I am Impressed

First off, i want to say thank you to every one, the devs, and all the testers.

I would consider my self an extreme tester, and i just wanted to say the following;

I flash my winmo rom weekly at the least, sometimes several times a day, I have never really had any problems with any of the roms. I used to be a die hard android fanatic but went to the HD2 since it was the best of the best not too long ago, Havent been completely happy with winmo but it works.

I have downloaded every build that is easily accessible, MANY thanks to http://gamesquare.co.uk/. for making it easer.

I usually keep a copy of every rom i download that i use in a archived folder.

When i had my G1 as my main phone, i saved them all so i never had to dig through pages of stuff finding the one that i had used last that was better than the current.

I am looking to a website for every one like the one that was on androidspin, making things easer to find with release dates and notes.

I wanted to let people know that i have tried every android release that i can find so far for the HD2 and even tho i had issues in the first ones with the timers and BSOD, even one GSOD, but i have not had one issue with returning to winmo, sense, ctabs or information loss, as i see people having.

These are my current specs and hopefully this will help people while flashing different android builds.

USA TMOBILE HD2

HSPL2, I know HSPL3 is/has been out and is reccomended, but is there any advantage in using it, i dont want to change if i dont need to :)

Radio 2.10.50.26

O.S. 5.2.21908 (21908.5.0.93)

Manila 2.5.20161332.0

Energy.Leo.21908.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.08 (absoutly love the energy roms, always updated and he includes the program to back up all settings making the update flashes a pleasant experience)

i ALWAYS TASK 29 before all roms!

CLASS 6 8gb sd card with 6gb full (orginal 16gb card sucked and lost sucky replacement sd card.

Have not formatted sd card between any of the different android roms, and currently have ubuntu on it as well working with my wireless keyboard and mouse. Have yet to find a working usb network adapter that works :(

I do have one question if some one could help. When i started getting familiar with android/linux i got the HD2 and then focused my self of the operation of winmo. I haven't found any straight forward explanation on using the new zimage files. At first i tried just replacing the 3 files, Zimage, startup.txt and HaRET, but obviously that didn't work.:o

Just looking for any information.

Thanks All

Myabe in the dumb question category for those on TMobile USA. For those of you with the HD2 data plan, are you able to use the same data plan on the Android build (on HD2) or are you guys changing it to the Android data plan?

Reason I am asking this is because I rooted my G1 and I cannot use my HD2 data plan with the G1. The weather app on the G1 works fine but I get no internet, emails, etc. :(

Simply asking this because some guys are reporting the use of 3G with the Android builds on their HD2s.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
I have internet on my plan, can use 3G normally with winmo, and i know how to set up wifi.

I'm running the Desire v2 build.

Here's what I'm asking. Some people report 3G showing up with their network status, mine won't. As well, WiFi shows "Unable to start Wi-Fi".

As for Data connection, it says it's connected, correct service, but no Access Point Names and no internet.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] G-ThGraf:
So i've no idea bro'!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scrizz:
looks like you're going to have to add them ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kazriel:
There is no wifi patch included with this desire build, as it states on the website

"HTC Sense (HTC Desire base rom) v2

This build includes: Sound, 3D, G-Sensor, Light Sensor, Compass, Multitouch and high stability.

Radio/GSM and 3G connection is now functioning. "

No mention of wifi sadly.

I would recommend you try cotulla's build as I have found it similarly stable to the desire build, with working 3g, wifi and so on.

In my mind if cotulla build had functioning suspend and mic input it would be ready for daily use.

Truly astonishing progress in such a very short time
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaidedfocus:
Been trying to install this on my HTC HD2 but for some reason cannot. I read that you have to use a different memory card so I'm going to get a Kingston but before I do my issue is this.

I can download the builds but once I try to open them I get a message that says there is no associated program that can open it. I dL'd the Haret Bootloader and haven't been able to open it from that.

I've dl'd the Desire Build and the Cortulla and they both say the same thing with the above error message. I downloaded the Standard build and I got the farthest with that...but it goes straight to a dark screen and then nothing else...any suggestions?

Wifi works on desire V2 !

