Girlfriends kills android roms everytime! - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Dear xda users,
My Girlfriend got a HD2 and I installed Android on it.
She used SD versions but she kills them everytime.
After a month the phone got stock on boot screen.
Then i tried to install NAND Roms but after 2 months of smooth running the same problem again... (example: Coredroid, and sense roms)
I think that the problem is that when the phone freeze she pull the battery out and after a few times the phone won't boot anymore.
Followed all the noob friendly guides.
Followed all the instructions in the post of every rom.
Installed the recommed radio, MAGDLR, CMW, data partions that were in the instructions
Common problem on sense roms?
Should i try to install no sense rom?
(Got experience with Desire HD flashing and Touch pro 2)

Hi,
It could be that with all the battery pulling, that the pins could be bent.
Make sure they are all straight.

Buy her an iphone, then she can't pull the battery! :-D

I don't think it's hardware related.. Because i can boot in the MAGLDR without any problems.. But when i wan't to boot android it hangs on the coredroid boot logo
(This happends with all roms (sense) i tried so far)

Boot into magldr and re run the rom from there,cleare the caches firsr ot course
Then glue the battery in - buy a tazer and promise her a double dose if she pulls the battery again

lol, hahaha

ive seen a few posts where people have struggled with getting past boot logo, think it was fine after using a different partition in recovery but as your device is for the sd build am not quite sure how that works as Ive never had sd android or if having sd requires clockwork mod recovery? if so try different partition as i said earlier if not hang on till someone has the answer

haha great answer, my girlfriend doesn't touch my hd2 or she gets alot more than a double dose with the tazer method, HD2 is not the solution for a women... you take the hd2 of her and buy her a iphone surly they are women material.

Ignore Post

Problems almost always occur after a few weeks or months of use for me, just reflash the ROM, and you'll good to go.
removing the battery is not recommended, it can corrupt files on the sd-card. Try to boot without sd-card and see if it helps. If your ROM does boot, it means the SD card is corrupted, you can try to backup the SD card and restore it after completely wiping the sd-card.
If your rom doesn't boot, than it meant there's something else going on, maybe corrupted flash, so reflash and try again. This will delete all your data, so be careful

if your girlfriend is not an daily flasher also might i suggest using a daf build. All the configuration is done for you. if you are using a sd build from magldr than make sure you change the name of the build than edit the startup txt like this "rel_path=whatever you name the build(example: "rel_path=MIUIROM nand_boot=1") the 1 for magldr 0 for windows 6.5. the reason for me saying this is all android builds create a folder android when they boot up with all your info like data and cache is in there. So its best to separate the two just in case you want to boot up more than two builds from sd.

Same here.
could be a bad block in your NAND memory. you can check this with cLK and fastboot.
see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13600733&postcount=9
i checked mine and there was a bad block in the userdata. i think that is wy my phone was freezing.
now i have flashed cLK and untill now its working great!

[Q] bricked tmous hd2 from freezing android?

hi all, long time viewer first time poster, i have been reading many post on the net trying to find a definite answer on my tmous hd2 but with no luck. My problem started when i was running android (sandisk mirco sd, yes i know the incompatibility issues, it came with the phone). I was playing music through headphones while charging and suddenly the phone froze with a buzzing sound until i battery flipped, first thing it did when i started it back up again is vibrate approximately 5 times at boot flash screen (indicating excessive heat?), so i battery flipped again and waited 10 mins then i tried to start again and it just froze at boot screen, it would keep doing this and every now and then it will boot to wm, but sooner or later it will freeze in wm and then have booting problems, its still doing this today after doing all the following: 1.flash another custom rom. 2.flashed another radio. 3.task 29. 4. flashed stock rom & radio. 5. flashed nandroid 6.tried different capacity and brand sd cards & none at all.
I now have a hd7 because I couldnt fix it and didnt want to shed the cash they are still asking for a hd2, but i do want to fix the phone to play around more with it, i did look at the possible solution unbrick with jtag thread but im thinking the phone is perma bricked, when it was working it has had alot of custom rom flashes so i dont know if that makes much a difference but i would greatly appreciate some advice, THANKYOU XDA FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

