hi
i would like to update the kernel on my hd2 but i are not sure how to, i have search on serval guides but they all tell a different way to install kernels and so its a jungle out there. and i don't wont anything to go wrong.
so could anybody explain to me how to update your kernel and which kernel i have to choose for my os.
Spec
Wm: chuckydroid rom
radio 2.15
android: superhd2 v.1.4
kernel: miladkhani - 2.6.32.15
If you want to change kernels in your android build you just download the kernel you want, open the file and copy files into the android folder, zimage, root, devs, etc. Reboot, your done.

I tried that, took hastarin r8,6 kernel and copied it to my sd card - reboot, and a different screen showed in the startup sequence. But when i go into settings - about phone. It is stil miladkhani 2.6.32.15 kernel
Take the files from the new kernel, one at a time, and place them into the android folder, copying over the existing files. Don't leave the file on your sd card, put them all in the android folder.

Hi, i have ShubCrafts android rom from early august currently on my HD2 and i want to change over to darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1.
I wanted to know if i backed up my apps using titanium backup will it keep all my data from the apps? furthermore can i backup my personal information - sms, contacts, and then restore them in darkstone's rom without any problems.
lastly on the root of my sdcard i have several folders from android apps, Grooveshark, Kindle, Espn score center etc and i wanted to know if i should reformat my sdcard and then place a single android folder on there with the darkstone files, or can i just rename/delete the shubCraft android folder and then just replace it with darkstone's and then run android.
oh one last thing, i wanted to ask how do i go about adding a 1GB data image, i will be trying to use this file - 1GB data.img v1.1 for DarkStone's Froyo v1! - and hopefully it is compatible. Will i just have to boot android for the first time let it create the data image and then replace it with the 1GB file i have downloaded, directly in android or boot back to winmo and then copy/paste it into the android folder.
So sorry for the multitude of questions being asked, any help appreciated.

I am also interested to see if this can be done. I just got a larger MicroSD card and I don't want to have to start from scratch.
Have you tried posting in the shubcraft build thread?
can anyone help us.... please
Hmmm. well I used this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741383
However make sure you read mstrk242 post on the 2nd page:

I think some of the confusion on the linux side is resize2fs -p (size) is for block size not bytes. So 512000 is actually 2gb. If you do 256000 it worked for me my data.img was 4 block size. If you are using the build I am (mattc 1.4rc) this will work. I suggest copying the data.img to your hd and doing it there so you cant mess up the original. I also found that my build doesnt seem to like a bigger file than 1gb, but its the only one ive tested this on.

Only problem with this method is that you need linux (you could just use a live cd) and you kinda need to know how to start/use the terminal (which is a bit like cmd/command prompt on windows). But I've found this guide quite straight forward.
hey is anyone able to help, please i would greatly appreciate any answers to my problems.
thank you

Hi,
I have frequently switched between shubcraft and Froyostone so might be able to help. I use Titanium back up.
1. Backup your current build using titanium backup (free on android market)
2. Download and extract your new build. What I also do is download the apk files (from www.freewarelovers.com) of a file manager such as Estrongs as well as Titanium backup and copy them into the 'AndroidApps' folder contained within the new build to be installed. This way they install on first boot and avoids me having to connect to market for their installation.
3. Go to your SD card and remove all your current native android files and folders. Leave folders that belong to your installed apps such as grooveshack, espn etc.
4. Copy your new build onto your SD card and boot.
5. After 1st boot, reboot again by pressing the power button.
6. Work though initial android set up
7. Go to settings>applications> tap 'unknown sources' > ok
8. Open your installed titanium back up. Tap 'backup/restore', Press windows hardkey button, select 'batch'. Scroll down on the list and tap 'restore missing apps + data'.
9. After installation, reboot device
10. Enjoy!!
NB: Froyostone v2. comes with 1GB data already!

Whatever those lines supposed to be
If you already have installed things go to the market and download Titanium Backup. There's a how to in the general discussion section, you'll have to search for it. After you've done this, be shure the folder with your backup is on your pc. Then format your card and start over with your new build. After this, copy the Titanium Backup folder to your SD and download it in the market again. Then restore everything and voila, your finished.
If you want to keep both builds on your card, you have to rename one of the Android folders to e.g. Android_mattc. After this step you have to config the startup.txt in your Android folder. Set the line set cmdline "rel_path=Android" to the name of the folder. E.g. the folders name is Android_mattc you have to set this line to set cmdline "rel_path=Android_mattc".
That's all so far. I'm out.
Cheers
Hi, I haven't posted much round here, so I can't ask this question on the Dev thread about this.
I have MCCM's Gingerbread 2.3.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038694) installed on SD, but it's the previous V7.
Is there anyway I can upgrade from V7 to V8 without losing txt's, apps, general settings (i.e. layout on homescreens, etc)? Calendar/Contacts not an issue as I sync to PC.
I did try to havea look through the thread for info on upgrading but got lost in the 100+ pages.
Thanks,
Ian
Can anyone give me any advice with this please?

