This is the developement section, for questions (and answers ) there´s the Q&A forum.

I met your problem before. Finally i tried to flash ANDROID_BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_Desire HD A2SD V23 then success.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16270840&postcount=3
Now I can flash anything what I want.....

Also you're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it. Some more info may help people help you with your problem.
Since you are new take a moment to read the Forum & Marketplace Rules. Don't worry too much about posting in the wrong section (as long as you post in the correct sections next time)...a mod will move it to the correct section soon.

Didn´t mean to be rude
So now let´s hear, what setup you have, what you wanted to install and how you did it, i am sure we´ll find out where the problem lies.
I think you haven´t partitioned the NAND correctly, let us see a link to the build you are using as well.

What about your Radio ROM?
Did you partitioned your SD card corretcly?
What about your partition layout?

Simple sequence
1. Install HardSPL 2.08
2. Install Radio 2.15.50.14
3. Install MAGLDR 1.13 bootloader
4. Install MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery
5. Install your preferred ROM

Then you obviously havent even read teh roms instructions properly because all the roms that need a partition specifically tell you to partition your nand and what partition to use.
Also if you are having issue installing a rom you should at least tell us which rom you have been trying to install.
And in future try and put a title that makes sense. Putting "help" doesnt describe your topic in any way. Titles need to be descriptive. If you want to say help, say it in your topic.

one quick note, when formatting your card, set the allocation unit size to what is set by the rom builder. forgot to what i set mine, but that can cause a lot of problems.

Installing a Nand over SD

Hi,
I am running a SD rom and want to install a Nand.
How would I do this?
the normal way, , , 2.08.hspl,any radio 2.07.50 or higher (with a .50. in it, higher than 2,07), magldr, cwm of the correct size,then the rom. the fact you have android on sd is completely besides the point.

I have SD as I was advised by "a XDA expert" so make of that what you will.
sorry, that means nothing unless you clarify why having sd would be an issue, ,, do you mean you have an sd rom you want to dual boot alongside a nand? do you mean you want to move the sd rom onto nand? or just simply flash a new rom onto nand and forget about the sd one??
more detail of what you want to do is needed, please.

I should of been more clear.
I am booting from a SD card and now I want to move onto NAND. And I want to flash a new rom and forget about the old one.
I have looked everywhere for videos to move from SD onto NANd but couldn't find any.

Then that is easy, all you need to do is what was previously posted. I would start by visiting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783&highlight=toolkit
Download that program as it will do everything that you need to do to get prepared for a Nand rom. There is a video there of how to use it.
You basically Task 29, then you install MAGLDR 1.13. Once that is done you will install Clockwork recovery (you will need to check that Rom thread you want for the appropriate recovery size).
Once you have your recovery set up you just place your chosen Rom onto the card and flash it from recovery.
And no it doesn't matter what size your card is unless you plan on doing apps2sd.

Furthermore, The link you posted assumes you know how to install it. It is only giving you out the partition size :

Ok I don't normally flame people but you are asking for it my friend. We are simply attempting to help you, I listed the steps required in my post and then Marvlesz highlighted the important items and even posted the following:

He even gave you an explanation of what each value is, but you thank him by clearly not reading the info we provided and then attempting to flame him.
Every rom thread has the necessary partition listed somewhere in the first few posts. If you can't find it searching the thread will usually do it too as there is always someone asking what partition size to use.
Now we were all noobs at one point and we all have to learn the same lesson, use the search tools and ask questions last. If you do ask, pay attention to the info provided as there are a lot of knowledgeable users here who are willing to help. But by you posting like that it will almost guarantee that you get flamed the next time you asked something.
Be respectful and you will get all the help you need, continue to post like this and you will find yourself shunned.

Hang on, who says I "flamed him" I was asking about something I have no idea about. I am one of those people that goes through every flash knowing what I am doing and knowing the full facts.
I paid full attention to what advice was given and appreciate the time and effort given to me. I have no idea what size I have to partition, that's all I asked.
I do not appreciate people thinking just because they have flashed more than others, they are superior in any way.
That guy posted his comment in a way to suggest people who know less than him are stupid.
I am on here to seek advice and knowledge so that I can pass this to many others who are are on here.
According to the ROM you want, the partition size is 445 and the cache size is 5 if you have a TMOUS phone. If its the European model the you need a 150 with a cache size of 5 and you need to partition your sd card with 3 partitions. The easiest way to partition your phone is to use the HD2 tool kit. And if you need to partition your card, then use a program like EASEUS Partition Master. Hope that helps.

