need some advice

I recently got a hd2 off of craigs list for a steal, and the ONLY reason why I got it is to run android on it. But I am having problems getting a android rom to boot, and getting one stable. I have double checked all of my intructions to the T, and I am coming down to two reasons why I cant get mine to work properly.
1. sd card problems, Do I really need a class 6 card? Right now it hangs where the linux boot says, creating a new data store.. it just counts down from 99 very slowly.....
2. I did buy the phone used. so one of my battery prongs on the phone is off set a tad. loose a little. will that affect my android loading?
I have tried to search long and hard before I made this post, but honestly THERE IS ALOT OF INFORMATION TO READ THRU and i justget confused.
if anyone can shed some light on these two questions, i will appreciate it.

You don't really need a class 6. I'm using a class 4 just fine and there are many people who've said the stock 16gb card works. I would suggest pulling all files you want saved off the card and do a fresh reformat to fat32. Then move your files back over and download the version of Android you want to run.
Are you using a stock or custom Rom?
Have your tried different radios?
Have you tried a different build of Android?
All of these variables come into play. Can you provide some more info about your setup? Thanks and good luck. I hope the reformat solves your problems.

I am using the latest energy froyostone rom with his custom wm rom for android. I have only flashed one radio, the one that went with a chucky rom gtx.
the wm rom boots up no problem, i always reformat when I try to flash a new rom, I always wipe the sd card before I try.
Now I need a working phone, so I have my sim in my vibrant when I flash, does that make a problem?
I really cant think of anything else that I have tried. I have gotten a couple of rom's to boot up with android, but when I reboot and install my sim card, the phone will freeze upon wm boot up, and sometimes load android again but goesinto a boot loop within 5 minutes. I am really looking for a good wm /android combo, if I get it running stable the first time, I probably wont flash again until some major breakthru happens.
Edit# switched sd cards. got it to load up one time, then tried to reboot and put my sim card in, phone goes into a boot loop before I can finish set up.
Now it is taking me forever just to boot up to WM
I am experienceing freezes on start up, freezes once WM boots up.
thanks for your advice

I'm assuming you have hacked with hspl.
Check the pins on the battery and try not to pull the battery out as those pins are really fragile. If one is bent it and shorts it puts the phone in a continuous boot loop, not a big deal just straighten the pin out and you should be fine.
I'm using the latest mattcfroyo sense rom ver 16 and had a similar issue where the linux boot would just freeze past a certain point. There is a modified zimage that was posted that completely solved that problem, again an easy fix, just swap out the old for the new. But I have to admit spending about a half day messing with this to get it to work, at one point I almost thought about moving back to wimo - after that nightmare thought I dug in and found the fix.

ok, another update, and thanks for the advice, I took my simcard out, and it booted up android fine, its been up for 10 minutes , no problem.
Are there any sim card issues I need to know about? Should I head to tmobile and get a new one>?
I think I am really close, and I thank you two for tryng to help.

It couldn't hurt to get a new sim. There could be a corruption on your card causing the boot loop.
*Edit: head to any TMO corporate store and they will give you a new sim for free.

I used a cheap 4GB Micro-SD card and it seems okay. I think its recommended just to have a fast card to improve performance. The best thing to do is to try a different build. Ensure you did the following steps:
1. Flash HSPL(2 or 3, I personally used 3)
2. Flash a Windows Mobile ROM(I am using a barebone version of Energy by NRG28)
3. Flash a radio(Version 2.08.# or higher, i'm personally using 2.12.#)
4. Flash a build of Android(Any is fine, i'm personally using Darkstones Froyo 2.1 but try a few)
5. Take SD Card out, launch into Energy, insert SD Card, use file explorer to go SDCARD\Android\ and launch CLRAD.exe(Wont show anything but press a few times to make sure) and launch HaRAT.exe, wait until you get into Android(may take some time on the building data store text) then restart phone by doing step 5 again
^ don't think i've missed anything
******Edit******
Didn't see your post about SIM card until i posted this, try a free Pay as you Go sim or another spare SIM you may have, or maybe put SIM in when Androids loaded?

i would also look into starting from scratch , like going back to stock rom and working your way back up

[Q] NAND Android flash from SD

Hi all,
First some explenation. My USB port broke . Since it is my own fault I can not return it. Now I am thinking of replacing the main board since I can not find out where the data lines could be connected to on the mainboard. Power I fixed. So my HD2 is fine but the USB does not work.
Now... I have HSPL2 and MAGLDR 1.11 installed on the device, but is there any way to flash radio's and or NAND ROMS from SD just like the WM6.x?
I read some stuff onces about partitioning SD for flash with MAGLDR 1.12 but I have 1.11
If this is posible, I can keep using my current HD2 and within a few months I can get a new one when my contract ends. Else I need a new mainboard.
Thanks

If your phone has already been partitioned via DAF then you can flash CWM roms via the SD card in recovery (CWM).

