How to install Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on HTC HD2? Yes, I am sure that you will ask this question if you have HTC HD2 with older Android version like 2.3 Gingerbread. Basically, the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich installation on HTC HD2 is the same as previous version which use ClockworkMod Recovery CWM method. For experience ROM flasher, you can skip this tutorial. Download Android 4.0 ICS ROM and install it now. As for new comer, please stay with me by following below step by step guide to install Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on HTC HD2.

Prerequisites

  • SPL-2.08.HSPL
  • Radio that support 576 MB RAM
  • DFT MAGLDR Bootloader v1.13
  • ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3

Do take your time to study these guides. Then install them one by one. You need all these components in order to use Android 4.0 ICS NAND Android.

Note – You need to use 220MB ClockworkMod Recovery partition layout for this NexusHD2 Beta10 ROM. Do refer to ROM chef for the correct CWM layout size if you install other ICS ROM.

Step by Step Guide

  1. First of all, copy the Android 4.0 ICS ROM zip file that you want to install into SD card (use SD card reader or MassStg in MAGLDR).
  2. Power on your phone and don’t let go power button.
  3. DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded.
  4. Use volume down button to go down to 8. AD Recovery.
  5. Then press call button.
  6. ClockworkMod Recovery will be loaded then.
  7. Select wipe data/factory reset. (You can skip this step if upgrade from same ROM)
  8. Then select Yes — delete all user data.
  9. Select wipe cache partition. (You can skip this step if upgrade from same ROM)
  10. Then select Yes — Wipe Cache.
  11. Go to install zip from sdcard.
  12. Then select choose zip from sdcard.
  13. Select your zip file (NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta1.zip in my video).
  14. Select Yes – Install your zip file.
  15. Press power button to go back.
  16. Then reboot your phone.
  17. Android 4.0 ICS OS will be loaded then.
  18. That’s all.

I was using NexusHD2 Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Beta1 ROM for HTC HD2 in the video tutorial. It is a port from Nexus One’s AOSP ICS ROM. Thanks XDA Developer, tytung for the ROM. Not all functions are working due to it is still in beta stage. No worry, latest version should be better with all working functions. Do check out XDA website for latest Android 4.0 ICS ROM for HTC HD2.

    Grtz. from tha lowlands.

      • I’ve also tested and it worked well. only if you have used the camera he jams and falter.
        I recommend it especially to use as replacement for Windows 6.5, first time I’ve wondered if he could, and in Dutch but it is possible.

        Grtz. DutchMan

  39. Hi Jayce,
    Thanks for the newest version ROM for HD2 (NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta3.zip)! I installed according to your manual above. Before I was running Gingerbread 2.3.7 (Nand) on my HD2.
    But after installing this new rom HD2 refuses to start! Each time it starts it shows HTC logo, loads amagldr 1.3, background goes blue for about 0.2 second and loads the green HTC logo and goes off! Then it starts up again, and repeats the whole process!

    Any idea?
    Thanks,

    Maker

  43. Hi Jay,thanks for the link for sandwich icecream,now I did installed it but the thing is that after I install it get stuck on the black HTC please help jayce

  44. I have successfully installed ICS4 on my HTC HD2. However, I can’t connect to WIFI because it is not showing available accounts. I tried to add it manually, but saying active accounts not available. I followed each steps correctly . please help.

  45. Hi Jayce,

    I have installed on my HD2 (from WM) the latest Android ICS based on your description
    (which is by the way very good. Detailed, Easy, Understandable)

    Unfortunately the camera does not work.
    What could be the problem? Is there a fix for it?

    Thank you
    Zsolt

  47. Hi Jayce, i followed your video instruction 100%, even wipe out cache and personal data using CMW before installation of the ics bet5 version.
    the ics running okay, except the known problem on the camera. BUT found that the internal storage only total 150MB and now used 109MB, left only 42MB free.
    Can you please guide me how to expend the original 150MB to higher? as this HD2 should have total 448MB RAM with 512MB ROM.
    thank you.

    • Use 200MB CWM partition layout.

      We can’t use all 512MB ROM because system and other stuffs use it too. The CWM partition layout size is reserved for system use. So the bigger the system size, the smaller the user size.

  48. Hi, Jayce, but how to do to use 200MB CWM Partition layout. pls advise the procedure (and link if possible).

    it is new for me to on using xxxMB CWM Partition layout.

    Appreciated.

  49. Hi, Jayce,
    1) how to open flash.cfg ? any video guide ?
    2) install CWM Layout and Android ROM means re-install CWM version 1.3 and Android 2.3.7, right ?
    Pls advise your professionalism.
    Appreciated.

    How to Install Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on HTC HD2?

  61. HEY DUDE I NEED HELP!!! I DID EVERYTHING U DID AND EVEN WAITED 2 HOURS BUT IT STILL STAYS STUCK ON THAT COOL COLORFULL BOOT ANIMATION

  62. Hey Jayce,

    I was running CorDroid 2.2.1 then tried to upgrade to ICS 4.0 using your instructions as above.

    It all works but as some users have already stated, ICS 4.0 it just hangs in the animation screen forever…

    I have all the the Prerequisites as you’ve mentioned but tried to check the partition size..in MAGLDR Boot Menu:

    2. Boot AD SD its keep saying “SD kernel Open failed” and when i check 3. Boot AD NAND it keeps saying “NAND kernel open failed”

    Does this mean I will have to partition my SD card again?

    Many Thanks
    AsH

  64. Hi,

    I just completed al the described steps, and successfully installed ICS on my HTC HD2.
    Thanks a lot for your easy to understand tutorials, since i am not very experienced on these things.

    It seems that the beta6.zip is VERY stable (a lot more than Win6,5) and i don’t care there are some things that aren’t working. now i at least have a phone that can call, text, email….

    However i do have a question:
    Is it possible to use the android market?
    I seem to have some problems, when i want to download an application, i select download > accept and Download, thereafter the phone says:
    ” Fout ‘appx’ kan niet worden gedownload wegens een fout”
    Meaning:
    “‘appx’ can’t be downloaded due to a fault…”

    I did every step described, and was connected to 3g + wifi….

    Maybe its a not so smart question, but i appreciate your help!

  67. Hey Jayce I installed beta5 and using it now. When I want to go in MAGLDR to update beta 7 it says unable to connect because of USB. When I connect it to my computer, I can see USB instead of Serial when I power on and press volume down button…

    Thanks!

      • Hi Jayce, you mean you have no idea how to make a partition on a sd card or if its possible to make one with this ROM? Can’t you help me and tell me what I’m doing wrong and why my disk space always stays the same although the partition has been made?

        thanks!

  82. Hi,

    last week i installed ICS on my HD2, which was great! However, a few days ago my touch screen didn’t work anymore. but after a few hours it started working again. i experienced this a couple of times, and now the touch screen doesn’t work anymore.

    I figured, i needed to reinstall the ROM. So i started your guide at step 11.
    But the problem didn’t disappear.

    My question is:
    How do i completely reinstall your guide, including the prerequisites (which i completed via your guide)?

    Thanks in advance,
    HvdG

  83. Hi there,

    I have a small problem:

  84. Hey this is a great update, but whenever i plug in my usb i dont know how to turn into disk drive anymore =\
    Also camera doesnt work ^.^

  85. When do u think this will be done? like the camera problem etc .. so i can use it as an everyday OS ,… its really awesome btw. good job 🙂

  86. I was looking at the video and planned to port the rom over, but i still want to keep my current custom rom also, is there a way to dual boot?

  87. Hey beta 8 works the best it even boots up faster thanks for posting this my brother gave me his HD2 he was just gonna throw it away wait till he see this.

        • no camera is still not working but seems that everything else is,it automatically downloaded all the apps I have on my photon 4g as well as all my contacts and they all seem to work except the one that work with camera,even Netflix works you tube etc…. out side of the camera I feel like I have a new phone,I wasn’t bold enough to try this on my Photon,but like I said before my brother was gonna trash it so I gave it a shot glad i did. don’t have a sim card to play with since I’m with Sprint at the moment so I cant comment on how the phone calls work. But if your gonna do it use beta 8! that’s the latest one.

  88. Hi Jayce,

    Is there a way to update from beta to beta instead of clean install? so I can keep all my setting and apps.

    What are some of the common skin pack for android? icons and theme wise.

    Thanks, love your site.

    Pls guide me how to reflash it sucessfully ?

    Appreciated.

  104. Hi, Jayce,
    I installed Beta10 onto my HTC HD2, running ok, but the battery draining a bite fast, 100% only for 4-5 hours, any thing can be done to avoid the draining as i already terminated the unnecessary application, such as wifi, google locaton, google searching, and gps, etc. secondly, what is the difference between ASOP Beta10 vs CM9 both from tytung ? i am confused and would like to know which one is better ? pls adv.
    Appreciated.

    ICS_Camera_HAL_for_2.6_kernel_(credit_to_rapmv78)

    Just copy to sd card and use 8. AD RECOVERY to run on zip open from sd card or update zip ?

    Pls guide.

    Appreciated.

  107. Hi Jayce,
    I just finished downloading and installing the process as in your video and website. I used the beta 10 version and 400mb partition CWM. What is the normal booting time because i already waited for 2 hours for the booting to finish. I think i have problem somewhere. Need your help to resolve the problem. Appreciate for your feedback.