Cotulla Autolock Bug

Running the latest Cotulla build and the autolock bug was driving me crazy but I found a way around it....

If I play music using the music player it will still autolock but it does not seem to freeze for me.

EDIT: Scratch taht..... it just got stuck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
Put in an access point manually and now have basic internets. not real internets sadly though yet with mine.

For Jaided, try having a default sd card, place entire contents of build package on the root, and just click haret in file explorer. then click ok.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaidedfocus:
I've tried that...I have all files including the builds in the same location. Still no luck...:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malaeus:
im havin the same issue with the new version (v2 desire). everything else is very nice, and i get GSM connection. but i cant turn on wifi (unable to start) and no APN (list has nothing in it, and i can not access the menu to add a new one)

thats odd. i just realized on many internal menus the menu button is the same as the back button. however menu (start) works on home screen.

phone freezes when connecting phone call. sms works nicely.

so just wifi and data and actual phone calls arent working for me. everything else is amazing.

im running stock as well

2.13.531.1 rom

2.10.50.26 radio

do you by any chance have more than one build on root? and you have deleted all excess files when switching from rom to rom right? fsck00000 and such?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antaed:
had the same issue with the desire v2 build. couldn't add new apn because the menu (windows) button stopped working.

i suggest to try cotulla build, it works!

+1 the same for me with autolock

i disabled autolock in windows and trying again as we speak. so far so good...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kreitz16:
I got it installed but the boot screen just cycles endlessly. Anybody else have this problem? Thoughts on what the issue might be?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dddrko:
It's brilliant! Thanks to everybody included in this project! This has been a great month for all HD2 users out there!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] terminal 7:
hello.

so wifi and radio is all good now,, yay..

but i have no APN list or settings, ?anyone?..

also, whats the possibility of a rooted release? current build dis-allows use of $_SU command.. ..

"good work - its been a long haul and i have learned lots from this thread"

:)=====PEACE=====:)

Ive noticed that the clock is way too fast with all builds at the moment. seems to be a kernel problem... i ve seen that this affects a few people, but my question would be: is there anybody whoose clock-speed (time) is ok? i est. that mine is at 5x speed...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaidedfocus:
Yeah I thought about that and i started deleting the builds I wasn't using or couldn't use. Where is the fsck0000 file? Couldnt find it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kazriel:
This has been explained quite a few times over this thread. A very simple solution is just to boot haret immediately after booting winmo. This fixes this bug, but obviously is not ideal.

I also believe there may be a patch for it but I haven't been able to get this to work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scrizz:
you just have to keep rebooting until you get it at regular speed ;)

Hello guys, I need help I'm having problems extracting this file " "http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Cotulla_LEO..._WLAN_DATA.rar" from the first page, I'm on Mac using The Unarchiver

Error

Any ideas

Thank you all in advance

disable autolock in windows, soft reset and try android again. it seems to work for me.

how did you get marketplace to work? i can't login to my gmail account.

Strange bug that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

Experimenting with Cotulla's latest but can only get it to boot correctly maybe 1 out of every 5 loads. The other times, everything is in 'super fast motion,' as in all animations and system movements, beginning with the Nexus boot image.

Anyone experienced this? Any thoughts?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] experiment611:
Green Screen

Whats up folks i have extracted the files to root. I even launched haret and got the nexus one animation to load. but after it loads my phone gets a soild green screen. anybody else having this same issue ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] M_T_M:
Blue here every now and then. Reformat SD card and try again (at your own risk :rolleyes: )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DownPoster:
I've tried the Cotulla build, it's amazing fast, but my screen brightness is really dark and if I change it in the settings.. nothing happens?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rstweb:
hehe, i had this problem too, but i can't reproduce it. in my opinion we should not only talk about blue screen of death - the green screen of death (GSOD) is today!! :D:D:D

(Sorry for OT, but i had to say this ;) )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DownPoster:
Just try again and it will work ;)

