Try this:
You seem to have WinMo and a compatible radio.
1. Format your SDCard with FAT32 (backup your data first) (what kind of card do you use? (size and class))
2. Copy your android to your SD card (read the installation guide of the chef, not all Android Builds runs from /Storage Card/Android)
3. Run CLRCAD.exe (or something like this) and then Haret.exe.
4. Be patient, it will take a few minutes at the first boot.
5. if you complete the setup process reboot and then you can do what ever you want

tried that same thing.
just repeats the same 5 lines or something over and over

i have a small question, i successfully booted to android, question is when i need to reboot my phone i cannot lunch android again , can you help me ?

Ok... We try some other things
What HD2 do you have?! 512MB or 1024MB?
Which Radio do you use?
Which Android ROM?
Radio 2.12.50 has a better current cosumption for me. Maybe you try this radio, too

What you need to realise is that when we say "wait a few minutes" we mean up to and including 15... It can seem that the HD2 has frozen but wait long enough and it will boot into android, 1st it has to set up your card the way it likes with a (generally) 1Gb image file. This takes a little while to do.
Patience grasshopper......

Sorry for this not being directly related but it seems like a resonable place to ask my question. So ive flashed tons of winmo roms but just now starting to try android. I flashed nrgz's bare bones rom for android. and the only android that I can get to load is the one that nrgz posted himself a month or to ago. I have tried 3-4 different builds after and it starts linux but only for a second than either goes to an htc screen frozen. or a bright blue screen frozen. Ive tried everything that ive read about. I have reformatted my sd card twice. ive tried 3 different sd cards. ive tried a different roms. Nothing works. I like nrgz andoid ROM that he has with a froyostone build of android but it is VERY unstable and I cant get it to run for more than 10 minutes without freezing and want to try something alittle more stable. ANYBODY know what else i can try. thanks.
sorry i just figured it out. Im AN IDIOT> i thought that i had to see linux run all the way through like with nrgz. but apparently the htc screen is good. MY BAD>

Follow my guide and never have to use winmo again.....

If you need to boot back into android you need to launch haret.exe. If you press on it and it does nothing then press and hold on it to get some options. If open is not in the options you can either download total commander to open the file or download EBL 2.1 and install it. Both of these apps are winmo apps. I found them online.

it turned out that it was due to the files been in the android folder and not direct onto the sd card which was a bit annoying cos thats originally how i had it before i read somewhere people put it in an android folder so did this to keep it organised.
still have a few errors tho and sleeping and dying so was gonna try the froyostone 3.2. this seriously wont but tho. blue screen straight onto black with green htc and left for ages with no luck. any tips on that one?
also im using rom version 1.66.405.2 if that would cause any issue?

tried froyostone 3.1 and got that to boot but still a bit hit and miss. also when it sleeps for long periods overnight its dies. is this normal or is there anyway to fix it?

Help, Won't Load any Rom

Alright, so I obviously jumped into this a little too fast.
Right now I'm stuck at the bootloader. I tried to flash another rom, it got to about 12%, and then failed. Since then I cannot reboot into wm. I have tried tons of other roms, to no avail. I don't know why but they only get to about 1%, then the phone shuts down and the load fails.
I have tried the stock rom, and custom roms. I'm not really sure where the problem lies.
It also doesn't find my device in Sync Center. So, nearly ever tutorial says "Make a connection" as one of the first steps. I cannot do this...
Anyone have any idea's on what I can do?
Tyler
Do you have a microsd card under 2gig? If so, put the rom on the card and flash it that way instead of through USB. You have to name the file TITAIMG.nbh. Much easier way to flash. It is all in the Wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanProblems
I tried that method, but actually, I didn't notice that it has to be under 2gb. Mine is 4gb. So I have to one that small? What is the reason behind that?
Tyler
I think it is because the driver needed to handle the high capacity cards (anything over 2 gig) doesn't work in the bootloader mode. I'm sure if you search around, you'll find the exact answer.
Well I just ran up to walmart and grabbed a 2GB card.
Loaded up what is supposed to be the stock rom, and no luck. It goes the gray screen, says loading for half a second, then quickly flashes "No Image File" I think, its so fast I can barely read it.
I named the file correctly. I have no idea what is going on. Now I just need to have my phone work correctly.
I was trying to get GPS to work.
Right now I have boot loader 2.07, do I need to alter that to load a stock rom? I wouldn't think so. And if I do, how do I load it, if my PC won't connect to the phone.
I'm stupid, lol..
Tyler
Ok, finally! Haha, I loaded the stock ROM on there. I didn't have the new SD card formatted correctly, had the wrong unit size. Jeez. Anywho, now on to try again..

