I'm having quite a hard time finding the correct instructions. I'm trying to run Android on Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2. I did manage to run Android 2.2 from SD card, but it was very slow and sluggish. I was wondering if there's an option to run a more advanced Android version, like Ice Cream Sandwich, also from SD card as dual boot option.
Any suggestions or help out there?
Thanks in advance!

Gingerbread was the last version created for the TP2.
The experience of the SD card version relys heavly upon the sd card you run it from.
Read this thread for more SD card/OS requirements info.
Here are the basic instruction for loading a NAND version of android.
I run GB0X for my daily, and while it is not perfect I am over all happy with it.

Thanks, wizardknight.
Problem is, I'm not familiar with many of the quoted texts, which only adds to my confusion. The second link you provided is totally Chinese to me. The last link I'm not exactly sure if that is the Gingerbread you mentioned. And it also seems that it involves flashing the phone, which I didn't really want to do. I want to dual boot from SD card, so I can revert to Windows Mobile if something goes wrong...

First, if FroYo is slow what makes you think ICS will be fast? lol.
See this thread for a newer version of XDAndroid, based on Gingerbread.
That's the newest and probably the most stable version you can run from the SD card. As was stated, performance is heavily dependent on the SD card itself - and higher class != higher performance here. Operating Systems need high random read/write performance, which is not what classed cards are measuring for speed...
Regardless, NAND runs a bit better IMHO. If you still want WinMo, you'll have to deal with the slowness of running it off the SD card - although to be honest there's not a huge bottleneck by running it on the card.

As I'm still new to Android, you can't expect too much from me... I just assumed that if FroYo is sluggish, a newer version could probably be faster. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. I guess it indeed also depends on RAM, ROM, and who knows what else.
Anyway, I downloaded your latest link, copied the unzipped files to the root of my SD card (unfortunately I wasn't aware of the fact that higher classes will perform better, so I got a class 2 card last week). As per the instructions, I copied all .csv files from the \Windows directory to the same root of the SD card. I also copied the RHOD400 startup .txt file (which as I assume is the one for my HTC Touch Pro 2). When I then try to run the HARET.exe, the phone crashes and simply reboots back in WinMo...
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

the recommended cards are the lower class Sandisk ones class 2 should be good. Higher Class cards are not good for running an OS from. it is also recomended that you format the SD with the "HP Tool" http://www.eocfiles.com/bdc86eb1ed2989c30dcd1902e84939ae/bootdisks/SP27608.exe before you put GBX0C on it. I also have a sprint TP2 and have had problems with 16GB SD cards had to use an 8GB.

This is exactly what worked for me. have you set win mo to airplane mode before starting HARET? it is recomended round here but did not produce a reboot when I did not do it.

First, re-read my post - I said higher class != better performance - as in does NOT equal.
Also, as was previously stated - it sounds like you did everything correctly. Do you have a funky WinMo ROM? I know some ROM's 'fake' what type of device it is, and this doesn't play with HaRET well - because HaRET actually believes what WinMo is telling it... I can't remember the ROM's off hand that do this, but the jist is they try to fake as if the device is the Leo aka HD2... which it obviously is not...
The only other thing I can think of is did you reuse anything? Literally anything, from FroYo? Data.img, anything? Please don't reuse a single file. Start fresh with GBX0C, including a new startup.txt.
Thanks all! So I formatted my SD card again with the HP tool, copied back all files from the zipped folder, copied over the csv files from \Windows and tried to run HaRET again. Sadly, same story. First the progress bar comes up with "Loading Linux", but around halfway it crashes, and the phone boots up in WinMo again.
The ROM itself is stock from Sprint, I didn't change anything on that. And with FroYo I used HARET as well, and there it worked fine. Except no ringtones (!!!) and no bluetooth (!!!). The other difference is that with FroYo I did not get instructions to copy over csv files. Could that be the cause?
I definitely didn't copy over any FroYo files to this one...
Thanks!

FroYo doesn't require the CSV's.
You're not reusing any files? Nothing is being reused at all?
You have a RHOD400?
Have you tried different SD cards?
It's a brand new Sandisk 8 gb class 2 micro sd, never used before. Downloaded the original files from the provided link. I think maybe to use the provided csv files instead of my own...

