Need some serious hel.

Hi everyone, I'm new to installing Android to the Vogue and I haven't the slightest idea where to start. I've tried multiple times but always seem to mess up with everything. Can anyone give me a step by step tutorial or even make the folders for me so that i can put it in my SD card, let me know and thank you guys for your help. Also if possible and anyone would want to help and make the folders for me I would like an eclair build.

were you planning on running android on NAND (which is where windows mobile is now) or off your sd card.

I was planning on running it off NAND, any suggestions?

Your phone is already unlocked?
Seeing that you have never run Android before you may want to try a few builds on SD card first to see which one you like, and have the flexability to go back to Windows Mobile. A class 6 microSDHC card is pretty comparable to NAND speedwise in my opinion.

would recommend one of the donut builds (plemen, myn). both guys make a fast and stable donut, GPS and bluetooth work great. since I've got a bit of time, here's a step by step with links to take you from a ground zero unlocked vogue to running android on your nand (fastest way, replaces windows mobile). this has been written up a few times before, but today is your lucky day
read the entire set of instructions before getting started.
BEFORE STARTING
1. know that there are multiple ways to flash a rom to your phone. here are a few
a. using windows, get a flashing package from one of the xda devels, and replace the RUU_signed.nbh file in that package with whatever you are trying to flash (try NFSFAN's package, it has always worked well for me for this; some carrier packages don't work), renamed the same way
b. use a 2GB or smaller micro SD card with the .nbh named VOGUIMG.NBH in root, then place the phone in bootloader mode (see #2)
c. use linux and HTCFlasher - don't know much more about this method, find it here
2. if flashing from a computer, I always recommend flashing from the bootloader, NOT through active sync. enter bootloader: hold down power and camera, then press and release reset, wait for the tricolor screen. then connect to usb, and flash away
3. Flashing etiquette: I always flash everything twice, back to back, for good measure. while the phone is flashing, don't move it, don't open programs, don't surf the internet, just leave your phone and computer alone, hands off. and don't flash from a virtual machine; trust me, just don't.
4. Have patience. There are steps that will take minutes to complete. Just wait. If you are not sure is something is happening or if the phone is frozen, put the phone down and go do something else for at least 10 minutes.
GET STARTED
1. unlock your phone (cokeman's unlocker, hardSPL 2.31).
2. flash a "GPS capable shipped rom" from post 1 here. make sure you have working phone, working data, and working GPS (if you are on verizon and have problems getting GPS to work, see here - thx drewden123.
3. upgrade to the bell 3.42.50 radio, find the radio only version here. flash it the same way you flash any other ROM - you can use a rom package to flash it, just rename it to RUU_signed.nbh and replace the one in the package with it, then flash away)
4. download the necessary files. you'll need:
a. a rom in the form of androidinstall.tgz from this forum. a couple of great donut options are myn's and plemen's and plemen's
b. a .nbh found at sourceforge. the sourceforge page contains both stable builds, and the latest betas - don't know what to use? see this thread. choose your resolution based on the recommendations of the chef (the rom builder), also read here.
5. create a folder on the root of your micro sd card called andboot
6. place your androidinstall.tgz file in the andboot folder
7. flash your .nbh file by placing your phone in bootloader mode, and using one of the above flashing methods
8. as soon as the phone reboots (it should vibrate), hold down this button to enter the install menu like your life depended on it until the boot menu pops up
9. in the top half of the boot menu are your booting/file storage settings. for nand, select "sys on nand" and "data on nand" (other options will work too, but for your standard nand install, I would go with this)
10. go down to "1. install system" and click it. at this point it doesn't matter, but on the second screen that pops up go ahead and choose wipe data as well. when swapping between builds in the future, it is recommended to start with a new data file for best results. however, if it is the same class of build (i.e. between two donut builds), keeping your data.img file and simply using the "clear dalvik cache" should keep you running smooth without having to change all of your settings again.
11. wait for the install menu to re-appear. when it does, scroll down to "9. quit" and click it.
12. wait. keep waiting. in fact, step away from your phone. when you come back, turn the screen on, you should see the Donut lock screen!
OTHER NOTES
1. to reflash windows, simply enter bootloader mode, and flash your windows rom
2. buttons in android: see here.

wow thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed, once I get everything going I will let you know, currently I'm running NFSFAN's Final 6.5 ROM, its great and all but I need me some Android. Thanks again for your help and I will keep you posted.

Now you'll just have to post in every thread "please see my signature"

Tatnai, I just want to thank you for your post. I was able to flash myn's build of andriod to nand yesterday after going through maybe five different threads(all with slightly differing methods). After reading your instructions, I am relieved that I did it correctly.
Quick a question just to verify. When I want to reflash to a newer build of andriod in the future, I'd just have to place the correct .nbh file in root, androidinstall.tar file in the andboot folder and hold volume up?

they may be changing around the .nbh file stuff, so this answer is depending on what happens with that, BUT... you shouldn't need to flash a new .nbh to change your system unless you need to change resolution. if you don't, read on.
NOTE: the process is the same whether running on NAND, or on SD card (ext2 or regular sd). Just don't mess with the boxes at the top of the install menu that say where your sys and data are installed.
TO RUN AN UPDATE that someone has provided in their thread for their build:
1. place the androidupdate.tar in the /andboot folder on your sd card
2. reboot your phone, hold this button until you see the install menu
3. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "Install update". click yes on the popup menu that notifies you that this will adjust the system files.
4. wait. it will eventually finish and kick you back to the install menu
5. go to "quit" and click it.
TO CHANGE FROM ONE ROM TO ANOTHER (same class, i.e. donut to donut)
Note: if you have a data.img, you technically should be able to keep it while moving between ROMs of the same class (i.e. donut rom to a donut rom, or eclair to eclair rom). just make sure to clear the dalvik cache before the new one boots up. however, if there are any problems, the first thing you should then do is wipe your existing data.img using the install menu and the boot your new system allowing it to create a fresh one.
1. place the new ROM file (androidinstall.tgz) into the /andboot folder on the root of your sd card, overwriting any previous install file that was there before
2. reboot your phone, hold this button until you see the install menu
3. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "backup /data", then select "yes" to overwrite old backups (btw, you can rename any databackup.img in the /andboot folder to anything you want to keep multiple backups; when you want to revert to a particular data.img backup, just rename it to databackup.img before going to the install menu). this will give you a backup of your current data just in case something goes wrong. it will take a while to complete, and eventually take you back to the install menu.
4. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "clear dalvik cache". allow this to run, it will return you to the install menu when complete.
5. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "Install system". click "yes" on the popup menu that notifies you that this will overwrite the system files. a second popup will open asking if you want to wipe your /data, select "no" for this to keep your current data file. once it installs, you will be returned to the install menu.
6. select "quit" from the bottom of the menu. this should boot android. first boot after clearing the dalvik cache, installing a new system, or wiping a data.img will take a while, just be patient
TO CHANGE FROM ONE ROM TO ANOTHER (different class, i.e. donut to eclair, or cupcake to donut)
Note: I would not recommend keeping your data.img while switching between different versions of android.
1. place the new ROM file (androidinstall.tgz) into the /andboot folder on the root of your sd card, overwriting any previous install file that was there before
2. reboot your phone, hold down this button until you see the install menu
3. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "backup /data", click ok to overwrite old backups (btw, you can rename any databackup.img in the /andboot folder to anything you want to keep multiple backups; when you want to revert to a particular data.img backup, just rename it to databackup.img before going to the install menu). this will give you a backup of your current data for future use, i.e. if you decide to return back to that version of android. it will take a while to complete, and eventually take you back to the install menu.
4. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "Install system". click "yes" on the popup menu that notifies you that this will overwrite the system files. a second popup will open asking if you want to wipe your /data, select "yes" to delete the current data file. once it installs, you will be returned to the install menu.
6. select "quit" from the bottom of the menu. this should boot android. first boot after clearing the dalvik cache, installing a new system, or wiping a data.img will take a while, just be patient.

Thanks again for the information. I and I'm sure others appreciate it. I hope your FAQ thread will get stickied.

I keep get an error when I am trying to install from NAND, it says Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt, anyone have any clues?? I am trying to install SenseHERO 1.4 and I am using the NAND kit posted with the UpdateROM utility. Any suggestions?

Fix mini FC issues/wifi not working​Stuck at android screen or cm7 loading screen? try this:
At clockworkmod (option 8) wipe cache, factory reset, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik chache and battery stats, if it doesnt work, try to reinstall everything. (sometimes, just reinstalling the rom works) + MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RIGHT CLOCKWORKMOD, IF NOT YOU HD2 WILL BE STUCK AT ANDROID SCREEN,,,,,,, if you dont have the right radio, it will be stuck at htc screen.
If you get : nand kernel open failed, make sure you are trying to install a MAGLDR rom and not a CLK ROM
If your wifi is not working, do a task29, then wipe cache/data/dalvik cache from cwm. Then reinstall the rom.
to fix wifi issue, try wiping cache and dalvik cache, flash the kernel and fix permissions. You can also try to replace the wpa_suppliciant from your rom.

Fix robotic voice issue:​1. First solution, disable “Audible touch tones” from the “Sound Settings” menu(just uncheck the box) and reboot your phone. (Note: Disable it right after you flash a new ROM and reboot, that way your phone system will remember it.) So, no more Robo Voice for you.
2. Second solution, while you experienced the Robotic-Voice call, enable the loud speaker, and disable it. You will have no more Robotic-Voice until your next boot.

Radio Install is not needed Task29 does not remove your Radio,SPL,or Splash Screen.

Maybe you can also explain how dalvic and other caches do work in magldr?
Seems the OP's love the CWM and are developing more and more that way.

P.S.: I've already configured the gps.config for my location (Brazil) and the GPS is finding the satellites very fast but the it make the phone crashes very often

Hi, great thread! Thanks for the info.
I have a question about the SD-card. Is it necessary to format the card before installing a ROM? And if so what format (FAT32 or..)?

happened to me to, but i changed my rom, it's not happening anymore something in the rom you are using may cause your phone crash when you use your gps. Maybe you should ask the chef of the rom if the issue is familiar, and if it is a fix for it ?

Hello Android user
First off all, sorry to bother you with this problem but I already used Google and the searchengine but I wasn't able to find a solution.
I have the HTC hd2 nand flashed with the newest maglrd version. (I am completely new in this scene)
I had Android 2.3.4 installed when I bought this phone but I wished to have an Android with HTC sense so I downloaded an nand Rom for hd2 but it was no use, I got always those screen freezes (boot loops) , till I took an autoinstaller from dark force team and know I am still messing up with a bad moddet 2.2 rom, could someone write an step by step tutorial for me?
I want to get 2.3.4 again (in the best case with sense)
I found a lot of other tuts but I can't understand the meaning of the steps because I am an noob, a tutorial for dummy would be great, I would really appreciate it !
Thanks a lot for reading my thread.

you must repartition your nand according to the needs of the rom.at first page of android nand thread there is hd2 nand tool kit dowload it. connect your phone to pc-in mgldr menu choose usb flasher-see usb flasher....usb-in toolkit choose appropriate partition sizes then click repartition. in addition if you are an eu hd2 user you should have sd-ext partition for sense roms.ifyou stuck ask again

Thanks Pal, I will try it !
Sounds pretty easy, I will contact you, if I stuck on my effort, but thanks for the
hint
Awesome !

Yeah AOSP roms (CM7, etc) use much smaller partitions than Sense roms. For example with a TMOUS HD2 a AOSP rom like Typhoon uses roughly 130mb system partion wheras a Sense rom use 390-400mb partition. If you do not change this and try to flash a Sense rom then you are essentially running out of space before the rom can be fully installed, ergo the bootloop.
Like the previous poster said, check the first page of each rom you download as they usually tell you what size partition to use. Some will even have a daf.exe file for you to flash the appropriate partion & recovery.
Good luck

Hay guys, thanks for your adives but it was no use, I still get those damn loops,
could anyone give me his instant messanger adress, so he could guide me through the installation.
I am pretty dessperate

In your opening post you say "screen freezes(bootloops)"
Which is it? Freezing or looping? Cos they're two different things.
Looping is often associated with power problems such as a bent battery pin, whilst freezing could be not clearing the data/cache/sdext partition, or overheating, (amongst various others)

