Dreaded screen freeze. - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi all, I'm new to android, and after trying several different builds am ready to give up trying (even tho I LOVE android) due to the problems I keep having.
When I boot into android, it works fine for a while (varying from 5 minutes to over a day) then I get a frozen screen, which stays frozen even after re-booting into Windows. Sometimes this stays frozen for HOURS and makes the phone unusable.
The last attempt was with Hyperdroid v1.6 and it worked fine for 15 minutes, (yes I turned off the auto -rotate display) then it froze up.
If anyone has any ideas/pointers/advice, it would be MAHOOSIVELY appreciated

Please post some more information including your radio and rom versions.
When I have problems I always start from a clean slate including a task29, flash the latest radio, rom and download a new build to a formatted sd card. Try builds that use different kernels.
Beyond that you can start swapping kernels different kernels into your build.

i think I've sorted it thanks polo735, after reading your post I finally researched task29, ran it and reinstalled everything and it seems (touch wood) to be stable now Happy Days!!!! Many thanks

jumping to kernel

have a tmo us hd2
had a past version of android with sense it worked fine. tried a different and got the pause at jumping to kernel so tried a clean version, it worked. ive booted it plenty of times, then tonight it stopped working
so im trying froyostone with sense and now it wont boot either
im on omega v7 newest and radio 2.1.5.28_2
I was on the same problem, i think you have the android files directly on your SD Card? So that is the problem, put them in a new folder android.
That helps me, the first boot was by me also possible, but after that all reboots end in "jumping to kernel"
nope. theyre in the android folder.
and i just tried switching to the 2.12 radio
the strangest part is that is was working the past few days and earlier today...
id understand a certain build not working but why would it randomly stop working.
Have you made, since this problem more reboots. I have on my HD2 sometimes that i must boot 2-3 times to come up
yup, tried multiple reboots and both radios
have you solved a problem? I've similar problem. Each time I turn on the phone - I'm getting this error. Sometimes it helps to remove "cache' folder and some others and restart twice or may be 3 times. But no working 100% solution.

ppp vr.
Market ok
WIFI ok
BT ok
whitout freezes

Very good job, DEV team you are masters
When I'm getting stuck at jump to kernel, I normally remove and reinsert the sd card when I booted into WM and most of the time that fixes it.
I (and other members) have found that "Jumping to kernel..." freeze occurs when one is using Windows for a period of time. The solution is usually to re-boot and once Windows loads *immediately* boot into Android. This has not failed me yet! Before I was like you, wondering why sometimes I get the freeze and other times I don't...but a fresh boot into Android solved my issue.
Hope this helps.
have you changed the kernal lately or switched any file , or renamed anything
have you tried changing the startup.txt file? look around for that solution..it has been posted here many times.
I would give you a link but I am posting from my cell so it would be a little difficult.

[Q] ROMs work great, except...?

Hey all, been poking around the forums and trying out various WM and Android ROMS and they all seem to work beautifully, kudos to the devs.
I seem to be running into a bit of a problem though.
My phone is an MP6900 (Vogue 100) from Bell. And while the roms work great, the second my phone goes into standby mode (when not attached to my comp) the phone resets.
I have tried four different roms, two android and two WM and the problem persists.
Also hard resets, battery removal etc etc to no avail.
I also tried to roll back the radio as that got updated when I went to my stock rom previously.
And to boot I can't seem to flash back to the stock ROM anymore, while I was able to even just yesterday. I get Error 262, for whatever reason.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and could point me in the right direction.
And I did a search on the forum (pre-registration) but couldn't find anything, sorry if this has been brought up before.
Again, great work on all of the ROMs! I had no idea phones had come this far. (Sad to say but true lol)

Sounds like a dying battery to me.
It worked fine in the original Windows though so that's why I am a bit baffled.
what happens if you put your device in bootloader and try to flash to stock? Error 262 is a connection error. basically happens whenever some event interrupts the flashing process (a dead battery will cause this). If you haven't yet, try to flash to stock via the method in this post (bootloader and then flash)
Tried that, didn't work. Just gets to 31% and pops 262 no matter how I try to do it.
The odd thing is though that I can flash any other ROM just fine.
Would reformatting the SD card work?
Figured it out. I used the 0.41 ROM to unlock the phone which was causing the issues. I reflashed with the 2.3.1 and everything works fine.

0.41 was reportedly having tons of issues, you should have started from there
Glad you got it working.

[Q] Nearly all NAND builds giving constant lock ups -help!

I've been playing with different android builds for almost a year. Before NAND I've always had mixed luck and after playing with many radios and builds I ended up using Shrubcraft's stock build as the only reliable one I could find.
Finally, I put Cotulla's first stable Desire NAND on at the beginning of the year and it has worked fine until recent I started having a couple freeze issues while using certain apps.
So here is my problem... I've caught up to speed with the new magldr and tried to flash 3 different newer builds. HyperDroid-CM7.v1.0.3, NexusHD2-Gingerbrad v2.4, and HyperDroidGBX-v10. NONE of them work.
All give me problems with robo voice, which I can solve by shutting off key tones. After that I'm still stuck with sluggishness, sleep of death, and random lock ups (twice while only trying to run the initial setup).
I've tried formatting my sd card, cleaning all of the data/cache with AD recovery, trying 4 or 5 radio combos with each. I've even looked through peoples posts and found the exact ROM/radio combo that they are saying is stable and trying those with no luck.
I'm running out of ideas. Any thoughts?
Currently:
HTC HD2 - TMOUS
Radio: 2.12.50
ROM: Cotulla's stable Desire NAND

