Hello everyone
It's been a while since I've posted here so my apologies. I've been so excited with Android on my HD2 I haven't really gotten around to posting, Obsessive Flashing Disorder .
So I have numerous questions for y'all.
1) NAND is horrible for me. I flash MAGLDR, I've also used the Clockwork Mod, but whenever a build installs, it sticks on the white screen with the "htc" logo in green smack bang in the middle of the screen. Left it for over half an hour in school while in school, all that came up was the setup quiz, which btw was extremely unresponsive and as I pressed next it would go back to the white screen, then I'd wait 5 minutes, and I'd be presented with the next step. I've flashed a NAND ROM multiple times and tried a Clockwork Mod ROM and it's the same. However, on the Clockwork ROM I Managed to complete setup and could send a text, only because my girlfriend text me and I could pull down the "Notifications" tab. It stuck on the home screen saying "loading" constantly. SD Card was partitioned properly too...
2) Gave up with a NAND ROM and tried Windows Phone 7. Loved it! Just needed to activate it. Got skype, got the number, America and Canada only. No problems, the guy gave me the number for UK and I phoned it on my landline to be told to call between 8 and 6 Mon-To-Friday. Fine, I copy my old SD build of android to my SD Card and tell MAGLDR to boot from Android SD instead. It goes fine, loads up, then restarts and I'm told "cannot find zImage", this process just repeats and repeats. Did I do something idiotic or?
Note: The SD build is from the original way of booting WinMo then Android.
3) Wake up lag. Ugh, I get such bad wake up lag. Unfortunately it can take up to 2 minutes for my phone to unlock. Next time I'll try and grab a video camera and record it. Sometimes I also have to press the unlock key numerous times for it to actually even do anything. My phone, SD Card or? There was no lag on WP7, and my SD card is a 16Gb Class 4 card.
4) Colours on the display become inverted. Yeah, inverted, but more towards the whitish end. Again I'll try and get photo evidence next time, but I have to restart and then everything is fine. Kernel problems, or is my phone starting to give up the ghost?
Many thanks guys, I aim to start helping out a lot more!

1) & 2)Stick with WP7
To boot from SD, make sure u set up magldr to boot from the correct directory by going into services, and choosing the folder. If it still doesn't work, then its likely you have to do the following mod:
This Thread
3) Got the same problem, 8GB Class 6
4) Got the same problem, happens randomly and so far only on sense builds for whatever reason.
Haha I would, if there was Angry Birds and associated games
3) Bizarre... I've read it's Kernel related so...
4) Yeah I only use Desire HD builds too. Looks like it is sense based.
Alright Moon2, thanks for your help!
hello all,
last week I bought the samsung focus from the US. (i am from Austria by the way..) and the first 3 days were absolute great and I was happy about my new samsung. but on the 4th day the phone shut down all the time, I cant stop it.
now when I start the phone I can only see "Samsung" and dark colour. this picture belongs to hours and hours. nothing happens.
I don't know what I can do, I have already tried it with the "hard reset" and a "micro SD" because I have heared that this 2 options can help.
But it doesnt work
Can anybody help me with this problem?
or knows anybody when there will be a new update?
I am going crazy because of this situation....
thanks for all your help!

Did you have a microSD card installed in the phone before the phone started rebooting?
Tussi1 - it's me again.. forgotten the password...
thanks for your comment!!
When I get the phone without microSD and I have started it without it. and everything works well the first 2-3 days.
I bought the mircoSD when I saw that I can't start the phone anymore. Because I read a lot that such a microSD can help when you this problem with samsung focus. I bought 2 different types (different GB's) but nothing works.
It was a 4 GB sanDisk and a 8 GB kingstonDisk. Both doesn't work!
As I already wrote there is only the SAMSUNG design on the dark display...
do you think I need a other microSD for rebooting it?
thanks!!!

At this point I would just take it back and exchange it. Sounds like more work than it's worth dealing with.
Did you format the SD card?
I realize you can't get past the boot screen currently but WP7 is notorious for SD card incompatibility.
Also, have you attempted to boot the phone while connected to a PC?
If these attempts fail, a return may be your only option but how feasible is it to return a phone to the US from Austria?
I believe you need to remove the SD Cards and do a complete reformat. I ran into the same issue after using an incompatible SD Card. Pull the Card, Turn OFF the phone by holding Power Button when NOT connected to power. Hold down Volume Down, Power button, and Camera button whilst the phone is off. That will make it turn on and ask if you want to format.
I believe that was it. Anyone know different?
Ive had 2 HD2's and its been the same problem for both.
No matter what rom i use on my hd2 it ALWAYS freezes(I was having the same issues with my first hd2 but eventually the screen on it stopped working and i sent it back for warranty and got a new one)
Ive flashed 2 other hd2's that belong to some friends and i did the exact same thing to their phones that i did to mine and they dont have any issue.
I dont know what to do and why am i the unlucky one
Please XDA Community i come to you for Guidance! I know this phone can be amazing but why is it being so stubborn!
Can it be SD related?
Does the area beneath the battery shell, behind the phone, feel particularly hot? If so, it's likely overheating (HTC calls it a current leakage... something?) and if you're under warranty you may wish to send it back.
Otherwise, there are fixes (suck as devising your own extra heatsink, reflowing the solder).... but it's non-trivial.
Does it freezes while using any particular applications, and what happens when it freezes???? I mean does it get to normal by itself or you have to pull the battery out and restart your HD2.
I am asking this because I was also having the same issue with my previous HD2, and then I came across this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189544
which explains a lot about bad blocks which affect the android build.

yea sorry im just at the point where idk what else to do.
Lemme be more specific about this.
Theres times where it would actually boot up to where i can make a call but only for less than a couple minutes most of the time. There are times where i get lucky and it stays on for a good while ( couple hours ) and it'll stay that way as long as i dont use it. It freezes up starting up just about any app so i have this odd feeling it might be my sd card. But then i dont understand why the next thing happens. After i remove the battery and put it back in and boot either 1 of the 3 happens.
1) 1EFATAL HIT 1
2) Gets stuck on Go go go
3) gets stuck after go go go when rom tries to boot up.
Only thing i can do to get it to boot up again is take the battery out and leave it out for a good 10-15 minutes.
I tried Task29 and reinstalling magldr, cwr, and Rafdroid Rom and i still get the same crap
The Phone gets a little warm under the cover sometimes but its right were the micro sd is located
I'm having the same problem. My HD2 will freeze if I play games on it causing me to pull out the battery and when I boot it up, sometimes it will freeze at the MAGLDR screen, will freeze as soon as the rom boots. Right now my phone seems stable and I'm only using it for texting and making calls and nothing else for the fear of damaging the phone any further. I have a TMOUS phone btw.

Last question to u, that when u had ur stock windows rom in ur mobile , does any thing happened like this.
if not, then the problem is not in your mobile or sdcard, the problem is in the method u are intalling by.
1)try to get back to windows mobile.
2)install hardspl4 - 2.08 (not Hardspl3 - 2.08)
3)install magldr 1.13 (not magldr 1.11)
4)install clockworldmod recovery 3.0.0.5 (if ur rom is a cwm rom.)
5)Now flash the rom.
6)give it a try, if not any issue, then
7)push the thanks button. .. lol

That's actually the same thing I do.
Alright I know this might sound ridiculous but it seemed to work ( so far ). After 6 hours of trying to get this phone to work I decided to try something I saw on another thread. I got an icepack and did a complete install while having the phone on the icepack to keep it from getting warm. To my suprise it worked... I'm using my phone now with no issues yet and its been about 12 hours and it hasn't frozen yet. Although it did do a random reboot once ( I have a few bad blocks so I'm guessing that might be the reason). But Yea this worked for me some how. I'll update on any issues I get as soon as I can.

Same problem for me. My hd2 always freezes with any sense ui android build. MIUI and Nexus HD rom works fine.
My simple advise is... reinstal windows. And try again.
This worked for me when i started with the HD2.

