Hey guys, first off I'd like to thank you for everything you do. I never could have imagined there could be so many customizations to phones.
I bought the HTC HD2 for T-Mobile the day it came out on March 24 last yr, and I've returned it and gotten a replacement twice now. The one I have now is a month old, and I am ready to port android to my device.
The problem.....I am beyond a newbie. I know nothing about porting another OS to my phone and I tried to read the faq and instructions and it's just overwhelming.
All I've done so far is port HSPL3 to my phone, mainly because based off of everything I've read, it is needed before anything is done. Then I get to the part where it says I need to install a radio, the current radio version on my phone is 2.15.50.14 so I don't know whether to leave it as it or not.
Basically, I need someone to walk me through the rest of the process, for I am in fear screwing something up and bricking my phone, I am a T-Mobile customer living in the US, and I would like to install Andriod 2.3 or 2.2 whichever works best, I guess I'll decide which one to port when I'm ready, I basically just need assistance in preparing my phone for a port of android, any takers?
I'm very new at this too & I haven't managed to get all the way through the procedure but this thread I found fairly easy to follow & apart from the last bit of actually flashing the NAND, which isn't working for me, it all installed ok

One thing that is not stated in the DAF step-by-step is that you need to right click your mouse and choose Run As Administrator in order for DAF to go into it's menu and load. Right clicking the mouse is especially true for Vista computers in order for DAF to run. Once it is loaded, then all you need to do is copy the zip file of the build of your choice and use CWM, number 8 on the menu list, to open the zip file and load it.
Here you go ..
here is a great place to start!

Just run the installer it will do the rest
I have a HD2 that I plan on installing Android on (currently WinMo 6.5), as it's cheaper, I hope, than buying a new phone. I have a step by step guide to follow, along with all the files I need, like HSPL3, MGLDR, and CWM, etc. All I need now is the ROM build. My confusion lies in the fact that the ones I look at seem to be for US T-Mobile HD2's, and mine is an unbranded UK model. I also keep seeing references to LEO512 or LEO1024? I'm pretty sure what I want is on here, but the sheer number of threads/posts will take me forever to work through! Can some kind soul point me in the right direction and I'll take it from there? Thanks.
With the ported android roms you havent to fear to destroy your device flashing a wrong rom.
This issue is only related to wm 6.5 roms/radios.
...you only have to decide if you want to throw wm6.5 away and use a nand build or keep wm6.5 and use a sd build.
Experience
From experience I'd recommend Typhoon rom

Also the hyperdroid GBX

Click the thanks button if i helped
In quadrant I got only 1200 Score even when i OC to 1,2 Ghz. Why is my score so low?
Above, off topic or what?
Ok. Just watched a video of the HyperDroid install, looks pretty straight forward. But it doesn't have the Sense UI, which I like. CyanogenMod 7 doesn't appear to have it either? (I also don't see the link to the download for CM7 either, but I'm guessing I'm stupid or blind?)
you want any rom that supports the eu leo with 512 in the title

Hey,
1st of all welcome, 2nd - be prepared... android can be very addictive.
As for your questions, LEO512 = European with 512mb rom (which you have) & LEO1024 = tmoUS with 1024mb rom.
If you prefer sense based roms you wont really go wrong with any build from Rafpina, imilka, Sergio76 or cmylxgo. Tho ive found RAFDROID HD builds are very stable & fast, also very straight forward to setup (tho there is NO Best rom id say this is a good starting point)

