Hello there,
I bought the HTC HD2 and it came with a ROM Version of 3.14 and the Radio was also compatible. I installed MAGLDR and several Android Builts and it worked.
However, the screen frooze in ALL builts and in Windows 6.5. Thus, I thought i have a Hardware problem and need to send it in for Warranty.
Therefore, I looked up the "native" ROM for my build, which is supposed to be this one, which I downloaded directly from HTC.com: RUU_Leo_TMO_DE_1.72.111.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship
I installed this Version by pressing the Volume button down and the power button to boot into the bootloader. Then I connected the Phone the Computer and followed the Instruction on the Screen.
The first time it installed itself to 100% but after the reboot it got stuck in the T-mobile branded Logo (pink circle).
I tried to reflash the ROM several times, but it always ended at 10%. I also tried flashing the 3.14 version (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship),but this one also aborted at 10%.
Lastly, I tried to reflash MAGLDR 1.13, which officially finished at 100% but after the boot, I'm again stuck in the T-mobile logo and it does not enter the magdlr bootloader.
does anyone has any idea?
Rename the official rom to leoimg.nbh stick it on the root of the sd card. Boot into bootloader again and it will flash for you. P.s. DO NOT use the .51 radio if you're on t-mobile US. I doubt you are, but I have to mention it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and it seems to be working. Windows is starting again! you are a live saver. now i can send it in for warranty.
I have another question then. Currently I tried almost all NAND builds running FROYO, with everything working, and supposebly running stable.
However, during all builds I had screen freezes everywhere. Sometimes in the "go go go" screen, or afterwards during the next "HTC-logo", during the "pin-code", after the pin code, during some apps, etc.
First I thought, the build were not stable, but since it happend during all, I now think its the Hardware. Am I correct here, or is there something else I could try?
When I got my phone (windows 6.5) it already had freezes as well. and even when i made hardware resets and froze during the process...
The behaviour you're describing is not normal, and so I would recommend sending it back as it's still under warranty. If it was out of warranty, I'd maybe be tempted to try some things, but there's not much point when htc can fix it.

Hey Guys,
at first, i hope this question isnt coming again and again, but i couldn't find anything helpful (for ME!) yet.
I have the HTC HD2 and got really tired of Windows Phone 6.5, so i changed it to Android. (Took me weeks to figure that out until it worked)
My current ROM:
Android 2.2 HTC Desire
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
I use Magdlr and boot from NAND.
Superuser Elite is installed (bought it), but i cant update it - no matter what i do, it wont let me be root. I even tried the terminal, but when i type in "su" it directly says "permission denied". The problem is, my phone memory is low and i cant install apps directly on the sd-card (never found a guide how to get this automatically done).
What can i do??
i am rly desperate... the sad thing is, my boyfriend (yes, i am a girl) isnt much into smartphone stuff though he's got the new htc sensation - and also not into unix / linux systems - it seems all the guys i know besides only use an iPhone and google won't be my friend...
PLS PLS PLS HELP ME!
oh and sry for the bad language, grammar etc - i'm german ;-)
that is an old, out of date rom. It was the first proof of concept release when cotulla created magldr, so i would advise you to move to a different more recent rom. (We now have roms running android 2.3, 3 and even some early android 4 roms.)
There are very very few roms that flash in quite the same way, now, so you would need to learn about flashing CWM(clockwork, clockworkmod, clockwork recovery, it has several names)
Go get the 'android toolkit' from the android nand section, and then go read some of the guides from HERE

does it have app2sd built in the rom?
does the rom need sd-ext?
are you using tmobile or eu hd2?
MORE U EXPLAIN,MORE HELP U GET LOL
for a start,download link2sd from the market its free and easy to use,open the app,choose ext2,if a error msg appears,IGNORE IT for now and click on any app thats moveable u want to move to see if that works 1st
Old, outdated ROM with no root access. Use a newer one.
Yep its an old ROM. Don't worry though, you'll be able to redownload superuser on a new ROM. Just do what Sam says and it'll work fine. Surprised you even knew that you could flash android on to the hd2, because "you're a girl".
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =
ok guys thank you for the detailed informations!
i didnt know the rom is outdated - i guess installing a new one is the best idea in that case. i thought of that before, but it took me so long to get this one working so i wasn't in the mood for re-installing yet.
THANK YOU all, i will let you know if it worked - in case i cant fix this, would someone be able to help me via teamviewer?

I'm pretty sire you won't need to give remote access, you'll be able to do it. All you'll need is the latest magldr 1. 13 (if I'm not mistaking)
Once you've got that, you just need to flash the clockwork mod daf file from usb flasher on magldr, then when you flash into clockwork its easy, just flash a zip file.
You can backup ROM's etc. from clockwork so its really convenient.

I totally crashed it!!
Hi Guys - it has happened
i totally crashed my hd2.
what i did:
i read the guides and got the newest android nand toolkit. so, i performed task29 and installed hspl, then clk. the problem now is: i cant do anything else! when i boot, i get this white clk screen where i can choose recovery normal or sboot. i cant repartition, my phone has no connection when i switch into the mode "with the 3 colours"... so - i can copy to sd card what i want, i can perform every task with the toolkit, even the backup rom for the original windows phone doesnt help because it says: "pls check that you're phone is connected via usb". my pc has the android usb drivers, it shows the device, all ok. i cant go into usb flasher because it seems, no magldr is installed - i tried and tried so many things and now i cant even perform a wipe.
seems i need to give you remote access anyway....
PLEASE! help me!
if you need screenshots i will upload them, just let me know.
Start from the beggining by reflasing with the 3 colours on the screen, im no expert and I use magloader not clk, so try doing a fresh one with magloader and see how it goes

Plug the phone into the PC. Hold the back arrow key after turning the phone on to boot to fastboot . Then either try flashing Cwm via the NAND toolkit or do it manually through fastboot.
P. S. Did you install a radio?

Hello guys,
Does anyone know what does this message mean:"ERROR: ERROR: Cannot read ramdisk image"?
It appeared on my HD2 while I was installing an Android ROM on it and now I cannot run any other OS on it but Windows Mobile. I tried Google but had no luck. Only one person as far as I understood experienced this problem but I have no reply from him and I am not even sure if he managed to solve the problem anyway.
So, if anyone knows something about it I would be happy to hear. Any help would be useful. Thanks in advance!
Best regards

Did u flashed radio ?
I reflashed radio, did task29, flashed hspl, flashed Magldr, flashed stock WM ROM from my PC, then again from sd card and no result. WM ROM works ok but that's it. No Android or WP7 can be flashed. In order to be more specific, here is what I do:
1. HSPL 2.08
2. task29 with Radio 2.15
3. Magldr
4. CWM
And when I try to enter AD Recovery from the Magldr menu I receive the message I mentioned in my first post and there is nothing more to be done but using the phone with WM which in my opinion makes out of my HD2 a piece of crap.

Let mi simple u Task29 and Radio Rom
Task 29 - When u do task 29 to phone u delete everything even radio rom. So the thing u need to do is do this for magldr :
-Task29
-Radio Rom
-Magldr
-CWM
-Wipe
-Flash Rom
-Calibrate battery (some roms do it itself)
If it will make u easier i can make tutorial but im pretty much sure there is milions of them .
Try that way and report if it worked . Its 30min process.
EDIT: HD2 powered by WM is crippled yea. Android is far superiour even withou cam. But let me tell u one thing first thing why i tooked HD2 is Windows by stock and customization possible. Didnt carred about low battery etc. Windows is till now unbeatable bussines platform. iOs is near but its not it. Android hard to get bussines capable like windows 7. What I mean windows is bussines ready,iPhone is kinda ready and on android u have to customize like hell to get everything (at least what I as system admin need)
Task29 does not delete your radio. I was sure of it because I had flashed my phone a lot of times in the past, but anyway, I tried your method and the result was the same. When I install Magldr and then CWM, the phone does not let me enter the CWM menu so I cannot continue with the flashing of the Android ROM itself. It is just not possible without CWM. I also tried cLK method but when I press and hold the home key, the phone restarts and I get to a dead end once again. Thanks for your help anyway.
As far as WM is concerned, there is absolutely no chance for me to use this phone with this OS. if I cannot find a way to manage the problem I will just sell the phone and buy a native Android one which will make things much easier for me.
Best regards
Which rom are u trying to install?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
It is all the same which one because when you are not able to enter the CWM menu you cannot install anything, but for instance, let's say this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264828
I had problems booting that rom too. Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326217 almost perfect. Mwakious has some bugs i w8 for him to fix it
You don't follow what I say. I cannot enter CWM menu so I cannot even start flashing any ROM, it doesn't matter which one it is.
Merry Christmass by the way!
Which windows mobile u have/had ? Can u run android from sd ? Can u tell me exact procedure u tried to install nand android? If u want to try ffaster u can pm me to send u skype or gtalk.
Hi
I have the same issue, in bootloader on ad recovery.. i get cannot read ramdisk image, I will not uninstall ANDROID, because I will no longer support android, if I can not install any other roms
Any other advice, but to not lose my actual ROM!!!!
PS: I had installed ROM Manager latest, and installed clockwork from rom manager, Till then the recovery worked....
Had the same problem yesterday. I used the HD2 Toolkit to repartition, by the way it installs Recovery 5.
Then everything worked fine.

Could you please explain me step by step how exactly you managed to solve the problem. I installed HD2 Toolkit 4.2.0.1 and try to use Update recovery function but the console that opens after I start the process freezes and I cannot continue. There is an explanation in it saying that probably the USB connectin is not good. However I use the USB flasher in Magldr menu for this connection between the phone and the PC and I don't know another way to connect both devices for the installation process. Is there something that I am missing?
By the way The message that I receive now when I try to open CWM changed from "...cannot read ramdisk image" to "...cannot read kernel image". Does it make any difference?
Thanks in advance!
@By the way The message that I receive now when I try to open CWM changed from "...cannot read ramdisk image" to "...cannot read kernel image". Does it make any difference?
For this question I do not know any answer, but for USB Connection I know because I had the same problem:
Put your phone in debugging mode.. and connect it to PC..
Use usbdeview to delete any android drivers from that list..
Then in device manager find any new hardware, and right click, and update: Browse my driver manually> Let me pick my driver> find the driver from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783 find "Download Drivers By T-Macgnolia", and after that you need to find Android Driver installed in device manager, after that hd2 toolkit will work.
Solution
You have to copy the files in the. Zip attachment inside the SD.
Make the whole process as usual, but instead choose the option you choose AD Recovery Boot option AD DS.
This way you can access the recovery menu and load the rom.

Thx a lot!!!
This worked for me- just perfect!!!

Worked for me as well, thanks very much, I was about to see how far the phone could fly.

Hi, and many thanks.
I fixed my error like a charm.
Had the same problem
Thank you, this realy helped me out!
my volume buttens doesnt work at all, i accedently tare them apart when i replaced the digitizer screan.
the phone is still on WM
so in order to flash android i will have to navigate to rd recovery, and then to flash the touch recovey (that is challenge by it self)
so... any one can help me?
How do you have recovery AND WM ? Don't you need MAGLDR or cLK for a recovery? And you can't have those with wm?
in cLK, hold the "Home Button" .. in MAGLDR, I don't think it's possible. (Or is it?)
if i understand the question, the OP is running WM on the hd2, which has defective volume buttons.
because it does not yet have magldr or clk, booting the phone into BOOTLOADER will be necessary to get things going. the preferred way of entering into BOOTLOADER involves powering on the device with volume down pressed.
however, if i remember correctly, starting the CustomRUU on your pc while usb is connected to phone and the phone is fully booted into WM will do the following:
1. reboot into BOOTLOADER
2. flash the contents of the CustomRUU
if i am remembering my hd2 basics correctly, i guess you could flash CLK+TouchRecovery using the package in the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769081
i think that package contains ONLY the contents to be flashed, so you will need the rest of the files of CustomRUU beforehand (the EXE file, etc, etc).
you don't mention if your device has HSPL or not. i seem to have forgotten the steps for installing HSPL but if ANY step REQUIRES (no alternative) booting into BOOTLOADER manually, then you will be stuck with no way forward!
also, i think once you get CLK+TouchRecovery+Android flashed to your NAND, then i think CustomRUU won't work with regards to Point 1 (mentioned above). so you might have trouble executing most use cases of HD2 Toolkit.
finally, i think the partitioning steps using CLK+TouchRecovery will REQUIRE use of the volume keys, because partitioning is done inside CLK using the CLK menus which work with volume keys only! so you might be limited to android ROMs that fit into the DEFAULT CLK partitioning! :crying:
get the buttons fixed and you and i won't have to wrack our brains so much! good luck!

