I have a busted power button (end call button) and was wondering if I could boot into MAGLDR without it directly booting straight to android. I know that I'm supposed to press the power button at the MAGLDR boot sequence to reach the menu that lets me use CM recovery but I'm not able to do that. Is there any way in which I can install a new ROM on my phone without actually using MAGLDR and CM recovery? Or any other way to make me reach the MAGLDR menu screen?

You could try getting into the bootloader then flashing everything from scratch. To get into the bootloader without the power button I think you can take off the back cover and press the small reset button near the SD slot (using a pin or toothpick) while holding volume down. From there, if that actually works, you can flash a Task 29 followed by MAGLDR, CWM and a new ROM.
Or alternatively, there is an old legend that says "reboot into recovery" & "reboot into bootloader" from within Android let you reboot into MAGLDR, do you believe in legends?
(According to the scrolls, this legend may only be true if you have Android already installed obviously)
EDIT:
Actually, you can do that without having android working (e.g. you're stuck at the ROM splash screen or in a bootloop). Just use adb to reboot into recovery/bootloader and you should be in MAGLDR.
Apparently the scrolls were wrong.
You do realize that I mentioned that my power button was busted so it wasn't possible for me to boot into recovery through the power-restart prompt menu from within the ROM after booting. Or is there any other way to get that prompt from within the ROM? Infact from what I know, telling it to boot into recovery never did work on my HD2....I had to press the end call every time I wanted it to get to the MAGLDR menu.

And I did use adb before posting this here but it boots straight to Android. That doesn't work.

You know what really grinds my gears? When people say "it's not working" to what you give them before they even try it out . (j/k)
Glad you got it working.

Hello!
I'm having a problem during the installation of the clockwork recovery, tbh its one of the first steps but here we go
atm Im using MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 and I would like to install the recovery but to do this I need to reach magldr which is not accessible due to the fact that I can't do anything except looking how my android autoboots ;/
every time I turn off the phone and hold the power button, it just boots to my android. I see magldr starting and booting my system, counting 123456, then gogogo but I cant do anything
help me
You need to keep that button pressed until you're really in the menu, you're probably releasing it too soon?
Are you keeping the power button down all the way thru the boot process, if you're not, keep holding it from power down til it reboots and keep holding it until it should switch to the mgldr options menu.

oh my god, that was so easy
works
thank you very much!
once you get used to it, you'll find you only need to hold power from just at the end of the first bootscreen until the menu appears, about 4/5 seconds. Not all the way from power on, about 15 seconds.
Hi guys, I have searched and searched and searched but cannot get anything I've tried...
Essentially, I got an HD2 today, flashed HyperDroid and all was good, until I wanted to access CWM via the mgldr menu, I tried to access it but it just would not work. Holding the power button would just boot the phone, it displays some text that I cannot remember then '1234 GO GO GO!'
So instead I tried to boot into CWM from ROM Manager, but that didn't work either, it just booted the phone as usual.
So I did a task29, started all over again, flashed a different ROM and the same thing..
I really am lost, any help would be much appreciated.
no offence intended here
Task 29 wipes the phone,
put phone in bootloader, turn on holding volume down,
install magdlr, then the phone will only boot to magdlr, make sure you have appropriate radio to boot.
you should now only have Magdlr on the phone and nothing will boot and you can go through the process of installing cwm to get a android build up and running.
to access magdlr when you have a build be it android or wp7, turn the phone on when it vibrates press the power button and keep holding it down until the magdlr screen appears

None taken, I guess I misread the instructions on all the other threads, I thought you just had to hold power until it booted into mgldr, not press it, release, then press again. Thanks mate!

its just the way ive always got into magdlr but np hopefully u get sorted.
Hi
I know this has been asked before, and I have read for hours.
But, this is like a big problem now.
I have installed HSPL 2.08 and aMAGDLR 1.13.
Something has gone wrong somewhere, and the phone uses one night to boot up any android version. It load over the night .
So, I want to flash in HSPL and MAGDLR again.
I do not have any WPH installed, so I cant get active sync running to flash.
So I need to go into bootloader. THIS I CANT DO!
I have tried like 100 times. Nothing works.
I have tried holding voldown pressing end call or red reset button. Always the white HTC-screen comes on, and enters MAGDLR, and if I still holds voldown, it scrolls down the whole menu.
Actualle I have gotten in booloader one time, but then I was not prepeard for it, and had to turn off again.
I know that my battery is quite poor. Can this have anyting to do with this?
Can I go into bootloader from inside android?
What can I do?
Remove battery,
Push and hold volume down,
Put battery back,
Press power and hold volume down.
And you are in bootloader

To make it clear volume down as to be hold pushed all the time until you get into bootloader.
Hope this helped you.
If it did, give me a thanks

Than you are doing something wrong.
Or you have a mutant hd2 lol.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
Okay try this :
Remove battery,
With left hand press and hold volume down,
With the other hand you put the battery back in and press AND hold the power button, so power and volume pressed and hold, wait until you see the bootloader.
This will work (at least it worked on my phone 1min ago)

Also, when you're on MAGLDR .. Can you navigate through the options up and down? If not, then unfortunately you have broken volume rockers .

Some times, Bent Battery Pins can cause unpredictable issues (However, I have not seen one like this.).
You may want to check your battery pins, straighten them delicately if they are (even a little) bent.
You could try sd card flash method?

SD card flash method I can flash nand android. But this takes one night to boot up.
I want to flash HSPL and MAGLDR.
Why does my MAGDLR show aMAGDLR? This "a", is it suppose to be there?
yes, the "a" is normal .. did you check the battery pins?

yes, checked the pins. they look fine, and the phone always powers up.
i know my battery is very poor, can this have something to do with this?
this us happenin to me all the time ..so if i want to access boot loader i need to wait 2 mn after shuttind down the phone ...if i try befor 2 mn it gos to magldr and no bootloader ...
i read befor that someone had the same issue and he had to wait about 3 or 4 hours instead of 2 mn i wait
Its possible that a task 29 and reflash would work. My home and back button stopped working and it worked itself out.

But to perform task29, dont I need to go to bootloader first?
same here
have the same problem. I can get into MAGDLR and I can move up and down the menu. I can install via DFT but I can't get into bootloader and I can't get into CWM. it is rather strange and I have not found a solution yet.
If I try option 8 (AD Recovery) I get - No Boot Sources

Yes you do. To get back you shut the phone off and while turning it back on hold the vol. Button down. Then do a task29. download the tool to your PC from the link below. Boot into the tricolor screen and start working. Install Task29, install magldr, install recovery, install rom from zip from recovery. :-D. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783 pm me if you have any questions.

Power phone off , power phone on , once you see the magldr screen , press and hold power , then using volume buttons scroll down and select "AD Recovory"
If you can't get into recovery your recovery is probably broken. If you tried the above post and you can't get into recovery mode you probably flashed clockwork mod via rom manager (this breaks the recovery) or did something else to damage the recovery. Download the sd recovery method via this post and follow the instructions as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17068500&postcount=2
Can you boot into recovery now? Make a backup via CWM and reinstall CWM if any problem persists.

Hi,
I have also faced similar situation.
Use HTC HD2 Toolkit to wipe (bottom left) given in the thread.
CAUTION: It will DELETE everything.

Hello!
I flashed my HD2 with Android 4.0 (NexusHD2) and now I can't access recovery or bootloader itself... It just boots directly to android, it says:
1234
GO, GO, GO
And then boot animation is shown.
Any idea how to acces bootloader?

Do you have any idea how to use xda search button? have you even read the magldr thread to know how to access it or access recovery?
before you answer that, go use the search button, type magldr, go to magldr thread, read it ALL (YES ITS VERY LONG) read ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully 9 times, and then go to bootloader. you would realise how to do it eventually. hope some mod locks this thread as there's been too many similar

you press it since the moment you turn the hd2 on? when you want to turn it on keep holding the power button. you should be able to access magldr
