[Touch HD General] ddewbofh:
PSFreedom's recent port to various Android devices using the msm72k chipset got me thinking. Has anyone taken a look at building it for the HD?

I currently use an X10 which unfortunately isn't supported but I have a Blackstone lying around that would be perfect. The hardware *should* be able to handle it but I have no clue how to even begin.

I can cross-compile modules for my X10 and so on but that's about it. I have no experience building a working kernel, the external module and finally making boot images for use with haret.

Anyone working on it? :)
[Touch HD General] oNNoZeLe:
for educational purposes only.. :D
[Touch HD General] ddewbofh:
Naturally. :P
[Touch HD General] ddewbofh:
So after some intense googling I've worked out a plan but I have some questions on compiling and assembling images. The plan goes like this:

Since I don't use the device as an actual phone I'm not bothered about losing things like making phone-calls or things like that. So I'll probably used a stripped down version of Donut or Eclair depending on whichever's the easiest.

Any recommendations on guides for compiling custom kernels, building external modules and preparing the kernel for use with haret?

I've set up toolchains for building Donut modules in the past and earlier I got a Blackstone toolchain set up from a guide over at www.androidonhtc.com but then I got stuck. Any help would be much appreciated, I've been at this way too long now. :)

Thanks
[Touch HD General] oNNoZeLe:
This would rock..
[Touch HD General] DejaVu1977:
I would also love to see this happen.

I maybe wrong, but currently the Android releases are setup on the Blackstone it doesnt give you access to the card (for files) or USB connection (for transfer) yet as it's still in an unstable state...?
[Touch HD General] sunish:
the battery issue is keeping me away from android.

usb connection is not there and access to card is not there from pc .

but access to card is there... using terminal emulator.

to check the usb config , i copied config.gz from /proc folder to /sdcard and copied it back while using windows..

so if the activsync type of connection is not there to put or get the files... that can still be done thru winmo... unless it is also hindering some other functionality that i'm not aware of

edit:

i'm using Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [03 Sep 2010] (V1.6)
[Touch HD General] ddewbofh:
I have atleast ADB working over USB but it requires that I boot with the cable plugged in. So USB works, but I don't know to what extent.
[Touch HD General] oNNoZeLe:
did you try droid explorer? several things work with ADB enabled..
[Touch HD General] DejaVu1977:
I have a lot of time on my hands, but no knowledge of what needs to be done in order to work out how to get this working.

Is there any system already ported that we can look at that has similar devices to the Blackstone - perhaps the HD2?

If not, if someone can advise on what needs to be worked out, I dont mind putting the time in.
[Touch HD General] oNNoZeLe:
did you check one of the other threads on "getting this to work on XDA?"
[Touch HD General] DejaVu1977:
I've been on checking XDA-Dev (as well as other sites) since the release of psgroove/psfreedom for updates.

I've been watching all the other devices getting ported too (Nexus One, Bravo, Dream, Desire, Sapphire, TI-84+ (CALCULATOR!), Dingoo), but really dont know where to start for the Blackstone - which has been dishearting as the Teensy++ boards are sold out worldwide! :(

But surely, if a calculator can do it...!!

Supposedly, the USB Device is the same as the others (MSM72K) that have already been ported. It just needs to be written into the psfreedom code I guess and run a certain way depending on the system the Blackstone would use.

I dont think Windows Mobile has 'root access' so hence the use of Android via Haret. Although it's not stable as such, I think it should be sufficient to run this (if possible through Haret?)

Some of this may seem like complete crap - but I will be the first to admit, I dont know what I'm talking about. It's just the gist I'm getting from surfing the internet over the last few days.

From what I gather, all the (hardest?) work has been accomplished (it's proven it can work with Android!) and I'm sure the Dev's that have completed it will share their findings to help other devices to work?

Also, looking through most the forums on here, Blackstone being THE most popular, I think the port would be appreciated by a lot more people.

The reason that Blackstone is the most popular IMHO is that Windows Mobile running on it is terrible. When I got mine originally from O2, the ROM was sooo slow. The great work the Chef's do on here are appreciated by thousands as they are making the phone usable again. Bring on Adroid for this phone... IT NEEDS IT!!!

If it's pointed out what needs doing. I'll happily do it - I've flashed my phone sooo many times lately, a few more wont hurt! :)
[Touch HD General] papei4ever:
It'll be Awesome!!!!
[Touch HD General] sunish:
I was under the impression that Blackstone has MSM72K (reference to which I found in a very old thread.

following is the text form config.gz which uses MSM_HSUSB

so only a ROM chef can tell us which driver is used in blackstone.

We can only request all the developers on this site to look into this and guide us.

[Touch HD General] ddewbofh:
Afaik msm72k and msm_hsusb are different drivers for the same hardware. The kernel in use for the Blackstone port is 2.6.27 and it uses msm_hsusb. Newer kernels are probably different.

Look at this site, you got to copy 3 things and you must have Xandroid 2.2

h**p://howtohackps3.com/psfreedom-for-htc-touch-pro1-2diamond-1-2-is-now-available/
[Touch HD General] sunish:
^^ will try it once i get home
[Touch HD General] sunish:
It Works !!!!

Yeah Yeah Yeah !!

good temp solution.

as u need to connect the phone to pc when android is booted.

will wait for dongle's price to fall down
[Touch HD General] Clem-le-long:
Great news !!!! Thank you for your tests !

Instructions given by "howtohackps3.com" are not very clear for me :

Instructions

* Install Xandroid 2.2

* Extract archive & copy content to your SD Card (zImage / modules)

* Run Haret with USB connection on your computer

* Disconnect USB from your PC

* Run Terminal Emulator from DevTools on Android

* Type the following command :

* command #1 : su

* command #2 : cd sdcard

* command #3 : insmod psfreedom.ko

* Follow normal PS3 procedure

* Enjoy your jailbreak’d PS3 ;)

For example there is no mention about a connection between the phone and the PS3...

