16) Are this Android build have flash?
There are lots of question...
Pls answer me
Thanks.

You need to do a lot more reading.
WM6.5 came with the HD2 and is outdated but some still like it.
Meego is not yet completed/available.
Ubuntu works but isn't really perfect as a mobile phone OS IMHO.
Android or Windows Phone 7 are your two main options.
There is only one version of WP7 available from DFT and it works pretty perfectly. WP7 has a unique and slick user interface and works quite well. The problem with WP7 is connecting to windows live services for the market, etc.
Android is the favorite of many here.
There are many versions available 2.2, 2.3, sense, stock, CM, etc.
WP7 and Android can be flashed using MAGLDR.
You cannot flash multiple operating systems at once.
A shipped rom is one provided by the manufacturer when you buy the phone.
The radio is part of the software that allows communication between the OS and the various radios" (GPS, WIFI, 3G, BT).

Thanks for reply!
But there are still some question u have not answer me yet.
Are there any way only "install" this os on a sd card, and i can change a sd card?? Eg. 8gb sd for wp6.5, 4gb for android <-- Added, Can i install WP7 in SD Card?
Can i not "flash" my phone, only "install" a os in my hd2?
Will install hspl will broke my warranty?
What difference between HSPL and SPL???
Which bootloader was the best? GEN.Y???
Will i "install" android on hd2, not "flash", also will broke my warranty?
If my phone broken (eg. mon broke, water inside the phone), which i cannot flash back to stock rom, what should i do?
Can i backup my rom??? <-- This one is the most important

In order...
You can install (and run) Android from the SD card. But not WP7.
Install and flash are basically the same thing. Unless you are running Android from the SD card.
Yes... HSPL is not acceptable to manufacturers or operators (a little bit like kiddy-fiddling and the police). You can 'uninstall' HSPL though.
SPL doesn't allow you to flash 'custom' ROMs, only official ROMs.
Your bootloader question makes no sense.
Installing Android isn't the issue with your warranty. You will most probably have flashed HSPL to get Android... that will break your warranty. You can use an SD version of Android with the latest official WWE ROM and Radio however... but are YOU able to flash the WWE ROM in your country without HSPL?
If you get water in the phone I would throw it in the toilet and flush it if i were you. Most providers do not cover water damage. Anything else, just flash back an official ROM and return it for replacement.
Yes, you can backup your ROM. By using ClockWorkMod, you can create backups.

If you return your device to HTC repair center and thy see HSPL, you don't will have warranty. But if you install HSPL, and if for one or a other reason you need to send your device to HTC repair center just remove HSPL, (yes you can remove it) Ons it's bean removed there are no trace that it was bean install so there is/are no problem more.
What difference between HSPL and SPL???
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SPL = Secondary Program Loader. Think of this in the same sense as bios on a pc. (it sets where your system boots from, intialises sub system process etc)
SSPL = soft spl (this allows you to flash another spl or hardspl).
HSPL = Hard Spl.
HardSPL is involved in unlocking your phone to install a custom ROM that is not signed by carrier. Without unlocking you can only install ROMs from your carrier.
Which bootloader was the best? GEN.Y???

Don't understand the question.
Will i "install" android on hd2, not "flash", also will broke my warranty?

All depends sir, if you will use/install Android on internal memory you need to have/install HSPL, and about this I have reply the previous question.
If you will used Android running from your SD, well then you need to know that Android needs minimum Radio 2.08.50 if this is your case; well than no problem.
If you have a earlier Radio for example Radio 2.07. well if you don't will to change your stock ROM who have a newer radio; well than you need to install HSPL for upgrading your radio (again take a look on HSPL)
If my phone broken (eg. mon broke, water inside the phone), which i cannot flash back to stock rom, what should i do?

Well water inside your device don't fall into the warranty condition, so if there is HSPL ore a other Rom, it don't mater anymore.

There are backup programs on the market. But what exactly do you mean with "Backup your ROM"??? I mean mostly peoples are looking for backup there contact list/mail/sms. But ROM????

There is no most popular and I would strongly advise not to go creating threads asking what is the "best" android rom/build as they will be closed.

5) That was very hard to understand unless you have Phd in random translation of arse vomit. but ill try...
As already stated earlier you can run android from either your SD card which doesn't require any installation you simply boot from it OR you can flash a ROM to your phone.
7) No you need to downgrade to 2.08. afaik.

lol believe it or not I read the whole thing and I was wondering same thing. Then I even scrolled up to look and make sure if he actually edited his original post and amended the question and didn't see it. By the time I got to your last post lol I was laughing out loud IRL.
But advice for him is he does pick WM on NAND go with WM6.5.X as base 29XXX is much more stable and from /sdcard he can use Android. Taking he has good microSDHC that is over class 4+ that is.
Can't beat: HD2 WM6.5.X(NAND) and Android(mSD).

It don't work.
Sorry to say, but almost all your questions are mentioned on the instruction post of each rom builder.
You don't need to looking for a answer if you don't follow the instructions. just follow them and all will be okay.
It's the same thing if you have a diesel car you pout diesel in it and you don't ask you the question what if I put engine in my diesel car.

That post's instruction HAVE NO ANYTHING about SPL/HSPL
So i decided asking here...
I have corssed out all the question now and i have put all the question to the #1 Post

Dude you are confusing but ill try to clarify from what you posted. You want to install NAND Android from SPL? WTF you need to have HSPL which HD2 are you using? Leo512/Leo1024? Why don't you want HSPL? Afraid of voiding the warranty?
As I said your best option for "you" is WM(NAND)+AOSP(mSD), far as the sdcard question goes you might want to go with 16gb class 4-6. As 4-8gb is way to small but you can use it if you don't have alot of media.

Hmm... Seems my english was so... bad...
ok, now i retold you all the details with my "best" english xD
I want to install a RAM version of Android 2.2, i will buy a 4gb(or 8gb) class 10 sd card later, but i have a "few" question: I want ANDROID(RAM)+STOCK WM6.5(original one, which one have already installed when u buy the phone)
I am going to install this Android build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518
But in that thread, the install instruction, it is not very cleared, so i decided to ask here...
I have upgraded my ROM recently, and now my SPL was 3.03.000, and u have said that ANDROID WILL NOT WORK ON HD2, so i am asking what should i do to use Darkstone's Android in my HD2.
Do i need to install HSPL?
Which version of HSPL will be suitible for me?
Any tutorial that teaches me to install hspl?
AND I AM NOT AFRAIDING IT WILL VOID MY WARRANTY, BECAUESE IT CAN BE UNINSTALLED! I have search through google, are i can restore my phone to NON-HSPL if i put the leoimg(or sth) in the sd card, and press some thing to make it restore, or just flash my ship rom?
And i have some EXTRA QUESTION i want to ask:
Firstly, how to uninstall Darkstone's Androind? Just delete the folder in the SDCard?
Secondly, are Android 2.2 on HD2 will support flash?
That's all my question, thanks for help.

Make sense now as I didn't keep up with the whole HD2 world after I lost my Leo. It was my mistake I see the Android being allocated from RAM now I thought you wanted to install it on NAND. Also where did I say Android will not work on HD2? I thought you wanted Nandroid lol thats all.
You keep editing your freaking posts man I can't keep up but as you are trying to use RAM Android you will not be affected so don't worry about it as I stated above it was my mistake. Skip the whole HSPL convo and yes it will not void your warrenty cuz you didn't and don't need installing in first place. But if you do then yes you can use leo.img to restore it.
Now dude I have read the whole instruction and its very clear so my question to you is why are you asking? Just download and place it on your /sdcard and then CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe there are like 10000s of tutorials on howto do this lol if you need to watch video then thats your last worry, just use FileExp. So if you don't like it just format the mSD hope it helps for what its worth.

Help!!

just want a walkthrough on how to install it all, very curious as i dnt want to brick my phone lol. thanks in advance

Firstly, why on earth title your topic as "Help!!", titles of subjects are supposed to be descriptive, titling "help" etc are ridiculous.
Second, If you had bothered to take 2 minutes to look you would find an abundance of guides, no need for this topic at all.
Third, You lost your iPhone then got a real phone, At least one good thing came from this thread

some help you are. i have searched the forums and tbf got abit lost. ive been away from this scene since the first XDA on 02 came out so bare with me. im NOT a complete idiot as i am an MCSE qualified engineer! so dont take me for a TWAT, this forum is meant to be friendly.
ill figure it out myself....!
and also ill probably no more than you will ever no

I think your HELP is just wrong placed - there is a section "HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A and General". So your HELP should be there

go to hdspl mode
change to 2.08
task29
magldr
and wp7

OP, use correct grammar, better thread titling, and correct forum placement if you want to be taken seriously.
Also, MCSE has nothing to do with this, and really is not that difficult of a certification to get in the first place.

When you say a second one, what do you mean?
Did the first flash and boot ok and now you are trying a different build? Or do you mean you are trying a second one as first failed also??
Flashing WP7 is extremply easy. You just simply...
Load into MAGLDR menu
Load USB Flasher
Load up DFT flasher on PC
Start Flashing!
If this doesnt work it could be down to a incompatible SDCard. Some simply wont work with WP7.
Try and do a full format, ie..
Load Panasonic SDFormatter
FULL Format (Overwrite)
Size Adjustment ON
Reflash ROM!
If that doesnt work, use a different card. Remember WP7 creates a 200MB partition on card so dont be alarmed to see that the card only shows 200MB when you see it in windows.

People without simple common sense are unfortunatley a majority on this site nowadays.
XDA has become a support group for people who dont have mental capacity to use search or read forum titles.

Hi Guys.
Thank you for all the help, and comments. I did search for DAF roms and i got one. But no one is creating them anymore so all the daf roms are outdated. I have tried everything to get CLK and clockwork to work. Have asked questions and did not getting and help.
Sorry for all the trouble. Just needed to know if someone is still making it or not. I did it as a last resort. I followed all the guides and still cant it to work.
thank you

Serious question...please help

Hey Guys I have been changing roms alot on my HD2 but I run them off the SD card, which from my experience so far isnt bad at all. But what I would like to do is Dual run WP7 and then Android off the Sd card. Only problem I have is that my physical back button does not work, and every time I se something about flashing a rom with magdlr its says something about using the back button. I guess my question is, is there anay way I can Run WP7 on Nand without having to use my back button? Any help I really appreciate...(and if this is not the right area to ask please let me know and I will move my question to the appropriate place) thanks in advance, :fingers-crossed:

Seriously, this should be in the QUESTIONS section.

LOL

you can try the new CWM Recovery (Still in beta as of this post) which is Touch enabled.
First beta version came with a soft back button although it might have been removed in the newer beta versions.

Only problem I have is that my physical back button does not work, and every time I se something about flashing a rom with magdlr its says something about using the back button. I guess my question is, is there anay way I can Run WP7 on Nand without having to use my back button? Any help I really appreciate...(and if this is not the right area to ask please let me know and I will move my question to the appropriate place) thanks in advance, :fingers-crossed:

This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read:
1. You're asking a question in the DEVELOPMENT FORUMS.
2. You're asking a question about WP7/SD Android in the NAND forums.
3. You clearly haven't done enough searching before asking your question
4. Your thread is titled wrongly. 'Some questions' doesn't give the people who are trying to help you any information, and I would have just skipped over this thread had it not been in the wrong forum.

as above, you deserve the roasting, , ,however, since i'm in a rare good mood, , the answer is no, you don't need the back button at all to flash magldr/cwm/clk/nand roms/wp7 roms. Send, end and voldown are all you need.

Really?!?

