[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_at:
Hi guys,

Id like to run Android on my HTC HD2, so I think Im in the righ forum.

There are however some confusing points. I get confused with all those different abbreviations and programs. Could someone please clarify, what kind of programs we use, what the difference is and so on... I know that there are two ways: by SD card and internal rom... Whats better/the difference?

What does HSPL, CLK, NAND, MAGLDR and CWM stand for, why do I need those programs?

Dont worry: I've used the search function and read some tutorials, but they are all just for one particular way, and not the other... Id just liek to get the basics, so that I can then decide...

Thanks!

HSPL = When you bought your phone, it was showingspl. After you have unlocked you phone, it will show HSPL. This means that you can flash anything you want.. What hspl simply does is edit security_1 to security_0

CLK and MAGLDR - two different bootloaders. You need these to flash an android rom.

NAND - A "place" on your phone where android is saved.

CWM - Clockworkdmod, a "thing" that's needed to flash android (.zip's)

Tried to explain it in the easiest way, I hope it helped :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dexterxx:
Also try SD Android before playing with NAND version - you may just dislike it and you won't lose time spent on flash ;-)

SD Android is slower than nand version, but if you want android just for play angry birds etc. - would be enough. Great for beginners - you won't mess anything in device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_at:
Hey guys,

thanks that helped a lot, esp. the answer of yz.hd!

Additional questions:

1. Whats the difference between the bootloaders CLK and MAGLDR? Is one better? Do they have different prerequisits/uses?

2. I dont need CWM for all android ROMs, right? Just for special ones? Is there a program for other ROMs? Does CMW have a special advantage?

Thanks so much!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
1. MAGLDR allows you to have more control over how you boot your roms, it allowas you to run a Nand Android rom, or boot from sd, or boot a WP7 rom if you have it installed. It also allows you to boot to CWR (as well as play a kick ass game of tetris :cool:).

CLK gives more of a "stock" android experience as your phone will not have to boot MAGLDR first, when you turn it on it boots strait to Android just like a native phone. You can also reboot right to CWR and you can charge the phone while off which is something MAGLDR currently lacks.

2. If you are going to go Nand and are using CLK or the CWR is a must as all Android Nand roms are flashed this way. It also allows you to backup and restore your rom before making changes so you can go back right where you were if you make a mistake.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_at:
Ok, thanks again.

I believe Id like to flash Android (Ice Cream sandwich) to NAND. Using CLK. Also install CWM and CWR, for this nice recovery feature. :)

Could you point me to the newest/best versions of those programs for a clean install?

- Android ROM, ICS, without any additions like filemanager etc. if possible

- CLK

- CWM and CWR

Great help here, guys!

Cheers, the_at

PS: Also, I read something about not having enough space on the phone for apps. As I usually install apps (in WM 6.5) to SD anyway, this is not an issue for me. However, do I need something special in Android to install to SD or can I easily choose as in WM 6.5?

I did s-off, rooted and was doing the HC upgrade and I accidentally flashed hboot 6.14.5556 and now I am stuck at the white HTC screen. Before it flashed I had hboot 6.13.

View just keeps rebooting itself with HTC white screen. When I press volume down and power I can get into the Revolutionary screen with the options to fast boot etc. Tried to do fastboot setting and reflash the stock rom image. The rom flashed but still can't get past the HTC white screen. Do I need to somehow go back to hboot 6.13 to be able to boot? Not sure what to do here.

Hi,

I have a problem on my xperia mini pro: I was playing around with different versions of an app (CSipSimple) when suddenly the internal storage went completely full. I had about 180M free, and it went down to a couple of KB. I've uninstalled CSipSimple now, but it's still only 7M free.

How do I find out where the storage is gone? Installed Applications doesn't show any unusual app sizes, everything seems to be normal for the system, but I can't recover that space?

TIA,

Stefan

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abhishekcal:
dont worry if apps are working fine than there is no prob. the excess memory can be due to the cache that got cleared on rebooting ur phone.

I'm not worried at all, I just find it strange. I havent restarted phone for almost a month, so it's not because of that. I restarted it after I noticed that, I wanted to see if it's some bug or something, but it still shows me around 250mb.

To use the HTC tool to unlock the bootloader, your Desire HD should be updated to 3.x version. In the first page of the unlock tool in HTCDev, there are links to download the latest version RUU(according to you region) and instructions to update. You may try that.

Hi Everyone

I installed the MiniCM 7PRO on my X0 Mini pro a month ago,it runs great!but I realized that USB tethering was not working in that ROM. I see that there is a new ROM available here which resolves that issue. When I tried to install that ROM i got a message saying that "nAa Kernel has not been flashed" . I believe I may be missing some of the requirements. Is such a scenario possible at all?

Many thanks for the Custom ROM!It rocks!

I am using Sony Erricson Xperia Mini Pro from past 1 and a half year but today its touch screen suddenly stopped working. When I went to service center. It might be a software problem or a hardware problem. If software problem it will cost me 500rs in which they will reinstall android os. If hardware touch screen will be changed.

I just want to know if I can re-install my android at home, is there anyway I can do it without using my phone's touch screen?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] setite:
So I have good news. I have been e-mailing back and forth with a helpful ASUS Engineer for the past few hours. Gary Key put me in touch with him. Taking a cue from a comment the engineer made about pre-shipping and shipping versions of the hardware I sent the Engineer a photo of my label with Serial Number and all that fun stuff.

In previous posts I have speculated that I had a unit from the rumoured borked WiFi batch. You may recall some time back that one of the major reviewers got a bad WiFi review unit, and then was shipped a fixed WiFi version. Then a day or so later rumours of a production delay due to the WiFi issue arose. Then Amazon cancelled a bunch of orders that seemed to be all for the 32GB Grey version, the version I ordered, and the version I have. I had my suspicions and he confirmed them. I was shipped a unit that is of the "old HW". He is offering to exchange it. I plan to report as soon as I get a new unit.

This is bittersweet news for all of us with crappy Primes. I don't know if the version that was meant to ship has better GPS, but I know it is the version the Engineers say has no BT/WiFi issue. This means that an exchange should solve BT issues!!!

EDIT: I'm putting my part of my SN here for statistics.

TF201 Grey 32GB BBOKAS042XXX

BAD GPS

BAD WiFi

BAD BT

I urge others to list theirs. Perhaps we can determine bad batches. As I did, put the Color, Capacity and SN. Perhaps there are people who don't use BT who have one of the bad units who might want to exchange for the newer HW.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] federer:
mine is bcokaso22 My wifi works but as well as my 6 year olds original prime, and a lot worse than my old samsung 10.1.. Mine is gold, and I have 6 pixels that are lighter in color and only noticeable on light screens and I have light bleed on dark screens. I got my prime on the 22nd and have gps labeled on my box. So I will wait it out little while before I go for an RMA. Its hard to keep with all the complaints on the tablet I hope I dont miss the solution when one is finally reached. I do love my prime its sexy and runs well, just wish the wifi was a little stronger and my screen problems. Have not tested the bluetooth
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] setite:
Well here is information I sent to him today.

He had me test both my Transformers. Once with Wifi On and BT Off, and then With Wifi On and BT On/Paired/Playing a local MP3.

So in a bad unit you can see the problem. With BT Off the TF101 and TF201 are identical, TF201 even surpassing TF101 on occasion in my many many MANY speedtests. With BT On both devices suffer immensely but there is more to it. Not only does BT make the TF201 go from identical to performing at about 40% of the TF101, but the performance on the TF201 is degenerative. If I were to streaming music via Google Music or watching video with subsonic or Netflix, the speedtests would have gotten worse and worse until they failed altogether. Real world performance on the TF101 is transparent. I honestly never knew that BT hurt the TF101 performance so much because I never had reason to test it. If you have a bad TF201, using a bluetooth headset or any a2dp device, and streaming high quality video will show the problem within 5 minutes. Within 10-15 minutes your internet will fail altogether.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indomfp:
I don't know if I would want to post my serial number on the forum. Has Asus specifically stated which units have the old HW versus the new ones? If it is by the serial number they should be able to tell us which set of digits to look at to make sure we are affected or not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] just lou:
I don't know. Am I the only one not buying the ASUS claim that they already have an updated Prime designed, tested, and in production? The units started shipping less than a month ago, and they already have updated models fixing issues that just started popping up about 2 weeks ago?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] setite:
When you get time, please test the bluetooth. The issue is not poor WiFi performance. Though, the only time I use my WiFi at the outside of my routers performance is when I get home from work. I turn off tethering and switch to home WiFi while I am still in the driveway. I sometimes sit there streaming video for a few minutes while I pack everything back into my bag and prepare to get out of the car.

