Hi!
Ive just set up a simple forum after finally getting Android to run on my Touch Dual. I thought i would just spread the word, because on the forum you can find posts with specific files and instructions to get Android to boot on various HTC Devices.
link
I know this would have saved me a lot of frustration when I was trying to get Android to work, as I struggled to find the right files for my device. Hopefully it will be just as helpfull for others!
CHeers!
any chance at that Android will work on my Eten M600?
Never seen that phone before..
Judging from specifications, Im guessing it is rather old? Il try to dig a bit and see what I can find

Yea, its kinda old, im waiting for the SE X1 to upgrade. And I appreciate you taking a look for me, I'll also doing some digging of my own
Your best bet would be to try to get hold of the zImage known to work on a similar phone. Il let you know if I find something that should work.
In the meantime, why dont you give the Android Emulator a go?
Thanks for the heads up. BTW, I tried the Touch version from your forum and it loaded into a black screen with some really small text, the text was something like:
shutting down device
loading linux
.......
.......
Sadly, I would guess you need a different zImage then
It does something but after the Linux boot thingy, I just get a white screen and nothing more. HTC Touch with Shadow 2.1 rom.
Checked out this post?
If it still doesnt work, I guess its the rom thats making it difficult!
I've tried it on the Universal with the zImage for openmoko but after haret finished loading, the screen wipes out and I get a great big vibration going forever till I soft-reset.
I have sh***y tablet with some useless modified version of android ( or at least seems so). I'd like to know if there is custom android ROM for those cheap chinese tablets that are on the market right now. And also how to flash it eventually
Ive got the same man. I cant even find out how to put it into recovery mod. Its not worth the time or effort.
I have one of those tablets too... They are a ****, I should have saved those $100... in order to buy a real tablet!
Help is here!
Hey guys, I completely agree that these tablets are useless right out of the box. After doing a lot of searching I found some custom ROM's that make these tablets 1000% better. Just got to techknow.freeforums.org/wm8650-1-3-0-hybrid-honeycombmod . There is a forum where you can identify your tablet and then download one of these amazing ROM's. You can thank me later.
If any of you would bother searching, you'll notice that there are a few dozen different threads regard chinese tablets and custom roms. You need to identify which tablet you have, what chipset it's running and then read through the threads.

SAME HERE - TREK HD 9020a = total PoFS!! Lasted less than 2 months b4 it bricked
Yep I was dumb enough to believe the douchebag at AT&T when he told me I could get a new nice which was supposed to be a Samsung tablet but they were out & conveniently said they wouldn’t get anymore of the Samsung’s in so I would have to take the trek junk or nothin. It lasted 2months tops b4 it bricked all on its own somehow - guy I got it from said there wasn’t anything they could do so basically I got f’d paying several hundred dollars 4 a 5 dollar made in China sweat shop piece of fn **** bcuz I had to pay 10 per month no matter what til the time was up or I had paid off what was supposed to be FREE.!! YEAH RIGHT! If any1 was curious what phone I got with the tablet I got this Samsung note 5 - total price of SH!T too & the 1 & only time I have ever left my jailbroke iPhone b4 or since. Lol. But i found the old trek hd 9020a & figured I’d c if by now maybe some1 had a good recovery rom & a way to load it onto a bricked device. Can any1 help please? Thanks in advance - sorry it was a bit long. Only thing it will do is bring up the AT&T android logo screen at the start & the stays on anywhere from a few seconds to maybe a minute then it goes right back to unresponsive blank screen til ya do another hard reset.
Hi all,
Two years with the G1 and time for an upgrade. Just wanted to say thank you to all who contribute here, and for making my experience with the G1 150% better. You guys are awesome!
Thank you and goodbye.
Youll be back. Lol

Even after i upgrade to a G2X later this year i will always keep it true with my OG g1, it's what started it all and is still a beast to this day!
You'll never let go of the first. Like everyone else said, you'll be back. Maybe not as a direct user.
I reasonly just got my G1, and loving it. Even if I move on in the future, I'll definately keep my G1 on the backend (as the spare and tester for new ROM).
Yea no doubt, I will switch to Verizon at the end of the year and even then I will keep my G1 and rom suffering even after I upgrade!
I have an upgrade coming and I was thinking g2x with cm7 sounds nice... if I root it... the g1 isn't going anywhere though I thought of making an arduino robot with it.
A true "development" thread
But yes, I just sold my MT4G on ebay (actually still 30 min left if anyone wants to jump in, http://bit.ly/MyMT4G ) so I'll be rocking my G1 for couple of months until Sensation comes along. I will never sell G1, like everyone says, it's the one that started it all and it's the coolest gadget to own IMHO.

ROFLOL! That's how I got my G1 (pass me down from my bro). Keep passing it a long. It will be a nice experience for the new user.
hey guys, i myself am a Desire Z user currently, but I have just come across a local deal on a lightly used Captivate (Rogers I896)
Talked the seller down to $50 without a charger (I have plenty of micro USB's)
I'm pretty sure this is a smokin deal, and I know the phone is stock and 99.99% sure it was never rooted or anything. With that being said this is an obvious jump at the situation and snatch it right? I'm asking because being an HTC boy for a long time I know nothing about sammy's, though from what little I did read in here it's unlockable, rootable, and no shortage of rom development.
just would love to hear your guys' opinion and any tips you may have, or something i should look at before buying, thanks!
maybe I will be around here often
Hmmmm..... I just bought one for my wife for $150...
If you don't want it, can I get that guys phone # and buy it for myself?
I call first dibs on it if you don't buy it!
Check kijiji.ca to see what the current going rate is if your still not sure........$150-$200 from what I can see...
As long as there is nothing wrong with the phone...broken glass/bricked unit, major scratches on screen, etc.... I say go for it.....or let me buy it!
I'll drive to wherever it is in Ontario today to buy it!
EDIT: Shoot! I just saw your ColdLake AB location....oh well. I guess I won't drive that far eh? I'll do paypal and pay for the shipping though....

Haha right on, yea I figure its a smokin deal, just minor scratches. And my wifes acer liquid mt lacks in development so id like to pick it up and trick it out for her lol.
Yes cold lake would be a heck of a drive I drove from halifax nova scotia to here when I was posted, never again! Lol

I grabbed the HTC Desire Z for my Mom, and I have the cappy. Personally I think my cappy is much better, development wise and screen.
With 2.2 on the cappy I found the keyboard to be a little frustrating coming from an LG Eve which had a full keyboard. However, the TeamHacksung's ICS Build 9 for the cappy is pretty stable and the ICS keyboard is much better. If you like having the newest builds, a sweet screen and slim phone, I would definitely grab the cappy.
I am grabbing it today
Though it looks like a sweet device, I will be sticking with my Desire Z, I have fat fingers and just can't handle on screen typing lol. Though the Cappy will most likely be replacing my wifes Acer Liquid Metal, a POS IMO.
my question now is what is my approach to root/cwm/rom?
The HTC devices are a breeze to get used to (root, flash custom recovery, flash rom)
From what ive read the Sammys are a little different, should I simply just follow the wiki? my goal is to have Sim-unlock, custom recovery, ICS rom mentioned above, and obviously Root.
Thanks for any input, I will hopefully crack this baby tonight if i get an educated reply as to what the series of steps i should take.
thanks guys!
EDIT: I am fully capable of following instructions, I just need a general rundown of what needs to be done first
ie 1: root
2: flash recovery
3: sim unlock
4: flash rom
Would it be worth mentioning to call your provider and check the imei to make sure it's not been reported stolen?

For $50 I am willing to risk it, also most stolen stuff around where I live does not get posted online as everyone knows everyone. Its also form an older woman, I doubt she stole it....

I used superoneclick to root, installed clockworkmod, then rebooted into recovery and flashed. The rest is history.
As far as ROMs are concerned I liked Pheonix' ROM the most, mainly due to its built in call recording option - as I am an Editor and do over-the-phone interviews. Otherwise, Cyanogenmod's stable 7.1 ROM was good, fast and stable . Teamhacksung is making great progress on an ICS build for the cappy too, although not yet stable.
I just wanted to post, saying thank you to everyone here.
I've had my Infuse for almost 2 years now, and while it will kinda be sad to let it go here soon for a Nexus 4, I have to say, you all turned my opinion on the phone around.
I run through AT&T, and when I got the phone, it was my first smartphone. My biggest problem was all the AT&T bloatware on it. It kept running in the background, making it hard to do anything as it lagged up my phone. It really ruined it for me. I looked up online to see when I could finally leave Froyo and maybe see if it would run faster on GB, and learned about the Kies upgrade. I started the method, and it sat there for half a day doing nothing but sitting at 30% until I finally disconnected it in frustration. Turns out, it was upgrading, but the cord wasn't good enough to do it, and I had bricked my phone. I panicked, as I was trying to find a job, and without my phone, I was screwed.
I came to this site looking for help. When I finally tried a new cord and Heimdall one-click, it worked gloriously (big thank you to qwkster for all of your help on that with your informative posts here). I was so excited to run gingerbread, but something was wrong. I couldn't save contacts, and my phone just generally didn't want to work. I didn't want to try messing with it again, because I didn't want to break it. Eventually, my phone bricked itself, and at this point, I checked to find a warranty on it. My warranty had expired 3 months after I got the phone, so as AT&T tried to run me through the hoops of either an insurance claim or an early upgrade, both of which cost me money I didn't have, I finally told them I was not doing either, and told her that the best help she could give me was telling me that I don't have a warranty. I decided to root my phone that night.
After 4 hours of searching for a one-click that rooted my phone and removed all the bloatware, I finally found one of qwksters helpful posts and got it to work. My phone was finally mine, actually mine to fully control, and it was great. It ran so fast, and it just felt amazing to use, I was so excited. I started working at a corporate radioshack after that, and thats when I started getting some nice cases for it to just make me feel more like this phone was truly my phone. The cases made people think I had a stronger phone than I did, and it just made it that much more awesome.
The night before Halo 4 released though, I had remembered that halo 4 would support smartglass, and went to download the app. M$, being the great people they are, didn't let it support GB, so I looked on here again to find a work-around, and learned about Cyanogen Mod. My night was cleared and set ahead of me, and I prepared to turn my already awesome phone into something even better.
I did all the work-arounds, and got my phone upgraded to JB. At first, I worried that there were some big issues with it, such as facebook sync not working. Found out, that was really a minor issue that made me worry a lot, and it was fixable, though I've been too lazy to use it lol. Either way, I got to work to next day, and my Store Manager was dumbfounded at my phone, questioning why I didn't get a new phone at the store. I told him it wasn't a new phone, and he was surprised at what I had done to my phone, one that was discontinued and kinda forgotten about. I love what this phone does now, I love what google did with Android, and even moreso, I love the xda community for making me realize just how good an Android phone can be when the user is given control of it.
The biggest downfall is the battery life, but it lasts a day so its really not that bad. Plus, we have chargers all over radioshack, so its normally fine lol. Either way, this phone is spectacular, and I have to admit, I will hate to see it go, but I can't wait to try out an officially branded google phone.
When the day comes that I jump over to the Nexus 4 forums, I just want it to be known here that you guys made my Android experience the best it could be. The CM team and qwkster in particular are two of the greatest assets to this, and I can't thank you enough. I love this phone, and I love google even more for how well they have done with their OS and supported the community to do even greater.
Keep on doing what you are doing here, it works, it works miracles
Are you on the backorder list for the N4 as well?

