I have been trying to install froyo on my hd2, and it actually runs the OS but after a few hours my phone just blacks out. then when i take out the battery to restart it and try running haret again, i keep getting the same error message
"userdata.img and system.img not found on the sdcard"
what does this mean? and is it fixable? Please and thank you.
Need to know the setup on your phone... Which winmo rom, android rom, radio version.....
And you will probably ge t more help in android section q&a thread..

Had a similar issue and it was fixed by reformatting my SD card.
Did you put all the android files on the root of the SD card or the whole android folder??
If you were able to run it once... but not again the second time then it sounds to me like you've put the files on the root of the SD card. That's why it can't find the files. Your directory should look like this SDCARD/ANDROID/haret.exe

Ok so here is my issue,
I recently installed MAGDLR and got Stock Desire ROm running and everything is perfect until I found out that I am unable to run my android ROMS from the SD card!
From the MAGDLR bootloader, i press on boot android from SD = nothing happens.
I realized that maybe haret.exe needs 2 be on the SD card root. So i moved the files.
The bootloader detects the files and boots into Android from SD but then gets stuck at the custom bootloader image of the android ROMS
Tried different ROMS but in vain.
Eversince I installed MAGDLR, I am completely unable of running any ROM from SD.
Does anyone have the same issue or is it only me?
I feel there is a very simple thing I missed and I will feel like an idiot once I know lol.
Any suggestions? I really like testing different ROMS.
Me too, i tried the MIUI ROM from SD (normal rom version) and stucked at MIUI bootloader image.

Did u move ur system files from folder "Android" to the root of the card like I did?
Or was haret.exe already in the root of ur card by default?
I am thinking that this file moving might have caused this
I'm not sure you need to move your files. You can actually configure the Android directory in magldr's settings.
I'm not sure current SD builds are that compatible with being launched from magldr, though. First thing I tried after installing magldr was launching my old m-deejay DesireHD build, but it would just freeze immediately after displaying "preparing sd-card".

Does anyone know what we or the devs can do to resolve this? My builds on SD also freeze at preparing SD card.

AFAIK magdlr cant read the required settings over the startup.txt still, but it would, read the first post over the magdlr thread by cotulla, it would even load wm6.5 and wp7 builds over NAND! its a matter of time (and patience )

Dear confused nani,
SD android was so yesterday, wouldn't you want to have hd2 boot straight into android like how window os? It's called NAND android. Unless you like window 6.5 os or dual os then you should gone SD android. I'm throwing this out there just in case you don't know. If you decided to go NAND, follow my sig for the best pure latest android.

Is this 2.13 TMOUS Stock ROM?
I would suggest you to use Custom ROM that is compatible with SD Android. You can try Platinum Series by Laurentius26 (find the link in WM 6.5 ROM Development forum!). I used this rom for dual boot with SD Android (American Android AOSP)
To do that, you have to install HSPL 4 and Choose SPL 2.08 HSPL.
Do Task 29.
Flash a Custom ROM.and do HARD RESET. Let it fully boot and do Soft REset.
Place your SD Android Folder to the ROOT of your FORMATTED Micro SD Card.
Remember that the name of the folder must be "Android" (without quote). Few SD Android ROM has different folder name, so you might need to rename it.
Now within Android ROM folder, tap CLRCAD and tap HARET
It will boot to ANdroid. Keep in mind it will take around 20 Minutes. Be patient
If you still have a problem or need more detail, you can PM me
Good luck

yes its a 2.13 tmo usa stock rom...i will try this i just hope it works. thanx silverwind
first of all you needn't do a hspl to run an android sd build. first choose a build from the android sd build threads. i can suggest americandroid if 'sense' isn't so important for you. After you download the rom,unzip and find android folder in it. copy it to your hd2. tap clrcad then haret. first boot may take up to half an hour.

do you use winmo,and which rom do you want to flash, and what steps do you make?
Yes, i am using a winmo, HTC HD2
i tried many roms, and i am talking about the ROM, not android.
and on each ROM i tried to load different Android, but it still
do not work.........stuck on a screen every time
Basically i use "energy rom", http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
and tried with American Android ((( this one worked on a first sd -card)))
steps from a beginning : i flash rom on my phone, after hard reset, i flash it from my PC. then i copy the "Android" folder on sd card of my phone, then with "file explorer" i enter the "android" file ((for example - AMERICAN ANDROID)) , i choose CLRCAD, (nothing happens) and then i choose the HARET and loading begins. after that just a screen with HTC logo, a black one. i waited for 20 min, and more - nothing changes. (( tried to reset and load again, same screen, no progress....))
i just have no idea what else to do....
been searching for solution for few days now.
some say that updating the rom helps, but done that.
When i were using winmo i were formatting my sd on such a case. If it doesn't work i was formatting winmo too.

