Before I start I googled and tried methods I could and all failed.
My phone was working Link Hereperfect with no issues I had installed the DFT LEO Stock Desire NAND Rom.
A week ago it died and I charged it and powered it back up and got the white screen. It wouldnt go away until I pushed the yellow button on the back. Problem solve I would think.
Two days ago on my way to San Francisco it restarted and turned white. I tried all methods I found here and google none work. when I hold the down vol button I do get the 3 color screen and thats it. I attached an picture of what my phone says.

bump for what? You are just stating what happened to your phone.
My boys hd2 did this too... I plan on doing some extensive trouble shooting later this week so ill try to help you out if I can get it fixed. I guess, bottom line is, if you want android, buy an android device. ;-P
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
help us to help you
@jose makalolot
I like your answer... full of sense
@isaiah33
Do you realize that you didn't ask anything?
Do you post these nice explanations to inform us that stopping a device by removing suddenly its power supply is not good?
Then ok, thanks. Ask for a sticky.
@crx4xharder
If you're boy's phone can only boot in the first level loader... I think a week-end if long enough to make extensive trouble shooting
Ok, I agree I'm not nice... it's just to make you realize that if you want to ask someting... then ask, no need to make us imagine the question you may want someone to answer.
My question is how do I get this fixed? How do I get android back up and running. I want to get rid of this white screen.

What was the version of MAGLDR you had anyway? The ROM you are/were running is outdated by today's standards anyway.
I would do a task29 and start over. Then flash MAGLDR 1.3, CWM 1.3 and then a new ROM.

If you get bootloader simply flash a stock WM rom or MAGLDR, whats hard about that?
i tried flashing with task29 but it sticks at 0%
Do not use task29 for your problem. Fortunatly it doesn't "clear" the first level bootloader.
Press the vol-down key.
In boot loader, flash:
a/ a WM6 ROM (to do this you can just put a LEOIMG.nhh on the root of your SD)
b/ MAGLDR (the version you need for the build you want)
If you want to put a DFT build. In MAGLDR (so press "end call" and start the phone... keep end call pressed) choose the option "USB flasher" (something like this.
With DFT (in admin) flash:
a/ a DFT build
b/ CWM
If CWM, boot in MAGLDR, choose "AD Recovery" (for CWM 1.13)
In CWM choose the option to flash a zip build.
That's all... good question, good answer.
All what I said if well expained in diffferent sticky. You will find there a lot of step-by-step or video explanations.
Hope this helps.
He doesn't need to clear the first-level bootloader. You can see from his screenshots that he gets into the bootloader just fine. Task29 will format the NAND storage just as flashing a WinMo ROM does. The RUU does a task29 as part of the flashing process anyway. Doing just a task29 saves the time of flashing the ROM.
Either way, you don't "flash" task29. You run the command via mtty. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying when you "flash" task29 and it stayed at 0%.
What was the meaning of my "Fortunatly"
Clear the first level... brick the phone.
So for you task29 is equivalent to flashing a WM?
With or without radio?
(real question, I really don't know exactly what it's doing...)
I know that it "cleans" the NAND but it's not enough for me.
Anyway, I realize it will be better for me to read the dedicated thread or search on google.
For him I keep my advice to do all (task29, full flash from the beggining including WM). It's useless normally but as he has a problem...

I tried updating the stock rom and it has a issue when it comes to the radio it says Radio Fail. This is the right rom I downloaded it off the tmobile website. I dont know why its failing. If you could help truc007 I am willing to help donate to you if I ge it working.
I couldnt flash the task29 so I ran the commands in mtty and flashed a rom and booted, still wsod...
Just flash back to the original ROM, then update radio, install magldr.

