I would like to switch from MAGDLR to CLK for the sole purpose of charging my phone when it is off. Since I read that CLK is able to do this.
I would like to know how I would go about this since I thought about going with HD2 Tookit to ease the process a bit for me.

Right now my phone has MAGDLR 1.13 on it with Coutella's release of Android. No CWM. I had it for quite some time and I have not really had too many issues with it though I would like to update to CyanogenMod 7 Gingerbread Rom. I'm leaning towards this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
So what I'd like someone to help me out with is how I get this done. All this talk of repartitioning and recovering has confused me a bit but I think I have to:
1. Task 29 my phone
2. Repartition my phone to a 140mb or 150mb partition for the rom.
3. Then install CLK
4. Then flash the rom
Would that be the correct method of going about this and ending up with a working phone?

1. task29 (if you want to start with complete clean nand...)
2. the partitions are created by flashing clK (you have to choose the clk nbh file with enough space for your rom (in your case 140/5mb or 150/5 ))
3. install cwm recovery for clk
4. flash your rom with cwm
Thank you for the quick reply! Now, I never really used CWM so I am wondering would the toolkit help me install it or where would be a tutorial to install the mod into my phone?
don't know the toolkit.
really isn't hard though.
see mskips tuts (actually, for everything):

good luck!
Thank you for the advice and the tutorial. I read through it and it doesn't seem to difficult but in the tutorial it mentions that CWM requires MAGLDR? This is true or is this just outdated info?
I also read through the CLK release notes and it mentions that it does not support rmnet and MAGLDR does. What would that missing functionality affect exactly?
After reading through the above tutorial, I read I need a specific radio version. Where would I go to check the Radio Version? It's not like WM6.
Lastly, after reading the release notes, the developer of CLK has a bit of a negative tone towards CLK and mentions that it really isn't any better than MAGLDR. So given that would anyone advise against CLK? I really would like to charge my phone while it is off and MAGLDR currently does not support that and I'm not sure if it will ever.

Hi,
The main difference between magldr and clk is the charging whilst it's off.
There are some complaints of data loss with clk,but this can be overcome with various wrappers.
Clk is native Android and has the advantage of being able to use ROM Manager too.
I personally find magldr easier to use,and have no use for charging when it's off,cos I have 2 batteries.
Magldr also has Tetris.
And now of course there is THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him).
Read the thread and see the advantages/disadvantages.
mate, you are thinking about it too much. pick one and go. give it a few days. if something is not working out, switch it. and to put your fears at rest, cwm can be used on magldr and clk. you have nothing to lose.
go and enjoy!
I may be! HAHA! I just want to understand everything before I take the plunge. This whole CLK memory loss thing concerns me so I might be sticking with MAGLDR, though I really wanted to charge my phone while it's off. Hopefully, someone will patch MAGLDR with that functionality. I'm not sure what the wrappers are but I suppose they are patches of sorts.
Also, would there be any way to preserve my memory of my phone like my contacts and stuff or do I have to erase them? I have most of my apps on my SD card so they should transfer over when I go to a cyanogenmod7 rom right?

when you start fresh, it starts fresh.
my contacts are synched via gmail; i suggest you do the same or some other 3rd party app.
apks are not preserved unless dl'd from a market. but if you dl Astro from market it can backup all of your installed apks (free app btw.) just reinstall from sdcard after starting fresh.
i do not know if a nand backup from magldr would work on clk. i wouldn't as issues may arise.
now just do it. install clk. it's okay. everything will be fine. backup before you do and if clk isn't for you, return to magldr and reinstall your nand backup and all be like it was a bad dream. go go go!
Ok, I gonna go ahead after just two more questions. I don't really use my data on my phone. I only really use it to send picture messaging. I run on AT&T so I can only get EDGE speeds but I do use wifi many times for a quick search on the internet. Now, if I flash CLK since it doesn't support RMNET would it somehow impact my usage?
Lastly, I've been reading up on tutorials and it might be an incorrect assumption but is CLK and CWM together when you flash CLK? Because I see no mention of installing CWM, the tutorials just access the CWM menu and flash the rom.

