Hi,
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do,but if you are attempting to install a NAND ROM ,You must place the ZIP onto root of your sd card.
More information is required:
Are you using magldr or clk,
Is this your first attempt?
What have you done up to this point?

if you are talking about the SD version of android, you unzip it into Android folder and run the two files.

Alright, this is what i'm doing .
First i deleted everything off my SD card, then i unzipped the file, then it comes up as 3 folders, so i put those in my SD card, then i install MAGLDR, then i install CLK, and then i chose the option to boot from SD card from the MAGLDR menu but nothing happens.
If it's any help, i'm trying to do this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060

You're trying to install it through CWM/ Clockwork Mod.
Follow the instructions on his thread, READ, not scan, skim, survey, READ! He has two methods presented, one with installation for cLK (a bootloader for android) and installation for MAGLDR (a bootloader for android and WP7). Use either guides he has.

Sorry, i'm a noob .
But look : Download MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.0.2.5_for_NexusHD2_135M.zip (5.1 MB)
Enter MAGLDR 1.13 by holding power key while booting the phone, and then select "USB Flasher" via "VolUp" and "VolDown". Confirm key is green "Call" button.
Run DAF.exe to flash ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.5 (MAGLDR_recovery_3.0.2.5.img).
Says you gotta do both .. :/

Do both what? He's just presenting steps. Just do what he says. Using the vol down/up keys, and the call button to select, pick USB flasher. Plug phone into computer. Flash the daf.exe from the zip he presented above his instruction.
Then proceed with what he says. Please read. Reading is a fundamental, universal skill needed to get through life, not just used to improve your experience in xda.

Ok,
I can see you very confused...
Magldr and clk are both bootloaders.
You only need ONE.
What was the name of the file you unzipped?
Reboot your phone and when it starts and vibrates ,hold the "end call" button on the right.
If you see this:
aMAGLDR V1.13
Build: Feb 1 2011 03:46:07
by Cotulla 2011
1. Boot WPH
2. Boot AD SD
3. Boot AD NAND
4. USB Mass Stg
5. USB Flasher
6. USB TTY
7. AD Hard reset
8. AD Recovery
9. Tetris
10. Services
11. Reset
12. Power Down
then you have MAGLDR installed.
edit:curse my slow typing.
3 posts while I was plodding.
Dunno if I helped

I know i have MAGLDR installed because i did it a coupe hours ago ..
I just don't know what to do with all the files & folders i get when i unzip the ROM .
This is way too confusing for my tiny brain .. :/

It says that first you have to install MAGLDR and THEN enter into CLW ..
Look : " Enter ClockworkMod Recovery when you're on MAGLDR 1.13 "
Sorry, this is just really confusing for me

See, this is how i have the files in my SD card, then i go to Boot AD SD and it doesn't work :/

Well might as well write a guide for you. XP
Download MAGLDR 1.13.
Install MAGLDR from the tri color screen, which is accessible from powering on the device whilst holding volume down.
Download the CWM 150mb partition.
Turn on your phone whilst holding the power button.
Navigate to usb flasher
Plug phone into computer
Flash the daf. Exe in the Cwm file you downloaded.
Download your android build.
Put the build on the root of your device.
Power up your phone whilst holding power button.
Navigate to ad recovery
Navigate to install zip from sd
Navigate to select zip from sd
Select the zip to install.
Navigate to yes.
Wait for it to install despite how long.
When done, go back and navigate to reboot device.
Note the word zip. Meaning don't unzip the build.

For MAGLDR NAND Boot;
1. Download recovery with partition size for the type of rom you plan on using, see guide below if unsure.
2. Extract downloaded file and load magldr into USB Flasher mode.
3. Run DAF.exe and follow instructions
4. After completed and phone reboots, hold power key and select AD Recovery from list
5. Recovery will now load

simpler answer is to press the power on button and hold it pressed until you are in magldr menu. there you can select ad recovery

If you're using cLk, hold the home button.

How to Bypass cLK Fastboot screen!

I noticed many of you including myself, while trying to install cLK using RUU in order to run NAND get stuck at the Fast boot screen (forgot to update the kernel).
At that stage the SD card seems inaccessible and your phone won't respond to hard resetting. Well I found the solution to restore your phone back to normal!!
Suggest you grab ksubedi's HD2 tool and (assuming you already have HSPL installed)
1. Power off the phone (pull the battery if required)
2. Hold on the Vol Down key, press power
3. Connect to the computer, on the red-blue-green-white screen, wait for Serial to change to USB (if not install WMDC)
4. Run the HD2 toolkit, choose Task29 (this will wipe your phone out)
5. When the phone reboots, hold down the vol again to get back to the red-blue-green-white screen, ensure you see USB
6. Choose cLK Repartition, choose the right partition sizes (150 MB with 5 MB cache works for most non-sense ROMs), hit "Repartition"
7. When the phone reboots, press the Back button on the phone, wait till you get the Fast Boot processing commands screen (If you dont get this, you need to install the ADB drivers)
8. Choose cLK Install Recovery, hit "Install", press "Yes", follow instructions
Now download one of Energy Roms (which I prefer)
http://nrgz28.sylvester20007.com/Leo/Cookie/index.php
9. Extract the rom on your desktop
10. Open up your HD2 toolkit again
11. In the bottom of it, Click browse and select the NBH file on your desktop
12. Reboots, hold down the vol again to get back to the red-blue-green-white screen, ensure you see USB
13. Then Click install RUU on the HD2 toolkit to flash the new rom
Enjoy! and Thanks to ph03n!x

Thank me why, am just about to post something to contribute here
If you have the Android SDK's ADB/ Fastboot, and are stuck in the cLK Fast Boot screen, you can issue "fastboot reboot" from the folder where you have extracted fastboot.exe to reboot the phone, of course with the phone connected. This saves you from opening the battery cover to reboot.
And if you are in the fast boot screen already, dont bother doing a Task 29 again. Just open ksubedi's HD2 toolkit and install cLK recovery.
Finally, after installing recovery, hold down the Home key when the phone reboots - this will take you to recovery. In recovery, choose mounts and storage > mount USB to get access to the phone's SD Card (when plugged in to the computer, of course!). Copy your favorite .zip ROM to the SD Card, and flash it through "Install zip from SD Card" > Choose Zip.

So from what you stated here you Task29, MAGLDR, Radio (which one byt the way) but did you install Clockworkmod recovery? If you have done nothing then that's why you are stuck at HTC screen as you have no OS or anything loaded yet. MAGLDR is the only thing you have installed.
From your steps you then need to:
1. Install the appropriate recovery (which I and another user had linked you to in another one of your posts)
2. Boot into MAGLDR (by holding power button) and then boot into CWM recovery
3. Partition your sdcard with your desired size (512-1024mb respectively but do not forget to backup the contents of your sdcard as partitioning will format it)
4. Transfer the rom you want to your sdcard
5. Flash it from CWM recovery
6. Reboot
7. Enjoy Nand android build and go have a donut
Post if you have additional questions

I'll just keep my Doughnut to the side until I install Android
3) How do I back it up? And how do I know what size 512 or 1024?
I'll do the above steps and will report back.

Nice haha,
Anyway by backup your sdcard I mean save whatever is on the card (music, pictures, etc.) to your computer, that way you can copy it back to the card after you have everything set up
As for what size to partition your sdcard, it's up to you. That partition space is the size of memory you will have to install user apps so it depends on how many you plan on using
When you make it to recovery you will see the option to partition your card, it will take you through the process.

Ok after step 10 installing MAGLDR you should boot into the MAGLDR screen. Select the USB Flasher option, instead of using the Nand toolkit try downloading the recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=729033&d=1316816787
and using the daf.exe try flashing it that way. Make sure MAGLDR is in USB flasher selection.

Hey,
I have an HD2 and I format my memory card (16GB) on FAT32 and I put ClockworkMod Recovery 1.2.7 (zImage...) on the root of the card and I go to AD Recovery and say "No boot sources"
Someone can help me?
Thanks!!
PS: I already install the HD2 Toolkit but when I go to USB Flasher my HD2 say Wait USB...USB and freeze!! :crying:

Ad recovery is to start nand recovery, you want to boot SD.
PS. Its not frozen, its waiting for you to tell the nand toolkit what you want to do.

You need initrd too.

If I do this will my existing HD2O WPH 7.8 installation get messed?
I just want to try an Android ROM from another SD card (not the one that works with HD2O's ROM.)

Partitioning will remove wp7.
Get an SD android rom, put on SD card, into mgldr, set SD source to the folder you put the rom in, , choose boot ad SD

Thank you
Works as described!
