Hey guys, I'm finally gonna flash GB, i know this ain't big news to any of you, but it is to me haha. So, i'm going to list the steps i'm going to take to flash it, these are according to the guides i've watched and read, but weren't specific enough to me. PREPARE TO READ.

By the way, my files are: KG4 leak by chadster, KG4 kernel with root&voodoo by Dr.Honk, and Valhalla ROM by Whitehawkx. PROPS TO THESE AWESOME DEVS!

1)Boot into recovery, and disable voodoo, reboot again to ensure re-conversion to rfs.

2)Boot into recovery again, this time go to: advanced>partition>create one with 2048(whatever that means? o_o)

3)Open up odin(I'm using 1.85), power off phone, Enter download mode, hold two volume keys, plug in USB.

4)Enter files according to file name.

PIT-Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit

PDA-CODE_T959VUVKG4_CL385158_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5

Phone-T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar.md5

CSC-SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5

(I've heard that re-partition checks itself on while entering the files, and that you should leave it on.)

5)DOUBLE CHECK, I don't wanna brick my phone!

6)HIT START! WOO, hope it'll work for me.

7)If the phone boots, you can let it boot up then Power Off it, or do a battery pull.

8)Hit reset on odin, then re-enter Download Mode, via instruction #3.

9)This time, click PDA, and find Dr.Honks KG4 kernel w/ root&voodoo that you downloaded.

10)HIT START! WOO!

11)This is confusing to me, as according to the guides and videos, YOU CAN battery pull when it boots or Power off after boot-up and enter Recovery by holding Volume keys and Power/Unlock simultaneously(which means at the same time) and release when it boots up. It should boot up into RED CWM, then i'll want to check mounts(OR SHOULD I WIPE EVERYTHING: DATA,CACHE,DAVLIK first?)and make sure that they're UMMU.

12)Go to the main screen of recovery, select zip from sd, select (INSERT ROM OF CHOICE HERE), I'm flashing valhalla, it's been a tough debate of audiophile FTW or that.

13)LET IT FLASH YO!

14)I should end up in recovery still, recheck mounts.

15)(NOT POSITIVE IF THIS'LL WORK, but I'm trying)Flash busyboxinstaller.zip from FB's starter guide thread.

16)After that's done, go to the voodoo section, enable it on next boot, then REBOOT.

17)PRAY THAT IT'LL CONVERT(DAMN WELL BETTER!)

18)If it booted up, and errrrthang's all good. I'll enjoy a cup of coffee and some GINGERBREAD.

Well, that wasn't too much was it?

Please comment to recorrect my errors or to say I'm good to go

, as this will be my way of flashing GB. I'll appreciate any feedback AS LONG AS I GET FEEDBACK.

P.S- I would love it if some devs would also help give me the green light.

Thanks awesome community!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bubba0677:
you don't need to use the pit file but every thing else looks good to me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Looks good flash away :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
sweet, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] malinowskiski:
Looks like you've done you're homework and you should be good.. Not sure but I think that newer roms don't need the mount unmounts, as was case for me and icbinb.. You should be good. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
They should just sticky this so that everyone one else flashing from froyo can just follow these directions
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
Backup your sdcard before you make that partition, or use a spare card.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lvnlegendinc:
I made the mistake of not backing it up and lost EVERYTHING lol

Question..... if per say u get a new phone and Odin the same GB release do u have to redo the whole partioning of the sd card again? even if u did it prior on ur other phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
Yeah, I've been reading up on GB ever since the KG4 leak, just been afraid to actually flash it, due to no experience with ODIN. This wasn't really supposed to be a guide, just a reassurance for me. But I don't mind people using it as one, I tried to make it as specific as possible. I appreciate the feedback guys, it makes me feel secure. LOL

P.S- I still haven't flashed it yet, I noticed my micro usb it fitting very loosely on my 4G, and since one mistake in ODIN can doom your phone, I'm extremely cautious. BUT I WANT GB! GAAAHHHHHH.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
Yeah, you will, unless you use the same micro sd that you partitioned EXT4 with, with your new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lvnlegendinc:
Got it... ya i did on my old phone and didnt want to go thru the headache again lol..... also..... if u had to re-flash ur phone from stock 2.2.1 what roms would u start with and what would be ur process?

I started with:

[Rom][ODIN] Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Deodexed + Root KF2

then Odin again:

[Kernel][GB] Stock Kernel + CWM + Voodoo EXT4 Lagfix

Am I doing it correctly or would u recommend otherwise?

