[Q] HTC HD2 - Changing WM6.5 to Android - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi,
I have just purchased a new HTC HD2 on T-Mobile (U.K.)
I am a total novice and wish to change from Windows 6.5 to the better latest Android OS.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this? I have no idea what I am doing and do not want to something which may jeopardise the phone (I do know that it does affect the warranty)
I did find this site: hottipscentral.com/how-to-install-android-gingerbread-2-3-5-on-the-t-mobile-htc-hd2 But this is a U.S. version
Any feedback would be really appreciated.
Many thanks

Thanks for the reply. It does give a good detailed description but I would really like a Video like a step by step so I can see what I am doing.

Thanks for your reply. I found this youtubedotcom/watch?v=PmfSpQBVx-E&feature=player_embedded
But will it work for U.K. version?

The link that was posted as the walkthrough from MSkip is the easiest. Thats the one that I used on multiple phones. Just make sure you use the Euro stuff and not the US stuff. Really simple really.

Thanks for replying. What do you mean about 'Euro Stuff?'

The right radio. You cant use a US radio. Like the walkthrough says use one that works with 576 RAM. US version is 1024 Ram.

Thanks for the reply and I know what you mean about the Radio.
If anyone can give me a Internet address for U.K. I would really appreciate it.

in the future do yourself a huge favor and just kind of check thru the threads or type what you're looking for in google followed or preceded by the letters xda to better put the forum to use......or you will get flamed....not a threat more of a warning...it's been really touchy lately

Do not open new threads since it makes it hard to find stuff for everyone else. For the future, use this site's search function, the Wiki, Google, Yahoo, or whatever your heart feels at ease with. All in all, "Search Before You Post. And If You DO Need To Post, Do It In The Right Thread!"

hey no problem...I do understand..as many of us do...however that being said...I also can relate to "clogged forum syndrome" and noob "bottle necking"....to some people what you did amounts to walking into a building full of restrooms and immediately you ask which one is the mens room?......flaming is a way of bashing someone online for doing or not doing something that should be obvious to most....there are some who would essentially light you up for the question you posted because there is a seperate thread for wing roms and it appears you did not look for or at it before asking....still if you have never been to the thread and dont know exactly how to search how would you know?.....so take this info with a grain of salt and remember how it feels even after you've been here a while....and perhaps you'll get to explain to the next noob how it goes in the community....all good hope you found what you're seeking......
try google!

Don't follow that previous link in this thread. That was for HTC Wings, which is completely different than the T-Mobile Wing. What you want is the HTC Herald forums (Herald is the manufacturer codename for the Wing). Hope that made sense.

i believe that comment was because this has been addressed a LOT!! when new users ask questions without doing a little research on their own first people are less likely to help you in this forum. just a heads up for next time. good luck finding the information you need and next time try to spend a little time reading previous posts to find answers first. take care

The reasons why people less likely to help are
1) they don't really have enough or reliable information to give you an exact answer.
2)It is angry when you answer question like this: 1000times
are you a boy?yes
what is your name?noob
are you a boy?yes
what is your name?noob
are you a male?yes
what is your first name?freaking
you sure you are a boy?yes
what is your name again? freaking noob.......
.......
However, mostly XDA users are polite. please read and search...Before you start a thread, if you are lazy...press ALT+F4,it definitely help you heaps.....
Search dude....

Yeah, its may taste of humor
Personally I tried a lot of options, and my leo is quite angry of me because I did every possible thing with her D).
I suggest reading this thread, it gives you a good start...
My choice if I where you:
1. HardSPL your device (Instructions available in the thread mentioned above).
2. Install some good cooked ROM (Hacked windows mobile version) on your phone. My own choice: Artemis.
3. Download and install some good android build. My own choice: mattc.
P.S: BTW, do gals give guys gifts as expensive as Leo in your place? I wish I lived in your country!

Haha you don't know how difficult it is not to flame you right now.
1. There is no best ROM. It's a matter of opinion. What's the best colour? Exactly.
2. Yes, there are tutorials, but I'm not going to give them to you. Find them yourself. If you aren't completely incompetent you'll find a link right in front of your eyes. If not, then you probably shouldn't be flashing anything.
3. Please watch this video before doing anything else.

Hi
I tested some of this forum roms and I think this rom (NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.7 [NativeSD][tytung_HWA_r3.4]) is better than other which I tested.
before doing any thing read forum posts carefully to avoid problems.
