I've had many WM phones in recent years. The HD2 is good in every respect except it still runs WM6.5. Its time to look at Andriod where (alegedly) everything works as it should.
Problem is I am a tech numpty compared to most on here.
So I'm after some advice:
I need a reliable phone, with sat nav, which can manage my diary, pick up push mail from my work MS Exchange account, and take photos etc. WM 6.5 with CoPilot does all of these things unreliably.
So I want to laod an Android ROM and Google Nav Beta
So far I've downloaded HSPL3 and loaded it successfully onto my phone, I have a Sprite Backup of the WM6.5 instance running today, and I have a standard Voda Leo WM 6.5 ROM.
So booting my device since loading HSPL3 makes no difference, and if I press and hold the vol down button to get to the bootstrapper I get the stripy screen whihc niow shows SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
What I do not undertsand is how I point this to the ROM I want to load - can someone give me some simple acroymn free instructions on this?
I presume the ROM's need to be on my storage card. Can they go in any directory or must they be in the root?
I have not yet downloaded an Android ROM and I would like to gety one which is more corporate themed than scifi if you know what I mean... I've been running CoOkies home tab which makes usability better as its a bit more Iphone like as an indication of what I like. Any Recommendations please??
Android does not require bootloaded (stripes screen) , it boots from windows mobile itself , meanwhile Android cannot be booted from the Nand ( phone internal memory) , you have to copy the " Android " folder to your sd card and run clrcad.exe then haret.exe from within Windows Mobile file explorer. hope that is what you mean, if not reply back
And for the Android build, there is a thread which lists you the most fancy and stable builds so u can choose from hope this helped
Some people can't boot Android from 16 GB cards. Just in case you have one.
OK, Thanks for your replies.
One final question before I bite the bullet - I'm really nervous about "Bricking" my HD2. If I load Android and hate it, how do I reload the original WM6.5 ROM?

By installing/using Android you don't remove/over wright Windows Mobile.
Android runs from your SD card not internal memory
This means concretely you don't need to worry you.
PS, I don't know if it is mention before but you need minimum radio version 2.08 but preferable is using radio 2.12.50 ore even the latest one 2.15.50 !

and to add to what kurt said, to get back from android simply turn your phone off and on (assuming you don't have a dual boot program that will push you into android) and you will be back to windows mobile. tis easy.
Hmm, So I need to keep the 1.5Gb Android folder on my SD card permanently??
I havenot been able to get it to boot anyway.
If I run the haret.exe, I get a botting from Linux progress bar then a blank screen with an inital few lines of very small text which fade after about 15 secs, the screen goes blank and nothing happens. What can I be doing wrong??
Ive tried with haret.exe and all the files from the Android forlder are in the root of the SD card and with teh Android folder in the root. Neither works.
Help!
Hi I had the same problem; after updating my HD2 with the new official ROM I got the new radio (with .50) and now I have Darkstone 3.2 Froyo running on my HD2 My HD2 thinks he is a Desire HD now hehehe; I'm writing you this running Android.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
after updating my HD2 with the new official ROM I got the new radio (with .50) and now I have Darkstone 3.2 Froyo running on my HD2 "
Sorry Murat you may as well have written that in Dutch for all I understood.
Bottom line is I cannot get Android to boot. I see the Linux bootstrapper text then just a blank screen.
Also are all Andoriod roms IRO 1.5Gb???
Any ideas?
Also is there a simple way to make the phone boot natively into Android - i.e. no need for WM at all?
you need to wait at least 20 mins for the first boot, screen might be blank but its creating your data.img file.. .
start fresh and give it time....
and no, you need winmo......
Want to load Android but
I have been doing some research on loading my HTC HD2 with Andriod. The information I have found says my SPL should be:
SPL 1.42.0000
SPL 1.62.0000
SPL 1.66.0000
SPL 2.07.0000
SPL 2.08.0000
SPL 2.10.0000
My SPL is 3.03.0000 XE.
