[Q] Android reboots after 1-2 minutes

My HD2 was running fine on several versions of Android, currently mccm v1 SE with 2.12.50.04 Radio on top of Stock WinMo with SPD whatever thing.
I have a 2GB and an 8gb microSD. the 8gb holds my stable mccm v1 SE and the 2GB is for testing other builds.
I wanted to speed booting to Android, so downloaded chuckydroidROM and Excellor boot loader (v2.1).
I installed the boot loader and it ran fine with my HyperDroid 1.6 build.
But then, after about 3 minutes. The phone reboots to T-Mob welcome screen. It doesn't load WinMo either, unless I reboot manually with the battery or reset button.
I've been looking and looking on the forum and can't find someone with similar circumstances.
I've tried my stable 8gb microSD card with the mccm v1 SE build on it and I get the same thing.
what I've tried:
-"hard" reset (Up/Down volume button reset) = same + lost SPD mobile
-Changed radio to 2.15.50.04 (yeah, no good) = same + no signal
-installed chuckydroidROM = same
- uninstalled EBL = same
- reinstalled EBL = same
- stomped and yelled = same.
Any help? either a thread that I missed in my search or some other things to try?
Thanks guys.

Hmm sounds strange.
But I think you have to start from the beginning.
At first, what version of HSPL do you have installed?
Maybe just try another one, mine is currently 2.08.
Then you should do a task29 before you flash the WM-ROM again.
I recommend also flashing the 2.14 radio.
After finishing these steps prepare your SD. Format it with the formatting tool found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748961
I would do this 2 or three times.
Then do a fresh install of your android build. Just set up as normal.
If you want to, you could try to restore your data.img. If you do that, it has to be a build from the same developer.
Try and report back.
Cheers

thanks for the reply. I updated to 2.14 and went with a stock 2.2 build (Nexus One). It hasn't crashed since, but I'm afraid to go back to my mccm build. I also am kind of worried that it had something to do with Excellor on the device. Of course I can't resist trying again
I'll try my original build again. I do know that I formatted the SD card well before installing this build, so that might be it. I didn't have the program though, so thanks for the link. Also I didn't look into task29, so I'll read up and find out if that might help.
I am running 2.08 too and was then. I did reflash it though.... but I don't think that was when it started working again.
I didn't know that data files may be portable if from the same dev. that's nice to know. Thanks again for the help, it's a lot easier to work through fixes with the help of a few other brains.

Cheers

Android bootloop, windows reinstalled now AndroidSD does not work!

Hi, this is a funny situation I'm in because 99% of the time I find solutions to my own problems searching this thread but I'm in a unusual situation and I'm looking for suggestions.
I was running MDJ cynogenmod 7 v.2.2 under CWM and MAGDLR 1.11 with no problem, however because some apps did not work in gingerbread I decided to go back to froyo, which I tried MDJ revolution also on MAGDLR under CWM, and got stuck on a bootloop. I blamed my partitioned (Fat/EXT4) SD card and formatted it (FAT)only and re-flashed REVOLUTION via CWM, still got bootloop so i went over CWM, and flashed it via USB Flasher to be stuck in bootloop again, just before i started crying about my dead HD2 I figured to flash windows 6.5 again and thankfully it worked. But after 5 minutes of using windows I needed android so I downloaded a SD version and tried to run it via Heret, and this is where the situation comes because I already tried many versions of android SD and none bootup. Yea it sounds like my SD but I have already formatted, any suggestions would be appreciated.

this might sound a bit daft but have you checked the radio version after flashing the winmo rom?

yes i have the same radio i always had 2.10.50.26

Just wondering, did you have the correct partition size for system?

Use "SD Card Formatter" and set it to FULL and ERASE ON.

thank you!
thanks for your quick help
after running windows for one day I decided to give MAGDLR another try and just like that it worked perfectly and flashed a very old MDJ Revolution build. it seems that after I formatted SD to FAT only I stupidly tried to flash a APP2SD nand build, which [i think] caused the problem [idk if this was it but my guess is that ap2sd builds only work if you have a [FAT]/[EXT] formatted SD Card (i thought it was kind of optional)]
as for running android via SD, no luck via windows, no luck via MAGDLR, but I have it via nand so I am very very happy

[Q] bricked tmous hd2 from freezing android?

hi all, long time viewer first time poster, i have been reading many post on the net trying to find a definite answer on my tmous hd2 but with no luck. My problem started when i was running android (sandisk mirco sd, yes i know the incompatibility issues, it came with the phone). I was playing music through headphones while charging and suddenly the phone froze with a buzzing sound until i battery flipped, first thing it did when i started it back up again is vibrate approximately 5 times at boot flash screen (indicating excessive heat?), so i battery flipped again and waited 10 mins then i tried to start again and it just froze at boot screen, it would keep doing this and every now and then it will boot to wm, but sooner or later it will freeze in wm and then have booting problems, its still doing this today after doing all the following: 1.flash another custom rom. 2.flashed another radio. 3.task 29. 4. flashed stock rom & radio. 5. flashed nandroid 6.tried different capacity and brand sd cards & none at all.
I now have a hd7 because I couldnt fix it and didnt want to shed the cash they are still asking for a hd2, but i do want to fix the phone to play around more with it, i did look at the possible solution unbrick with jtag thread but im thinking the phone is perma bricked, when it was working it has had alot of custom rom flashes so i dont know if that makes much a difference but i would greatly appreciate some advice, THANKYOU XDA FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

Please mention your RADIO, HSPL and the last Android Rom in which this happened!

If your phone is booting, it's not bricked. Did you try another SD card? Have you tried doing a low level format on your SD card? If it were me I'd Format the SD card with an adapter on my PC, low level. Then I would put it back in the phone then run Task29. Then flash MAGLDR 1.1. Then Flash the CMY 1.4n Desire HD Nand build in the HD2 Nand Android Development forum. It's the most stable Nand build up there right now.
I would use the 2.15 radio that comes with the newest Tmobile ROM. You might have to download the 3.14 ROM from Tmobile and flash it first to get the Radio in there. Then Task29 after that. MAGLDR, Then the NAND build. Make sure you find the Task29.exe that doesn't have a radio paired with it. it's on this site somewhere.

hd2 running MIUI freezing up too
I'm a complete noob here so bare with me. I'm currently experiencing the same probs as lewy255 with the hd2 freezing up. It happens every now and then when I'm accessing certain apps. When the hd2 does freeze up, i have to take the battery out, wait, then boot up again. Once it tries to boot up it freezes on magldr, then i got to take out the battery again, wait, then power it on again. It seemed to happen when i first rooted my hd2. The first ROM i flashed after rooting was typhoon CM7. Currently have:
HSPL 2.08
radio 2.15.50.14
MIUI version: 1.5.27
I hope this isnt a hardware issue cause i bought this phone from one of my friends and he didn't have the receipt. Please advise on what i can do to fix this freezing issue.
Thanks

Sounds like cpu overheat freeze. When you were playing music and charging it the first time it froze, was the phone and/or battery hot?
It's very possible that it got too hot once, and now the cpu its self gets too hot much easier now that it has already happened once.

Cpu overheat freeze? So its a hardware issue? What if I ran task29, and reinstalled magldr, clockworkMod, and then MIUI, do u think that would fix the freezing issue?

No I do not think that will help your situation. I think your HD2 is starting to show signs of hardware break down. More specifically a breakdown in the connection of the processor and the main board. The only permanent if this is the case is to replace the main board.

I tried installing setCPU and adjusted the temperature setting so if got too hot then the speed of the phone would be reduced, but still no luck.
What if i unrooted the phone and put everything back to stock? I think that way i will know for sure that its a hardware issue. I dont know much about phones but your probably right. I'll try running task29 and reinstall everything and see if that works, if not then i will un-root and put everything back to stock and test.

Is it an undervolted kernel? Might cause problems, but I'm with mac here on it being a hardware problem, since you flashed back to winmo stock and you still had problems.

i have same problem with miui roms. I think this problem is about Miui Roms. Miui developers must solve this issue, there is no way..
When i try other Roms, there is no problem like this issue..

in my opinion and its just my opinion, but you should flash a winmo 6.5 build than boot android from sd its safer because theres no need to worry about battery dying in magldr. and if theres a nand rom you want to try out i suggest using port a droid. im using now with the new nexus 2.8 with a 1gb data.img and it runs great plus i have 3 other builds on there also.

prevent automatically switches to wimo

hi,
recently installed android with the MDJ Desire HD v4.6 rom build. while i get that the phone if powered off and on reverts back to windows - the phone seems to do this even without that and if left for too long (like overnight) it just switches back to windows and needs me to launch the build again. any suggestions?
thanks

Is it restarting on it's own? Technically, I don't think it can just shut Android down and go back to WinMo on its own. If it's restarting on its own, then there's a deeper, underlying condition that you need to take care of.

So if it just reboots itselft, your suffering on random reboots, pretty sure. Could you give us more information about your build, radio, HSPL and so on?
And another tipp, you could install an automatic bootloader in WinMo, like this one here: Exceller Build Loader.
This is the one I always used for SD builds.

hi
assume it rebooted as it happened in the middle of the night - guess it couldn't really switch to winmo without a reboot.
build: MDJ Desire HD v4.6 rom build
any ideas on how i can get the rest of the details without going back into winmo. donloaded a systems app but doesn't give me radio informaiton - says unavailable.
thanks for your help

not sure why but it just rebooted so here is the information
radio: 2.15.50.14
rom: 3.14.405.2(04666)wwe
not sure on where i can get the hspl info but think i installed hspl 2.08.
thanks

Seems to be a normal combination.. Does it just randomly reboot?
And did you tried another SD card?

Installing MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v2.6_NAND but need help! ease!

Hi, with no success installing Hyperdroid I decided to install this ROM:
MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v2.6_NAND_A2SD+CWM.zip
Installed:
Radio - 2.15.50.14
HARDSPL - 2.08
Magldr - v1.11
CWM Rec - v3.0.0.5
I took Hyperdroid off by doing a task 29 and re-installing everything again along with the new ROM (above).
On restarting the device, the blue Android comes up but the phone doesn't go any further. I've left it for up to half hour and still nothing. Tried resetting several times and still the same thing.
What am I doing wrong ??
Also, is there a way to easily remove a previous ROM without having to taks 29?
Thanks

I don't know about MDJ's ROM's , but they are pretty much old.
I assume your problems are being derived from not using the proper partition size.
Installing CWM is not enough, you need the proper partition as well.

As far as I know MDJ never made and CWM builds; I recommend going with Typhoon CM7 NAND... way better than MDJ - and there is no issues as with MDJ not willing to provide the source of his ROM (in other words - it may do whatever and however and be unsafe from the financial perspective - you never can find out).

Thanks guys, I'll try Typhoon CM7 NAND.
Is the HTC HD2 supported as I've been on the CyanogenMod weblog and it isn't listed?
If not which can I use.

...Is that a serious question?
Typhoon CM7 NAND is CM7 and think about your question... is the HD2 an Android device in the first place? No.

HA HA so it is!
How can I get past the bootup screen - it is frozen on the htc logo in green.
I've tried flashing it again and nothing.
What is the recommended partition for this as this is the only thing I can think that I'm doing wrong?

go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913 download the 150mb partition if you're going to be using typhoon cm7 ( which is a fast, stable rom) and flash rom as usual in recovery. If you experiment with a bunch of different roms i would suggest downloading the HD2 Toolkit

You can also try Dorimanx Rom, which is also based on CM7.

try new rom like hyperdroid or typhoon, they good
