Confused on how to reflash magldr - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

My friend had someone locally install magldr, and androind 2.3.2 on his phone. The ROM used isn't the greatest. Keeps crashing the phone, won't allow GPS to lock and a few other issues.
He asked me to re-ROM the phone with another, more stable ROM. The first ROM I found for the phone listed "GPS lock within 5-20 seconds" sounds like they fixed a few issues.. but the problem is every guide on how to load a ROM onto the phone starts from using WM.
How do I go about replacing the ROM?
Are there any good, well known rom's that I should be using?
Any and all help is appreciated.

All ROMs nowadays are good, but I would advise MIUI or CM7. Gingerbread Sense ROMs are not perfect yet (but they are very close! Still try them if you want).
As for the guide, I found this one very good.

Problem. I followed those steps buy magldr isn't able to locate the zip on the sd card. Tried the HTC sense ROM. Any suggestions?

Tried a different ROM. It installed successfully. There's no data available, mms's aren't receiving and GPS isn't locking.. going to keep trying different roms until one does the trick.
I used the HTC Sense stock ROM. I'm going to try another one, i'm guessing these issues are all driver related.

Try a generally more stable/reliable ROM such as Typhoon CM7. This may help, as Sense + Gingerbread is still not all that great IMO (some may find it OK, I simply don't)

I'll give that a try, thanks.

Here is something to read for you.
Follow the steps, run Task29...clean everything...Install Magldr then install CWM.
From there you have to be able to flush almost any ROM using CWM.

Touch HD is ruined, please help NOW! IMPORTANT!

My phone works perfectly except I can't answer calls, when I press answer/ignore it freezes until it goes to voicemail and then comes back. I've flashed multiple roms and had the problem with all of them. I'm not using any special themes or anything, and the only software I ever install are HD Tweak and Finger Keyboard 2.1 and my radio 1.14.25.24. Here's a list of what I've done since I had the phone:
1. Bought phone. Flashed HSPL. Flashed Laurentius L26, no problems. Was being lazy so I didn't hard reset after flashing.
2. Flashed Dutty R14. Didn't hard reset after flashing. No problems for awhile and then the problem of not being able to answer calls appeared.
3. Flashed EnergyRom wm6.5 rom. Hard reset twice after. Still having problem where I can't answer calls.
4. Flashed Dutty 3.9XT wm6.1 rom. Hard reset twice after. Still having problem where I can't answer calls.
If anyone can help me figure out why my phone is doing this I'd really appreciate it, I'll even pay you some money on PayPal if you like because I really want to fix it. Here are some ideas I had as to why it's not working:
- Problem with rom flash. No, because I tried it with 3 different roms so far and had the same problem.
- Touch HD isn't fast enough to run wm6.5 and be stable. No, because I tried it with a wm6.1 rom too and had the same problem.
- Someone suggested it might be a problem with the battery. No, because I ordered new replacement batteries and tried them and had the same problem.
- Some of the settings in HD Tweak are incompatible with something in the roms I'm using. Maybe, is this possible? I don't really change much, just the softkeys and the highlight color and things like that.
- Screwed up something in the SPL or something because I didn't hard reset after flashing the first 2 roms. Maybe, is this possible?
- Dropped my phone and somehow managed to break nothing but the mechanism involved in answering calls. Maybe, is this possible?
Today I'm going to reflash HSPL, flash the stock HTC rom, hard reset twice, and see if I still have the problem. I don't know what else to do or what other possibilities there are. If anyone can shed some light on this issue, that would be great, because I really don't want to have to buy a new phone. Thanks
Did you try another SIM?

