htc hd2 running android (newbie) - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hello, I just converted my HTC HD2 from W6.5 to android nand 2.2, and so far I'm really impressed at the speed and the available apps. However, I cannot connect to the internet without using my home wifi. I have seen the other threads saying to download the datacontroller.cab file and I have done that. But I can't open the file to download it or get it to work.
I know this is a newbie question, but that's what I am.
Help? Let me know what additional information you need and I'll get it!!!
Thanks kindly in advance!

So you can't get mobile network working on win mobile or android?

Whichever build you are using is old and will probably have many bugs. Try a newer build. Also, as far as I know .cab files do nothing in Android, these are for WinMo.

Nigelgd, where do I get the info to run a newer build?
Thanks

in this section you are in, , see teh top thread?
''**HD2 Android Q&A and General - Sticky Roll-Up Thread**''
look in there, read the guides.

Samsamuel, that didn't work either. The buld downloads no longer exist.
Maybe I'm trying this out too late?

Oh dear... first choose a ROM you like. I personally recommend Typhoon CM7 but you can choose pretty much any ROM in the Android NAND Development section on the first page. Then follow this guide to get your Android build running.

Hello all!
I got it figured out. From searching the internet, I found a site that walked me thru the fix. It's the APN settings in the mobile networks, under settings.
Thanks to all who support this website, I'm going to like using my phone now! And to think I almost sold it for $50!

No, in your case you should buy a HTC DESIRE HD.

Ok, serious now.
AFAIK you have to upgrade your Radio-Rom to at least 2.08.x or higher, I don't know exactly.
Btw. why don't you read this thread?

[Q] how to instal android?????

whether someone can show me the procedure how to install android on htc hd2
while everything works great, as with Windows Software
Open any thread in regards to NAND Android builds, and voila.
It will state how to install a Android ROM.
Do a search for "guide" and "Android" and you will find quite some hits on that too.
I'd love to post some links here, but i'm mobile at the moment.. a bit of searching will get you a lot of results

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.

Go to the HTC website and flash the latest stock ROM 3.14 for HD2. After this all you need to do is download a ROM from the SD Android section, place the Android folder on the root of your SD card (i.e. not in any folders), go to file explorer, in Android run CLRCAD and then HaReT.

Luckily I'm on O2 UK so I may be able to attach it. I've never tried this though so sorry if it doesn't work.
You tell me if it worked.
EDIT: clearly it didn't. You can try this one though.
Ok, i think it´s not possible.

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..

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.
