Hey guys, I recently received a HTC HD2 installed with win 7. Since i'm somewhat new to this, i've been trying to remove win 7 and install an android os. The issue i'm having is that the win 7 was installed to the phone memory and not a SD card, so having it removed and installing a different rom hasn't been a walk in the park. Could anyone kindly assist me with this? :angel:

Sure, WP7 cannot be installed on the SD card, what you need to do is hold the power button when it boots, whichshould get you to MAGLDR, from there you launch the USB flasher and Flash Clockworkmod, then go to clockworkmod viathe AD recovery option. flsh either 150MB, 250MB or 400MB versoin of the Clockworkmod recovery, depending on the ROM you chose.

Hi, this is a funny situation I'm in because 99% of the time I find solutions to my own problems searching this thread but I'm in a unusual situation and I'm looking for suggestions.
I was running MDJ cynogenmod 7 v.2.2 under CWM and MAGDLR 1.11 with no problem, however because some apps did not work in gingerbread I decided to go back to froyo, which I tried MDJ revolution also on MAGDLR under CWM, and got stuck on a bootloop. I blamed my partitioned (Fat/EXT4) SD card and formatted it (FAT)only and re-flashed REVOLUTION via CWM, still got bootloop so i went over CWM, and flashed it via USB Flasher to be stuck in bootloop again, just before i started crying about my dead HD2 I figured to flash windows 6.5 again and thankfully it worked. But after 5 minutes of using windows I needed android so I downloaded a SD version and tried to run it via Heret, and this is where the situation comes because I already tried many versions of android SD and none bootup. Yea it sounds like my SD but I have already formatted, any suggestions would be appreciated.

this might sound a bit daft but have you checked the radio version after flashing the winmo rom?

yes i have the same radio i always had 2.10.50.26
Just wondering, did you have the correct partition size for system?
Use "SD Card Formatter" and set it to FULL and ERASE ON.
thank you!
thanks for your quick help
after running windows for one day I decided to give MAGDLR another try and just like that it worked perfectly and flashed a very old MDJ Revolution build. it seems that after I formatted SD to FAT only I stupidly tried to flash a APP2SD nand build, which [i think] caused the problem [idk if this was it but my guess is that ap2sd builds only work if you have a [FAT]/[EXT] formatted SD Card (i thought it was kind of optional)]
as for running android via SD, no luck via windows, no luck via MAGDLR, but I have it via nand so I am very very happy

Hi
Me and i know a lot of you out there have got a big problem on our phone, and broken the usb port. So no flashing ROM from USB sync :S.
I'm hoping that Cedesmith's CLK NAND loader + CWM flashed from an .nbh using the sdcard method will be the solution we are looking for.
Hope some of the great devs out there think of a way for us to flash NAND or even WM7.
Just get the port fixed?!
PS. There is no such thing as "WM7".

Windows Phone 7.
Get your port fixed, or If you can try to flash cwm recovery.

Dude once again with fixing the port... If that was an option i would be asking for a .nhg so i could format the phone. I've got MAGLDR installed using the SD card now, and i know about cwm, i want a way to partion the phone from the SD for Android or WP7. If i knew how to do that i would be asking...
Thanks a lot
same here
Hi,
My USB is also broken. This is somehow not covered by warranty. Repairservice wants to charge me for 536€ and Amazon sells the HD2 already for 499€.
I cannot afford a new one nor the repair.
Beeing able to flash everything including HSPL and MAGLDR from SD-Card.
I would be very greatful for that option as the standard software provided from HTC is very disappointing with all the great options for the HD2 out there.
Best Regards,
Joe

Well you're wrong!
There is no "Windows Mobile 7" The OS you are referring to is called "Windows Phone 7" and its a completley new OS and nothing to do with windows mobile, hence it doesnt run any of WM programs.
i have a question in regards to the clockwork mod recovery now on hd2, I have installed magldr1.13 thats fine, i have also flashed the clcokwork recovery as well.
I am totally lost as to how you are supposed to be able to flash rom zips from clockwork instead of nand flashing. I know how to nand flash, and I also know how to use clockwork on regular android o.s systems , but im lost as to what this clockwork recovery works with nand roms and regular zip or z7 roms.
If I flash a regular nand rom like i have, and then get into clockwork and try to install a rom from clockwork it messses up?
Are the cockwork roms for the hd2 specific as in zip format or can you intall a nand rom from clockwork it seems people have merged some nand roms with sd .
Any insight or guide would help.

