Sorry to disturb, guys. I m basically a old user of htc hd2. My friend rooted the phone for me. And it is in a state of dual boot. Recently , i found that it is starting to consume a large memory.
So i decided to flash in a new rom only allow android worked.
android version now is 2.3.5. I also cant determine the version of phone.
This phone is bought in singapore.
mod version: cope and warredb present: American Android GB235 CyanogenMod7.1 HTC LEO 080711
I m a very new member and seriously have no idea on what to do with this phone. i know backup before flash.
Alrdy looking at the forum for 6 hours but i still dun have any idea what to do.
*please teach in detail, i really need it*
So, guys please gv recommendation, tanx a lot.
Try out the guide in my sig, it's the easiest to follow in my opinion. This will remove Windows Mobile, and replace it with Android. You'll have to choose a ROM from the NAND Development section first, and adjust the partition sizes mentioned in the guide in accordance with the ROM you want to flash.

1. See noob guide on Flashing NAND Android rom (link in my signature)
2. You can't back it up, but there are lots of places where you can download the rom. check out the WM6.5 development thread to see if you can get a download link.
3. To me NAND is far more smooth in operation than running off of sd card. Running of sd card I guess gives the flexibility of having 2 os's that you can switch between if for some obscure reason you would want to do that (ie dual boot)
4. Just flash the stock wm rom back
5. No, it won't lock the device again. (AFAIK - 99.9% sure )
My current favourite rom is also linked in my signature.

ClydeB1's answers are all true...I'd lyk 2 add something to answer number "2"
U can't completely back up ur WinMo rom...u can re-download and install though...Hweva u can backup n transfer data lyk sms, contacts, call logs etc from WinMo to Android using Sprite Migrate which can be found here.
Could you please quide me ?

#2 - Try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789506
#3 You will find all info needed wrt running Android off of sd card in this forum. Check out the first sticky which will have links to the useful posts to give guidance.
5# AFAIK no it won't. (Have never had to do an unlock and then reflash so can't confirm this one)
Hi , I have HD2 and I want to install android OS on it. I found a lot of solutions on this website like booting from SD Card and NAND solutions, but I have one question. Is there any NOR version installation and in general which is better NOR or NAND ? Sorry for this maybe general question but I need help and I would also wanted to consult with you . Thanks , every help is appreciated.
Hi there mate.!
Never heard anything about the NOR version that you are talking sorry
There are 2 ways to install Android OS in your device and they are posted in sub-forums in here and i think you have already saw them
The SD version is if you don't want to leave wm6.5 but wanna give Android a try!
(thats the easiest way to install it)
And the NAND version if you have decided that you want Android OS in your mobile and ofc Android will have much better performance in NAND than SD
PS: my opinion is if you don't want mw6.5 anymore go read some posts and install the NAND version cause you will have much much more performance
I hope i helped
there are no nor versions, you on about running a version in ram ?
Hi and thanks for a quick reply and more than helpful answers. I need to ask you several more things. Since I want to install NAND version, because of the performance, I need the latest version . I saw several instructions for 2.2 and 2.3 android. Can you give me the link to the 2.3 newest installation link. Also is there any known issue after installation (like no wireless network, or some applications doesn't work...)
best off looking in the dev section, depends on whether you want a sense rom or not

As Richy said there are sooo many roms for you to try
The 2.3.5 rom for me is the most stable if you want your phone to work 100% 24/7 with no battery consume!
Now its up to you if you want Sense 2.2 or 3 if you want MIUI or Gingerbeard or or or or or
For me it goes like this :
1:Go to NAND sub-forum
2: Find a good and updated Rom for your mobile (at the front of each title its the release day) enter it and read the full description the dev gives you and to all the steps!!!!
3: for correct use of your wifi,gps,etc.....find a good kernel (Most devs gives you a kernel of their choise with their ROM)
Thats all you need to know...all you have to do is read the hole post carefully
And just an opoinion..if you want a fast and stable (not a fancy one) ROM go for a MIUI and a good one is this Mwakious
and this is Kefir's Kernel
Good luck and if you need anythink PM me

When the T-Mobile version is mentioned, it is purely indicating that it is a TMOUS HD2 with 1024 MB ROM and the T-Mobile logo on the top. The carrier doesn't matter

Are you sure that carrier doesn't matter , US has different frequencies , and this is T-mobile US (TMOUS). If the carrier doesn't matter ,can I then install in switzerland on orange HD2 according to the procedure for T-Mobile new gignerbread ?
If not can someone give me some links for my HD2 please. I searched NAND 2.3 android but some of the topics are from 2010 and some of them after installation have various types of problems.
Thanks !
Hi there, I was exactly where you were 3 weeks ago. I picked up a second HD2 as my WM HD2 phone is heavily loaded with apps and files etc. and I did not want to risk stuffing it. I played with a couple of versions with HTC Sense but then tried TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 and found it smaller, faster and more stable + much slicker than WM.
After just 3 days and a few new apps like Swype and Wi-Fi tethering, I cut over to droid forever. Next I will do my original HD2 to make it a mirror backup.

As long as you have a TMOUS phone, you can install the T-Mobile US version. As for the Android ROM, have you even looked in the NAND Development forums? There are tonnes of ROMs, none of them even remotely old, which work perfectly. Take Typhoon CM7 or Hyperdroid, for example.

so please help me to upgrade my android so that i can solve the wifi prob with out bricking my phone so that i can also get to use some new apps
please explain clearly i am a noob
thankyou
please also let me knwo if there is something like jailbreak and how to do it pls pls
Read the guides in my sig. All of them, including the new user one, HD2 terms one and finally the flashing the phone. There is no 'best ROM' since it's completely subjective. You can't 'jailbreak', only root (which you don't need to do on the HD2 anyway).
Hello
I am a completly newby relating to flashing Android to a HD2.
I've read several articles/postings but still am not sure, what I should exactly do. My device still has Windows Mobile 6.5 on it. And i want to permanently replace it with Android (only, no dual boot).
Should i go for NAND in that case?
Is there a completly tutorial available for a completly noob like me, how to securely flash Android on a HD2?
The ROM should be fast with a good battery life, dont need to have an overloaded device...
Thanks so much
Dominik
