OK, here is my problem.
UK HD2 -> Generic running 1.66 stock, with HSPL 2.08, and Radio 2.12.50.02.
I have been running many of the different Android builds on my phone since the first one came out with no problems, until now...
My phone will not run any of the new ones at all. They give the instruction to leave on first boot to create the data store, takes about 5-10min. I have left my phone for hours with a faded black screen, with a few lines on it, but it never gets any further than that.
Have tried:
Mattc Leo + Froyo 1.5*, 1.6*, 1.7 and 1.8
Mattc Evo 1.0.1
Mattc NexusLeo 1.1
Mdeejay Froyo Sense 2.2
Mdeejay eVo 1.0
FroyoStone Sense 1* and 2
Darksotne HD2Froyo 2.1*
Darkstone DesireROM 2*, 3*, 4* and 5*
*= ones that have worked
It seems to me that something has changed with all the newer ROMS that are stopping them from working for me. I have format my SD every time i try a new ROM and have even hard reset my WinMo to see if that the problem -> Nothing works!
As Marvin would say: "I just want you to know, i am feeling very depressed today"
Help please

show us your step by step procedure in running android, so people when they see it may know at which point you may be making an error.
also, after reading this
post, I came to the conclusion that indeed many left
over junks in winmo are messing up the process of Android running, so I took it to mean that we have to do a Task 29 every time we try a build.
make sure the android build is in a folder marked android the older roms went on the root of the sd! another thing is when haret boots see if the writing says failer to mount sd and get back to me or pm me well figure it out!!
Definitely task29 that sucker. Also consider a "meant for android" WM rom like chuckydroid. Radio 2.14 is now available if you want to try something else.

Yeah, I was going to suggest task 29 and then reinstall a different WM Rom.
I am using the 2.14 radio with great results.....
Good Luck.
try new sd card
I can understand your frustration, If the task 29 alone does not help, I would get a new sd card, I have read its best to long format card, task 29 phone, install your windows rom of choice( I like chuckys android), then install android. good luck
Steps taken so far
Ok, first off, Thank you all for your responses!!!!
Was expecting to get flamed, as i had searched the forums and could not find anything myself but expected there to be something somewhere, that somebody knew about.
With the older ROMS that are stored on the root of SD, i formatted the SD and copied the data over using SD adaptor in my MacBook Pro's SD slot -> Worked like a charm!!
With the newer ones, that have worked anyway the procedure was the same, format SD and copy Android folder over from Mac -> again worked like a champ!
But now with these new ones i have tried the old methods of format and copy using SD adaptor, tried formatting and coping the Android folder on to the phone using the USB connection on the phone, tried renaming the "Android" folder "android".
I have not updated or changed the WinMo ROM, but i have reloaded it, when i found out about this problem. I task 29 and then reflashed with the stock 1.66 and still no dice.
Step by step for last ones i have tried:
1. Power off phone and remove battery (not needed i know but hay)
2. Remove SD card and put in SD adaptor
3. Insert into Mac and format card Fat (Mac Fat = Win Fat32)
4. Unarchive Android ROM and copy to SD - (/StorageCard/Android)
5. After copy complete wait for 5min then eject SD (i like to make sure there is nothing in the buffer)
6. Put into phone, put battery in and power up (normally with the battery cover off lol)
7. Wait for the unfortunate Windows logo and phone to boot up ("Launching HTC Sense" seems to take forever)
8. As soon as phone started either run the Android icon from Sense or open File Explorer and run both programs
9. HeRET starts, screen goes black see txt (guess bootloader loading the kernel) for 1 second then screen fades to black with faint lines running down it (backlight on very dull)
10. Wait...wait...wait (Mattc Leo Froyo 1.8 waited 20min, then fell asleep and when i awoke 5hours later it was still the same)
I dont get it, so to recap i have formatted my SD every-time i have tried, i have task29 my phone about a week ago, tried many of the ROMS on here and nothing, i have tried one of the old ones and that works though!!!!
Arrrgg, Please somebody point out what stupid thing i am doing wrong.
"Even the doors don't like me!"
Could this be it?
I have spent more time reading forums and such like, could it be due to the fault described here in this post?

If you are using a standard stock 1.66 rom your radio may not be compatable. I had the same issue to start off with. Would boot half way then die. I upgraded my radio now using 2.14 and can boot no problem at all.

