Well not really, you just told him to forget the phone he's got and go out for another one that already has android.
If he didn't want the HD2 he wouldn't have bought it, not helpful.
Apologies to the original poster as I'm unable to help, treat this message as a bump.
So I flashed the 2.2 leak the other night, now I'm having issues with the market. I lost some paid apps (such as a5phalt, which I still have the files for, but no loader and it doesn't show up anywhere). also, I am not able to download paid apps, it just says "downloading" or "authorizing purchase" then "unsuccessful". Anybody have any suggestions??

This will happen everytime you flash to any unreleased firmware. Solutions are posted in Dev section of the forum.

I'm having serious slow download issues. Could you refer me to any solutions that may have worked for you. I tried everything I could find.

With a signature like that how do you expect to make friends who will help?
Anyway, several things can help with that market issue. First go to applications (touching menu button when on a home screen), select manage applications, scroll to the market app and click on clear data and clear cache. If this does not help, reboot into recovery and cleat cache there. As a last resort..do a factory data reset under privacy in the settings menu...do a backup prior to this as it will erase data and apps

One additional thing to check..open market, click on menu button, click on downloads and cancel anything that is trying to download before doing the above steps. Occasionally an app will hang at starting download causing problems

So...unfortunately I couldn't find any fix to my problem. cleared my data and cache to no avail. I certainly appreciate the help guys

Sigh. The fix for market problem is simple. You have to root your phone first. Then replace the build.properties file with the one from the released firmware and you're good to go. Basically, you need to trick the Market to think you're running any of the official release firmware (JF6 or JH7) in order to be able to see all the apps. There is a dedicated thread in dev section about it. Or you can just wait. If JI6 is finally released (hope not) by AT&T, your market problem will be automatically resolved because AT&T/Samsung will tell Google that this version of the firmware is legit and allow to use Market.

I've been asking for about 2 weeks. I mostly get ignored. When I did get answered it was along the lines of 'nobody else is having this problem so you're on your own'. If you Google the issue loads of people are having the problem with froyo. None of their solutions work for me. I guess not enough people HERE are having this issue to put more effort into it. I've sent a small donation to the dev who's ROM I was using and still didn't get attention. I'd like to send more but why if I don't get help? If there's no solution to my problem I'd rather someone say look there's no solution. I'm ready to flash back to 2.1 as I have more than one issue that seems to be well known among froyo users, but somehow nobody in the captivate forums experience them except for ME. Not blaming anybody for anything, I'm just telling my story. One person took some time out to try to help me out and I thank him for that but clearing data didn't work, and for some reason there my 'clear cache' button is always grayed out. I'll wait for the official release (not holding my breath though).

From what you say, many people have offered solutions. Maybe not personally, but others experienced the problem. Their solutions haven't worked for you. Someone looked into your problem, their solution didn't work. People tried, and failed. When you give a donation, its a donation. Not payment for tech support.
Getting ignored isn't "I hate that this kid is always asking this dumb question, I'm going to the next post." It's "I dunno wtf he's talking about, what else is on here before I go to work/school."
--Now if I was in your shoes, I would reflash back to stock, and master clear. I'm a noob with Android, so I can't offer you much else. Sorry.
Download SGS Tools from the market (you should be able to see it), run the 2.1/2.2 Market Fix and you should be good to go

If anything we learnt from these forums is that you never say never. So if I have nothing to offer to you, I'll let others who may have the solution to post. It's not ignoring. It's the common sense.
If you post something and get ignored, it can only be one of the following:
1. Nobody encountered the problem you have (rarely).
2. Nobody knows the solution to your problem.
3. Your question has been asked million times already. Ppl are tired of answering it over and over while you're too lazy to do a search.

not trying to anger anyone and i know i have seen it but i can not seem to find it even with search would someone please provide me with a link to that thread. thanks.
1. Root your phone (probably already done).
2. Edit your /system/build.prop file
3. Find the line that starts with this: ro.build.fingerprint=
4. Make it say this: ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys
Save, exit, reboot.

I use Att so what do I replace verizon with?
Also my problem may be different than the other fella. I can access market and download...it's just painfully slow..sometimes downloads even times out. Thanks bro.
Do you any free apps I can edit system files with?
The fingerprint line is carrier agnostic. Market just looks for known (to Google) fingerprints. If you have one, you get to see all the protected apps that your unknown fingerprint prevented you from seeing.
The only time the carrier comes into play is when you use an app like MarketAccess to change which carrier's Android Market you are viewing. For example, Verizon's market lets you get apps that are not on any other carrier's market like Bing (for what it is worth), T-Mobile is pretty much unfiltered, and AT&T hides tethering apps.

I'd just check the basics to try to narrow it down. For example, try with and without WiFi, try after a power cycle, etc. No clue what could be slowing you down.
I have a wifi only Xoom and it is Rooted. My question to you is, since it is rooted I obviously cannot be updated via OTA, it keeps showing up that I need to update. I cannot turn off automatic update when I go to about then update. Its really no big deal tbh, but it is really flipping annoying and just keeps coming back...
I would really appreciate some feed back and hope someone knows how to fix my problem. Thanks XDA!!!

Assuming you have CWM installed, you could follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575393
Install the update via CWM and get to 4.0.4 that way...... Ok, its not inhibiting the update notification per-se, but gets you on the latest stock build and keeps your rooted status.....
I would also suggest you check out voodoo root saver on the market. Its supposed to let your root survive an ota update.

Make sure you read the "General" and "Android Dev" sections also - don't just ask a question in "Q&A". As stated in post #2, there is an existing (though only about 1 day old) solution - and it worked quite well for me.
Good luck.

Well mister, how about you go ahead and post that sweet little HTML so I may click on it and square this away eh?
Or, it would be amazing if someone can just simply tell me which process to freeze. Cannot find a damn process with the word "update" in it to freeze.
IDGAF about a damn update, like I said, I am CONTENT with everything I have on my XOOM right now. Simply need to find the "process name" to freeze..
Sorry to be short, but I am pissed off, aggravated and personally am about to throw this in the Hudson river.

I thought from your first post that you wanted to be able to update and stay rooted. I referenced the "sweet HTML" already in post #2 as a way to update and stay rooted.
Hi - I'm no developer, just a fan. I've read all the rules, terms, threats about what happens if you don't SEARCH first - guys I've done it all and for a long time. I have been studying up on how to root my MoPhoton 4g since I got it last August. I think I'm finally ready....but now I'm afraid I'm too late. I got involved in that soak test, which installed 2.3.5. Now, if I've searched/read acs and xda correctly (and other less intelligent sites), here's where I am:
There is no way to downgrade from 2.3.5
Shabbypenguin's wonderfully simple and sweet One Root won't do the trick on 2.3.5 (and boy did I try it MANY times). Had correct drives installed, etc...but no go. I assume you guys know what I'm talking about, but I can and will paste what the script read if you need me too. Short story...got all the way to "you should have root"....but I don't.
Currently the only way to do it is with a root method called Torpedo....which I don't know enough about yet but I'm about to get into it...
And finally, even if I get root, I won't have bootloader, again, because of 2.3.5.
Sound about right so far? If so, here's my big question:
If I can ONLY root for now, will I obtain the benefits I am looking for (mainly increasing/unleashing the SPEED I know this phone is capable of, and fixing whatever problem has always caused this phone to flicker it's wifi on and off and on and off constantly all the time, even in the same location....it drives me up the wall! Also, I'd like to get free wireless hotspot too, cause if you're gonna dream, dream big.
Thanks guys
I got a little confused reading your post, so sorry if this isn't the answer you are looking for...
Rooting would help you in a lot of ways, but the full potential of the phone is unlocked with custom roms and kernels...
For wifi on off, go to settings>wireless and network> wifi, and then press menu, select "advanced"...and see "wifi sleep policy" is set to "never"...

Photon root, bootloader, 2.3.5
Thanks for the response. Allow me to clarify:
Yes, I do want to root and install CM 7 or CM9, but if I can't unlock bootloader that's not possible....correct? If so, I'm hoping someone will tell me I'm wrong about one or more of my earlier assumptions (see bulleted list in OP).
Sorry, but I do not know the way around locked bootloaders...my device has an unlocked bootloader, and this makes job fairly simple...
Does you device have a subforum at xda? If so, then ask this over there, and you shall receive specific help there...
Or wait here for someone with more experience with locked bootloaders...
(P.s. look on over at youtube, you may find an answer)

I've searched around and can find almost zero information about this. It's rather surprising, not a single post like "no you can't" or "this is being worked on" but it's like the Verizon variant doesn't exist at all. I did find some threads talking about how to root based on update build, but none include 10.5.2 (latest VZW build) except the European version. I also have no "OEM unlock" option in the menu, it just doesn't exist. Starting to wonder if I'm out of luck.
I'm also considering "well I can just wait until VZW gets bumped up to 10.5.3 or higher and then try it" but I'm not sure if this would be safe?
I would've gotten the unlocked version but my fiancee and I got the 'Buy One Get One' deal, so that's not an option for me either. If there is any insight or ideas anybody could share, I would be greatly appreciative. One of the main reasons I got this phone is for rooting/mod support. Thank you so much.
Nope. Here's the thread about it.
