I thought it was only DFT Stock Desire build which wasn't rooted, but it seems I'm wrong. Well logically you could just move to a new ROM I guess, MCCM HD is a very good rooted SD Froyo/Sense ROM IMO
But of course I'm not sure how you would back up your data seeing as Titanium Backup and other similar apps all require root, and the data.img cannot be swapped between builds.
Also, have you considered switching to a NAND ROM? Bit off-topic but I just thought I would recommend it

I have been on nand for ages, but it's always slower than sd. Anywayzz that wasn't my question, exactly
I just want to know if it is possible. Sd builds are always faster on my hd2.

is there not an app on the market that gains root access with a simple one click? or am i thinking INSIDE the box?

Try searching for Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip and flash it via recovery. But be aware.. Im not sure if it works for your build. It does for mine.
Or use SuperOneClick.
Btw.. NAND slower then SD builds? Haha, very funny. The reading times were sometimes horrible slow. Especiallly installing multiple app from market and so on. Get a nand like hyperdroid and you are fine.
Nice day

HD2 android ROMS

Are there ROMS avaliable or just SD Card boot for the HD2, if there is a ROM, can I have one as similiar to the EVO as possible?
Thanks
This might be moved to Android dev general... But it's a good question, the roms are made from the desire hd, is this because it is a gsm android?
I would like to see a evo rom on my hd2, if possible...
A NAND rom is not yet available.... I believe we will have one soon.... September if I'm not mistaken

correct,not sure why we don't have any evo roms,but yes,nand should be working next month.
The quick answer is yes and no.
The long answer begins like this: There are a lot of roms on here ready to be loaded into your SD card and started. There isn't any that can be flashed to NAND yet.

this needs to be in general section

Try out the shubcraft rom. This is not a desire or nexus one build. You end up with HTC HD2 in your info section. I believe this is because it builds its own files on first startup. This also allows the build to have a download size of about 80mb only.

[Q] Which ROM?

I am looking for a NAND ROM for Android 2.1-2.3 with HTC Sense.
I have been told I am looking for a stock desire ROM.
Where can I get such a ROM and what Radio do I use?
Please tell me where to get the Stock Desire ROM as I can't find it anywhere.
And I'm going to be using MAGLDR if that helps.
depends on whther you want a standard desire rom like skinks or a hd version such as imilka or rafpignas
i personally perfere the hd versions and have run roms from both the above and both produce fantastic roms
currently im using ilmilkas hd ram version which is very very fast with rafpignas 1.9 kernel
Thanks
And it will work on NAND, right?
I was going to use clockworkmod to install it.
Do I just copy it to the SD card and boot clockworkmod?
In this circumstance does the CLRCAD and HARET files matter.
you install it on nand, clrcad and haret are for booting from sd card they are not neeed when using nand

You can also try HD2 CoreDroid HD. It´s a beautiful ROM, very fast, and stable. The instructions to install it are in my signature. The link is here. Let me know whar you think.

Have you ever tried Sense? It great... Give it a try. Most of us with the HTC don´t want to part with it...

When gingerbread comes with a decent dialer and calendar app I will quit Sense. Until then, it is the best interface for me.

here is a good one im using right now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915159
Rafdroid HD 4.0.2 is better than the actual Desire HD. My best mate owns one, my HD2 is faster and has longer battery life.
no Sense rom is better,I am sure.

[Question] Stock Nexus S rom from SD ?

Afternoon guys, Apologies first off. I have tried looking but Can't find a standard Nexus S rom to boot from SD. I have one for Nand but have a dual boot with WP7 set up, currently I'm using a gingerbread rom but prefer the standard Nexus S build I had previously. Not been able to find one, but hoping I just missed it and someone might know where ones hiding ?
Nexus S Rom
Have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926631
I think it's the Nexus S HD Rom. Works perfectly for me.
I think this is froyo from nexus one ... that rom is really fast as a wm6.5/SD built but somehow I wasn't able to boot it w maglr .. anyway if I remember correctly the only non-Sense 2.3 for SD is Americandroid .. its super fast .. worth trying!

I think I'm missing something here .. nexus S comes with gingerbread correct?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It is Gingerbread yea but all the Roms I have found either have sense or other customs pieces embedded.I appreciate people like those but personally I prefered the Stock Gingerbread ( with just googles implimentation ) that was on the Nexus S. Im currently using the Americandroid but just wanted to see if there was the nexus s build around. If not, im happy with what i have

Task29 clears everything meaning there wont be a rom on your phone then you go on from there, magldr 1.13 etc there are guides within the forum that will get you through it like this for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
EDIT: oh and if its an sd build windows is still there, so basically you wont see android until you boot it from your sd
well for naw i see that i will never sell the hd2 ..........he can do everything
best phone on earth !

Cant really recommend roms as what might be best for me might not be for you, so id just read around HERE and see what you might like test a few and if you install them correct you wont have a problem with half of them, some are still in beta so not stable for every day use, look at these 3, these have been up long so most possible the most stable Rom 1 Rom 2 Rom 3 Enjoy...

Ankuch's ICS Build 15

I've been using this rom via sd and i can say is the best build i've used so far. Dont know why i had so many problems using tytung's v1.3 if both roms are based on tytung's work. Anyway, i just want to thank everyone on this as they have given life to my hd2 again and again. I have a tmous hd2 with stock sd card and am not able to use portadroid4.0 to port ics nand roms. I have tried using different sense roms as i like sense, but have had the same loading time issues, is there any build you would recommend?
I know i have written different topics as one thing. Feel free to move where it needs to be, mod.
