[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] corradolvr:
Just getting ready to get Android on my tmo hd2. Looking for the best build with sense. I also was wondering about the radios. How do I know which one to use? It says try a few and it depends on your area. Is that referring to the location I live in? I'm near Seattle WA. Are the roms and radios at the beginning of the thread current? It's pretty difficult to search when you don't know what you need for a rom or radio. Anybody got some good suggestions for current good build, radio and rom for this Seattlite? Also is there any way to do this w/o voiding my warranty? Just want to know whether I could cover it up or keep it all separate. Is there stock roms and radios available to convert it back in an emergency warranty situation? Is this a good one? FroyoStone Series - Version 2 (02-September-2010) or is there one that is more complete?

This is probably going to get loads of "search the threads posts" but I am new to HTC. I have modded my PSP, Flashed old LG phones, Chipped my Wii etc and Xbox but the whole android and custom Roms have lost me. What i really want to know is can I use my standard rom that came with my O2 locked HYD HD2 and run Android off of my Memory card? Can anyone point me to a guide that starts frorm a standard rom and show how I progress through modding my HTC HD2?

My current firmware as per my phone is:

Rom Version: 1.43.206.4 (70315)WWE

Rom Date: 11/06/09

Radio Version: 2.04.50.07U

If anyone can recommend anything to me to customize my phone that would be great.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jahulath:
Personally I would suggest (On a euro HD2):

ROM - ChuckyDroidROM-HTCFrameworkEdition

Radio - Radio_Leo_2.14.50.04

Android - Mdeejay_eVo_Sense_v._1.4_Revolution

As for how to? Read the read me's you get with.

Good luck

Can you use your standard ROM?

Yes. Your radio, however, will need to be updated. You will need at least Radio 2.08 or higher to run android.

You can click the android guide link in my sig to get started.

You do NOT have to flash a new ROM to get a new radio, but it is recommended.

Then just pick which android you want to use.

All of them are basically the same in functionality, some have sense and some are stock android, take your pick.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Running android will NOT void your warranty. If your radio is compatible (higher than 2.08) then you should be fine. Pick any android build you want as they are all basically the same, sense or stock will be your biggest decision.

Currently using darkstone's Desire HD2 build although I've tried them ALL. I can get them ALL running first time without a problem every time. It's the reboot that pisses all over the HD2 every time and it doesn't matter which build.

Installed UBUNTO into VMWare last night and had a good look at the SDCard I'm using (I've tried 4 different ones 2 of which are 16GB class 6, 1 is a class 4 and 1 is a class 2) OMG - do NOT do this with a class 2 card!

I am unable to repartition any of the SDCards; some crap about a partition error. Partition is Win95 LBA and UBUNTU 10.1 can not delete that partition :( I'm thinking there is something amok with the SDCards I've been using. UBUNTU's fsck ran on the card in under a minute and came up empty so I tried it in the phone again and that damned fsck kicked in again on the phone and started the monster counter that never ends. This time however I did manage to see that it was *****ing about a missing rootfs on the card DESPITE it actually being there!

Yesterday I started the phone at about 6:30 AM and fsck kicked in. I let it run ALL day and gave up at about 11:00pm and it was only on 442524.230056!

BTW, that missing rootfs nonsense happens with EVERY build I've tried. I still have 3 other flavors on the 3 other cards and they all do that - bloody annoying. I so want Android on my HD2 but without reboot capability, I'm screwed. Although I'm thinking why should I reboot. I have chargers at the office, at home, in the car - everywhere I go in fact :) I'll just never reboot again and I should be good ;P

Thanks for all your help!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
WOW

Ok, sorry, but some builds REQUIRE you to reboot after the first boot to 'finalize' everything.... yeah, I know.

So, you have the same problem with every build on every card.

This, my friend, sounds like operator error.

There is NO reason why you should have the same corrupt result from all builds on different SD cards.

I need you to tell me what you are doing (In detail) starting with: Download XXX build from -wherever-

Until you get to: reboot after initial boot.

Make sure that your android build is all contained in a folder named 'android' and placed directly on the root of your SD card

SD card/Android/everything that is android

And, try new SD card that is FAT32 with NO partition. ther are programs that will fix your current cards.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Insipid:
First of all I'd like to thank everyone involved for the fantastic work here. I'm almost a complete noob at this and I took a stock HD2, followed all instructions to the letter and have a 100% functioning desire ROM working on it now. All done from winmo 6.5 to android 2.2 in an hour and a half (reckon it'd be a 20 min job next time), so thumbs up on the guide!

2 quick questions though:

Is the no flash in camera mode a known issue? I'm using the darkstone exclair desire build and it won't flash when taking photos.

Also I loved the app in winmo that let me use the led flash as a light, is this possible with android? Tried a few free apps on the marketplace but none of them worked.

Those are tiny little issues though, seriously impressed with the work that's been done on this!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Insipid:
Sorry, please ignore my questions. I persevered and tried out newer builds, the latest desire HD build works even better than the first one I tried. Plus it has a flashlight app built in so second problem is solved. Can't wait for a desire HD build with working camera now! Again, thankyou to everyone who's been contributing here on the development and tutorials to make it accessible to us noobs.

You must upgrade your radio.

The first page of this thread tells you how or the android guide link in my sig will direct to the appropriate place. Either way you must do a little research before you attempt.

It is easy, but you have to find out what to do.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Robot voice is a radio issue. Changing radio is simple. The first page will link you to the radio thread that has all the info you need.

You have HSPL3

rename the radio file you downloaded to: RUU_Signed.nbh (must be in the same folder as the Custom RUU)

Run the Custom RUU, you can download it or it is usually included with custom ROMs.

Simple.

You can read the thread here, it has the radios and all the info you need, including the two steps needed to install.

Is there any estimated time for release of a working Android ROM on the HTC HD2 WinMo ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thehumble1:
I think you're going to have to figure out a work around for your OCD issue. You are using your SD card as the main system drive, so there need to be files there. My suggestion is to put a folder named AAA or 0001 so it shows up first and then jump into that folder quickly before your clutter cleanup reflex goes off. Keep that folder clean and organized.

You can set up some redirects for downloads and such, but you are kind of asking if you can move around files on the Windows directory of a PC. They are put there for a reason.

of course I'm a noob, so maybe you can. :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thehumble1:
**noob alert** I may have no idea what I'm saying. BUT:

In order I'd try:

-1 Try searching the thread of your build and ROM to see if people have the same issue.

0- install current widget to see what loads you are getting. post the results of: screen off > 1 minute, wifi, data usage, resting, etc.

1-Find out what's using power and shut it down (Live Wallpaper, frequent weather sync, etc). It may be that your radio is using a lot of power to stay connected because it doesn't play nice with the ROM or Android Build.

2-Flash Radio (you didn't tell us which you were using)

D- Flash new ROM (if you really like Mdeejay)

IIXV - Try new Android build. (unless you have a spare SD card, then try a new android build out earlier to see if it helps a lot).

I'm guessing it's a combo of Radio and build options that are sucking power.

good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jardan:
I know, it makes sense what you are saying, I just hopped that someone else would be bothered as I am and found a workaround... the problem is that in the root of the card there are also the folders of WM6.5 and thats why the folder trick is not 100% vital solution...

anyway, thanks for your replay, I hope that someone else comes up with a solution.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
There may be a problem with your APN settings. Also, it is common for your data connection to 'drop out' at times. Check your APN settings for your operator (google or search in these threads). If those are correct, try turning airplane mode on and then off to see if data reconnects.

Should be, I used radio 2.10 etc with stock ROM and had no abnormal problems.

You do not HAVE to but it is recommended.

It depends, well NO you can't exactly 'flash' a froyo build btu you can run one. If your radio is higher than 2.08 you should be fine. However, you should do all that in case something happens down the road where it is needed. Plus, you will be able to run custom WM ROMS, which are usually better than stock.

Very nice guide!

Both common problems, no real fix. Do your best to conserve battery but it will not be great no matter what. Try a kernal with overclocking and undervolting and use SetCPU to control the CUP usage.

LOL, I wish. I hate having a cluttered SD card as well.

If you mean a flashable ROM that will replace Wm, then it should be close but not time-line yet. This is still a bit early as there are some fundamental bugs in the current builds.

That being said, these bugs are tolerable and Android is currently good enough to use a a daily build.

PHEW

Follow the guide and booted haret.exe. Didnt run CLRCAD.EXE as it was not in the folder.

It booted up fine tho it kinda stod still and I removed the batteri to try again (guide didnt say I couldn't =s and read somewhere that it may fail on first boot)

Now it needs power to start but only gets to chucky "loading please wait" and the 3 red lines then it reboots...

How ****ED I'm ?? (cant hardreset it)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
I guess you are using a chucky ROM. No experience with those so I would recommend asking your question in that forum.

