Help Flashing Android

I wanted to flash Android over WinMo entirely. So I followed this guide (Method 1)after I installed HardSPL. Now the screen is just black. It's on, but just black. It isn't recognized by MobSync or the Updater.
Am I screwed now?
**EDIT** I kinda panicked at first, but then realized that I have to be able to get to the bootloader. So I figured out how, got to the bootloader and flashed it again. Same thing, black screen.
I assumed this would flash an Android build onto this? Do I still have to flash a build and how do I tell the difference between builds that run off SD and builds that are flashed entirely?

Flash back to a stock win mobile rom, then restart your attempts to get android up and running.
It's not bricked if the device can get to bootloader and successfully flash.

So the guide I followed should have flashed a build onto there? Not just set it up so I could?
I really appreciate the help. I normally am in the G1 section, so doing this on the Vogue is kinda new.
Also, I'm really just interested in a 1.6 ROM. 2.x would be sweet, but only if the important stuff works.
What are the best 1.6/2.X ROM? I know it's subjective.

You don't HAVE to flash to your NAND, I personally run android off my SD card until a few features become complete in it (A2DP Bluetooth :/ ). So far after testing all builds I have found ANDROID] Myn’s Warm Donut – DarkStar Themed to run the fastest and smoothest, however it is far from 100%. Basic functions work as well as bluetooth headsets, however apps are a 50/50 shot at working. For the most part the stability and basic functions are all complete tho. The new 2.1 builds show a great deal of promise.
This community brought my old Vogue out of storage and I have been using it again as my daily driver.
In one month I guarantee we will have a incredibly stable 2.1 build, these people are geniuses.

I know I don't have to, but I want to. I'm going to give it to my wife as just something to play with. It will have no data/voice so I don't want her to have to launch Android from WinMo every time.
But is that link in the guide from the first post supposed to flash a build or not? Do you know?

Double Post. Sorry.

Everything I try ends up with a Kernel Panic or something about the input messing up. I can't get past the Linux boot with the Penguin.
Any one have any idea why I'm having all these problems?

Questions Re: Android and Win Mo?

Gday all im a bit lost in the android forums so im just going to do a noob thing and ask for some assistance, thanks.
I just installed the "[30 DEC][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM" rom over top of my last rom from WINMO, which was the Energy jan 6 rom.
I also installed the latest Radio "Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14" and HSPL3 along with "MAGLDR112" everything went sweet upon install, so i have no real questions regarding that but im wondering how i can boot back into WINMO if its possible?
If i reboot the phone it just auto loads into Android.
Also i would like to know what the best Android rom is for reliability and secondly how would i update the roms as new version are released?
I think thats about it for now, the rom in currently using feels smooth and great the apps work fine but it feels a little locked down compared to the WINMO but it hasnt crashed on me in the past day which WINMO would have by now, lol.

To flash back winmo, simply go into bootloader/tri color screen. This is done by holding vol down, then powering up.
I'm not going to answer which is the "best" android rom, as that has been asked many times, where there are many answers for, so, search it up.
Updating differs. If it uses daf.exe/install.exe, it's that same as how you flashed android for the first time, however sometimes you can't retain your settings. Clockwork mod flashing however, is unbeknown to me, haven't tried it yet, sorry.

Thanks for that, so what would i need to do to backup my settings and info on the Android just incase i reinstall it just say?
Also if i back to the bootloader would that mean ill have to reinstall a winmo rom?
Then if so would it only boot into WINMO and not android?
Secondly how would i be able to reboot into android again?
I guess im asking is there a way to dual boot and whats the best way about doing it?

r u being jackass?u have to flash stock wm rom first.ok then u can flash any custom rom.
ok use titenium backup to backup ur android settings abd appp..
ok and after winmo if u want dual boot u have to install sd android build to ur sd card

Why would i want to be a jackass?
Yeah i come on here to troll these forums to post noob questions for ****s and giggles, are you such a person who angers over someone who clearly doesnt know what he is doing and yet you think im being a jackass (god i hate that word, lol never used down here though).
I hope i clearly posted im the OP on how and what i installed but now im lost, i have android working fine but i dont know how to back any data up just incase i do an update or even flash back to stock rom and maybe come back to android later and hope to reuse the backed up data from the android rom.
It took me about a year to get used to WINMO and learning how to install a custom rom on it but now i thought i give android a go and i managed to follow the steps without any issues (yes there were a few more steps i needed to do than i did need to do for a custom rom for WINMO) but now that i have it running i just want to know what to do to get WINMO back on and preferably getting WINMO and android working side by side.
I know how to flash custom roms in WINMO but im just wondering if there was a way for me to be able to boot back into winmo while i have android installed, all i want is to be pointed into the right direction or shown a link to a walkthrough or just given a point form reply as to the process on what and what not ill be able to keep and the best way in doing so.
So from your reply i gather ill need to install android to my SDcard and not the phone memory in order to run WINMO and Android together am i correct?
If so then because i use the ENERGY ROMS i can boot to android from within the ENERGY ROM, am i correct? i think NRG did something with android in his roms.
I am really sorry if i have upset anyone (above) but i am really lost with this, yes i pretty much understood custom roms in WINMO but with this i just did it spontaneously VERY VERY late last night and i wasnt thinking straight i just gave it a shot, so i put myself in the deep end and now im very confused with getting it back to normal as such thats all.
Worst case would i just be able to reformat the SD and then boot to 4 colour screen and just do my custom WINMO install as per usual or would i have to install the stock rom back then install the custom rom?

First of all, ignore the "jackass" above. That was just plain rude and he made himself look like a total idiot.
Secondly, if you want to backup your current Android setup, get Titanium Backup from the market. There's a batch job (click menu, batch jobs) that backs up all your apps & data and system settings. It backs it up to your SD card though, so be aware of that if you're thinking of formatting it for any reason.
Next, get the WM6.5 ROM that you want to flash (doesn't have to be a stock one). Enter the bootloader (tri-colour screen) and flash your WM ROM as normal.
Finally, when you flash a ROM onto your phone, that becomes the only OS on there. You can't switch between Android NAND and WM without flashing. You can, however, run Android from your SD card. There's a forum dedicated to that here...
HD2 Android SD Development
There's lots of info in there on how to do it, but it's basically unzip a file, copy the contents to your SD card, run 2 apps. You'll probably want to go down the route of a bootloader (not really) that runs in Windows. It lets you select Windows or Android when you reboot. They too can be found in that same forum.
That's the only way you can switch between Windows and Android on a regular basis, without flashing a new ROM.
Hope this helps

Thank you very much it has cleared allot up for me, now i know that because i flashed android on the phone its the only OS i can use, i didnt know that TBH.
So yes thanks again and ill do it the SD way and try my luck with that.
One more small thing, how do i go with updating the current android rom im using (if it were to be updated), does it work in a similar process as WINMO custom roms and their updates?
Again i much appreciate the reply, it has helped already.

Generally, you flash an updated ROM the same way you flash the original ROM. There are backup options like Titanium Backup or ClockWork Mod (if the ROM supports it), so you can get everything back up and running again.

[Q] HTC HD2 freezing when it boots up

Whats up everyone, quick help here. I got a hd2 from someone and they tried to flash the phone to dual boot android on it. The guy was unsuccessful in doing so as a result the phone now freezes when it boots up and i would have to take out the battery to turn it off.
Do I have to flash the phone back to the original windows 6.5 rom to resolve this?
any help is appreciated

Depends on what you finally want to have on that device.
If you want to go back to WinMo 6.5 as major OS, it certainly is the easiest way just to flash a stock ROM.
If you still want to continue with a NAND Android build, maybe it´s enough to check the versions of SPL, Radio ROM, and MAGLDR - as well as the Android ROM that was flashed. Could have been a bad flash after all.
But since your data is extremely meager, no way to give a generic and easy hint.

thanks for the incite..first i want to get it bak to factory settings so i will want to flash it back to the original rom.then ill look into flashing it myself with the droid rom without windows..no dual boot.
do you have a link i can follow to flash it back to the original windows rom?

same problem Please help
Hello there I was the same problem with my HTC, I can't flash it back to the original rom. It's just frozen at the boot loader... What should I do? It's not recognize on my pc...

what do you mean frozen at the bootloader? it won't recognize if you plug in usb at all?

How do i Flash back?

I have the DFT win 7 on My HD2, and now all of a sudden theres no signal when ever im in a 2g only zone. Everywheer ells where 3g coverage is present, it all goes fine. So im gonna switch back to good old winmo 6-5 and then to some android rom.
Anyone now how to do so?

I believe you just flash a winmo 6 rom, will remove magdlr and leave your phone as new, then reflash magdlr and the android rom of choice.

Stock rom flashing problem
Hi all, i am currently using WP7 but wish to go back to 6.5. There are a lot of reasons for this and I won't bore you with them. However I have tried all of the different ways to flash back and none seem to wotk.
1: Flashed from SD card. (not sure this was done correctly though. As it iasked me to format, which I did to FAT 32. But it said copy the renamed rom to "leoimg.nbh" and past it in the root folder. There were no folders on the formatted sd card) evidently this was not correct as it didnt work.
2: I flashed from bootloader screen with the stock rom, but it loads to the cottulla HTC screen and stays on 0%!
please help as I am desperate to go back to 6.5 lol

I did not, i flashed some wp7 roms again and again,stayed with yukis rom, and then updated manualy from 7004 ro 8107 which seemed to work this time around.

way you choose Yuki? why not choose one of full unlocked ROM?
also dont forget, Yuki ROM lock sdcard... if you want to change ROM or back to Android you must unlock card first...
