Morning All
After having lived with winmo for 17 months and becoming jealous of my wifes new desire, I had a go at installing Android (SD) following the instructions I found exactly.
Installed EBL2.1a._plusubuntu.cab to device
Installed MsKip_Android_Loader V6 Final.cab fine
Then extracted copeNwarren_030511 and copied it to my freshly formatted 16Gb microSD in to a folder called "Android".
Entered Andriod Loader and pointed it at my Android folder and then hit the Load button and selected Android, which it (eventually) ran and it worked fine (managed to log in to FB, google account, and tried to download some apps from Marketplace - which downloaded but wouldnt run). So I then restarted . . . . and things went wrong.
My boot loader doesnt work any more and simply says that "file cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate . . . "
Tried re-installing - wouldnt run for the same reason. Tried un-installing and says it could not completely remove it.
Then I read that I needed to crack my phone with HSPL. I had 3.03 and used HSPL to go back to 2.08. None of which worked.
WinMo is working fine - except that the screen after 0.5secs of inactivity goes into energy saver mode which is annoying as hell!
Have decided that I would ideally like Win7 and Android dual booting off 16Gb SD and have the option of original winmo6.5.3 still on the device.
Could anyone point me in the right direction!?!?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
i try to install Android.
I got a card that is working now and installed a package from here:
http://rapidshare.com/users/LJZGS9
I also followed the instructions there.
Its booting although i miss the text "Press VolDn to launch the installer" (step 3 in that tutorial).
Android is booting well and i see the screen with the slider to unlock.
When i drag that down i can see the top menu with battery-symbol for a few seconds.
Then i just see a screen with an HTC logo. But i can not do anything else. No button is working except the power button. If i use that i get back to the unlock-screen...
What am i doing wrong?
Is there a full package with Android 2.1 available for the blackstone? Like just extract and run for idiots, like me
Thanks

not yet a FULLY working package, thing like camera are still not working, but I'm sure it will come in time and the Blackstone will be reborn!
So far the most stable version I have used is the one found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621498
It installs via a cab file or from a ZIP and run VERY quick.
i prepared the espresso build in the rs link list as "ready-to-use" for blackstone.
- download
- extract onto sd card
- run haret.exe
- wait 5-10 minutes until its finished and it should run quite smooth.
out of curiosity, are you guys using a sd card with anything else on it (like files from winmo) or do you use it for the sole purpose of booting android. because when i run it, its sluggish.

