[Q] Why wont my HD2 Accept ANYTHING?

Hi,
I have been on this forum for the past 2-3 days trying to get android on my gf's HD2 and it just wont have it.
I have tried MCCM's HD v4 Desire one
I have tried Froyo 1.5
I have tried DL Desire Series, both SD and MAGLAR.
The ones where you click CLRCAD.exe then haret.exe either say it doesent have certificates to run or parts are missing. Or it goes to a black scree and gets stuck on "Jumping To Kernel" and it stays like that for ages (tested for 1 hour, never budged)
The DL desire series via MAGLAR wont work either, I need HSPL (sp?) to install MAGLAR but HSPL keeps reporting back that the file Rapi.dll is missing.
My SPL version is 1.42**** so technically thats right ( from what I have read )
I have tried formatting the SD card via PC and device, also tried a factory reset and an additional 2 other SD cards. Still nada.
What else can it be? Someone mentioned the radio but there is so many questions being asked in a specific thread that mine gets lost and since this is more of a global issue I thought a thread of its own is deserved
I really want this and will go to any length to get it ( not keen on ROM flashing thought, would like to avoid turning the handset into a hammer rather than a phone)
Hope I havent busted any rules
Cheers,
Gib

You need radio 2.14 or more for Android.
aka, upgrade your ROM.

You are not alone
You are not alone here.
I have been having this problem too, I get stuck on the HTC white screen. though I haven't tried much ROM but I have tried formating and reflahing of my WM ROM.
I once did a stock ROM official update with: (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2 .15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship)
ever since I have not been able to find how to flash using SPL, I have been flashing using SSPL_RU and my radio is 2.15.50.14.
Could this reason be the problem.
I need help please I want to have a feel of droid.

Know the feeling
I have been trying all the different android magldr sd roms and everytime its the same story. First boot fine. Second boot and on it just hangs at the green htc logo. I have tried so many things i don't know what to do next.

Have you tried one of the Energy ROM's? I found on my unlocked HD2 that these were the only roms (going back a while now) that I could get Android running off an SD card. I've since heard that there is a basically blank rom for people who want to run nothing but android. It's a small rom, only about 30mb.
It's in a few places around the board. I can't remember what the name of that one is off the top of my head, but any of the Energy series, or the Miri ROM's apparently work too.
Good luck!

Solution!
Instructions :
- Download the Android SD version of your choice. Unzip, Extract the 'Android' folder to root of your SD Card. (Make sure to Format the SD card before doing this.)
- After you have done all steps go into Android folder and tap CLRCAD (for working sound), and after that just tap HaRET
-Booting ..
-Enjoy

Ater trying some nand roms i came back to the orignal firmware( the same as you).
And i also have this problem , it just load into a picture with htc on it.

Have you tried using a different SD card? My Sandisk 8gb didn't accept anything. I had an old 512mb laying around that came with my E90, loaded SuperRAM on it (aprox 450mb including data.img) and it booted straight away.

2.15.50.* is the right radio for most SD builds, make sure you have enough free space on SD. most builds have at least 512mb if not 1gb data.img which gets created when first boot. If runs out of space it will get stuck on boot screen. No hspl required with 3.14 HTC winmo rom

I also try to get Android in my HD2 (energy ROM). I am somewhat puzzled however: I want to flick back and forth between WM and Android and many programs I have reside onto my SD card. I have read in an earlier post that before attempting Android I should format my card - does this mean that I cannot have WM data (programs etc) in the same SD card I run android? or that I can transfer them back AFTER I manage (if) to load Android?. Thank you

The SD card has to be formatted in FAT32. Just to make sure the card is clean I copy all my data to my pc, format the card and transfer it all back.

OK thank you - got it!

Unfortunately I cannot get passed the green HTC splash screen - my HD2 stays there for time no end and the only solution is to take battery out. Any suggestions?

Assuming you've got everything set up properly (right radio, hspl, ...) which you can find on the Android forum. I think you'll have to try using a different brand of sd card. Some cards simply don't play nice with Android.

Got uber annoyed with the SD method, just ended up doing a full scale flash to ROM. Was easier lol

I am using Energy ROM (Energy Serie: Energy.Leo.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.12)
My phone just hangs on the white HTC screen when I try to boot into Android from the SD card. I flashed my ROM with SSPL_RU after an update with the Stock ROM (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship)

I would almost agree with that except, i have 2 exactly the same 16 gb cards, each with a 3 gb fat32 primary partition. 1 loads android but wont allow me to do things like take pictures[it says there isn't an sd card.] The second card just hangs at the green htc screen. Even if I copy the working partition to the other card, it still hangs.

Thanks for this Info. I didn't take into consideration that the file will be enlarged during booting. The copied Android folder was 508MB in size but this got enlarged to about 1.3GB during boot up. I thought if I just leave about 1.2GB in all the SD card I have been trying that it should be enough. But I was wrong.
Thanks a lot I have done multiple reboot without any problem.
I am enjoying my first Android feel.
Thanks once again.

Android on HD2 hates most SD Cards
From my own limited experience to also having read many posts I can say that most sd cards prevent Android from running properly on the hd2. Mine works fine with radio 2.14/2.15 and the stock Sandisk 16gb card that came with my tmous hd2, but I recently tried a wintec 16gb card that made Android run like a broke-wheel-cart and other sd cards I have laying around make it fail.
I think everyone needs to add what card they are using to their signature, or else we might all just end up howling in the wind.
Based on some feedback from another post I just ordered this Sandisk 16gb card from Newegg. It is Model # SDSDQ-016G-A11M . It is reported that that model# provides class10 speeds even though it is sold as a class2. It's use with Android is supposed to be good.

[Q] SDcard issues =(

Hi there guys,
I have a T-MOUS LEO 1024 with only the stock 16GB sdcard that came with my phone. I really would like to try those new MUIU builds flying around on the forums, but I get getting sdcard is damaged you might need to reformat.
Here is my problem. i can seem to be only to format sdcard while its in the phone. I have tried reformatting with on android Os and win6.5 os...i still get same issue with those MUIU builds. my pc does not have a built in card read so I cannot you the Panasonic sd reformater g parted.
Is my only option is to have a sdcard reader for my pc?
any ideas would help.
thanks guys
Lawrance the Noobie =)

I was able to fix a similar issue by running the format sd card option in the android os, then booting to recovery and using the partition tool in cwm to delete the partitions and start fresh. I don't know that this method is failsafe, but it certainly saved my class 6 card from the trash.
Oh, and I am sure you know, but the increase in performance you get from using a higher class card makes it a good investment when you are able.

Help, Android Freezes, WP7 is fine :S

Ok so the problem im having is when i install an android rom (tried 5 different ones) the phone (EU LEO) suffers from random freezes which then either needs a manual reboot (battery out and in again) or reboots itself! :S The wierd thing is that if i flash WP7 to the phone it works like a charm! Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks, Ben
Edit: Tried a task 29, no luck, could it be an sd card issue after WP7 formats it?

You could try another sd card.
If wiping data/cache/dalvik cache (task29) doesn't work.. There is not that much to say..
Our hd2's are getting older :/

Definitely need to format sd card. Wp7 completely changed partition layout and types. Since you are running a eu hd2 many roms also require a 1gb ext3 or 4 partition for the system to write properly or for a2sd support. One other thing is to check your radio, I know there is a wp7 radio for running windows 7 on hd2 and that is incompatible with android. If you have this radio, flash the latest stock radio and reinstall android

Thanks for the replys guys, tried the sd card didn't work now to try the new radio! Wish me luck!

Which radio do you guys suggest? I'm not sure which one to use!
Cheers

Did you try formatting and repartitioning your SD Card again?. A glitch in the partition will cause random reboots. Have you tried just running Android on SD on its own as normal?(no WP,no partition)...if the same builds you are trying now works fine without any partitions, then its definitely not your phone nor could it be your SD Card...still you might want to try a class 6 SD cars and see if that solves it

I unlocked the SD card after wp7 using the storage unlock tool, then I repartitioned it using CWM recovery. Would you recommended another method of doing this?

[Q] NexusHD2 SD Card Problem

Hello! I recently went the route of installing tytung's NexusHD2 Gingerbread ROM and have run into a sort of bothersome issue. Basically everything works fine (Flashed HSPL, new Radio, MAGLDR 1.13, Clockwork, NAND NexusHD2 ROM), but my 16GB microSD card is not recognized by Gingerbread. I got this microSD card with the device and am currently using a 1GB card instead due to the fact that I get no response from Android upon insertion. I formatted the card to FAT on multiple computers and multiple OS's, all of which seem to have no problem viewing content from the card. To be more specific it is a Sandisk MicroSDHC, and I'm 100% sure it came with my T-Mobile HD2. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I have a similar problem. I flashed my HD2 to the Nexus Rom as well, but when i received the phone it only came with a 4gb memory card. I recently bought a 16 gb to fit more apps and music but since ur having a problem with it i am hesitant to insert it. What are your thoughts?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

There shouldn't be a problem inserting it, I've tried many times and it hasn't effected the card at all. Give it a go and maybe you will have better luck than me. Could be my card I suppose.

Hey guys heres an easy solution.
Put ur phone into clockworkmod, and go to advanced, and parition sd card.
Fixed

what kind of size did you use on the partition ?

I believe I selected 128? What does that effect anyway? I have seen that some ROMs require specific partition layouts correct?

Ok i have clockworkmod but i forgot how to use it or how to get to it. Lol but what does the partition do to the sd card anyways?

[Q] HD2 Android Problems

Hello folks, having issues with android on my hd2..
currently running
NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10_V1.2 (nativesd) flashed with recovery 4ext
2.15.50.40 radio (always used this radio)
16gb class 10 samsung microsd
at present getting this error constantly when trying do anything
android.process.acore has stopped
...and being very laggy
i was getting similar problems with a the NexusHD2 ICS rom i was using which was a NAND rom flashed with ad recovery
I always task29 etc after every new rom install.
can anyone help with this as it has been driving me crazy!
Regards
Anthony

there's no need to "always task29" when you install a new rom either in nand or nativesd, you could already have bad blocks or a failing HW.
re-do it again & try changing your sd, also try a more stable ROM first like GB, if the problem persist then it might be HW problem

when you say bad blocks... do you mean on the NAND? and if so..wouldnt a task 29 fix this?
also... if I were to use a NAND rom..is changing my sd likely to help? as i thought everything was installed on the phone memory itself when using NAND rom...??
Also forgot to mention im using a HTC extended battery...but never had a problem previously
Thanks for your quick reply

ah! AFAIK there are kernels that are not compatible with some extended batteries, as for task29 the more you read-write to nand the more likely you will have bad blocks. I have flashed maybe more than a hundred times but i task29 only twice or trice since i got the phone.
even if you flashed to nand some files are placed in sd, anyways you could try NATIVESD, see the links below & give it a try

i know about the issues with the extended batterys.. i used to have a problem when i first got the battery where the phone would not boot up and just go in a loop but this was years ago... and since then roms have been sorted... and never had an issue since so i dont think its the battery
already tried NATIVESD as mentioned in my first post
this phone has only been task29 a few times... is there anyway to check for bad blocks
sd card is pretty new too so id be surprised if its the sd card...but I will get another and try flashing again

Okay so i went out and got a verbatim class 4 4gb microsd before...
obviously being class 4 its not fast enough for nativesd...
i created ext4 partition 2GB
and what space was left was allocated to fat32 partition
so i flashed NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.3a-(Android-2.3.7).zip to NAND as per instructions here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
using cLK_1.4.0.1_bootloader_for_NexusHD2_135M.zip also mentioned in the thread
Rom seems to be okay...no errors and no lag... but it says i have 0.00b of internal memory
why is this happening?
Regards
Anthony
