[Q] HD2 wont boot android off SD

Hi guys i need help i feel like a newb i have put several different version of android on a 16gb SD card that i purchased today. (lost the original) and i cant get any version to boot. It will say jumping to kernel and will not boot past the htc screen.
I got this HD2 as a replacement in the mail last week.
my am size is 576 megs and my radio is 2.15.50.14
Any ideas???

You might want to reformat the SD to a FAT format. That format will work the best with Android on the HD2.

with fat intend fat32 ?

Hi,I have the exact same problem,I'm using the same radio as u.I use energy rom the latest one I think the problem is cause by the rom. with magldr android works fine.btw u need the sd to be formated to fat32. I say try to install a different rom it might help, i'm gonna try that out too.

i had tried 2 rom and the result is the same, i had format sd card but haret doesn't work

Did u try to flash to magldr 1.13 and then flash a nand android?
after all u want the android more than winmo 6.5 ,no?
I'm checking out now artemis rom with android soon will see how it works.

at the moment i don't want install android on nand, i want try android from sd with haret.
Before the hspl procedure, with the original rom all working good, now, with hspl 2.08 and custom rom no.

some one else posted the same question.and they found an answer m8.
say thx to this guy if works - h.nocturna
I think renaming to it's original name makes a huge difference!
If I were to rename to Android, it wouldn't start up anymore!

Click to collapse
so if u unrar an android build copy all of it and don't rename it to android or copy just the android folder.
and try to format it to FAT32 and 8kb clusters before.
I'm testing this out now,hope it works.

eureka !!!
i've update the radio with one up then 2.08,..... and now my leo is in android booting.
try it

what radio version your using?
still not working for me.. even from magldr sd...

2.10.50.08-2

ok thx ,I flashed the latest radio again,and android nand works and boot ad sd works too. so if it still won't work booting android from winmo I will downgrade my radio version seems like it works.

HD2 update failed (noob)

Hello guy's
I recently bought a second hand HD2 by internet (NLD)
I was so happy .... but when i switching the hd2 on I got to see UPDATE FAILED!!!.
(see pictures)
and this is the bootloader
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/802/dscn5268mobile.jpg/
i've tried to connect de hd2 to my comp. but it does not regonize it
I looked around on the net and here on the forum but I do not get it
can you pleassse help me with the correct links !!!

try this:
plug into pc - install drivers
(instead of serial, there need to be "USB")
then do a task29 (delete nand)
then try to flash your fav. winmo rom again!
(if you dont want winmo, you need to flash another hspl version for android)
come in this chat: http://www.chatzy.com/577626290448

oke, but there is no way....that i can connect my HD2 by usb
so far only by sdcard
I tried to delete HSPL en go Back to SPL ...with stock rom (htc-website)
(sdcard trick) still failed....
i think i am doing something wrong
can somebody help me...with the right files

Most often the reason the SD card method fails is because a 8GB or greater SD Card is used.
A 1 or 2GB SD Card would be a bettter option.

You need to have HSPL to flash custom ROMs.
Have a good read * HERE *. These are the instructions I followed when I first got my HD2.
It is a bit of a read, but it is very well worth it.

First off did you use your serial number to download the Windows Mobile ROM from the HTC site?
Second, yes a 2 gig or smaller SD card works best but have you tried doing a complete formatting the SD card using Fat 32, also did you rename the file LEOIMG.nbh and place it on the root of your SD card? It has to be named LEOIMG.nbh cause the bootloader will not recognize any other file name, and it has to be on the root of your SD card or it will not detect it.
Third, do you see Serial or USB in the white bar of bootloader when you try to flash via RUU? If it says Serial you do not have the HTC USB Sync connection between your computer and HD2. If it says USB you should have the HTC USB Sync connection.
Fourth like member fred_up said you have to have HSPL to flash any custom Windows Mobile ROM, and you have to have HSPL 2.08 to flash MAGLDR and a 2.07.50.xx or higher radio too, and you have to have HSPL to flash cLK also.
Fifth your battery has to be 50% or more to be able to flash via RUU or it will not let it. But if you do not have a working Windows Mobile ROM, MAGLDR Android or WP7 ROM, or a working cLK ROM, you can not charge your HD2 cause it does not charge in bootloader. Although if you can get cLK to flash you might be able to let it charge while it is off, not 100% positive about that though.
Last have you downloaded and tried out the HD2 NAND Toolkit? if you have not I suggest you do as it might make things a lot simpler for you. Also take a look at my guide linked in my sig as it might help you understand your HD2 a little better.

