What exactly is not working? Wont boot or wont install?
First i can think of is either Task 29 or flash back to winmo and then back to magldr again
Than need for your reply Rubikum.
Sorry, I meant, it wont boot.

you using the correct partition size for the rom?
It wont boot to what? MAGLDR, wont boot past MAGLDR (sd kernal fail), not starting at all, only going to splash screen? Do you have MAGLDR installed?
MAGLDR does not charge while the phone is off and i have had a few times when i thought my phone was messed up but it was just a dead battery. If you can just try and turn it on every once in awhile to check but make sure its plugged in while doing it incase it does start it will start charging. I bought 2 spare batteries and a wall charger that charges the spares without a cable for around $8 on ebay.
check out ebay if you cant get ahold of a different battery. Its worth a try. Here's something like what i bought.
I use the right partitions. After installing rom, when I reboot, It always gets stuck on boot screen. And its not a battery problem

Do you format your sd card and do task 29? It can mess with previosly rom..
If its a rom that needs sd ext, and u have patritioned sd ext in comp, make sure its a primary/active partition, else ur ext partition wont be mounted. To check it, try mount/format sd ext frm cwm. If it fails, its secondary/inactive type.
Here it goes:- biggest one is active/primary patrition with fat32, next bigger is active/primary with ext3/4, the smallest will be linux swap.
I promise, i had encounderd the same problem in my own rom(will be releasing in 2days) which needs ext partition as a must, it stuck on boot , since i have played with my sd partitions, in comp, using mini partition tool. And formatted ext as secondary/inactive while i got my 6gb fat32 as active /primary. Then i found that my phone cant mount ext, by above said cwm check. So i formated it to active. And rom booted.
The simple way to format is using cwm.

I agree with showlyshah. Normally if your stuck at the boot screen its because the partition was not set up correctly. I personally use and suggest Mini-Tool Partition Wizard. Its free and works great. You can download it here from cnet downloads.

Dear xda users,
My Girlfriend got a HD2 and I installed Android on it.
She used SD versions but she kills them everytime.
After a month the phone got stock on boot screen.
Then i tried to install NAND Roms but after 2 months of smooth running the same problem again... (example: Coredroid, and sense roms)
I think that the problem is that when the phone freeze she pull the battery out and after a few times the phone won't boot anymore.
Followed all the noob friendly guides.
Followed all the instructions in the post of every rom.
Installed the recommed radio, MAGDLR, CMW, data partions that were in the instructions
Common problem on sense roms?
Should i try to install no sense rom?
(Got experience with Desire HD flashing and Touch pro 2)

Hi,
It could be that with all the battery pulling, that the pins could be bent.
Make sure they are all straight.
Buy her an iphone, then she can't pull the battery! :-D

I don't think it's hardware related.. Because i can boot in the MAGLDR without any problems.. But when i wan't to boot android it hangs on the coredroid boot logo
(This happends with all roms (sense) i tried so far)
Boot into magldr and re run the rom from there,cleare the caches firsr ot course
Then glue the battery in - buy a tazer and promise her a double dose if she pulls the battery again
lol, hahaha

ive seen a few posts where people have struggled with getting past boot logo, think it was fine after using a different partition in recovery but as your device is for the sd build am not quite sure how that works as Ive never had sd android or if having sd requires clockwork mod recovery? if so try different partition as i said earlier if not hang on till someone has the answer

Problems almost always occur after a few weeks or months of use for me, just reflash the ROM, and you'll good to go.
removing the battery is not recommended, it can corrupt files on the sd-card. Try to boot without sd-card and see if it helps. If your ROM does boot, it means the SD card is corrupted, you can try to backup the SD card and restore it after completely wiping the sd-card.
If your rom doesn't boot, than it meant there's something else going on, maybe corrupted flash, so reflash and try again. This will delete all your data, so be careful
if your girlfriend is not an daily flasher also might i suggest using a daf build. All the configuration is done for you. if you are using a sd build from magldr than make sure you change the name of the build than edit the startup txt like this "rel_path=whatever you name the build(example: "rel_path=MIUIROM nand_boot=1") the 1 for magldr 0 for windows 6.5. the reason for me saying this is all android builds create a folder android when they boot up with all your info like data and cache is in there. So its best to separate the two just in case you want to boot up more than two builds from sd.
Same here.
could be a bad block in your NAND memory. you can check this with cLK and fastboot.
see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13600733&postcount=9
i checked mine and there was a bad block in the userdata. i think that is wy my phone was freezing.
now i have flashed cLK and untill now its working great!
Ok i am using core droid 1.6 was working fine, batter when down to 5% so i took battery out and recharged externally like i do, put it back in, didnt work gets to htc screen then doesnt move from there. I tried to format the sd card using mgldr that seemed to stall after waiting 15mins, i then tried to reflash the zip of core droid 1.6 and that worked but its still stuck on htc screen?
Go the the coredroid thread and post there,
But delete all partitions on the sd card format as a primary partition of fat 32 use EASEUS free edition or similar - vai a card reader and pc of course.
Task 29 the phone then follow the coredroid instructions on flashing again

