How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 with ClockWorkMod Recovery
(updated 25 May 2011)​
Prerequisites
HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL or HSPL4 (Better use HSPL3. HSPL4 still has issues or errors on some devices, so use it at your own risk).
Radio that support 576 RAM (ex. radio ROM 2.15)
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader
ClockworkMod Recovery
It's advisable to copy the NAND Android ROM zip file to the root of your SD card, before start, because some people face problems to do this after doing the first steps of the process. If you don't do it then you can do it later using a card reader or doing this:
In MAGLDR choose option: #4 USB Mass Stg
or
In CWM choose option: mounts and storage option
Make sure that you have all the prerequisites installed.
STEPS:
A1: Install HSPL3
or
A2: Install HSPL4 (HSPL4 still has issues or errors on some devices, so use it at your own risk).
B: Install radio ROM 2.15
C: Install MAGLDR on HTC HD2
D: Install ClockworkMod Recovery (2 methods, choose the one you like)

B: Install Custom Radio ROM
Prerequisites
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
In order to flash custom radio ROM, you need to have HSPL3 installed on your HTC HD2. By the way, I used Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 on my guide. You can use it or any other HTC HD2 Radio ROM version.
HTC HD2 has 576 MB physical RAM but was reduced by software to 512 MB only. And custom Windows Mobile ROM + radio 2.07 or above can unlock it to be 576 MB again. Certain custom Windows Mobile ROM need higher radio version than your phone. And NAND Android requires it too. So you need to install custom radio ROM (if you don’t have the correct radio version).
Step by Step Guide
1. Power off your phone.
2. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
3. It will load into bootloader.
4. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
5. Take off the battery.
6. Power on your phone.
7. I have R 2.06.51.07 at bottom of the screen with green HTC Logo.
8. Connect USB cable from PC to phone after Windows Mobile loaded.
9. Select ‘ActiveSync’ and click ‘Done’.
10. Open Radio Leo 2.15.50.14.rar with 7-Zip.
11. Copy CustomRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh to desktop.
12. Execute CustomRUU.
13. Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
14. Follow onscreen instructions to install.
15. Bootloader will be loaded with USB status during starting of installation. (~10 minutes)
16. Phone will be rebooted after installation finished.
17. You should have R 2.15.50.14 at bottom of the screen with green HTC Logo.
18. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
19. That’s all.
C: Install MAGLDR
In order to install NAND Android on HTC HD2, you must install DFT MAGLDR Bootloader first. And the good news ~ both LEO512 and LEO1024 are supported. This means US T-Mobile HD2, Europe, Asia and the rest of the world’s HTC HD2 are supported.
Note – by installing MAGLDR, you cannot boot into Windows Mobile anymore. So everything on your phone is gone…
Prerequisites

Just below are the files where you can download directly, exept for the radio, that you can get it here: Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
(If you are going for the 2nd method of ClockWorkMode, then depending on what type of roms you plan on using, you should download the partition size based on the following:
150MB Partition - For bare roms including CyanogenMod, AOSP, and MiUI
[*]250MB Partition - For Standard sense roms including Desire and EVo based ROMs, can also be used for some squashed HD builds
[*]400MB Partition - For Larger roms including unsquashed Desire HD and Z roms, ROMs REQUIRE data2sd for EU HD2 with 512MB NAND)

Well played sir and thanks for putting in the time to write this guide. Perhaps a passing mod would care to sticky this, either here or in a HD2 forum?
BTW, have an E-cookie for what is probably the best 1st post i've ever seen here

Totally agree. Even though I personally don't need this guide, I've still thanked you because I appreciate the time and effort you've put in, and that's just a brilliant 1st post!
Welcome to xda mate

+1 ....awesome Ist post, very useful for many.

Great guide!

