how do I install on htc diamond 500

I'm kind of lost on this.

I downloaded the xandroid2.2 which was a 7z file. Then I attracted that file and it had one file inside called XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.3.9.10.RC.2.2.system which is a ext2 file..........

Maybe I downloaded the wrong xandroid2.2 file?

I have htcdiamond 500 cdma.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phoenixcurse:
For those getting the error: "insmod: can't insert 'psfreedom.ko': invalid module format".

Make sure you copy across the psfreedom files (the .ko, .tar, and the zImage) into the andboot folder you created for Android.

And to the above poster, I couldn't get that file to work either (I'm not sure exactly what it is, someone else can explain it). Instead, just use the older version - 29.07.10RC2.1
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
link? I downloaded android 2.1(it was provided in the 3rd page by another guy that's having the same problem as I am) he said take the startup.txt file and put it in the root.

But I kind of just need a simple walkthrough because xandroid2.2 only had 1 file inside after extracting. Like there suppose to be a file called harret., zimage, etc right???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
ok looks like I got android 2.1 installing. now how do I go from 2.1 to 2.2 please.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phoenixcurse:
Just run it with 2.1.

**EDIT**

Because I (and it appears others) have found it difficult to get this working, and currently all the information is scattered about, I've attempted to compile it all into one step-by-step tutorial. None of this information is my own, I've simply compiled it. See the attached TXT file for the tutorial.

Please correct any of this if it's incorrect, as I'm no expert. I also hold no responsibility for anything going wrong, you perform this at your own risk.

*Tutorial fixed*
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
ok I'll give this a try. give me like 5 or 10 mins to respond
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
wait a minute. when I said I just installed 2.1 I meant 2.2. That file link you gave me the first time. at the end it says rc2.1 so I was thinking it was android2.1. So I guess it's really android 2.2 So I'm going to install that again and see what I have. Thanks

It finally boot.........

after trying about 2x times

i think i miss the step power on immediate press eject button

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
I'm having problems at the:

su

cd/sdcard

insmod psfreedom.ok part(might spelled that part wrong)

Like do you have everything in a andboot folder or everything is in root??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] foohoa:
i put everything in root, ur android can run??

after the cd sdcard, u can try LS

see the psfreedom.ko in the LS or not
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
what's ls?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hsdneo:
Is there any way to boot the android without activesync usb connection.

i have test it without a pc but then psfreedom isn't working. It is because of this issue or must psfreedom work without booting haret at activesync connection?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rasputin1865:
hehe it was working on mine i just simply thought that the backup manager worked as a luncher so when it took my back to the main menu i thought there was a problem

i have one question do you need to have the phone in every time you startup your ps3 or is it only when you want to install programs like backup manager and ftp
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hsdneo:
you need the device every time you want to install or use homebrew like the backup manager.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
Can someone help me. I'm stuck on one part.

I'm following the guide the guy made in this thread(page 12 I think) about put everything in a folder called "andboot" but when I do that and get to the su/ cd_sdcard/ insmod_freedom.ko part it says it can't find it. Just run everything at the root??? bad freedom.ko file?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hsdneo:
Have you copied the psfreedom.ko file in the root of your sd card?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] foohoa:
LS mean list file form the directory

when LS u must found the psfreedom.ko file

if u found it then run

INSMOD psfreedom.ko

So should i have 2 "modules" files or i need to replace default one with "-dirty" one from psfreedom_bdvd? If so, what name the file should have in the end?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hsdneo:
Can any1 help me with this question?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
I heard it's "crucial" to it making it work. So yes you would need to have active sync as they say. What I did was enable active synce and connect it to my computer's active sync and when Xandroid booted up I disconnected it from my computer.

Also I finally got it to work. The problem was when I had everything in "andboot" folder. either that or it just randomly worked. I also switched the psfreedom.ko file like 2 times, I used the version that was in this thread(denialfreedom file)

I wish there was a way to see how many gb is on the disc before backing it up to your ps3. Right now I'm saving Super Street fighter for just to see if it will really work. Looks like it's going to take 3 or 4 hours. wow
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
I'll try to help, I'm in a good mood since I got mines to work. But i have a HTC DIAMOND 500...... Just tell me what phone you have and I'll try to help.

You will only need one psfreedom.ko file in the main root which is in the same place as the haret file and zimage file,etc
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hsdneo:
Thanks for the answer. I thought you say something like this. Then its easier for me to take mit htc desire and install a rom so i have to make a little reboot with this device and after this i can boot my ps3.

But the diamond is so slow that you need a very _long_ time before you can start to play :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
:-) oh you have the HTC Desire. Hmmm I'm sure things may be set up different for you. There's instruction out for each device. In the end I think they are all pretty much ran the same the only difference may be the part where you run the emulator after install Xandroid.....

