[Q] HD2 will not boot. Help needed - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I got myself a HD2 the other day, and since i am a androidfan i wanted to get my HD into a droid rom.
This ended in a mobile not wanting to boot, got to the boot screen where i se the android sign and then it reboots. This goes on forever...
HSPL works (have tried different versions) so i can keep trying different roms, but all ends up rebooting the phone. Doesnt matter if i tryWindows 6.5, android or windows7 roms.
But another problem is that i dont know which Rom was my "original" rom, and i formatted the original sd card...
Hope one of you clebver guys have an answer and solution i can try out.
Here are som info that shows in the boot screen now:
R 2.15.50.14
G 15.42.50.50.11U
D 3.14.04666

How did you exactly try go get yourself 'into a Droid ROM'? From SD card or nand? What bootloader do you have? 2.08.Hspl or 2.08.0000? Just go in to Bootloader and flash a custom WinMo ROM or MAGLDR if you want to flash Android from NAND.

I have 2.08Hspl bootloader now.
Have tried with Magldr with no luck. Have tried both Sd and Nand version
Still no luck

I've tried several ROMs & each time they boot up wonderfully, whenever i encounter a problem..its usually cuz i either skipped a required step or didnt fully understand how to get that particular ROM working...So my advice 2 u is to follow the dev's instructions properly in order 2 minimize errors...feel free 2 try d build contained in my sig...With normal usage, i still squeeze out @least 30hrs+ out of my device(calls, msgs, wifi, data, sync, really low back-light, apps, games, etc)

Aaaahh!
Found the solution to my problem.
It was one of the battery contacts that was bent out.
Bent it back into place, and now the phone boots like a Dream
Let the android testing begin

I only suggested that to somebody else today and All! Haha.

If you want NAND version, you need hspl 2.08, magldr, and cwm in order to flash rom.

Nothing works

So I have 2 hd2 phones one of witch I'm able to run nand based android on just fine. The other one witch I installed everything on just the same has serious booting problems.
I install hspl3 and cwm onto it than flash android. Than it either freezes at cwm screen or loads android and freezes there. Sometimes it will repeatedly reboot. I've done both hard and soft resets, I've also reinstalled the original rom back on it with the same results.
Is there anything someone might suggest that can help me out, or should I trash the phone? Any help would be nice.
Also before flaming me I have done alot of research and nothing I read and try seems to work. That's why I decided to finally post asking for help

did you task29?
That is something I haven't done. Mostly because I don't even know what it is. Or how to do it.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It's like formatting the NAND storage, give you a clean plate with no residue left behind from previous flashes.

So i ran task 29 and i'm still having problems.. as of rightnow phone keeps getting stuck on the 3rd loading screen. rebooted the phone 3 of 4 times and still having the same issues
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Once you have run Taks29 you need to install a ROM, as task29 wipes the ROM area.
The best option is to flash a stock ROM (preferably not the 3.14 version, as you want to install Nandroid). Please make sure you do one allowed on your phone.
Once this is done, test the phone to make sure that there is no hardware issues.
It is advisable not to have the SD Card in the phone incase that could be faulty.

Stuck on "GO GO GO!" in AD Recovery.

I was able to successfully install CWM on one HD2 and is now running Android on it.
Well that HD2 the touch screen no longer work. So i purchase another HD2 and attempt to do the same, but once I install Recovery 150, I go to AD Recovery and I get stuck on "GO GO GO!" CWM won't load. Can anyone give me suggestion to what might be the problem.
What I have tried so far.
1. I reload HSPL3 to 2.08.HSPL
2. Flash Task29
3. Flash Radio 2.25.50.14
4. Flash MAGLDR 1.13
5. Flash Recovery 150MB
then when I boot in to AD Recovery I get stuck on GO GO GO!.
When I Flash 250 or 400 I get FATAL in red.
SO i attempt to flash the OEM T-MO rom it hang at 8% and crash. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I can get into the bootloader fine.

