To make it quick, I tried to flash a ROM and it obviously didn't work out, so I'm pretty much stuck.
Tried to get back to recovery, but the HD2 always tries to boot the not working ROM.
How can I get back to recovery so I can flash a ROM the right way?
Thanks in advance

Come on, there's gotta be a way to get into recovery to wipe and flash properly...shall I get over the procedure of flashing CWM and this stuff again? Would that get me to recovery again so I can flash a ROM properly?
Otherwise I'm really exhausted and out of ideas...

Start up your device and press and hold the Red Button (end call button) until it loads the MAGLDR. Then choose 8 and load into recovery.
I read something about 7 seconds, but it's starting to boot after estimated 5 seconds.
I'm actually not at home, I'll try it in few hours.
Thanks so far.
Do I need to wipe and then flash? and which ROM can you suggest?
Gesendet von meinem Desire HD mit Tapatalk
Just press and hold the End call button after turning it on.
And yeh, always do a wipe (Wipe Data and Wipe Cache + Dalvik Cache only) if you are going to flash a new rom. But do not delete your SD files like music etc
and i can recommend - HyperDroids CM7 Rom - based on Android 2.3.7 because im using it by myself. Absolutly no problems hereto check the links in my sig.
Have fun!
BTW:
The problem for not booting up might could be a too small Recovery Layout. Most Roms require a 150MB system partition and 5MB cache partition. Just check this out in the Rom's Thread there should be always a info to-
I guess I'm not at that point yet
I just flashed CWM and then flashed a ROM, which was to install via 5. USB Flasher and some sort of installer on PC - before I tried to install a ROM via CMW and that didn't work.
Well, now I have a ROM on it, SU is on it as well but I don't have root access.
Looks like a pretty old ROM. Froyo 2.2 with HTC Sense 2.1.
But my question now is: How to gain root and if I've done that, can I just flash a different rom (for example the one you suggested) via CWM?
I'm happy, that I have Android on it now but I'd like to have Gingerbread.
(The ROM on it is named DFT_Android and is to be installed via an executable DAF.exe while the device is on point 5 USB Flasher)
And if I can't flash ROMs on CWM, is there a newer ROM which is to be installed like my current one?
and by the way: Thank you very much, your solutions made it work for me
I'll try to flash the ROM you named tomorrow with their instruction of a clean installation

First of all the DFT stock leo is an old and outdated ROM with no root access. Android 2.2 with Sense 2.0 is still very fast, just outdated. And the lack of root is the killer for me.
Secondly, CWM is definitely the way forward, you won't be able to do much without it.
Thirdly, which partition size did you use (first time around)? Too small a partition could cause issues (all of which are of course correctable) so you may want want to check this. As said in the post above, many CM7 ROMs require a 150Mb partition.
If you want a full guide which enables you to flash Android via CWM, see this guide
I'm not sure, but I think I took 150mb. Well, if I flash another rom, I'll just make it 150mb, if it isn't
If I flash a ROM via CWM will I have root on it? Stock ROM has Superuser, but obviously not really useful, maybe because it's outdated, iono...
Another thing is that I only have a 1 GB microSD for the HD2.
Would a bigger microSD be recommended?
I see that now on this old stock rom that a bigger microSD would make sense, since I'm very limited in the number of apps I can install.

Although not necessary, I would definitely recommend a bigger MicroSD. I have a 16GB one on which I can store tonnes of apps, as much music as I want (but I still need all of it for when I'm bored) and plenty of other stuff I may want.
As for the root question, you were unfortunate enough to pick the only ROM in the NAND development section to come without root Everything else has root permissions
Those nand roms are mostly using app2sd or data2sd (think sense roms only) which require an ext3 or 4 partition on your sd (this can all be done with cwm). So 512mb ext partition should be fine for lots of apps. So imo 1gb is enough if you dont want to store lots of music, movies, other roms and 900 backuped apps ;d

hd2 wont boot
Can anyone tell me how to get my Tmobile Hd2 into bootloader after task 29, without working volume keys...???
I'm sorry but I cannot think of any other way to get into bootloader other than holding down the volume key after installing android.

Hi
Me and i know a lot of you out there have got a big problem on our phone, and broken the usb port. So no flashing ROM from USB sync :S.
I'm hoping that Cedesmith's CLK NAND loader + CWM flashed from an .nbh using the sdcard method will be the solution we are looking for.
Hope some of the great devs out there think of a way for us to flash NAND or even WM7.
Just get the port fixed?!
PS. There is no such thing as "WM7".

