I have this problem every time i turn of my phone or restart it, no matter what Android version is on it.
All Android versions boot without problem for the first time, It took me about 10minutes or so, I set up everything, spend hours on it and than if i want to switch back to WM, I can forget about it. Just can't boot Android for the second time, it gets to the black-screen-green-htc and go on like this forever.
I though it may be in SD card (I had 2Gb), so i bough new one few days ago (4Gb). I installed MDJ Froyo and it worked fine until I decided to restart phone in order to switch back to WM. Again, Android can't boot...
To get it working, I have to delete all android files, copy new one and start again for the first time...
This is really frustrating, and I can't keep my phone running forever without shutting down or restarting so does anyone have any solution for this problem?
Thank you,
Mario
EIDT: I tried every possible solution in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854182 and nothing works
It happens sometimes, when it happens to me I just take out the battery and reboot and it starts normaly.
Secondly is you android folder on the root of you sd?
SD/ANDOID
Aren't you suppose to copy files from Android folder to SDcard root folder, so that HARET AND CLRCAD are on root folder, not like SD/Android/Haret.exe?
no the android folder has to be on the root of the SD
so it looks like SD\ANDROID (and in android haret...)
I have the same problem. I have tried different droid versions, and they work the first time, but if I restart the phone, I have to delete the droid rom and reinstall it again because it stays on the HTC screen for hours. I have it on the root of sd card.
What has worked for me a few times is instead of using the bootloader I go to explorer and manually click on haret......usually works.. and also check your startup.txt to make sure it points to the root folder Android while using the bootloader.
Increase the SD card size to 8 GB
Try increasing your SD card size to 8 GB, I am using 8 GB and it works well.

startup.txt is just fine that is not an issue. I booted up the first time and it worked b ut then after a restart it tells me that userdata.img and system.img could not be found however they are where they should be at.
I have Energy.Leo.21911.Sense2.5.Cookie.Aug.06 rom and I have shubCRAFT_v1.3_1GB android. I do not have the android files in android folder because that didn't work either so I just put them in the main sd card directory.
Ok so anyway once it gives me that error it continues on with the long string of numbers and I think RAAC and it goes like it's going to boot up but it takes forever. Anyone have any clue?

Put it all in an 'Android' folder AND change the startup.txt 'set cmd' line?
worth a try.
failing that, format and start again.
as said, reformat your card and try again. Oddly enough that happened on my sons phone until I formated within windows which is suppose to be a no no for sd cards...but desperate times called for desperate measures.
by the way, this isnt a development post.
If you store your Android files in the root of your SD card (haret, zimage, etc), then sometimes Android makes a folder called Android on your SD card and then tries to boot from there.
If your keep your Android files in the root of your SD card, just delete that Android folder, it should only have like one data file in it that gets rewritten anyway. That should let you boot up fine.
Well it was the Tom and the way I extracted it on my SD card

