android rom not booting

I have been attempting to get WP7 working on my hd2, but have given up as I just can't get the thing to activate. So I have been trying to put android back on, but nothing I try installing now comes out bootable. I've even tried putting it back to an official rom before installing (or trying to) android. whereas that rom works, the android install still fails to boot.
Anyone got any suggestions?

which rom are you trying to install? cwm or daf install?

cwm install, imilka's vision sense.

Hi,
I have HD2 with 3.03.0000 SPL, 2.15.50.14 radio, ROM 3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE.
I tried to boot SuperRAM_FroYo_V1.5.
Everything is ok, but when green HTC logo appears, phone is restarting to Windows... Can someone tell me what I need to do to boot Android ? I tried to search, but I dont find answer.
Thanks.

Looking into it farther, it's looking like when i try to install from clockworkmod recovery (3.0.0.5) that I have booting off my sd-card, the install goes far too wuick. it doesn't even create partitions or anything. Could it be the wp7 rom caused some areas of the phone to be 'locked' or something similar?

You have reformatted your SD Card to original size after using WP7, have you? If not, download Panaspnic SD Formatter and format your SD card using that.
Are you guys making sure you have right CWR system layout size for the ROM you're trying to flash? That's usually the problem if it won't get past the first Android bootscreen.

Task 29
Flash radio
Reformat sdcard
Flash magdlr1.13
Flash cwm recovery with correct partition size.150, 200mb etc.
Flash rom
Tbe task 29 and sdcard reformat should revers any possibilities of something still hanging around from wp7
2.15 radio
2.2miui stock via cwm

Only use this if just flashing the correct CWR partition won't work. There's also no need to reflash the radio. Task 29 only formats the NAND area.

Yeah, I did a full set of partitions on my sd card. not sure it was needed as wp7 didn't recognise the card.

Depends on which task 29 he finds in his search. Also if this is somehow radio related (seriously doubt) why not reflash it anyways, not gonna hurt. Since we dont know exactly whats wrong why not just redo eveything. Only takes about 5 minutes. And pretty much guaranteed to boot

Full set of partitions? Meaning you've got a FAT32 first partition and a Ext3/4 second partition? What CWR do you have installed though? It might be the wrong size for the ROM you're trying to flash. You can check what size CWR partition you have by opening the flash.cfg file (inside of your CWR folder) and find the line with 'system ya | 300' etc.

Oh. Guessing u have a leo512 and partitioning sdcard for apps2 sd. Wp7 still got ahold of your sdcard and did something.
2.15 radio
2.2miui stock via cwm

Yeah. I have the partitions set up as follows
1. Fat32 13gigs (ish)
2. Ext4 1gig
3. Ext4 350mb
3. linux swap 150gig.
the version of my clockworkmod recovery thing is v.3.0.0.5 and is running off my sd card, not actually installed on the phone. This has all worked for me fine until i put wp7 on, now nothing seems to be working. sigh.

Running off your SD card as in the intrid and zImage file are in there? I suggest you just update your CWR to the newest version (1.3). It doesn't need those files to be copied to the SD Card and runs off NAND. In MAGLDR it has it's own menu too. (AD Recovery). For me, I just have a load of different recovery folders with different partition sizes but it's not needed. I suggest you download the 150M CWR and then just change the partition size to whatever is needed. You just change the System ya | -150- to whatever size is needed. It'll probably be in the first post of the ROM you're downloading.

You need to format your whole sdcard. Whatever your using to format isnt seeing everything. Some partition types are only seen by linux. What partition tool are you using?
2.15 radio

I used gparted to give it it's fresh lot of partitions

Have you tried what I said to do?

Ok, got recovery flashed in and running out of magldr. When it comes to partitioning the sd card, what is the advantage of 4 partitions over 3, as some rom threads say to partition 4, some say 3.

You mean an Ext3/4 partition? I honestly don't know and I just use an Ext3 partition as it's easier to do on XP. Both work though fine though.
Have you flashed your ROM yet?