Well, I can always partition my SD on a computer, that I can do, still this leaves me with the radio. Is there an other way to do it, I know it should be posible, but is there anyone who already build such software?

Yes, you can flash radios from the SD card. To do this:
Rename the radio you download to "leoimg.nbh"
Place it on the root of your SD card
Place your phone in the bootloader (power off, hold vol down and power on)
Bootloader should recognize leoimg.nbh and ask if you want to flash it

YES.... Stupid me... That one is not afecting the rom area. Thanks, You are the best!

Well, I have an other question, i can't find anything that will partition my PHONE. Not the SD. Is there software for the HD2 which can partion the ROM without USB. I have CWM working fine, only the current partitions I have I miss the cache partition. If this is posible everyone can install everything but HSPL through SD.

I don't think its actually possible to partition your phone memory. At least, not with any software I know of.

Then i don't understand how stuff is working, All the CWM zips need a specific partition size, I don't have cash, so where are these located? like where is mtdblock1 and 2 for instance (system and data) Is mtdblock0 boot? is mtblock3 cashe?

[Q] HD2 freezes at 0% during update or flash

Hi searched the threads and cant find the answer. HD2 512.Radio_2_14_50_04
Put HSPL on it no bother
Ran Magldr 1.3 it flashed, the phone said reboot but didn't. Took the battery out and the phone restarted but came up with the hit 1 error.
Put it in bootloader tried to flash a standard rom, froze at 0% then failed.
Renamed the Nbh file and put it on the memory card, back into bootloader, phone said loading but nothing happened.
Tried to run task 29 sticks at 0%
The bootloader is stating usb, so I have now ran out of ideas, so any help would be appreciated.

Here is my run down. try using a different USB port just in case it is a driver issue. Did you you use a 500MB to a 4GB Sd card formated Fat 32? Maybe you got a bad download try redoanloading or copying it to the SD card, maybe bad file transfer. Make sure you try running the update as administator. Heck just keep trying period, it seems like several people or having this kind of problem as you with not being able to get the phone to boot and then not being able to flash a ROM to fix it. But through perserverience they did get it to flash just had to keep trying and trying. By chance does it even show the screen on .oot up that has the R, G, and B in red letters if so what does the R and the D have beside them?

The minute you tried to flash a stock rom from SD,, you removed hspl, even if the flash stopped at 0%. In fact it stopped at 0 because hspl is no longer there to allow the flash and I suspect you used just any stock rom, not the correct stock rom.,,,, ditto with task29.

Hi The phone does go into the red/geen/blue boot screen. (will post later what the writing in red states)
Using a 2gig memory card which was formatted using panosonic and is fat32.
Tried different usb then a different laptop (both running windows 7) Tried a fresh download of the rom from HTC using the seriel no on the phone so should be the right one. Tried to run the RUU from both the laptop and renamed on the card. Not sure if its worth trying to put CWM on it?

Hi
The rom was the official one downloaded from HTC based on the phones seriel No.
Will try installing HSPL again and Magldr, but was trying to put a standard rom on, as all the comments advise flashing back to standard if your having problems. Cannot understand why it is freezing at 0% on the laptop, or just saying loading when i try to do via memory card.
Cheers

If you are using a computer with Windows 7 on it when you go to run the update utity right click it first then click run as administrator. Sometimes when using Windows 7 this helps.
Edit: Ifyou are trying to flash a Windows Mobile ROM then no CWM would not .ebifit you as it is for Andriod ROMs on the HD2.

Same with MAGLDR.
MAGLDR and CWM are ONLY for WP7 and Android.
Reflash HSPL , install the radio you named in the OP, then try a custom win6.5 rom such as Energyrom.....

Yea I understand, but when the standard rom would not run, tried a few android roms as well.
Now have managed to install the HTC rom from the sd card, but on reboot sticks at the white htc screen. Not sure if its maybe a battery issue. So am waiting for a wall charger to be delivered.

Make sure you have a current radio version and not a older version. The most current radio version is 2.15.50.14, and you can download it here. It flashes just like a ROM either via computer and USB cable or SD card, exactly the same as flashing a ROM.

you may have a nand memory corruption. The phone should have been capable of reflashing itself if you can get to the bootloader and use a proper stock rom. If your phone either fails to flash or flash completely but gets stuck on next reboot, you can have some corrupted memory sectors. The phone will be able to write on them but the information can't be read, therefore the phone will lock up. Think of them like bad sectors on a hard disk drive. I had these sort of problems with some older HTC's and Eten's, in some case you could eventually flash them but however you will still experience some problems or errors. In other cases it will simply fail on every flash attempt or at the boot screen. I only managed to fix these by connecting the board to a JTAG interface and marking those sectors as "bad" then reflashing the phone after i run a special version of bootloader directly from ram memory, line by line.
I also saw these problems on boards with problems in the cpu area (bad soldering, mechanical shocks etc).
I hope that's not the case with you, maybe you simply have some logical problems with the internal memory or the spl area.

