1.yes (except camera)
2.yes
2+. Nand is faster. But if you want to have dual boot, use SD Android.
3. Install SPL 2.08.HSPL, Do Task 29, Flash RADIO 2.15.XXX, install MAGLDR, Install WP7 or Nandroid. If you want to have Winmo 6.5, you dont need MAGLDR.
4. Yes. I think
Youre welcome
im sorry, i forgot to write this in the post but what would be the best rom for everything working for each OS . Thanks again

I personally feel that it's a good practice to to a task29 prior to flashing a new rom on the phone. Task 29 erases everything on the nand, including magldr. That's why you have to reinstall magldr after doing a task29.
As to which rom to use, that depends on you & on your phone. Do you prefer Sense or not? Do you want everything to work, or are you okay with some minor issues to get the latest and greatest? Do you need any special language capability built into the rom? Do you have a LEO512 or a LEO1024?
I personally prefer the DesireHD rom. The rom I'm using won't fit on the LEO512.
There is no need to perform a Task29 before reflashing. It does no harm though.
I agree with dipaolnv, it is a matter of choice. But, he is slighly mistaken, I have a LEO512 and am using a totally stock DesireHD ROM. That is where ext partitions come in to play
There is lots of information here to get to grips with, take your time and have some fun

Yes, there are a few roms that have the ext partition on the SD card to allow you to have a "stock" DesireHD on a LEO512... I was thinking that but never typed it . Thanks for mentioning.
Personally I'd say it's not a good idea to do task29's when you don't have to. Your NAND chips have a certain amount of read/writes i their usable lifetime. It's a very high number, granted, but there is a limit.
i prefer to have sense and that everything work i'have tried cyanogen gingerbread but i love making 720p videos and so i'm returned to mdj froyo version
anyway thank i understand some thing ... another question i didn't understand too much about the ext partition there a guide but it doesn't explain why i have to do it . if you can help me also on this point
and what about wp7?
Now i have got 2 htc hd2 in my hand. the mine is brended my friend's one is no brend .... why with the same android built his hd2 is faster to wake up and ecc ? Is a problem of brand ? How can i fix it ?
Hi. I am keen to learn how to port a Gingerbread ROM which I like to HD2 and would appreciate if someone could advice or recommend me the place to start. The closest I found was in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898215 but someone mentioned that it is already outdated as the advice would only work with older android version.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

I am not sure if this is call making an android Rom ... what I want to know is if I see a good gingerbread rom from the HTC desire for example, how can I "cook" it for hd2?
Yeah I think u mean making,cooking a rom for HD2,not flashing it to HD2 ,right?
I think u need to put alot of time to make a good stable rom.that's y I prefer to download one and just flash it and see how it runs

Yes. I am not referring to flashing it but cooking it for hd2. I have already tried a couple of the custom Gingerbread Rom for hd2 but am not entirely satisfied so I decide to cook one for myself based on the other HTC handsets.
Aha I see,I'm using BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.3 RAM_V5 and so far it's great.
ppl also recommend this:
TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2 v2.6.2 [2.3.3][A2SD][tytung r7]
but if u wanna make ur own rom ,if I'm not wrong u can find a Chief program easy to cook a rom for ur desires ,but I'm not 100 percent sure it's an entire rom or just the interface ,I never tried that, have a look at that.
Been using TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 rom on my device this rom updates very quickly
So tomorrow I have a brand new HTC HD2 from T-MOUSA arivving brand new. Of course the first thing I wanna do is root it, after I figure out which rom to choose. Before I do that are there some things I should do first right out the box?
1. Using TMO? (if not - unlock)
2. Flash to custom firmware.
3. ... of course, install Android SD and forget about WM

You did not post back here so I was wondering what did you do with your HD2 when you got it.

