Well working Combination on European HD2

Hi Guys !

Just in Case, one of you is searching for a good working Setup:

The combination of:

mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.7

with Radio_2_12_50_02_2

and the latest EnergyRom (i tried the Sense2.5 and Titanium 21916 Versions)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591784

is working for 2 days now (nearly) without any issues - only thing was - after enabling and disabling WiFi i also lost the UMTS connection - the workaround is to start the flight mode and disable it again after a few seconds..then 3G is back....

I had to use the RMNET Version because i got no connection with the PPP Version on the Network of 3 Austria, but this might be Provider related.....

No, you can store everything on the SD card. But, you will want to back them up before you reformat your SD card... since that will erase everything.

After you reformat, put whatever you like on the SD card. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
It is not necessary; however, it is recommended. The updated zImage will have fixes and patches that the older ones do not have. Generally, the newer zImages are 'better' than the older ones.

There is not actually a new install, you just copy the new zImage to the SD card, overwriting your old one.

That being said, there may be some other steps to take (copying other files to your Android file system. Great guide on all of this can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719646

I would like to know what sync software I need to install on my Windows Vista PC to sync with my Android HD2. I've got the latest Hyperdroid going (and it's awesome) but whenever I connect to Vista via USB it just never installs the "HTC Android ADB" or whatever it's called.

For some reason it seemed to find and install HTC Dream drivers automatically on my Windows 7 PC but not sure how to sync anything or get it to show up in Explorer unless I select USB mass storage mode on the phone.

One other question I'd love answered - does anyone know of a good handwriting input for Chinese Traditional/Simplified for Android? The HTC version in Winmo worked great but I can't find one suitable for Android.

Thanks for the guide - it helped turn the installation into a breeze!

Thanks also to all the dedicated posters who give great suggestions and save hours of fruitless searching and frustration!

I am using Energy Cookie rom. It provides a handy icon for your WM homepage that you can

tap once to load Android. Or, you could try a dual boot program which would give you the option of either booting into Windows or Android. Either way you would need one more step after power up.

Hellow ^^

Ehm... i've got quite a lot of questions, but i think it might all be put under one big question...

I've been trying to get Android for my HD2 (like most people here), and i've come some problems...

for example; whenever i find a guide, it is linked to a guide, which is linked to a guide on how to take several steps, in which i need to read a guide...

So... i've learned a lot of things from trying to instal Android xD

Nonetheless i fail pretty hard, since it still isn't working...

therefor my question:

Could someone please help me with installing Android from the roots?

like:

first download android, unzip, keep map "Android" on desktop

second download something else, do this and that with it...

just like a step by step guide, but with everything in correct order... and just everything in it...

I didn't know how to flash roms, but i didn't read about it in this guide too... it was just 3 guides further that i found out i had to be flashing things...

So... if anyone with a little spare time can help me... i could really use some help :)

Thanks a lot already,

Goodbye ^^

Lennard

p.s. I've got the same problem as Rammo12 (from page 105)

Then download THIS

Flash a new ROM - You Probably read the guide for that (depending on what ROM you want)

Flash a new radio - You probably read the guide for that GUIDE - Might not be necessary depending on the ROM

Download your Android Build (should come with clrcad.exe and haRet.exe) - You probably read the guide for that (depending on which build you want).

Dear people

I have installed the froyou sense 2.2 on the HD2 I have. Thw wm6.5 rom i have is Miri's V19 and the radio is 2.12. The Android boots fine and fast. The problem is that when I make calls or someone call me I cannot hear anything or the other party does not hear me. The weird thing is that when I connect a bluetooth handsfree device (Samsung HM1500) I can place calls and speak and hear from the headset successfully!!!!!!!!!!!!!, but still no sound from the phone's speaker.

Sounds normal for the newer builds. Let it sit, should take about 15 min to boot up (typically). Any longer and delete your data.img and start over.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
The custom RUU (ROM Update Utility?) is the interface you will use to flash your radio and/or ROM while your phone is plugged into your pc. The file extracted from the .zip folder whould have a long name (radio and number, maybe other text also). The CustomRUU will look for a file called RUU_Signed.nbh to load, if the radio file is not named this, the CustomRUU will not find it.

CustomRUU should come with most roms (and radios?). If not, it is available in the threads.

Are you HDSPL'ed

The CustomRUU?

Did you rename the radio file to RUU_Signed.nbh ?

Is your phone plugged into the PC?

Is your battery above 50%?

Is that radio file in the same file as the CustomRUU?

Have you told windows not to allow the file in the past?

DISCLAIMER. I AM NOT REPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE WHILE YOU PERFORM ANY OF THESE STEPS. THIS GUIDE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND I DO NOT TAKE ANY OWNERSHIP OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HERIN… BLAH BLAH BLAH

THESE FIRST 3 ITEMS ARE NOT REQUIRED BUT RECOMMENDED.

TO PERFORM STEPS 2 OR 3 WILL YOU HAVE TO DO STEP 1

YOU CAN DO STEP 2 OR 3 INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER (change radio OR rom)

​

"Download

Unzip

Sync your phone with PC

Run HSPL3

Follow the instructions"​

This links above are general how-to guides on flashing ROMs and Radios and HSPL, there are	many many ROMs for you to choose from. Be careful which ROM you choose as some are not	compatible with all Leos (HD2s). It should be noted in the ROM thread which ones you can and	cannot use. A good source of ROMs is located in step 5.b

Generic Instructions common for all builds

Download android build from link provided by dev

extract files

Everything should be contained in a folder named 'Android'

Copy that folder and its contents to the root of your SD card

[ root/Android/...]

In WinMo, browse to the android folder using a file explorer

Run clrcad.exe (nothing will happen)

Run HaRet.exe

Android should start loading up now​

ADDITIONAL AND VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION

The info above will get you started. you should have a working version of Android, a WM ROM of your choice, a good radio to work with android, and the ability to switch Radios and ROMs whenever you like.

There is much more but it will depend on your Android build. I suggest reading as much as you can in the 5.a and 5.b threads along with all the infor in the thread of your Android Build.

First off, thank you so much for this excellent guide. Without it, I'm not sure I would have been able to get DROID booted up on this baby!

The problem I am having is in the reboot. To do so, I hold the right key (red phone or hang up button). A menu appears and I select either Shutdown or Reboot depending on the flavor of Android I have installed.

When the device restarts into WinMO, I run CLRCAD the HaRET as described but I ALWAYS end up in the boot screen with the FSCHK noise going endlessly. After counting up it eventually starts over again at 0 and repeats until I get tired of waiting and just reinstall it all again. Then I can get back into Android and set it all up again.

This happens regardless of the flavor of Android I am presently trying.

I know what fschk is, it's checking the micro SDHC card because it thinks the OS didn't shutdown properly. And, when I do get back into Windows after I get sick of waiting (I've let it run for almost 8 hours once) there were a TON of files in the LOST.DIR folder and many other indication of a corrupt file system.

Obviously, if I can't reboot the device without having to reinstall it all, I am not going to be able to use Android but I so want to!

I guess, what it boild down to it this: What is the PROPER procedure to reboot Android?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Some users have noted problems after the initial boot of android, i.e. not being able to boot a second time.

However, this is uncommon and, I think, build related.

I have never had a problem booting android after the initial boot. And when ever I happen to be looking in my storage card, I just delete all the fschk files as they are unnecessary.

To the point. To reboot android you will definitely have to boot from winmo. When in android. You should just be able to long press the end key as you stated and 'shutdown'. reboot winmo in the same fashion. run clrcad and haret and you should boot into android again.

There are also some bootloaders that will enable you to boot directly into android when starting your phone you can check these out here.

1st post

If all else fails, reformat your SD card to FAT32, as this has remedied many many problems users have had when booting android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cjm1231:
Wow DUDE! Now THAT is SERVICE! No wonder I love this board and the FANTASTIC People that frequent and run it!

OK - so I'm not doing anything "wrong" then, thanks! It's just ODD that the OS doesn't ever appear to shutdown properly and really frustrating that it takes FOREVER to do the FSCHK. What I have noticed, at least on my device is that the fschk's counter rolls over and appears to start over again and I end up having to wait ALL day for it to complete.

AND - it appears we have the SAME phone:

Same Stock ROM and the same radio. My SDCARD though is a class 6 16 GB sucka without the extended partition and formatted via SDFormatter.

I used windows 7 to format the first few times (FAT32 w. 4096 cluster size) and didn't see anything different in the file corruption that consistently occurs. BTW - this happens EVERY reboot. It's almost as if the the shutdown procedure in this version isn't flushing everything properly and flagging it as such.

Perhaps if I can get some time this week, I'll see about taking a peek into the source code ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Dang, what build did you say you were using?

I will say that I will always have at least on fschk on my SD card. lol, I have never let it roll over (something like 99999 fschks?) that is hella! Anyway, I can't think of why it would always happen other than bad luck (not really, must be systematic).

We did have the same stuff until last week.

I now have stock TmoUS 3.14 ROM with 2.14 radio and I use mattc w/sense 1.8. nevertheless, the information I provided was gathered whilst our hardware/software was the same.

Note: the 256mb ext2 partition was left over from when I had a G1. i used cyanogen's ROM that allowed apps2SD. I had to make the partition for which android could install apps ans save crucial phone storage. It is useful now, because if I install apps on my G1 they are permanently stored on my SD card; hence, when I try new builds on my HD2 all my apps are still there! Genius (happened accidentally though)
