What stage are you on? Have you flashed MAGLDR yet? If you can't find daf.exe in order to flash MAGLDR then I have no clue what it is, but if you mean when trying to flash a ROM then see this excellent guide (by mskip as well) which is more up to date. You need to download and flash CWM and then flash a ROM as a zip file for (as far as I know) every single up to date ROM.

i followed the guide to the letter, so yes i have magldr and cwm.

Daf is for old style roms, or for flashing flash.cfg style cwm layouts. If you use the nand toolkit you can forget about daf.
Apply 2.08.Hspl *
Apply Radio 2.15.50*
Install Magldr *
Install Cwm which also partitions the nand to the size required by your chosen rom
Create ext partition using cwm*
Copy romname.zip (don't extract it) to SD
In cwm choose flash zip from SD.
* steps only need doing once, or after you task29.

Well, you haven't followed the guide to the letter then, otherwise you would have read that you have to (as samsamuel said) place the .zip on your SD card and flash the ROM as a zipped file

Yea use toolkit. Make the install clean and fast! You wont have to worry about missing DAF file.

new question
when i go to ad recovery in the magldr menu the screen reads
android load raw
[k]11808000:2b78e8 12800000:22fdef 11800100
load done!
1efatal hit 1
what in the world does that mean?

Good to know that Look at the OPs or posts I was replying to and you will not find a single instance where I either didn't help at all or where the person I was raging at didn't deserve it. I am an asshole towards people who are simply too stupid to serach and stuff like that. You're clearly not one of those people and I replied as such, with a concise and correct answer. Even if I do flame someone, I will mostly give them a link to the correct answer (assuming I know it) somewhere in the post. However, I cannot tolerate posts involving 'How do I flash Android' or 'What is the best ROM', and if you just reply normally to these questions people will keep spamming them.
Now post me the guide you used, and I can 100% guarantee that if it was a full guide involving flashing a ROM via CWM I will be able to find something about flashing a zip file.

[Q] New Rom help

So i have a pretty much newbie question. I figured out how to load a new rom on my tp2 I am currently using Energy Rom, rom date 3/15/10 with manila 2.520161332.0, radio version 4.4825.20. I am through at&t and i was wondering how i load the newest Energy rom and which one that is? maybe someone could post a link with it, if they have time. Also what do I do for steps as in for loading a new rom when i already have a burnt one on my tp2. Sorry such a newbie question hope I can get some help from experts, thank you.
Might want to look in the ROM Development subforum. The process is covered in detail there.

Thank you for the response, I already did my first flash from stock to energy rom dinik. question is do I have to do the hard spl again? I was reading about task 29 Do i do that to clear this current rom? Then load the new one? I guess my main question what steps do I follow to replace a out dated flashed custom rom?

Ah, that's a much more clear question. Hard SPL is permanent until you flash the stock one back for whatever reason. Basically, it'll stay there until you remove it yourself. task29 is a good idea to do between ROM flashings. It clears out and formats the internal memory. It prevents the device from retaining traces of the old ROM when you flash the new one. Use the order listed below.
1. back up any important data and reboot into bootloader (hold voldown while pressing reset)
2. run task29
3. flash new ROM
4. hard reset (hold talk/send and end while pressing power button)
5. set up the new device
The hard reset is kind of optional, but I do it anyway since I'm kind of OCD like that.

thank you very much this should help just a couple questions (sorry I was very cautious when flashing my first rom as well, because I didn't want to screw anything up).
1. If i dont wanna save any data besides whats on my sim and sd card just remove both before starting any of the 5 steps?
2. Are there any roms with cookie 2.0?
3. In step one you say reboot into bootloader (hold volume down while pushing reset, which button is reset?
4. Task 29 I jus run on my comuter i take it while synced?
Sorry I'm very cautious lol if you cant tell, just want to make sure I dont mess anything up.
Thank you for your help I feel about half way ready to attempt again lol.

