Hi kids! After flashing my USA Tmobile XDA with the 1.2 SPED Roms :lol: I decided to get brave and try flashing it with the new WM2003 rom floating around. Everything went great until I tried the final hard reset... it boots up but wont get past the Rocket/O3 screen.
I followed the procedures to flash the radio with the AT&T Siemens upgrade (for always-on GPRS, as some users suggested), and it seemed as though everything went off without a hitch.
Either way, I flashed it back to the 1.2 SPED rom's and it's working great again, but I'd really like to try wm2003.
Any pointers?

Confirming you did a SD install, Right?
If so there was no need for hard reset. :shock:

Yeah... I did an SD install... well when I say hard reset, all I did was power off the device, wait 60 seconds (as the instructions suggested) and power it back on... and that's when I couldn't get past the startup screen...

Do you think the size of the SD card would matter?
When I backed up my original Tmobile ROMs onto an SD via the bootloader, it wouldn't back it up to a 32 meg SD card (a card that I had here already). I had to run out and buy a 64 meg card. However, when I used the PC and reader/writer to load the new roms onto the card, it took it all on the 32 meg card without complaining. Wonder if that has something to do with it?

Hey guys, got a huge problem, I rooted my HTC Magic, it was working and all, but now (I'm using Fatality HERO) it doesn't startup, it gets stuck on the HERO screen. Even worse is my phone turned itself off after saying SD Card corrupted.... and now when I cm recovery, it doesn't recongise the damn SD card, I've tried the reset thing by holding home and back, I'm totally lost. HELP!

32a or 32b?
32B, although I seemed to have fixed it. I dug out the original 2GB MicroSD, put another Fatality ROM on it, and reflashed the ROM on, works now I'm wondering what to do with my 8GB mSD card though. Should I pop it back into my HTC a reformat it? Or will it kill the phone again?

I just use this thing.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
Or the built in one in the RAv1.2.1 recovery rom.
Haha fixed that too Lolz!
ok so rather than realize that the sd card was the problem, you rebooted and wiped your phone. the first step you should have taken was to reformat the sd card. when you use the sd card to run apps there is a higher chance of corruption.
Nah, it said the SD was corrupt, wouldn't let me format, then my phone ran out of battery, which was Then my problem started because obv. it doesn't mount the SD card, and my backup image is on there. When I booted up, it got stuck on the HERO screen... blah blah..... Well, it's working now, although, now with a formatted SD, I don't have a backup of my original ROM, which is lame. I was lucky to have a spare SD, or I would have been done for!
MOD EDIT
Thread moved to general discussion as not rom related
The Fatal1ty ROM has a problem with SD cards, every time you mount via USB and then unmount, it tells you the card has corrupted. After you reboot your phone it comes back though. I would use one of the other Hero ROMs instead.
ur ans

almost every 2 days i have to format my sd card, it keeps getting corrupt :/ i am using fatal1tys hero rom, but i cant update another rom because i always get an error message when i try to load a rom, i have a 32b mytouch
Tried posting in general and no helpful replies so im going to try here.
original post - hi there. i bought a new class 6 8gb Micro sd card about a week ago.
When my phone was using the class 2 card my phone with an installed rom and was working perfectly. In the following sequence, i started using my new card. formatted the card to FAT32 and then booted into fastboot and formatted it into fat32-ex2-linux. reboot my phone with the new card in still and all it does is loop over and over.
i put my old sd card back in and the phone boots right away. is ther anywhere in the sequence which tells you guys im going wrong and if so can someone please advise me on which way to go?
thank you very much
edit - did a data wipe and fresh install with the class 6 sd card and it does the same again. looping over and over on the boot screen. will be going back to the class 2 for now
for your info this phone is a voda magic. 32b. cheers
Update -
quick update on the situation. Wiped the card, reformatted all with new partitions and success! it booted with new rom etc.
after around an hour my phone had turned itself off. only way to turn it back on was to pull the battery and then power on. after around the same amount of time the phone did the same.
i pulled the card. phone powered on and then stayed on. very strange
someone give me some help please!!
thanks
have you try format your card using recovery? Amon_Ra recovery is very usefull..there is an automat format SDcard in to 3 partition..as far as i know..you just need to configure each partition size according to what rom you are going to install..
if amon_ra's recovery doesnt work for you (it should work great) you can download GParted Live and format it using that... its a great tool for this you can get it here:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
i have tried formatting through recovery images also. why do u guys think the card turns the phone off?
im just lost here

