Hi guys,
I've been trying out different android builds but after a while it won't boot in android anymore.
I run the CLRAD and HaReT, it show the command lines and then freezes on the HTC screen.
It is not the first time I'm launching it, everything is allways set up the way I like it and then I want to reboot a final time and it freezes. (first boot only takes 10 min.) Then I have to take out the battery to reset, but everytime after it freezes, tried waiting for +1 hour but no changes.
When I delete all the android files from my SD card and copy the original ones it restarts again and I have to setup everything again.
I tried new wm roms (Miri HD2 wm6.5.x) different radios (now 2.12.50.02.2),
the new HSPL3 but nothing seems to solve this.
edit: now I'm trying to use the mdeejay froyo HD v3.7 rom
I've searched the forum and other users seem to have the same problem, but no solutions have come forward. The people replying allways seem to think it is the first boot that takes 10 min. but it's not that. First boot works fine.
I would love to have a solution so I can start using android on a daily basis.
If you need more info, just ask.
I was having the same problem initially...very frustrating. Now i found the permanent solution for this problem. The problem on the second time or more on rebooting is depending how do you install the code in the root of SD card. Please follow the instruction carefully as each ROM (depending on which one you use) may require the files to store diffrently in the "root" of SD card. So read carefully after you unzip the code, where should you transfer the files in the SD card. Either under SD root or SD\Android (directory).Eg. I'm using FroyoStone_Sense V3.2 ; use 7-Zip File Manager program (can be download), then execute (click on the downloaded file : FroyoStone_Sense-V3.2.7z ) with the 7-Zip File Manager then you will get 2 directory 1. Android 2. Media and one readme.txt file. Copy the directory 1 and 2 in you root of your SD card. Then you run thru file manager, CLRCAD.exe follow by haret.exe . This the first setup. Let it run and setup your device. It will work and the second time you reboot, just run CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe as usual, your device will work perfectly..Good luck.
Hi, Just to add another note for you convenience if you are using different android build ef Mdeejay_Froyo_Sense_v.2.4.2_NextSense; when you extract the downloded file using 7-Zip File Manager, you will get 2 directories 1. AndroidApps and 2. Media with the rest of files including CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe .Copy and paste exactly the structure into your SD card. It will run beautifully and you will not have probelm on freesing on 2nd reboot even for the next reboot...hope it helps and try it out.thx.
I've the very same situation and Khairon i tried that method doesn't work...
Still same issue...
Any one can solve this?
cheers
Hi, use file using 7-Zip File Manager program to extract the downloaded zipfile. I've tried severals Android ROM builds and it works well on my HD2 after 2 weeks of trial and error on the freezing after the 2nd reboot. To increase your chance of success, reformat the SD card only then copy the files into the SD card.
Thx
all done, still same 2nd boot = freez
dont understand wots wrong
i am using the mjeedy's revolution build
is there any way to completely burn the android to HD2 like wince roms?
cheers
i was having exactly same problems as u, so i formatted my card with a card formatter, not through windows but used a card formatter, installed android agian and bingo it works, im using droidrom, radio 2.12, with the card format do full reset not quick this should work
full format is not working either
I also noticed that there is a file popping up on my SD card : EncFiltLog.menc
Searching around points to SD card encryption, but this is turned of in windows.
I checked with Miri, who made my windows rom and he said it's not set in the rom itself.
But this might explain everything, when I reboot the linux bootloader can't read the SD card because of the encryption.
Only thing now is to turn it off, but how can I do this when it is off in windows
I also had that file today on my "goldcard", the old 2GB SD-card shipped with my HD2. I tried the old card, because I can't start android (on 16GB sandisk) anymore.
Hi, I have the same problem.
Reboot freeze on 16GB Kingston.
Working fine on 2GB SD.
On both SD card is the same formating.
it doesn't seem to be related to the SD card i guess, I also tried my original 2GB card instead of my regular 16GB.
Both give me the same problems.
Hey anyone got a resolution to this??
my build works on my gb but not my 6gb card???

