The desire build work perfect with the new Zimage as well. just make sure you delete the data.img and the other files not in the original package.

It will rebuild the data file and battery and stand by will work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Breakthecycle2:
For some reason now..it's not working. I tried the Desire build. It would go through the scrolling and then stop on a black screen with a flashing bar. I then tried Dan's Froyo build...1.0?, put the whole android folder on the sd, replaced the zImage with the latest one. It did the same thing, except now it's just a black screen...any ideas?

Hey guys,

is there any solution for the brightness problem after putting the device into stand by? I'm using Dan Froyo Build with the new Cotulla files...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BearZ:
that's not a new problem, it's what everyone is calling "turbo mode" or something. reset the phone and run haret.exe again

I can only give an opinion based on my own experiences (using cotulas latest zimage with froyo build1.0) but I would say theres still work needs doing before it could be used as a full replacement.

The latest zimage seems to fix the battery charging problem but on my test version I now have an extremely dimmed screen (with the original froyo zimage file the screen was adequately bright). The sleep of death has also been fixed for the most part with the latest zimage but im still experiencing problems with the robot sound, the clock is running too fast as it always has on my android tests (turbo mode) and the camcorder doesnt work. Not sure about the camera, it loaded but I havent tried taking a test picture with it. Also the back is still running very hot which would lead to excessive battery drain.

The project is progessing very quickly but its still very much in beta stage and is good for playing around with to get used to android but could not (on my phone anyway) replace WM6.5 just yet.

For the full brightness disable pocket mode in windows mobile. It worked for me. Sad that accelerometer doesn't work with Danijel's Froyo and Cotulla's zimage. I hope Cotulla will release sources (or build) soon. I also hope for NAND version, I'm done with windows

not a valid pocket pc application

Hi guys - can anyone help?

Am running a UK HTC HD2 and trying to load the desire base ROM V3.

I downloaded it all and then ended up with the black screen. Following the advice on here i then went to download HSPL3 and a suitable radio which i can install with customRUU however, i fall at the first hurdle!

Everytime i try to run HSPL3 it says "Not a valid pocket PC application". I then tried to install HSPL and HSPL2 to see if that made a difference (just a guess) and they both say the same thing.

Tried to skip that stage and go straight for installing customRUU but after clicking setup, it says "this hotfix is not compatible with your device"

Really keen to get this working and tested, any ideas how i can install HSPL and updated radio?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
You're right but it won't work.

The problem is that the /init script inside the initrd has to mount the partition where the actual rootfilesystem (e.g. android-rootfs.ext2) lives.

Since we did not enable nand driver (for internal storage) yet, this is impossible. mmc driver works so we can use that.

One option is to use usb mass storage. If you have the powered usb setup you could e.g. use rootfilesystem on USB stick or 500GB hdd :)

I am creating a sort of second stage bootloader that is executed in similar way like we start linux now. It has a small menu which can be navigated with the hd2 keypad buttons. It will allow to chose between different kernels and rootfilesystems on mmc or usb.

Of course once we flash to internal storage and use direct bootlaoder such things won't bee needed. I still see use for it because

A) not everybody wants to replace WinCE totally because they like the possibility to chose which is not present on the official android devices

B) it will take a while until kernel matures to not need WinCE to initialize our hardware.

Before I can finish this I have to beat some exams though.

edit: chris I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about placing the image in internal mem but you talking about sd card root right. Of course that works. You can edit /init inside initrd.cpio.gz to pick any mountable mmc filesystem or filesystem inside mmc parition.

edit2: somebody has a link to the 'dan builds' ? it seems they are popular so it will be nice to put them in the android build section of 3rd post.

Here you go mate its on the GameSquare site *HERE*. The Sense build is also on GameSquare.

I dont think the first post is very productive to the smooth running of this thread as its length will put people off reading it. I might have a word with dharvey about condensing it to the bass essentials.

I would also like to have a word with you about the FAQ post. Most questions are in the form of "how do I run this?" which can be covered very easily. Also posting a big FAQ link in your number2 post would get people to read the FAQ rather than posting repetitive questions.

If you want me to work on the FAQ im more than willing to help :)

Hi Mark.

I had the same problem of Robot Like Sound in calls. At that time I had CloudaFa's Rom. Then I tried Dutty's Roms but same problems. Then I tried Chuck's Roms and Energy Roms and the in-call sound became normal. I also tried a lot of different Radios also but that made no difference.

Hope that helps

I see three options that were uploaded since 7/17/2010. One is battery, one is sndin_bat_data, and the last is bkl_nodata. The BKL_nodata is the newest it looks like, but is there any specific findings on functionality improvements between the three?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voiceofid:
those of you with dan's froyo and using cotulla's latest image, the zip file came with a bcm4329.ko file, you need to adb push that file into /system/lib/modules

adb push c:\wherever that file is located /system/lib/modules

that will restore your wifi capabilities

Just tried it, we're getting closer. Both Sleep mode and backlight work. One problem though... When put into sleep, the screen will get green and blinks!!! Check it out, it's surprising!

At first I thought the device crashed, but it didn't, you can still wake it back up...

Edit: Doesn't do it all the time, but still the 100% backlight when sleeps...

I'm going to take a stab at this.

http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/Cotulla_zImage_BATTERY.rar

Has the battery working

http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/Cotulla_zImage_BKL_NODATA.rar

Has the backlight working, but no data

http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/Cotulla_zImage_SNDIN_BAT_DATA.rar

Has sound, battery and data working.

I know it might seem like common sense to some, but every little bit helps. And I could be wrong all together.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Slystorm:
As mentioned in the name BKL_NODATA doesn't come with data functionality. Meaning 3G network won't work (well, assuming it has ever worked...). Just tried it, it's less stable than the provious one. You have to choose: No light or no data? (it's like choosing between losing a leg or an arm :) )

BTW: One question to all of you guys. Does Android mess up with your WM clock as well? I mean, when I go back to windows mobile, I happen to have at least 3hours difference between real time and what's on screen

I dont think theres adb support yet. You need USB support for that. The Roms dont have root as far as I know, so you couldn't use a file manager..

you cannot copy and paste this file, because you cannot see the file unless you are in android. or if you are using linux there might be a way to do it through linux, but i am not sure

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] myself11:
I've tested latest Cottula release. Regarding 3G, sorry, I've reached the limit of my data plan, so I can't test it.

Concerning brighteness: the screen is more bright, but now it doesn's fade for e.g. 15 seconds before going completely dark. It goes from full brightness to black screen (and in the black screen there's backlight, so it doesn't save energy). It didn't add stability, cause sometimes it freezes.

Still no landscape mode.

EDIT: my android build is one week old, so results may be different with your HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tundra84:
Hey now, no need to start insulting one another. Two wrongs and all, right?

And btw, as long as you connect your HD2 to your pc prior to booting haret then you can go through the files on your android Hd2. I suggest using activesync mode as I haven't tried connecting with the other modes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] evolutionqy7:
right tried the new zImage and it seems ok...running on desire rom (seems more stable than froyo)

its very stable now for me...didnt try data cause got no 3G around where i live only wifi at home. but SOD is solved though the backlight is always on...anyway it solves the problem for now and u can mess around with it without crashing...battery monitor working but im not sure is it chargin or not since it keeps at the same spot...and when the device is meant to dim its lights up brighter lol...

does anyone have any type of solution to this that i might have missed through the six thousand pages of this thread?? or am i just sol for the time being??

Hyper mode. Reset the phone and rund clrcad.exe and haret.exe within 30 seconds of initial boot.

a. clrcad.exe is required for sound to work. When you run it, it will not do anything but it does run.

Check out http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/ and download the latest stable zimage.

a. currently http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/Cotulla_zImage_SNDIN_BAT_DATA.rar is the most stable.

You are reading my mind.

I did not want to mention it though because of the 'tensed' situation with this thread. As everybody knows some XDA moderators wanted to get rid of it.

I put that I am not responsible for the first post though as I think it doesn't only prevent people from reading on but even seems a bit unfriendly.. So I would welcome it a lot if you could try to improve this.

Any improvements are welcome so you can just pm me what you would like to see in the list or just edit it yourself. In that case it would be nice to send me a pm about the change though.