blackSideSeven v2.05.7592 installing problem

Hy everyone;
Because i am not allowed to post in the development forum i had to post my problem here...
I had the "HD2O© v1.14 WP7 BUILD 7.0.7392.0 NODO" ROM and now want to flash "blackSideSeven v2.05.7592".
I execute the "Task29" Utility. And made a HardReset.
Then i installed the Mango ROM like i did it by HD2O before in the MAGLDR.
But now the problem is that only the HTC Screen appears and nothing else.
I also installed it a second time, same problem...
What can i do?
EDIT: Now i flashed HD2O again and it works perfect.
So, only blacksideseven not works...
_______________________
i know...bad english^^
I had the same problem with the latest XBmod ROM. After installation it just stops in the HTC screen.
I also didnt get help so far...
Did you try another Mango ROM?
Maybe you take out your SDCard, format it with some proper format tool to make it clean.
then you reformat the fone with task29.
then you try again.
its also 2.06 out now. try that.
I can just say for myself that I only tried the XBmod ROM. I did Task29 etc... SDFormatter... nothing!
I dont have a SD Card in my HD2
I do find it kind of odd that I'm unable to flash mango again. It all started when I decided to flash blacksideseven 2.06 rom from elfinlazz mango, which has been working. I've always been able to flash WP7 without ever having to do task29. Well, in the process of flashing blacksideseven I had a problem as it was throwing an error everytime it reached part.004. I tried it two more times with the same result. Then I moved to a different port and successful on the second attempt. It never worked as either it was caught in a boot cycle or it was just freeze at the HTC screen. I decided to do task29 and reflash magldr and the rom again but still can not get in. I tried elfinlazz rom again and then Yuki's but still no luck. Changed SD cards and nada! So as of right now I'm currently starting everything back from scratch by doing task29 and then magldr and stock 6.5 and then back to mango to see what happens.
P.S. As I'm writing 6.5 started up with no problems! Need to charge the phone because I've been at this since last night. I hate this!
Edit: It worked. But, you know what? I think I'm staying with 6.5 now. I mean WP7 was fun for me for 6 months that it was on my phone from dft original all the way up to mango beta 1. I found myself using my android side more often than WP7 every since Mango because I needed something reliable as WP7 mango had issues due to its beta stage. Not even 20 minutes passed before my WP7 got a no sim error! I thought I needed to restart it anyways and on the subsequent boot up it rebooted 5 times before it got stuck on the htc screen for 35 minutes. Another manual reboot worked but 20 minutes later it just went to no sim error again, so I decided i'm not gonna take this headache anymore! Elfinlazz rom previous was good but there were certain things I needed like data that didn't work 100% of the time. Again, it was fun. I believe I may go back some day. Hopefully somebody will work out the SD card issue because I believe this is the main problem I have with WP7. Maybe some workaround in the future. Good luck guys!
Now i have installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157535 and it works without problems...
Thats the ROM I had before trying to flash Blacksideseven. It was fine for a few days and then after that the data stopped working regularly. Then about a few days ago data disappeared entirely! That is what prompted me to try a different ROM. Now I'm stuck back with 6.5. Eww! Now it reminds me of how clunky this OS is. Been on it for few hours and I'm missing my WP7 already! Thank god I still have my android.

[Q] Whats wrong with this HD2? Anyone else getting these problems?

Ok first and foremost...I have tried searching
I have been a lurker most of the time here on xda seeing as if I just search and read I'll get most of my answers, but not this time.
Ok some background info first:
TMOUS US HD2 1024Leo
Radio: I'm not 100% sure but I did a task29 that supposedly flashed 2.15.50.14
HSPL: 2.08
MAGLDR 1.13
I bought this phone about a year ago, flashed tytung's Nexus HD2 Gingerbread rom which worked flawlessly for about 10 months or so. One day the phone froze up, pulled battery then inserted and the rom reset to the point where it was like new. Around that time tytung's ICS AOSP thread came alive and I followed it closely watching the updates and what not.
I never installed it until Beta 10. Followed his instructions, set up the partition to 200MBs with a cache of 45MB...45MB for cache because I suspect I may have some bad NAND blocks. Anyways install went flawlessly, everything that was supposed to work, worked...ect ect
Used it for about 24hrs then all of a sudden it froze, when I rebooted I started getting all these random apps crashing(gapps[google apps?], Email, Google Login Services ect), needless to say I task29'd the HD2 and reinstalled everything, worked fine for a day then everything started crashing again.
So after all that info I'm just wondering if someone is experiencing the same problems and/or can maybe lead me in the right direction to figure out this problem.
I know its only a beta but I havent read many posts containing my problems. So Im just left wondering if my NAND is going bad completely and I need a new phone or if theres just something I'm doing wrong.
Before i begin - I have no experience with that Rom, these are just common general ideas.
1) as the rom starts well and then only after a day it breaks, maybe it is because of something (update) getting installed on your device. Have you tried fixing permissions after you encounter the problem?
Or try figuring out which update of which app does it.
2)It also might be the problem of the nand bad blocks, if you suspect it, but if thats the case, there is not really a lot you can do...
No offense, but that's the reason its beta. It doesn't have all the bugs worked out yet.
If you're looking for a daily driver, you should try something more stable.
Hi,
Not sure if you still have this problem..
Have you tried re-installing the ROM again or a different ROM to confirm if the issue is with your phone (hardware) or with the ROM (beta version)?
