[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cardyology:
Hey guys, I;m appealing for a little help here.

I have an HTC HD2 which has been great for about a year but all of a sudden it has problems.

I;ve been using this rom pretty much since it came out....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905060

I;ve never had any problems with it untill now. I started to get the "insufficient storeage space available" message on it so I assumed a restore/reflash would solve the problem.

I used HD2 toolkit to resize my MAGLDR partition to 450MB & reflashed - the phone wouldnt boot. Stuck on the HTC logo.

Repartitioned to 400 - still no boot!

Repartitioned to 350 - still no boot!

Repartitioned to 300MB - phone now boots however now, I;ve installed no apps & when I try to install spotify, its telling me insufficient storeage available, again! With nothing on the phone except the ROM!

I'm a bit of a n00b with all this stuff, but had my HD2 running fine for ages & its frustrating me that now it wont work properly!

Anyone care to help? THanks, Cardz.

Edit: im using MAGLDR 1.13 & the latest Clockwork mod to flash the ROM. I'm wiping cache & data partitions every time...... :/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elementalfx:
Install it with as lower as possible space for system partition. In your case it shoud be 135MB of system partition and 2MB cache but I recommend to put some more of space for system partition as I had some problems with low system partition so you can put 150MB for system partition.

The simple explanation of why you dont have enough of space for apps is that you gave too much of space for system partition and simply this ROM does not require that much of space for system partition. And other space left in your phone memory will be used for apps etc.

EDIT: And also try to install MAGLDR and CWM manually if you can and when you install CWM edit flash.cfg in WordPad or other text editing tool before you flash CWM and edit system partition size to 150MB and Cache size to 2MB
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cardyology:
Thanks a lot for the reply, i understand now about the 150MB/2MB cache, but what is the point of this other bit? Could you explain more the purpose of this?>
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elementalfx:
Well to simply explain you why i wrote you to use manual installation of CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY was that I wanted to explain you how is it working with partitioning your nand memory using cwr or magldr. I just added some helpfull info for you :) from my experience with HD2 and android flashing. So in the future you will know what to do and you will be able to uderstand more from technical point of view about flashing etc. I just wanted.to share some of my experience with you :)

But it is up to you if you want to use hd2 toolkit or manual configuration.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gilbertvpuen:
You can also use 4ext recovery instead of clockwork...

Afaik it's better to post in a similar topic than create a new one, so here I go.

I have recently switched to an ICS NAND rom and since then I keep having constant storage problems. I understand that in order to solve that I have to partition my SD card but it seems, since I don't really understand the whole android storage management process too deeply, I am not doing things properly cause I keep getting "Low on space" notifications. I attach some screenshots below in order to give you more info about my sd card partitions and rom specs. Please let me know what I did wrong and how I can solve it. I understand I will probably need to repartition and reflash the devide again?

Edit: The screenshots I have attached don't have 2nd part mounted, going to upload proper screens in a minute. Done.

Edit 2: Will this fix my problems?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HTCdevel:
You are mixing different things. In the first post of this thread the issue was the partitioning of the internal Flash-ROM in the Phone.

You wrote about the SD card partitioning and these things are totally different.

I think, you have a problem with your internal memory and you have to try the same things like cardyology has done after the hint from jan.selep.

Partitioning for Ubuntu's users

I don't find the way to modify partitioning of the internal Flash-ROM when you are an Ubuntu user on PC (no Windows boot anywhere..)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
If you use cLK instead of magldr you can repartition from the cLK bootloader, , no PC necessary.

Before you say 'I cant install cLK without a PC', there is a version of cLK you can flash from sd card.

It will mean you have to resinstall your rom, though.

Hummmm because the Murphy's law? :crying:

I found a Windows PC, I downloaded the HD2 Toolkit... but not the good one, because the last version don't works with 32 bits PC. So, I found the good one, I saved all my stuff, I tried to repartition and... I miss a dll and other bull****... 2 hours later, I thought is too long to be good and I sought a lighter ROM (I understood Hyperdroid CM7 has a 150 Mo system partition : it's very short!), but, I found nothing with ICS or JB, only GB... pfff.

So, I took a week to flash ROM, I read miles of thread, hours to understand how my device working and each time I found a solution, each time I have at less a new issue to solve. It pissed me of.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] acgr4me:
I just replaced my cracked screen on my phone. Bought it from Ebay. When I put it back together I notice that in the middle of the screen it is unresponsive. When I try and type on it I cant get the middle of the keyboard to work. When I put the phone back to stock thinking it would calibrate the screen, it is the same result, when I try and choose a language it doesn't let me choose the English language. I thought maybe I forgot to plug a certain cable in but it is still doing this after I took apart and put back together the phone three times. The main areas that aren't working is the bottom part of the screen where the keyboard pops up and the top of the screen about a half inch down in the middle. My question is did I get a faulty screen replacement? Or is there a way of calibrating the screen itself?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
Bad digitizer did you get a replacement for that too?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] acgr4me:
Yes, it came with the screen.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
I'm guessing a digitizer issue only idea I have
[Motorola Droid Bionic] acgr4me:
Questions solved. You are probably right. The seller got back to me and he said he sent me the wrong part. He was supposed to send me the glass with the digitizer, brand new, and he sent me a used screen with digitizer and the frame around it. He said he will send the new screen ASAP. Thanks for your responses. Hopefully I wont have trouble with the new part.

