AMAK says: May 12, 2011 at 12:58 am Hello, Thank you very much for your effort. I have HD2 with Rom 1.48.405.2 WWE, Radio 2.05.51.05_2. Would I be able to follow the above procedure to install Android 2.3.4 or I need more steps before that. Is it fully functioning? Thank you for your help. Reply

raj says: May 12, 2011 at 5:02 pm Yes its fully functional and there is no bug in the rom. one little thing that i have noticed is that the phone does not ring as soon as call arrives its delay by about 5second that is not a big worry Reply

raj says: May 12, 2011 at 5:14 am its all clear if you have flashed any android rom on any device. but if you are totally nob then you are going to find things hard Reply

AMAK says: May 12, 2011 at 6:17 pm Thank you. This will be my first Android flash. So refering to my earlier question on the Rom & Radio versions I have, I do not need any more steps and this guide will cover it all? Reply