I note the documentation on the software I down loaded was Jun 10, so was kinda wondering if it is out of date. Could someone point me to some later version software?
Thanks

To have android you must have SPL 2.08 HSPL.
For SD Android, you need to boot into winmo.
To have NAND Android, you need MAGLDR 1.11 above (latest is v.1.13)
You have firstly to downgrade your SPL.

Goodluck
Please excuse my lack of experience on the matter.
But my main confusion comes from after a couple hours well of reading and yet still not quiet understanding.
I'm buying a HD2, but I'm interested in converting it over to the Android platform.
However after watching countless videos and reading endless posts - I think I've scared myself into a not knowing where to start now.
I initially came across some pretty cool links wish sounded helpful (and for the most seemed pretty straight forward)
<Examples>
youtube.com/watch?v=3gUwaJYWrdc
youtube.com/watch?v=Gqedm-sUBc8
youtube.com/watch?v=W6Thh-zHGgo
But then confusion after reading of things like finding out the best radio software suited to my region (which by the way is Trinidad), and HSPL3 and the ROM... I am wondering if I might just end up bricking my phone.
So I found out what the stuff means (as seen below) - but I'm still kinda well overwhelmed.
spl = Secondary Program Loader. Think of this in the same sense as bios on a pc. (it sets where your system boots from, intialises sub system process etc)
sspl = soft spl (this allows you to flash another spl or hardspl).
hardspl = hard spl .. basically it allows flashing of any rom. It protects you from bricking your device. If you have a bad flash it just forces the phone to load into bootloader, from where you can flash another rom using pc or storage card to get your phone working again. Using a hardspl you can flash any carrier rom without cid unlocking your device first.
radio is the part of the rom which manages the attena
Please if anyone is able to shed some light on the best way of me going about brining in the android OS to my HD2 - it would be greatly appreciated (given what ever the lastest most stable build would be)
Regards...
Also, whats the possibility of a dual boot straight from the phone?
people have reported that android works on stock roms so there might not be any need to flash a custom rom....... apparently a radio newer than 2.08.xx..... is required......
See this thread for that debate.....
Even if there is then all you need to do is follow the instructions in the Rom development section stickies and you cant really go wrong......
If you have a tmous hd2 then you might want to follow the instructions in the tmous section to avoid any potential radio mismatch problems......
Running android is as easy as putting a folder on your SD card and tapping two files in the right order........
Ok there might be quite a bit of trial and error in finding a build you like/works well....
And yes there are programs out there that will give you the option to choose between WM and Android on startup.....
personally I'd reccomend mskips version which you can find in the themes and apps section.........
Happy fiddling......
Thank you so much for the post and for the link you included to the guide.
I have seen a lot of useful information from just there alone. It's appreciated.
One thing I didn't quite follow however, was when you said 'tmous' hd2.
I'm assuming this is an abbreviation for a carrier of some sort?
The one I'm supposed to be getting is an unlocked version btw...
tmous = (T)-(Mo)bile (US) version as it has the 1GB ROM in it; the Euro version only has 512MB.

As br0adband said above, tmous just refers to the american version of the HD2,
its easy to spot as it has a big fat double chin, tmobile written under the earpiece and green/red buttons to dial/hangup.......
if thats the version that you end up with then you should make sure any rom/radio your flashing is "tmous compatible".......
the wrong radio can kill it....... just stay away from anything with ".51." in the name.....
Good luck for when it arrives...... expect a lot of late nights tweaking.......
if you are sure you'll use android, why do you buy a windows phone?
i think thats nonsense...
just buy a desire hd and be happy.

+1...That makes no sense. Unlike the rest of us, we bought the HD2 knowing what it was all about, then later found that Android would be possible later.
Buying HD2 a year later knowing that you want to convert to Android is silly. Or it is because the HD2 might be cheaper than the newer HTC Anroid phones?
