Yeah… After using stock ROM for 8 months, I stated to use Windows Mobile 6.5.X custom ROM. Plan to use Android 2.2 Froyo on my HTC HD2. So flash HardSPL3 on HTC HD2. Then flash newer HTC HD2 Radio ROM with CustomRUU. No harm to try out custom Windows Mobile ROM since I have done every prerequisite. I look around lot of Windows Mobile 6.5.X custom ROM at xda-developers. And finally pick Cookie Energy ROM as my first Windows Mobile 6.5.X custom ROM to use.
Cookie ‘Energy’ ROM Features
- This is the best ROM version and the way Sense should have been designed by HTC
- Offers the biggest customization ability out of all versions. You can add/remove bars or items, arranges items on the homescreen any way you like
- Three built in lockscreens. “HD Mini” style, Manila style or Windows style
- 3 pages of quicklinks with configurable amount of shortcuts displayed
- 3 Homescreens to choose from, as seen in the above screenshots, all completely customizable !
Thanks to EnergyROM Chef, NRGZ28. He has done a great work on this ROM. I like it. Still spending time to explore the ROM. Lot of new stuffs added in compare to the stock ROM. By the way, be sure to backup your data first with PIM Backup v2.8 before flashing a new custom ROM. And follow the instructions carefully. π

Hi, Folks;
It will be greatly appreciated, if some one help me find working 2-Way Call Recording apps for my HTC HD2. have ROM Ver. 2.13.531.1 (90963)WWE and OS ver. 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89).
I have tried few apps ICR and Total Recall etc but doesn’t seem to work. I purchased this US ver set ONLY because I thought finding apps for Windows Mobile 6.5 would be easy. But am having real hard time.
Thanks

Hi Jayce
Please assist me in flashing my HTC so that i can install custom ROMs. I have tried all available methods and guides but was not successful. My HTC has the following ROM:
OS VErsion: 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manila: 2.5.20181527.0
ROM: 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
Radio: 2.15.50.14
When I try to flash it i receive below error:
Critical Error
Flow: 00000001
Error Code: 00000002
Description: USB connect failed
My HSPL is: SPL-3.03.0000 XE
Thanks
HardSPL3 does not work on 3.14 ROM. Try to downgrade to 1.66 ROM and flash HardSPL3.
I have tried this and it failed. As I have mentioned that I could load the custom ROM using SSPL method which is clearly explained in the XDA Developer site.
Thanks
Noted. Failed to downgrade? Other people seem able to do so…
The downgrade was successful but flashing with HardSPL3 failed that’s why I had to look for an alternative.
Hi Jayce
Please ignore my previous request as I have managed to update cooked ROM using SSPL method with guidance from XDA developers site.
Thanks
Hi jayce! I was about to install the energy rom but the file i was able to download was a .7z file..is that correct? from what i read and saw from the videos at youtube, its supposed to be and .nbh file so it will work using the customruu..please enlighten me..thank you! π
You need to unzip it using 7-Zip.

hi, now i am use android on my hd2 and every thing work good, only battery not stay long, like 5-7 hours, is there any i can fix that problem?
thank you
Don’t turn on 3G data connection all the time will help. Else change to NAND Android which has better battery life.
where i can download NAND android? which one is best?
thank you
I am using this one – https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/03/download-jdms-ultimate-nand-android-rom-for-htc-hd2/
so, just move the fold to my sd card right, same like before?
Nope, it is totally different. You need to follow the installation guide on that post. And it replaces Windows Mobile 6.5.
so that mean no more Windows Mobile 6.5. only run android?
Yes
Hi Jayce,
1. Is it advisable to install custom winmo rom before installing android?
2. when i use energy rom i can still use cookies home tab 2.0 right?
3. Does installing new custom rom will delete all my installed apps even it was saved on SD card?
Thank you so much! π
1. Nope.
2. Most Energy ROM comes along with CHT 2.0.
3. No, data in SD card will stay there. But all the configuration and data in Windows Mobile will be gone.
Hi Jayce,
I need to keep wm 6.5 for QPPC (GPS), so I tried to download Energy Rom. Actually it is great. but I don’t know why it will freeze after couple days. I need to soft reset again and again. Any idea to fix it?
Hmm… No idea. It might be ROM bug itself. Or some applications that crash with ROM. Or other issues.
You can try the stable version but it has lesser goodies.
hey Jayce, Thanks alot for all the instructions. when I’m trying to flash HardSPL3 on my HD2 through the bootloader, it gives an error msg all the time (error code: 00000002, Description: USB Connect fail) though the phone is properly connected to my laptop, I’m not sure what is wrong, HELP Pleas.

Hi jacye
This rom for wm onli?
Now I use android 2.2 hd2..
If i install this rom,need installs wm ma?
Thks reply.
This is Windows Mobile ROM. If you install this, you are back to Windows Mobile.
Ok…back to wm just go htc website download?
Yes.
does this energy rom unveil the all the 576 ram and how much phone storage will we have?
Forgot already after didn’t use it for long long time. You can try to ask at XDA.
can windows mobile freewares be installed on windows phone 7 phones. how is the backward compatibility like?
None of Windows Mobile 6.5 apps will work on WP7.
Hi Jayce !
Always very interesting !
I have an HD2 and have switched to a WM7 rom. It is quite impressive but I can not download apps despite carrying out the validation key procedure which has synced all my stuff to the phone.
I am now thinking in terms of either going back to winmo 6.5 or trying an Android rom. I used to use the bluetooth file transfer facility and the wifi router on 6.5. Are these available on the Cookies rom?
Mike
I can’t remember. Long time since my last use…
Dear Jayce:
you are always been helpful to me. I have ROM version 3.14. and also have windows mobile central but when i try to flash Cokie Energy on my hd2 it says “The Update cannot get response from your PDA Phone. Please Check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone. And also check your PDA Phone.
If it is because of Rom vesion 3.14, please tell me how to downgrade it.
Thanks
