i just got my htc hd2 cause someone stole my old one, on my old one, it was easy 2 put android on the sd, with my new hd2 no rom will work, it loads, but when android turns on it will lag, and apps crash and say force close, and the market wont work, i tried this and mcc's 4.5 and its the same thing happening, what should i do?
Have you tried a full wipe in clockwork and then installed? Do that as your first option and if that doesn't work then Task29, reflash MAGLDR/cLK then clockwork and then your ROM.
im noob, i dunno what clockwork is and how 2 do that? and i never used mgldr/clk on my old hd2, i just did a simple drag and drop onto my sd card, then flashed it, and it always worked fine, now when it works, theres always problems, also, do you know how i can reformat my sd card? ty for help, appriciate it!

If you don't know all that stuff... you should not be trying to root or ROM yet. Go check out T-Macgnolia's post. You shoulld really read up on it before you monkey around with your phone.
Sounds like he's running from the sd card, not NAND. Have you flashed HSPL and radio yet? Please look around the forums. There are some excellent guides to get you started

This will help clarify. Did you load windows first on your old phone before launching android?

Yeah he has all that stuff in his thread. Check down a few posts as he didn't get everything into the first post.
yes i launched w.m first on my old phone, and it always worked i would go to clrcad and haret and it always worked just fine, i used americanandroid, but my new phone when i put android folder on my sd card, it boots, but it lags alot, and forces programs to shut down, wifi is slow etc.

Yeah you need to install HSPL and a new radio. Again, there are several guides on how to do this. Search around a bit. One thing though, if it was me, I would just install on NAND and bypass windows altogether. The guide linked above should tell you all about it and how to do it.

+1 I agree with dung and install NAND.
It's this easy...
I thought I'd post here since I'm having a problem with android install and I'm a noob as well (probably more noob than the person posting here). I tried installing nand android on my HD2 and followed the steps exactly. At least I'm pretty sure I did. I installed MAGDLR, then the recovery, and then android. Everything seems fine when booting except it just hangs at the HTC screen. I left it at the HTC screen over night since I heard the first boot would be long. So now I am wondering what are my options. I wanted to install WM again so I can retry the android rom install but since it stuck at the HTC screen, device manager doesn't see it. I didn't brick it did I? Thanks for your help in advance!
I followed this thread.

Couple things, did you first install HSPL and radio? Those go on before anything else. Second, how did you install the rom? Through usb or through recovery? Lastly, if you flashed via recovery, how did you transfer the zip to sd card? CWM has been known to corrupt files during transfers. I would recommend using a usb card reader or through magldr's usb mount option.
Actually one last thing. Make sure you have selected the correct recovery size. A ROM requiring 150mb will work on a 400mb partiotion, but not the other way around.

It's actually MAGLDR that corrupts files, not clockwork.
It's most likely that you don't have the right partition size though. You can change the partition by going to your clockwork file on your PC, opening it, then look for a file 'flash.cfg' and right click on it and open it in a text editor, then editing the line "system ya | 150" to whatever the ROM needs. The '150' will most likely be 150, 300 and 400 etc. so just change the numbers and save it.
ok i will try and do nand, what is one of the best nand to use, ty so much for help.
Hmm maybe you're right skelly, not sure. Either way it's best to use a card reader.
Fly, I'm using typhoon cm7 version 3.0.0. I found that it's the best for me

I would have always said one of the CM versions... great ROMs. Finally tried MIUI this week in preperation for putting it on my woman's G2 (always thought it looked like a girly ROM). OMG I'm hooked! I don't think I can ever go back to CM again. It's blown me away.
But you cannot go wrong with the popular CM ROMs. I tried the Sense one also for the eyecandy I love... but none of them ran smoothly for me.
To make it quick, I tried to flash a ROM and it obviously didn't work out, so I'm pretty much stuck.
Tried to get back to recovery, but the HD2 always tries to boot the not working ROM.
How can I get back to recovery so I can flash a ROM the right way?
Thanks in advance
Push
Come on, there's gotta be a way to get into recovery to wipe and flash properly...shall I get over the procedure of flashing CWM and this stuff again? Would that get me to recovery again so I can flash a ROM properly?
Otherwise I'm really exhausted and out of ideas...

Start up your device and press and hold the Red Button (end call button) until it loads the MAGLDR. Then choose 8 and load into recovery.
I read something about 7 seconds, but it's starting to boot after estimated 5 seconds.
I'm actually not at home, I'll try it in few hours.
Thanks so far.
Do I need to wipe and then flash? and which ROM can you suggest?
Gesendet von meinem Desire HD mit Tapatalk
Just press and hold the End call button after turning it on.
And yeh, always do a wipe (Wipe Data and Wipe Cache + Dalvik Cache only) if you are going to flash a new rom. But do not delete your SD files like music etc
and i can recommend - HyperDroids CM7 Rom - based on Android 2.3.7 because im using it by myself. Absolutly no problems hereto check the links in my sig.
Have fun!
BTW:
The problem for not booting up might could be a too small Recovery Layout. Most Roms require a 150MB system partition and 5MB cache partition. Just check this out in the Rom's Thread there should be always a info to-
I guess I'm not at that point yet
I just flashed CWM and then flashed a ROM, which was to install via 5. USB Flasher and some sort of installer on PC - before I tried to install a ROM via CMW and that didn't work.
Well, now I have a ROM on it, SU is on it as well but I don't have root access.
Looks like a pretty old ROM. Froyo 2.2 with HTC Sense 2.1.
But my question now is: How to gain root and if I've done that, can I just flash a different rom (for example the one you suggested) via CWM?
I'm happy, that I have Android on it now but I'd like to have Gingerbread.
(The ROM on it is named DFT_Android and is to be installed via an executable DAF.exe while the device is on point 5 USB Flasher)
And if I can't flash ROMs on CWM, is there a newer ROM which is to be installed like my current one?
and by the way: Thank you very much, your solutions made it work for me
I'll try to flash the ROM you named tomorrow with their instruction of a clean installation

First of all the DFT stock leo is an old and outdated ROM with no root access. Android 2.2 with Sense 2.0 is still very fast, just outdated. And the lack of root is the killer for me.
Secondly, CWM is definitely the way forward, you won't be able to do much without it.
Thirdly, which partition size did you use (first time around)? Too small a partition could cause issues (all of which are of course correctable) so you may want want to check this. As said in the post above, many CM7 ROMs require a 150Mb partition.
If you want a full guide which enables you to flash Android via CWM, see this guide
I'm not sure, but I think I took 150mb. Well, if I flash another rom, I'll just make it 150mb, if it isn't
If I flash a ROM via CWM will I have root on it? Stock ROM has Superuser, but obviously not really useful, maybe because it's outdated, iono...
Another thing is that I only have a 1 GB microSD for the HD2.
Would a bigger microSD be recommended?
I see that now on this old stock rom that a bigger microSD would make sense, since I'm very limited in the number of apps I can install.

Although not necessary, I would definitely recommend a bigger MicroSD. I have a 16GB one on which I can store tonnes of apps, as much music as I want (but I still need all of it for when I'm bored) and plenty of other stuff I may want.
As for the root question, you were unfortunate enough to pick the only ROM in the NAND development section to come without root Everything else has root permissions
Those nand roms are mostly using app2sd or data2sd (think sense roms only) which require an ext3 or 4 partition on your sd (this can all be done with cwm). So 512mb ext partition should be fine for lots of apps. So imo 1gb is enough if you dont want to store lots of music, movies, other roms and 900 backuped apps ;d

hd2 wont boot
Can anyone tell me how to get my Tmobile Hd2 into bootloader after task 29, without working volume keys...???
I'm sorry but I cannot think of any other way to get into bootloader other than holding down the volume key after installing android.

Theres really no way unless you can open it up and fix the volume button.
Thanks guys, now I have cyanogen on the hd2 with root...well, battery life sucks, but I really didn't expect something else and since it's not my main smartphone,I can easily live with that

Hello.
After a long time, i want to give a try to another ROM in my phone. However, i have a few questions as the phone wasn't "made" by me.
I bought the phone and it came already with Froyo with Sense installed (Although in hardware info it says it is an HTC Desire.) but very stable
Finally with HTC Super tool i rooted the phone. Everythings seems ok with root checkers and titanium backup.
Now. The phone starts android using MAGLDR, it even had a nice splash screen that sayd android HD2 and after the dark forces splash screen. With this, the ROM is in the phone memory right? Can i load a rom from the SD card and keep Froyo in the phone in case something is wrong? Should i wipe entirely and depend on the backups if something goes wrong?
I'm interested in trying CM7 and MUIU. Should i learn about clk?
any other advice? This will be my first flashing and i really find Froyo very stable, but having this device and not trying something else seems like a waste.
Last in priority... if i would be interesting in trying also WP7 Mango, but keeping Android as my main OS, what are steps to go? need to partition my card or make important decisions before?
Thanks for all the help!
in order to flash mango you have to wipe android from nand.
you can run an android sd build without wiping the present nand build. you can try 3dak's miui rom in sd android section.
if you want to run your hd2 in maximum performance i recommend using hyperdroid cm7 rom in nand android section.
Hi
If your HD2 had Froyo installed, it was more than probably already rooted when you received it
Installing a ROM on your SD card is safe and won't break anything in your phone's memory as long as you follow the installation procedure of your ROM carefully. Make sure that you pick up a ROM in the HD2 Android SD Development forum
Ok. so WP7 will be a no for the moment.
will try then some sd card methods and roms.
Once i find one that i like, i should move it to nand right?
I thought the phone would be rooted since the beggining also, as it even had SU installed, but after trying to use titanium, SU itself, terminal and rootchecker everything said it wasn't. Thought it was funny. Now everything works.
Will pass by SD forum then.
Thanks!
If you want to install the ROM on NAND, you can't install the ROM that you used for SD, you have to find the NAND version of the ROM in the HD2 Android NAND Development
Installing on NAND is quite more difficult when you begin. It's also more dangerous and might brick your phone if you don't take care.
Follow one of the tutorials posted on the forum, you'll have to make familiar with a lot of terms and tools, and it's important that you understand all your actions.
Always make a backup prior to install a new ROM, for this you have to use the Backup/Restore tool of ClockworkMod... your new home
(You start ClockworkMod from MAGLDR - Option "AD Recovery")
Good luck
Thanks for the advices.
I´ve been playing with miui for a few days and so far i like it.
Question.
Right now im playing with my htc sense rom in nand, and miui in sd.
Even if the apps of the htc are in the sd, miui cannot see them. Do i have to redownload and reinstall everything i need for miui?
Specially worried about some apps that were payed...

No just download 'titanium backup' from the Android Market, backup all apps then restore them on the SD build.
I have this HD2 lying around and o though i'd make use of it again but I thought a out installing android on this phone. Now here is the thing after spending a couple of hours on this forum. I can't find a guide anywhere that makes fully sense to me.
I did find a couple of very old guides. But If I compare this to the android version I was kind Looking for.
Basicly any android version would do as long as it includes the 3d effects that I saw on the evo 3d. Hope I could get somewhat of a guidance here.
(1) I think I did find the install files sense of eclipse 1.52 should be a good install or does someone disagree?
(2)What I can't find is haveing a pc mandatory to get android on my hd2 or is it possible without.
Radio 2.15.50.14
HSPL 2.08
MAGLDR 1.13 / cLK 1.5
ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6
1 GB EXT4 partition on SD card for EU HD2
These are the system requirements. It says
(4) the radio and hspl and magldr are they software I install before of after the install with android or how would I use them anyways? Not to clear what is ment with those.
(5) clockworkmod recovery I have read some about it. I have seen it comes after the install of magldr.
(6) partitioning I did get that some software was needed on windows to but there is no way of doing it fully from the phone?
(7) these settings of the nand partitioning. With these settings I presume they mean the internal memory of the phone. But don't you need to do that before installing anything ?
I'm going to leave by this for now. Basiclly I just need to figure out some basics. Usually when I've gotten through it once I usually get which end is up. Just need to get started some bit :what:
Funk in advance

Read all of the guides in my sig (including the new user one), everything should be clear after that. The thing is, you seem to be asking for a 3D ROM which is impossible without the screen technology. If you mean the 3D effects found in Sense 3.0 onwards, just flash a Sense ROM. It'll be slow and won't have HWA but if it's what you want then go for it.
I'm not looking for the 3d screen just the effects. Like the menu turning with you when you turn your screen. And the carousel dat also does the moving towards you. But my one x has sense 4+ but that doesn't have the 3d effect. So I presume that 3.5 was the last version to have the 3d effect?

the htc hd2 tool kit is your best bet it has all you need and sbryan will be releasing his sense 4 rom very soon with hwa why dont you try that
Ok thus far so good your guides did get me pretty far. I got the radio and spl version needed. I also got hspl on there. And magldr Even CW recovery on there. But getting the partitions working was harder I eventually got it working hawing CW to format the sd card. But all the other memory things can't get that working on the phone or the eclipse Rom working. Its booting but with a lot or errors

With a YouTube video I noticed a DFT image being loaded into the phone with daf.exe. I found this image on xda. I used your guides up until loading CWR on the phone. I then used a combo of 2 CWR versions used a system version with settings v3.0.2.4 and replaced the image with a version 5.0.2.6. Still no succes in getting the eclipse Rom working but I did get the DFT image running the same way (combining 2 sets of installers) so its a start. And no need for any sd card on this image. Sending out the thanks for the help so far. Hope I can get the eclipse Rom working eventuelly. Would be great sad enough can't get it done.

I did everything needed. When i use de DFT flasher i finally got a working image file (The DFT desire rom). But i have no CWM available anymore.. When i converted the IMG files from the DFT install to upgrade.zip and installed it. It worked, well the install did. But as soon as i run the phone i get errors. The same kind i got when i started useing the eclipse mod (3.52). Which is weird. Since i cannot locate the problem. why do all these errors keep comming up.
Other then that i was kinda happy with the stock desire rom which runs completely from the HD2 internal memory, but the i tried makeing changes in the system folder and it seems i have no superuser abilities. So why is this? Or do i need to root this standard desire rom and if so. How does that work cause i imagine its different from the way you would root a untouched phone. Weird enough it does show a superuser icons in my list of programs.
Im almost there i need to figure out these minor tweaks to fully enjoy all those nice roms out there.
Hope anyone is out there to get a light shining on it
That's a really old rom and flash method,,thereare no other roms that work that way.it was the original proof of concept .
Find any other rom,findout what popartition size it requires, use the nand toolkit to set that size, which will apply cwm too, thenflash the rom from within cwm.
Here is the problem every flash I do with a rom. I end up getting errors after the boot. I have a 8gb sd card. Formatted to 2048 ext 4 and 128 swap (useing cwm).
For now I'm running the DFT Rom. I edited the install and added the cwm img aswell. So now o can boot CWM to even though useing the DFT Rom. I used CWM to root the DFT Rom. To be honest for now it will do. But I'd love to have some more eye candy. But I can get the toms installed. After installing CWM 3 TIMES with different sizes and useing the CWM to install 3 different roms I get the same error on every install. I assume something goes wrong accessing the ext4 partition on the sd card. But I have no idea.
I suppose there is no 400mb Rom with sense 3 or 3.5 that runs without sd ?

You say that you get the same error each time, but you haven't actually mentioned the error message (as far as I can see). What is the error that you get?
Its the same kind of errors I get from installing the eclipse Rom.
Com.xxxxxxx.xxxxx
Errors. That they stopped for some reason. Xxxxx is Google and phone and all kinds of programs. I just don't understand why flashing with CWM keeps going wrong. But I updated a couple of things and installed su.2.xxxxx.signed.zip and a couple of changes o wrote. With CWM and that all works fine.
I just think that for some reason when booting the first time all those Roma that need ext4 on sd. For some reason can't find them.
