[Q] HD2 freezes indefinately during first boot of Android....HELP!!!!

hi there.....First of all let me tell you that I have read all the forums on this site and on htcpedia.com to solve my problem but no success. So i had no other choice other than to ask in the forum.
Problem is when I boot my hd2 for the first time after copying "Android" folder in to my sd card(32 gb), It would display 5-6 lines in the top left corner ending with the line "Jumping to the Kernel (custom)...." and freezes there even after i wake up from 8 hours long sleep. Then I have to restart it by removing the battery.
There is a one strange thing. When I copy 'Android' folder in the root of sd card (sd card\Android\..) no data image file would be created in it after the end of the situation described in second paragraph. But when I copy all file from 'Android' folder to the root of the sd card (Sd card\all files) , the camera flash lite will turn on for a moment and the screen will display weird black and white lines and would freeze there indefinately untill I restart it after good couple of hours and there would be data file of around 1 gb. Nothing would change even after I reboot again.
Radio- 2.10.50.26
rom- Elegancia gtx v 5.0 final wwe
android- mattcleo froyo 1.8
Please help...AS Android was my motivation behind buying this nice hardware.

Ok, first why don't you just use the search function or just jumpin two pages further? There are about one million people having the same problem as you.
But if I were you, I would try to update my radio at first (at least to 2.12) because 2.10 caused much problems.
And second thing is, which kernel do you use? And how does your startup.txt looks like?

Also make sure your version of WM is Android friendly.
Radio version is important also, most Android versions need a radio that ends with .50, NOT .51...

I would first make sure your current ROM will work with Android. Get a new one if needed. Next do a fresh reformat to fat 32 on your SD card. Last try a new radio: 2.10.50 does work for me, but you may try a 2.12.50 one.
Try to boot up between each of these steps. It may take one or all of them to get you up and running. Good luck.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

try a smaller sdcard.
I heard something about 32gb not working with android.

Solved the freezing puzzle.....fell in love with HD2 powered by android
hey thanks guys for support.....
Finally I managed to install Android on my hd2......It was my fake chinese made 32gb micro sd card making the trouble. I read in some forum about it.
Then I bought SANDISK 8 gb class 6 micro sd card and bingo......it worked.
Thank you guys.......And those who is having the same problem give it a try....

[Q] Problem running Android on my htc hd2

Sorry guys but I need some serious help getting android to run on my htc hd2....
I have been trying to get android to run for the last 5 weeks+ but I have not even got close....
HSPL 2.08 installed.....
Tried mostly all android builds....
Tried every radio known to man in combinations with custom ROMs....."AND NOTHING"
Currently running....
HTC HD2 UK (LEO T858) 576 MB...

SD CARD: SANDISK SDHC 4G CLASS 2...
Formatted the sd card with....SDFormatter V2.0 many times....
I follow all instructions from the professionals I.E the chefs....and also have been very patient with regards to letting android create its .img files sometimes leaving for hours at a time......
I have read copious amounts of threads relating to this issue, so I have not been lazy...... but all avenues circle back to the same conclusion "no android no work"....
The only thing that I possibly hindering me is my sd card, but some say that android runs smooth from these type of cards...so instead of going out and spending a fortune on a top of the range one I thought that I would post this thread first....
Is it something simple that I am missing........?
Please any help would be most appreciative......

same.. :/
Hi, i seem to be having a similar problem
I run haret and it seems to run through some scrolling text, then leave a blank black screen for ages at a time.
Have i too done something wrong?
Any help wud be greatly appreciated

Same...
Me too, the exact same thing. Have tried MDJ froyo rev 1.5, with S1 kernel and with Hastarin R8. Both types I get a black screen with HTC in green - but stays like that for upwards of 10mins.

Manila version: 2.5.20121412.1
Rom: kwbr topix 1.6.3
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Memory card: Sandisk 16Gb SDHC Ultra
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the other thing you can do is get the android sdk, install adb, and watch the logcat, it shuld be obvious if it starts to loop, or copy the logcat and post it so someone can help you debug.
my guess, your card's corupted... try formating it to an ext4 file system, then back to fat32. or scan it on a linux box and see if it shows up corupted...

Thanks t1h5ta3....
I will give it a go....

i used to face the same issue. place the android folder in the root of your sdcard
and check your startup.txt for your android path
e.g set cmdline "rel_path=Android"
you've probably did it before....

So why not pay a little money and get a low end SD card for testing? That would tell straight away if there's a problem with the card.
I use a 16GB Sandisk class 2 with no problems and also have a 16GB Kingston class 4 that runs fine.
Never had any problems, except SOD (and there's a fix for that), with these 2 cards.
Both formatted Fat 32 with 32 kilobyte allocation size on a Win 7 machine.

Makes Sense.........

"Enough" is "Enough"
From my previous post I have purchased another SDHC card (TOSHIBA 8GB CLASS 4) for testing android and surprise surprise I am still getting exactly the same problem, not a thing in regards running android. Why is such a simple thing turning out to be so problematic, my head has finally dropped and I am losing the will to live.....?
Common Issues.....
whilst linux is booting android it will always stop at "SMD: ch 1 1 2 -> 2".......... ???????????? i have searched for this with little or no success.
And one thing that I find very confusing is the Startup.txt files... what should it actually say because many people have different opinions.....BOOT or BOOTLINUX ????
Can anyone please please please post a complete setup in regards of rom, radio,etc etc of there HTC HD2 (LEO) European version """(NOT A 1024)"""" running android, so I can compare and find out what the BL**DY hell is going on...

The only other thing I could think of is that maybe it's the Windows rom that you're using. Haret Android actually makes use of bits and pieces of what winmo leaves behind in memory, and since you are running a rom with cht built in, it may be using the ram memory differently, storing different things in ram addresses that Android doesnt expect. I would back up your NRG CHT build (shouldnt be too bad using XDA_UC), and flash a stock rom or NRG's bare bones Android rom. If it doesn't work, at least it's one more thing you could cross off the list of likely suspects

HERE

The plot thickens
Thanks for the suggestion huggs....
I flashed Energy.Leo.COM2.Barebones WM Build.For.Android as you suggested and have been getting some strange results??????
Firstly because that particular build auto boots into android once you switch on your device with an sd card inserted it does not detect either my Toshiba micro 8GB or my Sandisk 4GB SD"HC" cards and says "NO STORAGE CARD HAS BEEN DETECTED"... although saying that I can open file explorer on my device and read both storage cards.....but the auto boot does detect my Sandisk micro 2GB "SD" card and auto boots android but Linux stops at line "usb: product_id 0xff9" and hangs......
Either my hd2 does not like micro "SDHC" cards or it is knackered......
I AM CONFUSED.COM

Thanks Jigners i have already tried your methord but i think something a bit more drastic is required for my device....

print that step by step guide, you can never fail on that.

jingers i preformed task 29 and i can not get my phone into the bootloader ?

Hi there,
One question to all of you having problems with Android. Do you happen by any chance to have extended battery?
I similar problems with Android. One day it worked and the next day it wouldn't and no matter what I did it just refused to work on any build I tried. I was so sure that it was because of the memory card that I even didn't think about the extended battery causing problems.
So if you try everything, including different wm roms, different android builds, changing sd cards and are totally at loss just try any rom with extended battery support or try changing the kernels that support one and then try again.
Provided you've got extended battery and are not too much experienced in Android issues I could bet that this is the cause of your problems.

hi rafian a good shout but no i am not using an extended battery.....
But is does not matter now because i think my phone is bricked after doing a task 29 because it will not enter the bootloader ??????????
Also because it is not entering the bootloader and all i get is the NRG flash screen from my preivious rom and that task 29 has not removed it am i right in thinking if i send my phone off to be repaired / replaced they will see that splash screen and know that i had HSPL installed and void my warranty ???????

I'm sorry to read it Frank. This is the worst case scenario ( .

WHY O WHY did i do a task 29......................

Got my HD2 to work
Hi all,
I also faced many problems in my attempts to make Android run on my HD 2. I got stuck on the startup screen (starting Linux kernel etc).
In the end irrespective of what the other form user stated, you need to install HSPL (article link provided below). Be warned, to install this I had to switch off everything (wifi, BT etc) but phone (and a reset was needed) and had to make sure on windows desktop that Windows Mobile Device Centre was able to communicate with phone BUT was not synching anything.
Once HSPL was installed I found out that my Radio ROM was too old. need 2.07... + (I had 2.06...) I then updated my Radio ROM thenTADA I am now running Android on my HD2.
Here is the link that resolved my issues.

[Q] Few questions about android, spl's and other stuff

Hi there, i'm newbi in this pocketpc stuff so please don't kill me, I've tried search engine but i didn't get the answer.
My Specs:
I have HTC HD 2 T8585
ROM: stock HTC 3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Operation system: 5.2.21913 (does it mean that i don't have WM 6.5?)
Manila 2.5.20181527.0
2GB SD CARD (that was packed with phone)
And I want to put android in SD edition('coz I want to play Alchemy game )
I've tried:
This one
and this one
But none of them worked (it stops @ htc logo on black background)
What do I have to do? Or what I'm doing wrong?

try fresh formatting your card or try another sd card

The initial Android boot does take quite a bit of time.
I have never tried those ones, but * THIS * works for me.

First build you linked to states that it will not automatically create a data.img, you have to put one into the android folder and the darkstone build states that you cannot use an existing data.img so I would suggest starting again from scratch (aborting first boot will leave you with a corrupt data.img) and try again.
As fred mentioned the first boot can take quite a while..........

Ok i've tried installing the darkstone one @ clear SD and it works!!!
Thank you all!

First and foremost I suggest a lot of reading, I would start in the WM 6.5 forum and then go to the Android forum as there are dozens of guides available to use. Are you looking at installing an SD build or a Nand build?

Actually I ahve idea what are the differences between SD build or a Nand build.
And I don't know the meaning of each one of them.
Thanks

SD Build is installed on your memory card,and NAND on phone memory.

Cool.
I need someone to tell me what is the easiest way to make what I want
So what you suggest and how?
Thanks!

First you must choose which android you want to install,there are different version,for example:Froyo,Gingerbread,Ice Cream Sandwich.I suggest that you check android forum and choose which version you want,and then watch some videos on youtube how to install that specific version,it would help.Im not expirianced in android.Thats all i can tell you,i hope you had some help.

Thanks
I think I read about Froyo.
But after downloading it, then what is next?
I saw a video that tells to put the File of the Froyo on the DS card and then run it from the device...
That's all? That's how you change OS?
Thanks

SD card android doesn't change OS, first the phone starts in win mob, then you start android. A bit like starting a program.
nand android removes win mob completely.
Phone into bootloader
Run hspl2 or hspl3 or Hspl4,
choose 2.08.hspl
Into bootloader
Flash radio 2.15.50
Into bootloader
Flash magldr 1.13
Into magldr - USB flasher
Flash cwm partition layout of size your rom needs
Into magldr - 8 ad recovery - starts cwm
In cwm advanced format SD card THIS WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD.it will also create and ext partition of whatever size you choose.(go for 1gb for now)
In cwm - mounts and storage - mount SD card
Copy the rom.zip to SD (could use card reader if you have one.)
In cwm - install zip from SD
Choose the zip
Done.
