The only thing left really is your SD card. Do you have a different one you can try?
Also, what actually happens when you run Android?

when my hd2 is booting android ,it stopped at here...
Running an fsck on SD card
dosfsck 3.0.1 23 Nov 2008, FAT32, LFN

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed:invalid argument

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job controlled turned off

Okay. Try reformatting your SD card. Use Disk Management (not right-click and format) on your PC and set the cluster size to the largest it will let you use.
Then copy Android back onto it and give it another try.
Just to be sure as well, are you definitely putting the Android folder directly onto the root of your SD card?
Also, finally, can you paste the contents of startup.txt here, just in case.

From what I can see, he stopped work in July on his Sense builds. I can't even find a thread for that particular build.
I strongly recommend you get something new. The old builds had lots of problems that have been resolved in most, if not all, newer builds.
What in particular are you looking for from your build, because if you just want Sense, but something stable then give this a try...

I'm using that at the minute and after a slow start (a few reboots sorted it), it's running like a dream now.

[Q] [HELP PLEASE] Can no longer boot any Android build

Hi All,
I have been using Android for a while now, with no real issue. After changing my DPI I found I could no longer use my old build (Black screen) after booting into Android. Now whatever build i choose I cant boot past linux with it errroring out at
"superblock could not be read or does not describe correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an altanative superblock"
Seraching the forums I found this means I have no/corrupt intrid.gz, so i redownloaded and formatted my SD card and to still no avail.
Is anyone able to assist? Devs?
Thanks alot to all the devs that built these great ports, now I cant stand being without Android.
Things Tried:
- Task 29
- SD Re-Format
- Different Builds
- Left to run for ages hoping it will pass
- Tried numerous times
- Tried an older build
- Tried class 2 (Currently using class 6)
Have you ever think of reflashing winmo and start over again?
To be honest, no... I havn't changed anything in winmo though, and didnt think that would affect it?

Dont know if this helps, it also says:

Are you using any of the builds which create their own 512MB/1GB/2GB datastore? Those may take up to 30 mins or more to complete the initial config and show up the GUI

check your startup text file. It might've changed somehow. I should show where android is supposed to boot up. ex: [ set cmdline "rel_path=Android" ] or whatever the name of the folder where android is located. I've got two going right now. One in a folder called AndroidJ for JDMS' v1.7 and another folder called HyperDroidv1.5. I've used quickstart android apps on the winmo side and sometimes they screw up the "startup.txt" file. Make sure that what's in the "startup.txt" is the same name of the folder where it's located. One last ex: for my android that's located in the "AndroidJ" folder, my startup.txt reads: set cmdline "rel_path=AndroidJ"
Because of the apps/shortcut/whatever you can use to boot up android in winmo mode have messed up my startup.txt, I now just use file explorer or total commander to go to the actual folder and hit CLRCAD and then HARET.exe.

Answers to "can no longer boot any android Build"
Okay I had the same situation but the way I fixed that was to
Turn off my Device
Push Volume up/down at the same time and then push the end button and hold it until it you see an icon on you phone and press vol/up again. and confirm yes
after that let the phone reboot again and turn it off
and now you press only the DOWN/VOL and END button at the same time. and now you are taking to the HSPL to Flash your Rom again.
Flash a WinMO rom of your choice. and let it reboot.
after that you need to reformat your SD card and uncheck the QUICK FORMAT let it fully format the SD card
and after your SD card if finished.
Download An ANDROID Build of your choice and enjoy!
I hope this helps
and sorry for the poor english

[ROM][WIP]Divine Madcat's Honeycomb Hybrid RC1 SD v0.2 Image [5/21]

