[TUT] NAND Android on your HD2

How To Install A NAND Android ROM On Your T-Mobile HD2​
(I am linking to several Original Threads in this tutorial. The "Nice Thing To Do" is hit the "Thanks" button at the bottom of those threads to let the author know we appreciate their help)
mskip wrote an excellent tut over on the Leo forums. I used his instructions to create my own method, which has never given me issues.
My method has been used by others and has a 100% success rate as of this writing.
You MUST be HSPL'd. This is not a joke. If you attempt this method without HSPL, your phone won't boot. I can not help you if you do this. If you have the 3.14 radio, try flashing: this stock ROM before HSPL. Thanks to xmoo for the link! Original thread is here.
Read the following steps. If you're confused, read the explanations below.
(Preparing)
Folder: Create a new folder on your Desktop. I named mine Flash. Put all downloads here.
HSPL: Cotulla's HSPL 3 is located here. (Original thread is here)
Task29: Download the Task29.exe program located here. Unzip it to a new folder. Replace the RUU_Signed.nbh file with your favorite radio. I use 2.15.50.14 (Original thread is here)
MAGLDR: Get MAGLDR 1.11 (or the latest version!) located here. Unzip this to a new folder.
ROM: Visit HD2 NAND Android Development thread here on XDA and download your new ROM. I am currently using this one, but will probably have a different one tomorrow Unzip this to a new folder.
SD Card: Back up everything you want to keep from your SD card, and then format it. Hint: dcim is where your pictures are stored (File System: Fat32, Allocation unit size: 16 kilobytes) Personally, I like to uncheck the "Quick format"; it takes up to an hour but ensures my card is in the best shape possible. Once your format is complete, you may replace your backed up files.
(Flashing)
(*Optional: Remove your SD and SIM cards, if you are paranoid, like me )
Connect your phone via USB to the PC and wait for any drivers to install.
Task29: Navigate to the Task29 folder and right-click on task29.exe and "Run as administrator". Your phone will reboot to the initial flash screen. You will have to reset to Bootloader.
Wait for your PC to update the drivers again.
MAGLDR: Navigate to the MAGDLR folder and right-click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and "Run as administrator". Your phone will reboot to a new boot screen.
Wait for your PC to update the drivers again.
You should be booted to the new MAGLDR screen and see a series of options. Use your volume rocker to highlight "USB Flash" and press the green call button to select it.
Wait for your PC to update the drivers again.
ROM: Navigate to your new ROM folder and right-click DAF.exe and "Run as administrator".
Congratulations! When your phone reboots, it should start MAGLDR which will immediately boot your new Android NAND ROM!
Now, here are the details about the above instructions. You should only need them if you are confused.
(Preparing)
I use this to keep myself organized. I own several HTC phones and flash them all, so keeping things separate is a must for me.
Having a Hard Secondary Program Loader is a must for any NAND flash, whether it be Windows Mobile or Android. This will void your T-Mobile warranty, but can be fixed by flashing a Stock T-Mobile ROM via your microSD card. Check my sig for the tutorial link on how to do that.
This is the easiest method to do a task 29. The other is using mtty, which is beyond the scope of this tutorial. Task29 completely erases the existing files and partitions, preventing any loose data bits from causing issues with a new flash. You should always Task29 between NAND ROMs.
MAGLDR: A group of devs have been working on a NAND loader for some time and Cotulla and the Dark Forces Team (DAF) were the first to release a working loader. There may be more to come in the future, but this is the first (and has Tetris built in )
You should never ask the "best ROM for my phone" question. Every chef works hard on their build and considers it the best. Every user has their favorite chef and considers them the best. You should shop around to find the one that fits you best.
I consider formatting the SD card a must if I have any data written to it by a ROM. If you have installed Android to your card, you definitely want to do this!
(Flashing)
Your phone will boot into several different modes throughout the process. Each mode may require separate drives for WMDC to talk to it.
To reset to your bootloader, pull the battery and replace it. Hold down the "Volume Down" rocker and press the power (End Call) button. The phone should boot up to the tri-color screen. If it did not, keep trying!
Your PC may not need to search for drivers at this point, but wait and see anyway, just in case
MAGDLR will work as your new bootloader, but you can always access the original tri-color bootloader if you need to.
Don't worry if you get the missing "ADB" driver warning here. Only PCs with the Android SDK properly installed will have this driver.
You must flash your new ROM from the #4 screen via USB. It is the only way and the tri-color Bootloader method won't work here.
Again, you can ignore the missing "ADB" driver if it occurs. See above x2 for explanation.
Some chefs are renaming "DAF.exe" to "Install.exe" or "ANDR_INSTALL.exe". No matter what it's named, it should be the blue icon. See your ROM thread for detailed installation instructions if you get confused here.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the plethora of information. In this case, it wasn't needed but most of the time it is
Error 262 means there is a link error between your phone and the PC. Some have solved this by re-installing ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. Some people said it was solved by simply unplugging the phone and trying a different USB port or cable.

