Hi, having the same problem here. According to a friend something to do with different type of LCD's inside the HD2.

Does anyone have another default.txt setting for the LCD that also works?

btw, tnx a lot , winmo was really getting on my nerves. Have been looking forward to a moment like this for a long time.

Hi

Did you have problems with booting android? i'm italian too (and think we have same hardware parts on our HD2) but booting haret i have the screen of android loading becoming black from the center with radial diffusion with some white line of left side remaining and disappearing slowly then other parts... then my hd2 seems stop working with black screen... during booting the back leds flash a moment.

i have stock hd2 with rom, hspl and radio original.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ti3noU:
Did you read the thread ?..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] devilman:
hi blue ice

no, i did not have you problem.

i tried the build linked in the first page, (builds->android with ense) experiencind bsod but booting ok in android.

then i tried the new build linked 2 pages before (with bsod fix) and it seems better.

let me know if you need a little help from me (msn, skype, fb)

bye for now

edit :

the poster above me probably pointed the problem : change the radio!

Crashed

My HD2 crashed halfway while booting Android. It stopped at "init.panel"

What can be the reason?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Blue Ice K4:
Yes i did, i waited for android build beeing released and made the exact thing list in the second post of thread: "Global instructions: Just extract to Storage Card root directory and run HaRET executable."

there are no requirement described for using it, so i thought i could use also my "stock" hd2 ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ti3noU:
It's early alpha (or less). You can't expect it to be booting perfectly on every HD2. It's very very buggy for now, almost all drivers are missing.

Anyway : use 2.10+ radio, try every build and delete all files before. You're better to use a freshly formatted SDcard. And at last. If it's not booting the first time, it can boot the 2nd time.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ti3noU:
So explain me why I know it and you're not ^^

Just use a 2.10+ radio. It'll probably work after that. I'm using 2.12 and it works perfect.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] frankoli:
actually not working, at least on my hd2

you guys are definitly the best and i mostly apreciate all the effort and hardwork you do for the community, but when i run harret on my european hd2 it boots the file reading black screen, so far so good, however when the first part of the file reading is done my screen slowly fades to black from right to left and it freezes my phone. i would just like to know if u'm missing some mandatory procedure. my phone is flashed with hspl 2.08 i'm running and i'm running artemis rom. help anyone. i really woul like to enjoy android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ti3noU:
You are using the GSM patched build ? It's hard to find what you want on XDA ATM concerning Android on HD2..... Anyway gsm is a bit useless. Typing sms can give bluescreen, call end cause bluescreen, and there's no sound/mic driver. Useless for now don't you think ?^^
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mEMBER83:
I have an old Radio, too (2.08.xx) and its running "okay". Don't think the radio-rom is the "bad boy"
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lambroukos_Balander:
It is ok..i can understand that the progress of a stable android it is far away.i am giving just a follow up. but in order to have more to say i "want" the gsm signal to work. I dont know if that is because i am not giving a google account.

last question does wifi works at the moment?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ti3noU:
Wifi and data doesn't work at the moment. You can't use a google account because of that. The GSM sould work. Did you enter all the parameters for your carrier network ?

Many people has good experience with 2.08 radio. But not with 2.07 (or less) and 2.09 for example.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lambroukos_Balander:
No i dont..to be honest i have to play with it, but it crashes all the time. And each time it crashes faster. for example yesterday at the booting process.

I upgrade my radio yesterday to 2.10 do you believe i have to to reupgrade to 2.12? what's your opinion about blue screen? I suppose graphics.

ps: thank you for talking
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] starbase64:
Hi,

DualBoot works great, but HaRet run not automaticaly.

HaRet parameters available?

with friendly greet

starbase64
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ti3noU:
Yes I know for the crashes, that's why I'm not using GSM for now since it creates big instability for me (and probably anyone). If you want the best stability without removing the accelerated graphics for example (a patch exists for that but it becomes really slow and not enjoyable), try to turn off "everything" in the settings. GPS, GSM, sound, menus/windows animations, etc. and screen timeout to 30 minutes. You will probably have one or two BSOD doing it. If you have one, don't remove the battery, use the red reset button instead to soft reset, and boot android again. Once everything is disabled, you can try to turn on the GSM again, and enter parameters. Without GSM you can use it for hours if you don't use the end key :D

The "bluescreen" isn't actually a real bluescreen but seems to be an incorrect graphic driver response. 2.12 or 2.10 I don't think it will change anything. Anything equal or above 2.10 will work the same.

No problem mate ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lambroukos_Balander:
so look what we have now..I restarted. the device whas locked: I unlock BLUE SCREEN. anyway we dont have to talk about that. we know the problems..yesterday on the other hand i tried the version with htc sense i didnt have any blue screen but it was very slow..does that tell something to us. Is it helpfull? can i PM you my msn to talk there?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ti3noU:
Yes the sense build can be unlocked by sliding, probably because of the sense lockscreen. To unlock on other builds, use the Windows/Start hard key.

It's okay ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] angelo.asinas:
okay.. it's my first time flashing and I'm really scared it might brick my phone.. i tried dling hspl but for some reason when it's dling the program in my computer it automatically terminates it.. any reasons why...? (no internet connection since my modem broke :( )

thanks for replying chris!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Major_Sarcasm:
Hehe, same as that ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
If you are using Windows Vista or 7 try to right click and choose run as administrator, sometimes the way it does things, windows doesnt like.

Definitely make sure you install HSPL first though

Edit: sorry I misread that, it could be your antivirus terminating the download? If you're modem broke, what are you using to download hspl and the radio rom??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
Why are we trying to run hspl? You are not flashing Android to your phone! When using HaRET it loads over top of Windows Mobile
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
Because it doesnt tend to work unless you have HSPL 3 and a radio version of 2.10 or above.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kvarten:
Don't bother the devs with moob questions. Read the first post

I can't understand why all of you have to try to flash this, when the message in the first post is very clear. This is not completed work yet.

Please have patience and let the guys work in peace. The sooner there will be a finished android ready for the HD2.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
So many people ask the same things over and over. Read the first 2 posts. Neither of them give any warnings for getting your data wiped. HaRET is an exe that is used to boot Linux/Android on top of your existing OS. Now a few people have posted that Windows was acting a little strange after running one of the test versions of Android. This is odd as HaRET is not ment to play with your Windows files. I have yet to see this happen on my device but my phone is backed up just in case...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
If flashing a radio requires hspl then I can understand that. As for needing hspl3... I am still using the first hspl as Telstra models did not work with hspl2. Everything is working fine for ubuntu & Android. I was thinking of switching to hspl3 but since HaRET does not touch the boot loader, I'm thinking there is no need to.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] webjunky:

Thank you!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
Its really only so you can flash the radio, if the older HSPL works for you, leave it alone. I just tend to use the most current one because thats the way I am.

You know what happens if you dont have any version of HSPL on your phone before you flash it. Shudders.....

Sorry for being off topic but this is for everyone's safety...

Just a heads up: If "drealvl" or anyone who sends you a PM (private message) regarding Android on your phone, trash the message and report them. I just saw a PM from "drealvl" and they gave the YouTube video and two links to the fake installer.

So in short, who ever PMs you with links and has no post count in their profile, report them as it is most likely a scam!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kreitz16:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] finesse:
Please be patient and answer my question.

I am using a T-Mobile UK HD2. I previously used used HSPL 2 but it got bricked. I now have got it repaired and want to try again. I'd like to try the first release of the Android HD2.

From reading this thread, I have concluded that;

1. Run HSPL 3

2. Flash Radio_2.10.50.08_2

3. Place HD2 Android files on SD card

4. Run HaRet

Is this correct?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
Yes, preferably on a seperate sdcard with nothing else on it to start with, just to ensure nothing else is interfering with the software
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nygmam:
Seems like none of you read the first quoted post in this message. Everything you are asking has been asked and answered numerous times before. Go back and re-read the first 2 posts, and the last 20-30 pages, and you will have your questions answered. Again, this is NOT a stable build, it is for testing, there are issues. If you don't know what you are doing, or can't be bothered to read the last 20 or so pages, you should NOT be playing with this build yet. Either Wait until there is a stable build, or don't use it.

I have tested this with my wife's stock TMOUS Leo (2.13 build) and it works, with no HSPL No radio change, no custom ROM. Yes, some radios don't work, Yes, you may need to install an HSPL to flash a new Radio, No, this is not the place to ask how. Yes, all files need to be in the Root of your SD Card, not in a directory, Yes, this can mess up your phone, No, it does not wipe your device, but see last question. No, you are not flashing Android to your phone, it runs of the SD Card. BSOD and Freezes are known issues. If you have nothing to add to this discussion in a practicle way, please don't. I myself strugled with this post, as to posting it, but since so many of you are ignoring the MOD's advise, above, and the relentless barage of the same questions over and over again, is becoming even more anoying! I have been following this thread since inception, and have read every post. Newbies comming to this thread, posting drivel, is making it hard to find relevant posts. Please follow the Mod's advice, and read, read, read, and then read some more. When the build is stable and ready, then give it a go. Right now, it is a proof of concept, and not very useful at all. If you are looking for a stable build that you can actually use, this is not it right now.

Sorry for my rant, just frustrated!

Keep up the good work Devs, and thank you again

He worked hard on the DEV of porting Android / Haret / Linux on many other devices. The HD2 is at the same beginning stage as these devices were in the thread above. If you read through that thread, you'll see the progress they made and the similarities we have.

Anyhow, maybe Babijoee can get us going in the right direction. And if you read through his thread, you'll learn a lot from prior mistakes and accolades.