Dear friend Gn,
thank you for your guide it is very detailed and precise but despite that fact
my ignorance(or stupidity) did't let me make the work. My mem is still 448mb, i thought after making the first two steps i'll had 576 of mem but it didn't work. At the first place i had 1.44 rom then i have change it in 1.66 with radio 2.15 but all that after installing Hspl.oops!!.
So now i have no idea how to proceed and put the android nand on. Can you help me please?
Thank you in advance

I think by memory he meant ROM not RAM

Since the first guide was useful to some people, I'm posting another one: How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 without ClockWorkMod Recovery. The first three steps are the same. All this stuff is not mine. I've just gathered other peoples postings. So all thanks shloud go to them. I'm just a bug.

install fresh Android ROM over dual boot hd2
I've set up dual boot to android and WP7 on my HTC HD2. I now wish to go back to only ANdroid on my phone. What are the steps for that. As my SD Card is partitioned will the new android rom be installed on just the NAND portion?
I need to know to what type of filesystem should I format my SD card so that i can install a fresh ROM.DO i need to go back to stock WM6.5 to install this.

Hi aditya_r12
Here's my newbie answer.
I think you can forget the sd card temporarily (remove it if you want),
flash a windows sytem (or just leave the existing win7) and then follow one of the above methods (the easier is the non clockwork mod), and you will be back to a nand android-only phone. After you can mount back your card with one or two partitions, or you can reparticion it or whatever.
I hope an experienced member, will also answer to you, since I'm an absolute ignorant newbie, which was lucky enough to manage to flash a perfeclty functioning android hd2, from scratch (thanks to the instructions of these nice people in this forum).
Good luck

Ho. Thanks for the reply. I finally got to installing nand android using clockwork mod. I used tadk29 to clear everything. Now I'd really like to know how to increase my internal storage
Its only some 250 MB right now. Is it possible to make it think that the storage extends to the SD card

Thank You~

I really need this faq but I thought there were newer versions of CWM that did not requier the "move to SD" files? Am I just totlly lost or is the faq older than those files?

Thank you for this guide. It will be very helpful for people like me (who don't read much unless encounter an issue) if download links will be available here also. So, it'll be a one stop shop guide..

I'm about to input the download links and the links for some video guides, as soon as I have the permission from the forum op.

Flashing a new nand android rom over a previous one
FLASHING A NEW NAND ANDROID ROM OVER A PREVIOUS ONE
(without clockwork mod)​
Once you have flashed Magldr to your device you do not have to go through the whole process again if you want to flash a new NAND Android Rom:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Restart your phone by holding down the 'Power' button and keep holding it down until the Magldr Menu appears
3. Press the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 4: USB Flasher and press the 'Call' button (far left of the 5 hardware buttons at the bottom)
4. Browse to the folder you extracted your NAND Android Rom files to on your pc, right click on Run DAF.exe (or install.exe if Daf.exe isnt listed) and select Run as Administrator (if using Windows Vista or Windows 7)
5. Read ALL the text and then select 'Next'
6. Read the information and select 'Next'
7. The installer will now detect USB and then flash your Android Rom to NAND
8. When flashing is complete your phone will Reboot and proceed to boot Android from NAND
That's all
Good Luck

Im a Evo user and trying to install Android on a buddys HD2. I am stuck at the pink stick together screen after step B completed and is trrying to redoot.. I dont think it wants to boot. Any ideas?

Apparently there are quite a few other benefits of installing CWM such as installing mods to your ROM. Unfortunately, I chose to install my present (and very stable) ROM without using CWM. Is there anyway to install CWM without losing my existing ROM?

