Android update using update option in settings on HTC hd2 Leo

Installed android build into phones memory ( video coming soon )

This is the video of Android runing on HD2 from NAND

youtube.com/watch?v=jFFHrtHDDR4
[HD2 General] domineus:
what the heck are you talking about???
[HD2 General] domineus:
I mean detail you are using an htc sense build but what build are you using how are you updating and how do you know the update was successful yielding to android nand flash
[HD2 General] herby68:
HÖÖÖÖÖÖ merry christmas :-) waiting for video (fake?)
[HD2 General] ChaoticEko:
hmmmm

seems to be a sense build by the looks of it. I dont think its as easy as doing an over the air update to get it to install to NAND, although it would be halarious if it ended up being so easy. More info would be great. Im still on the side that screams "FAKE!" though.
[HD2 General] gatorlounge:
really some type of details would be great at this point. heck what windows rom are you using ill try it myself. :-)
[HD2 General] herby68:
me too :-)
[HD2 General] domineus:
agreed definitely need some specifications...
[HD2 General] deadey3:
looks bit fake, but more info would be gr8 :D
[HD2 General] macmicmac:
Be patient....
[HD2 General] dulexetina:
wait please... did u used OTA update,like flashed phone memory and installed android-or just patched HARET to do linux booting from phone storage???

I ask this cause i tracking NAND development all the time-there is no flashing yet...

please reply
[HD2 General] bracken21:
Think he has only managed to run an over the air update - probable only updates android but will not be nand - chances are the update will screw his android build and will have to format his SD card... my thoughts anyway from the pictures.
[HD2 General] ukscj:
I'll like to tell you guys but I don't know myself

I always try to update Android on my Leo when ever I put a new build on it

And this time it worked

It turns the phone off

Like when it does when flashing so I hold the volume buttos down

I'm going flash my Rom and try it again

I'll make a video of it, if it works ill post it

And no its not fake

HTC HD2 LEO
[HD2 General] domineus:
build details? what android and or winmo build are you running so I can try to do it myself
[HD2 General] gatorlounge:
My opinion and it is just opinion but what i think is he may be using a rom from a 2.1 build that is getting updated to 2.2 and it downloading it as an update for the orig phone. Will it work ???? Will it install to memory or sd card??? Heck stranger things have happen here on xda...... Why i dont think it will work is cause the download is just 25mb...... A full firware update would be much bigger I would think....
[HD2 General] noellenchris:
Even if it did work, it may flash a radio from a different device and brick the phone....I wouldn't do it....
[HD2 General] KenshinBHX:
I've tried to figure it out what is written on screen

[HD2 General] NessD:
I smell fake, but the logic behind it kinda works:

Modify a WinMo Update to contain Android and let the HD2 update. But there are to many things that have to be modified so it can be adopted to the HD2.
[HD2 General] jmerlos:
All it does is download the update and asks you if you want to install it which reboot the phone but does nothing since it just boots into windows mobile instead of the actual update.
[HD2 General] Chris X.:
yeah you're right.
[HD2 General] Dellacorte:
Let us wait we will see!

Let us wait we will see!:)
[HD2 General] sc00ter98:
I got this update message also on my phone, just now.
[HD2 General] FriedSushi87:
Which build?
[HD2 General] sc00ter98:
This one: [BUILD][02.09.2010][FroyoStone Sense - V2][Kernel: darkstone 2.6.32.9 #3] with Michy Kernel r10
[HD2 General] klopikxda:
Guys , they're just laughing !!!

It's a fuc......ng joke.

Just think :

- many rom developers is unable for now to make this kind of rom

- guy who wrote this post made only is a junior member :)

- i think that faster we will get this rom straight from HTC

rather than updating solution frow newbie :)

If someone is not scared of bricking his phone he could use my metod :) :

- take any Evo rom

- compile flasher

- replace radio rom

- compile rom with drivers from HD2

- flash

...... sorry its STUPID ... .... don't do it .... I just cannot stop when i saw first post :)
[HD2 General] Hatefly:
Well, I can't rule anything out, but gut is telling me it's nothing.

Looks like it will simply install an update to Android - which is strange in and of itself - and then reboot into WinMo. I do not think that Android even has access to touch the actual NAND flash on our HD2 yet.

If this somehow got around every common bit of knowledge i've picked up from XDA... Now that WOULD be a treat. :)

Nom Nom on unexpected goodies!
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
this update has just appeared right now on my rom , but iam afraid to do it
[HD2 General] steel69:
The people that are calling this fake are retards, just because you haven't received a message yet doesn't mean it isn't true. Why would he and others like myself lie?

