probably just the android build or the way you copied it to sd card (follow all directions to a T). if your tmobile us , try this link below. you will find the most compatible build for the tmous.

Where exactly did it get stuck? What was the last text to appear on the screen?
Was it placed in the root of the sd card (in the folder Android)?
Mark.

It got stuck like at the begining of the booting of Android,I extracted it to root sd in a folder android..I even tried few android roms... some did the flash light thing and then all screen went white with black strips.
maybe u guys can recommend me a rom that fits the best for t-mobile thx.

did you extract to a folder on your desktop(named whatever you want) and then copy the file named android directly to your sd card?
any rom in the rom development forum will work that states it is android friendly. i actually am running the original rom from tmous and it works just fine, so i dont think that is your problem. although a i have found that a android freindly rom is faster, i just like go with origianl rom for peace of mind since it works for me.

my phone running Android pretty well...
how long you've waited? the 1st boot usually takes 20 minutes

Hmm thx guys i will try again,20 mins boot O_O omg..
on my HD2 not t-mobile.. it boots up fast no problems.

The first boot takes a while as it creates the data img. The larger the data img u choose the longer it takes although some builds come with a standard img

Radio
Try newer radio version

Like others have said. Make sure to copy the files to the SD card correctly under an Android folder and definitely update the radio. I use 2.15 with great success with my TMOUS phone. I use the Energy Cookie ROM, 2.15 radio and Mdeejay 1.1 Clean build. With Wi-Fi and GPS off, I get between 3-7mA on standby now. It is my daily OS now.

Ive flashed more than 4 diff radios and i have been getting the SOD on Android. Some worse than others and some with a slight 5 sec delay. Ive read around and some people say they have SOD-less Android running on their HD2. WHAT RADIO ARE YOU USING AND WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE PROCESS. THANK YOU FOR ANY RESPONSES. Ive been using Android as my main OS and I Love It. Only Thing Is The SOD.
Radios Ive Tried:
2.12.50.02.2
2.09.50.29.2
2.10.50.28_2
2.08.50.08.2

Well obviously the radio isn't the cause of the problems...I'm quite sure you've seen which radios people are using in various threads, and know that 2.10, and 2.12 are the most used and work fine...and which radio you are TOLD to use in the FAQs etc...
I suggest asking in here for more help regarding SOD.
It could be related to the ROM you are using, the build you are using...
1) Load HSLP3
1) Replace your Windows rom with the Chuckydroid Rom (add http) forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734238 (note: it's called "chuckydroid", but it's WM 6.5 that's been modified and "lightened" for android, so don't be confused like I was)
2) Use radio version 2.12.50.02_2
3) insert and then wipe your memory card.
4) Load Darkstone V2.1
Then, grab a brew and enjoy using Android Froyo 100% of the time, almost problem free. (compass does not work, and a few apps do not load, almost all the good ones do, however). GPS, Wifi is excellent.
Cheers!

i agree, except i would use shrubcraft 1.4c with the 2.12 radio it seemed to fix all of my sod problems! i used to get the screens of death all the time!! hope this helps !!! make sure to reformatt the sd b4 u install the files onto it! i use windows to format!!
formatting will wipe everything on my sd. i have a 16gb and 3.3gb left. is wiping necessary and will make a difference?

Ditto
bottom line - ( I WOULD LIKE TO DISPEL THIS MYTH )
1. HSPL version has no bearing at all running Android builds!
2. THERE IS NO SINGLE PARTICULAR ROM BUILD (Weather light or full Winmo)
so long as the Chef mentions it is Android Friendly!
3. There is no SINGLE PARTICULAR RADIO as long as it is recommended
4. there are a lot of stable builds at present that are GOOD FOR DAILY USE!

You can back up your SD card on your PC using the USB connection. Might take a while to backup 12 gigs, though.

Same here
I did have the 2.08 radio, and I was getting SOD's like nobody's business, but as soon as I switched to 2.12, no more SODs. Haven't had a single one since.
HSPL 2
Energy ROM - Cookie's
I haven't had a singe SOD
Tmo latest stock Radio 2.10.50.26
ROM Miri 17.6 23569
Shubcraft Roms.
Never had an SOD, i get screen freezes(5 secs) once or twice per day though, but i think this is "normal".
2.12.50.02_2
Sent from HTC HD2 using XDA app.
any lite rom to cooked for the purpose of running android on hd2 will work..
u can try either
EnergyROM for android
Chuckydroid
MiriROM
so far, these 3 roms are known to work great for running android..
next u need the proper radio..
2.12.50.02.2 works for sure for me because i had my phone on it for 3 full weeks and i have not have a SOD.. so i thought to be funny yesterday and flashed 2.11..
5 mins later i got an SOD.. so pls, use 2.12.50.02.2 and see if it solves ur problem..
lastly, u NEED TO REFORMAT THE SD CARD... no qns about that..
so in all, u need to do 3 things..
1) get a lite rom cooked to run android
2) flash 2.12.50.02.2
3) format ur sd card
do all of these above and u should not get any SOD..
and if i were u, i would back up my stuff, and only copy the android build files into the sd card and boot into it to and make sure that the sod cleared up before copying the other 12GB++ of stuff back in..
hope it works out right for u..
Same as the OP - running Elegancia v4, mattc froyo 1.5b, HSPL3 on tmous. With radio 2.08 I had constant SODs, flashed to 2.12 and I've been running android all day without a single SOD or crash.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
one thing that really helped me was doing a format on the sd card. Not a quick format, but the one that takes a long time to finish
I am on NRGZ 18 aug 23678 Cookies and 2.12 radio.
Never had any SODs with Miri,Dutty,NRGZ and kwbr
But I think that you must have an Android friendly ROM which is a 2.13 base

2 10 50 26 works a dream. No robo voice.
- pointless thread. many factors can cause SOD .
- all answers are in the threads surrounding this one or being worked on by devs.
I've been using 2.12.50 since before android came about, and I have very rarely had a sod,maybe in early days I was getting it occasionally but not daily. I've used all energy roms and still get same results. Only problems I found was when the zimages weren't as stable as they are now. But haven't had a single sod in over 2 weeks.

Can I have some guidance?

Hey guys I am an enthusiast about Android and recently I purchased a HD2 which is great as a phone (hardware specs) but it lacks of a good software. So on my quest to make this phone the best I stumble upon this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
and which I thought it was the greatest because it tells you how to do everything for u to run Android in your Phone. I did every single step in it I installed ChuckyGTX Rom in it, but when I run HTC Sebse Desire Build, it boots up great and it works, after about five minutes in it freezes up and stop responding.
I really don't know if I installed the right HSPL, Radio, ROM and Android, for dat matter, in my phone. So I would love if someone here can help me. Thanks before hand. I really don't know if I installed it right or not? which one is supposed to go first? The phone is working fine with Chucky Rom, except that it does not display my location weather. Also I do not have a sim card in it yet!
This are the things I installed in my phone:
HSPL3
Radio 2.12.50_2
ROM: Chucky ROM GTX (but I dont know which one, when it boots up it says GTX 2.5, I did not download it from here)
Android: HTC Sense Desire Build
This are the specs for my phone.
SPL 2.10
ROM Version 3.14
Radio 2.15.50.14

First thing I would try is to delete the android build from your SD card completely, re download it and start again to see if the problem is still there.
If it still happens then try another build and see how that runs.
Finding a build that works well for you can be a lot of trial and error.
You could always try using a newer kernel for the build your having problems with, search the android sections for info on that.
Im not sure if having a sim card will affect how it runs or not but I dont think so.
Hope that helps......

After every time Android froze I did uninstall it and reformat the SD card. Also I try about 4 different builds but the only one dat it goes to the system is HTC Desire Sense Build (Which I love by the way) the rest of them get stock on android logo or they never finished booting up completely.
And what other kernel you think I can use on my phone?

Hmmm
Wouldnt worry about a kernel for the moment.
Only thing I can suggest for now is trying a different WM Rom........
Do u mean like a new OS for da phone right? Where can I get one dat u think it will work for this phone? Or I was thinking to put the phone back like it was and start all over again from scratch. But Im not even sure how to put it back to default.
Am I right in thinking that you have a "tmous" HD2? (green and red hardware keys?).....
If so you need to read through this thread for info on flashing a new rom..
Then choose a rom from here.....
or here.........
make sure its compatible with your tmous hd2..... most of them are.
You could also flash a new radio if you want. Make sure you only flash radios with a .50. in the name......
NEVER EVER go anywhere a radio with .51. in the name, these are for the other type of hd2 and will kill your phone.
Might also be worth posting your problem in the hd2 android section......

If u mean green and red keys to Open and Hangup buttons then yes, dat is the phone I have. Also the thread u r telling me to read is da one I used to flash my 1024Leo
ok well i would start over again from scratch.......
new rom, radio, format sd card, new build etc then see what happens......
Great news conantroutman I did what u tell me to do and I got the HTC Sense Desire Build running. Here is what I did:
Change the ROM back to Chucky GTX
Change Radio 2.12.50.2 to 2.08.50.05
But there are some issues that are I guess aggravating me the first one is that it shows all the weather for all the areas except mine and the battery drains while the phone is plugged to the computer. But besides that it did not freeze and it runs pretty smooth. Is there anything u can recommend me to do in this case. Heheheheh!!! I really want it to run as my main cellphone system.
I didnt use the desire build for very long so I'm not sure of what settings are available.........
I would look for something along the lines of "Allow charging whilst connected via usb" or something like that, tucked away somewhere in the settings menu..........
The weather issue...........
Depends what your using to get your weather info....
Sense?
Weatherbug?
Other?
Not every location is listed so it might default to the nearest listed location to where you are....... try using another gps related app and get a fix to make sure it knows where you are and see if that helps........
Theres a good chance someone else using this build will have asked this in the thread for the build so might be worth trying there........
Glad to hear you got it up and running

Htc Hd2

I have a problem and was wondering if any can help me out. My hd2 is not getting past the loading screen. I have NRG rom and when I turn on the phone it gets to the NGR sign and stops. It just started doing this yesterday. I can get into the bootloader but when I tried to put a new rom on the device it just said it can not connect to the device. I don't know if my phone has brick or not because it turns on and I can get into bootloaders. Anyone with any answers.
Thank you

Hi
What is th version and name of the NRG rom. and did you HSPL and what radio version if you know
Russ
have you changed radio yet? regular hd2 ships with a ..51.. radio but nrg rom requires a ..50.. radio.
enter bootloader - confirm spl says x.xx.hspl and not x.xx.0000 - flash a radio.
a rom that requires a 50 radio wont get past loading screen with a 51 radio.
Quoted from Energy rom instructions
''
Q: After a reset my Phone hangs on white screen while loading.
A: This is caused by a non compatible Radio. Upgrade to a 2.xx.50.xx radio version, which also unlocks the 576MB RAM
''
If this is the correct answer, then shame on you for not reading the energy rom thread correctly before flashing.
radio is 2.15.50.14. This is not my first time running NRG rom on my phone.
OK What version are you using of NRG rom, is it the dinik, touch of glass, GTX.etc and what date did you down load? was it the last update 18dec? 29xxxx as there is a lot of problems with that versions. Infact they have been removed from the download link. I had to go back to my old version from the 13th Dec to get it back working.
So think it would be better if you flash the older version of what you are using until NRG gets the new versions fixed. (His laptop crapped out on him. As per the ROM links)
Yes, it was the touch of glass version and it was the last update 18dec. So, I tried to upload miri and dinik but it just read my computer wasn't sync to the computer. So, it maybe something wrong with the rom and my phone should be alright.
You title a topic in the HD2 section as "HTC HD2"

So, how do I put the old on back on their. I tried loading from bootloader but my computer won't read it now. It will not connect to the pda phone. I don't know what to do. Do you know of anything else I could do.

[Q] Please help a (Rezound) noob. Probably super simple fix.

I bought a Rezound on ebay, pre-rooted/unlocked with the leaked ICS / Sense 3.6 ROM (besides that, pretty much bone-stock)
I decided I wanted to try out a different ROM and make sure I am familiar with the process before I try to do the S-OFF process....
Well, I found that the first thing I needed to do to upgrade to (insert ICS/Sense 4 Rom here) was to upgrade to the newest Firmware (3.11.605.22), and I am currently on 3.11.605.01 ... I followed their instructions closely to update the firmware ( re-lock , load new FW as PH98IMG.zip , flash it , unlock, etc)
Well, that didn't work for me, when I got to loading up hboot and it automatically updating the FW, it didn't do what the instructions said it would, it showed a dark blue bar near the top/right, waited for that to complete, then same thing but yellow, that completed and asked to reboot, but would only reboot to fastboot...
eventually I unlocked it again and it allowed me to return to my ROM (normal ICS/sense 3.6)
Sorry about this short story... lol ^
Basically I cannot for the life of me install any rom with success... I can't even restore the nandroid I made last night (before any of this) with success..
the CLOSEST thing to success I got was installing newts One XxX sense 4 rom, it booted, and will sit on the lock screen just fine, but when I try to unlock and go to settings to turn off animations (like instructed) it will freeze and reboot....
DO I need to install the newest FW???
OR what do I need to dooo?
Pls help! I am fairly familiar with android, as I had a D Inc before this, evervolv ICS etc etc....
Thanks alot anyone !

If you want to go back to a GB rom you need to reflash the boot image that came with it. If you want a sense 4.0 to work you need to flash the old firmware patch. For the patch I have attached it. Flash it via recovery and your rebooting on a sense 4.0 rom/ new firmware rom should be gone. (don't forget to follow the OP for Newts rom about disabling animations btw) for the boot images look to the op of the rom you are running.

Ok thanks for the reply, I did install the "old firmware patch" included with Newts XxX Sense 4 ROM, and I can successfully get the ROM to boot, it doesn't operate very well, and only for a few minutes because it will freeze and reboot. It doesn't allow me to get to the settings, no matter how fast I try to get there, it ALWAYS freezes before I can access the setting :/ ...

Hmm.. wow I'm lost. I had the same issues before I installed the patch, but after I didn't and it went fine. I'm going to have to think about this one for awhile.

Okay after flashing the ^above^ patch, the rom seems to work now, it didn't freeze so I was able to turn off animations and now it works might fine
Do you know by chance any good kernels for an ICS/Sense 4 ROM?
the stock one was draining faster than it was charging (while plugged in lol)
So I tried out the 1.836 OC kernel and it seems to be working fine, but I am interested more in battery life than performance right now, coming from the DInc, this phone is buttery smooth and doesn't REALLY need OC just yet (for me anyway)
Thanks for the help by the way!

[Q] No custom rom is working for me

Hello,
I have a huge Problem:
Last weekend i installed HSPL on my European HTC Titan and flashed Dynamics V2.0.
This Rom was extremely buggy and wasn't booting again after I turned it of once.
Then I tried the second Rom, Eburon V2.1, which had the same Problems.
After that I installed the European Stock 7.8, which worked better but also stopped working after I installed the official Facebook App.
The next one I used was EB Edition V2.6, worked for a whole day but stopped working after I installed an App from the market. Now the phone isn't booting any more.
I have always installed the right radio, which was in the download file.
My question is:
Are those custom roms so buggy or am I the only person who cannot install any Rom?
How can I fix these problems?
When there is no solution to that I have to sell my HTC Titan and buy an Android Phone again, where custom roms are really working...

The answer to your question is; no! I'm currently running Eburon 2.1 and it's running as good as Eburon 2.0 which I've posted runs as smooth as a baby's butt! I'm not familiar with the European Stock 7.8 and I'm curious as to whether it's a custom ROM and designed to run with HSPL. Microsoft's Facebook app has always been buggy; however, within the People Hub it runs there too and all you have to go is go up under your settings and accounts and put your username and password there and you're good to go. As for your phone not booting, I have no idea.
What you need to do is literally start over; if...if...you do not have HSPL; double check this up under your bootloader. Attempting to install all these different ROMs begs the question if you re-locked your phone. Start from knowing for a fact your device is HSPL and has the words "CottulaH" on the bootloader screen. If it does, proceed to flashing your ROM but make sure you have at least a 50% battery charge and the installation process isn't disrupted for any reason. It's a toss up here as to which ROM is the best but you can't go wrong with either the Dynamic 2.0 or Eburon 2.x series.

Sounds to me like you are getting bad flashes? Most WP7 custom roms are very stable and perform well 99% of the time. Been using the Dynamics rom on one of my Titans for 2 months or so with no problems whatsoever. The official FB app is buggy...I don't even both installing it.
Now, I'm not here to bash Android, but I dabbled into cooking some Android roms a few years ago. IMHO custom roms on WP are about 10x's more stable than any Android rom I've come across.
Ok, thanks for your replies, but just don't use the official Facebook app isn't a solution.
Could it be a solution to wait ca. one hour after installing a rom and let the phone configure everthing (maybe the phone needs that time)?
Because I set up all my accounts and install the apps I need directly after the rom has booted. Maybe it works if I wait before doing that.

Definitely - not. This is not a reason of your issue. I would offer to repeat the procedure of HSPL-ing. All customs work at least not worse than the stock roms.
I guess you may have the hardware issue. To be 100% sure - try to flash older stock - like 2.05 (with 16 radio). If it also does not work for you - than - pass your phone to the workshop - it's hardware.

I had that idea after flashing Deepshining V3: The readme says that you have to activate "Trust all applications" in Root Manager, I wanted to do that, but I got an error message "No root access. Be sure you have fully unlocked your rom".
This was very weird, because that's the app needed to permit other Apps root access.
Also, none of the 3 soft buttons worked.
I waited a couple of minutes and restarted the phone several times, and suddenly the soft buttons worked and Root manager had root access.

Looks like the phone is swapping or caching something for ages. Maybe it's a Storage card malfunctioning. So hopefully the fixing will be just card replacement.
Mhh, ok, so what should I tell HTC? I can't say that I wanted to install custom roms, but none of them is working, so the phone needs a card replacement xD.
I tried installing Dynamics V2.0 again, and it works until I try to install WhatsApp, then it ends up in bootloops.
But the original stock 7.5 Mango worked without any problems. If the storage card is damaged, the original rom would also not work.

Did you install stock Mango AFTER you had tried all possible customs and it worked w/o issues?

No, before flashing a custom Rom everything worked, and since I tried to install custom roms I have nothing but Problems...

So - once again - try to flash stock. If it works - the problem is installing HSPL. If it does not work properly - just send the phone to workshop. Maybe it's just bad coincidence - the card died when you had installed HSPL....

Maybe it works now.
I did the whole HSPL Flash Thing again and now I was able to install WhatsApp on Dynamics V2.0.
It's only a small Progress, but it is one.
I will try the Rom tommorrow and if it crashes again, I go back to Stock 7.5.
similar problem
my Problem is, that after installing the Dynamics Rom, the device is just showing the white bootscreen with the htc-logo on it.
I am still able to enter bootloader mode, but I don't see any advantage in it.
The device was Vodafone-branded.
I hope someone can help me.
Did you follow the instructions at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684912 before flashing the Dynamics Rom?? If you didn't debrand and unlock with HSPL you get stuck or have the wrong radio rom installed.

I did. But I think I know what I was doing wrong. The step between finishing HSPL installation and Dynamics setup...should have I installed the phone first and done a Zune synchro? Cause I didn't -.-
Just install the radio rom that comes with the Dynamics rom. That should do it. You don't need a Zune synchro afterwards unless you want to copy pictures, music, videos back to your HTC.
