[q] tmous hd2 to android?

Sorry to start a new thread but I've tried and tried again to follow some of the instructions with no success.
I have a standard TMOUS HD2 with HSPL but with stock
ROM: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio: 2.10.50.26
A how to would be nice, I've followed HD Geek's How-To, but I'm unsure if it was meant for TMOUS becuase I've not been able to get passed what looks like a locked screen with backlight on after flashing Android Rom. And when I do softreset, because it freezes at lock screen with backlight, my Sense time will no longer update and my emails disappear. Any help would be appreciatted.

if sense is giving you problems in winmo after you reboot from android try formatting your sd card. i had the same issue where sense wouldn't load and various other problems and after a quick format everything worked just fine. while it's no requirement to get a custom rom it does help though. stock winmo is just not as good as it could be.
also if you get the screen of death try hitting the rest button on the back of the phone and loading it again, after one or two times of doing this it usually will fix itself.
what flavor of android are you using?

Using hd2 as daily driver
First, you need to use a microsd card that is at least a class 4 or above. You need to format it fat32, full format and not a quick format.
Second, you need to download tarantula's v1.2 Android image
Thirs, get the latest cotulla zImage from http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/Cotulla_zImage_VOLUME_SR_AUD.rar
Put them all together and you have a fully functioning android phone.

I'm running [BUILD][03.08.2010] (Android 2.2. Froyo) reformatted card again but still having issue with sense after boot. Will try a higher class card tomorrow. Thanks for the advise

Make sure you also flash a custom rom. there are many reports that the default HD2 rom causes errors with the android running.

[Q] HTC HD2 Android Boot Error (Black Screen)

Hello together,
i've got some problem with my htc hd2.
first a few facts:
my actual winmo rom is the cookie energy rom build 21916 (german)
my radio rom is 2.14.50.04
my hspl is 2.08 from cotulla
my android rom is mdeejay froyo v3.3 with hastarin 7.1
now the problem...
when i try to start android (first clrcad then haret) the boot loader shows a few lines. the last is "jumping to kernel"
then after a few seconds these lines vanish and there is black screen.
only way to reboot is to remove the battery.
i've got a 8gb san disk microsd...
before installing the winmo rom and android rom i erased my htc with task29 and formatted the microsd with fat32.
i also tried different winmo and android roms but theres always the same error...
plz help me
thanks

any suggestions?

I have the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I´m working on it for 2 weeks now!!!!!!!But i get no results!!!
I tested it with differet sd-cards, many ROM´s... no chance its everytime the same!!!!
Then i tested it on the HD2 from my brother! he has the same ROM, same Radio same HSPL...
and it works on evry of my SD Cards!!!!!!! WHYYY???
Please need Help!!!!!!!!!
PS: Wenn du das Problem gelöst hast bitte schreib mir!!!

boot error
Use the the chucky rom , I have no issues with this rom.

Does your windows mobile report 576MB memory in hardware information screen? Is it possible that you have a 320MB prototype/pre-release hd2s maybe? Normally all hd2s except pre-release models have 576MB physical ram. European models are capped at 448MB unless you update your radio and rom. But pre-release models will still have 320MB and unfortunately won't be able to boot android even if you edit android memory settings. (Cotulla says, even if you are able to run, it will be buggy and laggy)
Note: I am not talking about free memory. I am talking about the full memory reported in hardware information page in winmo.

My HD2 is from Vodafone and 3 month´s now. i hava a gotrip ROM (5.9) on it now with 546 RAM.
The older Android builds worked for a while!!!

same problem
HELLLLLP!!! I really want to try this out but it seems that my HD2 won't load it. i'm running energy rom and I've flashed android on this phone before. I've hard reseted my phone as well as reformated my SDcard but when every I go to launch harret, the linux screen pops up and the lettering (about two lines with no penguin logo) changes to a pinkish color and the next screen is a white screen with HTC on it. I don't know what to do. and now it seems I cant load any version of Android on it.

im having the problems as you people
but the thing with me is that, andriod use to boot but later on when i installed the stock rom and went back to the energy rom it just wont boot :'(

i got my andriod to work
this is how i did it ...
1) make sure you format your SD card using this software www(dot)sdcard(dot)org/consumers/formatter/sdfv2000(dot)zip and make sure its NOT a quick format
2) make sure your radio is around Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2
3) follow this guide www(dot)forum(dot)xda-developers(dot)com/showthread(dot)php?t=732380
(replace the "(dot)" with "." for the URL to work)
hope this help ( by the way i was writing this whilst booting my andriod and it works =) )

Should I change ROM & Radio? Now I have shiped rom.
Is this can change something?

I had the exact same problem. Been trying 1000s of ways to fix it but no help. Cant ever get android to load again. Im hoping the nand version build will work.

