hello everyone. i recently had my touch pro2 swapped out for the hd2 and i would like to put android on it. i've found some files from a developer named darksense but i'm not quite sure how to make use of them. can anyone explain how to install android on a fresh HD2? or at least link me to a thread in the forums that will help. thank you in advance
p.s. i've noticed two installation methods(SD and NAND) i'd prefer the NAND because from what i've gathered, i dont HAVE to have an SD card that will hold the OS

1. See noob guide on Flashing NAND Android rom (link in my signature)
2. You can't back it up, but there are lots of places where you can download the rom. check out the WM6.5 development thread to see if you can get a download link.
3. To me NAND is far more smooth in operation than running off of sd card. Running of sd card I guess gives the flexibility of having 2 os's that you can switch between if for some obscure reason you would want to do that (ie dual boot)
4. Just flash the stock wm rom back
5. No, it won't lock the device again. (AFAIK - 99.9% sure )
My current favourite rom is also linked in my signature.

#2 - Try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789506
#3 You will find all info needed wrt running Android off of sd card in this forum. Check out the first sticky which will have links to the useful posts to give guidance.
5# AFAIK no it won't. (Have never had to do an unlock and then reflash so can't confirm this one)
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,
zuka
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"
Hi All,
Firs of all I want to say, what a great site. Fantastic that there are people who all pull together for the good of technology.
Now to what I am looking to do,
I have the HTC HD 2 running windows 6.5 (I think). Now I want to install Android to run off the SD card, I know this is possible as it is all over xda/net, what I am finding is there is not a link to say "This is the latest one and here is how to do it" (Correct me if I am wrong or point me in the direction)
Could anyone please send me a link to the download of the best working android for my HD2 that will run off the SD card.
I have a good understanding of application deployment etc, I just need a basic instruction and a link to the files required.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Many thanks,
Jake =)

Please check this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881958
Whats going on guys, im a noob with the develpoment of the htc leo. i was just wondering what sd and nand development are and how would i go about instaling the two types on my htc leo, if that makes any sense. I also ran across an android rom and its forum and it said something about partitioning the sd card. I would really appreciate it if someone could break each proccess down for me and tell me how to install roms of all sorts.. Thank you guys! I really need help!!
You are a noob? Hello Noob, this is for you: Click Here
I heard that some people have gotten Android 5.1 runnin' on their HTC HD2 via ROM reflash, I want it be able to boot from the SD Card from HaRET.exe, like most of the ROM's inside another forum. I don't want to mess with 'MAGLDR' or deleting WinMo.
Any thoughts?
did you try this?
