RE:

Hey you guys,

I flashed SPL-2.08.HSPL to my phone with the HSPL4 package, everything worked out fine and my screen looked like in the picture in the first post. After that I wanted to flash MAGLDR and it did so, but now the phone is stuck at the first green HTC logo and I waited like 30 minutes or so.

Can somebody help me on this. I have got some experience with HTC phones and rooting but I have never seen this before :s..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Which ROM did you flash? :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Anteino:
RE

Just before HSPL and that stuff the stock ROM RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.43.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship.exe with SPL-1.42.0000 (I checked in the bootloader after flashing RUU).

But I feel like that is not the problem because I DID manage to get HSPL
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cajunflavoredbob:
So, you flashed MAGLDR and then didn't flash a ROM, but you expect it to boot? :confused:

You can't boot into a ROM if you didn't flash one.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Anteino:
No but it does not even boot into MAGLDR. But I didn't flash from phone with active sync but booted into bootloader and flashed succesfully from there, that shouldn't be the problem right?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Reread the instructions and flash a ROM through MAGLDR.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] samsamuel:
reread his posts, the whole problem is he cant get into magldr, because it doesn't appear.

cajun is half right, you haven't read the instructions, if you HAD re-read them like he suggests, you will realise that you cant get into magldr because magldr needs 2.08,hspl AND a suitable radio, the radio on your phone is currently 2.04.50_22_2 from the 1.4 rom you flashed before you started.

phone into bootloader

flash radio 2.15.50

reboot

magldr will appear
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Anteino:
I was about to say the same because I read that in the post from magldr, but it also said that 2.08 will automatically enable 576 mb ram. I was confusing the spl 2.08 with the radio 2.15.... so I thought I was doing fine. So yes, that is my fault sorry for wasting your time!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I see that problem so often that I didn't actually read all of his posts. Sorry.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Anteino:
Well, I searched for boot taking long, I didn't search for "I didn't flash the radio and I'm not aware of that" :p, next time I'll try to use the search function better and reread the instructions a couple more times :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MSephiroth:
O.O

Holy ***t.......... from cotulla's twitter............. :eek:

A bit more information on the above^

[HD2 Android NAND Development] RedmanOPG:
Ok so as the phoenix rises so has my HD2. I butchered my fiancee's and my broken phones into a working one, problem though, after I falsh magldr I get reboots and vibrates. bc they haven't been used in some time I thought it was prbly the battery, so I left it to slow charge on magldr 1.3 for 4hrs. before task29 ing and reflashing magldr. still no luck, any pointers be appreciated. Can't get magldr to boot, it shows the header with cotulla and the make date but no options. At this point it just keeps rebooting even after charging for 4hrs in mgldr. :eek:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] miksi:
Try to cool it down, put it in refrigerator for 20 mins (i'm serious). Then turn it on. If you able to see magldr menu then only option for you is Native sd or the old method from haret so you have to put Windows mobile back. Forget magldr or clk, as soon as phone heats up you will have problems like freezing or reboots. Another thing, you have to add mem=354M in haret boot cfg line for both sd recovery (4ext) and rom to be installed.

Main reason is failure (hardware) to activate 576 MB of RAM so you have to lose 2.08 HSPL and flash 3.03 HSPL.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RedmanOPG:
Thanks for the reply miksi! So, small update. I can now boot into magldr, but when I try to boot ad recovery it looks like it's going to go 123456 go go go. But then nothing! Currently have teh pos in the freezer. Does this still sound like the outcome you would expect? Reluctant to try native sd as I never used before and am not familiar with it. Also I am only running like a class 4 16gb card and read it really only works well with a 6 at minimum.

EDIT: Hly sh$* about 10 mins in the freezer did the job, it was able to boot into cwm and I am now itp of flashing a rom (fingers crossed!). we'll see how this turns out!

EDIT2: Success! It was able to flash the tytung 11/9 4.1.2. Now I'll just keep my fingers crossed a good charge with the rom will cure all ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] miksi:
If you have Tmous model with 1024MB ROM DO NOT try to flash 3.03 HSPL, ever. I've once had europe model and experienced similar problems. Putting it in the freezer enabled me to boot in magldr, flash the rom and even using it for a while - but only for a couple of hours.

The fact that it works for you after cooling it down ... well, use it and we shall see.

