Can somebody please give me very explicit instructions on how to save my current ROM to either a 512MB SD card or a file on my PC.
I would like to try different ROMS but cannot afford to permanently break anything.
I have tried XDA tools but cannot get it to write the image to either my hard disk or the SD card. Do I need to format the SD card to be a bootable card first? Do I need to use a special filename in XDA tools?
Should I be able to save the ROM to SD from bootloader mode - if so how, and again do I have to format the SD card in a special way first?
Finally having got a ROM image how can I check that I can recover before blowing all I have away?
Apologies for asking dumb questions but I am getting nervous in my old age.
My current setup is an O2 XDA2
Rom Ver 1.60.00WWE
ROM Date 12/03/03
Radio Ver. 1.10.00
Protocol Ver. 1337.18
ExtROM Ver. 1.60.50
Both the upgrade rom and the launch rom are available on the O2 site.
Hi Guys
First sorry for my english I hope you can understand what I meen
I updated my VPA1 = QTEK 2020 with Ger.shiped rom from Vodafone. it's original rom.
Now I have a problemm with SDCARD. I can read sd with Qtek but I can't whrite on it.
I thing new rom killed sd-slot driver???? or something like this.
Please make me Happy tell me what I can do!
Thanksalot
Cheers
Aykut from Germany
VPA I ~ QTEK 2020 von Vodafone
Modell-Nr. H10B
ROM ver. : 1.72.01GER
ROM Date : 03.16.2004
RUU ver. : 1.14.00
Prot. ver. :1337.24
ExtRom : 1.72.201
i would make sure the write proction switch on the sd card was not set
and if it were not locked
i would try the card in a sdcard reader or another device which used sd cards to check if they can write on it
if they could not i would "write" it off as a bad sdcard
and try another sdcard
I did it all SD is OK.
I tested with my MDA III and with PC I can write, read and erase no problem
The problem is Qtek 2020
cheers aykut
try a different sd card in the 2020 (pref an older card like a 512 meg or smaller...likely to be slower read/write) ... see what happens
if it works then it might be driver/OS related...what size, make and model is the card... there are known problems with larger faster cards
if it doesn't work then the phone has an issue (maybe flash a new rom, or check that the hardware switch that checks for write protect is'nt stuck)
hope that helps

hi, used same rom and same problem occured from time to time but its not so huge problem - you can always backup the card on a pc over the active sync or card reader (which is better solution) and if the problem occure just put those files back

android build..?
back up all your data from your sd card, then reformat your sd card and try again. I should work....
Yesterday i was helping my gf to install android on her hd2, i encountered exactly the same problem as you. Then reformat sd card, install android again. It works smoothly without any problem.
Hope it helps.
thx for advice...i try it...
I have the same Problem...
no matter what I do, it does not work
It always freeze or reboot new.
I have formatted my SD i think over 100 times
What i do wrong?
I have hspl2 and the newest Radio ROm, but it doesnt work
EDIT: I tried all Android builds noone works
Did you do a task29 to format internal memory, then install back energy rom. Only install android. Have you tried that?
@ whizzkid_cool
I dont understand, what is task29
And energy rom? is that a custom Rom?
Still Doesn't work....

Did you copy the complete Android directory (so not only the files) to the root of your SD card?
All you have to do is read
It could also be your SD card. I had exactly the same issue with an 8gb card I recently purchased. No matter how many times I formatted it I still couldn't get Android to run fully all the time.
I have since got a 4gb SD card and Android, all builds, now runs without any issues whatsoever.
Just a suggestion that it may not be something you're doing, or not doing, but an actual hardware issue!
You might also be making the same mistake I did.
When the guides on this forum said to copy the Android folder to the root of my SD card, I thought it was referring to the "/" directory that I saw in Windows Explorer. (What is actually the internal memory of the HD2)
I was putting Android in the wrong directory. I should have been copying it over to the Storage Card one, which is the actual MiniSD Card. That's the root directory.
Just a thought.
same problem...
Hey guys
i tried everything but i have the same problem
it´s only the green screen from HTC. I hope it is not the SDCard
I have the goatrip 6.0 final version and tried it with many Android builds, most of them were from Mdeejay
Please help me without android i think the hd2 is boring for me
HI All

HTC HD2 windows 6.5
PLZ tell me....How fix it......
Thanks...
Did you really perform a hard reset?
Sounds more like a soft reset to me.
But then again, if it was a hard reset, something with your device might be wrong.
And, what kind of ROM is on your device, stock?
Yes, I did hard reset ....and soft reset also but my internal memory is not back....
My HTC HD software Information
OS version 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
Manila version 2.5.20121412.2
ROM version 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio version 2.10.50.25
Protocol version 15.39.50.07u
Seems to be just an older TMOUS stock ROM.
If you didn´t alter anything else but installing some apps, the error you have to face is somewhat strange - lack of memory even after a hard reset.
Did you try a hard reset without your SD card inserted? Sometimes, the system puts correct and/or corrupt data into the "app data" folder. You actually can delete this very folder, it will be recreated automatically with fresh data.
