Clockworkmod on SDAndroid Magldr - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi to all.
I've installed Boxmax Android SD Rom named BoxMax Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.4 SD Rom via the Magldr.
I've also downloaded and installed CWM from the market.
I've installed the recovery mode but when i try to reboot the phone using the magldr voice "Boot ad recovery" it says "no boot source".
On my nand i have wp7.
Does anyone knows how can i make recovery mode works?

It doesn't make sense what your're saying.
"......SD Rom named BoxMax Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.4 SD Rom via the Magldr...." and "......On my nand i have wp7......"
That's a mission impossible
Apart from that this post should be raised in "BoxMax Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.4 SD" thread or "HD2 Android Q&A and Genera"l section.

Hi lilchina...glad to see that you allways answer me.
What i wanted to say is that on my phone, which has a dual boot with WP7 (on nand) and android (on SD), i can't use the recovery mode of Clockworkmod because when i'm in android and i select "Reboot in recovery" from CWM menu the phone reboots normally, reaching the MAGLDR screen.
If i select the voice "Boot AD RECovery" the phone says "No boot sources".
What i wanted to know is if it's possible to use recovery mode even if you are using a SD android instead of a Nand one.
Sorry for my previous post, i know it was quite hard to understand but i'm writing my thesis and i'm quite concentrated on it.
Hope this time you can understand my question.
Bye and thanks for your answers.

The HD2 has been able to dual boot WP7 and Android for ages now, so I don't know where you get your info from but you're far behind the times.

No, it isn't possible. Even if you had a NAND ROM, the boot into recovery option wouldn't work as MAGLDR doesn't support that. You cannot use CWM when WP7 is installed.
Also, please post in the correct section in future.

@Willy89
i have a thread "[Q] Can I still Install CWM on WP7/ ICS"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539488
since WP7 takes up NAND already, Both CWM & WP7 cannot occupy the same space (for now). i did flash cwm - it erased WP7.

Just reading through the thread and I think the first problem seen in tthe first post is that the OP is confusing CWM with ROM Manager as you can't get CWM from the market for obvious reasons.
The main being that CWM and other similar recoveries have their own partition. SD Roms don't touch or communicate with the phones ROM at all and have no communication with those partitions. Flashing CWM via Magldr (or via ROM Manager etc. on NAND ROMs) flashes the recovery into the recovery partition on NAND.
On SD builds the apparent partitions are /system and /data (and /cache) and I'm not aware that there is a recovery partition, but I'd imagine that it would be possible to create and utilise one but this isn't the case at the moment and it would be a dirty hack.
And to clear things up reboot to recovery from a running ROM just makes it reboot, but CWM can be booted from Magldr -> Boot AD Recovery but is for use in NAND ROMs only.
Edit. Yea changed RAM to ROM, although forgot to mention the SD RAM ROMs which are another variation.
Been thinking through the logistics of having a recovery, thought perhaps having swappable initrd's would work with one pointing to a recovery.ext4 but this would need to be connected to the others somehow, or having the file within system.ext4 but this is way over my head at the minute and unnecessary as there are easier ways to do CWM operations with SD builds.

Booting into Recovery using "Rom Manager" app, possibe ?

Well duuh. You are running a SD version of an os that you tell to go look for instructions it has in a NAND setup. No you can not get in that mode without a NAND build.
Unfortunately there is no recovery on our devices. It'd be nice to have something like Amon-RA's recovery when NAND arrives. Fingers crossed.
Now we have recovery so it should be possible with ROM Manager but how ?
Ok, I have MAGDLR 1.13 on my HTC HD2 and I have Rom Manager Premium, but if I "boot into recovery" my phone just restarts. It doesn't stop anywhere like other videos I've seen. Can we get some assistance on this thread?
Only works with clk ..with clk you have full rom manager support like on native android devices.

Flash NAND from SD

Hi
Me and i know a lot of you out there have got a big problem on our phone, and broken the usb port. So no flashing ROM from USB sync :S.
I'm hoping that Cedesmith's CLK NAND loader + CWM flashed from an .nbh using the sdcard method will be the solution we are looking for.
Hope some of the great devs out there think of a way for us to flash NAND or even WM7.
Just get the port fixed?!
PS. There is no such thing as "WM7".

Dude once again with fixing the port... If that was an option i would be asking for a .nhg so i could format the phone. I've got MAGLDR installed using the SD card now, and i know about cwm, i want a way to partion the phone from the SD for Android or WP7. If i knew how to do that i would be asking...
Thanks a lot
same here
Hi,
My USB is also broken. This is somehow not covered by warranty. Repairservice wants to charge me for 536€ and Amazon sells the HD2 already for 499€.
I cannot afford a new one nor the repair.
Beeing able to flash everything including HSPL and MAGLDR from SD-Card.
I would be very greatful for that option as the standard software provided from HTC is very disappointing with all the great options for the HD2 out there.
Best Regards,
Joe

Well you're wrong!
There is no "Windows Mobile 7" The OS you are referring to is called "Windows Phone 7" and its a completley new OS and nothing to do with windows mobile, hence it doesnt run any of WM programs.
i have a question in regards to the clockwork mod recovery now on hd2, I have installed magldr1.13 thats fine, i have also flashed the clcokwork recovery as well.
I am totally lost as to how you are supposed to be able to flash rom zips from clockwork instead of nand flashing. I know how to nand flash, and I also know how to use clockwork on regular android o.s systems , but im lost as to what this clockwork recovery works with nand roms and regular zip or z7 roms.
If I flash a regular nand rom like i have, and then get into clockwork and try to install a rom from clockwork it messses up?
Are the cockwork roms for the hd2 specific as in zip format or can you intall a nand rom from clockwork it seems people have merged some nand roms with sd .
Any insight or guide would help.

Yessss. Please make a way to flash new partitions with sdcard. I have a USB port with a broken contact between the mainboard and the USB port that can't be fixed.

About to flash my first NANDroid ROM - want to confirm a couple of things!

Hi all,
After using Android via SD for months, I feel the time has come to make it my full-time OS.
I've chosen this ROM as my first to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528 - Looks like a decent, stable Desire HD (Sense) port.
I've read all the usual n00b threads but due to paranoia and anxiety want to just confirm I'm about to do everything right before the big flash...
This rom uses ext3 data (like a fake 1gb internal memory) so I've partitioned my SD card as per instructions in the thread.
My main concern is flashing MAGLDR, i.e. "you need to flash MAGDLR 1.13 and the 400mb Recovery"
From what I gather, I download "-Download v1.3 400MB-" from this thread and run the update utility via USB like flashing any (WM) ROM. Is it best to Task29 before this and do it from the bootloader? Do I need to flash anything else before-hand? What's the difference between the magldr 1.13 and magldr 1.13 with 400mb recovery that I'm told to use in the ROM thread? Do I need to flash one before the other?
After this is on my phone it looks simple enough to flash the rom via the SD card inside MAGLDR's options and finish the job.
I've got the correct radio, etc. So all I'm really asking for is confirmation on how to get MAGLDR on my phone.
Sorry for the seemingly stupid question(s) but I have indeed read through the threads but just want to be sure!
Thanks!
The 400MB recovery is not MAGLDR - it's Clockworkmod recovery with a specific 400MB flash layout.
Task 29 is optional, but recommended. Then boot to bootloader, flash your radio of choice, flash MAGLDR, flash Clockworkmod, and finally flash your chosen NAND build from within Clockworkmod, which is accessed from the MAGLDR menu. There's not too much that can go wrong if you read all the tutorials, and everything in the OP for your chosen build.
Best of luck!

theyre the same thing, , , magldr will work with any recovery size, and depending on the rom size you choose, depends how big you want the partition to be. You have a big rom, so use 400, i have a light rom, so i use the 150. the magldr is the same, the only difference is two numbers in a text file that set the size of the partition during flashing.

Yeah. Basically run Task29 (format the NAND) if you want to. Then after that run the RomUpdateUtility to flash MAGLDR 1.13 via HSPL then once you're inside of MAGLDR (hold power button while powering on) and flash the 400mb Clockwork Recovery image via the .daf file found in your Clockwork download folder from USB Flasher in MAGLDR. That'll flash CWR, then reboot to MAGLDR again and chose 'AD Recovery'. Then you're in Clockwork and free to do whatever you want.
Much thanks guys - this'll be tomorrow's lunchtime project! Trust XDA to fill me with confidence

Problem installing CWM

Hello,
a month before i flashed my HTC HD2 to a DFT Froyo 2.2 Sense ROM.
Softwareversions as i undestand them are the following
Magldr 1.13
Android 2.2
Baseband 15.38.50.07U_2.10.50.19_2
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
BuildNo 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys
SoftwareNo. 2.29.405.5
Browser Webkit 3.1
I found the information to do this around in the internet. Knowing about XDA i decided to flash my Desire HD to Revolution HD. After having done the flash i found a lot more stuff around XDA and decided to flash my HD2 again to a newer mod.
Having bought CWM i thought it would be easy to flash the HD2 to another mod, but after installing ROM-Manager i wasn't and still am not able to install CWM. From the info shown in german, i would translate the following german text:"Bei der Ausführung von privilegierten Kommandos ist ein Fehler aufgetreten!" to "An error happened on execution of privilegised commands"
And now i'm stuck on this and don't know what to do. Afaik i would estimate this being a fault of SU which was installed with the ROM, but i really don't know it.
i would appreciate any help or hint.
Thx
Kai
Hi,
Unfortunately, ROM manager does not work with magldr...
If you want to use it ,you need to install cLK.Have a look at my sig...guide number 2
Did you buy CWM?("Having bought CWM i thought it would be easy to flash the HD2 to another mod,")
Should not have to pay for it.

No, you don't have to switch, the only difference is you manually enter cwm rather than the phone automatically entering cwm for you. just don't use rom manager. Read the cwm thread, in android nand development thread all info is there including free download links.( I'd be REALLY unhappy at whoever sold you cwm!, and in fact isn't it released under a freeware license? Making resale illegal?)

There is a free and paid version of ROM Manager in the Android market. The free version works good, but the paid version has added benefits of course, like installing from QR code, checjking for OTA ROM updates, aqnd more avaliable ROM downloads.

Hm. liking the way it works on Desire HD, is there a reason not to switch to clk and stay with magldr?
I would like to play with the HD2 as much as possible, so it would be really fine, if i was able to switch between roms as easy, as in Desire HD, working with rom-manager and CWM.

Hi,
For me I'm using magldr and I find it easy switching between ROMS,because I am used to it.I cannot vouch for clk ,because I have not tried it yet,but I'm told it is much more native to android,therefore more user friendly.
If I were you,stick with magldr for a while,then change to see the difference..

Yeah but with MAGLDR you have to boot into MAGLDR, then into CWM, then select to do a backup, then select to wipe your data your cachje and delvik cache, then go and select to flash your ROM. With cLK you install ROM Manager from the Android market then just open ROM manager and select "Install ROM from SD Card" then pick the ROM from SD card. Then a window opens in ROM Manager and you check the box to :"Backup Existing ROM", "Wipe Data and Cache", and "Wipe Delvik Cache". Then you tap ok and it automatically boots into CWM and executes all the commands then flashes the ROM and reboots the device when it is done flashing the ROM. Remember you did all the set up in Android itself. Plus ROM Manager has like a hole bunch of other options. You seee ROM Manager is a interface for CWM in Android. You can even use ROM manager to flash CWM, I just flashed to CWM version 3.1.0.0 tonight with it, and gues what that is because it told me it was a update avaliable for CWM when I opened ROM Manager. Not to mention the fact you do not have to worry about making CWM the right partition size anymore cuase cLK sets the partition sizes when you flash, it is like auto pilot. But the best of all you can actually turn your HD2 off and charge it using cLK, you don't get that with MAGLDR.