[Q] Regarding HTC HD2 and Android 2.3

Dear all..
I have an HTC HD2 EU version (guess thats 512mb) with
SPL: HSPL 2.08
MAGLDR: V1.13
Radio: 2.15.50.14
I have previously used NAND froyo - Android 2.2 with somewhat good sucess.
Now I want to upgrade to android 2.3 or 2.4 but cannot seem to get this working.
Please do not guide me to any tutorials of some sort as I feel I know what to do in the somewhat correct order.
My question is:
Can I run android 2.3 or 2.4 on my HTC or is this just suited for the american version of 1024MB edition?
Is there anyway to upgrade my 512mb rom to 1014mb to fit sense 3.0 and android 2.3/4?
I have tried to use this mod but after flashing and recover it halted on the HTC logo (every mod so far) without booting into android OS.
I am stuck and terrible annoyed for not getting this to work.
Just now, I am back in Windows 6.5 latest rom from HTC (reverted back)
Could someone please guide or direct me to an working rom/mod for my HTC HD2

i have a 512 hd2 and i'm running android 2.3.4 for a long time.so your problem has nothing to do with eu hd2, there may be another problem.go on trying.

Hi,
Firstly you cannot upgrade your 512 phone to 1024.
In order to get the larger SENSE 3.0 ROMS on your 512,is to use an EXT> partition on your sd card...
Before starting anything,BACKUP YOUR DATA.
Get THIS TOOL
Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card and choose 1024M and 0 cache.
Reboot,hold power button and go to 5 USB flasher.
On the HD2 installer select MAGLDR Repartition, (size depends on ROM you are using.Get info from [OP] )MB,connect your USB to pc/laptop and press repartition.
Go to ad recovery>wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced)
You are then ready to flash your ROM.
Go to install zip from sd card,choose your ROM(having already placed it on the root of your sd card).

Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card and choose 1024M and 0 cache.
Reboot,hold power button and go to 5 USB flasher.
On the HD2 installer select MAGLDR Repartition, (size depends on ROM you are using.Get info from [OP] )MB,connect your USB to pc/laptop and press repartition.
Go to ad recovery>wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced)

thanks, I think my issue halted on this section.
I tried every sense of different partition except the one listed above
This might acctually work for me, nice

It seems I cannot get any further sorry to say.
I did what was listed above
1. Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card and choose 1024M and 0 cache.
- Worked fine
2. Go to ad recovery>wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced)
Worked fine
This I did not understand
On the HD2 installer select MAGLDR Repartition, (size depends on ROM you are using.Get info from [OP] )MB,connect your USB to pc/laptop and press repartition.

I installed from zip SD card
HD2_CoreDroid_Desire_HD_GB_V2.1_Release_Version
But after reboot it halted on the HTC quietly brilliant / COREDROID / GET YOU CONNECTED logo screen
Nothing happens after this (going on 20 minutes now)
I tried to reboot as well
I must have done something wrong..

have you flashed the correct partition size?

This?

Hi,
I just looked at the cwm size for core droid rom, and it says 390M and 5 cache.
So,change the HD2 installer to these figures and flash the partition.

Ok, so I need to do this in the right order
1. Install MAGLDR 1.13
2. MAGLDER repartition set to CWM requirements
3. Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card and choose 1024M and 0 cache.
4. Go to ad recovery>wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced)
5. transfer zip installer to SD card
6. Install zip via SD card
And it should work or is the recipe wrong

for every rom there is a cwm partition. it is explained in coredroid readme.txt. you must find it and flash it using usbflasher in mgldr menu and daf.exe in cwm partition folder from your pc.

There was no coredroid readme.txt to be found..
Nevertheless, got it to work now, running
[CWR-CLEAN] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_GINGER 2.3.4-Sense.s V28 (08.Jun)
Thanks for the excellent assist guys

[Q] Reset android

Hi, I'm new on this forum, and I already have a problem
I just got my HD2 with android running from the phone. I was an xperia and WM user before, so I decided to give it a try. I'm trying to reset the phone (so I can costumize android) via Settings-Privacy-factory data reset, but it wont work, I hit the button "Erase everything" and noting happens.
Is there any other way to do this, maybe from the "boot manager" (I dont know the proper term for this).
...oh yes, I dont know witch specific rom is installed, I only know it is android 2.3.4

By "running from the phone " I assume you mean nand.
Turn on phone, hold power till get magldr screen, in magldr choose Ad recovery, when clockwork starts choose "wipe data factory rwsst" and "wipe cache" then restart.

yes I tried that before but it says "no boot sources"
so I guess I'm without clockwork...and I guess also this can be installed only when you install a new ROM..

