Ok, I've read every forum from here all the way to modaco and I'm still unable to flash my rom. I did everything right down to a T as far as walk throughs, but Octans is not detecting my phone.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
I've changed the compatibility on Octans to XP SP3 and still no go
I'm running windows mobile 6.5 professional on the Omnia I920.
I really want to install Yardi's Custom Rom on my device but I'm starting to lose hope!
Please can someone help me out. I don't know what other info to put on here.
I installed VMWare 7 Workstation on my laptop. I also installed windows xp as a guest system.
So is there anyone who knows what I need to grab without going to modaco, because I am signed up with them, but it doesn't let me download anything that anyone posts as links. I have tried but have successfully failed.
I do plan on updating my xp to sp3 but I need to know everything I need to get my omnia i920 flashed to a kick butt rom.
Thanks in advance to everyone who can help.
What you need is available on modaco unfortunately.
Go here and read this thread www . modaco.com/content/i8000-omnia-ii-gsm-rom-discussion/296019/flashing-using-64bit-windows-7/
I have attached the drivers you need to install. It is not an easy task but once it's done it's done. If you need help I'll try to help you, but please read the thread first.

Actually I got it working on windows xp sp3 installed on vmware...and have flashed my phone prob twenty times now lol. Only issue I have now is I was using Ninja's rom but I couldn't receive picture messages under it. So I flashed back to stock. Well I hate stock. Too much bloatware. I liked your rom AMD but it had some programs that I didn't want on there..and some that I did want on there. Cooking a rom for myself is impossible I've tried every direction on this site and modaco's but no luck.
Anyway I can get you to cook me a custom rom with some stuff taken off and some stuff added in?
Sure. Give me a list.
I downloaded your new rom...I like how it looks. Ok, if you could base the rom off your current release but take off the following if you can:
Bing, Windows Live, Ferrari GT Evolution, Esmertec Jbed (don't even know what i can use that for lol), Pim Backup, O2 Flash, Sktools, and within office mobile can you delete all but word mobile?
I would like to have the bubble breaker game added back in, along with the fm radio, and since I am really not good at figuring things out yet, I love titanium is there a way to get it to work on your rom? And is it easy to put themes on here too? I tried some themes called colored lighting and it crashed the rom on ninja's.
Otherwise I am good ha ha. Thanks for trying to do this, sure wish I could figure out how to cook...i don't think it'll ever happen But I like your roms best outta Ninja's and Yardi. Yardi would be good, but she took the samsung keyboard out among other stuff I can't remember ha ha.
Thanks again. Can't wait to try it out!
I've built a LITE rom if you are interested in trying it before I release it.
also what is colored lightning? got a cab for it?
is the lite rom just a base rom minus the stuff you added to current version you have out? I would love to try it out colored lightning...is a theme from someone I don't have the cab anymore but I do have bluewave now...i found it here on xda...trying to find it for you
here is the link I don't know how to attach cab yet on here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558212
My Lite rom has many deletions. I have also deleted the samsung settings.
The titanium does work, are you looking for chome as well?
does your lite rom still have the samsung keyboard though. I really don't know much about chome..i know it modifies the titanium panels...so I guess that is a good thing to have as well
here is beta

It might just be me, but I'd never flash a phone thru VMWare, Unless of course you want to brick your phone.
Thank you so much. VmWare Workstation 7 is awesome. I installed windows xp sp3 on it...and it runs just like my windows 7 hp 64...only it runs on the desktop. It was much easier to flash thru that then through windows 7. I haven't bricked it yet thank goodness...never had any problems. I've flashed from yardi to your roms to ninja's...about 20 times already ha ha. Now i'm gonna check your lite rom out thank you so much for doing all this, I have been playing with your rom and it's darn new perfect except for the software I don't need..so I'll let ya kno what I think about your lite rom here in about 10 min or so
Ok, just tested your lite rom...looks good but I noticed you don't have the samsung keyboard in it Is there a cab available to put the xt9 keyboard back on...other than that I tested the mms and it worked..i gotta run through other tests but dude it looks sweet Let me know where I can get or how i can get samsung keyboard back on it.
Thanks again!
I hate to be such a pain about the rom...but I don't think the lite rom is going to work for me...I like almost all of the samsung stuff but I hate the verizon bloatware. I do like omarket, that is a neat app. I'm reflashing back to your other new release and if you get a chance to make a rom off it without the stuff i mentioned earlier and keeping the samsung keyboard and other stuff on it...it would be much appreciated. I would cook it myself but that would prob be the end of my phone ha ha.
I do like having 300mb free in the programs that was nice...sorry to keep bothering you.
I've been working on the Lite rom for a while, I'll get to the Base rom in a little while.
ok sounds great just let me know when you have one available for me to try. I do much appreciate it.
hacked up my lastest rom per your request. Let me know if it fits what your looking for.

