Ok, tested Android Desire (newest build) so far, worked quite well for a while.

But, after a while, Facebook disappeared from my device. Very strange. Widget was also gone. Formatted the SD Card and copied the image on the device again, after that, when trying to launch Android, it's stuck on the loading screen. What to do now?

Could someone please tell me how to install an original HD2 rom (no Hard Reset, i got an O2 device and don't want it's OS again)

USB Mass Storage

I use Dans Froyo 2.2, I have no problem with the Mass storage. With the phone on, I just plug in my USB cable, it comes up on the phone asking if I want to use USB Mass Storage, and I just click yes. I make sure the USB Debugging is OFF when I do this. Presto, can transfer from the PC with ease.

New Guy here. I have HD2 and want the Most Fully working version of Andriod, preferably 2.2 on the Phone. Which Specific ROM is the one for me? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orimarjr69:
Thank You!!! Tutorial works Perfect.

T-Mobile HD2 Software (Version 2.13.531.1)

with HSPL 2.10

Radio 2.10.50.26

WinMo 6.5

Adroid Desire v5

Installed HSPL3_PKG risk free to 2.8 so you cannot brick

Then changed radio to 2.12.50.02 Curing my Robot Voice drama

I installed dual boot by JMZ before flashing my Rom to Miri_HD2_WM65_21908_Sense25_V17.0_WithSwype

which killed it. But reinstalled to the new Rom just fine.

It was 3 easy steps.

Note: All this was done after I had already Installed Android Desire and all went very smooth. I just followed all Direction to the T on the Forum

Buy the man a drink cause this just plain works.

Thanks to all and I tried to DONATE at least 5$ or 8$ pending on country,to each developer, keep up the good work.:)

i got desire v5 running on my HD2, but i'm still having the buzzing (fastward) sounds.

it might be due to my rom (merlion leo v1.7) & radio (2.08).

will try to download the latest radio from elsewhere (i cannot download from megaupload) & try again, too much a trouble to reflash & reinstall all my WM apps.

some Qn:

i notice there isn't any contacts when i boot into Android, & activesync just don't recongise my HD2 in Android mode.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HD GEEK:
try changing your radio first if not solved then try flashing 1 of the radios listed in post 1

i couldn't download the radio file @ home, will try to download tml in office.

but while playing with v5 (w/o sound) i encounter few problems.

1. i couldn't get my data to work, wifi works well. (think might be radio issuse, or is there network wiz in it)

2.

it seems laggy in some parts (eg: accessing menu & loading pics), when phone went to sleep mode, it needs a few press on the End-Call power to wake it up. sometimes, it just power off by itself.

I am currently trying out the Froyo rom that dani3l (can't remember exactly how he spells it) guy is setting up which is kicking some serious but, two questions

1) how do I feed back to this dani3l guy about bugs I have found?

2) I have to many friends for my sim card anyone else know the best way to sync my contacts rather than the sim method.

Noob Question...

So, I have Chucky's ROM, Radio 2.10.50.07U, SPL 2.08.HSPL. Question is I am trying to boot harlet.exe from the memory card, and even though it starts the boot it freezes in the process and does not respond. Battery pull brings it back to Chucky. Memory card was formatted and then originally harlet and associated files were placed in a folder named android on memory card. Problem number one is when harlet was executed it would not. I then placed the files straight on the memory card and this seemed to fix the non-boot problem. Now, during boot up HD2 freezes on the boot up screen and becomes non-responsive. Any suggestions?

Bootscreen goes black

I have been playing around with this all day but just cant get past the android boot screen. It starts running the android boot screen, and then after about 15 seconds the screen fades to black and nothing more happends. The led keeps on flashing but the phone is dead. A reboot fixes the black screen, but I would like to try out android as well not just windows.

Anyone had this problem and knows what I do wrong? I have tried froyo build and desire build, same problem each time.

I didn't format my card and mine works fine using the Desire 5 build...

Although to limit potential issue's i presume its prob a good idea...

Does anyone know if you can delete the FSCK files that build up on the storage card ? I'm hoping that maybe you can keep the last one thats been generated and delete the rest anyone done this (i did search but couldn't find an answer so sorry if its been asked before)

Also with my android the first 4 times i ran it i had issue's, freezing, really slow, and then after that it ran a lot better but when i went back to windows i had to set the time,date and wifi info, but the last prob 8 times i've used Android and gone back to windows i haven't had to do anything and its getting better each time i run android, still have to wait a fair while for the thing to boot up, and i've also noticed that all the apps are running upon installation i just use app killer to switch them all off, the bizarre thing is though i haven't altered anything at all setup wise windows or android and its definatly improving...

Hi all,

Thought I'd share my testing :)

My base is radio 2.07.50.27.2 and EnergyRom.

Using,

HTC Sense (HTC Desire base rom) v5 (21-July-2010)

Too many positives to list :cool:

Problems:

No visible facebook app installed?

Not able to link facebook to contacts

Removing some widgets (HTC Clock), then putting them back on, causes a freeze, sometimes upto a few minutes, and the widget still doesnt return.

Occasional g.bg.com failure?

keyboard can be irratic at times, randomly typing stuff, then other times very responsive.

Must use android apps (all available from the market):

Advanced task killer (Free. Saves your battery)

Yahoo Mail (Free. I'm not a fan of the HTC mail)

Handcent SMS (Free. very nice and quick SMS app)

Other apps:

Sprite Mobile to migrate contacts, sms, bookmarks and call logs from winmo to android.

Bootloaders... I've pretty much tried all of them and all seem to have there problems :( currently testing Android Loader v4 :)

Hope that helps anyone :)

I am running stock rom for tmoUS HD2. I recently flashed to energy rom and elegancia rom in order to be compatible with the Android. The problem I have encountered with the roms are my data speeds have plummetted. On stock I usually get 4 up 1-2 down but on the roms I get 56k like speeds.

I went back to stock and my speeds returned but android does not run very well from a stock rom. I ran the auto configure the data on the phone and nothing worked. Are my settings wrong? Is there any specific settings that must be used in NRG to get data to work properly?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] g29er:
What Radio are you using? If you are using anything under a 2 08 it will be slow.

I am using Chucky AndroidRom which is a very barebones windows rom and mainly for people who only want to run Android over it. It also has an Android bootloader that automatically boots up the Hared file as you turn the phone on. You can run any build of Android over it. I am running Darkstone Froyo with it and it is pretty fast.

One very important thing to remember is to use the 7/23 Zimage file instead of the 7/25 that alot of Android builds have. You can find all these files at the beginning of this thread.

This setup is working pretty well for me and I am mainly using it as my main ROM. My internet speeds are a little slower but not 56k slow.
