[Q] HD2 wont boot android off SD

Hi guys i need help i feel like a newb i have put several different version of android on a 16gb SD card that i purchased today. (lost the original) and i cant get any version to boot. It will say jumping to kernel and will not boot past the htc screen.
I got this HD2 as a replacement in the mail last week.
my am size is 576 megs and my radio is 2.15.50.14
Any ideas???

You might want to reformat the SD to a FAT format. That format will work the best with Android on the HD2.

with fat intend fat32 ?

Hi,I have the exact same problem,I'm using the same radio as u.I use energy rom the latest one I think the problem is cause by the rom. with magldr android works fine.btw u need the sd to be formated to fat32. I say try to install a different rom it might help, i'm gonna try that out too.

i had tried 2 rom and the result is the same, i had format sd card but haret doesn't work

Did u try to flash to magldr 1.13 and then flash a nand android?
after all u want the android more than winmo 6.5 ,no?
I'm checking out now artemis rom with android soon will see how it works.

at the moment i don't want install android on nand, i want try android from sd with haret.
Before the hspl procedure, with the original rom all working good, now, with hspl 2.08 and custom rom no.

some one else posted the same question.and they found an answer m8.
say thx to this guy if works - h.nocturna
I think renaming to it's original name makes a huge difference!
If I were to rename to Android, it wouldn't start up anymore!

Click to collapse
so if u unrar an android build copy all of it and don't rename it to android or copy just the android folder.
and try to format it to FAT32 and 8kb clusters before.
I'm testing this out now,hope it works.

eureka !!!
i've update the radio with one up then 2.08,..... and now my leo is in android booting.
try it

what radio version your using?
still not working for me.. even from magldr sd...

2.10.50.08-2

ok thx ,I flashed the latest radio again,and android nand works and boot ad sd works too. so if it still won't work booting android from winmo I will downgrade my radio version seems like it works.

Phone freezes

Hey all, i have searched XDA and google but cannot find anything relating to my issue!
I have installed MAGLDR 1.3 and the clockwork recover mod tool.
Im running HSPL 2.08 - i have tried to install V3 but it only gives option for 2.08? I have used a suggested radio and installed the ultimate android rom.
Now the problem is that 5 times out of ten on boot up it sits at the MAGLDR menu with "gogogo" but it doesnt gogogo... Also it regularly freezes when doing anything intense! I suspect is related to the SD interface? I say this because copying any large files to the SD results in a timesout! i have tried the SD in other devices all works fine! I have tried several SD types and sizes all with same result!
Anybody have any suggestions? I dont believe its the rom becasue like i said booting up in MAGLDR results in freezes! PS i ahve Task29 and tried diff Radios..
Hope somebody can help
Thanks guys.

I suggest that you try reformatting your SD Card. Also it has been noted here that some SD cards don't work very well. Search for which. Then try installing Clockwork Recovery Mod. This will allow you to format the Nand to different sizes depending on the Phone you are using. The European HD2 LEO has a 512 Nand while the TMOBIUS American version is 1024. You can't install a nand that is intended for the American phone on the EU version. But you can install the smaller EU version on an American phone.
There is a lot to learn so search all of the different forums and all of the answers will be there.
Do not expect the answers to be spelled out easily. These people in these forums are mostly geeks who could care less whether you are a newby or not. Sink or swim.

Does your phone say T-Mobile on it?
Did u format your sdcard?

You should be in the Q & A forum, not this one.
Make sure you use 2.15 radio, and try a smaller rom like jan-willem3's MIUI as that does not rely on the SD card for data by default.

Android in my hd2 now!!

HI MATES,,,,i´ve just aquired the mitical hd2 wm phone for my collection and i need some help for start my own personalization...
1-i don´t want WM on my hd2 only android,,, is better via sd or via nand?
and what´s the better tutorial for to install android from WM 6.5???
i desire flash it to be able for to flash and try a lot of android roms of the hd2 i love sense 3
i´m looking for tutorials but there are a lot! i need the most easier...also i need to install a recovery menú of course...
thank´s mates!!!
see you here!!!

NAND is better than SD, but follow the steps below, and you can have both
Install HSPL
Flash a X.XX.50.XX radio (like the one in my sig)
Install MAGLDR
Install CWM Recovery with appropriate partition size for the ROM you intend to use (typically the partition size is listed in the first or second post of the ROM's thread)
Download MAGLDR NAND ROM, and place it at the root of your SD card.
Flash the ROM from CWM recovery (AD Recovery from the MAGLDR menu)
Download MAGLDR SD Android build
Extract SD buid .zip file to root of your sd card (so that all the files of the build are in their own folder on the root of your card, not all the files themselves on the root of the card)
In MAGLDR, go into Services-->Boot Settings-->AD SD Directory, and choose the folder where your SD Build is.
Now you can boot a ROM from NAND, and boot another Android build from your sd card.
It is a good idea to read all of the tutorials, and get familiar with what you are doing before you do it.
I recommend using the HD2 NAND Toolkit, as it makes flashing HSPL and CWM Recovery easy and convenient.
Just whatever you do, if you have a T-Mobile US HD2, DO NOT flash a X.XX.51.XX radio, or you will permanently brick your device. Just about any other screw ups can be fixed, but flash a 51 radio and you're screwed.
Again, read as much as you can, decide what ROM you want, and follow the steps I've laid out for you, and you can't go wrong.

Here is the best guide IMO. You shouldn't really ask questions like this though, I don't think its right to say 'Android in my HD2 now' and expect everyone to help you, despite there being hundreds of other threads on the same topic, asking the same question and getting the same responses. In future, use the search tool.

I am in... after long search.

Hey guys I am in!!. After a long search I managed to get an hd2 ... and I am getting used to it. The first thing I do is I put magldr 1.13, cement 3.xxx, then put latest miui rom ( man I have never seen such an eyecady android ever).
Since I am a newbee to hd2, pls help me with some doubts
1) can I instal wp7 and any android to nand at the same time? Or I have to keep Andy in SD inorder 2 dual boot?
2) can I use supercharger script. Also pls help me to add tweeks to hd2( like scripts, mods, etc) .pls post some links 2 those.
3) where are the latest radios? I managed 2 find only one.
4) does chrot work on hd2, I have read about it in LG optimus2x forum. And I am interested in installing backtrack in hd2.
5) magldr always boot into the os directly, and hence I can't go to cwm from any app, nor can't flash zips using rom manager. For that I always have 2 go2 adrecovery from magldr menu, which takes me into cwm. And I am not sure if cwm is in nand or SD. Pls clear it to me.
6) what is about partitioning? Various roms require various sizes, and it confuses me. I can't install nexus HD rom( android 4. Ported 2 hd2). It installs and don't boot at all. Where I can instal miui which I am using now.
7) which one is better magldr or clk? What are the differences?
Pls help me...
Thankz in advance .
send from my hd2 @ miui 1.12.2

let me get a crack at this lol.
1. i believe only one os can be on nand only, ive seen people boot nand wp7 and android sd
2. i use the supercharger script which is great and use option 9, its in the android hacking forum.
3. the only radio you should probably be concerned and using (since there tested for compatibality lol ) is the 2.x.50.x radio ( preferably 2.15.50 for android)
4.never heard of chrot lol. sorry
5. rom manager now supports the hd2 and recovery is in nand.
6. some roms require different system partions to run correctly so there is ample wiggle room for the os to run smooth and butter.
7. there both great bootloaders, i wont state whats better, but i use magdlr since its the first one i used, and i really liked it and have gotten accustomed to it.
hope i answered your questions man and good luck!

i'm gonna try to answer too!

with stock EVERYTHING, only WM6.5 can be in the NAND. MAGLDR supports only ONE OS in NAND at a time (either Android or WP7). so the other OS can be on sd card only. and the only OSes one can boot from sd card are Android and Ubuntu.
the above paragraph should help you determine all the possible combinations.
2) can I use supercharger script. Also pls help me to add tweeks to hd2( like scripts, mods, etc) .pls post some links 2 those.

honestly, most of the custom ROMs here are already tweaked enough to my liking. for some tweaks, you can use apps like "spare parts+" and "rom toolkit" etc. the rest is all customizations:
1. skins - if using a cyanogenmod Android, then theme switcher is built in. if using an HTC Sense Android, then theme switcher is already built in. most "simpler" ROMs may require a lot of work on your part to tweak the look n feel.
2. wallpapers - easy! changing wallpapers is built into all Android ROMs
3. ringtones & alerts - easy! changing these is built into all Android ROMs
4. apps - go to the market place (on Android or WP7) and download whatever you want!
and so on...
3) where are the latest radios? I managed 2 find only one.

see my signature where i've written my radio version. click it to go to the master list of HD2 radio ROMs. i guess sticking to the 2.15 version is recommended by most people.
4) does chrot work on hd2, I have read about it in LG optimus2x forum. And I am interested in installing backtrack in hd2.

are you talking about the "chroot" command in linux? i just tried to run it in my Android's terminal emulator and it works. if you are talking about a way to grant root access to applications that request it on Android, then yes again. most custom Android ROMs here are already "rooted".
5) magldr always boot into the os directly, and hence I can't go to cwm from any app, nor can't flash zips using rom manager. For that I always have 2 go2 adrecovery from magldr menu, which takes me into cwm. And I am not sure if cwm is in nand or SD. Pls clear it to me.

isn't it nice that MAGLDR boots into your default ROM automatically? to access the MAGLDR menu, reboot the device, and hold down the power/endcall button until the MAGLDR menu comes up.
CWM is in the NAND (these days), but CAN be on the sd card if you want. it takes less than 5MB of your NAND. this will be more clear if you pay attention to the contents of "flash.cfg" when you are performing the MAGLDR partitioning using "DAF.exe" on your desktop.
6) what is about partitioning? Various roms require various sizes, and it confuses me. I can't install nexus HD rom( android 4. Ported 2 hd2). It installs and don't boot at all. Where I can instal miui which I am using now.

there are two kinds of partitioning we discuss on xda:
1. NAND partitioning - done with MAGLDR. a few MB for the recovery (CWM), followed by a big chunk of memory for the ROM itself, followed by a few MB for the cache, followed by a big chunk of memory for user data. most of the ROMs these days are "heavy", so they expect a partition size that can store the full ROM after unzipping, so the chunk remaining for the cache partition and the user data partition is sometimes barely enough. as a result, some Android ROMs now require an sd card partitioning (see next point) so that they can store part of the ROM in the NAND and the rest of it on the "sd-ext" partition (usually an ext3 or ext4 partition, among others).
2. SD Card partitioning - done via a desktop tool (like "minitool") or via CWM's menu options. the desktop tool will obviously give you a lot more flexibility when performing the partitioning but some ROMs seem to work best if your card is partitioned via CWM's menus. keep in mind that CWM will remove your existing FAT32 partition (so backup the data on the FAT32 partition!!!), then it will create all the partitions (including the FAT32 one) from scratch. typical partitioning is FAT32+1GB ext3 or FAT32+1GB ext4 or FAT32+1GB ext3+128MB linux swap, and so on...
7) which one is better magldr or clk? What are the differences?
Click to expand...

neither...you can search for a detailed comparison between the two. to summarize:
MAGLDR pros: supports WP7, dual booting (between NAND and sd card), detailed NAND partitioning, tetris!
MAGLDR cons: doesn't support PPP (a way to access your mobile network's data connection). only RMNET is supported (RMNET is another way to access the data connection, but slower than PPP). doesn't allow charging the device if completely powered OFF...need the WP7 or Android OS to boot up before it can charge the battery. finally, has an "ugly" screen that appears between the splashscreens on boot up.
CLK pros: supports PPP, allows charging the device when OFF, and doesn't interrupt the splashscreens on boot up.
CLK cons: works only to boot an Android ROM, cannot use CLK to boot WP7 or to dual boot. CLK is not 100% supported on some ROMs. most ROMs these days are "dual" but the experience may be less/more stable on the CLK version of the same ROM.
i believe neither MAGLDR nor CLK can pick the WIFI and Bluetooth MAC addresses from the NV-RAM of the device. the only mechanism i know to achieve this is to boot an sd card Android from within WM6.5...or to use an sd card Android whose kernel supports custom specification of MAC addresses from a config file on the sd card.
most Android kernels these days "generate" a unique WIFI MAC address and Bluetooth MAC address so that no two HD2s running these ROMs will have the same MAC address.
i'm not sure how the WP7 ROMs solve this problem...maybe Android is the only OS for the HD2 that has to "generate" MAC addresses.
Pls help me...

hit the thanks button on this post to REALLY thank me

fantastic! haha. well done. indepth as well sir

Yap, i got the points. But dudes i am a previous owner of wildfire. So i know some of the things already. Such as sd partitioning. Tweeking using scripts etc. But i am new to nand partitioning. Is it like the one we do for wildfire ( allocating extra unused memory from rom partition to user partition so that user need not to move that much apps to sd. And ofcourse it will give u upto 150mb extra memory for user data).
I am not asking about root. Itz chroot. Its the linux command from terminal to mound other linux os like backtrack etc. If it qorks, where can i find such an os?
Also about tweeks. It not the app or wallpaper stuff. Itz advanced user tweeks like installing bravia engine, beatz audio,kernal, rom, ram tweekz etc..
Also i want to know if i can get a custom cwm recovery which is highwr than 3.xxx, man wildfire is now reaching cwm 5+. Then why r we still in 3. Also my cwm dont wipes my battery log. What my be the prblm? I have cwm 3.xx( the latest offered by rommanager.

[Q] how to install windows 7 on hd2??

Hey guys. i have recently bought a used htc hd2, running android 4,0..i want to install windows 7 on my phone.. so if any of u could provide me some help regarding that..and also i want to ask whether icould dual boot hd2 with windows seven and android or not..

read tutorial from my signature...
only way for dualboot is flash WP7 to NAND and partition SDcard for WP7 and android... but from my experience is better to have two sdcard.... one for WP7 and other for Android with native SD... is much faster and stable

how to install windows 7 on hd2??
thanks man..but how do i erase the previouly installed android 4.0 in my phone ?? i dont know on which format it's been installed and how to install those softs in it??