first off once you do HSPL you don't ever need to do it again, and the radio you flashed was 2.15.50.14? once you flash the radio you don't need to reflash it again, unless changing to a different one.
Now I would suggest to start back at task29,
then MGLDR 1.13,
redownload the partition in case of any corruption,
are you using win xp or 7?
if on win 7 right click on the daf and run as admin.
I know there's not much difference from what you said but maybe you have a corrupted download and it's messing things up.
Try using the toolkit, it does a really good job:
[2 Jun 11][v3.9] HD2 NAND Toolkit - All in one Toolkit for HD2 NAND Users
I'm using windows vista & i tried the HD2 NAND toolkit still the same result. :/
so i gave the freezer cooling theory a try and it works. Now I got another problem on hand i can only use the phone no more than 20-30 min at a time before it locks up.

i'm having exactly the same problem, i'm trying to install android because if i install the stock rom it stucks at the htc logo an when i install android it works for a few minutes but then it freezes
i've searched on google for it and they say that it can be a overheating problem
It was a touchscreen issue when i had this error. I had replaced the digitizer but the ribbon came loose during repair. If, when you boot to the tricolor screen (hold volume down + power), you dont see cotulla hspl 0x40 or 0x50 you have a touch screen problem.

Hi jimani, welcome to the forum. Please provide more information about your problem, which recovery? what size recovery partition? What have you tried? Hspl?
The more information you can give, the more likely someone will know what your problem is.

Hi Robbie,
Actually I tried every thing:
At the first time it was a touchscreen issue, I replaced it and try to reinstall the android rom; i used the toolkit 4.3 to flash.
1.HSPL3
2.WIPE(Task 29)
3.Radio-Leo-2.15.50.14
3.MAGLDR 1.13
4.Repartition 280MB for system, 5 for cash.
But when I tried to go in AD RECOVEY, my phone stuck 1234 GO,GO,GO.
I perform this steps on two htc hd2( one is T-Mobile) but no success.
Please help.

Hi Robbie,
Yes I installed hspl 2.08 using hspl3.
After DFT MAGLDR Boot loader is loaded I install the partition after that I go in ad recovery to load the Clockwork Mod Recovery then... stuck!
When I tried to boot from the sd card it's say : SD open kernel failed .
I don't know may be I'm mixing things. can you provide me a clear step by step doc?
Thanks in advance.
Justin.
Am at work now, have you tried using hd2 toolkit to install your nand recovery?
Else to use an SD recovery, you have to specify the folder that the zImage and initrd.gz files are in, using magldr ad SD dir, then boot from ad SD.

[Q] Problem with installing WP7

Ok guys this is really frustrating. I have Android ROM and I want to try WP7 ROM. But every-time I install any ROM I am either stuck on GO GO GO or afterwards I am stuck on white screen with green HTC logo in the middle. I performed task29 before installing anything. I suspect on my SD-Card( I have Kingston 4 GB Class 2), so I borrow another one-Transcend 8 GB Class 6. And again the same problem, WP7 is is stuck on GO GO GO or white screen with HTC logo. What can be the possible explanation here? Anyone?
TnX
it could be a number of things, ive found the best way is to start again. SD flash an original wm6 stock ROM, then install hspl 2.08 > radio 2.15 > magldr 1.13 > os
take you SD card and download SDformatter, format it again
try again.
note that both your cards may not work and if you search you will find all of this info
Tnx mate, but I do the procedure 4 times without success. I still suspect that the problem is with the SD-Cards. Today hopefully I will try with SanDisk 16 Gb class 6. From what I read SanDisk is most used. And if this failed, I will flash stock WinMo 6.5 and reinstall everything again.
TNx

I have the same problem. Flashing complete in 100% but i can't pass the HTC logo when it's booting.
This is not SD fault because I have another device which is running fine...
Did task29, flashed winmo6.5, radio, hspl, magldr 1.13...
One phone simply can run wp7 and another can't ?

dont do the task29
SD flash WM6.5, HSPL, radio, magldr, flash OS
oh i wouldnt go with a class 6, whilst some folk have had working ones many more havent got it working, class 2 or 4 is best, just because its a class 2 doesnt mean its slower than class 6, infact many folk, myself included believe the class 2 and 4 is quicker
Did exacly what u said.
WM6.5 --> HSPL --> radio --> magldr --> flash YukiXDA'a OS
htc logo stuck
As i said i have another hd2 which is running on wp7 for a week... ive done exacly same thing to the both of them and one is not working... Is there something else what i can do?

