RE

Hello,

I had the same problem.

You have to use the new bootloader.

Thanks to Schlund for his good work.

I hope to see a new version soon with good battery driver and good audio routing by bluetooth ;)

See you soon.

i downloaded liberated-photon_sense-2.2_signed.zip and installed it clean without any luck :( it frezz at booting :( any idea?

Yeah, wait for instruction from Schlund.
[HD Mini Android Development] LingLOng:
Ok, this will be hard but i have to patient :)
[HD Mini Android Development] rirozizo:
i'm having trouble booting this ROM from sdcard (i can't NAND boot it... my dad doesn't want that).

it hangs in the "booting linux" loading screen... i waited for about 24minutes... nothing.

i'm expecting it could be a bad download, can you please give me the checksum info of the sd pack zip file?
[HD Mini Android Development] ntkhoa:
For some reason the Wifi is not working for me even I used the latest build update-kernel-r11.zip
[HD Mini Android Development] acrocosm:
...I haven't managed to get the time to attempt it yet with work and everything. Ummm, anyone managed to flash it successfully? Dare I ask about the sound quality, with it being a suggestively proper liberty port? ...or I risk becoming the picturesque idiot of the party? ^_________^

Oh, darn you old.splatterhand! You shouldn't spread excitement like that!!!
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
If we don't say, that we have hope for a new, stable release, maybe the OP think that nobody is interested...

You don't need to flash, it will not work without schlund.
[HD Mini Android Development] rirozizo:
still can't get it to boot from sd

Hi,

did you try another SD Card?
[HD Mini Android Development] rirozizo:
not yet, but will do

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[HD Mini Android Development] kamnnka:
This topic is about the rom and not the SD card version that is installed on the SD card.

It was posted before that all/most efforts are invested on the NAND version and not on the "sd card" version.

Since the NAND versions has small number of bugs (3g is not stable, BT driver is faulty, no voice commands/search and no video capture).

Except that this release is GOOD.

The android advantages are well known, it is up to you to decide what to do next.

Good luck with any decision you take.

this night I had a dream that Schlund is working hard on this :D
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Ha, ha, ha your dreams are funny... :good: :laugh:
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
I hope so much that your dream come true ....:victory:

What do you think Schlund ... ... ...:o
[HD Mini Android Development] acrocosm:
On the contrary, I actually hope he's not working hard at all. I hope he's done and are just a few things left to check/fix/do, that are easy enough but just can't wrap himself to spend that afternoon, because he's just plainly lazy to waste his valuable free time on that, after a long day of work or whatever. Just a long afternoon's work left that eventually will come. I hope it's that simple and easy ^________^

Hello Friends

i could'n find FM radio analog app (not internet). anyone has it? i tried some from markret but it not suitable for this ROM (htc hd mini).

thank you.

2 questions

Hi,

* Have anyone tried youtube videos? In my device the video is gleeching every second, the audio in youtube works fine. Video streaming which run using the built in media player run smooth.

* Now that I'm pretty satisfied from the rom and the updates, is there a way to backup everything to a file? (Including all installation that are on the device rom, but not including the SD card memory)

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

The BT problem is known. The driver is not stable. Audio (like music) works but not conversations.
[HD Mini Android Development] Stone.Beisser:
Hi kamnnka,

you can use CWM Recovery to backup the Rom and everything. Press and hold Volume up then start the Phone...the same like when you installed the Rom. There you should find a entry Backup und Recovery.

Greetings

Stone
[HD Mini Android Development] kamnnka:
and then I can try and install any rom, try it and go back to my backed up rom again?

(i.e. I have this photonic rom 2.6.35, I make a backup as you said. then I install another rom (lets say photonic 2.X..., try it, and restart my device and go back to this photonic rom 2.6.35 exactly as it was?)

Can I get to the backup file and store it on my PC as backup?

THANKS!
[HD Mini Android Development] rirozizo:
answering your questions:

you make a backup from recovery.

the backup is located in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ the whole folder there is your backup, that you can store it on PC.

you flash another rom to test.

you won't like the other rom.

you put back the backup folder.

you go to recovery and restore the backup.

reboot.

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[HD Mini Android Development] kamnnka:

[HD Mini Android Development] lupoalberto74:
nothing is known about the development of this rom?:(

@ Schlund

It's a long time since you don't read on the forum. Can you tell us about what you're working on in addition to your academic commitments?

I know, as you say that you have to have patience but ..... ..... I'm hoping for an answer that would be appreciated by all of us.

Also awaiting CM9 stable. The CM7 has problems just by bluetooth and battery.

