[FAQ][HOW-TO]Qiuck FAQ for NAND ROMs PROBLEMS

1. I am a complete n00b, but I want Android on my HD2
You should check this splendid tutorial here, if you havent already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
2. I installed Android, but I cannot root my phone
Go for z4root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
Thanx to teh developers
3. I have robo voice
Turn on speaker while in call, and then end the call immediately, this should help untill next reboot. You might try with a new radio.
4. I have a low volume while in call
Replace the original "htcleo.acdb" existing in the following locations with the one attached.
/etc/firmware/
and
system/etc/firmware/
View attachment LowVolumeFix.rar
Thank you goes to Life Engineer for this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10399494&postcount=433
Alternative link and method for solving the low call volume.
5. I dont have enough space on my phone
1. Before flashing your phone, you can edit the flash.cfg file and change the following line:
cache ya 40M >>to>> cache ya 15M
This reduces the cache by 25M with no discernible impact on the speed of the build (imo).
This should give you in excess of 130MB free after a clean flash. Expect that to drop to around 100MB once Market, Flash and a couple of other apps update themselves.
2. Immediate install Z4root to root your device.
Put it on your SD card and then install a file manager from the Market to browse to it and then install and run. Follow the details on the thread... (Note: it may get stuck on 'Rebooting'. Wait a minute or so and then manually reboot - it will work fine and SuperUser will now work after the reboot)
3. Install Move2SD. You can get it from the Market.You can get it from here.
This allows you to move most (not quite all) apps to SD. It is the best option I have found to move most of those awkward apps.
I have now installed pretty much all of my apps that I used to run on non-NAND builds and have moved about 90%+ of them to the SD card. At time of writing I have loads of apps installed and still have over 70MB free
Thank you goes to Mark5 for this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10239301&postcount=1798
6. I have some battery issues
1. Install Battery Monitor Widget or CurrentWidget from the Market so that you have a way of tracking your current usage.
2. Install Set CPU - free for XDA members from here, but also available on the Market.
After setting your Main Screen to 'OnDemand' and 'Set on Boot', assign SetCPU a couple of profiles. I tend to use:
>> Screen Off: Max/Min 245000, Scaling 'OnDemand', Priority 50%
>> Battery <25% Max 384000/Min 245000, Scaling 'OnDemand', Priority 50%
You can play to your hearts content here, but these give me consistently 7ma in Standby.
Also, you can reduced the sampling rate to 20000 and 'Set on Boot' in Advanced if you like.
3. Avoid power hungry background stuff like animated wallpapers and turn off GPS, Wireless etc. There are LOADS of apps out there that can do this automatically for you free from the market, but I have found that making sure my GPS is off (I have a widget to show me) plus SetCPU is plenty. It may work for you though.
4. Some have reported that Darkstone's suggestion makes a major difference to their power consumption:
"To fix high power drain / usage in standby (60mA or 70mA) disable 'Use wireless networks' in Settings>Location menu. You will now get 7mA or less constantly. I discovered this as the main culprit last night. Also works in other builds."
Thank you goes to Mark5, again.
7. I have no 3G/data, it used to work well with WinMo
You should go
Home Screen>Menu button>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names>Menu Button>New APN
Then you should fill everything needed. If you dont know the right settings for you, you should search for APN settings in this sub-forum. There are thousands of posts with settings in the Cotulla ROM threat alone. Some dedicated TMOUS ROMS come with working APN out of the box
You might look at this blog, too:

THE GPS threat has moved to the next post
I read these questions thousands of times, that is why I wrote this FAQ. Some of these tips have helped me, some have helped others. I hope this helps as well

8. GPS is not working/gets the fix too slow
A few people mentioned that GPS has not been working. This is what I (always) do with a new build (both NAND and SD), and so far, it's been working.
1. Use file explorer capable of editing system files to edit the file /system/etc/gps.conf (I use Root Explorer but unfortunately this is paid software; not tried with free version of Astro or ES, and it is possible that they can work too.)
2. Make sure that the bit after "NTP_SERVER=" goes with your location. I believe that as provided, it's "north-america.pool.ntp.org". If you live outside North America, as I do, edit to the appropriate server--as listed at the NTP POOL PROJECT (google for that).
3. The very first attempted GPS lock tends to take longer, often in the minutes. But after that, even if I switch off and on the GPS, it only takes a few seconds to acquire a lock.
This is added by me to the original post, taken from the post mentioned...
Code:
# cat /system/etc/gps.conf
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
Breakdown of contents:
NTP server is used to get accurate time, without you can't get a correct GPS loc.
XTRA is the GPS Satellite position servers.
SUPL is the Location server uses for A-GPS. in this case Google's own.
Thank you goes to Daelyn for the original post and to Claus72 for pointing this info out.

4. Sometimes GPS becomes more responsive after a fresh soft reset.
5. Look for "GPS Status" in Marketplace. This app is able to reset the state of the GPS chip and download A-GPS data. Seems to help a little.

Thank you goes to Theory and lms1407
6. You can try FasterFix, too. Thanx to the developer
7. Some Android voodoo, which seems to help some, I read it originally here
Tried a method which seems to have solved the problem (I hope). Downloaded app "GPS Status" from Android market.
Then followed instructions as found on this site
Originally advice for Nexus One owners:
Take your SIM out of the Nexus One
Power on the device
Turn WiFi on
Turn GPS on
Open application: GPS Status
Go into its Settings menu
Click on GPS and Sensors
Click Manage A-GPS state
Click Reset
Click Manage A-GPS state again
Click Download
Now put your phone on a stable, straight surface in order to enable the phone to get a lock. This time, you’ll see your phone get the lock back way faster than before.
With that done, now it’s time to put your SIM back in and use the network to secure a quick GPS fix as well.
As I said this has worked for me so far. Let me know if it helps any of you