Hi I had the same problem, but I sent my phone for repairs and it never froze again. According to HTC they just replaced the main board. But before I did that I actually flashed the official RUU (windows 6.5), and it continued to freeze, so I was quite sure it was a hardware problem. Indeed after repairs my phone didn't freeze anymore.

I also had 2 x HD2 which did this.
Froze when got to hot, or if using gps or mobile data.
Sold it 2 weeks ago, now own Desire HD and it's BRILLIANT!!
So now ive been running rafdroid on the phone without an sd and it runs.. but laggy since theres almost no space left in phone and it isnt getting hot. It only gets hot when it operates with the SD inside.
anyone know anything about that?
same problem
i have the exact same issues. the phone freezes every time it boots, be it magdlr nand, sd, wm 6.5 anything. however my old hd2 had no problems at allbut i broke it changing the screen digitizer and lcd.
(the white plastic on the connector that connects the lcd and digitizer to the main board broke.)
im pretty sure the reboots are mother board related but i don't know if telling tmobile or htc that will do anything because the phone is old. (i got this other hd2 from a guy on craigslist.)
I had the same freezing problem with my HD2. After all the research I've done, none of them worked. Then i put the phone into the freezer for a minute and took an ice pack, placed it on the back of the phone where CPU is located. While holding the ice pack, I re installed the ROM and at the and freezing issues were solved. It never froze again.
I hope this solves your problem too.

I want to ask whether this cooling trial fixed freezing problem forever? suppose if u use your set for more than for hour streaming over wifi? never it got freeze again?
The best solution that you can flash back to WinMo 6.5 and run Android from SD Card.
I have the same issue... but...
Make a complete instalation with an ice pack?? Are u joking me?? It works??
well... i have not to lose... i will report if i try it...
I flashed stock rom and run android from sdcard. but when i press Haret.exe is going to HTC green logo and after restarting. some solution?
Similar problem
I have a similar problem. But with two different phones.
I bought LG Optimus One about two years ago. After a few months, some freezes appeared... I've sent it to manufacturer three times and every time they changed some parts... but nothing have helped. I've made some experiments (another battery, SIM card, MicroSD card, custom ROMs) and than I realized, that the problem occurs only while the mobile internet is ON.
This summer, my friend offered me used HTC HD2 and I bought it. He used to have Android there with no problems. After a few weeks, the freezes occured again. And again: I can surf internet all day by wifi with no problems, but when I tunr on the mobile internet (MI), the phone freezes. The back cover of battery is a bit hot, but this appears while long using the phone too without MI (without freezes).
I've tried almost everything to solve this problem: changed SIM card, changed SD card, everytime with flash of the newest ROM... nothing helped.
I'm not sure if the problems with LG OO and HTC HD2 have the same reason, but I can't believe I can buy two phones with similar problems without transfering them.
What aboutthat crazy plan of flashing with ice cooling? Does it work afret a few months too?
PS: Sorry for my English
My HD2 with the TyphooN CM7 v3.5.4 Rom one day just frozen. Befre that its ran 2 or 3 months smootly. After when I da a soft reset I got a "white screen" (without the logo). So I did a hard reset and this time when I started the pda its show me the HTC logo just with half jellow background. Of course its stucked again in this state. I started again in bootloader mode and tryed to connect the computer. Its worked but thats day I had no time for this. So I just took the accumulator out and I put the HD2 aside. Whe I arrived back I just put back the accu and started the phone... and its ran again.
Next day the problem appeared again. The phone frozen so many different position. Showed me white screen and after the hard reset is ran but frozen the androud logo. Hardreset, run but frozen the screen lock. Hard reset and its showed me the starting HTC logo but its started to put slowly horizontal black lines and once its did a strange sound to. The long story short: I did the same rituale but this time its not worked. So I taked the contact with the store about the garantie. And started to set back the phone in the original state (wipe, factory rom back, SPL back) but I coudn't. The pda is droped me errors all the time. I cant change back even the HSPL to SPL. So I just took the accumulator out and went to sleep that day...
Next day morning was a same story. I put back the accu and the phone did everything what I want. I succesfully wiped the old memory, installed the official rom and set back the SPL. Ready to send back to the store... And I wanted to testing it but this time the pda didnt frozen. Its running.. yeah like the windows phone 6.5 usually, nothing any special (hovever the wifi bacome shorter than the android). Two days and nothing.
So I want to ask somebody because Im still think there is a hardware problem. Its can be possibel there is a harware problem and bacause the WP6.5 not use the phone as much as an Android do the problem is not appeared jet.
Or this was a software problem and I just have to start everything from the first step (I dont like the wp6.5)
There is any test program for the WP6.5 wich can be test your hardware?
Thank you for any help, and thank you to read this little bit long post.
Hey,
I'm sorry, but what's an accumulator ?
Another thing, were you running stuff on your device that made it run hotter than usual ?
Sometimes, overheating may cause unpredictable issues.

Oh! Thanks for the answer so much
Accumulator = Battery. Sorry for the word, english is really not my native .
I didn't feel its hotter than usual. Most of the time the phone is hotter a little bit but also when I run the official wp6.5 system.
Today I tried to put wp7 on the phone but this system still not love my SD cards (I bought a new Kingston just for this but stil no) so I tryed a new ICS rom. Its runed nice and I just think my problem solved (I started to belive there was some kind software crash) but now again frozen (when I trired to open the galery its frozen).
Maybe the problem is the overheating. I have to wait every time a few hours when I can do anything whit the machine. Now I reinstall the offical rom again again but I dont want to use the HD2 with the WP6.5 system and I still dont think this situation is naturally. Can you give me a good hint how can I test the hardware above the WP6.5?

Don't give up. And by the way, gallery crashes are ICS issues and are not being caused by your device, be happy. .
Try to run a CPU-consumer application/game and see if it overheats/reboots or freezes. Most HD games can do that, or try browsing the internet for about 30 minutes using 3G .

I put back the original rom. And the phone was totaly freezed when I entered the gallery and now cant move tought the HTC logo since a day. Its did this many time but with the android and not the wp6.5.
But now I have reason to send back. Set back the original statement was succesfull fortunetly. I know its a really good phone and I hope this issues just bacause I get a wrong one.
hey! please help.
I'm experiencing my screen freezes on me and will not work even I waited or press on the keys. Sometimes it will suddenly turn black screen, it will also not budge, I can press on the keys and it will light up but still no go. This happens everytime and all i can do is remove the battery and turn it back on to make it work but after passing the CyanogenMod screen, it will hang and do the freezing again. Sometimes it will pass that and get me to my home screen but after a few secs it will do it again. Please help! I cant do anything on my phone anymore!
I have installed NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10.1_V2.2 before this happened and I've tried to partition my sd and reinstall the same os but this happens again so what i did is change and install NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10.1_V2.6 but still the same thing happen. After the install of every os that i've tried, it will go through the setup process and stay good for 30mins or so but after that the problem occurs and it will not stop. Now my phone is constantly freezing and stays in black and can't use it anymore. I'm running MAGLDR V.1.13 and NativeSD..
Every help and post will be greatly appreciated..
By the way, im a noob. and I've chacked a lot of thread but nothing helped so here..
thanks in advance!!
This may not be correct, but make sure you are using a Class 10 Card as if it is a slow card, it may not function on NativeSD, try a different installation, like DataOnExt, and see if it works.

I'm actually using an 8GB Imation HC Class 4 card.. would it matter? i'm not very familiar with the difference of the cards.. And by the way, I usually get the messages like "Trebuchet not responding" and "Procces system not responding". Please help.
I will try to go through the DataOnExt though. Thanks!!
That may well be the problem, I read somewhere when you use a lower Class + not well known brand SD Card, you face problems. Do you face laggy menus? Oh and that card should work fine on DataOnExt. I've tried it several times on a crappy 2GB fake Sandisk Micro SD from eBay and it worked flawlessly
