Is it possible? Multi Bootloader instead of original ROM?

Has anyone made it? It'd be great if someone has cooked such ROM.
Imagine that you could switch between WM, Android and Linux. Or a port of iphone os for WM device.
Ohh, and good would be to have Symbian or BB OS ported, too!

sorry but keep on dreaming, that never will happen...
android is being ported and propably be bootable directly someday, but all the others...no. They are made for a completely different architecture, so it won't be possible

While ports iPhone OS, BB OS, and Symbian are absolutely out of the question, there are some potential ways they are looking at to natively boot Android. The most recent one would have to be here, and it makes use of code injection into the original SPL in order to boot Android directly, but it's still just an idea for the moment.

The Phone with the storage to include so many operation systems at once is yet to be invented....
...and besides... why would anyone want to downgrade his WM phone?

Right now i'm using wm 6.5 , liunix and hopefully will get android running in my phone (thanx to the hard work of the developers) but i can not book into liunix straight after soft reset... so has to go in wm6.5 and start it manually... I'm using HTC Universal....

Well it can boot from sd card.... and you can use one os at a time...

[Q] Android as primary OS

Hi all,
This has been asked a few months ago, before any working ported ROM.
Now that ported ROMs are working smoothly, which I think means there's no (serious) compatibility issue, why I can't just download one of Desire ROMs (stock or cooked), flash my HD2, and have Android as my primary OS?
Thanks.

Well ive you'd read the forums, you would have found that devs are working very hard, to make an Android build on NAND.
NAND means that you can flash it to your internal memory, which will (correct me if im wrong) remove windows and install android as your main OS.
Pls dont ask when this will be possible, nobody knows, only that the devs are working very hard, and its expected to launch somewhere this month, or next month, but nothing is sure!
Gr.

If you read around the forums a little bit, you'd realise that the devs are getting/have got NAND working on the HD2.....
just be patient and it'll come out eventually....
-_-

You can't "just" download desire roms and flash because it's not the rom what is preventing the flashable android from working.
You need a bootloader that can boot that android rom from the hd2 hardware and also drivers and kernel suitable for hd2 are needed.
People are working on it and it is almost done. You just have to wait. AFAIK the bootloader is called MAGLDR and it is a replacement for the SPL/HSPL on your phone. It is capable of booting winmo 6.5, wp7 from internal memory and android/linux from internal memory or sd card.
But this is a work in progress. It is not released yet.

[Q] Which Android port is the most stable for HTC HD2?

Hi Friends!
I have had experience in the past with iPhone's and iOS, but now I am putting some hands at Android phones.
Actually, I have a HTC HD2 with a poor operating system, which is Windows... I want to port Android there, and my question is, which one of the Android OS is the most stable in this phone. I know there are various versions of Android available for the HD2, but I am looking for the Android that will perform flawlessly and is the easiest to port (straightforward, using tool, not coding), I don't want to put my head in danger on the first attempt.
Which of the Androids works best on HTC HD2, and what tools do I use to make the port for that particular OS version.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
PS: provide me with direct links please!
IMPORTANT: by default this phone was factory locked to T-Mobile US, now I am using it outside the us in another country, but I did not perform anything on it to change the radio settings, the person that gave me the phone has unlocked it...If I port Android to this phone will it risk the radio settings (I would not like the lose the possibility of using it with other carriers), or porting Android does not mess with the radio at all...
For future reference, what type of Driver/Tool is required to have installed so the phone can interact with computer?

If you used the search tool or Google you could have easily found 100+ threads about the best ROM.
I would say use a CM7 or MIUI ROM. There are tonnes, don't be lazy, I CBA to post links (yes, that is very hypocritical of me).
As far as I know Android won't mess with your carrier stuff
To install just download the HD2 NAND Toolkit, install HSPL, MAGLDR, CWM then ROM (see this guide).

I tend to understand that he wants to PORT and not INSTALL an Android ROM. Isn't that correct?
If that is what you are asking then Gingerbread non-sense is currently the easiest to port. you can use the kitchen found within the development forum.

I wasn't too sure, but I assumed that the use of the word 'port' was simply a misunderstanding, in the same way that many people say that they have 'flashed' an SD Android build.
@OP, If I was wrong then I take back what I said about not searching and stuff cos this is clearly not something heavily discussed and there isn't as much information available about it.

In my experiance hyperdroid cm7 has good speed stability, and battry life. This is a minimal rom with not a lot of fluff. If you like iphone fluff i would suggest ndt miui stable, miui has iphone simple fluff with andorid power, while cm7 has extended power user features like cpu controll built in.
to learn how to do this look for a newbie thread. They walk you form stock with being locked down to android and unlocked for flashing new roms.

I would go for hyperdroid it's fast and stable.

Samsung Spica Update

Hi,
I am from India and bought a galaxy spica in early 2010. Now I am trying to update it to froyo but Kies Mini gives me an Error saying Firmware not registered. Can anyone help me Please. Alos if I want to insert a new ROM in the phone, how can I do It?.
Help and Advice really appreciated.

spica has not official update for froyo. You have to make unofficial update for froyo..
Sorry for my abd english ^^

Spica is a very peculiar device due to its hardware. There is a full developers site for it, have a look to forum[dot]samdroid[dot]net (sorry, I'm new and not allow to post external links)
Currently I'm on Gingerbread 2.3.7 (based on Cyanogenmod 7), but still has some TODO's, like finishing Camera (it works but without a custom preview) or Bluetooth audio (for car hands free, for example), but it is a very smoth version, and under continuos development. I really recommend it.
Also you will find many flavours of Froyo, with all drivers working.
Regards.

[Q] Reboot HTC HD2 to WM 6.5 from android 2.2

Hi guys, I'm pretty much a newbie to this all and was wondering if anyone could help me get my HD2 back to its original settings of being on WM6.5.
I recently upgraded it to 2.2 by NAND ( no idea what that means) but I was successful on getting it up and running on android.
Im now trying to be more adventurous and see if I can boot the rom to 4.4 but just for safe measures, I'd like to know how I can get the system back. Also if anyone can post the links of what Id need to download to get it to 4.4 and how I need to do that from 2.2 would be great. I don't know if I could just upload another android version on top of the 2.2 or if I would have to remove that first.
Thank you in advance

In future search before posting. To flash a higher version of Android (although 4.4 doesn't exist yet and probably never will) check out the guide in my sig. To flash a stock ROM just download one from the HTC website and flash the RUU in the bootloader.

I tried looking for previous posts that would hep, but this stuff is completely going over my head and I am still determined to get my HTC on an upgraded android version. What android version would you recommend? anything more up-to-date than 2.2 would be great (with everything working, I have read posts where some people have had problems with the camera not working)
I have had a look on the HTC website and they no longer support HD2 :-/ How can I restore it? *confused* I'm a complete newbie and a noob, yup both, but I will not be giving up
Further guidance would be great.

I think a JB ROM would be good if you want functionality and the latest version. If you want stability then 2.3 is probably best. The only real solution is to try a few ROMs out and see what you like best.