bump!!!!!!
did it work?
no afraid not. same old story. what do u think the problem is?
What rom are you using? maybe a bad DL...
any and every one i can just to test it.
everything stable just on my class 2. have ordered another class 6 8gb card will let u know how i get on
okai, so, heres the long and short of it. WP7 on NAND, Hspl3'd, 2.15 radio and a range of SD Cards, the one I'm using currently is a 16gb Kingston Class 4 but the problem also appears on the standard HTC card that came with the phone and a 4gb Sandisk Class 4 (This leading me to believe it isn't and SD problem).
The phone flashes all correctly and boots back into MAGLDR, i then reset MAGLDR (just in case, ya know) and go to boot WP7.
Heres where my confusion kicks in. Sometimes, it boots first time, it goes through booting fine. other times, i get 5 seconds into the DFT logo bootscreen and it crashes, re-booting the phone. And most of all, i get 1 2 3 4 5 6 GO GO GO! and it crashes and re-boots the phone *sigh*
this persists over multiple OS and MAGLDR 1.12 flashes and seems to all be dependent on time. If the phone crashes once (fails to boot) it wont boot again at all for the next 10-30 minutes, then, if sufficient time is passed, it will boot without issue. And yeah, i don't think its heat related, the phone stays fairly cool throughout the process (I've had my phone get hotter on an underclocked android build )
Any ideas? i apologise if this has been addressed elsewhere, but ive kept my ear to the ground in this forum for a few days and have done a few searches, as far as i know, this is a new and confusing issue :L thanks in advance.
Hey mate... Weird case... Did you tried to Wipe the phone to Factory settings? (I mean uninstall hspl,android magdlr e.tc???) Try it and post here with your results... Just make an installation of the Winmo 6.5 only!
Give it a shot now, just to be sure, flashing a standard Winmo rom wipes my HSPL don't it?
have you tried formatting the sd card with panasonic sd formatter...if not i think its worth a shot...make sure to set in options to full (erase on)...hope that helps

No.. you can still have the HSPL and stuff! Somewhere here i saw a topic about Uninstalling all these together!
In addition try the comment above mine and post your results!
If it's not the problem then try Mgdlr 1.11 with Android build... Most probably something went wrong with the installation!

I use the sd formatter from SDcard.org, but yeah, full erase has been a button ive pushed somewhere along the line, alas to no avail
The problem is WP7 specific, I've never really had much trouble with Android builds on Nand
Wp7 boot problems are related to your SD card then! Wp7 is known to have these problems on several SD cards... I use Chinese cards (not branded) and are working just fine... i have 8gb class 4 and 16gb class 6.. LOL!
Its what i thought at first, but seriously, 3 different brands of card all crapping out? Kingston and sandisk cards work for others on top of that, but i think now you guys have given me enough to get on with, i edit OP if i ever get it working :L thanks a bunch for the advice
I have installed android rom on my sd card and it worked fine, I switched the phone off and then on again and it just keeps booting in a loop is there anyway to break in to this.
any help is needed.
regards
Have a good look at you battery oins that make contact with the battery and see if they are all aligned properly if not very carefully adjust the one that is not in line with the others. I really think your issue has nothing to do eith the SD Android you used as SD Android is very safe as far as not effecting the regular Windows Mobile OS cause it is on SD and does not touch the NAND memory wich is where the Win MO OS or what every primary OS resides.

thats exactly what happened to me whenever i tried to run android off an sd card.(which is why i didn't get a working android rom for months until nand came along)
On the few occasions I managed to get one to boot, i ended up having to hard reset winmo to escape from boot loop, which is probably what you will end up doing.
I have checked that and it appears ok but it still reboots if there is a problem would it help if I installed an official rom update from htc.
It wont even boot with the sd card out and soft reset doesnt help
thanks for the help

Yes install the updat as Android builds really have to have a 3.14 Windows Mobile ROM to work well. It will also improve your expeince with Win Mo as the 3.14 ROMs run considerably smoother.
do you have it done through clockwork? I had the same issue and I had to wipe data and cache, then it worked fine. You lose all your apps and have to reinstall them but it works. this worked for me if someone has a better method feel free to chime in.

I think the OP is using a SD card Android build and not a NAND Android ROM.
Whatever WP7 ROM I try, my phone just hangs on the splash screen. It used to be fine a while ago until I tried flashing langs wp7.5 ROM...
can anyone please help?!
i'm not saying it's the exact issue, but what class is your SD card? Mine also did the same except when i tried flashing back to WP7 from Android and it killed the SD card completely.

there was an error when flashing it. You should do all the steps over.

I've done it over and over. Even went out and bought a new 4gb class 4 sd card to test. Same result. This really makes no sense!!
try flashing the rom withOUT your sd in ... yet brand new or not WP just doesnt work with some cards regardless of class, brand, etc.

What rom u using? yuki one or hd20 dft one? if yuki, i also encounter this freeze screen problem but dft one, worked smooth and stable, nvr see freeze screen anymore, try this if u are using yuki rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953078
When I flashed Yuki BTTF ROM I had the same issue. Had to remove SD Card until final update. Without the SD Card, update to 7392, and then reinert the card. Hard reset phone from settings, and then update the rest of the way. By following this process, my updates worked perfectly.