All of these questions could have been answered if you read some of the threads available in the ROM development area. You're lucky I'm feeling generous today.
1. Removing the SIM and SD is optional. I never do, but some people swear by it. It's up to you whether you do or not.
2. There are lots of them. Have a look around. You could always install it over an older CHT version or onto a ROM without CHT at all.
3. There should be a tiny reset button hole that your stylus will fit into on the right side of the device under the battery cover. If you have a T-Mobile device, it's right next to the noise-canceling mic on the left side. You should already be in bootloader when you flash anything, including task29.
4. task29 has two files. The *.nbh file can be anything at all. It makes no difference. The *exe that comes with the download is what does the formatting. You should already be in the bootloader before doing this. It will flash the *.nbh file onto the device. When it is finished, it runs the format command from the .exe and formats the device. Once the percentage gets to 100%, it will hang for a moment while the task29 command is running. It takes about 10 seconds while it says 100% on the screen. During this time, hold down the voldown button until it reboots. Once you get back to the bootloader, go ahead and flash your next ROM.
Once you get the hang of it, the whole process shouldn't take you more than about 15 minutes or so. Setting everything back up after a flash is what is so time-consuming. Most ROMs come with some form of an auto-install program designed to install programs and import other data automatically. Read the thread of whichever ROM you choose before diving into it.
Don't ask us for our opinions on which ROM you get either. That's like asking which music you should listen to. Everyone likes different things. Just keep flashing ROMs until you find one you like. Otherwise, you can find hundreds of threads from other users asking "Which ROM should I choose" all over the forum.
Ok. sounds pretty easy, thank you for being so generous and as I was browsing I found a link with how to run the task 29 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5845908&postcount=1 from what i gather on this just sync and run the .exe file and that should take me to the bootloader screen? and the after its done run my .nbh file from my custom rom and should be the end besides setting up the rom? I've seen to many people ask which rom is best and seen the responses people have given them so I know better to ask lol. Thank you once again, I greatly appreciate it.

It sounds like you've got it. Just don't use the customromruu.exe file from the task29 to flash anything other than the nbh that comes with it. It will erase anything it flashes to the internal memory right after flashing it. Any other ruu.exe file is interchangeable for anything else, though.
I downloaded the task 29 zip folder and unzipped it and got a file "task 29 provided by doloop" take it that is what I'm suppose to use? One last question for you, on this sight how do you find the latest version of a rom?

They must have changed the format of the task29 tool. Either that or I've got an older version. Mine's wrapped up nicely in one simple *.exe file. If you downloaded the *.zip from the first post of the task29 thread, then just double click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe to begin the process. Where did you download your file from? Provide a link so I can better answer your question.
The latest version of a ROM is normally on the first page somewhere. It varies by chef, however. Some put links as a reply in the thread, so it might be a ways back. Check the first page of posts first. If you don't find it there, ask on the thread. Be sure to read the rules and FAQs of the ROM before posting questions.
The best advice I can give you is to always search first before posting questions. Take the time to show other members that their time is no less valuable than your own, and most members will bend over backward to help you out. If you post without searching or doing work for yourself, it tells other members that your time means more than theirs, and you are more likely to get flamed rather than helped.

Extract and drop the attached file into a folder with that *.exe, and you'll be all set. This file is basically just a tiny OS that it will flash before hand. As I said, once the process gets to 100%, it will hang there for about 10 seconds or so while it formats the memory. It will erase what this file writes anyway. I think the *.nbh from the first post is a HTC boot screen file. That will change the first boot screen you see when the device powers on and you see the red letters at the bottom left of the screen. I don't need to change my boot screen, so I use this one, since the task29 will wipe it out right after, leaving no trace of anything being flashed.
Thank you very much, quick question while your here, got my rom downloaded after the task 29 do i run the .nbh file or rhodium software upgrade? Can't say thanks enough
with the file you gave me after i extraxt with 7 zip it says windows cannot recognize this file? is it cause i have windows 7?