I got it and I'm using froyostone v2 but didn't accept it as I wanted to check on here 1st

Update, I tried to install but as it boots into Windows it doesn't install.
[HD2 General] kuroz91:
No the update is not a fake, but saying it'll write to nand is a fake...

At best, it could modify and update android files, data.img or system.

I am just a noob user but I think, Froyo Build actualy running considers data.img or whatever file on sd card / Android folder, as phone internal memory (ROM)
[HD2 General] thatruth132:
if you dont post or react to stupidity it will die ...like this thread
[HD2 General] chrisjasper:
It will update the android build on your sd card, it may also bork certain funtionality as it will most likely replace files that have been edited to make the rom work on the HD2.

The only way that an update would install to nand memory is if HTC created one that could distribute over the air, wipe out windows, replace it with an official build of android for the HD2 and very possibly eat all the cheese in your house.

The reason it reboots into winmo afterwards is because it reboots. Like a normal Android on SD card.

Wait for Cotulla and co to come out with a nand install, or petition HTC for an official android.
[HD2 General] steel69:
Yeah I ain't sure why someone said nand when he written phone memory which could mean anything lol.

It's probably best to look on the desire board to see what changes are made as I'm sure it will be included on future hd2 android builds from chefs
[HD2 General] mattfmartin:
Yea its not going to update jack sh!$. There's nothing on internally.
[HD2 General] Noonski:
Moved Thread to General until OP can update/clarify/proof what he is on about.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
Just tried to update ,it only rebooted and nothing happened
[HD2 General] Da-Don:
got the same msg today on my desire
[HD2 General] stineco:
Maybe this is a way to install the OTA download

after downloading the ota file,

the phones reboots? yes,

when the phones reboot press and hold volume down

to get in the bootloader,

maybe this works.
[HD2 General] Moon2:
I'm sure this was because the darkstone froyo is based on the official htc desire rom, and I'm guessing the update is from official htc channels which is meant for the htc desire, and only showed up because this rom is based on it.
[HD2 General] Noonski:
Yes this update is also rearing it's head on modified Desire Rom's.

There already is a Rooted Version of it on XDA.

And if the version on HD2 was based on the Previous OTA, this one shouldn't be so hard to get ported/online for HD2 to.

But actually installing the offered OTA wouldn't be recommended.
[HD2 General] ukscj:
I'll post a video before 12:00 pm UK time

I have recorded the video but its about 850mb 720p and I don't have WiFi at home at the moment

So ill post it in the morning

I'm not going to answer any question yet because I'm learning new things myself

But the build will be available as soon as its 100%

I'll add the link of the video in this post

Till then

Good night........

[HD2 General] stineco:
Post more Screenshots

Of memory, ram, ...

radio version,smallband version,...
[HD2 General] Larsie90:
The video is useless, as to be expected, 10 minutes of watching progress bars. The only thing he would have to do to prove it is removing the memory card while he is running android.

He doesn't even show anything from the settings menu about what version he is running after the 'update'
[HD2 General] lude219:
That's not how things work around here. The proper way is to video tape it in the dark with awkward focusing and improper zooming, say that you'll show the process sometime in the distant future...because...you just HAPPPEN to stumble onto something spectacular that well-known devs have been working hard at it for months.:p

I could use the vid of the emulator running WP7 on the HD2 right about now...

[Touch2 General] Ideedeequeuedee:
Hello everybody.

I've had my HTC Touch2 for about a year. It was my first smarthphone and in the beginning i loved it. After a while, the small screen, windows mobile, and touch not really functioning without a stylus, started to annoy me.

Since a couple of weeks i have a HTC Desire, so now i want to put my Touch2 up for sale. Does anyone know a good (preferably free) utility that completely wipes (overwrites) all the data on the phone? I've tried SecuWipe but it gives me errors after about 15 seconds.
[Touch2 General] amienzero:
how about hard reset? press up and down volume button and power on.
[Touch2 General] Ideedeequeuedee:
That will 'delete' the data but not erase it. I don't want my personal data to be retreivable by 3rd party programs.
[Touch2 General] Ideedeequeuedee:
Up.

10 chars
[Touch2 General] spandeli:
whats the difference :confused:
[Touch2 General] L.J.Silver:
The difference is: When you delete data, only the Memory of the deleted Data will be set free. With third Party Soft (maybe) its possible to bring back this data.

When you erase data, it will be destroyed and the Memory will be set free....

Sorry, my English ist not so well but I hope you can understand the explanation ;)
[Touch2 General] Ideedeequeuedee:
Correct.

When you delete data, basically only the link to the data is removed, but 3rd party programs can easily retreive this.

A proper deletion tool will overwrite all the data a < x > amount of times, depending on how much you have to hide :)
[Touch2 General] aximman:
A hammer. It deleted the data on my old hard drive nicely. ;)

I'm sure I have seen a utility to wipe data on smart phones, just can't remember where. If it comes to me or I find it I'll let you know.
[Touch2 General] agoox:
Replace data ?

Why you just don't replace data? make a hard reset and after this fill in you hdd/flash with anything, and repeat this 2-3 times. it's not so complicate. and after this if you really want to know if it's OK just put a 3rd party program an check if you can find something.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragooon123:
Here's a little background, on Saturday I got a Galaxy S and it was screwed(No 3 button modes), I got another SGS and it had the same issue. Not to mention that its GPS was a bit screwed. Now I'm not being against SGS, its an awesome phone and honestly I'm a bit skeptical for switching after my 6 hour experience with the phone but I need another phone.

Now I'm thinking the next best option, HTC Desire. I need a ROMable phone with good community around it, the phone itself needs to be fast(Or with the ability to be fast), the touch needs to be good(Very important, I'm used to an iPod Touch, so I want a touch experience close to the iTouch, I mean snappy, quick and accurate). I know it has a relatively bad Multi-Touch but is it really that bad? Does it support 3-point or greater touches?

Also how is the gaming experience on it? I know it has a weaker GPU than Desire but is it absolutely bad?

Note : The comparison/experience need not be from stock ROM, it can be from any ROM as long as it is available in the wild.

EDIT : Also how is the screen if Desire when compared to SGS, iTouch 3G(iPhone 3GS)? I know its a bit smaller than SGS but would it make a difference?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Multi touch is a no, it's 2 point only I believe...

Still best phone I've had, better than iPhone 3GS IMO - not used the SGS but have heard a number of bad things about it

Best thing you can do is have a go on one, then you can make up your own mind
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragooon123:
I'd still like some opinions before I go into the store. The problem is here you actually don't get to try it before purchasing it, stores are skeptical due to the theft.

How is the touch experience in general?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I came from an HD2 and it was night and day compared to that in terms of the screens!! I'd say it's comparable to the iPhone 3GS in terms of text input but as I've not properly used an iPhone I can't say more than that. I've had no issues with the touch personally, I'd say it's a blinding phone and best I've ever used
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragooon123:
Have you tried playing games on the Desire? Is it good in terms of gaming?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Only game I've played is Angry Birds and for that it's fine - end of the day it's a phone so I use it as one (email, calls, SMS) so can't comment more than that
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Gaming is fine - if the controls are appropriate for the Desires touch screen. I've no problems with games like Nova, Skies of Glory, Dungeon Hunger, Angry Birds etc.

As to the GPU, yes it is weaker than the one in the Galaxy S, but to be honest when I do play I can't say I can really notice it. It certainly isn't a bad GPU, it's just not as fast as the PowerVR GPU in the Samsung and iPhones.

That being said, if phone gaming was only of my primary requirements, I would probably buy an iPhone anyway, though the gap is definitely narrowing! ;)

Regards,

Dave

P.S. Note that two points is still more than one, so it does have multi-touch! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragooon123:
If anyone even dares to suggest me iPhone in this thread I'll shoot them in an instance :P. Not that it is a bad phone, I've decided to not go with it.

Multi-touch aside, is the normal touch application good? Is the screen accurate and responsive? I'm talking about the problems faced with touch screens such as applying too much pressure for it to recognize a command, the screen not being responsive etc. Especially in typing.

Is their really a big difference between 3.7" and 4.0" screen? Also, is the screen on Desire good when compared to other high-end handsets(Xperia, Galaxy, iPhone)?

Also, what are the chances for it to be completely bricked? Not that I'd intentionally do something bad(I'm quite good at flashing I guess, I've flashed my dad's Herald numerous times).

Also the most important thing, how is the GPS? I plan on using MyTracks with it to record tracks for 4-6 hours. Basically my dad is documenting the locality with photos and he goes on for 4-6 hours every day taking photos and 360 degree panoramas of different places. We'd like to Geotag them but my camera doesn't support it, so we plan on tracking it with MyTracks and then patching it with Apple's Aperture.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
MyTrak as in Snooper? I work for them!! :D

General touch screen is just as good as an iPhone - it's a capacitive screen so little contact is needed to use and I've had no problems with it at all. Colours are vibrant too (but I've got an AMOLED screen, new ones tend to have the SLCD screen which is slightly less vibrant apparently)

The 3.7" screen's fine to view and a lot easier in the hand than my old HD2 (although it was a nice unit to use - shame about WM6.5)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragooon123:
My Tracks, as in Google's My Tracks. It records your GPS movement for a desired amount of time.

How is the screen's test? My biggest complain with HTC's Herald was that the screen could break very easily, is the screen on Desire strong? Can it stand scratches from objects like keys, coins or sharp objects? Is it drop-friendly?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I've a Martin Fields protector on mine and it's in its official case at all times when not in use but it is a glass screen so is still strong. I never have it in a pocket with anything else as a precaution, though
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AhmetK:
Dear folks,

I've got a major problem and I hoooooope there is a solution to it..

My tytnII froze when I tried to delete an appointment.. Therefore I had to do a hard reset and now I've lost all my contacts, sms etc..

I tried to find a software which can get the pim.vol file back but until now I didn't encounter any..

I dont have a backup, which is stupid, I know..

I've also thought of a solution.. For windows you've got recovery software like RecoverMyFiles.. Is there a way to connect your phone to your pc and make RMF see your phone as a removable disk or something similar..

Greets..

AhmetK
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romualdrichard:
I don't think it's possible since the memory is wiped.

Good bye sms and tweaks.

For PIM... Well, if you are using ActiveSync with your PC, you will be able to get back all your contacts, appointments. Otherwise, all is lost, I am afraid.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
+1

if no backup = lost

if no sync made = lost

if you have made sync, beware to check the direction of the sync ! else you will wipe out on PC too...

for future, use PPCPimBackup : www.dotfred.net

If you have an Android phone (1.6 and above) and can buy paid apps, please contact me.

Basically, I've integrated licensing in my application and because I don't have access to paid apps, i'm not sure if the licensing is working correctly or not. I will want you buy my app and test if everything works fine.

I'll refund the money you'll pay for the application via Paypal, so that you can even leave a genuine comment/rating in Market.

It's a torrent client and cost's $2.99.

Just 2-3 testers are needed and you should have an IM client so that we can talk easily.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Hello all,

First I want to say thanks to all the developers and everyone who works so hard to make great stuff!

My question is regarding GMail: I use SkyRaider 3.0 RC2 Vanilla, Launcher Pro Plus, King's #3, OC to 1.13, s-off. I decided to enable the Priority Inbox Beta in my GMail account. I receive quite a bit of emails each day, so it did it's thing by filtering out the good and bad. When I receive a couple emails from people who are people I regularly get emails from, they appear in my Priority Inbox.

My phone's GMail icon will display 2 for 2 unread messages, but when I click on it only one unread shows up. I delete it, so now the unread out is at 1, but nothing is there. I cannot get it to clear unless I go to a computer to log in and get rid of it. I confirmed that both emails are in the same inbox.

Is that normal? I was able to get it corrected by disabling the Priority Inbox, and then clearing the GMail data/cache. Back to normal. Batt pulls, cycling power, nothing would clear the unread count. I understand that this feature is in its Beta phase, and what I am seeing is normal? Any comments?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drz711:
The same thing has been happening the past few days for me. However I haven't enabled the Priority Inbox feature, and I'm on the 8/1 2.2 leak. I don't think its due to Priority Inbox, but rather a bug with the Gmail app. Just my two cents.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cincybearcatfan:
You have to go online in your browser and click on the unread email. I don't know why it's like that but that is how I have been dealing with the issue. If you open your phone's browser and log into gmail you will see the email it is reading and open it or delete it and it will zero out. Prior to rooting I had this issue as well, but could go to the "all mail" label and find what it was seeing, now even when I open it on my phone, it still shows unread sometimes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mtnbiker:
I'd like to chime in and say I too noticed this problem today. It showed I had 5 unread messages. When I look in the inbox on my phone they were all read. However going to gmail on my computer showed the unread messages. Its as if the 'read' flag isn't being updated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] skyworxx:
I'm trying to find an app which runs a server or something on the phone and is able to turn on the ringer.

I keep loosing my phone in my house and it takes me ages to find it again. Even calling myself doesn't work since sometimes the phone is in silent mode without vibration.

Is there an app on the market which remotely turns on the ringer (even the phone was in silent mode) and has a simple web interface? Lets say my phone is connected to Wifi or 3G, I type in the IP Adress of my phone in an internet explorer and click on "locate" or something

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] courtmagician:
Tasker can handle something like that. It's an amazing program, so worth the $5 (or $6 from the market), but you can download a 7 day trial from the website:

http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

You should be able to set up a task to turn on the ringer (or to play a song or tone or whatever) when a particular text string is sent to the phone. Or, presuming you have a landline, you can turn the ringer on when you call just from that line. Lots of ways to do it.