I removed root and went back to stock a couple of weeks ago getting ready for the ICS update. I have not reset my device and updated to ICS. Can I now root using the same method I used before. I used the Brk root toolkit and it worked great for rooting and unrooting.

If I cannot use that is there something new I should use?

Thanks

You can't install the update with that firmware version, it will not prevent it from downloading, but it is not going to install it unless you are on the most recent firmware 8.6.5.21.

You will need to get to this stock configuration, then if desired root (or wait until after update, users are having success with vipermod to root ICS). Now update.

Alright guys i did my homework and i just want to know whether is it safe to perform it ..

1st i back up my data on my andriod via gmail (contacts) ,apps /data ....SMS Backup and Restore, Call Logs Backup & Restore, and APN Backup & Restore. Each one backs up its respective data to your microSD card (in /sdcard/*appname*BackupRestore/) for easy restoration...before whipping out everything on my sd card and htc sense rom ...

Rooting the phone ......after that i'll flash a custom rom in it

backup all data from gmail/SMS Backup and Restore, Call Logs Backup & Restore, and APN Backup & Restore.

that should be all

is it correct or there is any alternative ?

I need suggestion from the android users

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
So... you don't need to backup your other apps?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeromeSama:
what do u mean by other apps ?

what i thought was the apps i seen on my android device
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coempi:
After you have flashed a custom ROM, you have to reflash all apps you have used with your prevoius ROM, and then restore app data.

Or wasn't it you wanted to know?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
Read that statement again... you save your backup files to the sd card then wipe the sd card. So where's your backup now? To tell you honestly, you are doing it wrong.

Tell us what exactly are you going to do and in what state is your phone right now? Is it rooted, s-off, etc.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeromeSama:
but why is reflash all apps with previous rom and restore app data ?

i don't quite get it

and im quite confused with the flashing rom and reflashing all apps with previous rom and restore app data ...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeromeSama:
okay i'll take your advice :D

but this statement

"backup all data from gmail/SMS Backup and Restore, Call Logs Backup & Restore, and APN Backup & Restore."

doesn't it say im going to backup data from the previous data i had ?

okay im going to root my phone next month so im going to backup my data from my sd card and reformat it ..after doing that im going to root my phone 1st ...its not rooted ..is it a wise decision ?

status of phone ...

So I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there is no solution to root a TP that's already applied the 2.0 update?

I've tried the root methods already obtainable on here and they don't work. I'm guessing (more hoping) that someone is working on finding a solution.

Makes me sad. A co-worker updated it for me because "it said it needed to update it so I did it for you"... *sigh*
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
OTA2 removed the exploit unless you were already rooted and used Voodoo Rootkeeper to maintain root during the update. I haven't heard the outcome with regards to 2.5. I don't want to risk root so won't be updating unless it's safe.

2.5 is out ? which your version of tablet ?

16gb us. Was delivered last week.

Yeah, I didn't have it rooted before so yeah. :(
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
Either people like us find a way to downgrade or wait until a new exploit is found. The former seems easier but my knowledge of these things isn't very high...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] byersbw:
Yeah, I'm not sure how to either. I'm good at following directions but when a "friend" upgrades your device for you...

As for downgrading, I don't think that'll be an option until someone finds a Lenovo rom flash utility.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
And now we wait. Did NOT expect CM9 to come out so fast and be working so didn't care much for root otherwise. Oh well, that was my fault and I knew I'd lose root for the time being. Now I wait patiently, since the primary work of the developers now is making CM9 to work properly so w/e.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] rangercaptain:
Why isn't there a way to downgrade the rom to 075? The tab has a recovery boot. If it could be downgraded, it could then be rooted , then updated.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
No way to downgrade, unless you know something the rest of us are unaware of. There's a bunch of folks that either can't root at all, or took OTA2 before getting root/without preserving root. We've been told that there's nothing to be done for the time being.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] rangercaptain:
I don't know how to do it, but I know that's how other tabs got around the problem. I only say it in case someone does.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] YassinTP:
AFAIK, the problem is the recovery's signature check.. if it recognizes that the update.zip to flash is older than the build actually installed, it won't install the new ROM.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
Thanks. Noob enough that I couldn't explain it, just knew it doesn't work.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] rangercaptain:
I wonder what it takes to defeat the check? There must be an update script that performs that check. Editing elements of the update script has been the key to other "can't be done" situations.

Two other tablets, the Flyer and the View downgrade to gingerbread, then unlock bootloader, then root, then update to honeycomb, then custom roms are applied. They got the idea from another tab, the Iconia, who got it from the Transformer . . .

Why not? Change the script on a pc then push the package with adb. Isn't that how those boys are getting ICS to install?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] byersbw:
Sounds like it could work. The full system dump that's floating around, could we use that to flash our back?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
Doesn't work on all

All things have limitations. I have a View, and cannot downgrade. My Hboot doesn't support it and believe me, I want root in a bad way. It's that way for the TPT right now. Unless someone else with know how steps forward with a solution, the folks currently without root have to wait for ICS (per the dev that got us root).

If you have the skills I'm sure the TPT folks would gladly pay.
