MAGLDR V1.12 soon! main features: *various bug-fixes *built-in recovery support.
Now I know there's already a post. But what I'm asking for is if someone can write a brief walk through on upgrading...from old versions or clockwork.
Is it a case that you use the DFT flasher with the latest version to take the phone up to 1.12, then run the clockwork mod again? Or will clockwork not be required any more as it says it has built in recovery support?
Thought I'd get this nailed now before hundreds of questions plague the forum!
Step by step.
0. HardSPL should already be installed
1. Download and flash your carriers LATEST SHIPPED OFFICIAL ROM
2. Download and flash latest MAGLDR
3. Use latest MAGLDR to install Nand ROM of choice.
Very simple.

you can actually just flash 1.12 over 1.11 without having to go stock > HSPL first, just know that it will erase your current ROM per Cotulla it repartitions so back up your current ROM. If you're using CWM what you'd do is:
1) go into CWM and backup your ROM
2) Flash MAGLDR 1.12
3) Flash CWM
4) enter CWM and restore your backed up ROM.
If you want to do a "clean" install (recommended by some) then do as dharvey recommends, but I'd throw a task29 in there before flashing stock for that extra "clean" feeling.
edit: after re-reading your post, you have a point on maybe CWM being built into 1.12. If this is the case then you would skip step 3 and go from step 2 to accessing the built in CWM and restoring as in step 4.

Like TheATHEIST says, I don't think flashing a stock WinMo ROM makes a lot of sense here. Just flashing MAGLDR directly after task29 would be more sensible, I'd think.
Like you say, when you flash some Android ROM MAGLDR will repartition and overwrite the contents of your NAND anyway. No need to fill it with unnecessary WinMo stuff first.
Anyone here have a 1.12 beta?
I think there is no need for this thread. Cotulla should have the full instructions on how to upgrade from 1.10 or 1.11 when he has updated his post to the 1.12 build. It is too early to give update instructions for somthing that is yet to be released!

Not quite, I`m afraid. As people have mentioned before, you can just back-up everything then restore those back-ups after upgrading. Really isn`t that hard...

You would have to talk to cotulla for source code, as its closed source. It's only for hd2.

I agree. But I do a mtty- task 28, task 29 first before any new nbh. I also do a task2a but that is a bit much for most here who can't bring it back afterwards. For any interested in undoing task2a-clean let me know - not that hard -really. Damn I hope MAGLDR 1.12 can boot WM6.5 also ! and UBUNTU zImage/rootfs.ext2... Not gonna even mention wp7 although I heard it now has .pvk cracked and is LIVE. As long as bugs fixed be great: but ubuntu, ext2 support for it, and wp6 .nbh rom load from sd would be great. I am using darkstone super-nand with RAM image partition and getting OVER 4000 on QUADRANT with ABSOLUTELTY NO OVERCLOCKING. With over clocking it is crazy. Cant wait for (sorry off topic) super-nand with OC1536-smartass.
Only benefit of flashing stock rom is it does remove hspl and for some reason seems to CLEAN it out - ie: spl, radio, all nand etc. Ive been doing that and task2a AFTER enabling uselast24nand succesfully but had to make MY OWN NBH to get it back and put SPL/HSPL back onto after RSA FAIL = "bricked".
More seriously:
Anyone here know how to make magldr work with zImage and initrd from ubuntu? and mount/shrink/"yaffs" rootfs.ext2 ? maybe using initrd from CLK1.1 .nbh? or even darkstone's initrd and point onward to rootfs?

Yep. But #htc-linux is the only place to go for that but is waste: he is BUSY with two major projects . dont think he reads this but DFT do: mwang etc.
ps: darkstone-superNAND-rules: quadrant over4000 with no Overclocking at all and is Killer!
pps: Ubuntu DOES "boot" on Magldr 1.11 and gets upto keyboard and desktop - then freezes - why is this - note: must be in \linux and magldr pointed to it. It stays ALIVE a LOT longer under darkstone's supernand rom obviously due to something with ram partition? Any idea how to make it work? and keep it fully ALIVE?

Yes. You'll obviously need magldr 1.12, and you will lose Android, but you can flash WP7 directly over it.
I just flashed MAGLDR 1.12 it doesn't seem you need to reinstall android, do i need to reinstall android? Will there be bugs, etc..?

Flashing magldr alone will not do anything to your installed ROM. You don't need to worry about reinstalling Android.

how Can he flash when there is no wp7 rom??
The rom came out last night. Search the Windows Phone 7 forums.
Ever since I flashed to WP7, it doesn't allow me to go back to Winmo 6.5, or any other ROM. It says Invalid ID every time I try to update, or change ROMS.
I'm really a noob so, sorry for the trouble guys, help would really be appreciated.
your easiest way would be through flashing a winmo 6.* rom by SD card.
Just extraxt a rom from htc.com and rename the *.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh and put that on the root of a (preferably clean) SD-card. Boot into bootloader ( reboot + volume down button) and it will ask you wether you want to flash/install rom from sd-card. ...follow instructions and you are back to base.

Well I've alot of ROMS. I also tried to update MAGLDR v1.12 to v1.13 so I can get android up and running.
I also tried to SD card and it never asked me if I wanted to boot from there...
Sometimes I wonder how people get themselves into this kind of situation...
And also, some hints and tips are kind of "incomplete"...
Maybe you´re basically performing the right steps, but if you get the wrong ID error message, this can have a few reasons:
1) Your device is branded - get the correct operator branded stock ROM
2) Your device is localized (Europe, Asia, Australia, US) - get the correct ROM for your area
Since you have HSPL on your device, it is not necessary to flash via SD card to go back to WinMo 6.5. You could actually put your HD2 into the standard bootloader mode, plug it to the PC via USB cable, and flash using the RUU tool you prefer (either stock or custom ROM).
If you want to flash an Android NAND, the procedure is slightly different, but I won´t go into this at this stage...
Help Needed Folks-
My unit is the US T-Mobile HD2.
I had android running fine for a few weeks untill it no longer booted past the 'go,go,go' stage.
Its running SPL-2.08 and was using the Desire HD android build and Magldr 1.10.
After reading on various threads re 'go,go,go fault', i now have flashed Magldr 1.13 and then reflashed the android desire hd build all ok.
Problem is it still wont boot past the 'go,go.go' stage. Ive searched numerous threads and cant get my head around this and am now thinking its perhaps a hardware fault as opposed to software, unless ive overlooked something.
Please, i know im new but ANY help or ideas would be appreciated in trying to revive my 2 week old phone.
Thanx & appreciation in advance
Ps- i posted this in The Lounge which might be unsuitable. Moderator please delete it if reqiured.
flashed the rom again?
If all is in NAND (no data.img on SD) then remove the SD and ty again.
Same issue???
The sd card was not in the ph when i flashed. Would this have been a problem?
ie - should the sd card remain in the ph to flash etc?
Thanks for your time.

Ok, firstly i tried to re-flash it (without sd card) and again the same problem occurs.
The rom used is based on the Desire HD build. Run DAF file as administrator.
In the Magldr 1.13 menu i tried option 8 - AD Recovery and it lists the following:
'No Boot Sources'.
Its got me stumped........Any ideas ?
Do i have to flash a radio for the T-Mobile version, as i never did originally and all was working fine ?

You can't do both. If you flash with Daf, then cwm is useless
No need of SD to flash (with DFT of course!)
If you flash a build with DFT you remove CWM (so it's DFT build OR CWM but not both).
You're build is a big one (HD with Sense I think). Are you sure it doesn't have data on the SD? Or need an ext partition?
Read the first page of the thread of your build to be sure.
Usually it's better to put the SD to start Android on first start as it create some hidden folders (files also maybe).
You better delete/recreate the SD partition (fast format sometime doesn't remove SD corruption).
If this doesn't work. try to redo all (SD partition delete, WM stock flash, MAGLDR flash, Build flash).
It cost nothing to do few task29 (even if I don't knwo which part of the NAND it cleans).

