Are you kidding?
What kind of a joke is this come on is this your first time on xda? are you a virgin? YOU need to read as everything has pretty much been answered. Let this be a lesson the guys here like to have fun sometimes with a little gas and a FLAME.lol Dont post without reading you are lucky you got soo many responses.http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735 READ EVERY STICKY!!!!!!!!!!!

some help
Not wanting to invite flames but I kind of understand why people ask this, I think this forum is excellent but organisation is not 100% and it is not always straight forward or easy to find information. I had to do a lot of hunting to find that the answer was far simpler than suggested on any of these stickies etc.
All I did to get android on my phone was:
Install HardSPL onto my PC then install Hard SPL 2.08 onto my phone.
Next I updated the radio to 2.12
The above can be found through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
Next I installed excellers multi boot loader and copied an android build to my phone.

Now I agree there is some reading and learning to do and you have to work out things if they don't work but this should help you narrow down what you have to do and what you don't have to do. You don't have to change the windows mobile rom, I am still running the vodafone 1.6 version, the important parts are hardspl and the radio being a high version.
I can well recommend the shubcraft build, use the rmnet version if uk.
ready for the flames now

Burn baby burn
HSPL3. get HSPL3.

Are you kidding?????? There is a complete step by step guide right at the top and it was even linked for the OP, but yet you people still need to reply with a VERY short version of the guide ??????????

ok guys, thread closed...
op please read the threads that are open already...

overwhelmed

ok so I have been using the stock rom and all the stuff on my phone but it keeps getting bugged out of the screen gets unlocked randomly and does stuff when its in my pocket which is very annoying and a friend told me android just kills winmo..
but im looking at this forum and its just overwhelming..i see errors i see solutions i see roms i see this that ...I have NO IDE where to start!
so I got a little list with questions
:
1.if I instal any android version, do I lose all my programs,contacts basically information i have ?
2.how much better is it for an average user to go to andoid? average i mean i dont tweak it that much just used cookie home tab and bsb to upgrade performance but that is it..
3.how do i go on about installing apps on my android? i mean does it use bsb and cht? or like games from windows marketplace? how do i instal stuff like poker games and all the nonsense?
4.where do i get the most easy tutorial on how to put andoid on my phone? I dont want to read a whole page long of explanations on how to's i just wanna instal all the necessary apps or whatever and be done with it(i know im lazy)
so yeah any1???
if any1 would have the time to help me on msn id appreciate it ALOOTTT
[email protected]

Don't do this if you're too lazy to do some reading. You can potentially brick your phone if you are not 100% sure of what you are doing, and I know it's overwhelming the first time, but it's worth reading all these technicalities.
Just follow the stickies, or stick with winmo.

thanks for the tip..but updating my rom was way more easy then they showed..thats what i meant sorrry...
like when i first got the phone i went here and was like WOAH so many stickies etc...then i just downloaded the stuff i needed (hspl) and did what i thought made sense and it all worked perfectly...so the reading isn't all that needed imo..thats why i want a link to some basic introductions on what to do

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
shows an easy step by step how too
its all installed on an SD card so it doesnt touch your current set-up (windows mobile)
install 1 see how you like it if you dont just reboot your phone back to windows easy
and i mean easy just follow the steps like im sure u did with hspl and trying different roms.
JR

huh so andoid is installed OVER winmo? not instead of? this got me confused!

yeah so if u dont have an sd card u cant run android! best of starting with a nicely formatted sd card with only the android files on it, just remember to choose the right radio

hmmmm but why doesnt it run instead of winmo if i may ask? wont that make it way faster? :O but damn that sucks haha my sd card is full of stuff i need i guess ill put it all on my pc for the time being then! so how do i go about choosing a right radio? i never understood that haha i think ima just use the latest one i read on the tutorial
now that i thnk about it..you have to boot up android EVERYTIME you turn off your phone? that sucks :/

but at least if you run android you might just like it wayyyyy better???? enough to put up with booting after windows is loaded, try n see buddy,,, try n see

Check this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380

damn i hate that i have to download radios, roms etc as well for this to work :/ arggg...i just want a freaking stock rom etc lmao darnit i guess i have alot of trial and error to go trough
any1 got msn? :/ spamming this forum is kinda useless if any1 can help me within the matter of minutes on msn xD

little offtopic but im flashing a new radio on it along with the guide you guys gave me for andxoid and it gives me [ERROR260] connection
it says it cant connect or something after like5mins of the program running..i have enough bat life(89%) so thats not the problem :/ any1?

