Thank you for such a quick reply, so just to be clear the voice issue ive heard of is fixed? and i can unlock the phone and use it with att and put android on it as well? i dont use data much so 3g wont be missed much.
[General Questions and Answers] rexdino:
voice issue depends on the version of radio rom of ur HD2.

roughly told it is fixed (be frank, so far I haven't encountered this problem from my day 1 lol)
[General Questions and Answers] Sentinel196:
Honestly, why would you buy an HD2 if you want to run Android. As wonderful as the development here is, it will most likely never be as stable or bug free as a device which runs Android natively.

I'd much sooner buy an HTC EVO or Desire HD. In fact I'm tempted to try and sell my HD2 to get one.

I'm by no means trying to put down the work of the Devs, they do a fantastic job and are very close to what I would call a stable build for daily use. But seriously, you will find Android on the HD2 frustrating at the best of times when compared to a device which is designed to run it.

P.S - This should not be in the development forum.

hd2 running andriod

hi im new to the forum thing but i know a bit about phones the hd2 running android is a very good option for you there are a few issues still effecting hd2s at the moment one is mms cannot recieve or send mms (pic msgs)and the other issue is the bluetooth its not a major issue as you can get a blutooth app from the store i run a build that uses the ram of my phone to speed up the build and i havent had any problems with it as of yet and its a lot quicker if your new to flashing i would just put the build on a 8gb sd card (you need to set it up first )but its a lot quicker than the normal builds that run from the sd card

if you have any problems let me know and ill get a reply asap
[General Questions and Answers] itsyasuperman:
I want an hd2 because its sort of a cheaper alternative for me to use than to buy a samsung captivate or vibrate, and its one of the few GSM phones with its kind of specs at its price. Also ill be switching carriers in 6 months so i just want to use it until then.

And everyone else, thanks for the info, you've been a great help and if i need help ill ask again, and i wont try to clutter the forums, i didint realize there was a Q&A forum, my bad lol :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MarkDenver:
Ok so here is the deal, and yes i have been searching for hours to see if there is already a thread and yes I already posted this in the ROM thread i was using but no answers. I was running an Android build that runs on RAM and i messed up a setting. In MDJ's froyo Streak lite ram build there is a cyanagen setting for the lock screen. I was trying to set it back to the slide lock because i had it on the menu button and somehow my fat fingers set it to the trackball and locked the phone in one fellow swoop. So now i am locked out of Windows too. I rn task29 reflashed stock rom, changed radio, flashed a lite custom winmo rom and hard reset numerous times. If i let the HD2 go into sleep by itself it is fine most of the time but if I put it into standby with the end key hard button it will never unlock. The screen wakes up but i cannot move the lock.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has a suggestion for me, obviously this change has stuck to my phone somewhere and i cannot find where it is. Please help this idiot out. thank you.

Sorry but have I missed something here, How on earth can this lock you out of windows??

Just reboot the phone! :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MarkDenver:
i understand it seems weird but there is a software conflict some where because it will NEVER come out of sleep in any rom if i put it to sleep with the power button. the time changes so the phone is running when i wake it but the touchscreen does not recognize touch.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Sounds like your digitizer took a dump.

This is not an issue with Android or WM, you have a faulty piece of hardware.

Just an unfortunate coincidence that it happened while switching between Android and WM.

Unless your screen still responds to touch while in Android?

But then if thats the case, it's a problem with WM touch drivers, not Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MarkDenver:
I booted into Android and i was still getting sod but i was able to break out of it a couple hours ago but mostly it locked up. Now it is locking the screen completely even when it is not locked in Winmo so maybe you are right. But usually i can navigate through windows fine until it locks....Ok hard reset now i can maneuver around in windows again but standby still locks me out only if i use the power button to sleep it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Its simple to disprove that it has anything to do with android.

Just remove sdcard and do a hard reset of windows mobile. No androind files are in your phone they are all on your sdcard.

Your problem is hardware based not software unless a hard reset solves it or another WM rom.

