[Q] Problem staying connected NAND while magldr downgrading to 2.0 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

hi all,
we are trying to put android on a HD2 but i work work because we get disconnected from the moment i start downgrading the phone to 2.0.
anyone got a clue to fix this lil problem ?
regards Remon and Teymur

i THINK what you mean is downgrading to spl 2.0??? if i'm correct what you want to downgrade to is actually Hspl 2.08 (if on a USA branded HD2 with 1024 nand and red/green call/end buttons) CHANGING TO HSPL MUST BE DONE FIRST (only the radio can be flashed before)
i can't remember what Hspl is for the EU Leo ... Hspl 3.x ... i believe.
hope i helped. cheers

we are running spl 3.03.0000 now and we need to get it to hspl 2.08 i believe in order to do magldr so we can actually install android on it.
but the usb disconnects we we try magldr to get it to hspl 2.08,
so we probably need an alternative way.
got any clues ?

you need to flash hspl before magldr via bootloader (tri-color screen) then flash mad, etc

Phone off
Into bootloader
Connect USB
run Hspl4 ... make sure you choose 2.08.hspl only
When it reboots go straight back into bootloader
USB
Run magldr installer (no need to change radio if you were running 3.14 rom cos radio will already be fine (((previous post that said radio can be flashed without hspl is wrong)))
When it reboots it will start magldr menu
Choose USB flasher
Use nand toolkit to apply partitioning your target rom requires-this step will also apply cwm (clockwork)
Restart into magldr, option 8 ad recovery
In cwm recovery choose advanced partition SD card (assuming you want an ext partition to increase internal storage,)
Back into cwm mounts and storage, mount SD card, copy across the new rom.zip
In cwm choose flash zip from SD
That's it.

oh, thanks sam. i wasnt sure if anything could be flashed before or not. i knew radio had something special about when it can be flashed, like it needed to be flashed first (if need be) right?

if you were starting from stock, the radio would either be the second or third thing you flashed, , HSPL first, then magldr and radio in either order.
magldr simply wont start 'till the radio (and hspl) are correct.

[Q] Can't flash stock rom after flashing MAGLDR

Ok guys please help me since I couldn't find the answer
I installed on my hd2:
-HSPL 2.08
-Radio 2.15.50.14
-Magldr 1.13
-CMR
First of all I noticed that I dont have to hold the power button to get into the magldr menu.
I couldn't get into Boot As SD so I wanted to flash winmo stock rom from bootloader. Unfortunately I can't do that. Even tried HR. Is there any solution to flash stock ROM
Any help would be greatly appreciated

While your Pbone is off hold the volume down button and momentaraly press the power (end) button this should make the bootloader come up (tri color screen). Once in bootloader plug your USB cable into the computer and phone. wait until you see USB in the white bottom bar of the phone screen and then run the RUU or exe wich ever one you have for the ROM you want to flash, this is for Windows Mobile ROMs only though.
If you want you can use a micro SD card to flash the ROM also. You need a 4G or smaller SD card to do this though the 16GB card that comes with the TMOUS HD2 generaly will not work but you can try it. Take and find the RUU_signed.nbh file in the Rom folder you have, it may not look exactly like that but it will have RUU and .nbh in it. Rename the file leoimg.nbh and copy it to your SD card and repeat the process to go into bootloader and as soon as you see searching appear on your phone screen release the volume up button and the ROM will flash it just might take alittle longer for the ROM to complete the flash this way as compared to using a computer to flash.
Thank you for you reply After several attempts I managed to get my winmo back on
Two questions: So do I still have MAGLDR and CMR after flashin' that stock rom ?
I can see in the bootloader that I'm back on SPL 3.03. Does that mean that I'm back on warranty and HSPL2 is uninstalled?
Thanks!

Yes you lost MAGLDR, HSPL, and CMR when you flashed the stock ROM. If bootloader is showing SPL 3.O3.OOOO then you are stock once again You can always be double sure of this by downloading HSPL 4and run it, when it ask you what version you want to install select 3.03.0000. The ones with SPL and the x.xx.0000 are all stock SPLs but 3.03.0000 is the latest stock SPL.
Thanks you've calmed me down

Thanks so much for the 4g micro sd card suggestion. I was really starting to think I'd stuffed my phone. I had been trying to flash a stock rom using a 16g micro sd card & of course having no luck. So glad I found this thread, keep being a superhero

[Q] how do you activate the htc hd2 ram

I have 448mb ram on my htc hd2 and I heard that it actually has 576mb of ram but it is not activated. I need 576mb of ram in order to install MAGLDR.
so can someone please help and tell me how to activate the 576MB of RAM
thanks in advance
Installed software on phone:
ROM: 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
RADIO: 2.15.50.14
HSPL: 3.03.0000
I need 576mb of ram in order to install MAGLDR

Not correct.
Magldr will activate the ram for you, you don't need to activate it in advance, and indeed if you did activate it (tmous based rom plus 2.08.50 radio or higher) then flashing magldr will remove the rom that activated it in the first place.
So long as you have a correct radio (2.08.50.x or higher) then magldr will work and the ram unlocked. Without the correct radio magldr wont start till you have flashed correct radio.
I have 3.14 rom and radio 2.15.50 would that work???
Where can I download tmous based rom plus 2.08.50 radio or higher???

