Please Please help me run Android! - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Basically I've extracted my Android ROM into my SD card but everytime I boot it, it just freezes on the white HTC screen. Even after waiting for about 30 minutes, it still doesnt boot up to Android. I've formatted my SD card and tried a few different ROMS.
My radio is 2.15, my SPL is 3.03 (stock without SSPL or HSPL) and my ROM is 3.14. I've researched a bit on the XDA forums and apparently I can use my stock ROM if I'm at 3.14 to run Android. I havent done any flashing but apparently Android should work with SPL 3.03.
Please help, its so frustrating as I've got my HD2 now but I cant run Android at all.

What make, size and class is your SDCard

Its ScanDisk, 16GB and Class 2.

Format you card with this
And chose option "FULL (Erase ON)"
That should properly format you card. Then just place your Android folder on card and boot into Android and wait!

I would have suggested trying Class 4 minimum, but try theatheists suggestion first.

I've used the program you suggested to format my card but Android still wont run. It gives me a little bit of text when I click haret.exe and then immediatly it goes the white htc screen and seems to freeze there. I waited 40 minutes for it but it was just frozen on the same screen...

Can somebody PLEASE help me? I'm desperate and nobody seems to be answering at all!

Have you tried downloading it again or using a different build??
Does it need to be on the root of your card or in an android folder.......??
If none of that works then try an older rom... (1.72)

Phone restarts itself when in android

I am on stock 16GB sd card class2 and HD2 stock battteryI tried 2GB class 2 and 8Gb class 6. I am on Radio 2.10 and even upgraded to 2.12.Lot of SODS and phone restarts automatically.
After SOD windows won't load up and hangs at Stick together logo and will never go forward. Need to take off the battery and need to wait for couple of minutes and after wards it loads.
After getting into Android, gets again SOD and will reboot and when I get back into android, will try to check email or make call and then again phone restarts itself.
Any ideas.
I am on Darkstone latest release froyo2.2 with today's update i.e 18th August and tried all kinds of ROMS.
Any help is appreciated.
do you hspl3 your hd2
Yes it says 2.08SPL when I enter in tri-color mode.
Any help on this?
this has happened to me as well, using mattc 1.5b with Cloudy 1.6 winmo ROM
Radio 2.10.50.26. I am unable to provide the cause of this, just seems to be
random.
Could be corrupt files on you sd card. A bit time consuming, but doesn't hurt..
- Copy your sd card onto your pc.
- Format sd card (fat32)
- Copy everything back
I read somewhere that this problem can be caused with mounting your sd card from your phone via usb. I know I had a lot of problems with Android seeing the new files I copied over so I stopped doing it (connecting via usb).

Friend,
I did copying N number of times, formatting SD card..
Do you want to me to try still?
Any other suggestions?
Just dittoing. Having the same problem with chuckyrom + mattc 1.5. Seems to happen when i'm not using the phone for a while.
Can I load the stock firmware , and install HSP3 and start running android?
Do I need to have a different ROM to run this? All I understood was earlier there was a sound issue but not now..Can I do the above step?
same

I had this same self-reboot issues, regardless of android build, even after deleting and re-creating the android folder in the sd card.
Following is how I managed to solve it:
Take out sd card and use card reader, mount it on a winxp machine.
Copy ALL files to a backup folder in pc. Use 'xcopy /e /c *.* c:\sdbak\.' for example, as normal copy/paste wouldn't work if it found errors due to corrupted files.
Use sd formatter. Refer to this thread. Do a Full format; a class 2, 8GB will take around 10 minutes to complete.
Copy back each backup folder into the formatted sd card, one by one. Recreate and copy your favorite android build onto the sd card.
Reinsert sd card, boot up and start android from fresh.
Let us know if this works for you.
i did do full format in xp before and have random reboot problems. Maybe something happened since then, ill try this tool.
Did it and no dice, still reboots. Im gonna try another suggestion about uninstalling setcpu.
setcpu
this restart happens to me everytime i use setcpu im on shubcraft 1.4b with the r4 overclocked zimage labeled NewKernels_LatestGIT_r4_BTalternative it just started happening with this zimage. are you using setcpu try uninstalling it it worked for me! i never had this prob with the original zimage! hope this helps!

It doesn't work. It still reboots inspite of doing all the above steps.
I have the same issue with crashing back to windows mobile when inactive, this is only recent for me, previously Android was solid as a rock. Guess I will try a build without adding apps or settings and see if it crashes, then add apps one at a time.
Does anyone know of a way of catching the error/crash reason?

