hey guys, im a newb to all this nand anroid stuff, anyway to the point, i like wp7 but this overheating crap is a big issue, can barely use the phone, so i want to go back to android..
do i have to go back to stop wm6.5 rom first to install nand or can i just overwrite wp7 on my hd2 via magldr??
i have the tmobile 1024 hd2
also, ill be going overseas and plan on getting my phone unlocked. would this be a problem because i will end up having android on my device?
i am not backing anything up so please save yourself the typing.
should be fine to just go into magldr and flash a cwm partition layout, which should wipe wp7. Only go for teh full reinstall if it doesnt work the quick way.
You will need to remove the wp7 formatting on the sd card, tho, else you will only have 200 meg accessible.

No.. as long as you perform a task29 once in a while then you should be fine.. Just don't loose the Key for WP7 if you have one..
I switch around all the time
I know to do this we can boot into MAGLDR and install the Nand Android Rom. However is that all there is to it or do I have to reformat the sd card first? If so how do we do this? Thanks.
If i install magldr will it erase my windows 6 off my htc hd2 leo tmobile?
Yes it wipes the place where WinMo is and replaces it with MAGLDR. If you want to keep WinMo and flash Android just flash it via SD card.

I think what Skellyy means is copy a exstacted Adroid file from a SD card build and run Android from SD card. Just wanted to clearify. But Skellyy has a very good point, I suggest you try it.
ok can i back up the t-mobile rom? and if i can, can i reinstall it later? and also if i install windows 7 or android will it keep the t-mobile settings? sorry for asking so many questions but im a noob and its all about the knowledge

You can flash the original stock ROM from the Tmo site if you don't want to keep MAGLDR on it. I'm sure there are apps for winmo to backup your apps/programs incase you want to go back. And yeah you'll keep your settings as the phone will detect them on the SIM card.

You can back up certain aspects and settings with apps like Microsoft My Phone and SPB backup. SPB backup will do more than Microsoft My Phone but it is paid app also plus with back up apps such as SPB backup you have to use the same ROM or you will have problems arise. All you have to do to reinstall the ROM is download the ROM and flash it then use the back up you used before you went Andoid or WP7. Most Android ROMs have mutiple APN settings preconfigured and does a search on the first boot and ask if the settings for your carrier is the ones house want to use. I have no idea about WP7 as I have not tried it or are very interested in it.
ty for you help guys i have decided to just boot android off sd because i use my phone for work and afraid to brick it lol
You shhould do it dude. Tgerpe will always be somebody to help. TMac and Sam come to mind. It's actually easier to flash Android then to brick your phone.
One of the only ways that I know of is flashing a wrong radio but as long as you have a Tmo just make sure you don't flash a .51 radio.

If you feel more comfortable going with a SD card build that is cool cause in the end it is up to you to make sure you are doing everrthing right and don't mess your HD2 up. The SD card build are 100% safe as they can bot mess your HD2 up cause nothing is flashed to the phone meaning nothing is changed in the NAND memory. But if you really want to go NAND and try Android or WP7 it is not realky complicated the only real difference between going Android and WP7 is you have to use the MAGLDR USB flasher to flash the WP7 where with Android you can use MAGLDR USB flasher or the SD flasher, you can also installments Clock Work Mod (CWM) and use it to flash Android.Here are to links to guides on flashing Android. But if you follow them through to the point that you have MAGLDR flashed you are then ready to flash WP7.
MSkip's guide (wich is a little old now but still good) also use HSPL 4 instead of HSPL 3 as he says in the guide as HSPL has been updated to support HD2 SPL 3.03.0000.

I'd take slight issue with that statement. Not that its wrong as such, the phone is indeed insanely unlikely to be damaged, but I have seen lots of posts, (and it happened to me more than once, , ,) where after running SD Droid the phone would get stuck loading winmo sense at boot, and require a hard reset. Not damaging, but a pain none the less.
Course thousands of people use SD every day, just making aware of the potential side effects.

Thanks for the tip Sam as I have not heard of that from anyone. You have also been around herr a lot longer than I as well. It is a major pain to have to bard reset your HD2 but if this is the only negative effect. Then I would say it is exceptable side effect. I have read some post about after extended use of Android from SD it has ruined a SD card requiring the purchase of a new one. I have also read a few post about concerns of the added wear and tear on the SD card reader in the HD2, but have not seen any real prof this should be a concern. Thanks again for you dvice though Sam.
At the OP some say it runs faster from NAND then from SD I have not tried a NAND Android ROM yet so I csn give no personal feed back on this. Maybe others can give you some feed back on this question. But from my use of Android on SD I can notsee where it would actually perform any faster. Now the boot up time is drasticly dropped down with the NAND Android ROMs I do know that.
Hi all, I have recently (yesterday) managed to install ANdroid on my HD2 and must say I am really pleased with it!. Just 2 things that I'm stuck with.
1, I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948 to be able to get android on and used the nand android rom as described. I then started adding loads of apps and quickly ran out of space. Can I use apps2sd with this rom and is so how do I go about it?. Do I have to reflash the rom again, or is there another way?.
If I have to reflash the rom then I would like to find a rom that is as close to stock sense but has the working flip clock. Anyone have any to recommend???.
Either I'm getting thick in my old age or it was alot easier to Root and Rom my Wildfire that I had previously.....
Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks Scotty.
What Rom are you using? Apps2sd will be in the title of the roms that support it, you need to partition some of your SD to ext4, you can do this via cwm (clockwork mod) then the roms that support it will automatically install apps to SD this is a good Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010498
In cwm go to advanced then partition, you will lose everything on your SD tho so back it up, your SD really needs to be at least a class 4 ideally 6 8 or 10 tho
Edit/ 1gb partition is plenty, any more will cause problems

Hello.
After a long time, i want to give a try to another ROM in my phone. However, i have a few questions as the phone wasn't "made" by me.
I bought the phone and it came already with Froyo with Sense installed (Although in hardware info it says it is an HTC Desire.) but very stable
Finally with HTC Super tool i rooted the phone. Everythings seems ok with root checkers and titanium backup.
Now. The phone starts android using MAGLDR, it even had a nice splash screen that sayd android HD2 and after the dark forces splash screen. With this, the ROM is in the phone memory right? Can i load a rom from the SD card and keep Froyo in the phone in case something is wrong? Should i wipe entirely and depend on the backups if something goes wrong?
I'm interested in trying CM7 and MUIU. Should i learn about clk?
any other advice? This will be my first flashing and i really find Froyo very stable, but having this device and not trying something else seems like a waste.
Last in priority... if i would be interesting in trying also WP7 Mango, but keeping Android as my main OS, what are steps to go? need to partition my card or make important decisions before?
Thanks for all the help!
in order to flash mango you have to wipe android from nand.
you can run an android sd build without wiping the present nand build. you can try 3dak's miui rom in sd android section.
if you want to run your hd2 in maximum performance i recommend using hyperdroid cm7 rom in nand android section.
Hi
If your HD2 had Froyo installed, it was more than probably already rooted when you received it
Installing a ROM on your SD card is safe and won't break anything in your phone's memory as long as you follow the installation procedure of your ROM carefully. Make sure that you pick up a ROM in the HD2 Android SD Development forum
Ok. so WP7 will be a no for the moment.
will try then some sd card methods and roms.
Once i find one that i like, i should move it to nand right?
I thought the phone would be rooted since the beggining also, as it even had SU installed, but after trying to use titanium, SU itself, terminal and rootchecker everything said it wasn't. Thought it was funny. Now everything works.
Will pass by SD forum then.
Thanks!
If you want to install the ROM on NAND, you can't install the ROM that you used for SD, you have to find the NAND version of the ROM in the HD2 Android NAND Development
Installing on NAND is quite more difficult when you begin. It's also more dangerous and might brick your phone if you don't take care.
Follow one of the tutorials posted on the forum, you'll have to make familiar with a lot of terms and tools, and it's important that you understand all your actions.
Always make a backup prior to install a new ROM, for this you have to use the Backup/Restore tool of ClockworkMod... your new home
(You start ClockworkMod from MAGLDR - Option "AD Recovery")
Good luck
Thanks for the advices.
I´ve been playing with miui for a few days and so far i like it.
Question.
Right now im playing with my htc sense rom in nand, and miui in sd.
Even if the apps of the htc are in the sd, miui cannot see them. Do i have to redownload and reinstall everything i need for miui?
Specially worried about some apps that were payed...

