[ROM][WWE][Nov.17.2010] T WM w ANDROID COOKED IN! BlueTopia 1.0.3 by cmylxgo

ANDROID THE EASY WAY v3
My UltraLite ROM with the following Android Built In (Screens in Post 2):
Desire Sense - BlueTopia v1.0.3, by cmylxgo.
FAST, STABLE, COOL as Heck! Thank you cmylxgo for allowing me to cook your fantastic builds into my ROMs. If you like this version of Android, please take the time to thank cmylxgo in his thread.
Booting into Android is controlled by My Android AutoBoot MortScript.​
This ROM is for people who want to run Android on their HD2, but maybe don't know where to start. I've spent many hours getting this all working together and working out the bugs so you don't have to. Just run my AutoFlash file, Wait 20-25 minutes, and you will be running Android on your HD2. No worries about where to copy things, or what Radio works with what ROM.
IT JUST WORKS!!!
(As well as Android CAN work on an HD2)​
The Windows Portion of this ROM is based on latest T-Mobile 3.14 with almost everything removed, and Radio 2.15.50.14. Not really worth booting into WM as it's VERY stripped down, and it's just used to load Haret to get Android going.​
If you want to Flash this ROM, then change the Android build to another, you may, by replacing the Android Folders on your SD Card with your desired Build.​
Please read all below before starting. Warning, this will erase all your data and your current ROM. Please backup your DATA First! You can always flash back to your prefered ROM if you don't want to keep this.​
Watch the Videos or Follow the 7 Steps Below.​
Step 1. Download: Download all files listed here.
a. HardSPL3 Required. If you already have HardSPL3 flashed, you can skip this.​
b. Task29 provided by doloop.zip Required.​
c. AutoFlash SuperSport - BlueTopia 1.0.3 by cmylxgo - Radio - Hasterin Kernel 8.5.1 v3 Required.
Grab All 4 Parts. Sorry so LARGE!! It's the only way to include everything. MediaFire allows Multiple downloads at a time, so if you have a fast Connection, grab all 4 pieces at once. Mirrors at bottom of this post.​
Step 2. Unpack Files: Unzip Task 29 and HardSPL3.​
Step 3. Prepare SD Card: Clean old Android and any Android helper folders OFF SD Card ie: Android, Media, FilesToBeDeleted, etc. Recommended - For best results, backup your card, then re-format FAT32.​
Step 4. Insert SD Card: Be sure your SD Card is re-installed in your HD2 if not already.​
Step 5. HardSPL3: If needed, Flash HardSPL3: Run HSPL3_PKG.exe that you extracted earlier, or be sure you’ve already done it in the past. Follow the instructions found HERE if you don’t know how to install it. This will take about 3 mins.
Step 6. Task29: Run Task29 provided by doloop.exe that you extracted earlier. This should be done before ANY Flash, not only this one. If running Windows Vista or 7, you must Right Click and Run as Administrator. Be sure your phone is connected by USB before running and follow the instructions. It’s just like flashing a ROM. When it reaches 95%, press and HOLD the Volume Down button until it reboots into Bootloader Mode (Red, Green, Blue Screen). This will take about 2 mins.
Step 7. Flash My ROM: Be sure your SD Card is installed in your HD2, then Flash your phone with my ROM. Be sure your phone is connected by USB then enter Bootloader Mode (Red, Green, Blue Screen) by Holding Down the Volume Down button while turning on phone. Run the file "AutoFlash SuperSport - BlueTopia 1.0.3 by cmylxgo - Radio - Hasterin Kernel 8.5.1.part1.exe", the one with My Icon. Follow the Instructions until your phone Reboots. This will take about 9 1/2 mins. Windows will Automatically Reboot a couple more times. Please Wait for Android to start loading. Do NOT touch anything during this step.
Step 8. Wait while Android Starts: Android will now start initializing. You will see the Green hTC logo. Allow Android to set up the Data Space. This takes a LONG time! Be VERY Patient. Up to 10 mins the first time (Mine was 8 mins, Future boots after the first time boot quickly). It will sit on the HTC logo for a LONG time, then blank screen, then final boot. When you see the Slide Down to Unlock Screen, Android is running!!! Complete the Android Setup, then do a final Reboot to finish setting all the programs. To Reboot Android, press and hold the Red Hangup/Power button, then select Reboot, then Select Normal and OK.
That's It, Enjoy!

To Play Larger, Click the Video During Playback to open in YouTube.
TIPS:
To Sync Android with your PC, you can use your Google Account, or HTC Sync. HTC Sync allows Photo and Music Sync along with APP Installations.
If you want to prevent the phone from booting into Android, press cancel when prompted just after phone starts up. It will be in WM on a white screen. You only have 6 seconds before AutoBooting into Android Happens.
To Flash another ROM, enter Bootloader - Hold down the Volume Down button while powering on your phone, then Flash your prefered ROM. You can run another Windows Mobile ROM and keep the Android Build on your SD Card if you prefer. Just flash another ROM, then browse your SD Card to the Android Folder, then run CLRCAD.exe, then haret.exe.
Installation Timing Table:
Start Flash
00:00
WM Flash Complete after
9 Minutes 20 Seconds
2 Reboots - LET THE PHONE DO THIS. DO NOT Manually Reboot your phone.
Moving Android to SD Card. Looks like nothing is happening, but it is. Be SURE to wait for this.
3 Minutes
Reboot to Green hTC - Also let the phone do this. DO NOT Manually Reboot the phone.
Green hTC Turns Off after (Important, This is where the Data File is being created, wait for this)
7 Minutes 30 Seconds
Droid Sound and Blue Logo after
30 Seconds
Android Lock Screen after
1 Minute 30 Seconds
DONE! Unlock and finish setting up accounts, etc... NOW you can Manually Reboot one more time.
This is how long everything takes on My HD2. Your's might be slightly different, but it should be within a minute or two for each step. Different SD Cards MIGHT effect the time taken. If something seems to be too long, give it an additional 1-2 minutes for each step, then try again.

Manilla ROM Upgrade.
This ROM is an upgrade for the ROM posted on the first page. This ROM will replace the ROM on the First post. If you have not flashed the ROM on the first page, you will not get Android with this Upgrade.
What this ROM will do:
This is a Fully Capable Sense ROM with extras included, Swype, IME Keyboard, etc. It's based off the latest T-Mobile v3.14 Release ROM. It does not include the Radio or Android. I HIGHLY recommend using THIS RADIO for use with Android.
You can also use this ROM if you want to run another Android Build. As long as you've installed the Android build into the 'Android' folder on your SD Card and CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe are both in that folder, it will boot as before.
DOWNLOAD NOW
Grab BOTH parts and run the first part. After Flashing this ROM, do a Soft Reset, then wait for it to automatically reboot twice! It's now ready for Android.

This particular build was not up yesterday. It's a new Android Build. If you like what you have, you can stay with it. Check out the Android Build Link above to decide what you want to do.
PS: For anyone who has not already downloaded this, Please wait! I'm uploading an update. Nothing major, so if you've already got it, it's fine. Just differences in how it copies the Android files over to SD and how it boots up. I'll post new links when complete.

i will probably reflash being that there was quite a bit more added to the android rom plus some fixes to things, how often will you be updating yours to keep up with the android rom? sorry for the noob question now but how would i go about reflashing after having ur other one installed, just reformat the sd card fat 32 and do it or do i need to use task 29 again?

Actually, if all you want to do is update the Android Build and you are happy with the Windows Mobile portion, you can just download the new Android Build from cmylxgo's thread and replace it on your SD Card. I recommend reformatting your SD Card, but you can just delete all the old Android folders if you want. Remember, you will loose all your Android settings, etc.
I have heard about a program called Titanium Backup that is supposed to backup/restore programs and settings, but I have not used it yet. Try a search for it if interested. It's also in the Android Marketplace, I believe.
PS: The ROM cooked into My Release today is BlueTopia 1.0.2. cmylxgo released BlackTopia 1.0.3 today. Be sure to get the one you want.

for the android folders that get deleated, in the root menu of the sd card is it just the folder that says android and then all the folders inside of it, or are there other folders in the root of the sd card?