[Q] magldr+wm7 reflashed to wm6.5 but internal memory reduced

Hi,
I've posted this in general because it covers multiple os's/tools.
Original phone wm6.5
Installed magldr 1.13
Then flashed android used for a month or so... Nice...
Then flashed Windows mobile 7... Nice to but shame about sync...
Decided I need the reliability of wm6.5 and android available on SD card to bot if needed.
So downloaded stock o2 rom reflashed to wm6.5 seems to have got rid of magldr and wm7 for ROM but I'm getting less but my internal memeory for programs seems low.
I'm getting on avaerage 18-30mb of free program memory and now have the occasional out of memory error.
Could it be that some things have not been removed when I reflashed or is that not possible?

You mean the RAM or the ROM?
If it's the RAM then you probably have to flash a radio that enables 576 of RAM.
If it is an Internal Memory issue, You need to remove some apps (?).
Im not sure, report back.

I mean ram and now you say it I did flash HSPL to 2.08 if thats right?

That's correct, but is your radio 2.15.50?

If the rom is 3.14 and the spl ISN'T 3.03.xxxx then ram will drop to 200something total, with 50 or so free, and the phone will be unstable.
If it is 3.14 rom, then use Hspl4 and choose 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl and it will fix it, or re flash the 3.14 but using SD card so that it updates spl to 3.03.0000

Just so you can tell me I'm not going crazy about the space. I have recorded some screen shots. I'm also getting programs that should be running in the back ground like pocket shield stopping running.
What does the memory screen say to you?

Did you read my post? Your two bootloader pics show NON 3.03 spls and the rom info shows a 3.14 rom,,,so,I repeat, you cannot ....CANNOT.... run a 3.14 rom on any spl/hspl EXCEPT. 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl, because if you do your memory drops to 200.
(This is not true for tmous phones,only regular)

Yes I did read your post. Just wanted more conformation before I started doing thing to it again. Thanks very much for your help I will redo to the spec you have provided and get back to you in the next couple of days with the results.
Thanks.

Does this mean I'll be unable to launch Android from SD card.
Does Android not need 2.08 to work?

Only nand android and magldr need 2.08.hspl

This fixed my problem, thanks very much.

Are you putting the Android folder in the root of the sd card? How much time are you Waiting ..first boot should take 5 or 6 minutes at least ..try another sd card too ..

by root of SD you mean; after formatting i just place it in the storage card directory right ? yes im doing that and i have a standard 4gb SD card

Yes Sir I am running the clrcad.exe first and then The Haret file plus Im waiting almost 2hours each time =/

format sd
put the folder 'Android'- not only its content but the folder itself to sd
clrcad
haret.
if it doesnt boot then hard reset phone and then do all the steps above again

Also,, regular hd2 or tmous? (I ask because 3.14 rom and 2.08.hspl on a regular don't mix, messes with the ram).
Also, for SD android the hspl and radio rules don't matter in the way they do for nand android.
As an aside, I only once got any haret based rom to load in a dozen or so attempts, and it immediately prevented the winmo rom from starting, forcing a hard reset.

