[Q] OMG....Someone please help......

Morning....I have HTC HD2, Flashed with current 1.11 MAGDLR and Radio 2.15. I have Flashed NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9a_NAND and would like to update to current NexusHD2 build. However, when the bootloader is entered into, and Flasher is selected, phone will see USB, but when hooked to PC and DAF is selected to Run in Admin, I get a Error mess, that the computer is not seeing the USB and connecting.
Now seeing that I am VERY new at this.....I don't understand too much about Task 29 or things like that I have read about as far as a fix for the Error. But I cannot seem to find anyone that can tell me how to either fix the issue, or a solution around the problem so that I can either load another ROM or load the update.
I guess I should also add that my phone is running Android from the root side of the phone and not a dual boot with Windows still intact. I think that was important to add somewhere I read.
THanks for any help anyone can give me......

I had the same problem, when you open the file and it should be daf.exe file or install.exe file, you have to extract that file the a new folder on your computer and then open it from within the folder with right click and use as administrator!!!! worked for me..let me know...

This doesn't belong in the NAND development forum!

Not able to make a usb connection to the phone when in Magldr
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (723)
Go to the Activesync icon in the bottom right corner, right click on it and untick the option "Allow usb connections" and then connect the device again. Run daf.exe (or install.exe) as administrator by right clicking on it and selecting the option (if using Windows7 or Vista). Hopefully the usb drivers will then install and the Android Rom will flash.
Another option could be to uninstall and reinstall Activesync or to try different usb ports on your pc. If that doesnt work and you have Windows XP then you need to try on a machine with Vista or Windows 7.
If none of this works then try taking out your micro SD Card and repeating the process or flash a Custom Rom before you flash Magldr rather than a Stock Rom.
Lastly you could try starting the NAND installer with the phone unplugged and then plugged the phone in. The installer should immediately detect your device and proceed to flash.

problems flashing radio/MAGLDR113

i am changing over to nand android and i'm have some problems. when i try to flash a new radio or MAGLDR113. i get an error saying that the flash utility can't open the file. i then decided to start from scratch as i thought some got screwed up along the way. i flashed the original wm 6.5 rom and it worked. then i flashed hspl 2.08 and it worked. but now i seem to be the same place i started. a new radio won't flash and MAGLDR113 won't either. i get those same file read/open errors in the flash utility. anybody got any ideas on a fix? i didn't have time to really do a search on this topic, i have 2 kids running around wanting this and that, fighting and crying. any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance

Ok first question, with MAGLDR are you right clicking and running as administrator, same goes for radio? Next question have you got the latest version of ActiveSync or WMDC installed on your computer so you havecthe most uptodate drives? Third are you outing hour HD2 into bootloadercby holding down the volume down button whilecpowering on your HD2 and then connecting itcyo your computer and waiting forcthe Serial I'm thecwhite bar of bootloader to change to USB then flashing the radio or MAGLDR as administrator?

yes running as admin.
yes latest activesync.
if i try to go through the bootloader and plug in the usb it does change on the screen but it won't connect to the computer.
i get a 238 file read error after running update utility for MAGLDR113 in admin.
i grt a 240 file open error for the new radio

When you use bootloader and connect it to your computer it should say HTC USB sync in the safe to remove device or in your device manager in the control panel that means it is connected to your computer and you can flash the ROM, radio, splash screen, HSPL, MAGLDR, etc. This is a big miss conseption by most people that you have to use ActiveSync to flash whatever you are trying to flash via RUU.

Also, bit of a silly one, but wouldn't be the first,,, when you get the file open errors, you aren't trying to run from within the zip are you? Customruu and the .nbh should be extracted to a folder on their own. There have been cases where people open the zip and try to run ruu without extracting them first.

yea its showing up but niether method is working. activesync or the bootloader. same error messaes. also if i try to flash a rom i get this error message:
Error happen
Read below for more information

Ok it sort of souds like you have a bad USB cable and it can no longer do data transfer.
Find the magldr.nbh file in MAGLDR and make a copy of it on your desktop and rename it leoimg.nbh then copy it to the root of your SD card. You may have to use scare reader to do this if you unless you have another USB cable handy then you will not need to do this. Once you have the file on your SD card andcthe SD card back in your HD2 hold the volume down button down while powering on the HD2. This will bring up bootloader bit keep the volume down button pressed until you see searching then let it go. It will ask if you want to flash the image press the end button to confirm and it will flash MAGLDR. You can flash your radio thecsame way but you will have to look for the RUU_signed.nbh file for it but still you will have to copy it and rename it to leoimg.nbh. only put one of these at a time on hour card and flash it. Be director delete the file after you flash the radio or MAGLDR before you copy the next file and flash it, you only want one leoimg.nbh file at a time on your SD card.
You will have t have a working USB cable though to flash either a DAF Android ROM via option #4 of MAGLDR USB Flasher or to flash CWM through option #4 of MAGLDR.

yup got it working now. the sd method worked and i went next door to try a cable from my neighbor and finished the job. i tried the "defective" cable with my other phone and it worked. and files can be transferred to the sd on this phone through that cable but for whatever reason it wouldn't flash a radio or magldr. so i would not have thought of it being bad. strange...
anyway thanks for the help. i wouldn't have thought to flash the radio and magldr through the sd and i would've been up all night pulling my hair out.

[Q] Cannot install any type of files with DAF.exe

Ok well I have been trying to do this for quite some time and never found a solution, I had android 2.3.3 installed on my previous phone and eventually had to use CLK files to upgrade my HD2. That one unfortunately messed up and I received a replacement, and cannot even install an HSPL 2,3, or 4 to unlock the phone because the software does not even boot. I've tried using Ksubedis tool and same thing I will post a picture please someone help its frustrating using WM 6.5.

Right click and "run as administrator " and use USB slot in back of PC case,not front.

Using a Windows 7 HP Laptop 64-Bit only two USB ports(both USB 2.0) they are on the left side, but as you see on the picture nothing comes up not even an error. So idk what is going on.

There's a fair number of threads where 64bit windows doesn't work.any chance you have another machine available?
Also firewall off,anti virus off,and redownload the .exe

Are you running as admin. Is it your laptop do you have admin privileges?

That makes no difference, still should manually run as admin. Not that that's the problem in this case, just adding info.

The Rom I have Listed in this Tutorial is said to be the BEST PERFORMANCE ROM. And its SYSTEM PARTITION SIZE IS 400M. And CACHE SIZE 5M. Use it if you like or find your own Rom of Preference and flash that specific Roms Size Partition or it will not boot.
Do You have HSPL 2.08 on this?
1.If Not Use Ksubedi's Toolkit and Go into BootLoader VIA Volume Down and Power Button Simultaneously. and Connect Phone to PC wait for "USB" at Top Center of White Strip.
2. Click HSPL 2.08 in Toolkit, while in BootLoader. Let it Finish.
3. Enter BootLoader one more Time. This time click Install MAGLDR in Toolkit. With Partition Size of which rom you want to flash highlighted. and Correct Cache Size, Partition and Cache Size can be determined by the OP of the Rom you want to Flash.
4. Once Flashed, Hold POWER DOWN. Until you see 12 Options.
5. Go to Option "5. USB Flasher." wait for "Wait USB...USB" (Note Phone Needs to be Connect to PC During whole Process).
6. Use Daf.exe from this File: http://hotfile.com/list/1335611/19f8a51
and Download File HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.6_TMOUS_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024.rar.
7. Once Download and you are in Option 5. Run the DAF.exe in the above file and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. Idk why but now devs don't want to include the Daf.exe with their latest builds.
8. Once Daf.exe is finished. Boot into MAGLDR again and go to Option "8. AD Recovery." This time.
9. Partition SDCard, if you haven't done so already, in Advanced Menu with size 1024M and Swap size 0M.
10. Then "Mount USB Storage" Then "Mount USB" and Copy Zip to SDCard.
11. Flash and Reboot.

