  21. Hai Jayce,
    I have CyanogenMod 7.1.0 (android version: 2.3.7) on my htc hd2. It really works great, except some bugs and a slow startup. I want to update to CyanogenMod 9 Android 4.0 version soon but I want to know How to keep my apps, data and app data files on sd when I installed the new version.. example; I have for example now angry birds on my phone, when I updated my phone I want to have angry birds on the new version with my save file.. How to do this?

  24. hai Jaycees..

  27. Hey Jayce I asked a question before in the pics 4.0.3 and I sed it was slow so u referred me to dis website and I’m just wondering dus everything work if not please list the things that don’t work.

  30. Hi,

    I have a question on the my HD2 Quadrant Score. I am recently installed CM7 7.2.0 RC1 bravo (Typhoon v.3.8.0-magldr) with Kernel Version:2.6.32.15_tytung_r14 [build number:GWK74] Android Version:2.3.7 – running with Quadrant Score 1040 only. After Overclock using CM7, only Score 1150 only. May I know why sooo much compare to yours 2.5k++ and someone even reach 2800++? How to reach 2k++?

    My mem info (avail/total): 180MB/410MB only not as what you mention avail reach 230MB?

    Thank for your valuable infor….

  34. hi jayce i already done all Ur step but i wanna know that why my HTC HD2 miss a lot of drivers? what should i do now ?

  35. Hi Jayce, im a total newbie with xda and with android on HD2. I would like to install it using your method, which ROM do you suggest? so that everything is working. does not have to be ICS, but would be great if it were. can you please post a link to its download and the CWM size I will need? Thank you immensely.

  37. Hi

    am running sd version of android ver 4.0.4 icecreamtosti, everything seems to be working fine but the camera, it says insert sd card before using camera and no option to mount or unmount sd card, what could be the fix for this? Tks

  38. Or could u advice which sd version of ics is more stable to use in htc hd2 and pls the download link also … : )

  39. Hello,
    when i charge it my battery % doesn’t go above 40% i try clearing battery stats alll those radio 2.15 nothing happens and battery drains from 40% t0 10% in less than 30 mins

  40. I have an HTC HD2 cyanogen 7 mod T-Mobile. (Gingerbread)
    I want to know if Instagram is an issue for this mod.? I can’t seem to find it in the market and links to download it don’t seem to work. Any tips clues or ideas. ??

  41. Hello, first of all thank you so much for this helpful website. What you are doing is a great thing 🙂

    Now off to other things. I have installed NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10 on my HTC HD2. I followed all the steps and only have 3 issues.

    1) The battery life is way to short. It won’t last a full day.
    2) I can’t seem to view netflix, the app downloads just fine, but it won’t show the video.
    3) The camera is not working well. It freezes up ( so I don’t use it).

    The problem that bothers me the most is #1 (battery life too short). Is there a fix for this? Besides the issues I have, I think this is a great OS for the phone. I didn’t want my HD2 to be thrown away. Again thank you for breathing life into my HD2.

      • Jayce, you’re awesome guy!!!!!!! I didn’t think you would reply so quick!

        I’m very excited! I downloaded another ROM ( NexusND2-ICS-CM9-HWA-V2.3) and followed the previous steps to install it, but i’m running into problems.

        Steps

        1) HSPL4 (ok)
        2) Radio (ok)
        3) MAGLDR (ok, but I don’t get a black menu with options 1-12 like the first time. After this step the phone just restarts and is ready to use, not ready to reprogram)
        4) Recovery (not yet here)
        5) Install new ROM (Not yet here)

        Because I already have done all the steps with my current OS, do I have to follow steps 1-5 again, or can I jump right into step 5 and if so how? I’m sure you’re a busy person. Can you please, when you have time, get back to me. I know its allot to ask. Thanks again!

        • You can skip HSPL4, radio and MAGLDR installation. But you need to install the correct CWM layout size for NexusND2-ICS-CM9-HWA-V2.3. Then install Android ROM.

          • Sir, I sorry, I don’t mean to go back and forth. But I don’t know how to install CWM and then install Android ROM.

            What are the steps to re-installing CWM? I’ve tried but don’t know how. Like I said before, how can I get the black menu that gives me the 1-12 options from the MAGLDT? Once I get the MAGLDR menu, I can figure it out. Thanks 🙂

    Greetings Coty

  46. Hi, I have Install CLK ,but i am stuck also in the command “waiting for device” message appears and dont go away how to resolve that … and also u have a break point between device driver and fastboot. i have download it from ”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KoOWyHZMNo”. you can see it 🙁

  47. Jayce can you simplify this installation step fot me.i’m a beginner

    Please use at least 170MB system partition and at least 2MB cache partition.
    Please refer to ksubedi’s HD2 NAND Toolkit and/or mskip’s guide.
    Cache partition (/dev/block/mtdblock4) is only mounted and used by CWM.
    Cache partition size is not important because the data partition (/dev/block/mtdblock5) is used as the cache space when running Android.
    If your HD2 has bad NAND blocks, you may need larger partitions.
    Wipe
    Wipe Data/Factory Reset while doing a fresh install. (Optional: also delete /sdcard/Android folder or format your SD card if you have any strange issue.)
    Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache while upgrading from an old version and wanting to retain data.
    Flash this ROM.

    and i’m using cLK