I formatted the card to FAT32 and installed the xdandroid ECLAIR build (2.1c) to the SD card, then copied back on my WinMo files so I can still use both OS's.
The XDANDROID build does not require a partitioned SD card to work and auto configures for Blackstone (as well as other devices).
i am having trouble booting android up the second time on my phone on all the android builds. when i put them on my sd card and run them the 1st time works good. then when i switch back to windows and try to boot up android again it stays stuck on the boot up screen says something bout unable to unzip rootfs.
make a folder called Android on the root of the SD Card and put all the files in the folder
thanks woked perfect
thanks worked perfect now just have robot voice and music is fast
Try Cortulas non-speedy zimage for music issue. And sadly, the only way I found to get rid of robot voice (and I tried 'em all) is to use a windows rom with base 2.10.** - Chucky's for example
Good Luck
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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8264796
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 everyone i am currently trying to install android 3.2 on my htc hd2 and the steps i am following are to copy the android folder to the root of my sd card and then once i have done this then to tap on the CLRCAD file then tap the haret file then a loading bar comes up then goes to a black screen and in small writing in the top left hand corner it says
haret boot
shutting down hardware
turning off mmu...
in preloader
psr=600000df
tags preloaded to 0x11b00100 (size 0x0000f00)
kernel relocated to 0x11b0b000 (size0x0023f12c)
initrd relocated to 0x12200000 (size 0x001d0137)
jumping to kernel...
i have repeated this process a dozen times to ensure that i have not missed anything out last nite i made sure that the battery was fully charged and also i updated my rom from the htc website to the latest version as i have read that some people cant get android working at all unless they did this. i did the process until i got the black screen again and left it all night thinking that it may take a long timer as it is the first time i have ever tried loading android but i woke up and the screen was still there i am not sure what i have done wrong i have watched videos on youtube and read forums but no one else seems to have had this problem any help would be greatly appriciated thanks
i have just tried to boot an older version of froyo android the 2.2v i got past the first black screen and it went to the black screen where the white writing starts to scroll down the the writing faded into white lines what am i doing wrong
back up your sdcard contents to your computer.
format it, preferably from a linux box. if your stuck with win-blows, then you can do a full format, not the quick format.
now put JUST THE ANDROID folder on the sdcard.
put sdcard in phone, boot into android. when it boots, dont do ANYTHING for 5 min. reboot.
once it reboots, goahead and log in, synch etc.... then reboot
after that you can coppy the rest of the sdcard contents back over and be good to go.
which winmo rom, radio rom, and android build are u using?
i am using the darkstone froyo 3.7 build i am not sure what radio is or which one i am using i will try what you have suggested and let you know how it goes
right i formated (full) the sd car using windows vista the only way i could do this is plugging my phone into my laptop using the usb and formatting it that way
then i copied just the android folder to my sd card
rebooted the phone and went to file explorer opened the android folder doulbe clicked on clrcad then on haret
i was then stuck on the screen that i was before so i waited 5 mins just like you said to rebooted the phone and it was still on windows.
i repeated the same steps and waited ten minutes still no luck
also just so i understand after i waited five minutes should i be able to reboot the phone i do i have to pull the battery out like i did and where you put (when it reboots login etc)
is there any way you could email me a file to see if it is the files i am using
thanks for all you help so far guys!!!!
i am from th UK i dont know if that makes a difference
i have a 2gb sd card
i have just done some research on the radio versions and round a thread called master radio for the htc hd2 on xda but i am unsure which one to use and could this be the root of my problem thanks again
OS version 8.2.2.1869(21869.5.0.82)
manila version 2.5.20121429.0
ROM version 1.72.206 (8637200) WWE
ROM date 04/15/10
radio version 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol version 15.32.50.07U
i have just done a bit more research and found out that i need to use a .50 for flashing could this be a problem if i dont could this be th root of my problem
very big part I'd say.... It does say on just about EVERY build that you need a .50 radio NOT a .51....

no, depending on the class (speed) of your card it'll take 15-20 min to initalize on the first boot... theres alot going on in the background.
once its booted...ie: once it shows the initial android log in screen. ie: it has actualy booted into android.
if you pull the battery in the middle of the first boot, you just corupted the data it was writing.
format the card again - get rid of the corupted files.
now start over.
and yes, you got to have the corect radio installed etc.
most roms have a requirements list... if not folow the stickies.
as ive stated a ton of times in a ton of thereads, its worth installing ether droid explorer or adb on your pc if for no other reason but to be able to run a logcat so you can watch it run comandline, aswell as post it so others can help you debug/troubleshoot.
I have the same issue with linux showing that message then it boots up a green htc sign and stays there.. i left it there for 40 minutes waiting to see if anything would happen and never did. I had android running before but did a full format on my sd card and then installed another and this happens everytime i try.
I am running Miri_Dinik- V 19.0 WWE
Radio: 2.15.50.14
I also am using the 16g sd card that came with my tmo hd2
i have been searching for days for an answer and decided to finally make a post to see if i can get any answers
thanks
So ive been going through a few different SD builds for my HTC HD2. and all of a sudden the last 3 dont load past the HTC loading screen. right now im trying to get the newest MCCM GB sense build i think its 1.8 going. but they all freeze. some people said it takes about 20 mins to get up and running, but i wait 30-60 mins and it stays there. Maybe i deleted a folder that allows it to boot up properly? help please!
bump for help
Please help!
Did you add the relevant directory and boot type to the "set cmdline=" line of startup.txt?
Considering i have no idea what that is. probably not. but ive never added that before and ive always been able to boot android up on the first try.
Heres a basic play b play
I load up my phone (WM)
i go to my file explorer, sd card, and android. i do my sound (clrclad or w/e) and then run Haret.exe. it starts up, black screen says booting from kernel, and it goes to HTC logo. and stays there.
If you have copied the ROM to SD in a folder called "Android" to boot from SD then you would add "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0" in quotes to the line "set cmd_line=" in startup.txt in the Android directory.
Yeah... its already in there....
Got the same problem today! Tried several different SD builds with no luck. Now on darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 it restarts the phone after the green logo...
It might be a bat sd card format or maybe because i tried to do a task29 several times without success
Got it working
Flash a normal HSPL - 2.08 and unplug from USB while performing first HARET start!
