Which partitions are you using for cwm? If you are using 1.2 you need to manually copy the initrd and zimage files to your sd card. If you are using 1.3 partitions then you boot into cwm via AD Recovery. To get to the magldr menu, switch device on and keep holding power button until the menu appears.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Jznwlnl:
Thank you for your answer. I am a little further, now I am in the menu and I choose for USB flasher. But I still miss the initrd file(I deleted by excident).

I think that's the reason that he don't flash the ROM on my device.

Can you(or someone else) send me the initrd.gz file?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ClydeB1:
As I asked previously - are you using 1.2 or 1.3? If 1.2 the files should be in the partition you downloaded. If 1.3 you no longer need the files.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] b-16707:
thanks cotulla! what an amazing program!

after some 6hrs of not getting it to work i figured it out

so i know the thread is over 100pages now so i will repost what i did in case anyone is having trouble.

was moving from artemis at 3.14 WWE. i realized even if it was the WWE version, since my phone was originally from india, i still needed to reinstall the indian 1.48 ROM (remember, no such thing as 1.66 rom version for india) to delete my SPL 3.03 so i could get 2.08. after poking around i found that rom, installed it.

now i could install 2.08.HSPL (not the .0000 one). after, installed MAGLDR, but froze up my device on the reboot at the HTC white logo screen. i thought i had bricked my phone but i just reset it with reset button+vol down which bought me back to the rainbow screen. then i re-reinstalled the indian 1.48 rom to get everything back to normal.

radio 2.15 is indeed the one to go with. installed that, reinstalled MAGLDR, installed the 400mb recovery, popped in sd with RAFDROID loaded and now im running RAFDROID perfectly!

woohoo! hope that helps people not have to scroll back 100 pages like i had to...for now.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sodeknetters:
so now you're running an SD build from SD through magldr, if i understand correcly.

why do I get the impression that is totally missing the point of magldr??

the great thing about magldr is that you can actually USE the internal flash memory (NAND memory) of the phone to load a useful operating system, instead of having to rely on SD methods (which are less stable and use more battery)

running android from SD, you don't even need magldr at all!? just use haret.exe from WM6.5, auto boot, done.

SD booting option may be of temporary use (while you are still trying out NAND builds and/or configuring them to your wishes) but not permanently, it seems...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tobiascrystal:
He said he popped in his SD, now I'm only guessing but if you read again he implies that he installed CWM 400MB partition so again I'm assuming, but I bet he had the Rom on his SD to load using CWM.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sodeknetters:
Yes.. now you mention it, seems logical.. thx
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xda2_haseeb:
I have a great idea ... what of we can give MAGLDR a GUI so that we can either boot into any OS or use that GUI to only surf around internet over wifi or mobile network or could also make calls nothing else :) that would make MAGLDR supercool

PS: im talking about something like what comes with latest Asus motherboards, called Asus Gateway i suppose
[HD2 Android NAND Development] marcimix:
I have good idea too. We need faster boot :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] grebeca:

Great job Cotulla , go go go :):):):):):D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SharpKami:
Installed magldr 1.3 without any problems but on the menu screen i see 10 or so options to choose from and none of them takes me no where i cant even get into windows now.Wph option says kernal is missing and i dont have any android version installed so no point trying that out. What should i do ?

Please someone help
[HD2 Android NAND Development] huggs:
You no longer have Windows on your phone. But you're very close to having Android on it though :D

You now need to flash Clockworks Recovery:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898913

And then put a CWM/zip Android ROM from here:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928

onto your SD card. If it's in a .7z file, extract it, and there should be a .zip file.

Put the .zip on your SD card, not the .7z

Then boot into Clockwork by turning on your phone and from the list of options, you scroll down by using your volume keys to AD Recovery and press the green phone button (the one with the reciever facing up in case you have all-white buttons)

Once Clockwork loads up, choose 'install zip from sd card', green phone button to accept, then 'choose zip from sd card'.

Choose the .zip file that is your new Android ROM, and it will say 'transferring files' or something very similar, and when it's done, you have Android on NAND

When it's finished, choose 'reboot system now'

If it takes you back to MAGLDR, choose Boot AD NAND, and Android will boot up.

