Same here.... /sigh

I have read all the posts - yes, all of them! - and I can honestly say that I'm confused. I want to try this new version, but I am also stuck on the green HTC screen. I will explain what I did, in order, to get to the green HTC screen. If someone could, in kind, tell me in step-by-step order what I should do to make it work, I would be very grateful. And it would, perhaps, help others in the same situation as well!

1) I have an NRG rom working, and employ the "boot from SD" method.

2) I did a regular (not quick) format of a 16g SD card

3) I downloaded V 3.3 and extracted it to the SD card.

4) I downloaded V 3.4 and extracted it also to the SD card, and allowed it to overwrite any files by saying "YES".

5) I saw that my SD card had two folders on it -- one was Desire_DL and the other was Update_DL.

6) I downloaed the 1g data.img file from first post, extracted it, and put it into the Desire_DL folder, which replaced the 512m data.img file.

7) I did NOT change anything in the config.txt file, ans Dandiest's post said that it could be left alone and the first boot will take care of everything (is this where I went wrong?)

8) I turned on phone, which booted into windows, as normal

9) I went to my file explorer, navigated to my SD card, and then to the Desire_DL folder. I clicked on CLRCAD, as normal, and then HaRet -- also as normal.

10) Screen with green HTC, and that is it... nothing else.

I hope its something simple? Let me say a big THANK YOU to anyone who can give me a step by step on how to be able to boot up this new version 3.4. I am using version 1.0 (still safe on a different SD card), and have never had any trouble booting new ROMs to try. Apparently I'm getting dumber... Smile

Look forward to any help! Regards,

Wingmann

first just download the 3.3 version and boot once then read this:

Okay, regarding the 3.4 beta 2 update, for me it worked just by putting the "Update_dl" folder on the SD card.

********do not over-write DESIRE_DL on the SD***********
[HD2 Android SD Development] maneken25:
Today installed DL Desire v3.3 SD type of instalation, used fix permission, installed latest patch-3.4 and overwrite Desire_dl folder and putted update folder on card(dunno if i did right this part)

Didnt use fix patch from first page.

First impression:

Good:

Amazing UI

Great Htc Services

Bt, Wifi working without problems

Installed around 60 aps withou any problem in installing or running

Not so good:

Market is sometimes very slow

Keyboard feels sometimes laggy or very slow on activating

Transition between apps or leaving apps can sometimes feels very slow or it pause for sec.

Battery seems draining fast(even with wifi, sync and geting location through wifi/gps turned off).

Question, any1 have solution maybe for speeding litlebit up or getting to works more with flaw, would maybe updating kernel to Hastarin change something?

Is it smart maybe to use Setcpu app on this build and what would values to put in setcpu?

Ty on suggestion in advanced.

Edited:

After few restarts it cant boot properly anymore, stucked on HTC logo.

Seems ill need to try with Hastarin kernel
[HD2 Android SD Development] viffer_man:
Ok 2 questions. How do I get it to see the fat partition from the OS and 2 should it be sooo laggy?
[HD2 Android SD Development] maneken25:
K... i manage boot again up. Just undo changes to desire_dl folder which made while doing upgrade to 3.4. As some ppl said it seems best not to overwite desire_dl folder just putting update folder on card was enough for me.

About laggy part now is much better, correct updating and few restarts help.

Still, found one problem: video camera on 720p quality doesnt record correctly and if i use shortcut for jumping from video camera to photo cam it shuts down app with error.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SuiSSaS:
im trying and not work :(

but no problem at sync of contacts and agenda
[HD2 Android SD Development] viffer_man:
Can anyone tell me how to expose the fat32 partition to the OS? It's the same partition the dl_desire folder was originally placed for boot.

Thanks!

Update:

I managed to solve all the known issue, like usb, button savior, etc. but, unfortunately, it cannot be done by Update package, thus, I have to upload the whole build again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mcdoc:
Great! Waiting to try.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wingmann:
Angajs,

Check out Ionbasa's reply to my post -- post number 2675 for your step by step answer. Just do what I did, then continue to do what Ionbasa added at the end... it worked for me.

Good luck,

[HD2 Android SD Development] wingmann:
I'm up and running now with 3.4 (finally) on my SD card. With so many posts and updates, it was a bit confusing but with the help here, I got it done.

May I please ask one more queston -- another ask for help? Can I please get step-by-step directions for changing kernels? Dandiest put a zipped folder of Haristan's kernel in his V3.3 release and I would like to try it. Is it hard to make the switch? Can someone please explain to me how to do it with the files/folders that Dandiest provided? Thank you so much in advance!

