How to Install Android on HTC HD2? There are several type of Android for HTC HD2 like SD card Android, NAND Android in MAGLDR format, CWM format and cLK format. CWM NAND Android ROM is the most common ROM for HTC HD2. And I prefer it because I can use Nandroid to make backup and restore. There are several components needed to be installed before you can use NAND Android. But it is not hard to install them when you can follow my step by step video guides.

Prerequisites

  • SPL-2.08.HSPL
  • Radio that support 576 MB RAM
  • DFT MAGLDR Bootloader v1.13
  • ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3
  • EXT3 partition on SD card

Do take your time to study these guides. Then install them one by one. You need all these components in order to use CWM NAND Android with A2SD+ support.

Step by Step Guide

  1. First of all, copy the Android 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 (TyphooN_CM7_v3.5.4-MAGLDR.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 OS will be loaded then.
  18. That’s all.

Note – Android OS first time boot up may take 10 to 20 minutes (but no longer than 30 minutes).

Just follow above steps again to install new Android ROM that you like. Here are some Android ROMs that you try – Top Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread NAND Android ROM for HTC HD2.

  2. Well, I currently have a DAF android ROM. I have the stock leo nand android. But my phone is hopeless now as its hangs non-stop that’s why i want to switch to a more stable rom. What do you suggest I do? Thanks for the help.

      • After I use the SD card for installation(as the android zip file must be in the SD card), will I still need it after the installation? Coz I lost my SD card and I will just borrow from someone only to install.

  4. Hi,

    I’m new to this but I want to install Android on My HD2. I already did this once, but every time I shut down the phone, I had to install all over again. Why and is there a better way?
    Thanks

  18. hi
    i cant boot loader my phone . i did ur stracture . but dont this . plz help me . i give power on bute my phon run ur os.
    thank u

  19. Hi Jayce,

    I’ve managed to solve partialy the problem. I have installed typhoonN-CM7_v3.5.4 instead of NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.9_NAND_(Android-2.3.5).
    And it worked.
    The Android Logo appears, asks me if I want to set up a google account and it goes to the main screen.

    But then it freezes. I’ve disconnect the batery, it goes to the main menu again and after 10-15 seconds it freezes again.

    And also doesn’t charges while connect to the PC or the main power.

    I’ve tried several times and it always freezes after a short time. Why?

    Regards,

    Nuno

      • From the few seconds that I can work with the phone, if I turn on the camera it says that I have to put an SD Card on. But it’s there. 8GB with 1024mb to android.

        Does this info gives you an idea of what it maybe?

        Regards,

        Nuno

          • Hi Jayce,

            thanks for the reply.
            Yes, within the 15 secs that I can use the phone, I managed to open the SD Card Folder with the File explorer, and the docs and folders are there.

            Should the SD Card folder be empty with only thesetup android files? And whats the name of the Ext3 folder?

            I’m having the same problem that Jinkim had and he fix it.

              • Hi Jayce,

                I’ve already installed everything again
                HSPL4
                Custom radio
                MAGDLR
                Clockwork
                EXT3
                and…
                TyphooN_CM7_v3.5.4-MAGLDR

                Still the same. freezes after 10 or 15 secs.
                in the SD CARD apears:
                Folder – android secur
                Folder – android
                folder – lost.dir
                typhooN_CM7_v3.5.4

                but no sd-ext

                And I’ve installed EXT3 with 2048MB.

                I have a Sandisk 8GB micro SD. I’ve have formated it and copy the typhooN zip file into it.

                thanks

                  • Hi Jayce,

                    I’ve managed to install MIUI Rom and it works.
                    Doesn’t freeze, but althougt I can read the SD Card, the camera when it’s on movie doesn’t recognize the SD Card, says it’s not installed.
                    And also says that the phone storage is low, but i have installed the Ext3 file with 1024MB space.
                    And i’m having lots of messages saying that “the application browser (processcom.android.browser)has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

                    and also several diferent applications also stoped. Could it be from the “lack” of SD Card, but it’s there,

                    Regards,

                    nuno

                    • Sorry, I have no idea on your SD card issue. I did not face it before.
                      As for the application closed by itself issue, this is caused by bad installation. Or maybe lack of SD card in your case.