Dude once again with fixing the port... If that was an option i would be asking for a .nhg so i could format the phone. I've got MAGLDR installed using the SD card now, and i know about cwm, i want a way to partion the phone from the SD for Android or WP7. If i knew how to do that i would be asking...
Thanks a lot
same here
Hi,
My USB is also broken. This is somehow not covered by warranty. Repairservice wants to charge me for 536€ and Amazon sells the HD2 already for 499€.
I cannot afford a new one nor the repair.
Beeing able to flash everything including HSPL and MAGLDR from SD-Card.
I would be very greatful for that option as the standard software provided from HTC is very disappointing with all the great options for the HD2 out there.
Best Regards,
Joe

Well you're wrong!
There is no "Windows Mobile 7" The OS you are referring to is called "Windows Phone 7" and its a completley new OS and nothing to do with windows mobile, hence it doesnt run any of WM programs.
i have a question in regards to the clockwork mod recovery now on hd2, I have installed magldr1.13 thats fine, i have also flashed the clcokwork recovery as well.
I am totally lost as to how you are supposed to be able to flash rom zips from clockwork instead of nand flashing. I know how to nand flash, and I also know how to use clockwork on regular android o.s systems , but im lost as to what this clockwork recovery works with nand roms and regular zip or z7 roms.
If I flash a regular nand rom like i have, and then get into clockwork and try to install a rom from clockwork it messses up?
Are the cockwork roms for the hd2 specific as in zip format or can you intall a nand rom from clockwork it seems people have merged some nand roms with sd .
Any insight or guide would help.

hey!
Anyone have any good suggestions for a rom for HTC - Mytouch 4g? I am pretty much a n00b even though I manage to pull a complete ultimate true root and s=off lol.
i have the original tmobile stock rom though, is there a just Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 Vanilla rom for HTC mytouch 4g?!
I've seen EvilZ and Ice galicier , but I am not sure which one to go about .
Any (good) suggestions would really help!
thanks a bunch.

Search the dev section for nightly CM7, Its very vanilla-ish gingerbread and very stable btw, some pros?...improved battery life, open to customization, overall a better looking ui, runs silky smooth, and the kernel supports oc up to 1.5
Sent from my rooted glacier running CM7 and grankin's oc kernel
Thanks man!
but are those CM-7 nightly ones stable though?! I won't likely experience any SD-memory card errors, wifi not working , and etc *the usual problems* lol.
I would like to remain at 1 Ghz for now LOL. Just need a vanilla android version with tons of customizations though!
Also, since my phone is currently "ultimate perm true rooted + s=off " , I installd Rom Manager and did a Flash clockworkMod Recovery, only once though. Should I do it again? (twice)?
So, can you please tell me what is the true purpose of CWM? I know you can use it to recover, but recover what exactly and how is that possible?
Let's say I decide to get the CM-7 nightly version, what do I do need to do? (any specific guide) ive read general guides and I believe I did the right things lol.
Now with regarding flashing, it flashes the NAND chip right? :S So the apps i have installed and other tmobile junk will be lost? like it would be a complete full format process (similar to PC?)?
Thanks again! I appreciate it and I am looking through the thread and googling to learn .

1. Regarding how stable it is..its super stablr considering its still an alpha and i trust it enough to use it as my daily driver (i need 100% reliability and the phone has never let me down). Only known bugs are qik not working (and its a 2.3 compatibility issue rather than a rom issue) and you can use tango instead, ffc has a reverted x-axis effect xD..., mms might be blurry (which is fixed by changin the ua undr mms settings) and some may have other bugs i have not yet noticed
2. Your current 2.5 cwm will not work with gb, you will need to flash any 3.xxx version to install cm7. Cwm is designed to do backups of ur current working system and can be restored in the events of ur phone acting up (i.e bootloops or major issues...) although its also used to easily install .zip files (cm7 is a rom contained in .zip file and will need to be installes via recovery), its used also to wipe the system cache, dalvik cache and/or full wipes in the events of issues.
3. Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916930#
Thats the nightly thread, you will have a "nightly" update you can flash thru recovery
4. If u go to cm7 you will have to (must) do a full wipe. Download titanium backup and back up ur existing apps and data (dont wanna lose ur angry birds progress), once cm7 is up just download tit bcup again and you'll have ur data back.
Hope this helped

one question at a time, bro.
1)the CM7 Nightlies are "Fairly" stable, though they do have bugs, as they are not fully complete (then again, no rom really is devoid of bugs and things to improve).
2)as for flashing CWM a second time, sometimes the recovery doesnt stick and when you boot into recovery, you will still go to the stock recovery. The second flash of CWM should fix this, and you should go to the CWM screen.
3) The purpose of CWM is to flash the various ROMs you'll find in the Development Section of this area. It also allows you to create nandroid backups, which will allow you to restore your phone to a specific state in time if something goes wrong or something (also helps to flash back to a rom without having to reinstall everything, which takes forever)
4)to flash a gingerbread (either CM7 or otherwise) you'll need to flash the CWM 3 to your phone manually, using the methods laid out in several threads in the Dev section. then you'll need to flash the rom, plus the Gapps for that rom (google apps like gmail, market, etc)
5)and yes, flashing a new rom will wipe all the data f(apps, accounts, call and text logs, etc) from the previous rom the previous (or youll need to do so before flashing). Now you see why you make nandroid backups also, using a backup application like titanium or MyBackup can make that process much simpler.
Arighty. I've been reading that CM-7 nightly thread for now!
I am excited now to flash it! Plus your suggestion and said it is the most vanillaish rom avaliable .
Okay, so I have Rom Manager Preimum that is 3.0.0.7 and since I flashed it currently, so CWM is 2.5.1.2 .
and I need CWM 3.x?
Regarding CWM 3.x? theres ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 and clockwork-3-20110116-MT4G.img .
Which one of the above CWM 3.x, is better to use? Also, they are in .img format, so how would I go about flashing it?
this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10670110&postcount=531
its using CWM 3.0.0.5 , is that a good method ?
And what happens to my current CWM 2.5.1.2? I already flashed it with that, do i need to "unflash" it ?
After that CWM, I use Titanium backup (i have pro version) to backup my apps + phone contacts right? I don't want to backup tmobile bloatware . I only the apps i paid for through android market.
And then, I download CM-7 and transfer it to my phone via usb cable to the sd card. Then use ROM Manager to flash it?!
thanks again!

I appreciate all that information and effort you put into it.
And yes, you are right. All roms have flaws, they all need to be worked out . But, this tmobile rom is just a bit annoying .
I posted a reply already, so I believe i know how to go about doing this CM-7 stuff...but just need to make sure I go the steps and necessary backup done.
thanks!
p.s. can you transfer phone contacts to simcard in this CM-7 rom? tombile has this option shut off for android 2.2 for G2 and MYT4G~! i know HTC Desire Z Bell's rom has the option to save contacts on the simcard, :S. Unless theres some other issue that i am not aware of it.

well, Im running a Desire HD port (gorillaSense), so my rom has that feature, but I havent used CM7 in a little while. However, if you sync your contacts to google instead of t-mobile, youll have all of them no matter what rom you use, no matter if it has t-mobile contacts or sim card contacts or anything.
and yeah, the t-mobile rom is annoying, thats why I got off it as soon as I could and never looked back. Personally I prefer the Sense ROMs, but I can see the merits of the CM and AOSP ROMs too, its personal preference.

K, so i checked the settings on the contact application and you can only export your stored contacts to the SD card, you are able to import from SIM but not to export to SIM. Like the post above stated though, as long as you are on an android phone you will have your contacts synced
Hello,
a month before i flashed my HTC HD2 to a DFT Froyo 2.2 Sense ROM.
Softwareversions as i undestand them are the following
Magldr 1.13
Android 2.2
Baseband 15.38.50.07U_2.10.50.19_2
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
BuildNo 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys
SoftwareNo. 2.29.405.5
Browser Webkit 3.1
I found the information to do this around in the internet. Knowing about XDA i decided to flash my Desire HD to Revolution HD. After having done the flash i found a lot more stuff around XDA and decided to flash my HD2 again to a newer mod.
Having bought CWM i thought it would be easy to flash the HD2 to another mod, but after installing ROM-Manager i wasn't and still am not able to install CWM. From the info shown in german, i would translate the following german text:"Bei der Ausführung von privilegierten Kommandos ist ein Fehler aufgetreten!" to "An error happened on execution of privilegised commands"
And now i'm stuck on this and don't know what to do. Afaik i would estimate this being a fault of SU which was installed with the ROM, but i really don't know it.
i would appreciate any help or hint.
Thx
Kai
Hi,
Unfortunately, ROM manager does not work with magldr...
If you want to use it ,you need to install cLK.Have a look at my sig...guide number 2
Did you buy CWM?("Having bought CWM i thought it would be easy to flash the HD2 to another mod,")
Should not have to pay for it.
All is in the guide..

No, you don't have to switch, the only difference is you manually enter cwm rather than the phone automatically entering cwm for you. just don't use rom manager. Read the cwm thread, in android nand development thread all info is there including free download links.( I'd be REALLY unhappy at whoever sold you cwm!, and in fact isn't it released under a freeware license? Making resale illegal?)

There is a free and paid version of ROM Manager in the Android market. The free version works good, but the paid version has added benefits of course, like installing from QR code, checjking for OTA ROM updates, aqnd more avaliable ROM downloads.

