Q.1)Hey my friend have a HD2 he got its network unlocked i want to know is if i flash different bootloader will his network get relocked??
Q.2)Hey tell me is NAND or SD rom which one is better he needs android?
Q.3)Which rom do u use and recommend he wants one time installation....
Q.4)n00b's guide will be great...
Q.5)Is everything working in android rom??Camera(with zoom)?WIFI?Bluetooth?
1. Don't know, sorry, but I would assume not.
2. NAND is much better, but if he wants WinMo as a backup then obviously SD. However, NAND is VERY stable.
3. I recommend Typhoon CM7 although there are tons of great ROMs.
4. Go through the stickies in Android NAND Development, go to the tutorial on how to install NAND Android with CWM.
5. Yes, everything works well. No 720p recording (unimportant) and a few other bugs, depending on ROM.
Unlocked phones do not get locked again if you flash a new radio, bootloader, android, ClockWorkMod recovery, WinMo, Win7 or Ubuntu.
While there are a ton of n00b threads, here is what you are looking to search for-
1. HSPL- Make sure you get 2.08
2. Radio- Make sure you have 2.12.50.xx or 2.15.50.xx
3. Download and use ksubedi's tool kit, its a sticky on the NAND section to install boot loaders and recovery
4. Get a ROM that matches your bootloader, flash it from recovery
Read up about Magldr and cLK bootloaders to make your choice.

The points I gave you has all the keywords you should look-up/ search for before you start your Android journey. Please read-up on each step properly, else you may end up with a brick!

Then you obviously need to start searching and reading.
You cant just create a topic and expect people to teach you everything, If you want to learn go and read. There is information in abundance, plenty of guides and step by step instructions.
PS. When creating topics your title needs to be descriptive. "HD2 help" is not descriptive.

You asked for a n00b guide...!
Anyways, if you are not a n00b, then the points I gave you are sufficient to search the forum and get to the works. Do remember, every phone is different- what you did for the x10 will be a lot different from what you have to do for the HD2. Do your reading first before you start anything, just to be safe than sorry...

Well you are a n00b to HD2, hence you need to do some reading like we all did.

So tomorrow I have a brand new HTC HD2 from T-MOUSA arivving brand new. Of course the first thing I wanna do is root it, after I figure out which rom to choose. Before I do that are there some things I should do first right out the box?
1. Using TMO? (if not - unlock)
2. Flash to custom firmware.
3. ... of course, install Android SD and forget about WM

You did not post back here so I was wondering what did you do with your HD2 when you got it.

Custom firmware is custom but it is still Windows Mobile (WM). So if you flash a custom ROM you still have WM but just a way more smooth WM ROM.
Flash it with mgldr then clockwork mod then android nand flash. I like tween typhoon rom

Sorry everyone I totally forgot about this thread. Well when I got the phone the SPL or the radio didn't match the prerequisites it needed to match for the rom I wanted (HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6). After 36 hours of reading and researching I figured out I needed to flash a stock rom in order to get the prerequisites I needed. After finding the stock rom, on TMOUS website, I installed in it installed the new radio and spl, the same ones I needed. So I followed the guide and installed HardSPL and then MAGLDR then flashed it with HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6 and it worked flawlessly. I would highly recommend this rom for the HD2.

Nice ROM choice there! Your HD2 is going to surprise you a lot more than the newer devices and their surface-appealing specs.

It already has surprised me it left the stock rom in the dust a million times over.
I'm still in shock that the community has made this HD2 such a killer phone and the manufacturer Has notjumped on theband wagon. I love my phone again thanks to xda

1.yes (except camera)
2.yes
2+. Nand is faster. But if you want to have dual boot, use SD Android.
3. Install SPL 2.08.HSPL, Do Task 29, Flash RADIO 2.15.XXX, install MAGLDR, Install WP7 or Nandroid. If you want to have Winmo 6.5, you dont need MAGLDR.
4. Yes. I think
Youre welcome
im sorry, i forgot to write this in the post but what would be the best rom for everything working for each OS . Thanks again

No such thing, they're all the best rom, ,, if there was a best one, we'd all be using it.
I need a simple upgrade from the original HD2 Android 2.2 to a stable 2.3.x version.
Can anyone suggest one? (This is not a "which is the best ROM" request.)
I just want one that is the simplest and working out of the box to flash from the original MGLDR 2.2 Android on a TMOUS HD2. I'm flashing for an older friend for whom I installed the original some time ago, and he asked me to help him get Gingerbread, and I'm a little 'out of the loop' on the HD2 Android developments and particulars, so a simple flash is best. Is there a simple CWM flashable version for TMOUS that doesn't need to manually mess with partition prep, etc.?
Stability is more important than bleeding edge in this case, so any 2.3.x build is fine.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

If you're looking for a sense rom, I'd suggest going with one of the dhd roms (You'll have to use usb flasher to get the partition on), otherwise the simplest would be either:
This -> NexusHD2
This -> Typhoon CM7
or This -> HyperDroid CM7
These three roms need less system space than sense roms, so if you don't mind having a lot of empty space in your system partition, all you need to do is flash the zip using cwr.
My personal recommendation is the Typhoon Rom (2nd rom), it's very stable and up to date. Also, you can use either Titanium Backup/MyBackup apps to backup the phone's current apps.
I would recommend HyperDroidCM7v3.1. It's android 2.3.5 for both cwm and magldr. When I found it I stopped searching, and I am never gonna try anything else! (well, maybe. But you know what I mean hehe )

Yes you are using a Froyo ROM, Gingerbread has several advantages over Froyo, one being a better keyboard. Also there is a lot of apps that do not run on Froyo but do on Gingerbread.
hi if i have androied on my phone htc hd2 can i just down load a new rom and install it?
You need to be reading around in the HD2 Android forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=743
Yes, all you need to do is download and install another ROM. There are instructions for installation in whatever ROM you choose to install. There are a lot to choose from.
whats the best one?

Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Neopolitan, Spumoni?
Really, you can't ask that kind of question around here and expect a serious reply. Try Tytung, that was previously recommended to you. Or Hyperdroid, or AmeriCan Android.
Try any or all of them.
hey sorry im new to this dont know the steps to take like i said its an hdc hd2 and i have android on it im happy whit what i have i just wanted to know if the only thing i have to down load is the new rom and install?

Task29 clears everything meaning there wont be a rom on your phone then you go on from there, magldr 1.13 etc there are guides within the forum that will get you through it like this for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
EDIT: oh and if its an sd build windows is still there, so basically you wont see android until you boot it from your sd
well for naw i see that i will never sell the hd2 ..........he can do everything
best phone on earth !

Cant really recommend roms as what might be best for me might not be for you, so id just read around HERE and see what you might like test a few and if you install them correct you wont have a problem with half of them, some are still in beta so not stable for every day use, look at these 3, these have been up long so most possible the most stable Rom 1 Rom 2 Rom 3 Enjoy...
