I'm here with one week old HTC HD2 (TMOUS) unlocked version (from BestBuy). I bought this to install Android. But after reading/searching hours and hours about installing instructions, I'm kinda confused now. I can install but don't know which one to begin and what goes after... pretty much the order of installation.
Currently, I have,
Windows Mobile 6.5 stock ROM
RAM 567MB
Flash memory size 1024MB
ROM version 3.14.531.1(04666) WWE
Radio version 2.15.50.14 (do I need to reflash radio?)
Manila version 2.5.20181424.0
Do I need to re-flash Radio?
I prefer to install cLK bootloader after reading 'senior member T-Macgnolia's' tutorial. Can someone kindly tell me, what to install and in which order?
How do I find cLK versions of HD2 Android ROM's? Any suggestions for better ROM?
Hi!!!
I don't use clk, I prefer magldr, but this is a guide to use clk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901305
hope it'll help you, otherwise someone else can help you better than me.
Your radio version I think is correct, I use it too, like all other people I think...
You find clk version of HD2 rom's generally in first posts of thread about NAND rom in HD2 Android NAND Development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928
Roms: if you want a Sense rom, this is the best in my hopinion, very fast and smooth for a sense rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250703
I actually use this, has some problems (bluetooth, camera) but I like it very very much...
Otherwise, if you prefer non-sense rom, this is the best in my hopinion:

Your radio is correct,but you should flash HSPL before you flash custom WM ROMS or android builds. Ensure you flash the correct version of HSPL for your TMOUS. And as for the better builds, you should try them out yourself.It really depends on what you want.Sense,CM7,MIUI,MAGLDR,CLK...

Try reading the guides in the sitckies of the NAND Android forum, especially MSkip's tutorial on how to flash NAND Android with Clockwork Mod.
Your radio is correct.
Install HardSPL (HSPL) 2.08 first.
Then install MAGLDR (I would recommend this as it's easier than CLK from what I've read.)
Select your ROM (don't flash yet)
In the OP of the ROM there will be guides as to which CWM partition you need etc, just download the right partition size and flash it. One of the reasons I recommend MSkip's tutorial is that all of the files are at the bottom of the post.
Flash the ROM via CWM.
Seeing as in the OP you said you understand how to flash the things, you should understand that I hope. Good Luck.
Thanks Ty5982, I followed one guide and installed cyanogenmod 7 ROM. What I did was
HSPL 2.08
(didn't touch radio since it's correct)
MAGLDR Bootloader 1.13
ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3 (made v1.3 150MB partition)
then went to 8. AD Recovery and installed ROM on the SD card using ClockworkMod Recovery.
As you said now I'm really interested about PYRAMID ROM since it has SENSE. Can you please tell me where to start with now?
Do I have to remove 'ClockworkMod Recovery'? or do I need to install RECOVERY 2.4?

Thanks for the input. I did my first ROM installation... whhooohhoo . Thanks for all the help you all give here.
Now I'm really interested about PYRAMID ROM. But installation instructions doesn't say anything about CWM partition and it talk about different tools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185087)
Can you please tell me how I can remove this ROM and install PYRAMID ROM. Where should I start?

Thanks for the instructions (hit the button ) and I greatly appreciate it. When I change FLASH file, how important is that numbers and how it change the behavior of my ROM?
I'm asking because I saw your first reply and went to SENSE 3.0 PYRAMID V 6.0 ROM and installed it. But original thread instruct to change " system ya 160M " and yours 180M.
Some how I managed to install it and first it was okay but I noticed ROM is kind of slow and Wi-Fi didn't work.
Any help with that issue??? (anyway I'm gonna re-flash it with your instructions)

Go to Xda Hd2 Nand Development and at the top on the thread there will be a toolkit thread. You can search it in Google too. Toolkit is called HD2 Nand Toolkit by Ksubedi. Download the tool. And flash HSPL 2.08. Then flash Task29. Then flash MagLdr through that tool. You can set the size of the partition of MagLdr in center left.
Hit thnkx if this helped.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
i guess u didnt change ur hspl ...change it first to 2.08 befor installing magldr
Thank guys, thank you so much
Omg guys, my HD2 can't load into the MAGLDR113 menu, it stuck at the HTC logo start up screen. it can't load into the phone too...
stucking at the htc screen means that theres a clean nand
did you task29? if yes, try to install magldr again..
follow these steps:
install hspl 4 (2.08 HSPL)
install radio 2.15.50.14 rom
Task29 (clean nand)
install magldr
install cwm
goto cwm (AD Recovery @ magldr menu)
flash rom (install zip from sd card - choose zip from sd card)
have fun
if you need to go manually into magldr menu, keep pressing phone end button while booting.
if this is just too much, just try to use a toolkit (like the nand toolkit or mine (click on banner in my signature )
hope it´ll help a bit.
I still can't figure out how to boot into the MGLDR113 menu, i tried reinstall it and try press the end call button many times when booting up. its not working... omg...
Thanks
Its works now, because i missed out the Radio installation part so it won't work.
I'm now using the EasyAndroid software, its really easy to use, it is design for idiot like me hahaha.
Thank you very much.

if you use eu-hd2 this rom and many others need an ext partition in sd card. do you have an ext partition?
Hi guys
Im currently an SD user.
I want to install this via nand: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250703
I used to use MGLDR etc, is there an easy way to install this? As i cannot find exact info. As there is stuff like CLK and clockwork recovery mod.
Can anynone provide me an easy installation method to do this?
I will really appreciated. I love Android, i dont think i want to boot via WM anymore, and im sure this will also increase the performance? Thanks!!
Have you even tried to look for everything yourself?
I mean, you should have looked for "what is cLK, MAGLDR and CWM?"After doing that little search you should have known that the easiest way to do it is through the NAND toolkit stickied in the NAND forum after (of course) choosing which bootloader you want to use
I would start here:

You need to install a rom... download a daf file rom for your hd2 on to your computer... unzip it... run the daf file... do all this your phone have to be plug in to your computer... in magldr... select USB flash... wait for it to say.... USB....USB. then run daf file that you just unzipped....
Or install clockwork mod recovery (install through USB flasher) with the right partition for the rom.... the rom have to be for magldr... the downloaded rom also have to be transfer to your SD... but into magldr... select ad recovery... then follow prompt... this is the best way to flash rom...

Google or Search here how to flash HSLP to a version needed for this ROM. Be sure also having the right MAGDLR version installed after HSPL. (easier to change than SPL).
I recommend using CWM. (press long red button while booting - go 8. Recovery AD - mount USB - get .zip of ROM on SD and install from .zip)
I recommend you to make sure your SPL version and MAGLDR versions are right before continuing. Also a total wipe or SD formatting (just search here for the stickies) must be (optional) done.
The white screen comes from ? Just guess ? Did you install a ROM ?
If it were no rom flashed, it would stop at the magldr menu. If a phone goes straight to bootscreen after flashing magldr it means either the spl isn't 2.08.hspl or the radio isn't a 2.xx.50.
@neolan enter bootloader, set 2.08.hspl, re enter bootloader, flash radio 2.15.50, the phone will now start into magldr and you can proceed flashing cwm.

when im trying to install HyperDroid-CM7-v5.3.0[a2sd][CyanogenMod7 LEO 2.3.7]

Are you sure that you have downloaded MAGLDR version, and not cLK version?
If you already had Some Android ROM, did you preform wipe data/cache/dalvik?

From your description, this is what you need to flash http://hyperdroid.calibur.info/index.php?file=ca87c22421707cb913ffc939eafd6def. This is the MAGLDR version. You will get kernel error when you flash the wrong version
sorry
could you plz explain me what is the problem and what i need to do

It would be easier if you list what you have done. That way we can help fill in the missing part.
Question:
1. You do have MAGLDR installed?
2. Have you installed cwr (clockwork recovery)? Remember Hyperdroid rom required 150/5 partition in cwr.
You can do both with the HD2 Toolkit posted in HD2 forum.
For MAGLDR 1.13, booting from NAND:
Download the file attached
Download a partition layout incl. recovery from this thread which fits your ROM you want to use best and unzip it into "C:\recovery" for example
Copy over the recovery image file from inside the zip archive into this folder "C:\recovery", delete existing "recovery-raw.img" and rename copied image file to "recovery-raw.img"
Flash the recovery and partition layout using "DAF.exe" as usual and described in the thread of raiderx or the ROM provider
Boot Recovery with menu point "8. AD Recovery"
You're done
ok
how can i know if the magdlr ot clockwork mod is installed
?
again im very sorry
i need to change someting in the htc hd2 tool kit
in the magdlr left side
or in the right side
and what about the cache amount ?
Hi,
a friend gave me an HD2 which stopped booting about three months ago, when he tried to install android on it, without really knowing what he was doing.
I have a bit of experience in installing custom roms in some android devices (HTC Vision, Samsung P1000...), but I know nothing about HD2 or any windows phones.
This is what it says after switching on:
tinypic.com/r/2hywdp4/5
This is after switching on with windows key pressed:
tinypic.com/r/29y43fb/5
This is after switching on with volume key pressed:
tinypic.com/r/25i3f9c/5
[sorry I can't create links because I'm new to xda]
Is there a way to go back to a working status?
If I fix it, I'll earn some glory and a free beer.
The final aim would be to install a NAND android rom, preferably CM7 or similar.
Thanks a lot.
Correct me if i'm wrong guys, but this pic :
tinypic.com/r/25i3f9c/5
is the bootloader mod and it says that you have HSPL 2.08
In my opinion, you just have to flash back a windows 6.5 ROM and follow the whole process to get android (Flash MAGLDR, [....] , and flash a CM7 NANDROID Rom using the clockworkmod) refering to the tutorials in the NANDROID section.
Its not bricked. Just restart the process to install Android as jediL pointed out and you should be good to go. Check here for a detailed explanation on how.
Ok the pictures help a lot. From what I see the first picture is what you see when you boot a HD2 that has clk installed for the custom bootloader but does not have as Android ROM in memory to boot. This is the only reason you well ever see clk at all if you just power on a HD2 with clk installed.
The second pictures is clk trying to boot into recovery but is not able to. It probably either has some kind of problem booting the flashed version or it just does not have a custom recovery flashed to it. My bet is it does not have a custom recovery flashed to it. As most people have problems Glasgow.g a recovery after flashing clk if they are not using the HD2 NAND Toolkit.
The third picture is the the stock bootloader of the HD2 and yes it shows you have HSPL 2.08 installed so you are good with HSPL and do not need to flash HSPL 2.08 to your HD2.
Now to get you on to getting Android up and running. Seeing as you already have clk on your HD2 you do not need to flash it. You do need to flash a custom recovery and you can either check out the guide linked in my sig to flash it via fasboot comands manually or you can use the HD2 NAND Toolkit to flash it in a more automatic way, or to be more specific a more noob friendly way. There is a link to the toolkit in the guide linked in my sig.
You need to pick out what Android ROM you want to use and read the first few post by the ROM chef to see what partition size you need to have and use the Toolkit to repartition the NAND memory to that size. Next download the .zip file for the ROM, make sure you get the version that is for clk. Some ROMs have only one version though that works with MAGLDR and clk. Next copy the .zip to the root of your SD card and then power on your HD2 holding down the home button and your recovery will boot up. Then just find the option that says install from SD card and then select the ROM file and flash it.
I installed HD2 NAND Toolkit.
I executed the following operations:
- Wipe (Task29)
- cLK repartition (150mb)
- cLK install recovery
then I rebooted into CWM recovery and installed the HyperDroid rom.
Now I have a fully working CM7-based android phone!
Thanks a lot!

errr, , , , when you select 8 AD recovery, , does cwm load? if it does, then yes you do, if it doesnt, no you dont.
You can't check the partition size in CWM as far as I know, just flash CWM again with the correct partition size and carry on with the installation procedure.
