Tigermoto's V3.1 Install guide

Hi guys,

The guide to flashing V3.1 properly is written, and is currently in the hands of a couple of team members i have asked to Proofread it before i release.

It is almost N00b proof so it is quite long, but i wrote it alongside doing it to make sure i missed absolutely nothing.

If all goes well, it'll be online in a few hours.

Many regards, and thanks for your patience.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Sorry then it was a missunderstanding. Of course CoreDroid is the best ;).

Because that, we all here to support it ;).

Do you know that i am missing to read bigger books? But there is not enough time so as allways. It will be a pleasure to work with it ;).

What was the camcorder to use in 3.1 that works?I have lg and it don't work
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Can you PM me your Email address Mike, I will email you the one i have before editing for release, just so you aren't waiting around.

Videocam Illusion my friend, it is cooked in, look in your app menu :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] djtheraven:
oops lol thanx
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
Dude. I have everything done like ur signature. Except. That I chosen. 4096 megabytes. For the. Ext. Partition. And not the recommend size of 1024mb ... cuz I have an q6 TB class 10p car and. I thought it would. Run. Faster. If I choose. 4g extra... so what's the probleme why it doesn't work ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
I had some issues with 2048, so I stuck with 1024. 1024 gives you plenty of room for apps....anything else you can throw in the fat partition
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
I had an issue with 2048 in tests, so 1024 was really enough. Follow thw advise is alltime a good thing to start, because then you can fallback on these things ;).

BTW: i think you mean 6 GB not TB. That will be a lot of apps.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShockHTC:
Hm okay man im gonna try on 1024MB

Yeah, sure i mean GB ^^ they dont even have developed a TB card ^^

But i want to know how can i make my phone faster i thought if the android system has more space in ext partition, i would run smoothier...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iulianteodor:
Hello guys,

HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3.1 is great but compared to HD2 CoreDroid HD V1.7 Froyo is very slow. :( :( :(

I do not understand the problem. :confused:

Any application start or initiation of calls takes a few seconds (5 -10 sec.). Is too much. :( :( :(

I have followed exactly the installation instructions (HD2_Coredroid_Intructions).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
With all the sense 3 goodies, it is slower than 1.7, but try reading this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19656775&postcount=18849

It really can make a huge difference.

If you don't know how to use this app, let me know bro.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iulianteodor:
I have to choose Run as Root and Run at boot or something other?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Just run as Root bro, then wait for 2 minutes for the script to run

Let me know dude.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Exactly......Sense 3 is a resource hog........I'm looking back at Sense 2.1 as well as Sense 3.5. In development right now in hopefully getting you a way faster Rom, with Sergio's extreme eye candy included! :D:D:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] petevick:
Trying to mount USB Storage gives

E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

SD Card is formatted fine. Tried copying zip file on my PC, and installing - install works but leaves me with no storage memory on the device so it constantly reboots

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
sdcard needs to be setup as two partitions, second is EXT3. If you check my CD install notes below my sig, it will detail the steps. Tiger is also setting up a detailed doc showing detailed steps in setting up the Rom also, hopefully will be posted today or tomorrow
[HD2 Android NAND Development] petevick:
Hi,

I followed those instructions from the download - Step 24 is where it fails. It appears to partion the card, but I get the error when trying the 'mount'
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
hmm, sounds like you may need to do a full format on your card now to fully clean it out

Edit: try taking the card out, and pushing back in, in case of poor contacts.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iulianteodor:
Yes. I just did. Indeed, it is much better but I hope that the next ROM will be much better.

Thanks a lot dude. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
What he detailed can also be an improper partitioning. He should follow the steps I detailed a few pages back to the T and try again. Especially the formatting order and making sure both partitions are primary. Also I had that a few times that a partitioning went good but never worked on the phone until I re-did it. So he might just want to do it again?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] johnerz:
Hi guy

Sadly its been a hetic 36 hours or so, and I have not been able to get online to ask/present feed back on this rom.

I have it up and running using the Daf at

misc ya 1M

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

boot yboot|ro 10M

system ya 390M

cache ya 15M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

The phone is very slow to wake up and I frequently have waits of a minute or so for the home screen to fully wake up

Also if I change any settings I normaly am presented with the blue CoreDroid boot screen as it reboots (4 times before I could get Swype up and running)

The phone has had about 20 unintentional reboots, and I have rebooted a few times: after, loading, syncing adding half my app, adding the second half of my apps

When its working I like the rom and its quite fast (the 7 home screens can wiss around at breakneck speed)

Now for the questions :)

Can I speed up Sence loading times? will chaning the daf settings to:

misc ya 1M

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

boot yboot|ro 10M

system ya 445M

cache ya 15M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

or any other settings help, as part of this do I need a fresh start on my sd card to change the settings?

Also I have 2048 and 128 on the sd card, do I need an Ext3 partion set on format or are these settings ok?

Does anyone have an idea why I get the reboots on changing settings?

On a less important note, I'm getting wifi issues, and need to reboot to get any chenge to stick, so i have wifi on now if I switch it off it powers itself back on :( and a reboot is needed, the opposite if wifi is off, and I switch it on, it switches its self off again - this is not a deal breaker :) The sence issues may become one sadly, I am hoping to run this 24/7 unil the full update is available if I can :)

Sorry if it reads like a rant, or if I have missed some importnat info in an recent post ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
you have a dedicated swap partition of 128. That is slowing down the speed....you will have a better chance with speed by removing the dedicated swap and adding a swap file from this link: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=793493&d=1322139358
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Hey Johnerz bro,

Glad you have tried it, but a few glaring errors there my man.

First of all, i think 2GB Ext 3 is excessive, try 1GB.

Next SWAP, 0MB everytime bro, The swap created by Dorimanx sits in the FAT32 and actually works. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19656775&postcount=18849

Try it, install Script manager from the folder, open Swap250.sh and run as root.

Next, thought you were English? You have a TMOUS?

If you do:

misc ya 1M

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

boot yboot|ro 15M

system ya| 390M

cache ya 15M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

will be great, but if you have an EU it won't fit

Try this

misc ya 1M

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

boot yboot|ro 12M

system ya | 390M

cache ya 13M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

Reboots on setting change is odd, is the phone Autosyncing in the background?

Maybe OOM error.

Let me know bro.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] johnerz:
Thanks Guys, its an EU version so I'll try that later, I have change the synce back to manual it make no difference :(

I have the swop file linked by ljjehl and I will also try that later, I'm off the bed now its a very early start and busy week, but I'll try to post back :)

as always you help is appreciated :)

v3.1

After two weekends of fighting with the installation of v3.1, third attempt finally looks more or less successful. The probable cause of the first failures I guess was my card Transcend 16 GB Class 6 card (TS16GUSDHC6). Long time ago I tried install the first CD GB version on this card and had to went back on CD v1.6 on my old 4GB Class 4 card. Symptoms of failures of the firts CD GB and v3.1 with this card were same: "pocess bla.bla.bla failed and should be closed".

This card I checked with all possible tools and it is OK. May be problem with CWR 3.2.0.0 and size or somethig else of this card?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Interesting Thought. I have a 16GB Class 10 from Mustang, some cheapo stuff. I have similar errors all the time with another GB Sense ROM and i was suspecting the card already too but i never found any hard trace to proof it. I am not very good with debugging stuff but i could imagine there's something to it.

I run CWR 5.0.2.6 tho.

Flashing Guide for V3.1

Hi guys,

Just in case anyone has any trouble with CoreDroid V3.1, i have written a guide from start to end.

The guide can be viewed here. (http://goo.gl/F1Hg6)

I know English is not everyone's first language, but hopefully it should translate okay.

Let me know guys, hopefully we will have a surprise for you soon.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] johnerz:
Sound instruction, laid out in an easy to understand format :)

Well done Tiger, I may reflash later in the week to see if I get any better, only a couple of reboots today, but when I stopped changing things they went away :)

P.S, I did not see it linked to your sig?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Thanks bro, is this better? \|/
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Hi Tigermote,

thanks for the 1st version via mail and this one.

Report:

under the point -> SETTING UP THE ROM AND FIRST BOOT

further under ->

3. Now, if you have truly been patient, exactly 15 minutes later to the second, you will be able to set up the phone.

NOT on my phone. It was 1 hour and 20 minutes and then it stucks again.

No setup comes up at all.

I have done all the steps, but here i have to stop because i need my phone tomorrow.

For the meantime i am back to v1.7, sorry to tell this. Strange thing at all.

Version 1.7 is running as an jaguar, but here it stucks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
I find this really odd bro,

The reason i said 15 minutes to the second, is because 15 minutes to the second later after hitting reboot system now in CWM, i was able to complete setup.

I wonder is either your SD is rubbish, or you have bad sectors in your NAND.

I created the Tutorial in real time, meaning i did it as i wrote it.

Sorry mate, i tried.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
I have now used two new cards (bought today) with the right data, also one of the sgt7 and one from my friends phone. This is really strange, because 1.7 is running very well on all the phones. Also i have downloaded the zip file 4 times. Every time i have made the MD5 check, all of them are good. Also after the transfer to the card. They was also perfect in MD5. I am at the end with that. Also i have tested my friends and my sisters phone with the same experience. Every time with a different card and also two different pc's (wxp and w7). I was very busy last night, but this is... i don' t know ;). Our HD2's are now two years old/young. Possible there is something with the drivers, which we don' t see. But on the other site there are a lot of HD2's with the coredroid rom. Otherwise i am at the end with my latin, so we say here (translated from dutch).