If I am not mistaken, it must be under 2 Gigs because it has to be formatted in Fat32. If I am not mistaken, Fat32 only supports up to 2Gigs. Has anyone tried to partitiion the card as a 2 Gig partition in Fat32 with 1024 Allocation size.
I used to have that error when it reached 12%, actually twice with two different causes. This first one only applies if you are running Windows through an emulator or virtual machine. (could be Fusion, Parallels, etc.. on a mac or Linux)
1. Actually with a Treo 700WX ... The cause was an old version of Parallels, apparently it would "share" the USB port with the MAC OSX, each time it was "OSX's turn" it would timeout the firmware update. This was fixed by going into the configuration and setting USB for "GUEST ONLY." The problem I had was that I had selected "ASK ME EACH TIME." (while updating the firmware, your USB is temporarily disconnected and lost, without the firmware parallels would not detect it)
Another solution to this error, is to update parallels to the newest version. (the newer versions handle EVERYTHING much better.)
2. The other firmware update Issue I had, also with a 700WX, was a bad USB cable. (yes they can and do inadvertently go bad without apparent cause

I see so many people here with that same problem, and that is the problem I had with the SD for a while. Did you resolve the 12% issue?
I haven't tried to flash anything via the USB cable again, so I'm not sure.
But I do have another issue.. I cannot run the ##778 command. When I do, and hit talk, I get no edit button. Am I screwed?
Tyler
Just updating to keep myself records now.. Haha.
Anyways, flashed again to stock Verizon everything, the 6.1 WM stuff. Everything now works, called in a got the correct Home SID, MIN1, MIN2 numbers. But now I still have no internet.
When I type in the username and pass they provide, its like my phone does not save it. If I type it in, finish, ok. Then immediatly check the settings again, they are blank.
Anyone?
Tyler
Install DCD's Verizon (or whichever carrier you use) carrier cab. Data won't work without it.
I had already done that. But I called in, again, and they reset my internet, and now everything works.. but alas, no friggin GPS, which was the whole point of this ordeal. I downloaded the GPSToggler, and no help. I'm going to try to revert back to an older version first, and try all this again. I think during my troubles, I got a 6.1 Verizon release, which would cause it not to work. correct?
If not, I found another thread detailing how to do it within the 6.1 rom, any idea on this? Not sure if I trust it..
Tyler
Ok. Now using wm 6.5 It rocks, but still no GPS..
Tyler
Yes if you flashed a Verizon 6.1 rom then your gps will be locked. You need to downgrade then flash custom again.
Yeah, I figured that out. But I was going to do the aGPS fix, but... none of the links in the Wiki work anymore.
Tyler
what links do you need?

I finally got them to work. Thanks for the offer though. I'm about to try the aGPS setup. Wish me luck. Haha.
Oh, and so far, I've been through about everr DCD rom, settled on 3.2.6 Everything else had bugs it seemed like.
And all the WM6.5 Roms are way to slow and buggy. Does anyone have any other recommendations for a clean, functional rom? I could use a little more stuff then DCD provides, but I know I could cook my own...
Tyler
Bah, this is BS. I am now convinced there is no way to get GPS working.
I have just done the aGPS setup, everything went fine, but still no GPS locks.
Yes I have Location on. Yes, I have all the External GPS settings correct. I'm using Google maps, maybe I'll try another program.
What gives?

