Help with Froyo 2.2 on HTC HD2 freezes

Hi everyone,
This is my first post in a long time.
Havent been on this board in ages.
I recently purchased a HTC HD2 and thought I figured out how to load Froyo 2.2 on to my HD2.
I load Froyo 2.2 on to HD2 and it works but after it i set it down and not touch it it will not come back on. I tried to reboot and and it loads fine from the sd card.
I followed the instructions here.
Here is the step by step guide on installing Android 2.2 Froyo on your HTC HD 2 easily:
1. The first step is to download this File, unzip and save the contents on your desktop [Or wherever your prefer].
2. Now connect your HTC HD2 with the computer and copy paste the dowloaded file to the root of SD card.
3. Once this is done, disconnect your phone and launch Windows Mobile File Manager.
4. Now in the File Manager, navigate to Android Folder and tap of “CLRCAD” followed by “Haret”.
5. Now wait for the procedure to finish. so not do anything silly at this time because the first boot will take some time so hang on in there.
6. There you go! Your HTC HD2 will reboot into Android. You can now make calls, email, connect to Wi-Fi or Edge and do everything else that you do with a phone.
You can navigate to this link if you are facing any difficulty in installing Android 2.2 Froyo on your HTC HD 2.
The phone is great with Froyo 2.2 but with win 6.5 its kind of ****ty.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for the great work guys. !!!!

I have the same problem. Trying to figure it out.

4.3, what exact build are you using? I'll throw it on my phone and see if I get the same issue.
Also, are you using a custom ROM or a stock one?

I havent touched the rom, wasnt aware that I had to do that.
Dont know how to do it either.
Now I have the problem of me hearing the people sounding like an alien.

4.3 - try load the custom rom first before running android.

thanks dmoney
4.3, the "robot voice" is a known issue, and seems to be cleared up by running a non-stock ROM as opposed to a stock one, and supposedly helps overcome other issues as well, but that one in particular. You can find advice on which custom ROM's are recommeded for using when you want to run android, in the HD2 android forum section. Instructions on how to flash to a custom ROM can be found in the "links to cabs, ROM's, how to's..." thread that's stickied at the top of this section.
I'm going to try that froyostone build now (been meaning to anyway)....4.3, let me know if you're trying a different one than that.

i used FroyoStone_sense.7z

gotcha, thank you. I'm loading the clean version as I write this, I'll check that out and then try the sense version. Sounds like the problem is independent of sense though.

Im using the same set-up that darkstone recomends.......
Rom: Miri WM6.5x V17.6
Radio: 2.10.50.26
Builds: Mattcnexus & FroyoStone_Sense
Multiboot, Desktop Android & Ubuntu Launcher - EBL2.1
Used to have the "Sleep of Death" issue also, stop using taskiller & usbmount. All good now. You definately need to flash the stock rom, try the one I recomended it's super stable. Good Luck !

HSPL is just a specific type of SPL. Make sure you read this guide, which tells you all about flashing on the HD2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621930
Then, once you have all that down, you can get the HSPL you need ("HSPL3") here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893

Thanks GOD!!!
I think I have done right.
I flashed it with the HSPL
Then downloaded Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.4.1 S23569 B2.14.nbh for tomoible htc HD2
unzipped it in to a desktop file with the custom.ruu file and Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.4.1 S23569 B2.14.nbh
Now i have to test it out and see if froyo 2.2 will work..

i was able to Flash my HTC HD2 with HSPL
And then load the Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.4.1 S23569 B2.14.nbh
I then tried to load the froyo 2.2 on the phone which loaded after a difficult time locating the sd file folder.
After I loaded it on I still have the trouble of the alien radio talking. Is there a way to fix the alien radio thing.
Also Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.4.1 S23569 B2.14.nbh seems to be using Edge instead of 3G. Is there anyway to change this? If I wanted edge I would have stuck with my Iphone.
The 3G and the big screen was my primary factor in switching to htc hd2.
This phone sucks with WM 6.5. But the screen size and Froyo 2.2 makes up for it. To bad HTC made a bad decision to load WM instead of android. What a loss
Any help from sirphunkee/God or any one that has knowledge in this would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Awww come on, WinMo isn't that bad. I actually like it.
I am using Aug 6 Energy Cookie rom, 2.10.50.26 radio and using Darkstone Froyo 2.1 clean version. I don't have the robo voice problem.

Oh yeah, if you are using a T-Mous hd2 on At&t, you won't get 3g service. T-Mo and At&t use different bands for 3g.

so there is no way to escape the robot voice without flashing a rom?

Flashing a rom seems to be the only solution right now. It's easy (and kind of fun) to flash a rom. Read through this a few times and follow the directions exactly and you'll have it flashed in no time.

which android for my htc hd2?

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.

I followed the steps provided at thread provided by gizmolisa2006.
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?

Did you flash HSPL first?

help... i don't really know what type HTC HD2 i m using.. i m confused by so many types in the market, leoxxxx...t-mobile, htc sense?

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.

[Q] difference betwwen NAND and SD card android development.

hey...
iam using t-mobile HD2 :
ROM version-2.13.531.1
radio-2.10.50.26
protocol ver-15.39.50.07U
and i want to install android on my phone. i have been reading quite a few threads everyday but the more i read i guess the more confuse i get.
some say that u should use HSPL.. some are against it... some say that we should flash android from SD card , some are again against it..
WHAT I NEED:-
1)i want to put android in my phone. preferably 2.2 froyo as i think that 2.3 mite be heavy for HD2.
2) i dont want dual OS. that is i just want android on my phone and not android and windows 2gethr.

NAND means is short for NAND. memory/ NAND chip. This is what is called the flash memory of the HD2. It is also where the Windows Mobile OS is. So if you flash a NAND Android ROM you will wipe Windows Mobile, also your HD2 will boot into Android when you turn your HD2 on. You have to have MAGLDR or cLK to do this though.

Installing to NAND is faster and more stable, since the SD card might not have the read/write speeds to supply the OS. What is more, running Android from SD is booting up WinMO first and Android second, which is obviously slower.
I have a DesireHD ROM on my HD2, I have tried gingerbread builds too but without Sense it sucks imo. Hardware is more than enough, SetCPU just rocks (overclocking).
There is a nice and comprehensive guide on how to install the stuff, first HardSPL, then flash a new radio, then install MAGLDR, then flash an Android build (preferably rooted, I have had problems with rooting since z4root does not work).

-Yes. It will wipe your Winmo completely
-Yes. If you flash NANDROID, then you will only have Android.
-Some NANDROID ROM works, some dont. It really depends on your handset conditions and the rom itself. You might experience that you cant flash certain Nandroid Rom while others can, vice versa. But dont worry, there are many roms you can try out and see it if it is suitable for your needs

Well your confusion confuses me, what has windows got to do with rom manager?
Windows is gone yes, You installed MAGLDR which wipes windows allowing you to put Android on the nand in its place.
It says HTC Desire because that is the build you have installed on your device.
If you are new to all this I would highly recommend taking the time to go read some guides etc and learn all the info you need is there waiting for you. There is also a HD2 Toolkit in the NAND forum in sticky topic.

I'm a fan of HTC Sense. Sorry for confusing you, I'm new to this whole flashing thing. I've looked many times trying to find any kind of rom to download with no luck.

Its based on the stock Desire build but is more stable and has more features.

Are you asking if you can run to roms at the sometime similar to how a SD build works or are you asking if you can put a different new nand Rom on your phone because you would like to try out other roms?
Also if you look under hd2-android-nand you will find a list of roms you can download to your SD card to flash.

if you take a look at this link http://android.hd2roms.com/ you will find all the ROMs listed for the htc hd2 posted here on XDA. it will show you some basic info about each ROM like if its a sd or nand build, as well as give you information on if it has sence or not. definitely worth taking a look at.

You´d have to store the RUU.exe file directly on your SD card, then extract it, and finally save the ROM image file as "leoimg.nbh". If this does work with any Windows Mobile compression/decompression software, I never tried.
Or, if you do have HSPL on your phone, maybe it will work with any custom ROM, directly stored onto your SD card.

Why on earth would he want to do that?? That is to flash Windows Mobile.
Hes asking about Android roms, Hes basically asking if he can download a CWM zip file via his phone and then flash that without need for PC.
@ OP
Yes you can do this but ONLY if your system partition that you currently have is compatible with teh rom you intend to flash. For example some roms need say 150MB partition, If you try and flash one that has more it wont work.
What you would o if you have compatible partition is..
Download CWM zip rom
Power off phone (do not reboot it can corrupt SD on HD2 Android)
Power on phone
Hold power until MAGLDR menu displays choices
Choose AD Recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Advanced>Wipe Dalvik Cache
Install zip from sdcard>Choose zip

Yes by far TheATHEiST instructions are the way 2 go. i might point out its worth keeping maybe the top 2 ROMs you like best on your SD if you have the space that is. this will allow you 2 go between ROMs on the fly.

Awesome!! That's the answer I've been looking for. Thanks so much!!!

If you take a look at this post cmylxgo gives a very easy to follow instructions on how to flash his roms. he also supplies all the software right in the thread so you dont have to jump around and look for files else all over since its all in one place including how to flash magldr v1.13 & updating Clockworkmod Recovery Partitions. there are other threads that break it down even farther if you arent able to get it working.
