Any guide to run Andriod in POLA100??

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

no, if you start android from haret.exe, it will not erase anything.

it will not erase your sd card either, however you might want to backup your data first just in case something does not go well.

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??

[HACK] PsGroove for Nexus One

link dead.. antiquated

Has anyone tried this? Netzke has been working on an android version, but there have been bugs, etc.

Confirmed working, backing up a game as i type. Had to download manager.pkg to install back up manager on ps3

How do you install the back up manager??

I placed the pkg file in /sdcard and then connected the phone to the ps3, make card readable, go to Install pakages then press triangel and X. The Install pakage manager will scan for pkg`s to install.
Hope you understand

Lol I had forgot to format my hardrive to fat32. This was the reason why the install didnt work.

How to run downloaded PS3 games from external HDD?

Hmm, i can't get the back up game tio boot.
Sent from my Nexus One

I was not able to run backup games either. then i looked aroud and came across of a ps3-hacks site and found out the psfreedom.ko file wasnt good since i downloaded a different one and got it to work once i used that psfreedom.ko file. so look for the right ko file in a certain ps3-hacks dot com website and you should be able to backup and play... note there is a tool out there to covert iso to folders for external devices but you need to decrypt the eboot.bin file before what you have here will work... and yes this does work and it is pretty sweet...

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!

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.

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.

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.

[APP] Android Loader v1.0 for HD Mini (Dual Boot Option and Start Menu Icon)

I was asked to port my Android Loader for the HD2 so that the HD Mini users could have the same benefits of automating the boot process. The result is this thread and I hope you can benefit from my work.
**PLEASE READ ALL THIS POST BEFORE DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THE APP TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS**
**IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS PLEASE READ POST2 *HERE* BEFORE POSTING YOUR PROBLEM IN THE THREAD**
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
This Android Loader will allow you to do a few things. Firstly you can start Android easily once you are already in Windows. It comes with a cool looking icon in the Start Menu and you can add it to Sense or Mobile Shell or whatever you use as your day to day interface.
INSTALL THIS APP TO DEVICE MEMORY!! DO NOT INSTALL TO STORAGE CARD OR YOU MAY HAVE PROBLEMS!!
After installation you will be asked if you want a dual boot option after you start your phone. If you do then you can set your default Operating System (Android or Windows Mobile), then you will be asked for an AutoBoot timeout (3, 5, 10, 20, 30 or 60 seconds). You will then be asked which Icons you want to be displayed in the Start Menu (Android and Android AFTER a Soft Reset with no prompts). The 'Android with Soft Reset' icon will allow you to boot cleanly into Android straight after Windows Mobile finishes loading if you dont want a Dual Boot option.
Lastly you will be asked to select the Path where your Android files have been copied to. At the moment your Android files are copied to the ROOT of the 'STORAGE CARD' and this is what should be selected, unless they are moved in future Development updates of Android.
If you set up a Dual Boot option then after a soft reset of your phone, as soon as WindowsMobile loads up you will be prompted to choose what you want to boot into. If you make no selection then your default Operating System will be Auto loaded after the time out.
Last but by no means least there is a folder in the Start Menu called 'Android Loader' which holds a Manager app. With this app you can change any of the default settings. There are also 2 switches in this Start Menu Folder. Fast Mode will load Android as soon as the icon is clicked, Safe Mode will always ask for confirmation when the icon is clicked to avoid accidental loading.
When Android loader runs it will run Haret_Photon7227.exe after a 1 second delay which will start Android.
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
This app should work with ANY language Rom as a script searches for the correct name of the Storage Card when it is first run. If there are any problems with non WWE Roms then please let me know.
DONT ASK IN THIS THREAD ABOUT QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS WITH ANDROID. THIS IS TO BE KEPT JUST ABOUT THE ANDROID LOADER.
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Cab Useage:
1. Make sure you have your desired build of Android copied across to your Storage Card BEFORE installing this app.
2. INSTALL THE CAB TO DEVICE MEMORY (IN WINDOWS MOBILE)!! DO NOT INSTALL TO STORAGE CARD!!
3. You will now be asked if you want a prompt everytime you start WindowsMobile to run Android or continue to Windows. This is your Autoboot setting. If you select No then you wont get a prompt after WindowsMobile boots up.
4. You will now be asked which Android links you want displayed in the Start Menu (Android, Android with Soft Reset or Both).
5. You will now be asked select the folder where your Android files are copied to. THIS SHOULD BE SET TO STORAGE CARD (WITH NO SUB FOLDER)!! You only have to do this once, it will remember the settings until you uninstall the program.
NOTE: If your icons dont change in HTC Sense after upgrading the cab then install and run SICC (Sense Icon Cache Clearer) *HERE* and your new icon will be shown after a soft reset.
--------------------------------------

