As said in here, make sure to read EVERYTHING about flashing your HD2 and be mindful that a BIG problem has developed because people are flashing ROMS meant for the European HD2, not the TMOUS version.
In regards to flashing from an SD card, something I used to do a lot with the Touch Pro2, a few XDA experts say absolutely do NOT flash your HD2 from the SD card. It will most likely brick the phone.
I did not read why this is so, I simply saw the warning in my travels on XDA.
So be careful. If you are going to flash a ROM, do it through ActiveSync and the ROM update utility, obviously with your HD2 connected to the computer with a USB cable.
(For those who don't know what microSD flashing is, check my video on the process, on YouTube. Check member name heartinsanfrancisco and you will find it. Or search "Touch Pro2 microSD flashing." SD flashing is basically putting the new ROM on your microSD chip and installing it from the phone WITHOUT being connected to your computer.)

It's safe to flash. There were some troubles early on, but 99.9% of them involved poor reading comprehension from the flashers
1 reason to maintain this thread is to provide links to 100% safe ROMS. All that's left to do is to read and follow instructions on the ROM threads.
The reason it's not recommended to flash ROMs from SD card for the HD2 is probably because the standard 16gig card is only class 2, which is much slower than the higher class cards. Flashing from ActiveSync goes pretty smoothly though.
