[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
Peter[/QUOTE]

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] big noob here, android/6.5 help!? Pretty please

I am new to XDA because I'm knew to the HTC HD2 T-mo USA. I like Win 6.5, works fine, but have the need to tinker. Seriously, have been researching how to install Android for about 12-14 hours combined. See plenty of guides that are not easy to understand, and then don't mention HSPL, etc. Could anyone help me safely install? I have loaded (but not installed) froyo sense 3.2 and dual boot loader. Everything appears to be okay, pressed clrcad, then hared and the HTC logo comes up??? I have not installed HSPL, is that the problem? A complete layman's guide would be very helpful. If I install HSPL can't I just remove my sim card to not lose contacts? Links to help, will probably not be helpful, I think I've read them all, as well as the rest of the Internet.
My info:
Radio 2.10 stock
Rom Vers. 2.13.531.1 stock
Thanks to all here, you guys are way beyond me and your mercy would be appreciated!

When you saw the htc logo how long did you wait for? If it's your first boot then boot time should take roughly 20 mins max. Unless you've downloaded a data image with the build you're trying out and placed the data image in the same android folder, then boot time should be faster. So if you didn't copy a data image file that you've downloaded, into the android folder, go into the android folder, delete the data image file that the system has created, and try to boot android again, wait for about 20 mins and android should be ready, complete the setup or not (DO not install any apps). Then reboot your phone, start up android again, then you're ready to go. HSPL does not remove sim contacts if i remember correctly.
The only problem with HSPL is the possibility of voiding your warranty.

Thanks!
First, thanks for your reply. In videos about installing, after people click haret, massive amount of script(?) start running, that just never happened. HTC logo comes up instantly, waited about 10 minutes, due to many people saying it took about 7 min. I was just expecting scrolling script/code(?)
Again, thanks for your help. I will certainly wait longer if that's what you believe I should do. Does HSPL need to be installed to install Android? Seen talk about radio, appears my 2.10 version is okay?

It's okie, it's normal for current android builds not to show those massive amounts of scripts. If i remember correctly stock roms don't really bode well with android so i suggest you flash a custom rom. I would recommend you HSPL the device first however since HSPL is recommended for both flashing winmo and booting android, HSPL 2 or 3 will do. You can remove the HSPl by flashing a stock rom through sd card when you don't want the HSPL anymore.Your radio is okie i think, i'm not sure about the prerequisites for running android on a t-mo hd2 however.

Hi, the videos you have watched are of the older versions of android which showed all the script when launching linux. Now they are all nicely concealled under the HTC logo, if you want a nice safe build to get you started, try darkstones superRAM rom.
It loads itself onto your ram rather than running off the SD card, and also runs perfect on stock phones without HSPL.
Simply drag+drop onto your SD card then lanch CLRCAD+haret, and away you go.
Heres a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518
Hope this can get you started

Yes I believe you have to use hspl for your phone for the android process to be complete and work properly.

No, you do not need HSPL, I use Android every day on the ROM in my sig, with regular stock SPL.
No robot voice, no SOD, everything works.
Just place the Android folder on the root (not inside any folders, just on the sd card) of your sd card, go into file explorer in WinMo, navigate to Android folder, press CLRCAD, press Haret, and enjoy Android. First boot can take 10-15 mins.

try this,its very simple very quick to do and works very well

[Q] How to delete NAND android?

Hello everyone,
I bought an HTC HD2 a few days ago, (not a new one) And it was installed with UltimateDroid, I don't really like this version, and Sense doesn't work on it, so I was wondering if I can delete it, and how.
And if I delete it, Will my phone automatically run Windows mobile?
I'm new to this and this is my first time with android and htc, So I don't know anything about it.
Hope someone can help..

You have to flash a new rom using AD Recovery Tool

Easiest thing for you to do would be to start from scratch or follow this guide. You shouldn't need to do step 1 and you will already have the prerequisites. This is for Android, not WinMo.
For WinMo, download a ROM and flash it from bootloader. See the Windows Mobile dev stickies for detailed instructions (you will be able to ignore the HSPL part.)

What do you want in stead of UltimateDroid?
Android with sense, or WM6.5?
We need to know this in order to give you proper help.
I personally recommend Android, WM6.5 is a dying OS...

