Android on HTC cruise How to?
Hi all,
I'm REALLY confused or misinfomed or whatever on how to run andoid from my sd card.
I tried some things from a website androidonhtc but only got up to a point.
Is there a simple how-to on how to run android on cruise and some links on where to donwload the appropriate files?
For example i have got the haret but i can't find anywhere to download androidinstaller.tar
Am I close or far from my goal?
I know i might ask a silly question but guys i'm really confused.
Thanks anyway in advance.
as for how-to in hxxp://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstall
after getting haretinstall.zip, you need a current kernel (zImage) from
- dzo = hxxp://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
or
- sourceforge = hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
------------------------
as for androidinstall.tar / .tgz you can get from
- vogue forum = hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=588
- kaiser forum = hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=602
- sourceforge = hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
PS: sorry for the hxxp link, I have no permission to post any link yet
Thank you very very very much for your help!
Congratulations mensa07. Although I already knew all this stuff from your link, it took me some time to figure them out because I did not know there was such a good guide for starters. Very usefull link. Thank you

well, it's no garbage, just required more explanation. let me try to make it simpler. this guide will use zImage-eclair and vaniljeclair, change it to suit your taste accordingly
- get haretinstall.zip from here
extract this file and get default-polaris.txt (rename as default.txt), zImage-eclair (rename as zImage), initrd.gz and haret.exe. put all these files into andboot folder in root of your sdcard. your sdcard will look like this:
/andboot/default.txt
/andboot/zImage
/andboot/initrd.gz
/andboot/haret.exe
- next you need to download vaniljeclair from here
extract the file and you will get androidinstall.tar, put this file along with those files on /andboot/
you should have those 5 files or you cannot boot android.
- select haret.exe to execute, press run, pay attention to the text rolling, when it asks you to hold button, hold volume button up, and you will be given installer menu. choose install and delete data. let the format and installer finish, then you will be given menu again. do not quit, just reset, and restart from haret (you will see that you have data.img, system.img and some other files). at this time let the installer do not interrupt, it took more than 5 minutes before android logo asks you to touch screen
- if there is problem during booting, post it here, let people here try to solve

BT and WIFI should work, there is vaniljeclair thread on this problem if something is not working.
as for contact I think you need google account to sync.
Hi,
Thank you for the guide. I actually follow it and encountered an error. When it asked for volume up or d-pad center, I did, then it prompted that it was waiting for something several times. So I soft-reset the phone and launch it again.
Then, after haret.exe is booting linux, I have got a strange screen with scramble text.
How can I put everything back in the previous state to reinstall it propely?
Thank you
More info....
Did you get to the install screen after pressing centerdpad?
If yes, did it install?
What was it waiting for? The error message can give a clue what is wrong.
i manage to get to ask to hold up the center d-pad then get into a installer menu..
currently i just cant get my wifi and bt work..
haven get connection to sign in to google account..
I have all five file on my SD card but when I click on haret on my Sd and hit run where it say defaukt.txt..I get a error saying " cannot open script file \storage card\andboot\default.txt" is im doing something wrong..thx
u got change the polaris default-polaris to default??

I've searched and searched to find a post that tells me straight to the point how to upgrade my MDA but I just can't find one.
I've got the XDA Developers FTP loaded up in FlashFXP but there seems to be a lot of empty folders on it.
Can someone please tell me if there is a guide on here of exactly what I need to do to upgrade the unit? I followed some advice to fix my Bluetooth problems on here and now my whole MDA has stopped functioning properly... the Today screen just shows all strange graphics etc but I still have the upper and lower menus.
If there is no guide, can someone please tell me what I need to do... my business relies on my MDA! :roll:

Well, there seems to be a very very very very very funny guy of girl who has deleted most of de maps of de the Magician. Again, very very funny, we're all lauging very loud. (or is it a manifacturer??? QTEK?, iMate? T-Mobile? Who's the bad guy?

Maybe there is a solution: someone else had the same problem (I think, he also had a corrupted Today screen), but after he chose a different picture in the today screen the problem is solved.
Not good about the files Whoever it is has just cost me an awful lot of money so I hope they feel great!
Screen issue is now solved thnks to the picture thing but my Bluetooth will not function at all now... was asking for me to turn flight mode off when it wasn't even on and now it doesn't work full stop.
ok this a small guide i made for a friend..... i'll post it here
ok first thing to do is get the ROM file.
second... after you download the file... extract the zip into any
place you want you will end up with an .exe file... right click on the
exe file and choose extract ( not you need winrar to do that) and
after you extract you will find a bunch of files one of them is named
ROMUpgradeUt.exe or (MaUpgradeUT.exe) replace this file with this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=4022
after you replace the above file, double click on it and it will start
upgrading ... the device will go into bootloader mode (black screen
with Serial 1 written in it) you will get the country error ID
((((DON'T PANIC)))) and DON'T REMOVE THE DEVICE FROM THE USB OR REST
THE DEVICE, just click Exit to finish. while the deice in the bootloader
mode click on the replaced file and run it again the upgrade process
should go fine................
i will try later to do the guide in a pdf format with pix and more detialed
Okay guys I'm new here too Since I want to get rid of the pink t-mobile stuff and upgrading to a ROM which provides me better camera quality I would like to try a newer ROM version.
But where to get the newest ROM from ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/ ? I see extened ROM's but I have been told an extended ROM is a kind of addition to a normal ROM. But where can I find the basic ROM. I've been told that O2 and Qtek roms are the best.
** PLEASE, READ THE GUIDE BEFORE FLASHING **
Flashing a device is a risky process, and you definitively have to know that your device might not boot correctly, or not boot at all. You must also notice that this method is being tested and some components of your Polaris will not working at the moment. Take into consideration that there are developers that are sharing all their work with us, but although they're really good at their job, they all have their lives. So, if something just doesn't work, please, be patient*
NAND Boot for Polaris! Made possible thanks to DZO!
This method will allow you to start Android without the need of Windows Mobile. It will just boot like if the device had a native Android OS installed onto it.
- You may see this guide really long, but it's because I tried to detail every step and I put lots of URLs to make the process easier for beginners It's not than difficult as it seems!
Step by step guide:
Needless to say that you need to have HardSPLed your device first!
1. CHOOSE YOUR ANDROID BUILD
You can install try to install any build from the Kaiser and Vogue forums. They should work for Polaris:
I personally recommend to start with Myn's Warm Donut Release 5.
You can choose it in two different screen resolutions
240x320 (my favorite) - http://download219.mediafire.com/t0lnxmijgEjg/1drm2jqwjzn/myn-WarmDonut-04-24-2010-240x320-110.zip
320x480 - http://download533.mediafire.com/ml1jxoyomIDg/miw2uzjjzjq/myn-WarmDonut-04-24-2010-320x480-160.zip
If you want more info, check its thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619980
Download the build. It may be a compressed file containing an androidinstall.tar.
Copy this androidinstall.tar under a folder named andboot at the top level of your SD Card. The file path should be /andboot/androidinstall.tar.
You're now ready to flash the OS loader.
2. -OPTIONAL, BUT RECOMMENDED. ERASE YOUR ROM.
To be sure that you won't have problems with the flashing, you should use a tool that executes the called Task 29 to clean the NAND memory in the device. This helps the flashing goes OK and minimizes the chance of a bad flash.*
Fortunately, there's such tool: It can be downloaded HERE (big thanks to leppa).
It's a hacked flashing tool. To make it work you will have to select a dummy .NBH file. Use the .NBH file you want, preferably a small one. You can use the one that you will download in step 3.
You it finishes the operation, your phone will NOT boot. Don't worry. This is normal. We will make it boot soon.
More info HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6227425#post6227425
3. FLASH THE ANDROID OS LOADER TO NAND
You will need a .NBH in order to boot from NAND. It's usually named polaimg-panel[x]-[resolution]-[date].nbh.
I personally recommend to flash of the .NBH files by DZO dated 07-May-2010. They are listed on his site: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
Choose one according to your paneltype and resolution. Your paneltype depends on its maker. You should try from 1 to 3 to see which one works for you.
Flash the .nbh file you downloaded with your prefered tool (I used CustomRUU.exe for Windows).
To flash your device you might have to put your Polaris in bootloader mode. To enter this mode you have to do the following:
Press and hold the camera button.
Press reset while you hold the camera button. Release it (the reset button).
Hold the camera button until the colored bars screen appears.
If it doesn't work, remove the battery, wait for some seconds, put it back and try again.
When the colored screen (Hard SPL) is shown, you are ready to flash it using the flashing application (CustomRUU.exe, for example).
4. INSTALL YOUR BUILD
When you're done flashing, your device will boot. You will now attempt to install your build using the file androidinstall.tar.
You'll see lots of text lines scrolling while it boots. Now, pay close attention to the next step.
The system will prompt you to press and hold the center button of the DPad (in the middle of the jog-wheel) to start the Android Installer. It's a message like "Press x to launch the installer". Don't forget to hold it until the installer is shown!
The installer will eventually start.
A list of options should appear (in text mode). Use the jog-wheel up and down to navigate. D-pad center to select.
Choose your installation options (I selected System on NAND, Data on NAND). Don't choose any other option unless you know what you're doing.
Install it! (if it ask you to wipe the data, select yes).
Wait for the installer to finish.
The menu should appear again.
5. INSTALL THE SPECIFIC UPDATES FOR POLARIS
Due to particularities in our devices, some hardware like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth won't work properly if you don't apply some updates first.
You will need a file an androidupdate.tar to apply to the just installed system.
You can download it HERE (thanks to l1q1d).
When applied, the installer will be shown again.
You now have to select Fix permissions to avoid problems.
Don't exit the installer: soft reset your Polaris instead.
YOU ARE DONE! Your Android system will boot after some minutes.
Things that should WORK:
Phone calls: incoming/outcoming
Texting (SMS)
Data connection (GPRS/3G)
Wi-Fi
GPS
Bluetooth
Things that DON'T WORK:
USB Storage Mode
USB debugging is unstable.
Tethering
Camera (in Eclair)
Headset
Bugs/Issues:
Sometimes Wi-Fi hangs while is being disabled and prevents the device from suspending correctly (it won't sleep and the screen will turn of every time you press a button).
Data connection goes down from time to time and it won't reconnect until you go to the Modem application, disconnect, connect again and wait it to connect.
Audio Input: faulty and unusable with most of applications that use it.

I'm trying now.. Sorry my english...
They state that it's valid also for HARET:
if you're doing it with haret, extract basefiles to your sd, plop the androidinstall.tar into the same folder, and boot, hold down volume up just like the nand people (but don't pick nand to store the files, it won't work)

I've tried with the specified basefiles and plemen's Android 2.1, but I had no luck.
I noticed that when I press run from HARET and the progress bar fills up, it vibrates two times. Then, it seems that the device is hung, but after 15 seconds (or more), it boots. However, I didn't complete the rootfs-less setup process. It complaints about this:
Unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno: 2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anyone?
Wait, does this mean its totally an Android ROM? If so, COOL!
haven't tried yet ^^
Did you take the last package on sourceforge for the Eclair 2.1 Build? The files on Mediafire was corrupted.
I think there is no speed improvement with this, it's "only" an easier way to install and upgrade the system.
This is NOT "totally an Android ROM".
i can't install with this method
is there a "how to" or forum thread somewhere cause i get
sh: 2: unknown operand
losetup: /dev/block/loop1: No such file or directory
Failed
Failed to reach system.img on SD Card
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
during setup it complains "cant create folder /system cause file already exist"
i put basefiles at the root of my sd card and the vogue .tar in a folder call /andboot
all taken from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/
I think that you must flash a nbh that only works in vogue yet. I try to flash but it stop at 33%. I think that we must wait.

Yeah, same problem. It's impossible to flash now with any package for Vogue or Kayser...
We have to wait for DZO's work to port .tar and . NBH for us...
Hi fellas:
I carried out research about the new boot up method, and it seems it will be compatible with our beloved Polaris. But it still needs some fine-tuning, first of all due to the fact that the new installer is started holding down VolUp, but this button isn't correctly recognized with the current bits.
In other words, we should wait before trying out this one. Vilord is aware of this issue.
Stay tuned!
Hi SuperJmn,
Of course I wait for ...
I look every day in the Vogue/Kaiser thread and hope we can to flash our Polaris next time.
Thanks.
Android should work much more faster after flashing... Can't wait to try this

