[Install Q] Installing DataOnExt, after? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey Everybody,
first of all, Happy Merry Christmas,
guys, I try to understand if what I looking for can be done or if there is some way to do so.
I find many NAND Android ROMs which are without DataOnExt, for example HyperDroid-CM7.
But I will be glad to know if can be possible to install DataOnExt after flashing the ROM on NAND.
someone can tell me if this is possible? Please...
Cheers in advance..

Dear Marvlesz,
I was writing a PM to you just to ask you about that but I changed my mind and I opened this thread,
I saw that thread and like always you make me a criminal
That thread is a lot too complicated to make it right, there is not any easy way?
I mean flash DataOnExt anfter installation or something similar?

Haha, I am not making you a criminal or anything, but rather YOU are making yourself a criminal.
I mean seriously, here is a quote of that post:
How is this done?
The Easy way - Thanks to @Kokotas (Note that I have not updated Kokotas' .zip file to include the recent changes (20th October 2012) (See The Long Way below)
Visit the post (quoted below), thank @Kokotas, download the .zip from the post, flash it in recovery and lets us know how it goes. Did I tell you to make sure you have a NANDROID backup?

The only thing left is to ask us to flash the zip for you, come on!
It couldn't be any easier!
Please always .. oh forget it.
Enjoy.

I noticed that you rarely thank those who try to help you, or even manage to help you!
Thanks by words is not beneficial for them as much as pressing the thanks button. The button is there for a reason.
I also ask you kindly to go over your past threads, such as the almighty battery life thread, and thank everyone who tried to help you. Not just by saying "Thanks!", but by pressing their thanks button!
An example is shown on the above post, the thanks button is located right next to the "Quote" button.

I click thanks for you.
Last one thing, the DataOnExt have to be flasher via recovery, buy I do not have the recovery installed on my Phone, I got Android on NAND which was installed via MAGLDR in Flasher Mode.
Now if I will flash the Recovery my Android will be deleted, right?
I can't find any explanation for this, do I have reinstall all again?

I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall everything from scratch .
Why are you using the flasher anyway? All ROMs that use flasher are old and outdated .
(By the way, I didn't mean just thank me, I meant everyone.)

ACA Gingerbrad was only in this way before the release of 13-12-12 for NativeSD and NAND also via Recovery.

not so, , , OP could use cwm that runs from sd card, and use that to flash the dataonext.zip to the current android, , HOWEVER, , the fact that he has no cwm on there already tells us that the version of android he is using is probably the original proof of concept (desire stock) and may or may not work with an ext anyway (its not rooted, for a start), so OP would be better picking a more up to date rom anyway (one with dataonext built in would be a good start) and flashing again anyway.

I did that on one of my two HD2, 1 have Gingerbrad and the another one have ICS 4.0.4 but currently ICS give me big problems to run programs which Gingerbrad do not have. On ICS I can install the apps but they crash after run them.
So now I try to keep my Gingerbrad but expand it with DataOnExt, anyway run CWM from sd is a good idea, I will give a shot on that, if something go wrong I will reinstall all from scratch again.

I was skeptical when I wrote that sentence, because I knew you'd come and say something like that. Because that happened before.
But I also wanted him to cope with the rapid development of the HD2 and the recoveries. Besides, that ROM is outdated anyway, i.e. the ACA gingerbread.

Android vs WP7 vs WP6.5(???) vs MeeGo vs Ubuntu
2) Are there any way only "install" this os on a sd card, and i can change a sd card?? Eg. 8gb sd for wp6.5, 4gb for android
3) Can i not "flash" my phone, only "install" a os in my hd2?
4) Will install hspl will broke my warranty?
5) What difference between HSPL and SPL???
6) Which bootloader was the best? GEN.Y???
7) What was the most popular android vesion for HD2?
8) Can i have multi os? more then 2?
9) Will i "install" android on hd2, not "flash", also will broke my warranty?