Basically I watch a video while I dismount my Garmin, windshield mount for phone, 12V cooler, etc. I deliver pizzas so my car is basically a mobile control center. With the TF101, the transition from tethering to home is fine. I just restart the video, track to where I was and continue watching. The TF201, night before last, worked for maybe two or 3 minutes before it started buffering more than it was playing. Granted this is with BT On and paired with my car stereo for the TF101, but for TF201 playing through the dinky speaker since BT turned on means no ability to watch video period.

Consider testing it if you have the hardware/software to do so. Teaching you to use subsonic can be troublesome. And Netflix, depending on the resilience of your home network might just lower the video quality repeatedly. In my testing it seems that any data load under 1000kbps won't completely trigger the fault that shuts wifi down completely.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] setite:
Well as I stated. Remember that there was a reviewer from one of the top sites that reported WiFi issues with their initial review unit. I think it was Anandtech. Then he was sent a second review unit that didn't have the issue. Anand reported the WiFi issue on December 1st. He followed up on December 15th.

Anand has been incredibly useful in these last months. He reported on the truth of the 4G signal of the Galaxy Nexus, and he was good about illustrating WiFi issues on the Prime as he saw fit. It seems that some of the early units slipped their collars and made it out into the wild.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] just lou:
True, but then why would ASUS ship the defective units if they knew they were defective, and had an updated version in the works that fixed all the issues? It just doesn't make sense, but who knows.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny80y:
I thought you were telling everybody yesterday to return their prime.... Also, reporting ASUS to the BBB....... but now your their best tester buddy????

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] setite:
It makes plenty of sense and none at all. It depends on what the problem is. If there are a batch of units that suffer from poor manufacturing, perhaps at the time they shipped them the scope of the problem wasn't clear. Maybe they figured out that my batch was bad after it shipped out.

There is also the possible case of the Right hand not knowing what the Left hand is up to. For example Gary Key, "Technical Marketing Manager, I spoke to also knew my serial number but never made any mention of different HW versions. But the engineer, who would obviously be more intimate with the issue figured it out almost immediately.

Either way two versions in the wild actually makes it very clear why there is such a large disparity in user reports. Some people say GPS/BT/WiFi are just fine while others, ME, are having show-stopping technical difficulties.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] setite:
Indeed I was singing a different tune yesterday. I have always been a tester though. I have been in contact with Gary Key for 8 days and as of yesterday I had gotten to the end of my rope. He was playing middleman between myself and ASUS Engineering and it was getting on my nerves. He wasn't as detailed as I would have liked and kept reporting that they were unable to reproduce the issue. As I know this issue is not an isolated incident I felt like I was getting fed a load of crap.

Today, technically yesterday, he finally just put me through to an Engineer directly who managed to figure the problem out in hours. The engineer gave me more detail than Gary was relaying, which allowed me to give the Engineer more information to get to the bottom of it. When the Engineer mentioned that the problem was not present in the current HW, but mentioned a previous revision that had the problem, I decided to send him my serial number.

"What we've got here is (a) failure to communicate". This is why I said in the OP that I would report back as soon as I get a replacement unit. If they send me part of the new stock and the problem is gone, then I will report that. If the problem still exists I will rage against the man some more :). To be fair I informed Gary the same time I posted that thread of my intentions. I am not yet rescinding my other thread. But I will add an update linking to this thread.
