Stuck at MAGLDR

I was using Android on the phone and I decided to upgrade Android to a better version of Android lol. My android is gone and I am stuck in MAGLDR..I tried to copy android and CWR to sd card and boot it in MAGLDR but nothing happens.
Is my phone forever like this now? or is there a way?
Appreciate your help! thanks

I'v got exactly the same problem.
After deleting the ''old'' android and updating MAGLDR from 1.11 to 1.13 it just wont run CWM...
So i'm running stock ROM right now, Sucks!

did you install the new CWM?

Yes i did !

because magldr 1.13 and the latest cwm now work differently.
old way - cwm on sd card - magldr option 2 'boot ad sd' started cwm.
new way -
flash magldr 1.13
get new cwm, and flash it, , it now flashes to the nand, and doesnt require anything on sd to run, just the new partition layout.
Then, magldr - option 8 AD recovery starts cwm.

1. Reflash Radio .. I recommend the 2.15.50.14 Radio If you have a T-Mobile 1024
2. TASK29 Phone .. this will Clear / Erase The Rom
3. Reflash MAGLDR And ClockworkMod Recovery in that order! ( Get Files From Link! )
4. FORMAT SD CARD! FULL WIPE and FORMAT .. I use Panasonic SD Formatter
5. COPY Android Rom ZIP USING SD CARD READER! .. If you dont have one BUY One!
Do Not Use MAGLDR And ClockworkMod Recovery to Copy Rom Zip To SD CARD!
IF AFTER YOU HAVE DONE ALL OF THIS AND IT STILL FAILS .. TRY A NEW SD CARD!
I Have Seen Many Times Its a Bad SD Card!

Thanks man, You knew exactly what was wrong. I had to install hspl from bootloader and then radio. From there, I got MAGDLR 1.13, usb storage mass, copied CWR and Nand. Thanks so much!

replacing sd card worked for me

I was going though the steps to set up dual boot for android and wm 6.5. I haven't put an android version on it yet, but I can't get it to go into wm 6.5 to do it later. Please help to get to wm 6.5 Please can't use phone.

magdlr problem

hi there
i gave a problem with magdlr
i can not boot from android on sd?
its reboots before it boots up, or it will boot to the NAND rom?
when i choose AD SD..?
any help apriciated

Take a look at the thread for the SD card build you are trying to use to see if there are any special instructions to be able to use it with MAGLDR. I know some of the SD card builds require a different roof.img to be able to boot using MAGLDR. Also look for a readme file in the ROM that might have the needed information you are looking for. For example this quote comes from the American Android SD card build thread.
Includes optional rootfs.img that allows to boot build from magldr (!readme! in /sdcard/Android/SDMAGLDR)

Here is a link to the thread.

in mgldr menu go to 'services' then 'boot settings' then 'ad sd dir' then choose the directory of your sd android (which is bootable by mgldr as indicated in the previous post) after that you'll be automatically directed to the mgldr main menu. then choose 'boot ad sd' . booting takes longer than nand roms.

i have all that done
i am not noobish or what. but i dont understand this,
ive flashed wm back. and the sd build would boot up.
then back to magdlr. and the same thing again.. first time its rebooting.. second time it boots the nand rom.?
ive have some apps from my sd build in my nand rom? that is stranger than that all!
rooft img is replaced btw..

if i understand right, when you reboot you want your phone start by the sd build. in sd build thread look at 3 dak's MIUI rom's first post, there is an instruction for that. the second thing, i think is related to sd-ext partition, both sd and nand roms are using it so apps pass from one to the other.

ahh ok
ill try with a SD without an EXT partition..
lets see what happens then

i had putting an sd build @ a nokia 2 gb micro sd.. no ext partition
and i see the NAND bootscreen again ...
what could it be?
roofs.img is replaced, magdlr is correct configured,

a last recommendation, wipe nand build. first boot sd build from beginning then setup nand build. if it doesn't work it goes beyond me. sorry i couldn't help. i boot two sd builds in mgldr americandroid and 3 dak's MIUI and i haven't these kind of problems. good luck

If you want your SD card build to be the default Android you boot with MAGLDR, then from the main menu of MAGLDR go to option #10 Services/0ption #1 Boot Settings/option #1 Boot Source/ option #1 Android from SD. This will tell MAGLDR to boot the SD card build by default.
Sorry I can not be of any more help booting SD Android builds with MAGLDR. I have never done it before so I really have not researched it.

the problem stays....
very strange... i have eerlier running perfectly 2 builds of android on my hd2 ..

If the kernel from sd build is nand kernel like tytung r10 then when you choose ad sd from magldr it will boot into nand build.if you have wm or wp7 into nand,there is no problem

ahh that is the issue.. thnx mate
the SD build i use uses a tytung r10 kernel
now i must search to a another compatible kernel, anyone some suggestions?

HTC HD2 Stuck on Android bootscreen.

Hi,
I've got an HTC HD2 here, with Android installed on it. (NAND, I believe.)
It was bought second-hand with Android pre-installed.
Because it was still linked to the google account of the previous owner, I had to restore the whole phone to factory settings. Since that didn't work, I've just decided to install another Rom.
After some messing around, I managed to install Clockworkrecovery. (It wouldn't boot for some mysterious reason) And then I installed an Android Rom. (Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 3.5 Runnymede)
After some time, the phone rebooted and got stuck on the Android boot screen.
I tried to install another Rom, but now they all get stuck on the boot screen. (I have tried another Runnymede rom, and RCMix3D)
Does anybody know how I can fix this?
I wiped my Dalvik Cache, I wiped my Cache partition, I wiped my data/factory reset. I am using the MAGLDR as boot thingie, but that's working perfectly.
I have formatted my SD-card with G-Parted, on my Ubuntu-PC. (First partition FAT32-750MB, Second partition EXT3 - 1GB and a Linux-Swap of 100MB)
For some strange reason, ClockworkRecovery cannot format my SD-card. (Well, it says it can, but as soon as I stick the card in my PC, the PC tells me it's corrupted. (Windows XP on my Father's PC tells me it has to be formatted, on my Ubuntu it doesn't show up as mountable)
Thank you in advance
P.S. I don't mind losing data, there's no personal data on it. Any solution (which doesn't involve buying a new phone) will do.

Quickest solution I would try is format the entire card to fat32, and see if your pc detects it. Once it does, put the rom on it, put in in the phone, boot into clockwork format data/cache/dalvik install the rom then reboot and see if it goes past the bootscreen (keep in mind first boot takes a while, but if it takes more than 2-3 minutes theres still a problem.
Do you know what partition layout of clockwork you installed by any chance? Some roms require specific layouts in order to work correctly.

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortanetly, that didn't work.
I have installed Clockworkmod like they say on jayceooi dot com. (I cannot past links yet, but here's the step-by-step guide:
Step by Step Guide
Power on your phone and don’t let go power button.
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded.
Use volume down button to go down to 5. USB Flasher.
Then press call button to load USB Flasher mode.
Connect USB cable from PC to phone.
You should see Wait USB…USB.
At PC, right click on DAF.exe and select ‘Run as administrator’.
Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
Follow onscreen instructions to install.
Phone will be rebooted after installation finished.
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded then.
Disconnect USB cable from phone.
Use volume down button to go down to 8. AD Recovery.
Then press call button.
ClockworkMod Recovery will be loaded then.
That’s all.)
I used the 150MB-Partition one.

Didnt work how? Does the pc detect the sd card now after you formatted?
The directions you posted are right, so maybe try a different partition layout. The roms that you said you tried use different layouts than what you have and that may be a problem. Test a CM7 rom and see if it will boot, they tend to have less problems and are overall more stable than sense roms.
I recommend Typhoons rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
Try to install it and see if it boots. It uses the same partiton layout that you have now. If it boots, thats indication that you may need a different layout if you want to run a sense rom.

