My wife was having trouble with Windows mobile on her HD2 and asked me to flash Android on her phone so it wouldn't constantly crash and what not.
I have:
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
* Radio that support 576 RAM
* DFT MAGLDR Bootloader
* ClockworkMod Recovery
from this guide right here.
And I have installed this ROM via ClockworkMod instead of the ROM mentioned in the first guide because I thought Cyanogenmod 7 would be nicer.
Here is the problem, the phone has been stuck on the "HTC HD2" screen with the Android logo and "MDJ" on the bottom right corner, it has been stuck for over 30 minutes now so I'm going to assume something went wrong, the problem is that I can't figure out what. Does any one have any ideas? was something I did incompatible with anything from the 2 different guides?

I'm sorry...But which part of following the android build developer's instructions do you not get?....Fine, u decided 2 go thru CWR & i commend you for dat but it clearly states in [22 JAN] -=MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 [A2SD+][GRH78C][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.4 OC] thread from which you got the build that you should install thus;
Installation:
You should have at least MAGLDR 1.12 on device.
For installation you need enter MAGLDR (hold power button during boot)
and select "Flasher" via "VolUp" and "VolDown". Confirm key is "green".
(The above instructions means its a DFT build NOT FLASHABLE BY CWR).....
There are 3 videos in the original post detailing HOW to properly flash this rom...Now tell me...why oh why would you go against the original dev's instructions over one posted on a blog site?...
P.S. 4give my ranting but hope i solved your very SIMPLE problem and Yes, Flashing a nand DFT build will remove your CWR installation (which means should u decide 2 flash a CWR based build? u'll have 2 install CWR again.)
You know when I was looking over at all the information again I noticed that too risght after posting this, I guess all the information I just learned made me forget about needing at least MAGLDR 1.12, my bad. I've been looking for guides on how to update to 1.12 or 1.13 I've already downloaded 1.13 but since I can't get into windows anymore I don't know how to update MAGLDR. Can you help me out with that?

For magldr 1.13, boot to bootloader (multi-colured screen) and run the romupdateutility from the download. You will then need to apply the cwm1.3 partition and then boot to AD Recovery to install the rom.
Ok I was able to update to 1.13 through the bootloader, what I don't get is "to apply the cwm1.3 partition" I'm not familiar with the meaning of cwm1.3 since it wasn't mentioned in any of the guides I just read.

It doesn't matter if you have magldr 1.12 or 1.13. What matters is installing daf vs cwm and not daf-cwm.
Based on your first post, you tried installing a daf nand rom via cwm. That is, based on the links you have given. It has been point out also by vocrane on hist post.
I'm sure this is a dumb question but, what is daf?

Daf = daf.exe ie the executable file you click to install a "daf" build as opposed to a zip build which you flash via cwm from your sd card.
PS! you'll find info on cwm 1.3 here
I see, I couldn't find a daf.exe file from the downloads of the ROM I was looking at, does that mean I'll have to find another rom that is flashed via "daf.exe"?
If you need to install the rom via USB Flasher from magldr, it will either have a daf.exe or install.exe file (or should at least). The roms you flash via cwm are in zip format and have afew sub folders which you copy to your sd card (the full unzipped zip file that is) and you then boot into cwm and install the rom from sd card.
I really need to get some sleep, I just found it. I'm flashing it right now.

Here's a quick lowdown...
There r currently 2 main ways u can get android on ur hd2...
Method 1.......Thru sd card (gives u dual-boot options with either WP7 or WinMo 6.5.x
Method 2.......On Nand which installs directly on your device, thereby wiping out WinMo (u've progressed in dis path since u've installed MAGDLR 1.13)....
>>>>>>Method 2 has 2 options;
Option 1......Involves flashing a "DFT Build" via the DAF installer included in the downloaded Build...(D build by Cyanogenmod 7 u pointed out earlier has 2 be installed thru dis method)...
Option 2......Involves flashing a "Zipped Build" via the CWR method...i recommend using builds which have this installation option as they offer more flexibility (full backup & restore)...
Option 1 & Option 2 CANNOT co-exist wit each other...
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. I would link you to it but I am at work right now and I have the page saved to face on my home PC

If you want to go NAND Android just click on thr guide linked in my signature. I have links to two of the best guides on how to install NAND Android on your HD2 at the top of my guide. My guide is not a guide on how to install NAND Android but a guide to teach you what the things you need to install and run Android from NANN and WP7 are, what they do, and how to install them.
Also I use a non HTC Sense Gingerbread ROM and I really like it click the link for Hyperdroid in my signature if you want to check it out.

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.

Ok, So maybe you can help me here... Im trying to get this Latest American Android 2.3.4 and my phone is totally stock right now.. I used to have froyo 2.2 but I Hard reset my phone and formatted my SD card, So the phone is totally fac setting right now. So can you please explain step by step on what to do now and how to get that 2.3.4. Do I have to install any sort of rom or something?
btw here's the thread where I found the build

I have to post 10 post before I can post to another thread. 1
might sound a daft question, even.though most procedures to.install wp7 seem to be the same but explained differently, just would like to know which one u found easier? basically im after a very basic noobs guide!.hope someone can assist.i havnt flashed the hd2yet, ive been on many websites some with video tutorials.
i want to do it, but i dont want to screw it up..ive got a tmobile branded hd2 running 3.14 offical Rom. i know i need hspl 4 and 2.08.
Well, if you´re not familiar with flashing, it´s perfectly ok to be careful.
Installing WP7 on HD2 is really simple.
I suggest you download one of the newest builds out there (from May, those include the NoDo update).
Before installing it, you must prepare your HD2:
1) Using HSPL4, install HSPL version 2.08.HSPL
2) If not on your HD2, install Radio ROM 2.15.50.xx
3) Install MAGLDR 1.13
Now, you can go into MAGLDR bootscreen, select "USB flash", connect to the PC, and flash the ROM you downloaded.
That´s about it.
To return to WinMo, if wanted, just flash your stock ROM with the SD card method, everything will be put back to factory settings.
Wow , thats excellant mate..much appreciated ..
5) Install Zune
6) Install WP7 SDK
7) Install XAP's
i presume Zune is required to transfer data files ie music&video, are the other two steps neccesary? what do they do..? been reading other post about these but i cant seem to understand sorry
all sorted thanks

Why on earth would you install MAGLDR 1.10 when 1.13 is the latest and best? Anyway, flash 1.13 then I would recommend following this guide to install NAND Android, flashing via USB Flasher is outdated, CWM is the only way to go.

My buddy want's me to flash his T-Mobile HTC HD2 he want android to replace the pos winmobile, but I am getting a headache from the different ways of doing it and coming to dead download links for files needed to do something.
I was trying to find a good tutorial video but even the Videos that are in the **HD2 Android NAND Development - Sticky Roll-Up Thread* are dead. I need the needed links for the files I need and a good and clear cut tutorial. Also What radio version is suggested in "Radio Thread for T-Mobile USA" for his phone.
The T-Mobile HTC HD2 was the recalled one because of the issues with Windows Mobile lagging, frezzing.

you can ignore the radio for now. its a tmous phone, so the current radio will not give any trouble. one less thing to worry about..
(lets assume you are flashing the paranoidandroid rom - this would require a 150meg system partition - all roms will tell you what partition size to use, it may for example say 150/5 - this means 150 system and 5 cache, , , see below) - get the rom you want, it will be a zip file, dont unzip it. copy it to your sd card.
get hspl4 (my sig)
get the nand toolkit (google for 'hd2 nand toolkit', probably top result)
phone into bootloader with voldown + power
run hspl4 - choose 2.08.hspl - - - double check this, nothing will work with anything but 2.08.hspl
back into bootloader
**
run the nand toolkit
click install magldr
phone will reboot into magldr menu - choose usb flashing
in nand toolkit on teh left select 150 in teh list, and type 5 in eth cache box below
click repartition magldr
when it reboots into magldr menu, choose option 8 - ad recovery - this will start CWM (clockworkrecovery) which was installed when you clicked the repartition magldr button
in cwm choose 'install zip from sd - choose zip from sd' and find teh zip you coppied over
thats it. In theory the phone will reboot and boot into android.
ok
I downloaded
-HD2ToolKit
-HSPL4
-MAGLDR version 1.13
So basicly with your instructions is like this w w w. youtube .c o m//watch?v=Zd9luUWJ34o&feature=fvwrel after MAGLDR is installed
My buddy was thinking about icecream sandwhich is there by chance a list of android for this phone or do you have a suggestion of a either for Gringerbread or Icecreamsandwich
Also another thing is I have a question is Backing up the contacts
go to the nand development thread, and pick a rom. read all of posts 1-3 of any rom you want to try, and make sure you take note of its required partition size.
they are all 'the best rom', so don't ask that question, hehe.
for contacts, if you have it currently synced with outlook, myphoneexplorer works well for me.
ok one more is if the Radio have issues like dropping out etc. if that happens would you suggest of the radio firmware be updated.
you could try SD ROM first then if you like it you can go to NAND, SD ROM is much easier to install, try the link link below it might help.
No matter what his phone needs it because when someone texts him the phone will lock up for 5+ min depending on the message and if there is an attachment. I gave him the choice of flavor of Android and he picked out MIUI Android distro en. miui .com/
Ran into a Snag his phone has SPL-2.10 go to have to downgrade it.
hspl3 or 4 can both handle 2.10, run hspl3, choose 2.08.hspl, done. , dont get caught out following old guides which say you must flash an older rom to downgrade it.
I used this and went with out a issue [GUIDE] Downgrading SPL from 2.10.0000 (stock TMO) to 2.08
My buddy's phone is now android and does not lock up when getting a text message I put the latest MIUI Android on it and they had the install guide on there site.
