Rebooting into Windows Mobile - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi
I followed this tutorial to installing Android on an SD card. This worked well for the first time.
I used a 4GB SD card, and my radio is 2.8.000. Though what happens is when I load it, the 'loader' launches fine, though then reboots the device into Windows Mobile. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the Windows Mobile ROM being custom or not.
NOTE - I am a noob to custom roms ect, therefor I thought it would be a good idea to post the tutorial source. I'm also sorry if I did not include enough information.
If anyone has had this problem or knows a solution, all help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

HSPL won't affect SD Android and (if I'm not mistaken) he has a .50 radio which is fine for booting Android... unless he got the SPL/HSPL version and the radio version confused, which is likely as radio 2.8.000 doesn't exist, I think he meant HSPL 2.08. In this case OP, flash a newer radio with .50 (see this thread)

So is HSPL Just needed to update the radio?

Basically yeah, and to flash Cutsom ROMs. It is of course needed for everything to do with NAND Android as well, but as far as I know SPL version doesn't affect SD Android, only the radio does. When I used SD Android I just skipped the whole HSPL/Radio things and just flashed the latest stock ROM 3.14 which gave me the latest radio, then ran Android

I've tried something like this before. Though I had issues with it not picking it up. It would just hang at 0%. I'm not sure if this was because I was doing something wrong or not. Do you know how to resolve this issue? I used ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center on different machines.
Thanks.

I'm using a 4GB memory card. I'm using a custom ROM, in my case CleanEX DsE Core V3.5 WWE. I do not know how to remove this because it came with the device. Could this be the reason for the rebooting back into Windows Mobile?
The radio version is SPL-2.08.0000

You're becoming very confused. SPL 2.08 is not the radio version, it is the SPL version. You should have HSPL 2.08 and Radio 2.15 is recommended. You can check radio version in WinMo by going to settings>software information>radio (if I'm not mistaken at least, it's been ages since I used WinMo) and your radio should be 2.xx.50.xx (in other words, 2.08 or above). If it isn't, see this guide for all the info you need

In that case, my radio version is 2.10.50.08_2

No, in that case this radio is perfectly fine. Have you tried a full format of your SD card to FAT32 format? This often helps.

I've tryed this multiple times, though it has not helped. I have even tryed using a program for SD cards. I have a feeling it is something to do with the custom ROM in Windows Mobile, though I cannot restore it due to having problems with CustomRUU.
Is their any equivalent to CustomRUU? Or a way to get round the problem?

OK I know this may seem patronising, but the Android files are in a folder named 'Andriod' with a startup.txt with rel_path='Android' right?

Yup, the startup file contains

set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set cmdline ""
boot
I think it may be a problem with the Android version or something.
Is there another Android SD card version here? I don't mind if it has HTC Sence or not.

I've just tried 2 different versions of Android (for SD cards) and it did the same thing. Though with one of them it worked the first time, though when I restarted it, it would not work after that.
Something wrong with the HD2?

Help with Froyo 2.2 on HTC HD2 freezes

Hi everyone,
This is my first post in a long time.
Havent been on this board in ages.
I recently purchased a HTC HD2 and thought I figured out how to load Froyo 2.2 on to my HD2.
I load Froyo 2.2 on to HD2 and it works but after it i set it down and not touch it it will not come back on. I tried to reboot and and it loads fine from the sd card.
I followed the instructions here.
Here is the step by step guide on installing Android 2.2 Froyo on your HTC HD 2 easily:
1. The first step is to download this File, unzip and save the contents on your desktop [Or wherever your prefer].
2. Now connect your HTC HD2 with the computer and copy paste the dowloaded file to the root of SD card.
3. Once this is done, disconnect your phone and launch Windows Mobile File Manager.
4. Now in the File Manager, navigate to Android Folder and tap of “CLRCAD” followed by “Haret”.
5. Now wait for the procedure to finish. so not do anything silly at this time because the first boot will take some time so hang on in there.
6. There you go! Your HTC HD2 will reboot into Android. You can now make calls, email, connect to Wi-Fi or Edge and do everything else that you do with a phone.
You can navigate to this link if you are facing any difficulty in installing Android 2.2 Froyo on your HTC HD 2.
The phone is great with Froyo 2.2 but with win 6.5 its kind of ****ty.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for the great work guys. !!!!

