[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pelskikker:
Hello all,

I have a question regarding a HD2 of a friend of mine who asked to put Android on it. I did it before without problems, but on this phone something is not going right. I have spent at least 20 hours on trying to fix it (mainly flashing new roms, fixing clockworkmod over and over again etc.) and of those 20 hours I spent at least 5 of them reading the web. So I hope I did not miss the solution somewhere, if it is out there I really tried to find it.

2 Sections, 1 with the question(s) and 1 with phone outputs.

QUESTION SECTION

The phone is not bricked (as far as I know), it just won't boot any roms.

When the phone is booted (power button down) magldr boots fine (UPDATE: Flashed original ROM, so Magldr is gone now, can reflash if necessary)

Clockworkmod works, but only until I flash a ROM. After flashing a ROM clockworkmod is gone.

Now when I try to flash a rom (zip from SD card to NAND with Clockworkmod) it works fine. I get the installer most of the time (in general Aroma) and the installer indicates everything gets installed correctly. I did check, the 250 MB partition was enough for the Roms (most required only 200 MB). But when the system goes for a reboot I get to Magldr, it seems to boot allright, but when it says 'GO GO GO!' it just stops. I am now trying a last time by leaving it on for the next hour in the hope at some point something will happen, but ten minutes does not seem to be enough of a wait for anything to happen.

I tried six or seven roms (and a few months back like 5 or 6 too).

The funny thing, about 3 months ago I flashed this same phone. Back then it was already taking more time then I am used for a HD2, and lots of errors until I finally managed to get it working. Only the rom installed seemed to be instable, it rebooted a lot and that is why they asked me to put another one on it. But still, that android rom did boot. I believe the instability issues could have been caused by me choosing the wrong partitioning, I noticed there was hardly any room left on the system so I might have used the bigger half GB clockwork partition back then leaving no room for apps or whatever the phone needed (16 mb system memory was left).

After starting my original flash my friend told me Windows was not working correctly. Yes,

after

I did the more or less irreversible flashing

Does anyone have any idea regarding what I could be missing?

Thanks in advance.

<UPDATE, TRIED THE FOLLOWING>

Reflashing original ROM

I reflashed the original ROM (twice). The second time I did a 'task 29' before flashing.

The first time it booted to the 'first time use' part where I could put some settings like wifi etc and I could unlock the SIM so it registered to the network. But before it actually booted fully it started to reboot. It would generally reboot around the 'enter PIN' screen.

The second time (after the task 29) the system just hangs on the 'htc' welcome screen.

I used the original rom from the HTC website (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship).

<UPDATE>

I did a info 8 on MTTY to check for bad blocks in NAND memory. As I was at it I did some other info queries. I hereby post the results. Maybe this means something to someone. All I know is there are no bad blocks (as far as this output is telling me).