Take care,

Battery issue

Hi dandiest,

Very nice work you done here.

Only one problem: I am running v3.3 on SD card.

My battery drains very quickly - in 1.5 -2 days, without using phone very much.

Do you know if there is a solution?

Much thank you,
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Great !

Did you also make the modelnumber T-Mobile G2 changeable ?

And is the send-button in camera fixed ?

And again: BIG THANKS for your hard work.

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] simphony:
Easy

Please DANDIEST can it be made ver. 3.4 for us who are not experts. So if I format micro card without partitions and start 3.4 over maglar it would be super if this works without all this update packages all over the tread.Thanks

Hastarin 8.6

I updated Magldr v3.4 with Hastarin 8.6 found in Dandiest update here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11026037&postcount=2315

It improve speed but kill Internet Data connection.

I reconfigure my APN, but this did not help.

Any way to fix this?

Note: WiFi is working with Hastarin 8.6
[HD2 Android SD Development] emottier:
Take the Hastarin Kernel here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11026037&postcount=2315

Unzip file, put "Update_DL" folder in root SD card.

And overwrite the Zimage found "Update_DL\update\kernel_files" in "Desire_DL" of your SD card.

Reboot.

It improve the speed of the v3.4 build but unfortunatly "Internet Data" does not work. G/E/3G appear with the two arrows, but they dont blink and internet connection does not work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] grandmaster_b:
I am getting the exact same thing !

I was running the hastarin kernel fine on the 3.3 build but I was using the intrid.gz from the 3.1 to get it to boot with magloader I updated using the Update_DL hastarin kernel he supplied and it worked perfect with data and all I was very pleased with the battery life in standby it did not have any spikes so Ma was 2,3,4 and very very steady.

I then upgraded to 3.4 just to get quandrant levels higher which it did but no data :(

This is by far the best SD ROM I have used I can't wait for Dandiest to fix this and upload version 3.4 :)

Dandy can you include Hastarin as the default kernel please ?

I think the general vote is that its the fastest kernel and best battery life for this build ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] veryh2o:
Test...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tubgirl:
After booting, try and enter "Flight Mode" and then exit Flight Mode... for me that will make 3G-data work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] heroakemi:
Okay i just got this ROM for my htc hd2 and it looks fine,smooth and all

but my market store isnt working.. wtf is this?

if i press donwload it goes download for less then a second then it just disapears :S

before this ROM i had the android 2.3.2 gingerbread SD, but that one also couldnt download anything, so i thought this ROM wouldve been better ><

i tried unmouting the SD, and also delelting the cache....

any help?

if anyone does know hhow to fix this also for the 2.3.2 gingerbread version, please do tell!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
what's it？can elaborate more?

for photo share, it's a known issue for hd2, unless I have enough time I will not look into it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sbdop:
don’t worry, please be patient we can wait for new udgrade.

:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] grandmaster_b:
Tried that.

Thasts not the issue for me I get the arrows so and data connection says connected but I get no data up and down.

Same as a few others on here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] colossus_r:
a question for you guys who try other kernels

Which one its the fasted ???? with no big probs !!!!

@dandiest

Thanks for this incredible build m8 ....... its amazing what this device can do!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] grandmaster_b:
I have tried nearly every kernel on this build and hastarin for me produces highest quadrant and best battery but no data working on latest 3.4 for me.

3.3 was fine with hastarin for data but lower quandrant scores.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
upload the fix for high incall volume
[HD2 Android SD Development] emottier:
Data Internet

Tried that, several times "Flight mode" on/off and also several reboot, reconfigure my APN, no improvement.

Noob idea:

Which files have been changed with Hastarin 8.6 which concern Data Internet?

Those we updated with Hastarin are bcm4329.ko, cifs.ko, msm_rmnet.ko, tun.ko and Zimage.

I know some concern WiFi.

We might restore some of them from gpc kernel to get Data Internet ??
[HD2 Android SD Development] rolandas1000:
Hi,

I am using DL DesireZ v3.3 SD on Win6.5

Not working wifi !:(
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
I tried to change T-Mobile G2 in DesireZ in build.prop, and there is standing DesireZ, but allways appears T-Mobile G2 :-(

And it would be great, if led-notification would be fixed.

I prefer also H8.6, because mac-adresses and speed.

GPRS/3G/HSDPA is also working fine.

Battery drain is 3mA to 7mA in standby with mobile connection on, wifi an bt off.

