dudes i want to dual boot my phone with wp and android, currently running miui with magldr. so i have few doubts regarding wp7 for hd2.
i had an hd7 with mango 7720 so i an used with it..
1) do every thing in wp7 for hd2 is similar to hd7?
2) like no bluetooth file tranfer, no usb mass storage support?
3) to modify it do i have to push cab via cabsender( like i do in xbox mod rom for hd7)
4) no xap download support from browser?
5) sync via zune only and no wmdc support?
6) no option to import msgs, contacts, documents to computer?
thats all. what about wp6.5? as i fount the above doubts as draw backs, i want a wp os which are free from those drawbacks..
so can i go for wp7 or wp6.5? i realy like the buttersmothness of wp7. can i get it in wp6.5 too..?
All of those questions relate to OS specific features, not device features. They are therefore the same on all WP7 phones, including the HD2 when running WP7.

I've followed the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17205291
and stopped at the step 14. Thus I've just flashed my HTC HD2 from WM6.5 to WP7, upgraded via Zune to 7.10.7712.60.
Questions:
(1) I want to keep ability to upgrade my HD2/WP7 through Zune in future (no manual pushing of cab-files).
Would I be able to do that if I now did the optional steps 15.-16. and apply cab-files to upgrade to HD2-7720 (WP7 Mango)?
(2) For the moment I cannot activate my Windows Live ID. My device is currently identified as HTC HD2 (Settings -> About) and I cannot apply chevronwp7.exe to modify model name (it works for 7004/7008 only).
Can I call to Microsoft to obtain activation code? Or should I first change model name somehow?
(3) I want to develop apps for WP7 and guess it's better to jailbreak the device.
Can I do that with 7712/7720 (e.g., with WP7 Update Cab Sender or Application Deployment included in MS Windows Phone Developer Tools)? Or the only way is to re-flash WP7 from the beginning: to 7004 (or 7008), crack with chevronwp7.exe, change model name, upgrade again to 7712/7720?
Thanks,
Michael

2. this no matter... in registry is HD7 info and you can activate Live services without problem... you only give Name and phone number to microsoft... nothing else
3. ROM is already jailbreaked... dont forged to do hard reset when done upgrade to 7720...
@dxdy
Thanks for the clarification.
Regarding 3.
If it's jailbroken, does it mean I can install apps directly without Windows Marketplace? How? What else can I do (e.g., access file system etc.)?
yes, use Tom XAP Installer
First. Very Very thanks YuKi for Custome Roms.
Becuase your Effort, Many HD2 Users can use WP7 Mango..^^;
Now, I wonder some troubles in Manggo 7.5 WP7 by YuKi Rom 7720(7740) version .
First, How can use BlueTooth Head set during Movie(AV Files).
I can not Found a solution to convert adaptable WP7 AV File Format.
Second, WIFI AP connection problem.
Some AP can not be connected to my HD2 Wp7 (7.5 Manggo,7740)
But I can not understand this problem,because I could connected Same
Access Point(AP) when my HD2 is android.
Third, I want to using my Ear Set during Phone Call..
They can not leasen my talk when i use my ear set(hearing) and talk to
HD2 Phone's bottom area.
Please Check and Fix these Problems.
Always I thanks to you (Yuki...), Cheer up!!! ^^;
It seems (by doing several searches here in XDA) that there's a fair amount of ppl. having this issue. And I can't seem to find solid responses about this yet.
Status:
- Pdaimatejam ROM Tango 7.10. (No issues other than Zune and WPDM sync)
- Device Manager shows no issues with the driver. (Device recognized under Portable Devices as HTC HD7 T9292) ...although mine is an HD2.
- Installed WPDM but is asking me or the SDK 7.1 (which I am currently downloading)...
- Touchexperience downloaded but I have no way of running it as can't sync the device with neither WMDC nor WPDM. - also, not sure if this has anything to do with this issue. (I read in one thread that it might help)
- Have ALL windows updates. YES I have made several resets. Connect/disconnect etc. I DO have a windows Live ID.
- I have reinstalled Zune a couple of times already.
how can I get zune to detect my device?
How do I sync this device then?
Thanks a bunch.

you're running wp7...the pc will see as a hd7
you may have a live id, but do you have an activation code to authorize the wp7 phone installation?
don't know what you mean by all windows updates...what updates for pda'a rom? it'a all self contained flash.
have you tried rebooting the pc after zune installation?
you need to have zune running in order to use wpdm
and by resets, did you do hard resets either from setttings..reset or the hardware reset (vol up/down simultaneous during phone boot)
sometimes phone recognition by zune can be slow sometimes.
got the activation code. I am able now (after installing Visual Studio) of using WPDM to transfer files to the device. The Zune issue persists.
I did hardware resets, installed all from scratch (HSPL3, MAGLDR, RADIO) and finally ROM Pdaimatejam Tango 7.10.877.
Thanks for your quick reply hjhjhj!

i run into zune connection issues once in a while too...it usually comes down to doing a pc diskclean process and reboot the pc and try again.
I'm having troubles with the Marketplace on my WP7.
I installed the HD2 Updatable XBmod Yuki v2.1 rom on my HTC HD2 and installed some new updates with Zune. I currently have OS version 7.0.7392.0.
At first my phone asked for an activation key when I tried to install a new application. I called Microsoft and filled in the activation key they gave me.
Now when I try to install a new application following messages pops up:
"You need to update your phone using the Zune software on your computer. Some Zune and Marketplace experiences may be limited until you have updated."
When I connect to Zune and check for updates it says that my device is up to date.
I've read tons of threads and forums about installing application without the marketplace (e.g. Developer Unlock, ...) but that's not what I want. I just want to be able to downloads apps from the Marketplace.
Is there anyone who has experienced the same problem and who was able to fix it ?
thnx

7392??? current version for yuki rom is 8107 with 8773 coming soon from ms. you need to update wp7. the apps on marketplace probably needs current wp7 to even install. update your wp7 via zune or through the manual update cabs provided by yuki. read both yuki threads.
Hi guys,
my hd2's touchscreen stoped working, and I've tried (and retried) flashing various ROMs trying to see if that would get it working...unfortunately it didn't...but I was able to remote control my device in rooted android ROMs using screencast, I was wondering if I could do the same under WP7?
I remeber using WM's CE Remote tools for such a thing (and I think there's such a possibility for the 7.8 ROMs but one needs to install an additional xap).
The problem is that once I flashed a new WP7 ROM instead of android it needed to be re-setup again prior to being able to connect it to Zune allowing xap installing...is there a way around this...is there a pre-setup unlocked WP7 ROM out there or a way to connect to Zune without having to setup first (which I can't do because the touchscreen doesn't work anymore please).
TIA
