[Q] Wiped Clean

Hey,
I recently tried to overwrite windows with gingerbread on my HD2, as I was doing it something went wrong, and basically it didn't install android and it wiped windows, my phone no longer has ANY operation system, what it does have however is MAGLDR 1.13, that's about it, oh I did manage to put HSPL 2.08 too, but that's it.
If you could please help me it would be much appreciated And step by step please, I'm not amazing at this.
Thank you

Go into Magldr and re-flash CWM with the correct partition size for the ROM you want to install, then put the ROM on your sd card and flash it from CWM. As long as you have HSPL and Magldr on your phone, you will be able to install an Android ROM on your phone. Go into the HD2 Android NAND section and there are sticky threads up at the top of the forum with instructions for how to do everything you need.

Use the toolkit in the nand section to add recovery and latest magldr. Then flash rom of your choice from recovery.

[Q] Windows 7 flashing - help

I only update roms about once every year so I always forget how to do it the next time. I have all the radio/HSPL/MAGLDR/cLK stuff installed, I just cant get any roms to install with it. Every rom listing is pretty vague and just says stuff like "instructions: task 29, magldr, clk, GO!" which isnt very helpful.
I've been combing the FAQ's for about 2 hours now and cant find anything useful. They just diverge into endless unrelated procedures for steps that dont even apply to my situation. It also doesnt help that absolutely nothing on this site mentions Windows 7 64bit. Everything keeps talking about ActiveSync and stuff which Win7 doesnt even support.
It seems like every rom package wants you to task 29 (whatever that is), then re-install magldr from scratch (lol wtf? Isnt the entire purpose of magldr to prevent you from having to reflash bootloaders every time???), and then somehow magically push the .zip file to your phone. They dont mention using clockwork to do it, and the zip's dont have any files to install the rom with. It's purely the rom data, so what am I supposed to do here?
I'm staring at a magldr 1.13 screen with no instructions on how to actually get the zip file installing.

How to install CWM on MAGLDR (NOT CLK!)

Maybe this

Never task29 unless your phone has gone mental, its unnecessary and just increases the load on the nand chip, possibly speeding up the onset of bad blocks.
If you already have magldr you can forget activesync, firstly in win7 its now windows mobile device center (wmdc) and secondly "get an activesync connection" really just means "get a USB connection" it isn't referring to activesync the program, but the USB drivers activesync (wmdc) uses to connect the phone, and thirdly because magldr uses the android drivers. (You may need to install the android USB drivers, I think you can use the toolkit for that, or install the android sdk, or install "myphoneexplorer" on the PC, which has the added benefit of allowing sync with outlook if you need that)
Flashing
In magldr select USB flasher, connect USB, on the PC run the nand toolkit, use that to partition to the required size, which also installs clockworkmod ( clockworkrecovery, cwr, cwm, clockwork, recovery) reboot the phone, hold power till magldr appears, select ad recovery, this boots cwm, in cwm. *** select install zip from SD (assuming you already put the zip on the SD card) and follow the prompts.
*** at this step you probably wanna make an ext partition many roms require it, and it will hugely increase available storage since the system will use it as internal storage.,(only need do it once, it will completely wipe the card so backup first) choose advanced, format SD card.
PS, if available, use a 32 bit machine, 64 has been causing issues for years,, mostly it doesn't, but some people simply never get it to work right.

Ok I think I have been confusing CLK with ClockWork recovery given the similarity in the sound of their names. What is CLK?
If I have CWM installed, then am I supposed to download the MAGLDR version of the rom file and use that? Seems kinda strange since I thought magldr files were to use with MAGLDR recovery, not clockwork recovery.

cLK is an alternative to magLDR
yes if you already use magLDR make sure its a mag compatible rom
mag = bootloader (just that) ... CWM is recovery (where you will flash or "install" the. zip/rom files)
you CAN simply flash via magLDR via a DAF.exe, however, its an outdated method and the most current chefs cook their roms to be flashed via CWM as it doesnt require a pc (you simply place the. zip rom file to the root of your sd and its easy as pie)

Magldr and cLK do the same thing, they both use cwm so you flash the roms in the same way,,,, by entering cwm and flashing the zip from SD.
cLK offers more in the way of access to the android terminal from the PC, whilst magldr is much more straightforward. (Also cLK allows charging when the phone is off.)
There are two types of rom, mag and cLK, because they both use slightly different boot partition witchcraft .... (I don't know what why where or how, but that's why there's two types.)

