Hey Guys I have been changing roms alot on my HD2 but I run them off the SD card, which from my experience so far isnt bad at all. But what I would like to do is Dual run WP7 and then Android off the Sd card. Only problem I have is that my physical back button does not work, and every time I se something about flashing a rom with magdlr its says something about using the back button. I guess my question is, is there anay way I can Run WP7 on Nand without having to use my back button? Any help I really appreciate...(and if this is not the right area to ask please let me know and I will move my question to the appropriate place) thanks in advance, :fingers-crossed:
Seriously, this should be in the QUESTIONS section.
LOL
you can try the new CWM Recovery (Still in beta as of this post) which is Touch enabled.
First beta version came with a soft back button although it might have been removed in the newer beta versions.

This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read:
1. You're asking a question in the DEVELOPMENT FORUMS.
2. You're asking a question about WP7/SD Android in the NAND forums.
3. You clearly haven't done enough searching before asking your question
4. Your thread is titled wrongly. 'Some questions' doesn't give the people who are trying to help you any information, and I would have just skipped over this thread had it not been in the wrong forum.
as above, you deserve the roasting, , ,however, since i'm in a rare good mood, , the answer is no, you don't need the back button at all to flash magldr/cwm/clk/nand roms/wp7 roms. Send, end and voldown are all you need.
Really?!?

This type of answer is definitely understandable, but for
1. I could have sworn people have ran WP7 on the NAND and Android on the SD card (meaning the base is WP7 and they can run Android off the SD card.) ...maybe im wrong
2. You are correct I havent done enough researching on it, I was going based off some Youtube vids and what some people kept tellin me.
3. My thread isn't titled "Some questions" my thread is titled "Serious Question...please help" and I understand that I posted in the wrong place which is why if you read my whole post I established that I would move it if needed.
4. Im a noob when it comes to the HD2 I do understand that...but no need to act like a sarcastic **** about it

I do understand why I deserve some roasting, but I thank you for not coming back with some sarcastic answer. I really appreciate it honestly and I will try to flash it since you said I will not need the physical back button to do so.

I believe I have used this before and it has worked, but thanks for your input as well :good:
If you knew that you hadn't done enough research on it then why didn't you just do some and save yourself the trouble of creating a new thread in the first place?

Hello everyone this may be a silly question but I see a lot of talk about roms within these forums can someone please tell me what are roms and how to install them.
Are they like cab files? or is it more like a OS system for mobile devices...
Will Roms override the os system that's on my device now? thanks for any info on this
the rom is the whole OS, including any pre installed programs. It is a big file, around 200meg that gets flashed to the rom memory chip on your phone. When you boot for the first time, it configures (installs, sets itself up) itself onto your device.
If you install a new rom, it completely removes the old rom, so if you hard reset, you get a fresh copy of teh new rom, you can only go back to teh original rom by flashing the original one again.
Think of it a bit like the windows cd that you use to install your PC.
PLease dont reply with 'how do i do it?', , go and read, then tomorrow, read it all again, then read some more, and then read it all again. By saturday/sunday you should be ready to do a trial flash.

Wow! That's what I did and ya know what? It works.....Try it
HA! You have alot to learn.
? Thanks for reviving a long dead thread with nothing usefull! HA! ...seriously, please refrain from doing that...it clogs up the forums.
I flashed my first rom about 4 months ago using the how to section for noobs. I read it several times, did each step one at a time, testing at each stage to make sure I'd done it right and it works like a charm. Best place to start.

Um..........I'm sorry but i don't get this i've read this thread over and over, and it helped me understand what they are, but not how to use them or modify them........
I'm not trying to revive this thread for no particular reason, but understand what exactly happened, and learn about the topic of this thread.......
As mentioned, there are plenty of tutorials on how to install roms and all about roms in the forums
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Dude I have the same question
ok so bought an HTC hd2 off a guy. He told me it was running a rom called vbnrom-which is a modified winmo rom! i get that. He said i can use android on this phone i just have to download the files onto sd card and hit the program EBL2.0 on my phone. well i can find MULTIPLE diffrent android roms on here but for me its not just as easy as putting on card and hitting button.....
can someone point me in the direction i need to go?
i would like a dual boot option! i mean i guess this phone has been rooted since running VBNROM so from here i would like easiest way to dual boot winmo and android. ive looked to no avail so here i am begging for HELP!!!
thanks in advance!
It's quite simple really.
First off, search! And read (a lot) so as to make sure you understand what you're doing so that everything you do may be reversible.
Click here -> Click me! This is the first place to start.
Make sure you read over the "Reference Materials" and "Android Loaders and Bootloaders" section. That should give you a good head start on getting Android installed.
I am by no means an expert but if you have questions, ask away. I can attempt provide answers to the best of my knowledge and/or refer you to where you can find the answers yourself. All in all, user the search feature - it's a life saver
Goodluck!
THANKS this is a great start
2 quick questions how can i tell if i have hardSPL already installed(remember im currently running VBNROM) so i might??
also how can i tell which radio i have currently?
thanks again!
So I purchased an HD2 from someone and it already has android ported to it. I dont like the ROM that is currently on it and i'm wantign to change it to the Desire HD ROM but I'm sorta stuck.
What steps do I have to do in order to do this? Do I have to remove the current ROM and install the new one? Can I just install the new one on the SD card and *BAM* thats it? do i have to clean the traces of the old ROM?
I have a million questions basically. Can SOMEBODY give me step by step instructions of how to do this or give me a link on how to do this?
To make a build work from the SD card, you need to have Windows Mobile OS.
If you want Android working from Nand, just boot into MAGLDR, hardreset your NAND memory, this will wipe the NAND;
Then enter USB Flasher mode in MAGLDR and either you can flash a new ROM or flash CWM Recovery - a tool from which you can install zipped ROM files from your SD.
Basically, chose the ROM you like to install on your device, and follow the steps provided there, those steps will be sufficient to wipe the previous ROM and install the new one.

