Did you format, within phone, to FAT32? It looks as though you have experience with builds so I'm sure that you are installing the Android folder on the root of the SD card...make sure that you don't create a folder and then add the build folder to the root folder; it creates a sub and that causes problems.

It might be as simple as the "Serioux" card isn't supported; the only other thing that I know off the top of my head is at the bottom of my thread; I had found a link to the formatting issue and that's where I came up with the idea of formatting within WinMo.

I know that it does take some builds to load as it creates the data.img, especially a larger one; if you opted for the 1gb for instance.
You are using the same build as the other card? And, you loaded the file the same way? Did you do it through USB connect?
Let's see if we can't get this goin'!

I think it might be the card. I know that I've seen class 2 and 4 around working; your "Serioux" card is the only one that I can find, as far as brand, and nothing about it working or not working on HD2, maybe return it and get another brand?
It's definately the card. I bought a wintec class 10 16gb and android wont run hardley at all on it, went and bought a 16gb sandisk class 2 at radioshack and android runs flawless on it. The shame is that the sandisk class 2 tests at class 10 speeds. They have it on Newegg for $34, Get model # SDSDQ-016G-A11M. There are two versions on newegg so make sure you order the right one. You won't be disappointed.
thank u all for support. i will try to get another brand. in this time maybe android will boot from nand
Have you tried formatting your SD card with WinMo? This helped someone a couple of months ago, it's got something to do with a partition index file.

So I transfers the android folder to it used it n all was good then I wanted to back up all of my winmo files so i remove the SD card from my phone n place it in my card reader..n said to reformat the card..I HAVE NO ACCESS TO MY SD CARD.. I can't even format it some how it got protected...even my phone days to formatted but is never successful...ANY ADVISE THANK YOU

ive got a sd problem too. i ever used the same 16gb class2 microsd card tu run android builds and store winmo and android data. last night ive tried to switch from darkstone to matcc android build. i reformatted the sd card, put the files on it (only android folder nothing else) and started android. everything was fine but i´ve got a bsod(radio 2.12.50_2 and german stock vodafone rom). then ive tried another android build but i got the same error(doesnt ever got bsod before). later android didn start at all(every build). then ive tried chuckys rom with matcc vers. 1.5 and ive got the bsod problem again. tried 2 other builds and now andriod doesnt start and i cant even connect my hd2 to my pc(bootloader doesnt connect too) but chucky rom boots correctly. everytime ive tried another build i reformatted my sd card to fat32. hope someone can help me, sorry for bad english.
i got this problem now too. android somehow writeprotected my sd card so i can't put files on or take files off anymore...it's basicallly made my 16gb card useless. can't format or anything. tried through windows mobile, pc, and android...nothing works. anybody know how to fix it?
Same thing happened to me. My class 2 16gb card is now locked and ive found no way to unlock it.
Not that I really liked that card anyway, but it was nice to have so much storage space.
thats no problem. On your adapter for your micro sd card, there is a lock on the side of it. Make sure that it is in the up position. Basically in the unlock position, then it wont be write protected.
No, your not understanding. Its not the physical lock on the adaptor, its a logical lock on the Micro SD itself.
The Micro SD card comes up as locked no matter what I use to try and format, or delete etc.
I've googled like mad trying to find a way to fix it even installing Ubuntu to see if another OS could do it, but everything fails.
Same here I came to a conclusion. That there are some files in the SD card....what was the last buid u were using before this happened...the best solution. For this should be with an android. Phone and astro file management explore the SD card...unlucky. me none of my friends have an android device

ok..
whats wrong with just formating the card with ' GPARTED ' .. assumption of Linux usage !
or if you use that sloppy old microsoft O/S then use 'paragon partition manager '
job done yea?

CMD finished and said that the disk was unreadable after finishing 99%.
Ok
Sounds like corrupted sectors or damaged disk to me
Put the card into a windows pc and run scandisk on the card, make sure you check : fix errors automatically and scan for bad sectors
I have 16 GB SD card (scan disk) and after I formatted (with card reader on windows XP) the card to FAT32, I run android successfully.
After reboot I started WM (Energy ROM) and when I try to run android again it stuck on boot screen (white screen with HTC in green).
I need to reformat the card again, copy the android folder again and then to run android again.
Is there a possibility to switch between Android & WM without formatting the card every time?
baby jesus doesn't love you anymore
At first, you posted in the wrong topic. This thread should be in Android General Section.
Second, try to format your card two or three times with this tool:
World Formatter
And read this:
Manual
Cheers
i'm joking i have no idea why that's happenning
I'm not sure why your having that problem, maybe cards can get worn after formatting so many times? Not sure, but I haven't formatted my card in over a month and have had WAY less problems than when I use to format it a few times a week.
I have 8gb card, but i never need format, just im copy Android folder to sd, and run Android.
i suggestion, you try another sd card, may be your card have a little problem.
but whatever is your problem is I love the "Baby Jesus" part .. LoL
now to topic -- as said earlier .. try with some other card u have... ur card may be faulty

And as said, I was also a "format-junkie" but I think it's better to just leave the card as it is. Mine works fine now, I haven't formatted since a month.
i had massive problems on my 16gb card but it all cleared up when i formatted using the format tool under windows mobile on the cell phone. i dont think it matters but im using miri's rom. if you want to know the exact verison of what rom im using let me know.
each time i copy the android on the SD card and i sync it and works great on its first boot, as soon as shut it down then open it through bootloader, it stops at te HTC page of the android, and never starts up the system !
any solution for that,
i have already tried formating the SD card
i have a energy rom GTX
radio 2.15.50.42
and used Mdjeey

I've had the same problem with the latest roms released this week, so I'm assuming it MIGHT have to do with th kernel that they have in common). When it gets stuck on 2nd boot, I simply pull out battery and try again. From then on I don't have this problem anymore each time I boot using clrcad and haret. I'm not bothered to change kernel and the latest seems to be best, thanks to the dev's hard work.

Are you using one of those Class 6 or Class 4 MicroSDHC cards?
If so, replace it with a Class 2 Sandisk or a Class 2 Kingston MicroSDHC card.
In order to achieve Class 6 or higher standards for MicroSDHC cards, some manufacturers uses tweaking, which saves cost in making a "real" class 6 media card. These tweaks causes different problems in different devices. Tweaks may include increasing sequential read speed, but will cause random reads/writes to not be stable.
Which is probably a reason why Microsoft Phone 7 won't allow you to use your own MicroSDHC except the one they approve, and they are still working on the list.

You can also try the following:
1. Download the Android build once again
2. Backup your SD card to your desktop PC
3. Delete the Android folder from the backup just made
4. Reformat your SD card
5. Restore your backup to the SD card
6. Extract your Android build to the SD card
7. Boot Android
had the same Problems with the older kernel and the newest radio..using mdeejay, too.
I changed the radio to 2.12.50.02_2 and set up the newest hastarin kernel together with the titanium Energy Rom and now it works out perfektly
@ OP, this should be in the general section.
I had same problem before. Try to run a check disk thru windows under the removable drive tools. Also have it check for bad sectors.

Everytime.. I format my sd, download a build, extraxt to desktop, mount to root of sd, run clrcad and haret, And all i get is a 'jumping to kernal (custom) and freezes or just a frozen htc screen.or a boot loop.. I am running a energy rom for windows someone plz help
Ok by 'mount to root of sd', do you mean that you're putting the Android folder at the root of your sd, or you are taking everything that's inside the Android folder to the root of your sd?
The folder itsself goes to the root of your sd card, with all the files such as zImage, Haret, etc. inside of it.
Other than that, are you using a launcher like Exceller's or anything, or are you launching by tapping CLRCAD and Haret in your file explorer?
Try it from file explorer til you get the build up and running a good couple of times.
Is your radio a XXX.XX.50.XXX radio, or is it a XXX.XX.51 ?
You need a 50. (2.08 and up) To check, boot your phone up and look at the little red info down in the corner as it boots up. The radio is next to the 'R'
If you already have all these things correct, I would say to try a new sd card.
Hope this helps, good luck
You have to flash a working radio version first

My problem is once the ROM boots up, as soon as it says "Preparing SD Card", my phone freezes. The only thing I can think of is that I have an incompatible SD card. I am currently using the one that came with my phone which is a class 2 16gb SanDisk. What would you guys recommend that I use?
Use a program called SDFormatter (from Panasonic) .. format it.
Then use windows format utility to give it a slow format 4096 cluster FAT32
Works great for me on "broken" cards.
He's right. The stock card should work.

A class 2 Sandisk should be fine unless it's defective. Maybe you have build setup wrong... have you tried a different build? Try that and see if it works. Are you trying to dualboot or anything like that? Or load the build with magldr?

If you are using magldr, you need a build compatible with magldr or edit the init.rc file in the build to make it work with magldr. Look at the thread in my signature... post 2 has some builds that I edited to work with magldr. I'll be adding more soon.
Alright, well I've formatted my sd card and now it's worse then before. It just stays stuck at the MAGDLR screen and doesn't boot up at all. As far as I know the build is compatible with MAGDLR so I'm not sure what the problem is.
