This is the whole method :
Lets get started!
HTC HD2 - Phase 1
The first thing we need to do is get you HTC HD2 running with the latest HSPL4. This is what will allow us to install the modified Android ROMs, or even Windows Phone 7.
Download: HSPL4.zip
Once downloaded, extraxt the HS4PL.exe file somewhere accessible. You’ll be running it shortly.
Step by Step Guide to Install HS4PL:
With phone powered off, press and hold the volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone (while holding down the volume down button)
Your HD2 will load into a “Red, Green, Blue and White” screen bootloader. This is normal.
There you’ll see your current HTC HD2 SPL version displayed on the red bar.
Connect USB cable from PC to phone.
Serial status will be turned into USB.
On your PC, right click on HSPL4.exe and select “Run as administrator“. If you have Windows XP simply double-click the icon, as there’s no “Run as Admin” option.
Click ‘Yes’ if your “User Access Control” comes up.
Follow on-screen instructions to install.
Do make sure that you select 2.08.HSPL. This is very important, as the new ROM requires it to work properly.
After installation, you should see “We hacked it!” displayed on your phone, as well as on your PC.
HTC HD2 - Phase 2
We now have to install a custom radio on your beloved HD2. This is required for your Android Install, or even Windows Phone 7 install to function properly. The only prerequisite is that you have SPL-2.08.HSPL installed on your HD2 (which we already did in Phase 1). We’ll be using the latest 2.15.50.14 Radio ROM version, but you can try others as well, as different ones may work better with your mobile carrier/service provider. To change the Radio ROM simply just repeat the process with a different one. HERE is the Radio ROM list.
Download Radio ROM: Leo_Radio_2.15.50.14europe.rar
(You will need WinRAR to extract it)
Download CustomRUU: CustomRUU.zip – (Short Survey Required)
Extract CustomRUU to the desktop. Once you download the Radio ROM, follow these steps. Again, very similar to Phase 1.
Step by Step Guide to Install Radio ROM
With phone powered off, press and hold the volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone (while holding down the volume down button)
Your HD2 will load into a “Red, Green, Blue and White” screen bootloader once again.
There you’ll see your current HTC HD2 SPL version displayed on the red bar.
Connect USB cable from PC to phone.
Serial status will be turned into USB.
On your PC, right click on the CustomRUU.exe and select “Run as administrator“. Again, if using Windows XP just double-click the icon.
Click ‘Yes’ if your “User Access Control” comes up.
Follow onscreen instructions to install.
Phone will be rebooted after installation finished.
HTC HD2 - Phase 3
Unlike Phases 1 and 2, Phase 3 will erase everything on the phone, so it is advised to back everything up before proceeding.
Now we need to install our custom bootloader – MAGLDR v1.13 – which will allow us to boot off a custom Android or Windows Phone 7 ROM. Shall we continue? Lets start by downloading the latest version of MAGLDR.
Download: MAGLDR V1.13.zip – (Short Survey Required)
Once downloaded, place the file somewhere easy to access – like your desktop. Now follow the steps.
Step by Step Guide to Install MAGLDR V1.13 Bootloader
Verify that you have the correct radio ROM (Done in previous phase).
With phone powered off, press and hold the volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone (while holding down the volume down button)
Your HD2 will load into a “Red, Green, Blue and White” screen bootloader once again.
There you’ll see your current HTC HD2 SPL version displayed on the red bar.
Connect USB cable from PC to phone.
Serial status will be turned into USB.
On your PC, right click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and select ‘Run as administrator’. You XP Guys can just double click.
Click ‘Yes’ if your “User Access Control” comes up.
Follow onscreen instructions to install.
Phone will be rebooted after installation finished.
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded then.
HTC HD2 - Phase 4
For this Phase we’ll be installing ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM for short) on you HTC HD2. This is definitely a “must-have” tool, as most of the NAND Android ROMs are in CWM zip format. You’ll need to use ClockworkMod Recovery to install these zip ROMs from an SD card. Not only that, but ClockworkMod Recovery can also make full system backups and restore using Nandroid. Isn’t that awesome!?
Now, CWM comes in 3 different flavors – 150MB, 250MB, and 400MB – the one to choose depends on the requirements of the ROM we’ll be using. For this guide we’ll be using the 250MB partition, as it’s pretty sufficient for the majority of the ROMS out there. The bigger the partition size, the less space you’ll have to store files. Technically it’s best to choose a size that’s just enough for the ROM – Which is why ROM authors will specify the exact partition size needed. If you want a custom sized partition you’ll have to manually edit the flash.cfg file – but that’s not recommended unless you know what you’re doing. Lets stick with the 250MB flavor for now.
Lets begin!
Download: ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3 – 250MB
Once downloaded, extract the files to your desktop and follow these steps.
Power on your phone and don’t let go of the power button. Keep it pressed.
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded. Once it’s loaded you may let go of the power button.
Use the “Volume Down” button to scroll down to option, “5. USB Flasher.”
Then press the “Call” button to load ‘USB Flasher mode.’
Connect the USB cable from PC to phone.
You should see “Wait USB…USB” on your phone’s screen.
On your PC, find the extracted folder, right click on “DAF.exe” and select ‘Run as administrator’. Again, you XP ladies and gents just double click.
Click ‘Yes’ if your “User Access Control” bothers you once again.
Follow onscreen instructions to install.
Phone will be rebooted after installation is finished.
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will then be loaded.
Disconnect USB cable from phone.
Use “Volume Down” button to scroll down to option “8. AD Recovery.”
Then press the “Call” button.
ClockworkMod Recovery will now start loading.
HTC HD2 - Final Phase
Whew! Congratulations, you’ve made it to the Final Phase! You should be very proud of yourself.
Now we’ll need to download the final piece of the puzzle – our ROM! If you want more in-depth information in regards to the ROM or it’s author, I invite you to check out it’s thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
Download ROM: NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.8.zip – (Make sure you download V1.3)
There’s no need to extract it, as MADLDR will do that for us. Just place the .Zip file on your desktop for easy access, and follow these steps.
Copy the NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.8.zip file you just downloaded directly onto the SD card (use an SD card reader or MassStg in MAGLDR).
Power on your phone and don’t let go of the power button. Keep it pressed.
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded. Once it’s loaded you may let go of the power button.
Use “Volume Down” button to scroll down to option “8. AD Recovery.”
Then press the “Call” button. STUCK IN THIS OPERATION
ClockworkMod Recovery will then be loaded.
Select the “Wipe data/Factory Reset” option. (You can skip this step if upgrading from same ROM)
Then select the “Yes — Delete All User Data” option.
Select the “Wipe Cache Partition” option. (You can skip this step if upgrade from same ROM)
Then select “Yes — Wipe Cache.”
Go to install zip from sdcard.
Then select “Choose zip from sdcard.”
Select your zip file (NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.8.zip).
Select “Yes – Install your zip file.”
Wait for installation – Be patient, it may take a while. DO NOT press buttons or power the phone during this step.
Once the installation has finished, press the “Power” button to go back.
Reboot your phone.
NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.8 will then be loaded.
Success!! You now have a working HTC HD2 running Android 4.0.3
And that’s if. If you run into any problems during your install, I highly recommend going over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/ for support. This guide is basically a puny, simple compilation compared to what you’ll find on there.
If you found this guide helpful, don’t forget to share!

EPE54B (new N1- AT&T) -> FRF50 -> FRF83 & beyond (hopefully) in 20 minutes
and FROYO IS AWESOME !!! Believe me , it's really worth making this effort .
Ok guys , I think it's time for me to contribute some documentation for the XDA forum. As mentioned in the Topic's header , I moved to Froyo y'day night and wanted to share the process with the AT&T N1 ppl on the forum who are ready to unlock the bootloader but are lazy/frightened to go about the so-called lengthy process.
I am a new N1 & a new android user (just a month old ) who has spent sleepless nights like some of the people in this forum and most of the people (here) waiting for the Froyo OTA to hit their N1's. After a 3 week sleep disorder I finally went in for the kill. Thanks to Paul for his guide and others in the forum because of which,this it was accomplished in just 20 minutes.
AT&T N1 (EPE54B) owners who are bold enough to unlock their boot loader ... here's the way to glory.
Senior XDA members please correct the process if you feel something is not right.
I will be using most of the info provided by Paul in his post (here) and I hope he wouldn't mind , if I use his info.And believe me guys , it seriously takes only 20 minutes.
DISCLAIMER
1) I do not take credit for any of the stuff posted here. It's mostly from Paul's guide and other sources. All credits go to the original up-loaders.
2) This is a step-by-step guide which I have prepared from the process I have followed to reach FROYO and am not responsible if it doesn't work for you.
2)You agree that by doing this process, I'm not responsible for any bricked devices.
Unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty.
This process will erase all of your phone's data.
INITIAL SETUP
1) Download android-sdk_r06-windows.zip
2) Unzip to C:\ drive so it looks like C:\android-sdk-windows\
3) Run SDK Setup.exe
4) In the screen that pops out - Double click everything so it has a red X except for green check mark next to "USB Driver Package"
( which means just have to install the USB Driver)
5) On you Nexus 1 - Navigate to 'Settings -> Application -> Development -> enable USB debugging'.
6) Connect your nexus one to the computer through the USB cable provided with your phone.
7) Wait for the PC to install the device driver.
- If it doesn't then --- 'New Hardware Found -> Point the install location to C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver\'
8) Once the driver is found and installed ; On your computer open a command window. 'start -> Run -> type 'cmd' -> hit 'ENTER'.
9) On the command screen: Type "cd c\" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
10) Then Type: "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
11) Type: adb devices ; Hit 'ENTER' key
- It should say something similar to "HT123P123456 device" (this is your phone's serial number).
- If it says "cannot find" or "invalid path" etc, make sure you're typing *exactly* what the green text above says.
- If it says something else, try to reinstall the USB Driver package and restart your PC.
12) If it works, your PC is correctly recognizing the phone. Continue on to the next step!
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
1) Turn off your nexus one.
2) Press and hold the trackball and also press the power button ( while still holding the trackball pressed).
3) A white screen with three droids at the bottom appears.
4) A RED background highlights "FATSBOOT" which changes to "FASTBOOT USB" in a second or two.
5) Now, On your computer open a command window. 'start -> Run -> type 'cmd' -> hit 'ENTER'.
6) On the command screen: Type "cd c\" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
7) Then Type: "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
8) Now on your computer; TYPE: fastboot devices
- It should say something similar to "HT123P123456 fastboot" (this is your phone's serial number). If it doesn't say this, something is wrong.
- If you are typing fastboot devices and it just returns a blank line or ???????? (ie Windows 7 64-bit users), try using USB drivers in the PdaNet install:
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php
9) If it shows the device number , then you are set to go.
10) On the command window opened previously ; TYPE: fastboot oem unlock
11) Read the screen carefully. If you click on unlock it will wipe all your DATA!! and also Unlock your phone .
12) Use the volume control keys on your nexus one to switch options and then press the power key to select the option.
13) An "unlocked padlock" appears while booting and YAY!! you are unlocked!!!!
14) Shut down your phone and boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
INSTALL(FLASH) RECOVERY
1) Download the latest Amon_RA's recovery img from here
2) move it to "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" .
3) On your computer open a command window. 'start -> Run -> type 'cmd' -> hit 'ENTER'.
4) On the command screen: Type "cd c\" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
5) Then Type: "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
6) On you computer's command window -- Type: fastboot devices and make sure your device's number is showing up.
7) On you computer's command window -- Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
8) It should say: sending 'recovery' (3962 KB)... OKAY . . . . . writing 'recovery'... OKAY This should take a few seconds.
9) If flashing the recovery was successful, use the menu options to boot directly into recovery, or restart your phone normally.(without going to the bootloader screen).
Rooting
1) Download the nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip from here.
2) Copy the file onto your SD card. ( It should be in the root folder of your SD card i.e don't put it under any directories).
3) Shut down your nexus one
4) Boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
5) Press the power button once ( quickly and for a very short time ).
6) The screen changes and you move to the Fastboot screen.
7) Do Not do anything for about 8-10 seconds. It scans for some files and returns to the "FastBoot Screen"
8) Now use the "volume down" button to select "Recovery" and press the power button.
9) Do this step only if you didn't use Superboot: Use trackball -> "Flash zip from from sdcard" -> nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip
- If you get a Triangle with a ! in the middle alongside an Android for 5+ minutes, you MAY have to remove battery and re-flash recovery (I had to do this once.) (Make absolutely sure that nothing is happening on your phone, as removing the battery when it's doing something can cause a brick.)
- Alternatively, try the optional Superboot method, and then re-flash Amon_RA's recovery image.
10) Select Reboot.
Phew .. that was hard ... but here comes the best part !!!
INSTALL FRF50 with Radio
1) Download the FRF50 with Radio zip file from here (Paul's FRF50 ROM).
2) Copy the file onto your SD card. ( It should be in the root folder of your SD card i.e don't put it under any directories).
3) Rename it to update.zip and make sure it's not "update.zip.zip". ( if you have the extension names off ).
4) Shut down your nexus one.
5) Boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
6) Press the power button once ( quickly and for a very short time ).
7) The screen changes and you move to the Fastboot screen.

15) You get an "install completed" message after about 15-20 seconds.
16) Reboot and you are into the wonderful world of "FROYO".
FRF50 -> FRF83
1) Ok, now I think you are already enjoying your delicious dessert. Let's add some strawberries to it.
2) Download the PAUL modified FRF50 -> FRF83 zip file from HERE.
3) Connect your phone to the USB cable and mount the card.
4) Remove the existing update.zip file from the SDcard.

I think I'll wait, but excellent work on putting all of that together!
Thanks for the step by step. I believe another approach is to not root (just unlock the bootloader) and to flash back to the TMO ROM and use the leaked official updates. I'm trying to determine which to do.

As far as the info goes from this forum .. I came to know that unlocking the bootloader will void warranty. SO I felt that it's worth rooting the phone after unlocking it as we have advantages like Titanium backup and a lot more ...
I did a similar procedure, flashing my phone to ERE54B--->ERE27-->FRF50-->FRF83
I unlocked the bootloader/rooted in the process, but in the end I end.. I installed FRF50--FRF83 to my unrooted nexus one on ATT.
I wish I had tried applying the ERE27 original ROM to my phone with a locked bootloader, I don't know if it would of worked or not.
Either way, I am an ATT Nexus one on FRF83. It's quite nice
Nice instructions, good job compiling!
However, there is no need to flash FRF50 first, and then FRF83. You can just flash Paul's FRF83, and the radio separately.
AvengerBB, a prerequisite of Amon_RA's recovery image is a rooted phone. I am not sure exactly why it requires root, though.

It wouldn't have.
Just to clarify for me..
I understand unlocking bootloader is what 'voids' your warranty is required to root. It is also not possible to 'undo'.
Is having a 'rooted' phone what prevents you from getting OTA updates, or is having an unlocked bootloader?
If you have a phone with an unlocked bootloader, but not rooted... does google/android OS know any different? (Not warranty claims, but for S/W updates)?
Basically, if/when the ERE54B-->2.2 Update goes official, can I flash back to ERE54B and get the 'original' upgrade intended for my phone if I unroot it. Or will I from here on out have to manually update my phone?
Would you guys PLEASE take a look at this and tell me if you are having this trouble too!
nice work, very well documented, glad someone did this. Thank you.
I think I will continue to wait out the official OTA, but if I get antsy this weekend I know where to come for instructions.
stick this thread!
I have a rooted and bootloader unlocked AT&T version nexus one and I have already installed the FRF50 WITHOUT the radio. Should I go back and reinstall FRF50 with the radio before upgrading to FRF83? On by current build the phone sometimes doesn't reconnect to AT&T service once it has lost service and I need to restart the phone. Does Paul's FRF50 ROM have a radio that supports AT&T? Kinda a noob, sorry. Thanks in advance for the help.

You need to flash the newer 12_7 radio. The radio image remains the same for ATnT or T-mobile, the actual frequencies are decided by hardware. No need to re-flash FRF50 - just flash the new radio from here - http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/nexus/radio-4.06.00.12_7.img
You can use "fastboot flash radio radio...img" command to flash it. After flashing new radio, flash FRF83. It is highly recommended that you flash only compatible OS and radio versions.
Man
I have followed all the steps but when I go to flash the update from the sdcard it gives me the an error that says there is no signature and install aborted. What could this be from? I have tried those steps again and again. Please help.

You can't re-lock the bootloader without being very lucky, you need an S-OFF SPL. Just having an unlocked bootloader won't effect your ability to get OTA updates, it's custom ROMs and recoveries that do that.
If you're going through all that trouble, just use Paul's superboot to FRF83.
Finally got it to work! It didn't fix my video recording bug though. When I switch from camera to video it just freezes and reboots. Did they ever find a workaround for this? I would appreciate the help.
Shouldn't need a work around, mine doesn't suffer from it.

I didn't get an "install completed" message. Instead it says, "Reboot via vol-up+vol-down or menu to complete installation." Then when I reboot it goes to the android falling out of the box image, and then boots back into recovery. I can restore with the nand backup just fine, but this method doesn't seem to work for me. I believe it's the damn radio upgrade that is causing the problems because right before the reboot it says "Writing radio image...". Anybody else experienced this?

Hi, I'm a newbie. I want to upgrade the OS of my GT540 phone from Android 1.6 to 2.1 but I'm not sure what to do. I read some posts but some of the technical terms like fastboot and rooting are new to me. I already downloaded the drivers and kdz files. Help please?

how to use clockworks recovery
when phone is off, press and hold power and home button to switch on in clockworks recovery mode.
to scroll up or down use volume buttons.
to select press call button.
to cancel or go back press end call button.
DONT DO THIS
If you follow this, and flash with fastboot rom, you cannot flash anymore with original rom.
For now I suggest that you flash with original rom only.
I have been pulling my freakin' hair out for the last three days trying to get CWM on my phone.
I am a noob and I don't understand a lot of the lingo and terminology used on this forum. Some nice folks have tried to help and I am grateful; but I guess they think I understand more than what I actually do. I admit I am ignorant. And it's very frustrating!!!!!
I need a simple, easy to understand, step-by-step instructions on how to install/flash CWM on my phone from HD2 Android NAND Toolkit.
I did a Wipe (Type 29) and successfully installed HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR v1.13 and a RADIO but I just can't get CWM on my phone.
Can someone please help!!!!!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987531 everything you need to know. follow the instructions. You flash cwm, from USB flasher in mgldr.
?????????????????????
I've been to that thread a thousand times and it's absolutely no help at all. It makes no mention of how to do it through HD2 Android NAND Toolkit. As I said, I am a noob. I really need more detailed instructions. Thanks for trying to help.
How to Flash CWM
Ok, I would recommend cLK instead of magldr.
I am going to begin from he beginning.
To begin with you need to open the HD2 Toolkit program.
Click the Download Drivers icon in the lower right corner.
Download the drivers, and zip them to the desktop.
These will come in later.
Okay, now your ready to start.
Step 1. Power off your phone.
Step 2. Hold the Volume Down Button and press the End (red) key once.
Continue holding until a multi colored screen appears.
Step 3. Plug in your USB cord to your phone. At the bottom of your Phone it should say SERIAL until your USB is connected. Once USB is connected it should say USB at the bottom.
Step 4. Click the Wipe(Task29) button, right corner, and follow through the steps.
Step 5. Once the wip has finished, your phone will be partially booted. Now we need to power down, so pull out the battery, and unplug the USB.
Step 6. Replace the battery.
Step 7. Now again we need the tri-colored screen. So hold volume down and press the end (red) key
Step 8. Once the tri-colored screen appears, let off the buttons and replug the USB cord.
Step 9. On the HD2 Toolkit up at the top click cLK Reparition.
Step 10. One the right their is a column that says Choose System Partition Size (cLK) click what size you want.
Step 11. Below the column is the cache size, their is two options. Pick one. I usually use 5.
Step 12. Now your ready to install cLK. On the left bottom side of HD2 Toolkit it says Functions, with a few options. Click repartition, and go trhough the steps on the screen.
Once this is completed your phone will boot into cLK.
Windows 7 computers do not come installed with this interface installed, and it isn't located on Windows update.
Your computer should bring up an option to install Drivers. When it prompts you, locate the google adb drivers on your Desktop. This should install fastboot so that your Phone works.
Step 13. Once the drivers are installed. The phone (when connected via USB) should say Fastboot: Processing Commands
Step 14. At the top of HD2 Toolkit click the cLK Install Recovery
Step 15. At the bottom of HD2 Toolkit where it says Functions, it will now say install. Click install.
Step 16. When a Radio box appears say their is two methods of installing cLK. Click yes you are in Fastboot mode.
Step 17. A command prompt box will appear. Just hit enter each time an option is given (three times.)
Step 18. After the third time you hit enter, your phone will begin rebooting.
Press and hold the home key when your phone begins to turn on. After about two seconds CWM Recovery will appear.

Here is the procedure I followed to get from WinMo to NAND:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17584373&postcount=4
Hello,
I was trying to flash this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733649
But i did not do step one, but went straight to step 2. So i partioned my phone, but in step three it askes for me to choose AD recovery in magloader, but becouse i have magloader 1.11 and it does not have this option. I tried to flash magloader 1.13, but i could not get that to work.
What can i do now?
The tutorial of that rom:
Begginers:
Follow the instructions below to flash the ROM for the first time.. if you're coming from a Windows Mobile based HD2. It's recommend to have your SDCARD ready with my ROM loaded on it already.
1. Download and install MAGLOADER.
Download and unpack MAGLDR1.13 from (http://nrgz28.sylvester20007.com/HD2...LDR113_DAF.rar)
Once downloaded unpack the MAGLDR package with your favorite tool. WinRAR or 7zip recommended. Go to the folder where you unpacked the MAGLDR package and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Check the checkmarks and hit next to flash, just like you would flash a Windows Mobile ROM.
The phone will reboot and go to the multi colored bootloader screen. After the flash is complete it will reboot and go IN to the MAGLDR. You'll see a text menu with 12 options. Go to Option 5 (USB Flasher) and hit the Green Send key on your device. It will put MAGLDR in flasher mode and wait for a USB connection. Let it sit on this screen for now...
2. Setup system partition and install Clockworkmod recovery
Download the HD2Toolkit. You can click here to get it > http://nrgz28.sylvester20007.com/HD2...lkit_setup.exe (original thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1090783 )
Run the installer and install it. Now, after you open the HD2 Android Nand Toolkit, it will look like the screenshot at the bottom of this post.
Now... if you have TMobile USA phone (with green/red buttons at the bottom) then choose a 445 MB partion size and just click Repartition in the bottom left corner.
If... you have a device with all white buttons at the bottom (an european/asian model) then choose Custom on the left hand side and input 200 in the box that pops up after you hit Partition.
Now you get a green "DFT" screen.
Hit Next until it asks you to put the phone in USB Flasher mode. The phone should already be in USB Flasher mode from step one. The progress bar will go back and forth while the phone is being setup. Hit Finish when it's done.
The phone will reboot on its own and go back to the main Magloader screen with all the options.
3. Flashing the Energy ROM
Now pick Option 8 and go to "AD Recovery". Magloader will load the ClockworkMod Recovery where you can flash your ROM. This is the place to go when flashing future ROM updates or "patches". To get to this screen after you load a ROM, you have to keep the Power key pressed down as you turn the phone on. You don't have to do that now, however.
Now I assume you have my ROM on the sdcard already. If not, take it out and transfer it through your computer or card reader.... and plug it back in to the phone.
If you have a TMobile USA phone, you can skip this section and go straight to installing the ROM below... If you have the euro/asian model continue to read.
Go to the Advanced menu and pick Partition SD Card. Pick a size of 1024M and let it do its thing. Make sure it doesn't error out. If it didn't continue to flash the ROM below...
Go to "Install Zip from sdcard" in the menu options and hit the Send key. Then choose "choose zip from sdcard" using the volume keys on the side and hit the Send
key again. Pick my ROM from the list and hit the Send key again. Pick "Yes", hit Send. Now the ROM is flashing...
When it's done, hit the Back key. "Reboot system now" is selected. Just hit the Send key to reboot the phone and boot the ROM !
Why would you copy and paste the whole tutorial when you gave a perfectly good link? Also you need MAGLDR 1.13 for CWM, and pretty much all ROMs use CWM. Try a full wipe with Task29 and then flash the necessary stuff (just use the HD2 Toolkit, it's amazing).
Lol, long post and paste, and you missed the one piece that would have been fine on its own.
I tried to flash magldr 1.13 but couldn't get that to work

Explain in what way it isn't working, and that's all we need.
The process is, into bootloader(stripey screen) confirm spl line says 2.08.hspl, if it doesn't, make it.
Connect USB, (still in bootloader) run the magldr installer.
That should be it, magldr 1.13.
Shut down your phone.
Turn it on without releasing your fingers on the power button until the BOOTLOADER MENU appears.
The AD Recovery is the eighth item. Use volume down button to reach it. Press the phone button to select it.
That's all.
Guys,
This is my first post. I see already a thread about this ROM: NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.3 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r3), but there are 501 pages in this thread. I have gone through some pages of these and have downloaded the ROM and clk_1.4.0.1_XXX.rar files based on different partitions, HD2 TookKit 4.2.0.1, Google Android drivers. Is there anything i need to download? I have been running the Windows Mobile 6.5 on my T-Mobile HD2 and would like to upgrade it to the above mentioned ROM. I would like to know if there are any step by step instructions in a PDF format that would explain me what needs to be done first , next , so-on. Any problems/issues that i need to be aware of. My software versions are Manila-25.20181424.0, ROM:3.14.531.1(04666) WWE, Radio Version-2.15.50.14. Any help would be appreciated.
Download the HSPL 4 (Google it, and click the thread from pocketpc.ch) Download the attachment there. Open the ZIP File, and run the HSPL4.exe . If it recognized your phone, select HSPL 2.08 (not the .00-one). For recognizing the phone, go to the Tri-Color screen. To get to this, power off your phone and press the Vol-Down Key and the power-key ,till you see the Tri-Color Screen. Then you can continue with the Task29 (after you flashed the HSPL) (If you don't have the Driver, it will try to install "Qualcomm CDMA-Technologies Driver". When you run Windows Vista/Windows 7, then open the window with the device installation from your tray, and go to the options and let Windows Update install the driver. Windows Update will install it.)
Then, in the HD2 Toolkit, choose cLK Repartition in the top of the window. Choose the Cache Size of 5 MB on the RIGHT side. If there is a system partition size of 170 MB recommended, choose 170 MB, if this is not in the list, choose the next bigger one. It will also work.
Now, if it's flashed, power down the phone, and then press the Return-Button and the Power-button. Now you'll see some lines there. If they are there, connect your phone to the PC. It will try to install a device, named "Android" If this appears, go to manually install the driver, and then choose the path, where you extracted the Google Drivers 4.X.
Now you're ready to install the recovery for the cLK Loader. For this, open the HD2-Toolkit again, and now, in the top bar, choose the Point "cLK Install Recovery." Now, on the bottom left, you'll see "Install" click it, and a command prompt with a text appears. Press the enter-button on the PC, to get to the next text. Press enter again. If you installed the drivers already, you'll see something like "sending <recovery.img>, and when it finishes, there is a text again, that tells you, to press any key to reboot the phone and get back to the HD2 Toolkit. Press enter, and press Home FAST.
If you see the recovery, make the Factory Reset and the Cache wipe.
Now you're ready to install this ROM.

You do not have to use HSPL @.08 with clk like you do with MAGLDR. You can use a higher HSPL if you want.