Hi rpimps,
I think that would be a good idea, flash back to stock, check for any differences, if everything works ok, then try flashing to a custom ROM again.
It might be an idea to try out a different radio version, for example, try 1.17 as this could improve certain built in feaures of your phone, especially since radio versions are known to work only in specific regions, it may work out better for you overall
Also, if not already cooked into the custom ROM of your choice, you should also install the RIL version that matches your radio version - 1.17 Radio supports RIL version 1.14 (1.14.25.24), which you can download the RIL via this link, at the bottom of post #1 - read this section as it also explains how to install the RIL.
I recently remember another member mention that their phone would sometimes hang when/after receiving a call, this was solved by installing the associated RIL - a layer in an operating system which provides an interface to the hardware's radio and modem.
Best regards.
Just to see if call mechansm works;
- try to record something (to check mic)
- try front speaker (i dont know how to do this)
- check if vibration works. (vibrate on connect may be on)
I guess your gsm radio works well since you can receive calls. Try to use windows original phone canvas instead of touchflo 3d. Dont know what to check more Its strange.

Here's what I did today:
1. Reflashed HSPL. Hard reset.
2. Couldn't find a working stock rom so I just reflashed Dutty 3.9XT. Hard reset.
3. Installed 1.17 radio and rilphone 1.14 like you recommended.
4. Didn't install anything else. Tested phone right after install and it's still having the problem.

I can call other people and it works fine. And actually about 10% of the time I CAN answer calls, and when it works it works perfectly. But 90% of the time it won't let me answer.
I might just have to put this phone on ebay and go back to my Diamond

that's a shame dude, not sure what else to suggest... it sounds like a hardware related issue as you have repeatedly tried flashing different firmware one on the phone... i suppose it's not under warranty?

It's only a few months old so it might be, but doesn't flashing spl/roms void the warranty?

Unfortunately, it breaks the warranty aggreement. So e-bay is a good idea, I guess.
P.S: I heard from someone that you can go back to stock rom then you can still use your guarantee. But I'm not sure if they can see that you reflashed it or not.

From what I have read, if you flash back to the exact stock ROM which was installed on your phone when you had received it, then this will not affect your warranty - if you decide to return your phone (assuming it is still under warranty) just make sure you downgrade to Stock ROM and Radio version, with no trace of HSPL or USPL also, or else you will have to pay them money if they (HTC) find out
EDIT: Please follow these steps to restore back to your stock ROM version:
1. First, be sure to restore your stock OS, and then the stock radio. The Stock SPL is always to be done last!
2. Download your choice of a stock spl package from the link shown below. (currently 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.54)
3. Also download the original hardspl from the link shown below.
4. Run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. Just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.
5. The SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
6. Continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
7. To verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000 or any other version ending in .0000, but not ending in OliNex!
that's it.
Please refer to the following link for more information and the necessary files you will require to re-flash back to Stock (see and read the last section of post #1):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
Regards.
p.s. also remember to flash back to the original Radio version of the phone, if required.
There are several stock ROMs linked in the Blackstone Wiki, flash back to one of those and see if your problem is still there. If it is, send it back for a Warranty repair - as long as there is a stock SPL and ROM image on your phone, you Warranty will be intact.
what i dont see is mention of ho u are answeing the calls.
there or at least three ways
1. the on screen prompt. i assuming this is the one that freezes
2. the answe key at the bottom left of the phone
3. the htc headphones im assuming you have
have u tried using all three of these methods to answer calls??

Installed Android on stock windows phone

Hello,
I have been reading quite a bit here including all the stuff about ensuring that I don't brick the phone and which roms to install etc. etc.
Anyhow, I couldn't find any detailed threads about folks who might've tried installing Android on stock windows.
I went ahead and tried using it today and android did load up fine. Everything seems to work perfectly. The only issue is that the dialer freezes when I am dialing numbers and I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me. So I will try another android flavor.
What I wanted to confirm was that if I am using Android on default windows, is there a chance I can brick my phone?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Impossible to brick your phone because its just running off the mem card I've been running android on a stock rom for about a month now, just make sure you've got an appropriate radio version etc...
cool..thanks for your response..
also, what do you mean by the radio version? I basically installed, http:/ /forum.xda-developers.com/s howthread.php?t=740963
that's all i did. Do you mean to say I have to install a radio version separately?
Thanks

What version of the HD2 do you have? T-Mobile US?
I used my stock UK O2 172. ROM
1st HSPL
2nd Updated Radio
3rd Loaded Darkstone Froyo
I haven't had any probs and android is running fine.

