Hi guys,
I own a POLA100 Cruise.
I:
- Downloaded polymod 2.1g UPDATE + DARK THEME 04 Mar
- Downloaded Haret Install
- Renamed default.txt to original-default.txt
- Renamed defalult-polaris.txt to default.txt
- Partitioned a 2 Gb SD as: 900 Primary Fat32 + 1024 Extended (2 x 512 Ext2 Partition).
- Copied on Fat32 partition the folder "andboot" Haretinstall+Pack.tgz
... I launch Haret....
THE FIRST TIME ... Linux booted, but when i hold the D-Pad... Cruise show @A ... and then TIMEOUT.
Now (from second time to now....) ... Haret Run... and I see wierd color and bad lines on the screen.
What I can do to launch a good android image on my Pola100 ?
Anyone can create a "Pack" with Haretinstall, the right default.txt and the polymod 2.1g UPDATE + DARK THEME 04 Mar of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600154 ?
Thanks a lot.
I know that I'm not helping, but... I have the same problem here.

edit the default.txt to:

set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz

Hi,
use warmdonut from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619980
version 240x320. Copy it to your sd-card, run haret using default-polaris.txt. Immediately after you've pressed "run", press d-pad as long as needed to start setup (seems to be very long...).
It's important to press d-pad during boot of android. After installation it runs like a charme. When u need wlan, do an update using the provided wlan update.
No need to do any changes to default-polaris.txt exept if you don't want to start ppp at bootup. This release is much faster than polymods.
Have fun ;o)

I have the same problem sometimes.
There are 3 situations I met.
(1) Wierd color screen with no response.
(2) An error message shows after "Press the DPad".
(3) A Successful boot.
Either (1) and (2) will happen if the boot text doesn't show immediately after the vibration of Haret Run. If the boot text shows immediately (maybe within 5 seconds) after the vibration, there will be a successful boot. Though I don't know which time it will success, I always press the DPad just after the vibration. If it fails, I will do soft reset and try again (or give up).
I change only zImage to zImage-eclair in the default-polaris.txt when using polymod 2.1g. For Myn's Warm Donut, I change nothing.
So, you may do more tries.
p.s.
I use fat32/Ext2/Ext2.
Although the speed of polymod improved, still much slower than the Myn's. But the Myn's seems to have more little problems on Polaris.
Sorry for my English.
Good luck.

Exactly the same for me. Most of the times its the first scenario for me.
Even after a successfull installation i have problems after a softreset.
I launched Haret and hold D-Pad immediately after Vibrate on RUN... and during all boot sequence... but i have this error
msm_i2c.0: error waiting for notbusy
Some suggest?
Bye.

code PIN problem
Hi,
I have another problem with installing Android via SD.
Everything works but at the time of typing PIN code, I enter my PIN code but Android tells me it's an "incorrect pin".
Do you have the same problem?
thanks
I made other 5 tries... 2 with polymod and 3 with wormdonut...
In these tries... both with polymod and wormdonut i had this:
- Running Haret
- After Vibrate... Hold D-Pad
- Even D-Pad hold.... i had a messange "error waiting for not busy"
- I released D-Pad and Hold Again
- After some times of error "error waiting for not busy".... INSTALLED STARTS!!!!
- I had on Screen the message "Warning - Installing android can wipe your device <OK> "
- I pushed D Pad to Give "OK", but nothing happened on my cruise....
- Then.... "Error waiting for busing... in loop"... and I can't install anything.
My question Is.... after install Starts and warning message appairs.... what i can do to launch install ?
Which ways to select ? D-Pad ?
If i could press <OK>... which install method i have to select to install ?
Regards.
FoxCT.

Which default.txt have you used? I tried it with adapted ones several times and always got this "..waiting for no busy..." error. Stepping back to original default-polaris.txt everything worked fine even after reset.

thank you very much, It works now =)

i am having the problem at the first step. i downloaded the 240x320 file, then installed it in SD card (i have a micro SD card) in folder andboot. then i ran Haret and pressed the Dpad button and have kept it pressed. For the next 20 minutes i have just stayed in that position, with nothing happening at all.
kindly tell me where i am going wrong.

