[Q] Please Help to install Android on TMOUS HD2 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

First of all, I know there are "many" Android Install Help! thread and I have gone thorough so many of them if those information would help my problem but unfortunately they did not help...
I'd gone thorough this post very carefully at least 10 times
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
and I've been suffering to install almost all Android ROM on my T-Mobile US HD2 over 4 weeks so I finally decided to post my issue for help!
My current environment:
- T-Mobile USA (TMOUS) HD2
- HSPL3
- Radio: 2.12.50.2_2
- WM ROM: Dutty's N4S v3 & Co0Kie 1.8.1
Note: WM works really well and very stable
PC environment
- Windows XP SP3 English
- Windows XP SP3 Japanese
* Both Windows are different box and used for flashing WM ROM and Radio. They both do the job without any error. BTW, Current HD2 was flashed with English XP for ROM and Radio.
- MacBook Pro: Snow Leopard: Mostly used for data transfer (movie, music, etc). I use "GS Finder" to globally search and trash "._*" files occasionally to clean the garbage made by OSX.
My current ROM flashing process are as follows:
1) Boot Loader:
Already have installed HSPL3 and have installed many Custom WM ROMs.
2) Format SD Card:
Using "Panasoic SD Format app"
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter20.html
Tried all combination of Format as
[Quick] [Erase ON] [Erase OFF] and Resize [ON] [OFF]
Also, I format my microSD from HD2 as well. Cluster size is shown as "32K" when format with WM SD card format app.
Any suggestion of recommended combination of formatting microSD?
I have two microSD cards:
a. Kingston 16GB class 4
b. 3C Pro 16GB class 6
Both benchmarked and confirmed that they're not "fake" class 4 nor class 6.
3) Run "Task29":
To clean the garbage off from HD2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
4) Flash WM ROM:
Currently, I'm using Dutty's N4S v3 as WM ROM. I also have tried many Android ROM + Recommended WM ROM + Radio, such as "ShubCraft STOCK 1.5+ChuchyDroid+Radio 2.10.50.26", or "mccm 1.5 + OzDroid 1.11 + Radio 2.14.50.04", "HD2Froyo V2.1 + Energy Leo COM2 Barebones WM Build For Android + Radio 2.14.50.04"
and many more recommended combos. Unfortunately, none of the combo really helped.
5) Hard Reset:
As many threads suggested, I also made sure to hard reset after WM ROM Flash.
6) Settings from WM:
Make sure to turn "Off" for "Automatically adjust backlight" from WM. Also, set volume as "one volume" (not separate ringer and master). Check off all "Screen Dim, Sleep" check boxes.
7) Start Android:
Copy "Android" folder to the "Root" of microSD card. Run "CLRCAD.exe" then "haret.exe" to boot Android ROM.
Since the log flows goes soooo fast that makes difficult to read the messages but at least there are consistency in any Android ROM that complains "No such a file or folder. Cannot create xxx" type of error during install.
When/How trouble started:
For my 1st week of using HD2 with Dutty's Creme de la Creme v3 and v5, ShubCraft and few other ROM were working OK (I believe I was also trying mattc 1.7 Froyo w/Sense).
One day, I tried "HyperDroid v1.1" then Android did not load anymore. Since then, some Android ROM just "Vanishes" when tried to load and freeze (like mattc Froyo w/sense 1.8). Many of ROMs just freezes at "HTC" logo (I wait at least 60 min to give enough time to let ROM start, but they're simply freezes… I bet 60 min is enough to boot, isn't it?).
Only Android ROM which "berely" work is "mattc Froyo w/sense 1.7" but still freezes at least 10 times a day. Mostly, Sleep of Death but many occasion activate/deactivate WiFi triggers freeze, too.
… I have been trying resolve my issue over 4 weeks now, and spending too much time and effort on this and I'm eager to resolve it!! I believe I tried almost every tips suggested on forum but I'm also certain that I must have missed something. Please suggest anything if you think I'd missed something I mention above.
PLEASE HELP!!
(or should I wait some super-chef will release NAND flash version Android?)