Hm. liking the way it works on Desire HD, is there a reason not to switch to clk and stay with magldr?
I would like to play with the HD2 as much as possible, so it would be really fine, if i was able to switch between roms as easy, as in Desire HD, working with rom-manager and CWM.

Hi,
For me I'm using magldr and I find it easy switching between ROMS,because I am used to it.I cannot vouch for clk ,because I have not tried it yet,but I'm told it is much more native to android,therefore more user friendly.
If I were you,stick with magldr for a while,then change to see the difference..

Yeah but with MAGLDR you have to boot into MAGLDR, then into CWM, then select to do a backup, then select to wipe your data your cachje and delvik cache, then go and select to flash your ROM. With cLK you install ROM Manager from the Android market then just open ROM manager and select "Install ROM from SD Card" then pick the ROM from SD card. Then a window opens in ROM Manager and you check the box to :"Backup Existing ROM", "Wipe Data and Cache", and "Wipe Delvik Cache". Then you tap ok and it automatically boots into CWM and executes all the commands then flashes the ROM and reboots the device when it is done flashing the ROM. Remember you did all the set up in Android itself. Plus ROM Manager has like a hole bunch of other options. You seee ROM Manager is a interface for CWM in Android. You can even use ROM manager to flash CWM, I just flashed to CWM version 3.1.0.0 tonight with it, and gues what that is because it told me it was a update avaliable for CWM when I opened ROM Manager. Not to mention the fact you do not have to worry about making CWM the right partition size anymore cuase cLK sets the partition sizes when you flash, it is like auto pilot. But the best of all you can actually turn your HD2 off and charge it using cLK, you don't get that with MAGLDR.

Hi,
So you can set the partition size in android?
Does that mean you can load a ROM without the use of a PC?

That looked quite strange to me. I had to choose right CWM first, before flashing the ROM. on my Desire HD i'm able to download the ROM with the DHD and afterwards flashing it directly from the SD-Card.
Yes, without using a PC. Dunno if it's possible like that on the LEO using CLK.
Bu i've got a Question about CLK. If using it, is it hard to switch back to a WinMobile ROM?
Switching back to winmo is the same for both magldr and clk,,,, flash your phones correct stock rom.
I can't add anything to the pros and cons of clk, I plain and simply can't get it to instal. I suspect its something left over from when I installed the android sdk and eclipse, followed by wp7 sdk , just can't get the command line to pass commands to the phone (required to initially set up clk)
Next time I clean reinstall my PC I'll try again, but till then magldr for me.(which is fine, I've always preferred doing stuff manually, automation takes the fun out of it for me)

From what I understand cLK sets the partition size when using it so you do not have to. I mean you can flash CWM via ROM Manager and it does not ask you what partition size you want, it just flashes it. Also you can download and flash a ROM just using ROM manager, you never have to touch a computer. Now granted the only ROM I see available right now is Hyperdriod and a Cyanogen Mod ROMs, but I am sure more will become available when more people switch to cLK and can use ROM Manager. Right now when I touch on Download ROM I see this.

Hey San have you tryied adding the directory to your "Enviroment Variables" on your computer. This will allow you to open a command prompt up that is in the directory you need to get CWM flashed. Click on my guide and scroll down to post#3 where I expain how to flash CWM with cLK and I give full details.
Hi Friends
I have been facing an issues with ClockworkMod Recovery since last night. Its been two or three days I have been flashing like mad man . Flashed many different ROMs and when I went to try another one it was not showing ROM in the root of SD card. I formated the card and tried again but no gain.
I flashed another recovery version but still the same problem.
Now it shows some ROM zip files and it does not show other. Yesterday I tried Coredroid and it did work then I installed hyperdroid and now again I want to install coredroid but its not showing though hyperdroid is visible.
What could be the problem and how to solve this.
Please guide.
Thanks

Run all flashes with admin rights
1. download task 29 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781[/INDENT]
2. when the phone starts immedately keep lower vol key pressed..load the rom there itself after connecting usb.
3. then (sing step 2 flash hspl 2.08 not 2.08.00)
3. then flash magldr v 1.13 rom update (again using step 2)
4.then flash latest cwm usin "5 USB Flasher" in the magldr v1.13 menu
5. now after reboot goto ad recovery(this will load cwm)
6. in cwm go into mounts and storage and mount usb mass storage

agreed awsm rom
will this also work on other phones (without bricking it..)??
i have this same problem on my LG optimus 2x
thx
it won't work when you use the steps above cause this is the guide to install android on a winmo device. just try installing cwm again.
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.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
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
