Whole CoreDroid1.7 is crashing on HD2

Hello there,
first of all excuse me if some of my phrases are wrong....
I use CoreDroid 1.7 NAND on my HTC HD2
I installed it normally and i worked 1 month with it everything okay till today.
I downloaded some apps etc...
after a day i opened a game and it didnt start (black scrreen) i wait for more than 5 minutes but nothing happen so i put out the Battery of my phone.
After i switched it on The First screen of CoreDroid appears. It asked what my provider is etc.. the normal questions and than it sets up the phone again.
After this i saw all my App are missing.
If i check with the Filemanager the Apps are still in Folders.
my contacts are gone. i had to connect with Internet on my HTC account to gett'em back.
And very important : there is a Message on my Phone :
=> Storage is almost full make sure that your phone has more than 512KB free space <=
THis is happening the 2nd time now. Last time i deleted anyway all to upgrade to 1.7 But this time i dont want to loose all my settings.
I hope i could describe my Problem well....
Also some informations for a better solution:
- Everytime i rebott it the first screen appears.
- On Settings my SD card appears.
- Message: Storage almost full.
I dont think the SD card is OutofOrder cuz it is shown there Free space etc ...
i use an 8GB SD card.
Thank you, i appreciate any help and if someone can ask others please do it i ust need my phone asap .
Thank you guys.

Oh Cmon Guys, please help me has someone connections to Sergio . ???

I don't know itf it will help, as I'm no user of this particular distribution. Here's some generic solutions:
- Coredroid seems a big build, so it would be advisable if you create an ext partition in your SD. You can do that from the recovery app or rom manager. Usually a 1GB partition is more than enough. Be aware that this procedure will erase your SD card, so backup!
- Try to make a clean flash of your phone. Task29 to flip the bits to 0, proper repartition, etc... Before, that meant to download 3 or 4 separate apps but nowadays you can do that from a single tool. Search for HD2 Toolkit in the NAND Forums.
- While doing the clean repartition, make sure to follow the needed requirements of your particular distro. Coredroid (as most sense builds) doesn't seem to follow the standard 150 partition, and it may not fit there.
Hope it helps.

Hey thanks for ur help, i already have installed my CoreDroid on an ext partition. and Flashed with Task29 after 1 week the problems discribed came.

Ok bro... My turn.... have you checked out our thread or read the posts at all? There are plenty of solutions to the problem...
1. Read the threads....
2. Ask in a PM someone like Aortega, Tigermoto, Ljjehl, or maybe Ray Heath, or DaDoctor, or even Sergio!
Please remember for every problem there´s a solution....

Hey thanks first of all that u take time.
After copying the CWM folder to my PC i format the SDcard (8GB => 6,4 GB shown cuz 1GB ist EXT)
I performed Task29 and now my phone wont boot but it stucks on the White Screen with green HTC letters
my PC doesnts show me my SDCard
i dont know the enxt step

Okay, i installed The magLRD but now a new problem occurs on AD-Recovery i cant go in...
=> No boot sources ( error)

HOW TO INSTALL ANDROID to internal memory, currently on SD card

can someone link me a how to or guide, i have the android on my sd running smoothly but i beed a guide on how to install it to the phones internal memory, i mean do i have to install windows stock rom in order to get it on the phone? or can i install it like it is now??? i just dont see any info on this partiicalluar situation

you cant (easily) move an sd build onto nand. You would probably do better to backup your contacts and stuff and go find a NAND rom you like the look of. start fresh.

i guess what im asking is there anything i need to do to prepare the device for the internal android install? i dont wanna copy and paste the install from sd to internal but im asking do i need to install windows 6.5 the original rom first or ican i just flasj it aka load it how my phone is now??? this i havent encoutered yet, and i want to make sure im doing all my steps right, if i need to just find a rom (NAND) and install it how they say???

and btw, the sd andorid version said it was nand but just on a sd build, weird huh? lol im also hearing that some of the sd builds are running faster than the NAND internal ones, can anyone speak of this?

ah well you may find that there are two download links in the thread perhaps? cant really comment, never taken much notice of sd android, , it never worked through haret/winmo for me, so i went straight to nand.

im using the gingerbread 2.3.7. by the way, is there any new ones or ones that you reccomend? im not picky just want somethign stable, fast and nice, htc sense or not doesnt matter let me know NAND btw

which one? half the roms are 2.3.7, just saying 'im on gingerbread 2.3.7' doesnt help much, , ,, far better to give the name, since there are so many variants.

here is the one i have
http://hottipscentral.com/how-to-install-android-gingerbread-2-3-7-on-the-t-mobile-htc-hd2/

is that the process you followed? If yes, then its already on nand rom. That article is about flashing typhoon (one of the most popular roms) to nand.

yes i followed it to a Tee, lol so your saying its already on the internal phone memory??? ok then so your saying i can take out my SD and it will still boot? hmmm and typoon is what the zip file i have says, can you help me a bit further im following you so far but want to make sure im seeing this right and doiong it step by step thx for replying

watch the video at the bottom of the page from youtube thats on there, thats the step i followed

sorry this is the one i have installed not sure how i got the other , but this is the correct one :Cyanogen MOD 7 Gingerbread 2.3.7

yea thats NAND. there isn't an sd version of typhoon.
yes you can take your sd out and it should boot. (if you have an EXT partition on your sd card ((i didn't watch the whole vid, but it wasn't mentioned)) then any apps you have installed wont be there till you reinsert teh sd card.)
you need to read read read, there are four or five important parts to nand android.
bookmark THIS starting point, and start browsing threads in the Q&A section and NAND development.
basically, your key components are
hspl 2.08.hspl - don't touch this again, android wont work on any other.
radio - fine, you wont need to touch this again any time soon, as with the hspl.
magldr, hold power to start it, the only option you will use is 8 - ad recovery, which starts cwm
cwm (cwr, clockworkmod clockwork, clockwork recovery) which is what starts when you choose AD recovery in magldr, you flash your roms from here, wipe your data from here, factory reset (back to android, not a real factory reset), , you can usb transfer in cwm, the one in magldr corrupts large files.
The cwm 'partition size' is 150 ( i think thats what he chose?) This is the inportant piece of info you need if changing to a different rom, since different roms need different sized system partitions.
You can change this in the tookit you used.

thx thx and thx!!! thats what i needed to know

Check out EasyAndroid, with it you can flash NAND Android from stock HD2 in 30min.
I like useing the clk loader as you do not see it load as you boot the phone, and you can use the android boot to recovery option.
if you already have and SD Android i would download TitaniumBackup and make a backup of all of your aps, as you can use this to save your aps across any Android Rom.
Have fun with NAND Android,

Unlock your SD card(tested on HD2) after WP7 or Mango installation :)

