Hi , I have HD2 and I want to install android OS on it. I found a lot of solutions on this website like booting from SD Card and NAND solutions, but I have one question. Is there any NOR version installation and in general which is better NOR or NAND ? Sorry for this maybe general question but I need help and I would also wanted to consult with you . Thanks , every help is appreciated.
Hi there mate.!
Never heard anything about the NOR version that you are talking sorry
There are 2 ways to install Android OS in your device and they are posted in sub-forums in here and i think you have already saw them
The SD version is if you don't want to leave wm6.5 but wanna give Android a try!
(thats the easiest way to install it)
And the NAND version if you have decided that you want Android OS in your mobile and ofc Android will have much better performance in NAND than SD
PS: my opinion is if you don't want mw6.5 anymore go read some posts and install the NAND version cause you will have much much more performance
I hope i helped
there are no nor versions, you on about running a version in ram ?
Hi and thanks for a quick reply and more than helpful answers. I need to ask you several more things. Since I want to install NAND version, because of the performance, I need the latest version . I saw several instructions for 2.2 and 2.3 android. Can you give me the link to the 2.3 newest installation link. Also is there any known issue after installation (like no wireless network, or some applications doesn't work...)
best off looking in the dev section, depends on whether you want a sense rom or not

As Richy said there are sooo many roms for you to try
The 2.3.5 rom for me is the most stable if you want your phone to work 100% 24/7 with no battery consume!
Now its up to you if you want Sense 2.2 or 3 if you want MIUI or Gingerbeard or or or or or
For me it goes like this :
1:Go to NAND sub-forum
2: Find a good and updated Rom for your mobile (at the front of each title its the release day) enter it and read the full description the dev gives you and to all the steps!!!!
3: for correct use of your wifi,gps,etc.....find a good kernel (Most devs gives you a kernel of their choise with their ROM)
Thats all you need to know...all you have to do is read the hole post carefully
And just an opoinion..if you want a fast and stable (not a fancy one) ROM go for a MIUI and a good one is this Mwakious
and this is Kefir's Kernel
Good luck and if you need anythink PM me
PS: if you think i helped you hit the THANKS button

When the T-Mobile version is mentioned, it is purely indicating that it is a TMOUS HD2 with 1024 MB ROM and the T-Mobile logo on the top. The carrier doesn't matter

Are you sure that carrier doesn't matter , US has different frequencies , and this is T-mobile US (TMOUS). If the carrier doesn't matter ,can I then install in switzerland on orange HD2 according to the procedure for T-Mobile new gignerbread ?
If not can someone give me some links for my HD2 please. I searched NAND 2.3 android but some of the topics are from 2010 and some of them after installation have various types of problems.
Thanks !
Hi there, I was exactly where you were 3 weeks ago. I picked up a second HD2 as my WM HD2 phone is heavily loaded with apps and files etc. and I did not want to risk stuffing it. I played with a couple of versions with HTC Sense but then tried TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 and found it smaller, faster and more stable + much slicker than WM.
After just 3 days and a few new apps like Swype and Wi-Fi tethering, I cut over to droid forever. Next I will do my original HD2 to make it a mirror backup.

As long as you have a TMOUS phone, you can install the T-Mobile US version. As for the Android ROM, have you even looked in the NAND Development forums? There are tonnes of ROMs, none of them even remotely old, which work perfectly. Take Typhoon CM7 or Hyperdroid, for example.

Hey. I have some questions..
Im new in all of this an so pls forgive me if i ask something stupid
// I have an HD2 with 512MB Flash Memory / 576MB RAM
Im looking for an Android OS which runs stable, with good performance and if possible enough apps .. the battery life is not interesting for me.
So i hope, theres something out that fits my wishes
it would be nice if you could also link me the thread (or a video) where is exactly explained how to install the new os ( and of course a link where i can download the rom, if its not in the thread where it is explained how )
thank you
Here's a guide to installing Android on your HD2...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
Other than that, just take your time and have a look through the NAND ROM section. Just open some that sound interesting to you from the titles and read the 1st post to see if it's what you want (Froyo or Gingerbread? Sense or no Sense?).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928
I've not seen a ROM thread yet where the dev doesn't list what's working and what's not working, so you should be able to weigh it up yourself.
I only suggest you do this because there's no way I can tell you a good ROM. It's all subjective, and you're better knowing what options you have anyway, rather than me just giving you a link to the one I use and saying it's the best there is!
Good luck mate. If you get stuck on anything, read, read, read. If you really can't find help then you've found a very rare situation, so go ahead and ask.
Have fun
Thank you, that will help me for sure, but i have an other question.
What means "Sense or no Sense" ?
Do you know the HTC interface, HTC Sense? It's on the HD2 running WM by default, but also on Android HTC devices such as the Desire, Desire HD and Desire Z (to name but a few).
If you've never seen it it's worth a look. I personally don't use it as I prefer something more configurable, but a lot of people really rate it.
Here's a link to the Desire running Sense...