The radio you have will work, just flash MAGLDR and then flash CWM (look in the ROM thread foe CWM portition size) and then flash your ROM. Click the guide linked in my sig for more assistance, look for the two complete how to install Android guides I have linked at the top of my guide.

please help,thnx

i think it is normal for the device to get stuck on the htc splash screen after installing magldr...
this is because magldr is just a LOADER...your device still needs a ROM (which was removed when you install magldr)...after flashing magldr, you need to boot into magldr (turn on device and keep holding down the power on button until magldr appears). then, you need to go to the section in magldr for flashing a magldr compatible ROM. just read the stickies, you will find a guide in there that describes ALL of these steps in much more detail.

No MAGLDR is the ROM on the HD2 until it has a Android or WP7 ROM to boot. So until you give MAGLDR a ROM to flash your HD2 will boot straight into the MAGLDR menu and that is it. The OP is saying that MAGLDR is not even booting up.
At the OP if you have a 2.15.50.xx radio and HSPL 2.08 on your HD2 you should not be having a problem. But like Canontroutman said if you do not have HSPL 2.08 then this is probably your problem. I was under the impression though that if you did not have HSPL 2.08 that MAGLDR would not flash. Which now that I think about it sounds like what is happening to the OP. I just thought you would get a error message from the RUU.

Is this HD2 screwed?

Okay guys, am I screwed?
I tried putting android on this HD2.
I successfully installed HSPL 2.08 HSPL (So NO 2.08.0000)
Then I tried installing MAGLDR 1.13, just by executing the ROMUtilityUpdater.exe.
Clicked the first checkbox, then the 2nd, and then that 'Update' thingy.
It was going to updating from 1.72.XXXXX to 2.00.0.000 (or something)
I had it connected through Activesync (WinXP).
It was ready in 30seconds, instead of the normal 10 minutes.
Now it just hangs on the White HTC bootscreen.
I tried doing a Task29, but in the RGB Bootloader (USB connected) screen it won't connect to ActiveSync. I Ran it anyway, but still no Windows or MAGLDR.
Do I need to install a different Radio? If so how do I do that and where can I find it?
I am downloading a stock WinMo 6.5 Rom (vodafone branded, from HTC.com)
Thanks for all the help in advance!
had simillar problem. I would just install the latest Windows ROM 3.03 but thru SD card (Download official 3.03 ROM for Your phone, extract it, change the nbh file name to LEOIMG, put it on Your SD card, Switch the phone on holding volume button down, and then go with the instructions on the screen) cuz it changes Your SPL, then install HSPL 4. After that install CLK and CLOCKWORK and then NAND Your device with clk version android.
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837 if You dont know how to install clK. It is a bit complicated but if You are a bit computer literate You should be ok.
Okay, thanks!
I installed a stock vodafone rom, it is booting now!
so where do i find 2.15 pesky radio 2.15 rom?
I installed HSPL using HSPL in the first place

Seemed to have Bricked my HD2 migrating to Andriod, HELP

Ok I was moving over Andriod from WM65 Energy rom and started to install the MAGLDR and it seemed to load up fine! But once I rebooted, I just get the Energy ROM screen and it won't go further.
Even if I put it back in to BootLoad mode I can't get ActiveSync to connect to continue!
Any ideas?
WinMo ROMs and Android ROMs need different SPL versions. You should reset your HD2 using this step by step guide: http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/01/how-to-upgrade-htc-hd2-rom-through-sd-card-video/
You should take the latest stock ROM available, since this includes the latest Radio ROM which you need to run most Android ROMs. Afterwards I suggest installing HSPL2.08 and MAGLDR, CWM again.
Ok, I downloaded the stock rom and extracted the RUU and renamed to leoimg.nbh and did the bootloader thing and it didn't work!
What do I try next?
I know I've had to do the Task29 before when it got like this. Is that what I need to do again?
no need for task29.
there are two 'musts' for magldr to work
1 spl MUST be 2.08.hspl ONLY, no other will work.
In bootloader, does teh spl line say 2.08.hspl? no? magldr will not appear, even though it is flashed ok.
2 radio MUST be one that is compatible with the fabled 576meg ram trick, or to put it another way, it must be compatible with tmous phones, or a third way, it must be a x.xx.50. version radio, not a x.xx.51. version. Also, 2.05.50 and 2.06.50 will not work either. The one that came with your phone wont work, (assuming you don't have a tmous, if you DO have a tmous, you dont need to change radio.)
For ease, go flash radio 2.15.50
When both these conditions are met, and only then, magldr will start.
So, as you are now, ,
phone into bootloader
flash 2.08.hspl
phone back into bootloader
flash radio 2.15.50
back into bootloader
flash magldr
restart.

