my volume buttens doesnt work at all, i accedently tare them apart when i replaced the digitizer screan.
the phone is still on WM
so in order to flash android i will have to navigate to rd recovery, and then to flash the touch recovey (that is challenge by it self)
so... any one can help me?
How do you have recovery AND WM ? Don't you need MAGLDR or cLK for a recovery? And you can't have those with wm?
in cLK, hold the "Home Button" .. in MAGLDR, I don't think it's possible. (Or is it?)
if i understand the question, the OP is running WM on the hd2, which has defective volume buttons.
because it does not yet have magldr or clk, booting the phone into BOOTLOADER will be necessary to get things going. the preferred way of entering into BOOTLOADER involves powering on the device with volume down pressed.
however, if i remember correctly, starting the CustomRUU on your pc while usb is connected to phone and the phone is fully booted into WM will do the following:
1. reboot into BOOTLOADER
2. flash the contents of the CustomRUU
if i am remembering my hd2 basics correctly, i guess you could flash CLK+TouchRecovery using the package in the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769081
i think that package contains ONLY the contents to be flashed, so you will need the rest of the files of CustomRUU beforehand (the EXE file, etc, etc).
you don't mention if your device has HSPL or not. i seem to have forgotten the steps for installing HSPL but if ANY step REQUIRES (no alternative) booting into BOOTLOADER manually, then you will be stuck with no way forward!
also, i think once you get CLK+TouchRecovery+Android flashed to your NAND, then i think CustomRUU won't work with regards to Point 1 (mentioned above). so you might have trouble executing most use cases of HD2 Toolkit.
finally, i think the partitioning steps using CLK+TouchRecovery will REQUIRE use of the volume keys, because partitioning is done inside CLK using the CLK menus which work with volume keys only! so you might be limited to android ROMs that fit into the DEFAULT CLK partitioning! :crying:
get the buttons fixed and you and i won't have to wrack our brains so much! good luck!

@OP, be REALLY careful before you dive straight in, because unless its a winmo rom or a radio, doing this will mean there is NO way for you to get into bootloader, since there wont be any winmo installed any more.
So, there probably is a way to do it and end up with a successful install, but you have to be REALLY sure of the steps, and do it all in one go, , you wont get a second chance.
if the phone isnt on 3.14 winmo, or a tmous, then the first thing you need to do is switch radio before you lose winmo, since it must be flashed from bootloader, meaning you need to get into bootloader at least twice. Do 2.08.hspl first, then the radio, and only then consider removing winmo.
I say again, be really carefull and absolutely sure of what steps you take.

TOTALLY agreed! i tried to write my post to highlight all the numerous possible pitfalls, but i might have made it sound like a series of easy steps. things quite often DO go wrong, and i will also reiterate that you just might get stuck due to a minor mistake.
i guess what we are all trying to tell the OP is it is better to be safe than sorry. you presently have a working hd2 (with WM) and it is indeed too risky to proceed to switching to android with dead volume buttons. so better to get them fixed first and then you won't have to worry about laying down a plan that could be as complex as a long term chess game!
Sorry for misguiding you guygs. The phone already have HSPL and maglr 1.13 and even runing andrdoid.
From that point, how can i flash the touch recovery?
This is my brother phone so i just saw the device, he cant tell the difrance between wm and android lol

I would recommend that u dont flash the stock rom again until u know how many bad blocks u have. I have 5 bad blocks, I regret changing my partion sizes ( windows mobile and windows phone os change size during installation) Just tell him that is can get messed up and just search on youtube for videos of hd2 with wm.

I came to this phone solely because there are so many roms to choose from and a lot of development. In the past I have worked flashed dif galaxy s phones, and mytouch 4g so I am not a complete noob.
When i power the phone on these are displayed:
R: 2.10.50 26
G: 15.39..50.07U
D: 2.13.90963 8G
In settings my flash size is 1024mb
I read the guide through and I just want to be 100 percent clear that my phone is capable of something before I flash it. So in short, do I just flash hardspl to phone, then magdlr, then the rom? I have a macbook pro and my windows desktop is old and sucks so I try to avoid using it whenever possible. Once i flash hardspl and magdlr can I use clockwork recovery to flash my rom? I am going for the cm7 nightlies. All help is greatly appreciated!
Yeah that's correct. I don't think there are any osx installers though, so you'd probably have to do all this through bootcamp. I don't have a mac so I don't know about the stability of bootcamp, but you really gotta make sure your computer doesn't crash during the flashing process, especially HSPL.
After having Magldr installed you can either use that to flash, or indeed use clockwork (which I recommend). MDJ's Gingerbread is a great CM7 nightly build.
Thanks for your quick reply! How long does it take to flash hardspl? And do I need to have that activesync thing going with windows mobile? This phone is 100% stock I dont want to back it up so can I just avoid windows mobile active sync and run that program in the noob tut
And one more thing, do I need to check to see if my stock spl is supported? What is everything I need to verify to ensure I will not brick the phone due to flashing the wrong thing? Thanks
Go to the guide, it tells you what you need in there. HSPL takes seconds to install. Once that is installed, it's pretty hard to brick your device. Just be wary when installing a stock rom. Best advice is to read lots.
Good luck.
:edit:
I'm not sure if you need active sync. I'm 99% sure you do, but I may be wrong.

Flashing HardSPL takes about 20s.
A rom takes about 10m. You can also check this link.

and

They explain how it works. Even with video.
good luck!
I'm guessing you have a T-Mobile so watch out! Don't flash an EU-radio.
If you want android your radio is good. No need to change it.
Flashing a rom takes only 3-4 minutes, but it will stop at 96% or 99% for a few secs, so don't freak out
also be sure to flash the newest version of HSPL. and check the youtube vidz, there many around. you don't even have to read, just google youtube+HD2+hspl
The support for this phone is much better than other devices, quick responses thanks! Just to be safe I am trying to find the windows sync thing for the phone. When I am finished flashing hardspl and magdlr do I need to format my sd card to a special way or can I just delete all the stuff on it and put the rom?
I strongly recommend that you first install the official 3.14 firmware, It has the newest radio so you don't have to worry about bricking your phone. After that flash hdspl and you are safe and ready to install magldr and Android.
Depends on the rom, zip, app2sd+, cwm, anything which mentions ext2/3/4, data.img data on sd, all require certain partitions. I would recommend starting with projections rom. It's quick and easy to get started with, and is a good base to get some confidence.

I just installed the hspl and now i am going to do the magdlr. Really I only want cyanogen mod 7 nightlies on here. I am pretty confident its just whenever it is my first time with any phone I like to be 100% clear because they all vary. I didnt get to looking at the installation of cm7 yet but I am sure I will be going to ext4 with it too. What format do sd cards come stock? I just wiped everything on it but im guessing thats not enough lol.
Um confused... I just got around to flashing magldr 1.12 and it said on screen and in guide post it will take ten min, it took no more than 30 sec. It did boot me into the black magldr screen though so i guess its good. Now can flash cm7 or is there other stuff. I am sure I will find out with more reading which i am about to do but I would like to use cwm to do it.

It's just a very wide margin to prevent people from flooding the forums if the flashing takes a little longer than expected, 30 seconds is normal.
Go to the clockwork thread and follow the 7 steps posted, you can then use CWM to flash CM7.
I have been trying to flash with usb flasher and I keep getting an error.
Error Description: USB init failed.
Can I flash cwm from magdlr? Every time I reboot it goes to that.
I see two possible problems here:
- In Magldr, have you picked menu item #4? (Something like USB Flasher). If you can still see all the options on the menu, you have not correctly selected it.
- Your USB drivers are not correctly installed. Reboot computer, power off and unplug phone, replug and restart Magldr. Wait for drivers to correctly install.
I just did what was suggested and same thing. Can I install it a different way? Option number 5 is usb flasher, 4 is mass storage.
My bad, I'm still using an older version of Magldr where it's #4.
What are you flashing by the way, CWM or CM7?
By the way, are you running the flasher as admin? Not sure which OS it is you're bootcamping, but right click on the installer and choose Install as administrator should be an option. Might be the problem!
I am on my desktop pc which is xp so I do not believe i need to run as admin. I was just checking out another post in this forum that has a fix for nand usb init failed, I am lost as to what daf.exe is. It sounds when I figure that out I should be good to go.
And I am trying to install cyanogen mod 7 mdj's version. If I can not get usb thing to work could I install clockwork mod without having to use computer and jsut put a .zip file on sd card?
I just hit run and typed DAF.exe and there isnt one. I am not completely lost lol
DAF.exe is the clockworkmod flasher.
I'm not sure what's going wrong, but just try everything again and make sure you follow the instructions very closely, you're probably just overlooking something somewhere.
Hi everybody! I've been visiting XDA for quite a while but never written anything, but now I got a problem that really annoy me.
My HD2 (International, stock) is really getting some strange software bugs lately. One of the more irritation ones is the unability to shut down the phone. Both holding the key and using "Quick EndKey" results in the same thing thing, it goes black but instead of shutting down it just goes back to the home screen.
What should I do?
I'm no tech guy when it comes to computer, phones etc (they mostly risk flying out of the window when messing with me) so everything "everything for dummies".
Edit: "Quick EndKey" actually worked one time right after I posted, but now it fails again.
Try a hard reset of your HD2. Be warned though this will wipe your HD2 back to factory status so make sure all your pictures, videos, documents, and etc are on your SD card. And use Microsoft My Phone to backup your contacts, tasks, calender, and etc.
To do the hard reset hold both the volume up and down buttons down while powering on your HD2 and when you see the screen with instructions pop up follow the instructions.
Thanks for the answer, I'm thinking of trying to go Android instead of just hard resetting. I'm really trying hard to understand things but even the "simple" guides feels like jungles. I guess this will take the whole night...

Here I will try to make things a little simple for you. Make sure you have radio version 2.08.50.xx or higher before flashing MAGLDR. If you already have a radio higher than this you are good.
1. Flash HSPL 2.08 using HSPL 4, I have a link to it in my sig.
2. Flash MAGLDR 1.13 which I also have linked in my sig.
3. Flash the proper sized CWM for the ROM you want, check the ROM thread for the size partition you need with CWM. I also have a link to CWM in my sig
4. Flash your Android ROM using CWM, here is a guide on how to do that.
Also check out my guide in my sig to lean how to flash HSPL, MAGLDR, and CWM plus it will tell you what all the options do. I also have therow guides on how to install Android linked at the top of my guide.
Wish me tons of of good luck!
I'll probably brick it anyway, but hey, at least it looks pretty on the bookshelf...

Do you have a T-Mobile HD2 or a EU HD2? If it is a T-Mobile HD2 look at the radio warning I have for T-Mobile HD2s close to the end of my guide, it is under the Radio information.
It's a EU one, I'm sure as it's bought in a store here in Sweden and was unlocked from the beginning.

Well if it is a EU then you don't have to worry about flashing the wrong radio as EU HD2s can use any radio. Just make sure when you are flashing anything via bootloader like MAGLDR or cLK you do not let the phone accidently become desconnected from the USB cable while flashing is accuring. This is truecalso if youare flashing a official or custom Wimdows mobile ROM. Make sure your HD2 is properly charged also so it will not shut off while uou are flashing anything. This should help you not to brick your HD2.
Hello, I'm new here and I'm about to buy a HD 2.
I could get one for 100€ but the seller says, that it hangs on htc logo but it is possible to get into the bootloader.
Is there a risk, that it's broken or something similar? Should i ask him something to make sure, if it's broken or not?
Thanks.
There is always a risk with buying second hand goods, the chances are the phone has already been toyed with and flashed to a point where either the wrong spl or hspl was installed for a specific ROM or maybe it they tried to install Android but got it wrong etc, Personally if you have time on your hands to try and rectify it then go for it, But unless you know what you are doing then I wouldn't bother with it.
Thanks, should i ask him, which H/SPL Version is installed?
The seller says, that he got the hd2 from a friend, who tried to flash a rom but it failed and they had no effort to "repair" it.
So do you mean, that there is finally a chance, that the device or/and the NAND is broken?
A friend of my bought a HTC HD2 recently and got flashed Android onto it. The only problem he has is that with Android he gets quite poor batt life. So if you are a heavy user, keep this in mind
Thanks.
The only question is, if the HD2 is broken.
I hoped, that you guys could except that.
Stuck on HTC logo is for example when you install sense rom and choose one of two options about apps on SD. They have done something bad during the install, or bad HSPL. The best way is to download from this forum Windows Mobile rom (no matter which, but best should be stock), flash it in bootloader (PWR+Vol-) via SD card. Then everything is default. And you can start flashing android step by step. It is not easy to break that dev, trust me I have it for 2 months, and it is still alive For a smartphone it is long for me I am using Dorimanx rom, and when you don't surf a lot of web, then it is OK for 2 days (battery life). When you use it much, then about 1 day (phone still looks for network, under ground).
Okay these are good news.
But don't you think, that a Tas29 would be better as first?
Oh and do you think, that selling my HTC Blackstone/Touch HD for the HD2 is a good deal?
I think that the system specifications of the Touch HD are not good enough to get sometime a good anroid nand rom. I tried the only nand build yet and I'm not very convinced.
EDIT:I asked the seller, what is displayed on the bootloader screen to get known of the H/SPL version (, right?).
I hopo to get a answer from him very soon.

I have never done Task29 and I have fast and stable rom. I even don't know what is this Just flash stock rom via SD in bootloader. Then during android install and all these HSPLs you can do Task29, but it's not necessary I think.

OK, but that is not important if you will flash windows onto it. It should be 2.08 HSPL for android, on other it doesn't work.
Okay thank you.
So can I finally buy it without risks?
How about prepare a SD card with leoimg.nbh first, then test it immediately when dealing? (If you are not buying it on ebay, i mean you go out and meet the seller, instead of shipping the product to your home)
My guess is it's foobarbed, if easily recovered then it would be done & up & running.
Is it EU or TMOUS version ? It is a big risk but as mentioned above if can physically meet & test device a little could reduce risk.
If a blind sale via eBay forget it unless you can afford the gamble or have use for parts ...
Buying used HD2s listed as fully working is risky enough & anything listed like this is normally scrap hoping for a gambling punter ! ...
Good idea! He is 25 kilometer (15 miles) away from me and it is cash only.
I hope, that he allows me to flash.
A official winmo rom would be the best, right?
How should i proceed? Flashing the rom and then testing if it works? or less?
Where can I get one, which will work with SPL and/or HSPL?
Thanks.
EDIT: @ Mister B: What does foobarbed mean? I'm not that good in english. The HD2 is EU and as above it is cash only so i hope that I can test it.
I don't know what does it mean too. Flash rom (Any WM6.5) but best would be stock, and boot it When it boots ok, then all right. But check Wi-Fi and these stuff if you want Stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
Check if the touch is ok, and battery if is original etc.
Prepare a SDCard with a suitable rom version(ask for the seller which region of that HD2, and download the corresponding rom)
rename the exe to .zip
open the zip file, extract RUU_signed.nbh to the root of your SDCard
rename RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh
When you want to test the phone, insert the sd card, boot into the bootloader, do:
Hold VOL-, press the power button(hold both button)
Now, HD2 should powered up, it should tell you to:
"Press power button to start update image"
Press the power button, then start update
When the update is completed(with NO ERROR), restart the phone and see if the phone turned back to Windows Mobile 6.5 and all function are working.

Thank you. I downloaded the rom for my country and then i extracted ruu_signed.nbh from the .exe file.
Now i need to rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it over to my micro sd card?
Is this right?
EDIT: Thanks hopkinskong. You were faster
Yes, that's right
Tips from me:
1. SD muntn't be partitioned, and must be foramted before copying leoimg.nbh
2. Watch out with time you hold these two buttons, because Vol- cancells update, so holding both, it will choose cancell, and it won't update. So just after the bootloader appears, immediately unpress the buttons.
Yes, thank you
I think, that i know that steps from my touch hd, so it shouldn't be a problem
If it has HSPL installed I would of first tried flashing a custom ROM such as NRGs WM6.5.x builds.
By flashing from SD and using original Rom you will overwrite HSPL & if then ROM is wrong vendor version you will have hassle.
Try keeping HSPL if it has it as can make recovery options less difficult.
"Foobarbed" is slang english, means broken, my bad & your english is very good ...

Hello;
It's been 5 days that i'm reading about this problem, and i didn't find any reliable solution, so i'm posting it here:
I've juste flashed my third HD2 with a new radio (2.15) an android NAND rom (the Nexus HD2 ICS), and since then i can't get into the bootloader mode, i've tried the vol -, the adb reboot bootloader, and nothing works.
i want to access the bootloader to downgrade the radio to the 2.12, and without the connection to usb via activesync, i can't do it. i just can access the MAGLDR menu when it says WPH not installed (i think it's the source of the problem) and then install roms.
So if anyone can help me changing my radio without the bootloader or how to get it back, i'd really appreciate it.
Vol down works perfet on WM6.5 and on android, and i've tested it with the key tester in Recovery mode
No answer?? no one raising the finger?? So basicly there's no solution for my problem!!!
Aaaaah did you change the boot source looks like Its trying to boot windows mobile and you have android installed btw we have no fast boot support in magldr. Change the boot source under services and technically it should work
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA
I restored the boot source to Android from NAND, and it just simply avoids the "WPH not installed" message on Magldr, nothing to do with the bootloader who is still missing... anyway thanks for the tip.
Lol if your bootloader is gone your phone would be bricked!

I don't think your alone because I've read a similar thread a while back but I can't seem to find it again. Basically it was reported to be an issue for many users who had used HSPL4 to flash HSPL or something like that. I did and can still access the bootloader but others have had problems. I don't think it should be something to be too concerned about unless you want to restore back to stock WinMo to send it in for repairs or something or if you want to change bootloader from MAGLDR to cLK. Flashing the radio as you wanted to do can be useful but I doubt there's a significant difference between these. And whenever anyone mentions 'do a Task29 to be safe' it's just BS. Task29ing is unnecessary in most situations but people have simply got into the habit of doing so every time they flash a ROM (which can actually be bad for the phone as it can eventually lead to bad blocks from what I've read) so whenever people ask for help their first response is Task29. Basically, I would say that you shouldn't worry about it too much
Okay, I've flashed phones before, starting from my lg incite to my htc one s, but sometimes the words and acronyms get a little crazy on me. i've never dealt with a beast like the hd2. I'm so intrigued by it, I wanna flash everything on it. But first, I just received it from a friend. It already has froyo on it. I might want to go to jelly bean or even back to wp 6.5, theres just something about the aesthetics of wp 6.5. I guess my question is where do I start? Some pointers and a guide in the right direction will be highly appreciated. I'm used to just putting a rom in my sd memory and using twrp to flash it no brainer. But HSPL is already above my head, clk, say what? So, any help, highly appreciated. Thanks.

First of all, please read the guide in my sig which is an explanation of the terms used for the HD2. It'll make everything you do easier to understand.
If you want to flash Windows Mobile, you just have to enter the bootloader and flash a stock ROM. If you have experience of flashing this shouldn't be difficult at all. Bootloader is just vol down + power, then you flash the stock RUU via USB.
If you want to flash Android, you can check the other guide in my sig. You've already got the required HSPL, Radio and MAGLDR so everything should work fine from here. If your MAGLDR version is less than 1.13 (it will say at the top of the MAGLDR screen) then you'll have to flash a newer version of that first.

muchas gracias. Also, not sure if it makes a difference by now, but I have the tmobile version of the hd2.
Well then in that case when flashing a stock ROM make sure it's for TMOUS. NEVER flash a radio version below 2.08.50 (I think it's that one, tbh you'll be fine if you avoid flashing radios altogether) and if a ROM has multiple downloads (it normally won't any more, but with older ROMs there may be more than one option) make sure to flash the MAGLDR one for TMOUS. In reality you shouldn't have any issues once you understand what everything means, especially if you're an experienced flasher (hehehe) as you claim.

In reality you shouldn't have any issues once you understand what everything means, especially if you're an experienced flasher (hehehe) as you claim.

Okay, I've flashed a few times, but that doesn't mean I know what I'm doing! Lol, but thanks for all the advice. I'm sure I'll have more questions, but for now I'll be set on trying to figure things out. Gah, so many possibilities on this beast! And I just learned what Ubuntu is! And how to pronounce MIUI! Ahh! My One S is gunna be on the backburner, but it's running ParanoidAndroid.
Oh, actually one more question! What do you consider to be the power button on this thing? I thought it would be the end call button, but I'm having issues getting into boot loader. Vol down plus... end call? While powered off? I promise getting into bootloader or recovery is the hardest thing for me!
Hmmm, my friend did say he replaced the digitizer so that's probably the reason why the volume button doesn't work... Maybe I should just get a new one off Craigslist for 140... Or I can take it apart myself and see what the issue is... That's probably why I don't get into bootloader... Know of any other ways to get into boot loader? So far, what I'm seeing is that I need that volume buttom... :/

The power button is the End Button. You don't really need to hold it, you just have to hold the Volume down to get to the bootloader (NOT the recovery), the End button is just to boot up the phone. Good luck.
Oh, and by the way, I'd be happy if you read this quote:

~~~Giving Thanks~~~
Giving thanks is important. It lets people know that their work or answer is appreciated. It is a faster
method of feedback than posting a reply like "Thanks for your answer!" You must have one post to
give thanks, so here is a good place you can do that: The "Say Hi" thread.
You can go do that now and come back and finish here please.
If you use them all every day you are doing it correctly.

Yeah, I'm not getting any results no matter how I press the buttons. But the volume on the phone doesn't work period. Even when the phone is on, there is no sound nor does the volume icon show up when the buttons are pressed. Hmmmm...