yes, the stock 16gb card doesnt work for flashing roms. use a smaller card.
When you try on the PC, what do you mean by the file cant be opened? you arent clicking teh .nbh file are you? you need to put it in a folder with customruu.exe, so there are just the two files, then run customruu.exe (right click and run as administrator)
i ditched the 16 gb card from the rip since it was only class 2 im using a class 6 8 gb card and when i have just the two files in a folder on my desktop and run the ruu it tells me it cant open the nbh file ???? im at a loss i dont know what else to do ?
for sd card, make sure it is formatted fat32, they sometimes arent. Also, there have been some (not loads but some) reports of teh same problem with 8gb as with 16gb.
as for the PC flash, download it again.
I've noticed if it's a problem with the card being too big it will usually show "loading" for a split second after going into bootloader. At least for me (with the stock 16gb and another 8gb card)
I've been using android on my phone for awhile, and tried a bunch of different builds and never got this error. Yesterday when i was switching back to shubcraft all of the sudden the boot loader gives me
mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: invalid argument
failed
failed to mount sd card. cannot continue.
/bin/sh: cant't access tty; job control turned off
i tried loading just about ever build and get the same thing.
I've changed the startup.txt and i always reformat before i switch builds. i was thinking it might be the sd card itself, but it works fine in winmo.
if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated, im having android withdrawls...
oh and its the stock 16gb class 2
EDIT: It randomly started working again...strange...
This Is What I Do
I was getting either the same thing or something very close to it on about 2 rom to the best of my understanding is when your trying to flash (for lack of better words) a new rom you still have some left over traces either on your storage card or the phone so what you need to do is format your SD card and reflash your phones rom.
I took the origin file put it on my sd card unzipped it there went into the android rom folder cut the plain android folder paste it withe the other folders then reased every folder EXCEPT the PLAIN ANDROID FOLDER now put the sd card in the phone enable the the sound then install android.
To be able to watch the process after you flash your rom go to settings, system, power (battery) and uncheck everything so it doesn't sleep. when you install now you will see the progress and will be able to read the progress if you see 2 things have failed
This is my process and it hasn't failed yet when I didn't do it this way I had fails.

you can search a tool named SDFORMATER V2.0, it will be worked.
okay this is now happening to me as well!
had been using Android and various different builds without hitch.
but today after trying the Hyperdroid build the sd card fails to mount on startup.
Editing the startup.txt does nothing, have also flash to the latest chuckyrom and formatted the sd card time and time again and tried different builds.
anyone have any other suggestions?
Ta
working again now.
the fix for me was to reupload my backup to the sd, format then upload the required new build.
very odd...

i have an htc hd2 i tryed yesterday to install android on it but i dint know how to do it anyone who wnats to help pleas contact me amro__12 at hotmail thanks guys
you need to download the Android and to extract to your SD Card root folder.that's it
There's a little bit more to it than that.
Have a read here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881958
man what the **** is the root folder i tred to extract my androryd froyo supeream but it dint work !!!
When you open your SD card in explorer in Windows, it's there - just don't go into a sub-folder on your SD card.

what ROM you have or RADIO?maybe you need to upgrade your RADIO read that
(Root is just in SD Card not to make any folders and put it in)
First you need to check that you have the a compatible radio version (2.08.50 or above, I use 2.12.50.02_2, and that works perfectly). If you have not got a compatible radio, you need to flash the phone with HARDSPL3, and then flash the phone with a compatible radio.
Both HARDSPL3 and radios (such as 2.12.50.02_2) can be googled easily.
Once you have downloaded the files to your computer. Run HARDSPL3 and then the radio install files from your computer. Follow the instructions that each piece of these phone flash files tell you. It is fairly easy to do & fairly similar to jailbreaking an iPod Touch or iPhone.
Once you have done this. find yourself an Android build. If you're wanting to boot Android from your SD card, avoid NAND roms. If you are wanting to install Android onto the phones main memory (removing windows mobile), go for an NAND rom.
For installing to SD card (non-NAND): extract the Android build on your computer & then copy the folder 'android' to the main directory on your SD card (looking in File Explorer you would copy this to: "My Device/Storage Card", and no where else.
What you then want to do is open File Explorer on your phone (obviously after you have removed your phone from the computer). navigate to your SD card, go into the Android folder and press the CLRCAD.exe file. Nothing will visually happen, but that's ok. This is just getting the audio ready for Android.
Now click on haret.exe. you will then see a window saying 'booting linux kernel' and a load bar. Now let the phone do what it's gotta do for about 10 minutes. The first boot takes a while. After that you should have android running.
As for NAND installation (install in main memory, removing windows mobile): I have never done this so you are best googling this to make sure you do it correctly.
*I MUST WARN YOU THAT INSTALLING HARDSPL3 AND CUSTOM RADIOS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY. DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK* although saying so it won't do any harm to the phone. happy androiding
Hello,
i have 2 problems:
1. I formated my 8 GB card under FAT32 and i copied on Andorid. Then i copied some apps on the card to install them, but when i opened Files explorer in android, the files were not there. Then i opened the card again in windows, and they were there again!!! So they are visible in windows and not visible in android
2. I put back my music on the card, it was ok for 30 mins and after that all the new files on the card ware gone! Only the android folder was there!
What to do?
Anybody can help?
Am i the only one with this problem
From what I remember this has been a problem when using Android to move files to your sdcard, are you using Nand or SD?
After you copy something try rebooting and then it should show up. Way back when before Nand we had to do it this way as for some reason Android will not see the new file until you reboot.
I've restarted the phone several times, but still no files...
Are you using a SD or Nand rom?
SD. All i can see on the card from droid file manager are only the droid files.
Update: After moving the files on the phone while in WM, now i can see them in Android also... for now I will update it if android deletes them or something...

Glad you got it sorted out, yeah mounting your sdcard while running an SD Android rom has never been the most reliable. I would definitely suggest doing it in WinMo from now on to avoid any issues
I've always booted Android from my SD card using RunDroid under Windows 6.5. But I broke my HD2 so I bought another used HD2.
This "new" HD2 already has Android (NAND) installed and it's using MAGLDR 1.13. The installed Android version runs fine so I don't want to remove it. Instead, I simply want to run the same Android I've been running on my old HD2 from SD.
So I boot into MAGLDR, goto Services -> Boot Settings-> AD-SD Dir to pick the directory I want to boot my Android from.
Problem is, the directory list MAGLDR is showing isn't anywhere near complete. It only shows the first 9 directories on the SD card (there are about 30 directories on the SD card). So I'm unable to choose the right directory to boot from.
This is a 16GB SD card formatted as FAT32. My old HD2 had no problems whatsovere reading from it (not in Win6.5, not in Android).
So does anybody know what's wrong here?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Perhaps some folders have an attribute set that is hiding them? -h for instance. Personally I'd create a new folder, test if mgldr can see it, and if it can, move the contents of the android folder into it. If itccan't, I'd backup the SD, and do a complete reformat of the card, including rebuilding the partition from scratch.
All directories can be viewed from within Android without problem...
Odd thing is, that MAGLDR is displaying all directory names in 8.3 format. In fact, I think it only shows the directories created from within WM 6.5. The directories it doesn't show are created from within Android.
I've copied the contents of the SD Card to my PC's harddrive, reformatted the SD Card and copied everything back.
It's still only showing the first 9 directories (only this time 9 different directories).
The card was formatted using FAT32 since I want the card to be readable under WM6.5 as well. But that shouldn't be a problem considering Android can read the SD card just fine.

try this just for kicks, if youcan be bothered,,,, empty teh card, put the dirs on in the ordser you want them to appear, one at a time. Im betting the first nine you drag across will appear.
Ive seen harddisks do the 8.3 thing unexpectedly, i'd be looking hard at the sd card. If you have another card available, definitely give it a test to compare.
As for the fat32 formatting, perhaps a non standard block size was used (or at least one magldr wasn't expecting, , remember magldr is a handfull of lines of code compared to androids many hundred thousand lines, , just saying 'well android can read it fine' is a bit like saying 'hey what gives, , my binoculars can't see the horsehead nebula, but the hubble can'
(astronerds, calm yourselves, yes i know you can see it thru a nice set of decent binos with a good lense/filter, it was just the first commonly known astro object i could think of )
Yeah it's showing the first 9 directories only so I did what you said and cleared the SD card and copied the Android folder first, then the rest. MAGLDR now saw the right Android directory and I was able to set it as boot directory. But now I have another weird problem. I've started a new thread since it's (I think) an unrelated problem.

i extremely stuck i was trying to use native sd method so i created a new ext partition but when i tried to create it i am unable to see any folders in the Services -> Boot Settings-> AD-SD Dir to pick the directory I want to boot my Android
why is this please help me asap
That was a problem to me when I started playing with nativesd, seeing only the first few directories, but if you just use the volume rocker to scroll down, you will get another page of the remaining directories and files, simple.
Just great reply - Thanks
:good:
