job control off error

startup.txt is just fine that is not an issue. I booted up the first time and it worked b ut then after a restart it tells me that userdata.img and system.img could not be found however they are where they should be at.
I have Energy.Leo.21911.Sense2.5.Cookie.Aug.06 rom and I have shubCRAFT_v1.3_1GB android. I do not have the android files in android folder because that didn't work either so I just put them in the main sd card directory.
Ok so anyway once it gives me that error it continues on with the long string of numbers and I think RAAC and it goes like it's going to boot up but it takes forever. Anyone have any clue?

Put it all in an 'Android' folder AND change the startup.txt 'set cmd' line?
worth a try.
failing that, format and start again.

as said, reformat your card and try again. Oddly enough that happened on my sons phone until I formated within windows which is suppose to be a no no for sd cards...but desperate times called for desperate measures.
by the way, this isnt a development post.

If you store your Android files in the root of your SD card (haret, zimage, etc), then sometimes Android makes a folder called Android on your SD card and then tries to boot from there.
If your keep your Android files in the root of your SD card, just delete that Android folder, it should only have like one data file in it that gets rewritten anyway. That should let you boot up fine.

Well it was the Tom and the way I extracted it on my SD card
sent from my HTC HD2 running chuckydroidXrom and shubcraft 1.3 cm6

HELP! can't mount SD card (i've already tried all the fixes)

I've been using android on my phone for awhile, and tried a bunch of different builds and never got this error. Yesterday when i was switching back to shubcraft all of the sudden the boot loader gives me
mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: invalid argument
failed
failed to mount sd card. cannot continue.
/bin/sh: cant't access tty; job control turned off
i tried loading just about ever build and get the same thing.
I've changed the startup.txt and i always reformat before i switch builds. i was thinking it might be the sd card itself, but it works fine in winmo.
if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated, im having android withdrawls...
oh and its the stock 16gb class 2
EDIT: It randomly started working again...strange...

This Is What I Do
I was getting either the same thing or something very close to it on about 2 rom to the best of my understanding is when your trying to flash (for lack of better words) a new rom you still have some left over traces either on your storage card or the phone so what you need to do is format your SD card and reflash your phones rom.
I took the origin file put it on my sd card unzipped it there went into the android rom folder cut the plain android folder paste it withe the other folders then reased every folder EXCEPT the PLAIN ANDROID FOLDER now put the sd card in the phone enable the the sound then install android.
To be able to watch the process after you flash your rom go to settings, system, power (battery) and uncheck everything so it doesn't sleep. when you install now you will see the progress and will be able to read the progress if you see 2 things have failed
This is my process and it hasn't failed yet when I didn't do it this way I had fails.

you can search a tool named SDFORMATER V2.0, it will be worked.

okay this is now happening to me as well!
had been using Android and various different builds without hitch.
but today after trying the Hyperdroid build the sd card fails to mount on startup.
Editing the startup.txt does nothing, have also flash to the latest chuckyrom and formatted the sd card time and time again and tried different builds.
anyone have any other suggestions?
Ta

working again now.
the fix for me was to reupload my backup to the sd, format then upload the required new build.
very odd...

[Q] freeze on rebooting

Hi guys,
I've been trying out different android builds but after a while it won't boot in android anymore.
I run the CLRAD and HaReT, it show the command lines and then freezes on the HTC screen.
It is not the first time I'm launching it, everything is allways set up the way I like it and then I want to reboot a final time and it freezes. (first boot only takes 10 min.) Then I have to take out the battery to reset, but everytime after it freezes, tried waiting for +1 hour but no changes.
When I delete all the android files from my SD card and copy the original ones it restarts again and I have to setup everything again.
I tried new wm roms (Miri HD2 wm6.5.x) different radios (now 2.12.50.02.2),
the new HSPL3 but nothing seems to solve this.
edit: now I'm trying to use the mdeejay froyo HD v3.7 rom
I've searched the forum and other users seem to have the same problem, but no solutions have come forward. The people replying allways seem to think it is the first boot that takes 10 min. but it's not that. First boot works fine.
I would love to have a solution so I can start using android on a daily basis.
If you need more info, just ask.

I was having the same problem initially...very frustrating. Now i found the permanent solution for this problem. The problem on the second time or more on rebooting is depending how do you install the code in the root of SD card. Please follow the instruction carefully as each ROM (depending on which one you use) may require the files to store diffrently in the "root" of SD card. So read carefully after you unzip the code, where should you transfer the files in the SD card. Either under SD root or SD\Android (directory).Eg. I'm using FroyoStone_Sense V3.2 ; use 7-Zip File Manager program (can be download), then execute (click on the downloaded file : FroyoStone_Sense-V3.2.7z ) with the 7-Zip File Manager then you will get 2 directory 1. Android 2. Media and one readme.txt file. Copy the directory 1 and 2 in you root of your SD card. Then you run thru file manager, CLRCAD.exe follow by haret.exe . This the first setup. Let it run and setup your device. It will work and the second time you reboot, just run CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe as usual, your device will work perfectly..Good luck.

Hi, Just to add another note for you convenience if you are using different android build ef Mdeejay_Froyo_Sense_v.2.4.2_NextSense; when you extract the downloded file using 7-Zip File Manager, you will get 2 directories 1. AndroidApps and 2. Media with the rest of files including CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe .Copy and paste exactly the structure into your SD card. It will run beautifully and you will not have probelm on freesing on 2nd reboot even for the next reboot...hope it helps and try it out.thx.

I've the very same situation and Khairon i tried that method doesn't work...
Still same issue...
Any one can solve this?
cheers

Hi, use file using 7-Zip File Manager program to extract the downloaded zipfile. I've tried severals Android ROM builds and it works well on my HD2 after 2 weeks of trial and error on the freezing after the 2nd reboot. To increase your chance of success, reformat the SD card only then copy the files into the SD card.
Thx

all done, still same 2nd boot = freez
dont understand wots wrong
i am using the mjeedy's revolution build
is there any way to completely burn the android to HD2 like wince roms?
cheers

i was having exactly same problems as u, so i formatted my card with a card formatter, not through windows but used a card formatter, installed android agian and bingo it works, im using droidrom, radio 2.12, with the card format do full reset not quick this should work

full format is not working either
I also noticed that there is a file popping up on my SD card : EncFiltLog.menc
Searching around points to SD card encryption, but this is turned of in windows.
I checked with Miri, who made my windows rom and he said it's not set in the rom itself.
But this might explain everything, when I reboot the linux bootloader can't read the SD card because of the encryption.
Only thing now is to turn it off, but how can I do this when it is off in windows

I also had that file today on my "goldcard", the old 2GB SD-card shipped with my HD2. I tried the old card, because I can't start android (on 16GB sandisk) anymore.

Hi, I have the same problem.
Reboot freeze on 16GB Kingston.
Working fine on 2GB SD.
On both SD card is the same formating.

it doesn't seem to be related to the SD card i guess, I also tried my original 2GB card instead of my regular 16GB.
Both give me the same problems.

Hey anyone got a resolution to this??
my build works on my gb but not my 6gb card???

do you use winmo,and which rom do you want to flash, and what steps do you make?

Yes, i am using a winmo, HTC HD2
i tried many roms, and i am talking about the ROM, not android.
and on each ROM i tried to load different Android, but it still
do not work.........stuck on a screen every time
Basically i use "energy rom", http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
and tried with American Android ((( this one worked on a first sd -card)))
steps from a beginning : i flash rom on my phone, after hard reset, i flash it from my PC. then i copy the "Android" folder on sd card of my phone, then with "file explorer" i enter the "android" file ((for example - AMERICAN ANDROID)) , i choose CLRCAD, (nothing happens) and then i choose the HARET and loading begins. after that just a screen with HTC logo, a black one. i waited for 20 min, and more - nothing changes. (( tried to reset and load again, same screen, no progress....))
i just have no idea what else to do....
been searching for solution for few days now.
some say that updating the rom helps, but done that.

