Hey guys I have just come from a HTC imagio which is a windows mobile device with no option of having android, Although recently I bought a HTC HD2 which does have the option to put android on it.
Now my question to you is WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE between Nand and SD card rooting? ( I think that's the right terminology).
And are there relitivly simple ways of roming android onto my device other than rooting like with the imagio all I had to do was Hardspl then rom?
Just some info about what i'm getting my head into would be nice.
If this breaks any forum rules just delete it Mr Moderator.

Ok guys so ive just bought a uk orange branded hero, and i dont have a clue about android or linux for that matter, so i hope you guys could answer a few questions for me, ive looked at the stickys in the android development section, and now im more confused than before lol
1) What is rooting? and what is the process ment to achieve?
2) like i said i have a uk orange branded hero, now what is the process i need to do before i can start flashing roms? it seems a little more complicated that just flashing hspl like am used to lol
root is the system administrator of a unix system. you might wanna google that if you don't know what it is.
depending on your fastboot version you need to flash the custom recovery image, from there on it is a piece of cake. if you don't need to downgrade your system then flashing the custom recovery is also a piece of cake.

My intention is to give balanced advice to all those who intend to modify their new Android.
Ask yourselves, what do you intend to do with root access, if you want your phone to do all simple tasks, no need to root. I would say get familiar with new OS before deciding "Root Way."

Rooting is the process of gaining full system access to your device. This has pros and cons (you can modify anything and really tweak the guts of your system...but you can also truely fubar the whole thing a lot easier too). If you don't have a need to root, I generally advise against it.
Flashing custom ROMs are an unsupported method of customization...but it, like rooting, has some potential gains. Some ROMS give more speed, some ROMs include more features that you may or may not want. Flashing ROMs are the reasons most people root (as to flash the ROM, you need root access)
Thanx for all your help guys, i read all that info and spent the last 2 days learning lol 2day i sucsessfully downgraded my rom, routed and flashed modaco 2.9
Goodlad!
Excellent. Now please tell our forum members which road you drove to get to root, so that someone with same enthusiam can also do same. You dont have to write whole page, just majot points and references or links.
Thanks.

Check for custom ROM information and recovery images in Hero Android Development sub-forum here. Newbies questions can generally be placed in here. But read some of the content in all the Hero sub-forums to get a feel for what questions are being asked in each forum and go from there. Most likely, your question has already been asked before so search the forums before you ask to avoid getting a sharp reply.

never used winmo before, so the answers in the order of your questions:
not sure what it is but probably yes
yes (if by cooked you mean custom)
no
I know that many of these questions are already answered but i couldn't understand how to do it so here it goes.
I know how to install custom roms/radios/mods etc on HD2 but only on WinMO.
I saw on a friends HD2 android software and i really loved it.
I have a custom rom on my hd2 (omega v14.4/radio 2.10.50.28_2) and i need your help to install ANDROID on it.
Is there a dual bootloader or a specific procedure to run android?
I have to format the phone and install only android on it or there are both on the phone?
Which is the best ROM so far for it?
Battery consumption/signal/gps etc remain functionable like in WinMO?
Thanks for your help! Waiting for your answers!
read the posts and you will find your answers, installing android is simple enough just copy over the android folder to the sd card, all this is covered in the stickies and many other posts in the android area
Thanks for the reply.
You know... it's my first time and i dont want to brick my phone
Could you point out to me a good stable rom? Are the android roms for everyday use or still in pure development?
Thanks. I managed to do it. A few things dont work though but it's very nice and fast!
My grandson just gave me an unlocked HTC HD2 device with Desire 2.2 android already installed on the nand and don't know how to move on with this device as it is my very first android/windows mobile device.
After much searching I came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089768 which seemed to be similar to mine and after reading the very helpful post in the first reply I am stuck on what to do.
I basically want to upgrade to the newest software available for the HTC HD2 and has everything or most function working. If possible I want to wipe everything to brand new and start afresh with something new. Can someone please give me a nod in the right direction as to where to start as this already has desire android on it and it is confusing? I will really appreciate the help I can get. Sorry if I sound very noobish. Thanks in advance
someone please help me with this is almost buried on page 5
Hi, im sorry for question but i'm new to this, so can anyone give me link on how to flash new rom for HTC Titan X319e Windows Phone 7.8. I am noob so i need walk tutorial :S ty
Hello! Go to the development section for Titan, where there is a list of roms. Click on the Sianto edition rom and go to page 2 of the thread, scroll down a bit and someone asks the same question as you, and the developer very kindly gives a step by step guide. This is how I flashed my first rom on my Titan a few months ago for the first time. You won't have any probs if you follow each step. Hope this helps.

A couple of more things...if you're interested in HSPL your device one caveat, not all the Titan (Eternity) devices will successfully HSPL, I'm told the internal memory is the problem; I was able to successfully HSPL two of my devices, but it's not a guarantee thing. If you're interested in stock, that is the easier path to follow and of course, you can use Cab Sender to set those files up.
