Hello!
I'm having a problem during the installation of the clockwork recovery, tbh its one of the first steps but here we go
atm Im using MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 and I would like to install the recovery but to do this I need to reach magldr which is not accessible due to the fact that I can't do anything except looking how my android autoboots ;/
every time I turn off the phone and hold the power button, it just boots to my android. I see magldr starting and booting my system, counting 123456, then gogogo but I cant do anything
help me
You need to keep that button pressed until you're really in the menu, you're probably releasing it too soon?
Are you keeping the power button down all the way thru the boot process, if you're not, keep holding it from power down til it reboots and keep holding it until it should switch to the mgldr options menu.

oh my god, that was so easy
works
thank you very much!
once you get used to it, you'll find you only need to hold power from just at the end of the first bootscreen until the menu appears, about 4/5 seconds. Not all the way from power on, about 15 seconds.

Hi, I'm trying to flash WP7 on my tmobile HD2. I had HSPL3, the 2.15 ver radio. After installing MAGLDR 1.2, when I boot up holding the power button down, the phone automatically boots android from SD. (I had it on my SD card before but didn't think it would be a problem).
Anyone know how to fix this?
It just says Booting Android from SD,
Android load etc
load z image,,
stops at GO GO GO! then just hangs. Hope I didn't screw up.. thought I was following the directions carefully.
You mean magldr 1.12?
"services"-->"Bootsettings"-->"Boot source"
Figured it out. Wasn't holding the power button down early enough. Thanks!

Easier to enter the boot menu, is to hold the power button to startup your phone and hold the button until the menu appears ^^
How do I get into magldr again?
If I hold volume down and power on button, it goes to screen with 4 colors.
What do I do then? Already got all the addons such as hspl installed.
Hi, just hold the power button longer, also magdlr is shown on the device.

Did that, and nothing.
I do see magldr when starting it up normally though. It boots an old rom that I don't want.
Anyone at all?
So when the phone powers up, you're holding the power button, and the menu still doesn't show up? Well then, reinstall MAGLDR though the tri color screen then, it won't wipe your current android data, dun worry. Or you can task 29, install MAGLDR, then reinstall your android build.
Switch the phone on and keep holding the power button in until you get to the menu.

It does kinda show up though, for 3 seconds and then it will say go go go!
it's booting up a old rom though.

This worked! thank you sir.
If you hold volume down and power on button you will enter bootloder (spl 2.08 )
If you switch off your device and switch it back on AND NOT LET GO OF THE POWER BUTTON, you will inter magldr menu.
You need to keep the power button pressed in until it boots into the menu, don't let it go until you see the menu options.
Edit: Ok, see you got it working.
Lawl that's hilarious. xD
I'm sorry, just found this funny. xD
Hi guys, I have searched and searched and searched but cannot get anything I've tried...
Essentially, I got an HD2 today, flashed HyperDroid and all was good, until I wanted to access CWM via the mgldr menu, I tried to access it but it just would not work. Holding the power button would just boot the phone, it displays some text that I cannot remember then '1234 GO GO GO!'
So instead I tried to boot into CWM from ROM Manager, but that didn't work either, it just booted the phone as usual.
So I did a task29, started all over again, flashed a different ROM and the same thing..
I really am lost, any help would be much appreciated.
no offence intended here
Task 29 wipes the phone,
put phone in bootloader, turn on holding volume down,
install magdlr, then the phone will only boot to magdlr, make sure you have appropriate radio to boot.
you should now only have Magdlr on the phone and nothing will boot and you can go through the process of installing cwm to get a android build up and running.
to access magdlr when you have a build be it android or wp7, turn the phone on when it vibrates press the power button and keep holding it down until the magdlr screen appears

None taken, I guess I misread the instructions on all the other threads, I thought you just had to hold power until it booted into mgldr, not press it, release, then press again. Thanks mate!

its just the way ive always got into magdlr but np hopefully u get sorted.
I have been trying to nand install android on my HD2 but everything i do failed.
Before i continue i would like to set the HD2 back to factory default (wm6.5) but no i can not get in the multicolored bootloader screen. aMagldr V1.13 is installed and when i start the phone holding down the power button it starts aMagldr and not the original bootloader screen so i can;t install wm6.5. The only OS i can install is Windows Phone 7 but i do not want to use that system.
Ihope someone can help me with my problem, i have been surfing this forum for the last 5 days but can not find what i am doing wrong. I hope i have given enough information.

yes, because thats how you start magldr, , , with power held.
Bootloader however you hold VOLDOWN, not power.
sorry, i meant to write volume button.
so just to be certain ... you are HOLDING volume down AND power/endcall TOGETHER for at least 8 seconds?
I have tried it about a thousand times in a lot of different ways.
comes up a fair bit this one, , cannot access bootloader, , , the only actual time ive seen it fixed, and i think ive seen it fixed on two separate occasions, , was dismantling it and disconnecting the bottom hard keys., , not that i'm recommending you do that, of course.
I have a busted power button (end call button) and was wondering if I could boot into MAGLDR without it directly booting straight to android. I know that I'm supposed to press the power button at the MAGLDR boot sequence to reach the menu that lets me use CM recovery but I'm not able to do that. Is there any way in which I can install a new ROM on my phone without actually using MAGLDR and CM recovery? Or any other way to make me reach the MAGLDR menu screen?

You could try getting into the bootloader then flashing everything from scratch. To get into the bootloader without the power button I think you can take off the back cover and press the small reset button near the SD slot (using a pin or toothpick) while holding volume down. From there, if that actually works, you can flash a Task 29 followed by MAGLDR, CWM and a new ROM.
Or alternatively, there is an old legend that says "reboot into recovery" & "reboot into bootloader" from within Android let you reboot into MAGLDR, do you believe in legends?
(According to the scrolls, this legend may only be true if you have Android already installed obviously)
EDIT:
Actually, you can do that without having android working (e.g. you're stuck at the ROM splash screen or in a bootloop). Just use adb to reboot into recovery/bootloader and you should be in MAGLDR.
Apparently the scrolls were wrong.
You do realize that I mentioned that my power button was busted so it wasn't possible for me to boot into recovery through the power-restart prompt menu from within the ROM after booting. Or is there any other way to get that prompt from within the ROM? Infact from what I know, telling it to boot into recovery never did work on my HD2....I had to press the end call every time I wanted it to get to the MAGLDR menu.

And I did use adb before posting this here but it boots straight to Android. That doesn't work.

You know what really grinds my gears? When people say "it's not working" to what you give them before they even try it out . (j/k)
Glad you got it working.

FTFY
OP, reboot into recovery/bootloader never worked in MAGLDR. Those options only work in cLK. +1 to 'glad you got it working'.
