i was running sense. sorry forgot to mention. i swear it runs so clean. a few small things tho that were removed probably for speed. it doesnt let u put in ringtones. and you cant create a wifi hotspot. but other than that, i havent received any issues.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] williamhd2:
This is a bit of frustrate. My T-mobile HD2 can boot it fairly well. Just can't get audio work. There is little noisy robot, and that's it.

I am sure I click CLRCAD.exe before every boot. In very rare case, I can make one clear phone call, and the audio crash down on the second call.

Here are my SW versions:

Manila: 2.5.201214

ROM: 2.13.531.1

Radio: 2.10.50.26

Protocol: 15.39.50.07u

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

neeed help!

okay so i have read over everything and downloaded what i need to download to my computer before making all these changes. but im still kindof lost here and im afraid that im going to end up bricking my phone and i don't have the money to get a new one. i just love the android system and i really want it to run like the evo is there any way you could help me set it up step by step. i dont know very much about this but im a fast learner and good with computer and phones i just dont know the technical stuff and id really like some help understanding it all before i actually go through all these steps.

i have a very stupid question, i have done step 1 to step 3. but for step 4, the files that you guys have mentioned, where can i get it? those haret files..... i have no idea where can i get it? and how does the desire rom work after i downloaded it? thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
The haret files are included in the build you downloaded. It shuts windows down & boots android instead. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bc.sa@sbcglobal.net:
Yes you can easily install Android with the standard Tmobile ROM. No Android will not work correctly. It will be prone to crashes and the sound will be so bad you can't make out what the other person is saying. Use Chuckys Rom or another one then use Android. Follow the instructions in this forum to the T.

all you have to do is take the plunge. if you read it you will understand. trust me i didnt know much about flashing roms and builds and radio's and crap either but i took the plunge and it worked. they will warn you and tell you how to find out if the hspl/rom/radio/build will or wont work for your phone. and if you have the tmobile usa, just do the steps i named on page 82. it will work.

Few More Questions

"caffeinated chris" - Thanks for your step by instructions. So I will need to dowload the hspl3 and the Energy "Cookie" rom from their respective websites?

I have a spare 16 SD card. I plan to install Android on this new SD card. Is it necessary to reformat a new card?

Also, when I finish this process I will have a Window Mobile phone running Android from the Haret folder? Is that correct?

Thanks,

Steve

One more thing! If I have succeeded at installing Android on the new SD card and at some point I re-insert my old SD card with my current tweeks to WinMO will the phone return directly back to the performance I have now without doing anything else?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
1.) when you do a factory reset while android? it resets android, but it wont reset ur stuff on winmo. it'll have u go thru the whole setup process of punching in ur facebook and gmail to sync n crap.

2.) yes, i found that on this build the 3g (atleast in my area) worked fantastic. downloaded apps pretty quickly. it may vary ofcoarse by area (but u already knew that haha)

3.) im not sure of this question? meaning will web and MMS stuff work? i checked and i was able to receive a MMS message but i wasnt able to send one, then again when i tried i was at work and didnt have any service really. so thats kind of a toss up. i heard we have that issue on alot of builds. but yes, when i loaded it up, it automatically detected tmobile and i was up and going when i ran setup on android. first thing i did was check marketplace, call, and text and all worked fantastic.

hope that answered ur questions
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
hey no problem. i had so many questions myself. and alot of guys on here that developed this stuff didnt have tmobile usa leo 1024 so it was a little difficult jumping from one thread to the next trying to get an actual full step by step instruction guide, and i finally got it so i wanna spread the knowledge and make it easier for ppl like us americans haha.

but to answer your question, you could deffinitely use your spare 16gb sd card, i didnt bc the only spare i had was a 1gb and that's no good. but when i used the 16gb that came with the phone and i didnt reformat it was a little laggy. might have been the different build, idk. but then i reformatted and tried this new android build and it ran much faster. so to be safe i mean you could back it all up on your computer, like pics and stuff that you might have on that spare card. then reformat it, put android on it. run android, take a pic and/or video, then it will make that route to where it puts the pics/vids on that card (like alot of the time it'll put them under DCIM then under 100media, then etc. but if you do have pics n stuff u want to put on that card i would do it after you reformat it, after u put android on it, and after u ran setup for android on your hd2. once its running, thennnnnnnn put the stuff on it.

and lastly, windows mobile will not be running android (haret.exe). its not like windows on the computer. it's like shutting down your computer and taking out your hard drive, and putting one in that runs linux or something. its a completely different operating system on a completely different source (your SD card). so no, it shuts down windows and runs android itself.

granted every time you turn off your phone and turn it back on it will load windows, but then u just do that CLRCAD.exe and then the HaRet.exe like before and it shuts down windows and boots up android.

hope that answered all your questions

Hello.

Bit of a noob here I am afraid!!!

Is there any way of JUST HAVING ANDROID on the phone and NO windows atall??