I believe this is my problem! A while back I mistakenly thought HSPL 3 was an updated version so I put it on. It is the SPL-3.03.HSPL. I'm not sure how to get it off and it doesn't seem to connect via activestink and it doesn't seem to wanna upgade off my card. leoimg.nbh is in root and booted in to bootload mode!
g
Just go back to the boot loader, connect your PC via USB and flash HSPL 2.08 over again. The HSPL application scans which SPL is installed and provides you the SPLs you can flash. 2.08HSPL is your choice.
Also search for radio master thread for HD2 in this forum, download and flash latest radio ROM.

Well, tried reloading of HSPL2 and I got an critical error bad SPL version!
I'll be searching around for this new error if anyone has a solution!
Also, if someone has time to get on Skype, I don't mind dropping down a tip!

Ok, the trick was to use HSPL4 and then downgrade to HSPL2! Back on track! For now!!

You arent thinking right about exactly what hspl2, 3 and 4 are. There was no need to even use hspl2, hspl4 can set 2.08.hspl
hspl2 hspl3 and hspl4 aren't different 'versions' of hspl in the way you think, , selecting 2.08.hspl using hspl2 or hspl3 or hspl4 gives the very same 2.08.hspl, no difference. The .exe's are just loader programs, the only difference between them is the phone models and spl's each supports. so when you went to stock and no doubt ended up with spl 3.03.0000 hspl2 wouldnt work because it requires a starting spl of 2.08 or lower, as does hspl3.
using hspl4 does work, because it was released for just that reason, to support spl 3.03, its not 'better' or a higher version than hspl3, its just been tweaked to support more spl's.

Rom not booting, only magldr, need to get back to stock

Hi .... I had an hd2 for some time which got kept in the locker for too long..The status as of now is like this.
1. MIUI ROM installed on NAND doing bootloops
2. SD Card formatted .. so no recovery
3. Trying to use magldr usb storage disconnects the phone
4. Can get into the red yellow green screen with status showing usb but when i try to run a stock rom it cannot find the device.
Magldr 1.13 is still running and I have hspl 2.08
Is there any way i can get back the stock firmware installed? Any help will be appreciated. thanks!!

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM from the SD card? The procedure is outlined here, it doesn't seem too hard. Since you can't connect in MAGLDR use an SD card reader to copy the stuff across.
why no recovery; recovery in magldr 1.13 is stored in nand.So you can go magldr--->ad recovery and run recovery.then wipe all userdata and see if your rom starts again working ok

Well, you say it doesn't connect to the PC but what about in MAGLDR? As in the USB flasher? If it does, just flash a new version of CWM (probably through the NAND Toolkit).
If that doesn't work, try a stock ROM from the SD Card and start over.

I was trying to use the USB Flasher earlier and the installation would fail halfway through with various errors.. Tried with 4 different roms.. So decided to do a stock rom from sdcard .. tried a WWE and got an error 28002...couldnt get into magldr even now... Anyways got Task29 ..booted in the red yellow green screen and doing a wipe+hspl+magldr+recovery. As of now it stuck on 0% at the wipe process but it does say 10 minutes for flashing and its been only 2. Lets see.....
Ok the situation as of now is this... Tried installing a stock rom which gave me spl 3.03 ... Magldr no longer working. Task 29 fails to install anything. Trying to install a stock ruu.exe from the rgb screen tells me that the update utility cannot be used for my phone.
Any ideas??

So now in the bootloader it says that you have SPL3.03 rather than HSPL 2.08 right? In that case, maybe try reflashing HSPL then MAGLDR etc. because these won't flash unless you have HSPL. I assume that your main aim is to go back to Android after you've sorted this out anyway.
The way I see it - get HD2 toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
Install HSPL 2.08 like Nigeldg said and flash magldr or clk anew. I personally use clk 1.5 and it's childlishly easy to use and I had absolutely no prolems. I attached a zipped .nbh file you can flash after HSPL from HD2 toolkit. It's a new clk with recovery. It's obviously not mine, but I can't remember the thread I got it from (I keeep it just in case since downloaded). You can repartition from your phone then and install whatever ROM you need from recovery. The only problem can be flashing HSPL - if this doesn't go well you'd have to do it from SD like someone suggested.

Yeah don't use the HD2 toolkit, go to the HSPL thread and download the HSPL4 package from there. Just select HSPL2.08 and flash it. The toolkit uses the older HSPL3 package if I'm not mistaken.