Also, you should always run clrcad.exe first. This is what allows you to have any and all sound in android.

EDIT:

For answers here, we must know your:

operator

WM ROM

Radio version

Android Build

Kernal

Name of first born

social security number

and a vile of blood

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] afelafe:
As I said cld wasnt in the folder and guide didn't say anyting about downloading it.

operator: 3

WM ROM: 1,6

Radio version: 2.12

Android Build: Froyo 2.2 Android Build by Parad0XUA

Kernal: meh ?

Name of first born: having a great day

social security number: 1337

and a vile of blood: you can all you want just help me get this phone to work

edit: phone is booting chucky fine now after a break with barteri out. took a few tries tho.

Maybe I should try a new copy of the android or simply aother android build?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
'Battery'

CLRCAD should come with all android builds, I guess Parad0XUA did not include it. I believe you will need to download it first, if you want sound that is... (unless the chucky ROM does this automatically)

Since you say WM 1.6 and refer to chucky later, I am still assuming you are using Chucky ROM for WM.

One note: If you let your battery die whilst in android, you will have some problems booting WinMO (sort of an infinite reboot loop). Taking the battery out and putting it back in then letting it charge for a couple minutes usually fixes it.

There are many android builds out there, no disrespect to Parad0xUA, and I have not tried those, but I would say that Darkstone's or mattc builds are good. i also recommend mDeejays Froyo HD build. Still Beta but very good.

FYI

Kernal is the zImage file. There are many version around. Nexus, Desire, Evo, the new Desire HD, with and without sense versions, overclocking versions, etc. Your build came with one that can be interchanged with others depending on what you are looking for.

I do not recommend using barebones WM ROMS. From what I have experienced they do not alter the way android runs, and if they do it is very little. Plus, if your android screws up you can always go back to WinMo until you fix your android build.

I know that didn't really address your question; but as I said I have not used the combo you have.

Edit: You may have noticed that this thread has not been updated in a while. So the title is sort of misleading. I do not even know how old that parad0xua build is but I can bet that it has some of the older problems that have been fixed. You definitely need to upgrade you android build. That build was posted before the CLRCAD file was included in builds. ;) I think Jesus was running that build at one point...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] afelafe:
haha

Aye you are correct sir ! It's outdated so I will be looking for another build. Explains why there were no CLR file =)

Big thanks for the info tho!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thehumble1:
Yeah, I wonder what it would look like if you partitioned the SD card into 2 or more drives and ran the system on one and your junk in another. That could be a lot more tidy. Maybe look into that. It might be a long shot, but an avenue that could be a reality either now or in the future. I just don't know if a lot of the Devs are worried about it though. It helps that to be a good prog. you need to be fairly organized, you have that going for you at least.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
n00b indeed. You are NOT replacing WinMo. Android is running from your SD card. EVERYTIME you reboot, it will boot WinMo first, then Android. Soon there will be a flashable android ROM that will replace android but not yet.

:D

Your data does keep going out, just like everyone else. There are still problems with the PPP connections. One way to 'help' is to turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off to reestablish connection.

Android market works over 3G and WiFi, this topic is not discussed because it is not an issue.

What happens to settings and installed programs when upgrading

Hi all!

I am a newby to android, but not to linux.

I am thinking about trying android on my soon-to-get (already ordered) hd2. Tried it on my kaiser a few weeks ago - but it is too slow with android...

anyway. If I have android installed and settings changed, new apps installed and so on - what happens if I upgrade to a newer ROM? Is everything lost?

Are there possibilities to backup/restore to a newer version? Especially as it seems that the hardware support for the hd2 is still under heavy development this would be very helpful as upgrades are more frequent under this circumstances....

best regards and thanks in advance,

OK, I had the /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off error for over a week now. I finally had a few hours to figure this out. There were a bunch of different solutions out there and I had to end up using a combonation of 3 solutions I found. FIRST, download SDFV2000, it's a format tool, use it to format your SD card. SECOND that seemed to take care of the /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off error but then I got a failed to find rootfs on your sd card error. So to correct that I just googled it and found a rootfs zip file and unziped it straight to my SD card, leave all those files on your SD card THEN Android booted for me again... Wooosh, took awhile,, and sometimes you need to reset your phone a few times, and run that format tool a few times until you get rid of that /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off error. I though it was never going to work but it did!! If your still having these type of problems i'll check back on this thread once in a while to see if I can help.