Ok guys please help me since I couldn't find the answer
I installed on my hd2:
-HSPL 2.08
-Radio 2.15.50.14
-Magldr 1.13
-CMR
First of all I noticed that I dont have to hold the power button to get into the magldr menu.
I couldn't get into Boot As SD so I wanted to flash winmo stock rom from bootloader. Unfortunately I can't do that. Even tried HR. Is there any solution to flash stock ROM
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Don't use MAGLDR to flash your ROM. Hold the Volume Down rocker when you turn you phone on to access the bootloader (tri-color screen) and then plug your phone into your computer via USB. You should then be able to flash your stock ROM with no trouble.
Alternative: To go full stock, including going back to the stock SPL, check my signature for a link on flashing via the SD card.
Thank you for you reply After several attempts I managed to get my winmo back on via SD because RUU couldn't see my phone
Two questions: So do I still have MAGLDR and CMR after flashin' that stock rom ?
I can see in the bootloader that I'm back on SPL 3.03. Does that mean that I'm back on warranty and HSPL2 is uninstalled?
Thanks!

Yeah you lose everything. Yeah, if you needed to send it away now, you could as it has stock everything. May I ask, why did you install MAGLDR then not even use it properly? What were you trying to do? Dual boot WP7 & Android?
thanks!
Don't you worry I was doing everything by the book
Maybe you know why MAGLDR was turnin on even when I didn't hold the power button ?

When MAGLDR can't find anything to boot up (no properly installed ROM) it defaults to the same menu you see when holding the power button down.
It's strange cause the ROM was flashed properly, at least I think so. It was working properly...
MAGLDR was probably turning your phone in because it was connected to a power source. This had to be done because there was a bug in the old Magldr where you had to keep pulling out the battery. It doesn't go to the bootloader (HSPL) though. It'll boot up and say kernel failed.
What are you trying to do now, reinstall magldr?
Tried couple times and I didn't manage to install Android using MAGLDR 1.13 and CMR.
Now I'm back to WinMo and done for now with flashing Android. Don't want to have an expensive paper holder.
You probably had the wrong partition size in CWM.
I don't think there is really a way of bricking your phone doing this other than flashing an imcompatible radio. I've never had any trouble with flashing with CWM or MAGLDR. You say in your first post, you were trying to boot SD AD? You know that's not for .zips from CWM? That's for people who want to dual-boot WP7 and Android, you have to boot AD NAND for CWM.
CWM was already prepared by the developer
Oh...I was following the video tutorial and the guy gets into the recovery mod by getting into the SD AD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pxucOLY488
Actually I stuck at that point
That's the old way! There's a new way where you just flash a DFT and you go to AD Recovery in magldr an poof! CWM.
Here's the thread just incase you feel like doing it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
Don't forget to update your HSPL and radio before doing anything though as you're back on sh*tty WinMo.
I will check on it since you're encouraging me not to give up
Ha ha! Yeah, well I like helping people and Android is just a way better OS then WinMo. Any troubles, just post here and I'll try to help.
Thanks mate, really appreciate your help
No problem. So did you get it working yet or what?
PS. don't forget that thanks button if I've helped. ;D
Not today mate, maybe tommorow will let you know
[EDIT] Wait...today is "tommorow" so "maybe later" I'd say
did it already post #12
Nice... You might aswell do it now then... so you can spend tomorrow looking for apps and getting used to Android.
If I wouldn't have to write my MA dissertation, I would have my HD2 running Android by now
Have you tried it yet?
I'm currently having problems with my HD2 too.
Let's hope this stock ROM works.
My phone has been running an Android NAND for a couple of months, and the other day it just froze and then on rebooting i get a plain white screen.
I can get to the bootloader and so far nothing flashes to it
HSPL - Critical Error
SD-CARD flash - red numbers or just continual loading
USB flash - sits at 0% then gets error
so what killed my phone?
and is there ANY way i can get it working again, if not...i will throw it in the bin or perhaps smash it up with a hammer and post a youtube video here...im that annoyed! I wouldnt mind if i continually flashed roms, but i didnt...flashed on Android NAND and now its dead.
Find yourself a standard Winmobile rom and radio for the HD2 (if yours is a TMOUS device make sure you choose the correct radio and rom type for this device) and flash them to your device. With a bit of luck your device should then boot up.
If you then wish to go down the Android route again then read and follow all the instructions on here to do so. Don't forget to make sure your battery is fully charged before you attempt the reflash.
Good luck, hope it goes well.

hi,
the battery is fully charged, but this is the problem i have..i cannot flash anything to it via sdcard or usb both give errors.

