Upgrading Froyo to Gingerbread - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi
I have a HTC hd2 currently hard-installed with a android froyo which I'm loving, however I hear every nice things about gingerbread so thinking of upgrading
Have read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924
however it was posted under galaxy S so was hesitant on following it for my phone. Is this guide safe to follow for the HD2?
Or does anyone have a safe method of doing the upgrade?
Thank you.

Hi,
Do you have MAGLDR installed?

yes, the guide I followed instructed me to install MAGLDR
EDIT: sry would post the guide I followed however cannot due to forum rules about having more than 8 posts
however it involved using
HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
Radio that support 576 RAM
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader
ClockworkMod Recovery

The only way I found to upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread was to do a Titanium Backup of all the apps and individually restore. When I used MAGLDR to restore, apps going from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, some of the apps didn't translate to Gingerbread correctly I found. Some of them either wouldn't work or visually looked wrong. Also it would freeze the Gingerbread ROM for me on my phone as well. Going Titanium Backup may be tedious but it works. I went from Cmylxgo's Desire HD(2) ROM to currently Pongster's Hyperdroid CM7 v2.1.0 ROM.

Hi,
The best way to proceed is to start from scratch.
As slbenz suggests,use Titanium Backup To save all your data.
Then
Download THIS TOOL
Flash radio...download HERE Enter bootloader:hold down volume button when you power on phone.When you are on tri-color screen,insert cable to usb.When screen changes from "serial"to "usb",proceed.
Open HD2 Installer:
Task 29 (Enter bootloader:as above)
HSPL 2.08 HSPL (Enter bootloader:as above)
MAGLDR (Enter bootloader:as above)
(when magldr has loaded,power on and enter by holding power button until you see magldr screen.)
(when this is done,Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card.1024m with 0 cache)
Repartition according to ROM requirements.(via number 5 usb flasher)
Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
Then go to install zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card)
reboot.
Give it time.Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.

Hey thx for the reply, seems very detailed.
Will def try it out soon however it does seem longer than when I had to just install froyo and difficulty does seem to be heightened as well. Really need my phone this weekend so will wait til next week to try it out I guess ^^ Will report back with results or asking for more help lolz~
thx

Hi,
You want to change between very different systems.
It's worth starting from scratch to avoid problems at a later stage...

[Q] Oooo MAGLDR V1.12! Upgrading etc

MAGLDR V1.12 soon! main features: *various bug-fixes *built-in recovery support.
Now I know there's already a post. But what I'm asking for is if someone can write a brief walk through on upgrading...from old versions or clockwork.
Is it a case that you use the DFT flasher with the latest version to take the phone up to 1.12, then run the clockwork mod again? Or will clockwork not be required any more as it says it has built in recovery support?
Thought I'd get this nailed now before hundreds of questions plague the forum!
Step by step.
0. HardSPL should already be installed
1. Download and flash your carriers LATEST SHIPPED OFFICIAL ROM
2. Download and flash latest MAGLDR
3. Use latest MAGLDR to install Nand ROM of choice.
Very simple.

you can actually just flash 1.12 over 1.11 without having to go stock > HSPL first, just know that it will erase your current ROM per Cotulla it repartitions so back up your current ROM. If you're using CWM what you'd do is:
1) go into CWM and backup your ROM
2) Flash MAGLDR 1.12
3) Flash CWM
4) enter CWM and restore your backed up ROM.
If you want to do a "clean" install (recommended by some) then do as dharvey recommends, but I'd throw a task29 in there before flashing stock for that extra "clean" feeling.
edit: after re-reading your post, you have a point on maybe CWM being built into 1.12. If this is the case then you would skip step 3 and go from step 2 to accessing the built in CWM and restoring as in step 4.

Like TheATHEIST says, I don't think flashing a stock WinMo ROM makes a lot of sense here. Just flashing MAGLDR directly after task29 would be more sensible, I'd think.
Like you say, when you flash some Android ROM MAGLDR will repartition and overwrite the contents of your NAND anyway. No need to fill it with unnecessary WinMo stuff first.
Anyone here have a 1.12 beta?
I think there is no need for this thread. Cotulla should have the full instructions on how to upgrade from 1.10 or 1.11 when he has updated his post to the 1.12 build. It is too early to give update instructions for somthing that is yet to be released!

Not quite, I`m afraid. As people have mentioned before, you can just back-up everything then restore those back-ups after upgrading. Really isn`t that hard...

You would have to talk to cotulla for source code, as its closed source. It's only for hd2.

I agree. But I do a mtty- task 28, task 29 first before any new nbh. I also do a task2a but that is a bit much for most here who can't bring it back afterwards. For any interested in undoing task2a-clean let me know - not that hard -really. Damn I hope MAGLDR 1.12 can boot WM6.5 also ! and UBUNTU zImage/rootfs.ext2... Not gonna even mention wp7 although I heard it now has .pvk cracked and is LIVE. As long as bugs fixed be great: but ubuntu, ext2 support for it, and wp6 .nbh rom load from sd would be great. I am using darkstone super-nand with RAM image partition and getting OVER 4000 on QUADRANT with ABSOLUTELTY NO OVERCLOCKING. With over clocking it is crazy. Cant wait for (sorry off topic) super-nand with OC1536-smartass.
Only benefit of flashing stock rom is it does remove hspl and for some reason seems to CLEAN it out - ie: spl, radio, all nand etc. Ive been doing that and task2a AFTER enabling uselast24nand succesfully but had to make MY OWN NBH to get it back and put SPL/HSPL back onto after RSA FAIL = "bricked".
More seriously:
Anyone here know how to make magldr work with zImage and initrd from ubuntu? and mount/shrink/"yaffs" rootfs.ext2 ? maybe using initrd from CLK1.1 .nbh? or even darkstone's initrd and point onward to rootfs?

Yep. But #htc-linux is the only place to go for that but is waste: he is BUSY with two major projects . dont think he reads this but DFT do: mwang etc.
ps: darkstone-superNAND-rules: quadrant over4000 with no Overclocking at all and is Killer!
pps: Ubuntu DOES "boot" on Magldr 1.11 and gets upto keyboard and desktop - then freezes - why is this - note: must be in \linux and magldr pointed to it. It stays ALIVE a LOT longer under darkstone's supernand rom obviously due to something with ram partition? Any idea how to make it work? and keep it fully ALIVE?
WP7 over NAND android
i have magldr 1.11 and android, now i want to install wp7 rom over android, is it possible?

Yes. You'll obviously need magldr 1.12, and you will lose Android, but you can flash WP7 directly over it.
I just flashed MAGLDR 1.12 it doesn't seem you need to reinstall android, do i need to reinstall android? Will there be bugs, etc..?

Flashing magldr alone will not do anything to your installed ROM. You don't need to worry about reinstalling Android.

Need help figuring out what went wrong with Android install

My wife was having trouble with Windows mobile on her HD2 and asked me to flash Android on her phone so it wouldn't constantly crash and what not.
I have:
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
* Radio that support 576 RAM
* DFT MAGLDR Bootloader
* ClockworkMod Recovery
from this guide right here.
And I have installed this ROM via ClockworkMod instead of the ROM mentioned in the first guide because I thought Cyanogenmod 7 would be nicer.
Here is the problem, the phone has been stuck on the "HTC HD2" screen with the Android logo and "MDJ" on the bottom right corner, it has been stuck for over 30 minutes now so I'm going to assume something went wrong, the problem is that I can't figure out what. Does any one have any ideas? was something I did incompatible with anything from the 2 different guides?

