[Q] Installing Android Rhodium on Windows HTC TP2 - errors - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I have an HTC Touch Pro2
ROM: 1.86.161.0 (67102) WWE
CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200
Running WINDOWS 6.?
I want to install Android, so have downloaded and tried to install 3 different *.cab versions. Each failes. The one I am persivering with is Rhodium and as I am in the UK and use Vodafone I have seected rhod100_uk
When I run it, it gets to the enter PIN screen, then the first errors occure. It will not let me enter the PIN until I have slid open the keyboard and then slid it back again. Once in I get errors come up, namely it says that either media has failed or Android... I select OK, and it comes back again. There seem to be no functions and I get a message saying the battery is empty.
I then decided to do an update, in the hope that may fix any bad files.
Now it opens only as far as the Enter PIN screen, when after a few seconds the phone vibrates and enters in to a restart.
Can anyone help me, please.

Bt Htc S710 Original Rom

Hello forum members,
would you please help me have the BT HTC S710 Original ROM? I have only seen the BT HTC S620, which when I tried to flash with to rebrand, blanked my HTC S710 screen. When I turn it on, only the two green lights come on either side of the phone ear piece.
It means that a hard reset is not visible on my screen, there is no tri-colour display either.
I have tried other ROMS, and get invalid id errors and error 270. I have tried Dr Gonzo and related ROMS.
It's now three days, no phone no pim, I am lost.
Thanks for your attention.
YOSEFE.
PS. You may PM me if convenient.
Hi YOSEFE,
I have the same problem
I tried the 620 rom and just have the 2 green LED's. I cannot get a bootloader screen and attempts to flash new roms get to 3% and then I get errors.
Did you ever sort this problem out?
Paul.
Have you unlocked ur USPL in ur phone?
You tried to flash a S620 ROM to a S710???? Look in the Wiki, there is a link to the official ROMs on the ftp...

Yes, I'm afraid I did, by mistake, flash 620 ROM to the 710 [feels rather stupid!]
Not happy with BT’s [mobile operator] own ROM and software that went on the phone, I successfully flashed Dr. Martin Gonzo’s Windows Mobile 6.1 v1.1 and have been using it for a couple of months but when BT launched their new phone software, I decided to try it but because it won’t work with WM 6.1, I needed to then revert back to BT’s old ROM and this was the only one available that I could find [feels rather stupid again].
The screen is completely black; only green LED's on each side of the earpiece shows any sign of life.
Connecting the phone via ActiveSync shows “HTC-S620 Connected” and I am able to browse the files on the phone but not having a display on the phone, I am limited to what I can do.
I have tried running RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.exe but ActiveSync connection is lost and I hear the Windows hardware removed sound shortly after the progress bar is shown.
I’m at a loss as to what to try
Paul.
Shut it down, then hold down camera button and plug in the usb cable. The boot screen should appear and you should be able to flash the normal ROM!
I cannot get the boot screen, or any screen for that matter.
I have tried taking the battery out to make sure the phone is off. Reinserting that battery then holding the camera button down and then inserting the usb lead. The keypad lights up for a few seconds then goes out. ActiveSync then connects but the screen is still black
Paul.
[Edited: Sorry duplicate post]
Sorry for replying to my own post but a quick update...
I have managed to bring the phone back to life and reinstall Dr. Martin Gonzo’s Windows Mobile 6.1 v1.1 on it again.
This is partly assumption and not particularly accurate but the original poster (YOSEFE) might find this useful.
By installing the S620 rom on the S710, not only did I make the screen go blank, I think all the keys ended up remapped and mixed up, therefore any attempt to install Gonzo’s rom ultimately ended in failure because when the phone beeped and wanted a keypress to continue, pressing the left softkey for ‘OK’ or ‘Yes’ did not work because it had been remapped to do something else.
What worked for me is that when the phone beeped during the uspl_116_jockyw.bat install, I pressed the X or C key (I can’t remember the exact one now). One of these keys must have been the ‘OK’ or ‘Yes’ key after the S620 rom muddled things up. I only know this by trial and error over the period of today.
To my glee, the backlight lit up on the display and after a bit of tinkering, I’m back in action again
I won’t be installing a rom designed for another model again!
Paul.
Bat 'n' Ball,
sorry for not returning here to see your post. I will remember the possibility of pressing "X" or "C", should I make the same mistake as before, although like you, I should never do that ever again. However, technology being what it is, who knows?
In the end BT got me sorted out.
Thanks for sharing.

Strange Problem - hack suggestions? Need help while backpacking w/ no PC.

So I'm backpacking around Europe and decided to go without a PC and wouldn't you know it.... My phone is screwed up.
The problem is that I was using TomTom the other night in Norway and I think I either waterlogged the screen or maybe a driver failed in SW. I have been having problems with a certain software combo on top of PDAUltimate and have had to 'reset' the OS because it got painfully slow.
So my question is about if there is a way to reflash the guy or get it to run the 'reset' process where it reinstalls the OS and clears it without a screen (only keyboard) and while it is locked?
See the screen died but I could still run most apps with just the keys at the bottom. However one of them runs the 'Lock' command on the home screen and that's the one I hit. ;( I could unlock it if I could slide the bar but the screen is not working so I can't do that.
Question #2. Is there a way to work the unlock slider from the buttons?
If I could get back to the start menu then I could run the system reset command there.
I did think about getting the files onto a SIM and use the Hard SPL to reflash so that is my long term solution but for now I have no PC.

Do a master rest. Hold in the 2 softkeys and use stylus to push reset button. It will reload OS from begining. remember to pull SD and sim cards
Well it all depends if your ROM had screen alignment and stuff on cold boot or not! If it doesnt, then you are good to go, if not, you have to use the screen.
Disable auto lock for #2
I had the same issue with sat nav and pda ultimate, hard reset didn't fix, the only solution is to flash another rom, i have had this issue with the 3 latest PDA roms with igo and tom tom.

Yota 4G max screen locked

Need help please!
Yota 4G max – Chinese copy. I bought the mobile two weeks ago and was working fine, running Windows mobile 6.5 Professional. I set up locking on keys when phone is idle not in use to be locked, when I want to unlock I just slide and type in the password. Then I decided to install stupidly most of the software that was provided on the disk (Chinese stuff) and restarted the phone. It came up to the slide button where I use to be able to slide and provide the password to go into windows. But I was not able to do slide and type in password (the touch screen was not responding) so I am not able to go into windows, while installing something must have corrupted some files? After few tries now it comes up with a screen saying - Several incorrect passwords have been entered. To continue entry, enter ‘a1b2c3’ but I am not able to press on the keys on the screen keyboard since the whole screen is locked. Can anyone please, please tell me if there is a way to overcome this problem? It will be appreciated & thank you in advance.

Endless alignment loop on Touch Pro

Hi all,
I bought a second hand Raphael on eBay. The previous owner said he flashed WinMo 6.5 and a HardSPL. Something seems to have gone wrong somewhere, because WinMo starts up and shows the welcome screen and then the touchscreen alignment dialogue over and over. As soon as I touch all five points, the alignment process starts again.
I have already re-flashed WinMo 6.5 an 6.1 with the same results. I have also added a WELCOME.NOT file and tried a soft reset. The file just disappears after the reboot.
The boot loader says as version numbers:
R 1.14.25.05
R 52.63.25.34u
D 5.00.00.00
I'd be glad for any pointers. Maybe a pre-calibrated rom?
Also, I actually want to run Android on the little fellow. Could I just try to flash LightNHB and run Android from there?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Kevin
That's not the bootloader screen numbers, but I don't think that's the problem. It may just be a crappy rom on there. Getting to the alignment screen is a good sign that the device isn't bricked. I would say just flash another rom; use one of the android-starter roms if that's what you want on there.
Thanks for the answer, unfortunately it seems the touch screen is broken
I managed to install Android using LightNHB, worked a treat. Androids calibration screen seemed to take all five poinst, but the coordinates it printed out where all on the same y-coordinate. The touch screen doesn't work in Android after that (I mean, how could it ).
I'll have a look around to see if I can buy a new screen for cheap.

Work android HTC Cruise (Polaris) after changing the display to the Chinese!

People, I've tried a bunch of assemblies and options for your phone after the display is changed to the Chinese and found that only 3 boot penguin display and inscriptions at boot true test, with those two idit load equally, and one with the other inscriptions but also hangs. These feeders: 1) polaimg-panel3-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-06-09-10_22 2) polaimg-panel3-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-09-10_21 3) polaimg-panel3- 240x320-2.6.32-froyo-27-08-10_23.
All three normally pick up the screen but the writing bug usb_vsync.
Founded on the Internet has the very first assembly androyda, who works in the demo rezhime.Reshil try to install it and wonder, android has started without any problems.
Here is a link to the installation package that will install this demo on your phone: hxtps://rapidshare.com/#!download|304l34|123389441|RUU_Polaris_Android_DEMO_v1_0.exe|72394|R~EC5F7C5EBDDD628BF8BFF91F71607033|0|0
Those who say they say android does not support Chinese screens, just a lie or do not know. At this assembly it is clear that androyd runs perfectly, and on the phones with a Chinese screen.
Most likely, DZO, or what the other developer of the kernel is not corrected. Suggest to write a petition to save money and to develop a normal boot. Let's say it can do the same DZO or what the other developer. I do not think it would be very difficult and time consuming. Who can help me in this, please come forward!
But there's more, I decided to try to run through the HARET andriod 1.5 on the same firmware WM and you think, android has started well!!
At the moment, try to build a working version of Ecler, I do not know whether I can or not but the fact that at least 1.5 works already happy!
That it happened. All the same I managed to run Android on my devayse 2.1-2.2. Of course there are problemma, and a large - is not responsible for nozhatie touch screen, but the fact that he obsalyutno normally displays everything on the screen is great plshyusom and proves once again that all the matter in the loader, which local craftsmen or they can not fix! !
Below we will explain how to start. If you do not get something right the first time, try again, I got yed)
1) Download the assembly android_by_polyrhythmic-beta3.zip (Look on the internet, I think problemma not be found)
2) Download the assembly polymod.rar.
3) Unpack android_by_polyrhythmic-beta3.zip and copy the folder on the SD android.
In the folder are 2 files android default and default-s, files and zImage-15-12-09 and zImage3. The file default by one run android in Haret changing the panel on 1,2,3. Each time you start when you have to wait for the LED zamegaet either blue, green or yellow, and goes off the screen. This would mean that the android booted and shut off the screen. After clicking on a retreat or off you will see a white screen.
After running all three panels so turn off your phone zaydmite to stick and move to folder android Fail of the default-polaris zborki polymod and change it to default. Replace the old Fail them, and then rename the zImage-15-12-09 in just a zImage. Now run the android. Wait until you have a light starts blinking LED goes off and the screen. As it happens, click on the rebound a few times. You will see a line of code and then the welcome screen android. Since the touch screen is not working I could not go further, but pressing the buttons can be issued to the soglashatsya message.
Here vprintsype all.
Try it. The point I was told, then I welcome your ideas and results!