Well if you need any help I'll try to help even though I don't have that device
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hsdneo:
No no thanks. My HTC Desire runs without any problems and very fast. Its the only problem, that i have to reinstall the psfreedom. To do this is have to reboot. If i doesnt uninstall the psfreedom from the phone i can't use my wifi.

Its very difficult at the moment. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
aww that suks to own a HTC Desire. Strange because my old HTC touch diamond 500 allows me to use wifi when im under windows mobile 6.1 or when I'm in xandroid 2.2( enable wifi in the android options)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hsdneo:
Yes this is really a problem. And normally i am using a rom with sense and this "hack" is only usable with a rom without sense, so its not usefull for me.

At the Moment i use Nandroid to backup and restore the roms separately.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomascivinod:
Real Problems

Hi guys,

I am really having problems,

1st off on the 2nd boot of xdandroid I cant get it a boot and it says it has failed to find a root fs. I am on XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.29.7.10.RC2.1 and I get this problem every time I reboot android after changing some of the files for PSFreedom.

When XDANDROID Works I get the insmod : can't insert 'psfreedom.ko': invalid module format error.

I have got an andboot folder with the zimage, the modules tar.gz and the psfreedom.ko file,

WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG????????????

:(:(:(:(

I have made sure that there is a rootfs.img on the root of internal storage and I have also read all the posts in this thread and I still can't understand what I have got wrong

I am on a gen-y rom and i am a diam100
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
Yea that doesn't sound too good. I don't have to do all that. I mainly just got a build that had the haret file in and ran it from my phone and that's it. If I turn off my phone it goes back to windows mobile 6.1, if I ever want to go to android 2.2 just run that small program. sweet!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
diam100.. well I had diam500. They also told me to put everything in "andboot" folder but when I ran the emulator it couldn't find the file.............So I put EVERYTHING in the root of my memory card. so I guess try that. things might be different for you since you're diam100 but it's worth a try.......I also switched psfreedom.ko files (I tried the deniedfreedom file which was uploaded here 2 or 3 pages back)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomascivinod:
Ok, ill give it a go, but i am stil confused, how do you replace the tar.gz, do you delete the old one or do you keep both in the root?

I am using the denial freedom from this thread, i really want the backup manager although, maybe it is too hard!

Is it possible for everyone to post their configuration?

Type of Device: Diam100

Build of Android: XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.29.7.10.RC2.1

Used denial freedom: Yes

andboot folder with files meant to be replaced, placed in it: Yes/No (Neither Work)

Working: No
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
that taz file you have to overwrite them... like when you downloaded Psfreedom it had 3 files in there(tar,zimage and psfreedom.ko) you put all the of those in the root (since you have diam100 you may have to put it in a folder but I didnt). Then you have to COPY those 2 startup files from your phone model folder(diam100 would be yours) and place them in the root or the andboot folder if you doing it that way.....and I think after that you run the haret file while you connected to your computer with active sync.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
*** run the file ON YOUR PHONE while you're connected to the computer.

If you run into a problem just tell me exactly what it is or what is it that you're confused about. It's no more than 5 steps all together I think but yeah it's pretty easy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomascivinod:
Thanks so much, will try, you are the first person to be completely clear!

Only pasted the .txt file so maybe that made the difference.

Ok, will report back once I have tried with fresh build.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
Thanks.

well since I'm diam500 my instructions said copy both startup.txt files to the root or andboot folder so i just copied both to the root. After you get that haret file to run it will all be a piece of cake to you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
You would set yours up like I did. See check this out. it shows your diam100 http://wiki.psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Raphael
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phoenixcurse:
I was mistaken in my guide, as other have pointed out. The psfreedom.ko goes in the root (internal storage). The other two files, the .tar and zImage, go in the 'andboot' folder, replacing the zImage file that was already there. I'll update my guide to reflect this.

Also see the tute by arjunking.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hsdneo:
Yes this sounds good and was my idea, too. But you always need the pc to start android and thats not so good.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
No I don'tneed the PC to run android 2.2. I don't have to have it for anything else

Not really sure but i'll check to see but if I recall I remember not connecting to the computer to run ANdroid 2.2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
I put everything in the root. I didn't use the andboot folders. Diam500. I guess it depends on which device you have but I say if it doesn't work in andboot than move all the files from that folder and put it in the root and then delete andboot folder.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomascivinod:
I never had a problem getting haret to work, the second time, android would not boot becuase of something to do with a missing rootfs.img which I checked was there afterwards anyway, booting, lets see what happens
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
ok since you can get into android2.2 than the rest is easy. If you have any problems now it will be at the part coming up where you enter su, cd /sdcard and insmod psfreedom.ko to start the emulator.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomascivinod:
ok, i got root and i tried to insmod psfreedom.ko but them it returned: "insmod: can't insert 'psfreedom.ko': invalid module format?

I got this every time i have run,

what do i do now?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hsdneo:
Hmm i can start haret without the pc. So my android boots without activesync is connect. So can i start the ps3 now? i thought you need the pc for this method.

But the pc is only needed to boot android?

Last night i tried to boot android with pc and the first boot of my ps3 works mit backup manager.

After i have done a reboot and bootet android without a pc i have done 6 starts from the ps3 without the backup manager works?

At the Moment i flash a faster Rom and test it again (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756114)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomascivinod:
I believe that activesync is needed in some way to open some usb something?

That is my educated guess
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
Everyone says you have to be connected to your computer when you run xandroid 2.2 when using it to connect to your ps3. other than that no you dont...... You also need to be in active sync. Like open up the windows mobile program and let it connect to your phone and then go to the internal memory card that's where everything should be. After it syncs with your computer just run that haret file and keep it connected until Xandroid bootup screen comes on then you can disconnect
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomascivinod:
oh, so it actually needs to sync?

what if it just makes a connection,

I am just wondering, i am having problems with it not being able to load the insmod: can't load psfreedom.ko

that thing,

any way,

thanks

Ps: Hey, do i insmod psfreedom.ko when it is connected to the ps3 or before?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
That looks like a windows mobile 6.1 rom. you need to run a android 2.2 rom.

If you never hacked your phone before than I believe it's some other steps you have to do to unlock it. Like if you are on stock rom that came with the phone than you have to unlock your phone so you can run these roms such as android 2.2 But all the things you needed are in this thread. like this build right here>>>> XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.29.7.10.RC2.1.7z
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
that's the problem i had.

2 things. either your not typing it in right(how are you typing it in??? are you using the spaces and / sign for cd /sdcard and the insmod part too?

or if you have everything in a andboot folder take it all out and put it in the root.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
* su

* cd /sdcard

* insmod psfreedom.ko

that's how you do it. notice the space before /cd and insmod
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] amschip:
folks I have diamond 100 and what I did was

downloaded full 2.2 android from connect-utb,

extracted everything to root

replaced zimage and tar file with psfreedom provided,

added modded ko file

run android

followed the command and got # at the end

simple :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] minedune:
So everything is working here (diam 100), but when i press "backup" in stealth backup manager nothing happens. Anyone know why?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hsdneo:
Yes its a Windows Mobile 6.1 Rom thats right. But with this Rom i start the XANDROID 2.2.

I can boot it without the PC and can execute the psfreedom.ko file. I'll test it later without the PC connection.

But i thought that this will not work at this way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
How do you play games you backed up. I backed up infamous and when I press X it goes back to the main menu. I tried 0 but it does nothing.

Like is there a version you have to use.

I used a htc diam500
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
oh nevermind I had to go back to the xbm and it was loaded in the disc icon lol. I thought it loaded straight from the back manager app

Hey, thanks the activesync really worked.

the first time i used the original WM 6.1 ROM that came with the phone.

Got it to work about 4 times in 60 tries.

After that i installed V1.1 Gen.Y R5.5 Ultralight WM6.1 21056 with the dialer cab installed, then i got it to work 3 in 5 tries.

So installing a faster rom with more free RAM really works.

Backing up and loading backups both work.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Chatty:
Damn, can't get it to work! I changed the init script thus the module loads directly after the kernel and I don't have to wait for slow XDandroid or stuff. And I can also follow the output from the module directly on screen.

But it still doesn't work, all I see is "wrong usb device". Tried all the cables I got.

Maybe the shifted timers are now wrong? But I have no original module I could try :-(

Hi Chefs,

Recently I've bought a new machine with Windows 7.

On previous XP I've always used a program called Dillsof.com registryDump (PPC)

It dumps the complete registry of device in .txt plus very fast.

For me this program is a must have as you can apply your settings and make a dump before and after and compair, unfortunatly on Windows 7 it gives a .NET error.

Anyone else knows a handy program like this and is compatible with Windows 7?

Thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Hi Leo,

Is Dillsoft.com...i Googled what you wrote and i only found your thread :D

Anyway,install it with previous windows compatibility mode.

Run it with Window xp SP3 compatibility mode.

I did and it works.....though, thanks for sharing this app :D
[Windows Mobile] pkoper:
Have you tried CeRegEditor?

Besides editing/searching it lets you dump the registry directly from the device.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
And this one shouldnt miss from your registry tools....Thanks to FarmerTed that said me about this tool.
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Yeah very handy tool.

Thanks for your tip, I still need to get used to W7 LoL :D

Edit; Oh and here's the tool haha I almost forgot. :D

http://dillsoft.com/index.cgi?program=RegistryDump-PPC

Nope I didn't, thanks I will try. :)

Looks good to cheers. :)
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
That's solved fast. :D

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Just to let you know it doesn't work for me with XP service pack 2 or 3 compatibility modus, still the same .NET error in W7.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Uhmm...NET error maybe means NetFramework .

I have W7 Ultimate that comes with NetFramework 3.5 , i really dunno if other W7 versions are the same.

Did you installed it with compatibility mode? I mean right click on the .msi downloaded.