awesome. going to give it a whirl here in about an hr. thank you so very much!
Hi!
I have the strangest question
My phone is reaaallly slow, so I figured I'd do a hard reset and reinstall everything.
My question is, what should I do
Basically I just want the latest version of windows mobile and HD2 updates. To get it really up to date
So can you give me any recommendations on what exactly I should update?
Thanks
The easiest way is probably to flash a custom rom..... one of the newer ones.
Should contain all the freshest updatey goodness and give the speed your looking for.......
Best thing to do is work out which apps you liked and what worked and do a hard reset back to factory spec and only install the apps you like...
After getting the phone most of us install every app that comes along, settling for a few that are essential... Hard resetting and fresh installs will help greatly...
Only go a custom rom if you really know what you are doing and only if you are dedicated to try several to find one that suits you...

I know I used to do so with my old telephone (TYTN II), but recently I spoke with a friend of mine (he has a HD2 too). He's really into computers etc, and he has the latest roms and everything. He told me that his phone is A LOT faster now.
The only thing is: I have no idea where to start. Just download the latest windows mobile? or should I download the latest HTC HD2 rom? Or both? In what order? Any other updates?

Before i went down the custom rom route i did modify a stock 1.66 rom so i can make a comparison here between as shipped stock, modded stock and custom 6.5.5. I can tell you that 6.5.5 is miles better, faster and if you get a custom rom with a newer version of sense that's even better.
Flashing custom roms has been covered so many times many people are bored of replying but i'll see what i can do in one post.
First you need a copy of HSPL3. Search for it, it will turn up. Don't ask how to install it. All you need to do is run the exe in the file you download.
Then you have a choice. You can either install and updated radio rom (will possibly improve signal and battery life but to find the best one for you and your area may take a couple of flashes and some testing) or just skip straight to the main event. I recommend that all new rom flashers use Energy 23569 standard sense 2.5 because it's fast, pretty lightweight and very close to a HTC stock rom in looks which makes it pretty easy to use. To install follow the instructions in the first couple of posts of the energy rom thread.
I also recommend that you have a look at leocpuspeed V4 and chainfire's 3D driver patch v2 (search for those). Once configured they will greatly improve the performance of the device running any rom you install and it's well worth it.
if you dont wanna go custom rom, i guess you could check see if you have all the latest updates from the HTC site, take it from there, only install apps to the device that need to be on the device such as tweaking apps and install everything else on the sd card, and get your self clean ram or bsb ram sweeper, will reclaim the ram for you from the programs you thought you may have closed but didnt really close.
Hi Guys & Gals.
I've searched through the forum and a few google pages but cant find a similar problem.
I got my Note and everything was hunky dory apart from a few bloatware programs.
Since I have moved over from a Desire and Desire S, I'm not a total n00b when it comes to rooting and flashing. Mostly thanks to how easy the developers here have made it!
So I rooted my Note mostly so I could install Titanium Backup(pro) and then I installed Root Uninstaller and took off a few bloat programs, like the Samsung Apps and the Cartoon game. The phone still worked fine and I didn't think much of it.
Since then I have found that the S Pen doesn't work. So I restored the apps best I could through Titanium Backup, but that hasn't worked.
So I thought I would have to get the original stock Rom and reflash. Which Is a little harder than I thought it would be. I found the thread linking to SamMobile where I tried to find the Kernel and the UK Orange stock rom. A little confused by it all trying to find the right version to be honest.
This is the position I am in now, installed the Pro version of Rom Manager wich didn't work. Rooted again and installed CWM, again it didn't work. So now I purchased Odin and tried that but it wont show any of the zip'd and unzip'd files that I have download in the inbuilt file explorer.
I would really appreciate anybodys help or suggestions as I'm at a bit of a loss!
Sorry to bump up my own thread, but its slowly working its way downvto the bottom of the board!
Mods, please delete thread as I have now placed on Q&A section as sticky requested.
Hi folks.
I've just been given this phone by a friend who has just upgraded to a Galaxy S2. I'm running a HTC Sensation myself but the handset looks like it should still be a useful upgrade for my daughter if I could get a custom ROM on it.
Almost all the DL links from the DEV sub-section seem down though. I did get Jazzman's ROM eventually but can anyone still playing with this device tell me if this is a good, bad or indifferent ROM to try. I don't want to waste time installing a bad'un.
I see from reading other threads that all custom ROMs seemed to have inherited a camera bug which could be partially fixed by reinstalling the default camera app (but no settings are ever saved). Did anyone ever get beyond that or did folks simply get newer phones and move on?
Lastly, if anyone still has a few of the old ROMS DL'd on their computer (Artos' anyone??) and could upload them somewhere for me and others to get access again, then that would be great.
Hoping someone can help. It's definitely too good to be binning it without trying something.....
Same Request , i need a stable and the best out there , any suggestions , cuz the stock on full of bugs....

