I know this is kind of old, but I just came across this post while looking for something else..

I had the same issue, the white screen would flash for a brief half second and not update. The problem I was having was that I didnt realize that when I was renaming KAISIMG.nbh I was adding an extra ".nbh" to the file name because I had the extensions hidden on the win machine I was working on. Caught the error on my linux machine later on after about 20 tries. After fixing that, all went as it should.

Hopefully, this might help someone else searching for an answer.

Just got my old kaiser back (Brother bought an iPhone the fool!) and tried out android.

Am getting blurry screen with corrupted, flickering colours for some pixels - especially where it is doing transparency it appears.

Am I right in assuming that this is probably screen density?

I tried the rogue tools, but not much joy.

I got my nbh files from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2010-02-20/kaisereclair/

I started with KAISIMG-PANEL1-480.NBH,then when that did not work I went searching.

I found rogue utils and they were raving about "480" in there, so I downloaded and flashed KAISIMG-PANEL1-428.NBH.

I tried that with various settings in rogue tools, which seemed to change but not fix the corruption.

I also tried the "160 update" linked in the polymod FAQ in the section about corruption.

My phone says KAIS130 under the battery if it matters, and it is the UK model (Not a tilt).

Can anyone help?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
I dont think your problem is related to the density. Try changing the panel type.. ie download an nbh with a different paneltype.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] evilc:
Thanks.

When I do that, do I then need to re-install, or am I good to go?

Oh and by panel type do you mean like 1 2 3 or 320 428 480 ?

I installed Panel 2 480 and the screen no longer has corruption, certainly looks a lot clearer though I wouldnt say not blurry at all. Not really sure what to expect from a 320x240 in android but defo a big change. I guess i answered my questions.

Very impressed with how smooth it is, though i cant get starfield to show.

I can get the rotating planet live bg to demo, but when I set it as home screen it dont work.

Oh well
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
Live wallpapers do have some problems, but I think in many cases its just a problem of our slow cpus. I prefer not to use them. The panel type is the 1 2 3 and 320, 480 etc are resolutions. Most people like 320x428 with 144 dpi. Its the least blurry IMO after 240x320, but 320 is too small for most apps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] One Hype:
Thanks for the advice. I agree with you on pretty much everything mentioned. The 5th pin on my mini-usb broke, so it almost never syncs. Also had a feeling the bootloader was gone since I can't get into it, so that is why I am currently trying to source a cheap mainboard with a working USB. That way I can start from scratch, and most likely get Android running.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] khaytsus:
I've been playing with the Rhodium Android build (2.1 AOSP) and I'm really looking forward to AT&T getting a damn decent Android phone..

I have a Kaiser sitting here unused, so I'm going to try this out.. Does this use the SD card after the install, or can it be removed? I only have one SD card available between the two phones.

If I need to get another one I will, but not sure if this installs entirely to internal storage or both internal and SD.

Thanks, and thanks for the guide, makes it look pretty easy! I already have a hardSPL and ROMeOS on my Kaiser so should hopefully install this build pretty easy. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] khaytsus:
Anyone? I have had some trouble doing this from my phone, I only get the tri-color + Serial, even formatted the card fat32, triple-checked the filename, etc... .. I have another card that's dedicated to a GPS but I might try it too, but can't do that if it needs the use the card from then out.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Usually the cause of bootloader not picking up the NBH file is either the wrong filesystem, but you are sure that the card is formatted FAT32, so I don't see the being the problem, the other main cause is the filename, but again you are sure that that is not the problem.

There are some reports that occasionally some SD cards simply will not co-operate for some reason, I had one SD card that did give me problems like this, but after reformatting it FAT then back to FAT32 it has worked most of the time.

If you are going to be running from Nand, then most builds now do not need the SD card to be inserted while running, it is only needed for flashing and installing.

I can only really think of making certain that the filename is KIASimg.nbh and that is is in the root of the SD card, the installer file should be in the andboot folder of the sd card, there does not need to be any other files on the SD card.

Since you are getting the bootloader, you could also try flashing the nbh by USB, copy and rename the nbh file to RUU_Signed.nbh, and use KaiserCustomRuu.exe to flash the nbh from a temp folder on the PC.

Then follow the installation procedure with the SD card in the phone, ( without the nbh flashing part obviously), if this does not work then I'd try another SD card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] khaytsus:
BTW today I went out and bought another 4G card so I could dedicate it.. Only Class 4 but so far it's worked fine. Partitioned it 512M fat, 280M ext2, remaining 3G ext2. Installed to SD.

And for kicks I tried to install to NAND and I can now.. Go figure. I think I won't just yet, at least not until I figure out why I can't install any apps in the Kaiser build.. I think it's a permissions problem, says I have no free space even though I clearly do, Info in Setup says so, df says so, etc.. Plus it's a lot slower, but it's fun for fooling with :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aalluri7:
help i am a noob {and posibly brock my phone

i done it up to this step

"9. Now, put it back in, press power and wait for android to start booting. You will know cause all this random looking text will go by. You have to be quick to do it, but press the middle button on the d-pad when it says 'press the middle button to enter setup' or soemthing like that. (EDIT: I've been told that you have to just hold the d-pad center button down. Either way, just get that button pushed when it says to push it)."

but when i get to the holding the d-pad center button down some text flys by and starts saying invalid

so i looked at the log in my sd card and got this

"sh: 0: unknown operand

mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock2 on /system failed: Invalid argument

mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /data failed: Invalid argument

"

I tried by taking out the battery and putting it back in several times and the same thing happens

is there any way to get winmo back or to finish the install

this is on my htc kaiser by the way
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
To get winmo back, simply get a stock winmo rom, copy the ruu_signed.nbh file to SD card, rename to kaisimg.nbh, insert SD card in phone, power+camera, follow the prompts, and winmo will have invaded your phone again.

Alternatively, if you cannot copy to SD card, put the phone in bootloader, power+camera, ( with no SD card in), connect to USB, and run the rom update utility to flash the phone.

(remember to disable activesync before flashing by USB method).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] DeputyDave:
It seams that over time this thread has become difficult to follow, I am very simple minded, could someone please point me in the correct direction, with all the download links and the newest step by steps to follow in one place (i.e. 1. do this 2. download this from here 3. do that 4. download that from here.... etc. etc.) I will putting this on an old tilt, my backup phone.........

Thank You.........
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] N3CR0M4NC3R:
Same issue here,

followed the instructions EXACT but it doesnt want to work..

8gb microSD formatted to fat32, folder is correctly named and the nbh is named

Yet i still get the above error..

Any idea's?

==edit==

Short video recorded

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY6sVCpPY64
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
From the video I noticed a couple of things, firstly, you installed twice, not sure why you did that, however both installs were very short, it normally takes a lot longer than that, so I'm guessing that there were some errors in the install somewhere.

However that does not matter, since really the method in this thread is so out of date that I suspect that this is what your problem is, the 'replacing winmo' guide stickied at the top is really the best guide just now, since you have already flashed an nbh, and must have hardspl already, you should be able to skip most of the first few steps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] N3CR0M4NC3R:
Thanks for the info zenity but alas after following those through im still getting the same response,

Upon confirming the wipe of data and all i get a few scrolls of text,

then says something about it cannot find/read/access (one of those responses) the sdcard/andboot/androidinstall.tar file which is quite happily listed on the memcard as per the instructions..

I really have no idea what to follow with now,

Either my kaiser just doesn't like it or i have a bad SD card..

Just to say this is my experience at flashing onto android,

I've been flashing winmo roms for many years now through the SPV range..

Any advice or idea's?

If needed i can go through a full video showing what i have done and showing the problems again

==edit==

Seemed to be a problem with my SDHC not wanting to load the tar file,

so i took the liberty of flashing the NBH from the sdhc then running the tar file from a normal 2gb microsd card

then for some reason it worked..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
It may have been the SDHC card, either it is damaged, or perhaps some SDHC cards are incompatible, either way as long as the card is formatted Fat32, and the androidinstall.tar file is in the andboot folder along with the haret files, then usually this problem points to some low level issue with the Micro-SD itself.

However as long as you got it working then it's all good :D

My G1 is stuck on the Tmobile G1 screen and wont go into recovery more or fastboot mode

help please!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forevermai:
Hey guys I just flashed the ROM BeHero1.2.1 and when I wanna use GPS, the icon just flashed and flashed, could not work normally.

I just wonder is there anyone else meet the problem or just me?:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emayno1:
Maybe you should flash the radio again.

I flashed the BeHero Rom and went back to MCR 3.2 beta5.

And then, my gps don't work.

My GPS is working after I flash the radio again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rextreme:
Try this

It's common, and solvable~, try this:

1. switch on GPS,

2. reboot your phone with GPS switched on.

3. lauch google maps.

4. patience, patience, patience (about a min)

5. and there you go..GPS working fine.

and after the initial touch, the gps will lock the satellites really quick.

enjoy;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dolby71:
try using "GPS Status" from market so you know if the receiver picks up any satellites. quicker than google maps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forevermai:
I've reflashed the radio, or followed the steps above, none of them fixed the GPS issue.T_T

Thank you all, though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokies:
Rolling back to your nandroid backup? Maybe it's the rom's issuse...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starfarer:
I too had problem on 2 ported ROM's. But at the moment it's working as normal (BeHero) after I flashed the Radio again. Need more times and different locations to test. Will report back later.

Are you sure you re-flashed the Radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfgamaral:
I can confirm that today I tried the BeHero ROM, reverted back to a nandroid backup and the GPS was not longer working. Flashing the radio again seems to have fixed it :)

Thank you for the tip, I was getting really angry for screwing my phone...

[HD2 General] bashulaojia:
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there was any way one could get the status LED to blink constantly when connected to a carrier. My old Asus P535 used to have that feature...made it really easy to find it in the dark.

Thanks guys!
[HD2 General] byronlee:
I want that too, plus notification when Bluetooth is on (my Touch Cruise used to have the LED blinking in blue when BT is active but such is not found in HD2).

Now, my status LED only blinks when there is missed call or unread SMS/reminder after applying the LED notification tweak.
[HD2 General] Juliette:
Bump :) Helps to find phone in dark.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] legend1222:
I've been flashing different roms for awhile, and decided to go from OpenEclair to one of the "new" ones that requires the new SPL and radio. Went fine. No problem. Used the new rom for about a week, but really got screwed by a massive bug I found in it today, so I wanted to go back to my OE nandroid backup.

I went to reflash to my original SPL. It was a ZIP, so I treated it like a ROM and used AmonRa's recovery to flash it. Said it went fine. Rebooted, expecting to get back into fastboot and flash my radio.

I can't get into fastboot. All it does is show Rogers then HTC Magic in a boot loop. ADB devices shows nothing, fastboot devices shows nothing. Back and Power doesn't work. Home back and power doesn't work. Vol down doesn't work.

Am I as bricked as I think I am? :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Yes, it sounds bricked. The proper method to go from 6.x --> 3.x radios and matching SPL is to use fastboot. You have to flash radio and SPLs in matching pairs, you can only use the update.zip format for SPL when it already matches your radio (ie. 1.33.2005 ---> 1.33.2010 w/ the 3.22.20.17 radio).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KAwAtA:
I believe you should normally flash radios first as well. If you don't get it fixed id like to buy it, need parts. Anyways, most the time when you can't get into fastboot or anything else, it is bricked. Best bet is to get warranty if you still have it. Unfortunately the new phones won't be rootable yet
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] digitaljeff:
its best to follow guides when downgrading/upgrading spl/radio (cursordroids for example) when not knowing completely what your doing.. sorry my friend.. sounds like your phone is now a boat anchor
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gymmy:
i flashed a 1.33.2010 SPL with a 3.?? radio and now all i get is the logo screen no fast boot, i can enter debug mode (action button) but nothing else :( sounds like its bricked, but hey its been fun :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thatruth132:
to be honest i was in this situation last week after leaving my phone off for a hour fastboot was working
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gymmy:
oh this is sounding more promising, see what happens when i get home, i see there have been a few people about that have been in the same situation and got out of it so fingers crossed :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gymmy:
unfortunantly none of the above worked, wow after 10 years of flashing **** i finally killed something !!.... mind you i still have to make up the serial cable this weekend and see if i can fix it like that :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruimoura:
Oh well, you guys should know better ... radio/spl/recovery upgrade/downgrade is a child play, if you do it with fastboot and in the correct order (radio - spl - recovery).