DEAR Goy2k
i finally got around to get installation process started - i changed default.txt to default-polaris.txt and it got started.
it asked me options and i chose INSTALL SYSTEM.
after installation started, i followed it as much as i could and i found that in many places, it kept mentioning cannot find or cannot install.
in the end, it fails to install android and the first menu comes back giving options. i finally quit after 3 tries.
what mistake am i making.

Dear Goy2k
i finally got to the following stage now, after various steps-failure messages during installation:
my set rebooted and ANDROID is written in a black screen. a cursor runs below it from left to right. sometimes it stop at the right, then after a while screen goes blank and then ANDROID reappears and the curson starts again.
currently this is going for about 10 minutes or 15 minutes already.
is this going in the right direction? anything else supposed to happen? or should i wait till the battery dies??
i hope you get this now and can reply now.

i am sure you must be laughing by now at my follies.
i have been hoping for a long time to install ANDROID on my O2 XDA ORBIT II.
now, the ANDROID screen has progressed to a new bottleneck. A BLACK SCREEN showing the words 'COULD NOT SET PROPERTY'. this has come twice.
and now for the past 10 minutes or so, i am stuck at this screen.
how long is this supposed to take ??

Hi O2-lover,
sorry for that late answer, but I'ven't got the time to look for this thread. I'm using a Orbit 2 too. All I've done was to use default-polaris.txt. I only got in trouble when I tried to install it on SD-Card (I think this is one option). Later I created 2 ext2 (each 256mb) patitions and one swap partition. On installation I choose to install it on ext2 (both, system and data).
From now, I think my data partition is not used, but I'll sneak around at weekend, maybe to install it on NAND.

thank you for the reply. after a number of tries, i finally got android installed. but it does have a big disadvantage. sometime or the other you are bound to have to switch your phone off for some reason. or you may forget to recharge the battery on time. well, when you switch it on, it goes back to windows.
SO UNLESS YOU ARE ABLE TO FLASH ANDROID ROM, it is not going to be a long time fun.
i am now going to try and get win 6.5. i have already upgraded to 6.1 from 6.0

I have tried both Incubus26jc's Super Froyo (RLS8) and VaniljEclair RLS7c . I manage to install them in sd card (I want to use them via haret.exe) but when I reach the welcome screen where I have to touch the android to continue, the screen does not respond ( D-pad and center button work). Could someone help me? I decided to open a new thread because of what I have searched, I found only one member with a similar (but not the same) problem
The installation method I follow is this (mostly copied from a SuperJMN's post):
1º Run HaRET
2º From the installer, select Install System
3º Choose install update (if any)
4º Choose to fix permissions (if there had been an update)
5º Reset (don't select "Quit", just reset, this is to avoid problems)
6º Wait for Windows Mobile to start and run HaRET again.
Although I am flashing to nand and you are using haret/zimage, we may have the same problem with the unified touch screen driver that DZO implemented around 16 June. Is there is a way to use the kernel .nbh and system .tar with haret, rather than zimage? If so, you might try using an older kernel from before 16 June ... or perhaps an older zimage.
I have similar problem, if not the exactly the same. Using an older kernel seems to be a workaround of this problem. hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7041656&postcount=21 (You need to fix the hxxp as appropriate as I am not allowed to link URL yet)
i have the similar problem too, havent fixed it :/
I tried zImage-12-06-10 (the last one before the 16th of June) and installation procedure did not even start. But zImage-29-04-10 worked for me. However, Froyo is not that fast. If I change any files (zImage or something else) is it possible to have a speed improvement?
Same problems.
All Android realeases work on my pola100 only with zImage 29.04.10.
No work with other kernel.
I suggest to developers to analyse 29.04.10 and try to understand WHY this works and others no.
Regards.

PLEASE STOP POSTING IN THIS TOPIC ABOUT "THIS PART DOESN'T WORK ECC ECC" WRITE IN THE TOPIC OF THE RELEASE (KERNEL OR SYSTEM), PLEASE LOOK IN THIS THREAD FOR WORKING SETUPS AND TRICKS, AND SEARCH ON THE FORUM BEFORE POSTING!
I start with thread with a information for all users:
Haret system sucks so if you want a full working android system left windows behind you and move to the new android world flash on nand.
With this how-to you will not erase any part of your system but you do at your own risk.
Main problem: screen
For polaris there are 3 type of screen. Usually pola100 (the old one) use panel 1, and pola 200 (09 edition) has panel 3 but ... not always works...
The best mode to test is try to install and after double reboot you have black screen change panel type.
What you need:
phone
sd card (1 Gb or more) 500 mb free
time