From there on, Android will boot up by itsself without extra steps :)

You can use Clockworks Recovery to do a full backup of whatever ROM you use, then you can try new ROMs without losing anything, because you can always re-flash your old ROM and restore it with Clockworks and it's just like it was when you backed it up :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SharpKami:
Man thats a lot of trouble u went through for me , i really appriciate that ,thank you but the purpose of me installing magldr was so that i can boot from Sd card without going into windows to boot the android installed on my sd coz thats how i want to keep it , windows mobile for my main operating system and android on the SD coz i find windows 6.5 alot more stable than the android. Is that possible ? or im wasting my time and urs.

Thnx for the reply and sorry to confuse u

Cheers

P.s Before i gave anyone a chance to help me I kind of panicked and flashed my old rom.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] godlyitem:
I've already entered the flash mode, but somehow everytime when i clikc install, the program always says the USB connection is not found...im in 1.12 btw
[HD2 Android NAND Development] huggs:
Nah, not alot of trouble, no problem :cool:

I see what you're wanting to do, but no, MAGLDR erases WinMo from NAND, so it's no longer on your phone.

What you want, or closest you'll get to what you want rather, is an app that you install in Windows Mobile called Exceller's Boot Loader.

Just use the forums search function with the keyword Exceller and you should be able to find it.

What it does is kinda automates the Android boot process from the sd card, so you don't have to go into your file explorer to tap CLRCAD and HaRET every time, and it's got some really great options that make booting up Android faster, easier, and maybe even saves you some battery.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] huggs:
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you need 1.13 to flash Clockwork
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ClydeB1:
If you are trying to upgrade to magldr 1.13 from 1.12 you need to go to bootloader mode (multi-coloured screen) NOT magldr flash mode. Connect to pc and run romupdateutility.exe.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alexye:
Good update from 1.12, finally able to get cwm working fully.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ClydeB1:
No, you only need magldr 1.13 to run the latest cwm version (ie cwm 1.3). Earlier cwm versions work on magldr 1.11 and 1.12.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] masterpier:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong

I tried installing the new magldr 1.1.3. I am not having any luck. Here are the steps I took. I put the phone into the tri-color mode plugged in the USB cable, it then changed from serial to USB on the TRI-Color screen. I then went into the magldr folder and right clicked on the romupdate utility executable and executed it using admin priviledges. I went through the wizard and hit update and the process started but it just stays stuck on 0 percent on both the phone and PC. Not sure if I need to completely wipe the phone before trying to install it from scratch. Any help anyone can offer with this issue would be appreciated. Thank you.

:confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] b-16707:
i had the same problem but fixed it. what OS/version are you running right now? did you first get HSPL 2.08 running (HSPL 2.08.HSPL, not the .0000 version)? this may require you to revert back to a old version of the original HTC HD2 ROM.

you need HSPL 2.08 AND radio 2.15. before installing magdlr
[HD2 Android NAND Development] masterpier:
Humm I had magldr 1.12 loaded on it and I believe before I even installed MAGLDR 1.12 that it needed HSPL 2.08. Do you think I need to install HSPL 2.08 once again before updating to MAGLDR 1.13? I already have the correct radio. So let me know what you think.:confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ego-mike:
cant install.....

ROMUPDATE....ok. ok. now i got it i think...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] truckerdewd:
No you don't need to reload HSPL 2.08
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
I can't figure where's the prob....it's shows me this error when i trying to install MAGLDR 1.13.

An error has occurred

Edit:

I found a solution!!!

Go to -->ROMUpdateUtility.exe

Right Click---> Run as administartor

Ignore DWI Just run ROMUpdateUtility.exe !!!

And the MAGLDR 1.13 will be installed on your device properly

Tested by me from 1 min. ago :)

Good Luck :)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] ClydeB1:
That's not a solution, that's just following the instructions.

Are you running the daf.exe file or as is clearly stated on the first page (and 2 posts up and probably on every second page since 1.13 was released) - you need to run romupdateutility.exe

How can i carge my Phone when the accu is totally empty.

With MAGLDR 1.13 the htc hd2 boots when i plug my charger...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sodeknetters:
Easy-plug charger; push power button once @ sim unlock screen. Wait 2 1/2 hours, battery full. Unlock sim and start using.

Switch to low intensity backlight and 2g only to preserve battery once it runs low, so that you do not run it as empty as forced shutdown. Lousy on/off 3g reception with frequent reconnects will suck your battery dry in only a few hours... dont underestimate the power saving of 2g only.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] galatei:
Hi, I just upgraded magldr from 1.12 to 1.13, and whenever I shutdown or restart android (NAND), it turns black, but screen stays on (if you know what I mean - easily seen in the dark), and buttons are lit. When I press power button again, it goes off, pwr btn again and comes to dark lit again, and then just reboots, no matter if I've chosen shutdown or reboot before.

Any clues ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] galatei:
Easy, upgrading from 1.11/1.12 to 1.13 doesn't brake the actual ROM, so all you need to do is:

- power down the phone

- power up + keep vol down pressed -> goes to rainbow screen with HSPL

- connect usb cable

- run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from MAGLDR113_DAF package

- continue to the end

- reboot (you may need to do it twice) and voila, Android should still be there

Basically all of that is on page 1 as well

Why won't the bootloader screen change from serial to usb after I plug in my usb cord to my hd2? So frustrating :(

Yes, you have to have either ActiveSync / Windows Mobile Device Center installed, or just the HTC USB Sync drivers in order for the PC to recognize the HTC bootloader as a device.

I'm facing some problems with version 1.13 (also with 1.11). In almost all cases (BOOT AD SD, AD Recovery, BOOT AD NAND) I get a "1EFATAL Hit 1" error, instead of 1234....

My configuration:

- 2.15 Radio

- MAGLDR 1.13

- Sandisk 4 and 2 gb SD card

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=918899&page=294 is the rom I want to install (via CWM)

This what I have tried:

1) Format SD card, Reinstall Magldr 1.13, Reinstallation of 150mb recovery file.

Result: still the 1EFATAL error

2) Formatted new SD card, new try (BOOT AD SD).

Result: 1EFATAL error

Sometimes it works and restart is succesfull. For example I did backup my NAND via CWM without any troubles. In some the HD2 is getting stuck after "go go go!"

B.T.W. the CWM backup of the rom has the modified date of 1980...

Re-enable usb connections in active sync, reboot computer. Worked for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] truckerdewd:
It has nothing to do with active synch. I don't have it on my pc and mine connects just fine. Your pc is not recognizing your phone. You may have a bad usb port or your cable is bad.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MattOG:
Just stating what I did. It didn't work before, and did work after.. Both cable and port are fine.

As a side, you need a connectivity driver. One of the ways to get that is via active sync. Without active sync, your computer has at some point installed that driver. If it was installed via active sync, disabling usb connections disables the driver, therefore enabling them would work if he has it installed.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] truckerdewd:
Mine were installed when I upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7. It automatically looked for the drivers in Windows when I plugged the phone I had at the time, which was a Motorola Cliq, into it.

ROMUpdateUtility.exe on-screen instructions indicate "Establish an ActiveSync" connection with your PDA Phone". That isn't working for me since installing the Android ROM. I've tried to use MAGLDR 1.11's USB Massstg, and USB Flash in the hopes one of them would established the USB connect the MAGLDR 1.13 installation exe is asking for. No luck. So, I'm unable to continue with installations for Clockworkmod, or other Android ROM's until I get MAGLDR 1.13 installed. I'm new to this and seriously considering going back to WinMo6.5 simply due to the complexity and amount of time this is taking. Tried looking for help in these forums, but with the forum search tool down for over a day (despite the "please try again in 20-30 minutes") it's virtually impossible to sift through the sea of techno jargan in all the posts. YouTube videos haven't been much help either, most focus on the installation of the clockwork mod and not MAGLDR 1.13. Perhaps I'm the only one having problems installing MAGLDR 1.13. It's 1 a.m., have to get up at 6 for work today. For all the praise and glee here about MAGLDR 1.13, I wish I could share in it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] truckerdewd:
One question, did you go into bootloader? You don't need active synch. Also, don't plug in usb cable until you are in bootloader and it says serial.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wistiworks:
So many variables. Was finally able to install MAGLDR 1.13. Could not get my HD2 to connect as USB with my PC. Got it to the tri-color screen and it would only show SERIAL. Tried unplugging and replugging the USB cable. Nothing. Just that windows sound about USB connection failure. Then, by chance, while in the tri-color screen, I tried to power off the phone. SERIAL was gone at that point, with the bottom white box blank, then POW, up pops USB! Joy and elation! ...all by chance. I went to install MAGLDR 1.13 and CLANK, error, couldn't access the magldr.nbh file. Somewhere in my tired brain I though, "hmm, maybe, just maybe, the files in that download are corrupt". Downloaded a fresh set and sure enough the flash of MAGLDR 1.13 worked! Sorry for blathering on, you all seem to be able to write such short posts. Guess I just needed to talk this one through with the post-o-sphere.