                      Try to reinstall Android ROM again see.

                    • Hi Jayce.

                      I Did it!!!

                      I found out what i did wrong. Instead of installing 150MB Rom, i’ve installed 400MB Rom (bigger is better….). I’ve reinstalled everything and the MIUI Rom works fine, SD card, everything. But I didn’t managed to be able to work with Typhoon. It’s OK.

                      One final question: what’s the best way to synch Outlook contacts with Android?

                      Thanks for everything.

                      Nuno

    • i have same prob with my usb charger, cant charge with pc/cant look at sd card thro usb connection, and cant flash roms with the usb????? wat should i do, they were just working fine a week ago?

  20. Hello,

    Your videos are great but, i got a problem…
    How long did you wait for the phone to start after you installed TyphooN_CM7_v3.5.4?
    Because mine is frozen withe the white little “monster” and the text below it that says “android”.

    Plz help!!

  25. Hi, Jayce,

    would like to have your advise. After installation, everything go fine except I only get 7.25 mb internal memory, and the SD Card size reduced to 4 Gb, after I partitioned it with SWM for a ext 3 partitition. Can you help, please.

    Best regards,

    Ralph

  26. Hi…i installed the latest CyanogenMod. bt, im having problem with the fm radio. it requires me to on my bluetooth to listen to the radio.plus, the quality is not good. this is totally diff with my previous FM radio built in. is ter any else fm radio tat can be installed that doesnt require bluetooth and better quality? thanks…

  27. hey jayce
    what about htc sense???
    i have a huge bulk of contacts n messages and i want them in my android to. any easy way 2 bring in msgs n contacts????

  28. @Nuno: Sorry, I did not sync Outlook with Android. I use Google Account instead. As far as I know, HTC Sense Android is better on syncing with Outlook compare to CM7 and MIUI builds.

    • Hi Jayce,
      It’s me again. I’ve been using the MUIU rom for a couple of weeks, and now it crashes once and a while. Looses the signal and freezes. If I try to install another ROM will I lose all the applications that I have installed so far?
      And do you have any ideia why Co piloto or Sygic can’t find GPS signal? But some other apps like compass it can.

      Thanks

    • Hi taufik,

      I also installed the MIUI rom on my HTC HD2. But mine crashes once in a while, and I need to remove the battery. Does yours do the same?

      thanks

      nuno

  41. never mind about my first post, i got it!!! (the one at sep 3, 2011 11:07 pm)
    now i have another issue: when i get into magldr, and then i go to # 8 : ad recovery for clockwork mod, the screen stays/freezes on 123456
    go go go, it doesnt load into clockwork mod recovery?? then i take out battery to reboot,
    what should i do?????

  44. ok nvm bout all that, iam sorry to bother you, but when one more issue: i installed typhoon cyanogenmod 3.6.2 (new one,i used to have v. 3.5.8) with clockworkmod recovery, i got to the part where i wiped the cache, and did hard reset, but when it rebooted, it got stuck in that page that loads: 123456, go go go, it said in red letters: nand open kernel fail and it brought me to the magldr page again, wat do i pick?

  47. anything about partioning the sd card??? or do i already have it on my phone?? bcuz currently i have typhoon cyanogen mod 3.5.8, and i wanna upgrade, as i told u i did all ur steps u showed in video until i came to booting up where it says 123456 go go go,a nd it says nans=d kernel fail or somethin? what can i do?

  48. yes i went through evrything, step thro step!!!! and i ended up at ur step #16-17 that u describe, i told u b4 in the top post, that i have the message in red letter when it loads (123456 go go go): nand open kernel fail!! so it brings me back to the magldr page, which #or option do i choose for this????

    or do i need to wipe the sd, and reinstall the typhoon cyanogenmod 3.6.2? or do i need to re-install the android 2.3.5 rom all from the beginning? which one ?

