[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mistrK:
Hi,

I am a complete newb to HTC and know hardly anything about installing a NAND rom on my HTC HD2.

I bought the phone recently on Ebay, it was running windows 6.5 but I wanted to change it to the latest Android rom. I just want it to be Android, run smooth and fast, be able to access android store and get latest apps, have wifi, 3GS and all the features that the phone can handle.

Basically I am stuck on the MAGDLR V1.12 main screen after following mskip's guide on flashing a HD2. I installed HARDSPL 2.08 and flashed MAGDLR 1.13.

I then followed 'langthang's' guide on installing his latest rom updated on 31 Jan by 'flashing Recovery with edit' then done a partition recovery v1.13 150MB ( this is where I think I may have chosen to little). This is where I am stuck at and do not know what to do next on installing a rom.

I know this may seem very 'newb' to many of you but I would be grateful for your guidance on just installing a good rom.

Thanks :)

When I go to AD Recovery it says in red ERROR: Invalid boot image header. And on startup something about kernel open failed.

i am completely confused and need help!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gdsbalaji:
install cwm recovery (latest is 5.0.x.x) again with correct partition size required by the rom. you need to edit flash.cfg and enter the correct size e.g.150 or 200 etc..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mistrK:
I have installed CWM 5.0.2.6 with a 200 partition size and can go to the AD recovery menu now. How do I edit the flash.cfg and actually go about putting the rom on the sd card using MAGDLR, I amconfused on that aswell do I extract the rom to my desktop or just put the rom zip file straight on the SD??

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gdsbalaji:
Put rom zip without tampering with it if don't know wat to do...then get into cwm recovery ... install froM SD card n choose the zip...

Flash.cfg can be opened in notepad
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mistrK:
Ok.

I do not get the Flash.cfg part at all, what do I edit and copy? I am using the HDToolkit4 2.01 to partition it now.

Also do I have to put the rom on the SD card to extract it from cwm recovery, not by going into USB mass storage mode??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
I would suggest installing notepad++, you open the CWM folder you download and right click the flash.cfg file. Then you can edit the recovery size there.

I would suggest that you do not use MAGLDR to transfer a rom to your sdcard as there is a good chance it will corrupt, file transfer is still unstable. Just flash the correct recovery size, then boot into recovery from MAGLDR and transfer the rom to your sdcard there.

Do not extract the rom zip by the way, just place the whole zip on your sd and flash that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mistrK:
What do I exactly edit?? Where is the CWM folder?? I still do not get this part at all, can someone guide me through it..

I flashed the recovery size through the HDToolKit...

Also, when putting the ROM on the SD Card, Do I have to take out the SD and put the ROM on that way with a adapter on my PC, OR can I just boot into recovery from MAGLDR and then connect my phone via USB with the SD inside and transfer it that way??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mistrK:
*****bump ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
If you look at the flash.cfg in Langthang's thread, yours should look exactly like that when opened (make sure to open flash.cfg, not flash.cfg.txt) in notepad++ or whatever notepad type thing (not MS Word) and just change yours to look the same as the example one then save it. You should only have to change the numbers. Flash the new recovery then copy the ROM as a zipped folder onto your sd card using a card reader if possible. Boot into recovery then select install zip from SD card, select your file and there you go, one working HD2 with Android :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
Ok I attached the recovery that I use with Team Blue Droid (credits to Dansta for porting it for us)

Open that .7z file and extract the folder to somewhere on your computer. Open the folder and inside you will see a bunch of files (one of which is the flash.cfg).

Now right click that and edit it with either notepad or notepad++ and adjust the recovery size as need for the rom of your choice. Save it and then while booting into MAGLDR connect your phohne to your PC.

Select the Daf.exe file and let it run, once completed you will have successfully flashed your recovery. Just boot into recovery from MAGLDR and then select mount usb (I believe that is the option). Then you can mount your sdcard and copy the rom that way. Once done just flash the rom with the install zip from sdcard option.

Post if you have more questions
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
HI,

First I've written a guide to magldr and clk, so if you want a little extra info it may help.

Second, I would recommend the program called "HD2 Toolkit" Their is a link to it also in my guide.

