[Q] Whats wrong with this HD2? Anyone else getting these problems? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Ok first and foremost...I have tried searching
I have been a lurker most of the time here on xda seeing as if I just search and read I'll get most of my answers, but not this time.
Ok some background info first:
TMOUS US HD2 1024Leo
Radio: I'm not 100% sure but I did a task29 that supposedly flashed 2.15.50.14
HSPL: 2.08
MAGLDR 1.13
I bought this phone about a year ago, flashed tytung's Nexus HD2 Gingerbread rom which worked flawlessly for about 10 months or so. One day the phone froze up, pulled battery then inserted and the rom reset to the point where it was like new. Around that time tytung's ICS AOSP thread came alive and I followed it closely watching the updates and what not.
I never installed it until Beta 10. Followed his instructions, set up the partition to 200MBs with a cache of 45MB...45MB for cache because I suspect I may have some bad NAND blocks. Anyways install went flawlessly, everything that was supposed to work, worked...ect ect
Used it for about 24hrs then all of a sudden it froze, when I rebooted I started getting all these random apps crashing(gapps[google apps?], Email, Google Login Services ect), needless to say I task29'd the HD2 and reinstalled everything, worked fine for a day then everything started crashing again.
So after all that info I'm just wondering if someone is experiencing the same problems and/or can maybe lead me in the right direction to figure out this problem.
I know its only a beta but I havent read many posts containing my problems. So Im just left wondering if my NAND is going bad completely and I need a new phone or if theres just something I'm doing wrong.

Before i begin - I have no experience with that Rom, these are just common general ideas.
1) as the rom starts well and then only after a day it breaks, maybe it is because of something (update) getting installed on your device. Have you tried fixing permissions after you encounter the problem?
Or try figuring out which update of which app does it.
2)It also might be the problem of the nand bad blocks, if you suspect it, but if thats the case, there is not really a lot you can do...

No offense, but that's the reason its beta. It doesn't have all the bugs worked out yet.
If you're looking for a daily driver, you should try something more stable.

Hi,
Not sure if you still have this problem..
Have you tried re-installing the ROM again or a different ROM to confirm if the issue is with your phone (hardware) or with the ROM (beta version)?

jumping to kernel

have a tmo us hd2
had a past version of android with sense it worked fine. tried a different and got the pause at jumping to kernel so tried a clean version, it worked. ive booted it plenty of times, then tonight it stopped working
so im trying froyostone with sense and now it wont boot either
im on omega v7 newest and radio 2.1.5.28_2
I was on the same problem, i think you have the android files directly on your SD Card? So that is the problem, put them in a new folder android.
That helps me, the first boot was by me also possible, but after that all reboots end in "jumping to kernel"
nope. theyre in the android folder.
and i just tried switching to the 2.12 radio
the strangest part is that is was working the past few days and earlier today...
id understand a certain build not working but why would it randomly stop working.
Have you made, since this problem more reboots. I have on my HD2 sometimes that i must boot 2-3 times to come up
yup, tried multiple reboots and both radios
have you solved a problem? I've similar problem. Each time I turn on the phone - I'm getting this error. Sometimes it helps to remove "cache' folder and some others and restart twice or may be 3 times. But no working 100% solution.
My Results
ppp vr.
Market ok
WIFI ok
BT ok
whitout freezes
little bit more sensitive touch screen
Very good job, DEV team you are masters
When I'm getting stuck at jump to kernel, I normally remove and reinsert the sd card when I booted into WM and most of the time that fixes it.
I (and other members) have found that "Jumping to kernel..." freeze occurs when one is using Windows for a period of time. The solution is usually to re-boot and once Windows loads *immediately* boot into Android. This has not failed me yet! Before I was like you, wondering why sometimes I get the freeze and other times I don't...but a fresh boot into Android solved my issue.
Hope this helps.
have you changed the kernal lately or switched any file , or renamed anything
have you tried changing the startup.txt file? look around for that solution..it has been posted here many times.
I would give you a link but I am posting from my cell so it would be a little difficult.

[Q] hd2 hangs when gets warm - might it be caused by rom update and how to fix it?

Hello All,
I have an HTC HD2 (TMOUS) that hangs once it gets warm. I got it a couple of days ago. The first thing I tried to do was to update the rom (there was an old stock rom) to the latest version from t-mobile. But when I tried to do that the update process failed at 8% with "error[262] update error". I tried to flash it again, but got the same result.
I tried both the approaches: to flash via usb and via SD card, but the results were the same. Flashing via SD card gave me "RSA fail" error. I have found some related info, but that is not the case since I could flash the radio later. Also I've noticed that after a couple of iterations the phone were vibrating 7 times during the rom update process. Some guys are telling that it could be a motherboard issue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797179 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826119).
Today I tried to update rom again and got it successfull. But the phone has hanged on botting. Taking into account that the phone has been turned off for the whole night I decided to try to put it into a cool place. I put it to the balcony for 5 minutes and the turned it on again. It has loaded successfully and I was able to test wifi and to make a couple of calls. But after some time when it has got warm it hanged.
I have found that some guys had the same problem but couldn't fix it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701349).
It seems to me now that this is a hardware issue (maybe with the internal flash memory module).
Was anybody able to fix the isssue?
Could this problem be caused by my attempts to flash?
Thanks in advance.
Guys,
I'm kindly asking to share your thoughs on any of the questions. It is very important for me since I don't know whether it is my fault or the phone was already damaged.
The rom I tried to flash was a stock rom and the flashing process hasn't been interrupted.
Thank you!
had this issue and indeed it was the motherboard so i had to send it back to htc.
good luck.

Before you go trying to replace the mother board or any hardware such as that. I suggest you run a task 29 on your HD2 and reflash the stock ROM. A task 29 totally wipes the current ROM on the HD2 so if it is a problem from you trying so many timez to flash the ROM this will clear that up. Here is a link to the task 29 thread so you can learn more and decide if you want to do it or not.
Thank you for your replies!

Yes, that's a useful tool, but I'm afraid that I might damage the existing rom and will not be able to flash it agian. Also it requires to flash HSPL before which also potentially might brick the device ( I mean the flashing process).

So it was a factory defect, wasn't it?
If I did something wrong during the stock rom flashing process, could be the reason of the problem?
Thank you.
After reading forums it seems to me that the issue appears mostly for T-Mobile US version..
If it is a hardware problem, does anybody know what part of hardware is damaged?
Thanks!

[Q] HD2 Freeze on data connection

Hi! I tried some Android Nand Roms on my HD2 and always got the same problem. Always I turn on my mobile data connection the phone freezes completely and I've got to pull out the battery. On Wifi everything works fine but I really have no idea what's the problem.
Ive installed HSPL 2.08 SPL 2.08 and the newest Radio version.
Can someone help me please? I allready searched the inet for infos but couldn't find anything.
What ROM are you trying? One thing is to make sure you are using the correct partition size, this is known to cause a lot of problems. For instance, if you're trying a Sense rom, you're going to need a larger partition for the build.
MIUI
I'm using the MIUI FutureShocks Rom Version 1.4.29 German
Android Version 2.3.3
Kernel 2.6.32.15_r9-gd0fb339tytung
I have no Sense and the partition size is 1024 MB
I'm assuming you're flashing with CWM?
CWM
Yes with CWM!
When you installed CWM which partition did you install... for instance, a common one is 150mb.... You may have flashed a CWM with too small of a partition for the MIUI build...
I gonna check this right now thanks for your help!
So... I tried to flash with a different partition size but it doesn't help anything.Still freezes after some seconds surfing with mobile data internet. On Wifi works great.

Did you found a solution? I'm having exactly the same problem, everytime I switch on the data the phone just hangs and freezes..
Thanks in advance
Me = this problem too, and as i been repeating for months:
1: Don't listen to muppets that say "do a task 29" - coz they think task 29 cures cancer!!!!!
2: Do a search just on XDA HD2 section and you will find literally HUNDREDS of people with this problem.
3: Do a google search for Android data freeze and you will literally find tens of thousands of people with this problem.
4: It will NEVER EVER be solved on the HD2....hence why, when i get some cash, i'm going to throw my phone against the wall and film a youtube video of me doing it....then buy something decent.
PS: task29 does not CURE THE WORLD OF EVERYTHING!!!!
Matt
Well, at least It's not only me, I'm complaining for awhile, never happened to me using direct SD builds, it usually happens when I port a nand build to SD, for now only happening with nand builds, what radio do you have?
Thanks for reply mate..

Sorry for digging the old post, but I think my experience may help
I've met the same problem recently, but let's start from the beginning, and the situation below is sorted by time:
Camcorder white screen
taking pictures freeze
when charging, navigation app freeze easily
play jewel star more than 30 mins freeze
Turn on data connection, can not last than 1 mins, freeze
After freeze, pull out batt and back on, Magldr freeze on "Go GO GO" sometimes
When entering System, freeze
The problem is getting worse, and I almost give up my HD2. I've done every softeware solution , but can not get any good result. So, I put my HD2 to the ShenZhen(China) mobile repair technician, and got the Qualcomm 8250 CPU replaced. Then, re-install my energy rom, and all problems are gone, like a whole new phone, without any freeze.
My phone is TMOUS, and the production date is 2010/JUN. I've dropped my phone on the ground for once or twice, which the technician think the main reason for CPU broken. No matter what, my HD2 is rebirth now.

[Q] Help would be appreciated.

I recently received a new HD2 i the mail (wore out the hard keys on my last one ) and i quickly proceeded to remove winmo ASAP. The same way I've done a thousand times. Android (sense of eclipse) finally boots and every time i try to download an app it says the download has failed. EVERY TIME! I've tried re flashing the rom numerous times, re flashing cwm, magldr, task29 all with the same outcome. I also tried 3 diffferent sd cards and formatted 2 of them. This is a rom that was working fine on my old phone and i even tried a different rom (typhoon cm7) with exactly the same problem. I've had andoid on my phon since the sd days so i'm not really new at all this, but I'm not an expert so if somebody thinks this sounds familiar please help. Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I can't say I've had problems with every downloaded app,but certainly a few.
As you can see from my sig,I'm using the same ROM.
If any app failed to download,I just repeated the process several times,and it evetually took.
The other thing I tried,was switching from wi-fi to data,or vice-versa.Then it worked.
thanks for the reply
I've tried WiFi and on edge. used the WiFi for a long time so i know its not that, and the browsing works fine.hmmm

Hi,
What I meant was,if it didn't download on wi-fi,try downloading it on data.
Unexplained
Ok, so I used winmo for the entire day yesterday. Then this morning I tried flashing android one more time just for the heck of it. For no apparent reason it's working fine, apps downloading and installing perfectly. Now I'm afraid to flash any different roms, worried it might happen again. I did everything the same as always so I'm not sure what was wrong be fore or if it'll happen again. Hmmmm...
It is a common problem. You need to make sure that you set up / login to the gmail account before trying the market. The solution I received is quoted at the bottom of this post.
Here is the solution given to me when I couldn't download from the android market. I went from a working SD Android version to the next version (when the market wouldn't download). The only difference was that I had set up the gmail account then went onto the market with the first version but went straight onto the market with the next version and then logged onto gmail.

To fix it you go into Settings/Applications/manage applications/all and click on the following:
Google Backup Transport - then click clear data
Google Partner Set Up - then click clear data
Google Services Framework - then click clear data
Market - clear data
Reboot the phone, and Market should then work
Make sure you add your gmail account 1st before attempt to use the market

Thanks for the reply
Thanks for your input. I am having trouble figuring out what was wrong and what fixed it. I know that's not the issue here because the I would try apps in "my apps" (meaning I was signed in) in the market and also ones I've never downloaded before. Also maybe its gierbread or just the two roms I was on but I couldn't even open the market till I signed in with Google. I know cause after flashing a million times I was anxious to try the market quickly and forgot to sign in. It would then re direct me to the Google sign in. Strange

blackSideSeven v2.05.7592 installing problem

Hy everyone;
Because i am not allowed to post in the development forum i had to post my problem here...
I had the "HD2O© v1.14 WP7 BUILD 7.0.7392.0 NODO" ROM and now want to flash "blackSideSeven v2.05.7592".
I execute the "Task29" Utility. And made a HardReset.
Then i installed the Mango ROM like i did it by HD2O before in the MAGLDR.
But now the problem is that only the HTC Screen appears and nothing else.
I also installed it a second time, same problem...
What can i do?
EDIT: Now i flashed HD2O again and it works perfect.
So, only blacksideseven not works...
_______________________
i know...bad english^^
I had the same problem with the latest XBmod ROM. After installation it just stops in the HTC screen.
I also didnt get help so far...
Did you try another Mango ROM?
Maybe you take out your SDCard, format it with some proper format tool to make it clean.
then you reformat the fone with task29.
then you try again.
its also 2.06 out now. try that.
I can just say for myself that I only tried the XBmod ROM. I did Task29 etc... SDFormatter... nothing!
I dont have a SD Card in my HD2
I do find it kind of odd that I'm unable to flash mango again. It all started when I decided to flash blacksideseven 2.06 rom from elfinlazz mango, which has been working. I've always been able to flash WP7 without ever having to do task29. Well, in the process of flashing blacksideseven I had a problem as it was throwing an error everytime it reached part.004. I tried it two more times with the same result. Then I moved to a different port and successful on the second attempt. It never worked as either it was caught in a boot cycle or it was just freeze at the HTC screen. I decided to do task29 and reflash magldr and the rom again but still can not get in. I tried elfinlazz rom again and then Yuki's but still no luck. Changed SD cards and nada! So as of right now I'm currently starting everything back from scratch by doing task29 and then magldr and stock 6.5 and then back to mango to see what happens.
P.S. As I'm writing 6.5 started up with no problems! Need to charge the phone because I've been at this since last night. I hate this!
Edit: It worked. But, you know what? I think I'm staying with 6.5 now. I mean WP7 was fun for me for 6 months that it was on my phone from dft original all the way up to mango beta 1. I found myself using my android side more often than WP7 every since Mango because I needed something reliable as WP7 mango had issues due to its beta stage. Not even 20 minutes passed before my WP7 got a no sim error! I thought I needed to restart it anyways and on the subsequent boot up it rebooted 5 times before it got stuck on the htc screen for 35 minutes. Another manual reboot worked but 20 minutes later it just went to no sim error again, so I decided i'm not gonna take this headache anymore! Elfinlazz rom previous was good but there were certain things I needed like data that didn't work 100% of the time. Again, it was fun. I believe I may go back some day. Hopefully somebody will work out the SD card issue because I believe this is the main problem I have with WP7. Maybe some workaround in the future. Good luck guys!
Now i have installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157535 and it works without problems...
Thats the ROM I had before trying to flash Blacksideseven. It was fine for a few days and then after that the data stopped working regularly. Then about a few days ago data disappeared entirely! That is what prompted me to try a different ROM. Now I'm stuck back with 6.5. Eww! Now it reminds me of how clunky this OS is. Been on it for few hours and I'm missing my WP7 already! Thank god I still have my android.