((Sorry just making sure im up to date))
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
From stock 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 gb? I would use the same method in the op. But i would skip the voodoo steps in the begin because if i started from stock 2.2.1, all i would need to do is access download mode to odin kg4 leak. This is because it's easier to start without voodoo i think. And after flashing the kg4 kernel, you'll have voodoo recovery back. If linda wont convert, i guess you just repartition again. it's almost the same as the method i will use, someday... LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Lol...did you flash it/need help with anything?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
I don't think i need help, but if you find something faulty in my "guide", give me a heads up. And nope, i haven't flashed it yet lol. My damn cable is really loose and im scared that its defective and some data won't be transferred and you know what that means! A paperweight lol. I have everything i need(i think) and im really anxious to flash it, but the damn possibility of bricking is killing me haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Seriously you are scares for no reason it is very hard to hard brick so far only way is flashing the wrong bootloaders, if you pulled the cable while flashing you would still be fine, so ease up and joing the super smooth sgs4g on GB with us
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebla:
Hi XDA

Could any of you guys provide me with some advice on which rom to chose if I am looking for a fast sense rom. I have tried acesmod and found it to be rather slow on my Desire (maybe I am doing something wrong, but all in all the rom works just very slow).

I have heard great things about insert coin but I can’t figure out which one to install. So if you could throw in a link to the zip it would be great.

Thanks guys!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
The links are in each ROM's thread.

And always it is easier to ask other than read which one is for you - but everything is there in each ROM's thread.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebla:
I am asking due to the fact that there are several Inser Coin roms and I just wanted to know which one was the fastest. If you don’t like to help me with this than its ok, I am not forcing you to reply.

Besides I am have only tried 2 roms until now and is therefore rather new to this. So any help choosing a fast sense rom and providing a link for this is welcome.

I actually tried the [ROM][28/08][STABLE][Sense2.1+3.0 GB]InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.1.2 but couldn’t get it to work. When I tried to install (using alpharev) from sd after full wipe factory reste, cache wipe and dalvik it told me it was unable to install. I am S-Off and on CM7 HBOOT.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Did you meet all the requirements with SD partitions and download the CM7 hboot version of the rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebla:
I have a 1 GB 4 ext partition on my SD. But I actually had some problems finding the file. I could only seem to find one file when I visited the mirror???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its this link:

http://www.multiupload.com/O1LPYKVHIG

From this page:

http://insertcoinrom.blogspot.com/search/label/stable

The one that says CM7 in the title. The other wont fit.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebla:
I still get this

E:Can't open /sdcard/InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1_CM7_1.1.2.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted

What to do???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
try to download that again..maybe its a corrupted zip..u can check if its corrupted by trying to extract it, if it doesn't extract is corrupted
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebla:
I have tried to download from 3 different mirrors and I can't seem to find a not broken file?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Are you downloading via PC or phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebla:
PC

Win.rar is telling me somthing like "unexpected end of archive"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
May be a problem with the mirror / source then. May need to contact the dev...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistaliu:
When adding the file from your PC to your phone are you doing it with it on or in recovery? Whenever I tried to add a rom to my SD while in recovery it never worked.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
This is corrupting before even getting to the phone. Winrar on PC shows it is corrupt.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebla:
Yeah I think I will contact dev after trying the last couple of mirrors...

Thanks for the help though! Will return when I the dev gets back. Which rom are you guys running on your desire?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferencz1:
try AceSMod007, it's very fast and smooth :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
My own
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebla:
rootSU: Cool :)

I just spend the night downloading the instert coin again, and now it worked!!! And to top this I must say it is a very fast and nice piece of rom!

Don't know what happend with the broken files or anything, but now it seems to work... The only thing i find odd is that the rom is really fast, but I still only have something like 20 mb free on the internal storrage after installing a few apps? On acesmod 007 I had a lot more? Is this something to do with Data++ (what is this)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
data++ is an alternative hboot from alpharev that if you fastoot flash the data++ table, it changes your internal partition layout to be heavily in favour of the /data partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smhtc:
As you said you have CM7 (or cm7r2) hboot, you already have larger /data partition than data++ hboot.

You may backup the rom from recovery, and restart the phone. Then using ES file explorer (or any other) check the sizes of each .img file in the /sdcard/clockwerkmod/backup/ <backup folder of current rom>

It is possible that the roms use different amounts of sd-ext partition, so one rom uses more data partition than the other.

Anyway, you can also try the Gingerwally's rom with data++ hboot. It is just as fast as the stock htc rom, but with 100 MB more internal memory available!

Cheers!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah the cm7 version ships part of system to ext as its not going to fit in cm7 system
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebla:
Sorry for the late reply guys...

I think I get what you say. But right now I am down so no free space at all with no more than 10 apps or so installed. And I don't have the option to several of my apps to SD card. What could I do?

I have cm7 hboot (not data++, right?) and a 1 gb 4 ext partition.

