Right well err cant this to work so i am wondering what i have done wrong

Got the file from http://www.homecncfun.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=2

Put on sd card in andboot direc.

Flashed POLAIMG-PANEL3-320.NBH to my phone by custom-ruu

Then on boot i held volume up

then selected sys on nand and data on sd card partition.

Now when it goes though it says soemthing about no pointer or failure in general.

Do I need more directories on the sd card or something..

This is well annoying me as it seems so simple but will not work!!!!

Also hope this is in the right place. Help me please...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] roomer11:
Tried both sys and data on Nand ?

Sys Nand and Data SD Card partition didnt't work for me either..
[Touch Cruise Android Development] chris10230:
Well yeh i did last night but now

sys on nand data on nand works!

Cheers for the help anyway!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] khsayem:
I am also facing the same problem :( Now i am unable to flash Official rom on my POLA100. I have tried to flash WM6.1 polaimg.nbh from SD card, but the bootloader is not appearing. Plz help me out.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] khsayem:
I have tried it Bro. But still it's not working! Can't reset in bootloader.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] raist1976:
guys ... just remove the battery a few seconds then before & while powering back the device, hold the camera button as usual. Will work, have to do that all the time when you have a flashed android in the polaris.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Haru13:
Hello!

I've succeeded in putting Myn's warn with Nomoroots method...But Data connection doesn't work...

Do you know how to configure it?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Arkish:
You need your GPRS settings and APN name for your network then go to

Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names

Then New APN (on mine click button 'OK' to view this at the black screen), and add the APN detials.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Haru13:
OK, but how can i get my GPRS seting and APN name?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] roomer11:
Foolproof way will be to ask your provider. otherwise maybe you can tell us here which provider you are with and see if someone happens to know what you need to fill in.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Haru13:
Ok...MY operator is SFR (french one)... i've tried to find some on the net but doens't seems to work (internet yes but not MMS)...When i enter the figures, the APN disappear...

I can't download app from the market too...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] :
If you have access to the Android market you should be able to use "Toggle Data" to turn off cellular data (it changes the APN).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Haru13:
You can also look to the modem and press "disconnect", i think it end data connection...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] troin:
everything is working fine for me, except the things that are not supposed to work.

however I get some random HR every once in a while. very few i must say, and then the screen goes black and a white _ appears on the top corner and it just cant boot.

i'm going to leave it as it is just to try, but i'll be testing it more.

at the moment i must say it works like a charm in comparison to any WM i've tested before

battery issues. Somewhat low life, but i'm working on it to configure it so that it doesn't use internet as much and so on.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
I finally gave a try out of Nand install. Cool, worked out quite well.

After some investigation, I selected this kaiser eclair build (see above). Dispite been slightly slower than Donut, wifi works out of the box, 3G too. So to my point of view, it's an easier way to get rid of winMo.

I have an issue on the installation process though. As Qan, I couldn't get Data to be stored on SD, either with a FAT32, or ext2 formated SD. I also tried out a double partition (FAT32 with andboot and empty ext2) expecting the problem would be that the installer could not unmount the partition where andboot is stored as it obviously requires it to do the installation.

Today is not a good day for trying out GPS : heavy snow south of France (8th of march :eek: !)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
I see a lot of recent updates for Vogue at http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D and a lot of changes made to the kernel at http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-vogue

Did they forget Polaris? We're missing the latests fixes and updates :( The newest .NBH was on 20-02-2010 (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files). Sixteen entire days lacking updates!

Are we so wretch?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] maroe007:
data on sd doesn't work

i have installed android on my nand

oke when reach the android installer i choose:

-Sys on NAND

-Data on SDCard Partition

but it wont work it says: "can't umount on sd" or something like that :confused:

but when i doe data on NAND it works but i have not enough data so thats the problem

sorry for my bad english

thanks;)

ps: i have already format my sd (fat32)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] chourmovs:
that's right but on the other hand, polymod get better for polaris on each release, so we can't conclude

I hope kernel development will continue for polaris :o
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
today kaiser nbhs have benn updated..

as it is very close to polaris hardware i hope we get an update too
[Touch Cruise Android Development] luzbel_es:
With this update Kaiser have bt support!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] flaviusio:
Hello everyone

I think that the polymod_2.1g is the best build for polaris.

I'm using this build right now on my pola100 with panel3nbh from 20.02 and everything works fine,excepting bluetooth.Even the gps works fine if you have the gps file on your sdcard.

