Can anyone tell me what the Data.img files are for? nearly every version of android i download comes with a 512 Data and 1024 data but I don't know what they are for and I cant get android to run on my HD2
Thanks in advance
The file data.img is basically where the Android system lives. It's similar to internal storage on a WinMo phone.
If you're having problems running Android, why not give us more information. Most importantly, which radio does your device have?

Okay thanks,
I have tried about 4 diffrent android versions, most of them are stuck at the "jumpin to kernel (custom)" bit, the furthest I got was it was loading but then the writing just faded away and I had to take out my battery,
My radio is 2.07.51.22_2
Your radio isn't suitable for Android. There's a sticky thread about installing Android. I suggest you start there.

Thanks but could you please give me a link?
I cant seem to find it
Thanks!

If you want a large DATA.IMG use .IMG Maker, there is a link in my signature.

Any advice?

If there's a file called data.img included in the build then there may be a problem. If there isn't then it creates one when you first boot. Depending on the Android build, the size of the data.img and your SD card, this can take anything up to half an hour (I've read some people report longer). Sometimes it can be 5 minutes though.
If you got to the HTC logo and stopped the process then it may have started to create data.img, but then stopped when you powered down the phone. If that's the case then delete it and start Android over again. This time leave it for longer and come back if it still doesn't work.

I don't know how darkstone's name got into this thread, but football made it clear that you should not flash the ace build to your hd2. just re-flash the stock rom and your phone should be fine. hope this helps
The 4th line of his post said:
THIS ROM ONLY FOR COOKERS DO NOT TRY TO FLASH ON DEVICE!
I am not a dev .. let's hope they can help you. But it has been said endless number of times - first read, then read again, then several times more until every word is clear to you ... then try to flash ... on your own risk. Always.
ima take a guess and say you flashed a beta rom FOR the Desire HD on your HD2...incompatible ROM. your phone is bricked for good.
Learn to f**king read man. Im a newb and read that.
maybe not bricked for good, he shouuld be able to flash a ruu for his phone containing winmo and be good to go again, but who knows
I think he flashed a beta ROM darkstone made. It was just like any other Android build, made to launch from the sdcard. What happened exactly? You flashed it and it booted fine then just died?
yea who knows, it's nebulous. - Michael Scott
Take your battery and microsd card out and leave it for a few hours. Then plug in the battery but LEAVE THE SD CARD OUT and try booting up your phone into Windows.
Also how did you put those files on your phone since they are for the Storage Card. Did you try to copy them to your internal memory in some way?
You REALLY shouldnt try test versions unless you know what you are doing which im very sure you didnt..
Mark.
Wait... what?
OK, so you managed to get a hold of the files that I'm sharing with devs, and you somehow flash those files on to your phone (how is that even possible) ?
You must of flashed your phone using the EXE file on the first post of this thread right? If you did, then you should have not been so careless. Clearly on the first post it states that this is for developers only, this was not to be flashed.
Do not blame my files for something that you have done. Those files were not intended to be spread on this forum, however I have no problem if people do wish to post about it.
Time for you to call HTC and see if you can get a replacement...
he didnt release to the public for a reason I knew somebody was going to download it lmao

wait yea you're right. it's not a "flushable" ROM..i just downloaded the file and it's just another Android build that you put on the SD card. Not sure what the OP "flushed" but yeah, taking the SD card out and restarting the phone should do the trick. Am I missing something? Can you actually brick your phone booting android from Haret?

There is always a slight chance of messing Windows Mobile up but as long as you have HardSPL installed you can easily flash a new rom and get everything working again so nothing much to worry about.

This isn't my post but I have very same problem and thought i'd bring it to this thread see if anyone happens to have same issue or has solution?
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.

What builds have you tried? What memory card are you using (class and size)?Did you format your memory card to FAT32? You could also try deleting app data folder on your storage card, as each time you use a build a bit of it may be left in this folder( it does no harm and will re-create itself straight after). Have you tried any android boot loaders e.g MSKIP android loader v5. No-one else had replied so thought id try and share what little knowledge i have. If you have been asked all this 20 times over, Sorry!
I am using 8gb mem card came with htc Fat32 (formated it using win and htc both)
Win build is dutty's com2 3.14 latest rom
Mdeejay 2.3 Revolution android version.
had jmz's bootloder
Tried everything u said nothing happened...
Trying now MSKIP's boot loader, with fresh installation lets see...
Ur effort time and help is always appreciated thanks Funkdat
maybe because OS's weren't designed to run on a SD card??? Sell your hd2 and get a galaxy s phone.
I feel your pain. Very very frustrating and you feel you have tried everything. Time consuming too.
What bothers me a bit with those builds is that they load up the HTC logo so actually don't see what is happening during bootup. I wonder if you couldn't bypass that?
that wud have been big help if i could see what is actually happening but the Big HTC Logo screen is hiding everything and i am just sick of it.
Well if i could only burn the ROM into HD2 that would have been much better so wouldn't have to worry about anything i have to format my storage card every time or either delete everything on the sd card to make it work duno which file is it causing this error but i hope some one will come up with solution...
CHeers
still the same tried everything...
Hi there,
You do understand that the HD2 was not made nor meant to run Android and that all the Android ROM's are third party ones and unofficial ?
You did not say whether or not you tried to install on the internal memory and not the card ?
Bye,
Itamar

