Firstly, thanks for putting so much information about your phone.
All you need to do is go to the Android ROM section for the HD2 on here and select an ROM you like the look of. The chef of the ROM gives instructions on how to get Adnroid running.
You are not flashing Android to your phone, but actually running it from the SD Card. You download the files into a folder called Android in the root of the SD Card. Then you run two files in this folder. WinMo will shut down and reboot into Android (this initial boot will take about 20 minutes).
There is also an app in that section which gives you the option to switch between operating systems at bootup - this is installed in WinMo.
The only problem I have found is the first boot back to WinMo is that the time and date was totaly wrong. That problem disapeared the next time.
I won't recomend which ROM to use, as I haven't used Android that much and what I might like you may not.
thnxs for replyng but just tel me as there r too mny options ..i just need help tht wht rom wil b suitble for mine as it says tht u have 2 hve rom 10.6 or 201. sumthng like tht..
n i think i cudnt find tht andriod section for hd2..cus u give me a link plss
The only real requirement is to have a RADIO 2.8.50 or above (of the .50 type) - which you already have on your phone.
* HERE * is the one I used. I downloaded '512MB data.img' and 'DOWNLOAD v. 4.6'. I unzipped them and placed the files in 'Android' in the root of the SD Card. Used file explorer on the phone to run "CLRCAD.exe" then "haret.exe". The phone then booted into android. It looks good and runs well, although I haven't fully tested it. If you want to replace it with another, then simply replace the Android Folder.
I'm not giving you answers but i wanted to advise you :
When you use correct grammer and spelling, Good English, you will get more attention and more people will answer your question
yes thnk u soo much it wrkd but battry drains very fast..and why does it goes bck to htc sense after everytime its off.....do i need to run haret al the time after i switch it on?? arnt there any method where i can let it be on andriod ..??

your android system will remain the same, apps, contacts and all, every time you reboot - if you do not upgrade/update your android files.
And yes, you do need to go thru the same steps every time you reboot your phone. Run CLRCAD, then HARET.
There are a couple of autoload/booters floating around the forums. I personally use m_skip's autoloader (do a search, sorry, I don't have the link)
And yes, android does use up the battery pretty fast. There are a lot of helps to stop this - but you need to do your own searching on that in the android threads

Tried to make a copy of my ROM to SD Card. Dialog Box shows it copying but after completing in 6mins or so nothing shows on the card. I want to back up prior to copying XDA ROM and unlocking. Any advice would be appreciated.
well
you dont really need to save it on your sd card. You can just back it up in a file on your pc. click the browse button beside the combo box(ie the button with 3 dots) and select a name and a path. it would transfer the os to your pc and u can keep the back up there where its safer. :wink:
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I've already tried that and I just get an error message - Unsupported target filetype - don't know how to write destinationfile c:\Program Files\etc...
well
okay this is what you'll do :: put this line in the destination "c:\rom\os.nb1"; for the source select the combo box then select from device and it should work. if it doesnt then reply me asap. :roll:
Thanks again but unfortunately entering c:\rom\os.nb1 in the destination dialog didn't work. It returned: error opening c:\rom\os.nb1 for writing. The system cannot find the path specified. error opening target device.
Well
PS. Should also add I didn't quite understand your reference to "for the source select the combo box then select from device and it should work. if it doesnt then reply me asap
Well
PS. Should also add I didn't quite understand your reference to "for the source select the combo box then select from device and it should work. if it doesnt then reply me asap
check the image i just sent u. ull see what i asked you to click for the source.(Device Memory (current rom))
then for the destination clikc the 3 dots on its side and type in a name eg os.nb1 and lcick open. :!: :?:
Cool
Thanks, man. It looks like that's done the trick. It's currently copying. Once that's done I believe I need to load the XDA ROM to facilitate the unlock. Many thanks for your help.
David
no probs men. but i need to unlock some 2 more phones an am having a hell of a time. my bros samsung e700 and my dads hp6315. do u by any chance know how i can get that done
I wish I could reciprocate but unfortunately I don't know much about my Wallaby let alone those you've mentioned. I've just downloaded the XDA ROM and my device is not accepting it. Reading stuff on the forum to try to figure out what the problem is. Don't want to take away from your other problems with the Samsung and HP but let me know if you've heard of any problems as to why a device won't accept the XDA ROM. I'm probably doing something wrong.
Cheers for now.
okay i see you really do not know much. now all you have to do is get the special edition rom u get. then use the same program u used to backup your rom to upload the new one. i really want you to be 100% sure you have a back up. then duplicate the back up for safety reasons. Then extract the speacial edition rom. if its just the rom u got the use the program to do it. if its the whole installation u got a progamm called PROGRAMME A should open and it will guide you throught. Then i hope your phone is a wallaby/qtek 1010/ o2 xda/tmobile MDA they are all the same. else your better stop now. then why dont you lets chat i think it had be easier. yahoo ::nowoxi or msn ::[email protected]
Unfortunately, I haven't IM loaded currently. However, what you told me is a big help. I do have the MDA version of the phone so I'll try that when I get back as I have to leave right now. Thanks again and I'll keep you posted as to how it works out.
Hi nowoxi,
got a problem with OSImageTool, I did my own ROM copy but now how can I upload it to my device in case of need(mine is 2020..)? Do I need a SD card or I can do it directly from the xda image program? Many thanks
P.S. if you find a Yahoo mess request,well...it's me!
Didnt really get your compostition. I dont know where to start from or what to think. I know you have a problem and i know its with the ostool but i really dont get (understand) what your problem is. The rom u said u have. is it one you cooked up or the one on your phone before. then wher edo u wanna send stuff to. your phone or you wanna backup the one on your phone :?:
Sorry for the confusion, here's the story.
I'm the owner of an Orange SPV m1000, I received it last week and don't know much about PocketPC....my device is an English version, I'd like to convert it to an Italian one. I found an ITA ROM (it's for Qtek 2020 but it should work..) and soon I'd like to try to flash it. In case of need (maybe something wrong in the flashing...) I'd like to keep a copy of the original ROM installed in my device so I used XDAtools to get one, as you explained in this thread. Now I have this .nb1 file in my pc and the question is: can I upload it from my pc directly in case something goes wrong during the upgrade flashing? Or should I copy the .nb1 file to the SD card first and then try to flash from it ( but in what way?) ? Hope to made it clear now, thanks to your help!
P.S. Still looking the forum for a guide on using the imagetool....please be patient :wink:
Well you can restore it directly from your pc. just follow the steps in the thread. for source instead of selecting something in the combo box. click the 3 dots at the side then use your phone as destination. i hope that helps you out.
Sure thing!
Just one more question: what happen after I have finished upload the .bf1 file to my device with imagetools? It's a kind of autostart procedure or do I have to make some move? Thanks again, bye from Italy
nowoxi
I'm back and about to try to load the XDA ROM based on your instructions. However, question: do I have to removed the existing ROM from my device or will the XDA ROM simply overwrite it?
Hope you're around this Sunday evening/Monday morning!
Cheers
The rom will be overwritten.

Good news
I would to try it out. Can you upload your android package here?
yes, nike users can use the package for the vogue. the problem for me was that nike could not wake up after sleeping because we have different key mapping than vogue or kaiser. how is ur battery life?
im on school right now.
when im home, ill upload a complete rip of my SD card.
what i've done is the following:
i downloaded the pack for the HTC kaiser/vogue etc.
then i used the default.txt from a android made for the htc niki.
the only thing i changed in there was change "Zimage" to "Zimage-monsha"
then i could just install the andoid on my sd card and run it.
i don't know about the battery life yet, i didn't test it very well yet.
it's pretty laggy though so it will need some very good improvements.
Did your data work? I also got eclaire runniung on nike on ext2 partition using the methods from the vogue forums, but I noticed some issues:
- No data
- Slow
- I Tried to patch the new 3d driver stuff into the kernel. Afterwards i had accellerated graphics without textures (live wallpapers). But i have the same issue on some combinations of older builds, kernels and rootfs.
I also tried other builds from ext2 (all without rootfs, no working data on any of them , but it seems like the old versions with rootfs work better (-> data works)
i did not test it anymore.
i was at school.
rightnow im at home, so ill make a rip of my sd card, this is not formatted in ext2 or something.
i just deleted all the data on the sd card, and i just installed it.
it will take a while to upload, cause its pretty big.
right now im going to upload the .rar file.
it is 115 MB big, so make sure your sd-card is bigger than 512 MB

