My HD2 is very unstable with different ROMS. Help please

Hello all,
I'm kinda frustrated with my HD2 device at the moment. It worked perfectly fine until a few days ago.
It has begun to freeze _very_ often. With some ROMS it can't even boot up. It freezes when I have to enter my PIN. On other ROMS it is guranteed to freeze when using ActiveSync/Exchange.
Using HSQL, I've tried L3v5y, XannyTechRom, and MIRI. All with the same result.
Have you got any ideas whats wrong with my device?
Any help will be much appreciated.

I have no idea about whats wrong but this has been a common issue/problem for many members...I don't think I saw this many issues with the HD...I dunno whats wrong with HD2 or the ROMs that it starts freezing for some...maybe the HSPL is buggy? I dunno to be honest.
maybe you should install a stock rom in between or go to MTTY and see if that fixes the issues for you.
Overall tho, its frightening to see how many people have freezing issues with Sense after flashing a couple of custom ROMs...I'm afraid it might eventually happen to everyone and thats why we need to find out what is causing this.
BTW try to format your SD card and then flash a stock ROM without the SD card and see if there is any improvement...my guess is that it will work fine again (for a while at least).

What I have figured out is that with different roms the behaviour is different, depending IN WHICH ORDER you have the links in the autostart folder.
Right after flashing it should be ok and if you install than other programms the startup interfears with the startup of htc-sense
Finaly I have the best result (on my device with the programms I have installed) keeping the htc-Sense startup as the LAST item.
You can change the order with sk-tools (Autotstart items).
You can check this (If you have a chance to access):
- Make a reset and do not enter the pin code of your sim card (on my device this was making a difference, if you do not have a pin code maybe you should take out your sim card that the phone cannot connect)
- Go to the settings and unselect in "Today" "HTC Sense"
Than you should have the normal "speed" of the device and you should be able to start sk tools and change the booting order.
It looks like that - depending on the start up order that applications - processes are waiting for each other and using nearly 100% of cpu power and you have therefore the impression that the device is frozen.
I am sorry I do not know how to change the startup order without sk-Tools
Best regards,

Thanks for your reply.
I will try what you suggest later today and then write back the results here. It would be very nice if we could solve this issue.
I don't really get that MTTY thing. What exactly does it do?

Can you only use that ROM? Have you tried flashing another one after strenas?
I would really like to use l3v5y's ROM.

When you flash lots of cooked roms, they get "bloated" and the devices started hard-resetting for no reason. this is because of files from old roms being left when the new rom is flashed.
MTTY allows you to enter the device on bootloader and use service commands to format the file system on the device so you can remove all rom files before flashing a new rom!!

basicly it will format your system and make sure you don't have any files from older roms left on the system which might cause this issues.

i tried too l3v5y's ROM and it didn't work. But maybe, your pb is not exactly same as mine.
Do you you a 16 GB card ? for me, it's certainly cause of pb because i can use every rom without sd card
Try to ask more to sternas but i noticed he prefer keep his cook secrets

Try to install "official" 1.61, make HR after boot. After next reboot connect with PC and flash with any cooked ROM. I had the same problems like you and this helped me...

Try deleting the folder "\Application Folder" on the storage card using your PC/Laptop, and reinsert the SD card into HD2. I assume you are using ROM cooked with Manila version that has the document tab.
Let us know if this works for you. It took me a long time and many flashes to figure this out. I suppose you have configured your HD2 for emails or MS Exchange pushmail?
Edit : If you already experience the slowdown caused by inserting the SD Card, MAKE SURE you reboot your HD2 before re-inserting the SD card.