1- You did not flame me, you were just disrespectful.
2- You DID NOT PAY FULL ATTENTION TO WHAT ADVICE WAS GIVEN and it seems that you DID NOT APPRECIATE THE TIME AND EFFORT GIVEN TO YOU. (Sorry had to capitalize).
3- I DO NOT THINK I'M BETTER THAN YOU IN ANYWAY NEITHER DID I POST IT IN A WAY TO SUGGEST PEOPLE WHO KNOW LESS THAN ME ARE STUPID, I was only astonished of how you ignored chrisrj28's advice and re-asked your question. You also ignored/still ignoring my post which had the PARTITION SIZE MENTIONED ON IT (which supports my theory that you don't pay full attention or read thoroughly the information given to you).
4-If you really came here to seek advice and knowledge you wouldn't have made disrespectful comments about those who are providing advice neither would you TOTALLY IGNORE the information given to you and simply re-ask your question . Even if you were able to get the information, your way in which you'll pass it to many others would be the same way.

1) Have you considered people on here on different levels? What seems EASY to YOU is NOT easy for OTHERS.
2) There are some really stupid people who BRICK there phone as a result of NOT following instructions.
3) No, you are the best, in fact, you are GOD right?
4) I am TOTAL NOVICE and prefer videos to see what I am doing so you telling me a,b,c with ext 2,3,4 which is bewildering (you might want to look that up)
I guess you are right, you should stick to people who are GOD's not like me.

You need only 2 partitions. At first the big FAT32 Partition and a second partition with EXT3 formatted for your user apps (Size: 512MB-1024MB). Only one rom need a third SWAP partition, all other will ignore it or get problems to find the EXT3 partition.
The easiest way to create your second Ext3 Partition is in clockwork mode recovery, described like here.
But why a rom with graphic glitches (fix for that disable the hardware accelaration) and a camcorder with a 320er resolution. The graphic glitches are very annoying in games, unplayable. If you need a stable and fast gingerbread rom with sense look and features, try this one. You need 160MB system size and 5MB caches size for your clockwork partitions in HD2Toolkit for this rom.
Obvious troll is an obvious troll... Right?
Someone gave me an hd2... It took two threads and maybe 30 minutes to know the process... All of which were given/explained to you.
Check post 2 of the hyperdroid ROM in the Dev section. There is a 13 minute video that did an AMAZING job of showing each step. Maybe visual will help better, it does for me.
I prefer cm7/miui so I went with the 150MB version of cwr.
And no... I'm not better than you, but I read a lot more. I knew NOTHING about this phone.

Well you may have read one thread but that isn't enough. Loads of people ask about this lack of daf.exe in the new ROMs. This is because they are flashed via clockwork mod. The ROMs are not to be unzipped, but transferred straight onto the root of the SD card. See this thread.

Maybe there is link to this guide somwhere in that thread, but those are links you see first there.
Edit: LEO "Stock" NAND Android ROM, this was also confusing, since it is nand and is installed via same old daf exe

New to Android, Need Help to choose version, please!

I own HD2 from almost 3 years, i want to try something new with it, so i decided to put Android on the phone. I want to ask here, first, whats the difference between NAND and SD versions, NAND mean its going on the phone memory like the windows? Whats better/faster? Whats easiest to boot/install? I dont want to read all threads all night long, just want some good android rom, or few good android roms to try ... and some advice to be NAND or SD version ... and also, android 2 or 4? i dont know anything about android ... please help. Any advice will be appreciated!
It depends which is easier. I had a problem with partition SD for 4 partitions But with nand there might be problems for novice too. You have to flash HSPL, and then CLK (better than Magldr I think). But then it is easy. SD is on SD, so you have 2 systems at the same time: stock WM6.5 and android which you start by exe in WM. Nand roms fully replaces stock WM. I don't know which is faster, but I prefer NAND. If you are not going to play heavy games, then choose Android 4 with HWA, if just for phone and apps, then 2. And we cannot tell you which rom (system, one of many as you see ) is the best for you - everyone has to try it himself, my experiences might be different than yours If you want to know more, read tutorials or write here - I or someone else will help you.
PS I recommend you tytung's or dorimanx's rom. Or sense rom if you liked it in WM

come on man, if u find it frustrating to delete 500 posts quit the job man. Atleast dont ridicule the new people.
Anyways, to the person who asked, The NAND version is a bit difficult to install but as it is on internal memory, it is much faster and stable than the SD version. The sd version can be booted up anytime for your stock WinMo 6.5. so u have two Os at any one time. i wud go for NAND but if u are new to this first try SD versions.