Regards.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RedmanOPG:
So once it heated up again it froze while in play store, then hung at the magldr screen :( Looks like I've got some reading to do.. Thank you for the sincere help!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] miksi:
Sorry to hear(read) that. I've sold mine about 2 years ago as soon as I found out that I can't run android from NAND on the damn thing. But WM 6.5 works OK. Also some SD android of the time using haret worked alright. I'm not sure which is yours - TMobile with green and red buttons or regular with all white. If it's the later, the recommendations from my first post stands. I don't know what to say for TMobile HD2. I've manage to get TMous model when I sold my old unit and it works flawless with only 8 bad blocks and after countless flashing.

It's the old(obsolete) model today and if you can repair it cheaply, go for it. Otherwise use it with WM 6.5 if possible.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cajunflavoredbob:
If you still have the parts from the other hd2,then just swap the main boards out. This is a CPU issue that will not be fixed. It is relatively common on HD2s. It will only boot while the temperature is below 70°F.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RedmanOPG:
Thanks for the heads up, but I actually combined the mainboard and the secondary board with the usb out of my phone and the lcd and digitizer and screen housing (that was not broken, as mine was) from my wifes phone to get a working :rolleyes: phone. Maybe I can try putting her mainboard back in it and keeping my secondary board. Hers would not boot at all and it's possible it was just her usb that was broken. Anyways, sorry for all the off topic and thanks for all the help!

Will history repeat itself ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DarrenNewsgroup:
See this quote some time ago...

And my reply a few days later

If you look at the replies after mine you will see that I amused lots of people (spoiler alert - don't ask when the next version is ready). All good fun really. Best bet is to wait and see. I must admit it is really frustrating waiting but then again these guys are not getting paid for this so we can't complain. They have done wonders already for our phone.

Darren tks .. I know those posts and the entire story .. old timer here..posted just like that , not looking for any answers..cheers :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sagarjawaress:
Shows only tri color, do not proceed further(not a button prob)

Im sorry to post here but i have a strange problem that my hd2 cannot pass the tri color boot screen, even i have replaced the buttons.

I was previously running android on magldr and it suddenly crashed, since then, i am stuck on tri color. i ve reverted back to the stock from computer and from sd but still the same. Reverting back to hspl2.08, installed many things like task29, clk, mag, custom wm6.5, everything goes fine installation, but the damn cannot boot into any os. I am stuck at tri color screen.

one thing i have noticed that even after i install stock wm6.5, it automatically boots to tri color when connected to a charger, while it is not supposed to do so when mag is removed with task 29 and stock wm or custom.

I am advanced user and have used hd2 for 2 years and i know things like stock and spl and all that. Well i have Tmous with hspl2.08 and radio 2.14.50.

i think this is magldr related issue(since it is booting directly when a charger is connected), thats y i posted it here.

Plz help....i dont want to miss this awesome device while another one of mine is complete brick dead.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

is there any command in mtty to ignore the tri color boot screen and allow the device to boot??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] samsamuel:
if youve reflashed stock from sd card, then magldr was no longer there, so if it was still doing it, it can't possibly be magldr related.

Sounds like either a corrupted nand (corrupted bootloader) or a faulty vol-down button.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sagarjawaress:
buttons were replaced as i doubted them...every installation goes fine...but having a very strange problem. Any help please.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] samsamuel:
Then it's either a properly corrupted section of nand, or a hardware fault elsewhere, either way your options are...

1 jtag it,,, I'd estimate around 25% chanceit will fix it, or

2 new mainboard or phone. New mainboard may not work if the fault is elsewhwre.

Also, posting multiple coppies of the same post in different threads will get you less help, not more.

R: [DFT] MAGLDR 1.13 released [AD RECOV support added] **DO NOT ASK FOR RELEASE DATES

Hello Cotulla, can you release the source code of MAGLDR? So we can improve it if you don't have time to work on it. I think it's a good idea to let MAGLDR be an open source software :)

Thanks man for all your hard work made on the immortal Leo :thumbup:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] anon1811:
should a mod add "DO NOT ASK FOR SOURCE CODE" to the thread title?

Cotulla has pointed out cleary that DFT releases will not be open source. See twitter from Jun 7th 2012, Feb 14th 2012, and so on.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zenida:
R: [DFT] MAGLDR 1.13 released [AD RECOV support added] **DO NOT ASK FOR RELEASE DATES

Yeah but I think that abandoned projects should publish their source to let community upgrade it. I trust a lot this philosophy, because imho it's a way to improve even more

So I'm just asking to Cotulla if he wants to release the MAGLDR code to let us take care about his work
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ccbm3:
Have you even seen his twitter feed lately? I dont think this is abandoned at all. Keep in my mind that this device is old. Nearly 3 years now. It takes hard work especially for a device that has no manufacturer support anymore.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zenida:
R: [DFT] MAGLDR 1.13 released [AD RECOV support added] **DO NOT ASK FOR RELEASE DATES

Yes I read something, I was just suggesting a way to have more support from community and makes HD2 really immortal
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
I agree that open source is the way to go for whatever reason he refuses to be open but its his project so I can't critique him on his choice for his work
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Johrans:
He can make a part of the program open source.. But still he is working on the next version 2. Sow we need to wait and wait;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
Doesn't matter to me I use clk (open source). But I hope cotulla does release something innovative and maybe drops some source code so we all can contribute.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Johrans:
Agree
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jully3881:
i think the win rt on hd2 mag2.0 wp8 will never release!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Daycrawler:
Win8? Nah, that was just a proof of concept. But maybe mag2 will surface just before cotulla buys a new great phone and gets bored with hd2. ;p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] x2xdj:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] BarksterNOR:
Having problems

I have installed MAGLDR1.13 multiple times, but when i do it deletes my Winmo rom. I can install winmo again when holding vol down. I have the right Radio and the right SPL. I am trying to install Android on Nand but when i run DAF, it tells me that a readme.txt is missing and when i push on next, i get the message '' An error has occurred

Read below for more information

Error Description: Config load failed.

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (725)

Error Description: CONFIG: can't open config file

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (304)''

What am i doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nigeldg:
Read through the guide in my sig, it's a more updated version of the one you used. If you had read about MAGLDR properly before flashing it you would have known that it deletes WinMo.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] smoula.dd:
Try run daf.exe as administrator and check if the name of the recovery file match with name in cfg file.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DarrenNewsgroup:
Try reinstalling active sync (Windows XP) or Windows mobile centre (Windows 7) and turning off "allow usb connections". I had this problem on a new Windows 7 x64 machine.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] brzuska:
I reinstalled MAGLDR with partition size 445MB and now I have nothing on the phone I go to 8. AD Recovery and get back msg. "No boot sources" How to fix that now?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] samsamuel:
installing magldr (and partitioning, ) has wiped the rom, so enter recovery and flash a rom.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] danialnab:
hello guyz

i jusst installed it and after reboot it jusst stuck at htc logo

nothing happens

what shoud i do??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] powerofthink:
did you install any radio rom?

Firstly use task29.

After install radio rom.

And then install magldr.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] danialnab:
which radio should i use?

Edit1:

i did all u said

but it didnt work

im stucked at htc logo
[HD2 Android NAND Development] adell_:
Use HD2 Toolkit and you should be fine.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] danialnab:
can u tell me the correct steps of installing magldr and recovery???

what i need at first

??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dxdy:
nothing special....

use NAND HD2 Toolkit

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090783

boot to bootloader with Volume minus and power and do Task29

no need to install hardware radio if already installed (radio not deleted when do Task29)

if you dont have, flash HSPL 2.08 (if you have skip this)

boot to bootloader with Volume minus and power and flash magldr

when boot to magldr go to 5. USB Flash and in HD2 NAND Toolkit select under magldr partition size for partition... when you selected desired values use Repartition...

Thats all. now you can use AD Recovery option in magldr
[HD2 Android NAND Development] danialnab:
i've already did these...

i've installed the Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14

i did the task29

after that installed magldr

but i still stucked at HTC logo :((

whats the problem?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dxdy:
turn off phone (pull battery), power it and hold power button to boot to magldr menu....

also check did you have right HSPL installed

if nothing helps, try flash original WM 6.5
[HD2 Android NAND Development] danialnab:
which hspl should i have installed?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dxdy:
2.08
[HD2 Android NAND Development] carred66:
automatic restart when try to start recovery

Hi all: after install magldr I go to n.8, (ad recovery) and appears for a second the menu but inmediately the phone restart, it is like is constantly pressed the button in n.1 (reboot )

I tried to move fastly into the menu, I saw how the options change (the light move down on n.2, 3....) but restart again.

Hardware problem?

I did the process (wipe, radio....) two oe three times and still in the problem.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gilbert32:
have the phone put on charger (on usb) before entering ad recovery. maybe battery's empty?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] carred66:
Another problem is only works with charger connected. But this, I think, is not the problem on the restart. After many atempts once I succeed in, but I had the sd card problem:it says me I need a ext4 partition, eventhough I had it.

Now I have a 4 gb sd card (class4) with 1,5 gb ext4 and fat32 the other.

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Finally I got it, by pressing after "Ad recovery" the power off button, then the ad recovery menu appear and I manage to install the rom. But when installation is ended and try to restart it came the same process: reboot, magldr.-> ad recovery-> automatically reboot

AAAAAHHHH!!!!!

