I'd like to start off by saying that I know nothing, NOTHING about the technicalities of phones. I know nothing about ROMs, Radios, SPLs (or whatever they are). I'm a COMPLETE noob, but I HATEEEEE Windows Mobile. It's crap.
I've been reading posts on the site for a good three hours now, but there's so much I don't know, I'm confused and lost. So, if ANYONE could PLEASE give me a step by step break down of EVERYTHING I need to do, and download (in order) so that I can put the Android software on my phone, I'd REALLY appreciate it! My Software info is:
OS: 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
ROM version: 2.13.531.1
Radio version: 2.10.50.26
Please help! Also, can I still use the SWYPE text feature once my phone is on Android?
If ur on gtalk I can help out. [email protected]
I'm in a good mood today.

Read it everything... That's how you flash.
Then go here after you have all that down: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782173
Read everything. That's how you install Android on your SD Card. You will STILL have windows. Android will run on top of it.
Then pick the Android build you want...
Swype is strong for droid.some androids come with it. I had to try several different versions until one worked, our wouldn't say the trial is over.

In my opinion there is way to much stuff to read for how simple it really is to flash a Rom & Install Android there should be a thread started that tells noobs the easy way.
1st. Download and unzip HSPL , Radio ,Task29, Rom of your choice, and android build of your choice.
2nd. Put your phone in bootloader mode and plug it into computer (hold down on volume while powering on)
3rd. Click the HSPL accept accept next next.... when it is at %100 hold down in volume again to enter bootloader again
4th. Click the radio everything is exactly the same as B4 accept accept nextnext... hold down
5th. Click Task29 same as above ^^^^^^
6th. click the ROM then next next accept accept BUT THIS TIME HOLD BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS WHEN IT REACHES %100 this will hard reset volume up to reboot then your done with the windows install.
7th. Now just plug your phone into the computer make sure it in disc drive mode not that active sync BS and transfer the Android folder you unzipped with the rest of the stuff unhook and use file explorer on the phone find the Android folder Click CLRCAD then CLICK HARET it loads up Android AND VWALAHHH
Very nice. But do you have recommended radio and roms for Android builds?
please help me out.
hmm can i have a custom rom( like for an example: a chucky rom) and a android os in my htc hd2??
Yes...it is explained on this and other threads, also you could have the latest official 3.14 ROM that works with some android builds.
thank you!can you give me some pointers on some good roms to have that will work perfectly with android??
thank you!

Everything that you need to get started with the wonderous world of Android Froyo 2.2 on your HD2 is HERE.
I have downloaded the energy rom for the HD2 ive don everything i was meant 2 like the radio and the hspl but im stuck on the boot logo screen and it doesnt change at all and i cant get it workin i only installed this rom cos i was gonna put froyo on it 2 run android but now i cant can some1 plz help me and yes i am a noob can some1 tell me how 2 restore it back 2 the original OS so it works again cos i need my phone and can it be step by step
I was going to type out how to do it, but I don't remember each step that vividly... In the regular hd2 section you can get help in the rom development forum for how to revert back to the stock rom. The top stickies should have all the info you need, plus downloads to the stock roms.
I have similar problem with Sencity Energy rom, and radio 2.15.50.14. Got stuck forever at android boot screen (green HTC logo) forever. I've tried several android builds but neither got past boot screen.
Anyone have solution to this problem?

sure, pull the battery cover, press the soft reset button, or pull the battery.... reinstall battery, it'll boot up into WM... done.
might i recomend formating your sdcard before trying again.
and yes , firs boot into android will take probably 20 min, it has to build a new filesystem on the sdcard, initialise, and a whole bunch of technical stuff thats obviously way over your head.
Hi ,I use energy rom too and i use this android rom and works perfectly try it out.
my radio version 2.07.50.27_2
I use the drop mode version.

If you could post a link 2 it plz it would help me a lot thanks
I'm new to all this as I only loaded HSPL 2.08 on my phone for the 1st time on Sunday evening. I then loaded the new 2.14.50.* radio. Then I loaded NRG's 21916 Original Cookie ROM. Everything worked fine. And then yesterday I downloaded FroyoStone_Sense and followed instructions and now I'm playing Fruit Ninja
The steps I followed are
those for the energy ROM thread in this forum
then
search for "How to Install Android 2.2 Froyo on HTC HD2 easily" on google.

Go to "settings, sound" and turn off audible touch tones in the "feedback" section. If that doesn't work, next time you're in a call turn on speakerphone and then turn it off again. That should stop your problem till next reboot. The first suggestion normally resolves the problem though.
Good luck

Hi all,
I was wondering if you guys could help me getting Android on my HD2.
I've been digging this forum for several weeks now, there is so much information that I don't know what to do!
I've got a European HD2, not the T-Mobile one. The reason I would like to have Android running on it is because Windows 6.5 hangs quite often and it's too slow in my opinion.
After finding out how to check my SPL version, I found that I have 3.03.0000. Is it actually possible to run Android on it?
I've also seen some topics about dual boot and switching back and forth between Android and WM. That's not a requirement for me, I actually prefer just running Android without having the opportunity for WM.
Some specification which I don't know it's useful, but I'll post them anyway;
- OS Version; 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
- Manila-Version; 2.5.20181527.0
- ROM Version; 3.14.404.2 (04666) NLD
- ROM Date; 10/06/10
- Radio Version; 2.15.50.14
I would appreciate your help a lot!
Kind regards,
Jerome
Flash from SPL to HSPL might going to work, but work better with custom ROM along with the HSPL.
Some user reporting that they can run Android with their stock ROM and SPL, but I don't know. Try it. You should wait a few minute for the first boot....possible at least 5.
If it don't work, then I hope you use the statement I mention in the first sentence.
Could you tell me what do you and what SPL and HSPL is exactly?
I don't have much knowledge yet, but I'm willing to learn!
Thank you for your reply anyway!
If you are willing to learn then you best option is to actually read the threads that already exist instead of creating a pointless one.
First go into the HD2 Rom thread and learn how to get HSPL on your phone and a custom rom and updated radio.
After yu have done that come back to the Android sections and learn how to boot android.
First.. Check what ROM you have currently. By the looks of it with radio 2.15.50 you look to have the latest ROM from HTC installed. Unfortunately there is no HSPL Software for the latest ROM from HTC so you will have to downgrade your rom which will let you use HSPL3 (Linkage)
SPL is the "software" on your phone that stops you flashing non HTC Roms. You use a utility called HSPL (above) to install HSPL on your phone to enable you to flash a custom rom.
Once you have HSPL on you can them flash a custom rom from the forums. I use the OzDroid 1.11 as it has been very stable at running android.
Once that is Flashed to your phone you will need to choose which android version you require. I use MDJ FroYo HD V4.3. Download it and copy the ANDROID folder onto your SD Card.
Re-boot OzDroid and you will be presented with the Choose screen. Windows or Droid. Select Android and it will boot into android. You will need to wait 5-15 mins for android to boot on first run.
Hope this helps.

man its not that easy, if someone has little background knowledge in all this all the unfamiliar information and new terms can be too confusing. Sometimes you just have to ask questions...
...although i do understand that there are probably thousands of posts started by asking the same exact questions ("which is the best android rom for HD2")and that can actually make it that much harder to wrap ones head around.
Do you need WM ROM, or can u run just Android?

Q: Do you have to load a "custom rom", I assume you mean WM ROM?
Isn't there a way to load Android straight onto the EPROM Memory of your phone, so that only Android runs and not the full WM in the background? Surely that would save RAM and battery?
I found this thread useful, also trying to wade thru the info.
Thanks

no there isnt a way to do this yet without WM on the phone as well.
however, the "full WM" is not running in the background, its just needed to get the linux module started and then boot Android. Nothing is really "running in the background" but it is running from the sd card.
hope some of this helps.

Thanks for the reply.
Is there then a way to get both android and WM on the ROM of the HD2. Since its about 512MB, there won't be space for much else, but that should save the battery, since android wont be running from the SD card.
5haddex;
Thank you so incredible much on helping me here! I've got OzDroid running now, it looks awesome already, now I need to find my preferred Android built, but that shouldn't be a problem.
Again, thank you so much!
I've got OzDroid up and running now, works great too!
But when I try to boot into Android with the provided CleanDROID, or with CLRCAD and hared, the phone hangs after showing the command line;
Jumping into custom kernel...

Even when I let the phone untouched for 6 hours, it won't do anything.
I've tried several Android builds, also trying to "repair" startup.txt with CleanDROID which gives me an error too.
Any thoughts? Maybe try another custom rom? Any tips or links on that one?
Cheers

what about the EnergyROM with Sense 2.5 Reference?

sounds like a radio issue to me, have you tried other ROMs, what is your radio version?
Try flashing 2.12.50 or 2.15.50 and you should be fine.
tried the Energy Rom, no good use.. flashing the radio now.... thxx for the quick reply
sure thing, let me know how it goes.
Also, when flashing a new winmo ROM, are you doing a task29?
I have had issues when flashing new ROMs over old ones without doing task29 first, it seems to help a lot.

You just need to up your radio. Forget HSPL - you're just wasting your time, unless you need to do it for the radio upgrade.
EDIT: Just checked and there's a Vodafone version of the latest ROM. It comes with the latest radio that is perfect for running Android.
http://www.htc.com/de/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=1071
quick question: if I want to remove the branding, I just have to flash a unbranded update via SSPL?
Yes. If you want to flash an unbranded ROM then you'll need to update SPL, but if you're running Android then it won't matter
I strongly recommend the latest ROM. I've been using it since it was released and I've had 0 problems with it.
thanks ;-) I´ve had an HTC Hero with Android 2.2 and now I see this WM 6.5 ... and it´s such a crap lol, oh well.
I installed the latest Vodafone-ROM and now I´ll copy Android to the SD and take a look ... next thing will be the bootloader and I´ll update this thread then lol.