i tryed with sleepmode on 0, and it just worken, also on 1 it just worked.
i do not know how to see if full sleep is working, but it could be also working on the HTC Touch-Dual *NIKI*
set pm.sleep_mode=4. Data don´t work. Data don´t work on Nike with more new Android OS like donuts(1.6) or eclair(2.1) only in olders like android 1.5. Nike handsets lacks of android developers. We have no luck like Polaris/Vogue/Kaiser/Diamond users
i know, but i edited the default.txt a lil, by changing the resolution, i had less lagg, but it does not show the whole screen :S
even when im using the resolution of the screen :X
if u set the sleepmode to 0, can u wake the device? i never been able to. could u post just your default.txt here? anyway, data is working for me.
Running
I tried this, i'ts running, here's my report:
1. I cannot make a call (incoming or outcome).
2. I cannot send the SMS
but the operators carries found..

yes it awakes then.
and i did not test it with sim yet, the first thing i wanted to do is a good fast stable android build.
i found one, only one problem:
you cannot install it on your niki, i have to take the data.img and system.img from a HTC Kaiser(which uses my dad)
i already got a rip, right now im going to test if that works.
then i will delete all settings in there, and upload it here, one thing; it is REALLY fast!!

Any Ideas ?

Data don´t work on Nike with the more newest android builts. We lack developers
I noticed that data works on eclair and donut, but the connection drops after a (very) short time. Sometimes I was able to load one or two webpages after a fresh boot until the connection went down (20Key Nike, O2 Germany). I also got google sync once working for a few seconds (enough to fetch mail).
So it seems to be more a stability issue than a general lack of data connection.
Does anyone have developent experience with android? I am now compiling the eclair build with the latest libraries from the vogue andoid git tree, but if someone already knows were the data problem is or what it could be i could find a faster solution, any in the development would be great.

It´s true. It is like get freezed. If you go to modem and you want to disconnect it say disconnected but you can see still the icon and sometimes the up arrow. After this if you want to turn off the hanset you can´t and its needed a soft reset. So after get connect and with a luck to browse two webpages it get freezed
Hello ,just joined as i thought this was a cracking site with loads of info and the best place to find help .I have just bought a hd2 as i wanted the latest windows based mobile with a very large screen as i often use memory map and tom tom together ,i have been using both on the XDA ii with out any problems but the trouble was it had a seperate gps reciever ,also the camera was'nt very good .
Couple of questions i need help with please
I have installed memory map and it seems to run fine but is there a way of rotataing the screen on the hd2 from potrait to landscape ?
I have TomTom 7 Version 7.915 PPC ,will this work on the hd2 and is it as easy to install as it was on the XDAii i had ?
I am not very technicaly minded with these things so a very simple guide is what i am looking for .
I have used the search function but not with any success
Thanks in advance
Anyone help please?
You have to be careful which version of TomTom you install.
Here is the 7.917 version which will work with your HD2 - * TomTom v7.917 *
obviously you still need to buy the maps - as this site does not allow warez.
Sorry, I've no idea about Memory Map.

Plenty of ways of doing that: -
BSB Tweaks - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305
Gyrator - http://gyrator.brins0.net/
and probably some others I've forgotten
Try the search function on the forum. "rotation" and "search thread titles" turned up these results - http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=41837256
PS - Speaking from my own experience, I can confirm rotation of Memory map works using BSB Tweaks.
Brilliant guys, just what i was looking for
I have just installed tomtom and it works fine
Just off to have a look about rotating memory map
Many thanks and no doubt i will be back for more help
Can i install the bsb tweaks straight to my phone and everything will carry on working or will i need to reinstall memory map and tomtom after ?
Install BSB & carry on. No need to reinstall Memory Map, etc.
Trying to install bsb tweaks as you have mentioned ,i am trying to follow the video about flashing a custom rom mentioned on another thread , but when i attempt to run the custom ruu ( i downloaded it from this site seperate as one did'nt come with the BsB tweakes ) it keeps telling me" cant install check update utility "
This is what is on my screen
PB8110 XH-BC
SPL-1.66 HSPL XE

CotulllaHSPL 0x30
I have noticed that the spl is different on the video ,will that make a difference and how do i change it ?

spl doesnt matter so long as it ends '.hspl'
The error you got sounds like you havent put the roms.nbh file in the same folder with customruu.exe.
Just those two files in a folder on their own.
BUT you do know bsbtweaks isnt a rom, right? its a program that you install like any other, nothing to do with customruu.