YouTube Installation Video
I just uploaded an HD Quality video to YouTube with Instructions on how to Install this ROM. It's at the bottom of Post #1 or on the YouTube site HERE.
It may be a few minutes before it becomes live, and a couple more before it's HD Quality. I JUST uploaded it.

Definately that folder and everything inside, but there may also be other folders.
On my SD Card, I would delete the Following
.android_secure
.footprints
Android
LOST.DIR
media
rosie_scroll
rssreader
Each build is a little different. Also depends on any apps installed.

What Internet Provider are you with? Im on ATT, and I need to install a patch to get it working correctly... Not sure if it would help you or not. Once you install it, you can't uninstall it. You'd need to load Android again to remove it.
The developer of the Android Build says the patch is for anyone that's not strictly on T-Mobile, so I don't know who all it would help. You can get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820696 attached to the first post at the bottom. It's called Topia.Series.NON-TMOUS.Patch.rar and installation instructions are also on the bottom of first post.

If you are VERY conservative, it will go a day, 8-12 hours. But, the way I use it (Ride it like a Race Horse), I can kill the battery in a couple hours. Lot's of Email, Internet, Youtube, Games, etc... Android is a new toy for me, so I use it hard.

still having a pretty bad issue with the touch screen not working all the timo, have to keep locking and unlocing the phone until it comes back. any thoughts?

The problem i had was that after i did everything i think i interupted the last part of the syncronisation, so when it was in stock mode it didnt boot android. If u will ahve this problem just restart the last part of the instalation(Just run the "AutoFlash SuperSport Android BlueTopia 6" wich has the superman mark =) and dont interupt anything, Let it work and after a while it should boot android , It is working perfectly and is realy nice to have android. It kicks WM6.5 sence ass

It sounds like files didn't finish copying to your SD Card.
After the Flash started, did you tell the phone to reset at any point during setup? The phone will do all the reboots for you until Android Starts. If you reset the phone at the wrong time, it might have prevented all the Android files from copying to your SD Card.
Try flashing again, and don't touch until the Android Lock Screen Appears.

I installed the previous build of this ROM and love it - using the 0.6 version of BlueTopia. I have a few minor issues, but nothing serious. Is there any compelling reason to update to the new Android build? I ask becuase I have all my settings etc and dont really want to start over just for the sake of installing an update.

I think if it's working for you and you are happy, stick with it. The updates are mostly theme updates and fixes for things that don't work. If yours works I'd leave it. 0.6 is still a GREAT build.

touch screen
I'm having same issue with touch screen haven't been able to get mines working for hrs now how are u getting yours to come back
BTW mine is on the lock screen that u have to slide down

I would recommend removing the battery and reboot. See if it clears up. If not, might need to start from Task29.

How to install android on htc hd 2 (q)

