[Q] pirate rum

hi
1st off im new to rooting and playing with roms. now ive just loaded up the pirate rum and now when i turn the phone on i cant get past the pirate rum screen and none of the buttons work i cant turn off the phone unless i release the battery
please help i hope ive not ****ed my phone

Can you boot into fastboot by press down the back key while turning the power on? if so see if you can get into recovery

yeah i can do that, what next

wipe the device completely and reflash the ROM

In recovery, use wipe data (warning: this will, as the name suggestst, delete all your data).
Also if you speak german, look for advice in the 'android hilfe' forum, where the rom is supported: http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...8-desire-rom-pirate-rum-sense-nx1-hybrid.html

ive wiped it but sadly i dont speak german so anything i can do now??

Download and flash again (maybe the file was corrupt).
and/or
Get ADB and check the logcat (look around in the forums for instructions).
and/or
Try another ROM.

Hello mate, if it's a stable Sense UI ROM you want to use then I'd recommend LeeDroid or Pinky Desire (although the latter hasn't been updated for a while...)

I suggest wiping all data, then flashing something stable like cyanogen mod 6, just google cyanogen. Download it, put in sdcardand flash in recovery

ok imhaving tyrouble with this
how it started.
i rooted with unrevoked
downloaded titanium backup and rom manager from market
then downloaded the pirate rum rom through rom manager
i have clockwork recovery
just tried downloading the cm6 rom but having difficulty

Right honestly i would play around with a sense rom untill you know what you are doing.
Go and download Leedroid from the rom section
Remove your sd card and put into your computer
put the leedroid file (should be a zip) on the root (not in any folders) of your sd card
Put your card and battery back in and turn on while holding the volume down key
Select recovery by using the Vol keys and powre button to select
You should now have some green text (your joy stick will work now also)
Select data/factory wipe
select yes
now use back and select zip from sd card
select your leedroid file and again select yes
it will tell you when its don, hit the back key again and select reboot.
it will take a while 5-10min to install but just leave it

[Q] Upgrading Android ROM

I have installed [DAF] BOYPPC-SHIFPDA GINGER V11 on to my HTC HD2, and it is great, but as the latest release is [DAF] BOYPPC-SHIFPDA GINGER V16, do I have to reinstall the whole thing, or is there a way of just upgrading?
Thanks for any help.

I use to use DAF as its connect to computer and install, but CWM is alot easier, I mean you can install it without a computer.
To install CWM is just like DAF, connect it to computer and you have do all the basic procedures like you do on DAF.
After that you go into them option list (holding power button USB flasher etc), forgot name think ita MAGDLR, then go to AD Recovery, it boots to CWM (ClockWorkMod). Oh also you have to first format your sd card and have the .zip file of the ROM first in you SD card, after that just go to flash rom sd card in the CWM by choose .zip file to flash in sd card. After that go to ROM press Call or Green button and let the magic begin .
When an update comes (I think, I just started using CWM yesterday over DAF), you just have to do the same procedure like how you flashed the ROM with SD card (the files should be called update.zip), but the difference is that you don't choose the zip to flash, there should be another option of saying flash update.zip, that is all
OMG! Took me ages to write this on my phone haha

Hi,
Check my sig....GUIDE 2.
Should be everything you need.

Your guide was very helpful thanks. I sort of knew what I was doing, coming from an IT background, but as with all new stuff, when it is something new, it is a bit daunting.
I got the HSPL bit and the Radio ROM, I got the MAGLDR part and also installed CWM, but I don't think I installed the right CWM, as per your guide, I should have used the 'Recovery for Ginger V11', when I installed V11, instead I was getting confused with Recovery Files that had the 'Copy To SD Card' directory, the more I searched, the more it got confusing, in the end I have a 1GB partition on my SD card, which I think is not doing anything.
Anyway.....
The version of CWM 'v3.0.0.5' I have on my phone, when started, comes up with 'E:Can't find misc' and if I try to do a backup, it finds the SD card, backs up root, the fails to backup recovery, 'E:failed to find "recovery" partition to mount at "/recovery" Can't mount /recovery'. I think I have the old version/old way, so..................... Can I just install 'Recovery for Ginger V16' and if so, will I lose my Android install?
Then, where does the update.zip come from? Do I rename '[CWR] BOYPPC-SHIFPDA GINGER V16 (14.Apr).zip' to Update.zip?
I really do appreciate your help with this, and your patience........... Thank you...........

Ok,let's start again.
I think you installed CWM correctly,but the net result will be:
"Note when you flash MAGLDR to your HD2 it wipes your current ROM from the HD2. So you will have a ROM less HD2 until you either flash a Android ROM or WP7 to your HD2. You can also reflash a Windows Mobile stock or custom ROM but this will remove MAGLDR from your HD2. "(as stated in the guide)
So what you need to do next is download :
Recovery for Ginger V16 and [Rom] Ginger_Sense.s_V16 \ link2.Keep recovery on desktop,put ROM zip on root of SD card.
Restart phone,hold power button on when it vibrates.
When you're in MAGLDR go to 5 USB flasher,press left phone button.when it says USB...plug in USB cable.When it says USB...USB press DAF in recovery folder on your desktop.Follow instructions.
Restart phone,hold power button on when it vibrates.
When you're in MAGLDR go to 8 AD recovery.Take out cable.press left phone button.go to wipe data,cache partition and dalvik(in advanced).Wipe each one in turn.To go back use right power button.
Then go to install from zip.navigate to [Rom] Ginger_Sense.s_V16 .Install then reboot.
For future updates you can use same method,but use update from zip...
Hope that covers it.

Just wanted to say thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated. I haven't done it yet due to Laptop issues, but once that is fixed, I shall be playing.......
Sometimes there is so much information on here you can easily get lost and a bit confused.
Thanks.....

[Q] Help: Installing Rom over existing ROM

I have an HD2 that I had someone flash to android for me.
The phone initially functioned pretty well, although i immediately noticed that the phone would sometimes crash when I launched Navigator.
Months down the road, the phone began crashing more frequently, and now has become a serious concern for me. The phone will crash when running youtube, gps (google & navigator), and sometimes with the camcorder.
Sometimes it will just restart- out of nowhere.
I have about 120 apps- just mentioning-- not sure if this makes a difference--
So I've decided that i would like to change the Rom.
I've been reading through the forum for a while-- I would like to be pointed to the best reference for proceeding with this-- since I haven't actually done this before.
Will I need to go through the process of radios and stuff-- not sure, since i already have an android rom running on the system.
What is one of the better Rom's available, with working features?
Thanks in advance for any help--
here is a shot of my current system:

well i'll say if you ask a 10 people here what ROM is best your bound to get 20 different responces. this is simply because some people rather sence based, some like miui and some prefer CyanogenMod. what i would suggest is a ROM thats rather easy to flash & use so you can get an idea of how to flash it. after you feel comfortable you can check out the vast Android builds the hd2 has to offer.
i would suggest either rafdroid hd found here or bluetopia hd found here. both builds are very easy to flash, just make sure you follow the directions closely and you wont have a problem. you dont need to change the radio more then likely since its probably already been done before. please note that bluetopia is meant for tmous users and not 512. personally i'd check out rafdroid hd anyway just because it has a very detailed description on how to flash the ROM.
both of those are sence builds but if you rather a non-sence base you can look at this webpage for a ROM you rather flash. it lists tons of builds to go through so pick one that you feel would be better for you.

Glad to see a fellow hd2 user on Rafdroid HD.
Yes Rafdroid HD is one of the completed sense roms but is not the latest.
Latest roms have sense 3 but will have bugs
You will need this (ClockWorkMod. aka CWM) Flash magdlr first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830
Depending on rom, you will have to choose cwm partition size. RafDroid Hd uses 400mb. Other roms may have to set custom partition size.Click Here for Rafdroid HD
Lastly, you may need sd-ext3 partition. Recommended 1Gb
1)
...If you are still on magdlr flashing method and not cwm boot to magdlr menu.(Hold power button till you see a menu). Press Android Hardreset.(Call button to select, volume keys up/down)
...If on CWM already, boot to magdlr menu and select Recovery. Press the "delete data/factory reset"
2)
Flash a new cwm partition using USB flasher option.
3)
Put rom in sd card (do not unzip the rom, leave it as .zip)
4)
Boot to CWM and select install zip from sdcard. Navigate to rom file and select. Flashing may take up to 15mins or more.(Just be patient, do NOT remove battery when it is flashing halfway, just leave it alone)
5)
Once done press reboot system. First boot may take longer to load. Once it boots to setup phone screen, youre good to go!

OK-- I'm not really following all of this CWM stuff-- I watched the guy who put android on my phone go through the process-- and asked him to briefly detail me the steps--
he never mentioned anything about cwm... so what exactly is that?
since android was already flashed to my device-- what would be the best process of removing the current android system and installing another?
i powered up my phone while holding down volume key--
its reads
PB81120 SSB3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
serial
Click to expand...

i also know that i have a magldr---
how do i know whether i have tmous or 512?

i would read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
basically, cwm allows you to flash android roms without using a computer to install. (as opposed to daf.exe roms, which you need to tether to the computer.) it is much more than that, but that is all you need to know now. but read the thread above.
if your hardkey buttons are green/red it is tmousa, 1024
if they are not, it is 512

So- another question-- can anyone take a guess at why my phone is crashing so often--
could it be the number of apps i have downloaded (over 120-- mostly stored to SD)
could it be conflicts in the current ROM being used?
Might it be the battery?
When the ROM was freshly added, the system ran perfectly well, with the exception of Navigator crashing once in a while--
I've probably been running with Android for over 6 months now--
its been acting up for about 3 months now.
problems i often encounter:
crashes when i run-
navigator, gps, youtube, sometimes camcorder
forces closes apps somewhat frequently
I have my system clocked down to around 800mhz on conservative mode, via setCpu, because i feared it was running too hot.

thanks much-- ive read all the posted links--
what i'd like to know-- once i install cwm--
is there a need to wipe the existing rom, before installing another--
or do you just install the desired rom?

yes back up everything 1st. i also like to make a copy of my sd card on my computer. then when your about to flash a ROM you will need tp wipe data & cache. once you've wiped them both you'll need to go down to advanced and select that, go to delvic and wipe that. press back and now you are finally ready to flash the rom by selecting install rom from sd. after it runs dont be alarmed but it can take several mins for it to go through the process. when it says its done then reboot the phone. the boot up time will depend greatly on the rom you've chosen so be patient. it can take up to 10-15 mins for your phone to completly reboot.

this is where i get confused---
where do I "wipe" anything-- what program do i use to do this--
and if I'm "wiping" memory, will i need to reinstall programs like magldr, or any radios, again?
you said "go down to advanced"--- 'advanced' in what running program?

you wipe whats listed above in magldr. you can enter magldr by turning off the phone, then turn on the phone but hold the power button down. you will see magldr pop up if its installed. option 8 is recovery you scroll down my pressing vol up and vol down. to select press the green talk button.
so when you enter magldr you go to option 8, it will go to cwr (recovery) then scroll using vol down/up to wipe data. press the green talk to wipe. do the same thing to wipe cache..then scroll down to advanced and select that by pressing green talk. scroll down to delvic and wipe that by pressing green talk. press back and then select install from sd. now you are able and ready to install a rom. simply select the zip file of the rom you want thats on your sd card. (sorry this should have been listed above..place the rom you want on your sd card) now select the rom by scrolling up or down by vol keys and press talk to select your rom. it will begin flashing. at this point it can take a few mins so dont panic. after it completes you will need to press back button and the reboot phone. when you flash a rom sometimes it can take as long as 10-15 mins for it to boot up. take this time to review and make sure you did every step as its been said and you followed all the instructions listed.
you need to wipe everything between flashes because sometimes there is left over code/data etc that can interfer and mess up your phone. it does not wipe anything like magldr/radio/rom..it really just prepares it for it to except a new rom by deleteing the old data. its the same thing as a factory reset really.

Choosing wipe data/factory reset wipes all the partitions,, cache,dalvik, etcetera, ,, no need to manually clear all the different bits one by one.

yes but a little extra safety precautions never hurt anyone

Watch the screen when you do 'wipe data's, it clears the cache, data,dalvik,sd-ext.... so if you then do them individually too you are wiping already wiped partitions.

i know it goes through them all, i been flashing a looong time since the days of winmo 6. personally i like the comfort of making sure as do a lot of other people here on XDA do. im not the 1st person to suggest doing this. i've seen numerous people give these instruction & i still feel its a good way of double checking before flashing a ROM.

[Q] some newb questions about rom's

heya,
I recently bought a HTC HD2 and it already had a custom rom on it "TyphooN CyanogenMod 7" tho I do like it I would love to try some other roms also
tho I don't know where to start with putting a new rom on it.. and most guides I find start from 0 while I already have a rom on it..
another question would be: people that make rom often do updates. how do we upgade it? alway's start from zero again or is it possible to just update and keep everything?

Turn on holding power till black menu (magldr appears)
Choose 'ad recovery' to start cwm
Choose 'backup/restore' then 'backup' (can skip this if just playing with different roms)
Then, again in cwm choose 'wipe data/factory reset' to empty the user partitions,
Choose 'flash zip from SD card's and 'choose zip from sd', (assuming you already put the rom onto the SD card of course)
That's it.
For an upgrade it's the same, except you do the backup, then once the rom has installed and booted to the 'tap to begin' screen, you reboot into cwm, 'backup/restore' then advanced and selectively restore the sd-ext and data partitions to restore your apps and data.
This restore sometimes works across different roms, sometimes doesn't.
If the rom you want to try uses a different partition size, then at the magldr menu choose USB flasher and flash the correct size cwm partition layout.

thx already some difficult therms for a newb like me but I'll give it a try
is there a difrence in the way to work for ROM-ZIP and NAND? cuz I want a good rom with Sense and most of those are NAND.

that procedure is all about nand, nothing to do with sd android, , but cwm (clockwork mod, cwr, whatever u wanna call it) flashes roms from a zip placed on the sd card.

hmm no chance you or anyone know a good rom that is finished?
also going to use the phone for work and so.. so need a verry stable and finished rom does that exist?

Give this rom a try, it has HTC Sense, which is very different from the ADW Launcher included in CM7 roms, it is made by an experienced rom chef, and should be very stable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733649

hmm gonna give that Energy Rom a try since it looks nice and schould be stable so I just folow these steps?

Magdlr is the thing you installed on your phone which permits you to install different roms on it. You boot into the magdlr menu by holding the power button upon boot until you see that menu. To do the things the poster above mentioned, you have to go to "8. AD Recovery"
most stable rom i've used so far is the original MIUI rom: http://en.miui.com/ (latest update is very, very fast too! )

But i have one Problem.If i push the personalize button starts the internet and not the personalize surface.Now the question is it the problem from my phone or the rom?????

Connect the device to the USB port
Put the device into factory flash mode by booting it while pressing "volume down"
Install HSPL using the "Install HSPL" function inside HD2ToolKit - MAGLDR: Android / WP7 supports 2.08 ONLY!
Put the device into factory flash mode by booting it while pressing "volume down"
Do "Task29" (aka Complete Wipe) using the "Wipe (Task29)" function inside HD2ToolKit
Put the device into factory flash mode by booting it while pressing "volume down"
Install Latest Radio Firmware using the "Install Custom NBH/NB RUU" function inside HD2ToolKit - HD2 Radios
Put the device into factory flash mode by booting it while pressing "volume down"
Install Latest MAGLDR using the "Install MAGLDR" function inside HD2ToolKit

The above all appeared to work and go well
Flash the Latest CWR (Clockwork Recovery) with the appropriate partition sizes by using the "Repartition" button inside the HD2ToolKit: System: 200MB | Cache: 5MB
Boot into MAGLDR recovery menu by pressing the "shutdown/hangup" button while booting up
Insert MicroSD card with the ROM ZIP

Okay the problem is CWR (i downloaded the 150mb version as thought that will work with the rom) It will not install properly and I can not load the CWR menu up. 8. 'AD recovery' states in red "No sources".
Another error message I got is when I first start my phone I get this "Nand Kernal open failed"
Please help me I need to get this fixed as the phone is a present for someone.

Did you use the repartition option in the toolkit or you downloaded a separate package?
Use the option in the tool, and make sure you select the sizes according to the ROM you want to install.
Of course the device would say nand kernel failure, there is nothing in the device. After installing the recovery you need to flash a ROM, obviously.

Thanks for getting back to me,
This is the rom i tried to install but any rom will be fine to be honest!
[17.DEC.2012║ROM] myMIUI 15 B5 [MAGLDR/CLK║Dorimanx║GB║myMIUI IDE©║zipA║MultiLang]
So i did a wipe 29 again, the radio is Radio-Leo-2.15.50.14 and i googled it to download,
just to make sure the repartition was done from the HD2 tool, all stages complete and repartitioned to rom specs 200mb and 5mb cache, so repartition from HD2 tool installs cwmod then?
8. AD Recovery - still stuck saying gogogo..

Which radio do you have installed?

Radio-Leo-2.15.50.14 I dont know if your supposed to see the radio show up on one of the screens in magldr or hspl? but i've not seen anything that shows the radio loaded other than "success" after the initial installation.
It was installed through HD2 toolkit after extracting the two files to desktop.
Also I downloaded the radio from file sharing website after I googled it as the links on xda were no longer working.
thanks,

Well, I am sorry but I am no expert in MAGLDR. All I know is that the infamous Stuck @ GOx3 had been fixed in MAGLDR v1.13.
If you already have v1.13, I am at the limit of my knowledge, sorry.
You could try to re-install though.

Okay mate thanks for your help anyway it was nice of you to take the time to try to help me .
I hope someone else on these forums will help me, I guess i can still go back to the old windows 6.5. I read someone else had similar problem and ended up going back to 6.5. It's a shame because i was giving the phone as a present and wanted it in good working order with android or at least the new windows mobile system..
Maybe the old methods of installing android on the SD card without magldr would work, I would need to find the posts with guides for that as it was such a long time ago when I went through those instructions I really cant remember.

repartition again, if it not work, try this way
gdsbalaji said:
do this...depending on the recommended recovery size (typically 5-150-5 for non sense versions) download a recovery from here ..then restart you phone...go into magldr...go to flasher...once the usb is linked to pc run daf.exe from the recovery (extracted folder)...u will then have recovery installed

that's all I can help

You know, you could hit the thanks button for Marvlesz
Anyway, I can't see where you're going wrong here. All your steps are (as far as I can see) perfectly fine. Just to double check, you have:
HSPL 2.08
Radio 2.15.50.14
MAGLDR 1.13
CWM (from the Toolkit)
right? If so, everything should theoretically work correctly. Try downloading an older CWM version such as the one from the guide in my sig and flashing that instead.

Thankyou tried that tin1203 and I found the 250mb and 400mb (old version) but couldn't download the 150mb version..Links dead
Still stuck on 8.AD recovery.
However instead of being stuck on gogogo, AD recovery simply stated "No Boot sources"
Anything else I can try? Or know a guide to at least get the phone back to working in some form? Cheers

Yep HSPL 2.08 installed
Now how would i check the Radio? Install it again and receive confirmation once installed? Or is there another way to check?
MAGLDR 1.13 is installed
CWM from the toolkit will not load up - when installing it everything appears to work and install fine ( no errors etc) However 8. Ad recovery will not load up.
Anything else i can do to at least get the phone operational.

To check the radio, turn your phone off then on again. While it's booting up (on the first splashscreen) three lines of text will appear. The top one is something like R: 2.15.50.14 (or whatever radio you have, obviously) so try checking that line and making sure that it's a .50 radio. If it is, then everything worked fine when you flashed the radio. Also try the CWM version from the guide in my sig, it's supposed to be one of the most stable versions I think.

Hey i think i know what your problem is and since it's a present i hope that will work...there are two types of recoveries...the ones flashed on nand that can be booted from 8.ad recovery...and the ones flashed on the sd that can be booted from the 3rd option of mgldr..i think is called 3.ad sd..i really hope this will help!

Thanks for the help guys, after my previous post I decided to try installing windows 7 and all went well in terms of flashing the rom however although it appears to have loaded I have no touch screen, its completely not working
This could be due to windows 7 software or when it got fixed as I not used the touch screen since..

Oyeah thanks for helping, just need to get someone to fix the touch screen i guess.

It would be better for you if you install cwr from toolkit, just select the partition size(magldr repartition) for eg. 150 like you want and you'll get cwr v5.0.2.6.. Those recoveries that you're downloading from guide suck, didn't work for me too(ok, they worked but I couldn't flash anything even if I downloaded the 400 one).. Recommended.
EDIT: Sorry, haven't seen the second page of the thread where you already mentioned that cwr from toolkit won't boot.
