Same here. Maybe its something to do with UK Hd2's.
I followed all the instructions too, and kept getting stuck in the boot screen loop.
Back to Nand for me... one thing, on screen before screen to flash zip it says can't find misc, even when I make a misc folder it makes no difference. Good luck to you anyway.

Can you tell us what you're doing and what happens?
i Copy contents of copytosdroot folder to the root of my sd.then i boot into magldr and go into USB Flasher whilst still connected to my laptop,Run DAF,when thats done i again boot into magldr and tap Boot AD SD but it keep failing to go into Clockwork,i keep getting soming like k:Music/zimage not found or failed to load kernal even tho ive fully formated my sd,its really anoying,i cant try out any new roms exept nand,Really frustrating
I had problems running like this initially - what worked was putting the 'copytosd' files in a folder on the SD Card (I used 'ADSD'), then changing the Boot AD SD folder option in the Settings menu to that new folder ('ADSD').
Then try using 'Boot AD SD' option.
For some reason it did not like the root folder initially (though it now seems to work fine).
Use Panasonic SD Card formatter & re format the SD card & try again, I had the same issues but now its resolved..!!!

Guys,
Mine works as well so not a UK issue
Did you follow the instructions using DAF and indicated that it was successful but when you try to 1: boot from sd nothing happens or it flashes and returns to the MAGLDR screen?
I had an issue with the root folder as well, create a folder \recovery and copy the 2 root files intrid.gz and zimage to the \recovery and goto services and change the boot to folder to \recovery.
Important reboot before trying as MAGLDR does not change the folder until after a reboot.
Boot from SD and should be OK
Or at least was for me
Now Nand has came out it has inspired a lot to create their own Android builds and new chefs make mistakes. Not trying to blame chefs in general but some do make mistakes.
Also when we used to load up the builds from SD card, I would say 8 times out of 10 I would use a data.img which hasnt been used before. Now if you go from a Sense build to a non-Sense build, and you are using a data.img in app2sd, then they are not properly matched so a-b might go to a-c and miss b out if you know what I mean. What I do is use a data.img for Sense, another for Sense HD/Z, another one for Gingerbread and another for Miui and these are on my Desktop. When I load up a different builds like Sense to Miui, then I will move the data.img from .data or data2sd folder off the memory card and then overwrite the data.img I have on the Desktop for Sense and replace it for my Miui data.img.
I know it sounds tedious but I found it to help.
Also for the new App2SD+, I create the partition using ClockWorkMod instead of another application. I will use Partition Wizard for Windows to delete a partition and resize the fat32 partition back to the full use of the memory card but always partition and create EXT3 partition using ClockWorkMod.
Hope this helps.

i have a slightly different problem: I can boot into clockwork recovery after copying the copy-to-sd files and use it as a partitioning tool. But cant actually complete the installation as I keep getting errors when i run the DAF file from CWM folder in USB flasher option of MAGDLR, so cant actually use it for recovery !!!!

It's not supposed to take more than 2 hours, 20 mins max.
Try either of the following, a combination, or all of the following:
format your sd
rextract the android folder form the build you downloaded, into the root of your sd card
Try a different blank data image (if the build requires you to have a data image in there, some builds make their own)
If it's the case of where it makes its own, go into the android folder and delete that incomplete data image
Is it just the build you are using now that doesn't work, or does every other build give you the same problem?
Maybe you need HSPL installed, iunno
You got the latest radio?
Tried a different winmo rom?

what does "failed to find rootfs on sd car. you need to unzip a rootfs zip file to the root of your sd card
[REF] A Brief guide to Installing and Maintaining Android [SD/RAM] on HD2 Despy1989 thread.
3) Android Build :
Download your chosen Android build on your computer.
Extract / Unzip the folder on the computer
Now copy into the Root of your SD card.
Folder should be labelled "Android"
Once copied into SD card you will see 2 files: CLRCAD.exe and HaRET.exe which have to be run to boot into Android.
There will also be other folders / files (Android Apps, initrd.gz, system.ext2, rootfs.img, zimage, startup.txt, ts-calibration) please leave them as they are.

Hello,
I downloaded imilka_HD_RAM_v1.zip.
I parted my SD card (8gb) in Partities,
FAT32 6.5 GB
EXT/3 1 GB
Copied the zip file to the SD card,
Flashed it with USB flasher and run DAF.exe
AD recovery -> instal zip from sd -> choose zip -> STrockdram1.zip (the zip on the SD card)
This part is going ok.
Then reboot system now,
And then it starts up, white screen, but it keeps showing the white screen, then black, then white, then black..
What's my fault???
Thank you very much for help!

