Before first boot replace initrd.gz with the one from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22261331&postcount=898 and delete sd-boot file.

This will enable you to boot system from RAM.

As for root, both ways should be rooted. So I am not sure why you have root problem. It might be a corrupted DL. Check MD5 of unextracted folders, mine are;

Portadroid 4.0 .zip=345c7d51e4ac904c9f95988ed18d0080

Just to share my experience with you , I'm having exactly the same problems with MIUI builds,also they seem to have root problems in some apps like rom manager or Rom toolbox .. I don't have a lot of time lately , but as soon I get this figured out I Will share, if someone figures this out post solution here please.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kunsam:
Yes, I too am trying a couple of MIUI builds. In fact, it 'finds' my wifi network but doesn't connect to it. Calls and sms work fine but 3G (or even Edge) just doesn't work although APN settings are correct.

Would really love to see this small problem sorted out.

IceCreamTosti v0.8 [26-02-12] by Xylograph

IceCreamTosti gets even better with v0.8 Portadroid on SD. These are the steps to port:

1) Create a folder on your SD card called "ICS"

2) Download Portadroid Ultimate v4.0 and unzip to ICS <http:\\xdaforums.com/showthread.php? t=1094372> Change "startup.txt" to suit yourself -my one reads "rel_path=ICS data_size=512 gps_zone=uk".

3) Download IceCreamTosti v0.8 [26-02-12] by Xylograph <http:\\xdaforums.com/showthread.php? t=1441462>. Unzip as follows to ICS/root folder. (In this version 0.8 there is no need to use TYTung files to get WiFi working). The files to be copied are :

data, META-INF & System -> ICS/root
sdcard/media -> ICS/root/system/media
clk/*.* -> ICS/root/system

4) In Windows Mobile, in the ICS folder, run clrcad.exe, then haret.exe. (Note clrcad is required even if it does not appear to do anything). Portadroid will take 5 to 10 minutes to port the rom and reboot to windows - this is normal. Run clrcad & haret again and this time ICS will load. After ICS setup, I strongly recommend a reboot and then in windows, run clrcad and haret a third time to let everything settle.

The screenshots show some of the nice features of IceCreamTosti v0.8

Cheers

[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Thanks again Szczepanik:)

Just to share my experience with you;)

I managed to port 0.8a using your method above with the addition of replacing the zImage in the portadroid Android folder with the one from tosti kernel/boot. I am not sure whether this was necessary.

I also managed to enable superRAM with a /system/system.ext4 file of 133Mb. I am not sure if this size is too big.

I also managed to change LCD density by using ubuntu to edit the build.prop file before first boot. We had trouble with this before with superRAM version, because the ROM control lcd settings don't work.

Lastly Someone asked before whether the files in root_tmp were necessary after porting. It seems, at least with the superRAM version, that they are unnecessary and can be deleted, saving space. Is this ok?

Edit; just DLed wis1152's 0.8a Tostidroid superRAM and system.ext4 is 100Mb, he's done it again!?!

Also very lastly, some people have had trouble getting box accounts etc. and a way to overcome this is to change in build.prop ro.product.model to for example Nexus S 4G. Most ROM cookers use HTC HD2 or Nexus HD2, is there a reason for this? Such as copyright infringement or xda rules?

Sorry for long post, open to all repliers;)

Portadroid SuperRAM GB

Boonbing - Many thanks for this versatile Portadroid SuperRAM GB! This is the easiest way to run Android on your HTC HD2 - particularly for your "Currently tested and supported Gingerbread 2.3.3 & 2.3.4 ROMs". No matter how you write instructions, not everyone will get it. In particular I expect that some people who have been having problems have misunderstood what is the "/Android/root folder". Sometimes a picture is easier to understand.

The "Android/root/" folder is the folder called "root" which is found under the folder called "Android".

It is not the root of the Android folder! If your "META-INF" and "system" folders are in the same place as the "rooot" folder then you have done it wrong!

The third image shows the contents of HTC Desire - Oxygen 2 by Adamg.

After you have copied the Oxygen "META-INF" and "system" folders to "Android/root/", your Android folder should still look like this:

You will only see the "META-INF" and "system" folders when you look at the Android folder:

Once you get the folders from your chosen ROM in the right place in the Portadroid "Android/root/" folder, everything works perfectly.