No just download 'titanium backup' from the Android Market, backup all apps then restore them on the SD build.
Hey guys, I need some quick suggestions if anyone has it. Currently I have a non working phone.
I have been running an ICS NAND rom on my hd2 for a while now, havnt had any issues (a few niggles with the rom, nothing major) so I thought today I would update to the latest version.
I used the hd2toolkit to resize the partition to the biggest size it would allow, then used ad recovery to flash the new .zip to the nand. This is where my problems started, whenever i booted it just showed the boot animation, (I waited over an hour and pulled the battery out and re booted / reflashed a few times).
I found with a differnet rom i tried, pulling out the SD car would allow it to get to the welcome screen, but no screen input was accepted. I thought this was a bit weird but pushed on. I tried a different rom and it stated after flashing that it was optimising applications and looked like it was stuck in a boot loop. I did some reading up about it and found that task29 should help. I ran this but then all the phone would do is show the green HTC on the white background, it wouldnt let me to get into magdlr menu.
I then decided to to a full restore and go back to the wm rom from th HTC site (The australia telstra version), this seemed to flash on fine, but now I can not slide or click buttons in wm, no screen input is accepted. Which is strange as it was doing this in an android rom, as I mentioned previously.
Any ideas on how I can get touch working / get a NAND android rom to work again.
Thanks in advance guys
First verify that you have hspl installed by powering on while holding vol down button to get to bootloader screen
Go back to the hd2 nand toolkit
1.task29
2. Select either cLK repartition or Magldr repartition and select size for your rom (not the maximum size). 200 mb is fine for ics using sdext partition.
3.Select magldr update recovery or cLK install recovery depending on your selection above.
4. Reboot phone by pressing power and holding to get to magldr or power and home button to get to cwm recovery.
5. Install ICS from sd card as before
Thanks for the help, I had to flash a different radio version to get magdlr to boot.
I now have android running of my NAND, but the screen is non-responsive now, as it was yesterday.
I doubt it is hardware related, because I have never had an issue before yesterday when I wanted to change the android version, any ideas how I could get it working?
Make a backup and then repartition again using HD2 toolkit. Maybe you got a bad download or something. Seems simple but it does happen. To me if I didn't know you choose the biggest it would sound like the partition wasn't big enough. Maybe try a cyanogen ROM since it reguires very little partition size and report back if successful.

I have tried two different android roms and the stock wm image from htc's site, all of which the screen doesn't work on. I will have a try with a cyanogen ROM and see if that makes a difference. Thanks

I just tried this rom and still no deal. This is very weird as I haven't had any issues with the screen at all, the phone is still in new physical condition.
Does anyone want to have a stab in the dark, as I really need to use it as a GPS tomorrow and any help would be appreciated.
Tell me what the steps you take to install a new ROM. Do you have MAGLDR or clk? Have you task29 yet? Are you sure your using the right partition? Are you using nand or sd Android?
If all else fails maybe check out this thread to reinstall
MAGLDR and then cwm. I've had problems in the past installing HyperDroid without
wiping my SD card first. Maybe check out this nand ROM instead or Coredroid found in my signature.

When installing a new rom, I have resized the magdlr partition, then copied the .zip to the sd card, then in ad recovery installed the zip through there. This has worked fine in the past. I followed the videos you have linked and I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right and yes ive used task29 several times. In AD Recovery every time it states that installation has been successful. I have also formatted my SD card many times.
The ROM you linked, I can find download links on the page, not sure if I'm just missing them.
I just tried an SD card rom, its doing the same thing, no touch input is accepted.
Does NAND roms and SD roms not working imply that it could well be hardware? I just dont understand as it stopped working when I was reflashing yesterday and it was not dropped or roughly handled in anyway during this process.
I am now going to investigate MTTY (for bad blocks) and try reflashing back to original WM again. Please post more suggestions if anyone has them.
Another update: I just restored to default using the method listed below.
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/15/how-to-restore-stock-rom-on-htc-hd2-video/
It took around 40-ish minutes and still no input from the screen, this is seriously frustrating.
WM boots fine and everything, but still no input is accepted.
I'm sorry to say but if your having the same problem with all that then it sounds like the digitizer stopped working. Maybe someone else knows something I don't so I would wait to see if they could help out.

Thanks mate, I am not sure why it would have just stopped last night. Appreciate all the help! I'll see if anyone else has any suggestions.
It's not a problem. I do have to admit that it does seem pretty odd the timing of it. Hopefully it's a not the digitizer and someone would be able to point out what might be the cause of everything.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
This may seem a little crazy, but after having a search online about my issue, it seems that a ribbon going to the screen / digitizer is behind the power button on the HD2s, which apparently can get loose and after a sharp press of the button it started accepting screen input again!
The issue for me now is that when the power button it will stop accepting input again, untill I press it firmly again. I think I may need to open up the phone and check all the connections now.
