[Q] Can't boot in to recovery to flash rom

Hello again everyone, I recently purchased a used HTC hd2, it has android on it now with clockworkmod recovery app also, But I want to put CM7 on it, So I reboot....Hold down power....select number 8 for the recovery, and it says go go go......but does nothing, I have a slide 3g my touch as well, but I am not comfortable with this phone yet....2 questions....I want to install cm7....can someone link me the exact file I need?...I'll worry about diff roms and themes later.....AND...How do I get into recovery to flash this cm7 rom?...I have mgcldr 1.3 on the phone now, a 8 gig sd card...I want to install the apps to the sdcard as well.....I have searched all over the forums and google, but like I said, I am confused on this only cause it is so new to me, and a bit different than mt3g......Help?...Thanks so much for reading.......Larry

find a good CM rom, and there you will find all instructions, usually it tells you how to.
but you can always reflash magldr and then go by ROM flashing instructions to reflash CWM recovery.

If choosing 'ad recovery' stops at 'go go go', i'd first try it a couple more times. I've had recovery fail a time or two the exact same way, only to work fine the next time I tried it.
If it just won't go into cwm recovery after trying a few times, re-flash cwm recovery with the appropriate system partition size for the rom you intend to flash. Do this by hooking your phone up to your pc by the usb cable and choosing 'usb flasher' in the magldr menu and then flash the recovery image. There is a thread to find your cwm recovery image in the 'hd2 android nand development' forum. Each nand rom thread usually says in the first post what size recovery image is preferred for that particular rom.
The hd2 may seem a bit confusing coming from a native android device, but compared to the mt3gslide, it's pretty straightforward, what with the slide's s-off procedure and the old rooting methods (I rooted back before rooting the slide was super easy lol). Once you can load up cwm, you'll feel right at home, it's just like flashing your old slide from that point on.

Hey
You may have a older version of CWM on your HD2. Go to option #2 Boot AD SD and see if that boots CWM If that works you are good but I do recommend going to the CWM threadcand downloading the newer version of CWM, just check the thread on your ROM to see what partion size you need with CWM. If it does not work you might have to flash the newer version anyway as the oder version required you to place two files for CWM on your SD card. The new CWM just flashes to NAND memory like a ROM would. You can either click on the link to CWM in my sig to go to the thread on CWM or you can click on my guide I wrote on MAGLDR and CWM that I have linked in my sig also. I Really recommended you read my guidecas you said you are new to the HD2. It will tell you exactly how to flash both versions new and old of CWM and all kinds of stuff that will help you out. All you need to do when downloading anew ROM is make sure you get the ROM download that says for MAGLDR or has MAGLDR in the file download link in the ROM thread. The ROM download links are usually in the first or secound post of the ROM thread. There are several CM7 based ROMs in the HD2 Android NAND Development forum. Just look for the Cyanogen 7 or CM7 in the thread title. Here is a link to the forum.

[Q] Updating NAND Android from MAGDLR to CLK

I would like to switch from MAGDLR to CLK for the sole purpose of charging my phone when it is off. Since I read that CLK is able to do this.
I would like to know how I would go about this since I thought about going with HD2 Tookit to ease the process a bit for me.

Right now my phone has MAGDLR 1.13 on it with Coutella's release of Android. No CWM. I had it for quite some time and I have not really had too many issues with it though I would like to update to CyanogenMod 7 Gingerbread Rom. I'm leaning towards this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
So what I'd like someone to help me out with is how I get this done. All this talk of repartitioning and recovering has confused me a bit but I think I have to:
1. Task 29 my phone
2. Repartition my phone to a 140mb or 150mb partition for the rom.
3. Then install CLK
4. Then flash the rom
Would that be the correct method of going about this and ending up with a working phone?

1. task29 (if you want to start with complete clean nand...)
2. the partitions are created by flashing clK (you have to choose the clk nbh file with enough space for your rom (in your case 140/5mb or 150/5 ))
3. install cwm recovery for clk
4. flash your rom with cwm

Thank you for the quick reply! Now, I never really used CWM so I am wondering would the toolkit help me install it or where would be a tutorial to install the mod into my phone?

don't know the toolkit.
really isn't hard though.
see mskips tuts (actually, for everything):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830
good luck!

Thank you for the advice and the tutorial. I read through it and it doesn't seem to difficult but in the tutorial it mentions that CWM requires MAGLDR? This is true or is this just outdated info?
I also read through the CLK release notes and it mentions that it does not support rmnet and MAGLDR does. What would that missing functionality affect exactly?
After reading through the above tutorial, I read I need a specific radio version. Where would I go to check the Radio Version? It's not like WM6.
Lastly, after reading the release notes, the developer of CLK has a bit of a negative tone towards CLK and mentions that it really isn't any better than MAGLDR. So given that would anyone advise against CLK? I really would like to charge my phone while it is off and MAGLDR currently does not support that and I'm not sure if it will ever.

Hi,
The main difference between magldr and clk is the charging whilst it's off.
There are some complaints of data loss with clk,but this can be overcome with various wrappers.
Clk is native Android and has the advantage of being able to use ROM Manager too.
I personally find magldr easier to use,and have no use for charging when it's off,cos I have 2 batteries.
Magldr also has Tetris.
And now of course there is THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him).
Read the thread and see the advantages/disadvantages.

mate, you are thinking about it too much. pick one and go. give it a few days. if something is not working out, switch it. and to put your fears at rest, cwm can be used on magldr and clk. you have nothing to lose.
go and enjoy!

I may be! HAHA! I just want to understand everything before I take the plunge. This whole CLK memory loss thing concerns me so I might be sticking with MAGLDR, though I really wanted to charge my phone while it's off. Hopefully, someone will patch MAGLDR with that functionality. I'm not sure what the wrappers are but I suppose they are patches of sorts.
Also, would there be any way to preserve my memory of my phone like my contacts and stuff or do I have to erase them? I have most of my apps on my SD card so they should transfer over when I go to a cyanogenmod7 rom right?

when you start fresh, it starts fresh.
my contacts are synched via gmail; i suggest you do the same or some other 3rd party app.
apks are not preserved unless dl'd from a market. but if you dl Astro from market it can backup all of your installed apks (free app btw.) just reinstall from sdcard after starting fresh.
i do not know if a nand backup from magldr would work on clk. i wouldn't as issues may arise.
now just do it. install clk. it's okay. everything will be fine. backup before you do and if clk isn't for you, return to magldr and reinstall your nand backup and all be like it was a bad dream. go go go!

Ok, I gonna go ahead after just two more questions. I don't really use my data on my phone. I only really use it to send picture messaging. I run on AT&T so I can only get EDGE speeds but I do use wifi many times for a quick search on the internet. Now, if I flash CLK since it doesn't support RMNET would it somehow impact my usage?
Lastly, I've been reading up on tutorials and it might be an incorrect assumption but is CLK and CWM together when you flash CLK? Because I see no mention of installing CWM, the tutorials just access the CWM menu and flash the rom.

Hi,
I can't comment on on the quality of data or wi-fi that you will get.That is something you will see when it's installed.
If you use the toolkit, you will be firstly installing cLK.Then you will need to install a system partition for the ROM you intend to use.You choose the size according to the information on the [OP] of the ROM you want.During this process the system partition is created and CWM is installed.

So are you saying that the lack of RMNET can affect the performance and/or usage of Wifi and EDGE?

Hi,
I'm sorry I cannot comment fully on this.
I am just passing on observations from other users.
I,in fact have magldr, and have no such problems.

That's fine I was just wondering. I have MADLDR right now as well and it does not have any problems but I just want to be fully educated on CLK before I take the plunge. Also, I had another question in my previous post that you might be able to answer. Does CLK already have CWM incorporated into it because the tutorials I read on installing CLK takes no mention on installing CWM but rather it just boots into its menu.

Hi,
As I mentioned before,try THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him)
If you take the plunge and install cLK,follow the steps on the toolkit.
1.task 29
2.install cLK
3.System repartition according to the ROM you want to use.
This repartitioning installs CWM as well.

Well, I flashed my phone and everything works but I used a pdf tutorial from the rom's page and then just used the Toolkit to only install CLK and partition it. Anyways, now that everything is working how can I change the Phone's POST Screen. The very first one cause I have this stupid NRG screen when I used his roms and that one replaced my T-mobile one. I'd like to replace it regardless. How would I do this?

that's the splashscreen. you flash it like you did a rom on WM.