Regular, not the tmous... So it is indeed not rare for the haret based rom not to load up in the first or even second attempt ? And will a hard reset really help ? I'll try hard resetting and then repeating the process

Not to cause confusion, but I've found this to be completely untrue. I was running a 3.14 ROM with HSPL 2.08 and Haret for ages, before deciding to give up on WinMo altogether and go to NAND. Everything worked fine.
@OP, have you tried different SD cards?

hey it worked... A simple change of a sd card worked... Tried two others, worked with the third one
thanks all you guys

Can a 3.14 stock TMOUS with 2.15 radio have a dual boot nand android?

No, if winmo is installed nothing else can be on the nand

Then, if I want to dual boot an android SD types are my only choice? I read a thread here stating that NAND is "hands down" better than SD types. If so, then could I still play games in an android SD build as fast as I could in a NAND build?
I recently bumped into this new android version rom
http://hd2apps.blogspot.com/2011/04/htc-hd2-apps-android-cm7-233.html
Like what I've said earlier, my TMOUS is a stock ver. 3.14 with radio ver. 2.15. The post in that blog says that that rom will work on a 2.08 or higher radio, but it stated that 2.12 is recommended, and and hspl 4.
Can I just install the hspl and leave the radio as is?

Bumping thread ^_^
In the Americandroid thread there's a video tut for installing and making the americandroid rom work. At the end of the video the specs of the phone used were posted, it was a 3.14 with a 2.15 radio so that answers my question, but now I have another. The video didn't make it clear whether the 3.14 rom he used was a stock or not, so my question is, can I have an SD android rom on a stock TMOUS winmo rom? Or do I really have to flash a cooked rom?

stock winmo rom is fine

Wow, thanks for the reply. I've been waiting for one in ages ^_^
Well, I tried. Funny thing though... first of, my sim was recognized but I can't seem to see any of my contacts. When I go to "my contacts" it says that I have to import it through accounts or something, but I can't find it anywhere. It says that I have to go to some menu and click on account and import.
Another thing is, when I restarted my phone to use winmo again, most of the programs I installed didn't work anymore like dutty's task manager and the resco file manager to name a few.
Any thoughts on this? I was thinking it was because of the stock rom I have. BTW, I don't have HSPL from what I remember. Just SPL.

Mate you better flash HSPL right now as it will save you from future headaches

yea hspl will save you from plenty of issues down the road

Thanks for the reps guys. I'll post the outcome of this.. thanks again ^_^
Oh, one more question. Does this apply to all SD android roms, or just the one I posted?

Ok, here's the outcome. I tried installing HSPL 2.08 as per instructions of almost all of the sd android rom builds I've seen. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
After installing HSPL 2.08, I noticed a big difference in my winmo. I hardly get any bars in my signal bar, hence, I can't text, I can't call and can't be contacted.
So I went back and installed SPL 3.03.
BTW, I have an unlocked TMOUS with stock 3.14 rom and radio 2.15, and now have SPL 3.03.
I would like to keep my stock 3.14 rom (or, if a cooked rom is needed I would like a closest to stock 3.14 cooked rom) and run an SD android rom. How do I do that? Is there an SD android rom out there that fits my needs?
Thanks for the help again.

[q] {q} rom help

Not sure if this is the right topic.
I tryd to install wp7 today to my HD 2 and it didnt work so i just downgrade it to another rom and now it says that i dont have any space in my internel memory how can i fix this and where can i get an decent rom that is android compatible

need a heap more info than that. a step by step, complete with full filenames and versions please, and an idea what your aim is,. For instance, you say 'a rom that is android compatible', does that mean you wanna used sd card android and keep winmo on too?

yes i want that
.
but my other problem is that my internal storage is critical low when i run WM 6.5.
i got SPL 2.08 on it and the newest rom from Vodafone (netherlands).
i only have a total of 68mb storage and 200mb total storage for programs

Can't run 3.14 roms on 2.x spl without memory issues. Don't need spl 2.08 to run SD android.

Try a task29 and then reflash.