Yessss. Please make a way to flash new partitions with sdcard. I have a USB port with a broken contact between the mainboard and the USB port that can't be fixed.
i am experiencing some issues with my HD2
Firstly i have MAGLDR 1.13 with clk recovery, i was using jawsMIUI for a long time, like 4 months...
NOW i decided to change because my microSD had some problems and deleted some apps and i took the opportunity to switch to gingerbread, so i downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062881 (ginger miui) and tried to install it on my device. Since i thought the boot partition was already the right one, i just wiped (factory reset+cache), formatted my SD and partitioned it by CLK recovery, put the .zip update on my SD card and tried to flash it. And flash it i did. But the device gets stuck on the green HTC logo after magldr starts the rom, like the rom bootsplash, i know it may take a while so i waited like 45 mins, it should be anough shouldn't be?
So i tried to flash new partition layout but i discovered both my PCs don't recognize my HD2 anymore! That's unlikely because with one of those i distinctly remember to have done all the MAGLDR+Android stuff, and it looks like there are no drivers in the PC...
Now what should i do? Am I missing something?
Sorry for the bad english i hope someone helps!
if there are missing drivers there should be a message in the system bar. you should be able to install the drivers then over the internet. had the same problem first when i chancged my notebook.

yes but the problem is that one of the two notebooks i am currently using is the one i first use to setup my devices with android (i came from a WP7 distribution, thus i first flashed WM6.5, then MAGLDR and i even did something to install the right drivers, i recall a step where i had to block drivers in device manager or something like that, then recovery and stuff)
BTW i managed to download the same jawsMIUI i was using before and it looks like it works, but still i have to solve the drivers matter so that i can upgrade to gingerbread!
Uninstall the USB drivers on the PC then reinstall them. All I had installed was HTC sync.

i'll try again... thanks man
Hi all, I have recently (yesterday) managed to install ANdroid on my HD2 and must say I am really pleased with it!. Just 2 things that I'm stuck with.
1, I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948 to be able to get android on and used the nand android rom as described. I then started adding loads of apps and quickly ran out of space. Can I use apps2sd with this rom and is so how do I go about it?. Do I have to reflash the rom again, or is there another way?.
If I have to reflash the rom then I would like to find a rom that is as close to stock sense but has the working flip clock. Anyone have any to recommend???.
Either I'm getting thick in my old age or it was alot easier to Root and Rom my Wildfire that I had previously.....
Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks Scotty.
What Rom are you using? Apps2sd will be in the title of the roms that support it, you need to partition some of your SD to ext4, you can do this via cwm (clockwork mod) then the roms that support it will automatically install apps to SD this is a good Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010498
In cwm go to advanced then partition, you will lose everything on your SD tho so back it up, your SD really needs to be at least a class 4 ideally 6 8 or 10 tho
Edit/ 1gb partition is plenty, any more will cause problems

Hello, Can someone help me !
Few years back i flashed me hd2 to an android ROM.
Months back i tried to install another ROM paranoid android it only showed me the loading screen and stayed on that for hours so i gave up.
i was trying to get the original ROM back on it from windows and since i cleaned the paranoid android, my phone won´t connect to my pc
Activesync4.5 doesnt work since i got windows 8 it something with compatibility i had windows device manager on my pc but that did not work either. I have been searching every where to get it to work but really can´t find anything is there anyway i can install the stock rom with out connecting to my pc ? i have magldr and cmw on it and hspl2.
If u need more info dont bother to ask hope u guys can help me out of this current phone is a piece of crap!
Thanks
Greetings
You can do that by downloading a compatible stock ROM, renaming it to LEOIMG.NBH, putting it on the root of your SD card and then rebooting into boot loader.
But that means removing hspl, as well as being stuck on windows mobile until you can connect your phone to your PC.
P.S: This phone is not a piece of crap.

At that time if you will did a search for that problem you probably know it now the problem probably was the small partition.
Anyway good for you to solve your issue.