[RE] Green Screen

Will do! Rebooting now... so far ive done it 3 times and still the green screen... I will keep trying to see whats what.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NathanRandom:
Not sure if it's been mentioned already but when I tried setting up a Google account with the initial setup it wouldn't find the Wifi. However when I skipped the google account and tried again when Android had been set up it worked, so now I've managed to set up an account and use the Market.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malaeus:
gave up on running sense right now. cotullas build works great. no audio, will the other exe from sense enable sound? 3g works wifi works, market is glitchy but works. its great. only small issue i found is touch sensitivity on swiping to new screen is a little touchy, but w/e

amazing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
This has been covered numerous times in the thread if you had looked. Disable auto brightness in Windows before running Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] experiment611:
[RE..] Green Screen

Goodnews... no more green screen! The bad news is... now my phone is stuck in the nexus one animation... ill try deleting the files and then re-extract them... after that..if it doesnt work... ill probably quit because its pointless after that really. ive booted and rebooted 10 times already...if i cant get it to work once... im done LMAO! Guess ill have to wait... thats not a bad thing though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
One thing I found helped to make things more reliable is to extract the files directly to the memory stick instead of extracting them to the computer than copying them across. I also set system.sqsh and data.img to read only before running haret for the first time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] experiment611:
cool i will try that now...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NathanRandom:
While the Cotulla build worked brilliantly the first time I used it, on loading it it gets to the Android lock screen and just goes to a black screen after a short period of time. Auto backlight is turned off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] experiment611:
okay.. tried the recommendation and still not working for me... this is my third reboot...still getting the eternal nexus one load screen...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] judhi:
green screen

Happened to me before. Likely caused by some old android boot files or root filesys. Deleted everything in root dir that certainly not known data/program and also deleted /AndroidApps. Downloaded who new package from gamesquare.co.uk/desire.html

Copied to SD root. Hit HARET. Works like charm!

Note: Wifi unable to start, bluetooth not starting, GSM works, HSDPA works, sound works.

Thanks to all who make this possible!

Radio ver 2.09.50
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blax123:
for me it worked with the exe from the other build. i copyed the CLRCAD.exe to the wifi/3g build, then started CLRCAD.exe and then haret.exe
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] -NRG-:
I used 7-zip and it worked fine on my mac. If that doesn't work try redownloading.. good luck!

As posted before audio doesn't work on the new 2.1 clean build, 3g speeds seem to be a bit slow. It's great to see the browser and such working. I can't enable wifi as well. Using radio: 2.12.50.2_2 HSPL3

Keep up the good work guys!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] judhi:
This animation looping also happened to me before. I was trying to be smart by mixing some files from different packages. Obviously just waste of time and not a smart move at all :) Just wipe everything from SD root and put all the fresh files from latest packages.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] snuphy:
No Mail - Love it!

Works great freezes at times but that's not news :P best release yet. I do have one question not sure if anyone else has had this problem or not so i'm asking and yes I did search the entire thread before I decided to ask so here it is.

After I install android (any of the releases yet including the new one) it works fine no problems I get in great. But when I go back to windows mobile everything seems to be fine but my email is gone lol... Just says "No Mail". I've tried every setting and even tried removing the account and adding it fresh. It just will not load my imap gmail mail to my phone. I have to do a hard reset to fix it.

If this is normal and i'm just missing something i'd love to know if anyone has experienced this as well.

Keep up the great work you guys are amazing :D

**EDIT** forgot to add that I can send email and it's working and when I hit send receive it does connect and "receive headers" but it's like instant it's definitely not receiving them it's just checking and logging out and ignoring the mall.

I keep getting a message "android.process.media has stopped working" and makes me force close.....any ideas?

I can force close it and it will function normally tho....what causes this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nebochenezzar:
Just wanted to let you all know, recently I have been playing with my old G1 and the 2.1/2.2 ports, and i know for a fact that the data will not pull through on the G1, this is because tmo requires the data plan on their end to be switched to an android plan. This means that our data plan for winmo is different than the one for android, requiring to go online and switch the phone to an android, and then change the data plan in the add remove/services tab. Now this usually tells me to just call and do it, so yea its a pain, but i am sure 3g does work (HD2 android), because it will pull some before tmo realizes and cuts the line.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
I don't think you'll have to do any of that. The carriers recognize your phone by the IMEI that it reports, that's how they can tell if you have a Smartphone or dumb phone and they can charge you accordingly. As far as the carrier seeing android on your phone, they can't. They will only see the IMEI and see an HD2. I never had any issues with my TouchPro or my Vogue on AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint in the US.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] babs18711:
hi guys

iv been trying to get the latest build from cotulla to work but it wont, do i have to add a data image with the files before it will work or something, other builds have worked for me just this one wont, any help would be great thanx

