[Q] Frozen on first bootup of all Android SD ROM's - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Whenever I try to boot up an Android SD ROM through MAGLDR, it all seems to go right until it gets to the lock screen and then, the phone freezes. Always in the same spot where I can see the wallpaper, the date and time, the No Service sign and "Preparing SD card" on the status bar on top. This same thing happens with all ROM's, so it's not ROM specific. Also, I have had a ROM installed since before this started happening and that one runs fine. It's only new ones as they try to boot up for the first time.
I was wondering if anyone has any idea of what could be causing this and how I can fix it without having to repartition the entire SD card again, reinstall WP7, etc. That's a lot of work. I have even tried formatting the partition and that didn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Solution
For anyone else having this problem, my solution was to DELETE (formatting wasn't enough) the Android partition, then recreating it and then installing my ROM. That way, I did not mess up the WP7 installation.

[Q] Android.Process.Media FC Issue

I am running CM6 (with no bugs) and when I go to flash a different ROM after going through the splash screen when the phone is about to load and installing last bit, the message "android.process.media..." FC happens. I have looked and looked through XDA for a fix but have yet to find one.
I have rebooted after full wipe, no SD Card, wiping the SD Card etc. all to no avail.
As a note- the only reason I was going to flash a different ROM was to check 4G speeds in SF.
Does anyone know what is causing this?

Not exactly sure why it does this except knowing it doesnt happen when you start your device with the sd card out. I've had the same problem that I was finally able to fix.
Just nandroid backup your phone, wipe everything (Factory wipe/dalvik etc) and nandroid restore.
I tried every other thing imaginable and finally this fixed it as my last resort.
I'm happy I found this out as I was always having to nandroid back to an old backup every other month or so as once this starts FC'ing I'd never been able to make it stop without a full reload of the rom or nandroid restore...

[Q] SD Partition problem

I decided to partition my SD card today because i needed more space for my apps. I used ROM Manager to do the work. Everything went fine until it booted up. Now I'm stuck on the HTC screen. I read that the boot takes a while but I've been waiting for over an hour. I've also tried to pull the battery out and restart but I'm still stuck on that same screen. Anyone know how to fix this?
I do have this problem. I have to remove the SD card in order to boot successfully and reformat it to FAT32.
what rom you use?
I used to flash whitetigerdk v0.4 and got that problem but now I downgrade to v0.3 and problem's gone

[Q] Problems with installing AmericanDroid & Mskip AL

So I tried to install Mskip AL v6 and AmericanDroid for a dual boot system.
The installation seemed to go fine (my radio was fine, and was going from the stock tmob ROM), I launched the HATRED and CLRAD within WM, I selected the options I wanted for the loader, it performed the restart and the screen went to black with the green HTC logo.
It never went any further than that.
I left it for an hour, still no change. I pulled the battery, and restarted the phone.
I got bunch of errors about tray.app not being able to start, and then some about trusted certificates.
SO I try to install again, and can't install anything, because I get the trusted cerificates/or one of the components missing etc.
Can anyone help?!?!
I've tried the security disable cabs on here, but they can't be installed due to the above problem.
Does the phone need to be unlocked first? Do I need to install something else first like HSPL?
And before anyone suggests it, no I don't want to go full NAND yet as I want to be able to check out Android on the hd2 before making the full jump.
Thanks!
Mskip loader has nothing to do with your problem, it just simplifies running clrcad and haret from android folder (which you can do by yourself from file manager),
the black screen with htc logo means the AmericanDroid loading started, then something stops (don't know what) - I'd suggest checking this thread for possible clues,

Problem installing WP7

I know there is similars topics, but I want to describe my problem as somebody may have an answer for me.
I have tried many times installing WP7. WM (official) was working well, some WM custom roms bugged sometime.
I tried to install WP7, first flashing the ROM, there everything is OK.
If I have a SDcard, and if I reboot the phone, the phone starts, then when it gets to the start screen it freezes after 1 second (and the contact tile is still working for few seconds)
If I don't have a SDCard, the phone works well. But I can't use it with Zune, because it says it is a test phone or it is not well connected.
So as I saw there may be driver issues with the SDcard, I have tried the CAB method update.
I can install the 7403 version without problem, but I can't install the 7661 version without plugging the SDcard, because it says I don't have enough storage.
* 1st question: How do I know if the 500M storage capacity is unlocked?
Ok, so I have put the SDCard, done a hard reset from settings and launched the 2nd set of update to 7661 (why? just to be sure everything goes well... As it does not work all the time, I prefer to go step by step instead of going straight to 7720).
The update is OK, but now I can't go to 7720 anymore, because it says my storage is full (the card is recognized in settings, so I have 7Go available)
Ok, I restart the phone... Frozen again after booting.
It is really strange because the system is still working (some animations, the battery hiding, ...) but it becomes unresponsive.
Sometimes when I restart it doesn't freeze, but I don't know why or when it does.
Do you have any idea about what can I do?
I have tried 2 sdcards sandisk 8 and 16GB, it is EXACTLY the same. So it is probably more a problem coming either from the phone (card reader??) or the way I install (I cannot format the SD anymore because it is undetected under win, I don't have any nokia with sdcard phones, and don't have any linux installed, nor CD reader, so I haven't tried killdisk
I bought my phone in december 2009, 1 or 2 months after its release, so it is getting old, but I would prefer to keep it for at least 4 more months!
The last 2 months have been a real pain so I am really looking for a solution!
Hehe, after many many many tries, I finally got my fresh Mango!!
Everything is working well, with the same hardware, same sdcard, don't understand why but it works!
I have set all accounts possibles to be sure this time it won't bug. It seems to work!
I just have to send 1Gig of MP3 to be sure, take few more picture, and it should be ok!
So gooooooood
Anyway, Mango is much much better than initial WP7! Almost everything missing in WP7 is in 7.5!
What did I do? hum... Nothing special, just many times the same thing:
flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing
then...
flashing WM6.5 ROM (with SD)
flashing magldr
flashing Radio (or maybe not??)
flashing WP7 (with SD)
flashing deviceprovisioning
setting time
flashing to 7392
RESET because lack of space? or maybe it was the time before?
flashing to 7720
reset
playing with the phone
being happy and relaxed
I am playing alone here, but if someone comes:
Everything works, everything BUT zune...
I cannot connect my device to Zune, it is not recognized I don't know why, it has never been (maybe once, but long time ago, many flashes since!)
So if somebody knows what could be wrong... (my device time is set right, same as my computer)
"Can't connect to your phone. Disconnect it, restart it, then try connecting again"... always.
I got a "your phone is synced, disconnect to see the content" because i was on the marketplace, but nothing on the computer!
If I can't get it working, is there a way to send MP3s to it without Zune?
Well I see you got the problem solved, but just I case others come across the same issue, you remove the SD card before going to WP7 and update as far as U can with Zune, then update as far as U can with cabs. I think update 7463 requires an SD card so format it using windows and insert it and continue updating. From my understanding, it is something to do with the way WP7 treats SD cards and locks them and at some point its like the SD card gets forgotten so when U try to update, the card is locked so cannot be used. Look at xboxmod/yuki updatable wp7 v2 and there is also a cab to unlock the SD card as well as update cabs and some other useful stuff. There is a very good install guide. Oh and FYI, there is also a 1 shot update to go from 7004 to 7720 mango RTM. Takes about an hour to do but much easier.
Thanks, but... Being able to use mango, I won't flash anymore, it has been too painful to reach that!!
I have never been able to update with Zune, because it has never been recognized well. I have been able to update with cabs, hoping that would resolve itself with updates, but still have the same pb, can't connect to Zune...
My plan is to upload photos using skydrive, and put MP3 via... another way, I just have to find it!

HD2 hangs on htc screen from rom on boot

Hi guys sorry if this is in the wrong place, i'm new on here and have read loads of the threads on my problem but so far no luck. Firstly the spec of my phone:
Unbranded HTC HD2
SPL-2.08.HSPL
magldr v1.13
Backed up everything a few days ago and now on trying to use that backup the new kernel I have flashed doesn't agree with the backup and doesn't go any further.
What i'm trying to do is flash JellyBean to the phone as the original stock rom was getting unstable but now i'm beginning to think it may be the hardware thats unstable.
Anyway what i've done is factory reset, wipe cache, partition sd card, 32mb and 512mb I've tried installing the rom and kernel on NAND only, that is fine up until the htc boot screen with the rusty android robot and then hangs and reboots.
I've tried SD card only and that only gets to go go go and then stops.
I've tried NAND and SD card and that gets to rusty robot and hangs and reboots.
My battery is fully charged.
Just incase its of any use the reason why i wanted to update was that the wifi had stopped working and occasionally the phone would hang on the android robot and reboot for no reason, I found removing the SD solved the problem. Thought it may be the same here so i removed the SD card on the NAND attempt but that didn't change a thing.
Help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Dan
