Not all build types are the same. You may introduce problems by hanging on the the data.img of different builds.

[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.

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.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
ye....... the problem is that i done that all.........
just weird.

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.

did try, makes no difference
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.

there are a few process that you need to do, as of now you have WP7 which took up almost 99% of your SD card, so you must process that card so that you can either put an Android SD or Native SD, I hope your card is big enough to make other partitions.
Try the links below & use what ever you need, BTW if you made a mistake in the process you can't/ won't access your WP7 anymore
But you can make a back up image of your existing WP7 SD card to another card just in case.

Oh i see.
So if this is possible would it be possible to triple boot, wp7, stock android, and android with htc sense?
Also, is the android installation on the video the same for every other android rom such as this http://www.ihelplounge.com/how-to-flash-mode-hd2-htc-android-with-htc-sense-35-custom-rom/ for example?

You've chosen a NAND ROM, you need to choose an SD ROM.

What can be installed without SD-card

Hi
I just wanted to know what operating system beside windows mobile 6.5 I can install on a HD2 without an SD-card?
I know it's the best to get an SD-card for installing something else than WM6.5, but I get the HD2 tomorrow and the SD-card arrives to the retailer on Monday, so I can't wait to get going. I mostly wanted to install Android 4.x.x on it, but from what I read, it's almost impossible to install Android on it without an SD-card.
Welp, you can't install Android on SD, that's for sure, and installing WP7 without it is not a good idea since the OS takes majority of internal memory and you are left few megabytes. You can also install some old Android ROMs which are distributed not through zips, but through special exe files which are compatible with magldr. The rest (which is all the newer ROMs) needs to be installed through recovery which needs SD card to install it.