The article for the NEW BIE'S of DELL STREAK

HOPING IT MIGHT HELP....!!!!!
IF IT DOES DUN FORGET TO THANK....
Here is an article which will be discussing all about the rooting the device, getting streak mod recovery menu, flashing customised ROMs and lastly How to get wicked customised BOOTANIMATION uploaded on the customised ROMs.
BUT BEFORE I PROCEED ANY FURTHUR I MIGHT WARN YOU THAT ALL THE STUFF MENTIONED BELOW WORKED FOR ME AND HENCE FORTH IM PASTING IT BUT WHEN UR FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BE SPECIFIIC TO THE POINT AND FOLLOW IT AND YOU AR DOING IT ON YOUR OWN RISK I AM NO ONE TO BE BLAMED IF YOU MESS IT UP.IF STILL YOU WANNA BLAME ME SURE YOUR ARE WELCOME.
Now this article will be one stop for everything when the word customisation comes to your mind
and its the result out of my research on all the informations provided on the inetrnet not only on the XDA DEVELOPERS but else whr too. Without wasting much time lest proceed.
1. ROOTING YOUR DELL STREAK :
Downloading the file : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Video For Reference : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hifk15SbHVQ
ROOTING THE DEVICE WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY
About :
The GingerBreak APK is a wrapper around the newly released GingerBreak exploit (credits to The Android Exploid Crew), which is meant to attain root access on GingerBread. This specific exploit*may*work on various Froyo and Honeycomb versions as well.
What the APK and exploit do is as follows:
- The APK puts the right files in the right place to run the exploit
- The APK runs the exploit
- The exploit attempts to attain root access
- If it succeeds, the exploit remounts /system as read-write and runs the installer script
- The installer script attempts to install the su binary and superuser APK, and reboots
Some important things to know:
- You must have USB debugging enabled on your device
- You need to have an SD card (formatted and) inserted - if it doesn't work, try formatting the SD card in your computer, or switching it with a different (or old, etc) SD card
- The APK must be installed to device, NOT SD card
- The exploit may take a while to run, but not more than 10 minutes, if it does, get me a logcat, and reboot the device. In rare occasions, even if the device does not reboot, you may still have root. So check that out after you manually pull battery after 15 minutes or so of being stuck.
- Always reboot between root attempts!
- While (temporary?) root access may be attained, due to locked bootloaders, efuses, S-ON, and whatnot this may still not work on your device. For temproot purposes, use the raw binary exploit (linked below), not this APK.
- The GingerBreak exploit should not be used to attain temproot and continue using the device. It fscks vold, you do not want to be running like that. You want to reboot! So if the root doesn't stick, you (still) have a problem.
Installation :
- Make sure USB debugging is enabled
- Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
- Get the APK on the phone somehow, and install it
- Open the APK, press the root button
- Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot (note that the reboot itself can take like 10 minutes due to cache wipe)
- Make sure the Superuser app is install and working
- Optional: Install BusyBox from Market (I personally prefer the stericsson installer)
- Optional: Uninstall GingerBreak, you don't need it on your phone anymore
WARNING: Apparently on some devices the root exploit causes the SD card (internal or external) to be formatted. Also, if it gets stuck but you do see the card mounting/unmounting, try formatting your SD card yourself and try again (or use a different SD card) - often this works*.
However there are many other applications to root the phone but the gingerstreak was the one worked for me and i used .you can check on net and will get other applications too eg: SUPERONECLICK,etc.
2. Getting the streakMOD Recovery menu :
DOWNLOAD FILE : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
Note : in the streamMod recovery menu to navigate up and down use the volume rocker keys and to select use the camera button.
HOW TO INSTALL THE RECOVERY :
Step 1: Unzip and flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Step 2: Reboot with: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Step 3: Hold down the keys "volume up" and "volume down" simultaneously while the device is rebooting.
Step 4: Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu
Step 5: At the Dell Logo press the power button and you will be presented with the Recovery Menu
Now all the newbie will be having only one question in mind what does the term FLASH here refers to...i was also struck by the same...Honestly, it took me one week to crack that term.
Here s the answer :
FLASHING is nuffin but running a handfull of commands which i will be providing you you can just copy and paste it but the way you write and run those commands it the real deal.
Link for streakmod revovery resource:
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
Steps OF Flashing (FOR WINDOWS USERS) :
CONSIDERING YOU HAVE ALREADY ROOTED YOUR DEVICE
STEPS TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY :
LINK : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S23rGZVOKrE&feature=context-chv
THE ABOVE LINK IS JUST TO ASSIST YOU HOW TO BOOT INTO FASTBOOT MODE HOWEVER IT SHOWS THE WAY OF FLASHING THE STREAKMOD RECOVERY WHICH DIDNT WORK FOR ME.
Step 1: MAKE SURE THE USB DEBUGGIN IS ENABLED.
Step 2: TURN OFF THE DEVICE REMOVE THE BATTERY FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND REPLACE IT.
STEP 3: PRESS THE CAMERA AND THE POWER BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME AND KEEP IT PRESSED UNTIL A WHITE SCREEN WILL APPEAR.
STEP 4: IT WILL BE SHOWING “WAIT FOR SD DETECT” THEN AFTER THE MENU COMES UP ON THE SCREEN WAIT FOR LIKE 15 SECONDS APPROX
STEP 5: CONNECT YOUR DEVICE(DELL STREAK) TO THE PC AND THEN PRESS FASTBOOT OPTION ON TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN.
STEP 6: THEN WAIT FOR LIKE ANOTHER 15 SECONDS AND FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE PROVIDED BY ME OR IN THE VIDEO LINK I HAVE POSTED ABOVE...ITS COMPLETELY YOUR CALL.
NOTE : clockworkMOD WORKS ON ANOTHER ANDROID DEVICES BUT streakMOD Revovery works on DELL STREAK
Step 1: You need fastboot/ADB tools http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Tools/Fastboot+ADB.zip
Step 2: Unzip to a folder; say C:\Fastboot+ADB
Step 3: StreakMod recovery: Download the file recovery-v0.3.2.8-beta.zip (3.57 MB) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326. Unzip and copy ‘recovery.img’ *to fastboot tools directory*(i.e. C:\Fastboot+ADB\Win32\recovery.img)
Step 4: Now Open the command prompt and by using the 'ls' command and 'cd' command navigate to the folder and your command prompt line show b exactly like C:\Fastboot+ADB\Win32\>
Step 5: Now copy and paste the command fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img, and you will find the mobile screen changes and desplayes something with an exclamation mark at the end....it means the Recovery image that needed to be flashed is done.
Step 6: Now all you need is to enter the next command in the command prompt on your computer screen fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
while the device reboots itself hold the VOLUME UP AND VOLUME DOWN or simple the VOLUME ROCKER keys.

