Please help! - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi guys! My friend has just brought HTC HD2 running gingerbread already. He wants me to update it to jelly bean. I have previoulsy rooted and install custom roms many times but I am not sure if the procedure is same for the htc hd2. Is it ok to download a custom rom and then copy it to SD card and wipe all three and then install the rom? Or there are other measures to be taken before installing? Please someone kindly guide me!

Well ...

Dear Friend , this is almost the usual way to do it ... but if you failed to boot the ROM , try to use the partition size mentioned in the ROM thread ( Well , in HD2 you need to Partition the internal memory - NAND - to get android to boot ... it can be done by choosing the exact Partition size and then flashing the Bootloader again - do a task29 first the flash the Bootloader - and then flash the recovery and finally flash your ROM ) ... Good luck
With Best Wishes

1. As far as I know the only 1.6 rom with bluetooth file transfer support is fyodor's 6.4.2 rom
2. I think of SPQROm and nfinity(I prefer nfinity last version cause have a graphical calibration tool)
3. yes
Before do anything, you should find and download your stock rom(there is a thread in this forum and I think is sticky) and make a goldcard.
Then you'll can flash your stock unrooted rom when you like.
HEy...Thanks a lot...can you send me the link of that thread?

1. See noob guide on Flashing NAND Android rom (link in my signature)
2. You can't back it up, but there are lots of places where you can download the rom. check out the WM6.5 development thread to see if you can get a download link.
3. To me NAND is far more smooth in operation than running off of sd card. Running of sd card I guess gives the flexibility of having 2 os's that you can switch between if for some obscure reason you would want to do that (ie dual boot)
4. Just flash the stock wm rom back
5. No, it won't lock the device again. (AFAIK - 99.9% sure )
My current favourite rom is also linked in my signature.

Could you please quide me ?

[Q] Haven't been on XDA for a while :( few questions

Hey guys I got a few questions,
1. Well its been a long time since I installed an android ROM on my HD2 so I have no idea what i installed at all. Is there any way finding out ?
2. Are there any new programs/new things that should be installed on an HD2
3. Any thing else you reccomend ?
4. How can i remove everything safely from the android rom i have and the bootloader i have.
5. Are there any good Gingerbread ROMS thats well maintained and has sense or thats actually pretty popular ?
6. Any things you might think i might need to know ? Because last time i logged in XDA was like January and alot probably has changed....
From what I know:
Android ROM version: 2011/02/02 gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v1.5
Bootloader?: by cotulla AMGLDR V1.3
I forgot how to use everything etc etc . Please kindly help me
EDIT: Umm, If possible are there any good stock roms or closest to being a stock ?
Well, for number 1 for me under settings>about phone>mod version it tells me that I am using 'Cope and WarrenB's AmeriCanAndroid', but dunno about the rest. Maybe you should search the forums for gpc_hd2_gingerbread and see what results you find.
I think you can find the answers for you questions in my thread, check it out
thanks if i want to clear everything, even the bootloader how? do i just use the task 29 method where you put a stock rom on the sd card and hold the down volume while on boot ?
IMHO you don't need to do a task29. Just make sure you have the correct Clockwork partition layout for the ROM you are installing (it will be mentioned in the ROM's thread).
If you are looking out for a new ROM, I really suggest you take a look at Typhoon's ROM here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
It needs a 150M System partition and 5M cache partition.

[q] How to update after build 7392?

Hi Guys and Girls,
I just got my HD2 today and installed Phone 7 using XBMod/Yuki 2.1.
Now the phone is updated with Zune to version 7.0.7392.0 but instructions aren't clear on how to proceed further.
Offcourse I want the latest version of Phone7.
I can't find links to hd2 7720 fix.rar, and deviceprovisioning.cab.
Can anyone help me further?
Thanks,
Bart
Try this one.
U should try another rom like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534941
That rom update our HD2 to 8773 and no need update by Zune any more.
Anything u need to do is
1. task29 the phone and format your sd card to make sure the phone run smooth.
2. Reinstall MAG and choose USB install, wait few second and run DAF from zip file.
Sorry for my bad Eng.
Have fun.
dont forget to unlock card before change ROM

Well guys, I need a bit more then that.
What's the difference between the Rom's you mention?
How do I 'Task29' the phone?
How do I know my SD Card isn't locked?
Thanks

upgrade to gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369296
after upgrade to gingerbread...rooting etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
I would recommend that after rooting and installing a custom recovery (ClockworkMod) you should make a full nandroid(complete OS + data) backup and keep it safe on your pc or sd card before you do anything else.
once you have are rooted have a custom recovery.. and a nandroid backup you are ready!..
remember.. when flashing ROMS.. check the baseband..which means.. if you are on gingerbread ROM.. official or otherwise.. you can flash any gingerbread ROM.. if you want to flash a ROM based on ICS.. you should get on ICS baseband.. for that you need to upgrade to official ICS.. then you can flash whatever ICS ROM you want..
as for flashing instructions... the ROM builder will have included that.. so read it.
Hope i helped!
Thank u
I'll do exactly what u said wish me luck to not broke my device
thank u,
