I got the latest SPL from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ and flashed successfully, but now it just has the screen where it says "T-Mobile G1" and doesn't go any farther. Did I screw something up? I have the latest radio update if it matters.
Did you wipe after? Hold down Home+Power or Home+Camera, can you get into the bootloader or recovery window? If not... well let's just not go there yet.
The installation of a new SPL repartitions your phones internally memory. You must reinstall whatever ROM you want after a new SPL installation.
Yes you must reinstall your Rom must be reinstalled to boot. As usual .update.zip to sdcard....

well first you have to update the RADIO THEN SPL (dont do it unless you already have, otherwise you will BRICK) then, just flash a recovery image, boot into recovery, wipe, wipe ext partition, and flash. YOU FLASH THINGS THE SAME WAY, IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT ROM YOU ARE FLASHING.
Hi guys,... Im quite new around here.
Just wanted some advice regarding radio updates.
In my Settings -> About phone -> Baseband Version
It states: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
I have flashed the Modaco 3.2 ROM, do i need to update the radio aswel?
is 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 the latest one and would it be compatable with my rom?
and lastly, to install it, do I just download it, change the name to 'update.zip' then install it through the recovery thing like i did the custom ROM?
Please help me.
Thank you.
---------------------------
Also,... Can the radio be 'rolled back' should i face any issues?
You can, but don't have to flash a newer radio athough it is allway recommended to have the newest radio installed.
You don't have to a wipe before flashing a new radio.
You do not have to rename the radio.zip to update.zip but can also flash it under its original name.
Be shure to use a newer recovery such as the ones pubished by Amon-RA (newest: RA-hero-v1.6.2) since they allow to do a full wipe which is allways recommended prior to ROM-flashing.
and do not pull the battery during the process, it takes a few minutes and restarts several times.
Thank you both.
So the radio is always done after the new ROM is installed right?
So do it in this order yeah,...
1,... Install the custom recovery (Amon RA)
2,... Do full wipe, (Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Dalvik cache, Wipe SD)
3,... Flash custom ROM
4,... Boot up.
5,... Format SD card on phone.
6,... Re-boot.
7,... Put new radio on SD. Turn off.
8,.. Go into recovery again to install radio.
Is that about right?
Will i be able to roll back the radio if needed?
5 is optional but if done, then best before 3 or even before 2.
roll back the radio: yes you can!
Thank you,... I've just done it,... And my network signal is alot better, i was only getting 2bars, 3 at best, i assumed it was due to me using a rebel sim but now with the updated radio im getting full signal!!
Thank you.
Hello,
I have the latest stock version for the T-Mobile HD2, it is a 1024 version and has stock everything. I actually bought the device on craigslist and it came with WP7, I flashed the latest stock rom via USB, then flashed android, this version, followed the steps and links. YouTube - How To Install Android NAND ROM On HTC HD2 (No SD Card Needed) With MAGLDR
Then I entered bootloader and flashed the Stock ROM via Sd card. Now I want to go back to android but when I open MAGLDR, the progress stays stuck at 0. and I can remove the battery and boot back to WM 6.5 Stock again. Can someone help me?
I would really appreciate that.
Thanks
try to flash HSPL 2.08 first
Hi, download MAGLDR 1.13 and follow the instructions. To flash it, you need to power on the phone with the volume down key pressed. Once you are in bootloader, plug the phone in to the pc and flash. Then you cam flash your Nand ROM.
Sent from my Motorola StarTac using Voodoo
Yeah before you try flash MAGLDR you need to flash HSPL 2.08.HSPL. Then just follow the instructions.
Thanks, I got it
I'm a noob and getting really frustrated.
I Wipe (Type 29) my phone and reinstalled MAGLDR v1.13, Radio & HSPL 2.08 just fine with HD2 Android NAND Toolkit. I can't get CWM on my phone to save my life. When I go to AD Recovery it says "No boot source" and I don't know how to get it back so I can load a new ROM.
PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
you said youve flashed hspl, radio, and mag ... you made no mention of flashing a CWR. just as a rom has to be flashed to boot up ... so does CWR or else theres nothing to boot. im not trying to flame or insult ... sometimes we miss the small things in our hurry to get to the party! i truly hope its as simple as this :-D
go to usb flasher (i believe option 5 in magLDR) and flash the CWR. Then boot AD Recovery ...
That is strange the toolkit should have installed CWM, but it seems that it didn't. Your next option is to download CWM and install it manually. Just be sure that the flash.cfg is setup correctly for your phone and rom that you want to install. the latest version is 5026 and can be installed via usb from magldr.
You can get it here at the end of the second post.

Hello, i have htc hd2 and i already intallled this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209474
Now, i want to update this ROM to this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662881
But i dont know how, i have magldr installed on my device, 2.08 spl and the proper radio. I dont really know if i first have to uninstall the current android i have(i dont know how either) or if i just flash it on top of it. Another question i have is how to flash a rom that comes on a zip file from magldr. Because i installed the android that i currently have with an .exe that came inside the rom i downloaded.
Thanks, i hope i can get this solved asap.
You don't need to uninstall your current ROM, but you have to install CWM first with the correct partition size. After that, boot into cwm by selecting option "8. AD Recovery" and then "install zip from sdcard" and choose the ROM you downloaded as a .zip .. and you should be good to go.
If you need elaboration, you can follow this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16528026&postcount=7
Keep in mind you have to modify "Step 8" & "Step 10" according to your ROM.
Also, if you installed your first rom using daf.exe some time ago there's a good chance you don't have magldr 1.13.
You can tell by looking at the magldr menu screen at the top, or by looking at option 8,, if option 8 ISN'T "ad recovery" then you need to upgrade magldr. (Well, technically you don't, but its way easier if you do)

I installed my previous rom with daf.exe. I have to install CWM now, i have magdlr 1.13, so i can do it. But i read this:
"WARNING MESSAGES:
GOING FROM A DAF FLASHED ROM TO A RECOVERY FLASHED ROM WILL WIPE ALL DATA
IF YOU FLASH ANOTHER ROM USING DAF, RECOVERY WILL NO LONGER WORK CORRECTLY, YOU WILL NEED TO REFLASH RECOVERY"
I didnt understand what it meant with "wipe all data". Is there any chance to brake my device?
Thanks
It just means that the apps and data on your current ROM will be deleted (SD card will not be affected). You can use an app like Titanium Backup to backup your apps and app data then restore them after flashing a new ROM.
I already flashed the rom succesfully, thanks for the help
flashed but reboot failed
Flash was successfull, but first reboot failed. Phone shows the cyanoGen mod figure with an arrow turning around it for ages.
Any ideas how to make it working?

Make sure you setup your partition perfectly as the OP said for your ROM,if u new on this just grabed HD2 Toolkit,try to start all over again.
but if you have settle up your partition perfectly try to go to recovery wipe cache,than wipe dalvik cache and reboot,see if this working,good luck
Long Live HD2,Long Live Rock'n Roll!!
