[Q] Help / Info needed please -> Flame away - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

OK, here is my problem.
UK HD2 -> Generic running 1.66 stock, with HSPL 2.08, and Radio 2.12.50.02.
I have been running many of the different Android builds on my phone since the first one came out with no problems, until now...
My phone will not run any of the new ones at all. They give the instruction to leave on first boot to create the data store, takes about 5-10min. I have left my phone for hours with a faded black screen, with a few lines on it, but it never gets any further than that.
Have tried:
Mattc Leo + Froyo 1.5*, 1.6*, 1.7 and 1.8
Mattc Evo 1.0.1
Mattc NexusLeo 1.1
Mdeejay Froyo Sense 2.2
Mdeejay eVo 1.0
FroyoStone Sense 1* and 2
Darksotne HD2Froyo 2.1*
Darkstone DesireROM 2*, 3*, 4* and 5*
*= ones that have worked
It seems to me that something has changed with all the newer ROMS that are stopping them from working for me. I have format my SD every time i try a new ROM and have even hard reset my WinMo to see if that the problem -> Nothing works!
As Marvin would say: "I just want you to know, i am feeling very depressed today"
Help please

show us your step by step procedure in running android, so people when they see it may know at which point you may be making an error.
also, after reading this
post, I came to the conclusion that indeed many left
over junks in winmo are messing up the process of Android running, so I took it to mean that we have to do a Task 29 every time we try a build.

make sure the android build is in a folder marked android the older roms went on the root of the sd! another thing is when haret boots see if the writing says failer to mount sd and get back to me or pm me well figure it out!!

Definitely task29 that sucker. Also consider a "meant for android" WM rom like chuckydroid. Radio 2.14 is now available if you want to try something else.

Yeah, I was going to suggest task 29 and then reinstall a different WM Rom.
I am using the 2.14 radio with great results.....
Good Luck.

try new sd card
I can understand your frustration, If the task 29 alone does not help, I would get a new sd card, I have read its best to long format card, task 29 phone, install your windows rom of choice( I like chuckys android), then install android. good luck

Steps taken so far
Ok, first off, Thank you all for your responses!!!!
Was expecting to get flamed, as i had searched the forums and could not find anything myself but expected there to be something somewhere, that somebody knew about.
With the older ROMS that are stored on the root of SD, i formatted the SD and copied the data over using SD adaptor in my MacBook Pro's SD slot -> Worked like a charm!!
With the newer ones, that have worked anyway the procedure was the same, format SD and copy Android folder over from Mac -> again worked like a champ!
But now with these new ones i have tried the old methods of format and copy using SD adaptor, tried formatting and coping the Android folder on to the phone using the USB connection on the phone, tried renaming the "Android" folder "android".
I have not updated or changed the WinMo ROM, but i have reloaded it, when i found out about this problem. I task 29 and then reflashed with the stock 1.66 and still no dice.
Step by step for last ones i have tried:
1. Power off phone and remove battery (not needed i know but hay)
2. Remove SD card and put in SD adaptor
3. Insert into Mac and format card Fat (Mac Fat = Win Fat32)
4. Unarchive Android ROM and copy to SD - (/StorageCard/Android)
5. After copy complete wait for 5min then eject SD (i like to make sure there is nothing in the buffer)
6. Put into phone, put battery in and power up (normally with the battery cover off lol)
7. Wait for the unfortunate Windows logo and phone to boot up ("Launching HTC Sense" seems to take forever)
8. As soon as phone started either run the Android icon from Sense or open File Explorer and run both programs
9. HeRET starts, screen goes black see txt (guess bootloader loading the kernel) for 1 second then screen fades to black with faint lines running down it (backlight on very dull)
10. Wait...wait...wait (Mattc Leo Froyo 1.8 waited 20min, then fell asleep and when i awoke 5hours later it was still the same)
I dont get it, so to recap i have formatted my SD every-time i have tried, i have task29 my phone about a week ago, tried many of the ROMS on here and nothing, i have tried one of the old ones and that works though!!!!
Arrrgg, Please somebody point out what stupid thing i am doing wrong.
"Even the doors don't like me!"

Could this be it?
I have spent more time reading forums and such like, could it be due to the fault described here in this post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8264796

If you are using a standard stock 1.66 rom your radio may not be compatable. I had the same issue to start off with. Would boot half way then die. I upgraded my radio now using 2.14 and can boot no problem at all.

I have experimented with Stock UK WWE 1.66 about two weeks ago, and no matter
what Radio and HSPL I put on it, once I clicked on Haret, it goes exactly like you describe it
White faint lines all over the screen which seems like very fine drops of rain.
you can always try Winmo ROMs specifically made to be Android friendly.
also it would be valuable if you read this Thread read
at least the first and 13th post

Android installation guide and tips.

First thing, If you smoke, go grab your smokes, if you drink coffee, go grab a cup. This is usually a painless process but not always.
You will need HSPL installed, as well as a Class 4 or better sd card.

THANKS GUYS!!
What you will need is the installation copy of the build that you will be using, the latest zImage and your sdcard.
The latest Android build can be found here: Its under the standard builds section.
http://gamesquare.co.uk/
And the latest Zimage can be found here:
http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/
I personally recommend the dan1j3l's Froyo build.
Down load both the zimage and the build.
Format your sdcard, select default settings and unselect the quick format option.
After the formatting is done (about 20 mins)
extract the contents of the Froyo build to your sdcard.
Located in the folder "android" you will find a file names zimage, replace it with the one you downloaded.
WITH YOUR USB PLUGGED INTO A POWER SOURCE, reboot your phone.
As soon as you can, using the built in file manager if u have one, navigate to the android folder, select the program CLRCAD, (it will not do anything that you can see)
Then select the Zharet program.
Lay the phone down!
Sit back and wait, you will see text fly across the screen, the flash might flash, screen might fade and then come back.
Once linux is done loading and mapping out the hardware, android should be up and running.
Sign in to google and your contacts will sync if you have any on there.
Android is not perfect yet BUT it has come an amazing way since the beginning of the month.
I am using the current settings in WM, if you can do the same and you should have no problems.
SA TMOBILE HD2
HSPL2, I know HSPL3 is/has been out and is recommended, but is there any advantage in using it, i don't want to change if i don't need to
Radio 2.10.50.26
O.S. 5.2.21908 (21908.5.0.93)
Manila 2.5.20161332.0
Energy.Leo.21908.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.16 (absolutely love the energy roms, always updated and he includes the program to back up all settings making the update flashes a pleasant experience)
i ALWAYS TASK 29 before all roms!
CLASS 4 or better sd card.
When ever you want to load android, you must do so by selecting the two files mentiond above after a clean boot and always clrcad.exe first.
Sometimes android will not boot correctly, remember it was not designed for this phone.
Also all settings you make, programs you download, ect will stay in android
Pictures and such will be shared between android and wm.

I'm installing it now per your instructions. A couple of concerns you might be able to help me with. I could not find the program CLRCAD in any folder, ok I couldn't find an android folder either. I went to my SD card where I had extracted the froyo & copied over the Zimage, I didn't see a Zharet program but I did see a haret file that looked like a program so I clicked on it and it started to download Linux! I hope I did it correctly even though it seemed slightly different. am I going to run into trouble not having run the CLRCAD?
Thanks for all your hard work.
Guess I answered part of my question. It did not install correctly. I'll look for a CLRCAD and retry.
cant believe im back in the winmo forum once again.ran HARET froyo last night on my HSPL2 Leon RoM,and wow.with wifi i was browsing,playing 3d games(flawless compare to my EVO 30fps capped),and watching youtube.really loving it.glad no one bought my HD2 but now its a keeper.

