I have been reading this site everyday in about a month now - and probably every guide and How to:s.. But I still don`t get it..
I have a HTC HD2 (bought in Norway). I have ROM version 3.14 .. and Radio
ver. 2.15.50..
My question is: I cant find any guide that support this OS version and I have tried downgrade it, but I still cant get the same version on my HTC as in the guides.
I have also problem to find an android that suits my phone. I really want to try android, but I dont understand how to.. and what to choose.
I m sorry for my english skills and if I have missed a thread that is explaining my problem.
Can somebody explain how to do this in an easy way for me?
Best regards Lisa

As you have the right radio version all you need to do is download any SD or RAM version of Android

Thank you very much for answering me
I have downlaoded Android Loader v6.0 Final for HD2 and put it in the device memory. (like copy / past - the file is still unpacked)
Should I unpack this file before downloading a SD version of Android?
I have seen many screenshoots of different androids, is it possible to tell me what to choose? I just want one that works, and if possible norwegian language.
Best regards Lisa

If you want to run Windows Mobile and have Android load from within Windows Mobile (so you can reboot back into Window Mobile if needed) then first you want to download an Android Build and extract it to your storage card. *THIS* build is very stable and fast and its the one I used before switching to Android on NAND. Extract the contents of the download file to your pc and then copy the 'Android' folder to the ROOT of your storage card so you will have a folder in the top level of your storage card called 'Android'.
Then run the Android loader v6 app and follow the install instructions. When asked for the folder you want to select \Storage Card\Android (or whatever Storage Card is called in your Roms language.
After you have gone through that you will have a link in your start menu that you can click on to start Android running. It may take a few minutes longer the first time its run but after that its alot quicker. The first time you run Android though you want to shut it down, reboot into Windows Mobile and run the android link again. This is needed to make it work properly.
However if you want to install Android to NAND (internal memory) so that it boots straight into Android and gets rid of Windows Mobile altogether then just click on the guide in my sig and follow the instructions there.
Mark.
right im a total nooob at this but i cant seem to install a rom from this site, i have read all how to but still no joy, i am using magdlr copying the zip to the sd card, ad recovery, install from zip etc, but all i get is a hanging android device starting screen, i have used the easy android app but still nothing? what am i doing wrong, please help,

This is the developement section, for questions (and answers ) there´s the Q&A forum.
I met your problem before. Finally i tried to flash ANDROID_BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_Desire HD A2SD V23 then success.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16270840&postcount=3
Now I can flash anything what I want.....
Also you're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it. Some more info may help people help you with your problem.
Since you are new take a moment to read the Forum & Marketplace Rules. Don't worry too much about posting in the wrong section (as long as you post in the correct sections next time)...a mod will move it to the correct section soon.

Didn´t mean to be rude
So now let´s hear, what setup you have, what you wanted to install and how you did it, i am sure we´ll find out where the problem lies.
I think you haven´t partitioned the NAND correctly, let us see a link to the build you are using as well.
What about your Radio ROM?
Did you partitioned your SD card corretcly?
What about your partition layout?
Simple sequence
1. Install HardSPL 2.08
2. Install Radio 2.15.50.14
3. Install MAGLDR 1.13 bootloader
4. Install MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery
5. Install your preferred ROM

Then you obviously havent even read teh roms instructions properly because all the roms that need a partition specifically tell you to partition your nand and what partition to use.
Also if you are having issue installing a rom you should at least tell us which rom you have been trying to install.
And in future try and put a title that makes sense. Putting "help" doesnt describe your topic in any way. Titles need to be descriptive. If you want to say help, say it in your topic.
one quick note, when formatting your card, set the allocation unit size to what is set by the rom builder. forgot to what i set mine, but that can cause a lot of problems.
Hi,
After reading many many threads & watching dozens of videos, & downloading & trying loads of files I still can not get my HTC HD2 to multi-boot ,
The only result so far is to get it to reboot to a lot of minuscule text , way too small to read.
I would like to use the latest android gingerbread & linux ( & maybe xp ?) etc without screwing up / overwriting the windows 6.5 mobile. (it is my primary phone / pda but can not get software for some tasks these days )
Phone is the 512 flash version
Please can someone post simple precise step by step instructions to do the above, including the files needed & how to recover from snafu's.
Many thanks in advance.

