MAGLDR Problem

hi,
MAGLDR doesn't recognize my sd card . i can't use usb mass storage , AD SD => CWM . apparently all the roms i want are released az ZIPs ...
is there a fix for that ?

Are you using magldr 1.13? If so you need to use the new CWM 1.3 partitions which now installs the partition onto NAND, so to use CWM you need to boot into the AD Recovery option from menu and not Boot AD SD. There is also no need to copy files to root of sd card.
There is a problem with magldr usb mass storage, but if you boot to CWM, select mount and storage and the usb storage you can copy perfectly.

hi
my problem is with the bootloader screen. After installing magldr 1.13 i could not start the ppc in bootloader mode. i have tried many key combinations and etc.. but it is still starting with magldr after a short white htc screen. So now i cannot load any official or custom winmo firmware. None of the android nand fw are working. Now i only can use winphone 7 with limited abilities.. Can anyone tell me the way to solve this and go back to original rom?
thanks

When you say you can not start in bootloader, bootloader is started by turning the phone off, holding in the vol down button only and turning on the phone.
The phone should not even get to the white htc screen.
If you get into the tri-colour screen you can get back to a stock rom to start again.

Yes exactly thats what i m doing. But it passes to magldr. I even have reset from the red button at the back but no way to bootloader

@ClydeB1 : so i have to install the new CWM using the USB Flasher and it'll boot from AD Recovery ? thats good news i guess ...
will it let me install ZIP roms ? also i have a 512Leo . why would i (or anyone) want to partition NAND ?!?

Yes, install the appropriate cwm partition by going to usb flasher and running daf.exe. Then the phone will reboot to magldr, select AD recovery and you can then flash zip roms or updates, backup etc etc etc.... I have a 512 device also, so no problems.
I guess one of the reasons for running recovery off NAND is that not all users could get the sd based recovery to work.

I have the same problem here. I tried to return from my NAND Android Builts to a Windows 6.5 ROM. But after Flashing, the reboot got stuck at the logo. I tried flashing over and over again, different WinRoms, reflashed MAGLDR and even tried a combination with HSPL. nothing seems to work. I dont pass the logo, cannot enter MAGLDR or load a normal build. I kinda run out of all my magic. anyone got any suggestions?

What hspl version and radio are you using? To use magldr you need 2.08.hspl and radio 2.08.50.xx or higher .50 radio
I'm not sure why it would hang on reflash to winmo, but let's try get to Android.

Hi!
I am using the SPL 2.08 and When i am installing the MAGLDR111 or MAGLDR113 it's Stop in 0%
How i can install the MAGLDR?

you're using Stock SPL, you need Hard SPL (HSPL)

magldr problem
hi
i was instaling the magldr on my htc hd2, but during the instalation i realise that my VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons are broken and dont work...i have to choose some option in MAGLDR but i cant...so i'm stuck here, my phone boots only MAGLDR even when i restart the phone from the red button, or even when i pull out the batery...is there some option to turn off the magldr, without using the volume buttons? please help me..in the store workers tell me that they cant fix the broken volume buttons...and now i cant use my phone... cheers...

need help pleasee my hd2 screen freezes

i was running imilkas glacier NAND rom and out of nowhere the screen freeze and im trying everything i change roms and nothing. is there a solution for this or i lost my hd2 ?

Huh?
With that little information, it´s not really easy to give hints or tipps.
Sorry, mate, but you should be a bit more generous describing the facts... (MAGLDR version, SPL version, Radio ROM version, etc.)
But then again, yes, sometimes it happens that the screen, the mainboard or whatever fail.

MAGLDR version 1.13, SPL 2.08, Radio 2.15 and is tmobile hd2. and what do you mean by fail that is impossible to make it work again?

And what are you trying to change roms?
Have you tried to flash stock WM via bootloader from SD or via USB?
What happens when you try to flash via MAGLDR?
Please be a bit more descriptive if you expect help from people.

ok im trying to install a stock rom via usb but i cant i boot into magldr usb flasher and it says that i dont have it connected to the pc and i dont now another way to do it and if i turn on the phone i cant pass the lockscreen i dont now what to do. if you need more info please let me know i dont now to much about this. thanks

You dont flash a stock rom using magldr. Flashing a stock rom overwrites magldr so how do you expect to be able to flash via magldr in first place?
To flash a stock rom you need to power phone on while holding volume down, this will put your phone into bootloader.
From bootloader you can flash a stock windows rom via USB or if you have the .nbh file you can rename it to leoimg.nbh and then put it onto root of sd card and then enter bootloader and it will flash to phone.
If you want Android then you have to do it via magldr.

[Q] Can't flash stock rom after flashing MAGLDR

Ok guys please help me since I couldn't find the answer
I installed on my hd2:
-HSPL 2.08
-Radio 2.15.50.14
-Magldr 1.13
-CMR
First of all I noticed that I dont have to hold the power button to get into the magldr menu.
I couldn't get into Boot As SD so I wanted to flash winmo stock rom from bootloader. Unfortunately I can't do that. Even tried HR. Is there any solution to flash stock ROM
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Don't use MAGLDR to flash your ROM. Hold the Volume Down rocker when you turn you phone on to access the bootloader (tri-color screen) and then plug your phone into your computer via USB. You should then be able to flash your stock ROM with no trouble.
Alternative: To go full stock, including going back to the stock SPL, check my signature for a link on flashing via the SD card.

Thank you for you reply After several attempts I managed to get my winmo back on via SD because RUU couldn't see my phone
Two questions: So do I still have MAGLDR and CMR after flashin' that stock rom ?
I can see in the bootloader that I'm back on SPL 3.03. Does that mean that I'm back on warranty and HSPL2 is uninstalled?
Thanks!

Yeah you lose everything. Yeah, if you needed to send it away now, you could as it has stock everything. May I ask, why did you install MAGLDR then not even use it properly? What were you trying to do? Dual boot WP7 & Android?

thanks!
Don't you worry I was doing everything by the book
Maybe you know why MAGLDR was turnin on even when I didn't hold the power button ?

When MAGLDR can't find anything to boot up (no properly installed ROM) it defaults to the same menu you see when holding the power button down.

It's strange cause the ROM was flashed properly, at least I think so. It was working properly...

MAGLDR was probably turning your phone in because it was connected to a power source. This had to be done because there was a bug in the old Magldr where you had to keep pulling out the battery. It doesn't go to the bootloader (HSPL) though. It'll boot up and say kernel failed.
What are you trying to do now, reinstall magldr?

Tried couple times and I didn't manage to install Android using MAGLDR 1.13 and CMR.
Now I'm back to WinMo and done for now with flashing Android. Don't want to have an expensive paper holder.

You probably had the wrong partition size in CWM.
I don't think there is really a way of bricking your phone doing this other than flashing an imcompatible radio. I've never had any trouble with flashing with CWM or MAGLDR. You say in your first post, you were trying to boot SD AD? You know that's not for .zips from CWM? That's for people who want to dual-boot WP7 and Android, you have to boot AD NAND for CWM.

CWM was already prepared by the developer
Oh...I was following the video tutorial and the guy gets into the recovery mod by getting into the SD AD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pxucOLY488
Actually I stuck at that point

That's the old way! There's a new way where you just flash a DFT and you go to AD Recovery in magldr an poof! CWM.
Here's the thread just incase you feel like doing it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
Don't forget to update your HSPL and radio before doing anything though as you're back on sh*tty WinMo.

I will check on it since you're encouraging me not to give up

Ha ha! Yeah, well I like helping people and Android is just a way better OS then WinMo. Any troubles, just post here and I'll try to help.

Thanks mate, really appreciate your help

No problem. So did you get it working yet or what?
PS. don't forget that thanks button if I've helped. ;D

Not today mate, maybe tommorow will let you know
[EDIT] Wait...today is "tommorow" so "maybe later" I'd say
did it already post #12

Nice... You might aswell do it now then... so you can spend tomorrow looking for apps and getting used to Android.

If I wouldn't have to write my MA dissertation, I would have my HD2 running Android by now

Have you tried it yet?
I'm currently having problems with my HD2 too.
Let's hope this stock ROM works.

[Q] How can I boot WM 6.5 After Installing MAGLDR 1.13

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.
Rebooting Android from SD
Android loads at 11000000
From MicroSD
Load zIMAGE
K:\ zIMAGE
SD Kernal Open Failed.
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
BEWARE: complete noob!!!

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?

Issue with an HD2 bootloader!

Okay i have a question, my friend brought me an hd2 phone similar to the one i have. Thing is that he tried to install android on it and im not sure what he did wrong. I can reach MAGLDR when i turn on the phone but it wont boot on android and or reach the bootloader no matter what i do. Question is, is there anyway to flash a bootloader via the usb flasher on MAGLDR or is the phone simply bricked because of that?? By the way yes i have taken the battery out tons of times and tried to turn on with button down and power and even tried the reset button on the back of the phone without luck.

Try only holding the volume down and plugging the phone into a computer. If that doesn't work, you can install different android ROM's through recovery and some old ones even flash through usb flasher. It was probably a bad install and at least it will boot into android when you clean flash a different ROM.

Hey thanks for the fast response. Ok the thing is, that he installed MAGLDR 1.11. And i cant see any option to get into AD recovery. But to be honest ive never used 1.11 before so i dont know if its possible to use cwm with it. Anyways, I tried with 2 different roms via usb flasher but it wont load android. In fact, when i turn it on and it boots everything seems to be fine. After the GO GO GO it will just show the DFT logo and it stays like that. I tried the DLdesire rom earlier and now it wont show the DFT logo but the DLdesire one. But it just stays there and thats it. Like i said, I cant reach the bootloader and im afraid i wont be able to update MAGLDR to 1.13.

That takes me to antoher question. Will MAGLDR work even when maybe he didnt install HSPL? Because the only thing i can think of is that maybe he didnt. Oh well, who knows what was done to that phone . Anyways if someone have gone thru something similar please i need advice.

Hspl and radio must be already correct since magldr starts. The phone would go immediately to the splashscreen and hang there if either were wrong. You wouldn't see magldr at all.
" ad recovery" is only an option in magldr 1.13,, for 1.11 you would find the SD card version of cwm and start it by choosing "ad SD" in magldr.
As for "can't enter bootloader" ( I assume you're doing it right... voldown held, power tap and release) the only time I've seen that fixed was recently when a Guy disconnected the hard key ribbon cable, but that could be a fluke/totally different problem, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Ok so if im getting into MAGLDR it means that even though i cant reach the bootloader i can still flash a rom and it will work. So far i have tried a couple roms via usb flasher and none of them work.

Also, im looking up in google for the SD version of CWM for about an hour now and all i can find is the magldr 1.13 tutorials and stuff like that. Is there a special version of CWM for SD and if so, can someone provide a link on that?

Look for the thread titled something like "clockwork recovery yes/no " (look for the yes/no part especially) there are three versions in there, nand flash, update.zip and SD versions.
As for using USB flasher to flash roms, as far as I know only the first, proof of concept rom uses USB flasher mode,, all the recent roms are flashed from SD card through cwm.

Allright thanks a lot m8! you have been very helpful... happy new year by the way!

Okay, i still have issues with the HD2. I know im doing everything the way its supposed to be, and still when i hit AD sd the phone will do everything fine and even the GO GO GO message but still no recovery at all. If i try to install a sd type rom it will boot up to the Roms splash screen but that is it, it wont go further. What i dont understand is that MAGLDR will work just fine, adn when i flash anything the phone will take it with no errors. But then it wont load the recovery and or specific rom... Any ideas what might be???? Just remember, im not able to boot from the bootloader so im trapped inside MAGLDR.