He isn't a mod? Plus you're giving incorrect information. The NAND version is NOT difficult to install, if you just READ. Seriously people, this is exactly what I mean. Reading=good, and the internet contains almost anything you could possibly want to know if you look properly. This guide could not be simpler, even for a newbie like I was. I'm 15, and flashed Android on this phone when I was 14 (plus I don't do any computing or IT in school or anything) so as long as you speak English, you can understand this guide with ease.

I couldn't quite understand your first point (three commas doesn't really help me much) as there's a distinction between 'what are forums for but to look at?' and 'what are forums for but to look at people repeating the same old **** constantly'. Both are still wrong, but the first is far more correct. Forums are for sharing information with a wide variety of people. This includes of asking and having your questions answered, but it also includes SEARCHING the forum for your answer. These questions have already been asked and answered a tonne of times. If he searched he could have found the answer. I reckon that theoretically we could fit all of the different non ROM-specific questions which get asked here within just 5 pages at the very most, rather than having the forums span on for ages.

chuckles it wouldnt be pretty if i was a mod lol
HTC + Android = PERFECT MATCH!!
Try starting by READING the guide, it's not that hard to do. Just follow the instruction and READ carefully. Dont skip the sentence if u don't want to Brick your phone.
+1 Vote for NAND Android
Anyway i can't tell what's perfectly right for you. U will have to try it your self.
I tried like 4-5 ROM until i found what's right for me. However if u can do it once, the rest is just a piece of cake.
Like the other guyz said. Nearly all problem that u have, someone had already post the solution for that keep searching if u encounter any trouble.
While you were arguing about my question, and writing long posts, instead of giving your advice ... i installed one NAND rom, Energy one, but i think it installed on the SD ... because it asked me to format 1024mb on the SD card, so it is not really a NAND one i think ... and also, it looks a little bit slow ... freezes from time to time, not so smooth as expected ... and i read many articles, but i just wanted an advice, why to try all roms, when you can tell me 1 - 2- 3 roms that worth the try? This forum is so full with information, that for new people like me its too difficult to see the important threads for our needs, thats why we ask you, the people being long time here, tried more of the roms, and read lall the things, because i dont want to loose mu life in reading here, for thing i can do for 10 min, and then never look back for it ... SO Finally, few people helped me, the rest was arguing ... and who is the smartest of all of you? Instead of writing long posts telling me to read, you can simply write 3 sentences ... I am using this rom, i tried this and this and are also good, NAND means on memory like windows, SD means on card, NAND is faster, read "This" thread it will help you with your problem ... its so simple to help people, do you think i need to read all this forum, to install and use android? and this is forum with live people, not internet book ... so asking is part of forum, so, i am new to android, not to forums and reading ... thats why ... stop telling people to stop asking, be nice, if you dont want to answer, then dont ... if you feel like you want to help, do it ... and you will save you alot of antystress pills! Peace

And if you found all of that information on your own, why did you have to bother creating this thread? Also, you just don't want to read do you? When you said 'format 1024mb on my SD card' you mean creating an SD-EXT partition. Again, if you had read carefully you would realise that this is necessary for Sense 3.5 builds on EU HD2s and you would know that that is a NAND ROM. I was confused about this at first as well, so what did I do? I did some READING and figured it out logically. Finally, if you're experiencing lag and stuff, try a lighter ROM such as a CM7/MIUI/CM9/AOKP ROM, Sense is very bloated and (IMO) too slow compared to CM9. Plus, CM9 has full HWA.
I can recommend NAND:
-Dorimanx 3.1.7 CM7 rom (install 3.1.7 and not 3.1.7.1 - broken script)
-Tytung's roms (there are some)
-TouchWiz roms (stable for me)
-And HWA roms, read about them, I use Nightlies and all right
And most roms, like Sense roms (including Energy) needs EXT partitions for additional data.
And better use cLK bootloader.
Thing is, posts with questions that don't have or hard to answer (can't be searched about) don't get any replies. :screwy:

Yep, that's basically one of the main reasons I dislike it when people post unnecessary threads. Not only does it clutter up the forum but it also shoves other people with genuine problems off the first page, and their questions are unanswered. This most certainly isn't fair in my opinion.
Here you go...