Just a note, shub and darkstone's builds gave me random reboots. Ive moved to mattc's nexus based build and it has been super solid.
I have installed mattc 1.7 and zimage r11 with all .ko files and no longer experience reboots in android, I use task manager and setcpu also, its worth trying a this if you have probs

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

[Q] Trouble restoring stock HD2 ROM

Hope someone can help. I've been running the Energy ROMs for a while, and decided to give Android a whack. Installed MAGLDR and the Desire ROM but want to restore the original OEM ROM, but can't seem to get it done.
I've formatted FAT32, extracted the .nbh from the archive, copied it over and renamed it leoimg.nbh (should it be upper case, or, leo_img.nbh?), and press the reset & volume down button. I get the HSPL screen, the gray screen flashes for only a second and disappears, then the HSPL screen shows again.
I am using the 16Gig SD card. Is it possible that's the problem? I've read a lot of things in a lot of threads, but can't seem to figure it out.
What gives? Any ideas?

almost certainly.
most 16, many 8 and 4 gig cards wont work
What Sam said.
Use a < 8Gb card. Single partition. FAT32.
I don't think the file name is case sensative but could be wrong.
Thanks,
Al

I did the same, but I just flashed back to the energy rom by running it from the desktop via windows mobile device center and not the sd card. So try running from the desktop with you desired rom.

Ok, got a 2G card and everything is working fine, now. Thanks for everyone's help!

SD Card doesnt mount in Android, xrec is ok

I have recently upgrade to android 2.3.3 and am using EWJET as a rom.
I cannot access the SD once Android OS has booted. All apps and the system/settings says SD Card isn't mounted. Tried multiple installs, nothing works.
All 2.1/2.2 Roms are fine.
If i tap back during start-up and access xrecovery I have normal access to the SDcard and can flash packages etc. So the phone is able to access the card ok.
My SD card is the 8gb that came with the phone and isnt partitioned in anyway.
However in the past I did have it partitioned, but not now. Incase I am installing 2.3.3 and the rom wrong, ill tell you my steps.
Factory Firmware 2.1 flashed
rooted, busybox and recovery installed
Flashed X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband
then install the EWJET rom as per his instructions..
I pray I am only doing the above steps wrong as I desperately want the SD working on 2.3.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

you try pulling it out and blowing on it like an old nes game...
jk smiles but have you tried perhaps throwing the sd into a computer and just formatting with different cluster sizes or in general formatting the card. Might need to use an adapter.
Happen the same thing to me but with wolfbreaks rom... some people told me to re-flash the rom but it didnt work. The funny thing is the the sd card will work on any other device, and any other sd card will work on the phone... havent try re-formatting the card cauze i dont have the adapter but it should work

you might want to get an adapter. A while back i tried setting up a sd-ext partition on a 4gig card and long story short the only way i was able to run a format that gave me back the 4gigs was throwing it into an adapter
Had the same thing when I updated with stock-2.3.3.... At the time I had it partitioned in 2 partitions...
I connected the phone then with my pc, and there it was, alive and well.... So I backed up the entire card, that is, the first partition, where all my data were; I powered off the phone, took it out, found a adapter, deleted the 2nd partition with Partition Wizard Home Edition Minitool, made the sd-card 1 partition only, formatted that partition, and then I copied all my backed-up data back to the card
Then I put the card back in the phone, booted and voila: the card was recognized again by 2.3.3....! and now it functions ok!
Hope this helps, greetz, good luck,

formatting did not help
Anything new on this?
for me it is a little different. The card that came with the phone works fine with the GB update, the thing is that I got another phone, this one came with a 4 Gb card so I took the one in the x10 with all my pics and put it in my new phone and put the other new card in the x10 but it doesn't recognize it...
I've tried with 2 different cards, in xRec i can read it, back up, etc, but once in android its like there's nothing there. Tried formatting it with no results....
What could it be that it reads the original x10 card and no other?
Ive got no idea, but its annoying. Im gonna have to go back to 2.1 which sucks.
We need to some how figure out whats causing this. Ive tried everything.
2.3 seems to be the problem.

Please help me get back on WM6.5

Hi guys, so this is my situation:
I have dual boot WP7 (nand) and Android (sd). My SD card is partitoned, half for wp7, half for android.
I would like to try some custom WM roms now, and I don't know how to get back from wp7.
So:
1) How to go from WP7 to some custom WM6.5 rom?
2) Will I still be able to run Android form SD card?
Thanks,

+1 for this.
It´s just astonishing that we have to repeat again and again the same story:
Simply flash your stock ROM via SD card method, this way, you will completely erase everything on your phone. The SD card itself will not be changed, btw.
You might also flash via USB using the RUU.exe file, to keep HSPL, but I still would recommend to start from scratch.
Can someone please help me?
I have the same problem after formatting my sd card and trying to remove hspl, now it says "Not allow" when i turn my phone on and then displays the same as OP's phone, I'm freaking out, i don't know how to access SD card when i can't turn on my phone please help :[
Try doing a task29 then flashing a stock rom. It should erase the spl and every thing else. From there you should be able to do what you want with Wm and SD android.