Hi,
I can't comment on on the quality of data or wi-fi that you will get.That is something you will see when it's installed.
If you use the toolkit, you will be firstly installing cLK.Then you will need to install a system partition for the ROM you intend to use.You choose the size according to the information on the [OP] of the ROM you want.During this process the system partition is created and CWM is installed.
So are you saying that the lack of RMNET can affect the performance and/or usage of Wifi and EDGE?

Hi,
I'm sorry I cannot comment fully on this.
I am just passing on observations from other users.
I,in fact have magldr, and have no such problems.
That's fine I was just wondering. I have MADLDR right now as well and it does not have any problems but I just want to be fully educated on CLK before I take the plunge. Also, I had another question in my previous post that you might be able to answer. Does CLK already have CWM incorporated into it because the tutorials I read on installing CLK takes no mention on installing CWM but rather it just boots into its menu.

Hi,
As I mentioned before,try THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him)
If you take the plunge and install cLK,follow the steps on the toolkit.
1.task 29
2.install cLK
3.System repartition according to the ROM you want to use.
This repartitioning installs CWM as well.
Well, I flashed my phone and everything works but I used a pdf tutorial from the rom's page and then just used the Toolkit to only install CLK and partition it. Anyways, now that everything is working how can I change the Phone's POST Screen. The very first one cause I have this stupid NRG screen when I used his roms and that one replaced my T-mobile one. I'd like to replace it regardless. How would I do this?
that's the splashscreen. you flash it like you did a rom on WM.

Ah great! Thanks for the info, just a few minutes ago I flashed a different splash screen and its all good now! Yeah thankfully, I didn't really encounter any hiccups when I was installing all this stuff. Just had to edit a .bat file for my fastboot since the guy who made the premade package did not update it with the newest CWM but I got it and changed it so it flashes CWM 4 for me.
Also, even though CLK doesn't have RMNET, it isn't affecting my wifi usage so that's a plus and I really do like CM7 especially the sleep animation when you go into or out of sleep. Thanks again for all your help guys!

Please, dear XDA'ers, take a little bit of time apart for a newbie at rooting. :l
I'm an Annoying Noob to you, as you probably already guessed. But I made this account, because I want to root my phone to Android gingerbread, with a -STABLE- sense (2.1+)3.0 UI.
So I had my eyes on THIS one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038694
BUT! I'm REALLY a noob at rooting. I've tried HaRET rooting, with a Nexus android Rrom, well... That didn't go too well, because via my SD things would become veeeery slow after a while. So I NAND rooted my phone to Android Gingerbread 2.3.3. I'm quiete happy with it, but it's not really the HTC feeling I get when I look at the UI.
So I saw sense 3.0 and fell in love.
Well enough about that. I have an HTC HD 2, it's NAND rooted and it's European... ALL I want is a STABLE sense 3.0 rom... That works for my phone.
Now I was wondering, if I would instal it... Would it work properly for me? None of us are sure. So that's why I want to back-up my ROM. With Clockwork rom recovery tool... you know, from the market. Well I get a very annoying error every time I try to back-up my data. I did flash the app to it's most current version, but when I want to make a back-up, my phone just reboots... and does... basically, nothing.
I don't want to mess up my phone entirely. So what should I do first, dear XDA'ers? Please, I just don't want my data to get lost. I tried multiple tutorials but none seem to have the answer to my problem!
sense 2.1 and sense 3 roms aren't stable yet. they have graphic glitches and camcorder problems. but if you don't consider these problems you can live with it. i may recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075703 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124757. in order to prepare your phone for different nand roms you ca use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783.

I will try this, and if I can't figure it out I will come back to this thread and whine more.
In any case, I think it's appropriate to thank you, it's the least I can do.
btw i think your phone has hspl 2.08 and mgldr?!
rom manager dont work with magldr.
To make a backup boot into cwm manually:
hold power down while rebooting -> magldr screen should appear
Then navigate to ad recovery-> backup and restore..rest should be clear.
..i wonder, how you installed nand roms, without to know how to boot to recovery? oO

I just raped my phone I think. I had HSPL installed, and MAGLDR and I think some other stuff too, so I used the first rom the first poster linked, and I downloaden the two files it told me to download in the instructions... I installed the custom RUU from that first rom, and then my phone kinda died. It only said "HTC" in green, and it diidn't do anything. So I flashed it back to WinMob 6.5. Now I have WinMob 6.5 (rom 1.66 or something I think) and I'm not sure what to do next. I don't want to brick my phone and I don't want WinMob 6.5 either.
*Sigh* I wonder if I'll ever understand rooting.
So just to clarify, I have HSPL (I'm sure it's the correct one too.) And I have MAGLDR installed on my phone. And I don't get the instructions from said thread.
<_> My brain is molten.
if you have come until mgldr don't give up. download the nand tool kit i mentioned a few posts before.choose and download a simple rom for beginning (you may take tyweens typhoon) put it in your sd. after that you will take a few steps. don't be afraid,many people (including me) faced same problems.

