[Q] Can I still Install CWM on WP7/ ICS - HD2 General

I dual boot from WP7 (nand) & Android (SD) via Magldr, is there still a way to install Clockworkmod to nand without disrupting the whole system/ SD card partition?
thanks

you know cLK is not clockwork right? clockwork is shortened to cwm, cLK is a magldr alternative. Completely unrelated to cwm.
If you have wp7 on nand then no you cant put clockwork on.

@samsamuel
thanks for clearing things up
so the only way to put CWM is to start all over again?

You don't need to start all over. Check out this thread for help. If you already have some steps done/installed then move on to the next step.
Here's a youtube video to help out

..But will it still erase the WP7 in nand?

Installing a recovery shouldn't break nand anything whether Android or WP7 but since i'm on Android and
have little first hand knowledge you may want to wait for someone that has more experience with WP7.
I have nand Android and have installed CWM, MAGLDR and CLK several times over which didn't break nand. It may
have reset it to factory settings though, not sure now that i think about it. After all its 5am here and i'm running
on no sleep so maybe i'll come back to this thread once i've been able to get some rest. If you use the HD2
toolkit there is a set of precautions and warnings listed. It might be in those steps so you could always check
that out if you dont hear from someone else.
cool avatar by the way ?:^D

i repeat, you cant have cwm and wp7 on nand at the same time, so yes, flashing cwm will erase wp7, because there currently is no recovery partition in which to load cwm, so you would need to flash a new partition layout, which would remove wp7, and install cwm. If you then flash wp7 again, it will remove cwm again.

OK here's the deal I'll be trying out a new WP7 Rom (Tigers ROM) & since I will start all over again I'll try to install CWM first & see what happens
many thanks for your input guys & Hooray for our HD2!!!

Ok look guys Samsamuel has told you twice now. You can not have anything Android in the NAND of the HD2 if you are running a WP7 ROM. just as you can not have anything WP7 in the NAND if you ate running a NAND Android ROM.
When you flash a ROM to the NAND of of a device it cleans the NAND before flashing the ROM. The recovery partition gets wiped too just as if you flash a recovery it will clean the recovery partition before flashing the recovery. So if a recovery for a different OS is flashed it is going to clean the whole NAND as it will have to repartition the entire NAND first.
This is not to even mention the fact that the HD2 at the present time is not possible, well maybe if a new way of formatting memory space is discoverd. But it would be a small meracle if that became possible, still it is highly doubtful it will.
Edit: By the way what's up Sam, good to see you are still shinning a light on things here in the HD2 forums, message me on Google+ sometime look for Tony Roach. I personally learned a lot from Sam, he knows the HD2 very well.

He's not trying to install Android to nand, WP7 to nand and Android via SD. This says it in the first post. He's trying
to install Clockworkmod but wonders if he goes to do that if it will break nand WP7. Since i personally didn't really like
WP7 and only had it a few short weeks i suggested him to wait for someone more knowledgable.
So the questions are:
(1.) why does he want to install Clockworkmod if running SD version of Android?
(2.) if he tries will it break nand WP7 with Android on SD?
1st answer: Not really sure why he wants to and he hasn't said why
2nd answer: He can not install Clockworkmod with nand WP7

Yes I know he is wanting to flash CWM, the point I was making is if he flashes CWM it will remove the WP7 ROM, or "BREAK" the WP7 ROM.

Oh ok. I got confused because you pointed out "you can not have anything Android in nand..." My mistake.
So he can not install Clockworkmod or it will break nand WP7. Thats good to know if i ever decide to go back to it. I
know he can only boot WP7 with MAGLDR since clk does not support that but i was unsure about cwm and to be honest,
it was so early in the morning and i didnt feel like doing any leg work to get the answers since i was way to tired.