This method i found on xda
Simply download the AndroidWindowsBoot.zip file from the link given at the end of this guide and extract the included AndroidWindowsBoot.cab file to your computer. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and transfer the CAB file anywhere on your device.
To install Android Windows Boot, your phone must be booted into Windows Mobile. On your phone, run ‘File Explorer’ from the start menu and navigate to the location where you saved the cab file. Simply tap on it to install, and you are done. Now when you reboot your device, it will ask you at startup whether you want to boot into Android or Windows Mobile.
By default, the application will boot into Android after 5 seconds if the user does not make a choice within that time. Those who find this delay inconvenient can change it by editing the “\Program Files\Android Windows Boot\Delay.txt” file.
In case you do not have Android installed on your device, the option to boot into Android will be disabled, so you can even choose to install Android after installing this application.
Android Windows Boot has been tested to work on HTC HD2 but may work on other phones running Windows Mobile as well. It will NOT work on Windows Phone 7.
Download AndroidWindowsBoot.zip
Thanks for you reaction.
But which version of Android is this?
And i already had the Desire version on my phone, but I'd love to have the Desire HD version.
So my phone isn't running on Windows Mobile anymore, it's only running on the MAGLDR menu right now.
All the steps i needed to do, i did. But it's still not working.
Is it possible that my phone isn't able to get that rom on it?
it could be a ruind file... try to download it again or try another ROM

Btw, i have the Desire rom on my phone now, so i can't boot from Windows Mobile.
I'm trying to install the new Imilka ROM, v2.0.
This are the steps i took:
AD Recovery -> mount and storage -> format sdcard, formad sdcard-ex etc.)
USB flasher -> USB... USB -> I runned the DAF.exe (recovery 130mb) as admin, else i got 2 errors (bootloader missed and USB).
Then i copied the v2.0 zip file to the phone with USBmass Storage
AD recovery, install zip from sd -> choose -> and i installed that zip.
Reboot now.
And i got the white HTC screen, then the black with green HTC logo, and now again the white HTC screen, and that white screen is reloading itself (black, white, black white etc.)
What i'm doing whrong?
I really hope anyone can help me.
Hi,
Have you gone into CWM >AD recovery> and wiped data,dalvik and cache partition?
The idea of wiping data ,cache partition and dalvik is to clear out all the old bits of data etc. from previous ROMS and therefore starting again with a clean slate.
Do these things then run DAF and try installing your new ROM...

Edit: Got now the normal Desire rom on it, and ill try it now from the MAGLDR menu.
Edit2: Did all, and still stucked on the white HTC screen what is reloading itself.
First im going to format and whipe everything.
And also doesn't work.
I still stuck on the white HTC screen, what am i doing whrong?!
why do i keep getting the foreclose message?

for god sake, wtf you do in the middle of this discussion with your "guess what" question????
murris16
hold on , im going to check imilkas thread.
get back to you.
ok - first of all - you have to go back to that thread and you will find that people are talking about white screen problem.
Using the Magldr Mass Storage function can cause corrupted data, Put it on you sd card using a card reader.
(Sorry if someone already said this, couldn't find this)
It could be a wrong partition size of CWM. How long does it stay on the HTC logo, it can stay there for a while when booting first time.
It stays more then 1 hour, and that's way to much i think.
But the white screen is reloading itself.
Sometimes i stuck on the black screen with the green HTC logo, but that also stays more then 1 hour.
What do you mean with Magldr Mass Storage funcion? You mean i need to copy the .zip file to my sd card (with the card reader in my laptop), and don't use the Mass Storage function in the MAGLDR Menu?
And a wrong partiton size of CWM, when i use the option Create Partities SD Card (256mb and Swap 0mb)
Then the .zip file is removed from the SD card.
So what can i try to do?

Yes, copy the zip file to SD card using a card reader, and not via magldr.

Partition size as in CWM File layout (150/250/350 mb).
What you can try to do is, prior to putting the .zip on your sd card, Totally wiping your sd card (also the remaining SD-Ext partition) This will cause you to lose all your data, so backup before doing this.
After the Format, remake the partitions on the SD card to your liking (Fat32 and Ext for App2SD+) (guides can be found on this forum.)
And then try again.

