NOTE: i posted this in the development thread by mistake, reposting here. sorry
hey everyone
i tried searching the threads but i cant find anyone with my exact problem (or something similar at least).
anyways ive been running dutty's winmo rom, i have a proper .50 radio running, and i have been able to successfully boot into darkstones superram v1.5 for the past few weeks just fine.
one night i forgot to charge the battery so it drained out, in the morning i had to work and i needed a number which was on the android OS of the phone, so i immediately turned on the phone after starting to charge it and booted into android, the phone didnt have enough power though and shut off while it was checking the SD card for errors.
after this point, i started up the phone again after 2 minutes to give it some time to charge, and it was able to get into android, however on hte way to work i tried listening to music and/or getting pictures from my SD card (using astro to search the SD card) but when i clicked on a file everything force closed, the music player froze up everytime i tried to get music going, and things like the sound options in the android settings menu would force close as well.
i figured somethnig messed up on the SD card so i backed up some stuff and formatted the SD card, and reinstalled a fresh version of darkstones superram (new data.img and everything).
when i tried launching android it went to the green HTC screen for a few seconds, then the screen goes black and the phone restarts into winmo.
this kept happening so i figured maybe something went wrong with the windows mobile rom, so i installed an energy rom just now and hte same thing is still happening.
what im going to do today is try it on a different SD card to see if thats the problem, and try another SD android ROM to make sure.
but if anyone can save me some time and knows whats happening here please let me know!
any help is appriciated! thanks!
[Dec 18][RAM] darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 [kernel: Hastarin custom]
I am assuming you are using the above.
It sounds like your SD card was "damaged", try refreshing it this way.
Assuming you are using Windows PC.
Download SD Card Formatter 3 and install.
Insert SD card into card reader
Start up SD Card Formatter 3, it should detect your SD Card.
Click on OPTIONS button
Format = FULL (ERASE ON)
Format Size Readjustment = ON
Click OKAY then START
When done, put only important stuff back, like music, documents, videos, etc..
Then start Darkstone Froyo from scratch, in case those files were damaged before the backup.
I've followed the dual boot tut and wp7 is working fine, I marked the wp7 partition as primary. I used services to point to android build dir, Im using Copes build which i read works with magldr without any modification. My issue is that when I choose to boot ad sd from magldr i get to GO GO GO! and it just sits there... I let it go for 30 mins.
I thought maybe i needed to add a data.img to it so i dl'd a 1gb data.img and placed it in the android root... still no luck.
inside copes build was a folder that said magldr with instructions to swap out the startup and the rootfs.img.... no go still stuck at GO GO GO!
WTH am i doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated... wp7 boots fine off the nand, just cant get into droid....
EDIT:recopied copes droid/cynogen build back to sd left the 1gb data.img which was fresh on there and got past the GO GO GO! but now im stuck at the HTC logo for 30 mins and no signs of life...
oh and i reverted from 2.15 to 2.12 radio because of reported longer battery life, as far as ive read this is compatible with copes build. Any ideas why im stuck at the htc splash?
Bump!
I got passed the htc logo and I get passed cm7 splash but the phone freezes at the setup wizard... sometimes I get passed being asked to complete action using com.android.provision or Setup wizard, but it will quickly freeze. touchscreen is non responsive and i have to pull the battery.
Ive reformatted several times and recopied the build no luck do you think if i change the data.img from 1gb to a lower size it will not freeze? has anyone had this issue before?
I tried to do the same thing you did and I gave up. I was using Darkstone's super ram build and WP7 works perfectly on NAND but it will no boot android. Sorry I can be no help. Just to let you know that Super ram froyo is having the same issues if you chose to do another build.
i finally got the gingerbread/cm7 from cope working! I had to swap out the startup txt and the root file from the the magldr folder. the first time i tried this it didnt work because I believe there was a corrupted file from copying the droid build to the sd using magldr's 4. Usb mass storage option.
I Got gingerbread/cm7 working and installed but I cannot use the marketlace to dl apps I get a message saying your application will be downloaded... or something of that nature. When I go to my apps and try to manually install them they kick to the top and never start. They quickly drop back down to the list of apps with an uninstalled status.
I have the apn setup and im connected to wifi. Im once again at a loss....
there is a thread on here that will tell you how to mount your img and edit a string to allow darkstone to work! search in android developement for booting android with magldr...
Hello,
sorry it there is already thread, in that case, pls give me the links..
SO, after using Android on HD2 for one month WITHOUT any problems.. today i got:
activity phone in process com.android.phone is not respondind
Also, after restart, on first call i got robot voice... second call i cant hear anything..
SO, WTF happened?
I did not install any aps, or uninstal... i just dont get it!
Thnx
Have you tried reinstalling the Rom to see if the problem is still there?
yes.. i deleted old android folder, and instaled it again, same thing.. my win mob 6.5 works fine..
Dont know what could happened..
When the message comes up, did you ever press wait? This happened me once and I just pressed wait and after about 1 - 2 minutes it comes on and works fine for the rest of the time I use it. If that doesn't help, then I guess you just have to install a new build.
ok, will try.
thnx
And it happened... also couple days ago it also hapened, but afret half hour everything was ok...
Every time (first, last, and now third) i:
- restarted android
- restarted launcher
- make couple calls with win mobile (aok there...)
- boot to win, make call, restart again boot win.. unmount sd, restart with sd in, and then booted android again
- pressed wait wher error popout
- turned sync and apn off
And this time, cant solve the problem....
Pls, wtf?! And I can't find topic here.....

