certificate issue

Hi, I try to install android on my hd2, the first time it work and ran on android, while it was running android I took of the battery because it was frozen and after most of my apps wont work because every time that I try to open a error messages appear saying that "the file ....... cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found"

Any idea how can I fix this ?

Latest builds

Okay, since the inception of the working builds, I have had a pretty high success rate. However, these newest ones are causing some problems.

Android_Boot_Test_TS.zip - Will launch and get to the unlock screen, however as soon as I touch the screen it goes BSOD.

Parad0XUA_Experimental.7z - Will go to the cool Nexus One startup animation but just cycle it over and over again until it finall BSODs.

I have sifted through the board but I don't see any fixes... anybody else experiencing these?

How did you even manage for it to even load, I have the mininum requirement of radio version 2.08, and when i load haret, only the first 5-6 lines of linux bootloader show, then the screen turns into an image where everything is mixed up. Kind of like static on a T.V. Any reason why it is doing so?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
That corrupt screen is normal. It was mentioned before. Just wait, it will boot.

does having a 2.13 radio affects the process?

I get up to the part where it say's "rebotting in 5 seconds" and gets stuck :(

Do I need to hspl? Also my hd 2 is tmous...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] groggit:
You only need HSPL if you were going to change your radio, which you shouldn't have to if you have a TMOUS HD2. Any radio using 2.xx.50.xx should be fine.

Which build are you trying to load?

As non devs lets try to be as useful as possible. When running Haret, I get the blue sceen more often when I have Sense on. Can anyone confirm. I can't code, but I do hope we can ease this difficult process so some means of testing

When running HaERT and its done loading. it says booting in 5 seconds and then nothing happens.. I let it sit there at "booting in 5 seconds" for around 10 mins and nothing still happens.. please someone explain to me what should I do?

I think BSOD its Normal for this moment, I look at my Log File the caused of BSOD is always screen resolution.

^ check radio rom 1rst and read the 1rst page
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dimdimdim:
can't be sure it is "static screen" or what else, it just starts booting (small white text on black screen) and stops at "jumping to kernel". I've been waiting above 20 min - it doesn't go further
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] omfgtimmy:
Im sorry, im a bit confused. are you telling me to check my radio rom?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Knucklessg1:
I confirm it DOES work, but sometime it freezes on boots and since it stays on static screen, i makes you believe it is not booting when really it is normal for it to freeze..

I've updated my ROM to Artemis v23.0 B and since I have to reflash the radio almost every time I want to start Android. :confused:

Incredible work guys.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XerBom:
Don't listen to anyone telling you that a 'Hard Reset' is required to fix this. I had the same problem, and the issue is because your microSD card is tied up in other processes and Windows Mobile can't access it after running the Linux builds. All you have to do is power down your phone, reseat the card and turn the phone back on. Worked for me everytime this happened (3 times).

problem

Hi, i have downloaded the latest android build, and when i run haret, it crashes after the line '11.353087 init panel'

I just wondered if anyone else had this problem and/or a solution

thanks

RTFM...

Upgrade your radio to a 2.XX.50 one.

PLEASE READ THE THREAD!

EDIT : A good candidate for the radio would be the 2.12.50.02_2, a lot of people (including myself) are using successfully this one.

Victamone, they are compatible with the TMO US HD2, but they are very beta builds and are extremely unstable with about 90% of the phones features not working(no audio, no vibration, no camera, no bluetooth, no wifi, no gps, no g-snesor etc)

In the irc channel it looks like everyone is working on audio and wifi. Isn't it much more important to get the BSODs and freezes fixed first. Who really cares if you have audio or wifi if your phone is going to BSOD every 90sec?

If anyone wants GSM to work in the sense builds, try the rootfs file i have attached to this post

I understand we can help people with their questions but the problem is they keep asking the same questions over and over again. The thing is the more and more questions, the less useful this thread becomes. Guys, just because you cant boot into android doesnt mean you have to post and ask what to do. You've read that they recommend you to switch your radio roms and SD cards also help. Move the files to the root etc etc.