Yup 2nd that !
Rafdroid is still my favorite everyday build because of the sense widgets which show my emails, news etc on the 'desktop'.
Just about everything works in that build and is a perfect step from WM to Android.
First I would have a go with Android on the SD-card as it also works like it should and should be extreemly simple if you have a correct radio (ver 2,08 and above I thought). Should be easy to check in the software version tab all the way on the right hand side I believe.
After playing with it you can still decide if you want to go natively Android or not.
There are backup tools like Titanium pro which are worth the money.
I betcha will also enjoy the Android market!
And .... welcome to the group!
Thanks for the welcome.
I've decided I'll wipe and install to the Nand memory, I already have a Hero and love Android and the way I can customise it. Will try the process tonight.
Ok. Been at this for a while now, but I'm stumped.
Step one was install HSPL3. Went without a hiccup, no problems.
Step 2 was to install the radio. Chose EUradio (radio leo 5.15.50.14). However, I've tried half a dozen times, Windows says I am connected and I get to the HTC screen with a progress bar but then after 2-3 mins, I get an error message saying there is no communication.
Have tried:
1. different usb ports
2. loading into bootloader screen (coloured bars). Initially it says serial but then switches to USB after a short while. Tried from there, no luck.
3. rebooted the pc, and phone multiple times.
I did a search on the forum for 'no USB communication' but I get different threads bouncing about, none getting the same as me. Any ideas welcomed.

If you want to use ROM Manager with hour HD2 you will have to use cLK for your custom Android bootloader and not MAGLDR. Go and check out the "ROM Manager Now Supports HD2" thread and you can get more info on it there, it os a short bit accurate tutorial post on page two of the thread, it is only three pages right now anyway so not a lot of reading to do.

Do you have the latest version of ActiveSync or WMDC, depending on what Windows your computer uses, installed on your computer? You need the most upcto sate versions of these to flash straight through bootloader.

Thanks, but I've not even reached that part yet. The tutorial I'm following is:
1/ Install HSPL3
2/ Install radio
3/ Install MGLDR
4/ Install CWM
5/ Install Android
I'm currently stuck on step 2.

Yes. I'm running Win7 x64, everything is up to date. I did read you are supposed to turn off any antivirus? I'm using M$ Security Essentials. Would this affect it?

Hi,
You should be using :
radio version 2.15.50.14,which you can get here:
http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
"Initially it says serial but then switches to USB after a short while."
When it changes to USB ,that is the time to start flashing the radio.
Forgot to ask earlier, should I be removing the sim card while doing this? I've been putting in a spare one so I don't affect my 'real' one.

It should not make any difference.
I never take mine out when I change ROMS etc.

My apologies. It was a typo error earlier. I have been trying 2.15.50.14, it failed so I tried 2.08.50.05 + task29. Neither worked. Just downloaded from the link you posted, in case my file was corrupt, exactly the same, comms error (Error 262).

Ok,
Let's start again.
1.task 29 (get rid of old ROM)
2.Try to find HSPL4 and install
3.radio 2.15.50.14
4.MGLDR
See if that works...

No. Still wont work. Will not run task29, get the same 'Error 262'..
As it was bought sim free, could there be something on it blocking the software? Or on my pc?
Hey guys, this is the Ultimate Definitive tutorial on how to get an Android ROM (NAND of course, cuz ROM means its in NAND =] to avoid those misunderstandings) working on your HD2, It has an Ultimate Droid ROM as an example (I consider it to be one of the best out there, and we can say tutorial was created to assist this project firstly)
Features:
Clean install explained, no strange problems during your Android expirience
3 parts, ~15 minutes each (definitive, can be used to install Droid onto COMPLETELY NEW HD2)
Works with both 512Leo and 1024Leo
Download links for everything you need (as well as md5 sums)
Every aspect of flashing is fully explained
Flashing process is shown with the buttons pressed (split screen included)
!!!!CHANGING THE BOOT LOGO AFTER MAGLDR!!!!!!! also explained (was looked for by many people before this)
Creation and flasing a splash screen to your HD2
DT's a2sd script set up explained (also partitioning SD and GUI for a2sd)
Now, for some reason it doesnt embed HD videos no matter what I do, so for now you may want to visit youtube for 720p quality
I'd appreciate it if someone told me how to do that
Part1:
Part2:
Part3:
Please comment, rate, subscribe and of course feedback is always welcome
Also if you didnt understand something or have problem you can ask it here or in the comments section for the video But I advise to research on it yourself, because that's the only way you'll learn =)
nice job man,
you made me understand a2sd
Ok, I followed the process completely (ignoring new boot screen and A2SD)
I get the errors on the first bootup, I reboot, and then get "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" error
This comes up every time I reboot and obviously the phone is un-usable. I've repeated the process more than once.
This happens on a lot of ROMS actually, I've swapped SDCard to rule that out. I've asked this question lots and nobody can give me an answer. What's going on?
Have I just got a b0rked HD2? I've had it since it came out, it's been flashed probably close to a hundred times, and that was before Android even came out, so it's had some heavy use.

Well what about sd, did swapping work?
Formatting with Panasonic SD formatter?
And did you reflash HSPL recently? cuz that fixed my strange problem (not having "htc" logo when flashing something)
Try reflashing your radio, if you didnt (I assume you did), this is everything that comes to my mind
This tutorial should give the same results all the time because its "from scratch" type.
Not being a a$$ here just pointing out an observation. You can not call it the "Ultimate Definitive Guide to NAND Android on COMPLETELY NEW HD2" if you have not included cLK in it as well as MAGLDR. With a title like the one you have it should be completely through. The HD2 now has two custom bootloaders for Android. Now I can not get your videos to pull up for some reason, just says click to install plug in, but does nothing when I click on them. Links to the videos on Youtube would be nice especially seeing as you mentioned going to Youtube to watch the videos. If you have cLK included then dis reguard this post, but I only see MAGLDR mentioned in post #1.
If you don't know about cLK then click on my little guide I wrote that is linked in my sig. I would tell you to keep up the good work but I have not seen it yet lol. Anyway keep fighting the good fight look forward to watching your videos when either I can view them here are Youtube.

The only problem is... I've never used Clk mainly because for some reason i can not get adb on my windows desktop which is hell of a buggy thing... loking forward to install it on linux though So i cant assure people everything will work.. maybe in the future
I'm calling it that because it is the most feature-rich up to date, AFAIK(maybe I'm wrong) and both people who had seen its beta version said that there was a lot of info in it. I'll look into clk when I have time
Links to videos on youtube are in the "Part x" headers in the 1st post, click them to go there and watch the 720p
very very helpful videos and the way you explained every thing was very easy to understand, i feel like i actually learned alot in these videos
very helpful videos thaaaaaaaaaaank u
Special thanks dear gear_rus for this helpful video , i changed my HD2 to Android according to this tutorial ,
last part of the videos (making partitions & installing a2sd) for what it must do ?
and insomuch that tutorial made some month ago , do u suggest a better version rom (whats ur rom now? ) ?
I recently brought a HTC HD2 and I wanted to change the Windows Mobile OS to the android OS. I tried reading the instruction here on the forum on how to do it but no luck...damn I'm just not techsavvy enough to do this. If anyone have the time to help me...I would appreciate it. I think it would be best if we chatted 1 on 1 on a AIM messenger or whatever on the step-by-step procedures. Thanks!
all the steps are on the guides, you will need to do alot of reading, ill be honest if you read the guides and still dont understand how to do it, you woudl be better off sticking to winmo or putting on an SD version of android
I tried reading the guides but it's confusing as hell with all the instructions scrambling around. Shoot I just don't want to brick my phone...

