[q] blue screen flashes & freezing please help!

EDIT PLEASE READ THROUGH
Alright, I'm about to give up again. My phone.. I don't understand what the **** is wrong with it. I have uninstalled, task29ed, reinstalled magldr flashed with CWm uhhh.. all that stuff over and over and over and over again and it STILL freezes, flashes a blue screen, crashes, restarts, freezes all that stuff.
Right now the issues I have are :
-It crashes on the tri color screen when I plug the USB in.
-It stays at the "Stick Together Scren"
-It crashes when I get to MAGLDR (IF I get t MAGLDR)
So I can't really get anywhere with these reoccurring problems.
Right now I have
-2.08.HSPL
-Radio 2.15.50.40.
-Magldr V 1.13
And that's it. I have TMOUS HTC HD2
I'm trying to install D4RK MIUI v1.5 (1.6.24)
Yes, all my battery little prongs are straight
Yes, I format my SanDisk SD Card
Yes, I did everything I was supposed, followed every instruction to the T, and yet... still.
I'm sure it's not bricked.. It still turns on and stuff, but it just freezes and crashes CONSTANTLY.
PLEASE anyone that knows ANYTHING new I could do, or can direct somewhere. PLEASE. I really love this phone and the possibilities it holds, I don't want to use my stupid Samsung Galaxy S 4G. It's so slow xDD

Anyone have any suggestions..?

To help you everything you say have to be precise. Like is your ROM is it an android NAND and what's the name of it. To check turn off your phone, then turn it on, right from the start by press and hold the red button until you see MAGLDR 1.13 screen. If you see it then we can move to next confirmation steps like what's the name of your ROM. There is no way to fix any if you just give us a maybe. From MAGLDR, select power down, then wait a few second then power your device on and let it boot all the way into the ROM. When your ROM fully loaded, go into Settings/About phone/look under what's the Build number? What's the Android version? What's the Baseband version?

I have magldr 1.13
So I ended up getting a stupid samsung galaxy s xD
ANYWAY, the other day I charged up my old HTC HD2 and prior to ignoring it and letting it die, I removed android and magldr. But I wasn't able to remove HSPL because it wouldn't stay on long enough for me to do it.
And today when I thought it had "fixed itself". It was working completely fine, no freezing on WinMo. So I thought 'what the heck let's do it again!' so I followed the steps for flashing your first nand rom from mskip and I still get the same problems. The phone freezes, I leave it alone, try to press buttons, and it flashes a blue screen then reboots. Magldr doesn't load, I can still get into the tri color screen, I've tried to master reset it multiples of times.. I DUNNO WHAT TO DOOOOOO. And it seems like I'm the only one with this problem xD Please help!

Well of course it is, what do you expect, you have just wiped the entire nand.
You need to re-install MAGLDR, then the partition size you need for the rom you want, then copy the rom to your SD and flash with recovery. Get the HD2 NAND tools from the sticky thread in Android NAND forum, that will make process allot easier for you.
You should also properly format your sdcard with Panasonic SDFormatter (Full+Overwrite+size adjust). Then in recovery>advanced>sd partition (1GB+0MB swap) If you have a EU HD2 and need the extra data storage/rom requires it.

Could you be a little more specific....? ^^;
Like.. how do I flash with recovery.
What tools are you talking about, 'cause I downloaded the HD2 toolkit and have no idea on how to use it. Seemed simpler than I expected.

Install HSPL 2.08 HSPL.
Wipe using Toolkit Task 29 (Enter bootloader:as above)
Flash radio...download HERE(Enter bootloader:as above)
Install MAGLDR using Toolkit (Enter bootloader:as above)
(when magldr has loaded,power on and enter by holding power button until you see magldr screen.)
Repartition according to ROM requirements.(via number 5 usb flasher)
(when this is done,Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card.1024m with 0 swap)Remember: ALL data on your SD Card will be erased!(Therefore,back it up)
Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and 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.
An alternative is KEVIN134's TOOLKIT (Don't forget to thank him).

Hey! Thanks for replying! I figured it out on my own and have been installing roms through my SD card via Clockwork Mod. It works well for awhile, but I still have the same problem I started off with. The phone freezes and a blue screen flashes then restarts. Do you know why this is happening?

yes, formatting the sd card fixes a lot
use radio 2.15
and before flashing a rom, always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache

Hi,
Couple more questions.
What sd card are you using?(brand,class,size,etc.)
What ROM are you trying to install?

