How To Install A NAND Android ROM On Your T-Mobile HD2
(I am linking to several Original Threads in this tutorial. The "Nice Thing To Do" is hit the "Thanks" button at the bottom of those threads to let the author know we appreciate their help)
mskip wrote an excellent tut over on the Leo forums. I used his instructions to create my own method, which has never given me issues.
My method has been used by others and has a 100% success rate as of this writing.
You MUST be HSPL'd. This is not a joke. If you attempt this method without HSPL, your phone won't boot. I can not help you if you do this. If you have the 3.14 radio, try flashing: this stock ROM before HSPL. Thanks to xmoo for the link! Original thread is here.
Read the following steps. If you're confused, read the explanations below.
(Preparing)
Folder: Create a new folder on your Desktop. I named mine Flash. Put all downloads here.
HSPL: Cotulla's HSPL 3 is located here. (Original thread is here)
Task29: Download the Task29.exe program located here. Unzip it to a new folder. Replace the RUU_Signed.nbh file with your favorite radio. I use 2.15.50.14 (Original thread is here)
MAGLDR: Get MAGLDR 1.11 (or the latest version!) located here. Unzip this to a new folder.
ROM: Visit HD2 NAND Android Development thread here on XDA and download your new ROM. I am currently using this one, but will probably have a different one tomorrow Unzip this to a new folder.
SD Card: Back up everything you want to keep from your SD card, and then format it. Hint: dcim is where your pictures are stored (File System: Fat32, Allocation unit size: 16 kilobytes) Personally, I like to uncheck the "Quick format"; it takes up to an hour but ensures my card is in the best shape possible. Once your format is complete, you may replace your backed up files.
(Flashing)
(*Optional: Remove your SD and SIM cards, if you are paranoid, like me )
Connect your phone via USB to the PC and wait for any drivers to install.
Task29: Navigate to the Task29 folder and right-click on task29.exe and "Run as administrator". Your phone will reboot to the initial flash screen. You will have to reset to Bootloader.
Wait for your PC to update the drivers again.
MAGLDR: Navigate to the MAGDLR folder and right-click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and "Run as administrator". Your phone will reboot to a new boot screen.
Wait for your PC to update the drivers again.
You should be booted to the new MAGLDR screen and see a series of options. Use your volume rocker to highlight "USB Flash" and press the green call button to select it.
Wait for your PC to update the drivers again.
ROM: Navigate to your new ROM folder and right-click DAF.exe and "Run as administrator".
Congratulations! When your phone reboots, it should start MAGLDR which will immediately boot your new Android NAND ROM!
Now, here are the details about the above instructions. You should only need them if you are confused.
(Preparing)
I use this to keep myself organized. I own several HTC phones and flash them all, so keeping things separate is a must for me.
Having a Hard Secondary Program Loader is a must for any NAND flash, whether it be Windows Mobile or Android. This will void your T-Mobile warranty, but can be fixed by flashing a Stock T-Mobile ROM via your microSD card. Check my sig for the tutorial link on how to do that.
This is the easiest method to do a task 29. The other is using mtty, which is beyond the scope of this tutorial. Task29 completely erases the existing files and partitions, preventing any loose data bits from causing issues with a new flash. You should always Task29 between NAND ROMs.
MAGLDR: A group of devs have been working on a NAND loader for some time and Cotulla and the Dark Forces Team (DAF) were the first to release a working loader. There may be more to come in the future, but this is the first (and has Tetris built in )
You should never ask the "best ROM for my phone" question. Every chef works hard on their build and considers it the best. Every user has their favorite chef and considers them the best. You should shop around to find the one that fits you best.
I consider formatting the SD card a must if I have any data written to it by a ROM. If you have installed Android to your card, you definitely want to do this!
(Flashing)
Your phone will boot into several different modes throughout the process. Each mode may require separate drives for WMDC to talk to it.
To reset to your bootloader, pull the battery and replace it. Hold down the "Volume Down" rocker and press the power (End Call) button. The phone should boot up to the tri-color screen. If it did not, keep trying!
Your PC may not need to search for drivers at this point, but wait and see anyway, just in case
MAGDLR will work as your new bootloader, but you can always access the original tri-color bootloader if you need to.
Don't worry if you get the missing "ADB" driver warning here. Only PCs with the Android SDK properly installed will have this driver.
You must flash your new ROM from the #4 screen via USB. It is the only way and the tri-color Bootloader method won't work here.
Again, you can ignore the missing "ADB" driver if it occurs. See above x2 for explanation.
Some chefs are renaming "DAF.exe" to "Install.exe" or "ANDR_INSTALL.exe". No matter what it's named, it should be the blue icon. See your ROM thread for detailed installation instructions if you get confused here.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the plethora of information. In this case, it wasn't needed but most of the time it is
Error 262 means there is a link error between your phone and the PC. Some have solved this by re-installing ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. Some people said it was solved by simply unplugging the phone and trying a different USB port or cable.
After installing android rom in nand, device continously reboots
I followed all your steps and installed everything (there war an error encountered while installing the rom in the last step) but when my phone boots into android, after about a minute it will just restart itself and continue the same over and over without ever fully going into android.
can you please tell me how to get over this?

