Hey guys I am in!!. After a long search I managed to get an hd2 ... and I am getting used to it. The first thing I do is I put magldr 1.13, cement 3.xxx, then put latest miui rom ( man I have never seen such an eyecady android ever).
Since I am a newbee to hd2, pls help me with some doubts
1) can I instal wp7 and any android to nand at the same time? Or I have to keep Andy in SD inorder 2 dual boot?
2) can I use supercharger script. Also pls help me to add tweeks to hd2( like scripts, mods, etc) .pls post some links 2 those.
3) where are the latest radios? I managed 2 find only one.
4) does chrot work on hd2, I have read about it in LG optimus2x forum. And I am interested in installing backtrack in hd2.
5) magldr always boot into the os directly, and hence I can't go to cwm from any app, nor can't flash zips using rom manager. For that I always have 2 go2 adrecovery from magldr menu, which takes me into cwm. And I am not sure if cwm is in nand or SD. Pls clear it to me.
6) what is about partitioning? Various roms require various sizes, and it confuses me. I can't install nexus HD rom( android 4. Ported 2 hd2). It installs and don't boot at all. Where I can instal miui which I am using now.
7) which one is better magldr or clk? What are the differences?
Pls help me...
Thankz in advance .

let me get a crack at this lol.
1. i believe only one os can be on nand only, ive seen people boot nand wp7 and android sd
2. i use the supercharger script which is great and use option 9, its in the android hacking forum.
3. the only radio you should probably be concerned and using (since there tested for compatibality lol ) is the 2.x.50.x radio ( preferably 2.15.50 for android)
4.never heard of chrot lol. sorry
5. rom manager now supports the hd2 and recovery is in nand.
6. some roms require different system partions to run correctly so there is ample wiggle room for the os to run smooth and butter.
7. there both great bootloaders, i wont state whats better, but i use magdlr since its the first one i used, and i really liked it and have gotten accustomed to it.
hope i answered your questions man and good luck!
i'm gonna try to answer too!

with stock EVERYTHING, only WM6.5 can be in the NAND. MAGLDR supports only ONE OS in NAND at a time (either Android or WP7). so the other OS can be on sd card only. and the only OSes one can boot from sd card are Android and Ubuntu.
the above paragraph should help you determine all the possible combinations.
2) can I use supercharger script. Also pls help me to add tweeks to hd2( like scripts, mods, etc) .pls post some links 2 those.

honestly, most of the custom ROMs here are already tweaked enough to my liking. for some tweaks, you can use apps like "spare parts+" and "rom toolkit" etc. the rest is all customizations:
1. skins - if using a cyanogenmod Android, then theme switcher is built in. if using an HTC Sense Android, then theme switcher is already built in. most "simpler" ROMs may require a lot of work on your part to tweak the look n feel.
2. wallpapers - easy! changing wallpapers is built into all Android ROMs
3. ringtones & alerts - easy! changing these is built into all Android ROMs
4. apps - go to the market place (on Android or WP7) and download whatever you want!
and so on...

are you talking about the "chroot" command in linux? i just tried to run it in my Android's terminal emulator and it works. if you are talking about a way to grant root access to applications that request it on Android, then yes again. most custom Android ROMs here are already "rooted".
5) magldr always boot into the os directly, and hence I can't go to cwm from any app, nor can't flash zips using rom manager. For that I always have 2 go2 adrecovery from magldr menu, which takes me into cwm. And I am not sure if cwm is in nand or SD. Pls clear it to me.

isn't it nice that MAGLDR boots into your default ROM automatically? to access the MAGLDR menu, reboot the device, and hold down the power/endcall button until the MAGLDR menu comes up.
CWM is in the NAND (these days), but CAN be on the sd card if you want. it takes less than 5MB of your NAND. this will be more clear if you pay attention to the contents of "flash.cfg" when you are performing the MAGLDR partitioning using "DAF.exe" on your desktop.
6) what is about partitioning? Various roms require various sizes, and it confuses me. I can't install nexus HD rom( android 4. Ported 2 hd2). It installs and don't boot at all. Where I can instal miui which I am using now.