Buddy if you need to be spoon-fed you are in the wrong forum. How do you come in here and give orders how you want to be helped. Sorry xda is not for lazy people. You gotta read bro. If you are that lazy plz buy an iphone. I can see above you have been given the must read links but you ignore.
And its not like you are a total noob here looking at your status. So then dont read. Go ahead and brick your device and run to your momma crying how custom roms and android killed your phone.
Mods please close this thread before someone gets hurt!

no it doesnt run from the phone, you have to manually start it eeach time you reboot the phone, if that is too much hassle then to be honest, you are best off either sticking to winmo or selling the phone and getting a proper android phone

well here there whine * i did read the must red thread BUT i came across some problems which is why i asked what or how to fix the code 260 error with RUU, if that is fixed then I'll be able to install a new radio and a new rom AND after that run the android ....i tried running A now but it just freezes and dies because i do not have the latest/best suited rom and radio to do the job...sorry if i do not know how this forum works the first few times i use it im not a nerd I agree, i do not know allot about pc's and phones and how the exactly work but I THOUGHT thanks to a forum dedicated to sharing and helping I could gain skills and knowledge so I do not have to ask new stuff the next time.
so if you wanna help please be my guest if you're going to cry about me then gtfo

[Q] HD2: Switching ROM to ROM

So I purchased an HD2 from someone and it already has android ported to it. I dont like the ROM that is currently on it and i'm wantign to change it to the Desire HD ROM but I'm sorta stuck.
What steps do I have to do in order to do this? Do I have to remove the current ROM and install the new one? Can I just install the new one on the SD card and *BAM* thats it? do i have to clean the traces of the old ROM?
I have a million questions basically. Can SOMEBODY give me step by step instructions of how to do this or give me a link on how to do this?

To make a build work from the SD card, you need to have Windows Mobile OS.
If you want Android working from Nand, just boot into MAGLDR, hardreset your NAND memory, this will wipe the NAND;
Then enter USB Flasher mode in MAGLDR and either you can flash a new ROM or flash CWM Recovery - a tool from which you can install zipped ROM files from your SD.
Basically, chose the ROM you like to install on your device, and follow the steps provided there, those steps will be sufficient to wipe the previous ROM and install the new one.

Dude, you're a duchebag. Why would I come to a forum (not just a forum, but a Q&A forum) if I havent already looked. Thats why I hate XDA, jacka**es like you and every other "senior member" on this dang website. I come here for help and get insulted by you.
Now who looks like the dumba**? The person that actually needs help or the person that takes to time to not only point out that your a "noob" but also gives you links the the forum that I was already on.
I wish that there was another webiste other than XDA that was interested in HELPING PEOPLE. Rather than just putting them down. The "senior members" need to take a look at themselves and come off their high and mighty cloud and actuall take the time to help the ones that need it.

Wow, no need to be so harsh. And if you keep that up you'll just help turn this into a flame thread, hence the lock down of this thread by a mod. Look at the second link he gave you, it contains links to all the useful information about a HD2, and the answers to your question.
Anyways, look at this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
That thread will give you all the answers, read, read, read, I'm dead serious, it has all the answers.
Read the whole thing.
Best of luck.

Start by going to the windows mobile 6.5 dev thread and in the sticky you will find the task29 without mtty thread, get it. Check what radio you're running and if you don't have the 2.15.50, get it from the same sticky. Now come to android nand dev and find the latest MGLDR and get that too, find a rom you would like to use, find the partition size for such rom and get it.
Now start by task29.
Flash 2.15.50 radio if you don't have it.(if you do skip it)
Flash MGLDR- Either thru DAF or RUU.
Flash Clockworkmod recovery with needed partition.
Copy all your SD card content to pc and within clockworkmod advanced settings, format SD card to 1024mb with 0 swap.
Drop into the SD card the rom zip only and flash it, once done you can transfer the rest of your stuff back to the SD card from pc.
I hope this can help you a bit with your learning of android flashing in the hd2

You've been a member of XDA since 2009 and you ask this in a development forum?
Please spend a few minutes looking for yourself, all the information is available in stickies right at the top, and questions do not belong in this subforum.
To answer some of your queries:
1) You need to have put the right HSPL on your phone, with the correct Radio, and then install a bootloader like MagLdr or cLK
2) All a matter of opinion, you'll have to choose one yourself
3) Yes, you can go back to WinMo6.5 whenever.

If you get through the whole installation process.. i recommend NexusHD2 rom. Stable and snappy AOSP rom.

Throw your phone in the bin, quit XDA.
There are many guides around, have you read any of the stickes or even the forum rules before posting this such usefull thread in "Development" forums of all the places ?
Personally i feel, people like you dont deserve smart phones.

okay mate look first you asked in the wrong forum but anyway
1- install the MAGLDR 113
2- install the Recovery 400 MB
3- make 2 partitions on your sd card one fat32 and the second ext4( 1Gb )
4- download any rom you want i recommend (nexusHD2) you can find it in the forum
5- put the rom zip file on your sd
6- turn on your phone - enter magldr - enter recovery - choose wipe data and confirm it then choose install zip from sd card and continue from there by locating the zip file on your sd and conform the installation .
7- when everything done just reboot your phone
hope i helped

this is link for the rom and the guide too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
and if you want to get back to WM anytime just flash the original stock rom.

Serious question...please help

Hey Guys I have been changing roms alot on my HD2 but I run them off the SD card, which from my experience so far isnt bad at all. But what I would like to do is Dual run WP7 and then Android off the Sd card. Only problem I have is that my physical back button does not work, and every time I se something about flashing a rom with magdlr its says something about using the back button. I guess my question is, is there anay way I can Run WP7 on Nand without having to use my back button? Any help I really appreciate...(and if this is not the right area to ask please let me know and I will move my question to the appropriate place) thanks in advance, :fingers-crossed:

Seriously, this should be in the QUESTIONS section.

LOL

you can try the new CWM Recovery (Still in beta as of this post) which is Touch enabled.
First beta version came with a soft back button although it might have been removed in the newer beta versions.

This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read:
1. You're asking a question in the DEVELOPMENT FORUMS.
2. You're asking a question about WP7/SD Android in the NAND forums.
3. You clearly haven't done enough searching before asking your question
4. Your thread is titled wrongly. 'Some questions' doesn't give the people who are trying to help you any information, and I would have just skipped over this thread had it not been in the wrong forum.

as above, you deserve the roasting, , ,however, since i'm in a rare good mood, , the answer is no, you don't need the back button at all to flash magldr/cwm/clk/nand roms/wp7 roms. Send, end and voldown are all you need.

Really?!?

This type of answer is definitely understandable, but for
1. I could have sworn people have ran WP7 on the NAND and Android on the SD card (meaning the base is WP7 and they can run Android off the SD card.) ...maybe im wrong
2. You are correct I havent done enough researching on it, I was going based off some Youtube vids and what some people kept tellin me.
3. My thread isn't titled "Some questions" my thread is titled "Serious Question...please help" and I understand that I posted in the wrong place which is why if you read my whole post I established that I would move it if needed.
4. Im a noob when it comes to the HD2 I do understand that...but no need to act like a sarcastic **** about it

I do understand why I deserve some roasting, but I thank you for not coming back with some sarcastic answer. I really appreciate it honestly and I will try to flash it since you said I will not need the physical back button to do so.
