  1. Hi .. I tried to install MAGLDR on my hd2 …. and now it doesn’t work anymore .. when i power i up i is stuck on a white screen and HTC … what can i do …. i followed the instructions and came to the ”congratulations” screen in the update utillity ..

          • It looks ok with the upgrade and it tells me that it is upgraded …. but when it restarts it is stuck in the startup-screen. The one with the HTC on the screen. When I try to make a hardreset, it tells me that the hardreset is complet, but when I restart the same thing comes up .. HTC on a white screen …. πŸ™

              • Hi Michael

                once you installed the MAGLDR it means you dont have any rom installed on ur HTC HD ROM. you have to installed the ROM by getting into the MAGLDR bootloder menu.

                just restart you HTC HD2 by keeping power on/off button after 10-20sec it will get into MAGLDR bootloder menu.

  2. sigh….another update…downloadinnggg,…..

    now im using UD 3.2.5, intend to upgrade because i saw a Fm radio here,, the previous one don’t hv..(i mean the live radio not the streaming type app)

    will feedback in few days.

  3. BTW..how to make back up if i want to upgrade 3.2.5 to 3.3 without losing my apps and games..then restore back after finish upgrading..

    Jayce..any link how to do it?…thnx..

    • Just make a backup with ClockworkMod Recovery. You can always restore back if anything bad happen. πŸ˜‰

      Note – you can install this update ROM on top of v3.2.5 if the structure does not change much. But you can always wipe all data and cache, then install clean. After that, try to use Advanced Restore at ClockworkMod Recovery to restore only data and SD EXT.

  5. Jayce….How often does your HTC HD2 freeze? I have MAGLDR 1.13 and Clockworkmod recovery installed on my HD2. I have UltimateDroid 3.3 installed. It freezes at times while I use the internet. Im not sure if should freeze this often. How does everybody elses HTC HD2 work? Did I istall it wrong? What am I missing?

    • Freeze? This term does not happen to me for quite some times. Maybe you can try other Android ROM see.

      By the way, I have HSPL3, radio 2.15, MAGLDR 1.13 and CWM 1.3 on my phone.

    • I installed the UD3.3 on my HD2 and all seems ok. The Market force stops frequently. I can seem to access all the feature of the UD in he settings menu. BUt it works pretty good.

  6. Jayce….Can I start over even though I have HSPL4,MAGLDR 1.13, and CWM 1.3 already on my HTC HD2? Can I reinstall all of it again? Where do I start. It doesnt matter what build I have….it still freezes.

  9. hie, installed this Ultimate Droid 3.3 from Crawlingcity. But after loaded my contacts and calender (around 3M), it keeps complaining not enough internal memory.

    Tried to move the preinstalled applications to SD card but not allowed.

    Any suggestions? thanks

    • How much ClockworkMod Recovery partition layout are you using now? This ROM only requires 150MB. You should have around 200MB internal disk space left then.

      • I have wipe data & cache with ClockworkMod Recovery using v1.3 and partition SD card ext size 4096M swap size 0M. Did I miss something?

          • Dear Jayce,

            I jhave installed ClockworkMod with 400M Partitiion.

            I tried to repeat the above steps with reinstalling the 400M Partition Layout.

            After installing the Ultimate Droid 3.3 from Crawlingcity, I found in setting/applications/Manage Applications – The internal storage in total is only 7.2MB,of which 2.3MB is the preinstalled.

            when I start loading my contacts and appointments, it complains the internal memory is not enough.

            Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  12. hello jayce,

    i want to ask, why is it that everytime i download ROM i get like this, ( boot; META-INF; system )
    this 3 files, and i cannot do anything about it.

    Is this the correct file that i get?

    thanks in advance for your reply…

  13. Hi again Jayce, after reinstalling again and again, the Froyo build by Cotulla, it still freezes and during boot to NAND, after the 1, 2, 3, 4… Fatal Error occur, so I took the batt out and insert it again, sometimes, boot loader just restart and restart, maybe I’ll try a new build, maybe this time the 2.3 build, the one above, hehehehe….
    Got some question Jayce, how to install this build, to I have to install the pre-requisites just like in the 2.2 build or start installing the build… could you help me again, maybe step by step instruction if you don’t mind…. Thanks a look Jayce!

    • to add on, hehehehehe, do I really have to partition my SD card, I’m only running a 4gb SD card, what is your recommended partition, Thanks alot!

      • I absolutely love this rom. The Carousel lags a tiny bit from time to time but its pterty smooth most of the time. I use nexus kang for my live wallpaper and minimalistic text for a custom homescreen. Netflix works great too. If you restart your phone and get your icons replaced by a gray version of the app market its because you moved the app into the sd card. Just remove it and replace it. No overclocking kernel out yet that i know of.

    how to install Ultimate Droid 3.3 [Kernel: Tytung R9] NAND A2SD+ Zip ROM… please help again, thanks!

  18. Hi again, do I have to upgrade my MAGLDR1.11 to MAGLDR1.13 because I will using Recoveryclock 1.2…. just a quick question, thanks.

  19. Hi Jayce….
    Still sleepy, coz’ I work it all out last night, but still no luck.
    After installing CWM, doing the partition and so on… I can install NAND Ultimate Droid, can’t access option 1, run AD to SD… so I flash it back to NAND 2.2, still it hands, freezes and keeps on rebooting and rebooting….
    I’ve figure it out, maybe my MAGLDR got the problem, so my next step maybe flashing it back to Winmo 6.5 then install again Android 2.2 but with updated version of MAGLDR, instead of 1.11 will be using 1.13, hope it works and resolve my problem, the freezing and hanging… and stick to 2.2, that’s the only reason why i’m upgrading to Ultimate Droid… Thanks Jayce for the tons of info, I’ll update you if I succeed….. Wish me luck….

  20. hey jayce, i finally have been able to boot the nand. everything looks fine except i can’t go into settings. it keeps force closing. also i have not been able to connect to internet or add google accout. and wifi will not turn on. it says that i am in 3g service. is there a cure for this?

  21. No luck…. Install back to WinMo stock ROM, reinstall HSPL, Radio, MAGLDR and back to Android… When booting still got 1E FATAL HIT 1…And still freezes….
    Got idea on fixing 1E FATAL HIT 1…? Thanks!

  22. Yup installed it correctly…. Bad to hear that if it is a Hardware issue…. tsk…. By the way thanks Jayce for the instructions….

  24. Hi Jayce:

    Please tell me that how to install Ultimate Droid 3.3 NAND Android A2SD+ Zip ROM on HTC HD2.
    Will the process be same as shown in the above video on this page. Because the files i downloaded from the link on this page are different from the files you showed in video.

  25. Hey Jayce ive a problem my HTC HD2 go not in the BIOS mode i hhave pushed the power butten the whole time but nothing happens i dont know how i come into this mode πŸ™ ive a Telekom HTC HD2

  26. Hi jayce:
    sorry to trouble you again. i tried nand rom for the first timte and i messed up in the end. when the nand started in android after loading the ultimate droid and before it would take me on setup screen it started given me series of “force close” errors. so many errors that i could not even reboot or poweroff device. finally i managed to poweroff the device, reinstall my win 6.5.
    now
    1) please tell me what went wrong.

    2)also if i want to reinstall a nand android do i have to create ext partition as it was already created or should i format my sd card or you suggest me what should i do . i so want to try this rom
    3) please tell me is it a perfectly working rom or not. i am choosing this because it is running launcher ex and not go launcher am i right?

    thanks in advance

    • hey jayce please ignore the above post. I managed to run the other rom through nand. i found out the mistake i was doing. when i created the ext 3 partition it deleted the two files of clock Mode. so after creating the partition added the 2 files again along with the rom zip.

      now i have other queries.

      1) if i want to flash other android nand rom what steps should i take. should i create ext 3 partition every time i use another rom and copy the two files .
      2) i have created 1024 ext 3 partition . what does that mean. is it some thing to do with the data files of the android version that i will install

      i know these are very small issues but lack of technical knowledge of ext 3 partition and stuff i messing up my space or some thing

      thank you in advance

      • hey jayce
        i restored my hd2 with win 6.5 but my sd card which is of 8 gb shows the capacity of 6.5 gb. even though it is completely empty is it because of the ext partition and how to remove it

        sorry for the trouble its just that i am using nand for the first time.