I hope it's soon. But back to WM because the battery had a short duration. Carried at night and the next morning was 54%.

ERROR: Could not do normal boot. Reverting to fastboot mode.

Somebody who know with linux and android, please HELP ME. I am newbie in this stuff. :o
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
georgedr72, first it seems you didn't installed the Recovery correctly, either because of bad SDCard or you should try again..

Please try again, these texts are normal because of bad installation.
[HD Mini Android Development] georgedr72:
I repeat the whole process at least 10 times. I don' t understant what can i meake wrong, because is an automatic process. Every time the procedure ending only with "ok" (writing boot and ... the other).

so, in the future, we can install all roms that are for liberty on photon? :confused:
[HD Mini Android Development] Abdulla_91:
OMG !! it is playing a HQ video ... that is really cool :D

@schlund did the headset stereo working now ?

and we used to install android roms with usual methods , but can we do as u did (with wires ?) , is it safe and easy ?

we are waiting your instructions please make it faster , you are the best

we wish you the good luck schlund ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
Great! :victory: Schlund Thanks for your hard work..

What I see you have done, this can play videos 360p perfectly.. or maybe UHD 4K videos! :p

but I'm sure it plays 360p, what about 480p, 720p, 1080p :laugh:

What I'm Interested to be is Android 4.1.2 or CM10 Stable, Full Optimized GPU (videos games and Full HD 1080p), nice Audio with Stereo, Microphone cleanly fixed (which that caused bluetooth don't work for cars), More Battery Life, ARMv7 support (which is dream :silly:). :angel:

Nice, & we're ready to help and test :cool:
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
i decided not to answer your questions, i want to give you those answers by posting pictures and videos ;)

well, i could be a bit complicated to demonstrate you stereo headset in videos or pictures .. so i will answer this question: yes, its working ;)

Schlund , when are you going to finish this project?

i can't wait, i am checking the thread every few minutes to see if you put the links

is it support arabic (just read/write messegs) i don't mean fully support ?

thank you, Good luck
[HD Mini Android Development] rirozizo:
if it's not ICS, and not CM, it doesn't support arabic.
[HD Mini Android Development] Abdulla_91:
that is too bad :(

anyway i'll look for any solution,

thank u for replay

abdulla
[HD Mini Android Development] rirozizo:
i'm from lebanon :D so i want arabic on it too, i hope Schlund makes his ROM Sense and arabic support (maybe from a middle eastern Sense ROM?)
[HD Mini Android Development] Abdulla_91:
i'm from Damascus, you're my neighborhood. :D

i hope so :)
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
"More than that" :laugh: More than HTC Aria/Gratia! I mean more powerful than HTC Aria/Gratia.. :cyclops: And even more of that!

now, I see you recorded 4:3 640x480, And can it record at 16:9 640x360? or it's dream to record at 720p?

but let us see the Battery Life... How can your Photon handle the Battery Life? :rolleyes:
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Hey Schlund, you let us suffer a long time...

Weekend woul be a good time for flashing
[HD Mini Android Development] kowal248:

[HD Mini Android Development] MobileMini:
It would be really nice if Schlund would give us some info about a possible release date:angel:!

:victory:
[HD Mini Android Development] JohnLaShot:
Even if schlund's ROM is "only" as good as Aria/Gratia it obviously will be better than every other android rom for photon so far.

I'am really looking forward to testing the new ROM.

John
[HD Mini Android Development] Abdulla_91:
hey schlund

please man tell us when you are going to give us the link to try this fantastic rom :cool:

i hope this rom will be the first stable rom for our hd mini :angel: :angel: :angel:.
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
OMG OMG greattttttttttt job Schlund :victory:

seems you gonna save me from buying other phone lol:D
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
Guys, anyone asking for a link to a working rom... Did you notice WIRES sticking out of schlund's phone and someone mentioning JTAG?

The question is NOT when you get the rom!!! My question to schlund would be: What information did you gather by working out s-off on photon and does hboot 'roll back' or not? Most important question is whether he knows enough to access s-off without connecting JTAG interface.

That means if we will EVER be able to install hacked firmware without flashing through factory/service hardware debugging interface.

Hope to hear some technical details from schlund. Well done on this :good:
[HD Mini Android Development] makis11111:
FLaSH Device

My device has stopped working, It starts and the green letters appear but it freezes !!!! :(

When i try to enter either that fastboot or reovery mode still the screen freezes for hours !!!

Does anybody knows how can i flash my device ??

* itried to run the start-photonic app from my PC but still cannot send the packet data to my phone ,
[HD Mini Android Development] MobileMini:
I think you are right. Thats why we asked schlund for some more info about his progress on this project. Until now he has not given us any information about if and when he can release a fully working rom for the HD Mini. I am wondering why the information is so scarce (busy with work etc :))...? Of course it is his choice if he wants to provide us with info, and we should respect that. On the other hand I think many owners of the HD Mini are thinking about buying a new phone. The userbase is getting smaller and smaller, so my question to schlund is: do you have any idea of when and if you can provide us with a fully working rom or should we move on to a new phone?

And above all, respect to you for your work you already have done for this community!
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
Did you managed to install complete Aria dump without jtag?
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
I know Schlund, there is not much i/we can do because of limited knowledge, but if there is anything we can help you to finish this project, please let us know!
[HD Mini Android Development] peter08po:
wouldn't it be possible to use htc sync if photon is "liberated"? ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
I think "liberated" is possible only with jtag ;) ...there is no other way for overwriting photon radio and spl!
[HD Mini Android Development] ericsonicsson:
And what about jtag "liberation" for everyone?

I'm good at fine electronic soldering :)
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
the "liberated" image is ready, i have spent my spare time from the last weeks with it, to see if its worth finding a way to do it.

Now i am at a point where i can say: Yes it is possible!

for explanation how it works:

we have 2 cores in our chipset, with each running a system on it.

Arm9 core, running iguana rtos, that you do not notice as casual user, and

Arm11 core, that is running wm/android, all the stuff you see on your display

system is going up with 2 generic bootloaders by qualcomm, that bring up the hardware, first thing that happens, done by htc is "oemsbl" bootloader, running on arm9. that one loads amss (iguana) from nand to ram on arm9,it is doing everything with the modem and phone i.e.. amss is running on nand in a special efs partition. (we can not overwrite this one while the device is running, but we also dont need to). oemsbl also inits appspl (our SPL-Bootloader) on arm11. since here arm9 and arm11 have several interfaces to communicate with each other. we are lucky, most things are done via shared memory. SPL (appspl) starts the os then.

so, what we want to do is flashing a different appspl, oemsbl and amss now, also we have to change the layout of htc partition.

is that possible? YES

we are lucky, the partitionlayout of these partitions are the same, so once they are loaded from nand to memory (except efs) we can change them while system is running.

of course, this is a very risky procedure, as it is always when flashing spl and radio but its possible.

what holds me back now ? the parts on nand we want to overwrite are locked. its my job now to find a way to unlock them, but the people that are involved in my work know, i am having good progress and i am very close ;)

when will there be a release ? thats hard to say, ones unlocked, theres not much to do anymore, have to write a flash tool for DAU's, an other tool for copying your serials, imei's & mac's is already finished. also the first 2 android versions are finished now.

will it be a "real" aria ? It will tell you so, but it's not. there are minor hardware differences that i had to fix in kernel & systems. but in general its possible to boot every aria release (with several things not working)

are there any bugs left ? NO
[HD Mini Android Development] draltus:
these news are good news. I am waiting you schlund. I hope you will finish this project at the earliest :):D

because I love my htc hd mini.
[HD Mini Android Development] Abdulla_91:
It is very good new, thank you for you hard job, you are the best, you brings our mini from hell.

thank you, you are the best :D
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
for example the htc mini's five buttons (maybe called keypad) are different with htc aria's ball button ;)

nice work...
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
Schlund, I understand that you are working on this right now but I'm just curious if the knowledge and your debugging capabilities would allow you to further develop photonic release (remaining fixes)? Or whether liberated project is done will you cease all photon development ?
[HD Mini Android Development] maxxoros:
I cant wait until the next release, a really really good news :D
[HD Mini Android Development] speedfreak007:
woa, dude, this is awesome news!

See friend, in my part it says ....

It is legitimate to ask, answer is courtesy
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
Perfect spl aka spl inside photon can not be hacked! I am wrong? Maybe, but Cotulla (elite recognised developer, well known in htc hd2 forum and well known for his projects maded for htc hd2, one who hacked a lot of htc phones, one who added support for windows 7 to hd2 ...etc) sayd that spl on htc hd mini can not be hacked! Hi tried to hack spl but simple its not posible! Hi told me that that I wasting my time in hacking spl for photon. So guys, I'm afraid that you wait in vain! You can hack spl only by jtag! Maybe I am wrong but thats my opinions!:rolleyes:
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
Well, Munjeni... let's see what Schlund can do & what he answers about that... :rolleyes:
