Update ...Went fine ...once again

I am realy curious to why people have so many problems with the updates ...

I updated the Rom from 3.2 to 3.3 to 3.4 and now to 3.5 ....

Most of the updates went flawlessly...

and when i encounter a problem all the times the problem was me and the way i did the update.

After the last one (3.5) i had no data..but after appying the fix that is already in the package data works fine.

I installed some nice themes and change the framework with no prob, also all the app that i have tryed from the market or from apk they run just fine.

The backup/restore scripts that you provided are life savers.

Test them when i install in my second SD card the DHD 2.0 version...

I run the restore script and after that all my apps data widgets all where there for me....

Woooowww boy this is something....

FULL and i mean FULL (-apps and data and settings and widget and pages setup ) backup and restore and no app used...this is AWESOME

I am happy with my 3.5 ROM now, its working fine and its stable (no ForceClose) and smooth....

[HD2 Android SD Development] kajos:
in main things, I'm also happy with the 3.5, booting from WinMob

and over all, it's almost the build, which runs best of all dandiest by me.

But I'm also recognizing following unusual laggs:

- after downloading and installing an app(when done-report appears on the screen), the phone is for a surpassing time completely frozen

- if I wake-up the phone from standby after a longer time of no use

here will run the HD1.1 much better/smoother on my phone,

but there I have a higher current drain; also using the hastarin 8.6 dosn't fix that like in Z3.5

The current drain in 1.1 is equal Z3.5, if I turn wifi off there.

The differenze is about more than 50mA anyway.

So I hold on by the Z3.5 at present;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
There is a real problem with the updates especially with data. After applying todays updates my data cant connect. Same thing had happened yesterday until Dandy uploaded a different update file. I am 100% sure I have done everything correctly. Before applying the data fix there is no icon for data. after applying the fix the icon shows up but there is no data connection. I changed the conf.txt and tried various combinations without success. :(

Its a real problem for some of us. Thus waiting for Dandy to give us another update.... :mad:
[HD2 Android SD Development] xcen_xda:
Searched and tried for 2 days but I still can't get WiFi and mobile internet to work together.

Guess I'll be going for Darkstone's froyo sense.

Hope to see a new version released soon to address this issue, as I prefer the newer HTC Sense.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
For now I am using Cope's Gingerbread rom which is my secondary rom as I await the relevant update. Maybe its time Dandy consolidated all the updates and built us a complete rom? 4.0 here we come!!!! ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] StuMac1972:
Noob here, im running on stock rom 3.14.161.3 with radio 2.15.50.14, am i able to run this rom by extracting to sd card and only running it by pressing CLRCAD then HARET (same as earlier roms) as i dont want to instal anything onto the device itself? Cheers guys.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xcen_xda:
gingerbread is nice but I find it hard to go without the convenience of Sense lol.

And yes I agree very much with your suggestion.

Android pwnage with my HD2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
I keep the gingerbread rom in my sd for times like these when something goes wrong with my main rom and Dandys has been my rom of choice for a while now. I tried Nand builds but got bored and ran back to winmo and android sd. Winphone 7 is a no go zone for me. I cant understand when I hear rumours that Nokia wants to go winphone 7 way!!! :mad: Someone should advise them to go with android. Which is out of question after one of their executives said using android is like peeing in your pants hoping to get some warmth hehehh!!!!! :D

Back to topic - Gingerbread is very fast and smooth with our device. But without sense everything changes. Cant wait for the day Desire HD gets 2.3 upgrade with sense which of course will be ported to HD2. A boy can dream, cant he???? :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] xcen_xda:
I believe HTC Sense for Gingerbread will be in the not-too distant future.

HTC's major announcement is just right around the corner.

