Hi guys, i've just won bidding on ebay for a HTC HD2 with stock rom.
I won it for £62 Although there's a catch, the usb slot isn't functioning, so you can't charge the phone via usb or access files via usb. So the owner charges it via an external charger where you have to take the battery out and put it into one of those charger things. I've got one of them too, and it works a charm.
Now the real question is will I be able to put any version of android into the HD2 without access into the phone via usb? So would it perhaps be like the HTC hero where you put a rom into the sd card and flash from thereon? I hope it's like this, because I can't stand windows 6.5
Thanks in advance guys!
You can run SD BUILDS from the android section and use a different phone or a micro usb

As far as I know you cannot flash HSPL 2.08 via the SD card and therefore cannot flash NAND Android (replacing WinMo with Android) but you can run SD android from the SD card. Just update to the latest stock build with radio 2.15.50 then download an SD Android rom, run CLRCAD and HARET and enjoy.

So I can run ICS? from the sd card essentially?
Check if your hd2 has radio 2.15.50.14 or other with a .50 number in it for example 2.12.50.02.you can check it from os or in red small letters in right corner of the screen when phone boots
if it has you can run sd android roms
then power down the phone.Hold volume down and press power.Dont let vol down until you see a tri-color screen.If it says hspl 2.08 or 3.03.cotulla then you can put clk bootloader v1.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114053 and run nand android without the need of usb port
if nothing of these things (no hspl,no radio 2.x.50.x) exist in your phone,you cant run android sd or nand
Dudes, dont give him wrong infos.
Ofc you can install nand roms without your usb connector. Simply use cLK bootloader instead of MAGLDR. But, as alrdy mentioned, you need hspl.
If so, you are able to install cLK from your sd and set up CWM recovery layout size over it. Without PC. Just search for it here in Q&A and forget sd-builds.
I might have some time tomorrow to search the correct link for you.
And clio is right. For further information look here

Just a sideinfo: you could try to disassamble your hd2 and change the usb connector or the motherboard... or buy a defect hd2 ti test around.. for both you could search for it on ebay.. for the disassamble guides on youtube.

Therefore nobody gave him incorrect information If you can't flash HSPL via SD card, NAND Android won't work properly. Nobody said you couldn't flash cLK via SD card though
Also, if you don't have a .50 radio you will have to update your stock ROM via SD card. Download the stock ROM for your device and extract it somewhere, find RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to Leoimg.nbh and place it on your SD card. Reboot your phone into bootloader and follow the instructions from there to flash. I've never done this before and this is just off the top of my head from what I can remember reading, so if you need to do this google the process first just in case I missed something
And yes, you can run any ROM off the SD card, from ICS to MIUI to CM7 to Sense.
Guys, there was time in HD2 BEFORE hspl existed

IF you are technically sound and IF you have some patience, look up HD2 goldcard. There were a few common goldcard images somewhere - this is a hit or miss for you as to create a goldcard for your phone, you need the USB of your phone. Since we can't go with that, try the different images - and hope one of them works. Repeat the following steps with different goldcards until one of them clicks or until you run out of them.
Once you have a goldcard in place, look for cLK 1.5 RC1 from Rick_1995. This version of cLK includes clockworkmod. Place the leoimg.nbh file in the root of SD Card, power on the phone with volume down. If all goes well, the leoimg.nbh will flash, which means you will have cLK bootloader with Clockwordmod recovery.
Read up how to create partitions without a PC (and hence without using USB) using cLK 1.5, and you should be good to go.
Important Note: I have never used a gold card to flash cLK 1.5 on my phone. A gold card disables ROM ID checks, and was used in the good ol' days to flash stock HTC ROMs on carrier branded HD2 phones. The same may or may not apply for flashing cLK 1.5, give it a try - this is the only chance of ever getting NAND Android on your phone.
If the goldcard method did not work, see if you can buy another HD2 with the motherboard working (example, screen broken but booting) and replace the motherboard to get a working USB port. Or stick to Android from SD Card, follow @clio94's instructions - just make sure you have .50 radio, or flash a stock rom with a .50 radio using the leoimg.nbh method.

