Go here and read instructions. If you cant follow them it means you haven't read any of the guides in stickies.
PS.
You dont have to manually put a "Q" or put the date in your topic title.

The "best" way to learn bud is to do some real reading. I know it can be a bit daunting at first but honestly its the best way. Been walked through something is too easy and you wont pick up valuable information as much as you would if you worked it our yourself.
There is some really good guides to follow, have a look through them and have a go.

Struggling while installing Android 2.3 Gingerbread on HTC HD2 (NAND)
Thanks guys for your prompt replies. This my situation: I installed Android 2.2 on my HTC HD2 with
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2
Radio_15.42.50.11U
2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
HSPL 2.08
MAGLDR V1.13
Android 2.2
Everything works great. Recently, I wanted to upgrade to Android 2.3 Gingerbread so to I upgraded successfully the MAGLDR1.11 to MAGLDR1.13.
Now, I spent a longtime reading your replies to the other users and it seems my case is a bit special, therefore I have 2 questions:
1- The MAGLDR113_DAF file I downloaded contains the ROMUpdateUtility (that you advise users to use) and also has a DAF file. I can see clearly at system start up that my MAGLDR is 1.13. So, does this mean am good? or do I still need to open the DAF through the tri colour screen bootloader, as some have suggested? Please help clarify my confusion.
2- I downloaded Android 2.3 Gingerbread on HTC HD2 (NAND) and extracted it to my 8GB SD card root, when I open the Android folder on my HD2 and tap on CLRCAD.exe, I get "file type exe not found" message, I tried with haret.exe as well but I always get the same message. Could anyone advise what I am doing wrong?
By the way, I used first a 2GB SD card, after being formatted, in vain then formatted a 8GB SD card, copy, paste Android folder on root, in vain. always same message.
Thank you very much guys and once again, I really appreciate your time and patience with us.

well if you're going for NAND you should not been able to toutch the CLRCAD.exe/Haret.exe wich probably means that you've downloaded a SD build.
you should go to the NAND section of this forum and find a rom there.
the instructions for installing a NAND rom are in de first few post by the dev himself.
goodluck

Depends on which ROM you are planning to flash.

He doesnt want to "flash" any rom, he specifically said he wants to dual boot and only way to dual boot WM6.5 at the moment is to boot Android via SD card.

I don't think you need HSPL to launch Android from an SD.
BUT you need HSPL to flash the radio to the versions compatible with Android.

Do a search!

Guys, no need to be mean...
@asterixhashir
If you want official WinMo ROM you can download it directly from HTC website, Radio is included.
The Android version you are looking for it is called NexusHD2 v2.7. It is very stable and compiled from source of Nexus One.

I'm ok to explain smth to a man who just don't understand how things work. He should try first.
BTW see the name of the thread. He didn't bother reading any rooles.

If website say that it not a ROM for your telephone then you are doing something wrong.
Make sure you select the right phone from list in htc website or that you enter the right code number.
You can not have both installed in NAND. You can find NexusHD2 if you just search. If you want to have both install WinMo and find an SD Android version to put in your SDcard.
It is not easy for us to explain you in 1 post what we have learned by reading countless times the threads here.
If you can't find any solution by yourself then try finding some friend of yours who understand better and help you.
Else you can always find someone to pay to fix your device.

Without wishing to appear rude it is a tad difficult to understand you.
Ii believe you are unable to download the correct official rom for your device. this is sometimes the case that your serial number is not accepted by htc as they offer different roms for different carriers.
try getting YOUR official rom off of this thread. good luck.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577717

There are no tmous roms on HTC site at all. Only on T-Mobile.com, and it will ask for your IMEI not serial.

yeah i have flashed from tmobile site bt it is not that much smooth

that is why this site offers custom roms.

Am I the only one who thinks this dude is a troll?

i dont no more abt this phone bcz i m using for 3 to 4 months ok and i m not always bzy in these kinds of things ..tel me where can i find the official rom not the custom one ok and tell m eabt the best andriod sd rom for hd2

asterixhashir < you can flash back to the original rom that was intended for your hd2.
don't mess around with android roms if you don't know how to do your own homework.
download the the original rom for your t-mobile hd2 and open the exe file with winrar - extract the file "RUU_signed.nbh" and rename it "leoimg.nbh" - copy this file to the root of your sd card - restart your phone while holding on to the volume down button - then follow the steps and your back home with windows mobile. - then you can sell your hd2 and buy a android phone.

HTC HD2 - Changing to Android. Pls Help

Hi,
I have just purchased a new HTC HD2 on T-Mobile (U.K.) and I am loving it !
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 do something which may jeopardise the phone (I do know that it does affect the warranty) The only thing I know about 'Flash' it flashing my mobile in public.
I would really like if someone can give me Step by Step instructions via a video so I can see what I am doing.
Any feedback would be really appreciated.
Many thanks

Don't rush anything. Make sure you have a good idea about what you're doing and what you can do if things go wrong. If you're unsure about anything just use the search feature first and if you're still iffy about something, ask a question.

I think you are making this harder than it needs to be. Just follow the instructions given to you in your previously started thread about the same thing. The link to MSkip gives you detailed instructions on how to install Android on your HD2 and how to revert back to WM6.5 if you so desire.

Thanks for the reply. What is the latest version of Android for HTC HD2? The link you gave me, is that the latest version?

Google is your friend. Haven't used it in a while. If you are that unsure of flashing Android to your HD2 just buy an Android powered phone. Sorry to be so brash but just follow the instructions.

Still lost

DoctorGore said:
I'll try to explain a bit. First off you've got to install the things that let you install Android in the first place (HSPL, MAGLDR, CWM etc) and after that you install a ROM. A ROM is the thing that will decide what version of Android you phone will have. If you don't like the ROM you have, or if you just want the newest version of Android, all you have to do is change it. You don't have to re-install everything again, just your ROM.
You might have to change your CWM partition size when you choose a new ROM, but the chef (person who made the ROM) will let you know what size you need in the thread. This is also easy and doesn't require you to re-install everything. Don't worry if you don't know what a CWM partition is because it'll make sense eventually.

Unable to boot Android using haret on HTC Leo

Hi
Using HTC Leo with Windows 6.5 from US T mobile.
Was able to boot to Android twice using Haret.exe. Booting into Android had pattern lock (which was never set previously) or google account (no one used Android on the device). Removed the battery and booted into Windows 6.5, not sure of the Android version copied on the device.
Am now unable to boot into Android again, it stops at jumping to kernel... need to remove battery to boot into Windows.
Am a novice and need your detailed expert assistance.
Appreciate your guidance.
Rgds..
Zac

Hi Zac, welcome to the forum.
Did you buy the device with an android build on the sdcard? Else how do you not know which android rom is on it?
What is the folder name which has haret.exe in it and what other files are in that folder?

My cousin used it in USA and gave it when visiting. He never made any changes on the device - did not even know Android folder existed. I was browsing through the CD card contents and found it.
It is on my Storage card under Android folder- has CLRCAD and HARET exe files.
Thanks

i would forget about using that android folder and either choose another one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/sd-dev
or choose to install a rom using NativeSD method, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986437
or perhaps get rid of wm6.5 altogether and install android or wp7
best of luck

a working link to which particular rom?
we have an unwritten rule that says do not ask "what is the best rom" since that is a personal choice. So i won't just give you a link to my fav(s)
some links are old and not working, if i have the rom on my hdd i can usually upload a mirror for it, or someone else might if requested to in the thread, unless the OP (original poster/post) of the rom thread specifically states "no mirrors". It is usually worth searching the thread for "mirror" and reading the last few pages, as someone may well have already posted a mirror.