THANK YOU!

Cheers

booting from winmo everything works in oxygen except usb file tranfer, but i can live with that, now i´m trying to find a good sense rom.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Graeme748:
I too love the idea of this 'tool'. However I have now tried loading the 3 supported ROMs with the following results:

- Desire ROM - Oxygen - went through the initial boot process and re-booted after 3 minutes as expected. Once WM6.5 had loaded I ran clrcad & haret, it only got to the first screen white writing at the top left of screen and hung. Subsequent tries had the same effect.

- Nand ROM - NexusHD2 & Hyperdroid - went through the initial boot process and re-booted after 3 minutes as expected. Once WM6.5 had loaded I ran clrcad & haret, went through the same boot process after 1 minute on the green HTC logo re-booted again, etc, etc, never loading.

I only changed "gps=au" in startup.txt for the Desire ROM and "ported_rom=nand" and "gps=au" in startup.txt for the Nand ROMs.

Any clues to what I am doing wrong?
[HD2 Android SD Development] adityo97:
yes, ure problem is the same with me, usb files cant transfer any files..

wonder does adhoc data connection works?

yes, been there..

put the meta and system folder inside the "root" folder in android folder

the "root" folder inside the android are already there and empty, just simply copy paste to it...

#ps : at first i thought that "root" here means like not inside any folder as we all know it, but then, there is a folder called root ^^ inside the android folder.. lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] ebliss:
Finally manage to get oxygen 2.1.3 running after multiple failures. The usb function is not working.

The below is what I see happening:

When you run first clrcad & haret, the contents in the "root" and "update" folder will be copied to the newly created system.ext2 and then deleted. A data.img is created as well. A 1GB data.img took me about 10 mins.

After the system.ext2 and data.img is created, the device will reboot. After reboot, you will see that the "reboot" file is no longer in the folder. The files in the "update" and "root" folders will not be present as well.

When you run clrcad & haret for the 2nd time, portadroid will do the necessary movements of files imported into system.ext2 based on whether it is desire or nand rom. It will take quite a while. And then boot as usual.

I kept having problems after the 1st boot with oxygen 2.1.3. It can boot into the welcome/setup screen. Afterwhich, I keep getting lots of FCs. After shutting down, it wouldnt go pass the HTC screen for a few times. Had to keep pulling out the battery. Not sure what happen but after multiple tries, I finally managed to get to the lock screen within 2 minutes. And has been successful for the subsequent attempts.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Graeme748:
Thanks for your advice on this - now it works! I think the instructions on Post #1 should be updated to clarify where the meta and system folders need to be copied to (i.e. Android/root < here, not Android/ < here)

I have now successfully installed NexusHD2.

- wifi connect to uni network no problem

- used this to connect the Market

- downloaded and installed Titanium Backup

- unfortunately, cannot run Titanium Backup to restore my apps because app could not get root access

[Update] I have now successfully installed Oygen and it seems to working perfectly for me. Wifi, Market, Titanium backup - all good. Will try BT today which is critical for me.

[HD2 Android SD Development] zmaku:
Great job Boonbing! Thanks for making this thread.I very much like the idea to use the NANd build without flashing it :) I'm testing since yesterday, and I'm very satisfied with how it's turned out. I installed the Hyperdroid build from the first post and it' working great. No problems with anything. Speed and battery life are great. Just occasionally slowdowns for a few seconds when installing the app from market.But it's not a big deal.

So I have one question : are the bugs and problems in this coming from the build we porting with Portadroid or from the Portadroid it self? I'm not quite clear to whom to address the bugs to be solved and should we look for some solutions in the threads of the original builds.

Regarding the USB transfer not working for some people, I had the same problem with the first unofficial Boonbings build and found that the "Dual mount SD" app (or maybe some similar apps too) solves the problem.

Regarding the problems with the Sense build I believe there is the size issue (let someone correct me if I'm wrong) with them and I'm quoting the Boonbing from his initial post :

"Pay attention to the ROM size if you're downloading one that is different from the tested and supported list above. If unpacked size is more than 150MB, then it won't fit into the default 150MB system.ext2.!!! "

Thanks again Boombing for the opportunity to enjoy the great NAND build beside the SD ones. :)
