[Q] android stop working

Okay this is my first ever thread so pls dont bash on where its posted. So the problem is, is that my android on hd2 would stop working after I reboot my phone. Idk why but it just hangs at the boot screen, which is white and has HTC on it. This has happened with every android rom I use and I can't even find answers when I google the problem. I'm using the htc energy rom and a 32gb sd card.

Strange i have exaclty the same! i updated to MccM HD 3Beta two days ago. Ill try another now and see what happpen

Questions belong in the Q&A Forum
No bashing just a friendly bit of advise for future reference.
Mark.

I've been going through different android roms and everytime I reboot into the wm energy rom I can't boot back into android. At this point I'm afraid to turn of my hd2, but I need to so I can recalibrate my battery stat.

I’m using HTC HD2 T-mobile v and also I have the same problem,
What kind of details will help u?
=P
Android was smoothly worked before the problem.
And I feel it was not stable with the SD card, for example i put some files on it by using the USB and after I check them from the phone not all are there.
And the problem began when the android said "save remove for SD card"
After second it shakes. I remove the battery to reboot it and it is just can't complete booting to android. It is stop at HTC white start screen.

For me the same,
I use a Android rom and when I launch Android, it doesn't leave the HTC screen. I kept it running all night long, but it didn't work. All my contact and text messages are in Android and now I can't reach them anymore, what should I do?

i make a temporary Solution =P
i replace all the "SDcard/Android" files except "data.img"
because "data.img" contain all data we build
try it and give me ur feed back ^_^

I have problem booting to andriod too, since yesterday morning, i was using android, the screen was freeze, so i restarted the phone and reboot to android. So as usual, i went to the android folder and trying to boot to android, then i got this error message "The file HARET cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannt be found. If the proble persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." I have no idea why this happened all in a sudden. so I've tried many times and restarted my phone to see if it would help, but it didn't. then I thought maybe the android wasn't updated, so I went back to the forum and found the updated version, but mine was discontiuned. I downloaded a new build and I erased everything on my SD card and gave it a try, but the same thing still happen. I still got that error message. would anyone know why? I'm desparated to go back to android.

newbie help [BUILD][19.12.10]-=MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6=-[FRG83D][kernel:MDJ S8.0]

hi all, just got my hands on a htc hd2 and iv loaded [BUILD][19.12.10]-=MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6=-[FRG83D][kernel:MDJ S8.0] onto it no problem, got it running great, only thing is when i switch the phone off and back on it loads windows mobile again, then i have to run the android files again and let it install itself again, in the mean time losing all my settings, iv read theres a way to autoboot android on startup but cant really find anything about it, is this possible, and if so could someone run me through how to do it, wouldnt mind if it was just to reboot the android firmware, but when im losing all my settings and apps its no good, any help on this much appreciated as im still a newbie really to this phone.

When you boot up android from SD card, the first boot usually takes 10-15 minutes (varies from build to build). During this first startup, a new file in your android folder is created called 'data.img'. This is the file which your android build uses to store all the settings/apps/customisation etc.
When you restart your phone, before you boot into android, look in your android folder for 'data.img'. If it is missing then the android startup will take 10-15 minutes again, but if it is present it should only take 2-3 minutes. If it takes 10-15 minutes every time then you probably want to re-download the build and try again.
Also, dual-booting options are available, but check to see if this works first.

thanks mate, i noticed when i reloaded it again after switching off that my settings and apps were still there, which is good, but now id like to be able to boot straight into android, is that at all possible, im sure i read something earlier about it, but i cant find it again, would be cracking if i could load android on boot up!

you should be able too but you will have to reinstall your kernel but you should have asked this on ROMS thread

I did that and the wireless was not working so i recommend to do a complete wipe so you can make sure you dont have problems trust me on the long run its better.

You'll save more time by wiping, believe it or not. A lot of little issues may pop up if you don't.

Do this... Make a nandroid of your 4.4 setup, then try flashing over it with 4.5. If you have problems, either go back to your 4.4 nandroid, or wipe and start over with a fresh flash of 4.5.

thank you for the quick responses i had to wipe every and it is working great average of 40mflops

some questions
I am only a few days old to the flashing a ROM to the HTC Evo but I feel I have a pretty good hang of things. I have the following things:
4.5 Mikfroyo (installed last night after finally reading enough to upgrade to the 4.5)
netarchy 4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc flashed
the sdreadahead-512.zip installed for faster SD card speeds ( if you want to try it out... http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/02/h...c-evo-even-faster-than-previous-mod.html#more )
but what i am trying to accomplish now is getting the Vanilla lockscreen to work on my phone. I have read that the 4.5 update seems to have the lockscreen within the ROM already, that I just need to delete or rename the htclockscreen.apk within the system/app folder with the Root Explorer app. Here is my issue though: I have changed the Root Explorer to r/w and have located the file from root--->system-->app--->htclockscreen.apk. If I tap on the file it asks me to install/ view/ or cancel. But I thought it was already installed on the system already? If not, do I need to install it, then delete it? That sounds outright silly but then again some stuff is just that way. I have renamed the file and rebooted but, again, to no success. I know that there was a person asking the same question but I guess I could not understand their conversation enough to know how to follow as they did.
Also, just a general question. why is the 4g toggle missing in the notifications bar now? that was kind of handy for me. oh well, i guess i can just use the HTC toggle on a page instead.
Last question, i would like to flash a new theme to the ROM (white version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853050) But when I downloaded it, set it to the SD card, went into recovery, flashed it, and rebooted, the HTC splash screen (white screen) just stayed on forever. I had to restore from my backup, thank god I knew to do that before hand, and just kept the stock theme with MikFroyo. what could I be doing wrong?

