[Q] question abt android on hd2

i'am right now using dutty's rom(wm) and cyanogen mod7 android on my sd card.but i want to go for the nand android roms.i've read the instructions thread.i had been very usefull,but i have a small confusion whether if magldr formats my phone memory,so that i can have a clean install of nand rom?
because for flashing wm roms we use task29 to clean the phone memory and install the new rom.but i haven't read anything abt formating the phone memory in the instructions thread for nand android for newbies.

You can still use Task29 to format the NAND memory. It'll wipe MAGLDR but that's as easy as flashing it again from the RUU. So basically, MAGLDR will wipe over your WM ROM. I'm not too sure about if it formats the NAND area but I'd presume it would as it would want a clean install.
But flashing a ROM from MAGLDR/CWM won't simply format the NAND. You have to use Task29 as usual. Then installing MAGLDR and CWM takes like 5 mins. It's not needed too often on MAGLDR but it's recommended for a clean install but most definetly not needed every new ROM flash.

so better to go with the following order for a clean install,
1)task 29
2)magldr
3)flash rom
do i have to flash a radio after flashing the android rom as well,like we do it for window's roms?

That's a personal choice depending on your coverage. Just be sure the version flashed is compatible with your HD2

@ poisonwolf,u didn't answer my question.do i have to flash a radio after flashing the android rom as well,like we do it for window's roms?

You don't have to, as long as you already have a XX.X.50 radio, but if you are getting poor coverage/signal or poor battery life then you can, then give it awhile and see if it improves.
But a .50 radio is all that's really required for running Android, if you have that, you dont absolutely have to flash a radio

No you don't have to. But it's recommended to have the 2.15.50.XX radio. Just because it's the newest and that's what most people use.
And yeah you can do that now and again. I wouldn't bother do that before every ROM I flash, but every week or so just to keep it 'fresh'.

[Q] Freeze at HTC logo

Hey,
I installed a htc nand android desire rom on my hd2, normally it always works,
but after this installation it freeze s on the HTC logo.
I did:
1 Task29
2 reinstal MAGDLR 1.13
3 installed CWR 400 MBytes
4 Copied the data2sd zip files to the SD
5 Flashed the rom
it's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967353 this rom.
i tried whipe the cache and installing again but it has the same result ,
what can i do to fix it?

im a newbie and don't know much, but ill try to help, have you tried upgrading the radio? also, maybe that exact rom can't run on your phone, for whatever reason, have you tried any other roms? because if it does that to other roms, im pretty sure you'll have to send it in for a hardware issue.

do you have the radio 2.15.xx.x?
and do you have HSPL 2.08?

Custom roms won't boot.. :/

Basically, the original Leo rom released by Cotulla/DFT works perfectly fine, but as soon as I try other custom roms, none of them will boot. The screen is just stuck at the green HTC logo, this is directly after the main flash of the roms as well. I can't even get to the setup screen for WP7. I've left it there waiting for ages (upto an hour now) for each rom and still the same.
Just curious if anyone else has had this problem? The HSPL, Radio, SD card etc are fine. I've done a task29 as well. I don't have Android installed either. Has me baffled that I can boot the original rom but not others.
Any help would be appreciated! Using MAGLDR 1.3 btw. (I've reflashed it since I used task29 earlier).

We have 1 simple solution
1. Perform task29
2. Flash any WM 6.5 ROM [Cooked ROM will do, stock ROM not necessary]
3. Flash MAGLDR 1.13
4. Flash WP7 ROM
Eureka your phone will have WP7

I've done that though? And as I said, the original LEO Rom from DFT works perfectly fine, it's only custom ones which do this.

[Q] Any way of rolling back from ICS to Gingerbread on HTC HD2 T-Mobile

I have recently ported NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.4 on my HTC HD2(T-Mobile) and I need to downgrade this to NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.2a_NAND_(Android-2.3.7) build?
I just tried with MagLdr with the new zip file, but at the time of first time boot up with Android setup, it complained that some google.com.XXX is already missing. So basically it wouldn't allow me to complete the setup for Gingerbread. Only reason why I am looking for downgrading is because I feel a lot of Market apps don't work on ICS Rom.
For example a bank app has a capability of scanning a check with my camera but when I am using it in ICS, it's saying that "XXX App has stopped working" please report the error.
Similarly some of the GPS application is not working fine on ICS and I am hoping this is happening because ICS is still in BETA mode and hoping that Gingerbread is much more stable then ICS.

task29
install hspl magldr and then flash the nand rom.
best solution.

Dont do that, it's just unnecessary. Go into CWM, wipe, repartition then flash your new ROM. Also, you didn't 'port' Android to your phone, you flashed it.

rolling back
I tried to wipe partition then install from zip file and did not work any suggestions ?

Since most GB roms requires less system partition than ICS roms, I would think repartation will help. Besides after repartition, any trace of any rom is wiped clean completely.
After that you should be able to flash the zip file normally.

Ill try that when as soon as i get home and let you know if it worked , thanks

worked , thanks

[Q] Stuck on boot logo MIUI - MIUI ICS 2.6.8 Ported by smokin901 [tytung r3 HWA]

Hi everybody.
Has anybody esle problem with stuck on boot logo MIUI after flashing MIUI ICS 2.6.8 Ported by smokin901 [tytung r3 HWA]?
I have been used the MIUI 4 by smokin for 2 months without any problems. Every week I was able to flash it without stuck on boot logo.
I was trying to make a clean install (as always):
1. Wipe (Task 29)
2. Instal clk 1.5
3. Check partition size (220/5)
4. Flash MIUI 2.6.8
5. without reboot install Bootloopfix 2.6.8
6. clear dalvik cache (as it appears after installing bootloopfix)
6. Reboot - and then my phone get stuck on boot logo MIUI (I left the phone like that for 30 minutes without no succes).
Did I miss something important?
I also tried to flash radio version again: Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14, but it did not help. When I got back to 2.6.1-2 MIUI - everything is just fine.
Thanks for any advice what else can I try.

Due to Bad NAND blocks which your phone might have, you have less than 220mb when you partition your internal memory. So when partitioning, make a partition of say maybe 230 or 235mb so as to account for the bad NAND blocks
Hope it helps

OK - thank you very much for your advice . I will try it after I get back from work.
Another question is - is there any solution or method, how to check, if my phone really has bad NAND blocks or not? Or maybe - what is causing this bad NAND blocks?
Anyway - I will try it. Thank you very much for the tip.

i prefer this way. you can try if you want.
sequence;
first check your device if it is 2.08.HSPL, and format your sdcard ext3 or ext4 and 1gb. insert it to your device.
1. task29
2. radio rom 2.15.50.14
3. magldr 1.13
4. recovery 5.0.2.6 or clk
5. clear cache and dalvik cache.
Radio ROM 2.15.50.14;
Radio ROM 2.15.50.14
HD2 Toolkit 4.2.0.1; ( contains task 29, magldr and recovery and also HSPL)
HD2 Toolkit 4.2.0.1

And this will help HOW?
The person has already tried the clean installation. How will doing it again help?

Thanks for any advice, I found some threads,
e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189544.
I am going to study, what should I do to check nand blocks on my hd2.

[Solved]
Thanks everybody for tips, I probably (as a lot of people do) have some bad blocks.
Anyway, I just cut out some application from ROM before flashing and flashed the rom even with lower (200 mb) partition.
But your ideas led me to stuff like bad blocks etc, so now I am able to understand things better and know that flashing too much can cause trouble....
