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?

Radio 2.15.50.14

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] How to backup my current state (ROM)

Hello,
Wonder if you could help me with this:
I have a brand new stock LEO (512mb version). I would like to flash to WP7, but I would like to have the option to revert to exactly the same state as now (for warrenty).
My rom is a custom Orange Israel ROM, which I doubth will be available for downloading, so is there a way to back it up now so I could reflash it later?
Is there something like NANDROID for leo?
Also, what does this says to you:
"boots WPH from nand"?
Does WPH means windows phone? does NAND means that backup solution for android? what does it have to do with booting?
Thanks

1) You cannot dump your original ROM as backup
2) Please check here if you find your original ROM: Click!
(Since you didn´t mention the version, I couldn´t check)
3) Ask Orange if there is a download link for your ROM
4) Yes, there are Android NAND ROMs for HD2, check the HD2 Android section
5) WPH most probably means Windows Phone 7, another option for HD2
6) NAND means the internal flash memory of your device, where your ROM is stored.
After first and secondary bootloaders, this is where the phone loads the operating system. In a broad view, comparable to the BIOS of a PC (bootloader) and the internal harddisk (NAND) where the OS (and much more) is stored.

Hi thanks alot for your answer, but I'm still confused.
As I Understand, MAGLDR is something that lets me load an OS from SD, instead of from the actual, phisical ROM. right?
In tutorials that I have read, it says that MAGLDR is a requirement for the WP7 port. So it means that the WP7 OS is loaded from SD?
How does it sattles with the following thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966435
(in which someone asks if WP7 can be ran from SD and is answered negatively)
Thanks is advance

MAGLDR actually makes your HD2 capable of running WP7 or Android from the NAND memory instead of WinMo 6.5 - and an optional operating system from SD memory.
Considering it this way, you were right, except you mixed up SD card and NAND.
Some people want to run 2 operating systems on their HD2 - MAGLDR makes this possible because you can select to run from NAND or SD.
But, the only OS for HD2 which runs from SD (as of today) is Android - means, WP7 and WinMo 6.5 only run from NAND.
(And you cannot put 2 OS´s into NAND).

Ohhhh NAND != SD
So if WP7 is not SD yet, the current port make it run from NAND. Why then is MAGLDR a requirement for WP7? can't I just flash it the good old fashion way?
And on a completely different subject:
I understand I need HSPL 2.08 for the WP7 port.
In the thread , the latest version is 4, but it says "*Includes 2.08 OSPL, 2.08 HSPL, 3.03 OSPL, 3.03 HSPL.
You can install any of this"
So should I download ver 2 or 4?
Again thanks alot, you are really helpful.

MAGLDR actually loads after SPL, but it is needed to load another operating system than the native Windows Mobile 6.5.
For MAGLDR, you must have HSPL 2.08.
Virtually all custom ROMs with WinMo 6.5 are also compatible with 2.08.HSPL.
In case your stock ROM (usually version 3.xx) comes with SPL 3.03, you could easily flash back to this with HSPL4.exe - in case your stock ROM has a version number 1.xx, you might use HSPL2.exe (which offers OSPL and HSPL in 1.42, 1.66 and 2.08 versions).
Btw, "OSPL" means "original SPL".

I'm currently running OSPL 1.42, So according to your instructions, I will use HSPL2.exe to install 2.08.
Thank you, ++ to your thanks meter

[Q] HD2 wont boot android off SD

Hi guys i need help i feel like a newb i have put several different version of android on a 16gb SD card that i purchased today. (lost the original) and i cant get any version to boot. It will say jumping to kernel and will not boot past the htc screen.
I got this HD2 as a replacement in the mail last week.
my am size is 576 megs and my radio is 2.15.50.14
Any ideas???

You might want to reformat the SD to a FAT format. That format will work the best with Android on the HD2.

with fat intend fat32 ?

Hi,I have the exact same problem,I'm using the same radio as u.I use energy rom the latest one I think the problem is cause by the rom. with magldr android works fine.btw u need the sd to be formated to fat32. I say try to install a different rom it might help, i'm gonna try that out too.

i had tried 2 rom and the result is the same, i had format sd card but haret doesn't work

Did u try to flash to magldr 1.13 and then flash a nand android?
after all u want the android more than winmo 6.5 ,no?
I'm checking out now artemis rom with android soon will see how it works.

at the moment i don't want install android on nand, i want try android from sd with haret.
Before the hspl procedure, with the original rom all working good, now, with hspl 2.08 and custom rom no.

some one else posted the same question.and they found an answer m8.
say thx to this guy if works - h.nocturna
I think renaming to it's original name makes a huge difference!
If I were to rename to Android, it wouldn't start up anymore!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so if u unrar an android build copy all of it and don't rename it to android or copy just the android folder.
and try to format it to FAT32 and 8kb clusters before.
I'm testing this out now,hope it works.

eureka !!!
i've update the radio with one up then 2.08,..... and now my leo is in android booting.
try it

what radio version your using?
still not working for me.. even from magldr sd...

2.10.50.08-2

ok thx ,I flashed the latest radio again,and android nand works and boot ad sd works too. so if it still won't work booting android from winmo I will downgrade my radio version seems like it works.

Are you putting the Android folder in the root of the sd card? How much time are you Waiting ..first boot should take 5 or 6 minutes at least ..try another sd card too ..

by root of SD you mean; after formatting i just place it in the storage card directory right ? yes im doing that and i have a standard 4gb SD card

Yes Sir I am running the clrcad.exe first and then The Haret file plus Im waiting almost 2hours each time =/

format sd
put the folder 'Android'- not only its content but the folder itself to sd
clrcad
haret.
if it doesnt boot then hard reset phone and then do all the steps above again

Also,, regular hd2 or tmous? (I ask because 3.14 rom and 2.08.hspl on a regular don't mix, messes with the ram).
Also, for SD android the hspl and radio rules don't matter in the way they do for nand android.
As an aside, I only once got any haret based rom to load in a dozen or so attempts, and it immediately prevented the winmo rom from starting, forcing a hard reset.

Regular, not the tmous... So it is indeed not rare for the haret based rom not to load up in the first or even second attempt ? And will a hard reset really help ? I'll try hard resetting and then repeating the process

Not to cause confusion, but I've found this to be completely untrue. I was running a 3.14 ROM with HSPL 2.08 and Haret for ages, before deciding to give up on WinMo altogether and go to NAND. Everything worked fine.
@OP, have you tried different SD cards?

hey it worked... A simple change of a sd card worked... Tried two others, worked with the third one
thanks all you guys

Can a 3.14 stock TMOUS with 2.15 radio have a dual boot nand android?

No, if winmo is installed nothing else can be on the nand

Then, if I want to dual boot an android SD types are my only choice? I read a thread here stating that NAND is "hands down" better than SD types. If so, then could I still play games in an android SD build as fast as I could in a NAND build?
I recently bumped into this new android version rom
http://hd2apps.blogspot.com/2011/04/htc-hd2-apps-android-cm7-233.html
Like what I've said earlier, my TMOUS is a stock ver. 3.14 with radio ver. 2.15. The post in that blog says that that rom will work on a 2.08 or higher radio, but it stated that 2.12 is recommended, and and hspl 4.
Can I just install the hspl and leave the radio as is?

Bumping thread ^_^
In the Americandroid thread there's a video tut for installing and making the americandroid rom work. At the end of the video the specs of the phone used were posted, it was a 3.14 with a 2.15 radio so that answers my question, but now I have another. The video didn't make it clear whether the 3.14 rom he used was a stock or not, so my question is, can I have an SD android rom on a stock TMOUS winmo rom? Or do I really have to flash a cooked rom?

stock winmo rom is fine

Wow, thanks for the reply. I've been waiting for one in ages ^_^
Well, I tried. Funny thing though... first of, my sim was recognized but I can't seem to see any of my contacts. When I go to "my contacts" it says that I have to import it through accounts or something, but I can't find it anywhere. It says that I have to go to some menu and click on account and import.
Another thing is, when I restarted my phone to use winmo again, most of the programs I installed didn't work anymore like dutty's task manager and the resco file manager to name a few.
Any thoughts on this? I was thinking it was because of the stock rom I have. BTW, I don't have HSPL from what I remember. Just SPL.

Mate you better flash HSPL right now as it will save you from future headaches

yea hspl will save you from plenty of issues down the road

Thanks for the reps guys. I'll post the outcome of this.. thanks again ^_^
Oh, one more question. Does this apply to all SD android roms, or just the one I posted?

Ok, here's the outcome. I tried installing HSPL 2.08 as per instructions of almost all of the sd android rom builds I've seen. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
After installing HSPL 2.08, I noticed a big difference in my winmo. I hardly get any bars in my signal bar, hence, I can't text, I can't call and can't be contacted.
So I went back and installed SPL 3.03.
BTW, I have an unlocked TMOUS with stock 3.14 rom and radio 2.15, and now have SPL 3.03.
I would like to keep my stock 3.14 rom (or, if a cooked rom is needed I would like a closest to stock 3.14 cooked rom) and run an SD android rom. How do I do that? Is there an SD android rom out there that fits my needs?
Thanks for the help again.

First and foremost I suggest a lot of reading, I would start in the WM 6.5 forum and then go to the Android forum as there are dozens of guides available to use. Are you looking at installing an SD build or a Nand build?

I read a lot.. tried.. but it is too much details for me
Actually I ahve idea what are the differences between SD build or a Nand build.
And I don't know the meaning of each one of them.
Thanks

SD Build is installed on your memory card,and NAND on phone memory.

Cool.
I need someone to tell me what is the easiest way to make what I want
So what you suggest and how?
Thanks!

First you must choose which android you want to install,there are different version,for example:Froyo,Gingerbread,Ice Cream Sandwich.I suggest that you check android forum and choose which version you want,and then watch some videos on youtube how to install that specific version,it would help.Im not expirianced in android.Thats all i can tell you,i hope you had some help.

Thanks
I think I read about Froyo.
But after downloading it, then what is next?
I saw a video that tells to put the File of the Froyo on the DS card and then run it from the device...
That's all? That's how you change OS?
Thanks

SD card android doesn't change OS, first the phone starts in win mob, then you start android. A bit like starting a program.
nand android removes win mob completely.
Phone into bootloader
Run hspl2 or hspl3 or Hspl4,
choose 2.08.hspl
Into bootloader
Flash radio 2.15.50
Into bootloader
Flash magldr 1.13
Into magldr - USB flasher
Flash cwm partition layout of size your rom needs
Into magldr - 8 ad recovery - starts cwm
In cwm advanced format SD card THIS WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD.it will also create and ext partition of whatever size you choose.(go for 1gb for now)
In cwm - mounts and storage - mount SD card
Copy the rom.zip to SD (could use card reader if you have one.)
In cwm - install zip from SD
Choose the zip
Done.
