Something that maybe other people can try who cant enter bootloader screen after installing margldr :)

So you have WindowsMobile running fine now? Have you tried reinstalling HardSPL, Magldr, CWM and installing Android which is what you wanted (I think)?

Well im glad you have a useable HD2 back again at least lol.

Mark.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ph03n!x:
Or try flashing cLK, let the phone charge completely while switched off. Then get back to bootloader, task 29, magldr, CWM and ROM :)

Did anybody ever use the USB TTY selection?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AntiBranding:
Thanks for MAGLDR

[HD2 Android NAND Development] mskip:
Isnt CLK flashed via the bootloader? How is that any good for people who cant get in to bootloader in the first place or was you sugesting it for some other purpose lol :rolleyes:

Mark.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ph03n!x:
By draining the battery out :D

But I have both Mag and cLK (different phones, of course! Bot TMOUS), and never was not able to get into the boot loader. Weird!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mskip:
I agree that draining the battery completely dead and then connecting the charger is the best way to attempt to gain entry to the bootloader.

It is a very strange condition but quite a few people have reported it (only since magldr was developed) that after flashing magldr the phone lost the capability of entering bootloader screen.

Mark.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] clio94:
the "bootloader problem" can also happen without flashing magldr.Ηere is a post in a greek forum http://www.myphone.gr/forum/showthread.php?p=3728879#post3728879 and the member says that his hd2 cannot enter bootloader so he cant install nand android.The solution was that he changed the motherboard from another hd2 and it work ok.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cotulla:
yeah, it's strange. I remember some people talk about it before, but they had issues with volume keys (?) I am not sure :(

the first one list bad blocks list, the second allow try to mark block as good :)

To be more safe, MAGLDR never marks any block as bad. Only SPL, Radio and OS can do it.

Some bad blocks are "real" and some are "fake". Fake means here that OS mark block as bad, because some operations fails, but it's not bad really.

I won't recommend to use "unbad" command without proper experience. because results are not very clear.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rick_1995:
Surely is an issue related to the keys, in no way can magldr interfere with SPL routines as magldr is flashed like WM6.5 in os.nb and it does not modify SPL partition.

So where is the bad block list stored ? and can it be user modified if the OS is unable to do so ? (ie. Android/Ubuntu on leo ?)

what will the unbad command do other than corrupt the data at most ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cotulla:
Bad block list are not stored. Each sector has own "attirbutes area" and there stored different stuffs. One field there means "block is bad". badblocks just scan all blocks after itself and list blocks with this flag set. It's somekind of "software badblock". "hardware badblock" - write or erase operation fails (NAND controller returns bad status).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rick_1995:
hmm, quite different from how the x86~x64 arch defines handling of bad blocks.

So if the software (ie. SPL, WM) are able to mark bad blocks why don't they skip them ? (look up angeldeath's thread on issues due to bad blocks by excessive flashing for debugging etc.) instead of the controller returning bad data :/

yaffs2 block wear leveling also does not seem to help much.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cotulla:
x86~x64 dont defines bad blocks too ;)

it's NAND memory term. maybe you means HDD bad blocks? :)

They skip them. And MAGLDR skip them. And bad blocks must cause issues only at write/erase operations.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rick_1995:
Yeah, by x86~x64 i meant to point to the PC-Desktop domain :p

The new SSD controllers have a neat bad block logic just like SMART in the earlier spindle disks, they have extra blocks reserved at the tail of the cylinder for remapping of bad blocks. Altough i also understand implementing this would be next to impossible on LEO as i don't think any one will be able to flash the nand controller firmware with a working code :[

I am not quite sure if this is true as there are many posts from people reporting huge number of bad blocks (8~10+) and with wierd problems in android with no matter what build while WM6.5 works purely fine.

hey guys did the project about updating magldr died?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TheInVisibleGoD:
Really!? C'mon... is not that much difficult to just read the previous pages! ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DomZ:
Hi Cotulla, nice to speak you again :) (I was an early MAGLDR adopter on IRC)

I saw some guys asking you to add PPP support in MAGLDR.

One thing I've observed about data connection.

I've moved from Android to WP7 (I used Android one year and I will do the same on WP7, and finally do a choice... HD2 is a great device for that :p).

On WP7, the data connection is more stable than on Android, but I think is due to an internal system optimization that android doesn't have (or maybe because android driver is less robust) because magldr version was the same.

Also when I was on Android, PPP was the worst for me (lots of disconnections). You added RMNET support in one of the last MAGLDR versions and it was more stable.

So please, since it's nearly perfect on WP7, try to get a way to get the current behaviour working in next MAGLDR :d

Thanks a lot
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fi3ry_icy:
funny thing is how data connection on the very pioneer SD android builds were blazing fast and stable (at least they were for me)..

if it is the same case of stable, fast data connection on those pioneer sd android builds for most people as well, could it be possible for devs and chiefs to take a look at them and possible come up with a fix?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] stirkac:
that's because hw and stuff was initialized in WM 6.5. i hope you didn't think every chef/developer just forget everything about sd builds...

Big problem with MGLDR v1.13 - Help

Good afternoon, I wonder if anyone has had the this problem I'm having. when I go to AD recovery in aMGLDR v1.13. Appears this error - ivalind boot image header.

How can I fix this without losing what I have in the mobile phone?

How do I upgrade the ROM I have not be this way?

My mobile phone is the android htc hd2 with 2.3.4

My one request for the next version of magldr. Would it be possible to flash wp7, android, CWM, etc. from sd? I, and many others apparently, have a broken usb port

and can't use the romupdateutility.exe. (I'm replacing my microusb tomorrow but apparently the D+ pin broke off of the mainboard completely so I can only use usb for charging.)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ketzazu:
I have the same issue. My error is "no boot services".

