What is the current Rom on your HD2?
are you using magldr or clk? if your using magldr i might try a fresh install of it & flash a different ROM...lets say BLUETOPIA HD. (personal choice) dont forget to partition your sd card and phone if the ROM you choose asks to do so. this might not be necessary & maybe its a bit overkill but i find that when i have similar problems this takes care of it. dont foget to wipe data/cache/delvic. or if the problems persist you can always flash a windows mobile ROM.
@yerdan, I'm running stock desire from DFT
@htccraze, I'm pretty sure I'm using magldr. is clk better?
i can get into boot loader mode, and the recovery but not into adb recovery
anyhelp?
i cant even get the phone to connect to usb
Did you install recovery? CWM or CLK?
HERE IS VIDEO HOW TO DO IT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pxucOLY488
OR FOLLOW MY STEPS.
To do this just download this pack: http://www.multiupload.com/VZ1WB57AOY
To install CWM follow these steps:
1. Unpack CWM.zip
2. Double click on DAF.exe
3. Connect your phone to your computer using USB cable
4. Switch your phone ON and HOLD RED CALL button until you see magldr options
5. Using Volume DOWN button go to USB FLASHER and press GREEN CALL button
6. Now, click NEXT, NEXT in DAF.exe program
7. You need to wait until it connects with your phone, and if it's connected it will install CWM (installing will take few seconds)
8. Now your phone will restart
9. HOLD RED BUTTON to get in to magldr options and go to AD RECOVERY, press green button to open it
10. Then go to MOUNT option and press green button
11. Now go to MOUNT STORAGE or MOUNT SD i don't remember it is the last one, so go to it using VOLUME button and the press green button
12. Now you can put Android on your SD card
13. So download this build, it is very quick: http://www.multiupload.com/8UPNV5WUZU
14. After you downloaded it, put it on to your SD card
15. When it is finished, in you phone press green button and BACK button two times to get in to CWM main screen
16. Now choose Install zip or something like this i dont remember (dont choose update.zip)
17. and choose NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.8_NAND_(Android-2.3.4)_update.zip from the list and press green button
18. After it is finished press back button and choose reboot phone option.
And you're done! Android will boot.
If you have problems or something let me know

Oh, so it doesn't recognize the phone? You get error that it can't connect to your phone?
Do you have Windows XP?
Install this:
If you don't have activesync download and install: http://download1us.softpedia.com/dl...0018828/software/internet/phone_gsm/setup.msi
And install this:
http://www.htc.com/managed-assets/support/software/htc-sync/setup_3.0.5551.exe
Then restart your PC and try to connect.
oh ok i see. i've had this problem too. to fix it i just unplugged the phone and plugged it back in, after a few seconds it worked, should do they same for you.
im on windows 7
i almost think the phone is bricked, i cant get past the lock screen and phone wont rec. a usb connection.

Does it charge the phone through USB?
Why do you think it's bricked? Does it boot to magldr?
What ERROR do you get after running DAF.exe?
Have you tried to see if it is recognized on different computer?
If you haven't got any other computer to check, then try to install Windows 7 on new partition and see if it works there because it might be some problem with drivers, I remember that I've used to have a problem with my old nokia phone, it was detected by pc but something happened and it wasn't recognized by pc anymore, I tried to reinstall drivers etc but didn't work. What I did was I reinstalled Windows and it worked.
BTW: Are you running DAF.exe as Administrator?
Hi guys,
First, I'd like to point out this is my very first post here! And nice noob video, very entertaining
Anyway, before I get yelled at...
I've looked everywhere on this website for a solution, and nothing has worked, and I know there are many people with the same problem. This isn't a Noob question (though I'm not a tech savvy,) but rather a deep mystery that's frustrating.
Have you ever had a time where you do exactly what you've been told, yet you don't get the results expected? Well this is precisely the same thing.
I'm using a T-Mobile HTC HD2 and I'm trying to install a custom Android NAND ROM on it, with cLK as the bootloader.
Whenever I try running CWM through cLK (held the home button as phone rebooted), it goes and stays on fastboot as if CWM was never installed (which I'm sure I did.)
Actually, it doesn't ignore the installed CWM completely, because if I boot with the home button held, as opposed to not, I notice some extra lines in the bootloader..
I'm gonna copy down exactly what is on my HD2's screen right now (even though I could be wasting my time. But just in case .) My phone is connected to my computer via USB at the moment.
I bolded the lines that caught my eye, though I don't know what to do about them:

I'm REALLY sure I did the install-Android-into-HD2 process correctly. But I'll tell you guys everything I did:
1. I downloaded HD2 Toolkit (4.1), which a lot of people had success installing their ROMs with.
2. I then installed HD2 Toolkit using its setup program on my computer.
3. Then, opened the HD2 Toolkit on my computer.
4. Afterwards, I clicked the Wipe (Task29) button located on the lower right of the Toolkit.
5. I connected HD2 device to my computer through its USB cable.
6. I immediately hold the Volume Down button on the device as it automatically boots up (because that's what happens when I connect it while it's shut down.)
7. Multicolored screen (red, green, blue, then white) shows up on my HD2's screen.
8. On it, it says that I have HSPL 2.08 installed (yes, unmistakably HSPL, not SPL.)
9. I turned my focus back to the computer, and continued with the Wipe process.
10. The HD2 showed a progress bar and I waited until it reached 100%, and rebooted by itself. I help the Volume Down button once again in preparation for the next step.
11. Once I was finished with the "Wipe (Task29)" process, I select the "cLK repartition" button at the top of the Toolkit window, which was the next step.
*This button both installs and repartitions cLK, I don't know what that means but that's what it said on the Toolkit's thread.
12. I then chose "150 MB" inside the selection box labeled "Choose System Partition Size (cLK)."
13. Directly below the same box, I check the 5MB below a label "Cache Size."
14. I then click Install to finally begin the cLK installation&repartition process.
15. With the multicolored screen already shown up on my HD2, I began the 2nd process.
16. Just like the "Wipe (Task29)" process, no confusion occured. The similar-looking progress bar as earlier reached 100%, and the device reboots once again. This time, I DIDN'T hold the Volume Down button but held the Back button, as it's cLK's fastboot's turn to do its job (which means no multicolored screen this time, just white text on a completely black background.)
17. I take a glance at my device. The USB cable is still connected.
18. Turning my focus back to the computer (Toolbox once again, to be exact,) I click on the "cLK Install Recovery," confidently predicting that nothing will go wrong, because I followed all the steps, so far, without any confusion.
19. A command window pops up (on my computer,) and tells me to press a key to begin the CWM Recovery installation process.
20. I press the spacebar button.
21. The installation process begins.
22. In under 5 seconds, the process is finished, and the command window tells me to press any key once again to reboot my phone.
23. I press the spacebar button once again, and the command window closes on its own, and the phone reboots.
24. At the same time, I start holding the home button on my device (the tutorial mentioned that doing that while it's rebooting will launch CWM Recovery)
25. To my surprise, the set of lines above (in the quote) with the errors happen. CWM Recovery was never launched.
This is all the details I can think off that I can give you. The device handles a Custom ROM with MAGLDR 1.13 just fine, so I don't think anything's broken on my device.
Can anyone solve my little problem I got going on? Thanks a bunch
maybe an issue with the toolkit
personally i just just fastboot to install CWM
It's not a toolkit problem
I attempted to reinstall cLK once again (after Task29) using a couple more tutorials that I found in this website. I noticed these tutorials were all very similar, they all basically told me to install the same things the same way as I did the first time, but I still end up in the same fastboot rut.
then its something you are doing wrong
download the fastboot adb drivers
restart the phone in fastboot mode
flash using the fastboot flash recovery command

The fastboot adb drivers?
I saw a google-usb_driver folder or zip in the tutorials, and I installed them through the "android_winusb.inf" file within them, if that's what you mean?
yes that zip, boot the phone into fastboot mode and then use the command promt to use the fastboot commands
I remember trying that once when I was going through other tutorials. Anytime I typed a command in for it (after Shift+Right clicking in the folder where the recovery img file is and click "open command prompt here") it'd say something like "there is no external fastboot connection" or something like that.
I don't know the exact words, but maybe that relates to the first current problem I'm having.
Two tutorials suggested that cmd method, and both times the same "there is no external connection" message would show up on the cmd. Again, I paid a lot of attention to those tutorials, and there were two of them. Nothing was too complicated to understand, so I'm absolutely sure I haven't messed up in following the steps, at least.
I also saw somewhere it might be a radio problem, so I downloaded two radios and experimented with them both. For each of them, nothing was fixed. (I tried 2.07.50.27_2 then 2.09.50.29_2) So the same fastboot problem persists.
EDIT: Is there a command on cmd to make fastboot go to recovery without pressing the home button?
the home button is for CWM and back arrow boots it into fastboot mode, afaik the phone cannot be put into fastboot mode without this method
it sounds like the drivers are not correctly installed if it is failing to find the phone if you are getting a conenction error
your radio has to be 2.08 and above for android to work properly from what i have read
I am also facing the same issue. Phone is HD2 and was working earlier with MAGLDR but it got corrupted and could not load android so decided to switch to cLK.
when try to load into CWM by holding the home button it loads with one error. As mentioned in the first post the first error but not the second one. Then it just reboots itself again but never goes into the recovery.
I used fastboot to flash the recovery and got the success message on the PC screen and also the phone gets rebooted everytime i try to reflash the recovery.
But when i type the command
fastboot devices
nothing is displayed.
It seems like the device is not connected then how come the recovery is flashed from the fastboot menu.
I checked in the computer management- devices and I see the Android phone without the "!" mark signifying that the fastboot drivers are installed properly.
Please help.
Got it resolved. Used HD2 toolkit to flash the cLK recovery.
Long story short, I was attempting my second flash. I followed the steps before and everything was going fine. Now right before i open CWM to install android the MAGLDR ( which is version 1.13 ) gets stuck at "123456GOGOGO".
Now i thought maybe i would start my proccess over but I cannot acces the tricolor screen. I wasnt able to do this in the beginning of my proccess either, when i pulled up my HSPL program on my desktop my computer entered the tricolor screen on its own and I proceeded from there.
Basically i have looked around and have found some ways out of the GOGOGO problem, yet I cannot acces the Tricolor screen using hardware buttons so I am stuck. And its not a hardware issue. In MAGLDR the Vrockers work fine and before I did anything the rockers were working fine in Windows 6.5.
Any Ideas? I have a feeling i got a pretty nice paperweight now.
the normal way to enter the tricolor screen is to turn the phone off then hold the volume down button and momentarily hit the power button.
Also, To keep from getting to the 123456 GOGOGO hold the power button while it is booting normally and you will get to the MAGLDR menu and there you can go to the AD Recovery and flash a new rom.

pull your battery,
put it back in,
hold down volume and power button,
and theres your tricolor screen
True i know about to Volume Down and power key to enter Tricolor, but for some reason with my phone that does not access the Tricolor, tried it many times.
Holding the power button while it booted made no difference.
*******I followed these steps for flashing my rom:*****
First, you need your files!
HSPL4
MAGLDR 1.13
Clockworkmod Recovery
Download a ROM of your choice, I prefer Hyperdroid
Unzip only the first 3 files, and place the ROM zip on your SD card.
So, here we go!
Remember to back up all of your contacts and any data stored on the phone that you want to keep, because you will be wiping windows off ENTIRELY.
HSPL4-
Plug in your phone.
Right click the HSPL4 file and select "Run as Administrator"
Go through the screens, then when it's connecting to your phone your phone will go into bootloader (red, blue, and white screen)
Select HSPL 2.08 when it comes up, hit next. Let it work.
It'll popped up saying "We hacked it!", and you'll see it on your phone. Click yes, then ok and you're done with this step! Phone will restart.
MAGLDR 1.13-
After phone's restarted, go to the MAGLDR folder, right click "ROM Update Utility", and Run as Administrator.
Checkmark the necessary boxes to continue through steps. Then click "Update", then click next through screens.
Once it starts updating ROM image, it taks about 2 minutes. Then click finish.
Phone will reboot into MAGLDR.
Navigate MAGLDR using the volume up and down keys. Use the green button to select (you may have to click twice).
(At this part in the video I uploaded the ROM zip, I'm assuming you already loaded it though, so skipping on).
Flash Clockworkmod_150
Scroll down on MAGLDR to option 5 "USB Flasher". Don't select it yet.
On your computer, go to the Clockworkmod folder, right click the DAF file and run as administrator.
Click next until it gets to waiting for USB.
Now press the green button to put it in the mode.
Text will start to appear on the phone screen, and the Clockworkmod flasher will do its work.
Once done, click finish, and MAGLDR will reboot. It may say something like "kernel fail", it's normal, don't worry about it.
Scroll down to number 8 "AD Recovery", select it.
It'll say Go Go Go Go, and then you'll be in Clockworkmod Recovery!.
****************************************************
BUT! at this point i get stuck in GOGOGO and i have to remove battery.
I JUST got this phone and really want to atleast get it back to Windows Mobile so i can restart my flash.
read the link in my signature...i was there and few of the folks succeeded after completing the process
Hoping it wouldnt come to this but looks like i dont have a choice, hopefully I get a try your method out tomorrow since the success rate looks promising, Ill get back with the results!
Try to reset your phone. Push the red little button on the back near the SD card
I have the HD2 open and have removed the flex cable at the bottom of the phone yet when i connect USB it auto boots so i have to power it down and to do that i have to connect flex cable. once i have the cable connected i power down then i hold the volume button and before i can restart the phoen autoboots from the USB being plugged in so im in a loop.
But i cant boot without the USB being in so Im in a pickle. Again

Try this:
- Hold down the vol_down button and don't let go.
- connect the usb, don't let go of the vol_down button
- should go into bootloader
- now let go of the button.
Nope that didnt work either, any OTHER reason my phone wouldnt acces the Tricolor screen? Ive tried everything 100 times.
HI all, thank you for your time.
I recently inherited a htc hd2 that has android 2.3.4 on it, model T8585 baseband ver maui.11amd.w11.19.sp.v1, 2011/06/23 00:50. kernel 2.6.35.7. build number 10hx2p.h3.111121.ad2_3_4_v1.wvgac_cn.com_v01_3g.
I don't know what any of that means but for 3 days I have been trying to put ICS on my phone but cant get any of the apps to connect to the phone via usb, htc sync, win mod sync, no rom apps connect, moborobo will connect, and accessing the sd works but that is all.
I do not have clockwork recovery and can not install, my recovery program is <3e>.
even though android is running on the phone it will not allow root access.
I have downloaded and installed all the java and sdk stuff, could not manualy install usb connection drivers, my os is win 7 64.
I am going mad, every turn seems to be a brick wall, but not a brick phone yet, please help!
don't worry
Hi dj,
well it sounds like the most important stuff should be on your phone. However, I'm missing the following information:
Do you have magldr or CLK installed?
To find out, do the following:
Turn on your phone (with the hangup-key), right after feeling the bootup vibration press and hold the hangup-key again.
If you have a working magldr or CLK installed it should show up now.
The version is also important, my MAGLDR is version "1.13".
Tell me what your phone has installed please and I'll try to help more.

thanks for the quick reply, no I can not install that stuff, when I go into recovery mode it is <3e> recovery not clockwork, I can not install them because my phone does not seem to support native usb, I have tryed to install them from the sd card, I have tryed to install CLK from the app at the google download store, nothing works, I have red that i should roll back rom to win but cant to that without htc or other sync working, I have read roll recovery back to <2e> using the sd card but cant do that, I cant even root the phone because everything requires that a usb sync work or that CLK already be on, I;m going round in circles.

okay, I don't know if I get you right? You have android on your HD2 but you don't have MAGLDR or CLK (those are bootloaders, not recoveries)?
Magldr looks like this: http://www7.pic-upload.de/17.02.11/n35i2xpo9mg.jpg
And you enter it this way (if you should have it): pull out battery -> put back in -> press and hold the power key until you see the magldr screen (takes maybe 5 seconds).
My problem is that I'm not sure how your phone is setup. Please try to clarify.
If you have or had a working android on your phone, I'm pretty sure that you also have MAGLDR or CLK installed.
However... if you don't have it yet please download the HD2-Toolkit from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19931919&postcount=50
Thats a good tool to install either: magldr or clk. And once you have it I'll try to help you with that.

I do appreciate your help, I had already installed the toolkit but it will not connect to the phone(no pc based "phone hacking"software will connect to the phone. the usb works fine only to access the sd card, moborobo will synch with phone but nothing else.
when i hold vol down and on, the phone boots into <3e> recovery, <3e> is not an emoticon, it is the name of the recovery app the phone boots into, not any clockwork, magldr thing.
I think I could sort it all out one way or another if I could flammin ROOT! my phone, but all the methods I have found involve using a sync program that i cant use because they will not communicate with the phone.
I know it seems strange that a windows phone has android on it without being rooted or having other stuff going on, but I assure you this is the case.
I'm obviously missing something but I don't know what it is??? I's there a way to root the thing from the sd card, or is there a hidden box that i just have to check to access the root? I'm lost bro http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
PLEASE DON'T follow those steps. As Nigeldg pointed out: there are incorrectnesses in my post!
Follow this link instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830
Okay, I think I kinda get where you're stuck at.
Here is what I think I would do, just out of my memory:
- Install the Toolkit again. Start program and in there download the drivers (button in the right corner) and install them properly.
- Boot phone and press down the volume down key (exactly like this: click on power button, release power button, hold volume down and keep holding), to get into three color screen.
- Connect your phone via usb and wait until it says USB on the phone (instead of serial)
- if it should not switch to USB, your Windows does not connect to your phone, because of a driver problem (maybe you have to reboot your pc once?!)
- start your toolkit
- press Wipe (Task 29) --> this will erase everything on your phones NAND
- follow instructions
- next press install HSPL
- follow instructions
- reboot phone
- press Install MAGLDR
- follow instructions
- boot phone and keep holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR menu
- move down to "5. USB Flasher" (with volume down)
- press call button to enter
- wait until it says USB....USB
- in the Toolkit, on the left side choose your partition size (my suggestion 200mb main and 45 cache)
- press repartition
- follow instructions
- reboot phone into MAGLDR again and move down to "8. AD Recovery"
- press call button to enter
- move down to mounts and storage
- press call button to enter
- mount USB-Storage (your sd-ccard)
- your computer should show your SD-Card
- download your favorite ROM and move the .zip to the SD-Card
- back on your phone unmount USB-Storage
- go back with back button
- move down to "install ZIP from SDcard" and choose the desired zip file
- follow the installer and reboot into MAGLDR afterwards
- in MAGLDR move down to "10. Services"
- press call button to enter
- and press call button again on "1. Bootsettings"
- and again on "1. Boot Source"
- then move down to "2. Android from NAND"
- and finally press call button to finish this
- Now move cursor to "3. Boot AD NAND" and press call button.
-> Your phone should boot up android and set it up for you, give it some time, even after seeing the login screen.
Reading your last answer, I think your problem is right at the beginning of what I wrote. You can't even get into the 3 color screen?!
If this should not work please tell me at what point of my instructions you are stuck.

@OP, Actually please don't follow that guide. Just reading a few lines shows that:
1. It says to Task29 (never a necessary step)
2. It then says 'install HSPL'. Either HSPL 2.08 is already installed (so this step isn't needed) or you've just messed up your phone by trying to flash Task29 without HSPL
3. It says to repartition with a 200MB system and 45MB cache - you actually repartition as per the ROMs requirements, and 45MB cache is just a waste of space (most ROMs recommend 5, people have flashed as low as 2MB without issue)
4. It says to transfer the ROM to your SD card via CWM, which can cause the .zips to be corrupted. Always transfer via an SD card reader if possible, or within an OS (not MAGLDR or CWM).
5. It says that you have to set the boot settings to AD NAND when you don't
Whilst it's great that you're trying to help people out and write your own guides, don't do so when you're ill-informed and don't really know what you're doing. It's best just to stick with already existing guides.
@OP, try the guide in my sig if you're looking for one which is easy to follow, has clearly outlined steps and is (most importantly) correct.

" Boot phone and press down the volume down key (exactly like this: click on power button, release power button, hold volume down and keep holding), to get into three color screen".
when I follow this step my phone goes into <3e> recovery, not red blue green clockwork, "<3e>" is my recovery, it is a screen with "!" in a triangle and a little android dude.
my recovery does not let me install unsigned stuff so even though I can put things on the sd card, I can not install them from there.
the phone does not sync with any toolkit, install, htc, win, android, or other even though htc, and android drivers are in my device driver list.
my phone is not rooted.
I do appreciate all your help guys, I will keep looking arround the forum, I found some posts about my <3e> recovery and mods so it will allow install of non signs apps, peace.

This may sound silly but always best to check the simple things 1st, do you have windows mobile device center installed?
I am not entirely convinced you have a HD2. you may have a clone.
I'm inclined to believe RobbieP's right. I've never heard of this recovery ever being used on an HD2. You claim that you're not rooted (all of the HD2's ROMs are rooted bar the DFT Stock Desire ROM) and you also say that when you boot up there is an ! in a triangle. None of these things should really be happening on an HD2.
Secondly, you seem to be very confused about your terms. Please read the guide in my sig about that, as if you somehow do have an HD2 then you should be aware of all of those things before flashing.
If possible, could you post some pictures of your phone and also the settings info etc.? It might help in determining if it's a fake.

Yeh, it's installed, but just to be certain, after your question, I reinstalled it, still no good.
Im going to try to root the phone latter, will look around on this forum for a non usb style root.
yeah I suppose it could be fake, I have only seen on forums of Samsung phones using this recovery, It was bought on eBay cheep, when I do a factory reset it goes Asian on me, it looks exactly like the hd2.
As far as getting some terms mixed up, sorry, I had put in a lot of reading and trial and error before asking for help, It's hard to gauge how long to grind away at something before asking for a tip.
I will post some pics of the phone latter
thanks again for all your help guys.

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!