12) What is "Ship ROM"?
13) What is radio?
All answered!

16) Are this Android build have flash?
There are lots of question...
Pls answer me
Thanks.
You need to do a lot more reading.
WM6.5 came with the HD2 and is outdated but some still like it.
Meego is not yet completed/available.
Ubuntu works but isn't really perfect as a mobile phone OS IMHO.
Android or Windows Phone 7 are your two main options.
There is only one version of WP7 available from DFT and it works pretty perfectly. WP7 has a unique and slick user interface and works quite well. The problem with WP7 is connecting to windows live services for the market, etc.
Android is the favorite of many here.
There are many versions available 2.2, 2.3, sense, stock, CM, etc.
WP7 and Android can be flashed using MAGLDR.
You cannot flash multiple operating systems at once.
A shipped rom is one provided by the manufacturer when you buy the phone.
The radio is part of the software that allows communication between the OS and the various radios" (GPS, WIFI, 3G, BT).
Thanks for reply!
But there are still some question u have not answer me yet.
Are there any way only "install" this os on a sd card, and i can change a sd card?? Eg. 8gb sd for wp6.5, 4gb for android <-- Added, Can i install WP7 in SD Card?
Can i not "flash" my phone, only "install" a os in my hd2?
Will install hspl will broke my warranty?
What difference between HSPL and SPL???
Which bootloader was the best? GEN.Y???
Will i "install" android on hd2, not "flash", also will broke my warranty?
If my phone broken (eg. mon broke, water inside the phone), which i cannot flash back to stock rom, what should i do?
Can i backup my rom??? <-- This one is the most important
In order...
You can install (and run) Android from the SD card. But not WP7.
Install and flash are basically the same thing. Unless you are running Android from the SD card.
Yes... HSPL is not acceptable to manufacturers or operators (a little bit like kiddy-fiddling and the police). You can 'uninstall' HSPL though.
SPL doesn't allow you to flash 'custom' ROMs, only official ROMs.
Your bootloader question makes no sense.
Installing Android isn't the issue with your warranty. You will most probably have flashed HSPL to get Android... that will break your warranty. You can use an SD version of Android with the latest official WWE ROM and Radio however... but are YOU able to flash the WWE ROM in your country without HSPL?
If you get water in the phone I would throw it in the toilet and flush it if i were you. Most providers do not cover water damage. Anything else, just flash back an official ROM and return it for replacement.
Yes, you can backup your ROM. By using ClockWorkMod, you can create backups.

If you return your device to HTC repair center and thy see HSPL, you don't will have warranty. But if you install HSPL, and if for one or a other reason you need to send your device to HTC repair center just remove HSPL, (yes you can remove it) Ons it's bean removed there are no trace that it was bean install so there is/are no problem more.
What difference between HSPL and SPL???
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SPL = Secondary Program Loader. Think of this in the same sense as bios on a pc. (it sets where your system boots from, intialises sub system process etc)
SSPL = soft spl (this allows you to flash another spl or hardspl).
HSPL = Hard Spl.
HardSPL is involved in unlocking your phone to install a custom ROM that is not signed by carrier. Without unlocking you can only install ROMs from your carrier.
Which bootloader was the best? GEN.Y???

All depends sir, if you will use/install Android on internal memory you need to have/install HSPL, and about this I have reply the previous question.
If you will used Android running from your SD, well then you need to know that Android needs minimum Radio 2.08.50 if this is your case; well than no problem.
If you have a earlier Radio for example Radio 2.07. well if you don't will to change your stock ROM who have a newer radio; well than you need to install HSPL for upgrading your radio (again take a look on HSPL)
If my phone broken (eg. mon broke, water inside the phone), which i cannot flash back to stock rom, what should i do?

Well water inside your device don't fall into the warranty condition, so if there is HSPL ore a other Rom, it don't mater anymore.

There are backup programs on the market. But what exactly do you mean with "Backup your ROM"??? I mean mostly peoples are looking for backup there contact list/mail/sms. But ROM????

