[Q] Android for Htc Hd2

Hi everyone,
I have been a member here for a couple months, but haven't posted anything yet~ so I apologize in advance if this is the right forum to be asking this.
I have an Htc Hd2- and have to say I absolutely hate everything about it. I was debating on replacing the windows with Android~ and would like your thoughts on it- good, bad or indifferent. The only Android OS I know about is Froyo...so if there are others out there that work better with HD2- please let me know. I'm am not literate when it comes to this kinda stuff- so please write like you are writing an Adroid for Dummies book, lol
Thank ya much!

android 2.2 rox for the hd2 but i found only bad thing after fixing all the bugs the batt dies real fast its been running for 2 weeks with no problems but lame bat time

Thanks xXy3kXx ! Is there a download link here at XDA? I tried searching for it- but was getting some update thread with a warning on it.

yeah you will get that because i believe you have to basically root the phone and flash the 2.2 ROM on it, its basically like me rooting my MyTouch 3G and putting a CM6 ROM on it (same process with same risks)
correct me if im wrong XDA community im sleepy =.=

Hi CoNsPiRiSiZe,
Sorry ur tired:~( So how do I go about rooting, flashing & downloading, lol? I have tried to youtube it w/ videos' that offer links- and then there is no link...this is so frustrating:_/

its really not that complicated, go to this link and read it tell me if you get stuck
its all black ops fault! stupid all nighters :O

lol...ok- I'm sending u a PM:~)

Veneicia, has this worked for you? Does the phone work well with Android? I want to change to Android but I keep seeing these remarks that a new upgrade is/ will be available to eliminate a problem... I'm lost with all of these messages!
Let me know please!
Thanks!

Can you please elaborate what this means

So now that this device is official (Vitality), any chance to get some "root love"?

Well since metropcs and this phone is the same, most likely the root metro has will root it.

Rooting Huh?
Well after spending a second day trying to solve my problem I had superuser on my phone well someone elses phone, but something went wrong so I am throwing in the towel before I have to by someone a phone because this is how I got myself into this I tried to help someone get more business turns out the guy is a loser so I am stuck with having to give someone some free technical features, but rooting wont be one of them, I am going to figure some other ways to spice the phone of for them I just really don't have the time nor the patience with all the reading and materials and the drivers that won't run on my system some of this is a headache for people who are not that good with this sort of machinery.
And I have found that there are so many who say there good but when it comes down to it, I have had two bad experiences this is why I was trying to show some people some new ways to have there phones done, but I realize a few things I am not helping people out no more fu*k'em I got my phone done and complete and I am tired of helping others out and just about everyone who I went to meet up with in Philadelphia and this other guy who answers and gets back to you when he's ready this phone thing is a little much, like you guys say if you don't have the experience then leave it alone.
Because I have to return this phone to someone tomorrow but I thought I was bringing in some business for people but I know now some people just want to stay living at home with mother. So good luck watching Jerry all your life. Anyone
who has someone who can refer me to a real flasher or tech person no more people in the state of Pennsylvania all of them have been crooks. Sorry S. Bonner but you are hitting the #2 on the list. But anyway I need to get in touch with someone who will get paid as long as the job is done 100% and I am talking remote flashing nothing more and rooting. Remember if you live in the State of Pennsylvania don't bother me I want people who want to work.

[Q] I broke it!!! I think?

total noob and i need help.... here is my problem... I unlocked my new infuse and then rooted the phone. everything was fine fo several hours and all of the sudden it started vibrating and would reset with out turning all the way off. the android drop screen does not function. everytime you try to pull it down it starts the above issue. if a text comes thru it does it again. i did a factory reset and this didnt help. i still have superuser on the phone but cant seem to get phone to function it has power and works to an extent. you can tap apps and go thru most of the phone but it will reset and go back to main screen and vibrate and start process all over.... any ideas. i am a noob and not very technical, prob why my phone is f'ed up right now. using my samsung captivate for now. please help the new guy. i looked for threads with similar issues but found nothing with search bar. thanks ahead of time

I'm not familiar with unlocking...i do know if I'm not mistake you have to root first then unlock....but that should not effect your phone...but phones are so different....even though we all have the same model....
I would reload stock and re root....then re unlock....ate you runnning stock or custom rom?

Why yes glad you asked...check my signature...for the iset page....
You will find a **** ton of info....since your somewhat new...do a lil reading....ok ....do a lot...
Look for the one click methods by qkster....although the new odin links are great also....your choice....
And any questions the op for those threads can provide you with great help and you can pm me also...
And don't forget to thank the op dev that provided you with what you need...kk

In that case I like to suggest you to unbrick the cellphone (restore again to FROYO) and test the cellphone... If you do it, you will loose the root, however the unlock will remains
You can re-root the cellphone later... the issue could be also being caused by an app that you had installed
*** If your cellphone is from AT&T you can use the GTG's Ultimate Unbrick tool, to go back to FROYO
Remember that you must have ODIN to unbrick the cellphone..
Some helpfull links:
Complete Stock (FOR ROGERS USERS ONLY)
GTG's Ultimate Unbrick - Return to stock - For AT&T

thanks!!!
Thanks for the info bigjoe2675 & dantespec...well I feel real stupid now... I looked over all that info and its way above my head. is there anyone I can send my phone to that does this type of work and is trustworthy enough not to steal my phone? i have already trashed it once I dont want a $230 paper weight. I also have a Sprint galaxy s2 epic i would like to have flashed to verizon. i have no clue what I am doing and willing to pay to fix my two phones. mine and the ol ball and chains.

If you can not figure out how to go back to stock, then i know mobiletechvideos. They got my old infuse running again when the usb port got borked. If you need a link ask me, idk were the link is lol. Trust me though, it worked well. Only thing is it costs money. Better off to learn how to do it unless if hardware is actually broken, not software.
Btw you may want to learn how to unbrick and learn your basics before you attempt at doing something like this again. Just making a very logical suggestion.

For sure check out the Odin videos... I have a feeling that they are going to come in handy a few times..
Everyone has to start somewhere and we all had to learn, I was really overwhelmed when I first started looking into it, but then it was like "oh! That's it?"
Most people here are super helpful (I'm not... I'm a n00b) but don't be mailing your phones to someone you don't know or anything like that... you're begging for someone to rob ya..
Just take it slow and read, read, read... when you have read enough to have a handle on it.. read some more!

Awesome brother!
Welcome to the addiction!
It is so interesting to me what can be done with minor and major changes how simple things make HUGE differences.
Next thing you know, you will be grinding out apktool changes and making themes!

S3 att
if i gotta get insruance so be it just let me know

First off, this isn't the S3 forum. Second, yeah, you're almost certainly cooked if your bootloader's borked. Warranty the phone out and pay attention when you push buttons that can blow up your $500 paperweight.

S3 is not 500$ paperweight , we're taking something north of 600$

Moved on to another device... if the devs here need a sidekick donation let me know

(Sorry if this is the wrong forum, if it is please let me know and I will move it immediately.)
Hey guys, I recently upgraded to another phone. My sidekick won't turn on for some reason, but I figured if any of the devs want it for testing (if you can figure out how to turn it on) I'd be glad to send it over and I'll even pay for shipping (I was quite frustrated at the lack of support this phone got from both samsung and tmobile, it's just a few bucks so it doesn't matter to me if it'll help at all).
Again, I can't turn it on for some reason, but if any dev is interested let me know.

Yeah, things are slow on here. I have been searching non-stop to try and get going. I'm trying to work with kernels and learn my way around.
Meanwhile, how is the switch to the new device?
