[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Klutonec:
Hi guys,

First, I'd like to point out this is my very first post here! And nice noob video, very entertaining :D

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 :o