After installing android rom in nand, device continously reboots
I followed all your steps and installed everything (there war an error encountered while installing the rom in the last step) but when my phone boots into android, after about a minute it will just restart itself and continue the same over and over without ever fully going into android.
can you please tell me how to get over this?

It looks like the Android build you chose is either incompatible or was somehow corrupted when you downloaded it.
I suggest you delete the copy you have on your PC and download a different ROM, and then start over again.
Since there was an error, you don't want to try a fresh install without a task 29 and reinstalling hspl.
If you are using the Euro version of the HD2, don't try to install a TMOUS ROM, and vice versa. If you aren't sure, ask the chef who posted the ROM you want.
Hope this helps!

Radio Version
2.07.50.27_2
I think that the RADIO has to be 2.08.50.xx or a .50 greater.

One thing that was specified but not in the steps was HSPL. If you don't have that, you can't flash.

After having a bit of problem using the original tut you reference in your first post(basically it got locked on gogogo and a variety of problems thereafter), I am very happy to report that your variation on the method not only worked for me, but worked on the first attempt. And it has thus far done so each time I have tried it since. You cannot imagine my relief after all the frustration I had previously. So just wanted to let you know how helpful I found your post. Thanks!
The only edit I would suggest is that I believe USB Flashing is option 5 now instead of 4.
FWIW I was originally on ROM 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE with Radio 2.10.50.26(now on 2.14.50.04).

I just tried a fresh download of MAGLDR 1.11 and the option is still #4. Did you perchance grab version 1.12?
It would still work, but 1.12 gives you the additional option of installing and Windows 7 Phone ROM.

Yes on MAGLDR the option is 5 instead of 4.
Other than that, and the part about removing your sim and SD card, looks like an excellent guide.

I am updating the tutorial to reflect on the changing menu numbers, thank you!
As far as the SIM and SD card removal, I did mention that this is optional but recommended. Yes, I realize that this is from the early days of flashing and is more than likely not needed, but in my defense this is my own method and I have never, ever had a bad flash. I've owned several HTC phones going back for a few years now and have not bricked a single one. I would consider that a pretty good track record, considering the number of posters who did brick their phone and have no idea what went wrong.
In light of your input, I will re-word the OT to ensure that the "optional" part is clarified.

Oh I totally hear ya.
I've never had a bad flash either. I think that some of the "Brickensteins" just do something wrong and don't mention it (like unplugging the phone mid-flash).
In your favor, I did read in one of the WP7 tutorials that the sd card should be removed, but since I don't plan on flashing that any time soon, I'll leave that wisdom with wiser hands

Thank you very much

Ok do this hold the volume button down while powering on your HD2 and see if the multicolor bootloader screen comes up. If so you are not fubared. If you get bootloader you can save your HD2. Click on my Guide linked in my sig and read it then click the links at the top of my guide if you want to install Android or the link for WP7 if you want to install it. The links I have at the top of my guide are links to very good and extensive guide. If you want come post back here and I or others will help you and if you want to just PM me.

Please Help me...

You are using MAGLDR 1.13, not 1.11. On 1.13 (not covered by this tutorial), you have to choose "ROMUpdateUtility.exe", not "DAF.exe".

[Q] struck at white screen while installing ANDROID

hello, I was trying to put the android on my phone with the attached files but landed in a very awkward situation. my phone is not going ahead from the white screen saying HTC.
It seems that I don't have the operating system in it. as earlier when the white screen turns up i got the rom version number which i am not getting it right now.
moreover when i try to flash the original ROM iti not taking the current and updated rom version number just an empty space. can anyone help me regarding this issue.
i am unable to upload the android file as it's size increases the lotted size, it's name is DFT LEO NAND ANDROID.
I IWLL BE VERY THANKFUL TO PERSON WHO RESOLVED MY PROBLEM.....PLEASE HELP ME

Firstly, you have posted this in the wrong thread.
Secondly, don't worry, your phone is ok.
Thirdly, the information you need is in this thread. Read it carefully.

Are you sure that you installed the radio and that you did this after installing hspl? Your bootloader screen shows that you have 2.08.hspl, which is correct and you have the attachment for the correct radio. I suggest going back to bootloader and reflashing the radio (just to be sure). Which magldr version did you install and did you install it as Administrator? You should use magldr 1.11. After installing magldr, the phone should boot into the magldr boot menu. You can read the full step by step process here.

yeah i noticed after you said... anyway now it is posted and what can i do

need help
when i am trying to flash the rom after downloading it from the thread you mentioned I am getting the screen attached below as an attachment. is it right

Well, since you ask, go and read what they pointed you to.
In 90% of the cases it is a small mistake from our part that leads to these problems,
so even if you think you did everithing as iot was supposed to be, read again and reflash everything.
There is this new and verry good installer here - it can do everything you need, it's LeoAdvancedRUU 1.0.4 - search the forum for the thread.

need help
thanks for the help lms1407.
after going to reflash of my memory i will tell u what i have done step by step. i iwill make sure i will not miss a single step.
1.download all the files ....HSPL,ROM AND ANDROID ROM.
2. FLASH THE HSPL WHILE IN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT. PUT THE PHONE IN THE BOOTLOADER AND FLASH THE HSPL WHILE CONNECTED THROUGH USB.
3. NOW WHILE TRYING FLASH THE ROM IT SAYS THT IT WILL TAKE 10 MINUTES TO DO THAT BUT MINE ONE JUST COMPLETED IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. I MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE SCREENSAVERS ARE NOT DISABLED AND WAS CONTINUOUSLY WATCHING THE PROCESS.
THIS IS A TIME WHEN PROBLEMS STARTS. AFTER THAT WHEN I TRIED TO REBOOT IT STRUCK IN THE WHITE SCREEN HAVING HTC LOGO. THEN AGAIN I TRIED TO FLASH THE ROM WITH SAME VERSION BUT THIS TIME THE CURRENT AN D UPDATED VERSION NUMBER WAS NOT COMING UP OVER WHERE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. I AGAIN CLICK NEXT AND FLASH THE ROM. AFTER THAT ALSO MY PHONE IS STILL ON THE WHITE SCREEN WITH HTC WRITTEN AT THE CENTRE.
4. I TRIED TO INSTALL THE DFT ANDROID BUT WAS GETTING AN ERROR. FILE ATACHED.
AFTER THIS I AM UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. THESE ARE THE STEPS IN DETAIL WHICH I HAVE FOLLOWED OR HAD DONE WHILE INSTALLING THE ANDROID.
CAN U PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I HAVE DONE WRONG AND WHERE I MADE A MISTAKE.

Both myself and nobnut referred you to the guide for how to do this. Please read and follow those steps.
Exactly what stage are you at? You mention trying to flash hspl and then the next minute you speak about flashing the rom, what about all of the steps in between?
1. Flash HSPL - 2.08.hspl (check bootloader to ensure it shows 2.08.hspl and not 2.08.0000)
2. Flash radio 2.08.50 or higher .50 radio
3. Install magldr 1.11 (Run as Administrator)
4. In magldr go to option 4: Usb flasher
5. Let usb drivers install
5. When screen shows Wait USB......USB, then AND ONLY THEN flash the rom (again as Administrator).

You really need to read the instructions I linked to in post 2.
Step 1 - Stop using CAPS!!!
Step 2 - Read the instructions posted
Step 3 - Boot into Bootloader by holding the volume down button while you power on
Step 4 - Flash this Radio (version 2.15.50.14**)
Step 5 - Flash MAGLDR (see instructions linked to in post number 2)
Step 6 - Flash your desired Android ROM
Step 7 - Read the instructions

Don't write with caps on, please!
Did you flash radio again? Just in case....
First of all, after flashing hspl you have to go in bootloader and then try to flash Magldr 1.11 and then go in magldr by holding the power button while magldr menu shows!
Then choose usb flasher - number 4 in the menu - select with left hard button - then when it say usb... you have to connect the usb cable
and then open the directory on your computer, where the actual android rom is
- important -
unpack the original archive that you downloaded, dont reuse the same directory, because some files might be missing!

first no caps........thanks
second by rom i mean radio my mistake i apologize for it...
third at the start of this thread i have uploaded the files and screen shot which i have used and getting problem respectively.
fourth can i start from the beginning because when i start doing that i am not getting the version number which i am using in the screen as attached earlier. is it alright?
fifth i want my phone back guys you are great people help me in this matter.

