[Q] HTC HD2 - broken Micro-USB - How to install WP7? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hey guys,
I wanted to play around a little bit with Windows Phone 7 on my HTC HD2 but again encountered a problem with it.
The micro-usb-port of the phone isn't working for a long time now, but i never was needed to fix it (even though i tried ).
At the moment i have an old Android ICS Beta-ROM running on my device and also CLK...and there's were the problem is.
I have no clue how I now could get Windows Phone installed on my device without MAGLDR or how I could install MGLDR without my USB-port :S
It's not very important to get it running, but i want to have tried everything before I give up
So if you have any idea please share it with me...thanks in advance

Thank you for the quick answer

I had the same problem (steadily disconnecting from my PC and saying "Unknown device")... And I was surprised to see that it only was the cable... try it with another cable before you send it in...

Hey I have MAGLDR already installed and I want to try Windows 7 but my usb port is broken...is it possible to go back to android afterwards?

I have the same problem, I have radio 2.10.50.26 but Im having some issues with WP7 restarting itself and no data connection, so I want to flash the 2.15 radio. I think I need be running WinMo to do this, but I have no idea how to flash back to a winmo rom from WP7. Help?
Simple,
Get to the tri color boot screen (vol down + power button)
Flash your win 6.5 ROM.
Hi, I am also trying to flash back to 6.5 from WM7. Could someone please give me some more details about how to flash back? I have the 6.5 rom on my PC and can get to the boot screen no problem but if I then try and install the old rom it fails as the PC doesn't detect the phone as being connected. Any help would be much appreciated, as although I love WM7 on my HD2 when it is working, it has a habit of randomly rebooting a lot! Thanks!

Just keep your phone unplugged and put it in bootloader mode. After a few seconds, the bottom part of the screen should say serial. Once it says that, plug it into your computer. Serial should change to USB in a second. If your computer doesnt have a driver for it yet, it should install that. Once its done, and once your phone says USB on the bottom of the bootloader screen, you should just be able to run the rom installer on your computer and install it. Good luck!
Thanks for you help, I managed that fine, though I had also wanted to remove the Hardspl I had used to add WM7. I have tried flashing the stock ROM back (via SD card and via USB) to overwrite it, however it fails to install correctly and the phone is being very unstable. Any suggestions!?
According to the thread I used to flash HSPL to my phone, you just make sure youre running a stock rom, then run the HSPL program like you did when you first put on HSPL, but choose 2.08.0000 in the selection screen.
That said, I havent removed HSPL so Im not entirely sure what to do if that doesnt work. If thats what you tried, Im not sure what to tell you
Have tried fiddling again and think I have done it! In the boot screen it now says SPL-2.08 (hopefully this is stock!?) and the phone seems to be behaving! Cheers for your assisstance
Yup, thats stock. No problem

You can changes Radio Roms as you wish under any OS. Just hold the Vol Down key when switching on to enter bootloader and flash via USB from there.

Yeah, I figured that out after I flashed back to WinMo -_____- haha
Now I just need to figure out how to make Chevron communicate with my phone so I can activate WP7

Hmmm I actually havent tried that yet, Ive done pretty much everything aside from reinstalling windows and stuff. I shut off my wireless during the process though because I turned off my antivirus and firewall. Hopefully that will work. WP7 is nice even without being activated, but it certainly doesnt come with many apps.

You aren't trying to flash it while you're in wp7, are you? I don't see why else it would label it as a leo70. You flash while in magldr... go to the flash option in magldr, then flash the android rom. If you're doing it that way, then please state exactly what you're doing so we can figure out if you're doing anything wrong.
zarathustrax I think i know all the steps..I know I should have it in magldr.12 but when i put it in magldr.12 i keep getting a error that it wont connect even though it says usb under usb flasher. try to flash DFT nanadroid 2.2 rom then and it gives me a wrong device ID error. now after several atempts my computer and phone will not read each other and usb under usb flasher is just waiting for a connection....The phone has correct radio on it. also i can get it do the screen to say HSP 2.8 everything there is a go its just getting this darn thing to read it i guess..