9. The Definite Guide: How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 w ClockWorkMod Recovery
After a lot of reading, I collect the following, just for my own aid. I hope it will be proved useful to others.
(A few posts after this one, in the same thread, you can find the following guides, also:
How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 WITHOUT ClockWorkMod Recovery
&
FLASHING A NEW NAND ANDROID ROM OVER A PREVIOUS ONE (without clockwork mod))
So here it is:
How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 with ClockWorkMod Recovery
(updated 12 March 2011)
Prerequisites
HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
Radio that support 576 RAM (ex. radio ROM 2.15)
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader
ClockworkMod Recovery
Make sure that you have all the prerequisites installed.
STEPS:
A: Install HSPL3
B: Install radio ROM 2.15
C: Install MAGLDR on HTC HD2
D: ClockworkMod Recovery
E: NAND Android on HTC HD2 with ClockWorkMod Recovery
A: Install HSPL3
Prerequisites
* Windows Mobile Device Center installed on Windows Vista / Windows 7 or
* ActiveSync installed on Windows XP
* You must have any SPL version from this list on your device:
o SPL 1.42.0000
o SPL 1.62.0000
o SPL 1.66.0000
o SPL 2.07.0000
o SPL 2.08.0000
o SPL 2.10.0000
(To check your SPL version, hold the Volume Down button and do a reset)
You should have this SPL version unless you are using the latest 3.14 ROM with SPL 3.03.0000. No worry, just downgrade your Windows Mobile ROM from v3.14 to v1.66 will do. Download HTC HD2 v1.66 ROM. Then downgrade your phone from SPL 3.03.0000 to SPL 1.42.000.
Step by Step Guide
1. Power off your phone.
2. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
3. It will load into bootloader.
4. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-1.42.
5. Take off the battery.
6. Power on your phone.
7. Connect USB cable from PC to phone after Windows Mobile loaded.
8. Select ‘ActiveSync’ and click ‘Done’.
9. Open HSPL3_PKG.zip with 7-Zip.
10. Copy HSPL3_PKG.exe to desktop.
11. Execute HSPL3_PKG.
12. Follow onscreen instructions to install.
13. Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
14. Bootloader will be loaded with USB status during starting of installation.
15. Select ’2.08.HSPL’ to install.
16. After installation, you should see ‘We hacked it!’ on your phone.
17. Click on ‘Yes’ and your phone should be rebooted and load into Windows Mobile.
18. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
19. To verify, power off your phone.
20. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
21. It will load into bootloader.
22. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
23. That’s all.
B: Install Custom Radio ROM
Prerequisites
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
In order to flash custom radio ROM, you need to have HSPL3 installed on your HTC HD2. By the way, I used Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 on my guide. You can use it or any other HTC HD2 Radio ROM version.
HTC HD2 has 576 MB physical RAM but was reduced by software to 512 MB only. And custom Windows Mobile ROM + radio 2.07 or above can unlock it to be 576 MB again. Certain custom Windows Mobile ROM need higher radio version than your phone. And NAND Android requires it too. So you need to install custom radio ROM (if you don’t have the correct radio version).
Step by Step Guide
1. Power off your phone.
2. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
3. It will load into bootloader.
4. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
5. Take off the battery.
6. Power on your phone.
7. I have R 2.06.51.07 at bottom of the screen with green HTC Logo.
8. Connect USB cable from PC to phone after Windows Mobile loaded.
9. Select ‘ActiveSync’ and click ‘Done’.
10. Open Radio Leo 2.15.50.14.rar with 7-Zip.
11. Copy CustomRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh to desktop.
12. Execute CustomRUU.
13. Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
14. Follow onscreen instructions to install.
15. Bootloader will be loaded with USB status during starting of installation. (~10 minutes)
16. Phone will be rebooted after installation finished.
17. You should have R 2.15.50.14 at bottom of the screen with green HTC Logo.
18. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
19. That’s all.
C: Install MAGLDR
In order to install NAND Android on HTC HD2, you must install DFT MAGLDR Bootloader first. And the good news ~ both LEO512 and LEO1024 are supported. This means US T-Mobile HD2, Europe, Asia and the rest of the world’s HTC HD2 are supported.
Note – by installing MAGLDR, you cannot boot into Windows Mobile anymore. So everything on your phone is gone…
Prerequisites
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
* Radio that support 576 RAM
No worry, Android on NAND is working. That’s the reason we install DFT MAGLDR Bootloader on our HTC HD2, right? And we will be able to load the latest Windows Phone version (if we are crazy...) when the ROM comes out. Okay, let’s get started. If you don’t have HSPL3, please install it first. And aslo install radio ROM 2.15.
Step by Step Guide
1. Power off your phone.
2. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
3. It will load into bootloader.
4. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
5. Take off the battery.
6. Power on your phone.
7. You should have R 2.15.50.14 at bottom of the screen with green HTC Logo.
8. Connect USB cable from PC to phone after Windows Mobile loaded.
9. Select ‘ActiveSync’ and click ‘Done’.
10. Open DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113.rar with 7-Zip.
11. Copy MAGLDR113 folder to desktop.
12. Enter MAGLDR113 folder.
13. Execute ROMUpdateUtility.
14. Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
15. Follow onscreen instructions to install.
16. Bootloader will be loaded with USB status during starting of installation.
17. Phone will be rebooted after installation finished.
18. DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded then.
19. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
20. That’s all.
D: How to Install ClockworkMod Recovery on HTC HD2

NAND ROM - Android rom, flashed in NANd memory, just like WM6.5 is. It replaces WM. Opposite to SDCARD ROMs which relies on WM to run the ANdroid build, which is located on the SDCARD.
Free size - depends on the ROM you picked, read 1 post of the ROM threat.
Please, read how to flash NAND Android for newbies first, if you want to take this step...

I deleted your download link because the file was an ad free version of Angry Birds which I assume is a warez cracked version. If you can prove this is a free download version then you can put the link back up but if its warez then please do not post those kinds of files on xda as they are not allowed and will result with an infraction on your account.

I have a question regarding the gps.conf file. Is it ok if I add multiple NTP servers for example.
NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

Will doing something like this help. I have tried the editing gps.conf file to my location and it has not helped. Rarely do I get a GPS lock.

What build are you using? If it's Gingerbread, this won't help, whatever you do...
Great post!
Bravo!
Just one thing,
3. I have robo voice
Turn on speaker while in call, and then end the call immediately, this should help untill next reboot. You might try with a new radio.

You should add for Gingerbread users that they should also:
For "fix" robovoice after 1-st boot before call disable "Audible touch tones"

Format your sd card using the attached tool which was written especially for removeable media. Go into the options and change FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT to 'ON' and it should format your card with the correct size and bring it back to life. You can then use it in your phone again without any problems.

At the time of my post I was MDJ's Cyanogen Gingerbread v2.4. Now I have moved on to v2.5. So what you are telling me is that changing this file to my location.pool.ntp.org will not help on gingerbread? It's better to leave the gps.conf file as it it?
Edit: Even with v2.5 which has the gps fix built in my phone takes a long time to get a lock even in an open field. Almost in the range of 3 - 4 minutes.

I'm kinda noob, but how do I get to this \system gps.config file? I mean I can't acces the phone memory or find it on the sd card.

Hi Senior,
I just have 114MB internal memory on my new "android phone"!!
Is this normal? I can't download any apps that you can't move to your SD anymore.
Can you help me?

Think I just found it by using Astro file manager.
I searched in the phone root for gps, then I found gps.config and opened it as a text. After that I chanced america for nl.
Is that the right way?
Wait guess it is because I just got a fix

Rookie problem with urukdroid07

Hello,
I'm trying to install Urukdroid0.7 but I meet a problem at the moment of reboot to access the recovery menu.
I've only 5 options:
No
Reboot
Update Firmware
Repair System
Format System
I don't see the Dev menu... Any idea?
Thanks for reading,
V

Have you read the whole how-to and installed SDE before step 1?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895599

Thanks for your fast answer.
It seems that I missed that point.
Now it's done.
I flashed with initramfs.gz and zImage.
Now after reboot and holding volume, I connect as Developer Edition.
But when I type su in Android Terminal Emulator, it returns me su: not found.
Did I miss an other point?
edit: What means "root (su + superuser.apk) out of the box" ? I found that superuser.apk is well in the rootfs.tar.gz that I uncompressed. Do I need to install it manually on the ARchos ? what about su ?
Vincent

How could I show you how good/bad are installed the files on my SD card?

Hey Vincent... I'm coming in cold (know nothing about the system you're trying to install -- yet).
I do know that before you can su, a superuser / root apk needs to be installed. Within the directions that you're following is it possible you missed a step that called for installing superuser.apk? That's typically when root is laid down.
Shell

Boot to SDE:
power on Archos, hold up/+ volume key until you see "Archos AXXXX - Boot Menu",
choose "Developer edition"
You should see "UrukDroid 07 Installation framework". Please choose simple install method. When asked to, connect Archos to PC once again and copy UrukDroid-install.tgz, disconnect Archos from PC _properly_ (umount, safely remove device etc.) and press power button shortly.

Did you see/perform this step? This is likely where superuser is getting laid down.

Thanks for your reply Synman.
In fact I'm following the installation instructions at post 7 that is "leaving more space for custom approach".
In these instructions, there is nothing specified about "You should see "UrukDroid 07 Installation framework".
Any idea?

Those steps are referring to you creating a special partition on your sdcard using Linux.... not your android device.
I like the simple solution documented here. Recommend crawl before walk...

After that I fell too many times trying to walk, I decided to begin to crawl...
I started the normal installation instructions but at the step
Boot to SDE:
* power on Archos, hold up/+ volume key until you see "Archos AXXXX - Boot Menu",
* choose "Developer edition"
You should see "UrukDroid 07 Installation framework".
My screen stay blocked on ARCHOS and I never see any "UrukDroid 07 Installation framework".
Maybe I should reset my Archos and my SD card to prepare a clean state before crawling again.
Any other idea or any link to explain me how "undo" all my walking errors?

I think a clean slate is certainly in order.

After a full format, a reinstallation of Android, SDE, UD07 on a new SD card class6, everything is well installed.
Let's continue...

Bootloops again and again with every Rom I use

Hello Android user
First off all, sorry to bother you with this problem but I already used Google and the searchengine but I wasn't able to find a solution.
I have the HTC hd2 nand flashed with the newest maglrd version. (I am completely new in this scene)
I had Android 2.3.4 installed when I bought this phone but I wished to have an Android with HTC sense so I downloaded an nand Rom for hd2 but it was no use, I got always those screen freezes (boot loops) , till I took an autoinstaller from dark force team and know I am still messing up with a bad moddet 2.2 rom, could someone write an step by step tutorial for me?
I want to get 2.3.4 again (in the best case with sense)
I found a lot of other tuts but I can't understand the meaning of the steps because I am an noob, a tutorial for dummy would be great, I would really appreciate it !
Thanks a lot for reading my thread.

you must repartition your nand according to the needs of the rom.at first page of android nand thread there is hd2 nand tool kit dowload it. connect your phone to pc-in mgldr menu choose usb flasher-see usb flasher....usb-in toolkit choose appropriate partition sizes then click repartition. in addition if you are an eu hd2 user you should have sd-ext partition for sense roms.ifyou stuck ask again

Thanks Pal, I will try it !
Sounds pretty easy, I will contact you, if I stuck on my effort, but thanks for the
hint
Awesome !

Yeah AOSP roms (CM7, etc) use much smaller partitions than Sense roms. For example with a TMOUS HD2 a AOSP rom like Typhoon uses roughly 130mb system partion wheras a Sense rom use 390-400mb partition. If you do not change this and try to flash a Sense rom then you are essentially running out of space before the rom can be fully installed, ergo the bootloop.
Like the previous poster said, check the first page of each rom you download as they usually tell you what size partition to use. Some will even have a daf.exe file for you to flash the appropriate partion & recovery.
Good luck

Hay guys, thanks for your adives but it was no use, I still get those damn loops,
could anyone give me his instant messanger adress, so he could guide me through the installation.
I am pretty dessperate

In your opening post you say "screen freezes(bootloops)"
Which is it? Freezing or looping? Cos they're two different things.
Looping is often associated with power problems such as a bent battery pin, whilst freezing could be not clearing the data/cache/sdext partition, or overheating, (amongst various others)

Important Notice: If you were given a direct link to this post, edit step #8 and choose a ROM you prefer from the NAND sub-forum and edit step #11 and enter the values you get from the ROM's thread/OP.
HD2 Android NAND for dummies:
1-This tutorial assumes that you have HSPL already installed, your device is connected to your pc and you have the latest drivers, please carry on.
1a- Fully Charge your phone (use external charger, or manage yourself!)
2- Go to ksubedi's Thread and download his HD2 NAND Toolkit (thanks ksubedi!)
3- After Installing it, Power Off your device (HD2) and power on into bootloader mode (Power on while Holding Volume down)
4- After seeing ("Serial" changed to "USB") on your phone, run the toolkit with Administrator rights (default).
5-(Optional) From bottom right corner choose "Wipe (Task29)", go through the steps and when your device reboots go into bootloader again (Volume Down and Power On).
6- Choose from bottom right corner "Install MAGLDR", go through the process and when your phone restarts hold the power button (not the volume!)
7- MAGLDR Screen will appear, Go down (using volume rockers) to Option 5. USB Flasher and wait for it to say "wait USB".
8- Go to Tyween's Thread and download his ROM (Thanks tyween)
**8- Typhoon is a CM7 build not sense (Sense takes more NAND Space and can be somewhat laggy and slow )
9-After Downloading the MAG Build, put the ZIP file on your sd card and put it into your phone.
10- On the toolkit, from the top panel choose "MAGLDR Repartition" and from the left panel choose 150mb system partition and from the bottom set the cache size to 5mb then click on repartition and go through it.
11- Reboot your phone into MAGLDR screen (by holding the Power on button)
11-a (Optional) if you think you may need extra storage for your apps/games, create an ext3 or ext4 partition on your sdcard using Easeus Partition Manager on your PC.
12- Go to Option 8.Android Recovery (Using volume rockers) and hit the Green Button (Dial Button) to go to recovery.
13- A Black screen with orange/blue text will show up (This is recovery) go to "Install Zip from sd card" And then choose the second option then choose your recently downloaded ROM and hit green button, now look at step 13a before confirming, then hit yes.
13a- If you chose to create an ext partition on your sdcard in step 11-a, don't forget to either a-select NAND with DataOnExt when installing the ROM. (If supported by ROM) or b-flash an a2sd script after flashing the ROM immediately.
14-a Now it will begin the flashing process, just wait for it.
14-b when it finish, simply choose "Reboot system now" and let the device boot into Android.
14-c After the device has booted, dont touch your phone but let it initialize for at least 3 minutes before using it.
Is this what you asked for?
Please read the following F.A.Q before sending me any PMs or making a post!
F.A.Q:
Q: What do you mean by drivers in step #1?
A: Read this short post.
Q: In step #1, you say "HSPL". What is that? And how do I install it?
A: Read this.
Q: In step #7 my device never says "wait USB"?
A: Sometimes, it may be connected without "wait USB" appearing. You can try to continue without waiting for it. But if the flashing fails, you need to check your steps.
Q: I cannot find the MAG build for the ROM I want?
A: Recently, they have been combining both cLK and MAGLDR into one zip. If the developer doesn't mention cLK or MAGLDR, it's a universal zip so download it and install it.
Q: When installing the ROM, I was asked to use "PPP or RMNET". Which one do I choose?
A: Choose RMNET. (You can choose PPP, but it drops sometimes).
Q: I did all the steps but I am stuck in a bootloop, what do I do?
A: It could be anything, but mostly bad blocks. Increase the system partition by ~20MB.
Q: The ROM I want to use says "SD-EXT" or "EXT partition" is required. What does that mean?
A: It means step 11a is mandatory for you.

Thanks a lot Marvlesz, you really made my day haha

Haha !! it's 2 AM here , 1 hour left before we fast
I'm really glad that I helped you, and there are "simple, easy" tutorials floating everywhere, I dont think another one is essential

too big partition possible? Problems with Pyramid.
RAFdroid works perfect on my HD2 EU. Nand partition is 400.
When I try to install one of the available Pyramid ROMS, they all keep repeating the white/green "quietly brilliant" screen (One time I let it for 2 hours, but no effect). Is this because I did not change the NAND partition? It's bigger than needed. In recovery I allways do factory reset and whipe Dalvik cache.

change your nand partition.because it is much more bigger than the rom wants and this may cause problem.

Changing the NAND partition was the solution. Why do they use such a small partition in NAND, and such a big one on SD. Is the remaining NAND still in use for something?

Could some one of you recommond a android rom with 2.3.x with htc sense
like an htc desire hd rom!

the rom you have chosen doesnt boot without an sd-ext partition.this procedure will erase your sd.so make a backup to pc.this can be done at pc but i try to teach doing it at mgldr.in mgldr menu go to:ad recovery-advanced-partition sd card-2048m(since this rom is big i recommend this)-then 0 as swap(i use 128m to support ram but you shuld know that swap may harm your sd). now put your backup to sd:in mgldr ad recovery-mounts and storage-mount usb storage now your pc will see your sd.

Thanks a lot !

[GUIDE] Install MaGLDR 1.13, ClockworkMod Recovery and MIUI ROM for HD2

Hi, I've been having some trubles to find the way to first, update MaGLDR to 1.13, then install ClockworkMod Recovery and finally MIUI ROM. First I googled how to update MaGLDR to 1.13, but I couldn't follow the directions I found on the original thread, I didn't had ActiveSync. So I'm writing this thead so if someone has the same problems as I had, I hope this can help someone. And if you want to install any other ROM, this may be usefull too. I find the ROM installation from Recovery easier and faster then installing it by RUU, but, that's my opinion.
I want to make clear that all the files on this post are not my work, I just uploaded again, so you can find anything you need on this same post. I'll upload the MIUI ROM for HD2 too, I just want to add, that I rather this ROM for HD2 beacause it is very light and fast, but that's just my opinion too.
Before we begin, make sure your HD2 battery is at least 50% charge. So, let's begin.

2. Wait for Windows to install drivers
3. Decompress the content of the file above on an empty folder
4. Rigth click on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and select Run as Administrator
5. Click the check box and click next, and repeat
6. Your phone will show a screen saying HTC with a progress bar for a little while, once it finishes it will restart, hold the power button so it shows the MaGLDR menu options, the option AD Recovery should be on the menu, and there you got, you just updated MaGLDR to 1.13 version.
Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
Before you choose which file to download here is an explanation from the original thread.
Q. I dont know which partition size to download
A. Depending on what type of roms you plan on using, you should choose the partition size based on the following.

250MB Partition - For Standard sense roms including Desire and EVo based ROMs, can also be used for some squashed HD builds
400MB Partition - For Larger roms including unsquashed Desire HD and Z roms, ROMs REQUIRE data2sd for EU HD2 with 512MB NAND

Easy WAY
Hey thanks for this guide, it is the most easiest guide on installing ROM's on the HD2.
I have always run into problems when installing ROM , it always some error, because the MAGLDR file or some
other file is the wrong version etc
I have send days trying to find a quick and problematic free and best way to install ROM's on the HD2,
right now I am on my second HD2 and I am trying to install the latest's Miui ROM's on it,
the first HD2 stop working after I flash it the last time with ROM's and the phone keep freezing frequently, and most time I would have to remove
the battery which eventually damage one of the battery connecting pin, I send it to a repair shop and they made a mess of it
now I have it for parts.thank again.....

No problem

Well ... Dear Friend ... I'm Sure you missed Something so lets check This :
1- The Windows Should be XP ( If have 7 You need To install active sync and HTC Drivers To make the "Serial" ( In boot loader ) cange ino "USB")

Maybe I missed about HD2Toolkit, but the steps I wrote, I executed them on Windows 7 and it all worked perfectly several times, and yet indeed you need either the drivers, that I downloaded throught Windows Update, or ActiveSync from the HTC webpage, or you can just google them, but I agree on the fact that Windows XP is better when flashing any device, and HD2Toolkit, if you can get your hands on it, is a very useful set of tools, depending on what you want to do
Thanks a lot Hitman1376

Glad to hear that ...

I installed this MAGLDR (it says aMAGLDR v1.13 at the top), but cannot set AD SD dir, when I go to Services->BootSettings, highlight 3. AD SD Dir and press left button (Green?) it goes straight to MAGLDR home, giveing me no option to choose folder.
Partitions on my SD card:
1. Unallocated - 8MB
2. FAT32 - 17,2GB
3. Ext4 - 1GB
4. Ext4 - 4.1GB
5. Unformatted - 7GB
If I understand right it should see 2 as /sdcard and (after flash of Android) - 3 as /system and 4 as /data?
Forgot setting FAT32 as primary... idiot...

Better? Ehi man thanks for the encouragement...
My objective is to write guides that are written from a noob to a noob, so easily understandable.
I know that most of the times they don't read guides, but maybe if they are all collected in one single tread the "noobs" are enciuraged to read them because they don't have to waste time looking for the tutorial they need...

First post updated with a new tutorial on how to install a different modem in your device using aroma installer.

Don't listen to them. Your post is really great and very helpful. Keep updating please
