I just bought an hd2 which came with wp7 and has MAGLDR 1.12 with the dual boot option but Android doesnt boot thru the SD card.I think the Android rom was on another card. Can i just do a fresh install of Android on top of the wm7 install or do i need to do anything special? I would appreciate any tips as i wouldnt wanna brick this phone.
If you're just trying to dual boot wp7 and android as long as your sd card is partitioned correctly you can just download any rom to your sd card and it's as simple as that. If your sd card is partitioned or you don't know if it is just follow the steps here.

If you're only interested in booting android you can do it through NAND which boots android directly from your phone and you can follow these steps

Hello.
Im loving my HTC HD2. I think its a great PPC, and im happy with its settings too.. I have some questions about Android that I hope you could help me with.
1. If im gonna try Android. I want to back up my WM6.5 with all settings etc. Is it possible to make a image of my current OS+settings+programs? And How do I "go back" to my WM6.5 if its a total failure?
2. How do Android on HTC HD2 work? Does it remove WM6.5 at all or run as "dualboot"?
3. I had TyTn2 before. Many had problems with HardSPL, bricking and such.. Is it a big chance that Android will do the same?
4. Any tips?

1. Android for HD2 is at the moment only aviable for SD-Card boot. NAND - boot will come. So SD-Card means that it wont erase anything from you winmob rom. You need HSPL (means you loose warranty, but restoring is simple) to flash a radio > or = 2.08. The rest is very simple and not dangerous. So you wont need to backup the phones date. If you format your sd card you should backup the things on it as you know. Android works quite well. like a native android phone! try it!
A real dual boot doesnt exist but will come.
Do I erase anything with applying HSPL? Or do I just "patch" my curret radio?
First check your radio it needs to be 2.08.50 or above but ending in 50
if not you will need to flash see

I have no problems running this on a stock tmobile 1.72 rom with the radio upgraded to 02.08.50
Unable to load American Android 2.3 on HTC HD2.
Downloaded the American Android 2.3 for TMOUS->Extracted Android folder to blank SD card /sdcard/Android->Opened up file manager on HTC HD2 /sdcard/Android and ran clrcad.exe got the untrusted popup clicked okay->Ran haret.exe got popup again clicked okay then saw a few white command lines (maybe 5) then the green HTC logo appears and sits there for ever. I let it sit for 30 min and no change had to pull the battery and restart windows. Phone is up to date only difference might be is it has been unlocked through T-Mobile. Does anyone know how to avoid this?
Ergh
I even tried HSPL3 and that didn't help... I just want the American Android 2.3 Gingerbread to load on my HTC HD2.. WTF!
Im having the same problem as well. I did the fat32 primary partition, on a clean sd card, ill wait for 30 minutes before i give up. some one please help, i got the desire hd rom running but would like to see what the gingerbread 2.3.3 is like.
Did you flash a new radio rom?
SO, you are going from WIn 6.5 to Android just by haret ? You cannot
If I was you I would start all over flashing HSPL 3, then flash Radio 2.15, then install Magldr 1.3, then copy the zip file to sd card and install. It's as easy as drinking a glass of water.
Be sure you chose SPL 2.08.HSPL and NOT SPL 2.80 when you flash HSPL 3

Ok first off what valv507 is mistakenly thinking you are trying to run Andriod from NAND. When you flashed MAGLDR you wiped your ROM from your HD2. This is why you can not get past MAGLDR it needs a ROM to boot.
You will have to reinstall your Windows Mobile ROM (hope you dide not loose too much data ) make sure it is a 3.14 ROM as they are the best for running Android from SD. Also make sure you have the 2.15.50.14 radio or atleast the 2.14.50.02 radio, the 2.15.50.14 radio is the best though. Also reformat your SD card again but use the Panisonic software to format it as most people say it is better than the Windows software. You can download it here. Make sure you do a full wipe and format using Fat 32. Then place all of your files and stuff from your back up back on your SD card including your Adroid build. then try to boot the Android again.
Put your HD2 into bootloader to reflash your Win Mo ROM. Hold down the volume down button while powering on your HD2 to get to bootloader and make sure you see USB in the white bar of bootloader before you flash the ROM.