That looked quite strange to me. I had to choose right CWM first, before flashing the ROM. on my Desire HD i'm able to download the ROM with the DHD and afterwards flashing it directly from the SD-Card.
Yes, without using a PC. Dunno if it's possible like that on the LEO using CLK.
Bu i've got a Question about CLK. If using it, is it hard to switch back to a WinMobile ROM?
Switching back to winmo is the same for both magldr and clk,,,, flash your phones correct stock rom.
I can't add anything to the pros and cons of clk, I plain and simply can't get it to instal. I suspect its something left over from when I installed the android sdk and eclipse, followed by wp7 sdk , just can't get the command line to pass commands to the phone (required to initially set up clk)
Next time I clean reinstall my PC I'll try again, but till then magldr for me.(which is fine, I've always preferred doing stuff manually, automation takes the fun out of it for me)

From what I understand cLK sets the partition size when using it so you do not have to. I mean you can flash CWM via ROM Manager and it does not ask you what partition size you want, it just flashes it. Also you can download and flash a ROM just using ROM manager, you never have to touch a computer. Now granted the only ROM I see available right now is Hyperdriod and a Cyanogen Mod ROMs, but I am sure more will become available when more people switch to cLK and can use ROM Manager. Right now when I touch on Download ROM I see this.

Cool stuff (This gives me 2 choices for Superuser one says 2.3.6.1 cd and the other says 2.3.6.1 ef)

[Q] DualBoot android NAND and SD possible?

Hello everybody,
I can't seem to find an answer to this, though it seems to be a rather basic question.
Is it possible to run two different Android roms on one HD2?
I am currently running Hyperdroid cm7 (Clk-version) and would like to try either a MIUI Rom or a beta-ICS SD-Version, anyone know if and how this would be possible?
Thanks in advance, JW
sure is, through magldr, choose boot ad sd to boot to sd android, or boot ad nand to boot to nand. then, in magldr - services, you can set which you preffer to auto boot, or you can set it to always show the magldr menu and let you decide which to boot.
Thanks for the answer, though I'm not sure I'm willing to go back to Magldr, i like being able to charge my phone while its off.
Thank you though
and just how often is your phone off? mine hasnt been off for, oh, 18 months,,,
You are right on that one, but when I was used Magldr I used to be paranoid about my battery dying since I would have to somehow turn my phone on so it can charge (I am not sure if that would even be a problem, but I feel safe now ) - hope you understand what I mean - in my head it kinda makes sense^^
hehe, in teh event of a dead battery, an old usb cable with teh end cut off, red and black wires bared and held to the battery + and - for 60 seconds will give the battery enough juice to start booting and charging starts halfway thru booting.

You are right on that one, but when I was used Magldr I used to be paranoid about my battery dying since I would have to somehow turn my phone on so it can charge (I am not sure if that would even be a problem, but I feel safe now ) - hope you understand what I mean - in my head it kinda makes sense^^

i have been using Magldr only since nov11. everytime my phone out,just plug it it,n it will auto boot.
nwy got a problem here,
i've been using ICS beta on NAND, then tried to install sense on SD.but after bootanimation finish,its not running sense(SD), its running the ICS.
do u guys now whats the problem??
I have been considering dual booting from SD and nand. Is it possible to have it automatically boot from the rom on the SD?

Did you boot into MAGLDR, select AD SD Dir then boot into AD SD? If not, try booting into MAGLDR then selecting boot AD SD, should work

Yes, just go into bootsettings in Services (in MAGLDR) then select AD SD.

I was running WP7 and SD AS for long time and wanted to try NAND but when I tried to boot from SD again it would boot loop NAND boot screen. I flashed WP7 back to NAND and SD works, so I think there is something in the boot partition to allow for SD boot in WP7 build and not in the NAND since most of them use SD-EXT.
I also want to try out ICS, but need easy access to my daily SD (ACA)
I had the same problem. I learned only few Kernels are able to boot SD Builds via Magldr, as described in following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375554
I changed to a different Kernel that actually worked for me. But now I stuck at another problem. I wanted to apply a glitch fix but it seems that broke my SD AD .

War_child,
Which kernel should be changed then, i'm little confused. The NAND or SD. This might be a dead end since I would like to try ICS on NAND instead of WP7
You have to change the Kernel in SD Android

Hmm, so the SD kernel boots fine when WP7 is in NAND but the same kernel doesn't when Android is in NAND. Interesting

I tried 3Dak's R2.9, but I think as I now have to reinstall SD AD I will try hastarin.

Seems like the other Kernels are scanning NAND for Android and only if nothing is found they boot from SD. But I'm no dev so it's just a guess
