[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mizzikedamosher:
Could be the fact that your trying to put an AT&T branded ROM on a none branded phone. I mean I don't see where a problem would be really since ROMs don't affect much of anything to do with the different radios. But as for the hardware there may be some differences in it and thats where your problems are coming in at. Because a lot of the bloatware and applications on the AT&T ROM probably wont act right with the hardware of your phone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mizzikedamosher:
Sorry about my previous statement. I just flashed back to this ROM after trying duttys because I decided to use throttle launch and the only reason I like cooked roms is most include the wifi router but for stability I feel more comfortable with official roms.. And remembered from the first time it does go to 8% goes to the color screen but goes back to flashing and finishes through from 8%. And nothing seems to go wrong in it. But you still may have issues with it being TD2 and not a pure with all the bloatware and what not working properly.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mizzikedamosher:
Be careful in using certain things I think the audio boost of the in call in the TD2 tools busted my speaker on the pure. I didn't use the phone before I turned it on to be able to fully verify if it was the tweak in the program that did it. But I am preparing my phone now to be shipped back to AT&T under warranty.

ok now i did put the stock rom and spl on htc pure again and did it sucessfully

1. download the rom from the htc website

2. right click on the .exe file and extract to a folder

3. find the ruu_signed.nbh which is around 200 meg

4. put it on sd card and rename it to TOPAIMG.nbh

5. enter into the bootloader by pressing power on and vol down simultaneously

6. and press power on to confirm and start the rom flash

7. flashing may hang in between but it will finish

8. soft reset by pressing the red button under the stylus

9. ok now you have stock rom .

turn on the phone and finish all the initial setup

10. download the file named TopazSPLRelocker_SPL133.zip

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=520312

11 extract the .exe file on to the desktop

12 run that with phone turned on and connected in active sync mode

13 check the phone screen and press ok to the prompts

14 wait for relocker to finish it.

15 now again go to the bootloder and see the spl version it should be 1.33.00

16 since you already have the rom in the sd card start the rom flashing

17 let it finish

18 now you should have spl version 1.83.00 which is the latest.

i did the same as above hope it will work for you
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JEANRIVERA:
if you get stuck at 8%

unplug usb and plug it back in quick without cancelling the ruu it worked for me

Sorry for the noobishness...I'm confused with flashing the Pure. I had an omnia and flashed it more than 100 times! I never needed to unlock anything. Just pluged it in turned the phone on and ran the Omnia upload tool from the pc. If I just want to put Winmo6.5.5, and use it on Att's network, what do I do. I've read the tutorials and they all seem specific for the non-att version.

I will be hard resetting my phone soon as its become unusable, If I use PIM backup 2.8 will this restore all contacts (Sim and Phone) along with all information with them, birthdays, emails, ect.

I guess it will but just want to make sure before I do this, thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Yes, PimBackup is a very good tool. You can also store other info on your sd card or computer before you perform hardreset.

Good Luck

it is still early to have a fully developed subforum,but i think that making a subforum will attract people,so over a short period of time the android community would grow mostly caused by having easy access to android ports and working versions...which will result in more interest...more interest in better development...because right now it's kinda hell out there in the development thread
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dynamite monkey:
I've had this issue with five different ROMs including the stock HTC ROM. It doesn't do it when the ROM is flashed freshly but starts within an hour or so, regardless of whether I load any other software on.

Here's exactly what happens. It doesn't matter if the unit is in standby or if the proximity sensor is activated. (On a phone call with phone by head - backlight is disabled.)

When the backlight is off and is activated by either pressing the power button or moving the phone away from the head, the backlight comes on dim, then goes off, then turns back on at regular brightness. The delay between activating the backlight and reaching regular brightness is around one second.

What is going on? This is really annoying. If I'm on a call and want to mute the mic, I take the phone away and "flash, flash, mute". Then I want to unmute and the same thing.

I don't have any software on the phone right now that most of the rest of you don't have. I've got:

AT&T keyboard fix

Dusk lockscreen

PHM Regedit

Safe Inbox Extender

Clock flip disable

1% battery driver

Theme pack for 1% battery icons

I've reflashed and installed none of this software and the issue doesn't occur. Without installing any software, the issue recurs within a day. (Usually within an hour)

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

------------

(sorry I tried to post some live links, but the forum won't allow them cause I'm a new user, so this may not be as helpful as I hoped...)

I just spent some hours wading through the forums to find complete instructions for installing the newer android builds using the WM haret.exe linux booter (rather than flashing the entire phone and loosing WM) on my touch Vouge.

I am a bit of a newb, but since I did not find complete instructions, and had to figure some things out using trial and error I thought I would post what I did figure out here in hopes of helping others.

First ignore the install instructions here. sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstall . They are old and need to be updated.

Erase all previous android files from your sd card

Go here: sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/

haretinstall.zip

open the zip and place the andboot folder and all its contents on the / directory of your SD card

then download eclair252_androidinstall.zip

unzip eclair252_androidinstall.zip to get androidinstall.tar

copy androidinstall.tar to your sdcard /andboot folder

(unnecessarily steps deleted - see below)

Then on your phone's file explorer run haret.exe from /andboot folder on you sd card

click run and immediately hold the volume switch up as linux boots

the boot menu appears. choose install

if the installation hangs hold volume up again, and choose quit

As I said I'm new at this, so my instructions may be off or misguided. If so please post with corrections. I just know I was looking for a guide like this and couldn't find one so hope this helps someone.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] egzthunder1:
Actually, you just answered my question (which I never posted) about NoRootFS.... Thanks for posting this!!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] brarsandeep:
THANK YOU!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
can you explain what is the benefits of doing it this way compared to the way its always been for me. it was as simple as downloading the sqsh package zip file from my favorite build here. witch included all the files i needed to run anroid. I copied the android folder from the zip file to the root of my sd card and simply ran haret exe. It used to be complicated but not now that most builds include all the basefiles needed for boot. I never had to hold any volume buttons or install anything. i probably look dumb for asking this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tmcfarland:
Although I have not yet tried myself because I have a Polaris and WiFi is not yet working, my understanding is that NoMoRootFS makes more space available for the ROM and makes it easier for developers to roll out updates. In the thread for Myn's (most excellent) Warm Donut, there are several themes and updates that can only be applied to Rev2 if you have installed via NoMoRootFS.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ryomahino:
I think that this step is not needed. The NBH files were made for flash your phone. If you run Haret is not needed.

Am I right?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
correct. with the OP method, the .nbh file is just taking up space. you never need to do anything with a .nbh file if you are using haret. OP, please fix and I will add to my list of FAQs, otherwise very informative. thx.

Help

I can't get this to boot on my Vogue. The black Linux screen pops up & starts running but stops. The last line says...

[ 2.226233] Rebooting in 3 seconds.._

I've followed your instruction to the letter & can't see to get it to work. Anyone have suggestions?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
Did you get into the install menu by holding volume up? easiest and quickest way to help you is if you describe exactly what you did - I know it is similar to the OP, but just give a step by step in your own words.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] olibt:
I did all of the steps but linux boot stops at : failed to reach system.img on SD Card...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Emmie0702:
Did didn't get past the Linux menu. It only ran for about 4 or 5 seconds then locked up. I had to soft reset to get my phone functioning again.

I did exactly what the instructions in the 1st post said to do.

Downloaded andboot file to \storage card\andboot

Downloaded androidinstall.zip & placed in the andboot file

Clicked haret.exe

Selected run while holding up the volume key

I read in the post that the below items were not necessary so I skipped them:then download vogueeclairnbh.zip

unzip vogueeclairnbh.zip to get VOUGIMGx480.NBH

copy VOUGIMGx480.NBH to your sdcard /andboot folder

I'm running stock rom. My carrier is nTelos (CDMA).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Stevevo:
I notice that your rom version and radio version are not the latest. You may have to ungrade those before you can get it to run.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
always good to have latest radio. i don't know if it will interfere with you booting linux, usually it creates problems with gps or data once you are in android. but who knows, anything is possible I suppose.

list the files that are in /sdcard/andboot/ emmie0702
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Emmie0702:
I've always wanted to update me ROM but there is not a Server cab out there that will give me back my settings for nTelos. Its a small cell network therefore no one has bothered to create one (I really can't blame them). So I've never tried it out of fear of Bricking my phone. For some reason nTelos did not offer WiFi, GPS or MMS with this phone through their network (didn't know that until AFTER I bought it). They have it for other phones but not this one for some reason. That was a little annoying when I 1st got it but I've leaned to live without it. I love my phone even w/o those things. I get pics emailed to me & can email them to other's phone through their carrier address (eg 1234567890@vzwpic.com). WiFi would be nice but I never use GPS. As far as the Radio. I assume it sort of the same step. I pretty much have to install it & it will wipe out or "Hard Reset" my phone, right...causing me to losing all my network info?

Here are the files I have in the andboot folder:

androidinstall

default

haret

initrd

READE-BASEFILES

zImage

zImage-eclair

** I could not file the "eclair252_androidinstall.zip" file to download so I downloaded the androidinstall.zip under the "2010-01-05" folder from sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/. Could that be the problem or could it be a combination of my Radio/ROM & the androidinstall tar I downloaded?

Thanks for the help guys!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
is it androidinstall.zip or androidinstall.tar?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Emmie0702:
File Name: androidinstall

File Type: WinRAR archive (.tar)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
you should be able to update your radio without touching your rom, there is a radio only version of 3.42.50, see the faqs noob guide to flashing, it is in there.

