i think i screwed up - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

after installing everything my HTC HD2 is stuck at
123456
go go go
I feel so helpless now. .
also what are the ROMs that can be installed to Nand without SDcard like via Mag
how do I know which partition size (like 150 or 200 or 250, or is it any size bigger than the installed andriod rom will do?) is required by the various Roms?
Thanks

Android load at 11800000
from NAND
yaffs2 part is /system
Load zImage
Load initrd.gz
[K]11808000:224ac0 12200000:281E6C
Load done!
123456
Go Go Go!
another thing to mention
tried to install WP7 using the same way
loaded successfully to the welcome screen
then when i touch screen to go on
it doesn't recognize that i did touched the screen
when i press the hard keys like volume or power
it's working
so what is wrong ?

presuming you have flashed magldr correctly and have your radio and hspl up to date, i think it has to be the partition isze. it differs with various roms. the developer would have definitely stated the minimum or recommended size for your partition. you can change it by editing the values in the flash.cfg file in the recovery zip file. what rom are you using.maybe i can point out the size to you...

it happened to me when I was first flashing a rom. As kawshigan said it must be the partition size. Use this for flashing Recovery
Code:
misc ya 1M
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 135M
cache ya 44M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
it boots up almost all the ROMS without a change. Good luck

i am too confused over what rom
can u point to one that uses DAF to install as Clockworkmod option dun appear
any thing that is v2.3 and above is fine, can u recommend me one?
btw is having an sdcard on the phone a MUST? Thanks

this one uses daf method.

[Q] How can I verify the CWM partition size?

Hi,
First of all I am sorry for the noob question, but how can I verify what is the partition size of Clockworkmod Recovery is creating in my cell phone?
I have a T-Mobile HD2 with MAGL 1.3, Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.1 and Hyperdroid CM7 installed. Under Settings/About Phone/ Mem Info I see 134MB/411MB. Is the CWM partition related with this?
In the past I used the HD Core Droid version 1.5 witch was a very big Android ROM (270Mbytes), now a installed the Hyperdroid witch is very light (67Mbytes). But I just installed the ROM without changes in the CWM layout. Any suggestions about?
Thanks

looks like your partition is set for around 400mb
you can modify the flash.cfg file in cwm by opening it with notepad.
and change the numbers to those recomended by the Rom dev
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize MAGLDR_recovery_3.0.2.4-seadersn.img
boot yboot|ro 8M
system ya 400M
cache ya 8M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
Thanks for your help. Just a few question.
Where is located the flash.cfg file? So, just changing the parameter system ya from 400M to 150M is enought to release space to install more apllications?
Thanks

u will need to instal everything again and use the toolkit to install the 150 mb partition ... witch will leave about 200mb free ...if u install 120 mb that will leace about 300 mb free ... if u go lower mayve the rom wont boot.
for hyperdroid i used ti flash 100 mb but with 90mb the rom dont boot ...it's advisable to flash the partition set by the dev of any rom...

no, it isnt related at all, thats the memory, the RAM, not the partition size.
there is nowhere as standard that shows you teh size of the system partition (which is what you mean by CWM partition).
You can see the size of the data partition by going setings - storage - internal storage.
to see teh others, get 'super manager' from teh market, open it, and choose file explorer.
now, at teh top of the foldes list, in small writing under where it says 'back up level folder' it gives you details of teh folder you are currently in, ,
so use it to browse into your system folder, and look at the info.
EG mine says 'total 150M used 137.4M, bla blah' because I have a 150Meg system partition, and teh typhoon rom comes to about 137 meg when unzipped.
If i now browse into the cache folder, that info shows 'tot 40M, used 1.1M.....' because i chose a 40meg cache partition.
you can do the same with the sd-ext folder to see how big and how full your EXT partition on the sd card is.
Thanks a lot for all the answers. Now the this thing is getting clear for me.
Thanks guys.

More Explanation on how to install from one android rom to another android rom!

i just started converting my HD2 to android
It now is NAND and has magldr
question now is do i install clockwork mod so to get from DFT Stock Desire to say like RUNNYMEDE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268580
Yes, install CWM, with the appropriate size system partition for the ROM you want, then download the rom.zip, put it on the root of your SD card, then in CWM, choose to flash .zip from sd card, then choose .zip, then flash it.
Reboot system, and enjoy your new ROM
ignore, my mistake.

since the version of runnymede require CWR 5/445/5
and im trying to use this CWR http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
do i download the 400mb version?
Just get the HD2 NAND Toolkit from the HD2 NAND Android forum and you can flash CWM with the correct partition sizes. Or you can download the CWM of whatever size you want, open up the flash.config file in any text editor, and change the patition sizes that way.
Either way you go, it's important to use the correct partition sizes.

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen new nand rom

Today I was updating my android rom (one of the first nands) and I've updated magldr and installed CWM.
Then I installed a new rom with CWM and after reboot he keeps showing the bootscreen of the rom, I've tried another rom and it's the same...
Can anybody help me?
The most common reason for being stuck at bootscreen is improper partition size. You sure you got that right?
I've taken the largest partition size (400mb)...
you don't take the largest, but rather the most suitable. (or the one stated in the rom's thread) you should also take into consideration whether the rom NEEDS sd-ext or not.
What rom do you want to use/upgrade?
Have you met the requirements? (sd-ext/system partition/cache/radio)
I've a EU 512mb HTC HD2. I don't know my rom anymore that I used but I think its a darkforce froyo rom...
I've parted my sd with cwm: 1024ext, 64mb swap and used the 400mb CWM
Now I want to install the Runnymede 3.5 or the Desire HD 3.06.405.1 - Sense 3.0 - Android 2.3.5 [v1.4][RAFPIGNA 1.9GB], i don't know which one is better...
link to those roms please?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264828
okay for the first one (runnymede) you need 6/200/8. that means 200mb system partition, 6 boot partition and 8 cache partition. AND A 1GB SD-EXT
And for the second one you need 5/155/5. which means 155mb system partition and 5 megs for both cache and boot. AND YOU NEED 1GB SD-EXT.
Neither of these ROMs will run under a 400mb system partition ~!
And remember, always wash your hands and wipe your phone/sd before attempting another rom

If you're using the old method, then look for a file called config.cfg, edit that using any file editor.
But if you're using the NAND Toolkit, you can edit them by selecting the desired partition from the panels on the left or the right, depending on your bootloader, and the cache is just right below those panels.

how to partition 5/155/5 internal ?

I want to try a ROM which says:
Partition Layout (5/155/5) use hd2 toolkit
SDext: min. 500mb
I am not 100% sure what does it mean SDext is probably 500 ext patition bigger than 500
5/155/5 is
5 cashe
155 data and
5 WHAT????
Cant figure this out.
Thank you
Do you have any android rom installed? If yes, then you should (I had on every rom) have an option on reboot menu: reboot, recovery and BOOTLOADER - choose this one. And there you have SETTINGS->REPARTITION NAND and there set these ones your roms prefers. If you have not, then try to install this rom choosen by you, and maybe there will be option BOOTLOADER on menu. These are partitions, for example 155data(system) is space for system (I think). But standard settings are good for me and works with every rom.
[EDIT]
Try to boot phone by holding [back] nad [Power]. This opens bootloader and there you can set all.
Partition your nand using HD2 Nand Tookit.
First 5 is boot partition set to 5 by default
155 is system partition,
next 5 is cache size.
sdext partition can be set up from recovery (in cwm recovery go to advanced menu and select partition sd card), follow instructions for your rom. This can be used as if it was internal memory by your rom..
ALSO you might want to take a look HERE..
Edit: best to post any questions about any specific ROM in the ROM thread
This question was not "how-to", but more "what does 5/155/5 mean" type of question. Last time I played with internal memory of the device all I had to do was select the appropriate CWM version. This is why I asked here, I think it belongs, cos is general knowledge kind of thing.
I kind of dont see how to fiddle the size of /boot, no problems with /data and /cashe, but since you say this is default I wont have to, I suppose.
A few days ago I was pissed of by CyanogenMod (and stock Andriod in general), cos the only option to deal with Vcards is Handsend sms, but Handsend will not search for contacts correctly in Bulgarian (CYR) when installed on vanilla Android - small letters will not match capital and vice versa in contact names. This is why I decided to go for Sense - the message app is simply better...
Rather than using toolkit, download the CWM package and inside is a file called flash.cfg. Open this file and you should get this (maybe a different system or cache size)
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 150M

5/155/5 is basically the middle three lines, i.e. 5Mb boot partition, 150Mb system partition and 5Mb cache partition. I don't know why chefs post it like this as I'm reasonably sure the boot is always 5Mb (I've never seen differently) so they could just post the system partition size (as quite a lot do). Hope this helps

You can use CWM Recovery it's very easy to use for repartition your nand, but you must install MAGLDR or CLK first if you want go to recovery..

Hm, this is something I missed!
1. I use mainly Ubuntu, hence I have have to rely on Wine or a pc I almost dont use for windows
2. I have CWM and MAGLDR installed
How to re-partition based on config file only? Can I do it?
Put the config where? (sdcard, ROM.zip)
Run what in CWM.
You would make my day, since I am away form how, with my laptop only, the ROM I run has a bug with wifi tether and I have to change it, but options are quite limited, since I dont know how to re-part, I have to choose ROMs that rely on system less or equal to 155 at teh moment. And I need a Sense, since others cant receive 100% vcards in Bulgarian (CYR)

I saw HTC logo, but after 35 minutes in stuck htc logo, I powered off and find help. can you help me, where I failed? THX and sorry for my bad english
Follow the guide in my signature, either you followed a very bad guide or (more likely) you misunderstood a lot of it because of the language barrier. This is an outline of the steps you should be taking:
1. Install HSPL
2. Install a compatible radio
3. Install MAGLDR
4. Install CWM with the correct system partition size for your chosen ROM
5. Partition your SD card for A2SD (optional)
6. Install the ROM
7. Install any extra features you want.
Good luck

That is correct, yes, however you must also partition your SD card if you have an EU HD2 as some apps will be installed to the EXT partition of the SD. You can either do this on a PC or in CWM (see the guide in my signature for this).

How can I check if I have EU or TMOUS (this is not my phone, so I dont know it)? I am installing TMOUS, because EU install get error. and must I EXT partition creat in SD with TMOUSE? big thanks
A TMOUS HD2 will have the T-Mobile logo on the top of the phone, a red end call button and a green call button. I think that you may still need to create an EXT partition for the TMOUS one as well, now that I've had a look at the ROM.
I changed touch screen, so mabye only check button ok I think I have EU version, so I need EXT part? can you any PC tools recommend me? I think by CWM not work :/ or its possible it take format 8gb card 1 hour? I see only partitioning SD card... please wait... but really I see it 1 hour :/

Yeah, it shouldn't take an hour so it's clearly not working properly in CWM. I'd recommend using EaseUS Partition Manager, it's fairly user friendly. I don't know about the language settings though, hopefully it'll work for you.
I must be idiot :/ still nothing I formated SD card with primary partition FAT32 capacity 6,5 GB and 1 logical partition EXT (I tried EXT2 and EXT3), but If I try install EU version, by step "mount sd-ext" get error E:error name_rom.zip (status 0) isntall aborted. Any ideas? THX
OK, I choosed another ROM and it work BIG THANK TO Nigeldg