Hi,
Backup your data before you start.
Download THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him)
Find your new ROM and determine the new partition size.
In the toolkit highlight Magldr update recovery,choose your size and update.
Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
Then install ROM.
The new partition + the wiping will thouroughly clean you up .

Tnx for the help, but I think I'm going to put WM back because I just found out that outlook and google can't be synced so easily as I use outlook for everything it's a shame.
Thank you very much for your help.

I use outlook. Myphoneexplorer syncs fine with outlook. (though I don't sync with google since doing so corrupts many of my contacts custom fields)

Hi,
This tool does a lot of the hard work for you.
Remember to back up your data before you start ,because these processes wipe your system clean.
Yes,this tool wipes your device(Not the sd card).
Re-install everything.
Use the tool to re-partition your system:
system ya 390M
cache ya 5M
Then:
go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
then install ROM

so to install a new NAND android rom (HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3):
i need to have MAGLDR and before that the right radio and HSPL. I already have all of this because I have installed an android rom.
from what I learned today reading all sorts of things on the forum, is that I can install this rom (HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3) or any other also without doing all that staff with the SD card and partitions, CWM... or am I wrong? - From the MAGLDR USB flash. for this to work does the rom have to be a special file type or can it be .zip like for the flashing from the SDcard?
...the CWM allowes me to backup and update android, or so I understend it?
but is it possible to install via MAGLDR #4 option and install CWM afterwards?
forgot: this tool kit enables me to do all this: install new MAGLDR, CWM an then I falsh the rom? I don't understand how it works

Hi,
Backup your data before you start
Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
Magldr repartition(use 5 usb flasher) (390MB, 5MB cache)
Then 8 ad recovery>wipe data,cache partition,dalvik(advanced)
Then go to install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card,using a card reader)
After installation,reboot.
Give it time.
Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.

aha so if I repartition MAGLDR my device will be wiped an the CWM will be installed. the partition sizes that you suggested are for the rom (HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3) that I'm trying to install? (I cant yet post in their thread so can't ask them)
and if I can ask this particular rom can be installed only by partitioning and flashing it by sdcard or also in MAGLDR?

Hi,
Sd card does NOT need to be formatted.
It is best to put the new ROM onto the root of your sd card,USING A CARD READER.
This will avoid any data corruption.

Ok, I give up, NONE OF THE METHODS WORK

I am now sitting in front of my HD2 for more than three hours and have watched several tutorials on how to get any android rom onto my HD2.
With MAGLDR I get the "123456 GO GO GO" - and then nothing happens
And before that there is a NAND KERNEL OPEN FAILED
Trying to get to the USB Mass Storage mode, Windows 7 (64) does not recognize the SD card. However, this shows then up in the USB eject menu (Eject MAGLDR)
With cLK I get some "flash_read_image: failed (511 errors) ERROR: Cannot read recovery_header" error
On my SD card, there is a ZIP file as downloaded "NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10.zip", formatted as FAT32.
Before, I flashed a stock WinMo 6.5, installed HSPL and a matching Radio one more time...
So no method works for me. Please help me.

1 - the mass storage in magldr doesn't work (for large files at least)
2 - you need to flash cwm with the correct partition layout after flashing magldr(or clk) and before flashing the rom.

i just recommend you to try flashing one more time from a scratch !!
install everything back to stock !! (install spl 1.42.0000 and stock rom)
reboot your device and start again !!
1) install hspl 2.08
2) install radio 2.15.50.14
3) do a task29
4) install magldr/clk (your choice)
5) flash recovery
now !!
insert your memory card in ur pc via a card reader only (dont use any mass storage or anything else !! use a good card reader only !! )
format it to fat32 with allocation size unit to 32kb !!
put the card into phone !!
boot up the device and make a partition 512mb ext -0mb swap !!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013852
flash this rom!!
atleast for the start or any other rom of your choice !! !!
try booting up !!
may help !!
GOOD LUCK

i think your problem lies in the ext4 partition that you have to make.
Today i tried this ROM which works great.
First things first:
I have a EU HD2 too (512Mb)
with a 16Gb SD card
make sure you have HSPL 2.08 if not see this thread
What i did:
First download these:
-Notepad++ (if you don't have it)
-the ROM from the above link.
-MAGLDR 1.13 (but HD2 Toolkit takes care of this too )
-HD2 Toolkit (for various reasons including Task 29)
-i use 4EXT 2.2.7 by Dansta34 recovery instead of CWM, it's great and does EXT4 partitions
-i flashed 2.15.50.14 radio (but i think 2.14.50.04 is better, at least for me so i'm going to flash it back)
-Now i removed my SD card from the phone and format it in Windows as FAT32, no partitions just yet.
-Plugged the phone to my PC via USB
-Ran HD2 Toolkit and pressed the Task29 button (now your phone is wiped) while with the phone in bootloader (turn on while pressing the Volume down button)
-Use HD2 Toolkit to flash MAG Loader too, just press the button while in bootloader
-Now bring your phone in MAG Loader (turn on and keep the far right button/end call button pressed until the list appears on the screen) and choose USB Flasher (option 5)
-Go to the folder where you downloaded TBD Ext4 Recovery V2.2.7 ported & moded by Dansta34 and find the flash.cfg file.
-Open the file with Notepad++ and change it to look like this(if you are going to try the rom above):
misc ya 8M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery_leo.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 220M
cache ya 5M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
-Save and close the file.
-Run DAF.exe from the same TBD Ext4 Recovery V2.2.7 ported & moded by Dansta34 folder to flash Recovery.
-When finished enter MAG Loader again and choose option 8 - AD Recovery by pressing the far left button/call button. wait for it to load.
-Choose from the recovery menu Advanced (scroll down with the Volume down button and confirm with the call button)
-Choose Partition SD Card, choose Remove all partitions and start from scratch
-Choose first SDEXT 1024, second SDEXT - skip, swap 128 and most important Choose EXT4 file system.
-Go back and choose File System Check, choose SDCARD and let it repair.
-Now you can remove your SD card and copy the ROM on your FAT32 partition (the largest one in case you run Linux on your PC).
-Let it copy and put the SD card in your phone.
-Boot in MAG Loader, choose AD Recovery and select install ROM from SDcard.
-When prompted choose the proper options (EU HD2, MAGLDR, etc.)
You should be good to go now, it's a great rom.
Let me know if everything is ok, eventually PM me.
Good luck

I think there's the problem. I don't have a microSD cardreader, I only can copy the file directly to the microSD via the USB cable.
Any suggestions for that?

Do you still have the microSD -> SD adapter?
If not, i'm afraid you'll have to find one or a microSD card reader if your planning on flashing a lot
That's the root of your problems too

Disregard everything, it works!
I just had to wait for clockwork approx. one hour until it loaded...

That's not good either..You really don't have to wait that long over anything.
Anyway, when you decide to start fresh, look over my post above, it'll help, took me weeks to understand some things and luckly the search function works.

Yeah, I'll give it a shot, thanks!
The wait is really bad...

I know exactly how you feel, I've been there.
i still don't know everything either but little by little, searching here and there and we'll make it

Hi Katalin,
Thanks for your post. I intend to use this ext4 partition next time when I''ll flash a new ROM. Tell me please is really good or is just a new thing and that's all?

I read about it last night when trying the new NRG ROM since a lot of people were having problems with CWM.
Apparently we needed EXT4 file system partition and CWM does EXT3 only.
The only thing i don't like about it it's the background, i think the rest it's better especially the partitioning menu.

I have written a guide that might can simplimify things some for you.

CLK and MAGLDR are the two different bootloaders used to get android on to the hd2's nand. american clk nand is the rom for the clk bootloader while amercian magldr nand is the rom for magldr bootloader.
If you dont know what clk and magldr are or what nand is then you google it. or search here in the forum before posting, everything has been explained, usually more than once, then over and over again, by various different people with various different guides.

I think Ill keep MAGDLR ... I just need to solve two problems:
1. how to create partition on my SD cart to extend internal memory (because in my american android I have only 80 MB free). I know how to do it in CLK but I have no idea how to do it in MAGDLR
2. somehow make my opera mobile browser play flash videos properly.

For problem one, download the free tool Mini Tool Partition Wizard. Use the Home Edition.
Steps to partition sdcard:
1. If possible turn off device, take out sdcard, use a sdcard reader to connect micro sdcard to pc/laptop.
2. Backup all sdcard content to pc/laptop.
3. Open partition wizard, delete partition on sdcard
4. Now, first create a fat32 partition, with 32kb cluster, make it primary, leave atleast 500mb free space. THIS HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE THE NEXT PARTITION.
5. Then using the remaining space, create a second partition, also primary, forrmat ext3 or ext4 depending on your rom, with 4kb cluster. THIS HAS TO BE THE SECOND PARTITION.
Apply all changes then put sdcard back into device, turn it on, run data2sd script or a2sd+ script depending on rom then you should be good to go.
I would recommend searching the american android thread for data2sd or a2sd+ scripts and instructions before following my advice.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for device breakages or sdcard loss of life, it is not my fault, blame god, technically he created everything so its his fault.

And you don't have a usb card reader? in that case boot into clockworkmod recovery, i'm guessing you know that? go down to mounts and storage, the go to mass storage, the bottom one, plug usb cable in and that will mount sdcard to pc.
Then follow my instructions from before.

When you say!" I know how to do it in clk but not magldr",,, are you sure you don't mean you know how to do it in cwm? Cwm and clk are not the same. Cwm on clk is the same as cwm on magldr.
Clk is not cwm.
Into magldr, start cwm, advanced, partition SD card, done.

That works tooo but if your rom needs a ext4 partition then you cant use that as cwm partitions using ext3. but if thats all yo need then fine that works jut make sure you dont use a swap space unless your rom requires it.
And i was meaning did you know ho to get into cwm on magldr and obviously you did so thats good. And yes i know cwm is not clk cwm is a recovery, clk is a bootloader, i was the one that pointed you to that info on clk and magldr

to be honest Im completely confused now .. I thought that CLK ane CWM are the same things.
when I was downloading american android NAND 2.3.7 there were 3 download links:
1. AmeriCanAndroid MAGLDR NAND
2. AmeriCanAndroid *CLK NAND - this link is dead
3. CLK starterkit - this link is dead
I thought that AmeriCanAndroid MAGLDR NAND is one whitch is installed trough MAGLDR and AmeriCanAndroid *CLK NAND is one witch is installed trough clock work mode

I very appreciate your help. Im beginner in installing android and to be honest Im totaly lost.
so if I understand it right I have to do this ? :
0. install wm 6,5 to erase everything (I want to start from very beginning)
1. install Magldr
2. install clock work mode CWM
3. make a partition like this:
-Boot into the Clockwork Mod menu
-Go down to 'Advanced' and select (by pressing 'Call Button')
-Select 'Partition SD Card'
-Select Size of required partition not sure then 1024M is a good size)
-Make ABSOLUTELY sure you want to continue and then select 0M Swap Size
4. go back to magldr and install again wm 6,5 to erase everything except the created partition
5. install magldr again
6. install american android magldr NAND
Do I understand it right ?

Hey man there are plenty of guides and tutorials on this topic, that is if you search !!

No CLK and MAGLDR are two different bootloaders. Obviously the links are just dead for american android CLK nand.
American android MAGLDR is installed through clockworkmod recovery using the MAGLDR bootloader.
AND
American Android CLK is installed through clockworkmod recovery using the CLK bootloader.
CWM works on both bootloaders, that is why you are getting confused.
There are plenty guides to use to make sure you can do it with out problems, you just need to search. Dont do anything until you know what you are doing, just read and re-read until you understand what has to be done and what the different aspects of the HD2 android are.
I don't want to be mean by saying this but if you can't understand what is happening you shouldn't try and put android on your HD2