Thing is, I don't want a simple rom... I'm stubborn like that, hehehe...
I want a sense 3.0 rom, but I'm not sure how to follow the instructions in the thread. It uses terms I've never heard from before...
Well, if there's a stable android 2.3.3/2.3.4 rom with sense 2.1, I'd consider that! Also, I hate the MAGLDR boot screen... you know, "Go go go!" I saw a rom with a very smooth and pretty boot screen... I'd try that too!
i just say if you can succeed to flash one, then you will learn the steps. after that you can try a different rom everyday,as i do

hi guys. I wanted to ask how i can run dual boot on my hd2 t mobile (windows mobile and android...) What should i do...?
Well,this was really one of the most frequently asked questions and there have been many tutorials so far.You could have done a bit of research before asking the question. But no worries, since you are asking, i will just post the links for the step by step tutorial.
1) For HSPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Follow the steps. Only steps 1-3 will apply for you. Step 3 is optional,unless you want to flash a custom WM ROM.
2) For Radio:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Download Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14**. If you want to download a lower radio, ensure that it is a .50 version(x.xx.50.xx....).
3) For Android build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735
Download any Android build you want. I am using AmeriCan Android(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652). After extracting,copy the Android Folder into the root of your sd card. Boot into WM,navigate to the Android folder using the file explorer and tap 'clrcad' followed by 'haret'. Android will now boot(first boot will take some time)
4) For dual boot apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733752
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723200
Download any one of the dual boot apps you want. But for both, ensure that you install them in the device,not SD Card. These apps will let you choose if you want to choose WM or Android. It also automatically executes 'clrcad' and 'haret' from the Android folder, so its just a matter of choosing the OS you want.
Done.Ensure that you backup your contacts,settings,etc via PIM backup or if you are using a different backup app,you can use that as well. Also, follow all steps in the links clearly. If you have any questions, ask. Failure to comply with instructions may brick your HD2. I hope this helps and kindly do a bit of research before posting questions here. But since this involves flashing, i am helping, so that the chances of you bricking your phone is minimised.

If you are wanting to dual boot Windows Mobile and Android then you do not even need HSPL. You only need HSPL if you want to flash anything to the NAND of the HD2. Android from SD runs via the SD card and does not effect the NAND in any way. So no you do not need to flash HSPL again.

You have to be careful when flashing the radio on a tmous model. This is where you can brick your phone. Do not use the radio that is used in the guide. I think it is not compatible Ruth the tmous hd2. Read here about it when you do not know what your doing. You should not start flashing before you understood everything what you do.
This is a step by step guide which you would have found when reading the stickies....

alright...calm down. Before you want to embark on any customization, ensure you have the correct HSPL and a radio on your phone. First enter the bootloader. Check your current SPL version. It should read HSPL2.08 if you have flashed HSPL correctly. If its correct, download and flash Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14** (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787). If you want to flash any another radio, ensure it is a .50 version(x.xx.50.xx**) After flashing the radio, enter the bootloader and check if the HSPL and radio is correct before you move on. If you want to flash a custom WM rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534), please do. Ensure that the ROM is compatible with the TMOUS HD2 (compatibility will normally be stated in the first post). A complete and detailed guide on all of the above can be found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614).
I understand that you want CM7 on your phone. To play safe, i recommend that you stick with windows mobile and tinker with a SD Android build before you to venture into dual booting WP7 and android.
Download an Android SD build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735). I am using AmeriCan Android (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652). After extracting,copy the Android Folder into the root of your sd card. Boot into WM, navigate to the Android folder using the file explorer and tap 'clrcad' followed by 'haret'. Android will now boot(first boot will take some time).
Hope this helps and like what rauschkugl said, kindly do some research and reading first. Try the tutorials out and after you are comfortable with flashing, you can move on to WP7, NAND android and dual booting between Wp7 and SD Android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17282874&postcount=3 (ignore step 1).
Gd luck flashing and enjoy!. Do ask if you are really unsure of something.

update i have installed my first nand cm7 rom feels awesome thanks alot everybody.
any good roms or suggestions for ones with good gps and battery life ?
did you install clockworkmod. if not you should do it because all new roms need it to be installed. i'm running ndt miui right now and for the last 5 month or something like that. tried a lot of roms but battery life on miui in comparison to cm7 was a lot better for me. it also has some nice features that cm doesn't have. but you should try it on your own.
i really can recommend the ndt roms from langthan. he gives great support in his threads and the roms are fast and stable.

to make a clean install you can begin from start (task 29, flash radio etc.)
but to be more practical, if you flash with the same nand partition size you can wipe data factory reset from ad recovery and you can flash new rom.
if they have different nand sizes then you just wipe data factory reset from recovery then apply new cwm partition using usb flasher, then flash new rom.
but all rom cookers recommend clean installation (including reformatting and repartitioning sd)

clockworkmod is for installing roms without the need of a pc. you can also backup your whole rom and restore it. so it is very usefull.
you would have to got to magldr to install it. then you can start cwm by selecting ad recovery in magldr. then cwm will start. if you want to install a rom now all you have to do is put the zip file of the rom to the root of your sd card and select install zip from sd in cwm menu. then chose your rom zip and your done. all new roms use cwm installable zips. so this is the only way to get able to use new roms.
So I managed to get the stock froyo desire ROM installed. All of a sudden my phone wont get data, I did the apn fix I found, my phone also wont load any of my tmobile information and the charger keeps charging and then stops charging and the phone feels real choppy. I'm new to this phone, and use to others where you simply root, install recovery, rom and be done. I'm reverting back to stock win 6.5, which method would be the most popular and stable for installing android?

Why would you possibly use the stock Desire ROM? It's so outdated, it was really just a proof of concept. It isn't even rooted. Find a ROM you like, then flash CWM (with the correct partition size as per the ROM you chose) and then the ROM with any addons you choose. There are tonnes of detailed guides, use search .
this is the thing that confuses me, I actually downloaded the NexusHD2 Rom, but I couldn't figure out how to install it, I don't think I had a recovery unless the magdlr is the recover(?) Also I was under the impression from what I read that when you download a rom on the computer it comes with an installer built in .DAF or something like that? It was just your average .zip rom, which I got from the NAND development section. I'm so confused with this phone lol. I'm so use to the basic android root and rom and all that. Is magldr the way to go? I want a way thats got a lot of development and stable roms.

This phone isn't complicated, you're just not reading properly In terms of ROMs, once again the Stock Desire ROM is the only exception to the trend, but all other ROMs are flashed via CWM. Read the guide in my sig and it should be fairly clear, if it isn't then you probably shouldn't be flashing anything at all. The outline is:
1. HSPL
2. Radio version 2.08.50 or above (I think. Best solution if you aren't sure is to flash 2.15.50.14).
3. MAGLDR 1.13
4. (step you seem to be confused about) CWM with correct partition size for the ROM
5. (optional) Repartition for A2SD
6. ROM (as a .zip, like any other Android phone)
7. Any extras you may want to flash e.g. Kernels, tweaks, GApps etc.

Not to sound rude, but I'm not stupid, I've rooted over 50 of my personal android phone since the Eris was brand new, I'm not a newb, but this hd2 thing use to be much different back in 09 when it came out.
I did skip the recovery step and the partition. I'm installing nexushd2 2.7 now. I saw the 4.1.1 version was just released, I'll have to check that out now.

Oh sorry, I didn't mean that. I just meant that a little in depth reading goes a long way. I'm sure you're perfectly capable of flashing things and yes the HD2 is different but it's genuinely just as easy if not easier than flashing other phones. Having said that, the only other phone I've flashed is my Dad's SGS3 which was pretty much as easy as the HD2. The reason I think the HD2 is better/easier is that there's pretty much no common way that I know of of bricking an EU HD2. Obviously sometimes people just get bad flashes or through years of flashing get bad blocks, but normally people are fine no matter what they do (within reason of course).
