I decided to partition my SD card today because i needed more space for my apps. I used ROM Manager to do the work. Everything went fine until it booted up. Now I'm stuck on the HTC screen. I read that the boot takes a while but I've been waiting for over an hour. I've also tried to pull the battery out and restart but I'm still stuck on that same screen. Anyone know how to fix this?
I do have this problem. I have to remove the SD card in order to boot successfully and reformat it to FAT32.
what rom you use?
I used to flash whitetigerdk v0.4 and got that problem but now I downgrade to v0.3 and problem's gone

SO here is the situation. I had my phone set up with cyanogenMOD and had just set up apps2sd. I thought Apps2sd was not running and I realized I had not partitioned the sd card the way I wanted to. I wiped the sd card repartitioned and reformatted. WHen I booted the phone all the apps on my home page were busted( gears for icons). I'm guessing that apps2sd was actually working and I just erased all my apps. Anyway I wiped the phone, reformatted the sd to 1 fat32 partition and downgraded to rc29, in order to just setup my phone from scratch. Now when I boot the phone many of the apps I had before will not install , they download and then i get an installation unsuccessful error. Oddly enough it seems to only happen to apps that i had on my phone when I messed up apps2sd.
Any thoughts on the problem. I would like too wipe and start over, but that doesn't get rid of the problem.
Is there a lower level wipe that can be done besides the factory reset?
\thanks

Did you reroot your phone. Once you load RC29 on again you loose root. Just to let you know, when you have problems like this you don't have to go back to RC29 again.
I did reroot the phone
And also, forgot to mention that after this i tried loading cyanogenMod again and it gets stuck in a loop when it boots and eventually goes to a grey screen.
Did you repartition your card again. And did you wipe (alt + w) before you loaded your rom.
I returned my card to 1 fat32 partition, and yes I did wipe.
Did you create an ext partition for your apps2sd?
no ...I wiped the phone, returned it to stock. No need for the partition. I just cannot install certain applications or the cyanogen rom
Hello,
I downloaded and installed the CM7 update this morning from my RC4 ROM. All went as they normally do when i switch ROMs, clear all cache and data, then install. It installed without error, but it got stuck in a boot loop. I had let the skateboarding android do his thing for almost 20 minutes to no avail. So i powered it off, re ran my steps and this time i got to the "touch the android to begin", but within a few seconds its back to the boot animation.
I have tried several times to re-install that ROM as well as RC4 and i can't get out of the boot loop. Some times it will give me an error that there is something wrong with the update file, and sometimes it goes right along with the install, either way it ends in a boot loop.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

EDIT: i said RC2, i meant to say RC4!
EDIT2: I went for RC1, and it reports (status 7), Installation aborted. Did i some how lock a part of the file system i need?
Ok I'm back up. Here is what i did after messing with it for a while;
1. backed up my SD card (mounted via recovery)
2. went into the partitions menu and formated everything but the boot section (including the SD)
3. re mounted the SD card and copied the CM7 final to it
4. Installed zip from SD
With in minutes i was back up and running
RC4 is broken. Happened to me aswell. Just download stable released yesterday
Whenever I try to boot up an Android SD ROM through MAGLDR, it all seems to go right until it gets to the lock screen and then, the phone freezes. Always in the same spot where I can see the wallpaper, the date and time, the No Service sign and "Preparing SD card" on the status bar on top. This same thing happens with all ROM's, so it's not ROM specific. Also, I have had a ROM installed since before this started happening and that one runs fine. It's only new ones as they try to boot up for the first time.
I was wondering if anyone has any idea of what could be causing this and how I can fix it without having to repartition the entire SD card again, reinstall WP7, etc. That's a lot of work. I have even tried formatting the partition and that didn't work.
Thanks in advance.
Solution
For anyone else having this problem, my solution was to DELETE (formatting wasn't enough) the Android partition, then recreating it and then installing my ROM. That way, I did not mess up the WP7 installation.
Hi all, I'm using the XBMOD/YUKI for like 3 weeks, and I always have the same problem:
Everything freezes at reboot
I tried to flash on a sd card (good quality.) from 7004 to 7008 and nothing, same problem.
I tried to flash to 7392 without SD card, everything works fine, then I reset, Insert the card, wp7 boot but next reboot--> Freeze.
I tried with every kind of card, The one with only mbr deleted and 24 nand dedicated, the one full formatted, I'm trying to enjoy this rom since 3 weeks, but nothing. Always I got a freeze at reboot.
Can someone help me? Really thanks.
Kind regards, Mark.
Your problem is obviously with the SD cards you've been using. Just keep trying with different cards, preferably Sandisk class 4\6.
Hi guys sorry if this is in the wrong place, i'm new on here and have read loads of the threads on my problem but so far no luck. Firstly the spec of my phone:
Unbranded HTC HD2
SPL-2.08.HSPL
magldr v1.13
Backed up everything a few days ago and now on trying to use that backup the new kernel I have flashed doesn't agree with the backup and doesn't go any further.
What i'm trying to do is flash JellyBean to the phone as the original stock rom was getting unstable but now i'm beginning to think it may be the hardware thats unstable.
Anyway what i've done is factory reset, wipe cache, partition sd card, 32mb and 512mb I've tried installing the rom and kernel on NAND only, that is fine up until the htc boot screen with the rusty android robot and then hangs and reboots.
I've tried SD card only and that only gets to go go go and then stops.
I've tried NAND and SD card and that gets to rusty robot and hangs and reboots.
My battery is fully charged.
Just incase its of any use the reason why i wanted to update was that the wifi had stopped working and occasionally the phone would hang on the android robot and reboot for no reason, I found removing the SD solved the problem. Thought it may be the same here so i removed the SD card on the NAND attempt but that didn't change a thing.
Help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Dan
