initrd open failed - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi all,
i installed this but while booting from SD, MAGLDR is just saying "initrd open failed" in red font color. Then 123456... The Display looks crazy

First unzip the downloaded initrd.gz and after that replace the file.
Have fun!

Hi Marek, can you be a bit more precise with your question?
MAGLDR is looking for two files to boot android, initrd.gz and zImage. You can tell it where to look for these files on your sd card by using 10. services / 1. bootsettings / 3. ad sd dir/ and selecting the folder where these files are located from the list.
Hope this helps

Its on d internet...try searching beginning with d thread which contains d build u wish 2 run on ur device. .
Maybe your are wondering why you don't see this file when you download and extract a given build ?
Thats because some builds will automatically create this data.img file during the first boot, and this is one reason the first boot takes a very long time usually.
However, some other builds will provide a pre-initialized data.img as a separate file to download (usually a zip file), and you have to manually place it (after unzip) in the appropriate location, and this has to be done before the first boot.
Thus, finally, this data.img file should be directly under the Android folder of your SD card, the very same directory where you have the clrcad.exe and haret.exe.
At least this applies for SD builds, for NAND builds I don't know if this has changed.

[Q] Quick and Noobish question(Yes I have searched)

Ok this pertains to the ROM builds for MAGLDRv1.13 with CMW. When i downloaded this rom >this ROM it came in as a .JAR file. Now where do I go from there? I have tried putting it inside the SD card through USB MassStg but nothing And I do apologize if this has been asked but I've been trying to fix this for the past 4 hours.

Hi,
not sure why it downloads as a .jar file,but try:
Rename the .jar file to have a .zip extension (if your download program does not recognize .jar files)
If its a MAGLDR install then extract file to folder on PC. Connect phone using USB and select USB flasher in MAGLDR options. Then for that particular rom then run the file called DAF.exe.
if you have a jar file, you must have clicked the wrong link. it will be (and ive just checked) a zip file.
i suspect you want this link

HTA HD2 Stuck on MAGLDR Screen and Recovery don't work

Hi Guys,
I have created this video trying to explain myself what was going on with my phone. Please someone help me to fix this.
just add youtube dot com/ (with the back slash) before the following link. Sorry since I'm new here it won't allow me to post any links.
watch?v=x8kIBi8NVsE
Problems are:
1. Not booting to Android Cyanogen
2. Stuck on MAGLDR Screen
3. Recovery (Vol down + Power button ) don't work.
4. Not connecting to activesync (Windows 7)
Thank you. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Same problem, the only thing i get to work is WP7.
I want to install Android and there is no colored Bootloader and the USB-Flasher in MAGLDR isnt helpful for flashing something except WP7.
And when im using the toolkit the drivers (can be downloaded through the Toolkit) arent woking.
Thanks in advance ;-)

Hi,
It's worth trying to download an official ROM from T-Mobile and
Change the .exe to .zip and
Extract with winrar or 7z the RUU_Leo_HTC_****************************_Ship.zip
find the larger *.nbh file and rename it to leoimg.nbh and place this file on an sd card that is 4gb or less.
Then try to boot that from 2. Boot AD SD in magldr.

Okay I've done as you told and didn't work. It's saying SD kernal open failed. Do I have delete whatever I have in the SD card and just place only this file?
This wont work because the phone seeks an android-install not a winmo 6.5 stock-rom,
Sorry mate
Im seeking for solution for this problem 3 days now and the only thing that could work is an winmo installation on sd

The problem is that theire working on it but i dont know if it comes or when it comes to our phones, at the moment there is no solution to fix this,
by the way i have experienced that most of dft-roms and tools are working with usb-flasher mode in magldr, so we have to find someone who could modify a winmo rom to flash with daw.exe

Hey,
Did you extracted the installation file out of the downloaded zip file?
Inside the downloaded file there is a archive file again (forgot what format), this file you have to extract out and copy that file onto your archos
Good luck!

Yes , thats the thing I did , file named UrukDroid-install.tgz copied to the device like it written in the installation procedure ....no need to unzip that one also
Try to download this file:
http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.0/EI/UrukDroid-install.tgz
It is directly and no need to extract any more.. maybe your archive manager does something wrong..

Maybe tjeres something wrong with the kernel
Download the zImage and the initramfs as single files from here:
http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.0/EI/
Then flash the kernel again, like you did it before (via the recovery menu)
After try the installation with the as single file downloaded installation file

Lenn, this is different , another problem ...after flashing the kernel with the "let's say " new files , what is going fast then going into the developer menu ..archos needs to reboot in that menu and I should get UrukDroid 1.0 Installation framework and select simple installation ..but does not get to that boot ....the original archos kernel completely starts up .
Let me know tomorrow ....we need some sleep being busy with this whole day
I wanted to thank you for the given support for now ..hope someone will know the answer

Maybe your disk has a failure... try to completly wipe your archos again install the newest archos firmware directly after the update and try it again...
Sorry, i think but i dont see any solution yet...

recap
Flash initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage from SDE boot menu is working fine
after going into
Boot to SDE:
power on (2) Archos, hold up/+ volume key (1) until you see "Archos AXXXX - Boot Menu",
choose "Developer edition" is also working
You should see "UrukDroid 1.0 Installation framework" title. Please choose simple install method. is working well
When asked to, connect Archos to PC (5) once again and copy UrukDroid-install.tgz,
This step is working...transfert can be done
disconnect Archos from PC properly (umount, safely remove device etc.) and press power button (2)
at this point the device saying that there is an invalid file
Try it with advanced install
Choose the recommended values (on the top) but also select that you want to format the partitions and create new ones

lenn, did the advanced install , on SD , 512 rootfs ,and 1.5 g for data
Format of all partitions went ok , the transfer of the 140,3 meg file to install ok until the step to press power button once to start the install ..again the invalid file error message
just thinking could it be something with the sd card ?

Yes, the Bootloader (pink screen) default file system is FAT32.
In case you lost the bootloader contents, just create a folder called "image" and copy the following files to that:
EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a
AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v

It is required, but in that folder the stock Rom usually backs-up critical stuff... don't delete it or anything!
If you don't have that folder, it's not a tragedy, because a fresh install of a stock Rom will create that folder for you.

Do not delete that folder! I wouldn't touch that just for fun...Leave it there, it won't affect your Roms in anyway.
The fact that you can restore Oxygen doesn't have anything with that folder. Your backups for Oxygen etc are on the SD card.
I personally think that some relevant info used by all Roms is actually located there, so I wouldn't delete that folder just for fun.

Now I remember, when I made a backup or restore there are the files /data /system etc. and also /cust. It's important.