I understand about the dual boot thingy...basically having droid run as a program, and windows running in the backgraound all the time.

thank you for not bashing me too much!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] justwonder:
- There is NO way of JUST HAVING ANDROID, for now

- Windows is not running in the background at all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
yea that was answered about 3 posts up too haha. and dont be scared. i be cautious about programs before you install but cautious is good. it means you're going to look into detail about pros and cons and ways to prevent bricking the phone

Thanks"

oh sorry forgot to answer this question. what type of tweaks are we talking about? did you put in a different rom? or do you just mean stuff with contacts, games, vids, etc?

if it is a rom, doesnt matter what SD is in, its on the phone now.

and if you mean games, vids, etc, then you can just put that on the android SD card, it isnt going to make windows run any slower. they arent really going to affect each other much. it'd be better than switching the cards out in my opinion haha. just stick it all on one sd card and see how you like it. that's what im running. and it works just fine. got pics and vids and everything on both boots
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sbarta:
I have my HD2 set up with B&B tweaks, and Cookie's Editor. I thought it would be nice to have one SD card with Windows with my current step up and experiment with Android running with Windows on another SD card. Would this enable me to switch back to a Windows only SD card operation in the event I run into difficulties with this Android build in the future?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jjones1983:
You don't even need separate SD cards to do that, it's not like Android takes over your system. It simply runs off of your SD Card. There are several dual boot programs out there or you can just launch Android from your File Explorer in your WinMo build... Android changes absolutely zero settings in WinMo, though there are some settings in WinMo you can tweak to make your Android build more stable/extend battery life, etc...

Have been running Different WM Roms and Android Roms. Have been running great until last night when the phone started to reeboot by itself. This went on for a while until it could no even boot WM (Artemis V30). The HTC boot screen just fades out to black :(. I Flashed the ROM with stock WM and got it up and running. Tried to run Android (tried many different) from SD card but only a couple of lines appears on the screen and the it also fades to black :mad:.

Now i have the latest Artemis Rom but still cannot rund android from my SD card (freshly formated)

Any ideas what my be wrong?

I opened the XDA page with the link for HSPL3 in Opera on my HD2 and clicked on the link. Do I download to my SD card or to system memory? After doing so do I then find it and click on it to unzip it?

And, should I then do the same process for the Energy "Cookie" rom?

Thanks again,

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
no and no. you have to read the directions a little more. you need to put them on your computer and plug in your phone to your computer. the rom and the hspl3 both are programs that run on your computer and install onto your phone. read the directions. read them all over on your computer, then read them on your computer while you do it. all done by your computer and your phone synced to it

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jason370:
so i did everything as instructed thus far. a few exceptions...

1) i'm trying this with the UnOff rom.

2) in my enthusiasm to get this going i made the mistake of putting everything back onto my sd card and THEN running clrad and hartret.

it seems to be working, but very slowly (been about 25 minutes thus far and i see around 35 lines of text , about 3/4 down the page. no idea how much longer this will be). and by 'workin' i mean im seeing it make the connections with all the tiny lines in what looks like the cmd prompt.

--did i blow it by replacing the contents of my sd card too quickly?

--will this take hours now?

--should i try pulling the battery and start over?

-- if i pull the battery, will i just blow the whole thing up?

thanks,

jason

update

, 90 minutes later...pulled the battery and starting over. i'd still appreciate if soemone could answer my questions though.

to be continued...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
sorry i usually leave this page open all day to help out, just went to lunch break haha. um it usually works better to keep the sd card clean when u put it in to run android for the first time bc it just makes everything run smoother imo. but it sounds like you hit haret.exe and it started doing the android boot screen and u saw all the tiny lines of white lettering on the black screen? and its stuck there? hm sounds like maybe the build something is wrong or just try reformatting card and putting nothing but android on it. if its still not working you're gonna have to possibly check a different build. or a rom and a build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
when you say switch to winmo did you mean switch to it while in android? if so, then no i havent heard of that. the only way to switch is turn off your phone and turn it back on. it does the same thing. no need for a switch. it will probably take the exact same amount of time haha bc thats what it does when you switch from winmo to android, its shutting down winmo basically and booting up android.

secondly, i have no idea haha. BUT you can connect with winmo and anything you put on your sd card will show up in android.

thirdly, yea i noticed that too last week when i put android on my phone too but someone posted up a link here i cant remember who it was, and it had access to this zimage file. no idea where it was tho. i'll have to search.

edit: and here it is. i found the link for the zimage

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jason370:
i owuldnt say it was stuck, i'd say it was incredibly slow. i reformatted the sd and put android back on and am trying again. it is still taking a while but it seems to be moving along quicker.

how long should it take?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
to be honest that black screen with the white lettering and has the penguin on the top left? should only be up for a minute or 2 really. after that it takes a little a few more min on an htc screen and then you're good. so if its been 5 or 10 min and you're still on that black screen with the white lettering, you might need to find a diff build. it could possibly be the just a slow loading build. no idea. are you usa? which rom/build are you using again? if you are tmobile usa then go back about 2 pages i posted up an entire how to guide for us, with a rom and a build that worked really well for me. it was the energy cookie rom and the froyostone build by darkstone i think. it worked very well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jason370:
argh,

i just switched to the UnOff rom and i so happy with it. i was hoping to see if android worked with it; seems not.it is so much work to have to keep setting up my phone after swapping roms, etc. maybe someone can start a new thread with a step by step on the most effieicnt way to get all your info back on your phone once you wiped everything out with a rom flash?

thanks man,

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caffeinated chris:
yea i mean you backed up all your crap on your computer first right? like pics, vids, etc? settings cant be saved. but all that extra stuff can. and i did a how to guide a few pages ago but you probably are a master at it. what android build are you trying to do, the reason i ask is bc its just some of those are just very slow.

Hello. I've looked over people's posts recommending gps solutions and I still can't get it to work. About 2-3 builds ago it was working fine, since then no builds that report working GPS have worked for me. Right now I am using shubcraft 1.5. The Zimage is from 8/23.
