error 284 at step 11

Vogue cmda (verizon)

coke bootloader 2.31 (installed winmo 6.5 rom a while ago..)

windows 7 ult 64

really sorry if this has been answered already, i tried a search and was not very successful;

I followed the steps until 11 or 12, when i put phone in bootloader mode, connect it (it says usb now), and run ROMupdateutility with vogue nbh from referenced site. starts progress bar, goes pretty quick, 33%, 66%, 99%-done. then stays at 100% on phone screen but on romupdateutility says "update error 284" and "get ready for recovery steps". I have tried many times, i get same error every time.

thanks very much in advance for any advice.

update:

i had to flash verizon stock rom, i think it worked finally with ruu from nfsfan's rom. then of course the radio was reverted to 3.37.??

ok i got it finally to flash the nbh to install android. then got as far as install menu on my phone, installed it, rebooted, waited, and always ends with something like "mda to mddi busy, waiting.... rebooting in 3 seconds". and stops there.

so now i try flashing verizon original rom, alltel rom with minimum security cause i want to try and update the radio again to 3.42.50 maybe this fix the problem with android starting. now i am having problems again flashing any roms. i got nuvogue to work earlier but i am still want to flash a new radio.

btw flashing from linux never gives any results, even though it says successful it always goes back to bootloader on startup.

Difficulties with step 13...

Hello

I have followed this guide throughly and I am stuck at step 13. After installing the ROM, I can not get into the "Black and White" menu described in step 14. I have tried many combinations of timings and holds of the D pad button and the volume up slider in order to get into this menu. I have reinstalled the ROM (using ROMUpdateUtility.exe) and tried the previous 2 versions, all with the same results:

After unsuccessfully getting to the "Black and White" menu, the linux boot screen zooms past, and hangs on "Rebooting phone in 3 seconds..." where it will hang indefinitely, or until I reset the phone. I have attached a screen of the hung boot screen. I would love to get Android running on this old device.

Thanks in advance for your help!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
Do you have an SD card that is 2GB or bigger (SDHC card)? If so try with that. I think Linux/Android likes SDHC better for some reason.

Installed without a hitch

This is the first flashing of a rom I have ever done because I thought the instructions were so clear. It seemed to work great until I tried to use the gps and sending and receiving picture or sound files through text msg. I tried to reset the data, but it says system unavailible. Did I do something wrong on the install? I used the exact files linked in the tutorial on a verizon xv6900 with a 2gb sd card
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MikeMurphy:
Try redownloading the 320 nbh and reflashing it, assuming you have a vogue.

Use the 320 nbh and 320 build as it looks much sharper.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
These are going to be Android/ROM issues...there are many threads on how to get data working - it seems to be a common problem, and since smartphones use data for sending and receiving MMS, then most likely that will get solved when you figure out data.

I have just switched from Window mobile to Android instantly. Great and easy instructions! thank you!

Questions:

1. How do I recover all my PIMBackup files of contact list to Android?

2. Can I change key settings on this phone?

3. Where is a place to look for cool apps on Android?

4. Can I still be able to install programs like Garmin XT on Android?

Thank you!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
I should probably put a note in the first post about backing up your contacts first....I honestly do not know if there is a program that will backup Windows contacts, then restore them for Android (which is what I need since I have a CDMA phone - no SIM card), but at least I could put in a note about it.

You can search the Android Marketplace using this site...

http://www.androlib.com/

Garmin only runs on Windows Mobile, Palm and Symbian OS, not Android, but you could use CoPilot Live 8, like I do. It does not require a data connection...of you could wait a few months and TomTom will have an Android client out by this Summer.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tempe38:
Thanks so much for this guide, I was able to get my phone updated to the lastest build from plemen and it's going pretty smoothly so far. I had a bit of a mix up that caused me to delete my data file but oh well.

For Windows contacts, I originally had mine backed up to Outlook. You can export them from Outlook to a csv file and import that file into Gmail in your browser and Android will sync them to your contacts.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
I know that windows mobile and android both have apps called lookout. Thats what i used to backup contact from wm and restore to android
[Touch CDMA Android Development] josb0513:

Does this mean I have to go back to WM to rerun pimpbackup and get my list back then.. on with a program called lookout?

oh boy.... :confused:

hi guys. i am trying to get this NAND to work, but for some reason it doesnt like me. My card is formatted fat32. i only have andboot/androidinstall.tar in the root but it wont respond to my volume up button and it gives me the error message "unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno: 2" the odd thing is when i used the sdcard method for android, i could install it with myns 2/2/10 version. but it would never install with the 2/20/10 version. can anyone put me in the right direction.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
have you tried the middle of dpad instead of vol up?

do you have your tar in the andboot folder or on the root of your sd card?

It needs to be in the andboot folder

what size is your card?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
Well if you already flashed android to your phone then you have to just put them in 1 by 1 :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] lilkrazzie:
the tar file is in the andboot folder, and the folder is in the root. the card is 8gb sdhc. for some reason it just wont read the 2/20/2010 stuff. i've been using volume for the other versions and they work fine. but ill try the middle button.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
Make sure your using the latest NBH. It should prompt you to hold the d button or volume up. Should have to hold it for about 3 seconds. Then when you get to the installer menu select "install system" it will install it then brings you back to the menu choose exit and it should boot up. If it don't work try re-formatting your sd and add the files again. Make sure that the file in the andboot folder is a .tar file not a zip. Good luck.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
is your file named "RUU_signed.nbh" (this is case sensitive). I have seen the progress bar hang when the file is not named exactly that. (example: "Ruu_Signed.nbh" would cause this error). Make sure the extension is lower case also, ".nbh" not ".NBH"
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
Did you wait 5 minutes? You WILL get errors every time you boot Android on this phone, but it will eventually keep loading. Many people think that it is frozen because there is an error in the last line of the screen, but it is still loading usually.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
are there any other files in the andboot folder other than the installer TAR file? if so delete ALL of them except that file.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
All

I have modified STEP 13, to be more clear on how to bring up the Installer menu on boot-up. There should be no confusion now, and since the Volume button is awkward to use, I explained the D-Pad method.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] deltagamer:
So I FINALLY have android on NAND and it's because of this thread. Thank you so much. I never knew about the volume up step and that would explain why I could never get it to run...

[Touch CDMA Android Development] sd_matto:
AWESOME instruction set. Love it.

Problem is, I have a Sprint Titan/Mogul, so the .NBH file you provide (for the Vogue) does not work. What goes into the .NBH? And, how easy/difficult would it be for me to construct one for the Titan/Mogul?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] andrewmp:
Does this give me Android 2.1?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jkimod:
thanks to everyone, especially the OP for the great instructions and developers. it's awesome having android on my xv6900 (vzw).

what i did for transferring my contacts from outlook: i downloaded and installed 'companion link USB sync' as a trial

i had about 360 contacts so it saved me a ton of time. i'm on verizon w/o a data plan (actually data block) so there was no way i could sync w/ gmail.

just make sure you've got your drivers installed correctly when your phone is plugged into your computer. i tried using htc sync but never got that to work.

edit: two minor annoyances: 1) there's no decent calendar option even after syncing w/ outlook. the phone tries to default to gmail calendar for syncing and proper display. 2) the led indicator lights are switched, i.e., yellow blinking for active, and green blinking for missed call/msg (it should be the other way around but i guess i'll get used to it). steady yellow for charging, steady green for fully charged, and blue blinking for BT are still normal.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] summatusmentis:
I used HTCFlasher instead of the ROMUpdateUtility.exe because I'm on a mac (used it in a linux VM), and it flashed the NBH file just file. However, upon rebooting, (where step 13 should start), it jumps back to red-green-blue bars, flashes a white screen with blue text that says "No Image Found!" for a short period of time, and then back again to red-green-blue bars.

I'm not sure what the issue is, I've got a 2GB Kingston microSD card formatted to FAT32, with an andboot dir, with only androidinstall.tar in it. I'm really new to this, as I bought my vogue specifically for using android, and I can't get it to work.

Suggestions?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ThomasHW:
Once the flashing of the .nbh had finished, did it go back to the bootloader (red-green-blue bars)? If so, with your phone in bootloader mode (the three red bars) and plugged in by USB, open HTCFlasher and select 'Bootloader Cmd prompt'.

Once the prompt comes up, type:

set 16 0

ResetDevice

It should then reset, and you should be good to go. Once it resets you can exit HTCFlasher.

my htc touch verison doesn't have a sd card slot... is there anyway it can be done without and SD card???
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
Don't give up yet...I think every Touch has a micro SD slot; mine was hidden!. On mine I had to slide the battery cover off, then on the right side, pry the plastic-chrome bar down a little...it will pop off with some effort, and then hang there. My card slot is near the top part under that plastic bar. When I first got my Touch I thought it didn't have a slot as well - I still think it is a dumb place to put it, but thankfully I rarely have to remove it.
