Hey guys,
I am a quite unfamiliar with all these builds and all that but a long time ago, I could install Android 2.2.1 and WP7 on my HD2. Now after a few months, I forget how I did all that, and I would like to have the latest version of Android and WP7 on my HD2. The problem is, that I even forgot abt that Magldr and HSPL-things.
Can I easily upgrade both systems or do I need to flash it back to 6.5 and install everything from new again?
Is there a guide maybe, where I can have a look at? because I did not find anything.
Thank you very much
HSPL will stick as long as you DONT revert to a stock rom.
i would download the HTC Toolkit for HD2 ... that will be an all-in-one for doing a, TASK 29 and reinstalling magLDR all from one place.
i would do a task 29 because it will wipe your nand that way you won't run into problems with a new version of WP7 (no conflicts with old framework etc)
if your not to worried about thoroughness and just want new NOW.
just boot up magLDR by holding down power during boot. after mag menu comes up choose USB flasher (optioin 5 i believe) and then running the DAF.exe of the new WP7 rom (8107 is newest)
after place Android on SD and boot
the new WP7 roms no longer lock the SD so you won't have to worry about the headackes that used to cause. but BEWARE most of the new WP7 roms are using a new touch driver that causes random reboots (all driver related ... has nothing to do with the SD card class like the previous versions)
and as always good luck!

Hello.
Im loving my HTC HD2. I think its a great PPC, and im happy with its settings too.. I have some questions about Android that I hope you could help me with.
1. If im gonna try Android. I want to back up my WM6.5 with all settings etc. Is it possible to make a image of my current OS+settings+programs? And How do I "go back" to my WM6.5 if its a total failure?
2. How do Android on HTC HD2 work? Does it remove WM6.5 at all or run as "dualboot"?
3. I had TyTn2 before. Many had problems with HardSPL, bricking and such.. Is it a big chance that Android will do the same?
4. Any tips?

1. Android for HD2 is at the moment only aviable for SD-Card boot. NAND - boot will come. So SD-Card means that it wont erase anything from you winmob rom. You need HSPL (means you loose warranty, but restoring is simple) to flash a radio > or = 2.08. The rest is very simple and not dangerous. So you wont need to backup the phones date. If you format your sd card you should backup the things on it as you know. Android works quite well. like a native android phone! try it!
A real dual boot doesnt exist but will come.
Do I erase anything with applying HSPL? Or do I just "patch" my curret radio?
First check your radio it needs to be 2.08.50 or above but ending in 50
if not you will need to flash see

Now that Nand is out for Android/HTC 2, I have a few questions. Right now my Android build running off sim card works perfectly so I'm debating Nand.
1. With the Nand bootloader, will we eventually be able to use it to run Windows Phone 7 if it gets ported. Basically I'm curious if by installing Android on the Nand if we are losing the ability to run other OSes
2. Can we ever go back to the stock HTC rom once we install android nand? I'm sure your wondering why in the world would I want to do that, but its a nice safeguard to always be able to go back to the rom you got the phone with.
3. What is the closest Nand build you think to the Froyostone Desire rom sim build?
Thanks
When you flash oryginal HTC rom with RUU you delete android nand all magldr...
So you can back to stock rom whenever you want...
Task29 removes Magldr and android so that you can flash any rom you wish

Under my expirience with kaisers, NAND can be partitioned, and magdlr theoretically can make and load multiple partitions, cotulla mentioned it:
"Future developerment:
*planned to add Haret's startup.txt support for Android SD
*planned to add support of Android boot images (zImage + initrd.gz in raw file)
*fast boot support (?)
*support of fixed partitions layout with ability to reflash any partition
*WM65 NAND boot with any rom (?)
*WM65 NAND boot with special designed roms for MAGLDR boot.
*support of WPH NAND boot"
Thanks for your replies, I think I'm going to wait a few weeks as the roms get updated (I know I've seen alot of g sensor forum posts) I think its exciting we finally have this option and that we can still go back to stock if necessary.