Do you have WinMo overclocked with WiMoSpeed or something of the like? Haret will crash if you are using something other than the 528MHz stock speed.

I managed to find a friend, borrowed his 8 GB Class 4 card, formatted with HP tool, copied all files, including csv. Same crash with his card...
I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2. According to my research, and to the sticker in back of battery, it should be the RHOD400.

Not on the battery, under the battery on the phone itself, yes? Then yes, you have a RHOD400. Especially if it's 'Sprint' branded...
Ok, do this. First, run HaRET.exe with NO startup.txt. You can copy HaRET.exe to another location (root of SD, etc) - or rename your startup.txt to startup.bak or something. Then run HaRET.exe and tell us what you see in the box.
Next, perhaps try EVERYTHING from GBX0C except for the startup.txt. Still fails? Try the HaRET.exe and startup.txt from FRX07. Let us know.
So here's my latest update:
I tried removing the startup.txt file, crashed. Tried to run the HaRET.exe file on its own, crashed. Tried to use the startup.txt from FRX06 (which is different from the GBX0C one, I checked). Crashed.
Finally tried to use the HaRET.exe from FRX06, and now it works! Runs Android 2.3.7!
I guess for now the issue is solved. Will have to continue testing. BT and ringtones didn't work with FRX06. Should it work now?
By the way, here's a screenshot of what happened when I didn't have the startup.txt.

Thanks. Just checked bluetooth. Sadly, it doesn't work. Takes about 10-15 seconds when I check the turn on box, but then it remains off... Wondering if there's a fix for that. Ringtones are fortunately working.
But I have another issue so far. While outgoing SMS messages seem to work fine, I don't get the incoming messages. Any ideas?

Machine Type Leo - Exactly what I said earlier. Your WinMo ROM is trying to fake like you have an HD2 not a TP2... That's the whole reason HaRET.exe doesn't work. Your ROM is lying.

Text messaging should work fine. With you mixing and matching so much, and having god knows what for a WinMo ROM... who knows what's wrong. Did you boot Android with WinMo in airplane mode?

According to the Android dev center there is CDMA support for Android 1.6. On HTC's development center there are open system images for Android, and even radio ROMs (probably GSM as they are for the Dream). I was wondering if there was anyone capable of making anything for the Titan anytime soon? Sprint's releasing the HTC Hero with android on it today, and maybe there will be luck on porting that to Titan or something of that nature.
Heres the HTC Dev Center link.
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s1
I would love to try this on my retired titan if some one need help testing
I don't think you can "flash" android to the titan (not that I know of anyway), but you can use haret to boot into android from the SD card. I'm not sure if anyone has a 1.6 build running, but I've ran 1-1.5 before. It's not the most stable thing, some features don't work, but it is usable.
Here's some threads that may interest you:

I just tried version 1 I guess thats what it was. DAMN!! thats all i can say.. Was Daaaamnnn... I wanna see this availiable for 1.6 it looks real sharp and it actually makes the xv6800 run smooth as silk like it should...
sort of working
I was able to get the version from the first post booted from the memory card. It was the first time i had used the interface and I must say it was promising. however my 6800 is not my primary phone and is not provisioned on Verizon's system. the WI-FI was not working and therefore I coud not get google maps to get any data. it would not use the usb calbe either.
thanks for pointing me to the threads above.
1.6 does work on the Titan BUT GPS is broken in the vogue-android files out there ATM.
Google vogue-android and you should find the right files and a good guide, its the one on code.google.com.
Enjoy.
So this will definetly work on the Titan? I am just paranoid.
http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
That zip file from the older thread. Is there a newer one since I am sure the files have changed?
edit: oh that zip file is not online anymore. So can anyone zip the new files and post it here? Thanks!
I am also looking to get 1.6 running on my Titan, I can't get the marketplace to run with any of the 1.5's i install.
i got myns warm donut to work on my titan, but i can only load it through haret. im thinking that if someone made an .NBH file to load through RUU utility, we may be able to NAND this!
edit.. it works, but when the screen locks.. it wont recognize the menu button to unlock
your power button is the menu button when the screen locks
Warm on Titan....Wow!
May I ask, which version of MYNS Warm did you use and which keyboard panel?
I can't wait to try it out. I am currently enjoying RLS3 on my kaiser.

There is a good pack on a site called NerdIT. I can't do outside links yet (stupid forum rules!). But type this into Google: Android ION titan and look for the NerdIT release.
Then go to this forum and look at the 3rd page of "Android Titan Package" for the proper default.txt.
and use the default.txt I've put up there. This will show the proper resolution. It works pretty well, but it's sloooow so overclock with the Nue tool. The hard buttons are weird but there are sites to show you what they do.
So does Myn's Warm donut work fine with the mogul?
Runs smooth?
All i wanna know is if
* the keyboard works
* Internet connection works
* Making Phone calls work
* text works
Im trying to help a friend out who has a mogul.
And since you guys have first hands experience thatll be great.
(i don't need instructions on how to do this; very familiar with haret.exe and .nbh cuz im currently using myn's on nand for my htc vogue.)
thanks again if you can provide any info.

well, mym's runs at OK speeds with a fast enough SD card, mine isint fast so i stick with the old google ion android 1.5 build, it runs fast and has very few glitches, obviously, camera, wifi and bluetooth dont work fully but market works partially (no paid apps show up). with a fast enough SD card id actually reccomend mssmison's eclair build, it runs just as fast as mym's warm donut but its on android 2.1 witch means it has a ton more features. if you wish i will upload my default.txt and zimage files because the zimage is a pain to get the updated version for the mogul and the default.txt has a few modifications. just send me a PM and ill upload the files for you.

You have to initiate the install i believe.
When you run haret.exe you have to press and hold the center button on the d-pad
Press and hold that button as soon as your phone restarts (as a result from clicking run on haret.exe)
Just keep holding the center button and a menu should pop up in about 20 seconds or less. use the directional pad to navagate and choose
install system on ext2 partition
install data on ext2 partition
Now if you didnt make ext 2 partitions (sd card just purely fat32)
then you choose install system
Can someone give me the kink?
Can someone please give me a link of android that runs on the mogul with marketplace and the steps on how to get internet working on it. Thanks
does this also work with the ppc 6800 titan that is unlocked?
i mean i have spl-2.40 with ppck 23569 running.
isnt the mogul and titan the same thing?
i google "mogul phone" and it returns with ppc6800 which i believe is my phone but called the TITAN

My Mapking 2007 just hangs at the splashscreen. This is after I had upgraded from NAFT's 6.1to 6.5 (NRGZ28). Subsequent downgrades to NAFT's 6.1 and then upgrade to other chef's 6.5 led to me thinking..i need HTC HD2.
if you run a check on the official website MK2007 and MKR12 are temporarily not supported on WM6.5. So even if you get urself a HD2 it doesn't solve the problem you're facing. If you really need MapKing, go back to WM6.1
just in case u'r wondering when will it be supported, you have to ask MapKing developers only they have the answer. My guess is there will be a new version of MapKing for WM6.5
Oh... no wonder I can't seem to get MapKing working on my more recent ROMs. But thought I had it working just a while ago (and I was also on a WM6.5 ROM then). Unless it's only with regards to specific builds.
I am using HD 2 and I am also using mapking 2007 on my device.
in fact, i havce mapking 2007 also on my blackstone which is also running on 6.5
I am using Asus P535 with WM6.5 28005 and MapKing 2007, both work fine

Don't think that's the case for me. My MapKing's installed in 'Program Files\MapAsia\MapKing2007'. Doesn't exceed 128 characters.
Thing is I always get stuck at the splash screen.
Perhaps it's really with regards to some builds of WM6.5 since it works for some of you.

Is there any file that exists in any deep directory?
For example..

As long as there's a file in any folder or folders that has a path name longer than 128 characters, Mapking won't work..
May I propose something..
Try to install Mapking in different location.
If you installed in device, and Mapking cannot work, try to install in Storage Card..
Or if you installed in Storage Card, try to install in device..