It looks like the Android build you chose is either incompatible or was somehow corrupted when you downloaded it.
I suggest you delete the copy you have on your PC and download a different ROM, and then start over again.
Since there was an error, you don't want to try a fresh install without a task 29 and reinstalling hspl.
If you are using the Euro version of the HD2, don't try to install a TMOUS ROM, and vice versa. If you aren't sure, ask the chef who posted the ROM you want.
Hope this helps!
Radio Version

One thing that was specified but not in the steps was HSPL. If you don't have that, you can't flash.
After having a bit of problem using the original tut you reference in your first post(basically it got locked on gogogo and a variety of problems thereafter), I am very happy to report that your variation on the method not only worked for me, but worked on the first attempt. And it has thus far done so each time I have tried it since. You cannot imagine my relief after all the frustration I had previously. So just wanted to let you know how helpful I found your post. Thanks!
The only edit I would suggest is that I believe USB Flashing is option 5 now instead of 4.
FWIW I was originally on ROM 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE with Radio 2.10.50.26(now on 2.14.50.04).

I just tried a fresh download of MAGLDR 1.11 and the option is still #4. Did you perchance grab version 1.12?
It would still work, but 1.12 gives you the additional option of installing and Windows 7 Phone ROM.
Yes on MAGLDR the option is 5 instead of 4.
Other than that, and the part about removing your sim and SD card, looks like an excellent guide.

I am updating the tutorial to reflect on the changing menu numbers, thank you!
As far as the SIM and SD card removal, I did mention that this is optional but recommended. Yes, I realize that this is from the early days of flashing and is more than likely not needed, but in my defense this is my own method and I have never, ever had a bad flash. I've owned several HTC phones going back for a few years now and have not bricked a single one. I would consider that a pretty good track record, considering the number of posters who did brick their phone and have no idea what went wrong.
In light of your input, I will re-word the OT to ensure that the "optional" part is clarified.
Oh I totally hear ya.
I've never had a bad flash either. I think that some of the "Brickensteins" just do something wrong and don't mention it (like unplugging the phone mid-flash).
In your favor, I did read in one of the WP7 tutorials that the sd card should be removed, but since I don't plan on flashing that any time soon, I'll leave that wisdom with wiser hands
Thank you very much

Ok do this hold the volume button down while powering on your HD2 and see if the multicolor bootloader screen comes up. If so you are not fubared. If you get bootloader you can save your HD2. Click on my Guide linked in my sig and read it then click the links at the top of my guide if you want to install Android or the link for WP7 if you want to install it. The links I have at the top of my guide are links to very good and extensive guide. If you want come post back here and I or others will help you and if you want to just PM me.
Please Help me...

