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

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.

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?

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] HD2 hangs on bootscreen

Hi guys,
I've been searching for an answer in the forum but can't seem to find one here. Hope that you all can help me out with this.
I've flashed to Android from WM6.5 and it will hang at the bootscreen HTC logo. It won't boot into Android. This happens to both SD and NAND versions. This all started a few months ago when I flashed to WP7 and flashed back to WM6.5 and didn't have time to play with Android. Tried various versions of Android and it still hang at the bootscreen HTC logo.
I'm using:
Radio: 2.15.50.14
HSPL: 2.08
Latest MAGLDR
Latest DAT
Can someone please help/advise me? Thanks in advance.

do you make proper nand (internal memory) partition for the roms (5-18-5,5-400-5 etc.)?
if you have leo 512,do you have sd-ext partition?

you should an external partition on your sd
first partition the bigger would be fat32
and the second partition (1GB) ext4 or ext3
then try to run the android again....

Hi guys,
Thanks so much for your help. I'm not sure if I'm doing things correctly. So I've re-read the tutorials again on partitioning my HD2. I've the 512MB version.
The Android Rom that I want to flash to is this NDT SENSE 3.0 PYRAMID SE V4.0[APP2SD+][Raf 2.0 OC] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185087
Recomended Recovery is 5-160-5
1. I used the HD2 NAND Toolkit to partition my HD2 with 160MB as Partition System with 5MB Cache.
2. I formated my 8GB Transcend microSD and partitioned it 1GB ext2 (primary) and 2GB ext3 (logical) and 5GB FAT32 (logical)
3. I flashed it using DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
4. Flash Recovery with edit "flash.cfg" with the recommended settings.
5. Then I Wipe full data and Advance - Dalvik cache on Recovery Menu is recommand
Funny thing... When I tried to do this, it says that there's no SD card in it. Does this mean that my microSD is not supported or do I need a smaller capacity microSD?
I hope you guys can help me with this noob question. Thanks again.

2nd step is wrong.do it that way:2 gb ext3 or ext4(primary)-the remaining part fat32(primary). dont use logical.dont make ext partitions more than one.g
after you have made nand partition with toolkit you have nothing to do with daf (this will repeat the same procedure as toolkit does)
first prepare your sd,put it in phone then partition nand.
now go in mgldr-ad recovery-wipe data factory reset.
lastly flash your rom and reboot.

Hey mutil. Thanks a lot!!!! HD2 running on Android now!!! WOooHOOooo

[Q] ROM Partitioning

Hi all,
I managed already to flash some different ROM into the NAND of my HD2. Right now I´m trying out MIUI_GINGER_2.3.7_STABLE_V4.1. Although many readers are reporting brilliant performance and behaviour of the ROM, my device is coming up with "not additional memory" error message when I try and install the first app from market right after new installation.
Can some expert please tell me:
1. How can I read out the current partition settings of my device?
2. How do you usually change partition sizes (using HD2 Android NAND Toolkit?)
3. Somebody tell me the optimal partition sizes for the above mentioned MIUI ROM?
Thanks upfront for your help!
Peter

Easy way to rectify this is go to hd2 toolkit set the system partion to 130, and the cache size to 2, let it do its thing, in cwm format and wipe everything, and reinstall rom. Ive ran it before with over 100+ apps before with plenty left over. Let me kno how it fares!

Seems I´m doing something wrong. :-(
1. I´m doing a task29
2. Via cLK Repartition I´m applying the partition data you mentioned above
3. I´m installing MAGLDR
With this status I´m not able to install my ROM without having repartitioned the device once again via MAGLDR Repartition. The result is, that I have no more than 0,93 MB memory left after having installed the OS.
How do I install the ROM correctly via CWM?
Many thanks,
Peter

Why on Earth would you use the cLK repartition function when you have MAGLDR installed?
I would just use the 150Mb partition at the end of this guide, it fits the requirements set by the OP exactly.

[Q] Stuck on green htc logo after flashing NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V3.0b to NAND

hi all,
so i've been trying this out for two days and no luck also i've searched for it on the forums
so what i've done so far:
-installed 2.08.HSPL
-the 2.15.50.14 radio
-installed MAGLDR
-flashed CMW with a partition with 200 system 5 cache
flashed the rom via zip installation
and it rebootes and just freezes on the green htc logo on the black background for over an hour and i did a task 29 wipe and stated allover again but with no luck... what am i missing here ?
also how do i prepare my sd so i can install data on ex for that rom ? like from the beggingin what should i do?
and have i mentioned im a noob

Are you sure you're doing NAND install? Or NAND with data on EXT? Cause if you're not having EXT partition on SD card - it's not gonna work for sure (explains why you're stuck on loading screen I guess)
"flashed the rom via zip installation" - make sure you're using correct type of install, out of ideas if you're doing it with NAND (ONLY) option.

well i am sure im installing on NAND because i chose it from the AROMA installer..
say i will flash it on NAND with data on EXT for a change , can you direct me to the right steps for partitioning the sd ?
because all the guides i saw here for prepairing the sd were applicable after i install the rom on NAND ...

The easiest way is to backup your sdcard first, because this will wipe it completely. Go into recovery, then advanced and finally choose partition sd card. I suggest choosing 1024MB, and 0 swap. It will take a while, then return your stuff back into the card and try installing the ROM again.
Or, you can use a desktop software to partition it (use google).

thanks for replying ..
so i partitioned my sd and installed the rom on NAND with data on EXT and my phone still stops at the green htc on black logo
what am i missing here ? has this ever occurred before ?

Are you sure you're using wipe option before installing a new rom? (Task29 @ HTC HD2 ToolKit) cause if you're doing it without any wipeout of your phone memory it won't work either, if it's not that, then I'm out of ideas.
However, Ill make a step-step guide, atleast one which I do before flashing new rom.
#1 wipe, Task29
#2 repartition for the system memory etc, I choose 200mb for system (need some space for additional mods xd)
#3 Install MAGLDR
#4 I don't repartition my SD everytime (moving 30gbs out of it is a pain tbh), but find repartitioning of SD card in Recovery, repartition it to EXT4 format
#5 move your rom .zip to sd card after the SD card is partitioned
#6 install the ROM through CWM, should work after that, make sure that you ALREADY have SD CARD PARTITIONED if you're using NAND+DATA on EXT option, cause otherwise it won't work
I always do it this way and it works, correct me if I missed something there cause I'm already doing it without thinking.

Look my signature and mark your bad blocks for once. After that try to flash rom again with bigger system partition.

OK , I've solved the problem .. i flashed cLK and everything went great ..
i guess something's wrong with MAGLDR and my phone .. thanks everyone for replying

[Q] 4ext won't recognize my NAND, can't install NAND ROM

Hi,
decided to start using my HD2 again, this time with a NAND ROM instead of NativeSD.
Got Magldr 1.13, using recovery_4EXT2.2.7_leo_sd.
I can boot into 4ext and try to install a new NAND ROM,(ChauTien_Cyanogen_4.4.2_V2.0, Slimroms JellyBean 4.3.1 Build2.1 Final).
Aroma installer complains that my NAND is -1 MB :/
How do I go about fixing that?
Thanks

just partition your nand correctly for your rom and flash.
Says -1mb if no android there.

Never done that before. 4ext print partition info only lists the sd card :|
I tried CWM SD but it just reboots.
I've downloaded DFT Android ROM for HTC LEO, and there is a cfg file with the partition layout, trying to figure out the sizes for the ROMs I'd like to try.
I've been searching a bit and found mention of flashing TMOUS radio to get more memory on the EU variant, do you remember what exact radio should I flash?

The radio in your sig is fine
For eu hd2 try dataonext, with an ext4 partition on your sd card, and use a large system partition (up to 400mb)

Ah, the thing is I'd rather not waste sdcards on the hd2 (no small cards left .
DFT didn't work, I guess it's a driver problem, and google_android drivers won't install on win7 x64.
