The HTC HD2 was a Windows Mobile Phone. However it can run different phone operating systems including Android. Originally the choice was to run a single version of Android instead of Windows Mobile (using MAGLDR) or to boot from Windows Mobile to Android running on the SD card (for example using Portadroid) by executing CLRCAD.exe and HaRET.exe (Handheld Reverse Engineering Tool) bootloader. The problem with running both Windows Mobile and Android on the same phone is that EXT4 had to be held as a file on the SD card (using FAT32) which is slower. With NativeSD, your SD card is partitioned, or split, into two with the first partition being the FAT32 and the second partition as EXT4. The advantages are, you can still run Windows Mobile and use the FAT32 partition, Android runs much better (faster, with fewer problems and lower battery consumption), you can have as many different versions of Android as you have space on your card and all the operating systems can use the same data in the FAT32 partition. As you keep your original data and Windows Mobile programs on the existing FAT32 partition it is very easy to try NativeSD, including different Android ROMs, but still keep Windows Mobile always available to run any legacy programs that you must have.
This thread is about installing, running and maintaining NativeSD from Windows Mobile (WM6.5). If you are running a different operating system, please visit the appropriate thread listed in one of the posts below or the main NativeSD Rom Boot Script for HD2 forum:
