[Q] Flaky Booting (as in, almost never :P)

okai, so, heres the long and short of it. WP7 on NAND, Hspl3'd, 2.15 radio and a range of SD Cards, the one I'm using currently is a 16gb Kingston Class 4 but the problem also appears on the standard HTC card that came with the phone and a 4gb Sandisk Class 4 (This leading me to believe it isn't and SD problem).
The phone flashes all correctly and boots back into MAGLDR, i then reset MAGLDR (just in case, ya know) and go to boot WP7.
Heres where my confusion kicks in. Sometimes, it boots first time, it goes through booting fine. other times, i get 5 seconds into the DFT logo bootscreen and it crashes, re-booting the phone. And most of all, i get 1 2 3 4 5 6 GO GO GO! and it crashes and re-boots the phone *sigh*
this persists over multiple OS and MAGLDR 1.12 flashes and seems to all be dependent on time. If the phone crashes once (fails to boot) it wont boot again at all for the next 10-30 minutes, then, if sufficient time is passed, it will boot without issue. And yeah, i don't think its heat related, the phone stays fairly cool throughout the process (I've had my phone get hotter on an underclocked android build )
Any ideas? i apologise if this has been addressed elsewhere, but ive kept my ear to the ground in this forum for a few days and have done a few searches, as far as i know, this is a new and confusing issue :L thanks in advance.

Hey mate... Weird case... Did you tried to Wipe the phone to Factory settings? (I mean uninstall hspl,android magdlr e.tc???) Try it and post here with your results... Just make an installation of the Winmo 6.5 only!

Give it a shot now, just to be sure, flashing a standard Winmo rom wipes my HSPL don't it?

have you tried formatting the sd card with panasonic sd formatter...if not i think its worth a shot...make sure to set in options to full (erase on)...hope that helps

No.. you can still have the HSPL and stuff! Somewhere here i saw a topic about Uninstalling all these together!
In addition try the comment above mine and post your results!
If it's not the problem then try Mgdlr 1.11 with Android build... Most probably something went wrong with the installation!

I use the sd formatter from SDcard.org, but yeah, full erase has been a button ive pushed somewhere along the line, alas to no avail

The problem is WP7 specific, I've never really had much trouble with Android builds on Nand

Wp7 boot problems are related to your SD card then! Wp7 is known to have these problems on several SD cards... I use Chinese cards (not branded) and are working just fine... i have 8gb class 4 and 16gb class 6.. LOL!

Its what i thought at first, but seriously, 3 different brands of card all crapping out? Kingston and sandisk cards work for others on top of that, but i think now you guys have given me enough to get on with, i edit OP if i ever get it working :L thanks a bunch for the advice

[Q] quite agrivated

broke my old hd2. insurance sent me a refurbished model. flashed hspl, then nrg sencity nov 24 to get back to my previous setup. running core_droid_evo_0.8. was impressed droid brought evrything back to the way i left it. but.... since then the phone constantly freezes. tried hard reset. 1 out of 10 times it will actually finish booting after pulling battery, then to just freez again. I didnt flash radio 2.12.50. it came with 2.15.50.14, and that sounded newer. didnt think that would make this happen tho. any clue?

i appreciate all the views this thread got but. Ive tried the famous search bar and it never works! always says try back in 30 minutes. I cant sit here staring and digging thru pages of threads to find answers. at least shoot me a link to an appropriate thread please

If its a refurb then I'd return it to stock and tell them they've sent you a faulty handset.
Are you talking about freezing in WM or when your using android??
You could try reflashing after doing a task 29. Might be worth trying a different energy rom just to see if the freezing issues are still there........
If its android freezing, did you restore old backups? try running it without any backups and see if it still freezes.

ya freezes everywhere between splash screen and droid. I cant tell what if anything is causing it to crash. Ive had new phone for 12 hours and have pulled battery at least 100 times.

Personally I'd try and get another replacement.
If you dont wanna go down that route then you should start over from scratch (task 29, stock WM), leaving some time between the different stages of setting up your device to try and see when the freezing starts to happen.

are you running android off the sdcard?

See here for returning to stock (Section 8)
Task 29 is here..
You can get the stock roms from the 6.5 ROM development section.
If you have a Tmous model then be sure to grab the right one.
Android SD card builds are sometimes a real pain in the ass for no obvious reason.
Just because one worked on your previous setup doesnt mean its guaranteed to run smoothly this time round. If you restored a backup with titanium or something similar then try running the build again from scratch without restoring and she how she handles...

i renamed and copied LEOIMG.nbh to sd card. powered on to bootloader and nothing... no instructions just color bands

if you're using a 16gb sd card this won't work, I'd flash thru RUU or use a smaller SD card.
Also on your Android ROM make sure you're not copying it via MAGLDR because it corrupts data transfer

booting energy21916sencity nov 24. then core_droid_evo_v0.8_desire.
I dont think it has anything to do with the droid version. It mostly freezes on energy splash screen.

yes 16gb card is that problem. so do I flash stock rom , radio, spl all separate?

If you flash a stock ROM from the sd card then it wil overwrite SPL/Radio/ROM all in one go.
Try using a 2gb card.
If you dont have one you can always flash via USB.

flash task29 via RUU, then flash custom ROM via RUU, then radio 2.15.50 via RUU, then load the Android ROM via USB mode in WinMo or card reader, then try things out.
edit: flashing task29 takes away the need to flash stock, flashing stock then custom is pointless and actually worse than going task29 to custom, HSPL3 is probably not the problem here.

this is so frustrating!!! I've done everything to a T to get this phone back to stock and still wont boot. now stuck on "stick together" splash

lol,
make sure it's the right stock, don't brick your **** flashing the wrong stock.
put it in bootloader manually by turning off the phone, then hold vol-down when you turn it on, while in bootloader hook it up to USB to PC, then run the RUU and reflash.
Personally I strongly suggest going task29 then custom, unless you want to return it to the store, just go stock.

i did the task 29 then flashed stock tmo 3.14.531 and spl and the radio 2.15.50.14 that was on it yesterday when i got it. it loaded once to stock initial setup and homescreen then froze again. this has to be a hardware issue. fuk a refurb

at least on boot screen it appears stock. requesting new phone

[Q] HD2 Nand ROM issue - freeze's on first reboot

Hi there
i've had a search through the forums and google, but havent come up with anything...
the isue is, after flashing a new CWM NAND ROM on my HD2, the rom will load perfectly the first time. however the issue is when i try to reboot the phone... it loads through cwm, but hangs on loading the rom...
this has happened on several different rom's, and after several task29/mgldr/cwm re-flashes...
Any ideas?
Cheers
Gav

Have you tried doing absolutely nothing after first boot, other than skipping through the setup wizard? What I'm wondering is what you may be installing / doing that could be causing this.
One thing that could help is to run logcat with the phone connected during bootup and you could see what is causing it.

Yeah, looking at your log, you are definitely in a boot loop. Android keeps restarting after what looks like initializing the audio... looks like some files are missing.
What ROM are you using? Have you applied anything (updates) else at all through CWM other than the ROM? Does the ROM you are using require an SD-EXT partition? Is your SD card in the phone?

Which version of CWM are you using? Is it 1.13? Whatever it is, what size did you flash (the partition layout) for your system partition?

I'm using the latest versions of Magldr and CWM. I flashed a 250Mb system partition.

Are you sure that is a large enough partition? Is that what the ROM developer recommends?

just use the "daf" folder that comes with the build once you unzip it.
it has the CWR setting configuration all done ready for the build
just flash it.

My issue is: When phone loads android from NAND (sometimes it freezes in GO GO GO) I can use it some unpredictable time. FE. When I switching Mobile Network on it(after 1-2 it freezes). I even upgraded radio to 2.15. No changes still freezes. Second point is, when I turn off radio module and starting using dev. (FE while playing Angry Birds) it freezes again, with the noise on spekers. In my case I detaching battery and waiting for a while (because if you put battery again after a second) it freezes on GOGOGO again. WTF with device. Maybe it is a physical problem?
Dev is TMOUS HD2 16gb.
ps. When I used Android via SD same freeze always happened only with Angry Birds. In WinMo I didnt recognize such issues. Oooh. One more thing. When I tried to go back to WM 6.5 off.ROM. nothing happened after upgrade. I think my device will always live with Android till the end of the days. Thank you in advance!

rebooting

I have installed android rom on my sd card and it worked fine, I switched the phone off and then on again and it just keeps booting in a loop is there anyway to break in to this.
any help is needed.
regards

Have a good look at you battery oins that make contact with the battery and see if they are all aligned properly if not very carefully adjust the one that is not in line with the others. I really think your issue has nothing to do eith the SD Android you used as SD Android is very safe as far as not effecting the regular Windows Mobile OS cause it is on SD and does not touch the NAND memory wich is where the Win MO OS or what every primary OS resides.

thats exactly what happened to me whenever i tried to run android off an sd card.(which is why i didn't get a working android rom for months until nand came along)
On the few occasions I managed to get one to boot, i ended up having to hard reset winmo to escape from boot loop, which is probably what you will end up doing.

I have checked that and it appears ok but it still reboots if there is a problem would it help if I installed an official rom update from htc.
It wont even boot with the sd card out and soft reset doesnt help
thanks for the help

Yes install the updat as Android builds really have to have a 3.14 Windows Mobile ROM to work well. It will also improve your expeince with Win Mo as the 3.14 ROMs run considerably smoother.

do you have it done through clockwork? I had the same issue and I had to wipe data and cache, then it worked fine. You lose all your apps and have to reinstall them but it works. this worked for me if someone has a better method feel free to chime in.

I think the OP is using a SD card Android build and not a NAND Android ROM.

[Q] Problem with installing WP7

Ok guys this is really frustrating. I have Android ROM and I want to try WP7 ROM. But every-time I install any ROM I am either stuck on GO GO GO or afterwards I am stuck on white screen with green HTC logo in the middle. I performed task29 before installing anything. I suspect on my SD-Card( I have Kingston 4 GB Class 2), so I borrow another one-Transcend 8 GB Class 6. And again the same problem, WP7 is is stuck on GO GO GO or white screen with HTC logo. What can be the possible explanation here? Anyone?
TnX

it could be a number of things, ive found the best way is to start again. SD flash an original wm6 stock ROM, then install hspl 2.08 > radio 2.15 > magldr 1.13 > os
take you SD card and download SDformatter, format it again
try again.
note that both your cards may not work and if you search you will find all of this info

Tnx mate, but I do the procedure 4 times without success. I still suspect that the problem is with the SD-Cards. Today hopefully I will try with SanDisk 16 Gb class 6. From what I read SanDisk is most used. And if this failed, I will flash stock WinMo 6.5 and reinstall everything again.

I have the same problem. Flashing complete in 100% but i can't pass the HTC logo when it's booting.
This is not SD fault because I have another device which is running fine...
Did task29, flashed winmo6.5, radio, hspl, magldr 1.13...
One phone simply can run wp7 and another can't ?

dont do the task29
SD flash WM6.5, HSPL, radio, magldr, flash OS
oh i wouldnt go with a class 6, whilst some folk have had working ones many more havent got it working, class 2 or 4 is best, just because its a class 2 doesnt mean its slower than class 6, infact many folk, myself included believe the class 2 and 4 is quicker

Did exacly what u said.
WM6.5 --> HSPL --> radio --> magldr --> flash YukiXDA'a OS
htc logo stuck
As i said i have another hd2 which is running on wp7 for a week... ive done exacly same thing to the both of them and one is not working... Is there something else what i can do?

Hmm, so your saying thatyou have access to 2 HD2s, running/trying to run WP7 and that one of them works with the SD card but the other doesnt work with it?

Ok I forgot to replay that I did it . In my case there was no need for stock ROM. I just:
1. Did task29
2. Installed WinMo ROM (In my case Dutty's V25)
3. Install MAGLDR
4. Install Wp7 ROM...and it works

Yep. Im doing EXACLY same thing to the 2 devices. Using the same SD card. First phone is booting and working second is not.
Tried about 5 times (to both of 'em to be sure). I have enough. This just can’t be done. Don’t know why. Maybe there is something wrong with memory? IDK... but this is extremely frustrating.

Ziaren, Do you have 2 SD cards with your 2 HD2s?
Have you tried with both sd cards on your HD2 that has this trouble?
Just a thought.
Good luck
