I saw these on eBay a few days ago, you should give them a try and post back about the quality/ease of installation. I myself haven't purchased or tried it before, so uh, buy at your own risk haha

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

EDIT: I did a bit of research on replacing the G1 housing. It looks like that these after-market housings often aren't made as precise as they should be and therefore fitting all the tiny parts in the G1 perfectly becomes difficult and even risky. Also, the installation procedure is very time consuming and if you aren't careful, you can permanently damage your phone. Again, buy and try at your own risk.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] absoffthewake:
Hey there, I have a Touch Pro with Windows 6.5. I have turned off the HTC dialer, so I'm using the stock dialer.

Everything is working fine (thanks to the Auto Lock provided by CSDevCtrl), exept I'm annoyed 5-10 times a day by the difficultly of getting to the keypad. When I receive a call from my work, I have to press 1 to accept, so I have to click unlock, keypad, then 1. Anyway to skip any steps? Maybe set to go directly to keypad when the call is connected?

This could also be useful for pressing extentions, voicemail passwords, etc.

My imate pda2k aka blueangel hangs up. This happened after i pulled the mem card out of the unit while still in the middle of the process.

I tried restarting the unit but it happens that it keeps hanging up after entering windows mobile.

Its blue light on the left is blinking as well.

tried hard resetting of the unit with no avail. tried the modified version of resetting it and still no luck.

I have windows mobile 6.5.1 .

Would there be any chance of repairing it or is it already bricked?

Before taking it to some tech man, could you have any idea on how to fix this?

Flash Blue Angel/Qtek 9090 from SD Card

Hi,

I always thought myself pretty techincal, but for the first time in my life I'm going to have to accept I'm doing an English degree and not advanced programming.

Exactly one week ago I decided to load my Qtek 9090 with the theme (as I thought at the time) of Windows 6.5. This, stupidly, was not the case. I copied, for some unknown reason, Enterbl.exe my SD Card and opened...Well, I think think we all know what happens now: 'Serial V2.08'.

This screen doesn't change, no matter what I do. I haven't flashed any rom to it, and solely clicked on Enterbl.exe (Even though this was a horrendous thing to do.) A week later I'm still none the wiser.

I recently bought this device of ebay, and so have no usb cable for it,and so if I need to 'flash the rom' I can only do this via a 1g 'Memorex SD card'. I have researched many forums, and a lot of have said I can, others have said I can't. I can't get a header for the sd card as I don't have a cable or dock.

I do really like this device and don't like seeing it stuck in the serial bootscreen. I do hope someone can help. If they can I am more than willing to donate money to them for their time.

I look forward to your responses.

(I was running Windows Mobile 2003SE - Compact framework 3.5

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
This may be a silly question, but did you try to take out the SD card out of the phone and then remove the battery/soft reset? If Enterbl is present in the SD card and there is anything pointing to that exe in your device, maybe removing it would fix it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] studentpaps:
Updated amount offered....

Hey mate!

Cheers for the quick reply, unfortunately I deleted the file off the sd card straight away after the error to see if this was the case; unfortunately this was done to no avail!

I must add that there is no sd card in the device at the moment and no sim card..

So, all I have is a device that just has a screen stuck on Serial V2.08. No other screen appears, no matter what variation of keys I press:

Power+hard reset

Camera+Record+Hard reset+power

etcetera, etcetera

If people want to discuss this with me using a different medium other than on the forum please email me (Nick) at youdamright24@hotmail.com

I would like, simply, just to explain my issue again:

1)Placed bootloader.exe on my sd card

2)Placed sd card into my device

3)Stupidly clicked it

4)All that remains is the screen "Serial V2.08" (No other screen can be entered.

All I want to do is update the rom using a 'Memorex 1Gb SDcard I don't mind if it's the Windows Mobile 2003Se rom or the updated Windows Mobile 5 or 6.5, etc.

If any one can tell me how to do this WITHOUT USING ANY CABLE TO A PC I'd be greatly appreciated. (I can't get the header for the SD card as I don't have the cable)

If someone can give me a good step by step I'll actually now give them £35 (Around $50) via paypal (more than I paid for the phone itself) -I would love to have WM6.5 rom as well (cheeky I know)

I look forward to your responses..

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
yep, that should probably do the trick, taking out the sd card and performing a soft reset, if then, you don't get any further than the 4 colour screen, a hard reset.

and while many of us would like sd card flashing, it is not really working for the BA, unless you have a master device and a mtty connection through a cradle. so i guess, if you are willing to spend money on a solution to flash your device, you should probably invest 3pounds in a usb cable and just flash the regular way.

i received my additional usb cable today. it was a usb cable, with an AC-usb adapter, and a car charger usb adapter for 10eur, so, what is that, like 6 pounds?

another advantage is, ordering on ebay will be faster than waiting for someone to code something. hope this was helpful. if you can import from germany, i can send you ebay links for cheap cables.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
Unfortunately, Chef's right. You are indeed better off getting a cable of eBay, which will cost you faaaar less. (not that I wouldn't appreciate a $50 cup of coffee though :D)

I could try to make an image of a prepped SD card for you to use, but I am uncertain if this would even work. Let me see what I can do when I get home...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] studentpaps:
In response to Chef_Tony

I understand I can order the cable from ebay, but I feel, even if it is more expensive, that it'd be a worthwhile resource to have online, for people that may be in the same situation....and don't own a cable.

I will leave this up for two days, if it can't be solved at all, then I will just have to order a cable; I would still be more amazed if this could be resolved...It'd make me prouder, anyway, rather than backing down and getting a cable.

There must be a way to flash the Blue Angel/Qtek 9090 from the SD Card (not using one single cable ) and I'm more than happy to spend £35 on it to see if done. I can't do it myself, unfortunately, but feel there must be someone out there that can, or, that has succesfully completed a full flash from an sd card to the Blue Angel...

So, for two days, I'll keep this post here, if it's not resolved and can't be done..then at least all owners know, without a cable, there is ABSOLUTELY know way this process can be performed...

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
Image Ready.

The attached download is a torrent, which I am seeding myself. Open it and get. I will seed this for only one week. You will need Winhex and a 1 GB card (you really need a 64 MB card but this is the smallest I had. The torrent is an image of a 1GB card and you will need WinHex to remount it (I think). I will try to get my hands on a different card (if I can) to make the download smaller, but I cannot promise you anything.

Give it a go and I will be waiting for the bounty (when it works :D)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] studentpaps:
I response to the torrent

Believe me, if you manage to have fixed this problem you deserve a medal, not simply £35. I'm still waiting for the torrent to download (the fluctuating speeds mean it jumps from 0.2k to 136kb every 10 secs)

I've downloaded winhex....is this process of remounting simply a case of selecting the winhex file and selecting my sd card? D:?

--

'File'

'Restore Image'

'Selecting winhex file'

??

If you could just inform me briefly how to mount this image using winhex I'd

be extremely grateful...

studentpaps
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] studentpaps:
Right

I now have the image file and winhex (full version)

I am absolutely clueless...I hasten to add.....

Right, let me tell what I'm doing step by step

1)Open the BASDimg winhex file.

2)The program opens and asks:

'write sectors immediately to disk'

'Export sectors into a raw headerless image file'

(Which one do I click?)

I've tried the 'write sectors immediately to disk'

When I have a look on the 1gb memory disk it just shows sectors 001, etc.. there doesn't seem to be an img file.

Place into my device and nothing happens...I press camera, power and reset...still nothing...in fact... ever since I clicked the bootloader.exe on the device I haven't seen a single change of screen from the Serial v2.08...

I'm completely bewildered by all this....

I know I'm completely wasting your time with all this (you will get rewarded in the end, I suppose) but what should I be clicking on and what files should be on my sd card, so that when I restart my blue angel device it'll be recongized?

Basically and simply I'm asking what to do when I'm in winhex to save the image file to my sd card.

Seriously, thanks for all your help so far...you've been brilliant..even though my malcontent has got me nowhere..

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
and i already answered to your new thread ;)

i think you will like the roms that i offered you there, although none of those are wm5. talking about bricks is bad luck by the way ;)

and it is not the rom that "bricks" the device but mistakes made while flashing, it could also happen with an official rom, if for instance, flashed from windows vista/7 without taking care of the difficulties that come with those OSs first. the blueangel is afaik not really "brickable". most BAs will always be saved, even if they look stuck in bootloader mode or splash screen, but reading how to flash first will save you any trouble and risk.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
Thanks. I will look and see why it didn't work on yours. I flashed on mine and everything went fine, but then again, I didn't "remount" the image on it. I simply used the card as I got it from the preparation method. I still think it should work though.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] man31:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_SpaZ:
This has been an ongoing problem with my G1, related to modded ROMs from what I can tell.

I suppose I should point out, before going into my problems, that I am indeed a noob.

So, back to when I first got my G1.

Quite quickly, I decide I want to root my phone. I follow Cyanogen's guide through every step, and I am able to boot. Cyanogenmod works fine for about a couple weeks.

Suddenly, while I'm listening to music and on the home screen, the screen seems to tear, I suppose you could call it. I don't know the real term for it; it's a problem that usually occurs when programs use indirect allocation of memory. This causes my screen to freeze. When I hit the power button, followed by the menu button (to turn off and on the screen) the backlight turns on, but there is no display. Restarting does nothing, no G1 screen and no recovery.

Just pulling the battery for a brief amount of time seemed to fix it. This quickly stopped working, forcing me to flash ROMs until I had enough of a screen to go back to scratch. It used to only happen when multitasking on the home screen, but with a modded rom, this has started to occur even on boot. Eventually I had to go back to using unrooted OTAs.

