Well OK I was able to unzip it but when I tried to install it on my HD2 it gave an error message saying the rom was not for my phone.

Any ideas anyone?

Specifically, Error 244 "This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone Please check your Update Utility.

PDA Phone Rom Update Utiity 3.27.4.3

Did I get the wrong Rom?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] velcrobandits:
that doesnt sound safe. do you have tmo? if thats the case, you sure you picked up a t-mo compatible rom? you know the rom development forum should have a full faq for this but whatevs. sorry for before i didnt realize the file was still in .7z format.

in other news, still no love on the gps front?

I have the mattc nexus 1.1 2GB android version installed.

I am assuming you may have to flash HSPL3 and then flash a custom ROM of your liking. I use MIRI_DINIK v 17.6 to fix the robotic voice problem. Search this website for instructions.

Energy.Leo.21914.Sense2.5.Aug.28.7z

I downloaded a program to unzip the file. I clicked on it it began the process of updating the existing original Rom on my Tmobile HD2 to the Energy.Leo.21914.Sense2.5.Aug.28.7z. Prior to completion I got an error message saying the Rom would not work on my PDA phone. I thought the Energy 21914 Rom was supposed to work with TMobile HD2. Did I download the wrong Rom?

Thanks,

first check if the rootfs.img is in the /android folder. then check if in startup.txt

you have a line that reads set cmdline "rel_path=Android"

i think that might do it. other people might have more advice.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] velcrobandits:
if the thread says the rom is compatible then you're all straight. sorry ive never gotten that error message. you might want to search the thread. if the the load bar finishes on your phone, you turn off your phone (maybe do a battery pull, dont remember if thats necessary) then perform a hardreset. i think its holding both volume buttons and hitting the power button. again, all in the rom faq. sorry im tired and i havent flashed a rom in a while.

alright guys, im going crazy. the shubcraft thread says it comes preconfigured for gps. I got into Droid Explorer, checked out the gps.conf file. Instead of replacing the server names that started with 0, 1, 2, 3, I simply replaced the europe. with north-america. as suggested in another thread. gdammit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sbarta:
Actually the load bar did not finish it got part way finished and then I got the error message. I made another attempt with the same result.

I think I will download the ROM again tomorrow and try it again. Maybe my first download was corrupted somehow.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonny68:
cheers but still getting an error when i click on haret as follows..

I'm pretty sure it's something straightforward, i am not exactly sure what is meant by the "root" of the SD card and exactly why it needs to be run from it.

Is it worth waiting for a build that will be usable from NAND, i wouldnt mind having a look at Android on the HD2 now but it just seems to be a lot of hassle, anyway if someone can be of assistance here then cool,cheers.

Excuse me, but i'm not really used to flashing and all that kind of stuff.

When I want to flash radio 2.12 using HSPL2, I only get the option to flash 2.08.000 or 2.08HSPL, how can i add the 2.12 to that list?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonny68:
Maybe try getting HSPL3 on your phone first then retry.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arthuredridge:
how does that work? You run hspl from your pc right, and then it flashes the radio to your phone. So how i am supposed to get HSPL on my phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rigdzin:
Have a look here. Hope this helps..

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
Install HSPL

Then Use Custom RUU to flash the radio.

You can't add the 2.12 to the HSPL software, you need HSPL to unlock the phone for flashing roms (including radios).

To different things.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dralex88:
Haven't even buy HD2 yet (actually waiting for WM7) but plan to do so by next week after knowing it is possible to dualboot it... I would like to ask whether it is a must to get MicroSD class 4/6 as in some comments stated? Will there be any difference in term of performance?

After doing some research, I suppose phone will not be able to utilise even more than 2MB/s. Only when u copy something from computer through USB sync it is faster? :confused:

Thanks in advance! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] princenez:
By the way Android works like a charm with the configuration I have other than battery life, but I am never happy with battery life. It is actually all I run, haven't run WM in a week or so. If anyone knows a way to extend battery life it would be great. Thanks to all developers.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
definitely dude. that energy rom with the froyostone w/sense works like a charm. i didnt have too many issues with battery life, just download advanced task killer from marketplace and have it shut down all apps running everytime you turn off ur screen. thats what i do
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] velcrobandits:
sorry ive been sort of dodgy with the help i always look at this thread tired and frustrated. usually mounting/root problems are the path things like rel= or not putting the full Android folder onto the sd card. Anyway, glad to hear it works. What did you do differently?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
this is kind of the "htc android for dummies" kind of thread. all you have to do is follow the steps on page one. i didnt know much about how to do it either when i started but when the programs and stuff are in front of you, and you have ur hd2 in front of you you'll see what they're talking about. it all seems like techy talk but when you start doing it, you'll see everything they're talking about right there. step by step. dont worry just take the plunge. worst thing that could happen is you have to delete the android off the sd card and start over.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] velcrobandits:
it depends on your needs. i always set it to ondemand with a something like 600mhz top max clockspeed. if you run demanding apps however, you might experience some slowdown. changing it to ondemand with 245 min and 800 max, with a profile for 245 max/min when your phone sleeps is generally good practice. as a sidenote, the developers website says that the phone uses some resources to calculate the current demand so if you to be seriously anal about underclocking, you can set your phone to performance and set the mhz to 300 or something and basically you make sure your phone is always running at a super low speed.