@OP, be REALLY careful before you dive straight in, because unless its a winmo rom or a radio, doing this will mean there is NO way for you to get into bootloader, since there wont be any winmo installed any more.
So, there probably is a way to do it and end up with a successful install, but you have to be REALLY sure of the steps, and do it all in one go, , you wont get a second chance.
if the phone isnt on 3.14 winmo, or a tmous, then the first thing you need to do is switch radio before you lose winmo, since it must be flashed from bootloader, meaning you need to get into bootloader at least twice. Do 2.08.hspl first, then the radio, and only then consider removing winmo.
I say again, be really carefull and absolutely sure of what steps you take.

TOTALLY agreed! i tried to write my post to highlight all the numerous possible pitfalls, but i might have made it sound like a series of easy steps. things quite often DO go wrong, and i will also reiterate that you just might get stuck due to a minor mistake.
i guess what we are all trying to tell the OP is it is better to be safe than sorry. you presently have a working hd2 (with WM) and it is indeed too risky to proceed to switching to android with dead volume buttons. so better to get them fixed first and then you won't have to worry about laying down a plan that could be as complex as a long term chess game!
Sorry for misguiding you guygs. The phone already have HSPL and maglr 1.13 and even runing andrdoid.
From that point, how can i flash the touch recovery?

I would recommend that u dont flash the stock rom again until u know how many bad blocks u have. I have 5 bad blocks, I regret changing my partion sizes ( windows mobile and windows phone os change size during installation) Just tell him that is can get messed up and just search on youtube for videos of hd2 with wm.
'sup guys
I'm attempting to give this HD2 another chance (my dad dumped it for something else, claiming the battery's bad, I fixed that in the mean time) and wish to run android on it.
These forums being great resources for information, I pretty much started right away. But yeah I've gotten myself into a little problem here...
I've lost USB connectivity (won't even show up in the bootloader, 'Serial' is there to stay) after flashing a new radio with CustomRUU.
Device: HTC HD2 (LEO512) - WP 6.5
HSPL: 2.08.HSPL
Radio: Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 (well, not sure if that even worked out well, I was trying to get that installed. The radio version on boot didn't change to 2.15...)
was planning to:
Bootloader: MAGLDR v1.13
Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6
NexusHD2 JB 4.1.2 -> NAND installation
checks done:
usb cable: works fine, phone still charges and the LED still turns on (green)
tried connecting to another computer, but no drivers were found to use the device. There was also a mention of 'Generic RNDIS'
I've tried rebooting, didn't help (didn't expect it to)
lost connection with the WP device center during changes made by customRUU.
have I looked around on the forums? Yeah, quite a lot, but the words 'no connectivity USB bootloader no recognition' in any kind of sentence resulted in the 'project' threads for the radios and flashing services being on top of the results every single time...
factory resetting didn't solve anything
feeling where it went wrong: RUU told me I had an outdated rom (3.whateverblabla), what kind of rom? No idea, but I thought I'd let it update, but I now regret doing that since something might be in bad shape.
Connectivity was lost after the rom update. I could still use WP6.5 if there isn't a fix (no problem running it/booting/...), but I'd love to get android running on this device!
~EDIT: I believe I forgot to go into bootloader when running RUU... :/
Would be really great to hear from you! I haven't looked into the possibilities with SD's, but I've got a 1Gb microSD if you want to fix stuff by using an SD. Thanks in advance
ps: if there's a way to undo the current 'extra' non-WP installations, like a simple reset, that's just fine. I'd rather start over again anyway (;