You just have to copy over your data.img from your current build to the new one.
Either that, or copy over all of the new files over onto your current build and replace everything except for data.img (if it is included). And also, copy over the folder to your pc in case something untoward happens.
Hi ian200t, looking at the first post on the thread you linked to it says that it should be ok to upgrade using existing data.img.
to be sure though do a titanium backup (dont restore system (red) files) and google synch contacts,calenders.
make a copy of your data.img on your computer using a cardreader or wm6.5
download V8 and copy contents of android folder to your SD card android folder (copy and replace all), your existing data.img will not be overwritten and all should work ok.
Excellent, thanks for your replies guys. Will give that a go!
[Q] How to convert any "initrd.gz" of NAND/NativeSD ROM to "SD" Version?
I'm successfully convert many ICS NAND ROMs and others to SD version.
I used UBUNTU to create the .ext4 system/data files
I used the Updater-script to 'grep' the required actions for setting the symlinks and permissions.
With the Help of the NAND version of the Initrd.gz, I success for many ROMs to create updated Initrd.gz and it Boots fine.
With Others new ROM, it Hangs at booting process which needs much time and efforts to study the init.rc, initcleo.................... which i can't.
I have tried to convert the "Initrd.gz" of many ROMs to SD version but always failed.
The reason is the Technique for SD definitions in "init.rc", init.htcleo.rc, ......." which many of us don't know about.
There are some few ROMs has been converted by the cookers and they are working fine.
Most of the New ROMs specially "JB" are not easy to be converted.
Here I'm trying to find a guide or special instructions for those specific files mentioned above to step over a restricted way for conversion.
Please, if any of you has experience in this or did his experimental tries for the same to help us in here.

This is actually a great thread and it helped me much but it doesn't support JB as i stated in the first post.
Hi,
why don't you use NativSD?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda app-developers app
Why No NativeSD
Because i like to try many ROMs without intervention.
When i use the normal SD versions for ROM then i need to test another rom, all what i need to do is:
1- Remove the old files for that ROM from the folder and copy the other.
2- Keep both ROMs and play with them.
3- In case i need to do Backup, simply copy all directory files to any storage (So simple).
But with Native SD, it requires many procedures like (Prepare the SD, create parti., .........) which i don't like that way.
I always prefer the SD method and i love to convert NAND ROMs or NativeSD to SD.
Anyhow, thanks for your question but i didn't yet got a reply.
Hi. How to change roms in NativeSD Multiboot? When I change rom it says I have to reboot, I reboot and I still see the first rom :/ Why? What should I do?
which version of native SD Multiboot do you have & how many naiveSD Roms installed?
when you press switch rom, choose the next ROM > reboot is on the upper left corner of ver 10
I have apk version 9.0, CLK 1.5.1.6 (from kokotas) and 2 roms installed (both NativeSD). I do have reboot option in menu, but it only reboots active rom...
All right, got it. Just had to flash sboot. I've thought I have to flash it once ever so it adds sboot, but I have to flash it with each rom...
EDIT
No, still the same, I had thought if it booted after install then it works, but switching doesn't work...
Anyone knows?
Are you sure you have your NativeSD set up correctly in the boot loader (I'm using MAGLDR, so I can't say how this is done for CLK)?
You should have the "AD SD Dir" (the directory that the boot loader will boot from) set to "NativeSD", and not some subdirectory in there.
Apologies if this is irrelevant for CLK; as said, I'm not very familiar with that bootloader.
I know what is wrong. But I don't know why. When I press switch rom, new rom's initrd.gz and zimage goes to NativeSD folder on SDCard. Then app tries to flash sboot, but it doesn't manage. I have to flash it manually, and it works then.
Connect your hd2 to pc .. navigate to native sd folder..
You should see rom folders and ..two files zimage init.gz (kind of something i dnt remember the exact name)
Now which ever rom you want to select.. navigate to the folder..copy the two files (init.gz and zimage) and replace it in the main native sd folder .. simple and reboot.. yhis is manual changing of native sd rom