ok so, i hate to support one build over another and dont take this is as fanboyism but here goes...I used to go between every new darkstone and mattc build, starting out with darkstone and staying loyal for some time. I was hesitant to try shubcraft esp cuz of cm6 but now that I've switched, its the first build I've tried with zero screen freezes, and this is coming from some one who had screen freezes on every build with which other people reported no freezes. as for battery life, i set it to on demand from 600-1113 oc'd and its on all day, with occasional BT, browsing, etc.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
so shubcraft is that good huh? hm i'll have to try it. thats kind of how i felt about the froyostone build. it was very reliable i found. havent had any freezes really. no sleep of deaths, always opened back up. i was so happy when i got it. do you mind throwing up a link for that shubcraft download? i'll have to check it out. and how is the gps and batt life on that build?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lovethexi23:
it wont let me run the clrcad.

am i supposed to be running this on the phone?? when i go to it on the SD card, it doesnt do anything.

any clue?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
yes you are not going to see anything happen when you click it it wont do anything. it doesnt look like it atleast. but it is doing something in the background. just run always click it before running haret.exe. thats all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lovethexi23:
i did that...and it worked.

When i read that it wouldnt do anything.....i figured it would AT LEAST say it completed or "running" or something.

So if i turn the phone off, i have to do this everytime??

Hopefully they find a way to have that run automatically (why dont they??, seems like that would be something really easy to do)

One Question, tried Android Shubcraft 1.5 with 2.07 Radio and starts and evertything was ok, but in Standby there was a drain about 50% in 6 hours. Is it recommenend to change Radio or are setting wrong? SetCPU was not installed.

i just kept trying and formatting the SD card and finally it worked.

So far I like what I see but it’s nowhere near as nice as WINMO, I’m sure I can customize it but I’m still getting used to it, it does take a lot of getting used to, actually I’ve a few problems id be grateful if someone can be of assistance.

How do I remove shortcuts I’ve put on the main screen, I’ve gone into settings and had a look but unless I’m missing something I cant see anything to remove these settings ( I’m sure it can obviously be done)

Is there something similar to cookies home tab (and editor) for Android, also BSB Tweaks, MP3 Trimmer,etc, if I could customize it the way I have WINMO id be delighted.

One thing I’m pissed off about is that the sync appeared to sync across to my phone book, every the email address and or tel number single person I ever sent an email to, people going back years, is there an easy way to delete all these?

It looks as if you can only have limited amounts of shortcuts on the mains screen, why is that?

Web browsing is far better and faster, what browser is it that Android use?

Sorry so many questions,etc but this is the thread for it as opposed to opening a new thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ryanlbowen:
noob question, but here we go. i tried searching but couldn't find a similar problem.

how should i go about locking the screen? when i press the red end call/power button, it seems to either crash or shut the phone off immediately. is this normal?

Hi, I have mangaged to get the Energy 21914 Rom installed. Thank you to the person who pointed out my prior attempts were done with the wrong Rom! I am not sure how I did that. This new 21914 rom is great!

I believe I asked this before but I was not able to find a response. Your step by step instructions on page 82 imply removing the SD card to reformat. The only way that I have been able to reformat is by using the app that came with the phone while the SD card is inside. Is this way good enough for reformatting or if I need to remove the SD card then how do I reformat the card outside the phone? Step by step please if possible.

Thanks, I think this is the home stretch for me!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] velcrobandits:
Before you flash a new radio, why not try setcpu...Thats like standard practice 'round these parts.

You might have an external SD card reader. There might be programs that could format it from your PC while its in your phone. I know people recommend to format outside of the phone, I've never had an issue formatting with the phone's app. What do I consider an issue? Dunno. My Android builds perform very well, esp my latest. High quadrant scores etc.

Dude, dude..dude. Android is far superior, and thats not the principled asshole inside of me, its way practical. So there are definitely Android guides out there right? Just google some. But anyway, since I'm killing time:

Ok so icons, just press down and hold, then drag to trash can.

As for cookie's home tab, **** cookie's home tab. Are we allowed to curse? Android has a ton of homescreen replacements/launchers. Some are paid, others not. ADW Launcher, Panda Home, Launcher Pro (personal favorite), some other sht. BSB tweaks analogue is irrelevant cuz every homescreen replacement is gunna have its own settings thing. There is way more customization that is too wide in scope for me to want to type out right now.

Ok so contacts. So whats going on is that youre syncing with gmail right. So yeah, all of your contacts are gunna sync up and down. There are a lot of advantages to this, but w/e. Heres how you deal with your prob

1. groups: there are dif groups in gmail contacts, group your favorite people into one group and display only that group

2. display options: when you're in contacts, hit the menu button (our windows button) and hit view/display. You have options to filter according to phone numbers only, different groups, people on FB, twitter. so go nuts man
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] velcrobandits:
SOD. Screen of Death or w/e (someone is gunna yell and correct me.) Search for solutions on this thread. Could be build specific. Most new builds shouldn't have that prob. Occasionally you need to wait for it to wake up and not press the button again.

I don't have an external card reader but my Samsung netbook has some type of SD card reader on the front side although the slot appears to be much bigger than the small Sd card that comes with the phone. Do I need an adapter or is there a way to insert the card into the computer slot directly? Also, do you have a step by step for getting the Android Froyo on the phone. I am not sure what installing to the root of the SD card means. What the exact steps. I have already downloaded Froyo onto to my computer. I am just waiting to reformat my SD card and then install.

Froyostone by darkstone on HTC HD2..Question??

All,

I'm currently running Froyostone on my HTC HD2. I have a couple of questions or issues that I need help on as I'm family new to the Android market.

My specs:

Hardspl -from 2.10 to 2.08

Rom - Energy Rom w/Cookies Home Tab

Radio - 2.10.50.26

Froyostone by Darkstone

First off....

The language is showing English - United Kingdom....is this a big problem to change to US?

For some reason today my lights on the bottom on the phone are constantly on. Is there a way to turn off.

My lock screen (slider) is not in an "arch" but more of a straight bar going across. I have noticed the "arch" slider when a call is coming in....any suggestions.

Phone seems to lag just a bit...when waking out of sleep...any suggestions...

How can I get my camera to produce 5mp instead of 3mp.

So much, I know. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'm so amazed at how much I have learned since being on this site. I'm in my 40's and my kids call me "Techno MOM". I owe it all to the wonderful people on this site.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
oh sorry i didnt realize someone already answered your previous question. yes you need an adapter from microSD to standard SD. it looks like this

ht tp://www.toshiba-memory.c om/img/micro_sd_adapter3_large.jpg (delete spaces)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
haha i second that. since being on this site i've learned alot more than i did a few months ago haha.

ok so first of all, i noticed the slider bar is invisible, dont know if that was on purpose or not. i figured it was part of the build?

to get the lights to turn off on the bottom i noticed that if you boot up winmo and before it goes to sleep or anything you just go and boot android from there, it will boot with the lights off and they stay off. a little twitch i found when playing around with it haha.

and as for the language thing, just pick that, thats what i picked, works fine, doesnt really matter. once you're service is connected via the sim card, it narrows in on your area anyways (time zone, weather, etc.) and if it doesnt you can go into settings and change it to eastern time or western time (depending on where you are ofcoarse)

and for the lagging out of sleep, i noticed it will do that once in a while, but when it does, you kinda just click it again or touch the screen and it pops up

hope all this helped

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LNelson67:
Yes. That's the one I have but for some reasons the bar is straight across on the lock screen. I received a call yesterday and the bar appeared until I answered, after that its back to the same.

Love the ROM, but need some good apps to download to reserve the battery.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
yea im pretty sure its just built like that. when the screen is locked you can see the outline of the bar but its like see-thru kind of. i know what you're talking about, i think it was just made to look like that, i think it looks pretty cool. i like that more than the build that has the ugly grey bar across the bottom. blech

OK I seemed to have Reformatted my SD card to 32 although I don't know if it is fat 32 or not. I have downloaded the Froyo version of Android on my computer. I have unzipped it. I have my phone synchronized with my computer but I can't seem to send the file to the phone. Am I supposed to put the SD card into the SD slot on my computer to move the file to the SD card or can I just send it via USB somehow? Or could I download it directly from the website to the SD card on my phone using the intenet with Opera?

Thanks,