[Q] Need some help on flashing rom.

O.k my wife got an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 when they first came out I bought it for her and it has this rom build on it l747UCALG1 and mine which I just bought about three days ago have this build on it l747UCALH9. Her build I was able to root if need be but my phone I can't and I am already on 2 count of the custom binary and I can't reset it since some how I can't root the phone the developers are seeing all of this stuff that we are doing to the phones and I believe they are trying to stop us. But anyway can some one tell me since I have a copy of her stock Firmware how can I just flash my phone or what have you with her stock firmware which is l747UCALG1 so I can root my phone. Also if you don't mind please leave me a clear step-by-step way to do it and if it works without doing any damage at all to my phone, and if I want to later go back to the stock that is on my phone now I can but I don't think I will unless I have to send or take it in ever for warranty repair or just sale it. If this works right leave me your e-mail or if you have a paypal account give me that address or what have you and I will send you a donation.. (Thanks)

How to Revert to Old Firmware & Root Newest Release -
Hello and welcome to XDA.
I understand your concern to root your device especially with it being on the latest firmware, but I will do my best in order to explain every step to you in the utmost detail. I am currently on I747UCLH9 with a Custom ROM. Meaning I kept the Modem & Bootloader and kicked the Kernel and Firmware. Before I begin, I would like to ask you to thank to all the Developers / Posters who made & put this content together as this would not be possible without them. I will link all of their original posts at the end of this. Be sure to give credit to every one of them and please make sure to give thanks to them. I take absolutely NO CREDIT for any of these links/steps whatsoever. I simply researched and compiled them in order to help you. With that being said, let us begin.
Before anything you must remember this. After you are finished downloading whatever items you need, you MUST (and I cannot stress this enough) FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE. Reason being is because a lot of other people have tried this same process of downgrading without wiping and ended up getting startup boot errors. Be sure to NOT sign into your Google account. This is just a warning, follow the steps below to know when you should begin this process.
All files you download should be saved on your desktop. Personally I prefer to make a separate folder for these kind of delicate things. Keeps it organized so you don't forget where you are.
Make sure your phone IS NOT plugged in to your computer as of right now & you have NO external SD card.
Now;
Let's begin.
Before you start be sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed. Which you can get from Samsung's website or here.
Samsung USB Drivers
Also be sure that you have WinRAR installed as well which you can get right here.
WinRAR
To be on the VERY SAFE side you must download ADB (Android SDK). What you must do is when it asks you for where you would like to install it, you MUST ONLY CLICK "Local Disk C:" . AND THATS IT. The best thing is to keep it here so when you have to execute a command line, it will be very simple. You will have a folder called "android" here. THAT IS YOUR ADB FOLDER. You will understand what I mean shortly. *Note* this is for CWM-T (ClockworkMod Touch).
Android SDK
1. Download the stock rooted LG1 Firmware. I747UCLG1 Stock + Root Only.
2. Right-Click the LG1 Firmware you just downloaded and extract it. It is currently root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.7z ; the extraction process will turn it into the correct .tar file (Flashable file type with Odin)
3. Now that you have the Stock ROM, you need..well ODIN! Here's the link. Odin 3.07.
4. Since it is in .zip format you need to extract this as well. You will end up with 4 files. Right-Click on the Odin3 v3.07.exe and run it as administrator. Now you are at the Odin screen with nothing there -_-".
5. Factory reset your phone. Just let it boot up but DO NOT sign into your Google account, just click through skip everything head straight to your Settings, then Developer Options & make sure USB Debugging is enabled/checked. Back out of your settings completely and you are at the home screen.
6. Now, just hit the power button and turn your device off. After it is completely turned off hold the Volume Down + Home button. While holding these 2. Press and hold the Power button. You should now be holding all three buttons at the same time waiting for a green lettered screen to come on (Download Mode). Use the phone keys to select the option to continue. Your phone will now say Downloading, do not turn off device. (Or along those lines).
7. After selecting the option that sends your phone to the screen with the text "Downloading, Do not turn off device." You should be holding your phone in hand with USB plugged into your computer but your device is not connected. Odin is open on your computer screen with nothing still. From here just plug your phone in and you will see a pop-up in the first box of many under the Odin logo which says "COM: #".(#: Being a select number of your device. This is of no importance, as long as you see this pop up.) Once you see this your phone will be ready to be flashed back. Just click the PDA button and browse to the root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.tar file. (Be sure you click the .tar and not the .zip.)
8. Check to make sure no other boxes should be checked except for Auto-Reboot.
9. Press Start and wait for the process to finish.
10. Everything should go through fine and your phone will start back up and you will be on LG1. You are now on stock firmware BUT rooted. Unplug your phone, Skip past everything once again and make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Keep your phone unplugged & don't forget to close ODIN.
Now before you do anything. You need a Custom Recovery AKA CWM. Well in this case we will be installing the latest touch version.
11. Download the latest ClockworkMod Touch from here. This link is saved in a way specifically from their website. You can either go to www.clockworkmod.com and browse the ROM Manager tab for the 6.0.1.4 Recovery. OR you can just right click the link provided right here and press "Save As..." this file will come up and asked to be saved as recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.4-d2att.img. RENAME IT AS "recovery.img" without the quotes & save it.
ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.1.4
12. Now that you have this file. Plug in your phone to your computer and in the root folder of your phone storage and copy the recovery.img file to it; which is the first folder that pops up when you press open when you plug your phone in. (Remember no SD CARDS!)
13. Now, click the Start button on your taskbar and in the search bar type cmd. Now you will see cmd.exe; press enter and you will see the Command Prompt open. If you saved the Android SDK the way I told you to, you can copy and paste the line below. If you saved it somewhere else you can change the folder simply by browsing to the android folder. Make sure you click on the "platform-tools" folder. NOT the "platform" folder. Also whichever directory it is you must add a "\" at the end so it will find the location correctly.
cd C:\android\platform-tools\
14. Now you are in the directory time to run ADB Shell and flash that recovery! Copy and paste or type the following; I recommend you copy and paste the last line as it gets tricky. After the SU command your phone will be detected.
First you type adb shell
following that su
and finally dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
As you can see in the last command it is named recovery.img there are no special characters or numbers or symbols to mess with the flashing. After you run this command you will an output similar to the following.
14004+0 records in
14004+0 records out
7170048 bytes transferred in 1.430 secs (5014019 bytes/sec)
Finish up this step with the following command
reboot recovery
15. Your device will now restart and head straight into recovery. Congrats you now have LG1 Stock + Root with CWM-T. Unplug the USB and press "Reboot System".
TO UPGRADE BACK TO LH9 WITH ROOT AND CWM-T
Before I begin.
You must remember that this step REQUIRES you download 4 files to go on the root of your phone memory. Your phone should now be on the home screen. Plug it in and open your phone memory. With that being said you need the following files. The Rom, Modem, Bootloader, and Kernel. You will be flashing them in this following order as well.
16. Download the following pieces and save them to the root of your phone's memory. Be sure to remember which file has what name so when you enter the recovery you aren't lost as to which to flash first.
I747UCLH9 ROM Download
I747UCLH9 Modem Download
I747UCLH9 Bootloader Download
I747UCLH9 Kernel Download
17. After everything has finished transferring, remove the phone from the computer and turn your phone. Remember how you got into download mode? Well instead of holding Volume Down + Home, you hold Volume Up + Home. While holding these two press and hold your power button until you see it says Samsung Galaxy S III. If you look at the top left hand of the screen while it's JUST turning on. You will see some blue text flash. When you see that you know your entering the recovery and can release the buttons.
18. You are back at the recovery. You must now do the following. Touch the options as I list them. Follow these steps precisely.
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Yes -- Delete all user data
- Wipe Cache
- Yes - Wipe Cache
- Advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
+++++Go Back+++++
- Install Zip from SD Card
- Choose zip from SD Card
Now choose them in the following order, ROM, Modem, Bootloader, and finally Kernel.
WAIIIITTTTTTTT! After you are finished flashing the Kernel you MUST do the following. Click options as I state them.
- Wipe Cache
- Yes - Wipe Cache
- Advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Advanced
- Fix Permissions
+++++Go Back+++++
Reboot System
19. Wait for your phone to reboot and NOW you can sign into your Google account. Go past everything go into your App drawer first and check for Superuser/SuperSU once you see that, go into your settings and check your ROM, Modem, Bootloader, Kernel. Yes. They are bone stock with root. Congrats you achieved maximum upgrade with root.

I do not see the 4 download links for the ROM, Modem, Bootloader and Kernel. Can you post them.

I will fix the links but if you simply look at the people / threads I have given credit to at the bottom of my guide you will see drothenberger's thread. He has the original links there. Mind you, you MUST scroll down to the part where it says "PIECES:" and download following his links. Don't worry I will re-post them accordingly.

Does upgrading from rooted LH9 from a rooted LG1 trip flash counter since we are installing 4 separate files instead of 1 .tar?
thanks!

I have flashed C6903_14.1.G.534_ianford10_UK Unbranded.ftf as instructed, turned my phone on, nothing appears, so I am guessing this is what they mean with (display will be blank)
Now I want to run Z1C-lockeddualrecovery(...)installer.zip's install.bat, selecting option 3 (Installation on unrooted ROM). steps from
But how am I supposed to do this?
Please respond, in desperate need of help!

The installer is actually a different file as the one you put on the phone (that one is flashable).
Download the installer from this site ( http://nut.xperia-files.com/ )
Extract it and run install.bat

Help. Spoofed n910F, in reality its n910P

Hello,
I am in real trouble, I bought used Note 4 thought it is an international variant as it shows in 'about device' (see snapshots) but after observing some glitches in the OS and dummy update software button, i got curious.
As a result, i installed phone info app and came to know it is basically N910P, which is spoofed to make it look like N910F variant (see snapshots). It has a buildnumber: DONGCHAO.A929 . However, the IMEI analyzer shows its N910C (see screenshots). This IMEI is matching with sticker at the back and it is written n910F at the back too. Using phone info's read imei tool shows another IMEI which is not matching with sticker and in about phone---> status menu's IMEI. So this could be the real IMEI of this phone?
So now my question is 1) can i revert back to N910P offical rom and keeping all features such as my network, 4g and hotspot features. I live outside USA btw. 2) Can i install N910P custom rom on it and keeping all features such as my network, 4g and hotspot features. just want to change this **** rom as it is very buggy
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Here are my 2 cents on the questions asked by you:
1. You can flash the stock firmware on your phone (which is basically N910P). There is a link by @LMMT for the same.
However, do note that 4G might not be available (as you mentioned that you are not from US) . This device is primarily a CDMA device. Do check with your respective operator for the frequency on which it operates.
2. You can very well install a custom ROM on it. I have a thread here on XDA by which you can easily flash Galaxy S7 ported ROM (meant for N910G & N910T variants) to your N910P.
Again, 4G might be an issue.
3. Hotspot will not work on stock ROM natively as you will not be on Sprint network. For that, you can use FoxFi or PDANet by which Hotspot works flawlessly even on Stock & non-rooted ROMs.
If you are using some custom ROMs, Hotspot will work without any issues. You will just need to enter your APNs manually before using the data on your phone.
Hope, I've cleared your majority of the doubts!

Thanks for your reply mate.
Installing a stock and custom room will not mess with my local networks right? Since i live outside usa
Also, can you please paste the links here of stock rom for n910p and s7 ported custom rom of which you are talking about.
Thanks.

In order for you to overcome the network issue, you can do following:
1. Download ODIN from the following link:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934542368
2. Once you've installed all the Samsung USB drivers (search for them on XDA), extract this zip file to any location.
3. Download TWRP from here:
https://dl.twrp.me/trltecan/
Choose only the .tar version.
3. Put the downloaded tar file of the recovery in the same location where you extracted ODIN.
4. Switch off your phone & press "Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button" simultaneously & enter the download mode. The phone will show you a message, just press the "Volume Up Button" & connect it to the PC.
5. Run ODIN as an administrator. It will show your phone in the COM Port location (It will be blue in colour). Tick the "AP" section & locate the tar file of the TWRP. In options, uncheck "Auto-Reboot". Click on START & let the process finish. DO NOT REBOOT!!
6. Now, take out the battery and leave it outside the slot for 2-3 minutes. Then, insert it back & press "Volume UP + Home Button + Power Button" simultaneously to enter the TWRP recovery.
Back up your current ROM to the external SD Card.
then go to wipe section & press "Factory reset" three times. performing the operation thrice is very important.
Then go to "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything (except external SD Card) also three times.
7. Again power off the phone & put it under the download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power).
8. Download the stock ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864
9. Again, download the newer version of ODIN through above thread. The steps & ODIN version are mentioned there only.
10. exit the previous ODIN & run the newer one with admin privileges. Again select "AP" in it & select the downloaded ROM location. Let ODIN read it & once it does, click on START.
11. Let the process finish without any interruption. the phone will auto-reboot after the process completion.
12. On reboot, you will get "activate your phone screen" and you can skip that by "Long pressing back button".
13. Configure your phone as per your choice.
Note: If you get any network related issues, let me know & I'll assist you there too. :good:
NOTE: I've mentioned TWRP method before flashing so that all your previous ROM version data gets cleared before flashing and you won't have any issues afterwards. However, if you want, you can straight-away proceed to the stock ROM flashing procedure but that in my opinion will not be good)

Have the same problem and the above solution doesn't work - the way to get GSM phone working is to downgrade to Android 5.1.1, but in my case, the modem still doesn't work.

Well, there are 2 points on which I would like to draw your attention towards:
1. There's no need to quote the whole reply. Simply tagging would also serve the same purpose.
2. I'm also using a GSM SIM on N910P with a stock ROM (that is not even rooted) and there's no issue related to the network whatsoever..
You must have flashed the stock ROM (or whatever you are referring to) without proper wipes through TWRP.
Do remember, that stock ROMs are coded in a way that they might require the Sprint SIM only, but (as I mentioned above) with proper wipes, they work without a glitch. Now, there are 2 possibilities using a non-modified ROM:
a) There will not be any data. The solution to it is that you have to manually enter the APNs of your respective operator and then, the data will also work fine.
b) The hot-spot will not work (as it again is locked by Sprint). For this, the solution is to use PdaNet or FoxFi (both available on PlayStore).
Last but not the least, do ,mention the steps that you carried out (whether you wiped full or not, which ROM you were earlier using, did you try to factory reset after flashing the stock ROM,etc) so it might make troubleshooting bit easier.