5) That was very hard to understand unless you have Phd in random translation of arse vomit. but ill try...
As already stated earlier you can run android from either your SD card which doesn't require any installation you simply boot from it OR you can flash a ROM to your phone.
7) No you need to downgrade to 2.08. afaik.
lol believe it or not I read the whole thing and I was wondering same thing. Then I even scrolled up to look and make sure if he actually edited his original post and amended the question and didn't see it. By the time I got to your last post lol I was laughing out loud IRL.
But advice for him is he does pick WM on NAND go with WM6.5.X as base 29XXX is much more stable and from /sdcard he can use Android. Taking he has good microSDHC that is over class 4+ that is.
Can't beat: HD2 WM6.5.X(NAND) and Android(mSD).

It don't work.
Sorry to say, but almost all your questions are mentioned on the instruction post of each rom builder.
You don't need to looking for a answer if you don't follow the instructions. just follow them and all will be okay.
It's the same thing if you have a diesel car you pout diesel in it and you don't ask you the question what if I put engine in my diesel car.

That post's instruction HAVE NO ANYTHING about SPL/HSPL
So i decided asking here...
I have corssed out all the question now and i have put all the question to the #1 Post
Dude you are confusing but ill try to clarify from what you posted. You want to install NAND Android from SPL? WTF you need to have HSPL which HD2 are you using? Leo512/Leo1024? Why don't you want HSPL? Afraid of voiding the warranty?
As I said your best option for "you" is WM(NAND)+AOSP(mSD), far as the sdcard question goes you might want to go with 16gb class 4-6. As 4-8gb is way to small but you can use it if you don't have alot of media.

Hmm... Seems my english was so... bad...
ok, now i retold you all the details with my "best" english xD
I want to install a RAM version of Android 2.2, i will buy a 4gb(or 8gb) class 10 sd card later, but i have a "few" question: I want ANDROID(RAM)+STOCK WM6.5(original one, which one have already installed when u buy the phone)
I am going to install this Android build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518
But in that thread, the install instruction, it is not very cleared, so i decided to ask here...
I have upgraded my ROM recently, and now my SPL was 3.03.000, and u have said that ANDROID WILL NOT WORK ON HD2, so i am asking what should i do to use Darkstone's Android in my HD2.
Do i need to install HSPL?
Which version of HSPL will be suitible for me?
Any tutorial that teaches me to install hspl?
AND I AM NOT AFRAIDING IT WILL VOID MY WARRANTY, BECAUESE IT CAN BE UNINSTALLED! I have search through google, are i can restore my phone to NON-HSPL if i put the leoimg(or sth) in the sd card, and press some thing to make it restore, or just flash my ship rom?
And i have some EXTRA QUESTION i want to ask:
Firstly, how to uninstall Darkstone's Androind? Just delete the folder in the SDCard?
Secondly, are Android 2.2 on HD2 will support flash?
That's all my question, thanks for help.
Make sense now as I didn't keep up with the whole HD2 world after I lost my Leo. It was my mistake I see the Android being allocated from RAM now I thought you wanted to install it on NAND. Also where did I say Android will not work on HD2? I thought you wanted Nandroid lol thats all.
You keep editing your freaking posts man I can't keep up but as you are trying to use RAM Android you will not be affected so don't worry about it as I stated above it was my mistake. Skip the whole HSPL convo and yes it will not void your warrenty cuz you didn't and don't need installing in first place. But if you do then yes you can use leo.img to restore it.
Now dude I have read the whole instruction and its very clear so my question to you is why are you asking? Just download and place it on your /sdcard and then CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe there are like 10000s of tutorials on howto do this lol if you need to watch video then thats your last worry, just use FileExp. So if you don't like it just format the mSD hope it helps for what its worth.

[Q] Need help to install MIUIJaws on my HD2!!

