Help - Super Noob. Much needed advice :)

Hi,

I’m very new to ROM flashing so would very much appreciate some advice/guidance, just to make sure I’m on the right track.

My main aim is to get my HTC HD2 on the froyo 2.2 android OS. I have followed a few guides but am a little bit hesitant to go ahead as I want to make sure it’s all OK.

Here is my current default setup...

Mobile Network: 02

Flash Size: 512mb

OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Manilla Version 2.5.19211619.0

ROM Version: 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE

ROM Date: 01/11/10

Radio Version: 2.06.51.07

SPL: 1.42.0000 XE

Hope that’s useful... :)

Anyway, from my understanding I need to do the following...

-----------

1 - Download an Android Build:

Froyo 2.2 Android Build by Parad0XUA or Darkstones Froyo 2.2 interests me so I’ve downloaded that.

-----------

2 - Download HARDSPL:

Download up to date HARDSPL3 and set to "2.08.HSPL".

-----------

3 - Prepare my phone with a ROM:

ChuckyROM GTX + CHT 1.8.5 - 23128 seems to be a popular ROM. I have been on chunkys page on XDA and downloaded ChuckyROM-23128-Tabtastic.Aug.05.7z.

Is this the correct file or am I missing something here?

-----------

4 - Install Radio:

Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 - Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU.exe from SD card.

From my understanding I’m able to upgrade and downgrade until I find a radio which suits best.

-----------

5 - Format SD card.

-----------

6 - Place Android folder in root of SD card. Storage Device/Android.

-----------

7 - Run CLRCAD and then run HARET.

-----------

If anyone can think of a better way to do this or better builds, I would very much be interested in hearing your opinions.

I seriously need a dummies guide to this, I’m very new to flashing ROM's etc.

Thank you for taking time to read :)

zImage?

I did everything right according to the first posts.

Though, i am waiting for the android folder to be copied.

Question though, what do i do with that zImage file? How does it work? Do i just need to throw it on the SDcard as well?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sloeber94:
Yes, In the directory is also an zImage. And you just overwrite it.

@ mantis2k that's correct take a leap m8 you wont regret it. Good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
My suggestion is rom upgrade mark and a radio upgrade. Don't panic its easily reversible if its not for you but to be honest its the best thing you could do for you're phone even of your not interested in android. I would ask whoever the phone belongs to if you can and explain the process's and even show them the possibilities offered. If you need any more help just message me. ;)

Hi, I did all the above steps and when clicking on CLRCAD.exe or haret.exe

it says the file cannot be opened. ether it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists try reinstalling or restoring this file.

Please help

You can allready, download Automount from Marketplace (free) and the SD card of the phone will show up in Windows when you connect it via USB.

However, files you copy will only be visible within Android after a reboot :rolleyes:

Hi Calcal! I´m new here and a bit of o noob. Is there a chance that i could ask you to post the roms and builds you are using for the froyo to work (maybe post the link to the diffrent things i need).

I have the HD 2 Leo with sens.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mantis_2k:
@ Zander05

Hi Zander,

You can find the flash size of your HD2 by going into Settings > All Settings > System > Device Information > Hardware Information.

Its a very easy process to do.

Make sure you do HSPL and Radio first, then apply the ROM. Once this is complete you can then out the Andriod build on your SD card and boot it.

Download everything first. I found putting everything into a folder on my desktop then having subfolders for Radio, ROM, HSPL and Build an easy method.

Good luck.

Hi Calcal,

the problem was in the radio room... i flash this with CustomRUU.exe and now Android start :) thanks for the help you gave me ;) Byeee
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
Firstly the main question has to be are you using stock rom or have you flashed? The roms I use are energy roms any version but if your new to flashing stick to standard if not any one will do. Make sure you have a radio at least 2.10.50-I use 2.12.50,all of these are in the rom dev section,just follow instructions. Next you need your Android files-I would choose shubCRAFT 1.2 as I've found it most stable or get darkstone froyo(next best IMO) READ the read txt properly as it explains a lot of important info and read the 1st post of android you choose as info on how to run is also there.message me if you need a step by step & ill do my best to help point you in the right direction.

I've ran every single build of android except 1 since they've come out. You just need to take a bit of time to read thoroughly first.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] naps1saps:
All people who bought the HD2 in the US for the discounted upgrade price had to get the full data package which supports any phone OS.

Those who didn't might still have the grandfathered cell data plan which isn't supposed to work on the HD2 anyway.

Hi, I tried it and it worked pretty damn good!

But, when I shutdown Android (and the so the phone) and I reboot my phone into Windows Mobiel 6.5.x that works still perfect. When I try to boot Android for the second time, it says while booting: Failed to find rootfs on SD Card. You need to unzip a rootfs zip file to the root of your SD card.

Is that the zipfile that is included in the root?

this is what i always Do

i go to the root of my SD Card where the android bootup file is placed

delete the following files that is created automatecly from android OS:

1- .android_secure

2- android

3- LOST.DIR

these are not practical but can be used for the moment till someone who has a better idea please, do inform us..

and why this is not practical specially for the Gen.y Dual Boot software

the android wont load till you get rid of these 3 files

HTC Sync + Lotus Notes with HD2/Android?

Firstly, excellent work in getting Android onto the HD2 - it rocks :D

Secondly, I have been trying to get HTC Sync working with the Android build but the sync app on my laptop doesn't detect a mobile device - it does detect an external hard drive (which is inaccessible) but I can't sync up.

I have tried both v2 and v3 but neither detected a mobile device.

I have tried configuring the PC Connection to default to HTC Sync but I get no prompts in Android when I connect the HD2 (like I would in WM6).