You are using MAGLDR 1.13, not 1.11. On 1.13 (not covered by this tutorial), you have to choose "ROMUpdateUtility.exe", not "DAF.exe".
had this not so great idea last night that I would flash my nand android ROM for my HTC HD2 on Tmobile UK, by formatting the SD card then reinstalling CWD and flashing the ROM...
Unfortunately my fone will not switch on, I can get it into bootloader but do not know what to do from here...
any ideas?
I think I need to reinstall magdlr 1.3, then clockwork mod then my nand android rom, can anyone confirm this is right?
please help
ta
whilst I can get into bootloader and it says USB , my PC will not let me access the SD card, nothing happens at all like when the Open folder pop up appears, well it doesnt....
what have I done??
Is the HSPL 3 already installed on the phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893
You need to take your sd card out of your phone and use a card reader. There is a problem with Magdlr usb so that would be the only way to copy things to and from the sd card.
I would do a task29, reinstall magldr, clockwork and then go into clockwork and install.
Hope this helps.
bodyman
I have HPSL 2.08 do I need HPSL 3.0??
Sure I have a card reader
But its erm, well formatted now to FAT32...
Whats task29??
How can I reinstall MAGDLR when the phone will only go into bootloader but my PC will not open the sd folder?
thanks

quick seaches found this:
Task29
and you need to be in the bootloader to install magldr -- you use RUU to install that. Then once into madldr, then you can install clockwork -- that uses DAF.
Also, you should upgrade to 3.0.
Hope this helps
Please go read some n00b guides, everything you asked about here is VERY cleary documented, There is absolutley no need at all for this type of topic.
Not trying to be an arse but its just really annoying seeing the forums flooded with these types of topics daily and its because people dont follow simple logic and look at stickies or guide topics prior to jumping in.
trouble is when I connect my phone via usb to PC in order to update to HARDSPL3 nothing happens...
Its like my phone just will not sync with my pc
Even if I get the phone to bootloader mode, where it first says serial, when I connect the fone it does say USB but nothing else happens...
Where are these guides? why are they so hidden...
I dont know if my fone is bricked...please help
If I where you, I would start from scatch.
Go to bootloader when it says USB flash stock WM6.5
Flash HSPL 2.08
Flash MAGLDR
and so and so...
Same problem here with my boys phone. Only thing is, I can't flash anything and wmdc won't recognize the hd2. I feel like an ars lol. Just go buy an android phone and leave winmo in the dust ;-P You might enjoy unloading on it with an ar15 though muahaha
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Try using different UBS port or UBS cord and make sure when in bootload your pc show a driver connecting with it or it won't work. And if your on window Vista or 7 try right clicking and run as admin
Also do not have your SD card in while doing this

heres an update:
I installed HARDSPL 3.0
The phone then restarted and is working however I now need to install TASK29
But from lets call it my nand ROM main screen one it has loaded, when I connect attach a USB cable the phone will not sync will windows mobile device centre so I unable to perform TASK29
How can I get around this?
Its great the phone is working again however all I am confident after I manage to run TASK29 it will be clean so that I can install another NAND rom on to it...
Just desperately need my pc OS windows 7 to now recognise my phone so TASK 29 will work, but how?
thanks guys for your help
the plot thickens....
I went into booloader and it still shows SPL2.08 when I downloaded and installed HARDSPL3??? This is the filename I downloaded and installed HSPL3_PKG
Also after removing SD card, the phone boots into MAGDLR v1.13 and then keeps looping into reboot...
On a different note, this time when I phone switched on with USB attached but without SD CARD, my pc OS windows 7 installed a driver and it sees it but now I cannot get into the main ROM screen to run TASK29....
Gonna put the SD Card back in and hope it gets me there that way..will report back in 2 mins..
thanks for your help
so i reinstalled magldr 1.13 and clockworkmod but now when I am in magldr and go to boot ad sd I get the following error message:
load zImage
k: zimage

it cannot find clockwork mod is that right?
where do i go from here?
thanks for your help
all fixed thanks for your input especially connecting to usb ports this one thing helped me resolve everything
there should be a sticky will all info easily accessible what to do when this happens..
thanks
p.s. if anyone can tell me why my bootloader still shows hardspl 2.08 when I upgraded to 3.0 i would be grateful
thanks guys

3.0 is just an update to 2.08 that works for the newer hd2's
also, task29 will format your NAND -- it is like the ultimate hard reset. I use it when I switch from different roms. That way there is no residuals left over from any previous roms that may or may not cause problems.
check here for any ?'s that you might have. All stickies have been rolled up into one thread.
Well i noticed that task29 doesn't wipe everyhing. I had issues with various rome for a while, I tried task29 many times with no success, the only thing that solved theme where flashing stock 6.5...
And don't go to spl3 or you won't be able to flash magldr, stay on 2.08

