Ok I'm having some trouble getting American Android installed. I downloaded the android folder and transferred it to the sd card folder on my phone I then ran the clrcad followed by the haret and it looks like its going well but then it stays stuck in a grey screen that says "Powered by AmeriCan Android". How do I fix this?
On my phone, I just pulled battery and started over. 1st boot is usually longer. My problem is trying to get nand going.
Ok but did you get the grey screen of death like I mentioned above?

It's not SOD, it's just custom replacement of the first boot logo (normally it's green HTC on black background) done by ACA team. dabza is right - pull the battery and start over, if it does not help try again or search the ACA thread for clues.
Also - be aware that depending on your card speed, the first boot can take up to 15 minutes (maybe longer).
Anyway, good choice, it's a great ROM, hope it works for you.

It's not stuck. First boot always takes 15+ minutes while it builds a 1gb data.img file, all subsequent boots are much faster.
Just put the phone down and come back in 20 minutes.
NAND is very simple, easiest approach will be to get all the files u need before doing anything, u need like 6 files
Radio ROM
MAGLADR
Clockwork Rec MOD
some toehr file that manipulated ur ROM size
actually rom.........5 files
its worth it, my HD2 isawesome with the Nexus rom on it

Honestly ACA on SD is better than any nand build I've used. It's really a great ROM

@lalabrowneyes Any more than half an hour means it almost certainly won't boot. Give us some more information. What ROM are you on? Radio version? Do other builds work? Etc.

Sounds like possible data corruption if system did not shutoff gracefully. Not a good idea to let low battery shut off system... you should shut it off manually. I have had this happen on WM where the phone get into a weird state and data get corrupted.
I would backup the data.img file, let Android create a new one to see if it boots properly. Then restore the original data.img file and see if it boots with that one.

Which build are you using?
Same Here!
Battery went flat, tried booting android a few times but didnt succeed. So rebooted the phone to find..
The android boot screen repeats itself. Over and over. Was fine yesterday.
Going to try backing up the data.img and restoring it after it rebuilds as mentioned above.
UPDATE :
After backing up the data.img file, and letting it rebuild, one hour later, still not booted.. So restarted the phone, put the old data.img back, started up haret.exe, and its now stuck on the Green HTC logo.. and isnt moving.. at all.
This isnt my first boot.. usually it boots within a couple of minutes.

Latest Android build. FroyoStone version3.2
Android not rebooting after flat battery
Hi TommyHD2,
I have just had the same problem, actually a couple of times. What I did was to delete all the new entries that had been made on my micro SD card and only leaving the original 8 files that are in the FroyoStone 3.2.7z Android folder and of course I did not delete the media folder that is also included in the build. Well twice now I have done this with a successful reboot of Android whilst not losing any of the settings that I had made ie. Wallpaper, shortcuts etc even apps (unless they are on the card).....Obviously this will now be a case of trial and error to establish which of the deleted files it is that cause a conflict in the reboot. I am also new to this but reading this someone may be able to idntify the problem easily. Other than that it runs superb....EVERYTHING works....well battery drain but I think that is even solved now thanks to XDA.....I will let you know in about four hours
Good luck
HTC HD2
Radio - 2.15.50

Froyostone version confusion
HI Hidnface,
I don't know what sort of smile that is ....sarcastic or friendly but thanks all the same. Bit dumb of me but then I am still learning.
By the way I found that when you boot into Anroid you are left with a folder calle Android_Secure....I dont know what thois does but this is the one I delete to enable successful reboot.
Thanks mate.
have you guys tryed doing a logcat of it booting? whats it erroring at? is it looping?
search adb logcat. android is verry easy to debug since you can watch processes in a comand line...
Right then this is doing my head in.
I have a HTC Hero, so a big fan of Android.
My Wifes HD2 ive installed Android on no problem. All works fine.
Problem is she smashed the mobile up, and has had it replaced.
I did get Android running sucsefully, but on reboot just got a black screen and green HTC logo, and it just sticks. I even left it overnight.
Now evertime i install a diffrent version of Android, or a diffrent radio, and a diffrent version of Windows, its the same every time. It just will not boot.
I have tried diffrent versions of Android
4 diffrent radios
and loads of diffrent Window roms
My current set up is Radio 2.08.50.05
Android FroyoStone Sense V3.4
Widows The latest Elegance rom, sorry forgot full name.
This is the original setup, which i know works fine.
But why not now, any help please

Sorry forgot to say that, i have tried using 3 sd cards.
After some experimenting, it seems it only happens with Sense based roms.
Got a no sense Android running fine now.
Thought I've read somewhere that the Radio must be 2.10 or higher.
I myself use 2.15.50.14
Try replace the radio and se what happens...
I have same problem, tried same solutions but does not work.

Try one of 2 things:
Free up some memory on the SD card.
OR
The new builds come in a double folder. Rename the 1st folder "Android" and delete the second sub-folder so you only have the build's components in ONE folder. Boot it up and wait about 10 minutes. You will still see the Green HTC but it should boot into android. Let me know if this helps!!
nope still doesn't work
u got a replacement phone.. so now thats a bit tricky... did u check if u revert all the settings back to previously before the phone got damaged?
ie HSPL, winmo ROM, Radio, SD card
and formatting of SD card as well..
hope i didnt miss out anything..
same problem-black screen green htc
i did everything you recommended to previous user to no avail. Please help, would really like to have or at least get a chance to see what android is all about.
i have over 13GB of space...
my problem is when i get to the green HTC, my phone boots windows, not Android.
Okay this is my first ever thread so pls dont bash on where its posted. So the problem is, is that my android on hd2 would stop working after I reboot my phone. Idk why but it just hangs at the boot screen, which is white and has HTC on it. This has happened with every android rom I use and I can't even find answers when I google the problem. I'm using the htc energy rom and a 32gb sd card.
Strange i have exaclty the same! i updated to MccM HD 3Beta two days ago. Ill try another now and see what happpen
Questions belong in the Q&A Forum
No bashing just a friendly bit of advise for future reference.
Mark.
I've been going through different android roms and everytime I reboot into the wm energy rom I can't boot back into android. At this point I'm afraid to turn of my hd2, but I need to so I can recalibrate my battery stat.

Android was smoothly worked before the problem.
And I feel it was not stable with the SD card, for example i put some files on it by using the USB and after I check them from the phone not all are there.
And the problem began when the android said "save remove for SD card"
After second it shakes. I remove the battery to reboot it and it is just can't complete booting to android. It is stop at HTC white start screen.
For me the same,
I use a Android rom and when I launch Android, it doesn't leave the HTC screen. I kept it running all night long, but it didn't work. All my contact and text messages are in Android and now I can't reach them anymore, what should I do?

I have problem booting to andriod too, since yesterday morning, i was using android, the screen was freeze, so i restarted the phone and reboot to android. So as usual, i went to the android folder and trying to boot to android, then i got this error message "The file HARET cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannt be found. If the proble persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." I have no idea why this happened all in a sudden. so I've tried many times and restarted my phone to see if it would help, but it didn't. then I thought maybe the android wasn't updated, so I went back to the forum and found the updated version, but mine was discontiuned. I downloaded a new build and I erased everything on my SD card and gave it a try, but the same thing still happen. I still got that error message. would anyone know why? I'm desparated to go back to android.
hi guys,I have a problem with flashing android on my HD2. I followed all the necessary steps apart from reformatting my SD card to get android running on it. however,no matter what build I have chosen to use.it will only boot once which is the initial booting or first time booting of android. and everything ran fine with it during the boot and load up,I could download and run apps too. as soon as I reboot my phone and reload android it will get stuck at the loading screen and nothing will happen at all. I tried just leave it there and wait for it to come around but the longest waiting time I have clocked was half an hour and I got nothing but a loading screen. any ideas? is formatting my SD any help? or is it something I missed?
Had the same issue till I copied all my files to my computer, then formatted my SD Card
After that, it all went perfectly
some builds have this issue you need to delete android.secure from the sd card before booting to android
I've had the same problem, and I've tried everything, including several versions of Android, formating card and waiting over an hour...
Then I find out that android folder must be copied on card with the files in it, like SD/Android/
not only files on SD/, like I was doing it... After that all worked fine
Just a little suggestion if you're doin' the same beginners error like me
You also need your radio to be a .50 version, not .51...
thanks a lot guys I shall try play around with my phone some more and see what happens
You can use ''android windows boot''( Multi boot).
thx aloooooooot it works with me finallyyyyyyyyyy
hi all, just got my hands on a htc hd2 and iv loaded [BUILD][19.12.10]-=MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6=-[FRG83D][kernel:MDJ S8.0] onto it no problem, got it running great, only thing is when i switch the phone off and back on it loads windows mobile again, then i have to run the android files again and let it install itself again, in the mean time losing all my settings, iv read theres a way to autoboot android on startup but cant really find anything about it, is this possible, and if so could someone run me through how to do it, wouldnt mind if it was just to reboot the android firmware, but when im losing all my settings and apps its no good, any help on this much appreciated as im still a newbie really to this phone.
When you boot up android from SD card, the first boot usually takes 10-15 minutes (varies from build to build). During this first startup, a new file in your android folder is created called 'data.img'. This is the file which your android build uses to store all the settings/apps/customisation etc.
When you restart your phone, before you boot into android, look in your android folder for 'data.img'. If it is missing then the android startup will take 10-15 minutes again, but if it is present it should only take 2-3 minutes. If it takes 10-15 minutes every time then you probably want to re-download the build and try again.
Also, dual-booting options are available, but check to see if this works first.

thanks mate, i noticed when i reloaded it again after switching off that my settings and apps were still there, which is good, but now id like to be able to boot straight into android, is that at all possible, im sure i read something earlier about it, but i cant find it again, would be cracking if i could load android on boot up!
