ERROR: ERROR: Cannot read ramdisk image - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hello guys,
Does anyone know what does this message mean:"ERROR: ERROR: Cannot read ramdisk image"?
It appeared on my HD2 while I was installing an Android ROM on it and now I cannot run any other OS on it but Windows Mobile. I tried Google but had no luck. Only one person as far as I understood experienced this problem but I have no reply from him and I am not even sure if he managed to solve the problem anyway.
So, if anyone knows something about it I would be happy to hear. Any help would be useful. Thanks in advance!
Best regards

Did u flashed radio ?

I reflashed radio, did task29, flashed hspl, flashed Magldr, flashed stock WM ROM from my PC, then again from sd card and no result. WM ROM works ok but that's it. No Android or WP7 can be flashed. In order to be more specific, here is what I do:
1. HSPL 2.08
2. task29 with Radio 2.15
3. Magldr
4. CWM
And when I try to enter AD Recovery from the Magldr menu I receive the message I mentioned in my first post and there is nothing more to be done but using the phone with WM which in my opinion makes out of my HD2 a piece of crap.

Let mi simple u Task29 and Radio Rom
Task 29 - When u do task 29 to phone u delete everything even radio rom. So the thing u need to do is do this for magldr :
-Task29
-Radio Rom
-Magldr
-CWM
-Wipe
-Flash Rom
-Calibrate battery (some roms do it itself)
If it will make u easier i can make tutorial but im pretty much sure there is milions of them .
Try that way and report if it worked . Its 30min process.
EDIT: HD2 powered by WM is crippled yea. Android is far superiour even withou cam. But let me tell u one thing first thing why i tooked HD2 is Windows by stock and customization possible. Didnt carred about low battery etc. Windows is till now unbeatable bussines platform. iOs is near but its not it. Android hard to get bussines capable like windows 7. What I mean windows is bussines ready,iPhone is kinda ready and on android u have to customize like hell to get everything (at least what I as system admin need)

Task29 does not delete your radio. I was sure of it because I had flashed my phone a lot of times in the past, but anyway, I tried your method and the result was the same. When I install Magldr and then CWM, the phone does not let me enter the CWM menu so I cannot continue with the flashing of the Android ROM itself. It is just not possible without CWM. I also tried cLK method but when I press and hold the home key, the phone restarts and I get to a dead end once again. Thanks for your help anyway.
As far as WM is concerned, there is absolutely no chance for me to use this phone with this OS. if I cannot find a way to manage the problem I will just sell the phone and buy a native Android one which will make things much easier for me.
Best regards

Which rom are u trying to install?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk

It is all the same which one because when you are not able to enter the CWM menu you cannot install anything, but for instance, let's say this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264828

I had problems booting that rom too. Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326217 almost perfect. Mwakious has some bugs i w8 for him to fix it

You don't follow what I say. I cannot enter CWM menu so I cannot even start flashing any ROM, it doesn't matter which one it is.
Merry Christmass by the way!

Which windows mobile u have/had ? Can u run android from sd ? Can u tell me exact procedure u tried to install nand android? If u want to try ffaster u can pm me to send u skype or gtalk.

Hi
I have the same issue, in bootloader on ad recovery.. i get cannot read ramdisk image, I will not uninstall ANDROID, because I will no longer support android, if I can not install any other roms
Any other advice, but to not lose my actual ROM!!!!
PS: I had installed ROM Manager latest, and installed clockwork from rom manager, Till then the recovery worked....

Had the same problem yesterday. I used the HD2 Toolkit to repartition, by the way it installs Recovery 5.
Then everything worked fine.

Could you please explain me step by step how exactly you managed to solve the problem. I installed HD2 Toolkit 4.2.0.1 and try to use Update recovery function but the console that opens after I start the process freezes and I cannot continue. There is an explanation in it saying that probably the USB connectin is not good. However I use the USB flasher in Magldr menu for this connection between the phone and the PC and I don't know another way to connect both devices for the installation process. Is there something that I am missing?
By the way The message that I receive now when I try to open CWM changed from "...cannot read ramdisk image" to "...cannot read kernel image". Does it make any difference?
Thanks in advance!