Ah great! Thanks for the info, just a few minutes ago I flashed a different splash screen and its all good now! Yeah thankfully, I didn't really encounter any hiccups when I was installing all this stuff. Just had to edit a .bat file for my fastboot since the guy who made the premade package did not update it with the newest CWM but I got it and changed it so it flashes CWM 4 for me.
Also, even though CLK doesn't have RMNET, it isn't affecting my wifi usage so that's a plus and I really do like CM7 especially the sleep animation when you go into or out of sleep. Thanks again for all your help guys!

Reminds me of the good/ bad old days.
There are lots of ways to change your boot screen. Try here:

[Q] Bootloader: USB recognized, but unusable. Bricked, or still hope?

Alas, the old companion HD2 seems totally locked...
In my attempt to flash to an Android ROM, I spent two whole days digging through XDA. So I got me the HD2toolkit, a backup stock .exe, and the target ROM.
installing hSPL worked
magldr wouldn't install. So I updated the phone to get the right radio. This unfortunately upped hspl to 3.03. So i downgraded that by installing hspl4 and opting for 2.08.
Magldr then installed nicely, but the phone would not restart: the OS wouldn't start.
So I task29 succesfully, and install the windows update on the phone again. Works just fine.
Back to installing magldr, since hspl is still at 2.08 according to the tricolor screen. (that surprised me, since at the first time it went to 3.03).
And then it all went to bits. I get an HTC screen on white background, but no 'quietly brilliant' for 5 mins. Going to bootloader works, it recognizes the USBcable (can hear the telltale sound on the PC as well), but no data can be sent across that cable... No hd2toolkit orders (202 connection errors), and no official ROM executables will connect.
Tell me, is this now an official brick? Or might one of you have The Ultimate Revival Secret for me?

not even close. So far everything sounds like a simple missmatch between magldr spl and radio, made more confusing because you arent really 100% sure of what exactly is being added / removed at each step. (Sorry, not having a go, just being blunt )
the connection errors might be an issue, but probably not, give your PC a reboot, use a different usb port.
in bootloader, what do the top line, and the spl line say? does it say USB at the bottom?
With your phone in bootloader and connected to PC, on the PC, click start - right click 'computer' (or 'my computer', depending on win version) choose properties, find device manager, and see what entry is listed for the phone.
**NOTE when you flash magldr, if the radio or spl is wrong, magldr will be there, it just wont show up, it will go straight to the boot screen and hang there. You dont have to re flash magldr, just change the spl/radio to the correct ones, and magldr is still there and should start, no need to re flash it. Magldr is only removed by flashing a stock winmo rom (or a cooked winmo rom that includes splash screens)

Be still, my beating heart...
Thanks for your answer, Sam. No harm done in the bluntness, you quite rightly marked me as a noob. Indeed not all is clear on the boards, but we all do our best.
As you said, I had no clue all the OS on my phone were gone. So i saved me another ten minutes (thank you, again) and flashed a new radio. And behold! Magldr is back!
You, sir, should be kissed!
Now to find out how to install a Zimage, that still seems to elude me (seeing there is no daf.exe or install.exe)... I'm aiming for this one to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250703. hd2toolkit will only help out on nb or nbh, though.
If you could point me in the right direction?
And muchos thankyous are coming your way!

well first up you should add cwm on top of magldr, most roms are clockwork(cwm, cwr its called slightly different things, all mean the same, , 'clockwork mod recovery') roms.
You can do this with the toolkit, but instead of the hd2 being in bootloader, enter magldr and choose 5 usb flashing, then in the toolkit, choose a partition size, (160 by the looks of it, for an eu model) and when thats done,
restart,
enter magldr
option 8 ad recovery - will start cwm,
then choose 'install zip from sdcard' - 'choose zip from sdcard'
but remember BEFORE you do all the above, you should
1 - set up your ext partition (you can do that in cwm, , 'advanced' - 'Partition sd card', but be warned it will wipe the whole card)
and
2 - copy the romname.zip onto teh sd cards fat32 partition.
EDIT - oh and most roms have two versions, a magldr version and a cLK version, dont confuse cLK with CWM, theyre different things. For now stick to teh magldr versions, you can find out about cLK later.