Uh, your 'any file' meaning any file belonging to MapKing? Or just any file in the entire phone? Cos if it's just any file belonging to MapKing, I don't think there's any that exists in a deep directory. But anyway, I'll try installing in Storage Card (since I installed in Device (though all along I've been installing in Device and it was working ok)).
Basically Mapking will search only in either 1 of the 2 places.
If it was installed in the device's memory, it will only search there.
If it was installed in the Storage Card, it will therefore search the Storage card.
Any file, not necessarily belong to Mapking.
For example, if Mapking was installed in the device's memory..and inside the device's memory have such a file with a path name more than 128 characters..
\Program Files\Ancient Literatures from the past\Best literature for leisure reading\My favourite author\This book definitely must be read\The best text that you must ever read\This text file is really very long to read.txt
The Mapking can't work..
Hey you're right! Installed it to my main microSD but it still didn't work. Then tried installing it into a spare microSD (that didn't contain any other files) and it works! Think for Device itself it might be due to the additional files from TF3D while for my main microSD, it might be due to my MP3s (cos they're stored in sub-folders). Now gotta figure out a workaround for this (cos I can't be using a separate microSD just for the MapKing).

Glad to be able to help.
Maybe you can just rename the folders or the files..
Anyway 128 characters for path name is quite enough..
Now if only there was an application that could help list down the directories/files that exceeded 128 characters...

If you installed in your main Storage Card, maybe you can use a card reader to copy all the things to your desktop pc.
Then with the Mapking installed in that main Storage card, slowly delete 1 folder by 1 folder. Until the Mapking can work.
Then you will know, which is the culprit. After that, just rename that file to another name..
Hi,
I was on Touch Cruise which comes with MapKing! R12
Just upgraded to HD2, thus installed the R12 on it.
It does not work, giving me
Device check failed?
Program terminated...
Anyone can help? Thx
While i noticed most videos of people installing android on their hd2, (after flashing the correct radios and rom), the texts on linux screen moved fast while mine takes about 30 sec or more to proceed to the next line. (veryyy slowww)
For example:
........................mv=4026
(30 seconds later)
........................mv=4021
I've flashed radio 2.07 and energy rom( latest). After copied the hyperdroid files into a folder "Hyperdroid" in my storage, i closed everything and disconnect my USB and now in a progress of installing Hyperdroid. Isit normal?
Im just worry that it would takes forever untill my battery is running out.
I couldn't find threads with similiar problem(?)..

What it's doing is creating the data.img file. If it hasn't finished in 20 min or less, check that you didn't run out of SD card space.
Thank you for your reply
Ive already reformated my SD before putting the android files into it. My SD is 8gb storage.
While copying the files into SD, i was trying out with camera and did take a picture. (the usb is still connected). When it's done, i disconnect it, opened with file manager--> Storage , and i noticed there is DCIM and my document , i deleted it manually (long touch and select delete). I then opened the android folder, *touched* CLRCAD and then haret..
Is it something to do with the time when i take picture causing problems like that?
It's already 1 hour plus..
{edit} its now at mv=3882.. @4.06am
{edit} its now at mv=3853.. @4.18am
{edit} its now at mv=3826 @4.27am
what is the supposed final value?
How do i check whether my storage is full just in case

Hey Man, did you rename the HYPERDROID folder extracted from download to ANDROID or something else. You need to keep it named HYPERDROID.
try that or another build

Edit:
i switched to the chuckyrom, didtn know which version.... but it also didnt work
can u just send me an rom and an android-build, which just work
download one of the Andriod versions of Mdeejay. He has truely good working ROMS. EVO, Revolution, Desire and Desire HD (even with 720p camera fixed)
I just think you data.img is corrupted .. you can try to replace it .. i rather would go for another Adriod version. Trouble shooting for Andriod SD ports is a waste of time if you dont know were to search
i download always a new data.img when i change android
so i rather think, this isnt the problem
but the mdeejay builds.... i try it
EDIT:
im doin it right, or?
the data.img in the android folder and the rootfs from the android folder intro the root of the sdcard
EDIT2:
it also stucks at the bootscreen.... this time it is white and green
any1 know, which issue keeps me away from the lovely android @ hd2?
It also happens to me when i download android and exracted to my sd card it stuck or frozen in the htc logo for like an 1hr
I would delete the data.img and let Android build a new one. It should do it on its own the 1st time you boot it up, it will make your 1st boot take quite awhile, probly like 10 minutes, but it should boot up that way as long as you haven't changed or modified anything else within your /Android folder. It may just be because of the data.img that you included in the folder why it won't boot up for you
ok, i let android "build" a data.img by it self, but it also hangs at the bootlogo
and i didn't changed anything in the android folder, cuz i dont know what
i changend in the meanwhile the hspl from 2 to 3 back to 2
i changed several roms...... several android builds but nothing works :'(
dont some1 know what my problem is?
i always use task29 b4 i flash a ne rom and radio

My suggestion Sir is to
-try other SD card or
-to format current SD card
tried another sd card and also yet on another handy with an 2gb card - not sdhc
and it dont work ether
when i download a new android build, the only thing i have to do is to put the rootfs.img out of the android folder into the root if the sdcard. something else?

Okay, It's the same as the one I have tested in the past.
Steps to do:
1) Download v. 4.3
Download 1GB data.img
2) Prepared your SD:
- Format your SD (select FAT32)
3) Create a folder on your SD named: "Android"
4) Open the "MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.3_MDJ_S7.5HD.zip" archive with winzip/7zip Set the 10 files folders in your Android folder on your SD
Code:
- AndroidApps (folder)
- media (folder)
- zImage
- initrd.gz
- rootfs.img
- startup.txt
- system.ext2
- CLRCAD.exe
- haret.exe
- ts-calibration
5) Open the "data.zip" archive with winzip/7zip Set the data.img file in your Android folder on your SD
(You don't need to have a other file/folder on your SD except the one I mentioned.)
6) insert your SD into your device
7) Navigate with your device to your SD/Android folder; press on CLRCAD.exe and than on haret.exe
The first boot up can take some time (about 15min) but after that it must works well.
green logo ey?
When i was installing android on mine HD2 all i needed was to UPDATE MY RADIO to 2.15 ! and it passed the green logo just fine! I really doubt it has anything to do with sd card...
ok i followed the steps indicatet above AND flashed Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
hope it works...
i tell ya
btw: is it normal, that there will be the logo for about 15 min?
in older versions, there was a linux-dos-lookalike screen where u know that the handy was doin something
where did he go??
edit after 20 min:
still hangin on the green/white htc logo
i did ALL files into the Android folder, no files nowhere else
dont know whats wrong
EDIT next day 11:50AM:
thank you kurt-willems
but also your tutorial wont help me :'(

Fore the moment out of Ideas.
- Radio is correct
- Rom; I don't see the problem
- Steps are follow like I mentioned
Maybe SD, (but you tested also on a otter SD. No?)
This worked for me.
I had the same issue for about a day, and after research of stuck on green HTC Logo with no help, and thousands of post later I came acroos an article regarding EncFiltLog.menc. Do not format your SD card with MAC or windows PC, but rather the secret is to format your SD card with your winmo phone by going to "settings" | "format SD card". It will create an exec file "EncFiltLog.menc" This file is, I guess, a partition index??? The file "EncFiltLog.menc" is hidden in windows mobile 6.x but is visible when you mount your SD card to your PC. Do not delete this file!!!!
After that just drop your android folder and it will boot up in less than 3 mins. After that, u may add all your other files. I use a 16GB card with Android and all my music and stuff with no problems. Hope this helps you.
Seriously man, you're a life saver. This has been kicking my butt for two days now.

Is there anyone in San Diego that could install a fast, smooth and reliable version of Android on my HD2? If so, please let me know when you can do it and for how much $.

Thanks

It's so simple. Why on Earth would you pay someone to do it?
You download the one that looks best to you from HD2 Android Development, unzip it, and put the Android folder onto your sd card.
Not inside any folders on your card, just on the card.
Then in Windows Mobile, you go to your file explorer, go into the Android folder on your sd card, tap CLRCAD (nothing will happen, thats ok just tap it each time you start Android) and then tap Haret.
It really is as simple as putting a folder onto your sd card.
Just do it yourself. If you manage to screw it up, it won't mess up your phone and somebody on this forum will take pity on you and show you where you messed up

I started this thread because I had just discovered that I can't do the install on my mac with an emulator. I really need to do it myself just so I know how to do it so I don't have to hassle finding someone to do updates. Sooooo, I'm doing a clean install on an old Windows machine just to get this done.
Are there simple non-developer instructions anywhere on how to do this? I've had two people tell me how simple this is but the instructions on this forum don't seem that simple with terms like "flash, etc. What does the term "flash" mean?

It's called that because of the type of memory. Anyway, it basically means install. "Flashing" a new radio means you're installing a different version while overwriting the existing one.
HOW TO FLASH:
Use "CustomRUU.exe" to flash the file (.nbh file extension). Phone must be connected and have >50% battery. If the CustomRUU.exe isn't included, download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=239860&d=1256298258
Step 1 - HSPL3 must be installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893
The .zip attached to this must be extracted and installed. Simple enough, no?
Step 2 - Flash a new Radio ROM.
I recommend the newest one (2.15.50.14)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Step 3 (OPTIONAL) - New Windows Mobile ROM
I put optional because Android will run without a different one, it just might not be as well. Download the "RELOADED 3" one in red. I use this one. Flash the same way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776971
Step 4 - Download Android flavor of your choice and copy it onto your SD card. I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518
Step 5 - Go into WM, navigate to the Android folder on the root of your SD, and click CLDCAD.exe (nothing will happen, this is normal) then click haret.exe
Step 6 - Celebrate.
If you need any help, feel free to message me.
No can do with any Virtual Machine on Macintosh?
Just use the newest official.They come with a newer radio.
If you cant flash with your mac extract the file and copy the nbh file as leoimg.nbh in the root of your SD.
Start the phone with vol down and let it flash.

Instead of a virtual machine (is it Parallels?) why not use BootCamp, then you have a full Windows os on your mac - and you can flash.
I'll see if I can borrow a mac again and test flashing via Parallels.

On the few times I have run Windows on a Mac (via Parallels and Bootcamp), it runs really well. It just goes to show that the main problems with Windows is that of the sloppy drivers for the hardware that the hardware manufacturors provide. Since Apple only have a couple of computers, therefore they can afford to take time to develop device drivers for Windows.
Just to clarify please and sorry to be asking lame questions...
1) Is this true? "The best most reliable Froyo ROM for the HD2 is the 2.2.1 Custom Nexus HD2-FRG83D V1.8 Froyo ROM. Very stable and everything works perfectly." Is that accurate?
2) Are you saying that I can do the entire install of everything on my Mac with an emulator (VMWare Fusion) as long as I do it the way you describe?
3) Are you saying that I should change the name of the nbh file to leoimg.nbh and then drop it into my SD card?
4) My HD2 came with Android on it but it runs slow and clunky and won't make calls, etc. Its basically unusable so I'm assuming it wasn't installed correctly. There is nothing on the SD card that I care about. Should I format the SD card before starting the new build? And is there anything on the Windows side that I should delete first before starting too?
Thanks again.

I would be willing to pay somebody for simple step by step clear non-nerdy instructions on how to install this stuff (Android, reformat SD card to FAT32, radio, etc., etc.) Seriously! You know, Step 1: Do this ya moron. Step 2: Now put this file named this in here idiot. Step 3: Now do this retard, etc.
Here are some more questions please...
1) What is the difference between a "sense" build and a "non-sense" build? Advantages, disadvantages?
2) When I plug the usb from my hd2 into my computer I don't see or recognize what is the SD card folder and I don't know where to install what I'm supposed to install. Here is what I see...
Removable Disk (E) > Application Data folder > HTC folder > databases folder > DocExp folder (with all this stuff in the DocExp folder: flintlock, postlist, postlist.baseB, record.baseA, termlist, termlist.baseB, iamflint, post.baseA, record, record.baseB, termlist.baseA)
...and next to the Application Data folder above there is also this: EncFiltLog.menc
and this is also in the HTC folder too...
ImageCache folder > DocExp folder (which is empty)

OK, when you first start up your phone, and there are little red numbers and stuff down it the corner, look next to the letter 'R'
If it is X.XX.50.XXXX, then you're OK and don't need to change radio's and the process is very simple. (The X's can be any number, doesn't matter, as long as the 3rd set as shown are 50, not 51 or anything else.) So if it's 50, don't worry about the signed_ruu.nbh file or leoimg.nbh or flashing a radio. If it's not 50, you will need to change radio.
Next, when you plug the phone to your computer, the place where you find the 'Application Data' folder and the file 'EncFiltLog.menc', that is the root of your sd card. That is where the Android folder that you download and unzip will go.
So you will download the nicest looking build that you like the best, it will be in a .zip or .7z archive. You open the archive and take the 'Android' folder out and place it on your desktop. Then you drag it and drop it right next to your 'Application Data' folder. Don't put it in the 'Application Data' folder, just in the same place where that folder is at.
Removeable Disk E is your memory card, the root of the card simply means just on the card, not within any folders on the card, just on the card. That's where the Android folder goes, on the root of the card.
As far as Sense vs. No-Sense builds, Sense is maybe a little more user(noob) friendly, but it uses more of your phone's resources, so sometimes tends to lag (slow down, run slow) more than a no-sense build. For you, I would say try a Sense build first. Once you have installed one build, you will become more confident and really see how easy it is. Then you can experiment with different builds and see what is best for you.
After you have put the Android folder on the root of your sd card, alls there is left to do is to use the File Explorer on your phone to find the Android folder on your sd card, go inside that folder, first tap CLRCAD (it won't appear to do anything, but it actually enables sound in Android) (if your phone says the application is not from a trusted source,and asks do you want to continue, just click 'yes') and then tap Haret, a box will appear with a progress bar, and then Android will boot up (start).
The first time you run an Android build, it can take up to 15 minutes to start up. This is normal, just give it a while.
Then when it starts up, enter all the data it asks for (GMail, email addresses, etc. nothin major) and then when you have finished with that, and you end up at the phone's Android homescreen, hold the 'End Call' button, and choose 'reboot' and if there's no reboot option, just choose 'shut down' and then restart Android the same way as before. For some reason, rebooting after the first time like that actually helps Android to run more stable over the long term.
If you follow these instructions exactly as I have written them, you cannot fail. Now go, and enjoy Android
No need to pay me, just remember the 'thanks' button

I think you prove my point quite well... Macs are pretty much a single entity unto themselves. What Apple says, goes. Nothing else is acceptable. If you are prepared to be so limited then go ahead and stay with Apple products - they are for those who think they have imagination but are actually fooled into a "groupthink".
Huggs! Thank you very much for taking the time to explain that to me.
I installed Android and added my info (email address, etc.) and then restarted it like you said to do. Of course Windows loads first and when I tap the Android icon to launch Android it says: "The file Android cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." Since this phone had Android on it when I bought it last week (but it didn't work properly), I'm assuming that is the old Android launcher?? I did reformat the SD card via the Windows side of the phone before I installeded Android just now. Can you or anyone please tell me how I can get Android to launch now?
Thanks again.
Steve
UPDATE: I opened the Android folder and tapped CLRCAD and then HARET again and got the same error message as I explained above when I tap the Android icon. Also, and maybe this is normal since I'm still in Windows, but when I try to open any of the other files in the same folder (like INITRD, ROOTFS, etc., I get an error message that says: "There is no application associated with XXXXX. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."
Another question please: The guy I bought this phone from was using T-Mobile but I'm going to use Simple Mobile. Does doing all the stuff I just did unlock this phone or do I still need to use an unlock code when I insert the sim card? (I will need to call Simple Mobile to activate the new Simple Mobile sim card in order to transfer my existing number over to this HD2)
Install this .cab in WinMo (install to device not sd)
Soft reset device (just fully off n then on, not factory reset)
try running Android again
Sounds like your phone just doesn't trust Haret, this should make it relax a little
let me know how it goes, it should work for ya