Do you still have the Andriod ROM on your HD2? If so boot into MAGLDR by turning the HD2 off and then pressing andbolding down the power button. Then use the volume up and down keys to scoll through the menu and find recovery and press the send button to select.
If you nolonger have the Andriod ROM then I suggest running a Task 29 on your HD2 then try to flash the official ROM to your HD2. If you are still having trouble getting it to flash do not get discuraged just keep tring to get it to flash, heck trythe USB method for awhile then try the SD card method for awhile. For some unknown reason to me a lot of people here on XDA have been having trouble getting their HD2 to flash a ROM. But all of them just kept trying and eventually got it to flash a ROM. Best of luck.
tried and tried and tried again, anyone wants this brick for free, i will post.

Did you run a Task 29 on your HD2 as I mentioned in my previous post? I beleive this will help you out. Also if you still have MAGLDR on your HD2 you can try to reflash the Andriod ROM. If you no longer have MAGLDR on your HD2 then you can reflash HSPL 2.08 and reflash MAGLDR by usinig the bootloader and the try flashing the Adriod ROM. Just make sure the white bar of the bootloader screen says USB and not Serial before you try to flash anything.
T-Mac, I have this problem. It's not something as simple as with MAGLDR or CWM. You can't even get a bootscreen let alone flash anything from HSPL (everything sticks at %0) lol.
Dude, your best bet is to try go flash a custom WinMo ROM. I used one of Artemis' ROM's. It had a .nbh file so I renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh and put on my SD card (512-4GB max) and then boot to HSPL and it'll allow you to flash the ROM.
It'll flash correctly but once it reboots it'll go back to the white screen. After that, it'll be able to charge when off so let it charge overnight while off, then in the morning try unplug the USB from the phone then pull battery and put it back in then try boot. It worked like 3 times for me so you might aswell try it.
I personally think it's a problem with MAGLDR and maybe it becomes corrupt or something.
hi
im gonna try this now, but i have a small problem...it did flash HSPL and now it is on 2.08.000 and it wont flash back
its one nightmare after another.
made a little progress, when trying to flash stock rom from sd it just sits on loading.... no error but doesnt do anything else.
Try this turn your HD2 off and remove the battery for a couple of minutes and then put the battery back in. I do not know if the HD2 has a reset like this or not. But a lot of electronicsreset certain things when all power is disconnected. This may not help but what can it hurt. Best of luck.

I'll take it. In this day of T-Mo being sold off, I need a challenge to distract me and keep me happy
So i tried flashing an android ROM but its stuck on the AD recovery go go go screen.
I also wanna task 29 but I don't know how to get to the bootloader from MAGLDR 1.3
someone help please !
ummm i dunno if magldr can switch you into the bootloader, but doesn't the regular way to get to the bootloader work?
regular way:
1. make sure phone is OFF...take out the battery and plug it back in to make sure
2. hold down the volume down button
3. tap the power/end call button to power on the device
4. keep holding down volume down button
...bootloader should appear!
i guess you are a senior member so you must be looking for something else, it can't be as simple as above, is it?

