[Q] How can I boot WM 6.5 After Installing MAGLDR 1.13

It is said that you have to hold the power button to load MAGLDR after resetting the phone, but when I reset the phone it automatically boots to MAGLDR, instead of WM 6.5. Can you guys tell me how to access WM 6.5 from MAGLDR?

I forgot to mention that I always get this message before it boots to MAGLDR after resetting.
Rebooting Android from SD
Android loads at 11000000
From MicroSD
Load zIMAGE
K:\ zIMAGE
SD Kernal Open Failed.
Should I be concerned?
I haven't installed Android yet, but I'm in the process of installing Clockwork 1.3

I also tried to do a factory reset through MAGLDR, but it only goes back to the MAGLDR main screen. Help? Please?

First of all, use the "edit post" button to add text to the first post instead of making two new
Yesterday I got the exact same problem. Someone said that it is because the MAGLDR can't see the wrongly flashed ROM. However, I did not notice that it is something wrong with it.
What ROM do you have and which HSPL version ?
I had WinMo 1.46 stock and HSPL 2.08

my apologies.
stock? i'm using Radio 2.15 HSPL 2.08
did you correct your problem?
would it be safe to manually hard reset?

You can't boot Windows Mobile 6.5 if you have MAGLDR installed. But there is simply way back - just run RUU with stock 1.48 ROM on your PC, while having your HD2 connected to PC (phone has to be in bootloader, that rainbow screen).

I didn't correct my problem. I had to flash WinMo back from the SD card but the raven_raven's method is also possible.
So raven, why I can't boot into WinMo with MAGLDR? I've seen many people doing that by not keeping the power button pressed

From what I know, it's impossible to boot into WM6.5 if you have MAGLDR on your device. Its purpose is to load Linux kernel, not WM .

I'm kinda confused right now

If you flashed MAGLDR, why would you want to use WinMo? The main purpose of MAGLDR is to boot Android/WP7 on the NAND. It over-writes the WinMo you had on it before.
The error you're getting, you shouldn't be worried about it at all. All it is is that you haven't flashed a ROM yet. What do you mean you're in the process of flashing Clockwork? It's not hard... just flash the DFT file on your PC via the USB Flasher option and you'll have Clockwork. Then you install your .zip ROM, reboot and you won't get an error anymore as you'll have a ROM flashed.

Thanks for the help. It is greatly appreciated.
I can't access the USB Flasher. When I connect my phone to my PC, my SD card doesn't show up, instead, its recognized as an "unspecified" MAGLDR driver. I can't do anything with that.
But I can access my SD card through USB Mass Storage, but I don't want to install DFT on Mass Storage when I'm told to use USB Flasher. I don't want to do anything stupid

the usb flasher option is not to mount your sd card, it is just used to flash files/roms via daf.exe. use the usb flasher to install clockworkmod1.3, once that is done boot back into magldr and go to ad recovery, and recovery should start. from there you can mount as usb mass storage. i belive the one in magldr doesn't work very well, or at all for some, the one in clockwork always seems to work well for me.

guys its simple your not supposed to use MAGLDR if your going ot go back WM6.5.
tunr your phone off. hold the volume down button and press the power button, do not let go of the volume button, its going to bring you a tri colored screen. once your in that screen plug in your USB cable to the phone and to your computer. once that is doen flash a official WM6.5 rom let it do what it does,its going to restart and there you go back on WM6.5

there is no way you can boot Win 6.5 if you got MAGLDR, never seen it here
(unless someone shows a video or something)
the only way that can be achieved is to go into bootloader (tricolor screen)
and flash Win 6.5

I thought MAGLDR was for dualbooting. I wanted to go back to 6.5 in case I ran into any problems with the android builds Nontheless, I successfully installed Cyanogenmod, and it works perfectly. I dont think i'll be going back to 6.5.
Thanks for the help, it was greatly appreciated.

Hold volume down and power button when turning the phone on, it will get you into tree color screen...then plug your phone into pc .....on the of run rom installer for win 6.5 and after it is done you should be able to boot into win 6.5.

Hi guys!
I have the same problem.
my question is if I the official ROM is it going to erase/format the old one that I had?
The reason is that I did not backup everything and it would be nice if I could go back and get the rest of my contacts...
Is there any way of having a dual boot
BEWARE: complete noob!!!

