I used the following:

misc ya 1M

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

boot yboot|ro 10M

system ya 390M

cache ya 5M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

Just want to reiterate that the GO GO GO issue is after flashing the rom - I can boot in CWR fine - The weird thing is that I have always followed what the chef has recommended in his/her rom - This issue has had me stumped - I virtually can't install any NAND rom - Maybe I should try a third SD card? I just don't know.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dawid.:
Did you try to install the one I gave to you?

Because from what I can see you are trying to install build with HTC SENSE right?

Try to install the one I gave you it is simple clean gingerbread rom.

If you tried then I don't know, try task29 and then try to install it all again.

Or try installing SD card version
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafiqzadah:
Okay I will give you exact instructions. And BTW the Daf.exe is so you can boot into AD Recovery in MagLd.

1. Task 29.

2. Go to toolkit and Center Left you will see box with sizes of 150 200...... Click on 200M. Under that box is a little box with 45M as default cache size, change it to 5M.

4. Go in MagLdr. This is what I mean, try to go to Option "8. AD Recovery." It wont right? So go into Option "5. USB Flasher" and run the Daf.exe from the Coredroid folder and run as administrator.

5. Once finished boot into MagLdr once more this time going to Option "8. AD Recovery."

6. (This step is optional, but mandditory if you have not done so already)Once in AD Recovery, go to "Advance" menu, partition SdCard, and use the size 1024M,it will ask for swap size next, use 0M.

7. Once partitioned, go back to "Mounts and Storage" then to "Mount USB Storage."

8. Once mounted, copy the Pyramid Rom to root of SdCard. Once finished, hit back arrow once.

9. Go to "Install ZIP from SDCard" then "Choose ZIP from SdCard" and choose the Pyramid Rom. Let the flashing finish. And reboot phone.

10. Let the phone settle for 5 minutes in first boot, go through Setup. Then reboot phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spuri78:
I was trying all the HTC Sense builds but even a MIUI build giving me headaches - Obviously, I'm doing something wrong but can't figure it out - I have tested the SD card version and that works fine i.e dual boot Windows Mobile and Android - Sorry, which gingerbread rom you want me to install?

I'm heading to work - will try when I get back
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dawid.:
Download CWR 4.0 and flash it in MAGLDR (it has configured parition size for this rom so just flash it don't change anything): http://www.multiupload.com/VZ1WB57AOY

then

Download this rom: http://www.multiupload.com/8UPNV5WUZU and install it in CWR.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mohammedhameed:
one option: switch to DAF(MAGDLR)....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spuri78:
Thanks Dawid - So I'll follow the following steps:

Format SD Card

Task 29 (from toolkit)

Flash Radio (from toolkit)

Install MAGLDR (from toolkit)

Run DAF.exe from CWM folder

do the usual like wipe cache and stuff

Partition Card

Flash Rom

Is this ok?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spuri78:
faaaaark - I'm afraid to say but the freakin thing is stuck at GO GO GO after flashing the rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spuri78:
So I guess I'd never be able to install Android via CWR - The only way would be via daf and very few chefs have that option these days :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafiqzadah:
Dude with the steps that you told us you're taking, correct me if I'm wrong, you flashed radio VIA Toolkit? If so, that cannot be done, it only flashes with custom RUU. Download it here: http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F

This above radio is 2.15.5(0). Not 2.15.5(1). Maybe that is you problem? Because as far as I know radio cannot be flashed from toolkit.

Give it just one more try with Ksubedi's toolkit.

And BTW after "Task29" flashing new radio and the wiping issue not needed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spuri78:
Mate you can - Please see screenshot attached - Previously, I have tried flashing the 2.15.50.14 without the toolkit as well - I tried flashing a Windows 7 rom via DWI method - I've never had issues with flashing a Windows 7 rom but yesterday I couldn't flash that either - After flashing the rom, the screen gave me fatal hit 3 error or something - Maybe there's something wrong with the SD card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafiqzadah:
Okay sorry for my stuborness. So I guess as a last resort, try to find yourself another SdCard, try it on that with CWR 3.0.2.5. And not 4.0.0 as I see in the screen provided by use because I have seen complaints of people having problems with latest version of CWR. This specific CWR version as provided by every chef.