    • I don’t think that you are using the same components and versions as mine in the video. Please do so. Else it is hard for me to help you if you are not using the same things as mine.

  55. Please help Jayce. I have done everything but cannot copy Android ROM to SD card. I tried to use MassStg in MAGLDR, but it doesn’t copy completely and gives error message. What should i do?

  56. I’ve got a problem, I can’t copy the android zipfile to the sd card because the computer doesn’t see it, and I don’t know how MassStg in MAGLDR works… any suggestions??

  57. Thanks!! I’ve install MIUI and it works great.
    I’ve just one problem, sometimes the hd2 freezes, reboot automatically and then the white screen with ‘HTC’ in green appears, buzzer 3 times and then I’ve to take out the battery, wait a few seconds, and then I can put the battery in and move on.
    I really don’t know how but it’s weard:S

    • Hello,

      I have them same problem with MIUI in HD2. It works fine for a while and then it freezes, goes back to the install menu “123456 Go Go Go”, shows the MIUI Logo and waves and it starts.

      what can it be?

      Nuno

  61. hi jayce, i have installed typhoon CM7 android 2.3.5 on my htc hd2 by your method but now i want https://www.jayceooi.com/2010/12/31/how-to-install-nand-android-on-htc-hd2/#comments this version of android. What should i do now?

    and which sync software will sync my phone now? HTC Sync doesnt detect my phone.

    and also i want to know- does changing android versions on my phone utilize more phone memory??

    please answer my three questions .
    i will be very thankful to you.

    • Just skip those part which were installed. Then install the Android ROM.

      Only HTC Sense ROM can work with HTC Sync software. CM7 and MIUI builds cannot.

      CWM ROM internal storage space is depended on the CWM partition layout that you installed.

  62. Hi Jayce,
    I followed every single steps you showed here and successfully installed Typhoon CM7 on my HTC HD2. Instructions were very clear and videos were very helpful. Thank you for all those hard work.

    I have few questions…. if I want to install different NAND Android ROM (SENSE3.0 PYRAMID BASED V6.0) [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185087 ], where would I start?

    Can I still use ROM zip on SD card and ClockworkMod Recovery mode to install? Instructions on the XDA forum is not clear… It uses different format and tool.

    Greatly appreciate if you can show steps to install Pyramid ROM.

  63. Hi Jayce, and thanks heaps!
    I’ve installed TyphooN_CM7_v3.6.3_MAGLDR.zip as per your instructions. Worked brilliantly.
    BUT, when I do a CWM backup, followed by a CWM restore, I get open kernel fail. If I just restore /boot I get the same error. The only way I can recover is to re-install NAND from the same zip.
    I’ve tried CWM 3.0.0.5, CWM 3.0.2.5 and CWM 3.1.0.0 all with the same results.
    I’ve checked the boot source in MAGLDR and it looks sensible.
    Any ideas?

      • Thanks mate. The restore is working well (the system is back to the point of backup after I make random changes then restore) but I cannot boot into AD NAND until I re-install the original .zip. After that everything is very fine indeed. So that’s reasonably usable I guess.

  65. hallo Jace.. i succesfully installes nand android but the everything is on a small scale.. is there a way the make it bigger (resolution or something?) .. many thanks

  77. Hi Jayce,

    Can you please upload instructions on how to do a hack on the HTC HD2 (which has Android 2.2 on it) to make apps get saved on to the SD card by default?

    The internal memory is rubbish and some apps that can be moved to SD get saved by default on to the phone at first when you are downloading. But the problem is I can’t download even a small app without having to delete an essential app like Whatsapp.

  78. 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)

  81. Hello Jayce,

    I’ve did all the thinks said above. And the ROMS of your top ten are working. I tryed them but i personally don;t like them. Now i wanted a drifferent kind of ROM on my HD2 but that doesn’t work. I went to wipe partition/ cache etc. and then installed it through ad recovery -> choose zip. It says it completed the installation succesfully but after reboot it freezes on the homescreen of the ROM… I tryed to install core droid latest version (from there website). And Rafdroid latest version (from xda developers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528)
    How can i get this working? Maybe its a really stupid question but i cant find my answer on the internet!

