Do I need hspl???

Hiya guys well to the point I have a hd2 in my possession and I think the usb port is broke some how so i can't install anything that requires a pc.... I was informed I might b able 2 install a custum windows rom is this possible and any suggestions for possible roms any help appreciated

Yes you can flash custom ROMs via SD card but you still have to have HSPL flashed to your HD2 to be able to flash a custom ROM via SD card. Unfortunately you can only flash HSPL via USB and not SD card, so you can only flash stock ROMs on your HD2 unless you get the USB fixed. Sorry friend.

Thank you very much for the help at least I know now and I'm not gonna be wasting anymore time looking for solutions tink an unsolvable problem lol thanks again

You haven't said whether its a regular hd2 or a tmous. (Tmous has red and green end and send, regular all white)
If it's a regular, then a goldcard will let you use any stock rom, opening the options a little, if its a tmous, then goldcard is of no benefit and you can disregard this post.

Its a regular hd2 mate plain white buttons ....is there anything u can recommend as in basically I realise I'm never gonna have android inbed here but is any modded or custom rom possible I'm not gettin my hopes up tho

Not cooked roms but with a goldcard you can flash any stock rom meaning non branded (if the phone is branded) plus there are tons of tweaks and mods for winmo, go look up cookies home tab, you wont regret it! and as for android you can run it from SD card, no hspl required, , a very popular way.

Thanks for the tip gonna go look it up now

If you have the time and patience to tweak it you can get an android build running from SD almost as smoothly as a nand build, keep WM and have the best of both.

[Q] Which ROM is best for tethering

Hey all:
I just got a G Tablet a couple of weeks back and I put Vegan 5.1 on it. I don't have a smart phone but am getting one. I think the LG GT540 Optimus is the one I am going with. I have taken a quick look at the how to's for this phone and I noticed a how to for something called Eclaire 2.1 and a different thread for "custom 2.1/2.2/2.3". Which one should I go with. Do you know if either would allow me to tether with my G tab? thanks in advance

If you're really interested in tethering, better you buy Optimus One (P500) as it has tethering support in its stock ROM itself. Considering GT540, Mur4ik has already done with Wifi tethering. If you won't mind waiting for perfectly working tethering, then you can have GT540.
But I won't recommend it if you are just interested in tethering. Rather buy any phone that has Official 2.2/2.3 support.
Some recommendations like LG Optimus One, HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy 3 (they both are upgradeable to 2.2).

thank you..

Can't really find your 3 recommendations at a similar price point as the GT540. Are you saying if i put the 2.1 eclaire and root the phone, tethering isn't currently working?

if you want a cheap android phone get the gt540 and upgrade it to the latest CM7 build that has WiFi tether support enabled and if you do get it make a swap partition on the sd card because i am making a softmod rom and it will have a few tweaks included for performance speed and battery

Ok. Just bought it. Partitioned many internal and external drives using windows but never done an sd through android. I'm sure its not so bad. Are the instructions for that cm7 on the forums some where? Thnx for the reply

yeah look at the how to thread in the dev section. it will help you mod your phone.

I read somewhere that you should upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2, then to 2.3. Is this true or can i go from 2.1 to 2.3 directly?
Also. I see a video on how to install cm7. What would be the prereqs, install fastboot and root the phone or?

If you want I can remote control your PC tomorrow to upgrade your phone for you?

appreciate it!!! but I actually get more enjoyment learning and performing this stuff than I do actually using the phone. Let me give it a try, if i can't I'll let you know. Haven't got the phone yet either. It will be shipped over the next few days or so

no problem just take the time to study the guides while the phone is being shipped.

Been reading some and there is a lot of info. I have a question. Can I just follow the instructions provided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12898827&postcount=3 , going to 2.1, 2.2 and so on(can i go to CM7 directly)?
or is there anything else needed to be done too, like rooting etc?

all you need to do is flash a fastboot 2.1 rom then boot into fastboot and direct flash to cm7 if you want.

Just get 2.1 with fastboot then u can go directly to CM7

Thnx all. I will as soon as i get the phone

Thanks for the infos. I'll try them

Any rom that supports tethering should do.
I'd recommend 2.1 with Quarx kernel

Hey All: Got the phone yesterday. I think I installed everything last night. Had some issues, though I bricked the phone a few times.
There is one weird thing. When I shutdown the phone. I press power to restart, it does this quick vibrate, then does nothing for like 30 secs, this is where i thought he phone was messed, but then it starts up. not sure what's up?
One more quick thing, how do you get into recovery mode, cause I think i need to do one of those factory resets after install right? thanx

there a guide here somewhere, simple exe to your phone very easy

It just means if your phone is sim locked ie can only use sim from a specific network make sure you flash the Rom for that network

install rom via ADB

Fellow XDA friends,
A couple weeks ago my phone slipped out of my hand and the digitzer broke...
I ordered a new digitizer from Ebay and i managed to replace it.
Now comes the BUT..
i cracked my SD card slot ( i think ) the sd card wont stick in there and when i push it in it won't read it..
Now i'm still on a verry buggy build from Jelly bean so i want to have a stable rom.
Can anyone give me specific directions how i can flash my rom via ADB or anything like that ?
I was also thinking about mounting my laptop as SD card but that won't work out right..
Thankss

You can do it through fastboot. Search the forum or Google for specific instructions.

Okay thanks but can someone give me step by step instructions ?
I really dont wanna screw up
Thanks for your replies !

Try this link. Step 2 depends on your phone. You need to load the bootloader. For the dhd that's power and volume down. You must be rooted and eng s-off.

google 'riffbox' or 'ortjtag'
and you also need a jig (which may or may not come with the jtag box) so also google 'jtag hd2 jig'
