HTC HD2 is going to be phone of the year 2011 again. It came with Windows Mobile 6.5 in year 2009 and running Android 2.2 Froyo on SD card on year 2010. Just got NAND Android treatment last month. And here come Windows Phone 7 on HTC HD2. Who dare to say that 5 buttons’ HTC HD2 cannot support Windows Phone 7 now?
Prerequisites
If you have Samsung Kies installed, whenever you plug in USB cable between Samsung Galaxy S II and PC, Samsung Galaxy S2 will be detected as GT-I9100 in Computer. And Samsung Kies will be loaded. You can disable Samsung Kies from loaded automatically by turn off Auto-run ~ Run Samsung Kies automatically when device is connected at Samsung Kies Tools – Preferences. You can read / write your Samsung Galaxy S2 files in this MTP Application mode. However, certain operation like unzip file to SGS2 directly is not possible in this mode.
Windows Phone 7 Mango is available on HTC HD2. As per requested, here is the step by step video tutorial to install Windows Phone 7 7004 build XBmod-Yuki ROM on HTC HD2. It is almost like the previous guide to install WP7 but with updated components. This is the foundation ROM to upgrade to Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. As usual, you need to install several components first before installing WP7 7004 ROM.
Prerequisites
Note – Do backup your SD card data. Windows Phone 7 will delete everything and lock your SD card. You can’t access it anymore at PC (not detected at all). No worry, you still can unlock and use it afterward with this guide ~ How to unlock & revive SD card after install Windows Phone 7? However, some reported that they failed to recover their locked SD card. Do take note…
Do take your time to study these guides. Then install them one by one.
I love to try new stuffs. Just managed to install Team Win Recovery Project ~ TWRP 2.0 on my Amazon Kindle Fire. And managed to install CM7 ROM on Kindle Fire too. Play around with TWRP 2.0 Recovery. Backup Kindle Fire stock ROM. Wiping data… And I did one thing that I think it might cause issue. And it did. Selected reboot into recovery in CM7. As a result, my Kindle Fire keep boot into TWRP 2.0 Recovery even without pressing power button. In short, bootmode was set to recovery 5001 by default. So you need to change it back to normal 4000 bootmode.
Why there are bloatwares on my HTC One X? Yes, this is the question you will ask after upgraded HTC One X system update 1.28.707.10. You will find bloatware like AMPed 2.0, deF!ND, Mobile TV, My SingTel, SingTel IDEAS and Starhub MUSIC there. No worry, just reboot your HTC One X. And these bloatware will be gone forever…