hey guys,
i am new to this thing but i have read alot of forums and discussions. i was trying to install the android with nand method but each and every rom that i have downloaded from NAND area has three folders in it
Boot
meta-inf
system.
and the instructions are to copy the zip file on sd card. i am quite confused that why do i need the sd card method when i am using the nand method. ?
after searching alot i have just found on thread which gives me the option of installing the rom using DAF.exe

but this is an old rom.
pleaseee hellppppppp
To flash a Android ROM using the .zip file you have to have Clockwork Mod Recovery flashed to your HD2. You place the zip file on the root of your SD card and then use CWM to find the file and flash it. Click on my guide linked in my sig. I have full instructions on how to flash CWM and links to download CWM. I also give a full break down of what each thing in CWM does so you should have no trouble as long as you read.
brother how do i copy the zip file to the sd card ?????????
Do you have MAGLDR and proper Clockwordmod Recovery installed on your HD2?
If yes: turn on your device and hold END key for few seconds so you see MAGLDR menu. Then choose 8. AD Recovery with vol down key and confirm with CALL key. In recovery menu choose Mounts and Storage (again with volume keys and confirm with CALL key), and at the end choose mount usb storage. Remeber to connect phone with PC by USB cable first.
Then you should see new portable drive in your Computer window on your PC. Just copy/paste a .zip file (don't unpack it!) like you copy/paste other files between folders.
thanks for reply
yes brother i do have MAGLDR and i have tried doing the steps that you have mentioned but my computer doesnot detect any usb device
the only device that is detected is the internal memory of the phone
Are you sure it's internal phone memory? I don't think user have access to such things. I think that this is your sd card. May I ask you what files/folders do you see when you open this internal memory?
Other way is to use external card reader.
i dont know what it was but it was showing me that there is only 190 mb of storage space. and my card is of two gb and there is no file in it. anyways. i have used the card reader now. thanks for your help
Hm... just a thought. Have you ever used WP7? Cause it creates 200 mb FAT32 partition and if you don't format your card after flashing other OS you still have access to only 200 mb partition.
And if you want to thank, there is a nice button called "thanks" after each post .
yes i was using WP7 before. formatting the card would delete the partition right ?
WP7 is the most suckiest OS MS could ever think of BTW. there is LITERALLY nothing to do or play with.
Hah, bullseye .
I don't know if Android would handle this weird partition created by WP7, but give it a try and format it by using Android. Windows XP/Vista/7 can't format it properly (there are tools for that ofc but that's for experienced users).
I'm 100% sure that Windows Mobile 6.5 formats sd card the way it should be, I mean it properly detects and deletes WP7 partition. But it would be big trouble to go back to WM, then again flash MAGLDR, CWM and yout build .
Little off topic, WP7 is nice OS IMO, but too closed. It's fluid and Metro interface is great, but that's it. It sucks in 3rd party apps as much as WM 6.5, if not more beacuse of closed environment. But that's a different story for different thread .
Hi,
I am a complete newb to HTC and know hardly anything about installing a NAND rom on my HTC HD2.
I bought the phone recently on Ebay, it was running windows 6.5 but I wanted to change it to the latest Android rom. I just want it to be Android, run smooth and fast, be able to access android store and get latest apps, have wifi, 3GS and all the features that the phone can handle.
Basically I am stuck on the MAGDLR V1.12 main screen after following mskip's guide on flashing a HD2. I installed HARDSPL 2.08 and flashed MAGDLR 1.13.
I then followed 'langthang's' guide on installing his latest rom updated on 31 Jan by 'flashing Recovery with edit' then done a partition recovery v1.13 150MB ( this is where I think I may have chosen to little). This is where I am stuck at and do not know what to do next on installing a rom.
I know this may seem very 'newb' to many of you but I would be grateful for your guidance on just installing a good rom.
Thanks
When I go to AD Recovery it says in red ERROR: Invalid boot image header. And on startup something about kernel open failed.
i am completely confused and need help!!
install cwm recovery (latest is 5.0.x.x) again with correct partition size required by the rom. you need to edit flash.cfg and enter the correct size e.g.150 or 200 etc..
I have installed CWM 5.0.2.6 with a 200 partition size and can go to the AD recovery menu now. How do I edit the flash.cfg and actually go about putting the rom on the sd card using MAGDLR, I amconfused on that aswell do I extract the rom to my desktop or just put the rom zip file straight on the SD??

I would suggest installing notepad++, you open the CWM folder you download and right click the flash.cfg file. Then you can edit the recovery size there.
I would suggest that you do not use MAGLDR to transfer a rom to your sdcard as there is a good chance it will corrupt, file transfer is still unstable. Just flash the correct recovery size, then boot into recovery from MAGLDR and transfer the rom to your sdcard there.
Do not extract the rom zip by the way, just place the whole zip on your sd and flash that.
What do I exactly edit?? Where is the CWM folder?? I still do not get this part at all, can someone guide me through it..
I flashed the recovery size through the HDToolKit...
Also, when putting the ROM on the SD Card, Do I have to take out the SD and put the ROM on that way with a adapter on my PC, OR can I just boot into recovery from MAGLDR and then connect my phone via USB with the SD inside and transfer it that way??

If you look at the flash.cfg in Langthang's thread, yours should look exactly like that when opened (make sure to open flash.cfg, not flash.cfg.txt) in notepad++ or whatever notepad type thing (not MS Word) and just change yours to look the same as the example one then save it. You should only have to change the numbers. Flash the new recovery then copy the ROM as a zipped folder onto your sd card using a card reader if possible. Boot into recovery then select install zip from SD card, select your file and there you go, one working HD2 with Android

Ok I attached the recovery that I use with Team Blue Droid (credits to Dansta for porting it for us)
Open that .7z file and extract the folder to somewhere on your computer. Open the folder and inside you will see a bunch of files (one of which is the flash.cfg).
Now right click that and edit it with either notepad or notepad++ and adjust the recovery size as need for the rom of your choice. Save it and then while booting into MAGLDR connect your phohne to your PC.
Select the Daf.exe file and let it run, once completed you will have successfully flashed your recovery. Just boot into recovery from MAGLDR and then select mount usb (I believe that is the option). Then you can mount your sdcard and copy the rom that way. Once done just flash the rom with the install zip from sdcard option.
Post if you have more questions
HI,
First I've written a guide to magldr and clk, so if you want a little extra info it may help.
Second, I would recommend the program called "HD2 Toolkit" Their is a link to it also in my guide.
You need to consider updating to magldr 1.13 if you are going to use magldr, things will just work better with the latest version. Also unless you have a very good idea of what you're doing, the new clk1.5 rc1 is probably your best bet, it makes everything so much simpler.
But back to your magldr problem and the hd2 toolkit program, this program is an automatic flasher for the hd2, magldr clk and cwm.
OK thanks. What Roms do u reckon I download?? I want all the general features and Appstore..

You know it really depends on your preference as there is a wide range. There are Sense roms (2.1-3.5) AOSP roms, CM7 roms, MIUI roms, and CM9/ICS roms. The choice is really up to you
OK thanks alot for the help guys, learnt alot. Managed to sort it all out and installed this Rom on it, everything looks to be working fine.

Emm... It says you must do reset of you phone from settings (or hard reset from magldr). Then you should don't let your phone boots (just stay in magldr). Remove your card from phone and put it to PC's card reader. Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to create more partitions (fat32 and ext4). And there you go. Try to boot WP7. If it boots normaly just install Android as NativeSD.
You will be lost any of your data on SD.
I think those tutorial is clearly enough. Hope you can repeat all of this steps.

I too, am finding the various tutorials a bit confusing. I used MAGLDR V1.13 and successfully installed Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 OS 7.10.8835.35 v8.5. My goal is to e able to dual boot the installed WP7 and MIUI_JB_2.9.14_NATIVESD. THIS tutorial, was followed to partition sdcard, but I'm still confused when it comes to installing the SDNATIVE Android ROM.
Do I install cwm?
I probably should state that my volume down button in not working by the way.

There is a sentence from those tutorial:
copy the "TOUCH" or "TWRP" or "RECOVERY" folder your SD Card (they all do the same thing)
you should copy recovery folder to sd card.

You can do hardreset from WP settings anyway. And magldr has looping menu, I think.

...and then what?
Maybe you should read more carefully?
Code:
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > TOUCH
& this should run, Tap on Advance

All of this is jus REPLACEMENT of recovery. Then :
Code:
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > TOUCH
Tap Install, notice that the compatible ROMS for this methoid have a div2 or NativeSD designation, tap on the ROM you want to flash.

lojjj, I too have attempted to follow that series of tutorials, and finally succeeded, but due specifically to the part you are mentioning, it took me HOURS. There is no "Touch", "Recovery" or "Tap" folder on a freshly partitioned SD card with 4extRecovery on it. The instructions are absolutely extraneous and cause confusion. Moreover, instructions for using HD2Toolkit to partition the card are useless for triple booting if one has already partitioned using a card reader in your computer. Yes, it can be done, but doesn't need to be done if one has followed the instructions up to that point.
The other problem is that one needs to combine three or more tutorials just to do this, and they sometimes have different options, but no reason given for choosing those options. This may be the best tutorial out there, pictures and everything, but still a far cry from being perfect or complete. Oh, and sometimes the tutorials are continued in another post, which also leads to confusion.

You're looking for this ones? The link provides at the top of first post. There are a lot of recoveries with NativeSD support. You need to download one of them, unpack and copy to root of SD Card. And then you can get to Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > Recovery.
Maybe I'm wrong cause I never did such things. Good luck :fingers-crossed:
