Hi,
Alright, im totally new to this; I'm trying to run Android on my HD2...
So, All guides I found kind of talked about the same things:
1, Flash phone with HSPL3
2. Flash phone with Radio 2.15.50.40
3. Flash magldr v.1.13
4. Download a NAND ROM -- I was first trying with Cope's Cyanogen Rom, kept getting stuck on GO GO GO! (in magldr) after a while I actually got it to work, but couldn't get data to work, the first time I restarted the phone it got stuck again....
Then I flashed official tmobile wm, got rid of magldr, and started all over, but this time I tried flashing MDJ's Cyanogen Rom, however after resolving several previous issues i got stuck on GO GO GO! again...
also, I have tried with both magldr v 1.11 and 1.13
-------------------
Is there something wrong with the previous steps I took? Any suggestions?
There is another thing that was always wrong with my phone which might be causing this problem; ever since I got it it would sometimes get stuck on the first purple "stay together" screen and not want to move... Even after I restart the screen would persist, and the only solution was to let it 'chill' for a while before attempting to turn on again...[It got stuck even when I flashed the wm to get rid of mangldr]
So any suggestions on how could I get Android running ???
Thanks
Never mind....
It seems to have fixed itself!!! THIS IS GREAT!!! Skyfire, one bus away!!!!
Thanks to all for this awsome forum and for the great roms!!!!

Hi, Can you please tell me how do you fix your data to work? On my HD2 everthing iworks fine except data using phone connection ( Data works fine on wifi). Please let me know how to fix this or send me a link for your android ROM. I am using Flash phone with HSPL2.08
2. Flash magldr v.1.13. Anroid version 2.2. I dont know the radio version i am using.
Thanks in advance. Mathew
First time poster: sorry if this is covered someplace, but the forum is quite extensive, and I couldn't find this particular issue anywhere.
I own a Rogers Captivate which I rooted, kept on stock rogers 2.2 firmware, but upgraded the kernel to Onix 2.0.5. I discovered the ROM kitchen today, and thought I'd try 2.3.3 (I got XWJVH v3). I turned off my lagfix, did a factory reset, cleaned my caches and attempted to flash within CWM. I think the flash was only partially successful: I am able to get the phone to boot into android about 40% of the time.
What concerns me is that even though I have installed ROM Manager, and a CWM app came pre-installed with this ROM, I do not appear to have any recovery loader. When I try with quickboot or from my PC the phone just sits at the "I896" splashscreen. It may be worth noting that I attemped this with whatever stock kernel the Kitchen gave me, as well as two versions of Talon. Heimdall has been successful in flashing these alternate kernels for me, Odin doesn't seem to see the phone at all. I have many NANDROID backups, but if I can't get into recovery, I seem to be stuck!
During normal boot (and some unsuccessful recovery attempts) the phone goes into a mode in which the graphics are not displayed properly - I cannot describe this any better than being reminiscent of when an NES catridge was dirty and needed cleaning.
If someone could provide me with some advice, or point me towards a 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 ROM that I can flash on a Canadian GS within Heimdall, I'd appreciate it.

Very easy install and a custom kitchen for all your add on needs.
I don't know what to do next, and I need my phone. I can answer any questions, but I wouldn't know what to start with. Can someone help??
Quick questions to answer:
1. What Rom were you on prior to flashing?
2. What Rom were you flashing to?
3. What do you see on your screen?
4. Do button presses give any reaction?
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136128 v5.0, it's Gingerbread.
2. I was flashing to CM7, but it didn't flash, so I did what was probably a mistake and went straight for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625619&page=1.
3. I see "DevilKernel" Samsung Galaxy S.
4. If I hold down the volume and power buttons, the DevilKernal boot screen will flash. If I keep the power button held down it resets, if I don't it just flashes and nothing else.
By the way, thanks.
Ok, here's what happened:
The first bootloop you were seeing with CM7 is actually a normal occurrence. You usually have to flash CM-based roms twice to get them to "take" (the first time sets up MTD over BML, the second time installs the rom).
What you're seeing now is the devil kernel trying to load up the CM9-based system, but not having all the parts in place.
Thankfully, you're not in that bad of a place. The easiest thing to do right now is to grab an Odin- or Heimdall-based one click Gingerbread stock package without bootloaders. There's a sticky in the Development section that has them, or you can grab the one in my signature.
Flash the one-click, go to recovery, and flash either CM7 twice or TWICS twice.
That should fix you up.
When I tried flashing the CM7, it said it failed. I'm not sure what went wrong. The TWICS I planned on flashing twice, but it got stuck.
Hard to say - it could be something as simple as a bad download of the flash file.
But you think if I Odin it and try TWICS again it'll work?
It should. Doing the Odin one-click will reset everything back to a factory state, which should remove all the obstacles that would normally stand in the way of a successful installation.
Hey man, for that ROM, this theme will work, right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095911
I don't know anything about themes. Or this, apparently. I also got into Recovery and installed it twice, I don't really know what's going on.
So you're now fully set up with TWICS, or you're saying that it's still misbehaving?
Also, that theme should work - I had a CM7 theme that I was able to use with a CM9 rom's theme chooser. Wasn't 100%, but it generally worked.
I'm not sure WHAT is going on. The ROM seems to be working fine, I am reinstalling my apps from Titanium Backup and a "Low on space" popup is here, but that makes no sense since it's the same phone, it's a smaller ROM, and a 32gig SD Card. I also just got a text message that was "rejected due to low space".
What is going on??
It seems my phone always is unable to continue once Super Monkey Ball 2 tries to be backed up.
Look around in the cm7 thread for the dbdata full issue. I think there were some suggestions for how to deal with it in there.
HELP!, I have been very lucky in the past and have had very few issues rooting and applying different themes, kernels etc. but the fact is I have little idea of what I am doing. For some reason I can't explain I tried to load the ninja rom to get FP5, ( and I did not back up before I tried to install it. because I am that stupid). Not sure what happened but I got stuck in a Samsung logo boot loop. I read where someone else had similar issues and got going again by putting Tweaked 2.2 over top after a clearing data etc so I tried that. Now when I boot I get the Samsung logo and it just sits there. I have rebooted several times, battery pulls, mounted everything and I still get the same frozen logo.
I would like any file I can load from CWM or Odin to get me back up. I will go back to stock if need be but I am not sure what I need to get back to stock FP1 to start again from there. or stock FP5 or whatever.
I have cleared data already so whatever gets me working I will try
I found a video with instructions to to EP4 but I thought that might be a little too far back. I know how to use CWM and Odin, I am just not sure what I need to get to stock, or any good working version, starting from my current state.
(Seached for FP1 stock but mostly found discussions of "upcoming" OTA and the EP4 videos.)
Thanks

Take a look this, you have many FP1 stock roms (debloated/deodex/root etc..) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560117
thanks for the links.
now I can't mount the SD card. Maybe that's why it is stuck in the first place. I know I have run into this before but can't recall what I did to get it mounted.
A few more things you should know before I get into it. First off, this is my mother's phone, and about two days ago, she went to unplug and use her SGS4G after it had been charging overnight, and it wouldn't respond to the Power/Lock Button (It appeared simply stuck). So, naturally, she did a battery pull on it, and tried to turn it back on. After she hit the Power Button though, the Splash came up like it normally does, except instead of progressing with booting, the screen went black for a second and then went back to the Splash and it did/does this indefinitely (An obvious sign of a Bootloop).
Now. What doesn't make sense to me is that this was running the Stock ROM (I don't know if it was Froyo or Gingerbread), yet this still happened. I haven't tampered with the Phone at all, and my mother isn't too fond of the idea of Rooting, so unless the previous owner (Yes, it is a used phone) tampered with it and then restored it to Stock, then I have no idea.
Things I have tried:
Heimdall One-Click For Dummies (With and Without flashing Bootloaders)
Juls317's Noob Guide's "Potential Problems" section (With both Heimdall and ODIN)
A few Kernels (bhundven's Kernel, drhonk's KG4 Kernel)
sygee's ODIN/Heimdall Flashable ROM
hailthetheif's Step by Step Rooting Thread
Also, after I flash anything, whether it be with ODIN or Hiemdall Suite, or Hiemdall's One-Click, if I leave the phone plugged into the computer afterward, it will go to the Splash Screen and then to the Battery Screen (Which doesn't work, it just freezes with the Loading Wheel) and it'll Bootloop with the Battery Screen. If I unplug it after Flashing, it goes back to the classic Splash Bootloop that has been happening since Day 1. It doesn't even get past the Kernel.
I know that at least the Kernel and the Bootloaders can be Flashed however, by how they act on the Device. For example, if I flash certain Gingerbread Bootloaders, I can only get into Download Mode with PWR + VOL-, whereas on the Froyo Bootloader (Includes Stock), you use VOL+ + VOL-. With the Kernel, for example, if I flash a TeamAcid Kernel, their Logo comes up on the Splash Screen, but it still does the Splash Bootloop no matter what.
One final thing, if I flash a Kernel/ROM that includes a Recovery Mode, I can't access it at all (PWR + VOL+). I couldn't/can't access the Stock Recovery at all either.
One final thing, if I flash a Kernel/ROM that includes a Recovery Mode, I can't access it at all (PWR + VOL+). I couldn't/can't access the Stock Recovery at all either.
Pull the battery, hold power& both volumes, drop the battery back in. Should bring you to recovery (gb, not sure, can't remember froyo same or not). Wipe data & cache etc.
On the heimdell, awesome threads that you quoted. Follow directions and it should get you there. Kj6.. you may have to flash it twice to get the bootloaders for gb(it's setup that way so you can't fubar it without trying really hard). You would have to check the load boot loader box on second flash.
I just had this same exact issue. No matter what I flashed, it wouldn't work. Just kept with the boot loop. Now the difference with my issue was, I was still able to get into CWM and/or Download mode. (I was running custom rom). Heimdall wouldn't work for me because it was a driver issue. Odin, well, all the links I found for Odin were dead..
Anyway, when you're working with Heimdall, does it recognize your phone and flash? I had to flash it over twice for it to get to work. It is possible she was on Froyo and you're trying to flash it over with a GB stock rom could be causing an issue. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd say try sourcing a Heimdall to Stock Froyo ROM and see what happens from there.

It does recognize the phone, and it does Flash (As far as I know). I used Zadig, so there shouldn't be an Driver problems. I flashed it several times with a lot of different things, however, I just now flashed it twice with the Heimdall One-Click again to see if that made any difference. It did not. I'm still stuck in that Splash Bootloop.
Also, what did you mean by, "I'd say try sourcing a Heimdall to Stock Froyo ROM and see what happens from there."? I haven't ever seen that suggested anywhere, and I have no idea where I would find a Stock Froyo ROM that is flashable via Heimdall.
Able to get in to recovery and wipe? Wipe data & caches. Got cwm? Which one click? Eilleo(sorry for the spelling) put out a one click that was to be used as stepping stone to ics only.

I'm honestly not to sure if a Froyo ROM for Heimdall exists. I do believe seeing one for Odin, though. Not sure if that link is still alive. I'll see if I can find it again.
We do have a Froyo One-Click but if KJ6 One-Click is not working for him I do not know why you think the Froyo One-Click will.

I figured if the phone was still running on the Stock Froyo when this happened, that it may work as opposed to forcing the phone to accept a new ROM while it's still clashing with itself.
It's worth a shot at this point.

I hate to hijack this thread but it describes my current situation and symptoms perfectly and I never saw a conclusion / fix.....
I just got a used phone from ebay (verified SGH-T959V in battery compartment) and have run into the same exact problems described in the start of this posting. Phone was running Froyo and I attempted to upgrade to Gingerbread with Heimdall One-Clicks. I was actually successful at one point but then it crashed when I tried to install boot loaders to get rid of rainbow screen at startup.
Now all I ever get is a splash screen bootloop whenever I try any of the Heimdall One-Click gingerbread variants. I have also tried Odin and the Gremlin remover with same results of splash screen bootloop (Linda always completes). I was however able to access the new kernel CWM recovery and try to flash other gingerbread ROMs - splash screen bootloops on all attempts.
So I gave up on Gingerbread and tried using CWM recovery from gingerbread ROMS to install CM9 / CM10 / Slim Bean. I was able to upgrade almost perfectly but had same problem for each one of these. Not the bootloop thankfully but instead the headphone speaker (if that is the right description) doesn't work. No sound for phone touchpad, screen selections, and when receiving a phone call (have to switch to speaker phone as back/big speaker works or plugin headset to hear whoever was calling).
All of the other features were great but I really needed to be able to use my phone as a phone! The Heimdall One-Click worked to return me to Gingerbread with same problem of splash screen bootloop (gets to pink welcome letters every once in a while). Then I used the Heimdall One-Click for Froyo (as suggested by LiangChi) and got a perfectly working version of Froyo.
Used Froyo CWM recovery to switch to ICBINB ROM which works fairly decently.... Am I doomed to stay at Froyo though? I tried to follow all of the guides to a T but not sure what I might be doing wrong or if I might have purchased a damaged phone - can't recall ever testing camera and it still doesn't work on current stable Froyo. At various points I tried different cables, SD cards, USB ports, removing/reinstalling drivers, etc... Even tried Kies when I got back to stock Froyo to upgrade - went to Splash Screen Bootloop!
You have so much info here... let's see what we can figure out.

Ok... when you flash the "stock" rom... have you tried to wipe cache, data etc???
Are you letting it boot up before appling any of the kernels??

nope, it sounds like dirty flashes to me...
I would start with entering cwm and disabling lagfix & wiping data & caches.... linda needs to do her thing after the first boot up...
Then, I would reflash the germlin remover, If I remember correctly, you will have to do this twice (second time will allow you to check the add bootloaders)...
After the phone hits the think-pink, then you can battery dump, reenter download and flash the kernel.
Dirty Flashing
Champ - I think you might be on to something...haven't read about dirty flashing but it sounds right. I have been wiping data and caches (even tired reformatting system with a few roms). I do remember running into problems trying to following a few instructions sets that asked to disable the voodoo lagfix - hit option it just doesn't disable. After hitting disable see below Voodoo lagfix is actually: enabled next boot: disabled but even if I reboot back to CWM it is still enabled.
I might try the Odin Gremlin remover again. I was just getting frustrated after several days of failed upgrades. Second opinion on if it might be hardware/memory vs user error. I really didn't understand why even Kies (which everyone disparages) upgrade from stock Froyo also caused same loop.

Retry the gremlim remover. Redownload it incase of a bad download.
Lumin30 has a good guide in his signature for the heimdall one clicks.
I use Odin, I have used his one clicks without problems though.
