Yes, the ROM. I went to the daily bible thread and tried to click "Download" on the Axura subsection. It gave me an "Error 404 - file not found".
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Just open one of the threads in the form link I just gave you and look for the ROM you wanted, then check the first post there for the download link.
[Vibrant General] bionik9:
I did that. That's when I get the Error 404.

They must have pulled that rom of the server or the host did that. Just go for another one, plenty of options out there and quite frankly Axura isn't exactly the most sought after roms around here.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Axura is truly in need of a 2.2.1 update, but seeing as though Master is happy with his Nexus, it will never be getting one. And quite frankly, Eugene's gingerclone roms, trigger, or any of the i9000 ports run much smoother to me.
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
Ding forget he has also gotten a thunderbolt, I thought about picking up dev on axura but I have no where near enough time to mess with it, but I agree axura is in dire need of an update to 2.2.1

THANKS GUYS :)

I just got Trigger and so far so good.

My only issue is that I couldnt figure out how to restore my apps in Ti. Looked like there were 0 files backed up. Oh well. One at a time.

:D :D nice....
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Maybe you should add radio info also. :o

Well more in depth I mean. xD
[HD2 General] silverwind:
Wow, this is really a useful and practical guide or reference to help users..

I will put in in my signature for easy reference...

Thanks and cheers :)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I will do some proper research and see what I can come up with. ;)

Any particular thing or just radios in general? :rolleyes:

Thanks glad you liked it and that is the reason I wrote it was to try and help out HD2 users and maybe even a few Android users as to what all CWM is and what you can do with it. :)

Still waiting on your post Backlashsid. :)
[HD2 General] kompheak:
great job with the detailed informations. make me understand more how my hd2 run and why we need what we need to get our hd2 to where its at now. :)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I added some radio information to the bottom of post #3 or at least what information I could find on radios. ;)

And this is a shameless bump. :p
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Ah thanks. I asked for it so the guide would be informative in all areas. But like all guides it'll prolly get ignored by most noobs, due to the "feeling that they are being overwhelmed by the information"... -_-"

For those who do read it they'll be grateful so that they don't "accidentally" brick their device.

Good job btw. ^-^ Oh btw, in the radio info you have ram instead of rom, beside the 1024 part.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Thanks for the nice comments and I will fix the error you mentioned. Oh and I am working on adding info on cedesmith's (L)ittle (K)ernel bootloader v1.3.1 (clK) too.
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Ah I forgot about cLK too. Always admired/appreciated that piece of work. Sadly never had the time to try it out since I dun have my HD2 with me now... T.T
[HD2 General] bbot3k:

[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Update

Ok guys I said I was working on adding cLK to my guide. It has takin me a little longer than I had wanted it to but I finally got it added.

I added info in post #2 about what cLK is and it's capabilities, also on how to install it. I attached a zip file at the bottom of post#2 for cLK that has Custom RUU included with it so you don't have to downlooad them separately and then combine them.

I added info in post #3 on how to install CWM using fastboot commands with cLK with links to everything you need to do it. I also added a link to Newman180's guide, it has screen shots of all the steps and is very usful.

I made a few more edits here and there to through out the whole guide. Hope this added info helps people out. :D
[HD2 General] malybru:
Nice.

So you've finally gone over to the other side... :)

Flashed from my fingers to your face
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah I finally gave completely into the Dark Side :p

It took me several hours and countless trying to get CWM flashed via fastboot, but Iwas not going to give up until I got it. I had like four different recovery images and the "cLK_recovery_1.3.3_3.0.1.9.img" wasthe only one I finally got to flash at like 2:30 a.m in the morning and I had started trying at like 10:00 p.m. that night, needless fo say I was :mad:

I switched over for a couple of reasons. One I wanted to be able to charge my HD2 while it is turned off. Two I didn't really like having to see MAGLDR everytime I booted jp my HD2. Three to be able to use ROM Manager. Four for the experience and knowledge gained by doing it.

I edited the title of the thread also so you might want to edit it in your sig too, I have already done so with my sig.
[HD2 General] hellboyborn:
Hi T-Macgnolia

Thanks for this great guide, it has solved my all doubts regarding this big procedure. The way you put it all it made it look very easy.

Thanks alot keep up the good work. :)
[HD2 General] malybru:
I know, and I will joining you, but I need to sit down and take it all in. Read, read, read..... :)

I haven't been able to sit at my PC for over a week(working). :(

But I will get there soon enough.

Flashed from my fingers to your face
[HD2 General] malybru:
Ok,

So I've read a bit ,

and the only down side to cLK is the loss of RAM for us poor EU HD2 users(576>448).

