My phone is still showing up in ROM Manager as a Desire. I uninstalled and reinstalled RM and have modified my build.prop to show my phone as a HD2.

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?

Didn't look there, just opened the list of roms. I'll check it out tonite, busy now.

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.

ROM Manager currently only works with cLK bootloader.

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.

I don't know about it flashing cLK to your HD2 bit if you want to flash cLK PM me and I can help you with it. Cause cLK is not as easycas MAGLDR.

It works!

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.

clk vs magldr

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.

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.

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

Problem installing CWM

Hello,
a month before i flashed my HTC HD2 to a DFT Froyo 2.2 Sense ROM.
Softwareversions as i undestand them are the following
Magldr 1.13
Android 2.2
Baseband 15.38.50.07U_2.10.50.19_2
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
BuildNo 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys
SoftwareNo. 2.29.405.5
Browser Webkit 3.1
I found the information to do this around in the internet. Knowing about XDA i decided to flash my Desire HD to Revolution HD. After having done the flash i found a lot more stuff around XDA and decided to flash my HD2 again to a newer mod.
Having bought CWM i thought it would be easy to flash the HD2 to another mod, but after installing ROM-Manager i wasn't and still am not able to install CWM. From the info shown in german, i would translate the following german text:"Bei der Ausführung von privilegierten Kommandos ist ein Fehler aufgetreten!" to "An error happened on execution of privilegised commands"
And now i'm stuck on this and don't know what to do. Afaik i would estimate this being a fault of SU which was installed with the ROM, but i really don't know it.
i would appreciate any help or hint.
Thx
Kai
Hi,
Unfortunately, ROM manager does not work with magldr...
If you want to use it ,you need to install cLK.Have a look at my sig...guide number 2
Did you buy CWM?("Having bought CWM i thought it would be easy to flash the HD2 to another mod,")
Should not have to pay for it.
All is in the guide..

No, you don't have to switch, the only difference is you manually enter cwm rather than the phone automatically entering cwm for you. just don't use rom manager. Read the cwm thread, in android nand development thread all info is there including free download links.( I'd be REALLY unhappy at whoever sold you cwm!, and in fact isn't it released under a freeware license? Making resale illegal?)

There is a free and paid version of ROM Manager in the Android market. The free version works good, but the paid version has added benefits of course, like installing from QR code, checjking for OTA ROM updates, aqnd more avaliable ROM downloads.

Hm. liking the way it works on Desire HD, is there a reason not to switch to clk and stay with magldr?
I would like to play with the HD2 as much as possible, so it would be really fine, if i was able to switch between roms as easy, as in Desire HD, working with rom-manager and CWM.

Hi,
For me I'm using magldr and I find it easy switching between ROMS,because I am used to it.I cannot vouch for clk ,because I have not tried it yet,but I'm told it is much more native to android,therefore more user friendly.
If I were you,stick with magldr for a while,then change to see the difference..

Yeah but with MAGLDR you have to boot into MAGLDR, then into CWM, then select to do a backup, then select to wipe your data your cachje and delvik cache, then go and select to flash your ROM. With cLK you install ROM Manager from the Android market then just open ROM manager and select "Install ROM from SD Card" then pick the ROM from SD card. Then a window opens in ROM Manager and you check the box to :"Backup Existing ROM", "Wipe Data and Cache", and "Wipe Delvik Cache". Then you tap ok and it automatically boots into CWM and executes all the commands then flashes the ROM and reboots the device when it is done flashing the ROM. Remember you did all the set up in Android itself. Plus ROM Manager has like a hole bunch of other options. You seee ROM Manager is a interface for CWM in Android. You can even use ROM manager to flash CWM, I just flashed to CWM version 3.1.0.0 tonight with it, and gues what that is because it told me it was a update avaliable for CWM when I opened ROM Manager. Not to mention the fact you do not have to worry about making CWM the right partition size anymore cuase cLK sets the partition sizes when you flash, it is like auto pilot. But the best of all you can actually turn your HD2 off and charge it using cLK, you don't get that with MAGLDR.

Hi,
So you can set the partition size in android?
Does that mean you can load a ROM without the use of a PC?

