Can't install any Android ROM

Hi, I tried searching and I can't seem to find anything that helps. I followed all the instructions to install Android on my 1024LEO TMOUS and something just doesn't seem to be working. Regardless of the ROM, during first boot it goes through everything it has to go through and then gets stuck on either a black or a white screen with that has the HTC logo on it. I tried using a different WMo ROM and a different radio with no success. I also tried a different MicroSD card with no success. If I pull the battery and restart, it once again will get stuck at the same screen. Any ideas?

Check your Radio
i suggest Radio_2_14_50_04

Installed that radio, formatted my memory card, entered a new Android installation process. Everything went smooth up until a black screen with the htc logo popped up yet again. Any other ideas?

I would actually flash the original t-mo package. This will flash the rom, radio, and spl back to factory. Its the same process as flashing radios and everything else. You just gotta find the package online.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From there or skipping the above i would format the sdcard using a full format and fat32 and copy your android folder to it. I recommend using hyperdroid 1.6
then Flash a hspl or hard spl
Next I would flash VBNDroidRC3 if you do not plan on using windows mobile. If you still want to use windows mobile skip this step.
Now you should flash a new radio. I recommend 2.12.50.02_2
Now before you attempt to boot android for the first time reset your phone. Power it off. Hold both vol up and vol down while pressing power. then press up to reset as the screen says, then vol up again to restart.
Video will look funky on first boot while booting. Once booted video will be normal. First boot can take up to 20 minutes for some people.

Just out of interest how long are you leavning the HTC logo screen there for? First boot can take a long time as it creates the data store (cache) for android to use and depending on the build and how fast your memory card is (class 4 for example) can take anywhere up to 20 mins in some cases to create.

I long did you wait after the HTC blackscreen popped up? Some build requires a minimum of 5-10 minutes, yet other requires 15-20 minutes.

Just did a full reformat, loaded HyperDroid V1.6 onto the memory card, started the installation process, and left for 35 minutes. Came back to a black screen with the htc logo on it.
My ROM is: |WWE|TMO Leo|¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.- Energy -.¸¸.·´¯ | 21916 | 23138 |`·.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 2018 ¯)
Radio Version: 2.14.50.04 and I tried it with 2 other radio versions.
I used HSPL3 to flash the phone to SPL-2.08.HSPL.
I also tried using Chucky ROM and ended up with the exact same results. Starting to feel hopeless here

Try using HSPL2 instead and change your SPL-2.08.HSPL to 2.08.0000.
Then apply the official t-mobile update rom here: http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml?
Then use HSPL2 and flash a hard SPL again. Then your wm rom, then radio, then run android for the first time.
Also do a full format of your memory card. not a quick format

The HSPL3 could be your problem. I'm also running EnergyRom but with radio 2.12 and HSPL2. Everything runs great on my end.
Try using HSPL2 instead of HSPL3.

idk, that may be possible there, but im using HSPL3 with standard energy and 2.12.50 and all roms install.

Okay, so I installed the original T-Mobile US ROM. This made my SLP version 2.10.0000. I downgraded it to 2.08.0000 using HSLP3. Then I used HSLP2 to flash it to 2.08.HSLP. I flashed the Energy ROM and 2.12.50.02_2 radio. Tried to install a different Android ROM and it froze yet again at the HTC screen. I waited for about half an hour and pulled the battery. Only difference that I noticed now is that while the HTC screen was on, a green LED was flashing every few seconds. Windows Mobile works flawlessly though... I'm not giving up yet but I'm pretty close to it

I'm having the same issue after switching from the 16GB SD card that came with the HD2 to a 8GB class 4 card I had at home. Seems like something to do with the SD card imo. Any thoughts? I've tried a full format and the card appears to be working fine.

I think he is onto something. Consider this:
Windows mobile works fine, all the flashing works fine. Try another sdcard and see if that works. Also I suggest you call t-mobile and request another sdcard. T-mobile admits that they were having issues with their sdcards not saving data or the phone having issues detecting them. Call them and say your memory card sometimes doesnt show as being detected and they should issue you a replacement card.

booting android
u still having problems what does ur startup text say...................
set cmdline " what does it say here "

Picked up a new SD card today, attempted to install a build that would previously get hung up on the black screen that said htc on it (NexusHD2) and as usual it ended up getting stuck at the very same screen again. I should point out though that I was able to get FroyoStone build working without any issues. I figured I'd screw around with the kernels and I ended up replacing the zImage used in the NexusHD2 build with the one used in FroyoStone build. It booted up! I got it running on my phone right now. I have yet to try this tactic out on other builds but for now I'll have to guess that this issue appears to be related to the kernel.

I can confirm that this issue was related to the kernel. Just had success installing HyperDroid 1.7 using the zImage from FroyoStone. Thank you to everybody who contributed. Hope this thread might be of assistance to someone in the future.

I've also had the HTC logo problem with starting Android. I've tried everything suggested but the only thing that helped and worked was formatting SD card with phone. I'm using Artemis WinMo ROM and it has an utility for SD card formatting. After I had formatted my SD card with that utility I've finally managed to start Android with any problems at all.

[Q] Bootloader, battery drain and cannot "Haret" Android anymore.

All,
I try to make it as brief as possible.
this is what i post on the winmo section :
Dear All,
I try to make it short:
1. from winmo migrated to android
2. HSPL-ed 2.08
3. ran task29
4. installed barebone energy rom
5. clrd and haret. use mdeejay froyo android rom.
6. not satisfied with PPP and camera
7. wanna change back to winmo
8. CANNOT ENTER BOOTLOADER
9. pull out sd card, battery and sim card for 15 mins
10. hold -vol, successfully entered BOOTLOADER
11. have to repeat same procedure "pull out sd card, baterry and sim card for 15 mins" in order to enter booatloader
12. try enter bootloader from activesync, failed! have to pull out everything for 15mins in order to enter bootloader.
why is it happen "that" way? is it because of android (haret? or clrd?)? how to get back my normal way of entering bootloader without pulling out everything for 15mins?...
thanks

when running Haret, my screen stuck at green HTC logo and black background. i left it for night long, but still stuck.
i reformat sd card, not quick format, format thru pc and hp, still no luck
what should i do now?

Hope this helped
So let me summerize your probs,
1-Bootloader can't be accessed normally.
2-Android won't boot.
3-Battery Drains alot.
TBH I've never faced such problem, but try to start freshly, from scratch.
1-Run task29 to remove installed ROM.
2-Flash a new ROM, different than the old one.
3- Format Memory card (without putting the back up back)
4-Try to enter bootloader (vol v-^ boot) [Your first & third problem may be solved here,proceed to next step]
5-Put a fresh Android folder, without using the old one and without using a back up .
6- Boot Android
a few questions :
What radio did you have ?
Did you flash recently a stock rom with HSPL on ?
Does this problem happen with a certain Android build or all builds ?
Feedback what happened.

Thanks, at last!
you are right, thats summarized what are the problems that ive been facing now.
I always ran task29 before any installations of new ROM
I flashed various of official ROMs and cooked ROMs. None of them giving the result that I want. The battery still draining like hell and I cant access bootloader normally. I have to pull out everything for 15mins 1st, put it back, then I can access bootloader by holding up -vol. But still, it wont solve my battery issue.
I formatted my SD thru HP, thru PC (full format, not quick format), nothing happen at all. Still cant load Haret/Android. I left it for night long, stuck at HTC logo with black background.
To Answer your questions
various Radio(s) I've tried; .50,.51 including the newest one.
yes, I flash stock ROM with HSPL on when I encounter this problem
Its happen to all build, Winmo and Android.
phew, I still believe that I've taken necessary steps in order to get back my HD2 to perform at its normal condition.
Thanks, Please advise.

Maybe your HSPL is defected (Idk how would that happen)
But try to remove it, flash stock ROM 3.14, Don't HSPL, Try to run android, different build.
And never use 51 radio ! .. Always stick to 50 .. also what class your sd-card is ?
Because I've never read about your problem anywhere ..

Hi mate, I use SD American Android and it works well.
You should have SPL 2.08 HSPL
You need Radio 2.15.xx
And you need a custom rom that is compatible. As a reference, I use platinum series custom wm rom (check my sig below)
Reformat your micro sd with fat32. Dont put any files on there, except the Android files in the root of your sd card.
Dont forget to change the gps zone in the "Startup.cfg" to your location/country code
Leave it booting for 30 minutes..
I also thought that it wouldn boot, after almost 30 minutes it booted...
Dont give up mate

You do not have to have HSPL to run Android from SD card, HSPL is only needed if you are going to flash a custom Win Mo ROM, a stock Win Mo ROM that os not for your HD2, MAGLDR, cLK, or if you are going to run a Task 29. I ran three different Android SD builds before going NAND and never had HSPL on my HD2 until I got ready to flash MAGLDR.
Also you do not have to flash a custom ROM to run Android. You just want to have a 3.14 Win Mo ROM be it stock or custom. what matters is that ot is a 3.14 ROM. I ran all three Android SD card builds on a completely stock 3.14 ROM and never had any problems with them, except data drops which are just because they are SD builds.
Oh and by they way I accidently hit your thanks button trying to hit quote. lol

help needed problem while flashing the wp7 rom

hi guys i hvae flashed wp7 rom on hd2 tmo i have done every thing that is needed to run the wp7 but when ever i boot it stucks on htc logo boot screen please help

does any one has answer for it help guys i m waiting

Did you really follow everything step by step?
With the problem you describe, people usually forgot to flash the correct HSPL or Radio ROM.
It must be 2.08.HSPL and Radio ROM 2.15.50.xx, before installing MAGLDR 1.13.
Sometimes, incompatible SD cards make trouble, too.

TMOUS?
If you've got the "other" (US 1024) HD2 you might have properly screwed your phone up
If you've got the European (512) non-TMOUS version then you've done something wrong on one of the steps. No more than pointers here though. You will have to search for yourself in the Development Pages.
1.HSPL
2.Correct Radio
3.MagLdr
4.ROM
In any case this Forum will help solve your issues.

Stickies
Read the stickies in development forum. I think you need seperate ROMs for TMOUS. Maybe also different HSPL, and MagLdr. I don't know what you flashed or what you should have flashed, so you need to read everything the people in the know have written.

Stuck on HTC screen as well!
I have tried it all!
Task 29, reinstall HSPL, reinstalled stock Winmo 6.5, reinstall MAGDLR 1.13, Radio 2.15, etc...
Stock 6.5 rom boots run fine.
Win 7 ROM install fine but then hangs on HTC screen forever! Been looking at it for 30 mins now!
This is highly annoying as everything was working fine last week!
Weirrrrrdddd.
Anybody got tips on this?
Peace.
This is on a EU HD2.

What version of HSPL did you install?
And about WP7, did you installed from the bootloader or MAGDLR USB Flash?

Hey @xsi!
Got 2.08.HSPL
Flashed WP7 through MAGDLR. Everything is going smooth, partitions ok but reboot stuck on HTC logo for ever!
Tried to reinstall Android through Clk no problems, Android boots fine and all, flashed WP7 through MAGDLR after but same thing happens!
Maybe a problem with Clk NAND partitions?
Cheers!

No my friend i will go with sd card problem ... i had same problem it will stock at htc logo ... tried couple sd card 7 of them and i works with 1 gig sd card memory

No ROM is working anymore

I was using the XBmod 1.10 all the time. Today I wanted to flash the new 1.11 ROM. I had no problems with flashing the ROM. HSPL 2.08, RadioROM 2.15 and Magldr 1.13 is installed. But after flashing it hang up on the black HTC screen after Magldr.
Now when I flash the 1.10 Version again I cant open Pictures and Camera anymore. I thought at first that its a problem with the SD Card so I reformated the card again with SDFormatter but the SD Card is correcty recognized by WP7 and Zune.
When I flash another ROM like HD2O 1.14 I cant open the Internet Explorer. Before XBmod 1.10 I was using HD2O 1.13 ROM without any problems.
So what the hell happend that no ROM is working anymore? Never had problems with flashing nor with my SD Card. Tried Task29 several times and always before flashing.
Please help!

Did you properley format your card?
You've probably tried this but just going through what I would do in your situation..
Format SDCard....
Format: FULL+Overwrite
Size Adjustment: ON
Clean Install..
Get the HD2 Tools in the sticky thread in Android NAND section
Put phone into bootloader - Use Task29
Put phone into bootloader - Install MAGLDR
Boot MAGLDR and load USB Flasher
Flash ROM
If the above doesn't fix issue then it sounds like a hardware issue, either your device or card. Try a different card.

Definitely do a task 29. I've had issues re-flashing WP7 multiple times and everytime I task 29 and reinstall everything (just MAGLDR really) and then flash, then it works wonderfully. I spent almost a whole night trying to get WP7 and SD android to boot together and after I got it I vowed never to flash a new build again...shame that vow was broken the next day

I think that your sd card is crashed. I had similar problem with qumo card. It worked very unstable. Try to change the card.

Thank you for your replies!
How I said..I am using Task29 all the time before flashing ROMs.
@TheATHEiST
I formated my SD Card again with Full+Overwrite and size adjustment but its still the same.
The XBmod 1.11 ROM wont start after flashing.
I will give 1.10 a try again, but I dont know that to try anymore.
Do you mean this tools? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
What do I have to do with that?
I also tried another SD Card but I only have a 1GB Card at the moment and the card didnt work. I think the size is too small.
But why the hell I can copy pictures on my card but WP7 cant see them in pictures? And why does the other ROM work but Internet Explorer not?
Thats totally weird.
EDIT:
Its working again!!
I formated my SD Card again with SDFormatter and then I flashed the HTC 1.66 Stock ROM without SIM Card.
Then I flashed RadioROM 2.15 and Magldr 1.13 again. After that XBmod 1.10. After installation I changed the language, restart, then finished the installation wizard til WP7. Then I put in the SIM Card and started again.
Now everything works.
I still dont have a clue what is about XBmod 1.11 but I dont have the nuts anymore to try it again... atleast this evening
So I am still interested in some hints to get 1.11 working.
Thanks

Shaitan! Maybe your sim card is main problem? And first firmware was uploaded without errors?

I didnt really get you but my SIM Card wasnt never a problem. I didnt have no errors when i flashed any ROM.