Important Notice: If you were given a direct link to this post, edit step #8 and choose a ROM you prefer from the NAND sub-forum and edit step #11 and enter the values you get from the ROM's thread/OP.
HD2 Android NAND for dummies:
1-This tutorial assumes that you have HSPL already installed, your device is connected to your pc and you have the latest drivers, please carry on.
1a- Fully Charge your phone (use external charger, or manage yourself!)
2- Go to ksubedi's Thread and download his HD2 NAND Toolkit (thanks ksubedi!)
3- After Installing it, Power Off your device (HD2) and power on into bootloader mode (Power on while Holding Volume down)
4- After seeing ("Serial" changed to "USB") on your phone, run the toolkit with Administrator rights (default).
5-(Optional) From bottom right corner choose "Wipe (Task29)", go through the steps and when your device reboots go into bootloader again (Volume Down and Power On).
6- Choose from bottom right corner "Install MAGLDR", go through the process and when your phone restarts hold the power button (not the volume!)
7- MAGLDR Screen will appear, Go down (using volume rockers) to Option 5. USB Flasher and wait for it to say "wait USB".
8- Go to Tyween's Thread and download his ROM (Thanks tyween)
**8- Typhoon is a CM7 build not sense (Sense takes more NAND Space and can be somewhat laggy and slow )
9-After Downloading the MAG Build, put the ZIP file on your sd card and put it into your phone.
10- On the toolkit, from the top panel choose "MAGLDR Repartition" and from the left panel choose 150mb system partition and from the bottom set the cache size to 5mb then click on repartition and go through it.
11- Reboot your phone into MAGLDR screen (by holding the Power on button)
11-a (Optional) if you think you may need extra storage for your apps/games, create an ext3 or ext4 partition on your sdcard using Easeus Partition Manager on your PC.
12- Go to Option 8.Android Recovery (Using volume rockers) and hit the Green Button (Dial Button) to go to recovery.
13- A Black screen with orange/blue text will show up (This is recovery) go to "Install Zip from sd card" And then choose the second option then choose your recently downloaded ROM and hit green button, now look at step 13a before confirming, then hit yes.
13a- If you chose to create an ext partition on your sdcard in step 11-a, don't forget to either a-select NAND with DataOnExt when installing the ROM. (If supported by ROM) or b-flash an a2sd script after flashing the ROM immediately.
14-a Now it will begin the flashing process, just wait for it.
14-b when it finish, simply choose "Reboot system now" and let the device boot into Android.
14-c After the device has booted, dont touch your phone but let it initialize for at least 3 minutes before using it.
Is this what you asked for?
Please read the following F.A.Q before sending me any PMs or making a post!
F.A.Q:
Q: What do you mean by drivers in step #1?
A: Read this short post.
Q: In step #1, you say "HSPL". What is that? And how do I install it?
A: Read this.
Q: In step #7 my device never says "wait USB"?
A: Sometimes, it may be connected without "wait USB" appearing. You can try to continue without waiting for it. But if the flashing fails, you need to check your steps.
Q: I cannot find the MAG build for the ROM I want?
A: Recently, they have been combining both cLK and MAGLDR into one zip. If the developer doesn't mention cLK or MAGLDR, it's a universal zip so download it and install it.
Q: When installing the ROM, I was asked to use "PPP or RMNET". Which one do I choose?
A: Choose RMNET. (You can choose PPP, but it drops sometimes).
Q: I did all the steps but I am stuck in a bootloop, what do I do?
A: It could be anything, but mostly bad blocks. Increase the system partition by ~20MB.
Q: The ROM I want to use says "SD-EXT" or "EXT partition" is required. What does that mean?
A: It means step 11a is mandatory for you.

Haha !! it's 2 AM here , 1 hour left before we fast
I'm really glad that I helped you, and there are "simple, easy" tutorials floating everywhere, I dont think another one is essential

too big partition possible? Problems with Pyramid.
RAFdroid works perfect on my HD2 EU. Nand partition is 400.
When I try to install one of the available Pyramid ROMS, they all keep repeating the white/green "quietly brilliant" screen (One time I let it for 2 hours, but no effect). Is this because I did not change the NAND partition? It's bigger than needed. In recovery I allways do factory reset and whipe Dalvik cache.

change your nand partition.because it is much more bigger than the rom wants and this may cause problem.

Changing the NAND partition was the solution. Why do they use such a small partition in NAND, and such a big one on SD. Is the remaining NAND still in use for something?

Could some one of you recommond a android rom with 2.3.x with htc sense

the rom you have chosen doesnt boot without an sd-ext partition.this procedure will erase your sd.so make a backup to pc.this can be done at pc but i try to teach doing it at mgldr.in mgldr menu go to:ad recovery-advanced-partition sd card-2048m(since this rom is big i recommend this)-then 0 as swap(i use 128m to support ram but you shuld know that swap may harm your sd). now put your backup to sd:in mgldr ad recovery-mounts and storage-mount usb storage now your pc will see your sd.

After instaling Task 29 with Radio 2.15.50.14 windows won't run.It say green HTC and don't startup.
Thanks a lot for **** up my phone ...
What i can do ?

download radio '2.15.50', the 'nand toolkit' and 'paranoidandroid' rom from android NAND section. (You can change later, i'm just keeping it simple.)
phone into bootloader (voldown and power)
connect USB
when the word 'serial' changes to 'USB' on phone screen, ,
run hspl4.exe and choose 2.08.hspl NOT 2.08.0000, it MUST be 2.08.hspl ONLY.
when phone reboots, hold voldown to return to bootloader
serial changes to --> USB
install the radio (either run the customRUU.exe that came with teh radio,
OR
in the nand tookit, at the bottom left ''browse|install RUU'' choose browse and find the radio file you downloaded (RUU_Signed.nbh probably) then click install RUU
when phone reboots, quickly hold voldown to return to bootlaoder
when serial --> USB
in the NAND tookit click 'install magldr'
when phone reboots, don't touch it, it will start the magldr menu. if it doesn't,. you probably skipped the radio step.
In the magldr menu choose USB flasher
in the nand toolkit at the top left make sure 'magldr repart' is selected, then below that click the 150 MB
below that type 5 in the cache size box
then in the bottom left click 'repartition'.
when phone reboots let it load the magldr menu,
choose option 8 - AD recovery - this will start clockworkmod
in the clockwork mod menu choose mounts and storage - mount sd card-
copy the paranoid android rom.zip (dont unzip it) to your sd card
(you can also do this through a card reader if you have one)
still in clockwork mod, press end to step back untill you see the 'install zip from sd ', select that, then 'choose zip from sd' , , find where you copied the rom to, select it, sit back, let it install, then choose reboot system now.
done.

zzz i'm newbie,it looks a bit hard....
Can u support me via Team viwer pls? ...ofc if u have time..

If you just read everything carefully you won't have any problems. As samsamuel said you can't get simpler than that and just use SD Android if you don't know what to do.

listen and read this CAREFULLY. In order to install android on your internal memory ie. NAND installation, you have to follow these steps,
1. Install HSPL 2.08
2. Install Radio 2.15
3. Install MAGLDR or clK ( BOOTLOADERS )
4. Install CWM(clockworkmod recovery)
5. Install the Rom via CWM
6. Voila
You can google how to do this. Flashing means installing(if you dont know)
This is a very simple guide which takes you through all the above steps and all files are available for download. READ READ and READ somemore

Sometimes you may run into strange problems when you install the ROM.
Therefore, my recommendation is after installing CWM do:
- Partition your HD2 (using HD2 Tool) 170 Mb (Custom) and 5 Mb Cache
- Copy your ROM to the SD Card (Using USB Mount in CWM)
- Flash your ROM using Choose ZIP from SD Card
- Waitn till it has finished
- FLASH YOUR ROM A SECOND TIME (This may solve written data to Bad Blocks)
- Do not reboot but go to Advanged in CWM and do Error Report
- Copy Recovery.log to your PC Using USB Mount and check this with your favourite Wordprocessor (eg. MS-Word) and look for errors
- if there are errors, try flash again of go back and create a bigger partition (5 Mb Increments will work)
- if OK, then reboot type your SIM/PIN ans leave the phone alone for 5 nimutes at least (all sorts of homekeeping going on)
- Log on using your Google account and after you finish, let the phone finish all synchronisations (may take 10 minutes)
- Then fix your Google Play and start installing apps.

During the partitioning process is when CWM is installed, , partitioning wipes / resets the recovery partition, and loads cwm into it, so partitioning 'after' installing cwm is nonsensical.

I assume what you're essentially pointing out is that you have to select a partition size when installing CWM anyway so you may as well do it right the first time, right? Just wanted to clarify to anyone who was unsure of what this meant.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using XDA

yea. for most users, 'partitioning' and 'installing cwm' are the same step. Certainly for magldr, , , perhaps cLK is a little different, but i suspect anyone that knows how to apply cwm without repartitioning, how-to lists don't apply to. Anyone that needs a list, however, could do without teh confusaion of figuring out how to apply cwm and THEN partition.

[GUIDE] Install MaGLDR 1.13, ClockworkMod Recovery and MIUI ROM for HD2

Hi, I've been having some trubles to find the way to first, update MaGLDR to 1.13, then install ClockworkMod Recovery and finally MIUI ROM. First I googled how to update MaGLDR to 1.13, but I couldn't follow the directions I found on the original thread, I didn't had ActiveSync. So I'm writing this thead so if someone has the same problems as I had, I hope this can help someone. And if you want to install any other ROM, this may be usefull too. I find the ROM installation from Recovery easier and faster then installing it by RUU, but, that's my opinion.
I want to make clear that all the files on this post are not my work, I just uploaded again, so you can find anything you need on this same post. I'll upload the MIUI ROM for HD2 too, I just want to add, that I rather this ROM for HD2 beacause it is very light and fast, but that's just my opinion too.
Before we begin, make sure your HD2 battery is at least 50% charge. So, let's begin.
Updating MaGLDR to 1.13 version
Downloads
MaGLDR v1.13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1553616&stc=1&d=1355196631
As I mentioned it, my problem was to stablish an ActiveSync connection with the PC, so to solve that I've conected my HD2 on boot mode.
1. Connect your HD2 on boot mode(holding volume down key + Power button).
2. Wait for Windows to install drivers
3. Decompress the content of the file above on an empty folder
4. Rigth click on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and select Run as Administrator
5. Click the check box and click next, and repeat
6. Your phone will show a screen saying HTC with a progress bar for a little while, once it finishes it will restart, hold the power button so it shows the MaGLDR menu options, the option AD Recovery should be on the menu, and there you got, you just updated MaGLDR to 1.13 version.
Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
Before you choose which file to download here is an explanation from the original thread.
Q. I dont know which partition size to download
A. Depending on what type of roms you plan on using, you should choose the partition size based on the following.
150MB Partition - For bare roms including CyanogenMod, AOSP, and MiUI
250MB Partition - For Standard sense roms including Desire and EVo based ROMs, can also be used for some squashed HD builds
400MB Partition - For Larger roms including unsquashed Desire HD and Z roms, ROMs REQUIRE data2sd for EU HD2 with 512MB NAND

3. Select install zip from sdcard
4. Select choose zip from sdcard
5. Select the miuiandroid_HD2-2.4.20.zip
6. Select Yes and wait for the installation to end
7. Select reboot system now and wait for your phone to start, the forst time it takes a few minutes and there you got.
This may be a little repetitive, may be you can find some more information on other posts, but this is my first one and I just want to help because I tryed two days to figure out how to flash my HD2 and maybe this post will help someone to don't take that much time on searching. So thanks anyway

Easy WAY
Hey thanks for this guide, it is the most easiest guide on installing ROM's on the HD2.
I have always run into problems when installing ROM , it always some error, because the MAGLDR file or some
other file is the wrong version etc
I have send days trying to find a quick and problematic free and best way to install ROM's on the HD2,
right now I am on my second HD2 and I am trying to install the latest's Miui ROM's on it,
the first HD2 stop working after I flash it the last time with ROM's and the phone keep freezing frequently, and most time I would have to remove
the battery which eventually damage one of the battery connecting pin, I send it to a repair shop and they made a mess of it
now I have it for parts.thank again.....

No problem

Well ... Dear Friend ... I'm Sure you missed Something so lets check This :
1- The Windows Should be XP ( If have 7 You need To install active sync and HTC Drivers To make the "Serial" ( In boot loader ) cange ino "USB")
2- Try HD2Toolkit ( thanks to @ksubedi )To install any Of MAGLDR or CLK
..: Good Luck :..

Maybe I missed about HD2Toolkit, but the steps I wrote, I executed them on Windows 7 and it all worked perfectly several times, and yet indeed you need either the drivers, that I downloaded throught Windows Update, or ActiveSync from the HTC webpage, or you can just google them, but I agree on the fact that Windows XP is better when flashing any device, and HD2Toolkit, if you can get your hands on it, is a very useful set of tools, depending on what you want to do
Thanks a lot Hitman1376

Glad to hear that ...

I installed this MAGLDR (it says aMAGLDR v1.13 at the top), but cannot set AD SD dir, when I go to Services->BootSettings, highlight 3. AD SD Dir and press left button (Green?) it goes straight to MAGLDR home, giveing me no option to choose folder.
Partitions on my SD card:
1. Unallocated - 8MB
2. FAT32 - 17,2GB
3. Ext4 - 1GB
4. Ext4 - 4.1GB
5. Unformatted - 7GB
If I understand right it should see 2 as /sdcard and (after flash of Android) - 3 as /system and 4 as /data?
Forgot setting FAT32 as primary... idiot...