Hi guys,
I've been trying out different android builds but after a while it won't boot in android anymore.
I run the CLRAD and HaReT, it show the command lines and then freezes on the HTC screen.
It is not the first time I'm launching it, everything is allways set up the way I like it and then I want to reboot a final time and it freezes. (first boot only takes 10 min.) Then I have to take out the battery to reset, but everytime after it freezes, tried waiting for +1 hour but no changes.
When I delete all the android files from my SD card and copy the original ones it restarts again and I have to setup everything again.
I tried new wm roms (Miri HD2 wm6.5.x) different radios (now 2.12.50.02.2),
the new HSPL3 but nothing seems to solve this.
edit: now I'm trying to use the mdeejay froyo HD v3.7 rom
I've searched the forum and other users seem to have the same problem, but no solutions have come forward. The people replying allways seem to think it is the first boot that takes 10 min. but it's not that. First boot works fine.
I would love to have a solution so I can start using android on a daily basis.
If you need more info, just ask.
I was having the same problem initially...very frustrating. Now i found the permanent solution for this problem. The problem on the second time or more on rebooting is depending how do you install the code in the root of SD card. Please follow the instruction carefully as each ROM (depending on which one you use) may require the files to store diffrently in the "root" of SD card. So read carefully after you unzip the code, where should you transfer the files in the SD card. Either under SD root or SD\Android (directory).Eg. I'm using FroyoStone_Sense V3.2 ; use 7-Zip File Manager program (can be download), then execute (click on the downloaded file : FroyoStone_Sense-V3.2.7z ) with the 7-Zip File Manager then you will get 2 directory 1. Android 2. Media and one readme.txt file. Copy the directory 1 and 2 in you root of your SD card. Then you run thru file manager, CLRCAD.exe follow by haret.exe . This the first setup. Let it run and setup your device. It will work and the second time you reboot, just run CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe as usual, your device will work perfectly..Good luck.
Hi, Just to add another note for you convenience if you are using different android build ef Mdeejay_Froyo_Sense_v.2.4.2_NextSense; when you extract the downloded file using 7-Zip File Manager, you will get 2 directories 1. AndroidApps and 2. Media with the rest of files including CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe .Copy and paste exactly the structure into your SD card. It will run beautifully and you will not have probelm on freesing on 2nd reboot even for the next reboot...hope it helps and try it out.thx.
I've the very same situation and Khairon i tried that method doesn't work...
Still same issue...
Any one can solve this?
cheers
Hi, use file using 7-Zip File Manager program to extract the downloaded zipfile. I've tried severals Android ROM builds and it works well on my HD2 after 2 weeks of trial and error on the freezing after the 2nd reboot. To increase your chance of success, reformat the SD card only then copy the files into the SD card.
Thx
all done, still same 2nd boot = freez
dont understand wots wrong
i am using the mjeedy's revolution build
is there any way to completely burn the android to HD2 like wince roms?
cheers
i was having exactly same problems as u, so i formatted my card with a card formatter, not through windows but used a card formatter, installed android agian and bingo it works, im using droidrom, radio 2.12, with the card format do full reset not quick this should work
full format is not working either
I also noticed that there is a file popping up on my SD card : EncFiltLog.menc
Searching around points to SD card encryption, but this is turned of in windows.
I checked with Miri, who made my windows rom and he said it's not set in the rom itself.
But this might explain everything, when I reboot the linux bootloader can't read the SD card because of the encryption.
Only thing now is to turn it off, but how can I do this when it is off in windows
I also had that file today on my "goldcard", the old 2GB SD-card shipped with my HD2. I tried the old card, because I can't start android (on 16GB sandisk) anymore.
Hi, I have the same problem.
Reboot freeze on 16GB Kingston.
Working fine on 2GB SD.
On both SD card is the same formating.
it doesn't seem to be related to the SD card i guess, I also tried my original 2GB card instead of my regular 16GB.
Both give me the same problems.
Hey anyone got a resolution to this??
my build works on my gb but not my 6gb card???
Hi.
I have installed ChuckyROM (gone through the HSPL process).
I have then downloaded several different android builds and the same thing happens when I follow the SDCARD instructions.
I load the files onto a 2GB SDCARD, Plug it into my device, restart the device, tap the CLRCAD.exe first then tap HaRet.exe
I loads into a black screen with some very small text in the top left corner, then this text slowly fades away and nothing happens.
Any ideas?
I've heard you need at least 1.5 gig of free space on your SD card to install android, so make sure you don't have other files on it.
Also, give it 15 minutes to let it do it's thing on first boot, a lot of stuff has to be created and initialized.
Being going for over 30 mins now, and I completely reformatted the SD card before I put the android files on it.
Try re-formatting your SD card within Windows and ensure it is formatted to 32kb clusters, this is one of the things that can cause an issue.
ps what radio are you using?
SORTED
Reformatted my SDcard and now its working.
Thanks.
Got Android with HTC Sense running - and it is awesome.
Hello,
sorry it there is already thread, in that case, pls give me the links..
SO, after using Android on HD2 for one month WITHOUT any problems.. today i got:
activity phone in process com.android.phone is not respondind
Also, after restart, on first call i got robot voice... second call i cant hear anything..
SO, WTF happened?
I did not install any aps, or uninstal... i just dont get it!
Thnx
Have you tried reinstalling the Rom to see if the problem is still there?
yes.. i deleted old android folder, and instaled it again, same thing.. my win mob 6.5 works fine..
Dont know what could happened..
When the message comes up, did you ever press wait? This happened me once and I just pressed wait and after about 1 - 2 minutes it comes on and works fine for the rest of the time I use it. If that doesn't help, then I guess you just have to install a new build.
ok, will try.
thnx
And it happened... also couple days ago it also hapened, but afret half hour everything was ok...
Every time (first, last, and now third) i:
- restarted android
- restarted launcher
- make couple calls with win mobile (aok there...)
- boot to win, make call, restart again boot win.. unmount sd, restart with sd in, and then booted android again
- pressed wait wher error popout
- turned sync and apn off
And this time, cant solve the problem....
Pls, wtf?! And I can't find topic here.....

SD builds for me have always ran great for some amount of time, then start messing up out of nowhere. What happens, as I understand it, is that blocks of memory in your sd card become corrupted after awhile of running Android from the card.
Best thing you can do to cope with this set of circumstances is:
1. Back up the contents of your sd card to your comp, and do a full format on the card before installing an SD build. This will reduce the frequency of corruption problems.
2. Once you get your build set up how you like it, back up your entire Android folder onto your comp. Do this once a week or so, and you can delete the old folders after each new backup to conserve space. Then if you encounter sd/data corruption again, you can backup and format your card, and drop your content and backed up Android folder back on it and be up and running again with minimal loss.
3. Forget Windows Mobile and sd builds and go NAND. It's more stable in the long term, and uses less battery because it isn't constantly reading from and writing to the sd card. Plus NAND is the manly thing to do, sd builds are for girlymen

do you use winmo,and which rom do you want to flash, and what steps do you make?
Yes, i am using a winmo, HTC HD2
i tried many roms, and i am talking about the ROM, not android.
and on each ROM i tried to load different Android, but it still
do not work.........stuck on a screen every time
Basically i use "energy rom", http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
and tried with American Android ((( this one worked on a first sd -card)))
steps from a beginning : i flash rom on my phone, after hard reset, i flash it from my PC. then i copy the "Android" folder on sd card of my phone, then with "file explorer" i enter the "android" file ((for example - AMERICAN ANDROID)) , i choose CLRCAD, (nothing happens) and then i choose the HARET and loading begins. after that just a screen with HTC logo, a black one. i waited for 20 min, and more - nothing changes. (( tried to reset and load again, same screen, no progress....))
i just have no idea what else to do....
been searching for solution for few days now.
some say that updating the rom helps, but done that.
When i were using winmo i were formatting my sd on such a case. If it doesn't work i was formatting winmo too.

ye....... the problem is that i done that all.........
just weird.

for example - AMERICAN ANDROID....i take it from your writing.you must put the folder Android to sd card not american android folder. i mean
sd card/android/clrcad then haret. not sd card/american android/android/clrcad
of course, i understand it.
i read manual for 100 times now, just to be sure i am doing things right.
i know the basics.
so lets see :
format to phone and sd card - checked
updated rom - checked
different sd card - checked
different rom with different android - checked
if i think about it know - phone is not working that's why i can't install android.
but - every rom is working good and android did worked once on a old sd card.
so have no idea what to do next.
at first i wanted to copy files from sd card where Android did worked, so there were file named "data.img" , couldn't copy it. don't know why.
so, in order for android to work on a phone now , it must create same file now. maybe card is somehow protected and doesn't allow phone to do it................. but i can copy all other stuff on it.
my knowledge and fantasy just ends here, but it kills me that such a simple thing doesn't work.
and if it doesn't work on an old card either, so can't figure out what causing this problem.
i can lastly say: download a new copy of american android.wipe everything from your sd.unrar american android in your pc.find the android folder.copy android folder to your sd via usb or card reader.clrcad then haret. the rom creates a new data.img in first boot.this rom may take half an hour to load. because i use it also. sorry if i'm unable to help
i had the same problem installing AmeriCanAndroid. it seemed like you did everything right from what i could tell anyway. i would try a different sd build to see if thats the problem.

what about you? did it help, switching sd card?
been trying now different Android, same thing.
@angel182
At the time i was a bit of a noob still am really but when i installed a new sd build i think it solved my problem. if i remember correctly i may have even tried a different winmo rom (omega) which may have helped as well. i really cant be to sure because its been some time now & my memory aint what it use to. lol.
I will say that if you ever want to go to a nand version and dont like it for what ever reason you can always switch back. I'm sorry I couldnt of been more help.