I posted this a while back and was written like it was going to be your very first attempt at putting android on your phone. You can still follow this guide from step one till the end to make sure your doing everything correctly... Hope this helps and if it does hit up that thanks button at sometime.
(Im attaching most of the files you need at the end of the post. You'll have to find the radio, step 2, yourself because i cant compress it enough to fit under the 8mb attachment limit on xda. This is just in case you dont have them already or your not using the HD2 Toolkit)
THESE STEPS ARE TO BE DONE AFTER THE OP INITIAL PREREQUISITES i.e. windows mobile device center, activesync, proper spl version...
FOR NAND
--------the following steps (1 - 3) are to be preformed while at the tri-color boot screen (easiest way to reach is to turn off your phone while its connected to your PC then immediately hold volume down button till you see it n wait for it to say usb in the white section).
(by the way your device will ALWAYS automatically restart itself after a couple seconds if it is shut down while plugged in via USB to either a wall/car charger or hooked up to a PC this is normal)
1. install hspl3/hspl4
-run the "HSPL3_PKG/HSPL4_PKG" file. should be the only one in there
-make sure you select 2.08.HSPL in the setup and go thru the wizard just like you would any other. It will only take a few moments to execute and once it finishes it will auto reboot your device. MAKE SURE AS SOON AS YOUR DEVICE TURNS OFF YOU HOLD DOWN ON THE VOLUME KEY IMMEDIATELY TO GET BACK TO THE TRI COLOR BOOT SCREEN.
2. install radio
-run the "customRUU" file with the HD2 icon in the radio of your choosing
-it will operate in a similar fashion as the HSPL3/4, automatically turning off device upon completion... make sure you hold down on the vol key again to get yourself back to the tri color boot screen.
3. install magldr113
-make sure your selecting "rom update utility" in the magldr113 file. dont run the "DAF" it wont work properly if you do and youll get errors
-BUT THIS TIME AS IT TURNS ITSELF OFF HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON ON YOUR DEVICE AS IT BOOTS UP UNTIL U GET TO MAGLDR AND CONTINUE TO HOLD IT DOWN UNTIL YOU SEE ABOUT 12 DIFFERENT OPTIONS...
[B4. install CWM recovery [/B]
-go to option 5 "USB Flasher" and hit the green call key. wait a few moments till it shows USB....USB make sure the second usb pops up and your PC recognizes the connection. then when it does sync you get to......
-while still in the usb flasher mode above, simply run you desired CWM recovery which should the one your developer recommends for the builds as the requirements tend to vary from rom to rom.
-this is achieved by selecting the "DAF" file from the clockworkmod recovery your using
-and again this installer will shut off your device upon completion and HOLD DOWN THE POWER KEY LIKE ABOVE TILL YOUR BACK AT THE MAGLDR MAIN MENU (with options 1-12).
5. install rom
-go to option 8 "AD Recovery" and hit the green call button to enter into the CWM recovery u just installed
-after it loads up (GO!GO!GO!) go down to the "mounts and storage" option that is third from the bottom and hit the call key.
-once there go to the last option "mount USB storage" and hit the call key.
-give your PC a few moments to recognize the sd card for your device and choose to open it when your PC prompts with the regular file explorer or just find it and double click on the newly recognized drive (sdcard) if your PC doesnt auto prompt you.
-the new drive (sdcard) should be empty (depending...) then just find the desired rom you chose to use, right click on it and copy.....then over to the new drive (sdcard) and paste. might take a min or two depending on the roms size
-once the copying is complete hit the call button to "unmount" your sdcard then the back button on your device till your back at the CWM main screen
-go to the fifth option down and "install zip from sdcard" and hit the call button
-select the second option "choose zip from sdcard" and select the zip file you just copied to your sdcard. then it will begin to install the rom and all rom install times vary by build. some take a minute, some seem like they take forever.
-once installation is complete hit the back button till your back at CWM main screen and choose the last option which is to "power off"
-then tap the power button(if u unplugged it from usb otherwise it wil reboot by itself) to turn on your device and give it some time for the initial boot and load as it has to set up everything u just installed. subsequent boot wont take as long but again it can all vary from rom to rom.
-after initial load and a successful bootup you should arrive at ether the lockscreen or a startup screen. give the rom a few more mins to settle and dont hit any buttons. then unlock the device or skip through the startup options and get to the home screen. maybe give it another min to settle the launcher and the last bit of data and resist the urge to mess with the features. your gonna hate this but hold down the power button and select power off device from the popup men. i know it sucks but it is best practice when flashing roms and the like. after device shuts off wait a few seconds and turn it back on and let it reboot. should be faster this time and when u get to your lockscreen simply give it a few seconds to settle again, unlock and go to main launcher a wait a couple more seconds for it to finish settling and.....have fun!
Maybe its not so abridged but oh well tried my best to be as clear as possible so people can utilize their HD2 to its fullest potential.
HOPE THIS HELPS and lemme know if i need to edit any information.
Oh yeah and as for ROM selections give these a try:
CM7/gingerbread - Typhoon by Tyween, Dorimanx High End Rom by Dorimanx
Sense 3.x/gingerbread - Team blue Droid by Dansta, Sensation XL stock by carl 1961
CM9/ics - Unofficial AOKP for HD2 by Xylograph, Nexus HD2 ICS by Tytung
There are lots more to choose from, these are just some of the more notable ones that ive used.
DON'T post guides that are incorrect. @OP if you want a proper guide, followthis one. It's actually correct unlike the one posted above.