Hmm, so your saying thatyou have access to 2 HD2s, running/trying to run WP7 and that one of them works with the SD card but the other doesnt work with it?
Ok I forgot to replay that I did it . In my case there was no need for stock ROM. I just:
1. Did task29
2. Installed WinMo ROM (In my case Dutty's V25)
3. Install MAGLDR
4. Install Wp7 ROM...and it works

Yep. Im doing EXACLY same thing to the 2 devices. Using the same SD card. First phone is booting and working second is not.
Tried about 5 times (to both of 'em to be sure). I have enough. This just can’t be done. Don’t know why. Maybe there is something wrong with memory? IDK... but this is extremely frustrating.
Ziaren, Do you have 2 SD cards with your 2 HD2s?
Have you tried with both sd cards on your HD2 that has this trouble?
Just a thought.
Good luck

Girlfriends kills android roms everytime!

Dear xda users,
My Girlfriend got a HD2 and I installed Android on it.
She used SD versions but she kills them everytime.
After a month the phone got stock on boot screen.
Then i tried to install NAND Roms but after 2 months of smooth running the same problem again... (example: Coredroid, and sense roms)
I think that the problem is that when the phone freeze she pull the battery out and after a few times the phone won't boot anymore.
Followed all the noob friendly guides.
Followed all the instructions in the post of every rom.
Installed the recommed radio, MAGDLR, CMW, data partions that were in the instructions
Common problem on sense roms?
Should i try to install no sense rom?
(Got experience with Desire HD flashing and Touch pro 2)

It could be that with all the battery pulling, that the pins could be bent.
Make sure they are all straight.

I don't think it's hardware related.. Because i can boot in the MAGLDR without any problems.. But when i wan't to boot android it hangs on the coredroid boot logo
(This happends with all roms (sense) i tried so far)
Boot into magldr and re run the rom from there,cleare the caches firsr ot course
Then glue the battery in - buy a tazer and promise her a double dose if she pulls the battery again

ive seen a few posts where people have struggled with getting past boot logo, think it was fine after using a different partition in recovery but as your device is for the sd build am not quite sure how that works as Ive never had sd android or if having sd requires clockwork mod recovery? if so try different partition as i said earlier if not hang on till someone has the answer

haha great answer, my girlfriend doesn't touch my hd2 or she gets alot more than a double dose with the tazer method, HD2 is not the solution for a women... you take the hd2 of her and buy her a iphone surly they are women material.
Ignore Post
Problems almost always occur after a few weeks or months of use for me, just reflash the ROM, and you'll good to go.
removing the battery is not recommended, it can corrupt files on the sd-card. Try to boot without sd-card and see if it helps. If your ROM does boot, it means the SD card is corrupted, you can try to backup the SD card and restore it after completely wiping the sd-card.
If your rom doesn't boot, than it meant there's something else going on, maybe corrupted flash, so reflash and try again. This will delete all your data, so be careful
if your girlfriend is not an daily flasher also might i suggest using a daf build. All the configuration is done for you. if you are using a sd build from magldr than make sure you change the name of the build than edit the startup txt like this "rel_path=whatever you name the build(example: "rel_path=MIUIROM nand_boot=1") the 1 for magldr 0 for windows 6.5. the reason for me saying this is all android builds create a folder android when they boot up with all your info like data and cache is in there. So its best to separate the two just in case you want to boot up more than two builds from sd.
Same here.
could be a bad block in your NAND memory. you can check this with cLK and fastboot.
see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13600733&postcount=9
i checked mine and there was a bad block in the userdata. i think that is wy my phone was freezing.
now i have flashed cLK and untill now its working great!

$20 to walk me through Android REinstall

I had someone install Android direct to the phone (NAND), and wipe out Windows altogether. I'm trying to reprogram because after working fine for 5 months, the signal goes in and (totally) out randomly.
Sooooo, I've got root, aMAGLDR V1.3, Kernel 2.6.32.15, and I'm running ROM Manager...but I don't know what the hell I'm doing, really. Oh, and I downloaded some ROMs to my microSD.
And there's a catch. My USB port is totally loose now, so we need to do this without plugging in.
Is it possible?
If I boot into aMAGLDR, and I choose
1. Boot WPH, I get: WPH not installed
2. Boot AD SD, I get: SD Kernal Open Failed
3. Boot AD NAND, starts my old crappy ROM
4, 5, and 6 are USB (non)options
7. AD Hardreset: Do you want to erase all data? No, I don't.
8. AD Recovery: Invalid boot image header
9 Tetris: Press Enter to start, and then it doesn't start, and then I get sad.
If someone walks me through this (here, pm, Skype, Google Talk, Facebook, phone, whatever) I'll Paypal ya $20. If a bunch of people post the right answer, I'll split it, but don't fight over it. This is meant to be a fun little challenge, and a way for me to learn a little.
So, the race is on. Or is it?
You got magdlr installe. Do you have the recovery installed too? that would be the next thing you would have to flash and not to need a cable. the rest is easy and dont need a cable but you do need your sdcard. Being that you havent stated whether your phone is a eu model or a us model I will take the chance and say its the us model, next question is do you plan to use a ext partition of the sdcard? If you are then you need tpartition the sdcard from the recovery partition (CWR) after you have then you can copy the rom of your choice to the sdcard on your computer, then insert the sdcard into the phone and then flash the rom. if you dont plan to use an ext card, then skip that step and just copy thre rom onto the sdcard, flash and reboot.
A loose usb means nothing as long as it work thats all that matters, plus if the usb is loose then you have a bigger problem, how do you plan to recharge the phone?
U have milion solutions on forum for ur problems but if u really need help pm me i will give u skype or gtalk and I will most likely solve that for you cause i played a lot with my HD2

I use an external charger to recharge the batteries.
Can't use rom manager with magldr, if you run it it will break the cwm instal, and I suspect you already did hence "8 ad recovery" not working.
Rom manager now works with magldr hd2. U can flash recovery. And in turn flash rom to nand.

It covers clk, recovery everything. No usb needed.
The only thing is once you boot into recovery go to mounts and format all that has a format option. After you format everything,power down remover sd card and transfer your rom onto it. Then power back on and boot into recovery again and flash rom, reboot and enjoy !

Not only does this appear to be a rather rude response (don't know if that's what you intended) but this is also a rather pointless thread. There are countless guides on how to install NAND Android (my favourite being this one) and if you had done any research you would have known beforehand that ROM Manager and MAGLDR don't work well together. I really don't know what showlyshah means when he says that ROM Manager now supports MAGLDR because as far as I know it isn't true and there would be loads of threads about it.
It's not a rude at all. I've done tons of research on these forums.
The problem lies in the fact that those of us who are not programmers don't have a base level of knowledge that is assumed in these forums. Couple that with all the acronyms that are new to us, and it's a puzzle to figure this stuff out.
Every time I program a new device I say, AHHHH! That was sooooo easy...once I knew the steps. Until then, it's impossible.
Have u do it or not ?
Here's where I'm at. I followed that guide. THANK YOU so much-I hadn't seen that one before.
I tried to install a ROM after I installed clk, and got stuck in a loop. At least I'm gettting a different result.
I've started over, and I've got CLK on the phone now. Now, Which ROM should I install?
Thanks for your help.
Updated update.
The rom I tried to install is HyperDroid-CM7-Licking-Lobster-v5.6.0-cLK-signed
When I started my phone, it just goes back and forth between a screen with an "H" on a twirling cube, and that splashing into the Android dude...and splashing back. Left it for 45 minutes.
Now, clk says it installs, but when I start, I'm back to the Android/H loop.
Like I said, I need someone to walk me through this.
Reinstalled. Same loop. Trying the Nexus Rom.
If I try to boot through HBoot to NAND I get:
Normal boot ...
ERROR: Invalid boot image heador
R u using the correct model(EU or tmobile)?

t mobile USA cut their own deal with HTC, to make a hd2 with double internal rom and a little more ram. (And in teh process gave their customers a device with an insta-kill switch, which they no doubt regretted when thousands were returned bricked in teh first few months of release)
if your hd2 has red+green end+send keys, and says 't mobile' beneath the earpiece, its a 'tmous' (T MObile US) which is slightly different to teh rest of teh worlds hd2's.
If you have white keys,you have a regular hd2.