Do we have to delete/remove the install-seq.sh after installation?
Are both files (system & data) cleared with the installation script?
Thanks for the help.
install-seq.sh disable automatically after correct install.
This how-to is fir first install on disk on images so it format both data an system.
If you want to make only un update use bsg select partion and select update.

nothing work well
and what about the contacts..how can i get them from my Sim card?
i don't know..
if you can help me will be great.
thx allot for yours assistance.
best regards.
The information from sim card are very limitated (neither pin code works) so if you want to export contact sync before starting with google and configur your google account on android.
old zimage are full of bugs and all developers install android on nand so starting android from haret has many unfixed bugs.
I've been playing around with the haret install for a week or so now, and I've found that, for me at least, it makes a huge difference which initrd.gz file I use.
The one dated 22-05-10 doesn't let me install any zImages newer than 29-04-10. After trying all sorts of combinations of base files with different dates (haret, zImage) and additions to the default.txt, changing the initrd.gz file to the one dated 20-02-10 fixed most of my problems and lets me install the most recent zImage files without a glitch.
No clue why, just that it works.
I'm running a Pola100 with the original WM6.0 ROM still on it, and radio version 1.58.25.14. Yeah, I need to upgrade to at least the official WM6.1 ROM and probably something better. But I'm a newbie at this, so I need to work up some courage first ;-)
hello,
I tried to install android on sd following your instructions, everything seems to go well until the screen where it says:
"Welcome to htc vogue Frøya
touch the android to begin "
I'll try, but the touch does not work, I tried using the d-pad, which does work, but I can only select the language and the emergency call.
zImage as I used: zImage-Frøya-15-07-10
androidinstall.tar as I used: Incubus26Jc's Super Frøya RLS11 Themed
please help me because I would switch to Android!

And you (thebeast20), You have now the WinMo (Windows Mobile OS) on HDD, and this Android on SD Card.
So you have two OS on Mobile and the Android won't effect or make problems for your main OS (WinMo).
And when you want to switch android to WinMo, just shutdown android and press power button to start WinMo. and again to start android go to explorer and tap on HaRET.
gps issue
In fact, there is one reported issue: after running android, the gps in WM may not always work. Solution is available: see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11515143&postcount=169
Some people have reported a freeze while "Loading Linux" in HaRET.
Have a look here. This maybe a sd card issue and could help you.
thanks to devs that help others who face problem.I have a question that refer to dualboot and microphone,when the dualboot and microphone fixed?maybe it is not proper time,but I want know whether the developing of android on mini will stop in a few days?I need someone confirm it,thanks.

work : everything except camera !!!! very smooth and very reliable(no missed call for 1 week, that's a revolution) and not so bad battery life
finally, development kernel seems to be not so far from "ready to production" status, with even better nand stability
we're waiting rom update and next krazykilla's kernel with polaris support, for a better stability and ability tu put data on ext4 partition
Thank you to scooter, liquid nr2jt and all androidhtccrew for their tuff work
Nand is not perfect and run corruption sometime that crash your setup : use the nand startup "backup/restore" data ability after you have configured your rom and favorite applications, to avoid loss of everything : it will create a 256Mb image of nand memory in your SD card /andboot directory that you can restore later in case of crash.
you can increment this backup later if you are happy with future modification of your rom
TIPS : noticed that setup as it is is good enough, people at cyanogenmod know their business
- Tip 1 : in atool, you can try to increase advanced battery capacity to improve accuracy because N2jrt has noticed battery calculation is not good and there's a correction factor of 1.6 to apply (i put 1900 but you can increase to 2200 in theory)
- Tip 2 : you can download Roguetool from the market to overclock your phone
- Tip 3 : try the app named killerauto from the market, it does a very good job with very comprehensive settings to free your ram in real time (and increase battery life)
- Tip 4 : In cynogenmod parameters/performance : check the "keep home in memory option" and activate compcache (10%) to get better result - i don't activate JIT
- Tip 5 : i've noticed that's the battery widget is cause of some trouble sometime, you can get rid of it in this case
what's next
- make polaris' atool development kernel compatible with release 6 : thx to scooter and liquid by advance
- Make crazykilla kernel with ext4 support available for polaris (release from his #54 thread doesn't work for me) or maybe unified every kernel to get the best one
crazykilla's kernel is a usual kernel without the polaris support compiled, i don't know why the #54 version don't work and i can't test it anymore (my polaris has a toasted nand).