Anyone know if HTC Sync works with HD2/Android?

thanks in advance

While second boot the initrd tells me:

"userdata.img and system.img not found on the sdcard!!"

/bin/sh: can´t access tty; job control turned off

# [ 52.971019] ACR=2886 FL=1256 RAAC=52

looking on the sdcard both files are there.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] grp4185:
Thanks, you take me to the point.

But i still wondering a bit, i copied the files first to ./Android/ but this doesn't work trying the first start.

Then i moved the files in the root and the system worked fine.

Now for the second start i moved all data back to ./Andoid/ and it works.

Thanks

PS: Also thanks to all supporters and programmers for the good work!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
Usually it works straight from Android but occasionally some builds boot from SD root.

Use android loader 4 by mskip and you can dual boot android/winmo and its a quicker way. Glad you got it sorted ;)

zImage?

Hi,

The link to the latest zImage doesn't work.

Are there any mirrors available?

Next to that, i don't have any ringtones in this version of Android. (FroyoStone_Sense) I know how to set it, i just don't get any options to choose.

Droid still going nice, though the battery seems to be draining quite fast and no GPS/Footprints available.

Thanks so much for the efforts guys!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anjuajax:
For now HTC Sync does not work with Android ROMs for HD2 sadly. And the moment you connect to pc, it is detected as Device Storage by default, no matter whatever is specified in the "settings - Connect to PC". You can see a removable storage under My Computers, but it will not allow to access as the Android locks the sd card while connected to PC. Since it is by default connected as Device Storage, it will never detect to Sync nor the USB Tethering working..But if you can manage without these issues, the android is far better than having winmo on your device..:rolleyes:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PrjmeTjme:
I had this happen to me when I copied over the files to enable "FULL RAM". In the "Android" folder of your SD Card should be a file called "startup". When I copied the new files over it came with a "default" file, I deleted the "startup" file and renamed the "default" file to "startup". It worked.

This only happened to me when I enabled Full Ram and copied new files over replacing the old ones. Before that everything worked fine.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
How about clicking the links on those specific radio and hspl items, and find out?

HSPL is necessary to be able to update your phone with all kinds of ROMs.

Radio is (correct me if i'm wrong?) a piece of software that handles your GSM/WIFI/Bluetooth and other kinds of signals.

To update the Radio, you need to install HSPL as the radio is updated as being a ROM update.

I tried to keep the above as simple as possible, i hope you get the point.

Got Froyo running in HD 2 with some minor issues

:D

Hi fellow experts, I love your awesome stuffs, all of your have done incredible jobs. I have some updates on the froyo rom in HD2.

Quite a few, so I hope it will help the people here

1) The installation of the froyo rom for me was quite eventful. As shown on the guide that the froyo rom needs the android files placed in the folder called android in the SD card.

It looks like 2 files need to be outside at the root of the SD card, or else it will be stuck at some point with error saying it cannot find these 2 files.

1) rootfs.img

2) system.ext2

2) The froyo package does not come with the CLRCAD.exe. Can that be an independent download? Also, when I use the jmz dual boot,

It will show me a menu to ask me to choose a script or something with the entry already filled up for me as default.txt. I just need to click run and it goes. Nice, but a little odd that it does not go instantly.:confused:

Now the final bits is that the whole android OS is quite unstable, it is flickering and pretty much looking like a frail patient waiting to die. And if you press the volume button or the hang up button on the HD 2, it goes into a blue screen of death. LOL... Wow a blue screen of death, I thought that belongs to Microsoft and you cannot wake it up anymore. Except by removing the battery.

I will be doing further testing on other android builds to see how it turns out. Meanwhile if anyone can shed some light on the missing CLRCAD.exe and the dual boot script selection issue, if that can be further improved to fully automatic.

Good job to the pros in here, hats off to you guys. :cool:

probably a n00b question but...

I've followed the instructions on the walkthrough, when it comes to booting into Andriod I get all of the code scrolling down the screen, HTC logo, even the Andriod locked phone screen but after about 5 seconds of that being displayed the screen goes blank and none of the buttons on the phone do anything.

First I thought the phone was just locked but when I press the power button to wake it up nothing happens.

I have to take the battery out and reboot it to make it do anything.

Any ideas??

Telstra HD2 on nextG w~ Android

howde all,

had a bit of trouble for a couple of days trying to get android running flawless on my Aussie (Telstra) T9193 HD2. Have it running now thanks to the hard work of the development team(s) behind this amazing work.

Thought I'd post up the steps i went through just in case someone else out there is trying to get a 850Mhz Network running nicely. I spent a good 3-4 days flashing different Radio Roms till i found one that works. And it works well, huuuge boost in battery life and network speed, better than the original Telstra WinMo Rom :D

As Below:

1 - Flash HSPL3

2 - Flash Radio Rom 2.08.50.05 -> ( [REF]The HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread )

3 - Flash the WinMo Rom to this -> ( |LEO|Android ROM| .¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.- Energy -.¸¸.·´¯ * |Aug 11| 'Froyostone' V1 ) (fantastic build by the way, auto-loads android and very very fast boot)

3 - Used FroyoStone V1 in an "android" folder on the SD card, from gamesquare . co . uk / froyostone

With FroyoStone i used the sense build.. just for a little extra eye-candy. I had no problems with either the sense or clean build though, and no speed difference.

absolutely no problems now, zip, nada. faster than WinMo by miles and easily on-par with the few Desire's I've had a play with.

Anyways, hope this helps someone out. I spent a while looking but there wasn't much for android on the NextG network or which particular Radio Rom to use for 850Mhz. Sorry no links, I'm not allowed to post links yet apparently :p

cheers!
