Data Problem

My data connection appears to have stopped working this morning for some reason and I can't seem to get it to work again :(

I'm running FroyoStone Sense v3.1 with radio 2.10.something and it's all been working perfectly until now.

I'm in an area with strong data coverage and the H icon with the arrows is showing up with 4 bars of signal (O2 UK) so it is showing that it can see the network, but I can't connect to it. I've even booted back into WinMo and tried the data connection there to see if it is the phone or network, but data in WinMo works OK.

I tried updating to FroyoStone Sense v3.2 by copying the 2 files, but that made no difference so I replaced the files with the ones from v3.1.

I don't really know what else to try... I don't recall anything changing as it appeared to work last night but seems to have stopped since I woke up (I keep my phone on at night).

Any help would be really appreciated and I can provide more info if needed!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] curiousGeorge:
That's right. It's really a shame the devs (dev?) seems to have completely abandoned this project as of 0.2. It was truly unique and exceptional.

I guess if we really want a micro computer we must either move to a real tablet or "build our own" -- an incredibly complicated task that the "guide" simply glosses over -- you need Linux, you need to know how to fiddle around with the gnome UI and loads of config files, you need to do some tweaking (even deving!) on the device itself (which is very hard without the USB periferals owned by the folks who were working on this), etc.

Practically, either we're expected to be both Linux wizards and experienced developers or else we're left in the cold. ;)

But that's okay; it's really meant as a proof of concept, and I can imagine the devs have found other uses of their time (probably screwing around with _real_ tablets like the "Dell Streak" and other obscure random things).

I couldn't find any answers to this post anywhere on here, and I'm having the same problem-- Ubuntu v.0.2 seems to run on my HTC HD2, but it won't recognize any USB devices (tried 2 mice, a memory stick, and a keyboard, so far). They all seem to be getting power, and they all work on my PC, but not on the HD2. Any suggestions for how to get this to work? Thanks.

Bumping this thread so maybe someone reads post 1 and realizes they are donating to the "wrong" people, or missing some out at least.

Please consider donating first to the devs working to improve android on hd2(kernel-hackers etc.) rather only to rom-builders who simply fiddle together some files provided by the devs.

thank you devs!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Agreed... I think a lot of users don't realize who's doing the real work and just see the chefs because they package the builds together into a nice neat package. Most chefs do no actual coding or developing. Some may do small amounts. There is a great donation thread in the hd2 android general section that is collecting donations to split between dcordes, cotulla, netripper, letama, and markinus... the 5 devs who have contributed and put the most work into this project. Without those 5, we wouldn't be where we are today with this great port. That donation thread is a great way to make one donation that will be equally split between them, so you dont have to make 5 separate donations to be fair. The devs are on board with that thread and all donations are publicly posted, so you know the op isn't cheating or scamming... the devs will receive the donations and its equally split, so its fair. I'm on my phone right now, so I can't easily post the link, but it shouldn't be hard rom find in the hd2 android general section. I'll post a link once I get on a computer.

Everyone should try to donate... even if its only a couple dollars, to show the devs your appreciation and to help keep them motivated to keep the progress going. If everyone donated even a dollar, it would add up.

help

i have read a lot of pages of this forum and i still can't figure it out.

Not a long time ago I bought an HD2 and wanted to install android on it.

I installed HSPL 2.06 and installed one of Darkstone1337's android builds.

It ran perfecetly untill my device ran out of power. It went out and I plugged it in to a powersource, the device booted and I used the Gen.Y dual-boot software, selected android and it just stuck at the green htc letters. So I deleted every file related to android and did the whole installationprocess again, but every since it freezes at the small letters, which say:

HaRET boot

shutting down hardware

Turning off MMU

In pftloader

PSR=600000df

Tags relocated to 0x11B00100 ( size 0x00000f00 )

Kernel relocated to 0x12200000 ( size 0x0023f12c )

Initd relocated to 0x12200000 ( size 0x001d0131 )

Jumping to kernel

And then it freezes there and stays like that forever...

Can someone tell me what to do? I'm a total noob in flashing phones...

I hope you guys can help me.

Right now i am using a Chucky Windows Rom and according to the official HTC database i am using a Vodafone branded HD2 ( which is unbranded because i use an Hi sim )..

thanks

What happened? I installed the HSPL 3 from the guys sig then went through all the steps, it all successfully happened yet the HD2 is still the same Android isn't running. Whatup? Did I not reboot it fully? I just turned it off and on

It does seem to have the Energy MOD running, could that be why? If so, how do I fix this problem?

Layman's terms?

I appologize for my lack of knowledge about the subject. I am neither a developer nor am I a programmer. I am, however a network administrator and an owner of the T-Mobile HTC HD2 (Leo). I have been reading several threads in the XDA forums, frankly because you fellows seem to be the only ones on the interweb that is working on these issues. Perhaps XDA developers are the only ones smart enough to port linux to the HD2? Who knows.

I am awaiting the moment when I can use my phone as a WEP cracking machine. I understand that it has the bcm4329 chipset in it, which, according to another of your threads, is compatible in RFMON mode (correct me if I'm wrong). I have not seen anything so far (that I can decypher) that indicates packet injection will be possible (again, please correct me if I'm wrong). I also understand that this process depends on the porting of the linux kernel. Until I read this thread, it was my understanding that there was not a working linux wifi driver for the bcm4329 yet, however it seems you devs have solved that? Is this driver capable of RFMON and/or packet injection? Can I run the aircrack suite on my device yet? If not, is this something that will happen in the future? Soon? Perhaps if we are close to this point, I could donate. I'd really like to be able to manage my networks without having to drag around a laptop, as mine currently is incapable of WEP cracking.

I appologize if this has already been answered but as I stated before, I'm not a developer or programmer, so I am having a bit of trouble decyphering pretty much anything in this thread.

Updates on Android

HI!

So, Im loving the Froyo Darkstone Edition of Android on my HD2. Been a proud member for 5 months now. But I have a question.

Like any regular Android phone, the build might get a software update once or twice. Now, Ive gotten it many times, but I can never update my software because when it tells me to restart my phone, it goes back to Windows 6.5

Is this normal? Or is there a way around this problme so that I can install the software update? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thank YOU!

Android's stability on the HD2

I must say since the release of Andorid on the HD2 the progress has came a long way. I can officially say now that Android out performs Windows on this device and is more stable. Only thing left is nand which really isn't a rush.

Tmobile US

Radio 2.15.50.14

HSPL 3

Energy Rom (forgot the version I never boot into Windows any more:)

JMZ dual boot

MCCm SE V3.3

Hastarin kernel 8.4

Daily usage: Navigation, Exchange, Wi-fi, Maps, Email, Facebook, etc... no problems

I formatted the SD card and have installed 2.10.50.08_2 Radio which is "known to work". I have the latest NRG ROM. I am booting Linux using JMZ's dual boot.

Been a while since I post here. I'd just like to say that I've been running Bangsters 1.5 with Energy ROM and it is VERY fast and stable. This is by far the best Android build I've tried, my 2nd favorite being Shubcraft which is now discontinued. I very rarely experience any freezes, not even screen of deaths. I use SetCPU to slow down the CPU when the screen is off and when the battery is low and my battery life is pretty great, probably better than when it was when I first got the HD2 and used Windows.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NetRipper:
This is a rare but known issue. Every now and then it is possible that you boot android at the exact moment Windows Mobile is writing something to the registry, effectively corrupting it.

Unfortunately the only solution is to hard reset your device back to factory defaults (or flash the device).

Only apps that are stored in the ROM itself can be used.

On the page where i downloaded ubuntu 0.2 i read that is impossible to connect to secured wlan. But i could, for the guys who have problemes i say what i did:

At first switch to portrait mode because some windows are so large that you can't aply changings. Then open the manager whre all wlan networks are listed and search for yours. The third step is: DON'T click connect ! Click proporties ! On the bottem of the window you'll finde a text field where you enter the key the confirm the changes and connect.

Are there any lighter if not smaller distros of Linux to my HD2?

I would love to try Linux om my mobile, but I don't have a large enough MicroSD for the Ubuntu-distro.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] plopper:
yes there are smaller distro's but they are either command line based or only available for i386.

the i386 based distro's are a no for the simple reason that there is a arm cpu inside the hd2.

the command line based distro's are a no because they would have to compile every piece of software for the users (aka building a software repository themselfs).

those are mainly used for development/controller boards.

so they are stuck with big distro's which have arm versions (like ubuntu has).

now when it comes to size or cpu speed, gnome isn't a good idea, xfce is small and developed for slow cpu's like the arm.

but it's a lot harder to use then gnome, so this actualy makes gnome a good idea (it avoids a lot of questions and problems from noobs, so they can focus on development).

so what you could do is to follow the manual and create your own version, but with xfce/busybox instead of gnome (i'm about to try the same but using fedora as i kinda dislike ubuntu).

not easy but can be a lot of fun, specialy when all works out.

you could browse distrowatch.com to find the flavour you like, but remember it has to be arm based (unless you wanna compile everything from scratch).

the search from distrowatch is failling tho, as not all arm distro's are listed on it.

to the guy asking about netbsd: same story as above basicly, it's a DIY job.

the distro can do it, it has full arm support including a software repo (even tho ports are prefered above packages).

to the guy who wanted to crack wep: google for airomap and forget about cracking it on the phone itself.

capture the data with the phone and send to a desktop to do the math, it might be simple but that doesn't mean it's easy on the cpu.

it might take a p4 a couple minutes to pass 15.000 IV's, but a atom cpu needs about 15 minutes to do the same.

to everyone complaining that the download links don't work, the torrent has about 20 seeds.

and if your isp limits torrents, try encrypting the transfers (which everyone should have enabled anyway).

and if that doesn't help, there are free vpn's around.

as long as 0.3 isn't released i'm gone keep seeding it (and everyone who downloads it should at least keep seeding it untill a ratio of 2.0).