@By the way The message that I receive now when I try to open CWM changed from "...cannot read ramdisk image" to "...cannot read kernel image". Does it make any difference?
For this question I do not know any answer, but for USB Connection I know because I had the same problem:
Put your phone in debugging mode.. and connect it to PC..
Use usbdeview to delete any android drivers from that list..
Then in device manager find any new hardware, and right click, and update: Browse my driver manually> Let me pick my driver> find the driver from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783 find "Download Drivers By T-Macgnolia", and after that you need to find Android Driver installed in device manager, after that hd2 toolkit will work.

Solution
You have to copy the files in the. Zip attachment inside the SD.
Make the whole process as usual, but instead choose the option you choose AD Recovery Boot option AD DS.
This way you can access the recovery menu and load the rom.

Thx a lot!!!
This worked for me- just perfect!!!
Mikel

Worked for me as well, thanks very much, I was about to see how far the phone could fly.

Thanks
Hi, and many thanks.
I fixed my error like a charm.

Had the same problem
Thank you, this realy helped me out!

HOW TO INSTALL HSPL
NOTE:To install this HSPL there must be SPL 1.42.0000 on your device. Otherwise the installation will fail! To check your SPL version, hold the Volume Down button and do a reset.
It is possible to downgrade to this SPL, by just flashing to an Official ROM with this SPL version.
1. Download HardSPL package from http://www.mediafire.com/?44nvdoc45zykmen and extract to an empty folder
2. Synch Phone with PC in Windows Mobile!!! It has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable
3. Run HSPL3_PKG.exe from your pc and read all the text carefully
4. When finished reading click next in the HardSPL program
5. The program will now check the usb connection and enter bootloader screen (tri colour)
*You can select between SPL2.08.0000 or 2.08.HSPL. This is to avoid people with 1024LEO's installing an incompatable version and bricking their device*
6. Select 2.08.HSPL for HardSPL and click NEXT.
7. Your choice will be flashed to your phone.
8. When its finished the HardSPL program will pop up a box saying "Successfully Done" and the phone will reboot.
9. Click ok to terminate program.
10. Congrats, you just flashed HardSPL.

Many sd cards are not recognised/compatible with WP7. You'll see a thread in this forum dealing with the compatibility issue and trying to identify which sd card types do work.

That's right you need to get a Windows live activation code from MS. There is a hack that needs to be applied to "trick" the market into thinking the device is an HD7, but you still will need the activation code. See here

Do you have hspl of 2.08.hspl or 2.08.0000. You need the hspl bit at the end. Also do you have a 50 series radio of at least 2.08.50 installed?

Hope this is helpful.
As Nick.C has pointed out CWM = ClockWorkMod Recovery. Im assuming this is the method you are using to flash your builds.
I did not mean for u not to use task29 at all. Follow the steps below and all should be well.
1. Task29 to remove Windows Phone 7
2. Flash official WM6.5 Build (DO NOT Task29)
3. Download and use SD Formatter 3.0 to format SD Card. Set option to Full Erase and Size adjustment to ON.
4. Install MGLDR 1.13
5. Flash CWM
6. Flash your favorite android build.
just to be sure...after flash official rom...i think i need to hspl before flash maglrd
i know i should read mag installation guide...but...im stuck in highway and im too lazy to find it hehehe

If you have flashed custom roms before, then you already have HSPL installed, because u cant flash custom roms without it. HSPL is always there until you remove it, even if you flash an official or custom rom.
To flash MGLDR - Boot into the boot loader screen (Multi Color Screen) and then flash MGLDR
To flash CWM - Boot into MGLDR and select usb flasher then flash CWM. Some chefs have there own custom CWM so read there instruction so u will know if you will use the original CWM or their version.
sd card block size?

Another "Please help me" thread

Hi, first of all I'm new here and I'm a complete noob/ignorant, my English is not going to be great and I might have infringed some rule/s with the title of this thread, but I just couldn't think of a better title.
I know you're going to tell me I should've read guides, tutorials, etc, but all this is very new and complicated to me, I'm sorry. I'd appreciate a lot some help, some tips.
The problem seems simple at first: My girlfriend just bought a used HTC HD2 (my idea..), because that's exactly what I did some months ago (with a great success). My idea was to flash TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 on it, because it's the ROM I use and it works very well. The problem is: This used HD2 had already been flashed and it has this ROM running (Tonofu HD 1.3). When I flashed mine I used the PC program "Easy Android" so it was very easy, whereas this one already has Android, MAGLDR 1.13 and all that stuff, so it's not like doing it from the beginning, from the factory-state. Know what I mean? I don't know how to do it from this point.
We downloaded the app ROM Manager but when we tap on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" it asks us to "Confirm Phone Model" and only HTC Desire appears in that list.
So I said, OK, let's try install ClockworkMod manually (because it's not installed, it seems). And here comes the BIG problem, neither the laptop nor the PC recognize the phone through the USB cable. We tried on both computers, all the ports... and nothing, absolutely nothing appears on the screen. So, of course, when we got into MAGLDR and chose the USB Mass Storage option (so we could install CWM manually) we couldn't do it.
So... how could I install the ROM I want when the phone has already a ROM running? How could I do that without connecting the phone to a computer through USB? Or do you know what might be causing this USB problem? Would a factory reset fix this USB issue? Would it be easier to install the ROM after a factory reset?
A lot of questions, I know... but I need help... I don't have a lot of time... Thank you.

For both via CWR:
Download the *_CWR.zip file onto sdcard
Go into recovery by either holding home key in cLK or using the 8. AD to recovery in MAGLDR
Note: recovery-partition size of minimum 5MB needed
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Choose zip from sdcard
Navigate/Select the recovery from the sdcard
Select yes to install the recovery
reboot into recovery, and hooray, you are in the new recovery

Ok for some reason I can not get the HTC Mania site to load on my laptop or my Sensation. So I can not see if that ROM that is flashed via a DAF and option #5 USB Flasher in MAGLDR. But if the HD2 does not have CWM installed on it then it must be one. Also if The Mall has went to both option #2 SD AD and option #8 AD Recovery in MAGLDR and there is now recovery then the process that geniusjl discribed will not work as it is no CWM to flash CWM with. Besides if CWM is already installed The Mall would not have this problem.
Now back to the original question of what to do. First go and download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. Install the toolkit on you computer and open it up. Look at the bottom right corner of the toolkit window and click on Download Drivers and then follow the instructions to install the drivers. This will allow your computer to recognize the HD2 when you plug it up via USB. Next click on MAGLDR Update Recovery at the top of the toolkit window and then connect you HD2 via USB to your computerand click on update at the bottom left hand cornewr of the toolkit window. Follow all the on screen instructions and this will flash CWM 4.0.0.0 to your HD2. Then you can download the ROM you want and place it on the root of your SD card and use CWM to flash it.
Thanks! I'm going to try.
Damn.. we have a problem, we installed the Toolkit but when clicking on Download Drivers the link is broken. (cdn.nex.im/hd2_installer/download/hd2_drivers_ksubedi.zip)
Do you know another site we can download the drivers from?
Edit: I finally found this source: mediafire.com/?jf8xbyo2ro0z01z
Edit2: No, that's not it... damn, I need somewhere to download the drivers from.
I can't find any website to download the drivers from. HD2 NAND Toolkit takes me to a broken link so I can't download them. Help, please?

[Q]windows mobile6.5 to android major problem

after tonnes and days of reading and digging out infos from this forum, i tried as much as i could to follow instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
but then, something went wrong and now my HD2 is not booting up. it is now stucked at the HTC splash screen. i can reboot to get the MAGLDR however.
what i did was, i flashed MAGLDR, as in the first step in the link above.
then i flashed this android ROM:
MAGLDR_Android_2.3.5_Runny.rar
from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298188
and then the problem started. i'm now searching for a way to recover my phone to the original condition, which was windows mobile. or even better, someone help me solve this and my phone can continue in android. i really need the android because the WolfRam alpha app is not available for windows mobile.
help me please, i'm nearing exams and i need help in my calculus so i decided to take the risk but unfortunately i'm now phoneless and going out of my mind.
thanks in advance
correct spl?
correct radio?
correct partition size?
Radio 2.15.50.14
HARDSPL 2.08
i didn't check the partition, how do i check that?
when you flashed CWM you chose a partition size based on the stated size for the rom you want to flash. it will be in the first post of that roms thread. Use teh nand toolkit, is teh easy way.
EDIT - oh wait, forget that, that rom provides its own cwm, , you have a 265meg system partition, so probably not that, (unless you missed out steps
Download archive with the MAGLDR loader and Recovery from here than unpack its content.
and
Run DAF.exe from MAGLDR_Recovery folder)
still stucked at the black screen with the green HTC words. i tried several times already and it won't start up.
is it possible to wipe the whole thing installed in the phone, and install android to it?
If you flashed magldr then it's all already gone.
I'd try a different rom. Maybe its simply that that rom doesn't like your phone for whatever reason.
Pick a rom
Enter magldr - USB flasher
Flash required partition size using the nand toolkit
Enter magldr option 8 ad recivery
Choose flash zip from SD - choose zip
Probably a stupid suggestion - but have you checked the battery pins? Make sure they're not bent in anyway and that the'yre making contact with the battery.
@samsamuel;
you were right, the ROM hated me :'(
i changed to using the coredroid ROM and everything worked thank you very much!!
@MrFoxx;
i checked the battery pins, and they were indeed bent! but it didn't give me any problem

[q] y u no make me root??

Hey Guys,
at first, i hope this question isnt coming again and again, but i couldn't find anything helpful (for ME!) yet.
I have the HTC HD2 and got really tired of Windows Phone 6.5, so i changed it to Android. (Took me weeks to figure that out until it worked)
My current ROM:
Android 2.2 HTC Desire
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
I use Magdlr and boot from NAND.
Superuser Elite is installed (bought it), but i cant update it - no matter what i do, it wont let me be root. I even tried the terminal, but when i type in "su" it directly says "permission denied". The problem is, my phone memory is low and i cant install apps directly on the sd-card (never found a guide how to get this automatically done).
What can i do??
i am rly desperate... the sad thing is, my boyfriend (yes, i am a girl) isnt much into smartphone stuff though he's got the new htc sensation - and also not into unix / linux systems - it seems all the guys i know besides only use an iPhone and google won't be my friend...
PLS PLS PLS HELP ME!
oh and sry for the bad language, grammar etc - i'm german ;-)
that is an old, out of date rom. It was the first proof of concept release when cotulla created magldr, so i would advise you to move to a different more recent rom. (We now have roms running android 2.3, 3 and even some early android 4 roms.)
There are very very few roms that flash in quite the same way, now, so you would need to learn about flashing CWM(clockwork, clockworkmod, clockwork recovery, it has several names)
Go get the 'android toolkit' from the android nand section, and then go read some of the guides from HERE

Old, outdated ROM with no root access. Use a newer one.
Yep its an old ROM. Don't worry though, you'll be able to redownload superuser on a new ROM. Just do what Sam says and it'll work fine. Surprised you even knew that you could flash android on to the hd2, because "you're a girl".
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =
ok guys thank you for the detailed informations!
i didnt know the rom is outdated - i guess installing a new one is the best idea in that case. i thought of that before, but it took me so long to get this one working so i wasn't in the mood for re-installing yet.
THANK YOU all, i will let you know if it worked - in case i cant fix this, would someone be able to help me via teamviewer?

I'm pretty sire you won't need to give remote access, you'll be able to do it. All you'll need is the latest magldr 1. 13 (if I'm not mistaking)
Once you've got that, you just need to flash the clockwork mod daf file from usb flasher on magldr, then when you flash into clockwork its easy, just flash a zip file.
You can backup ROM's etc. from clockwork so its really convenient.

I totally crashed it!!
Hi Guys - it has happened
i totally crashed my hd2.
what i did:
i read the guides and got the newest android nand toolkit. so, i performed task29 and installed hspl, then clk. the problem now is: i cant do anything else! when i boot, i get this white clk screen where i can choose recovery normal or sboot. i cant repartition, my phone has no connection when i switch into the mode "with the 3 colours"... so - i can copy to sd card what i want, i can perform every task with the toolkit, even the backup rom for the original windows phone doesnt help because it says: "pls check that you're phone is connected via usb". my pc has the android usb drivers, it shows the device, all ok. i cant go into usb flasher because it seems, no magldr is installed - i tried and tried so many things and now i cant even perform a wipe.
seems i need to give you remote access anyway....
PLEASE! help me!
if you need screenshots i will upload them, just let me know.
Start from the beggining by reflasing with the 3 colours on the screen, im no expert and I use magloader not clk, so try doing a fresh one with magloader and see how it goes

Plug the phone into the PC. Hold the back arrow key after turning the phone on to boot to fastboot . Then either try flashing Cwm via the NAND toolkit or do it manually through fastboot.
P. S. Did you install a radio?
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
try to do it the way "typhoon" discribed it in his thread