I have experimented with Stock UK WWE 1.66 about two weeks ago, and no matter
what Radio and HSPL I put on it, once I clicked on Haret, it goes exactly like you describe it
White faint lines all over the screen which seems like very fine drops of rain.
you can always try Winmo ROMs specifically made to be Android friendly.
also it would be valuable if you read this Thread read
at least the first and 13th post
hi guys
i have a little problem with my htc hd2
i flashed my radio to a 2.14.50.04
i put a rom on it
and hsspl 4
now when i want to start android it gets tuck at jumping to kernel and goes to a white screen with green letters
can someone explane what i can doe now beaucausei'm stuck
greets matthias
I'm guessing you're talking about SD card android roms.
If so, is the android folder at the root of your sd card? Are all the the contents of the folder in there?
zimage, intrid, system image, blank data image (if the build requires you to have one, some builds make their own data.img) , all of those are in there? And you tried CLRCAD then haret right?
Also how long did you wait on the HTC screen? 20 mins? You should have if you didn't.
If you didn't wait 20 mins, and the build you are using is one that makes its own data.img, delete it. Retry running android.
If you know not of anything in what i've stated go search and read.
hi
jep all the files are in there and the phone starts again after the htc screen
when can i seee if it maks his own data ?
In the android folder. o.o
If you didn't have to put in a blank data image into the android folder or it didn't come with one, then it is an android build that makes its own.
You can also see in the startup.txt to see if it makes one.
If you see something like this data_size=512, in the startup.txt , it is making its own data image, of size 512 mb. To change the size simply change data_size= something else
eg data_size=1024, creates a 1gb data image.
i don't get it
there is a data file of 512mb
butt is that file the problem?
can someone please help beausause i'm getting crazy
If there is, then simply try reboot android. o.o I already said this in my first post...
At max it should take 20 mins for first boot. If it still doesn't boot, then maybe that build doesn't work (you should read the last pages of every build you want to try to see what works and what doesn't), try a different build.
hi
i ddid but after 30 sec the phone starts again in windows
i tried 3different builds
cyanogenmod 7 v2.6 (gingerbread) on HTC HD2
After installation MDJ’s CyanogenMod 7 v2.6 (gingerbread 2.3) I
experience the following problems on my HTC HD2 (dutch HD2 with latest
Radio):
After ending a call or pushing the end-call button, the HD2 buttons
stay on and the screen stays black and doesn’t respond at all.
I have to remove the battery to reset my HD2.
sorry for my english, i hope you understand my issue here.
By the way I’ve installed MAGLDR v1.3, and CWM 1.3 and HSPL->SPL2.08
on the device.
Everything works perfect except the above
Please HELP!!
Try a different winmo rom? You can try task 29, then flash the winmo rom. Also insignificant in my opinion, but may play a cause in your problem, which HSPL did you install? I know you installed HSPL 4, but be specific, which one from the menu it offered? Eg. I have HSPL 2.08 which is the most popular for running android.
@aem
I'm sorry but I've never experienced your problem before, nor have I tried MDJ's Cyanogen build extensively before. Well as they say if this doesn't work properrly, try something else. Meaning, try a different build and see how it plays out. Use titianium to backup anything you'd like.
i now am runnin the newest hspl i think it is 3.33..
the rom was miri_steve0007
now i am downloading energy leo rom
and a different radio
else can't you just tell me from the beginning what i have to do for playing android?
May have no effect what so ever, but install HSPL 2.08, maybe it might fix your problems. Your case is weird one to me. @[email protected]
For sd android. Theoretically and for some, there are no requirements for android except for a radio later than 2.08, Build and HSPL shouldn't matter, but it did for some.
The android folder should be at the root of your sd card meaning /android, and one should simply run CLRCAD then HARET and done, android should boot up.
If you're looking to run android off NAND (your phones internal memory, removing winmo completely) You need a radio later than 2.08, HSPL 2.08 and MAGLDR installed.
got a new prob
the htc wont load any image anymore its allways stuck at 0%
does somebody knows what i should do?
Ouch, all flashing just stops? Is the phone in bootloader mode? The tri color screen I mean.
I'm sorry but this is where my knowledge stops, sorry, i can't think of anything else to help you with right now. Worst case scenario, your device might acutally be having hardware problems and needs to be repaired.
hi...i have a big problem...i cannot install an OS on my htc...especially a radio version...i receive an error at 100% saying that its not compatible or something like that....if i install a 6.5 Windows rom the phone won't start...so i'm guessing it is because of the radio....please someone help...tnx
Check if you phone gets hot... if yes then your phone has heating issues.
te be sure try this:
put you phone in fridge for 5-10 min ( take out battery, sim card, memory card and put phone in a bag to protect from water ), than try to install ( usb method or sd card method - i prefer last one)... probly everything will go ok but phone still wont boot up - if it does then its not heating issues.
I hope it works
PS: for heating issues visit link provided in my signature ( Solving the thermal problems of HD2 ) .
hi thx for the advice...but i do not think thats the problem now....maybe it was when it had an operating system and it kept restarting...but now i cant put on him a radio version...to install a os rom i can...but freezes in the logo screen...so i guees i need to install radio on it so the os will start..but i cant(....and i also tried to delete the memory with mtty and it failed also..at task 29 command or task 28 55aa says this:Cmd>set 14 0
crc=0xD2C8DA7F.
HTCST ÚÈÒHTCE
Cmd>task 28 55aa
Format start
Fill RSVD information for block 497 to 530
TAG NOT FOUND !!! NOT CLEAR STORAGE !!!
Format end
Cmd>task 29
Format BINFS start
Fill RSVD information for block 497 to 530
CE start start block=530, total block=3566
TAG NOT FOUND !!! NOT CLEAR STORAGE !!!
Format BINFS end
Cmd>
so i do not know what to do...
in the mtty thread, post 1, it says to ignore those error messages, , they are normal. MTTY (and task29) doesnt touch teh area of NAND where the radio is located anyway.
You seem to have what is sometimes referred to as a stuck radio, which doesnt work and wont flash.
Sorry, there is no actual fix for this, and the consensus seems to be that it is corrupt / bad NAND blocks.
The only solution which occasionally seems to work (but only in some cases) is cooling the phone as mentioned above.
Prepare your CORRECT stock rom on an sd card, phone into a bag in the fridge/freezer for long enough for it to be cold, then quickly sd card in, into bootloader, start it flashing, hope it takes. Ive seen people say it took on the 5th/10th/20th attempt, but for many it never takes.
ok thx...ill try the cooling method....regarding the mtty post...i've read it too...but there wrote to ignore errors...in my case says tag not found!not clear storage....like some kind of memory error...

Fridge trick does work!
Hey guys, I got one TMOUS HD2 which boots randomly and won't flash any radio.
I tried everything ...HD2 toolkit, mtty , stock rom etc...nothing.
Last put the darn thing in the freezer for 30 minutes (cannot tell the temp )
And yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssss
IT WORKS!
EVERYONE WITH A STUCK RADIO SHOULD TRY IT.
I am a noob and have been able to convert my HTC HD2 to android on two occasions. My third attempt has been the most challenging. Im trying to install MccMBoxmaX Transformer SS V4.5 Gingerbread 2.3.3[Sense 3.0] IN 3D and have tried EVERYTHING. Every thread that I can find, every way that has been explained and cannot get this one installed. My phone at this point boots into MAGLDR then reads sd kernel open failed. I updated to Tytung r5 and that did not work. I have been able to work through everything else to get android on my HTC through threads from XDA and it's been more than worth it. Please help.
Are you installing on sd or NAND ?
Never mind, it's an sd build. Anyway, since Im currently using cLK and booting from nand Im not really sure where it is at but you are supposed to set the directory of your android build (where the zimage stays). I think it's in option "10.Services" in magldr .. set the dir and try again.
Could you please explain further "set the directory of your android build (where the zimage stays). " TY
Surely you could just reset through stock Windows 6.5 (there are many guides), then boot it up via clrcad and haret? Or use an automatic build loader?
Also, if after this you still have trouble booting, change the WinMo rom. I'm using OZDroid, which is plain Windows 6.1 (I think, TBH I couldn't care less) with a dualboot app built in to the ROM.
i had this problem a few times before, "sd kernel open failed" is in red writing correct? sorry to say im not sure what caused it but i can tell you what worked for me to fix the problem.
1st i re-installed MAGDLR, 2nd i re-partitioned my phone to the correct specs the ROM i was using suggested, & last i re-downloaded the ROM and placed it on my sd card.
i know this seems like a lot of work but its the only thing i've come across thats worked every time. i've had to do this twice now. if you ever find out the cause i'd like to know & if i find out whats causing it i'll let you know as well.
Much thanks. Exactly what I ended up doing and works fantastic!

Stop panicking, you'll struggle to brick your phone. You can't use ROM Manager with MAGLDR, it doesn't work. First reflash CWM via USB Flasher mode in MAGLDR, that should fix AD Recovery. In fact, with the HD2 NEVER use any apps from Android that flash things, the HD2 isn't a native android phone and the vast majority of them don't work at all. Do everything manually, it will save you a lot of trouble. Boot into CWM and use the partition tool there to select a 1024 MB EXT 3/4 partition with 0 MB swap. Flash the ROM's .zip in CWM from your SD card. The guide in my sig goes into much more detail than above, use that if you need any more help.
thank.. but one more pls

As of now there's no publicly available Windows Phone 8 ROM but @Cotulla has shown that it's possible to boot Windows 8 RT and WP8 on the HD2. Don't hold your breath though, those screenshots surfaced (no pun intended) months ago and nothing much has changed since then.
You can dual boot Android with WinMo 6.5 or with WP7. Check out the guides in @mengfei 's signature for information on that.

you can always search in xda. what do you mean by windows 8? windows PHONE 7.8???? or windows phone 8?? or windows RT????? you could provide more details.
if it's windows phone 7.8, you will lose everything you have on nand and sd.
if it's windows phone 8 that you want, or windows RT, then it's not possible. there is no such thing as windows phone 8 or RT available to public on the hd2.
do you mean windows 8? then you have a lot to learn until you realize it's impossible