Does that mean less internal memory?or system memory?or what? :confused:

Also ,in order to install a ROM which does not support cLK(like Imilka's,my fav :) ),

would I still install that the old way in recovery? i.e. ad recovery>wipe data ,cache and dalvik>install from sd card?

Please advise :)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok here is my run down on your two queries.

RAM stands for Random Access Memory, this means your device/computer uses this memory as space to read and write data that is to be accessed by the CPU. I do not want to plagiarize so go here and here to learn a little more about what RAM is.

Anyway what it boils down to is yes you will loss some memory by switching over but it is just memory that the CPU uses. This means your CPU has a little less memory to work with will running, but I very much doubt you will see a deference in the performance of your device. Also remember all though I have done much research on cLK (believe me I have done my homework) I have not found anything saying cLK supports the extra ram in the EU HD2's. But at the same time I have not seen anything saying does not either, so it is kinda still a question that is up in the air some what for me. I put it in my guide because I felt it needed to be pointed out somewhere. Like I said I have seen no mention of it anywhere. Maybe once you flash cLK and get CWM then a ROM on your device you can look in your Settings>About Phone and tell me what you see there, that will give some confirmation on this matter.

Yes you will install your ROM the exact same way using CWM to flash via the zip file.but when you flash your first ROM after flashing cLK and CWM you will not have to do a wipe of everything as the flashing should have removed it all, I still did a task 29 before I flashed cLK just to have a clean NAND to start with.

Flashing cLK is just like flashing a Windows Mobile ROM, MAGLDR, or any other .nbh file. Getting CWM flashed using the fastboot commands is what gave me trouble. You have to type the EXACT name of the recovery image file you are trying to flash or it will not work. Remember too if you want to stop trying to get CWM flashed you can always just reflash MAGLDR then CWM and then your ROM and have your HD2 back up and running again, and of course do a restore using a Nandroid backup.

Once you have CWM though you are good cause CWM will flash the ROM for you, as you know.

Also I attached a zip file at the bottom of this post. This is suppose to be a kernel patch to make any NAND Android ROM work with cLK if I understand what the cLK thread says about it. Go to the cLK thread (linked in my sig) and look at post #3. Just use CWM to flash the update, but use the "apply udate from sd card" to flash it though.

Hope this helps you out.

By the way I will be adding some trouble shooting tips on flashing soon also to my guide.
[HD2 General] yoyoyo109:
Wow

This guide was insanely helpful and informative. i did read through the whole thing but there were a few things i'd like to ask/talk to you about

from all of my previous looking, it seemed like everyone was saying MAGLDR is the way to go, but cLk is looking better now due to the whole charging while turned off thing.

what method of installation would you suggest?

also i'm not sure if i'm in any position to make suggestions to the guide with me being new and whatnot, but a list comparing the 2 main install methods(cLK and MAGLDR) would be fairly useful. because i still dont fully know the difference other than cLk will let you charge your device if you let the battery die completely :)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You are right to ask these questions actually, and a list is a good idea I will have to think about doing that.

Most people use MAGLDR because it is so much easier to use, plus it was the first custom bootloader to come out for the HD2 that can boot different OS's. MAGLDR is way more noob friendly and easier to understand how to use. MAGLDR uses RMET for it's data connection which is very stable, cLK uses PPP for it's data connection. But personaly I use cLK now and I don't really notice any difference in my data connection then when I used MAGLDR. Also MAGLDR has allot more options and functions as you can see from my guide. You see MAGLDR was made to be able to boot multiple OS's from NAND and to be able to boot Android from SD card. So it had to incorporate allot of stuff in to it.

CLK is just for booting Android from NAND and not any other OS. The thing is in my opinion, if you just want to run Android from NAND cLK is the right choose as it makes your HD2 as close to a native Android device as it can be. You can do anything with a HD2 using clK to boot Android that you can do with a native Android device. Flash cLK is actually no harder than flashing MAGLDR but flashing Clockwork Mod Recovery is totally different because you have to use actuall SDK/ADB fastboot commands that you have to type in and not just click on a Flash Utility.

So to answer your question, it is really up to you wich custom bootloader you want to go with. But as I said you probably will have no troubles with MAGLDR as it is more noob and user friendly. Follow the parts in my guide about how to flash MAGLDR and then CWM for MAGLDR and you should have Android up and running in no time.

But if you want to go with cLK just follow the part in my guide on how to flash cLK and then the part about how to flash CWM for cLK, also click on the link to the guide by Newman180 under my guide on flashing CWM for cLK. I provided a link here in case you missed it, and click on this link to download the .zip file I made with the Custom RUU already in it in case you missed it being attached at the bottom of post #2.
[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

I'm still not decided on switching to clk...

When I read this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13624719&postcount=1825

it did not inspire me with confidence.

Have you had any experience of extra battery consumption with clk?

:)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Well first off I am a very heavy user of my HD2 and up until I got myself a laptop I was charging my HD2 twice a day even when I was using stock Windows Mobile. But now that i use my HD2 mainly for phone calls, texting, and WiFi tethering my battery life has greatly improved cause it is on stand by most of the time now.

Now to try to answer your question. I have not really noticed a huge difference in battery like mentioned in that post you linked even when I am using my HD2 pretty heavily. Now I will be honest I have noticed a difference but it is just a very minimal deference from using MAGLDR. To me if you change from Window Mobile to Android, or WP7 for that matter, you are going to experience a pretty noticeable change in battery life. As you probably already know. But like I said the little bit i have notice is just enough to notice and that is it. Besides I am not like most people out there and expect the small battery in our HD2 to last for like a day or two no matter how I use my HD2. I mean lets be real here if you can get a full days use out of your battery with moderate to heavy use what else could you really ask for. I can take my HD2 off of the charger and power it on and as long as I use it for calls, messages, read the occasional e-mail, and the occasional web browsing to find some information or make a quick post on XDA. Then I can get about ten to twelve hours of use out of it which is pretty close to what I would get using Windows Mobile with the same usage.

Edit: Something else you have to take into consideration is senior member Daekin does not say how heavily they are using ntheir HD2 either as that has a whole lot to do with battery consumption.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] malybru:
Ok,

Usage is the main battery drain.

If you power your phone down and lock it in a cupboard,you would probably get two weeks out of one charge.

:D
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
HA HA HA yeah I don't think it would be two weeks but it would be a good while.

I hope you did not take my post as being rude, but I just wanted to be realistic about the subject. I just see so many people complain about battery life like our mobile phones should be able to last for very ridiculous amount of time. When if one just stops and does a bit of logical thinking you can really except the fact that the battery is only going to last for a relatively short amount of time unless you barley use or don't use your phone at all . I mean for gosh sakes my HD2 battery last longer then my laptop battery during heavy usage of both and I think that is simply amazing when you compare the size of each battery. Now i know my laptop has way more going on with it then my HD2 but still I think it is worth noting.

Again hope my post has help you some, and remember I will always give it to you straight and not cheery coat it any. ;)
[HD2 General] yoyoyo109:
alright, well while i may be a noob to phone hacking, i've done a share of usind DOS and cmd prompts so i think i'll try cLk :)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Cool, if you run into any problems just post back here or PM me and i will be glad to help.
[HD2 General] malybru:
No offense taken.

I like honesty...

Not everyone can deal with the truth in life generally.

You are absolutely right.

The whole point in having such a great phone is to use it.. :)

And if you use it,you will use up the battery. :rolleyes:

Keep on keeping it real.

Veeeeery nice guide bro. I bougt a second hand HD2 a month ago and haven't used WinMo for even 1sec :p I bought this phone just to use Android.

I'm using MAGLDR, but I think that I'm gonna try CLK tonight.

And btw, I have a total of 411mb RAM now, using MAGLDR with langthang's NDT Ginger Rom v6.0

Could you maybe explain what the MIUI ROM's are?(sorry if it's a dumb question, haha, to me it looks like it's only skin difference?)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Thanks for the kind words, i tried hard to make it a useful guide. It is still a work in progress though as i have a couple more things I want to ad to it if i can. But since i was stupid and did not reserve me some post I will soon be running out of room, but that is my fault. :rolleyes:

I also want to think you for making me stop procrastinating and actually look into MIUI ROMs. I have been seeing the name for a couple of weeks now but have yet made myself look into them. But your question solved that problem for me. :D

e

You have actually gave me a good idea for another thread cause I had someone ask earlier in this thread what CyanogenMod is. So I might just see if I can not put together a thread explaining just what the different custom ROMs are, their differences, pro and cons, and etc.

Anyway here is a short rundown on what MIUI is. MIUI ROMs started out as Chinese custom ROMs for the Nexus One and HTC Desire, but devs are rapidly porting them to other devices, including our beloved HTC HD2.

These ROMs bring the iOS look to Android with a new custom UI as well as some goodies from different manufacturers modifications. They also bring some of the MIUI developers own apps like the very unique MIUI Music Player. The MIUI ROMs are unique in themselves as they do not havfe a app tray, but they have numerous home screens (like iOS) to allow access to all your apps and stuff.

