[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DesignGrits:
Hello all. I just got a HTC HD2 from a friend. It has Windows running on it and then he put android 2.2. Well had gave it to me today and said that when he wiped the info on it today for some reason it wiped the bootloader and now instead of asking which OS I want to run when I start the phone it goes straight to Window. From there I have to manually go to the SDCard and launch it.

How do I fix this issue?

I want to put the Android OS on the Phone rather than the SDCard, is there a simple way to do this at the same time?

And I want to put a new rom anyways on the phone at some point. I rather have Gingerbread running on it, would there be an option to fix this all at once?

I understand the phone to a degree and how it works but rather new to how to do all this at once or in the right order, and what to look for.

ANY HELP WOULD BE AMAZING!!! I need to get this phone up and running by the end of the day. Thanks again.

How do I put the bootloader on my phone so it will auto go to android?

Or should I just do the "Flashing Your First HD2 NAND Android Rom"? I am assuming that this will redo everything my friend did and also put it on my NAND? And it will be the latest version?

I need more feedback guys, I don't want to brick the phone, in what order should I proceed?

Hey just click on my guide I have in my sig and read it as it will let you now more about the tools you need to flash a NAND Android ROM. I also have that guide that was linked for you linked at the top of my guide and another very good guide to installing Android to NAND that is posted at the top of the Portal as I gues you would call it a stickie for now as it has been there ever sense Gunjahman wrote it.

Also if you want to stay with a SD card Android build then check out this dual boot app.

Im so pissed right now, thats impossible to describe. or i am the unluckiest person in the world, or this glass is a ****.

Ok, i carried the phone in my pocket without screen protector for a month, no scrachs, but now, the FIRST TIME! the phone fell down.. from about 1 meter AT MOST, on a stone floor...

IT SMASHED IN ONE THOUSAND PIECES!

how can a 100gr phone have the power to in 1meter, smash an "almost" indestructible glass? what the **** was that?

if it was scrashed, if it EVEN got a damage on the screen, but one thousand pieces?

Not to mention that i got an Otterbox...

Well im now thinking in taking a new phone, gona fix this one first.

any sugestions of a better phone? dont say sgs2, needs to be now

thanks and sorry for the angry... if anyone wants i can post a pic of the totally **** it became

I agree with jamesd, it is like a windshield on a car, it will not shatter. Also, Gorilla glass is not indestructible, just much harder to scratch and break. go look at the website!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
You mean just for cost reasons? Its not indestructible, but theres no doubt its better than regular glass.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tg9413:
Cant be scrached doesnt mean it cant be shattered. It all depends on the material's physical property. Nexus s would be ur best bet for t mobile or vibrant 4g
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infestedd:
what about an desire hd?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
Gorilla Glass is much stronger than regular glass but is not unbreakable. It's strength also depends on how thick it is, which varies from one application to the next. If Samsung used a thinner layer either because of expense or to keep the device thinner, it may explain why these screens tend to shatter pretty easily. I will say that I've had my phone for 6 months, have never used a screen protector, and don't have a single scratch anywhere on the screen.

Dude get the nexus s, roms and over clocks are gonna be sick. plus they curved the screen a bit, so if it falls, the edges of the phone hit the floor instead of the screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adyscorpius:
Gorilla glass is scratch proof but not more resistant the breakage. And the fact that the glass is end to end, an impact on the side can travel to the side of the glass, where its most susceptible to breaking into pieces, like it happened to you...

I did throw my phone twice on the wall out of anger, didn't happen to my phone luckily... Ur drop must be a peculiar type directly at the weakest point... Silicon cases, ur best bet next time... I had one on when I threw the phone...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Dude, Gorilla glass is a mix-design that makes the glass surface very hard and the material 3 times more flexible than normal glass........BUT.... it still is glass and if you drop any glass and it hits just right .....the glass breaks. Since this type of glass is also a tempered variety when it breaks it shatters.

Me ? I have dropped my phone from 10 feet and nothing so, I ll chalk it up to you being lucky........or unlucky I should say............
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
You threw you vibrant not one but two times on the wall and still it survived while this guy only dropped it once and always kept it safe yet had it shatter to pieces with the first unfortunate accident.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
check me up on this, but the reason your ROM did not undergo its official update is probably because you have your hard SPL still installed? try re-installing your stock SPL and see if the update works. i have attached a thread with a video guide on how to go about it. numbers 4 and 5 should apply to you.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=497511

alternately, what you can do to avoid the SE update all together would be to install the R3A/B firmware. that is the firmware that the update provides, from an R2A/R1A. so installing an R3x firmware should be as good as the SE official update. you can get the R3x/R2x/R1x ROMs from this thread. my advice, go for the R3x ROM, so you dont have to waste time with the Sony Ericsson update.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alkaizer Lord:
OK, so I was sitting around playing with my iphone 3g and thinking about how they have openiboot with the dual boot set up for iOS and Droid. Then the idea came to me if it was possible to do this with the Atrix except be able to dual boot custom Droid OS or ever Custom & Factory.

Have any Devs attempted this and what would the possibility of having something like this operational?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] richhed:
Sorry, but, this isn't the right forum for this thread, should've posted in Atrix 4G General, as this is speculation... Or, in Atrix Q&A, as you are also positing a question, but (even though your question is ABOUT android development) this post doesn't exactly belong in the Development forum...

Edit:

BTW, good idea, except that it would require an exploit in the bootloader, and if we had that we'd already have custom roms. ;-)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ytwytw:
I guess you post on the wrong section~

[General Questions and Answers] fracmo2000:
Im unsure which phone to get, I was wanting the atrix but I know moto's locked bootloader causing problems and hate moto blur so maybe the lg x2...but then the samsung galaxy s2 looks better. What about hardware, which is beter orion with mali or tegra?

