[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
This question/topic is frowned upon on XDA simply because its asked over and over again and there is no real answer as its subjective.

What is "best" for one person isnt always "best" for another and you may experience problems that another person didnt on his hardware.

There is no point in just asking what is the best one to install, The best thing you can do is to go read some guides etc, research as much info as you can and then try various roms until you find one that you like best or works best for YOU.

Do I need to still have windows on the phone to be able to install Android, or can it be done on its own?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xs11e:
Depends if you're installing a ROM or NAND.

ROMs install on your media card and require WinMo to boot the phone, NANDS replace WinMo.

Note that ROMs and NANDs are located in different sections of the forum.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
???? :confused: ????

You can install SD builds or NAND builds. SD builds are just copied to your SD card and you boot them from within Windows, but NAND builds replace Windows. Both types of build are ROMs.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bhagiratha:
I would prefer the NAND ROMS. I really don't like windows at all.

Can't find the guide to help me do the NAND install.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Nay, dear sir. A ROM refers to software flashed to internal memory, whilst a build refers to software installed on an SD card.

Unfortunately a lot of people ignore or are not aware of this convention, but it's a pretty important one to prevent confusion.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Thanks for the correction, but actually ROM is the chip that the build is flashed onto (in the case of NAND). They're all builds, regardless of location :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
We could be stuck in an endless debate here, because these terms have different kinds of meanings. ROM is also often used as an abbreviation of ROM image, i.e. a image of the firmware on a read-only memory chip (ROM chip). This means that it would be valid to call NAND firmware ROM, and invalid to call SD firmware ROM since it's not meant for read-only memory.

While strictly speaking it is indeed correct to call NAND firmware a build, there has been made a convention (I suppose this is HD2 specific) to keep them seperated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
Casemandan, did I miss something? I have been browsing the JDMS thread for a few days, but don't see how it is "T-Mobile ready." In particular, I'm looking for MMS that comes in the same quality as the sense T-Mobile ready builds. Read a few tips but quality is still sacrificed upon receiving for all gingerbread ROMs I've tried.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Majidjan:
Hello and thanks to all.

According to title of this thread , I need a NAND ROM which has a file manger and support Persian language.

Any suggestion ?

Thanks a million. I thought so but needed to be sure. P.s. I'm about to flash my FIRST custom rom any pointers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_dragon2k3:
The two top dogs around here imo are bionex or axura. Each have their own pros and cons (barely cons). I'm personal to Axura myself, although im still on nero v5. Been getting tired of redoing my homescreens over and over again. I suggest going into the release threads, found in developmet forum, for the respective roms and taking a look at screen shots and youtube search video reviews.

You really cant go wrong either way. Check out the rom bible thread for more awesome roms.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfisanick:
I would defantly stick with the Auxura rom or Som's Bionex rom, Ive bounced between the two, Each rom has it's own feel, while Axura's roms are ultra fast, The Bionex rom has more Gingerbread feel and smoothness, Make your own decesion, but as the previous poster said you can't go wrong with either of them.

Just a word of advice, get in the habbit of disabling Voodoo each time you flash, I made the mistake once and ended up softbricking the phone and it was a nightmare for me getting it back to stock via ODIN.

Good Luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notverycreative:
Actually, if you already have voodoo installed and the rom you're flashing to also has it, you don't need to disable it. I speak from experience :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
This is true, but new. It has only been that way for a little while. Also it ONLY is true if you are going from Voodoo 5 to Voodoo 5 (meaning the one that has the RED recovery).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZachLL88:
Thought, OCLF was ext2 and Voodoo was Ext4 wouldnt that cause problems...

Yes. Yes it would. Read the post right above yours where I said (emphasis added):

Hello, I itried to install a rom not suitable fot T-mous and I can't recover the phone since Then. It's possible to help me out? I became really sad without my hd2.

