cannot install Android Port and Startup Utility [03/25/10] on my htc touch pro 2

I can't install the [CAB] GSM Project Android Port and Startup Utility [03/25/10] Auto Update & App Mgr.

When I try to install the CAB-File, I get the message that installation failed.

When I try to install by unpacking the RAR file, and try to run HARET, I get the error message, that either a file cannot be found or the certificate cannot be trusted. What am I doing wrong?

I put the CAB-fille into the root of my SD-Card. And I unpacked the RAR-File an copied everything from ANDBOOT to the root of my SD-card.

for people with initrd.gz errors

rename the initrd file in \storage card\andboot\initrd to initrd.gz or whatever file name your set initrd points to

from the startup.txt

set initrd initrd.gz but for some reason on the andboot the extension is missing.

when you see r4:00000000 you should see 4 tiny boxes on the upper left corner of your screen (screen calibration) go a head a tap those boxes followed by the other corners and the device should boot to the android welcome screen.

One more question, please.

How to change the wallpaper back to the default one ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
thats a good question, also how do we get the nexus one live background?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] grazykid:
hellooo

hey there, any way I can increase the screens sensitivity? Cheers!:rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] psyopstt:
Don't remember if live wallpaper is installed by default but if you check the folder called android apps or something similar to that there should be a couple of livewallpaper .apk packages install those and it should work. Tap and hold an empty area if everything worked out you should see an option for live wallpapers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hollovoid:
Well finally gave this a spin, definitely impressed. Using the onscreen keyboard in android is much nicer than the stylus friendly keyboard in winmo on tilt 2. I love the no hangups, and overall responsiveness of this. once sound and cam are working, this is gonna be my fulltime. Thanks to all

Hanging on r4:00000000

I also have a t-mo Touch Pro 2 which is hanging on r4:00000000. The device does not prompt for calibration with the little squares, there is no ts-calibration entry, and, yes, initrd is named as initrd.gz.

After hanging for a few minutes, it gives an INFO: task rpcrouter: 15 blocked for more than 120 seconds, several more lines stuff and then hangs again on r4:0000000. Same sequence again after a couple of minutes.

I tried updating all the packages, but that didn't help either.

Any other ideas?

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

Problem Solved: Apparently, this means the the SD can't be mounted. So, I reformatted my 8GB SD with FAT32 1024 block size, replaced all my files and re-installed the cab. All is good now.

As you can see in the first post, sound doesn't work.

Just rename initrd to initrd.gz.

Please read the topic before asking. Both questions where already answered multiple times.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Redmen2011:
Okay guys,

First of all, I want you to know that I think what you are doing is amazing and I absolutely love the idea of being able to have android software on my TP2. So thank you all very much for your hard work.

Now..

I seem to be having a little problem loading the software.

This is what I have done so far:

1. Downloaded .CAB to desktop

2. Copied .CAB over to my SD card

3. Cleared everything on my SD card for the ProjectAndroid Program

4. Installed the ProjectAndroid .CAB directly to my SD chip

5. Opened the ANDBOOT folder

6. Changed the name of initrd to initrd.gz in the ANDBOOT folder

Heres the issue:

Even after changing the name to initrd.gz, im still getting and error says, " Failed to load file\Storage Card\andboot\initrd.gz". I then click okay in the top box, and I get a pop up window saying "Launch a script file. Default path is the same where the executable lives." Then there is a box below that says "default.txt" and a run icon next to it.

Please help me out guys, I dont know what I am doing wrong but I really want to have this android software on my TP2 seeing how WinMo 6.1 sucks.

Thank you in advance for any responses :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sd73ta:
you could download one from here. Or run the update and see if that works
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
Also try it without renaming the "initrd".

For example if you download initrd-20100328-d4cd3e8.gz, and u try to rename it on your phone just right click and erase the "-20100328-d4cd3e8" dont add the .gz or else it will be something like this initrd.gz.gz and when u lunch android it wont find it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vudu:
I just tried the 3/25 cab last night and had the same problem. I tried updating, still the same issue. Then I renamed the initrd to initrd.gz and while I was in the directory, ran the haret.exe file and it worked. I haven't tried running it from the Start menu since, so not sure if it worked because of renaming the initrd file or because I ran haret.exe directly.

Thanks developers. At least this allows me to play with Android to decide whether I want to leave WM now. After a few hours though, I don't know whether Android is that much better...it might all depends on what apps are available, but I like 6.5.5 just fine as an OS. I think I might just want faster/better hardware, not a different OS. Will play with Android some more...but the EVO 4G doesn't come out for another few months. :-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] huggs:
Yay!

Just tried it from the start menu, confirmed working. Thanks for the post, I too couldnt get haret to start.

Also, I installed the Gen Y Dualboot .cab separately, and in the dualboot os choices screen it says Android Missing.

Can anybody tell me what GenY is looking for, like why it cant find Android on my SDc, and if possible the best simplest way to fix it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Redmen2011:
Hey guys,

Thank you for all of your responses they were highly appreciated.

However, I am really new at this stuff, and I was wondering if someone could be so kind as to give me a step by step instruction on how to fix my problem. If you read my last post then you will understand that I am having trouble launching haret because it is saying that the initrd file failed to boot.

I would love to have android up and running on my TP2 soon if possible, thank you so much guys, your work is highly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Josepi :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Redmen2011:
WOOHOO (:

Okay so I am happy to say that I figured out what I was doing wrong and I now have the android software on my phone! (:

Here's my problem now:

When I boot into the android software, I turn it on, I skipped the creation of the google account. Why do I have no service whatsoever? I try to make a phone call, it says not registered on the network. Please get back to me and tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thank you guys so much for creating this software! Its great!

Best Regards,

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vim0314:
is there any difference between installing the cab file or just coping the rar file into my sd card?

good job guys! and keep up the work! thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Redmen2011:
To vim0314

Yes there is a difference, install the .CAB directly to your SD card for best quality, from there you may need to download a new copy of the initrd which is available in a link above thanks to sd73ta. Put that file in your ANDBOOT folder on your SD card, delete your original initrd first, and then rename that file initrd. Then you are all set to launch haret.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Redmen2011:
Still need some help ):

I have the android software successfully running on my phone as of now. However I cant figure out why it will not connect to the network, and why I cannot make phone calls. Love the OS however, its "the balls". So I am really hoping that some one can help me out because as soon as I can get my phone/sms/web up and running I have myself what is to me a brand new phone. Im thinking that once I get my phone to connect all of those will work but I am not sure. Please Help Me!!:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] stab244:
If you're on a CDMA network, it will not work with your phone. You have to go get the CDMA version of Android. Link to it can be found on the first post.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] godfa7h3r:
Really appologize if this has been answered... I dug through the tread as much as I could and couldn't find a solid answer.

I downloaded the RAR version and also got the latest update. Did the whole rename to initrd.gz thing and got the right startup.txt placed. Haret loads up and I let it sit for a few minutes until the screen goes completely black (where the nexus one load screen would usually be). I then let that sit for a long time and nothing ever happens. I then tap on the screen and hit a few hard keys to see what's up and all I get are random characters on the screen and a few say something about 'unmapped key'.

I feel like this is an easy fix and I'm just forgetting something. Can anyone quick help?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gehzumteufel:
That's all well and good, but can't they merge this into the regular build tree? The less number of simultaneous builds the better.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Redmen2011:
A humungous thanks

I just thought I would say that after 8 hours of working on getting this android OS on my phone, and all the help that you folks have given me, it is finally on my phone, with the network working!

I also want to let anyone know that if they need help loading the CDMA version onto the Touch Pro 2, I would be more than happy to help them. Just shoot me a private message, and if your having trouble I will certainly be happy to assist you because the android OS is 10000000000000000000000% worth it and if your running WinMo 6.1 then you will be so much happy with this Operating System.

I do have a few more questions for the people on here however.

1. Is there a way to load my contacts from the WinMo part of my phone to the Android part of my phone?

2. Is there a way that when I turn the phone on I can immediately just have it load up Android as an option instead of booting it and the running the HARET.exe

3. Will there eventually be sound, camera, and GPS on these builds? (And is there any way that I can help to make this possible)

I would love to hear responses and I am so happy I found this site.

I never thought that my TP2 could amount to anything like this. Its almost like magic having this OS on here, I feel so much more empowered and am excited to explore my phone further.

Thank you all so very much.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sd73ta:
1. Read the wiki in my signature or for google sync

2. Install dual boot

3. Yes
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] InjecTioN:
Yes, this is possible. The "only" thing you have to do is this:

1. Use Active Sync to connect to Microsoft Outlook.

2. Sync all your contacts, and delete any contacts if necessary.

3. Now in order to upload it to your google-account, you have to export all of your contacts from Outlook to a .CSV-file (comma separated value). You can do this by clicking "File" in the Menu bar, and selecting "Import and Export...", and following this procedure:

4. Now you have to browse to the contacts-page of your gmail-account. All the way to the right you can select "Import".

5. You click on "Browse" (in the screenshot it's "bladeren") and navigate to the .CSV-file you've just made. Once this is done, you can click "Import", and your contacts are being transfered.

Dual-bootloader ;)

Of course there will be sound and GPS and camera and bluetooth and everything else, but the geniuses working on it just can't work that fast. Look how far they came by now!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] huggs:
Anybody know how I can get GenY working? I'm sure it's something really simple, but since I have no way of knowing what specific file it looks for. All I have done is installed the Android .cab and I had to rename the initrd file to initrd.gz to get Android to boot, then I installed the GenY .cab, and it always saya Android Missing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nagle3092:
Could anyone give me a rundown on how I would set this up for a Fuze. I edited the startup.txt slightly to match what settings where in the startup texts for the fuze other than that I havent modified anything. Right now its just sitting at a black screen, been that way for about 2 min or so. I'm guessing its going through the long initial boot since the nexus screen is disabled with the hw3d.force=1. If anyone would have any helpful insight on how to get this going any better it would be greatly appreciated.

I will post any helpful things I can figure out but I'm sure that wont be much.

Edit: ok up and running I had to remove the hw3d.force=1 from the start up text and I added everything from the fuze startup.txt to the default one except for the clock parameters, I left those the same. And this thing is WAY faster than the build I was using from the Raph thread. The only problem is the keyboard its a bit off as its configured for the Tilt2, I had to pick one from the selection screen at the beginning so I figured Id stay with the AT&T version. Other than that this is great thank you so much guys. Hopefully all builds for different devices will get a streamlined startup like this.

Are we sure hardware acceleration is really working? I don't see any difference with or without the switch enabled, except for the nexus one boot screen not showing up with enabled. Scrolling doesn't seem any smoother, and any 3d app I try either runs dirt slow or doesn't work. Even video that runs fine in windows mobile runs about 1-2fps in android. I know a lot of work needs to be done and I appreciate all the hard work that has been done, I'm just hoping that this isn't the best we'll get on acceleration.

Android/ SMS Issue with TP2

Having an issue with the CDMA of the Android build...

Phone is fully functional, WiFi is fully functional, However SMS is only half working.

It seems that I can send a text message and start a conversation with someone, and they can reply. However, conversations cannot be started with me. Meaning I will not recieve the text message of a new conversation.

Any advice would be great.

The startup utility is currently only for the Rhodium and if you use it to launch Android, it will change your keyboard to a Rhodium keymap. The .rar will work though, and it does have the needed startup.txt for the Kovsky inside the .rar to use for the correct setup, which you will need to add into your "andboot" folder. You will also have to navigate to your "andboot" folder using a file explorer and run haret.exe manually.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] M_T_M:
Already did...sorry I did not specified that. :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] TheQuadrupleB:
I found that after I renamed the file, it did not work (possibly a soft reset required?). However, I used the automatic update utility and everything was fine. In fact, if you just run the update before naming it, all should work.

At least that was my experience running this on Tmo TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] M_T_M:
This is what I did:

1-Downloaded to memory card

2-Soft reset

3-Run Android from start menu

4-Encountered issue "Failed to load file\Storage Card\andboot\initrd.gz"

5-Researched

6-Renamed file from initrd to initrd.gz

&Attemptted to re-run and encountererd "Failed to load file\Storage Card\andboot\initrd.gz"

7-Removed and re-installed.

And finaly typed all of this into this fine website's forum :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sd73ta:
I think this is why so many people are having problems. I dont think they understand that renaming it on the phone gives it a double .gz.gz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] TheQuadrupleB:
Try the update utility.

Also, the post above me points out an issue. The phone wont find intrd.gz.gz just as it wouldn't get the original, so double check that.

My process was this

1. Installed CAB to memory card

2. Ran Android (Failed to load file\Storage Card\andboot\initrd.gz)

3. Renamed intrd to intrd.gz

4. Ran Android - Same problem

5. Used update utility (press Menu then select Update)

6. Wait a little bit :)

7. Bingo, works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nagle3092:
I think it depends on what they use to rename it. I had the same problem and I used Total Commander to rename it and then it worked just fine. I think I might have loaded right from haret immediately after renameing..........can't remember.

Also...

Another way to successfully rename it, with file explorer, is to press and hold on it, and in the pop-up menu, choose properties and add the .gz in there. Choosing "rename" wouldnt allow me to even try n rename it, but properties worked fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Broman400:
This is for the Rhodium aka Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2 which is completely different from your 2 your old HTC p3400i. Here is the forum for your phone: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=408
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
if you added the .gz and see it in file explorer, youve added it twice and have initrd.gz.gz rather than initrd.gz. this is why i would recommend a file browser like total commander that way you can actually see the file extension.
