You want sense-based or pure gingerbread?
Rooting for beginners can be found in the sticky roll up thread, the first thread in nand page.

he doesnt really mean 'root', he means how to flash it.
@OP
step by step (ill let you look up the details)
into bootloader (do all your flashing from here) connect usb and wait for 'serial' --> 'USB'
*at each step when the phone reboots, immediately hold vol down to re enter bootloader*
hspl4.exe (see my sig) - choose 2.08.hspl
bootloader
if you have a regular hd2 flash a radio, 2.11.50.x or higher.
If you have a tmous you can skip the radio step.
bootloader
flash magldr
when phone restarts, press and hold end key till magldr menu appears
(you can actually start pressing the end key just before the first boot logo vanishes, save 5 seconds wear and tear on the end key, hehe)
You are now ready to flash android roms, in several ways, (nand via daf.exe, nand via clockwork zip, you can flash wp7 using magldr, use magldr to boot to android on teh sd card, etc etc). Far too many variants to cover in a simple 123.

[Q] PLEASE HELP NEEDED - Beginner

I am trying to re-flash WIN6.5 with no luck
1. I installed HSPL2.8 and MAGDLR 1.13 with the hope of trying CWM and loading Android to NAND.
2. I used ClockworkMod Recovery to install zip from SDCard using TyphooN_CM7_v2.8.0-cLK.zip
3. Progress looked like install was completed
4. When re-booting, got message NAND Kernel open failed
I TRIED TO REFLASH MY WIN6.5 from the RED/GREEN/BLUE bootloader menu but now I do not get a valid connection via USB
The Bootloader screen shows 'USB' at the bottom and when I click the Custom_RUU.exe I used to load my Custom Win6.5 ROM I get the first screen showing the update button etc. but when I press update, the progress bar appears on the PC and my HD2 but no update actually occurs
FINALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES I GET A 'RECOVERY SCREEN' and update failed message.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP???? I will gladly 'Donate' some beer money
when you turn on your phone hold the red power button until the magldr screen pops up then go to flash to usb then download the stock rom for win 6.5 it should be in the win6.5 development threads on XDA the rom should be a .exe file, run the file once u establish a usb connection with the computer. if you can't get on the magldr screen, try going to the boot screen ( the one with the color stripes) and re-flash your magldr or the hspl4. as long as you can get into the magldr boot screen then you should be able to flash android or winmo. hope that helps.

This couldn't be more wrong lol. You can't flash WinMo ROM's from MAGLDR, only WP7 and Android.
Anyway why don't you just try flash a different Android ROM? Even one that has a daf and not a .zip that you have through CWM.
If you do want to go back to stock though, download your stock ROM from the HTC site or T-mobile depending on which phone you have (T-mobile say t-mobile at the top and has red and green call/end buttons). Then once you've downloaded it, rename the file to .zip (should be .exe by default) then using WinRar open the file and look for a file that ends with '.nbh' in WinRar. Once you've found that file just extract it to wherever you want and rename it to 'LEOIMG.nbh'. Once you've done that, place it on the root of your SD card, then POP your SD card back in to your HD2, boot to HSPL (tri colour) and you'll come to a screen which will allow you to flash the ROM from SD and you're done.
PS. you need a 4GB or smaller SD card to flash it.
Good luck.

WOW!! for a newbie, u sure know how to go for d big guns ...Anyway according to your post, i tk it u downloaded the "TyphooN_CM7_v2.8.0-cLK.zip" file ryt?...Well in [cLK/MAGLDR]TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2+ v2.8.4's thread, it tells you there are two ways to install this particular build...I'm guessing u tried installing the "TyphooN_CM7_v2.8.0-cLK.zip" thru MAGLDR-CWM instead of following Charmacas's cLk tutorial.
So in d spirit of learning, Start d whole process again (Task 29, etc), go back to the build's thread (link above), choose which method is most comfortable 2 u ( i recommend MAGLDR) and re-download the latest & APPROPRIATE build for the process or just download from the links below....
MAGLDR Method.
cLK Method.
Nw abt reflashing WinMO, U've got HSPL installed so u r good...Just perform a Task 29 (dis wipes ur phone clean, leaving ur HSPL & radio intact) from the bootloader screen...Should usb fail? unplug n try another usb port on your pc...Then simply flash ur desired WinMo ROM.
This my friend is what happens when dev's instructions are not followed...Do read, understand n be more careful nxt time...Donate to the devs if i helped u.
All done !

[Q] HTC HD2 - stuck at HTC logo

Guys I hagve been reading this site for 2 days and am still very very confused as to actually move forward.
Been following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945427
Step by step even though there is no explaination as to why I do things And everytime I am thinking "do they mean i do this now???"
I mean a tutuorial for noobs should tell me this stuff????
So I got to here:
From the guide
5. install maglard 1.13 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893618
Run romupdateutility.exe as an admin and install
Now my phone not getting past HTC splash screen.
No numbers showing radio version or anything.
PLEASE - I am willing to take this step by step.., what is the next step I should take to get my phone working with a Android rom?
I thanks you in advance for any assitance. I am probably too frustrated to help myslef at this point. I have loaded custom firmwares on my iphones but this HTC process is doing my head in and the guides and youtube vids are not helping.
THE ONLY reason I am trying a new rom is I have a Telstra HD2 and not a Telstra sim. It seemed to want to use Telstra for data, and I was advised the easiest (ha!0 way to do this is get a cooked rom and load it.
Thanks for your help.

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.

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:

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.