Like CyanogenMod the MIUI ROMs are Android Open Source Project (AOSP) ROMs. They are really fast ROMs as far as speed goes. the MIUI ROMs are available in 2.2 Froyo and 2.3 Gingerbread. If you want to check out a MIUI ROM then then get the MIUI Downloader from the Android Market, and use it supports the HTC HD2 I have already checked it out. But be warned these ROMs still have some Chinese language in them so be ready to do some Google translating, LOL. :p

I may even have to download one of these ROMs today and try it out.

[Q] Why different ROM versions? (CLK/MAGLDR)

Hi everyone,

Been reading a lot on both boot loaders (CLK & MAGLDR),

Now I know what are the pros and cons of both.

My question is:

Why there must be two versions of the same ROM, one compatible with each boot loader?

AFAIK, both support the CWM-Recovery, and hence can install ROMs in .zip format.

So, why is it that developers release two versions of the same rom?

I'd really appreciate some lights in here.

Thank you all.
[HD2 General] Falkenbat:
So here I am :)

Hello everybody!

Introduction:

Since a long time I follow a lot of threads in this forum, did the things mentioned in posts,guides etc., most of the time everything worked and I was happy - with my mda vario, with my artemis and now with my HD2. And if it didn't work, I tried some things for my own, read some newer posts with qs&as from other people, and then it worked again:) But I didn't post one word by myself, no "thx", no "i got this problem, but this solution helped for me".

For that I'm very sorry and with this post here I try to change that bad behavior!

T-Macgnolia, thank you very much for this great guide!! It was very detailed and informative and helped me a lot to understand things i'm doing better! :)

My "problem":

Again I read every word in this thread^^ And as T-Macgnolia I thought for the same four reasons "Let's try clK!" :D

I flashed it via microSD, installed the android sdk with tools and google usb driver for installing cwm. With my console on the laptop and the "fastboot:processing commands" shown on the HD2, I started typing in the fastboot commands...but...it did not work. It showed me a failure, cause it couldn't find "AdbWinApi.dll". I was like "What?? Did I forgot something of the guide?" but I did all the steps. I restartet, uninstalled and did everything again, and again this error.

I looked in the commands of fastboot and found devices, which shows you all connected devices. But for me there was no device connected. Again I thought "What?? I can see my usb cable connecting my hd2 with the laptop right now!".

Solution:

Now here is my little solution of this "problem". Maybe it will help someone like me^^.

In the android-sdk/platform-tools folder there is exactly this little "AdbWinApi.dll" and another one called "AdbWinUsbApi.dll". Just copy both of them(only "AdbWinApi.dll" wont work) into your system32 folder in c:\windows\ so your pc is happy, brings no errror again and yuhu..it shows a questionmark for my connected device in the console after you type fastboot devices..now every command should work :)

Again thank you for your research and everything. Cause of you, I now have clk with cwm on my phone and most of all now I better understand what I'm doing and what all these "shortcuts" like IPL,SPL,MAGLDR,... mean and can do :o)

[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Hey adazamim,

Sorry for the late response, been working my rear off and have been not had much time to post. There is several reasons for having a MAGLDR and a cLK version of a Android ROM. But to be perfectly honest with you XDA senior member zach.antre can probably give you a more detailed answer than I can about why it is two versions. He is the one i learned from.

The main reasons or this MAGLDR uses RMNET for it's data connection and cLK uses PPP for it's data connection. It also has something to do with the boot partition of the ROM.

Hey Falkenbat,

Glad you have been on XDA for a while and that you are the kind of user that can do needed research for yourself. You being a member here for so long and having so few post proves you do your own research. heck you have been here a lot longer than me, glad to see you wanted to contribute to this thread. I would like to see more members be like you and do research for themselves. So I would like to say thank you for the kind words and for doing your own research.

The no (????).dll file thing is a problem that occurs from time to time with a lot of software. I myself experienced it when trying to install a Android kitchen on my laptop. The problem is a very generic problem and is usually solved by re downloading and reinstalling what ever program/software you are trying to install.

A .dll file is a Dynamic Link Library. These type of files contain data and code modules that can be accessed by multiple programs at the same time(.exe files/programs that can be randomly accessed). These type of files help improve your computers performance as far as speed and smoothness of of the computer by helping to conserve resources.

Thanks for the tip here I will place a link to your post in my guide so if others have the same issue your post my can help them. I will give you full credit for the solution too.
[HD2 General] adazamim:
