[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rexzooly:
Maybe for some strange reason the US is still selling in but T-mobile discontined this device like other company's have as the winmob bugs are just 2 much for it the going for more android based phone this was from the T-mobiles guys them self on monday the stopped it a month or 2 back and same with Virgin Mobile they also stopped selling.

where can i find the most stable build for HD2? I was trying to use the search but getting too many conflicting results as of now
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Meiyo:
Using the froyo build , It seems stable , Though it is slow & scrolling is frustrating.

But it's getting there :D

Hopefully soon :D

And would like to thank all dev who work on this , truly amazing :D

meh, don't have the patience right now for it

From a merely theoretical standpoint, one should just be able to toss the kernel into the XDAndroid build, set the startup.txt to the boot parameters for the hd2, and boot that, but it fails complaining of a missing root at block 0.0 or something like that.

I don't know enough haret or basic linux booting to know where to go from there

hey guys,

i don`t know whats wrong, but when i try to boot android on hd2/leo with xdandroid i get an black screen with a lot of small coloured dots trough the screen. with the files from the first site of this thread, i get an black screen with a lot of lines until the boot freezes.

any ideas? can anyone give me a complete package what i can extract to my sd card?

thx a lot

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
Thanks, I agree. I'm no big fan of these donate threads. Especially in open source software projects like this. All dev info is public, everybody can contribute. Such threads make it sound like somebody is 'in charge' which is not the case. It will keep others from joining in. That's why my donate link says it's only for me personal.

I'm a student and only have time for a small job so I'm always accepting donations. But keep in mind this stuff is always teamwork.

Android

Hi guys if i can get my hands on a HTC Desire would that help get Linux and android up and running? from what im aware its pretty much the same as the HD2 same snap dragon processer etc
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HD2Owner:
don't worry guys. i will set up a android donation thread too so y'all can donate to all working members according to their work (we can discuss about it then).

i would've already opened it up but we need to see android booting first.

after that point i will open up the donation thread to motivate you even more to get a nearly perfectly working desire/evo-rom on our hd2's.

getting together 1400$ for da_g's wp7-project (hardware needed) was easy.

trust me.. all devs working on this will get many donations.....

to be honest... i would prefer a evo/desire-rom over a wp7-rom... but of course i would be happy to have the choice.

go on with your highly appreciated work.

If you have enough room on your hd card you can run both.

The new Froyo build runs out of its own folder "android", and should not affect your root files for desire v3.

T-Mobile has not discontinued this phone in U.S. still selling it strong, along with the Vibrant (galaxy S phone) in a week.

My HD2 doesn't boot

I have an HTC HD2 (bought in UK) with stock ROM 1.66.405.2 WWE. I've tried to use Haret but after start booting, the screen freezes goes blank and stay "in darkness" for 2 minutes with no change.

Then I decided to Hard Reset, do a HardSPL, put a new radio (2.09.51.03_2) and try it again: CLRCAD, Haret and my screen goes blank again and freezes.

Tried to turn off all Windows energy/screen settings and the same thing. So: I can't go on Android!!! Does any one knows what I am doing wrong?

Regards,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
I was about to try that myself. Do and see what happens, I'm guessing if it doesn't crash it should move a lot faster.

I just tested it, and it works fine. Try again maybe, I hosted it on the ppcgeeks server for the exact reason that it is very reliable and won't crap out like megauplaod.

edit: I was talked with the server admin guy and he said the PHP sometimes acts funny, so if you get any timeout errors or anything like that click it again and it should work fine. Also you're limited to 2 downloads per IP, so if using a downloader like FlashGeT it won't work. Use a browser or any client that doesn't try to make multiple connections. Or go "passive mode"

I have a stock HD 2 with all stock roms and radio on it from the time i bought it.

Its for a UK o2 version.

Will i have to do the update on the HTC website for the 02 version to prepare me to install linux?

Would that update also install the radio to a more up to date version that is needed for linux to run the radio correctly?

ADB

Hey guys,

Have been testing out each of the new builds as they arise for android, including desire v3 and most recent froyo build. One thing I can't quite figure out after searching around is ADB support for the phone. On the wiki for working items, ADB is shown as working but when I try and open an adb shell from my computer the HD2 doesn't show in the list of attached devices.