BTW:

no problem at all i am happy with 1.7. I will also test two other roms to see what happens with them. Possible i can find out what's going on.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mobtel063:
Hi everybody,

Can i use system software updates with this ROM?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
System software updates?

Dude, this device has never been supported by HTC as an Android device.

There will never be an update for it.

As far as I know, no Android build supports Software updates.

This is not Windows phone 7, Yuki and XBMod have never been here.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
That was a very cool one ;).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alf34:
hi,

I take this rom on my phone, all is good but the microphone is very slow and my friend don't heart me, when i use the freehand it's good.

Can you help me

factory reset , 2 install....

(sorry for my very bad english...)

thank you for your answer
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Your English is fine by me bro, and i am English.

With the mic issue, i don't have it, but the easiest way to fix a mic issue is the reflash the Kernel

Get HierOS 1.8.5 nobtfix 2WCR from here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=766440&d=1320001631

Flash it like a ROM, but wipe cache and Dalvik cache in CWM before rebooting

Let me know bro....

Post modified, link was for CLk and i use MAGLDR, link correct for MAGLDR now
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alf34:
the sound is not extremely hight i does again all your faq 3 times .....with the version 1.7 there's no problem. I'll see this problem in the futur

When the rom start there is a message com.android.phone ... it like after factory reset... :(

many thanks for your answer

i'm back to 1.7
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Mhh, it looks that i am not the only one with the issues. How can we help thr CoreDroid team to have an effort on this? I think everyone of us will help to get it running.

It is an idea to get a rom with no extra app to test things? Or some debug stuff that writes a log file while the first inits? Tell us an we are willing to help ;-).

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
This is REALLY cool mate. Thanky mucho. I will defo steal from it for my own guides :D provided you allow me to, which in turn makes it not stealing :p

no, seriously, i was thinking of writing a guide like this for Dansta's ROM and mefinks this is some very good inspiration. Will get back to you with some "legal" and "copytheft" questions when i get time to sit down and write summert up...

Hi,

searched the thread but did not find an answer. Is there any way to "revert" the partitioning I did in the process of installing this rom? I mean, I have a 16GB card but can only access 14 out of windows. How can I make it completely accessible again?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alf34:
after an other flash it s the same...

i install kernel_hieros_v1.7_2_magldr.zip and it's correct (yes !!)

2 questions :

can i stay with this kernel on this rom?

have you an idea to fix this problem with kernel_magldr_1.8.5_nobtfix_2wcr.zip

what the difference between kernel_magldr_1.8.5_nobtfix_2wcr.zip and kernel_magldr_1.8.5_nobtfix_no2wcr.zip

thanks for your answer
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cityplus:
you must format your sd-card by using "sd formatter 3" or "mini partition tool".

don´t forget to make a backup!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Maxey:
Any special settings i should pay attention to?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cityplus:
i use the standart settings "quick format, format size adjustment off" in sdformatter 3.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
I'm currently out and about so I'm having to use the app. The IME keyboard fix is on the thread in the first few posts after 1.7s release on the 24th August. If you are still struggling when I get home, i'll link to it for you.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
That's a strange one and no mistake. Have you tried the obvious, airplane mode on/off and try again. I have had the text message fail a couple of times on a few ROMs, it was always solved this way, but it was not selective like your issue.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
You can use any Kernel you like bro...... As long as it works with sense ROMs

The difference between the two HierOS kernels is explained in HierOS thread, but it is two way call recording and no two way call recording. For me, the no2wcr got me complaints on sound quality, but the sound was definitely louder.

Silny, if you can't get the connection the easy way is to select USB flasher before connection to the cable. Sometimes it doesn't work for me if the USB is attached.

Please don't use the toolkit bro, it doesn't work for Coredroid. That's why we all link to the CWM files. HD2 toolkit cannot give you 10MB boot cache.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] SeriouslyCrazy:
OK gentleman please do not flame me but I figure it is a simple thing I am missing here and just want a quick answer if possible. I already own a HTC Sensation running CoreDroid and I now am the proud owner of a HTC HD2 that I bought to replace the wife's broken phone and I wanted to run Android so it would be familiar for her. I did the HSPL4 and this was successful and then ran the aMAGLDR and it shows on the device screen and when I connect to my laptop it says that it is connected to MAGLDR and on the device it says:

USB flasher mode

wait USB...USB

so I assume it is connected correctly but when I right click on the DAF.exe on my laptop running windows 7 I get these messages:

Now I can't seem to figure out what is wrong and I have tried to figure it out.....any ideas?