Ohhhhhh, yeah I thought cLK stood for like "clockwork", and that CWM was just the rom loading app that you can download from the market. Magldr runs clockwork recovery which is used to install roms, got it.

HD2 problem with flashing CWM

Hi.
My friend has HTC HD2 and we wanted to flash CWM and new nadroid.
The phone has already HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR 1.13 and radio 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14.
In the phone there is android (Android 2.2, kernel 2.6.32.15 dirty cotulla, software number 2.29.405.5).
phone (in info): HTC Desire A8181
I tried flash CWM 150MB but:
1.) DAF doesn't work for me (error init USB). So I tried andr_install.exe, it worked and phone was connected
, but then it show message:
PARTITION LAYOUT NEW
Do you want to preserve data?
Press POWER to save it
Press GREEN to clear it
Press VOLDOWN to abandon flashing
I tried abandon flashing and I get error (something like can't clear partition)
We want to flash HyperDroid CM7.
So My question is, did I make something wrong?
Must I make repartition of MAGLDR befor flash CWM or CM?
I would to try HD2 NAND toolkit, but I looked, that it use also DAF.

I would try a full wipe (task29) in HD2 Toolkit.

But if it not work, we will have cleaned phone

Can I do this?
Repartition of MAGLDR to 150MB, catch 44MB.
Run CWM from SD card.
Install CWM from SD card to NAND (recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip)?

When you repartition, it installs cwm too.
Use the nand toolkit, put phone into magldr USB flasher, in nand toolkit select tye size you want, clik 'reaprtition' bottom left, hey presto partitions created and cwm installed. If you get connection errors click download drivers. (Alternate means of getting the correct drivers are - install 'myphoneexplorer ((also good cos it syncs with outlook)) or install the android sdk (Google for android USB drivers).
The reason you got the errors trying to flash cwm in post 1 is because the old method used to install your original rom doesn't create a recovery partition, so there's nowhere for cwm to install.

OK I will try it
I have already google drivers (from ADB)+HTC drivers (I have EVO 3D)+I installed windows mobile device center.
But andr_install.exe worked, so I hope that toolkit will work too
Thank you!

Android reflashed!
It worked really well, thank you!

[Q] HD2 stuck at boot: bricked?

Hi,
a friend gave me an HD2 which stopped booting about three months ago, when he tried to install android on it, without really knowing what he was doing.
I have a bit of experience in installing custom roms in some android devices (HTC Vision, Samsung P1000...), but I know nothing about HD2 or any windows phones.
This is what it says after switching on:
tinypic.com/r/2hywdp4/5
This is after switching on with windows key pressed:
tinypic.com/r/29y43fb/5
This is after switching on with volume key pressed:
tinypic.com/r/25i3f9c/5
[sorry I can't create links because I'm new to xda]
Is there a way to go back to a working status?
If I fix it, I'll earn some glory and a free beer.
The final aim would be to install a NAND android rom, preferably CM7 or similar.
Thanks a lot.

Correct me if i'm wrong guys, but this pic :
tinypic.com/r/25i3f9c/5
is the bootloader mod and it says that you have HSPL 2.08
In my opinion, you just have to flash back a windows 6.5 ROM and follow the whole process to get android (Flash MAGLDR, [....] , and flash a CM7 NANDROID Rom using the clockworkmod) refering to the tutorials in the NANDROID section.

Its not bricked. Just restart the process to install Android as jediL pointed out and you should be good to go. Check here for a detailed explanation on how.

Ok the pictures help a lot. From what I see the first picture is what you see when you boot a HD2 that has clk installed for the custom bootloader but does not have as Android ROM in memory to boot. This is the only reason you well ever see clk at all if you just power on a HD2 with clk installed.
The second pictures is clk trying to boot into recovery but is not able to. It probably either has some kind of problem booting the flashed version or it just does not have a custom recovery flashed to it. My bet is it does not have a custom recovery flashed to it. As most people have problems Glasgow.g a recovery after flashing clk if they are not using the HD2 NAND Toolkit.
The third picture is the the stock bootloader of the HD2 and yes it shows you have HSPL 2.08 installed so you are good with HSPL and do not need to flash HSPL 2.08 to your HD2.
Now to get you on to getting Android up and running. Seeing as you already have clk on your HD2 you do not need to flash it. You do need to flash a custom recovery and you can either check out the guide linked in my sig to flash it via fasboot comands manually or you can use the HD2 NAND Toolkit to flash it in a more automatic way, or to be more specific a more noob friendly way. There is a link to the toolkit in the guide linked in my sig.
You need to pick out what Android ROM you want to use and read the first few post by the ROM chef to see what partition size you need to have and use the Toolkit to repartition the NAND memory to that size. Next download the .zip file for the ROM, make sure you get the version that is for clk. Some ROMs have only one version though that works with MAGLDR and clk. Next copy the .zip to the root of your SD card and then power on your HD2 holding down the home button and your recovery will boot up. Then just find the option that says install from SD card and then select the ROM file and flash it.

I installed HD2 NAND Toolkit.
I executed the following operations:
- Wipe (Task29)
- cLK repartition (150mb)
- cLK install recovery
then I rebooted into CWM recovery and installed the HyperDroid rom.
Now I have a fully working CM7-based android phone!
Thanks a lot!

[Q] **** Solved **** Cannot install Nand Roms....

:victory:****** Solved *******
Hi, thank you for all of your help and assistance.
It was all down to selecting the correct partitions (and me getting over enthusiastic in flashing roms and not reading FULLY on how and what partitions are required)
I have used HD2 Nand toolkit, and partitioned MAGLDR, then partitioned SD card within Clockworkmod.
Thank you all again for pointing me in the right direction...
Good Evening All,
I am sorry if this has been covered. I have searched the forums but cannot find an answer.
I have read all the FAQ and How-to's.
I am not an exact newbie, I have owned a HD2 before (about 2 years ago) and could install all sorts of different roms (including NAND)
I have Installed my Radio 2.15.50.14
I have installed HARD SPL 2.08
I have Installed MAGdlr 1.13
I ahve installed clockwork mod recovery 1.3 with 400M
Copied rom to root of SD Nexus HD2 jellybean v1.2 [dataonext]
and I have installed Nexus HD2 jellybean v1.2 [dataonext]
this installed fine,
I then decided to try another,
I downloaded QSEA_JB-MUSIC EDITION_V1 and placed on root of SD,
I booted into Magldr, then into clockwork mod
from here i wipe data, and factory reset,
wipe cache partition
and wiped delvic cache.
Then i install zip from sd card QSEA_JB-MUSIC EDITION_V1
when this is done,
It asks me to reboot,
Then it stays on the boot screen, and the rom does not load.....
I can restore the back up from the original rom install. but whatever rom I install (from Nand rom downloads) none of them install...
Please help...
Matt

1-Why? Use the HD2 NAND Toolkit to partition your system according to the developer.
2- Never reboot directly from the "reboot now" option of amarullz's installer. Instead, uncheck the "reboot now" option, click finish and reboot manually from CWM.
(The reboot option somehow makes your rom not boot, at least that happens to me every time)

Thanks,
I will give it a go!
Have already downloaded toolkit, and just watching the video on how to use...
Matt:fingers-crossed:

So, do I just use Magldr to partition and don't install CWM?
I tried to re-partition with CWM, but lost magldr.....
What am I doing wrong?
Still cannot install NAND rom.
Going to do Task 29 again, where from there??
Thanks for your help and patience...

try the links below, it might help

I don't use magldr, so I am not sure.
But I think you have to "MAGLDR recovery update" first, and then after it finishes you have to "magdlr repartition". Im not sure though.

How do I just install clockwork mod? Without using Magldr?
If I Task29 first,
What's my next step.....?

After Task29 (don't do task29 again) you have to do the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25781675#post25781675 until you see the "recovery" .. from there, dont continue to flashing wp7, just put your rom on your sd and flash it from recovery. (don't forget to thank the the one who made the thread/guide)
Don't forget to NOT use 300mb, but use the one written on your rom's thread.

You can't have CWM without MAGLDR. If you've flashed CWM you shouldn't have lost MAGLDR at all, so I don't know what you did wrong. Task 29s are also almost always useless and unnecessary, if a guide says 'task 29' as the first step then usually you can just skip that part. I find that the best guide is the one in my sig, try it out.