I tried to install several different roms (official and others), everything seems fine but when it reboots goes to the white screen and reboots...when i enter bootloader shows:

PB81120 ss-b3

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x40

Still charges through usb and the led is working but when i disconnect it from the pc..Turns off instantly

PLLLLSSSS Help me out through this issue
[HD2 General] pokerfreakje:
a plus point of it, ITS NOT BRICKED

DONT DO **** TILL PEOPLE SAY WHAT 2DO..

otherwise you will brick it...(trust me selfexperience, bricked my)

when its bricked, you cant do ****, the phone doesnt turn on, NOTHING happends.

just w8 till some nice people who have some experience want to help you (and me stuck with spl-3.03.0000)

So dont do anything yet!!
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Firstly try switching on the phone without the SD Card installed.

If that doesn't solve your problem then:

Go to HTC's website and download a TMOUS ROM (preferably the 2.10 ROM) - you need to use your phone's serial number to get to download the ROM. If you get an invalid message, then you are trying to download a ROM not suitable fro your phone.

Press and hold the Volume Down button then tap the Power button. You are now in Bootloader Mode. Connect to the PC and the 'Serial' at the bottom of the screen will change to 'USB'.

Run the ROM. Just tick the box about ActiveSync.

If in future you are going to run a custom ROM, then check that it is suitable for a TMOUS. Only flash RADIOs with a .50 in it and above 2.07.50.
[HD2 General] JTSOURIS:
None of the suggestions...worked...Tried to boot without tha sd inserted...Noresult...And I have installed the two official versions of the T-mobile again with no result )):

Any other suggestions///????

Thanks ):
[HD2 General] rikki123s:
Sounds like quite a predicament. Have you tried any of the NAND android roms? Maybe a different os might get the phone to act differently.

I'm not going to say that this will work, but if it doesn't you should be able to hard reset back to a windows mobile os you have used previously by doing what you have done up until now with flashing them back on afterwards, putting you back to your current situation.

[Touch HD General] kruijs:
I was wondering, if anyone has spotted a build/kernel/... with FM radio working?

Especially with finally getting stutter-free sound, a working FM radio app is (for me at least) the only important feature missing from our Blackstone Android builds!

(for example, currently running XDANDROID 2.2.1 AOSP FRX04, no FM radio app to be found...)

I searched a lot, have tried ~10 different builds from XDA and Neopeek over the last month, but no result.

If anyone can point me to what I'm missing, I'd be grateful...

Cheers,

Robbert

---

XDANDROID 2.2.1 AOSP FRX04 on blackstone (690 MHz), viruscrazy test kernel for audiostuttering fix and camera (3Mpix) test.
[Touch HD General] g3rm0:
There are very few Android phones with built-in FM reciver and AFAIK they all have FM Radio App that is device specific. I don't know if it's even possible to port something like that.
[Touch HD General] kruijs:
I was just hoping that it would be possible, since over at the Leo threads, all build/roms seem to have FM radio working, but maybe their app was ported from android device with similar FM chipset?

Our radio seems to be BRF6350 Chipset, other devices with the same chipset:

BRF6350 Chipset:

HTC Diamond, HTC Raphael (not CDMA), HTC Polaris, HTC Topaz, SE Xperia X1

(hero, touch pro, tattoo are also found when googling BRF6350)

Could be interesting to look into?

Robbert
[Touch HD General] Eodun:
Could we find the apk for the FM radio of any of the above devices? I could run some tests and see if we come into something
[Touch HD General] kruijs:
Yeah, was also my first thought, but so far I could not find SD builds/Roms which included radio in any of the threads for those devices, basically Android development for the Leo appears to be in a class of it's own...

On a side note, it seems everyone just streams internet radio, and does not mind lacking FM radio...

Since I currently do not have a data package (always within reach of WIFI at home or at work), I kind of wanted radio for the short trip to work on my bike where WIFI coverage appears to be lacking :)

(also, in the end, FM traffic information would be nice to have in "offline" route navigation, as I have it now on WM)

I'll look further and report back if I find something of interest, maybe I'll politely bother the guys at the Leo thread :)

Cheers,

Robbert
[Touch HD General] Eodun:
I'm in the same situation XD Also I thought of TMC too, IGo8 in WM with it is great.

I'll see if I can find something
[Touch HD General] Eodun:
Evo 4g: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814234

Not the same chip though, but I'll have to start with something. BTW, it seems that it needs to be installed via ADB or els it doesn't work. I'll do some tests today.

Edit: 2 problems: Seems they are for Sense UI and need kernel FM support. Hm...
[Touch HD General] Eodun:
I'm not getting anywhere. Radio FM is supported via Bluetooth chipset.

I'm investigating the htc fm code...
[Touch HD General] g3rm0:
FM radio needs kernel AND android framework support. So you will need: kernel driver, system support for this driver and FM App that uses both. Probably that's why nobody touched this yet. Too many changes since FM radio is not officially supported by google and every manufacturer does FM radio his own way. I'm not saying it's impossible - just not easy.
[Touch HD General] Eodun:
I've dl'd Cyanogen mod FM app source, let's see what I can do.
[Hero CDMA General] Heylookitsbret:
As you can see I have been a member since early summer last year. I have 0 posts, merely because I have not once needed to post for help, or questions. I guess I am here to officially say hello and thank you to everybody. Before froyo, I started out with a stock 1.5 from sprint and updated to a leaked 2.1 FW and rooted the correct way, with command prompt and ADB. Flashed Flipz' fresh 2.0d on up to 2.4.0 was really happy with a custom 2.1 sense rom. Then I finally started to look into CM6 soon after the 2.4 incremental Flipz released. Lets just say I fell in love CM and have not had any problems. Everybody on the hero and eris (buddy as one) forums have helped me a lot. You guys are great and again thank you so much for turning a crap phone into a fun, fast performing, stable phone.

I'll throw in a thanks too. Just obtained the hero about a week ago. Started from 2.1 to the CM6.1 first only to find out camera among other things were not working properly. Then in reading a discussion on CM7 nightlies for the hero and how they were nonexistent at this time, someone mention the aospmod and XDA. Was easily able to get that working on my hero also with a few other mods.

Love the community so far and the great support for the Hero! I plan on having this phone for a good long while seeing as 4g is not available anywhere in my state from Sprint.

Keep up the good work guys!

Is flashing ROMs bad for the vibrant? I mean ROM developers come out with new builds every days or so... and I want always the latest. Not damaging my phone is my fist priority tho :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Yes. But very little.

Everytime u flash a rom, the whole system is being told to act different than before, but u can keep flashing, this phone c an probably go about 6million flashes?

Idk lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
No worse than writing any other information to the flash memory. Yes, flash memory has a limited number of write cycles, but the number is fairly high.

So... by the time your Vibrant's NAND goes dead, you will likely have had three or four new phones!

If you have radio S-OFF you can flash but will lose root. Normal rooting method will not work, you can have the new radio, you still retain the ability to return to the previous rom though. You will remain S-OFF

- If i have ENG S-Off, i can flash it as well as the new radio but it will crash on SU and won't have wifi

If you have ENG S-OFF only then you will lose everything and still not have root, you will also lose the ability to return to the previous rom. You will become S-ON.

also i didn't understand will wifi still work using the radio s-off method?

Wifi works on either S-OFF.

I really didn't get any of this sadly :/ So I am able to upgrade to the new update but if i do it a certain way i will still have the ability to root after? If so, how would i do that?

Hi guys,

I'm stuck with an HTC desire that doesn't want to boot.

I used to restart by itself once in a while and sometimes it would loop the loading screen a couple of times.

I managed to recover it before by using the recovery option on the bootloader but not this time...

What I've been trying to do is to install a clean ROM to see if that will make it boot, but it's proving difficult since I don't have a Gold card and the phone is Branded (T-Mobile UK) and not rooted.

Would you please advise some steps that I can try?

I read some threads in multiple forums but usually people cant even access boot menus properly, I can access both Bootloader and fastboot it's just that I'm not having any success in re-flashing / solving the problem.

PS: current ROM seems to be 2.12.110.2

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashppo:
Update

I have found this thread which is a very similar problem to mine.

The differences are:

- I can actually run HBOOT;

- The phone is not rooted;

But i think the most important is:

- I can't seem to find the PB99IMG image of my current ROM so I could try and load via Gold card as suggested on the thread: "...flash the right (matching hboot, provider and version) RUU, by using the PB99IMG method..."

Any ideas how I can try to fix this? Thanks.
