[HD2 Android NAND Development] maff1989:
Ok.. I was gonna do this in it's own thread but I have to do something about it now. This is too painful seeing so many people getting this wrong when there's such beauty to behold in this NAND. :p

The following is a list of my own instructions with the method I used to successfully flash NANDroid to my TMOUS HD2. They will be as detailed as humanly possible to prevent any conflict. Here goes...

Environment: Windows 7 Ultimate x64, logged in as Adminstrator. NOT running Safe Mode. AntiVirus was NOT disabled for MAGLDR nor NANDroid installations

1) Turned phone off from Windows Mobile after copying my previous Android build from the SD to the Hard Disk Drive (HDD). REMOVED SD CARD AT THIS POINT.

2) Downloaded both RAR's, MAGLDR 1.10 and the NAND package. Unrar'd them both to organized directories.

**Battery was 64% at this point.**

3) Downloaded and installed Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows 7 x64. If you're running Vista, this will work as well. for XP users, download and install the latest Microsoft ActiveSync

NOTE:​

For me, all of the drivers installed properly. Also, I skipped the sync setup after the WMDC installation and went straight into the program. I turned the phone on after this and synced successfully.
​

4) Ran the MAGLDR 1.10 setup and successfully installed. Went from 0% to 100% instantaneously. No issues.

5) Phone rebooted automatically into the MAGLDR boot menu. I selected Option #10 and hit the green phone hard key to confirm my selection. The USB cable was INDEED plugged in. After this step, My phone screen went black, not off, and the orange LED remained on even after the phone was "off" with the USB cable unplugged. A battery pull fixed this (kept USB unplugged obviously) and I was able to boot into MAGLDR again. :)

6) After MAGLDR booted, I plugged in the USB and selected the "USB Flash" option. At this point, drivers were installed for the USB to connect, and the connection status showed "USB...USB". This means the connection was successful.

7) I then I opened DAF.exe and proceeded with the installation of NANDroid. It found the USB connection with no issue. The whole process took around 6-7 VERY long, painstaking minutes hehe. ;)

NOTE:​

After my first boot, I inserted the SD card that was NOT formatted and still had an entire Android installation within it. I booted the phone and the loader got stuck at the "GO! GO! GO!" stage. I booted the phone again after a battery pull and THEN put the SD card in, unmounted it, formatted it (it remounted automatically afterwards), and shut down the phone. I booted again, and there was no problem from there.​

That's the entire installation!! I fully recommend taking out the SD card prior to running any .exe's as this is the safest way to handle it, especially if you can't quickly and easily format the disk (formatting within Android AFTER installing NANDroid is the most compatible format, and is your best bet to get things running smooth as silk. ;))

I would also highly recommend a few shut down/reboot combinations just to make sure everything works more than once before any customization. Also, do not sign into any social networks or your Gmail account, as APN settings need to be customized. Do all that after your 1st-2nd reboot.

If you have any questions, concerns, or if you want to thank me personally for these instructions, you're more than welcome to thank me in a PM (flooding the thread wouldn't be too good, would it?) Good luck flashing!! :D