What loader to use if I want to use only android ?

alias_scg, what Radio + ROM did you use to fix it?
I've been having this problem over 3 weeks and I finally found the post with similar behavior with my HD2.
Now, I'll try 2.12.50.02_2 meanwhile for mdeejay.
I'd been using all suggested ROM and Radio from those chef's original posts, though.

I also got this weird problem... having stock rom/radio whatever.. just got the phone yesterday... but will try a other rom+radio etc. and see if that works
EDIT:
Ok guys i also got this fixed...
I upgraded my radio + rom and then it worked all fine!

HELP!
I am having the exact same problem as the rest of you's,
has anyone managed to find a fix.
My rom is still the official telstra rom, so maybe thats the problem ?

Android refusing to boot?

I have been using Darkstone' Android ROMS with no problems, but since I moved to the Froyostone Version 3.2, Android just freezes at the boot screen. I have did an upgrade, full clean install but it just does not work. Now, even going back to the older builds does not work ( They also hang at boot too ) . When it hangs at boot too, there are no error messages of any sorts. I have reformated my SD card, redownloaded the Android files, deleted the data.img files and even reflashed my Windows Mobile ROM. Also, I have left the phone on Android without a data.img to let it recreate a new one before use, but it still hangs ( I have left the phone untouched for nearly 14 hours ) . It just hangs at the boot screen. Anyone wants to help?

i have the same problem :O
spl: hslp2.08
radio: 2.10.50.26
wmrom: VBNROM *Reloaded 2* (just the normal one)

I am having the same problem. I have spent hours searching and reformatting my 16gb SD card, with no luck.
I have an unbranded, Euro/Asia HD2, HSPL3, ROM 1.66 707.1 WWE, Radio 2.09.51.03-2 (I believe all the .50 radios are for T-Mobile USA and .51 radios are for Euro/Asia).
I have tried using Froyostone sense V3.2 and HD2Froyo V3.7, to no avail. After I boot into Windows, I run clrcad.exe then haret.exe. Linux starts to boot, but stops at line 9..."jumping to kernel". Then nothing.
What am I missing here? I am burned out from trying to read all the threads that I think might have the answer!

I had this problem one week ago, I first changed wm rom and radio without success.
Then I formatted my sd card and it works again.

[Q] Boot Failure Black Screen Green HTC

Hi, this is my first post on this forum so first of all I would like to appolagise for all the things I've either just done wrong, or am about too....
I am trying to install android on to my phone, I am on the stock rom but have succsesfully installed HSPL3 and radio version 2.11.50.20.
I have tried a few builds of Android but allways have one of 2 results.
Once I've run clrcad followed by harlet, it tells me I'm booting to linux. The screen then goes black, it runs about 8 lines of code, stops there and changes to a black screen with a green HTC. Where it remains indefinatly.
A friend with anouther HD2 has android working fine on his device, and altho he has a custom rom he tells me its not essential, as ive read up on the potential risks I would rather stick with the stock but will change if thats whats causing the problem.
I would really appreciate some suggestions, thanks in advance for your time and help.
Peter

forgot to add, the second result is the screen going blue indefinatly, which I presume from my extensive knowledge.........lol is a blue screen of death

upgrade your radio, im on 2.12.50, and the newest is 2.15.50
also, try a modded windows mobile rom, i use standard energy with no issues.
also, make sure you only have that one android build on your SD card. and that it's a new build, not an ancient one. (check http://android.hd2roms.com/)
you shouldnt have any more issues.

Thanks for the advice, unfortunatly before seeing your post I uprgraded too chuckeys rom, not energy, but get the exact same error... Leads me to beleive the problem is elsewhere. Will keep trying tho hope its worth it.

Jai meme problme mon rom est miri hd2 v_18.0 wwe ? Radio 2.15.50.14 ?

Same problem here, tried to change my wm rom and didn't work. I'm looking tonight if I can find a solution...

A little disclaimer
I will not be for any damage that may be caused to your device, HSPL remove warranty so be carefull. Don't forget to have more than 50% of battery remaining before the process !
So, maybe here is the solution:
I've try again with differents roms, changing my wm rom etc. and nothing works.
But, at the end I've change my radio rom to Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Then installed Chucky GTX Lite rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618787
And to finish I've installed the bootloader and download MDJFroYoRevolution 1.4 with android 2.2
I've use the 512 Data img too (just unzip your MDJFroYoRevolution, take the 512 or 1Go file and put this file on your Android root.) isn't necessary but takes less time to work first time.
After that still not working so I managed to try to remove all files from my sd card (2Go only) and I put on ONLY MDJFroYoRevolution 1.4+512Mo Data img !
Then after 10mn~ it works !
I think the bug is only because sd card haven't enough space to create all files so the HTC logo stuck and no error message appear.
Don't forget to install the bootloader on your memory internal storage! and not the on the sd card!
Good luck everyone and I hope it will help.
ps: sorry for my english hope you understand anything

Having the same problem here. I've tried different versions of WM, different Android builds, updated the latest radio rom, all without success.
Strange thing is though that Android boots the first few times, but after resetting it more than about three times it gets stuck on the black screen with the HTC letters in the middle. The only way to get it running again is reformatting my SD card (8G). Only thing on it is the Mdeejay Froyo Sense v2.3 Clean...

Solution for the freeze screen after second boot
I put android not in the root directory but in a \Android directory on the SD CARD.
of course, I add set cmdline "rel_path=Android" in the Startup.txt file and now i can reboot my phone when i want.

Always use the custom winmo Rom sugested by the Android Builder. Simple as. The myth of "Stock ROM will be sufficient" should end
Peter[/QUOTE]

Not true. I've installed on a couple of peoples HD2's using the latest stock WWE rom with radio 2.15. It does work, and it works very well.
I'm not saying you shouldn't use custom roms, that is everyone's prerogative (as you can see from my sig I use VBN's rom and it's perfect for me).

Try to move a folder called Android from sd card to another folder or delete it and it should help. It worked in my case. Good luck!

has someone hear find an answer?

given up
I have tried many combos and radios and still stucked at green htc loading logo now i am just hoping for nand. strange thing its the volume down and end does not bring bootloader anymore.

[Q] Android not booting from SD card

Hi Guy's, I'm totally new to trying to boot android fromSD on the Hd2. I have tried putting the Android folder from MDJ Froyo 4.6 onto the root of my SD card. I've run CLRCAD and haret. All get is the black screen with 'loading linux' (which remains stationary). I have left the phone for up half an hour and its still stationary an no Android. I,ve tried reformatting 2 cards. Help !!!

Hi ! You'd better change to an Android NAND Build, I'm currently using Android 2.2 NexusHD2 Froyo V1.9G Build on NAND, but I'm also using SD Android builds to test them..
So I never met problems when booting into Android.. but I'm using the latest Radio: 2.15.50.14 ..
By the way if you're booting into Android through CLRCAD & Haret, this means you're currently on WinMo 6.5, so it may be that your current WinMo 6.5 ROM is old, so try this one, if you're using European HD2, try to update your ROM to version 3.14.405.2, which is this one: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1043&news_id=782, but if you're using the T-Mobile US HD2, then try to update to ROM 3.14.531.1, which is this: http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobileUS/DeviceDownloads.aspx?pid=leo2 ..
Your Radio Version may also be outdated, so that's why you can't load Android, which requires the newest versions of Radio to use... try the newest version 2.15.50.14.. which is this one: http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F

Make sure you have radio 2.08.50.xx or higher.... what kind of HD2 do you have? Are you using a custom rom or stock rom.

did you install hspl3?
just like me i tried to install( when i was new)face this problem.
also if you have original rom installed get rid-of that find alternate best rom then try to install android .but b4 you do any things read carefully.

what size is your sd card? check if it doesn't get full at the boot. i had the same issue and it turned out that bigger sd card help.

If he has not HSPL... then he has not the good radio.
If he has the good radio... he has the good spl
What happen to one of my friend (can't remember if it was on HD or HD2) was an incompatible SD card. Try with another SD (if your radio is ok).

Stick with the sd version for now. Nand is still buggy and twice as difficult to install. Try nand when you get a little more knowledgeable.
So you tried 2 cards and formatted them both. Both cards are over 2GB?
As a couple members above mentioned you need a radio of 2.08.50 or above on your phone for android. EX: 2.10.50, 2.12.50, 2.14.50, or 2.15.50. To get the radio you either need to install rom 3.14 on your phone only if available for your regioned phone or install HSPL then 1 of those radios.

Thanks very much. I'll try and give it a go.

The ROM I'm using is a stock O2 UK ROM version 1.72.206.3, Radio version 2.07.51.22. I'd like to try using a cooked ROM, but I am going to have to read carefully how to flash as I've only done this once with the stock ROM. I will also try using a new sd card when i get a chance to go out and buy one. !! Thanks to everyone who has replied.

You have problem with the radio version. You have a .51 radio (ie 2.07.51.22) instead of the .50 radio (2.08.50.xx or higher .50). You will need to install HSPL 2.08.hspl and then flash a compatible radio. There's probably nothing wrong with your sd card, it's your radio version.

Bullsh1t!
NAND builds are no more or less buggy the SD builds and they are not "twice" as difficult to install at all.
