Flash NAND from SD

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".

Windows Phone 7.
Get your port fixed, or If you can try to flash cwm recovery.

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.

Yessss. Please make a way to flash new partitions with sdcard. I have a USB port with a broken contact between the mainboard and the USB port that can't be fixed.

The same way you flashed WP7. That is, of course, the Android ROM you want is USB flashable. If it is a Zip, you need to follow the instruction for flashing from an SD card. Android ROMs that flash from a card (CWM) will have instructions. And there are a few ROM that flash both ways; from USB or card.

here you go! think backwards... how did you install WMP7??? and how did you first install NANDroid??? then theres your answers!... good luck

All you have to do is Task29 from bootloader then re-install MAGLDR then follow the instructions from the Android Build you choose

[Q] flash wp7 to android then maybe back again

Is it bad to flash wp7 on an hd2 then if you get bored flash Android and yet again flash wp7 after awhile???

No.. as long as you perform a task29 once in a while then you should be fine.. Just don't loose the Key for WP7 if you have one..
I switch around all the time

I know to do this we can boot into MAGLDR and install the Nand Android Rom. However is that all there is to it or do I have to reformat the sd card first? If so how do we do this? Thanks.

please help about magldr

If i install magldr will it erase my windows 6 off my htc hd2 leo tmobile?

Yes it wipes the place where WinMo is and replaces it with MAGLDR. If you want to keep WinMo and flash Android just flash it via SD card.

I think what Skellyy means is copy a exstacted Adroid file from a SD card build and run Android from SD card. Just wanted to clearify. But Skellyy has a very good point, I suggest you try it.

ok can i back up the t-mobile rom? and if i can, can i reinstall it later? and also if i install windows 7 or android will it keep the t-mobile settings? sorry for asking so many questions but im a noob and its all about the knowledge

You can flash the original stock ROM from the Tmo site if you don't want to keep MAGLDR on it. I'm sure there are apps for winmo to backup your apps/programs incase you want to go back. And yeah you'll keep your settings as the phone will detect them on the SIM card.

You can back up certain aspects and settings with apps like Microsoft My Phone and SPB backup. SPB backup will do more than Microsoft My Phone but it is paid app also plus with back up apps such as SPB backup you have to use the same ROM or you will have problems arise. All you have to do to reinstall the ROM is download the ROM and flash it then use the back up you used before you went Andoid or WP7. Most Android ROMs have mutiple APN settings preconfigured and does a search on the first boot and ask if the settings for your carrier is the ones house want to use. I have no idea about WP7 as I have not tried it or are very interested in it.

ty for you help guys i have decided to just boot android off sd because i use my phone for work and afraid to brick it lol

You shhould do it dude. Tgerpe will always be somebody to help. TMac and Sam come to mind. It's actually easier to flash Android then to brick your phone.
One of the only ways that I know of is flashing a wrong radio but as long as you have a Tmo just make sure you don't flash a .51 radio.

If you feel more comfortable going with a SD card build that is cool cause in the end it is up to you to make sure you are doing everrthing right and don't mess your HD2 up. The SD card build are 100% safe as they can bot mess your HD2 up cause nothing is flashed to the phone meaning nothing is changed in the NAND memory. But if you really want to go NAND and try Android or WP7 it is not realky complicated the only real difference between going Android and WP7 is you have to use the MAGLDR USB flasher to flash the WP7 where with Android you can use MAGLDR USB flasher or the SD flasher, you can also installments Clock Work Mod (CWM) and use it to flash Android.Here are to links to guides on flashing Android. But if you follow them through to the point that you have MAGLDR flashed you are then ready to flash WP7.
MSkip's guide (wich is a little old now but still good) also use HSPL 4 instead of HSPL 3 as he says in the guide as HSPL has been updated to support HD2 SPL 3.03.0000.

I'd take slight issue with that statement. Not that its wrong as such, the phone is indeed insanely unlikely to be damaged, but I have seen lots of posts, (and it happened to me more than once, , ,) where after running SD Droid the phone would get stuck loading winmo sense at boot, and require a hard reset. Not damaging, but a pain none the less.
Course thousands of people use SD every day, just making aware of the potential side effects.

Thanks for the tip Sam as I have not heard of that from anyone. You have also been around herr a lot longer than I as well. It is a major pain to have to bard reset your HD2 but if this is the only negative effect. Then I would say it is exceptable side effect. I have read some post about after extended use of Android from SD it has ruined a SD card requiring the purchase of a new one. I have also read a few post about concerns of the added wear and tear on the SD card reader in the HD2, but have not seen any real prof this should be a concern. Thanks again for you dvice though Sam.
At the OP some say it runs faster from NAND then from SD I have not tried a NAND Android ROM yet so I csn give no personal feed back on this. Maybe others can give you some feed back on this question. But from my use of Android on SD I can notsee where it would actually perform any faster. Now the boot up time is drasticly dropped down with the NAND Android ROMs I do know that.

[Q] Android on SD with cLK 1.5?

Hey everyone,
I know there's probably another thread out there with this in but searching for a while has been fruitless now - maybe because this question is stupid. However, I'd like to know if it's possible to install an SD build of Android with cLK 1.5 as opposed to magldr. I would task 29 and use magldr, but sense builds don't work with it on my phone for some reason :S Whenever they boot with magldr I get a strange black and white striped screen and the phone bootloops. My fix for that was to try cLK which works perfectly. But I'd like to now install a Sense 4 ROM to my SD card to test it out, whilst keeping a stable sense ROM on my nand, just because it's stable and I don't want to upset the applecart too much
In short - any way to install SD Android ROMs through cLK 1.5?
Thanks!