Dude, you're a duchebag. Why would I come to a forum (not just a forum, but a Q&A forum) if I havent already looked. Thats why I hate XDA, jacka**es like you and every other "senior member" on this dang website. I come here for help and get insulted by you.
Now who looks like the dumba**? The person that actually needs help or the person that takes to time to not only point out that your a "noob" but also gives you links the the forum that I was already on.
I wish that there was another webiste other than XDA that was interested in HELPING PEOPLE. Rather than just putting them down. The "senior members" need to take a look at themselves and come off their high and mighty cloud and actuall take the time to help the ones that need it.
Wow, no need to be so harsh. And if you keep that up you'll just help turn this into a flame thread, hence the lock down of this thread by a mod. Look at the second link he gave you, it contains links to all the useful information about a HD2, and the answers to your question.
Anyways, look at this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
That thread will give you all the answers, read, read, read, I'm dead serious, it has all the answers.
Read the whole thing.
Best of luck.

Start by going to the windows mobile 6.5 dev thread and in the sticky you will find the task29 without mtty thread, get it. Check what radio you're running and if you don't have the 2.15.50, get it from the same sticky. Now come to android nand dev and find the latest MGLDR and get that too, find a rom you would like to use, find the partition size for such rom and get it.
Now start by task29.
Flash 2.15.50 radio if you don't have it.(if you do skip it)
Flash MGLDR- Either thru DAF or RUU.
Flash Clockworkmod recovery with needed partition.
Copy all your SD card content to pc and within clockworkmod advanced settings, format SD card to 1024mb with 0 swap.
Drop into the SD card the rom zip only and flash it, once done you can transfer the rest of your stuff back to the SD card from pc.
I hope this can help you a bit with your learning of android flashing in the hd2

also my SPL is 1.42.0000 so HSPL will work..
just want a walkthrough on how to install it all, very curious as i dnt want to brick my phone lol. thanks in advance
Firstly, why on earth title your topic as "Help!!", titles of subjects are supposed to be descriptive, titling "help" etc are ridiculous.
Second, If you had bothered to take 2 minutes to look you would find an abundance of guides, no need for this topic at all.
Third, You lost your iPhone then got a real phone, At least one good thing came from this thread
some help you are. i have searched the forums and tbf got abit lost. ive been away from this scene since the first XDA on 02 came out so bare with me. im NOT a complete idiot as i am an MCSE qualified engineer! so dont take me for a TWAT, this forum is meant to be friendly.
ill figure it out myself....!
and also ill probably no more than you will ever no
I think your HELP is just wrong placed - there is a section "HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A and General". So your HELP should be there
go to hdspl mode
change to 2.08
task29
magldr
and wp7

OP, use correct grammar, better thread titling, and correct forum placement if you want to be taken seriously.
Also, MCSE has nothing to do with this, and really is not that difficult of a certification to get in the first place.

When you say a second one, what do you mean?
Did the first flash and boot ok and now you are trying a different build? Or do you mean you are trying a second one as first failed also??
Flashing WP7 is extremply easy. You just simply...
Load into MAGLDR menu
Load USB Flasher
Load up DFT flasher on PC
Start Flashing!
If this doesnt work it could be down to a incompatible SDCard. Some simply wont work with WP7.
Try and do a full format, ie..
Load Panasonic SDFormatter
FULL Format (Overwrite)
Size Adjustment ON
Reflash ROM!
If that doesnt work, use a different card. Remember WP7 creates a 200MB partition on card so dont be alarmed to see that the card only shows 200MB when you see it in windows.

You've been a member of XDA since 2009 and you ask this in a development forum?
Please spend a few minutes looking for yourself, all the information is available in stickies right at the top, and questions do not belong in this subforum.
To answer some of your queries:
1) You need to have put the right HSPL on your phone, with the correct Radio, and then install a bootloader like MagLdr or cLK
2) All a matter of opinion, you'll have to choose one yourself
3) Yes, you can go back to WinMo6.5 whenever.
If you get through the whole installation process.. i recommend NexusHD2 rom. Stable and snappy AOSP rom.
sent from HD2!

Throw your phone in the bin, quit XDA.
There are many guides around, have you read any of the stickes or even the forum rules before posting this such usefull thread in "Development" forums of all the places ?
Personally i feel, people like you dont deserve smart phones.
okay mate look first you asked in the wrong forum but anyway
1- install the MAGLDR 113
2- install the Recovery 400 MB
3- make 2 partitions on your sd card one fat32 and the second ext4( 1Gb )
4- download any rom you want i recommend (nexusHD2) you can find it in the forum
5- put the rom zip file on your sd
6- turn on your phone - enter magldr - enter recovery - choose wipe data and confirm it then choose install zip from sd card and continue from there by locating the zip file on your sd and conform the installation .
7- when everything done just reboot your phone
hope i helped
this is link for the rom and the guide too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
and if you want to get back to WM anytime just flash the original stock rom.
