clk vs magldr - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

What is the difference. Is it just ppp. Seems like magldr I'd the easiest way to install android or update anything that I've ever tried, never really had any problems with it at all. Just looking for some feedback

Haven't tried clk, but there is another thread re this same Q, might be of help?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010125

cLK has few extra options. Charge while phone is powered off. Reboot to recovery. Faster boot time. Rom manager works.

But if you're happy with magldr, don't upgrade to clk.
It's not worth it

Thanks for the feedback guys, don't think ill be switching, just didn't wanna miss out on something better if it was, thanks again

Phone with MAGLDR on cannot be charged when the phone is off? What happen if I accidentally used up every drop of the battery and the battery does not have enough juice to power up the phone? Perhaps cLK is a safer route?

Yup that's the flaw of magldr. But I haven't read in anyone who has actually had to replace their battery because of such so you should be fine.
My hd2 ran out of battery last week so I just plugged it into the charger and after one failed attempt to boot up, it booted all the way.

Ok this is my run down or two cents.
MAGLDR is way more user friendly as far as flashing CWM. It has several useful options, but a lot of those options are not needed if you have CWM. MAGLDR can boot Android and Windows Phone 7, but is not as elegantly as a native device of the corresponding OS. Size wise MAGLDR is bigger than cLK. MAGLDR uses RMNET for it's data connection. No charging while the device is off. (I theories the no off charging has some kind of correlation to the digitizer going out so often)
CLK is not as user friendly to flash CWM, as it is not just a click, click, click, click, click and flash. CLK makes your HD2 truly feel like NATIVE Android device. You can only boot Android from NAND with cLK. MAGLDR is a bigger size bootloader then cLK and uses PPP for a data connection. You can charge your HD2 while nit is off
I have used both MAGLDR and cLK, currently cLK. I think both are just amazing pieces of work. But in my honest opinion cLK is the better bootloader for someone that just wants to run NAND Android on their HD2. I just like the way cLK works better than MAGLDR. I will have to flash MAGLDR again coming soon as I want to try out the freshly released WP7 ROM with NoDo. ( yes I said with NoDo )

I love everything about CLK except the fact that it uses PPP. With Cedesmith's b4 wrapper, it's bearable, but I still get about 10 data drops per day minimum (just tried today). The problem doesn't seem to occur too much in strong reception areas. For now, I'm back to MAGLDR. Love CLK, but I will take a significantly more stable data connection.
This is my experience only. Several people do not get data drops at all with the b4 wrapper.

Where, where, where????
Is this the rom you are talking about??

cLK
cLK has more benefits than MAGLDR and feels a lot more native than MAGLDR.
So pro cLK.
About the new WP7 builds:
The camera in flash mode is again green tinted and you need an activation code for the live service or sideload apps. Just wait for Mango update later of the year than I give WP7 a try.

This describes it best.

I will revive this thread:
I am really not interested in using Win7 and would like to try out CLK. I would like to ask 2 questions:
1) Pros and cons of using RMNET and PPP. I live in Bulgaria, Europe, if this matters in any way. I am very concerned about data drops.
2) Is there a way to swap MAGLDR with CLK in a easy way : via clockworkmod or something: I dont want to install Win 6.5 rom and all that to get it
Thank you

clk is for more advanced people imo.

Here you go.

What about installing it - Do I have to go all the way flashing official WM ROM and so on...

I've written a clk guide if you decide to switch. It may answer questions as well

Have to say that seems to be android issue in poor reception areas. I live in area that struggles to get any kind of data connection. I've had a few android devices now, all that all drop data connection regularly when in my local area or other poor reception spots.

Awesome question
Sent from my HTC One X with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app

I don't know why some peopls ask or say that you must flash wm6.5 if you wanna swap between MAGLDR/CLK
you can go between them at any time without losing any data or apps here is what i did
i was in MAGLDR 1.13
Full backup via recovery
flashed CLK via SD (copy CLK "LEOIMG.nbh" to sd root then reboot the device while holding vol down ) then press vol up to perfotm the flash
you're now in CLK, it's time to flash recovery image
download your favorit HD2 recovery.img file
download QtADB from here
go to recovery tab then brows the recovery.img and flash it ( it's easy i think )
now reboot your phone and you're in recovery
partition your NAND exactlly as it was in MAGLDR
flash your ROM (yes FLASH it not from the backup)
i repeat FLASH THE ROM FROM THE ZIP
now goto advanced backup option from recovery then restore the rest of the partitions one by one
FOR THE LAST TIME, DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM IMAGE FROM BACKUP
wipe dalvik and fix permissions then reboot
your done
i allready tested this methode and it workd fine i migrated from MAGLDR to Clk safely
check my signature to view my current phone config

About to flash my first NANDroid ROM - want to confirm a couple of things!

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!

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

in rom manager when you click on flash recovery do you get a list of phones to choose from? you should see "HTC HD2" on the list.
I take it yours worked as well... were you able to reboot into recovery?

Just downloaded the free version of ROM Manager and it would not reboot into recovery, I tried twice. I also tried flashing Clockwork Mod Recovery (even though I already have it flashed to my HD2) becausecevery thing besides reboot into recovery and flash Clockwork Mod Recovery give me a message saying I need Clockwork Mod Recovery before I can use it. But when I tried to flash Clockwork Mod recovery it did list the HTC HD2 in the list but it said it incountered an error while flashing Clockwork Mod Recovery, again I tried twice and same message both times. But I checked and I do still have Clockwork Mod Recovery on my HD2. Maybe you have to use cLK with ROM Manager cause in the information on the ROM Manager when you find it in the Android market says for this.
HTC Users: Flash recovery not working? Try fastbooting a recovery on.

You only use fastboot with cLK, if I still had a functioning laptop (LCD screen not working) Iwould test this. But this is not possible for me at the moment.

Thanks for the confirmation. I kinda figured that when I seen fastboot mentioned in the trouble shooting for the app on the market. I just did not want to just assume it worked with cLK or only worked with cLK without being able to test it first. I try hard not to give out false information in the forums. Thanks again though.

hi,
Do you know when it will start working with magldr?
I updated it and bought the premium version, because I was trying to update the boot loader.
I clicked on flash clockworkmod recovery and it updated to 3.0.2.5.
But when I tried to load a d recovery,I just got an error
So I presume it has installed clk?
Don't know how I'm going to get my ad recovery back.i guess I'll have to read up on that.
I did check online for some instructions on ROM manager, but no joy.

Installed rom manger and when i tried to flash cwm, HTC HD2 appeared on the devices list for the very first time (i tell you what, it felt great really great), this was the last thing needed to make HTC HD2 fully compatible with android os.
Updated cwm and did a nandroid backup from within rom manger, without a single problem, how cool is that?
This my dear friends was the icing on the cake (sort of speak) for this great piece of hardware and its long road into running android as well as any other native "made for android" hardware. This is it.
Thanks a lot to the devs and their testers who for making this all happen, thank you guys, you did make the impossible, possible, here is proof to that.
Thank you cedesmith for your "not so little" cLK.
Thank you pongster for your amazing roms.
p.s. Hyperdroid GBX is already available to download from rom manager, what do you say to that?

Well... as much i have figured out ROM Manager is not available for MAGLDR yet because of the /boot partition formating.
cLK is formating /boot partition with different file system of MAGLDR which allow ROM Manager to work on cLK.
Now if you would like to change from MAGLDR to cLK it is actually very easy and simple.
Here are the steps:
download cLK 1.4 from here
(cLK is managing the partitioning of the disk therefore you will see different filenames. I use the System:130M / Cache:5M for Ultimate Droid Rom)
The flashing of cLK is done same way as you flash WinMo (with CustomRUU). Just place in the same folder CustomRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh and run as administrator.
Ofcourse you have to be in bootloader mode (you know the screen with the 3 colors that shows the HSPL version)
After flashing cLK you need to have installed the adb drivers. On my expirience in Windows 7 are automaticly installed.
After that you have to download the necessary files for the fastboot commands to work from here
Extract the file to i.e. c:\android
Then you have to download ClockWorkMod Recovery for cLK from here. Download from attachements CWM for cLK.
Place the cwm *.img in the same folder as fastboot.
Now, in order to install the cwm to cLK you need to:
Run cmd
Navigate to c:\android (on cmd)
and
Code:
Type "fastboot erase recovery" (<- not really necessary; just to make sure), followed by enter
Type "fastboot flash recovery cLK_recovery_3.0.2.5.img", followed by enter
Type "fastboot reboot" for rebooting your phone
Once rebooted hold down the home button and you will enter CWM
The rest you know what to do.
I use UD Rom 3.2.5 v2 for cLK with a fix for PPP which is actually very stable from here. You can copy/paste this fix to /system/lib with the use of terminal (you must reboot after and must not clear cache)
If you don't care about the internet connection stability so much... cLK is a must for you.
PS: If you need more info about installing read the cLK and CWM thread

Hi,
Firstly ,thanks for the tut.
I'm not sure I'm ready for clk right now.My only gripe was that it wasn't overly clear that ROM manager was only for clk,not magldr.
If you,or anyone else on magldr, care to read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040564
you can see that I wasn't the only one with this problem.
Having said that,all's well that ends well.
I bought the program because it looked like a great app.
It probably is,but not for me just yet.
At zach.anger why did you say if internet connection stabilitycis notcan issue then cLK is a must. Does cLK cause problems with keeing a data connection?
Also educate me on what PPP is please? I have been reading all through the cLK thread and CWM thread and have not seen an answer.

PPP is 'Point to Point Protocal', it is the alternative to RMNET type of data connection. clk doesn't support RMNET, which some consider to have a steadier data connection (no data drops) at a bit of a cost in data speed. But really ppp has come a long way since we first started having Android on our HD2's. I use ppp on a ROM that was originally on RMNET, and I never experience data drops, but some folks still prefer RMNET, or even can't get a data connection at all ob PPP.
As far as clk being a must, if you have no data issues with ppp:
clk is more like having a native Android device, it enables you to use fastboot commands from adb, and since there's no MAGLDR menu in the way between the OS and recivery, you can use the Advanced Shutdown menu built into some ROMs to boot directly from Android into CWM. That's also why ROM Manager works with clk and not MAGLDR.

Thanks for the info.
I knew about RMNET not working with cLK, even though I do not know what it is yet lol, I have not googled it yet. Bit I had tried Googling PPP and came up empty using several search terms, well not empty but not the answer I was looking for.
I also knew about being able to enter the ADB fastboot commands using cLK. I have been doing a good bit of research on cLK as I am wanting to add it to my guide in my sig. I am still wondering one thing though. I accidently busted the LCD on my laptop so I can not test this myself. But can you use the fastboot commands to flash a Android ROM just like you usecthem to flash CWM. I mean it seems to me all you have to do is type in the below command into the command promt.
fastboot flash (name of the .img file for the ROM).img
Am I correct in thinking this?
Pretty sure it will work. But I dunno 100% for sure, as I'm still using magldr. clk looks so attractive, butmy current setup is so stable, and I'm a bit lazy to switch

As said before RMNET and PPP are 2 different connection protocols.
RMNET is stable and supported by MAGLDR and not by cLK
PPP is supported by cLK but not stable as RMNET.
Concerning the benefits of cLK it just makes your HD2 a native android device, with all the benefits of it... Thats all.
About the command you are right. You can use the commands to flash any partition table as following:
"fastboot flash [partition to flash] *.img"
for example you only want to flash a new boot.img (kernel & init.rd) you just need to type:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
you can also flash specific files from within an img but i don't remember the exact commands right now.

battery won't charge

I have this weird problem where my HD2 battery won't charge unless it's in Android. This is fine, but sometimes I forget to charge the phone and it runs out of juice, then it doesn't even have enough power to boot into Android. During times like this, I'm stuck since I can't charge it if it can't boot into Android. Can I fix this?
The issue you are having is a side effect of MAGLDR cause it does not support charging while your HD2 is off. Here is a qout from the first post in the MAGLDR thread.