Mate,
What kind of Android do you want to run on your HD2?
Is it NAND or is it SD Android? Do you know the difference?
If you only want to have SD Android, then it will be easier for you to follow.
And you can keep your WInmo. I mean you will have 2 OS, i.e Winmo and SD Android. Just like mine (see my sig below)
The first thing you have to do is installing SPL 2.08 HSPL.
To do that, you have to go into bootloader screen. How? Turn off your phone.
Now, press the VOLUME DOWN and POWER ON BUTTONS at the same time, and release only after the FOUR COLORS SCREEN appear (Red, Blue, Green and White). If you arrive at this point, then you now know how to boot into the so called "Bootloader Screen".
Now, Check at the white color part (the below part) whether there is any text say: "Serial" (without quote). If yes, now you can connect your hd2 to your PC using USB cable. In doing this, you should plug in the rear (not front) usb port of your PC. If this is the first time, your PC would need time to install the necessary USB driver. If succeeded, you will see the text "Serial" now has changed to "USB". You can proceed to next step, i.e installing SPL 2.08 HSPL.
Remember HSPL is always be required for flashing ROM, etc. You will see it HSPL mentioned all over the HD2 forums. So you have to be able to install HSPL before going to further step.
Sorry, if I forgot, you also have to download HSPL 4. It is an application for installing SPL 2.08 HSPL and other SPL. You can download it from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433&highlight=HSPL+4
Once you downloaded HSPL 4, extract it to whatever folder in your PC.
Keep in mind, it is for PC running MS Windows. If you are running Windows 7, you have to run as an administrator.
Now, while in the bootloader, connected you USB, and the text already changed to "USB", you run HSPL 4 from your PC. You have to follow the instruction there carefully. So, please read the guides provided in the link mentioned above.
If you can achieve this stage, then we can go on to the next level, i.e Flashing Radio, Task 29, etc.
Goodluck

This guy makes it sound difficult For SD Android, you need to go to http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1043&news_id=782 and install Rom upgrade 3.14 (just connect phone to computer and press a button, that's really all you have to do). You should be fine, but if you want to then check that you have SPL 3.03 and radio 2.15 (in bootloader and WinMo settings>software information respectively) then download an android build (I recommend AmeriCanAndroid), put it on your SD card (Copy and paste) and press two files on file explorer (clrcad and haret). You will then have Android and Windows Mobile
No HPSL, Radio, Task 29 etc needed. In other words: YOU CANNOT BRICK YOUR PHONE.

lol, dude I was just giving you some friendly advice. You made it blatantly obvious that you didn't have the mentality or patience to get into flashing Android and would have likely screwed your device up one way or another simply because you admitted yourself and I quote..

You best option is to stay away from flashing Android and to stick to Windows Mobile and possibly decide to boot Android from SD instead of flashing. Once you have spent some time reading, learning and understand the process more you can branch out to maybe installing MAGLDR on your device and then flashing Android.
Back to your pathetic and quite frankly childish attempt and insulting me.. What you said only go towards yourself, Any virgin can come up with that crap as an insult "hey you cant get laid", Dude I would put money on it that I was getting laid before you was probably even born or possibly still in primary school. Also whats wrong with jacking off to pr0n on the interwebz???

A virgin would definitely put money on the line to prove that they're not a virgin. The only way you going to prove that you got laid is that you paid a hooker to bang you. Bloke, you're just trying too hard to prove something from a random stranger on the internet. You're so funny...that childish attempt of mine seems to hit a nerve because YOU'RE THE ONE that is fazed.
P.S. never take advices from a Brit on how to get laid! LOL!
I must say this thread sums up the difficulty one experiences trying to learn the guides on this site, very badly written, at least for noobs (which is what they all claim to be.. "ultimate noob guide".. not).
There could be just a few choice stickies to solve so many issues... like a post that get updated or voted on as to what is the fastest running rom for X device..
Basic descriptions of the strange terms used.
Explainations that HTC seem to be very unstable when flashing. I have seen one attempt to be flashed 10 times, and the 11th times it JUST WORKED - no rhyme or reason. No wonder people freak out on here.
I have spend a few days just trying to get basic direction, I finally get a rom on my HD2, it is slow and flaky as, but I am hella scared to touch it becuase it was an absolute sh*t fight to get that one on there. Now I have wasted another half day trying to figure out what a better, faster NAND rom will be, if SuperRam is bettr (?!?) jesus christ I just want a stable phone.
You guys flaming people for not knowing the mountain of crap to learn about flashing roms are a bit harsh IMO.

yeah no problem, but do a little reading first cause the steps i give need to make sense to you as well, but this should really be easy and care free. lol
and is your hd2 the tmobile version or EU version, you need to know that, real important when it comes to roms.
what you need to download is as follows, and you can find it in the hd2 android forums:
hspl 4 to unlock phone, 2.15.50 radio, magdlr 1.13, and cwm recovery and the rom you want to run.
1. put your phone in bootloader mode ( while phone is powered down hold volume down and power button) and it will take you to a tri colour screen.
2.with your phone plugged in, it will look and search for the htc drivers and your phone will say usb on the bottom, and when it says that, run the HSPL.exe file you downloaded. this will hack your phone.
3. as soon as your phone reboots hold the volume down and power button to put it back in the tri colour screen. now install the 2.15. radio you downloaded by running the custom ruu, and this will install it for you.
4. now once again, once it completes put your phone into tri coulour screen again, and run magdlr. This will install magdlr for you as well, the bootloader that will replace the original. this is whats going to get you into nand android, or wp7 etc.
5. once thats done phone will reboot, and now it will reboot into magdlr. from here on, you will have to put your phone into usb flasher mode. the phone will install other usb drivers once you do that.
6. once thats done, while on usb flasher mode, install the recovery you downloaded, and using the dft installer, will install the recovery. follow the instructions ins the recovery flasher.
7. when thats down, in magdlr go into ad recovery, and this will put you into the Android recovery.
8. using your volume rocker, go down to mounts/storage, and mount usb/storage, and transfer your rom over to ur sd card.
9. unmount and go into "install zip from sd card." and choose the rom you just transferred. this will take a few minutes, just let it sit till it finishes.
10. once complete go into reboot phone, and watch the magic happen.
Notes: on first boot, usually it will take a lil longer since its running alot of stuff in the background just sit tight and be paitent.
Make sure you download the rom that fits your phone ( tmobile version, or EU)
In the future when you get better and have a little knowledge, using the hd2toolkit is like god, makes alot of things easier with system partions etc...
and like i said please read a little so you can grasp a little knowledge before trying. but you shouldnt really have a problem. Good luck and let me know what else i can do to help and enjoy your new phone!

Nobody will help you more than tecle2595 did above (that was a long and correct answer to your question)
Everything you need to install android without bricking your phone is explained multiple times in details in this forum, and as others said, you even have the luxury to watch youtube videos.
All people here were noobs the first time they joined XDA, and most of us spent hours to decypher the help tutorials. I know it's very hard but you absolutely need to understand all of it if you want to move to android custom roms... otherwhise you'll keep on asking questions on the forum and you'll get stuck at a certain point.
This thread is a good start
Keep on reading the tutorials until you get them, than follow exactly the procedures, and it's guaranteed that you won't brick your phone !

You will never brick your phone by installing software from the Android market, so don't worry about that. In fact, you can't brick an EU HD2 at all as far as I know.
Some things I couldn't live without are:
SetCPU - allows you to control the speed of your CPU whilst performing different tasks.
Titanium Backup - as the name suggests, is a backup tool. Can't count how many times I've used it and my backups have saved my ass.
Juice Defender - Others say it isn't useful, I personally find it helps
Current Widget - Gives you your battery drain, really helps me tell when something's wrong and an app is draining the battery too much
3G watchdog - Measures your 3G usage and warns you if you get near your limit
(For AOSP/CM7) GO Launcher - IMO the best launcher in the market
Dolphin Browser - IMO the best browser in the market
(For AOSP/CM7) ExDialer + Contacts - Stock CM7 dialer isn't as good as this one
Can't think of any more that I really need, so I hope this helps you