I've had this happen with TheOriginal AOSP 1.6, Cyanogenmod 4.2.14.1, and Super-D 1.9.2. I've tried both Amon's and Cyanogen's recovery images, with and without the Danger SPL. Actually, the Danger SPL would stop the screen after a shutdown.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on or if I can run modded roms on my phone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billquinn1:
Please post what you have on your SD card, partitions, sizes, like that. Make your self a signature with all that stuff and you'll only have to do it once.

Also include if you are running swap compcache or whatnot. I know some of the roms you tried do some of those by default.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_SpaZ:
I'm still using the 1gb that comes with the phone with one FAT32 partition, should be getting a 8gb class 6 tomorrow. I had tried using a 256mb ext3 and a 64mb swap, but reformatted in case that was the problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billquinn1:
I have to admit, I was thinking the same thing. I have never tried one of the modded roms without the ext partition but it should run fine. Usually slow downs that occur over time are cache (swap) related.

I would get your new card, partition it using amon-ra, wipe everything, and use the newest super D.

If it still fails, you may want to look for a stock version. There should be one here somewhere with only root added.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_SpaZ:
Alright, just got the new card. Should be done with all installing within a few hours. Fingers crossed, eh?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
<crosses fingers> lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_SpaZ:
Hmm, phone is acting even weirder than before. As of right now, I get my screen back every reboot, but with a custom rom, it fails on boot. The boot screen will freeze, followed by a backlit black screen. I'll keep trying, but I thought I'd see if anyone had any helpful tips, perchance?

(This is attempting to get Super-D going, although I had tried Cyanogenmod earlier with the same result. Downgrading with the dreaimg.nbh still boots fine, however.)

E: Although I'm not sure what exactly did it, it seems to be working now... for now. The fact that the glitch was similar but still improved gives me hope, however. :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_SpaZ:
Crap, it died again on me using Cyanogenmod with Enoch, both fully updated. Anyone know where one of those stock with root roms are?

E: Actually, better yet, anyone know if there's any way I can tell what I'm doing with my black screen? I'm trying to apply stuff with RA-dream, but it's kinda hard, what with the lack of vision and what-not.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
you can do a logcat right before it goes out connect your phone to your comp and do adb logcat and do everything your normally would do and if it goes out again and you see a significant in the log from the phone dying then copy that text and post it here. maybe someone can help out.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_SpaZ:
Ah, I may have explained badly. I've no display at all; no G1 logo, recovery console, or spl. They still work, though. Alt + T while in the recovery console still throws it into USB mode.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vixsandlee:
If you install the android sdk on your PC, you can use the USB lead to log all activity on your phone.

You would then see where it is crashing (and with any luck why)

It would be painfull because it seems random and intermittant, but atleast you would know why and have a point to look at.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] slm4996:
First off this would not be possible without the work of many devs in many places. Some of the builds that have really helped get this done:

The base build I started with:

[Android] Eclair 2.1 by mssmison

Builds/Devs that helped me get this far:

polymod 2.1 alpha 4 by polyrhythmic that is itself is based on openeclair 1.1.5

dzo, wesgarner, ctso, many more who have contributed to openeclair

Please try both of these and My build and post your results, I want to know what works and what doesn't. It also will help to know what works better on whose build.

Here it is folks Android running from NAND on your kaiser/tilt!

What works:

WIFI - you no longer need a calibration file from Windows Mobile.

GPS

Phone

Sleep

Battery - See here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5695425&postcount=126

What doesn't:

Bluetooth? I have random results still

Camera

Youtube

Jbed - read thread for working install and instructions

I am in no way liable for whatever may happen to you or your phone!

This will erase/replace windows mobile.

How to get it:

Step one:

If you do not have the latest nbh get dzo's from here:

http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D

or vilord's

http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/

and flash it to your phone.

Step two:

Perform a hard reset on the phone, then remove the battery.

Step three:

Download my package and place the androidinstall.tar in the andboot folder on the root of your sd card.

Old link for reference only -Version 1.0

Old link for reference only -Version 1.1 Update Patch

Pre-Patched Version 1.1

Place your sd card in your phone put the battery back in and power it on.

Watch the screen and once it tells you to press and hold the D-Pad center button (do it fast!).

Choose the install option and answer "Yes" when it asks to clear your data.

Step four:

Choose quit and wait for the big green android!

If you get a second google account setup screen after entering your info once just hit the home button or reboot.

*notes*

Starting wifi during the initial setup works but the setup app FC's and goes back to the start wifi screen. The wifi actually does start but you cannot choose a network until you complete setup.

You must have a sd card to boot (not with vilord's kernel)

LCD density is set to 160 as I believe with a 320x480 nbh yields the best usability and market selection.

I the screen flips the wrong way instead of going back to portrait mode open "spare parts" and uncheck "launcher rotation"

(you can also go to Settings "Sound and Display" and uncheck Orientation")

(Works on polaris and vogue as well)
