Do not run via SD.
Install NAND.
If you want WM, then install it back...
The risk is that you'll brick your phone...
Read the post for the Android version you would install. Everything is explained in the posts.
If you have any questions use the "Search" button here in the forum, or Google it..
If you have any questions you must search the forum at least 8 times, and google your question at least 6 times.
These are the unwritten rules....
Good luck

Update recovery image?

Hey guys
I'm currently using an older version of RA-hero. How do I upgrade to the new version (v1.7.0.1)?
ADB for some reason won't work properly with my laptop, is there an alternative way to upgrade my recovery rom?
Thanks,
Alex
edit: oops my bad, I thought I was posting under Q&A. Sorry!
Try using the update.zip posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7873924&postcount=1208
Have a look at BTDAGs guide linked in my signature, there should be step by step instructions using Terminal Emulator, failing that you can also try Flashrec but that doesn't work on all roms for some reason.

I've already got that ! Do I just flash it like I would do with a ROM? Or is there some other process?
... Oh, too late, the update.zip method posted above will be the easiest route to go.

Yep, just like a ROM.

[Q] please help!!

Hi all so I got an activation code from Ms and activated my device. It worked fine for the first 3weeks then xbox live started saying your live id is not working ... and marketplace says cant get info now check back in a while, and now IM stuck with no downloading and no xbox live: ( pls help, and I have a question if I install a new ROM will the activation code work more than 3 times on same account? And btw I'm using football ROM with no nodo update, THX in advance
EDIT: ONE more question guys, can I do some sort of backup for my current ROM?
You can use the same activation on the same phone no matter how many rom update you do. I'm on my 5th and it's fine still. I believe the limit is how many WP7 devices it can be used on simulataneosly which is 3.
As for the Live thing. This did happen to me but seemed to just sort it self out eventually. But if you are planning on changing your Rom anyway just do that.
Roms installed through Zune will auto-reinstall on new rom. Other will have to be done manually.
THX for your reply

nope, you cant, at the moment you can manually backup data from your apps, for example, i have a program that tracks my MPG of my car, i can backup that data, somebody is working on a way of making that easier. But as for backing up everything, nope there isnt anything you can do.

You can back up a WP7, but do not know about the HD2-WP7 roms, but there is a thread on the real wp7 back-up here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103011
May be of some use????

How to upgrade without losing apps and stuff???

Hi everyone,
Due to the success I had loading the Android nand on my HD2, its been a while since I've been here. I wanted to upgrade my phone to the latest Android software. Can you guys help with that? I am running a nand rom from Dark Forces Team. Is there anyway to upgrade without losing my apps and/or other things....I guess?
Thank you in advance!

Oh cool. Where do I get that? Also, how do I upgrade? I guess I should've mentioned that before.

Download all these Apps and install them.
Backup the things you want to backup (will be saved to sd)
Flash new rom.
Install Apps again and restore the data

Sorry, I must be blind. Is there a link or something I should click on? I skimmed through the forum; not sure where the apps are nor the Rom I should use to upgrade.
You go to android nand section on xda and choose rom you want and download these Apps through market.
Sry that's what you asked for and that's it.

Got it. Thank you.
Do you recommend a specific nand? I'm on t-mobile US.

Depends on what you want
There is the sense 3.0 rom by langthang or Miui by that dev.
Sense 3.0 has a tnous version so you can try this

So 3.0 is the latest software? I thought it was 2.3. Yeah, I've been gone too long.
2.3.4 is latest.
I meant sense 3.0

SD winfone7 builds?

Hello all I'm bored and wanna mess with winfone7 but only a SD build. Do they make one?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
No. Backup your Android or WM. Install to NAND is the only way.
seems to be an easy General Q&A question to me ...

Hi,
Please title your thread properly, and please search before posting. Both of these are among xda rules.
This is not HTC-support, no one will "guide" you. This is xda, you need to go out there and find stuff yourself, it's not that hard. Just google "How to install android on the HD2". Instead of the ROM the guide will suggest, use a ROM that is the "latest".

As marv said, it's really not that hard to Google things but if you look carefully I'm providing you with the answer just by posting (yes, I'm that awesome)
