[q] rom finish but will not work

Ok so I wanted to change the ROM because the ROM that I had kept reseting the phone and freezing and so i decided to change but when I picked a ROM and loaded it, it will not start just stays on the start up screen. Any Ideas?

This happened to me awhile back, it was caused by a corrupt download. But it could be numerous things. Do you have a T-mobile US HD2? What ROM did you flash?
It could also be caused by flashing a ROM not designed for your phone. Thats how a lot of people get bricks. A little more info would help.

yes sir i have a TMO USA phone and i tried to use of KUMARS TMOUS C5 Premium.
So do you think that if I just Flash the phone with a ROM that works this will fix it?

First, make sure it wasn't just the task29 that you performed
Second, go into bootloader and try flashing Kumar's C5 again using a different method (from sd or activesync).
Third, try formatting your sd card to FAT32 if you're flashing from it.
If none of that works you can just try a different ROM or even a stock shipped ROM.

Yeah that exact same thing happened to me awhile back. I guess it was caused by a corrupt download or something of that sort. All i did was go into bootloader and flashed a different ROM from the SD that i know for a fact works. After that, you will be fine.
Just use Mskip's guide
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. If you flash a v2.01 or later Rom (with SPL2.*) you will NOT be able to reinstall HardSPL onto your device and could end up bricking it. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

So after you flash sometimes it will let you boot fully into the ROM? And everything works until it freezes again?

yes first boot up it goes fine, i test it out by doin 3 resets prob after the 3rd one it stops working it stays on the bootscreen for ages, then il do more resets and some times it will go through but after 10sec of being done it will freeze and have to repeat until it works again. this happens even when everything is on STOCK ive done task 29 flash via sd card through everything...

Did you try reformatting the SD card, or trying a different SD? I personally have never done a Task29 Via SD, not even sure of the process, though I do one via Active Sync before every flash. Sounds like a defect in hardware, if not the SD, then the phone. Hope the replacement solves your issues, else look closely at the SD card.

Ok so I am so confused, when I flash the phone am i supposed to leave the SD card in the phone? If I just went and bought a new SD card will this fix it. I flashed the phone with a ROM that works and it works for a few days and then freezes then I have to start all over. What do I do this sucks. Is anyone in the Austin texas area that can help me?

I had the same issue. Try loading an official WM6.5 rom. Dont task29. Then load magldr, then CWM them flash build of choice. you should be fine.
Let me know if it works for you please.

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.

[Q] Stuck on HTC Logo

Hi, been trying to get android on my HD2
things ive done:
all the things you need to do.(magldr etc)
Turned on the phone, selected AD Recovery
in CWM i select: install zip from SD
->Installation complete
->rebooting
Stuck at HTC logo
I have formatted my SD
I have tried another SD
I Have tried different roms
but the phone still hangs, what am i doing wrong?

same problem....any help??

I would say start over with task29 first. Then install the rest. If you still have the same problem, try re-downloading all you files and start over again. Just asking, did you flash hardspl 2.08 first?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

i bought the phone with hardspl 2.13 and windows phone 7 on it, but that is a RUBBISH OS if you are a dane!
What is task29?

Task29 removes all os software just like formating a hard drive. As for your hardspl, that might be a problem, if my memory is still there, you need to have hardspl 2.08. that seems to be the only version that works.

SD kernel open failed,,,,,, that's looking for boot source on the SD card, I believe you chose the wrong option.

Your device is fine.
First decide what rom you want on your device, then use HD2 Toolkit to "Repartition" your device for that rom.
Once you ahve done that simply put that rom on your SD card and flash after booting into recovery via magldr menu.

[Question] Stuck at boot...

Hello, I am stuck at my boot screen after installing HSPL, then MAGLDR, then Leo Radio and last ClockWorkRecovery for HD2.
Is my phone still savable as long as I can boot into my boot menu?
Not even sure what went wrong, did everything right but it didn't boot already after the: "We hacked it" or something.

So what i understand is that you installed HSPL 2.08, then MAGLDR 1.13, then you installed a Radio, what HD2 do you have and what radio did you get?

My radio is: "R 2.07.51.22_2".
The SPL was 1.42.0000, now it's SPL-2.08.

Do a Task29, reinstall hspl, install radio then magldr.
So yeah redo the steps but in this order

It works like a charm now!
Thank you so much!
One last question, though (if I'm allowed to ask?).
If I download this SD Rom, and put it on my SD Card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681906#2
And then go into CWRecovery -> Install .zip from SD Card -> Choose .zip from SD Card -> cm9_update_20120822.zip -> Yes - Install
This will happen:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EDIT: Same happens for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792680

To run a SD Rom you extract it onto the root of ur SD Card (take it out of the folder) then in magldr just choose to boot from SD card.
Please click on the thanks button if i helped

Thanks so much!
I thanked you in two posts!
Also, if I install a NAND Package using CWRecovery, it tells me it succesfully installed the package, but it still boots to MAGLDR when I boot up the phone...
...is there a way to fix that too?

Thank you
If you want it to automatically boot then go to options in magldr and select boot AD NAND, if not you can just select boot AD NAND in the magldr window.

It tells me there are no boot sources while it said:
"Installed succesfully"
"Please reboot"
EDIT: Also, when I wipe my cache or anything it tells me it can't find /misc/ or anything...
please, I am so confused..
And when I boot from SD (with SD Rom) it gets stuck at the very first loading screen and reboots...
Is something wrong with my phone?
(Also, I didn't redo all the steps, I just flashed the radio and it seems to work, do I need to redo every step still for it to work right?)

Did you partition your system and sd card?
If not look n the thread of where you found the rom and see what syste partion it needs.

Wait, could you maybe please add me on Skype?
nathan_frissen
I am really confused now. ;(

Ive added you, you still havent accepted

I had this issue once before, I realized it was because I didn't re-partition as I was meant to. Try downloading the HD2 Toolkit and double checking in the thread you downloaded the NAND from about the partition sizes and use the Toolkit to partition it.
Hope I helped mate
