hello,i have a t-mobile HD2 that cannot boot any android rom(SD or NAND)so my guess is that my bad blocks don't let my phone boot Android...so here is my question:with A2SD I install the rom to the SD card(which is virtually converted to NAND or something?) or not??if someone finds any solution about my problem i would be grateful

I don't have any clue what your actual question is supposed to mean, but if you can't install SD Android then it isn't anything to do with bad blocks. You need to give more information, such as which type of HD2 you have, what radio it has, do you have HSPL, what steps you've taken so far etc. Nobody can help without sufficient information.

I still don't quite understand what the actual issue is. Do ANY ROMs boot on your phone? The reason I ask is because you later contradict this original statement by saying something about A2SD moving your apps to the SD card.

A2SD does not install the ROM to NAND nor does it install NAND to SD. It install apps to your SD card, apps that you use on your phone.
NAND ROMs are flashed directly to your phone and completely remove Windows.
SD ROMS are ran from your SD card with your Windows still functioning when you want.

Have you installed MAGLDR and partitioned your internal memory by flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery(CWM)?? And Apps2SD doesnt install any rom. Its just used to transfer applications that run on the internal memory to the sd-ext.(partion of sd card)

I have a hd2 too.
magldr 1.13 .... clockwormod 5.0.2.6 ... Nexushd2 ics 4.0.4 - rom... a2SD-Script ...
200mb nand-partition..5mb cache-partition.. 1 gb ext4-partition and 400 mb swap-partition
I installed my rom witht "hd2 toolkit 4.2.0.1", that can be downloaded here on "xda-developers".
With this tookit you can do followed things:
- Start with a "full wipe" called "task 29" (I think this "task 29" is necessary for your hd2, because of your problems and bad issues you are reporting)
- then partition your nand-memory (for first install i recommen 200mb nand an 40 mb cache - after you recognized that it works, you can reduce cashe to 10 or 5 mb)
- install magldr
- install clockworkmod recovery
- install your rom

[Q] CWR

Hi all. Please forgive the noob questions.
Question #1. I was under the impression that CWR is better than DAF because it allows you to have different ROMS on your sd card and thus you can change your ROM as you like. My question is then if I have to task 29 and reformat and repartition my card as the developers request, then how is this possible as I would be wiping my sd card clean everytime I do this.
Question #2. Must I run the DAF(recovery) prior to every change in ROM? Also what is the differecnce between the Recovery and partitioning your card. Again I am not experienced even though I flash all the time.
The reason I ask is that I would like to change ROMS and wonder if I can just go from my cureent ROM, reboot and install from zip a totally different one that I have on my card. Thanks in advance.
you dont have to task29 every time., i have never used task29 and never had any issues with repationing or installing roms
the repartitionining is a pain but thats mainly only if you are going from 1 type to a different type e.g a sense rom to a cm7 or miui rom

Hi,
As Richy99 says ,task 29 is not necessary for every change of ROM.
To simplify matters, ksubedi has developed THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him)

So I can just repartition the card and not have to run Recovery(DAF in the rar)? Then istall from zip? I am going from a sense to MUI.

Hi,
You only need to partition the sd card once.
But the ROM system needs its own partition(CWM).
This partition is dependent on the ROM .
The [OP] should give the size of the partition,depending also on EU or TMOUS phones.
Again,once you know the partition size,use THIS TOOL to make it easy.

Thanks again for helping out. So I would need a comp to always run the recovery. Is it possible from the phone itself or am I just hoping and dreaming? You did clear up one thing for though. That both the card and rom need a partition with the ROM partition being the recovery file (DAF)in the rar.. Thanks.

Flash HSPL2,radio higher than 2.09,MAGLDR 1.13.
NAND:
Flash CWM with correct partition
Then, flash rom by copying it to SD card then selecting install zip from sd card
SD:
Copy to SD card.
Then, go to magldr menu and select the folder where you stored your rom.
Go back and select BOOT AD SD
Hope I helped.......
By the way by HSPL2 he means HSPL2.08. Although I assume that you already have this flashed to NAND memory by the stuff you've said already And to select the SD thing go to (in MAGLDR menu) Services>AD SD Dir>folder with ROM in it.

It runs through MAGLDR, you can't run SD builds from Android or using CLK. You must have WinMo or MAGLDR (WP7 or Android on NAND).