I Found CLRCAD ( I think I was just a little sleepy last night when I was trying this) I ran it and it loaded correctly. Wow it seems to run great! I am running Touch-X Extreme ROM and have some issues with the phone(it doesnt work, I have no antenna). I will try loading energy's rom (since so many people have got the phone to work well with his) and see how well it works out.
Good luck!
Do we really need to format our SD card? If we don't what would happen to the data already on there?
is the "zimage" provided for both dan's froyo and desire v4?
which files do i replace with the new zimage?
After a few days of use, this build seems to run fine. Except for a few things. 1) my phone tends to run real *hot* after using Android. And second, after about 5 min of idling the screen goes black and there seems like there's nothing I can do about except to reboot. I can't even push any of the bottom buttons, that doesn't work either. on. It will run just fine as long as I don't let it sit to long without touching the screen. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I can't wait for a even more stable build.
why cant i sign into google and other networks and why is it running overclocked? help me out yall got daaaamn lol. thanks
Is Paradoxua's Froyo build more stock than daniel's? Because daniels' uses ADW, which I'm not too fond of.
Also, is anyone else experiencing weird scrolling issues? Like you flick down a list and it's supposed to go flying down, but it only goes down like a tiny bit.
Another issue, when the screen turns off while you're connected to PC, the phone seems to disconnect too. I assume this is a WinMo issue because in WinMo when you connect your phone to your PC the screen is always on.
Thread moved to General.
i got my hd2 to load android just fine.. but the screen is very dim.. any ideas??
maybe you can toggle the backlight settings in winmo.. idk. it works for the tp2.
I always get the green screen or death or it enters android and quickly says powering off. And shuts off.

you need to make sure automatic light is off in win mo before you boot up android and i always leave it at around 60% and it works fine.
I have also been having some scrolling issues. It goes down a tad bit and if you hold the screen for a fraction of a second too long after first setting your finger on the screen, then it acts as if you did a holding touch.
Also the 3g is very very slow, kinda makes the market place useless since it takes for ever to download something. Wifi downloading is working.
New zimage file
Try replacing your current zimage file with this one.
http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY.rar
Just replace/override it on your sd card.
Also delete your cache folder and your data file.
You will loose your information inside of android, like doing a reset of the OS.
Check this http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/ often, fair warning many people are having problems with the newer image marked(7-25)
Some roms or radios wont work for sure!
I am now running MIRI rom wm6.5 V17.6 with radio 2.12.50.02.2 and I must say very impressive how far you devs have come in a few weeks. Phone is working with audio and WIFI. I had stock rom TMO 2.13 installed with radio 2.10 and although Android loaded and ran fine I did not have audio during calls,they sounded robotic at times or no audio at all. I am not sure if it was the radio upgrade or switching the ROM to MIRI that did the trick. I have been playing with phone for approximately six hours nonstop and it has been solid...
Gen. Y DualBOOT Implementation
Does the app work well the newer builds?

Stuck on HTC please help!!!

So I've tried to install android build. I had stock rom 3.14.479.2 and I've tried to install HD2Froyo_V3. I've followed the instruction and after running haret few lines of text showed and than nothing, htc display appeared and stayed that way until I've removed the battery. Then I've read that I have to flash a coked Rom in order to install build for android so I downgraded it to 1.48 so I can install HSPL (not sure that it was necessary). I've flashed Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.Nov.02 with Radio_2_12_50_02_2 and copied Android folder again, same result. After flashing between stock Rom and Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.Nov.02 million of times I'm out of options. The same problem I had with FroyoStone_Sense_V3.2 too. It seemed so easy when I saw it on youtube and I can not believe that I had so bad luck. What I've done wrong? What should I do?
Anyone help?
One word: wait!
the kernel usually creates a 1GB storage for android. This will need some minutes (can take up to 10 minutes on class 2)
Some words for ROMs. Nearly all ROMs will work (the 2.14 ROMs don't) as long as you have a new radio. use 2.10 or higher. some have robo voice problems when calling. if you experience robo try another Radio.
(you should post questions like that in android development discussion. this subforum is for development only)
The folder-name of your rom, what is it and did you change it? You have to change a value in startup.txt aswell if it is different from 'Android'.
Ultimaex is right. Creating a 1gb storage for android will take some time, be patient. I have a 2gb storage which took about 20 minutes from start to finish.
fyi, my setup is tmous stock rom 3.14 and tytung's NexusHD2-FRG83 Froyo 2.2.1 build.

Ive had this happen to me when I was switching builds. I deleted everything on my sd card that was related to android. Usually, the folders that android makes on your sd card are all lowercase letters. The folders are start with a capital letter are Windows Mobile specific folders. So delete all those folders, dont forget to show hidden files just to make sure you get all the folders. Afterwards, with whatever build you plan on using, its probably best to re-download that build just to make sure no files were edited and copy them to your sd card.
Basically just start with a clean slate and you should be good to go.
i had the same problem just reformat ure memory card on ure htc hd2
I formated the sd every time I tried. It's not that
Same
I got the same problem I have tried everything waited more dan 20 minutes. Formatted 25 times. Iam searching all forums to find something
Ok, I have mentioned this a couple of times and it seems to fix this issue, format the SD card within windows (a full format not a quick one) and ensure that you format it to clusters that are 32kb.
Also what radio are you both using?
I use 2.15.50.14 now, bit tried with every radio over 2.8

That's normal at the first boot, he wrote it in his thread.. Was the same for my phone, just let it doin' his thing it will finish after about 10min.
And what I wanted to say, I think mattc 1.8 is one of the best Sense builds out there.. Works so damm' smooth. Old but gold
Yes I agree. I've tried several after this one and got back on mattc...There are few problems but I hope that will be fixed in other versions....

You mean you got all kinds of distorted graphics all over the screen. Black and white stripes kind of thing? If so, that's because you probably replaced zImage but didn't replace initrd.gz. Regardless, if you leave it on the screwed up black/white screen, it should load within 10-15 min.

[Q] cant get android working on my htc hd2

i have repeated this process a dozen times to ensure that i have not missed anything out last nite i made sure that the battery was fully charged and also i updated my rom from the htc website to the latest version as i have read that some people cant get android working at all unless they did this. i did the process until i got the black screen again and left it all night thinking that it may take a long timer as it is the first time i have ever tried loading android but i woke up and the screen was still there i am not sure what i have done wrong i have watched videos on youtube and read forums but no one else seems to have had this problem any help would be greatly appriciated thanks
i have just tried to boot an older version of froyo android the 2.2v i got past the first black screen and it went to the black screen where the white writing starts to scroll down the the writing faded into white lines what am i doing wrong
back up your sdcard contents to your computer.
format it, preferably from a linux box. if your stuck with win-blows, then you can do a full format, not the quick format.
now put JUST THE ANDROID folder on the sdcard.
put sdcard in phone, boot into android. when it boots, dont do ANYTHING for 5 min. reboot.
once it reboots, goahead and log in, synch etc.... then reboot
after that you can coppy the rest of the sdcard contents back over and be good to go.
which winmo rom, radio rom, and android build are u using?
i am using the darkstone froyo 3.7 build i am not sure what radio is or which one i am using i will try what you have suggested and let you know how it goes
right i formated (full) the sd car using windows vista the only way i could do this is plugging my phone into my laptop using the usb and formatting it that way
then i copied just the android folder to my sd card
rebooted the phone and went to file explorer opened the android folder doulbe clicked on clrcad then on haret
i was then stuck on the screen that i was before so i waited 5 mins just like you said to rebooted the phone and it was still on windows.
i repeated the same steps and waited ten minutes still no luck
also just so i understand after i waited five minutes should i be able to reboot the phone i do i have to pull the battery out like i did and where you put (when it reboots login etc)
is there any way you could email me a file to see if it is the files i am using
thanks for all you help so far guys!!!!
i am from th UK i dont know if that makes a difference
i have a 2gb sd card
i have just done some research on the radio versions and round a thread called master radio for the htc hd2 on xda but i am unsure which one to use and could this be the root of my problem thanks again
OS version 8.2.2.1869(21869.5.0.82)

ROM date 04/15/10
radio version 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol version 15.32.50.07U
i have just done a bit more research and found out that i need to use a .50 for flashing could this be a problem if i dont could this be th root of my problem
very big part I'd say.... It does say on just about EVERY build that you need a .50 radio NOT a .51....

no, depending on the class (speed) of your card it'll take 15-20 min to initalize on the first boot... theres alot going on in the background.
once its booted...ie: once it shows the initial android log in screen. ie: it has actualy booted into android.
if you pull the battery in the middle of the first boot, you just corupted the data it was writing.
format the card again - get rid of the corupted files.
now start over.
and yes, you got to have the corect radio installed etc.
most roms have a requirements list... if not folow the stickies.
as ive stated a ton of times in a ton of thereads, its worth installing ether droid explorer or adb on your pc if for no other reason but to be able to run a logcat so you can watch it run comandline, aswell as post it so others can help you debug/troubleshoot.
I have the same issue with linux showing that message then it boots up a green htc sign and stays there.. i left it there for 40 minutes waiting to see if anything would happen and never did. I had android running before but did a full format on my sd card and then installed another and this happens everytime i try.
I am running Miri_Dinik- V 19.0 WWE

greets matthias
I'm guessing you're talking about SD card android roms.
If so, is the android folder at the root of your sd card? Are all the the contents of the folder in there?
zimage, intrid, system image, blank data image (if the build requires you to have one, some builds make their own data.img) , all of those are in there? And you tried CLRCAD then haret right?
Also how long did you wait on the HTC screen? 20 mins? You should have if you didn't.
If you didn't wait 20 mins, and the build you are using is one that makes its own data.img, delete it. Retry running android.
If you know not of anything in what i've stated go search and read.
hi
jep all the files are in there and the phone starts again after the htc screen
when can i seee if it maks his own data ?
In the android folder. o.o
If you didn't have to put in a blank data image into the android folder or it didn't come with one, then it is an android build that makes its own.
You can also see in the startup.txt to see if it makes one.
If you see something like this data_size=512, in the startup.txt , it is making its own data image, of size 512 mb. To change the size simply change data_size= something else
eg data_size=1024, creates a 1gb data image.
i don't get it
there is a data file of 512mb
butt is that file the problem?
can someone please help beausause i'm getting crazy
If there is, then simply try reboot android. o.o I already said this in my first post...
At max it should take 20 mins for first boot. If it still doesn't boot, then maybe that build doesn't work (you should read the last pages of every build you want to try to see what works and what doesn't), try a different build.
hi
i ddid but after 30 sec the phone starts again in windows
i tried 3different builds
cyanogenmod 7 v2.6 (gingerbread) on HTC HD2
After installation MDJ’s CyanogenMod 7 v2.6 (gingerbread 2.3) I
experience the following problems on my HTC HD2 (dutch HD2 with latest
Radio):
After ending a call or pushing the end-call button, the HD2 buttons
stay on and the screen stays black and doesn’t respond at all.
I have to remove the battery to reset my HD2.
sorry for my english, i hope you understand my issue here.
By the way I’ve installed MAGLDR v1.3, and CWM 1.3 and HSPL->SPL2.08
on the device.
Everything works perfect except the above
Please HELP!!
Try a different winmo rom? You can try task 29, then flash the winmo rom. Also insignificant in my opinion, but may play a cause in your problem, which HSPL did you install? I know you installed HSPL 4, but be specific, which one from the menu it offered? Eg. I have HSPL 2.08 which is the most popular for running android.
@aem
I'm sorry but I've never experienced your problem before, nor have I tried MDJ's Cyanogen build extensively before. Well as they say if this doesn't work properrly, try something else. Meaning, try a different build and see how it plays out. Use titianium to backup anything you'd like.
i now am runnin the newest hspl i think it is 3.33..
the rom was miri_steve0007
now i am downloading energy leo rom
and a different radio
else can't you just tell me from the beginning what i have to do for playing android?
May have no effect what so ever, but install HSPL 2.08, maybe it might fix your problems. Your case is weird one to me. @[email protected]
For sd android. Theoretically and for some, there are no requirements for android except for a radio later than 2.08, Build and HSPL shouldn't matter, but it did for some.
The android folder should be at the root of your sd card meaning /android, and one should simply run CLRCAD then HARET and done, android should boot up.
If you're looking to run android off NAND (your phones internal memory, removing winmo completely) You need a radio later than 2.08, HSPL 2.08 and MAGLDR installed.
got a new prob
the htc wont load any image anymore its allways stuck at 0%
does somebody knows what i should do?
Ouch, all flashing just stops? Is the phone in bootloader mode? The tri color screen I mean.
I'm sorry but this is where my knowledge stops, sorry, i can't think of anything else to help you with right now. Worst case scenario, your device might acutally be having hardware problems and needs to be repaired.