This type of answer is definitely understandable, but for
1. I could have sworn people have ran WP7 on the NAND and Android on the SD card (meaning the base is WP7 and they can run Android off the SD card.) ...maybe im wrong
2. You are correct I havent done enough researching on it, I was going based off some Youtube vids and what some people kept tellin me.
3. My thread isn't titled "Some questions" my thread is titled "Serious Question...please help" and I understand that I posted in the wrong place which is why if you read my whole post I established that I would move it if needed.
4. Im a noob when it comes to the HD2 I do understand that...but no need to act like a sarcastic **** about it

I do understand why I deserve some roasting, but I thank you for not coming back with some sarcastic answer. I really appreciate it honestly and I will try to flash it since you said I will not need the physical back button to do so.

you can try the new CWM Recovery (Still in beta as of this post) which is Touch enabled.
First beta version came with a soft back button although it might have been removed in the newer beta versions.

I believe I have used this before and it has worked, but thanks for your input as well :good:

If you knew that you hadn't done enough research on it then why didn't you just do some and save yourself the trouble of creating a new thread in the first place?

[Install Q] Installing DataOnExt, after?

Hey Everybody,
first of all, Happy Merry Christmas,
guys, I try to understand if what I looking for can be done or if there is some way to do so.
I find many NAND Android ROMs which are without DataOnExt, for example HyperDroid-CM7.
But I will be glad to know if can be possible to install DataOnExt after flashing the ROM on NAND.
someone can tell me if this is possible? Please...
Cheers in advance..

Dear Marvlesz,
I was writing a PM to you just to ask you about that but I changed my mind and I opened this thread,
I saw that thread and like always you make me a criminal
That thread is a lot too complicated to make it right, there is not any easy way?
I mean flash DataOnExt anfter installation or something similar?

Haha, I am not making you a criminal or anything, but rather YOU are making yourself a criminal.
I mean seriously, here is a quote of that post:
How is this done?
The Easy way - Thanks to @Kokotas (Note that I have not updated Kokotas' .zip file to include the recent changes (20th October 2012) (See The Long Way below)
Visit the post (quoted below), thank @Kokotas, download the .zip from the post, flash it in recovery and lets us know how it goes. Did I tell you to make sure you have a NANDROID backup?

The only thing left is to ask us to flash the zip for you, come on!
It couldn't be any easier!
Please always .. oh forget it.
Enjoy.

I noticed that you rarely thank those who try to help you, or even manage to help you!
Thanks by words is not beneficial for them as much as pressing the thanks button. The button is there for a reason.
I also ask you kindly to go over your past threads, such as the almighty battery life thread, and thank everyone who tried to help you. Not just by saying "Thanks!", but by pressing their thanks button!
An example is shown on the above post, the thanks button is located right next to the "Quote" button.

I click thanks for you.
Last one thing, the DataOnExt have to be flasher via recovery, buy I do not have the recovery installed on my Phone, I got Android on NAND which was installed via MAGLDR in Flasher Mode.
Now if I will flash the Recovery my Android will be deleted, right?
I can't find any explanation for this, do I have reinstall all again?

I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall everything from scratch .
Why are you using the flasher anyway? All ROMs that use flasher are old and outdated .
(By the way, I didn't mean just thank me, I meant everyone.)

ACA Gingerbrad was only in this way before the release of 13-12-12 for NativeSD and NAND also via Recovery.

unless, like me, you use the original css styles, in which case we see neither the thanks meter nor the thanks button.

not so, , , OP could use cwm that runs from sd card, and use that to flash the dataonext.zip to the current android, , HOWEVER, , the fact that he has no cwm on there already tells us that the version of android he is using is probably the original proof of concept (desire stock) and may or may not work with an ext anyway (its not rooted, for a start), so OP would be better picking a more up to date rom anyway (one with dataonext built in would be a good start) and flashing again anyway.

I did that on one of my two HD2, 1 have Gingerbrad and the another one have ICS 4.0.4 but currently ICS give me big problems to run programs which Gingerbrad do not have. On ICS I can install the apps but they crash after run them.
So now I try to keep my Gingerbrad but expand it with DataOnExt, anyway run CWM from sd is a good idea, I will give a shot on that, if something go wrong I will reinstall all from scratch again.

I was skeptical when I wrote that sentence, because I knew you'd come and say something like that. Because that happened before.
But I also wanted him to cope with the rapid development of the HD2 and the recoveries. Besides, that ROM is outdated anyway, i.e. the ACA gingerbread.