I am using sd-version starting with ebl, not magldr.

Then it would be perfect for me and for a lot other people, I think.

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] emottier:
Data

Are you saying that you are v3.4 hastarin 8.6 and your Data internet is working?

Can you tell us how are you configured? ppp, rmnet and which files did you install with Hastarin 8.6?

Thank you

Hi all,

i need help with a few issues.

1) i just changed over from MDJ desire HD build and i love the keyboard that comes with that build.

can some1 teach me how to bring that keyboard over??

2) MARKET does not work for me.

i tried installing apps and it refuse to download. i just checked with both wifi and mobile data but nothing works...

3) can someone teach me how to change to hastarin kernel for this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] tophechris:
Hello Bighardy, Emottier.... and of course Dandiest,

First of all a big thanks again dandiest for your work on this built. For people having very limited knowledge on programming, it's really amazing what you and all the xda people can do. I really appreciate en enjoy very much. :)

Having said that, I am still facing some issues on the v3.x builts regarding data connection. I have the E / 3G / H sign on but the data connection is not working. I have tried all the APN settings available with no success so far. The wifi is only identifying some hotspots, it seems (according to other forum) that it might be related to the capacity to access to hotspot only under channel 10 if I remember well. I face exactly both problems with the Cope CM7 sd built.

But what is even more amazing is that the built desire Z v2.1 and v2.2 can connect without any problem to E / 3G / H and to all wifi hotspot. :confused:

Another amazing (and headache) fact is that another xda built tester of Cope Gingerbread sd built found that he faces this connection problem only with one of the three operator available in France (no data connection with Bouygues, but data connection with SFR, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11072743&postcount=1432) :confused: :confused:

Do you have any idea what have changed between the series 2.x and the series 3.x to affect that much the access to data?

Could it be the same issue (desire Z sd built and CM7 sd built)?

HD2 European

radio 2.15.50.14

WM6.5.5 rom Artemis v41
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
I have changed to H8.6 with the content of zipfile included in v3.3-package. Additional I copied the zImage in Desire_DL.

For proper mac-addresses I added bt.mac and wifi.mac in startup.txt.

That's all for changing kernel.

Data connection works (as you can see), wifi works also.

One time it happend, that data connection would not reactivated after switching wifi off.

Then I switched wifi on and off again and data connection was working again.

That was after first wifi using after first boot only. Til now no problem any more.

[HD2 Android SD Development] siriokeliang:
I have the same problem
[HD2 Android SD Development] emottier:
Install v3.4 (solve Market) or wait new Dandiest's version.
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
Apply the 3.4 update. Use ONLY the Update_DL folder.

Download here
[HD2 Android SD Development] mamdouhn:
hi dandiest can you give for us the best setup for SetCPU!:)

and how to close the running program?

thanks for your hard work:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] the_busy_bee:
This kernel supported UTF-8 or not? I can't get a UTF-8 support after I changed GPC kernel to H8.6
[HD2 Android SD Development] ymtan:
so what i will have to do is to put this update folder to the root of my SD card and boot into android? the update will happen automatically?
[HD2 Android SD Development] vua777:
hm update stock framework failed
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
yes, but don't replace the Desire_DL folder.

To Hardy, I updated to hastarin 8.6, but it keeps says storage almost full and resets itself every boot.. I don't understand why. Every time I reboot, it greets me with the setup screen. I tried format_ext4 but it still does this :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] ajape:
Do I have to download and install a 1Gb data.img in the fat32 partition of my SD card, even if I have a 1Gb ext4 partition on it as well?
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
no.. you don't use data.img AND ext4.. you either use ext4 or data.img. I recommend ext4 since it's faster, but data.img is so much easier to backup.
[HD2 Android SD Development] grandmaster_b:
I have just managed to get data working with tytung_r2 kernel on the thread below it is based on hastarin 8.6 so should give very similar performance and battery life !

You should be able to place files in Update_DL folder instead of hastarins and I am guessing it should work !

I manually copied them in using root explorer on my phone though just in case.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10429937&postcount=3
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
Dude, so you just placed the update_dl folder and overwrite? And you got 3G data working?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ajape:
Thank you... My card already has the partition, so I'll go that way of course... :) Ok, two more questions please... One, how long is it supposed to run for the first time installing? (I'm guessing there's no "install" per se, just running CLRCAD-HARET for the first time, right?) and second, I have a folder called Update_DL at the root of my sd with the 3.4 update to resolve the market issue inside it already, should I delete it and copy it back to the SD card after installation is done or should I just leave it there from now on and allow it to install the update asap?
[HD2 Android SD Development] robs1971:
Martket fix

thanks for that all sorted....just need to know where to unzip the market fix?