there are two kinds of partitioning we discuss on xda:
1. NAND partitioning - done with MAGLDR. a few MB for the recovery (CWM), followed by a big chunk of memory for the ROM itself, followed by a few MB for the cache, followed by a big chunk of memory for user data. most of the ROMs these days are "heavy", so they expect a partition size that can store the full ROM after unzipping, so the chunk remaining for the cache partition and the user data partition is sometimes barely enough. as a result, some Android ROMs now require an sd card partitioning (see next point) so that they can store part of the ROM in the NAND and the rest of it on the "sd-ext" partition (usually an ext3 or ext4 partition, among others).
2. SD Card partitioning - done via a desktop tool (like "minitool") or via CWM's menu options. the desktop tool will obviously give you a lot more flexibility when performing the partitioning but some ROMs seem to work best if your card is partitioned via CWM's menus. keep in mind that CWM will remove your existing FAT32 partition (so backup the data on the FAT32 partition!!!), then it will create all the partitions (including the FAT32 one) from scratch. typical partitioning is FAT32+1GB ext3 or FAT32+1GB ext4 or FAT32+1GB ext3+128MB linux swap, and so on...
7) which one is better magldr or clk? What are the differences?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
neither...you can search for a detailed comparison between the two. to summarize:
MAGLDR pros: supports WP7, dual booting (between NAND and sd card), detailed NAND partitioning, tetris!
MAGLDR cons: doesn't support PPP (a way to access your mobile network's data connection). only RMNET is supported (RMNET is another way to access the data connection, but slower than PPP). doesn't allow charging the device if completely powered OFF...need the WP7 or Android OS to boot up before it can charge the battery. finally, has an "ugly" screen that appears between the splashscreens on boot up.
CLK pros: supports PPP, allows charging the device when OFF, and doesn't interrupt the splashscreens on boot up.
CLK cons: works only to boot an Android ROM, cannot use CLK to boot WP7 or to dual boot. CLK is not 100% supported on some ROMs. most ROMs these days are "dual" but the experience may be less/more stable on the CLK version of the same ROM.
i believe neither MAGLDR nor CLK can pick the WIFI and Bluetooth MAC addresses from the NV-RAM of the device. the only mechanism i know to achieve this is to boot an sd card Android from within WM6.5...or to use an sd card Android whose kernel supports custom specification of MAC addresses from a config file on the sd card.
most Android kernels these days "generate" a unique WIFI MAC address and Bluetooth MAC address so that no two HD2s running these ROMs will have the same MAC address.
i'm not sure how the WP7 ROMs solve this problem...maybe Android is the only OS for the HD2 that has to "generate" MAC addresses.
Pls help me...

fantastic! haha. well done. indepth as well sir
Yap, i got the points. But dudes i am a previous owner of wildfire. So i know some of the things already. Such as sd partitioning. Tweeking using scripts etc. But i am new to nand partitioning. Is it like the one we do for wildfire ( allocating extra unused memory from rom partition to user partition so that user need not to move that much apps to sd. And ofcourse it will give u upto 150mb extra memory for user data).
I am not asking about root. Itz chroot. Its the linux command from terminal to mound other linux os like backtrack etc. If it qorks, where can i find such an os?
Also about tweeks. It not the app or wallpaper stuff. Itz advanced user tweeks like installing bravia engine, beatz audio,kernal, rom, ram tweekz etc..
Also i want to know if i can get a custom cwm recovery which is highwr than 3.xxx, man wildfire is now reaching cwm 5+. Then why r we still in 3. Also my cwm dont wipes my battery log. What my be the prblm? I have cwm 3.xx( the latest offered by rommanager.

Since MagLdr release, i have never seen any build that is compatible to run from magldr's "Boot AD SD" option, am i missing something?
from what i understood and tried by myself (after unfortunatelly losing my setup) normal SD build are not compatible with this option.
How can i convert normal SD or NAND roms to run from SD with this magldr option?
It's not something you'd call compatible, but with a little bit of work all of the sd builds that uses the cedesmith initrd can be modified pretty easily to boot from magldr. I've done it with JDMS, HD2ONE and desire_hd2 so far, and letama has posted the modified superram one. I'm sure the DesireZ works the same. You can find the instructions he posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10314695&postcount=807
It's literally just adding nand_init to one line in init.rc
There is a thread released today which will tell you step by step how to convert Nand Roms into Zip Rom so you can flash it anytime from SD card through Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Hi
I have tried to install android on my phone and after a few attempts I finally got to the step where to install Android which works fine.
But after first boot it is written that it may take upto 20 minutes.... I have tried with different kernels with same results.... it simply stops after GO GO GO then it comes to the android screen and nothing happens... I have tried to let it be for 5 hours... still no reaction!
What I do is to copy the .zip file to my SD card and go to to the boot menu and coose "Install from zip file on SD card".
Any good ideas how to solve it?