  108. I already have cyanogenmod 2.3.7 on my HD2 and I just want to update it to the current version. I copied the zip to my SD card and extracted to the SD card as well but I left the .zip too just in case. When I select 8. AD Recovery, it says no boot sources…what am I doing wrong?

  111. Hi Jayce!
    You did a great job!
    I have one question: How can I extend the storage space of 250 mb? I downloaded 5-6 app from market and now it says there is no space available for downloading other apps…

  112. i’ll compelety install ics on my hd2,but its hang on boot page and restar again and reapeat this over and over.please help me!!!

  114. I brought my HD2 already rooted, and running gingerbread. I wanna upgrade it to ics now. Is it safe to say that I have the radio, magldr and everything already and i just need to follow your instructions. Btw when i use rom manager to back up my current rom, it just reboots skipping the actual process. And when I do it manually i go to my bootloader (magldr 1.13) and i go to recovery it says” Cannot read ramdisk image” Please any help, IM dying to do this.

      • Well to tell you the truth I dont know. I didnt hack it myself so I dont know what the man did to the HD2. It originally a windows phone and he put gingerbread on so I assume he did the prerequisites. If I have to redo them I will, but if I were to do them twice would damage anything?

          • Yes, but youre not understanding I dont know which I do and which I dont have. If somebody already put a custom rom on my phone does that mean I have them? My gingerbread is on nand does that help?
            Btw when i bootload it and try to go to ac recovery it gives me an error saying “caanot read ramdisk image” and when i try to backup in rom manager it just reboots without saving anything. Please try to answer all my questions.

              • I think I just understood something. I clicked the videos for the prerequisites, and if you want to put magldr you need the custom radio and SPL-2.08.HSPL. Well I have magldr 1.13 so I must have those two as well. My only question now is how come when i try to back up from rom manager or magldr, it says cannot read ramdisk image. If you could answer that you would be more super then you already are. Thanks in advance.

  115. Hello Jayce,

    I used:
    – HSPL4
    – 2.14.50.04 and later 2.15.50.14
    – magldr 1.13
    – recovery 150mb and later 250mb
    – beta 10

    I f*cked up i think. Id did all the steps (my win7-laptop would not open CustumRUU so i did that on my winXP-pc) and the other steps on my win7-laptop). When i installed beta 10 it went oke till the startup of the phone. The HTC-letters in green kept standing on the screen.

    Since then i tried the 2.15.50.14 and the 250mb. The problem is now that what ever i install, i dont get the black screen with the choices where you can scroll with the vol-button.
    – it starts to the green HTC en then does nothing
    – when vol-down & power:
    PB81100 SS-BC
    SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
    0x05
    CotullaHSPL 0x50

    what to do now??

  158. I pre-excuse myself for maybe not reading the instructions enough. But before I update I’d like to know if my phone is able to being turned into an android. Here is its information:

    OS: 5.2.21869
    Manilaversion:2.5.19211619.0
    ROM-version: 1.66.413.2 (76641) SVE
    Radio-version:2.07.51.22_2
    Protocol-version: 15.32.50.07U

    (Not sure about the translations, essentially swedish)

    I know, for example, that the radio version may have to be updated. But I’m uncertain that my OS or even my phone can simply be turned into an android without any issues.

    Can anyone please give me some input? I want to learn, so please bother!

  161. Hay Jayce,

    i followed all the steps to install Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on my hd2 but it stucks on the screen before the android start ( which you did fast forward on the video )
    Does it take a very long time or maybe there is a problem

  162. i opened flash.cfg file by notepad and find the following information :

    recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
    boot yboot|ro 8M
    system ya 400M
    cache ya 8M
    userdata ya|asize|hr all size so i think it’s 400 M and the CWM only need 250 M right ??

  165. Hi, I am a newbie to this. I have a Tmobile HD2. I wanted to know if doing the above steps to install ICS will wipe out windows 6.5?

    Appreciate if anyone can let me know if it is possible to have both.

  231. Hi!

    I installed OS and works. Occurs to me that gets blocked when I turn on the camera or while doing something, as if the poor RAM memory and gets stuck. Is it a bug and you have to repair it?

  233. Hi Jayce:

    Previously i flash TyphooN CM7 Android 2.3.5 NAND Android A2SD+ Zip ROM..then everything work well..then i decided to flash ICS into my HTC HD2. I try to create custom ClockworkMod Recovery partition size for HTC HD2..then i bump into your post to about remove the EXT3..i follow the way u post in “How to revive SD card after install Windows Phone 7 on HTC HD2”..

    then i want to flash this ICS by wipe data/factory reset but i get the error

    E:failed to mount/sdcard (Invalid argument)
    Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
    skipping format..Data wipe complete.

    even i try mount unmount the sdcard also cant..how to solve the problem?

