[Q] HTC HD2 Android Boot Error (Black Screen)

Hello together,
i've got some problem with my htc hd2.
first a few facts:
my actual winmo rom is the cookie energy rom build 21916 (german)
my radio rom is 2.14.50.04
my hspl is 2.08 from cotulla
my android rom is mdeejay froyo v3.3 with hastarin 7.1
now the problem...
when i try to start android (first clrcad then haret) the boot loader shows a few lines. the last is "jumping to kernel"
then after a few seconds these lines vanish and there is black screen.
only way to reboot is to remove the battery.
i've got a 8gb san disk microsd...
before installing the winmo rom and android rom i erased my htc with task29 and formatted the microsd with fat32.
i also tried different winmo and android roms but theres always the same error...
plz help me
thanks

any suggestions?

I have the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I´m working on it for 2 weeks now!!!!!!!But i get no results!!!
I tested it with differet sd-cards, many ROM´s... no chance its everytime the same!!!!
Then i tested it on the HD2 from my brother! he has the same ROM, same Radio same HSPL...
and it works on evry of my SD Cards!!!!!!! WHYYY???
Please need Help!!!!!!!!!
PS: Wenn du das Problem gelöst hast bitte schreib mir!!!

boot error
Use the the chucky rom , I have no issues with this rom.

Does your windows mobile report 576MB memory in hardware information screen? Is it possible that you have a 320MB prototype/pre-release hd2s maybe? Normally all hd2s except pre-release models have 576MB physical ram. European models are capped at 448MB unless you update your radio and rom. But pre-release models will still have 320MB and unfortunately won't be able to boot android even if you edit android memory settings. (Cotulla says, even if you are able to run, it will be buggy and laggy)
Note: I am not talking about free memory. I am talking about the full memory reported in hardware information page in winmo.

My HD2 is from Vodafone and 3 month´s now. i hava a gotrip ROM (5.9) on it now with 546 RAM.
The older Android builds worked for a while!!!

same problem
HELLLLLP!!! I really want to try this out but it seems that my HD2 won't load it. i'm running energy rom and I've flashed android on this phone before. I've hard reseted my phone as well as reformated my SDcard but when every I go to launch harret, the linux screen pops up and the lettering (about two lines with no penguin logo) changes to a pinkish color and the next screen is a white screen with HTC on it. I don't know what to do. and now it seems I cant load any version of Android on it.

im having the problems as you people
but the thing with me is that, andriod use to boot but later on when i installed the stock rom and went back to the energy rom it just wont boot :'(

i got my andriod to work
this is how i did it ...
1) make sure you format your SD card using this software www(dot)sdcard(dot)org/consumers/formatter/sdfv2000(dot)zip and make sure its NOT a quick format
2) make sure your radio is around Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2
3) follow this guide www(dot)forum(dot)xda-developers(dot)com/showthread(dot)php?t=732380
(replace the "(dot)" with "." for the URL to work)
hope this help ( by the way i was writing this whilst booting my andriod and it works =) )

My HD2 has:
RAM size:448Mb
Flash size: 512Mb
Storage size:180,11Mb
And I have same problem.
Can't instal Mdeejay Android.
What to do? To give up?!?!

Should I change ROM & Radio? Now I have shiped rom.
Is this can change something?

I had the exact same problem. Been trying 1000s of ways to fix it but no help. Cant ever get android to load again. Im hoping the nand version build will work.

Fixed all today.
Must have compatibile radio + rom.
What loader to use if I want to use only android ?

alias_scg, what Radio + ROM did you use to fix it?
I've been having this problem over 3 weeks and I finally found the post with similar behavior with my HD2.
Now, I'll try 2.12.50.02_2 meanwhile for mdeejay.
I'd been using all suggested ROM and Radio from those chef's original posts, though.

I also got this weird problem... having stock rom/radio whatever.. just got the phone yesterday... but will try a other rom+radio etc. and see if that works
EDIT:
Ok guys i also got this fixed...
I upgraded my radio + rom and then it worked all fine!

HELP!
I am having the exact same problem as the rest of you's,
has anyone managed to find a fix.
My rom is still the official telstra rom, so maybe thats the problem ?

[Q] Boot Failure Black Screen Green HTC

Hi, this is my first post on this forum so first of all I would like to appolagise for all the things I've either just done wrong, or am about too....
I am trying to install android on to my phone, I am on the stock rom but have succsesfully installed HSPL3 and radio version 2.11.50.20.
I have tried a few builds of Android but allways have one of 2 results.
Once I've run clrcad followed by harlet, it tells me I'm booting to linux. The screen then goes black, it runs about 8 lines of code, stops there and changes to a black screen with a green HTC. Where it remains indefinatly.
A friend with anouther HD2 has android working fine on his device, and altho he has a custom rom he tells me its not essential, as ive read up on the potential risks I would rather stick with the stock but will change if thats whats causing the problem.
I would really appreciate some suggestions, thanks in advance for your time and help.
Peter

forgot to add, the second result is the screen going blue indefinatly, which I presume from my extensive knowledge.........lol is a blue screen of death

upgrade your radio, im on 2.12.50, and the newest is 2.15.50
also, try a modded windows mobile rom, i use standard energy with no issues.
also, make sure you only have that one android build on your SD card. and that it's a new build, not an ancient one. (check http://android.hd2roms.com/)
you shouldnt have any more issues.

Thanks for the advice, unfortunatly before seeing your post I uprgraded too chuckeys rom, not energy, but get the exact same error... Leads me to beleive the problem is elsewhere. Will keep trying tho hope its worth it.

Jai meme problme mon rom est miri hd2 v_18.0 wwe ? Radio 2.15.50.14 ?

Same problem here, tried to change my wm rom and didn't work. I'm looking tonight if I can find a solution...

A little disclaimer
I will not be for any damage that may be caused to your device, HSPL remove warranty so be carefull. Don't forget to have more than 50% of battery remaining before the process !
So, maybe here is the solution:
I've try again with differents roms, changing my wm rom etc. and nothing works.
But, at the end I've change my radio rom to Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Then installed Chucky GTX Lite rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618787
And to finish I've installed the bootloader and download MDJFroYoRevolution 1.4 with android 2.2
I've use the 512 Data img too (just unzip your MDJFroYoRevolution, take the 512 or 1Go file and put this file on your Android root.) isn't necessary but takes less time to work first time.
After that still not working so I managed to try to remove all files from my sd card (2Go only) and I put on ONLY MDJFroYoRevolution 1.4+512Mo Data img !
Then after 10mn~ it works !
I think the bug is only because sd card haven't enough space to create all files so the HTC logo stuck and no error message appear.
Don't forget to install the bootloader on your memory internal storage! and not the on the sd card!
Good luck everyone and I hope it will help.
ps: sorry for my english hope you understand anything

Having the same problem here. I've tried different versions of WM, different Android builds, updated the latest radio rom, all without success.
Strange thing is though that Android boots the first few times, but after resetting it more than about three times it gets stuck on the black screen with the HTC letters in the middle. The only way to get it running again is reformatting my SD card (8G). Only thing on it is the Mdeejay Froyo Sense v2.3 Clean...

Solution for the freeze screen after second boot
I put android not in the root directory but in a \Android directory on the SD CARD.
of course, I add set cmdline "rel_path=Android" in the Startup.txt file and now i can reboot my phone when i want.

Always use the custom winmo Rom sugested by the Android Builder. Simple as. The myth of "Stock ROM will be sufficient" should end

Not true. I've installed on a couple of peoples HD2's using the latest stock WWE rom with radio 2.15. It does work, and it works very well.
I'm not saying you shouldn't use custom roms, that is everyone's prerogative (as you can see from my sig I use VBN's rom and it's perfect for me).

Try to move a folder called Android from sd card to another folder or delete it and it should help. It worked in my case. Good luck!

has someone hear find an answer?

given up
I have tried many combos and radios and still stucked at green htc loading logo now i am just hoping for nand. strange thing its the volume down and end does not bring bootloader anymore.

[Q] Cant boot android.

hi there, my hd2 has spl 3.03, radio 2.15 and ROM 3.14. from doing a bit of research on the forums I've found that i can run Android roms without needing to flash. however after trying a few different roms they all seem to freeze on the white htc screen even after leaving them go boot for around 30 mins. can anybody please help me with this issue?
appreciate any help given.

Bump.
Does anybody please have any ideas? I bought the HD2 because I thought I could run android on it...

I've tried multiple ROM and android build combinations and the only one I can get to boot up is from the minimum "energy" package. I've formatted the SD card in each case, and still no luck. I;m new at this whole process so I'm sure I'm screwing something up

Hello!! Me too, i have the same problems : Artemis v44, Rom 3.14, radio 2.15.50.14. and i have 8gb sd card. I tryed different android rom, but it's the same problems.
I continue to try....
Sorry for my bad english.

read the other threads with the same topic on the 1st couple pages...
basicly the proven way to fix it is to format the sdcard to get rid of ghosts that are left over from old data.

Does that mean a full format or Quick format? Ive try quick multiple times. And what first couple of pages are you refering/ Thanks for the response!

full format actualy wipes it, all quick does is removes file names.

you da man! Im doing a 16g......its taking a long time.....is that normal?

Well.....that didnt work. Full format on a 16g SD. Still locks up on HTC screen. Any ideas. Gonna try new SD card tomorrow.

I have the same result, use a new 8g card, android build MCCM_SE_V3.3_FroyoStone_Sense. On my first boot OK. I need to change battery and sim often. switch off and next boot stay on HTC screen forever... Found some solution saying that you must run the two "exe" within 15 sec. after boot into WM, but still doesn't work... help help

Same problem here.
Tried all the steps.
Installed HSPL2
Upgraded radio to: 2.12.50.02
Fully formatted my sd card
Tried several builds (FRG83.MCCM_IR_1.7 & desire hd2)
But it keeps on freezin at the HTC screen when booting.
Any help would be very much appreciated since I'm very much out of guesses.

have you tried deleting cmd line?

Same Problem...
Rom 3.14.407.2
SPL 3.03
Radio: 2.15.50.14

I can give you a copy of my modded system.ext2 based on mdj 1.7, maybe it will work for you. Maybe we can do it through IM. Just PM me.
By the way, what is your location and carrier? I cant see info, am using phone.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App

Ive formatted multiple times and have ran different Android ROMs. NOTHING. Only thing that works is the basic one provided by ENERGY. (Thanks by the way). Not that this is a bad ROM, Im just trying to learn about this stuff and its frustrating. I'm sure there is more guidance within the threads, but thats like pretty difficult if you dont know where to look

adb logcat
post it, then we can troubleshoot.
dont know how to do that? search. theres atleast 10 stickies in the forums on adb for dummies.
also, i get kinda tired of folks begging for help that cant even do simple stuff like fill out location, sig line etc... come on throw us a bone.

I know you said that you did all the steps, but did you format the SD card? As well, did you create an "Android" folder or did you just copy over the build to the root of your card?
What are your stats, for better help.
And, lastly, did you search your builds thread for problems?

I too am having this exact same problem.
Actually I had android working fine on my phone for about a month.
When I tried to load another ROM, I could not get it to load anymore.
I followed all the steps, I also reformatted my card and copied the file over to the root of my card.
Now when I try to load the original Android ROM that I had going on my phone that will not will load either. When I click the HaRet.exe it goes to the hTC screen and just freezes there and does not progress, I have waited over an hour and no changes occur.
I have the VBNROM with Radio 2.15.50.14
I have tried 5 or 6 different Android ROM's and all give the exact same result.
I searched the build threads for some of these but could not find anyone with a similar problem.
When it was working, I had ChuckyROM with Radio 2.12.xx.xx
And I tried with this also, and now am having a similar problem
If anyone has a solution to this, it would be greatly appreciated.

How are you installing the Build? Through USB or through directly inserting the card into pc?

Directly inserting card into pc

Did you do a full format of your SD-card, or just a quick format? If these kind of issues occur, I'd advise you to do a full format, for example with SDFormatter. If the issue persists, do a task29, flash your ROM and Radio again and start over.
Sincerely,
Mac

Task29 means formatting the internal filesystem when you install a different WM ROM. It prevents leaving traces from a previous ROM when switching. What ROM and radio are you using?

Then you should already be familiar with Task29 . Did you use it prior to flashing Chucky? If your troubles persist, I advise you to start over by reading this thread and then flash a compatible ROM and Radio of your choice. Make sure you re-format your SD-card as described in my previous post.
Let us know if you run into trouble...

[Q] Newly registered newbie

I have a HD2 that I plan on installing Android on (currently WinMo 6.5), as it's cheaper, I hope, than buying a new phone. I have a step by step guide to follow, along with all the files I need, like HSPL3, MGLDR, and CWM, etc. All I need now is the ROM build. My confusion lies in the fact that the ones I look at seem to be for US T-Mobile HD2's, and mine is an unbranded UK model. I also keep seeing references to LEO512 or LEO1024? I'm pretty sure what I want is on here, but the sheer number of threads/posts will take me forever to work through! Can some kind soul point me in the right direction and I'll take it from there? Thanks.