Fantastic work and a few issues

Well Dev's I am amazed I thought the day would never come using smooth build and working well for me only issue is sometimes screen goes blank then comes back when I push some buttons but some times it doesn't come back and I have to pull the battery also battery indicator shows a question mark can't believe you have come this far in such a short time! Can make calls, Wifi and app store. Donations coming soon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fjell_strom:
Totally agree with zguy30.

Can't believe I'm on the app store already, downloading and installing apps, making calls, playing games...

Full respect - has anyone got Youtube videos to play yet in either the browser or the Youtube app. Neither has worked for me so far but otherwise the web access is pretty much flawless.

Like an early Christmas present.

My experience

Had to load it 3 times:

1st time the load seemed to work but then got an error on the Android screen saying mp3 tried to load or something to that extent and then just froze on that.

2nd time the load was working and then went to a green screen and just stayed on that.

3rd time loaded perfectly.

Once loaded:

I was able to receive a phone call with caller id working perfectly fine. No sound, but I already knew that was the case. The wifi worked, I able to connect to google and sign in. Was able to see the different windows. The live wallpaper worked perfectly. Then I put the phone down for a few secs and then noticed the screen went blank and then did not come back.

Final thoughts/remark:

Extremely excited to see how smooth this was and how stable it was.

I'm new to all this so I am sorry if I am saying or doing anything that is wrong in posting.

I dont know if this is useful or not I saw this video on youtube its called "Android on the HTC HD2!" just thought id share because this video has a link to the Sense download of ANdroid.

Great job to all Devs!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] steady6:
how did you get the sound to work? everything is good wifi,text,bt, making calls but i can't hear nothing because of No sound. Any ideas??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] enyaj:
I was able to load Android Sense build v3.5 he first 2 tries. Now I'm unable to load any of the builds. i'm not sure why or what happened. I just extract to root of storage card and run Haret.exe.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Finezt:
i like to know that to it works GREAT btw only youtube doesn't work

i think you need te run CLRCRD.EXE if you don't have it i'll upload it

but I didn't test it yet

LOAD CLRCRD.EXE and sounds work but still no youtube

Nice one, didnt think of that...done the backlight thing so this should work cheers! About marketplace, I had setup an account on my deskop then used that on the phone, was logged onto my wifi, dont think that would have done anything bar speeding it up.

Also found if I didnt do this, it wouldnt work for me properly

I forgot to mention this as well, lots of weird error messages pop up on start up..have to force close them...any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nebochenezzar:
That was my understanding, but when i booted up my G1 last week, i could get no data, just directed to tzones, and asked to change my data plan...I mean i hope its just some glitch, but for some reason, i have no data on 3g (wifi) works fine, but when i called to change my plan for some other reason, i asked and i mentioned the problem with the g1 getting on data, and he said yes, i would have to have him switch me back to the 'android data plan' for me to have it working on my g1, maybe it should not error with the HD2, but on the downloaded rom for android is id'ing the phone as a N1....i do not know who is right, but i have had to do this to get my G1 data to work.

Sense Desire Rom v2 working well without freezing or crashing. I've used it about an hour.

But "New Extra Smooth Cotulla android" didn't worked. It stuck at nexus one boot animation. I've watched that animation about 5 mins... then soft reseted.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] steady6:
i had the same problem. you need to delete every file you previously installed
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fhaines:
extract directly to sd

Installed New Extra Smooth Cotulla version first time by copying files over to sd and It hung at the boot screen. I deleted all android files and folders on the sd and extracted directly to the sd the second time. Worked like a charm. Just need a working mic, sound and I would spend most of my time in android. :rolleyes:

Thanks everyone involved in getting us this far!
