HTC Touch Cruise - flashing instruction needed

Hey Guys,

I have some questions. I am owner off an old HTC Touch Cruise phone. I have already installed the hard-SPL thing. I downloaded the cyanogenmod, which was thankfully modified by scooter as well. So, now, I do not know, how to flash my phone.

I have already done that flashing a view years ago. The problem is, I can not remember the way, I have done the process. I read the manual, which was posted by fktsndr, you can find it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=381600

Is this the way I have to flash a normal ROM with Windows Mobile 6.1 or higher?

So, if I need programs like Python, aTools and so on, what I have to do first? Please, could you give me a short instrution or post a link to a "how to", which gives me the needed/required informations?

Hopefully, yours Henning

P.S.: Please overlook the failures, I made in my posting. I am not a native speaker!

P.P.S.: I startet the Python aTools File and this tool feels familiar to me. But in the options menu there are only 3 choosable options, donut, eclair and froyo. What about Gingerbread? Which OS I have to choose to flash the Cyanogenmod based on Gingerbread? Thanks for your support!!!

The Polaris is basically a Kaiser without keyboard. Our kernels most of the times support the polaris/vogue. He's more than welcome here :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vasyusya:
I have this build on Polaris for a month or two with separate 20Mb cache partition. Pretty stable and fast. However:

- camera does not work (because 2.6.32 has problems with Polaris camera)

- after boot, I need to start wifi manually, since it is in the error state.

- some strange actions during boot are necessary to make headphones woking

Apart of this I am quite happy with this build.

Hi, it is possible to run this rom from haret? I am using 0.5.3 latest haret, latest kernel dzo 2.6.23.9 and old default.txt. It stop in kernel after line device-mapper: uevent: version 1.0.3. I cant boot no distro with new kernel. Which initrd can i use?

It's 2.6.32.

Just a little question

Well... first of all, i must say this is a really awesome build.

My tilt works great and battery life is ok.

But... (yes, but) I've a little problem.

My phone stops receiving calls or sms sometimes.

The only solution for this issue is switch on and off airplane mode.

The strange thing is that when this issue happends, data connection still working. I can receive mails, what's up messages or browse the net, but "basic services" like make a call or send/receive sms doesn't work anymore.

Could be a radio problem related?

I never lost signal and I can see all the bars at the indicator, but, no sms :(

Thanks!!!

PS: I'm from Argentina (that's because my awfull english) and i'm using a gsm network.

Thanks for the pointer, I do appriciate your response. I did see the guide before, and after all the links to that sent me everywhere. (go here, go there, and everywhere).

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
Not problem. I know what you mean about being angry. I just bricked my G1 (my only phone) last week doing something similar and I was in the same boat. Now I am trying to find a replacement phone for myself.

I am trying to fix this Tilt for my daugther, since it also having problem with constantly shutting down. So I figure I flash it with Android for her amd not knowing that I was following the wrong guide. LOL!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tomcug:
Just follow the guide and you'll have work Android soon :). I'm slowly working on my own phone, anyway, if you run into any problems, we'll help you :).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
OKKIE! Now I am confused. But I managed to download the radio and 1.7.1, and flashed it. Still getting the console error. Not sure about how the atools works.

Now I know that I got the SPL and radio done. (I think), my SPL is at 3.29, but I am unable to verify what version for the radio.

Kernel? Scratching my head on how to get that on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tomcug:
Once you flash a kernel, just turn on the device and wait. When you see "Press and hold Volume Up or DPAD Center to launch installer" just hold DPAD Center and wait. After that you can install Android. Just don't forget to copy androidinstall.tar to your SD card (inside folder called andboot, just like in a guide).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
Do I have to use the Atools for the kernel? Or, can I just download it and flash. Then do the androidinstall.tar file. One more thing it has 3 different locations for the kernel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polac:
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tomcug:
Just use this kernel man and whatever distro you want :).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=933356

And of course use Atools to customize it. More or less you need to set proper device, resolution, Android version, key map and panel type. The last one depends on your Kaiser, however type 2 is the most common one. If your phone has strange colors or simply crashes, you know what to do ;). CPU and GPU overclocking is optional, just use if you want. After that flash your newly crafted NBH and install your favorite distro from SD card :).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
OK! I'll try to download that at lunch today. I also downladed HardSPL 3.34 and will update that this morning from 3.29. Hopefully it works well, so I can load this ROM. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tomcug:
Just don forget to hold DPAD, if you don't do that, you'll just have those errors again. When installer asks you to hold DPAD, do it!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
OK! May be that is what I am doing wrong all this time. What's is DPAD? :confused: Sorry I am not used to the terms yet. :o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tomcug:
Of course it's you mistake if you don't know what DPAD is ;).

When asked by Linux kernel, press the center of DPAD.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
WOOHOOO! You are DA MAN!!! LOL! :D Hmmm! I think I am still missing something.... ***SCRATCHING MY HEAD***

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

OK! I guess, I have to go download the kernel and flash it first then flash the ROM through DPAD.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
KK! Downloaded Kernel and this ROM. Flashed both after edited kernel with Atools. Still going in circle. :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
When doing Atools, which one do I select? Froyo, Eclair or Donut? :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tomcug:
It depends on distro you want to install. If you want to install Froyo, then of course select Froyo! Tell me which distro you copy on SD card. You seem to be a damn hard case, so this should help you :D.

all with force close options.

the boot up screen shows the Cm7 logo then all this happens

the bar notification shows the battery level and the network and the time

once turning the screen off and then back again it shows the lock screen with CM wallpaper and two unlock options time network etc..

on unlocking the same thing about the sorry messages keep happening..

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
I will try that later today. Should have seen your post a few minutes ago. I could have download that at lunch instead of the one I downloaded. :(

Unlucky, may be! I doubt that I can take the VDO of the reboot from the other build. I am not reinstalling the other build again. I am currently on this Froyo build http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2011-08-29-froyo/ If I see any more reboot, I will take the VDO.

ADW for the Kaiser is really terrible. It eats up RAM, and that's one thing we don't have plenty of.

Another app that should be default in every cooked ROM is Titanium Backup.

The default home launcher is way worse for ram useage than adw ESP on a low memory device. Also seriously CyanogenMod always uses adw if you don't like that don't use CyanogenMod

Gentlemen, let's not stray from Android motto. We can change things.

If we don't like the launcher, replace it with another.

You have two options. Install *insert alternative launcher name here* from market, or download the *insert alternative launcher name here* APK, edit the tar file, replace included launcher with your own. It's that simple.

All I can suggest is to use the 8-25-2011 build from SourceForge with Launcher (Pro, if you can get it).

The only stability issue I have is with email sync and push mail. These seem to lock the phone in a dead state, but if you don't use the phone for any email, you should have a smooth running Froyo build with all the extras you need.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] facu_46:
You could pass the link of the rom. Or the link to the discussion forum. which kernel to use it?

Hi this rom is amazing..

I use it with kernel from 1-st post.