    Hope you can help me! 🙂

  83. Hoi Jayce, what can i do if the android .zip extract but wil not start after instellation?.
    I only see the android figur

NEED HELP PLEASE I have been trying to install a clockwork mod Rom on my HD2 I installed clockwork mod wiped all the data I transferred the Rom to my SD card went back to install from SD card then it says Aborted every time I select the Rom in clockwork mod it never installs. I followed your video to a tee. Its probably a small step I’m missing. Thanks

  85. Hi , i did all the steps you mentioned , and i’m trying to put zip to sd card with masstrg. and when i’m copying it gives me an error smth. like where is no more file with this name .. i have a feeling that pc can’t see sd card at the middle of this process , i don’t have a card reader maybe with this won’t see any problems ? pls help me

  87. YEAHHH ! , it worked , thank you man , i’d put you a beer if you leave here 😀 , and last question which android should i put ? ’cause i’m doing this for the 1st time before that a had only windows.. i’ve copied 2.3.7. typhoon , is it good ?

  89. nice, greetings from Moldova ( eastern Europe ) ;)…. if battery level is about 20-30 % this booting isn’t in a risk for system and for the phone , ’cause i’m waiting and i see only this android robot ))

    • It should take only 10-20 minutes on CM7 ROM installation. You do all the prerequisites installed, right?
      Turn off your phone, then wipe data and cache in CWM. Reinstall Android ROM again. And plug in power this time.

  92. Im right now using android 2.3.1, but I find it very byggy. Sometimes my phone crashes and I get error’s. Now im going to install this new android. I will post here again if I install this correctly.

    Btw.. my windows device center wont work.. sadly, that’s why im using windows XP to install all the programs.

  94. Jayce hi , i just want to ask you what additional stuff (soft) do i need after that to make all this easier , for example activesync is not running anymore i thought maybe ;cause it’s not windows mobile anymore or why .. and what suggestions can u give me , thank you again )

    • Oh, Android does not talk to Windows well. Unless you are using HTC Android ROM which has HTC Sync that talk to Outlook. Or using 3rd party sync apps.

      Android syncs with Google Account. 😉

  99. I’m gonna switch rom WP 7.5 to this , which things don’t I need to install and will all the files overwrite my Wp 7.5 files or do i need to do something else ?

  100. Dear jayce,
    last question before i start,
    Do i get the same SD problem with android like the thing you get with your sd card when youve installed WP 7?

  101. I did all the steps one by one, I selected 150mb size and made 1024 mb partition put the Desire_S_sense3.5_Android.2.3.4_v1.1_EU on the sd card everything worked fine all the way but when finnished installing it frezes at the HTC logo what to do?
    Tried to get back in to magldr but not possible

  103. You posted it in august, but no worries I tried again as you said from scratch with new image and works perfectly 🙂

    Thank you for great work I really apreciate it 🙂

  104. привет Jayce.у миня уже есть НАНД АНДРОИД 2,2.скажы как я могу установить CWM NAND Android на HTC HД2?
    извини за мой английский

      • Skip those components that you already have like SPL-2.08.HSPL and radio 2.15. Install MAGLDR v1.13 if you are using the old version. Then continue install other components and follow the guide to install Android ROM.

  105. Jayce, videos and instructions were pefect. I now have my HTC HD2 running Android and working perfectly 🙂 Thank you. I don’t kow why I stuck with WinMob 6.5 for so long!

  109. Hi there,

    I have the NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.1a_NAND_(Android-2.3.6) on my HTC HD2 and I downloaded the TyphooN_CM7_v3.6.8-MAGLDR ROM so I installed it following your video tutorial (thank you) but there was a slight problem, everything went well up until the moment when the phone boot up which it stayed on the android figure for ever, i have waited maybe 20+ minutes for it to load/boot but there was nothing. I re-flash twice but still nothing was happening, it kept locking at the boot up android figure screen. Do you have any ideas why or any other suggestions? Please if you could help that would be most appreciated. I have followed your video tutorial to the exact word.