I have SanDisk micro SD adaptorfor my SanDisk 16 GB microSD there's also a number 2 in a circle at the top right and HC in the bottom right.
I'm trying to install D4RK MIUI v1.5 (1.6.24)

Hi,
Sandisk is a good make of card which is Android friendly.
If you have formatted it as suggested above,that should not be the problem.
Did you follow my guide to the letter?
D4RK MIUI requires a 150MB CWM partition.Did you enter those figures in the KSUBEDI TOOLKIT?
Are you sure you downloaded the MAGLDR version of the ROM?

Yes, yes, yes and yes xD I'm just as stumped as you are.
Could the Sim card have anything to do with it?

nand android on hd2 = freeze freeze freeze.

[Q] Unable to enter tri colour recovery

I am helping out a friend who has android running on his HD2.
The device has magldr 1.13 and is in a bootloop.
I would like to perform a clean install, (task29 etc) but for those steps I need to get into the tri colour bootloader.
When I press and hold volume down and power I enter the magldr menu..
Can anybody tell me how I get to the tri colour bootscreen?
Any help would be really appreciated

I think your way is correct. Vol down + power botton but don't let it go until 3 color screen is up.

Don't hold power, hold vol down, tap and release power,keep vol held till bootloader appears.

First of all, thank you for your fast reactions and support
Well, the problem is that when I do exactly that the following happens:
1. White screen with green htc logo shows
2. Magldr 1.13 boots and because I keep pressing vol down the white selection starts skipping the magldr options from up to down.
This indicates both my vol down and power buttons do work..
Is there any other option for me to get to the bootloader?

There are quite a few reports of being unable to enter bootloader, but I don't know why or how to get around it.

Thanks anyway
I will try getting advice from the magldr dev's
If anyone knows a way around this it should be them I guess..
Edit: Can anyone help me with this problem?
I'm affraid my friends phone is bricked..

Rebooting isn't really an option as booting android nand results in a bootloop.

Do you mean I should try usb mounting with magldr in windows and format it to fat23?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You could try that, but I've heard MAGLDR's mass usb option doesn't work. Do you have a card reader handy? That would be best. I'd format it to NTFS then have the phone format it again once you get it back into a ROM.

Magldr's mass storage option only mount's the external SD in the phone so that won't be of any use
What do you mean by 'card reader handy'?

That's what I meant. Take the card out of the phone and reformat it.
Or
Find the clockworkmod folder on your SD card and delete it, then try to reinstall CWM.
Maybe that will work

The CWM file is on the internal SD, how can i access that?
Is it possible take the internal SD out of the phone?
When I 'mount usb storage' in magldr and connect to my pc it only mounts the external SD which only has some photo's on it.

I'd say the External one. There should be a "clockworkmod" folder. In it there is a ".settings" file. What I'm driving at is if this has been deleted, and you reinstall CWM you should have essentially cleaned up CWM and replaced it.
Does this make sense?

I know what you mean but in my Samsung Galaxy S experience the CWM files are in the internal storage and not on the external SD card.
So let's hope I'm wrong and you're right!
I'll take out the external sd and format it, and put it back in afterwards.
Then I'll install CWM and hope it boots

There was an earlier version of cwm, not sure where it is now, that was just a set of files that you would put on your sd card the select boot android sd then it would boot into recovery so you could flash .

sd card as in 'external sd card' ?
That might be the sollution to unbrick this device

The SD cwm is what you want to download. Extract the 2 files to the root of the SD card, choose ad SD option in magldr.

Will try that! Really hope it works..
If not I'm affraid I just gave my friend a 400€ tetris in magldr machine :/

The same happens when I try to boot AD recovery..

had something like that happening to my wife's hd2. I can get into Magldr but no bootloader and no cwm. ended up downloading me a dft build. this one: http://sites.google.com/site/nexushd2android/nexushd2-gingerbread/v2-3
installing dft via Magldr still works.

Thanks for the tip!
Just installed it and it hangs at the boot logo right after Go Go Go!
I tried another dft flash yesterday with the same result. It still hung at the boot logo after 30 minutes.
Any other suggestions, or do you know somebody here on the XDA HD2 forum that knows about how to try make this phone usable?

What if the SD card is messing up the bootloader...? try to enter bootloader WITHOUT the sd card present in your device. Maybe the card or formatting is somehow corrupt.

SD card or not, the phone only boots straight into magldr..
Any advice how to make this phone usable again?

Flashing a ROM

I am new to working with the HD2. I have flashed ROM's on my G2x and am working on a HD2 my son bought.
It alreayd has aMAGLDR V1.13 I can get into that menu easily. It gives me the following boot options
Root menu:
1 Boot WPH
2 Boot AD SD
3 Boot AD Nand
4 USB MassStg
5 USB FLasher
6 USB TTY
7AD Hardreset
8AD Recovery
9Tetris
10 Services
11 Reset
12 Power Down
MY question is if I put a ROM on the SD card should I load a NAND or SD ROM?
And what is the proper sequence for flashing a ROM on this phone as I would rather not brick it
Thanks for your input and assistance!