Are you honestly incapable of reading? What kind of complete MORON flashes something to their phone without a full knowledge of exactly what it will do?! If you install WinMo again you will have lost all of your data that is on the internal storage of your phone, and to be honest you deserve it if you are stupid enough to flash something without reading about what it does.
On a more positive note, you can flash NAND Android instead of reflashing WinMo if you want, using this guide. Since you would go ahead and flash this without reading up about it, I should probably warn you that IT WILL DELETE WINMO FROM YOUR PHONE! Is that clear enough for you?

Stuck on "Go Go Go"

Hey guys, I've managed to install MAGLDR on my HD2, and I have tried to install CWM.
First I tried v1.3 and everything went OK till i got stuck on the "Go Go Go" screen.
Then I tried v1.2 using my SD card, but i still end up with the same problem.
The thing is I don't have any ROM installed on my HD2 so I can't do anything more !
Would greatly appreciate your help =)

do you use MAGLDR 1.13?
did you try and reinstall your ROM?

Do you use a compatible radio?

Yep I'm on 1.13
I can't do much more, my HD2 won't even boot into the bootloader ! I'm basically stuck on MAGLDR with no ROM and no ability to install back a standard windows ROM

I followed the steps carefully, so it should be OK but how can I be sure ?

Make sure your battery pins aren't loose. Push them back with your finger and try again.

Tried about everything I could hardware-wise without tearing it apart... unfortunately the battery pins don't change anything.
Quite a few members seem to be facing the same problem recently: no access to the bootloader, stuck on MALDR... wonder what's the problem.
The only thing I can do is run WP7 on it, which is not very usable.

i made this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945427
maybe it helps?

Thanks yz.hd but I can't get to the bootloader (volume down + power only brings me to MAGLDR), nor CWM...

It's not possible to only be able to get to MAGLDR and not bootloader I don't think. Just hold down the volume button and then power on while still holding down the power button and see what happens. I had a problem like that where my HD2 would get stuck at "1234" and then stopped and rebooted. The battery pins where the cause.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I've tried loads of times, the combo volume down + power really doesn't bring anything up, no matter which way I put it... a complete mystery !

So you've tried to install CWM? Did it work or not? Are you able to go to the USB flasher in Magldr? And install it again, try to see if the AD Recovery works?

Yep, I tried again, the USB flasher works perfectly fine, CWM installs perfectly. But when I go to Ad recovery, it still stays on "Go Go Go!".
Same thing if i install CWM via my SD card

Try formatting SD card (you will lose your data). Try again.
How long does it hang?
If that doesn't work, try to install a DAF rom, and see what happens.

you probably don't have the 'copy to sd' folder in the root of your sd?

What do you mean by a DAF Rom ? One that is directly bootable from MAGLDR ? I have tried a WP7 rom which works ok. But I still can't install a bootloader to bring it back to WP 6.5 and start the process all over again to install CWM...
@DKxda: is it necessary to have a folder ? I copied the two files directly in the root of my SD.

DAF rom is a rom that doesn't use CWM to run (directly from magldr).

Nope I'm still stuck on Go Go Go if I want to install a DAF Android ROM (no problem with WP7 ROMs though)...

Sorry mate, I'm out of options you could try (well, install CLK, but you need the bootloader for that...)
Hope someone else will help you fix this!
Edit: When does it get stuck at go go go? Immediately at boot or after selecting Boot AD Nand?
You can try to ask it in the Magldr Thread, cause it seems like a Magldr problem to me...

Well, since yesterday I'm getting a similar issue!
Stuck at go go go or just after on the boot screen which is completely messed I get the top 1/4 screen ok, the rest is bad lines, then the bottom half is dark.
Yesterday I tried installing a CM7 build for my HD2... stuck at Android logo...
So I reflashed CWM Recovery 400Mb partition ok, restored my last backup and rebooted... Now I have this issue all the time!
Tried my many backups, reflashing CWM Recovery a couple of times, factory reset from CWM or MAGLDR...
Nothing will do!
Is my HD2 dead or what????

