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:

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.
http://www.multiupload.com/WD83QRSA99
Download that and and flash this Clockworkmod file.
http://www.multiupload.com/LVBWUM9L28
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?
ok so i tried to put rafdroid on my phone (link below):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528
I have tmobile HD2 running gingerbread 2.3.2. When I tried following the instructions and formatting/partitioning the SD card, my phone wouldnt work. i have clockworkmod recovery on my phone and i used it to install the rom zip file. it got to the screen where it has a picture of android and says dafdroid by dafpigna and stayed there for well over the initial startup time (over 20 min). I tried installing the dafdroid kernel as well (thru clockworkmod) and its still doing the same thing. when i tried formatting the sd card to anything other than quick format it wouldnt work and it wouldnt complete partitioning through the computer it would only work through clockworkmod on my phone. i tried to flash to another rom and even back to windows and it kept giving me an error message about some rampi.dll (something like that) isnt there.
please help! i cant use my phone at all! i have a 500 dollar paperweight
Hi,
Need a bit more information.
Can you still boot into magldr (holding down power button after switching on?)
What operating system are you running on your pc/laptop?
How far did you get when you were fomatting your sd card?
i find it quite common that an android rom wont complete the first boot after flash. mostly, pulling teh battery and booting again solves it.
Its also far more common when you didnt wipe the partitions from the previous rom first. (CWM, wipe data/factory reset, you can later use cwm - advanced restore - and just restore data and sd-ext to get your data and apps from teh previous rom back)
Partitioning, could be a dodgy sd card, no suggestions
rampi.dll - was it rapi.dll? update activesync to latest version.
I have an issue cannot install larger nand roms onto my phone previous roms worked tried various typhon cm7 roms, various miui roms both magldr and clk roms does not matter used task29 increased cwm size from 150 up to 250 and boot just hangs. Noticed roms larger than 90 MB zipped does not work at all they install but just hangs on boot
Hi I'm having a boot problem with TBD runnymede 3.5.
It won't boot it just keeps at the TBD boot screen I have tried both 1gb ext partition and 2 gb with 0 swap. I have flashed it crazy untill now. Idk maybe i'm forgetting something... Why can't i find a manual
I am using magdlr and cwm to get it working but got no where so far.
First i flash, then i partition then i put the rom on the fat32 partition using a sd card reader. Then I install the rom.
Are you sure you have flashed the correct partition size and downloaded the correct rom for your device (cLK or MAG) ?
Yes i am trying another rom as we speak and it seems this one is working
Yup i installed another runnymede sense 3.5 rom and this one worked perfectly so im keeping this one haha so that's a big thanks to Mikhei777 this was the rom that worked for me:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298188
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?
Could be you looked over it

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!
Gave all of you a thumbs up! you deserve it
Same Problem
how to change the partition?? plz help, I am total noob... I am also struck at the green HTC logo in the middle
i suggest you use the HD2 NAND TOOLKIT
it has everything you need in a single app... google it "HD2 NAND Toolkit"
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda premium
You should check your recovery partition.
Well the title says it all, I've tried the ROMs past V55 and they all stuck on the logo screen. Tried now ICS ROM and doesn't go past logo. I've done Task 29 and cleared every cache and format the SD and put best radio version. Nothing. help....
Did you use the right partition size? That sounds like the problem to me.
Perhaps I don't really know how to partition. I've used the 400mb recovery and partitioned a 1024mb sd folder under the add-recovery->advanced->Partition SD Card
they demanded above 180, which does raise some eyebrows.
Hd2 toolkit is ur friend.
U can task 29
Repartition
Flash
Good luck