I'm sorry...But which part of following the android build developer's instructions do you not get?....Fine, u decided 2 go thru CWR & i commend you for dat but it clearly states in [22 JAN] -=MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 [A2SD+][GRH78C][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.4 OC] thread from which you got the build that you should install thus;
Installation:
You should have at least MAGLDR 1.12 on device.
For installation you need enter MAGLDR (hold power button during boot)
and select "Flasher" via "VolUp" and "VolDown". Confirm key is "green".
(The above instructions means its a DFT build NOT FLASHABLE BY CWR).....
There are 3 videos in the original post detailing HOW to properly flash this rom...Now tell me...why oh why would you go against the original dev's instructions over one posted on a blog site?...
P.S. 4give my ranting but hope i solved your very SIMPLE problem and Yes, Flashing a nand DFT build will remove your CWR installation (which means should u decide 2 flash a CWR based build? u'll have 2 install CWR again.)
You know when I was looking over at all the information again I noticed that too risght after posting this, I guess all the information I just learned made me forget about needing at least MAGLDR 1.12, my bad. I've been looking for guides on how to update to 1.12 or 1.13 I've already downloaded 1.13 but since I can't get into windows anymore I don't know how to update MAGLDR. Can you help me out with that?

For magldr 1.13, boot to bootloader (multi-colured screen) and run the romupdateutility from the download. You will then need to apply the cwm1.3 partition and then boot to AD Recovery to install the rom.
Ok I was able to update to 1.13 through the bootloader, what I don't get is "to apply the cwm1.3 partition" I'm not familiar with the meaning of cwm1.3 since it wasn't mentioned in any of the guides I just read.

It doesn't matter if you have magldr 1.12 or 1.13. What matters is installing daf vs cwm and not daf-cwm.
Based on your first post, you tried installing a daf nand rom via cwm. That is, based on the links you have given. It has been point out also by vocrane on hist post.
I'm sure this is a dumb question but, what is daf?
jorge89 said:

Click to expand...

Daf = daf.exe ie the executable file you click to install a "daf" build as opposed to a zip build which you flash via cwm from your sd card.
PS! you'll find info on cwm 1.3 here
I see, I couldn't find a daf.exe file from the downloads of the ROM I was looking at, does that mean I'll have to find another rom that is flashed via "daf.exe"?
If you need to install the rom via USB Flasher from magldr, it will either have a daf.exe or install.exe file (or should at least). The roms you flash via cwm are in zip format and have afew sub folders which you copy to your sd card (the full unzipped zip file that is) and you then boot into cwm and install the rom from sd card.
I really need to get some sleep, I just found it. I'm flashing it right now.

Here's a quick lowdown...
There r currently 2 main ways u can get android on ur hd2...
Method 1.......Thru sd card (gives u dual-boot options with either WP7 or WinMo 6.5.x
Method 2.......On Nand which installs directly on your device, thereby wiping out WinMo (u've progressed in dis path since u've installed MAGDLR 1.13)....
>>>>>>Method 2 has 2 options;
Option 1......Involves flashing a "DFT Build" via the DAF installer included in the downloaded Build...(D build by Cyanogenmod 7 u pointed out earlier has 2 be installed thru dis method)...
Option 2......Involves flashing a "Zipped Build" via the CWR method...i recommend using builds which have this installation option as they offer more flexibility (full backup & restore)...
Option 1 & Option 2 CANNOT co-exist wit each other...

cant find the howto install android on hd2 thread

so what was it you flash hspl first? should i use a newer version or the 2.08 ok then do i flash the radio or clockworkmod? its just been so long sinced i switched from winmo to android i forgot how to do it lol thanks
It's still there. Link in my signature.
Basic steps
- 2.08.hspl
- Radio 2.08.50 (or higher 50)
- magldr 1.13
- if using cwm flash appropriate sized partition, or if daf then run from magldr.
That guide is the best! i've never done anything to my phone besies the t-mobile update and that was it. i was bored one day and decided to check into android hype. read the thread about 4 or 5 times and then tried.
everything went as planned and everything worked the first time. so i got to say thanks for making it so clear and easy to follow and understand.
im now on my third android build and loving it.