Whichever ROM you're using is extremely old, so it may have even been a known issue of that ROM (although I highly doubt that) but we need more information as Kamerius said. For the mobile network issue, have you checked that the APN settings are correct?
thanks for reply but...
Thanks to all who replied but as I am new I tell you how I proceeded
I installed active sync in my PC then I flash my HTC hd2 with HSPL4
Then I flash radio 2.15.50.14
Then magldr 113
Then android 2.3.2 all by DFT
Problems that I am facing are
When I insert SD card (on top of the phone)-message. Comes SD card safe to remove and when I try to mountt same message appear, and some times it says SD card is busy. But I tried new sd card and same problem appears
Second problem mobile is not sync up with PC.
Thanks please. Help

Well, can you link me to that ROM please? I wasn't aware that there were any ROMs by DFT outside of the Stock Desire one, so I'd like to see it (although it isn't necessary of course).
You're using an extremely old and outdated method of flashing anyway, everything nowadays is flashed via CWM. See this guide and start by using the wipe data thing in MAGLDR, then just skip to flashing CWM with the correct partition sizes etc. It might not necessarily solve your issue, but you might as well do it nonetheless.
Are you trying to insert the SD card after the phone has booted? Just leave it in the phone and turn it on, I don't see any reason it shouldn't work other than if it was a known bug of the ROM or if your SD card is the one with the issues.
I'm confused about your second issue. The OP says that your data connection isn't working (data being mobile network) but the second post says that it's the USB connection to the PC that isn't working? Which one is it? Or are both of them not working?

My suggestion - flash HSPL 2.08 - from what I heard it's much less buggy and I haven't heard anyone having issues with that.

That's fine, it just means it's an EU/International HD2 rather than a TMOUS. The only difference (spec-wise) is that it has 512Mb ROM rather than 1024Mb

HSPL4 means the package which is used to flash HSPL2.08, it's not a SPL version in itself. The highest SPL/HSPL version is 3.03.

Please, just read the guide I posted. Every single version of Android which is in the NAND Development section is 'fully compatible' with the HD2. If you don't do some more reading I refuse to help you, sorry.

There is no 'best ROM', it's all a matter of opinion. I prefer ICS ROMs such as NexusHD2 and IceCreamTosti because of the HWA capabilities, but you may not like them. It varies between each user. If you decide to flash one of these, you can create an EXT partition on your SD card and use the app Link2SD from the Play store to use that partition.

Did you follow the guide I linked fully? Including step number 2 - partition your storage card for a2sd ROMs? If so, then this is an EXT partition which you have created on your SD card with CWM. If you meant repartitioning the NAND with CWM (i.e. in your case flashing a 150Mb partition) then this is NOT on the SD card and isn't an SD EXT. However, since you have stated that the app App2sd works fine, I think you've done everything correctly. Congrats, you now have a fully functional Android HD2.
The ROM you chose (TyphooN) is a very good one, I used it myself as my standard ROM for the whole of 2011 and a bit of 2012 and it was absolutely great, but right now I personally feel that ICS ROMs are better. ICS is simply the latest version of Android (GB is Android 2.3, ICS is Android 4.0) and it's the best version of Android by far. As well as this, ICS ROMs have full Hardware acceleration. This basically means that games and videos will play a LOT faster on ICS than on GB.

[Q] WP7 installation despite NativeSD?

Hi Guys,
currently I have a Miui NativeSD Rom. It means the whole Android Rom is running at my SD Card. My questions is....can I install this WP7 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
with a another SD Card and my current not used NAND memory? I would change sometimes the Roms, between WP7 and Android but when I install WP7 I dont know whether crash my Native SD ROM?? Last question when I execute Task29, will be delete my current Nand ROM, but also Magldr??
Thanks!
hi, check out the links below it might help
& yes Task29 will wipe your NAND of any rom/ reccovery that's in there but leaves radio alone.
Ok if I understand aright, I follow the steps Task 29 / Install Magldr in the Boot Mode from HD2 Toolkit ( is a repartition to 300mb or 445mb recommend? Or can I skip the partition-step?)and then Clear SD MBR and uselast24Nand , execute this dwi from my WP7 Rom and installed WP7 on my NAND After this my Magldr is already there??! If yes I can change my SD Card so where I cand find my Native Files and boot from them??! ^^
OK , to do it. the nativesd roms wont be crashed. it only in ur sd card .

yes, that's what you should do. Card#1 for WP7 and Card#2 for SD or NativeSD.
but wp7 wont boot with the second card in slot. wp7 needs the first card(it formats and locks the card during installation)
