@HHarrie:

you mean the recovery what madmax original has made? Dansta34 has prted it to the HD2 and that was very good.

@ljjehl:

you wrote:

it almost looks like you may have some sdcard corruption. .... What rom did you install?

That happend to me twice, but also a lot of tests with 4 different cards wont run the v3.1 on my EU HD2. So i was back to v1.7 and now i am waiting for v1.8 ;).

@Tigermoto:

yes ext4 can be the future for our HD2, but ext4 is not the latest wise thing. You can read a lot of issues with ext4 in combination with roms in beta state. So i think let us wait a while and in the mentime we can search and test it before things going worse or wrong, i think.

@Sneakyghost:

about your damaged USB Port, i use now an cheap external USB Hub 2.0 from SWEEX, ahhh. This name is the hell, but it is now the third one. I do a lot of USB tests and sometimes things going wrong. But my loveley pc :D get no harm in any case. He, he, a hardware firewall. I think we have a new name for the USB hubs - the HF's

That happens to me twice, but there is something what you can do. I think you can have some bad blocks on system and/or the user partition too.

There is a way to check it. Question is if you have experience with adb? Or have you installed once the android-sdk, then we can take a look togehter.

The other thing with the SD Crad is the fastet way to check things. Because the most of us have more then one card (turn head left, ahhhhh).

App corruption and lots of force closes

Oh dear..

All my apps appear to have vanished from my screens and just show blue shortcuts. Those that are still present fc when opened. Weather ect and programs that do open appear to have reset to default e.g userdata/setting is gone. I've checked using core explorer and all files appear to be present on SDCard - I've redownloaded Titanium Backup but continually get fc when trying to open. :mad: Any idea what has gone wrong and how to correct as I'd like to know what happened and not have to resort to a full format & rebuild?

:confused:

It may be relevant but for the last few weeks every time I dowload an app update from the Market my HD2 a few days later Market again shows same version of program as a vaild update even though app on HD2 is current. :confused: Also Market will hang and pause and generally be very laggy when updating/installing apps.

I've reinstalled 1.7 from .Zip with no change to behaviour.

Where i can FInd Danstas34 Recovery.. ??!!

i Searched for it

Thanks !. :D

//NEW:

Now i downloaded

EXT4 MGLDR Recovery for EU: http://www.multiupload.com/NG4BKPKJZN Fron danstas thread

I have CWM on my phone and MGLoader shoulöd i connect my phone and execute DAF.exe ??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
One question to the flash.cfg in that recovery.

Reagarding to Aortega's CD V1.7 Install Guide, i miss the sizes what is really needed or i have overseen this a longer time, oops :D

In the madmax/dansta flash.cfg is to find: 5/235/8

Was that enough for the settings of ShockHTC issues and rom?

I am not sure at all, i was to long busy with Android 4.x.x.

I didn't find the settings in the help or in the 1st five postings.

Tigermoto your help is needed.

@ShockHTC:

please wait a moment to be sure for the flash.cfg settings.

You can do it anyway. It is wrong you have to do it twice with new size settings.

Boot into CWM, select USB Flasher, connect USB from phone to PC, Start DAF.exe and use i think next button and wait for all is done and the phone is rebooted to CWM.

Update:

Found something here in the download. But i thought this was for the V3.1 roms.

(10/390/5) boot up with 10MB, rom with 390MB and running cache 5MB
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
OKay guys something went wrong or didnt solve my problem,...

I installed thge DAF.exe and ent intoo the new AD Recovery menu.

Than i went to Advanced options and checked my SD-EXT it was okay I checked my SDcard and it says there MIGHT be errors blablbal. I choose to repair it, after checking it says it is healthy now:

- Rebooting system

and then i go directly to MAGloader i choose BOot NAND

Error in NAND Kernel...

Now im doing a restorer with a backup i made yesterday wheni had CWM..

I cant have this ROM for longer than 2 Months without problem wtf.

//EDIT - SOmehting NEw.

Restore Complete ...

My next step was COnverting my SD card and The backup TO EXT4 (finished)

Restored again with the EXT4 Backup

Now i can Start booting the phone but it stucks on the first bootscreen (HTC Quitly brilliant Coredroid get u coonnected) [NOT THE BLUE ANIMATED!]

My next step is

COnverting back to EXT3

Flashing again DAF.exe with the new Flash.cfg of mike2nl

(10/390/5)

// RE EDIT:

Converted succesfully back to EXT3

Flashed succesfully (all OK on Mobilephone Screen) DAF.exe with new settings,

~NAND KERNEL OPEN FAILED ! What to do man :/
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Ooooh yes, i read it. So you see self me hash this reading thing again ;). Ok these is when all is ok. If you have bad blocks the system with 390 must be a little bit bigger, so around 410 or 420. That makes it all a little bit smaller to install extra apps, but we have the extsd partition for it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
Guys When i want to change the config 420,410, 400 SIze Error TOO BIG::!..

