So I have a modded HTC HD2, which will reboot by itself while Im running an app or on the internet browsing. Sometimes just randomly, I have had this current configuration on it since I got the phone. But this problem is happening more often now. Sometimes when it reboots I have to go through hell to get android to bootup again. Please direct me in the right direction to fix this, or if there is a better configuration of mods I could change to.
Android System 2.2.1 (FRG83) Nexus One

did you try the usual "format the sd card" method? if yes, try a different brand of sdcard. It may not seem obvious but sdcard have been found to effect just about everything on hd2 android including battery life, lag, SOD, phone call, etc.
Also, what radio version are you using?
I cant remember the radio? Where could I go to find it? Would unmounting my sd card cause me to have to recopy android to the card again?
I've experienced all the issues you have talked about. it drove me nuts. I have spent a lot of time reading in the forums here. I also, tried lot of different winmo roms and radios as well as droid builds. Many told me it was hardware issues. My gut feeling was always it was software related to droid. Most of it has gone away now. I did a task 29 and it didn't help cause the issues still took place. I reformat my sd card everytime i switch builds. Im using energy rom 21683 extreme from the 5th NOV. using 2.12.50.02_2 radio. droid build mdeejay froyo revolution 1.5 with is S2 smartass kernel that i download from his thread in hd2 droid development. Just stay with it and keep reading these forums and trying different combos. i hope some of this was helpful.

The radio can be seen when you first power on your phone...it's something like 2.10.xxx.xxx. The latest version is 2.15.50.xxx. Be very cautious when upgrading radio. Make sure you get the proper version that is meant for your phone.
Unmounting sd won't delete anything from your sdcard. Formatting will delete everything.
If you have trouble, try a new sdcard. That's my best advice. If that didn't help, try a new rom or update radio.
I had the same problem, I solved it by installing a different WinMo rom (went from Chucky to Energy standard). I'm using latest 2.15 radio and MDJ's revolution 1.4 android rom. I didn't format my SD card since it's pretty much full and I haven't formatted it for a while now. Did delete all the . folders tho.
I solved this problem by doing a re-install of my android bulild and not updating the kernel or installing autokill/task killer apps. This also solved my battery life issues, strangely. I can't draw many conclusions from this but at least it's something to try. I'm using bluetopia sense build.
I have had the same problem for a while and after several different android/kernel trials I have come to the conclusion that it's a kernel issue for me. So I can't use the modded OC kernels, cause I keep having random reboots. I just ported stock evo kernel (linux on wince) and that solved the problem for me, although other kernels (e.g mdj Sx) are smoother and faster...

Hi guys...
I've run into a bit of an issue when trying to boot the latest and greatest Froyo builds on here...
done everything as required (all works fine on 2.1 builds)
however...
it creates the datastore fine... no problem...
goes to HTC white boot screen,
then
Android animated screen...
and then a brief glimpse of a locked Sense screen, and it then vibrates and subsequently shuts down.. (not reboot just shut down)
any ideas guys it's driving me potty..
I have a clean class 2 16 Gb micro SD card
and as i said the 2.1 builds work fine..
I have now changed the topic to discuss trying to resolve the extended battery issue
I had issues with my 16GB SD Card. I switched to a 2GB one and didn't seem to encounter any problems.

Did you delete all the Android files you had before? It could be that any different file you overwrite or replace could interfere.
And second, why make a new thread for this? This easily couldve been posted here in the HD2 Linux/Android Q&A Thread - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!! thread
See where i'm getting at?
THis way you get an answer, but the forum also stays clean and crisp without 2-3 reply threads.
apologies...
an update though.I have used a formatted 2 gig card.. nothing else on there and still nothing...
the radio is fine... so I am very confused...
Hi nutmegy
I have the very same problem. Tried to format sd, to install other roms, anything, and I cannot find a solution.
What rom/radio are you using?
Let´s find a pattern....
cheers,
Yeyes
using 2.10.50.26
Ok, I was using 2.10, and changed to 2.12, and nothing changed.
What rom do you have?
I had BSB Beast 5, and today I changed to Miri but still doesn´t work.
sorry, I didn´t see your avatar with the rom.
I tried with a 2 gb sd card and with a 8 gb sd card. No way
mmmmmm what rom to use...
someone mentioned a de fragment worked for them maybe you should try it
yea tried that.. anyway a freshly formatted sd card should do surely????!!!
I have the same issues
2.1 runs ok
2.2 does boot but just shuts down 5-10 seconds after lockscreen, tried different kernels and differend builds, formatted sd a few times, tried different radio's
Euro HD2, no simlock
SPL: 2.08 HSPL3
ROM: Stock 1.66 dutch
Radio: 2.10.50.26
at least I'm not the only one lol.
I have a 16 GB card and everything works very well !!! I use winmo miri roms 17.6 if it can help.
already tried that rom too... I dunno...
i've had same situation here. I couldn't boot any Froyo build (2.1 was fine though) with artemis build and 2.50.xx build, because my phone was switching off just after "welcome" screen. I've been trying to figure out what was the problem for past couple of days, i've been trying everything, and than...
I've switched my battery, from extended HTC HD2 battery (2400 mAh) into regular, stock 1230 mAh and.. surprisingly it worked.
I don't have any problems with any froyo build since then.
cheers

You are putting the Froyo builds in a FOLDER on the ROOT of the SD card correct? Froyo is the only one you run from a folder. The other builds go no folder, root of sd. Might also try dual boot cab or a higher class SD card. Im running Class 10 - 8GB, Miri V17.6 Lite, Radio 2.12.50.02_2, not one prob.

mmmmmm I am using the extended battery... will try that with standard.... bizarre
Ah...have the same problem, and guess what...I use the official HD Extended Battery!!!
Well spotted that man...at work now but will try standard battery this weekend.
...might be too early for assumptions but a pattern emerging...
it's a shame it doesn't work on the extended battery especially since it drains the battery so much.... mmmmmmmmmmmm
Alright, I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I have tried multiple custom roms, extracted the Android roms to /sdcard/Android and to just /sdcard, used SD formatter to re-format SD card. Tried 2GB, 8GB and the stock 16GB card and I can't get Android to boot. I get the text scrolling, then it just stops and hangs and the last line is "usb: product_id=0xff9
I'm beginning to wonder if I have a flaky handset since battery life on WinMO is horrid even with a new battery. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I haven't been able to find any posts stating the same problems I'm having.
I have had that problem with most of the builds of android I have tried. It will boot up one time then never boot again unless I remove android completely and drop it fresh back on the device. I also tried all the things you did and it wouldn't work still. I gave up android. I didnt really care for it anyway, was really only wanting it for a couple of apps but couldnt deal with the frustration.
It would be different if I was able to get Android to run even once.

We could help you figure out your problem if you post your radio, rom, build etc...
PROBLEM SOLVED
flash a 2.13 ROM flash the 2.12 RADIO
format you're SD CARD, select the highest allocation size, remove the "quick format" check mark (it should take like 40 mins to format)
download the 2.1Darkstone Android and place it in the ROOT of your SD card
start ANDROID and give it like 20 mins at the most and it should boot up just fine.
THIS had been answer at least 4 times already, search better next time.
IF YOU HAVE TRY'DE THIS EXACT SAME INST and you still can't boot up, PM.

it seems that every time i install a new andro build i get more and more issues.
im running chunkyrom with 2.12.50 radio
my first rom was froyostone 1 it ran perfect no issues at all
i installed the HDfroyo and started having the typical andro issues
then i tried mattc leo and it was overall great build but i had even more issues and not as stable as froyostone1
2 days ago installed froyostone 2 and having a very unpleasant experience with it crashing restarting lagging thewifi and mms and lock screen lagging etc.
note that first froyostone was installed on a card that i didnt even touch.
all the files from blackberry phone were still on it i only ran an error check in windows.
for mattc i completely cleared out the sd card formatted and ran an error check.
and started having issues.
is formatting under PC windows and formatting from winmo makes any difference?
im puzzled why im having more and more issues,
it almost seems like the winmo keeps getting more and more corrupted by the android builds or something like that..
HaRET closes WinMo and modules completely then starts Android... so dont think so..
Anyway a dev can give u a good insight and help you better.
Good Luck

I think that you will find that the only references to past builds will be on the actual SD card used, which is why a complete format of that card is recommended. On the root of the card will be folders created by your Android installation, some begin with a full-stop, e.g.: .Mail, .footprints, but there are others that do not follow that convention. If you do not want to do a complete format of the SD card, you may want to do a screen shot of the card prior to install, so that you can compare before and after, then before a new subsequent Android installation, delete the new files and folders created.
Some people are experiencing the problems you describe with this PPP version, but the Dev was aware of this and has posted a fix,so it may be better for you to try the RMNET rootfs. Hope this helps.

most of the android rom i try running on my htc hd2 work fine but already reboot back to windowmobile on it own how can i fix this
im running energyROM right now on radio 2.14.50.04
Hi...
Did I understand it right?
You bott from WinMo to Android and after some time the phone reboot?
Which EnergyROM do you use?
Which Android?
Many regards
yes and thank for the fast reply and
energy .sencity
and most like froyo, hyperdroid, and coredroid and others
How long does it work until it reboots?
Did you try to reformat your SD Card with 64kb cluster size? That should help if I read that right. Otherwise try another SD.
This can be read 2 ways. Either he is having reboot problems or he is complaining that when he reboots his phone he is back in windows mobile

no i know it reboot back to window mobile my problem is that it does it on it own and yes i formated the sd card more then once and it differ something 10min or something right when it starts up
I use to have problems with my sd card. Once I got a Class 10 SD card, all my problems was solved. The original class 2 16GB was just too slow. Especially when it goes standby.
Now everything runs super fast.

Maybe you should use this tool to format you SD Card. Yes it is a german page, but u will understand the important things like the big "download" button and the download Server button on the next page
I use this, too. And it works for me since a couple of years for USB Sticks and SD Cards
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!

Solution!
Instructions :
- Download the Android SD version of your choice. Unzip, Extract the 'Android' folder to root of your SD Card. (Make sure to Format the SD card before doing this.)
- After you have done all steps go into Android folder and tap CLRCAD (for working sound), and after that just tap HaRET
-Booting ..
-Enjoy

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 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.