You don't run that file. Put the *.exe into a folder with the*.nbh file I just gave you. You run then double click on the *.exe to begin the task29 process. The *.nbh is a required file. I don't know if it is included in the one you downloaded or not.
On second thought, here are the task29 file I use. Extract to a folder, run the *.exe, be happy, in that order.
Got it work with the two files custom ruu and the .nbh just click the custom ruu one and start from there? Sorry for being a birden.

Make sure the device is connected via ActiveSync, or put it into bootloader and make sure it says USB at the bottom of the screen. After you confirm one of these two scenarios, run the*.exe. Once it gets to 100%, hold the voldown button and allow it to boot back into the bootloader. From there, wait for USB to show at the bottom, and begin flashing the new ROM. I honestly don't think I can make it clearer than this. I hope you get it working.
You've made it very simple i just got to the bootloader screen thank you, it says usb, but when i try to run the custum ruu nothing happens

I assume you meant the *.exe is giving you the message. Turn off antivirus software, and run the file as administrator.

how NOT to get your hd2 bricked while flashing wp7

Yes and obviously you knew that! So common dictates that this question will have been asked before and because it is a obvious question there will be guides/sticky topics about it.
The whole purpose of the guides etc is so that people read them, not just assume they dont exist, not bother to check and the create topics asking for them. Please use some common sense!
Just boot into MAGLDR and flash with the installer that comes with the rom, simple!
If you haven't got magldr either then you need to go read teh magldr thread.
Simply put your device into bootloader mode (hold volume down button while booting) then run magldr flasher or use the all-in-one HD2 tools in the Android NAND sticky thread.
PS. PLEASE watch the following video to the END!
Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939682/ carefully, and you will know what to do. After done the step C, boot into the MAGLDR, go to 5. USB flasher, run the DAF.exe in your favorite rom.

sir, i read a lot before flashing anything on my phone,bt still somethings like having "2.xx.51.xx" or ny hd2 with 51 in as its radio will brick, always miss out,
yes ppl do post guides, they post it coz on their mobile it works, ppl DO follow their guide before flashing anything,bt they still do get bricks,as every phone is unique and have different variable associated with em.
i just wanted to make a checklist of things to check before flashing anything,
and abt that video, sir believe me i am more than capable of abusing/insulting verbally, but unlike u, i RESPECT ppl and try to think BEFORE saying anything . seeing ur thanks meter m sure u were capable posting something useful that wld have saved someone's hd2,but u chose to post that.

Good day to all
I am new to the site and would like to say hi to everybody, especially the developers doing awesome work.
I am from South Africa and not sure which rom to use. I want to install Android on my HD2. I am on the Vodacom network I have read here that installing wrong rom can brick the phone. If any body can point me in the correct direction it will be appreciated, also the correct install process. I downloaded Team Blue Roid rom but not sure how to install.
Enjoy the day
Heres what you'll want to do:
Install HSPL
Flash a X.XX.50.XX radio
Install MAGLDR
Install CWM Recovery with the proper size partition layout for the Android ROM you wish to use. The partition size is usually listed on the the first or second post of the ROM's thread
Place the rom.zip file at the root of your sd card
With the sd card in the phone, boot into MAGLDR, and go into CWM Recovery (AD Recovery), choose Flash zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, and flash the rom
I would recommend using the HD2 NAND Toolkit to flash HSPL, MAGLDR, and CWM Recovery. It makes it much simpler than doing each thing as its own separate process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783&highlight=toolkit
You can run any Android ROM on your HD2, just follow the directions I have listed here in order, and read and follow the directions in the thread where you find your rom

This is a very good guide to installing full NAND Android on the HD2. I followed this, and it made it very simple and clear. The main thing to understand is that if you read and follow instructions, you will NOT brick your phone.
Good luck

[Q] whats the easiest way to install android

Hi, I have the hdc hd2 with spl 3.03.0000 xe, and radio 2.15.161.3.
You maybe able to tell by that that im new to this, but want to install android as i dont like windows 6.5. I've managed to install a stock windows rom with the information i've learned here. But now i need help.
I want to install froyo or gingerbread as ive used these before on other phones.
So what is the easies way to do it and wheres the best place to get the rom from.
Please try to make it as simple as possible, Thanks.
It depends, do you want NAND Android or are you happy with running SD Android? Basically, if you want SD Android it couldn't be simpler. Just go to the SD section, download a build, place the Android folder on the root of your SD card and hit CLRCAD then HARET in the file manager. If you want NAND Android it's still pretty straightforward. Follow this guide and you should be fine. If you find even this guide too complex try using the NAND Toolkit. If you can't use that, don't bother flashing NAND Android and stick with SD Android.

Thanks guys after more reading and searching i think i should go the nand root.
This means i need hspl on it it first and i can only install this if i have spl 1.42.0000. Mine says spl-3.03.0000. It also says installing a stock rom will roll this back. I've installed stock win rom yesterday and it didnt touch the spl.
Can i still install hspl with this or do i need it?
Is there a list of available roms on this site?

*sigh* did you read Marvlesz's post about Google? Download HSPL4 and use it to flash HSPL 2.08, no ROM downgrade is necessary. Basically after you've done that it's as simple as flashing MAGLDR, CWM and your ROM (and trust me, all of that won't take you more than 30 minutes at the very most).

Check your device manager did u see mobile device? and is it working?
if not try to Reinstall the WMDC driver?
I used to have this problem too after i reinstall the driver the phone will be detected again.
However if u still can't connect the phone to your PC (it's driver problem, i think).
Try task 29 Change to cLK for me it fixed everything. (using HD2 toolkit is easiest way)
Sorry for being a bit dumb here but stuck again.
I've downloaded 4 roms-
danik supersonic v1.0 lite
boxmax.s3.5v8.0.magldr
boxmax.s3.5v8.5.magldr
boxmax.s3.5.v8.5.haret.sd
unzipping the first 3 provide no DAF.exe or install.exe, so stuck there.
unzipped the last and copied to sd card and the phone just stalls on the htc quietly brilliant screen.
What can i try next?

Which guide did you follow? The one I posted or the one which Marvlesz posted? Use the one I posted because the one he posted is outdated. You install CWM then flash the ROM as a zip file. I really have no clue how somebody can find it so difficult to follow simple instructions: DOWNLOAD A NAND ROM, NOT AN SD ROM. You've said that you want a NAND ROM and then you try to flash an SD build? At least have some common sense, please. Unless you have a problem which cannot be solved by reading in the future I refuse to give any more help, because it appears to be hopeless
thanks again i've learned alot more tonight, got my first flash done just waiting for it to load. Last question before i leave you alone Is there a way to tell the difference between which mods are CWM and which wont work.

Basically all ROMs use CWM, other than the DFT Stock Desire ROM. For everything else, just download the MAGLDR version of the ROM if there is one (many ROMs automate MAGLDR/cLK), change your system partition to the required size and flash the ROM.
hi tried downloading 6 roms now
DFT_LEO_NAND_Android
BoxmaX.S3.5.v.8.5.Magldr
For.user.Nand.v8.x
BoxmaX.S3.5.v.8.5.Haret.SD
BoxmaX.S3.5.v.8.0.Magldr
DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
Android_2.3.5_Danik_Supersonic_v.1.0_Lite
Put all of them on the memory card and it only recogognises the Danik one when i go to choose zip from sd card.
When i try to load that it goes through ok till i reboot then it freezes at the HTC screen.

Is that how you say thanks to those who were trying to help you ?
Follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16528026&postcount=7 شبر بـ شبر and you should have Android by the end of its steps.
(btw, post reported)
I've said thanks before for his help. Ive asked for the difference between mods and how to differenciate them, i cant work out out why only 1 out of 6 is recognised. And i've downloaded the magdlr versions as suggested.
Then he calls me f*cking stupid. Think i have every right to be p*ssed off.
What do you mean by "Difference between mods" ? All mods come in a .zip package that is flashed in CWM.
When you download something (any mod, rom, kernel or anything) off the NAND section (this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928 ) it is going to be a flashable CWM. (Unless noted)
But when you download something off the SD section ( this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735) it is going to be ... well ... to be put on the sd without flashing.
Is this what you are asking for ?
Nigeldg said:
Which guide did you follow? The one I posted or the one which Marvlesz posted? Use the one I posted because the one he posted is outdated. You install CWM then flash the ROM as a zip file. I really have no clue how somebody can find it so difficult to follow simple instructions: DOWNLOAD A NAND ROM, NOT AN SD ROM. You've said that you want a NAND ROM and then you try to flash an SD build? At least have some common sense, please. Unless you have a problem which cannot be solved by reading in the future I refuse to give any more help, because it appears to be hopeless

Sorry, but I have every right to call you stupid too. I even posted DOWNLOAD A NAND ROM, and you go on and download ROMs from the SD section? It's frankly pathetic if you can't do that little reading, and if I were you I wouldn't bother flashing anything in the future. You're lucky you have a pretty much unbrickable device, because if you didn't I'm sure you would be sitting right there with a useless piece of hardware right now.
Thanks Marvlesz, thats got me sorted, the problem was when he said just download the "MAGLDR version", i thought anything with that in the name was the correct one. I'm not here to get into a slanging game so i'll just leave it that.
Thanks again.

[Q] MY htc hd2 with android on it

hi
i have a htc hd2 tmobile version and its installed with android 2.3.5 and its got a MAGDLR v1.13 and Clockwork v3.1.0.0 courtesy of a friend ... i have never flashed a android before, recently i tried to hard reset and ended up with the phn struck at the htc icon on startup with a white screen... i press hold the power button and see that magdlr has some option like 'flash from usb' and stuff and also i am able to see the option 'ADrecovery' which takes me to clockwork options which has even more options ......
can i just flash the ics veriosn using usb flash option or do i need to have a ext SD to do this ? and wht should i do to flash what all should i download or can i just flash the rom using what's already on my hd2
herez the link to the page of xda which i wanna flash on my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860)
and pls do tell me what can i do to make my phone work again all that happens is the bootloader loads and my mobile is stuck at a white page with letter HTC across and nothing happens
btw my rom type is NAND i guess coz i see NAND when the boot loader loads
btw pls explain what's a hspl and radio is, i have come across these words while going thru several threads but it made no sense to me
thankyou all in advance

Follow the first link and you should be good to go.
And if your rom is working fine, no need to upgrade anything.

well i installed the new rom and finally it ended up at the same place after the boot screen doesnt load any more after the HTC appears on the screen.... i really dont get whats wrong .... well atleast HTC appears more stylish now i guess some customization frm new rom maker the back ground is dark with green htc letters now instead of white back ground....
isnt there anything simple like the evasion tool which is so simple and u sit back while the windows application does the installation work for u

What size /system partition did you use? Make sure it's above the minimum size for the ROM you selected.
Also, right now you're just proving precisely why people such as myself recommend avoiding toolkits. You've run into a problem and you have absolutely no clue how to fix it or what you've done wrong. From your old phones you're used to one button just fixing everything, but that's hardly going to work now.

Tone down your font size, it'll only make people LESS likely to help you. Read the guide in my sig, it should explain all of the terms you need to know and make things clearer. The SD partition is the size of the SD-EXT you created e.g. 1GB. The /system partition is the part of the NAND allocated to system apps. You chose the size of this partition when flashing your recovery of choice. You can edit the size of the partition by reflashing CWM via the HD2 NAND toolkit (this isn't a one-click toolkit so I'm not contradicting myself by recommending it ) and selecting the size your chosen ROM requires.

I thought I was quite nice earlier but right now I have to ask you, are you honestly that stupid? Have you even read any of the previous replies I gave you where the word toolkit was mentioned multiple times? I sincerely hope that the only reason for this is that the translation wasn't very good because otherwise there's not much anyone can do to help you.