maybe its the SD card; i tried one i had before to keep from possibly frying my 16gb and couldn't get anything to really work though it was only 2gb.
On my pc I backed up the orignal tmo usa 16gb class 2 card via a usb reader, formated it; copied android over i'm using "[BUILD][17.10.2010][FroyoStone Sense - V3.2][Kernel: linux_on_wince_htc 2.6.32.15]" I then all my other stuff; put the sd card back in my phone, installed Android Launcher 4.0 on winmo and i've been good since!
This is on a tmo usa hd2 w/ the latest radio and an Energy windows rom (obviously hardspl'd)
the install was quite easy for me... thats why I think its maybe your SD card. AFter digging around a bit it seems the sd card is the main factor in a happy hd2 android experience so far my original 16gb is kicking ass

I'm inclined to blame the SD card as well. The other issue it sounds like is your phone is messed up. Sorry I know I'm not much help. Good luck with everything.
Edit: try one of the later radios. I switched to 2.14.50 and haven't had hardly any problems since.

Thanks AMCJUNGLE! I'll go through your suggested link. "HTC Sync" and "Boot Android when boot Win ROM for first time" are new info to me (Step 9 and 10). I'll also try to run with suggested WM ROM and Android ROM as well and see if it does the trick!

Thanks computerjlt!
Yeah, I also accuse SD card is the core of this cause but I also formatted SD soooooo many times. Using "Windows Explorer", "Panasonic SD Format app", "Win XP Manage Computer > Disk Management", etc. Also, Disk Management will allow me to select the "cluster size" so I set it to 32K and 64K as well, but no luck.
I'll try your suggested WM/Android ROM Combo if AMCJUNGLE's link would not do the trick.

Thanks dung8604! I'm really hoping my phone is not messed up (T-T)
Yep, I tried 2.14.50 and 2.15.50 (the latest Radio) as well with Dutty's WM ROM but it did not fix the problem.
My plan is to stick with recommended WM ROM + Radio + Android ROM first, then if it would fix my situation, I'll upgrade my Radio with the latest for better signal and less battery drain. I'm really hoping to do this sometime soooooooon!!

Bad Disk Sector = Broken microSD?
OK, I tried this method with very detailed instruction suggested by AMCJUNGLE
http://leoandroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=168
Still no luck
As many other mentioned, it could be microSD causing this problem.
From my Mac, I used DiskUtility and FastAid returns no error. However, I tried "fsck" from terminal, I got this:
THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31,
ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device
fsck: /Volumes/SDCARD: can't read disk label
Does this mean my microSD is damaged? If so, is there way to fix it?

Hmm. Chkdsk from XP still returns "No Error"... Mystery continues

If your card is damaged you cannot fix it. You need to replace it.

AMCJUNGLE,
It sounds like have a bad news. What I did was checking microSD using
From XP: Chkdsk e:\ >>>> OK. No problem found.
From XP: Run Disk Analyze tool called "FromHDDtoSSD" to run "full analyze".
>>> OK. No bad sector is found and reported 100% clean disk.
From OSX 10.6: Disk Utility to Check/Repair Disk and got this and not problem.
Verify and Repair volume “NO NAME”
** /dev/disk2s1
** Phase 1 - Preparing FAT
** Phase 2 - Checking Directories
** Phase 3 - Checking for Orphan Clusters
55 files, 15645504 KiB free (488922 clusters)
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
However, if I test fsck from OSX Terminal against mounted microSD by
fsck /dev/rdisk2s1
result returns as
BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
By some research, "BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG" is caused by area of Administrative File Management info is damaged or broken. In short, my microSD is screwed up...

Fixed... somehow
OK, still using same WM ROM (Dutty NS4 v3), same Radio (2.10.50.2_2), but suddenly, "HD2Froyo V3" WORKED!!
No Sleep of Death, no freeze, OS behaves very fast and stable. In addition, Skype 3G Mod works 100% (it didn't with mattc 1.7).
I still have no clue what went well because so many other new roms (such as ShubCraft 2.0, mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3, etc).
Anyway, I'm super happy now and I will definitely keep the current environment until Android allow NAND install. Yey!

[Q] Help / Info needed please -> Flame away

OK, here is my problem.
UK HD2 -> Generic running 1.66 stock, with HSPL 2.08, and Radio 2.12.50.02.
I have been running many of the different Android builds on my phone since the first one came out with no problems, until now...
My phone will not run any of the new ones at all. They give the instruction to leave on first boot to create the data store, takes about 5-10min. I have left my phone for hours with a faded black screen, with a few lines on it, but it never gets any further than that.
Have tried:
Mattc Leo + Froyo 1.5*, 1.6*, 1.7 and 1.8
Mattc Evo 1.0.1
Mattc NexusLeo 1.1
Mdeejay Froyo Sense 2.2
Mdeejay eVo 1.0
FroyoStone Sense 1* and 2
Darksotne HD2Froyo 2.1*
Darkstone DesireROM 2*, 3*, 4* and 5*
*= ones that have worked
It seems to me that something has changed with all the newer ROMS that are stopping them from working for me. I have format my SD every time i try a new ROM and have even hard reset my WinMo to see if that the problem -> Nothing works!
As Marvin would say: "I just want you to know, i am feeling very depressed today"
Help please

show us your step by step procedure in running android, so people when they see it may know at which point you may be making an error.
also, after reading this
post, I came to the conclusion that indeed many left
over junks in winmo are messing up the process of Android running, so I took it to mean that we have to do a Task 29 every time we try a build.
make sure the android build is in a folder marked android the older roms went on the root of the sd! another thing is when haret boots see if the writing says failer to mount sd and get back to me or pm me well figure it out!!
Definitely task29 that sucker. Also consider a "meant for android" WM rom like chuckydroid. Radio 2.14 is now available if you want to try something else.

Yeah, I was going to suggest task 29 and then reinstall a different WM Rom.
I am using the 2.14 radio with great results.....
Good Luck.
try new sd card
I can understand your frustration, If the task 29 alone does not help, I would get a new sd card, I have read its best to long format card, task 29 phone, install your windows rom of choice( I like chuckys android), then install android. good luck
Steps taken so far
Ok, first off, Thank you all for your responses!!!!
Was expecting to get flamed, as i had searched the forums and could not find anything myself but expected there to be something somewhere, that somebody knew about.
With the older ROMS that are stored on the root of SD, i formatted the SD and copied the data over using SD adaptor in my MacBook Pro's SD slot -> Worked like a charm!!
With the newer ones, that have worked anyway the procedure was the same, format SD and copy Android folder over from Mac -> again worked like a champ!
But now with these new ones i have tried the old methods of format and copy using SD adaptor, tried formatting and coping the Android folder on to the phone using the USB connection on the phone, tried renaming the "Android" folder "android".
I have not updated or changed the WinMo ROM, but i have reloaded it, when i found out about this problem. I task 29 and then reflashed with the stock 1.66 and still no dice.
Step by step for last ones i have tried:
1. Power off phone and remove battery (not needed i know but hay)
2. Remove SD card and put in SD adaptor
3. Insert into Mac and format card Fat (Mac Fat = Win Fat32)
4. Unarchive Android ROM and copy to SD - (/StorageCard/Android)
5. After copy complete wait for 5min then eject SD (i like to make sure there is nothing in the buffer)
6. Put into phone, put battery in and power up (normally with the battery cover off lol)
7. Wait for the unfortunate Windows logo and phone to boot up ("Launching HTC Sense" seems to take forever)
8. As soon as phone started either run the Android icon from Sense or open File Explorer and run both programs
9. HeRET starts, screen goes black see txt (guess bootloader loading the kernel) for 1 second then screen fades to black with faint lines running down it (backlight on very dull)
10. Wait...wait...wait (Mattc Leo Froyo 1.8 waited 20min, then fell asleep and when i awoke 5hours later it was still the same)
I dont get it, so to recap i have formatted my SD every-time i have tried, i have task29 my phone about a week ago, tried many of the ROMS on here and nothing, i have tried one of the old ones and that works though!!!!
Arrrgg, Please somebody point out what stupid thing i am doing wrong.
"Even the doors don't like me!"
Could this be it?
I have spent more time reading forums and such like, could it be due to the fault described here in this post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8264796
If you are using a standard stock 1.66 rom your radio may not be compatable. I had the same issue to start off with. Would boot half way then die. I upgraded my radio now using 2.14 and can boot no problem at all.