They are Alpha builds so I don't see whats the rush of all

of you guys to run it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jtk72:
I'm not a developer, I'm just somebody very interested in having Android on my HD2. Hell, I'm chomping at the bit to get this on my phone. That being said, I will wait, patiently, until these developers are able to work out the kinks and get out of the Alpha stage. Since I'm not a developer and I have no idea how they are getting this to work, I won't be adding this to my phone and then be asking endless questions on how to install it or why it won't work. If you don't know how to install it, then you really have no business slapping it on your phone. If you don't have a background in this stuff and can't actually test it and contribute the the build, then just sit back, check the forum every few days and see what they've released. When they get to a more stable version, I'm sure they will post it with included instructions on how to make it work.

I'm not trying to be a jerk but we all need to be a little bit more reasonable here. It's exciting. But unless you have the background, be patient and let these guys do their thing.

Where is the best place to get the most up to date builds
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] -NRG-:
Because to make a stable and good release they have to make all the drivers work properly and thats what they are doing. If an app needs the g-sensor, android needs to have the drivers for it else it wil crash... unless they make a good error handler for it.. but that might make also some amount of time..

So good drivers are necessary for a stable rom..

BTW:

V4 of the sense build works great, no more screen flickering and seems slightly more stable. The sensors seem to work properly as well. At first i thought it crashed immediately beceause of the washed out screen after the flashlight went on. It boot's most of the times of any rom i tried all sense roms, clean roms without sense and the parad0xua rom.

Radio 2.12.50.02_2, 16gb class 6 sd card and hspl 3.

no, right now they are working on some better builds. It's very random whether it works for 30sec or 10min. Until they get some of the drivers ironed out everyone is pretty much getting the same thing you get.

Read up in the first post. You can swap out some of the advanced files in the build on your sd card and that will be how you can upgrade the build for the time being. That's about it. It's still very alpha.

er...wtf?

Can someone explain to me why we need the mod to waste the first post on explaining the rules:confused:

And, why this post moved to general when the OP and the purpose of this thread is to dev and build android for HD2:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zelendel:
The first post was changed due to letting every know the rules up front sense the mods have been ignored about the warnings before. We have warned everyone in this thread over and over again but no one listens so now that the rules are there for all to see and if ignored then bans will be handed out.

It was moved because the development is not being done in this thread but some where else.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
Oh man.... Clearly you don't know what is going on. We have been in contact with the OP/Devs and have all come to the determination that this is not a development thread. It's simply a place where the devs have chosen to keep you users up to date and let you discuss and test the current releases, possible future releases, your hopes for the future.

This was not created as a development orientated thread. The reason that the OP had to be taken to explain the rules is because users can't seem to figure out exactly how to follow them. By posting what you're posting now, you are in fact violating the rules posted in the first post.

Thank you for clarifying the situation. However, it'll be helpful if you also mention which rule(s) people have violated.

What is Wrong with Moderators?

In my modest and humble opinion, there is too much moderator interference in this thread.

The developers are also getting fed up of this.

You say that space and bandwidth is being wasted by posts, Rest assured that there are many threads on XDA with a whole load of junk and no moderator ever focused on them. While it seems that whole XDA mod team is concentrating on this thread, each mod has its own idea. Every new post is read by nearly 10 mods and then they vote democratically either to delete it or keep it.

Closing, Opening, Re-opening, Re-closing, changing its link, moving it between sections !!!

What is wrong? Moderators, Please leave this poor thread alone. I respect your efforts but they are really unnecessary.

htc-linux twitter status of Dcordes said "@xdadevelopers can you explain to my followers why hd2 linux thread URL is broken please? Cause I can't and tbh I'm getting fed up w/this"

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zelendel:
Well to be honest If there wasnt so much flaming and junk then we wouldnt have to be here as much. Do you think I enjoy doing this? I will not explain this again. The thread was cleaned up and moved to better fit as it stands right now. Personaly I am not interested in the project. I would have bought an Android phone If that is what I wanted. So as long as the rules are followed then we will let it be but if they are not then people will be banned plain and simple
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mmbika:
Hi Guys,

From an end user point of view, I feel it very confusing and boring with sheer load of information. For example, when you want to install and run, say Android on HD2 (for a try and as a change) you are faced with enormous hundreds of pages in a single thread, which I believe no one would have time and desire to go though each and every word just to go to the root of the single topic. Such forensic type lengthy boring and complex work is a real burden on normal users who are not into ICT nor are developers. I have always wished that something sort and sweet with clear cut instructions is posted which is easy for everyone to understand and follow, like 'point-and-shoot' camera. I only request that final work is made a neat and clean package with simple instructions like put this in storage card, hit HaRet.exe and voila, your HD2 is now Android one. This is not an offense but despite having liked and loved this forum so much, it has become an ocean which you can't swin across just to get to one specific fish.. Imagaine out of hundreds and thousads of fish out there, you have to caught one specific and you are required to scout the whole ocean for that!

But I do appreciate each and every post, only it is getting extremely difficult to get to the specific information or solution without putting in long hours searching for that elusive words of information.

_______________________________

And, in continuation, can we start something like a Q&A channel which some of the developers here can volunteer (in turn so no one is burdened with) to whom anyone can put a question and in a time bound fashion (say 2 hours or maximum within 12 or 24 hours) he/she gets the answer via PM to his/her specific problem or issue.

Thus there will be no more clutter, people get their specific issue solved and if then it is worth sharing, Q&A channel can post for evryone to know, else trivial issues are sorted out internally and thus forum remains much more vibrant source of to-the-point information.

As we have moderators, we can also have 'answering experts' type volunteers and they answer the questions to-the-point.

How about this suggestion?

i agree, this is after all xda developers, not "xda end users to try out everything and complain forum". there is a huge wiki posted on page one that answers nearly every question in this thread, from non-functional wifi to bsod. as someone who never used haret before, it only took me a few minutes to figure out via the thread, a simple search on google and watched a video on youtube.

and personally, i got more information from following the irc chat logs, twitter (htc_linux and hd2_android) than anything worth a damn from this thread since it got posted on all the tech blogs and we got the exodus of new users. my 2 cents on this thread.

booting android from bootloader

Hello All, I hope my questions won't sound too silly....

Is there a way to boot Android (or ubuntu) directly from the bootloader mode (tricolor screen, via MTTY for example), wihtout using Haret?

I am using HSPL 2.08 and trying to install an MFG SPL now. Would there be a bootloader command that would allow me to boot initrd from the SD card?

thanks a lot for your help!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NetRipper:
This is why there are various ways of attaining information:

1) The first two posts (or rather, post 2 and 3 now) by dcordes are kept updated with the latest progress.

2) Follow @htc_linux on twitter (or check www.twitter.com/htc_linux every now and then for updates)

3) There is also a thread about Android builds for HD2, where you can find newer end-user builds.

4) And if you really want to be "on the edge", you can read the irc log of the developers when they're busy working on this at http://irclog.netripper.com/?chan=htc-linux . And if you're a junk that needs his info realtime, get an irc client and join the channel (but please use #htc-linux-chat for chatting to offload the developers from non-developer or status-updates talk).

With all this info, you don't even need to search the thread. Even if you still believe you can't find answers, the search usually works perfectly fine for me. People tend to describe problems in many different ways so any search with some decent keywords should give some answers.

Not yet. First of all it's too early to boot the kernel directly from the bootloader, as for some things we still lean on initialization by Windows Mobile. For example, we don't have the code to turn on/off or initialize the LCD panel yet. When booting from Windows Mobile, this hardware is already initialized into a usable state. When booting from the bootloader, this hardware must be initialized first.

Basically: power management has to be fully implemented first (ability to go into full standby and get out of it), before attempting to boot from bootloader.