Hi everyone!!
Well, this is not my first time flashing an android ROM on my HD2, but... this is my first time with Clockwork!
And, I'm lost...
I want this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902013
And I really don't know how this work, 'cause even if I check the forum about clockwork mod ( yep, I'm french! ), I don't get it...
So, does anyone can make a step by step installation for me please? This will be the only things I'll ask, it's just to understand how to used CWM!
Just, imagine I only got a fresh install of MAGLDR 1.11, and... please tell me what to do next! I don't know if I should partition My SD card, or if CWM do it himself, or etc.
For this one, I don't want the data on my FAT32 partition's, but on the ext3/4(? don't know what I must choose between those ) partition.
And, really, thanks for all that's really great work on our HD2! Probably the best Mobile I'd get in my life!!
PS: as I told it before, sorry for my bad english, I'm french... thank you.
well you should post aboit it in lesjaws post and not here..
anyway, have a look on my post #964

in JawsMIUI so thats may help you or if not and you will still have a probs with something just post it there not here. Not everyone checking all posts here on XDA so you have a better chance someone will help you cos all user of JawsMIUI checking the posts about JawsMIUI. And many are actually subscribed to it like me so I always receive notification email if some new is posted there.
And about ext partition, u need to know so many people have an issues with this option including me so I using data.img instead and its woks great.

thanks for your tutorial, it will really help me!
I always prefer ext partition... but if you tell me data is okay, well, I'm gonna try it! Some people tell me they have problem with data corrupted...
By the way, does data use the battery, less, more or equal to ext partitions?
you're welcome.
You can also express your gratitude in just clicking the thanks-icon at the bottom of my post.
About the battery usage, I can't tell u if there is a difference between ext & data.img cos ext didn't work for me and after I haven't tried it anymore.
EDIT:Let me know if u need any more help and also post the info when u finish the flash and if is all OK.
Cheers

HTC HD2 - Changing to Android. Pls Help

Hi,
I have just purchased a new HTC HD2 on T-Mobile (U.K.) and I am loving it !
I am a total novice and wish to change from Windows 6.5 to the better latest Android OS.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this? I have no idea what I am doing and do not want to do something which may jeopardise the phone (I do know that it does affect the warranty) The only thing I know about 'Flash' it flashing my mobile in public.
I would really like if someone can give me Step by Step instructions via a video so I can see what I am doing.
Any feedback would be really appreciated.
Many thanks

Don't rush anything. Make sure you have a good idea about what you're doing and what you can do if things go wrong. If you're unsure about anything just use the search feature first and if you're still iffy about something, ask a question.

I think you are making this harder than it needs to be. Just follow the instructions given to you in your previously started thread about the same thing. The link to MSkip gives you detailed instructions on how to install Android on your HD2 and how to revert back to WM6.5 if you so desire.

Thanks for the reply. What is the latest version of Android for HTC HD2? The link you gave me, is that the latest version?
Google is your friend. Haven't used it in a while. If you are that unsure of flashing Android to your HD2 just buy an Android powered phone. Sorry to be so brash but just follow the instructions.

DoctorGore said:
I'll try to explain a bit. First off you've got to install the things that let you install Android in the first place (HSPL, MAGLDR, CWM etc) and after that you install a ROM. A ROM is the thing that will decide what version of Android you phone will have. If you don't like the ROM you have, or if you just want the newest version of Android, all you have to do is change it. You don't have to re-install everything again, just your ROM.
You might have to change your CWM partition size when you choose a new ROM, but the chef (person who made the ROM) will let you know what size you need in the thread. This is also easy and doesn't require you to re-install everything. Don't worry if you don't know what a CWM partition is because it'll make sense eventually.

Can I use any of the ROM's?

[Q] after trying to delete main google account my phone stuck on "droid" screen

[Q] after trying to delete main google account my phone stuck on "droid" screen
I just wanted to change the main google account to enter the market. I just made a little search and I sth. says that "open root explore, go data=> system => find accounts.db and rename it accounts.db.bak" I've that this and nothing changed. Another one was saying "Go Applications=>Manage Applications google apps clear" I've done it too but no difference again. then I see this vid /watch?v=aFinbsXqTE0, system=> framework => rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak" but after the "force close" the phone reset itself and stuck on "droid" screen.
somebody tell me what to do, please

Part of the forums rules is not to use foul language by the way, I don't care but some people might so you should refrain from doing so.
As for your problem, you will probably have to follow the above post's advice. I don't understand why you couldn't have just changed the account through the market? Why bother with root explorer and deleting/renaming potentially crucial files? Makes no sense.
Finally, I got some answers! I feel like I'm in Fringe or sth.

-story time
My phone came from Germany and I live in Turkey. There are so many taxes and prices are higher and higher.
-
I remember that it was firstly opening as windows m. (white back, green front) and then turns a screen that loads android and keeps going. I guess that means ROM. how do we do hard reset? or reflash? thanks.

Then sorry for the word. I hope that It wouldn't be problem for the admin. actually in the subtitles of the movies, they translate it as "hell", "damn" or etc.
-story again
I used it with my simcard at the first week when I get my phone and entered the market with a HTC sense account. But after the first week my damn operator closed the my phone to calling because of I haven't registered it yet with a passport. Then I have to use it without the card until I find a passport and when I took off the simcard the HTC sense passed away and when I tried to open market it asked me the password of the account and I had no idea about it.

Download the HD2 NAND toolkit, boot your phone into bootloader, connect USB to computer and run a Task29. This will clear everything from your phone. From here you can flash radio, magldr, cwm and ROM as normal

I've just done the work with the toolkit! but it doesn't seems like I've done it with the phone. It's showing me the white screen with green htc sign since a few minutes. I don't know if I have to do sth. else

Just listen to me. First flash winmo to see if everything is ok and to setup device sync (driver)

OK, I'll listen to you. 4shared.com is forbidden in Turkey so that there are problems with downloading from this webside, so I couldn't download the document you sent me first.

Thank you for this thread.
I own and maintain 2 HTC HD2s (T-Mo edition), and both have been using custom Android NAND-based ROMs ever since I got the phones. The issue is that with time, there are more and more random bugs and reboots. Like a ROM suddenly crashing and rebooting, and upon reboot some programs are missing (needs a reboot or a reboot + Dalvik clear to fix), or other strange stuff happens such as available internal memory suddenly jumps to zero (that one only happened once). I feel like despite my best attempts to do clean installs, something's been accumulating and messing things up.
For reference, I have been using SuperWipe as of late, but while it does free up more internal space, it still does not help. My go-to ROM has been Gingerbread MIUI, which has been smooth and stable, but even with that ROM my phones have been crashing a lot lately and exhibiting various bad behavior. I've tried Gingerbread ROMs as well as 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.4 variants so far over time and have changed internal partition sizes accordingly.
What is the best course of action here? I'm thinking complete wipe and reinstall of everything from scratch. Does that mean I need to reflash HSPL and start from there? It's been a while since I've done that, so I'm trying to remember all the steps. Any general suggestions or ideas about what might be causing the increasingly aberrant behavior?

Hi Photoelectric,
I can only assume that you suffer from bad NAND blocks caused by too many flashings and/or bad a flash. Maybe this points you to a direction where you can check for yourself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189544
A tutorial how to check is included in the first post. If bad blocks are the cause of your problems I assume that setting up your ROMs as NativeSD circumvents your phones bad behaviour. @Robbie P, kuzibri, rirozizo am I right?
Kind regards

It could be bad blocks causing Photoelectric's problems, it would be good to find out where they are in nand and increasing the size of the partition they reside in.
if using clk see second post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279582
if using mgldr, after switching off android, go to magldr menu/services/dmesg to sd and look at file dmesg.txt on sdcard. Somewhere in there there may be reference to bad blocks and what partition they are in, post dmesg.txt here if in doubt.
