[q] android build good for 1 launch only w/ reboot resulting in failure

OK FELLAS,
i'm not a noob. been flashing for a while now and am pretty much tech savvy, but this one has me for a loop. recently, my phone just started doing this; i can install and launch any and all android builds so readily available here from the XDA chefs. EVEN the DARKSTONE DESIRE HD BETA 2 worked and i played with it for an hour or so. HERE IS THE PROBLEM; i used to in the beginning be able to boot android over and over and over with my android launcher icon thats built into the current energy rom im using. (24631 04 sep) however now after a reboot, I run into a brick wall with the prompt that reads "cant find rootfs. you need to unzip a rootfs file to your memory card. job control turned off"
here are the things i have tried to remedy this:
1. format card= didnt fix
2. try a different card= i have 3 different cards; this didnt fix it either.
Only thing i havent tried which i am reluctant to try is task 29 and reload the WINMO ROM.
ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THIS AND IF SO, HOW DID YOU FIX IT?

What Rom radio you using?
Are you using an auto boot or multiboot
Are you renaming the folder to Android and putting that folder on root? And dies your startup file read rel_path=android
If all correct
Seems like task29
And new Rom radio is the answer

ALSO AN UPDATE; REFLASHED 24631 UPDATED DATE,TIME,QUICK GPS, AND THEN GET THIS; IT BOOTED DESIRE HD ROM SUPER QUICK BUT OTHER BUILD IM USING Core_Droid_V.0.2 STILL DIDNT WORK. IM GONNA TRY DROPPING ANOTHER ROOTFS.IMG ON THE CARD AND TRY AGAIN.

I had a similar problem, the problem was that I had unzipped the contents of the "android" folder to the root of my SDcard. What I should have done was copy the folder to the root of the SDcard, after I did this it worked perfectly

I have the same problem here, but not only with the DARKSTONE DESIRE HD BETA 2 ROM. A lot Android ROMs boots great the first time, but after a phone reboot I was unable to boot the Android ROM again.
It shows me these message: "cant find rootfs. you need to unzip a rootfs file to your memory card. job control turned off" or the boot loader freezed completely with some stripes on the screen. any ideas?
RAIDO: 2.08.50.05

Update:
Got a solution from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788764
Just extract your DARKSTONE DESIRE HD BETA 2 ROM into "/Storage Card/Android" and boot it. done!

All you have to do is delete the android folder everytime you boot up android. I was running into the same thing after the initial setup worked good but wouldn't boot back after I went back to windows.

[Q] Froyostone v2 Installation

I haven't seen a thread for this question, I don't know, it could be possibly because its a bad question. But basically, I'm new to putting Android on the HD2 so I don't completely understand 100% of what I am reading. I've installed Android about 3 times, but always deleted it and went back to WinMo cause of the calling issue.
All I would like to know is, do I have to download anything specific or run anything before or after I run the CLCRD and HaRet in the Android folder from the Froyostone v2 .rar?
In the Froyostone v2 thread I noticed this, and I am wondering if I need to download anything from the following threads in order to run this version perfectly.

Thank you

idk but i have tried five different builds and mine runs a few lines then gets to "booting android kernel" then stops as the screen slowly fades to black. I want android on this damn thing. WTH am i doing wrong??

First, I am no expert on Android. However, I was able to get the Froyostone V2 working, and have been using it awhile.
You do need to format your SD card to FAT 32. You need to make sure the Android folder is on the root of your SD card (for Froyostone anyway-I think it is different for other builds). According to Darkstone, you should not have any other "Android" folders on your card.
Once all that is done, just open the folder and run CLRCAD and HARET.
As far as the robo voice, I don't have it running the Energy ROM.
EDIT: Forgot to answer your original question: I did not download anything other than the original build. I believe that is just an FYI from Darkstone you are referring to, and he says "included in build".

[Q] Help! with Android 2.2 installation

Hi, all I have a HTC HD2 on T-mobile i never really used it as i have a Iphone aswell and found the windows app store to be pointless all though the phone is a great bit of kit technically windows lets it down. so when i found out you could switch to android i was happy and tried it.
I believe i followed all the steps correctly
firstly I flashed my phone successfully using HSPL3_PKG got the "we hacked message" so that was done with no problems.
Second i installed "Energy.Leo.21683.Sense2.5.Cookie.Cookie.2.0.Touch.Of.Glass.Nov.02" rom onto my phone that was done succesfully.
I then downloaded the FroyoStone_Sense_V3.2 build copied it on to my SD card. I then follow the steps given to run ANDROID but all i ever get is 9 lines of text these 9 lines read
haret boot
shutting down hardware
turning off mmu...
in preloader
PSR=60000DF
tags relocated to 0x11808000(size 0x00000f00)

and it doesnt get beyond these lines can any one help me please i would really appreciate it.
Thank you

[Q] Best android build for my phone?