Hello,
First of all im new and I im from the Netherlands so my English isnt very good. I know there topics about how to isntall android on htc hd 2, but why is there serieus not 1 normal topic on the internet how to install simple android. Im not joking , they all complicated why isnt there a simple easy step for step guide to install android. Im 1000% sure there easier ways to write a guide. And no im not hating, but for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
Its a really bad guide for beginners how to install android. Step 1 ''download a build of your choise'' isnt that wrong to begin with...?
Dont you need to first what SPL is on your device, 2. how much flash card ram your htc hd 2 is. 3 how to active sync with your mobile.
All those things dont come in the guides.
And im not saying i know it all better but there is not 1 guide without a link to that topic, and then go to that topic, and then link to other topic..
Its so confusing, why is not a guide with: 1 first check this bla bla bla 2. download this file 3. download this file ect. and not with links to other topics.
Anyway now i come to my point because i need some help.
First off all i got active sync connection ( so thats good!)
Then i checked my SPL version: 14200000
And then i check my flash ram : 512mb
Till so far i understand it. I looked some tutorials over the internet, and the one say: first intall radio bla bla, other say install first rom.
But can someone help me in simple steps by typing your own steps what to do now. And then i mean with simple download links and not link to topics.
And the android i want: doesnt matter, it must easy to install and internet must work, i dont need the newest. Mabye i want dual boot if isnt hard
O yea and i want to install in on a 2gb sd card ( IS THAT OK)???
And please dont link me to other tutorials, they all begin with check your flash , nand ect. I dont know what that all is, and yea u can link me to a description of those words but then i still dont understand.
I hope you guys just wanna help. Feel free to ask things to me.
Thanks!
EDIT:
i found a simple reaction of someone:
Basically all you do is;
Download the build you want to use...
Extract the "Android" folder....
Place that on your SD card........
Run "clrcad".... (nothing will happen)
Run "haret".....(goodness will happen)
Wait......
Wait some more.....
Android..................
Each Rom thread contains instructions on setting it up......
Search, Read, Enjoy

Look that already way better then all the other weird topics, but im not sure to follow these steps because the steps dont look that perfect. How can he say only 5 things to do when other topics says 15 things you have to do.?? I dont know if its that easy to install android with those 5 small steps.

Okay so first you need to update your SPL to HSPL 2.08.
I know you said no links to threads or anything but this one is needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
You'll find everything you need to know and what you'll need to flash in that thread.
When you're opening the file and about to flash the HSPL make sure you choose 2.08.HSPL from the drop down menu.
After you have HSPL you need to update your radio.
This is the one everybody uses and it's the most up-to-date and stable.
http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
This is the most up-to-date one that everybody uses. Download that file and extract it then run the RomUpdateUtilty on your PC while your phone is on HSPL 2.08 (volume down then power on).
After that you need to install MAGLDR v1.13. You install this the same way you install the radio.
Scroll down to download the v1.13 version and just click on it.
Once this is installed, while booting, hold the power on button down and you'll go to a black screen with options. Use the volume buttons to go down to .5 USB flasher.
Then from there you can either flash a ROM or flash CWM.
I can't really choose a ROM for you as I don't know... do you know how to partition an SD card to have a FAT32 and Ext3/4 partition?

Ok thank you, but still dont understand.
I need to go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
And then...HSPL2 , HSPL3 HSPL4? or do you mean the : HSPL2_RUN.zip ?
So..
1. Download HSPL2_RUN.zip (
2. Connect mobile to pc with active sync
3.Run the program and then choose .. ? 2.08.HSPL ??
4. Then you download: http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
5. Extract in on your pc.
6. Connect mobile to pc while its on HSLP 2.08 mode
7. then run RomUpdateUtilty
8. then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893618 and download MAGLDR v1.13
9. Connect mobile to pc, run MAGLDR v1.13 while the mobile is on HSLP 2.08 mode
Once its installed and your still on HSLP 2.08 mode what then?
''you'll go to a black screen with options. Use the volume buttons to go down to .5 USB flasher''??
10. Rom install, hows will go that?
And i dont know ''SD card to have a FAT32 and Ext3/4 partition?''
+ its a 2 gb card
I just need a rom: where most of things work: internet + android market
------------
Look this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976992 !! I dont what this happen to me, i need to 100% sure that the way im doing is safe.
Is there anything so far that i missed or didnt do ?

I wrote some things in bold. Do that much where you get to MAGLDR and I'll look for a ROM. I have a stock gingerbread one on my PC but can't upload it. I'll look around for a ROM. Most are gonna say "low internal storage" though.
Here's a clear guide on how to partition your SD card for a Ext3 partition. What the Ext3 partition does is puts all your apps/data in a partition on your SD instead of on your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
Use an Ext3 partition instead of a Ext2 partition though.

Thanks again man! Till my step 9 i understand it all. How the rom ect must go you still must help me out.
Also: I got a 2gb card, is that ok or must ist be 4gb card.
This is very important what i need to know:
''Look this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976992 !! I dont what this happen to me, i need to 100% sure that the way im doing is safe.
Is there anything so far that i missed or didnt do ?''
I dont want to brick my mobile just like that topic starter guy. On my mobile it doesnt have in silver letters T mobile. My ring up and hang up buttons arent colored either.
So thats good.
Are they other things i didnt checked out?

No you won't brick your phone like he did. He flashed the wrong stock ROM which has an incompatible radio for his TMO phone. Us with the European HD2 are lucky, we can flash any radio.
Once you do it the way I said, you shouldn't have any problems.
2GB card is fine, if you don't plan on having tons of music, apps, videos etc.
Also, just make sure when flashing the HSPL you don't choose 2.08.0000. You have to choose 2.08.HSPL.

Ok , you see what i did those easy steps what do when is way easier for someone to follow. But i understand till 9, what then to do.
I only going to start this progress till i 100% understand what to do, i need to know the steps first.

What don't you understand about 9?

You'll see a screen like this when you install magldr and hold the power on button.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

No, i mean i unsterstand it inclusive 9. So i undstand 9.

If you're afraid of bricking your phone or if you don't will to try something on your own, don't flash your phone and do not even comme back to xda again. You're lucky enough that some nice guy is willing to guide you...

Basically after step 9 all you have to do is flash an Android ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929324
There's a big list of all the ROM's available. I'm just looking for one that doesn't involve Clockwork Mod.

So i all have to is step 10 and install a rom. Can u help me to find out a good rom for me, i dont need to be newest. Internet must, android market must work and there must be as much working as it can be.
Can u also how explain me how to install it?
-------------------------
( i just formatted my SD card, with the tutorial you gave me, ) but when i go to Disk 2 where my sd card is. You had to delete something, i had nothing to delete.
Then i clikced on create. Option Primary and Fat ( 2gb card) and clicked OK then Apply. It now says its a FAT sd card. ( SO NOT FAT32..)
Thats all i did, im done now ?
----------------------------
Is this how step 10 must go:
I am then on end of step 9, black screen and click usb flasher. From there>>
10. Ensure "Automatically adjust backlight" is NOT checked (how can i do this when im on the black screen or must i do this before i begin with this all)
11.Visit GameSquare by clicking this link and scroll to the bottom of that page, look for the "Download" link at the bottom. Save the file (currently it is named "HD2Froyo_V2.1.7z") to your computer.
12. Then copy the file i just downloaded on the SD card(root), and unzip it on your sd card
13 Put the sd card in your mobile and for to File Explorer> storagecard>android
14. then click on CLRCAD.exe (it won't respond, but then it's not supposed to, click it anyway), then click haret.exe
And then your done!??
But what does this mean, I cant use windows mobile anymore, and is this steps correct?

You don't need to them steps. That's for booting Android from the SD card.
Use the ROM which Raven_raven linked to, it's a starter and everything works.
That's after you have the black Magldr screen, you go to USB flasher and flash the .exe found in the folder that you downloaded and unzipped.
That's your last step, then you're done.

But i still dont know if my SD card is correct, i use 2gb card. And in the sd tutorial it says i must make it fat, and NOT fat 32.
So is that ok?

With the ROM raven linked to you don't need an Ext3 partition. I think that tutorial is slightly out-dated. You're best off making a FAT32 than a FAT/FAT16.

.. i cant make a fat32 on a 2gb card. Thats says the tutorial u gave me..
But can i start now or can i not start? I got now a Fat 2gb card.

Do you have a Ext3 partition on it too? If you do, you're best off going in to Minitool, right clicking the Ext partition and clicking delete. Then the FAT partition, right click on it and click resize and drag it all the way up. Don't forget to click apply.
Then you're ready. Make sure you download the ROM Raven linked to.

How to REALLY Root and update your 2.2.1 Slide to cyanogen 7 - Noob Edition Summer 11

You have undoubtedly seen lot of Rooting guides for the Mytouch 3G Slide, claiming to root the phone:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_myTouch_Slide:_Full_Update_Guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108316 New way to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999121 Ultra Easy Rooter [dbzfanatic][xologist]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025336 How-To [Root][NewLinks] The myTouch 3GS if you updated to Offical 2.2.1 and lost root
SuperOneClick doesn't work. Nothing works, I've tried them all several times from several different angles. Therer is some sort of NAND lock on the phone, above and beyond typical. Anyways.
None of the aformentioned guides work, so won't waste your time like I did. They are also all written by people who can not communicate well with other human life forms, and they assume you have a CS and/or IS degree, and also assume you have all the software installed on your machine that they have on theirs, and have all the same settings on your phone that you "should" have on yours and they also assume you are doing some "obvious" steps in the middle of their steps that you should know how to do. They won't tell you that, but they do. So here is the REAL definitive step by step guide, with pics, on how to do it. BTW, you don't need a gold card. You don't need to mess with any consol crap. This should take 15-20 minutes max. What we're basically going to be doing is downgrading to 2.1-update1, then rooting, then putting on the Cyanogen Mod, then adding the google apps (which are not included in the cyanogen mod). I've put as many pics as I could and tried to do a step by step that ANYONE can follow.
I was using Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and I think these are the things that you need to have set up, you may not need them but I was trying so many of everything that I don't even know if they are all required, I'm sure I missed some things, but I will keep editing this guide as needed)
*Make sure you have at least 25MB of free space on your phone's internal memory.
*Make sure you've backed everything up you want to (text messages, bookmarks, programs, etc) But the google cloud should keep most your other stuff okay. (email etc) http://tinyurl.com/3b4qp6q
*Turn USB Debugging on your phone. (Settings, applications, development > USB Debugging - check)
*Turn phone to charge mode only when you plug in the USB cable
*PDAnet was running on the PC (This is required it will install the correct driver for step 1, though it's a tethering app and you won't need it for that) - http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
1. Plug in phone and go to device manager from control panel on your computer.
You open the "Android USB Devices" and see what driver it says.
If it says something like "Mytouch Slide 3G"