You need to consider updating to magldr 1.13 if you are going to use magldr, things will just work better with the latest version. Also unless you have a very good idea of what you're doing, the new clk1.5 rc1 is probably your best bet, it makes everything so much simpler.

But back to your magldr problem and the hd2 toolkit program, this program is an automatic flasher for the hd2, magldr clk and cwm.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mistrK:
OK thanks. What Roms do u reckon I download?? I want all the general features and Appstore..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
You know it really depends on your preference as there is a wide range. There are Sense roms (2.1-3.5) AOSP roms, CM7 roms, MIUI roms, and CM9/ICS roms. The choice is really up to you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mistrK:
OK thanks alot for the help guys, learnt alot. Managed to sort it all out and installed this Rom on it, everything looks to be working fine.

Thank You!

[HTC Sensation] Cliff Edge:
Hi guys, please tell me what the heck I am doing wrong with ICS ROMs because I just feel powerless.

Tried some time ago OnceICS ROM (on 3.12 firmware), then switched to Virtuous Inquisition, then Virtuous Quattro (3.24 firmware) and now I'm on newest OnceICS on 3.24 unlocked firmware.

Every ROM change was dictated by the fact that my ROM kept turning off very randomly - on data transfer (I guess), after sending/receiving SMS, before/after phonecall - no rule, once it worked, another time I had like 10 turn offs per hour. Can't even do a logcat because it mostly happens when I'm out of home, where the signal can or is lower than at home (where I have full and barely no turn offs).

Every ROM change I hope this one gonna work but the problem still remains.

Sitting on supercid, did wipes, superwipes, fix permissions, battery wipe, no OC kernels, changed recovery to 4ext touch..

I flashed OnceICS yesterday I thought it is finally fine. But today it started rebooting like every before. probably today I will flash just once a sense rom like insertcoin, but I have no hope.

What is wrong with my phone? :\
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
insert-coin is not a de-sensed ROM

Did you by any chance restore data from a backup after flashing the ROM because this can often cause this sort of bugs
[HTC Sensation] Cliff Edge:
Whoops I meant "sense rom like insertcoin" because I tried roms with sense stripped out.

I do not restore data, I do titanium backup, sometimes use it to restore some apps but none of system stuff (contacts are synced by google, sms are restored by Go SMS Pro, everything else I configure on every reinstall). Like right now, I have plain OnceICS with only few apps installed from market but I had turn offs before I installed them too so I don't think they are the problem here :\
[HTC Sensation] tbeelen:
Maybe you should install a factory ROM first, to look if it solves your problem..?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Agreed, try a Gingerbread ROM then you can figure out whether it's an ICS problem alone or possibly hardware related.
[HTC Sensation] Cliff Edge:
Yeah I will probably install gingerbread :/ But, damn, ICS is awesome, I like it very much, especially the way it behaves and looks. It's sad I need to go back to gingerbread
[HTC Sensation] tbeelen:
Don't give up, if Gingerbread runs well, just try again (maybe another) ICS ROM.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
It's a bummer but if it's a hardware fault best to find it and get it sorted IMO.
[HTC Sensation] Cliff Edge:
It was fine before I switched to ICS. But ok, tomorrow morining, gingerbread strike back. What's the best 2.3 ROM right now? Because there is quite a mess in "android development" forums because of ICS.
[HTC Sensation] tez1019:
MR. Edge, first let me say I feel your pain I myself went through exactly what you are going through. I thought I was going to have to get a new phone. But then I found this Post:

http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon2.gif

I know you said you did all these things but it wont hurt at this point to double check yourself and make sure everything is done correctly. I have had my sensation since June and have been rooted since july so I thought I knew everything there was to know about this phone. turns out I didnt lol and I still dont know what I missed but after I follwed this guide step by step I was able to load ARHD 6.1 without any issues. I have been auto off free for 3 days and counting.

and if that dosent work you can still go back to GB and ARHD has a nice rom for that as well. Good Luck

I'm on 3.12 F/W and happily run Virtuous Inquisition (or Quattro) and CM7 on the phone.

All the ICS based ROMs are a bit un-stable as they're based on un-released binaries from HTC. As you might tell from the ROMs I listed I'm more into AOSP based ones than Sense ones.

The battery life I have now is better than ever, TBH not certain if that's ICS, Radio or F/W.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
For AOSP ROM , I suggest Virtuous Inquisition till CM official released for sensation...
[HTC Sensation] Cliff Edge:
Thanks for answers, I gave up for now, switched to 1.17 fw and cm7. I miss ICS :(

So far it works fine but not as smooth as ICS. But the most I miss rotation animation :D
[HTC Sensation] Cliff Edge:
Jesus, what is going on :\ I'm on CM7 right now and it can turn off as well :\ Tomorrow I will install stock rom... Before I started playing with ICS everything was fine, no turn offs :\
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
If I were in your shoes I would reflash the RUU for your device and rule out a hardware failure. Not to mention if anything is left over from all of your flashes it can lead to problems. Just start over, don't ask for help and then be stubborn about the suggested solutions.
[HTC Sensation] Cliff Edge:
OK I will do so
[HTC Sensation] tehjeh:
I was about to post a thread but google pointed me here. I have the EXACT same problem as you do Cliff. I highly doubt it is caused by hardware, and as Tez recommended I followed that guide verbatim. Still having problems. It's so frustrating because I LOVE ICS.
[HTC Sensation] Cliff Edge:
Right now I'm on stock ROM, dedicated to my phone (rubbish Orange PL branding etc.), rooted it just to restore some games.

and it still can turn off from time to time :\ I've had no such issue before trying ICS. Dunno what else I can do.
[HTC Sensation] tehjeh:
For me, it's starting to seem more and more like the battery stats are way off. But no matter how many times I wipe them and try to re-calibrate, it still gets way off within a day or two.

Cliff, did your percentages jump around each time you turned your phone back on?
[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
I have these problems too !! I'm going to s off and send to HTC
[HTC Sensation] :
May be worth trying a battery monitor app to see if overheating is causing the problem?
[HTC Sensation] Cliff Edge:
Hello again,

So, I have Mugen Power Battery 1950mAh now and.. it really helped. I've been using it for 3 weeks and no random turn of since then! :) I had only one BUT only during a stress test - I had like 30% left and I turned on: wifi hotspot, flashlight and linpack so my Amp usage was more than 1 A :D After 30 minutes it turned of but it could be because it just died because of no power ;)

Battery life is also muuuch muuuch better, not only because of more mAh but it just drains much slower comparing to HTC battery.

Will HTC replace my original battery on warranty?
[HTC Sensation] sickorwuut:
You mind posting link to where you bought it? Having same issue and frankly I'm feeling the same way..powerless :(..But for me it's every time I lock my device that this happens. Someone said leave battery pulled out overnight so I'm going to try this. Will report back if it works!;)
[HTC Sensation] darksupernova:
Ive been having this EXACT same problem for a while too. Ive tried all sorts.

I started this thread but never found anything useful except...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1490498

Someone linked me to this battery fix:

http://www.mediafire.com/?2a8837bcatym1ju

That worked for one ROM but when I updated it, even with the bat fix the problems persisted.

I have the same battery percentage problems, sometimes it jumps up (just went from ~50% to ~80%, and sometimes down.

I have been looking at other batteries online as its my last ditch effort, but im worried whatever has broken my stock battery will just ruin this one too (thoughts?):

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2450mAh-H...ltDomain_3&hash=item43ac945265#ht_3621wt_1163

I did try returning to full stock but found it so awful that I gave up after an hour or so. Im thinking about buying a new battery to see if that helps, but before I do that Im experimenting with some other ROMS. Been using Insertcoin's Sense 4 ROM, ill try elegencia and see if thats any better. This is causing so much trouble!

Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] sickorwuut:
Seems like many users are having this problem. Brother has same phone will try his battery and see if that helps.
[HTC Sensation] darksupernova:
I switched back to gingerbread yesterday and so far I've had no problems which would indicate its not a hardware issue...? Usually by now I've had a few shut downs..
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
Currently struggling with the exact same issues described here. The problem didn't start until I flashed ICS ROMS.

Please let us know if you found any fixes because I can't handle this anymore and might just buy a new phone.
[HTC Sensation] darksupernova:
I returned to FULL stock, but the problem comes back, this is the ONLY way to fix it im afraid:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1490498

The motherboard needs replacing. Its free if its still inside warranty from HTC and only takes a week. They pick it up from home or work, and then drop it back to home or work 5 working days later, its a great service. Phone is perfect again now.

Good luck!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android311:
Can I delete cwm off my SD card since I have Rom manager and can use the cwm in Rom manager?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
Well, if you burned the CWM image to the sdcard in order to make a bootable SD card, then you could format the card, then flash Clockwork internally. If you mean just delete the clockwork folder itself from the SD card, you could technically delete it, but that is where all your backups are stored. Plus, i would bet it would just reappear when you flash CWM anyway. I don't see much reason for it, if it is taking up valuable space, just limit your stored backups to a chosen few, or store them on a cloud service like dropbox. Without the backups taking up their .75 gigs or so of space, the clockwork folder on the SD card is of negligable size.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android311:
Ok then :) another reason I want to do so is because Rom manager has a diffrent cwm then what's on my SD, so there's two wich is pointless right?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
Oh yeah. That can lead to unbelievably frustrating problems, like backups not restoring and system not mounting and worse. Get rid of the old one and go with the current stable through ROM manager or through the flashable zip in the development thread. ClockworkMod version 3.2.0.1. The last thing, seriously, I think, with the Nook (which is basically unbrickable), the last thing you want is incompatible CWM. The nook itself would still be safe, but all your data and apps would be in serious jeopardy. They would be salvageable, but it would take a detailed and grueling work around.

Get rid of the old, and in with the new. You would still have the folder on the SDcard, but now it will actually have some value.

Edit: If you already have backups you want to keep made in an outdated CWM, let me know. There is a work around, but it involves multiple flashing.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android311:
yes i am running the newest cwm from rom manager, so i will delete the old cwm on sd card, i have 2 sd cards, one with cwm and one empty so when i boot the tablet it wont go into cwm everytime, now that i found cwm in rom manager i guess i can delete and reformat the card
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
If you have a spare card, it can be pretty useful to have the current CWM image burn laying around. With the nook giving boot.priority to.the SD card, any corruption of the device can be set straight with a bootable SD card. Some people make.the card bottable to a particular ROM, but I have mine as a CWM boot loaded with zips.of.my favorite ROMS and backups with my favorite mod settings already applied (V6 supercharger, buiod.prop and other scripts /settings). With my Titanium backups syncing to the cloud, even if calamity of the highest order occurs, I can have the device back just like I want it in relatively short order. Takes about 45 mins to set it all up, but now I can tweak/adjust/flash and break with impunity.

I've read much about rooting, but it always seems to come in conjuncture with going into recovery mode and invoking factory settings..

Is there a way that I could just get root access without losing all of my data?

[GSM Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.0.2]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Akaik the answer is no. Once you unlock the bootloader the device gets wiped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aaagever:
Looks like CF-Root might be able to do the job..

Alright! I love answering myself!

I just found out the CF-Root doesn't wipe the phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396952

Because: "THIS IS NOT A ROM - it is only a modified kernel. You need to have the relevant firmware already on your device. You do NOT need to wipe anything for this patch."

I'll try it an let you all know :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Rooting doesn't wipe your phone, unlocking your bootloader does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
That's what I thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aaagever:
So can I root without unlocking the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
I don't think so. MAybe Josh knows????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
I doubt it: it's set up to do that because anyone can unlock it from fastboot and get full access to the phone, it's an attempt to prevent peeps getting access to the data on a stolen phone.

Hello people,

The difference in transition effects can be seen when you compare RCMix's ICE v3.2.5 rom and Mike's ARHD 6.2.1 rom. RCMix's rom's window transition(going back to homescreen, popup menu etc) is similar to the ASOP window transition, whereas Mike's one is not.

What I'm asking here is is there by any chance any of you know where to locate these window transition files, and is there any way of making mike's ARHD rom to have the same window transition effect?

Cheers :)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Go Launcher gives you all kinds of transition effects to choose from.

It's not built into the ROM and doesn't effect things like notifications, but it'll give you home screen scrolling and app drawer options.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
If you want the animation so badly, why not just flash the RCMix ROM?
[HTC Sensation] CursedBat:
I would, but since I was so heavily using ARHD, it gets tedious to transfer my APP layout, etc.