I have experimented with Stock UK WWE 1.66 about two weeks ago, and no matter
what Radio and HSPL I put on it, once I clicked on Haret, it goes exactly like you describe it
White faint lines all over the screen which seems like very fine drops of rain.
you can always try Winmo ROMs specifically made to be Android friendly.
also it would be valuable if you read this Thread read

Revolution of WP7 has been started today :)

Hi,
We have been waiting for it so long
Now we start to hack win7
Enjoy!

my revolution started yesterday. i have 30 hours with wp7
Mine started yesterday too, but i think it is going to end today.
Only thing i like is the 720p recording.
Give it a chance - augmented reality coming out soon - toolkit etc out.
But take note when flashing droid-wp6-wp7: to CLEAN or fkhd2 forever:
phoenixtraveller said:
0. Start all over again - forget everything - to avoid over-partition resizing etc and fragging of your nand which is causing people's hd2 phones to crash and DIE.
1. Put your stock rom ruu_signed.nbh on sd card as LEOIMG.nbh (<4gb card)
2. Reflash that by holding vol down - hspl.
3. Reboot and dont got into it - goto new (old) spl.
4). Connect and do HSPL3_PKG.exe, We hacked it. Best to NOW change your drivers to MTTY drivers (first point you can as hspl rapitool doesnt recognize them so change to unsigned drivers now) and connect then do:
task 28 55aa
task 29
task 8 (which is reboot)
YOU NEED TO CLEAN IT OUT WHEN FLASHING OVER AND OVER AND OVER or you end up with fk hd2 with too many bad blocks in nand and screwed partitions.
5.) Now re-do your radio with latest by replacing LEOIMG.nbh with ruu_signed.nbh from radio rar/zip. = ie 2.15 radio and vol-down reboot hspl again.
6) Now replace LEOIMG.nbh with MAGLDR 112 .nbh as LEOIMG.nbh on sd and
YOU ARE DONE.
7) Run dwi.exe and install Windows 7 then do ChevronWP7 hacks/etc and get LIVE. note: SOMETIMES helps to pull battery out not press vol down twice at 1234-5-6 (go go go) point - ie: first HARDRESET per Cotulla and DFT instructions. and CLEAN 8gb class 10 SD-card SANDISK is best and OEM (but faster).
Anyone take note and/or mtty'd or used Cotulla's SIMULACRUM SPL (LEO 1000 SPL here)? ie: pressing just vol down gets you to wp7 spl before it boots (after magldr of course - 1234 vol down).
I have reverse engineered daf.exe/dwi.exe and binaries+ using 24nand+ and dumping/mttying have been able to crack a few commands for this strange but necessary second-second-program-loader.
Anyway - TO CLEAN YOUR PHONE wp7-method (this is the NEXT STAGE CLEAN after the above oem/stock/winmo and spl cleaning by sd... save the life of your hd2 for another year...
:
(nb: you can also do daf/android way with NO FILES .IMG at all - just use flash.cfg with 0 asize allsize and no boot, system, ro, nothing: just those 3. ie: partition name is 0. dont even have to name a file system. Although is interesting that daf.exe has strings in it for both: SquashFS, and WPH. !!! this is daf.exe not dwi.exe ...
.........final.....stage.....here....
Continuing on: wp7 CLEAN: WORKS:
Before doing dwi.exe PROPERLY: make a fake data.zip with EMPTY (ie: notepad make 0kb .txt files then rename part00.bin, part01.bin, ALL THE WAY TO part07.bin and save these into data.zip (rename real data.zip data.bak or whatever).
Then flash with dwi.exe so this CLEANS OUT PARTITIONS COMPLETELY with ZEROES.
now:
7) note: SOMETIMES helps to pull battery out not press vol down twice at 1234-5-6 (go go go) point - ie: first HARDRESET per Cotulla and DFT instructions. and CLEAN 8gb class 10 SD-card SANDISK is best and OEM (but faster). Run dwi.exe and install Windows 7 then do ChevronWP7 hacks/etc and get active microsoft=

I Really like WP7 for some reason... I Bought the HD2 for Android and just fell in love with WP7, it's so smooth, just a really great system, too bad it does miss some key things like c&p, but nothing really bugs me, the only serious issue is the RTL one, which can't be solved.

What are you talking about? WP7 supports RTL out of the box...
The only thing that is missing is a Office Suite counterpart that supports RTL, I'm sure somebody here can get it working.
Hey guys,
have anybody the same problem that the htc EQ in the Market change nothing???
The sound of Zune without EQ is very terrible

WiFi error - "Unable to scan for networks" - multiple NAND roms

Hey all,
I'm usually pretty good at figuring these types of things out, but unfortunately I haven't been able to figure this one out yet.
Wifi works fine in WinMo 6.5 and WinPhone 7. I haven't tried SD version of Android, but I'd rather not go that route as I want to be able to use a fully functioning NAND version of Android.
I have done Task29/wipe data/cache/dalvik cache on many occasions, repartitioned, reinstalled WinMo 6.5 and then started over with MAGLDR (latest version), replaced wifi module libraries, but nothing has proven to work. Everything else is perfect, though.
Somebody has to have experienced this before? I couldn't find much in terms of a solution by searching.
Thanks!
What HD2 Radio version are you using?
What Android ROM are you using?
Have you made sure that it is a MAGLDR version you are trying to install, not the cLK version?
Why would you need to replace the WiFi module librarys as your ROM should work without error after installation?
A bit more info and we should be able to sort this one out!

Hey. Thanks for joining!
- Radio 2.15.50.14 and one of the older ones which was installed when I picked up this phone
- Roms:
NDT MIUI Froyo V6.2 currently.
Tried [CWR] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_GINGER 2.3.4-Sense.s V29 (12.Jun), CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD(2) NAND ROM v1.1.17 and a few others i can't remember. All MAG versions.
I tried replacing the libs, because i've read that as part of a fix for related wifi problems from earlier this year.

Hey. Thanks for joining!
- Radio 2.15.50.14 and one of the older ones which was installed when I picked up this phone
- Roms:
NDT MIUI Froyo V6.2 currently.
Tried [CWR] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_GINGER 2.3.4-Sense.s V29 (12.Jun), CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD(2) NAND ROM v1.1.17 and a few others i can't remember. All MAG versions.
I tried replacing the libs, because i've read that as part of a fix for related wifi problems from earlier this year.
Thanks!

You have the most common Radio 2.15.50.14 so that isn't the problem.
The fix is mainly for cLK versions so it could use the PPP interface but if you are using MAGLDR then that isn't needed - this alone could be your problem, I reccomend not installing this patch any more?!
I play with roms a lot and normally my errors are due to using a kernel which the rom wasn't developed for - or more recently, frequent drops to the internet.
When my drops happened, I had done nothing different but it seems that a change in CM7 source now addressed my routers security settings differently - I have no idea when it was added and I was lucky enough to find a firmware update for my router which solved the problem.
Out of interest, when you click on wifi, does it say error or does it try to connect and randomly drop? Error would indicate a kernel/radio/hardware problem and dropping or not connecting would possibly indicate router problem.
Possibly, one of the best places to start is the security settings of your router, disable all security and see if it will connect... if it does then apply security - I use WPA2 PSK TKIP and it now works for me!
NDT MIUI Froyo V6.2 & CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD are quite old (In terms of development), BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_GINGER 2.3.4-Sense.s V29 is new and updated frequently so i'm unsure why all would have the same problem?!?!.
You could also try my rom located in my signature "HardDroid2" as I have extensively tested this and have no problems (Not trying to punt my rom at all!).
If changing your router settings or no other roms work then it is beyond me as there are only a few combinations af possible hardware/software faults!
Hope this helps
Already installed Is the phone supposed to boot in Airplane mode enabled for the first boot?
Ok, unfortunately the same issue with WiFi. What happens when i turn wifi on is it takes about 15 seconds for the check to appear in the box, then it stays on for about 15 more seconds with no networks showing, then it turns off automatically. The same thing with every rom I've tried, unless I start messing with libs or conf files at which point I get "error" or it doesn't turn on at all.
Thanks!

Ummmm... NOPE!
I think your problem is with your radio rom. I would reccomend starting from scratch!
This is what I do and it works fine for me:
Prep SD Card: Format FAT32 and also create a 1GB Ext3 Partition (For apps2SD if needed)
Copy the rom update.zip to FAT32 partition of SD Card & Insert into phone.
Run HSPL3_PKG.exe and install HSPL 2.08
Flash Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
Run Task 29 - wipe phone
Install MAGLDR 1.1.3
start device (Hold down power button until menu list appears) choose USB Flasher
Install Recovery 150MB System/5MB Cache (ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.0)
Start MAGLDR (Hold down power button until menu list appears) Select "AD Recovery"
Boot ClockworkMod and install update.zip from SD Card.
I'm not trying to teach you how to suck eggs... but maybe there is a little step you may of missed?!?!?

Much appreciated, I'll give this a try.

