Well, good for you, getting the HD2 for $50.00! Do you know any more suckers that are selling at that price?

Your questions:

1) I would say hands down Cyanogen Mod 7. BUT FIRST! Give up on the idea of running Android from the SD card! Get an alternative boot loader like cLK or MAGLDR (my preference) and run Android in NAND memory. That's the internal memory on your phone and you will be displacing Windows. It's faster, easier to use and more stable. I find the TyphooN ROMs to be the best. Get the 3.7.0 (stable) version, with installation instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=933951. Read everything.

2) Simple. Windows sucks. Android doesn't

3) No. See #1

4) Yes. The one with the phone is class 2. I have a class 10. It's 5 times faster I think. It's probably a good investment anyway, but less important if you're running Android in NAND rather than from the card. TyphooN can put some apps on the card for you.

5) see #4

6) see the link in #1. Also see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11097380

The instructions at the top of this forum are good, but check the specific instructions for the ROM you will be installing for the latest info. Also read the forums.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] walts:
There are threads on the forums about restoring the original factory ROM. When you flash alternative ROMS there is always a chance that you will do something wrong and brick your phone - but if you are careful and follow the instructions on the forums I think the chances are slight.

If you're not willing to take the chance, then you might want to stick with running Android from SD.

I am stack at the begining

It is my first attempt to install android on my HD2 on the SD card.

I copied the MccMBoxmaX+GS+V+11+[Sense+2.1+3.0]+3D+Super+smooth ROM (I think it is called ROM)

At first I copied it to the root folder

I run CLRCAD and then HARET. The phone rebooted ,the black screen with the white small letters up left, showed the green HTC logo and after some seconds it booted again in windows mobile.

After some atempts I noticed that I should copy the files to E:\Android. I did so and then run CLRCAD, but now the phone says it is not possible to run this program because it is not signed by a trusted credential or some of the program's components cannot be found. (I am translating the message from Greek) .

The card is formated with the SD card formater

I am stack and don' t know how to continue

Radio 2.15.50.14

ROM 3.14.482.2 (04666) ELL

SPL 3.03

Been running Android from SD card for a while.

Recently switched from T-Mobile to Vodafone. Now I'm getting very poor reception in Android, yet in Windows it is very strong.

Not talking a small difference, can say no signal in Android and have full in Windows.

Is this normal? I never noticed it before switching networks and assumed that the radio would give equal levels in both.

Problems in ICS Beta 7 build 14 (SD) and Wind 7.5 Mango (Nand) dual boot

Hello Great minds here,

Device HTC HD 2 / 16 GB (Transcend SD Class4) with two partitions 7.4 for Win and balance loaded with ICS at root.

I installed windows 7.5 SP 1 Mango (Yuki) working great - Tons and loads of thanks to Yuki (team).

I installed ICS Beta 7 Build 14 working great with almost all features looked in so far. thanks and applaud to Ankuch. Many thanks for such work. Installed as per the tutorials for dual boot. However, I face the following issues:

1. In settings option of ICS total internal storage reported only .96 GB. On using ES Explorer error reported no SD card mounted. SD card formatted with , FAT 32 as primary partition , unused 6.17 GB. For win it is logical partition.

2. At no point of time did I run Haret.exe or ClrCad.

3. Reports no USB storage, this is as advised by ROM Chef.

4. Is there any application which gives an option to boot into ICS or WIN as startup. Tried exceller Boot loader but the thread notified that it is for adndroid / ubuntu, so did not load. Pls advise if there is any application.

5. If I boot into win 7.5 and then switch off to boot into ICS, the booting fails. Reason I noticed that win 7.5 locks the SD. Then reboot into win 7.5, unlock the SD and then boot into ICS thru Magldr. Kindly advise whether this is correct or I have done some installation error.

Thank you in advance for the amazing knowledge and ideas you people.

Thanks a ton.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] walts:
If you don't need Windows Mobile, then NAND is the way to go. If you do want Windoze, then there's no choice, you must use SD. Some people say SD is slower. I use NAND, but when I was using SD some months ago, it didn't really seem slower.

SD Card problem, Android, Software Issue

Hi everybody,

I am experiencing a bit of a problem with my HTC HD2 running wp7 and android on the sd card. So far everything is working fine (WP7 runs perfectly, Android at least technically too).

My problem ist, that Android is not recognizing any sd card, so I am not able to take pictures and so on. I'm always getting the message that tells me to insert a sd-card.

Is there a way to mount a second img file as sd card? Or do I have to set up another partition on the card?

