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
Hello Confused Dominik,
This guide I will post has all the information you need, it is actually titled "For Newbies".
Now don't take this the wrong way, but you have 99 posts and you've been here since 2011. How come you couldn't find this thread yourself? << being friendly
Anyway, here's the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830

Hi, i believe some of you remember that i am switching from X1 to HD2... Well, i have changed it and i'm using it now (love the big screen)
I was wandering around this forum... I saw a post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578575&highlight=dualboot
What does it actually means by: "ANDROID/MAEMO/LINUX on HD2"
Is it that when i flashed it, my Windows OS platform is gone for good???
Then... ... I searched deeper. LOL, and notice this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792
I am very very attracted to the DualBoot... Thats actually i wanted for my HD2.
Well, thats not my main question/request...
A troublesome request will be appearing after this sentence, i hope that you guys wouldn't feel fed-up. *(Apologize to you first)*
The most important question... Is it compatible for HD2??? If its not, sorry for this post.
If it is compatible, could someone spare me their time to guide me along the step and procedures to install the android OS and then the DualBoot.
If possible, mind attaching/link the required file for this whole process.
A million thanks to you guys. Sorry if i speak a bit to harsh
P.s. Sorry if there is a guide already up there in the forum . I'm a student and need to study for my test, didn't have time to search so many pages
I don't mind if you copy/paste the guide here... Just attach the required files needed.
Thanks once again
...Sorry if i speak a bit to harsh
I would like to advice you to read more of the ANDROID/MAEMO/LINUX on HD2 thread. You'll see that it still is in full development. For android to work developers need to create a custom kernel that will run on the HD2 using Haret. There is no question of a nand flash of android as of yet.
Now even with the use of Gen.Y dualboot, if you are not able to boot into android, the application in itself is still useless (on HD2). Furthermore, the dual boot application does in fact start your windows mobile Rom but directly start Haret instead of completely loading windows mobile (correct me if i'm wrong please).
So to sum up. Don't worry about flashing over windows mobile. This isn't possible (yet). Running android is not working (yet). And even with the use of Gen.Y dualboot, you'd still run windows mobile as a flashed rom and not Android itself.
I do have to ask though. If you just got the phone and already want Android.. why didn't you get an android phone? Ofcourse if you are like me and just like to tinker with your phone I can understand .
I just purchased an unlocked TMobile HTC Leo, which I'm gonna use with att. I've heard all the capabilities this phone still delivers and being honest, I'm really excited about upgrading it to an Android OS from day one. On the same note, I have to say that I'm overwhelmed by the variations of ROMs, ways to install them,etc, etc, etc...I'm not a techie by any means, the only related experience I have is changing the OS on my BB bold2. believe when I say I had being checking threats after threats for hours in order to not deal with a dumb troll, but all I could find was old guides (a year old or so). so if somebody can pitch me a couple of useful noobie tips, send me some links of updated guides, any warnings or has a useful comment, be my guest.
This is all you need, i think....

i agree that whats listed above should be rather helpful but you should also read this thread found here. its Flashing Your First HD2 NAND Android Rom [For Newbs] & will guide you through the steps in order to get Android onto your device. this thread was written with the noob in mind so everything is written rather simple in a straight forward manner. the steps listed on that page will have you lose winmo and it will be replaced by Android. if you want a sd build then i would suggest one that has Android already built in like this one so you can get a feel for it before deciding whether or not to go to a nand build.
please before you flash any rom/radio/kernal/...people you have an idea of what your doing or atleast know what not to flash. if you have a 1024 leo flash 1024 leo roms if you have a 512 leo flash 512 leo roms​
Sorry, unrelated but I couldn't help pointing out this:

'Threats after threats'...
welcome. good reads above.
just wanted to let you know, too, that with the tmousa on att, you will NOT get 3g. just edge. that is a hardware issue. if you want 3g, you will need the telstra version of the hd2. but i reckon you know this, but thought i'd share just in case.
enjoy.
why not try some of the SD builds first? at least you don't risk bricking your device, and can enjoy android until you feel ready to flash NAND
thank you guys for the quick responses and inputs. its cool to know that you belong to a dedicate comunity such as xda; I'll check out my options and let you know my progress. thnx again
lol, threads AND threats as well!! there's some short temper ppl around...

You Can Contact Me On Skype At corbo987corbin or message me on here
1. Please search before posting
2. Please use decent grammar, one long sentence is actually rather difficult to read
You expect us to read your post yet you quite clearly haven't read anything at all before posting this question. If you had searched in any way (your question is essentially 'how do I flash NAND Android?' you would have found tonnes of threads asking the exact same thing and numerous guides. I've found this to be the best guide.
This post is wrong in so many ways:
1- Your title is not descriptive.
2- You didn't search before making your post.
3- Your grammar makes reading your post very hard, and you are using incorrect terms. (wtf is tand? sp?) .. I know you mean sd & nand, but you should care for your readers.
4- You want us, to contact you, on Skype, and guide you through the installation? haha, sure, we will .
^Fix these and I am sure you won't even need our help. (considering you've done #2)
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.
I have an HTC HD2 running the native windows professional 6.5. and I would like to migrate to Android . But I have read too many
amazing stories that actually I feel lost. Which Android version could provide me a little bit of more speed and the same time
be reliable to run.
I would like to have a dual boot version in case of failure
Any advice will be appreciate
Jerome
Hello,
The place where you posted this post, is intended for development only, i.e. no questions should be asked here. Please, for any further questions use the HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General section.
To your question: We really can't tell which version would be good for you as it differs from one person to another, but you can read this post I made a while back that should help you decide which version to choose. That post also tells you how to dual boot if you want to.
And please use the search tool next time. If you had used the search, you would have found the same post I linked you to as well as many other threads that ask the same questions and get the following answer: "There is no best ROM."
