Id like to start off by thanking all the developers and contributors over at xda-
developers.com for making the transition to Android an an HTC HD2 a possibility. All
credits go to them for their hard work and dedication.
Here I have consolidate every possible resource regarding the installation of the

Lets begin, shall we?
Phase 1
The first thing we need to do is setup your HTC HD2 with the latest HSPL4. This is
what will allow us to install the modified Android ROMs, or even Windows Phone 7.
Download:HSPL4.zip
Once downloaded, extraxt the HS4PL.exe file somewhere accessible. Youll be
running it shortly.
Step by Step Guide to Install HS4PL:
1. With phone powered off, press and hold the volume down button (dont let
go) and power on your phone (while holding down the volume down button)
2. Your HD2 will load into a Red, Green, Blue and White screen bootloader.
This is normal.
3. There youll see your current HTC HD2 SPL version displayed on the red bar.
4. Connect USB cable from PC to phone.

is that you have SPL-2.08.HSPL installed on your HD2, which we already did in
Phase 1. Well be using the latest 2.15.50.14 Radio ROM version, but you can try
others as well, as different ones may work better with your mobile carrier/service
provider. To change the Radio ROM simply just repeat the process with a different
one.HEREis the Radio ROM list.
Download Radio ROM:Leo_Radio_2.15.50.14europe.rar
(You will need WinRAR to extract it)

these steps. Again, very similar to Phase 1.

12.Once again, Success!! Wow, youre getting pretty good at this! Give yourself
a hand, were almost there!
Phase 4
For this Phase well be installingClockworkMod Recovery (CWM for short) on you
HTC HD2. This is definitely a must-have tool, as most of the NAND Android ROMs
are in CWM zip format. Youll need to use ClockworkMod Recovery to install these
zip ROMs from an SD card. Not only that, but ClockworkMod Recovery can also
make full system backups and restore using Nandroid. Isnt that awesome!?
Now, CWM comes in 3 different flavors 150MB, 250MB, and 400MB the one to
choose depends on the requirements of the ROM well be using. For this guide well
be using the 250MB partition, as its pretty sufficient for the majority of the ROMS out
there. The bigger the partition size, the less space youll have to store files.
Technically its best to choose a size thats just enough for the ROM Which is why
ROM authors will specify the exact partition size needed. If you want a custom sized
partition youll have to manually edit the flash.cfg filebut thats not recommended
unless you know what youre doing. Lets stick with the 250MB flavor for now.
Lets begin!
Download:ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3 250MB
Once downloaded, extract the files to your desktop and follow these steps.
1. Power on your phone and dont let go of the power button. Keep it pressed.
2. DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded. Once its loaded you may let go of
the power button.
3. Use the Volume Down button to scroll down to option, 5. USB Flasher.
4. Then press the Call button to load USB Flasher mode.
5. Connect the USB cable from PC to phone.
6. You should see Wait USBUSB on your phones screen.
7. On your PC, find the extracted folder, right click on DAF.exe and select
Run as administrator. Again, you XP ladies and gents just double click.
8. Click Yes if your User Access Control bothers you once again.
9. Follow onscreen instructions to install.
10. Phone will be rebooted after installation is finished.
