[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cass67:
Does it do this every time for you ? I have had this once in 10 boots ... Changed nothing then next time it boot fine (well to the splash screen so not really fine)

What im more interested in is switching off the splash screen and seeing the boot happen and not a status bar that does not move ..

(have you switched sense off ? i dont but tz mentioned that it can cause seg faults)

and as tz mentions above extract the rootfs as root
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kholk:
I switched off HTC Sense, otherwise it won't even boot.

Anyway, I'm trying this using the SanDisk 2GB MicroSD that comes with the HD2, but I can try with my A-Data Class6 8GB MicroSDHC.

Is anyone using my same SD? I don't want to make a backup of 8GB for nothing.. :P

@Tigrouzen

All the permissions are okay and the files are copied correctly. But I don't understand why it doesn't work...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cass67:
Yep im using the 2gb sandisk that came with the HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kholk:
It seems that somewhat went wrong during the partition formatting to ext3: I reformatted the ext3 partition and recopied all on it. Now it boots.

EDIT: Eliminating the "quiet" parameter I've seen "Starting android: (somewhat)" on my HD2's display :) Then black screen.

Updating u later.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tids2k:
this is the initial stage, do you someone enable the debug mode, and if possible see whats causing it ... if you are still not able to boot, you might want to contact tz.

i know you are a genius ... but i want you to be a super genius ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tigrouzen:
ok guys !

this is line to off splash screen

set CMDLINE "psplash=false loglevel=0 init=/sbin/init console=tty0 gsm-wizard.noreset=1 gsm-wizard.noload=1 4"

you can see its hungs at udev.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kholk:
Hungs at udev?!?

So maybe it's simpler than expected.

Do you know at what udev node is freezing? If it's an useless thing (or barely useful....) we can disable the probing or the node creation for the node that makes the device freeze.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tigrouzen:
But the real problem now its sdcard reader.

I do image its boot for many time but sync read error of sdcard seems here and some time right boot and any time you can see hungs before.

I suppose if a sync sdcard problem corrected then we can advance faster
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tids2k:
try to use a 512mb or less capacity sd card. the sync issue maybe due to the linux driver ....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] football_fan:
just so u guys know, im a bit of a tech geek n all myself,but i barely understand anything u guys write over here. lol.

But.. I totally love you guys for working so hard to port Android to the hd2! Thank you all so much! can't wait to try it out when you guys are done with it! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tigrouzen:
Hahahahaha

Its strange cause my image its one i modified kernel on htcleo_config and its boot all time.

I output like some supported file ext2 and somethings other.

If you compile kernel with not modified htcleo_conf then hungs more and blocked some time like wait and boot...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kholk:
For me, the kernel doesn't freeze at udev initialization or probing.

The point is: IT WORKS. But it doesn't work correctly :)

When it starts the xserver somewhat goes wrong with the video drivers and the screen becomes black.

Anyway, boot with this line:

"psplash=false loglevel=7 init=/sbin/init console=tty0 video=msm_fb gsm-wizard.noreset=1 gsm.wizard.noload 1 4"

If you look carefully at the screen, you'll see that it "starts android" :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CleM71:
Nice to see your progress. I leaved the dev when we were trying to have a correct inird ...

The msm_fb driver comes from the nexus one. Does the screen is the same (density / width / resolution) ?

We should try to force the resolution and density somewhere.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tigrouzen:

I remember Dcordes says if compile with openembedded then no kernel panic !!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kholk:
I think that the panel is entirely different here, since the HD2 has got a 4.3" display and the NexusOne is 3.7".

And...

Anyone else get the flashing cursor in the top left corner before it says "INIT: PANIC: sleep for 30 seconds"
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tigrouzen:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Seg2009:
@Kholk.

Yeah, just retried, everything fine, no error, just black screen, slightly lit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kholk:
If you watch carefully, you'll see "starting android" or something similar.

The only reason of the blank screen that comes to my mind is a bad communication with the video drivers.

I think that we have to wait for Netripper or Markinus to examinate the thing: they are modifying the various kernel modules for booting correctly :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tids2k:
alright guys its a good night from me. good luck.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kholk:
Reached this point, I have to say that MAYBE it doesn't freeze, but only does display nothing on screen due to miscommunication with video drivers.

I tried to boot with my Leo attached to USB and look to my PC :)

My apologies to intrude on this developer thread, but can any of you give a brief overview of the progression required to actually get this thing going?

I've been following the thread since it started more or less and to me it seems like you're making fantastic progress day after day! Breakthroughs and all! but I'm not sure what exactly is entailed in getting it to an even a pre-alpha stage of Android/Maemo/etc.

