[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] Why wont my HD2 Accept ANYTHING?

Hi,
I have been on this forum for the past 2-3 days trying to get android on my gf's HD2 and it just wont have it.
I have tried MCCM's HD v4 Desire one
I have tried Froyo 1.5
I have tried DL Desire Series, both SD and MAGLAR.
The ones where you click CLRCAD.exe then haret.exe either say it doesent have certificates to run or parts are missing. Or it goes to a black scree and gets stuck on "Jumping To Kernel" and it stays like that for ages (tested for 1 hour, never budged)
The DL desire series via MAGLAR wont work either, I need HSPL (sp?) to install MAGLAR but HSPL keeps reporting back that the file Rapi.dll is missing.
My SPL version is 1.42**** so technically thats right ( from what I have read )
I have tried formatting the SD card via PC and device, also tried a factory reset and an additional 2 other SD cards. Still nada.
What else can it be? Someone mentioned the radio but there is so many questions being asked in a specific thread that mine gets lost and since this is more of a global issue I thought a thread of its own is deserved
I really want this and will go to any length to get it ( not keen on ROM flashing thought, would like to avoid turning the handset into a hammer rather than a phone)
Hope I havent busted any rules
Cheers,
Gib

You need radio 2.14 or more for Android.
aka, upgrade your ROM.

You are not alone
You are not alone here.
I have been having this problem too, I get stuck on the HTC white screen. though I haven't tried much ROM but I have tried formating and reflahing of my WM ROM.
I once did a stock ROM official update with: (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2 .15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship)
ever since I have not been able to find how to flash using SPL, I have been flashing using SSPL_RU and my radio is 2.15.50.14.
Could this reason be the problem.
I need help please I want to have a feel of droid.

Know the feeling
I have been trying all the different android magldr sd roms and everytime its the same story. First boot fine. Second boot and on it just hangs at the green htc logo. I have tried so many things i don't know what to do next.

Have you tried one of the Energy ROM's? I found on my unlocked HD2 that these were the only roms (going back a while now) that I could get Android running off an SD card. I've since heard that there is a basically blank rom for people who want to run nothing but android. It's a small rom, only about 30mb.
It's in a few places around the board. I can't remember what the name of that one is off the top of my head, but any of the Energy series, or the Miri ROM's apparently work too.
Good luck!

Ater trying some nand roms i came back to the orignal firmware( the same as you).
And i also have this problem , it just load into a picture with htc on it.

Have you tried using a different SD card? My Sandisk 8gb didn't accept anything. I had an old 512mb laying around that came with my E90, loaded SuperRAM on it (aprox 450mb including data.img) and it booted straight away.

2.15.50.* is the right radio for most SD builds, make sure you have enough free space on SD. most builds have at least 512mb if not 1gb data.img which gets created when first boot. If runs out of space it will get stuck on boot screen. No hspl required with 3.14 HTC winmo rom

I also try to get Android in my HD2 (energy ROM). I am somewhat puzzled however: I want to flick back and forth between WM and Android and many programs I have reside onto my SD card. I have read in an earlier post that before attempting Android I should format my card - does this mean that I cannot have WM data (programs etc) in the same SD card I run android? or that I can transfer them back AFTER I manage (if) to load Android?. Thank you

The SD card has to be formatted in FAT32. Just to make sure the card is clean I copy all my data to my pc, format the card and transfer it all back.

OK thank you - got it!

Unfortunately I cannot get passed the green HTC splash screen - my HD2 stays there for time no end and the only solution is to take battery out. Any suggestions?

Assuming you've got everything set up properly (right radio, hspl, ...) which you can find on the Android forum. I think you'll have to try using a different brand of sd card. Some cards simply don't play nice with Android.

Got uber annoyed with the SD method, just ended up doing a full scale flash to ROM. Was easier lol

I am using Energy ROM (Energy Serie: Energy.Leo.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.12)
My phone just hangs on the white HTC screen when I try to boot into Android from the SD card. I flashed my ROM with SSPL_RU after an update with the Stock ROM (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship)

I would almost agree with that except, i have 2 exactly the same 16 gb cards, each with a 3 gb fat32 primary partition. 1 loads android but wont allow me to do things like take pictures[it says there isn't an sd card.] The second card just hangs at the green htc screen. Even if I copy the working partition to the other card, it still hangs.

Thanks for this Info. I didn't take into consideration that the file will be enlarged during booting. The copied Android folder was 508MB in size but this got enlarged to about 1.3GB during boot up. I thought if I just leave about 1.2GB in all the SD card I have been trying that it should be enough. But I was wrong.
Thanks a lot I have done multiple reboot without any problem.
I am enjoying my first Android feel.
Thanks once again.

Android on HD2 hates most SD Cards
From my own limited experience to also having read many posts I can say that most sd cards prevent Android from running properly on the hd2. Mine works fine with radio 2.14/2.15 and the stock Sandisk 16gb card that came with my tmous hd2, but I recently tried a wintec 16gb card that made Android run like a broke-wheel-cart and other sd cards I have laying around make it fail.
I think everyone needs to add what card they are using to their signature, or else we might all just end up howling in the wind.
Based on some feedback from another post I just ordered this Sandisk 16gb card from Newegg. It is Model # SDSDQ-016G-A11M . It is reported that that model# provides class10 speeds even though it is sold as a class2. It's use with Android is supposed to be good.

16 GB SD badgering

Greetings to whoever is reading this!
I am not a big poster but.. i really can't find a solution for this one.
I searched around the forums but i was not able to find something quite like it, maybe i overlooked something but anyway, here goes:
I recently got myself a 16GB class 6 Silicon Power microSD card. The problem i am having with this card is that whenever i try to boot into Android either from NAND or SD something rather bad happens. With NAND the boot is successful, however, after the phone is fully booted it starts to lag and is having trouble resuming from sleep (either takes an eternity to conjure up the lock screen or simply stays black) and so on.
On SD builds the story is a tad different (i've tried both MAGLDR and WinMo). On some builds Leo manages to boot initially and everything seems to work, no lag and so on, however, when i do one, in some cases more restart(s) then the phone ends up in a boot loop.
I have tried all the same ROMs with the same settings on other memory cards: a class 6 8GB and various 2gb cards with no problems.
Another fact that might be interesting is that the card has no problems working with WinMo 6.5 nor WP 7. Both boot and work fine even after several restarts. Also, i tried the card in my camera and it did not have any problems either.
So far i have tried:
Formatting the card
- using Windows (tried all possible cluster sizes and so on)
- using SD Formatter 3 (both quick and normal format)
- using EASEUS Partition manager
- using WinMo 6.5
- using Android
- i think i also tried something in CWM but don't remember exactly what i did.
Cloned my 8GB SD to the 16 GB card making it look as if it was 8GBs and had it's properties using EASEUS Partition Manager.
and also tied flashing a couple of different Radios but i don't think they had an effect...
I'm running Leo 512
HSPL 2.08
Radio: 2.14.50.04
Well, i think i mentioned everything.. if anyone has any advice, please post
If i remember anything else i'll edit
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Last Try ! I'm sick and tired...

I've got a HD2 just to try wp7. After some careful reading manages to install, and it was booting and used the basic features for couple of hours without any issues, until i wanted to try out maps,,,, The HD2 got stuck and went to a boot loop.
After checking so much for the one and a half day (I'm so tired and sleepy) i'm sick of this phone. I ve seen many posts regarding this issue, but no one seem to post a clear answer that rectifies the issue. Yes i've tried task 29 and gone back to wm 6.5 as well. Anything else i'm missing here.
If i keep the battery off for about 10 mins or so then it boots up properly, but not all the time. I cannot use any most of the features, only texting and calling. If anything else is launched (IE, People, A/C config...) goes back to the boot loop. WTF
Pls guys help me. well i'm a complete nOOb for this and sorry for the long post.

I am by no means an expert here, but have you tried a different SD card? When I first flashed my HD2, when WP7 was first available for it, my SD card was incompatible and it was constantly rebooting. Some SD cards are incompatible with WP7, even the ones that originally shipped with the HD2.

I know how you feel... that's exactly what happened to me. OMCA1A's right, Try a new SD Card and you should be good to go.

