Android Problems

Alright, I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I have tried multiple custom roms, extracted the Android roms to /sdcard/Android and to just /sdcard, used SD formatter to re-format SD card. Tried 2GB, 8GB and the stock 16GB card and I can't get Android to boot. I get the text scrolling, then it just stops and hangs and the last line is "usb: product_id=0xff9
I'm beginning to wonder if I have a flaky handset since battery life on WinMO is horrid even with a new battery. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I haven't been able to find any posts stating the same problems I'm having.

I have had that problem with most of the builds of android I have tried. It will boot up one time then never boot again unless I remove android completely and drop it fresh back on the device. I also tried all the things you did and it wouldn't work still. I gave up android. I didnt really care for it anyway, was really only wanting it for a couple of apps but couldnt deal with the frustration.

It would be different if I was able to get Android to run even once.

We could help you figure out your problem if you post your radio, rom, build etc...

PROBLEM SOLVED
flash a 2.13 ROM flash the 2.12 RADIO
format you're SD CARD, select the highest allocation size, remove the "quick format" check mark (it should take like 40 mins to format)
download the 2.1Darkstone Android and place it in the ROOT of your SD card
start ANDROID and give it like 20 mins at the most and it should boot up just fine.
THIS had been answer at least 4 times already, search better next time.
IF YOU HAVE TRY'DE THIS EXACT SAME INST and you still can't boot up, PM.

[Q] Major troubles

ive got an htc hd2 leo im running the droid rom radio 2.15, for a bout a week now i cannot get any android build to run on my fone ive done a full format, full memory wipe on my fone put android folder on sd card clicked the 2 buttons, my screen launches into the green htc screen and just stays there, ive had this problem now for everybuild ive tried, i was thinking mabye me sd card if fried can anyone help please, im using shubcraft 2.0 rom

try using chuckydroid windows mobile rom. This one includes an android auto boot prog.

and it will sit on the htc screen for a good few min. just leave it for about 15 min. and see what happens. if it's your first time loading the build it has to build the data.img

Help please on booting android on my phone.

I have tried to boot the android on my hd2 but no luck. I currently have the 3.14 stock ROM. can anyone help please.

You have to be more specific,
What Radio do you have ? (Since you're using 3.14 I assume it's 2.15 )
Which build are you trying to boot ?
What happens or what stops you from booting ? (what's the problem ?)

It does work with 3.14, as that comes a suitable radio, which is the only important factor. It may be your sd card that is at fault.
What size, class and make is your card?

ROM 3.14.531.1
Radio 2.15.50.14
Flash memory size 1024 MB
Sandisk micro SD card 16Gb (2)
Thanks guys

Okay, there is nothing wrong with that setup. Can you tell us what you did to try Android and what happened?

i download the android build (coredroid) made a folder called (android) copied it to my sd card ROOT. went to my phone and click file explorer, hit cld, hit haret..... wait and nothing but a blank screen with HTC logo in the middle. i waited for as long as I can but no luck. I even left it last night all night like that.

hmm im having the exact same issue.. odd odd
Radio v. 2.08.50.08_2
rom v. 2.10.531.1

Check startup.txt and make sure it has Android as the path. I don’t know why, but some of them don’t.
If that's okay then either try a different build or ask on the thread where you downloaded it.

[Q] HD2 Not booting up and tried 12 diff roms

Everytime.. I format my sd, download a build, extraxt to desktop, mount to root of sd, run clrcad and haret, And all i get is a 'jumping to kernal (custom) and freezes or just a frozen htc screen.or a boot loop.. I am running a energy rom for windows someone plz help

Ok by 'mount to root of sd', do you mean that you're putting the Android folder at the root of your sd, or you are taking everything that's inside the Android folder to the root of your sd?
The folder itsself goes to the root of your sd card, with all the files such as zImage, Haret, etc. inside of it.
Other than that, are you using a launcher like Exceller's or anything, or are you launching by tapping CLRCAD and Haret in your file explorer?
Try it from file explorer til you get the build up and running a good couple of times.
Is your radio a XXX.XX.50.XXX radio, or is it a XXX.XX.51 ?
You need a 50. (2.08 and up) To check, boot your phone up and look at the little red info down in the corner as it boots up. The radio is next to the 'R'
If you already have all these things correct, I would say to try a new sd card.
Hope this helps, good luck

You have to flash a working radio version first

please read this , who knows maybe u can help me >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10062275

Format your SD card in WinMo by the way, seems to be more effectice.

What radio do you have? It's the most obvious thing that would cause this problem and you haven't told us yet.

thanks for help everyone turns out my sd card was messed up from all the formatting i guess... Bought a new sd and im back in business.. Life sucked without android **** windows mobile lol

[Q] Why wont my HD2 Accept ANYTHING?

