[Q] MIUI rom update - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

hello...
Iam running miui 1.7.22. and looking to update to miui 1.8.5.
been search a litle around and are still litle unsecure on how to do this.
Do i just boot into aMAGLDR and go into boot ad sd and pick the rom from the SD card and install ?
just like i did when first installed miui 1.7.22.
Or have i forgoten some steps i need to do?
thanks for all the help ...

Yup that is ok

if you don't use clockworkmod it's ok. if you use cwm go into the recovery and chose install zip from sd.

And just btw you can back up your data using MIUI backup first, then restore everything when you have updated your ROM. If you're using CMR I believe you can just update the ROM without losing your data, but that depends on which MIUI ROM (I think the stock one can only be flashed using magdlr, so if you're using a SD version it must be from the forums?) you're using and it's better to check the individual threads for that particular ROM.

oh i forgot to say that.
Iam not running from sdcard. iam using [ROM] HTC HD2 Leo MIUI.us Presents MIUI 1.8.5 Fastest Version Yet Pure English [AOSP]
called runing from nand?
Likewei92: backup part isnt that importent realy. since its okay to reinstall eveything. Just helps me learn it bether
Thank for the respons to. .

[Q] OC and App2SD with Custom Rom

Hi Guys,
I am very much happy with the custom ROM.. only thing (infact 2 things) i need is to OverClock and App2Sd.
Yesterday, i successfully Rooted my Wildfire.
Now what needs to be done..
Am very new to android..nly few weeks back i got my wildfire..
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Magesh
Guys, after some reading, i think i need to patch HCDR Jacob's kernel to the phone for OC. So, i jus need to put the zip and "install from zip" from clockwork mod???
This is the first time i am doing this.. so i need your guidance..
Thats right, what rom you using ? I have read that its unstable on wildpuzzle rom , for apps2sd you need an ext partition on ur sdcard and flash darktremmors apps2sd and run a2sd reinstall in your terminal app
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
That is correct. Do a nandroid backup first. Install setCPU when you're done and you'll be able to OC
@UtmostMick0 ,,, i just want to OC in Stock Rom itslef.. Is it possible to use App2Sd in stock rom was my another question???
Should b able to, as long as ur phone is rooted flash HCDR Jacobs kernal, install setcpu and u should b good. As 4 apps2sd if you have partioned ur sdcard just flash Darktremmors a2sd, reboot, open a terminal app and type "a2sd reinstall" and wait 4 reboot. Should b like 120+mb internal storage free

thanks,, i decided to go to CM .. i successfully installed CM also.. so nw i have both of them..
I don't know if it's the same, but..
I don't know if it's the same, but I used Rom Mangers built in partition tool to create a 512MB partition on my Desire. It just rebooted and I had loads of free space. I am running SuperVillain which has apps2sd+ support built in.
I'm looking at Wildfire for my wife, and I know two people who have them already.
Could someone please supply the download for a2sd, I want to flash it to my current ROM.
Use the search function, lolz, it's on XDA somewhere

[Q] Just put 2.3 on my HD2, prefer 2.2?

Hello guys,
Very new to the flashing business, I decided to have a play with "NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.2" Android2.3.2 but I think I prefer 2.2. 2.2 had more of an HTC feel to it, I like the flip clock and the weather animations, live HTC wallpapers too.
Can I bring these features into 2.3?
Many thanks
no can do sir.

Do you know if these's a ROM to support my HD2 (512mb) that'll copy the HTC Desire HD's layout?
Thanks

yea u can flash the latest clockwordmod recovery with 400mb. then download a .zip ROM to ur sd card. reboot into clockwork and install from zip.
theres a few more steps but youd be able to find the answers in the rom thread ur looking to download.

I'm not to familar with the Clockwordmod and how to flash like that. I've only ever flashed using MAGLDR which seems to be very easy so far.
I've seen lots of talk of flashing from the SD card and things but I do like the idea of the OS running of the NAND rather than an SD card.
Thanks again.
flashing thru clockwork is similiar to nand flashing. in fact, it IS flashing to ur nand, the only difference is that u have a backup on ur SD card whenever u need to re-install or reboot instead of using ur computer to re-flash ur rom.
so basically, instead of flashing from computer to nand its flashing from sd to nand.

I believe we will see HTC make Sense available for Gingerbread. There's a few articles floating around about it, just do a search in Google.

Hd2 help with roms..

HI, I'm running Android 2.2 Desire Sense from Nand. Magldr 1.3 I was wondering if I can download another Rom to my SD card from my phone and flash? I'm new to this so any links to download any great roms to my phone would help. Thanks in advance. Also, I believe windows is wiped from the phone and when I go into Rom Manager is detects my phone as an HTC Desire. I'm so confused.

Yes and No. It all depends on what system partition you have. If you want a new ROM on your phone you need to go choose one and read teh instructions.

There is all the roms you need in the dev section.
What type of rom do you want? ie what kind of build do you prefer, HTC Sense, Stock Android, Cyanagen Mod, MIUI ??

Well your confusion confuses me, what has windows got to do with rom manager?
Windows is gone yes, You installed MAGLDR which wipes windows allowing you to put Android on the nand in its place.
It says HTC Desire because that is the build you have installed on your device.
If you are new to all this I would highly recommend taking the time to go read some guides etc and learn all the info you need is there waiting for you. There is also a HD2 Toolkit in the NAND forum in sticky topic.
I'm a fan of HTC Sense. Sorry for confusing you, I'm new to this whole flashing thing. I've looked many times trying to find any kind of rom to download with no luck.

So where have you tried because you are obviously looking in wrong place if you cant find any roms lol.
You need to go into the HD2 Android NAND Developmet section.
If you like sense roms you should try this one..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931126
Its based on the stock Desire build but is more stable and has more features.
Are you asking if you can run to roms at the sometime similar to how a SD build works or are you asking if you can put a different new nand Rom on your phone because you would like to try out other roms?
Also if you look under hd2-android-nand you will find a list of roms you can download to your SD card to flash.

Then go and read the pinned/sticky topics and guides and stop hijacking peoples threads with off-topic stuff.
Thanks for the help and quick responses, guys! I appreciate it very much.

if you take a look at this link http://android.hd2roms.com/ you will find all the ROMs listed for the htc hd2 posted here on XDA. it will show you some basic info about each ROM like if its a sd or nand build, as well as give you information on if it has sence or not. definitely worth taking a look at.

You´d have to store the RUU.exe file directly on your SD card, then extract it, and finally save the ROM image file as "leoimg.nbh". If this does work with any Windows Mobile compression/decompression software, I never tried.
Or, if you do have HSPL on your phone, maybe it will work with any custom ROM, directly stored onto your SD card.

Why on earth would he want to do that?? That is to flash Windows Mobile.
Hes asking about Android roms, Hes basically asking if he can download a CWM zip file via his phone and then flash that without need for PC.
@ OP
Yes you can do this but ONLY if your system partition that you currently have is compatible with teh rom you intend to flash. For example some roms need say 150MB partition, If you try and flash one that has more it wont work.
What you would o if you have compatible partition is..
Download CWM zip rom
Power off phone (do not reboot it can corrupt SD on HD2 Android)
Power on phone
Hold power until MAGLDR menu displays choices
Choose AD Recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Advanced>Wipe Dalvik Cache
Install zip from sdcard>Choose zip
Yes by far TheATHEiST instructions are the way 2 go. i might point out its worth keeping maybe the top 2 ROMs you like best on your SD if you have the space that is. this will allow you 2 go between ROMs on the fly.
Awesome!! That's the answer I've been looking for. Thanks so much!!!

So ill just find a rom and I can partition via rom manager, correct?

If you take a look at this post cmylxgo gives a very easy to follow instructions on how to flash his roms. he also supplies all the software right in the thread so you dont have to jump around and look for files else all over since its all in one place including how to flash magldr v1.13 & updating Clockworkmod Recovery Partitions. there are other threads that break it down even farther if you arent able to get it working.

Beta Test for BootManager(multi-boot app)

We've gotten alot of response from the Desire community so thank you all for your help. At this time we do not need any more testers for the desire. BootManager should be updated with support for the Htc Desire in the next few days. The app currently won't support rom's that use apps2sd and data2sd but our team is working on getting support for those as well. Thanks.
Hey guys my team has developed an app called bootmanager which went into the market today. The app let's you install rom's to your sdcard and boot between them. I had originally done an inc only version here that used your recovery for installing rom's. The new app installs the rom's directly through the app and then let's you boot between them. Anyway on to the point of this post...i'm looking for 1 or 2 beta testers to add support for the desire. You'll need a little knowledge of adb, root of course, and just a little bit of patience. So far has worked pretty well on every htc device wev'e tried so I'm confident we can add support for the desire as well. You can get a little more info about the app from the link in my sig or looking at it in the market. If your interested pm me so I can get the info needed for the desire(.i.e partition sizes and a few other things that i'll tell you how to find in adb) and I'll send the apk for you to try. Thanks for your help....
Very interesting app! Would hboot have to be compatible (ie right size) with all the installed roms or as they are installed to SD does it not matter?

by hboot your refferring to the bootloader? This doesn't change the bootloader. It makes img's on your sdcard which hold your system/data/cache files for the rom, then it edits the boot.img for that rom to point to those img's when booting. Then the app flashes the boot.img for the rom you want to boot too.
I would be very interested in trying this out as I pretty much change my ROM on a daily to weekly basis haha, I just can't stop! This would be a good way to nurture my need for all the ROMs I switch between all of the time.
Would this app work on a non rooted phone? I mean having the stock ROM in the phone and a rooted one on the SDcard. But I guess it wouln't...

No you need an unlocked bootloader to switch the boot.img. And root to do a number of other things involved in setting up the rom.

Once you go MIUI you don't go back I can't bring myself to use anything else LOL!
Oh I tried MIUI-XJ, it's nice to know that you're happy with it ^^ I used it for about three to four days and felt that I was using an iPhone more so than an Android and I prefer the feel/look of Android devices... I loved being able to theme it so easily, though. I like the transparency mods in NeoPhyte ROMs and bits and pieces of many others... I should just figure out how to make my own.
I hope that you got my response, Conap! My sent items folder said I hadn't sent anything but I am most positive that I did so I will wait to hear back from you =D.
Yeah, sure I could help with the testing... Do you want somebody with that knows ADB etc..?
got Miui XJ on phone rom and tried to boot CM7.
working without problems so far!
thank you. gonna look into this now
Should we run the update after the rom has been installed, so it updates the boot.img ? Haven't tried running the update.zip directly from bootmanager yet, but works fine from recovery.
Installed MIUI-108050 on my HTC Desire (stock boot/S-ON)
looks fantastic....im new to android and my desire but i am currently using neo's reflex s rom and i love it...i really want to try MIUI but i love reflex!
Gonna sticky this thread, keep up the hard work

[Q] First Time CLK User

Hi All
I have managed to install CLK and placed the ROM onto the SD card and it installs but when I boot into it it stops on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. Is there something ive missed.
Hi Tommy.
If its not a clk rom you have to flash an alternative kernel.
Just dl one and flash it via cwm over the rom
