Hi
It's probably been asked before but I still have trouble finding my way through this forum...
It's the first time I tried to install Android on my HD2. I got the newest Radio and was able to install Magldr. I wanted to try the Team Blue Droid Version ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275119 ) and got to the step where I should hit "AD Recovery" in the boot menue. Sadly, it says "no boot scources"
I copied the zip-file onto my SD-Card, shouldn't it be able to find it? Or do I have to do something else?
And on a side note: is it possible to go back and get my old windows 6.5 running again? I'm kind of panicking here ^^°
I would be very, very happy if somebody would be able to help me.
Seems that you've not installed ClockworkMod with correct partition layout for this rom.
Without CWM you could not boot into AD Recovery to flash your rom.

I am STUCK in an annoying situation, which leads me to ask if it's possible to flash CWR (as in the recovery itself) without plugging into the PC.
Why, you ask? Here's the situation (in sorta chronological sequence):
MAGLDR installed and working fine
USB port totally screwed (repaired twice, no avail)
Been flashing ROMs through AD Recovery (CWR) with no problems
Downloaded ROM Manager and clicked on the 'Flash Clockwork Recovery' and chose HTC HD2(nowhere in the frickin' app does it say it only works with cLK and not MAGLDR)
Now whenever I try to boot into AD Recovery through MAGLDR, I get an error 'Invalid Header something'
So, thanks to ROM Manager for stuffing up my CW Recovery, I can't flash any ROMs. MAGLDR still works fine and I can use my current ROM, but i'm totally stuck.
I don't like starting a new thread and begging for help, but i've searched everywhere and i'm running out of ideas.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get back to flashing without the USB, I would most definitely be appreciative.

try to boot into recovery from sd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987531 download recovery_4.0.1.4_leo_sd.zip put the 2 files in the root of sd and from magldr run the "boot ad sd" option
yes. i m using the above method after my CWM corrupted by ROM Manager
It Worked!
Dudes, genius, just genius.. Never thought of that.. Thanks man, finally had my flash fix, the withdrawals were starting to come on pretty bad..
The only thing is not being able to flash the nand recovery from the sd booted recovery, but no biggy, just leave the files for the sd boot and problem solved.. Really appreciate it amigos..
(Sorry for the late reply btw, had 'reservist' -Singapore thing where they make you go back to the army- for the past few days)

I'm a noob and getting really frustrated.
I Wipe (Type 29) my phone and reinstalled MAGLDR v1.13, Radio & HSPL 2.08 just fine with HD2 Android NAND Toolkit. I can't get CWM on my phone to save my life. When I go to AD Recovery it says "No boot source" and I don't know how to get it back so I can load a new ROM.
PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
you said youve flashed hspl, radio, and mag ... you made no mention of flashing a CWR. just as a rom has to be flashed to boot up ... so does CWR or else theres nothing to boot. im not trying to flame or insult ... sometimes we miss the small things in our hurry to get to the party! i truly hope its as simple as this :-D
go to usb flasher (i believe option 5 in magLDR) and flash the CWR. Then boot AD Recovery ...
That is strange the toolkit should have installed CWM, but it seems that it didn't. Your next option is to download CWM and install it manually. Just be sure that the flash.cfg is setup correctly for your phone and rom that you want to install. the latest version is 5026 and can be installed via usb from magldr.
You can get it here at the end of the second post.

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 :

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!
Hello, i have htc hd2 and i already intallled this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209474
Now, i want to update this ROM to this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662881
But i dont know how, i have magldr installed on my device, 2.08 spl and the proper radio. I dont really know if i first have to uninstall the current android i have(i dont know how either) or if i just flash it on top of it. Another question i have is how to flash a rom that comes on a zip file from magldr. Because i installed the android that i currently have with an .exe that came inside the rom i downloaded.
Thanks, i hope i can get this solved asap.
You don't need to uninstall your current ROM, but you have to install CWM first with the correct partition size. After that, boot into cwm by selecting option "8. AD Recovery" and then "install zip from sdcard" and choose the ROM you downloaded as a .zip .. and you should be good to go.
If you need elaboration, you can follow this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16528026&postcount=7
Keep in mind you have to modify "Step 8" & "Step 10" according to your ROM.
Also, if you installed your first rom using daf.exe some time ago there's a good chance you don't have magldr 1.13.
You can tell by looking at the magldr menu screen at the top, or by looking at option 8,, if option 8 ISN'T "ad recovery" then you need to upgrade magldr. (Well, technically you don't, but its way easier if you do)

I installed my previous rom with daf.exe. I have to install CWM now, i have magdlr 1.13, so i can do it. But i read this:
"WARNING MESSAGES:
GOING FROM A DAF FLASHED ROM TO A RECOVERY FLASHED ROM WILL WIPE ALL DATA
IF YOU FLASH ANOTHER ROM USING DAF, RECOVERY WILL NO LONGER WORK CORRECTLY, YOU WILL NEED TO REFLASH RECOVERY"
I didnt understand what it meant with "wipe all data". Is there any chance to brake my device?
Thanks
It just means that the apps and data on your current ROM will be deleted (SD card will not be affected). You can use an app like Titanium Backup to backup your apps and app data then restore them after flashing a new ROM.
I already flashed the rom succesfully, thanks for the help
flashed but reboot failed
Flash was successfull, but first reboot failed. Phone shows the cyanoGen mod figure with an arrow turning around it for ages.
Any ideas how to make it working?

Make sure you setup your partition perfectly as the OP said for your ROM,if u new on this just grabed HD2 Toolkit,try to start all over again.
but if you have settle up your partition perfectly try to go to recovery wipe cache,than wipe dalvik cache and reboot,see if this working,good luck
Long Live HD2,Long Live Rock'n Roll!!
I bought my phone and its running android . Cool right ? NO I hate the rom lol and idk if I need to follow the sd card section or the other section of android development. Will someone please help me.. Gapps screwed up . I downloaded rom manager and flashed clockwork mod recovery it SAID it was successful but when I reboot into recovery it just sits at splash screen a extra second and then boots normally. it wont even factory reset with the button in the battery compartment..
There is a long answer for your post, but I am too lazy now.
In short(applicable to original HD2 not chinese copy):
You're either running magldr or cLK, you can't hardreset those to get your winmo, you need to flash it manually. I'd assume magldr since ROM manager broke your recovery.
To get it up and running again:
-if you want winmo, just download a rom and run the exe file with your phone connect. (of course you should have the drivers of activsync)
-android ... you can download the HD2 nand toolkit and (assuming you have magldr) repartition magldr's recovery and then flash a rom of your choice.
How to know if you have magldr or cLK:
-MAGLDR: boot up your phone and hold the end button, if you see numbered options and at the top you see "aMAGLDR" then .. duh .. you have magldr.
-cLK : depending on the version .. well, if it's not magldr then it's cLK.

^And judging by what you said I'm going to hazard a guess at MAGLDR. Reboot into recovery doesn't work with MAGLDR and when you tried to flash CWM via ROM manager you corrupted your recovery so it won't boot into recovery any more. If you hold the power button as Marvlesz said and you get to the MAGLDR menu, then follow the guide in my sig to flash CWM again and a new ROM (don't forget to backup in Titanium backup if you want your apps). If cLK, then you'll have to search for a different guide and follow that instead.
Не очень понимаю вас.
thanks
thanks guys its magdlr
