  21. hmmm i tried this & everything went smoothly until it went to the htc black screen & stayed that way for about 3 minutes. should i just keep waiting or keep doing the process over & over again? it would help me very much :]

  22. Hi,
    I’m very new to all this android stuff on the HTC HD2 and I have some questions which I hope you can help me answer. I’ve just started experimenting installing Android on sd.

    My first question is how do I switch from the Android to Windows and back to Android, easily? Do I use a dual boot app? How do I install this?

    My second question is if I purchase Android apps via Market place on the mobile, does it install to the system or the sd card? can I choose to install on the sd?

    Thirdly, if I decide to remove the Android install from my sd, what will happen to the apps I’ve installed? can I save them and reinstall when I install Android again (eg. a newer version)?

    Thank you for you time.

    I’m trying to install this gingerbread on my HTC HD2 with all the original software the rom version is 3.14 but it’s taking more than 1-2 minutes, its been aboutn 30 mins now. Can you please tell me what I could have done wrong? the only change I made was changed the data.img to the 512, is this ok?

    Thanks again.

  23. hey i have tried this gingerbread and even Froyo android version but after i reboot to go again to to window version and then when i again want to go to android it keeps rebooting.So what should i do,I have the 3.14 rom version, 2.15 radio and how do i know the spl or how do i upgrade my spl version.Pls help!!!

  24. ok so i finally figured out to get the 3.14 rom into the fone & all the other prerequisites but it still won’t work. it goes into the black screen of htc logo & then goes straight to uploading the winmo. what’s happening? >,<

  25. Hey there jay, got a question. I installed gingerbread a few months ago, and up until recently was working great! Ive been getting the (process com.google.process.gapps) force close window and also the signal strength/data indicator is white(grey) instead of green. Any idea why this is happening or a way to fix it? Ive tried the settings>manage applications>google service framework clearing data but that doesnt seem to help

    Thanx!

  26. ok ! but i have a hd2 t-mobile phone . will this work ? (if not. can you tell me a way to installa andoid on my htc hd2 t-mobile on SD Card?! )

  27. Hello. I loaded the android v2.3 onto my phone step by step, and this is my first time. So now my phones is stuck at the android screen after I hit haret n it rebooted. Is this normal, and if so how long does it stay this wat? thanks!

  28. Hi Jayce i installed this on my friends HTC HD2 she never had Android on her phone before.
    Is there anything else i need to install on the phone? Also is there a way where i can save it to the phone memory because when i take the memory card out it goes back to windows?

    • Just make you have all the prerequisites will do. Sorry, this build is based on SD card. Can’t install on internal memory. NAND Android is the one you need if want to install on internal memory.

  29. Hey Jayce i installed android following your steps after i updated the rom and the radio and all of that and it worked great! but now i started to experience problems the internet or any app that requires internet connection stopped working at some times and a bigger problem now is that i cant make phone calls if i try to make a call i get a message on the screen saying “The process android.process. acore stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.” Ive tried rebooting the phone and doing the CLRCAD then HARET nd still once i get it to DROID same message pops up when i try making a call. Do you know what the problem is???

  30. Jayce,

    Need your assistance as I was trying to load- How to install Android 2.3 Gingerbread on HTC HD2? on my HTC HD2 T-Mobile.

    Followed your laid out instructions.
    1. install HSPL3 HTC HD2- loaded ok.
    2. install radio ROM 2.15 – loaded ok
    3. install install DFT MAGLDR Bootloader – loaded ok
    4. This is where all went wrong- install ClockworkMod Recovery- all you see is- “stick together” the t-mobile flash, nothing else.

    I cannot access my HTC HD2 active sync and a hard mac has the same results. Got any ideas / recommendations? As I would really like to get Nand Android loaded on my mobile.

  31. Ok.

    In the mean while how and what can I do to flash my ROM again as it’s still stuck at “stick together” the t-mobile flash, nothing else”.

