What radio version are you using? Make sure is 2.08 and above

Can you be more detailed on your issue ? What do you mean " didn't do any other thing". I have mentioned in my post # 1 the steps. There are few important details you should do before you start:

1. Your HD2 need to be HSPL
2. Format SD card using the tool I recommend
3. Radio version above 2.08 - make sure you install correct version ( if you have done it ) as I don't know whether yours is 0.50 or 0.51 ?

If you have done the above , after you run clrcad.exe and haret.exe - what did you see ? At which part you see black screen ( this problem usually due to wrong radio)

Added on November 4, 2010, 12:13 pmWhat I usually use to do is I create another folder on my SD card to keep the other android builds. And for these android builds that I do not wish to use, I rename the folder to Android_bangster, Android-Froysense etc etc. The folder which you need to run the android must always be named " android". But I have stop doing such as I now only keep one build on the card

Added on November 4, 2010, 12:24 pmSome rom developers allow you to do it. It will be mentioned in their specifications if this is allowed. In the Android folder, open startup.txt file - check whether you have an entry showing the data.img size - if so just change the value. Actually what you want to do is of not much purpose cos you just want to save 512MB ?? Actually 1 GB is a good size to work with. Since you like to keep many build on card, it would be better to get a bigger size card

As long as it is above 2.08 will do

The windows rom remain intact in your phone memory while the android rom is installed on sd card. Please refer to the xda link I have listed in post 1 to understand more about how android works in the hd2

The fact you have android shows the previous owner hd hspl it. so you can proceed to change the windows Rom of your liking.

Did you install android sdk. Google for it and download it and install on computer

Added on November 12, 2010, 11:50 amOnce your phone is hspl , no more warranty. You can restore back to original rom by flashing from sd card and the hspl will be removed. All these steps are at forum xda hd2 rom development. The link is in post 1 here.

If you restore official rom, you have to redo hspl3 to flash new windows rom and android roms.

No. And please refer post 1 this thread, thevrequirements and steps listed clearly

For Msia telcos, I noted if you have a choice use rmnet version instead of ppp versions. Make sure under setting/wireless network / mobile networks You have enabled data.

Download BEAUTIFUL WIDGETS - I'd say is the best weather/time widget so far I have used

Added on November 15, 2010, 7:56 pmDid you format the SD card following my guide in post 1. Normally such issues due to SD card not properly formatted ( dont use windows normal format). You need to format only ONCE

Please refer post 1 of this thread for the guide

I did for a forumer here for a cup of coffee at Starbucks ! These guys are opportunistic. It is not difficult - read through the guide I have posted. Any queries post here or PM me

Warranty is void cos to run Android , you need to HSPL your phone.
You can still run Windows as the Android is on the SD card. You need not remove the SD card . When you are booted into windows, just dont select the Android shortcut on the homescreen

If you are buying your unit from any authorised HTC reseller, they will not officially entertain you on Android issues as it is not right and legally wrong for them to do it. The HD2 is meant to run Windows 6.5 NOT Android. Any help they give you is considered unofficial help.

If you want to claim warranty, you have to remove the HSPL - it is a very easy process :
Guide at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477

To Remove HardSPL from your Device or Flash back a Stock Rom and Stock SPL for Warranty Purposes

You can remove the HSPL by flashing an original SPL from microSD card OR by running the HSPL3 application (You need select 2.08.0000 in the choose screen).
* You can also use the microSD Card method to flash back your Stock Rom and Stock SPL that you originally had on your phone*

- Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash

Some answers :

Screenshot app : Shootme

Latest Android is Froyo 2.2 - plenty varieties you can installed

Maxis3g/HSDPA : Same settings

Astro File Manager access ONLY android files in SD card . The android O/S works independently from Windows Mobile. You just need Windows Mobile to boot into it

Added on November 26, 2010, 10:30 pmFor those interested in the HTC Desire HD ( 4.3" equivalent of HD2 but on Android with latest htc sense UI ) - the launch yesterday at KL indicate retail price is RM 2299 and Digi will be the fierst telco offering it. Expect availability earliest by mid Dec , latest end Dec

Those who have tried the Desire HD roms on the HD2 would have realized the new HTC Sense is a vast improvement with many new added features. However none of the rom cooks is able to get the camera functional ( a pity ) till now

Changing Android rom on HD2 is very fast. Why don't you just tried it - you will have better answers to your queries. If you are unhappy just delete the Android folder and replace it back with the previous copy

Infact I'd say, go over to the XDA site where this rom is and you can read all the users experiences and installation requirements

Android runs from the SD card. It cannot be executed from phone internal memory

Your official Windows rom is intact. The Android rom will not affect it in any way. You can always backup your Windows rom with either Sprite Backup or Sdp Backup. I prefer Sprite though.

Added on December 3, 2010, 6:12 pmAll the Android roms are listed in this thread. Just browse and read and select the one you want to try

Different people have different needs on their roms. So cannot say which is best . I'd said most of the roms are stable, reliable ( except for the newer ones based on desire HD ).If you want a cleaner leaner rom , try those based on the Nexus. Changing roms is freaking easy. Just replace the Android folder on card.

Papago X5 works perfect so far on all the roms I have tested on the HD2

You can recover all your installed apps and its related data using Titanium Backup ( just do not select the red colored files ). If you wish to recover your SMS/email - select only the appropriate red colored data files. Restore of data takes few minutes only

Some roms if minor upgrades will restore your data automatically after installed

Some roms especially those based on Google Nexus will also automatically restore all your data even on a major rom upgrade ( whether is same cook or even different cooks ).

You can also use MyBackupPro which offers selective restoration - that is you choose which apps/data you wish to restore

Install GPS status & tools to improve GPS quicker lockup n accuracy . It is a freeware. Download from market
