I'm a bit of a noob at this.. I just received this phone from my brother, bidding that if I can get the WIFI to work on this phone, I can have it.
However, I am clueless.. This is why I figured I'd run back to xda for some help.
It is currently running on the follow:
Android 2.3.4
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Build: NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.7 NAND
Everything BUT the wifi works - I can't even ADD a network onto it.
Would I have to re-install a new build? Or is there something I can do to the phone that will fix this?
(Note: I'm an iPhone user using this phone, this phone came WITH the android OS on it. Mind that I have no idea how to flash anything so please be patient with me if I ask you a ton of questions!)
if the phone has clockworkmod recovery then you can try to fix permissions , but if it doesn't then you will have to reinstall/reflash it, but if you want my opinion you should start from scratch.

Hi all,
Having a problem getting Android to run on my Telstra HD2. I do the following:
+ Run CLRCAD; all good
+ Run HARET; all good until -- 5 or 6 lines of the linux screen appear and then it hangs, or the screen goes blank depending on the Android build that I try running.
I have an Australian HD2 with the following specs:
Model: T9193 (Telstra)
OS: 5.2.21869
R: 2.07.51.22_2
G: 15.32.50.07u
D: 1.72.82124
I am using the standard SanDisk 16Gb Micro-SD card. I have tried a number of Android builds from gamesquare.co.uk with no luck.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get this running on the stock Telstra ROM?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Peace..
Probably need to upgrade your rom
and radio. Look at some signatures of people who say their build is working good.
I didn't really want to upgrade the ROM and radio since it'd void my warranty..
RE: Telstra woes
I notice you are running 2.07.51 radio. I reckon it's your radio to be honest. I run 2.12.50.02_2 on mine. I have had problems with radios other than x.xx.50.xx radios. There is a link somewhere in here to all the working radios (I think in the definitive guide. Don't worry about warranty issues, if you ever need to deal with that, just flash back to the factory rom (but I take no responsibility .
Cheers
Definitely need to change the radio. You need a .50 radio. That also means you need to put HSPL on the phone. However, be aware that Android is not very stable yet. I couldn't get WiFi working and had all sorts of problems getting it to talk with Outlook. Went back to stock Rom highly modified (CHT etc)
Hmmm indeed the radio could be the problem. I use the 2.07.50.22_2 radio (although my G and and D values are also different from yours) and I've had no problems.
This way if anything catastrophically goes wrong with your phone and you're unable to flash the old radio back hopefully they won't notice
EDIT: Forgot about HSPL, thanks iandg.
Thanks for the replies.
I'm going to bite the bullet... I've just installed HSPL; no problems.. Now to find a radio update..

I have actually been using this as my main OS for the last 2 builds and it is really usable now. I have it syncing direct to my outlook server at work no probs at all (IT have hijacked it with security policies, but this is understandable). Other than that I reckon the DEVs here are absolute geniuses with how well this stuff is running.
Hope this is of some help

e1design, I have the same phone in the States on AT&T. Feel free to use my links below in my sig to get what I'm using. It works just fine. I haven't been on WinMo in weeks.
Done
Firstly, thanks for the replies in this thread.
I have to say that I've read it many times before: "Try the search function" - well it works wonders. With the information posted in thtis thread I was able to piece it all together and I now have Android on my HD2!
There are still a couple of things to iron out [WiFi, battery life and such] but in all a very worthwhile exercise.
Thanks again to the thread responders, and if you're in the same place as I was a week ago wanting to get Android on your HD2 - search on the keywords in this thread and you'll find it's as easy as can be.
Androis on T9193
Am totally thrilled to learn Android can be installed on the T9193.
Where are the best locations to source ROMs?
Suggestions on which are better and why?
Steps to Android..
Look at my sig and go from there..
I know I'm reviving an old thread here, but I'm wondering if any of you using a Telstra HD2 on AT&T (Cingular for me) here in the US have a stable Android install? I've been struggling with this for a long time now. I love Android but I can't get a configuration that will run longer than about 10 hours most of the time. I've gone through all the radios from 2.12.50.02_2, 2.14.50.02, and 2.15.50.14. I've switched my Windows Mobile ROM from Dutty CDLC v15 to OzDroid v1.11, I've switched my Android build from mattc froyo sense v1.8 to froyostone sense v3.2. I've gone through a couple different Linux kernels, currently on hastarin #8. No matter what I do I end up with about a 10 hour life before the device hangs. I have seen improving PPP performance with the different radios and kernels, but the overall device stability is the biggest problem. Could anyone using the Telstra HD2 for Android please post the configs that worked from them on their devices and include what kind of uptime you've achieved? I'm hoping this would really help me. Thanks in advance.
Ok For me I have the telstra HD2 and this is my Config.
Pretty much the latest of everything
- MAGLDR1.13
-Latest HSPL
-TyphoonN_CM7_v2.4.4.zip
- Radio 2.15.50.14
- Clockwork mode recovery v1.3
Just follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
Hope that helps.
Hi,
I have a new-to-me HD2. I've installed HSPL3 from here:
(can't link)
Then I decided to forego up/downgrading the radio for now. I also decided to try and stick with the stock ROM for now.
So I tried the latest shubCraft v1.4d and it wouldn't install.
Tried mattcfroyosense v1.6b and it installed, but it would crash right after bootup..
So then I went to mattcfroyo 1.5b and it seems to work 100%! So happy!
Then I tried to make a phone call. I've only tested by checking voicemail but the connection is like a high-pitch garbled mess. Any clues to trouble-shoot would really be appreciated.
I've only been at this for a few hours -- got my phone yesterday, and to be this close to a fully functional (seemingly stable except for the whole 'phone' thing ) android device is unbelievable. Great community here!
Originally had SPL 2.10.000.
Radio is the original version: 2.10.50.26
(any other details needed plz let me know.)
Check this thread out, it will help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734335
install a cooked rom, this will fix the robotic sound.
try energy rom or chucky rom. but first you have to install HSPL3 or you will brick your phone.
Just received my replacement HD2 and ran Android off my SD card. Got the high pitch squeaky robot voice. Flashed HSPL3 and an Energy ROM and no more Mr Roboto domigato.

Hi Guys MY HTC HD2 has arrived I am excited about getting this dual booting and more so about Android !
I am going to try Chuckys WM ROM combined with MDJ's Android.
32gb mem card already formated to FAT32 downloaded HSPL and boot loader and Radio so all ready to go tonight when I get home from work !
Anything else I need to know ?
Depending on what's already on the phone (assuming it's a new one), you may not need HSPL and then a ROM flash. The latest stock ROM comes with a radio version 2.15.50 which is great for running Android. If that's the case then you'll just need Android and a bootloader (not that you really need a bootloader, but you know what I mean.)
When you turn it on, look for the numbers in the bottom left of the screen. The version number prefixed with an "R" is the radio.
If you do need to upgrade the radio, then your list above is all you'll need.
Enjoy!
Hey guys just thought I would post my experience.
Phone arrived yesterday as I said my phone was running a non compatible android radio so I upgraded to HSPL then upgraded radio to a .50 then used the stock WM6 rom with DROID Sense 0.8 but I found that I could get no WIFI or MObile Data at all.
I then installed MDJ Evolution 1.7 and have been running since yesterday perfectly everything works perfect !
Just some questions:-
How do I backup my data is it just the data.img file I need for all apps downloaded etc ?
I notice that when I synched with my outlook I have multiple contacts i.e. because I have them listed as business card with several contact numbers so I presume there is no way around this ?
Whats the best way to get hotmail on the phone via web browser or is there a windows live type plugin ?
Loving the Android I must say its my first experience with Android anyway but loving the HD2 and Android and the ability to keep WM in case a WM7 ROM surfaces
Thanks for your advice and help on here guys !
I have darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1 on my HD2 and it runs great with the exception of one problem. My data connection doesn't work most of the time. I usually have "H" with the up and down arrow both gray. Even if I have 5 bars of service, my data almost never works. When I'm running WinMo 6.5 however, my data connection works perfectly.
I've tried to find threads related to my problem, but I just can't seem to find an answer.
I appreciate any help from you guys!
Is it the Nand rom? I think Darkstone mentioned that it is experimental not for daily use.
just change your rom to stable one.
Well this has happened in all versions of Android that I've tried. Do you think upgrading the radio would help?
Here are some questions back at you.
Did you set up the APN with the correct settings?
Did you mess with the Kernel?
can not install the Clockwork Mod Recovery On The HD2 when i restart on the MAGLDR only on 2.Boot AD NAND what do need help!!!!!!!!!!!
I have not, is there an instructional thread that can help me do this?
I'm not sure if you can help me Life1688, but I tried installing WP7 earlier today and made another thread about a major problem I have.
This is the thread to the other problem
I reason I'm asking you is because my knowledge of all this HD2 modifying isn't great.
Response
Try the 2.15.50.14 this rocks I get a steady 3g signal with the androi-ppc-shiftpda
nand build.
@Ionowner07470
Did changing radio help you? I have the exact same problem with the same ROM
(wich besides this works perfectly so I really dont want to change ROM)
would appriciate if you could tell me what changes you made and if they helped, thanks!

What is your ROM version? It may be ROM problem, may even be common in your ROM. Check your ROM development thread if somebody else reported this kind of problem, if he did there is probably a solution there.
Thank you for respond
This is all info.
AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.2
And no one thread this
As i searched ROM dev thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18900146&highlight=3g#post18900146) you can see that there was several problems with 3G. What helped is apparently returning to factory settings. What you can try is to perform factory reset by phone settings or hard reset, but with second one you'll loose all data. If you had system data backup, dont use it after reset.
My original phone is HTC HD2 Windows phone 6.5. I switched my phone to Android 2.3.7 and I cannot do a system restore or hard reset because it will return to windows phone.
My issue with 3G on ANDROID NOW.
thx
Nah. Your ROM is NAND rom, which means it is installed on internal memory of phone and WinMo 6.5 was ereased completely and it won't return. Hard reset will wipe data of current system. If You're using MAGLDR all you need to do is perform Hard Reset with it. I dont know how about CLK, im a MAGLDR user If that won't work, i'd suggest clean install.

Well if youre using CLK then it most likely is that . and if you arent very good with android or setting things up i suggest you switch to MAGLDR . if you shut down your phone then reboot , and you see "GO GO GO" youre on magldr . if not , youre on CLK . also , which kernel are you using ? the stock one ? i recommend fikret's or seadersn kernels for stability .
I am using CLK and I can go all over the setting but nothing working?
The Kernel Version: 2.6.32.15.
My issue is only no 3G and some time there is?

I installed the Android on the SD. It is not on the internal I am sure.
Are you using NAND? is stable and 3G working?