Dual boot is possible, WinMo on NAND, Android from SD, you can even have Ubuntu Linux on SD at the same time for triple boot.
To wipe data if you plan on going back to Windows Mobile on NAND, just flash a Windows Mobile ROM at the tri-color bootloader screen (boot the device up while holding the vol - key)
If you have Android on NAND, and want to keep Android but just want to wipe data, there's an option for that in CWM Recovery.
If you have WinMo on NAND, and just want to do a data wipe/factory reset, power on while holding both volume keys and follow the on-screen prompt
If you want to format your NAND memory, there is a tool called task 29, but it's not necessary.
If you're asking whether you can run both Windows Mobile and Android from NAND, no. It's one or the other

Sorry for the late reply, I want Android with sense! I have no experience with flashing roms etc. Never done anything like it before.

OK really first do you have magLDR or cLK ... when you turn on phone does it immediately go to boot screen or do you see some running script followed by 1,2,3,4,5,6 ... go go go!
if you have go go go the simply go to the Dev forums find a rom with (magLDR) in the title and follow instructions. they almost have a link to the best recovery to use with their rom.
if you boot straight up like a native android, or you can charge your phone when its turned off you have cLK ... to the dev forums and look for (cLK) in title and again follow instructions and get to it.

It says the 1,2,3,4,5,6.. go go go! thing, but I can also choose to go to boot screen, which gives me all kinds of numbers with flash rom and stuff.
But thanks, I'll have a look!

Completely lost going from Windows Phone 7 to android or a better wp7

Hi, I'm completely lost I'm also a Noob I haven't flashed a rom since I owned a HTC vogue which was a very long time ago and I can imagine it isn't the same.
My mom's HD2 is running wp7 I don't know the name of it but it don't work too good no market, she can't get texts because of a space issue and apparently she can't set up her internet for Simple mobile..
Now we're stuck she loves wp7 so we found a Tiger rom but we get an error every time (something about sd card init)?
She wants either WP7 (working) or Android
So far we have
Magldr 13
HSPL or whatever and a 5.51 radio
and I cannot figure out if we can even flash a rom because everything says 2.08 and I don't want to brick her only phone.
We are super lost I saw the noob video and yes I am I noob but I just want her phone working by tonight shes in school and I don't know a thing about Flashing and I don't understand none of this I have a Samsung Infuse.
Help us please I searched all on google about going from Wp7 to android and I could not get my answer.
I would THANK anyone who offers some kinda help tonight.

You should try this ROM. I use it on my HD2 and it's really good. It's updatable via Zune or via cab sender.
What you need to know about WP7 is that the type of SD card you're using matters a lot. It can give you all kinds of problems.
Do some reading on that thread and have a go at it. So long as you've got HSPL 2.8 and magldr installed, you should not be able to easily brick the phone.
EDIT: as is my usual, I forgot to put the link in.

Sounds to me like somebody has been messing with moms phone and screwed it up
Mate...there are so many posts on flashing what and in what order in this section alone it is pretty pointless me typing them out again.
But in direct response to the issues you mentioned.
SD card . You need to make sure your SD card is clean and formatted (FAT 32)before you flash a WP7 rom. Unlike other phone OS's , WP7 has to have a good working SD card in order to work.
As many members (including me) have recommended in the past. The best starting point is to TASK29 it (wipe) and install an original WP6.5 rom first.
That way you can make sure all the hardware is working properely.
Then go download all the software you need ( HSPL 2.08, MAGDLR, Radio, Rom of choice) Plenty of links scattered all over this forum.
And remember to always hard reset your phone after you have flashed the ROM !!! Not doing this can give all kinds of grief.
Your moms market place probably isnt working because the phone isnt activated with micro soft. Loads of threads on activation. take a few mins to read them.
There are other markets ( for apps) that don't require activation. Some roms included them "in" the ROM.
Good luck

First of all read the 'how to' links in my signature. Secondly, sounds like whoever installed wp7 on the phone never entered the required activation code to access marketplace from the phone with a windows live id.
Thirdly, sounds like you have Yuki/XBmod's ROM. This ROM locks the SD card for security in case of a lost phone. Go the WP7 development forum and read the first post in both Back To The Future thread and the companion SP1 threads to learn about how to unlock the SD card. Or the other path is to use a new SD card.
You can either install Yuki/XBmod again which is the current version of WP7 Mango v8107. If you don't want to worry about locking SD issues try flashing one of the other ROMs. I've tried Pjad..something's ROM and.it's pretty stable even with the beta v8773. I've heard good things about HD2O's ROM too.
The thing about Yuki/XBmod ROM is it is updatable via Microsoft update. The other's are updatable unless you flash again and setting up your phone from scratch everytime. The only other ROM I know of that is updatable like Yuki's is the HD2O ROM.
It's up to you which you choose.
As for setting up for Simple...there is a new updated cab that has Simple setups for you to use. I think that once you install Connection Setup from the HTC Marketplace it'll have the setup you need regardless of which ROM.
Also, read the General Questions forum for information on obtaining a WP7 activation code.
I would recommend the real MS Marketplace for relatively less risky WP7 apps....so get an activation code. It's not difficult.

[Q] Strange Behavior on TMOUS (Pictures Inside)

Hello to all of you guys, i have searched the forum but have not found a similar problem that I currently have in hands, so let me start to explain.
I have an HTC T-Mobile HD2
Model No: PB81120
SPL: 2.10.0000 8G XE
Stock Rom: Never tried to install anything or upgrade
The phone worked fine until some days ago it stopped working and hangs on boot, screen all white with the logo all messed up and stretched.
I did a softreset, an hardreset, i can boot it on Bootloader (the tri-color screen) and it detects usb.
So thinking this behavior was caused by its software I tried to reset it (soft and hard) but with no luck, if i try to install via USB the phone dont pass the 0% (and it shows no logo above the bar, only a white rectangle with some black lines), then I tried boot from the SD (8gb class 4) but it hangs on Loading... screen (searching the other threads i found that maybe I need a higher class card and if possible with only 4 or 2gb).
Running Task29 from toolkit or trying to install something from the USB does the same thing as trying to install the Stock ROM (freezes at 0%).
So my question is, am I doing somthing wrong, or do you guys have a solution for my problem? And sorry for my english.
P.S: If needed i will buy another microSD card.
P.S2: If you have any questions, I will try to answer them the best as I can.

Based on the second image, it looks like you're trying to re-flash WM6.5 on it, correct? FYI, v3.14.405.2 is not the latest version. I think that v3.14.531.0 is (and the filename is RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_LEO_1.5_Ship.exe). I suggest looking for that (it's likely in a stickied thread in the WM6.5 sub-forum) and trying it. If that doesn't work, you might try downloading the latest radio and installing that first.
Another idea: could your USB cable be flakey, perhaps? If you have another that you can grab, try that.
If you can't manage to re-install WM6.5, try installing Android or Windows Phone 7 (see the respective sub-forums), instead. This guide can help you do it for Android, if you're interested.

Ty for the fast answer, I'm donwloading the ROM right now and later i will update with the results. I cannot install Radio only version because I do not have HSPL installed, and about the USB cable, I'm using it with other devices and it's working fine. (I will try to find another USB meanwhile cable just to be sure).
Update, after downloading the ROM I tried to install it via USB but the strange behavior continues, it does not pass the 0% and after some minutes the setup fails as shown in the album I posted in the first post

I'm not sure what more you can try if you want to keep WM6.5. I suppose that you could try to install HSPL, a new radio and even MagLdr, then try to install the WM6.5 ROM again. If it fails, then just install Android or WP7, I guess. I would just do that, anyways, since WM is dead. I would go with the Android 4.3 (latest version from Google) ROM that's in my signature, but it's up to you.

Are you trying to install HSPL through HD2 Toolkit, perchance? Have you tried the standalone version? A link to it is here. I would suggest right-clicking and running it as an administrator, just in case. After that, try using the HD2 Toolkit to repartition as MagLdr or CLK. If it's still a no-go, then I don't know.
OK, I just did a search and it came up with a slew of threads that possibly describe your problem. Have you looked at any/all of these and tried the suggestions in them?