Oh the contradiction. You say that, yet you use it too
"Android Playground: HyperDroid 1.6"
You gonna sell your HD2? (now for the crickets )
This might seem stupid, but have you tried deleting the Android folder from your SD card? Or modify this line in startup.txt:
set cmdline "rel_path=Android"
to
set cmdline "rel_path=/"
The problem might be that because of rel_path, it's looking for your android ROM in the "Android" folder. And some applications create that folder (Google goggle for example) to save information. I had an issue quite similar to yours. Now editing startup.txt is the first thing I do in a build. I currently have 5 different builds, one for every day of the week! haha.
Hope this helps!

Well that's true. Android isn't really that stable enough to run often - especially when I see that it sucks down 500mA of power. That leads to 2 hours of battery.
(speaking of separate SD cards, I still have to send my faulty 16GB back to HTC )
So I've tried to install android build. I had stock rom 3.14.479.2 and I've tried to install HD2Froyo_V3. I've followed the instruction and after running haret few lines of text showed and than nothing, htc display appeared and stayed that way until I've removed the battery. Then I've read that I have to flash a coked Rom in order to install build for android so I downgraded it to 1.48 so I can install HSPL (not sure that it was necessary). I've flashed Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.Nov.02 with Radio_2_12_50_02_2 and copied Android folder again, same result. After flashing between stock Rom and Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.Nov.02 million of times I'm out of options. The same problem I had with FroyoStone_Sense_V3.2 too. It seemed so easy when I saw it on youtube and I can not believe that I had so bad luck. What I've done wrong? What should I do?
Anyone help?
One word: wait!
the kernel usually creates a 1GB storage for android. This will need some minutes (can take up to 10 minutes on class 2)
Some words for ROMs. Nearly all ROMs will work (the 2.14 ROMs don't) as long as you have a new radio. use 2.10 or higher. some have robo voice problems when calling. if you experience robo try another Radio.
(you should post questions like that in android development discussion. this subforum is for development only)
The folder-name of your rom, what is it and did you change it? You have to change a value in startup.txt aswell if it is different from 'Android'.
Ultimaex is right. Creating a 1gb storage for android will take some time, be patient. I have a 2gb storage which took about 20 minutes from start to finish.
fyi, my setup is tmous stock rom 3.14 and tytung's NexusHD2-FRG83 Froyo 2.2.1 build.

Ive had this happen to me when I was switching builds. I deleted everything on my sd card that was related to android. Usually, the folders that android makes on your sd card are all lowercase letters. The folders are start with a capital letter are Windows Mobile specific folders. So delete all those folders, dont forget to show hidden files just to make sure you get all the folders. Afterwards, with whatever build you plan on using, its probably best to re-download that build just to make sure no files were edited and copy them to your sd card.
Basically just start with a clean slate and you should be good to go.
i had the same problem just reformat ure memory card on ure htc hd2
I formated the sd every time I tried. It's not that
Same
I got the same problem I have tried everything waited more dan 20 minutes. Formatted 25 times. Iam searching all forums to find something
Ok, I have mentioned this a couple of times and it seems to fix this issue, format the SD card within windows (a full format not a quick one) and ensure that you format it to clusters that are 32kb.
Also what radio are you both using?
I use 2.15.50.14 now, bit tried with every radio over 2.8

And what I wanted to say, I think mattc 1.8 is one of the best Sense builds out there.. Works so damm' smooth. Old but gold
Yes I agree. I've tried several after this one and got back on mattc...There are few problems but I hope that will be fixed in other versions....

You mean you got all kinds of distorted graphics all over the screen. Black and white stripes kind of thing? If so, that's because you probably replaced zImage but didn't replace initrd.gz. Regardless, if you leave it on the screwed up black/white screen, it should load within 10-15 min.
Hello, guys.
I want back to stock because of service reasons. I have cyanogenmod 3.7.0, android version 2.3.6
Now I downloaded the file (6.5 update) from HTC sites, and I'm curious about few things. The file contain 210 mb or so, and on my HTC I have 199 mb left on the internal memory - could this occure any problems regarding the install?
Also, I downloaded Minitool partition wizzard program to delete all partitions on my SD card and return back to FAT32.
Is this a hard task? Please, I really need help!!
Also after all this has been done, should I turn off the phone, hold volume down button and power on and get into boot mode, plug in USB, wait for USB-recognision, and then just run the file I downloaded from HTC?
Please help!!

I would guess those steps are fine, and how would your internal storage have any effect on flashing a new ROM which overwrites it anyway? But yeah, you should be good to go now.

Oh yeah? Do you have the t-mobile version of htc HD2?
And by NAND, you mean other roms probably.
Could perhaps give it a try, but I think my phone has a motherboard problem, as it overheats very fast.
Haven't you had any problems with MIUI? which miui do u use?
After several days struggle, I'm burned out. Some of the threads here have 100+ pages, and searches yield too much outdated, irrelevant info. So, I'm asking for some direction (as simple as possible, please).
I'm trying to set up my unlocked HD2 (originally T-Mo, but unlocked and using AT&T) for dual-boot, WM6.5 and Android. As you know, the choices for android rom are mind-boggling. I don't need anything fancy, just something up-to-date and stable. I would like, however, something LOUD.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Using despy1989's March 2010 guide (four years old already!), I have my HD2 booting up asking to choose Android or WM. If I choose Android, it does nothing, and defaults to WM.
I have SUNDAWG-CM7-NATIVESD rom loaded (or I think I do) in the android directory of the SD card. I'm not sure this one will meet my LOUD requirement, but since it won't load, I can't tell.
If I tap the new Android icon, it does nothing. If I tap the Android SoftReset icon, it resets but does not load Android, goes to WinMo.
If I go to File Explorer, and run haret, I get the message "failed to load file \storagecard\android\sdcard\nativesd\zimage"
What do I do next?
ANY help is much appreciated.
How did you installed Android as NativeSD? Did you made a partition on your SD in EXT4 which is needed for installing the Rom? Why you want keep WM 6.5 anyway?

AFAIK, yes it is installed as NativeSD, Did not make a partition (there was conflicting advice as to whether it was necessary. I'm not ready to go "all in" and reformat my old SD card yet.)
Want to keep WM6.5 since it is the only one that works the way I need. I've been playing with a Sony X10a with Android 1.6 and am frustrated. I specifically need LOUDNESS and customizable ringtones and notifications, and relatively easy syncing with my PC.
Thanks for your reply and any further advice.
If you do not make a partition EXT4 it will never be installed so you just messing around that is why is not working. From WM6.5 can be run only SD Android version or there is another way, much longer but it's the way how it have to be.
Install MAGLRD and Recovery, probably this will wipe the phone, make the partition on SD to Install NativeSD, Install the Rom as Native SD. Then flash back the Stock WM6.5, this will wipe MAGLRD and Recovery. Now start again Android from the folder created from the installation. It should boot.

I did this 100 times and HD2 is not that easy to brick, I never heard about bricked HD2 before. Then if you don't want to do it you will never have NativeSD on your phone because the NativeSD have to be installed on EXT4 partition, there is no other way. The only Android which you can use is from this section HERE. Put it on SD with other stuff and run with the application from WM6.5. First boot is very long.

Sorry. As a NOOB, what you've suggested is Greek to me and far too complicated.
I can't risking wiping the phone and bricking it.

No, wipe (task29) won't even touch SPL parts.
So, unless you're super duper unlucky using wipe command, you won't bricking your device.
I don't know if you're already flash HSPL.
I suggest you to flash HSPL first, then the rest is up to you..

If you really can't do this I can assist you via Team Viewer, I will tell you what to do and what to download. Before that I have to see your bootloader. Send me a PM to arrange an appointament. I don't know nobody in USA at the moment or I don't know they are.

So, I'm asking for some direction (as simple as possible, please).
I'm trying to set up my unlocked HD2 (originally T-Mo, but unlocked and using AT&T) for dual-boot, WM6.5 and Android.
What do I do next?
ANY help is much appreciated.

Been trying to follow your steps, but when I get to "Native SD Install Recovery", the links are broken. (this is the very kind of frustrations I'm having - there does not appear to be one single step-by-step guide without numerous links to invalid or outdated sites. I don't need advertising either.)
I can't find the 4EXT partition (in W8.1) in order to install anything.
So, now what?