Well, I did ask (nicely) for corrections. So what part of this is wrong? I use this same procedure for every rom i flash, well plus/minus a few steps. Pretty sure this works as this has helped other people in the past. While Mskip's guide is very useful, to a beginner it can seem lil overwheling with all of the information he provides. Mine was supposed to be a quick run-thru of the steps.
So please inform me, with all that 15 yr old experience, what is not correct...

Not correct, HSPL is needed first. You only mentioned 'the OP prerequisites e.g. correct SPL version'. SPL isn't the same as HSPL, and the OP often doesn't contain info like this. Devs don't write guides on how to flash in all their ROMs, plus if this is a newbie guide you should mention this as step 1.
As well as this, Task29 is 100% useless in this case. When you unnecessarily suggest Task29s, people get into the habit of doing them every time they flash. This repeated writing of the NAND can eventually lead to bad blocks.

There have been many reports of file corruption when using this method to copy over a ROM. Also, why should the new drive be empty? This would imply you would have to delete the contents of your SD card in order to flash a ROM, which you don't.
Also, no mention of partitioning the SD card. You've listed Sense 3.x ROMs as recommended, yet you need an SD card partition to run these. A newbie would not know this of course and would probably end up creating a new thread about 'why isn't my ROM working?? '.
This guide, whilst you're obviously trying to do a good thing by helping people, would just confuse a newbie, not help them. By following it to the letter you'd probably incorrectly/unsuccessfully flash Android.
- I'm using IceCreamTosti v1.1a [AOKP B36][HWA][4.0.4][marc1706s_ics_0.1.1] by Xylograph.
anyway. all the great rom is the most viewed one i think.
but to define which ROM is the BEST is very difficult because TASTE is different hehehe.
Awww snap!, where do i start...