Data/Wifi Problems

Guys,

I don't understand all the problems some people are having with the 3.4 build (assuming it is this as it isn't that clear on a lot of the posts). As a newbie to Android, having just moved from Blackstone to HD2, I installed 3.4 as is and find it to be excellent in every way bar, possibly, battery management. Mind you, I am comparing this to what I would expect in WM as no experience with other Android builds. I've had no problems with wifi or data - in fact, the only thing I notice at all is an intermittent delay when scrolling etc but this can easily be explained by the fact that Android is accessing the SD Card. If there were a fundamental problem then everyone would experience wifi/data problems but as this is not the case then it is probably due to localised issues and not the build:D

Big decision now is whether to go the Nand route and see if this will make a significant difference in battery life as I can't see myself using WM ever again! If anyone has compared this build on Nand and SD then it would be helpful if they can post their results. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] cgigate:
slow slow SD build is too slow~!
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
3.4 is alright. We are talking about upgrade to 3.5 ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] xcen_xda:
Mind explaining step-by-step the things you have done?

I only encounter the data problem in Desire DL build, RAM Froyo Sense didn't have the problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kcharlow555:
Hey, I am currently running CMYLXGO's stock Desire HD rom which involves installing roms/kernels etc. thru CWM. I like it alot, but after seeing the video i was impressed with the quadrant speeds. I read the instructions above and it's pretty much straight forward. I currently have MAGLR 1.13, and instructions say to download MAGLR 1.11 is that a problem? Also my HD2 is (LEO1024), with SPL 2.10 and a radio of 2.15. Is that an issue. (This is my first NAND rom on my phone) But, what i am also concerned with is how to install your rom over my current one. Do I have to wipe the phone clean. I know this may be posted somewhere and i may be in the wrong thread and i apologize.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Provide a mobile data fix for SD:

Please check here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dimdimdim:
updated from 3.4 to 3.5 successfully.

using data2ext4

everything seems all right.

except:

1. missed all contacts and sms

2. all apps, mails, settings are here

3. very strange

4. system suddenly goes to negative, reversed colors (that was a case in 3.3 also, but not for 3.4 with default kernel)
[HD2 Android SD Development] robs1971:
Hey Colossus, could we have a step by step update guide fo those of us not as clued in, thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nvandenbosch:
Sorry man, but it didn't work for me. Wifi is OK, but no mobile data connection I'm afraid.

Nick
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Still no data even with this fix. Replaced the kernel, placed Update_DL root of sd and reboot. Nothing. Data icon is on even changes from 3G to H but data simply wont come through. Even toggled aeroplane mode still nothing..... :mad:

Which is the kernel included with this fix? Looks like PRj..... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jo0wtjj:
Version 3.4

Guys,

I've tried all options and i think that the 3.4 version works the best! Everything works nice and smooth, so why upgrade to 3.5 what are the advantages? Maybe i don't understand the whole thing, but that's my experience!

greetz
[HD2 Android SD Development] sandymac:
Well, my reason for adding my view was that I saw some comments regarding the fact that people were having problems with all builds. ;)

Anyway, if I do upgrade to 3.5, I'll probably go the Nand route to try to improve battery consumption.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sandymac:
I simply followed the instructions contained in post #1. ;) Didn't change kernel or anything and all worked perfectly.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
It appears that problems for some users started cropping up with teh update to 3.5. The 3.5 upgrade file has been uploaded like 5 times now. Sorry Dandy for the trouble. But fro some reason data connection appears to refuse even with teh latest update tuploaded a short while ago...

Sorry havent tried dandy's Nand rom I am not sure whether it performs any better than this sd version fo the same ..... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] sahbaz:
i applied the data fix but led notification is not working now
[HD2 Android SD Development] xcen_xda:
Funny.

I followed the instructions, and got WiFi error.

Patched the zImage from the Update_DL, wifi fixed, mobile data not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xcen_xda:
Something weird just happened.

I re-tried v3.4, disappointed to find that WiFi still has error. (I did not patch the zImage from the Update_DL)

Then, I downloaded the latest 3.5 upgrade package, extracted everything to the root of my card via a card reader.

Then I rebooted, and everything works. Wifi and data.

Wow.

