HD2 problem with flashing CWM - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi.
My friend has HTC HD2 and we wanted to flash CWM and new nadroid.
The phone has already HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR 1.13 and radio 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14.
In the phone there is android (Android 2.2, kernel 2.6.32.15 dirty cotulla, software number 2.29.405.5).
phone (in info): HTC Desire A8181
I tried flash CWM 150MB but:
1.) DAF doesn't work for me (error init USB). So I tried andr_install.exe, it worked and phone was connected
, but then it show message:
PARTITION LAYOUT NEW
Do you want to preserve data?
Press POWER to save it
Press GREEN to clear it
Press VOLDOWN to abandon flashing
I tried abandon flashing and I get error (something like can't clear partition)
We want to flash HyperDroid CM7.
So My question is, did I make something wrong?
Must I make repartition of MAGLDR befor flash CWM or CM?
I would to try HD2 NAND toolkit, but I looked, that it use also DAF.

I would try a full wipe (task29) in HD2 Toolkit.

But if it not work, we will have cleaned phone

Can I do this?
Repartition of MAGLDR to 150MB, catch 44MB.
Run CWM from SD card.
Install CWM from SD card to NAND (recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip)?

When you repartition, it installs cwm too.
Use the nand toolkit, put phone into magldr USB flasher, in nand toolkit select tye size you want, clik 'reaprtition' bottom left, hey presto partitions created and cwm installed. If you get connection errors click download drivers. (Alternate means of getting the correct drivers are - install 'myphoneexplorer ((also good cos it syncs with outlook)) or install the android sdk (Google for android USB drivers).
The reason you got the errors trying to flash cwm in post 1 is because the old method used to install your original rom doesn't create a recovery partition, so there's nowhere for cwm to install.

OK I will try it
I have already google drivers (from ADB)+HTC drivers (I have EVO 3D)+I installed windows mobile device center.
But andr_install.exe worked, so I hope that toolkit will work too
Thank you!

Android reflashed!
It worked really well, thank you!

[Q] Problem: Clean phone, no radio, no roms, hspl2.08

Hello guys!
I don't know what to do anymore...
I used to have wm6.5 Hyperdroid1.7(sd) dualboot, but it began to freeze very often to the point where i could't boot it anymore. Since I had hspl2.08 allready installed, I decided to give the relatively new TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 v2.5.2
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951)
a try.
Long story short, I had lots of problems with the connection but finally made it to
task29: done (used doloops exe)
radio: 2.15.50.14 done
magldr: 1.13 done
ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3 135M System/44M Cache:
installed with DAF.exe
but when I selected 'AD recovery' in magldr it came up with the
1FATAL HIT 1 error. (worked one time when I left the battery out for 25 min, but never again)
So I decided to do everything over again, task29 etc ....
Some problems occured where I had to plug out the phone because it got
stuck in flashing process of task29/radio/magldr.
And now, nothing works, I can flash radio and magldr, but it does'n seem to affect anything. When I boot I just see just the white htc screen.
Tried to flash stock HTC-wm6.5-rom (with both bootloaders) but it gets stuck @ 8% and gives the wrong comand error.
So please help me, 2 days without a phone (so far ...)

U UNPLUGGED IT!
Try a task29 .. just a task29 with a compatible radio
Once its done go into the bootloader.. if you get this far flash MAGLDR
If and once MAGLDR boots up then your good to go with Android NAND/SD or WP7
Okay,
I task29'ed it with the 2.15... radio and it seemed to work again.
But I flashed with a nand android and when I booted again:
Booting Android from NAND
ANDROID LOAD at numbers
yaffs2 part is /boot
Load zImage
Load initrd.gz
[K] .. numbers
Load done!
1EFATAL HIT 1
*stuck*
may be relevant:
when I flashed the android it did not reboot automatically.
so i pressed the red reset button on the back.

That's an android nand issue..prob kernel related... since you used the DFT android flasher it should've restarted... either try again with the same rom or different rom OR use clockwork recovery... i personally use CWM recovery.. since it has more options like installing from zip and backup/restore entire nand build to the sdcard
also note magldr mass storage .. some people say it corrupts transfer so to safe use card reader just incase when transfering

Ok lets try this Remove your SD card Save only necessary files that you need to your computer. Next Format the SD card leave it out.
I would erase the task 29 and MAGLDR and partition and ROM files from your computer and reinstall (possible file corruption)
Do a Task 29
Install MAGLDR 1.13
Once you install MAGLDR let phone reboot and hold power button to boot into MAGLDR
Choose option 5 and load your partition
Next reboot into MAGLDR again and got to option 8 you will want to find wipe data/factory reset and also wipe dalvik cache.
Now if you are flashing via CWM you should have the build on the SD card so now is the time to put SD card back in and reboot into MAGLDR you can then flash the rom. If you are flashing DFT put card back in reboot phone and enter bootloader and flash DFT.
Hope you get it working please read carefully...pm if you are really stuck.
The ONLY thing you are going to flash via MAGLDR option five is your partition...Did you flash the radio via MAGLDR if so that may be your problem?
If that dont work try this:
Try and use a task29 tool provided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=19 . Extract it and run it properly ( with phone in bootloader mode ) and perform the task 29. Then flash a radio version which you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787 . ( I suggest 2.15 )
My suggestion is to go to bootloader-tricoloured screen ( NOT Magldr ). Flash a good radio version and afterwards go back to tricoloured screen of the bootloader in order to flash a Windows Mobile ROM ( preferably a STOCK one ). Forget about NAND ROMs until you will be sure what your problem is.

