[HD2 General] C0dy:
I have a Mytouch 3G at the moment, it's getting slower and slower everyday and it's driving me crazy. A friend of mine is willing to sell me his HD2 for $175 (comes with original packaging, accessories, etc.) Seems like a good deal to me, but I wanted to know some things before I make my decision.

Is ROM development active (for WinMo and Android?)

How well does Android run on the HD2?

How is the overall speed of the device on WinMo?

Am I getting a good deal?
[HD2 General] siddharth singh:
it is really worth buying though the stoch wm sucks u can still upgrade to energy roms (the one which i preffer) it just sprints with android on nand and wp7 i havent tried ...comming bach to the question ya hd2 is quite stable and fast on energy roms but stock roms are crappy ... get it :)
[HD2 General] imcunner:
I have a htc hd2. I like it very much. Yes you can flash this phone to andriod. It is very to flash it and there are tons if roms.
[HD2 General] mezcal9:
Rom development seems active.

Decent price.

I've bought 2 off CL here in the Bay Area.

One for $150 and one for $200.

Most of them are listed for much higher than that but I doubt they're selling.

Gotta be careful since many of the HD2s seem to be having hardware issues.

First one I bought is showing signs of impending MB failure which is no doubt why the dude sold it.

Not sure how one would test for that in a short meetup since it's intermittent.

OT: CL is filled with grifters and frauds anymore.

Just following in the footsteps of our politicians and business leaders I suppose.

Sigh.
[HD2 General] sanjinho:

man buy the hd 2... why not one of the best phones on the market... :D:D
[HD2 General] Kang the Conqueror:
Buy the HD2 and flash an android rom it will seem like a brand new phone.
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Yes it is worth buying, especially for the amount of money you're getting it for.
[HD2 General] XPLANE9:
Hell yes! All HD2s in my area go for 250+ on craigslist, plus this phone is just about the most supported phone with devs.
[HD2 General] aznprodgy:
depending on the condition and cosmetics of the HD2, $175 is a good deal. Im used to android on my Glacier/mytouch 4G, and didnt like the stock win6.5 on the HD2 so I flashed android. ROM development is awesome and there are plenty of options to choose from(android, win6.5, wp7, meego, ubuntu). currently running cm7 rc4 and havent had any issues with the ROM or device
[HD2 General] oleggl:
I bought my HD2 T-Mobile half a year ago on e-bay for $210 and it is really the best smart on the market nowadays.

This phone definitely worth buying (T-Mobile version is preferred since it has more memory).
[HD2 General] eenbox:
Agree! Just to add that we all hope AT&T and T-Mobile merger never goes through and that way we keep using our HD2s in full 3G capabilities!!!

If we end up going to AT&T we are done with HD2 running 3G :(
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
I love my HD2 no doubt. But I'd say no, unless if you can get it for $125 or less. As much as you love a phone, remain objective on what exactly (in concrete terms) the hardware is netting you for the dollar you are forking over.

[HTC Inspire 4G] swr@reederweb.net:
I have been bouncing around testing many different ROM's and finally settled on Core Droid Froyo build.

What I noticed is that the car panel app now appears to be tied to a Premium Nav subscription. Voice dialer tells me that I have an invalid license and the Nav buttons are grayed out.

Previous ROM's including rooted stock appeared to use Google Nav as part of the car panel.

What am I missing here?
[HTC Inspire 4G] swr@reederweb.net:
Update, easy work around for this is to grab the google car home app in use it for the car feature.

It will not load on this phone from the app store, so you will have to find an alternative dowload of the apk to install.

Works good, uses google maps and is semi customizable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Maedhros:
Hi. Go to Settings>location and select integrate google navigation
[HTC Inspire 4G] theworm20uk:
tried that still doesnt have the option for gps in car panel ...ill have to try to track down the original .apk
[HTC Inspire 4G] ericcorp:
Google search for google car home APK, the second like is to a droid-life page.

The second link worked for me. Installed fine, and when I clicked the "car panel" app it asked me to use the Sense app or the Google one. I choose the Google app and it's working great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ghostdogg:
Thanks for the tip, worked great for me. After checking I have the option of premium or google navigation. Exactly what I would hope for.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camalus:
You cannot use 3.0.0.5 for stock. You must flash an older recovery or 3.0.0.6 and then it will work. This is covered extensively and has been asked over and over again.