Hey Crommy, did you upgrade to the latest stock rom? That really soves most of the issues with the device and is quite decent by itself.

there is no latest stock rom for me, i was using a EN-AR Rom B, the latest one is C with no Arabic support , so i downloaded brain master Manila , its Great !, it hangs 80 % less than the old one, Plus its faster,only issue found is the twitter tab when i login it says you are forbidden to use these account, at desktop and mobile browser the account logins normally.
do you have any idea how to install Arabic lang support for reading massages and contacts names?
Hi all
So like a few others I love the HD2... I keep it charged and in my Bergan as an emergency phone/GPS when out in the mountains etc.. And even play the odd game or two to save battery on my primary phone...
But what I would like to do if play around with WM/ANdroid roms to find ones that really fit my needs... Troubleis finding a WORKING download link. Thats where this thread comes in..
Could people post the links they have for WORKING DOWNLOADS??? would be a big help. and if I can find enough interest and downloads I will even download and host them ALL in one location so everyone can find them quickly etc.. If a dev has them still please pm me and will download and host them for you.
hoping for a positive response
regards
Lohtse
CrossbowHD2 1.0 is a WM6.1 ROM that still has working links: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071368
The mirrored link is still active as of 06/27/2019
There is a Mediafire link with stock HTC cab files. It still works as of 06/27/2019.
Here it is: https://www.mediafire.com/?qb8yp58ctlhu8
That's the only one I could find that still has active download links.
The problem is, most files for WM were stored on Rapidshare(down since 2014), D-h.st(down since ~2016?), 4pda.ru(they still exist, but they cleaned house a few years ago, and got rid of many files that didn't have much traffic), and Megaupload has been gone since 2012 now.
Then we have the personal sites from many of the devs, since those devs no longer develop for WM, those sites(and files stored on them) have been taken down.
So, the original files, and their mirrors are gone, sadly, most of the ROM's have been lost forever. It's pretty bad that we have spectacularly failed to preserve a part of our digital history like this(a minor part, but still a part nonetheless.)

Thanks

I have been playing around with my old HD 2 in the last few days and I really appreciate these ROMs. Thanks so much, I had been fed up as so many of the old links had gone and I had tidied up my hard drives over the years and got rid of so many ROMs. Glad to see you had the sense to keep them.
Cheers

Thanks man. You just created a good software source for this old but legend phone. I play with mine every now and then. It feels tiny in hands comparing to my nexus 6 .
I remember on 2011 i went to a mobile accessories shop in egypt to get a cover for this phone , all the guys who saw it astonished saying : what is this GIANT phone ! . :laugh:
hi i'm new here
hi, I literally just began here but I respect this thread, my sister just gave me an htc hd2 that says with htc sense on the back cover, when I first booted it up surprisingly she says someone "unlocked her phone from the sim for her, but there was way more to that story, this htc hd2 was rooted, but unfortunately the os it was running was very outdated and I couldn't even access the marketplace or let alone the browser apk was missing and so began the long days and nights attempting to update the os to something I can play my favorite mobile game avabel with , but then I somehow ended up removing the nand android rom and then eventually I got stuck withy nothing bu.t clockwork mod recovery and magldr, with most of the links busted around like almost the entire internet I thought it was high time I introduce myself to xda, now I'll just say, i'm pretty sure I don't know what I am getting into or what I am doing, but I've been awake 3 days straight next to a coffee table, and since then, I was able to get twrp 2.2.0 installed, clk is installed, all that's missing is a custom rom, unfortunately it seems I am like a decade late to the party and there's a superpandemic outside, and despite all that, this hd2 may just walk...yet again. Seriously though does anyone know of any Actual working links as of 2020 june? preferably any without malware but if I have to sacrifice windows might be worth it, because at this point, i'm feeling all in, I really want to see this phone operate like normal again with twrp and clk, seems extremely beneficial. I really like the idea someone has posted this because it definitely needs a second thought , I see so many people invested time and hard work into this, even on GitHub there are still remains of hundreds of lines of code, and I'm personally just really curious and interested of the idea, Can a decade old phone still be rooted and working? if not on a new rom maybe an old one might still function? most of the rom links have been defunct and some even have some pretty nasty malware, seriously all these viruses is really dangerous, not mention annoying, but that's common know how. I found some files, I might try and create a spot somewhere that will hopefully preserve itself where people can at least install the toolkit and the nbh/nbr/ruu file that got me to twrp, I feel a bit closer now than I did being stuck with just clockwork mod, my two biggest roadblocks right now are the fact that cyanogen mod no longer has their old roms functional and I don't know what to do to properly setup and install a custom rom other than navigating the recovery to install the zip file it sits in but every time I try to do so twrp replies back checking the md5 file, no file found, the line immediately after that just says error etc. which makes me wonder, is it just me? or is this md5 error something deeper? or am I just downloading the wrong stuff, some installations seemed to almost work because instead of that error it replies back what phone the rom was actually intended for. I believe from those statistics and digging that htc hd2 may have run out of working rom links that actually work or my phone has a program or some left over data lodged in the filesystem somewhere ,that is preventing me from installing properly, it's driving me a bit bananas, but I feel like there is something more to this than I thought, most youtube videos just show someone either using twrp to flash the zip or the adb to flash twrp itself (unrelated) but the main struggle is what is this md5 check? and how do I fix it? or is the rom just supposed to automatically run? but yet again, unfortunately I canot find any working links because I don't understand if my phone is just malfunctioning due to something left unchecked?(possible sd card corruption?) or if these links I've downloaded from aren't including good data I can use to load and use the rom. any help with working rom links would truly be appreciated, and with much gratitude I leave this post here, my apologies for the long message by the way, been writing a lot of school papers today,

Hi, If I remember clearly, TWRP has a settings page where you can enable "Check for MD5" or something like that.
Just uncheck/disable that, and try flashing a rom.

Hey guys, did anyone got NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V3.0b.zip ?
Or perhaps NexusHD2-KitKat-CM11.0_V4.7.zip ?
Very sad that developers and forum mods aren´t interested in archiving awesome modding history.
There´s no working download link for any of those CM rom´s avaiable and seems like almost all source code for hd2 went away aswell.
Tytung has 3 repositories online, it´s missing almost everything needed to build a rom + if i was able to successfully build, it probably would still have no aroma installer for the very important steps to set up data2ext or the like.
With my little knowledge, this is definitely too complex at the moment.
Need more skills first
