Hi, i am proud to say i have a hd2 in my "pocket" but i have a little problem.
I successfully flasht my rom to Artemis v18.0. but then i encountered THE problem, my active sync wont work, so i thought i just flash it to energie rom or something like that. but if i cant connect to my phone then its gonna be difficult to flash.
so,.. i heard something about flashing from your sd card ?. i have a 8 gb microSD.
is that even possible or do i just need to brick my phone ?
Thanks in advance.
you dont need to be connected to active sync mate put the phone in bootloader turn off usb connections in active sync and connect the phone to the pc should change from serial to usb if it does you can flash,
just a quickie though did you uncheck the in youre phone in usb to pc the active sync enable faster sync

Uhm no i did not, why? is that just a useless option?
and im now in the bootloader, and it does indeed says serial in the bottom, but how does the phone knows what rom it needs ? do i need to copy the rom to the sd card or something ?
ok the reboot youre phone connect it to active sync and untick the box before you flash mate it could be your problem, if not come back and ill help ya
Hmm i unchecked the faster data sync, and rebooted and then tried to connect, but both the phone & wmdc seems to do nothing. weird problem.
and it gets wors, cuz i dont have an card reader on my pc. so i also cant copy the rom to the SD card.
1.ok so you download the ROM you want,
2.then restart you're phone in bootloader mode (turn phone on while holding vol down) phone should say serial
3.in active sync on the pc go to connections and disable usb connections
4.plug your phone into the usb serial should change to usb if it does youre set to go
5.if all above ok you would open the RUU that came with the ROM you downloaded and follow the instructions from there to flash again,
I'm guessing you have a hspl or one of the others as you have laready flashed you're device
okay its flashing now.. , i followed the steps you provided and it worked. and i have hspl 2.08 , anyways thanks for your time & help, much appreciated m8.

No probs hope active sync gets sorted
Hmm i flashed it to energie rom, and now when i call or when im called and i answer the phone freezes & reboots :S, any suggestions ?

did you hard reset after flashing?
if I was on your case and HR didn't help, i would perform a task24 cleaning and then flashing (always doing a HR after the flashing)
hope that helped.
task 29 !!
okay, im gonna trie that, thanks!

Hello...
I have a SD-bootable Android on a Dutty Windows ROM 6.5 with a working radio and HSPL 2.08. All perfectly working.
Now i want to go NAND and want to install MAGLDR. I start it as administrator, then i can select update and my phone goes straight from windows to bootloader. But after that i get the message that my workstation can't connect to my phone (althought boot loader says "USB"). I tried it directly from boot loader too and that too doesn't work (from there i can't even get the Update selection).
Could there be an issue with the Dutty ROM or has anyone else an explanation for this kind of behavior?! And is there anything i can do... maybe erase the whole ROM (HOW???) or anything?
Regards
Elmar
Is the error message by any chance "USB init failed"?
What version of Windows are you running? Also, do you have a firewall or antivirus application running? I have seen them interfere before and you could try temporarily disabling / deactivating them.
I have an antivirus (AVG), but it is only on Android, which i am not accessing when updating. As i said i tried from windows (6.5) and the update took me to the boot loader but then the windows application is trying to connect and then gets no connect and this error message appears :
"Error (260)
Check the following :
1. PDA Phone is connected via USB
2. USB cable is connected to the workstation"
And it is connected, which you can the on the fact, that the update is running my phone into the bootloader, but then i get stuck on 0% and after that the error message appears.
What you want to do is try disabling the allow usb option in active sync. Do this after you install magldr but before you try to flash the rom. This seems to fix the problem.

