I want to start the Android Rom from the SD Card.
Is there any Chance of brick or like that?
Is it dangerous?
Is there a very good and stable Anroid Rom for HTC HD2:
And it should run very fast on HTC HD2.
Greetings from Austria

Are you shure that there is not a brick chanche?
it's a very stable rom, its performance is better than many nand roms.
it's impossible to brick your phone when you use an sd rom
ok thx guys
there is something when u upgrade your radio to the latest one...this makes android run better but i think this means you can't seek help from Microsoft if anything goes wrong....

What? If you mean updating radio via HSPL you have two main options there:
1. Upgrade radio by flashing the latest official stock ROM thus keeping your warranty fine.
2. Flash a stock ROM via SD card if you ever need to return your HD2 which will restore original SPL.
In other words SD Android is 100% risk free and in the case of ACA at least very fast.

Gents,
Apologies if I have missed this in another thread (I did do a search!) or if this si the wrong forum
Has anyone gone from Win Mo 6.5 to Android on their HTC HD2? Was it easy to do? What files would I need to back up etc? And is it worth doing?

Apologies accepted since you missed alot of threads ! Most of us have Android on our HD2's .
It was very easy but you must do somethings first to guarantee a working Android on your HD2 . (Read the Guide on my Sig. )
You don't need to backup anything as the current Android doesn't touch your internal device memory (i.e. WinMo system files) It will run off your sd card.
Have fun

I ran EVO android from SD without having to mod my OEM phone.
Just make sure you do follow the directions and update the kernel as some may leave the kernel out of the bucket of legs and thighs.
It did mess with my time and date everytime I booted back into the phones OS but everything else pretty much was the same.
No speed improvements, may be a wee faster if loaded on phones memory.
Evertything the EVO Android had I had on my OEM phone, just different names on some apps.
Once I got my WM6.5 setup properly Android was usless to me.
Like linux it is a sloooooooooo booter. That is the deal breaker for me.
I like 30 second boots at the most. 20 seconds for a desktop is slow!
HD2 will live!!
HD2 with its name LEO is really a king to the jungle out there with its new era of a great processor, an outstanding screen and a sexy look!!
Wm 6.5 is fine but android really excells in combining wm and ios and making a neat interface with user friendly handling!
I'm so meticulous with my device and using stock rom and radio, i tried android from one of the great builds done by MDJ (thanx a lot to him)
It doesn't do any harm coz i didn't need to upgrade rom nor ram and everything is dealt with thru sdcard
if u don't like it; just format or erase the android folders or just leave it there if u have a big memory
it's awesome by all means!! give it a try u wont loose anything!!
TMOUS stock rom 2.10 and radio 2.08

Hi there
Are you saying, that you've managed to run adndroid on your leo with stock Rom and radio? Thing is, that I would also like to try android on my handset, but I'm too scared to hurt it in any way - hence not too keen on changing rom / radio - which seem to be only way according to info I've managed to find so far
Would you care to share your phone configuration, to see what you're running?
Many thanks.

Your current configuration won't run Android. It needs a radio of at least 2.08.50 (MUST be a .50, NOT a .51!!!) The ROM is irrelevant - only the radio matters to Android.
There is an official ROM upgrade available that takes you up to a 3.14 ROM with a 2.15.50 radio, but I don't know if you can use that without HSPL as you have a branded handset.
It may be possible to just upgrade the radio, from the HD2 ROMs thread, and leave your Windows ROM as it is.

They are two separate systems - WinMo in the phone's ROM and Android on the Phone's SD Card.
The only real requirement is that your RADIO must be at least 2.08.50 (any one higher than that with a .50 will do). So you need to know what software you already have:
Settings -> About phone -> Software information. Here you will see the Rom, Radio versions. If the radio is not correct, then we'll go through the procedure on how to update it.
The chefs in the Android ROM section give details on what you download and how to set it up.
As for backing up, there should be no need to (as they are independent systems), but better safe than sorry; install SPB Backup. Even if you weren't thinking of running Android, having a backup is always advisable.

I have a bootscreen on WM that shows 3.14 as the ROM but in Settings/phone/ software information it still shows 1.48 and a date of 09/29/10.
Is this normal? does this mean my upgrade failed?
Radio release is same on both - 2.15.50.14

Don't worry about what is says when Windows is running. The value shown then is from the registry, so it can be changed. Have you done a restore from a backup application by any chance?

It's always advisable to run Task29 before flashing a different type of ROM as it helps 2 ensure no remnants of the previous ROM remains 2 cause possible conflicts.....
Nw abt Gingerbread....Its way far 4rom perfect and so u should (actually "must" better defines it) expect issues from it...Check 4rom thread to thread for a build with lesser issues, then flash it 2 see if it matches ur taste...if it doesn't? u can always try another...
I suggest that you try a SD build of Gingerbread first.
That way, you don't need to flash your ROM, and it will leave your WM 6.5 ROM intact. The second advantage is that you will see if it fits your expectations.
But be aware that no build is perfect, and it is known that many apps are not compatible with Gingerbread yet.
I am currently using the build from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
and it is working really well.
Gingerbread
All in all I think Gingerbread, is quite stable, try MDJ's cyanogenmod7 that seems to work quite nicely
I just purchased an HTC HD2; which came with a dual boot of Windows Mobile and Froyo on the SD card.
I wanted to install CM7; but I'm new to the whole process and I have heard various methods of installing it; either on the SD card, NAND, or RAM?
What are the pro's/con's of each? Which would you recommend?
Go with NAND and MAGLDR.
RAM builds are kinda obsolete now.
SD Card.. uses more battery and cannot mount the phone as USB mass storage.
Latest ROMs, tweaks etc are in NAND.
NAND hands down.

I would recommend trying multiple different ROMs on SD (e.g. CM7, MIUI, Sense 3.0, Sense 3.5 etc.) on SD, then, once you've selected a ROM, flash a similar NAND ROM.
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I've heard some rumors that NAND has some issues so I wasn't sure.
Is NAND the ROM?
Since I will most likely do a NAND flash, this would be the best guide right? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948)
Also, the phone is currently SIM-Locked;I wont be getting the unlock code from the buyer for another day, would I still be able to flash the phone and THEN input the unlock code after without screwing up anything?

yeah, that one guide is great.
I would personally advise you to try out the clk versions, it acts more like a native android device. Also, with clk you will be able to use clockwork mod recovery, which makes things a lot easier.
I'm using AmeriCanAndroid, and I couldn't be happier about it.
But anyway, for sure go for the Nand version, that means that android will be installed as the native operation system, formatting the internal memory and getting rid of windows mobile. You won't need it anymore.
P.s. Just to make things clearer: nand is installing android on internal memory, clk and magldr are types of bootloaders to use and install nand android through.
Sent from my HD2 using my fingers.
I would recommend using a NAND based ROM over an SD. Uses less battery and is smoother running, unless you just have to have WM. And if an issue arises, a NAND based ROM is easy to back up or change out to a different ROM. On your question on unlocking your phone, the process is independent of whether your phone is on WM or Android. The procedure to unlock the phone is based on the IMEI number of the phone and uses hidden features on the phone independent of the OS on board.
Thanks guys. I just had a few more questions,
Is the guide that I posted compatible with a T-Mobile version hd2?
In terms of flashing, are there any big things to be careful about to avoid bricking your phone? (radio, etc?). Would there be any way to salvage a phone if something were to happen?

That's the guide I used to flash my T-Mobile US phone. So it should work for you as well. If something did happen to your phone, you can always flash back to WM. Follow the guide, you shouldn't find that you will brick your phone. As long as you don't flash the wrong radio. US phones use the 2.xx.50.xx versions and EU use the 2.xx.51.xx versions of radio. If you search for the radio thread, it will fully explain this and have the correct/latest radios available for download. Just don't mix them up and you won't brick your phone. Latest radio version for US phones is already in the guide that you posted.

Actually, I would recommend this guide. The guide you posted doesn't involve CWM and is thus pretty much useless for modern ROMs.
And the Radio version should be in phone software info (if I remember correctly) under settings.
I think it doesn't matter as far as your sd card is fast enough! I am buying new Tmous HD2 since i don't have to make sd ext for sense Roms and they took 1.5 hours to install on my wwe HD2! Big advantage of sd build comes when you dual boot.
Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm a bit caught up with work so I wont try flashing it till this weekend, thanks again.

Go under Settings then About Phone and you should see a line called Baseband Version and should tell you after the underscore what radio you are using. Mine shows 2.15.50.14 which is the latest for a T-Mobile US phone.
Hi Guys and Girls,
I just got my HD2 today and installed Phone 7 using XBMod/Yuki 2.1.
Now the phone is updated with Zune to version 7.0.7392.0 but instructions aren't clear on how to proceed further.
Offcourse I want the latest version of Phone7.
I can't find links to hd2 7720 fix.rar, and deviceprovisioning.cab.
Can anyone help me further?
Thanks,
Bart
Try this one.
U should try another rom like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534941
That rom update our HD2 to 8773 and no need update by Zune any more.
Anything u need to do is
1. task29 the phone and format your sd card to make sure the phone run smooth.
2. Reinstall MAG and choose USB install, wait few second and run DAF from zip file.
Sorry for my bad Eng.
Have fun.

Q.2 what are the reasons that someone can brick his T-Mobile HD2 ??
Q.3 so i need to install this new radio only for once or the everytime i install 6.5/7.5/android ??
Q.4 how big memory card i need to install dual boot of 7.5 and ICS(8/16/32 GB, i prefer the lowest as the phone speed will be decreased with a big memory card) which one works best ?
Q.5 what i need to take care of to avoid bricking my device ?
Q.6 what are the manual settings for 3G for Vodafone India ?
sorry guys for so many questions i'm so exited
also please tell me what i need to do first and second and than after that ........

Yes, as long as you have HSPL
Q.2 what are the reasons that someone can brick his T-Mobile HD2 ??
Flashing an EU radio (x.xx.51.xx)
Q.3 so i need to install this new radio only for once or the everytime i install 6.5/7.5/android ??
Only once
Q.4 how big memory card i need to install dual boot of 7.5 and ICS(8/16/32 GB, i prefer the lowest as the phone speed will be decreased with a big memory card) which one works best ?
Depends entirely on how you want to use it. I don't think a bigger card would decrease speed though, but you can do some research on that if you want.
Q.5 what i need to take care of to avoid bricking my device ?
Make sure you only flash a 2.xx.50.xx radio.

Think that should be fine, although from what I've heard the best SD classes for SD Android are 2 and 4.
Q.2 now as i have flashed a HSPL 2.08 do i need to update is later for other ROM's,,,,or this same HSPL will work for every ROM ??
Stick with HSPL 2.08.
Q.3 what is a CWM ??
CWM is short for Clockworkmod recovery. It's basically how we flash most NAND Android ROMs
Q.4 please guide me for a dual-boot of WM7.5+ThisROM
A couple of issues with that:
-I haven't done a dual boot of WP7 and Android before. Search for mengfei's guide (don't forget to thank him) and ask questions there
-The ROM you want is a NAND ROM. You need an SD ROM.
-The ROM you want is an alpha i.e. it's unstable with tonnes of issues
-The ROM you want has been discontinued
(may be i'll ask some more questions again, but please don't be pissed with my stupid questions as i don't want to brick my TMOUS.....and yes i do google everything about what i ask but google have so many confusing answers)

The radio and HSPL are fine, but as stated earlier you need an SD ROM, not a NAND ROM.

Never ask this question. Nobody can really suggest the best ROM for you, so don't even bother asking. If you want opinions, just go to the Dev sections and look at the number of views the thread has and its rating (in *s). As for the One V ROM, nothing works on that, as I've already pointed out. I've helped you so far but honestly I think you can find everything you could possibly need just by searching using the forum search tool.