I cant believe you're even asking this.
Go and read the rom instructions or the guides.

You need to give more information. What build are you trying? This is a comprehensive guide on installing all newer NAND ROMs.
SD ROMs are very easy but pointless if you aren't dual booting with WP7, NAND Android or Windows Mobile. Just place the Android folder on the root of the SD card with the MAGLDR files, choose the SD Dir and then boot AD SD.

If you don't care to have Windows 6.5 still operating on the phone, then you might as well use a NAND ROM. NAND ROMs usually consume less energy than an SD ROM and also runs smoother. Just download one of the ROMs onto your SD card and go to option 8 in MAGLDR, go to install zip and highlight the zip ROM file you want to load. Give it a few minutes to load. Make sure in the ROM thread that you use the correct partition size they recommend or you will experience loading issues. I am currently using Tytung's Nexus HD2 v3.0 NAND ROM.

[Q] [need help]stuck at DFT logo

I tried the oldest DFT WP7 rom (7004),but I could not boot into WP7.Stuck at DFT logo,I tried to put my microsd card and my sim card out of my phone but it did not work for me.
In addition to other rom such as Pdaimatejam_Rom(7740),HD2O (7720), Back to the future,It could not boot too.Same problem,Stuck at DFT or HTC logo before boot into WP7
I tried to task29 and installed magldr and flashed WP7 rom again in serveral times but it stuck at logo again and again.
My micro sd card is SanDisk 8gb and 16gb class4.It could flash wp7 rom and
boot correctly in the past.Today,It can't boot.
How to fix it back to normal to boot correctly into wp7 ?

Sorry,Has anyone known how to fix this problem?

Hi!
Sorry to hear that you have so many problems with your HD2 Am I to understand correctly that you are unable to install any WP7 release now? If that is the case here are a few ideas that have helped me and others in here:
1. Format your SD-card in a Nokia device or in Linux (I do that) and make a fresh install with the desired ROM (please delete SD mbr and activate extra Nand before installing!)
2. Try to flash a WM6.5 release onto you phone first (beware - this will uninstall magldr!)
3. Try to install WP7 without SD card and when you have booted and phone is running ok insert card and make a hard reset using magldr.
If I have misunderstood your question I'm sorry - Please let us know how things turn out for you!
/Anders

and check if HSPL 2.08 installed

Thank ! Anden1986 and dxdy for your answer.

still stuck at DFT logo.
Even I restored hspl 2.08 to spl2.08 and changed it back to hspl2.08,I also stuck at DFT logo agian.
Normally,I can use wp6.5 and android (nand/sd).
I have problem with WP7 only.

then is microsd card problem... did you try boot without card? if WP7 already flashed just do hard reset and boot without card

Boot without sd card,I already tried,it don't work.

seems problem in ROM....

Need help urgently, HTC HD2 stuck wiped :(

Hey guys
So, I finally managed to get on my PC to try and install WP7, but I think I failed.
I'm going to list what I did below.
1. Booted phone into bootloader (has Android installed from previous owner)
2. Installed Activesync on PC
3. Went into HD2ToolKit, did a Task29, then flashed MAGLDR 1.13 (2.08 HSPL already installed)
4. In MAGLDR, I went to Services and did Last24NAND and Wipe Sd MBR
5. Went and selected USB Flasher
6. Opened DWI.exe from YukiBackToTheFuture folder, which flashed fine.
7. Went to boot into it, but it hangs at splash screen.
What can I do? I need help urgently, because I need this phone for tomorrow. I don't know how to reinstall Android, and I have no access to a PC until Saturday.

Not sure what radio, dead pixels at the area in bootloader so I can't see it -.-[/Highlight]
Help! 
CJ

Click on the guide in my Sig and red up on the old method of MAGLDR booting Clockwork Mod Recovery from SD card. Just go to the section on Clockwork Mod Recovery. You will also have to down load a .zip of a android ROM on to another SD card as WP7 formats your SD card with a RAID format so it will be usless until you do a low level format and then a fat 32 format. You can use another phone if someone will let you to download a Android ROM, use WiFi if possible so you do not eat up your friends data. Make sure you move the ROM to the root of the SD card, Leningrad it is not in a folder. Place the two files for Clockwork mode on the root of the SD card too. Boot your phone into MAGLDR by holding down the home button while you boot your HD2. When MAGLDR is booted up place the SD card in your HD2 and then select AD SD and it will boot Clockwork Mod Recovery. Then select install from SD card, select from SD card, and then find the ROM and select it. Let the ROM flash and then reboot your HD2 and it should boot into the Android ROM.