Hello,
I have a htc hd 2 and recently someone told me that i can have android on this phone so i start search around and found this page as the best page to ask this quastion,
I searched around on this forums and found alot of builds and information about how to install it on my phone but i dont know what to choose,
so my simply quastion is what "build" installation guid should i follow?
ofcourse i want the latest and the most stable version,
Info about my phone,
Operation system: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manillaversion: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM-version: 1.48.413.3 (71294) SVE
ROM-date 12/2/09
and when i press down the volume button and turn it on and get the 4 color screen it says;
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30
Hope someone can give me some tips and links to guids that i can follow to get android stable and fine on my phone, should prefer a dualboot so i can choose what i want after restart,
Its better that i say that i have never played with my phone like this before,
Maby a year ago i had android on my x1 but that wasent hard at all to do,

Tnx for now!
Trexo

If you are going to use an sd build you can choose americandroid
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

Do i need to change anything then? SPL or something like that?
i followed his instruction and it hang on Jumping on kernel (custom)
Or do i need to w8 loonger?
Tnx for now

If you install android on sd then you no need nothing else.
If you use nand android, you need install:
1. hspl
2. Radio rom (recomended)
3. magldr
4. Flash clockwork recovery with correct partition layout.
And you may choose android from
Android.hd2roms.com

sd ROMs are meant to be booted from your sd card keeing windows mobile where as nand ROMs take over the space and delete windows mobile. it will boot up directly into android by having a nand android build on your phone.
if you ask 10 ppl here what build is better you might get 11 different answers. mutil suggested americandroid which is a good build thats updated often for sd. i personally like nand over sd & what I feel is one of the best nand builds to start off with is CMYLXGO's BlueTopia HD found here. he gives a very detailed explantion on how to install it including all the files you will need including installing magldr which is needed to install android to nand.
there are other programs that will allow you to install android but i feel magldr is a good starting point. not to scare you off but the only draw back with magldr is your phone will not charge when its turned off. if you dont like the fact that you lose windows mobile by going this route you can always revert back to stock windows mobile.

Go to this and update your Rom (your build isn't working because of the older rom version)
Then take your android build of your choice and copy android folder to SD card. Clrcad and Haret. All should work fine.

Best for me is BOYPPC:

Runs perfectly smooth and fast, without bugs by now in the latest version (I have "Ginger 2.3.4 Sense.s_V35" installed! (install by MAGLDR 1.13!)
Maybe u should first inform about MAGLDR and CWR

I'm currently running the newest AmeriCanAndroid SD build.
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
This is currently my favorite SD-build.
It's very fast and smooth.

Im using nand miui rom tuned from jw.

[Q] Simple Instructions Please - Confused!

Hi,
After reading many many threads & watching dozens of videos, & downloading & trying loads of files I still can not get my HTC HD2 to multi-boot ,
The only result so far is to get it to reboot to a lot of minuscule text , way too small to read.
I would like to use the latest android gingerbread & linux ( & maybe xp ?) etc without screwing up / overwriting the windows 6.5 mobile. (it is my primary phone / pda but can not get software for some tasks these days )
Phone is the 512 flash version
Please can someone post simple precise step by step instructions to do the above, including the files needed & how to recover from snafu's.
Many thanks in advance.

Extremely simple. Make sure you have the latest stock ROM 3.14 or a custom ROM, but you must have a .50 Radio. Download Android SD Rom. Place the Android folder on the SD card. Run clrcad and haret. Success.

Thank You, please can someone post links to the exact files required ?
Thanks again
M

So you have still WinMo6.5 on NAND with default loader or you have changed loader already (MAGLDR, cLK)?
What radio do you have? It´s written on boot - those red signs on low left corner. You must have 2.*.50.* one.

No 'exact files required' exist, just find a ROM, download it, place the Android folder on the root of your SD card and enjoy.

Thanks, sorry to point this out but "download a file & use it" is not too helpful ( WHICH files & FROM WHERE? & in What ORDER ?) - have downloaded lots of files & used them , only succeeded in B**ring the phone to the point of a factory reset & many many crashes.
Sorry about this but I am not an experienced phone hacker/ modifier , just need something that works & works well - any help is appreciated
Many Thanks in Advance

OK, you have bad radio version. You have to chnage it to 2.x.50.x (you have 51 actually). Follow this guide to change radio - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881958 It´s step A. When you follow this guide step by step, you should make it work easily

Yes, do that, or, much less riskily (not involving HSPL or anything along those lines) download the Official Stock ROM 3.14 from the HTC website and flash this. There are full guides on the HTC website. This will give you the correct radio.
@ OP, Download the files and use it is as simple as it gets, all you need to do is download the ROM from the ROM thread (the files will have the same name as the ROM title, choose the one which DOES NOT say 'Magldr' as this is for a different bootloader), place the Android folder on SD card and then run Clrcad and Haret. If you cannot understand this, I am unable to help you.

Many thanks again for the replies,
Upgraded the htc ROM , now can boot both Ubuntu & Android from windows
But...
started installing apps to the android & soon ran out of space
One of the threads recommended re-sizing the data.img BUT when I did that & installed the bigger file, apps market crashes , (as sometimes does the loader)
So great to have android but not so good if it does not have the required space.
ALSO
can not see the phone from either my windows or Linux computer EXCEPT when running windows - neither the htc or windows sync programs see it nor does the file system on linux
Any thoughts on the above please?
Many thanks in advance

Seems odd, I never had any of those issues? Try a different ROM maybe. What ROM have you tried?
