Installation

Before we proceed any further, let’s jump directly to the installation procedure for MAGLDR so that you can install it to your device if you want, and then later go through the feature tour with us while being able to access these features on your device at the same time as well.   Disclaimer: Please follow this guide at your own risk. AddictiveTips will not be liable if your device gets damaged or bricked during the process.
Requirements:

• HTC HD2. (Both LEO512 (standard) and LEO1024 TMOUS (T-Mobile USA) versions supported)
• PC running Windows XP or later.
• microUSB cable for connecting the HD2 to the PC.
• Battery of your HD2 charged to 50% or more before you proceed.
• Microsoft ActiveSync (Windows XP) or WIndows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista / 7).
• HardSPL 2.08 installed on the HD2. (See how to install HardSPL 2.08 on HTC HD2)
  
• A 2.**.50.** radio that supports 576 RAM. 2.15.50.14 radio is recommended. (See how to install 2.15.50.14 Radio to HTC HD2)
  
• MAGLDR 1.13 (Download and extract the contents of the file to your PC using 7-Zip or WinRAR)
  

Procedure:

• In case your phone is running Windows Mobile, simply connect it to your computer via USB while ActiveSync is running. In case it doesn’t have Windows Mobile installed or you can’t get ActiveSync to recognize it, put it into bootloader mode:
• Power off your HTC HD2.
• Press the Volume-Down button on your phone, keep it pressed and press the Power button.
• Keep both the buttons pressed until you see the red, green, blue and white bootloader screen and then release both buttons.


• Now connect your phone to your PC via USB. If this is the first time you’re connecting your phone to the PC in bootloader mode, wait for the drivers to be installed automatically. The term ‘Serial’ in the white area of the screen should now change to ‘USB’.
  
• On your PC, browse to the folder where you extracted MAGLDR 1.13 and run ROMUpdateUtility.
  
• Confirm that you understand the caution by ticking the checkbox and click Next.
• Confirm that you have completed the required steps by ticking the checkbox and click Next.
• Click ‘Update’ and on each of the next two screens, click ‘Next’. MAGLDR installation will now begin and your phone will show the progress. It should take just a few seconds. Your phone will reboot once the installation has finished. You may now click ‘Finish’ in the ROM Update Utility.

Congratulations! You now have MAGLDR installed on your phone.
Entering MAGLDR

Once it has been installed, you can enter MAGLDR at any time by powering your phone off and then turning it on by keeping the Power key pressed until you see the MAGLDR options list.
Now that you have MAGLDR installed and you know how to boot into it, lets take a tour of all the awesome features this bootloader offers.