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] bootloader problem

i alredy install android nand to my htc hd2 with bootloader dft version 1.11
and because i want to expant the memory i want to install the bootloader version 1.3 or higher... i try to upgrade the bootloader via usb flasher ( i allready have downloaded the files i need and the connection is ok...) so all goes ok the installation tell me that the filew are installed ......but nothing happened ...the version is the same magldr 1.11 and i must reload the nand again because i have a mounting error.....
please advice what i am doing wrong.....and what is the right version to have a sd data file to expant the internal memory...
thank you very ....
Have you tried the Toolkit, HD2 NAND Toolkit?
Just enter the bootloader on your phone, and on your pc open the toolkit and choose install magldr.
how can i do it ???
i have a htc hd2 phone and i install the bootloader1.3 i run the clockworkmod recovery and all going ok...but the nand i have allready install its gone and i must reinstalling it....if this happen the clockworkmod no longer works...
and in the end if i install games or programms the internal memory get full and nothing happens with the supposed extarnal in the sd card....
please advice what i must do so all the system works correctly.....
thanks to enyone answer me....
To flash MAGLDR or cLK you have to do it through the SPL bootloader (tri color screen), not through option. #5 USB flasher in MGLDR. That option in MAGLDR is only for flashing custom recovery via DAF file, android via DAF file (this method is obsolete), or a Windows Phone 7 via DAF file. If you have already flashed MAGLDR before you should know how to get to the tri color screen. If not then click on the HD2 guide in my sig, it should help answer a lot of questions you have.

[Q] Windows 7 flashing - help

I only update roms about once every year so I always forget how to do it the next time. I have all the radio/HSPL/MAGLDR/cLK stuff installed, I just cant get any roms to install with it. Every rom listing is pretty vague and just says stuff like "instructions: task 29, magldr, clk, GO!" which isnt very helpful.
I've been combing the FAQ's for about 2 hours now and cant find anything useful. They just diverge into endless unrelated procedures for steps that dont even apply to my situation. It also doesnt help that absolutely nothing on this site mentions Windows 7 64bit. Everything keeps talking about ActiveSync and stuff which Win7 doesnt even support.
It seems like every rom package wants you to task 29 (whatever that is), then re-install magldr from scratch (lol wtf? Isnt the entire purpose of magldr to prevent you from having to reflash bootloaders every time???), and then somehow magically push the .zip file to your phone. They dont mention using clockwork to do it, and the zip's dont have any files to install the rom with. It's purely the rom data, so what am I supposed to do here?
I'm staring at a magldr 1.13 screen with no instructions on how to actually get the zip file installing.

How to install CWM on MAGLDR (NOT CLK!)
Maybe this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
Never task29 unless your phone has gone mental, its unnecessary and just increases the load on the nand chip, possibly speeding up the onset of bad blocks.
If you already have magldr you can forget activesync, firstly in win7 its now windows mobile device center (wmdc) and secondly "get an activesync connection" really just means "get a USB connection" it isn't referring to activesync the program, but the USB drivers activesync (wmdc) uses to connect the phone, and thirdly because magldr uses the android drivers. (You may need to install the android USB drivers, I think you can use the toolkit for that, or install the android sdk, or install "myphoneexplorer" on the PC, which has the added benefit of allowing sync with outlook if you need that)
Flashing
In magldr select USB flasher, connect USB, on the PC run the nand toolkit, use that to partition to the required size, which also installs clockworkmod ( clockworkrecovery, cwr, cwm, clockwork, recovery) reboot the phone, hold power till magldr appears, select ad recovery, this boots cwm, in cwm. *** select install zip from SD (assuming you already put the zip on the SD card) and follow the prompts.
*** at this step you probably wanna make an ext partition many roms require it, and it will hugely increase available storage since the system will use it as internal storage.,(only need do it once, it will completely wipe the card so backup first) choose advanced, format SD card.
PS, if available, use a 32 bit machine, 64 has been causing issues for years,, mostly it doesn't, but some people simply never get it to work right.
Ok I think I have been confusing CLK with ClockWork recovery given the similarity in the sound of their names. What is CLK?
If I have CWM installed, then am I supposed to download the MAGLDR version of the rom file and use that? Seems kinda strange since I thought magldr files were to use with MAGLDR recovery, not clockwork recovery.

cLK is an alternative to magLDR
yes if you already use magLDR make sure its a mag compatible rom
mag = bootloader (just that) ... CWM is recovery (where you will flash or "install" the. zip/rom files)
you CAN simply flash via magLDR via a DAF.exe, however, its an outdated method and the most current chefs cook their roms to be flashed via CWM as it doesnt require a pc (you simply place the. zip rom file to the root of your sd and its easy as pie)
Magldr and cLK do the same thing, they both use cwm so you flash the roms in the same way,,,, by entering cwm and flashing the zip from SD.
cLK offers more in the way of access to the android terminal from the PC, whilst magldr is much more straightforward. (Also cLK allows charging when the phone is off.)
There are two types of rom, mag and cLK, because they both use slightly different boot partition witchcraft .... (I don't know what why where or how, but that's why there's two types.)
Ohhhhhh, yeah I thought cLK stood for like "clockwork", and that CWM was just the rom loading app that you can download from the market. Magldr runs clockwork recovery which is used to install roms, got it.

[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!