Your picture is so small and blurry that nothing can be seen on it.
As long as you can still get into bootloader you can still do the steps. Just follow them.

yes i flashed the radio twice.
i am now understanding the things. first step is fine but when i am flashing the magldr after that a reboot is normal or not. because i am facing reboot and wite screen with htc logo and nothing else.

guys u rock.... u are trying to help me.... i appreciate that. thanks i am also trying my best to overcome this issue and understand where i have made a mistake.
sorry for the small pic as i was trying to compress it. can u please open this pic in paint. i am sure u can see it clearly. sorry for this

Rather than keep on referring us to pictures that are so small that I can't see Jack, just tell us what the problem/error message is. Are you getting the USB init failure 723 error? Are you running XP? Read post #2 in the links from above, or else click on the FAQ link in my signature

Stop...
I think I understand where you have 'gone wrong'...
Basically, after you flash MAGLDR, the phone will reboot. This is normal BUT you don't have a ROM flashed to boot into at this point so the phone will just hang. Download the Android ROM you want and follow these steps. But only if you are sure you have flashed a Radio:
Pull the battery out of your phone and put it back in.
Press and hold the power button until you see the MAGLDR menu appear.
Then select 'USB Flasher' using the volume button.
Then press the left hand button (send button).
Then plug in your USB cable.
Then flash your Android ROM as Administrator.
The phone will then reboot into Android and you should be ok. (It might take a long time to boot - be patient).

Not if you've already flashed, the winmo rom is no longer there and all data is gone. the only way back to winmo is to flash a new rom.

Wsod htc hd2

Before I start I googled and tried methods I could and all failed.
My phone was working Link Hereperfect with no issues I had installed the DFT LEO Stock Desire NAND Rom.
A week ago it died and I charged it and powered it back up and got the white screen. It wouldnt go away until I pushed the yellow button on the back. Problem solve I would think.
Two days ago on my way to San Francisco it restarted and turned white. I tried all methods I found here and google none work. when I hold the down vol button I do get the 3 color screen and thats it. I attached an picture of what my phone says.

bump for what? You are just stating what happened to your phone.

My boys hd2 did this too... I plan on doing some extensive trouble shooting later this week so ill try to help you out if I can get it fixed. I guess, bottom line is, if you want android, buy an android device. ;-P
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

help us to help you
@jose makalolot
I like your answer... full of sense
@isaiah33
Do you realize that you didn't ask anything?
Do you post these nice explanations to inform us that stopping a device by removing suddenly its power supply is not good?
Then ok, thanks. Ask for a sticky.
@crx4xharder
If you're boy's phone can only boot in the first level loader... I think a week-end if long enough to make extensive trouble shooting
Ok, I agree I'm not nice... it's just to make you realize that if you want to ask someting... then ask, no need to make us imagine the question you may want someone to answer.

My question is how do I get this fixed? How do I get android back up and running. I want to get rid of this white screen.

What was the version of MAGLDR you had anyway? The ROM you are/were running is outdated by today's standards anyway.
I would do a task29 and start over. Then flash MAGLDR 1.3, CWM 1.3 and then a new ROM.

If you get bootloader simply flash a stock WM rom or MAGLDR, whats hard about that?

i tried flashing with task29 but it sticks at 0%

Do not use task29 for your problem. Fortunatly it doesn't "clear" the first level bootloader.
Press the vol-down key.
In boot loader, flash:
a/ a WM6 ROM (to do this you can just put a LEOIMG.nhh on the root of your SD)
b/ MAGLDR (the version you need for the build you want)
If you want to put a DFT build. In MAGLDR (so press "end call" and start the phone... keep end call pressed) choose the option "USB flasher" (something like this.
With DFT (in admin) flash:
a/ a DFT build
b/ CWM
If CWM, boot in MAGLDR, choose "AD Recovery" (for CWM 1.13)
In CWM choose the option to flash a zip build.
That's all... good question, good answer.
All what I said if well expained in diffferent sticky. You will find there a lot of step-by-step or video explanations.
Hope this helps.

He doesn't need to clear the first-level bootloader. You can see from his screenshots that he gets into the bootloader just fine. Task29 will format the NAND storage just as flashing a WinMo ROM does. The RUU does a task29 as part of the flashing process anyway. Doing just a task29 saves the time of flashing the ROM.
Either way, you don't "flash" task29. You run the command via mtty. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying when you "flash" task29 and it stayed at 0%.

What was the meaning of my "Fortunatly"
Clear the first level... brick the phone.
So for you task29 is equivalent to flashing a WM?
With or without radio?
(real question, I really don't know exactly what it's doing...)
I know that it "cleans" the NAND but it's not enough for me.
Anyway, I realize it will be better for me to read the dedicated thread or search on google.
For him I keep my advice to do all (task29, full flash from the beggining including WM). It's useless normally but as he has a problem...

Digital Outcast said:
He doesn't need to clear the first-level bootloader. You can see from his screenshots that he gets into the bootloader just fine. Task29 will format the NAND storage just as flashing a WinMo ROM does. The RUU does a task29 as part of the flashing process anyway. Doing just a task29 saves the time of flashing the ROM.
Either way, you don't "flash" task29. You run the command via mtty. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying when you "flash" task29 and it stayed at 0%.

For HD2 "mtty" is not required, there is a task29 nbh.

truc007 said:
Do not use task29 for your problem. Fortunatly it doesn't "clear" the first level bootloader.
Press the vol-down key.
In boot loader, flash:
a/ a WM6 ROM (to do this you can just put a LEOIMG.nhh on the root of your SD)
b/ MAGLDR (the version you need for the build you want)
If you want to put a DFT build. In MAGLDR (so press "end call" and start the phone... keep end call pressed) choose the option "USB flasher" (something like this.
With DFT (in admin) flash:
a/ a DFT build
b/ CWM
If CWM, boot in MAGLDR, choose "AD Recovery" (for CWM 1.13)
In CWM choose the option to flash a zip build.
That's all... good question, good answer.
All what I said if well expained in diffferent sticky. You will find there a lot of step-by-step or video explanations.
Hope this helps.

I tried updating the stock rom and it has a issue when it comes to the radio it says Radio Fail. This is the right rom I downloaded it off the tmobile website. I dont know why its failing. If you could help truc007 I am willing to help donate to you if I ge it working.

I couldnt flash the task29 so I ran the commands in mtty and flashed a rom and booted, still wsod...

Just flash back to the original ROM, then update radio, install magldr.

Before I start I googled and tried methods I could and all failed.
My phone was working Link Hereperfect with no issues I had installed the DFT LEO Stock Desire NAND Rom.
A week ago it died and I charged it and powered it back up and got the white screen. It wouldnt go away until I pushed the yellow button on the back. Problem solve I would think.
Two days ago on my way to San Francisco it restarted and turned white. I tried all methods I found here and google none work. when I hold the down vol button I do get the 3 color screen and thats it. I attached an picture of what my phone says.

I saw a few people asking on how to install WP7 on their HD2 and thought I will try to help out by giving a short guide with links for those that struggle to find all the different information. Please make sure that you read the installation instructions for the ROM you wish to install as this does not replace those...its ONLY meant to help those looking for information. Also read the information in each link posted for each step. Please feel free to add any corrections, installation tips etc into this thread.
CREDITS
I would like to mention that everything you read in this post is just gathering of information from other threads and that the credit is not due to me BUT to those people that put in a lot of effort to make all this possible to us. When you thank people...thank those in the threads listed below as they are the ones deserving the credit. Also thanks to XDA for making all this possible to us the community and for running well organized forums...your efforts are appreciated.
WARNING
· When installing WP7 your SD Card will be formatted during the installation process. Please make sure that you have made a backup of your SD Card prior to installing.
· When installing WP7 your phones warranty will no longer be valid.
· Please know there is a risk of bricking your phone...however the risk is very slim, but its there.
Steps of installation
1) Install HSPL2
2) Install Radio (2.14.40.04)
3) Install MagLDR (Ver 1.12 or Ver 1.13)
4) Install WP7 ROM
5) Install Zune
6) Install WP7 SDK
7) Install XAP's
8) Video
9) Additional Information
10) Trouble Shooting
Step 1 – Install HSPL2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
To check your HSPL version hold the volume down button...press the power button (red phone button at bottom left) till phone reboots.
· You need HSPL2.08 or higher
If you have to downgrade your SPL version in order to get to HSPL2.08 have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898128 and at the bottom you will see a post explaining a bit more with this link to ROM's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
Step 2 – Install Radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Make sure you read up on the radio's and that the radio you select will work on your phone. Example...don't use a USA radio (1024 ROM) for a 512 (ROM).
· Get Radio (I used Leo_RADIO_2.14.50.02)
· Reboot Phone – press volume down button to enter boot loader
· Run CustomRUU (From Radio folder on PC)
· Follow instructions on PC screen
· You will notice on phone and PC that its installing
Step 3 – Install MagLDR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893618
· You need MagLDR 1.12 or higher
· Reboot Phone – press volume down button to enter boot loader
· Run ROMUpdateUtility (From MagLDR folder on PC)
· Follow instructions on PC screen
· You will notice on phone and PC that its installing (It might wait a bit on 96% but don’t worry about that its normal)
· Boot into MagLDR by holding power button down
Step 4 - Install WP7 ROM
I would recommend to install one of the ROM’s that has already unlocked your phone as it will ease your process. Choose a ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=977
You need installed MAGLDR 1.12 or higher (Done in Step 3)
· Enter MAGLDR loader by pressing and holding the "Power button" if you aren’t already in it (End of Step 3).
· Choose point 5 - "USB Flasher" then press Green button
· Run DWI.exe (Vista/ W7 user should do that with administrator rights)
· Done, you have WP7 ROM on your device
Step 5 – Install Zune
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/B/4/5B41E996-7CC5-400B-802C-69FBB3B492EF/ZunePackage47.exe
Step 6 – Install WP7 SDK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920275
For installing the WP7 SDK on XP Scroll down to Basingwas post…its the 5th one in that thread…it worked for me on XP.
Step 7 – Install XAP’s
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860964
and a list of some Xap files here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920845
Video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nac3Fnf-lY4
Watch this video if you are unsure what to do. Also the video doesn’t cover step 1 above which is needed. (HSPL2.08)
Additional Information
· Not all SD cards work well with WP7 and if you run into weird problem it might be that your SD card is not fully compatible with WP7. Try replacing it and see if it helps. It might be useful to read the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914780
· Please make sure you read the HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A thread by mskip as a lot of valuable information is available in the links he provided.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=987
Trouble Shooting
After step 3, my phone is stuck on HTC logo, I cannot go into MALGDR at all
· Make sure that HSPL2.08 is flashed or HSPL3 with 2.08 flashed
· Make sure you have the correct Radio installed by flashing the Radio again.
When Running DWI.exe it says error, USB Failed.

Yes its a good thread, already sent a couple of newies there.

Thanks...I just thought seeing that so many people helped out with information I could give a bit back by trying to help others with some of the information consolidated in one place helping others.

Does radio 2.12.xx etc support 576RAM? Since this radio is somewhat best for battery life and reception in the UK i've heard?

Yes, I have used the 2.12.xx Radio as well and it should work fine.

Also after step 3, my phone is stuck on HTC logo, I cannot go into MALGDR at all :\?
Any help?

Try pulling out our USB cable and see if it gets past it. If not try reflashing Magldr...but USB cable still plugged in might stop you at the HTC screen while booting the phone...happened with me once. Let me know...

Still not working :\, I reflashed MAGLDR but it still stuck on HTC logo with white background. I tried removing usb etc as well. !!

Which Magldr did you use...and maybe try another radio. I used the 2.15 radio on installaton and after that flashed the 2.12 and then 2.14. Maybe see what happens if you use the 2.15 radio and flash magldr again after that.

Quick question...did you boot into Magldr by holding the power button down and keeping it in when powering up? Meaning...does that part work to get you into Magldr...

I could't get into MAGDLR at all. After it finishes flashing it gets stuck on HTC Logo. I took battery out waited 30 seconds, then tried going into MAGLDR but it goes straight into HTC Logo.
So far i've reflashed 2.15.xx, then flashed ROMUltility.exe etc and its still stuck on HTC Logo? Have I bricked my phone :O???
I used MAGLDR 1.13, the weird thing is that when I flash, it goes straight to 100% really quick, instead of getting stuck at 96% that you mentioned.
Please help me out xP
EDIT: Problem solved, I installed HSPL2 and flashed a 1.42. I needed to install HSPL3 and flash 2.08. My bad haha! Its all good now, downloading WP7 ROMs now ! mwhahahah

Great...glad you got it solved...was about to ask about HSPL

[Q] Trying to upgrade to window mobile 7

Here is my story. I have a HTC HD2 and I wanted to upgrade it to Windows mobile 7. I tried last week when I had a bit of time but failed. I follow a web site that gave very clear instructions and links to the necessary software. There were 4 steps with 4 different downloads and I did them in the order they were listed. 1st I downloaded and installed Hard SPL with no problem. Next I downloaded and installed Radio which supports 576 MB RAM with no problem. Next I downloaded and installed MAGLDR 1.3 with no problem. Now came the problem. There was no place to find the windows mobile 7 OS download. I look everywhere and finally gave up. In frustration I tried to load a version of android which didn't work and left the phone inoperable. That was last week.
Starting today I found a bit of software (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship) and I ran this and it put my phone back to windows 6.5. Yahoo! After this I think I've managed to find a copy of Windows7 mango and download it to my laptop. So I was off again. I downloaded a copy of HSPL4 and upgraded the HD2 to SPL-2.08.0000. Next I downloaded Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 but when I put the hd2 into booter mode (the multi coloured screen) and connect the usb cable and ran the software I couldn't get it to load. The screen goes from Serial to usb, the software runs, the screen of the HD2 changes to the loading bar but it just stays on Zero percent. I eventually get a error result and I disconnect the usb cable and that's as far as I get. Can any one help me. I'd love to get windows 7 up and running on this old handset but I have to say I losing patience. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello,
First off sounds like you were on the right track.
Spl ... Make sure your spl says Hspl 2.08 without the H at the beginning you will get nowhere fast!
Ok so you have your Hspl, next install magldr (through the tricolor screen) check? Good!
Now after magldr is installed reboot phone and hold down the power/endcall button until you get the magldr menu to come up (usually no more than 10 seconds at most). Now using the volume buttons scroll down to USB flasher (option 5 if mind serves correct). It will say USB ... Usb connect. After that then you will run the DAF.exe to install and all will be done in anywhere from 5-15 minutes.
I think ... THINK from the way I read you were trying to run the DAF.exe from the tricolor and there in lies your problem (if I'm correct)
Hope this helps cheers.

Before setting to flash mode ...scroll down to "services" and select (left hand button on HD2). Then scroll down to "clear SD MBR" press left hand button to select then then press again to confirm.
Do the same for "uselast24nand"
Now back at the main MAGLDR select 5.USB flasher

this is what i did & it ran smoothly
- HSPL 2.08
- Task 29
- Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
- MagLDR
- MagLDR Repartition 300/ 45
- Magldr
- Service
- Clear SD MBR
- uselast24NAND
- USB Flaser
- Flash WP
- Done!
if still the error persist try replacing the SD card coz mine had a problem with Trancend's 16gig card.

getting nowhere fast
1st off I want to thank everyone for their input. I'm a little new at this so I don't really know what I'm doing. There was 3 replies to my post. The 2nd two made almost no sense to me so if everyone doesn't mind I'll concentrate on the 1st post. But even there I wont get very far but at least there is a start there. As I said in my post I loaded HSPL4 and that part seemed to go alright. But it was when I tried to load the Radio thing and Magldr is where things went arye. As I said "Next I downloaded Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 but when I put the hd2 into booter mode (the multi coloured screen) and connect the usb cable and ran the software I couldn't get it to load. The screen goes from Serial to usb, the software runs, the screen of the HD2 changes to the loading bar but it just stays on Zero percent" I CANT LOAD RADIO 2.15 OR MADLDR! But you say if I haven't got the H before SPL then I wont get very far.....well I don't have an H before the SPL. And why don't I? If I loaded HSPL4 via the booter screen (multi coloured screen) why have I got SPL-2.08.0000 on my phone and not HSPL-2.08.0000? And more importantly, how do I get it?
I have now spent two full days trying to load windows mobile 7 on this phone and all I've done is go backwards! I'm the 1st to admit that I'm not very conversant with the ins and outs of these sorts of thing but I am a reasonably intelligent person, reasonably intelligent and very frustrated.

hi is it English.The Windows Phone7

still trying
Somehow or other, I managed (don't ask) to load the radio and magldr. I found a copy of DFT leo 70. I went through all the steps only to be told the Leo70 wouldn't load (Something about the bootloader). I have run that RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship and put the phone back to window 6.5. At least I can still use it. I'm will to have one more try if someone is willing to help. As of now, when I put it in Bootloader mode (the multi coloured screen) the screen says
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.000 HSPL 8G XE
0x05
Cotu11ahspl 0x30
Does that sound like a good place to start from? If so, I'd love to know where I'm going wrong from there. Any ideas? Thanks

Perfect!
that's what you need to get started!
Now get HD2 Toolkit
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
& try the steps i posted earlier

Hello mengfei.
Thanks for your help. Now I'm going to ask you a question which is either going to tell you how stupid I am or tell you how badly arranged this this forum is. Where exactly is "The HTC toolkit" available for download on the page you gave me the link for? I have gone up and done that page and there is all kinds of info on cLK, magldr and partitions and all sorts of stuff that makes no sense to me (and frankly scares me) but nowhere can I find a link to download a "toolkit". So now I'm asking you questions about where to find the software instead of questions about how to load it! I don't know how anyone finds time to do any of this stuff. Here it is 4 or 5 days later and I'm not one inch closer to making any changes to this phone. From what I had look at, this all seemed like a straight forward bit of work. Hardly! I know this isn't your fault.....but I don't feel it's mine either. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks again.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19931919&postcount=501

Thanks Jonas for the link. I now have the toolkit downloaded on my laptop. Progress!
Now for the rest of the stuff. I've gone back to mengfe post and of course there's a few things that need clarification.
Your list starts with HSPL which we know I have now achieved.
Next is Task 29.....what is this?
Then it's load Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14 which I'm confident I can do.
Then it's load MagLDR which I'm confident I can do.
Next is MagLDR Repartition 300/ 45. No idea what this is or how to achieve it. Help please. Thanks
Then it's
- Magldr
- Service
- Clear SD MBR
- uselast24NAND
- USB Flaser
- Flash WP
- Done!
Which I, kind of, understand except where does the "toolkit" come into it?
Thanks again for everyone's help and I look forward the next postings. I'll be honest with everyone, I don't believe for a moment that I'll ever get anything but WM6.5 on this phone (in fact that's probably the best case scenario....if I don't brick this phone completely I'll be total surprise) but if nothing, I am tenacious. BRING IT ON!

Alright
Hspl 2.08 - check!
MagLDR - check!
. NO NEED TO TASK 29 (Because it is recommended to come from winmo 6.x anyway)
Since you came from winmo with radio 2.15.bla bla no need to reflash this!
- Magldr Menu (holding power when booting)
- Service
. - Clear SD MBR
- uselast24NAND
- USB Flaser
- Flash WP7 DAF.exe
BE PATIENT!
after first boot setup (just skip it) you will need to reset the phone (like you would restore any phone if someone gave it to you and you wanted to clear their preference, contacts, etc)
There are 2 ways
1 the easiest - settings
. about phone
. more information
. reset
2 hold both volume up/down together when booting (all the way through go go go) next, (grey screen blue writing) then press volume down, phone reboots
Set up live service ls for market, customize, and enjoy =D

What OS are you using ??
If WIN 7 then remember when running DAF or DWI exe's to right click and select "run as administrator"
Just double clicking it doesn't work

Thanks again everyone for your help. BUT....I have to admit to more then a bit of frustration. Why am I ask to download something call a "toolkit" and the nothing is mentioned about loading it on the phone? I'm going to follow what rubledub has posted and see how I get on but I'm not feeling very confident. Here we go...wish me luck.
On another issue. What is the normal way to get back to the posts one has posted here?

"run as administrator" That was the difference! I now have WM7 working on my HD2. YAHOO! Thanks everyone.

Hey again =D
1 the toolkit contains an all in one place to flash (task29 - pretty much reformat/wipe NAND, flash mag/clk loaders, partition CWM - recovery for android) but since you went about getting all this done separately there is no need for it. We were just pointing you in the direction of one single place to come by these files so as to make this a little more easier.
2 to get to any post you started yourself, anything you have commented on, or even posts users have thanked you on - log into XDA, then go back to the top of the page and right under the search box where it says "find your device" you will see you user name in yellow, click that and then you will see your public profile that will list you with the options I mentioned at the beginning of 2 here.
Sorry not to mention running as admin in windows 7 (kind of thought that would go without saying but then again you can't take much for granted when helping someone with anything unfamiliar ... And I use XP =)
CONGRATS MATE!!! I think you know the ones who will have no problems should you ever need to pm with questions or concerns.