Hello again...
I am so sorry to have bothered you with my nonsense.
From the workstation i tried (which i strangely flashed all other ROM's before and had no problems) there had been missing the driver for the boot loader which pretty simple explains my problems here (Do'h).
Tried it from a workstation with internet connection and eureka, the driver installed and i could install magldr afterwards.
Thx for all your support and sorry for my homer-like thinking for not checking that before.
P.S. Any of you any recommandations for a good NAND ROM. I think i am going to try MDJ's CyanogenMod7. Or has anyone tried various and come to another good ROM?
Regards
Elmar
Hello.
I have MDJ Cyanogenmod 7 v2.6 installed on my HD2.
Now i am trying to go back to windows or play with other roms and instal Magldr 1.13.
But when i try to install them. I have to use a Activesyns connection between my PDA and PC. But the only thing i can choose on my phone is USB Mass Storage (On/Off).
And then the installation fails because it can't find my phone.
How do i get a Activesync connection on Gingerbread.
Can't find it anywhere.

Considering it's early here, I'm having my coffee, I'm not going to flame you for the dumb question, you can't active sync your hd2 on android, active sync is for windows mobile only, just power down, and power back up holding the volume down button, it will go into bootloader mode, plug your usb cable and you'll see usb display at the bottom of the screen, now you should hear the phone connecting to your pc and you can run any windows mobile RUU and flash back to stock , or run task 29 and flash windows mobile.
Thanks!!! I really couldn't find it. Probaly because i was searching with the wrong thoughts.
It worked!
thank you sir...i was wondering the same mistake now i understoood
Hello,
here is the situation.
i have a hd2 with magldr 1.13
android in nand
android in sd
both are working fine.
im trying to flash wp7 but my pc wont even pick up the connection (device not listed in devmgmt) however the phone is charging no problem.
i have installed, uninstalled and re-installed:
android sdk tools
windows mobile device center
windows phone sdk
i have manually removed each drivers after uninstalling all these through devmgmt.msc
i have also tried all this on 2 other PCs, with the same results so far.
i will try on a 4th PC later tonight.
i havent had the opportunity to try another cable yet.
what is causing this?
Thanks,
In wmdc did you untick "allow USB connections"?
That doesn't make any sense. If you flashed Android to NAND it should Flash WP7 to NAND with the same ease.
Make sure you hate .net 4.0 installed too, I know that helped me.
on the phone do you have it set to charge only from USB?
menu button - settings - Connect to pc - Default connection type
yep "allow USB" is unticked
i have .NET 4.0 installed...
i dont even have that in android:
"menu button - settings - Connect to pc - Default connection type"
do i have a faulty phone? the last time i flashed was about 2.5 weeks ago

I don't understand what the problem is exactly:
You connect your HD2 to your PC, load up MAGLDR and select usb flash mode.
then you're running the DAF WP7 flasher and then it fails to connect or what?

on the phone, nothing happens.
on pc flasher fails after a while.
also on the tri-colour HSLP boot, i can see "serial"
but i cant seem to put in "USB" mode.
i tried booting into HSPL with the USB connected but then it wont display "serial" or "USB"... it stays blank

oh well if bootloader stays on serial its almost certainly hardware, cos it should switch to USB regardless of whether flashing works and drivers and what not. You say you can charge so I would suspect a broken data pin inthe socket,perhaps dirty, perhaps bad solder, perhaps faulty cable.

He's saying it doesn't say serial or USB, so it might be some software issue, "it stays blank"
I would flash stock via SD, then flash HSPL, task29, then flash magldr, then try again.
yea, but since it does say serial when usb isn't connected, means it is detecting something, because it can tell the difference. You may be right in a corrupted bootloader, but id bet its more likely hardware, shorted data pins, or a break on either the phone or the cable. (all just guesswork, of course, , , hurry up and find out, OP! minds with nothing better to do need to know! hehe)

@OP
+1 on that, but of course it will all stop at "stock via SD" if that doesnt fix it,because hspl gone, no usb to reapply it, no radio flashing, so no more android, just stock winmo roms,, so think carefully what you want, if you can live with what you have, id be tempted to leave it alone until you need to.

That's true, if you flash stock via sd then you're back to SPL 3.03, but reflashing HSPL might be what you need to do, so it's hit or miss.
If it's hardware then you will find out this way and since you'll hopefully be back to stock SPL you could do warranty on it.
I hate to say it but that's most likely a dead physical USB port. I work on the HD2's daily and have seen this problem several times and it was 100% not software related which I have verified after a fully memory sweep and write of a JTAG dump from a working phone to the defective one. In these case the phone would also charge but had no PC connectivity either. You can however flash all the WinMO ROM's you would like over the SD-Card and definitely still benefit from the SD-Card style of booting Android ROM's so the phone is not a total wash. You can also still hope that Cotulla or some DEV will come up with a way to flash CWM Recovery from the SD-Card to the NAND. Then you could even still have NAND based Android ROM's as the CWM step is the only part of MAGLDR to Android that involves PC > Phone flashing.
The port is cheap at about $6.00 USD but the skill required to put one on is high. I don't offer it as a service yet but I'm planning on it soon as I solder frequently on JTAG ports smaller than the usb ports themselves and have the skill to do this.
EDIT: I'm also not 100% sure it's the port to blame but most likely it is. However, it could still be something inline with the USB data bus on the phone to blame.

If this is the case I wouldn't flash stock via SD since you have no way to flash HSPL after that.
I have CMYLXGO's Topia HD-NAND Edition on my hd2.
The problem that I am having is that Mobile device Center does not show my phone when I connected to the usb.
can anyone help me?
Thanking you in advance,
Henry
Isn't mobile device center for windows mobile only?
You're on Android, why do you want to connect ti WMDC anyway?
Yeah, you don't have a WMo phone anymore, so to say.
If you want to connect to the PC, try USB mass storage.
If you need any help, just let me know.
Ok, so how can I change differents roms if my phone does not sync. with my pc, I used to able to do it, now for some reason I can't.
thank you for yor reply,
Henry
It depends on what room are you using?
If you are using magldr, clk or you are just flashing through clockworkmod.
For every type of bootloader there is a way to enter the flashing menu.
Just tell me what rom (and what type of bootloader) are you using and I'll tell you what to do.

NAND Android ROCKS!
As a relative noob myself I recommend either HD2 tools or easyandroid, the latter being easy to use and explains every step of the process as you go and confirms you have correct radio, magldr HPSL ect already installed.
If you are looking for a good ROM, Team Blue Droid have produced an excellent sense 3.5 Rom which looks the business and works far better than many others I have flashed recently on mh EU HD2. I am not that technically minded regarding SD card partition types, but I run mine via SD card after flasing a 1024 partition using CMR and the accompanying DAF.exe.
From reading many threads I understand camcorder is less than perfect on most roms at highest res.

Try it with "HTC Sync" (download 4free) instead of mobile device center.

if yo uare flashing DAF roms the nyou go intothe bootloader and flash
most roms these days are CWM based and you install themn via zip file from the sd card no need for the computer
Ok, let me try to explain myself better so you can try to help me, thanks.
I did install the magldr 1.13 on my phone, when I plugged the phone to my pc for the first time it showed that it was intalling the driver and that went ok, my problem is that I don't see my phone on the screen so if I want to flash another rom how do I know that my phone is comunicating with my pc, my friend tells me that the minute he plugged he's phone to his pc, he sees his phone on the screen.
Can you help me?
Thanking everyone in advance,
Henry
have you tried removing and reinstalling wmdc? once just because of that i had to format my pc
1. You need to enter magldr bootloader, just reboot the phone and hold the on/ off key until you get on the magldr options screen. With your usb plugged in, scroll to usb flasher and confirm the option by pressing the call button.
Then open the rom you want to install in your PC and go for the flash. If the phone is not connected, then it shouldn't do anything. If it is, it will install.
2. Other option, from what I'm reading, I think your driver might not have been installed properly.
Try connecting the phone to other PCs. And do the usb flasher thing.
Let me know if this helped.
