So I just bought a HD2 last week, after a little trial and error I managed to install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117787 following the guide in the thread.
Every thing is running fine, no bugs, really fast and am really pleased with the phone and rom.
The only thing that I am a little unsure of, is that looking around the forums at other roms and also in the MIUI forums I see a lot of people talking about needing specific cache/partition/swap (not exactly sure which) sizes to run each ROM, in the MIUI forum it says "rom need to be at 150mb for magler/cLK to work right."
But following the guide for the ROM there is no mention of this an I did not do this step, the only thing I did was use CWM to create a EXT and swap (just chose sizes I thought would suffice) to get apps2sd to work once I had installed the rom.
Now I know the ROM runs fine but my question is will it run any better if I created the correct sized cache/partition/swap (whatever the hell it is!!)?
Sorry for sounding such a noob but this phone is a little different from my old hero to install ROMs on
When you flash clockwork mod you can edit the size of the system.
Open the folder of clockwork mod you downloaded and edit flash.cfg file with notepad and change system size to 150M .
That´s it
When you flash clock work mod???
As far as I can tell CWM just runs of my SD card (if I wipe the files off the SD card that are provided with the rom, it doesnt load CWM when I hold the power button then choose the number one option)
This is what I dont get, is CWM supposed to be permanently flashed to the nand as well, like the ROM is? And if it does just run off the SD, then why does it need a certain system size and what does this do?
Okay i think i have to write much now
Okay first you flash magldr (it´s the ´base´)
then you flash Clockwork Mod via USB Flasher option in magldr:
"For MAGLDR 1.13, booting from NAND:
Download the file attached
Download a partition layout incl. recovery from this thread which fits your ROM you want to use best and unzip it into "C:\recovery" for example
Copy over the recovery image file from inside the zip archive into this folder "C:\recovery", delete existing "recovery-raw.img" and rename copied image file to "recovery-raw.img"
Flash the recovery and partition layout using "DAF.exe" as usual and described in the thread of raiderx or the ROM provider
Boot Recovery with menu point "8. AD Recovery"
You're done"
Go here to get it :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987531
Before flashing it edit the flash.cfg file like i described it before ,then flash the .zip ROM..
Thanks for the detailed reply, so I'm gathering that this will install CWM onto my nand, but as I have the ROM running fine and don't really mind that CWM runs from the SD card, are there any benefits to doing this?? And will I lose some storage space on the phone if I do this?
you can use the sd version too
I suggest that when you change your ROM next time ,use the nand version with the right partition .
Hmm, a wierd problem here. I have real difficulty installing Sense roms. I can easily install CM7 roms for example.
With sense roms I either just get stuck on the boot logo for the rom, experience reboot loops while installing or installing it in CWR just hangs at 50%.
I'm using BOYPPC_Sense 3.0 V6 at the moment and have also tried "Android GBLeoR3 | SMOOTHEST HD2 ROM | 2.3.3SENSE2.1 [MUST HAVE][Hieros1.7.2]"
Both of the above just won't install via CWR or just hang at the boot logo. Here's what I've done:
-Task29
-MAGDLR/RADIO
-Flash the CORRECT partition layout for CWR as provided from the rom authors.
-Format SD card in FAT32 and then use Gparted to make a EXT partition/OR use CWR to make the ext partition.
-Copy the ROM to the sd card
-CWR now fails to install the rom it hangs at 50%! argh! To fix this I format the entre SD card as FAT32 which allows the ROM to install. But then I get stuck on the boot logo for around an 1hour before I give up and pull the battery.
I really am stuck. I'm using an EU HD2.
Thanks all.
Your problem is that you're too impatient.
Sense roms are allot bigger then CM7 and also they need to extract/uncompres files and also move data to SD card partition, especially if you use a EU HD2.
The reboots during install and hang at install % are normal on some sense roms.
Format your card and then use CWM to partition it with a 1GB partition and 0 swap and then use HD2 toolbox to flash the needed partition/cache for your ROM and then flash the zip and WAIT.
[edit] just noticed you say its taking 1hour. That isnt normal.
Do as I suggest though, start over.
Task 29.
Install MAGLDR. (Use HD2 Tool)
Repartition to needed partition/cache. (Use HD2 Tool).
Partition SD card, using CWM, set 1GB partition and 0 swap.
Transfer your zip or other needed files and then flash rom and wait.
Urgh, thanks buddy. Looks like you were right. Left it flashing the .ZIP in CWR until it finished rather than thinking it had frozen lol.
All working now. THanks again

I What is "NativeSD"
As the name shows, the SD card now do what native storage do. In other words, we can leave the nand and done almost everthing with one SD card!
II Benifits of NativeSD
1. Common benifits
Don't need to worry about bad blocks in nand, no need to adjust system size。
2. On premise of large storage of SD card
The partition used as native storage can be very large duo to your SD card(<32GB).
Muilt ROMs(wm,wp,androids)
3. On premise of fast SD card
Faster Read/Write speed than NAND ROMs,better。
III Install ROM

Thank you very much!!
Can't boot
I made EXT4 partition, and instaled Magldr, and than instaled WM ROM, and copied EXT4SD recovery (first one on list), extract, and use folder '4EXTRecovery' and paste to SD card root, and now, what to do(?) how to get in recovery mod, or, how to get to Magldr menu? Please help
NativeSD without flashing MAGLDR or cLK?
my background:
I use Android ICS and MIUI on Leo HTC HD2, booting from SD-Card using haret.exe in WM6.5.
I can't flash my device with MAGLDR or cLK, because it's leased and I have to return it back in some time with the original WM6.5.
Now my question:
Can I use native SD instead of "standart SD", because I hope it's faster, wihthout flashing any custom boot loader and destroing the original OS?
If I got it right, flashing a MAGLDR or cLK erases the complete device (except of HSPL and radio), right?
The only thing I dared to do before, was to flash the HSPL and a Radio Update, because this didn't touched the WM6.5.
I came so far to create a EXT4 and a FAT32 partitions on my SD-Card (32MB, Class 10) with "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.6". Then I downloaded the 4EXT Recovery and booted it from WM6.5 with haret.exe, but now I'm stucked.
All I got is, the 4EXT Recovery do the same job as this MiniTool. It makes partitions on my SD-Card.
I planed to install NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.1 ROM as NativeSD, but I'm afraid I can't do this without flashing the MAGLDR or cLK and erasing the WM6.5
Any help?
thanks for the guide

OK, I helped myself. Thanks!
Partitioned the SD-Card with 4EXT-Recovery again. Created 2 EXT4 partitions 2 GB each, the rest (25 GB) goes for the FAT32 partition.
Then installed the "NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.1 ROM".ZIP (was an AROMA installer) from FAT32 partition and it worked!
Altough it's all very slow and the second EXT4 partition is unused. don't know why the recovery aked my to create one.
"I What is "NativeSD"
As the name shows, the SD card now do what native storage do. In other words, we can leave the nand and done almost everthing with one SD card!"
I'm REALLY new here so this might be a naive question but does that mean we'll be able to run WM 6.5 and WP 7 in a dual boot configuration now? From what I've heard they can only be installed on the HD2's NAND leaving room for either or, but since you say that NativeSD can do whatever the native storage does I thought it might be possible to run them direct off the SD?
Thank you for this guide.
hi all,
so i've been trying this out for two days and no luck also i've searched for it on the forums
so what i've done so far:
-installed 2.08.HSPL
-the 2.15.50.14 radio
-installed MAGLDR
-flashed CMW with a partition with 200 system 5 cache
flashed the rom via zip installation
and it rebootes and just freezes on the green htc logo on the black background for over an hour and i did a task 29 wipe and stated allover again but with no luck... what am i missing here ?
also how do i prepare my sd so i can install data on ex for that rom ? like from the beggingin what should i do?
and have i mentioned im a noob
Are you sure you're doing NAND install? Or NAND with data on EXT? Cause if you're not having EXT partition on SD card - it's not gonna work for sure (explains why you're stuck on loading screen I guess)
"flashed the rom via zip installation" - make sure you're using correct type of install, out of ideas if you're doing it with NAND (ONLY) option.
well i am sure im installing on NAND because i chose it from the AROMA installer..
say i will flash it on NAND with data on EXT for a change , can you direct me to the right steps for partitioning the sd ?
because all the guides i saw here for prepairing the sd were applicable after i install the rom on NAND ...
The easiest way is to backup your sdcard first, because this will wipe it completely. Go into recovery, then advanced and finally choose partition sd card. I suggest choosing 1024MB, and 0 swap. It will take a while, then return your stuff back into the card and try installing the ROM again.
Or, you can use a desktop software to partition it (use google).
thanks for replying ..
so i partitioned my sd and installed the rom on NAND with data on EXT and my phone still stops at the green htc on black logo
what am i missing here ? has this ever occurred before ?
Are you sure you're using wipe option before installing a new rom? (Task29 @ HTC HD2 ToolKit) cause if you're doing it without any wipeout of your phone memory it won't work either, if it's not that, then I'm out of ideas.
However, Ill make a step-step guide, atleast one which I do before flashing new rom.
#1 wipe, Task29
#2 repartition for the system memory etc, I choose 200mb for system (need some space for additional mods xd)
#3 Install MAGLDR
#4 I don't repartition my SD everytime (moving 30gbs out of it is a pain tbh), but find repartitioning of SD card in Recovery, repartition it to EXT4 format
#5 move your rom .zip to sd card after the SD card is partitioned
#6 install the ROM through CWM, should work after that, make sure that you ALREADY have SD CARD PARTITIONED if you're using NAND+DATA on EXT option, cause otherwise it won't work
I always do it this way and it works, correct me if I missed something there cause I'm already doing it without thinking.
Look my signature and mark your bad blocks for once. After that try to flash rom again with bigger system partition.
Sent from my HD2 using xda app-developers app
OK , I've solved the problem .. i flashed cLK and everything went great ..
i guess something's wrong with MAGLDR and my phone .. thanks everyone for replying
Hi all
I have HTC HD2 EU , I installed WP7 and Android (Parandroid witch is a good one ) with dualboot ; thanks to all developpers .
Now I want to keep WP7 and switch to other android roms using 4ext correctly (or CWM) , like BOXMAX Rom installatio
How install
- must have 2 part ext4 ... use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" for Re Partition:
1- First Partition "Fat 32" "Primary" (mmcblk0p1)
2- Second Partition "Primary" "Ext4" for system 1gb or 680mb (mmcblk0p2)
3- Third Partition "Primary" "Ext4" for data 1gb (mmcblk0p3)
- use this recovery and boot it from haret or Magldr SD ...
- before flash rom : wipe and format for sd-ext & sd-ext2 from recovery menu then :
- flash rom .
I found a lot of threads but for nand android .
Thanks
I tried some threads , get into 4ext recovery and off course I deleted WP7 , but when started Android ( BOXMAX NATIVE SD) it stuck on boot image for more than 40 min !
I installed WP7 again and Android ( parandroid ) .
keep waiting for help !
You have your answer right within your post, " use this recovery and boot it from haret or Magldr SD ..."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337663
Are you using the SD recovery from here https://app.box.com/s/jh2w3keom4x81p1qsw8f which is linked in those instructions?
It sounds like you are flashing 4ext recovery (CWM) and therefore wiping your wp7 in nand.
The sd recovery boots from magldr ad sd.
If you want to triple boot paranoid nativesd, boxmax directsd and wp7, you might want to increase the size of your first sd-ext partition to say 1.5 or 2Gb. So that you have;
fat32 (size=whatever is leftover) first (primary)
EXT4 size 1.5 or 2Gb second (primary)
EXT4 size 1Gb third (primary)
WP7 (whatever you choose) fourth (primary)
Thank you a lot for your answers and your time ,
Now I have dualboot WP7 in nand (4.5 G) and Parandroid Rom in the sd with very easy install .
I only want dualboot , keep WP7 in nand , than use 4ext recovery to wipe Parandroid Rom and flash BOXMAX Rom ( as said in instructions here ) in sd , because when I tried partition with 4ext recovery when flashing BOXMAX Rom I wiped my WP7 from nand :silly: .
How to flash the BOXMAX rom using 4ext recovery without deleting nand ,step by step plz if possible ?
