Help. Trouble installing MIUI 1.7.8 on HD2 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi guys.
This is my first shot at installing a custom ROM (MIUI 1.7.8) on an HD2. I've done a couple of native Android devices with great success but this one is killing me.
I have followed the instructions listed on the english MIUI page and successfully installed HSPL3, magldr, and Clockwork recovery... but when I go to boot the phone is hits the HTC logo and won't go any further and when I tried installing 1.7.1 it would go the HTC logo and then reboot over and over again.
Obviously I have done something wrong so any advice would be most appreciated.
Thanx in advance!

Which MIUI rom are you using? And also most NAND installs take a little bit on the HTC logo at first and it feels like it isn't working but it actually is

Make sure partition size is correct when you flash cwm in
flash.cfg

The rom I am using I found here: forums.miui.us/content.php?12-ROM-Downloads
It sat on HTC for over 30 minutes so I'm pretty sure its stuck lol
As far as partioning... where excatly does that take place in the process or where do I change it at?
The instructions I used for the install are these:en.miui.com/a-52.html

Before you flash the rom you must do cwm partition.miui roms usually use 5-150-5 partition. It you are unfamiliar to this there is a tool by ksubedi at the first page of nand development

first you need to make sure you are using 150 MB recovery it can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
and I suggest you to download the MIUI 1.7.8 from miuiandroid.com and then download the language pack that comes with the rom. ( this is the version i am using now 1.7.8 beta )
and it will make a couple of restarts at the first boot it's normal and will take some time to first boot, so be patient.

Thanx!
I will give these a whirl when I get home and let you know what turns up.

OK!
I did a task29 wipe and reloaded MAGLDR with the correct partitions and it fired right up.
Thanks for all of the help!

[Q] HD2 stuck on load screen after flashing Gingerbread

Hello all,
I decided to take the plunge and install Gingerbread on my HTC using instructions in this weeks MicroMart. Having completed all of the steps my HTC is now stuck on a boot screen where the screen is black but HTC appears in green.
I was wondering if anyone could suggest a fix?
The steps I took to install Gingerbread were as follows:
Installed HSPL (2.08)
Installed Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
Installed MAGLDR 1.1.3
Installed Clockworkmod Recovery
Installed Gingerbread 2.3
You most likely flashed the wrong size CWM that you need. Is there a link to what ROM you downloaded and what recovery size? You should be flashing the 150M for 2.3 AOSP ROM's.
Actually, heres a nice stable gingerbread ROM you can use.
http://www.multiupload.com/WD83QRSA99
Download that and and flash this Clockworkmod file.
http://www.multiupload.com/LVBWUM9L28
That should work pretty good.
Ah, I think I downloaded a 400 one, will go and investigate.
Thank you for the tip
Check out post #3. You can use them two files. They'll work perfectly and leave you with about 240MB left of internal storage. If you want more partition your SD card with an Ext3 partition and it'll use Apps2SD.
Hi, Andriod now loads but it doesn't recognise my T-Mobile Sim.
Any ideas?

[Q] problem flashing pyramid

Hi there i have a problem flashing Pyramid HTC WWE 1.35.401.1 i wiped everything i have magldr and clk i used clk to partition my 2gb sd ext 2 1024 i used recovery for 5/180/5 but i always get error about image file on sd card 0 and sometimes it freezes to please waiting processing system, what am i dooing wrong please help
If you really have magldr and clk that is the part you are doing wrong because they cannot be used both. You have to chose one of them. But i think you meant cwm instead of clk.
Is the image corrupted? You can try downloading and installing it again.

OK it worked but now i'm stuck at htc quietly brilliant logo for about 15 mins what should i do?
Anyone pls help i know i'm doing something wrong but what ? I really want that rom
Is there a specific kernel or sofware i need to instal before flashing rom?
the kernel is included in the rom and you do not need anything else. if you flash the rom the way it's described in the thread everything should work.
I tryed installing other pyramid rom but the same frozen at logo screen, i waited for about an hour before i took out the battery ,when i bought the phone it had nexus one rom installed, it is thd only rom that works. Maybe i have wrong spl or radio ?

I've tried formating it with both 200 and 350MB as system partition.
sorry if this is a stupid question, but are you sure you've rooted it correctly?
I remeber having the same bootloop issue, when i went through the steps once again it worked..i think i just had missed something little...
are you using clk or magldr?

I did the following:
Installed HSPL 2.08
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!!

what's the cwm log say? From advanced options you can have it put recovery.log on your sdcard, or you can use adb when in cwm to check it.

this might happen if you try to extract the rom and repackage in windows os...especially the kernel...
by any chance did u do this?

did not repackage the rom.
May be bad blocks in memory....install rom thru cmr....Goto adv select report...mount SD...open the report file in notepad....u shouldn't see more than one bad block...else there is problem

freeze after data recovery using clockworkmode
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?.
I downgraded back to stock ROM but I really want to use Cyanogenmod.

[Q] Problems installing several different Nands - help please

I have successfully installed TyphooN_CM7_v2.9.2-cLK about 8 motnhs ago & been using it but fancied a change.
I am lucky enough to have two HD2's so decide to try installing another nand on the other phone.
I tried TyphooN_CM7_v3.7.0-cLK & DFT_LEO_NAND_Android both using Task 29 & using CWM with CM7 & the USB flasher (as per instructions on the page) for the DFT one. No luck with either they both install but I get an error "Process system is not repsonding" which won't go away with the DFT one & its just keeps booting into Magldr with the CM7. I have installed NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.9_NAND_(Android-2.3.5) which is working & installed fine but just can't get either of the other two to work.
I wanted the CM7 to upgrade the current Typhoon I have a wanted a Desire nand on the other phone as a change.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Help much appreciated
Thanks
Edit:
Following this thread for the CM7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
& this for the Desire nand http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620
Till now you are used nand android ... so you have the important things (HSPL2.08, radio 2.15.50.14, MAGLDR).
And you installed NexusHD2-Gingerbread ... this means that everything is OK.
I think you can try to download the other things for CM 3.7.0 again.
I've had problems with installing when the .zip is corrupted or something ...
With the typhoon version I would check to make sure that you downloaded the magldr version and not the clk version as it is the magldr that you keep booting into. If you try installing clk to a magldr loader it will not load and just go into magldr loader. With dft one it is probably a bad download or perhaps it is that the rom is an older rom.
There is a lot solutions/problems. Which rom u try to install? Magdlr or clk?

Same here
I have exactly the same problem, the only zip NANDs i can install are NexusHD2-Gingerbread. All others install ok but when i reboot it states "Kernal Open Failed" If i install other NANDS via USB flasher they seem to install fine, but then i no longer have AD Recovery Clockworkmod, which is very useful for backups. I appreciate that this is an additional statement but i also have the issue of my phone rebooting 6-10 times a day, hence wanting to change my NAND for testing. I have today however made a complete re-install and using a different SD card, still can't load other ZIP NAND's though.

Every Android ROM stuck in bootscreen

Hi there,
I haven't flashed a new Android ROM in a while on my good old HD2.
Things got changed...
I have magldr installed, and I also just installed CWM and seems to work fine too.
And I partitioned my SD card with a 1GB ext4 partition.
When I flashed a ROM in CWM, and I want to boot it, it keeps being stuck in the bootscreen of the ROM after magldr loaded it.
And yes, I have been waiting like 30 minutes, because I know the first boot takes a while, but not 30 minutes...
I have this issue with every Android ROM, and I am wondering what the problem could be, because I'm already struggling with this for lots of hours, but still haven't find any solution.
Windows Phone 7 via DAF.exe seems to work fine though, so my guess it that there is something wrong in partitions? but I am not sure at all.
I hope anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Well I am not sure about that actually :O
I also tried a magldr partition of 445MB.
And I used the Recovery_400M.
But CWM looks to work fine.
I tried again.
Want to flash this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275119
I made a 1GB ext4 partition before.
With HD2 ToolKit I made a 175MB System partition, and a 8MB cache size.
Guess what?
It seems that it's booting now
Still waiting till it's fully booted, but I'll keep you updated.
Thanks kylew1212, you made me understand the 5/175/8 formats.
By knowing this I actually succeeded now

You can do it yourself,open the recovery folder,right klick on flash.cfg,open with editor.Now you can change the values of "boot yboot", "system ya", "cache ya" how it is on the Discription for the rom you would to flash.Now you must save it.
That´s all !!

But for what is this?
Because I got the ROM fully working now with the way I described before.
I also get stuck on bootscreen with every rom that i flash with CWM.
Until i flashed a new kernel today i didnt have that problem (using ThypooN CM7). When it got stuck i did a task 29 to try and fix it.
Maybe i am missing something, this is what i do using HD2 Toolkit:
task 29
flash 2.15.50.14 radio (at first i didnt do that but i makes no difference)
install MAGLDR
install CWM
flash rom with CWM
I am using a 150/5 patiton for the ROM (recomemded in the OP), i also tried 160/10 but again it doesnt work.
CWM installs the zip normally. When i try to boot the rom it just gets stuck at bootscreen. I tried leaving it for 20 min and it still doesnt work.
I even installed wm6.5 and did the whole process of installing MAGLDR again to see if that helps but the same thing happens.
I also tried using cLK and got stuck again with every rom.
cLK, MAGLDR and CWM all work just fine, that is why i have no idea why the rom gets stuck at bootscreen.
It seems to me that the CWM doesnt install the rom corectly. The only rom that does work is AmeriCan Android becouse i doesnt need CWM.
Is there anything i can do to fix it?
Thanks

I'm not sure what's going on. I've flashed many roms with cwm. Never a problem. However if you think cwm is your problem try another recovery, there are a few more available now. I've started using team win recovery project (twrp)
One other thing. It is not necessary to reflash the radio everytime. Once it is installed it does not uninstall unless you change to a different radio.

I also flashed many roms with CWM and i never had a problem before.
Now i tried twrp with clk (clean install with task 29) and it flashes the rom normally. After i reboot i get the bootscreen, then i should get the boot animation and all i get is a black screen (the backlight is on). Few seconds later the phone vibrates like it booted but the screen is still black. If i restart the phone the same thing happens again.
I guess i'll have to use wp7
Thanks anyway

It was the last thing i tried before flashing wp7. In wp7 OP it says that you have to install wm6.5, let it boot and then install MAGLDR. The important thing here is that you dont use task 29.
I installed wm6.5, let it boot, then install MAGLDR and CWM (without task 29) and now it works perfectly
