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.
Flashed some day´s ago WP7 but I reverted to WINMO again... and when I try to put an Android Built on it won´t boot...
I get a cmd lines, kernel something and it get the HTC screen and it get stuck in it... Tryied lot´s of diferent sd builds but the result is the same.
I already formated my sd, tried in other WINMO rom´s and other sd and the result is the same!
I have HSPL 1.66
I have the last radio
I have the same as always and previously the the Android worked fine...
Strange!!!
HELP
Please
You said you formatted your SD card, but did you repartition it? When WP7 is installed it consumes all but 200 MB of your SD card so if you try to reformat it, you will only have 200 MB free unless you repartition it.
Did you say you tried other SD cards? Also, are you running Android from the SD card via Haret from Windows Mobile? Or, are you running a NAND Android ROM?

1- Sure i repartitioned it at full size... wipe de partition, and format a new primary partition in fat32.
2- Android SD via Haret.
Thanks
Do you have Android SDK installed, so that you can run logcat and see what's happening?

Nope, don´t know how
Dont think it´s a problem with the Android SD builds, I tryed some diferent and the problem keeps there...
The problem must be with WP7, but now all is the same as before but Android don´t boot and I need Android but don´t want to but NAND on it right away because I like WINMO still...
Please help, I´m not the only one with this problem...
I get a cmd, black screen and some text, the last is...
"jumping to kernel (custom)"
And them it crashes on the green HTC BOOT SCREEN.

Try Task 29 via bootloader, flash stock HTC ROM, Reformat SD card on PC and then again on WinMo. Transfer files while in WinMo on SD card or via SDcard adapter, and try booting Android again.
Did you by any chance transfer files on SD card while in Magldr if so the files may be corrupted (known issue) which may explain the problem with kernel not booting up.
Hope this helps.
Sorry for hijacking but nobody will reply in my thread and I'm becoming impatient lol. Can anybody help me?
Hey guys. I'm currently running this ROM, I've been using it for a few days and have had no problems but today, when I turned the phone off and turned it back on, it took ages to turn back on. Then when it did it all looked them same but was kept freezing etc., then up in the notification bar it said "SD Card Removed Unexpectedly" then my phone went crazy with FC's.
So I took out the battery and restarted the phone. Then, it would turn on and go to the lock screen but then it would reboot and be at a continuius* boot loop of the HTC 'Quietly Brilliant' screen.
So then I took out the battery again, this time I took out the SD card too and booted up and my phone was normal again. Obviously with no phone storage though as there was SD card in. Then after I just skipped the setup I put my SD card back in to my phone and went to the music player and all my saved songs on my SD card played. But no internal storage (I have the SD card partitioned with a 1GB Ext3 partition). Then with the SD card in knowing it still works I rebooted again, only to come back to the HTC screen again.
So basically, how can I fix this?
If I'm going to need to format my SD card is there a way I can backup what's in the Ext3 partition?
Thanks,
L.

lrbpereira - I'm the guy that posted having the same results as you in your other thread (this one seems to be getting all the action, though). Just curious, which ROM are you trying? I've been trying Warrenbread's, but I'm thinking about trying another just to give it a shot.

Hi, i´m on Dutty´s 14 PTG. I tryed Energy and the result was the same...
I think it´s someting that WP7 installed on the phone memory... Don´t know why task29 don´t resolve it... But I can´t put the Android SD working...
And it´s seams that this is a problem that isn´t only mine... you - koz - have it too...

Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear - I was curious what Android ROM you were trying to run from SD. Have you found a solution to this yet? Did you try flashing back to a stock ROM, then HSPL & then try an android rom from SD? I'm considering giving this a shot, but I haven't had the time lately.
EDIT: I resolved my issue by reformatting the SD again (I've done it multiple times & multiple ways). This way worked for me. First, back up everything you want to keep from your SD card onto your PC. Download this & install on your PC: http://download.cnet.com/Partition-...62200.html?part=dl-6285158&subj=dl&tag=button . With SD card in the phone, connect to the PC in USB mass storage mode. Start Partion Wizard and format the card to FAT32 at 32kb and as a primary drive. After that, drag-n-drop your flavor of Android onto your SD and boot it up. Hope it works for you.
EDIT 2: After getting android running, I reinstalled all my files/folders back onto the SD card, however, this broke android again (I couldn't get it to boot from SD). So I tried turning it into airplane mode while running windows mobile - and it worked. I can now boot to android from SD as long as I first turn on airplane mode. So, I don't know if the above reformatting was part of it. If someone gives this a try, it might be good to turn on airplane mode and try to boot before attempting the above formatting info. Please post results if you try it and I'll try to edit the above.
I can't seem to get the NAND work properly.
Every step went well, but maybe I forgot something.
Once I flash the ROM I reboot it twice.
When I start marketplace and download apps, they disappear from the download list. They don't get downloaded at all. With another ROM I tried the download part works, but after the install the app doesn't seem to work. After a few times plugging in and out the USB I got an error about my SD-card being ReadOnly. Am I doing something wrong? I didn't manually make partitions or anything on the SD card, should I have done so?
Also I've noticed that after I put files on the SD card and unplug the phone from the PC, astro can't find the files. Really confusing
Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

First of let me tell you that I have never had this kind of problem neither I have heard about this problem. But one thing you can do is use Panasonic SD formatter (Free) to format your SD card. Do not mount your phone on the PC. In place of that remove SD card and use some kind of Card Reader to format the SD card from PC. Also keep Full Erase (ON) in the settings for formatting.
I would also recommend you to do Task29 before flashing new ROMS. After you do Task29 install radio (2.15.xxxx preferred), install MAGLDR 1.11 or 1.12(I would not install 1.13 which is released recently. Wait and watch for that version), After you perform these steps, you should install NAND ROM on your device. Also try and find the Rom which has more versions. What I mean is for newbs like us, we should try roms which have been tested by many other PROs. and also there are plenty of video tuts on how to install NAND rom. Follow them closely.
Here is a good tutorial that might help you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91mnfufny-Q&feature=player_embedded

I did exactly what you said, but I'm still having the same problem. After I installed the NAND rom I connected my phone to my pc and dragged some files on the SD. The phone didn't see any of them, so I took my SD out and formatted it. But now it's not recognizing my SD at all. I will try some other roms.
I had that problem some mounths ago. One day it was gone. i cant tell why
I have a similar problem. To work around it I remove the sd card and reset the phone with the red button under the battery cover. When it comes back up, i insert the sd card and all works normally.
Our problems arn't exactly the same but worth a go if it helps.
after a long search i found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11003567&postcount=2118
and the fix from ehsan worked !
no problem downloaden and no problems with the SD anymore! woohoo
The problem occured during using Android, I haven't tested it on WinMo yet.
I found similar post on forums, though it contained only a few posts.
So the problem is as follows:
When I run any demanding app, such as games (sometimes even contacts apps suffices) my phone does 2 things: either freezes or reboots (and then- freezes usually on lock screen, right after boot, most of times during "Preparing SD card" phase).
It is getting annoying, because now I can't use almost any power demanding app.
The problem started (firstly it occured rather small and not very often case) somewhere between switching from Mdeejay Rom after, You know, big brawl on forums, to Typhoon. And then I used cpu voltages script provided by Typhoon, even without overclocking device (only for battery saving). Yesterday I wiped every single part of data on the phone (formatting all disks, installing Clockwork again, not touching MAGLDR and HSPL and Radio though). Problem still occurs...
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help
When you said you formatted, How do you do it exactly?
To properly do a clean install you need to....
Device:
Task29 HD2
Install MAGLDR
Install Partition
Card:
Get Panasonic SDFormatter
Full format>Overwrite
Size Adjustment ON
It sounds like either your device is corrupt or your card, Do a clean install and try a different rom if that doesnt solve it try another card, If that doesnt solve it get a new HD2.
Do you think that warranty covers such problem? And is there any possiility my provider will find out I used Andro after restoring WinMo, 'cause it voids my warranty.
Hi,
I think I didn't post too often here but now I need your help.
I also did some searching first but in threads like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143949 I did not finy a good solution, yet.
I am owning a HD2 and used CoreDroid 1.6 till yesterday. I connected my phone via USB to my computer to load it and left office. When I came back, I noticed my phone was still on. I touched it but nothing happened. The surface was frozen. Not even the off-button showed any effect. Thus, I removed the battery, waited a bit and inserted it again.
Unfortunately the phone did not boot any more. Just hangs at the first "Coredroid Screen". I tested around and when I removed the SD card and rebooted again, it worked. I checked the card and it had some file system problems. Thus, I saved all data and formatted it. However, my HD2 did not boot also with any of the other SD cards I tested (no difference how it is formatted). The system starts booting from NANE and shows the first CoreDroid screen and then just angs.
Then I noticed, that it said after booting "internal memory is full" (I checked it: 0 kb free). I searched for the reason and I found in the internal memory root a folder /bin. Observing it I saw, that nearly ALL executables have a size of 1.5 MB. I am talking about the executables that usually have some few kB.
In panic mode, I used Task29 to completely clear NAND. Then I installed MAGLDR and the appropriate CWM for CoreDroid. I downloaded the newer version 1.7 and flashed it. Same result. Did not boot with SD card but without it worked. However, I had that strange /bin folder with only 1.5MB files. Then I used MAGLDR to clean the system partition again and installed 1.6 again but same problem. I also used not the CWM provided by CoreDroid but also the "generic" downloadable and changed settings accordingly. Same effect. I even tried a CWM with 400 MB system partition instead the proposed 390 MB but same effect. 0 Bytes free. I also tried the latest Hyperdroid and Cyanogen ROMs with the same effect.
So I wonder if there is some tool for "checking" the internal memory for possible problems? Resetting it with Task29 did not bring any benefit.
Hope someone can give me a hint what I would do in this case.
I've not checked but I seem to remember coredroid uses the SD ext for data and parts of the system, so its hardly surprising that removing or using a different SD card will stop it booting.
If you were able to boot magldr and reflash roms and install cwms, I think your internal memory should be fine.
Try flashing some other rom, preferably with no sense. I'd say hyperdroid, i remember it as quick and light.
It might be problem with your phone SD card reader hardware...

Thanks for your answers.
The strange thing is: it does not boot if ANY SD-card is inside. If I remove the SD-card, it at least boots. In other words: it boots as long as there is NO SD-card at all.
I must admin I prefer Coredroid since I think it supports many nice features like all the options when connecting it via USB cable (going online over computer connection, usb tethering, etc). However, on the weekend I try flashing again some other roms to check. Still I would like to check what is going on :/
Yeah, I believe you.
Just hope it's not a hardware problem...
