Not necessarily, You will prob have to repartition the nand to new sizes for the ics build you want to use.

Q&A, not here
Yes, just repartition CWM as necessary then flash. Don't bother with a full wipe, it just wastes time and contributes to bad blocks if you overuse it.

Moved to proper forum.

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
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
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.

He posted in the right place. Development forums are only for posting builds/roms. But you can ask questions inside of a already posted topic about said build.

What exactly do u mean doesnt need an sdcard. Meaning doesnt run off of the sdcard? If so any desire build in the nand development section will work. Pick one that suits you best. Try segios build...its really nice.

AFAIK unless you have a 1024 HD2, you end up with something like 5mb free space on a DesireHD build without using an SD card. This is possibly why it hung (hanged?). I remember reading that if you do have a 1024 HD2 then Desire HD builds will work without an SD card.
Anyway, desire ROMs are small enough and there are others out there. I'm currently using a Hyperdroid GB ROM and I can remove the SD card without issues. Phone reports...:
Storage Space:278mb
Free Space: 84.85mb.
...I have loads of apps installed as well.
Hope this helps
Hyperdroid build ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
This is what I use ATM
DesireZ/HD -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962600
I used this ROM for a long time. Good build that uses SD card as data partition unless you are a lucky one with a 1024HD2
thanks for ur answer so there is nothing to do with the leo512
but i have another question to ask
is there a desire rom that have the newer sense found in the desire hd roms?
thanks for ur help currently using derie stock rom by dft
There won't be as that's what makes the DHD ROM's different compared to the Desire ones. Why would you wanna remove the SD card during boot anyway? Btw, I recommend the DHD Revolution build by Arif-ali. Seems to work quite well.
Currently I am running gauner's dhd rom and do not need an SD card and have 50 something MB free internal memory...
Edit: EU Leo with 512MB
Internal : 221 MB / Free: 57,5 MB

Can HD2 run Desire HD stock ROM?

Guys,
I am very new with HTC phone, plan to get a HD2 phone hardware, will not use WM 6.5, want to run Android. I know it can run many custom ROM here.
Just want to know if HD2 can run Desire HD stock ROM?
sorry, if this has been asked before.
Thanks

Hi,
Yes,stock ROMS are available.
Please check here:
http://android.hd2roms.com/
no you cannot just download a desire hd rom and flash it to your hd2, they have to be ported across first so im not sure what the above is saying
the above too advance for me, is there a easy way of doing this, like sony phone come with pc software, few clicks wait and restart, then you got flashed lastest ROM.
cheers

So I'm guessing you've never heard of CWM?
What he's saying is, you can't just download the desire HD's stock rom, and flash it and expect it to work. E.g. if you go to the HTC website and download the latest desire HD rom there, and try to flash it to the HD2, it won't work.
What you have to do is go into our android development forum, either sd or NAND, and look for a desire HD rom there to flash.
This guide well explain all the quirks of the HD2 NAND world.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
you should just read the guides on how to flash android and take a look in the android nand section and all your questions would be answered.
if the above is too advanced you should have bought an desire hd cause this site only showed available android roms for hd2 and has nothing to do with flashing.
just a collection sorted by the newest updated build with a link to it's xda thread.

Easiest upgrade from original HD2 Android?

I need a simple upgrade from the original HD2 Android 2.2 to a stable 2.3.x version.
Can anyone suggest one? (This is not a "which is the best ROM" request.)
I just want one that is the simplest and working out of the box to flash from the original MGLDR 2.2 Android on a TMOUS HD2. I'm flashing for an older friend for whom I installed the original some time ago, and he asked me to help him get Gingerbread, and I'm a little 'out of the loop' on the HD2 Android developments and particulars, so a simple flash is best. Is there a simple CWM flashable version for TMOUS that doesn't need to manually mess with partition prep, etc.?
Stability is more important than bleeding edge in this case, so any 2.3.x build is fine.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

If you're looking for a sense rom, I'd suggest going with one of the dhd roms (You'll have to use usb flasher to get the partition on), otherwise the simplest would be either:
This -> NexusHD2
This -> Typhoon CM7
or This -> HyperDroid CM7
These three roms need less system space than sense roms, so if you don't mind having a lot of empty space in your system partition, all you need to do is flash the zip using cwr.
My personal recommendation is the Typhoon Rom (2nd rom), it's very stable and up to date. Also, you can use either Titanium Backup/MyBackup apps to backup the phone's current apps.
I would recommend HyperDroidCM7v3.1. It's android 2.3.5 for both cwm and magldr. When I found it I stopped searching, and I am never gonna try anything else! (well, maybe. But you know what I mean hehe )

From Android 4.0.4 "back" to something lower

Hi everyone!
My HD2 was recently "upgraded" from Windows to Android. Version 4.0.4, Cyanogen 9-20120609-UNOFFICIAL, Kernel 2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r3.
I have, as well, one HTC Desire, but on Android 2.3.3. And I am very happy and feel confortable with it. I'd like to standardize and would like to know if I can "sort of go back" and install 2.3.3 on my HD2 as well. What do you think of CoreDroid_HD2_V3.7_Sense3.5_RV?
Is it possible? How can it be done?
Thank you for your assistance.

Just backup your data in Titanium Backup, flash a new partition size in CWM and flash the new ROM.

CoreDroid 3.7 is a super awesome rom but i do not know for some odd reason it made my phone warm even on a standby mode, so I had to change it

Try using hyperdroid it's super fast and stable, but you won't have HTC sense. It's bare bones