maybe i missed something
Blinking screen
I've tried it with my XDA Orbit II and all I get is the white blinking screen after running haret. It's written in the man that it takes a lot of time, so I left it and went to sleep When I woke up, the screen was still blinking the same way and had to remove the battery to reboot. WM booted fine, there were files system.img and data.img created on the microsdcard of the size of 300mb (I don't want to flash it on NAND as it is my first attempt to install new software on phone). I tried Froyo, now trying Eclair and after an hour it looks the same. What might be wrong? Should I try stable kernel or other setups?

i don't know such setup sorry, i work on nand only to get real speed
I don't want to try flashing on NAND until I find a setup that would satisfy me and work well as I would in practice lose the phone for some time while trying to make it work. So far I've succesfully installed this, but I can't make the PIN code work. I tried to disable it in WM in phone settings, but when I do it, it requires me to enter the PIN, and doesn't accept it, just as Android does :/ Does the PIN code problem occurs in NAND installation as well?
this setup is really not ready. i tried so many times and it always hangs and at the end you'd be reinstalling the system back. I'm sticking back to the Not-So-Super-Froyo setup and has since found it to be very very stable although no camera and no GPS working on it. Just a bit of tip to all those who try and occasionally reinstall, after you have found a good stable setup, install your basic favorite apps and games, then get reboot the phone, access the Android Boot Menu and choose Backup Data on the choices. The system will save your stable setup on an image file on your sdcard. So anytime you have a system crash, you can just choose to Restore Data from the Boot Menu. Saves you a lot of installation.

yes if i remember well my past haret experience, i had to deactivate PIN in WM to make android work

what kernel do you use ? i use liquid's 2.6.25 + kernel update
I finally follow your advise and came back to "not so super" and begin to use the "backup data" function...
The best setup so far
I've tried deactivating in WM, but that doesn't work as I've written above. I also tried to disable PIN using my friend's LG AT&T and it didn't work either so I guess I have to try some PC software or go to my service provider and ask them to do it. Thanks for replies.

lol i've read about the 2.6.25 working camera several times yet i chose to follow the blunt idea that "everything current is best ever" setup.
Anyway ill follow your advise now hehe and finally will have a working camera back again. anyway we have a backup hehe. Thanks man!!!
by the way, i liked your post title a lot haha.

yeah that's why i try other roms today (i'm in a rom rush ) to see if situation is better with backup trick
i saw the great nr2jt say in a topic that he save is data every morning to prevent its loss
that's why i give another try with scoot 5.5 with liquid's 2.6.32
Hey liquid do something for us to use 6 release
post 1 updated
After numerous builds+kernels, loads of frustration (and the inevitable revert to wm for a while) I think I like this setup. Simplicity at its best, Scoot CyanogenMod (RLS5.5) and latest 2.6.32 from atools as per 1st post. Just re-purposed the camera button as 'home'. Even my headset works, albeit intermittently.
Which settings for ATools for pola200?
Hi,
i tried to install this rom on my german pola200. But on the Linux Bootscreen the text is scrolling down and sayes that it installs the rom. But than it scrolls down error messages.
I tried this for houres but it shows no final error or something. The Text is scrolling on and on.
So i think that i used the wrong settings in atool. I used this tutorial to set up atool: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand
What settings should been used?:
- What version to select?: Donut, Eclair or Froyo?
- Best settings for sd-card-partition? I used first partition 3 gb fat32, second partition 1 gb ext2.
- where should i install system and data? Both on second sd-partition? Or should there be a third partition? (the first time i tried to install the system on intern memory but install runs out of space)
Can you please explain the right settings in atool?
best version is froyo.
to choose sd-card partition, you must have your sdcard PREPARED beforehand. Atool does not partition your sdcard for you. As of what to use to partition your sdcard you can search it at google. (im sorry im a little bit short on time now). choose NAND on both system and DATA.
atools has sd partioner inside so you can repart sd card (boot script editor Y), but the sdcard must have only one partition on it (fat32).
i stand corrected thanks l1qu1d.