  242. Great guide! Before I get into my problem, I want to thank you.

    Tried to upgrade to ICS from an old existing Froyo ROM that was on it when I bought the phone. I have the T-Mobile HTC HD2, if that makes a difference.

    Verified hspl, radio version, updated magldr from 1.11 to 1.13, installed 250mb-sized cwm 1.3 (or 3.0.0.5). All of this worked without a problem.

    Then, from CWM, I did the following, in this order:

    – formatted SD card with 512mb (0 mb swap size) partition for a2sd

    – mounted SD card on pc and transferred the latest NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.5.zip (checksum already confirmed)

    – wiped data/factory reset

    – wiped cache

    – wiped dalvik

    – flashed NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.5.zip

    – rebooted

    #1. After the reboot it froze on the screen “requesting superuser permissions.” Had to pull battery and wait a few.

    #2. After next reboot, it got past the first setup dialogue (where you click “next”) and loaded with date and time (it took a long time to get there; I was asked by Android if I wanted to FC Settings, it was so slow). On date and time setup screen, it froze, with a dialogue at the bottom saying “superuser permissions denied.” Another battery pull.

    #3. Rebooted into CWM and repaired permissions. Rebooting into Android gave me the same problem as #2. Tried FC’ing settings this time when it asked me, thinking I shouldtry to get out of the setup process so I could enable superuser. Screen just went black except for status bar at top and it froze.

    #4. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, repartion sd card, fix permissions, reboot into Android

    Now it won’t even get as far as before; it just freezes on the colorful multicolored spinning platforms screen.

    I feel like I’ve followed everything to the letter, including reading the ROM’s thread at xda. I don’t want to do this all over again. Is there something simple I’m maybe forgetting?

    Thanks!

  243. They recommend “at least 165MB.” I saw nothing about it needing a custom size.

    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21173918

    Update: removed the sd card and did a slow format on my Win7 laptop using card reader. Then left the phone alone (with battery pulled) for a couple hours. Voila! It booted into Android setup, let me grant SU permissions permanently and I setup the phone. Oh, did I say, “voila?” I spoke too soon. It soon froze up again after about 10 minutes and was getting hot (this is just a problem with some htc hd2’s, as you know. It’s happened in the past with my Froyo ROM but not constantly like right now.) So…another battery pull, but I only waited a few minutes; not a couple hours like before. You guessed it; it booted but froze on the Android unlock screen. It really needs some time to cool down!

    I think all the tricks that the ROM chef put into it to make the hardware work with ICS just pushes my phone too far. Living in Thailand probably doesn’t help, either. It was 98 degrees F today with no aircon in my apartment. Still, I was having this problem only occasionally with the old ROM…even in the heat. I don’t think ICS is in my future. Do you know of a good Gingerbread ROM for overheating issues. Is there such a thing? I’ve searched for awhile, but haven’t found anything yet.

    Thanks for everything, sorry for the long post.

  244. Hello Jayce, Is the android version of ice cream sandwich you’ve used is the same as the one that xda developers has……… Cause I’m looking for the original version of ice cream sandwich…… any ideas if it is out would be a great help……..many thanks.

        • Hi Jayce, one more question. Have installed the 250Mb, but how can I switch from the internal memory card to my mini SD card 2G. Still busy checking out if I can find a way to do it manual in the phone, in windows the phone always asked me where i want to storage things on.

          Is there anyway I can use up the 2G on the mini SD card instead of the user storage ?

          Hope you can help me out with this matter.

          Thanks. 😉

    Is it possible to make the partition that I install android to bigger? As when I’ve installed Android I only have 80MB left for apps. Where the maximum size is 150MB. And to my knowledge, the internal memory is a total of 500MB

  268. HI i am completely new at this and yesterday tried to install TypooN cm7 on my htc hd2. it was a complete fail and i ended up having to install the stock ROM for tmoblie us htc hd2. i know this process removes MAGLDR but does it also delete my previous HSPL( 2.08) and radio ?

  269. Hello Jayce I have installed ics on my HD2 but everything is so slow and laggy eg (when I click the menu/applist button it takes ages when it zooms) and my interal memory is only 151mb so i can only download up to 7 apps, did i do somthing wrong, if i did please tell me how to fix and by the way i have 8gb sd card

  271. Hi Jayce,
    I have installed Beta 10, and followed the whole process, it works smoothly, and no problems, but the WIFI Connection is not finding any network, also cannot connect to the mobile data plan, and the Video recording is not working even that the still shots is working well.
    Please Advice,
    Thanks a Lot

  272. hi jayce,

    i apologize for beimg a hassle but i have everything on my phone android 4.0 and all but theres an issue! i dont have a back or menu tab on the touch screen like you did! how do i fix it? becuz everything else is perfect except i have no back button it did that with every rom i tried can you help?

