Another "Please help me" thread

---

Hi, first of all I'm new here and I'm a complete noob/ignorant, my English is not going to be great and I might have infringed some rule/s with the title of this thread, but I just couldn't think of a better title.

I know you're going to tell me I should've read guides, tutorials, etc, but all this is very new and complicated to me, I'm sorry. I'd appreciate a lot some help, some tips.

The problem seems simple at first: My girlfriend just bought a used HTC HD2 (my idea..), because that's exactly what I did some months ago (with a great success). My idea was to flash TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 on it, because it's the ROM I use and it works very well. The problem is: This used HD2 had already been flashed and it has this ROM running (Tonofu HD 1.3). When I flashed mine I used the PC program "Easy Android" so it was very easy, whereas this one already has Android, MAGLDR 1.13 and all that stuff, so it's not like doing it from the beginning, from the factory-state. Know what I mean? I don't know how to do it from this point.

We downloaded the app ROM Manager but when we tap on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" it asks us to "Confirm Phone Model" and only HTC Desire appears in that list.

So I said, OK, let's try install ClockworkMod manually (because it's not installed, it seems). And here comes the BIG problem, neither the laptop nor the PC recognize the phone through the USB cable. We tried on both computers, all the ports... and nothing, absolutely nothing appears on the screen. So, of course, when we got into MAGLDR and chose the USB Mass Storage option (so we could install CWM manually) we couldn't do it.

So... how could I install the ROM I want when the phone has already a ROM running? How could I do that without connecting the phone to a computer through USB? Or do you know what might be causing this USB problem? Would a factory reset fix this USB issue? Would it be easier to install the ROM after a factory reset?

A lot of questions, I know... but I need help... I don't have a lot of time... Thank you.

For both via CWR:
Download the *_CWR.zip file onto sdcard
Go into recovery by either holding home key in cLK or using the 8. AD to recovery in MAGLDR
Note: recovery-partition size of minimum 5MB needed
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Choose zip from sdcard
Navigate/Select the recovery from the sdcard
Select yes to install the recovery
reboot into recovery, and hooray, you are in the new recovery

this is what you need if you only need to manually install cwm.

Ok for some reason I can not get the HTC Mania site to load on my laptop or my Sensation. So I can not see if that ROM that is flashed via a DAF and option #5 USB Flasher in MAGLDR. But if the HD2 does not have CWM installed on it then it must be one. Also if The Mall has went to both option #2 SD AD and option #8 AD Recovery in MAGLDR and there is now recovery then the process that geniusjl discribed will not work as it is no CWM to flash CWM with. Besides if CWM is already installed The Mall would not have this problem.

Now back to the original question of what to do. First go and download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. Install the toolkit on you computer and open it up. Look at the bottom right corner of the toolkit window and click on Download Drivers and then follow the instructions to install the drivers. This will allow your computer to recognize the HD2 when you plug it up via USB. Next click on MAGLDR Update Recovery at the top of the toolkit window and then connect you HD2 via USB to your computerand click on update at the bottom left hand cornewr of the toolkit window. Follow all the on screen instructions and this will flash CWM 4.0.0.0 to your HD2. Then you can download the ROM you want and place it on the root of your SD card and use CWM to flash it.

Thanks! I'm going to try.

Damn.. we have a problem, we installed the Toolkit but when clicking on Download Drivers the link is broken. (cdn.nex.im/hd2_installer/download/hd2_drivers_ksubedi.zip)
Do you know another site we can download the drivers from?

Edit: I finally found this source: mediafire.com/?jf8xbyo2ro0z01z
Edit2: No, that's not it... damn, I need somewhere to download the drivers from.

I can't find any website to download the drivers from. HD2 NAND Toolkit takes me to a broken link so I can't download them. Help, please?

i was under the impression that this HD2 has MAGLDR and everything from the original post.

navigate to "clean install cLK", download the package. and you will find the driver included in the package. that driver should work too.