I am a flash addict and I am sure most of you are. I can't stand a smooth running phone that works flawlessly. If it does, then I must do something to it to destroy it's stability. Well, it's not easy to brick HD2 unless you are a real dummy or like to live very dangerously lolll....even that can be fixed...but it was more difficult for me to find a way to unlock my SD card back to normal after WP7 installation. Some suggested in this forum that some of the cameras and nokia phones will do the trick...I was frustrated when I screwed up my 16GB sd card and could not find that camera or phone...as it won't make sense to buy them to restore a $15 card.....so I gave up on that card until today....I decided to play with WP mango again with the same sd card...resulted in locking it again...my challenge was to succeed unlocking it this time.....followed the same old procedures with no success...I tried and exhausted all options again!!! Then I decided to pop my sd card on my second hd2 which is running android with 4ext recovery installed and try to format it or something....and it worked!!!!! Just repartitioned the card and reformatted and it automatically unlocked it during the process....No step by step by step by step installation of software or reading pages or running codes.....nothing else was needed!
Life is meant to be simple after all
Anyone who is having the same issue with sd card after Windows Phone 7 or 7.5 installation just repartition and reformat your card via 4ext recovery and it will work...nothing else needed :} Good Luck!
All credits to 4ext recovery developer....and the developer must be proud to find this info.
Here is Step by Step process-
If you are running Android NAND and have 4ext recovery installed....then
1. Turn off your device
2. Take out the SD card(if there is any in it) and insert the one you want to unlock/fix
3. Turn on your device HOLD red power button until you get to aMAGLDR v1.13 menu
4. Go to option 8. AD Recovery hit green button for it load
5. Now you should have 4ext recovery(mine is version 2.2.7) menu
6. Scroll down to Advanced
7. Choose> Partition SD Card
8. Choose whatever size you want to first one, second one to be and the rest goes to fat. If you want all in one partition, just choose '0' for the first two and '0' as swap.
9. Follow on screen instruction you may see.....and it will delete all previous partition and create new one
8. NOW go back to main 4ext recovery menu....and format you SD card...AND there it it! Your SD card it back to normal...enjoy
NOTE: I use 4ext recovery that you flash via usb flasher thru magldr NOT the one from market. You can find the flashable one in here. I will try to find the link and post it. BUT it is not and will not be my work!
Here is a link I found....but this NOT what I used. I used this recovery that I found in one ROM link I have tried in the past which I can't think of but I have been using the same recovery since then because it is the BEST with the option of EXT4 file system....the one I have you can directly flash it like any other recovery you normally would to partition NAND to flash NAND Android roms. Nand partition size has nothing to do with sd recovery steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297587
Since I did not use the above option....I won't be much of help. But from my understanding you can use this option to update your current recovery to 4ext recovery and then follow my steps. The app from the market would require to update your current recovery as well to be able to use my method to restore your SD card after WP7 installation Good Luck! Although it is a very simple process to undertake, I am not responsible if you damage your phone or the sd card even more!!!
If someone who has the usb flashable version of 4ext recovery(for HD2) could attach it or provide link that would be great for everyone. Mine is installed in the phone and I don't seem to have that file....too many files I download everyday and must delete them all at some point

If you've found a solution to a problem...please go ahead and include a link or something so people can find the tool you used without having to spend time searching through threads and forums, instead of just writing that you found a solution.

please provide more detail. I downloaded free app from Android "Play Store" market but cannot see where to partition card.
Please provide more detail. i.e. is it free or paid version.
which menu to use etc

I will post detailed step by step soon

I did not install that way(read post) but I think you have to update your recovery to 4ext after you install that app. And after that you can easily try my steps. It will work

Ok thanks for all your efforts.
It seems to m that you can install 4ext from "android market", load it then choose the first menu option "Online install..." and download the additional 4ext recovery file from there.
But I'm still having problems getting it to load at boot up
Update: No joy. I have Clockworkmod recovery on mine. Installed 4ext but overwrote boot stuff and would not load 4ex. So I need help how to replace Clockworkmod with 4ext or whatever I need to do (I have more expertise in WP7 than Android)

For the HD2 the 4EXT Recovery was originally ported by Dansta34 and i have also seen a variant on Coredroid which looks like it's the same. The Sensation 4EXT from Madmaxx will not work on the HD2.
The HD2 4EXT Recovery can be taken from either Dan's thread (TBD ROM) or from Coredroid, whereas i recommend taking it from Dan as he also took the workload of porting it to the HD2 as far as i know. So he should deserve the Download stats and the credits
I've also got it mirrored in my Signature. Feel free to take it from there. I've got both the CoreDroid and the TBD variant, yet the only difference i can see is the background image. Not sure though.
Once you downloaded that Recovery you can put your HD2 into USB Flasher Mode in Magloader and then flash the Recovery via the included DAF.exe, then proceed with the Steps the OP recommends. Notice: if you flash it for the sole purpose of unlocking your SD-Card, setting the partition sizes in flash.cfg is irrelevant. Just leave them as they are since the Recovery and the partitions will be deleted and set up different from the WP7 flash afterwards.
Since the Threadstarter has contacted me for a link to the files (?? Why is that) i'd like to point out that this Recovery is not a hidden gem but a normal Download for at least two Android ROM's and can be taken in exchange for a THANKS.
I recommened NYSEAN1 to reproduce and verify his findings, as i find it rather strange that noone else has noticed this "function" of the Recovery before. There is quite a large number of people who mess with both android and wp7 and noone has ever noticed that the HD2 can, by means of the 4EXT Recovery, unlock DRM encrypted SD-Cards? Very odd.
Well, if it does actually work, the better it is for us. So, we have to say THANKS to NYSEAN1 for finding out this wonderful trick that saves us from finding an old Nokia phone.
I'd still recommend to post this Info on the SD-Card unlocking threads as this seems the most independent and hassle-free solution to me. But please only after this procedure has been verified by more than just one person to be working as expected.