What to do...

Also please reed my above post cuz it seems u ndidnt read what i've tried and what my error is now.

Tigermoto where are u :S ?!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Have you flashed after you was in CWM your rom again?

I mean the Froyo or whatever you use.

~NAND KERNEL OPEN FAILED <- that means that there is NO rom

Update: oops no answer?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Wow, it's been busy. Let me catch up...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Hi guys, maximum total partition size on an EU512 is 415MB, total..

The biggest you can have is 10/390/15. Which is what I recommended for V3.1, but does work on V1.7 also.

Don't worry too much about bad blocks guys, it ain't that big a deal, with this partition I believe we have space left....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Sorry bro, I've been awfully busy, don't try to use a CWM backup on 4EXT, I doubt it will work, but it's not something I've personally tried.

The partition you want and the way to change it remains unchanged, use 10/390/5 for 1.7 and the possible future 1.8.

If you need me feel free to email me, it's quicker. I believe my address is in my profile.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Hi Tigermoto,

i didn't meaned the space issue. What i have seen on my HD2 number 3, if that i have there a lot of bad blocks. My second test phone has a lot of issues when i made the system partiton to small. I must push up around 5 until 10% because that issue. But wityh that i can do really strange test. So far damaged it is, it is running well. He, he, without any housing and the accu is hold with a cable strip. BVutw orking and i had found it on out local internet market for 30 Euro. That's absolutly ok for tests in every case. I am a carzy old unxi nerd, i know *lol.

And yes, 415MB... i have found it on the internet on my russian server *s

Hope sometimes we will meet us all to have a cool beach party or a europe XDA event in the netherlands
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
I believe I have used a CWM backup on 4EXT, but that was before I changed to ext4, once I changed to ext4, not really a good idea anymore....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
You are smarter than I bro and no mistake. I worked out the 415MB by trial and error and I have never seen UNIX. All I know I is what I learn from others....

With regards the bad blocks, I know what you're saying bro, but I don't think it is too big a deal with CD, if you are unsure, after your next flash but before the reboot, click create log in CWM, and then find it, bad blocks identified.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Bro, not smarter only older i think. And that gives me let say some millilmeter more ;) in friends in russia. That's all and not more.

You are right there must be a lot of bad blocks to have that issue. But live is hard and real in dab block issues. Ha, ha.. when you have let say 20 bad blocks in system and let say in range of 30% to 60% of that ram you need, then you can be very unhappy. I did not make that experinece, a friend of me told me that with his HD2. But he has now a new one and i can get it on saturday for mre tests on my won with android 4.x.x camcorder.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
So guys what can i Do now :O ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Good question, where are you or better your phone on what is done until now.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
One Page back, i posted excactly what i did and wherei stuck :/
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
The only thing i can see is that you have done a restore from ???

But what is with the rom?

Otherwise write it down in a simple way...

- 1st

- 2nd

- 3rd

Then we have the points clear, because otherwise we miss the red line.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
there i stuck:...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
So i have to ask again. Where have you flashed the rom?

From the restore?

Then it can be damaged..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
Yeah i just restored my backup that i made after is saw that i stucks on the blue animation screen(before doing any steps above)..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
So then have a clean install without your restore and then boot it up to see it is working. But i have to go to sleep now. My eyes closing for it self. Read you tomorrow, or better later on this day ;-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
So i will loose all my apps againn??

and should i Flash again CWM or should i keep the DAF.file form dansta34
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wapvirus:
Well I made a splash screen for my CoreDriod ROM as froyo don't have one ,and i have uploaded here just in case others want it

Just flash from Boot-loader ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Cool idea wapvirus, the 3d deepness look...

About that i have made a first idea, not 100% cleaned up because i have no original psd's from coredroid. Possible the team have one, then i can make it much more better. And an idea for a sound is growing right now...

The uploaded graphic is much more worse because XDA limitations, buaaeehh ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Lol yeah i made a splash in the past too n i asked for some high res graphics too but was told to go to the website and ask the guys over there for some reason.

i just grabbed the coredroid logo stuff from the website and reworked it with Photoshop as you don't really need high res on the 480x800 splash lol...

it worked out and looked cool so if you want to do some stuff yourself just have a look on the site...

[EDIT]

Your Splash looks awesome mate! Love it!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Yeah Sneakyghost,

when you have thank you for your help !!!!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Nice work guys, I have my own splash screen using my beta member image and the Dic3ptor AndrOscar, and I love it.

@Wapvirus, sorry to be negative, but it's CoreDroid, not CoreDriod. But other than that, nice...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
And here the next two bootlogo's.

The first one as normal and the second one with little blurry text.

My favior is the 1st one. Have to test it ;-)

I don't know the original font name of all the team members and

big bosses *lol. Possible someone can help out in that case ...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
That one is very special. When i had more time, but time is to short the next 3 or 4 days.

BTW: you mean this one ? Or the shadow one ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
It's this, i don't have skills with photoshop yet, but paint.net did well enough for me...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
Realllyy Reallllyyyy nice splash screen guys =)

But what about me :S ?!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Dude, you need to start over, try clearing cache and dalvik, fixing permissions etc, but if that doesn't work...... it's over.

Alternatively, flash CWM again and use your backups from there.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
just been skipping through the posts but i think i have read someone saying 4ext is unsure with backup and restore...

i am on it since dansta released it now and it works cool with backups, the only thing it doesnt do is restoring from older cwm versions, it only does from its own backups...

sorry for my bad writingh here am in ahurrry need get back to work cyas later
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
That's what i meant...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
@ShockHTC:

when you not live so far away i would say:

come along to me and i will fix it for you, but that's a lot of miles/km.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

give me your coredroid graphic (a clean version ;-)), the font name you used in top and i will made it for you

BTW: i see that the new rom sense 3.5 is out on 5th january. Congrats to the team
[HD2 Android NAND Development] phikal:
? A New rom ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
? where ? you have one ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Neither of you have LOL, cause i haven't yet.

The Sensation, DHD have, but not it's not yet ready for testing on HD2.

Not long though i suspect......
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
From Germany, Düsseldorf to Utrecht -> 189,9 km 2 hours with car :P i dont have car :P

So Guys is there any possibility to flash only a clean ROm without loosin Apps, messages etc.. i know contacts are synced with android but the rest.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
When your backup is done in ext3 then you have to install ext3 again and not ext4. My personal meaning is, that ext4 i not ready yet. I have done the noght over 30 isnatllations on two phones. Only 3 of them running good, the rest is deppending on how good the work before flashing is done. And is only one byte/bit fallen ;), then the problem comes by the 1st boot or after restore. There is a lot of work todo to get it, in german idiotensicher, in english dummy proofed.

But i had for the installation a lot of issues too. There are 2 downloads of the daf.exe where the exe file is corrupt and not working. That's heavy and i am busy right now to get things really proofed and tested, and then find a sure download line that supports cvs or md5 download mechanism with easy tools. We use things likie that, but they are commercial. But i think i have found some freeware stuff.

When i see how many downloads are done everyday, and how many data are corrupted in this case, then the rate goes up, but only very slow. There must be things changed.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
Still have Danstas Recovery Menu, Now i (JUST!!) Restored the backup i took after my problem occurs the VEERY first time [EXT 3] again but the problem is like the very beginning

it stucks on the blue Anmitaed screen Get You connected Coredroid ... Holy =?§%(@!*P$
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
So that means... to be absolutly cleare in this case, pleae. Nobody can see what you have done until now. It is no olonger clear.

Can you write it down again please:

- have done repartition the whole sd card in the pc (one fat32 partition, formated)?

- have you done task29?

- have you done transfer magldr.nbh with ROMUpdateUtility.exe?

- have you done usb flash with daf.exe and 8/390/12 (in my case)?

- have you done partition ext3 on sd 0/1024 or 0/2048?

- have you done then (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, fis permission - in that order)?

- have you done usb boot to transfer the rom zip file to sd card (froyo 1.7 or sense 3.1)?

- have you done install zip from sd card ;-)?

- have you wait around 5 minutes to first screen and then 5 minutes longer?

- have you waked up the phone and then done the setup?

- have you done a reboot to CWM?

- have you done fix permission again?

- have you rebootedt (noeeds now a longer time)?

- have you checked then taht the keyborad is working?

- have you wait around 10 minutes to settle the phone?

This must work, otherwise you have a bigger issue.

The next question is:

if your restore data ok or not? Because bad blocks and

these bad blocks can damage i backup too.

You can read this back in more then one cases via google.

At least..before you anything restore, this MUST working.

Before you make a restore, please reponse on this here,

otherwise nobody can help you. We need to know the step

by step you have done.

Please write it down and it can be a text file. This text file

you can upload here to xda in ytour posting...

BTW:

danstas ext4 is not workinh on my EU HD2, i don't know why,

but it can be an issue at all. No other rom here is like this rom.

So as by every rom...

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
@Mike2nl

u said there is corrupt downloads of the 4EXT. Where?

U said u got probs with it. I don't. What probs?

I have problems with installations too but they come from my sd and USB...

Sure about the 4EXT issue?

am not doubting your statements, just trying to figure out a few things at the moment because I keep having fails from corrupted data myself (and its not the bad blocks for sure).

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
@mike2nl

mike, actually i wasn't gonna post on this but just read a few things but i am a hot tempered guy (german but still a lot of temper hrhr) and i need to express something here:

I highly appreciate that someone with knowledge on memory has his fingers in the business here because i feel that most errors, fails and problems are down to bad memory or bad memory management. it is just a feeling and the only "proof" i have is that i see how much everything changes by just changing the SD Card (my new Samsung was the worst ever i had, seriously, it was also the cheapest one and i suspect Samsung to really have it ****ed up this time).

Still, you are right about your frustrated "tone in voice" as we'd say in german and it sounds a little hurting and like we others all know nothing. Thats not good. I am sure there is a hell of a lot of people trying their best to figure out things even tho or despite not having adequate means to do so, meaning a lack of knowledge and understanding. Including myself. I have to learn most things from scratch as i come from WinMo, own a HD2 without any Bad Blocks (Hynix Chip once again), tested with MTTY every so often, that was always working perfectly. Never any errors. Since i am on Android i suddenly know how important good chips are because for some wicked reason the "holy grail" Android (oh my god how i hate this worshipping) cannot deal with it well.

Since you are seemingly Dutch and your Nation has a long tradition of openness and speak-up mentality ( i have always enjoyed working with dutch co-workers) i am very sure you will not feel offended and know how to take this.

I just ask you not to drop to much **** on others here even tho others might express themselves inadequate at times. I myself tend to get very hurting too but i always try not to.

I am aware of the 4EXT discussion actually to the point where i can say there is 50% claiming NAND in general cannot deal well with it and the other half claims the opposite. So i don't really want to comment on it.

All i can say for now is: my SD-Card and/or my reader where crap, also one of my controllers obviously fail at times.

I am going to"try" (mark my words i am not testing according to your definition :D ) things with my brand spanking new laptop the comming weeks and see if the SD and USB Controller (one chip on mainboard this time) handles it any better.

And last but not least: thanks heaps mate for your very comprehensive post!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Hi guys,

I think we need to relax a little yeah, don't get too intense.

We are all just here to make our phones great and both of you can say some things that strike chords, just put it down to errors in translation and we can all be friends.

@Sneakyghost:- You do have a tendency to call people out and that's great, but you can seem like you outright don't believe anybody, and people who are considered experts in their field can be hurt that way.

@Mike2NL:- Love you bro, but you have got to understand that not everyone is an expert on UNIX and memory, so it can appear you are trying to be better than everyone, and this strikes nerves also.

@Tigermoto:- Who do you think you are trying to be a mediator?

We all need to get along and help each other yeah?

Or do I have to bang your heads together LOL (Now hoping this is not an English phrase only)

Calm down boys, and check my sig.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
@Tigermoto

:D

@Mike2nl:

just read up that article on backups. interesting story. would you possibly know if the 4EXT recovery needs or does consider any of that? because it actually IS backing up from one files system to another and thus i wonder if any of the meta is preserved and if it is, then is it done right? [EDIT] I think it is backing up binary and raw and thus it should actually do it right shouldn't it?

One thing i have noted during the past weeks is a problem after restoring, sometimes, the OS won't boot, sometimes it just doesn't seem to work right. Which would possibly speak for incorrect backups? right?

I was putting that down to bad chips until now but will consider Unix/Linux specific problems more now. Am not familiar with this but i will try.

As far as i have followed here we had these non-boot issues here too didn't we?

as of late i am mainly sticking around danstas thread but i can tell some things related to the new recovery seem similar.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Sneakyghost, using 4EXT, does your backup work every time?

I'm only asking because i backed up this morning at stupid O'Clock so i could flash, and it just errored out on me, did it again and it worked fine...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
i've done exactly 6 backups using 4EXT and restored them all. They all worked.

Only the first one which was done using the old 5.0.2.6 modification didn't work with the 4EXT restore (that'd be lucky number slevin).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
I don't mean restore, when i tried to backup it said "blahblahblah error" and then stopped.

However, when i click it again, all was rosy.

Matter's little now TBH, i'm on the new one.......
[HD2 Android NAND Development] oliverde8:
Hi me again

I had my HTC HD2 working like a charm for over 2 weeks now, with CoreDroid Froyo 1.7.

This morning the phone closed dead because I had fogoth to charge it. Never mind put it on the charge the phone starts.

It ask fro my PIn code everything is fine. Then I have the message :

The Application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly

What can I do? I read that i needed to clear the cache of that application but how do I acces the settings without accesing the main screen?

Re installing Android is out of the question, if I can't make it work my next ROM will be a winmo, never had a problem that a restart couldn't solve. This is already my third clean install in 3 weeks and every time I had at least once this error message.

Thanks,