I made this as a favour to the HD Mini Community. If you find it useful you do not have to donate if you dont wish to but please hit the THANKS Button to show your appreciation.
Enjoy

Problem Solving
To check your Settings you must have a Registry Editor installed on your Phone (free ones can be googled):
Browse to HKLM, Software, MSkipAndroidLoader
Check all the Sub Folders are set correctly
- AndroidFolder: Should be set to \Storage Card (or equivalent for your language),
- AutoTimeout: Duration til AutoBoot (in Seconds),
- BootupOS: Android or WindowsMobile,
- Mode: Fast or Safe,
- StartupOption: Yes or No
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Android isn't loading:
Did you copy your Android files to the root of the Storage Card first? Yes
Did you install this app to DEVICE Memory? Yes. Are you Sure? YES.. Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE?? Ok maybe I installed it to Storage Card..
This App must be installed to DEVICE MEMORY or it could have problems. Uninstall the Loader from Start, Settings, System, Remove Programs and reinstall to DEVICE MEMORY.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
I Installed to Storage Card by mistake and now it wont uninstall:
In your File Manager browse to Device, Program Files and Delete the MSkip Android Tools folder
Next using a Registry Editor browse to HKLM, Software and Delete the MSkipAndroidLoader folder
Lastly try reinstalling the Cab to DEVICE MEMORY (it should let you now)
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
If you have read through this and still have problems then post your problem in the thread and you will be helped

problem continues, also while trying to start from the start menu (android softreset), settings from folder do work..

Problem here. i install it and it works, but not from the start. I have choose android as default operation system, but it always starts up first windows mobile, and then nothing happends. I mus then click on the android icon and then android started. is this correct?

So you have Android set as the default on boot up? Does it say Android is set as default when the screen pops up? What time out do you have set? Which folder do you have set?
Do you have a registry editor app on your phone so you can check some settings for me?
Mark.

Please give us more details as it is doubtful your issue is related to this Android Loader v1.0 cab. For example, is it the same result if you manually select Haret_Photon7227.exe from SDCard and start Android? Is it the same issue if you boot into Windows Mobile?
If you have only just installed Android to your HD Mini, perhaps you use the manual method for a few times so there are no booting issues. Without knowing the full details it could simply be that your files zImage, initrd.gz, system.ext2, STARTUP.TXT, HARET_PHOTON7227.exe and the update directory are NOT installed in your SDCard root directory ie. (SDCard\)

i never have problem to boot Haret from sdcard before this... my hd mini working just fine in android... i been try not to make its in sleep mode, but my phone is not stop loading even after 2hour.. its look like my phone be very2 slowly...

This is unusual as Android Loader v1.0 cab does not change the ROM bootloader. it merely automates the process of having to go into the SDCard then selecting Haret_Photon7227.exe. Maybe you could try the solution that -rObin- applied in post #13 and that is to make sure that Android Loader v1.0 setting is physically selected as the sdcard\ ie. Storage Card root. To change this you need to go into the windows mobile start menu folder called Android Loader (as explained in post #1) then select the Manager application to change the default directory to "Storage Card" then press OK.
Otherwise if this still does not fix things, please uninstall Android Loader v1.0 cab so the associated Android Loader v1.0 cab HKLM settings can be removed as well as the software, then try manually selecting Haret_Photon7227.exe from \SDCard directory and start Android. Is the result the same?

