Wow… The legendary HTC HD2 is still alive and kicking. HTC HD2 may not able to get Windows Phone 8 Apollo update. But you can enjoy WP7.8 ROM (OS version 7.10.8835.35) on HTC HD2 now. And it is fully unlocked. Of course it is loaded with other goodies like Ultrashot Root Manager, WM Device Center, USB Video, Nokia Camera Extras, Nokia Drive… Personally, I still prefer Android over Windows Phone. But there is lot of HTC HD2 owners who love Windows Phone will like to download and install this WP7.8 ROM for their HTC HD2.
I did not try this WP7.8 ROM for HTC HD2 personally. Besides, the download link is temporary removed at the time of writing this (no worry, it will back soon). Hopefully, my WP7 installation guide is still working for this latest Windows Phone 7.8. As usual, do get more information at XDA website. Enjoy…

hi jayce my good friend

thanks again man π
Hey Ali?! could you pass me the link for that wp7.5 tango HD2O youΒ΄re using.
Jayce, IΒ΄ve been following you for a while. thanks for all your tips!
Dani
hi Dani,here the link : http://www.rhiffsta.ch/HD2O_Roms/HD2O_2.00b4_8773.rar
this version is full unlocked with DFT BT file transfer ,
but i think its better to dual boat it whit android 4.0.1
π
Full unlocked means no need for activation code?
thanks man!
no it dose not meas like it!
an activation code is needed,
you can get it from microsoft for free by calling them! i had called to them and got one!
if you could not do this i can give one to you
I tried MS before but they didnt give me one. hd2 was not a supported phone for them… :/
pm to dani.chops@gmail.com if you spare one!
Thanks a lot man!
Dani
hey man!! π don’t say theme you want for an hd2! you should say you want for your htc hd7 windows phone 7.5 mango π
then they’ll give you one!
Hello expert guys,
I have installed WP7.8 from this page and I was successful except for the activation code. I have tried everything with Microsoft calling and other stuffs.
If anyone can give me an Activation Code that will be a glass of cold water in hell fire for me.

greetz from The Netherlands
Hi NIels, just install it like you did previously.
When I try to go back, I the the message, and take 8 “AD Recovery” I get a red line ” No boot sources” how to go from that? The zip file I want to install is on the SD-card?
Many thanks, Erik
Hi Erik, did you install CWM?
Hi,
Windows 7.8 installed on my HD2 with no problems.
Now how do I install additional programs without going through the Marketplace?
What is the difference between cab and xap files?
I am a noob
KP
https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/02/14/download-tom-xap-installer-v1-2-for-windows-phone-7/
cab is for Windows Mobile. xap is for Windows Phone.
Hi,
Find the phone easy to use. But could not install any xap files. Zune , .net 4 , windows SDK all installed. Phone able to connect with zune but xap files wont install from tomxap. Just keeps saying installing , seems like tom xap not able to connect with device
Did I omit anything that I should have done?
Thanks
I face this issue myself too. So I dump Windows Phone on HTC HD2. Use Android at the end…
Issue solved. TomXap was the problem, not the computer or phone.
Installed several apps successfully using multiple xap.
My problem was with TomXap … but Multiple xap is also not working for me it says that the connection is not there with the usb
I checked the phone its unlocked as the ChevronWp7.exe was giving option or relocking rather than unlocking
What to do?? π
Thank you for your prompt reply.
So far so good and has not froze on me.
Call quality is good. A little learning curve here.
KP
My bad, Its on again and i’m back on Android .- Many Thanks

Hello Jayce,
I have T Mobile HTC HD2 LEO Model which i got unlocked by friends. Is it posible for me to upgrade WP 6.5 to WP8.
If it is posible; could you please provide installer and step by step process to do that.
Thanks…
Sorry Mayank, I have no idea that HTC HD2 can support WP8.
Hello Jayce.
I’ve tried to transport the HTC HD2 WP 7.8 to my HD2 but seems there is a error. I’ve couple of times tried and also rom is running,but after it finished the transported rom says ΓΏou have no
sdcard/mightly be broken or your SDcard doesn’t be recognized. I’ll be think i have to buy a other SDcard but i don’t know which SDcard i can use for my HD2. I use no a SDcard 16 GB and also i’ll tried to formatting my card (with succes),but the same error comes again (also with the WP roms 7/7.5 and 7.8). I’m now use the EVO/HD2 rom .zip and these .zip rom works perfect via AD recovery,and also other Android roms works fine (almost all) onto my phone.
I hope you’ve the right answer(s)
Many greets from Bertus Netherlands
I am using SanDisk and Kingston SD cards. Both are working fine on Windows Phone.
Thanks Jayce for your answer. I’ve checked my SDcard 16GB and also these card is Kingston,but i think what is going wrong. I read a turtorial and that says “You’ve to be change your SDcard into FAT32 format”. And when this working i’ll be write back a letter.
I wish you for now a Merry Christmas and a very lucky and good newyear (2013)