Extremely simple. Make sure you have the latest stock ROM 3.14 or a custom ROM, but you must have a .50 Radio. Download Android SD Rom. Place the Android folder on the SD card. Run clrcad and haret. Success.
Thank You, please can someone post links to the exact files required ?
Thanks again
M
So you have still WinMo6.5 on NAND with default loader or you have changed loader already (MAGLDR, cLK)?
What radio do you have? It´s written on boot - those red signs on low left corner. You must have 2.*.50.* one.

No 'exact files required' exist, just find a ROM, download it, place the Android folder on the root of your SD card and enjoy.

Thanks, sorry to point this out but "download a file & use it" is not too helpful ( WHICH files & FROM WHERE? & in What ORDER ?) - have downloaded lots of files & used them , only succeeded in B**ring the phone to the point of a factory reset & many many crashes.
Sorry about this but I am not an experienced phone hacker/ modifier , just need something that works & works well - any help is appreciated
Many Thanks in Advance

OK, you have bad radio version. You have to chnage it to 2.x.50.x (you have 51 actually). Follow this guide to change radio - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881958 It´s step A. When you follow this guide step by step, you should make it work easily

Yes, do that, or, much less riskily (not involving HSPL or anything along those lines) download the Official Stock ROM 3.14 from the HTC website and flash this. There are full guides on the HTC website. This will give you the correct radio.
@ OP, Download the files and use it is as simple as it gets, all you need to do is download the ROM from the ROM thread (the files will have the same name as the ROM title, choose the one which DOES NOT say 'Magldr' as this is for a different bootloader), place the Android folder on SD card and then run Clrcad and Haret. If you cannot understand this, I am unable to help you.
Many thanks again for the replies,
Upgraded the htc ROM , now can boot both Ubuntu & Android from windows
But...
started installing apps to the android & soon ran out of space
One of the threads recommended re-sizing the data.img BUT when I did that & installed the bigger file, apps market crashes , (as sometimes does the loader)
So great to have android but not so good if it does not have the required space.
ALSO
can not see the phone from either my windows or Linux computer EXCEPT when running windows - neither the htc or windows sync programs see it nor does the file system on linux
Any thoughts on the above please?
Many thanks in advance

thax for your suport. am waiting ur guide...
Just see this guide. It's very easy to understand, even if English is not your native language. This is a simple overview:
1. Flash MAGLDR 1.13 in bootloader
2. Flash CWM with the correct partition size for your selected ROM:
3. Partition your SD card for use with A2SD within CWM
4. Flash your desired ROM as a .zip from CWM.
Use HD2 TOOLKIT
You just need to use the HD2 TOOLKIT, which gives you all the necessary tools to make a fresh install
dear respected members, still am not getting where to start, where to download, am very confuse. i was searching on this forum and i found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620&page=1 and this exact android version is installed on my htc hd2 mobile. all screen shot of this link is exact on my mobile..

i just wanted to increase my internal memory, so that i can install lots of apps on my mobile. so please help me to select latest version of android and guide me step by step procedure.
should i have to install HARDSPL 2.08 again ? should i have to install RADIO again? should i have to install MAGLDR V1.13 again ? there is no CLOCKWORK option on my mobile so what i have to do ? there is no SD card partition option on my mobile. so what i have to do ? which android version i have to select and where to download?? etc etc i have lots of qus. so please guide me step by step.

This is pathetic, you're just not trying here. You want everyone else to do it for you. The guide I linked explains everything fully and even provides CWM downloads. Since you've already got the DFT ROM on it, surely you can figure out that you already have HSPL 2.08 and a viable radio? And if the guide says to flash MAGLDR 1.13 then why not just do it? There's no point helping you if you aren't going to put any effort in at the same time.
First,u will have to install HSPL 2.08
You will download the hspl 2.08 and u will install it by pressing power and the volume down and keeping it pressed.
2nd,u have to download and install 2.15.50.14 radio in the same way u installed HSPL.
3rd,u will download and install magldr 1.13 agin in th same way..
Now,you are ready to install any NAND Android rom. This means u will have no longer windows 6.5 installed on your phone..it' gonna be "blank"..
Then,you will find a partition system..(250M would be fine, it's a zip file) and run Magldr menu in USB FLASHER mode..that means u wil have ur phone connected to the usb port.. (you open the magldr menu by holding pressed the power button)
U will unzip the 250M an run the DAF.exe file..the partition is going to begin itself..
After that, u will go to magldr menu in the magldr menu and u will run 8. AD RECOVERY..u will go to mount and storage menu/mount and will get the rom u want to install in the sd card..then u will press back and u will find and run the install from sd card menu..the rom installation is about to begin..and if everythin is done correctly,the android rom is about to launch..
If any questions,don't hesitate to ask..good luck with your new android rom.