Is this a joke? i mean, the stickies are there, you only need to read them and follow the steps you have tutorials and howtos in task29 thread, then in the hardspl thread and in the hd2 sections (sd,nand).
anyway, i am glad, you worked it out
It is said that you have to hold the power button to load MAGLDR after resetting the phone, but when I reset the phone it automatically boots to MAGLDR, instead of WM 6.5. Can you guys tell me how to access WM 6.5 from MAGLDR?
I forgot to mention that I always get this message before it boots to MAGLDR after resetting.

Should I be concerned?
I haven't installed Android yet, but I'm in the process of installing Clockwork 1.3
I also tried to do a factory reset through MAGLDR, but it only goes back to the MAGLDR main screen. Help? Please?
First of all, use the "edit post" button to add text to the first post instead of making two new
Yesterday I got the exact same problem. Someone said that it is because the MAGLDR can't see the wrongly flashed ROM. However, I did not notice that it is something wrong with it.
What ROM do you have and which HSPL version ?
I had WinMo 1.46 stock and HSPL 2.08
my apologies.
stock? i'm using Radio 2.15 HSPL 2.08
did you correct your problem?
would it be safe to manually hard reset?
You can't boot Windows Mobile 6.5 if you have MAGLDR installed. But there is simply way back - just run RUU with stock 1.48 ROM on your PC, while having your HD2 connected to PC (phone has to be in bootloader, that rainbow screen).
I didn't correct my problem. I had to flash WinMo back from the SD card but the raven_raven's method is also possible.
So raven, why I can't boot into WinMo with MAGLDR? I've seen many people doing that by not keeping the power button pressed
From what I know, it's impossible to boot into WM6.5 if you have MAGLDR on your device. Its purpose is to load Linux kernel, not WM .
I'm kinda confused right now
If you flashed MAGLDR, why would you want to use WinMo? The main purpose of MAGLDR is to boot Android/WP7 on the NAND. It over-writes the WinMo you had on it before.
The error you're getting, you shouldn't be worried about it at all. All it is is that you haven't flashed a ROM yet. What do you mean you're in the process of flashing Clockwork? It's not hard... just flash the DFT file on your PC via the USB Flasher option and you'll have Clockwork. Then you install your .zip ROM, reboot and you won't get an error anymore as you'll have a ROM flashed.
Thanks for the help. It is greatly appreciated.
I can't access the USB Flasher. When I connect my phone to my PC, my SD card doesn't show up, instead, its recognized as an "unspecified" MAGLDR driver. I can't do anything with that.
But I can access my SD card through USB Mass Storage, but I don't want to install DFT on Mass Storage when I'm told to use USB Flasher. I don't want to do anything stupid

the usb flasher option is not to mount your sd card, it is just used to flash files/roms via daf.exe. use the usb flasher to install clockworkmod1.3, once that is done boot back into magldr and go to ad recovery, and recovery should start. from there you can mount as usb mass storage. i belive the one in magldr doesn't work very well, or at all for some, the one in clockwork always seems to work well for me.
guys its simple your not supposed to use MAGLDR if your going ot go back WM6.5.
tunr your phone off. hold the volume down button and press the power button, do not let go of the volume button, its going to bring you a tri colored screen. once your in that screen plug in your USB cable to the phone and to your computer. once that is doen flash a official WM6.5 rom let it do what it does,its going to restart and there you go back on WM6.5
there is no way you can boot Win 6.5 if you got MAGLDR, never seen it here
(unless someone shows a video or something)
the only way that can be achieved is to go into bootloader (tricolor screen)
and flash Win 6.5
I thought MAGLDR was for dualbooting. I wanted to go back to 6.5 in case I ran into any problems with the android builds Nontheless, I successfully installed Cyanogenmod, and it works perfectly. I dont think i'll be going back to 6.5.
Thanks for the help, it was greatly appreciated.
Hold volume down and power button when turning the phone on, it will get you into tree color screen...then plug your phone into pc .....on the of run rom installer for win 6.5 and after it is done you should be able to boot into win 6.5.

Hi guys!
I have the same problem.
my question is if I the official ROM is it going to erase/format the old one that I had?
The reason is that I did not backup everything and it would be nice if I could go back and get the rest of my contacts...
Is there any way of having a dual boot

Are you honestly incapable of reading? What kind of complete MORON flashes something to their phone without a full knowledge of exactly what it will do?! If you install WinMo again you will have lost all of your data that is on the internal storage of your phone, and to be honest you deserve it if you are stupid enough to flash something without reading about what it does.
On a more positive note, you can flash NAND Android instead of reflashing WinMo if you want, using this guide. Since you would go ahead and flash this without reading up about it, I should probably warn you that IT WILL DELETE WINMO FROM YOUR PHONE! Is that clear enough for you?

I've already look through the other threads of users with the same issue, but none seem to have exactly the answer I'm looking for.
I was running windows phone 7 on my htc hd2, which was easy enough to do.
but yesterday I decided I wanted to put android back onto it, so I downloaded
Energy_2.8.2012.SensationXL from here. Followed all the steps in the thread, but now everytime I turn on the phone I get the error "NAND yaffs2 boot mount failed" and then just clicks straight over to the boot menu
so, as stated in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971268 I tried to "task29" the phone through the HD2 Toolkit app, and start again.
But all I get when trying to: task 29, update to/ install magldr 1.13 or clockwork, it just gives me an error [264] connection.
I'm unable to get onto the tri-coloured usb flashing screen that I used when I put WP7 on it, i've tried putting it in 'usb flasher' mode from the menu to no avail..
is there somehow a way to put the new ROM I downloaded ^^^^ onto the phone by switching it over to mass storage mode,
and then selectiong option 3: boot AD NAND?
how about return to WM,then try task29 and MAG or CLK

I've always done the task29 and wiped it via HD2 Toolkit, but it's still stuck on the magldr boot menu
does the USB flasher option be the same at the bootloader (three-coloured screen) for flashing the new android rom?
If I simply loaded the android rom onto the SD card via an adapter, would that work if I went through the MAGLDR boot menu?
EG: 9: services, 1: boot settings, 1: boot source, 1: android from sd
..yes?
I'm at my wits end here guys!
I'm well aware of how to get into the three coloured bootloader screen, but the HD2 just wont do it!
I've done it numerous times before with this very handset from WM 6.5, then android (can't remember what version) , then WP7, and now it's decided to stop doing it when I want to go back to android, and the task29 has wiped it all, so I can't even simply revert back to WM6.5..
if someone could give me some step-by-step instructions on either a nand or SD android rom and the steps I need to take to get it working with that, bearing in mind the 'stuck on magldr' issue I have.
I can't remember if I stated it in my previous post but ever since I did the task 29, anything I try to do ie: update magldr to v1.13, update clockwork, or anything like that, it just give me an error saying it isn't connected via usb.

If I simply loaded the android rom onto the SD card via an adapter, would that work if I went through the MAGLDR boot menu?
EG: 9: services, 1: boot settings, 1: boot source, 1: android from sd
..yes?
I'm at my wits end here guys!
I'm well aware of how to get into the three coloured bootloader screen, but the HD2 just wont do it!
I've done it numerous times before with this very handset from WM 6.5, then android (can't remember what version) , then WP7, and now it's decided to stop doing it when I want to go back to android, and the task29 has wiped it all, so I can't even simply revert back to WM6.5..
if someone could give me some step-by-step instructions on either a nand or SD android rom and the steps I need to take to get it working with that, bearing in mind the 'stuck on magldr' issue I have.
I can't remember if I stated it in my previous post but ever since I did the task 29, anything I try to do ie: update magldr to v1.13, update clockwork, or anything like that, it just give me an error saying it isn't connected via usb.

Try flashing it back to window 6.5.... nbh.img?

Yes, I agree with the others.
When I try a new ROM and it fails for some reason or another, I always just go back to win6.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283) and start over.
A bit of a hassle, but have found this to be the most reliable way so far.
how can I flash it back to 6.5 if I cant get to the bootloader/ when it doesn't recognise the phone when it's plugged in

When flash back to 6.5... you don't need a computer. All you need is an SD card. Download the correct file that matches to your country... extract the file... pull out the nbh file and rename it leo... then place it on the root of your SD... then boot.
This is a short run down of how to get it back to stock. Search a little... cause I know there is a thread that tells you how to do it in detail... plus it have all the files that you'll need.

MY PROBLEM IS:I can't get the HD2 into the bootloader and/or get my PC to recognize the phone via WMDC.
Its just so unresponsive, All its doing is Vibrating constantly/Vibrating patterns/black illuminated screens/ & very rarely, the "Loading please wait" screen with the green android and some other figure I forgot in the bottom right corner. Then on the top it gets stuck on the "aMAGLDR v1.11" and other descriptive words/numbers below it, on the top center.

Hi, I'm new to XDA-developers forum, and I have 2 non-working HD2's that have been sitting around for quite some time now.
I've recently tried to get it fixed and get into this type of phone modding, as I can see HD2's are very popular for tweaking software's and such.
I have been searching around the web, more so the XDA forums, for answers to my "Special case" (yes I've seen the video when you first sign up for an account on XDA, quite funny ) of a conundrum...
Anyway, 1 HD2 is fully dysfunctional and shows no sign of life (No vibration/lights) but the lower portion of the back does get warm when I try and charge it. I have no hope for this HD2 and I think its only good for spare parts for someone else.
The other HD2 is "somewhat" functional. Sometimes if I get lucky it vibrates continuously or repetitively.
What I know about the half functioning phone:
Let my friend have it, he did some flashing of the ROM, it stopped working after awhile, and then he gave it back to me because he got another phone.
Sometimes after turning it on, it gets suck on the "aMAGLDR v1.11" screen.
I've searched up "MAGLDR" and know that its some kind of custom bootloader or so.
I've searched up how to update it to "MADLDR v1.13" and update the radio and/or use the "RUU-LEO" file.
I have all those files&programs downloaded and ready to go.
Thank you for reading my thread
It would be AWESOME if someone could help me, or even inform me of what has happened with it. If you need further answers about my two HD2's please ask me the questions, I would love to try and answer them!

Those repetitive vibrations on starting are not a good sign(usually it means a non/working CPU/motherboard)!
You should flash a stock ROM and see what happens, but I suspect it won't boot up and you'll get again those vibrations: it worth try it and let me know!
Good luck!
Are you able to get to the tricolored screen by holding the power button and the volume down button? If you can get there, you may be able to task29 it and flash it with a new radio. My guess is someone flashed it with the wrong radio. Once it has the correct radio, if there is no hardware damage, it should work again.
I broke my digitizer . I'll be interested in buying the completely dysfunctional one from ya . Send me a pm if you're interested .

Yes, after I posted this thread, I was able to get into the tricolored screen. After that I tried to update the MAGLDR to V1.13, the screen got into the HTC loading screen with a progress bar stuck at 0% then on the computer it says there has been a communication error.
So my problem now is communication from my HD2 to PC, Which is weird because on the tricolored screen, the text switched to USB and I thought I figured it out, but no...communication error.
I am willing to do Task29 but I'm not aware of the risks or precedures.
Ok first off go to here and download the HD2 NAND Toolkit then install it o. Your computer. Next open the toolkit and then connect your HD2 to your computer via USB. Then use the toolkit to run the Task 29. Be warned though the Task 29 will totally delete the ROM partition of the NAND memory in your HD2 so you will not have a ROM on the device then so it will not boot to anything but the bootloader. Next use the Toolkit to flash either a Window's Mobile ROM, MAGLDR, or clk, you can also use it to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Ok, I have gotten the Tool kit but I wasn't able to perform task29.
I got a communication error again, I have tried to do task29 twice.
Here are some screenshots...

So my problem is still with the communication errors I keep getting if I try to do anything.
Is there anything I can do with the Micro SD card?

You can run a Task 29 via SD card. You need to go to here and download the Repack by ShaDrac. Then right click the file and unzip it. Then find the .nbh file and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and place it on the root of your SD card. Then boot into the bootloader and follow the on screen instructions.

The only thing I need to put on the SC card is the LEOIMG.nbh right

Yeah that is it, just copy the .nbh file and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh. Then copy it to the root of your SD card.
Edit: Once the Task 29 is done your HD2 will only boot to the first splash screen and you will be able to boot into the bootloader also. This is because the Task 29 removed the ROM from your HD2 and you will have to re-flash clk or MAGLDR then a recovery and then a Android ROM. Or you can always flash as Windows Mobile ROM.

Alright, I got into boot loader mode, then it goes onto a completely white screen with "Loading..." on the top.
After 5 minutes or so, the screen turns off with no instructions to follow after "Loading...".
I pressed the power button to see if it still works and goes into the old MAGLDR v1.11 screen with no menus/options.
Am I suppose to keep holding the Vol down button or something, I think im doing it wrong
Edit: I charged the phone before trying it again for a few hours and I think it was on the white "Loading..." screen for the whole charge.
I don't know whats wrong with it :d

First off sorry for the lag in response but I went to sleep not long after I posted my last response last night. If you never saw a box appear on the HD2 screen that asks you if you wanted to install the update and to press the power button to do so, then you did not run the Task 29. I am pretty sure you didn't anyway because you said you could still boot into MAGLDR 1.11 and if you had run the Task 29 then MAGLDR would no longer be on your HD2.
When you boot into the bootloader by holding the volume down button down and powering on the HD2 continue to hold the volume button down until you see searching. When you see searching you can release the volume down button and then you should see the window pop up that ask if you want to install the update and if so to press the power button to continue. Press the power button and the Task 29 will run, you should see a progress bar on the screen of the HD2.
Once the progress bar is done the HD2 should restart, but it will not have a ROM to boot so just pull the battery to turn it back off. Next, if you want to use Android, you need to install MAGLDR 1.13 or clk. You can install either one of these via SD card, just like the Task 29 you will have to copy the .nbh file for the custom bootloader you want to use to the root of your SD card and rename it LEOIMG.nbh. Make sure to remove the LEOIMG.nbh file that you used for the Task 29. Personally I prefer clk cause it makes the HD2 run like a native Android device, but you are having a communication error so this may lead to problems if you use clk as you have to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery via USB when you use clk. You know I would suggest you try a different USB cable as you might just have as faulty USB cable and that is what is causing the communication error. I would highly suggest you do this before trying to do anything at all more with the SD card. If you try another cable and it does not work then your HD2 more than likely has a faulty mini USB port.
If you try another cable and it works you can just use the toolkit to run the Task 29 and then use it to install either MAGLDR 1.13 or clk and then Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Whoa, after I read your post, I went and found another cable, attached it to the PC and turned on my HD2, it goes to the MAGLDR v1.11, but it has the options where I can use the volume buttons to choose things which I have never seen on this phone before lol.
What do you suggest I do since the options came up.
Wipe it and do MAGLDR v1.13
Or do one of the options on the screen
Okay well I've tried to task29 w/ the new cable, and it still does a communication error so there might be a problem with the mini USB port.
I tried to do task29 again via sd card, and this time I held down the volume down button for like 5 minutes until my fingers slipped, but there was no "searching" screen, just a "Loading..." screen and then it turns off after 10 mins.
I'm trying to get into that MAGLDR screen again with the options but I don't know how to, it was just too random.
I kind of wonder if a wrong radio was flashed to the phone and it got semi-bricked. I bought a phone once that was like that and tried to repair it and was unable to. I think there are people out there that can jtag it.
Maybe dude, right now im just waiting until someone knows exactly whats wrong with my phone and if they can fix it :d
i did do something to the radio, but i made sure it was the correct version according to their list of radios and the radio listed on my phone.
Anyway, im pretty much stuck. cant wipe via USB cable, of 3 different kinds.
and i cant wipe via sd card either.
will go back a few years and try and find old posts on old Kaiser thread,this starts to sound familiar with white screen and comms fail,if I remember properly it was/is problem with spl/hspl.
can you post what info does show on any boot screen.
am busy at moment will try searching later tonight.

One time I was able to flash something onto the phone and it was the "Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14" thing...
I don't remember why I did this but I did made sure it was compatible and it worked.
So it may have been the radio, I am not sure.
I do have pics of the boot loader screen before and after the flash.
If there are no solutions, I might as well sell them both. Which I'm about to do real soon
