Ok, did you got any success of runing any kernel for this phone, if yes please post here haret config. I will try to compile kernel for it but problem will be haret and memory adresse, I dont know how to get this adresse, please any link about it :confused:
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
Hey,

i didn't have that much time last days, but i did some trys on it:

I connected to mini via haret+telnet and took a look on memory mapping, and if i'm not wrong physical ram address 0x2000000 should work(i remember working on assembler in uni :) ), but i think problem is not adressing and config but haret itsself. on my phone it freezes after "Haret: Booting linux" - loading bar in wm. I am not that experienced in Haret (i never saw it working) and dont know where the problem is. if i try to boot via telnet it adresses memory and copies kernel and dies before loading it.

Any idea ?

I used Haret 0.5.3, read some forums and will try some older releases now.
[HD Mini Android Development] _Madmatt:
I think trying an older release isn't a good idea. In general, an old release includes more bugs ;)

Hi mates this is my log from haret/telnet when i make boot option for hd mini, telephone has freeze and i must reconnect battery. How you got ramaddres 0x2000000??? Haret is version from 26.May.2010

You find this link??!
[HD Mini Android Development] krook6023:
My advice is to explain your mission and problems on IRC @Freenode #HTC-Linux. I imagine you will find developers who can help you there...I would guess that you will need to find them and they will not reply to this thread.
[HD Mini Android Development] Kakiller93:
Dissapointed..

What is the most importent thing u've gotta to for run android on HTC HD Mini, and howcome we can run it on HTC HD but not on hd mini, is it because its smaller? HTC Gratia is kind of the same as Mini and it got android, its weird....

Hope u guys goes long with this project, cuz i hate my htc hd mini!!! It sucks... windows phone is the worst phone ever, litterally speaking..
[HD Mini Android Development] krook6023:
(Kakiller93 this is not directed at you specifically)

Here is my soap box speech...JM2C

It should go with out saying…but simply posting about how much you want it or how disappointed you are that someone else has not done it for you will not actually help get it done. So I suggest that the people that want this to happen start figuring it out and share your successes and failures (like cardsharing has) and stop waiting for it to happen magically.

@cardsharing; I wish you luck and commend you for taking some initiative.

What people don’t realize is that you don’t start as a developer who knows how to port Android to the HD Mini. You start as an end user who wants it bad enough to learn how to do it. That is how XDA works…I have seen it a thousand times…you can go from knowing nothing to being a huge contributor in very little time…it just takes effort.

P.S. I don’t have a HD Mini (and never have) I started this thread back when I moderated this forum b/c every day it seemed like there was a new user (creating a new thread) asking why there no working port of Android for the Mini. I have a HD2 which runs WinMo but I use Android as my daily OS booting via Haret…I have seen how cool it is…so for those of you that have a Mini…It is worth the effort!
[HD Mini Android Development] cardsharing:
Thanks @krook6023 im waiting other members who is interested for hd mini kernel kompiling first then android. If you want to minimally help for haret please post here! My question is: anyone want to help me to find from my log or from his log what is real memory adresse to be able to run kernel from hd mini? Is haret able to run it under hd mini or i must to kompile new haret modified???
[HD Mini Android Development] Kakiller93:
Im not dissapointed on the folks on how to run android on hd mini, im dissapointed at HTC and windows.
[HD Mini Android Development] PoJD01:
@cardsharing:

Never done a port before, but looking at the log you attached here, I can see several issues:

1.

Opening file zimage

Failed to load file \Storage Card\zimage

-> so Haret probably does not see any kernel at this path, you must first ensure the zImage kernel is there

2.

HaRET(121)# boot

boot KERNEL==UBNKERN INITRD==UBNINIT

Opening file =UBNKERN

Failed to load file \Storage Card\=UBNKERN

HaRET(122)# set KERNEL UBNKERN

HaRET(123)# set INITRD UBNINIT

HaRET(124)# boot

boot KERNEL=UBNKERN INITRD=UBNINIT

This looks odd too, probably a typo somewhere having 2 '=' characters in a row? Obviously is messing up with Haret.

