Issue

I have a Sprint CDMA model of the HTC Touch Diamond. I have followed the instructions for android 2.2.1 on the op very carefully and I have retried them many times. I extracted the files it said to, and then since I have a Sprint model I moved the diam500 startup.txt (not startup.txt~) file to the andboot folder. I got the diamond froyo.user.conf file and moved it to a folder called config in the andboot folder.

In my andboot folder I have:

/andboot/system.ext2

/andboot/rootfs.img

/andboot/media/*

/andboot/initrd.gz

/andboot/zImage

/andboot/modules-2.6.27.46-01222-g9825e75.tar.gz

/andboot/AndroidApps/*

/andboot/haret.exe

/andboot/conf/froyo.user.conf

/andboot/startup.txt

My startup.txt reads:

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2040

set kernel zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "msmvkeyb_toggle=off lcd.density=210 gsensor_axis=2,-1,3 board-htcraphael-navi.wake=0 rel_path=andboot"

boot

What happens is, I tap haret.exe and it starts Linux. It "auto-renames" a bunch of things. Then it starts looping on what looks like the same thing to me (see picture) and then it just hangs at a black screen.

What am I doing wrong?!?! :confused:

Here is a picture, bit.ly/hNn5NH ,of what happens right before the screen goes black. I had to push a button on the phone to get back to this, and then the linux icon is gone from the top left. This happens every time I start haret and I have tried about 5 times with full battery.

Can someone please help me

Delete all that stuff you put on there already... this cab was posted on the 3rd post of the op's link and does everything for you..

[Touch Diamond CDMA] jonny4:
I am a bit new and thanks for the download earlier, is this supposed to work on the sprint network and have a data connection or is it just to play with?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] jonny4:
ignore this post except for the thanks
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Starfox:
Edited OP to reflect full bundle for FRX06. Camera should be working natively and 3d support should be working without requiring support from WM.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond CDMA] zeltar:
Thanks, I'll delete all my old files and install the cab and then try again. I'll report back here once I've done that.

Jessesse, the file you linked in your post was just a zip file like the other I've tried. I think you meant this file.....

megaupload.com/?d=NUND3R0X
[Touch Diamond CDMA] zeltar:
The cab file didn't work either :(

I installed it and I chose DIAM500 since I have a Sprint model of the touch diamond. Then I ran haret.exe.

It hung at:

/.fseventsd/*\*\203

Bad file name.

Auto-renaming it.

(the * represent random stuff) and then it gave me a black screen

I'm starting to think my phone is defective.... which is sad because I was looking forward to running android on this old phone

Can anyone help??
[Touch Diamond CDMA] jonny4:
Ok, have 2 questions, there seems to be no ringers except silent and since I am installing this to the internal storage if I try to use ringdroid to make ringers it states I hvae no sd card installed. Is my install messed up or is it possible to partition the internal storage to look like 2 drives so you can use part of it as storage?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] jonny4:
ignore this post i figured it out.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] jonny4:
You guys have any suggestions on the best slim winmo rom to use to run this on top of? running o.a.t.'s titanium right now.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Starfox:
For those using the CDMA Diamond, head on over to the TP2 (Rhodium) Android forum to test out a new RIL (Radio Interface Layer) which supports netloc (network-based coarse location), better signal indication, and a lot of other improvements that just literally been made in the past week thanks to hyc. I've been able to mainly keep my TP2 running Android this week thanks to the improved stability, and this should apply to Diamonds as well.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond CDMA] dragoncub1:
Can you please let me know how you got the ringtones to work? I have tired everything and can't get anything but the silent option for the ringtones. Also I get no pictures in gallery and when I open music I get "Your phone does not have an SD card inserted"
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Hammerfest:
any chance we can get an update on how it went?

and of course if all is well, maybe a package update :P
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Starfox:
The new RIL will be included with the next release of XDAndroid. The current test requires too many steps to apply as an update.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond CDMA] anish88:
is there any development happening to get this as nand? also what is not functioning on the diamond in regards to using xda? I have a rhodium but i would like to play around with my old diamond and see if this has a functional system for android
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
What an incredible work!!!!

Thanks a lot Starfox !!!!! You have done an incredible job maintaining this Tread.

Today I use DroidX, but I still have my old HTC Diamond (with a screen never finger touchit and the rest without a scrach because always use it with rubber cover and also have a second long life battery). So I was waitinting because I have the intention to give it to my niece, but if I gave her something without Android, I beliece she will use it as a paperweight, hahahaha. Yeah, Google is the new devil dressed with prada and we enjoy it.

Thanks again Starfox
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
Jonny4 Old Stuff always good.

Hi Jonny4, I had read you are looking for O.a.T Roms for Htc Diamond CDMA (sprint)

I don't have the lite Sense 2.5.2016 23541

but I do have the Lite Sense 2.5.2016 21684

I you still need send me a PM, I don't know how is the best way to send you this 88Mb file (maybe "yousendit" if you have a better idea tell me).

Best Regards Sabroso

What Android system Files works in HTC Diamond CDMA?????

Bootloader NAND or whatever is the correct name I have not heard there is a development for HTC CDMA DIAMOND, but I guess for TP2 yes but still working development on that.

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

UPDATE: THIS LIST IS GOOD only for Froyo FRx06 FIXED (go to post #210 to see the LIST for froyo FRx07 Fixed)

I have the HTC CDMA touch DIAMOND-500 SPRINT device

and the FRx06's bundle package of RootFS, initrd, zImage, module and System-ext2 are not WORKing Well with the HTC Diamond CDMA,

So this is the LIST I HAD checked of versions thar are working FINE with our HTC DIAMOND CDMA devices.

This is only for FRx06

ACTUAL FROYO (23 June 2011) LIST of Roofts, initrd, zImage, module and System-ext2 that are working with HTC Diamond CDMA:

1.- System-ext2 (31-March-2011) FroyoX06 (Froyo)

2.- RootFS-20110416-c1a182b.zip (16-April-2011) this have the old "RIL" not the new one.

3.- initrd-20110429-a3eace0.gz (29-April-2011)

4.- zImage and Kernel module htc-msm-linux @ 20110622_180615-package.tar (22-June-2011)

NOTE: I stopped trying with (27-June-2011) htc-msm-linux @ 20110627_223755-package.tar because problems with new RIL makes endless Loops at bootup starting from the second time bootup XDandroid

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

GINGERBREAD Alpha1 (24 May 2011) LIST of Roofts, initrd, zImage, module and System-ext2 that are working with HTC Diamond CDMA:

1.- You need to download the FULL Gingerbread Bundles builds "GBX0A_Full_Bundle_11.3.2011.zip"

That include the System.ext2 , Roofts, initrd, zImage and kernel module.

2.- Update the System.ext2 with the 31-March-2011 GBX0A (Gingerbread).

3.- Update the Roofts-20110416-c1a182b.zip (16-April-2011) this have the old "RIL" not the new improved one (Battery life will be better)

5.- zImage and Kernel module htc-msm-linux @ 20110522_213148 (22-May-2011)

Note:

- You need to save your old 2010 "TS-CALIBRATION" file and used it for replace the one created with the new system's files (it is almost impossible to do calibration now at first boot up).

- It is high recommend it to delete data.img when you update system (YOU WILL LOST ALL YOUR SETTING, APPS CONFIGURATION, ICON arrangement, etc , etc LOST ALL!!!!!!!!)

- Camara & Video-recording working now (video without audio)

- Wifi Working

- CDMA data Working

- Ringtones Working (after using the Music player, camara and video)

- Home button now is for Home screen and D-PAD (Center circle button) is now for "menu option/setting/notification"

If someone have a better list of checked version that are working with the HTC Diamond CDMA Android system files please let us know.