}
go to Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick
pick this one: "ADB Device Interface" , say okay, etc.
If it does say "ADB Drvice Interface" you're good. Exit out of that.
2. Download "T-Mobile_myTouch_3G_Slide_Software_Update_2.15.531.3.exe" from here http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide/downloads/ (157MB)
3. Go to your temp windows folder. IF you do Start > Search %TEMP% it should pop up. Keep on eye on this folder as you do the next step. (Maybe sort by date modified to help)
4. Double Click the "T-Mobile_myTouch_3G_Slide_Software_Update_2.15.531.3.exe" file and have it extract everything. At the first main screen, just wait there with it open and not installed.
You hopefully should have seen some folders be created in your temp file. There were 2 on mine, like so, check them both out:
When you see the one that looks like this:
and has a folder structure like this:
that's the folder you want to copy. So:
5. Highlight the folder with "ARUWizard.exe" and "rom.zip" in it. Mine had about 74 files in it. Copy it, and copy it to another part of your hard drive, and rename that awful folder, sheesh. (not needed)
6. You can close out of the Rom Update Utility.
7. In that NEW copied folder, delete "rom.zip"
8. Download the ~140 MB "ESPRIMG.zip" from here: http://www.4shared.com/file/OsmF_ZD7/ESPRIMG.html
9. Put it into the folder that we copied out, and rename it from ESPRIMG.zip TO rom.zip
10. Now, while you are in that folder, "ARUWizard.exe" check check, next, etc.
11. This will downgrade your phone from 2.2.1 to 2.1-update1
12. Tada! Good job. Now, go download the lastest Cyanogen firmware ROM here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=espresso
13. Rename the "update-cm-7.X.X-Slide-signed.zip" to "update.zip"
14. While you are doing this, download the lastest Google Apps from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps Mine was called "gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip" and put that on your phone's memory card as well, no renaming needed.
15. Turn off your phone and take out the memory card and put it in your computer (or turn the phone back into a mountable drive) and copy over the update.zip onto the root director of your memory card.
16. Hold "down volume" and "power" which will boot you into a techy looking screen. Ignore any errors, the volume up and down navigates, so go into "Recovery" Mode.
17. Once in the Recovery, you will see a device with a triangle. Press "Volume Up" & the "Power" button.
18. Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset. Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
19. See the option to "apply sdcard:update.zip" ? Do it, with power as confirm. This will put the Cyanogen mod on your phone!
20. Reboot system now. Now, you should boot into Cyanogen 2.3.x! However, you will notice you don't have any of the google apps.
21. So, Now, go into your programs on the phone, and you will see "Rom Manager" a eye with a tophat. Say "Install Rom from SD Card" and pick the "gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip" You may have to fiddle with the plugging in USB/etc to get access to this, you don't have to buy the program, it will do it, but you have to have it set up so you can see the MicroSDcard, etc.
It will reboot your phone and you will now and install all the google apps. The most important one is MARKET, so you can download stuff. It will now go through all the TOS for each google program you said you want. The rest the wizard should navigate you through properly.
Holy hell this was a terribly troubleshooting process which probably took me 20 hours to figure out they were ALL wrong. Big thanks to "Da Maestro" who helped me on Cyanogenmod.
Enjoy!

wait wait wait... so will this method revert the hboot from 1. whatever to the older version and allow S-OFF?!

yeah, I don't even know what you're saying, I'm such the nube. I don't think this deals with the S-On/Off problem though. I saw some other posts that fixed that. This method does nothing to do with that, as far as I know
All I'm saying is I have Cyanogen 7 on my phone and this is how I did it from 2.2.1 stock.

as far as i'm aware of, there's no S-OFF after you upgrade to 2.2.1, so i was thinking if you can check your hboot by powering off your phone and then turn it on by holding down volume down and power button. hboot version should be on the very top of your screen.

Well at least your not alone in that club. Getting the same error, even using a goldcard. I guess back to the drawing board for us at least.

yeah I had that error too,
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/28205-stuck-on-step-8-rooting/
EDIT: To fix it, make sure PDANet it installed and that will install the driver so you can change it from "t-mobile mytouch 3G" to "ADB Device..." It's step 1.

That is one thing I didn't see, although upon checking it,s not there, and I do have the android SDK installed :/
If it helps any I'm on windows 7 ultimate x64 (since the problem seems driver related).
*edit 1* I keep seeing places where it says to check for the ADB interface driver, but nobody seems to know how to actually install said driver, or where it can be found at.
*edit 2* Turns out that PDAnet is what supplies the ADB driver, so as it happens that IS required (and here I thought that was a stupid tethering app)
*Edit 3* So just to make sure I downloaded the software on the posted links just to make sure some of the other versions I had were not incompatable, and still no joy. At this point I've spent a good 6 hours trying to root this phone and growing significantly more annoyed with it. If anyone has any feel free to contact me, I'd really like to get this working.

hey thanks, I'll edit the guide to say it's required.

Same here, went through all of the steps, still keep getting the 140 error.
edit* went all the way through the steps again very thoroughly, still getting the same error 140. Any Ideas?

It was such a complicated process, dealing with all the other guides some part of them may have worked that I missed. Maybe you do indeed need to make a gold card. It didn't work (I think) on one MicroSD card so I changed to another one.
So I guess make a gold card and give it a try. This is the guide I used to make a gold card:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Create_a_Goldcard
Thanks for helping me get this guide correct.
One thing I did have to do is change USB ports and USB cables, as stupid as that is, I know, I know. The ones in my monitor worked but the front ones on my computer didn't work with the ROM update utility, but I think the error code I was getting was 170 or 171 USB disconnect error.