No did'nt know that ,how do i install the bsbtweakes program ?
Told you i was no good at these things
like all programs. Copy the .cab file to your phone, anywhere (most people have a folder on their sd card for such purposes) then on the phone open up file manager, browse to where the file is, and click it to run it.
Thanks very much
I have installed all these to the sd card
Setup.xml
000bsbtw.001
00tweaks.000
0cab4a7.004
manila 1.002
openne 1.003
When i run the setup file it takes me to opera .nut nothing happens
If i try to open anything else i get the message ,"there is no application associated ,run the application first .
Dont know what i am doing wrong ,someone please help ?
nope, you have extracted the cab. (The pc thinks cab files are a type of zip file)
Dont do that. Copy the single cab file (bsbtweaks.cab or whatever it is called) to the phone and click it to run.
Cheers for the help yet again ,i have installed it and it seemed to install correctly ,yet when i ran the application it said it needs a newer version of microsoft for it to work ,any idea what i need now ?
Thanks again for your help
sorry, never seen that before. does it work? if it does ignore the warning.
Just figured it out ,there is another file that i needed to upload and it is just the bsbtweake cab file ,many many thanks for your help again

heres teh microsoft download page for it
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en

Your search keywords are ".net framework 3.5"

I'm not a pro on android or anything but if you want to confirm the radio that you have installed on windows go to the settings tab > about phone > software information
Hi dude...good choice to put Android on your HD2...it runs AWESOME.
I was a die hard HD2 windows fan, but ever since i installed android....WOW...awesome.
1: Download this bare-bones windows ROM, with auto load android on it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774417
1:Task29 your device
2: Hspl
3: flash radio...most radio roms work, but check first....2.12.50+ etc is good...is what i use.
4: Format SD card
5ownload an Android build from the android part of the forum.
6: When download complete, right click on the complete download and select extract files.
You need to extract the files to whatever your sd card is called...for example 'E:'
6b: When you open your SD card after extraction, there should only be a folder called 'Android' on root of your card.
7: when they have been extracted to your sd card...restart phone, and you will get a lush bootscreen asking you 2 AWESOME things, with 2 possible answers ;-)
Boot android?
Boot windows mobile?
8: Just tap on the one you would like to boot.
9: On first boot, it can take anything up to 3- mins to first boot Android etc...but mostly takes 5-10 mins......LEAVE your device on until it finishes.
It may seem like it's doing nothing, as you may very well get a blank screen etc...but trust me...it's working.
trust me, you wont ever go back to windows mobile..hehe

Ok manageed to get Abdroid working, restarted the device back into normal winmo, loaded the bootloader and now it just shows green screen ???
Basically, just pull out yuh battery, make sure your sd card is in, with only one folder (which contains android build) called 'Android'
When you restart, that ozroid windows mobile rom i directed you too, will auto pop up asking if you want to boot android or win mo.
if 'win mobile' is bright and selectable, but the 'android' option is a dark unselectable colour (if u can not boot android or it says android not available or not present etc) then format sd card, make sure nothing is on it....
....then extract Android folder to SD card....then when u restart phone, if you used that ozroid win mobile rom, it will pop up within 10 seconds asking which operating system u wanna boot.
select android, then wait, it might take 10 mins, possibly even 30mins for first boot, but be patient.
if u have no luck, reply here or PM me...and i'll whack up a video tutorial for you in morning m8...no probs.

try this dude.....

Cheers all, got it working now, thanks for all the help, can close the thread
Hi allll...
ps : form the start to say i am not on drugs!! just come on!!!
all this info and all this reading and i am a IT guy and still don't get it at all!!
It is strange here we have 100 000 geeks,freaks and ...geek ,but no one knows how to explain in a cohesive way some presume u know it all ond the rest presume you should Google it..., why not make THE BEST EXPLAINED Thread from beggining to end whithout loosing sight what do we want to explain...
1) i am a newbie , which is why most of new people join the forum to find answers .
2) i want to switch my HD2 HTC from windows to android....
3) i have found 3000 you tube videos with retard that know only to click here and click there.. that is all fine if all goes well but if it doe sent(in my case it didn't)
i need to understand what all is happening under the hood to know what to fix...
s0... my questions are..simple and i hope someone ...can give all the answers and i will post it on my web page with pics to be one in all a good guide...
where to start...........
you need to have radio, wtf? you need to have "custom recovery installed"?
flash it from windows?(how do i flash it from windows if it is not going in to windows any more!!) ; NBH filess!!???CustomRUU (good for Radio and Splash) ?? what are you talking about!!!
i don't want to look any more for these terms... i want some who is a helpful person with sufficient knowledge and is a reasonable person to understand how frustrating this all is to a newbie to explain firs simple and then more details is it possible?
Android Flashing Guide ??
so explain like : when you get you phone it has windows in it's ROM and you have an SD card holding whatever...
and it is booting (starting the OS) from the ROM (it is usually this and this file)
for you to flash it you need to copy a file (is it leoimg.nbh ?) no idea...
to the ROM using a utility...
when you put that.... bla bla.... come on people!!!
What is radio what does it do? what is nbh file? where do i put and how ROM of my choice choice.
in my case i did the following :
Prerequisites
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL done ok....
* DFT MAGLDR Bootloader (DFT_LEO_MAGLDR111.rar ok so what it reboots and white screen?)
after that i did ..
* Radio that support 576 RAM i have some radio but i don't get it what is radio what are the differences of the version and wtf ram? (is it dependent on the SN , Model no or what) will t install even if it is not compatible with my hd2?
i did (Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14.rar)
so now i can get the boot loader menu but if you go to menu no 4 (usb)
DFT_Android (DAF.exe) does not recognize the usb so... am i stuck?
i notices in DFT_Android there are 2 files (system.img 255mb and boot.img ) i guess daf.exe does something with theem boot is copied to the boot partition? system image is copied to the ROM? can i somehow do that direly from the sd card?
what can i do now?
the only access i am getting is i guess provided to me by installing (HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL) that boot menu...
similarity and difference between
MAGLDR 111 is done very quikly (1sec) (both have a nbh file (ver. 111 is .5mb)
and
Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14.rar (nbh is 25 mb)
what is the... i don't get it..nothing
You will never flash android to wm and otherwise if you not kernel developer of HTC (as ex.).
Everything what you find and what you seen on youtube is Android runned from windows kernel, from SD card probably.
Natively is never happends.
Same **** you can find abou HD2 running WP7 instead wm6.5. Its also emulation!
To the OP. Have you looked in the HD2 specific forum? I'm sure you'll find all you need to know in there.
I know it's difficult trying to pice together all the disparate information that's out there but the best way to learn is to research, and then research some more

Absolute rubbish. Please refrain from posting if you don't know what you're talking about. Both Android and WP7 can replace WM6.5 on the phone, and ARE NOT emulated. Even with Android running from the SD card it IS NOT emulated!!!

^^This!!!
The best way to learn is.... to learn! If you're spoon-fed all the answers then you'll just never stop asking. Just take your time reading, and don't rush into flashing anything until you're comfortable with what you're doing.
Well thanks to all (especial not heineken78 i hope you are not 33yrs and screwing people around here ) it is done but my questiions stand... i did it but like most people i dont quite get exactly.. what the hell did i do..
i did a lot of research come on guys i do you exepct me to write such a big thread whithout trying my best to figure it out myself?
im not trying to get spoon feb but come on...
all the instructions are like do this and that.. or radio is for buttons and .... but come on... i relay started this thread to point out that there is not one goood all in one explanation that will explain all aspects... and for any one to gather all this info and put everythin in cronolgical order that makes sense.. he would allready have to know a lot (or have some expirience with this) so i think it is imposible for a newbie to grasp all this from just looking at threads...so many of them and every thread going in some other direction
in any case thanke you all.