[Q] Flashing CWM via ROM Manager Edit: or cLK

Hello. The USB Connector from a friend is broken and not usable anymore. Now we want to try ICS on his mobile and therefore we need a bigger Recovery Layout.
Its not possible to flash CWM with the edited flash.cfg via USB. But it is possible to flash CWM via ROM Manager.
What i want to know now is, is it possible to set the size of the system and cache (like we can do it in flash.cfg on PC) with ROM Manager as well? And if yes, how?
Sent from my NexusHD2

im pretty sure not (never used it, but also never seen that mentioned as possible, and im sure such a feature would be well discussed), , also, rom manager doesn't work if you are using magldr.

You cannot do this with magldr, BUT YOU CAN WITH CLK!!!!!
cLK 1.5rc has the ability to flash via sd card, and was made by a user with a broken usb port on his hd2. CWM is bundled with clk, and you can repartition straight from the device. No PC required!
Theres some pros and cons to clk that you should be aware of. The biggest downside is clk only supports ppp data connections which are faster but less reliable (you may experience data drops). Reports show this isn't as bad in ICS as it was in GB. Also, please be aware when flashing ROMS, you will need to flash a clk-compatible kernel after flashing the ROM, or the ROM will not boot (most devs include a clk kernel link for their ROM's)
On the plus side, you can repartiton recovery straight from device, charge the phone while off, use ROM Manager, and the GUI looks a lot like the stock HBOOT on native Android HTC devices.
cLK 1.5 rc0
How to flash:
1.make sure you have hspl
2.rename the nbh file as LEOIMG.nbh and place in root of sdcard.
3.enter SPL by holding VOL DOWN key while powering/resting the phone.
4.Press power button to install the nbh and then take out the battery for a second and power the device up.

Thanks i will do this now. Wanted to test clk for a while. And I thought there might could be a config file for rom manager.
Doesnt sounds that bad
Sent from my NexusHD2

Hehe no it's not bad at all I think the pros outweigh the cons, add the fact that magldr is over a year old now with no updates and its kind of a no-brainer
Once you've flashed clk hold the back arrow key at boot to enter the UI.

Ok, i've copied the LEOIMG.nbh to the root of my sd-card, started into SPL. But now when i press the powerbutton nothing happens. Shouldnt there come an install statusbar?
If i take out the battery, powering it up and holding down the back button MAGLDR loads.
There is one file in the cLK 1.5-rc0 (LEOIMG.nbh) but 76 files in cLK 1.4.0.1?

Leave v1.4.0.1 alone, thats old, made by a different person and not flashable via sd card. v1.5 rc0 is the one you want.
You do mean HSPL and not SPL yes? It looks as though HSPL isn't noticing the leoimg.nbh file, or you're not entering update mode in HSPL. Keep holding vol down after SPL is booted, until you see 'loading...'
If this doesn't work, I'd try using a different sd card if you have one lying around (formatted to fat32), with nothing else on it but the nbh. I've heard unconfirmed reports leoimg is case sensitive, so you could try it in all lowercase if the above methods fail.
Let me know how you get on.

Doesnt work. I did try a different SD Card, formatted to Fat32. The only file on it is the leoimg.nbh.
When im holding down the VolDown button while starting it appears the 3Colored Screen (SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G etc, CotullaHSPL).
And there is no message with "loading" only a "Serial" appears.
I've read that there should come a grey screen which asks me if i want to install leoimg.nbh? But there is nothing...

I'm sorry you're having trouble. Flashing by sd card is a bit hit-and-miss, but afaik its your only solution. All I can say is keep trying! Keep holding down vol down after tri-colour screen, or try briefly letting go of vol down when hspl appears, then quickly press again. Try switching from uppercase to lowercase or vice versa. Hopefully you'll get there eventually.
Again, let me know how you get on.

Tried my 32gb sd card, tried my 16gb sd card. nothing worked.
Now i've tried my 8gb sd card from my 5800 nokia and for some reason it works...
I am now able to install leoimg.nbh. (it appears automaticly to install leoimg.nbh, after loading in HSPL with VolDown button)
And i dont know why?
I have to check the format of the 8gb sd card, although i've formatted the 16gb sd card (which was locked by WP7) with my nokia 5800 about an half an hour ago..
So the 16gb should have worked as well.. weird.
Any suggestions to the problem with the sd card?
Edit: Update success. Im hopefully now loading into cLK.
Edit2: I'm in. Now i have to figure out how to resize the Recovery layout (of CWM) to 220mb for installing ICS.
Edit3: That was just easy
Thank you very much, jwchips. Much appreciate it

Aaaah typical, it would be the one thing I didn't mention! There has been reported issues when using sd cards larger than 8GB (but I've managed to use 16GB cards before, which is why I didn't mention it). At least now you know what the problem was..
Glad it all worked out!

As always, yeah
Again, thanks.

4.0 ICS doesn't boot
Hey there
just installed successfully following ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354267
with CWM.
After seeing "Install from sdcard complete" I "reboot system now" and it starts booting like always "123456 GO GO GO" but than the black screen with the green HTC letters just stays....
Left it like that for approx. 30 mins before I started trying other roms, with the same result.
PLS HELP...

Which recovery size do you have? And which version do you want to flash, MAGLDR or cLK?
And you have to flash CWM with an edited flash.cfg.
For ICS and many other ROMS i am using following config (open up the flash.cfg file that comes with the CMW installer; do this with Notepad++):
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 220M
cache ya 5M

you cant access files through bootloader. only run flashes.

Ok can you give me a good ROM and the latest android ( i changed computer since last) and i forgot how to do it. I made it through SD card before, but you mean you can flash it through USB. Sorry for being noob, just want to have my phone back for many reasons.

no you don't flash android through usb, you flash magldr through usb in bootloader mode, then you start magldr, and enter usb flasher mode (but this time in magldr, not in bootloader) and you flash clockworkrecovery, and THEN you enter magldr, enter cwm, and THEN you flash android from sd card.

everyone was a noob once.
start reading, if i spoon feed you you wont learn anything, and next time you want to change you will be back here again saying 'sorry im a noob, i dont know how to do it"
In brief
enter bootloader (where you are now)
connect usb
flash magldr
(if you already have magldr start here)
restart the phone,
enter magldr
choose USB flasher
use the 'nand toolkit' to flash the required partition size as described in teh first post of whatever rom you choose. (Every rom needs a different size)
restart the phone
enter magldr
choose 'ad recovery'
this starts clockwork
in clockwork choose 'mounts and storage - mount usb'
you can now see your sd card from the PC, copy over the .zip for the rom you want.
in cwm choose install zip from sd, choose the zip you copied, restart the phone

Need help urgently, HTC HD2 stuck wiped :(

Hey guys
So, I finally managed to get on my PC to try and install WP7, but I think I failed.
I'm going to list what I did below.
1. Booted phone into bootloader (has Android installed from previous owner)
2. Installed Activesync on PC
3. Went into HD2ToolKit, did a Task29, then flashed MAGLDR 1.13 (2.08 HSPL already installed)
4. In MAGLDR, I went to Services and did Last24NAND and Wipe Sd MBR
5. Went and selected USB Flasher
6. Opened DWI.exe from YukiBackToTheFuture folder, which flashed fine.
7. Went to boot into it, but it hangs at splash screen.
What can I do? I need help urgently, because I need this phone for tomorrow. I don't know how to reinstall Android, and I have no access to a PC until Saturday.

Help! 
CJ

Click on the guide in my Sig and red up on the old method of MAGLDR booting Clockwork Mod Recovery from SD card. Just go to the section on Clockwork Mod Recovery. You will also have to down load a .zip of a android ROM on to another SD card as WP7 formats your SD card with a RAID format so it will be usless until you do a low level format and then a fat 32 format. You can use another phone if someone will let you to download a Android ROM, use WiFi if possible so you do not eat up your friends data. Make sure you move the ROM to the root of the SD card, Leningrad it is not in a folder. Place the two files for Clockwork mode on the root of the SD card too. Boot your phone into MAGLDR by holding down the home button while you boot your HD2. When MAGLDR is booted up place the SD card in your HD2 and then select AD SD and it will boot Clockwork Mod Recovery. Then select install from SD card, select from SD card, and then find the ROM and select it. Let the ROM flash and then reboot your HD2 and it should boot into the Android ROM.