Flash the correct recovery for the rom you want to use and your problem will be solved.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrocityg1:
how can i use the adb outside of android? i must have missed something , i typed adb devices while my device was in recovery it found it and said recovery next to it...what are the commands to issue a flash recovery? flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img ? and where do i enter them? with my device in the recovery? or fastboot? hboot? sorry guys, im burining it too hard at both ends...my brains toast...im open to any thing you got
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalsmadi1:
lol you're thinking at light speed bro...

i'm not exactly sure of the commands but i know if you've got adb set up you should be able to do it. maybe adb shell?? i have no idea as i'm not a developer.

i'm confused why you couldn't get royal glacier flashed, it shouldn't matter which recovery you have with 2.2 roms. sounds like your phone just doesn't want to comply...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryan79:
forgive me... as this is much a partial question as it is a suggestion... (coming from WinMo to Android myself) but can't Clockwork Mod be updated FROM Clockworkmod recovery??

I seem to recall that update.zip is the install for the clockworkmod install... and there's an option within clockwork to install update.zip... isn't that correct?

If so... wouldn't you just download the .zip for 3.0.0.6, copy it to the microSD and install it, then install the ROM of choice?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalsmadi1:

fastboot flash recover recovery.img

U should be golden. Assuming u have windows and adb setup.. hope this helps

Your phone is not bricked. You need to learn adb/fastboot commands on your pc. There are plenty of resources to learn from on xda. Take your time. Sending your phone back to tmo because you don't know exactly what you're doing is plain foolish. Breathe. Read. Read. Read. Fastboot flash clockwork recovery v 3.0.0.6 to your phone using windows command prompt. It will work.

So I missed that he's on orig spl. Doesn't change my position. Before you troll again, do you think he should give in and send the phone back or read some more? It's an easy fix if you know where to start.

EDIT: @atrocityg1 - I wasn't flaming you. Sorry if I was curt. Shocking how many people think their phone is bricked when it isn't. It's obvious fastboot flash isn't working because you don't have an engineering spl. As mr. manning ever so kindly pointed out, I missed that in your post. I still think you can still save your phone but lesson learned...always use the eng spl. I've been begging my wife to let me root her phone.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
You were not careless, I blame the dev that runs the rom manager for not being up to date with his work when so many people are instructed to rely on it.

I would re-read the thread and try one last time, you never know you may have missed something.

Possible try a different 2.3 rom other than cyanogen. Def try to re-flash the last rom you had working correctly as well
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
Correct.

Reading that probably wont fix his problem from here.

You ready for this? Its pretty involved.

For this instruction, i am gonna assume that you have adb setup correctly and that you have it in your $PATH. If not, then just put all the files i mention in your adb tools folder and do the commands from there.

first thing, reboot into recovery and download this file

Then, you need to push that file to /data/ while you have the phone in recovery.

adb push hboot_dhd.nb0 /data/

Once that file is there, you need to reboot the phone. You'll get stuck in the splash screen. Thats fine. while your phone is in this state type

adb shell

You should now have either a $ prompt, or a # prompt. If you have the $ promt, then type

su

and it should change to a #

Once you are at this point is whgere it gets dangerous. If you unplug your phone or anything happens to interupt the next couple of commands, your phone is a paper weight.

//I am not responsible for your phone becoming a paperweight.

ready?

cd /data/

dd if=hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

if all goes well, you will now have the engineering hboot. Congrats.

adb reboot bootloader

your phone should reboot into hboot, and you should have the .85 version.

Download this file.

thats the 3.0.0.6 recovery.img

We're gonna flash that file using fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If all goes well, you will now have the newest, best version of Clockworkmod recovery.

On your phone, using the volume keys, scroll down highlight recovery, and press the power button to select. You should reboot into CWM and it should show the version as 3.0.0.6.

Flash any rom you want. It should boot without issue. Dont forget to say thanks if it works.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeverAlwaysEver:
His problem should be solved by option94's instructions but I was wondering if his phone is even permanently rooted yet or if it got semi bricked while in the process. I thought you need permanent root first and then you can have SU (Super user) access and install eng hboot .85.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmdub:
Just an idea, and I have not actually tried it, but can you push the proper Hboot along with flash_image to the phone via adb? Then flash Hboot with flash_image. Can you get an adb root shell anywhere?

Ok, I am confused. Not sure if you are in a boot loop or have access to recovery/adb. Seems to be some conflicting opinions here.