Sounds like there's a problem with the driver. Reinstall windows media center and see if your phone is properly recognized by your pc.
Otherwise, you could try restoring winmo 6.5 directly via sd card. Google how to do this, as I'm replying using my phone and it's a tad difficult to search the guide for you.

Like person above said, make sure all drivers have successfully installed... also make sure you're giving it administative rights when running flasher. I know sometimes when I flash, the administrative permission window doesn't pop up the first time and then it gives similar errors like you're stating. If it still doesn't work, then try reflashing magldr by holding vol down when you turn on to go to bootloader, and flashing magldr installer. Might be a good idea to task 29 it, too.

Help me please to fix my phone

My phone got a little liquid on it and after that it frozen so I did a soft reset and now my phone is freezing on android boot screen every time. The problem is what my MAGLDR is not working properly now too and my ClockworkMod Recovery is not working at all, so I don't know how to reinstall soft now. The MAGLDR is kind of flashing always and its hard to control as sometime its not reacting to my button push. And then I try to go into ClockworkMod Recovery its just starts loading, does that 1234 go and it freezes on it, every time. But besides all this stuff my phone looks like working fine, just looks like it just has some software damage. I think it should work with a new soft if not at least I can send it to my insurance as I will change a soft back to normal, because now my insurance will not fix my phone as it freezes on android boot screen so whey will see that I have android and not windows. Waiting for any good advice. Thank you
Btw. My original boot loader is not working too, I can't get in to it. I think its because of the android.
i suggest flash the stock rom first , then do all the work again flash MAGLDR and then recovery and then the android rom you want to use and read the instruction for your device if you using hd2 EU or hd2 T-Mobile ... good luck

That's what I waned to do, but last time when I tried to connect it my computer couldn't find my phone. That's why I'm asked for a help here. I will try to connect it later today, after I come back from my work and I will post it here, if its connects or not
So yes, like I said before I cannot connect my phone using MAGLDR. USB Mass storage is working fine, when using USB Flasher my computer detects my phone but when I try upgrade a soft, I get connection error, it cannot find my phone. I don't know any other ways to connect my phone as I cannot get into boot loader Any help???

'USB mass storage is working fine'
You may be able to flash a stock ROM from the SD card but I think it involves the bootloader. Have a look at This thread and see if it helps (I CBA to read it properly, sorry )
Thanks, but yes it involves the bootloader
Does Bootloader normally work if MAGLDR & ClockworkMod Recovery is installed on device?
yea man its working fine in my phone .... okay how about if you get your phone and connect it to another pc ... maybe the wrong with your pc ... and run the usb flasher and flash the stock rom bro

Yeah that's a good point. If you can, trying PCs with different versions of Windows could help (i.e. XP, Vista, Windows 7 etc.)
Ok so I managed to connect my phone via USB Flasher on my work computer and I installed "[30.DEC.10][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM" without any problems but my phone still stucks on DFT Boot screen. I also tried to reinstall MAGLDR and ClockworkMod Recovery to get Clockwork Recovery work but it didn't work, it didn't change anything. Does any one have any ideas what can I do next? Is it possible to install wm 6.5 via USB Flasher? As I know it needs bootloader Does any one have more ideas how to fix it?
yea bro install the stock rom as wm6.5 using the usb flasher ... get it back to the stock then re-install any rom you want

I can't! Because wm 6.5 requires connection between bootloader or active sinc, there is not other way when instaling wm 6.5, and none of them work now on my device

I have a similar kind of problem, My phone does get detected on windows 8, but the DWI Bootlader WP7 rom package doesn't run.
I think it's a Win 8 bug.
I solved the problem by installing Windows Mobile!
Thanks

Setting up the phone with Windows 8 works fine, for loading MAGLDR, cLK, Windows phone, android etc...
I've used it to do all of the above.