Well here I am again,
Not sure if I should have started a new thread for this or not. And although I feel like there are more threads than needs to be in the Development forum at the time being. I felt like the SD image might have it's own issues unrelated to the EMMC version. So I wanted to keep it seperate. If a Mod feels different, please advise so. I'll be more than happy to remove the thread and have the file posted to Divine_Madcat's original thread.
**Disclaimer: As usual, use at your own risk. Backup! And I'm not responsible for anything period**
I've just prepped an Image for Divine Madcat's latest Honeycomb Hybrid RC1. I've included rookie1's dualboot u-boot.bin and my modded CWM for SD, for the purpose of easier updates in the future for the SDcard rom.
Although there is no option to mount an SDcard in this version. I was able to mount the 4th partition as SDcard. So now you can use a file explorer of choice to browse your SDcard partition. I'm not sure if the EMMC version mounted the internal Media partition or not. Not 100% sure, but with this image you should also be able to browse your /media partition on your nook as well. And remember to thank the devs for all their time and effort into getting this to us. All I did was prep it to work as an SD image.
Directions:
1-Download the update-HC-hybrid-rc1-sd.img.7z
2-Uncompress it
3-The .img file should be able to fit on a 2gb card or larger
3-Follow directions from Nookdevs.com to burn the image
4-Pop the SDcard in your nook
5-Enjoy!

Edit: 5/21 - Well since the world is apparently ending today sometime. Figured I'd at least let you guys try a working .img. So here is an updated .img with the apps installing issue fixed. Everything is the same as the last .img except for the fix and I included a file manager. If it hangs at the "android_" screen on first boot. Just do a hard reboot and it should be fine. Enjoy!
Edit: 5/12 - Seems like there is an issue with installing apps where it will do a soft reboot when attempting to do so. I won't have time to take a real look at it till this weekend though.
-You could push individual apps to /data/app via adb for the time being.
Code:
$ adb push app.apk /data/app
-Or to push multiple apps. Create a folder called data. Within that folder, create a folder called app. Then place all your apks in the app folder. Now you can push the whole directory to /data/app
Code:
$ adb push /your_home_directory/data /data
-If anyone else who might want to jump ahead of me and find a fix, would very much appreciate it!

Awesome! Does this include anything new from 3.1?
Looks good. I was trying to install nook app from market but it kept rebooting. Thanks for the hard work..
Looking forward to giving this a try...
Whats the size of the image, what is the min/max size sd card required?
@Samir- nothing new. Direct image of hybrid rc1 by madcat
@Flyboy- I really didn't get a chance to test. Thanks for the info. Ill take a look when I can.
@Joenathan- sorry forgot to post img size. Its a 1.8gb image. So any card 2gb or larger should be fine. Ill update OP with size later
The more feedback the better. Can't fix things without feedback.
Thanks everyone,
Racks

Are there quite a bit of FCs with this version? I tried the emmc one and had to revert back to CM7 because it was too unstable.
Its a bit too big for my 2GB SD card, my sd card weighs in at 1,921,024KB whereas the image is 1,927,168KB
So 2GB SD cards are out....
Thanks Racks, just what I was looking for.
Well done.
crap! I has 2gb SD card too that I use for this.
Any chance of someone making an SD version of the xboxexpert's HC build?

Any reason for wanting that build? I ask, because it is out of date, and nothing more than some extra apps added by default. This version uses newer framework, and right now is advisable to use until a 3.1 build comes (especially with the SD card fix also made by Racks).
The ROM is nice, Honeycomb apps are much superior, but for me it runs too slow.
Using a class 4 generic SD. Anyone else having problems?

Not that the SDK is as fast as CM7, but i am willing to bet the problem is your SD card. Having used a crappy SD card myself, i know how bad they can be; invest in a cheap class 2 or 4 Sandisk card, and get blown away.

Divine,
For awhile I would see you posting around with random things in various sections and wasnt really sure if you were a troll or not, but lately youve pushed some truly amazing things like the work on dals kernel and now this update hc build and I truly am impressed with all your work. You have my complete respect. Thank you.

As it is, I am happy i could have committed something useful to the community.

Great job! Love not having to flash between CM and HC to play with the 3.0 goodness. My only question, anytime I try to install an app it reboots.....Ideas?

You're the second person to say so. Is everyone having this issue? Is anyone having success installing any apps? From market or from a file explorer. I need more feedback so I can pinpoint the problem.
I'll have to take a look at this when I get a chance. Or if you don't mind posting a logcat? Just save a logcat to a .txt file and upload it here. I'll take a look to see where it's erroring out.