I just hope you can get your Magic back to life.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gymmy:
yeah i was a little distracted at the time, never mind, im going to boot into the radio bootloader and see if i can fix it this weekend, fingers crossed :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thatruth132:
i have flashed not in that order and never bricked and also i have flash different things like radios in different orders and no brick
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] legend1222:
Just a (long) update on trying to get the phone repaired...

First thanks to bcrook, KAwAtA and digitaljeff for the prompt replies at confirming my screw up.

Ruimoura, why even post? Nothing helpful, and not even commiserating. "Oh well, you guys should know better ...". I hope someone is there when you make a mistake to rub it in.

Anyway...

This was a Rogers Magic used in the states on AT&T.

Heres what happened if anyone is interested:

I searched the forums and tried every trick I could find, including the gold card method; no luck. To be honest, I'm not sure I did the gold card right, but I tried my best. I even looked into the jtag idea, but it seems like more work then its worth to me, and no one seems to have been successful with it yet.

I then called HTC to find out what a repair would cost. HTC said they don't have that phone in their parts list and can't service it because it is a Rogers phone and they don't work with Rogers. They told me I would have to call Rogers for service.

Called Rogers and explained the situation (carefully; blaming the 911 update ;) ). Rogers lectured me on how dare I take their phone off their network, and that they have no interest in helping me at all and "contacting HTC is easy. Whats wrong with you?". I explained that I contacted HTC and they said to contact Rogers. They said (after some fighting) call this number and then gave me the same number HTC has on their website.

Called HTC again and explained the situation. After checking their parts database, the person I was talking to this time confirmed what the person I previously talked to said. HTC doesn't service the Rogers Magic but he felt, like I, that was kinda crazy and called the repair location directly to confirm. After a bit of time on hold, he came back and said that Rogers phones are serviced through a place called FutureTel in canada, and gave me their contact number.

I called FutureTel and it was a very short conversation. "What store are you calling from?" I Explained I wasn't calling from a store and why I was calling. "We only work with Rogers directly. We won't support you." and they hung up.

I have to say, both times I called HTC the people I talked to were incredibly polite and honestly seemed like they wanted to help. Rogers and FutureTel seemed like they truly resented having to pick up the phone. Maybe its a cultural thing I'm not aware of, but it honestly seemed, from the first word, that they hated talking to me.

So, as near as I can tell, you can't even pay someone to fix a Rogers HTC Magic.

At this point I'm back suffering on my old WinMo phone and desperately hoping that the rumored March 23 release date for the Verizon Nexus One is legitimate since T-Mobile isn't really an option.

is this only me?

Yeah. I just want to be able to type question marks and quotes without having to slide in the keyboard and do it via onscreen keyboard :P

< and > symbols would also be awesome if they could be hardcoded some how. They arent even symbols on the keyboard even on Win Mo but I would love to have them, especially if this Ubuntu thing works great. I do lots of HTML / PHP so... PHP coding on the TP2 would be pretty sick :P Kinda hard to do without < or > symbols. Could use { and } too :P

On the latest CAB I downloaded the End button locks the screen and the power button minimizes all the programs. Is there any way to make the Power button lock the screen and the end button minimize all the programs, like it is in Win Mo? I got a T mobile TP2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xxjoshuaaxx:
The problem is that you would end calls with the lock button as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anderdroid:
I see. There isn't some way they could code around this? That's weird that it's like that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
This note is from the WIKI.

Note: It's until now impossible to split 'End Call' and 'Power' function in the code, so this last function can't be linked to Power button without it being 'End Call' too. Thus for the ease of ending a call, this function is placed on the normal EndCall-button and Power button is 'Home'.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] j.action:
honestly I would find it easier to end calls with the power button anyway. So this seems like a perfectly good compromise to me. :)