Cheers, thinking of sending it for repair, now ran out of ideas. Installed the latest rom from HTC, it said everything from radio to wallpaper had installed correctly, but still will not get past the white screen with the HTC logo.

you can try another last thing. place a stock rom onto the memory card, place the card in the phone then place the phone in a transparent bag and put it in the refrigerator. Wait for about 1 hour, then... with the phone still in the refrigerator area, start it (don't remove it from the bag) in bootloader mode to flash it from the microsd card. Wait untill the process completes, then at the first restart when the phone is displaying the logo, quickly open the bag, remove the battery, then leave the phone & battery separate, in the bag for another hour in the refrigerator. After all this, remove them from the refrigerator and try to normally start the phone while it's still cold. If this doesn't work, then i'm afraid you have 80% chances of hardware NAND memory corruption/damage.
If this works, then you have a problem with the qualcomm chipset, it's pretty known, the BGA soldering between the chip and motherboard got damaged by excesive heat produced by the CPU and now some connections are not making proper electrical contact, thus producing errors in the cpu's normal operation. If the phone is very cold, the cpu and soldering will contract, thus giving the BGA matrix a chance to remake those electric contacts, for the moment - untill it heats up again.
The 2 problems can be related to each other. First, a CPU that works improperly (due to BGA failure) can disrupt I/O operation on the nand memory chip. Overtime this could lead to a situation where some memory blocks are destroyed due to improper handling by the qualcomm chipset and although the memory chip reports a number of blocks available for writing when you flash the device, some of these blocks are unaccesable when reading back. Somehow, if this is the case here, these blocks must be marked as damaged, so the memory chip's controller doesn't report them back as available and prevent them from being used anymore. I don't know how this can be done in HD2 as i don't have the hardware datasheet for either the qualcomm chipset or the memory chip itself. Like i've said, it was possible on some older devices by disassembling and directly connecting the cpu to a jtag bridge, as i could figure out how the cpu works from the original aplication notes and datasheets from samsung.

Thanks for that, my wife stuck it into a shop when I was out. (she is sick of me messing on with it)
They have told her it is only a software issue, not sure they know what they are doing.
If they do not fix it I will try this method.
Cheers

[GUIDE] How to remove Windows Phone 7

BY CONTINUING IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE.
1. Download the latest rom suitable for your device
2. Then have 7-Zip open the .exe file from the inside then take the RUU_SIGNED.nbu then copy it to your microsd then rename it to LEOIMG.nbu
3. Turn off your phone and insert your MicroSD card
4. Volume Down + End Call
5.When you get to bootloader stop holding End Call but keep holding Vol Down
It should update
If that doesn't work Use this method
1. Follow all the steps from above but with my special rom credit to xmoo
2. It should say Update Failed. Thats PERFECTLY normal. Remove the battery, put it back on, take out MicroSD card, Do a Hard Reset (Vol Up + Vol Down + End Call) when its shut off obviously. It should hard reset . Then when you have the RomUtilityUpdate.exe working now with your phone use it and it HAS to work.
Special ROM: http://xda.vbnhost.com:8080/HD2/ROM...dio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.zip
If it doesnt work, PM me il help you
Update!: Just hard reset and use the USB method

Nice idea, maybe "noobs" will find your thread easier than the gazillion ones already existing discussing that very issue.
You might want to add a note what a) your special ROM does and b) if it really works with all Leo models.
It´s easy to say that it´s everybody´s own fault if they brick their phone, but without specific descriptions, there is an increased risk for fails.
Also, to complete the information, it would be great to add sources where to find stock ROMs (there are quite a few), and how to find out what one needs. During the past couple of months, I´ve seen quite a lot people asking these questions.
Even if it´s kind of basic....

good point, for instance using usb flash it will not clear the SPL/magldr to factory default, does your special rom do this? in which case this would be quite useful as the bootloader does apear to be a bit picky with which SD card it will allow a SD card flash from

Proff
For proof, I will upload a video

Not required anymore, just hardreset and use the usb
method with your latest stock rom

[EDIT:] Sorry I pretty much solved my problem. It seems like its pretty mandatory that you have a formatted FAT32 1GB or less card.
I am know trying to figure out how to get NAND Android after installing the latest TMO ROM. Been a while since I've seen WINMO. Almost like a breath of fresh air .