You have missed most of the fun there was in seeing the HD2 develope; from custom ROMs, to Cookies Home Tab, to Android etc etc. Jumping in now after all the blood, sweat and (tears) has taken place probably wouldnt provide you with the same level as enjoyment as I believe that the HD2 is running out of steam. Although there is the possibilty of WPS7 on NAND plus Android to consider.
The main reason for opting for the HD2 is that the price is alot more reasonable for me at this time. The specs are obviously better on the Desire HD and while the original Desire also already has the android platform, their prices are a little more steep for me as they came out just this year alone.
So during my searching around I came across this thread titled:
[GUIDE]The ULTIMATE n00bs guide to the HD2-HardSPL, Android, ROMs, Radios and more!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808015
It seemed really detailed and what not - However, it clearly stated that it was solely for the T-Mobile (US Version) and not Internationally Unlocked ones.
Is there a similar thread where this might be found?
I don't see why it should be specific to the tmous, the only thing to watch out for is the potential radio mismatch... .

Ok so within the this time which I am still just eagerly anticipating the arrival of my HD2 (which by the way is my first smart phone ) - I've continued to read more threads and posts, but some confusion still seems to exists on the various topics for terms for me.
For instance - I seem pretty clear on the fact that getting an android build on my HD2 is as simple as picking a ROM and then extracting the files correctly to my SD card and run the CLRCAD & the Haret files. - So then why I am still so confused...?
I think the main reason stems from a fear of not wanting to destroy my first modernized phone.
But aside from the basic process I briefly stated above, I have no idea what would be required of me to make the best of my modd-ing procedure.
I have seen links including a 1GB data.img dowloand - what is this for exactly?
I have read and understood that there are advantages of implementing HSPL on your device - but how does it fit into the already 'simplified' 4 step process listed above whereby you just download, extract and run the 2 files?
(...further to that whats the difference between HSPL, HSPL2 & HSPL3 - aside from updated versions I assume, would there be a reason for opting to use an older version?)
How do I determine if I am going to need to change my Radio version from what would already be included within a ROM I select? - and similar to my HSPL inquiry
(What's the main difference between the radio versions?
Wouldn't the highest number [most recent version] be the best?)
Further random (yet related...) questions:
RUU - Would it be necessary or make modd-ing any easier?
cotulla - Is this a single developer or a developer group?
NAND - Is this basically the main memory which holds the OS? - If so is there an actual way to now startup with Android on the HD2 - without WM starting at all and without any user interaction what so ever?
And finally...
When I eventually get my HD2 in hand, is there any information or details specific from my phone, which if provided could make it a easier to receive help on my goal?
If someone takes time to answer my questions - Thanks much in advance!

ok, where to start..... lol
il answer briefly because im posting from my device.....
your 4 step process is solid. no problems there.
you cannot brick your device with android.
the data.img is basically a file that pretends to be the phones internal storage, so if you download the 1gb file when you run android your phone will think it has 1gb of internal storage (things will obviously just be stored on your sd card, it doesn't actually affect your devices memory)
theres not much point worrying about the radio until you get the device and see which one you have, chances are it wont need to be changed.
unless your changing the rom/radio you wont need to use hspl
cotulla is widely regarded as being the driving force behind these kind of things, obviously there were/are lots of talented people involved but cotulla is probably the name your most likely to see being mentioned.
ruu - software tool that alows you to flash a rom.
included with stock roms, custom roms require a custom ruu but it is usually bundled in with the rom
nand - you pretty much nailed it, its not yet available though
when you get the device post the info from the settings - about phone/software info
hope that helps and sorry if I missed anything.....
Thanks a lot for your response!

After my long anticipated wait - It has arrived.
Here are my initial specs:
OS version
5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
Manilla version
2.5.20121412.2
ROM version
2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
ROM date
04/28/10
Radio version
2.10.50.26
Protocol version
15.39.50.07U
Any advice?