[Mar 04][Q] Android on SD

Hi, this is my first post here
I've been here for a long time (well didn't have a handset so didn't find the need to join...)
I read through many articles and learned a lot from this forum
Last weekend I got my T-Mobile HD2 and I proceeded to install custom rom soon after
(latest Energy rom by NRGZ28- thanks)
The rom is awesome, it's just that I wanna try out android on my phone also...
I decided I'll try the SD first
So I followed a guide just downloaded the rom I want (MCCM GB V2.0 Gingerbread HoneyComb Sense theme) unzip, then copy to the root of my sd, run clrcad (don't know what he meant by working sound- I heard nothing) then run haret....
Then I am always stuck at the green letters screen forever, never get further...
I'm not sure what is wrong
I looked through all possible things
I did HardSPL4 and now has HSPL2.08, I got a custom rom
The only thing I did not change and think might be the problem is the radio...
my version is 2.10.50.26
Would flashing an updated radio make my android on sd work?
Is this "Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14**" ok for my HD2? (on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787)
Thanks for the help nice to talk to everyone~

Ha I guess you did not like the first option, so I will edit the whole post.
Running Andriod from SD is very simple as long as you follow the instructions to the T. If the Andriod folder you copied to your SD card has another folder in it that you have to open to get to CLRCLAD and HARET then you need to copy that folder to the root of your SD card. It is also important the name of the folder is Andriod. The first time you boot the Andriod it can take up to ten minutes sometimes cause it has to creat folders, files, and pathways. So maybe you are not giving it enough time to boot all the way up beforeo you hit the reset button or do a battery pull. Your SD card also needs to be formated correctly you want to format it usimg Fat 32, please make a back up copy of your card also if you reformat it as it will wipe it clean. Last but not least you may just have a bad download. Try redownloading the build and recopy it to your SD card then run CLRCAD and HARET.
The only thing a radio will do is cure robot sounding voices during a phone call while running Andriod but most builds now have that solved and are compatible with the current radio 2.15.50.14. Also when you touch on CLRCAD you will see or hear nothing it enables the sound on the Andriod build.
Last but not least being you have a TMOUS (T-Mobile) HD2. Be adviced that you most flash a radio version that has a 50 in the third set of numbers like 2.xx.50.xx. Do not flash a radio that has a 51 in the third set of numbers like 2.xx.50.xx. or a radio that looks like this 2.04.50.xx or 2.05.50.xx as they will brick your TMOUS HD2 reindering it usless for nothing but a paper wieght. And the only way to unbrick a HD2 is with a JTAG and a ORT wich will cost you and you will have to take your HD2 apart to fix.
O_O is the issue that difficult?
I don't mind calling though
Thanks