When i were using winmo i were formatting my sd on such a case. If it doesn't work i was formatting winmo too.

ye....... the problem is that i done that all.........
just weird.

for example - AMERICAN ANDROID....i take it from your writing.you must put the folder Android to sd card not american android folder. i mean
sd card/android/clrcad then haret. not sd card/american android/android/clrcad

of course, i understand it.
i read manual for 100 times now, just to be sure i am doing things right.
i know the basics.
so lets see :
format to phone and sd card - checked
updated rom - checked
different sd card - checked
different rom with different android - checked
if i think about it know - phone is not working that's why i can't install android.
but - every rom is working good and android did worked once on a old sd card.
so have no idea what to do next.
at first i wanted to copy files from sd card where Android did worked, so there were file named "data.img" , couldn't copy it. don't know why.
so, in order for android to work on a phone now , it must create same file now. maybe card is somehow protected and doesn't allow phone to do it................. but i can copy all other stuff on it.
my knowledge and fantasy just ends here, but it kills me that such a simple thing doesn't work.
and if it doesn't work on an old card either, so can't figure out what causing this problem.

i can lastly say: download a new copy of american android.wipe everything from your sd.unrar american android in your pc.find the android folder.copy android folder to your sd via usb or card reader.clrcad then haret. the rom creates a new data.img in first boot.this rom may take half an hour to load. because i use it also. sorry if i'm unable to help

i had the same problem installing AmeriCanAndroid. it seemed like you did everything right from what i could tell anyway. i would try a different sd build to see if thats the problem.

did try, makes no difference
what about you? did it help, switching sd card?
been trying now different Android, same thing.

@angel182
At the time i was a bit of a noob still am really but when i installed a new sd build i think it solved my problem. if i remember correctly i may have even tried a different winmo rom (omega) which may have helped as well. i really cant be to sure because its been some time now & my memory aint what it use to. lol.
I will say that if you ever want to go to a nand version and dont like it for what ever reason you can always switch back. I'm sorry I couldnt of been more help.

[Q] MAGLDR not seeing all directories on SD card

I've always booted Android from my SD card using RunDroid under Windows 6.5. But I broke my HD2 so I bought another used HD2.
This "new" HD2 already has Android (NAND) installed and it's using MAGLDR 1.13. The installed Android version runs fine so I don't want to remove it. Instead, I simply want to run the same Android I've been running on my old HD2 from SD.
So I boot into MAGLDR, goto Services -> Boot Settings-> AD-SD Dir to pick the directory I want to boot my Android from.
Problem is, the directory list MAGLDR is showing isn't anywhere near complete. It only shows the first 9 directories on the SD card (there are about 30 directories on the SD card). So I'm unable to choose the right directory to boot from.
This is a 16GB SD card formatted as FAT32. My old HD2 had no problems whatsovere reading from it (not in Win6.5, not in Android).
So does anybody know what's wrong here?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Perhaps some folders have an attribute set that is hiding them? -h for instance. Personally I'd create a new folder, test if mgldr can see it, and if it can, move the contents of the android folder into it. If itccan't, I'd backup the SD, and do a complete reformat of the card, including rebuilding the partition from scratch.

All directories can be viewed from within Android without problem...
Odd thing is, that MAGLDR is displaying all directory names in 8.3 format. In fact, I think it only shows the directories created from within WM 6.5. The directories it doesn't show are created from within Android.

I've copied the contents of the SD Card to my PC's harddrive, reformatted the SD Card and copied everything back.
It's still only showing the first 9 directories (only this time 9 different directories).
The card was formatted using FAT32 since I want the card to be readable under WM6.5 as well. But that shouldn't be a problem considering Android can read the SD card just fine.

try this just for kicks, if youcan be bothered,,,, empty teh card, put the dirs on in the ordser you want them to appear, one at a time. Im betting the first nine you drag across will appear.
Ive seen harddisks do the 8.3 thing unexpectedly, i'd be looking hard at the sd card. If you have another card available, definitely give it a test to compare.
As for the fat32 formatting, perhaps a non standard block size was used (or at least one magldr wasn't expecting, , remember magldr is a handfull of lines of code compared to androids many hundred thousand lines, , just saying 'well android can read it fine' is a bit like saying 'hey what gives, , my binoculars can't see the horsehead nebula, but the hubble can'
(astronerds, calm yourselves, yes i know you can see it thru a nice set of decent binos with a good lense/filter, it was just the first commonly known astro object i could think of )

Yeah it's showing the first 9 directories only so I did what you said and cleared the SD card and copied the Android folder first, then the rest. MAGLDR now saw the right Android directory and I was able to set it as boot directory. But now I have another weird problem. I've started a new thread since it's (I think) an unrelated problem.

why is this please help me asap

That was a problem to me when I started playing with nativesd, seeing only the first few directories, but if you just use the volume rocker to scroll down, you will get another page of the remaining directories and files, simple.

Just great reply - Thanks