Sorry I'm having difficulties with this.
Can you tell me what the usb method is??
Greatly appreciate it!
(More INFO: Im trying to revert an HD2 TMO back to stock and I got the latest rom and renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh but when I try the bootloader it just gets stuck in the tri-color screen.)
AGAIN I would greatly appreciate your help.

Just bought hd2

Hi guys, i've just won bidding on ebay for a HTC HD2 with stock rom.
I won it for £62 Although there's a catch, the usb slot isn't functioning, so you can't charge the phone via usb or access files via usb. So the owner charges it via an external charger where you have to take the battery out and put it into one of those charger things. I've got one of them too, and it works a charm.
Now the real question is will I be able to put any version of android into the HD2 without access into the phone via usb? So would it perhaps be like the HTC hero where you put a rom into the sd card and flash from thereon? I hope it's like this, because I can't stand windows 6.5
Thanks in advance guys!

You can run SD BUILDS from the android section and use a different phone or a micro usb

As far as I know you cannot flash HSPL 2.08 via the SD card and therefore cannot flash NAND Android (replacing WinMo with Android) but you can run SD android from the SD card. Just update to the latest stock build with radio 2.15.50 then download an SD Android rom, run CLRCAD and HARET and enjoy.

So I can run ICS? from the sd card essentially?

Check if your hd2 has radio 2.15.50.14 or other with a .50 number in it for example 2.12.50.02.you can check it from os or in red small letters in right corner of the screen when phone boots
if it has you can run sd android roms
then power down the phone.Hold volume down and press power.Dont let vol down until you see a tri-color screen.If it says hspl 2.08 or 3.03.cotulla then you can put clk bootloader v1.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114053 and run nand android without the need of usb port
if nothing of these things (no hspl,no radio 2.x.50.x) exist in your phone,you cant run android sd or nand

Dudes, dont give him wrong infos.
Ofc you can install nand roms without your usb connector. Simply use cLK bootloader instead of MAGLDR. But, as alrdy mentioned, you need hspl.
If so, you are able to install cLK from your sd and set up CWM recovery layout size over it. Without PC. Just search for it here in Q&A and forget sd-builds.
I might have some time tomorrow to search the correct link for you.
And clio is right. For further information look here

Just a sideinfo: you could try to disassamble your hd2 and change the usb connector or the motherboard... or buy a defect hd2 ti test around.. for both you could search for it on ebay.. for the disassamble guides on youtube.

Therefore nobody gave him incorrect information If you can't flash HSPL via SD card, NAND Android won't work properly. Nobody said you couldn't flash cLK via SD card though
Also, if you don't have a .50 radio you will have to update your stock ROM via SD card. Download the stock ROM for your device and extract it somewhere, find RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to Leoimg.nbh and place it on your SD card. Reboot your phone into bootloader and follow the instructions from there to flash. I've never done this before and this is just off the top of my head from what I can remember reading, so if you need to do this google the process first just in case I missed something
And yes, you can run any ROM off the SD card, from ICS to MIUI to CM7 to Sense.

Guys, there was time in HD2 BEFORE hspl existed

IF you are technically sound and IF you have some patience, look up HD2 goldcard. There were a few common goldcard images somewhere - this is a hit or miss for you as to create a goldcard for your phone, you need the USB of your phone. Since we can't go with that, try the different images - and hope one of them works. Repeat the following steps with different goldcards until one of them clicks or until you run out of them.
Once you have a goldcard in place, look for cLK 1.5 RC1 from Rick_1995. This version of cLK includes clockworkmod. Place the leoimg.nbh file in the root of SD Card, power on the phone with volume down. If all goes well, the leoimg.nbh will flash, which means you will have cLK bootloader with Clockwordmod recovery.
Read up how to create partitions without a PC (and hence without using USB) using cLK 1.5, and you should be good to go.
Important Note: I have never used a gold card to flash cLK 1.5 on my phone. A gold card disables ROM ID checks, and was used in the good ol' days to flash stock HTC ROMs on carrier branded HD2 phones. The same may or may not apply for flashing cLK 1.5, give it a try - this is the only chance of ever getting NAND Android on your phone.
If the goldcard method did not work, see if you can buy another HD2 with the motherboard working (example, screen broken but booting) and replace the motherboard to get a working USB port. Or stick to Android from SD Card, follow @clio94's instructions - just make sure you have .50 radio, or flash a stock rom with a .50 radio using the leoimg.nbh method.

You`re right.For european hd2 model the only stock rom with radio .50 is the latest v3.14 that includes radio 2.15.50.14
so if his hd2 doesnt have hspl and no .50 radio he will find under battery the serial number of his device and then flash from sd card the properly 3.14 rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
and he will be able to run android from sd
