What You Will Need
A Rhodium/TouchPro2/Tilt2 device
PC with an internet connection (I'm assuming you have one if your reading this thread)
Micro SD card
USB cable or Micro SD Adapter
Steps
1. Go to to XDAndroid thread(when at the thread hit the big logo) or the official site either link will take you to where you need to go. It should look something like this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Click the download link on the left next to HOME it should bring you to the page pictured below. Archive link has the older releases of XDAdroid.
3. You can download the rar or the cab but I prefer to use the rar method. Keep in mind the Blazin(custom) and Reference(stock) are different from each other. Save to your desktop and make sure you have an extractor like 7zip or Winrar.
4. Once you have downloaded the files to your desktop extract them in advance and make sure to save them to your desktop for easy reference.
5. Now press the link to the Official GenY Dualboot thread and download the v1.0.6.0 CAB .
6. Now extract the download to your desktop.
7.Go to the extracted folder you downloaded from XDAndroid and double click the andboot folder and make sure it looks like this. You may have to get the startup.txt from andboot>AndroidApps folder, it should say startup.backup.txt.
8. It is essential you have these folders and files because they are needed for XDAndroid to work.
AndroidApps(folder)
conf(folder)
media(Folder)
haret.exe
initrd.gz
modules-x.x.xx.xx
rootfs.img
startup.txt
system.ext2
ts-calibration
zImage
9. Go to the GenY Dualboot folder you extracted and copy the WVGA cab to the andboot folder you compiled. The highlighted file.
Your completed folder should look something like this.
10. Now transfer( copy and paste or cut and paste your choice) all the contents in the andboot folder(DO NOT MOVE THE ACTUAL FOLDER JUST THE FILES IN IT) to the root of you Micro SD card.
11. Once you've done that insert your Micro SD card into you device and head to the file eplorer
12. Now install the GenY Dualboot cab to your sd card. Its should say internal or storage card but choose storage card. Its is essential you install this to your storage card or it wont boot when you turn the phone on.
13. Reset your phone or power off then power on and it should boot. You can choose to boot windows or android and you done. Just give it a little time to load android.

I forgot to mention there is a FAQ that can answer your questions regarding startup.txt, cdma services, tethering and etc but if it doesn't help don't be afraid to post or pm I'm always on XDA
FAQ: http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/faq
I will make a clear HD video tutorial w/ commentary on YouTube when I have time.
Update 1
If your are using a GSM device I recommend you make sure force CDMA in the startup.txt is at 0. Also before you boot into Android make sure you are not in AIRPLANE MODE in windows.

Pretty handy. Just a note, you can use a registry editor to tell it to boot from your andboot folder instead of the root of the SD card. Working nicely here now, thanks!

What if you decide to use the andboot folder and not transfer the files into the main dir of the sdcard. Is there a setting that we can modify to point to the andboot folder?
Nevermind, found an answer...
v1.0.6.0 and newer: "AndroidBootFolder"="string" ("": boot from root of storage (e.g. \Storage Card\haret.exe)| "andboot": boot from \Storage Card\Andboot\haret.exe, string can be edited in registry)
v1.0.5.0 and older: "AndroidBootFolder"=dword:0 (1: boot from \Android\ folder on storage (e.g. \Storage Card\Android\haret.exe)| 0: boot from root of storage)

I just noticed that string on GenY thread someone posted about that earlier.

nice- it's much less painful to reboot android this way. I also changed the registry key to boot from andboot I like to have an organized storage card

---

wow this is awesome thanks, i needed this to test a website i made for my phone but the lack of browsers with a good wekit for winmo is crap.
i do use the android emulator but to test it on a device is much better so thanks, i did not want to lose my windows mobile rom because of the software i have on it.
i have however one problem, i cant connect to my mobile operator here in the uk, i have set my locale to UK and set the network to search but it finds nothing, so far i have browsed only via the working wifi, but no GPRS, which i would like to for real testing, does anybody know of this issue, or is it just unique to my set.
FYI HTC touch pro 2 on virgin mobile network

Your startup txt should have force CDMA at 0 and make sure your not in airplane mode when your windows before you enter android

great tutorial, good job =]
edit*
1 question,
I installed this on my sd card, rebooted the phone but at booting the gen Y screen did not pop up or is that normal?
i tought this program would show up as soon as winmo is booting right? so i can choose faster wich OS i wanna boot in.
so yeah this program does not auto start for me on startup, i can start the program manualy in the menu though but thats not much faster then booting haret...
so what did i do wrong :S
edit2*
After an second reboot it worked.. and after an third reboot it also works oh lol.
Guess i had to start the program once to be recognized or something like that.
Anyway great thanks =]

Awesome! quick and easy! thank you so much!

Aren't you supposed to actually install it to internal memory not storage card?? this is what the offical Gen.Y Dualboot post says
"This app MUST be installed on your internal memory in order for autoboot to work. (installing on internal storage/storage card will cause the app not to launch on boot)
Also make sure that all registry entries are correct, since an incorrect/missing registry key can cause errors (v1.0.6.0: make sure the AndroidBootFolder key is a STRING (not dword!)"

I feel it is best to install to SD in case you continually auto-boot into android when you dont want to after setting auto-boot/fast-boot for Android. Sometimes when the phone reboots it does not respond immediately and does not give you a chance to tap so when that happens your can remove SD and boot up again in windows.

Before you boot into android make sure you are not in airplane mode in Windows. Also make sure force cdma is at 0.

I've got a small issue I hope someone can help with:
I'm dual booting WM6.5 and XDAndroid Froyo7.1 with Gen Y Dual booter on an AT&T Tilt2 (Rhodium300).
The issue I'm having is that Gen Y only allows for either a 3 sec or 10 sec boot and neither is long enough for either bluetooth or WiFi to initialize before booting to Android. If I boot into Winmo from Gen Y and let it fully load before running Haret.exe I have both bluetooth and Wifi on Android with no problems.
Does anyone know how to add an additional delay to Gen Y so that it loads after 30 sec or 60 sec?

I've never had this problem, and I have Android boot in 3s. Is WinMo in Airplane Mode when you boot Android? I always leave WinMo in Airplane Mode, maybe that's the difference...?
Some crazy guy used mortscript to delay Gen.Y running. You can try that I guess...