I have the same issue, as even with no apps installed to internal memory I supposedly have used up 90% of my internal storage and only have about 20MB left. I think all of the apps install something to the internal memory by default, because when I went through manually checking some of the larger apps I found that there were some things which still had the .apks or the libs files on the internal storage. Once I moved all of them, I had freed up about 40MB of space (i.e. total 60MB free), but somehow that gradually disappeared.
can any body suggest me any solution please ?
still waiting solution for expert members...

The HD2 camera isn't particularly good, but I get good enough shots.
Hi guys.
Yesterday I got a used HTC HD2. It is installed with android nand and the DFT (Dark Forces Team) rom, I think taken from the DESIRE (according to the information on the 'About').
The main problem in the device is that it has really bit memory! After installing few apps, I cant download a thing :/
So I searched for the problem and I've realized that I need to make a partition on the SD-CARD. However I saw that in the market there are apps that allow moving the application that can only sit in the internal memory to the external memory.
I then found out that the phone doesn't have root access too. (Although it came with SUPERUSER app as default).
I can't find the main thread of the rom in order to ask there how to root the device.
Which software / app, will I need recovery installed (althogh I don't think it requires) and ETC.
Please can someone direct me or just give me names of apps/softwares/guides/anything :crying:
I guess GOOGLE could be my assitstant from there.
I'm afraid to follow guides that I don't sure will work properly with my phone's software.
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for your kindly help.
Which Android version do you suggest to change to ?
ICS ? Or maybe GingerBread ?
And BTW I entered before to the MAGDLR menu, chosed the " AD Recovery " option and it said something like " no boot source ".
Does that mean that I don't have a recovery installed ?
And if so, will I need to install it first and then change the rom ?
Again, Thank you for your help.
Peleg.
yes you will need recovery...fast roms are mostly GB but ICS are as good as well...GB need less space on rom memory so if you don't install alot of craps as most of us do the remaining space will be fine for your data...ICS have hwa, apps work faster and games play better..I recommend ICS by tytung to be honest(very fast and stable)...when you download the recovery you will see a "flash.cfg" file...on the rom thread the developer will state the partitions needed for his rom and so you change the numbers on that file accordingly before flashing the recovery...but always make system space little bigger than needed just in case(and to avoid other problems that i will have a finger cramp if i write them down.! )

I will first install the recovery, but I guess I'll have to read a lot before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
Then I will search for a guide for installing recovery-
CWM will be great right ?
Thank you very much !!! :laugh:
The guide you linked is very useful and makes everything clear. I strongly recommend reading it thoroughly before doing anything. Once you're slightly more comfortable with the terms, you can follow the guide in my sig to flash CWM and a ROM. You already have HSPL, a compatible Radio version and MAGLDR installed so don't worry about any of those. If you happen to come across guides which say 'task29' just ignore that step, Task29ing is completely useless.
As for recommending a ROM, it depends on your usage. Eliaskammas' post sums it up nicely, but you should note that (IMO) ICS and JB will give you worse day to day performance and stability than GB but will be better for intensive activities e.g. gaming, web browsing, using content-heavy apps etc. I've also found battery drain to be marginally more on ICS and JB ROMs.

Hi.
Thank you for your advices and technical help.
I will read it as soon as possible and then try to install the CWM Recovery and a better Rom.
According to what I saw, I think I will go on the "Energy rom" (Sense 3.5).
I will probably update my progresses here.
Thank you a lot.
BTW, a deodexed rom is needed for languages that are written from right to left ?
Or that I have to find a rom supports RTL ?
Beacuse for example, I've searched the thread of the Energy rom for "Hebrew" and found out that it doesn't supports RTL :/
Thank you.
I don't want to confuse you but I personally have always found Sense based ROMs to be slow and I think you should really stick to CM or MIUI. Anyway, that's really just my opinion.
Unfortunately, I think that you may have to find a ROM which supports RTL. I haven't looked into it but there may well be an app which somehow makes it work. If you're desperate for Android with Sense and RTL support then you could consider some of the SD ROMs from boxmax, he made good SD ROMs (at least when I used it), but I don't know which NAND ROMs will work for you.