I have the same problem. Trying to figure it out.
4.3, what exact build are you using? I'll throw it on my phone and see if I get the same issue.
Also, are you using a custom ROM or a stock one?
I havent touched the rom, wasnt aware that I had to do that.
Dont know how to do it either.
Now I have the problem of me hearing the people sounding like an alien.
4.3 - try load the custom rom first before running android.

thanks dmoney
4.3, the "robot voice" is a known issue, and seems to be cleared up by running a non-stock ROM as opposed to a stock one, and supposedly helps overcome other issues as well, but that one in particular. You can find advice on which custom ROM's are recommeded for using when you want to run android, in the HD2 android forum section. Instructions on how to flash to a custom ROM can be found in the "links to cabs, ROM's, how to's..." thread that's stickied at the top of this section.
I'm going to try that froyostone build now (been meaning to anyway)....4.3, let me know if you're trying a different one than that.
i used FroyoStone_sense.7z

gotcha, thank you. I'm loading the clean version as I write this, I'll check that out and then try the sense version. Sounds like the problem is independent of sense though.

Im using the same set-up that darkstone recomends.......
Rom: Miri WM6.5x V17.6
Radio: 2.10.50.26
Builds: Mattcnexus & FroyoStone_Sense
Multiboot, Desktop Android & Ubuntu Launcher - EBL2.1
Used to have the "Sleep of Death" issue also, stop using taskiller & usbmount. All good now. You definately need to flash the stock rom, try the one I recomended it's super stable. Good Luck !
what is the difference between spl and hspl? I have SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE,

HSPL is just a specific type of SPL. Make sure you read this guide, which tells you all about flashing on the HD2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621930
Then, once you have all that down, you can get the HSPL you need ("HSPL3") here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893
Thanks GOD!!!
I think I have done right.
I flashed it with the HSPL
Then downloaded Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.4.1 S23569 B2.14.nbh for tomoible htc HD2
unzipped it in to a desktop file with the custom.ruu file and Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.4.1 S23569 B2.14.nbh
Now i have to test it out and see if froyo 2.2 will work..
i was able to Flash my HTC HD2 with HSPL
And then load the Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.4.1 S23569 B2.14.nbh
I then tried to load the froyo 2.2 on the phone which loaded after a difficult time locating the sd file folder.
After I loaded it on I still have the trouble of the alien radio talking. Is there a way to fix the alien radio thing.
Also Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.4.1 S23569 B2.14.nbh seems to be using Edge instead of 3G. Is there anyway to change this? If I wanted edge I would have stuck with my Iphone.
The 3G and the big screen was my primary factor in switching to htc hd2.
This phone sucks with WM 6.5. But the screen size and Froyo 2.2 makes up for it. To bad HTC made a bad decision to load WM instead of android. What a loss
Any help from sirphunkee/God or any one that has knowledge in this would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Awww come on, WinMo isn't that bad. I actually like it.
I am using Aug 6 Energy Cookie rom, 2.10.50.26 radio and using Darkstone Froyo 2.1 clean version. I don't have the robo voice problem.
Oh yeah, if you are using a T-Mous hd2 on At&t, you won't get 3g service. T-Mo and At&t use different bands for 3g.
so there is no way to escape the robot voice without flashing a rom?

Flashing a rom seems to be the only solution right now. It's easy (and kind of fun) to flash a rom. Read through this a few times and follow the directions exactly and you'll have it flashed in no time.

Success!! But wait...

Hey folks!
Just want to say thanks to everyone who put up some of the great FAQs and guides on here.
I'm successfully running Android on my HTC HD2 (TMOUS) w/ 1024Flash.
However, I am in need of some guidance.
I'm using the HD2Froyo_v2.1 build.
I have also successfully installed HardSPL.
I made a test call, and the person on the other end sounded like a tiny robot.
I read about this in the forum guides, but I'm not sure what exactly I should do.
Can anyone offer some advice/guidance?
I believe I need to install a custom Radio, but I'm not sure which one.
Also, are there any other issues I should expect or anticipate?
Will I be okay to continue using the Android OS from now on if I like it?
Thanks!!