Unable to load American Android 2.3 on HTC HD2.
Downloaded the American Android 2.3 for TMOUS->Extracted Android folder to blank SD card /sdcard/Android->Opened up file manager on HTC HD2 /sdcard/Android and ran clrcad.exe got the untrusted popup clicked okay->Ran haret.exe got popup again clicked okay then saw a few white command lines (maybe 5) then the green HTC logo appears and sits there for ever. I let it sit for 30 min and no change had to pull the battery and restart windows. Phone is up to date only difference might be is it has been unlocked through T-Mobile. Does anyone know how to avoid this?
Ergh
I even tried HSPL3 and that didn't help... I just want the American Android 2.3 Gingerbread to load on my HTC HD2.. WTF!
Im having the same problem as well. I did the fat32 primary partition, on a clean sd card, ill wait for 30 minutes before i give up. some one please help, i got the desire hd rom running but would like to see what the gingerbread 2.3.3 is like.
Did you flash a new radio rom?
SO, you are going from WIn 6.5 to Android just by haret ? You cannot
If I was you I would start all over flashing HSPL 3, then flash Radio 2.15, then install Magldr 1.3, then copy the zip file to sd card and install. It's as easy as drinking a glass of water.
Be sure you chose SPL 2.08.HSPL and NOT SPL 2.80 when you flash HSPL 3

Ok first off what valv507 is mistakenly thinking you are trying to run Andriod from NAND. When you flashed MAGLDR you wiped your ROM from your HD2. This is why you can not get past MAGLDR it needs a ROM to boot.
You will have to reinstall your Windows Mobile ROM (hope you dide not loose too much data ) make sure it is a 3.14 ROM as they are the best for running Android from SD. Also make sure you have the 2.15.50.14 radio or atleast the 2.14.50.02 radio, the 2.15.50.14 radio is the best though. Also reformat your SD card again but use the Panisonic software to format it as most people say it is better than the Windows software. You can download it here. Make sure you do a full wipe and format using Fat 32. Then place all of your files and stuff from your back up back on your SD card including your Adroid build. then try to boot the Android again.
Put your HD2 into bootloader to reflash your Win Mo ROM. Hold down the volume down button while powering on your HD2 to get to bootloader and make sure you see USB in the white bar of bootloader before you flash the ROM.

What if I just want to run Android from NAND? At this point I just want to flash Gingerbread 2.3 on there but want the best version of that with the fewest bugs. Do you have any links to such a ROM? How would I go about flashing it? Thank you for the help in advance.
If you do a YouTube search you cab find a "how to install " video for installing NAND Android GB 2.3.2 on the HD2, it also has links to ROMs, Radios and MAGLDR 1.13. I installed it in about 15 mins after d/ling the specified files and I have only had a HD2 for 3 days. Very good video. I would link you to it but I am at work right now and I have the page saved to face on my home PC

If you want to go NAND Android just click on thr guide linked in my signature. I have links to two of the best guides on how to install NAND Android on your HD2 at the top of my guide. My guide is not a guide on how to install NAND Android but a guide to teach you what the things you need to install and run Android from NANN and WP7 are, what they do, and how to install them.
Also I use a non HTC Sense Gingerbread ROM and I really like it click the link for Hyperdroid in my signature if you want to check it out.
Thanks! let me learn this knowledge may.

What exactly are you asking here? Do youi want to know how to enter bootloader?
If so you just hold your volume down button down while powering on your HD2, this brings up the multicolor bootloader screen. From bootloader you can connect your HD2 to your computer wait for Serial to change to USB and then flash what ever you are wanting to flash radio, Windows Mobile ROM, splash screen, MAGLDR, and cLK. Click on my guide in my signature to get even more knowledge.
it is possilbe to have magldr installed running whatever NAND os you want.. and still boot ACA from sdcard.
the first post of the ACA thread has all the details you need to accomplish this.

to run it from nand you go to 10 services, than boot settings ,than select android sd ,than go to 10 again than select boot settings ad sd dir than select the android folder make sure there is not another folder named android, than go to ad sd nand and it will load. it tooked 15 minutes but he did say it would take long.
I took the same steps as the OP did and I'm experiencing the same problem. I am not planning to go through NAND and would like to stick with the SD build but it will not load. Any suggestions?
I'm using the latest American android build. Here is what I did:
1. Copy ENTIRE android folder to sd. If you want a faster boot time you need to copy over a new data image since one is not included in this build. It will create one on first boot, but this takes longer.
2. Once you've done this run clrcad then haret and allow it to boot. Mine took about 15 min total boot time to first lock screen without a data img. And about 7 to 10 min with.
3. Once you see the first screen DO NOT touch it. Let it settle for about 10 min. After that it should shut it self down.
4. Turn phone back on and boot android again. Letting it settle again for a few minutes. After 5 or 10 min of letting it settle pick it up and enjoy your sexy gingerbread.
Also, on a side not magldr is used for booting from wp7 to android. Haret is what is used for booting android from wm6.5
Hope this helped.