Should I install some other hboot or what to do? Thanks once again.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lassito:
The source code for Desire (Bravo) Released under:

http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

Is this the right one to make gb roms without glitches?:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rick_1995:
None will know untill it is compiled and run.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Anthonayy:
ABOUT TIME! LEt's get this party started ladies and gentlemen! :D

I gotta feeling...that tonight's gonna be a good night.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] THANHVO31:
Good new! Wait and see.:p:p:p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] psylooooo:
Oh right baby good news ;)

Good luck to the devs :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ceylin45:
oooh good news

Good luck to the devs...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] djsolidsnake86:
the porting to hd2 is simple?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pyrorob:
um, hasn't the bravo code been out for months? i do believe we are waiting for the desire's GB source code..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] t0wlie:
Bravo is the codename for Desire?!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pyrorob:
actually now that you mention it i think so, but the htc dev site does list source codes for the desire and bravo..

edit: ah i see, there just playing games with the naming, they are the same.. well this is good!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ccwav:
I am go back to TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 and Waiting Everybody Good News.:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] anikolop:
Oups wrong post.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pyrorob:
yeah, if you look further back, the froyo and eclair sources were listed as desire, and the new one is listed as bravo.. so i guess thats just to confuse people :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tobiascrystal:
I so excite :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
not gonna get to excited untill one of the Devs confirm this is the one we have been waiting for
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Liar, i think you meant to say:

"I'm as excited as everyone else, but i'm saying nothing until one of the Devs confirm this is the one we have been waiting for." lol
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sudeep6258:
C'mon devs come and take a look..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pirlano:
yeaaaa!!! can't wait for a fully working GB Desire Sense build!!! :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] daeshawn:
If everyone else has seen it then i'm sure the devs have seen it lol...it IS exciting though lol
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
The difference between us and the devs is that we're excited and talking about it; and they'll be excited and doing something about it lol.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
So since the hd2 and the desire have the same hardware does that mean that the gingerbread builds will be more polished with the building of a new kernel off these sources or will it be about the same?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] psylooooo:
haha it's true, good luck devs and thank you again for your hard job !
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mzebrowski13:
I think that none of devs do not write anything about this news because everyone is working on update:)

Sent from my HD2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] casemandan:
Either that or its a sham :eek:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NeoS:
Temporarily stickied this thread, to make sure the devs find it.

Will be unstuck in a week or two. (or when I feel like it. ;))
[HD2 Android NAND Development] djsolidsnake86:
so any chance to see in future kernel 2.6.37-38 or the llast 2.6.40?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] stirkac:
don't get mislead by numbers, they mean nothing. we must first get .35 working as it is used on GB by google (and probably best compatible). later versions will only benefit us in Ice cream if it uses them.

:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] krook6023:
Thanks for jumping on this quick Neo...and since this is now stickied I have a suggestion.

This is not aimed at anyone specific... believe me I am NOT talking to you...this is a suggestion to anyone that may post in the future in this thread. May I suggest that us non-developers stop speculating and posting about how happy we are that this is released....that way when there are new posts in this thread they will be worth reading...because they will be...

...wait for it...

..wait for it...

...about DEVELOPMENT...from DEVS with insight. If we want to all post meaningless posts there is a place for that here but lets do it outside of the Development section.

Just a thought.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bartass127:
uhm, fourth restar, maybe now it will boot :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
if you dont know what im thinking or actually wanna say

then dont call me a liar

the only time to get excited about this release is

1.if it is actually what the Devs have been waiting for

and

2. when there is a rom released that it actually works on with no issues

and

3..i agree with what Krook said in fact i think all responces so far should be removed and this thread locked so only Devs can use it
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Ah, apologies; assumed SOH.

NVM, Signing off, will wait for further information.

Have fun Devs
[HD2 Android NAND Development] agormog:
Devs, do your magic we all love!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Imperial1:
Good Day for All....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AngelDeath:
I think we have confirmation by langthang:

[08.Sep.2011][MAG/cLK] NDT SENSE 3.0 PYRAMID BASED V6.0[Glitches fixed][HierOS 1.7.2]

Let the games begin! :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thesniffer:
Langthang just used haldric's fix for the glitches so it's not a benefit coming from the compilation of the bravo kernel :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AngelDeath:
Damn I got excited for nothing fml.

Sent from my Inspire 4G
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dipaolnv:
Lol, c'mon Angel no need for a fml... patience grashopper ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Godric8:
can someone explain to me what are the advantages of this source?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] czacha234:
Hi,

I have asked one of the kernel developers, if this gonna be helpful with developing 35. kernel for HD2. Here is his answer:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] skymera:
Argument invalid
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ph03n!x:
Why are you quoting what he said, and not who said it? :)

This is from Tytung's thread...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Anthonayy:
Are the Devs working on this kernel source? Or do none of them know how to decompile the kernel source for our HD2? (I certainly don't so I don't blame them) Maybe we should bring in a BIG NAME dev like imilka, I haven't been able to catch him on twitter lately, so someone should message him.

