[BOOTLOADER] [10 May 2011] Loader v2.10 - MAGLDR 1.13 De-Branded
Hello XDA,
How many of you are waiting for next version of MAGLDR? I am one of them. But in the meantime, how many of you want to make your device work like a native android device? And again, i am one of them. I had been using cLK on my HD2 just because MAGLDR shows a big ass GO GO GO! screen before booting the kernel which kinda annoys me. It was going all fine, until i started having connection problems on 3g network with cLK. I wanted to switch back to MAGLDR just for the network connection but again, i didnt feel like doing it. So i finally decided to do some hex editing to change all the MAGLDR Branded text to something else so that it looks like its officially from HTC and share with you guys. Here are some major changes in text:
Quote:
MAGLDR => Loader
aMAGLDR => Loader
By Cotulla 2011 => HTC Boot Menu
WPH Boot => Windows
AD Boot SD => Android SD
AD Boot NAND => Android Boot NAND
GO GO GO! => Starting!
Better Error Texts
Fixed Some Spelling Mistakes
Changed The First Letter Of Texts To Capital (Not Everywhere)
Lot More....
This is based on the latest 1.13 MAGLDR by Cotulla. I didn't make this and all the credits for the bootloader goes to Cotulla and DFT. My camera is out for repair so i couldn't take a picture, but if you have taken a picture, PM the download link to me and i will include it on this post. But here is a basic look of boot menu.

Interesting.... now only if we could charge while the phone is off, hopefully Cotulla and DFT are working on it, as well as increasing the 445MB partition limit to take full advantage of the tmoblie version of our phone 1024mb , so we dont have to make EXT partition on our SD card on the large roms like the doubleshot!!!!

It's better if you can add Charging in offline mode function to it like cLK
Thanks
I would do it if i had the source code, but as it is all hex code, it will be really tough to embed the code without messing up MAGLDR. But i will try
P.S. Just a suggestion for everyone: Pressing the thanks button instead of replying "Thanks" would be awesome as it doesnt clutter up the thread. Don't get it wrong
