Now this phone comes with an old android operating system and not it is possible to install Android new on that as we are not getting any OTA update. In this guide I am going to show you how you can install Android 4.4 kitkat on HTC HD2. Kitkat is the latest edition of Android operating system offering more smart features and great performance.
The process will flash windows and overwrite windows over the device. So here you will loose your old operating system and there is no way to restore back unless you backup the rom.