Could you write a quick "wiki" for us (non-specialists) and share your comments about how it works ?? :)
[Touch HD General] d31b0y:

updated some more in wiki

based on the usage so far.

PS3 Power on and eject button ritual (It should be 2-3 beeps when eject button is pressed, else you'll have to switch off PS3 and start the ritual again)Also make sure that nothing else is plugged into another USB port.
[Touch HD General] Clem-le-long:
Thank you for the wiki, that is far better :)

But, damned, that does not work for me... The PS3 indicate something like "Unknown USB device connected" in the top right corner !!!!!!

[Touch HD General] thominho:

What I was wondering, when I open Terminal Emluator and type su there $ $ infront of that, do you people get the same?
[Touch HD General] Clem-le-long:
Oh... Try to erase the last modules of Android. He has to be replace by the one downloaded. In other words, only the modules with "dirty" in his name must stay on your card.

Let me know if you can boot.

Haret problem??

When i run haret i have problem,is the message cannot open script file /storage card/ default.txt,what can i do?
[Touch HD General] thominho:
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong
[Touch HD General] thominho:
I've got it working I think.

Although I don't have a downloaded game yet, but I see the maps you see on youtube etc.

What I've done.

1. Install Android 2.2 (3 sept)

2. close down the phone en boot in windows mobile

3. connect ActiveSync or something like that?

4. Delete from: modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49.tar.gz

5. Add from PSFreedom to your SD Card: zImage, modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49-dirty.tar.gz and psfreedom.ko

6. Open File Manager (still connected to pc)

7. Go to you SD Card and press haret. to start Android.

8.Wait till it boots, type in your pin and disconnect the USB Cable

9. Run Terminator Emulator (it's in the DevTools folder)

10. When you open it, you'll see (at least that's what I got)

export PATH=/data/location/bin:$path

$ $

Now type in:

su

cd sdcard

insmod psfreedom.ko

exit

exit

It'll end with (at least it ended up that way with me):

export PATH=/data/location/bin:$path

$ $su

# cd sdcard

# insmod psfreedom.ko

# exit

$ exit

After you've typed the second exit and press enter it'll freeze.(that's fine)

11. Connect it to your powerless PS3 (disconnect power cord at Slim, just press the off-button at the back)

12. Put the power cord back in/put the power button on.

13. Press your PS3 on then you almost immediatly press the EJECT button.

You'll see the extra folders.

(I'm not sure if I connected a USB stick with back up manager, you could try both)

I hope it helps you guys

I'll tell when I have a download game on a formatted hard disk.:)

What the ....: No that i start the ps3 again the jailbreak is gone
[Touch HD General] kenshindono:

Worked 100% for me

Noticed as well that with this mod my battery in android has been much slower going down - 59% to 50 in over 2 hours! No heat detectable on the phone either!
[Touch HD General] thominho:
I thnk I give up.

Sony played hard to get and they succeeded (at least they beat me, if that's any consolation)

If did everything the same. First I succeeded, I was happy, but I had no game to put on the hard drive so i turned of the PS3, turned it back on. Then the Backup manager didn't work or ****. And the other folders were gone too.

Now I get the Unknown USB Device crap again. Without changing the M.O when I succeeded
[Touch HD General] kost999:
I get the Unknown USB Device message when i open ps3 and in the game folder nothing!!plz help me.
[Touch HD General] thominho:
When is the phone booted? At the PINnumber screen, or after of what?

I'm getting more frustrated by the minute. Someone who could help me/us

For some reason I can only do the insmod psfreedom.ko once, then I have to reboot if I wanna try again
[Touch HD General] DejaVu1977:

How come instal packege files are empty and app_home/PS3_GAME/ ?
[Touch HD General] ASK768:
just a note though, dunno if this has been mentioned but i couldnt find it if it was.

This doesnt allow you to run backups. in order to do that, you need to use the psfreedom.ko from the raphael release. this doesnt work all the time, and sometime you get the unknown device message, but it does work (worked for me) even if you have to try it a few times.

also, there is no NEED to exit the terminal (i didnt and it still worked) nor is there a need to take out any BDs from the drive
[Touch HD General] d31b0y:
Hmm, funnily enough any time I left a disc in the drive when booting up the eject didnt work... just ejected the disc. Maybe I wasn't being quick enough. Might try it again this weekend with a disc in the drive. Taking the disc out the whole time and then having to put it back in was hella annoying.
[Touch HD General] kenshindono:
don't put a disc in the drive until you see it hacked.

the disc is needed only after the hack on BM.

When you press eject 3 bip u will listen to 3bip

No need to leave the phone plugged after the hack is done
[Touch HD General] CharkHTC:
PSFreedom doesn't support loading backup games, it only copy's them to bad.

From PSFreedom Wiki and i qoute:" Can I run backups with this ?

At the moment, no, PSFreedom uses the same payload as PSGroove, which means backups are disabled. It is possible to specify the payload you want executed (one that allows backups or one that doesn't), but it's better to wait for a proper GUI application that lets you do this with a simple click. "
[Touch HD General] nero:
PSFreedom is to start the PS3 in "jailbreak mode", i.e., you can then run unassigned code ;)

You can then run the PS3 Backup Manager (google it) to play the games from USB HDD ;)

I've used PSFreedom in my BlackStone with XDAndroid 2.2 and worked :)

I've already have played GTA IV from HDD :D

Just follow the instructions exactly ;)
