[Q] White screen at boot up

So ive looked around but can't find any threads that help me with this (please point me to some if there are!)
So i tried to flash my HD2 with this version of Android:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733649
I followed all the instructions to the letter (well, at least i think i did), and then after installing it in MAGLDR it says that it was successful. However, when i try to start it up, it boots to the white screen with the green HTC logo, and just stays there.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Have you flashed HSPL, and CWM with the appropriate partition size for this ROM? Since it's a Desire HD ROM, I'd imagine it takes a 400mb system partition.
Also have you flashed a compatible radio (XX.X.50.XX)?
How long did you wait for it to boot up?
Some of these ROMs can take up to 20 mins or more on their first boot.

How long have you left it to boot up? 15 mins is the max time.
If after 15 mins and it still doesnt boot, try reflash the cwm partition (the clockwork recovery image/CWM) he has in his thread, and then from the CWM, flash the rom again.

I have put on HSPL and the 400mb CWM partition
It has Radio version 2.15.50.14
Ive given it well over 30 minutes to work and it still stays on the same screen.

What method did you use to transfer the ROM .zip to your sd card?
Using MAGLDR's USB Mass Storage function sometimes corrupts files.
If you used this, then try either using an sd card reader, another device with USB mass storage functionality, or use CWM to transfer the files from your pc to your sd card.
Other than that, I dunno. Sounds like everything else is right

Clean Install
Do you use Task29?
Clean Install:
1. Use Task29 (1 or 2 times)
2. Download everything you need again (could be you have a bad download)
3. Flash a Radio Rom of your choice
4. Flash MAGLDR 1.13 or cLK bootloader (cLK is more native)
5. Flash clockworkmod recovery via MAGLDR USB Flasher
6. (partitionate your SD card if needed)
7. Transfer your ROM-Zip via clockworkmod in Mounts and Storeage(mount USB-Storeage)
8. Flash a Rom of your choice
That´s it. Hope you next try is a success.

[Q] Please help! problem with nand android on hd2

Hi
I have a big problem and don't know what is wrong
I was using ultimate droid on nand on my hd2,than i decided to flash shiftpda rom v33 from boyPPC and the problems started. i installed it from my sd card using cwm and when phone rebooted first time magldr said something about missing kernel file. then i tried to flash it again,did task 29 several times,installed magldr and everything again. but it kept saying about missing kernel file. and when i try to install it again cwm says 'installation aborted'. so i decided to flash it from pc with daf.exe. installation was successfull,but phone just reboots over and over again... looks like it will never stop rebooting. dont know what to do please help...

can it be due to wrong radio?

Can you explain the exact steps you made to install this Rom?

well i will explain what am i'm doing right now. i run task 29 and installed radio 2.15.50.14. after that i installed mgldr 1.13. and on mgldr booting screen it said "sd open kernel failed". after that mgldr menu appears. then i choose usb flasher and install rom from the computer. it says installation successful and phone reboots. after that i see mgldr booting screen and everything looks just fine,then i see HTC screen and phone reboots again...and again and again and again. if i will just put the phone on the table it will just keep rebooting forever ((( am i doing anything wrong? i shouldnt because its not the first rom i am installing...and what does that "sd open kernel failed" message mean??? (

1) First of all, boot into MAGLDR and go to services (option 10). Go to boot settings, Boot source and make sure Android from Nand is selected.
2) Unzip the Boyppc v33 package on your computer and install his CWR DAF package that is included with the rom (The boot loops could be due to having the wrong CWR partition)
3) Load CWR and manually wipe data/factory reset, Go into advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache. Once this is done try and reinstall the V33 zip that you said you had already copied to your SD card. Hope this solves the problem

I've had the same problem twice now. "sd open kernel failed" i believe is shown in red correct? all i did to fix it was reflash MAGLDR & Clockworkmod Recovery then reflash the ROM.
i wish i knew why it happened but its always when im going from 1 ROM to the next & not just restarting my phone up. im thinking maybe it was just a bad flash or something but the steps above has fixed it for me now both times.

try to install recovery and intall a ron throught ur sd card ... rom that r instaleed from daf r pretty simple but maybe the rom was corrumpted during the download or there's a missing file that's not flashed to ur phone ... i suggest to install recovery and to copy ur rom to sd ...it's much simple than the first way

HD2 problem with flashing CWM

Hi.
My friend has HTC HD2 and we wanted to flash CWM and new nadroid.
The phone has already HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR 1.13 and radio 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14.
In the phone there is android (Android 2.2, kernel 2.6.32.15 dirty cotulla, software number 2.29.405.5).
phone (in info): HTC Desire A8181
I tried flash CWM 150MB but:
1.) DAF doesn't work for me (error init USB). So I tried andr_install.exe, it worked and phone was connected
, but then it show message:
PARTITION LAYOUT NEW
Do you want to preserve data?
Press POWER to save it
Press GREEN to clear it
Press VOLDOWN to abandon flashing
I tried abandon flashing and I get error (something like can't clear partition)
We want to flash HyperDroid CM7.
So My question is, did I make something wrong?
Must I make repartition of MAGLDR befor flash CWM or CM?
I would to try HD2 NAND toolkit, but I looked, that it use also DAF.

