There are some windows mobile builds with built in Android. I would look out for them. It would make things a lot easier till your able to get an idea of whats going on. There is a site called http://www.cellphonerepair.net/ The one in VA when I called a few years ago said they could root my phone and install Android on it for $50. There is also a guy on facebook that can do it but charges a arm and a leg. I guess if your really pressed and want it really bad you could always go that route. I would watch the video's though on youtube. In fact watch them a couple times before trying to do anything. Here's a good nand how to while this one might be better if you want a sd build. There are also how to guide's available on ebay for purchase that range from just a dollar or two all the way to about $20. I think having a look at this would be your best bet. There is also a section for "easy android" that may shed some light on some of your questions you may run into. Maybe you might find looking at the youtube video's and reading a little more informative and then feel a little more confident in giving it another go. I know I had to do it that way and I already had a lot of experience from rooting and installing android on the touch pro 2.

Hi, I wouldnt really mind paying for it to be done properly but Im from the UK not US so I dont think that link would be much use. Thanks anyway.
[HD2 General] Jcarney90:
Ok. I have just successfully flashed HSPL4 onto my device. And I am ready for the next stage. I have read this is the MAGLDR. How do I go about getting this onto my device?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Just a note to point out that hspl4 can install 2.08.0000 2.08.hspl 2.10.0000 2.10.hspl 3.03.0000 and 3.03.hspl, so simply "flashing hspl4" is a bit of an open statemnt with no facts.

My point is that magldr will ONLY work if you chose 2.08.hspl, anything else and magldr wont start.
[HD2 General] Jcarney90:
Hi again, I need some more help if anyone can understand my nooby efforts of explaining what I am up to :( Gettin tired of the same screen now and beginning to want to through the phone off the wall. I have getting to what I think from watchin endless amounts of videos the end of the process. But I am lost on how to get the actual android rom onto the phone. Currently this is were I am up to...

a black screen which reads

aMAGLDR V1.13

Build: Feb 1 2011 03:45:07

by cotulla 2011

Boot menu:

1. Boot WPH

2. Boot AD SD

3. Boot AD NAND

4. UDB MassStg

5.USB Flasher

6.USB TTY

7.AD Hardreset

8.AD Recovery

9.Tetris

10.Services

11.Reset

12.PowerDown

This is were I am up to I have tryed to download android roms but dont think I am going the right way about storing them on my computer so they can be put onto the phone? I might be totaly wrong. PLEASEE HELLPP!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
have you flashed cwm(clockwork, cwm, cwr, recovery - its called many things)

cos you cant flash teh rom from magldr itself.

so, assuming you havent, , first pick a rom, , for example typhoon. It requires a 150meg partition, , it says so in post 1 or 2, , all roms will tell you this, its important. Dont just think 'oh ill set it to 400meg and then all roms will fit', because you lose any unused space.

SO, from teh magldr screen, choose 'usb flasher', , , , get and run the nand toolkit, , on teh left chooser 150, in cache set to 5, then click magldr repartition.. This will install cwm AND set up teh partitions.

Reboot

in magldr choose 8 - ad recovery

this will start cwm

(put your rom.zip onto the sd card, anywhere, , if you have a card reader use that, if you dont, in cwm choose mounts - mount sd card - dont use teh magldr mass storage option cos it doesnt work)

then, in cwm choose install zip from sd card - choose zip - browse to teh zip file,

done.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
When putting the Android ROM of your choice on your SD card it should be in a zip file and look something kind of like this:

H:\typhoonROM.zip it shouldn't be in a folder like H:\hd2roms\typhoonROM.zip

This is the default location when I plug in my SD card to my computer but yours could be E:\, G:\, J:\ etc..
[HD2 General] Jcarney90:
I dont know if this is just a load of rubbish but I downloaded this... is it the right thing?

NexusHD2.ICS.CM9.HWA.V2.4.zip - ZIP archive, unpacked size 188,993,659 bytes
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
Yep (it shouldn't be unzipped by the way). Now just follow this guide from installing CWM onwards and you should be good to go, assuming you have done everything to this point correctly (HSPL2.08, Radio 2.xx.50.xx, MAGLDR). Note that you will have to adjust the step where it says to flash the correct partition size to the one required for your ROM of choice. The easiest way is probably to use the HD2 Toolkit rather than flashing one of the ones provided, but if you want to you can download one of the CWMs at the bottom of the guide I linked and edit the flash.cfg.
[HD2 General] Jcarney90:
Hi, Thanks for the reply, I have had a look at the guide you posted and it looks better than some of the videos I have been watching on youtube but I dont think I have done the radio bit I have forgot :o anyway I can tell or anyway I can start over again if I have missed it out?
[HD2 General] Jcarney90:
Also I have winRar on my computer and that is how the android file has been un zipped how do I stop winRar from un zipping files when I download then?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
it only unzips them if you double click them, , ,dont double click them, download the zip and move/copy it to sd card, dont click it.
[HD2 General] Jcarney90:
Does that mean I will have to download the file again? :S
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
I personally use 7Zip instead (it's easier and it's free) so I don't quite know, but in 7Zip you don't need to re-compress the contents or anything. That guide is indeed very good and detailed, and to check if you have the right radio, just reboot the device. In the bottom right of the screen (or maybe bottom left, you'll be able to tell when you see it) there's some text. The line next to the R is your radio version. It should be 2.xx.50.xx for you to proceed. If not, then you need to change it.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no because even if you did unzip it, the original zip will still be there and intact wherever you downloaded it to. (unless you chose 'open' instead of 'save' when you clicked the download link, which would be an incredibly stupid thing to do, you have no idea what a file is, and your AV software stands a much better chance of catching baddies when you save them rather than open them directly from the web.)
[HD2 General] Jcarney90:
When I reboot it goes straight to the aMAGLDR menu... :S and there isint anything in the bottom cornors
[HD2 General] Jcarney90:
Ok android is now onto my phone but when I turn on it doesnt go to the menu it goes onto a HTC screen then followed by a black screen with android in blue/white moving writing... but this is as far as it goes :| whats happend now!! :(

Just a tip for those already using a Xperia S pack with a nonworking semcvideo: only need to copy

com.sonyericsson.nfc.handover (xml and jar) to their respective locations and it will work.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ThilinaC:
it needs around 60-70mb I guess

more would be better since it extracts to system partition first afaik

There is also camera with pinch to zoom ability and setting with a little more theming. It would also be great if the launcher dock can change color according to the theme. A lot of small things but I hope we will eventually get them all.

Keep up your good work leonyeh :good:

I got the same thing too, movies working alright but i got these:

- camera got flipped upside down,

- "Like on facebook" is gone in Walkman XS.

But now camera back to normal and "Like on FB" thumb is there again. :D

Coz i dunno which file is effecting which, so this is what i did (pretty simple actually):

- Restore your nandroid backup to the state which you haven't flashed this SemcVideo.zip yet. (If you have no backup, ask someone else :confused:)

- Copy the folder /system/etc/permissions/, /system/framework/, /system/lib/ to sdcard and transfer to your PC.

- Make a copy of your downloaded SemcVideo.zip. (Better keep the original)

- Add All the file respectively from those three folder you just copied to SemcVideo-Copy.zip using 7zip or winrar

- Overwrite if asked, then save.

- Copy your SemcVideo-Copy.zip to sdcard then flash it again. Done.

Hope this will help.

Mine is WT19i 4.0.4, using:

- Lasan Universal Mod Pack (1,2,5,6,8,9,10)

- Serajr v.1 ICS Home MOAL

- Till-Krups Xperia S Mod Pack.

1) copy both .apk files to system/app. Don't forget to set permission!

2) copy the .xml file to system/etc/permission. Don't forget to set permission!

3) copy the .jar file to system/framework. Don't forget to set permission!

I would expect apps like Kindle to work, but Next Issue does more with video and interactive features. Because they say they only support certain resolutions I'm a little worried that Next Issue will start up, but that the content will not present right.

Not sure if you got what i was saying or not.

Internal sdcard is /emmc

So from where you are in that pic..go back to the parent folder, then go back again, then back once more, that should be the root directory.

From there you should see /emmc

That's your internal sdcard, you will be able to find your zips from here.
