Opinionated HTC HD2 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hello everyone.
Two days ago a friend of me asked if I could install Android on his "new" HTC HD2.
As I installed Android on serval HD2's I said yes, no problem at all.
But once he came to my house and I started working on it only trouble is what came to me.
The HD2 was stock so Windows Mobile was running on it.
I install HSPL4 , no problem.
Flashed the radio, no problem.
Installed cLK, no problem.
Installed recovery : PROBLEM.
The trouble started from there.
The phone did not reboot, even tough it said "rebooting phone"
So what I did is unplug the phone, Task29'd it and did everything over again.
Than, I got an error on the radio installation.
The phone rebooted and when I got to the tri colour screen I was shocked.
It said some kind of "error rom update failed"
After this nothing worked, installing a Radio failed, installing the stock firmware downloaded from HTC failed etc.
Only flashing HSPL4 and Task29 worked, so I tought I was screwed.
I readed many many threads and somewere I got to the "Chill in fridge trick"
So I putted the phone in the freezer for 10minutes, copied the nbh file from the stock Windows Mobile rom to the SD Card and TADAAA! It worked!
So, here I was, back on Windows Mobile, trying again! to install Android.
As long as I kept the phone cold everything worked, also installing cLK and Clockworkmod.
But now here the thing is: Installing and running Cyanogemod is no problem at all, Cyanogenmod boots and run fine.
But when I want to install a sense rom, it works as long as the phone is cold.
When the phone gets to normal temps it stops responding and tries to reboot.
It stays stuck on the boot, and I have to put it in the freezer again to make it work.
This problem only occures with a sense rom!!
Windows Mobile rom doe snot have any problems, also Cyanogenmod does not have any problems.
The phone does still have warranty, but as the phone does not have problem with Windows Mobile I don't think I can send it to HTC for repair, as I think this is a hardware problem.
Does any of you know what I could do in this kind of situation?
Thanks in advance!!!

Oops, Admins, this one is duplicate, I refreshed the page and accidently clicked post thead twice, can you delete this one please? Thanks!

Did you flash magldr?

AFAIK HSPL4 is not for Android but only for Windows Mobile.

Missing radio rom?

Hello,
I have an XV6700 that for almost 5 months now was running WM 6.5 flawlessly. I worked for a company that forces a passcode on the device. Now I never had an issue with the passcode until yesterday. Even though I kept entering it it assumed that I wasnt and after 5 attempts it hard wiped the phone. Which that doesn't bother me. But I have noticed since the wipe I cannot enable the phone radio any more and when it boots where it says R= theres nothing there. So basically I have a big ugly PDA right now. I have tried to flash to a different WM6.5 rom and the same thing happens. I tried to flash to the 1.43 radio but with the RUU that came with it, it did not want to flash and when I tried the RUU from the 6.5 rom I had it just errored out when I tried to update. Any help making my phone a phone again would be greatly appreciated!

[Q] HD2 Windows/Android problem

Trying to get some help regarding my HTC HD2 Leo for Tmobile. For some reason any windows rom i flash, it will always crash. It will either crash on its own during boot up,after boot up, while im doing something on it, or while i have it locked in my pocket. My phone worked fine before i tried to flash a new windows rom and install a new Android. I went over the steps i did before my phone started being jacked up, i cant seem to figure out what i did wrong.
What i did before the problem:
-Clear storage under windows
- Task 29, held the volume button down once it hit 100%, this put it into boot loader again.
- I flashed the windows rom that was used by dark-stone on his site. ( which i cant post since im new or something) <<< i was trying to use same windows build as him and update my android that he put out on Oct 17th.
- Once my windows rom flashed and it booted up is when it started screwing up, freezing, shutting off by its self after boot, not booting up once i would restart it and also if i left the phone on the tmobile screen it would vibrate like 5-6 times then stop
What i have tried since my issues:
- I tried to flash my old windows roms, with many others that i had before that worked fine. All of these i tried gave me same problems
- i tried to update to the new T-Mobile update that posted on October 20th, and i also tried old version of tmobiles stock roms. Same issues again
- I tried re doing task29, tried new radios, resets of all sorts
I do have HSPL on my phone, always have since i first started flashing roms.
At this point i have a windows rom that can last me couple hours without crashing, so i can text and call. However its really annoying since the phone seems to be fine i doubt i bricked it since it lets me flash new roms and radios. Should i just take off HSPL and reset everything and get this HD2 exchanged, or does anyone by any chance have a way of helping my figure this out, or have any suggestions i could try.
Its keeping me from using windows and even better android
Thank you

Repeated MAGLDR 1EFATAL HIT Errror after Task29 + radio flash

I had been running WP7 on my HD2 (TMOUS) for a while now. I had been running MAGLDR and although I noticed some bugs, I never had any real issues. Recently I flashed MAGLDR v1.13 on my device and continued not having issues. Then one day suddenly my device started rebooting on boot up (this had happened a couple times before) at DFT screen. I figured it was probably bugs in my SD card formatting. At some point the DFT screen froze once while I was at work and I pulled the battery. After I put it back in I got a FATAL HIT ERROR (of which type I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure it was 1E). Now I came home and did a task 29 and then I tried to flash clockworkmod and that's when I started getting the 1EFATAL HIT error on AD RECOVERY boot. I've done this literally 20 times and it either hangs or doesn't boot or restarts, or MAGLDR loads with a black screen and only title info on top. I also tried reflashing HSPL3 and that didn't fix the issue. I also tried flashing a stock 2.12...50 radio and it froze at 96% and so I had to flash HSPL3 back (the only one I could get to work). I also tried to flash an energyrom but it just hung at boot. I've also tried 2 different computers and 2 different cords.
Has anybody figured out how to fix this? I feel like this is a corruption/partitioning issue that task29 just doesn't seem to fix. I've seen about 10-15 threads with the exact same but no one has seemed to resolve it.

