you are completely wrong! did you ever have a HTC phone before?! HTC does this with ALL HTC phones!! they push them to the market and a month and 2 patcher later the phone is forgotten! look at all old HTC phones, look at Hero, (look at other HTC Android phones) still waiting for 2.1 IT IS NOT Microsoft "FAULT". stop spreading hate if you know sh** !!!

Some program not support haret version maybe haret problem or kernel i dont know then i doing new script init to output this one program not realy needed and hungs boot. This is first

After img or squashfs (in defconfig need activated squashfs support) file mount right but read not realy syncronous then file corrupted and not realy boot right.

Same with initrd doesnt like compressed image i dont know if ist haret or kernel problem but not take feature about sdcard.

The way to test now wath you wont :

before install cab with synaptic, then extract rootfs.tar.gz on Desktop

root :

plug your sdcard with mobile or card reader :

make 2 partition first fat 32 (b choice on t) second linux with fdisk, fat 32 like 100mo (+100M)

save with w

umount /dev/sdb1

umount /dev/sdb2

mkdosfs /dev/sdb1 (check your sdcard with fdisk -l) (put your haret Image (last build) and startup.txt on linux folder)

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2 (your sdcard) to make right reading

unplug replug sdcard

Go to your folder partition linux /media/.....

then tar -xzvf /home/(user)/Desktop/rootfs.tar.gz

cpio for wing : http://rapidshare.com/files/364663127/fs.cpio.html

Image : http://rapidshare.com/files/364672633/Image.html

Haret : http://rapidshare.com/files/364916139/haret.exe.html

for startup.txt :

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x11800000

set ramsize 0x08000000

set kernel Image

set initrd fs.cpio

set cmdline "quiet loglevel=0 init=/sbin/init console=tty0 video=omapfb:accel gsm-wizard.noreset=1 gsm-wizard.noload=1 4"

log "earlylog.txt"

bootlinux

and last things you need shutdown HTC sens, this is one problem to do boot blocked on Leo maybe Netripper found why some program hungs and why need kill sens before boot.

And maybe other program need kill too before run haret but for now i dont know, search.

Reboot Leo and run haret.

program haret or kernel dont like :

Htc sens on win (maked segmentation fault)

sleep (make hungs)

e2fsck (same)

on linux

rootdelay on cmdline txt same haret dont like it

if your boot hungs they its one program or more not compatible or hungs leo, i dont know about that i searching to find.

last time i try compile e2fsck ist working but some other error, the news e2fsck its runing when compiled for Arm.

Maybe need to recompil the program who hungs on Arm structure.

As you can see wing-linux is a project for OMAP850 devices.... in any case, it won't work or won't work correctly on the HTC HD2 that has got a QSD8650...

...OMAP850 integrates a different GPU, so maybe the compiled programs are making calls to commands that are OMAP850-specific and that won't work on our ATI GPU, or something like this.

I'm sayin' this because I remember when Manila for OMAP came out and people were trying to get it working on MSM devices.. :D :D

EDIT: But I have an idea. If you can boot from the second partition on SD and we've got problems with initrd, maybe we can boot it (decompress and copy the files inside) from an EXT2 partition on SD Card....... :D :D Tryin' this :D :D

(I'll use netripper's initrd with USB support... I'm too lazy to build one now.. :P)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kholk:
If what I know is true, the HTC Supersonic is basically an HTC HD2, but featuring Android... and if I'm right, if we can have the source of the linux kernel used in HTC Supersonic, we would be at a good point.

...But maybe it would be useless: we already have the source of the linux kernel used for the Nexus One that features the same chipset of the HTC HD2, but we can't boot it successfully simply compiling it (as you all can see, the development goes on and we reached this point only because of developers).

I've had mixed results - I haven't tried Tig's

I tried someone elses Image (Image_160310_1206) ? it was posted here

When i was using radio 2.08.50.08_2 with extra RAM, it would boot and I would have the LED flash and a blue flicker screen...

After having issues with that ROM + Radio, I moved back to 2.06.51.07, and running the same thing as before - I freeze much earlier on.

Is it worth people with different radios reporting their log out put? I saw someone else mentioned that they had different results depending on radio?

Also if there's hosting needed, I've set http://htcleo.noobhands.net for the devs if they want to put test pieces for the less technically minded to test. PM me for the login details

I would like to officially announce that I have the solution to the black screen problem.

In an ridiculously altruistic act of selflessness I installed hardspl and overwrote my beloved leo stock radio rom with 15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08 (kindfully provided by kholk, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5282938&postcount=1 ) .

Turns out new radio fixes it. Of course this is not so nice because we don't know what causes this. Most likely some memory layout differences. Has to be investigated.

It would be nice to see if the finding can be confirmed.

I would also like to play around a bit in an initrd but at this point it makes no sense

-cause we have no working input devices

-there exist some problems in the kernel that causes rootfs trouble

it's best to wait until we have this fixed

regarding the radio rom it's interesting because it shows the different radio versions are in some way relevant for the linux drivers. and I'm wondering if it's reconstructible for people who also had the problem with the linux booting to a black screen.

good work guys.

i will be getting the hd2 with tmo usa hopefully in a week. theres a rumor going around that sprint will announce/release the HTC Supersonic at CTIA next week. if the supersonic (which is basicly the same hardware as the hd2 but with android) get released soon will the android build from the supersonic make it easier for you guys to get android working on the hd2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pkchips:
Not necessarily.

I have no knowledge, and have no real authority to make that call. But based on my zero experience of trying to run linux on the hd2, I'd have to say its quite possible it won't help at all.

Because I'm sure the supersonic's hardware differs in some way to the hd2.