I am familiar with ADB and have it set up correctly since I have used it on other Android phones so I'm thinking an issue on the phone end. Enable USB debugging is checked in the application settings menu on the phone so thats no the issue. Any one have any luck using ADB or any advice.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] d3m0n1:
I believe that you need the 2.xx.50.xx radio on your HD2 to run Android (2.xx.50.xx beeing a US radio, and 2.xx.51 beeing an EU radio). 2.10.50.29_2 should be OK. Also try to format your SDcard with this program:

w*w.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/sdfv2000.zip

Yust do a quick format.

It's on the first page post #3

Android

Global instructions: Just extract to Storage Card root/main directory and run HaRET executable.

It is recommended to start this program before booting Linux. Also be sure to turn off automatic backlight scaling in WinCE.

But depending on which build you download, you might have to do something different.

On the Froyo build, you extract the android folder to your SD card, and it has to be in the android folder. You first run crlcad.exe (nothing will happen) then you run haret.exe.

good luck and enjoy the awesome work that the devs have put in. They Rock!

For all having the boot-problem with dan1j3l's Froyo-ROM v 1.0

read the README.txt (I copied all the stuff here that makes it easier):

To succesfuly run Froyo on your HD2 extract complete zip file to root of your sd card (not just files from Android folder, you MUST have Android folder in your sd card and all files in it)

To enable sound tap CLRCAD before runing HaRET !

In this build fallowing features are enabled : HW3D, Sound, Sensors, GSM, Data (3G/EDGE), WiFi, BlueTooth)

If you encounter turbo mode or green screen just restart and try again. Once system is booted it's pretty stable and responsive !

If you like my work buy me a beer ( https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=YV594VNMS9EBW ) :) thnx

pretty stable for me!

Hey zooly , is this pretty stable for you? just making sure before i come and make false comments! :) sorry about the quality is horrible but viewable!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW_AEd3BTFs part 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK94zgJ4oHw part 2

anyways, heres a video i made runing the froyo build. in the video i run pretty much everything i have right now, i watch a video on the youtube app(yes the app HQ no flash), open up dolphin browser and go to engadget(plus watch a flash video there), send a sms, open twitter, facebook, google talk, gmail apps. espsn app. go to settings, go to app market, change my wall paper, go to my pictures, make a phone call, show the accelerometer etc etc. works awesome in my hd2!!!

and zooly, just because the build is not final and doesnt have some things doesnt mean is not stable, its rock solid on my hd2! and just because others are having problems, doesnt mean that others cant say that it is rock solid!!!

Now i do agree this needs some work like, stanby bug, battery monitoring etc. but by no means is it as troublesome as people see it, that may be due to the persons memory card, hd2, rom, radio etc. and for it beign just betas runing around, im pretty confident that there will be a fully working rom pretty soon!! props to the development team for this, this is trully amazing, and super fast progress!

PRK
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 21productionz:
As far as I know, and from what I read. My understanding is that the "Sense build", and "Cotulas build" need to extracted to the root of your SD card. The Froyo build has to have the android folder extracted to your SD card. I will confirm, I extracted the contents of the android folder and it booted but didn't work properly. I extracted the folder and now it works great.

Good luck.

1) Download an Android build (with or without sense user interface)

2) Extract the contents to the ROOT of your sd card (Preferably format the card beforehand)

4) Launch haret.exe in the root of your sd (storage) card. Click Run (Preferably just after a soft reset)

Thats it!

STEPS ONLY IF YOU GET BLACK SCREEN:

The following information is ONLY needed if your linux doesn't boot and freezes with black screen and you want to change your radio to a linux compatible one.

1) Get HSPL3 from: http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=1893 (Only if you don't have HSPL, if you don't know, then you don't have HSPL)

2) Get a 2.xx.50.xx radio rom from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787 (2.10.50.xx is fine)

3) Get Custom RUU from: http://xdaforums.com/show...17&postcount=1

4) Install HSPL(connect your phone in activesync mode via usb cable)

5) Install 2.xx.50.xx radio via customruu. Don't worry about what CustomRUU says, you will not lose settings and data. (It won't hard reset when upgrading only the Radio ROM)

Thats it! Now you can run haret and boot android
