No complaints from the phone about it being the incorrect battery the battery has been charged within/by the phone no external charger required. I got the 1500mah version from mobilefun I doubt it will give much more performance but will see.
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
After my first day of use I got around 11 hours of use before reaching 5%. Here are the usage statistics at 15%

https://picasaweb.google.com/105351366297036719015/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCJna6ZH6hLKxzQE

Wifi was on most of the time, I was using my phone for the usual things. Occasionally checking socialfeeds, engadget, xda every hour or so and internet browsing I played 10 minutes of angry bids. Updated some apps and downloaded a few new ones.

Overall not a significant increase in battery life maybe an hour or so more from what I am used to.

Hi,

Good post.

One question please:

"Take a look within the 07 – DAF-FLASH Folder and open the flash.cfg with a text editor. DON’T USE NOTEPAD FOR THIS!!! USE NOTEPAD++ or WORDPAD from Windows, but NOT NOTEPAD!!!"

Why not NOTEPAD?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dragonsuicida:
GREAT tutorial, very detailed... I have two questions. I have a t-mobile HTC HD2 witch i converted to android using Flashing Your First NAND Android Rom [For Newbs] everything works fine except sending picture message or receiving them. It brings a message that says generic network failure. I am using the T-mobile network with GSM/WCDMA auto option. Will this fix this problem? And second, will this install android to the SD card or to the phone itself? Thanks again...

Notepad might cause problems with the format of the file. Just good enough for look into some txt files but it will almost destroy linux format if you save the file.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MrT69:
I don't have a TMO HD2 so I can't give a feedback because of this.

But it could be that this might solve the problem. Not sure.

I still don't understand why this was happens at all. I have had the advantage that it was running before I shipped it for service. That was the reason why all the "little" issues drives me crazy. Everything was working before and after they have repaired my device just only some little things are not working.

From my point of view do a Windows Mobile installation and check if it's working to make sure the hardware is working. If this will work do the steps within this FAQ.

Let me know about your results...

Edit:

More and more strange things happens...

I'm able to run Android with MagLDR 1.13 but if the device is installed with cLK boot loader I'm not able to connect to the Internet.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
First off thanks for the guide as I know users will find it helpful, and I can tell you put alot of work into it. We need all the guides and tutorials we can get here as so many people have trouble converting their HD2 to Android. But I have a few things I want to point out to you so you can be aware of them if you are not. I mean absolutely no disrespect what so ever.

All you should have to do if you have this ROM is use HSPL 4 to flash HSPL 2.08 to your HD2 and then flash MAGLDR or cLK which ever one you want to use. Then flash either you ROM using option #5 USB Flasher of MAGLDR and the DAF for your ROM, or Clockwork Mod Recovery using option #5USB Flasher and the DAF for Clockwork Mod Recovery then your ROM via. zip file. If you wanted to use cLK just flash cLK and then manually flash either your ROM or Clockwork Mod Recovery via fastboot and the use of manual commands into command print of your computer. If you choose to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery just flash your ROM.

You don't really remove the bootloader as the bootloader is made up of a IPL and a SPL. The SPL can be modified, so when you flash HSPL or a different SPL all you are doing is modifying the SPL or changing the SPL. If you removed the bootloader you would brick your HD2.

Why HSPL 4 and HSPL 3? Why not just HSPL 4 as it has all the SPL versions except the SPL 3.10.0000 and it has all of the HSPL versions also.

You are correct that HSPL will not work with SPL 3.03.0000 or 3.10.0000 but HSPL 4 does.

Again you can use HSPL 4 to flash HSPL 2.08. Also only SPL has the four zeros, HSPL does not.

Ok this step is not needed. The only thing that is needed from this step is the 2.15.50.14 radio as MAGLDR has to have a 2.10.50.02 or 2.15.50.14 radio to work. So maybe this answers your question about you not knowing why.

Yes it is a good idea to run a Task 29 before installing MAGLDR or cLK. This tool wipes the current ROM and reformats the ROM partition of the NAND memory.

There is a few other things that you I see too such as you used the " Efp_v2_hd2_deshd_stock.zip" in your guide bit that is the name ofcthe ROM you used will not be the name of another ROM that someone else might use. SO you should just tell them to look forcthecnamecof the .zip file they downloadedcand copied to their SD card.

Also MAGLDR and cLK are both custom bootloaders madecto allow us HD2 owner to be abalecto boot Android from NAND. MAGLDR allowscus to boot Android and WP7 were as cLK only allows us to boot Android. Both of these bootloaders run I'm susseson of the original WinCe based bootloader that comes on the HD2 therefore theycarecstored in the ROM partition of the NAND memory. This is why you can not have MAGLDR and cLK at the same time because they both are stored in the same place.

Hope this helped you understand a little better. And again I mean no disrespect catcalled toward you, just trying to inform you is all.

Cheers
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fredplex:
....I have a hard time understanding either one ! :D

I have 2 Gtabs one running stock TNT (4349) with Roebeet's Market Prototype and the 2nd running VeganTab GingerEdition RC1.

I use the same google account for both tabs as I want to share apps that I bought. Both tabs run pretty good wrt the market. With the stock gtab I see less apps then I do with the Vegan tab but overall very cool. The problem is that I only ever see 1 of the tabs on the web Market in:

My Market Account -> Settings (My Devices)

It seems like the last tab that contacted the market is the one you see in My Devices. I never see both my tabs listed.

Each tab has very different characteristics for Maker, Model, ro.build.fingerprint among other things. I always give my devices a Nickname on market and make then visible. So this is not making any sense to me and is driving me crazy, I have to shut down one tab, sync with market on the other tab for it to show up and visa-versa.

Anyhow know what could be happening here?

Thanks...

Fool proof way to install 4349:

The reason there are so many steps is that they are broken down so that each step is basically one menu action. Follow EVERY step. Yes there are easier ways, this way ensures that your tablet is absolutly stock and wiped of all traces of other roms.

What you need:

1. A g Tablet with CWM 0.8 recovery (doesn't matter what ROM)

2. A stock 3588 image renamed to 'stock3588update.zip' (http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/update-smb_a1002-3588-user.zip)

3. A stock 4349 image renamed to 'update.zip' (http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/update-smb_a1002-4349-user.zip)

4. A folder called recovery with a file in it called COMMAND inside it with the following line of text:

--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip

4. Calkulin's Format_all.zip (attached here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11946224&postcount=1)

Step 1: Ensure there is nothing on your g tablet you want. NOTHING!

Step 2: Boot to CWM recovery with Pwr and Vol+

Step 3: Go to the "mounts and storage" menu

Step 4: Choose "mount USB storage"

Step 5: Confirm there is nothing you want to save on your SD card. If there is anything you want, save it now.

Step 6: "Unmount" and go back to the main CWM Recover Menu

Step 7: Choose "advanced"

Step 8: Choose "Partition SD Card"

Step 9: Choose 2048M for Ext size

Step 10: Choose 0M for swap size

Step 11: Watch it Partioning SD Card, then when complete once again mount USB storage as in steps 3/4

Step 12: Load onto the SD Card: Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.zip, stock3588update.zip, update.zip (this is the 4349 file), the recovery folder with the command file inside it. Your Sdcard should look like the attached screen grab.

Step 13: Unmount and return to main menu of CWM.

Step 14: Choose "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard" and select "Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.zip"

Step 15: Proceed with the install, once finish select "choose zip from sdcard" and select "stock3588update.zip"

Step 16: Once it completes, go to the CWM recovery main menu then power off with the power button.

Step 17: Boot up into recovery with PWR and Vol+. This will initiate the 4349 install using the stock recovery.

Step 18: Watch your tablet boot into a bone stock 4349 rom.

An optional starting point for this is to use nvflash (back to stock recovery or CWM recovery) to repartition everything first to make fully sure all partitions are as they should be.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Nice! Well laid out with clear steps. I 100% agree that the cleaner your device is, the more likely that the 4349 upgrade will succeed. On clean 3588 stock, I've had about a 90% success rate, at least (but I have had a few soft-bricks too).

Going to work on 3588 nvflash today - need to test it out as I think we all really need it, at this point.
[G Tablet General] LisaBham:
Just one question for clairifacation.. on the command line of text. Should it have the have the apostrophy and the beginning and end or not?
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
No, corrected. Thanks.
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
Just to post a bit of an update:

It is pretty easy to get rooted with z4root. The permanent option works. Also, installing the amazon marketplace was no problem. I actually like this setup better than google market because it stores all the free apps you download as well as the paid ones.

Additionally, the google apps (download from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps get the ones for tegra on CM6) from CM6 were easy to install with the standard recovery. Looks like this latest stock version is pretty decent overall.
[G Tablet General] mstevens:
The biggest problem with the Amazon Appstore for Android is that it has far, far fewer apps than the Google Android Market. A large majority of the applications that I require (indeed, what I bought the tablet to run in the first place) are only available through the Google Android Market.
[G Tablet General] tsg2513:
Followed step by step and everything seemed to go well until I tried to restart after the upgrade....nothing but a black back-lit screen. Tried resetting/factory reset, tried clearing cache, nothing. Had to NVFlash back to 3588 and tried to see if there was an OTA update but it says I am up to date with 3588. Then tried to manually install the 4349 update.zip which appeared to go through but again, same black screen afterwards. Very frustrating.
[G Tablet General] jason1332:
Sounds like you were stuck in apx mode. Lucky you were able to boot at all!
[G Tablet General] tsg2513:
Could be, but I don't think so. I got through the 3 birds screen then the g-tablet screen before it went black so I don't think I was in apx. I guess I will just wait until VS pushes the OTA Update again.
[G Tablet General] ideaman:

[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
I'd like to make a formal request that this guide be stickied?

Many people have been wanting to flash the HC rom, and this is the best guide I've found (used it myself) to safely, and efficiently get to the 1.2 bootloader and stock recovery in update 4349.

It does not instruct anyone, or link to Roms on other forums, just provides them with the information to reach a foundation to where they can use 1.2 based bootloader roms. We can't ignore that it's an important catagory of users.
[G Tablet General] jcflman:
At that time this was a good way to do it. Now, you can NVFLASH 4349 in a few minutes. Then when you reboot wipe data/cache.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
regardless, there isn't a stickied guide on safely getting to 1.2 from out of the box setup...this is the most comprehensive one I've found for a brand new user that doesn't have any experience with nvflash (I still don't) or even flashing a rom. I've answered 2 questions today from people that basically just opened the box and were wondering how to get to 1.2 from stock. or wanted a link to a stock rom/recovery image. I haven't found any other posts that have a stock 3588 or stock 4349 files link in it. This post does, without even going into the roms available for the 1.2 bootloader.
[G Tablet General] qynt:
Thanks ramerco. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I am still relatively new to the G-Tab and ROMS and need more details, which you have provided. I've been looking for "detailed" steps to get to 4349 along with 1.2 boot loader since I want to try roebeet's HC.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
I'd like ot bump this, and request again, that this post be stickied. More and more people are having issues when flashign from 1.1 to 1.2 roms, and THIS GUIDE is the SAFEST and MOST COMPREHENSIVE guide on how to go from 1.1 to 1.2.

Yes, it may be quicker to NVFlash as much as you possibly want, but I'll bet that if you found every post about a softbricked G-Tablet, the user was trying to NVFlash something...

It seems to me at this point, that developers are NVFlashing everything nowadays..that's fine, becuase most of them know how ot recover from it. Typical USERS, though, do not, and end up making their situation worse. WE NEED TO PREVENT PROBLEMS, so using standard recoveries, or CWM over NVFlash is the safest way to do it. I have no problem learning NVFlash to recover from a softbrick, but I'll be damned if learning it and using it CAUSES a softbrick becuase I have no idea what I'm doing.

PLEASE Sticky this thread, and clean up some other stickies that are no longer needed. For instance, Jerdog's "One and only Honeycomb" thread...not necessary anymore, since the reality he predicted wouldn't happen, has.
[G Tablet General] novicexda:
how do you create file

I am really new at this. So how to you do this step?

4. A folder called recovery with a file in it called COMMAND inside it with the following line of text:

--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip

What is the step-by-step process for this? I know how to create a folder, but I dont know how to create the file with the code. Can someone help me with this. Thanks I have Windows 7 if that matters.
[G Tablet General] jcflman:
You might have a copy of the recovery folder with command file on your pc where you unzipped the cwmod_internal.zip unless you moved it to your G Tablet instead of copying. You could always unzip the cwmod_internal.zip file again to pull the recovery folder from it. Anyway, to answer your question...

To create a file just open the recovery folder you just created then right-click > new > text document. Put the code "--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip" without the quotes & save the document as command. It shouldn't have a file extension like command.txt just command only.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
Bumping becuase people keep asking. Would be nice if this could get stickied...
[G Tablet General] mattbooty:
Probably a stupid question, but when you are referring to the sdcard is it the external or internal sd card? And if it is the internal, what is the best way for this process to copy the files required over to the internal sd card in step 12? I'm guessing at this point the tablet will not be bootable so i can't just plug it into my PC and mount the drive.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
all of the prior steps are to prepare everything for the process. You haven't actually flashed anything before step 12. you should be able to mount your USB in CWM to access the root of the internal SD card, where the files get copied to.
[G Tablet General] mattbooty:
Awesome, thanks for the response.... if I have previously partitioned to the 2048/0 recommended here do I need to do that again or should I be OK to move on without it?
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
I honestly don't know what would happen if you don't do it (probably nothing) but it only takes a couple seconds, and certainly can't hurt if you do it.

My personal philosophy, the more strict you are with following directions, the less likely you are to be coming back here saying "I followed these instructions but now I'm bootlooping on the birds"

This process from startto finish followed exactly will get you to your desired result...it worked for me, and I didn't skip one step or make one shortcut using NVFlash, etc.
[G Tablet General] mattbooty:
Good call. I'll follow the direction step by step just to be safe. Thanks!

[G Tablet General] Mantara:
This is the only Roe approved method besides nvflash. I'm doing this tonight.

Now that nertflix sh¡t the bed for cm7 and the nightlys are not releasing untilled the compiler issue is fixed I have no reason to not start testing out 1.2 roms.
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
Didn't realize this guide came back from the dead. I agree that this would be a useful sticky.

If you have the right nvflash files, it is easier to just nvflash 4349 and then the 1.2 friendly CWM or whatever 1.2 rom you want. From a 1.2 friendly version of CWM you can even flash 1.1 roms and then a 1.2 kernel (Clem and pershoot both have them) and be on a 1.1 rom with the new bl. I am running that way now on aosp. Just be sure to flash the 1.2 kernel immediately after you flash the rom, before you reboot.

The method outlined in the OP is still a good way to get to 1.2 from any gtab and have as unmodified as possible of a base to work from. I still do this process when changing to a different OS rom (ie going from Froyo to GB to HC)

Bumping an old thread but i am stuck like a rock. I'm stuck at step 15, everytime i try to run the stock3588update.zip from the sdcard it says "cant open zip file .. (bad), install aborted".

I'm thinking maybe the zip is corrupted or something, does anyone have any alternatives zip's or idea's to help with this upgrade??

Solved: seems to have been a bad zip file, god knows how. I solved it by downloading one from google and then starting the process all over again, hope this works as it isnt done installing yet :)

Great tutorial for BL 1.1 to 1.2

Great Post, extremely helpful and worked flawlessley.

It did take a second attempt for the tablet to update to BL 1.2 due to the fact that my COMMAND file was a txt file. Remove the file extension, if you have COMMAND.txt then you will be stuck on BL 1.1 3588

My other hangup was having to use Stock Recovery to install the ROM (Flashback a5.4) but it worked perfectly so my anxiety was for not. Can you carry this thread a little farther and make a recommendation on if/what version of CWM we should use with BL 1.2 as this is likely the first encouter with 1.2 for anyone using this thread.
