Hi guys

i have truble to make android working

Here Specs:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.HSPL XE 0x05 0x40

CotullaHSPL

..so, the HSPL Rom got installed successfully, i've seen the "we hacked it ;)" screen and so on.

Then i'm booting back Windows Mobile to get you some additional Data:

512 MB Flash Space

448 MB RAM / 1024 Mhz and so on

i have 7 Gig free on a clean new formated FAT32 MicroFlash Card.

Currently having Windows Mobile 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Maila 2.5.19211619.0

ROM 1.66.407.1 (76641) GER

ROM Date 1/11/10

phone is original from HTC without any marked branding.

i copied Android Folder from

"FroyoStone with HTC Sense V2 - Release Date: 02.Sep.2010"

http://gamesquare.co.uk/froyostone.htm

then i copy the Android Folder to my Card, running the two exe files on the device and the "booting Linux" bar inside windows shows.

Then the phone goes black, left top corner shows some small text with on the Last Line:

"Jumping to Kernel..."

Then the phone fades slowly to black and doesn't to anything more.

it's not off, it's just "lighting black", and after some time there appear some lines in grey on the left side of the phone, from top to down.

nothing more happens, i was running that 30min, then softreset.

Any Help on that?

Another user said:

i use Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 :cool:

i've put that file to the same folder as HSPL before updating it.. and renamed it to RUU_Signed.nbh

and leaved it there

or did i miss something? thanks yet :)

(it looks to me that HardSPL unlocks branded phones to install all ROM's, but my phone is not branded)

Anything i'm doing completely wrong? :rolleyes: thank you for your help! :p

Kind regards

WINMO vs ANDROID... The Choice

One of the major factors for me was the browsing experience. Opera (I will not even mention IE) on WINMO graphics are like Netscape back in the 90's. I debated the same thing as you have but once I switched I could never go back. WINMO would freeze and was overall a mess. And basically no applications. On the other hand, Android is amazing. Stable. And the browsers available (even the stock one) are smooth and crisp. Even the pinch and zoom is smoother than Opera (And Flash 10.1 application now available). Applications galore. I ported Hyperdroid ROM and have never regretted.

Just traded my MTG3S for the HD2. Wow! I am blown away by the hardware and how preposterously easy it was to port Android! Thanks to all the chefs!

Now, I was wondering about which FroYo builds people recommend. I was running dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-1.0 which led to some backlight issues. Now, I'm running HyperDroidV1.1 which has been good except that I'm undecided about the icons remaining so tiny and having some freeze up issues.

Also, I seem to have lost some data speed. With the Slide, I was maxing out at about 5mbps and now it's more like 2mbps. Is there a better radio I could use?

I saw this thing called leap on youtube. I was thinking about trying the darkstone 2.2 build, does this support the leap function? Not necessary but a cool feature. I'm getting a T-mobile HD2 and was wondering if there's any special "other" software that I need to install to make Android work on it? I keep seeing things about sense and radio. What are they. I have an old 1st gen Shadow right now so I've been out of the loop for awhile.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bones4:
I have recently wanted to test Bangster's and Hyperdroid, but neither will boot. I have no trouble with other builds such as Froyostone, Mattc, or Shubcraft.

I'm currently using:

Tmobile US

2.12 Radio

Chuckydroid ROM

Stock 16gb SD

Shubcraft realstock 1.5

Prior to trying Bangster's and Hyperdroid, I reflashed my Windows ROM and formatted my SD card. When they didn't boot, I tried changing the startup text as suggested, but that didn't help. It still gets stuck at the same point and says something along the lines of "Failed to mount SD, job control turned off."

I see no reason for these builds not to boot.

Edit: I remember seeing something about rootfs also.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sleef:
I moved the rootfs file to the root of the SD card after failing to boot the first time. This fixed it for me. Also, I used WinMo instead of an external program to format the SD card.

I'd try from the "beginning" (After HSPL, radio, and WinMo Rom.)

Format the SD again, place the rootfs file to the root of the SD card and try again! I'm really liking the HyperDoid 1.2 with the stock theme.

I'm LOVING Android on this phone. It looks amazing and I went from maxing my benchmark scores on the Slide at about 1030 to maxing out now at 1630 and I've hardly done anything to it!

Robot sound on stock HD2- very very short lived solution

Android runs pretty good for me on stock HD2, except the robot voice in call!!! I tired upgrading the radio, but that did not help (i realy don't want to change the stock ROM!). I found a way to make it work BUT ONLY FOR SINGLE CALL all sounds on android stop working.

I figured that since Android on HD2 requires windows mobile to initialize the hardware first for Android to run correctly, I will make a call before going into android:

I made a call while in windows, and while the call is in progress, I executed clercad and than haret to run android.

Interestingly, I was able to make a call in Android WITHOUT the robot voice.

But, only a single call. After the first call, on second attempt to make a call (and for that matter, to receive a call), all sounds on android are lost. I mean, you can't hear anything during the call (neither can the other party hear my voice) and you also can't hear any music, or any sounds on android. Everything returns to normal after reboot and a regular execution into android.

My current settings:

Using stock HD2 t-mobile (with sense disabled, and windows 6.1 Today screen activated).

OS version: 5.2.21892.5.0.89

Manila version: 2.5.20121412.2

ROM version: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE

Radio was upgraded to version 15.40.50.07U

Android HyperDroidV1.2

I am posting this in hope of someone being able to use this to get rid of the robot sound on the stock HD2. I don't want to change rom and have to deal with reinstalling all my software, setting, data, tweaks, and deal with new incompatibilities.

With all the temendous progress made in adapting Android to the HD2, I still find that Sense is much smoother in WM. I wonder ahy that is. Could be that the video driver in Android is less performant?

You can mount the SD card through WinMo while it's in the phone.

Try reading through the n00b guide for putting Android on the HD2:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732380

It can seem like a tangled mess to someone who's new to this but so long as you proceed slowly and carefully, you should be fine. The biggest thing I saw to look out for was making sure whatever new WinMo ROM you put on is for the right HD2! (Either 512 or 1024.)

Any particular questions will probably be more easily answered than trying to go over the whole process here.

I'm pretty new to phone modding and the people on the Slide part of XDA were super helpful when I was getting my feet wet. From what I've seen, the people here are just as helpful.

Good luck!

2 questions guys

1. If I unlock my phone does the unlock carry through to Android and also do I have to do any extra setup for APN if I travel out of the country for their gsm network.

2. I've heard several people say that it doesn't matter which version of Windows mobile you're running while running android since Android shuts down the windows kernel and starts the linux kernel. Is this true? I'm running chuckydroid minimal rom since that's what was recommended but one of those rare people that actually like the idea of the dual OS option on my HD2 and would like to have a decent version of windows mobile and the option to run android at my leisure. Thanks guys.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
1. Are you talking about sim unlocking or HardSPL? Both are unaffected by running Android. Im not sure about roaming settings but I dont think you need any additional setup when going abroad.

2. Windows is shut down when Android starts but to a certain extent it does affect Android. WinMo Roms with a 2.14 base will give the robot voice during calls so its best to use a Rom with a 2.13 base. I use Duttys Creme de la Creme v11 which works perfectly with Android and has a decent amount of useable apps and the latest HTC Sense. It also works with any version of HD2.

BTW that was 3 questions :p

Updating Kernel

I read till my eyes were bleeding so I didn't have to bug you experts, but I'm tired of reading and still not 100% sure I've done this correctly.

I used Droid Explorer to copy files from http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild_nexus_tree/modules-20100913_003001-htcleo.tgz to the /system/lib/modules directory. I copied every *.ko file I could find even though there were only two of them originally in the /system/lib/modules directory.

Was I supposed to copy all of them or only overwrite the two that were already in there.

It could be coincidence, but those files seem to have made it so my WiFi is more stable (keeps its connection) and when I turn off WiFi it no longer causes my phone to crash / hang. However, I have gotten one SOD lately which may be from the new files...because I've been running stable for days now. It's also interesting that my phone seems most unstable during the week when I have meeting reminders, but very stable during the weekend. My use of it is similar on all days other than the calendar reminders.

I read something about replacing the kernel and the drivers at the same time. Was I supposed to do something to the kernel? I tried overwriting the zImage in the Android folder with that same file (modules-20100913_003001-htcleo.tgz) before I had replaced the drivers but it would no longer boot. Was that the right thing to do? Do I need to replace them both at the same time?

I really appreciate any help.

Hello, i have one simple question that im sure someone here can help me with.

Im running Froyostone on my HD2 and it´s working great, on a standard 4gb sdcard.

If i want to buy a bigger sdcard, can i just remove the 4gb im using now, copy the whole contents to the new card and insert the bigger one and just start up android again without any modifications?

I have a sd adapter so i can do the copy part on my computer.

Hi

Thanks for a lot of good solutions regardin Android.

One Question:

Might be stupid, but i'll ask anyway.

Is it not possible to put Android into the phones memory, and only run Android and not Windows??

Meaning that android is the only ROM in the phone.

I guess it's not possible, since the only solution i can find, is putting the android files on memory card, but i wonder why...

Update Kernel & Modules

So before your eyes bleed i hope you read this wiki:

http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/UpdateKernel

So there are two things you need to do in order to update the kernel in your build:

First

Overwrite your zImage (has to be done from winmo, or from a card reader.. NOT from within android!!).. This IS the kernel.

Second

Update the WiFi module, bcm4329.ko

This is the ONLY .ko file you need to update and is indeed linked ( & belongs) to your new kernel version!!!

There are multiple ways to update this file (see the wiki link for more information)..

Method B from the wiki, placing the new .ko file in /Android/root/lib/modules/.. works fine for me :D..

What happens if you update other modules (.ko) files: I don't know, but it shouldn't do much harm.. But it COULD be the reason for your instability..

I suggest you try a fresh downloaded (build) and thy to update your kernel again, good luck:)!

As long as it is a new stock rom with a radio 2.08 or higher which counts out all european roms.

Android will probably still run on an older rom but you will most likely have trouble with sound on calls.

What builds have you tried?

What Radios have you tried?

The robot voice in calls is fixed by having a rom with a 2.13 base and a radio 2.10 or 2.12.

Personally I use Duttys Creme De La Creme 2.15 WWE (built on base 2.13) with the 2.12.50_2 Radio and it works perfectly.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
Technically you can have as many versions as you want on your microsd card and just change the path in the startup.txt file but I wouldnt advise it. All versions of Android store data and settings in the same folders on the root of your card so if you keep swapping between different versions you will be changing this information which could then affect the stability of the other Android Builds on your storage card when you then run them.

My advise would be to stick with 1 build at a time.

Mark.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
The simplest way would be to delete your Android folder on your Storage Card, then find a version you like in the Android Development Forum and start again fresh.

That way at least you will know that any information from the previous user will be wiped and you can set up your gmail account and access the Android Market.

You dont want much do you lol..

You have the basic windows mobile requirements to run android so you dont need to do anything there.

Look in the Android Development forum and try any of the Android builds they are all pretty much the same (I personally use Bangsters build as it works well). Download the files, copy the Android folder (and contents) to the root of your storage card, install an Android loader (several good ones available in the stickie rollup thread at the top of this forum) and run Android from the Start Menu.

Once you are in Android yo ucan get back into Windows Mobile by just rebooting the phone.

If you really need more basic information then there is a good 'guide to installing Android' in the stickie rollup thread.

Im not going to do your work for you and find the links as they are all very easy to find.

You really should try reading the FAQ's posted all over the Android Development Forum before you ask questions..

The robot voice is down to an incompatable WinMo Rom. You need a Rom with a 2.13 base and a 2.10 or 2.12 Radio and everything should sound fine.