[TUT] Android 2.2 on SD card (OUTDATED)

I made it for all of you who prefer to have their Android to be installed on SD card.
What do we need:
SD card with ext2 as a second partition (I believe that most of you know how to use gparted or any other linux partition manager)
filesystem: http://www.2shared.com/file/8p5Ci18r/SDAndroid.html
fota (the same as in Shodow's tut, so if you have this, there is no need to reflash it)
Step 1
Unzip downloaded filesystem.
Step 2a
Copy the "galaxyboot" folder into internal memory of your phone (or, as Shadow named it "Bada root").
Step2b
Copy the content of "filesystem" folder into ext2 partition on your card.
Step3
Open the terminal in this directory and type:
sudo chmod -R 0777 ./*
sudo sync
Step4
Unplug your sd card and boot by pressing start call button + on/off button.
Of course, all those steps must be done under Linux.
For those who do not have custom fota flashed:
Step5
Under Windows open Multiloader, select LSI, serach for fota and download it to your phone.
This is mixed version of first version of Android port and the filesystem posted by mylove90. It provides all functions which the newest version of Android from Shadow's tutorial has.
Great thanks to Bedson from bada-os.info for keeping all the old files.
Would this port still have "easy crash" after several reboot?
*yet again mumbles something about the annoyances of more than one tutorial*
part of the reason we moved to the scripted moviNAND version is because people time and again have difficulty running commands on a Linux commandline, if someone wants to create more tutorials it would be preferred that their filesystems have chmodding and partitioning scripted requiring no user intervention through a Linux distro, if possible.
EDIT: also be prepared to answer questions and to make it known that your tutorial isn't dev-created and thus for people following it to not PM devs asking why it won't work
@nbates66
As you said, the version for movinand is a way more simple to apply. On the other hand using this version is meant to be only for those with fast small files write on their SD card (fast, i mean aroud 1 - 2MB for 4KB Q1, where most of cards are about 0,01 - 0,04MB).
And there is one more thing... Bada 2.0 which made this section a bit less popular within couple of last weeks (and I think this won't change till Oleg give us new version).
@NitramNach
The entire process hasn't been changed when compared to the old version from Shadow's TUT, so it might be as unstable as you said. I think it's rather the matter of SD card, cause I haven't crashed my phone yet.
I'm using Class 4 Sandisk SDSDQM-032G-B35, but it's like rebranded Class 2 (9MB sequential read, about 5,5MB sequential write, 1MB random 4KB Q1 read, and 2MB random 4KB Q1 write).
i'm sorry, so may i ask, it means it's stable now?
does installing android on sd card will affect the already presend bada in the phone by any way ?
am asking this becoz am very very newbie,,, never tried flashing and dont want to have the risk of flashing ,,, so , if this way dont affect the already presend bada 1.2 in the phone , i may try to install android on sd card coz really want to c android on my s8500 ...
my firmware is jpkc1 ....
@chriszue
It depend on that what do you mean by stable.
It's the same version as published by devs in Shadow's tut, but this one is prepaired to be installed on SD card.
Though the speed and stability depends on your card I can say that I've used it for 4 days without any problem.
Now I'm using Bada 2.0, so I had to resign of Android.
@sarmoodi
Nor this or the version presented on Shadow's tut have any influence to Bada.
But if, you're not familiar with linux I suggest using the movinand version.
@Qron
thanx alot for the super fast reply..
Was the microphone working in this version?
Dude I want u r help...
i compare galaxy 3 and wave 723 and they are almost got same things..>
so i m thinking about about port galaxy 3 android froyo on wave 723 is that possible to do?
if wave 2 can run android they y not wave 723?
I'm not capable to help you. I simply made a conversion of newest filesystem so it could be installed on SD card. Nothing less, nothing more. I don't have proper knowledge to make any port.
what do you meaning by "It provides all functions"?
can you make calls on this methods?
Are You kidding me??
You rip this out of context. The whole sentense was "It provides all functions which the newest version of Android from Shadow's tutorial has."
So NO!, you can not make calls using this method.
Terminal commands
I cannot access the ext2 partition through the terminal and execute sudo chmod -R 0777 ./* and
sudo sync, that is I cannot find the folder in the FileSystem where Ubuntu places the mounted partitions. Could you tell me how to do this?
I have Ubuntu 11 installed through wubi if that makes any difference.
10x in advance
Root
It would be really helpful if someone could give the syntax for rooting froyo for this SD card version.

