Yes, it is a file it is empty, but has put in Desire_DL the data.img for process acceleration.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
i am giving up tried almost all possibilities still it is not working. going back to 2.3 rel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Here also, hangs in HTC-Screen.

The system.ext2 is created, but the whole file contains 0x00.

I think there is something wrong in the file-converter.

The init.log is always empty, size = 0

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
You are so right, closer investigation of the system.ext2 that was created, it contains only zeros, no wonder that it doesn't boot ;-)

Maybe tomorrow ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] EvgeniyMGD:
Has started process on all night (from 2:00 8:00) Result: has appeared data.img on 1024 MB, system.ext2 on 360 MB and all. When started the accumulator showed 56 %, by 8:00 he has died in 0. The init.log is always empty, size = 0
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
yes, forgot to update the mke2fs, the current one did something stupid. wait my beta2

@ Dandiel,

Mate, you are doing a wonderful job here but the thread is a bit unclear !

Right now, I want to use the SD card version ( as I dont like the nand and I am still using WM ), but it looks like that it hasn'r been clearly explained as how to do that !

in Post #1, you have said to download version 2.4nand, then extract...etc ( where is the TEST PACKAGE ? )

then down there, there is Version 2.1 for SD card......

please, do us a favour and separate the SD / NAND version totally...

Thanks again for your hard work..........
[HD2 Android SD Development] Grumps:
HE did seperate them this week so its a bit confusing.

Download 2.1 for sd then extract that to desire_z folder on your sd. before you start it unzip the fix to make it 2.2 otherwise it wont boot.

HE is busy making a TEST package that will work on sd nand and magldr but its not right yet. 2.4/2.5 is only for nand. If still confused leme know and ill try and help :)

In short go here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881937 download 2.1 then download :

- Bug fix for both SD and Nand build. update.bugfix.1201201101.7z

then extract the folder in desire_z to overwrite your current desire_z folder.

Then you will be good to go
[HD2 Android SD Development] jaguaralani:
Thanx alot,

I already have 2.2 on me SD Card, but then, why has he written that for SD VERSION Download 2.4..... etc ???
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
dont bother about new version it is not working. he is working on the fix he might later in the day. so wait for his call.

btw new version is 3.0

No stock Fm Radio

Yeah this is a great sd build, i dont do nands. I used the Coredroid v8 for the longest and couldnt find a another completely function able android next the that one. Congrats on the great build and that is saying a lot coming from me, if you knew me. The only problem is, there is no stock Fm Radio lol....I was able to get pic messaging working....Kudos on that. So how do i get a stock Fm Radio, i need one because it use it all the time?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Load the Package "removed apps" from first page, and follow the instructions.

I did also and FM-Radio is working.

market???

I can't dowload apps... is it becouse i don't have tmous?

I have eu version...?? please help....

Great build!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Which SD-Build-version ?

With Version 2.2 the market works fine.

You can try to delete all Market data: Settings > application > manage application.

The select market and delete data.

Restart android and try again.

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
upload the 3.1 beta, which can definitely be used for SD/MAGLAR, as I include the system.ext2 in it in case you can not convert it successfully.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
I only verified some of the features, after that, due to too many repartitioning and format, my sdcard was broken :(

I have to find time to buy a new sdcard, currently, I'm purely on nand. :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] darkony:
quick question if boot from mag and have wp7 on nand I choose boot mode 2 ?

correct me if I`m wrong
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Correct
[HD2 Android SD Development] boysha8:
Dandiest, i am finding it difficult to follow the instructions to put the android build on the sd card. Do you have detailed instructions as to what to do after the download.. I downloaded v2.4

I am sure it is in the forum somewhere, i tried looking for a long time but couldnt find it. Apologies for re-asking, but it would be great if you could point me to it.

Thanks a lot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Just download the new v3.1 which is on 1st post.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
i downloaded file from the first post and am stuck at htc logo and log file is not created
[HD2 Android SD Development] samson09:
The same problem I wait 20-30 minutes and nothing. Only black screen htc. Don,t know why.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Your config please ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] vicai:
still nothing with 3.1

same here ..

after 45 minutes, data.img is created of 512MB (in 3.0 it was 1GB), stuck on black screen green htc, no init.log created.

used recommended config...
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
boot_mode=1

data_img=1

data_ext=0

nand_data=0

swap_mode=0

format_ext4=0

sd_boost=1

gps_zone=us

ppp_mode=1

backup_img=0

restore_img=0
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Oh, as I mentioned before, the mke2fs has some problem, can not make the proper ext2 file, so , you have to supply a data.img to the folder.

It should be fine, I tested from magldr.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Put your data.img to the folder and try again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
i did copy my org data.img file into the folder and it is over 10 mins now i m still stuck at green htc logo. how long should it to get to home screen?
[HD2 Android SD Development] vicai:
same here ..

suggested sd config, data.img in desire_dl directory, stuck on green htc for 15 mins now. i will wait for a bit longer, and then abort this.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
i feel like something is wrong. previous build were very fast even first boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] vicai:
totaly agree. last build i guess it was about 5 minutes .. ok, lets say 10 max on first boot. i gave up here, after 30 mins nothing. so back to square one :D

hard as i am trying to refuse, but i guess i would swtich to nand as everyone abandoned sd builds, and as we can see some real hard problems are with building it :( and last night i saw droid 2.3 came out ..
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
i still like wm 6.5.5 so no chance of living sd build. i am sure dandiest will find some solution.

abort 3.1beta testing for now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] vicai:
forgot :)

yes, forgot to check for init.log ...now there is one .. 1,5k .. so here it goes :

guess from shah_vm's and my log, that after chkdsk it stops for some reason.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
there is some problem in your data.img file, try to use a new one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] vicai:
downloaded 1Gdata.7z .. copied, when tried to strat, getting this error :

trampoline physical/virtual address overlap

EDIT:

ok, formated card, started from scratch .. startup without errors, so will report later
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Hi dan,

I use the recommended config.txt for SD, the new data.img from 1Gdata.7z, and system.img from beta3.1-package.

After 35min I aborted the startup. The created system.ext2 contains only 0.

Can you tell me, how much minutes does it take for a first startup of a clean fresh system ?

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] vicai:
30mins later

well, here we go .. init.log shows this :

/dev/block/loop1: clean, 11/100640 files, 3237/300799 blocks

so as i said before .. i guess the booting stops after checking sd card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
You wrote the whole Desire_DL, but are the following files needed for SD-start ?

EnterBootloader.exe

flash.cfg

flash.cfg.txt

Install.exe

Rapitool.exe

readme.txt

recommended.*

There are a system.img and a system.ext2.

I think only one of them ia needed, right ?

If I want to use the system.ext2 from your Package, it is not neccassary to copy system.img also, right ?

If I would use system.img and it is converted to system.ext2, can I delete the system.img ?

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] vicai:
done, just renamed suggested config for sd, nothing else touched !

done it, you said it was damaged, but somehow it still works on 2.2 build! so i guess it is not damaged. tried with new data.img .. results as in post before.

EDIT:

lets try the number 4 in config file ..
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
weird, maybe you should try loading from magldr? as i couldn't try load from sd, others were tested fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] samson09:
I downloaded ver 3.1 beta. Extracted on my sd card folder Desire_DL. Copied to this folder data.img from link 1Gdata.7z. Changed the config txt on

boot_mode=1

data_img=1

data_ext=0

nand_data=0

swap_mode=0

format_ext4=0

sd_boost=0

gps_zone=us

ppp_mode=0

backup_img=0

ran the CLRCAD.exe" then "haret.exe and nothing Still waiting and only htc logo. Don't know what else to do....help!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jeremyxchaos:
I succeed in booting from MAGLAR! All the things work fine, except one: I can't connect to 3G network, and I've adjust my APN, still can't work......
[HD2 Android SD Development] vicai:
well, thats the point of not willing to flash magldr. tried with your suggestiong for config, under number 4 ..

init.log says : /dev/block/loop1: clean .. number of files .. bla bla bla

and just sits there .. doing nothing .. guess the only solution would be to flash magldr and stop fooling with sd build .. but .. dont know .. will see what others report of v3.1b
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
so you can try to change ppp_mode=1， and make sure you set the boot_mode=2
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Now, I did a few tests, but no config will start from sd.

As I want not to flash magldr, I will go back to v2.2.

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
loading from magldr is actually no much different from sdcard, dont know why cannt load from sd
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
btw, can somebody help test the following to load from sd

1. change the initrd.gz with my previous version.

2. apply the bugfix i did for v2.2
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
The initrd.gz from v3.0 ?

Which bugfix for v2.2 ?

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] viperd:
I just tried to do it now. Same result...android will not start. It hangs on green htc logo on black screen. Applied the bugfix from 12.01.2011
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
@dandiest

Please, can you tell, how long we have to wait for a first start with a data.img from 1Gdata.7z ?

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] vicai:
tried the following:

1. changed initrd.gz with 2.1

2. changed with 2.1 + update to 2.2

3. changed initrd.gz with working 2.2

always same result .. black screen green htc logo for .. lets say 10seconds, and phone reboots.
[HD2 Android SD Development] samson09:
It seems that this sd rom doesn't work. Can't boot and only black screen htc. I hope that someone will resolve that problem. Maybe in next update.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
it should be a small problem, but due to I can only try 2 loading methods (nand &magldr), I will need somebody who knows how to use adb to help me debug.
[HD2 Android SD Development] aimor:
Ma perchè non mi parte la rom? rimane sulla schermata htc!!! è cambiata per caso la procedura per istallarla sulla sd?
[HD2 Android SD Development] samson09:
If I'll use one of this two method (nand or maglr) wiil I lose my windows mobile? It is important for me becasue I stil use some apps from WM and I want to switch between systems.
[HD2 Android SD Development] EvgeniyMGD:
One more init
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
thanks, but not enough, can your please do this when it stuck at HTC for a while : adb shell logcat > logcat.log, and sedn the logcat.log to me?
[HD2 Android SD Development] EvgeniyMGD:
I have no adb. Give please the detailed instruction as it to make! I with pleasure will send you necessary files!
[HD2 Android SD Development] cyber-junkie:
Hy dandiest,

thanks for this great ROM ( I use ver.2.2 for a few days now...) !!

But I'm a bit irritated - it needs ~60mA in standby instead of ~5mA of other SD-Roms ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Here View attachment adb.zip

extract it to a folder, run command prompt, go to that folder, key in: adb shell logcat > logcat.log, while of course, the hd2 should stuck at the HTC log and connect to your pc. thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
there should be some apps running at the backgroud drawing the current, you may try to use a blank data.img. or flash my v3.1, i get constant 3ma on standby. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] EvgeniyMGD:
And where should appear logcat.log? At me it was started 3.1!!!!! Ur!! As soon as start adb shell start has begun.
[HD2 Android SD Development] viperd:
This means your phone managed to boot in 3.1 ? Using SD ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] phanihani:

[HD2 Android SD Development] EvgeniyMGD:
:D At all I do not know! Installation process has gone from the second attempt with adb. If it is necessary once again I will try to write down logcat.log. I have thrown the data.img, and more changed nothing except config (took yours config for SD).

OK, there are some symbol link problems in xbin, it has been fixed.

but this problem should not stop the system to boot from SD. :confused:

[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
OK, ok, give up the attempt for merging the nand and SD into one.

Will build a separated build tomorrow for SD.

btw, which type is better? squashFS which is used in my V2 series, or no SquashFS which is used before V2?

Somebody say V2 is better, some prefer v1 or even earlier version.

any idea here?
[HD2 Android SD Development] vicai:
well, wont say "great idea" .. as merging was a great idea, but when it aint working for some reason. about v1 or v2 .. honestly have no ideas. i am using from 2.1. so i guess you know pros and cons for both versions, i belive you will make the best choice ..

not only the number is bigger, but i guess other updates are there to :)

i am waiting for next sd release, hope it'll be soon :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
test update View attachment Update_DL.zip for fixing the stream media.

for v3(both SD and Nand), just extract the whole folder to root of your sdcard.

for v2(both SD and Nand), extract the update folder within the Desire_DL to the .data on your sdcard.

for v1 and before(SD only), extract the update folder to desire_z folder.

Reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] viperd:
@dandiest : the SD version should work without having the sdcard partitioned ? Or it should be partitioned even if we run by the classic clrcad+haret ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
you can choose either way.
[HD2 Android SD Development] viperd:
Thanks. I will partition now the sd card and try to run it that way. :) Id really like to see the v3.0.
[HD2 Android SD Development] phanihani:
you are so fast dandiest i will try the streaming test my network is so slow now

i dont mind v2 series.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
I did also the videoplaybacktest on SD v2.2.

But I created a folder "root" in Desire_DL and copied the folder "system" from the original fix there in.

I restarted Android an now there is also video and sound.

It's working.

[HD2 Android SD Development] phanihani:
great idea dandiest as of now sd builds are fast better continue with it for some time i prefer v2
[HD2 Android SD Development] ippovelox:
I think squashfs seems slower than unsquasfs. V1 is the best Rom I've ever tried... battery drain, like many other Sd Roms, is the only problem. In my opinion the best solution should be SD-Ram.Cheers Dandiest and thank you for hard work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
Same here, i would vote for 2.x but then without the squashfs, or make it optional ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
In update.streamvedio.sh you rm -f /system/lib/voVidDec.dat.

I think it should be rm -f /system/etc/voVidDec.dat

Instead I copied the folder "update" in Desire_DL.

I started android and the update was also successful, video works.

I have been trying the 3.1 beta download posted on first page, just by copying the DESIRE_HD folder to SD, using the suggested config.txt for SD, no partitions.

I got it to boot once, seems to work smooth, setting the language and WIFI. then it got stuck trying to boot the second time, totally stuck on the black HTC screen.

Back to SD v1.0 for now, this still works best for me...
[HD2 Android SD Development] metroidnemesis13:
My understanding is the ROM is overclocked? How do I clock it back to stock without actually loading and booting into the ROM? Is there a config file, etc? I'm running WP7 and this is going on my SD.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
how long you had to wait to get to setting language and wifi screen?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
I think you need to replace the kernel (zimage file), for the v1.0 SD build you could change to original 8.6 from hastarin ?

Note: have not tried this myself, maybe you need to replace more then just zimage ?

I would also prefer the new SD build not to be overclocked, we can do this ourselves if we want to...

in V3.1 MAGLDR mode, if sd_boost=1 the io=1000+ for quadrant, but sd_boost=0 the io=3000+ sometimes 4000+, (my sandisk c4 8g card)

seems 0 is better ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
No more then 5 minutes, as usual the Red Eye animation shows up in about 2 then wait another 2 for the lock screen...
[HD2 Android SD Development] joyqing:
i use MAGLDR mode to boot AD, now i find the method to change kernel of V2.1 to H8.6 , because the performance of H8.6 is higher than MDJ's kernel, quadrant's score can reach to 2500 for H8.6 but MDJs just only 1900 :confused:

1. make a bootable v2.1 MAGLDR mode AD in sd card. (just v2.1 support MAGLDR mode, folder name must be Desire_z, not Desire_DL);

2. download H8.6 kernel from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787588 and extract to Desire_z, it will automatically execute upgrade script when reboot.

3. fix_permissions to fix FC.

BTW i don't know why V3.1 can't execute upgrade script, so can't change kernel to H8.6. for my personal view, multiple partitions is not more important than kernel H8.6 regarding to performance of our HD2 android, because the structure of SD card is not same as Harddisk(in MAGLDR mode we can't use nand), and there is only one SD in our HD2 but linux server usually has more than one harddisk can make multiple partitions to different disk in order to improve IO load balance.

Thx again for dandiest's great job:)
