if someone needs, just mention me
You choose what you want, as i can't seem to think of anything
here's one: "HD2 android expert"... now i don't know much about you, but you've ported sense 5 on it, but i don't know if you're a windows expert too hehe
I put "All round guru, Android and WM. HD24Ever team member", can change it if you want.You choose what you want, as i can't seem to think of anything
I have been trying to get resurrection remix to boot, but can't get past media process stopped, had a few reboots too. Frustrating isn't it
i would like to help too
i've tried many hd2 android roms, but i've never developed one...
i've also helped some users in other threads...
moreover my hd2 is not my "main" phone, so i can try different configurations if required

@lukes91 and @hitman1376 welcome to the HD2 Supporters club, and thanks for your support. If you want your messages-next-to-names changed, feel free to post them here.
We now have more supporters than questions, though that may change soon.:fingers-crossed:

, though that may change soon.:fingers-crossed:Thank you very much. Here's a relevant portion of the log up to the installation of the new ROM. Looks like this phone has some bad blocks. The other phone must be worse off. The current partition is 350M in size, I believe.
The latest I've read is that I should try adding an EXT4 partition to my SD card for swap / app data to help with stability?

Not sure that ext4 will help with the rom you are using (i think it is this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013852), and am confused as to why you would need 350Mb system partition for a gingerbread rom (OP says minimum 150Mb so i suggest 160Mb is ok)
Also, i think you posted the recovery log, not the dmesg.txt, but it does show bad blocks in system and in data partitions.
I assume you are using magldr, try getting the dmesg as i mentioned earlier.
Oops, just looked at dmsg. 4 bad blocks on this "worse" phone.
The larger partition size was from testing other ROMs in the past, 4.0+. I'm going to try a Cyanogen 4.4 ROM now, which was relatively smooth and stable on the other phone for a while--that one supports Ext4 and Swap partitions.

I would be wary of reflashing HSPL for now
first thing is to find and possibly mark your bad blocks, and adjust sizes of partitions.
Or try NativeSD/DataonEXT as you suggested with an ext4 sdcard partition.
Good luck
I have the block numbers, but how does one mark and not use them? From what I've read so far, only Windows installation removes bad blocks from use--not current Android installations.
I admit i am a bit confused by this, I thought android dealt with bad blocks. Will have to read up on it again, tomorrow
Goodnight Photoelectric, and happy flashing.

Just what I've read here:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25284969&postcount=285
I've done a task 29 and reflashed a 350M/45M Magldr recovery partition--the bad blocks are still all present and have the same numbers after installing a Cyanogen ROM now with data on EXT4. Hopefully I don't have to move entirely to SD.
Well ...
My Dear friend ... I'm not an expert ... but as I know this thread's first post can help you ( He is an expert :laugh: ) ... Exactly the things you said ( Bootloops - random reboots ,... ) ... So good luck ...

I'm not really experienced in the HD2, but isn't there a way to wipe everything like in fastboot using "fastboot wipe" commands?
won't that fix it? I'm just guessing here though

It won't fix bad nand blocks, those mothers are bad to the bone.
Task 29, superwipe etc won't fix either. Some people never do a task 29, tytung for instance never has. -pixelfreak- advises using superwipe. It is sometimes difficult to know what to do.

I believe those are just to clean up any residual "stuff" that doesn't get deleted and can interfere with new installations. I've only done Task 29 to reinstall Magldr. Superwipe does clean more than manual deleting of Data/Cache/Dalvik Cache before installing a ROM--the numbers prove it, so I do use Superwipe.
In any event, my current install on the "worse" phone has been holding up very well since yesterday, though it's a short time frame. I've done a fresh 350M/45M partition in Magldr (via HD2 toolkit) and put on a Cyanogen ROM with data on EXT4 and the rest on NAND. Amazingly no errors of applications crashing so far, which is usually pretty uncommon--at least *something* suddenly stops after installation. The bad blocks are all still there, of course, but either re-partitioning or moving data to EXT4 seems to be helping at least a bit.
----
UPDATE: still trouble
After a reboot, error messages from Google Play Services. Reboot into recovery, wipe Dalvik Cache-> everything resets completely and I have the "internal memory is full" error Now I'm trying to figure out how to make 2 EXT4 partitions to work on my SD card for DirectSD ROM installation, as partitioning on my computer does not make the second EXT4 visible to the phone. Trying this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47615553but unsuccessfully (can't install 4EXT4 Recovery yet, been trying to).