Phone hangs on occasion with WM 6.5

Well,
I searched through a lot of threads before breaking down and posting on here. I have not been able to find any posts on the same issue though.
I tried Scott Crosler's WM 6.5 beta build when he first put it up, and it loaded fine. It was not the smoothest, but it would run. But every once in a while, when I would reboot, it would hang on the first startup screen that includes the radio version, etc.. I tried removing the SD card, taking out the battery...Nothing works except the following:
1. Reset with stylus 3-20 times.
2 Reset another 3-20 times...but this time do it really fast.
3. Reset another 3-20 times but now do it slow.
4. Take out the battery.
5. Take out the SD card.
6. Repeat steps 1-5.
7. Scratch head.
8. Search online for similar issue while going through steps 1-7.
9. Face East and try steps 1-7.
9. Face North and try steps 1-7.
10. Try to reason with phone.
11. Try to bribe phone to boot.
12. Somewhere between steps 1-11 it boots finally because it feels like it.
I've left the battery out for a while. I've left the SD card out for a while. Sometimes, it will boot on the first go, just to tease me. When I hard reset, it will work for a little while, then start hanging on boot again.
I tried JD's 6.5 ROM recently, and it does the same thing. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!
need more info... what radio are you running, what carrier, is ur phone unlocked, did you install anything addiotional to the rom... whats the name of ur first born.... and so on
Radio Version is 1.03.03V
Carrier is Verizon
Hardware version 0002
PRL 51284
PRI 1.46_002
SPL 0.35.CMONEX
Phone is unlocked. Clean install. First born is Nicholas. Favorite color is Red. Eyes are green. Sign is Libra.
Humm dunno sounds like the rom build is bad good sons name though. iv heard from quite a few people that the early 6.5 roms tend to do random things. like saying their battery is dead when its almost full so it shuts off then when they turn it back on it says the battery is full... i dont know check the rom thread and see if they realeased a update or post a question there for the cooker to debug it

Yeah I know, I'm one of your test subjects on there...Looking forward to the next attempt.
I am finding a few others having the same issue, so at least I know it's not just me. It seems like a handful of Verizon users are having the issue. Hoping that others will see this and post their specs, specifically hardware revision. Thanks.
Solved!
Looks like it was an issue with the kitchen everyone was posting. I just downloaded Scott's 1.6 Kitchen last night and added the 21198 6.5 SYS files to it. i boots everytime now without hangs.
I also confirmed with other verizon users who were having the same issue and they are running fine too.
So if you have a verizon touch pro, and want to try 6.5, use Scott's 1.6 kitchen.

can you post were you got the 21198 6.5 sys from ? and did you also have to change the ROM folder?
Happened to my Raphael (non-CDMA) phone today and another 6.5 rom, only way i got it working again is by using this procedure:
1. With your phone on. Pull out your stylus.
2. Hold your Touch Pro upside down.
3. Press and Hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip till message appear.
4. To HARD RESET, Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or else press any other button to cancel.
5. Then just follow all the screen instruction to continue...
- If you're forced and unavoidable to 'Hard Reset' your phone, you can prevent loosing your data by sync them all to your computer before performing this reset.

[Q] Android won't boot on my HD2! HELP!? haret.exe

I flashed HSPL3 on my HD2..and flashed a radio on there also..then i did all of the necessary steps (ie. downloading Android rom, copy to root of SD, click CLRCAD, then HARET.exe..after that it goes to a black screen with about 5 lines of VERY SMALL text..and then it goes to HTC logo screen & gets stuck there forever until i do a battery pull..i've installed various radios on my HD2 for experimentation, still does the same thing..help please??
FYI, Please post questions in the Q&A Forum as per mskip's Sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713942
Most Android builds do take 15-20mins to boot up the first time (they have to create the data.img file). Your best bet is to check there isn't a data.img file in the Android folder or on the root of your SD card, if there is, delete it. Then try booting again. Once it gets to the HTC logo screen, leave it and go get a a good book or something . My HD2 took about 20mins to boot up the first time, after that, it takes about 20-30 seconds.
Alternativly you can download precreated "data.img"s but you need to make sure they're OK to use with your chosen Android build.
If that doesn't work, check here for more info.
Dave
P.S. Mods, please can someone move this to the appropriate forum. Ta.
verify your android path in startup.txt you'll find the mistake
I'm sorry, i realized that after i posted the thread up, i apologize. I did everything stated in the thread, and still having the same problem. I switched SD cards, formatted them, same problem. I've tried over 5 android builds, no change.
First boot can take a wail, and did you placed also the img file (the 512mb or the 1Gb) on your SD?
When you boot up WinMo, don't enter the PinCode.
Then you should be able to start Android.
The first startup it is hard to stay tuned
Try to start, put your Phone on the desk and get back after 30 Minutes, then everything should be fine...
maybe try a different radio?

Help!!! Manila sense is dead

Hey guys I hope that you can help me.
My HTC Sense is DEAD! it tries to load, but it restarts before graphics could appear... so I see just loading indefinitely.
I installed Android on SD (BOYPPC GINGER 2.3.3 V7)... during a boot (not the first one) Android has frozen so I had to remove the battery... and after reboot manila didn't works anymore.
What's happened??? What does Windows mobile if I was starting Android?
Could I Flash just a new Manila?
I don't want to hard reset my mobile
Ive seen this before in relation to sd android (saw it a few times on my own device too, more than once, with different winmo roms and android roms and radios, and eventually gave up on sd android) where after running sd android winmo refuses to boot, and all I could do was hard reset.
Sorry I have no other advice for you.

Just a suggestion here but if you run into a problem like this again don't do a battery pull. Take the battery cover off and press the little red. yellow,. or green reset button close to the SD card slot.
This might keep you from having this kind of problem again.
Install CHT scheduler in winmo and do a complete sense backup.
If it happens again you should be able to completely restore Manila.
I also make a point of disabling sense before I boot into android. Improves battery life and you have less chance of a random reboot. IMO
Hope that helps.

since you currently have a running winmo 6.5 rom, you could in theory flash hspl, then the radio, and then the magldr flash (in that order) whilst winmo is running, meaning you wouldn't have to use the voldown button to enter bootloader.
BUT BUTBUTBUTBUT, ,
once you flash magldr (or cLK) there will no longer be a winmo rom to flash from, and since the ONLY other way to flash anything, task29, radio, magldr, stock roms, other winmo roms, hspl etcetera, requires teh voldown button, you would be stuck. And what if the magldr flash doesn't take properly? fairly often people find they have to reinstall magldr for one reason or another,, you couldn't, because you couldn't enter bootlaoder.
You would get no second chance, it would be one-shot, all-or-nothing , and i'd lay 50:50 on you ending up with a phone stuck with no rom, and no way to flash one without vol-down.
My advice would be to stay a long way away from flashing and just use haret to run sd card versions of android.
Hi and thanks for your reply, very usful info as if i didnt know that i proberly would of ended up going ahead and flashing my phone sooner or later, now that i know that ill stay away from that end of it.
So how do i go about using haret to run sd card versions of android, and is it just the same as using android but just running it from my SD card.
Thanks for your advice
i did abit of lookin about i think i get the gist of it, just a couple of questions, i only have a 2GB memory card do i need to get a bigger one, and my radio is xx.x51.x is that compatible ? thanks
Sorry i never had any success using sd android, (but it was a good long time ago) so i cant really help., however i know that 2gb will be fine at least till you know what youre doing,
The usual advice really,read as much as you can.
Ok thanks, ive just updated my radio so now running a new version so think im gonna give it a try, thanks again