Have you got Windows Mobile Device Center installed on your PC? If not then install it.
@Nigeldg..you cant run activesync without windows mobile centre...can you?
Ok maybe I need to add that Im doing this from a Win Xp Pc...so it has windows active sync
Anybody with advice please?
It may be a cable problem. Try another cable.
That's because hspl is installed from the radio screen.
Power down phone.
Press &hold volume down + end key
Your phone boots into tri color screen.
Now flash hspl.
I have written a step by step guide if you need more help.

@kylew1212...when I do that it starts with the tri color screen the the screen goes white and the mesage "loading......" comes up and stays like that forever....
Next thing I dont understand because maybe Im not that technical minded...what does it mean to " flash hspl" in normal english?
Only press volume down AND keep holding hit, and boot the device.
flash hspl means "double click on the HSPL4 package, run as admin, next, select 2.08 HSPL, next, next, wait, finish .... you are done and your phone will now reboot."

Depends entirely on your preference. The three main types of ROM are CM7, MIUI and Sense. Sense has the best eye candy and UI (in my opinion) but has low performance, CM7 is fast and stable, and I've never used MIUI cos I'm happy with CM7. However if you don't need gingerbread, Froyo with sense is brilliant.

I am busy downloading Ice Cream Sandwhich , what do you think of that ROM, and is it easy to remove and try a diffrent ROM?

ICS is still in beta, but is pretty impressive already. If you want a full working and stable rom however, then you should stick with gingerbread.
Thanks...im strugeling to understand all the jargan...
Or you can download the following predefined recovery and install it via usb flasher in Magldr menu ..what does that mean i real English?
or this..Flash via recovery..?
where can the newbies go and learn al this jargan?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but it literally means: "boot MAGLDR , go to the option "USB Flasher", connect your phone to your pc and then run the file you downloaded earlier (the predefined recovery)."

Flash via recovery is: Boot MAGLDR, then choose AD Recovery, and then "install zip from sd" or something like that, pick your rom from the list, hit "yes", and wait for it to finish.
If you want to know what Recovery (a.k.a cwm or cwr or clockworkmod recovery) and MAGLDR are, you need to do a little bit hard reading over here.
Thanks for your patients Marvlesz
Miui roms are good. However I don't know much about them. They text messaging is really nice though.
If your going to use ice cream sandwich you need to be using clk instead of magldr.. ICS (ice cream sandwich) is still beta, and magldr currently has more problems than clk.
If you don't understand how to use clk I've written a guide Here
Magldr is good, especially for other roms but clk is better for ics..

is there a way to install android in my htc hd2

Hello there;
I accedently wiped my htc hd2 using tak29 thinking I would be able to download android latest version. Now I wiped it completely and all I can get are three different sceens:
1- when I power it on I can get the white scree with htc logo and it stays still till I power it off.
2- when I power it on and hold it down simultanousely with vol down it takes me to the blue+green+white screen and usb script underneeth.
3- If I power it on and holds power on simultanousely with vol down and up I can get to factory reset but it wont do me any help.
Could you please tell me wher to go from here;
Thanks alot

^ And by cLK he means CWM
Thank you sam for your reply.
I seemed to get lost. I carfully read your scripts and downloaded them and extarcted them up but no avail. I stuk on the begining of the steps where it says "FLASH YOUR HTC HD2 WITH MAGLDR" The line shows 0% and nothihng changed. Would you mind if If you give to me in setps but very refined.
Thanks.
My apology sam.
It worked fine with me second time after I first installed "HARDSP"
Thank you so much.
Ya.
Downgrade to HSPL 2.08 and you have the ticket to Android.
HD2 Toolkit is your best friend.
What ROM do you use now?

How can i go from Magldr to Clk?

Currently on Mag, and want to go to Clk.
Can i use Hd2 toolkit??
if so, how?
if not, how??
Task29 and then install cLK.
task29 isnt required, but shouldnt do a harm to your nand, as long as you dont use it too much. Just download the latest clk build 1.5x, copy the .nbh file to your sd (sd sizes above 8gb coukd cause problems) and flash the file via the 3colored display (just start your mobile, hold down the volume down button till the 3colored display appears and wait a second.. you shoukd get automaticly asked if youbwant to install the leoimg.nbh file, confirm)

Agree with both post above me.
What I do (I use the HD2 Toolkit)
1. Task29
2. Choose my repartition size and cache, and click repartition (this install's cLK as well from the HD2 toolkit)
3. Let the phone boot in cLK and than press Install Recovery in the HD2 toolkit.
4. Hold the home button while the phone is on the white HTC screen and your phone will boot in Clockworkmod
5. Flash your rom
I wrote a manual a time ago for cLK, if you want to I can send it to you.
I've written a step by step guide for both magldr and clk if you still have questions.

I don't understand either. I mean if you don't know what you're doing, why don't you research and google it or something. I have no problem helping people, but I've already pointed you to the I've written which answers every question asked in this topic and other people have answered as well.
This is ridiculous if you can't read the responses people have given you which if you would've read in the first place have been answered 109283219837 times already.
No sympathy from me. This is spam, and a waste of time. PLEASE read before posting.

For flashing recovery, you need some command line experience. BTW, do you have the required drivers installed?

It will stay stuck on the T-Mobile screen because it has not OS!!!!!
Task29 is ok, after Task29 you have to get back to the tri color screen.
Than open HD2 toolkit, than select your partition size and cache and click repartition, this will install cLK
After this you let the phone boot untill you see the white screen you mentioned in another post, you are in cLK.
From here, go to HD2 toolkit, select install recovery and let the phone reboot (you need correct drivers for this)
Now hold the HOME button when rebooting and your in Clockworkmod.
I got it, it's working fine now
