does winmo keep a memory of android builds? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

it seems that every time i install a new andro build i get more and more issues.
im running chunkyrom with 2.12.50 radio
my first rom was froyostone 1 it ran perfect no issues at all
i installed the HDfroyo and started having the typical andro issues
then i tried mattc leo and it was overall great build but i had even more issues and not as stable as froyostone1
2 days ago installed froyostone 2 and having a very unpleasant experience with it crashing restarting lagging thewifi and mms and lock screen lagging etc.
note that first froyostone was installed on a card that i didnt even touch.
all the files from blackberry phone were still on it i only ran an error check in windows.
for mattc i completely cleared out the sd card formatted and ran an error check.
and started having issues.
is formatting under PC windows and formatting from winmo makes any difference?
im puzzled why im having more and more issues,
it almost seems like the winmo keeps getting more and more corrupted by the android builds or something like that..

HaRET closes WinMo and modules completely then starts Android... so dont think so..
Anyway a dev can give u a good insight and help you better.
Good Luck

I think that you will find that the only references to past builds will be on the actual SD card used, which is why a complete format of that card is recommended. On the root of the card will be folders created by your Android installation, some begin with a full-stop, e.g.: .Mail, .footprints, but there are others that do not follow that convention. If you do not want to do a complete format of the SD card, you may want to do a screen shot of the card prior to install, so that you can compare before and after, then before a new subsequent Android installation, delete the new files and folders created.
Some people are experiencing the problems you describe with this PPP version, but the Dev was aware of this and has posted a fix,so it may be better for you to try the RMNET rootfs. Hope this helps.

Issues with Extended Battery on Froyo builds ie.. does not work

Hi guys...
I've run into a bit of an issue when trying to boot the latest and greatest Froyo builds on here...
done everything as required (all works fine on 2.1 builds)
however...
it creates the datastore fine... no problem...
goes to HTC white boot screen,
then
Android animated screen...
and then a brief glimpse of a locked Sense screen, and it then vibrates and subsequently shuts down.. (not reboot just shut down)
any ideas guys it's driving me potty..
I have a clean class 2 16 Gb micro SD card
and as i said the 2.1 builds work fine..
I have now changed the topic to discuss trying to resolve the extended battery issue
I had issues with my 16GB SD Card. I switched to a 2GB one and didn't seem to encounter any problems.

Did you delete all the Android files you had before? It could be that any different file you overwrite or replace could interfere.
And second, why make a new thread for this? This easily couldve been posted here in the HD2 Linux/Android Q&A Thread - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!! thread
See where i'm getting at?
THis way you get an answer, but the forum also stays clean and crisp without 2-3 reply threads.
apologies...
an update though.I have used a formatted 2 gig card.. nothing else on there and still nothing...
the radio is fine... so I am very confused...
Hi nutmegy
I have the very same problem. Tried to format sd, to install other roms, anything, and I cannot find a solution.
What rom/radio are you using?
Let´s find a pattern....
cheers,
Yeyes
using 2.10.50.26
Ok, I was using 2.10, and changed to 2.12, and nothing changed.
What rom do you have?
I had BSB Beast 5, and today I changed to Miri but still doesn´t work.
sorry, I didn´t see your avatar with the rom.
I tried with a 2 gb sd card and with a 8 gb sd card. No way
mmmmmm what rom to use...
someone mentioned a de fragment worked for them maybe you should try it
yea tried that.. anyway a freshly formatted sd card should do surely????!!!
I have the same issues
2.1 runs ok
2.2 does boot but just shuts down 5-10 seconds after lockscreen, tried different kernels and differend builds, formatted sd a few times, tried different radio's
Euro HD2, no simlock
SPL: 2.08 HSPL3
ROM: Stock 1.66 dutch
Radio: 2.10.50.26
at least I'm not the only one lol.
I have a 16 GB card and everything works very well !!! I use winmo miri roms 17.6 if it can help.
already tried that rom too... I dunno...
i've had same situation here. I couldn't boot any Froyo build (2.1 was fine though) with artemis build and 2.50.xx build, because my phone was switching off just after "welcome" screen. I've been trying to figure out what was the problem for past couple of days, i've been trying everything, and than...
I've switched my battery, from extended HTC HD2 battery (2400 mAh) into regular, stock 1230 mAh and.. surprisingly it worked.
I don't have any problems with any froyo build since then.
cheers

You are putting the Froyo builds in a FOLDER on the ROOT of the SD card correct? Froyo is the only one you run from a folder. The other builds go no folder, root of sd. Might also try dual boot cab or a higher class SD card. Im running Class 10 - 8GB, Miri V17.6 Lite, Radio 2.12.50.02_2, not one prob.

Ah...have the same problem, and guess what...I use the official HD Extended Battery!!!
Well spotted that man...at work now but will try standard battery this weekend.
...might be too early for assumptions but a pattern emerging...
it's a shame it doesn't work on the extended battery especially since it drains the battery so much.... mmmmmmmmmmmm

[Q]can't get android running

yeah i try looking around but couldn't find and answer
most of the android rom i try running on my htc hd2 work fine but already reboot back to windowmobile on it own how can i fix this
im running energyROM right now on radio 2.14.50.04
Hi...
Did I understand it right?
You bott from WinMo to Android and after some time the phone reboot?
Which EnergyROM do you use?
Which Android?
Many regards
yes and thank for the fast reply and
energy .sencity
and most like froyo, hyperdroid, and coredroid and others
How long does it work until it reboots?
Did you try to reformat your SD Card with 64kb cluster size? That should help if I read that right. Otherwise try another SD.
This can be read 2 ways. Either he is having reboot problems or he is complaining that when he reboots his phone he is back in windows mobile

no i know it reboot back to window mobile my problem is that it does it on it own and yes i formated the sd card more then once and it differ something 10min or something right when it starts up
I use to have problems with my sd card. Once I got a Class 10 SD card, all my problems was solved. The original class 2 16GB was just too slow. Especially when it goes standby.
Now everything runs super fast.

Maybe you should use this tool to format you SD Card. Yes it is a german page, but u will understand the important things like the big "download" button and the download Server button on the next page
I use this, too. And it works for me since a couple of years for USB Sticks and SD Cards

The only thing that I possibly hindering me is my sd card, but some say that android runs smooth from these type of cards...so instead of going out and spending a fortune on a top of the range one I thought that I would post this thread first....
Is it something simple that I am missing........?
Please any help would be most appreciative......

Hi, i seem to be having a similar problem
I run haret and it seems to run through some scrolling text, then leave a blank black screen for ages at a time.
Have i too done something wrong?
Any help wud be greatly appreciated

the other thing you can do is get the android sdk, install adb, and watch the logcat, it shuld be obvious if it starts to loop, or copy the logcat and post it so someone can help you debug.
my guess, your card's corupted... try formating it to an ext4 file system, then back to fat32. or scan it on a linux box and see if it shows up corupted...
Thanks t1h5ta3....
I will give it a go....
i used to face the same issue. place the android folder in the root of your sdcard
and check your startup.txt for your android path
e.g set cmdline "rel_path=Android"
you've probably did it before....
So why not pay a little money and get a low end SD card for testing? That would tell straight away if there's a problem with the card.
I use a 16GB Sandisk class 2 with no problems and also have a 16GB Kingston class 4 that runs fine.
Never had any problems, except SOD (and there's a fix for that), with these 2 cards.
Both formatted Fat 32 with 32 kilobyte allocation size on a Win 7 machine.
Makes Sense.........
"Enough" is "Enough"
From my previous post I have purchased another SDHC card (TOSHIBA 8GB CLASS 4) for testing android and surprise surprise I am still getting exactly the same problem, not a thing in regards running android. Why is such a simple thing turning out to be so problematic, my head has finally dropped and I am losing the will to live.....?
Common Issues.....
whilst linux is booting android it will always stop at "SMD: ch 1 1 2 -> 2".......... ???????????? i have searched for this with little or no success.
And one thing that I find very confusing is the Startup.txt files... what should it actually say because many people have different opinions.....BOOT or BOOTLINUX ????
Can anyone please please please post a complete setup in regards of rom, radio,etc etc of there HTC HD2 (LEO) European version """(NOT A 1024)"""" running android, so I can compare and find out what the BL**DY hell is going on...