That looked quite strange to me. I had to choose right CWM first, before flashing the ROM. on my Desire HD i'm able to download the ROM with the DHD and afterwards flashing it directly from the SD-Card.
Yes, without using a PC. Dunno if it's possible like that on the LEO using CLK.
Bu i've got a Question about CLK. If using it, is it hard to switch back to a WinMobile ROM?
Switching back to winmo is the same for both magldr and clk,,,, flash your phones correct stock rom.
I can't add anything to the pros and cons of clk, I plain and simply can't get it to instal. I suspect its something left over from when I installed the android sdk and eclipse, followed by wp7 sdk , just can't get the command line to pass commands to the phone (required to initially set up clk)
Next time I clean reinstall my PC I'll try again, but till then magldr for me.(which is fine, I've always preferred doing stuff manually, automation takes the fun out of it for me)

From what I understand cLK sets the partition size when using it so you do not have to. I mean you can flash CWM via ROM Manager and it does not ask you what partition size you want, it just flashes it. Also you can download and flash a ROM just using ROM manager, you never have to touch a computer. Now granted the only ROM I see available right now is Hyperdriod and a Cyanogen Mod ROMs, but I am sure more will become available when more people switch to cLK and can use ROM Manager. Right now when I touch on Download ROM I see this.

Hey San have you tryied adding the directory to your "Enviroment Variables" on your computer. This will allow you to open a command prompt up that is in the directory you need to get CWM flashed. Click on my guide and scroll down to post#3 where I expain how to flash CWM with cLK and I give full details.

[Q] Using ROM Manager on HD2

I have installed Android to NAND on a HD2 using the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
The ROM works and the phone works nicely as an Android phone, but I can't use ROM Manager. If I try to use ROM Manager to flash a different ROM it will download the file to flash and then restart the phone.
The phone will just boot as usual back into Android.
If I try going into MAGLDR and then into AD Recovery and Manually flashing the downloaded file it fails.
Is there some other setting I need here? Does ROM Manager work for other HD2's?
Thanks,
ANkh
I have the same problem. I installed Android (TyphooN CyanogenMod) on NAND with magldr and everything works pretty nice. When I go into ROM Manager, I can see the updates and even download them, but when I go to install, it just reboots the phone. I see others that have had success with the HD2 and Rom Manager on this forum. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
rom manager only works with clk bootloader, not with magldr.
^^^^^^^^^
True, ROM Manager needs cLK's Bootloader to work.
But cLK Lacks RMNET (you can call it stable data connection)
Yes ROM Manager only works with cLK, but just to add I use cLK and I use ROM manager at least three times or sometimes more a week.
Also I have been using cLK for several months now and I personally prefer it to MAGLDR< but that may not be the case for everyone else. I do admitt the data signal does suffer sometimes with it but the ability to use ROM Manager, charge my battery when off, and last but not lest being able to use \ADB fastboot commands is worth it to me.
Thanks for getting back to me guys.
I'll considering switching to cLK.
Thanks,
ANkh

[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.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA
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

Problems with loading Clockwork mod and roms

Hello xda members i want to install an android rom on my hd2, as after i got the screen fixed it lost the rom I had installed and yhen i could not install new ones.. So followed instructions below and got stuck on the second paragraph
Connect the device to the USB port
Put the device into factory flash mode by booting it while pressing "volume down"
Install HSPL using the "Install HSPL" function inside HD2ToolKit - MAGLDR: Android / WP7 supports 2.08 ONLY!
Put the device into factory flash mode by booting it while pressing "volume down"
Do "Task29" (aka Complete Wipe) using the "Wipe (Task29)" function inside HD2ToolKit
Put the device into factory flash mode by booting it while pressing "volume down"
Install Latest Radio Firmware using the "Install Custom NBH/NB RUU" function inside HD2ToolKit - HD2 Radios
Put the device into factory flash mode by booting it while pressing "volume down"
Install Latest MAGLDR using the "Install MAGLDR" function inside HD2ToolKit
Boot into MAGLDR recovery menu by pressing the "shutdown/hangup" button while booting up
Choose "USB Flasher"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The above all appeared to work and go well
Flash the Latest CWR (Clockwork Recovery) with the appropriate partition sizes by using the "Repartition" button inside the HD2ToolKit: System: 200MB | Cache: 5MB
Boot into MAGLDR recovery menu by pressing the "shutdown/hangup" button while booting up
Insert MicroSD card with the ROM ZIP
Choose "AD Recovery"
Flash ROM ZIP
Reboot
Click to expand...

Okay the problem is CWR (i downloaded the 150mb version as thought that will work with the rom) It will not install properly and I can not load the CWR menu up. 8. 'AD recovery' states in red "No sources".
Another error message I got is when I first start my phone I get this "Nand Kernal open failed"
Please help me I need to get this fixed as the phone is a present for someone.
Did you use the repartition option in the toolkit or you downloaded a separate package?
Use the option in the tool, and make sure you select the sizes according to the ROM you want to install.
Of course the device would say nand kernel failure, there is nothing in the device. After installing the recovery you need to flash a ROM, obviously.

Thanks for getting back to me,
This is the rom i tried to install but any rom will be fine to be honest!
[17.DEC.2012║ROM] myMIUI 15 B5 [MAGLDR/CLK║Dorimanx║GB║myMIUI IDE©║zipA║MultiLang]
So i did a wipe 29 again, the radio is Radio-Leo-2.15.50.14 and i googled it to download,
just to make sure the repartition was done from the HD2 tool, all stages complete and repartitioned to rom specs 200mb and 5mb cache, so repartition from HD2 tool installs cwmod then?
8. AD Recovery - still stuck saying gogogo..
Which radio do you have installed?

Radio-Leo-2.15.50.14 I dont know if your supposed to see the radio show up on one of the screens in magldr or hspl? but i've not seen anything that shows the radio loaded other than "success" after the initial installation.
It was installed through HD2 toolkit after extracting the two files to desktop.
Also I downloaded the radio from file sharing website after I googled it as the links on xda were no longer working.
thanks,
Well, I am sorry but I am no expert in MAGLDR. All I know is that the infamous Stuck @ GOx3 had been fixed in MAGLDR v1.13.
If you already have v1.13, I am at the limit of my knowledge, sorry.
You could try to re-install though.

Okay mate thanks for your help anyway it was nice of you to take the time to try to help me .
I hope someone else on these forums will help me, I guess i can still go back to the old windows 6.5. I read someone else had similar problem and ended up going back to 6.5. It's a shame because i was giving the phone as a present and wanted it in good working order with android or at least the new windows mobile system..
Maybe the old methods of installing android on the SD card without magldr would work, I would need to find the posts with guides for that as it was such a long time ago when I went through those instructions I really cant remember.
repartition again, if it not work, try this way
gdsbalaji said:
do this...depending on the recommended recovery size (typically 5-150-5 for non sense versions) download a recovery from here ..then restart you phone...go into magldr...go to flasher...once the usb is linked to pc run daf.exe from the recovery (extracted folder)...u will then have recovery installed

You know, you could hit the thanks button for Marvlesz
Anyway, I can't see where you're going wrong here. All your steps are (as far as I can see) perfectly fine. Just to double check, you have:
HSPL 2.08
Radio 2.15.50.14
MAGLDR 1.13
CWM (from the Toolkit)
right? If so, everything should theoretically work correctly. Try downloading an older CWM version such as the one from the guide in my sig and flashing that instead.
Thankyou tried that tin1203 and I found the 250mb and 400mb (old version) but couldn't download the 150mb version..Links dead
Still stuck on 8.AD recovery.
However instead of being stuck on gogogo, AD recovery simply stated "No Boot sources"
Anything else I can try? Or know a guide to at least get the phone back to working in some form? Cheers

Yep HSPL 2.08 installed
Now how would i check the Radio? Install it again and receive confirmation once installed? Or is there another way to check?
MAGLDR 1.13 is installed
CWM from the toolkit will not load up - when installing it everything appears to work and install fine ( no errors etc) However 8. Ad recovery will not load up.
Anything else i can do to at least get the phone operational.
To check the radio, turn your phone off then on again. While it's booting up (on the first splashscreen) three lines of text will appear. The top one is something like R: 2.15.50.14 (or whatever radio you have, obviously) so try checking that line and making sure that it's a .50 radio. If it is, then everything worked fine when you flashed the radio. Also try the CWM version from the guide in my sig, it's supposed to be one of the most stable versions I think.
Hey i think i know what your problem is and since it's a present i hope that will work...there are two types of recoveries...the ones flashed on nand that can be booted from 8.ad recovery...and the ones flashed on the sd that can be booted from the 3rd option of mgldr..i think is called 3.ad sd..i really hope this will help!

Thanks for the help guys, after my previous post I decided to try installing windows 7 and all went well in terms of flashing the rom however although it appears to have loaded I have no touch screen, its completely not working
This could be due to windows 7 software or when it got fixed as I not used the touch screen since..
Oyeah thanks for helping, just need to get someone to fix the touch screen i guess.
It would be better for you if you install cwr from toolkit, just select the partition size(magldr repartition) for eg. 150 like you want and you'll get cwr v5.0.2.6.. Those recoveries that you're downloading from guide suck, didn't work for me too(ok, they worked but I couldn't flash anything even if I downloaded the 400 one).. Recommended.
EDIT: Sorry, haven't seen the second page of the thread where you already mentioned that cwr from toolkit won't boot.

Yeah thanks I really tried a lot of stuff and I know the basics been flashing since HD2 came out, I ended up flashing new windows and it actually loaded up but then guess what? The touch screen is not responding, ill be taking it back to where I got that fixed to complain.
