
One of the things I don't get after reading those tutorials (which I didn't find on my first search, thankyou for those) is what radio I need to flash? I can't find a mention of it in Rafpigna's thread and I'm not sure what to do in regards to that.
Same goes with kernel. I can't figure out at what stage or how I'm supposed to apply to kernel whilst installing the ROM.
Thanks for your reply though, muchos gracias

@ Radio - In first thread:
"B: Install Custom Radio ROM
Prerequisites
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
In order to flash custom radio ROM, you need to have HSPL3 installed on your HTC HD2. Follow this guide ~ How to Install HSPL3 on HTC HD2? (Video) to install. By the way, I used Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 on my guide. You can use it or any other HTC HD2 Radio ROM version."
As to the kernel, then I do not think, that you should change the one provided with ROM - at least, if there's no specific need for it. Just flash the ROM - http://hotfile.com/dl/109228969/a4b154a/full_rafdroid_hd_ext_4r0f1.zip.html
I admit that you CAN apply another kernel, but you DO NOT HAVE TO do it in order to have fully functional Android on your HD2

Thanks mate, that's all I needed to know. Appreciate your help, sorry for being a simpleton. Cheers!

Glad, I could help

I'm glad you did without saying "you're an idiot, google is your friend"

[Q] I'm just tooo noob for all this...just guide me around

I just purchased an unlocked TMobile HTC Leo, which I'm gonna use with att. I've heard all the capabilities this phone still delivers and being honest, I'm really excited about upgrading it to an Android OS from day one. On the same note, I have to say that I'm overwhelmed by the variations of ROMs, ways to install them,etc, etc, etc...I'm not a techie by any means, the only related experience I have is changing the OS on my BB bold2. believe when I say I had being checking threats after threats for hours in order to not deal with a dumb troll, but all I could find was old guides (a year old or so). so if somebody can pitch me a couple of useful noobie tips, send me some links of updated guides, any warnings or has a useful comment, be my guest.

This is all you need, i think....

i agree that whats listed above should be rather helpful but you should also read this thread found here. its Flashing Your First HD2 NAND Android Rom [For Newbs] & will guide you through the steps in order to get Android onto your device. this thread was written with the noob in mind so everything is written rather simple in a straight forward manner. the steps listed on that page will have you lose winmo and it will be replaced by Android. if you want a sd build then i would suggest one that has Android already built in like this one so you can get a feel for it before deciding whether or not to go to a nand build.
please before you flash any rom/radio/kernal/...people you have an idea of what your doing or atleast know what not to flash. if you have a 1024 leo flash 1024 leo roms if you have a 512 leo flash 512 leo roms​

Sorry, unrelated but I couldn't help pointing out this:

'Threats after threats'...

welcome. good reads above.
just wanted to let you know, too, that with the tmousa on att, you will NOT get 3g. just edge. that is a hardware issue. if you want 3g, you will need the telstra version of the hd2. but i reckon you know this, but thought i'd share just in case.
enjoy.

why not try some of the SD builds first? at least you don't risk bricking your device, and can enjoy android until you feel ready to flash NAND

thank you guys for the quick responses and inputs. its cool to know that you belong to a dedicate comunity such as xda; I'll check out my options and let you know my progress. thnx again

lol, threads AND threats as well!! there's some short temper ppl around...

You Can Contact Me On Skype At corbo987corbin or message me on here

1. Please search before posting
2. Please use decent grammar, one long sentence is actually rather difficult to read
You expect us to read your post yet you quite clearly haven't read anything at all before posting this question. If you had searched in any way (your question is essentially 'how do I flash NAND Android?' you would have found tonnes of threads asking the exact same thing and numerous guides. I've found this to be the best guide.

This post is wrong in so many ways:
1- Your title is not descriptive.
2- You didn't search before making your post.
3- Your grammar makes reading your post very hard, and you are using incorrect terms. (wtf is tand? sp?) .. I know you mean sd & nand, but you should care for your readers.
4- You want us, to contact you, on Skype, and guide you through the installation? haha, sure, we will .
^Fix these and I am sure you won't even need our help. (considering you've done #2)
