Issues with Extended Battery on Froyo builds ie.. does not work

Hi guys...
I've run into a bit of an issue when trying to boot the latest and greatest Froyo builds on here...
done everything as required (all works fine on 2.1 builds)
however...
it creates the datastore fine... no problem...
goes to HTC white boot screen,
then
Android animated screen...
and then a brief glimpse of a locked Sense screen, and it then vibrates and subsequently shuts down.. (not reboot just shut down)
any ideas guys it's driving me potty..
I have a clean class 2 16 Gb micro SD card
and as i said the 2.1 builds work fine..
I have now changed the topic to discuss trying to resolve the extended battery issue

I had issues with my 16GB SD Card. I switched to a 2GB one and didn't seem to encounter any problems.

Did you delete all the Android files you had before? It could be that any different file you overwrite or replace could interfere.
And second, why make a new thread for this? This easily couldve been posted here in the HD2 Linux/Android Q&A Thread - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!! thread
See where i'm getting at?
THis way you get an answer, but the forum also stays clean and crisp without 2-3 reply threads.

apologies...
an update though.I have used a formatted 2 gig card.. nothing else on there and still nothing...
the radio is fine... so I am very confused...

Hi nutmegy
I have the very same problem. Tried to format sd, to install other roms, anything, and I cannot find a solution.
What rom/radio are you using?
Let´s find a pattern....
cheers,
Yeyes

using 2.10.50.26

Ok, I was using 2.10, and changed to 2.12, and nothing changed.
What rom do you have?
I had BSB Beast 5, and today I changed to Miri but still doesn´t work.

sorry, I didn´t see your avatar with the rom.
I tried with a 2 gb sd card and with a 8 gb sd card. No way

mmmmmm what rom to use...

someone mentioned a de fragment worked for them maybe you should try it

yea tried that.. anyway a freshly formatted sd card should do surely????!!!

I have the same issues
2.1 runs ok
2.2 does boot but just shuts down 5-10 seconds after lockscreen, tried different kernels and differend builds, formatted sd a few times, tried different radio's
Euro HD2, no simlock
SPL: 2.08 HSPL3
ROM: Stock 1.66 dutch
Radio: 2.10.50.26

at least I'm not the only one lol.

I have a 16 GB card and everything works very well !!! I use winmo miri roms 17.6 if it can help.

already tried that rom too... I dunno...

i've had same situation here. I couldn't boot any Froyo build (2.1 was fine though) with artemis build and 2.50.xx build, because my phone was switching off just after "welcome" screen. I've been trying to figure out what was the problem for past couple of days, i've been trying everything, and than...
I've switched my battery, from extended HTC HD2 battery (2400 mAh) into regular, stock 1230 mAh and.. surprisingly it worked.
I don't have any problems with any froyo build since then.
cheers

You are putting the Froyo builds in a FOLDER on the ROOT of the SD card correct? Froyo is the only one you run from a folder. The other builds go no folder, root of sd. Might also try dual boot cab or a higher class SD card. Im running Class 10 - 8GB, Miri V17.6 Lite, Radio 2.12.50.02_2, not one prob.

mmmmmm I am using the extended battery... will try that with standard.... bizarre

Ah...have the same problem, and guess what...I use the official HD Extended Battery!!!
Well spotted that man...at work now but will try standard battery this weekend.
...might be too early for assumptions but a pattern emerging...

it's a shame it doesn't work on the extended battery especially since it drains the battery so much.... mmmmmmmmmmmm

does winmo keep a memory of android builds?

it seems that every time i install a new andro build i get more and more issues.
im running chunkyrom with 2.12.50 radio
my first rom was froyostone 1 it ran perfect no issues at all
i installed the HDfroyo and started having the typical andro issues
then i tried mattc leo and it was overall great build but i had even more issues and not as stable as froyostone1
2 days ago installed froyostone 2 and having a very unpleasant experience with it crashing restarting lagging thewifi and mms and lock screen lagging etc.
note that first froyostone was installed on a card that i didnt even touch.
all the files from blackberry phone were still on it i only ran an error check in windows.
for mattc i completely cleared out the sd card formatted and ran an error check.
and started having issues.
is formatting under PC windows and formatting from winmo makes any difference?
im puzzled why im having more and more issues,
it almost seems like the winmo keeps getting more and more corrupted by the android builds or something like that..