I hope we will have bluetooth suport soon.;)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
helpp! :(

Anyone know why when I flash the nbh everything seems to go fine, but when i turn on my Polaris i just get a wierd scrambled like colored screen and nothing else happends, it just stays there, I tried polaimg panel 1, 2 and 3 panel 2 and 3 fade into black after showing the same wierd screen but nothing else happends :( any idea?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
you were using a polaimg..?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] flaviusio:
I forgot to mention that the camera,the reset function of the "end" button and some of the live wallpapers doesn't work either.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
iseeka: tried using the NAND (polaimg.nbh) method and the SD method both give me just a scrambled like screen and nothing happends from there :S
[Touch Cruise Android Development] flaviusio:
If u used a version of android with haret install use the panel type from the default.txt that worked.

On my pola100 was polaris.panel_type=3.

I renamed the panel_3.nbh file to polaimg.nbh and flashed it from sdcard

I hope you'll find a solution ;)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
the problem is that the default does not have that setting installed, my polaris is POLA100 and tried all 3 panels :S guess I should just leave this alone
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
Ok, I oficially give up :( tried EVERYTHING formated and partitioned my SD, modified the 3 panel types, flashed every polaimg nbh to nand and they all do the same thing :(

scrambled image after the htc logo it vibrates once when I power it on, and it vibrates 2 times right before the screen gets all scrambled... nothing more... any ideas?? :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
Did you ever try Android with Haret before ? You should first try this way so to determine witch panel you have :

Re install WinMo on NAND. Install any old Android (Nym's Donut works great. you'll find link at the beginning here) using the Classic SQSH method. There you'll have to change the default file (text file) with the correct panel. You won't have to change any installation between attempt, so it will be easier. FYI most POLA100 are panel1.

then if you wan't to flash NAND, you'll simply have to tahe the correct .NHB file to flash.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
thanks, but I tried EVERY method, SQSH, NAND, HARET with every panel and they all do the things I described above, I saw a YouTube video and I can see than same screen does appear for a very brief moment of time before it shows the Linux penguin but in my case it just stays there...

I am going to retry using the SQSH method since I've read that seems to be the method that seems to be working the best

thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
Data on SD.

I've successfully installed KaiserDroid2.1 on NAND but only with Data on NAND. Same with any built I tried so far. I can't install data on SD. I always get the 'cannot unmount' message.

Since some did install data on SD, on their pola100, I'd like to have some details from these. Here's the clue I have :

I flashed the Panel1-480.NBH. Could a Panel-428.NBH change something ?

I use a FAT32 formated SD. Only one partition. I also tried 2 partition, one FAT32 with andboot on top root, and a ETX2 empty (supposed I guessed to be the one containing data). Could a EXT2 SD (no FAT32 partition) work any better ? Or may be do I have to set a label on the partition ? Or more simply, could it be that some SD card cannot be unmounted by the installer ?

Android on NAND is great, but I cannot install all I'd like, I need some more space...

Or may be I can run some apps from the SD even with everything on NAND.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] GriloVirante:
Maybe silly, but r u sure that you've set the default.txt (or startup.txt) right?

For a Pola200 something like this should work:

kill *.exe
#alloctest 0x2000
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
# The following kernel parameters are useful
# ppp.nostart	- Set ppp.nostart=1 to disable starting the ppp connection on boot
# msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax - The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller
# pm.sleep_mode - The mode used when the phone is off
# 0=Power Collapse Suspend, 1=Power Collapse, 2=Apps Sleep,
# 3=Slow Clock and Wait for Interrupt 4=Wait for Interrupt
# Default is 1, use 1 for best power savings
# board-htcpolaris.panel_type - Panel type used to power the panel off and on
# 0=Don't power off the panel (Default)
# 1=Sony 2=Topoly 3=Topoly (probably just the same as 2)
# lcd.density - Defaults to 160, 128 shows more on screen
#
set cmdline "ppp.nostart=0 pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 no_console_suspend clock-7x00.mddi=0xa51 board-htcpolaris.panel_type=0"
boot

and - if I remember right - for a Pola100 you need board-htcpolaris.panel_type=0
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
usually panel 1 for pola100 i think
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
I think I've tried about 20 diferent defaults.txt as well as some of my own, all the same result... I did find out that my LCD is madeby hitachi... 1 is for sony, 2 and 3 for topoly... Wondering if there is a hitachi one?

thanks for the help :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kefje27:
Hi all,

A question who has GPS working on the MYN Warm donut release as this is the mos complete.....

If I have GPS I'll flsh it 4 sure but for now that is a showstopper...

cheers

Kef
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
I use copilot with myn warm donut works fine most time, some times locks up device but most of the time works great.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kefje27:
So what release are you using and how ?NAND , SQHS? .... any special tricks you needed to do before you where able to run with GPS?

cheers

Kef
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
Im using the latest MYN Warm donut on nand and copilot v8.0.0327.When you install copilot if the copilot screen ends up all slanted uninstall it,delete the copilot folder on sdcard and change the lcd.dencity to 113 reboot then install copilot.Once you've installed copilot you can change lcd.dencity back to what you want.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
GPS test.

At the moment, I use nym's Donut from NAND, with the wifi fix. Before buying any GPS software, I am looking for a way of confirming GPS does work. I tried google Maps (I updated from the market) and I don't get a fix any better than 5km. So I guess it uses the available phone network to get localisation info. Plus it often doesn't give any fix at all.

I downloaded GPSTest that does seem to get satellites, but doesn't give any fix : It reports up to 11 satellites in sight, but none in use.

I do have the GPS file from when I used Haret on the SD card, just in case it changes anything.

Is there a way of being sure if the GPS chip is working ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kefje27:
@zeguido Yes Exactly I have the same issue but I even don't get any satellites in GPSTest...

I though maybe flashing to NANd was a solution but apparently not...

cheers

Kef
[Touch Cruise Android Development] adrenalynik:
someone is able to use CoPilot with the screen horizontally? to me it messes everything
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
I already had the same result when using Haret. I also tried Eclair and get the same. I read there could be restriction using google Maps in some countries, but I though a basic GPS soft would give a fix (latitude and longitude without map display at least)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
I've never had much luck using google maps "usually miles off" and never tried gpstest but copilot gives me a fix which is spot on "well within feet".On the move it's ok sometimes a little slow updating.I'd hang on buying it till android is a little more stable.

Check your dmesg for nmea read date= and fix= should tell you if you are getting a fix.

Yer it's all messed up horizontall for some reason copilot thinks the screen is 320x427 thats why it's all messed up.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
Meknb, thanks for your answer.

I looked in the dmesg file in 'andboot' folder. I have no 'nmea' or 'fix'. Can you please give some detail on dmesp ? I suppose it is some kind of a log or report or may be pref. file for linux android . Is it generated at each start up (ie overwrite the previous), or is it a log ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
After you start your gps app open a terminal and type dmesg,which nbh are you using? the latest 20/3/10 take's awhile to get a fix,i use a earlier one.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kefje27:
Which NBH then the latest now is 22/03?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
I use 14/2,with the latest audio and adb is a bit buggy,and wifi needs to be fixed,i can live without bluetooth.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Boys, I came back to Windows Mobile 6.5 since I couldn't stand some annoying problems that I had been suffering for weeks.

Android constantly breaking itself. When reset, it's show me "untracked PID" messages. I have installed/wiped data more than 15 times.

No Wifi with the latests NBHs.

Unstable data connection for me. The modem app tells me "ppp connection went down" :( and doesn't reconnect automatically.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kefje27:
Where can I find the Wifi and audio fix?

sorry for all these questions...

Edit :

Got it all working Woot Woot.... thx 4 the help
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
BT + Wifi + audio + no crashing + GPS + Cellular Data? How?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
I am using POLAIMG-PANEL1-320.NBH 2010.02.20 from sourceforge.

OK I see where I can get info on dmesg. does it send mail to somewhere concerning boot of Android 8° ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
No dmesg just prints the kernel debugging messages.If you wanted to email it?you could

dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt

writes to dmesg.txt on your sdcard,or use adb shell from your pc.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
Thanks for these explanation meknb.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kefje27:
Also going back to WinMo Getting to much FC of android core and home...

shame I like it booting Android but I'll have to wait until it's more stable for our beloved Polaris...

regards

Kef
[Touch Cruise Android Development] luzbel_es:
We must be patient. If somebody need wifi can flash a old nbh from dzo repository. I think that soon our Polaris will have full hardware support for Android thanks to our nice developers! They have a private life and works for free... Sorry my english!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
i think i´m going back to wm....too many sound problems

now seems bt is fully functional on vogue.. i hope dzo have more time to fix polaris issues

I hope next step is videocall issue!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Racky:
I've tried to install Android via NAND using the [

Android] NAND Boot Method for Polaris: FLASH IT!

, but after flashing the .nbh file, the install screen won't apear. The phone vibrates twice and a full screen of colored points apear... after that it's "dead". After this I must remove the battery and place it back that the phone to start again. I have to mention that the .nbh file's name is " polaimg-panel3-320-22-03-10.nbh ". Some advices please !

L.E. SOLVED..I had to use POLAIMG-PANEL1-320.NBH..Stupid me :|
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
GPS working nim'sDonut on NAND.

I finally got a fix today using GPStest and then Maps. Only took a short while in an open space (few trees almost cloudless). I guess my previous test took place in obstructed area. Hard to tell if it takes longer or shorter than with WM.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] larstnt:
Hi ZeGuido, you have a functional gps signal? I can turn on the gps, but nothing happens in GPStest

Cheers!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
I had the same, but I think i was either in a blocked area, or not waiting long enougth. If you used your Polaris GPS with WM, you must know it takes a long time to get a fix (As far I understood, it must 'download' data from the satelittes, espacially time). you can speed up a bit using rapidGPS to download from internet (in WM) I don't know of any equivalent in Android.

However, yesterday, I gave it a long time in my pocket with GPStest on, outside, away from any building and tree, and I finally got a fix. then I switched to Maps, and I had a very acurate fix (though a got a couple of freeze). So yes GPS is working (Nym's donut on NAND 20.02.2010.NBH from sourceforge and gps files generated with haret on SD card).

I'd say I think it works, but the chip isn't that great.

Now I'd be looking for an app that would tag picture from the camera with GPS position.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Hi! I updated the first post in order to make things more clear for newbies. Please, check the "work", "doesn't work" section to see if it's right as I think wifi, GPS, bluetooth, and some other hardware is problematic as far as I know, and it works only under some very specific conditions.

Thanks for your testing and, of course, for developing!

Hi

after i flashed NBH file for android. my device is HTC Cruise i got small font and pic that means wrong NBH file

problems are

1-how to get into Bootloader screen to reflash new

NBH file tried (Camera + power + Soft reset ) and noway

2-which better NBH file for my device to get good resolution
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niofar:
Hi, i installed polymod in my pola100 with the POLAIMG-PANEL1-320.NBH (2010-02-20 - eclair) os loader.

This build is slowest than Warm Donut but wi-fi and audio are working fine without other updates.

BT is not working, but i don't tried updates.

The best (fastest) build for me is Warm Donut, but i have problems with audio, wi-fi and bt.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Racky:
1. With the phone closed, press "power + camera"

2. I think 320 because this is the native resolution for this phone.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] xTc68:
problem black screen

Hi guys !

i use your tutorial to flash my polaris on Android.

I have used the romupdateutility to flash it, with this nbh: polaimg-panel3-320-31-03-10.nbh

When the flash was completed, the htc phone has restarting, after some seconds i has seen some color lines.

But now, i have a black screen and i can do nothing....

I can't enter in bootload mode to go back....

Is my POLARIS crached ?

Thks

ps: sorry for my english :)

Edit:

Omg, god exist !!! lol

To enter in bootload mode with Android, power your device; hold the photo button & power on..... ;)

But finally, what's wrong, have had make a mistake ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] tomcathp:
yes, but after doing this the polaris is connected with USB.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Does anybody know if the new .NBHs by DZO (08-04-10) work with wifi, BT and so on ** in Eclair 2.1 ** (msmisson's or Polymod)??

http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D (all the files are there)

I have a well configured Windows Mobile build and I don't want to flash it until I'm sure that it will fix at least wifi and audio problems.

Thanks!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
does anyone tried this .NBH with a Pola200 device?

aitsch
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
I suppose that the kernel 08-04-10 from dzo is included in this .nbh file.

I've tried zImage-08-04-10 with my pola200.

- no wifi / not bt with eclair2.1 (installed on sd partition)

- no wifi / not bt with myn's warm donut (installed on sd partition)

Are we so doomed? have we to lose our faith?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
been a very long time since we got a useful build, so i would say yes, we are doomed
[Touch Cruise Android Development] criosray:
/awaiting on HTC Desire...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] manu33xtro:
Hi all,

but no ... I think we should keep the faith! Many developers working on the subject. We are not far from the goal ...

Cheers.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
i would say 'NO'. as you can see the polaris has an adequate hardware for android but for the moment it seems to be that there is no main developer who feels responsible for polaris demands. dzo makes sometimes some fixes for us but i think its only a flavor. his main focus is the vogue. i hope there will be an adequate person soon - hopefully with an own polaris.

for the moment i miss an universal polaris-wifi fix for the latest dzo kernels but i am not sure if we have a benefit from all the changes (or only some of then) between 20.feb. and today. i never understood the reason why wifi works in past but not after 20.02. i didn't follow the whole technical discussion but i am sure there is a good reason for it.

to flash android to nand i need an reliable and stable kernel which support the main functions (bt i can abandon for the moment).

the way i see it we are far away to have this situation so long as we have no qualified person with motivation to make all these changes.

we have to wait.
