[Touch CDMA Android Development] stradh2:
i think im going to give you a detailed info, just to be sure and see if i have any problems. Currently my device has WinMo 6.1 (not sure if it makes a difference). A few months back i had tried to install android on the phone following the steps on the guide posted here, but i got stuck on the same screen (back then i dont think i unlocked the phone). Few days back i saw the post on Gizmodo and wanted to give it another shot.

FIRST thing i did was unlock the phone using coke 2.31...something something, i think you know what im talking about. As far as i can tell, phone should be unlocked i dont know if there is a way to check (if there is please inform me).

Today i read various posts, that indicated installin radio bell 2.4.3 and SUPERCID etc ( i did NOT do any of this). When i finally found this post followed it to the T. On step 6 i downloaded the 240x320 froyo nbh file. and i used the other provided downloads in the post.

I have no problem pressing the volume key "up" which takes me to the menu. On the menu Sys on NAND is checked, DATA on NAND is checked, thats all. i press install, follow the prompts, at the end of install it says "save exit: is checkpointed" at this point it taked me to the menu again without any notification. On my menu i have 10 options"

1. instal

2. fix permissions

3. clear dalvik

4. install update

5. backup/ data

6.restore data

7. wipe data

8. reinstall app_s

9. start recovery mode

10. quit

naturally i choose quit as the guide says, and im brought to the screen that says "mount" mounting/data/sysfiles on /system/etc/app failed :no such file or directory"

at the very bottom " ANDROID [ 5.069359] init:unable to open persistent property directory/data/property errno:2

and thats where im always stuck. If any of you guys could help me out, id appreciate it. im one step short of takin pics and posting them for a more clearer explanation.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shabicht:
hmm, I am not too sure what to tell you...

to check if your phone is unlocked all you have to do is go to the bootloader (tricolour screen) by holding power and camera and then pushing the soft reset button. On there it should say CoKE 2.31 if it is properly unlocked.

You should update to the newest radio if possible. this will give the best signal and best GPS reception. I am running bell 3.42.50, but i am with bell, if you are with another carrier I am not 100% sure what you should be running.

The only other thing I can think of is that you are using a Froyo .nbh and presumably trying to install MYN's warm eclair from the OP. that could be causing problems. I would suggest either downloading an eclair .nbh to use with the rom you have, or a froyo rom to use with the .nbh you have.

the latter can be had here

good luck!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] stradh2:
ok, i have incubus super theme pack which has androidinstall.tgz, thats the rom youre talking about correct? the one i should place on the sd card?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shabicht:
yup that's the one I was thinking of, just go ahead and put that in the andboot folder.

I hope that works for you
[Touch CDMA Android Development] stradh2:
alright, its on the SD card, im guessing i should start from step 9, right? i will post my success/fail story
[Touch CDMA Android Development] stradh2:
HAHA!! it works, at least im on the welcome screen, it says learn how to use your european vogue...but im residing in South america ( i brought it from US,NY) anyway, THANK YOU so much for putting up with my queries =)

finally yay i got it, and its awersome. but would somebody plz do a button layout to indicate just what each button dose,

FOUND A BUTTON LAYOUT THANKS THOUGH
[Touch CDMA Android Development] blazingangel1986:
ok here we are, i got through the install process fairly easily once i calmed down a bit and re read and will say truly the easiest guide, as i have been flashing winmo roms since forever this was new and i like it, i think i got my edge working i see the symbol and it says connected in the modem but the browser isnt finding a home page, and my camera dose not work, i don't really care about wifi i haven't tested it yet but i don't care about it. im using Myn's Warm Donut RLS5 (for Kaiser only)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shabicht:
Great I'm glad you were able to get it going! It really is like having a totally new phone...

also with regards to the european vogue, I am in canada and mine says that as well. I don't think it is a problem I think they just used the european one because it has more regional options and things that are not U.S. specific.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] blazingangel1986:
somebody told me that it may have something to do with the nbh where using, if i can get my hands on another or somebody tells me exactly wich one im supposed to be using lol that will be a great help, also btw google maps always crash for me, idk if its because of the gps or if it just isnt working. any clue on your end. there is a fix out there for wifi i know that much. i just found out today it dosent work lol :P i know n00b mistake. but im a fast learner im going to get the hang of this asap. glad to know everybody on this forum is nice enough to help out

[Touch CDMA Android Development] blazingangel1986:
Yeah from what ive read, and currently experienced the donut builds work better than anything else with better compatibilty for our devices. Myn's Warm Donut RLS5 (for Kaiser only) ans then theres the RLS4 they both work great.

I never did ask but what device are you using, if your using a kaiser, tilt i can continue to help you out, if not i can always help you search and point you in the right direction
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tablo:
Thanks blazingangel1986. I'm using a Touch vogue. I should have thought to use a more stabilized version given this is my first time flashing my phone.

Crapola. Phone keeps freezing on this Linux boot screen. Is there any way to get back into WM so that I can access the SD to put in a different version?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] blazingangel1986:
its the excitement it gets to you, let me look around for the best build for you vouge, im PRETTY SURE myn has a vouge donut around

I just need to find out how to get access my SD again to get out of this frozen boot screen. Thanks for your help.

Edit - Sweet I just found my microSD card reader. So I will reformat my SD card directly though my computer and try again. Thanks, again.

When I run ROMUpdateUtility.exe with my device connected it says updating:

"From Image Version:

To Image Version: 1.0.MARTIN"

Is it supposed to say 1.0.MARTIN here?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tablo:
HOLY CARPS I have an android phone!!! Took me a while, but I got it working.

If anyone has similiar problems I had to use the wupdate the WM rom provided on the HTC site before it would take the android install. Thank you guys!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Spalla:
Quick question. Do I really need to reformat my SD card before installing a rom? I'm a little bit of a noob when it comes to NAND, and I got quite a bit of stuff on my microSD card. I'm hoping this doesn't take up that much space. :(

Error ruu update utility

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to flash my htc, but I'm having a tough time running the RUU Update Utility. I put the htc in bootloader and run the RUU, but when it tries to update at the time of "From Image Version

To Image Version: 1.0.MARTIN, "

he begins to load and when it reaches 33%, my htc simply restarts and the message in the RUU:" ERROR 270: UPDATE ERROR, The image file is corrupted. Please, check your update utility ".

What may be going wrong?

My HTC P3450 is a (Elf - GSM) with the ipl and spl 3.10.002 3.10.cmon (other ROMs I have already put it).

Do I have to download another RUU update utility? The RUU I got here was the same tutorial on page 1.

My operating system is windows xp sp2 and I have the activesync.

Can someone give me a hand?

Grateful.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrstak:
I'm interested in trying this out on my Vogue. I got a question though that I didn't see answered in the first couple of posts. Do I have to have my Vogue on Sprint's network before I flash to Android? I'm asking because I'm currently using a TP2 on Sprint and I don't really want to register to my Touch unless I have to. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] golfnz34me:
Are you trying to use one of the CDMA Vogue ROMS? As far as I know they won't work on the Elf (GSM) phones.

Look in the Elf section of XDA for compatible ROMs.

:confused:

Hi everyone:

Ive been struggling with trying to get android to work for the last day or so and I feel like im missing something real minor... so any help would be greatly appreciated.

the problem is this:

unlock went fine

flash of froyo nbh went fine

put everything I need on and sd card (or at least everything I think I need ... its a tgz not a tar... (image attached)

but when on go into the installation menu and select install on nand then install system, yes, yes.

formatting ... appears

waits for about 10 seconds then

\installing

tar... cant open file /sdcard/andboot/andriodinstall.tar : no file exists

then a it spits out a long list of no file exsits

until it boots me back to the menu...

what am I missing here??????????

ps on a telus vogue (cdma)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] WnG88:
Use 7-zip, un-tgz it, inside the tgz package you should see a .tar file. Use the .tar file instead.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bipbipbip:
ya its still not working same error message...

any other thoughts?

edit: I must have misread your post.

there is no .tar inside it is 2 folder system and data

I did un.tgz it the .tar it but it again had the same error message
[Touch CDMA Android Development] delivery_dragon:
Yeah it is, you can go into the install menu and backup your data into the SD card, or use an App called Titanium Backup
[Touch CDMA Android Development] superflysocal:
newbie questions:

what is the difference betwwen nbh and zimage files?

I am almost ready to flash Android to phone, instead of running Haret.

Just to clarify, can I do all this from sd card, or am I required to connect to PC?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
If you have a 2GB or smaller sd card, you should be able to do it. Otherwise you'll need a pc.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Thanks mrkite, I'll search and get procedures for flashing via sd card. Yes, I have a 512mb and a 2GB card
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Not quite understanding flash to nand using sd card without PC.

I need to put latest vogue.img on root of card, and the androidinstall.tgz I want in andboot folder and nothing else in there?

The, do I put phone in Recovery or Bootloader mode? And I don't quite understand how to put in each of those.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
VOGUIMG.NBH on root, yes (caps are required)

androidinstall.tgz in /andboot, yes

bootloader mode (power + camera + pinhole reset) to flash the nbh from sdcard, then

hold Volume Down during boot to access the android installer
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Excellent explanation, MrKite, thank you Again

VOGUIMG.NBH should be latest for Froyo, if going to Froyo, yes? I mean say 240X320 file? Just rename it properly

androidinstall.tgz latest from whichever version I want?

I think I might try this Android stuff on Nand.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shell123520520:
Will the jade can do
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
FroYo nbh for froyo build, yes

I personally like 240x320 but I'm sure you'd find LOTS of people who don't

latest androidinstall.tgz from fresh froyo, or incubus' super froyo.

i think you'll like it. :)

I would like to use my jade? ! OK?

Awesome tutorial! Just one question, the phone that I'm flashing is not active, its a friends phone and he's using a blackberry while I work on this phone, would I have any problems getting this phone to provision when we reactive it?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
unfortunately you need to have windows mobile loaded in order to activate and provision the phone as well as get data working for the first time. Once it's activated, you can then load on Android.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
what he said...plus, to expand on that answer, if you just want to play with Android now, then go ahead and flash it. You can always flash back to WinMo (to activate/provision) then to Android again any time you want. I actually flash to WinMo between Android flashes every time, just because I am OCD, lol. I have done it about 20 times.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kssaw:

I have tried several times based on the steps given above and hence i am still hitting an error saying "Update Error". The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility. After this, my HTC Touch will auto reboot to WM.

this forum is for touch cdma, and also works on some other gsm devices that are based on the Qualcomm MSM7200 / 7500 chipsets. Your GSM touch (elf/elfin?) has an OMAP processor. This will not work.

Unable to access the android install menu

I have unlocked my phone using 2.31 and am able to properly flash ROMs to the device. After flashing I am never able to enter the mentioned android install screen. The device boots linux and begins to load, however I never receive the prompt to press any buttons, and it then freezes with a message "rebooting in 3 seconds". I have tried holding the volume up and the d-pad center button at all sorts of different times to no effect. I have also tried almost every ROM available on the site listed in the tutorial and all fail to finish booting to the android installer, however the errors are different depending on the rom. While most get stuck saying "rebooting in 3 seconds" some indicate this is do to a kernel panic, while some mention other errors before freezing. Does anyone have any advice or insight into this issue.

some other notes:

Device is a vzw vogue

I have tried" relocking" with the older coke unlock software, reinstalling latest vzw wm6 rom and trying again to no effect (but would be willing to try again if someone thinks that is the issue)

yes, all of the ROMs that I used are for the vogue

I may be incorrect but it is my understanding that the ROM, if installed correctly, should boot to the android install screen regardless of which rom it is, SD card type, or other issues mentioned (as log as the ROm is for the correct device). I would believe that those problems would rear their heads only after the android install screen is reached so I am at a complete and total loss here.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] buenso80:
P3450 :-(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Right - the GSM touch. So, same issue after all.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] buenso80:
My phone is also called touch gsm? is it the same as "elf" ? what is an "elfin" then??

Very confusing. They "all" look alike...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
back when, htc phones had internal code names (elf, elfin, vogue, etc.), a 'public' name (HTC Touch) and, often a carrier specific name to boot (e.g., verizon xv6900.) Confusing as crap. they still have the code names and public names, but the carriers are doing a lot less rebranding than they used to

The elfin, AFAIK, was an updated version of the elf with better specs.

Thanks for the explanatory answer. It was very usefull. Sorry for my ignorance regarding to htc touch
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dislexicmofo:
I am going to try to clarify my previous post so that maybe someone can help or point me in the right direction. I have tried searching this thread, the forum, and the general kernel thread. I believe it to be an issue with the vogue ROM and my device but am still unsure of how to proceed and again, could be wrong. Basically I re-flashed a Verizon stock ROM using the same methods just to verify that it works. The method I used is described below. When I use this method with the vogue ROMs it also successfully flashes the ROM, however I am never able to enter the android install screen. Second, should I be seeing an android splash screen before the linux boot as in this video youtu.be/bwEP-6ynQVU? (yes I know it is a different device)

I did not create an account just for this question so please don't blow me off, I have read the site for a long time and used many devices, I guess I just never needed to ask a question.

1) Place desired ROM on the SD card and rename voguimg.nbh

Is it possible (and if it is, is it okay) to flash to Android via NAND without having the phone be activated on your carrier's network? I'm currently on Sprint with my TP2 but I'm just about to flash my old Vogue to Android. Was just wondering if I absolutely need to have the phone activated to install Android on it? Thanks.