Thanks in advance :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] grandmaster_b:
I deleted the hastarin files from "Kernel files" then placed the ones from the other kernel in there pasted Update_DL on the SD card on same level as Desire_DL NOT INSIDE.........on same level.

I did manually have to copy the zimage from tyung kernel to Desire_DL folder though that didin't seam to copy. and yes data works !
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
You're on v3.4 right? MAGLDR? Ima try this out right now. Will update soon...

Update: confirmed, data is working with this kernel. However, quadrant scores are the same. I'm averaging 2700+ quadrant, however this kernel can only oc up to 1.1 ghz compared with gpc 1.5ghz. Not sure about the battery though.
[HD2 Android SD Development] emottier:
Data ok w/tytung r2

I just updated to tytung_r2 kernel and wouaaah Data works for me, i test WiFi it also work.

Quadrant 2356 first run at 1113,6Mhz. Thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
get the 3.4 update, it works. The Market fixes didn't work for me. Only extract the Update_DL folder to the root of your SD card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
good, so i change the kernel for SD from GPC to tytung_r2? I eventually find out what's wrong with my initrd, now, it surely can boot both SD and nand.

So i will upload the new build soon.
[HD2 Android SD Development] grandmaster_b:
Yes 3.4 but still fast even with no overclocking!
[HD2 Android SD Development] grandmaster_b:
Hi dandy for me hastarin 8.6 still gives best battery and performance on SD with magldr. I was getting constant Ma 2,3,4 with no spikes. Or at least if you can test hastarin for data with 3.4 ? Then for me its the perfect build !

So there was a problem with 3.4 which broke Emmett for some kernels?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
yes, but the major issue for h8.6 is it cannot support ext4 which is a must for fully enjoy new features. :(

but change kernel for all my builds is extremely easy, just use the update package.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ajape:
Has anyone ever actually managed to run this 3.3 version WITHOUT a data.img file? Because the only time I was able to actually boot into android with this rom, was when I didn't do anything like it says in the first post, and then I ended up with a huge data.img file in my FAT32 partition while my EXT4 partition sat completely ignored, of course. After I deleted everything and started from scratch, every single time I've tried to boot with the settings for data.img=0 it just stays in the black screen with the green HTC logo. So, is the 3.3 version on the first post of this thread actually EXT4 compatible, or is it currently just a feature that will be added in the future?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
I'm uploading the full package for v3.4 final now, I think all the problem should be eventually solved, the build is same as nand which I have uploaded early today, from the feedback, it's quite good.

and i quite sure it should be boot from both MAGLDR and SD, previous problem was due to a small but stupid neglect - miss one "$", but wasted so much time. :(

You can just use the system.ext2 and initrd.gz to overwrite the existing ones, nothing will be lost.

the previous upgrade package is only for verifying some concept and already end of life, you should still use this one.

btw, i attached 512m and 1g data.img in the package for you to choose, just extract either one to the Desire_DL folder.

and also attached the H8.6 kernel, for you to change kernel, and i have already posted more kernel in the Fix&update on my nand thread.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ajape:
So, are those data.img files absolutely necessary to run this SD rom? Because I've been trying any way possible to run the 3.3 that was last posted on the first page of this thread with my EXT4 partition, and it has all been to no avail so far... So is this EXT4 compatible or not, please...?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
yes, same as Nand version, it can support ext4 or even 2 ext4 partition.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ajape:
So yes, the Data.img files are absolutely necessary but there's still support for ext4??? That's a first, most certainly... Ok, I'm going to copy the data.img to my Desire_DL folder and then see if it finally wants to install using the EXT4 partition at last... Thanks! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] grandmaster_b:
Fair enough........... then I would say for speed/quandrant go with Tytung kernel but battery life with the GPC is better..........has less spiking.

So in latest version for SD/Magldr then I should be able to use hastarin again with working data with data.img ?

If so the circle will be complete for me until HTC release a gingerbread sense or honeycombe :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] KuZeN:
Can I use old data.img from 3.3 final ? I`m use Android from SD boot from wm 6.5
[HD2 Android SD Development] raven_raven:
It's very cool that someone is still makin such great SD Android builds. Congratulations sir dandiest!
[HD2 Android SD Development] kergekecske:
