[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.

Download that and and flash this Clockworkmod file.

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] RafDroid HD 4.0.2: Cyclic rebooting after splashscreen

Hi. I've been using Rafdroid HD 4.0.2 for the past week. And today I've decided to update kernel to Rafpigna 1.9 OC.
So, I went in the MAGDLR menu, selected AD Recovery, then I chose kernel_rafpigna_1r9_OC.zip from SD Card and install it. And get cyclic rebooting after splashcreen "Rafdroid HD" as a result. Tried to downgrade to rafpigna 1.8 OC - rebooting too.
What should I do? Help please.

Do you have the right clockwork partition size flashed to your HD2? What about your SD card? Is it partitioned with an ext3/4 partition? If you do make sure you have the?, clear cache and wipe dalvik cache and then reflash the rom and it should work. Also make sure you give the Rafdroid Rom time to boot. With my experiences they've always taken way longer than any other roms I've tried.

so it was workiung until you upgraded the kernel?
did you make sure you got the right kernel as there are 2 available, one for froyo, android 2.2 which is what that uses and the GB version for gingerbread

Can't get ROMS to boot flashed in CWM. Help!

OK, I've been reading guides for the past two days and I'm stuck. I have a US T-Mobile HD2 that I installed HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR 1.13, and CWM recovery 250mb partition. So far I have only gotten one ROM to flash and run. UrDroid Runnymede w/Sense 3.5. But it's laggy and it only has 100Meg of space available for more programs.
So I tried to flash some miui and CM7 ROMS and I can't get them to boot. Then I tried a Froyo based ROM and it went into a boot loop. I've tried 6 ROMS so far and I can't get the other 5 to boot. I clear the cashe and dalvic before every install. I also reformatted my SD card (FAT32) and still same result. It's a class 10 8Gig card.
What am I doing wrong, what do I need to change? Where should I be reading? And if possible, how can I get more space and speed on the UrDroid ROM? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

put an EXT partition on your sd card. It wont show up as extra space, but it will be there.

Did u task 29 your nand?
Maybe, you have bad blocks.

Are you shure that all 6 ROMs need 250 mb partition? Try to use predefined recovery for each ROM.

Yea, I got a couple of ROMS to finally boot when I changed the partition size to the recommended size. But I couldn't get any MIUI ROM to boot. I was trying to verify if Task29 would clear out my Clockwork Mod or not. Wasn't sure. But I have the HD2 Tool kit. I just didn't know what partition size to use for the MIUI ROMs because they're not listed. I tried 150, 170, 180, nothing. I'm currently running a Vision Froyo ROM. Odd, Sense ROMs run but the much smaller MIUI ROMs won't.

I did put an EXT partition on the SD card. Thanx.

Task 29 clear everything but is recommended.
Try this MIUI:

[Q] Problem installing ICS roms

Hello XDA.
I have this problem when i try to install ICS roms on my HD2.
The one i've been trying most is NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.0.
I tried some other ICS roms as well though, just to see if they'd share the same issue (which they do).
Up untill now i've always been able to install non-ICS roms without any problems, but when i install one of these, i get stuck on a black screen with green "HTC HD2" text in the middle.
Since i've tried several android roms, i'm not a total newb at this, but I can't seem to be able to fix this.
Some specs:
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Using CWR 5.0.2.6 (tried older versions too, updated this one yesterday)
magldr 1.13
HSPL 2.08
If i can supply you with any more info, please ask ahead =)
And thanks in advance for the help!

Do you have a 200/220 mb system partition?

i was not able to boot ics roms with my 150 mb partition. i used nand toolkit to wipe everything and rebuilded it from scratch with a new partition layout then it worked for me

In the Internal storage tab my of storage settings, my total space is 255MB.

Like everyone said, you need to partition the space as Tytung suggests for his ROM at least 200MB. If you are using the 150 MB partition from Tytung's Gingerbread ROM, then this explains why you are stuck on the boot logo. I went back to Tytung's Gingerbread ROM since I need to have a working camera/video and for some reason his ICS ROM gave me problems with access to the Gallery to see pictures that I have or took.

if i recall what i did correctly, i made my boot partition about 900MB, since i have a 32GB SD card

Dude.. the ext partition is one thing. The cwm recovery layout the other.
Ext partition in your case 900mb is for storing apps on a partition in ext3 or 4 format of your sd using an app2sd or datawsd script.
The cwm recovery layout is for taking some space from your nand(for ics im using 220mb, tytung says at least 200) to be able to flash the rom into your nand and start it without bootloops.
Try it. Install cwm and change the cfg file to 220mb system and 5mb cache.

alright alright i'm making progress here.
I did as you said and increased the space. I got slightly further now. instead of the green HTC HD2 screen, i get some colourful block animation; which i assume is the boot screen of the rom. It keeps looping tho so i'm not quite there yet..
I tried 400MB system tho, lets see if it works with 220

oh dear...
your hd2 has 512 MB NAND, then you HAVE to use something like:
system ya 200M
in your flash.cfg for CWM.
This is NOT the space of your SD-card!
Greetings.

I realise that now xD Thanks a lot for the help, to all of you!
I just booted ICS, looks great =D time to have some fun!

You should check your recovery partition.

[Q] Where am i going wrong

I did everything needed. When i use de DFT flasher i finally got a working image file (The DFT desire rom). But i have no CWM available anymore.. When i converted the IMG files from the DFT install to upgrade.zip and installed it. It worked, well the install did. But as soon as i run the phone i get errors. The same kind i got when i started useing the eclipse mod (3.52). Which is weird. Since i cannot locate the problem. why do all these errors keep comming up.
Other then that i was kinda happy with the stock desire rom which runs completely from the HD2 internal memory, but the i tried makeing changes in the system folder and it seems i have no superuser abilities. So why is this? Or do i need to root this standard desire rom and if so. How does that work cause i imagine its different from the way you would root a untouched phone. Weird enough it does show a superuser icons in my list of programs.
Im almost there i need to figure out these minor tweaks to fully enjoy all those nice roms out there.
Hope anyone is out there to get a light shining on it

That's a really old rom and flash method,,thereare no other roms that work that way.it was the original proof of concept .
Find any other rom,findout what popartition size it requires, use the nand toolkit to set that size, which will apply cwm too, thenflash the rom from within cwm.

Here is the problem every flash I do with a rom. I end up getting errors after the boot. I have a 8gb sd card. Formatted to 2048 ext 4 and 128 swap (useing cwm).
For now I'm running the DFT Rom. I edited the install and added the cwm img aswell. So now o can boot CWM to even though useing the DFT Rom. I used CWM to root the DFT Rom. To be honest for now it will do. But I'd love to have some more eye candy. But I can get the toms installed. After installing CWM 3 TIMES with different sizes and useing the CWM to install 3 different roms I get the same error on every install. I assume something goes wrong accessing the ext4 partition on the sd card. But I have no idea.
I suppose there is no 400mb Rom with sense 3 or 3.5 that runs without sd ?

You say that you get the same error each time, but you haven't actually mentioned the error message (as far as I can see). What is the error that you get?

Its the same kind of errors I get from installing the eclipse Rom.
Com.xxxxxxx.xxxxx
Errors. That they stopped for some reason. Xxxxx is Google and phone and all kinds of programs. I just don't understand why flashing with CWM keeps going wrong. But I updated a couple of things and installed su.2.xxxxx.signed.zip and a couple of changes o wrote. With CWM and that all works fine.
I just think that for some reason when booting the first time all those Roma that need ext4 on sd. For some reason can't find them.