SD builds for me have always ran great for some amount of time, then start messing up out of nowhere. What happens, as I understand it, is that blocks of memory in your sd card become corrupted after awhile of running Android from the card.
Best thing you can do to cope with this set of circumstances is:
1. Back up the contents of your sd card to your comp, and do a full format on the card before installing an SD build. This will reduce the frequency of corruption problems.
2. Once you get your build set up how you like it, back up your entire Android folder onto your comp. Do this once a week or so, and you can delete the old folders after each new backup to conserve space. Then if you encounter sd/data corruption again, you can backup and format your card, and drop your content and backed up Android folder back on it and be up and running again with minimal loss.
3. Forget Windows Mobile and sd builds and go NAND. It's more stable in the long term, and uses less battery because it isn't constantly reading from and writing to the sd card. Plus NAND is the manly thing to do, sd builds are for girlymen

Received my first HTC through the post yesterday and joined the site in an attempt to run android. I know nothing and there's an overwhelming amount of information on this site so just need someone to point me in the right direction.
Used this and followed instructions carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
My problem is after running clrcad.exe and haret.exe, the phone reset after a grey screen. Looked like it went well but now the SD card has disappeared from the file explorer and windows when connected through USB.
Any help appreciated, just want to get the SD card back up so I can format it and so on. Thanks.
I take it by the lack of replies that this isn't a common problem. It's kind of put me off trying any new ROM's as a simple procedure like this can't even go straight. Will have to stick with Winmo then
Im not quite sure anymore, but i dont think you are able to mount your sd as long as you use sd builds. I dont know if this is changing with an ext partition on your sd.
Just check out the NAND section. Its installed on your internal memory and not running from sd. WinMob will be fully deleted and replaced with Android, so first do a backup of contacts etc!!!
If you do not need WinMob for any kind of apps for work etc which arent ported to Android yet (which i dont think there are much NAND is the best solution for you.
Started like you with sd build 2years ago, too. But switched to NAND as soon as it was stable.
Now it is almost perfect.

I have same problem

How did you get the card to show again? Or did you buy a new one?
Just a thought,have you tried a soft reset? Switch phone off Take back cover of and press little red button for a few seconds,put cover back on reboot into android
Also make sure your SD card is formatted to 32kb (slow format)

First of all I would like to thank xda and the whole community for making all this possible. I have learned a lot and I am really grateful to all of you.
So I will start with the problem I have.
I have a 512 HD2 Europe version that I used since it came out. First as everyone knows, it came with a 6.5 version, which i got bored of quickly and replaced with a rom that i found on this web-site. 2 years ago i followed all the instructions and successfully installed a working gingerbread 2.3.7 on my device with everything working smoothly ( minimal lag). I was all happy and using it till a few weeks ago when I got a call and when i picked up my phone got stuck and i had to restart by removing the battery. And now come the problem that I am facing:
MAGLDR 1.13 Feb 2011 version doesnt boot my android anymore. Excuse me with the terminology but I got a bit rusty over the years and i might not be saying things right. Therefore I will try to be as simplistic as possible. Every time I try to turn on my HD2, it only loads up to the first screen after the HTC LOGO Screen, which says MAGLDR 1.13 Feb 2011. It vibrates a couple of times and afterwards nothing happens.
Of course the first thought that came to my mind was to re-install like the good old windows style. A re-install fixes everything, however when I connect my phone to the PC, it is not recognized by the PC (so that I can access the SD card).
I would be grateful to anyone who can give me guidelines or contribute to the whole problem-solving case.
Thank you in advace.
Can you get to magldr menu?, press and hold power button
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda premium
No, it just turns on the first screen after the htc logo and the phone does not load anything. A strange remark is the fact that once it opens the boot screen, it vibrates 3 times and then nothing or it restarts itself.
Have you tried re-flashing MAGLDR?

Also what does it say on bootloader screen? Hold volume down while booting phone ...
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda premium
Thank you for your replies.
While booting when I hold the volume key down, the red green blue white screen appears.
It says:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
Afterwards, I am not able to do anything besides turning off by removing the battery.

Boot to multicolour screen again and plug in usb cable to pc and see if the word serial at bottom of screen turns to USB, if so you can install magldr. Otherwise you need to install the correct drivers for your OS. Download and install WMDC if you are on win 7 or XP!
Edit: Here is a link to some good reading to help with the above...
Ok, "USB" appears after "Serial", then the next step is to reinstall MAGDLR but as I start the program it gives me the following error:
An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: Config load failed.
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (725)
Error Description: CONFIG: can't open config file

Any clues anyone ?
Are you using the hd2 toolkit?
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda premium
no, i just use the MAGDLR rar, which you extract and then have to run an exe file.
should i try the toolkit? and is there a 32bit version for it?
Yes get the toolkit, its easier. Make sure to select correct partition size for the ROM.

My advice to you is to start over from scratch and God knows I've done it a zillion times...from scratch here we go...
A1. Chase down and install the HD Toolkit and execute it!
A2. Remove your case, battery cover, and memory card. You will need a microUSB cord.
A3. I'm running Windows 8 Pro on my end and XP prior to it. Make sure your drivers are up to date.
A4. It won't matter if you're corded...plugged in to your computer or you insert the cord with each step.
B1. Press and hold you're volume down toggle, reinsert battery, and you will be quietly greeted with your bootloader's rainbow screen.
B2. Make sure you have "USB" at the bottom center.
B3. Click "Task 29" tab on HD2 ToolKit; this will wipe NAND on your device...it takes only seconds.
B4. The moment your device restarts again press and hold down your volume down toggle and again you will be greeted with your bootloader's rainbow screen. If you fail to get to this screen you will be greeted with "HTC" and that's it...just pull the battery and do it again.
C1. There are a gazillion ways to install the MAGLDR and Recovery but when I do it I click on MAGLDR and it too only takes a few seconds.
C2. The device will reboot automatically and let it. You will be greeted with the MAGLDR menu.
C3. Using your volume down toggle, scroll down to number 5 - USB Flasher
C4. You're looking for "Wait USB...USB"
C5. Open on your computer wherever you have your recovery files...again, there are a gazillion different ways to do this, but I use the cLK1.3_400mb partition for the EnergyROM.
C6. Open the folder and right click "DFT" Application
C7. Follow the prompts...you're looking for Waiting Connection to USB,,,be patient and pay attention to your device.
C8. Your device will respond by installing the file.
C9. From MAGLDR, scroll down to #8 Recovery...you will flash your Roms and other zip files from here.
D1. Using SD Formatter...format your card...it can be anything up to 64GB, really!
D2. Using Mini-Tool Partition Wizard you will perform the necessary steps to set your card up. I usually setup 75% of my card as Fat32 32K cluster, 25% EXT4 default cluster. The formatting of the Ext4 partition will take several minutes dependent upon the size of your card.
D3. Once done, while the card is still inserted to your computer, copy to your card all the zips you will need to flash your phone. You will not be able to see the Ext4 from Windows/File Explorer (Windows).
These steps are for NAND install; I've yet to successfully install EnergyROM by any other method than this way; newer ROMs, no problem regardless how you want to do it as long as your memory card is setup as above. There can be problems with your memory card, especially the slower ones. I recommend Class 6 or Class 10, though there are a few issues using the 64GB Class 10s. I've read the 16GB and 32GB Class 6's are pretty darn good. That said, I am using a 64GB SDXC I reformatted in my HD2. There is lag in the up to date Roms like NexusHD2 ICS and JB, but not enough to take away from a good experience....as long as you don't bog it any further down with resource hungry apps.
E1. At this stage the MAGLDR is the only thing on your device, reinsert the SD card to your device.
E2. Scroll down to #8 and follow the prompts
E3. I installed EnergyROM via NAND for T-Mobile
F1. Once all done and you have the three rings revolving around each other...enjoy.
F2. If you have T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling, use the appropriate file for the operating system; I'm not aware there is a JellyBean version; however, I've had no trouble with Gingerbread or ICS as long as you have the correct SIM card provisioned for it.
F3. I use App2Mgr to transfer what programs can be safely put on the SD card's Ext4. Music, Photos, Videos...you know the drill go on Fat32; you pray you don't have to reformat that part of the card given how much data you may have there.
Think positive! I can't tell you how many times I spent an evening enjoying Trial & Error on my couch! I usually read every known thread on the subject while experimenting.

Thank you berrywr for the time you spent on my problem. I will try following your steps as soon as I have some free time left. Thank you so much shanman ! I will let you know asap if it worked out.
there is just one thing in the steps given by berrywr.. I have long lost my recovery files (original windows 6.5). Is that a big problem?
