Hello all,
I am Kushal, and I own an HTC HD2. I want to switch over to Android but don't know how to go forward with it. Its been very long and I still not able to figure out in which way I should head and change my Phone's O.S.
Hope to get some answers soon and hope my queries get resolved ...
Thanks People ...
I may be mistaken but isn't the HTC HD2 an Android phone? No need to switch over to Android...
Not really. The Australian HTC HD2 came with Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro and not Android....

I have an HTC touch one of the originals. 128MB ram. This phone is from alltel before they were bought. Anyways I have a few questions. First is, is there an android software to replace the windows mobile software? If not, is there something I can or some sort of OS to replace the windows mobile? Third, is there anyway that I can download windows mobile software if the new software is not to my liking? I know I am asking alot, but i am new to "cracking" a phone if you will and I am trying to learn. I am trying to rid my life of windows as much as possible. Any help is much appreciated. I thank anyone that can and is willing to help.
Welcome aboard,
I don´t think it´s possible to install Android, but you can upgrade your WM version to the newest 6.5 or 6.5.1 and install many apps.
Instructions here:

Also you can visit marketplace section and perhaps do a trade for an Android device.
Good luck,
Hi Guys,
This is my first post.... I am firstly thankful to xda team for all their efforts and also to everyone who are working to fine tune WM6 and Android. When will MS learn all this? Damn Windows....(Hope MS is listening)......
Anyway i/everyone am/are totally fed up with WM6... Hope the XDA team is launching Android or WM7 for HTC HD2 (aka LEO) soon... Any NEWS/updates guys????
In short; yes someone (as in a lot of people) is working on both. Welcome to the forums, and check the threads and search function. You will find that threads concerning your questions are quite high in their respective sub-forums. Try and read up before posting, it'll make the stay here quite pleasant. Some people here are tired of answering the same questions over and over, and it'll keep the forums tidy.
very possible but i believe the developers said around end of this year for the android/wp7 on HD2.cant wait......
Well,WP7 is just around the corner.
As for Android,I tried it before but wasn't satisfied because it is maybe interesting at first but later it becomes really boring(Anyway for me).
The HD2's hardware can easily handle WP7 and Microsoft needs to change its mind:just because the HD2 doesn't have a bing key(I think that the problem is about this hardware key.Correct me if I am wrong) this doesn't mean that it is not capable.
@ForceField
Its not just the searchbutton. There are several hardware issues against the "new" mobile concept of MS. Especially the missing sd-card support or better MS don't wan't you to have changeable memory on your device, that might interfere with their "MS marketplace only" app source. That means there has to be much more internal storage in the device itself - like on the iPhone or Palm Pre.
It's definitly easier to become Android on the HD2 since HTC is releasing the nearly similar (hardwarewise) HTC Evo on Sprint - I guess this a nobrainer for the xda-chefs to cook the needed things for that.
microsoft must give an upgrade for htc hd2 because the wm 6.5 is getting boring....some of us loved it but would be great to give a chance to port a wp7 to hd2.. the android operating system is very good too...they made such as good phone as htc hd2 but they gave it away...the next htcs phones doesnt have even sense anymore if i am not doing wrong...after hd2 with sense they throwed away the sense and android came up more famous like HTC Evo or desire..!!!its too bad for such a hi-tech phone to stay forgotten!this phone needs some love so microsoft must give love ;-p and a special gift finally... !!!but at all thanks to god that we have xda-chefs to give us some real dope stuffs to hd2 in nearby ''future''....
ps sorry for my english... ;-p

It is definitely NOT a nobrainer putting Android on the HD2... the EVO may help a little.... but it is not the same hardware as the HD2. The nexus1 is closer hardware-wise to the HD2. They are using the nexus kernel as a starting point for the kernel they've been already working on for months. But they still have alot of work ahead of them. It is not the same as cooking a new rom. They have to port a working linux kernel.
Help......
God.... i am suffering with ORD... please help.
Hey R U Guys Going To Make Android For HTC Hd7
And If Yes Than Can U Plz Tell Me When R U Going To Release It
ThnxX
And Can Someone Tell Me How To Sim Unlock HTC hD7
I Really Need Help For My HD7 Because Wm7 Sucks And i Dont Like It
I Hope U Guys Will Make Android for htc hd7 Soon
Why R U Writing Like This It Makes It Really Hard To Read
And Does Not Look Cool At All
seriously.
There probably won't be an android ROM for the HD7 soon, because it is basicly the same as the HD2.
If you wanted to have an android device anytime soon i suggest getting the HD2.
The only way to unlock it at the moment would be to either contact your carrier or use a website that sells unlock codes. There is no tool for this yet.
Are you guys going to make the android for htc hd7 in future..?

I took a look at the hd7 forums on xda and so far it doesn't look like it.
The consens seems so far to buy a HD2 if one would have wanted a HD7 with android.
You could try other forums, i.e. android central? maybe they are trying something.
Why dont you guys try to make android for htc hd7
This is a great site and the developers are extremely talented
Many people want android in their htc hd7
And i am sure that they are ready to pay or donate some money to have android in their htc hd7
You can't force people to make a ROM.
You could start a thread and collect money offers from people and see how much are actually willing to offer money for it. Maybe enough comes up that someone is willing to do it.
This has already been done for other devices.
I'll quite happily swap devices with you if you want android and an HD2
Seems like a fair deal
Hi I recently got my first smartphone today which is the HTC ultimate. It's OS is the windows phone OS 7.5. I did some research and I think its like the Brazilian version of HTC or something. Anyways I have been looking through the internet for some way for me to jailbreak/root it. Currently the apps on the marketplace kind of suck. I also wanted to add some emulators, for when I get bored. I have searched this forum and I can't seem to find it anywhere. If anybody could show me a program that can help me jailbreak/root or even just show me a website that can help me get started that would be great. Any form of help is greatly appreciated.

did you spend ANY time to search on the forum before you posted? IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
technology not compatible, despise it is near the same devices are unique to run windows or android, you should be able to sell your w phone and get an android version
also keep in mind that you might not be happy with the android version. if used to windows phone you will find the higher battery drain under android quite disturbing.

The best bet is to exchange with someone who needs Windows phone but holding an android phone.
windows
It may be worth waiting. Windows 10 may allow you to install android apps

Woot !!!
Hello guys,
Seriously, I'm currenlty struggling to get one, as they're only availabel in the U.S. and nobody wants to ship to my location...
If you really have one of these and want Android, then please make things simple for everybody : contact me to sell yours and get an Android model !
On the other hand, i agree it would be fun to be able to run an SD Android ROM like we did on the HD2, but if you're looking for a NAND ROM, justs swap for a regular M8 that's available everywhere !
P.S. : I'm serious about wanting to buy an M8 for Windows... AT&T unlocked, as we're using only SIM cards here. Thanks ! ^^
Isn't there any swap section on this forum, btw ?
As a FYI to anyone that happens to be messing around in this space: I've intentionally bricked my (Win) M8 into QDLoader 9008 mode, but haven't gotten much further as the device doesn't appear to fully implement Qualcomm's Sahara protocol, or at least implements it differently than any examples for other devices that I've found - it will do the hello handshake and a mode switch but returns some sort of error after that. I'm out of relevant docs and examples on Sahara and firehose though, so I'm pretty much done unless I decide and manage to hook up JTAG.
There was a poster in another thread who said they were able to install android this way, but then never reported back with their "tutorial". As such, they may very well have been lying, but unless someone who understands the M8's Sahara support chimes in, it's still a possibility. Not trying to get anyone's hopes up though, as I'd say it's still unlikely given the lack of dev effort for this phone.
any updates?
Anybody hear about any update on this topic? My friend and I are willing to work on a project to see if we can make it possible. We just need to know where to start. As of now, I have the HTC M8 unlocked to sideloads apps and what not. Anything helps. Being negative never gets you anywhere. Being positive opens new doors. Thanks for your time.
Developers! can you convert windows htc m8 to android?
Hello Developrs!
My friend has a shop of mobile phones and he has a stock of HTC one m8 for windows phones. He wants to let it convert into android. Please let me know if any of you can do this. i will pay you for this.
Thanks

I have HTC one M8 (windows 10 version) at&t unlocked
if you are serious, please contact me on my email [email protected]
we'll keep in touch
Thanks for the offer, but I've bought a Lumia 950 now.
BTW, your email address seems to have been "anonymoused" ! ^^

Checking in for any updates. I got handed this phone in an insurance upgrade.
Hi, I can't find the other 3d about the porting, but today I was thinking about the mi4.
If you remember, the MI4 LTE can switch between windows mobile and android... maybe if we study the tools and the code behind that device we might modify/create a tool or (maybe) at least find something interesting that we can apply to our htc one m8.
I'm not a dev and my english is very bad, but I wanted to share with to all of you my thoughts.