    • same here but who needs a back/home/taskthing when you already have the buttons
      you have the back button the home button and the task thing if you hold the window logo for 3 seconds

  273. thats what im saying when i downloaded the rom my home button and back button stopped working and i saw on your video that you dont even use the buttons because there a back and home on the actuall screen that you can touch thats what i want cuz i cant go back or anything on any rom

  275. So I’ve followed your steps exactly, installed everything correctly. Now that I have my phone all set and ready, my touch screen isn’t responding to anything. My hard buttons are still working, but my phone (since I’ve started running ICS on it) wont do anything. I’m stuck on the “Welcome” screen and can’t progress any further than that because well, I can’t press anything. Any suggestions? Should I try re-installing something? Please help, I really need a phone to use.

  276. Hello Jayce
    If I install icecream sandwich android on my htc hd2 (512mb), using your video tutorial, and if i remove my sd card, will my phone still remain on icecream sandwich?

    Thanks.

  278. why does it stop freqently…when i reboot the phone? it gets stuck in the part after the logo…now i need to install it again? is their better and more stable version out so i can maybe just put that? 🙁

  280. Hi ,Jayce ,I installed ICS 4.0.3 ,everything works OK ,somehow Netflix no video ,just sound,
    should I go back CM 7 ,and then reinstalled ICS ? ,Thanks

  283. hello Jayce, do u have any solution for HTC 7 and HTC mini, how to convert them to andriod operating system. thanks in advance.

  284. Hi Jayce, I’m using win XP which is already administrator. I noticed that your video used win 7 and using ‘run as administrator’ when running phone tools. I double left click the tool, sample is HSPL, it will run (as I said because I’m admin). Will that be okay or I really need to use ‘run as administrator’

    Another thing is HTC HD2 international more durable than HTC HD2 T-Mobile? Thanks a lot! 🙂

    • Hi Billy, my HTC HD2 is not with me. So I did not try HD2 ICS ROM lately. No idea.
      Do try it yourself. More latest ICS ROM can be found at XDA website. 😉

  300. Hi Jay,

    i have the HTC HD2 with 6.5 official rom . i would like to erase the complete phone with the best working Ice cream sandwich rom that works perfectly with all features of the phone.
    could you provide me the link to download all the required programs and videos to resolve and update perfectly. i would like to have a non beta version if possible.

    thanks for your support . also update me with all the latest updates to my email .thanks once again.

  301. Thank you very much, i have a question
    after i did all this steps nd repoted my device, it did not open,the only thing that appears on the screen it is the word htc and black backgroung, so what is the wrong or what i should do.

  303. hi jayce its me again :)) i want to ask why is my internal mem. is 66 mb in ics? is there a way to make it bigger? xD

  305. Jayce,

    What is the latest version ICS? I followed the instructions above and everything worked out well, I did not have any issues installing because I have done this a few times. In fact I went from 2.2 to 2.37, and finally to 4.0 within two weeks. I guess I have an idea of installing now..lol I just want to thank you for all the information you provide. The only issue I had with the above install was my camera acts up and the video does not work. I figure these are all some minor bugs other than that everything works really fast and stable. Again is there a newer version where everyday works? Thanks.

  306. More question I found a link that states this ” Here is a zip file which can be flashed on top of an ICS ROM.” I already have ICS on my phone, how can I do this step?

  307. Hi Jayce,

  310. Trying to install NAND version but when I flash the rom from MGLADR and reboot the phone it gets stuck at the HTC boot screen and does not go any further. Any ideas as to why that may be? I would appreciate any help I can get. Have no problems flashing the Gingerbread ROM from the same developer. tyung….. awesome btw…

  317. Jayce,

    thank you for the link for the softkeys zip. I now have softkeys. Is there a way foe me to go into settings for the softkey options, for instance I do not have a power off softkey. Thanks

  370. Hi Jayce,

    I installed everything, used NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.3 ROM. First, it kept showing the startupscreen with alle the colors. After getting the battery out and starting again it all seemed to worked. However, after that it went back to showing only that startup screen (looping) and I can not get beyond that now. Already reinstalled everything, using custom 220mb CWM layout size.

    Do you have any suggestions what I can do?

  371. hi pls am new here and also new to android and all this switching of operation system from windows to android.

  374. Hi Joyce,

    I tried above tutorial to update my HTC HD2 to Android. All the actions were performed perfectly.
    Now after Android is installed, it is just stuck on Boot Up Screen…(where you did fast forward in the video). It is stuck on the same screen. Nothing happens after that.

    Is there any way to update this again as I tried to do that but my phone enters immediately into Android loading up mode. Or is there anyway, I can reset the phone to factory settings and then perform these actions once again to install Android.