I had this "freezing during startup" with a number of roms (always after I installed my software) and since that I am always "tweaking" it by the startup order as I described it and was able to solve it!
I do not think that it is hardware related in the amount of cases which are reported. And I am also not a strong believer of this "flashing" and mtty discussion (it could be a solution is some cases but I do not think in this relatively larger number of cases which are reported).
For most of the rom cookers it is not the 1st rom cooking they are doing and the HD2 is not the 1st HD2 device for HTC as well. This is the reason why I do not think that there is a principle rom problem nor a principle hardware problem
Manila Sense is a complex pcs of software and the startup is therefore more complex.
Depending on the tweaks the rom cookers are doing on the XIP and other WM internals there could be a timing interfearance during booting and this is creating the trouble for Manila Sense startup (network, phone, etc.).
Reminds me to the "good old days" with ATART-ST where you had dedicated tools to rearrange the startup seaquenze of the Accessories
At least i think it is worth trying it, you cannot loose anything.
But I played not only with the finaly boot order of htc-Sense (the last one) but also I put other elements in a different order.
Sometimes it was helping to install Panolauncher and put it before HTC Sense startup - I had the impression that just having another application before HTCsense made an improvement to "give HTCSense" more time.
Does not sound like science but a little bit like Voodoo ...
My Autostart folder (only the applications)
1. poutlook.lnk
2. BTTrayCE.lnk
3. De|WMPTempFolder.lnk
4. PKG.lnk
5. Lotus Traveler.lnk (installed by me)
6. LotusPRUploader.lnk (installed by me)
7. Panolauncher.lnk (installed by me)
8. OM10QS.lnk (installed by me - Opera 10 beta)
9. HTCStartUp.lnk
Good luck

so i just got the last version of sktools.....could anybody please explain how I can change the startup order? sktools has allot of tools and I just cant figure out how its done!
thanx!

Hi,
sounds to me like you have flashed so many times you HD2 has become "Bloated"
this is where for eg, Rom X is 110Mb, and then you Flash Rom Y which is only 100Mb.
When you do the flash there is 10Mb of residual files left from the previous rom., when this happens often you get strange things happening like you describe and worse, your device can start hard resetting for no reason!!
Go to this thread (swap the ** for tt ) h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616422 (I cant post links yet!!) and it will fix your issue. (The thread has been shut as there has been a big argument over it, something to do with a disagreement over drivers!! - how gay!)
I can honestly say, although i have only joined recently, i have been a user of this method for about 6 years, I personally know the Guy who opened the thread and i would stand buy him 100%.
Although the thread is closed, i will help with queries via PM if you like!

I tried deleting the \Application Folder folder and reset the phone.
Of course this equaled a hard reset as all system data stored was in \Application Folder.
So I removed my storage card and did a hard reset so that the system data will not be stored in the storage card.
Hopefully this will be make the device more stable as such.

use the mtty to format ur device first, then flash the rom u want to flash.
I have encountered the same issues just like u, after use the MTTY, so far so good.
the post is kind of complex, but it is worth to have a try.

That's the easiest way. Remember that you'll louse EVERYTHING personal on your phone...
Also, there is a third rom ATM, but it requires more work to get to the latest version. Although it allows for more flexible features and updating..
Couldn't be more clear I guess

Try installing a better rom such as YukiXBMod, PDA's, or HD2O at 8107. I've been using WP7 and it has been by far the best OS I've ever used.
The speed of the phone also depends on your SD card. If it's sluggish, more than likely, your card isn't compatible.

all the roms available are in that thread. i'm using HD2O and it's fantastic. I'm not going back to Android. everything runs much smoother and i use my phone more rather trying to customize it like on the android.
and your SD card says only 200mb available because when you flashed WP7, it locked your SD card. there are only a few ways to unlock it.
i suggest you reflash WP7 again. It's a great OS.

you simply not read instructions (tutorial) how to install this ROM.... you already ask this question under ROM topic....

You are flashing the rom incorrectly.
Under the rom thread you wish to flash, please read the instructions first. All the Rom creators usually edit their thread to make sure the instructions are included. The instructions are also included in the DWI.exe file. You are just not reading it.
1. Turn off the phone completely.
2. Turn it back on and hold the shut down button until you reach the MAGLDR screen.
3. Press the green button on "USB Flash"
4. On your screen, it will load and say USB Flash ready!
5. Unrar the files and place them somewhere like your desktop.
6. Open "DWI.exe" and make sure you Ran it as ADMINISTRATOR.
7. Read everything or simply skim through it.
8. Keep clicking Next and watch everything finish on both your computer and phone screen.
9. Wait for it to boot up. It usually takes around 5-10 minutes.

Excellent and thanks very much. Too much head spinning information on sticky and almost gave up. Following linked guide took me less than 1hr and that including some partition errors + sd card not recognised msg on first try. Missed the part :
2.GO to services and activate the last 24mb of RAM
3.Also in services do format MBR
Now need activation. Just a quick one: can I change the sim(number) after received the code? Or the code is only valid for given phone number to MS chat agent?
cheers.

dont worry give your original number...code is valid only for the live account...

Actually, Activation works
Tried on different phones, different rom, different SN (all HD2 though) different sims (also no sim) and different live account. Activation just always works.

Code is for a live account.. But you can use it on another account after 30days if the earlier account stays unused / withdrawn.... So you can use it on different phones, and and yes on different accounts too.. The problem comes when you want to install the same app you have on one phone-live account from marketplace...again on another phone with same account.... It says already installed

OK,I ve made a thread before but none seems to be interested...I have a T-mobile htc hd2 tha runs on custom winmo6.5 rom...i want to install wp7 but as soon as i install em touchscreen does not respond at all...then i get back to winmo6.5 and everything works great...i ve tried hundreds of tutorials and performed every step very carefully...PLEASE HELP ME!

yeah I think I remember, did you try android?
did you try downloading the latest Original HTC ROM un-modded directly from them and SD card install it?
Its possible that the digitiser is just slightly different for one reason or another than other peoples devices which might not play well with the driver?
have you tried out the ultrafruit ROM, that uses a different drive to Pdamatejam so try them both?
it could well be hardware mate, even corrupt RAM can give off some odd behaviour if you didn't get the answer you were looking for before then its likely that we didn't have an answer to help you.
oh PS
im not one for picking up on spelling and grammar etc (mine sucks!) but see the use of ! you don't really need more than 3, like this!!!
more often than not 1 will suffice!

be careful of ultrafruit...i've read it's buggy...you probably want to try yuki/xbmod back to the future rom. just make sure you install the devstoragelock.cab so you can unlock your sd card before flashing another wp7 flavor.
i believe i responded to your original thread and asked which rom you were using and also if you performed the required magdlr prep steps? i don't think you ever answered. the prep steps being 10-services, 5-clear mbr, and 4-uselast24nand...then flash.
perform task29, install magdlr, perform prep, flash.

yuki/xbmod's bttf rom is the only rom that locks the sd card. if you haven't used bttf then you have nothing to worry about. also, if your sd was locked the card would be useless period. the card would not be recognized by any pc nor phone until unlocked again.
like i said try bttf rom and see if it makes the screen work. i believe hd2o, ansar, and pdajim's, and others use the ultrafruit as their core. bttf is pure original microsoft wp7 base...and was working long before ultrafruit even came out.

if your screen is working with wm6.5 and perhaps android, then for some reason wp7 has interface issues with your phone. i guess the question is does your entire screen work without issues in wm6.5 and/or android. if so, it's a wp7 interface issue...if the screen isn't 100% in wm6.5 then it's probably a digitizer issue.
actually, if you've replaced the digitizer before, it could be the replacement hardware causing
the wp7 interface issue. i guess it depends on the quality of the replacement screen's firmware.

be careful of ultrafruit...i've read it's buggy...you probably want to try yuki/xbmod back to the future rom. just make sure you install the devstoragelock.cab so you can unlock your sd card before flashing another wp7 flavor.
i believe i responded to your original thread and asked which rom you were using and also if you performed the required magdlr prep steps? i don't think you ever answered. the prep steps being 10-services, 5-clear mbr, and 4-uselast24nand...then flash.
perform task29, install magdlr, perform prep, flash.

you need read how to install cabs for wp7. it's very diffeerent than wm6.5. you have to use the cab sender tool. get the base flash exe from my signature...the v2.1 flasher. then go here for info.

if you decide to progress further than the initial base the rest of the needed downloads are here.

the devstoragelock cab adds an app to your list of apps and follow screen. be sure to unlock the sd card if this rom doesn't fix the screen issue before trying flash back to wm6.5.

it's probably the replacement screen used by the previous owner. you should install android on sd...no flashing required. just reformat your sd to fat32. or you can install in nand.
either case i would recommend this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441462 release 34 for either the nand or sd version. the current releases are not very stable. you can see the version in my signature.

Ive tried android and i get stucked to the GO GO GO thing when I am flashing CWM...I dont know what the f is happening or if i am doing something wrong

I'm late to this thread.
OP - have you successfully installed the Yuki BTTF ROM for WP7? That ROM is super stable an no one has complained of the touch screen not working.
All of your posts don't give a conclusive answer that you've successfully installed that ROM. If you had installed it, then your SD card would be locked to that OS. If it were installed and the touchscreen weren't working, then you wouldn't be able to unlock the SD card, as you'd need to use the screen in order to select the storage lock app that you would have installed via cab sender.
Please clean this conversation up by listing exactly what steps you've done and provide links to the ROM's that you've tried.

He has tried installing HD2O and Pdajim's ROMs I believe. He says he installed BTTF and it didn't work which means his SD card is locked. I guess he has other cards to use for moving to android.
What part of this thread do you not get?

you have to use hd2toolkit found in the android for hd2 forum to install nand android. it's an extensive set of instructions on how to install nand android for the hd2. you cannot use magdlr to install nand android.
in order to install sd android, you have follow and setup certain things in magdlr to boot the sd android installation. for sd android you DO NOT flash anything.
go to the android for hd2 forum and read...read...read....ESPECIALLY if you want to flash nand android!

Cannot download from windows market after activation

Hello forum,
I am very new here. This is the first time I tried installing windows 7 rom on my phone and I am so glad that XDA community have made it so easy to do it. I installed PDAimatejam 7.5 tango latest rom posted in the forums. After installing the rom i setup everything and went to market but could not download anything it required activation code. So i got one from microsoft and entered it. The phone got activated however I still cant download from market. It goes to setup market account window and then fails to do so and gives me error code 8000FFFF. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

try with WiFi not cellular data...
if problem continue, make hard reset (settings - about - reset) and try enter Live ID again

your card is locked if you tried Yuki (BTTF) ROM... this rom is only which lock card.. if you not use Yuki ROM then simply is compatibility problem (card not damaged, you still can use it)....
if you locked card then first unlock it with sending DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab file to phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250869
then format it with
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/sdfmt3_1.zip
install and run, in option select "format size adjustment" to ON, format card
also if you have old Nokia symbian phone you can try format locked card (just skip when ask for unlock code)

Thanks I am trying that now. Btw what is the reason i cannot access market>? even after my device is activated. I think I will go back to android. Loved the interface though. This was my first time on windows mobile and i loved it really. I cannot access market so I think I will be missing a lot of things. I will give it a last try and then go back to android if I am unsuccessful yet again. In the mean time please keep posting ur suggestions. Really appreciate it. Thanks

first time in most case marketplace work sometimes you need to wait...
no rules...
also is better to use WiFi internet connection not data connection
also be sure you have hardware radio 2.12 or 1.15 flashed on phone..
also dont forget, HD2 device is not original WP7 device and anything can happen... also almost all problems with WP7 is related to incompatibility with SDcard...

Thanks. I had installed yuki to check if i could download from market.but it did not so i reverted back to pdaimatejam rom just to get sd card damaged message on first boot so I tried like what you said, installed yuki again so i could unlock the card and its giving me the same message on first boot too.

boot to magldr menu
* 10. Services, 4. UseLast24NAND
* 10. Services, 5. ClearSD MDR
* go to 5. USB Flasher and try flash Yuki ROM again
phone after flash must start WP7 and the you send cab file for unlock... this is only way to unlock card without old Nokia phone
p.s.

