Can't seem to change my rom. I hard spl'd my phone, it reads on the bootloader SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE. Im running OS version 5.2.21892 Manila version 2.5.2012 Rom version 2.13.531.1 and Radio 2.11.50.20. I have no problem when flashing the radio, works every time but when I flash a new rom it doesnt change after it shows installation was successfully done. And I've tried flashing roms from all sources, energy, kumars, omega, etc...Any ideas why this is happening and what can I do to successfully integrate a new rom to my hd2?
Odd one, not hearsd this before, not something silly like you have an image of the stock rom on your sd card? or you are running customruu.exe in a folder with more than one nbh file in the same folder?

explain this a bit more if you can. I do have a set folder for all my rom downloads. And im not sure about the stock image thing in my sd card?
well lets say you have rom1.nbh and rom2.nbh in the same folder, with customruu.exe, you can run customruu over and over again, and it will always install rom1.nbh, cos its first alphabetically.
Being in sub folders is fine, but there should only be romfile.nbh and customruu.exe in the folder, no other files.
If you dont know about image on sd card, then it wont be there, else you would know about it.
thank you so much sam, i will try this and get back to you.
WOOOOOOOOW I cant believe it was something so simple like this i sure feel stupid..lol thank you so much!!!!
hehe no worries, better to make a silly mistake than a bad one.

Today I was testing several builds and for convenience left all of them renamed in the RUU folder. After flashing the newest build multiple times (all were successful) and doing several HRs I began to worry as nothing changed from the previous build and it seemed like the flasher or the device was ignoring the flashed firmware. Then it turned out RUU was using the wrong nbh for flashing.
Seems like it chooses the first .NBH it finds in the folder:
ruu_signed-0.92.nbh
ruu_signed-llllllll.nbh
ruu_signed.nbh
Never put multiple NBHs in one folder! Don't let the flasher make an idiot of you.
yea your not alone ive done it before, flashed my blackstone 7 times no change, then relised i left the BLACIMG.nbh in the release folder...
I've never had such problems! Even now I have two different nbh files and only the correct name is flashed!
Correction: Do you mean in windows or in the device? I keep my nbh files in the mSD Card

HSPL doesn't abandon using RUU. I find it more convenient than flashing from SD. Choice is a matter of taste.

because when you flash multiple times in an hour with different roms, its an extra step that slows down the process i think
Hi guys, i have more then 2 weeks trying to load android on my hd2 and always fail....i tried differents android rooms following the steps.. "from the android folder run CLRAD then Haret" but when is booting always shows this...( failed to find rootfs on sd card..you need to unzip a rootfs ) so i started over everything again but still the same... this is what i got in my phone
R 2.15.50
G15.42.50
D 3.14.04666 8G
and i'm using chukydroid room ...so please somebody can really help me with this ..i'm afraid that my phone get damage and I could never use it!!!
Thanks a lot
What android build are you using?
All you do is drag and drop the android folder on the root of your sd. After that, while booted into windows, use the file explorer to open the android folder. Click on clrad then haret. If you are using chuckydroid rom, you don't need to manually touch haret. Use ebl boot load program and set auto boot.
Can I just ask what size and class of SD card you are installing onto?

i'm using this build...nexusHD2 FRG83_V1.5_(froyo2.2.1)
i tried using EBL but says there is no android room on sd card!!
and now i'm trying to go back to wm6.5 and i don't know how to do it?? this chukydroid room is totally out of my knowlege..if you can give me a hand to going back to windows, i much appreciate and i'll invite you a couple of beers lol ...thanks a lot for you time
just boot into your chuckydroid rom, connect via usb, and flash a new rom with the nbh file. its just the same as any windows rom flash.
um. you are unzipping the android folder that you download first right? if your just downloading it and then drag and dropping it to the root of your SD card it isnt going to work. you have to unzip it first. sorry if i'm stating the obvious here...
Hi,
Ive been trying to read me to this but i cant get it straight anyway.
Im trying to flash a zip file to the SD root called ps3-Signed.zip to my Htc Hd (Blackstone) with froyo (2.2).
And when i do the normal flash in recovery mode (tri-colour) nothing happens.
Also im i have no success with RUU aswell.
The zip file is in the root of the sd card.
There isnt much on Blackstone on other sites so i hope you guys have some tips for me
Cheers!

You'll have to give a bit of background, as I don't understand what are you trying to do. Flash a zip file with froyo??? What for?

He's trying to flash like a native android phone
You could try to rename it update.zip and boot android..
Sorry its for doing the psfreedom jailbreak for the ps3. For that you need to install/flash that zip file to the Sd card. But i cant get it in.
I also tried to change to uppdate.zip and it didnt work. feels like im doing something wrong.
I thought i knew how to flash files but nothing happens when i flash the zip file.
here is a link to the guide with a desire. http://www.dkszone.net/jailbreak-ps3-psfreedom-android-phone-nexus-htc-desire
Blackstone is not an android native device, and it doesn't run from nand, and usb mass storage doesn't work, and recovery mode doesn't work either, so I doubt that works with it. Sincerely, I'd try to get a native android device to do that.