    Thanks.

      • I figured that out..I accidentally used 400MB.
        I am trying to reinstall the CWM again. Everytime I restart the phone, I can not enter MAGLDR, is does not show those options now, it quickly takes me load Android and I get stuck at the same screen. Can you tell me how I can reset all this and go back to install CWM 250MB and then do the installation.

        Currently the Loader does not show any options as it did before. It just quickly goes 123 GO GO GO and the same screen starts again. Please advise how I can load up the Boot Manager again and then install CWM 250 once again.

        Thanks Joyce.

  376. Hello!

    I have some problems! I’ve downloaded the zip-file Nexus HD2 – Ice Cream Sandwich from hotfile.com, I’ve done exactly the same thing as you did in the video! BUT, I seriously can’t find the actual main zip file “NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10.zip” to put on my SD card!

    Can you help me?

    And I’d install CWM 250MB btw ..

    It’s a great side though!
    Thanks!

  377. According to your list under the video –

    “1. First of all, copy the Android 4.0 ICS ROM zip file that you want to install into SD card (use SD card reader or MassStg in MAGLDR).”
    and ” 13.Select your zip file (NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta1.zip in my video).”

    When I’ve copied what I’ve downloaded on the SD card, I can’t fing this zip file on my phone!

    Do you have any suggestions what the problem is?

  378. thanks for the great software en how to, it works great.
    althoug i still have the problem with the camera it crashes after one foto,
    is there a fix for this bug or is there one omming?

    hope to hear from you soon

    Yours Patrick, holland

  379. Hi again,
    I cannot see the Nexus file on my SD card, It’s a zip file and I put it correctly on the SD card with MassStg but I still don’t have it when I have to install it, Maybe it’s because it the Beta 10 and it’s an diffrent use?

    • Well also everytime that I put the file in the SD card, it vanished, gone, and I keep doing this, put the file and when I unpluged the USD and then plug it again in the computer, the file is no more there… Any idea? thx

    Thanks for your very clear instructions. I’ve managed to install Nexus HD2 ICS rom on my HTC HD 2 and it worked fine.

    It’s been a few months now, im thinking to replace the current 8 gb SD card with a bigger memory SD card (perhaps 16 or 32 gb)

    My noob question is – what do i have to do if i want to use a different SD card? Do i have to reinstall the ROM again? From which step do begin? Could you please clarify this?

    Do you have any recommendation for SD card? I’ve read that there are many classes, some of them work better than the others. Im confused.

    Thank you very much
    Have a nice weekend

  430. Hi
    I did everything as you said. Just the DF had the error that the text is missing, so I got it from another part of the website from on of the forums.
    I did everything to the last step as shown in the video. It copied files and then as you said I pressed turn off and selected reboot now (is that right?), it rebooted now and the green icon of HTC is showing but it never enters Adnroid. Just the green icon is on the screen. What should i do????

  431. I mean DAF. I followed everything but now HTC logo is frozen here. should I use this:(as recommmended by one of your senior members?) I’m very nervous. plzzzzzz help me to load my phone.

    1)go to android nand thread and find a rom to your pleasure
    2)in op of rom find which nand partition you need
    3)using tool arrange and apply this nand partition in usb flasher mode (e.g. if it says 5-180-5 you’ll choose custom at left column and 5 as cache,then click repartition and write 180 in the coming window.)
    4)if your hd2 is eu,then make an ext partition. in mgldr:ad recovery-advanced-partition sd card-choose 1024-choose 0.(this procedure will wipe everything in sd)
    5)put your rom.zip file to sd: in mgldr:ad recovery-monts and storage-mount usb storage-send your file to sd

    6)now press back button-select install zip from sd-choose zip rom sd-find your rom.zip.

  432. Hi
    I haven’t done it dear dear Jace. I’m telling you that after I installed and rebooted, only HTC green logo is showing. I asked you if I should do this or any other thing. please give me a response.Can I come back to my windows or do you have any solution?

  433. HI,
    I have HTC HD2 running andoid 2.3.2 and when I tried to follow your video, I downloaded the program on my SD ram and tried to boot, I chose No.8 “recovery” but I got this message:

    “no boot resources”

    do you have an idea why I got this??

  436. I have followed all the instructions but when i boot it up it just does the light thing for hours just wondering what i have done wrong if anything

  439. Hi, thanks again. One more question, everything seems to work well except the wifi. It keeps authenticating, it connects and starts authenticating right away and again and again. Any idea?

  440. I installed gingerbread quite a while ago (probably at least 1 year ago). I’ve got spl2.08. Do I need to install another custom radio & MGLDR again or can I simply install ICS?

    Thanks!

  441. Dear Jayce first thanks for that , Hd2 its working with ics but my messaging service and camera its not working properly. can you please help me … once again thanks a lot

  442. Hey Jayce, I seemed to have downloaded everything correctly, but when android starts to boot after the final step, my phone goes to the HTC screen and just freezes.. I can not get past this. I tried to start over but my USB will not connect. HELP PLZ

  444. Hello!
    Everything went perfectly, until the last step. When i thought everything went well, it just froze showing “htc” in green with a black background. And it didn’t change.
    Now i can’t do anything, help please!

  445. hello jayce,

    thanks for this great tutorial
    but everythime when i start clockworkmod recovery it says 1E fatal hit or it stucks at “go go go”

  446. Hi this software was great after yesterday. I went to switch on my mobile when the start up section got stuck and the phone will not load. You know in the beginning the loading part with all the colours piece….it gets stuck on that for me and keeps on going on and on and the only way to switch it off is by removing the battery. What can i do?

  447. Hi Jayce,

    Since last few days my HD2 screen freezing, i tried restart, removing battery etc but no solution.
    Please guide me how to fix this issue ?

    Regards,
    Subash

  448. hello Jayce… during the process of changing the OS on my htc hd 2 from Windows to Android 4.0 ICS beta 10, mt phone suddenly refuses to come on unless its plugged either to the USB or power source. Have successfully installed the Android, but my phone doesn’t come on unless it is plugged to the power source and goes off immediately its unplugged, what could be the problem?

  450. i have American Android on my HTC HD2 and my friend uses Cyanogenmod which we have to install in the SD card. So each time the phone runs out of charge, when it opens it reboots back to Windows and then open Android from the SD card. Will this process of installing Ice Cream Sandwich let the HTC HD2 directly open with Android and not windows when it reboots? Also, we’ve been having problems with the phone screen shutting off once it has been booted with android–and so we always have to make sure that screen is always on/lit. I hope to hear from you.Thank you.

  452. hi, i followed all the steps but unfortunately on the last step of pressing the power button to REBOOT the phone after installing the nexus zip folder i accidentally pressed the call button. i just did a battery pullout then turned the phone back on. it showed the messages that it is opening NAND etc, then it showed the HTC logo. It has been on like that and it wasn’t taking the screen to the welcome screen to the installed android. do i have to re-install windows os again then do the whole process? or i’ll just wait til the phone works on the android.? please help.

      • i just copied these infromations from the About Phone:

        model number: `nexus hd2
        android version: 4.0.3
        baseband version 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
        kernel version: 2.6.32.15_tytung_ICS_Beta8
        tytung@ubuntu #218
        mod veresion: unknown
        build #: IML74K (nexushd2-icecreamsandwich)

        ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3
        250 MB partition

        Also, i have been having issues with the built in camera. it’s been freezing a lot as well as with the Facebook app–it always just show the rotating icon and slow to load that is why I unistalled the facebook app.
        By the way, since i got used to using the format/look of the ADW launcher, i installed and opted to use it. Does this has something to do with the phone’s system functions?

        Also, is there a way to enlarge the icons showing on the notification/status bar on top of the screen? They’re a little bit smaller to look at. Still trying to get used to the browser as well.

        I was really hoping that this ice cream sandwich thing will give a better and convinient function than the cyanogenmod/american android i used before.

        Thanks for helping us and I appreciate it.

              • I saw this link from your YT channel (How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 with ClockworkMod Recovery) I am considering on installing this and removing the ICS. Or can you suggest other ROMs that I can use that will boot my HTC HD2 directly on Android? I’m really having issues with ICS when it comes to Instagram, Facebook, camera. I used to have Cyanogenmod 7 and American Android saved in my SD card and they both worked fine with these apps. Unfortunately when I am on Android, at certain times when the screen is on timeout, it won;t turn the screen back on thought I know the phone is still on coz of the buttons are lit when hou press them but the screen is blank. Then I would pullout the battery, turn on windows then do CLRCAD, HARET thing from the the saved Android in my SD card. I hope you can help me with this, Thanks.

                • i just installed TyphooN_CM7_v3.6.8-MAGLDR and i got rid of ICS and followed your instructions. Was able to do the whole thing. Instagram don’t seem to be available on this one or cyanogenmods? I only found informations online. This getting a little frustrating. ICS have instagram but fail to execute properly.

  453. Hi jayce,

    I have a T Mobile HTC HD2 which I had loaded with Android 2.3.7 about 7 months back.

    Baseband :15.40.50.07U_2.12.50.02_2
    kERNEL : 2.6.32.15_tytung_r13-gcedba87 tytung@ubuntu#130
    Mod Version: CyanogeMod-7-11072011-NIGHTLY-Desire[TyphooN_v3.7.5-MAGLDR]
    Build No: GWK74
    Mem Info : 140 MB/ 410 MB

    It heats up when I put on the GPS or the Cellullar Data or a heavy duty game and the screen freezes.
    My main use will be for GPS and route navigation, net browsing on cellular data etc.