I have tried like so many combinations....BTW, do you know how to show
the correct battery level on the vbn reloaded winmo rom ? Due to its low
current draw, i would like to run it as main OS
z
Okay, so if I install that first one you gave me, I shouldn't have any call issues?
The build of Android I'm using seems to be running great, except for calls.
So here are my questions:
I need to install this VBNROM, correct?
Does this affect the Radio? My Android was running fine, but wasn't processing calls.
Will this VBNROM take care of this issue?
Also, how do I get back to Android after a reboot.
I'm currently back in Windows Mobile, but don't know how to get back to my Android install.
Thanks for the help, guys!

I'll try that first.
Any recommendations?
Try changing your radio. Search this as I am not allowed to post threads:
HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread
Im pretty sure that you shouldn't flash to a .51 radio (grab the .50 ones) as they brick your TMOUS HD2.
If that doesn't fix the issue then you have to change your WM rom. Try Chucky's rom I found that got rid of the robot voice for me.
Post up if you have any questions.

Thanks.
If you can email me the link, my email is kms311 AT hotmail DOT com
I want to make sure I have the right thread.
try the 2.12.50.02_2, I am using that and it works perfect.
Also try putting music on your phone if you notice that it is playing faster than normal then change your WM rom.
Also, can someone tell me how to get back into Android?
I'm back in WinMobile, and I ran haret again. But now it just reboots to WinMobile each time.
Once android is loaded you won't have to do anything except get some cool new apps like angry birds (which is free and AWESOME). Also to boot up android, open the CRLCAD.exe then Haret.exe then it should boot. Not sure if i spelt it correctly but i hope you understand what i meant.
As I said before changing you WM rom may also help the robot voice. I would recommend Chucky's rom as it has a bootloader, so when WM loads there will be a black and white robot you press and it will boot up Android, better then opening both exe files.
To flash a radio go to the forum i sent you, then go to the installing section
to install as said you need HardSPL, and then download the radio rar file, and also download the CustomRUU file. After they have finished downloading Rename and extract the radio rar file make sure the name says: RUU_Signed.nbh and then open up the CustomRUU.exe and it should load it on to your HD2.
Here is what they wrote:
Installing:
For installing a RADIO ROM you need HardSPL installed to your device.
Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU: it won't hardreset your device.
Okay. I think I follow.
So I'll load a Custom ROM, like Chucky's, using CustomRUU and renaming the file.
Then I'll load the 2.12.50.02.2 Radio, and I should be set.
Have I got that right?
Try flashing a radio first and see if it works. If you still have robo-voice which i doubt then you can load Chucky's Rom.

i would take the suggestion from the first reply by blacksxe, which is the VBNRom.. and install the radio recommendation version that was posted at the VBNRom page as well (2.15)... also, expect that you will boot to winmo each and everytime that you restart your phone.. as of now, there is no nand support that's available for users.. only the devs has it and it's still under development.. so just use the EBL program that's included on the VBNRom and set it to autoboot (6 seconds or even 10).. that way you won't have to run haret manually each and everytime you restart..

All hail WP7 on the HTC HD2! So glad I bought this instead of the TG01 or Nexus One
Nice bro. Good work. One thing people really need to know is that WP7 will format your SD card.. Everyone keep this in mind and dont lose your files!
will it work on the touch pro 2 gsm wvga
I see that's a EURO HD2, i thought the readme said only 1024 TMOUS versions work?
Btw one question, if you want to revert back to Android, is it the same process of getting a NAND rom and installing the .exe again?

No. First off, the HTC HD2 is the only device capable of running WP7 (Capacitive touch, 1ghz QSD, etc). Second off, this ROM is designed for the HD2, so I'd assume it would brick your Touch Pro 2, even if you could manage to make it flash. Sorry.
How do i backup my nand rom? Or do you only have to backup you SD card?

I see that's a EURO HD2, i thought the readme said only 1024 TMOUS versions work?
Btw one question, if you want to revert back to Android, is it the same process of getting a NAND rom and installing the .exe again?

I assume so... the readme says you can flash back to Windows Mobile, so worst comes to worst, flash to Windows Mobile and then back to MAGLDR. But you should be able to just flash Android NAND.
And yes, it is a European HD2 (not sure what carrier). Everything is working fine, and if I recall, the T-Mobile US version will be forced to 512 if you flash this. Read that in the readme I believe, or maybe I'm confusing something. Either way, it works great on my European HD2.

This will replace *everything* on your device, including your SD card contents, so I'd back up your important files and take that SD card out before trying it.

Ok, but there's no way i can backup my android installation. So when i reinstall android i don't have to reconfigure android.

I've never used Android NAND, but I would have to assume your Android configuration will be lost, unless there's an application that will back it up and store it somewhere for reuse.
Does it work on my HD2 T9193 Telstra? Since my device only has 512MB Rom, NOT a tmobile version has 1GB Rom.

My European HD2 has 512mb rom afaik, and it's working fine. To quote the readme, also:
"LEO1024:
At current moment LEO1024 supported, but only 512 megabytes of NAND is used. "
So I assume the Telstra version will work too, if you're willing to give it a shot.
Good luck!

I want to say "yes", you should be able to slip it in the microSD slot and it should automatically format. Of course, it'll be WP7-only forever, so be careful!

Strange... do you have radio 2.08 or higher, and HSPL3 installed?
You can backup your nan android search this site It makes a backup file on you sd card you can copy to your computer, you have to boot into that first screen by holding down on power button while phone boots

im gonna search again so... i hope i don't brick my phone
If you are just wanting to boot Android from SD card, unless you seriously screw up by doing something should not be doing, you are not going to brick your HD2. Click on my guide in my sig to learn some about your HD2 and also make sure to go to the bottom of my guide which is the bottom of post #3 and read the warning about the radio versions you can not flash to the HD2 or you will brick it. PM me if you need to, but please read the stickie threads and the links to guides in the stickie roll up threads also. Ckeck out the "New to XDA?" link in my sig to learn how to get the most out of XDA. Happy hunting!

Just so you know it is not unusual for a SD card build to not boot all the way up on the first time around. But bit usually if you do a reset and try booting it again it boots. Look into getting yourself a dual boot app too, just go to HD2 Windows Mobile themes and apps and do a search for Dual Boot apps or something like that. Turning HTC Sense hels with running Android from SD and also booting Android with in the first 10 to 15 secounds after Windows Mobile boots up helps out to, this is to keep Windows Mobile from establishing a data connection.
If you can't boot download a daf and run daf through USB flasher in magldr

Not being a smart a** but you do realize the OP is talking about running Android from SD card and not NAND right?
At the OP you said you run Unbuntu so you migbt want to check this article out that was in the Portal and follow the dev that is working on it. He is working on a app to " Hot Boot Into Debian From Android in the HD2" I think you might be interested in this, it is a short video there as well.
hi
THANKS
i'll read that
im in mexico, which radio should i use? =S

thanks! i'm interested on that because im able to run android 2.3.3 from SD but when i use it runs smooth and fast but if i power off the screen and stay there for some time it freezes and need to remove the battery.. so would be nice if i can launch ubuntu from android so i would install in nand and launch ubuntu from it.
thanks i've just downloaded the apk from that tool and i'll try it on my HD2.
hi, i know i've asked so many things here, but i still confused,
i read about HD2 leos on here and search here for ROMS for my HD2 but they don't say anything clear.
i was thinking on upgrade it with the official tmobile rom 3.14 i enter my imei and it says it's compatible but, my cellphone it's unlocked, do u know if i upgrade it with the official tmobile update it will get locked again?
i want to upgrade with the official because i don't know if flash HSPL3 on my TMOUS 1024 HD2:
OS Version: 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
Manila Version: 2.5.20121412.2
ROM Version: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio Version: 2.10.50.26
and i notice that my battery doesn't last that much and i have wifi turned off... and want a better rom, if not a custom rom maybe the official upgrade but i want to know what about if my cellphone locks again to T-Mobile and i can't use it with my carrier.

A few questions

Hello everybody.
I am new to the board - well, to posting at least. I have been browsing for information for a while and with thanks to threads here, managed to root my hd2 successfully, but a few things are still not working for me properly, so I have a few questions
---
1. I had to ring a company earlier today, which was an automated service and upon them requesting I click a certain number to be redirected to where I wanted, I clicked and it had no impact on the call - they just said they did not recognize a request and continued to repeat the question.
So, does anybody know the setting I need to change to fix this?
---
2. I am in the UK and on my old phone, a blackberry (Don't worry, I have seen the light now!) I could get decent connection, even when not in an WiFi area, therefore using 3G. With the HD2 however, even by changing the radio settings in the *#*#4636#*#* I am never able to get a decent signal outside of a WiFi zone.
I am using the Radio from these forums. The Leo one with the exe being named RUU_CUSTOM. I will try and find it later.
Is the problem with the radio and I need a UK specific one? I have tried GSM (all variations) from the menu stated, which is out local frequency I believe, but with no success.
Or am I missing something else?
---
3. My Android ROM was made for a NEXUS ONE (The gingerbread one), so could this be causing the problems above?
I had to use this one because I could not find another one which would work using CWM.
I tried numerous and after installing, it would not load due to "Kernal Load Error" - so I had to settle on this one.
My partner is American and has an HD2 also, but her's is the American model, and she has no problem installing the mass of the ROM's available around these boards. Could the fact my model is the UK one, make any difference? I would not assume so, but it seems there is a difference somewhere.
Does anyone know the reason for these points?
I thank you all in advance for any help you provide.
-Luke
Radio 2.15.50.14 is the recommended radio for using Android. I'm not too sure about the UK, but I've used my American HD2 on both Tmobile and FarEasTone [ Taiwanese carrier] without any problems, so it *should* work for you too.
The Nexus One build is one of the best Stock Gingerbread ROMs available for the HD2. That shouldn't be the problem. I'm guessing the problem is you might be using the wrong radio. I recommend flashing back to stock WM 6.5 and starting fresh.
Also, there's tons of ROMs available for CWM! However, as you have the UK model, I suggest staying away from a Sense ROM, as they require an ext4 on your sdcard for your model, and that's always been laggy for me. Try MIUI, CM7, or stick with the Nexus build is my suggestion.
Hello EB, and thank you for your reply.

That would be the radio I am using. The folder for it is named Radio+Leo+2.15.50.14 on my computer.

I just looked at my phone and the ROM I am using is GRJ90 (NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.9 NAND), which I agree, works well other than these couple flaws, which are not necessarily related to the rom.

Ok, I am new to all of this and it took me multiple hours just to get android to run on this, but I did the NAND install, so I do not have the WM on my phone, even as a dual boot option.
I will perhaps try to find one though, should I not be able to find the answers anywhere else first

I did try the CM7 ROM (TyphooN_CM7_v3.7.0-cLK), but that came up with the kernal issue too. I did try a fair few more, but they all did the same until I come to the nexus, so I stuck with it.
May have to take your advice and start the process over again. *yikes*
Oh, okay, radio shouldn't be the problem then.
Do you have MADGLR or cLK bootloader installed? If you have MADGLR, than that may be the reason why that particular CM7 ROM isn't working, as you tried out the cLK version.

Dang it! I did not even notice that, but given I have only rooted one phone, surely I can be forgiven for this slip?
Thanks a bunch. Now I will go try another because you are right, I am using MADGLR.
Thanks again
You may want to look into hd2 toolkit. It makes task29, fashing and installing magldr, clk, and recovery extremly easy. I've had problems with the typhoon cm7 and would not recommend it. Try doing a task 29 and try clk instead of magldr. Clk uses ppp and magldr uses rmnet. Rmnet is haveing trouble but ppp is good. Try a more up to date gingerbread edition for clk and I think that will solve your problems.
The main difference between HD2 UK and American is the amount of internal storage. UK has 512 where Americn has 1024

Some of the Sense 3.0 ROMs have 720p recording. I don't specifically know which ones though.
Just look at a couple threads, the OP should say if 720p recording is supported.