Anyway I have the hope the new versions will works in next FroyoX07 release (NO clue when it will be release)

[Touch Diamond CDMA] pcdiasmega:
hi,

there is anyway to put my XDANDROID FROYO or GINGERBREAD in Portuguese?

tks,

pcdiasmega
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
Press the red button "THAT WAS EASY!!!!!"

Olá pcdiasmega,

Em termos gerais, o Android é um Multilingua operação do sistema.

Para alterá-lo você pode ir para "Menu -> Configurações --->" Idioma e teclado "---> " Selecionar idioma "Português (do Brasil ou de Portugal) para a língua principal do Sistema Opeation.

Você precisa olhar para aplicativos que Portugues apoio.

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

Hello pcdiasmega,

In general terms Android is a multilanguage Operation System.

You can choose from "menu --> settings ---> "Languaje & keyboard" ---> "Select Language" Portugues (from Brazil or Portugal) for the Main Language of the Opeation System. You will need to look for Apps that support Portugues too.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] pcdiasmega:
Thanks...

I was a little stupid... but ok... xD

Another question... I've a HTC Touch Diamond (100) and I'm using right now XDANDROID Froyo. I've already tested the GINGERBREAD, but the system block many times, and only restarting the phone is that it starts working again.

Is that normal?

What can I do for this not happening?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
mmm I will not name it "normal" but very usual.

I use Diamond 500 (cdma sprint version) nevertheless

Neither Froyo or GingerBread are bugs free.

Anyway with time (after 2-3 days of installed your apps and set your configurations & accounts) things get smoother.

I will say in this case try again but first tell me what is your LIST of Roofts, initrd, zImage, module and System-ext2 that are working with HTC Diamond 100.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] pcdiasmega:
The files that I'm using with HTC Diamond 100 are in this page: h**p://htcandroid.xland.cz/FRX06_Full_Bundle_25.3.2011.zip
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
OK, try the new ones.

PcDiasMega,

IMHO that versions of Roofts, initrd, zImage, module and System-ext2 are more buggy than the new ones,

Use the one I had posted in my post #154 here in this page

and don't forget to save your ts-calibration file first.

By the way, I understand you say "system block" when phone totally get not responding to nothing, not an issue that go to sleep and doesn't weak up from Blackscreem. Well anyway my point is that even if our HTC Diamonds work with less buggy in Froyo or Gingerbread they are still been laggy or slow responding because you can't compare new CPUs and Rams with what our Diamonds have, you will have to be patien with it.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] pcdiasmega:
What I want to say with "system block" was exactly what you said...

"an issue that go to sleep and doesn't weak up from Blackscreem"...

What can I do to resolve it?

I'm sorry for my bad english....
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Starfox:
Short answer: Wait for FRX07.

Long answer: There was a lot of issues in the RIL+kernel that could cause the phone to hang up (SoD), and even the "current" kernel still has issues with servicing interupts. Gingerbread is ALPHA = expect a lot of things to not work. There will be a lot of changes that will improve stability when FRX07 is released.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
I know I'm waiting to test it when it goes out of the oven.

Thanks a lot Starfox:

I really try to follow the thread for "RIL" but honestly it is out of my league (it is more complicated that I can handle with my few knowlegdement)

By the way, any of the newer Roofts (more recent than April 16) enter in a loop at boot time and doesn't aloud me to enter to Xandroid (it reboot the phone before animation runs) in HTC Diamond 500 CDMA. I'm guessing is because RIL because starting from Roofts Abril 30 they said they start making changes for new "RIL":

PcDiasMode:

in the mean time try the versions I told you

Froyo has more things working but it is still buggy for me

Gingerbread is nicer but also buggy SO I want to support it. But as I said try both keep the one better fix you. and be patient they are laggy but we can't have all in life, isn't it???

REPLY to PcDiasMega: Let me know how works for you that newer versions

By the way, remember things goes better/smooth since day 2 you have made all your settings and install apps.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] pcdiasmega:
I'm going to do this...

Tks for everything...