What is your sd card?
[Nexus S Android Development] k0mpresd:
this is how i did it anyways. i had to flash the boot.img and update via stock recovery to get the ota to flash. but then no root! :(

so heres how i got it back:

download the superboot/paulobrien method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882333).

boot phone to fastboot.

fastboot boot boot.superboot.img

let phone boot, open terminal, su, just to check. ;)

reboot phone.

rooted and ota'd now!
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
I've got root back, but not by that method. I think it might be a mistake to flash that boot.img, as the 2.3.1 update patched boot.img... so replacing it with one from 2.3 might not be the best idea. But I guess no one really know what the changes might be.

I guess time will tell :p

The method I used was:

1. Boot into fastboot.

2.

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.0-crespo.img

3. Reboot from fastboot directly into recovery (not doing so will cause android to replace CWR).

4. Mount USB, copy su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip to the /sdcard via windows/linux

5. Mount /system

6. Install update from zip (browse to were you put su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip).

7. Install it, and reboot.

8. open root explorer, and rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.old

9. open ROM Manager, reflash CWR.

now you are all done, rooted, w/ CWR :D
[Nexus S Android Development] distortedloop:
I reflashed CWM, then from CWM, remounted /system, then used adb to chmod 6775 su. That restored root pretty easily.

What Recovery image are you using? Are you able to get into it consistently? I can't from fastboot except for if I immediately hit it up after flashing CWM with fb, or from ROM Manager (flash from RM, then select reboot to recovery).
[Nexus S Android Development] k0mpresd:
its not flashing it. read the command. its only booting to that image to install su. then reboot will bring you back to stock 2.3.1 boot.img. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] k0mpresd:
im using stock recovery.
[Nexus S Android Development] chris6278:
I'm rooted on 2.3.1 but I lose clockwork recovery when I reboot an gota reflash it using rom manager. Anyone having this problem
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
Sure it is. But on Android bootup, a script is running somewhere to replace it with stock recovery. They did this on Droid_1 after the first or second update (that's my only other android phone... so my android experience is limited).

edit: I just found the script. It's /etc/install-recovery.sh .... just renamed my to install-recovery.sh.old. gonna reflash CWR and test it now.

edit2: yep, works great now. CWR, and retained my 2.3.1 boot.img :D
[Nexus S Android Development] chris6278:
So is this something that the devs of clockworkmod need to fix in order to not lose clockwork recovery when u reboot the phone
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
No, it's a safety mechanism so you can't lose recovery... It has nothing to do with clockworkmod. Someone can make a root script or app that disables it easily. Or people can just do it themselves manually.

edit: actually, all that needs to be done is add some code to the update script inside su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip so when it installs the update, it renames install-recovery.sh
[Nexus S Android Development] plmiller0905:
I want to attempt to restore my root by using your method. But I'm lost at the part when you use adb chomd 6775 su,

I can read an ive done all the steps u posted but my ? Is where in root explorer do i find /etc/install-recovery.sh so i can rename it? Im learning this as i go so excuse me if i sound stupid sometimes
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
do you have root explorer? if not, it's just a file explorer that has root access. by default when you open it you are at /

you need to scroll down to /etc

go in that folder and find the install-recovery.sh

look up top for the button to turn it from read-only to read-write, click it

go back to the file long press it, and then choose rename.

[Nexus S Android Development] radinjxu:
Is it necessary to go back to stock to get the OTA? Won't it just be incorporated into future custom ROM's. Sorry, I'm somewhat new to the whole rooting community and am unsure of whether or not I need to flash back to stock, unrooted to get the update, or if I can just stick where I am and get it in an update to a custom ROM.

where do i get recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.0-crespo.img?

edit: im an idiot. sorry i got it now :)
[Nexus S Android Development] jblade1000:
so if all the future ota updates require stock recovery, we can just un-do the rename of that file and reboot to get stock recovery, then update, then re-flash CWM recovery from ROM Manager (assuming the ota retains root or you re-root)?
[Nexus S Android Development] kramer987:
having a bit of trouble here. i followed all the steps but when i go to rename the install-recovery.sh file i am told that it is a read only file and cannot be changed. how do i fix this?

i also tried this method and get the same error:

adb shell

su

mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.bak

EDIT:

nevermind. got it to work using this:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.bak
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
how do you go into adb? is it just through the terminal? i'm confused. I'm pretty new to the adb thing?
[Nexus S Android Development] nyijedi:
Does flashing a new recovery normally result in all data on the Nexus S getting wiped? This happened when I first flashed the clockwork recovery when I rooted and I wasn't expecting it. I'm currently rooted, but my recovery has reverted to stock. If I flash clockwork recovery back on (and then rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.old), will my phone be wiped again?
[Nexus S Android Development] DKYang:
No, only unlocking the fastboot will erase everything. Possibly locking it will also erase everything, but I haven't done that so I'm just assuming. Flashing recovery images should not result in loss of data.
[Nexus S Android Development] alexeiz:
I'm left with a broken wifi as well. Is there any way to fix it?

Or where do I find the stock boot.img?
[Nexus S Android Development] k0mpresd:

[Nexus S Android Development] alexeiz:
And it did fix the wifi. Awesome.
[Nexus S Android Development] nyijedi:
Ah. So it's just the unlocking that erases everything. Thanks a lot for the info.

[Galaxy Tab General] Suleeto:
So I've been using my Tab connected to my ad-hoc wireless router generated by my Tilt 2. My Tilt 2 has an unlimited data plan, and I've been using it like that with my netbook for most of this year now. The Tab works fine like that, but it's still a hassle to set it up every time.

So I've been contemplating the practicality of a direct connection to the 3G network, but the biggest plan is 250 MB for around $15 USD.

My thoughts are this: Just how fast can someone blow through 250 MB, surfing and chatting on instant messengers? Web sites are getting more and more graphics-intensive, and some of them even auto-update icons on the pages.

Give me your opinions on this please. I especially am interested in what you AT&T people think, but I'm sure that anyone on this site can debate the points of direct vs. to-the-phone data sources for the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] caveman999:
Please correct me if I am wrong, but you said that the biggest plan is 250mb for $15 a month. AT&T also offers a 2gb plan for $25 a month, however. I would be able to eat up 250mb pretty fast because I travel a lot and watch youtube, so if I could afford two data plans, I would opt for the higher data allowance.

If I were in the same situation as you, I would just flash a European firmware onto the tab (there are some great guides on this forum) and pop the sim card back and forth whenever needed. This might not be as practical for you if you have to take the battery out of the phone to get to the sim card (I have an iPhone and can hot-swap sims) but at least this way, you aren't wasting your Tilt 2's battery.
[Galaxy Tab General] Suleeto:
Hmm I dunno if 2GB is even enough! I wish I had a handy program to track my data useage regardless of whether I was on wifi or not, that way I could get a beetter sense of how much I use in a month's time, or even a week or a day.
[Galaxy Tab General] agentdr8:
Why not just use your Tilt 2 sim in the Tab exclusively? You'd need to flash a few FWs to enable voice functionality, but the you'd get an all-in-one device with unlimited data ;)

[Nook Color General] RSPatterson:
Just thought I would mention that I was successfully able to turn my my Nokia E71 cell phone (Symbian OS -- S60 v.3) into a WiFi Hotspot, allowing my Nook Color to wirelessly tether to the cell and its network.

It was simple and took about 10 minutes -- simply installed a copy of JoikuSpot software on the Nokia (downloaded from Nokia's Ovi app store), started the app and my new cell appeared in the Nook Color Wireless dialog.*

I suspect there are other cell phone operating systems, including Android, that have similar cell phone hot spot apps, that the NC can log on.

* Note: In this case, the WiFi connection between Nook Color and my Nokia phone is an "ad hoc" network connection, and therefore the "ad hoc" patch mentioned on XDA and NookDevelopers websites needs to be applied.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
My original device always seems to take forever to go below 100%, and I just got a new device that has the opposite issue - it never goes above 94%. So I did some further tests, tonight.

My 94% device goes down fairly steadily once unplugged. But, the device at 100% does not. Also, when the 100% device is drained and I recharge it, it still says it's charging when its at 100% - so what does this mean?

I think that the battery calibration is off, as we already assumed. So, my 94% device is really 100% and I suspect that it would survive beyond 0% as it probably still has 6% juice left in reality. And, in the case of the 100% device, it's probably mis-calibrated to 105 or 110% (or more?). Since the UI can't show you 105%, it just shows the max of 100% until it goes below 100% which can take some time. I also suspect that the device would cut out at 5% or 10% since it's actually drained completely.

So that's the reason, I think. As to the fix, I don't know. What's weird is that these two devices are so different in terms of how the battery status is calibrated.
