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 :

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!

Hello,
I have the latest stock version for the T-Mobile HD2, it is a 1024 version and has stock everything. I actually bought the device on craigslist and it came with WP7, I flashed the latest stock rom via USB, then flashed android, this version, followed the steps and links. YouTube - How To Install Android NAND ROM On HTC HD2 (No SD Card Needed) With MAGLDR
Then I entered bootloader and flashed the Stock ROM via Sd card. Now I want to go back to android but when I open MAGLDR, the progress stays stuck at 0. and I can remove the battery and boot back to WM 6.5 Stock again. Can someone help me?
I would really appreciate that.
Thanks
try to flash HSPL 2.08 first
Hi, download MAGLDR 1.13 and follow the instructions. To flash it, you need to power on the phone with the volume down key pressed. Once you are in bootloader, plug the phone in to the pc and flash. Then you cam flash your Nand ROM.

Yeah before you try flash MAGLDR you need to flash HSPL 2.08.HSPL. Then just follow the instructions.
Thanks, I got it
Hey,
I recently tried to overwrite windows with gingerbread on my HD2, as I was doing it something went wrong, and basically it didn't install android and it wiped windows, my phone no longer has ANY operation system, what it does have however is MAGLDR 1.13, that's about it, oh I did manage to put HSPL 2.08 too, but that's it.
If you could please help me it would be much appreciated And step by step please, I'm not amazing at this.
Thank you
Go into Magldr and re-flash CWM with the correct partition size for the ROM you want to install, then put the ROM on your sd card and flash it from CWM. As long as you have HSPL and Magldr on your phone, you will be able to install an Android ROM on your phone. Go into the HD2 Android NAND section and there are sticky threads up at the top of the forum with instructions for how to do everything you need.
Use the toolkit in the nand section to add recovery and latest magldr. Then flash rom of your choice from recovery.
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:

If you get stuck on something, just ask and I'll see if I can help you out.
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.
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!
I bought my phone and its running android . Cool right ? NO I hate the rom lol and idk if I need to follow the sd card section or the other section of android development. Will someone please help me.. Gapps screwed up . I downloaded rom manager and flashed clockwork mod recovery it SAID it was successful but when I reboot into recovery it just sits at splash screen a extra second and then boots normally. it wont even factory reset with the button in the battery compartment..
There is a long answer for your post, but I am too lazy now.
In short(applicable to original HD2 not chinese copy):
You're either running magldr or cLK, you can't hardreset those to get your winmo, you need to flash it manually. I'd assume magldr since ROM manager broke your recovery.
To get it up and running again:
-if you want winmo, just download a rom and run the exe file with your phone connect. (of course you should have the drivers of activsync)
-android ... you can download the HD2 nand toolkit and (assuming you have magldr) repartition magldr's recovery and then flash a rom of your choice.
How to know if you have magldr or cLK:
-MAGLDR: boot up your phone and hold the end button, if you see numbered options and at the top you see "aMAGLDR" then .. duh .. you have magldr.
-cLK : depending on the version .. well, if it's not magldr then it's cLK.

^And judging by what you said I'm going to hazard a guess at MAGLDR. Reboot into recovery doesn't work with MAGLDR and when you tried to flash CWM via ROM manager you corrupted your recovery so it won't boot into recovery any more. If you hold the power button as Marvlesz said and you get to the MAGLDR menu, then follow the guide in my sig to flash CWM again and a new ROM (don't forget to backup in Titanium backup if you want your apps). If cLK, then you'll have to search for a different guide and follow that instead.
Не очень понимаю вас.
thanks
thanks guys its magdlr