What if I just want to run Android from NAND? At this point I just want to flash Gingerbread 2.3 on there but want the best version of that with the fewest bugs. Do you have any links to such a ROM? How would I go about flashing it? Thank you for the help in advance.
If you do a YouTube search you cab find a "how to install " video for installing NAND Android GB 2.3.2 on the HD2, it also has links to ROMs, Radios and MAGLDR 1.13. I installed it in about 15 mins after d/ling the specified files and I have only had a HD2 for 3 days. Very good video. I would link you to it but I am at work right now and I have the page saved to face on my home PC

If you want to go NAND Android just click on thr guide linked in my signature. I have links to two of the best guides on how to install NAND Android on your HD2 at the top of my guide. My guide is not a guide on how to install NAND Android but a guide to teach you what the things you need to install and run Android from NANN and WP7 are, what they do, and how to install them.
Also I use a non HTC Sense Gingerbread ROM and I really like it click the link for Hyperdroid in my signature if you want to check it out.

What exactly are you asking here? Do youi want to know how to enter bootloader?
If so you just hold your volume down button down while powering on your HD2, this brings up the multicolor bootloader screen. From bootloader you can connect your HD2 to your computer wait for Serial to change to USB and then flash what ever you are wanting to flash radio, Windows Mobile ROM, splash screen, MAGLDR, and cLK. Click on my guide in my signature to get even more knowledge.
it is possilbe to have magldr installed running whatever NAND os you want.. and still boot ACA from sdcard.
the first post of the ACA thread has all the details you need to accomplish this.

to run it from nand you go to 10 services, than boot settings ,than select android sd ,than go to 10 again than select boot settings ad sd dir than select the android folder make sure there is not another folder named android, than go to ad sd nand and it will load. it tooked 15 minutes but he did say it would take long.
I took the same steps as the OP did and I'm experiencing the same problem. I am not planning to go through NAND and would like to stick with the SD build but it will not load. Any suggestions?
I'm using the latest American android build. Here is what I did:
1. Copy ENTIRE android folder to sd. If you want a faster boot time you need to copy over a new data image since one is not included in this build. It will create one on first boot, but this takes longer.
2. Once you've done this run clrcad then haret and allow it to boot. Mine took about 15 min total boot time to first lock screen without a data img. And about 7 to 10 min with.
3. Once you see the first screen DO NOT touch it. Let it settle for about 10 min. After that it should shut it self down.
4. Turn phone back on and boot android again. Letting it settle again for a few minutes. After 5 or 10 min of letting it settle pick it up and enjoy your sexy gingerbread.
Also, on a side not magldr is used for booting from wp7 to android. Haret is what is used for booting android from wm6.5
Hope this helped.

Hi mate, I use SD American Android and it works well.
You should have SPL 2.08 HSPL
You need Radio 2.15.xx
And you need a custom rom that is compatible. As a reference, I use platinum series custom wm rom (check my sig below)
Reformat your micro sd with fat32. Dont put any files on there, except the Android files in the root of your sd card.
Dont forget to change the gps zone in the "Startup.cfg" to your location/country code
Leave it booting for 30 minutes..
I also thought that it wouldn boot, after almost 30 minutes it booted...
Dont give up mate

You do not have to have HSPL to run Android from SD card, HSPL is only needed if you are going to flash a custom Win Mo ROM, a stock Win Mo ROM that os not for your HD2, MAGLDR, cLK, or if you are going to run a Task 29. I ran three different Android SD builds before going NAND and never had HSPL on my HD2 until I got ready to flash MAGLDR.
Also you do not have to flash a custom ROM to run Android. You just want to have a 3.14 Win Mo ROM be it stock or custom. what matters is that ot is a 3.14 ROM. I ran all three Android SD card builds on a completely stock 3.14 ROM and never had any problems with them, except data drops which are just because they are SD builds.
Oh and by they way I accidently hit your thanks button trying to hit quote. lol

ok brother let me try it. I will need ur guidence in any case of problem
thanks for the help
I was using the XBmod 1.10 all the time. Today I wanted to flash the new 1.11 ROM. I had no problems with flashing the ROM. HSPL 2.08, RadioROM 2.15 and Magldr 1.13 is installed. But after flashing it hang up on the black HTC screen after Magldr.
Now when I flash the 1.10 Version again I cant open Pictures and Camera anymore. I thought at first that its a problem with the SD Card so I reformated the card again with SDFormatter but the SD Card is correcty recognized by WP7 and Zune.
When I flash another ROM like HD2O 1.14 I cant open the Internet Explorer. Before XBmod 1.10 I was using HD2O 1.13 ROM without any problems.
So what the hell happend that no ROM is working anymore? Never had problems with flashing nor with my SD Card. Tried Task29 several times and always before flashing.
Please help!
Did you properley format your card?
You've probably tried this but just going through what I would do in your situation..
Format SDCard....
Format: FULL+Overwrite
Size Adjustment: ON
Clean Install..
Get the HD2 Tools in the sticky thread in Android NAND section
Put phone into bootloader - Use Task29
Put phone into bootloader - Install MAGLDR
Boot MAGLDR and load USB Flasher
Flash ROM
If the above doesn't fix issue then it sounds like a hardware issue, either your device or card. Try a different card.
Definitely do a task 29. I've had issues re-flashing WP7 multiple times and everytime I task 29 and reinstall everything (just MAGLDR really) and then flash, then it works wonderfully. I spent almost a whole night trying to get WP7 and SD android to boot together and after I got it I vowed never to flash a new build again...shame that vow was broken the next day
I think that your sd card is crashed. I had similar problem with qumo card. It worked very unstable. Try to change the card.
Thank you for your replies!
How I said..I am using Task29 all the time before flashing ROMs.
@TheATHEiST
I formated my SD Card again with Full+Overwrite and size adjustment but its still the same.
The XBmod 1.11 ROM wont start after flashing.
I will give 1.10 a try again, but I dont know that to try anymore.
Do you mean this tools? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
What do I have to do with that?
I also tried another SD Card but I only have a 1GB Card at the moment and the card didnt work. I think the size is too small.
But why the hell I can copy pictures on my card but WP7 cant see them in pictures? And why does the other ROM work but Internet Explorer not?
Thats totally weird.
EDIT:
Its working again!!
I formated my SD Card again with SDFormatter and then I flashed the HTC 1.66 Stock ROM without SIM Card.
Then I flashed RadioROM 2.15 and Magldr 1.13 again. After that XBmod 1.10. After installation I changed the language, restart, then finished the installation wizard til WP7. Then I put in the SIM Card and started again.
Now everything works.
I still dont have a clue what is about XBmod 1.11 but I dont have the nuts anymore to try it again... atleast this evening
So I am still interested in some hints to get 1.11 working.
Thanks
Shaitan! Maybe your sim card is main problem? And first firmware was uploaded without errors?
I didnt really get you but my SIM Card wasnt never a problem. I didnt have no errors when i flashed any ROM.
Hello all,
I'm new to the community, though I have spent quite a bit of time learning and educating myself with the incredible guides and information here.
I have a TMOUS HD2 1024 LEO.
I've followed the steps to a tee from mskip's guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948&highlight=guide
1. My HD2 already had the 2.15.50.14 Radio installed.
2. Installed HARDSPL 2.08
3. Installed MAGLDR
4. I also installed the Clockwork Mod, following the instructions for the specific ROM that I wanted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915159 which are as follows...
Have you updated your Clockworkmod Recovery Partitions since March 31st 2011? If not or you don't know please complete this step. If you already have, skip this part...

Unzip CMYLXGOs.ClockworkMod.Recovery.Partition.Setup.03. 31.2011[445MB]v3.0.2.4-seadersn.7z
Power up or reboot phone and hold down the red end/pwr key until MAGLDR Boot menu: appears
Scroll down to option 5. USB Flasher and hit the Green Send key
Plug phone into PC and run DAF.exe

So, this is where I'm on my question. I'm now on my step to Flash the ROM I want to use on my phone (in my case, cmylxgo's 15.Jun.11 Stock Desire HD)...
When I booted to the Clockword Mod Recovery Mode to "install zip from sdcard" I discovered that... I had done all these steps without a microSD card inside of the phone! (I purchased a refurbished HD2, and didn't realize the card was missing I did ALL these steps, beginning with installing HSPL!)
So - I wonder, is everything that I have done so far "valid," or will I have an error because I took these steps without a microSD card inside the phone? I don't understand the technology completely, but it seems like HSPL and MGLDR were installed successfully because they do not utilize the microSD card. Perhaps Clockword Mod also installed correctly because it doesn't use the microSD card? I never got any error messages, except when I actually tried to access the SD card via Clockword Mod because, well, there wasn't an SD card for me to access!
The reason I had concern in the first place is because when I was going through the HSPL and MGLDR and CWM installation stpes, I got a message like "installation will take around ten minutes," but it took less than a few seconds! Maybe I have a fast computer ... or maybe it didn't fully "install properly."
Any answers/tips/advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I have no experience whatsoever in any of this but if it has installed then it should be fine. Also, when it says 'this process can take up to ten minutes' it actually takes a few seconds. Happened to me when installing HSPL and a custom WinMo ROM. I'm sure you're fine.