      • 1. Wipe data and cache before install other Android ROM. No need to recreate EXT3 partition.

        2. EXT3 partition is for Android ROM that support A2SD+ to store applications and data there.

  27. Hi jaycee! I am currently using the Ultimate Droid build but a lower version. How do i
    install this latesr version on my htc hd2? Can u pls provide a brief step. And im just wondering, would it be possible to change the clock displayed on the home screen and remove the android tips? I managed to find custom clock apps in the market but i cant install it. Pls help. It would be a big help agian if you could answer my queries. Thanks a lot.

    • You can install directly from previous version if Ultimate Droid system did not change much. But I usually delete all data and cache before installing a new Android ROM.

      Yes, you can change the clock and delete the Android tips. Just hold on it, then delete it.

      • Some of my apps install in phone memory when i download in the android market. Mu settings say though that external memory is the default install location. Why does it install some apps in phone memory? Thanks

  43. hi jacey just want to ask you what is the latest version of android? because i want to install the latest one. as you say Latest build is always the best.. cheers! have a nice day

  44. Hi Jayce, this is my very first post. First i just want to say thank you for all the awesome work you do. I was wondering if you can help me out. I had MIUI droid on my hd2 and i wanted to up grade my phone to the latest version of droid so I loaded Ultimate 3.3. Boots up fine, just 2 issues i NEED HELP, please!
    1) A minor one is when I download from the New Android market the App for the market crashes. So i use the older version and that works. But is there anything that I can do?

    2) A Major one. I cannot send Picture mail thru MMS. But the normal text message works. I dont have internet on my phone but that shouldnt matter, right? Because when I had the MIUI it worked fine. Please help on this one! I tried to install a older version, 3.2.5 and CM7 but its the same result. Is there anything I can do? I use tmobile in California USA. Help please.

  45. Hey Jayce i have a problem with market, works fine the 1st time i use it. But after it asks me about an agreement the second time it just force closes every single time

    • I found it i thought i would share

      Go to settings>applications>manage applications>market then clear cache and uninstall updates.

      Come back to home screen then go into market, accept the T&C’s and download your stuff

      In my opinion UD is if not the then one of the fastest

  46. I have a HTC HD2 that was running windows. I rooted it to NAND android 2.2 using cotulla with a kernel 2.6.32.15-g66fed7-dirty. build number 2.29.405.5 cl293415. and software number 2.29405.5.
    I want to upgrade it to the android 3.3 version. Will the ultimate droid 3.3 work? What are the steps to do this. I have downloaded the file and copied it to the sd card.

  47. I installed UD3.3. Everytime I run Market it gives me the following, “The application Market(process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.” I was restoring all my apps using MYBACKUP PRO (I saved all my backups online) it would repeated say “sparing errors”. I am also trying to do a full install of all the Google Apps but nothing happens. What’s up???

  48. Hi Jayce, I have this configuration on my HD2 but still I have freezes problem. What do you suggest? do i have to try another ROM, can you give me the latest one?

    HSPL: CotullaHSPL3 (SPL-2.08-HSPL)

  50. Yes.and the network bar does not show any signal.it has a cross on it.d network bar came at a time but disapeared nd it has not since.

  51. Hi Jayce

    I’ve tried a few nands recently including this one & keep getting the same problem. I have HSPL4, MAGLDR 1.13 & CWM 1.2. Everything seems to install ok & the nand says complete but on reboot it just goes back into MAGLDR. Tried all the options on MAGLDR but still won’t boot into the nand. I did have Typhoon 2.9.2 installed & working so have managed the android conversion before & have just managed to get Nexus on there but can’t get any of the Desire nands or the latest Typhoon 3.7.0 to work. I must be doing something wrong but what!!?? πŸ˜‰

    Thanks

  52. Good morning JAYCE.
    Before I had a HTC HD2 Windows phone. Then I replaced to Android version 2.2.1 (Jaws -MIUI) from windows phone as per your Vedio instruction. Its really awesome smooth running. You are really great. I salute you, Brother.

    Now, I like to use “Ultimate droid 3.3 Nand” from Android version 2.2.1 (Jaws -MIUI). How can I install it. You have no Vedio guide ! Waiting for your reply.
    Thanks//
