It is always best to post questions about a specific rom in that rom's thread.

Boot into recovery, install kernel upgrade zip. Profit.

Of course you won't get any new changes baked into the rom files...

If you want the newest rom, wipe and start over from scratch.

I didn't recognize that name because my install files don't use that naming scheme, and it is a version I have not run in a long time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] isruco:
First of all - Thank you very very much for the guide Wizardknight, and also to all the hard working members that make all the magic possible to mod our devices.

I am replying to make a suggestion regarding my experience. It took me about 2 to 3 hours to read and learn about GBX on TP2, and install it successfully. As a disclosure I have been flashing my winmo phones for the last 5 or so years, so not a noobi with winmo ROMs.

The biggest snag I ran into was after successfully completing step 16 and starting 17. I dint understand why I wasnt seeing an option to install the ROM from sd card as instructed in step 17. I repeated the whole process and ended up the same, where all I saw was on my phone was the "blue miniPooploader. "

The step not mentioned on the guide and I found out from member walter79 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566955

was that

After successfully completing step #16, then power off and then power back on your phone. as soon as the "blue miniPooploader" screen begins press and keep held down the power button until you feel the phone vibrate, as explained towards the end of the guide here

Again many thanks to Wizardknight for putting together this guide and all the links to the tools needed. And equally grateful to Walter 79, as well as the netire community.

What did you mean at 0% that the phone its not unlocked?, you mean like the Network unlock?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
No, HSPL or bootloader unlock.

If you can flash custom WinMo ROM's, you should be fine. If you've never flashed a custom WinMo ROM, then you need to do the HSPL process. Make sure you follow the one for your device.

Battery

Hey,

I really really appreciate what you have done so far. You made a great job. Because i know that it takes lots of time and effort. And first time, i have another operating system then Winmo on my Rhodium.

I just performed the guide step by step easily and now i have NAND. But i have some troubles about it.

1) The Battery. I mean my battery life is like 5 hours even 3G(another problem :)) is not open. It also charges from computer like 15 mins :) Also i tried to look "What is using the battery?". And "Cell Standby" and "Phone idle" use most of them. So i think, low brightness wont for me.Why is it, did i do something wrong or how can i fix it?

2) 3G. It doesnt work for me. But the Wi-Fi works. I opened roaming from settings but when i check it in settings-about phone-status-roaming, it says not roaming. How can i fix it ?

Thanks in advance

Best regards from Turkey :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
1. Battery is bad in Android. It doesn't charge the battery to 100% properly, so it seems to charge very quickly. This also makes for a quick drain.

2. You're obviously GSM. Please state this, and which RHOD you are using. Assuming these things, make sure the APN is configured correctly. I don't have GSM, but I know the APN needs to be correct in order for data to connect.

Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:
Probably this. As noted in the guide, the guide was developed using a RHOD400. I only have access to the RHOD400. I do not see these issue with the RHOD400.

Also please post rom specific questions in that rom's thread. We don't know what your hardware is or what rom you are loading.

Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] mariankeyes:
Thank you for interest firstly :) ,

1) So you use like that too ? there is nothing to do.

2) its RHOD100. when i go "settings- wireless and network settings- mobile networks- APNs", its just black screen right now :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:
Depends on the rom and the phone. As I noted before post specific rom questions in that rom's thread.

We don't know what rom you are using, and this is not the place for those kind of questions.

So add the APN and it will not be ...:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] mariankeyes:
1) i read as new battery will work for it. also i saw a few links to buy it. so i will try :)

2) adding APN is worked. Solved :)

Thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Emmaugoh:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] CosmicBlue2000:
Hi, I want to try another nand, but when I get to point 9, it will start booting the last nand, so I don't get the needed response on point 13.

Your guide worked for me the first time, but now... I don't know what I am doing wrong. I followed your guide by every single word.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I'm confused. If you've already got LK on the device, then why even come back to this guide?

If you want to flash another ROM, go to CWM and flash the new ROM. Make sure to do a factory reset before booting.

In other words, skip to step 17.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:
This↑.

The guide was written to help you install your first android rom. If you want to do the whole thing all over again, then you need to go install WM stock and start over. Otherwise just boot into recovery, wipe, and flash.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] CosmicBlue2000:
Okay, now I am confused.

I thought it was by pressing volume down while powering up?

So I don't need an usb connection to pc?

What is LK?

How do I do a factory reset?

How do I access CWM?

How do I access recovery?

I needed this noob guide, so I have my outcoming now: I am a noob!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Ehm, let's break this down...

I think you hold POWER when booting to get into CWM.

Not to flash an Android ROM, after you've gotten LK installed (which you do, it's the blue miniPoopLoader screen). You just need the ROM you want to flash on the SD card, boot to CWM, and flash said ROM.

It stands for LittleKernel, it's the bootloader which replaces the WinMo bootloader so we can install Android natively.

From CWM.

To be clear, CWM is recovery. ClockWorkMod == a custom recovery for Android devices.

There's a few ways. The easiest is using an app like QuickBoot. adb works too:

adb reboot recovery

Last would be to hold POWER when booting - although this can be tricky, as you have to start holding POWER at the right time - too early or too late, and the device will boot normally.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] CosmicBlue2000:
Ooookey, loding volume down brings me to the tri-color screen, but that doesn't help, right?

Thanks for explaination.

Check, I have done that.

So I have only to get into CWM...

recognized that...awful.

No way, can't get an usb connection working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Only if you want to flash WinMo back...

Uhm, how the heck did you get LK installed without a USB connection? You need it to do the fastboot commands....

Anyhoo, why wouldn't an app work? If you can boot to Android, install the app (there's a few, look on the PlayStore) and reboot to recovery.

The one I used to use was called QuickBoot IIRC. You just need an app that has the option to reboot the phone to recovery - the app will require root access, which all the ROM's have here.

Edit - found the app I was talking about.

[/quote]

As I wrote, it worked for me the first time. I tried ICS that time, but the screen isn't lighten up correctly, can't even enter my pin.

ICS might be booted correctly, but without screen, I can't say.

And Windows won't find any phone on usb now.

But I found the correct moment to hold power now, just installed GBX0...and I'm quite happy now :good:

Thanks alot for help.

Problem solved already, but...how could I install any app withou working screen?

Can't login to google account, so no push of app from play store. No browsing of store on phone itself.

Anyway, doesn't matter now.

Thanks a lot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I guess I missed that part... perhaps be a bit more descriptive when you're asking for help.

Glad you got it working. Enjoy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Emmaugoh:
I still want to know why my phone keeps rebooting After it loads to 100% and completed,instead of showing blue screen,instead it keeps rebooting....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Emmaugoh:
Ok,but. I have heard thesame from aa guy that uses my Model type "Rhod *** 32m
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
So... does this mean you don't know what model RHOD you have?

Have you not done the HSPL?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Emmaugoh:
Done HARDSPL times Without number,it show 1.0olinex,Ok I want to know what RHOD*** 32m means cos I have always been seing Rhod 400,rhod 100,rhod 500 and so on,but this one is diffrent,allow me to use only sprint and downgraded verizon rom in Wm,but in Android its sd build work ok but in

Nand,its diffrent,pls tell what more to do?.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:
You may be out of luck. If you have a knock off / non-offical Rhod, the unlocking tools will probably not work on it.

issues installing first nand rom on tilt 2

not able to boot off of the rhodimg into lk....i get the tri colored screen, It then automatically goes to the white rom update screen, but flashes a message about invalid rom & goes back to the tricolored screen

the only file in the rhodimg is 00_OS.nb....shouldn't there be more? if so which ones?

are all rhodium rhodimg files the same? can i make a rhodimg for my rhod300? if so how?

i know this is not being supported, but any help would be greatly appreciated
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
You shouldn't be renaming the NBH or anything... just place it at the root of your SD card (no folders) and flash like any WinMo ROM flashed via SD.

I've had my tp2 for 5 years and it has never been flashed but I now want to android it. However, I still have warranty on the phone until next year.... so, if I nand it, is it possible to "un-nand" it? (if so, can someone point me out to a link pls?!) sorry for my noobness :o

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

would anyone be able to assist me with these? :crying:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I would recommend you do A LOT of reading before taking any flying leaps.

In order to "unNAND", you just flash back any WinMo ROM.

Good luck. Might want to start with the SD card method first - it's less risky.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] strawberry cupcakes:
Thanks for your reply, but can you recommend where I could start? Sorry :( I tried searching "command prompt" here but didn't get much :( Is there a chance of me bricking my phone if its not done correctly?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
There's always a chance of breaking things if you don't do something correctly. You could burn your hand or set your house on fire with a microwave...

At any rate, you must realize you're getting into this a bit late. The development "fever" on this device has shall I say... waned.

With that said, FRX07.1 is a good starting point I spose. Not the best ROM by any means, but hardly any brick risk and it's pretty easy to do.

If you really want Android flashed to the device, it's not for the feint of heart. You sound worried about warranties and bricks, so I would probably just stay away. All the info you need to flash Android NAND to your Touch Pro2 is in the first post however, you don't need to search around.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsc/p/command-prompt.htm

I highly recommend you get someone in the same physical room, who knows what they are doing in your case. You will need a teacher there to help you in real time if your skill set is limited to the start button in windows, and you have your heart set on this.