    I have master reset it and still receive the same message –

  32. hey, i followed the instructions, but the black thingy after clicking haret, stays there for a long time… what should i do?

  33. Hi jayce need ask y when I off the phone and want change it the phone will turn on and make a call the sound like robot when other speak to me

  34. hi i followed your instructions to load gingerbread 2.3 but after loading haret it goes into a black screen and says jumping to kernel i have left it for 10 minutes and nothing happens, could you help?

  35. Hi i have downloaded the latest ROM and run it then i have followed your instructions but i get the Haret boot screen at the bottom says jumping to Kernel custom and freezes, not too sure where i am going wrong your help would be greatly appreciated

  36. Hello Jay,

    Thanks so much for the help.

    I need help… I keep getting this message! The file ‘CLRCAD’ cannot be opened.Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate,or on of its compenents cannon be found.If the problem persists,try reinstalling or restoring this file.

    I had this working for 2 – 3 days but then that happened. Any advice?

      • thnx for replying..
        so once i install HSPL, I’ll be able to upgrade to new Rom 3.14, then 2.3 android ?!

        1 more Q. pls .. what’s the difference between this 2.3.1 android and 2.3.3 ?!!

        • Install HSPL, Radio 2.15 and then Android. No need install WinMo ROM 3.14.

          Android 2.3.1 vs 2.3.3 == Sorry, I don’t know the different in detail. But latest always the best. 😉

  37. okay.. but is it normal that when i open android zip file on my lap, i find folders called boot & META-INF & system.. ?!!

  38. Thanks for the good work here Jayce. One quick question from me too. I recently sent my phone off and got a replacement model, obviously the firmware is updated and the old android i already have loaded on my SD doesn’t function correctly. It’s a Cyanogen mod, and the only issue I can see so far is that the sound is too fast on all programs. Do you think this could be fixed simply by flashing HSPL4 first, and then booting again ? Or shall I completely scrap the idea.

    Also with regards to Gingerbread as i’m a fan of newer models ; are there functions that dont work ? Most importantly wi-fi, camera and video camera, bluetooth, android market etc..

    Thanks in advance.

    • Flashing HSPL4 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL will let you load all the Android ROM out there. Of course, you need to have correct radio ROM too like v2.15 (I am using this one).

      I did not touch SD Android much after changed to NAND Android. So can’t comment much on it. But I know there are lot of good SD builds in XDA website now. You can check on them. 😉

  39. having some problems here. i have all the prerequisites but when i click on CLRCAD and then HARET. all i get is the green colour “HTC” and it had been loading ever since. what did i do wrongly?:)

  40. I just installed this exactly like your video and all seems to be working well. I read thru most of the post trying to get the answer but i must of missed it somewhere. I want to keep windows mobile on my phone as well, but how do i get it to boot up in android after I have turned the device off and back on again. Thanks

  41. Hey Jayce,

    thanks for great walkthrough…been running android 2.3 for about 2 weeks now, but lately my phone has been shutting down on me by itself…sometimes it would leave me at a lite up black screen or it would just vibrate and shutdown on its own

    after it shutsdown i would have to run winmo for a good day before trying to reboot android without it freezing up on me …any suggestions thanks

    oh yeah and would you know if gps exact location works? when im on google maps it will give me like a 600 meter radius but it would never give me exact

  42. Hey there!
    Im getting a HTC HD7 soon(In had the HD2 with gingerbread installed on it and it was AWESOME!) well now my HD2 decided to stop working so I have to replace it 🙁 Do you know any good mods/links for finding installation u=instructions for Android Gingerbread on the HD7?

    Thanx!
    Eric

  43. Hey, I have just installed this android ROM into my HD2. After installation, I found the link you send about the other android’s ROM. SO should i keep this current ROM or use those found at the link?

  44. how can i upgrade my 2.2 desire to 2.3.2 when i completely erased Wm six.5 with MAGLUDER if i am not wrong.
    i followed your steps installing the 2.2

  45. Ok! In case I want to stock with the typhoon gingerbread, after I copy the zip file “boot, meta-inf,system” on SD how do you run it? I think I saw that you are using typhoon as well?

  46. hi, Jayce.
    Thanks for the awsome posts. i just wanted to know i have a htc hd2 and i have done nand android to android 2.2 now how do i upgrade to gingerbread 2.3?
    Also if i downgrade it to wm6.5 then i m not able to bootup with gingerbread 2.3 through sd card. Help Me:-(

  47. I have installed cyanogen nand on htc HD2, so far every thing was smooth. Now I’m stuck with a problem that my short cut to the menu at the bottm is missing and only showing the star. Also i can’t add or delete any other shortcuts on the home screens too. tried googling couldn’t find any bettr solution than factory reset. please let me know if this can be solved without factory reset and if so how to do it and what causes this. Thanks a lot in advance.

  48. Hi Jayce,

    I just upgrade my HD2 With ROM version 3.14.405.2 WWE. But On BootLoader SPL-2.08HSPL.how to upgrade the 2.08 to 3.03? any link and guide? do i have to install SupeRam Froyo before installing ginger? please help thx

  49. just finish custome radio with RUU but when running android folder on my sd card its continue boot WinMo……….haizzzzzz

  50. Dear Jayce,

    I am running typhoon NAND on my htc hd2. Ever since i have installed this the Voice search does not work and show some error massage: “process com.google.android.voicesearch has stopped unexpectedly” I have tried clearing the data and then even re-installing the Voice search application but no yield.

    Also I have another issue with my desktop screen that do not scroll with an ease…but gives a jittery moves before jumping to the next screen. this is recently developed but i have no idea what causes this. Tried with scrolling speed settings etc but no fruit 🙁 Initially i thought it was caused by some settings, but could t figure out..

    Now im thinking of installing on the SD card android and remove NAND one. I think it takes most of the internal space space (only 150MB was left and after installing the typhoon pack and then i have loaded some applications by which i have left with only 26MB space now) So, could u please let me know what is the pro’s and con’s of installing it on SD card instead NAND?

    Thanks for your time.

    • SD Android is getting better nowadays (heard from others but I did not test it). So can’t compare much about SD and NAND since I don’t study SD Android anymore.

      You can use 150MB CWM partition. This should increase internal storage disk space. And use Android ROM with A2SD+ support. This will install apps into SD card directly.

  51. I’m running MDJ GingerBread 2.3.1 with EBL2.1a._PlusUbuntu and it is running great. However I own 3 HTC HD2 phones. On 1 phone is runs amazing, however I tried installing on another phone and it worked for about a week and now when I try running GingerBread alone it keeps telling me The File “CLRCAD” cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate…I’ve tried reformatting the SD card numerous times and reinstalling GingerBread alone and with Ubuntu to no avail. Any suggestions?

  52. I installed the android 2.3 gingerbread and everything went smoothly however, I can not use google, camera, email. When I switch back to windows-everything works fine. Did i do something wrong? I followed all the steps correctly.

  53. Hi jayce i would just like to ask how can i know if my phone is a leo1024 or a leo512? i want to install android cmyxlgo’s stock desire hd rom..or in case my phone is a leo512, is there an existing desire hd stock rom android build that i can install on my phone? thanks a lot! 🙂 i bought my phone here in the Philippines and definitely not a Tmobile one..

    • Only T-Mobile HD2 (US) is LEO1024. The rest are LEO512. So yours should be LEO512. As for Desire HD ROM, just do a search at my blog will do.

  54. Hey Jayce, got a question for ya? Is it possible for a android build to corrupt a SD card? I have a HD2(USA) and rooted android froyo, then upgraded to gingerbread.(ive used a couple different builds) But I Read on one of your blogs the CryogenMod 7 had some MAJOR issues with it, I cant remember which CM build I used but have noticed some issues, Ive reformatted my SD cvard a few times to completely wipe out everything from it, but since then my phone hasnt worked right since. I actually had to replace it with another HD2 and are afraid oif using the same SD card that I had in the old one……help???? hehehe

    Thanx,
    Eric

    Radio 2.15
    Official HTC HD2 ROM v3.14 should be installed. so will installing HTC HD2 ROM v3.14 only will update the other two (spl and radio) also or we will have to do each separately?