You need to provide more details for folks around here to reply. Ie:
1. Which model are you using - LEO512 or LEO1024
2. Which MAGLDR was flashed. Version 1.13? Because earlier version had the freeze at GOGOGO! problem.
3. Which android build did you use (DAF build type or CWR type?)
Only then we can even start to suggest what to do to help you
Wait....Are you using builds that requires SDCards to be partitioned? If yes, did you partition as required?

Thats odd.... I only know that the experience may vary across different units (ie: wake-up lag, power drain, etc). Never have i heard that not all builds can be successfully booted. I still think the problems has to do with settings (i.e.: config.txt, NAND partition layout, SD Card partition size and formats etc).
If you have a prob with the builds, please specify clearly which version and your configurations. Only then folks here can advice accordingly....
can't hurt...
task 29, WM6.5 rom installation, magdlr installation then flash the rom again
make shure you created ext partition on SD if required for making work the ROM (check its trhead)....
Do a fresh installation(Format SD->Task 29->Flash Radio->Flash MAGLDR->Flash CWM->Flash ROM from zip using AD recovery option in MAGLDR.. Maybe you are using an incompatible radio?
if i have this problem, i flash windows back (LEOIMG.nbh is always on my sdcard).
this will help me.
after one "no-function"-flash dont try an other flash by the same config like the config before.
I think that problem is in kernel . you trying kernel for new desire, use for N1.

i guess you did a ROM flash through clockworkmod? if so, did you flash the correct partition sizes (sense roms need often about 400mb /system partition). If not you need to find the 400mb clockwork recovery in this forum.
If you flashed a rom via DAF, please disregard this.
also please post in the correct forum (Q and A would be correct for this topic i believe)

I'm not sure what you ask me about. But no on my phone my call buttons is black and gray
By using panasonic formatter I only format... but the card is on 8Gb so guess I need to make a partition.
Mini partition tool doesnt work correct it report errors as soon as I ftry to format etx3
If your phone has T-mobile on top and buttons are colored red & grees - its LEO1024.
If all grey without any logo on its case/housing - then its LEO512/EURO model.
difference is the NAND size. LEO1024 has 1GB and LEO512 has 512MB.
Peter,
I'll quickly write the outline here, hopefully it helps. But detailed guide on each subject has been posted numerous times here. Please look for them.
Outline to get RAFDROID up and running (Based on your post, im assuming yours is LEO512)
1. Flash MAGLDR 1.13 (this involves entering tricolor screen and flashing like good'ol WM6.5)
2. From MAGLDR, choose USB Flasher mode (Option 4 i think...) and flash Clockwork Mod Recovery with 400MB layout. (this is important, wrong layout will cause bootloop and androd will not boot)
3. Assuming you have 2GB microSD card - Use a memcard reader and connect it to your PC. Dont use mass-storage option from MAGLDR. Launch Minitool Partition and create 1GB FAT32 Primary partiton followed by 1GB EXT3 with 4096 block size primary partition. This process is not as complicated as it may sound
4. Put the downloaded RAFDROID CWR zip file into the FAT32 partition. (When the partitioning is complete, windows will only see 1GB in your microSD. The 2nd 1GB EXT3 partition will only be available to android, so dont worry about it)
5.Once done, pop you microsd in your LEO, and choose Recovery option from menu. Once you enter the recovery menu, choose Install from ZIP file and choose the RAFDROID zip file that you have just put in.
6. Wait, and choose reboot. Whole process should be about 20 min.
7. Enjoy your android
Guys, please add anything if i missed out any steps

I am using a HTC HD2 (international version)
I would like to know if it's possible to do the following?
- boot MIUI (http://www.miui.com/download.html) from SD card
From what I have read about MAGLDR, it seemed that I can copy MIUI to SD, and select option 2 in MAGLDR...........
Quoted:
Option #2
Boot AD SD, this will in the future allow you to boot Android from your SD card, but as for now it is not working just yet. This option also allows you to boot other Android specific software such as Clock Work Mod Recovery(CWM) that you have placed specific files for on your SD card. This option is not really needed for CWM as you no longer have to place files for it on your SD card you can flash it straight to NAND.
But it seemed that I need to burn MAGLDR into my phone, which I am afraid of bricking it............
Could someone let me know if I have the whole concept wrong?
Is it possible to run Haret after booting into Win6.5 to run MIUI (http://www.miui.com/download.html) from SD?
i think these tutorials answered by questions............but still a bit afraid to brick my phone..........

The thread of the rom you are trying to install.
Oh! Okay, I thought making it a bigger size will allow it to have more access to disk space for it's OS + programs, okay, I'll look into this area
How bigger the CWM partition, the bigger the OS space, which you can't use for apps.
But I can choose to install apps in SD card?
A closer look @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11894125#post11894125
and I figured that it's running MIUI from SD which is not what I wanted?
I want it to flash into my NAND...............
That one is running from NAND. Follow his tutorial to get it running.
hmmmmmmm, okay.........let me try it again...........
Was doing the CMW thingy,
It failed with:
USB Init Failed...........
The thing is I have 1.3 of CMW, and the tutorial wants me to flash a v1.2 of CMW

Eelkede, from his post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11894125#post11894125)
can you tell which size of CMW should I flash?
I might go here to reflash the correct size (v1.3 instead of v1.2)

btw, I used this to help me flash..............
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...kmod-recovery-on-android-htc-hd2-with-magldr/
150 mb is enough (you can edit it to a lower number, but let's just start normal)
Follow the Instructions you posted.
Put the .zip of the ROM on your sd card
Reboot phone, open the CWM (AD Recovery).
Select: Install Zip from sd card, find the .zip, install. Let it boot (it can take a while, just leave it).
Optional: Install (same way as rom) Language pack, reboot.
Done.
Oh! I used http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...kmod-recovery-on-android-htc-hd2-with-magldr/
and flashed to 250MB and it's working now!
One thing I noticed; I was using Win6.5 + loading MIUI from SD using Harret, and this is faster than the one I had loaded in NAND..........
You mean it loads faster? or does it handles faster (in android)?
Could be, always reboot a few times before making a final judgement. You can try overclocking your device.
Glad I could help, have fun with MIUI on your device!
Part of the beauty of having WP7 on NAND and Android on SD is that you can have as many Android ROMs as you can fit on your card and you can boot into any of them as you please. But say I want to install Android on NAND. Can I still be able to have that one Android ROM on NAND, but multiple other Android ROM's on SD?
Simple... If I want to be able to boot into more than one OS, must I have WP7 on NAND? If so, is there any guide for this? I cannot find one in the main sticky.
Good question, It would be good if you could switch and chang based on mood.
You can have Android on NAND and as many sd builds as you want, same as with WP7. Until my HD2 broke a few days ago, thats just what II did, a DHD build, a MIUI build, and a CM7 build on sd, with UD on NAND. Just have to choose your AD SD directory in magldr's 'services', and then boot AD SD.

I do not think you can due to the fact that you have to run the HARET program. It only runs under Windows Mobile as Android does not run .EXE files.
Yes you definitely can. Check my sig

Well, I saw several builds in the NAND Android forum that specify they support MAGLDR. No need for haret. Here's some of them: LeoRCMix, JW MIUI, HardDroid2. So I didn't think that was a limitation.

How do you partition your card for this setup? Is there a guide somewhere you can link here please? Or is it the same procedure you use to partition your card when you're running WP7 on NAND and Android on SD (which I've followed before)?
Any advise whether NAND build or SD build is better? In terms of performance I mean.
NAND builds will usually be faster.
As far as partitioning your card, with Android it's not necessary, you can do everything on a single Fat32 partition, unless you want to use A2SD then you'll want a single (primary) Fat32 and a single (primary) ext3 or ext4 partition for your apps/dalvik-cache. I recommend using DarkTremor's A2SD script with your NAND ROM, and if you use the DHD build in my sig, then it will automatically detect your ext3 and you'll automatically have the installed apps from your NAND on your sd build.