No to solve this problem you will have to switch to cLK for your Android bootloader, cLK supports off charging. If you swich to cLK you will also have to install the cLK version of whatever ROM you are using and only restor your data from a back up you made via CWM before you flashed cLK.
Click on my guide linked in my sig to learn more about cLK and how to flash it and then CWM as it is a little more complicated then flashing CWM using MAGLDR.
Dang double posted again some how, sorry guys.
Thanks for the response! I read some of your thread, and it seems cLK is what I want. I juts want to make sure, are there any downslides to cLK other than only supporting NAND android?

The only thing that I have seen is that a couple of people have said say that they have a little more battery drain with it. But I use cLk and honestly I have not notice a drastic change in my battery life what so ever. I actually prefer it over MAGLDR for booting Android.
The best thing for you to do is look at my guide and read the break down on all the functions of MAGLDR and if you do not need any of those options or functions. Then there is no real reason to use it in my opinion.
Also read the break down I give on cLK

[Q] MAGDLR or CLK

been a while since i relaly played with my HD2(cLK wasnt even out when i did the NAND stuff), is there any point to swapping to cLK over MAGDLR ? lso, i have whatever ClockWork Manager that was released (2. something), is it a good idea to update it, or should it be fine how it is?
I'm not a tech noob/linux noob, so if cLK has good advantages, fast boot seems like a good one, could you guys point me to a guide to go from MAGDLR to cLK?
probably goign to try it with this rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166948 , or the Hyper Droid CM7 from Pongster.......
sorry fi this has been asked, a quick scan of the first page of threads didnt give me anything and its 2AM here
Clk:
-Fastboot
-Fully working rommanager(install roms, make/restore backups while in android)
-no go go go screen on boot
-charging while phone is off
-open soure
-there is still development on it...with very nice features: also sd boot as magldr, change partition size via bootmenu:

...clk uses ppp and magldr rmnet.
At the very beginning the data connection of clk was very very unstable...but with the ril wrappers developed by cedesmith I never got a drop since april.
most people including me use the beta 4 wrapper.

Just checked the Clock work install, its 3.0.0.5, any need to update to 4.0.0.* ?
so is it a good idea to swap to cLK ? Any good guide from going from MAGDLR to cLK?
Anyone else have an oppinion?

[Q] New partition

Hey XDA,
I wanted to know how to change the partition size of my HD2. I am running the hyperdroid rom and have a 150mb CWM partition. In order to run the ICS nexus rom i need a 165mb partition. So do I just flash a new one over the existing one or use task29 and start all over again?
I searched the forum but to no avail.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

You dont have to task29, just flash the new partition size. Use the HD2 toolkit for easy partitioning in Magldr. cLK 1.5 has partitioning on the go - you can partition the phone from the bootloader itself, and a computer is not needed.

I use the CWM DAF.exe. I can change the partition size from there by editing the flash file. So is it still the same. Just flash it as per normal?

Short Answer - Yes
Alternate Answer - DAF method is old and can potentially cause problems owing to the connectivity between computer and the phone (drivers, port, cables...). However, for Magldr repartitioning, that is the only way - even HD2 Toolkit uses it. Using cLK 1.5 (boot loader and partitioning) and ClockWorkMod (flashing ROMs) is the safer and better way, provided you do not have any data drop issues with cLK. I have been using cLK for a long while - ever since v1.3 came out and have never had a data drop problems in Gingerbread as well as ICS.

I don't think that first part is strictly true. Yes, DAF is an outdated method, but I've never had any issues with connectivity and I've flashed new partitions a decent number of times. I think that as long as the DAF.exe method worked for you the first time around, it tends to work every single time after that. I've probably jinxed it now though, haven't I?

Thanks man, I will stick with the dar.exe method for now. Will try the toolkit though.

just like the way how you flash the recovery, first use the app "notepad.exe" to edit the file "flash.cfg", change "system ya 260M" to "system ya xxxM" what size you needed, second flash the recovery again