It got turned off then I turned it on. And when I try to Tap CLRCAD again it is saying “Cannot be opened ….blah blah..Certificate problem”” What to do please help me

  58. Hello I got it. I did not upgrade my ROM to 3.14, I thought I upgraded to 3.14.yeah now everything is alright.. I have a doubt … Can we use Market place in android ? one fellow told me that we cannot use Market place if you have installed android..is that true ? can we download android games from site and play ? I downloaded angrybirds.apk but when i search for it, I cannot see it in my mobile.why is that ? thanks alot !!

    • No, Marketplace is for Windows Phone. And you still use Marketplace even after installed SD Android.
      By the way, you can use Android Market in Android phone to download apps and games. In your case, use file explorer to find the place that you copied over the apk. It should be there if you copied correctly.

  59. Hello..Yes I have Market Place in my windows htc hd2..I can see market place in android too but we cannot downloads games and app from it right ? (HTC HD2 ANDROID)

  101. Hi….can you help? I’ve tried to put anroid on my HTC HD2 and it didn’t go well. Now when the cell is turned on it goes strait to the magloader screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this phone and ever used it again? Any version of android will do as long as its working ….can you help? I think I messed up trying to install the zip file to the sd card but theres no way to go back…is there?

  102. Hi…again ok I may be the only one NOT getting this..I downloaded the zip of choice. How can I combine the zip & the sd card if my PC doesn’t see the phone due to it loading strait into magloader. I can only use the red,green,blue&white screen or the magloader screen…thats it. How can I still combine the zip and the sd card? Im lost! I see the how to steps but without the zip& sd card first this will not work…Please help or I can pay you before I pull my hair out.

  103. I have a question, I installed the 2.3 android on my HTC HD2, and it works fine, so thanks for that!!!

  111. Hi jayce, i have some problems on installing the google play store, it says application not installed. Any fix to that?

    Sorry for the spam xP

  112. Hello, Jayce.
    I looked at this blog, all the directions are really clear. i have a few quetisons:
    1. i have a t-mobile hd2. I originally have 2.13 and upgraded to Official HTC HD2 ROM v3.14, htat means i HAVE THE SPL 3.03 and Radio 2.15 pre-requisite?
    2. I was just wondering with those two pre-requisites mentioned I can only install the MDJ_GingerBread_HD2_v.1.0_RC5_RAM_STOCK.7z rom, not other ones right? cuz i read other blogs or post from the website, it seems like there are a lot of other ways to install android but other pre-requisites are needed.
    3.what are the bugs that this rom has? does everything work fine?
    4.after i get it to android, say if i want to go back to mobile phone, is there a file manager or is it possible to read the SD card from PC any more?
    5. is there a better android rom that can be installed via sd method that has everything work fine with no bugs or less bugs? do you have them in your blog?
    Thank you very much for you time!

    • 1. Not sure as I don’t have T-Mobile HD2. You might have SPL-2.10.
      2. Better install HSPL.
      3. This is very old ROM. Bugs exist.
      4. This is SD Android. Windows Mobile still there and work like before.
      5. I don’t study much on SD Android. Use mostly NAND Android. But you can find more SD Android at XDA website.

  113. hii.it worked like a charm.but the battery back up is very low.hardly for half a day..it keep on draining even though it is in sleep mode.please help me JAYCE. 🙂

  115. Hi Jayce: I already upgraded my T-mobile HTC Hd2 to the 3.14 rom, does that mean that I already satisfy the first two requirements of—SPL 3.03 Radio 2.15 and I am ready to just follow this guide and install the android? That means I will still have my windows mobile, all it does is do some changes to the memory card rite? does the android market work on this after android is installed? thanks for your time!