Your Radio is above the minimum requirement for linux to boot so you're good to go. Download an android build you like the looks of from the Android Development section and extract the Android folder and place it in the root of your SD card.
Run CLRCAD then HaRET or get an android boot loader like THIS, THIS, or THIS to make the process easier.
Okay so after using my HD2 a bit on and off over the past 3 days or so - switching between Windows & Android, I'll summarize:
First off, the android build which I am currently running off of my sd card is:
darkstone HD2Froyo v1
Release date: 26.07.2010
Its pretty decent and all but, I have a problem that I keep on encountering and I'm not quite sure whether its just me (something I didn't figure out) or if its an incompatibly issue with my current WindMo ROM (2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE) or something. Or maybe just a glitch / bug in the build itself
I can't seem to get back access to my desktop at times once I open a browser (or some other apps / games as well); even after I attempt to close it off.
...One just simply reopens once I close off the last one...
This inability to regain access to my desktop at that point means I have no further access to any further applications either unless I start over. (or unless its an app which was previously opened - as I can then hold down the home button to see recently (previously) opened apps.
I'm wondering if I should try another build? (any suggested ones?! / any known problems with this build)
Also as my version is an unlocked T-mobile phone - would it be wise to follow through with an upgrade on the ROM from T-mobile's site?
T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1)
http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobi....aspx?pid=leo2
EDIT:
I'm also the following message constantly and I'm thinking it might have something to do with the problem I'm getting.
This version of LauncherPro Beta has expired. Please go to http://www.launcherpro.com/ to get the latest version.
No suggestions...
I was simply copping some music across from my pc to HD2 with ActiveSync and I think I didn't d/c properly. Now my HD2 won't start up.
It just freezes on the Stick Together screen
(which contains the ROM, Radio info below)
I attempted to reset with the small red button, I tried pulling the battery completely. It still just comes back to that screen once I place the battery back in and FREEZES.
Attempted to go into bootloader by:
Taking out the battery. Placing it back in.
Press volume down, while pressed press the power button.
The colored screen comes up:
PBB1120 SS-B3
SPL-2.10.0000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50
Someone please HELP!
Hi all
I've had a search through the re-developed ROM's and to be perfectly open, I don't understand much about them.
I recently had a plain HTC HD2 and very happy with it for what I use it for, I don't need any fancy add on's and bits etc, just my Co-pilot and keeping my contacts and notes upto date.
That handset was lost and the insurance didn't have any HD2 replacements in stock. The Desire they sent instead has been sold, and I've purchased a T Mobile version of another HD2.
Is it a simple case of downloading and installing the official HTC ROM for the handset and doing a ROM update?
Apologies if this is a simple query etc!
Cheers, Dennis!
no, no no nonono.
assuming you mean a tmobile us model (1024 rom, green send key) then no, if you flash a non tmous stock rom (any stock rom that isn't for the tmous) onto that phone it will die. brick. dead, because of the ..51.. radio they include.
You may get some cooked roms that are on a base of lower than 2.x, but have been tweaked for the 576ram , and they will work on your phone, but its a very risky game to play.
Far better to follow the two rules..,
only ever flash tmous stock roms,
and
cooked roms that SPECIFICALLY say tmous compatible in the title and post 1 of that roms thread..
Hiya
Samsamuel, thanks for the info there. I'll update with more information! I'm technical, but not with smartphones to the level some of you guys here!
I'm in the UK, and it's a UK TMobile handset that I bought. I've already had the handset 'unlocked' so that I can use my O2 SIM, which is working etc.
From the handset
OS Version - 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Manila Version - 2.5.20121429.0
ROM version - 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
ROM date - 04/02/10
Radio Version - 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol version - 15.32.50.07U
So, would it be ok to update to the normal HTC ROM?
Cheers, Dennis!
Ah ok in that case there is no need to mention that it is a t mobile phone, just confuses the issue.
Yes the regular update will work fine once happy is applied.
Thanks once again SamSamuel,
However, what's meant by 'once happy is applied' ?
Is that one of these hacks or special ROM things?
When I do a search, so many results come back containing the word 'happy' I have no idea where or what to look for!
Is there a thread which explains how to apply 'happy'?
Apologies for the vagueness!!
Cheers, Dennis!
lol, thats the android spell correction and me not proof reading before i post. should be HSPL
Hiya
To me, anything that's typed up 'could' potentially be what I need to do! I wouldn't know the difference!!
So, I've had a search for HSPL - I see it mentioned, but alas, I have no clue what it is, where to get it from, what to do with it when I get it!
Is there any straightforward points on what and where to get this HSPL, how to use it ?
I know I can download the HTC official ROM from their website, so that part I think I know what to do as I upgraded my last HD2.
Cheers, Dennis!
ok, hspl. Get HSPL2_RUN.zip from HERE, (you can follow instructions that say hspl or hspl3, theyre all the same, except for what phones they support, , hspl2 is teh most usefull for regular hd2 owners)
phone into bootloader and connect usb, (when you read 'get an active sync connection', , forget that, it doesnt mean actual active sync, just a usb connection)
get hspl2, run it, in the dropdown is a list of spl and hspl versions. if it ends .0000 its stock, if it ends .hspl its,,,,,, hspl.
choose 2.08.hspl, follow the prompts. if it doesnt work, run the hspl prog again, if it still doesnt work (timeout/connection errors) change usb ports and try again. no need to touch teh phone, just leave it in bootloader all the time.
once bootloader says spl 2.08.hspl you are good to go.
BUT
if you are planning to flash the 3.14 rom, , , you can't do it this way.
3.14 wont work on any spl/hspl except 3.03.0000 and there is no way to get 3.03.0000 except goldcard.
Hiya
Samsamuel - seems you're the only one willing to help me here! so I really appreciate it !
I know i've got to do 'things' from what you've said there, but I have no idea on how to do it! - give me some financial IT related stuff I'm good! ask me to do bootloaders and potential goldcard and run files and connect - I'm lost! I don't want to try things in case I 'brick' the handset!
The ROM I want is listed on the HTC downloads section for the HD2. It's dated 25th January 2010
Details are
ROM Version:
Norway:1.66.409.1, Spain :1.66.412.1, Denmark:1.66.403.1, France :1.66.406.1,
Sweden:1.66.413.2, Italy:1.66.408.1, WWE:1.66.405.2, France Bouygues: 1.66.483.0
So, if I somehow manage to do this HSPL thing, will I not be able to install the HTC ROM? I have no idea where or what the '3.14' ROM is?
Apologies for sounding really vague - I've never got into all the modified ROM's and stuff for smartphones. I've only ever needed to switch on, use the phone, install my GPS software and keep my contacts and notes syncronised. I'm just used to the HD2 I had as it was a case of straightforward use. This T mobile version is 'different'!
Anyone else able to help alongside everything SamSamuel has kindly provided so far? please?!!
Cheers, Dennis!
warning
Its best for you if you do not try to update your phone. Either get used to it or just sell it. There are rom update tutorials on this site. Just search for rom update tutorial, if you must try. The official htc software is not for this phone, if you install it, your phone will no longer work, and you wont be able to fix it.
No, its ok so long as you have a regular hd2 locked to t mobile as discussed in earlier posts.
Just to double confirm, if your phone has green send key,then STOP DANGER
But I think we're dealing with white send key, so normal hd2, and the target Tom isn't 3.14
So,,,
assuming white end key.
Phone backed up and off
Press hold keep holding volume down
Tap and release power keep holding volume down
When striped coloured screen appears
Plug in USB
On PC run hspl2
In dropdown choose 2.08.hspl
When it completes and phone starts to reboot immediately hold volume down again to return to stripey screen (bootloader)
When says USB at the bottom and split at top says 2.08.hspl run the .exe you downloaded from HTC
If you get connection errors, timeouts, leave the phone and just swap USB ports. When running hspl.exe right click it and "run as administrator"
(That's the last time I'm gonna write those out in full, there must be 500 identical step by steps and half as many YouTube vids. )
If your send key is green DO NOT DO THIS
Hi all you enthusiastic wizards!
I wonder if there is still a anyone out there with a passion for Hermes 100 / I-mate JasJam ...
I have been following all sorts of threads in an attempt to give my JasJam a new life. Have tried to flash your Hard-SPL-V7, SSPL-Herm, RUU_HER_6.20.100.0_0.00.00.00_XDA_WWE_XBOW_Custom etc. Unfortunately no success at all ... at least, I suppose I can call myself lucky to not have bricked mine in the process.
Can anyone possibly direct me to an "up-to-date" thread which gives me clear step-by-step instructions on how to up-date my gadget and give it a "new life"? I am technically minded, but I am certainly not an expert when it comes to these matters.
The details are:
Herm 100/JasJam
Windows Mobile v 5.0 - OS 5.1.195
ROM verion: 1.31.30 5.2
ROM date: 09/08/06
Radio version: 1.21.31.10
Protocol version: 32.53.7020.01H
Ext ROM version: 1.31.305.104
Thank you so much for your help!!!
Herm100
I myself am trying to do something to this phone. This is my first time flashing a phone and im not too worried about bricking it since its an old phone.. I think i got the Hardspl up but i cant seem to get past the tri-colored screen.. i would like to work together with you if u want
Hi pyramidseeker,
I found out that my problem was that the USB disconnected everytime I attempted to flash any Hard-SPL and therefore always got stuck on the tri-color screen. Is that what happens to you? If so, here is what worked for me:
I found and flashed the Hard-SPL-V9 (in this forum). For some reason it works and does not disconnect in the process.
Once I have done that, I was able to flush Pays_WWE_305_Final_Full, and I assume, you can flush any other RUU you like.
Hope this helps you - it helped me ...

Hi,
I am working on getting my HD2 ready for WP7 + Android dual boot. I read that in order to make sure the Darkstone RAM SD build works properly with WP7 you need an already configured version of it. The current version I have is broken so i'm trying to get back to windows 6.5 so I can configure a new Darkstone build and upgrade everything back to WP7 + Android again.
Anyways, I'm stuck at the downgrading. I've downloaded both originals roms from the forum here and from htc.com and tried to run the from the bootloader (not the magldr but the red/green/blue thingie)
I keep getting the error about incorrect ROM versions. I tried to downgrade my radio to 15.26.50 but doing so resulted in the same error. My current radio version is 2.15.50.14
The HTC ROM i downloaded is named: RUU_Leo_S_Vodafone_NL_3.14.172.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship so my guess is that should work fine with my current Radio version.
Now i did read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14182187&postcount=3 and it sounds like a very possible solution but I can't quite figure out what i should do on the phone. The bootloader doesn't give any instructions, but perhaps he meant magicldr?
I'm quite lost here and I think i would have already bricked my phone twices if the HSPL3 didn't had a good check (From what i've read on the forum)
Did you really follow all the steps from the link you posted?
Especially if you get the "wrong ROM" message, did you use your serial in order to find out which ROM is the correct one for you?
Another question: What SD card do you use? If it´s bigger than 2GB, it tends to make problems. Try a smaller one.
I've managed to follow the steps after all using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317 (Was searching in magldr at first). At one moment the screen turned black for a quick second with a warning sign and started over again? Now it seems to be finished. Guess stupid me made a post too fast after all.
I was using a 4GB class 2 SD and i figured the HTC rom is based on my serial because i had to insert it before downloading.
Windows mobile 6.5 seems to be running smooth now so I can continue with my evil dual boot!
