i'am right now using dutty's rom(wm) and cyanogen mod7 android on my sd card.but i want to go for the nand android roms.i've read the instructions thread.i had been very usefull,but i have a small confusion whether if magldr formats my phone memory,so that i can have a clean install of nand rom?
because for flashing wm roms we use task29 to clean the phone memory and install the new rom.but i haven't read anything abt formating the phone memory in the instructions thread for nand android for newbies.
You can still use Task29 to format the NAND memory. It'll wipe MAGLDR but that's as easy as flashing it again from the RUU. So basically, MAGLDR will wipe over your WM ROM. I'm not too sure about if it formats the NAND area but I'd presume it would as it would want a clean install.
But flashing a ROM from MAGLDR/CWM won't simply format the NAND. You have to use Task29 as usual. Then installing MAGLDR and CWM takes like 5 mins. It's not needed too often on MAGLDR but it's recommended for a clean install but most definetly not needed every new ROM flash.
so better to go with the following order for a clean install,
1)task 29
2)magldr
3)flash rom
do i have to flash a radio after flashing the android rom as well,like we do it for window's roms?

That's a personal choice depending on your coverage. Just be sure the version flashed is compatible with your HD2

You don't have to, as long as you already have a XX.X.50 radio, but if you are getting poor coverage/signal or poor battery life then you can, then give it awhile and see if it improves.
But a .50 radio is all that's really required for running Android, if you have that, you dont absolutely have to flash a radio

No you don't have to. But it's recommended to have the 2.15.50.XX radio. Just because it's the newest and that's what most people use.
And yeah you can do that now and again. I wouldn't bother do that before every ROM I flash, but every week or so just to keep it 'fresh'.

I understand that task29 clean up the internal phone memory to install new roms with windows mobile, but what i dont understand is that some roms for android needs task 29, instead we have the full wipe by cwm.
I've read it too, and don't understand it either. I've flashed several NAND builds without ever using task29. Whether you use DAF or CRM, NAND is getting wiped which is probably the same as running Task29. Task29 was performed so quickly, especially with Flashaholic RUU, that it simply can't be a full format.
So, unless somebody proves me otherwise, I don't see any reason for performing a Task29.

Hi all,
After using Android via SD for months, I feel the time has come to make it my full-time OS.
I've chosen this ROM as my first to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528 - Looks like a decent, stable Desire HD (Sense) port.
I've read all the usual n00b threads but due to paranoia and anxiety want to just confirm I'm about to do everything right before the big flash...
This rom uses ext3 data (like a fake 1gb internal memory) so I've partitioned my SD card as per instructions in the thread.
My main concern is flashing MAGLDR, i.e. "you need to flash MAGDLR 1.13 and the 400mb Recovery"
From what I gather, I download "-Download v1.3 400MB-" from this thread and run the update utility via USB like flashing any (WM) ROM. Is it best to Task29 before this and do it from the bootloader? Do I need to flash anything else before-hand? What's the difference between the magldr 1.13 and magldr 1.13 with 400mb recovery that I'm told to use in the ROM thread? Do I need to flash one before the other?
After this is on my phone it looks simple enough to flash the rom via the SD card inside MAGLDR's options and finish the job.
I've got the correct radio, etc. So all I'm really asking for is confirmation on how to get MAGLDR on my phone.
Sorry for the seemingly stupid question(s) but I have indeed read through the threads but just want to be sure!
Thanks!
The 400MB recovery is not MAGLDR - it's Clockworkmod recovery with a specific 400MB flash layout.
Task 29 is optional, but recommended. Then boot to bootloader, flash your radio of choice, flash MAGLDR, flash Clockworkmod, and finally flash your chosen NAND build from within Clockworkmod, which is accessed from the MAGLDR menu. There's not too much that can go wrong if you read all the tutorials, and everything in the OP for your chosen build.
Best of luck!

shouldnt matter, you are about to partition it anyway.

radio, if its below v 2.10.50 or so, and 2.08.hspl of course.

theyre the same thing, , , magldr will work with any recovery size, and depending on the rom size you choose, depends how big you want the partition to be. You have a big rom, so use 400, i have a light rom, so i use the 150. the magldr is the same, the only difference is two numbers in a text file that set the size of the partition during flashing.
After this is on my phone it looks simple enough to flash the rom via the SD card inside MAGLDR's options and finish the job.

Yeah. Basically run Task29 (format the NAND) if you want to. Then after that run the RomUpdateUtility to flash MAGLDR 1.13 via HSPL then once you're inside of MAGLDR (hold power button while powering on) and flash the 400mb Clockwork Recovery image via the .daf file found in your Clockwork download folder from USB Flasher in MAGLDR. That'll flash CWR, then reboot to MAGLDR again and chose 'AD Recovery'. Then you're in Clockwork and free to do whatever you want.
Much thanks guys - this'll be tomorrow's lunchtime project! Trust XDA to fill me with confidence

Dear ALL,I'd like to know which way to install the cm7 rom better.I use magldr to install ,but follow this way there is only same rom can work.Now I use cm7 3.4.0,if I install 3.5.7,the device restart all the time,can't go into the system.TKS
Hi are you trying to run the stock cm7 on HD2? I don't think the cyanogen team has ported cm7 for the HD2 yet... But fortunately a lot of xda guys here have customized cm7 for the HD2. Check out the NAND forums and pick a ROM. Besides cm7 there are also HTC sense/MIUI ROMs available, and many of them are working through Magdlr (as many ppl on these forums can assure you...). Just choose a ROM and follow instructions on that page.
any suggest

I am following this instruction"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951",But I can't install 3.5.7,whenever I install 3.5.7 rom,the devise retarte again and again.I don't know Why.Can you give me a hand?TKS
Haha I'm using that ROM too. Alright I'm not sure what you did to get Magldr running on your phone, but I suggest you do a total reset... Ok here's how:
1. Flash 2.08.HSPL, get the file follow instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433. Just download HSPL 4 (the latest one) and flash to 2.08.HSPL
2. Flash your radio to 2.15.xxx, if your radio is not already 2.15.xxx. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
3. Now download the HD2 NAND toolkit. Technically you don't need this, but it makes things a lot easier. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
4. Open the toolkit. Do a wipe (Task 29)
5. Click Install MAGDLR and follow instructions
6. Select MAGLDR Repartition. Use 150mb + 5mb cache. The size of the partition depends on which ROM you're using, but for this particular ROM use the settings I just mentioned.
7. (hmm actually I've nvr really tried this myself because I'm using cLK, so I'm not sure if Clockworkmod recovery is already installed at this point. Just turn on your phone and hold the power button to get into the MAGDLR menu, then select AD recovery. If CMR loads then pls skip this step) Select MAGLDR update recovery and update CMR
8. Alright now you can put the ROM file (a .zip file) into the SD card and use the install zip from sdcard option to flash, then everything should be fine
Hopes this helps
So, Im using a sense 3.5 ROM and out of the box it and issues with charging. I started flashing different kernels to see if that would fix my problem. Now no matter what ROM im using, my phone will not charge. The red light comes one the phone indicting that my phones plugged up, but i get no charge. Can someone tell me if there's a zip file out there that can wipe all data installed by kernels?
Im running out of oppositions here............. PLEASE HELP!!!!! Thanks
Magldr, right?
Just reflash with stock winmo (leoimg.nbh to sdcard and bootloader), hspl, radio, and just use clk instead of magldr.
In my opinion this (reflash all) is the fastest way to fix your HD2.
You have to do a full wipe before installing the new ROM. It is probably a hardware issue in your side because there are no 3.5 ROM's on this forum that have issues with charging.
thank u

I am using mag. I've never used clk. I always do a fresh install when I flash a Rom. Task29, etc. I will do what u said and see if that works. Thanks for your help. My signature is the Rom I'm using.

sorry to tell you but there are many people haveing chargeing issues
with 3.5 roms
Flash wm6.5 stock image, flash magldr, flash recovery/system partitions, flash rom
(no task29)
then should solve problem.
Task 29 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19, then flash your radio followed by magldr or clk then CWM.
You can try clearing Dalvik cache and flash a new kernel in CWM recovery menu.

After doing a task 29, format your sd card to FAT 32. (make sure you are using radio 2.15)
Then flash a bootloader, and then cwm.

No problem
In post 1 you say you are on wp7, therefore the radio must already be ok.
task 29 is mostly pointless unless you are having issues, and if you don't bother with it you won't need to reflash magldr either. You should simply be able to enter magldr, install a cwm layout and flash android.
the only sticking point is removing the custom formatted partition on the SD card, , there are a number of "how to " threads for that.