easiest thing is to reflash the recovery partition and re install the rom... that will wipe the phone clean
Task 29 is really only when you're switching between windows and android and is really not necessary as it helps with creation of bad blocks on our nand....
Sorry i am slightly confused, my usb doesnt work so can i still sort this out ?

No you have to have a working USB port to flash back to Android. You can flash the stock ROM and MAGLDR or even cLK via SD card but you can not flash a custom recovery without a working USB port. You have to have a custom recovery to flash Android. And you can not use option #5 USB flasher in MAGLDR to flash a DAF ROM without a working USB port. Sorry but that is the issue you are looking at.
Hi,
I've got an HTC HD2 here, with Android installed on it. (NAND, I believe.)
It was bought second-hand with Android pre-installed.
Because it was still linked to the google account of the previous owner, I had to restore the whole phone to factory settings. Since that didn't work, I've just decided to install another Rom.
After some messing around, I managed to install Clockworkrecovery. (It wouldn't boot for some mysterious reason) And then I installed an Android Rom. (Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 3.5 Runnymede)
After some time, the phone rebooted and got stuck on the Android boot screen.
I tried to install another Rom, but now they all get stuck on the boot screen. (I have tried another Runnymede rom, and RCMix3D)
Does anybody know how I can fix this?
I wiped my Dalvik Cache, I wiped my Cache partition, I wiped my data/factory reset. I am using the MAGLDR as boot thingie, but that's working perfectly.
I have formatted my SD-card with G-Parted, on my Ubuntu-PC. (First partition FAT32-750MB, Second partition EXT3 - 1GB and a Linux-Swap of 100MB)
For some strange reason, ClockworkRecovery cannot format my SD-card. (Well, it says it can, but as soon as I stick the card in my PC, the PC tells me it's corrupted. (Windows XP on my Father's PC tells me it has to be formatted, on my Ubuntu it doesn't show up as mountable)
Thank you in advance
P.S. I don't mind losing data, there's no personal data on it. Any solution (which doesn't involve buying a new phone) will do.
Quickest solution I would try is format the entire card to fat32, and see if your pc detects it. Once it does, put the rom on it, put in in the phone, boot into clockwork format data/cache/dalvik install the rom then reboot and see if it goes past the bootscreen (keep in mind first boot takes a while, but if it takes more than 2-3 minutes theres still a problem.
Do you know what partition layout of clockwork you installed by any chance? Some roms require specific layouts in order to work correctly.
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortanetly, that didn't work.
I have installed Clockworkmod like they say on jayceooi dot com. (I cannot past links yet, but here's the step-by-step guide:
Step by Step Guide
Power on your phone and don’t let go power button.
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded.
Use volume down button to go down to 5. USB Flasher.
Then press call button to load USB Flasher mode.
Connect USB cable from PC to phone.
You should see Wait USB…USB.
At PC, right click on DAF.exe and select ‘Run as administrator’.
Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
Follow onscreen instructions to install.
Phone will be rebooted after installation finished.
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded then.
Disconnect USB cable from phone.
Use volume down button to go down to 8. AD Recovery.
Then press call button.
ClockworkMod Recovery will be loaded then.
That’s all.)
I used the 150MB-Partition one.
Didnt work how? Does the pc detect the sd card now after you formatted?
The directions you posted are right, so maybe try a different partition layout. The roms that you said you tried use different layouts than what you have and that may be a problem. Test a CM7 rom and see if it will boot, they tend to have less problems and are overall more stable than sense roms.
I recommend Typhoons rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
Try to install it and see if it boots. It uses the same partiton layout that you have now. If it boots, thats indication that you may need a different layout if you want to run a sense rom.
Well, I could re-format my sd-card and re-partition it, but it (Android) still got stock at the boot screen.
Using the Typhoon rom, I got the same problem. The Rom appears to be succesfully installed, but it didn't really boot.
I now tried to installed Windows Phone 7, this works fine. (I don't want to install WP7 however, I want to install android)
I tried the following too: (Post by a3r0n1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18868874&postcount=14

At the "Using "HD2 Toolkit" select "Magldr repartition" Make sure that you are using the recommended partition size for your rom!" part, I got an error that the file was too big when I tried to choose a partition of 300MB, I honestly have no idea what the partition size should be. (I want a sense-rom, I don't have a clear preference which)
I did install the Clockworkmod with 400MB with succes now.
However, still got the same problem. Android seems to get in a loop somewhere in the boot screen
EDIT:
I noticed that the Micro-SD card always corrupts after CWM installs the Android-Rom.
I think that may be the core of the issue here.
Does anybody know how I can install Android without CWM?
Are u repartitioning the phone? That might be the problem. Hope this helps

I manager to install an old Desire-based rom with Android 2.2 through a daf installation.
This one works fine but I still would like to install a Rom with Android 2.3 via a more regular way.
One problem I'm facing with this Rom is a very limited amount of internal storage. (about 55MB)
And I've got a big battery leak, the battery drains very fast. Much faster than my Desire HD. (The HTC HD2 we're talking about isn't mine, It's my mother's)
So does anyone know how I can install a regular Rom (preferably runnymede based) without CWM? Or does anyone know how I can resolve my problem?
@akaruna: I do not know how to partition the phone, I believe I didn't do that. Should I? I did partition the SD card. (CWM made unreadable cards for some obscure reasons, so I partitioned the SD card using gparted on Ubuntu)
Thanks in Advanced
Sjoerd
If you have limited internal storage then the main problem is the partition table is not correct. This is also why the roms you install are stuck on the bootscreen. When you install roms that require a bigger partition table than what you already have on your phone they will be stuck in a bootloop.
Go and download the HD2 NAND TOOLKIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
Check out the video to familiarize yourself with the features, then repartition your MAGLDR with the correct partition table that the rom you want requires. Go into clockwork and install rom from zip.
Yes the tool kit is the best.
Yea the toolkit works wonders. Even though I still do it the original way ;p I do everything faster that way for some reason

Oh and yes, always read the thread from that certain Tom so that way u know exactly what partition table/size to use. Usually linked also.

I tried it again with this rom: "[18Dec 2011] [CMR] Sensation xl Sense3.5/2.3.5 v2.7 BETA OC & marc1706 0.1.3 kernel" (I believe I'm still not allowed to post links)
I used the NAND toolkit this time for the System Partition Size.
The only thing I actually did was clicking 350MB as System Partition Size and then I clicked repartition. And then I followed the on-screen instructions, which involved clicking next and after some installing some drivers everything went fine. (With the HD2 in USB-flash mode of course, it also said the job was completed succesfully)
I wasn't able to choose a bigger size for some reason, it told me the 400MB was too big.
Still the same problem, the phone gets stuck at the Android boot-screen.
Does anybody have an idea? Thanks in advance (Again, I'm not scared of losing any data, if anyone has any solution at all: I'm more than happy to hear it)
I tried another DAF rom and got the following error:
"Error Description: Size is too big.
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (800)"
So I tried repartitioning the System Partition Size (MAGLDR) to 400Mb.
However, It gave me the exact same error.
Does anyone know has any idea? (For example, how I can change the partitions in another way)
(Partitioning it at 360MB works fine)
Not sure what it is but the DAF file I use let me partition to 445...... those sense time are heavy and if the partition isn't right it will bootloop or not