Mate, can you go into boot loader?
If yes, have you tried to reflash stock winmo rom using sd card method?
What is the result?
I m really curious because it might be there is damage or defect in The NAND, which can be known by the existance of bad blocks. If this is the case, task 29 is not really helpful.
My hd2 has bad blocks in the NAND, and now, I can't flash Android. Luckily, I still can use winmo rom all these bad blocks, IMO, is due to my excessive flashing habit in the past
Too check whether there is bad block, I flashed recovery via cLK method ( using command line in dos prompt) it can show you what happen during flashing..
Good luck mate
See, I thought it might have had an issue with the NAND blocks but the thing is practically new and all I flashed was WP7 ever so I doubt it's hardware. I think task 29 doesn't get all the blocks like you said. And yeah, I can get into the bootloader. I can boot into MAGLDR usually.
Do you have bad blocks? And after flashing back to winmo did you try flashing MAGLDR and then AD RECOVERY or WP7?
My thoughts were if I flashed a stock WM ROM, it would erase that part of the NAND and then I could go back to flashing.
I flashed it back to stock 3.14 (radio, everything was flashed back to stock) and it works like a charm. No unusual crashing or reboots so far.
NVM, just had one but it was a freeze and then it rebooted and now it's stuck at stick together. Will try restart. May be because battery is really low.
1:47:
Now it just keeps booting and restarting lol! I'm gonna try a task 29 and then wipe it again.
Wait now it booted. And then it restarted again. it seems to be getting closer and closer to booting.
1:50
Just booted into SPL to flash again and it says that it's still CotullaHSPL. I thought that the SPL was wiped with the method I used... Will come back to this forum later, have to do stuff. (going to trade my other HD2 for a Nexus S!)
Any news on this? Still having the same issue. Anyone resolved this yet?
I've been having the exact same issue, which I believe was initially caused by overheating.
I've had this phone for almost a year, and have gone through a handful of Android builds, both SD and NAND (more recently). Lately it has been having issues with high temperatures, to the point where I would have to hold it against an ice pack in order to make calls or use the internet. The phone would not operate if the internal temperature was over 93 degrees. If it passed the 93 degree mark, it would freeze, and gradually get hotter until I removed the battery.
I've been good about keeping it cool, and barely using it (other than texting), until it froze during a phone call. I turned it off for an hour and a half, and when trying to reboot, I would get the Fatal Hit 1E error. I've tried re-flashing, downloading new ROMS, and most of what the OP has said, and the error persists..
Is there any update on this issue?
I don't think my problem was caused by heat. What OS are you running?
My last OS was Ultimate Droid 3.3, which I upgraded to around the end of April. I was still getting the freezing issues in the OS I used before that, which I had since January, but was discontinued shortly after I installed it.
My last option is trying to go back to stock Windows mobile.
Let me know how this goes. I tried restoring stock winmo and it still had restarting issues.
i had same problem... lucky me i fix it
if any one of you has warranty immediately go for it, if not than read this thread.
Solving the thermal problems of HD2 or other snapdragon powered devices
My phone is fairly lukewarm when this happens. I don't think it has to do with overheating. It's never been that hot. Also it's under warranty until December so I'm probably just going to send it in if I can't software flash it. It also restarts on boot, before it can even get hot at all.
I think I'm going to try this later today. You guys should too and let me know if it gets you anywhere.

[Q] Problems with installing AmericanDroid & Mskip AL

So I tried to install Mskip AL v6 and AmericanDroid for a dual boot system.
The installation seemed to go fine (my radio was fine, and was going from the stock tmob ROM), I launched the HATRED and CLRAD within WM, I selected the options I wanted for the loader, it performed the restart and the screen went to black with the green HTC logo.
It never went any further than that.
I left it for an hour, still no change. I pulled the battery, and restarted the phone.
I got bunch of errors about tray.app not being able to start, and then some about trusted certificates.
SO I try to install again, and can't install anything, because I get the trusted cerificates/or one of the components missing etc.
Can anyone help?!?!
I've tried the security disable cabs on here, but they can't be installed due to the above problem.
Does the phone need to be unlocked first? Do I need to install something else first like HSPL?
And before anyone suggests it, no I don't want to go full NAND yet as I want to be able to check out Android on the hd2 before making the full jump.
Thanks!
Mskip loader has nothing to do with your problem, it just simplifies running clrcad and haret from android folder (which you can do by yourself from file manager),
the black screen with htc logo means the AmericanDroid loading started, then something stops (don't know what) - I'd suggest checking this thread for possible clues,

[Q] Flashing does not finish

Hi, I was running Android on my HD2 for almost 9 months, currently HyperDroid5.5.2. Till now, without any problem whatsoever. Suddenly, when I checked my phone this morning it didn't respond. So I waited a while, then tried pulling the battery. Booting got stuck at Android logo. No problem I thought, I periodically do nandroid backups just in case. Tried to restore it - stuck at restoring data. Then I tried advanced restore, only boot and system... either of them didn't work. After this, I decided to reinstall from scratch - task29, radio, magldr, cwm. The ROM installation got stuck again. So I tried flashing stock SPL and stock ROM from HTC site. SPL okay, ROM not. Got error 262 from the RUU. Tried searching the forum but there is so much stuff that it's impossible to get through. So please don't bash me from beeing a noob. Can anyone please help?
Edit: After the phone finally accepted WM back, I want to put Android back on it... ROM installation gets stuck at restoring Batterystats.bin... any ideas?
