[Q] new htc hdw wp7 need urgent help! plz!

@jackrabbit72380

1. HD2toolkit, and knowledge I possess... well from my use of the application (user experience), I've been able to flash task29, start from scratch. Fix boot loops by using task29 and flashing stock ROM.

2. Booting Android from 4gb sd card, using "back2future ROM" from XBmod & Yuki.... well my friend, as of yet that is not going to happen. The sd scard becomes encrypted and usable only by this particular ROM.

this is my phone info:

Name: HTC HD2

Model: HTC HD2

Software: Windows *Phone 7.5

Total Storage: 7.21 GB

Available storage: 4.69 GB

OS version: 7.10/7720.68

everything is working fine so far, I followed the instructions for this build, including flashing the stock ROM/magldr, etc......

3. I understand that if you want to use WP7 and Android, you have to use a compatible ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1157535

4. Then you will need to find the info on how to dual boot WP7 & Android. I used something from here

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735

hope this works for you...

AS of right now, I am currently using the "Back to the Future" ROM by XMbod & Yuki.

Now as for the flying the kite thing....you know great discoveries can happen when you do that.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robkazoe:
Maybe a basic solution but did you tried starting with an other card. First with a different provider, then a card from T-Mobile again (but not the same one you are using now!). Then you can check if your SIM is broken or bugged or that the slot isnt working.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jackrabbit72380:
i will try that and see if it works because i do have my sisters sim card i will post back the results!

Edit:yeah i cheacked her card and it wont work ither i called t-moble and thay say everythangs fine on thare end so im thinking i need to change my radio can anyone give me advice?

has anyone told you that talking to yourself is the first sign of madness? ;)

just kidding, well done for sorting it, if you are really desperate to get android and WP working together then you could install android to ANOTHER SD card, so when you want to swap OSs you just pop out the WP SD card an pop in the Android one.

To be honest, I filed my Android stuff in the recycle bin, after months on WP i can safely say i aint going backwards, but oh how much would i pay to get WM6.5 running of a SD card!!

:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dmonleo:
@dazz9075, I had that same thought about using a different sd card to run Android from magldr as the sd build. The only thing is having to Carry two different sd cards, a big hassle. Hopefully we will be able to dual boot like earlier releases....

okay well im sending my bricked htc hd2 off to get fixed buy a repair guy so thats underway but im trying to get help with another problum atm

my 16gb micro sd card!

so mango messed it up as described!

i read some lunix disto cn fix it?

can anyone point me to a fix for my micro sd card?

i tryed the falowing tutorial and it went from not being recognised at all to finaly being recognised but i still cant format it!

this tut helpd alittle but still im stuck i need to fix my sd card!

tut begin...

Ok here is how i fixed the fake 32gb micro sd card that i got off of ebay... do a google search for... "hp drive key boot utility" (the name of the exe after extracted is "hpdkbu.exe"(i have windows 7 and the utility would not install on my system if this is the case for you as well just click extract instead of install and run the exe that i just mentioned) hopefully you have a usb adapter... plug in the adapter run the utility select the drive letter for your micro sd that is in the usb mine was "e"... click next... then select create new or replace (its already checked) hit next... select hard drive(its already checked) hit next... select create new file system(its already checked) hit next... then it says something at the bottom then says formatting...

here is the weird part of the tutorial the program stops responding... dont sweat it just end task it... now go to my computer and look at your properties for the drive(should say 0 free 0 used)... now right click on the drive and select format... you will notice now that the capacity has changed to what it should be just format it and you are all set good luck and hope this tutorial helped...

tut end...

Okay so I've spent about 2 days tweaking my stock deodexed Rom to my liking and It's super fast and responsive. Faster scrolling and speed hacks. Quadrants in the 2000s. And much more. How do I take this Rom and zip it so other people can flash it if they want?

Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
packaging up a ROM is fairly simple.

for a ROM .zip there are a few main components:

1) *required* /system directory (contains all your ROM files)

2) *required* META-INF/com/google/android/ with two files, updater-script and update-binary. updater-script file instructs the update-binary on how to process/install your ROM. the custom recovery will look for these two files and execute them.

3) *optional* a kernel in the .zip to be flashed

hope that helps! good luck on publishing your ROM!
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
So could I just take a ROM and just change certain files and apps? And how do you make the Rom do cool stuff while flashing like spell your Rom name while it flashes? Sorry for all the questions but I appreciate ur help.

Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Usually, at least from what I know...

The more In depth stuff is done with the ROM Kitchen through a computer!
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
yes, you could take a ROM and only replace certain files / apps with the ones you've modified.

the ROM "cool stuff" while it flashes is all done in the updater-script file i mentioned in #2 of the required ROM files in my previous post above.

the ROM I maintan and publish for EVO 3D is 100% stock with root/su binary added, busybox and a bunch of linux arm developer binaries in /system/xbin.

my stock ROM would be a great base for you to start modifying and experimenting with!

1) swap out the apk/files in the .zip with the ones you've modified.

2) modify the updater-script file with your syntax

3) let us know how it goes!

[ROM] joeykrim-original-1.2.0 Odex *Stock Rooted 2.08.651.2* Aug 21st 2011

on windows, 7zip is a great GUI application for swap/editing files inside a .zip without having to extract the whole thing.

on linux, i'd just unzip the whole .zip to a directory and then swap out the files/edit the files in that directory, then zip up. also, i think ubuntu archive manager (default GUI for .zip files) lets you modify/edit files inside the .zip without having to extract the whole thing.

hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
Thanks a lot. So ill experiment with ur base. What is syntax?

Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
fancy word i used in place of code/text. you can open the updater-script inside of the .zip file with a text editor. the updater-script file uses the edify scripting language.

there are a lot of guides on how to use edify and what each phrase means. google the terms, "edify android guide" and there should be a bunch of results. one of the results which looks fairly decent - Edify Script Syntax Explained

hope that helps! good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:
Cool man! Good luck! Hope to see ya on the dev page.
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
Alright so progress is being made and its going very well. Only things Im stuck on now is:

1. How do I add certain apps like astro or ES file explorer WITHOUT putting them into the system/apps folder??

2. How do I change the background at boot so that its not the colorful flares that Sprint has on there.

3. How do I remove the 3D apps game apk?

Once I have those figured out I think my ROM will be ready for the public.:cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
1. android package manager monitors two locations for .apk files and will install them as soon as they appear in these two directories: /system/app and /data/app. if you want your rom to install .apk files to /data/app, you'll need to add the package_extract_dir command to your updater-script for /data and also create a data/app directory in the ROM zip file and put whatever apk files you want added in the data/app dir of the ROM zip file.

2. For Android boot animations the system looks in 3 locations in this order. 1) /data/local/bootanimation.zip, 2) /system/media/bootanimation.zip and 3) framework-res.apk . Since there are no bootanimation.zip files on our device, I'm assuming the sprint boot animation is stored in the framework-res.apk file. No worries, as placing any bootanimation file in either /data/local or /system/media will take priority over the Sprint animation in framework-res.apk.

3. 3D Games apk file is located here: /system/app/PGAWidget_HTCEvo3D_Sprint_v100.apk . Simply remove that apk file from /system/app inside the ROM .zip and it will not be loaded.

Let us know if you have any other questions. Hope that helps and good luck in the publishing!
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
Man you are the BOMB.COM!!!!

And for 2. I wasnt looking to replace the boot animation. I kinda like the Sprint one. I was trying to replace the actual wallpaper that the phone boots into. So at the home screen I can have my own wallpaper that I choose for my ROM.

Also for 1. Do I need to create a unmount script like the one for /system? Or do I just add the script you mentioned and that is it?

Thanks so much for your help man. I dont think I would have gotten this far without you!!
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Oh, I misunderstood for 2. For the actual wallpaper .. I did a few quick google searches and haven't come up with anything super helpful. Based on this blog post Appears there are two possible locations for the default wallpaper images to be stored, either in the Launcher.apk or in /system/frameworks/framework.jar. Unfortunately, I'm not able to experiment on the device and search more thoroughly. If nobody posts back a better answer I'll look into this tonight.

1. Yea, it would be best practice to mount data, package extract dir /data and then unmount data. You should be able to copy the mount/unmount commands used for system and change the mount points to data and for the mount command change the device point for data .. off the top of my head I think its one number higher, but not positive. cat /proc/partitions to see the exact device mount point.

Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
Helps a bunch!!! I will have to dig deeper because I tried flashing after creating those scripts and I got error 6 when trying to flash. Ill add the mount/unmount commands and see if that fixes it.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
To debug flashing errors while in the recovery, open adb shell and type:

cat /tmp/recovery.log

The recovery log has more details and usually the exact line of code where it failed. Feel free to paste this into pastebin and link up here, or paste into the thread and we can help troubleshoot.

Another step deeper into troubleshooting and debugging land of ROM development! Hope that helps!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pymusic:
So, I don't really post on forums because I'm pretty tech-savvy, but I have a big problem that I can't fix, and I can usually fix everything (thanks to you guys!)

This morning, my incredible acted up as I was checking an e-mail and it froze, so I decided to battery pull because restarting my phone didn't work. (Note, my incredible has been running VERY solidly on a CM7.1 nightly). As I tried to boot up the phone again, it would stay on the white HTC Incredible screen. When I rebooted into recovery thru HBOOT, i realized that there was an error mounting something, like recovery_log, or something like that (i didn't mind this because I thought I knew what I was doing), but I tried restoring my old nandroid backup that was working well, but it didn't work. It said it couldn't format /data or something... It ended up staying on the white HTC incredible screen. So, I wiped data/cache like 10 times, and dalvik cache as well and tried re-flashing a clean install of cm7.1 stable, but didn't work again - led me straight to the white Incredible screen. So, installing a fresh rom AND restoring a solid backup didn't work... so...

I found the RUU 2.3 stock rom on the development forums, and tried to install that like I do with the radios (PB31IMG.zip) through HBOOT, but no cigar. It did go PASSED the white screen, but boot loops at the Droid eye.

So, I thought I'd find a different stock img, and found the 2.2 official OTA .zip and installed it the same way, but got the exact same result (boot loops, forever).

Any suggestions? I can't think of anything else.... I feel like my phone is bricked, but I didn't do anything to make that happen.

I feel like something happened that made me not able to format the /data, and stuff. I even formatted my SDcard in case it was the problem.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Can you factory reset and flash a ROM from a different sd than the one you were using? Description sounds like bad sd, and AOSP roms interact with the sd on boot. If original (CM 7) sd is toast, it'll never boot, hence different sd card and prefably RUU
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I had this happen once where no matter what rom i flashed all i got was bootloops. I had to get the stock froyo ruu.exe that you run from your pc and install it that way. Then once installed boot up and go to settings/sd & phone storage and do a factory reset from there. This factory reset is a true reset as it wipes out vzw programing also. After reset folow on screen steps to reactivate your phone, you can skip the rest of the setup. Once thats done your good to go just flash clockwork or amon ra recovery and then flash what ever rom you want. No guarantees but it worked for me.

NOTE: This assumes you are s-off, if your not after flashing the ruu you will have to use unrevoked to regain root and s-off again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
You can also try wiping /system and /boot.