I would try a full wipe (task29) in HD2 Toolkit.

But if it not work, we will have cleaned phone

Can I do this?
Repartition of MAGLDR to 150MB, catch 44MB.
Run CWM from SD card.
Install CWM from SD card to NAND (recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip)?

When you repartition, it installs cwm too.
Use the nand toolkit, put phone into magldr USB flasher, in nand toolkit select tye size you want, clik 'reaprtition' bottom left, hey presto partitions created and cwm installed. If you get connection errors click download drivers. (Alternate means of getting the correct drivers are - install 'myphoneexplorer ((also good cos it syncs with outlook)) or install the android sdk (Google for android USB drivers).
The reason you got the errors trying to flash cwm in post 1 is because the old method used to install your original rom doesn't create a recovery partition, so there's nowhere for cwm to install.

OK I will try it
I have already google drivers (from ADB)+HTC drivers (I have EVO 3D)+I installed windows mobile device center.
But andr_install.exe worked, so I hope that toolkit will work too
Thank you!

Android reflashed!
It worked really well, thank you!

don't boot MAGLDR

Hello, I suddenly stopped booting Android from MAGLDR.
Here's a sample you have any advice on solving this problem?
http://youtu.be/Oprz1CtMmF8

Recovery and boot lasts long enough, I also tried TASK29 and other things to clean up the phone, but the result is the same, just hope it's not worn ROM

what if you try to boot recovery or the rom? have you got the "fatal hit" problem?

Windows Mobile ROM work only problem is MAGLDR

I tried all the flash and Recovery and MAGLDR not help it.

But WP7 it works so the problem must be somewhere in recovery because I was working on the phone ROM which I stopped working, so I tried it again flash but will not start, I also tried a different ROM (Sense of Eclipse), but the course is the same.

if a rom breaks and you install a different one, dont forget you need to clerar out the ext partition on teh sd card, and also teh .android folder on the fat32 partition. It could be that something is left there that is preventing the android roms from working.
go into cwm and choose wipe data/factory reset, then flash the rom, then do a wipe data/factory reset again, just to be safe.

tried everything but the boot splash it on my screen freezes and nothing will not boot.

radio? magldr needs a tmous radio, 2.15.50 for example

maybe the system partition is too small.........

I have the EU version and I have radio 2.15 flash

So I have finally boot but where the problem really do not know.

[Q] I'm so confused, please help?

Hey,
I love my HD2, but the windows not so much.. I'm trying to put Android on it but I am too confused in how to do it.
I have looked into it for a few hours, but I have absolutely 0 knowledge about phones ): and I don't understand it.
Whenever I look in a thread for a guide, I get linked to another thread for another guide, another, and another. This goes from the rom, to a magldr, clk and hdsp and all those things.
Can anybody just tell me in what order to do these? I'll look up guides and such myself, but I have no idea which guide to follow first...
Thanks alot, Kevin.

Okay, here how it goes:
HSPL 2.08 & 2.15 Radio
Magldr
Recovery (such as CWM or TWRP)
Your ROM.
cLK
Recovery (such as CWM or TWRP)
Your ROM.
Radio 2.15 is not necessary, but you need a radio that supports MAGLDR. But 2.15 and 2.12 are the most popular.
So you should first install HSPL 2.08, after that install a radio. Then, choose a bootloader (either cLK or MAGLDR). Then flash a recovery (I recommend CWM 5.0.2.6 if you are willing to install to NAND.). Finally you flash the rom from within the recovery.
You can look for the differences between cLK and MAGLDR, but generally, the differences are:
MAGLDR:
*You can't charge the device while off.
*Supports RMNET Data connection (stable)
*Supports Windows Phone.
cLK:
*Supports charge while off.
*Supports recovery repartitioning without a PC.
*Uses PPP data connection. (Said to be fast, but it's unstable)

download - magldr, nand toolkit, hspl4, radio 2.15.50
into bootloader (stripey screen)
use hspl4 to set 2.08.hspl
into bootloader
flash magldr
into magldr - usb flasher
run nand toolkit - may need to hit the button marked drivers if you have trouble connection, , or install the PC app 'myphoneexplorer' (no need to run it) which also sets the correct drivers.
in the nand toolkit select the desired partition size (the rom you want to flash will tell you what size)
click magldr repartition
--- cwm is now installed
reboot - magldr - 8 ad recovery
cwm will now start
choose advanced - format sd - choose an ext size (512 or 1024 should be fine to get started, 2048 if you have a large card) - (This WILL delete the whole sdcard so backup anything you wanna save)
using an sd card reader, or cwm - mounts and storage - mount sd card to copy the rom.zip you wanna flash to the sd card
restart - magldr - 8 adrecovery - cwm - flash zip from sd card - choose zip from sd card - navigate to the rom.zip file and off you go.
reboot
done.
it should take less time than it took me to write that out, once you get the hang of it.

Thanks a bunch to both of you, really helpful

Oh nevermind, just took a while to boot