Thnx for the app, sounds great!
Installation works perfect. I just got a non-signed error af
ter reboot (testing the boot menu) but guess that I will have better luck next boot.
-- edit --
problem continues, also while trying to start from the start menu (android softreset), settings from folder do work..

Problem is most likely that I did not read the instructions and installed the app on SD. Uninstallation does unfortunately not work (hangs) and reinstallation is therefore impossible..

try uninstalll from ActiveSync on windows, maybe it would work better?

[ROOTING], Rooting HTC EXPLORER (A310e/PICO)

SOrry Guys Forgot 2 mention earlier. I moved To Xperia Mini Pro, So any1 else can take over and help PPL here taking hell outta there explorer
How to:
1. Download the files - "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" , "BCM4330.KO" "superuser" from Below link,
"Superuser.zip" - http://www.4shared.com/file/KalrHXNj/Superuser.html
"Bcm4330.ko" - http://www.4shared.com/file/GbW0ZtaT/bcm4330.html
"HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" - http://www.4shared.com/zip/920-kXYc/HTC_Pico_RecoveryBoot_with_ext.html
2. Extract "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" somewhere. say: desktop or some drive, copy "BCM4330.ko" onto ur adb "Tools" folder. Copy superuser.zip to ur Sdcard.
3. connect ur "Htc explorer(Pico) via USB" and open "recovery.bat from the folder u just extracted.
4. Wait relax, and watch ur device getting new underGarments. now as the time pass the "command Prompt" which just opened after opening "recovery.bat'' will show "adb reboot recovery" as the device boots to recovery, u will given new menu with blue fonts.
5. Now in recovery go to "Mount & Storage" and select "mount /system" with device connect via USB
6. I presume u have adb already setup on ur pc/laptop. Open "CMD" and type.
HTML:
adb shell mv -f /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.bak
adb push /full/path/to/bcm4330.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko
7. Now, select "unmount /system" from recovery menu (from where u earlier mounted /system)
8. select "goback" from below. now go to "install zip from SDcard. and and slect first open (which says choose zip from sdcard, or somthing like this). find the "superuser.zip" which u copied to ur sdcard and flash by selecting it.
9. Now if flashing goes smooth and it says "install zip from sd complete" then reboot ur device and enjoy.
For getting more space on ur device, download "link2sd"
For link2sd to work, i have attached tutorial for this (which i found by googleing) in Jpeg format (picture)
after getting link2sd to work , u can link the apps to sdcard and save more on device.
there is another option for getting more space on device.
Just download "terminal emulator" from market. pls note: u need to be rooted for this.
and give su permission to the app when prompted.
just enter
HTML:
su
pm setInstallLocation 2
now u will be taken to the next line and thats all
all ur apps will be installed to sdcard automatically. please note: when installing widgets, pls move them back to ur phone memory as they dont work on sdcard
Suggestion: You can pm me if you have some confusions or facing some problems rather than going some where else. I am always happy to help and there for the android community

Hey jitin02,
Thanks a lot for the post... But here are some changes I had to do to root my phone.
a. To install recovery:
The bat file kept waiting for the device infinitely. I just manually ran the two fastboot commands and the reboot command to setup recovery.
b. Copying superuser files:
Your method of extracting the zip file and then pushing them over to the /system directory will surely not work on windows systems, especially FAT32 file system computer, su file will not have executable rights when its copied into the dir.
right way is
copy superuser.zip to sdcard
boot into recovery
choose install from a zip option and point to that zip
Thanks for the post!

WIFI error and solution!!
rooted the phone manually with .cmd and then installed .zip from sd card.
when rebooting no wifi connection (error) and then formated using recovery but it didnt reboot (supose i have no rom installed now =$) how can i install another one, is there any for explorer?

sorry i dont know this , may be google can help.
this method is only to root

Unfortunately I bricked mine too. Oddly everything was fine for a while. Until it starting giving a wi-fi error and after that I tried to fix it with a reset and after doesn't go any further than the HTC logo. Any thoughts in how to bypass this other than flashing a new rom? I kinda liked my stock and didn't backup.

Mine is locked and I tried a different network SIM and it worked fine. Can't guarantee for sure because I didn't tried before rooting.

sent ROM in PM
install it through recovery after wiping all cache and memory (recovery option)
everything works perfect, you have to install android market separatelly and reboot for it to work (at least me). Full reboot (untick the fast reboot from settings)
I am preparing a custom rom with preinstalled apps and without the chinese ones, i will be posting it soon.

I have a good news for HTC Explorer users'. My friend, he rooted it successfully. I'll post a translator tutorials about it for u all soon.

Only one at the moment in all the entire internet, it has preinstalled the "superuser" and a file browser (some more but not used as thay are not in english), but has the chinese version of the market so we have to install it separatelly.
Preparing another one

Here is Only ROM available YET!
www.megaupload.com/?d=3RC9EE9Z

The custom rom is ok so far... still I am kind of a noob. Or feel like one. Is there a way to install other languages to that rom, specially the systemlanguage? and how to customize the rom?
Sorry for asking dump questions
Just figred, after I installed Market, and try to install an app, crashes. telling me the process has endet unexpected. :-(
Should have stayed with my original... anyone has a backup of an original rom?

I didn't find any ROM but that one, managed to make android market work by rebooting the phone (full reboot, untick the fast reboot option)
dont know how to add new languaje (if possible)
to modify ROMs just eliminate the .apk you want from system/app inside the zip and add any you want, I just modified mine and added like 15 different apps (file explorer, Copilot, android market, music player, adobe flash...) and doesn't use any memory (just available ROM) you have around 50mb free . once you install it look for available memory left with programs like APPS2ROM (it doesn't work in our HTC but helps me see ROM memory left).
i am going to try now to add an app to ROM memory by just creating a .zip file with /system/app folders and the .APK in it, let see if it works

Yes I figured now, you have to reboot the phone. Works fine now. Already made a clean backup.
Ive seen a file which has many apps listed and SHA1 keys in it. hats why I am asking for howto cook your own rom. Let me know if it worked. Would be great if I could add and remove some stuff

I am afraid it doesn´t, ("Installation aborted" message in Recovery). I will look for a diferent way to do it, not as simple as making a .zip file with "system/app/**.apk"
You can still uninstall them from rom memory using apps like "rom uninstaller" in andoid market
EDIT: found a way around it , just add the .apk inside "/system/app" in the "superuser.zip" found in the first post
http://www.4shared.com/file/KalrHXNj/Superuser.html
you already have this app in your phone so there is no problem in reinstalling it everytime you like on top of it (it even is the "pro version" of superuser, not the one on the custom ROM)
everything perfect
just note that no ALL of the apps work perfectly in the ROM memory, some crashed when opening them and had to uninstall them using "rom uninstaller" and install them manually
(I found just 2 small ones)

Yes while experimenting I found rom uninstaller too. and I managed to get rid of Sense 3.5 and some other stuff.
I installed GO Launcher EX instead and it runs alo better and faster than Sense.
Even this is my first Droid, I love it. I will make some Screenshots of it as soon I am dne with work.
I thank XDA and all users for the great work. Now I need to figure out if there is a way to install more languages.
For all PMing me... Scroll up to find the ROM

Wifi Issue
Did anyone figure out why WiFi is not working?
We have not changed the kernel, so I don't understand the reason...

The funny thing is that it only affects the stock rom installed, I flashed the "superuser" after the custom rom and wifi works perfectly

Wifi
I guess the problem is with recovery.img that we flashed, if there is someone who has not touched it yet, can you take a backup of it?
