[Q] Possible to Flash Clockworkmod Recovery w/o USB Connection?

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)

Help - NAND installation MGLDR

Hi guys
Im currently an SD user.
I want to install this via nand: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250703
I used to use MGLDR etc, is there an easy way to install this? As i cannot find exact info. As there is stuff like CLK and clockwork recovery mod.
Can anynone provide me an easy installation method to do this?
I will really appreciated. I love Android, i dont think i want to boot via WM anymore, and im sure this will also increase the performance? Thanks!!

Have you even tried to look for everything yourself?
I mean, you should have looked for "what is cLK, MAGLDR and CWM?"After doing that little search you should have known that the easiest way to do it is through the NAND toolkit stickied in the NAND forum after (of course) choosing which bootloader you want to use

I would start here:

after install MGLDR 1.13, my HD2 Doesnt start
Hi,
After installing MGLDR 1.13 my HTC HD2 doesnt start, I have just the HTC screen(whit screnn with HTC in green), it's freeze no menu.... nothing at all, just the white HTC Screen
Can please some one help me

You need to install a rom... download a daf file rom for your hd2 on to your computer... unzip it... run the daf file... do all this your phone have to be plug in to your computer... in magldr... select USB flash... wait for it to say.... USB....USB. then run daf file that you just unzipped....
Or install clockwork mod recovery (install through USB flasher) with the right partition for the rom.... the rom have to be for magldr... the downloaded rom also have to be transfer to your SD... but into magldr... select ad recovery... then follow prompt... this is the best way to flash rom...

Google or Search here how to flash HSLP to a version needed for this ROM. Be sure also having the right MAGDLR version installed after HSPL. (easier to change than SPL).
I recommend using CWM. (press long red button while booting - go 8. Recovery AD - mount USB - get .zip of ROM on SD and install from .zip)
I recommend you to make sure your SPL version and MAGLDR versions are right before continuing. Also a total wipe or SD formatting (just search here for the stickies) must be (optional) done.
The white screen comes from ? Just guess ? Did you install a ROM ?

If it were no rom flashed, it would stop at the magldr menu. If a phone goes straight to bootscreen after flashing magldr it means either the spl isn't 2.08.hspl or the radio isn't a 2.xx.50.
@neolan enter bootloader, set 2.08.hspl, re enter bootloader, flash radio 2.15.50, the phone will now start into magldr and you can proceed flashing cwm.

[Q] HD2 stuck at boot: bricked?

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 :
tinypic.com/r/25i3f9c/5
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!

[Q] **** Solved **** Cannot install Nand Roms....

:victory:****** Solved *******
Hi, thank you for all of your help and assistance.
It was all down to selecting the correct partitions (and me getting over enthusiastic in flashing roms and not reading FULLY on how and what partitions are required)
I have used HD2 Nand toolkit, and partitioned MAGLDR, then partitioned SD card within Clockworkmod.
Thank you all again for pointing me in the right direction...
Good Evening All,
I am sorry if this has been covered. I have searched the forums but cannot find an answer.
I have read all the FAQ and How-to's.
I am not an exact newbie, I have owned a HD2 before (about 2 years ago) and could install all sorts of different roms (including NAND)
I have Installed my Radio 2.15.50.14
I have installed HARD SPL 2.08
I have Installed MAGdlr 1.13
I ahve installed clockwork mod recovery 1.3 with 400M
Copied rom to root of SD Nexus HD2 jellybean v1.2 [dataonext]
and I have installed Nexus HD2 jellybean v1.2 [dataonext]
this installed fine,
I then decided to try another,
I downloaded QSEA_JB-MUSIC EDITION_V1 and placed on root of SD,
I booted into Magldr, then into clockwork mod
from here i wipe data, and factory reset,
wipe cache partition
and wiped delvic cache.
Then i install zip from sd card QSEA_JB-MUSIC EDITION_V1
when this is done,
It asks me to reboot,
Then it stays on the boot screen, and the rom does not load.....
I can restore the back up from the original rom install. but whatever rom I install (from Nand rom downloads) none of them install...
Please help...
Matt

1-Why? Use the HD2 NAND Toolkit to partition your system according to the developer.
2- Never reboot directly from the "reboot now" option of amarullz's installer. Instead, uncheck the "reboot now" option, click finish and reboot manually from CWM.
(The reboot option somehow makes your rom not boot, at least that happens to me every time)

Thanks,
I will give it a go!
Have already downloaded toolkit, and just watching the video on how to use...
Matt:fingers-crossed:

So, do I just use Magldr to partition and don't install CWM?
I tried to re-partition with CWM, but lost magldr.....
What am I doing wrong?
Still cannot install NAND rom.
Going to do Task 29 again, where from there??
Thanks for your help and patience...

try the links below, it might help

I don't use magldr, so I am not sure.
But I think you have to "MAGLDR recovery update" first, and then after it finishes you have to "magdlr repartition". Im not sure though.

How do I just install clockwork mod? Without using Magldr?
If I Task29 first,
What's my next step.....?

After Task29 (don't do task29 again) you have to do the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25781675#post25781675 until you see the "recovery" .. from there, dont continue to flashing wp7, just put your rom on your sd and flash it from recovery. (don't forget to thank the the one who made the thread/guide)
Don't forget to NOT use 300mb, but use the one written on your rom's thread.

You can't have CWM without MAGLDR. If you've flashed CWM you shouldn't have lost MAGLDR at all, so I don't know what you did wrong. Task 29s are also almost always useless and unnecessary, if a guide says 'task 29' as the first step then usually you can just skip that part. I find that the best guide is the one in my sig, try it out.

[Q] Running android but how do i know?

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