NOTE: I did not apply the mobile data fix.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dimdimdim:
same does not have data before, nor after data fix applying...backup and restore back :confused:with 3.4???
[HD2 Android SD Development] badai:
wifi works. data not, even after install fix. going back to 3.4.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jo0wtjj:
Pffff,

This is so enoying! When i install version 3.4 everything works, only the wifi don't work. When i upgrade to 3.5 the wifi is working but the data doesn't work and also the LED doesn't work. I've tried everything and i installed everything over 15 times! Does someone have the solution? :confused:

thnx
[HD2 Android SD Development] badai:

Upgrate to 3.5

http://rapidshare.com/files/447229689/Update_3.5_colossusNew.rar

Mini HowTo...

I am assuming that you have a running 3.4 installation where everything works fine

1. Backup the folder Desire_DL from the SD Card (the hole folder)

2. Check the system and make sure you running 3.4 ...

Look in /Setings/ABout/Software info version must say DL DesireZ 3.4 ...

3. Extract the file that i post here and the contents of the folder Desire_DL copy them to the SD card int the folder STORAGE Card/Desire_DL.

I have included my config.txt (running from winmo 6.5 and sd card with data.img and no partitions). If you are in similar setup use it.

4. Copy the folder Update_DL to the root of SD Card (/Storage Card/Update_DL). Keep in mind that goes to the root of the SD not in the folder Desire_DL.

5. Reboot.

The fisrt time you may stuck in HTC screen ...if you wait more than 5 min ...

Then take out the battery and repeat the proccess from step 2. (Yes copy all the files/folders again).

If you are OK and booted to android please check in /Setings/ABout/Software info that you have 2 things.

a) Kernel : Must be 2.6.32.15rafpinga_1.7_oc_g39281e5 Sun Feb 6 06:23:42

b) Version Number : DL DesireZ v.3.5

If you dont have the same info there then

NO update has been made

....RESTART the procces from step2.

If you have those info correct then the update is made and now check all the Wi-fi/MobileData connections...

If you don have Mobiledata then in the Desire_dl folder is a file named fix.mobiledata.sd.7z.

Extract that and copy the the Update_DL folder to you ROOT of the SD Card and reboot ....

PLEASE report back if its working for you ...

WHEN YOU SAY "Its not working " PLEASE STATE THOSE INFO :

1. Build you start from and if all was working OK

2. Is the update went OK.?? You have the right text in the phone info ??

3. What is no working...

DONT FORGET TO REBOOT 2 TIMES BEFORE START TESTING DATA ..ITS IMPORTAND

Now you must have a full working 3.5 version of the ROM....

Hi, plz anyone else, bring a full build for one and place where something. Does not want to boot (
[HD2 Android SD Development] aftabbabar:
excellent built, I love it. Thanks for helping me install it as I was locked in reboot cycle. I had changed the folder's name to android, but not I have made the changes to the start up file. There is only one little problem. my keyboard mic or the google search mic doesn't work. How can I activate it? I would be happy with the old standard keyboard with multi-language (spanish- english).

[HD2 Android SD Development] linj:
Hello!

Sorry, but I've the same problem as above. I've been watching this cycle for 15 minutes now, and I've formatted, used a new card, scanned for sector errors too...

Is it supposed to cycle? I don't think I've seen a boot animation cycle before (and I'm scared by it, too, since I replaced my framework-res on Cedesmith's desire_hd2 and then it did a boot animation cycle deal, so that's why I jumped ship).

I just drop the three update folders into the original, and it should be fine, right?

Apologies for these many questions. (:

Cheers!
[HD2 Android SD Development] ricky06181993:
Apply the update after first boot. Should fix your problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
Thank you very much, that got me out of my boot loops !

This time round, format SD card, put files in Android folder after editing startup.txt properly

Then i replaced data.img with 1Gb from MDJ's thread.

SKIP the extra updates, and the Red eye stared at me for only 2 minutes, lock screen coming up now !

Edit: wohooo ! at first sight the animations are cool, kinda.... ;-)

Edit: after second boot i have added the extra features update, skipping some of the apps, third boot, so far so good...