The only other thing I could think of is that maybe it's the Windows rom that you're using. Haret Android actually makes use of bits and pieces of what winmo leaves behind in memory, and since you are running a rom with cht built in, it may be using the ram memory differently, storing different things in ram addresses that Android doesnt expect. I would back up your NRG CHT build (shouldnt be too bad using XDA_UC), and flash a stock rom or NRG's bare bones Android rom. If it doesn't work, at least it's one more thing you could cross off the list of likely suspects

The plot thickens
Thanks for the suggestion huggs....
I flashed Energy.Leo.COM2.Barebones WM Build.For.Android as you suggested and have been getting some strange results??????
Firstly because that particular build auto boots into android once you switch on your device with an sd card inserted it does not detect either my Toshiba micro 8GB or my Sandisk 4GB SD"HC" cards and says "NO STORAGE CARD HAS BEEN DETECTED"... although saying that I can open file explorer on my device and read both storage cards.....but the auto boot does detect my Sandisk micro 2GB "SD" card and auto boots android but Linux stops at line "usb: product_id 0xff9" and hangs......
Either my hd2 does not like micro "SDHC" cards or it is knackered......
I AM CONFUSED.COM

jingers i preformed task 29 and i can not get my phone into the bootloader ?
Hi there,
One question to all of you having problems with Android. Do you happen by any chance to have extended battery?
I similar problems with Android. One day it worked and the next day it wouldn't and no matter what I did it just refused to work on any build I tried. I was so sure that it was because of the memory card that I even didn't think about the extended battery causing problems.
So if you try everything, including different wm roms, different android builds, changing sd cards and are totally at loss just try any rom with extended battery support or try changing the kernels that support one and then try again.
Provided you've got extended battery and are not too much experienced in Android issues I could bet that this is the cause of your problems.
hi rafian a good shout but no i am not using an extended battery.....
But is does not matter now because i think my phone is bricked after doing a task 29 because it will not enter the bootloader ??????????
Also because it is not entering the bootloader and all i get is the NRG flash screen from my preivious rom and that task 29 has not removed it am i right in thinking if i send my phone off to be repaired / replaced they will see that splash screen and know that i had HSPL installed and void my warranty ???????
I'm sorry to read it Frank. This is the worst case scenario ( .
WHY O WHY did i do a task 29......................
Got my HD2 to work
Hi all,
I also faced many problems in my attempts to make Android run on my HD 2. I got stuck on the startup screen (starting Linux kernel etc).
In the end irrespective of what the other form user stated, you need to install HSPL (article link provided below). Be warned, to install this I had to switch off everything (wifi, BT etc) but phone (and a reset was needed) and had to make sure on windows desktop that Windows Mobile Device Centre was able to communicate with phone BUT was not synching anything.
Once HSPL was installed I found out that my Radio ROM was too old. need 2.07... + (I had 2.06...) I then updated my Radio ROM thenTADA I am now running Android on my HD2.
Here is the link that resolved my issues.

HTC HD2 Random Reboots

So I have a modded HTC HD2, which will reboot by itself while Im running an app or on the internet browsing. Sometimes just randomly, I have had this current configuration on it since I got the phone. But this problem is happening more often now. Sometimes when it reboots I have to go through hell to get android to bootup again. Please direct me in the right direction to fix this, or if there is a better configuration of mods I could change to.
Android System 2.2.1 (FRG83) Nexus One
Chunky Rom
did you try the usual "format the sd card" method? if yes, try a different brand of sdcard. It may not seem obvious but sdcard have been found to effect just about everything on hd2 android including battery life, lag, SOD, phone call, etc.
Also, what radio version are you using?
I cant remember the radio? Where could I go to find it? Would unmounting my sd card cause me to have to recopy android to the card again?
I've experienced all the issues you have talked about. it drove me nuts. I have spent a lot of time reading in the forums here. I also, tried lot of different winmo roms and radios as well as droid builds. Many told me it was hardware issues. My gut feeling was always it was software related to droid. Most of it has gone away now. I did a task 29 and it didn't help cause the issues still took place. I reformat my sd card everytime i switch builds. Im using energy rom 21683 extreme from the 5th NOV. using 2.12.50.02_2 radio. droid build mdeejay froyo revolution 1.5 with is S2 smartass kernel that i download from his thread in hd2 droid development. Just stay with it and keep reading these forums and trying different combos. i hope some of this was helpful.

The radio can be seen when you first power on your phone...it's something like 2.10.xxx.xxx. The latest version is 2.15.50.xxx. Be very cautious when upgrading radio. Make sure you get the proper version that is meant for your phone.
Unmounting sd won't delete anything from your sdcard. Formatting will delete everything.
If you have trouble, try a new sdcard. That's my best advice. If that didn't help, try a new rom or update radio.
I had the same problem, I solved it by installing a different WinMo rom (went from Chucky to Energy standard). I'm using latest 2.15 radio and MDJ's revolution 1.4 android rom. I didn't format my SD card since it's pretty much full and I haven't formatted it for a while now. Did delete all the . folders tho.
I solved this problem by doing a re-install of my android bulild and not updating the kernel or installing autokill/task killer apps. This also solved my battery life issues, strangely. I can't draw many conclusions from this but at least it's something to try. I'm using bluetopia sense build.
I have had the same problem for a while and after several different android/kernel trials I have come to the conclusion that it's a kernel issue for me. So I can't use the modded OC kernels, cause I keep having random reboots. I just ported stock evo kernel (linux on wince) and that solved the problem for me, although other kernels (e.g mdj Sx) are smoother and faster...

[Q] T-Mobile HD2 with Android not loading

Hello all,
I have a T-mobile HD2 with Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._2.3_Clean_#15 build of android loaded on the stock 16GB microSD. It was loading good for a full day no problems but my GF keep downloading apps and it restarted and would not start up again. I noticed the SD card had a weird file named EncFiltLog.menc. I googled this file and discovered this is some kind of encryption that the WinMo system created, not sure how this happened since it was in android during the crash/restart.
Well I did a hard reset and did a few formats of the sd card and tried to load the build again and no luck. But another microSD with the same build of android works.
I am doing a full format on the card now and I'll see if that works, but can somebody help me out with this one.
The threads with the info about the EncFiltLog.menc file are pretty dated from 2007 - 2009 and I couldn't find any new information about this or a solution.
BTW my Rom is Stock 2.13 and my Radio is 2.15. Hope my microSD card isn't dead.
Thanks!
For a moment I thought I made the post without knowing it as I have the exact same problem! I'm using 3.14 stock ROM though.
Anyone can help?
That file has nothing at all to do with Android...like you said, its an encryption file for WinMo if you ever choose to encrypt your SD card. Anyways, sounds like your SD card is just plain old bad. This seems to be happening more and more with Android, so use it at your own risk.
I think i fixed it.
installed chuckydroidrom with flashaholic (the one that does task29 first) and formatted microsd with fat32 at highest possible allocation unit. did a fresh install, rebooted twice, then copied data.img to load everything back. Everything works fine and battery life is better then before.
chuckydroidrom - wm rom
2.15 - radio
darkstone froyo hd v3 - android build.
If everything is working fine is there any reason to fool around with the zimage? That is one thing I haven't played around with yet.