I should've been more specific. Yes it is a tmobile US version.
I just recently go android working on my tmous phone using stock rom. I had to do the following to get it 100% functional
1) Install HSPL3 and flash the radio to version 2.12 (it actually said something like 2.08 in the HSPL app)
2) Flash to ChuckyROM lite
3) Copy darkstones Froyo 2.2 build to sd card
Thats it, everything works now. I had the same problems as you so I would take this route if I were you. Keep in mind that flashing to chuckrom is going to replace the windows theme you normally see when you start your phone. From there you can use the included Android launcher utility so you can then quickly boot up android instead of windows.
Personally I could care less what windows rom/theme is loaded since my goal is to convert to Android completely. Although I will say that I immediately noticed an improvent in windows overall thanks to the ChuckyROM tweaks. If you choose to run chucky isntead of android it's a nice breath of fresh air, much more responsive, faster, and logically laid out.
Couple of caveats:
1) Bluetooth phone use is a little wonky. For instance, sometimes when I'm streaming music to my car stereo and I receive a phone call, the mic shuts down and I cant place any more phone calls without rebooting, even though music streaming continues to function.
2) On occasion the touchscreen will lock up. All I have to do is hit the windows key to bring up a context menu and then close it, touchscreen starts responding again.
3) I've been running stable for 3 days, however the phone did reboot itself for no reason and get stuck once. I had to do a battery pull to boot back into chuckyrom/android.
All in all it's been a dream though and well worth the experience. Windows 6.5 is so utterly broken as a phone OS words cannot describe. I feel like I've been using Windows 3.1 on my PC compared to this. The few glitches in the Android ports are entirely worth the hassle, and very minor. And to think, it's only going to get better!

[Q] Problem with Froyo Build(noob here)

I'm willing to accept advice, and criticism so be gentle. So I got put the froyo build on my htc hd2 and everything ran smoothly until I tried to make a call. Their was a robotic voice instead of a regular one(I know this is a common problem).
I've read many guides on installing the froyo build but I'm not very good with this stuff and I rather have some explain to me step by step what to upload to fix it and how to run it on my Leo.
My current specs(while using WinMo):
RAM size:576 MB
Flash Size:1024 MB
Data Bus:32 Bits
ROM Version:2.13.531.1(90963)WWE
Radio Version:2.10.50.26
If needed I can post more specs, but yeah I just need direction in fixing the robotic voice. Please and thank you!
So you're using an sd build then? Try rebooting the build several times. SD builds need to be rebooted several times for them to stabilize.
If it is a NAND build, then each one should have specific instructions on how to fix the robotic voice, eg darkstone's super ram has specific instructions on how to fix robotic voice in his build.
Sometimes changing the radio fixes it, but that has never worked for me, i just kept on restarting until it was gone.
Some reports of WM roms being the case too. Sadly i can't remember which WM rom builds are recommended to fix, either way, chucky droid, or those roms built for android should help.
I'm using darkstones build, where are the instructions on how to fix it? Hmm would restarted it work with DS build? And also the phone in general is glitchy/laggy as the buttons react slowly. My last question is about a dual uploader because everytime i reboot it changes back to Windows.
I would recommend changing ROM and radio. If you do a little searching, mskip put out a great beginners guide.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I meant if it was a NAND build, meaning if the build was something you installed to phone memory, and not your sd card, he has specific instuctions on how to fix it in his thread.
For sd build, as said, changing radio, winmo rom, or rebooting can fix it.
You mean a dual booter? Just search it up here, it's not hard to find a dual booter and there is plenty. And yes, after you restart, the phone goes back to winmo, it's supposed to be like that.

[Q] Newly registered newbie

I have a HD2 that I plan on installing Android on (currently WinMo 6.5), as it's cheaper, I hope, than buying a new phone. I have a step by step guide to follow, along with all the files I need, like HSPL3, MGLDR, and CWM, etc. All I need now is the ROM build. My confusion lies in the fact that the ones I look at seem to be for US T-Mobile HD2's, and mine is an unbranded UK model. I also keep seeing references to LEO512 or LEO1024? I'm pretty sure what I want is on here, but the sheer number of threads/posts will take me forever to work through! Can some kind soul point me in the right direction and I'll take it from there? Thanks.
With the ported android roms you havent to fear to destroy your device flashing a wrong rom.
This issue is only related to wm 6.5 roms/radios.
...you only have to decide if you want to throw wm6.5 away and use a nand build or keep wm6.5 and use a sd build.
Experience
From experience I'd recommend Typhoon rom

Ok. Just watched a video of the HyperDroid install, looks pretty straight forward. But it doesn't have the Sense UI, which I like. CyanogenMod 7 doesn't appear to have it either? (I also don't see the link to the download for CM7 either, but I'm guessing I'm stupid or blind?)
you want any rom that supports the eu leo with 512 in the title

Hey,
1st of all welcome, 2nd - be prepared... android can be very addictive.
As for your questions, LEO512 = European with 512mb rom (which you have) & LEO1024 = tmoUS with 1024mb rom.
If you prefer sense based roms you wont really go wrong with any build from Rafpina, imilka, Sergio76 or cmylxgo. Tho ive found RAFDROID HD builds are very stable & fast, also very straight forward to setup (tho there is NO Best rom id say this is a good starting point)

Yup 2nd that !
Rafdroid is still my favorite everyday build because of the sense widgets which show my emails, news etc on the 'desktop'.
Just about everything works in that build and is a perfect step from WM to Android.
First I would have a go with Android on the SD-card as it also works like it should and should be extreemly simple if you have a correct radio (ver 2,08 and above I thought). Should be easy to check in the software version tab all the way on the right hand side I believe.
After playing with it you can still decide if you want to go natively Android or not.
There are backup tools like Titanium pro which are worth the money.
I betcha will also enjoy the Android market!
And .... welcome to the group!
Thanks for the welcome.
I've decided I'll wipe and install to the Nand memory, I already have a Hero and love Android and the way I can customise it. Will try the process tonight.
Ok. Been at this for a while now, but I'm stumped.
Step one was install HSPL3. Went without a hiccup, no problems.
Step 2 was to install the radio. Chose EUradio (radio leo 5.15.50.14). However, I've tried half a dozen times, Windows says I am connected and I get to the HTC screen with a progress bar but then after 2-3 mins, I get an error message saying there is no communication.
Have tried:
1. different usb ports
2. loading into bootloader screen (coloured bars). Initially it says serial but then switches to USB after a short while. Tried from there, no luck.
3. rebooted the pc, and phone multiple times.
I did a search on the forum for 'no USB communication' but I get different threads bouncing about, none getting the same as me. Any ideas welcomed.

If you want to use ROM Manager with hour HD2 you will have to use cLK for your custom Android bootloader and not MAGLDR. Go and check out the "ROM Manager Now Supports HD2" thread and you can get more info on it there, it os a short bit accurate tutorial post on page two of the thread, it is only three pages right now anyway so not a lot of reading to do.

Do you have the latest version of ActiveSync or WMDC, depending on what Windows your computer uses, installed on your computer? You need the most upcto sate versions of these to flash straight through bootloader.

Yes. I'm running Win7 x64, everything is up to date. I did read you are supposed to turn off any antivirus? I'm using M$ Security Essentials. Would this affect it?

