Hi,
I am trying to get Froyo or Gingerbread on my Blackstone, but I can't find a tutorial that explains the installation process carefully. Can someone create a guide or link me to a guide? Sorry, I am pretty bad at finding things . I've looked all over Google.

Hey all!
As you can see in my signature, i'm a HD2 user and i'm currently porting android, it's now been 3 months since i last used winmo!!!
To cut down to the important; my brother recently bought HTC Magic!
Since i like modding a lot, and since i have felt the beauty of android 2.2 (Froyo) on my HD2, knowing that Magic is android 1.5 by default, i want to port the latest ROM/android to his cell phone!
It's a PVT32A i guess (its written on the box 288MB RAM)
Is there is any froyo ROM for magic now?!
Or eclair?!
Stock or custom?!
I prefer stock roms if possible with froyo or eclair!
If not, what is the latest/fastest/best ROM for magic right now?! Please point me to it!
In htc site i found this http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=862;
did anyone tried it?! Is that android 1.5 or more?!
Please help me guys!
I know i should be reading but HD2 has got many bugs still in android to keep me completely busy in reading there besides that my brother doesn't like to read.
Thanks
Simple.... follow my guide to root and get custom recovery...(check my signature)... then apply stock magic 2.1 with sense found in development section... or the stock 2.2 without sense also found in development!
Good luck!

Excuse me mumilover but i have many concerns, if you or anyone can help me:
1-i've read that there is a "check for system update" in the settings/about phone but i don't have it!!! that is weird!!! I was thinking of updating the system first to see where that leads me!
2-in your root guide you use adb installing method; well i have never used it yet, is it that simple by only opening a command prompt in windows and writing "adb install C:\roottools\App\UniversalAndroot_1.6.1.apk" for example i can install this app if this is its location on pc?!?
Excuse my ignorance, but does this work simply by connecting the cell to the pc va usb (with debugging mode on) or it does need anything extra to make it work?!?
3-the biggest difficulty is that, by default, there are no file manager included and no market application!!!! which means one can not install any app!!! No way to download it and no way to install it if one can't access the SDcard!!!
Is that why we need adb?!?
4-How can i know my radio version and Hboot?! (in winmo it used to be displayed on booting)
5-Do you mean by "and get custom recovery" that i should do also steps 6, 7 and 8?! or only 7?! or maybe 7 and 8?! (coz 6 seems a bit freaky "Using this spl will cut your ram in half and make the 3.5mm jack useless!"... )
Thanks a lot
I can only say, that you have to read the guide 1-3 times more...
Many of your questions is answered there...
It very simple to follow, and i have written all the steps need.
Just do it and revert back if you get any problems.
Please, if you get problems, then write them in the guide thread and not here... to make things organized :0)

learn to read and search please. go to the thread called wildpuzzle.
Thank sir, I just gone through those steps and feel complicated for me.
Not so confidence how to do it.
However, thank for quick reply and support since the breakdown question.
Cheers!
If you need a step by step guide as to how to install WildPuzzle (Or any Custom ROM for that matter), you can refer this very detailed guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396
If, after reading that, you still cant do it, I guess you are better off sticking to the stock ROM and HTC Supplied updates.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the tips, I'll do more googling before I start to do so. Too early to say better off my friend, cos just start up, will learn and will try to do.
Cheers,
I just read your first post, and, if you have updated to official 2.2.1, there's nothing you can do anymore, because, you can't root your phone anymore till Unrevoked is updated.
Hard Luck
Oh...anyways, thanks for your information. I stick around the forum, to see what more can I do.
You all got my respect!
Cheers,

It should be.zip, not tar. You downloaded a kernel, not rom.

Hi all. I have searched and searched the forum and been reading numerious posts over the last few weeks and have ended up more confused than ever.
I am fed up with the standard froyo on my uk vodafone defy and want something better. I read good things about cm7 and would like to give it a try, however I am not very technical when it comes to such things, I have found various guides all of which differ, the main cm7 thread on here does not seem to lead me to a download link.
Can anyone help?? idiots guide maybe......
what cm7 do I download and where and how to install.
I really have tried to understand some of the posts but will admit to some of it going straight over my head.
regards
Mark
Is your phone rooted already? If so, do you have Clockwork Mod recovery? If not, you have to have that done before flashing a new ROM. If you do a search for the Defy youll find info on how to perform these operations... Cheers

my friend if you cant understand the open discussions here. u can check out youtube. just search it, many good tutorials are available there showing the steps to install cm7.. tutorials by arjoma are really worth and very easy... but suggest you before u try anything on ur fone be equipped with all softwares needed and knowledge.. cuz its little risky .. so prepare and then go ahead .. good luck ..

Hi there! Please watch carefully this video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xSIEx7kiXU
As a suggestion, make sure you have your battery over 80% before starting the process and download all these and put them on your SD Card :
Download SuperOneClick to root here: http://goo.gl/xk0AH
Defy Sndinit apk: http://goo.gl/5P89P
Download the ROM itself: http://goo.gl/XyfLE
Download the Google Apps: http://goo.gl/KMFhq
Oh, and don't forget to install all defy drivers on your PC BEFORE! Good luck !
I've been searching around for quite a bit now and can't find a guide that's easy enough for me to understand.
I'm trying to install this ROM on my HD2: (Android 4.0.4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
I've read through it multiple times but can't figure out what are they steps I need to follow in order to get it running. I also tried the search function and couldn't find anything I could easily understand. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm really new to this stuff.
So, does anyone know of a good, simple step-by-step guide to to install Android on the HD2? Thanks! :laugh: :good:
Installing Android is pretty tricky for beginners.
When I first started, this was the guide that helped me the most:
http://www.htchd2android.com/how-to/how-to-install-android-on-htc-hd2-android-4-0-4/
It's really easy to follow and helped me tremendously. I used their 4.0.3 guide back when I did mine, but that one looks to be very similar and uses a newer version.
Hope that works out for you. :good:
Thanks for the link, I haven't really had time to look through it yet but I'll be sure to check it out now.
BTW, is that a good ROM to use or would you suggest another one? Thanks again.
