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

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!
Apologies for the new thread.
I bought a HD2 off ebay a few months ago and have a had numerious problems using it as a phone, goes from 4 bars to none every couple of mins cuts off mid call, basically doesnt work inside the house. I called HTC support & they took the serial number then told me it was a "demo" phone and unsupported, I went to the website to see if I could download a ROM update but my serial number was not accepted trying to download any of the roms.
It was running 1.66.405.2 ROM
So, using a serial number off here I downloaded the 3 roms off the HTC website and tried to install them everytime getting the "Invalid Vendor ID" error. I then installed HSPL3 then tried to install one of the 3.14 ROMS using the SD card route, it got to about 2% then rebooted with the error "Software update failed, please try again" and when i go to Bootloader it shows "SPL-3.03.0000"
Anyting I can try to get this back up? even if its just to give to the kids for playing music / videos!
Is it worth going down the goldcard route?
Regards
Paul
its just possible that you may be stuck, with goldcard the only option.
You made two mistakes.
firstly, using hspl to run a 3.14 rom leads to instability and memory problems. You cant do it that way with 3.14.
secondly, flashing the 3.14 rom from sd card was a double bad move, because 1 - its not for your device, and 2 - the fact that hspl is there lets it skip the warning initially and update the spl to 3.03.0000, which wouldn't have happened if hspl wasn't there.
You now need to find the correct stock rom for your device to downgrade spl 3.03.0000. Normally i would say find a 1.42 or 1.66 rom, (for the correct carrier if rom locked, or for HTC if not)
You didnt say which 3.14 rom you used (noob omission, lose a point ) se we cant yet rule an area out. for example, if it was the wwe htc 3.14, then we know the phone is branded (pretty likely if its a demo)
ALternative to trying every 1.66 rom you can find, is goldcard. That will allow the 3.14 rom of your choice (or indeed any stock rom) to flash no problems, hspl not required.
Yeah you learn by your mistakes!
Think I eventually got sick of the thing cutting off it was about as much use as a brick as it was! & HTC support were about as much help as hammer! Told me it was an old model & I should consider upgrading!
I've tried 1.43, 1.48, 1.66 all off the HTC website, went through all the other carriers as well entering my serial number in with no luck. The ROM i used was
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship this is what was on it before I ran the update.
Os Version - 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.81)
Manila Version - 2.5.19211619.0
ROM V - 1.66.405.2
Rom Date - 1.11.10
Radio Version - 2.07.51.22.2
Is there anyway to find out who the carrier would be from the serial no?
only by trying to download every rom for every carrier for every region, and theyre not all on teh website,,,,
goldcard would be your best bet.
Is there any way to create a goldcard when you can only get access to the bootloader on the HD2?
The steps outilined in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642486
3:Get the SD card's Serial number & Make the Gold Card
--a: Unplug your HD from the PC and Plug it back in select ACTIVESYNC on your LEO
--b: Run PSAS, Calculators/Generators > Generate HTC GoldCard >
--c: Select LEO from the Drop-down box
--dress "Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device"
--eSAS should see all the drives on your HTC Leo/HD2. Make certain the correct size disk is sellected. For example, I inserted a 512MB SD card so - Beneath the (CID) box you should see something like " Disk Nr.: 04 - Disksize 512 MB"
--f: Now that the correct disk is selected, press "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD"
--e: you should see "Done writing SD Card to WINCE Device.
I get the error message "could not open connection, device connected?"
When I turn on the phone all I get is the bootloader menu page!
Resolved
Ok its now sorted,
I bought PSAS and made a goldcard using my old HTC touch. I then installed the 1.66 rom before updating to 3.14
I still have the same phone reception problem, would it be worth trying a different radio to see if that would fix the reception problems?
Thanks for all the help and advice.
Paul
you can't change the radio when running 3.x, because there is no hspl to allow it, sspl can't flash radios and goldcard is for stock roms.
So I'd need to goldcard it back to 1.66 or such then try a few radio roms to see if it will fix the reception problems? Whats the chances a new radio would resolve it?
Hi
I've just tried to flash my phone to run Android but I think I've made a bit of a bodge of it.
I got it to SPL-1.66.0000 then it was showing that it was running that HSPL on the Bootloader now it's just showing SPL-1.66.0000.
I cannot start the phone I get a purple circle that's it like I always did just before starting the phone and it usually goes past that and into Windows.
I can get into Bootloader but I've no idea what to flash, what to flash it to and how to do it.
If there is anymore information you want to know then please do ask It'd be very greatful if someone can lend us a hand getting this running.
Thanks
I've now actually read the instructions and found out that it wipes the phone, however I've got Magldr installed but I cannot open it I'm running SPL-2.08.HSPL
However, again I get the Purple Circle, I've tried pressing the "Phone" button to get into Magldr as I was told, I've found another one which told me to press both UP/DOWN Volume which sent me to another Recovery place.
Any help would be great.
What exactly is your target?
What ROM was originally on your device (branded or non-branded)?
I bought the HTC HD2 today - It WAS locked to T-Mobile now unlocked, however unlike other T-Mobile HD2's I've seen it hasn't got branding on the top BUT did have Branding on the boot up.
So
Non-Branded Casing
Branded Software
My Target
To run Android 2.3
I think a good start for you is here: Klick!
You will have to decide if you want to run Android from SD card or NAND.
Running Android from SD card means you don´t have to delete the Windows Mobile ROM, many people like the "dual boot" option. In this case, you should read the instructions of the ROM chef how to install.
In short, if you want to install Android in NAND memory, you must do this:
1) Install HSPL (if not already done)
2) Install Radio ROM 2.15.50.04
3) Install MAGLDR 1.3
4) Install your Android ROM
If you follow the link, you´ll find more links to step-by-step instructions.

I would be ever so grateful if somebody could 1 tell me if it possible to go back to original phone, and 2, how I can go about doing that as i seem to be coming up against walls with what I try, as I said i'm not the best with software.

yes, it's possible... i've deone it about a month ago... i simply put HD2 on tri-colour screen and connected to pc... after it said USB instead of SERIAL i launched the last stock RUU.exe (downloaded from htc site) from pc and the RUU flashed stock WM 6.5 on HD2... everything worked like a charm

Despite my best (inexperienced) efforts to get my original windows phone back, I have failed.
A while back I stumbled through converting my phone to Android from Windows 6.5, this is the exact details on my phone currently...
Android Version 2.3.2
Baseband 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Kernel Version [email protected]#26
Build Number Gingerbread HD2 v2.1
I would be ever so grateful if somebody could 1 tell me if it possible to go back to original phone, and 2, how I can go about doing that as i seem to be coming up against walls with what I try, as I said i'm not the best with software.
Many thanks to anyone with the time to advise me.

We'll sometimes it's a combination of bad luck, what you can do is to check the battery points in the phone, sometimes they are bend so they don't make a connection, then I suggegst to power your phone to the battery charger and hold down the volume button that should bring you into bootloader, you can also do this with a sd-card with the original rom on it, then it's not necesarry to charge your phone for 50%, you have to rename the RUU_signed.nbh file into leoimg.nbh and copy that file to your sd-card, then it will ask you directly to update the phone.
Succes
Back to stock

Well i did exactly that, Not only that, tied installing using the RUU which has been downloaded from HTC site...
using the RUU it give me the error ERROR [262] which is
ERROR [262, 276, 284, 302] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
While installing from SD card
On the RED GREEN BLUE Screen is
PB8110 HK-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(Touch) 0x30
Upgrade ROM code error Please Try again
then when it goes to the white screen says Loading...
and it stays like that... anybody has any suggestion for me or did i just brick my phone while trying to get it back to Stock ROM
Try another rom, probably the rom is corrupt.
Succes,
Downloading 9 different ROMS at last found the right one which did flash properly. Thanks for the help.
You must remember when flash via SD you loose the HSPL as first stage of SD flash installs standard spl so loose the CID bypass you had with the HSPL.
Always best try & flash from PC as you have CID bypass & retaining the HSPL is safer & any generic HTC ROM can be used (TMOUS>usa t-mobile should use original WM rom - see htc wiki)
