[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] curitosi:
hi i'm new here

hi, I literally just began here but I respect this thread, my sister just gave me an htc hd2 that says with htc sense on the back cover, when I first booted it up surprisingly she says someone "unlocked her phone from the sim for her, but there was way more to that story, this htc hd2 was rooted, but unfortunately the os it was running was very outdated and I couldn't even access the marketplace or let alone the browser apk was missing and so began the long days and nights attempting to update the os to something I can play my favorite mobile game avabel with , but then I somehow ended up removing the nand android rom and then eventually I got stuck withy nothing bu.t clockwork mod recovery and magldr, with most of the links busted around like almost the entire internet I thought it was high time I introduce myself to xda, now I'll just say, i'm pretty sure I don't know what I am getting into or what I am doing, but I've been awake 3 days straight next to a coffee table, and since then, I was able to get twrp 2.2.0 installed, clk is installed, all that's missing is a custom rom, unfortunately it seems I am like a decade late to the party and there's a superpandemic outside, and despite all that, this hd2 may just walk...yet again. Seriously though does anyone know of any Actual working links as of 2020 june? preferably any without malware but if I have to sacrifice windows might be worth it, because at this point, i'm feeling all in, I really want to see this phone operate like normal again with twrp and clk, seems extremely beneficial. I really like the idea someone has posted this because it definitely needs a second thought , I see so many people invested time and hard work into this, even on GitHub there are still remains of hundreds of lines of code, and I'm personally just really curious and interested of the idea, Can a decade old phone still be rooted and working? if not on a new rom maybe an old one might still function? most of the rom links have been defunct and some even have some pretty nasty malware, seriously all these viruses is really dangerous, not mention annoying, but that's common know how. I found some files, I might try and create a spot somewhere that will hopefully preserve itself where people can at least install the toolkit and the nbh/nbr/ruu file that got me to twrp, I feel a bit closer now than I did being stuck with just clockwork mod, my two biggest roadblocks right now are the fact that cyanogen mod no longer has their old roms functional and I don't know what to do to properly setup and install a custom rom other than navigating the recovery to install the zip file it sits in but every time I try to do so twrp replies back checking the md5 file, no file found, the line immediately after that just says error etc. which makes me wonder, is it just me? or is this md5 error something deeper? or am I just downloading the wrong stuff, some installations seemed to almost work because instead of that error it replies back what phone the rom was actually intended for. I believe from those statistics and digging that htc hd2 may have run out of working rom links that actually work or my phone has a program or some left over data lodged in the filesystem somewhere ,that is preventing me from installing properly, it's driving me a bit bananas, but I feel like there is something more to this than I thought, most youtube videos just show someone either using twrp to flash the zip or the adb to flash twrp itself (unrelated) but the main struggle is what is this md5 check? and how do I fix it? or is the rom just supposed to automatically run? but yet again, unfortunately I canot find any working links because I don't understand if my phone is just malfunctioning due to something left unchecked?(possible sd card corruption?) or if these links I've downloaded from aren't including good data I can use to load and use the rom. any help with working rom links would truly be appreciated, and with much gratitude I leave this post here, my apologies for the long message by the way, been writing a lot of school papers today,