I googled it and checked the forum, but I guess I missed something. I am always getting threads from people having problems with the sd card itself (not able to boot from, etc).

Hi,

I have kind of a cosmetic problem.

I have clk 1.5 running and a working ROM, so technically everything is fine

.

My Problem is that after the second splashscreen, there is the kind of a part of the HTC intro for less than half/quarter of a second. Its like a single frame or so.

I have a custom Splash 1 & 2 (I used nbimg1.1 to install them). And I just installed a custom splash 3 (before the bootanimation) via the initrd.gz and the problem is still there.

BUT if I boot into clk, and boot nand from there, this "glimpse" doesn't happen.

So I come to the conclusion that the part from the HTC intro is nothing associated with the ROM but with the Bootloader part of the internal storage.

Any suggestions?

I'd really appreciate it, as I couldn't find any information on this.

Here's some feedback from running dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-Sense-PR1...

- Internet browsing is intermittent. Sometimes a page will load completely, and sometimes it won't even start. When it does start and then fails a box will pop up titled "Data Connectivity Problem" and the text within the box says "The server failed to communicate. Please try again." Mostly, it doesn't work. Of course everything is fine via WiFi.

- Yahoo Messenger won't work at all; I have to turn on WiFi for it to get a connection.

- Nook won't sync or download books without WiFi.

- Email and texting seem to be fairly good. I've only had an issue once where email wouldn't sync. When I was running Desire v5 it almost never worked.

- Phone seems fine as well, but the volume is a bit low. Even when it's turned up all the way. I've only made one call thus far, but my friend said I sounded ok, but with a slight echo. Since it was just the one call it may not be an issue, but I thought it's worth mentioning. Also, during the beginning of the call, as I moved the phone to and from my head the screen turned off and on respectively, but when we ended the call and I moved it away from my head, the screen stayed black and I needed to do a reset. Maybe related to the screen timeout, but I've not had any problems with that otherwise.

- When I try to recharge the battery the plug symbol shows up in the center of the battery indicator, but the battery still drains - no charging. EDIT: That was with zimage dated 7/22...with the 7/23 version it's charging.

I'll keep playing around and see what else there is...

My Experience...

Ok, First off I wanna thank everybody who is involved with this or any other hacks, You guys are the ****! So...

I first loaded one of Miri's v17 roms cause I read it worked great with Android and I installed Dan's Froyo... My first experience was getting a good zhare file and I tryed them all but no matter what my phone would reboot or sleep of death.

Then I tried ChuckyRom and still experienced the same problem when using Dan's Froyo or Paradoxus's, Phone would just turn off or reboot on its own.

Now Im running Astrioa's rom with Dan's Froyo and I am still getting reboot's, Not as often but there still there.

So my question is, What am I doing wrong or what am i missing and has any one else experince the same problem and how was it fixed? I appreciate any help, I got a HD2 cause I loved the idea of Dual Boot and it almost works flawlessly except the reboot, So if anyone has time to comment or help with my problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

updating android 2.2

With the help from the guide and material for noobies on the forum I am able to flash Nand android 2.2.1 baseband version 2.6.32.15 build gauner 1986hdf1 on my HTC hd2 T8585 with win6.5 . the android version is working fine with the mobile.

However I wish to seek some clarifications about the following doubts.

1. Whether it will be in order to further update/f this rom to jelly bean 4.2.2 or flash any other rom suitable for updating the 2.2.1 or compatible with it and where I can find links to proceed further.Is there a need for further updating or should I continue with the existing rom.

2. despite running setup 3.3.63.exe downloaded from HTC to sync with my Pc , the mobile does not sync means that the HTC sync says no device detected when the phone is in fact connected via original cable ! However I can mount the card and copy pictures from the computer . How to sync.

whether Rom manager will work with my installed version.2.2.1

Vol up down + power on leads to rebooting not to bootloader with usb. how to do it.

If I have posted in wrong place please advise. rectify.

thanks

Hi vkwd7, and welcome to xda.

This is an old thread with old guides and old roms, but it was very useful in its day.

There is a newer method of booting android from wm6.5, see this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1986437

I would not advise using rom manager to update any android rom when also using wm6.5, whichever method you choose (SD booting or NativeSD), since it is for nand android roms.

Most newer roms found here http://xdaforums.com/hd2-android/nand-dev will also install using nativeSD.

Happy Flashing

Edit; I think HTC sync only works with android Sense roms. In which case your choice of newer roms might be limited if you need this feature.