I also am having a problem with the lock screen but mine is a little different. When i boot up and unlock phone for the fisrt time. I get a forced close error. Other then that everything in 4.5 is working good so far

Long press on the .apk, a menu will pop up, then click rename from there. Just did it yesterday and it worked fine. I just added .bk at the end (htclockscreen.apk.bk)
As for the 4g missing in the pulldown menu, you can learn how to change it here (taken from the mikfroyo thread) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877003

thank you Bamba, the lockscreen is now operational and wonderful!!! always have wanted this lockscreen! (Guess it is true, the grass is always greener on the other side.)
as for the missing 4g toggle, i kimd of understand the thread but i will read over it one more time so that i do not mess anything up.
Thanks again!

What kernel are you using if you dont mind me askin?.. and are you using SetCPU or anything?.. Juice defender type stuff?..
I was just wondering cuz I have 4.5 w/ the stock kernel and only get about 28-29 most of the time... not that it really matters, but it does seem a little sluggish goin from app to app.... thanks

i have since switched to vp 3.0 remastered, and is by far in my experience the best rom i have every used. everything is working good for me so far and since falling in love with LP this is the rom for me. I am using the latest radio and pri 1.77 and sbc-net 4.1.9 no havs and it is amazing, really fast. So far I have been on this rom and kernel for 18 hours sitting at 71%. I am going to make a detailed video and post a link to it here and for youtube.

New to mikfroyo,Had cynaogenmod cm7 on evo with cricket.worked ok.3g did.Friday i had it flashed back to sprint.Put cyanogen back on it.worked great.EXCEPT the 3g would go back to 1x. So put 4.5 mikfroyo. and it works great.So my question is were do you get the updates for mikfroyo? cyanogen released nightly builds.Is there a site or info on updates?Also is there a 2.3 android mikfroyo out?

many issues after dead battery on nand droid

the phone is freezing often
slow touch responce
programs force closing
yahoo mail doesnt work anymore
its shutting down on its own randomly
and some other problems i cant remember.
its a nand CMYLXGO stock desire HD v1.1.3
is this a common problem, if so where can i find info aout it i searched for dead battery and didnt show much.

Maybe some data got corrupted. So you should reflash or flash another build. Maybe even your radio to be sure.

why does it happen? i thought we wouldnt have this problem with nand builds.

well, lot of roms use the data2sd method for storing data on SD, for me its pure nonsense (app2sd is fine). With data2sd the risk is very high that you get data corruption and then all the weird force close madness begins. Now if you run out of battery your device doesnt shut down properly/cleanly, its the same as you would just pull a cable to shut down a pc. So running out of battery is the same as pulling the battery.

wow
I'm using CMYLXGO's BlueTopia (NAND) and the battery widget got to 0% i think... i was worried since charging MADGLR 1.3 requires me to activate the screen / turn on the phone....luckily it did the GO GO GO thing and started to boot .... i plugged in the charger and now all is well.... lucky me I guess...
PS .. I guess the battery widget is a showing a percentage or two off

That's what it does for everybody.

the phone also started to have SOD.
i plug it in at night to charge, in the morning it would not wake up.
the alarm would go off but the screen is blank.

now the phone just freezes randomly.
can anyone suggest any fix or troublehsooting tips.
yes im well aware that i can reinstall it again but id like to try and find the problem first before wiping it all clean AGAIN.
why would a dead battery cause this on a custom build and not on a factory installed rom?

Been there. The only solution that worked for was to flash it from scratch once again.
Dunno why the phone is acting this way but now I always charge or turn off my phone when my battery is down on 10 %. Better to be safe than sorry.
I'm using MDJ's CM7 v. 2.6 so I think this is an issue on many builds if not on everyone.

Since u are aware u can reinstall it again then simply do so...Yeah its a real pain but just tk time out n do it...I've been using CMY's builds for so long and have never encountered such an issue..but dats just me...
i see u r still using V 1.1.3, CMY has released a much more better build (but then u already know that), so go download dat...perform a Task 29 ,install MAGLDR ( u know d works) etc...
As 4 y a dead battery will cause this on a custom build and not on a factory installed ROM? ...Me thinks u already know d answer (stick 2 stock WinMo if u think its better)..
P.S. Remember charging ur battery to 100% b4 starting..gives u a fairly calibrated battery.

you could also try to wipe the battery information via magldr?
you choose recovery in magldr > clockworkmod recovery > advanced > wipe battery stats.

tried that didnt work
isnt there another way besides reinstalling everything over and over?

wow i mean we went so far as to have it working on the phone but nobody knows why a dead battery causes corrupted system on a custom rom but not on the original?