Thanks
Thank you very much.
I have sloved it.

Many thanks Sneakyghost, this will save others the problems that I have had.
Would you mind providing a link Dan's thread or advise as to which to download from your great site – it seems to have a few Xt4 files. Not being an expert, I’m not sure which to use.

I used TMobile version....but it doesn't matter anyway..nand partition or size does not really have anything to do with it...any size is fine...just pick any 4ext recovery and flash it through usb flasher...all we are looking for is the 4ext recovery menu to re-partition and format the card.
Please report back it worked for you...very eager to know

Sorry, but it's not that simple. I have had to start all over and rebuild the O/S as loading the wrong 4ext on messed it up - would no boot past "go go go". Hence we need to know precisely which 4ext to load.
Whilst your instructions are great and will be/are a big help, we must calrify this to ensure the project is a success for others.
So one last vital piece of information needed, if you can help clarify.
Many thanks for your help
BTW. Are we talking about a completely bricked SD-Card or one that just need some fixing. i.e. has a small fat partition?

If you flash any recovery your WP7 will be gone. No matter what partition size you set. Sorry. That's exactly why it doesn't matter which 4EXT you take.
Regarding your second question: I was suspecting that Nysean1 only fixed a card with a small FAT partition. But he recons that he also fixed the DRM encrypted card from e.g. a Yuki or xboxmod ROM.

Yes I realize that things will be wiped. But I grabbed 4EXT from the Market which jammed at GoGoGo. So best we warn folk about that.
I downloaded and installed EXT4_CoreDroid_10_180_10 from your site thanks very much - seems all OK. Have Android NAND back running again
I have now tried it on a fully bricked SD Card, but no luck at all for me. Tried about 10 times will different options. So it seems it is not an unlock for a fully bricked card (unless I've done something wrong - you say any of the Ext4 from your site should work the same)
Tried it on a card with a small FAT partition, and that's worked, but I can do that using partition program on my PC, so no added value from my perspective
(unless Nysean1 can throw some more light on this)

Sorry it did not work for you. I am not hundred percent sure what kinda lock my card had. I wanted to run WP7 and android...so I installed WP7....did not quite partition the card for android as per the instructions.....this is the second time I failed to do that....WP7 without the option of android sd is lame....anyways therefore I wanted my card back...could not format it in anyways...via my camera...was not even recognized by my computer and mini tool....send usb unlock code....all failed for me....this happened to my last card also...i was never able to revive it...and did not work out any method I could find in xda and outside....but this time and with this diff. card 4ext was able to partition and format it back to normal. I can't even find that one anymore to try my new finding as I am aslo skeptic to try and take another chance with my current card as I use it everday....that I know for sure had Yuki rom installed when it first came out ...I am still searching for that card...and if I do find it I will certainly give feed back.
However....those who have installed ext4 will certainly appreciate it...since it is (I think) the best recovery you can have for you android...only thing is that some roms don't support ext4...so be aware of that.

Thanks for your explanation NYSEAN1
Thus your title/heading is fully correct - to unlock from Yuki rom.
I guess I got excited thinking that meant unlock a "bricked" SD card, which has been bricked through an error installing a WP7 rom such as Yuki rom. The two issues are different. However, you have not claimed the later case, but the first, and that is fair enough.
I have always hoped that an Android system might resurrect a fully bricked card- I still hope, but not their yet.
Thanks again
Edit 1: BTW thanks for putting me on to ext4. I do like it!!!
Edit 2:
Seems like the only way for a bricked card is for a Nokia device (or similar), which I don't have. See

If you couldn't reset the card by sending unlock cab, it simply means you did not suffer from the WP7 DRM encryption. That means your method is up until now nothing more than a faint hope. Someone has to really verify.
My theory:
It is from my perspective and experience much more likely that the file system, boot record or both had been damaged in a random way. since every partitioning tool pursues a different way of doing it's job, some might fail at your particular issue and some might get the job done. This time, it worked out for you with the 4EXT while all others failed.
Tools to try before giving up:
- windows format
- SD formatter from SD-association
- mini Tool
- EASEUS Partition Master
- Acronis
- 4EXT
To overcome the WP7 DRM encryption you would need a tool that forcefully ignores some SD-specific parameters and commands, which where originally invented to lock down these cards. As with all these systems, they only work if both content provider and content reader agree to stick you the specifications. If one doesn't, the encryption doesn't work. So far, only a certain edition of Nokias symbian does ignore the encryption command. BUT: I was hoping that also the 4EXT would maybe ignore it...

Cotulla has indicated that the next version of MAGDLR for LEO will include the ability to unlock SD cards that have been locked by WP7.

Thanks a lot mt8 had a 8 gb card and when i installed android on nand the card was preety much dead 0 Kb space and formated using various formating tools but no luck and saw this thread and gave it a shot and i have my card with 8 gb in it. i am using cwm 3.0

Well you have to do some reading!
To point you in the right direction, got to the rom thread of whichever ICS 4.0.4 rom you have chosen and read the first post.
You will find instructions for the installation of that rom , including system partition size (which I would say is your problem!).
What rom exactly do you have?

I remember that when i was installing it i choosen 180mb size

That should be ok if you have no bad blocks in your nand.
What installation type did you perform, nand, or datonext?
I really need to know what steps you took to install and what type of installation?

I really need to know what steps you took to install and what type of installation?

And did you create an ext4 partition on sdcard?
Is this the 1gb you were talking about?
You have to make sure your sdcard is partitioned correctly aswell as your nand.
Well if you are sure you did everything correctly, try re-installing but with a bigger system partition size of 190mb.

Yes. Thats what i was talking about.
Actually screen works again. I can say that i have some other little issues : sometimes it can take few seconds before i can use my touchpad to unlock screen and internet seems to be a bit laggy. (even if i have good connection and high free ram)

Try this and if you still have problems report back....

I would bet on bad blocks..
I think the OP of a ROM should say "MAKE SYSTEM 400 MB - SPACE YOU SAVE OTHERWISE WILL BE WASTED ANYWAY!" for DataOnEXT installations.. :banghead:

If you have a 50% chance of being right, you will be wrong 90% of the time...

Gotta be bad blocks...
Good point, it is a bit of bang on head, but some data still stays the on band so let's say 350mb..lol

350 will work also but.. what remains in userdata? When I look at the partition it has 1 MB used in it as best as I can recall (looking at it via TWRP extended). Anyway, we agree - makes no real difference if 350 or 400 as long as it is more than 180!

[Q] where to start ?

tried installing this rom above but stuck in loop comes to htc and then reboots by itself. any ideas on that ?

What's your /system partition size? Make sure it's enough for the ROM you're trying to flash. Since the other ROM you flashed worked I'm fairly sure it's not to do with radio or SPL version.

300mb over 45 mb . none of the roms worked that i tried to flash so far they are in bootloop. i think i have old recovery but how to update to new recovery ?

Do you have an EXT partition on your SD card as well? You'll need one of those if you don't. Also, flash a 285MB partition and change your cache size to 5MB, no ROMs use 45 as far as I know. Right now you're wasting 55MB of your internal storage because your partition sizes are too big.

i dont have a ext partition on my sd card. i did all that you said except ext partition but the rom wont load on top of that i dont know how to go back to complete stock as in windows by deleting magldr and everything else. plus how to update recovery from magldr ? some things im not able to understand even through guides its difficult.

No point going back to stock now. It really shouldn't be too tough provided that you read. I'd recommend using the toolkit:
1. Boot into MAGLDR
2. Choose 5. USB Flasher (or whatever number it is)
3. Run the Toolkit on your PC (you'll need admin rights)
4. Click MAGLDR Repartition and change the sizes to 285 and 5 cache
5. Connect your phone and flash
6. In CWM, go to advanced then partition SD card. Select a size you deem appropriate (I'd say 500MB or 1GB, ensure it's less than half the size of your SD)
7. Copy the .zip ROM to your SD card, preferably with a card reader
8. Flash in CWM
9. Reboot and see if it works