These two shall be solved prior to trying to find out what the ram address shall be. Not sure about that neither (how to find it out).

Also important: what kernel are you trying to load by Haret? Found an interesting Thread of another guy porting Linux to another device:

(cannot past outside links yet, so will put space in the URL, hope I won't get banned...)

w w w. mail-archive.com/haret@handhelds.org/msg01010.html

And finally: I do not own HD Mini, I do however own HD2 with daily used Android. My girlfriend however does have HD Mini... :) So I cannot test directly, but will try to watch this Thread and give a hand when I have some time...
[HD Mini Android Development] krook6023:
From what I can gather a patched HaRET is most likely needed...it was the first step to getting Android ported to the HD2.

You may want to reach out to fisher51112, he is working on Android for the HTC Mega which has the MSM7225 processor which is similar to the MSM7227 processor used by the Mini...see this thread.

there is info about kernel for htc devices,and haret
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
this has been talked before..it doesnt matter hardware is almost the same..and the answer is no..htc hd mini is stucked on winmo,the only way to get android on it is to do the same procedure like on hd2 or other phones..

Im kompling legend-MR-2.6.32 kernel but got some errors, after fix them and compile them i will try it and post here if it be success. Only problem will be what is memory adresse for buting it using haret, i dont know what is reall adresse. Anyone want to help me to search it on google to find way how to find memory adresse needed for startup.txt?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
In reality, the options for rooting a device this secure are limited. Even if a kernel exploit were found, the key partitions would still be unwritable, rendering su access useless. This was circumvented on the Tattoo very cleverly, using a specific memory address from a confidential Qualcomm datasheet, however this information is not yet available for the MSM7227 chipset used in the Legend (and indeed may never enter the public domain).

Hi mates, i was compile kernel successfully but i think definitely that the problem is haret! Haret must be patched and compiled for this device. After runing haret, system dont freze as a last time, but i got on screen message error in haret "terminating haret due to unhandled exception (pc=01f77494)". Who want to try this is zimage in atachment "used from android msm git source, kernel is 2.6.35, mtype (2705) used as startup.txt (Qualcomm MSM7x27)". I dont know what to try in next time, i will be happy if any developer want to help and post in this topic!

[HTC Excalibur] Phrack:
Ok so I installed a couple of new programs today and wanted to remove one of them only to find that my Remove Programs list was empty! I warm-booted, cold-booted, still nothing. After some searching I discovered that I have encountered the infamous Windows Mobile 50 programs installed bug.

http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=262

Following their advice I deleted a few keys from [HKLM/Security/AppInstall] after I exported them. My Remove Programs list magically showed all my installed programs except those I deleted from the registry. I proceeded to uninstall a few programs I barely used, manually re-added the entries I deleted and all is well once again...except...I count 47 installed programs...which means if I install a few more...WAM!! same problem!

So...My questions:

Is there some registry hack to increase the amount that 'Remove Programs' will recognize from 50 to maybe 100?

or..

Is there a third party uninstall program that can replace 'Remove Programs' that can handle 100+ installed progs AND.....

Will not require me to re-install all my apps?

I have already replaced task manager with Celetask ;)

I am running unmodded WM6 (Tmobile branded).

And no, I'm not going to flash my phone...yet.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Since a WM limitation would imagine sktools would show the full list.
[HTC Excalibur] tobbbie:
look for "easter uninstaller" - simple and does the job
[HTC Excalibur] Phrack:
Thanks for your replies guys...I'll give sktools and easter uninstaller a try..I won't have to re-install any apps will I? These progs should just read the installed apps from the registry right?

What other uninstall apps are people using right now? I've only had my Excalibur approximately 2 months and I've already hit the 50 programs installed mark so I know other here who've had theirs much longer must have encountered this ridiculous 'undocumented feature' before..

Well after I install these 2 I just need to install one more to cause the glitch again so I'll report back here..

One more thing...after reviewing the registry entries for installed apps I noticed all progs have a key with "uninstall location" and point to a *000.tmp file.

Is there anyway to execute this file, thus bypassing Remove Programs altogther and therefore eliminating the need to install a third party uninstall app? (I tried opening it with file explorer and Total Commander but wouldn't open - what program could be associated with them?)

Yes yes many questions....I'm an old skool hacker, new to hacking the Excalibur;)
[HTC Excalibur] tobbbie:
If you have not messed with registry entries the programs will find the uninstall info and act accordingly. Look at the files referenced and you should find their syntax is <wap-provisioning>. They are executed by the installer but I have no clue how they could be called manually.

Mind that some programs also bring their own (un)install dll with them to do some more advanced actions upon un/installation.

Don't mess around with this or the uninstall may not wok properly.

I have just accepted the 50 apps limit and am using the easter unistaller instead. Works as it should. SKTools is the swiss army knife for many jobs including installation.
[HTC Excalibur] Phrack:
I did find easter uninstaller but I don't know what the latest version is (0.3?) and only some rapidshare links with no author webpage or forum referencing those links - don't trust random files posted on RS so I went with SKTools. I also installed a few more programs.

Ooohhhhnooooozz!!!! My Remove Programs list is blank cuz I have more than 49 programs installed! How will I uninstall unwanted progs!?!?

Oh never mind, they can be removed with SKTools. Third party apps are better IMO than the crap included with WM anyway. It is fecking annoying that WM apps don't have a way to exit them and require task manager to close!!! Windows Mobile has been around for how many years and they still didn't add this while most third party apps have a close/exit function built-in! Good job Bill Gates:mad:

Anyway thanks to tobbbie and stylez for their advice and a word of warning to other WM users that you should install SKTools or Easter Unistaller ASAP to avoid this really stupid bug.
[HTC Excalibur] tobbbie:
easter uninstaller v 0.3 is the last version I have as well. I use it in my cooked ROM (a little resource-patched to get rid of foreign characters) - simple and fast. SKTools takes so long to start up...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishphude:
Hey all. Droid n00b here with a couple questions I was hoping someone could help me out with. Anyway I just rooted my phone and am using the stock rooted rom but I would like to put Froyo on it. I have seen a LOT of custom ROMs but all have different names and I am not sure how to tell if they are the FROYO kernel or the 2.1. So what is the best Froyo rom to flash ( I hope I am saying this right haha) Also is it true that the camera wont work?

Oh and for the second question. I have major light leakage around the left side and the bottom of the device and have already ordered my replacement and was concerned about turning it in rooted. Can I get into trouble? Is it illegal or anything if it is rooted?

Anyway, I have downloaded the RUU : The RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed file but it keeps telling me that it cannot see the Evo. And to make sure that it is connected.

Anyone else had this problem?

Anyway as I am new here and have no idea how long response time will take, I'll wait a couple hours before i cross post over to andriodforums.

Thanks so much for all your help,
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishphude:
BTW I did see the Roms page and that page but 2 of the Froyo Roms are designated as Dev. Does that mean that I shouldnt use those? maybe there are ones that arent dev that I can use?

and last point the reason that I am thinking about the froyo rom is becasue my battery life is attrocious. I am talking 4 hours moderate usage and its gone.

I have tried the Hard reset. I have tried the supposed HTC on off on off on off change. I have also done the CDMA "fix" as well and still it is terrible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdude:
You should probably not root if you are going to return the phone because they might be a bit upset. It's not illegal, but they may charge you for the phone. If you've already rooted, just install the stock RUU and it should take care of it.

As for Froyo, the one from Avalaunch is really the only usable one right now. However, as it is a dev ROM it has some issues and there are some things that aren't working. If you are a self-described "n00b", you'll probably want to hold off until things get a bit more stable.

If you are having battery life issues, try any of the 2.1 ROM's that are more stable. Almost all of them offer better battery life than the stock ROM. I think the best ROM in this sense is the non-Sense ROM since it has almost all of HTC's battery-sucking elements removed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishphude:
OK I cannot seem to get the RUU to work. I keep getting:

Errror [170]: USB Connection Error

The ROM Utility cannot connect to your android phone etc....

I have tried all 4 of my USB slots and I am running windows 7. Anyone have any ideas? Or other ways to get the EVO back to stock?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdude:
Try a different RUU. If you tried .6 use .1, and vice-versa. Both are stock and should be fine. If you still have the issue, try Google. There are a whole bunch of different things that can cause this issue from a bad RUU to antivirus, firewalls, etc., so there are a whole bunch of different fixes.

EDIT: Also check out the way to bypass RUU at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700680&page=2

If you have any more questions about this you should probably post to that thread as this is basically a duplicate.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishphude:
Yeah thanks for the response but see my above post.

Ok cool. I think that I will wait for the froyo that is more stable.

Ok again thanks. Good news. I'll try that one as soon as i pick up my new EVO that they just called and said they have. Perfect. Now all I need to do is restore this back to factory settings.

I have a mac in the other room. Is there an RUU that i can run off of the mac, maybe?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishphude:
do you happen to have a link to the .1 version?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishphude:
grabbed the .1 version as well as the .6 and niether can communicate with my Evo. hmmmm
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] edru:
Can someone point me to a Hero ROM that is fully MT3G 1.2 compatible?

Ive attempted hunting, both in dream and magic, and I see some listed for MT3G - but isnt specifically mentioned 1.2 or not and dont wanna risk flashing non compatible items.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
There is not a Hero rom that is 100% fully functional with any MyTouch 32b device. This includes the new MyTouch 1.2 devices. There are a few ports if you look hard enough but they are not ment for the device and aren't fully stable. Bluetooth won't work and in many cases you will have to reboot your phone every few hours. I have created a port based off a Legend rom that runs alright (no bluetooth of courrse) but the longest that I have had it running (with very little use and only about 50 or so apps installed) was about a day or so.

You could use the about:debug method, but I don't think that's permanent. I just use Dolphin HD browser and set it to desktop since I like it better than the stock browser anyways.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronopc:
Yeah, I'm using the about:debug method. I wish I would be permanent.

I completely agree with disbanding all of the mobile websites. They are just annoying and it's not always easy to find the link to switch to the desktop page.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
someone needs to find a way to make the default browser (i like the default browser) able to permanently go full site, without rooting.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kipue:
I know that this not exactly what you want, but Dolphin Browser HD has that option, to always go to the desktop version of a website.

That does not help for the default browser, of course, but maybe something to consider, if you didn't know about that option?

He broke his contract and deserves to be fired. I think it's also possible for him to be criminally prosecuted as well (depending on how severe the leak is)

from what I remember I think it was in the thread about a guy that worked for a florida sprint. The thread was called in u live in florida pm me or something like that, but the did post something like that either in his thread or a different one.

[EVO 4G General] 20tibby_gt06:
if u go to Engadget and click on the source link it takes u to mobile crunch where they were able to get the google cache of the thread and it states that the post said 66483 were sold.

edit: but that number is just what sprint sold not from third party places like radio shack best buy and such. Plus we don't really know what the guy was looking at in the internal sprint numbers it be off
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
66.5k sold by sprint?? hhhmmm.... seems low

I would really be interested in the real total EVO's sold on the first weekend.

Depends if that is only Sprint numbers. Add to that Walmart, Best Buy and Radio shack and that is a pretty good week.
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
He can definitely be fired for breaking a contract. However, one can argue that he can sue Sprint for being insincere. After all, they lied and he spoke the truth. Lying to public may result in damages to shareholders and the common good, and judges and jury may consider it important.