What if you were to save that rom.zip file directly on the SD card, as the update.zip file first? Would that load 2.1? Because the installer wont.
I'm going to try it....
Nope, didn't work.

The gold card would be great if I had a second sd card, guess I will have to go buy one if I want to regain root.

the gold card worked for me just fine after getting my replacement phone on 2.2.1 all i did was back up everything on my sd card make and use the gold card get root and put every thing back on my sd card just fine.

I'm kinda confused why there is gold card discussion here. The method outlined in the first post specifically says that you don't need a gold card. Does this method not work and is that why you are trying gold card stuff?

I don't think should have it running while you root. (I would assume that would just cause problems.) You just need to install it for the usb drivers and make sure it works.

Can't change from WP7 to android

Hey guys, I have been goosechasing all over the internet for the past 6 hours trying to figure out how to fix this issue, but due to the fact that files are taken down here and there, and guides are out dated, I have gotten nowhere. I can't flash the MIUI 2.2.10 rom to my HD2. Here are the steps I've taken:
1. Downloaded MAGLDR 1.13, Stock WinMo 6.5 rom from T-Mobiles website, downloaded all sort of HD2 recoveries, and lastly the MIUI rom
2. Flashed back to WinMo 6.5 through executing the "T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1.exe" which is the stock rom through MAGLDR
3. Was not able to boot into MAGLDR WinMo 6.5 booted up. I held down the Power Button all the way through the boot, nothing. Tried several times, and then I flashed MAGLDR again. This gave me the error: "SD Kernel Open Failed" or something to that effect, but then it booted into MAGLDR. I decided to continue the next step of

Question: Which section you are original from, wm6, android nand,android sd or wp7? Installed wm6 rom correctly!

- Flash Stock WinMo 6.5 build
- Install HSP 2.08
- Task 29 & Radio 2.15.50...
- Install Magldr
- Partition your NAND (with HD2 toolkit or with the DAF.exe included in the recovery files)
- Boot into CWM and install zip from sd card
I missed any mention of HSPL in your previous comments, but the above stated should work just fine.
Remember that you have to rework your sd card, as far as I know WP7 does strange things to the sd card, so you would have to revert that as well.
Never used WP7 on my phone, but I don´t see why the above mentioned procedure shouldn´t work, the links to some of the files needed are in my signature.

When you do get into MAGLDR.
1.) Go to USB flasher and flash the CWM.. (Clockwork Recovery Mod) (you might want to right click DAF.exe and run as administrator)
2.) After reboot the phone should go into MAGLDR and thereafter scroll to option AD recovery and press "call"
3.) You have entered CWM. Now, format your SD card and then mount your SD card.
4.) Copy the MiUI zip file from computer to phone..
5.) Go to install Zip from sd card and install MIUI.
You're done..

I'm not being sarcastic or anything but ...
Why are you posting this in the development forum?
Why are you even posting it in the WP7 section while your question is totally concerning Android? (because you were on WM6.5)
Why were you trying to mount /system or /cache ? you don't have a rom installed yet !
From the CWM menu, select "install zip from sdcard" and choose your MIUI-rom.zip file and select yes, and now it will flash your rom. Make sure you have had the correct partitions set beforehand .

I flashed the rom and everything, but then it just reboots back into CWM everytime, it won't boot into the room, more specifically, it boots into MAGLDR which automatically boots into CWM.

Guys, give the guy a break. He's already admitted that he was wrong.
Back on topic, I recommend using the HD2 toolkit by ksubedi (Thanks to him)
Just follow this guide written by me : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16528026&postcount=7 (Very short and straight-to-the-point with no blabber guide)
Modify step 8 with the rom you are to install as well as step 10 with the required partition size (can be obtained from the thread of your rom).
Good luck.

[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
Downloads

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

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.....

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...