Well, I could re-format my sd-card and re-partition it, but it (Android) still got stock at the boot screen.
Using the Typhoon rom, I got the same problem. The Rom appears to be succesfully installed, but it didn't really boot.
I now tried to installed Windows Phone 7, this works fine. (I don't want to install WP7 however, I want to install android)
I tried the following too: (Post by a3r0n1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18868874&postcount=14
/
At the "Using "HD2 Toolkit" select "Magldr repartition" Make sure that you are using the recommended partition size for your rom!" part, I got an error that the file was too big when I tried to choose a partition of 300MB, I honestly have no idea what the partition size should be. (I want a sense-rom, I don't have a clear preference which)
I did install the Clockworkmod with 400MB with succes now.
However, still got the same problem. Android seems to get in a loop somewhere in the boot screen
EDIT:
I noticed that the Micro-SD card always corrupts after CWM installs the Android-Rom.
I think that may be the core of the issue here.
Does anybody know how I can install Android without CWM?

Are u repartitioning the phone? That might be the problem. Hope this helps

I manager to install an old Desire-based rom with Android 2.2 through a daf installation.
This one works fine but I still would like to install a Rom with Android 2.3 via a more regular way.
One problem I'm facing with this Rom is a very limited amount of internal storage. (about 55MB)
And I've got a big battery leak, the battery drains very fast. Much faster than my Desire HD. (The HTC HD2 we're talking about isn't mine, It's my mother's)
So does anyone know how I can install a regular Rom (preferably runnymede based) without CWM? Or does anyone know how I can resolve my problem?
@akaruna: I do not know how to partition the phone, I believe I didn't do that. Should I? I did partition the SD card. (CWM made unreadable cards for some obscure reasons, so I partitioned the SD card using gparted on Ubuntu)
Thanks in Advanced
Sjoerd

If you have limited internal storage then the main problem is the partition table is not correct. This is also why the roms you install are stuck on the bootscreen. When you install roms that require a bigger partition table than what you already have on your phone they will be stuck in a bootloop.
Go and download the HD2 NAND TOOLKIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
Check out the video to familiarize yourself with the features, then repartition your MAGLDR with the correct partition table that the rom you want requires. Go into clockwork and install rom from zip.

Yes the tool kit is the best.

Yea the toolkit works wonders. Even though I still do it the original way ;p I do everything faster that way for some reason

Oh and yes, always read the thread from that certain Tom so that way u know exactly what partition table/size to use. Usually linked also.

I tried it again with this rom: "[18Dec 2011] [CMR] Sensation xl Sense3.5/2.3.5 v2.7 BETA OC & marc1706 0.1.3 kernel" (I believe I'm still not allowed to post links)
I used the NAND toolkit this time for the System Partition Size.
The only thing I actually did was clicking 350MB as System Partition Size and then I clicked repartition. And then I followed the on-screen instructions, which involved clicking next and after some installing some drivers everything went fine. (With the HD2 in USB-flash mode of course, it also said the job was completed succesfully)
I wasn't able to choose a bigger size for some reason, it told me the 400MB was too big.
Still the same problem, the phone gets stuck at the Android boot-screen.
Does anybody have an idea? Thanks in advance (Again, I'm not scared of losing any data, if anyone has any solution at all: I'm more than happy to hear it)

I tried another DAF rom and got the following error:
"Error Description: Size is too big.
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (800)"
So I tried repartitioning the System Partition Size (MAGLDR) to 400Mb.
However, It gave me the exact same error.
Does anyone know has any idea? (For example, how I can change the partitions in another way)
(Partitioning it at 360MB works fine)

Not sure what it is but the DAF file I use let me partition to 445...... those sense time are heavy and if the partition isn't right it will bootloop or not

hd2 stuck on startup all android rom

hi
i installed many rom on hd2 via clk cwm .zip from sd card many rom stuck on start up but some starts but after restarting or powering off the the same problem with all roms plz help to boost ur thanks meter

Make sure you perform "wipe data factory reset" in cwm, to ensure the files on the ext and android folder on fat32 are cleared before flashing the rom.
If possible try a different SD card and sim, they can both cause issues occasionally.
Any stability issues on winmo?

Just give us more info about that ..
Are you sure you are using correct system partition size?
Any SD-ext? Sense (big) roms?
Did you try complete reflash? (-> winmo -> hspl -> radio -> clk+cwm -> android)
You (We) can check your logcat, there should be answer for this issue.

i dont know about the system partition i think this is the problem some roms need

thats a fine fix, however if you flash a smaller rom to that, you will waste the extra space. so flash a 250 meg rom to a 400 meg partition, you will lose 150 meg, it wont be used for apps or data, the system will just ignore it.

Every time u flash do TASK29,RADIO,MAGLDR,CWR ,FORMAT SD,PARTITION SD then put rom on it then flash it. Everytime i do not follow that procedure i stuck on boot

Always Task 29.

Hello guys,
I am experiencing the same problem with my HD2.
I have Tasked29, flashe MGLDR, CWR, formatted and partitioned SD, then placed ROM file and flashed. I reboot and the phone gets stuck on the HTC screen. The flashing of the ROM takes very little time. Before I had this problem, flashing a ROM would take longer than what it does now. It completes in about 10 seconds or less!
I can't figure out what's wrong. I had to re-install an old ENRGY Windows ROM; better than nothing! This ROM is working fine, even without the SD card.
I had been flashing CWR 4.0. I will flash 3.0.2.5 and see what happens.
Any one has any ideas please?

Follow this tutorial by kylew1212 to install cLK 1.5 . (don't forget to thank him)
After it installs, boot while holding the back button > Settings > Repartition NAND > *After you finish selecting your sizes* choose "COMMIT" .
Phone will reboot, then go to "Recovery" and flash your rom from there.

[Q] Help, MAGLDR - error 'nand kernel open failed'

Hello!
I'm novice on HD2, and I meet a little diffuclty...

with :
Bootloader: MAGLDR v1.13
And Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6.
After NativeSD installation, (everything seems correct) the phone reboot,
and on magldr I receive the following error message:
"Booting Android from NAND

An idea to help me?
I have probably forgotten a step...
When I choose installation : NAND with DataOnEXT
All is ok! The phone start on android, without default...
Thanks you for your help,

what is happening is, that when you install nativesd rom, you should use BOOT AD SD option from magldr. rom is not installed on nand. just make magldr use nativesd folder from settings and then boot AD SD to boot the nativeSD rom

Hey gilbert32, so we meet again ;D
At the moment I'm switching my HD2 devices - what is better than 2 HD2? Of course, 3 HD2
The first time, I booted the NativeSD Hyperdroid in my HD2. The touch screen went unresponsible. I got another HD2 from a buddy, flashed MAGLDR, put in the SD Card, set MAGLDR to boot from AD and was happy. Now I want to do the same trick on yet another HD2, just installed HSPL, falshed MAGLDR, flashed CWM 5.whatever, changed settings to boot from SD, put in the SD card and MAGLDR is telling me (in red letters): "SD kernel open failed".
What is the problem here, what is wrong, what is the solution?
I just reflashed the NativeSD ROM via the target device, it's still saying "SD kernel open failed"
Can this be cause by a wrong partition size on the new target device?

I think you could look at:
Wrong block size,
Wrong partition type,
Partition not set as primary,
Partition not set active
Use minitool partition wizard home.

Thank you jvzijp, but the SD is still working on the first and second HD2 like a Charm. Put in the SD, boot from SD, be happy.
But I recognized: The third HD2 (if booted with an NAND ROM) is stuck on some kind of Hyperdroid loading screen while booting. Maybe it's a case of bad blocks and I should try to resize the partition, a few MBs more to compensate the bad blocks?
Edit : I forgot to tell you, the device that's causing the trouble was a virgin. Till yesterday it ran windows mobile from stock. And the screen is cracked but still fully functional.

Hi JackDCalloway
I too bought a virgin hd2, reconditioned but running stock or any custom wm6.5 rom such as Artemis and Energy ROM's fine. I only have the one HD2 but have had one in the past and was surprised that my original SD card that used to run Android from SD using Haret didn't work.
I've tried allsorts so far to work around the issue, it sounds like you have exactly the same issue.
Please tell me.. are you able to boot into recovery (any recovery!) as I can't either from MAGLDR or SD (using 4EXT Recovery and similar)?
I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing this problem but am glad in a way that there is someone else with the same issue as me as I've been trying to resolve this for 2 months now and have spent many hours!