Please mention your RADIO, HSPL and the last Android Rom in which this happened!
If your phone is booting, it's not bricked. Did you try another SD card? Have you tried doing a low level format on your SD card? If it were me I'd Format the SD card with an adapter on my PC, low level. Then I would put it back in the phone then run Task29. Then flash MAGLDR 1.1. Then Flash the CMY 1.4n Desire HD Nand build in the HD2 Nand Android Development forum. It's the most stable Nand build up there right now.
I would use the 2.15 radio that comes with the newest Tmobile ROM. You might have to download the 3.14 ROM from Tmobile and flash it first to get the Radio in there. Then Task29 after that. MAGLDR, Then the NAND build. Make sure you find the Task29.exe that doesn't have a radio paired with it. it's on this site somewhere.

hd2 running MIUI freezing up too
I'm a complete noob here so bare with me. I'm currently experiencing the same probs as lewy255 with the hd2 freezing up. It happens every now and then when I'm accessing certain apps. When the hd2 does freeze up, i have to take the battery out, wait, then boot up again. Once it tries to boot up it freezes on magldr, then i got to take out the battery again, wait, then power it on again. It seemed to happen when i first rooted my hd2. The first ROM i flashed after rooting was typhoon CM7. Currently have:
HSPL 2.08
radio 2.15.50.14
MIUI version: 1.5.27
I hope this isnt a hardware issue cause i bought this phone from one of my friends and he didn't have the receipt. Please advise on what i can do to fix this freezing issue.
Thanks
Sounds like cpu overheat freeze. When you were playing music and charging it the first time it froze, was the phone and/or battery hot?
It's very possible that it got too hot once, and now the cpu its self gets too hot much easier now that it has already happened once.

No I do not think that will help your situation. I think your HD2 is starting to show signs of hardware break down. More specifically a breakdown in the connection of the processor and the main board. The only permanent if this is the case is to replace the main board.

I tried installing setCPU and adjusted the temperature setting so if got too hot then the speed of the phone would be reduced, but still no luck.
What if i unrooted the phone and put everything back to stock? I think that way i will know for sure that its a hardware issue. I dont know much about phones but your probably right. I'll try running task29 and reinstall everything and see if that works, if not then i will un-root and put everything back to stock and test.
Is it an undervolted kernel? Might cause problems, but I'm with mac here on it being a hardware problem, since you flashed back to winmo stock and you still had problems.

in my opinion and its just my opinion, but you should flash a winmo 6.5 build than boot android from sd its safer because theres no need to worry about battery dying in magldr. and if theres a nand rom you want to try out i suggest using port a droid. im using now with the new nexus 2.8 with a 1gb data.img and it runs great plus i have 3 other builds on there also.

plz help!

i just got my htc hd2 cause someone stole my old one, on my old one, it was easy 2 put android on the sd, with my new hd2 no rom will work, it loads, but when android turns on it will lag, and apps crash and say force close, and the market wont work, i tried this and mcc's 4.5 and its the same thing happening, what should i do?
Have you tried a full wipe in clockwork and then installed? Do that as your first option and if that doesn't work then Task29, reflash MAGLDR/cLK then clockwork and then your ROM.
im noob, i dunno what clockwork is and how 2 do that? and i never used mgldr/clk on my old hd2, i just did a simple drag and drop onto my sd card, then flashed it, and it always worked fine, now when it works, theres always problems, also, do you know how i can reformat my sd card? ty for help, appriciate it!

Yeah you need to install HSPL and a new radio. Again, there are several guides on how to do this. Search around a bit. One thing though, if it was me, I would just install on NAND and bypass windows altogether. The guide linked above should tell you all about it and how to do it.

I thought I'd post here since I'm having a problem with android install and I'm a noob as well (probably more noob than the person posting here). I tried installing nand android on my HD2 and followed the steps exactly. At least I'm pretty sure I did. I installed MAGDLR, then the recovery, and then android. Everything seems fine when booting except it just hangs at the HTC screen. I left it at the HTC screen over night since I heard the first boot would be long. So now I am wondering what are my options. I wanted to install WM again so I can retry the android rom install but since it stuck at the HTC screen, device manager doesn't see it. I didn't brick it did I? Thanks for your help in advance!
I followed this thread.

Couple things, did you first install HSPL and radio? Those go on before anything else. Second, how did you install the rom? Through usb or through recovery? Lastly, if you flashed via recovery, how did you transfer the zip to sd card? CWM has been known to corrupt files during transfers. I would recommend using a usb card reader or through magldr's usb mount option.
Actually one last thing. Make sure you have selected the correct recovery size. A ROM requiring 150mb will work on a 400mb partiotion, but not the other way around.

It's actually MAGLDR that corrupts files, not clockwork.
It's most likely that you don't have the right partition size though. You can change the partition by going to your clockwork file on your PC, opening it, then look for a file 'flash.cfg' and right click on it and open it in a text editor, then editing the line "system ya | 150" to whatever the ROM needs. The '150' will most likely be 150, 300 and 400 etc. so just change the numbers and save it.
ok i will try and do nand, what is one of the best nand to use, ty so much for help.
Hmm maybe you're right skelly, not sure. Either way it's best to use a card reader.
Fly, I'm using typhoon cm7 version 3.0.0. I found that it's the best for me

I would have always said one of the CM versions... great ROMs. Finally tried MIUI this week in preperation for putting it on my woman's G2 (always thought it looked like a girly ROM). OMG I'm hooked! I don't think I can ever go back to CM again. It's blown me away.
But you cannot go wrong with the popular CM ROMs. I tried the Sense one also for the eyecandy I love... but none of them ran smoothly for me.

I did the following:

Installed MAGLDR
Use the DAF.exe with MAGLDR on the phone
Then I went to AD Recovery and wipe full data and Dalvik
Then I installed ROM via SD card.
I did the following:
Ran task29.exe
Installed Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
Installed MAGLDR
DAF.exe
Then I installed ROM via SD card in CWM.
Im sorry but it sounds right, what you did. all i can advice you to try ist start ALL over, first by rooting (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953)
and then just follow the instructions given on the coredroid download, they are very detailed and unless you miss a step by accident (which was what i did) it should work.
and dont forget to give the first boot some time, it may take up to 15 minutes (sometimes even longer) but dont worry its just the first one!
good luck, and if you try please post the results, hd2 has left me down woth a few rooms a couple of times but in the end it always worked, even if it took many reflashes!!

I have a freeze problem with my wildfire, a little help would be appreciated.
I installed cyanogenmod 7 and everything was working fine untill I restord all data (for cotacts and apps) using clockworkmode. After data recovery the phone freezes on boot.
Can someone tell me if I did something wrong or a method to get pass the freeze?.

$20 to walk me through Android REinstall

I had someone install Android direct to the phone (NAND), and wipe out Windows altogether. I'm trying to reprogram because after working fine for 5 months, the signal goes in and (totally) out randomly.
Sooooo, I've got root, aMAGLDR V1.3, Kernel 2.6.32.15, and I'm running ROM Manager...but I don't know what the hell I'm doing, really. Oh, and I downloaded some ROMs to my microSD.
And there's a catch. My USB port is totally loose now, so we need to do this without plugging in.
Is it possible?
If I boot into aMAGLDR, and I choose
1. Boot WPH, I get: WPH not installed
2. Boot AD SD, I get: SD Kernal Open Failed
3. Boot AD NAND, starts my old crappy ROM
4, 5, and 6 are USB (non)options
7. AD Hardreset: Do you want to erase all data? No, I don't.
8. AD Recovery: Invalid boot image header
9 Tetris: Press Enter to start, and then it doesn't start, and then I get sad.
If someone walks me through this (here, pm, Skype, Google Talk, Facebook, phone, whatever) I'll Paypal ya $20. If a bunch of people post the right answer, I'll split it, but don't fight over it. This is meant to be a fun little challenge, and a way for me to learn a little.
So, the race is on. Or is it?
You got magdlr installe. Do you have the recovery installed too? that would be the next thing you would have to flash and not to need a cable. the rest is easy and dont need a cable but you do need your sdcard. Being that you havent stated whether your phone is a eu model or a us model I will take the chance and say its the us model, next question is do you plan to use a ext partition of the sdcard? If you are then you need tpartition the sdcard from the recovery partition (CWR) after you have then you can copy the rom of your choice to the sdcard on your computer, then insert the sdcard into the phone and then flash the rom. if you dont plan to use an ext card, then skip that step and just copy thre rom onto the sdcard, flash and reboot.
A loose usb means nothing as long as it work thats all that matters, plus if the usb is loose then you have a bigger problem, how do you plan to recharge the phone?
U have milion solutions on forum for ur problems but if u really need help pm me i will give u skype or gtalk and I will most likely solve that for you cause i played a lot with my HD2