You will firstly need to work out what is set up on your device. Are you running Windows Mobile 6.5 first and then starting Android from the SD card (this is how we all did it before MAGLDR and CLK came along).
Once you have found what you have - you will want to use NAND booting - either use the CLK or MAGLDR method for putting on ROM images. I personally use the MAGLDR method with CWM (Clock Work Mod).
From scratch you will want to do this -- A Clean Install MAGLDR/CWM:
1. Task 29
2. Flash Radio (2.15 Recommended)
3. MAGLDR 1.13
4. MAGLDR 150MB System/5MB Cache (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.5)
Now step 4 can get kind of involved as the partition you need to put on your device can be somewhat dependent on the ROM image that your are going to load.
Step 5.
Choose a ROM image. Put the ROM image on the SD card.
Reboot your device. Hold down the power button until you get to the menu. Choose "AD Recovery" option. This will take you into the Clock work MOD recovery console. Once here you follow the instructions to flash your ROM on to your device.
Somebody clever has bult a program for automating a lot of steps 1-4:
Check it out:

It would also be a good idea to watch this OFFICIAL XDA video as its designed specifically for this situation!

Beginning to give up !!

Hi,
I am seriously beginning to give up on install Android on my HTC HD2 U.K. T mobile.
I have installed a ROM before via a video but every time I try to find a ROM I like it seems different to install than the previous one.
I have no idea where to begin and keep losing the will to keep my HTC HD2.
I really like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250703
But no idea where top begin.
On the site I see this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download:
Magldr version:
- EU: MIRROR 1 - MIRROR 2 (CWR: 5/195/5 + EXT2/3/4)
- Tmous: MIRROR 1 - MIRROR 2 (CWR: 5/440/5)
cLK version
- Flash the Magldr versions, don't reboot, flash any kernel cLK you want, reboot
Eu version supported APP2SD so it will AUTO REBOOT 2 times ! It's NORMAN !
Note: turn OFF steoreo when record video !
CAMERA, CAMCORDER fix:
- EU: http://ul.to/0j6jwbvy
- Tmous: http://ul.to/oz4jm1a5
Kernels for Bliss ONLY !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do I download the eu version? And do I need to download Magldr or CLk ?
And how do I install the Camera/Camcorder fix?
if your phone is not a tmous(usa) hd2 you must download eu version.
using mgldr is easier, so i recommend flashing mgldr.
in order to flash any fixes, you must run the rom successfully first.
in oder to flash this rom with an eu-hd2 you must have 1gb or 2gb sd-ext partition.

Thanks for pointing that out. Which roms do you recommend? And where's the best place to find them?

good choice. i have been using it recently.
now download it.
i assume you flashed mgldr.
now in mgldr go to usb flasher.be sure you see usb flasher.....usb in screen
in nand toolkit choose mgldr repartition (at left top)
choose 400mb partition size(at left)
write 4 instead of 45 as cache size
click repartition at right bottom.so you'll have repartitioned your nand.
when you come to this stage write here, we'll have only a few steps to finish.

I have not done the steps as I just wanted to know if I didn't like the rom for some reason and wanted to go back to Custom Stock rom would I just Flash and download from HTC and install?

i've never done this but it's possible (i think you will not).
now in mgldr menu go to ad recovery-advanced-partition sd card-1024-0
(so you'll have an sd-ext partition of 1gb which is necessary for this and many other roms)
then in mgldr menu (you can go to this menu by rebooting or pulling out battery) go ad recovery-mounts and storage-mount usb storage-when pc sees phone, send rom to phone
now go to mgldr menu-ad recovery-install zip from sd-choose zip from sd-find your rom and choose with call button-after installation is complete reboot phone-after approximately 20 minutes the phone will be ready.
when done write here i will have some suggestions to improve the rom.
Hey thanks for breaking it down. I kept getting confused around CWM. None of the other guides helped much. Finally got a custom Android ROM installed.
Exelent assistance mutil, but why don't u recommend to install on SD.... Its more easy and less trouble...
Although this might help others with same conflict...