Yes i understand the process this is my third phone flashing, actually ive flashed numerous phones and never encountered this error. as you see in the picture, after clicking DAF.exe the screen pops up but nothing happens it doesnt even let me know if i encountered an error. which i am assuming its the windows 7 64 bit, and i can't even flash an HSPL with this...and ive tried using ksubedis tool and same conclusion

ok well i discovered that when trying to flash the HSPL4 and click on the DAF.exe the font is invisible but it gives me an option to flash it or cancel you cant see it but when you move the cursor to the bottom right hand corner you see two hollow boxes, the one on the right is to cancel installation as you see if you click on it, and when you move the cursor a little over to the left is to install the HSPL and the next window gives you the option to install which ever HSPL you need. Then I used ksubedis tool to install MAGLDR which i could, then i installed it, but when i attempted to partition i could not flash it. so i just went back to clk, so now i can flash clk only though. dont know whats going anymore.

Its not the problem with the OS. Because I have the same OS, Windows 7 64bit. Well I suggest trying it on another PC or Laptop, whichever is your preference. And another thing I can say is to right click the DAF.executive and then properties and change the compatibility mode to Windows 98? Or Windows XP?
And BTW have you tried running the DAF that is in the file I told you to download earlier? Cuz maybe the Daf.exe you're running now is corrupted?

I have not tried it with the file you provided, but after I install it where do i insert it, and I have downloaded various forms of different ROMS, and tools that use DAF.exe and always the same result. also ive tried changing the compatibility of the tools by right clicking and clicking on troubleshoot compatibility and changing it vista and other older forms of windows and no luck

ok i also discovered when trying to repartition with Ksubedis tool for a ROM and the same happened when trying to install the HSPL, invisible font but this time you dont see the hollow boxes, but there are two boxes on the bottom right as you would when flashing an HSPL. Finally i can use MAGLDR once again even though CLK was easier.

[q] typical error, i know, but my useless weekend brain can't connect the dots

To save time, the question is TRYING TO FLASH A ICS BETA10 NAND TO AN HD2 LEO ... WHAT DO I DO NEXT?... if you're interested read on!
Well first a death row pardon request to the experienced readers who will probably think "man this is all around why don't you do a search"
I've read lots of posts and either there are many misinterpretations for questions asked or my myelin is severely endangered.
CURRENT STEP BY STEP PROGRESS:
1) Downloaded files (MAGLDR 1.13 / HARDSPL4 / RADIO 2.xx.50.xx / ICS BETA10)
2) Installed HARDSPL 2.08.HSPL
3) Installed radio 2.xx.50 (The one recommended in XDA post)
4) Successfully flashed MAGLDR 1.13 (downloaded from 3 different sources and tried them in order to be sure the file wasn't corrupt)
5) Successfully linked USB from MAGLDR (i see the ***Wait USB...USB*** line)
Now when i run the DAF.exe in the MAGLDR 1.13 folder and click NEXT it shows:
****Readme.txt for this release is missing.****
... and when I click next:
****An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: Config load failed.
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (725)
Error Description: CONFIG: can't open config file
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (304)****
QUESTION: WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
NOTES THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL FOR THE WISE:
a) I tried from 2 different computers (32 and 64 bits JIC)
b) When I turn the phone on, before the phone boots into MAGLDR i get a red BOOT FROM SD KERNEL FALIED... maybe it's normal as there is no SD but maybe it need to be pointed it out.
thanks for your help!

pull batt out.Hold back and power button.You will see magldr screen,keep buttons pressed.then youll see numbers on yours screen.relese buttons,with vol down button go to number 5(usb flaser),press call button and then flash recovery(you will find this in hd2 tools(down left repartition button) and choose recovery size what is described in rom thread.
---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------
For install ics beta 1o you need 200Mb partiotion.best is to made it with hd2 tools,chose 200 and down under input 10Mb and press repatition

I've said exactly what ^He has said, except in details.

You don't have the config.cfg file that holds the partitioning information.
Anyway, forget it. There is a better (and easier) way to install the recovery.
You know, there is this little tool .. that was created by this intelligent dev.. where you can select the size .. the size of the system partition you want .. oh oh and also, also the cache partition .. without the hassle of modifying the config.cfg . And guess what? the tool is right here. [Thank you, Ksubedi]
Simply, go to USB flasher on MAGLDR and start it. On your PC, install that tool. And from the panel at the top choose MAGLDR Update Recovery & click "update" on the panel at the bottom. After it finishes, go to USB flasher again and start it. Now on your pc, select "MAGLDR Repartition" and from left panel choose "200mb" and right below it type "10mb" . (These numbers vary depending on the rom you are to install). And finally hit "Repartition" from the panel at the bottom.
After that, simply go to MAGLDR and select option #8 "8. AD Recovery" and flash your rom from there .
I hope I haven't missed anything, and have a nice day.

You have installed magldr allready?
If so, you don't do again daf.exe in magldr, because magldr is allready installed.
You have to download recovery, and edit flash.cfg file (with notepad) as you need for your rom.
Afterwards start daf.exe from recovery folder..
to point b, this is normal, because you don't have installed any ROM..
And have fun

BRILLIANT Marvlesz!!!
Thank you, i will then add a "simplified step by step" so that the big picture is clear. So to make it more explicit for people having the same problem:
Situation at the time of the post:
1) Downloaded files (MAGLDR 1.13 / HARDSPL4 / RADIO 2.xx.50.xx / ICS BETA10)
2) Installed HARDSPL 2.08.HSPL
3) Installed radio 2.xx.50 (The one recommended in XDA post)
4) Successfully flashed MAGLDR 1.13 (downloaded from 3 different sources and tried them in order to be sure the file wasn't corrupt)
5) Successfully linked USB from MAGLDR (i see the ***Wait USB...USB*** line)
After problem:
6) Downloaded HD2 Toolkit
7) While on USB FLASHER mode (option 5 on MAGLDR) and within HD2 Toolkit on PC:
a.Click on "MAGLDR UPDATE RECOVERY" > click UPDATE > a cmd will prompt > press enter > should say "Daemon started successfully"
b.Click on "MAGLDR REPARTITION" > set 200MB on PARTITION > set CACHE SIZE to 10MB (careful, may vary depending on the rom you are using) > click REPARTITION > should be some action on the phone
8) Copy downloaded ROM to sd card (the .zip file as it is) and reboot the phone
9) On the MAGLDR select 8.AD RECOVERY > INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD
10) Select the ROM you just copied onto the SD card > Once installation is done (it will show on the screen) navigate back on the MAGLDR menu and choose REBOOT SYSTEM NOW
Give it 2 or 3 minutes to start and you're DONE!

@OP, Actually please don't follow that guide. Just reading a few lines shows that:
1. It says to Task29 (never a necessary step)
2. It then says 'install HSPL'. Either HSPL 2.08 is already installed (so this step isn't needed) or you've just messed up your phone by trying to flash Task29 without HSPL
3. It says to repartition with a 200MB system and 45MB cache - you actually repartition as per the ROMs requirements, and 45MB cache is just a waste of space (most ROMs recommend 5, people have flashed as low as 2MB without issue)
4. It says to transfer the ROM to your SD card via CWM, which can cause the .zips to be corrupted. Always transfer via an SD card reader if possible, or within an OS (not MAGLDR or CWM).
5. It says that you have to set the boot settings to AD NAND when you don't
Whilst it's great that you're trying to help people out and write your own guides, don't do so when you're ill-informed and don't really know what you're doing. It's best just to stick with already existing guides.
@OP, try the guide in my sig if you're looking for one which is easy to follow, has clearly outlined steps and is (most importantly) correct.
