I used to hate on all the people who would tell people to search the thread but seriously, these are all basic issues that are covered at the very beginning of every relevant thread. like, if youre getting a robotic voice or a screen of death or the buttons are always lit, search this thread, search the problems thread, search your build's thread. all of these basic probs have all been encountered, theyre all at the very beginning. just quicker for you guys...

to whoever is having an sd card issue, just plug your phone into your comp, have it recognize it as a harddrive, and drag and drop the android folder. its as easy as that. you can format using the phones format utility. really no reason to be anal and like, buy an adapter. as always, since your putting the Android folder into your sd card, open up startup.txt and check if cmd "rel_path=Android" is there which directs it to the android folder, sometimes its not.

to whoever had the problem with the lights on the bottom buttons, i think most builds have control of it, but whoever said it is correct in that there used to be the issue of the lights staying at the state they were when haret launches. if thats whats happening, you need a winmo rom that doesnt turn the lights on

when you load the files. i've used miri and energia optimized for android, both are decent.

the bootloaders you find on this forum will all run both files for Android...rest assured...

for battery life, theres a thread for that too... basically just use setcpu, less widgets, less autosync, less gps no live wallpaper should be ok

the straightbar is froyostone v2...

and yeah, this forum is like crack. oh and to whoever asked about the browser...its webkit, which is what safari, chrome iphone browser and some other stuff uses. and palm's new OS is basically webkit over java...i think.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] velcrobandits:
all apps will invariably install to your sd card. the builds create a data image, which is like a snapshot of what a real harddrive would look like if android were accessing it, and use that as simulated storage on your sd card. thats why you can (sometimes) move that img from build to build as though you were moving your storage or w/e

I'm sorry if this has been asked recently, but my search skills so far have been ineffective in providing an answer:

How does a person go about updating or installing a new kernel over their existing Android build? I've been using darkstone 2.1 since release day, but I'd like to try out some of the improvements that have been made in the past couple weeks. Maybe michyprima's kernel...

Is there a mega-post somewhere buried deep in the countless thousands of senseless replies that goes over this?

New to this

Hello ppl

i am new to this whole flashing and so on .. but i think i have got the hang of how to do it but i have now tried 5 diffrent types of android roms and non of them seem to work

and now i am starting to think that i can't read :P so plz ppl can it maybe be that i acctually am doing something really wrong or am i missing something or wtf am i suposed to do :P

for me it wasn't clear if i am suposed to have a costum winmo rom before i try to flash to Android so i have my stock winmo .... is it maybe why i can't get it all to work ?

i have updated my SPL to 2.08.0000
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jpasiczn:
OK, so is it beneficial to have a "larger" data image. Ive seen some discussion regarding 512MB vs 1 GB vs 2 GB image. Any difference in performance or day to day reliability?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KUKIVARA:
I did all the steps and as i started the clrcad and haret.exe a black screen appeared. After a while the phone shuts down and when i restart it everything is the same as it was before.

What am I suposed to do?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
You probably missed something :)

What WinMO Rom are you using? What HSPL and what Radio?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KUKIVARA:
I Solved the problem, but thanks for showing interest.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
ok so you formatted the card! great! ok now,

first, no you're not going to download anything thru the internet on you phone, its all done from your computer. the hspl, the rom, and the build.

second, when you unzip the froyo build, you should save that android folder on your computer somewhere, like desktop or something.

third, you can just plug in your sd card to your computer, or you can plug in your hd2 to your computer and on the hd2 screen you will click "disk drive." either way you go, it will open up whats on the sd card. then you just take that unzipped "android" folder that you stuck on your desktop, (it will just be a regular type of document folder), and you just drag that folder right onto your sd card. just the whole folder onto the sd card. all the stuff you need to boot up android is in that folder and it has to stay in that folder when you move it to the sd card.

then, thats all you need to do and then from there you're pretty much all set! next is just booting up android from winmo! congrats! hopefully you wont have any other issues from there! let us know how it turns out!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KUKIVARA:
But, since I´m now running Android 2.2 on my phone I need :

"HTC Sync™for Android 2.1 or above"

But to download this I seem to need the licencenumber to a phone that fits the program.