You got that wrong. This is intended for the native devices and you can't flash anything to NAND (yet). I don't know if it works on Blackstone, but more info can be found here.
In xdandroid rootfs.img already builtin recovery mode for installing OTA updates "update.zip"
hallo guys I want to install 2 ROMS in SD card for my HD2 device.
a sense and a MIUI one ,,but I want to have both installed!
in order to run everytime which I want...
is this possible ? can you explain and help?
many thanks!!
Yes, it is.
In the folder with the files in (probably named 'Android') there is a file called startup.txt. Change the folder name to whatever you want (e.g. 'MIUI' or 'Sense') then within the folder open the startup.txt. There will be a line saying rel_path=Android (or whatever the name of the folder originally was). Change this to rel_path=your folder name and boot. I can't remember if the line is exactly like that, so keep the formatting the same (i.e. the same spaces, signs etc.) and only change the Android bit.
thank you! and after I boot into windows how I will choose which I want?
(MIUI or SENSE named?)

Well I guess you would have to uninstall any automatic loaders you have and manually browse through the files and choose the right CLRCAD and HARET from the desired folder
ok thank you !!!
Hi gesamgr,
follow the download link for the exceller autoloader in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737001
On bootup sequence it shows you the opportunity to choose which OS you'd like to boot - multiple OS as SD version included! Remember to follow the instructions carefully.

Use MAGLDR 1.13 for booting into WINDOWS or any ANDROID ROM.
Just use Boot AD SD for booting into Android.
Change the folder for booting different android ROMs using SERVICES....Boot Setting.....Android SD Folder.
I have 3 roms in SD
just point the way in Magldr
Hello everybody!!!
I'm a very noob user, so i please a need a step by step help!
I tryed to install a dual boot on my hd2, with android ICS (MIUI) on SD, and windows mobile 6,5 on NAND.
To get that result i used this Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504369
..but, in the the guide is written:
"Instructions:
Well you know just extract everything and put the miuiics folder in your root of sd card, you know the rest.."
maybe a link to the guide is better then "you know the rest..."!
I don't Know the rest, and I proceded in this way:
1) Inistalled the MAGLDR
2) copyed the rom of android on a SD card
3) Configured the setting to make a boot to SD and Android working perfectly!!
Now I even need to use windows mobile 6.5, but I don't know to switch on it!
I think that MAGLDR is overwritten on WM6.5 rom, and now I have a phone with only android, where is impossible to make a dual boot!!!
Anyone can write me the procedure step by step to retry to install correctly the dual boot with WM6,5 and android MIUI ics? Is even good a link with a guide that I didn't found!!!
I have 2,08 HSPL.
Thanks anticipately for your explains!

Please do some more reading before flashing anything, if you didn't have an HD2 you would probably end up hard bricking your device if you didn't read. MAGLDR replaces WinMo. You need to boot into the bootloader, flash an official stock ROM via USB then run the SD build via CLRCAD and HARET.

OK you seem to be very confused with your terms, so I'll simplify things for you:
1. Turn the phone off
2. Boot into the bootloader (stripey screen) by holding power and volume down
3. Flash the latest 3.14 stock ROM (WinMo) for your particular device (see on HTC's official website, it has the downloads plus a guide)
4. Place the 'Android' folder on the root of your SD card. Note that the name of this folder may vary from build to build, but it is always the folder containing all of the files.
5. Boot into WinMo then find the file explorer
6. Open the 'Android' folder (or whatever it's called) and find the file 'CLRCAD.exe' and run it. You will not see any visual change
7. Find the file 'HARET.exe' and run it. Android will be booted.
8. After first boot, be patient. Give the device time to settle and then once everything seems fine (after at most 5 minutes) reboot.
9. Once you reboot, you will have WinMo again. Simply repeat steps 6 and 7 to boot into Android.
If this guide isn't simple enough for you, then in all honesty I don't think I can help you much, you'll have to find someone who's more noob-friendly

Thank you so much for the help, but i just tryed this way!!!
In my situation, at point 8 of the guide, my phone restarts after about 30 second (no 5 minute) and then go in loop...
After the restart, the phone enter in WM and ask me to run CLRCAD.exe, and HARET.exe (in this order) and i accept.
The phone starts the loading screen of android, and restarts again.
It always restarts, without going into Android! I have seen at least 10 restarts before try to install Magldr!!!
I don't know the cause, but i think that android ICS is not compatible with the "Android loader V6". I used this loader with android gingerbread without problem!
Now in the link with ROM, i read:
"Ported using Portadroid Ultimate v4.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1094372 "
but the page does not exist!!!! What is portadroid ultimate? is it the bootloader?
I'd not worry about the bootloader and other terms much if I were you, it's not important for SD Android anyway
I apologise if I can't be much more use but I haven't used SD Android in a long time . The only thing I can think of is this: EDIT: see bottom of the post first, then try this
1. Find the SD Android build which you have downloaded on your PC
2. Open the folder and find the file 'startup.txt'
3. Find the line 'Rel_path=' and make sure that the next word matches the name of the folder in which the build is stored, for example if I had an SD build with the folder name 'Android', that line in startup.txt should also say 'Rel_path=Android'.
The only other thing I can think of is that somehow the folder isn't in the root of your SD card. Make sure the folder which contains the files (so in the example I gave previously this folder would be called Android) is copied to the root of your SD card. There should be no sub-folders or anything like that, just /Android.
EDIT: I think I may have found it now, try uninstalling the automatic loader app you have (Android Loader V6) and running these files manually rather than doing it automatically. If I'm not mistaken, this app looks for a folder named 'Android' by default, but the name of the folder your ICS build is stored in may be something different.
Just to add that ICS SD builds are often in an 'ICS' folder instead of 'Android'
It shouldn't matter using CLRCAD.exe, and HARET.exe though.

That is correct. If I read it right, Android Loader had been set up already for a previous build. When you do this, you tell the app what folder to look for - i.e. "Android". Now that you have a different build, different folder name, the app cannot find all the associated files to boot from SD properly.
Your folder name is miuiics