With the ported android roms you havent to fear to destroy your device flashing a wrong rom.
This issue is only related to wm 6.5 roms/radios.
...you only have to decide if you want to throw wm6.5 away and use a nand build or keep wm6.5 and use a sd build.

Experience
From experience I'd recommend Typhoon rom

Ok. Just watched a video of the HyperDroid install, looks pretty straight forward. But it doesn't have the Sense UI, which I like. CyanogenMod 7 doesn't appear to have it either? (I also don't see the link to the download for CM7 either, but I'm guessing I'm stupid or blind?)

you want any rom that supports the eu leo with 512 in the title

Hey,
1st of all welcome, 2nd - be prepared... android can be very addictive.
As for your questions, LEO512 = European with 512mb rom (which you have) & LEO1024 = tmoUS with 1024mb rom.
If you prefer sense based roms you wont really go wrong with any build from Rafpina, imilka, Sergio76 or cmylxgo. Tho ive found RAFDROID HD builds are very stable & fast, also very straight forward to setup (tho there is NO Best rom id say this is a good starting point)

Yup 2nd that !
Rafdroid is still my favorite everyday build because of the sense widgets which show my emails, news etc on the 'desktop'.
Just about everything works in that build and is a perfect step from WM to Android.
First I would have a go with Android on the SD-card as it also works like it should and should be extreemly simple if you have a correct radio (ver 2,08 and above I thought). Should be easy to check in the software version tab all the way on the right hand side I believe.
After playing with it you can still decide if you want to go natively Android or not.
There are backup tools like Titanium pro which are worth the money.
I betcha will also enjoy the Android market!
And .... welcome to the group!

Thanks for the welcome.
I've decided I'll wipe and install to the Nand memory, I already have a Hero and love Android and the way I can customise it. Will try the process tonight.

Ok. Been at this for a while now, but I'm stumped.
Step one was install HSPL3. Went without a hiccup, no problems.
Step 2 was to install the radio. Chose EUradio (radio leo 5.15.50.14). However, I've tried half a dozen times, Windows says I am connected and I get to the HTC screen with a progress bar but then after 2-3 mins, I get an error message saying there is no communication.
Have tried:
1. different usb ports
2. loading into bootloader screen (coloured bars). Initially it says serial but then switches to USB after a short while. Tried from there, no luck.
3. rebooted the pc, and phone multiple times.
I did a search on the forum for 'no USB communication' but I get different threads bouncing about, none getting the same as me. Any ideas welcomed.

Thanks for the welcome.
I've decided I'll wipe and install to the Nand memory, I already have a Hero and love Android and the way I can customise it. Will try the process tonight.

If you want to use ROM Manager with hour HD2 you will have to use cLK for your custom Android bootloader and not MAGLDR. Go and check out the "ROM Manager Now Supports HD2" thread and you can get more info on it there, it os a short bit accurate tutorial post on page two of the thread, it is only three pages right now anyway so not a lot of reading to do.

Do you have the latest version of ActiveSync or WMDC, depending on what Windows your computer uses, installed on your computer? You need the most upcto sate versions of these to flash straight through bootloader.

Thanks, but I've not even reached that part yet. The tutorial I'm following is:
1/ Install HSPL3
2/ Install radio
3/ Install MGLDR
4/ Install CWM
5/ Install Android
I'm currently stuck on step 2.

Yes. I'm running Win7 x64, everything is up to date. I did read you are supposed to turn off any antivirus? I'm using M$ Security Essentials. Would this affect it?

Hi,
You should be using :
radio version 2.15.50.14,which you can get here:
http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
"Initially it says serial but then switches to USB after a short while."
When it changes to USB ,that is the time to start flashing the radio.

Forgot to ask earlier, should I be removing the sim card while doing this? I've been putting in a spare one so I don't affect my 'real' one.

It should not make any difference.
I never take mine out when I change ROMS etc.

My apologies. It was a typo error earlier. I have been trying 2.15.50.14, it failed so I tried 2.08.50.05 + task29. Neither worked. Just downloaded from the link you posted, in case my file was corrupt, exactly the same, comms error (Error 262).

Let's start again.

2.Try to find HSPL4 and install
3.radio 2.15.50.14
4.MGLDR
See if that works...

No. Still wont work. Will not run task29, get the same 'Error 262'..
As it was bought sim free, could there be something on it blocking the software? Or on my pc?