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

another problem in addition: if I press n.12 "PowerDown" the phone switch off, it appears the battery start charging (orange led) but in two or three seconds the phone re-start
[HD2 Android NAND Development] carred66:
Thanks, but if I turn it off, appears the charging led but 3 seconds later it restart without press any button, at its own.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] GroteBozewolf:
Exactly what he means. If you have a charger connected and power off, it will power on again by itself so it can charge. This is because it can't charge while being powered off.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] carred66:
well, the issue is the same if I put a full charged battery: only start with wire connected, and if I unplug it the phone goes out.

But by the moment my most important problem is that of magldr: go to "ad recovery" click and restart. Only after many attemps I succeed to enter.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] samsamuel:
bent battery pin.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] carred66:
YOU GOT IT!!!!

Yes!!! As simple as that!. I "forced" with a nail and works!

Thank you very very much.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nigeldg:
Does your call button work in Android/WinMo or is it only broken in MAGLDR?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Steccas:
My friend (that gave me the Phone to fix android failing to start) says that it worked in Android, but the Power button doesnt work well. I had the same problem with malgdr before i did task 29 and reinstalled malgdr again.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sab3r:
Looks like Cotulla support got finished :/
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fengsam:
Thanks for your hard work [MENTION=3907492]gilbert32[/MENTION] I changed it
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gilbert32:
[MENTION=5081633]fengsam[/MENTION] and others who ask this:

Cotulla stated multiple times that this project is closed source and will always be. close sourcing it allows him to do it on other devices in the future. and as there are things like rmnet included he'd never release it. just enjoy dft work without asking for ETA or sources.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
He can release source and still do it on other devices only thing releasing source does is make it better for everyone and allow others to contribute and make it better and maybe make there own project and make it better. This is android everything should be open source.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gilbert32:
[MENTION=2681593]sportsstar89[/MENTION] indeed releasing source makes people contribute and gives better suppport and better software, but this is his bootloader and he's free to do whatever he wants with it. maybe he'd release in future if he wants too. don't forget it has rmnet which is not open source afaik. also releasing source might cause OS vendors like microsoft to patch their systems and not allow such bootloader to boot them, preventing the ability to use it like before.

it's always cotulla's decision and dft, and hd2 was never a native android device, but thanks to cotulla and devs it's almost a pure android device.

he gave us hspl, magldr and both are closed source. wm was a closed source os too.

while i don't mind not releasing source code, i absolutely have no problem with releasing it. pretty sure some people can do a good job at it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Robbie P:
I seem to remember this argument being used in tytung's thread too.;)

Magldr is a bootloader and is not android (it boots WP7 too)

I have to agree with gilbert32 here, Cotulla and DFT have done plenty for us already, we should be grateful.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
Obviously its a boot loader but it boots android personally I think it should be released but with it being his project he has every right not too. I just disagree with his stance that's why I'm sticking with clk
[HD2 Android NAND Development] white-energy:
I think he should release an unfinished software for us atleast, i have been suffocated from this thread's "DONT ASK ETA" and yet there's nothing at the end.. it has been 3 years ? or maybe less.. we're still waiting.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] retsam88:
"playing the gardener's dog" is lately a good motto for XDA.

And to think that only open source/cooperation got HD2 that far. And it's not only specific to HD2 forum, lots of others got the same problem.

Short of: downfall of XDA.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nitro_123:
Hi there :)

Mate I asked Cotulla WHY he does not open source his projects and this is his answer:

"Why MAGLDR is not open source? There are several reasons. But it's normal, "free" doesn't mean that it must be open source. You can found a lot of projects in the Internet.

Open source has own advantages and disadvantages.

Actually if we lived inside "ideal" world, it could be different. But reality is awful: there are many ugly people in the internet who steal your stuffs or ever start to sell them. or ever start to use your stuffs to show off.

Yes, I know whole XDA is based on illegal things, like hacking and using stuffs without permission, but it's our hobby development in the spare time without profit and which is available as "free to use"."

Think about it and you will understand why he has not open sourced his stuff. it IS HIS after all.

And I'm sorry but I can't say anything about the other people :)

Edit: Can I please ask for an ETA for an ETA :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rlydiard:
The post above pretty much does state why Cotulla and DFT do not share code for such work as MAGDLR. But, I think too, if you take the time to look back in the posts, that you will find that both Android and WP7 development on the HD2 would never have taken place first without the initial efforts of the whole DFT team, including Cotulla. And, this is not only true for the HD2, but many other phones as well. More understanding often decreases griping......
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
There was android on the hd2 before nand you do realise that right? All I'm saying is open source is better for everyone. Who cares if people steal your stuff if your doing it for non profit