for example - AMERICAN ANDROID....i take it from your writing.you must put the folder Android to sd card not american android folder. i mean
sd card/android/clrcad then haret. not sd card/american android/android/clrcad
of course, i understand it.
i read manual for 100 times now, just to be sure i am doing things right.
i know the basics.
so lets see :
format to phone and sd card - checked
updated rom - checked
different sd card - checked
different rom with different android - checked
if i think about it know - phone is not working that's why i can't install android.
but - every rom is working good and android did worked once on a old sd card.
so have no idea what to do next.
at first i wanted to copy files from sd card where Android did worked, so there were file named "data.img" , couldn't copy it. don't know why.
so, in order for android to work on a phone now , it must create same file now. maybe card is somehow protected and doesn't allow phone to do it................. but i can copy all other stuff on it.
my knowledge and fantasy just ends here, but it kills me that such a simple thing doesn't work.
and if it doesn't work on an old card either, so can't figure out what causing this problem.
i can lastly say: download a new copy of american android.wipe everything from your sd.unrar american android in your pc.find the android folder.copy android folder to your sd via usb or card reader.clrcad then haret. the rom creates a new data.img in first boot.this rom may take half an hour to load. because i use it also. sorry if i'm unable to help
i had the same problem installing AmeriCanAndroid. it seemed like you did everything right from what i could tell anyway. i would try a different sd build to see if thats the problem.

what about you? did it help, switching sd card?
been trying now different Android, same thing.
@angel182
At the time i was a bit of a noob still am really but when i installed a new sd build i think it solved my problem. if i remember correctly i may have even tried a different winmo rom (omega) which may have helped as well. i really cant be to sure because its been some time now & my memory aint what it use to. lol.
I will say that if you ever want to go to a nand version and dont like it for what ever reason you can always switch back. I'm sorry I couldnt of been more help.

Let me know if it helped you.
I want to install the MAGDLR version of this ROM, MccMBoxmaX GS V8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038694) and i cannot figure how to install the thing without having the DAF file such as the one in this video at 7:15 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvS4EvS0PAw). Please if someone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Also i realize that there are better places for this to be posted, but XDA won't let me post anywhere else more relevant.
That's an SD card rom, not a flashable rom,hence being in the android SD development section. You want the android nand development section. Keep researching,you aren't there yet.
Doesn't MAGLDR mean that it is a flashable rom? Also if it is only a SD card rom is all i do is drag and drop the rom onto the SD card root and im done? Could you possibly point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to do this or give me instructions that are better than the one on the thread? Thank you for your reply
I've never used SD android,but as far as I know you drop the rom in "android" folder on SD then in magldr theres a setting to choose the default SD folder to start from, or you can boot SD android by running haret from within winmo.,,,, or something,,,
Go to the SD section,first thread "sticky roll up thread",which as it's name suggests is a roll up of all the guides and howtos you could ever want.
You, also, have to have the proper "rootfs" file to run it with magldr, otherwise running it with Windows Mobile is fine. Read the OP of that ROM or search through it, it was probably mentioned.
Good luck!!!

There is no need to installing anything. Just download a SD android rom, unpack this one to a root folder on your sd. Run clrcad.exe and than haret.exe.

can you please send me the site with the sd android rom to download it and explain me what is a root folder?
Go to the android sd development section and find an sd build that you might like (it will be trial and error until you find the best for you)
placing android build on sd root ... Simply means place the folder you will extract (normally simply named android) onto your sd card all by itself (no sub folder). so that when you have extracted the file you downloaded and placed that folder on your sd card and NOT into a subfolder it will be located /sdcard (the root or main directory) ... Not /sdcard/android/ics4.03 blablabla (notice this directory has sub directories and isn't on the root (or main directory) of the sd card.
Hope this helps ... If you need further advice/help please please please simply read the stickies in the sd android section (the "stickies" are the first 3-5 posts that will outline guides, tutorials, etc)
Good luck
I'm using AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.2
A week ago I installed also
NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9-SD V1.5
Both seems working well. AmeriCanAndroid is probably bugsfree, but NexusHD2 looks better and consumes less battery.
