[Q] HTC HD2 Android Boot Error (Black Screen)

Hello together,
i've got some problem with my htc hd2.
first a few facts:
my actual winmo rom is the cookie energy rom build 21916 (german)
my radio rom is 2.14.50.04
my hspl is 2.08 from cotulla
my android rom is mdeejay froyo v3.3 with hastarin 7.1
now the problem...
when i try to start android (first clrcad then haret) the boot loader shows a few lines. the last is "jumping to kernel"
then after a few seconds these lines vanish and there is black screen.
only way to reboot is to remove the battery.
i've got a 8gb san disk microsd...
before installing the winmo rom and android rom i erased my htc with task29 and formatted the microsd with fat32.
i also tried different winmo and android roms but theres always the same error...
plz help me
thanks

any suggestions?

I have the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I´m working on it for 2 weeks now!!!!!!!But i get no results!!!
I tested it with differet sd-cards, many ROM´s... no chance its everytime the same!!!!

and it works on evry of my SD Cards!!!!!!! WHYYY???
Please need Help!!!!!!!!!
PS: Wenn du das Problem gelöst hast bitte schreib mir!!!

boot error
Use the the chucky rom , I have no issues with this rom.

Does your windows mobile report 576MB memory in hardware information screen? Is it possible that you have a 320MB prototype/pre-release hd2s maybe? Normally all hd2s except pre-release models have 576MB physical ram. European models are capped at 448MB unless you update your radio and rom. But pre-release models will still have 320MB and unfortunately won't be able to boot android even if you edit android memory settings. (Cotulla says, even if you are able to run, it will be buggy and laggy)
Note: I am not talking about free memory. I am talking about the full memory reported in hardware information page in winmo.

My HD2 is from Vodafone and 3 month´s now. i hava a gotrip ROM (5.9) on it now with 546 RAM.
The older Android builds worked for a while!!!

same problem
HELLLLLP!!! I really want to try this out but it seems that my HD2 won't load it. i'm running energy rom and I've flashed android on this phone before. I've hard reseted my phone as well as reformated my SDcard but when every I go to launch harret, the linux screen pops up and the lettering (about two lines with no penguin logo) changes to a pinkish color and the next screen is a white screen with HTC on it. I don't know what to do. and now it seems I cant load any version of Android on it.

im having the problems as you people
but the thing with me is that, andriod use to boot but later on when i installed the stock rom and went back to the energy rom it just wont boot :'(

i got my andriod to work
this is how i did it ...
1) make sure you format your SD card using this software www(dot)sdcard(dot)org/consumers/formatter/sdfv2000(dot)zip and make sure its NOT a quick format
2) make sure your radio is around Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2
3) follow this guide www(dot)forum(dot)xda-developers(dot)com/showthread(dot)php?t=732380
(replace the "(dot)" with "." for the URL to work)
hope this help ( by the way i was writing this whilst booting my andriod and it works =) )

My HD2 has:
RAM size:448Mb
Flash size: 512Mb
Storage size:180,11Mb
And I have same problem.
Can't instal Mdeejay Android.
What to do? To give up?!?!

Should I change ROM & Radio? Now I have shiped rom.
Is this can change something?

I had the exact same problem. Been trying 1000s of ways to fix it but no help. Cant ever get android to load again. Im hoping the nand version build will work.

Fixed all today.
Must have compatibile radio + rom.
What loader to use if I want to use only android ?

alias_scg, what Radio + ROM did you use to fix it?
I've been having this problem over 3 weeks and I finally found the post with similar behavior with my HD2.
Now, I'll try 2.12.50.02_2 meanwhile for mdeejay.
I'd been using all suggested ROM and Radio from those chef's original posts, though.

I also got this weird problem... having stock rom/radio whatever.. just got the phone yesterday... but will try a other rom+radio etc. and see if that works
EDIT:
Ok guys i also got this fixed...
I upgraded my radio + rom and then it worked all fine!

HELP!
I am having the exact same problem as the rest of you's,
has anyone managed to find a fix.
My rom is still the official telstra rom, so maybe thats the problem ?

[Q] Boot Failure Black Screen Green HTC

Hi, this is my first post on this forum so first of all I would like to appolagise for all the things I've either just done wrong, or am about too....
I am trying to install android on to my phone, I am on the stock rom but have succsesfully installed HSPL3 and radio version 2.11.50.20.
I have tried a few builds of Android but allways have one of 2 results.
Once I've run clrcad followed by harlet, it tells me I'm booting to linux. The screen then goes black, it runs about 8 lines of code, stops there and changes to a black screen with a green HTC. Where it remains indefinatly.
A friend with anouther HD2 has android working fine on his device, and altho he has a custom rom he tells me its not essential, as ive read up on the potential risks I would rather stick with the stock but will change if thats whats causing the problem.
I would really appreciate some suggestions, thanks in advance for your time and help.
Peter

forgot to add, the second result is the screen going blue indefinatly, which I presume from my extensive knowledge.........lol is a blue screen of death

upgrade your radio, im on 2.12.50, and the newest is 2.15.50
also, try a modded windows mobile rom, i use standard energy with no issues.
also, make sure you only have that one android build on your SD card. and that it's a new build, not an ancient one. (check http://android.hd2roms.com/)
you shouldnt have any more issues.

Thanks for the advice, unfortunatly before seeing your post I uprgraded too chuckeys rom, not energy, but get the exact same error... Leads me to beleive the problem is elsewhere. Will keep trying tho hope its worth it.

Jai meme problme mon rom est miri hd2 v_18.0 wwe ? Radio 2.15.50.14 ?

Same problem here, tried to change my wm rom and didn't work. I'm looking tonight if I can find a solution...

A little disclaimer
I will not be for any damage that may be caused to your device, HSPL remove warranty so be carefull. Don't forget to have more than 50% of battery remaining before the process !
So, maybe here is the solution:
I've try again with differents roms, changing my wm rom etc. and nothing works.
But, at the end I've change my radio rom to Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Then installed Chucky GTX Lite rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618787
And to finish I've installed the bootloader and download MDJFroYoRevolution 1.4 with android 2.2
I've use the 512 Data img too (just unzip your MDJFroYoRevolution, take the 512 or 1Go file and put this file on your Android root.) isn't necessary but takes less time to work first time.
After that still not working so I managed to try to remove all files from my sd card (2Go only) and I put on ONLY MDJFroYoRevolution 1.4+512Mo Data img !
Then after 10mn~ it works !
I think the bug is only because sd card haven't enough space to create all files so the HTC logo stuck and no error message appear.
Don't forget to install the bootloader on your memory internal storage! and not the on the sd card!
Good luck everyone and I hope it will help.
ps: sorry for my english hope you understand anything

Having the same problem here. I've tried different versions of WM, different Android builds, updated the latest radio rom, all without success.
Strange thing is though that Android boots the first few times, but after resetting it more than about three times it gets stuck on the black screen with the HTC letters in the middle. The only way to get it running again is reformatting my SD card (8G). Only thing on it is the Mdeejay Froyo Sense v2.3 Clean...

Solution for the freeze screen after second boot
I put android not in the root directory but in a \Android directory on the SD CARD.
of course, I add set cmdline "rel_path=Android" in the Startup.txt file and now i can reboot my phone when i want.

Always use the custom winmo Rom sugested by the Android Builder. Simple as. The myth of "Stock ROM will be sufficient" should end
Peter[/QUOTE]

tried 3 roms.
before installing radio - I had the Kernal problem.
and now I have the black screen with green htc.

Not true. I've installed on a couple of peoples HD2's using the latest stock WWE rom with radio 2.15. It does work, and it works very well.
I'm not saying you shouldn't use custom roms, that is everyone's prerogative (as you can see from my sig I use VBN's rom and it's perfect for me).

Try to move a folder called Android from sd card to another folder or delete it and it should help. It worked in my case. Good luck!

has someone hear find an answer?

given up
I have tried many combos and radios and still stucked at green htc loading logo now i am just hoping for nand. strange thing its the volume down and end does not bring bootloader anymore.

*STUCK* Help Me to Help Him

Hey guys,
I'm in need of solution to an annoying problem.
Earlier today one of the HD2 Android chefs, Motoman, shattered his Hd2 beyond repair. Luckily, his friend had left an Hd2 at his place assuming it was bricked. The device is a tmous HD2 (fairly new) that Motoman previously Hard-SPL'd. The device had worked fine for a while after that and started acting this way out of nowhere.. It can still enter bootloader but when booting normally it won't get past the splash screen.. the weird part is that the red bootup numbers don't show at all. Bootloader shows that hspl is on the device (as shown below)
Code:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.hspl 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x50
I've tried suggested all solutions I can think of including:
- Hard reset
- Task29
- Flashing Radios (yes, the correct versions)
- Flash stock using standard RUU (2.10 | 2.13 | 3.14)
- Flash stock using flashaholicRUU (2.10 | 2.13 | 3.14)
- Removing HSPL and then flashing stock
- Replacing HSPL and then flashing stock
NOTES:
- Can't flash via SD because he only has the stock sandisk 16gb
- When he had tried to flash the first time (after the half-brickness occured) the RUU didn't show a current OS image.. as if the device task29'd itself.
- The flash completes with success everytime and the splash screen changes with the different rom flashing attempts so it's flashing correctly but there seems to be some sort of block on boot..
- The device was mainly used to run android.
So........... is this a hardware issue?

Anyone out there?
This is what happened to my HD2 which leaves the reason why I need to get this other one fixed .