Which method you use ? Zune or 1 shot install
Did you have wp7 on hd2 before trying to install This rom? Was the sd card working?
Did you unlock/ reformat sd card or install straight over?

as already mentioned it can be the SD card and is most likely the SD card in your case, how you install it, cabs or zune or whatever doesnt make the slightest difference, anyone using any card that is not certified to work with WP7 stands the risk of running in to the restart issue.
it might not happen today, it might not be next month or even year, but potentially the restart issue can rear its head when xx% of storage space free is hit
i say xx because it could be anything from 1 -100.
Peronally i find that dumping a few hundred meg of music on gets past these dodgy areas, like just now, if i remove 12MB of data from my device it will start restarting, i can replicate this, if i do a reflash i have to install at least 200MB of music before doing anything, 600MB on top of that i get more restarts so dumped another 200MB of music, installed navigon, restart issues, install 50MB of music all fine again, that its a pain in the arse but its workable, it just means i have a lot of music i will never listen too on my device

Sorry I seriously gave up on my HD2 and was using my sisters old LG phone (Sucked big time ) Yes OMAC1A I have tried 4 different SD cards, so I doubt it’s the SD card.
Moschino02 What do u mean by Zune or one shot install ? I installed the normal way here are the steps I did.
Did task29
Installed latest radio
Installed MAGLDR
Then the wp7 ROM bu running a DWI.exe
Well after I got tired I did install it over and over and over. Yes the cards were working fine on my x10i
dazza9075 The SD I used was empty.
Also guys like I mentioned I only cannot use any of the smart phone features, if I get in to maps or IE or any other task which consumes a lot of CPU, it happens.
I will try one more SD card cos u guys insist and if it doesn’t I’m seriously gonna sell it off for scrap if u want let me know it’s gonna be dirt cheap I can’t tolerate this anymore.
Also one more thing guys, i've tried android as well, a 2.2 desire ROM and a MIUI ROM. Some times it gets stuck on start up it self or on the initial setup. That to me doesn't sound like a SD card issue.
Also it overheats

You tried with Sandisk class 4\6 SD cards, right? Cuz those are the only ones that have a decent chance of working.

Overheating of the HD2 is a common problem, saw many of these phones being sold on ebay with that problem...

I have the same problem... Still trying to fix it... But I know the problem comes when the phone tries to access the SD card (sandisk).

So after you install wp7 rom by running dwi.exe ( you mean v2native rom, right?)
What did you do? Did zune find updates to mango? Or did you install mango by sending cabs? What version are you on?

Moschino02 - Yes it says,
Name: HTC HD7 T9292
OS Version: 7.0.7392.0
Also i have tried other ROM as well, did not have any luck. Even at this very moment it goes through a boot loop. Just tried accessing HTC hub and it went off.
After installing sometimes it reboots or i have to manually do it by removing the battery or a by a soft reset. Yes zune finds updates but i cant update. When the rebooting point comes it never reboots to the OS just goes to a boot loop. *@#^&%$
I have used the following,
Verbatim 2GB micro SD
Unbranded 8 GB Micro SDHC
Kingmax 2GB Micro SD
Sandisk 4GB Micro SD
and none of them worked.
jinge - I dont think so. Initially i thought the same. And i removed my SD card to see but the problems kept continuing.
IF its a SD card incompatibility issue the HD2 should work fine with android. It boots only up to the initial start up screen doesn't go beyond that. MIUI is the closest i got but that too gave problems.
I'm seriously sick of the hd2 guys and i hate it i wish i could show it to you'll.
This has to be a hardware fault. IS IT ????????

Can somebody please help? Install WP7 on a phone that does not boot...

Hi all,
My HD2 does not boot any more, and attempts to somehow boot into WM 6.5 and get my data failed. So, I want to erase everthing from the phone, and try a WP 7 rom.
My phone does not boot (it reboots endlesly - sometimes I see the WM 6.5 logo).
If I press the volume down, I get a 4 colour screen that says:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-3.03.HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
I thought a good idea to reflash WM6.5 (the official ROM), but the HTC site has drop any support for the device. So, I don't have the official ROM...
I tried to find some info in the sticky threads, but I am confused, and I don't know how to proceed. Can somebody give any hints?

I found a ROM in my laptop (which must have been an original for my HD2), and I extracted RUU_Signed.nbh, copied it toan SD card, and re-installed WM 6.5.
Now the phone boots. It reports radio 2.06.51.07.
Now, the 4-colour screen shows SPL-1.42.000.
I have made some progress...

you make backwards not forward...
only HSPL 2.08 work for WP7.... not 3.03
and try read install tutorial from link in my signature

Well, I made some progress into a booting phone, at least.
I had installed SPL 2.08, but after that all other installs failed (both through USB & SD card). It took me a while to find out that I need the one ending in HSPL, and not the one ending in zeros.
Your tutorial is very good, I have installed MAGLDR, and now I am downloading the ROM (it will take a few hours)...
Thank you very much for your help...

I followed the instructions, and installed the ROM. When it boots, I see MAGLDR loading, is prints out some numbers, then writes Go, Go, GO, I get an htc logo on a black screen, and the phone stays there for ever.
What may be wrong?
Reading the thread, I saw members asking about their SD card. Is it important?
I have used a small (4GB) one.

Ahh.. didnt mean to thank lol...
Anyways, sd card speed is important because the Windows Phone OS uses the SD card as raid along with the internal memory. So it technically combines internal with external memory to have a working OS since it was built around that subject. Because of this, it would constantly read-write to the sd card and internal memory (but more on the SD card for memory space IMO).

Thanks for your help. Actually, trying the rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236027
worked. Perhaps the rom I tried was not suitable for my card...

this (Yuki BTTF) ROM lock card.... you must unlock card first before flash other ROM

Further to what has been mentioned so far, you might want to use a microSD card with decent random read/write speeds (at least 1 MB/s write speed for 512Kb chunks). You can test your microSD card using software such as CrystalDiskMark or Atto Disk Benchmark).
Some microSD cards are proven to work flawlessly (I use a Sandisk 32 GB class 4 card, P/N: SDSDQM-032G-B35).
I hope this helps you out.

To say the truth, it is not an easy task (and I can only imagine the problems the ROM creators face).
I had a class 4 sandisk 4 GB to test. Initially, I tried the "03.April 25 Lang HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 Tango 7.10.8773.98 v7.9" ROM, but it never got passed through its booting screen, with the HTC logo on the black screen.
After many retries, I tried to use another ROM, and I found "XBmod-Yuki". This worked just fine with my SD card, but Zune did only a small update, very different from the versions mentioned as upgrade path.
The update scripts didn't work either, so it was "stuck" to WP7, and I wanted to try Mango.
So, I returned back to Pdaimatejam, to get a surprise: it booted, and told me that the sd card is either from another WP7 phone, or absent. The SD card didn't work anywhere!
Many hours of searching led to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17306984&postcount=3, which is very difficult to achieve:
the tools didn't work with the zune version of my PC, and when I managed to install the cab, the phone with the SD unlocking tool froze after a few seconds in WP7, so getting it to work and unlock the SD card, was a shere luck.
So, having retrieved my SD card back (it now works in my laptop), I searched the forum for suggested sd cards, and I bought a transcend 8GB class 10, to try again with Pdaimatejam, which does not seem to lock the SD card.
But I haven't been lucky, I get the same behaviour from Pdaimatejam (stuck in the HTC logo) also with the new card. And I am out of SD cards to try...
Actually, I am thinking in buying a Lumia 900, but I know nothing about WP7. I like very much their GUI visually, but I don't know if they work well (and everybody seems to suggest to not buy it). I thought it would be easy to "test" them in an HD2 I had arround, to see what WP7 offer, especially with offline GPS navigation. But is not that easy after all...

I don't know why, but following your suggestion (install WM 6.5 - I used official from HTC in SD card), and install again everything, but avoid task29, worked.
Thanks.

You can update either through the zune software or the cab sender. Did you try the latter method? You can find the appropriate thread over here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250869
You can fetch the cabs from XBMod's FTP repository, specifically here:
xboxmod.sylvester20007.com/CABS/OSBUILD.CAB/
Would you have an issue with the SD card, I'd advise you to have a look at the text file located within the CABS folder.
So far, I've had a great experience with itself. It's great stability wise, and gets you the job done smoothly. Of course, the marketplace is a different story: it still lacks a few key apps, in some categories, such as GPS navigation software. (of course, you can already fetch navigon, turn by turn or garmin from the marketplace, but still, none of them has maps covering my current location).
As for deciding whether or not to buy a second generation windows phone, such as the recently released Lumia 900, it's all up to you to decide based on your experience with the OS, although I'd be more inclined to wait for a proper confirmation from Microsoft or Nokia, that WP 8 will be dispatched to currently available 1st and 2nd generation windowsphone devices.
In any case, try updating your XBmod-Yuki BTTF rom using the cab sender, and hopefully it works this time.