You`re right.For european hd2 model the only stock rom with radio .50 is the latest v3.14 that includes radio 2.15.50.14
so if his hd2 doesnt have hspl and no .50 radio he will find under battery the serial number of his device and then flash from sd card the properly 3.14 rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
and he will be able to run android from sd

Hi all,
First some explenation. My USB port broke . Since it is my own fault I can not return it. Now I am thinking of replacing the main board since I can not find out where the data lines could be connected to on the mainboard. Power I fixed. So my HD2 is fine but the USB does not work.
Now... I have HSPL2 and MAGLDR 1.11 installed on the device, but is there any way to flash radio's and or NAND ROMS from SD just like the WM6.x?
I read some stuff onces about partitioning SD for flash with MAGLDR 1.12 but I have 1.11
If this is posible, I can keep using my current HD2 and within a few months I can get a new one when my contract ends. Else I need a new mainboard.
Thanks

If your phone has already been partitioned via DAF then you can flash CWM roms via the SD card in recovery (CWM).
Well, I can always partition my SD on a computer, that I can do, still this leaves me with the radio. Is there an other way to do it, I know it should be posible, but is there anyone who already build such software?

Yes, you can flash radios from the SD card. To do this:
Rename the radio you download to "leoimg.nbh"
Place it on the root of your SD card
Place your phone in the bootloader (power off, hold vol down and power on)
Bootloader should recognize leoimg.nbh and ask if you want to flash it
YES.... Stupid me... That one is not afecting the rom area. Thanks, You are the best!
Well, I have an other question, i can't find anything that will partition my PHONE. Not the SD. Is there software for the HD2 which can partion the ROM without USB. I have CWM working fine, only the current partitions I have I miss the cache partition. If this is posible everyone can install everything but HSPL through SD.
I don't think its actually possible to partition your phone memory. At least, not with any software I know of.
Then i don't understand how stuff is working, All the CWM zips need a specific partition size, I don't have cash, so where are these located? like where is mtdblock1 and 2 for instance (system and data) Is mtdblock0 boot? is mtblock3 cashe?
How do I get my HD2 back to stock, I had it running Android on nand, but now my screen broke and I want to send it in for repair. I downloaded the T-Mobile software 3.14 and ran that, thinking thats how, but when I reboot my phone and press Vol. Down it still says I have CotullaHSPL how Do I get it back to stock.

If you sucessfully got HSPL of your HD2 using the advice samsamuel told you (wich is one of only two ways of getting it off hour HD2). Then just try reflashING the T-Mobile ROM. But if that does not work reflash HSPL to your HD2 and run a task 29 on your HD2 then remove HSPL again and reflash the T-Mobile ROM again. If you do not know what a task 29 is it will completely clean out the area of memory (NAND) that a ROM is stored in and reformat that space as well. It is good to do this when flashing a new ROM as it gives the ROM the best chance for a clean install with out a.y hiccups from the old ROM. Just do a such on google or here on XDA and you will find it.

by the way, do we need to use 8G or smaller card? may card is 16G. is that why i failed to flash via sd card?

Yes it is recomended to use a 4GB SD card or smaller to flash via SD card. Also make sure the SD card is formated using Fat 32.
Unable to load American Android 2.3 on HTC HD2.
Downloaded the American Android 2.3 for TMOUS->Extracted Android folder to blank SD card /sdcard/Android->Opened up file manager on HTC HD2 /sdcard/Android and ran clrcad.exe got the untrusted popup clicked okay->Ran haret.exe got popup again clicked okay then saw a few white command lines (maybe 5) then the green HTC logo appears and sits there for ever. I let it sit for 30 min and no change had to pull the battery and restart windows. Phone is up to date only difference might be is it has been unlocked through T-Mobile. Does anyone know how to avoid this?
Ergh
I even tried HSPL3 and that didn't help... I just want the American Android 2.3 Gingerbread to load on my HTC HD2.. WTF!
Im having the same problem as well. I did the fat32 primary partition, on a clean sd card, ill wait for 30 minutes before i give up. some one please help, i got the desire hd rom running but would like to see what the gingerbread 2.3.3 is like.
Did you flash a new radio rom?
SO, you are going from WIn 6.5 to Android just by haret ? You cannot
If I was you I would start all over flashing HSPL 3, then flash Radio 2.15, then install Magldr 1.3, then copy the zip file to sd card and install. It's as easy as drinking a glass of water.
Be sure you chose SPL 2.08.HSPL and NOT SPL 2.80 when you flash HSPL 3

Ok first off what valv507 is mistakenly thinking you are trying to run Andriod from NAND. When you flashed MAGLDR you wiped your ROM from your HD2. This is why you can not get past MAGLDR it needs a ROM to boot.
You will have to reinstall your Windows Mobile ROM (hope you dide not loose too much data ) make sure it is a 3.14 ROM as they are the best for running Android from SD. Also make sure you have the 2.15.50.14 radio or atleast the 2.14.50.02 radio, the 2.15.50.14 radio is the best though. Also reformat your SD card again but use the Panisonic software to format it as most people say it is better than the Windows software. You can download it here. Make sure you do a full wipe and format using Fat 32. Then place all of your files and stuff from your back up back on your SD card including your Adroid build. then try to boot the Android again.
Put your HD2 into bootloader to reflash your Win Mo ROM. Hold down the volume down button while powering on your HD2 to get to bootloader and make sure you see USB in the white bar of bootloader before you flash the ROM.

What if I just want to run Android from NAND? At this point I just want to flash Gingerbread 2.3 on there but want the best version of that with the fewest bugs. Do you have any links to such a ROM? How would I go about flashing it? Thank you for the help in advance.
If you do a YouTube search you cab find a "how to install " video for installing NAND Android GB 2.3.2 on the HD2, it also has links to ROMs, Radios and MAGLDR 1.13. I installed it in about 15 mins after d/ling the specified files and I have only had a HD2 for 3 days. Very good video.

What exactly are you asking here? Do youi want to know how to enter bootloader?
If so you just hold your volume down button down while powering on your HD2, this brings up the multicolor bootloader screen. From bootloader you can connect your HD2 to your computer wait for Serial to change to USB and then flash what ever you are wanting to flash radio, Windows Mobile ROM, splash screen, MAGLDR, and cLK. Click on my guide in my signature to get even more knowledge.
it is possilbe to have magldr installed running whatever NAND os you want.. and still boot ACA from sdcard.
the first post of the ACA thread has all the details you need to accomplish this.

to run it from nand you go to 10 services, than boot settings ,than select android sd ,than go to 10 again than select boot settings ad sd dir than select the android folder make sure there is not another folder named android, than go to ad sd nand and it will load. it tooked 15 minutes but he did say it would take long.
I took the same steps as the OP did and I'm experiencing the same problem. I am not planning to go through NAND and would like to stick with the SD build but it will not load. Any suggestions?
I'm using the latest American android build. Here is what I did:
1. Copy ENTIRE android folder to sd. If you want a faster boot time you need to copy over a new data image since one is not included in this build. It will create one on first boot, but this takes longer.
2. Once you've done this run clrcad then haret and allow it to boot. Mine took about 15 min total boot time to first lock screen without a data img. And about 7 to 10 min with.
3. Once you see the first screen DO NOT touch it. Let it settle for about 10 min. After that it should shut it self down.
4. Turn phone back on and boot android again. Letting it settle again for a few minutes. After 5 or 10 min of letting it settle pick it up and enjoy your sexy gingerbread.
Also, on a side not magldr is used for booting from wp7 to android. Haret is what is used for booting android from wm6.5
Hope this helped.

I came across an HD2 with a broken USB port... ie i cannot charge through it or send/receive data through it. I can still use the phone by having a spare battery and an external battery charger
is there a way to install android on this without needing the USB port?
you need usb to install hspl, magldr and recovery....rom can be installed through sdcard...but to get there u need a usb..
changing usb port is easy if you know little bit of soldering and a spare usb head (you can get this in radioshack)...but u should know wat u r doing ...else u might damage the device
If you have HSPL installed, then you are lucky. You can Install cLK 1.5 from SD card with built-in recovery. Download from here.
Yeah, just dl clk1.5, extract the zip, copy the leoimg.nbh file to your sd, startup your mobile, press and hold the vol down key before starting (for ttricolored screen), and let it install clk (tricolored screen shoukd turn automaticly into grey and ask you if you want to install the.nbh file). Cwm comes with clk. And you can change the cwr(clockwork recovery) size via clk perfect ffor broken usb devices

Unfortunately you can't install NAND Android as you can't install HSPL, however you can run SD Android. Just update to the latest stock ROM 3.14 via your SD card (search for a guide, something to do with downloading the package and renaming one of the files [I think RUU_Signed] to leoimg.nbh and flashing in bootloader). This will give you the required/compatible radio. Then just download an SD build, place it on the root of your SD card and run CLRCAD and HARET.
Thanks so much for the quick reply!
I have already tried this approach with Artemis_v370_0409_WWE rom, but the phone gets stuck at "Loading..." on a gray screen. I also downloaded RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe but as you might guess it was of no use due to the broken usb. Do you have any idea where I can find a stock 3.14 rom that can be installed as a .nbh?
Cheers

Here I think the process is the same, a custom ROM such as Artemis won't work as it requires HSPL
Thanks! The guide provides a link for for an official rom only in the end when stating "So, assuming you have flashed an official ROM over 2.10 via the SD card and you decide you want a custom ROM, follow these simple directions:
(You do not have to have your phone connected to your PC for these steps)
Download the "Official" ROM from here."
Yet, my rom is only 1.48. Should I flash it anyway?

I don't think it matters, but courtesy of mskip's tutorial here you can see that you have to:
- Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash
Thanks big time!!!
Lastly, which rom should I download? I heard some nasty things about bricking your phone by installing 2.08 or >2.10 through the sd method, but I didn't quite understand it...

Neither do I but if you've read about those issues then best not to do that. Basically use any ROM with a .50 Radio (it'll be in the name of the ROM) and you will be able to use SD Android
i dont think so....
Well, in fact, I was able to install wm6.5 v3.14 after I contacted HTC and they told me I need a Czech rom (?! ). After that my radio was 2.15.50.xx and now I am able to boot perfectly any SD Android rom! That's what I call a transformation!
The only problem I encounter is with Skype on every rom - it crashes and the mic works improperly.
Hello
This is my current situation:
I have an european market HD2, with the following changes from stock:
HSPL (2.08 I think)
MAGLDR 1.13
CWM recovery 3.2.0.0
RADIO updated to 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
NANDROID 2.3.7 with kernel 2.6.32.15_tytung_r14My USB plug is no more. Apart from changing the phone's mother-board the's no way to fix the USB socket.
Therefore I cannot flash anything on my phone via USB, only via CWM.
I need to SIM unlock my phone. From what I've read there is no way to enter the unlock code and make it work, other than to have stock WinMo 6.5 on the phone.
How could I unlock my phone given this situation?
Can I unlock via Android?
Can I run WinMo 6.5 from SD?
Thank you.

I assume you were referencing this thread when you say you read it somewhere. Samsamuel's pretty much always right so I guess that's true. If it's possible to flash a WinMo 6.5 Custom ROM via your SD card (i.e. using Leoimg.nbh) then you should be fine. You'd have to:
1. Backup your stuff with Titanium Backup
2. Flash to a WinMo custom ROM (I say custom ROM because I think flashing a stock ROM via the SD card will replace the SPL version too)
3. Unlock your sim
4. Flash NAND Android on cLK.
5. Restore your data previously backed up.
Before doing this though I'd recommend waiting for someone else to answer in this thread and confirm this works, because I could be wrong of course.
For now I'll wait as you recommended.
But you raised another issue...

I'm not familiar with this type of flashing. Can you please elaborate?
Thank you.
UPDATE: I just searched it and found out it can be done via cLK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114053

Yeah, you can Flash NAND Android via cLK (hence I put it in my steps lol) but have you found any evidence saying that Sim unlocking works via cLK? It's quite possible, as cLK is much more like native Android than MAGLDR.