Try booting without the SDcard inserted, maybe its the sdcard causing the issue?

the only thing u could do is get a sd card 2 0r 1gig and try to flash a rom from that

Any luck yet moto? Were you able to find a 1 or 2GB microsd card and give it a try?
Hoping for the best...
R

Whythe HD2 willboot without an SDcard, maybe the sd port is bad, I would think getting the phone to boot is the primary issue here? The idea is to elminiate all possibilities, and the SDcard is the first thing I would remove and try booting.

tried a different battery and with no sd card?

Uhmmm this is kinda a know issues on the LEO1.5.
A lot of Bootloader issues..
I would say reflash bootloader with JTAG.

Thanks for the reply..
But earlier motoman found a quick solution..
motoman said:
Well I called a local cell repair store to see how much a new screen would be and I told them the situation I was in and they said to come in so they could look at it. They took the motherboard from my shattered phone and put it in my bricked phone for $35!!!!! And it worked!!!! The software is acting up though. The home screen wont show up for awhile and all I can do is go into the start menu

But I'm interested to know, since you brought up JTAG, is that the only way to reflash the bootloader?

Lots of ppl are having problems with hardsp and newer tmous hd2, it gets stucked on the bootscreen and never displayed rom radio and protocol vers
my workarround was:
Flashed Tmo's OEM rom
Twice task29
Flashed kumars latest rom
Changed radio to 2.15.50.14

yup, the only issue i had was playing need 4 speed shift on it, at a moment it got stuck so y pushed the reset button, i cr*pped on my pants when it displayed the bootscreen and started to vibrate continously but a quick battery pull off and a boot without SD card solved everything. Now everytime i play nfs my adrenaline rushes! not for the speed but for the fear of brickin my hd2

[Q] half broken, I think

Hi every one.
I've got a problem.
my hd2 T9193 works once a week for 1-5 houres maxmimum. (otherwise, it reboot it self for ever)
i can go to the bootloder
i can change the hspl
i can install just one rom called JNF_AndroidStarter_US_30-12-10 which work once a week as i siad.(when i connect to the pc it says HD2 T8585)
I cannot update the rom or the radio. always stop at some point
I've tried hard reset
I've tried task 29, task 28, task 2a
I've tried hspl 1.44,1.66,2.08,3.03 (both the offical and the jilbreken)
I've tried sd recovery with offiacl rom(00018003 error {LEOIMG.nbh -- FAIL}{RADIO_V2--RSA Fail}{/*ON BOTTOM*/ Update Terminate UPDATE FAIL}
I've tried most of the roms offical or cooked one
I've bought a new battrey
What I was doing before it crashs ?
I've tried all andriod roms (sd,nand,recovery mode)
I've tried wp7
I've tried all wm6.5
All of them where frezez when i run too many porgrams so i take the battrey out and insert it agin
so the last rom I've instaled correctley before the crash was the offical -HTC HD2-RUU_Leo_Telstra_WWE_1.72.841.0_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship , i think the radio is the same as the offical one in red
so What do you recommend ?

you have what is known as a 'stuck radio', and its a 51 radio so wont work with android/magldr/most cooked roms.
the current advice appears to be chill your phone in a sealed bag in teh fridge/freezer for a while, no sim, no sd, then when its nice and cool try flash telstra rom from sd card.
Ive never seen it done, but it seems to be the only advice anyone can give.
have a google on stuck radio radio rsa fail things like that.

Awesome, i will try it ^_^
do i but the battry with it ?

COOL
every thing is working know, i've changed the Radio to the lastest one 15.xxxxxx
there is one problem it frezes when i use more than half of the RAM.
thanks for helping mate

Can you elaborate on what you did exactly? Did you flash via USB or SD card? Did you end up putting your phone in the freezer? If so, for how long?
Thanks in advance and congrats on fixing your HD2!

That would be nice - same problem here

please help me on it

You should check out the flashing android for noobs thread its in the sticky for nand android development it has step by step detailed instructions and it may help you figure out if you missed a step.

You should probably restore to stock windows mobile and start from scratch. Search for this thread "[GUIDE] Flashing Your First HD2 NAND Android Rom [For Newbs]". Sorry, I can't post link yet.

first off you need to upgrade the radio to 2.15.50.14, do a task29 then flash MGLDR, then find the proper partition for Clockwork mod and flash that, and find a rom that has ongoing support by the dev, and flash that thru CWM, I was an Energy follower when I was in winmo, but NRG is too busy with winmo to keep his desire hd rom up to date, I honestly would recommend Pongster HyperDroid Gingerbread .

same here...

Check you SD card .
If use SD (haret.exe) .the first is very slow when there is not data.img
please wait it last 10min.

someone mentioned a clean installation. and he is right. just perform a clean installation and everything would work as it should. http://www.enfeuman.com/2011/04/13/how-to-perform-a-clean-installation-on-nand-android-htc-hd2/ . here's an exact type of guide you are gonna need, buddy.
