Many many thanks in advance

You have to flash a radio with .50 in it, instead of .51.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787 for more instructions on doing this
After your radio is good, just download an Android SD build to your SD card, boot into WinMo, launch clrcad.exe and then haret.exe
Clrcad doesn't open any window, haret launches Android.

I do not know whether you have ever installed android on HD2 or not, but according to my understanding you are just starting and you are overwhelmed. Basically if you have HD2 with win6.5 OS then you should start by installing HSPL3, followed by radio(your radio seems to be very old. Flash new one 2.15.50.xx). Once you are done with these 2 steps, you can install android on HD2.

I agree. I think you should start with SD builds...
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931192

He said (first sentence) that he wants to dualboot actually, that's why

Yes i am confused ,
Just been reading up on the previous threads ,as i have a 1024mb of rom i followed the link ,it says it's only for use on "This Guide is only for T-Mobile USA HD2 with 1024 Mbytes ROM (1024LEO)
The ModelID for this version of HD2 is PB811200"
Is it ok to start with this ? or should i find another one

SD builds... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735

As i said in my first reply... you will need HSPL3 and radio first. then only you will be able use android on HD2. Try the SD builds of android for dual boot.

Did you check your SPL version. What version do you have???

These are the stats i have
OS 5.2.21869
Manilla 2.5.20121429
Rom 1.72.206.3
Radio 2.07.51.22.2
Protocol 15.32.50
How do i check the spl ? i have soft reset the phone but cant get the 3 colours up

restart your phone and hold the volume down button when it turns back on to get to the multicolor boot screen... that will tell you what spl you have.
Make sure the volume down is held down while the phone first gets turned on, so if you reset it, start holding the volume down right before it turns off and keep holding it until the boot screen pops up.. it should happen right away.
You should be able to use hspl3 with most spl's. Once you have hspl installed, you want to install one of the newer radios, and then your phone should be ready to run android off the sd card.

version 1.66
But it does say on one of the links that hspl wont work on my phone ,it's only usa phones ?
i have the 1024 uk version

Well I am no expert in all this dude. I am just a newb who has tried almost every type of build available. But i am a TMO US user. So I do not know what you can do.

There is no 1024 UK version. The T-Mobile USA version is the only 1024mb ROM version. The UK/ euro versions are 512mb rom size. I'm pretty sure that hspl3 works with all the phones. Hspl2 might have only been for leo1024s, but cotulla made hspl3 to make it universally compatible. When i sign on with my computer, I'll look it up if you haven't figured it out by then.

[Q] New to roms

Hi everyone!,
Im fairly new to this whole romming thing and i am looking to switch my HD2 over to a android build but i honestly dont know where to start. ive gone through lots of threads and topics but im still feeling a bit lost. im looking for something reliable for daily use (like mms, web browsing) and using androin market.
can anyone give me some guidance on what to look for?

I found the easiest fire-and-forget option was a froyo sense NAND rom... You can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931126 if you want a reasonably stable rom for a 512mb HD2.
You will need to ensure you have the correct hspl (2.08 i think), radio (any xxx.50), and magldr (1.13 i think) installed before you can proceed.
Sometimes rom choice varies on if you have a 1024mb HD2 or a 512mb HD2.
p.s.
hspl: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
magldr: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893618

I'Ve triEd many roms and every time I go back to hyperdroid gbx v12 the fastest I ever tried (too bad no FM radio)... u need to know that the only difference is in the recovery partition ...in general the sense Roms use 400 mb recovery and the non sense roms use 150 mb ...evey ROM installation is explained but if u dont know how too we can guide u ...

Just spending five minutes in reading a bit doesn't hurt you know, but we'll help you:
1- SD Android doesn't overwrite windows, you're actually using SD like a phone memory. when you reset you'll be back to WinMo and will have to run Android again.
2- What's working and not working is always mentioned in the original (first) post of every build. From my brief experience with American Android, Wifi, Camera, and GPS are working, you have to try the other features and let the developer know if something isn't working well for you. make sure to post your whole info: HD2 TMo or EU, Radio, What WinMo you're using (not very helpful but wouldn't hurt writing it anyway), and what Android version have you downloaded.
3- As long as the radio is 2.XX.50.XX you're fine.
check your SPL version though, I've never tried Android with SPL 3.X some say it doesn't work.
4- You can dual boot (or triple or even quadruple boot) Android with windows as long as your multiple android builds support having more than one beside them (and a bit of your luck as well) the program is just a shortcut for you not to use FExplorer to run Android :/ so the answer would be yes.
when you run android and have some problems, you can use search because there are many threads to solve almost every problem you'll have with android, one of them being mine (in my signature).

[Q] Could u help me out im Kinda new to this

Grtz Orlandow. u can alway help me out true skype : steve.vanderstaaij - or msn [email protected]

Ok the problem is the ROM you want to use is a NAND ROM. You need to use a SD card build to dual boot Windows Mobile and Android or to dual boot Windows Phone 7 and Android. You need to go the the HD2 Android SD Development to download SD card builds for the HD2, these builds will have the two files you mentioned before. Also look into a dual boot app for Windows Mobile as it will make booting your Android build as easy as one or to touches, or you can set it to auto boot after Win Mo boots.

okeh sir i realy dont know wich one to get maby u could help me out. all i want is a dual booth. and a android software on my phone. could u provide me the links i need. please

Ok first off you need to check out this link it contains links to all kinds of info tat can be helpful. Next as far as what SD card build you want to use, that is really up to you. Me personally I would recomend American Android, Hyperdroid, or IceCreamTostiedroid. I personally like IceCreamTostiedroid ad American Android the best, but all three are very stable. And just in case you miss it some how when click on the first link in this post go here for a SD card Android guide, and here for links to Android SD loaders that you can use in Windows Mobile to boot Android from SD card. Hope this is helpful, ad don't forget the thanks button.

woaw thanks buddy it was realy easy man. all i had to do is update my rom the latest version from the oficial HTC site. and all i had to do is make a android map.
copy and paste click CLRCAD + Herat and let it run for 10 min. and it works. so for all ur HTC HD2 has the same version has i do. do what i do its realy simple
thank u for ur help so mutch

It's all very easy, people that wanna have android on htc hd2 ... just read all the information that is given. I know that people want always everything fast they don't wanna put some knowledge in! But believe me if u read the information that's given everything will be easy! Thanks

Q.2 what are the reasons that someone can brick his T-Mobile HD2 ??
Q.3 so i need to install this new radio only for once or the everytime i install 6.5/7.5/android ??
Q.4 how big memory card i need to install dual boot of 7.5 and ICS(8/16/32 GB, i prefer the lowest as the phone speed will be decreased with a big memory card) which one works best ?
Q.5 what i need to take care of to avoid bricking my device ?
Q.6 what are the manual settings for 3G for Vodafone India ?
sorry guys for so many questions i'm so exited

Yes, as long as you have HSPL
Q.2 what are the reasons that someone can brick his T-Mobile HD2 ??
Flashing an EU radio (x.xx.51.xx)
Q.3 so i need to install this new radio only for once or the everytime i install 6.5/7.5/android ??
Only once
Q.4 how big memory card i need to install dual boot of 7.5 and ICS(8/16/32 GB, i prefer the lowest as the phone speed will be decreased with a big memory card) which one works best ?
Depends entirely on how you want to use it. I don't think a bigger card would decrease speed though, but you can do some research on that if you want.
Q.5 what i need to take care of to avoid bricking my device ?
Make sure you only flash a 2.xx.50.xx radio.

Think that should be fine, although from what I've heard the best SD classes for SD Android are 2 and 4.
Q.2 now as i have flashed a HSPL 2.08 do i need to update is later for other ROM's,,,,or this same HSPL will work for every ROM ??
Stick with HSPL 2.08.
Q.3 what is a CWM ??
CWM is short for Clockworkmod recovery. It's basically how we flash most NAND Android ROMs
Q.4 please guide me for a dual-boot of WM7.5+ThisROM
A couple of issues with that:
-I haven't done a dual boot of WP7 and Android before. Search for mengfei's guide (don't forget to thank him) and ask questions there
-The ROM you want is a NAND ROM. You need an SD ROM.
-The ROM you want is an alpha i.e. it's unstable with tonnes of issues
-The ROM you want has been discontinued
(may be i'll ask some more questions again, but please don't be pissed with my stupid questions as i don't want to brick my TMOUS.....and yes i do google everything about what i ask but google have so many confusing answers)

The radio and HSPL are fine, but as stated earlier you need an SD ROM, not a NAND ROM.

Never ask this question. Nobody can really suggest the best ROM for you, so don't even bother asking. If you want opinions, just go to the Dev sections and look at the number of views the thread has and its rating (in *s). As for the One V ROM, nothing works on that, as I've already pointed out. I've helped you so far but honestly I think you can find everything you could possibly need just by searching using the forum search tool.
