[HD2 General] sharedito:
Hi, I've been having some trubles to find the way to first, update MaGLDR to 1.13, then install ClockworkMod Recovery and finally MIUI ROM. First I googled how to update MaGLDR to 1.13, but I couldn't follow the directions I found on the original thread, I didn't had ActiveSync. So I'm writing this thead so if someone has the same problems as I had, I hope this can help someone. And if you want to install any other ROM, this may be usefull too. I find the ROM installation from Recovery easier and faster then installing it by RUU, but, that's my opinion.

I want to make clear that all the files on this post are not my work, I just uploaded again, so you can find anything you need on this same post. I'll upload the MIUI ROM for HD2 too, I just want to add, that I rather this ROM for HD2 beacause it is very light and fast, but that's just my opinion too.

Before we begin, make sure your HD2 battery is at least 50% charge. So, let's begin.

Updating MaGLDR to 1.13 version

As I mentioned it, my problem was to stablish an ActiveSync connection with the PC, so to solve that I've conected my HD2 on boot mode.

1. Connect your HD2 on boot mode(holding volume down key + Power button).

2. Wait for Windows to install drivers

3. Decompress the content of the file above on an empty folder

4. Rigth click on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and select Run as Administrator

5. Click the check box and click next, and repeat

6. Your phone will show a screen saying HTC with a progress bar for a little while, once it finishes it will restart, hold the power button so it shows the MaGLDR menu options, the option AD Recovery should be on the menu, and there you got, you just updated MaGLDR to 1.13 version.

Installing ClockworkMod Recovery

Before you choose which file to download here is an explanation from the original thread.

Q. I dont know which partition size to download

A. Depending on what type of roms you plan on using, you should choose the partition size based on the following.

150MB Partition - For bare roms including CyanogenMod, AOSP, and MiUI

250MB Partition - For Standard sense roms including Desire and EVo based ROMs, can also be used for some squashed HD builds

400MB Partition - For Larger roms including unsquashed Desire HD and Z roms, ROMs REQUIRE data2sd for EU HD2 with 512MB NAND