I also liked the idea of the webtop on the atrix, but that bootloader would mean no custom roms?

What about dev support etc?

Edit - With the ipad2 wiping the floor with tegra 2 (meaning the iphone 5 will have a similar setup) ...are these phones doa hardware wise?
[General Questions and Answers] souljaboy:
for now it seems like next round with similar performance of soc's will be apple a5 , qualcomm with adreno220 , and samsung orion when they get proper drivers . im not familiar with the texas instruments front but im sure they'll have something sooner or later . that said tegra 2 is a great deal behind all of these .

I'm not sure about the dev community for each phone but I'd pick the Atrix if AT&T ever unlocks the full speed it can go.

Are you sure on this? I thought the ipad2 destroys the xoom (tegra2)?

samsung galaxy s2

lg x2
[General Questions and Answers] fracmo2000:
I wanted to atrix originally (dual core, 1gb of ram! nice!) but I loved the idea of webtop...now I hear people have replaced webtop with ubuntu! Which would mean we could use not only firefox, but utorrent, nzbs etc! But, like I said before, the locked bootloader is a *****. Which, might be the reason a lot of chefs from xda (and I hear cyanogen) is getting the lg x2.

But i think da_g has an atrix, no love for sam gs2?
[General Questions and Answers] souljaboy:
thats what i said , tegra2 is left behind by those .. the humming bird wasnt so far off from tegra in the first place so it shouldnt be a wild guess to say its next gen samsung is better than it by a great deal
[General Questions and Answers] fracmo2000:
Ah sorry, I misread your post. I knew sammy made apples a4 chips, so their hummingbird was essentially the same except for a few minor tweaks and changes. However, is this the same this time round, with orion and a5? The orion has a two a9 cores, with a quadcore mali 400 gpu, apple has decided to stick with PowerVR and opted for a dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU.

I wonder which will come out on top? Too early to tell?
[General Questions and Answers] fracmo2000:
here is a some stuff on the galaxy s2

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4177/samsungs-galaxy-s-ii-preliminary-performance-mali400-benchmarked

i dont think its on a final unit or running 100% yet (on the GLBenchmark Egypt, a single core hummingbird beats the dual core orion). Im sure the flash thing will also be resolved at launch.
[General Questions and Answers] souljaboy:
with those two and the new snapdragon , id say they will be close enuff to let you choose by other features and personal brand preference

they did do this just not as public. i got eb13 the day it was pushed OTA but then they discontinued rollouts due to problems. its gonna be awhile before they come out with another good android phone with a keyboard IMO. i refuse to go HTC just because theyre starting to lock down their phones more and more as new models come out. no bueno. i just hope when the nexus s comes out for sprint there will be a quick port for us epic users. i dont plan on getting a new phone for a while. epic does everything i need it to do and some. and for those who complain about the dropped keys, IMPALER has a flashable zip on the development section which IMO completely irradicates the dropped keys issue. i text just as fast as i can type on a CPU and have had not 1 dropped key since.
[Epic 4G General] Pyperkub:
In your opinion as a dev, has Samsung's support of the Dev community gotten better in the past 2 months, and if so, do you think it will continue to improve, or fall back?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Personally I felt like Eb13 rocked. It was nice to have an official 2.2 even if it was a bit late. I believe they will release GB and as long as it doesn't have any major bugs that will be the end of official development for the Epic. If they do release Gingerbread in a reasonable time frame, my next phone will be a Galaxy S II. If not then I will be looking for an HTC or a Motorola. My next phone must have an unlocked bootloader or I will not buy.

To answer your question, yes I believe hit has gotten better but by how much I am not so sure.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
There's a difference between a locked bootloader and an encrypted bootloader.

HTC's phones have ALWAYS been NAND locked, once NAND was unlocked root was achieved. Moto is encrypting their bootloaders, they can't be unlocked without the encryption code.
[Epic 4G General] cvithlani:
+1

I think the problem is with Sprint, not with Samsung!
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I'm throwing out a theory here. I think the froyo disaster is heavily based on the fact that the Galaxy Series would be best served with Gingerbread, but as of release they couldn't be equipped with Gingerbread. They had Eclair solid at release date and decided to do so uniformly. They also had froyo code, but it's optimized for the HTC hardware it was designed on. The conversion to froyo was bigger than expected and involved moving and/or firing devs that couldn't deal with the change. Frantic motions are made across all Galaxy phones to get froyo out. Now Gingerbread development can be resumed, thus resumed silence. I really think it might be a combo of bad timing on release date and an inability to realize what that would mean in the market. I think Samsung is learning lessons more publicly than other companies are having to. I see people complain about problems with prior Moto and HTC updates, so I know Samsung is not alone in having issues.

Information for new nook partitions

B+N have made a change as to how they partition the internal storage space on the nook. New nooks are now shipping with new partitions and you can identify these as they have a blue sticker on the box.

Old partitions: 1GB for data (i.e. apps), 5GB for media (books/music/whatever else)

New partitions: 5GB for data, 1GB for media (if you need more media space you use your sdcard)

Clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 (released 6/5/11) is now able to flash roms on the new partition scheme, however you may prefer to restore the old partition method if you like more onboard space for your own files and don't need 5GB for data (apps)

Current options for installing CM7 on the newer partitioned nook are:

1) Just follow the guide above with cwm 3.2.0.1, keep 5GB /data and 1GB /media

2) Follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094371 to repartition your nook into the older 1GB data/5GB media, and then go back to the top and follow my guide. If you want to repartition using the .zips in DeanGibson's thread, you can flash them using the CWM SD you make in steps 1+2 of my guide above, then go on and flash CM7.