Unfortunately it is really... we can't have all in life... xD
[Touch Diamond CDMA] pcdiasmega:
Hi...

It's me again...

I'm using FRX06 in HTC Touch Diamond 100, and I've a problem with the clock...

I "adjust" the clock, and after 10 minutes, the clock is already "late"...

What can I do this to not happen?

Is this a known bug or something like this?

Is it normal?

Tks,

Cumps,

pcdiasmega
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
PcDiasMega,

How much late is??????
[Touch Diamond CDMA] pcdiasmega:
about 2 minutes/hour...
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Starfox:
There is a known issue where locks are present in places where it shouldn't be (during interrupts). Use hyc's experimental kernel to get around the issue if it's that much of an issue.

[Touch Diamond CDMA] unknown1205:

[Touch Diamond CDMA] RTrix:

I guess there are a thread about xdandroid for your TP. Indeed I

Believe there are full ROM NANDROID for TP or TP2.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
RTrix,

There a full list of bugs for froyo and gingerbread in the central thread for xdandroid
[Touch Diamond CDMA] greyMACHINE:
Nevermind I got it all working, Froyo on my Touch Diamond. :) Great guide! Thank you.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Hammerfest:
yeah for my TP2/Diamond im holding off till a good FRX07 FULL BUNDLE comes out :P

months/years, so many things i wont have to manually do to use it "normally" :D
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
Closer to FRX07!!!

According to ARRGGGHHH,

he is now testing an alpha version of FRX07,

There are still issues to be fixed before they can enter to Beta o RC.

Of course there are no ETA, since they are doing this in there free time.

But anyway, We are getting one step more closer to the release of FRX07.

Stay tune, don't lose an eye on this.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
What version are Today Working in HTC Diamond 500 CDMA!!!

Update July 9 to Post #154

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

since June 22 new Kernels & Zimage neither RootFS version ARE NOT working well with FRx06 in our HTC CDMA touch DIAMOND 500 SPRINT device

Please go to post #154 to see last good version that work with FROYO FRX06

NOTE: I stopped trying with kernel (27-June-2011) that has the new RIL htc-msm-linux @ 20110627_223755-package.tar Because endless mismatch messages starts with the second boot XDAndroid.

By the way, also the new (July-10-2011) have the issue of get stuck at boot time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Starfox:
FRX07 has been released. This brings much-needed improvement in terms of stability and features. CDMA netloc works due to a lot of effort by hyc, and several issues with slowness and crashes has been identified and squashed.

Due to all this changes, I recommend that you download the full bundle zip instead of just the update. If you are still experiencing issues even with the full build, I also recommend nuking data.img, which may contain some residual files that are causing the issue. This will obviously wipe any data/app you have, so use something like Titanium Backup to backup before doing this. If you are still having issues even with a clean build and data.img, post a bug report on the parent thread as the devs do not read this thread and I have no more Diamond to replicate the issue.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond CDMA] greyMACHINE:
Following this as a guide with the FRX07 system.ext2 was the only successful way so far that I could get the new FRX07 running on my DIAM 500.

If anyone else has gotten FRX07 working on their DIAM, please share the file versions you are using.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
FRx07 Released!!!!!

Thanks a Lot Starfox, :)

(mmm seem my tapatalk is not working for autoupdates) :mad:

I feel like a noob now,

where is the files or the "parent thread"???

UPDATE: Ok I think is the new Thread from ggrrhhhhh

(follow this link to Complete FRx07 bundle)
[Touch Diamond CDMA] sabrosolatino:
No good this time

GreyMACHINE,

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

SEE the FIXED FROYO FRx07 August 8th 2011, that is woeking well with HTC CDMA diamond 500 Sprint Device

at post 210

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

FROYO FRX07 (16 July 2011) with the LIST of Roofts, initrd, zImage, module and System-ext2 that are working with HTC Diamond CDMA: THIS TIME IS VERY LAGGY AND FC

1.- System-ext2 (15-July-2011) FroyoX07 (Froyo)

2.- IF I USE THE LATEST ROOTFS (with the NEW RIL) Rootfs-20110716-245f68a.zip (16-July-2011) It boot up but doesn't go beyond the LOCKSCREEN (in any boot)

SO I'm using the Roofts-20110416-c1a182b.zip (16-April-2011) this have the old "RIL" not the new improved one so I guess the FRx07 will not work well with the old one!!!!!!!!!!

3.- initrd-20110429-a3eace0.gz (29-April-2011)

4.- zImage and Kernel module htc-msm-linux @ 20110622_180615-package.tar (22-June-2011)

NOTE: I stopped trying with 27-June-2011; 11-July-2011; 16-July-2011( htc-msm-linux @ xxxx-package.tar) Because endless mismatch messages starts with the second boot XDAndroid.

By the way, also the new (July-10-2011) have the issue of get stuck at boot time.

[EVO 4G General] kthejoker20:
Preparing...

With the phone in the on position.

Fully charge the battery with the phone on... (until the led turns green.)

Once the led turns green, unplug the charger until the led goes off.

After the led goes off, plug the charger back in. When the led turns green , power off the phone.

now.... with the phone fully powered off...

1. Unplug the charger.

2. Wait until led goes off.

3. Plug charger back in until the led turns green. When it turns green, unplug the charger again and go to step 1.

4. repeat steps 1 and 3, 10 times. This may take anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 mins per cycle. Typically only about 1 minute. though.

DO NOT DRAIN THE BATTERY. The goal is not to empty the battery and recharge like ni-cads (those have memory, these don't). These are lithiums, so we need to do the opposite...
[EVO 4G General] wacktool:
And lets all sing the hokie pokie and shout
[EVO 4G General] kthejoker20:
The cells were not charged evenly, so each cell holds different charges. So when you charge it, 1 cell may be 95% another 100 and 98 etc... so when you balance the cells, they function like they are suppose to.

this phone does not have a cell balancer built into it. :(
[EVO 4G General] driguez:
So charge, wait til its almost dead, charge again til full, then do the process w the phone off?

[EVO 4G General] tmidle8575:
I suppose this might explain why sometimes my phone plunges to about 90% almost immediately after taking it off the charger, but then battery decreases at a "normal" rate after that?
[EVO 4G General] david279:
So were reconditioning our batteries...
[EVO 4G General] Neotelos_com:
I'm 99.9% sure the battery is single cell...it wouldn't make sense to have a dual cell 3.7v LiPo unless you wanted heavy discharge.

I don't see how this will make any charge other than the phone not topping the battery off...which in that case an external charger would do a much better job is so.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
I tried this and my battery has been holding steady at 100% with the screen off for the last five minutes so something worked.

[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
That's true, won't hurt anything. WTF I'll give it a try, maybe get proven wrong and learn something too..
[EVO 4G General] Akulamenuri:
I gave this a try and I must say that it is working. Before I did this, as soon as I would take my phone off the charger it would immediately drop to 96%. Now as david279 said, it will actually stay on 100% for awhile and have better standby time. Good find joker, I do see a difference.

How did you find out about the cells not being charged evenly?
[EVO 4G General] apollooff320:
WOW...this actually works. This should be posted on other forums so ppl know about it.
[EVO 4G General] kthejoker20:
I'm a battery nut... actually, i used lithiums in model RC airplanes all the time. Balancing is a must.

Maybe someone can build an app for this, to reboot cycle on and off the power?

Is that even possible?

Now if someone would like to shoot me a awsome working froyo 2.2 rom *** :D joke
[EVO 4G General] apollooff320:
can you post this over at the other android forums so ppl know?
[EVO 4G General] ssconceptz:
Update your steps to say:

After the phone is off and you unplug the charger cable and the LED goes off...

Do a battery pull, hold the power button down, put the battery back in....

Plug the charger in, LED should be orange, once it goes green.... REPEAT

That works better and makes more sense then plug and unplug immediately. Mine was almost green instantly each time.