Mate,
how about flashing stock rom via SD? dont use your old sd, get the new one, and try to flash the stock rom.
If you can pass that, then you can go back to try magldr again
or else,
I think it may be a hardware issue related, may be the volume down button is damaged. If this the case, since you are in android nand, you cant flash stock rom from USB sync
I hope that is not the case though
goodluck

Hey blackashsid, sorry to hear you are having troubles. Without being able to get to the SPL bootloader you will not be able to flash any .nbh file to your HD2. This translates to you not being able to flash a Windows Mobile ROM stock or custom, a different radio version, splash screen, any HSPL or SPL, or cLK. And yes flashing via SD card is no good to you without the SPL bootloader.
Option #5 USB Flasher in MAGLDR will only flash CWM or A DAF ROM.
Your issue is somewhat strange to me, I really don't understand why you are having this issuer unless it is hardware related.

its like i am stuck with MAGLDR

any ideas what is causing this ??
i will really appreciate it !
EDIT: also i noticed all of my DAF ANdroid ROMS get stuck at the splash screen...only WP7 made it !! i want android !
any reason why this happend ?
if you installed wp7 then it isnt an issue wth the phone, its quite possible the roms you are trying to install
Download again the rom you want to use... and make sure you read installing process - every android rom has his specific installing process - clockwork , ext3 ,ex4 etc etc.
I hope you solve your prolem

If the last step you took was to install magldr, of course your phone won´t boot, since you didn´t flash any build the phone could run on?
Or have i missed something?
Normaly, if you are setting things up to install some android build you have to run a file called daf.exe (only as an example, i´ve been flashing just one particular build with magldr), that daf.exe will partition the nand according to the needs of the build, that particular daf.exe was delivered with.
Now you have to enter "ad recovery" from the magldr menu (power on and keep power button pushed) and from there you would have to install from zip.
Have you been that far taking all the necessary steps? Leaving out the nand partitioning with the daf.exe is a common mistake i have read often about.
Thanks so much for those posts.
I think I have damaged the phone now trying things ..!
OK it has been 3 days and nights of trying stuff, let me try and summarise where I am at.
I managed to get magldr working, and used the menus to browse to a ZIP rom on the SD card and flashed it.
It was stuck in a continuous boot loop - see Andriod splash for about 10 secs, then reboot, repeats...
The best way forward from what I could read in threads was to just re install a stock ROM and start again, and try another cooked ROM. It was during this process that it failed, it now seems to have NO firmware on it, as I do not get any radio version numbers or anything.
NOW when I boot the phone - I cannot get magldr. It just goes to the white HTC splash screen and hangs forever.
Everything I try to flash now is stuck at 0% and never completed.
THE ONLY thing I seem to be able to install / get to talk to the HD2 is HSPL4, which when completed gives me the "WE HACKED IT" message. Apart from that I cannot install radios, roms or MAGLDR.
However the MAGLDR flash process DOES show 100% completion, I just cant get it to load by holding power button. As I mentioned above, I DID have MAGLDR working previously but wont play ball now.
Thanks for any tips, I think I need to not look at it for a while.
UPDATE = for some reason, it is now accepting the stock Telstra ROM flash process...?
STILL NO MAGICLDR so I cant load my cooked ROMS.. any suggestions are hugely appreciated.

However the MAGLDR flash process DOES show 100% completion, I just cant get it to load by holding power button. As I mentioned above, I DID have MAGLDR working previously but wont play ball now.
Thanks for any tips, I think I need to not look at it for a while.
UPDATE = for some reason, it is now accepting the stock Telstra ROM flash process...?
STILL NO MAGICLDR so I cant load my cooked ROMS.. any suggestions are hugely appreciated.

Hi,
I would suggest KEVIN134's TOOLKIT (Don't forget to thank him)
Read the thread carefully and follow his step by step guide for beginners.
Try to install one of his suggested ROMS.You can always change it at a later date.
At least you will have something.
OK thanks. I have now gotten original Telstra ROM back. I hope to start fresh in the morning and follow your link to the letter. I hope it is a good guide for beginners, as so many other seem to claim that and have no plain english steps or screenshots. I truly appreciate your post, cheers.
Tried that app, it cannot find any of the apps it tries to install/use? Maybe I need sleep.