First off, I did say that i posted this elsewhere, soooo the OP that was referenced wasnt this threads OP or a devs OP, it posted in a different thread where the OP had a huge long guide that again had a lot of information to sort thru and mine was an attempt to streamline that process.
The spl version i spoke of was in reference to...
IMPORTANT: To install/uninstall this HSPL3 there must be any SPL version from this list on your device:
SPL 1.42.0000, SPL 1.62.0000, SPL 1.66.0000, SPL 2.07.0000, SPL 2.08.0000, SPL 2.10.0000, SPL 3.03.000 - courtesy of mskips guide
I thought a task29 would be good in this case because this OP in this thread said he had tried an sd card version or something or whatever he had done and it wasnt working very well so why not get everything off there he may have done. Also your task 29 causing bad blocks might be true, but its no different from flashing roms that write to nand or installing a bunch of apps n such. If i am not mistaken they all write to nand anyway as well, so by your logic you better be careful installing roms... might lead to bad blocks! OH NO!
If this is one of the first times you flash android to nand you probably dont have much or anything at all on your sdcard. Like i said I POSTED THIS ELSEWHERE for a quick step by step for a beginners. Ive been installing roms this way for a couple years on this device and have never had any problems with file corruption... only spoiled know it all little kids.
The CWM file i included has a 180 system layout which will work with most CM7 & CM9. I figured if it came to it and he need another version he could just edit the cfg file or find the correct one as a good number of devs will just include this in their OPs.
And yes step 3 is a little redundant because you have already (obviously) had to do this. I included it because i found that some people were just choosing the first option to install 2.08 and not 2.08hspl in the HSPL3/4 wizard. The redundancy was to make sure people are clicking the right option. I even did this once a year or so back and didnt catch my mistake right away.
And as for partitioning the sdcard for sense 3.x roms I was pretty sure that Dansta34 and Carl 1961 roms dont require this anymore as they trimmed down the roms and im pretty sure it isnt required for tmoUSA devices because of the increase in internal memory while the EU version did or does because it has half the space. Not sure on this because the last time i was running a sense3.x rom was last fall so there is a chance i was mistaken. Plus if you do need to create a ext3/4 partition im pretty sure its stated in the roms OP.
Next time you flash a rom go ahead and follow the above steps and i bet you it works.
And you started the patronizing by the way you have chosen to respond to sadmind's posts... thats that whole pot calling the kettle black thing...
So quit trolling threads and further clogging them up with your know it all nonsense... a sign of your immaturity. Instead of helping the guy with a post or two YOU clog threads up by being unhelpful and repeating the "its posted elsewhere so look for it" line. Its a quick way to get over a thousand posts thats for sure! And why waste your time posting in this thread anyway if you not gonna help. Just ignore the question and move on already. Damn kids!

thax for your suport. am waiting ur guide...
Just see this guide. It's very easy to understand, even if English is not your native language. This is a simple overview:
1. Flash MAGLDR 1.13 in bootloader
2. Flash CWM with the correct partition size for your selected ROM:
3. Partition your SD card for use with A2SD within CWM
4. Flash your desired ROM as a .zip from CWM.
Use HD2 TOOLKIT
You just need to use the HD2 TOOLKIT, which gives you all the necessary tools to make a fresh install
dear respected members, still am not getting where to start, where to download, am very confuse. i was searching on this forum and i found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620&page=1 and this exact android version is installed on my htc hd2 mobile. all screen shot of this link is exact on my mobile..
please tell me what to do , where to start , where to download software, which version is better for me, should i have to format everything on my mobile or what. please please guide me...
i just wanted to increase my internal memory, so that i can install lots of apps on my mobile. so please help me to select latest version of android and guide me step by step procedure.
should i have to install HARDSPL 2.08 again ? should i have to install RADIO again? should i have to install MAGLDR V1.13 again ? there is no CLOCKWORK option on my mobile so what i have to do ? there is no SD card partition option on my mobile. so what i have to do ? which android version i have to select and where to download?? etc etc i have lots of qus. so please guide me step by step.
thanks
please guide me...

This is pathetic, you're just not trying here. You want everyone else to do it for you. The guide I linked explains everything fully and even provides CWM downloads. Since you've already got the DFT ROM on it, surely you can figure out that you already have HSPL 2.08 and a viable radio? And if the guide says to flash MAGLDR 1.13 then why not just do it? There's no point helping you if you aren't going to put any effort in at the same time.
First,u will have to install HSPL 2.08
You will download the hspl 2.08 and u will install it by pressing power and the volume down and keeping it pressed.
2nd,u have to download and install 2.15.50.14 radio in the same way u installed HSPL.
3rd,u will download and install magldr 1.13 agin in th same way..
Now,you are ready to install any NAND Android rom. This means u will have no longer windows 6.5 installed on your phone..it' gonna be "blank"..
Then,you will find a partition system..(250M would be fine, it's a zip file) and run Magldr menu in USB FLASHER mode..that means u wil have ur phone connected to the usb port.. (you open the magldr menu by holding pressed the power button)
U will unzip the 250M an run the DAF.exe file..the partition is going to begin itself..
After that, u will go to magldr menu in the magldr menu and u will run 8. AD RECOVERY..u will go to mount and storage menu/mount and will get the rom u want to install in the sd card..then u will press back and u will find and run the install from sd card menu..the rom installation is about to begin..and if everythin is done correctly,the android rom is about to launch..
If any questions,don't hesitate to ask..good luck with your new android rom.

I have the same issue, as even with no apps installed to internal memory I supposedly have used up 90% of my internal storage and only have about 20MB left. I think all of the apps install something to the internal memory by default, because when I went through manually checking some of the larger apps I found that there were some things which still had the .apks or the libs files on the internal storage. Once I moved all of them, I had freed up about 40MB of space (i.e. total 60MB free), but somehow that gradually disappeared.
can any body suggest me any solution please ?
still waiting solution for expert members...

[Q] Frustrated NOOB needs a little help installing rom

After several days struggle, I'm burned out. Some of the threads here have 100+ pages, and searches yield too much outdated, irrelevant info. So, I'm asking for some direction (as simple as possible, please).
I'm trying to set up my unlocked HD2 (originally T-Mo, but unlocked and using AT&T) for dual-boot, WM6.5 and Android. As you know, the choices for android rom are mind-boggling. I don't need anything fancy, just something up-to-date and stable. I would like, however, something LOUD.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Using despy1989's March 2010 guide (four years old already!), I have my HD2 booting up asking to choose Android or WM. If I choose Android, it does nothing, and defaults to WM.
I have SUNDAWG-CM7-NATIVESD rom loaded (or I think I do) in the android directory of the SD card. I'm not sure this one will meet my LOUD requirement, but since it won't load, I can't tell.
If I tap the new Android icon, it does nothing. If I tap the Android SoftReset icon, it resets but does not load Android, goes to WinMo.
If I go to File Explorer, and run haret, I get the message "failed to load file \storagecard\android\sdcard\nativesd\zimage"
What do I do next?
ANY help is much appreciated.
How did you installed Android as NativeSD? Did you made a partition on your SD in EXT4 which is needed for installing the Rom? Why you want keep WM 6.5 anyway?

AFAIK, yes it is installed as NativeSD, Did not make a partition (there was conflicting advice as to whether it was necessary. I'm not ready to go "all in" and reformat my old SD card yet.)
Want to keep WM6.5 since it is the only one that works the way I need. I've been playing with a Sony X10a with Android 1.6 and am frustrated. I specifically need LOUDNESS and customizable ringtones and notifications, and relatively easy syncing with my PC.
Thanks for your reply and any further advice.
If you do not make a partition EXT4 it will never be installed so you just messing around that is why is not working. From WM6.5 can be run only SD Android version or there is another way, much longer but it's the way how it have to be.
Install MAGLRD and Recovery, probably this will wipe the phone, make the partition on SD to Install NativeSD, Install the Rom as Native SD. Then flash back the Stock WM6.5, this will wipe MAGLRD and Recovery. Now start again Android from the folder created from the installation. It should boot.
Reply to your suggestion

Sorry. As a NOOB, what you've suggested is Greek to me and far too complicated. I can't risking wiping the phone and bricking it.

I did this 100 times and HD2 is not that easy to brick, I never heard about bricked HD2 before. Then if you don't want to do it you will never have NativeSD on your phone because the NativeSD have to be installed on EXT4 partition, there is no other way. The only Android which you can use is from this section HERE. Put it on SD with other stuff and run with the application from WM6.5. First boot is very long.

No, wipe (task29) won't even touch SPL parts.
So, unless you're super duper unlucky using wipe command, you won't bricking your device.
I don't know if you're already flash HSPL.
I suggest you to flash HSPL first, then the rest is up to you..

If you really can't do this I can assist you via Team Viewer, I will tell you what to do and what to download. Before that I have to see your bootloader. Send me a PM to arrange an appointament. I don't know nobody in USA at the moment or I don't know they are.

Been trying to follow your steps, but when I get to "Native SD Install Recovery", the links are broken. (this is the very kind of frustrations I'm having - there does not appear to be one single step-by-step guide without numerous links to invalid or outdated sites. I don't need advertising either.)
I can't find the 4EXT partition (in W8.1) in order to install anything.
So, now what?