Now we're getting places!
So if I understand correctly, the toolkit has not installed CWM. OK, I'll go and look for that rom.
However, the android I pointed out is, if I read you correctly, not NAND? It was posted in the NANDcategory, so that confuses me. Bummer, I need my SDcard for data.

yea its a nand rom. most nand roms use an EXT partition, and for most sense 2 roms, its advisable, and for sense 3 roms it simply wont work without it. Look at the partition size for the tmous version(which is the same but doesnt use an EXT),,,435meg, that's just for the system partition, it would leave you about 50meg for apps and data.

not a rom, as such. Go into the toolkit, with teh phone in magldr, option 5 'usb flashing',,at the top of toolkit 'magldr repartition', below that click the 'custom' size, below that cache size 5 (from the 5/160/5, personally i use 45 regardless of what teh rom says, but thats just me, its not absolutely critical), then below that 'repartition', , a popup will ask you teh custom size, 160, OK,and off it goes installing cwm.

Hm, interesting.
Thanks to your feedback, i get magldr 1.13 up and running, just fine.
Next to that, flashing ROMs seems to be working smoothly.
However, none of the android ROMs are taking! I downloaded (from several sources to exclude download errors) three ROMS:
1) rom Based RUU Desire HD 3.06.405.1 - With sense 3.0 - Android 2.3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264828
2) Desire_S_sense3.5_Android.2.3.4_v1.2_EU.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250703
3) GBLeor3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256581
nrs. 1 and 3 are installing, but on startup hang on HTC's splashscreen. Nr 2 is not installing (aborting during install, status 0), tried both on 5/160 and 5/200.
Seems like android install through magldr is not working at all! Any thoughts?
To be complete, I installed:
hSPL 2.08
magldr 1.13
radio 2.15.50.14
repartitioning through hd2toolkit
It all started with stock winmo, wich i updated to 3.14.404.2. It's an EU phone.

Don't forget it takes a while on first boot, especially the large ones,I can well believe a sense 3 rom that is writing 300+ Meg to the ext partition would take well in excess of ten/fifteen minutes and more first boot.
Also, if you flash a rom and then go to flash another, you will be leaving parts of the old rom on the SD card. In cwm before the flash choose wipe data/factory reset. That's in cwm, not magldr. Also, did you set up the ext through cwm?
My advice would be go for a simpler rom, one of the cm7 roms, typhoon for example, purely to show its working.

The desire S (sense 3.5) did not even install after 6 hrs, so I'm guessing something's wrong there ;-)
I'll wipe data between flashes, and per your suggestion, try something light as an appetizer first. Not before next weekend though! I lost enough sleep )
Thanks again!

When I started flashing nand, very often(six times in ten maybe?) the first boot never completed, and I soon learned that if after a few minutes nothing happened,I'd pull the battery and it would Start the next boot. Also, keeping the hard keys lit (touch every min or so) seemed to help.
I know I'm straying into "lucky socks" and good luck charm territory,but can't help to try, and I DO know I've seen one rom in the past where the instructions mention keeping the screen on as being important, so who knows?? Not this stoned and overtired techaddict!
I've had a stable rom that I've been just flashing updates for some months now, so I've not had that situation for a while. The wipe data command in cwm is deff important tho.
The only other thing that consistently causes non starting is too small a partition size.

cyanogen is stable
Yub yub, commander, time for an update. Cyanogen has been installed and working for close to 3 months now. So it actually does all work!
On the boards, I can now see updates on the ROM I crave (sense 3.5 from htc desire), and those updates are suggesting 260 Mb partitions (no ext). So it would seem my first partition was indeed too small.
So tempted to try those again...
Too bad cyanogens rom backup is acting weird. Otherwise it'd be no problem just to try, eh?

i didn't check the partition, how do i check that?

when you flashed CWM you chose a partition size based on the stated size for the rom you want to flash. it will be in the first post of that roms thread. Use teh nand toolkit, is teh easy way.
EDIT - oh wait, forget that, that rom provides its own cwm, , you have a 265meg system partition, so probably not that, (unless you missed out steps

still stucked at the black screen with the green HTC words. i tried several times already and it won't start up.
is it possible to wipe the whole thing installed in the phone, and install android to it?

If you flashed magldr then it's all already gone.
I'd try a different rom. Maybe its simply that that rom doesn't like your phone for whatever reason.
Pick a rom
Enter magldr - USB flasher
Flash required partition size using the nand toolkit
Enter magldr option 8 ad recivery
Choose flash zip from SD - choose zip

Probably a stupid suggestion - but have you checked the battery pins? Make sure they're not bent in anyway and that the'yre making contact with the battery.

@samsamuel;
you were right, the ROM hated me :'(
i changed to using the coredroid ROM and everything worked thank you very much!!
@MrFoxx;
i checked the battery pins, and they were indeed bent! but it didn't give me any problem

[q] y u no make me root??

Hey Guys,
at first, i hope this question isnt coming again and again, but i couldn't find anything helpful (for ME!) yet.
I have the HTC HD2 and got really tired of Windows Phone 6.5, so i changed it to Android. (Took me weeks to figure that out until it worked)
My current ROM:
Android 2.2 HTC Desire
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
I use Magdlr and boot from NAND.
Superuser Elite is installed (bought it), but i cant update it - no matter what i do, it wont let me be root. I even tried the terminal, but when i type in "su" it directly says "permission denied". The problem is, my phone memory is low and i cant install apps directly on the sd-card (never found a guide how to get this automatically done).
What can i do??
i am rly desperate... the sad thing is, my boyfriend (yes, i am a girl) isnt much into smartphone stuff though he's got the new htc sensation - and also not into unix / linux systems - it seems all the guys i know besides only use an iPhone and google won't be my friend...
PLS PLS PLS HELP ME!
oh and sry for the bad language, grammar etc - i'm german ;-)

that is an old, out of date rom. It was the first proof of concept release when cotulla created magldr, so i would advise you to move to a different more recent rom. (We now have roms running android 2.3, 3 and even some early android 4 roms.)
There are very very few roms that flash in quite the same way, now, so you would need to learn about flashing CWM(clockwork, clockworkmod, clockwork recovery, it has several names)
Go get the 'android toolkit' from the android nand section, and then go read some of the guides from HERE

Old, outdated ROM with no root access. Use a newer one.

Yep its an old ROM. Don't worry though, you'll be able to redownload superuser on a new ROM. Just do what Sam says and it'll work fine. Surprised you even knew that you could flash android on to the hd2, because "you're a girl".
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =

ok guys thank you for the detailed informations!
i didnt know the rom is outdated - i guess installing a new one is the best idea in that case. i thought of that before, but it took me so long to get this one working so i wasn't in the mood for re-installing yet.
THANK YOU all, i will let you know if it worked - in case i cant fix this, would someone be able to help me via teamviewer?

I'm pretty sire you won't need to give remote access, you'll be able to do it. All you'll need is the latest magldr 1. 13 (if I'm not mistaking)
Once you've got that, you just need to flash the clockwork mod daf file from usb flasher on magldr, then when you flash into clockwork its easy, just flash a zip file.
You can backup ROM's etc. from clockwork so its really convenient.

I totally crashed it!!
Hi Guys - it has happened
i totally crashed my hd2.
what i did:
i read the guides and got the newest android nand toolkit. so, i performed task29 and installed hspl, then clk. the problem now is: i cant do anything else! when i boot, i get this white clk screen where i can choose recovery normal or sboot. i cant repartition, my phone has no connection when i switch into the mode "with the 3 colours"... so - i can copy to sd card what i want, i can perform every task with the toolkit, even the backup rom for the original windows phone doesnt help because it says: "pls check that you're phone is connected via usb". my pc has the android usb drivers, it shows the device, all ok. i cant go into usb flasher because it seems, no magldr is installed - i tried and tried so many things and now i cant even perform a wipe.
seems i need to give you remote access anyway....
PLEASE! help me!
if you need screenshots i will upload them, just let me know.

Start from the beggining by reflasing with the 3 colours on the screen, im no expert and I use magloader not clk, so try doing a fresh one with magloader and see how it goes

Plug the phone into the PC. Hold the back arrow key after turning the phone on to boot to fastboot . Then either try flashing Cwm via the NAND toolkit or do it manually through fastboot.
P. S. Did you install a radio?
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App

try to do it the way "typhoon" discribed it in his thread