HaRET closes WinMo and modules completely then starts Android... so dont think so..
Anyway a dev can give u a good insight and help you better.
Good Luck

I think that you will find that the only references to past builds will be on the actual SD card used, which is why a complete format of that card is recommended. On the root of the card will be folders created by your Android installation, some begin with a full-stop, e.g.: .Mail, .footprints, but there are others that do not follow that convention. If you do not want to do a complete format of the SD card, you may want to do a screen shot of the card prior to install, so that you can compare before and after, then before a new subsequent Android installation, delete the new files and folders created.
Some people are experiencing the problems you describe with this PPP version, but the Dev was aware of this and has posted a fix,so it may be better for you to try the RMNET rootfs. Hope this helps.

[Q] Major troubles

ive got an htc hd2 leo im running the droid rom radio 2.15, for a bout a week now i cannot get any android build to run on my fone ive done a full format, full memory wipe on my fone put android folder on sd card clicked the 2 buttons, my screen launches into the green htc screen and just stays there, ive had this problem now for everybuild ive tried, i was thinking mabye me sd card if fried can anyone help please, im using shubcraft 2.0 rom

try using chuckydroid windows mobile rom. This one includes an android auto boot prog.

and it will sit on the htc screen for a good few min. just leave it for about 15 min. and see what happens. if it's your first time loading the build it has to build the data.img

Is there ONE sd build that works with MAGLDR?

I been trying to just load android one time with MAGLDR 1.12,
I've tried all the recommendations, and I can't get one to boot. The Desire Z v.2.1 and 2.2.
SuperRAM with and wtihout letama's initgz
Nexus HD2 with and without the modification in the "how to boot android on sd..." thread
I just want one android build that I can boot, I don't understand. It either freezes @ startup of lockscreen, or just green HTC forever, or stuck @ gogogo or something.
does anyone have a version that works and can they just zip up what they have and upload it (prefer an aosp or CM build, superram would be sweet) so I can just extract to root and boot up with the same configuration or something?
willing to try anything, I've got WP7 working perfect and 10 free gigs on the SD card on fat32 (the other 5 go to WP7 partition).
any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Why wont my HD2 Accept ANYTHING?

Hi,
I have been on this forum for the past 2-3 days trying to get android on my gf's HD2 and it just wont have it.
I have tried MCCM's HD v4 Desire one
I have tried Froyo 1.5
I have tried DL Desire Series, both SD and MAGLAR.
The ones where you click CLRCAD.exe then haret.exe either say it doesent have certificates to run or parts are missing. Or it goes to a black scree and gets stuck on "Jumping To Kernel" and it stays like that for ages (tested for 1 hour, never budged)
The DL desire series via MAGLAR wont work either, I need HSPL (sp?) to install MAGLAR but HSPL keeps reporting back that the file Rapi.dll is missing.
My SPL version is 1.42**** so technically thats right ( from what I have read )
I have tried formatting the SD card via PC and device, also tried a factory reset and an additional 2 other SD cards. Still nada.
What else can it be? Someone mentioned the radio but there is so many questions being asked in a specific thread that mine gets lost and since this is more of a global issue I thought a thread of its own is deserved
I really want this and will go to any length to get it ( not keen on ROM flashing thought, would like to avoid turning the handset into a hammer rather than a phone)
Hope I havent busted any rules
Cheers,
Gib

You need radio 2.14 or more for Android.
aka, upgrade your ROM.

You are not alone
You are not alone here.
I have been having this problem too, I get stuck on the HTC white screen. though I haven't tried much ROM but I have tried formating and reflahing of my WM ROM.
I once did a stock ROM official update with: (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2 .15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship)
ever since I have not been able to find how to flash using SPL, I have been flashing using SSPL_RU and my radio is 2.15.50.14.
Could this reason be the problem.
I need help please I want to have a feel of droid.

Know the feeling
I have been trying all the different android magldr sd roms and everytime its the same story. First boot fine. Second boot and on it just hangs at the green htc logo. I have tried so many things i don't know what to do next.

Have you tried one of the Energy ROM's? I found on my unlocked HD2 that these were the only roms (going back a while now) that I could get Android running off an SD card. I've since heard that there is a basically blank rom for people who want to run nothing but android. It's a small rom, only about 30mb.
It's in a few places around the board. I can't remember what the name of that one is off the top of my head, but any of the Energy series, or the Miri ROM's apparently work too.
Good luck!

Solution!
Instructions :
- Download the Android SD version of your choice. Unzip, Extract the 'Android' folder to root of your SD Card. (Make sure to Format the SD card before doing this.)
- After you have done all steps go into Android folder and tap CLRCAD (for working sound), and after that just tap HaRET
-Booting ..
-Enjoy

Ater trying some nand roms i came back to the orignal firmware( the same as you).
And i also have this problem , it just load into a picture with htc on it.

Have you tried using a different SD card? My Sandisk 8gb didn't accept anything. I had an old 512mb laying around that came with my E90, loaded SuperRAM on it (aprox 450mb including data.img) and it booted straight away.

2.15.50.* is the right radio for most SD builds, make sure you have enough free space on SD. most builds have at least 512mb if not 1gb data.img which gets created when first boot. If runs out of space it will get stuck on boot screen. No hspl required with 3.14 HTC winmo rom

I also try to get Android in my HD2 (energy ROM). I am somewhat puzzled however: I want to flick back and forth between WM and Android and many programs I have reside onto my SD card. I have read in an earlier post that before attempting Android I should format my card - does this mean that I cannot have WM data (programs etc) in the same SD card I run android? or that I can transfer them back AFTER I manage (if) to load Android?. Thank you

The SD card has to be formatted in FAT32. Just to make sure the card is clean I copy all my data to my pc, format the card and transfer it all back.

OK thank you - got it!

Unfortunately I cannot get passed the green HTC splash screen - my HD2 stays there for time no end and the only solution is to take battery out. Any suggestions?

Assuming you've got everything set up properly (right radio, hspl, ...) which you can find on the Android forum. I think you'll have to try using a different brand of sd card. Some cards simply don't play nice with Android.

Got uber annoyed with the SD method, just ended up doing a full scale flash to ROM. Was easier lol

I am using Energy ROM (Energy Serie: Energy.Leo.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.12)
My phone just hangs on the white HTC screen when I try to boot into Android from the SD card. I flashed my ROM with SSPL_RU after an update with the Stock ROM (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship)

ehh

I would almost agree with that except, i have 2 exactly the same 16 gb cards, each with a 3 gb fat32 primary partition. 1 loads android but wont allow me to do things like take pictures[it says there isn't an sd card.] The second card just hangs at the green htc screen. Even if I copy the working partition to the other card, it still hangs.

Thanks for this Info. I didn't take into consideration that the file will be enlarged during booting. The copied Android folder was 508MB in size but this got enlarged to about 1.3GB during boot up. I thought if I just leave about 1.2GB in all the SD card I have been trying that it should be enough. But I was wrong.
Thanks a lot I have done multiple reboot without any problem.
I am enjoying my first Android feel.
Thanks once again.

Android on HD2 hates most SD Cards
From my own limited experience to also having read many posts I can say that most sd cards prevent Android from running properly on the hd2. Mine works fine with radio 2.14/2.15 and the stock Sandisk 16gb card that came with my tmous hd2, but I recently tried a wintec 16gb card that made Android run like a broke-wheel-cart and other sd cards I have laying around make it fail.
I think everyone needs to add what card they are using to their signature, or else we might all just end up howling in the wind.
Based on some feedback from another post I just ordered this Sandisk 16gb card from Newegg. It is Model # SDSDQ-016G-A11M . It is reported that that model# provides class10 speeds even though it is sold as a class2. It's use with Android is supposed to be good.