Edit: then finally i try: "Reset to default" from "Access Point Names" in Mobile networks, but this is the first Android build i try that doesn not pick up the KPN apn settings automatically, duh...

Last Edit: OK, added HPSDA APN manually, that was not so hard, I suppose i need to add one for GPRS in 2G mode too, let me check my settings next time i boot my regular SDCard...

I am totally impressed with this build, so smooth, standby power now 5 mA, not sure if i want to keep the animations though, hehehe.... ;-)

Working MMS

Today I decided to make this my daily build, but I was really frustrated not being to send MMS since I use the function quite frequently. Here are the steps I took to get the MMS working.

1. Set up root folder with MMS fix found somewhere in the HD2 forum. (I can't remember where I found it since it was already downloaded onto my computer, but I will post the link when I find it.)

2. Created a clean DATA.IMG using MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6=-[FRG83D][kernel:MDJ S8.0]. Once the image was created, I rebooted to windows mobile. ***Don't complete the setup.***

3. Place created img in Desire_z folder with the same root folder used to create the Desire HD clean Image.

4. Boot to Android. Once Android is booted and Setup is completed go to the APN settings.

5. Using the default settings MMS still didn't work, so I changed the MMS server address to: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms. Tried to resend the MMS and it sent successfully.

Now the build is perfect. Except for the Droid Eye. Anybody know where I can find the Default HTC quietly brilliant boot animation? I've searched everywhere.

hello , i just install this build V0.2 and i cant change the swipe keyboard , i like it but i will like to have the non swipe too.. Im going to read thru the forum and see if i find an answer .

and I will like to have noise or voice(like transformers or something) with the droid eye , is some way to add that ?

and in another hand this build is awesome so far ....
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
Nothing is perfect, but this build really is amazing !

As I decided to skip ALL the AndroidApps included when setting this build up. Now on Wifi I am installing Google Mail, Youtube, Maps, StreetView, Earth, Sky, Googles, Translate, Facebook, Flash, Adobe reader, and the speed of installing apps from the market is just amazing ! I have seen this only on senseless builds....

I am hooked ! Gotta love the Red Eye ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] summoner:
This is the most fantastic build I have tried on the HD2 - and I've tried most of them!

1. It's fast!

2. It's stable!

3. Sense works great

4. Couldn't find any bugs (after 1 day use)!

Question - When installing apps from the market the device slows to a crawl. why is that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
It is as if the install process runs at higher priority, i would say it finishes real fast but while doing this, the statuspanel becomes totally unresponsive for a few seconds, fine with me, get it done, fast !
[HD2 Android SD Development] curiousGeorge:
Very good. I know you don't like enlarging the ROM's footprint with "apps easily downloadable from the market," but these really are essentials that almost everybody uses. :)

If you find any other must-have applications, don't hesitate to include them as well for the same reason.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DannyBiker:
I use ES explorer instead of Astro, so don't assume to much...;)

Great build !
[HD2 Android SD Development] curiousGeorge:
On second glance, you're right. I automatically assumed it was ES, since I use that too. Astro is ad-bloated nonsense that doesn't work very well with the HD2 anyway.

I don't have any kind of issue or bug in my phone with this build v3.4, ( except camcorder ), for me everything works like a charm, now I don't know if upgrade or not to v3.5... :D

Sorry if my english is bad,

First i had a Darkstone froyo build and everything works fine but i missed the sense interface.

This are my actions to install:

1: I copy Desire_DL to the root of my card, I copy the data.img file in that map and i change the config.txt in my own country

2: I copy the Update_DL with the kernel files into the root of my storage card

3: I start up my phone, set the settings and i run "fix Solutions"

4: Then i place the upgrade in the card and when i start up and i look to the software information everything is ok (v3.5)

5: Now everything works especially the data, i reboot with the data fix

Now the data icon is standing in my screen but it don't work, it says nothing but it don't work!

Thanks for your help!

Hi, I'm new on this topic.

I tried the v3.4 and everything work except data and video recorder in 720p.

Sad to say I have to use another Android ROM.