3. rebooted the pc, and phone multiple times.
I did a search on the forum for 'no USB communication' but I get different threads bouncing about, none getting the same as me. Any ideas welcomed.

Hi,
You should be using :
radio version 2.15.50.14,which you can get here:
http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
"Initially it says serial but then switches to USB after a short while."
When it changes to USB ,that is the time to start flashing the radio.
Forgot to ask earlier, should I be removing the sim card while doing this? I've been putting in a spare one so I don't affect my 'real' one.

It should not make any difference.
I never take mine out when I change ROMS etc.

My apologies. It was a typo error earlier. I have been trying 2.15.50.14, it failed so I tried 2.08.50.05 + task29. Neither worked. Just downloaded from the link you posted, in case my file was corrupt, exactly the same, comms error (Error 262).

No. Still wont work. Will not run task29, get the same 'Error 262'..
As it was bought sim free, could there be something on it blocking the software? Or on my pc?

[Q] Task 29 problem

I'm sorry i know it's against the rules to be starting a new thread but it's been a week i've been asking for help and no one noticed. This is just a try to come noticed.
I installed task 29 on my blackstone. I had olinex 1.56 installed and later did the task29 with radio 1.13, 1.14 and 1.17 After successfully doing it i went on step 2 that is installing a clean rom. I tried these roms
blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1
RUU_TOUCH_HD_MARYONE_23148_WWE_191110
WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.Shipped ROm
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship(3)
They get installed but after i store the contacts and everything it gets stuck if kept for like half an hr. The screen doesn't respond but power button and the volume button works.
I took my phone to a repair center and they couldn't fix it. So please help me i've just got only one phone.
I don't mean to offend any moderators by this but i'm just asking for your help. Thank You
Try reinstalling stock ROM after Task 29.
Restore ONLY contacts, and then try using device for several days.
DO NOT install any other software!!!
If it works, then problem is in some data or software you're restoring.
If not, restore original SPL and original ROM and try again.
If it does not work... and service can not help you... then sorry...
Hello i did reinstall the stock rom after task 29 and i was using pimbackup for restoring but that freezed my phone so i installed the stock rom again and thought of not using it. Did that but nothing much helped.
I hope believe these are the correct shipped roms
WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.Shipped ROm
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.3 4_1.13.25.24_Ship(3)
Everything on xda has worked like wonders for me. Be it android on any other rom but right after task29 nothing seems to be working on my phone.
One thing i've noticed after installing any rom after task29 is if i get to the bootloader it gets me to a 1 sec white screen saying no image found. I hope what's causing a problem.
Do you understand WHAT Task 29 is?
It formats the partition drive of your device where the ROM resides. Meaning, it wipes any data regarding ROM.
So of course it would say "No image found".
I don't know which ROM is stock for your device. Try to update ROM via HTC site.
If lucky, it will suggest / let you find adequate ROM.
For my device it's 1.56.407.2 (German)!
If unlucky, it will say "Not supported" or something like that - then go for Orange 1.59.61.2 ROM.
And you might try one 1.5x ROM flash WITHOUT Task 29...
Just try installing stock ROM by stock RUU with USB cable. It will format data for you so you do not need any task 29 before flashing. If it doesn't work, try NOT restoring your contacts.
Thanks will do it and keep yu updated with it..

Thanks i tried installing the stock rom like you told me but then got stuck on the screen alignment screen. I later installed blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1 and now it's responding to every touch. Thanks alot. I hope this stays like this and yes instead of restoring i forwarded all the contacts through bluetooth. Owe you a BiiiiiiiiiiiiG thanks..
Too soon to be happy as same again..I don't think there should be a problem with touch as it works fine for first 1hr but right after something gets stored by something i mean contacts it stops reponding after sometime. The volume and power button work all fine. I can't make out the problem. Any ideas or suggestions. Shall i make a video and post ??
FIRST you have to make it work with factory settings - stock SPL and stock ROM.
After that flash what you like...
I think you have to follow Bodisson's suggestion, do everything as stock and retest without restoring anything. If it still failed...... you should have it repaired
Good luck!!
I had a very bad flash when I first tried Cloudy 0.7.
Unstable and freezing clock in TouchFLO (but NOT system clock!), crashing programs, very slow satelite lock with radio 1.17 on, sudden autolocking/unlocking...
So I did Task29, put on stock ROM (latest German 6.1), after that latest Orange to get newer radio, and after that Cloudy's 0.7.
Now I'm happy so far...
And I'll stick with radio 1.14 for now since it uses a bit less battery than 1.17...

Glad to see somebody researching things out and settling on a radio he prefers due to performance rather than those just going for latest
I totally agree with spartan on this one. It's better to stick with old one's for performance rather than having problems with the latest one's. My device is working better than before but it does get stuck. I'm using stock rom with 6.1 and want to switch to 6.5 so looking for some compatible 6.5 rom with radio 1.14 maybe
Bodisson can you tell me all what you're using bro so that i can tr it on with my device.

All rom's should work with each radio to be honest. Glad your device is working better, though still a little baffled why you're still having difficulties
EDIT - You are on a wm6.1 rom. Is the rom based on 1.56+, if not you may need to revert to HSPL 1.14
I know it got me bedazzled as well as i've flashed couple of times before but never faced any such difficulties. I even tried android on my phone and everything worked like charm. RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship is what i'm using at the moment. I did try to flash it again with a 6.5 version rom but still gets stuck. The phone does get stuck once in a while if it is kept unused for a while so don't exactly know how to go on about it.
P.S: I know how hard it is to control things as an admin as i myself run a group. Photography in my case. Cheers

I'm baffled but still want to get to the bottom of your issue and would appreciate any help from other members who may have idea's on how to solve your issue. From what I've read everything you have done is correct, but I don't like being stumped!!
If we start from the start, we may get to the bottom of this........
Ok it all started when i tried installing task 29. I flashed my blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1 rom thinking task 29 will work awesomely fast with some newer version as it'll get installed as the default rom.
My phone started freezing like anything right after i flashed it with task 29. Right now my device is running on 1.56.405.1(43972) WWE and 1.13.25.24 rom and freezes again once in a while.
Just waiting for some miracle to make it work fine again.

Well as you know a T29 formats device so you need to flash a rom or you'll be stuck at boot screen. Before you do a T29 it states you must have HSPL on your device first. Now from what I've read you did have HSPL on first and your T29 worked as you where stuck at boot screen afterwards.
I'm assuming you turned device off, booted into bootloader then flashed youir rom (blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1) which is based on 1.56+ as was your HSPL.
This all seems correct so I'm not sure what went wrong.
Is above all correct?
Did you try a T29 again and flash different rom or did you just flash different rom over existing?
I did task 29 on blackSTONEhengeHyPerSlim_4_1 and tried installing RUU_TOUCH_HD_MARYONE_23148_WWE_191110 in this process i started task 29 first and flashed it with radio 1.14 by placing the radio and task29 in same folder. Once done it got stuck with windows mobility. After that i restarted on bootloader once again and flashed it with RUU_TOUCH_HD_MARYONE_23148_WWE_191110 . It does get installed but then freezes on configuring device for first time use and then freezes big time on the screen for alignment. I had 1.56 installed before flashing with task 29. If the whole thing bypasses the align screen the rom will keep freezing big time.
That's been the whole issue.

Right, I never put any files in same folder as it only confuses flashing process and can cause issues. I.e. put T29 in its own folder, radio 1.14 in its own folder and then rom in another folder.
Do a T29 and when its complete, I.e. stuck in smart mobility screen. Then you take out battery to turn phone off. After this put phone into bootloader and flash rom. Then flash radio after it as a lot of roms have a radio file included