Edit: okay did some reading and I think you might have bad sectors on phone, there are ways to find out if you do and different methods which have not not been proven 100% to work for everyone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spuri78:
Don't apologise - I didn't mean to discredit your knowledge - I might try another SD card - Thank you so much for continuing to look into my issue - Hangon, bad sectors on phone? so how do I go about fixing it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafiqzadah:
The bad sectors I don't know of because it Neva happened to me. But I do know that bad sectors is memory on you phone that cannot be written to anymore, and depending on where the bad sectors are located. It can reek havoc on phone. And based on you having so many problems with any type of flash I would suggest looking into it. To do so Google mtty in Google. You should get pointed in the right direction. And another thing, do this just to get an idea as to where your flashing is going wrong. Create a boot log before flashing in the AD Recovery "advance" menu. I don't know where to go from there because again this Neva happened to me, I just read up on XDA and Google's it for you. Google all that Im telling you and I'm sure you will get pointed in the right direction. I will try to memorize some helfdpful tips for you so you get started with android. But later, not now sorry.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafiqzadah:
This is from AngelDeath, Dev. This will help for you to figure out what is causing the no boot.

That last sentence is very important, because for your no boot, when you lets say partition for 190 but because of the bad blocks you might have 150 instead, and so no boot. That specific tutorial by AngelDeath also is a log of how the Rom is flashed and it will give as to where the Rom is boot looping and you can take up with a dev or I can give you more stubbornness of mine xD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spuri78:
Thanks rafiqzadah

I'll get to your recent post in a minute but in response to you MTTY, I followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623356 - Please look at Post #4 - Step 5c talks about type "task 29" to get your device formatted - So when I did that, I got the following output:

Cmd>task 29

Format BINFS start

Fill RSVD information for block 497 to 530

CE start start block=530, total block=3566

erase_page - error bad status: 0xB791EA20

ERASE block 91 FAIL !!!

erase_page - error bad status: 0xB791EA20

ERASE block 1060 FAIL !!!

erase_page - error bad status: 0xB791EA20

ERASE block 2681 FAIL !!!

TAG NOT FOUND !!! NOT CLEAR STORAGE !!!

Format BINFS end

so obviously you can see that I have bad blocks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spuri78:
so now it's confirmed that my phone has bad blocks, which rom you think I should flash and with what partition?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafiqzadah:
Honestly I don't know, there is GoldCard method and a task2"8"(without quotes) and a task 2a method that "could" if your lucky, fix the bad blocks. And FYI, the bad blocks come only with android. So Google the task2a because for some it works. And the gold card method is like you know how you use CustomRUU to flash sometimes, just like that but done through your SDCard. And if you read AngelDeath's post he mentions that Tmous users can work around it by flashing EU versions of Roms but EU users are not so lucky. And as per Rom I would say try CM7 which has 150 partition and ShiftBoyPPc has a sense build with 150 partition. And another thing you could do is on xda homepage, not the forum but xda where you see like the latest threads, there is post that takes out all bloatware from sense build, wait let me get you link.

Edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050283

That is the link for the thread, so.do this.

1. Flash CM7, see if it boots.

2. Flash the shiftppc sense Rom, should be v4. And see if it boots, if not do step three.

3. READ THE OP ON THE ABOVE LINK. It will tell you how you could keep the sense apk's you want in the Rom.

Hi.

How do i know which of the partition layouts to choose for myself:

cLK 150MB System/5MB Cache (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.5)

or

cLK 140MB System/5MB Cache (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.5)?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
the rom you want to dlash will usually tell you what to use.

Or, if you unzip the rom, check the size of the system folder once extracted, , make the partition size a little bigger, , say 5, 10 meg.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SageKing:
more infos please

which rom you want to flash? it depends on the rom which partition layout you need.

TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.3
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voncrane:
Are u talking of this [25.May.11][MAG/cLK]TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.3[2.3.4][A2SD][tytung r10]? Cuz if u are then i really don't think u should be flashing such a build seeing as u r fairly new to the flashing world...XDA user "Tyween" seemed quite clear when he wrote ;

"With the help of crawlingcity and rafpigna on IRC, I bring you my CyanogenMod 7 ROM flashable by CWM. Currently A 140MB system partition and 5MB cache partition is required. Any system partition over 140MB will work, but will leave less NAND space for /data/ (which means less room for internally installed applications). The system partition size of this ROM used to be 125MB, but it has grown in size. With that said, 140MB is fine for now,

but 150MB is what I would recommend

to people who would rather not bother with repartitioning later if the system size grows again. Links to both 140MB and 150MB partition sizes are linked to later in this post. I plan to update this to the latest nightly frequently and keep up with the latest fixes. The purpose of this build is to port the latest stock CyanogenMod 7 Desire (bravo) base to HD2 with the minimal amount of changes required with no custom apps. Keep in mind that this is my personal build and I am sharing it with you."

The above "1st' paragraph means since d system partition used 2 be 125MB but has recently grown to 140MB then its most likely it'll increase in d future to 150MB, so its best to flash 150MB NOW rather than have to re-wipe ur partition ( & ROM) ltr on...So just flash 150MB.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] priseli:
you right!:o

thank you:)

but i've downloaded this 150 version, but can't flash...

getting error:(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SageKing:
yeah cLK is more difficult to flash than MAGLDR, but there are a lot of guides you can use. Just look into the Stickies-Rollup-Thread in the NAND developers forum.

I think there are better roms to flash than the Typhoon CM7 (its a good one but with a lot of little problems). You can try the CM7 of Pongsters Hyperdroid which is a lot faster thanCM7 builds and there are a lot of informations in his Thread(FAQ).

Hope i can help you out with this informations.

[Desire General] robinta:
Using the various methods/tips/tricks for charging the desire, I can usually get the power up to c. 4201mv or thereabouts. After rooting and resetting battery stats, no matter what I do the max is 4157mv.

I dont know how much difference this makes in real terms - but I obviously want as much juice as possible. I`ve tried recalibrating and wiping battery stats again to no avail.

I`m running redux 1.2 ROM - so dont know if this is related to the ROM, a gingerbread `feature` or just following the stat wipe.

Anyone any clues or am I bothered over nothing ?
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Some batteries are able to get to 4192mV, others not. As long its about 4100mV, everything is allright. I also run redux and i am happy with the battery life. This is the thing i care about, not the tension. You should do, too. ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topcattroy:
Can you root the thunderbolt and keep the stock kernal or go back to stock kernal and stay rooted.

I'm asking because i found out that my stock kernal is what is letting me get

caller announcement in my bluetooth.

My girlfriend got the droid charge and everything software wise is the same

except the kernal, and she only get the number spoken in her bluetooth.

So the kernal must be what it is.

can i root and then go back to the stock kernal and stay rooted.

And is there a way to put my kernal from my thunderbolt onto her charge

so she can get the voice announcment too?

Thanks for any help.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tryceo:
The thunderbolt and the charge are two.completely different phones. I don't think your kernel will work on hers.

If you want stock kernel but just s-off, the I recommend you go to the sticky Rom thread and look down to the kernel section. You should find what you are looking for.

[Samsung Mesmerize] jpaulwaite:
I rarely do things wrong, thank god, but I'm stuck on this one, tator. I used root explorer to delete and replace the gallery apk, it launches and runs, but I'm missing the vloume down bit. It does the same thing hitting the menu softkey does, highlights an image. It tilts and whatnot the same in the stock gallery. And on a last note, it sized my thumbs wrong so I don't get the whole image in the preview, just about 1/3 of it.

Poop nuggets.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
well your not the only one cause mine does exactly as you just described. The only real diff I have seen is it seems to load a little quicker and such. Also the pictures seem to be clearer in this one as well.

thats rather odd....i just followed the instructions on that link and it worked perfectly... after i got into the gallery, i hit vol down 1 time and the gallery moved based on my censors and the way i tilted the phone....what ROM are you guys on?

i was on Heinz_57!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
H57. Now when you say moved. Do you mean the pictures move left and right meaning you can scroll through ypur pics by tlting the phone or just that they move around.

you scroll through the pics by tilting your phone

I've completely removed the galary.apk along with everything related to cooliris media and then reinstalled this one back to system/app and still no go. Same results as jpaul. So I don't know.

[Desire HD General] droidkaw:
Hey there

i debranded, rooted, downgraded and flashed Android Revoltion HD 5.1.7 on my DHD.

Everything worked fine.

Then I flashed some Sense 3 Addons (in the right order)

And everything worked fine. ;)

THEN I flashed the CRT Addon (which was really cool :-D)

And everthing worked fine.

Well, 2 days later, I wanted to shut down my DHD over the night.

It didnt worked well, cant describe it anymore, but I had to push the POWER button more then twice to finally shut it down.

And on the next morning: the DHD only booted to the HTC Logo.

Bootloader was still there BUT the recovery couldnt be loaded.

SO, after that I used the PD98IMG and flashed it over.

But it didnt worked.

And today, the DHD doesnt even turns on.

My plan was, to connect it to the PC and flash a 1.32. via RUU.

But now, its pretty much dead.

It doesnt even lights up, when its plugged in to charge

Is there anything I could do or try?
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Hi,

When you remove & reinsert your battery & plug into your PC do you get an Orange charging LED? Don't try to turn your handset on just yet.
[Desire HD General] droidkaw:
Just tried it, and: yes, orange LED is on

/edit:

Well... that means what?

Is there a chance for hope?

or is it bricked, regardless of that :(
[Desire HD General] Andy:
There is always hope.

While plugged in and with the Orange light showing open a cmd window and navigate to your SDK/platform-tools folder

now run

adb devices

you should get a readout of your HTC device

now run,

adb reboot recovery

You should now boot into recovery.

Perform a full wipe, system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Then reflash ARHD again, and reboot once complete.

You will lose all un-backedup data, but your SDcard data is safe.
[Desire HD General] droidkaw:
Damn..

When I type adb devices, it wont find the DHD..
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Its definately plugged into your PC & the Orange LED is on?
[Desire HD General] droidkaw:
Yes.

But i have to say, i had similiar problems in the past:

i couldnt use those "one click tools" for S-Off and stuff.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Have you tried to access the bootloader? Vol Down + Power.
[Desire HD General] droidkaw:
Sure.

But that doesnt work. The DHD doesnt do anything...

Instead of the orange LED when plugged in (but only if i not tried to boot)

Btw.:

after unplugging it from the pc: the orange LED stays on. it wont go off..
[Desire HD General] droidkaw:
i tried it on another pc,

adb devices gives out the list,

but my DHD is not listed :(
[Desire HD General] Andy:
How many HTC devices do you have plugged in? The information it returns should look similar to

<Your SDK\platform-tools path>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT0[B]xxxxxxxx[/B]6 recovery
[Desire HD General] droidkaw:
I have no other HTC devices plugged in.

and in my case, it looks like:

<Your SDK\platform-tools path>adb devices
List of devices attached

its just empty -.-

it DID worked on my pc - it was listed and i could 'communicate' over usb

but now, its not listed..
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Keep trying, once you get a positive return

run

adb reboot recovery

or

adb reboot bootloader

Preferably recovery first.
[Desire HD General] droidkaw:
is it still possible that it works, even if it doesnt at the moment?

ok, i'm gonna try it then

hope dies last..
[Desire HD General] makec3rt:
try reinstall HTC Sync.
[Desire HD General] raze599:
Yep just keep trying. Android is a bit unpredictable this way.

Also, just to make sure you have no other factors involved, take out the Sim card and the SD card. Just to make sure no other factors are involved.
[Desire HD General] droidkaw:
thx for the help mates, but i dont think this gonna work.

tried it several times now, and on 3 different pc's.

it just wont work.

i called my provider yesterday and gonna send it in tomorrow :(

hope it wont take to long AND it wont cost to much (if the find out that its my fault ; )