    Now I wish to upgrade to Android ICS (the one u showed above). Is it feasible to do it and will these features work.

    Thanks in advance

  457. Hey, I’m trying to install Android on my HD2 and i have installed successfully all 4 prereqs, but when it comes time to copy ice cream to the SD card, it locks up halfway through and shows my phone as unpartitioned and i can repeat indefinitely but it keeps doing it over and over, all my data is there but when i try to copy onto it, it freezes halfway through

  458. please help me if you can,i broke my dads cell by mistake but i just bought a new one.his phone was hacked to take any sim card,i would like to know what do i need to do the same to this new phone be4 he comes back from jail,lol yes jail.the phone is an htc inspire 4g

  459. Ok its me again from yesterday. After a day at work, my phone would periodically tell me sim card detected please reboot and it would reboot and say it again like an hour later. so far my only issue. I never had this issue before installing Android

  462. I have a comment: I have my android up there two days and I have to put some apps. but now he says that he is 144 mb of the 150 used on the device (not on the SD card) and that is too much for it to get even more apps that are not on the sd card can. Is there a way in the memory of the phone to look? Or does anyone know why my htc hd2 with android so full
    happy to answer.
    Grtz.
    Duchman

  464. First of all thx for the tutorial.

    I had several problems with the bootloader after installing the MAGLDR Bootloader.
    The menu didn’t want to appear.

    If you have the same problem, try to remove the battery and wait for 5 minutes. Then insert the battery again and boot the device.

    For me, this worked fine and now i’m happy the ice cream sandwich is working on my HTC Leo.

  466. HELLO,

    I FOLLOWED YOUR INSTALLATION, ALL KIND OF THINGS WENT WRONG, BUT I DID IT ON MY OLD HD2 , I INSTALLED ICECREME IN DUTCH AND IT WORKS …….AND WORKS AND………I BROWSED TO DAYS ON THE INTERNET AND YOUR SITE IS SO GOOD.. THAT I COULD MAKE IT WORK !!! THX

    OPAKIPIE

  468. Dear jayce

    I’m looking for a time app which shows even the seconds, and can be shown on the top right corner.
    Right now, the in-built clock only shows hour and minutes.

    Do you know of such time app??

    Cheers

  469. Hey Jayce!

    I’ve done everything what’s been written. Right now I’m stuck where the colorful tiles are flipping over…their in movement, it’s not frozen but as of now I’ve been waiting around 15 minutes. Tiles are still flippin…I see the video where it has been ‘fast fowarded’ but for how long?

    Also, I’ve tried download the ‘NexusHD2 Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Beta10 NAND ROM for HTC HD2’. Everything went fine but I ended up with a black screen and a HTC logo (Right before the colorful tiles start popping. (At the 1:43 mark, that’s where I’m stuck)

      • Well…I downloaded the 150MB Partition if that is what you’re talking about; ‘CWM Layout size’.

        For some reason, when I tried installing 200MB Partition and not run it as administrator WinRar. It gives me an error:

        ‘An error has occurred
        Read below for more information

        Error Description: USB init failed
        Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (736)

        Error Description: EnterBootloader missing
        Info: .\RSPL\BootLoader.cpp (176)’

        When I run it as administrator. It gives me:

        ‘Readme.txt for this release is missing’

        and by clicking next it says:

        ‘An error has occurred
        Read below for more information

        Error Description: Config load failed.
        Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (725)

        Error Description: CONFIG: can’t open config file
        Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (304)’

        I assume you came across people with this issue?

    First of all i thank you for making this amazing guide, I am very happy with ice cream sandwich running on my htc hd2.

    However I was wondering if there was an option to increase my memory (not the ram). I only downloaded 3 apps of which I put 2 on my sdcard of 16gb. Unfortunately i cannot download any other apps as I do not have enough space free. Is there a way to increase this space or run more apps on my sdcard?

    Kind regards,

      • Okay…

        it said that we have to to use 165MB CWM partition layout size for V1.4…

  549. Hello,

    I found your tutorial for installing Android on HTC HD2, but I didn’t succeed with the installation.

    After rebooting the phone I get stuck with that image that never ends flickering (like in the video starting with 1:48).

    How long I have to wait? More than 1-2 hours?

    I saw on the phone there were installed those 2 softwares:

    DFT MAGLDR Bootloader v1.13
    ClockworkMod Recovery (but a newer version 3…)

    Is not my phone, I am trying to help my friend but it seems I am doing something wrong.

    Maybe you can help me.

    Thanks.