How to install a Kernel.

Hey guys,
I know everyone is going to first think, What the hell, this is too easy what a noob.
Anyway, point is, ive been looking for a tutorial on this for ages and just can´t find one.
On all Android Roms they always just write things like "Also make sure to intall the kernel" and thats it or when you look through generall ROM tutorials for android you just see "Don´t forget to install the coresponding kernel"
Nothing on how to do it.
So I have the following questions please:
1. I want to install this ROM on my HTC HD2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316632
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I install the kernel for it?
2. It tells me to partition the SD card, I really don´t get what they mean with all of those numbers?
Please send me to a tutorial where it is explained or explain it, it would really be a great great help. Thank you!

Well.
First thing - it depends on whether you want to flash the Magldr or cLK version.
I highly recommend cLK, with it you can use ClockworkMod Recovery, which will allow you to easily install pretty much everything that's in correct zip format.
So if you flash the cLK version, afterwards you just download the kernel (that's in the thread you provided) in the .zip format and save it on your sdcard. Then go into Clockworkmod Recovery (if you don't know what it is, search the net, and study) and flash zip from sdcard. That's it for the kernel.
If you want to use Magldr, I can't help with that, I'm using cLK.
About SD partitioning - there is a good guide here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dhXJZPjZzBHcAtIE_jfEeuG988UDUaP7GfZk909nNCc/edit?hl=en&authkey=CLDJw80N&pli=1
It's a guide made especially for AmeriCan Android ROM, but the partitioning part is well written and it should work for all ROMs like that.
Just check it out, if you need anything more, let me know.

Thanks man.
This is great.
Did it with cLK and it was really easy.
Thanks!
Edit.
I need some help on this ROM. I tried to post this question in the ROM thread but it wont let me so im hoping someone can help me here.
My phone won´t boot anymore. It just gets stuck at the HTC logo with this ROM installed.
What I did was:
1. Wiped data and cleared cache
2. Installed kernel via CWM (from SD)
3. Installed ROM via CWM (from SD)
4. After succesful install (with out errors at least) i press reboot now.
And from then on its just suck at the HTC logo.
Ive left it for over an hour now just to be sure but nothing.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with it?
Thanks!

No problem mate, if anything more, just ask - here or PM.
Edit:
P.S. if you wanna confirm that you have the new kernel installed, just go to settings, about phone and there you see the kernel info.

I'm going to jump this existing thread as I also have a beginners question on the same subject...
I already installed a ROM (NexusHD2) and having huge battery drain problems (drains from 100% to dead in aprox. 15 hours on 100% standby with no applications running), but having less than 10 posts on this forum, I can't ask in the thread for the particular ROM. But I see a lot running this ROM with a tytung_r14 kernel, so I figured that I probably had to install this as well and I'm going to try it, but one question though...
Was I supposed to install the kernel BEFORE installing the ROM? Or can I just go and install the kernel now and all will be dandy?
Thanks.

Just flash Rom again in Recovery mod then flash kernel later on. It's gonna be fine, I believe.

Why should I do a recovery flash of my ROM and then flash kernel afterwards instead of just flashing the kernel right now if that is possible?
The ROM was flashed friday afternoon, so it's a pretty clean ROM.

You can flash kernel at anytime, you don't have to reflash anything.
Also, it might not be the kernel, which is responsible for your battery life.
Search for thread called something like ultimate battery guide for android and there are all things you can do to check what's wrong and make your battery life great. I did that, and am very satisfied.

I'm currently running the existing ROM on my SD card, and I'm not experiencing any battery drain what so ever...
I've also installed the ROM in NAND previously and didn't experience any heavy battery drain as well.
But to answer your question, no you weren't suppose to install the kernel before installing the ROM; The ROM (in SD or NAND format) already comes with a compiled kernel (It's a file called zImage).
You can install the kernel and you should just be dandy. Just remember that your battery life is heavily influenced by your cell reception and by the synching that occurs in the background.
To give you a reference, my phone is at 89% has been on standby for 13.5 hours with WIFI ON and data ON, but with data synching turned OFF for facebook and gmail. I'm also currently running it through the SD card with kernel r13. You should get similar results with the newer or existing kernel.

Is this with the NexusHD2 ROM?
When my phone is "sleeping" with screen/WiFi/Sync/Bluetooth OFF my phone is using 55-60 mA.
With the screen on and lowest standard brightness setting it is at 115-125 mA

That means that you have a lurking app that keeps your phome from going into standby,so called partial wake.
Go into you app Spare Parts, click on battery history, choose other usage, since last boot or unplugged.
The screen on and running percentages tell you about the wake lock.
If it is nearly the same, that means you have almost no partial wakes.
If running is much higher, than screen on, that means you have some app that keeps phone awake.
Now choose partial wake usage in Spare Parts and it'll show you the apps.
And now you either uninstall them or change settings.
I'm on AmeriCan Android rom, getting 1-4mAh consumption in standby.

Yep, this is with the NexusHD2 ROM. My phone during standby, only draws about 2-4mA.
55-60mA during sleep/standby is not normal. Are you in an area with bad cell reception?
