[Q] HD2 hangs on bootscreen

Hi guys,
I've been searching for an answer in the forum but can't seem to find one here. Hope that you all can help me out with this.
I've flashed to Android from WM6.5 and it will hang at the bootscreen HTC logo. It won't boot into Android. This happens to both SD and NAND versions. This all started a few months ago when I flashed to WP7 and flashed back to WM6.5 and didn't have time to play with Android. Tried various versions of Android and it still hang at the bootscreen HTC logo.
I'm using:
Radio: 2.15.50.14
HSPL: 2.08
Latest MAGLDR
Latest DAT
Can someone please help/advise me? Thanks in advance.

do you make proper nand (internal memory) partition for the roms (5-18-5,5-400-5 etc.)?
if you have leo 512,do you have sd-ext partition?

you should an external partition on your sd
first partition the bigger would be fat32
and the second partition (1GB) ext4 or ext3
then try to run the android again....

Hi guys,
Thanks so much for your help. I'm not sure if I'm doing things correctly. So I've re-read the tutorials again on partitioning my HD2. I've the 512MB version.
The Android Rom that I want to flash to is this NDT SENSE 3.0 PYRAMID SE V4.0[APP2SD+][Raf 2.0 OC] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185087
Recomended Recovery is 5-160-5
1. I used the HD2 NAND Toolkit to partition my HD2 with 160MB as Partition System with 5MB Cache.
2. I formated my 8GB Transcend microSD and partitioned it 1GB ext2 (primary) and 2GB ext3 (logical) and 5GB FAT32 (logical)
3. I flashed it using DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
4. Flash Recovery with edit "flash.cfg" with the recommended settings.
5. Then I Wipe full data and Advance - Dalvik cache on Recovery Menu is recommand
Funny thing... When I tried to do this, it says that there's no SD card in it. Does this mean that my microSD is not supported or do I need a smaller capacity microSD?
I hope you guys can help me with this noob question. Thanks again.

2nd step is wrong.do it that way:2 gb ext3 or ext4(primary)-the remaining part fat32(primary). dont use logical.dont make ext partitions more than one.g
after you have made nand partition with toolkit you have nothing to do with daf (this will repeat the same procedure as toolkit does)
first prepare your sd,put it in phone then partition nand.
now go in mgldr-ad recovery-wipe data factory reset.
lastly flash your rom and reboot.

Hey mutil. Thanks a lot!!!! HD2 running on Android now!!! WOooHOOooo

[SOLVED] cLK / NativeSD sboot not working

I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Followed these instructions to the letter, at least 6 times now.
The process I've followed:
1. Task29 to wipe phone
2. Installed cLK 1.5.11 with CWM 8
3. Partitioned the SD card (16GB Adata Class 10) using MiniTool in Windows
- 8GB FAT32 primary
- 8GB EXT4 primary
4. Copied ROM zip to SD card (eg. CMTight_leo_beta_v1.0_div3.zip)
5. Copied "flash_sboot_v2.zip" to SD card
6. Rebooted phone, added sboot partition in cLK
7. Booted recovery, and installed ROM
- SD-EXT
- no RMNET
8. Installed "flash_sboot_v2.zip"
9. Rebooted, selected "KERNEL @ sboot [UNDEFINED]"
... and I land up back in recovery, exactly where the installation process left off (step 8).
I have tried various ROM's, all the same result.
"Show Log" from CWM curiously shows:
mtd: erase failure at 0x0002000 (I/O Error)
mtd: erase failure at 0x0002000 (I/O Error)
mtd: skipping write block at 0x00020000
Done!script result was [Done!]

I've tried searching for the "UNDEFINED" sboot error, but found a vague reference to startup.txt, but no descriptive fix.
Any help? Please!!

In clk recovery, there is
an Option to Partition your sd card. Use this After patition with Mini Partition Tool. Only with Mini Partition Tool it does Not work. Try it and give Feedback.

Fixed!

Thanks, Fixed.
I had tried partitioning in cLK, but the same problem persisted.
So, I downloaded and installed cLK without recovery, and installed 4EXT recovery.
Used 4EXT to partition the SD card, 4GB EXT4 and rest FAT32.
Now all works.

Thats not correct, I formated my sdcard this weekend, repartition it using Minitoool and I have everything working.
The steps followed are the correct, so I don't see a reason to it doesnt work.
The problem might be the recovery, try one of these and then try to install rom again:
http://www.goo.im/devs/Xylograph/Various/Recoveries/NAND
Those recoverys can be flashed using your recovery, no need to use fastboot commands.
Notice that the 4Ext recovery needs 7mb recovery size in cLK.
Personaly I use TWRP (5mb) and have no problems.
EDIT: GiZZoR You're faster than me! :good:

Just for completeness, my device is partitioned as:
recovery 10mb
system 150mb
cache 10mb
sboot 5mb
Using:
kokotas' LK version 1.5.1.1 (black_lk_20120920-No_Rec.7z)

Doubt with native SD ROM

Hi there,
I successfully flashed an Android 4.2.1 Native SD ROM on the HD2's NAND (TimeJelly). This is the procedure I followed (coming from a complete erase of the phone's NAND, as the result of a failed previous attempt, lol):
Flashed HSPL 2.08
Flashed Radio compatible with 576 MB of ram (12.xx.50.xx if I recall correctly)
Flashed MAGDLR 1.13
Flashed CWM 6.0
Flashed the ROM from CWM by choosing zip from sd card.
And everything is good and working. But, I used one friend's SD to flash (since I still don't have one)... Now, I'd like to swap out the SD I used to flash (I understand it did automatically create an Ext4 partition on it?) and use the one I'll buy tomorrow.
What do I have to do? Without the SD the phone will just refuse to boot, stucking at the green HTC logo. Do I just have to partition the new SD from CWM? Do I have to flash everything again? (Jeeeeez).
I understand the EXT4 partition would be used only for the data, since it is stated Data2Ext in the ROM's title. ROM is in the NAND with DATA2EXT (the exact option I chose during installation, second one).
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated

If I understand correctly you want to move your sd content/installation to a new card, yes?
Go to the sd card thread in my signature and read post # 2. Specifically the part about backing up and restoring an sd card image.

Nono, I just installed a native sd ROM on the phone's NAND, and now it will simply not boot without an EXT4 formatted SD (because the /data partition is there, not on the NAND).
I repartitioned the SD from CWM this morning choosing 2 GB of EXT partition, and 2 GB of FAT32 partition, and everything is working. But, there's another problem. Whenever I reboot the phone, it will simply lose EVERY single setting, and it prompts me again to choose the language, google accounts ecc...
Any help?

no you didnt, , a nativeSD rom lives in the EXT partition, If you installed a rom to nand, then its a nand rom. If you install it to teh FAT partition, its an SD rom, if you install it to the sd-ext, its a nativeSD rom.
I understand it did automatically create an Ext4 partition on it?

no, you must create the ext partitions yourself.
Sounds to me like you have a nand rom, which is also using dataonext, , meaning teh rom lives on Nand, and the data partition is mounted onto the sd-ext, , in which case.....
into CWM - full backup
new sd card into phone
into cwm - create ext partition on new sd card
in cwm - selectively restore ONLY the sd-ext partition (you will need to have coppied over the fat32/clockwork/backups folder from the old card to teh new card)
reboot.

The SD card image backup would, essentially, duplicate a card in entirety, all partitions included.

i didn't say anything about an sd card backup, i said do a full cwm backup, which includes the system, data, boot and sd ext partitions, and not the fat32 partition, and then restore only the sdext partition to the new card (after of course creating teh new ext partition on teh new card)

CLK Should Have Q&A Thread And Other Stuff !

OK for the C.L.K Q&A thread it should be there and also should be a sticky.
And also i have a weird problem with my HD2
SO I just installed C.L.k 1.5.2.1 From the Sdcard in Hardspl Screen red/white/blue thingy And
then installed T.W.R.P 2.6.0.0 from fastboot from my Ubuntu PC not a problem and finished that then
i booted T.W.R.P it was not able to mount sdcard or the sd-ext partition at all So i thought it wont read beacuse from
MAgldr to Clk related stuff so i reformatted my sd-card which is a Samsung 8gb class 6 to fat32 and ext4 partitions in gparted
copied my roms to that and installed through TWRP then had another problem as that the ext4 partition wont mount in bootup
or with TWRP so redid every thing so the questions is why does the ext4 partiton not mount never had any problems with that on magldar
AND is it best to use ext3 or ext4 for android So Devs and experts whats ur thought on this ?????
Before all of the that i had made a 500 MB System partition as i had 23 bad blocks in my nand so :crying: yeah had a hell lot of reboots
force closes in a 440 MB in maglder that's the max for it don't know why i don't use the onboard data partition as i use { DATAONEXT }
Specifics :: Tmous ; CLK1.5.2.1 ; T.W.R.P 2.6.0.0 ; Slim Rom 7.2 ; Thanks for reading all my blaabering TEEHEE

I won't answer EVERYTHING, but try this:
Backup SD card, and use the formatter in TWRP>advanced to format the sdcard and let it choose which "ext" partition to create, you just choose the size, with 0 swap of course. Report back.

Thanks for your speedy reply.
I have some further questions though:
1. which 'recovery' do you mean and where will I find Titanium backup and tytung tool?
2. I have downloaded the paragon software to copy the sd card contents which I will try to do now. However, what are the 'normal' methods used to resize as I mentioned in my previous post that the ext4 partition seems fixed when using the mini tool partition software?
TIA,
Geoff.
---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------
Robbie,
I have put the sd card into the slot on my computer (which is a year old HP laptop) and also tried in a USB port but the Paragon software is not recognising the card at all, with only the c drive being shown. However, I am able to see the contents of the fat32 partition of the SD card through explorer as normal. Am I doing something wrong??

Which recovery did you use to install the rom? does it have facility to backup ext partitions? I know macs18max edited SDrecovery can do this from the first post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/nand-dev/nov-17-2015-kernel-3-0-101-t3251438 others can too.
titanium backup can be found in play store, free and paid versions. haven't used it myself for a while and only used free one. people on this forum swear by it though.
tytung's NativeSD backup might have to be searched for, I'm afraid.
Don't know why your ext partition is not showing up. What rom(s) are you using?
magldr or clk?
Sounds like you will have to use a backup method from the phone as opposed to pc, to store the contents on your FAT partition, then move/copy them to pc.
does this make sense?

Thanks again Robbie. Tis whole thing gets wierder as follows:
I'm using Nexus HD2 Jellybean-CM10_V1.3a as the rom. In the recovery directory of the SD card there's the Jellybean rom as mentioned, clrcad (dated 8/7/2010, haret, initrd.zip, startup text document & zImage (dated 5/9/2012).
There's also a NativeSD directory with the same files as the recovery directory.
Running Haret from the recovery directory takes me to 4EXT Recovery v2.2.7 RC5.
It also shows: E: can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache".
In the info section it lists the sd-ext partition ext4 1012MiB free 135.5mb, sdcard fat32 14175 MiB free 8.0gb.
Attempt to backup fails as can't find cache partition, boot, recovery logs on E:
I loaded the Paragon software on my newer laptop but no ext partition was found. I then loaded the Paragon software on an older laptop and hey presto the partition was there. I tried to back this up on the pc but had repeated problems with files not being read. Then suddenly the ext partition disappeared on the pc but phone booted into Android-phew!.
I tried on the 1st pc and suddenly it recognised the ext partition. I tried backing up the partition but again had read problems. The fat32 partition backed up without 1 error.
So where do I go now? I don't want to loose the data in the ext partition but don't seem to be able to backup. Any suggestions welcome.
Geoff.

perhaps paragon wasn't the best choice for backing up. Try the recovery linked-to above, put it on your sdcard and run haret from its folder (you might have to change the folder name so that it is not the same as your other recovery folder). then select backup, then scroll down to sdext, tick it and swipe, it should copy to your FAT, and it seems you have plenty of space there. I haven't tried this backup method, which is why I said use 2 methods to backup. the more the merrier.
There are free sms, phone and app backup applications such as superbackup in playstore.
There was also a way to copy the whole sdcard as an image, partitions included, I will have a look for it.

Robbie thanks again.
I downloaded the recovery folder from your link but there's only 2 files in it namely initrd.gz and zImage, there's no haret. I have copied the haret, clrcad & startup text files files from the old recovery directory but it just hangs on running haret.
Geoff.

Sorry Geoff, I am not giving you very good advice. That recovery has a 3.0 kernel in it, and won't boot from haret. Am working ATM, will reply later.

Hi again Robbie,
I have good news and bad!!
I managed to eventually get the Paragon software to recognise the ext4 partition on my new laptop. What's odd is that the ext4 partition is listed under the name of the c drive. I then unmount and remount the ext4 with a new drive letter and I can then read/write. So having managed to mount, I was able to copy off all the files from the FAT32 & ext4 partitions to my hard disk. That's the end of the good bit.
As its 3 years since I did the last Jellybean install, I'd forgotten what to do and kept seeing posts about magldr and custom radio roms. I tried to boot into magldr on the phone while doing the sd card backups but it wouldn't go into it. I had assumed I must have installed it when I did the original SD rom install and I then wrongly assumed I needed to reinstall the HSPL4 and custom radio roms to get it on again. The former was ok but the latter caused the phone to hang on reboot at the HTC logo. At this point I went to the bootloader screen but after having the 4 colour screen I then got the white screen with blue writing for updating the rom from an sd card (there must have been an unzipped rom on the card). I mistakenly hit the install rom button and this erased all the phone's data before I'd had chance to use SD Backup, a programme I hadn't bothered using since long before I converted to Android.
I then looked back in my old bookmarks and came across a facebook guide to the Native SD installation which didn't mention magldr at all and it was at this point that I realised I'd not previously loaded it on the phone, although I did eventually manage to get it on after downgrading the HSPL to 2.08 and successfully flashing the custom radio only to be permanently booting into magldr-so I again reflashed the stock rom to get rid of it! What a waste of time!!
Having backed up the sd card partitions, I erased the partitions and made a new ext4 of 3gb and copied back the files to both partitions. I tried to boot the haret in the native SD folder but the phone hung at the HTC logo and then rebooted itself back into windows. I tried installing the jelly bean rom as an update using ext4 recovery but no joy. I tried wiping the ext4 partition and reformatting with EXT4 recovery then installing the rom as a new install which then booted into Android ok after which I overwrote the ext4 files with the previously saved ones. Now I get a boot into the CyanogenMod screen but no further even after waiting 30 mins. I also tried using NAtiveSD onetouch recovery to try and make a backcup of the old system and then restore over the new install (but not the boot files) but again I just get the hung CyanogenMod screen.
So do you have any idea of how I might get a successful boot with my old data? Perhaps I'm missing something else in the overwrite/restore process but I can't see what.
Any further help would be grateful-perhaps you have forum contact who might be able to help as well.
TIA,
Geoff.:crying:
