Same here. Maybe its something to do with UK Hd2's.
I followed all the instructions too, and kept getting stuck in the boot screen loop.
Back to Nand for me... one thing, on screen before screen to flash zip it says can't find misc, even when I make a misc folder it makes no difference. Good luck to you anyway.

Can you tell us what you're doing and what happens?

i Copy contents of copytosdroot folder to the root of my sd.then i boot into magldr and go into USB Flasher whilst still connected to my laptop,Run DAF,when thats done i again boot into magldr and tap Boot AD SD but it keep failing to go into Clockwork,i keep getting soming like k:Music/zimage not found or failed to load kernal even tho ive fully formated my sd,its really anoying,i cant try out any new roms exept nand,Really frustrating

I had problems running like this initially - what worked was putting the 'copytosd' files in a folder on the SD Card (I used 'ADSD'), then changing the Boot AD SD folder option in the Settings menu to that new folder ('ADSD').
Then try using 'Boot AD SD' option.
For some reason it did not like the root folder initially (though it now seems to work fine).

Use Panasonic SD Card formatter & re format the SD card & try again, I had the same issues but now its resolved..!!!

Guys,
Mine works as well so not a UK issue
Did you follow the instructions using DAF and indicated that it was successful but when you try to 1: boot from sd nothing happens or it flashes and returns to the MAGLDR screen?
I had an issue with the root folder as well, create a folder \recovery and copy the 2 root files intrid.gz and zimage to the \recovery and goto services and change the boot to folder to \recovery.
Important reboot before trying as MAGLDR does not change the folder until after a reboot.
Boot from SD and should be OK
Or at least was for me

Now Nand has came out it has inspired a lot to create their own Android builds and new chefs make mistakes. Not trying to blame chefs in general but some do make mistakes.
Also when we used to load up the builds from SD card, I would say 8 times out of 10 I would use a data.img which hasnt been used before. Now if you go from a Sense build to a non-Sense build, and you are using a data.img in app2sd, then they are not properly matched so a-b might go to a-c and miss b out if you know what I mean. What I do is use a data.img for Sense, another for Sense HD/Z, another one for Gingerbread and another for Miui and these are on my Desktop. When I load up a different builds like Sense to Miui, then I will move the data.img from .data or data2sd folder off the memory card and then overwrite the data.img I have on the Desktop for Sense and replace it for my Miui data.img.
I know it sounds tedious but I found it to help.
Also for the new App2SD+, I create the partition using ClockWorkMod instead of another application. I will use Partition Wizard for Windows to delete a partition and resize the fat32 partition back to the full use of the memory card but always partition and create EXT3 partition using ClockWorkMod.
Hope this helps.

i have a slightly different problem: I can boot into clockwork recovery after copying the copy-to-sd files and use it as a partitioning tool. But cant actually complete the installation as I keep getting errors when i run the DAF file from CWM folder in USB flasher option of MAGDLR, so cant actually use it for recovery !!!!

What does this mean????

what does this error (SD KERNAL OPEN FAILED) mean when trying to run android from magldr 1.12? IF its the kernal how do i get and install the correct kernal to run android from magldr?

Your using an incompatible SD build.
You have to use a SD build specifically built for magldr, You cant just use any of the old ones unless you use the edited files with them.

Did you set magldr to boot from the folder you're build is in? You need to set that in magldr so it knows which folder to boot from. Settings, then 1st option, then 4th option i think.

Ok I got it to load I think. I had to set the directory. But now it just sits at the black HTC screen and then restarts. What did I do wrong now lol. Also is it normal to have wp7 running without an sd card in. Cause I flashed it without an sd card in. I read that its better to install without sd card. If so ways the point of all the partitioning. Thanks

Not sure whats wrong with the build... it may need to be edited to run from magldr. But about running wp7 without a sd, it'll run fine, but then you have no memory to install anything or do anything with the os. If you check, you probably only have about 10mb of memory left if you are running it without a sd card. That's why we're partitioning the cards, so we can give wp7 some of the space on the sd card and leave some space for android to run from.

Ok thanks. Just realized that once I took two pics of my son and it said low space. It says on the page that his rom can be ran from sd with magldr. But I guess I did sumthing wrong. Wish I could get this partitioning thing right. I can't understand it to save my life lol. I have 8gb sd.

Read this thread starting with post 235... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815&page=24
Post 235 has the basic directions, but instead of making the unformatted partition primary, you have to make it logical at first and then later use the minitools partition manager posted later in that thread to change it to primary. But it has to made logical at first to work. But read from that post up until end of thread and you should have a pretty good idea on how to partition it with just one card. It only ends up taking around 10 min or less when you do it right.

[Q] pleas i need your help :(

i have an htc hd2 i tryed yesterday to install android on it but i dint know how to do it anyone who wnats to help pleas contact me amro__12 at hotmail thanks guys

you need to download the Android and to extract to your SD Card root folder.that's it

There's a little bit more to it than that.
Have a read here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881958

man what the **** is the root folder i tred to extract my androryd froyo supeream but it dint work !!!

When you open your SD card in explorer in Windows, it's there - just don't go into a sub-folder on your SD card.

what ROM you have or RADIO?maybe you need to upgrade your RADIO read that
(Root is just in SD Card not to make any folders and put it in)

First you need to check that you have the a compatible radio version (2.08.50 or above, I use 2.12.50.02_2, and that works perfectly). If you have not got a compatible radio, you need to flash the phone with HARDSPL3, and then flash the phone with a compatible radio.
Both HARDSPL3 and radios (such as 2.12.50.02_2) can be googled easily.
Once you have downloaded the files to your computer. Run HARDSPL3 and then the radio install files from your computer. Follow the instructions that each piece of these phone flash files tell you. It is fairly easy to do & fairly similar to jailbreaking an iPod Touch or iPhone.
Once you have done this. find yourself an Android build. If you're wanting to boot Android from your SD card, avoid NAND roms. If you are wanting to install Android onto the phones main memory (removing windows mobile), go for an NAND rom.
For installing to SD card (non-NAND): extract the Android build on your computer & then copy the folder 'android' to the main directory on your SD card (looking in File Explorer you would copy this to: "My Device/Storage Card", and no where else.
What you then want to do is open File Explorer on your phone (obviously after you have removed your phone from the computer). navigate to your SD card, go into the Android folder and press the CLRCAD.exe file. Nothing will visually happen, but that's ok. This is just getting the audio ready for Android.
Now click on haret.exe. you will then see a window saying 'booting linux kernel' and a load bar. Now let the phone do what it's gotta do for about 10 minutes. The first boot takes a while. After that you should have android running.
As for NAND installation (install in main memory, removing windows mobile): I have never done this so you are best googling this to make sure you do it correctly.
*I MUST WARN YOU THAT INSTALLING HARDSPL3 AND CUSTOM RADIOS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY. DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK* although saying so it won't do any harm to the phone. happy androiding

put the Desire_DL folder at the root of your sd card. The data.img goes in the Desire_DL folder. Check to make sure that you have your config.txt (it's inside the Desire_DL folder) set right. Boot mode should = 1 and data_img should also = 1
clrcad, haret, viola
Also you might as well grab the update to ver3.5 while you're at it, just put the Update_DL and Desire_DL folders that come in the ''upgrade.DL.DesireHD.v1.1.7z'' also at the root of your storage card, next to the original Desire_DL folder,not inside it. Then you'll be on version 3.5

btw, i am using the newest rom and my spl is 3.03.
do i have to downgrade it? and where do u suppose to put config.txt?in the root of sd card or inside the desire folder?
my software info is
rom 3.14.707.3
manila version; 2.5.20181527.0
os version is 5.2.21913

No, your Windows Mobile ROM is okay, as long as your radio is X.XX.50.XX and not a X.XX.51.XX.
config.txt is inside the DesireHD folder (or whatever the folder's named depending on what build) . Edit it as needed and leave it there

it still cannot work. sry for my dumbness
btw,i didnt install maglndr i just install android loader.
ps; i am so dumb with technology

any1 to help me? desperate for android
is it possible that my sd card is spoilt?it still can be used though

really wan that build coz got htc sense
can intro me any build using the sense or similar to it?

still cannot...... any idea?

Hi there - I tried to install this too, but ran into a great deal of trouble, up to and including a problem in running ANY OTHER builds. I deleted the existing Desire DL folder off of my SD and the update folder and anything else in the root directory that I thought might have been connected to that build. THEN, I tried Dandiest's v2.0 Desire build. Once I put a 1 GB data image in the Desire DL folder and renamed the config.txt.sd to just config.txt, it went pretty successfully. I've been able to really do a lot and it's restarted successfully. You need to be patient when it first installs - it's a teensy bit slow when restarting, but I'll take stable and fast once booted over the other options. I also recommend a boot loader - I am using Exceller. When you do that, you can easily choose which Android version to load, in case you want more than one. GL!

[Q] andDroid SD freezing

This isnt my first time loading a build via SD, I formatted my SDcard before putting the new build on it but it wont load. Ive tried two different builds. My radio is up to date and I extracted all the files to the root of the SD, its the only file on the SD. But it just sticks at the boot image (HTC) Ive left it for 2 hours. I even went as far as reverting the phone to factory settings. One thing Ive noticed is that the rootfs file is still zipped when i try to unzip it i get this error msg saying winzip only supports ISO image files
What can I do to get around this. It sucks because I even tried to put back the first build I had on it and even now that wont load.

If you can, Hard reset WinMo. This will delete all your data so don't do this without backing up your data, that is if you even use Windows

im not using a ROM im not flashing anything I tried using mccm hd v1 and americanandroid and i extracted the files straight to the sd card. Plus the sd card was formatted so there was no other files on there.
I tried to unrar rootfs because it was still zipped I thought EVERYTHING was suppose to be unzipped

ok so now i tried copying individual files to the root. so as soon as you access my sd card u see haret and all that. now when I try to boot it up the android htc logo comes up, but then the phone just restarts to windows

MCCM HD v1? Do you mean v6? Also, copy the Android FOLDER to the root of the SD card. Not individual fles.