I am unsure what you downloaded; it looks like you have the right basefiles, but if you got androidinstall.zip from 2010-01-05 I don't think it will have anything compatible with the norootfs method, and is probably causing your problem.

delete androidinstall.tar, download this and drop the androidinstall.tar that is inside into your sdcard/andboot/ folder. then run haret and keep holding volume up until you see the install menu. then post back.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Emmie0702:
OK. Same thing...phone locks up at the same place. I downloaded the file you attached & downloaded the VOGUIMG.nbh file that was linked on PPCGeeks. I followed the instructions on PPCGeeks post "This is the vogue radio 3.42.50 designed for the vogue (this is not the titan port). I removed it directly from the bell rom and recomplied it as a radio only .nbh. This is a radio only rom designed to be flashed from bootloader from sd card and doesn't require a hard reset. Copy VOGUIMG.nbh to root of fat32 micro sd card 2gb or less and place phone in bootloader and it will run."

I still get the same outcome. Both your attachment & the VOGUIMG.nbh file are located \Storage Card\ on my phone. When the Radio instructions say its designed to be flashed from Bootloader what exactly does that mean? Do I need a program for that or is it suppose to start when I Run the default.txt after I select haret in the andboot folder?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
the place you got the link to the radio only version also has instructions on how to flash your phone - see the before starting area. short: get into bootloader mode, then flash.

I still think there is something else that you are doing wrong, I just can't put my finger on it right now; i'm hoping others will be able to help.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Emmie0702:
OK. I figured out how to get it in bootloader mode (power button + camera + soft reset). The Red/Blue/Green screen pops up & then a Grey screen that says "loading...". Its been "loading" for over 5 minutes now. What could be the problem?

Have you tried running the radio upgrade via romutilityupdate? I've never owned a microsd under 8gb so all my flashing is done via pc-usb.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shabicht:
me too

I also have been trying to get android running via haret without success. I am running newest radio and a WM6.5 rom. I had android running in the early days of the devellopment of this project but cannot get it to work now. I tried the warm donut build posted in this thread and was still unsuccessful.

The last thing I see after running the installation and then quitting the installer is

ANDROID [195.486416] init: Unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno:2

this is being done on an 8GB class 4 microsdhc but i also tried a 512mb card without avail.

Any hints, tips, tricks?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
After hitting run in haret. Hold the volume button up until the install menu pops up then select install system to sd. After the files copy and it brings you back to the installer select exit. Thats exactly what I did initially to run from NAND with the exception of where the system was copied to.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shabicht:
That is what i have been doing with the exception that I do not get prompted with a choice of where to install, it just starts going. i might just break down and install to nand...

OK....I FINALLY got it to work with some help from a kid.

Check out this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI-CNHuzdmU

(The links to the download that worked on my phone are posted here too. It is IMPORTANT that you DO NOT touch any of the phone buttons while Linus is loading. I did & it never loaded. Just hit "Run" & put the phone down until its finished. It took about 5 or 6 minutes for Android to come up the 1st time I ran Haret.)

I don't know who this kid is but he's the MAN!! Good Job Sport & THANKS AGAIN!

I also got it to work from here but its an older build (I found this one before the youtube video....)

Finally got install 1. in menu

Hi All,

After about 5 hours of messing with this and always getting to the haret Android install menu with only 7 options (rather than 9. none of which was "1. install") because it could not see the SD card. I finally got past that with the myn-WarmDonut download "here" in post #17 by tatnai.

Unfortunately still no joy. I can now choose install and moves to formatting, creating file system, writing inode tables and then it says Android installed.

Then it goes back to the time boot message screen. Now at 1480 secs and these messages.

mdp irq already on 4 4

mdp_dma_to_mddi: busy

schedule+0x0/0x430 from some address msm_rpc_read_command

adsp_rpc_thread=0x0/0x334 etc

kthread=0x0/0x80 from some address do_exit=0x0/0x65c

I can get back to the install menu but that's it.

I am missing something?

I guess I was. Choose .9 quit and now its continuing to load. Sounds silly but that should be updated in the 1st post in this thread as one of those steps.

[Omnia II General] Ajacied410:
Hello rom developers from all over the world.

I have a question about the difference between the rom of the B7610 and the i8000.

I know the hardware is the same, and in my opinion the rom is also the same.

The only thing that should be different in the rom of the B7610 is the support of the hardware keyboard.

So can the rom builders maybe find the driver for the keyboard in the B7610 rom and make the roms for the i8000 also available for the B7610 so the community of the custom omnia roms gets a boost.

I'm not a rom builder so this is just thinking verry simple.

Maybe there is more difference but thats why i'm asking all you rom developers this question!

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a minor question. Is there a way that i can change the amount of desktops that i have in my home screen.

[Android Themes] jairomeo:
Most the themes are designed for a specific ROM and don't make modifications on the Launcher, it's usually left with whatever the ROM has. If you want to be able to control the amount of Home screens, you should look into using the advanced launcher, or see if there is a theme you like for your ROM using the advanced launcher.

Thanks for your advise. I'll look into the advance launcher app.