So how can I get a hold of this program?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] QA5IS:
Ok so this is all completley new to me. I have recently reset my HD2 so it's pretty much as it was when i bought it. I've never had any other ROM's installed on it.

I really love the idea of having Android on my HD2 so I'm gonna give this a go but before I start I just want to make sure i've downloaded all the correct stuff and that I'm going to be doing this in the correct order because I don't want to brick my phone!

I've downloaded the following:

desirebuild_v5

Energy.Leo.21914.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass.Aug.28

HSPL3.PKG

Leo_CustomRUU

PPCPimBackup2.8

Radio_2_12_50_02_2

Is that everything I need? If so I'm just follow the step by step guide in post 1 and hope it works!

Cheers

this is the first time I have ever tryed to do anything like this to a phone. I got it all installed

and when I turn on the phone it comes up in windows and can click on launch android and it pulls it up every time I have tryed. The problem is that is says there is no battery power and then the screen goes black (but still can see the back lighting on) and it will not do anything but have to take out the battery to restart the phone and as soon as I do that it comes back on as energy on windows.

Is there a way to fix this so it works the right way and I dont have to load android all the time and to get it to see that the battery is charged up

storm8 games

I have a quick question that I can not seem to find the answer to (I did use the search function). I was attempting to play some of the storm 8 games using the froyo sense build but all it does is asks me to login and I cannot create a login without being in the game first. I was wondering if anyone could tell me why this is so and if there is some type of work around for it. Or am I the only one having this problem?

Unable to boot Android

I have the Elegancia Win Mo ROM, with the Radio 2.12.50.02_2. I have the 2.08HPSL with it.

I've copied the files into the Android directory and then started the CLRCAD, followed by the HARET app.

I get a load of text on the screen and the HTC pingu at the top the last line that comes up says something like audio_hd, just before the screen goes blank and does nothing until I soft reset the phone.

Any ideas

Thanks

I might change the build I'm using also, do I just delete all the Desire files of my memory card and copy the new ones on? I'm thinking of using one of the froyo ones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sbarta:
Success!!! I was not able to use the disk drive option. When I did and tried to drop the Android folder into the mobile divice folder nothing happened four times. So I disconnected and reconnected and used active sync instead. I was a little worried because windows warned that they may have to reconfig the files for mobile phone format but I figured they were already in that format so I went ahead anyway. I then opened my SD card on the phone, opened the android folder, clicked on CLRCAD and then haret and then the install commenced.

Once I began setting up Android I found few curious things. The closest language was English United Kingdom and when setting up the time I was prompted to type in my location but after typing in Baltimore MD, it brought me back to the same page asking me to type in my location again. I tried it again three more times but no go. However, it does not seem to have mattered as my home page says Baltimore, and the weather program is picking up the forcast correctly for my area. Also, my clock is register 24 hour stlye instead of 12 hour. Although I am pretty that I can find the settings to change this.

A couple questions for you - Is there a way to get more apps on the home page or else some other page without just going to the apps list.

Also and very important, I have been able to use the internet, make phone calls, get my gmail and download apps. My account with Tmobile is set up for Windows Mobile data. Do I need to inform Tmobile about using Android on my phone. I do anticipate using Windows mobile about 20 percent of the time for office programs. If all my data flowing through the Windows mobile data system why bother to mess with it? Or, is it all working because I am on Wifi here at home? Although my calls can't be going through Wifi could they?

Thanks all for your gracious help for this newbie!

Thanks! That app worked like a charm.

I am having one more issue though. My phone does not ring. It will only vibrate ! I checked in setting and the volume was up all the way but when I clicked on ring tones all I got was dialogue box asking yes or now. After pressing yes nothing happens. Would anyne have a suggestion . I have also had problems Qiu the cursor jumping around when typing.

Thanks,

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
nice job steve!

you know what, after further investigation, i found another build on here people kept recommending and after further investigation it is deffinitely working very very well. its the "▐ BUILD▐ 30.08.2010▐ ★shubCRAFT 1.5★CM6 Final★▐ " build. it was created just the other day, and i checked it out and its deffinitely the best yet. so in my opinion, you should just do the last step over again, just delete the android folder off the sd card, reformat it, and place this build on there. i played around with it and it is working very well. gps works and everything! haha

check here n take a look at it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740963

again no need to change anything else. just delete android folder n crap off sd card and place this new one on there, its a very good build!

ps. the data on the android build was working just fine for me. i think it depends for some people maybe but i havent had to change mine until i actually got an android made phone haha then they made me change it. its like $5 more a month. those b@$+3rds haha an unlimited data plan should just be an unlimited data plan! haha
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
get the shubcraft build! best yet in my opinion

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740963

and yes, just delete old folders n crap and put new one one. simple
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
thats because, and this is from what i've heard, i may be wrong, most of the new builds come with the most up-to-date zimage file included in the build. alot of these at page 1 are from maybe a month ago. so just try the build first, and if you run into problems, then maybe see if its a zimage related issue or not. pretty sure i read somewhere the newer builds come with the newer zimage files tho. i mean i dont see why they wouldnt, like the shubcraft build for instance that i keep mentioning, was only put up less than a week ago.

More Questions

Does your phone ring? If so, did you have to do anything to get it to work? When I click on ringtones I get a dialogue box that asks yes or no and when I select yes nothing happens. All I can get is vibrate. I have also had problems with the cursor jumping around when writing emails.

Regarding the new build. What would be the advantages of the newer build? I am quite happy with this one if I could figure out how to get the phone to ring.

Thanks again,

Steve

PS this is getting addictive!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
haha yes it is. once you get started you want all the best! haha. to be honest, the ringtone thing i dont think that build had it. i never really use ringtones tho bc im always working so i have mine on vibrate all the time anways. but as for the new build, i just got the cynagogen mod or w/e its called. just the basic one. where all the download links are, just click the far left one on the second row i think it was. just check it out. works like a charm. like i said, it was just put up on the 30th so its pretty new. i didnt check calling or texting bc my sim is in my other phone, but i did check thw wifi for web and market, and i checked gps n it worked as well as the flashlight so all seems to be pretty good. try it out man!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sbarta:
Thanks for the reply. Well I alreadly downloaded the minimal hybrid third from the left top row. I just prefer the look and wanted to use the stock Android fonts. I will let you know later this evening how it works.

I tried downloading a ring tone and trying again this time when I clicked on ringer it contained the one I downloaded in the dialogue box. I clicked on it on presto chango my phone now rings. I guess the build does not include ring tones. Also, when I tried the flashlight last night I found that you have to press the buttom three times for it to light up. Everything else seems to work. I have not tried GPS. Are you saying this does not work on the build I have now?

Cheers, S
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
there ya go man, choose what looks good for you. check it out later and let me know how it works for you.

My smal kinda question:-

I want to flash a custom rom to get android without robo voice! Currently it works but robo voice :(- My Radio version is RADIO VERSION: 2.10.50.08_2-(got ti via a gcc htc upgrade)

To flash a custom rom do i first need a custom radio? Or will my stock radio be good enough for flashin customrom- ( i have hspl3 installed :) )

Thankz in advance!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tuesdayd:
Your radio will be fine. If you're going to mostly stay in Android a good, minimal WinMo would be OzDROID - only has a few features and boots quickly. Or if you still use WinMo a good bit you can use his OzROM which is full-featured but still plays nicely with Android.

P.S. You should try a few different radios to see which works best where you spend most of your time. Many factors come in to play with regard to the "best" radio - one radio may be perfect for person A, but works horribly for person B because of locale differences.

Okay. I don't have an HTC HD2, but my cousin does, and I want to know everything before I offer to Mega-Upgrade him to Android.

2) After all is unlocked, how do I Flash the latest Radio? Is there a BootLoader that I have to Boot Into? Recovery Image? What keys do I use to Boot into these modes?

3) After the proper Radio is Flashed, how can I Flash the SPL? Same way? Different way?

4) After the HardSPL and Radio are Flashed, am I set to Flash an Android FroYo Sense ROM*?
