After searching the forums, I still felt the need to ask for help since I'm a noob.
Dual Boot Android WP7 still doable? Every video and topic is old (but so is the phone, I know)
What is the best guide/tutorial (pref video) that is up to date to use for the instalation?
Thanks for your help

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 .
hi brothers how can i install android, i don't want the dual boot i just only want to run android on my HD2. Thanks
by the way is there any chinese android rom?
You can't.
Yet.
And yes there is some chinese build somewhere. Just look in the Android Development thread. One tip though: don't start a thread there, because you will be flamed and haunted for the rest of your life.

Alright guys so iv been searching for awhiel on the form, google. etc.... and still can not find the right rom to use in order to dual boot my HTC Surround with W7 and Android os. just wanted to see if anyone has a link for the android rom that should be used for the Surround or........ if there is even an Android rom for the surround yet.
the other questions i have is if the GY dual boot will work on the surround, it seem that most of the information says it will work for all windows phones so im assuming the answer is yes but id like to find the correct rom first before i get started on this project.
Thanks in advance for the help
Would also like to know^^
please and thanks!!
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.
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