Well, the HTC Diamond Android thread is 618 pages long :eek: but they had to make a lot of progress on unknown hardware. And they aren't even done yet :/ Nearly 2 years running.

I'm assuming these great folks can leverage the knowledge from those initial projects to get it going on the HD2... and pray that the Supersonic makes a lot of the porting a cakewalk?

See the wiki for how much work there actually is after the bootloader :/

Anyway, are you sure that you've got 2.08.50.08_2 radio?

P.S.: My autobuild service has built some new kernels, I'm going to try the latest one ^^

EDIT: I've tested Image_180310_2348. It's so strange, it won't boot!

It seems that in the kernel boot options the developers have increased the RAM size to 396MB, maybe it's for this....and maybe we need a new ramaddr parameter for HaRET. Doing some calculations and tests.

EDIT2: I increased ramsize to 0x19C00000 in HaRET, but it still won't boot. The older image instead will boot. It seems that the developers have done something wrong with the latest changes. Waiting for response from them.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tigrouzen:
Not its not problem with 396M because ive got test before and Markinus says no need change ramaddr.

Then now your are same us male. Good ^^

Why cant people understand that there wont be a working(play around with) android port for atleast a year....is that so hard to comprehend??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skywalker74:
O, please, do not be so pessimistic.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kholk:
If for working you mean having a system that can call, take photos, send sms, connect to WiFi etc.... yes, there is over a year of development to do.

But if you mean a booting fundroid, with the really basic functionalities (can browse menus, files in SD etc), we're not so far.

As for now, the linux kernel (thanks to NetRipper, Markinus, dcordes and all the people that is writing modules for our kernel) boots and can execute init, moreover using a decent initrd (like netripper's one) you can successfully boot to the Linux shell (sh).

Now I'm testing USB support, as it seems to work, and USBNET. If it works we'll be able to connect to the linux kernel on the HD2 with SSH. At least it's a good point.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zepiii:
For myself, wishing in a first time dualboot and a working Android, we are not so far, from what I am following here...

Also, no one can't say how much time it will last to get it fully working version, because Desire isn't still out, and I put a lof of hope on it, even if I can't program anything !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kholk:
Doing the point of situation....

I've tried to connect to usb network interface: the HTC HD2 configures its interface successfully and my Linux box recognizes it.

The problem now is: my Linux box recognizes it BUT only for a half. It doesn't show any usb network interface, so the communication is impossible. As suggested by Markinus, it's probably a malfunction of the USB network support driver on the HD2, so we have to wait for further development for going on.

Anyway, now there is another problem:

If I disconnect and reconnect the USB when the kernel has successfully booted and executed sh, my Linux box doesn't recognize it anymore. It's possible even that when the HD2 executes the linux shell it hangs and because we don't have any input method for verifying if it hangs or not we don't know.

However, Markinus is working on this and when we'll recognize the problem, be sure, it'll be solved.

It seems to me that getting drivers to work is the biggest obstacle right now.

The situation with the video and USB network support drivers may improve when the HTC Supersonic ROM is found. It appears they have identical hardware. With minor modifications, it may be possible to implement Supersonic's ROM on the HD2.

This site is for helping each other out, not for freebies for you.

If you can't develop but want to contribute in some way then make a donation to the developers on here. Also learn some humility and patience.

Not my style to jump on someone's back for something like this; however we have lost too many gifted developers, e.g Schaps, Jas Jamin and others, due to this kind of attitude and approach.

HTC Bravo maybe the savior?

Well, the leaked roadmap from HTC doesnt show any 'HTC Dragon' or anything looking like the leaked photo thats been show online (again, again and again), so thats kinda disappointing for the hope of an easy port.

But at least there is a 'HTC Bravo' with specs looking somewhat similar to the HD2. But then again, the screen is AMOLED on 'Bravo' compared to TFT on HD2, and although I'm no developer, that sounds like a hurdle.. :S

Am I wrong in presuming that?

Sad, I'm all psyked up for Android on my HD2..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mightymn:
that's only bad in the sense that the HD2 will be somewhat inferior to Bravo in terms of screen :D

by the way! why are you still waiting for "dragon" ?? it's obviously the same as bravo !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lambert Verner:
Oh, I'm not waiting for anything, I have the HD2 :) (And happy with it, btw.) Besides, its not obvious when looking at (well, the only) leaked image of the supposed 'Dragon'. But specs-wise, it definitly looks like the dragon, yeah..

But great to hear it wont effect any development! I can sure live with the HD2 as of now, but if any android-port comes around, I'm all game.