Yup thanks a lot. I did as you said and my sd in unlocked and i am back to pda rom. But still no market . I tried using wifi. but still cannot access it. It cannot detect my region. Right now Im in thailand. Could that be a reson? Market is not supported in Thailand? It tries to detect my region and then gives me error code 8000fffff. Ill wait till tomorrow and see if things get better. Anyway thanks a lot!!!! you guys rock.:good:

Thailand have marketplace
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/th-th/default.aspx
also go to settings - region+language and check region
maybe your Live ID already locked to other region? then maybe to open new Live ID? to change Live ID, go to Settngs - about - reset (this is hard reset) and after restart setup new account

I tried that. Made a new live id itself before activating the phone and used that one. but still i get error message when its trying to setup my marketplace. It says loading in country list then gives me error msg and asks to try later. Someone was telling me abt chaveron unlock or something like that? And what does market fix mean in this PDA rom? I thought market would be working out of the box. The version of windows is 7.10.8779.8. Everything is working like a charm except market . The phone is so snappy that I just dont want to go back to android. Will that chevron unlock thing help me? I dont want to try without asking because yuki rom already gave me enough trouble .

I feel so ashamed to bother a lot, but I know nothing about windows phone and I just cant get past this market thing. Thankyou very much for all your suggestions. Please if you dont mind do keep suggesting me some ideas untill i fix this damn thing.

forget chevron unlock... this is very old way unlock and not working with new ROM's... now all ROM's are full unlocked and this is 100% better than old chevron unlock
did you sync phone with Zune?
if nothing helps, try use US English marketplace... dont have any other suggestion...

This topic was opened for beginners and for those who have problems
friends help Public support will :good:
Please write here all your problems
I'm sorry for my bad english

nice idea for one topic where people can check problems and solve... maybe also good idea to add to first topic links with info for solutions to people can find easy....
here is my contribution:
Chinese region problem:
- this problem show when you use first time your Live account with WP7.8 ROM's... this is because all Chinese ROM's automatically lock to China region
SOLVE:
- try reset region (link in my signature) or open new Live account. flash "HD2_Pdaimatejam_Rom_Wp7.5_Tango_7.10.8779.8_v8.4". set your desired region and login with your new Live account. Downlod something from Marketplace to lock region. Now you can flash 7.8 ROM and use Live account...
Problem: 3G or data connection not working in latest Pdaimatejam ROM
- Solve: use 3G cab fix (first link in my signature).
For many other problems read install tutorial from my signature...

cabSend problem
I updated HTC HD2 to Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 OS 7.10.8858.136 RMT v8.7. This is my first WP7 ROM install. However, when I run CABsender.bat or wCabSender, update of any CAB always fails due error 0x800705B4 : timeout/not enough space. Computer sends CAB to the phone and then phone reboots. After reboot and MAGLDR phone stays black for 30 secs, than it shows "connect USB" image and after 30 seconds it reboots. WP7 says that update was unsuccessful, CAB sender reports error 0x800705B4 "Timeout/not enough space".
I have 4GB SD card and phone recognizes it fine (shows that I have 3.04 of 3.54 GB free). I tried to reflash phone ROM without SD-card, CAB sending has the same problem. I have read about this kind of problem, however it is not clear what can cause this issue.
P.S.although most of the phone and live services work fine, many programs like "Leo advanced", "Program manager", "Connection setup" do not launch.

Somehow it depends on the ROM you used. for example the below ROM developer clearly mentioned Low MIC Volume as "Known Minor Bugs" on his ROM thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953078

Hi
Well, I tried the latest wp 7.8 rom, trying this tutorial: Tutorial Windows Phone 7.8 On HTC HD2 15.Dec.2012 (Windows 8) Full English by JuicyBoose.
But I had a lot of troubles:
1 - Almost all apps don't work:
Office, ie.. etc won't even open!
2 - Wifi don't work:
I share my connection in my computer in wifi using connectify hotspot, it worked fine on android and WM6.5, but don't unable to connect using WP7.8
3 - WP7.8 don't read my memory card:
My Kingston 16Gb SDCard is not recognized...
4 - My changes are not saved:
After changing color of tiles, their size ... When I reboot the phone, it became red, with the same tile sizes in first boot.
Somebody save me? I'm really a huge fan of WP, but cannot run it on my htc LEO
Thanks in advance

I used pdaimatejam ROM, and unfortunately it didn't work fine.
I guess I'll try WP7.5, and try if those things will work on it

7.5 work better for me than 7.8. I could never connect to the internet with 7.8 and with 7.5, I never have a problem.