Hello,
I use a clean Android 2.3.2 and it works like a charm. 720p recording does not work, but it should be fixed in future. You can contact me via MSN or ICQ.. In german
Or you go to www.mobiletopia.de and you can read my Tutorial for flashing Android (http://mobiletopia.de/viewtopic.php?f=371&t=8275) if it is easier in german.
Im not exactly sure what it is, but i think that i like it.. so thank you very much .. I will give a try to the threads you posted above.
You're welcome mate. Good luck
You may also want to try one of the NAND builds, they replace Windows Mobile on your phone. I set up NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9b NAND for my girlfriend and she's reported no problems. It's been a few weeks now.
It runs very fast and stable.
Before you can install a NAND ROM, you will first need to install the MAGLDR. But it's all quite easy.

It's Android for the NAND of you HD2. That means that it will be installed in you phone memory.
An other option ist to install Android on your SD card and Windows Mobile is still on your device and you have to start Android from within Windows Mobile.
I think NAND is the better option, after you startet Android the first time you will never change back
P.S. i used a clean Android from the NAND-section fro Leo and it just works.

1. See noob guide on Flashing NAND Android rom (link in my signature)
2. You can't back it up, but there are lots of places where you can download the rom. check out the WM6.5 development thread to see if you can get a download link.
3. To me NAND is far more smooth in operation than running off of sd card. Running of sd card I guess gives the flexibility of having 2 os's that you can switch between if for some obscure reason you would want to do that (ie dual boot)
4. Just flash the stock wm rom back
5. No, it won't lock the device again. (AFAIK - 99.9% sure )
My current favourite rom is also linked in my signature.

ClydeB1's answers are all true...I'd lyk 2 add something to answer number "2"
U can't completely back up ur WinMo rom...u can re-download and install though...Hweva u can backup n transfer data lyk sms, contacts, call logs etc from WinMo to Android using Sprite Migrate which can be found here.
Could you please quide me ?

Hello guys,
I'm planning to buy HTC HD2 Mobile from my friend, it comes with Windows 6.5. I will buy it only if I can Install install Android in it. I know it can be installed with Android (I have seen some Youtube videos).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL46dixEuK0
I'm very much interested to install
MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 (CM7) for HTC HD2
So where do I get this MOD to download (The latest version) ?
Please also provide the Install Instructions
P.S : And also suggest me any best and stable Android ROMS
Please search around and read the forums before posting here. This was one of the most asked questions and there are countless tutorials to load Android on the HD2. And regarding your question, every HD2 is able to run android on nand,android on sd, WP7 and WM. You just have to ensure it has the right HSPL and Radio before doing so. As for MDJ's android build you requested, it has been quite some time since the latest version has been released. Its not safe to say he has left the HD2 scene,but his kernels,gps,etc are still used by current builds. And he was the pioneering developer to bring Gingerbread to HD2 and making many developments in CM7 for the HD2 as well. The original thread for the build you mentioned is closed. But his work has been carried forward and what you see in the NAND&SD forums is partly due to him. So im sure you will be equally home with the other great builds out there.
Recommending the best and stable builds maybe a bit hard. It depends on what you want in your build. I presume you are looking for a NAND CM7 build,since you asked for MDJ's CyanogenMod 7. I used to try many builds when i got my HD2 a year ago. So ive 'settled down' now and have narrowed down to a few builds:
For CM7:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026), (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951), (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199917) & (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209474)
There are other CM7 builds in the forums, but the only reason ive not listed them here is because ive not tried them. So you should try the NAND builds you prefer and then decide. Inevitably, there will be a slower and more buggy ROMs, but most of the builds should not have major bugs since development has come a long way now. There also good sense builds out there, but there only a few, so there should be no problem in spotting and trying them. Hope this helps.

1. Read the countless guides/watch countless video tutorials on how to do this.
2. The ROM you have requested is insanely out of date, (when I joined the thread had already been closed, I was searching for it for ages) try a newer one e.g Hyperdroid or Typhoon CM7.
3. Nobody can recommend the best or most stable ROM. What works for one person may not work for another, it's a matter of taste. One easy way to see what you really like is to just try them out. As long as you stick to the guides, you won't risk damaging your phone.
In future please read the forums and use the search tool before posting.
Hi Friends!
I have had experience in the past with iPhone's and iOS, but now I am putting some hands at Android phones.
Actually, I have a HTC HD2 with a poor operating system, which is Windows... I want to port Android there, and my question is, which one of the Android OS is the most stable in this phone. I know there are various versions of Android available for the HD2, but I am looking for the Android that will perform flawlessly and is the easiest to port (straightforward, using tool, not coding), I don't want to put my head in danger on the first attempt.
Which of the Androids works best on HTC HD2, and what tools do I use to make the port for that particular OS version.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
PS: provide me with direct links please!
IMPORTANT: by default this phone was factory locked to T-Mobile US, now I am using it outside the us in another country, but I did not perform anything on it to change the radio settings, the person that gave me the phone has unlocked it...If I port Android to this phone will it risk the radio settings (I would not like the lose the possibility of using it with other carriers), or porting Android does not mess with the radio at all...
For future reference, what type of Driver/Tool is required to have installed so the phone can interact with computer?

If you used the search tool or Google you could have easily found 100+ threads about the best ROM.
I would say use a CM7 or MIUI ROM. There are tonnes, don't be lazy, I CBA to post links (yes, that is very hypocritical of me).
As far as I know Android won't mess with your carrier stuff
To install just download the HD2 NAND Toolkit, install HSPL, MAGLDR, CWM then ROM (see this guide).

I tend to understand that he wants to PORT and not INSTALL an Android ROM. Isn't that correct?
If that is what you are asking then Gingerbread non-sense is currently the easiest to port. you can use the kitchen found within the development forum.

I wasn't too sure, but I assumed that the use of the word 'port' was simply a misunderstanding, in the same way that many people say that they have 'flashed' an SD Android build.
@OP, If I was wrong then I take back what I said about not searching and stuff cos this is clearly not something heavily discussed and there isn't as much information available about it.
In my experiance hyperdroid cm7 has good speed stability, and battry life. This is a minimal rom with not a lot of fluff. If you like iphone fluff i would suggest ndt miui stable, miui has iphone simple fluff with andorid power, while cm7 has extended power user features like cpu controll built in.
to learn how to do this look for a newbie thread. They walk you form stock with being locked down to android and unlocked for flashing new roms.
I would go for hyperdroid it's fast and stable.
Friends, I am looking and wanted to put android 4.4 on my htc hd2 kitkat ...

I turn off the bluetooth GPS works well ...
I've seen and reviewed the settings of GPS and Android and nothing ...
because friend? the reason friends?
thank you all
Hello and welcome,
You seem to be new here, let me be your guide.
First of all, Android 4.4 is not released yet, so you can't have it on your HD2 device. And even when it is released, that does not guarantee that the HD2 will get it.
Secondly, this has nothing to do with SD development. Development forums are only for posting stuff you made/contributed to. Questions and problems should go to the HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General section. And please don't double thread, if you have two questions just ask them in the one thread.
Last but not least, you did not provide us with any information about your device. Without information, we can't help you. Type everything about the device then we might be able to help you.
Enjoy your stay here and have fun.

Okay, this is going to be difficult. By "device information" I meant what ROM do you have? Don't say Android 4.0.4, tell us the exact name of the ROM or give us a LINK. I don't use bluetooth so I don't know, all I can do is to suggest you to search within the ROM's thread.

Hello there.
The Androidversion 4.0.4 is not even the kitkat 4.4 and also the romversions Android 4.0.4 till 4.2.2 is not even a kitkat,
but i've running now for almost twoo weeks the Androidversion 4.3 and still this is not even a kitkat, but a cyanmogen (CM) 10.2 and
these latest <http://android.hd2roms.com/all-builds/> romversion works very good and fine with HTC HD2 and is very fast and stable.
This rom download (see above these line) is for free, but be patient when you started upload Androidversion 4.3, because it cost about time 30 minutes when everything is ready.
It's about 15 minutes for uploading .zip rom from SDcard and after when phone started automatically (after .zip rom installed) cost again 15 minutes when .zip rom run into screen (*light blue circle/turning around like a mirror clock* with inside wroten words *Cyanmogen*,also wroten in color light blue) and these circle with Cyanmogen inside shall run about 10 minutes after screen going over to uploading apps after 5 or even more minutes ready and your HTC HD2 shall run after finish to adjust phone first time...
Wanna need more turtorial (How to change/upload HTC HD2 Android version 2.2.1 till 4.2.2 into Android version 4.3)...
I shall layout step by step what to do, and it's very simple to upload the Android version 4.3