I would reccomend re-downloading the files, especially the radio rom as I have a feeling it may be corrupted - don't know why it would work on WP7 though??
Use the HSPL3_PKG.exe to install HSLP 2.08 as it is regarded as the best.
I use Loader 2.10 KSubedi (MAGLDR 1.1.3 Debranded) just for asthetic reasons.
We will get there!!! lol
Same deal, unfortunately. I've noticed that the mac address is "unavailable" at all times, including the 10 secs the wifi is actually on (according to the switch)

Did you re-download the radio from here?: http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
I don't understand why your wifi works under wm6.5 (which installs during flashing rom) & WP7 (which runs the same way as android nand) but not under android... I would of classed it as a corrupted file and im completely at a loss!!!!
It can't be a hardware fault and there isn't any differences in earlier/later versions of the HD2's wifi module!!!
OK, I admit it.... I'm stumped!

Yep, that file. Maybe I need to install the latest Tmobile 6.5 rom and start from that?

If you install the latest rom and then task 29, you still have the radio version which installed with the rom as task 29 doesn't touch that section!
I remember a couple of years ago when I changed the wifi module on a PSP that it no longer held a mac address when using original Sony firmware... has your device been in for repair?
Just a thought really, i'm grabbing at straws since it really doesn't make sense to me!

I'm not sure about its history as I bought it used. Tomorrow is another day with more opportunities to resolve this issue.
Nothing changed by me installing a stock T-mobile WinMo 6.5 then going through the process of converting to NAND android. I found out that I'm not able to save a manual Wi-Fi network entry. Maybe this is a clue for the problem?
Thanks!

Well looking into the kernel, it seems that it will create a custom MAC address for each device to get past the 00:11:22:33:44:55 issue (I don't know what variables it would use to create this but possibly imei???)
There are no really adjustable settings in wpa_supplicant.conf which would help (As far as I can see)
Since you aren't showing a MAC address, it would indicate a problem with your hardware (as no other device has this problem) But why Windows roms would still work is beyond me and the only change in hardware revisions over the life of the HD2 has been to the lcd screen and not the radio hardware.
I have searched and tried to find more information on this but i'm unable to find a conclusive answer or solution
Here is a thought: Download the files which I use from here: http://www.andbuddy.com/files/FOBBu1308083933.html
This contains all the files which I use and a small guide - Please follow ALL the steps as this has given me a 100% working device!
If it still doesn't work after this then I will have to admit that i'm beaten

I'm suspecting that the actual wifi related hardware is damaged somewhere, maybe the coaxial cable, at least in my phone.
Do you try solution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827521
i try but i can't do step 6 :
"6. Go to menu Device -> File Explorer. New window will come up."
it not show file
- I Think problem relate with hardware because with the same Room , same Radio , same Wif network other device ok but of me false
- If you have new information or new SOLUTION please send email for me [email protected]

Unstable HD2

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my HD2, and Yes, I've read other "unstable HD2" topics.
However my problem is quite different.
My HD2 is unstable on any OS or ROM.
I've used some Polish roms, then Cruzers.
I found Cruzer 5 most stable, however I still had to reflash radio from time to time, and do hard reset quarterly to maintain stability (no OS modification, hacks or any other "funny" business meantime), stock OS's seemed stable at first, but then proved otherwise.
Now with m$ MyPhone closure I've decided to jump onto android as I've bought a PNA for Navigation.
I'm using Magldr + HyperDroid CM7 HeadyHoneyBadger and it seemed stable for quite some time.
Now just out of nowhere it begins to crash all the time, with no activity from me at all.
Installed additional programs, tested each one on aspect of stability, and none proved faulty:
- Eset Mobile Antivirus
- XConstruct
- 3g watchdog
- Goweather
- AndFTP
- Transdroid
- ConnectBot
- FLashplayer
- TitaniumBackup
- Make Your own clock widget
- TuneIn Radio
- Skype
- Dialer One
- Google SkyMap
- Google Maps with modded Navi
- Bluetooth File Transfer
- ASTRO File Manager
- RockPlayer Lite
- Robo Defense FREE
- Allegro
- MoboPlayer
- Minimal Reader
- CalWidget
- Battery Calibration
- Barcode Scanner
- Adobe® Reader®
- Shazam
Is there any hope for me?
Could You advise me anything?
Thank You for any responses,
GreQ
You need to do a clean install.
This means completley wiping both the NAND and SDCard.
Format SDCard with Panasonic SDFormatter....
Format: FULL+Overwrite
Size Adjustment: ON
Clean Install..
Get the HD2 Tools in the sticky thread in Android NAND section
Put phone into bootloader - Use Task29
Put phone into bootloader - Install MAGLDR
Then you will need to choose the appropriate CWM partition for the rom, check the thread for details or use the DFT flasher if it comes with one.
If this doesn't solve it you will likely need to get a new/different card.
TheATHEiST, Thank You for answering.
I've done those steps before doing an clean install of HyperDroid.
When I was testing those programs - if they're at fault or not I was doing clean install every time - it took a larger part of my life
My SD card is really slow, however I don't use EXT on SD, I have no EXT at all, may that be the cause?
If SD is faulty, would my HD2 benefit from better/faster card?
what exactly is unstable? can you give more details?
Thanks for answering jsmccabe78.
Most things in android FC after some time, or at the start, or even don't start at all.
On windows apps hang, close, sense doesn't want to boot up.
Yesterday when I thought I had a while until some total reflash I've tried to do backup via ClockWorkMod, and then even Magldr and CWM started hanging, now phone won't boot.
Doing total reflash, let's see if that helps... again..
It didn't help this time...
GAPPS, Framework crash all the time.
Radio 15.50 , HSPL 2.08, fresh MAGLDR.
Reflashed everything 2 times now, every time different app starts to malfunction...
.12. Radio seems to improve stability.
strange. often when things are bad on different os on one machine, hardware seems to be the culprit. but seems like you have a ghost in the machine!
i want to re-iterate what theatheist said.
clean install. i mean clean.
task 29 (tho not sure how useful)
flash back to wm
reformat sdcard - so everything is deleted and it is like it is squeaky new.
then try a rom.
if still weird, try a new sdcard.
sorry, if after completely cleaning / new sdcard/ etc. still with problems, is likely hardware. but i am by no means the end all of knowledge on this!
Thanks again for reply.
This time, when I wrote about .12. radio I've done this:
- task 29
- flash original 3.14 rom
- task 29
- magldr
- cwm
- cwm -> install HyperDroid
And for now it's about 48hr without any major hang, however CalWidget still hangs on occasion.
Nothing left for me but to wait for quad-core device with qwerty.
1- is this the first time you did task 29?
2- did your re-formate your sd card?
curious about #1.
if problems arise, do #2. (what's to lose?)
good luck until the dream phone comes out. ha! cheers, mate. good luck.
1. I've been doing Task29 all the time , I do it every time I need to touch ROM
2. I did
well fingers crossed. i don't know anything more than what you have done. really.
best of luck!
After you have done a clean install as others have posted, and you still have the problem. You might try a new SIM card. I have seen some bad ones causing lockups.
hi,
i´ve many problems with my device.... i tested many many roms of android and wp7 too...
problems are freezes and reboots in every rom... in different roms i have no internet connection or if a call arrives the phone freezes and a robot sound appears...??? sometimes i started the browser and the device reboot...
the next is... the original winmob6.5 stockrom has the same problems... but not too much like android or wp7....
did anyone have an idea...
P.S. i´ve tested 3 different sd cards
thanks
Maybe try doing an RMA?
Device might be the problem.

[Q] HD2 Upgrade

Hi
Pleas i need help to upgrade my Htc HD2 (WM 6.5) to Android.can i ?
1. Go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847631&highlight=sd+evo
2. Download the ROM (about 200-300MB)
3. Unzip all the files onto your SD Card, in a folder called Android
4. In Windows Mobile, click on the two programs in this order: CLRCAD.exe (it will apear to do nothing) and then HARET.exe, and it will boot into Android
5. Enjoy!
6. Keep reading around XDA for pro tips and other knowledge. e.g. there's Windows Mobile programs which will automatically boot you to Android when you turn your phone on, there's lots of different ROMs to try, you can also "flash" Android over the phone to avoid Windows Mobile altogether etc (This is called "NAND", compared to the "SD ROMS")... But all that will come with time!
*SD ROMS are really the best for beginners, as it requires you to do nothing more than drag-n-drop files to your SD card. No installation, no configs, no fuss! My mum could do it! Personally I still stick to SD despite being familiar with NAND flashes.
* I've linked you to a really old ROM, almost a year old now. The reason I pick this ROM is that it's 100% stable, fast, flawless, pretty, etc - I still use it a year on, despite trying new ROMs every two weeks or so.
First you have to flash a radio rom higher than 2.08 (2.14 or 2.15 recommended).
