[Q] Nand Android - HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General

How can we boot ubuntu when we are using NAND ANDROID ROM?

sorry.....no idea...

I guess you have MAGLDR installed for NAND android booting.
So, the bad news is, currently you can boot Ubuntu from SD. But it's glitchy and many things don't work (touchscreen, wifi to begin with - it's non-functional).
The good news? I heard new Ubuntu 0.4 release for HD2 will support MAGLDR booting. Then it should work just ok.

Really? So, I just wonder, what version I am running ...
Touchscreen and On-Screen-Keyboard are working perfect in 0.3

Yes but with the 0.3 we cant boot with magldr no?

No, no Ubuntu boot with Magldr yet (v.0.3)
... I just pointed that touchscreen works properly

Haha, we are both right there was little misunderstanding.
Touchscreen works if you boot it with HaRET. If you boot it with MAGLDR, it doesn't.

NOW I have an idea. But I didn't test it and I don't know the result. Maybe I will try it as soon as I do backup of my current phone, as it requires flashing new android rom.
MAGLDR is one of the available NAND Android bootloaders. Second is cLK. And cLK supports fastboot.
Basically, it should be possible to boot ubuntu from sd just like it was done on Desire HD. Look at "instructions" section of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045910
I have no idea about the results. Any volunteers to test it?

That's interresting, I would prefer a MAGLDR version but that's an idea!
Too bad that I can't test it now

I tried the cLK/fastboot solution.
It works the same as MAGLDR. Touchscreen doesn't work. When I try to load bcm4329 (wifi module) it spits our errors and doesn't bring up any network interface. Also some errors about power management on login screen.
I was hopeful but to no avail :-( still no way to boot functional GNU/Linux when having linux in NAND.
fpu

Thank you for your return fpu
Too bad that it doesn't work like that...
So we have to wait for the 0.4 version, or slackware version... Hope that will be working one day!

Just want to add that I tried another "possible" solution - kexec.
I compiled tytung r10 kernel with kexec support and tried to load ubuntu 0.3 kernel and initrd.
Black screen is the result. So no luck here either.

is this the only rom that we can do it with? This looks nice I wondered if this could be done but I dont got the brains to do it lol but Im wondering can we just dual boot from madglr and chhose either to boot our andriod rom or wp7 rom, probably not but it would be very nice though
Nice! Now post a tut
I would rather android nand rom than wp 7 nand.
I feel that android is more suitable for my lifestyle than window phone 7.
Sure man, just gimme a few days i will post step by step, lot of work with my kid...lol

i feel the same but i didnt found better nand rom, superram nand dont work on my device like ad sd, so here is the best way for me WP7/Droid boot
that superram SD is not working for me
1) it couldn't init.gz so I had to change "newinit.gz" to init.gz and it found it (since it can't read startup.txt)
2) it boots till the lockscreen, but only uses 3/4 of hte screen and locks up freeze of death at lockscreen
how did you get yours to work?

I got the Superram to work past the lockscreen and through the device setup, but after that it just went to a black screen. I can push the back button and it take me back to setup, but can't get past that. You have to use the init.gz that letama posted... look in the sd dev section and there's a stickied thread about getting builds to work and letama's init.gz is posted somewhere in there. The only build I got working well so far is Tytungs NexusHD2 1.8 with a modified initgz someone posted in that same thread... but that build is working very well and fast for me so far... no stalling on lockscreen when turning on like you get with some sd builds. Battery drain was even as low as 2ma at one point for me!! I'm still playing with it to see what I can get as a consistent battery drain for standby.

Will be MEEGO avaible on SD via MAGDLR?

Will meego be availble as MAGDLR compatible SD build when released? I don't want to loose my current NAND build.
meego will not be flash via MAGDLR , but via something other
I hope so!
Just thought this thread deserved another reply after 850 views- i hope we can get Meego on SD!
The more OSes on SD the better in my opinion, if we can get big cards why not carry round another 3/4 and boot as wanted? Just to show off mostly, but i can really envisage picking out a different OS for different things.

Ofcourse it will be flashable via MAGLDR, but only after team DFT have ported it and they have suspended dev on it until after the official code is complete and bugs removed so should be around April time that we start to see dev going on again according to other info.

It will probably be bootable from sd via magldr, actually.... at least at first. They might make it flashable to nand if the bugs and everything are worked out well enough and they get the 3d drivers working. The version that will be released soon is booted off sd, I think, but it's very buggy and unfinished.

I didnt say SD wouldnt be first, simply that it WOULD be flashable via magldr (at some point) once final version has been ported and that wont happen until code has gone gold.

I know, but to say that they will definitely make a flashable version at some point might not be true... it may never run fast enough on the hd2 for them to even consider making a nand version. From my understanding, there are serious problems in getting 3d acceleration working on the hd2 hardware which may not be easily worked around... its similar to how they can't get 3d acceleration working in ubuntu, except that meego relies more on acceleration than ubuntu does. I'm sure they will get meego usable, but it might be slow and laggy unless they get acceleration working... and they may not go as far as making a nand version, while they will definitely make sd versions while developing it. Hopefully they will get it working great and make sd and nand versions, but we'll have to wait and see.
Sent from my HTC bravo using XDA App
to have the choice to flash meego into nand or start it from the sd card would be awesome, but as mentioned before, getting the 3d acceleration working is currently the main goal
if that option will be available that would be so great....

Need HELP! Need step by step instructions to get Android on my phone!

Alright, so I bought a used HD2 for $150 today and gave my fiancee my rooted Galaxy S running Bionix 2.2. Now I have this Windows 6.5 phone and no clue how to get it to run Android.
I have looked across the forums and all it does it make my head begin to smoke, lol. I am completely and utterly lost. I'd like to be able to boot into the multiple OS's, Android (preferably the HyperDroid ROM), Win7, and whatever the main third one is, and get that cool "Resistance is Futile" boot screen.
Right now though, I am reading about MAGLDR and stuff and it's saying I need radio and this and that and I have no clue what its talking about, nor any of the other stuff. I am quite surprised I was even able to root and ROM my Galaxy S, though I used a one click root and the ROM was a simple install.
Please help a daft idiot who is in dire need of some Android, lol.
EDIT:
Read this on the tmobile forum. I know nothing about radios, but I like the sound of the improved reception and battery life.
You will need to go to the XDA Developers website and find the ROM Development section. There are many to choose from. I use the Energy Sense with Cookie Classic and GTX ROM using the Froyo Sense 3.1 build. Also search for the thread on increasing the battery life. Changing the registry line code made a world of difference for me. Now I can easily have my HD2 in standby mode with auto sync and WiFi on for two days on one charge with light use. I am now using the Android 2.2 build as my daily OS. I am currently using radio 2.14.50.04 and previously had 2.12.50.02. Battery life on the newer radio for me is better when the phone is in use, about the same when not in use but the cell reception is much better than before.

Thanks man!
Now, if I use that method to get Android on my phone, will I later be able to have it dual boot with Win7, or triple boot with Win7 and Ubuntu?
It's not possible to 'thriple boot'.
Basically these are the steps you need:
Flash HSPL 2.08 on your HD2.
Flash the newest radio (2.15.50.14).
Flash MAGLDR.
Just look around for the links. They're all in the stickies anyway.
After that you csn flash WP7 to NAND and Android to the SD Card so you can dual-boot both. That's basically it.
Also, look on YouTube, there are handy guides on there.

I read on these very forums that its possible to triple boot, all the way up to quintuple boot. Someone made different splash screens for all the different boot OS's.
But thanks for the help though, I'll at least have Android soon enough.

If as u say "Triple or Quintuple boot" means running either WP7 or WinMo 6.5 exclusively as a base, then running multiple builds of android "SD style" ? Then yeah u could do dat....But u can't have both WP7 & WinMo 6.5 on d same device as they both need exclusive storage in d same memory location....hweva if d above has been made possible? then pls do reply adding d link of such a post as i'm curious as 2 how it was pulled off.

Thank you! Helped for me
No sorry. It's not possible. What's possible is to do is to boot WM and Ubuntu, WM and Android, WM and MeeGo (not yet released), WP7 and Android and possibly Android/WP7 and Ubuntu. Not too sure if you can do the last one. It's possible to have four OS' on the HD2, but not at the same time so it's not really 'triple booting' or 'quadruple booting' as you can only have two running at the same time.
No point in trying to contradict me dude.
Oh and btw that bootscreen you just flash from HSPL. Somebody could make one with an Apple logo, that doesn't mean it can run iOS.
Got it, running bluetopia now, you guys are awesome.
EDIT: NVM, got everything I needed, thanks all.

[Q] Why different ROM versions? (CLK/MAGLDR)

Hi everyone,
Been reading a lot on both boot loaders (CLK & MAGLDR),
Now I know what are the pros and cons of both.
My question is:
Why there must be two versions of the same ROM, one compatible with each boot loader?
AFAIK, both support the CWM-Recovery, and hence can install ROMs in .zip format.
So, why is it that developers release two versions of the same rom?
I'd really appreciate some lights in here.
Thank you all.

Hi,
I don't know if you have read the guide in my sig...number 2,
but I'm sure there is good information in there.
You can also post this question there and again I'm sure T-Macgnolia will help with any doubts you have.
AFAIK,but don't quote me,cLK is dependent on a single type of kernel(Tytung),which is not present in all ROMS.

Thank you malybru,
I've just read everything on this fantastic reference thread, you recommended.
I've really learned things I didn't know about MAGLDr menus and CWMR
I've also read the CLK section,
Still haven't found that specific answer I was looking for.
But thank you anyway, and tell you what, I am going to post my question there,
Thank you
EDIT:
Maybe it has something to do with the RMNET/PPP thingy, donno for sure!!!
CLK Makes ur device behave as if its a native android device...It has support for ROM Manager and its features...MAGLDR doesn't have such...Hwever i prefer MAGLDR as its has better data connection stability while CLK disconnects intermittently (RMNET/PPP issue).

Cedesmith ported Little Kernel few days before MAGLDR but released it a few days later and I am glad he didn't stay silence even though MAGLDR was out and cLK was a little buggy at that time. Let's say that he felt the need to release what he was working on!
cLK Roms can work with MAGLDR bootloader, but it is not happening for avoiding confusion.
It is simple, by changing the boot partition from yboot to rboot in MAGLDR a cLK ROM can work on MAGLDR (with PPP)
Now, why we have 2 different ROMs since they can both work in a single ROM.
Well some people prefer RMNET over PPP, there is a way for Android to identify on boot which version of bootloader the system has and choose PPP or RMNET.
In latest development T-Mobile wifi call is being developed, but for it to work libhtc_ril_wrapper needs to be removed (cLK needs it for data connections), on the other hand RMNET can work with out it as well.
One more is the yboot format of the boot partition which is currently used. If that is changed by only a few ROM devs it will make a mess and many people will be confused.
So in simple words 2 reasons why we don't have a single ROM for both bootloaders:
- boot partition format
- T-Mobile wifi call

Thank you zach,
Does it also have something to do with Tytung Kernel?
I mean, CLK is only compatible with ROMs which have this specific Kernel only?
Thank you again for the explanation

Mobile Network Problem with CLK

Hello I have a MGLDR Nand Rom and when I install it as CLK, I have no connection in mobile network. I install the CLK bootloader and install the MGLDR Rom on CWM. Then I install the same RC 3D Mix V5. When I turn on my mobile notwork then it goes on too, but I get no connection is established. Is there a fix for this problem?
Many Thanks

Why are you installing a MAGLDR ROM onto a cLK setup? You need a cLK ROM, or at least one like TBD Sensation or RCMix that have a yes/no option during the CWM install process to select either cLK or MAGLDR installation. CLK needs a whole lot of extra files for data to work as it uses a completely different protocol to MAGLDR (PPP on cLK as opposed to RMNET on MAGLDR) - without those files, scripts and build.prop entries you will never get it to work.
re
it is a Runnymade rom, which I have as MGLDR. I can choose RC3D mix and to reinstallation also MGLDR or CLK. In this kernel are all negotiating scripts.
Many Thanks

I'm sure, this Problem isn't a problem by one Person, I'm very interested if this a Kernel , Rom or clk problem...
On magldr i have no Problems only on clk... and only the last builds SensationXL / Runnymede...

I've done a task29 and installed a fresh winmo !
I've changed the HSPL!
And now my Friend, nothings happens ? Same Problem ...no DATA !
At least I'll do a full wipe ! Have Installed a fresh WinMo and changed to clk 1.3 , and what should i say ....it works... wow ...how Stupid is that ?

Hey, it's undeniable that the judgement of where to put this thread was incorrect and had to be moved, but that's been sorted out now so drop it.
And I ask about the APN settings because there are tonnes of people who don't do the simple things first, and why use a complicated full wipe/install until you've ruled out all of the simple things? Sure you have checked it but if you look through the forums you will be absolutely amazed at how stupid people can be. I also ask about this because in Typhoon CM7 I get automatic APN settings but in Sense 3.0 and 3.5 ROMs which I've tried I always get incorrect settings. So there, have I expanded on my reply sufficiently for you?