So the questions are:
(1.) why does he want to install Clockworkmod if running SD version of Android?

hmmmm I forgot why I wanted CWM again lol
i guess it was for Ext3 or Fix Permissions, coz some roms (SD) as to run Fix permissions.
anyways I'll get back to you latter coz this PCB is keeping me busy

ok, so thinking outside the question, go find the clockwork thread that has 'yes/no' in the title, and there is an sd card version of cwm in there. you copy it to root of sd card, and choose " boot ad sd " from magldr to start it. However since you are running android from sd, you will need to manually edit the target folder that magldr looks for android installations.

Confirmed! Once I installed CWM it erased WP7!
so WP7 & CWM cannot be together inside the NAND. I "thought" when i have a separate partition for WP7 & CWM it would be ok, silly me comparing it to a HD
@samsamuel
I'll give that a shot!

@mengfei: not that silly really.
i was also hoping that the nand could be like a hard drive and have the boot loader and cwm in a protected area (having just installed WP7).
then, if you install wp7 or android you could still have the benefit of a backup/recovery.
(my laptop has boot-it boot manager and 7 different os's which is where i am coming from)
maybe one day eh?
(is that PCB for real?)

CWM doesn't work with android SD. You don't need it on wp7 android dual boot.

@hengsheng120
oh OK, even for fixing permissions?
@gazzacbr
i was hoping it would be possible too lol but i guess it won't be of any use to have CWM if it can't work with SD right?
& yes that PCB, thermal scanning, is real & here I am re-doing the pre-production unit. it takes up my flashing time

Just bought a rooted HD2

I just bought a new T-mobile HD2 and just found out it is rooted with ultimate droid 2.5.0 umm says model number is HTC brovo...android version 2.2.1....thats all i can seem to get a hold of. But I have rom manager (free) installed,super user installed nothing in it...What can i do with this phone?? do i need to update anything??
Well I think you have the ROM from this thread so yes you have the most up to date version of your ROM. But you updating is up to you and your wants and needs. There are so many ROMs out there to choose from. You just have to check them out to see if you like them better. Ohcand don't forget the MIUI ROMS.
Hope this helps some.
That pic in the link is what shoews up while its booting so if i want a different rom what would you suggest? also any help on a video or post you can point me too to show me how to change roms quick since my phone is rooted already?
Come on you may be new here but at least put some effort into searching
Try here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928
There are a bag full most of them very good.
Its a matter (as T-m said) of choosing one you like the look of and give it a go, I like the rom in my sig, but hay have a good look around

Sorry for the late response buit to change Andriod ROMs quickly all you have to do is use Clockwork Mod Recovery. Check out the guide in my sig to learn how to use Clockwork Mod Recovery and also look for the link at the top of the guide to the HD2 NAND Toolkit. This toolkit is a all in one tool to flash anything that can be flashed to NAND on the HD2. Makes flashing the HD2 easy as pie in my opinion.
Since you seem like the only one helping me i also have another issue the globe on the main screen you press to get to internet is gone and when i click the blank space it says no application. It was working fine but now the only way to use the internet is when i downloaded firefox and can access the internet threw there. Although i rather use my old one before it went missing...Any advise on what i should do to get it back?

Ok first do you have the globe icon in your app tray? If so you need to long prrss the icon so you can move it to your home screen then long press it again to drag it to the open spot on your launcher.
If that does not work for some odd reason or is not a option for you. Then you might want to look and see if you have a NANDroid back up of your ROM made with Clockwork Mod Recovery. To do this you need a file manager such as Astro File Manager. Then go to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and see if a backup exists in that folder. if so you can use Clockwork Mod Recovery to do a restore with that backup. How you get to Clockwork Mod Recovery depends on if you use MAGLDR or cLK for your Android bootloader. So you might want to say which one you are using. Or just check out my sig you will find both methods in the guide link. Anyway after you do a restore you shouild have the problem fixed. But be warned, the backup will revert any app version if it has older app versions backup.
Also i noticed on my htc hd2 when i bought it under Model number is Htc bravo? is that normal?

It says Bravo cause that is probably the device the ROM came from. It probably started out as a ROM dump from a bravo.
No. icon was not in app tray ..Also no i did not have a back up clockwork in my sd .. So where do i go from here? I can access clockwork threw rom manager but no older version available

Ok I suggest you do a reset of your ROM thos requires Clockwork Mod Recovery. It depends on if you use MAGLDR or cLK as to hpw you have to boot into CWM.
To get to CWM with MAGLDR you hold the end key down while booting your HD2 to get to the MAGLDR main menu. Select either option #2 AD SD or option #8 AD recovery. One of the two should boot you into CWM if you are using MAGLDR.
To boot into CWM if you are using cLK you need to hold down thechome key while you boot your HD2.
Next you select "wipe data/factory reset and then select yes and it will reset the ROM just like it was when first installed.
If this does not work go to the thread I linked for you in post #2 and download the ROM. I looked and the ROM developer says nothing about having two versions of the ROM. Then copy the zip file you download to your SD card. Then you want to boot your HD2 into Clockwork Mod Recovery.
So after you are booted into CWM you need to select "install zip from sd". Then you select "choose zip from sd". Then you just find the zip file on your sd card and select it the select yes and it will flash your ROM. Now be warned this will be just like a hard rest of your ROM. You will lose anything not backed up on your computer or SD card.
You can though make a backup of your current ROM though seeing as it is the same ROM I told you to download. You can then use the advance restore and only restore your data and cache, this should atleast put the globe icon back in your app tray and you can then move it as I said in my last post.
Sorry for the long post jist wanted to cover as much as posible in one post.
when i choose #2 it says "SD kernel option failed" and #8 says "No boot sources"
htown89 said:

SD Kernel failed means you either do not have the two necassary files, initrd.gz and zImage, to boot CWM from your SD card. Or that something is wrongcwithcCWM and you need to delete and re copy good files to your SD card to be able to boot CWM from your SD card.
No boot source means you so not have CWM flashed to NAND of your HD2. Or maybe something is wrongcwith your CWM in NAND. But I am leanong more towards no Cwm flashed to NAND. Which is weird cause Ultimate Droid does not have a DAF file with it Idon't think. To flash CWM to your NAND I recomend you use the HD2 NAND Toolkit
Either way it goes it means you do not have a working CWM on your HD2. My advice, you need CWM,
Let me know if you have any trouble flashing CWM. Later...........
.
Ok so MAGLDR is CWM?
And even though i pwer up my phone and says a have MAGLDR 1.13 the latest version?
Also my red green blue and white screen it says SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
Your bootloader is fine. (2.08 HSPL is what you want and have)
Flash CWM from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
use the 150 for smaller aosp roms such as CM7, use the bigger ones for like Sense 3.0 and such.
just flash it via the USB flasher in MAGLDR, then use the ad recovery option to enter CWM from magldr and flash the ROM from there.
also, off topic I know, but it's good to see a fellow houston HD2 owner hacking his phone
Are you in houston? maybe i can have you look at it because im a complete noob and i think i need to start from scratch as you can see because i got the phone like this

Want to repurpose/play around with my G1

Hello,
I recently got a Nexus One to replace my old G1. Now that the Nexus One is my daily driver phone, I want to get my hands dirty and play around with my G1. Even though I had my G1 for nearly a year, I never went ahead and installed any custom ROMs on the thing fearing that I'd somehow brick the phone or mess it up in some way, so I stuck with the official Donut update (it's been hard using Android 1.x while everyone has been using >2.x for the past year or so).
Anyway, I've wiped the G1 back to factory settings and then downgraded it to RC29 (using this guide) so I could activate it over WiFi (I don't have an active SIM in the phone). So right now, I'm on stock Android 1.0.
I think I want to try a Sense ROM on my G1 (Sense is my favorite custom Android UI and I think it looks pretty darned good, too). Are there any decent Sense ROMs for the G1 that are fast and stable? Preferably, I'd like them to be based on Android 2.0 or higher for better app compatibility (and maybe multi-touch).
I won't be using the G1 as a phone (or at least I don't plan to). I intend on using it mainly to browse the internet over WiFi.
Since I've never done any rooting or custom ROM installations on my phone, I'm a bit of a noob at the entire rooting/flashing process. Are there any special precautions that I'd need to take on a phone running stock Android 1.0?
Thanks.

hey,
here's a good sense rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116154 it's android 2.1 Eclair.
to flash that rom, your going to have to root and upgrade your radio/spl here's a good guide for that:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098899
Just follow that guide and you should be good.
and your also going to have to partiton your sd card with swap and ext 4 partitions so just follow my instructions:
Ok, so heres what your going to do.
We are going to partition through recovery:
boot into recovery
go to the partition sd card option
click partition sd card
use these sizes:ext 2: 512 mb, linux swap : 96mb, and the rest is for the fat 32 partition
then once that is done, click ; SD:ext2 to ext3 :: Convert ext2 to ext3
then once that is done, click : SD:ext3 to ext4 :: Convert ext3 to ext4
and u now have ext 4!
and there ur done.

these are instructions for amon ra recovery so make sure u have that recovery when doing these instructions
Good luck and have fun flashing!

Before I do anything, should I upgrade to Android 1.5 or 1.6 or will it be easier for me to do this process on 1.0/RC29 (which I believe can be easily rooted).

Upgrade to android 1.5 it'll make things easier.
Sent from my Gingerbread on Dream using XDA App
yeah i believe you need 1.5 to gain root access on device
@maximo thanks for reccomending my ROM & rooting guide
@beanboy if you have any further questions maximo and myself are usually available so dont be shy to ask questions!!! there is nooooo stupid question out there when it comes to rooting your device! nobody wants a brick in there pocket
Easiest way to root would be upgrade to 1.6
Run universal androot
Install rom manager and flash recovery of choice through there.
Then you should upgrade to the 0013d spl and 27.08 it 28.25 radio.
Then flash rom.
(For sense I recommend senselx. (Yes I'm recommending a rom I kinda helped develop )
Otherwise I recommend ezgingerbread.)
I got 1.5 installed, but when I try to update to 1.6 from the SD card, I get this error:
http://i.imgur.com/NuEvT.jpg
I guess I'll have to wait for the OTA update?

I think ldrifta's guide is for 1.5
I've never used 1.5 and I only used 1.6 long enough to root and flash cm.
Universal androot might work on 1.5. Try it and see what happens. If it works then find a flash_image binary and a recovery image and flash it manually
Manual flash instructions via adb:
adb push flash_image /data/local
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb shell
$ su
# chmod +x /data/local/flash_image
# /data/local/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Flashing from the phone works the same way, just with everything run in a terminal and changed appropriately
Or if you have an eng spl you can use fastboot and 3 commands to get the latest radio and spl and custom recovery. Look for ezterry's 14mb ram thread
I think something is up with my G1's hardware. Before I completely wiped everything, I had been having problems with the SD card not being detected most of the time. I tried different cards, and none of them seemed to improve the situation. So, I followed ldrifta's guide since I was already on Android 1.5. I was got through step 1 (installing OI File Manager, installing flashrec from the SD card, and then flashed the backup recovery. I rebooted into recovery mode (I guess it was just the new recovery that I had just flashed). I then wiped the device and when I went to flash the .zip file, it wouldn't let me do so, giving some errors about not being able to read the SD card or something. So I rebooted back into normal Android 1.5 (I think) and now I'm stuck not being able to activate the phone because there's no data. I guess I'll have to go back to RC29 to reactivate. This is beginning to seem like way too much trouble. Ugh.
I had issue with class 2 sdcards in my device. They randomly wouldn't work. Maybe you are having the same problem. Try a class 4 or faster card.
Or if you got to the point of having an eng spl, the only thing the sdcard is needed for us flashing roms. How far did you get into ldrifta's guide?
I got through step 1 and had just started step 2 where I went to wipe the device. The installing update .zip didn't seem to work. I went ahead and reflashed back to RC29 and now I'm back with Android 1.0.
I've tried two SD cards: A 1 GB Transcend (no class because it's not an SDHC card) and two different 4 GB SanDisks (each class 2).
Try to follow his guide up to getting an eng spl if you don't already have one. If you have one then flash the new radio and spl and a recovery via fastboot. Then try to get a class 4 sdcard and see if it helps

I assume I still have the default SPL installed. I don't think I was able to flash any other SPLs. I'll go through and try to upgrade Android again to 1.5 or 1.6. And speaking of that, do I need to install 1.5 before installing 1.6? I see that the .zip for 1.5 is much bigger than 1.6's. Are the updates incremental, meaning I have to have 1.5 installed first and then upgrade to 1.6?
Okay, I got 1.6 installed. I installed 1.5 CRB43, and then 1.5 CRC1, and finally 1.6 DRC83. Apparently you can't update directly from CRB43 to DRC83. I guess I'm now set to start rooting, flashing recoveries, flashing radios, and installing custom ROMs...
I'd suggest Ginger Yoshi 1.2.1
I'm still a bit confused on the process that I'd follow, however. I see guides that say that I need to have a certain radio, installed, a certain recovery, etc. I'm still not exactly sure of what I need or what I need to do it. I know that I can't just flash a custom ROM from the stock recovery and expect it to work. For example, how do I check my radio version and recovery (I think I have the stock recovery)?

[Q] -Specific- question about rooting.

Please, dear XDA'ers, take a little bit of time apart for a newbie at rooting. :l
I'm an Annoying Noob to you, as you probably already guessed. But I made this account, because I want to root my phone to Android gingerbread, with a -STABLE- sense (2.1+)3.0 UI.
So I had my eyes on THIS one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038694
BUT! I'm REALLY a noob at rooting. I've tried HaRET rooting, with a Nexus android Rrom, well... That didn't go too well, because via my SD things would become veeeery slow after a while. So I NAND rooted my phone to Android Gingerbread 2.3.3. I'm quiete happy with it, but it's not really the HTC feeling I get when I look at the UI.
So I saw sense 3.0 and fell in love.
Well enough about that. I have an HTC HD 2, it's NAND rooted and it's European... ALL I want is a STABLE sense 3.0 rom... That works for my phone.
Now I was wondering, if I would instal it... Would it work properly for me? None of us are sure. So that's why I want to back-up my ROM. With Clockwork rom recovery tool... you know, from the market. Well I get a very annoying error every time I try to back-up my data. I did flash the app to it's most current version, but when I want to make a back-up, my phone just reboots... and does... basically, nothing.
I don't want to mess up my phone entirely. So what should I do first, dear XDA'ers? Please, I just don't want my data to get lost. I tried multiple tutorials but none seem to have the answer to my problem!
sense 2.1 and sense 3 roms aren't stable yet. they have graphic glitches and camcorder problems. but if you don't consider these problems you can live with it. i may recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075703 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124757. in order to prepare your phone for different nand roms you ca use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783.

I will try this, and if I can't figure it out I will come back to this thread and whine more.
In any case, I think it's appropriate to thank you, it's the least I can do.
btw i think your phone has hspl 2.08 and mgldr?!
rom manager dont work with magldr.
To make a backup boot into cwm manually:
hold power down while rebooting -> magldr screen should appear
Then navigate to ad recovery-> backup and restore..rest should be clear.
..i wonder, how you installed nand roms, without to know how to boot to recovery? oO

I just raped my phone I think. I had HSPL installed, and MAGLDR and I think some other stuff too, so I used the first rom the first poster linked, and I downloaden the two files it told me to download in the instructions... I installed the custom RUU from that first rom, and then my phone kinda died. It only said "HTC" in green, and it diidn't do anything. So I flashed it back to WinMob 6.5. Now I have WinMob 6.5 (rom 1.66 or something I think) and I'm not sure what to do next. I don't want to brick my phone and I don't want WinMob 6.5 either.
*Sigh* I wonder if I'll ever understand rooting.
So just to clarify, I have HSPL (I'm sure it's the correct one too.) And I have MAGLDR installed on my phone. And I don't get the instructions from said thread.
<_> My brain is molten.
if you have come until mgldr don't give up. download the nand tool kit i mentioned a few posts before.choose and download a simple rom for beginning (you may take tyweens typhoon) put it in your sd. after that you will take a few steps. don't be afraid,many people (including me) faced same problems.

Thing is, I don't want a simple rom... I'm stubborn like that, hehehe...
I want a sense 3.0 rom, but I'm not sure how to follow the instructions in the thread. It uses terms I've never heard from before...
Well, if there's a stable android 2.3.3/2.3.4 rom with sense 2.1, I'd consider that! Also, I hate the MAGLDR boot screen... you know, "Go go go!" I saw a rom with a very smooth and pretty boot screen... I'd try that too!
i just say if you can succeed to flash one, then you will learn the steps. after that you can try a different rom everyday,as i do

I will, hahaha. I just want my phone to be a real HTC phone, so I'm looking for a rom that actually has sense... If you have a suggestion...?
since your hd2 is eu, you should also use sd-ext partition have you done this?

Yes, I have. I made a 2 gig EXT-4 partition. I just don't know what to do with it. I have Radio Leo installed, MAGLDR, HSPL... CWM and all that.
I tried flashing the two roms you suggested in your first post but they are stuck on the boot screen. I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
have you made necessary cwm partitions using usb flasher and nand toolkit?
and how did you make a 2 gb ext4 partition

Have a couple noob questions

Hello everyone. I have a few questions from a noob. Ok, here's the situation, I have an HD2 that I used to update regularly when i had winmo 6.5. ran android sd for a while, then switched to an MDJ nand months ago. havent messed with it much since. i want to update the rom to a more current one, but obviously alot has changed. anyway, on to the questions...
1. how do i get to the magldr main menu/boot screen/thing? the screen where you select to boot android sd, android nand, play tetris, etc. i just updated to 1.13.
2. i never made any EXT partitions on my sd card...do i HAVE to do this and if so, what is the easiest way?
thanks for you help! please be gentle, i know that the answers are probably in a thread somewhere, but i searched for the magldr and had no luck

You get to the magldr boot thing by holding down the power button while you turn the phone on until you get the screen, dunno about the easiest way to partition as I never have done, why do you want to partition anyways, do you plan on dual booting?
ah, ok. finally got to the boot screen. tried the hold power button down trick before but it didnt work. did this time.
i dont plan on dual booting, just read some things that said that I need to have special ext partitions set up to get app2sd+ to work
Cwm can partition your card, but be sure and back up cos it will be wiped. If you have a tmous you don't need ext, but for a reg Leo it is almost a must.

after boot to android welcome screen, the screen fade to black

hi,
i try to figure why , buy when i start the device he boot regular to adnroid but after 3 sec the screen fade to black and not responding.
the device worked good.
i decide to back to wm 6.5 and then all this mess start.
use hspl 2.08 , radio 2.15.50.14 , leo t8585 , magldr 1.13 .
any idea?
thanks.
Need more info ...
What ROM were you using?
What was the last thing you had done before this problem started?
Are you on NativeSD, SD or NAND? if NAND, which recovery?
We can't help you if you don't help us help you.
thanks for your help.
last thing i did is downloaded wm stock : RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
but after installed this stock , phone was stuck on htc white screen with some letters in red in the left corner.
after i saw that i cant install this wm so i tried to back to the old nanndroid.
installed hspl 2.08
magldr 1.13
recovery 150M
clockwork mode 3.0.0.5
with this i installed once :
typhoon rom and hyperdroid
after that i used recovery with 400M and coredroid rom.
maybe its importent to tell that in the recovery and in the boot animation and pics there is no problam.
same same with all this
thanks again.
I wonder why people flash back to stock, and when they get problems they flash back to android.
Okay, use the HD2 Toolkit (google it) to repartition your NAND and install a later recovery. Choose a bigger partition than 150, like say 180. After that, install Typhoon or Hyperdroid and see if it works.
I am telling you this because I can't see anything wrong in your steps.

I hope that 150 MB for recovery is wrong! Your recovery partition should only be 7-10 MB!
Further you said 400 MB - is that the system partition? Are you planning to use DataOnEXT?
Make sure you set partition sizes correctly for the ROM being installed. If you have the space make the system partition 20-100 MB larger than minimum recommended in case you have bad blocks.
Hanging at boot animation can be a sign of insufficient free space in system or data partition or corrupt binaries.
This is one of the few times I might recommend a Task 29 to start clean.

hi,
i already use the task29 to delete all.
i used recovery 400 because i use ext partition with coredroid rom that use sens3.5.
after flashed wm from the start, i return to spl 2.08.
i preffer to back to wm , so if someone can help with that it will be the best.
the phone stuck after flash with the htc white screen
r 2.15.50.14
g 15.42.50.1 1u
d 3.14.04666
mayb this will help you to help me
I think you're confusing the /system partition and the recovery partition. You should change the /system partition to whatever is needed by the ROM but leave the recovery partition the same. The easiest thing to do is follow what both of the above posts say and flash a slightly larger than needed partition to account for any bad blocks by using the HD2 toolkit.
If you want to flash back to WinMo then just flash the Stock RUU from the bootloader. You shouldn't need HSPL to do this (AFAIK) but I'd flash HSPL2.08 just in case. As Marvlesz said, I also don't see anything wrong with your steps. If that doesn't work, try flashing a stock ROM from the SD card (google it).

He's probably referring to the old recovery packages. The 150mb, 250mb and 400mb. Hence the old recovery version(?)

Yeah I think ny_limited is pointing out the fact that he said 'recovery partition' when he meant 'system partition'. The old recovery version shouldn't matter, I still use the old packages and edit the flash.cfg and all ROMs I try work fine for me.

Depending on what you have used (HSPL 2 or 4) make sure you are set on either 1.66.000 SPL (HSPL2 file) or 2.08.000 (HSPL4 file).
Make sure you have the original Stock ROM/SPL for your appropriate HD2 - there probably are others but these are the ones I can find quickly at the moment:
T-Mobile Stock ROM/SPL
ELL HTC HD2 Stock ROM/SPL
French HTC HD2 Stock ROM/SPL
NLD HTC HD2 Stock ROM/SPL​
Extract the .zip file the ROM comes in (if it comes in one).
Plug your phone in via USB.
Sync it with ActiveSync or Windows Device Center 6.1 and wait for it to finish.
Double click the .exe file inside the folder we extracted earlier.
Follow the prompts and wait for it to finish flashing.
Once it is done, click ok, close the program, and reboot the phone.
If all goes well that should bring you back to Windows Mobile...

Any ROM is flashed through the "treecolor bootloader", and if you can't flash your original WinMo through SD, there might be a "big" problem.

Explain further, what do you mean byt "android stuck when it finish loading system"? You mean you can see the setup wizard/lock screen but then your screen becomes unresponsive? Or you get bootloops? Or Everything force closes? What is "stuck" exactly?

Did you REALLY try nativeSD or you're just adding it to your thread without knowing what it is? Because NativeSD should have worked unless your device has a hardware issue or your setup was incorrect
You don't need HSPL to flash windows mobile, and MAGLDR doesn't work on other than 2.08.HSPL, so why flash 3.03 and 1.66? Just flash the 2.08 and stick to it.

You can try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633243
Even though you don't have fatal hit, you can't flash anything (as you say)
I still can't understand how you can flash MAGLDR, CWM and WP7 yet you can't install Windows Mobile.
Are you sure that everything installs successfully?
yes im sure that everything install successfully...
ill try it later today thanks