Hi,
I have been on this forum for the past 2-3 days trying to get android on my gf's HD2 and it just wont have it.
I have tried MCCM's HD v4 Desire one
I have tried Froyo 1.5
I have tried DL Desire Series, both SD and MAGLAR.
The ones where you click CLRCAD.exe then haret.exe either say it doesent have certificates to run or parts are missing. Or it goes to a black scree and gets stuck on "Jumping To Kernel" and it stays like that for ages (tested for 1 hour, never budged)
The DL desire series via MAGLAR wont work either, I need HSPL (sp?) to install MAGLAR but HSPL keeps reporting back that the file Rapi.dll is missing.
My SPL version is 1.42**** so technically thats right ( from what I have read )
I have tried formatting the SD card via PC and device, also tried a factory reset and an additional 2 other SD cards. Still nada.
What else can it be? Someone mentioned the radio but there is so many questions being asked in a specific thread that mine gets lost and since this is more of a global issue I thought a thread of its own is deserved
I really want this and will go to any length to get it ( not keen on ROM flashing thought, would like to avoid turning the handset into a hammer rather than a phone)
Hope I havent busted any rules
Cheers,
Gib

You need radio 2.14 or more for Android.
aka, upgrade your ROM.

You are not alone
You are not alone here.
I have been having this problem too, I get stuck on the HTC white screen. though I haven't tried much ROM but I have tried formating and reflahing of my WM ROM.
I once did a stock ROM official update with: (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2 .15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship)
ever since I have not been able to find how to flash using SPL, I have been flashing using SSPL_RU and my radio is 2.15.50.14.
Could this reason be the problem.
I need help please I want to have a feel of droid.

Know the feeling
I have been trying all the different android magldr sd roms and everytime its the same story. First boot fine. Second boot and on it just hangs at the green htc logo. I have tried so many things i don't know what to do next.

Have you tried one of the Energy ROM's? I found on my unlocked HD2 that these were the only roms (going back a while now) that I could get Android running off an SD card. I've since heard that there is a basically blank rom for people who want to run nothing but android. It's a small rom, only about 30mb.
It's in a few places around the board. I can't remember what the name of that one is off the top of my head, but any of the Energy series, or the Miri ROM's apparently work too.
Good luck!

Solution!
Instructions :
- Download the Android SD version of your choice. Unzip, Extract the 'Android' folder to root of your SD Card. (Make sure to Format the SD card before doing this.)
- After you have done all steps go into Android folder and tap CLRCAD (for working sound), and after that just tap HaRET
-Booting ..
-Enjoy

Ater trying some nand roms i came back to the orignal firmware( the same as you).
And i also have this problem , it just load into a picture with htc on it.

Have you tried using a different SD card? My Sandisk 8gb didn't accept anything. I had an old 512mb laying around that came with my E90, loaded SuperRAM on it (aprox 450mb including data.img) and it booted straight away.

2.15.50.* is the right radio for most SD builds, make sure you have enough free space on SD. most builds have at least 512mb if not 1gb data.img which gets created when first boot. If runs out of space it will get stuck on boot screen. No hspl required with 3.14 HTC winmo rom

I also try to get Android in my HD2 (energy ROM). I am somewhat puzzled however: I want to flick back and forth between WM and Android and many programs I have reside onto my SD card. I have read in an earlier post that before attempting Android I should format my card - does this mean that I cannot have WM data (programs etc) in the same SD card I run android? or that I can transfer them back AFTER I manage (if) to load Android?. Thank you

The SD card has to be formatted in FAT32. Just to make sure the card is clean I copy all my data to my pc, format the card and transfer it all back.

OK thank you - got it!

Unfortunately I cannot get passed the green HTC splash screen - my HD2 stays there for time no end and the only solution is to take battery out. Any suggestions?

Assuming you've got everything set up properly (right radio, hspl, ...) which you can find on the Android forum. I think you'll have to try using a different brand of sd card. Some cards simply don't play nice with Android.

Got uber annoyed with the SD method, just ended up doing a full scale flash to ROM. Was easier lol

I am using Energy ROM (Energy Serie: Energy.Leo.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.12)
My phone just hangs on the white HTC screen when I try to boot into Android from the SD card. I flashed my ROM with SSPL_RU after an update with the Stock ROM (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship)

ehh

I would almost agree with that except, i have 2 exactly the same 16 gb cards, each with a 3 gb fat32 primary partition. 1 loads android but wont allow me to do things like take pictures[it says there isn't an sd card.] The second card just hangs at the green htc screen. Even if I copy the working partition to the other card, it still hangs.

Thanks for this Info. I didn't take into consideration that the file will be enlarged during booting. The copied Android folder was 508MB in size but this got enlarged to about 1.3GB during boot up. I thought if I just leave about 1.2GB in all the SD card I have been trying that it should be enough. But I was wrong.
Thanks a lot I have done multiple reboot without any problem.
I am enjoying my first Android feel.
Thanks once again.

Android on HD2 hates most SD Cards
From my own limited experience to also having read many posts I can say that most sd cards prevent Android from running properly on the hd2. Mine works fine with radio 2.14/2.15 and the stock Sandisk 16gb card that came with my tmous hd2, but I recently tried a wintec 16gb card that made Android run like a broke-wheel-cart and other sd cards I have laying around make it fail.
I think everyone needs to add what card they are using to their signature, or else we might all just end up howling in the wind.
Based on some feedback from another post I just ordered this Sandisk 16gb card from Newegg. It is Model # SDSDQ-016G-A11M . It is reported that that model# provides class10 speeds even though it is sold as a class2. It's use with Android is supposed to be good.