The Development for Sense seems quiet.

I heard glitches have been fixed, but with the expense of breaking weather and slowing the builds down.

I want to at least give this official kernel a shot before moving on.:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DannyBiker:
Patience !

Several fixes have been released lately for non-Sense Roms, new kernels have arrived, pongster and imilka passed by, etc. So things are definitely moving way more than at the beginning of the summer. I'm sure we'll get there...in time.

Until then : sit back, relax and enjoy your current rom.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonboyuk:
Couldn't agree more DannyBiker!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] playerxl:
X 2!

I think the only thing what we (testers/rom users) can do is wait till updates are posted.. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
I too agree the HD2 has had many blessings. This is just one of the many pages of a book with different stories. How phone owners can say that their phone can run win 6, wp7, android,and ubuntu at different times, and be able to dual boot their phone to their hearts desire. We are still on our first wife while our Beloved Hd2 is having multiple affairs. LOL. Be thankful for what you have access to which is alot. If no one developed for the HD2 you would still be stuck on windows 6. So be thankful.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] YZ:
This is really exiting news!

1. The hd2 never gets old!

2. Bigger chance for the hd2 to get 720p recording on android.

3. Our hd2's will be 100% androiish.. (isn't it already 100&?)

4. Cotulla will come out with magldr 1.14 soon.

5. Cotulla is also working on a new NAND rom for the hd2. Maybe he will implement some awesome features.

Time will show as always..

Htc Hd2 <3
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shorty1483:
magldr 2.0 :p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jcsy:
is that even confirmed?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmihai20:
Cotulla said something about it on his twitter page or in one of the forum posts.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sudeep6258:
cotulla said that on twitter.. See his feed just google cotulla twitter :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Anthonayy:
To DEVs:

Have any of you tried decompiling the Desire gingerbread source kernel yet?

Haldric, did you implement the kernel code into your graphic glitches fix?

I think the devs should give this kernel source code a shot before going back to haldric's fix; which doesn't solve camcorder problems, and breaks weather video. :D

Unless they already have...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] haldric:
my version 2 don't break weather videos
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmihai20:
He even replied to one of the maintainers of Pongster's ROMs HERE.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] YZ:
yeah ^^ :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cheech1976:
The question about Magldr 1.14 was on 24th August, the answer that in fact it would be 2.00 was on 28th August.

Since when exactly were the Desire source codes released? I´m not sure if this has anything to do at all with this source code.

I think this Magldr 2.00 may have to do more with WP7 than Android?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] YZ:
I agree. It may have some "android updates" in it, but the DFT team have been focusing more on windows than Android.

But, lets not forget that Cotulla will release a new android NAND rom for the hd2.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cheech1976:
Well maybe we can hope (or dare to hope :D ) for a similarly ground-breaking update as his 30th december nand rom was. (that was the very first nand-rom, right?)

In the meantime i must say i am very happy with what all the fellow cooks are providing, me myself i have at last found a rom which had all i wanted (and the "losses" like glitches and camcorder i can very well live with :D) and will stay with this one (and stop all this flashing-madness for a moment or two ;) )

Let´s see what the next weeks will bring :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonboyuk:
I can't imagine what version 2.0 might bring. As far as I'm aware, the MAGDLR's pretty perfect.....just as good as my gf's Desire. Hopefully it will bring one of the four -

- Perfectly stable PPP (data);

- 720p video;

- Ensure's that there are no graphics glitches in any future roms (although I realise this might just be kernel based because it seems to be fixed already);

- Charging while off.

I hate the wait! :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Surely MAGLDR can only bring - charging while off - out of those four
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mafioso:
I think possible new magdlr would include cold charging and rom manager support...720p camera is kernel/driver related nothing to do with magdlr..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] djsolidsnake86:
no news about this?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] arvis1234:
Download bug fix for glitches from haldric ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] calvinfoo:
Any Work on this?

Yes I know, but shouldnt the kernel source be the way to fix the glitches?

Used haldric's graphic fix, Lockscreen text became harder to read (Shadow problem),Stuttering Weather(Maybe only my rom), And somehow, I feel the rom have a sort of laggish feeling(Not really fast as before, but not really noticeable too)

Not really saying that it was bad, haldric still did a good job.

Still reverted without graphics fix and was blazing quick(Though annoying lines).

Someone please?

EDIT: Crt animation was also killed by the graphics fix. What happens is that the animation plays after the screen offs.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
i think this fix kills graphic acceleration
[HD2 Android NAND Development] KrewsialNL:
That s because it does ;-)

The only Rom that doesnt really suffer from applying the fix is the Bliss one for some reason :)
