Newby question about ANDROID on HD2

Hey everyone
I was wondering if someone can repost how to run android on the HD2... I see there are A LOT of threads on here...
thanks a bunch

All I did was put one of the Android builds, copy the Android folder to my SD card, hit CLRCAD then run Haret and it loaded it up. I had a stock TMOUS WinMo ROM and radio.

thanks hun

thats very sad. there are stickies all over this forum for exactly that......noone can search for themselves anymore........ oh well, at least you posted it in the right section.

Not working for me
Did anybody get android to work using the instructions in the link above? I'm stuck on step 10. Everytime I go to the EBL program, it said 'no android build found'.

not all HD2 are the same when it comes to running Android. I strongly believe
there is a good reason why most Android builders have a custom Winmo recommended ROM
and Radio in their first post.

Thanks! I figured it out. A simple thing from that post made me figure it out. I just needed to move the already existing Android folder contained within the Drod to the root folder.

[Q] HD2: Switching ROM to ROM

So I purchased an HD2 from someone and it already has android ported to it. I dont like the ROM that is currently on it and i'm wantign to change it to the Desire HD ROM but I'm sorta stuck.
What steps do I have to do in order to do this? Do I have to remove the current ROM and install the new one? Can I just install the new one on the SD card and *BAM* thats it? do i have to clean the traces of the old ROM?
I have a million questions basically. Can SOMEBODY give me step by step instructions of how to do this or give me a link on how to do this?

To make a build work from the SD card, you need to have Windows Mobile OS.
If you want Android working from Nand, just boot into MAGLDR, hardreset your NAND memory, this will wipe the NAND;
Then enter USB Flasher mode in MAGLDR and either you can flash a new ROM or flash CWM Recovery - a tool from which you can install zipped ROM files from your SD.
Basically, chose the ROM you like to install on your device, and follow the steps provided there, those steps will be sufficient to wipe the previous ROM and install the new one.

Dude, you're a duchebag. Why would I come to a forum (not just a forum, but a Q&A forum) if I havent already looked. Thats why I hate XDA, jacka**es like you and every other "senior member" on this dang website. I come here for help and get insulted by you.
Now who looks like the dumba**? The person that actually needs help or the person that takes to time to not only point out that your a "noob" but also gives you links the the forum that I was already on.
I wish that there was another webiste other than XDA that was interested in HELPING PEOPLE. Rather than just putting them down. The "senior members" need to take a look at themselves and come off their high and mighty cloud and actuall take the time to help the ones that need it.

Wow, no need to be so harsh. And if you keep that up you'll just help turn this into a flame thread, hence the lock down of this thread by a mod. Look at the second link he gave you, it contains links to all the useful information about a HD2, and the answers to your question.
Anyways, look at this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
That thread will give you all the answers, read, read, read, I'm dead serious, it has all the answers.
Read the whole thing.
Best of luck.

Start by going to the windows mobile 6.5 dev thread and in the sticky you will find the task29 without mtty thread, get it. Check what radio you're running and if you don't have the 2.15.50, get it from the same sticky. Now come to android nand dev and find the latest MGLDR and get that too, find a rom you would like to use, find the partition size for such rom and get it.
Now start by task29.
Flash 2.15.50 radio if you don't have it.(if you do skip it)
Flash MGLDR- Either thru DAF or RUU.
Flash Clockworkmod recovery with needed partition.
Copy all your SD card content to pc and within clockworkmod advanced settings, format SD card to 1024mb with 0 swap.
Drop into the SD card the rom zip only and flash it, once done you can transfer the rest of your stuff back to the SD card from pc.
I hope this can help you a bit with your learning of android flashing in the hd2

Go to the HTC website and flash the latest stock ROM 3.14 for HD2. After this all you need to do is download a ROM from the SD Android section, place the Android folder on the root of your SD card (i.e. not in any folders), go to file explorer, in Android run CLRCAD and then HaReT.

Luckily I'm on O2 UK so I may be able to attach it. I've never tried this though so sorry if it doesn't work.
You tell me if it worked.
EDIT: clearly it didn't. You can try this one though.

Ok, i think it´s not possible.

android

does somebody knows a good video to install android on the htc hd2 with htc sense ?

You should search in the Hd2 section btw...........but this thread is a good start

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Yeah, please search in the future.
Although it isn't a video tutorial, this guide couldn't be clearer.

thanks for the tipps but i don´t like to install it over the NAND toolkit i wanna make it over the sd card

Well then there really is no need for a video guide because it couldn't be simpler. You should also make yourself clearer in the OP, saves everyone time.
1. Update to the latest stock ROM 3.14 with radio 2.15.50
2. Download a ROM from the SD section
3. Place the folder labelled Android (it may have a different name, but it is essentially the folder in which the files are directly stored) on the root of your SD card
4. In WinMo go to the file explorer, open the file explorer and run CLRCAD then HARET.
5. After first boot, reboot a few times then enjoy Android

thank you Nigeldg

Here's is a few video's about the question you have along with a useful video about XDA.
1. Useful video on being new to XDA
2. Several video's about installing Android onto the HD2 can be found here and here (if you want a sense ROM download a sense
ROM instead of the one in the video) the steps however will be the same for either
3. re-read each step several times over and try to get an understanding of whats going on
BEFORE you begin to flash the ROM over
4. if you are stuck and can't figure it out use the search button to try and find answers, still stuck
open a thread up and ask for help
5. I'd also like to add that if your really desperate there are tutorials you can buy on ebay ($2-$10 normally) and a person on
facebook found here that will do it for you for an enormous charge. I think its under LARIS in the middle of the page
Hopefully this will get you going and you can use the video's along with the guides other member's have provided already. I
forgot to add that there is a really great site that has a great video on installing Android along with some other useful video's
like reverting back to stock and how to load a custom ROM with easy step by step instructions. Here's the link to that.

Fair enough , as for android, you will need an sdcard. A lot of your media, music, pictures etc is stored on the sdcard. Assuming you have an international HD2 (not tmous), most recent roms require an ext4 partition on the sdcard too.
As for broken/outdated links, there may well be mirrors posted in the threads too (search thread for "mirror"). Some people still have certain roms on hdd, so try to post on the thread for a mirror (you have <10 posts, so your post will be redirected to new q&a thread, but we will still see it). Some Devs have requested in the first post that no mirrors be posted for their roms, there is not a lot we can do about that besides asking them for a policy change.
Hope this helps