Yes, give it a try, as far as I'm aware it should work. Maybe the installation went a little wrong, probably nothing to do with you ^^.
Hope I've helped.
i followed all the steps several times and my phone keeps hanging at galaxy s screen.
any idea of what im doing wrong?already tried ext2 and ext3.
I am unable to use the touchscreen functionality properly in android on bada. I have loaded on SD card dual boot with Bada 2.0.
I am finding difficulty in scrolling or long-press (to create shortcut in home screen) or play "angry bird" , I cannot pull and hold the catapult.
Is there any workaround ? Have others faced this problem ?

[SCRIPT] - Install2SD - Script to install any ROM to SD

WARNING: This script can be dangerous if you do not know what you're doing!!! I am not responsible for any of your files or hard drives that are deleted if the script is used the wrong way.
The following Bash script (built for Ubuntu) is a simple script that I wrote that does the following:
1. Lets you chose any non-SD ROM.
2. Lets you chose the drive to partition. (WARNING: This ONLY ignores /dev/sda as it assumes that it's your main hard drive. If you have more than one hard drive, do NOT use this unless you know what you're doing!!!)
3. Automatically partitions a Boot partition, a system partition (large enough to hold some BIG ROMs...), a data partition and the rest of your SD card (whatever size it may be) is partitioned as a standard FAT32 space.
4. It modifies both the ramdisk and the vold to boot from the SD and to see that 4th partition as the SD card.
5. If the ROM doesn't have gapps built in and uses the install script to copy them from your last ROM (like CM and MIUI do), it will download and install the gapps.
6. It creates all the required symlinks.
I've only tested it with my 8GB microSD and with MIUI. The permissions are not set up correctly for now due to a bug of sorts... but the ROM that I tested boots and works fine. (Set it all to 777 for now.)
This is only the first version. I just wrote it today. If you find bugs or have a better idea on how to do certain things (like ONLY display USB drives and SD cards) PLEASE let me know here.
If nothing in this thread makes sense, it's because I'm tired...
Update: Adding a bit more info.
Its a really good idea, but not many people can try it unless it's ported to Windows or Mac.

I know most people use Windows but Windows isn't very well equipped to do the stuff that this script does. I could always try to make an actual program (make it in c or something) but that would require a complete rewrite. I mostly wrote this for myself (to make my life easier while I'm porting a ROM to the Nook) but figured someone else might be able to use it. (Mostly the people who make the SD img's for everyone else, not the general public.)

Reading that it looks like the differences are:
Mine:
Can do all that in the PC without having to touch the nook.
It's all automated. (Like downloading the gapps.)
You run the script then just pop the SD card into the Nook and go.
Meant more for devs who are testing new builds left and right or who are building an image for others to use.
His:
Doesn't require Linux nor any Linux experience (to choose the correct drive from the drive list that the script gives you.)
Meant for the average usage who wants to be able to easily update their ROMs and install new kernels without "wiping" the SD card's data partition.

I like this... Thanks
I am using verygreen's installer on my Nook right now, but I am going to start playing with this script
P.S. Linux rocks, everyone should have it...for those who don't want to let go of Windows, you should at least have Linux installed as a virtual machine on your box using VirtualBox.
So I was playing with this for a few moments on my Mac at work today. Am I copying the ROM archive, say MIUI_us_encore_1.8.5_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_andmer.zip or cm_encore_full-163.zip, into the same location as the Install2SD script?
Or am I to uncompress these roms into their respective folders and copy that folder into the same location as the Install2SD script?
I have yet to get another uSD to play with, so I have obviously not gotten to far with this just yet. I will be back to my Ubuntu machine after I get home from work with a new uSD to play with.

I haven't tested to see if this works on a mac. That said, just run the script and it will tell you where to put the files (in linux (in nautilus to be exact...)) If not, when you run it the first time, it will create the necessary folder and you can put the files there.

[Q] All Android builds hang during startup

I've got the Telstra RHOD110 and I've tried to install every Android build since about the first stable Froyo release. Every single one of them hangs during the Linux boot sequence.
It seems to be memory related, but past that I've got no clue - I'm an IT professional, but I'm in operations, not development so I'm a little out of my depth with this stuff.
I have NOT done HardSPL yet, but I was under the impression this wasn't necessary for the SD card method (which I wanted to test out before potentially bricking a ~$1000 phone). In theory it's just the standard Telstra WinMo 6.5 ROM...
It's getting a bit frustrating after years of trying this and seeing everyone else talking about how easy it is. I'm using F22's rootfs and TotalCommander isn't showing up any *.csv files in the \windows directory, so I can't even try the GBX0C (2.3.7) test build. Anyone know why my phone seems to be different?
Hi Nukkels lets focus on getting GBX0C running since

First things first: Format the MicroSD you plan to use using the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Just use google to find it. I use version 2.1.8. Perform a FULL format, FAT32.
Now download the package from here: http://files.xdandroid.com/GBX0C_Full_Bundle_2012.04.24.zip and extract all of the files to the root of your SD card

This device is identical to the RHOD100_UK so pull the startup.txt out of the STARTUPS\RHOD\RHOD100\ and place it on the root of your storage card.

I think I understand why you are trying to use that rootfs since it has some stuff tailor made for Rhod110/Telstra but I don't think it is necessary. Just leave the existing rootfs.img from the GBX0C package, it should work for you.

I haven't used TotalCommander for a while, but it seems to me that there is an option like "Hide Files in ROM" or "Show Hidden Files" or something like that which is probably preventing you from seeing the .csv's in /Windows/. So find that option and find those files and copy them to the root of your storage card.
If you can't find them I think that GBX0C should still boot as I have booted without any .csv's, there was just no sound in the build. But at least you can see that it is working. In case you absolutely cannot find them, here are my .csv's from rhod100uk: View attachment RHOD100_CSV.zip, unzip to your storage card, which hopefully will get you going.
Okay, now all you need is a touch screen calibration file. If you do not have one here is mine:View attachment ts-calibration.zip
Unzip it to the storage card.
Now you have everything in place on the card, please at this point do not try to edit the startup.txt or anything in /conf/. Lets just get this baby working.
Before you run anything I would set WM to airplane mode, set your backlight control to any level but auto (ie low), and make sure that you are not overclocking your processor in WM.
Now run HaRET.exe from the root of the storage card and cross your fingers mate!
Be patient, first boot can take ~10 minutes sometimes.
EDIT: Also there is a fairly good chance that your thread will get moved to the Android section... if it does and you aren't able to post in it anymore you can PM me.
I just wrote up a huge post and lost it all :crying:
Basically I followed your sintructions step by step and it worked!
I'd never done a FULL format before - that takes hours! I'm guessing this might have been the main issue.
I'll play around over the next few days with F22s rootfs and rhod110 startup parameter, Airplane mode turned on, etc to see if any of that had an impact. I never thought to set backlight to manual or use Airplane mode.
Hopefully I can help find the crucial step I missed, so it can be included in the installation instructions (or at the very least someone might stumble on this thread).
Anyway thanks a tonne for your help, it got me up and running!:good:
Thread moved to the appropriate section.
I genuinely hope you didn't pay ~$1000 for this phone... wow.

So... what's broken with it? Where does it stop?
Edit - basically, you've gotta give us more to go on. We can't help you with "wouldn't work" - it's simply not enough info. Provide as much as you can - what did you try, what happens when it boots, did anything semi-work, etc etc. Details!

Did you bite your tounge just right while dancing backwards to the wizard of OZ soundtrack? That always does it for me when it 'wouldnt work'.
My experience was that the full format using the HP tool is a crucial step. I did a full format using other tools but I had no joy until I did it with the HP tool.