Nothing personal, but like my guide says...

This guide assumes that you know what a command prompt is, how to load windows drivers for a device, and can open zip files. If these things are not within your skill sets I would recommend that you find someone who understands these things to assist you.

This is the semi-advanced stuff. Yes, you can brick the unit if you don't do it right. If you don't know how to manipulate files, work the command prompt in windows, have some dos or linux experience, you should go with one of the SD card versions of Android. You will probably not be able to brick the phone that way.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Flash any WinMo ROM via SD.

Place the NBH file at the root of your SD, rename it to RHODIMG.NBH.

Boot into bootloader mode (tri-color screen).

but i do that and the phone is stay in 0% and then reboot and come back to android

Then the file has not been loaded properly.

This has nothing to do with Android. This has to do with flashing the phone in bootloader mode.

install problem on TP2

EDIT: it's working now. it started working when I left the phone on (rather than removing battery) when connecting to USB after booting into miniPooploader, although I'm not sure whether that was material to the solving the problem.

everything looks like it's going fine when installing on my TP2 until step 16, when I load the recovery image. At that point, nothing happens (screen still black). when I checked fastboot devices before that step, I got

c:\platform-tools>fastboot devices

HT01VM305300 fastboot

so it looks like it was working up till then.

loading and booting the recovery image looks like it worked too

c:\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery_cwr_6.0.1.3.img

sending 'recovery' (3438 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.211s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 2.177s]

finished. total time: 3.390s

c:\platform-tools>fastboot boot recovery_cwr_6.0.1.3.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 1.212s]

booting...

OKAY [ 0.511s]

finished. total time: 1.723s

After I submit the boot command, I noticed the power light on the TP2 turns off.

I tried starting over from the beginning and got the same result. I noticed if I tried querying "fastboot devices" again after I boot the recovery image I no longer get "HT01VM305300 fastboot" but a blank result. The power button no longer does anything when I try rebooting manually (although I can load into the ROM update screen).

I am wondering why I don't see anything on my screen at step 17 (so I can install the actual ROM). Any suggestions would be appreciated. I noticed that after I did the fastboot steps the device is no longer listed as My HTC but rather as HTC Dream.

I noticed that miniPoopLoader shows a bunch of errors (as follows). Is this related to my problem?

flash_read_image:failed (0 errors)

Boot reason: power button

13. Open a command prompt and go to c:\platform-tools\.

13. Open a command prompt and type / paste "cd c:\platform-tools\" (Without quotes)

When to remove the USB cable from the Phone

Should add a file explorer / APK installer so that we can install apps & shall not rely ONLY on google play store to install apps from.

A Touch Screen Calibration Tool should be added in the rom.

Right now I am searching for how to install apps in the phone without having an APK installer, File Manager & Google Play ( This Gapps package does not contain google play

Thanks for the tutorial Wizardknight :angel:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:
I will not be making those changes as the guide specifically states that it is for people who are already familiar with a command prompt and have installed roms before. Changing directories is a very very basic skill, and is an acceptable naturally occurring filter to keep people from breaking there hardware. It is already spoon feeding as it stands.

Just use adb to side load what ever apps you want to side load. Nothing complicated about it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] nightcrawler218:
Using the ADB is a new thing to me & of course It seems interesting. I will definitely try to use the ADB to install apps. Informative.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] oldworld:
Stupidly I tried to ignore all the comments about how USB3.0 ports (on a Windows 8 computer) were causing troubles, and I tried for ages (ok fine, for about 3hrs after midnight) trying to find drivers that worked on my new laptop for HTC, trying to download the Android SDK Manager to get the proper Google USB Driver (which included Eclipse), I tried downloading a new USB Driver, re-flashing the RHODIMG.NBH, etc. but nothing worked.

So, where I got was the blue screen telling me that the header image files weren't valid, and that it was going to use fastboot.

This is what it's supposed to do, I believe, as it waits patiently for one to connect the USB cable to the computer-phone, and follow through with step 13.

However, when I plugged in the USB cable, in my (I'm using W8) device manager I wasn't able to get the right driver to communicate with the phone (this is where I tried everything). It kept showing me that dreaded yellow exclamation triangle identifying it wasn't working properly. When I woke up this morning, I realized that I was being stupid, and should just use an older computer to do this on.

Once I plugged the phone into the older computer (windows 7 w/ USB 2.0 ports), it recognized the device right away without me even having to update the driver, and step 13 worked without a blip.

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it worked seamlessly and I'm now configuring my new Android phone! (ie. learning it's new quirks).