You are talking about HSPL4, i would suggest you use HSPL3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6894936&postcount=2).
You know how to flash back to stock winmo? Hold the volume down button while turning on the phone to enter the boot loader, connect with USB and wait for confirmation on the screen below (serial changes to usb), and then flash the stock Rom.
I never used the toolkits, never needed them so i would propose the following steps for you, to start from scratch (so we can take it step by step together, i think we need to have the same base to be able to make a statement about your phone).
After flashing WinMo Stock Rom, install HSPL3 (the one in the linke above, HSPL3_PKG.exe).
Then use task29 to flash the 2.15.50.14 radio.
After that install MAGLDR113 and then, if i were you , i would install coredroid v1.6. (http://hotfile.com/dl/113345298/fb3f69b/HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.6_Release_Version.rar.html)
To do that, enter the magldr menu by keeping the power button pressed while turning on your phone, enter USB Flasher from the menu and after connection has been established, run the DAF.exe which will partition the NAND for you.
After that reboot into cwm, enter the usb mass storage option, copy the zip file on the sd card and from there install from zip.
This procedure has worked every single time for me, maybe it will for you, too?

Thanks for offering to walk me through this, you have saved my sanity.
OK I am back to stock WinMo Rom.
I have HSPL3 installed (not 4, 3 as you say).
"Then use task29 to flash the 2.15.50.14 radio"
You might have to explain this to my feeble mind. I thought task29 deleted all data? How would it upgrade the radio?
Thanks again

Task 29 can be used to flash the radio as well, so these two steps can be taken as one.
All you would have to do is copy the radio in the same directory as the rest (task29) and rename it to RUU_signed.nbh, so this procedure will install the new radio as well.
Take that one from here:

Thanks Cheech! OK gotta sleep but trying this 1st thing tomorrow, will report.

All right, have a good nights rest
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Thanks for that extra step explained...
I have read the thread, and downloaded the ZIP that was linked that has task 29 and the radio together. About to do it now.
OK that has completed, and it has rebooted, and now shows the white screen with HTC green logo, and stays there. This right?
I think it is.. as I have now flashed MAGLDR 1.13. Am now downloading the rom you suggested
UPDATE: I am done.. your suggested rom is installed and working!!
I am so relieved.
FYI here are the last steps I took.
* Used the Task 29 and radio update instructions from the link.
Once that was done it was a white screen with HTC logo - I then rebooted into HSPL bootloader on HTC device.
* Flashed magldr 1.13 - was very quick.
THESE NEXT STEPS ARE FROM THE QWORD DOC INCLUDED IN THE RAR FILE FROM THE SUGGESTE ROM - great stuff this doco.
1. After downloading HD2 CoreDroid DHD V*.*.rar, extract it to a folder on your PC of your choice.
2. Turn your unplugged HD2 on and boot into the MAGLDR 1.13 menu by holding down the power (right) button after initial vibration.
3. Using volume down move to number 5. USB Flasher
4. Push call button (left) and enter the USB flasher screen. You will see “USB Flasher mode Wait USB…”
5. Plug USB cable into the HD2, you should now see “USB Flasher mode Wait USB… USB
6. Go to the extracted HD2 CoreDroid DHD *.* folder on PC, and execute the DAF.exe. On newer windows buttons, right click and run as administrator.
7. Press next twice, and the installation will begin.
8. When finished press finish.
9. After the installation your HD2 will reboot into MAGLDR 1.13 menu.
10. Using the volume down button move to down to number 8. AD Recovery and press call button (left).
11. Your unplugged HD2 will now boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery menu.
12. IF YOU DID NOT BACKUP YOU SDCARD DATA DO IT BEFORE YOU PROCEED IT WILL BE FORMATED.
13. With volume down button advance to the advanced menu press left button.
14. Advance down to Partition SD Card menu.
15. Select minimum (512m) maximum (1024m). Your choice which one to use. Recommended is the 1024m, then press call button (left).
16. Select the 0m with the call button (left).
17. Wait until the process is finished.
18. Do not reboot! Stay in the ClockworkMod Recovery.
19. When finished “done” will appear in the lower half of the screen.
20. Press right button.
21. Using Volume down button move to “-mounts and storage”
22. Press end button (right).
23. Move down to mount USB storage
24. Press call button (left).
25. A new drive should be mounted to your PC.
26. Navigate to MyComputer and open the new drive (ex: F: E: G: etc…)
27. Go to the HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.12 folder
28. Copy the HD2_Core_DroidDesire_HD_V1.12.zip to the HD2 sd card root (the new mounted drive ex: F.
29. When finished copying and unmounts is selected, press the call button (left).
30. Press the back button
31. Move down to “-install zip from sdcard”, and press call button (left).
32. Move down to “-choose zip from sdcard”, and press call button (left).
33. Select the CoreDroid_V*.*.zip, press left button
34. Wait till it´s finish flashing, you will then see a flashing “CoreDroid”. Flash options will reappear.
35. Push end button (right).
36. Select “Reboot system now”
37. Let HD2 reboot giving it time. Wait at least +/- 10 minutes.
Once the phone has booted, let the syncs take place, wait for about 20 minutes, then reboot.
Totally worked for me. i thought I had bricked, I though no roms would hold.... this was done in an hour!
Cheech, you are the man thanks so much.

Cheech your help was awesome, it has been your posts that meant I have had a phone for the past week.
Now not wanting to sound ungrateful, but I have to report that ROM you suggested runs really bad on my HD2. Very laggy, even to unlock the screen will hang 2 time out of 3. Oh well, I am starting to learn the same rom on the same hardware can act very differently.. sad face.
If I had to state the function I HAVE to have in my ROM it would be obviously good phone and text ability, music player with resume and bluetooth, a browser, email client, and something to play videos.
Is there a very lightweight ROM that will give me the above functions but maybe run a little better on my HTC HD2 (and are as easy to install as the one I have already tried)? Thanks heaps for any tips.
I jumped in, and using your great direction from before have a new rom on my HD2...
NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.8_NAND_(Android-2.3.4)_update
Wow, so much faster and snappier. Love the way Google resynced my apps and some settings!!
Gonna play with this for another few days.
EDIT: seems there is always something.. this ROM not finding my Wireless network. Finds all the ones around me but just wont find mine - even with apps to manage it. My kingdom for a lean ROM for my HD2!!!
Edit 2: Turns out Android 2.3 sets the WiFi channels to end at 11.
Our wireless was higher than that.
Advanced settings and increasing the WIFI channels to the full 14, saw my network straight away.
Took quite a bit of Googling to figure that one out.
Please delete.

dude help me my htc stuck on htc logo and do not boot
Well, so here's my first post and this issue has been frustrating me because usually I find my answers online but anyways here's the problem. (Edit: Ok I realized I posted once before, so I guess 2nd my bad aha)
So, my HD2 had TyphooN CyanogenMod 7.2 RC2 v3.8.3 ROM on it cLK. One day my phone was always stuck on the T-mobile Stay together screen, I rebooted it over a good 20 times and still was always stuck. So I decided to just Task 29 it using the HD2 Toolkit (thanks ksubedi) (well I didn't know if that was a good idea or not because I'm not root smart aha, but I did it anyways) What I know when you Task 29 it, it wipes out everything, so I started the whole process again but with the HD2 Tookit. Everything was fine, running smoothing installing everything again, up until when I have to install ClockWorkMod on it. When I want to flash CWM its just always on the "waiting for device" on the command prompt and here iss the picture of my phone (provided)
Then I looked into more and I wasn't able to install the android_winusb.inf file because I have Windows 7 or something and I always get a failed error when trying to install it. (sorry yes I'm clueless aha) So I looked into it more and found the Android SDK thing and downloaded the Google USB driver. Still no luck when trying to install CWM.
But here is my downfall. I was so frustrated I was trying everything, so in the HD2 Toolkit I decided to install HSPL 2.08. My phone already had HSPL if I'm not mistaken if you already have the 3 color things when you press volume down and end call, (but again I'm clueless) So after that I Task 29, but here's the catch it will not do it. Before installing HSPL I could task 29 and it would take 15 seconds to go 100% but now its always 0, and gives me an error.
So that's my problem (probably more cause I screwed it up myself). But any help with be really appreciated!
Did you try manually installing the USB driver from the device manager?
As for the spl, are you sure you installed the 2.08.Hspl version (what does it exactly say on the RGB bootloader?)
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
Τry to install clk v1.5.It has built in recovery and on the fly re-partition.So you`ll not need pc and usb drivers.
Will try when I come back after school. Finally some replies! I remember downloading HSPL 2.08.0000 or something. Does it exactly have to be 2.08?

It must be 2.08.HSPL or 3.03.HSPL. the one ending in 0000 will block you from flashing unofficial images other than HSPL. So you can just flash back the hspl version again.

Hey I tried this method, and also the one previously provided but still no luck. With the person saying get HSPL 2.08 I did it, got to the end where clk 1.4 or something (not clk 1.5) but the command line ends at porcharge. Theres no fastboot commands like in other pictures I look like and when I do cLK Install Recovery on the NAND Toolkit, the command prompt keeps waiting on the device.
So now I tried the cLK 1.5 method. I followed kylew1212's guide using the first way with the NAND Toolkit, Task 29, then did the INstall RUU. Everything went smoothly but I'm back to my first problem. It's stuck at the T-mobile stick together screen :/
If you press back button when phone restarts,doesnt get you in clk ? Or if you hold home when phone restarts,doesnt get you in recovery ?

Sorry if I'm dumb lol. But the only way to turn on the phone is holding the red end key right, thats the only that it turns on for me. And its stuck at the stick together T-mobile logo. It doesn't go into recovery or anything. How would I be able to restart my phone with being on the T-mobile stick together screen without taking out the batteries and such??
Finally some success I'm on this screen now! Now to find a guide on how to work with cLK 1.5 aha.
Hmm. While restarting and pressing the back arrow and end key, I'm able to get into cLK. No like with home and end key though. And when I do click on Recovery it's trying to boot into Linux or something and no progress shows. "cmdline: no_console_suspend=1 wire.search_count=5 clk=1.5.0.0" Do I just have to wait longer or something. Also in the information on cLK 1.5 its just blank after Radio. Do I need a Radio of some sort?
Don't worry about that just boot into recovery and flash zip.

Damn, I'm pretty clueless. But when I click recovery and get into the next screen nothing happens. How do I flash the zip if I'm unable to access the HD2 sd card with putting in the zip file.

Hmm. I tried with the original 5mb recovery sector and 10mb recovery sector still no success. I'm stuck with this screen when I click on recovery. I'm also curious if I should have a RADIO or something, because of the cLK 1.5 homescreen where it gives information its blank (pictures provided)

I've never installed magldr before, but I'll get back to you about it.
Well..problems with MAGLDR aswell. Everything goes smoothly until the USB Flashing and the AD Recovery. When doing USB Flashing the process is fine but when it goes "Reset now..." It never resets, but I'm guessing it flashed already. So when I go to AD Recovery it goes "1EFATAL HIT 1", I've looked up the problems for this, and so I've task 29 it again, installed 2.15.50.14 radio. Tried different cache size and partition size, but always no luck what so ever. So lost in this :/

I really appreciate that your helping me, but I'm almost there! Now encountered to another problem. Now when I do USB Flashing it finally resets itself. But when I click the AD Recovery its stuck at "GO GO GO!" I'm using the NAND Toolkit, and I tried two different partition and cache size 200/8 and 250/8. I have no idea how much I should bump these up too, and the ROM I'm trying to install is the NexusHD2, if that helps.
EDIT: FINALLY INTO CWM!!!! Hmm. I was looking around and there was this guy said to move the 3 pin connecters in the battery or something. So I was like what the heck and just did it, and now im in CWM. Thanks man. I really appreciate for you to always reply back when I needed help. Wouldn't have gotten through without you!