I had someone install Android direct to the phone (NAND), and wipe out Windows altogether. I'm trying to reprogram because after working fine for 5 months, the signal goes in and (totally) out randomly.
Sooooo, I've got root, aMAGLDR V1.3, Kernel 2.6.32.15, and I'm running ROM Manager...but I don't know what the hell I'm doing, really. Oh, and I downloaded some ROMs to my microSD.
And there's a catch. My USB port is totally loose now, so we need to do this without plugging in.
Is it possible?
If I boot into aMAGLDR, and I choose
1. Boot WPH, I get: WPH not installed
2. Boot AD SD, I get: SD Kernal Open Failed
3. Boot AD NAND, starts my old crappy ROM
4, 5, and 6 are USB (non)options
7. AD Hardreset: Do you want to erase all data? No, I don't.
8. AD Recovery: Invalid boot image header
9 Tetris: Press Enter to start, and then it doesn't start, and then I get sad.
If someone walks me through this (here, pm, Skype, Google Talk, Facebook, phone, whatever) I'll Paypal ya $20. If a bunch of people post the right answer, I'll split it, but don't fight over it. This is meant to be a fun little challenge, and a way for me to learn a little.
So, the race is on. Or is it?
You got magdlr installe. Do you have the recovery installed too? that would be the next thing you would have to flash and not to need a cable. the rest is easy and dont need a cable but you do need your sdcard. Being that you havent stated whether your phone is a eu model or a us model I will take the chance and say its the us model, next question is do you plan to use a ext partition of the sdcard? If you are then you need tpartition the sdcard from the recovery partition (CWR) after you have then you can copy the rom of your choice to the sdcard on your computer, then insert the sdcard into the phone and then flash the rom. if you dont plan to use an ext card, then skip that step and just copy thre rom onto the sdcard, flash and reboot.
A loose usb means nothing as long as it work thats all that matters, plus if the usb is loose then you have a bigger problem, how do you plan to recharge the phone?
U have milion solutions on forum for ur problems but if u really need help pm me i will give u skype or gtalk and I will most likely solve that for you cause i played a lot with my HD2

I use an external charger to recharge the batteries.
Can't use rom manager with magldr, if you run it it will break the cwm instal, and I suspect you already did hence "8 ad recovery" not working.
Rom manager now works with magldr hd2. U can flash recovery. And in turn flash rom to nand.

It covers clk, recovery everything. No usb needed.
The only thing is once you boot into recovery go to mounts and format all that has a format option. After you format everything,power down remover sd card and transfer your rom onto it. Then power back on and boot into recovery again and flash rom, reboot and enjoy !

Not only does this appear to be a rather rude response (don't know if that's what you intended) but this is also a rather pointless thread. There are countless guides on how to install NAND Android (my favourite being this one) and if you had done any research you would have known beforehand that ROM Manager and MAGLDR don't work well together. I really don't know what showlyshah means when he says that ROM Manager now supports MAGLDR because as far as I know it isn't true and there would be loads of threads about it.
It's not a rude at all. I've done tons of research on these forums.
The problem lies in the fact that those of us who are not programmers don't have a base level of knowledge that is assumed in these forums. Couple that with all the acronyms that are new to us, and it's a puzzle to figure this stuff out.
Every time I program a new device I say, AHHHH! That was sooooo easy...once I knew the steps. Until then, it's impossible.
Have u do it or not ?
Here's where I'm at. I followed that guide. THANK YOU so much-I hadn't seen that one before.
I tried to install a ROM after I installed clk, and got stuck in a loop. At least I'm gettting a different result.
I've started over, and I've got CLK on the phone now. Now, Which ROM should I install?
Thanks for your help.
Updated update.
The rom I tried to install is HyperDroid-CM7-Licking-Lobster-v5.6.0-cLK-signed
When I started my phone, it just goes back and forth between a screen with an "H" on a twirling cube, and that splashing into the Android dude...and splashing back. Left it for 45 minutes.
Now, clk says it installs, but when I start, I'm back to the Android/H loop.
Like I said, I need someone to walk me through this.
Reinstalled. Same loop. Trying the Nexus Rom.
If I try to boot through HBoot to NAND I get:
Normal boot ...

t mobile USA cut their own deal with HTC, to make a hd2 with double internal rom and a little more ram. (And in teh process gave their customers a device with an insta-kill switch, which they no doubt regretted when thousands were returned bricked in teh first few months of release)
if your hd2 has red+green end+send keys, and says 't mobile' beneath the earpiece, its a 'tmous' (T MObile US) which is slightly different to teh rest of teh worlds hd2's.
If you have white keys,you have a regular hd2.
Well the title says it all, I've tried the ROMs past V55 and they all stuck on the logo screen. Tried now ICS ROM and doesn't go past logo. I've done Task 29 and cleared every cache and format the SD and put best radio version. Nothing. help....
Did you use the right partition size? That sounds like the problem to me.
Perhaps I don't really know how to partition. I've used the 400mb recovery and partitioned a 1024mb sd folder under the add-recovery->advanced->Partition SD Card
they demanded above 180, which does raise some eyebrows.
Hd2 toolkit is ur friend.
