haret boot
shutting down hardware
turning off mmu...

psr=600000df
tags preloaded to 0x11b00100 (size 0x0000f00)

jumping to kernel...
i have repeated this process a dozen times to ensure that i have not missed anything out last nite i made sure that the battery was fully charged and also i updated my rom from the htc website to the latest version as i have read that some people cant get android working at all unless they did this. i did the process until i got the black screen again and left it all night thinking that it may take a long timer as it is the first time i have ever tried loading android but i woke up and the screen was still there i am not sure what i have done wrong i have watched videos on youtube and read forums but no one else seems to have had this problem any help would be greatly appriciated thanks
i have just tried to boot an older version of froyo android the 2.2v i got past the first black screen and it went to the black screen where the white writing starts to scroll down the the writing faded into white lines what am i doing wrong
back up your sdcard contents to your computer.
format it, preferably from a linux box. if your stuck with win-blows, then you can do a full format, not the quick format.
now put JUST THE ANDROID folder on the sdcard.
put sdcard in phone, boot into android. when it boots, dont do ANYTHING for 5 min. reboot.
once it reboots, goahead and log in, synch etc.... then reboot
after that you can coppy the rest of the sdcard contents back over and be good to go.
which winmo rom, radio rom, and android build are u using?
i am using the darkstone froyo 3.7 build i am not sure what radio is or which one i am using i will try what you have suggested and let you know how it goes
right i formated (full) the sd car using windows vista the only way i could do this is plugging my phone into my laptop using the usb and formatting it that way
then i copied just the android folder to my sd card
rebooted the phone and went to file explorer opened the android folder doulbe clicked on clrcad then on haret
i was then stuck on the screen that i was before so i waited 5 mins just like you said to rebooted the phone and it was still on windows.
i repeated the same steps and waited ten minutes still no luck
also just so i understand after i waited five minutes should i be able to reboot the phone i do i have to pull the battery out like i did and where you put (when it reboots login etc)
is there any way you could email me a file to see if it is the files i am using
thanks for all you help so far guys!!!!
i am from th UK i dont know if that makes a difference
i have a 2gb sd card
i have just done some research on the radio versions and round a thread called master radio for the htc hd2 on xda but i am unsure which one to use and could this be the root of my problem thanks again
OS version 8.2.2.1869(21869.5.0.82)
manila version 2.5.20121429.0
ROM version 1.72.206 (8637200) WWE
ROM date 04/15/10
radio version 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol version 15.32.50.07U
i have just done a bit more research and found out that i need to use a .50 for flashing could this be a problem if i dont could this be th root of my problem
very big part I'd say.... It does say on just about EVERY build that you need a .50 radio NOT a .51....

no, depending on the class (speed) of your card it'll take 15-20 min to initalize on the first boot... theres alot going on in the background.
once its booted...ie: once it shows the initial android log in screen. ie: it has actualy booted into android.
if you pull the battery in the middle of the first boot, you just corupted the data it was writing.
format the card again - get rid of the corupted files.
now start over.
and yes, you got to have the corect radio installed etc.
most roms have a requirements list... if not folow the stickies.
as ive stated a ton of times in a ton of thereads, its worth installing ether droid explorer or adb on your pc if for no other reason but to be able to run a logcat so you can watch it run comandline, aswell as post it so others can help you debug/troubleshoot.
I have the same issue with linux showing that message then it boots up a green htc sign and stays there.. i left it there for 40 minutes waiting to see if anything would happen and never did. I had android running before but did a full format on my sd card and then installed another and this happens everytime i try.
I am running Miri_Dinik- V 19.0 WWE
Radio: 2.15.50.14
I also am using the 16g sd card that came with my tmo hd2
i have been searching for days for an answer and decided to finally make a post to see if i can get any answers
thanks
So ive been going through a few different SD builds for my HTC HD2. and all of a sudden the last 3 dont load past the HTC loading screen. right now im trying to get the newest MCCM GB sense build i think its 1.8 going. but they all freeze. some people said it takes about 20 mins to get up and running, but i wait 30-60 mins and it stays there. Maybe i deleted a folder that allows it to boot up properly? help please!
bump for help
Please help!
Did you add the relevant directory and boot type to the "set cmdline=" line of startup.txt?
Considering i have no idea what that is. probably not. but ive never added that before and ive always been able to boot android up on the first try.
Heres a basic play b play
I load up my phone (WM)
i go to my file explorer, sd card, and android. i do my sound (clrclad or w/e) and then run Haret.exe. it starts up, black screen says booting from kernel, and it goes to HTC logo. and stays there.
If you have copied the ROM to SD in a folder called "Android" to boot from SD then you would add "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0" in quotes to the line "set cmd_line=" in startup.txt in the Android directory.
Yeah... its already in there....
Got the same problem today! Tried several different SD builds with no luck. Now on darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 it restarts the phone after the green logo...
It might be a bat sd card format or maybe because i tried to do a task29 several times without success
Got it working
Flash a normal HSPL - 2.08 and unplug from USB while performing first HARET start!
Hi, I installed version 1.4 dexter, now no longer works USB and SD, I could help. I have to install the previous version to solve the problem?. Thanks.
Same here...by the way try to read some of the posts under development tab....

Really...could you do me a favor and let me know what the folders name are that refer to usb and sdcard....mnt/sdcard/sdcard0-disk0 and usb0-disk0 or just sdcard-usb and usb-disk...
Regards

I So want a HTC Flyer, don't think they are bringing them to the US though.
Its called internet purchase
Man that was it...as soon as I removed that "0" from the sdcard folder name it got recognised by the system...did the same thing with usb folder but it did not help there...hope that mod 1.41 will do the job with usb stick
Thanks Dexter for the clue...

That is weird. I had read that the reason for delaying UK release was to work out bugs between Sense and Honeycomb. Doesn't make sense to me to do all the work for Honeycomb just to release it with Froyo in a different market.

Sense 3.0? I thought the new release was going to be Sense 2.0. (Ok, I checked, wow am I behind the times lol )
I hope someone here can tell me what I'm doing wrong, since I have been unsuccessful in downloading Dexter's updates and thus haven't been able to fully utilize my tablet! I've been trying to look through all the pages but haven't seen information to help this situation. Hope I don't end up feeling foolish because I've overlooked one simple thing...
This is what's happening:
(A comment: I had to download file from Dexter's site; for some reason, even when I give permission to download the blocked file from here, I just get an "about.blank" page on two different computers!)
I copy the file to my micro sd card (not an sdhc, since it seems that's not relevant). Each time, there is a folder called "LOST.DIR", along with the folder I saved as "update" (I don't add the .zip since it already recognizes it as a zip file.). The "lost" always has a time several hours later than the “zip” file. (Note: I had no problem updating the firmware with the same SD card.)
Since the first time I tried to apply the 1.3 update, and now with the 1.41, I can't install it as directed on p. 1--I can't get into the recovery area because it powers off. Instead, I follow directions found on YouTube: settings, about device, system updates, update device, do it, ok.
“Detect recovery flag, booting update kernel” flashes quickly
"loading" bar is under box with arrow and android avatar for a couple of minutes (the YouTube said it would take about five minutes), then it stops.
I hit home and in blue it says:
Android system recovery <1e>

Reboot system now

Under the blue line in yellow, it says:

Clearly, I need help!

Info on your PC setup please. Mac? PC? Linux?
Also, I noticed this "along with the folder I saved as "update"" in your post. you are not creating an actual folder on the MicroSD are you?
Assuming your SD card reader is drive F: (assuming also Windows machine) then your ROM's complete path should be F:\Update.zip
Just trying to avoid confusion that maybe you are creating F:\update\ElocityMod141.zip or something similar

I think the trick might just be to let go sooner...
Start from the device being completely powered down (not just in sleep mode)
Hold power button for 2 (or 3) seconds
Let go for just a split second and hold it down again.
The screen will come on and you will see something along the lines of "to boot into kernel recovery continue to hold for 5 seconds"
Keep holding it until you see something like "booting into recovery" (I can't remember the exact wording)
AS SOON AS YOU SEE THAT LET GO.
Bam, recovery mode.
I think when you get the update you just save one over the other replacing the file this gave me errors IE bad update everytime. Download the 1.41 leave the name it has the same. Delete the update off your sd and cop the newly downloaded one to it after. Once its on card rename it.

Thanks for such a quick reply!
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium on a Samsung N150 Plus.
I saved the file as "update" blank SD card. Deleted files each time before attempting a fresh download. Each time have the two files as listed: lost.dir as a file folder and update.zip as a compressed (zipped) file, currently 1,427 kb.
The powered down sequence still does the same, trying it a few times--goes right to device bootup. I remember that from the firmware update (which went without a hitch!) but it's not working now
Aha...progress! May have held down too long but now see in blue

Been trying to load several android roms on my hd2. Everyone has been a SD version, But for some reason the installation stops at the initial black screen with "micro size" text. Am I doing something wrong not getting past that screen?
Please help. Been trying fo 6 hours now, about to give up.
Tx for help guys,
/Wiklander
What do the last few lines of 'micro size text' say? If it's truly failing to boot, there's usually a clue in there as to why.
What build are you currently trying to boot up?
The first boot up can take quite awhile, sometimes 5-10 minutes. Let it go for a good while, and if it still won't boot, report back with what build it is, and the last 5 lines or so of the white micro size text. Good luck

I think the last line in the boot screen was jumping to kernel or something like that. Dont know if that helps..
After it says that, does the screen change to black with a green HTC logo, or stay with the white text? The older initrd.gz's showed all the text, while the newer ones cover it with the HTC screen. Was there like 100 lines of code or just a few?
It sounds like it's failing to load the kernel.

Yeah, I sometime also experienced as you did
You can try to reformated your SD card and dont put any files except the Android rom files. And when your copy the Android files from PC, use Card Reader. Also try to combine with other winmo roms, because sometime it just works when you use other winmo roms. Also try redownload and do MD5 checksum to ensure the downloaded file is correct and not corrupted
If it still fails, you can try use with a brand new sd card.
Good luck
Goodluck
first make sure your SD card is error free, it means you have to check it using any aoftware, windows explorer will do, just right-click the card on My computer, go to properties-tools and check it for errors. I also recommend formatting it, make sure you uncheck quick format, choose FAT32 for file system and 32 for cluster size (not smaller!) and again.
also, read the build's info again, some builds require you creating a config file before you start, like the one in my sig, if so, you have to create that file before you start android.
hope that helps
Hi All, I have searched but not found an explaination thats clear to me.... here goes.
Ideos X5, mine, updated with GB from Huewai site - beta version, works great!!! beter battery, faster wireless etc... update when flawlessly using instructions included in the update file.
Tried to update my friends ideos x5 exactly the same but a white one, and first stage loading the update went fine but then when it restarted it to load 2nd update file, - the 1k one, it just goes to pink screen. Obviously not seeing the sdcard...
Its not bricked because it seems to work fine... just appears to be missing some apps like the wireless/bluettoth/gps switcher that appears on mine when i pul down the notification screen, also maps says it has an error , and he does not have the 'beyond the sky' theme.... and only default keyboard laylout that pretty much sucks.
Now - the question is - can i remove the sd card from my phone, put it in pink screen mode and copy the image folder to my pc then copy it out to his phone? will that work?
I can't seem to flash it agian as it appears to not see the sdcard in flash mode hence why it goes to pink screen mode.
What phone model do you have? Which version of rom (from which thread) did you download?
Probably you need to do a downgrade. You have a thread for that.
It was the update from the manufacturers web site as I stated above - the beta vresion of gingerbread, Ideos X5 U8800 is the model of phone, not the pro version.
As I sid it appears to be running GB and the 'about phone' screen confirms this, just the apps are not all there and the boot up is different, looks like its loading frodo intially with the IDEOS logo then an android title appears, then it loads up to the gb lock screen.
Use the update from this thread (B518): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369296
It has only one step (2 steps are joined into one) and work fine
Edit: You can try using internal SD if it doesnt detect external... btw: Do you have fast bot turned off?
thanks fo ryur reply, but it did not help, this is the same version we used to get where we are at now.... it is two step upgrade, the last update file is 1k and has all the settings and apps config... or so it seems.
We have managed to get the update to complete, but there is one strange side effect, the internal sd only has 6 or 7 folders whereas my phone I upgraded 2 weeks ago has lots... I wonder if its write protected it or something.
to get round the "unable to see external sd" after running first update file - hence unable to load second file - by connecting to computer and replacing the imgage folder on the internal sd card with the ones from my phone. On restarting it imediately found external sd and the dload folder and completed its update.
Can some one explain why this worked? I don't understand why it did, but would like to.