    Thanks

  114. I need the help, I did every step exactly as described but when I go to choose a zip file with sdčartice there’s nothing I can not choose to run android says no file found me what I am doing wrong please help I have repeated this process several times and constantly the same

  117. Hi Jayce; I boldly tried to convert to android from my HTC HD2; I got past the clockworkmode recovery download. After re-booting, I got to the “Boot Menu” where I chose #8 (AD Recovery). I then got a message in the upper left hand corner saying “no boot soruces.” Where did I go wrong?

  118. Hi again Jayce; I did get everything installed, however when I re-boot I get a message in red saying “NAND Kernel open failed,” and the Boot Menu comes back up. Should I continue with the next step?

      • Hi Jayce, hopefully this is the last time I bother you. But, I back tracked and found out that when I select “choose zip from sdcard” I got a “no file found.” What “zip” file is it referring to, where do I get this zip file, and how do I get it on the sdcard?

          • Mr. Jayce; I know that it is very annoying to have to answer the same questions over and over and over again. I apologize. If you can point me in the right direction as to how I can get back to my Windows 6.5 OS, I would be very appreciative. Thanks again.

  121. First of all, millions of thanks 2 u.

    Because of your extremely clear instructions I’ve managed to install android on my HTC HD2.

    Im using TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 v2.1.3 NAND Android and i have installed it by following all the steps on your website.

    Since im getting a new phone soon, I want to upgrade the Cyanogenmod ROM to a newer version (i saw it on xda forum) before i give my HTC to my bro. So, I don’t need to keep the contacts/apps/data.

    Which step do i begin? and which step should i skip?

    Thanks

  122. Finally, per instruction of step by step, i managed to change my HTC HD2 to run on Android 2.3.7, the performance is much better than the original OS. Only the setback is i can find any chinese language can be used in the sms and email.
    Appreciated if you can guide me further how to activicate the chinese language (Pinyin) to be used in sms and email.
    Thanks a lot.

    i am having problem on my HTC HD Mini. After pressed the call bottom to make outgoing call or Press “Call” bottom to receive incoming call. the handphone screen will turn to black and all the 8 keys including the volume up and down be no response at all, but the incoming and outgoing call is still working.

    The LCD Screen will restore back to normal with responsive bottoms immediately after the call finished. The current handphone is using window mobile 6.5, thus i am having the following query:

    1. Anyway to turn off the proximity sensor to stop the light turn black (off) ? this to be applied for Windows mobile 6.5 and android.

    2. If i want to convert HTC HD Mini from WM 6.5 to Android, any version, link, procedure and download firmware website for me to follow step by step ? pls assist to provide. I prefer to use Android and currently can run Android on SD card (android 26.08.2011 R169.rar) but battery consumption is very fast, and the back plastic cover is always hot, believe due to running wm 6.5 and android at same time,

    Pls assist.

  144. Hi, one question: if its possible to install android on “HTC HD 2” without “Windows 6.xx” installed before? I mean if you have only the bootloader by starting the phone? As i try to copy the nbh file to sd card, the HTC HD 2 gives to vibrations and i’ve lost the Vodafone Windows from before. Now if i start the phone only the three colors is possible. Otherwise i’ve seen the HTC white screen but nothing happens. May be you can give me a short hint what i can trx to do? Thanks! (Sorry for my english, is it not the best!) Kindly regards Thomas

  148. A little of topic but dont know who else to ask.
    Changed battery to a 2400mah and it stops charging at 1230 the original maks then current goesa to 30mah when charging. Is there a file I can modify to get it to chare to full 2400mah?

  149. So basically i tried to flash android this was my first time doing any of this & it stuffed up badly now all my phone does is boot up into the white htc logo screen & won’t get past there. It use to have 3 sets of numbers on the side but now it doesn’t. I tried to go into the recovery boot loader screen. I use to be able to get into it but it never did any thing. I took it to a phone shop & they said i had water damage I never put the phone near water what so ever but they said it because my friend pressed the red button on the back which tells you have water damage. If anyone could help i would be so appreciative the phone i have now seems to be a pile of crap compared to the HTC!
    Thanks in advance.

  150. Jayce, question please! what happens if I procede without having EXT 3 partition on my SD card.
    I mean all other components are installed just I don’t have EXT 3. Will rom be installed correctly or not?

    thanks in advance

  151. Hi Jayce,
    Can you (or anyone else) tell me is there any difference between android you install in video and android that is installed in factory (eg. HTC Desire)
    and wich version is better, CWM or DFT?
    Thank you

      • how you can put the zip file after doing the EXT3 partition? should I reformat the SD card or cause i can open the storage to copy the zip file.

        if you can explain more step by step.
        regards,

        • There should still be FAT32 partition left after you create EXT3 partition. Don’t use up all SD card storage for EXT3 partition. Put Android ROM zip in FAT32.

          • i am still unable to do this sometimes when i am making the ext3 partition the zip file will be deleted. i am installing Desire_S_sense3.5_Android.2.3.4_v1.1_EU.

            i think andriod should be started not only giving me htc starting screen.

            system partition MAGLDR 200/45
            1- Formatting the FAT32 SD Card and copy the zip file to SD Card.
            2- Go to &. AD Recovery
            3- Go to advanced
            4-Go to Partition SD Card and make 1024 partition. (what will happen here?)
            5- back to install zip file chose file and install.
            6- reboot ( is there any file should be along with zip file in SD card or after rebooting the files will be created?)
            if i missed any step kindly guide me

            regards,

  153. Hi, Jayce,

  156. I made a mistake. I’m not sure how big this problem is yet maybe you can help me out. I followed you instructions to the tee on the “How to Install CWM NAND Android on HTC HD2? (Video)” posting. My problem was one unfortunate oversight on my part I didn’t chose and install a version of Android OS on my SD as directed on the first/last tutorial. Every other step went perfectly, step for step my installation was the same as all the videos you provided. I didn’t want to do anymore damage as I am not sure what to do from here. To explain further I have completed the data wiping step, I then wiped the cache, and then I realized I missed something important. When I attempted to apply the OS update I was informed that no files found. What Can I do to fix this? Is there a way to add the OS now? Do I have to start over? What do I need to do? Any help you can provide would be most appreciated.

      • Thanks I’ve tried that. I can’t figure out whats wrong b/c its still not working. I’ve downloaded the CM7 android build. I’ve attempted to move the file to the Mass storage drive in aMAGLDR v1.13. my pc has prompted me with the following error message, “Cannot copy HyperDroid-CM7-Killer-Koala-v5.5.2-magldr-signed” I’ve also attempted to unzip the cm7 file and save to mass storage as well but that is not working either. Do you have any other suggestions. I’m running win XP sp3 and the 7zipap (to unzip files) Let me know what you think. Thanks

  158. Hi, Jayce,

Please help me! thank you very much!!!

I have removed the battery and kept aside the phone to try after some time. Any chance the contacts will still be there in the phone or any ways to get these contacts ??

Do I have to partition my phone’s internal memory again every time I want to install different rom and how can I check what partitions there are now (since I didn’t made them myself)?

    help//

    • Devon, please take your time to study it then. Newer Android ROM requires CWM to install. You should have HSPL4 (SPL-2.08.HSPL). Then continue to install those that you don’t have.

  276. Jay,
    Iv’e installed CWR with all the prerequisites you’ve said, but when I try to install my rom, A message appears that says,

    E:failed to /sdcard (No such file or directory)
    E:Can’t mount /sdcard

    Please Help!

  278. It’s still relevant and functional, thank you Jayce. I would just stress out that the SPL-2.08.HSPL is crucial, 3.x.x wouldn’t work with this instruction. Also, many ROM’s download links are dead by now (including yours). After 2 hours of trying to find one on XDA, I’ve found only this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65554360&postcount=678 (have it mirrored to my host as well for persistance, see the conversation further down). However I’m still looking for a ROM, supporting the HTC HD2’s FM Radio. If anyone have it, please share with me.