Hey
I have pola100 with pcar latest non-3d, Im trying my luck to get android started but with the latest files (img, rootfs, zImage) I am not able to. tried hell lot of combinations.
can you suggest me which one would I use, I downloaded some from sourceforge!
but I read that the new rootfs is for nand....
please friends guide me to right downlaods and versions for a near perfect android installation
Thanks in advance....
Niranjan
Hi! The new method is not only for NAND, but also for SD booting. It has some incompatibilities, so it's working for Vogue for the moment (Vogue owners are a bit more lucky than us in terms of development).
We are waiting for @vilord, @DZO and other authorities to fix the appropriate files.
I will contact them right after I end up writing this
Updated information for NAND boot. Thanks DZO!
Can you give us some feedback? Does it run better, smoothier than before? Or nothing about that?
it work but this resolution is not userful for me. No more speed than haret method, wifi and camera not work, system freeze some times. Do you have this problems?
How to put device in bootloader
Hello,
I've installed Android on my POLA100 (NAND method). Until now it's working fine. When I tried to put my device in bootloader mode, after installing Android, surprise... the combination (camera button pressed + stylus reset) isn't working.
If you used this: Eclair build you should download this update too: update for qvga and put androidupdate.tar from this archive on the andboot folder on your sdcard near androidinstall.tar.
After installing the system like SuperJMN said you'll have to press the power button one more after system reboot and choose update... from the menu,then quit when the menu reappear.
WIFI,Camera,Bluetooth doesn't work on this build(the only one I've tested with this new method)
Thank you SuperJMN for posting this,I hope it will remain for a long time on the front page and many thanks to DZO,VILORD,JAMEZELLE,PLEMEN and all other guys for the hard work.
Polaris
Hi,
for polaris you push power button, and boot menu works(NAND and SD).
The issue is that Wifi is not working now.
I try several builds.
So it seems not depending on the system?

How to put device in bootloader
Solved it. I put my device in bootloader by pressing the camera button + stylus reset when Android loads. I don't know if it worked because I removed my SD card and on the screen appeared "Waiting for SD card" but in that moment I've reset the device in bootloader.
I have an ASUS P320.
During flashing a Windows 6.5 ROM, it went bad and now I am not able to boot the phone or do anything.
I have tried 2-3 ROMs to re-flash by putting them in my SD card, but every time it says "Read SD busy !"
I also tried to re-flash it using original 4.10 ROM from official ASUS website but here is where I get stuck up:
BTLR 3.1
Init SD Control
IPL: Insert SD Card
Start SD Init
Get MBR success
start find images
can't find galaxymini-ond.raw !
find 850_GAX_SD.bin !
can't find FLASH.BIN !
can't find GSM.BIN !
can't find EXT_ROM.NB0 !
valid package percentage: 100
Read SD busy !
No GSMFFS
Total 3 images in package
FLASH.BIN in package !
GSM.BIN in package !
EXT_ROM.NB0 in package !
after all these msgs I waited for too long, but nothing happens. I repeated this many times, but it stucks after this and I am not able to write any new ROM anyhow on my phone.
I am really really in big trouble as this is my only phone and I am really depressed. Plz can anyone just help me with how to proceed to write a new or any old ROM on my phone? I will be really thankful
Seriously noone has any clue or willing to help?
you will have to split the original rom !!! using this tool
then keep all split files in the root of memory card !!
plz tell me if it works

I kept the 850_GAX_SD_Enc ROM in the same folder as this tool and then run Split P320 ROM.exe
But P320binDEC.exe shows application error. I am running this under Windows XP. Please help me.
Ok I installed .Net Framework 2.0 and everything worked and the files were extracted.
Then I had put all files in root of SD card.
It shows:

I had the prob same as u.
What I did was installed 4.15 WWE than tried to upgrade to WM6.5 from 4.10ZHH WM6.1, and the errors came out.
I even had the paragraph saying
"This concludes the beta test of this
software release. Thank you very much for
your time and effort in helping make this a
great product for our customers.
To obtain a newer release or futher
information,please revisit the web site that
you used to obtain your current beta
release."--------then it got stuck and the only buttons that worked were the volume and reset buttons. And I thought its done that all I could do was to sell it.
But then I split the 850_GAX_SD_Enc.bin(which was from a different language 4.15 zip,referring above), the following came up:
850_gax_sd.bin
GSM.BIN
FLASH.BIN
EXT_ROM.NB0
and others, but I only copy these 4 into SD card cause they were the things that stated "can'"t find"' and I couldnt find galaxymini-ond and GSM.RAM.....and yes I did put 850_gax_sd.bin in instead of the capital one(accidentally!!!cus i thought they were the same, but apparently not...ANYWAY I DID!)
then i inserted the card, flash reset(volume down + reset) it,
it took quite a while to install(abt 10-15 mins)
like u said a pure white screen occurred and it frozen.
then I press the switch on button on top and restart the device...
the old version came up again with 4.15ZHH and WM 6.1 (green) and everything got back to default just like the very first day I bought it.
this is all i did, i think the different between us was that i used a different language of 4.15 and the 850_gax_sd.bin..... not very sure on yours but it worked on mine somehow... I'm not an expert on computer and programmes stuff, and i really cant tell if errors are still left in the device after what i did, so beware of this prob if you follow.

This is a small app I made to start Android / Linux at Windows Mobile boot.
Thanks to JMZtaylor and yozgatg for their dual-boots, I just got tired of clicking everytime I started my phone so made this.
I feel we are getting very close to a day to day usable version of Android! I already use it instead of windows mobile since about 6 days ago.
The .cab file installs the app to Program Files/DroidBoot. It also creates a reg entry to autostart the app which launches ClrCad.exe and HaRET.exe at boot if found. If HaRET.exe does not exist on Storage Card/ or in Storage Card/Android the app will exit and Windows Mobile will start as normal.
If you want to use WinMobile. Eject SD card before boot.
WARNING!! May cause Windows Mobile to become inaccessible if installed on a phone with only internal storage!

Did you try installing the .net framework?
Did you get an error message?
doesn't work for downloaded the framework still doesn't work
The download link doesnt work
can you upload it again?
Reuploaded on zshare.
To the people who say it doesnt work. Can you check in a registry editor if the value got added to init.
You are looking for:
Hkey_Local_Machine/init
And there should be a string value in there which says "Launch72" "Program Files/DroidBoot/Droidboot.exe" if its not there. That could be the problem.
Another idea is that it might not work on non WWE roms. Due to the storage card and or program files being named differently.
Why don't you just use the Energy ROM "Desire v5" from NRGZ its maybe way better than using an application, opinion

Then you should hardcode the file to that location and not use %programfiles% for installation of those files in the cab. The language of the rom doesn't mather anymore then.
Thanks for the idea, will implement it asap!
Edit: Part of my code in the app refers to /Storage Card/, when its trying to find haret. Any ideas to get around that?
Gav check http:--msdn.microsoft.com-en-us-library-aa446567.aspx#spfiles_topic_05 for your Storage Card location solution. Replace "-" with "/"
does this works for touch pro 2

Thanks to JMZtaylor and yozgatg for their dual-boots, I just got tired of clicking everytime I started my phone so made this.
I feel we are getting very close to a day to day usable version of Android! I already use it instead of windows mobile since about 6 days ago.
The .cab file installs the app to Program Files/DroidBoot. It also creates a reg entry to autostart the app which launches ClrCad.exe and HaRET.exe at boot if found. If HaRET.exe does not exist on Storage Card/ or in Storage Card/Android the app will exit and Windows Mobile will start as normal.
If you want to use WinMobile. Eject SD card before boot.
WARNING!! May cause Windows Mobile to become inaccessible if installed on a phone with only internal storage!

What about for us users with more than one android build on our sd card?? Is there a way for this application to ask which one we would like to boot??
Good idea nonetheless!!!
Ok..
It booted once, now when I try to reboot I get a message that says I need to unzip a ROOTFS file onto my SDcard. I have never done that before. I cant get it to boot anymore. Any help?
i have the same problem. now i installed the rom from beginning and will see what happends. i tell u later.
Edit: I had to Replace the android files in SD card and put it back from where i got them " downloaded ones " now it works again.
HELP

So, after some months of searching, discussing and asking questions on the forum,
i managed to set up a working build for my Pola 100.
Then, i thought.. why not share it with everyone?
So here we go my friends, for all of you, who get lost after reading thousands of posts, worry no more!
What i used;
1)Radio Rom: 1.59.42.15 ==>www.rapidspread.com/file.jsp?id=gaskogesur

7)Running mode: Haret ==> www.megaupload.com/?d=NY0SUTBH

Initrd and zImage files where downloaded via Atools (Liquid you rock!) so they can be also found at Sourceforge just needs a bit more searching!

Everything works for me, so i guess will work for you too!
Tested for about 2 months! (daily use)
Quick installation manual:
1) flash the radio rom to your phone (if you dont know how, quick search this forum)
2)Create a folder to your SD card named: andboot
3)Put all the files you downloaded from this post (except of the radio rom) into the folder
4)Open file explorer on your phone, run haret, click run!
Have fun!!!

Pola 100 NAND Mode
NAND MODE for POLA 100.
Android OS: Incubus26Jc_'s Super FroYo RLS16 All Languages+updates EVERYTHING WORKING
What you need:
1) Hardspl (Search at this forum)
2) Androidinstall www.megaupload.com/?d=3W2OPLGU
3) Androidupdate www.megaupload.com/?d=ZTUL41GA
4) installation file www.megaupload.com/?d=IPPL94CD
5) Image file www.megaupload.com/?d=H4C1TN3Q
6) Update www.megaupload.com/?d=OR6S26PF
7) Radio Rom www.rapidspread.com/file.jsp?id=gaskogesur
The image file was downladed via Atools from Sourceforge and modified with Atools to work on Polaris.
Kernel version 2.6.32 Release Date 1-16-11
None of these is my work, i just got them together for an easy access
For anyone who doesnt know, i need to remind you that NAND MODE erases all of your phone's
data!!!! And it shouldnt be attempted by anyone who doesnt know atleast how to get his phone
to the previous state. Any damage caused by your ignorance on the subject is not my fault!!!!
Now that we have clarified that lets move one to a simple guide through.
1) Install Hardspl.If you dont have it, you CANT proceed but i guess most of you have it already
2) Preferably format your SD card and then create a folder in it named: andboot
3) Put inside the folder all the files except of the Image file and the update file.
And cause i am sure someone will get confused here, inside the folder there should be:
androidinstall, androidupdate, install-seq.sh
4) copy on the root of your SD the image file.
5) Open your phone and enter the bootloader (hold down camera button and press soft reset until you see it),
follow the instructions and soft reset at the end!
6) Wait, wait, wait, eventually the android will boot.
7) The tricky part! This build needs an update in order to work properly, if you dont apply it
the phone will work fine until you install any programm, then it will crash and will need a fresh flash.
8) Power off your phone, put in the andboot folder (SD card) the update file (no6 on the list).
9) Open your phone, and hold volume up, this will get you to the boot menu. Choose update!
10) Voila!!! Have fun again!!!!
First, there is already a thread like this
Second, if you link zImage, nbh, atools or other things already present in sourceforge or massey server link to them.
Third write the kernel version, kernel release data
"6) Wait, wait, wait"
How long have to wait +/-?

If you see the booting image, wich is a green thingy spinning,
you have to wait about 5+/- mins.
If you dont get there, pm me the problem and i will try to solve it for you.
After i did the soft reset, appeared that screen and the stops.

1st) its too blurry to understand what it says
2nd) a wild guess, but do you have Pola100?
cause from what i can see, the penguin doesnt have the color he should have
Yes, its a Pola100. LOL
Try now: http://i56.tinypic.com/1y3ebt.jpg
Did you use the files i give on this thread, or yours?
I used your files.
With the l1q1d's tutorial happens the same thing.
The problem is probably from my Polaris.
Ok, check your messages, try that solution, if it doesnt work, send me a message!
thank you makousika
I successfully installed Android on my old TouchCruise
sounds to me like there's a typo (a missing "d") in this part of your tuto
2) Preferably format your SD card and then create a folder in it named: anboot

I am glad i could help my friend!
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for noticing the typo!

His guide is pretty easy to use. I myself didn't use it since I have been here before atools was even around but I have read it before. Now the fact that over 1000 people have used his guide and your the only person to complain about it is laughable. I mean really, are you going to flame the biggest (formerly now, he got an iphone) kernel developers just because you got offended? What you are going to do is make yourself get laughed at instead. I am a developer myself and I can say that if I was l1q1d I sure as hell wouldn't bother helping you anymore after that.
Just saying that you really should watch what you say and to who.

I confess I'm a jerk ... so?
SO:
you, aceoyame, are too clever (more than l1q1d, for sure) to read carefully a jerk's topic!

The clever man doesn't flame.

Well I am clever enough to use proper English. Also, I laughed at L1q1d's comment when I read it. Like I said, you are the only one that got offended and actually even bothered to complain about it. Therefore my comments still stand.
Please my friends, lets keep the thread clean.

Are you sure that EVERYTHING IS WORKING !!!?? IS THE CAMERA OF YOUR PHONE WORKS????? There is a separate thread about this problem and as far as i know l1q1d doesn't have a solution about working camera with any android build installed on NAND!!!!!
Also you did not specify which Radio ROM version did you use for this FULLY WORKING INSTALLATION!!!???
Camera is not working since no developer has managed to get it to work on NAND.
I dont think its difficult to understand that.
Radio rom is 1.59.42.15 , if you click on the link i provide, you will see it by yourself.
