I heard that some people have gotten Android 5.1 runnin' on their HTC HD2 via ROM reflash, I want it be able to boot from the SD Card from HaRET.exe, like most of the ROM's inside another forum. I don't want to mess with 'MAGLDR' or deleting WinMo.
Any thoughts?
did you try this?

If my hd2 has 1024mb of flash size and radio version 2.10.50.56, do I need to flash anything prior to putting the files on my sd card? i want to boot the Droid OS from the sd card without having to permanently change anything on the phone. Do i need any of the "custom roms"; or can i just start from the step of formatting my sd card, putting the files on, and running clrcad.exe and then haret.exe?
btw the files i have are from a demonoid torrent, but i can't post the link due to being a new user. its the only torrent on demonoid for Android for HD2
Your 2.10.50 radio is compatible with android.
I don't know why you thought to go to demonoid for an android build. All of the builds are FREE. Whatever was posted there is an earlier build from XDA that is by now dated.
This is also not DROID OS. The system is called anrdroid, droid is a trademark used by motorola and verizon to market their android handsets. You have an HTC be proud of it.
Check out the different android versions in the Android development section, each will have its own instructions. My personal choice is shubCRAFT 1.5.
Also, search more to get yourself out of official n00b status.
thanks for your helpful answer. can you point me in the direction of where i can start reading. this site has so much information i don't know where to start. for instance what would be my first step for putting the android os on my phone. where can i find shubcraft 1.5...etc
thanks in advance.
Head to the "android developmen" forum for the HD2. You are currently in "android development general" for the HD2. You will find all the buildes there along with some stickied threads to get you up and running. I recommend reading the first few pages of each sticky, plus the first few posts of each build. If you run into issues with a specific build, post your questions in that thread instead of starting a new one. That will hell you to get the quickest response. Best of luck to you and welcome to the wild world of the HD2. The best of WinMo and Android!

hay guys sorry id some of you get mad for me posting this here but this is the only place i know my qustion will get answered. OK im new to the windows phone deal. i have a mytouch slide and a g1 rooted so i under that hole part here is my ?.
From what i have read on the forums only build roms work with the hd2. well i would like to put android on it but after looking around most the roms on here and the links on here for putting android on the phone all lead to the LEO forum is the correct or no if not can someone tell me were to get the most resent android rom for the hd2 usa, now there seems to be two ways of installing it one is from sd card and 2 is from boot i would like to do it from boot any help would be grate thanks all and happy modding
Someone correct me if I am wrong...
There are not TWO ways of doing android.
Android is ALWAYS installed on the SD card. The only way to "boot" to it is to have your WM configured to boot the two files from your SD card required to run it, in essence there are a few apps that can do this at WM startup.
You will still need an Android friendly Windows Mobile ROM, so the stock from will not work. You also need a compatible radio.
I would check out the HD2 Android Dev forum for more info though.

The Android port cannot replace the WinMo OS just yet. The only way is to install it to your SD Card and it will run off of that. There are apps that allow you to choose between WinMo and Android on bootup. The LEO Android forum is correct since Android builds do not matter which device it is booted on.
Android is able to run on the Stock ROM, but people have said it runs better with a different ROM/Radio.
The build I recommend is Energy ROM / Radio 2.12.50.02_2 and an Android Build of your choice, but you can always run it on the Stock if you feel like it.

+1 EnergyROM w/ 2.12.50.02 radio works very nicely for me.

I would look Here (FroyoStone thread) first and see how you like it. Latest release Sep 2nd.
Also when you download the Rom your prob wanna need the rmnt version. Froyostone is the best my far for me and bootloaders are for people with more then one Android Rom on there sdcard

Hi all,
I am absolutely new in this world of Android ROM's and have respect for those guys who are able to make Android work on the HD2 but I have a question.
Is it ever going to be possible to flash an Android ROM on the HTC HD2 so it is permanently installed so overwriting Windows Mobile?
dude... check the sticky:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817261
in short, yes it should be coming soon, but it's possible that it will take some more time for NAND roms (internal memory "install") to be better/faster/more complete than SD
Hi,
Okay, thanks. Would be great when they succeed flashing an Android ROM on the HD2.
Now I got the taste of Android I don't want to go back to Windows. There is so much more possible with Android. Tons of apps and really nice looking and usefull apps.
hello everyone. i recently had my touch pro2 swapped out for the hd2 and i would like to put android on it. i've found some files from a developer named darksense but i'm not quite sure how to make use of them. can anyone explain how to install android on a fresh HD2? or at least link me to a thread in the forums that will help. thank you in advance
p.s. i've noticed two installation methods(SD and NAND) i'd prefer the NAND because from what i've gathered, i dont HAVE to have an SD card that will hold the OS

Click on the link in my sig for my guide and read the whole thing before flashing anything. Also I have to guides on how to install Android linked at the top of my guide.
Dear XDA-dev's & Users
Since a few days i have a HTC HD2
and i'm looking to flash it towards an Android Gingerbread.
i have done some flashing before on my nokia N97, and dont fear 'difficult' manuals.
As of reading some fora i'm willing to flash the NAND instead of a SD-rom (wich i think to be slower). no way i'm going back to WM6.5
however that's also where my 'ignorance' kicks in:
i'm severly suspecting that an SD-rom cant be used as a NAND-rom
is this true?
What is the difference between a ZIP-ROm and a NAND-rom/SD-rom?
The os i found most interesting doesnt list a rom, how do i know if its suited to be used as a NAND rom (i've read some using a partition on the sd card so i'm afraid its an SDrom
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062881
and a final (probably expert obvious) question:
whats the exact benefit/ function of Clockwork/MAGLDR? (somethimes its even viewed as a mod instead of a program as stated in manuals)

Hi,
You are right in that you cannot use an sd-rom as a nand rom.
My suggestion is to start reading up on the subjects you need to start installing roms.
Please start reading here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
Read also in my sig,guide number 2.
Finally,here is a list of current roms to choose from:

The more you read,the more you will learn,the fewer mistakes you will make
Thanks
Thanks dude, I was also looking for similar information.