sd android builds for magldr will work if you have another android in nand,but the kernel for sd build must not be a nand kernel.for example if you have a sense build in nand and you go to start from sd a build that has tytung r10 or rafpigna kernel the kernel will start but for some strange reason it will load the nand build and not the sd build.then if you go to settings you`ll see that the kernel is changed and you have error wifi because of different kernel modules.this at least happens to me,every time i tried to start a magldr sd build with another android in nand.at first times i thought that i was pushing wrong button on magldr
Great advise, guys. I'm going to play with this soon. Thank you!
can someone link me a how to or guide, i have the android on my sd running smoothly but i beed a guide on how to install it to the phones internal memory, i mean do i have to install windows stock rom in order to get it on the phone? or can i install it like it is now??? i just dont see any info on this partiicalluar situation
you cant (easily) move an sd build onto nand. You would probably do better to backup your contacts and stuff and go find a NAND rom you like the look of. start fresh.
i guess what im asking is there anything i need to do to prepare the device for the internal android install? i dont wanna copy and paste the install from sd to internal but im asking do i need to install windows 6.5 the original rom first or ican i just flasj it aka load it how my phone is now??? this i havent encoutered yet, and i want to make sure im doing all my steps right, if i need to just find a rom (NAND) and install it how they say???
and btw, the sd andorid version said it was nand but just on a sd build, weird huh? lol im also hearing that some of the sd builds are running faster than the NAND internal ones, can anyone speak of this?
ah well you may find that there are two download links in the thread perhaps? cant really comment, never taken much notice of sd android, , it never worked through haret/winmo for me, so i went straight to nand.
im using the gingerbread 2.3.7. by the way, is there any new ones or ones that you reccomend? im not picky just want somethign stable, fast and nice, htc sense or not doesnt matter let me know NAND btw

which one? half the roms are 2.3.7, just saying 'im on gingerbread 2.3.7' doesnt help much, , ,, far better to give the name, since there are so many variants.
here is the one i have
http://hottipscentral.com/how-to-install-android-gingerbread-2-3-7-on-the-t-mobile-htc-hd2/
is that the process you followed? If yes, then its already on nand rom. That article is about flashing typhoon (one of the most popular roms) to nand.
yes i followed it to a Tee, lol so your saying its already on the internal phone memory??? ok then so your saying i can take out my SD and it will still boot? hmmm and typoon is what the zip file i have says, can you help me a bit further im following you so far but want to make sure im seeing this right and doiong it step by step thx for replying
watch the video at the bottom of the page from youtube thats on there, thats the step i followed
sorry this is the one i have installed not sure how i got the other , but this is the correct one :Cyanogen MOD 7 Gingerbread 2.3.7
yea thats NAND. there isn't an sd version of typhoon.
yes you can take your sd out and it should boot. (if you have an EXT partition on your sd card ((i didn't watch the whole vid, but it wasn't mentioned)) then any apps you have installed wont be there till you reinsert teh sd card.)
you need to read read read, there are four or five important parts to nand android.
bookmark THIS starting point, and start browsing threads in the Q&A section and NAND development.
basically, your key components are
hspl 2.08.hspl - don't touch this again, android wont work on any other.
radio - fine, you wont need to touch this again any time soon, as with the hspl.
magldr, hold power to start it, the only option you will use is 8 - ad recovery, which starts cwm
cwm (cwr, clockworkmod clockwork, clockwork recovery) which is what starts when you choose AD recovery in magldr, you flash your roms from here, wipe your data from here, factory reset (back to android, not a real factory reset), , you can usb transfer in cwm, the one in magldr corrupts large files.
The cwm 'partition size' is 150 ( i think thats what he chose?) This is the inportant piece of info you need if changing to a different rom, since different roms need different sized system partitions.
You can change this in the tookit you used.
thx thx and thx!!! thats what i needed to know
Check out EasyAndroid, with it you can flash NAND Android from stock HD2 in 30min.
I like useing the clk loader as you do not see it load as you boot the phone, and you can use the android boot to recovery option.
if you already have and SD Android i would download TitaniumBackup and make a backup of all of your aps, as you can use this to save your aps across any Android Rom.
Have fun with NAND Android,

Lol mate, that's how many thanks you've received, not how many people you've thanked. i.e. if someone thanks you, your thanks meter increases. If you thank someone else, nothing is affected for you, only for the other person. Hope that's cleared it up
