How I got the pass through mode working

I got the Internet Pass Through mode working without doing complete clean install. As I mentioned earlier I originally did the rom upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7 preserving all my installations and configurations. I was really amazed I didn't have to do any re-configuring to have the smoothest rom I ever experienced with my HD2 - BIG Thumbs Up to Sergio and the whole CoreDroid team.

Anyway, the Internet Pass through mode was the only thing I couldn't get to work. As was mentioned earlier the only way to get the pass through working was to do the clean install.

Please note I had the HTC sync installed ages ago and kept it up-to-date by running upgrades when they became available. So I checked for upgrades before trying the pass through with 1.7 as well and was pretty much convinced I had the latest version. I think I was wrong. Today I decided to go to HTC site and selected downloads for HTC Desire HD. Downloaded the HTC Sync with its USB drivers and miracle happened. My HD2 is happily connected to the internet via USB port on my PC (Win7 64 bit).

I hope that will help others to get the option working.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Very interesting..... will have to try that out. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dic3ptor:
hi

Maybe some guys here can remember my Video a few Days ago. It shows that i had a problem with my messages. But here you can see it again.

[YOUTUBE]boC2mFkp_20[/YOUTUBE]

Now i have exactly this problem with my Contacts. When i tab on them the "Phonebook" close. Same like the Message widget in the video above. I have tried to fix permission and i have reinstalled the Contacts Widget and the HTCContacts.apk but same! Somebody have an Idea???
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Go to the htccontacts.apk (in root explorer or similar) and see if the permissions are at rw-r--r-- format? Never had this issue yet (of course never tried, hehehe), but will look at it right now. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dic3ptor:
okay

Can you tell me the Path to it?

EDIT. Found it! Tpermission is -R--- How can i change this?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
/system /apps

if you are in root explorer, it will be in r/o mode. You need to change to r/w to edit that directory
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dic3ptor:
Dont have Root Explorer it is a payed app in germany you have to pay with credit card and i dont have one.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] suicide monkey:
Use es explorer

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
let me see what else has the permissions options.. I don't know if the CoreDroid explorer does....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dic3ptor:
Okay

I got it. I have to pusch Mount r/w and permissions now rw-r--r-- rigtht?

Must i do a reboot!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aortega:
Hi Dic3ptor, saw your video, as for the market and the contacts widget, have you tried to clear cache partition on CWR yet?

What I have experienced by transferring the .apk files from previous ROMs is only when the app fc's and clear cache partition, fix permissions, or clear data, doesn't work., let me know what what you have done so far, as for me, every file in system/app has the same rights (-r)

Sent from HTC HD2 COREDROID Froyo, V1.7, using my hands :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
a reboot should set the permissions.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dic3ptor:
Okay

Here what i did until now.

At first i have tried to clear all caches and Fix permissions.

Than i copied the HtcContacts.apk and the Contactwidget.apk from zip (1.7) into System/app adn resinstalled them. After this same as above but nothing.

And now i have tried what ljjehl telled me but didnt work.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aortega:
Oki, give me some time, gotta check something, it is only with contacts widgets and the market right?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] drharisis:
is htc navigation free in this rom????It is a trial or cracked???
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't work out of the box though. I have to set the experimental feature of the root explorer to make it all work. I didn't know this had that option. This is a great app!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dic3ptor:
No only the contacts! That Video was a problem i had a week ago but this was solved after a freshinstall. The Contacts problem is new. But it is the same like the SMS problem in my old video.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
I tried to break mine also, that didn't work either. I wonder if maybe your files are broken/corrupted. Maybe a replacement of the files may fix this?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dic3ptor:
You mean to replace the APK´s, i have tried.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
And odex file?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dic3ptor:
okay this i can try to.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/

Odex is part of the apk......
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dic3ptor:
SOLVED!!!!

The problem ist solved! After replacing the Contacts.apk and odex and the Contactwidget.apk and odex all is working fine!!!!! Thanks ljjehl your tipp did it!!!

Maybe we should do that in the FAQ with an How to replace APK´s and odex files!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aortega:
D you mean the GPS?, the app you use for leading you through the streets until you have your final destination?, yes, it is free and working, coming with Google maps, you can download it from the market.

Sent from HTC HD2 COREDROID Froyo, V1.7, using my hands :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Yes.....that will be helpful....

Aortega, I (and Dic3ptor) propose an addition to your FAQs....!! :D:D:D:D

My coffee tastes REAL good right now!! :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dic3ptor:
To add this in the FAQ maybe hard! As far as i know you need to have an AndroidSDK version on your PC and you need JavaSE or something on your PC. And to explain how to this is hard! And you need a goot Internet because the AndroidSDK version need 1.2 GB to Download.

EDIT. And i bet this was the same way to become the SMS Widget to work again as i had this problem a week ago! :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Work with us (me and Aortega).....we'll work this through ;);) :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aortega:
@ dic3ptor and ljjehl, glad you figure it out, I'm checking this with the team right now, thanks for that guys, the thing is that I personally think that it is kind of disturbing, as I said, to me, having some inexperienced people ( but you guys are, not talking about you both) messing with the system folders, if I get a green light, I'll include it in the FAQ'S, just give me some time to dig into this, thanks!

I mean the premium navigation...which is offered through location...it seems to be a trial...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lhernana2j:
It is a trial. Not very good imo. Stick with Google navigation. The best and it's free. It's one of the main reasons I have stayed with Android and not jumped ship to WP7.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
You got that right. This is cool live navigation. I think it beats the standalones, unless it's in areas uncharted by Google, but the Google SAT should help from above! I use the iGO standalone, just now looking at the Google maps stuff. Thanks again, lhernana2 !! (gave you a proper thanks button press :) )

iSyncr for PC v2.5.6 and CoreDroid v1.7

Is anyone successfully using iSyncr for PC v2.5.6 with CoreDroid v1.7?

I'm having a bit of difficulty getting started (it doesn't seem to recognize my SD card), but before I spent a lot of time working on it, I thought I better check to see anyone else has been able to make it work.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Isn't this a paid app? I was looking at this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.easyphonetunes.android.app&feature=search_result

But have not started to run it yet (already installed). Part of the issue is no iTunes account for me yet. My kids have one though......
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TKruzze:
Yes, ISyncr (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrtstudio.iSyncr)is a paid app. It was, by far, the most popular iTunes synching program that supported artwork and play count. That's why I selected it. However, I thought before I poured a bunch of time into trying to make it work, I thought I'd find out if anyone else has been able to make it work with our beloved CoreDroid. Thanks for the reply!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
You just might sell me into this one....it also has a wifi add-on option! I never liked using USB cables.... LOL

I'll let you know later...hahaha

Hi,

I wonder can somebody help me?

Whatever I do I cannot copy the Zip file to the Sd Card. Is there any other way to install the ROM?

Thank you
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
How are you trying to copy it to the sdcard?

The way I like to do it is via Clockworkmod recovery.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] El_Nino1970:
Yes that is what I am doing but I am keep getting file is too deep error message!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aortega:
Have you checked the md5 hash?, it is in my docs, you may have a corrupt file

Sent from HTC HD2 COREDROID Froyo, V1.7, using my hands :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Are you doing this:

21. Using Volume down button move to “-mounts and storage”

22. Press call button (left).

23. Move down to mount USB storage

24. Press call button (left).

25. A new drive should be mounted to your PC.

26. Navigate to MyComputer and open the new drive (ex: F: E: G: etc…) (Window may have already popped up)

27. Go to the HD2_Core_Droid folder

28. Copy the HD2_Core_Droid**.zip to the HD2 sd card root (the window that pops up)

29. When finished copying and unmounts is selected, press the call button (left).

30. Press the back button

31. Move down to “-install zip from sdcard”, and press call button (left).

32. Move down to “-choose zip from sdcard”, and press call button (left).

33. Select the CoreDroid_V*.*.zip, press left button

34. Wait till it´s finish flashing, you will then see a flashing “CoreDroid”. Flash options will reappear.

35. Push end button (right).

36. Select “Reboot system now”

37. Let HD2 reboot giving it time. Wait at least +/- 10 minutes.

I was wondering if I copy individual folders to SD Card then can I install the ROM?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] El_Nino1970:
Yes I am doing all that but after mount SD card I cannot copy the zip file!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Are you creating an EXT partition? it's required in EU phones, but not in TMOUS phones.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
It does look like your SDcard is somewhat corrupted. You need to repartition your card.

What happens when you mount the card via CWR? Does a window pop up on the computer?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aortega:
Ok, my question is, once you select mount usb storage, your computer shows your SD folder? If not, you gotta try to re-insert your SD card, make sure you have reformated y SD card before doing this. Let ljjehl and me know this step please:)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] El_Nino1970:
Yes it does, I copy it then it goes about 80% then it stops! Error message file path is too deep! I was using 1.6 before I never had a problem.

I formatted the SD Card. Maybe some problem on my Laptop or SD Card...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aortega:
O.k. you gotta reformat completely your SD card, create a new partition, go to my banner and you will find the instructions and the link for doing that on easeus software, also, make sure you have a non corrupted file (zip file) checking the md5 hash, you can find that number in the v1.7 faq's document, let us know please:)

After installing the 2.1 GPS libs from tytung (i took the NMEA as well) install GPS Status from the market and set it to download gps assistance data all 6 hours (that´s what i do).

The assistance data will be renewed if you run the app gps status (you can also take leo agps injector).

GPS fix works for me within 3-4 seconds.

You can download the maps for the google navigation, for this you have to enter the location app, press menu button and choose "get more" (i actually don´t know what it is in english, that was a mere translation from the german words).

From there you can download the maps of the area you want to navigate in, for germany for example the file is 714 mb in size. (really great since the maps are up to date :) ).

To run navgiation however you need a data plan (the route is downloaded online), don´t know however if you only need it in the beginning and can turn data off while navigating.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] El_Nino1970:
Thank you for the help! I really appriciate it.

How can I see my file's md5 hash?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
via md5summer or equivalent md5 sum checker http://www.md5summer.org/

Don't forget that button, so everybody involved can see who helped who....it reduces clutter and also help others see that they are appreciated......
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
I wonder how much of the maps can be downloaded, so it won't be necessary to download anymore? I remember there are layers of magnification.....

I guess it doesn't seem to matter. I am in the south central area of the U.S., so I guess that means 784MB needs to be downloaded....whew!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] El_Nino1970:
Doesnt matter what I do it doesnt work :(

I installed Win 6.5 ROM than copied the zip file to SD Card without any trouble! Problem must be CWR! Is there any other way other than CWR to copy zip file to SD Card?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
ok, let's try one step at a time. You currently have task29 Done and Magldr flashed?

You can simply add the microSD card to an adapter, then transfer from PC via that adapter...

I have a microSD to SD adapter, plus I also have a Flash drive adapter to connect from SDCard to USB slot.

I have already hspl. Task29 done, magldr flashed then DAF then Partition the SD Card. They all ok but then I mount the USB SD Card new window pops up and I copy the file to the Card. it is very slow then it reaches to about 80% I have a error message saying that file is too deep!!!!

I am about to go mad. I flashed all Coredroid ROMs without any problem in the past. I dont understand why I cannot copy the file...:(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
There are different interpretations to "file is too deep". It can be because of corruption, folders with long filenames over 256 char, or too many nested folders. Did you just copy the zip, then right click and paste in the window of the sdcard?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TKruzze:
A quick question... You are copying the file over, right? You're not trying to extract it to the card, right?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] El_Nino1970:
No, I did Task29 again, MAGLDR, then DAF then Partition SD Card, than USB Mount new window opens I copy the file but after 80% I get error message file is too deep...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aortega:
Just 2 questions: I suppose you ran task29, mgldr, and CWR as administrator, right?, the second one, how is the name of the zip file you are trying to copy?,

CWR means the daf file.

well, that is a non-issue. I use 3.0.0.5 with no issues. I tried to upgrade to what you have, and it didn't work, so I ended up reinstalling the Magldr via the third link under my banner (norom) This is the standard Coredroid install stuff for all their Roms....

Now where are you plugging in your USB cable on the computer? The computer may be the problem here.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TKruzze:
MBO probably means motherboard in this case.

Always a good idea to use a dedicated USB port!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Haha, yeah. It may be due to the fact that the main built in USB sockets will definitely be USB2.0+ whereas some (even relatively new) boards only run USB1 on the extension ports.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Exactly why I am talking about Windows errors......now you need windows sync drivers to connect the phone to the computer. Best way is from the Android sdk (we will be going to android soon.....).

If you have a quick connect to the computer when you open USB via CWR, then you must have the correct drivers....

[HD2 Android NAND Development] El_Nino1970:
I dont understand why I can copy while windows 6.5 installed but I cant through CMWR?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aortega:
O.K., that's it. you gotta reformat your sd card dude, why, because you have a very dirty partition right now, what you have to do is with that software, delete your current partition, then your sd card will be completely in blank, creating a new partition in FAT32 ensures you have no issues transfering and reading files, from where are you trying to copy the zip file then??