I use an external charger to recharge the batteries.
Can't use rom manager with magldr, if you run it it will break the cwm instal, and I suspect you already did hence "8 ad recovery" not working.
Rom manager now works with magldr hd2. U can flash recovery. And in turn flash rom to nand.

The only thing is once you boot into recovery go to mounts and format all that has a format option. After you format everything,power down remover sd card and transfer your rom onto it. Then power back on and boot into recovery again and flash rom, reboot and enjoy !

Not only does this appear to be a rather rude response (don't know if that's what you intended) but this is also a rather pointless thread. There are countless guides on how to install NAND Android (my favourite being this one) and if you had done any research you would have known beforehand that ROM Manager and MAGLDR don't work well together. I really don't know what showlyshah means when he says that ROM Manager now supports MAGLDR because as far as I know it isn't true and there would be loads of threads about it.
It's not a rude at all. I've done tons of research on these forums.
The problem lies in the fact that those of us who are not programmers don't have a base level of knowledge that is assumed in these forums. Couple that with all the acronyms that are new to us, and it's a puzzle to figure this stuff out.
Every time I program a new device I say, AHHHH! That was sooooo easy...once I knew the steps. Until then, it's impossible.
Have u do it or not ?
Here's where I'm at. I followed that guide. THANK YOU so much-I hadn't seen that one before.
I tried to install a ROM after I installed clk, and got stuck in a loop. At least I'm gettting a different result.
I've started over, and I've got CLK on the phone now. Now, Which ROM should I install?
Thanks for your help.
Updated update.
The rom I tried to install is HyperDroid-CM7-Licking-Lobster-v5.6.0-cLK-signed
When I started my phone, it just goes back and forth between a screen with an "H" on a twirling cube, and that splashing into the Android dude...and splashing back. Left it for 45 minutes.
Now, clk says it installs, but when I start, I'm back to the Android/H loop.
Like I said, I need someone to walk me through this.
Reinstalled. Same loop. Trying the Nexus Rom.
If I try to boot through HBoot to NAND I get:
Normal boot ...
ERROR: Invalid boot image heador
R u using the correct model(EU or tmobile)?

I use it on Tmobile, so I'm assuming Tmobile version. How would I know?
Someone else originally programmed the Nexus 2.3.4 NAND Rom on it, but I don't know how he did it.

t mobile USA cut their own deal with HTC, to make a hd2 with double internal rom and a little more ram. (And in teh process gave their customers a device with an insta-kill switch, which they no doubt regretted when thousands were returned bricked in teh first few months of release)
if your hd2 has red+green end+send keys, and says 't mobile' beneath the earpiece, its a 'tmous' (T MObile US) which is slightly different to teh rest of teh worlds hd2's.
If you have white keys,you have a regular hd2.

[Q] No screen input from android / wm

Hey guys, I need some quick suggestions if anyone has it. Currently I have a non working phone.
I have been running an ICS NAND rom on my hd2 for a while now, havnt had any issues (a few niggles with the rom, nothing major) so I thought today I would update to the latest version.
I used the hd2toolkit to resize the partition to the biggest size it would allow, then used ad recovery to flash the new .zip to the nand. This is where my problems started, whenever i booted it just showed the boot animation, (I waited over an hour and pulled the battery out and re booted / reflashed a few times).
I found with a differnet rom i tried, pulling out the SD car would allow it to get to the welcome screen, but no screen input was accepted. I thought this was a bit weird but pushed on. I tried a different rom and it stated after flashing that it was optimising applications and looked like it was stuck in a boot loop. I did some reading up about it and found that task29 should help. I ran this but then all the phone would do is show the green HTC on the white background, it wouldnt let me to get into magdlr menu.
I then decided to to a full restore and go back to the wm rom from th HTC site (The australia telstra version), this seemed to flash on fine, but now I can not slide or click buttons in wm, no screen input is accepted. Which is strange as it was doing this in an android rom, as I mentioned previously.
Any ideas on how I can get touch working / get a NAND android rom to work again.
Thanks in advance guys
First verify that you have hspl installed by powering on while holding vol down button to get to bootloader screen
Go back to the hd2 nand toolkit
1.task29
2. Select either cLK repartition or Magldr repartition and select size for your rom (not the maximum size). 200 mb is fine for ics using sdext partition.
3.Select magldr update recovery or cLK install recovery depending on your selection above.
4. Reboot phone by pressing power and holding to get to magldr or power and home button to get to cwm recovery.
5. Install ICS from sd card as before
Thanks for the help, I had to flash a different radio version to get magdlr to boot.
I now have android running of my NAND, but the screen is non-responsive now, as it was yesterday.
I doubt it is hardware related, because I have never had an issue before yesterday when I wanted to change the android version, any ideas how I could get it working?
Make a backup and then repartition again using HD2 toolkit. Maybe you got a bad download or something. Seems simple but it does happen. To me if I didn't know you choose the biggest it would sound like the partition wasn't big enough. Maybe try a cyanogen ROM since it reguires very little partition size and report back if successful.

I have tried two different android roms and the stock wm image from htc's site, all of which the screen doesn't work on. I will have a try with a cyanogen ROM and see if that makes a difference. Thanks

I just tried this rom and still no deal. This is very weird as I haven't had any issues with the screen at all, the phone is still in new physical condition.
Does anyone want to have a stab in the dark, as I really need to use it as a GPS tomorrow and any help would be appreciated.
Tell me what the steps you take to install a new ROM. Do you have MAGLDR or clk? Have you task29 yet? Are you sure your using the right partition? Are you using nand or sd Android?
If all else fails maybe check out this thread to reinstall
MAGLDR and then cwm. I've had problems in the past installing HyperDroid without
wiping my SD card first. Maybe check out this nand ROM instead or Coredroid found in my signature.

When installing a new rom, I have resized the magdlr partition, then copied the .zip to the sd card, then in ad recovery installed the zip through there. This has worked fine in the past. I followed the videos you have linked and I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right and yes ive used task29 several times. In AD Recovery every time it states that installation has been successful. I have also formatted my SD card many times.
The ROM you linked, I can find download links on the page, not sure if I'm just missing them.
I just tried an SD card rom, its doing the same thing, no touch input is accepted.
Does NAND roms and SD roms not working imply that it could well be hardware? I just dont understand as it stopped working when I was reflashing yesterday and it was not dropped or roughly handled in anyway during this process.
I am now going to investigate MTTY (for bad blocks) and try reflashing back to original WM again. Please post more suggestions if anyone has them.
Another update: I just restored to default using the method listed below.
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/15/how-to-restore-stock-rom-on-htc-hd2-video/
It took around 40-ish minutes and still no input from the screen, this is seriously frustrating.
WM boots fine and everything, but still no input is accepted.
I'm sorry to say but if your having the same problem with all that then it sounds like the digitizer stopped working. Maybe someone else knows something I don't so I would wait to see if they could help out.

Thanks mate, I am not sure why it would have just stopped last night. Appreciate all the help! I'll see if anyone else has any suggestions.
It's not a problem. I do have to admit that it does seem pretty odd the timing of it. Hopefully it's a not the digitizer and someone would be able to point out what might be the cause of everything.

This may seem a little crazy, but after having a search online about my issue, it seems that a ribbon going to the screen / digitizer is behind the power button on the HD2s, which apparently can get loose and after a sharp press of the button it started accepting screen input again!
The issue for me now is that when the power button it will stop accepting input again, untill I press it firmly again. I think I may need to open up the phone and check all the connections now.
