[Q]Android to Windows 7? - HD2 General

hi i just baught a HTC HD2 off of craiglist and it is running Android 2.3. My question is do i need to go back to windows 6.5 to upgrade to windows 7? or can i upgrade Windows 7 from Android 2.3? thank you in advance...

Try this. Power off device. power up device and hold the power button. A menu will appear called MALGDR. Using the vol keys to scroll and the power button to select, go to USB flasher. Plus in your phone to computer. Download a WP7 rom. Flash the DAF/whatever.exe file as an administrator if you're on vista/7. And done.

kool, thank you will try it out...

so i can download one of these windows7 roms and just do the procedure you told me?

Ya. Doesn't matter if it's android/WP7, you flash a new rom through the USB flasher. For winmo roms, you need to get to the tri color screen. Which is by powering up the device whilst holding vol down.

just kinda of confusing reading up stuff like i need to download window sdk zune etc.... but i will try your procedure... thank you

ive seen this, but when i go to usb flasher and confirm it shows Wait USB... and wont connect.
you need to "run it as admin"
i tried running as admin, and am no longer getting stuck at wait USB..., but when i try to update magldr, i got an error 264 after it tries to verify the phone information
Your phone is in the bootloader menu ?
the one with the 3 collors ?
if not shut your phone down pres vol down and then power your phone on while pressing the vol down button.
Your computer sould now find a alternative driver for your HD2 if not install the one that is floting around here somewere. And try again.

This was pretty simple way to upload from 1.10 to 1.13
I don't know why others have given confusing solutions..
Thanks
I'd add my 2 cents - run UPDATE UTILITY from drive C: (had that issue myself and spent some time on it)
to summarise 'flash magldr from bootloader, not from usb flasher'.

Restoring to Original Stock ROM

Hey everyone,
Just recently I flashed my HD2 with WP7, after playing around with it for a while, because of its limitations I want to restore it to the original WinMO 6.5 ROM, I got it from the HTC website and when I run it it says connect with USB and use activesync, as you may know this isnt possible because WP7 uses Zune, can you please help me out here.
Thanks.
Never mind, for those in the same boat, turn off the phone, hold down VOL DOWN key and POWER button to go into tri color menu, then connect the device with usb and finally run the STOCK ROM.
I also had to repartition the SDCard, it was showing 200mb only.

[Q] Help with Android on HD2

So I installed Android on my HD2 using a youtube from some that created an Android App from the Dark Forces Team. Now the Android system is fully rooted into my phone and I want to get rid of it and go back to the Stock ROM of when you first have a HD2. Windows Mobile Device Center won't pick it up since it no longer has Windows on the phone. Can anyone help me get my phone back to it's original Stock ROM?
Once you've downloaded the ROM and you're ready to install it on your phone, turn the phone off and then hold down the volume-down button and press the power button briefly. Keep holding the volume-down button till you get the tri-colour screen.
It should say "serial" at the bottom. Plug in the USB cable and wait till it says "USB" and then flash the ROM as normal.
Good luck mate
Yeah, lol. I am not that cellphone smart. How would I flash it back to the Stock T-Mobile ROM when windows device center won't recognize my device?

Uninstallation
It is possible to downgrade to original Windows Mobile 6.5, by just flashing to an Official ROM.
Both MAGLDR and Android will be removed

DO as the guy said, read the main threads - the stickies
There is a link in my signature - how to flash everything - go and read
And if you are that lazy:
power down the phone
hold vol.down and press and release power button - still holding vol.down
Now connect the usb cable - to your phone and your PC
Run RUU.exe or whatever the file of your WinMo Rom is and follow the instructions on the screen
lol
Thank you guys.
So I have a new question for everyone. Have any of you had the problem with your phone no longer vibrating or the speaker for music no longer works? Well it works when it wants to.

[Q] Cant go back on 6.5 Stock Rom

Hi everybody,
First, sorry for my poor english, i try to explain the best i can.
My HD2 is on one of the first Phone 7 release 01/2011 ago.
I want go back on stock rom, cause recently, i've a bug, my phone can't boot. It stay on Phone7 logo and next reboot.
Without my SD card, the phone boot, but it's in english, and My computer recognyze it on " Windows Phone7 " with yellow exclamation point.
I've tried to flash 6.5 stock rom with usb cable, but it's said it can't connect the device.
To go on flash screen, i push reboot+power off+ vol down button. Next on emagldr 1.13 screen, i select "5.usb flasher".
Next i can check on my computer's now recognyzed as " Microsoft USB Sync", but the stock rom still not abble to work:" no phone response, check usb cable"
I'm sure that my usb cable is working.
Any suggestion ?
You might try going into the normal bootloader, not into MAGLDR.
Push both vol. down and power buttons until the device starts into the multicolor bootloader screen, then connect the USB cable.
If you didn´t change your PC, it should now be able to connect via ActiveSync.

Thanx for your answer, i think the bug is here i cannot enter normal tri-color bootloader, it doesnt work :s
When i do power+ vol down until the device start, i first have a blank Htc screen maybe 1sec, and quikly next boot menu from MAGLDR 1.13
However, i'm sure that my Vol Down button work, it works on magldr menu.
try pulling out the battery, then hold down the two volume buttons, as hard as you can safely get away with, pop the battery back in whilst still holding buttons down, if it doesnt start tap the power button. keep holding down the buttons through out the whole process until it comes on.
if you can read the content of your sd card in pc then you can flash WinMo6.5 rom via sd card.... :
- go to HTC website, download appropriate rom for your HD2 with your s/n
- extract NBH file from downloaded ROM (can be done with 7-zip, Winzip...)
- rename extracted IMG file to LEOIMG.NBH
- copy that file to SD card
- boot your HD2 with SD card while holding VOL DOWN
- you should see a flash menu appear, press VOL DOWN again (if i remember.. ) and you'll flash 6.5 rom
- that's it, you'll have new instance of WinMO 6.5, with stock SPL, without MAGLDR and ANY trace of WP7.-..
oh, if you dont see anything on your SD card or you cant copy to it, it is locked and you have to format it either with some utility or in a Nokia N, E series phone... I know for a fact that N79 works
this should do the trick...

huh, must be that i'm blind missed it completely
Thx for taking time to help me,
So, if i push vol up and down, i 've a screen, next the screen loading wph 1,2,3,4 Go.
I read on it "This operation will 1.delete all your personal data, and reset all setting to manufacturer default. 2. Calculate CRC checksum. Press Voldown to restore manufacturer default, or press Vol Up to get CRC, or press other keys to cancel".
But,
Nothing happend if i press vol down, or volUp or other buttons :s
Maybe we've to try another way to get into bootloader, i think my poor batterie level is bugging the bootloader.
So, I known that we can't acces bootloader via windows.
I'm on Seven x64, my hd2 is recognyzed as a phone7 Device, with a yellow "!".
If i launch HSPL 4, with administrator right, and XP SP2 compatibility level, it can't acces via USb. " no response".
Any suggestions ? May i change the driver?
right, well that proves the buttons are working, i think its just a case of not having them held in at the right time
pop the battery out, hold down the vol down button on its own and keep it held down, put the battery back in and if it doesnt restart tap the power button.
dont let go of the vol down button
Yep, i've done this maybe 30 or 40 times, no way, no bootloader.
I4ve found a thread that explain to fullu charge the battery, remove it and wait 24H before, do the operation ( vol down, putt battery still vol down, push power stil vol down) No way, this doesn't work :s
So i've order a new battery, maybe it'll resolve the problem, i hope. See when it arrive.
Oh dear, well if you definitely cant get in to bootloader and the keys do work then that's a problem, I doubt a battery will fix it but id be interested in knowing if it does work, good luck! Is been reading quite a bit about fixing devices via the wee metal points inside devices, I wonder I the points inside the hd2 will allow this...
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I'm not sure i've understand all your reply Dazza, are u suggesting to check the 3 pin connector baterry on my HD2 ?
If it's this, i've already check this, the 3 pin are good, and i've put a graphyte electrical dust on it to improve the contact.
Nope, I mean if you pop the battery cover off there are 3 metal connectors next to the sim card, it seems on some devices people have found similar points and managed to connect the device to a serial port on a pc, then had direct access to the device bypassing the bootloader. I don't think anyone done this for the hd2 yet but apparently this will fix a completely bricked device
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Ok ! Maybe if the new battery won't resolve, i'll try something like that
Its complicated an as far as i know its not been done for the hd2, im not even sure that's the correct points but its a possibility. There are another 2 points on the opersite side to the volume buttons under the battery cover.

[Q] won't go to bootloader htc hd2 t mobile

i have htc hd2 t mobile us
on windows phone 6.5 it never goes to boot loader mode by pressing the power key and the vol down it never respond to any thing before the start of windows 6.5 and i want to setup android but how i can without boot loader mode ????
plz help
Turn off phone .. HOLD volume down rocker, PRESS & RELEASE power button WHILE STILL HAVING THE VOLUME DOWN ROCKER HELD .
There are apps for Windows Mobile like BsB Tweaks and Anastasia End Key that allow you to co to the bootloader via a bootloader.exe file. But be warned that ones you no longer have Windows Mobile on your HD2 you will once again have to use the power and volume down button o get to the bootloader. I am on my Sensation posting right now so I am not going to type out a lengthy walk through right now. But if you are still interested in running Android PM me and I will try to put together a walk through that is suited to your situation.
Also it sounds like your volume down button is malfunctioning, which to be honest is not good as it can cause you to have a un usable device if you are not careful.

If you still can boot to Windows Mobile yes you can. But if you can not boot to Windows mobile than the only file that the device will recognize is a .nbh file and you have to boot to the bootloader for it to do that. If you can not boot to the bootloader manually by holding the proper button combo while booting then you have a hard bricked device and it needs to be JTAGed.

To do TAG you have to harvest the main board from the device and attach a JTAG to it. The connect the appropriate cable to the JTAG and to a Riff Box. The Riff Box connects to your computer and you then run software to reserect the bootloader. But this the riff box is expensive so I suggest you contact someone that does this for a small fee such as MobileTechVideos.com