Custom firmware is custom but it is still Windows Mobile (WM). So if you flash a custom ROM you still have WM but just a way more smooth WM ROM.
Flash it with mgldr then clockwork mod then android nand flash. I like tween typhoon rom

Sorry everyone I totally forgot about this thread. Well when I got the phone the SPL or the radio didn't match the prerequisites it needed to match for the rom I wanted (HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6). After 36 hours of reading and researching I figured out I needed to flash a stock rom in order to get the prerequisites I needed. After finding the stock rom, on TMOUS website, I installed in it installed the new radio and spl, the same ones I needed. So I followed the guide and installed HardSPL and then MAGLDR then flashed it with HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6 and it worked flawlessly. I would highly recommend this rom for the HD2.

Nice ROM choice there! Your HD2 is going to surprise you a lot more than the newer devices and their surface-appealing specs.

The answer is easy, there no such thing as without a single issue. Even a real android phone have flaws. Hardware, software, and carrier, somewhere between them someone always messed up something. Now between those 4, if you like pure android with the latest update is tytung's ROM. With a little more style out of the box is HyperdroidGBX.

yes, but first, wipe/format, when in cwm you must wipe data to install new rom, and everything is the same.
so when in cwm i will
1. wipe data factory reset
2. wipe cache partitions
3. install zip from sd if I have all of my radio's and SPL's installed for the ROM
Correct me if im wrong.

Thanks malybru I was just woundering once NAND is installed will it act just like a regular android phone when it comes to flashing new ROMs
I still have a G1 and its pretty easy flashing new ROMs, Karnels, and Radios

Hi,
Once you get used to the process,it's very easy to change ROMS.
It all seems daunting to begin with,but if you read up well,it's fairly simple...
I never had a regular android phone,as I have come from WinMo.
But I've made my HD2 into an android phone and it's easy switching ROMS.
Read the thread I gave you and number 2 in my sig...
Enjoy
i have tried all the "fast" roms but i feel like HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6 EU&TMOUS[SKINNED&TWEAKED] is fast and a bit more stable and if you want a build without sense then i really like CME DHD2 Compact v1.6[Superlight][NoSense][RAFPIGNA 1.9OC]

You can try without wipe cache partitions. Only step 1. and 3. and reboot, and remmeber for unwritten rule, that always after complete FIRST boot, you POWER OFF and POWER ON your phone. IT will make things better. But not *reboot*

!Hey guys I've been running hyperdroid gbx for about 2 weeks now, I love it!
I'm actually using it now to make my post.
Just a couple of questions
1. Does anybody know the best settings/ kernals to get excellent battery life without sacrificing 2 much performance?
2. Also is their away to go directly from MAGLDR to cLK
Thanks for all of you guys help
I need a simple upgrade from the original HD2 Android 2.2 to a stable 2.3.x version.
Can anyone suggest one? (This is not a "which is the best ROM" request.)
I just want one that is the simplest and working out of the box to flash from the original MGLDR 2.2 Android on a TMOUS HD2. I'm flashing for an older friend for whom I installed the original some time ago, and he asked me to help him get Gingerbread, and I'm a little 'out of the loop' on the HD2 Android developments and particulars, so a simple flash is best. Is there a simple CWM flashable version for TMOUS that doesn't need to manually mess with partition prep, etc.?
Stability is more important than bleeding edge in this case, so any 2.3.x build is fine.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

If you're looking for a sense rom, I'd suggest going with one of the dhd roms (You'll have to use usb flasher to get the partition on), otherwise the simplest would be either:
This -> NexusHD2
This -> Typhoon CM7
or This -> HyperDroid CM7
These three roms need less system space than sense roms, so if you don't mind having a lot of empty space in your system partition, all you need to do is flash the zip using cwr.
My personal recommendation is the Typhoon Rom (2nd rom), it's very stable and up to date. Also, you can use either Titanium Backup/MyBackup apps to backup the phone's current apps.
I would recommend HyperDroidCM7v3.1. It's android 2.3.5 for both cwm and magldr. When I found it I stopped searching, and I am never gonna try anything else! (well, maybe. But you know what I mean hehe )
