I just picked up my HD2 I was searching through Craigslist, I found someone who is claiming to have an HD2 that dual boots WinMo and Android. I was under the impression this was not possible yet?? I wouldn't pay that much for a HD2 but It would be nice to have Android.

[HD2 General] shu8i:
some people are claiming that they have seen hd2 dual booting: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6025146&postcount=32

but until now xda devs were not able to get the kernel running yet.
[HD2 General] Bargsbeer:
I'm guessing this is something xda devs are working on?
[HD2 General] witch1:
Looks like bull**** to me :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Bargsbeer:
I figured if anyone would know it would you all here.
[HD2 General] mystik610:
People BS a lot of Craigslist.

Worse yet, most people don't know any better and would fall for it.

I saw a lot of people putting EURO HD2's up on craigslist, claiming that they are 3G capable in the US, and selling them for $400 or more a few weeks before the US launch...and they were obviously selling.
[HD2 General] brandi:
I dont think its true. there has been so much scam around the last time...... when was the day when all wannabe devs started to turn into idiots?
[HD2 General] lonelykatana:
Its BS.

Shame though, booting from droid and winmo would be awesome.
[HD2 General] Nimche:
second that.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Really? People haven't been able to get Android to run on the HD2? I have had it on my Fuze for a few months now. Almost everything works as well.

I was going to start looking into having it on my new T-mobile HD 2 as well.
[HD2 General] AssassinsLament:
Just read how he describes it and you'll know he doesn't know much. Don't waste your time.
[HD2 General] zdrux:
Yes, the guy sounds like a 14year old kid who doesn't know how to make a proper sale ad. He has no idea what he's talking about.

He probably installed an Android wallpaper and thinks it makes the phone dualboot into Android.

I want to move some always-use-apps internal memory?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshal:
If you have linux, when you mount your phone to the computer, you can access the apps in ext partition too. That way you can copy the apps to the computer and use adb to push the file to system/app

adb remount

adb push (location of file in pc without bracket) /system/app

I have been working on getting vanilla android to work on the Tattoo as I am not a big fan of all the modifications that HTC have done to their rom.

I am now launching the first usable version of the rom.

Phone calls and sms work, so does wifi, camera, gps and sensors.( thanks to fyodor)

Camera works only in android 1.6 I'll try it in 1.5 latter on today.

All aplications work.

Bluetooth and fm radio aren't working yet.

For the next release I'll be focusing on getting bluetooth to work.

The rom comes in two flavours :

ANDROID 1.5

ANDROID 1.6
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
this should be 120 i guess... try it & let us know what is the result....
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
They are the same modifications to init.rc that worked for the 2.1 rom but have no effect what so ever for 1.6 .

I might be missing something. I extract the boot.img and I add that line to the end of the init.rc file. Should I be doing something else too?

I'll try with 120 once I'm sure I'm editing it corectly.
[Click Android Development] ser1993:
lgstoian...if you will port a normal donut on our tattoo without htc build i will love you forever!:D
[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
That whould be great.

I'm have the same thoughs has you, concerning to the HTC stuff...

Whouldn't be more easy to reverse the offcial rom?

cheers
[Click Android Development] mainfram3:
You could start with the values from the stock HTC rom ;)
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
Thanks mainfram3. Just got touchscreen to work.

I'm uploading now version 0.002.

So it seems that camera doesn't work, wifi, bluetooth and gps.

I suspect some would be fixed in the build.prop maybe someone else can check it out too. I'm calling it a night.

The rom feels very fast and finally a grey task bar.

Take it for a spin and see how it goes. :D
[Click Android Development] ser1993:
something new??:)
[Click Android Development] maxisma:
To fix WiFi you need to compile the proper driver against your kernel source or use HTCs kernel + their wlan.ko.

For bluetooth take a look at the files in /system/etc.

And gps is related to libgps.so
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
I am using the HTC kernel + their wlan.ko and I'm still not getting any results.
[Click Android Development] ser1993:
Call and sms works??
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
Yah they do work.
[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
Keep the good work.. :D

Cheers
[Click Android Development] alezzandro:
great job!! Hope to have a full working ROM soon :-)

where can we get information about including drivers into vanilla android ROM?

please help this man! we want a working vanilla rom for Tattoo! :-)
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
I'm still stuck at getting wireless to work. I even got android 1.5 and 1.1 working on the tattoo just for fun.
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
Good...yeah..it's fun ;)
[Click Android Development] ser1993:
Can you post the 1.5 rom??In that rom work everything??

Thank you :)
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
I just finished uploading the 1.5 rom. It has working wifi. I'm now working on getting wifi to work on 1.6 too and I'll upload that one later during the day.
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
Is 1.6 rom fully working?
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
Camera, gps, bluetooth and accelerometer aren't working yet.

Any help in getting them to work is highly wellcomed.
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
Thank you lgstoian for your work and for answering :)
[Click Android Development] ser1993:
If you solve these bugs it's perfect...the most important i think is the accelometer...then gps...then camera...then bluetooth (it doesn't work in donut with other devices so it's not important...)
[Click Android Development] alezzandro:
great job man!! you rocks! :-)
[Click Android Development] ser1993:
something new???

Lgstoian i'm your big fan!:D
[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
Wait a Minute.

Am I trippin' out, or taking a work down memory lane?

Did I just see Android 1.5 for HTC Tattoo? That brings back memories.... :D
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
I even got 1.1 on the tattoo running:D.

For now I need to focus on some other project but probably at the end of next week I'll continue working on the 1.6 and 1.5 ports.
[Click Android Development] alezzandro:
lgstoian can you please explain how do you've built the 1.6 vanilla system? thanks!
[Click Android Development] ser1993:
Something new???
[Click Android Development] ser1993:
Have you stop develop this rom lgstoian??:(
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
For now I have paused development of the ROM as I am quite busy with other colledge related projects. :(
[Click Android Development] ser1993:
Ooooook...dont worry...i hope you will restart develop soon...dont forget me!:D ;)
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
Thanks to fyodor I have camera running on the 1.6 rom. Hope I can get it to work on 1.5 too. Rom has been updated.
[Click Android Development] ser1993:
sensors works??
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
Not yet. Hopefully will get it working soon.
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
New version is out. Everything is working except bluetooth and fm radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] StrongOneX:
Please listen up!

When the 2.1 is released;

Do not update your phone with the RUU from htc website or OTA because it will most likely lock up your bootloader and make you unable to downgrade, root and it will replace/delete you custom recovery boot menu and therefore UNABLE TO ROOT,DOWNGRADE AND FLASH ANY CUSTOM ROM!

I recommend waiting for a 2.1 based villain version or MODACO 4

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED; YOUR PHONE MAY BE "WRECKED" :eek:

if you goto modaco htc hero forum you'll find a similar thread with more information.

OFFICIAL SOURCE

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hertus:
Thanks for the informations dude!

so when modaco 4 will release? ;) waiting for.....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xxbabiboi228xx:
Thanks Yeah i planned on waiting for a rooted 2.1 update-hero-generic-x.xx.xxx.xx-release-rooted rom for flashing with recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dan330:
where is this discussed??

[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Thanks for pointing out my little 'article' over on VillainROM.co.uk :)

As we approach the end of the week, and the point where something interesting might appear at any time, please make sure everyone knows not to flash an RUU.

To re-iterate what I said over there, if you get access to the official RUU in your country or from your provider, please let one of the admins or moderators on VillainROM.co.uk know (you can identify us with the red and green nametags, or by clicking 'the team' at the bottom of the home page. We will then provide you with temporary login details to FTP the file to our server, and the update will be re-released within hours (probably within minutes of uploading) :)

Cheers, and don't go RUU-ing ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] maxisma:
Please make it a stickie.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] StrongOneX:
I assume modaco 4 will be released shortly after the official 2.1 RUU, but it will always be well.. alpha and betas before the "real" modaco 4 is finished and we also have to wait until Teknologist releases his tweaked kernel to get the real modaco as we know from 3.2
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Thank you!.... I was planning on installing the official one as soon as it is available under the assumption I could just flash a custom over the top of it once they had been tweaked.

You've saved me some heartache.

Assumption is definitely the mother of all f'ups.

Thanx again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Glad someone's been saved... Perhaps we should get a viral tweet going ;) I'll start one tonight if I remember...

Pass the message on, folks...

Tweeted via. my user below. Feel free to add me and RT to android users etc. Spread the word, and hopefully we won't even need to find a way to root the new update ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZED_pt:
hehe before i look at this post i was thinking "the official 2.1 must be out any time soon,should i flash it or wait for the customs..?"....question solved :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] harsha_aithal:
So.. Even other downgrading (like GoldCards) methods wont work..?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] san31311:
How

I can solve this problem

Because it happen yo my

I was rooed my hero

on day i run .exe file for htc ruu

it work at first but un the end it but me error

What i can do

sorry i but my broke English :o
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
think about this: you are htc. you don't want people to root their phones. you get a major upgrade out there, and you know about the methods how to crack the security of the phone. would you fix them or not?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Al936:
If somebody have SPL 1.76.2007 installed and wish to try official 2.1 form HTC you can do it in the following way:

1. Get rom.zip from 2.1 RRU

2. Unpack it on you hard disk

3. Make new archive HEROIMG.zip with following files from rom.zip:

- android-info.txt

- splash1_Hero_320x480.nb0

- boot.img

- radio.img

- system.img

- userdata.img

DO NOT INCLUDE recovery file (recovery.img) and SPL file (with name like hboot_7200A_1.76.0007_090804.nb0) into HEROIMG.zip.

4. Flash HEROIMG.zip

In this case you will able to root, downgrade or install custom rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nprussell:
FYI:

VillainROM will really come into life when we have the official 2.1 update.

But on topic - he's right. Remember those that used the official update last time and had to use the goldcard method to flash recovery?

We don't want that all over again.

Agreed: Sticky.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
flash through recovery image? would that work?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
well surely you would have to sign it?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nprussell:
Making a ROM out of an RUU is a piece of piss

As soon as we have it, it's a battle of the upload speeds.

There will be a lot of ROMs out there, all based on the same build; too similar to differentiate.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
yes, but it is still lacking an update-script, and contains only .img files. from what i know that is not suitable for the recovery... it might work with the unlocked bootloader, that is correct, but for that you need to flash every partition with the corresponding image...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
hi,

i got similar information today from HTC DACH Technichal Support (DACH means Germany, Austria and Switzerland):

"We are currently working on an update for the HTC Hero device and it has to appear on the HTC website soon. Please check the HTC website from time to time, when it will be published and then you can download it for the device, but for now we don't have any accurate information on when it will be released"

(German original: "Es wird im Moment schon an einem Update fuer das Geraet HTC Hero gearbeitet und es muss bald auf der HTC Webseite erscheinen. Bitte schauen Sie immer wieder auf der HTC Webseite nach, wann es veroeffentlicht wird und dann koennen Sie es fuer das Geraet auch herunterladen, aber im Moment haben wir noch keine genaue Information, wann es erscheinen wird.")

T-Mobile Germany replied me about 10 days ago, telling me that Android 2.0 is coming to the G2 Touch at the end of April, via OTA "as updates for android phones always come". I think it was just a noob at T-Mobile Support not knowing anything exact, because I think update will be 2.1 and not OTA (at least not only) as last update wasn't OTA, contrary to what he said and release of a special 2.0 version seems very unlikely to me.

So, I think it will definitively be published this month, OTA or not, we will know the exact date when it is there.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vd3:
If this is true, then I really do hope that HTC loses their patent battle with Apple and is barred from selling phones in the United States.

The constant delays for the update has annoyed me entirely too much. I don't care for a company that doesn't care about its customers.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vjprakashbe:
Even we are not asking for the update NOW!

HTC, just come out (of your campus) and speak something other than Twitter updates. Even if you say the update will be out on Jun'15th then most of the people will be happy and do their business instead of searching every day with 2.1 update tags in all possible search engines available...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
actually i don't believe this.

i can find no other site reporting this, not even the engadget report this article names as it's source.

But on engadget i find a clear date given by HTC for Taiwan:

http :// www . engadget .com /2010/03/26/ htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/

I don't think this date will differ much from the release dates in Europe.

I still think it will come this month.

Edit: Sorry for the fragmented link, I'm not allowed to post full links.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PulpzillA:
Does this make you feel better?

http://www.htc-club.ro/index.php?showtopic=3777
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
hope this isn't a joke (look at the date of the post)

anyway, this fits into all the other information i got in the last few days.

thank you very much for this link!

i feel confirmed to say that update is very likely to arrive this april^^
[Hero, G2 Touch General] StrongOneX:
I've abandoned my HTC Hero, I'm going for a HTC desire as soon its released in Scandinavia :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vjprakashbe:
Another HTC device...!;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vd3:
As vjprakashbe pointed out, it's just another HTC device and will probably be plagued with the same update delays in the future...

Oh, how I wish that the Nexus One would come to Sprint faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] keridel:
Which is another htc device!

Htc informed me the ota update will occur mid too late april.

but It's supported by Google, so no waiting for a lazy HTC.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zero00SM:
Is there any chance that my hero wil auto update once the official 2.1 is released?I mean if the automatically scheduled check is on in HTC software update tab.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 87Vortex87:
If you are still running the official 1.5 ROM i would gain root access before the end of this week, so today.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bornin:
Would be great if it really comes tomorrow

but for some reason i still have doubts.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
ah gotcha

10char
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ltraddical:
Is there a tool for this? :)

Edit: Nevermind, found it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Al936:
If you have SPL 1.76.2007 (as I mentioned), the answer is NO. This is Unlocked SPL.

Also it is not required to flash each image separately. HEROIMG.zip can be flashed from sdcard automatically in HBOOT mode.

Yes, it is not possible to flash HEROIMG.zip via recovery.

And this is just the one of the possible ways (among others) to TRY official rom and not to close possibility to downgrade, to root or to flash custom roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
thx for clearing things up, this might come in handy.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] art_sn00p:
Thank you for this information.

Could you be so kind as to describe how to get rom.zip from RRU?

I thought that RUU is just EXE file. I could just start it from my windows and the program would do it dirty work.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Al936:
Just do the following:

1. Do NOT connect Hero to PC

2. Run RRU exe file and wait till main screen (with HERO image) of the utility appears - do not proceed further with utility.

3. Go to the directory where Windows make temporary files and find recently created directory (for instance C:\TEMP\{AB393CE2-2385-42E9-A8F6-5636F0C2E2EF}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}).

There will be a lot of files in it. And ROM.zip also will be here.

4. Copy rom.zip from this directory to another place.

5. Go to the main screen of the rru utility and click Cancel.

Please note after clicking Cancel all files including rom.zip will be deleted.

You can do the above just now with any RRU to elaborate how to find rom.zip :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] art_sn00p:
Very useful. I'll try to do the trick.

And more important thing here is to wait for official 2,1 RUU )) It is promised that it should be released in April. May be tomorrow. As some rumors are told us.

But guess that it would be last April.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ltraddical:
First, i'm planning on trying to update de ROM.zip via the Amon-RA recovery image. If the ROM is good for me, i'm going to flash it via the RUU to see if there is any possibility in re-flashing the Amon-RA recovery image.

In my humble opinion, a lot of people don't know this yet and the question of rooting the HTC Hero with the RUU-updated version of the phone is going to come anyhow. So i bet there will be a fix for it later anyhow :)

But again, only if i really like the ROM ;).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
really bad idea, for several reasons, most of them already stated here. do whatever you want, but don't start crying afterwards...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ltraddical:
Boohoo :(

I won't, like i said.. Research first ;) screwing up later..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
even if you like the rom, i see a good chance that you might be stuck with it forever... and you never know what new features might come up after a few months, which you won't be able to use without root access... but i don't want to start a discussion about this, you have been warned. don't get me wrong, i'm trying to help. if you think you have the knowledge to crack bootloader protection go ahead, but (no offense intended) you don't sound like you have.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ltraddical:
True, i don't. Not afraid to admit it..

The fact remains that not everyone get's this message, or is smart enough to do 'the right thing' regarding to root access and custom rom's.

So in order to help that growing percentage of Hero users, the bootloader eventually hast to be / will be cracked anyway.

Don't get me wrong though, thats just my opinion. And who knows, there might not even be a problem :). Why would HTC modify their bootloader anyway? Dev's are getting 2.1 even with sense working?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zero00SM:
Let me put it in this light.I also have a HTC Magic (Sapphire) and since I made the biggest mistake of updating to official release i am searching for away to downgrade in order to root.No such luck for 3 months now (or better).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] giorgit28:
When 2.1 ROM will be relleased?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Simc13:

What is if u have a G2 Touch from T-Mobile?

If u install the new HTC Rom with a Goldcard in the Phone, it is possible to change with the Tmobile RUU installer to the Tmobile 1.5 ROM? And downgrade then to HTC Rom to Root the phone? :D Hope u understand me my English isnt very well.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] behnaam:
Nope, I can confirm that :) Tomorrow morning for some countries!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Liked some of your stuff today, behnaam ;)

Unfortunately I didn't fall for it (I know you can't get EXT4 w/o kernel sources, and what's the chance of HTC pulling their finger out and releasing them with or before the RUU?)

But, on a more important note, what regions are we expecting tomorrow (now it's after 12:00 pretty much everywhere)? I heard we were looking at Danish/Scandanavian, but I don't know.

Certainly, I'm sure we're in for an exciting few days.

@ALL, Just remember NOT to flash the RUU. Okay?

Tomorrow morning Nordic time zone, the first OTA's will be pushed out. Keep your phone connected at all time so u dont miss it.

2.1 will ONLY be pushed out as OTA, there are no current plans for RUU's provided by HTC.

Seems we cant force update checks and that we will be notified by a message!
