Any bugs??
Grtz. from tha lowlands.
I tested it and works good but the camera and music app are not functioning properly
That i have tried.

No idea as I don’t use it as daily phone OS.
Hello jayce i want to install this on my HD2 but i have dual boot WM 7.5 mango and Android 2.3.5 nexus gingerbread. what should i do to install this? should i move it to my SD card and install and CMW remove the partition byt itsel or should i format my SD card and install a Stock HD2 rom then install this Android rom?
You need to get ICS ROM in SD card version. Above one is NAND version.
u have given before a tutorial on how to go back from wm 7.5 mango to Android rom . can u paste the link plz? and where can i find the tutrial for the SD Version? and whats the difference between NAND and SD? i know that SD version u use MAgldr and u install it from SD.but with NAND u use CMW and u install it from PC?

http://www.jayceooi.com/2010/12/30/how-to-install-android-2-2-froyo-on-htc-hd2-video/
NAND version installs on internal memory. SD version installs on SD card.
CWM installs ROM from SD card in zip format.
Hello jayce i installed this nand version evrything is working great but camera isnt working and thers problem in lockscreen it keeps freezing many times,then i can unlock screen. How can im fix this problem?
It is still beta version. Please wait for stable version…
How can i maximize or make my internal storage bigger? Cuz in my phone its 175 mb in my friends it 152 mb its very low regarding if i install many apps can u help. Me with that?
Use a smaller CWM layout size.
Instead of 250 MB i use 150 mb? Or when im partitionng my sd card with CMW i used 512 i use less?
Use the exact size that ROM chef recommended.
when will be a stable version of ICS will be released..??i want to install on my hd2.
hey jayce i got a important question my friend has a china version hd2 windows mobile and he want to flash any rom from xda developers on it is this possible can this be done being that it has a mtk 6573 chipset in it
I don’t think so because China HD2 should be a clone. Not official one.
thanks jayce but i have one more question if he flash original htc hd2 rom on china hd2 and its successful can he then flash a custom rom like android 2.3.4 on it do you think it would work????
Totally no idea as I don’t have such model. Sorry…
BTW, which one hsould i install? The alpha or the beta folder?
Beta is better than alpha…
Ok… Thank for the advice ; )
Hello jayce i wanna ask when i do the step (full wipe-Task 29) does it remove Magldr and Hspl and radio? Or just data and cache?meaning after i do the full wipe do i need to flash radio and magldr and hspl? Or just flash ICS rom? Or i need to install CWM recovery then flash ISC rom?
Sorry, I did not perform task 29 before. No idea.
K what does wipe do?
Wipe == delete.
is android remains permanent after switching off the phone???
Yes, this is NAND build.
and in android 4.0 also..??
and wich zip should i download for android 4.0??
and as my phone is got switch off after installing android 2.3 thn my phone again starts in windows again….
Yes. But better don’t try Android 4.0 if this is your first NAND Android.
which one to select??
1.alpha
2.beta.zip1
3.beta.zip2
or if beta must dwload zip1 and2…
Get the latest one – beta2.
what is the Partition for HD2: 150Mb, 200Mb or 250Mb….
200MB for v1. Easiest just use 250MB.
How to Partition: 150Mb, 200Mb or 250Mb…..
Read ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3 installation guide.
I’M using Hd2 toolkit. And how to partition: 200mb ??????
Never use HD2 Toolkit before. No idea…

Dear JAYCE

Thanks
How much CWM partition size did you use?
That I dont know and how but i was using the typoon CM7 _3.6.8magdlr (2.3.7 gingerbred) and CWR 3.0.0.5 before
THanks
You need at least 200MB CWM partition layout. I used 250MB. Just install CWM again then Android ROM.
Hi,
My HTC stuck on HTC after instaling the Room, I have partitioned 1024, but it still do not work, it stuck on HTC logo.
I am installing beta 10
Please Help.
Regards
Omar
Just want to add that i installed the Alpha, and it did boot with no problem bu when i install the beta10 it will be stuked on HTC logo ..
Please Help
Regards
Omar
Use 190MB CWM layout for beta10.
helo , i use 250 MB CMW version and i use CMW to partition SD card which size is the best? my internal storage is only 150 MB i cant install to many apps:S
Use 220MB CWM. It will give you another 30MB of user disk space.
Thanks Jayce!
Finally have i have the Beta version of ICS hope that all other features will soon fixed by the developers.
keeps freezing on the boot screen than reboots and starts from the beginning
How much CWM partition size did you install?
250 when i installed HSPL4 it newer displayed “we hacked it” on HD2 all i got on PC just this message – “Install succesfull clik OK”
if this would help i had MIUI on it before and before that WP7
Why you want to install HSPL4 again since you have it already?
Can you still load CWM now?
yes i still can load CWM…
Good. Wipe data and cache. Then install the ROM again.
it freezes on the boot screen
Are you sure that you are using 250MB CWM partition layout? Others don’t have issue…
I too have issues freezing at the HTC logo, I have 250MB but not sure about the 576 radio, how do I check ?
Can’t check unless you are on Windows Mobile. But as long as you can load MAGLDR, you are using radio that support 576 MB RAM.
Hi Jayce,
I have installed Beta 1 but theh camera is not working and also cannot connect to the mobile data plan.
It is beta version. Things do not work are normal.
Do u know when the pfficial version will be released?
There is no official ICS ROM for HTC HD2.
what should i do if i want to update to beta 2 from beta 1?
Just install it like beta1.
even the wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache parts?
raylot – i did the same i installed beta 1 first then installed beta2 over 1 with the same procedure.
No need.
Thank you, it works! can’t wait until all the bugs get fixed though…
Hey, I have followed the whole process. However,after the last reboot, the process does not go beyond the graphical illusion. The graphics keep playing forever. What might I have done wrong?
How much CWM partition layout size did you install?
I installed 400Mb but also tried 150Mb
Try 250MB. Use 200MB if you know how to edit CWM layout size.
ok, lemme try that one. So do i have to start afresh or just replace what i have with 250Mb?
Just do it like 150MB and 400MB.
How long should the graphical illusions take before you get to set up for the new OS?
It has worked. Thank you very much mate.

hello Jayce i installed 250m cwm but i dont get past the graphics what can i do to fx it? thanks for your help?
Did you install Android ROM after that? If really cannot, you need to use 200MB CWM layout then.
Is there a link where I can download the 200m or I need to do it myself?

Hi, Jayce, okay, will try. However, found that your link of downloading of ICE CREAM SANDWICH is linked to ICS_V1.1.mag.zip, use this ICS_V1.1.MAG.ZIP is better on beta2 file ?
Pls advise.
Appreciated.
Both of them were outdated and replaced by latest version. Please get the latest one from XDA website.
Hi, Jayce, one more thing would like to check, currently i am having ROM manager, which has a function is “TO INSTALL ROM FROM SD CARD” can i use this function?
I did not use ROM Manager before. No idea.
Hey, Anyone has problem with Camera in beta 3.???

Hi Jayce,
Thanks for the newest version ROM for HD2 (NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta3.zip)! I installed according to your manual above. Before I was running Gingerbread 2.3.7 (Nand) on my HD2.
But after installing this new rom HD2 refuses to start! Each time it starts it shows HTC logo, loads amagldr 1.3, background goes blue for about 0.2 second and loads the green HTC logo and goes off! Then it starts up again, and repeats the whole process!
Any idea?
Thanks,
Maker
Try to use 200MB CWM system partition.
Thank you so much! Pity, I could not see that problem beforehand.
Great, it is working now!
I was also able to install Sygic Aura and Copilot 8.2!

Thanks again,
camera is not working
video playback does not work and what should i do to recover windows..

I have successfully installed ICS4 on my HTC HD2. However, I can’t connect to WIFI because it is not showing available accounts. I tried to add it manually, but saying active accounts not available. I followed each steps correctly . please help.
Hmm…. I can connect to my Wi-Fi router. Not sure what is wrong with yours.
Hi Jayce,
I have installed on my HD2 (from WM) the latest Android ICS based on your description
(which is by the way very good. Detailed, Easy, Understandable)
Unfortunately the camera does not work.
What could be the problem? Is there a fix for it?
Thank you
Zsolt
It is still beta version. Not everything is working. Eg, camera still fail to work.
Can I apply this method on my sony ericsson xperia arc? If not is there another method to install android 4.0 ics on xperia arc
No, it is for HTC HD2 only. Try your luck here – http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=965
Hi Jayce, i followed your video instruction 100%, even wipe out cache and personal data using CMW before installation of the ics bet5 version.
the ics running okay, except the known problem on the camera. BUT found that the internal storage only total 150MB and now used 109MB, left only 42MB free.
Can you please guide me how to expend the original 150MB to higher? as this HD2 should have total 448MB RAM with 512MB ROM.
thank you.
Use 200MB CWM partition layout.
We can’t use all 512MB ROM because system and other stuffs use it too. The CWM partition layout size is reserved for system use. So the bigger the system size, the smaller the user size.
Hi, Jayce, but how to do to use 200MB CWM Partition layout. pls advise the procedure (and link if possible).
it is new for me to on using xxxMB CWM Partition layout.
Appreciated.
Open flash.cfg in 250MB CWM layout. Change system ya 250M to 200M. Then install CWM layout and Android ROM again.
Hi, Jayce,
1) how to open flash.cfg ? any video guide ?
2) install CWM Layout and Android ROM means re-install CWM version 1.3 and Android 2.3.7, right ?
Pls advise your professionalism.
Appreciated.
1. Use any text editor to open. No video guide.
2. Yes.
the work you do is amazing!!! i am having an issue with using the marketplace, it simply will not open. thanks for the help in advance
Its fxxkin working after looooong effort. Thxxxx dude
CAMERA is not working in 4.0 why?
How about the screenshot? lost also..
It is a beta version. What do you expect?
so itmeans its better i choose the alpha?
No, alpha is worst than beta.
its better the gingerbread my friend than 4.0..
Hi, Jayce, when using GB 237, the sms for previous day message only showing date, and the itming disapprear, how to fix it ? pls advise in details.
appreciated.
Sorry, no idea. Don’t use HTC HD2 as daily phone anymore…
followed all the steps… but each time it says ‘no boot device found’
what should i do?
I think you have the same problem as I had! I had a 16gb SD card (in which I had created also three ext partitions) that was locked by WM7. That was the reaso why I got this error.
i dont have any partitions, I’ve 8 gb sd card, wht to do?
Either you can hard reset or reflash again with WP7!
All steps… What had you installed already? And which step did you face this no boot device found issue?
its running on win 6.5
First I installed
DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
HSPL4
after that when i tried to install “ICS_v1.1_MAG”
then i got stuck at step no 5. where after scrolling down using the volume button to # 8 (ad recovery) it showed no boot source found.
currently i rolled back to previous WM 6.5 version
now how can i turn my device with ICS android?
You did not install CWM.
An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (736)
Error Description: EnterBootloader missing
Info: .\RSPL\BootLoader.cpp (176)
This error i’m facing when i tried to install CWM at step number 8
now every thing is fine but i’m stuck at the final graphical illusion which continues to play forever. I read from ur previous comment that i need to have CWM for 250 mb partition layout instead of 400 mb. but i cant find 250mb layout from any where. plz send the link from where i can download it.
Have the same problem, the final graphical illusion never ends.
how did you solved it ?
tnx a lot, at last i did it. but camera not working, is there any option for it?
No, we can’t do anything until developers fix it.
Hey man! Good day! how to use the cam because its not functioning? can u help me?
Sorry, can’t help much since it is ROM issue. Please consult ROM chef at XDA.

Back to WinMo – http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/15/how-to-restore-stock-rom-on-htc-hd2-video/
HEY DUDE I NEED HELP!!! I DID EVERYTHING U DID AND EVEN WAITED 2 HOURS BUT IT STILL STAYS STUCK ON THAT COOL COLORFULL BOOT ANIMATION
Which Android 4.0 build version and CWM partition layout did you install?
Beta 1!!!!!!! why????
Hey Jayce,
I was running CorDroid 2.2.1 then tried to upgrade to ICS 4.0 using your instructions as above.
It all works but as some users have already stated, ICS 4.0 it just hangs in the animation screen forever…
I have all the the Prerequisites as you’ve mentioned but tried to check the partition size..in MAGLDR Boot Menu:
2. Boot AD SD its keep saying “SD kernel Open failed” and when i check 3. Boot AD NAND it keeps saying “NAND kernel open failed”
Does this mean I will have to partition my SD card again?
Many Thanks
AsH
Boot AD SD failed is normal since you don’t have SD Android. But failed to boot AD NAND is not normal since you already install ICS.
So plz, what do you suggest I do???, Im a newbie and trying to find my way around….Thanks Jayce!
Take your time to study the installation guide.
Hi,
I just completed al the described steps, and successfully installed ICS on my HTC HD2.
Thanks a lot for your easy to understand tutorials, since i am not very experienced on these things.
It seems that the beta6.zip is VERY stable (a lot more than Win6,5) and i don’t care there are some things that aren’t working. now i at least have a phone that can call, text, email….
However i do have a question:
Is it possible to use the android market?
I seem to have some problems, when i want to download an application, i select download > accept and Download, thereafter the phone says:
” Fout ‘appx’ kan niet worden gedownload wegens een fout”
Meaning:
“‘appx’ can’t be downloaded due to a fault…”
I did every step described, and was connected to 3g + wifi….
Maybe its a not so smart question, but i appreciate your help!
HvdG
Android Market is working fine to me. Try to ask others at XDA see.
I figured it out, Thanks a lot!
thanx man it is working i am really happy thanx
Jayce hi,
First of all thanks for this post. its very useful and android is working nice except the camera..

Need to wait for developers to fix the camera issue. We can only wait unless you know how to fix it.
Hi Jayce,

Hey Jayce I installed beta5 and using it now. When I want to go in MAGLDR to update beta 7 it says unable to connect because of USB. When I connect it to my computer, I can see USB instead of Serial when I power on and press volume down button…
Please help me with it.
Even I am unable to get win 6.5 back…
You can use USB mass storage mode in MAGLDR and CWM.

I install the 4.0, beta7, 500mb.
All the steps, one by one. All fine. But now Im stock here in the grafic stuff after 1 hour, WTF???
What do I need to do??? 1 hour with the grafic stuff…….
500MB of what? How much CWM layout size did you install?
Hi,
Great work on the Icecream Sandwich. i downloaded your froyo before and it was fantastic. i’ve successfully downloaded and upload the Icecream Sandwich but its lagging. How do i make it faster? i mean the graphics and functions are all lagging. not as smooth as i wish it would be. how do i resolve it?
also my data connection through my local mobile service provider is not working. just to let you know, i’ve download the Beta1 version. if i download Beta2 would it make things faster?
Get the latest beta version. I did not test it personally but performance should be better and faster.
Thanks for the advise. i’ve down’oaded the Beta7 version and it runs really smooth and fast. on the other hand, my camera doesn’t work and i’m still not connected to the local data connection through my service provider. these are the only 2 things wrong with the Beta7 version. hope you can help.
Need to wait developers to fix them…
also what difference does the different sizes in partitions make? i went for the 250mb. should i go for the 500mb?
CWM layout partition? That is the place to store system files. No point to use bigger size if system files are only 200MB. You get lesser user disk space with bigger system size.
oh i see…. i went on ahead and downloaded the 150 partition. now my phone is stuck. how do i uninstall the 250 partition?
No need to uninstall. Just install 200M, it will replace it.
Thanks. at the moment its saying NAND kernal failed. so it won’t start. i’ll try to reinstall everything and hope for the best. please advice. thanks dude.
EUREKA!!!! Got it, thanks. but still haven’t got enough space to download from the market. Keep us posted Bro!!!
Hey Bro,
Saw that the Beta9 version is out. What are the improvements? have you tried it out?
Hello! I’ve installed many Android Versions allready an my HTC HD2 and they all where great. now i have followed your steps and installed Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Now my BIG QUESTION is: Can i do something to have “more memory” on the phone? because i just keep getting those >full memory< messages. I've allready tried (more than once) to partition my sd card (16 gb micro sd hc) but everytime it has not worked. the memory of the card will be shown as 13 gb free but the memory phone stays the same.. can you PLEASE!! help me on this one?!
Thanks!
You can try to find Android 4.0 ROM that use A2SD+ in XDA. This should solve low disk space issue. Low memory issue? I also have no idea.
Hi Jayce, you mean you have no idea how to make a partition on a sd card or if its possible to make one with this ROM? Can’t you help me and tell me what I’m doing wrong and why my disk space always stays the same although the partition has been made?
thanks!
I know how to make partition on SD card. But don’t know how to make the Android ICS ROM to use it.
So i installed it from sd card and rebooted it, and the only thing its doing is going on and off…does anybody know why? after magldr its shows another HTC screen and then keeps restarting…help please?
The usual questions… Which Android ROM version did you install? And CWM layout partition size?
I used the beta 6m before this I had the mod 3.0 and idk what cwm is?
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/15/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-v1-3-on-htc-hd2-video/
Okay sorry bout that its partitioned to 250m
Beta6 needs 200MB I believe. I have no issue with beta1 on 250MB.
And do I just go to cwm, advanced and change it there right?
No, you need to edit flash.cfg file.
I’m sorry kinda new to this and I dont know how to do that… and now my phone is stuck on the new htc screen not moving at all…
Just revert back to Android 2.3.x if you don’t know how to edit.
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/15/how-to-install-cwm-nand-android-on-htc-hd2-video/
Is there some where I can download that and just install from sd?
Android 2.3 i mean..
That Android 2.3 ROM is installed from SD card too.
Yes I used a diff sd card and no longer have it, is there anywhere i can download that rom in zip format so i can use usbmassstg to place it… any links? and thanks btw “) im an amateur..
Did you read the link that I gave you just now?
Please when will be camera ok? Because i cant making fotos, videos…. nothing. I am using it in slovak and all is ok, but camera not. Sorry for bad english i am 13 years old slovak.
Camera depends on developers. You can try Android 2.3 which has working camera.
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/15/how-to-install-cwm-nand-android-on-htc-hd2-video/
But will be camera ok? I can download android 2.3 but, if will be camera on 4.0 I will download update. So how it is? Will be camera, or not?
No time frame on make camera working on Android 4.0. We can only wait…
He,
I want to use the Beta 7, but it always starts again.
What do I have to do?
Hi Yorick, how much CWM layout partition did you install?
I’m not sure but I think two or three.
Huh? What do you mean?
yeah, I don’t know.
I thought you meant something else.
But, I don’t know what you mean with CWM layout partition…
Take your time to study.
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/15/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-v1-3-on-htc-hd2-video/
Alright, I know what you mean.
But what do I have to download?
150MB, 250MB or 400MB?
What did you download last time?
I just installed the 250 MB.
And it works now!
But I have very little internal memory left.
What can I do to get more internal memory?
Change flash.cfg in 250MB CWM partition layout. For system ya 250M to 200M. Then install it again. And Android ROM again.
How I can download files from PC in Beta6? And in what is new in Beta7?
Sorry, don’t understand ‘download files from PC in Beta6′.
Please refer to change log in XDA website for new feature of beta7.
How to download files from PC to HTC hd2 using usb. I have got beta6. Do you understand?
Refer to step 1.
i installed the version NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta7 but the camera is not working. any briliant idea?
Read first, then write. Camera is not working and we was talking about it.
srry were talking.
excellent work. keep us posted when it will work with a newly update…
I installed 4.0.1 from the phone, especially of the variance that is not going teme I waited 30-40 minutes is not going
Waiting to help respond to emergencies is a good idea, no matter
helo..first of all thanx alot for these easy steps dat made us install android so easily on our hd2…i just have one problem my camera is not working the camera application shows the error ”cannot connect to camera” can you hel me out with this please?
Camera is still not working. Known issue…
Hi jayce, i installed beta7, it’s working great. but if i suppose to play HD VIDEOS (1080&720Pixels) not playing properly in any video player(mob player,etc), video streaming not properly.. any idea….
Android 4.0 does not support 720p playback smoothly yet. And HD2 can’t play 1080p smoothly at all.
Thanks for all your videos they have been a lot of help to me. I have jusr one quick question… how do I know what kind of radio, Magldr and Hspl versions i have? Thank again have a good day
Refer to the guides. You can check HSPL and MAGLDR version but not radio.
Hi,
last week i installed ICS on my HD2, which was great! However, a few days ago my touch screen didn’t work anymore. but after a few hours it started working again. i experienced this a couple of times, and now the touch screen doesn’t work anymore.
I figured, i needed to reinstall the ROM. So i started your guide at step 11.
But the problem didn’t disappear.
My question is:
How do i completely reinstall your guide, including the prerequisites (which i completed via your guide)?
Thanks in advance,
HvdG
Restore to WinMo first. Then reinstall all again.

Hi there,
I have a small problem:
Everything works untill I have to reboot it (when the screen gives some weird colours).
I waited the whole day, but it remains at this screen!
do you know what’s wrong?
Greetz
Sorry, I am not sure what is the weird colours screen that you mentioned about. Can explain in detail?
Well its the screen that is supposed to pop up.
in your video you fast forward this
In the video it starts at about 1:50
I tried to install different drivers
and to reinstall everything but nothing works…
just to be safe:
What driver and capacity did you use?
Oh, you have boot loop issue.
How much CWM partition layout did you install?
I have seriously no idea!
I think the biggest one
What do you prefer?
200MB.
okay but how do i reinstall evrything?
because everytime i start up my HTC
it gives the weird colouring screen!
Nope. Install CWM then install Android ROM.
Hey this is a great update, but whenever i plug in my usb i dont know how to turn into disk drive anymore =\
Also camera doesnt work ^.^
When do u think this will be done? like the camera problem etc .. so i can use it as an everyday OS ,… its really awesome btw. good job
It is depended on developers. No body know…
I was looking at the video and planned to port the rom over, but i still want to keep my current custom rom also, is there a way to dual boot?
Yes, dual boot NAND WP7 and SD Android. But I did not try it on Android 4.0.
well is there a way to dual boot android 2.3.5 and 4.0, or is dual boot only wp7 and andriod?
Yes, NAND Android and SD Android.
alright thanks man home come i never thought about that haha, two thumbs up for the help and the quick response, keep the good work up man
Hey beta 8 works the best it even boots up faster thanks for posting this my brother gave me his HD2 he was just gonna throw it away wait till he see this.
Man it’s even loading up all of my apps that I have on my Photon 4g!!!!
how about the camera? tetering, etc..
no camera is still not working but seems that everything else is,it automatically downloaded all the apps I have on my photon 4g as well as all my contacts and they all seem to work except the one that work with camera,even Netflix works you tube etc…. out side of the camera I feel like I have a new phone,I wasn’t bold enough to try this on my Photon,but like I said before my brother was gonna trash it so I gave it a shot glad i did. don’t have a sim card to play with since I’m with Sprint at the moment so I cant comment on how the phone calls work. But if your gonna do it use beta 8! that’s the latest one.
Hi Jayce,
Is there a way to update from beta to beta instead of clean install? so I can keep all my setting and apps.
What are some of the common skin pack for android? icons and theme wise.
Thanks, love your site.
Yes, just install Android ROM without wipe data and cache.
Did not research on the theme. No idea.
Thank you.
Is camera working in Beta9?
Camera is working but buggy in beta10.
Camera is extremely buggy. The HAL camera update is supposed to fix the problem. Jayce, can you show me the installation process for the driver update?

Hi, Jayce,
I installed Beta10 onto my HTC HD2, running ok, but the battery draining a bite fast, 100% only for 4-5 hours, any thing can be done to avoid the draining as i already terminated the unnecessary application, such as wifi, google locaton, google searching, and gps, etc. secondly, what is the difference between ASOP Beta10 vs CM9 both from tytung ? i am confused and would like to know which one is better ? pls adv.
Appreciated.
I have no idea as I did not test CM9 build yet.
how to update the following FILE into the AOSP BETA10 ?
ICS_Camera_HAL_for_2.6_kernel_(credit_to_rapmv78)
Just copy to sd card and use 8. AD RECOVERY to run on zip open from sd card or update zip ?
Pls guide.
Appreciated.
Yes, Raymond.
I used the beta 10 version but it freazes on the black htc screen, why?? please help
Hi Christo, how much CWM layout size did you install?
Hi Jayce,
I just finished downloading and installing the process as in your video and website. I used the beta 10 version and 400mb partition CWM. What is the normal booting time because i already waited for 2 hours for the booting to finish. I think i have problem somewhere. Need your help to resolve the problem. Appreciate for your feedback.
Please use 220MB CWM partition for beta10.
I already have cyanogenmod 2.3.7 on my HD2 and I just want to update it to the current version. I copied the zip to my SD card and extracted to the SD card as well but I left the .zip too just in case. When I select 8. AD Recovery, it says no boot sources…what am I doing wrong?
Are you using ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3?
Actually I’m downloading it right now. Which one do you recommend? 150, 250, or 400?
220MB for beta10.
Everything worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
many thanks Jayce…. I got now my Ice Cream Sandwich in my HD2….. Well Done……….
Hi Jayce!
You did a great job!
I have one question: How can I extend the storage space of 250 mb? I downloaded 5-6 app from market and now it says there is no space available for downloading other apps…
Use smaller CWM layout size like 220MB. This will free up 30MB compare to 250MB CWM layout.
But i think it’s still not enough. I was thinking about 1 GB…
Need to wait for A2SD+ support on ICS ROM then.
i’ll compelety install ics on my hd2,but its hang on boot page and restar again and reapeat this over and over.please help me!!!
Hi zeus007, how much CWM partition size did you install?
heey you have a nice tut but i cant find How to Partition pls help me please
I brought my HD2 already rooted, and running gingerbread. I wanna upgrade it to ics now. Is it safe to say that I have the radio, magldr and everything already and i just need to follow your instructions. Btw when i use rom manager to back up my current rom, it just reboots skipping the actual process. And when I do it manually i go to my bootloader (magldr 1.13) and i go to recovery it says” Cannot read ramdisk image” Please any help, IM dying to do this.
Do you have all the same components and versions in prerequisites?
Well to tell you the truth I dont know. I didnt hack it myself so I dont know what the man did to the HD2. It originally a windows phone and he put gingerbread on so I assume he did the prerequisites. If I have to redo them I will, but if I were to do them twice would damage anything?
Only install those that you don’t have. No need to reinstall if version is the same.
Yes, but youre not understanding I dont know which I do and which I dont have. If somebody already put a custom rom on my phone does that mean I have them? My gingerbread is on nand does that help?
Btw when i bootload it and try to go to ac recovery it gives me an error saying “caanot read ramdisk image” and when i try to backup in rom manager it just reboots without saving anything. Please try to answer all my questions.
No. No.
I think I just understood something. I clicked the videos for the prerequisites, and if you want to put magldr you need the custom radio and SPL-2.08.HSPL. Well I have magldr 1.13 so I must have those two as well. My only question now is how come when i try to back up from rom manager or magldr, it says cannot read ramdisk image. If you could answer that you would be more super then you already are. Thanks in advance.
I do not use ROM Manager. No idea. I use CWM to backup / restore.
Thank you so much. It turned out i broke my cwm recovery because of rom manager. So I fixed it and followed your video, thanks a billion.
Hello Jayce,
I used:
- HSPL4
- 2.14.50.04 and later 2.15.50.14
- magldr 1.13
- recovery 150mb and later 250mb
- beta 10
I f*cked up i think. Id did all the steps (my win7-laptop would not open CustumRUU so i did that on my winXP-pc) and the other steps on my win7-laptop). When i installed beta 10 it went oke till the startup of the phone. The HTC-letters in green kept standing on the screen.
Since then i tried the 2.15.50.14 and the 250mb. The problem is now that what ever i install, i dont get the black screen with the choices where you can scroll with the vol-button.
- it starts to the green HTC en then does nothing
- when vol-down & power:
PB81100 SS-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0×05
CotullaHSPL 0×50
what to do now??
I tried all the steps in the right sequence on 1 PC (my XP-pc) Maybe that was the problem, because i did 1 step on the XP-pc and the rest on the win7-laptop.
But i still cant get in to the android flash mode from where you can run the recovery.
Please help!
Can you load MAGLDR?
No.. I get the 123456
go go go screen. Olso when i have tried to reinstall MGLDR
I think that it is the MAGLDR screen yes. But i cant stop it or choose something, it just boots android ics. But evry time its gets stuck at the green HTC sign.
Try to restore back to Windows Mobile. And restart the whole process again.
How do i do that?
I followed your how – to, to restore windows mobile. It crashes while loading. I start the update with the power-button and it starts running. After 3 minutes is crashes… Then it auto-restarts and i see now the red-green-blue-white with other specs:
SS-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0×05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0×50
SHiitttt I am a noob and i am realy afraid i f*uckt – up the device…
I tried to restart (vol-down+power) and now in my red-green-blue-white screen is in yellow letters in the green section: “Upgrade ROM code error Please try again”
pffff.. I had the wrong ROM. Its done, and working.
Now going to try to get android ics again.
Thanks!!
Hey Jayce!

You need Windows 7 mobile device center (32 or 64 bit). Also there are good “how to vids on youtube”
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=3182
I’m planning on upgrading to ICS 4.0 too and was having the same problem just getting it connected to my pc. My cause was a damaged usb cable in the end.
Also, read through comments on this page. You find the answer to almost anything.
Jayce, great website,. really helpful!
hi all! do u have any update about how its works with the HTC hd2?? for example, is it better than 2.2 or 2.3 ?
ICS on HD2 is getting better each day. Thanks to all the developers. Better than 2.2 or 2.3? You need to try it to find out yourself.
when i want to apply /sdcard/update.zip.
why does it say Installation aborted?
plz help!!
What kind of update is that?
thanks for trying to help me
The update is 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
You need to check with its ROM chef then.
how do i chech the Rom?
Ask the ROM chef…
how to i ask the Rom Chef?
And what is the Rom Chef?
Ask him at XDA website.
The person that create this Android ROM.
4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is ok already?
Better.

o sorry Jayce…
here my mistake, i am using MAGLDR V1.11 and now upgrade in on v1.13…
Dear Jayce…
here i install all thing….but i thing i have getting problem now……i don’t know where i did mistake….i thing i am confused on ClockworkMod Recovery Partition Size….after finished install DFT MAGLDR Bootloader v1.13 then i installed 150 MB Partition….is it suitable for my MIUI v 2.2?
and i did not do any thing at that time. have i install anything other in SD card?or have to partition on my SD card???? then i put NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10 on SD card and do as your video….and on formatting process i saw there were :
No app2sd partition found. skipping format of /sd-ext
so i think i have to Partition for my SD?
and anything have to copy on SD???
please help me…….
Yes, 150MB is okay for MIUI. But you need 220MB for ICS beta10. No need to have app2sd partition.
Thanx a lot……
Its work done.
Thank you so much again….
uday yarr maira hd2 bhe android mai kar de plzzzz
can we do the partitioning in ClockworkMod Recovery, or thru HD Toolkit?
You need to reinstall CWM layout with PC. Can’t do it on CWM. Did not try HD Toolkit before., No idea.
So, should I purge everything with Task29, or just install the 250M Recovery?
Depend what do you want to do…
im trying to get my contacts imported but it is not working . i need help!!!!!!asap. i have tried to import them through google gmail account

Hi~ I have tried it… but it has load to long…almost a day…still stay at the loading screen may u fix it?
Hi Alvin, how much CWM layout size did you install?
400m
You need to use 220MB.
From your video it seems kinda laggy. But in other video (which uses the same distro) its really snappy. what’s ur personal scale? From 1-5, 1 being freaking laggy and 5 being silky smooth.
Yes, beta1 is slow. Latest build should be better now.

Hi Jayce,
I tried to follow the instructions on how to installa ice cream 4.0
Everythings seemed ok untill the final reboot, i keep on starring at the startup icon (just like in the video) but it stays like that.
The partitions i chose for the 2nd option.
Do you maybe know what im doing wrong?
Thank you in advance!
Which ROM version did you install? Use 220MB CWM layout for beta10.
I first tried it with the 250, i just restored it with the default rom and tried it with the 400 and the same thing.
It keeps on hanging on the start up animation.
Please how can i use the 220 MB CWM?
Create it – http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/26/how-to-create-custom-clockworkmod-recovery-partition-size-for-htc-hd2/

So whenever I try to put the .zip file in it randomly stops and says to specify area to which you want to place file. I’m putting it in my SD card using MassStg, am I doing something wrong? Help appreciated.
If USB MassStg is not working properly, try to copy it with SD card reader instead.
Does this rom support a2sd+
Not yet as far as I know.
everything works perfectly except for the camera on this 4.0.3 ICS system
hi jayce,
thanks for making this tutorial, the first part of this work is so much easier thanks to you.
now here’s my problem: at step 14 i select the NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10.zip and press call. however instead of starting to install things my phone goes right back to the clockworkmod recovery screen. i’ve installed the 250mb version.
what should i do?
btw and this is probably irelevant but the ClockworkMod Recovery is v3.0.0.5 and not v1.3 but as this is the same in your video this should not be a problem right?
Try 220MB CWM layout on beta10.
sorry, accidentaly started a new question.
where can i get that one, its not on xda developers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
Please refer to my CWM v1.3 installation guide.
it didn’t work but i started all over again and that did work so i now have ICS, thanks for your help!
Can I root the Android4.0 Ice cream to my LG Marquee from Boost mobile??????

You still need to install CWM 1.3 220MB.
Hello,
It works!
Thank you very much!
im not working on the android 4.0
keep loading in boot mode..how to settle this matter
Hi bryan, how much CWM layout size did you install?
400MB
i should use how many mb?
Hi bryan, 220MB for beta10.
OK I TRY ..THANKS
I pre-excuse myself for maybe not reading the instructions enough. But before I update I’d like to know if my phone is able to being turned into an android. Here is its information:
OS: 5.2.21869
Manilaversion:2.5.19211619.0
ROM-version: 1.66.413.2 (76641) SVE
Radio-version:2.07.51.22_2
Protocol-version: 15.32.50.07U
(Not sure about the translations, essentially swedish)
I know, for example, that the radio version may have to be updated. But I’m uncertain that my OS or even my phone can simply be turned into an android without any issues.
Can anyone please give me some input? I want to learn, so please bother!
Yes, you can install Android as long as you can install all the prerequisites.

Hi Maher, how much CWM layout size did you install?
when i installed CWM i haven’t given any choice to choose the size . so please can you explain to me where can i find the size or where can i change it ??
Thanks
i opened flash.cfg file by notepad and find the following information :
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 8M
system ya 400M
cache ya 8M
userdata ya|asize|hr all size so i think it’s 400 M and the CWM only need 250 M right ??
Depend on the version of ICS that you install. Beta10 needs 220MB.
i modified the details of flash file to be the same in your guide and it worked, thank you very much Jayce.
unfortunately, there is another problem that the WiFi doesn’t see any of the available networks .
HI…….i did everything in the instructions but when I reboot it, it just freezes on the HTC logo ….HELP please
I downloaded the beta 10 which was shown as the download link “Download NexusHD2 Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Beta1 NAND ROM for HTC HD2 here.” when i pressed this link it downloaded beta 10.
Hi Sumit, please use 220MB CWM layout size for beta10.
OMG thank you so much!!!!! It actually works!!
hey i have a problem i did NOT put the android zip on sd card….and i can not finish the last part WHAT CAN I DO?
Copy it to your SD card.
Hi, I am a newbie to this. I have a Tmobile HD2. I wanted to know if doing the above steps to install ICS will wipe out windows 6.5? I am looking for something like a dual boot where I can have my windows 6.5 and ICS on the phone. I dont want to wipe out windows 6.5 and the data in the as this is my main phone.
Appreciate if anyone can let me know if it is possible to have both.
thanks in advance.
Yes, it will replace WinMo.

Hi hesham, how much CWM layout size did you install?
it’s installed just fine , i reinstall CWM with 256mb
, now i install apps , and it’s works awesime with me , but there is alittle internal space , can i install CWM with 400mb, and what will happens if i did???
It won’t able to boot into Android if you use 400MB. Use 220MB, so you can have extra 30MB on user disk space.
sorry my friend , but how can i do it ???
Please refer to CWM installation guide.

Hi i own a HTCHD2 with 6.5 windows, and i am a IT professional. since i am new to all this . i was very much interested in installing the android 4.0.1 ICS. could you provide me the detailed links to take a complete backup of the existing windows on my original ROM on my phone so also to install the new 4.0.1 ICS .
I would also need to know whether it would affect my carrier Zain (kuwait) for any issues. etc.
when is the final release expected for the android 4.0.1 since it is still on beta.
regards,
Sorry, I don’t have Windows Mobile backup ROM. However, you can download official WinMo ROM from HTC website.
No idea about your carrier too.