Hi Nigeldg.
I took your advice and I think I will go on this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639932
It supports rtl and data2ext.
But do I need to change my HD2's kernel ? To Dorimanx 's kernel ?
And from the guide that you've recommended on before, do I need to start from this part:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12656427&postcount=3
And to skip the other parts ?
I've read the hole guide and it is very helpful.
Everything is really clearer.
There's no need to change the kernel after flashing, but you can if you want to. I think the dorimanx krrnel is included in that rom anyway so i don't see why you'd want to flash it again. Follow the new way method and everything should be fine. You can use the NAND toolkit to select the appropriate partition size.

Hi Nigeldg.
I now want to install the CWM (long time hh)..
In this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639932
It says to install CWM with this partition size:
" Flash the Latest CWR (Clockwork Recovery) with the appropriate partition sizes by using the "Repartition" button inside the HD2ToolKit: System: 200MB | Cache: 5MB "
In the thread of CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
Can I change the partition sizes used for CWM
A. You can by editing the flash.cfg but this is not recommended, CWM is designed to make it easier for switching roms, by flashing a custom partition size you may stop other roms working and require reflashing a new partition size when you want to change roms.
Q. I dont know which partition size to download
A. Depending on what type of roms you plan on using, you should choose the partition size based on the following.
150MB Partition - For bare roms including CyanogenMod, AOSP, and MiUI
250MB Partition - For Standard sense roms including Desire and EVo based ROMs, can also be used for some squashed HD builds
400MB Partition - For Larger roms including unsquashed Desire HD and Z roms, ROMs REQUIRE data2sd for EU HD2 with 512MB NAND
And in the thread in your sig it is possible to download 3 version of the CWM. (150, 250, 400).
How do I need to install the CWM ?
To download the 250MB version, and using the HD2ToolKit to change the partition size and install with System: 200MB | Cache: 5MB (as the rom developer suggested) ?
Thank you!
The thread you've linked to is the old CWM thread. I don't see why it says that you shouldn't change the partition sizes because that's simply not true, pretty much all ROMs use custom sizes. Ignore that advice, it's wrong. In my opinion the easiest thing to do is to download the HD2 NAND Toolkit, click 'MAGLDR repartition', choose 200 and you're done.

Ok.
So I've downloaded the HD2 ToolKit.
Actually what I need to do is this:
1. To choose the 200MB and 5 Cache and then press repartition. (In what way does the phone need to be ? MAGDLR Menu, or other option ? )
2. Then to install the CWM by going to MAGDLR - USB Flasher, connect to the computer, and run the
DAF.exe.
Right ?
1. Open the toolkit
2. Click the MAGLDR repartition tab and select 200 and change the cache size to 5
3. Click 'repartition' (bottom left of the toolkit)
4. Follow the instructions it gives you (boot your phone into USB flasher mode then connect it to your PC) and let it flash.

I don't think you understand, THIS IS INSTALLING CWM :') After you've done this, just flash the .zip ROM and you'll be done

If I've already did it, just do this thing again and it will work ?
because now my phone cant load to the rom, it says NAND Kernel something and boots up to MAGDLR.
Is it OK ?
EDIT:
I've did it and chosed the "AD Recovery" option.
Now I can see that I have CWM Recovery!!
I thought that I had to choose somehow to install the CWM, and that's why I didn't understand.
Now,
Do you recommend to do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache ?
And after that to install from CWM the ROM that I've transferd to the Root of the SD right ?
Thank you very much !!!
You don't need to wipe anything, that already happened when you flashed CWM. Yes you should just have to flash the ROM now, as said in the guide in my sig. You may want to create an EXT partition but for your particular ROM it's not a necessary step so you can skip that. Glad I could help

It isn't necessary because it automaticly transfer the data to the SD ?
During the installation a message showed up saying that the rom identified that I don't have an EXT-partition installed.
Can I make a partition using the CWM/ADVANCED/PARTITION-SD ?
Thank you so much for your help!!
You saved me, and becuase of you I didn't sell the phone.
Thank you!!
It isn't necessary because the ROM itself is quite light, so all of it can be fit on to the NAND memory. It would help to create one because you may need it in the future, so I personally would if I were you. The way you described would work fine