Well written. Most of us have had similar experiences with XDA community.

Absolutely. You couldn't have sucked it out of my mind any better. This entire community is awesome. I donate to everyone whose code I use, and am quite happy to do so.
The Infuse is an awesome phone and my first smartphone too. It was indeed scary to to that first rooting...but it opened the door to lots and lots of other great experiences and trials with my phone.
Whatever my next phone is, I will be turning again toothed excellent folks here, and hopefully can give some code of the my own back someday.

That was beautiful :'(
Yea i am also proud of the infuse and all the support it has been given.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Love the infuse. I would definitely still use that as my daily driver, but i am using a 4s just because it will not ever fail, like my phone on debloated stock gingerbread, stable as a rock. But it is on a heavily modified CM10 i made lol, still rocks. I was looking at a nexus 4, and played with the optimus G at Best Buy, and boy let me tell you, i could not slow the dang thing down! I was looking at the G, Note 2, and One X+ but something way better like the S4 will be out soon, and i might as well wait now until my contract is up in 4-5 months now.
To be honest, I have not heard one good thing about the N4 to date. Granted I haven't heard any really bad things, like the phone exploding in your hand the second you try to run it at 100%, but enough to sway me away from it.
Like you in a way, I came to these forums some time ago whilst working on what was one of my first smartphones, the HTC 8195 Wizard. Slider phone with full keyboard, halfway decent graphics, but sucky WM5.0 OS.
Next up was the HTC 8925 Kaiser, AKA "ATT Tilt", which ran WinMo 6.0 at best, but some pretty crafty and resourceful devs here on XDA ported Android to it, not just firmwares but kernels as well. L1q1D taught me a few things on kernel structure and memory mapping (really important on those phones), and the rest just seemed to fall into place; I was hooked.
The best I could do was try to port Honeycomb through use of "blind porting" from another HTC phone, but I couldn't get the kernel to fully come on line with the new memory structure, and all I could get was a really long bootloop and an almost non-functional homescreen.
Which brings me to the Infuse, which I aquired through the normal upgrade channels when contract came up. I got 2 of them, one for me, one for the now ex-girlfriend, who constantly bugs me to upgrade her phone since she's still on 2.2.1 Froyo.
Everyone here, devs and noobs, are always kind and willing to lend a kernel of knowledge, if it's something they know how to fix. If they can't fix it, they can point you to someone who can.
Lots of love and respect for everyone here on XDA, not just this forum.
There is a wealth of knowledge and information out there on just about any phone/smartphone available around the world. You can even step outside the bounds of your subscribed forum (this one) and find another phone using similar hardware, and maybe use some apps that also run on that device, even some "bloatware" from the manufacturer that you find useful, yet is not included in your favorite firmware.
Again, hate to lose another "Infuser" to the N4, but choice is choice... just don't drop it...ever.

I went the way of the N4 as well. I read many things about the phone that were bad, but after about two weeks of use I have nothing to complain about. I still use my infuse at home for browsing the internet and some games, I guess you could say my "phablet" because I can't make calls with it. I still browse these infuse forums daily! Don't think I could ever get rid of it.