Do I have to flash CWM in order to use that option "AB Recovery"?

Tytung's instructions for updating to his kernel are to 1) Copy his "zip files" to SD card 2)enter MAGLDR menu 3) choose "AB Recovery 4) choose "install from zip. However, I can not get to "AB Recovery.

Any more detailed instructions or do I need CWM also along with MAGLDR 1.13?

Thanks!

Yes, you need CWM to have a working AD Recovery in MAGLDR.

ClockworkMod w/mgldr & Android on SD

I have an HD2 with magldr 1.13 and Windows Mobile 7 in NAND and [SD/MAGDLR] MccMBoxmaX GS V9 Gingerbread 2.3.3[Sense 2.1+3.0]3D Effect 720p on an SD card.

ROM Manager is cooked into this SD Android Build. I used ROM Manager to install ClockWorkMod 3.1.0.0.

magldr auto boots Android from the SD card very nicely (thank you)!

If I boot to the magldr menu and select "AD Recovery" I get "No Boot Services".

Because I am sharing the SD card between Windows Mobile 7 and Android there are two partitions on the SD card.

Partition 1: FAT32 Primary 7.42 GB (Android Boots from here)

Partition 2: Other Primary 7.32 GB (Windows Mobile 7 Installed Here)

There is a clockworkmod directory in the root directory of the FAT32 partition.

How do you want to flash new magldr with a broken usb port...?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rick_1995:
rename the magldr nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh and place it on ur sdcard using an sdcard reader and go to the Bootloader (tri color screen) with the sdcard in, press power button and there you have it, MAGLDR without usb.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] clio94:
Yes it will work this way. But after this, if the new magldr isn't compatible with existing nand partitions you will need usb to make the new partitions.

Sent from my HD2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] codiak:
You can also do this with CWM from AD Recovery.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] clio94:
you mean that we can change nand partitions directly from cwm,without the use of a pc;
[HD2 Android NAND Development] JesusFreak316:
You can flash CWM through MAGLDR now? Last I heard you still needed USB for that. I knew about renaming it to leoimg.nbh and flashing through sd but you weren't able to flash CWM or roms that way. I guess that was old info. Moot point for me anyways; I got a replacement phone dirt cheap off Craigslist. Also, WP7 flashing still requires usb but I guess wince WP7 is so dependent on the Zune software it'd be pretty hard to use it without usb anyways so it's not worth the trouble.

Then Noobs should be doing alot more research before flashing something if they have no idea what it does. I would never think of flashing anything to my phone until I knew exactly what all the consequences are.

Also as this is in the Android NAND Development thread it would be a good bet that the member wanted to put a NAND Android Rom on their phone which would mean that NAND Windows Mobile would be overwritten anyway.

Amazing news that you still support magldr!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] amh82:
I've had a problem with Magldr 1.13 ever since I went across to this bootloader and android builds on my HD2. Never really bothered me too much before, but due to another issue it is now quite annoying!!

Basically, when I power my phone down it turns off as normal. Then when I power up, 99% of the time Magldr freezes, just sits there with black screen and the 'aMAGLDR V1.13' header. If I remove the battery and try again it will always boot up as normal (i.e. this screen, then the 123456 GO GO GO!).

The reason it is annoying now, is for some reason, when I remove the battery on my HD2 it loses the time & date - this is another issue, any ideas? Internal battery or capacitor?

So, for the Magldr problem, has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on why it does this? I'm considering re-flashing Magldr to see if it makes any difference, but thought I'd ask first.

Hope someone can help.

hi everyone,

i had this rom (NDT v8.0) for about three months now, and i upgraded my pc's windows from vista to 7. now, when i open the "usb flasher" part, the second "usb" doesn't come up, means it's not working. in the devices and printers, i found this "MAGLDR" in the "unspecified" zone, and windows doesn't recognize it. it needs a driver, and i couldn't find any driver for magldr to install.

(when i enter the android on the phone, it works good, i can see it, exchange files or anything like it supposed to be, but in usb flasher, i can't flash a new rom, PLEASE HELP !) :confused:

Looks like you forgot to update the Radio to a 2.**.50.** Radio before flashing Magldr. If this is the case then you can enter bootloader screen, connect the usb cable and flash a new Radio via the customruu method. This should fix your white screen.

other key then "green" receiver for "ok"?

I have installed MAGLDR for my HD2 today - everything works perfect, except of one thing... My "receiver" key (1st left) does not work, and while in WM 6.5 it was actually no problem (always something on the screen to accept, etc) ... here, at MAGLDR, it makes accepting selection impossible... My HD2 is long after guarantee period (it was one of the first one available in Poland), and I just wanted Android on it, but it seems that I wont be able to achieve that, unless...

Yes, unless.

Unless there is some way to redefine "ok" key from "receiver" to whatever else, like "home".

Is there such way? Recompile source of MAGLDR (if there's source anywhere?) Ask the developer to do that (trying to bribe him with barrel of beer?)

greets, M.

Well. Warranty is 1 year here in Poland. Even if I send it to HTC Poland, they will refuse to repair it, and will send it to Polish service company. Paid ofc.

By the way I just managed to read what the MAGLDR echoes to screen at start - about booting Android from SD (which i dont have yet on SD, so I guess Magldr just goes by default to selection screen)

Does it mean, that I can try to make Android at SD (prepare it somehow outside of the phone) and Magldr will boot it automagically? Any hint for that please?
