[Q] I dont understand how to install androide :/

I have been reading this site everyday in about a month now - and probably every guide and How to:s.. But I still don`t get it..
I have a HTC HD2 (bought in Norway). I have ROM version 3.14 .. and Radio
ver. 2.15.50..
My question is: I cant find any guide that support this OS version and I have tried downgrade it, but I still cant get the same version on my HTC as in the guides.
I have also problem to find an android that suits my phone. I really want to try android, but I dont understand how to.. and what to choose.
I m sorry for my english skills and if I have missed a thread that is explaining my problem.
Can somebody explain how to do this in an easy way for me?
Best regards Lisa

As you have the right radio version all you need to do is download any SD or RAM version of Android

Thank you very much for answering me
I have downlaoded Android Loader v6.0 Final for HD2 and put it in the device memory. (like copy / past - the file is still unpacked)
Should I unpack this file before downloading a SD version of Android?
I have seen many screenshoots of different androids, is it possible to tell me what to choose? I just want one that works, and if possible norwegian language.
Best regards Lisa

If you want to run Windows Mobile and have Android load from within Windows Mobile (so you can reboot back into Window Mobile if needed) then first you want to download an Android Build and extract it to your storage card. *THIS* build is very stable and fast and its the one I used before switching to Android on NAND. Extract the contents of the download file to your pc and then copy the 'Android' folder to the ROOT of your storage card so you will have a folder in the top level of your storage card called 'Android'.
Then run the Android loader v6 app and follow the install instructions. When asked for the folder you want to select \Storage Card\Android (or whatever Storage Card is called in your Roms language.
After you have gone through that you will have a link in your start menu that you can click on to start Android running. It may take a few minutes longer the first time its run but after that its alot quicker. The first time you run Android though you want to shut it down, reboot into Windows Mobile and run the android link again. This is needed to make it work properly.
However if you want to install Android to NAND (internal memory) so that it boots straight into Android and gets rid of Windows Mobile altogether then just click on the guide in my sig and follow the instructions there.

[Q] Trying to go back to Android from WP7 problem

Today, I updated to a new version of Android on my HD2 because I was having problems in the past versions with data connection not working most of the time.
I decided to install WP7 on it in hopes that it would work better and my data connection was perfect. However, I was having problems getting activation to work. I want to go back to Android, but the problem is...
Whenever I turn my phone on it goes into the MAGLDR and runs WP7.
I have Android on an SD card, but I don't know how to get to run Android.
I can get the red/green/blue screen by holding down the volume down button, but I'm not sure if that would help the problem.
I appreciate any help from you guys so much. I hope I haven't messed my phone up.

Did u try holding the power key while magldr is loading? If u want to flash another Android rom then go to option 4 then press the green key (use volume keys to choose option)..else choose Android sd option to boot directly from sd card..(don't think u can do that wid da same sd.)

Ok, so If I have Android on another SD card, I can use that and boot it. I have Android on the current SD card and when I go to that option it says something like "sd kernal failed."

You have to use modified roofs image to boot from SD card search under Android SD development.

What exactly is a modified roofs image?
Would anyone be able to help me in a step by step process? I'd appreciate it greatly!
I'm kinda stuck with a phone with WP7 on it and all I can really use it for is calls/text/internet browsing. I would really like to go back to Android and use those apps.

Hey,
I wrote a little tutorial to get MDJ 4.6 HD to boot from sd via magldr. The edited rootfs.img is attached there too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10702019&postcount=93
Or go to the first page of the same thread, there are more sd builds that people got to boot with magldr (but most of them do not have the edited rootfs.img file attached)

Thanks so much

Jesus Christ, I've been explaining on this issue more than 5 times in two days.
THIS ANDROID BETA ARE CURRENTLY RUN THROUGH HARET.EXE, THERE IS NO OTHER METHOD TO BOOT INTO ANDROID DIRECTLY AFTER YOU REBOOT YOUR DEVICE.
THE ONLY METHOD IS USING NAND ROM, WHICH I THINK IT'S STILL NOT IN DEVELOPMENT YET BY DEVELOPER TEAM FOR OUR OMNIA 2.

Hey..sorry la...don't like that..we are all singaporeans

oops.. this isnt what you need... sorry for that. I dont understand correctly when i read your post first time.
hi, there aro one method, very simple, no nand installation required. All you need to do is place shortcut to haret into \Windows\Start Up\ driectory. With this method haret will be launched after windows.

It can be done by putting haret path in INIT section in registry.. it starts haret yet during boot process

And what could be done if there is a need to boot to WinMo?
Gen.Y DualBoot works fine and can be set to autoboot Android, leaving you possibility to start Windows.

Gen.Y DualBoot does exactly what Pingerek said. It runs haret as first app (via registry entry).

you should try looking in SD DEVELOPMENT lol,but to be honest,why would u want to install it on ur sd card when u can have nand lol,if u have it on your sd card,everytime you reboot your phone,it'll go back to windows mobile,stay well away from sd card,none of that **** copying intrid & zimage to the root of your sd card lol and haret to sort the sound out,go with nand,you won't regret it

I agree with Ty5982. Nand builds are much faster booting and reliable compare to SD. Any reason why you want SD build?

Agreed with other two posters, NAND is much better. As for your issue, I think it may be radio related, upgrade to HTCs latest official stock ROM 3.14

There's nothing wrong with SD builds. They're great for trying out Android without voiding your warranty, or to be able to dual boot Windows Mobile and Android, or to multi-boot NAND Android and different SD builds thru MAGLDR.
Just follow the instructions in the thread where you downloaded the build from, and all should be well.
Don't rename the folder that all the files such as HaRET and CLRCAD are in.
Go into that folder, open the startup.txt file in a text editing program, and check to see if it has a line that says Rel_path=
After Rel_path= it should say the name of the folder all your Android files reside in. If it's a different name than the folder name, re-name the folder to match the rel_path line, so if it says Rel_path=Droid69, then rename the folder to Droid69, and not droid69 as it is upper/lower case sensitive.
If you still can't get that build to run, try another I guess.

Dude, if you're worried about warranty you are on the wrong site
Also, even if it does void your warranty, Its easy to get your device back to stock. Its not as if you need to open your device and rip the warranty stickers to get Android on nand lol.

No, I'm clearly not worried about my warranty, I was simply pointing out that that is one of the advantages of SD builds. Some people are worried about their warranties, or afraid they might brick their phone flashing a nand rom, and the sd builds are a safe alternative for risk averse or less experienced members.
I didn't say sd builds are the only or best way to go, I just said theres nothing wrong with them. Additionally, I don't think this is the wrong site for those who are worried about their warranties, there's still a wealth of information on this site for those who don't want to void their warranties.

Which Radio do you have? I had similiar problems to you but changing radio resolved them all, the first boot of any SD build should not take more than 20min, more means you're stuck. But again, NAND Roms are totally better then SD - faster, more stable, better battery usage etc. And Android wins with WinMo 6.5 in every challange so I would consider flashing a NAND ROM if I were you. Hyperdroid for the very beginning - definitely the best ROM available.

HELP ME!
Okay I don't know if I'm posting on the right thread or not but I need help. I want to install the IceCreamSandwich/jellyBean rom on my HD2 SD card as well, its my only option since my usb port is broken. I already had gingerbread installed but I want to upgrade. I formatted my SD card (don't ask me why) by mistake. So whenever I cut my phone on it goes to the bootloader menu and somehow I navigate myself back to gingerbread. I'm a "noob" so I have little to no idea what I'm doing. Is installing this after all I've done even still possible? I need help please and thank you!

Operating Systems

Is there any chance to have in the hd2 multi-os?
What i mean is simple. Thre are some times when i want to operate the android and other times that i eant to operate the windows. In the booting screen a question of which os i desire each time.
Is this posible to be done? I don't know a lot about developing that's why i am proposing this idea

check the link below it might give you an idea.

Yes, it's possible.
Simply, upgrade your radio to 2.15 (from the sig of this guy^). To be able to boot into android, afterwards, go to the SD Android section and download any rom you want, extract the files of the .zip and put the extracted folder AS IS on the ROOT of your sd card.
Finally, you can manually boot into Android by running clrcad.exe (FIRST) and then (haret.exe) . Or you can use any of the bootloaders available for dualbooting with WinMo.
