[Q] How to backup my current state (ROM)

Hello,
Wonder if you could help me with this:
I have a brand new stock LEO (512mb version). I would like to flash to WP7, but I would like to have the option to revert to exactly the same state as now (for warrenty).
My rom is a custom Orange Israel ROM, which I doubth will be available for downloading, so is there a way to back it up now so I could reflash it later?
Is there something like NANDROID for leo?
Also, what does this says to you:
"boots WPH from nand"?
Does WPH means windows phone? does NAND means that backup solution for android? what does it have to do with booting?
Thanks

1) You cannot dump your original ROM as backup
2) Please check here if you find your original ROM: Click!
(Since you didn´t mention the version, I couldn´t check)
3) Ask Orange if there is a download link for your ROM
4) Yes, there are Android NAND ROMs for HD2, check the HD2 Android section
5) WPH most probably means Windows Phone 7, another option for HD2
6) NAND means the internal flash memory of your device, where your ROM is stored.
After first and secondary bootloaders, this is where the phone loads the operating system. In a broad view, comparable to the BIOS of a PC (bootloader) and the internal harddisk (NAND) where the OS (and much more) is stored.

Hi thanks alot for your answer, but I'm still confused.
As I Understand, MAGLDR is something that lets me load an OS from SD, instead of from the actual, phisical ROM. right?
In tutorials that I have read, it says that MAGLDR is a requirement for the WP7 port. So it means that the WP7 OS is loaded from SD?
How does it sattles with the following thread?

(in which someone asks if WP7 can be ran from SD and is answered negatively)
Thanks is advance

MAGLDR actually makes your HD2 capable of running WP7 or Android from the NAND memory instead of WinMo 6.5 - and an optional operating system from SD memory.
Considering it this way, you were right, except you mixed up SD card and NAND.
Some people want to run 2 operating systems on their HD2 - MAGLDR makes this possible because you can select to run from NAND or SD.
But, the only OS for HD2 which runs from SD (as of today) is Android - means, WP7 and WinMo 6.5 only run from NAND.
(And you cannot put 2 OS´s into NAND).

Ohhhh NAND != SD
So if WP7 is not SD yet, the current port make it run from NAND. Why then is MAGLDR a requirement for WP7? can't I just flash it the good old fashion way?
And on a completely different subject:
I understand I need HSPL 2.08 for the WP7 port.
In the thread , the latest version is 4, but it says "*Includes 2.08 OSPL, 2.08 HSPL, 3.03 OSPL, 3.03 HSPL.
You can install any of this"
So should I download ver 2 or 4?
Again thanks alot, you are really helpful.

MAGLDR actually loads after SPL, but it is needed to load another operating system than the native Windows Mobile 6.5.
For MAGLDR, you must have HSPL 2.08.
Virtually all custom ROMs with WinMo 6.5 are also compatible with 2.08.HSPL.
In case your stock ROM (usually version 3.xx) comes with SPL 3.03, you could easily flash back to this with HSPL4.exe - in case your stock ROM has a version number 1.xx, you might use HSPL2.exe (which offers OSPL and HSPL in 1.42, 1.66 and 2.08 versions).
Btw, "OSPL" means "original SPL".

I'm currently running OSPL 1.42, So according to your instructions, I will use HSPL2.exe to install 2.08.
Thank you, ++ to your thanks meter

[Q] HD2 wont boot android off SD

Hi guys i need help i feel like a newb i have put several different version of android on a 16gb SD card that i purchased today. (lost the original) and i cant get any version to boot. It will say jumping to kernel and will not boot past the htc screen.
I got this HD2 as a replacement in the mail last week.
my am size is 576 megs and my radio is 2.15.50.14
Any ideas???

You might want to reformat the SD to a FAT format. That format will work the best with Android on the HD2.

with fat intend fat32 ?

Hi,I have the exact same problem,I'm using the same radio as u.I use energy rom the latest one I think the problem is cause by the rom. with magldr android works fine.btw u need the sd to be formated to fat32. I say try to install a different rom it might help, i'm gonna try that out too.

i had tried 2 rom and the result is the same, i had format sd card but haret doesn't work

Did u try to flash to magldr 1.13 and then flash a nand android?
after all u want the android more than winmo 6.5 ,no?
I'm checking out now artemis rom with android soon will see how it works.

at the moment i don't want install android on nand, i want try android from sd with haret.
Before the hspl procedure, with the original rom all working good, now, with hspl 2.08 and custom rom no.

some one else posted the same question.and they found an answer m8.
say thx to this guy if works - h.nocturna
I think renaming to it's original name makes a huge difference!
If I were to rename to Android, it wouldn't start up anymore!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so if u unrar an android build copy all of it and don't rename it to android or copy just the android folder.
and try to format it to FAT32 and 8kb clusters before.
I'm testing this out now,hope it works.

eureka !!!
i've update the radio with one up then 2.08,..... and now my leo is in android booting.
try it

what radio version your using?
still not working for me.. even from magldr sd...

2.10.50.08-2

ok thx ,I flashed the latest radio again,and android nand works and boot ad sd works too. so if it still won't work booting android from winmo I will downgrade my radio version seems like it works.

I think your problem is you really need to update you software. Go here: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/, select the HTC HD2 and download the 3.14.531.1 version. Then since your using the SD installation, I suggest this rom here: http://androidadvices.com/htc-hd2-steps-to-install-android-2-3-gingerbread-os/. N.B - I used the 1Gb img file for best results (for me). Updating your software as I said earlier will definitely fix your problem because for sd installation it is always recommended to have at least 2.15 rom version but 3.14.531 will be better. Good luck.

Just so you know it does not matter, Windows Mobile ROM you have on your HD2 if you flash a NAND Android ROM. When you flash MAGLDR or cLK to your HD2 it removes what ever Windows Mobile ROM you have and installs MAGLDR or cLK ,which ever bootloader you chose, to the same area or ROM partition of the NAND memory. The only time it mattersWindows Mobile ROM you use as far as Android is concered is when you use a Android SD card build.

Where can I find an explanation of why the Windows Mobile ROM matters when doing the Android SD card build? Does it only matter upon the bootup before you load haret, or is Windows Mobile still loaded even after launching Haret?

Android in my hd2 now!!

HI MATES,,,,i´ve just aquired the mitical hd2 wm phone for my collection and i need some help for start my own personalization...
1-i don´t want WM on my hd2 only android,,, is better via sd or via nand?
and what´s the better tutorial for to install android from WM 6.5???
i desire flash it to be able for to flash and try a lot of android roms of the hd2 i love sense 3
i´m looking for tutorials but there are a lot! i need the most easier...also i need to install a recovery menú of course...
thank´s mates!!!
see you here!!!

NAND is better than SD, but follow the steps below, and you can have both
Install HSPL
Flash a X.XX.50.XX radio (like the one in my sig)
Install MAGLDR
Install CWM Recovery with appropriate partition size for the ROM you intend to use (typically the partition size is listed in the first or second post of the ROM's thread)
Download MAGLDR NAND ROM, and place it at the root of your SD card.
Flash the ROM from CWM recovery (AD Recovery from the MAGLDR menu)
Download MAGLDR SD Android build
Extract SD buid .zip file to root of your sd card (so that all the files of the build are in their own folder on the root of your card, not all the files themselves on the root of the card)
In MAGLDR, go into Services-->Boot Settings-->AD SD Directory, and choose the folder where your SD Build is.
Now you can boot a ROM from NAND, and boot another Android build from your sd card.
It is a good idea to read all of the tutorials, and get familiar with what you are doing before you do it.
I recommend using the HD2 NAND Toolkit, as it makes flashing HSPL and CWM Recovery easy and convenient.
Just whatever you do, if you have a T-Mobile US HD2, DO NOT flash a X.XX.51.XX radio, or you will permanently brick your device. Just about any other screw ups can be fixed, but flash a 51 radio and you're screwed.
Again, read as much as you can, decide what ROM you want, and follow the steps I've laid out for you, and you can't go wrong.

Here is the best guide IMO. You shouldn't really ask questions like this though, I don't think its right to say 'Android in my HD2 now' and expect everyone to help you, despite there being hundreds of other threads on the same topic, asking the same question and getting the same responses. In future, use the search tool.
