(req) NAND installation

Can someone post a detailed step by step guide on how to get a NAND android rom fully working on are hd2's?

1. download MAGLDR
2. download NAND Android ROM of choice.
3. Install MAGLDR on your HTC HD2 ( run ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
4. Boot HD2 and select in the menu "4. USB Flasher"(by scrolling down using the volume down key and selecting with the phone button)
5. Run ANDR_INSTALL.exe on your computer.
6. Wait while it does its thing.
7.Let it Reboot. enjoy.

And as I found out the hard way, you need HSPL 2.08 too !

Anyone know if it's possible to flash 2 Android builds to NAND? I installed the sense build by Cotulla. How would I go about trying the CM 6.1 w/o overwriting my current build?

Hi,
I read earlier that magldr would make it possible to boot WinMO from NAND and boot into Android from storage card. Tha's what I want (for now) since I'm still experimenting with Android and think I need WinMo to fallback when I ****up things.
Anyone already figured out how to do that?
TIA,
Cheers,

Does the ROM have to be NAND enabled or what? The ROM I want to install isn't updated to NAND

yeah im pretty sure cuz the files in the folder from a regular rom are diffrent then when you download a nand enabled rom.

You do need a ROM which is for NAND....
The ROM's available thus far, are for running off the SD Card via Haret !

I'm using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857261 at the moment because I only get a 3-8ma drain using it as a Australian mate suggested it but gah, I'll switch if any NAND ROMs only have 3-8ma.
Should I use NAND Stock or Desire HD then? I wanna switch to NAND ASAP.

somone said that you need to have 2.08 hspl wich i have but waht about radio and windows mo requirements??

I agree, a sticky by one of the more experienced members in the near future would be very helpful, especially emphasizing the proper preparations and prerequisites. Because of all the hype and down right excitement and enthusiasm with Nand based Android, there's a ton of questions, information overload, and threads way too long to go through. A definite need for a one stop covers all type of sticky imho. If someone would be so kind, it would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Oooo MAGLDR V1.12! Upgrading etc

MAGLDR V1.12 soon! main features: *various bug-fixes *built-in recovery support.
Now I know there's already a post. But what I'm asking for is if someone can write a brief walk through on upgrading...from old versions or clockwork.
Is it a case that you use the DFT flasher with the latest version to take the phone up to 1.12, then run the clockwork mod again? Or will clockwork not be required any more as it says it has built in recovery support?
Thought I'd get this nailed now before hundreds of questions plague the forum!

Step by step.
0. HardSPL should already be installed
1. Download and flash your carriers LATEST SHIPPED OFFICIAL ROM
2. Download and flash latest MAGLDR
3. Use latest MAGLDR to install Nand ROM of choice.
Very simple.

you can actually just flash 1.12 over 1.11 without having to go stock > HSPL first, just know that it will erase your current ROM per Cotulla it repartitions so back up your current ROM. If you're using CWM what you'd do is:
1) go into CWM and backup your ROM
2) Flash MAGLDR 1.12
3) Flash CWM
4) enter CWM and restore your backed up ROM.
If you want to do a "clean" install (recommended by some) then do as dharvey recommends, but I'd throw a task29 in there before flashing stock for that extra "clean" feeling.
edit: after re-reading your post, you have a point on maybe CWM being built into 1.12. If this is the case then you would skip step 3 and go from step 2 to accessing the built in CWM and restoring as in step 4.

Like TheATHEIST says, I don't think flashing a stock WinMo ROM makes a lot of sense here. Just flashing MAGLDR directly after task29 would be more sensible, I'd think.
Like you say, when you flash some Android ROM MAGLDR will repartition and overwrite the contents of your NAND anyway. No need to fill it with unnecessary WinMo stuff first.

Anyone here have a 1.12 beta?
I think there is no need for this thread. Cotulla should have the full instructions on how to upgrade from 1.10 or 1.11 when he has updated his post to the 1.12 build. It is too early to give update instructions for somthing that is yet to be released!

Not quite, I`m afraid. As people have mentioned before, you can just back-up everything then restore those back-ups after upgrading. Really isn`t that hard...

You would have to talk to cotulla for source code, as its closed source. It's only for hd2.

I agree. But I do a mtty- task 28, task 29 first before any new nbh. I also do a task2a but that is a bit much for most here who can't bring it back afterwards. For any interested in undoing task2a-clean let me know - not that hard -really. Damn I hope MAGLDR 1.12 can boot WM6.5 also ! and UBUNTU zImage/rootfs.ext2... Not gonna even mention wp7 although I heard it now has .pvk cracked and is LIVE. As long as bugs fixed be great: but ubuntu, ext2 support for it, and wp6 .nbh rom load from sd would be great. I am using darkstone super-nand with RAM image partition and getting OVER 4000 on QUADRANT with ABSOLUTELTY NO OVERCLOCKING. With over clocking it is crazy. Cant wait for (sorry off topic) super-nand with OC1536-smartass.
Only benefit of flashing stock rom is it does remove hspl and for some reason seems to CLEAN it out - ie: spl, radio, all nand etc. Ive been doing that and task2a AFTER enabling uselast24nand succesfully but had to make MY OWN NBH to get it back and put SPL/HSPL back onto after RSA FAIL = "bricked".
More seriously:
Anyone here know how to make magldr work with zImage and initrd from ubuntu? and mount/shrink/"yaffs" rootfs.ext2 ? maybe using initrd from CLK1.1 .nbh? or even darkstone's initrd and point onward to rootfs?

Yep. But #htc-linux is the only place to go for that but is waste: he is BUSY with two major projects . dont think he reads this but DFT do: mwang etc.
ps: darkstone-superNAND-rules: quadrant over4000 with no Overclocking at all and is Killer!
pps: Ubuntu DOES "boot" on Magldr 1.11 and gets upto keyboard and desktop - then freezes - why is this - note: must be in \linux and magldr pointed to it. It stays ALIVE a LOT longer under darkstone's supernand rom obviously due to something with ram partition? Any idea how to make it work? and keep it fully ALIVE?

Yes. You'll obviously need magldr 1.12, and you will lose Android, but you can flash WP7 directly over it.

I just flashed MAGLDR 1.12 it doesn't seem you need to reinstall android, do i need to reinstall android? Will there be bugs, etc..?

Flashing magldr alone will not do anything to your installed ROM. You don't need to worry about reinstalling Android.

Hi,
Do you have MAGLDR installed?

yes, the guide I followed instructed me to install MAGLDR
EDIT: sry would post the guide I followed however cannot due to forum rules about having more than 8 posts
however it involved using
HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
Radio that support 576 RAM
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader
ClockworkMod Recovery

The only way I found to upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread was to do a Titanium Backup of all the apps and individually restore. When I used MAGLDR to restore, apps going from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, some of the apps didn't translate to Gingerbread correctly I found. Some of them either wouldn't work or visually looked wrong. Also it would freeze the Gingerbread ROM for me on my phone as well. Going Titanium Backup may be tedious but it works. I went from Cmylxgo's Desire HD(2) ROM to currently Pongster's Hyperdroid CM7 v2.1.0 ROM.

Hi,
The best way to proceed is to start from scratch.
As slbenz suggests,use Titanium Backup To save all your data.
Then
Download THIS TOOL
Flash radio...download HERE Enter bootloader:hold down volume button when you power on phone.When you are on tri-color screen,insert cable to usb.When screen changes from "serial"to "usb",proceed.
Open HD2 Installer:
Task 29 (Enter bootloader:as above)
HSPL 2.08 HSPL (Enter bootloader:as above)
MAGLDR (Enter bootloader:as above)
(when magldr has loaded,power on and enter by holding power button until you see magldr screen.)
(when this is done,Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card.1024m with 0 cache)
Repartition according to ROM requirements.(via number 5 usb flasher)
Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
Then go to install zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card)
reboot.
Give it time.Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.

Hey thx for the reply, seems very detailed.
Will def try it out soon however it does seem longer than when I had to just install froyo and difficulty does seem to be heightened as well. Really need my phone this weekend so will wait til next week to try it out I guess ^^ Will report back with results or asking for more help lolz~
thx

Why on earth would you install MAGLDR 1.10 when 1.13 is the latest and best? Anyway, flash 1.13 then I would recommend following this guide to install NAND Android, flashing via USB Flasher is outdated, CWM is the only way to go.

[Question] Stuck at boot...

Hello, I am stuck at my boot screen after installing HSPL, then MAGLDR, then Leo Radio and last ClockWorkRecovery for HD2.
Is my phone still savable as long as I can boot into my boot menu?
Not even sure what went wrong, did everything right but it didn't boot already after the: "We hacked it" or something.

So what i understand is that you installed HSPL 2.08, then MAGLDR 1.13, then you installed a Radio, what HD2 do you have and what radio did you get?

One last question, though (if I'm allowed to ask?).
If I download this SD Rom, and put it on my SD Card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681906#2
And then go into CWRecovery -> Install .zip from SD Card -> Choose .zip from SD Card -> cm9_update_20120822.zip -> Yes - Install
This will happen:

Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.

EDIT: Same happens for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792680

To run a SD Rom you extract it onto the root of ur SD Card (take it out of the folder) then in magldr just choose to boot from SD card.
Please click on the thanks button if i helped

Thanks so much!
I thanked you in two posts!
Also, if I install a NAND Package using CWRecovery, it tells me it succesfully installed the package, but it still boots to MAGLDR when I boot up the phone...
...is there a way to fix that too?

Thank you
If you want it to automatically boot then go to options in magldr and select boot AD NAND, if not you can just select boot AD NAND in the magldr window.

It tells me there are no boot sources while it said:
"Installed succesfully"
"Please reboot"
EDIT: Also, when I wipe my cache or anything it tells me it can't find /misc/ or anything...
please, I am so confused..
And when I boot from SD (with SD Rom) it gets stuck at the very first loading screen and reboots...
Is something wrong with my phone?
(Also, I didn't redo all the steps, I just flashed the radio and it seems to work, do I need to redo every step still for it to work right?)

Did you partition your system and sd card?
If not look n the thread of where you found the rom and see what syste partion it needs.

Wait, could you maybe please add me on Skype?
nathan_frissen
I am really confused now. ;(

Ive added you, you still havent accepted

I had this issue once before, I realized it was because I didn't re-partition as I was meant to. Try downloading the HD2 Toolkit and double checking in the thread you downloaded the NAND from about the partition sizes and use the Toolkit to partition it.
Hope I helped mate