You need to flash the new CWM after flashing MAGLDR 1.13, as CWM is now provided as a raw image that you flash through DAF. Once that is done the AD Recovery option in MAGLDR will work and you will be able to boot into CWM to flash ZIP ROM's.
What I understand is that he's trying to flash a DFT build. So it's useless to flash CWM, it will be removed when he'll flash his build with DFT.
Of course he can also flash CWM and use another build (or maybe the build is provided in the two versions...).
Sorry but I don't know the build you want to use.
Just come to my mind. Maybe the build you download is corrupted.
Apply my previous advices and try with another build (one you have on your laptop and you have used before successfully or a new one you download).
I came across an HD2 with a broken USB port... ie i cannot charge through it or send/receive data through it. I can still use the phone by having a spare battery and an external battery charger
is there a way to install android on this without needing the USB port?
you need usb to install hspl, magldr and recovery....rom can be installed through sdcard...but to get there u need a usb..
changing usb port is easy if you know little bit of soldering and a spare usb head (you can get this in radioshack)...but u should know wat u r doing ...else u might damage the device
If you have HSPL installed, then you are lucky. You can Install cLK 1.5 from SD card with built-in recovery. Download from here.
Yeah, just dl clk1.5, extract the zip, copy the leoimg.nbh file to your sd, startup your mobile, press and hold the vol down key before starting (for ttricolored screen), and let it install clk (tricolored screen shoukd turn automaticly into grey and ask you if you want to install the.nbh file). Cwm comes with clk. And you can change the cwr(clockwork recovery) size via clk perfect ffor broken usb devices

Hi folks, I have a similar situation with a broken usb of a HD2. My radio is 2.05.51.05_2 and the SPL is 1.42.000. I don't have HSPL and I was wondering whether I can install any rom on it (wm6.5 or android). I am new to wm6.5, thus any suggestions would be great!

Unfortunately you can't install NAND Android as you can't install HSPL, however you can run SD Android. Just update to the latest stock ROM 3.14 via your SD card (search for a guide, something to do with downloading the package and renaming one of the files [I think RUU_Signed] to leoimg.nbh and flashing in bootloader). This will give you the required/compatible radio. Then just download an SD build, place it on the root of your SD card and run CLRCAD and HARET.
Thanks so much for the quick reply!
I have already tried this approach with Artemis_v370_0409_WWE rom, but the phone gets stuck at "Loading..." on a gray screen. I also downloaded RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe but as you might guess it was of no use due to the broken usb. Do you have any idea where I can find a stock 3.14 rom that can be installed as a .nbh?
Cheers

Here I think the process is the same, a custom ROM such as Artemis won't work as it requires HSPL
Thanks! The guide provides a link for for an official rom only in the end when stating "So, assuming you have flashed an official ROM over 2.10 via the SD card and you decide you want a custom ROM, follow these simple directions:
(You do not have to have your phone connected to your PC for these steps)
Download the "Official" ROM from here."
Yet, my rom is only 1.48. Should I flash it anyway?

I don't think it matters, but courtesy of mskip's tutorial here you can see that you have to:
- Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash
Thanks big time!!!
Lastly, which rom should I download? I heard some nasty things about bricking your phone by installing 2.08 or >2.10 through the sd method, but I didn't quite understand it...

Neither do I but if you've read about those issues then best not to do that. Basically use any ROM with a .50 Radio (it'll be in the name of the ROM) and you will be able to use SD Android
i dont think so....
Well, in fact, I was able to install wm6.5 v3.14 after I contacted HTC and they told me I need a Czech rom (?! ). After that my radio was 2.15.50.xx and now I am able to boot perfectly any SD Android rom! That's what I call a transformation!
The only problem I encounter is with Skype on every rom - it crashes and the mic works improperly.
Hi guys, i've just won bidding on ebay for a HTC HD2 with stock rom.
I won it for £62 Although there's a catch, the usb slot isn't functioning, so you can't charge the phone via usb or access files via usb. So the owner charges it via an external charger where you have to take the battery out and put it into one of those charger things. I've got one of them too, and it works a charm.
Now the real question is will I be able to put any version of android into the HD2 without access into the phone via usb? So would it perhaps be like the HTC hero where you put a rom into the sd card and flash from thereon? I hope it's like this, because I can't stand windows 6.5
Thanks in advance guys!
You can run SD BUILDS from the android section and use a different phone or a micro usb

As far as I know you cannot flash HSPL 2.08 via the SD card and therefore cannot flash NAND Android (replacing WinMo with Android) but you can run SD android from the SD card. Just update to the latest stock build with radio 2.15.50 then download an SD Android rom, run CLRCAD and HARET and enjoy.

So I can run ICS? from the sd card essentially?
Check if your hd2 has radio 2.15.50.14 or other with a .50 number in it for example 2.12.50.02.you can check it from os or in red small letters in right corner of the screen when phone boots
if it has you can run sd android roms
then power down the phone.Hold volume down and press power.Dont let vol down until you see a tri-color screen.If it says hspl 2.08 or 3.03.cotulla then you can put clk bootloader v1.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114053 and run nand android without the need of usb port
if nothing of these things (no hspl,no radio 2.x.50.x) exist in your phone,you cant run android sd or nand
Dudes, dont give him wrong infos.
Ofc you can install nand roms without your usb connector. Simply use cLK bootloader instead of MAGLDR. But, as alrdy mentioned, you need hspl.
If so, you are able to install cLK from your sd and set up CWM recovery layout size over it. Without PC. Just search for it here in Q&A and forget sd-builds.
I might have some time tomorrow to search the correct link for you.
And clio is right. For further information look here

Therefore nobody gave him incorrect information If you can't flash HSPL via SD card, NAND Android won't work properly. Nobody said you couldn't flash cLK via SD card though
Also, if you don't have a .50 radio you will have to update your stock ROM via SD card. Download the stock ROM for your device and extract it somewhere, find RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to Leoimg.nbh and place it on your SD card. Reboot your phone into bootloader and follow the instructions from there to flash. I've never done this before and this is just off the top of my head from what I can remember reading, so if you need to do this google the process first just in case I missed something
And yes, you can run any ROM off the SD card, from ICS to MIUI to CM7 to Sense.
Guys, there was time in HD2 BEFORE hspl existed

IF you are technically sound and IF you have some patience, look up HD2 goldcard. There were a few common goldcard images somewhere - this is a hit or miss for you as to create a goldcard for your phone, you need the USB of your phone. Since we can't go with that, try the different images - and hope one of them works. Repeat the following steps with different goldcards until one of them clicks or until you run out of them.
Once you have a goldcard in place, look for cLK 1.5 RC1 from Rick_1995. This version of cLK includes clockworkmod. Place the leoimg.nbh file in the root of SD Card, power on the phone with volume down. If all goes well, the leoimg.nbh will flash, which means you will have cLK bootloader with Clockwordmod recovery.
Read up how to create partitions without a PC (and hence without using USB) using cLK 1.5, and you should be good to go.
Important Note: I have never used a gold card to flash cLK 1.5 on my phone. A gold card disables ROM ID checks, and was used in the good ol' days to flash stock HTC ROMs on carrier branded HD2 phones. The same may or may not apply for flashing cLK 1.5, give it a try - this is the only chance of ever getting NAND Android on your phone.
If the goldcard method did not work, see if you can buy another HD2 with the motherboard working (example, screen broken but booting) and replace the motherboard to get a working USB port. Or stick to Android from SD Card, follow @clio94's instructions - just make sure you have .50 radio, or flash a stock rom with a .50 radio using the leoimg.nbh method.

You`re right.For european hd2 model the only stock rom with radio .50 is the latest v3.14 that includes radio 2.15.50.14
so if his hd2 doesnt have hspl and no .50 radio he will find under battery the serial number of his device and then flash from sd card the properly 3.14 rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
and he will be able to run android from sd