Please I need Help
first I'm New on HTC
I bought HTC HD2
It's Has Android 2.2 But with too many bugs and hangging
I need to Upgrade but i dont know how , I'm Familiar with sonyericsson and now did'nt understand from this fourm
Please i need help by baby step and what is the best nand or sd card
please can any one help me?!?!?!?!
How did you manage to get Froyo running without knowing how to upgrade?...
Anw you can check out this HD2 toolkit thing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
that makes everything just as user friendly as it can get. To get your HD2 working on a new ROM, you need to:
1. Flash HSPL
2. Flash radio to 2.15.xxx, unless your radio is 2.15.xx already...
3. Install Magldr/cLK (You'll need some drivers from Android SDK to install cLK, so I suggest just go for Magldr)
4. Install Clockworkmod Recovery
5. Choose a ROM (XD XD)
6. Flash the ROM using CWM (every ROM is different, so follow instructions on the ROM page)
It's also advisable that you perform Task 29 (wipe) before installing a new ROM, to avoid any force close issues.
Btw, the HD2 rarely hangs, and if yours does so quite often you should be suspecting that the hardware is a bit screwy, and it's time for repairs...
really thnk you for your help
i'm familiar with sony ericsson and know little about android and need rom more than 2.2
but please all i need from you to advice me that i use sd card method or nand?!?!?wich better?!?!
I think you bought your HD2 with Android?
The HD2 has normally Windows Mobile 6.5.
If you wanna use WM6.5 AND Android (to switch between WM and Android), you should use an SD Build.
If you just wanna have Android as your main OS, you should use a NAND Build (recommended).
How to install NAND Builds is described in the Threads of the NAND build you wanna have.
Hi guys... i am in the process of installing hardspl on my phone...do i need to flash a new radio aswell????...i currently have
Rom version 3.14.206.1
Radio version 2.15.50.14
spl-3.03.0000
also when i install hard spl do i need to uninstall the current spl or does it get overwritten?????
no. run hspl4, choose 2,08,hspl, all ready for droid. (unless u are wanting to run sd card android, in which case you dont need hspl, only for changing the winmo rom, radio is still fine)
Hi...yes i am wanting to run android from sd card...you said in that case i wont need hard spl??...I am still unable to boot android from sd card... i thought i HAD to have hard spl??
i installed a rom called mccm hd v6..after selecting clrad and hacket i get a white splash screen with green htc logo...nothings happening after that...i also have the latest windows rom aswell...my spl is 3.003...please help guys!!!
no, only for nand android. sd android is running on top of winmo, so doesnt care about the spl.
However, ive never run sd android, im just telling you what i 'think' to be true, it wont hurt to try 2.08.hspl, BUT, since you have a regular hd2, (3.14.206.1 is o2, i think?) then setting 2.08.hspl will cause the 3.14 winmo rom to stop working properly, become unstable and report only 50 or so meg free ram, , , so if you DO want to try setting hspl, you will need to change winmo roms too. (Another reason i believe you can run sd android without 2.08.hspl is because i know people run it alongside 3.14 roms which require 3.03 spl's )
If i were you, id consider looking into the problem android is throwing, , some take aaaaaaaages first boot, for instance, when they build teh data file, and i do mean aaaaages, tens of minutes for some roms,
ok...so how come i am unable to boot to the new android rom?...i did manage to install gingerbread by tytung a couple of weeks ago...was having problems with that...after i uninstalled it i can no longer re-install it!!!!...i have done 2 fresh installs but its not booting it up anymore...strange...
dunno, sorry, i never got sd android to boot either, tried on maybe a dozen different occasions, a few hours each time,, and only got it to work once, and it caused me to hard reset next time i booted, cos winmo wouldnt boot, so i left it alone till nand came along. (And at that time i would have been running 2.08.hspl too,,, so it wasnt that)
perhaps you have a leftover data folder or summin, from the old instal on your sd card? i know on nand builds if you dont clear out the data from the old one it can cause failed boots.
i have formatted the sd card a good few times!...dont know what it could be then....
