[Q]Trying to switch to Android 1st time - General Questions and Answers

I am trying to switch over to Android from WM 6.5 on a HTC HD2 from T-Mobile. I've spent a lot of time reading about how to do this and deceided to give it a try.
I've been following guide by ThaDeanesta [GUIDE] Flashing Your First HD2 NAND Android Rom [For Newbs]:
1. Have radio 2.06.50.23 already installed.
2. Downloaded and installed HARDSPL 2.08.
3. Downloaded and installed MAGLDR 1.13. The aMAGLDR V1.13 Build: Feb 1, 2010 by Cotulla, starts up fine.
Here is where I'm having trouble. I downloaded "SuperRAM_Froyo_v1", extracted it to a folder. I have tried a number of things and hot sure where to go from here. Don't know if i should try a different RAM for my first attempt. I can see my MC in the phone thru USB MassStg. Tried copying folder to root and restarting phone. Just comes back to MAGLDR screen. Not sure if I'm doing this correct. I'm sure I am close to completing this for my first time but need a little help.
Thanks to anyone who is willing to help.

No, I unzipped it with jZip and then copied the folder to sd card. Then the instructions said to run CLACAD and haret from the phone. I was not sure how to do this. I just restarted my phone while holding down the volume and off. Connected my phone to the computer and ran the latest htc rom to get my phone working again. Phone has been down for a day. I still want to install Android. I'm not sure what CWR is?
Jack

Are you trying to install it from your SD card? Well..that's a different story then....go to your SD card root and tap on haret that should get you going
BTW ..
CWR =clock work recovery.

Thanks, I will give it a try. I wanted to load it thru the USB cable but couldn't figure out how to do it. From futher reading I think you can do it thru the bootloader.

Help with HardSPL flash!

Hey guys I have read all the articles on how to flash my fuze and I feel pretty confident in how I am doing it but I am having no luck on getting my fuze to flash the HardSPL. I am trying to use OliNex flash instructions. What is happening is that I have hooked my phone to a XP machine running Active Sync 4.5. I also made sure I had the .NET Framework 3.5 loaded. I run the RaphaelHardSPL-unsigned_190_1_3.exe. I follow the on screen instructions and then all of a sudden my phone goes black and you can here through Windows that the USB connection disconnects. The status bar on the computer stays at 0% and then after a few minutes it gives me a Error 262 Update Error and then starts the recovery process. My phone still works, but I can't seem to get it to flash. Any ideas?
Thanks

This is an error with the Custom RUU Wrapper.
Extract the .nbh file and load to the root of your storage card, search on "flashing spl from SD Card" for specifics.
I believe you rename it raphimg.nbh or something like that but I don't remember.
Enter bootloader and it will load from your card.
Hmm, I didnt know that HardSPL thingy can be execute inside microSD. I thought only ROM. Anyway, what OS you're using? I still have no luck with Vista or Windows 7 as they're keep on disconnecting USB. So until any fix on this, I keep my XP around

Bruce,
can you verify that this is possible to flash a SPL from SD card? If so I will try it right away.
Thanks
You can flash any .nbh file from bootloader.
Here is a brief instruction.
Also, for your PC issue, make sure you have netcf 3.5 installed.

Treo750 is not working anymore

Hello,
I have a big problem and I hope you can help me.
A few weeks ago I want to update my Treo to WM6.5 and use a Rom (I think from navenedrob) which was timebombed (since there I don't know it).
Now I want to update my Treo to the right version from this thead :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541417
but when I start the update with the cheathunlocker tool, it stops at 7%, the usb connection get lost and my Treo make a restart and the old bimebomed version is there...and the tool says, that the file is curuppted and i should check my update tool... but this message comes every time also with other roms.. When I use the method with the media button there comes the colored screen with "serial" and nothing happens.
(The sd card is okay and the same card which I use to install the timebombed version)
What should I do? I can't do anything... Please help me
1. format the card 32fat.
2. do not use hc card.
3. try to download again the rom.
4. if it does not help - try to install 6.0 rom from palm .
Hello
1. format the card 32fat.
2. do not use hc card.
3. try to download again the rom.
I tried this very often... But nothing helps
Where I can get this Rom? On the plam homepage I can't find a Rom, only instructions and a download for Mobile center.
http://rapidshare.com/files/173145556/Treo750_2.23_ROW_WM6.rar
For England (750V) :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PS2QHTE6
Oh really thank you for the Roms!
But I have a problem, my Treo dosn't connect to my Pc. When I click to my workplace there isn't a hhd from the Treo.. and the Mobile Center show me, that there i no connection... I have Windows 7, under Windows Vista it don't work too...
Because of that I can't update my Treo.
Do you know the problem and how to solve it?
Really big thank you, this here is a nice community where I get help!!
1. try to install from WINXP - look for another computer...
2. there is a way to get the rom from the file - maybe with winrar- I'm not sure but I remember something like it...
3. look for a rom 6.1 and try to install it from the card.
Okay I try it under Windows Xp, but I get no connection
I get the Rom from the .exe file by 7zip and copy it to the sd card, but the same problem is there at 7%
Do you have maybe am link from Wm6.1?
I think all this dosn't work.. I don't know what the problem is..
What other possibility can I try? There must be a solution for it...
a link to 6.1
http://www.mediafire.com/?4gxsdxh1tmm
maybe you need to replace your card...
Okay thank you.
I try it with an other card and hope it works..
But I think, that this don't work, because when I press the media button und reset, there comes the bootloader with "serial" on the bottom of the display and when I connect it to my pc "usb".. but I can't start the rom with this method...
I try it tomorrow and tell you if it works or not
the "serial" problem happened to me too. It was because bad rom file or bad card.
Okay today I try it with an other Card and 2 Roms (also the orginal Rom), but in the bootloader modus there is every time the "serial" and below..
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
PalmTr
SPL-0.24.0000
Serial
And when I try it with the cheetahunlocker, it stops at 7% and my Treo make a restart and the old timebombed version is loading..
But maybe my sd card slot is broken from my Treo or the sd card adapter...
because when I run the cheetahunlocker without an sd card, it also stops at 7%...
any idea to check this? Or an other way?
Hey I might have a solution here:
When you format the Mini SD card, do NOT do a quick format. Uncheck that box and do a full format, FAT32, Default Allocation Size.
This took over 15 minutes for me.
Do a scandisk (Right click the drive/tools/scandisk) and check "Fix Errors". This should ensure your SD card is in good shape.
Now copy a good ROM to the card and reset+PTT. The Palm should flash successfully now. If not your ROM may be corrupted.
Hope this helps! It worked for me!
1. Format sd card to fat32
2. find the .nbh file in the stock ROMS
3. rename it CHEEIMG.nbh
4. copy it to the sd (make sure it is not hcsd or it won't work)
5. insert the card in the card reader
6. reset the phone by using the stylus and the reset button next to the card reader, at the same time hold the PTT button on the left side of the phone, (this will put it bootloader mode)
7. when prompted, press the end talk button on the phone, this should start the update process without using activesync.
HardSpl
1. redownload the app and extract using 7zip
2. make sure you have .NET compact framework 3.5 installed on the PC and the phone
3. in CHEETAH unlocker press ctrl+2 and click the header (this will unlock all three options)
4. follow steps
The radio it flashes will not be a good one, so you need to search around to get the right one. Once those steps are complete, you should be able to reflash WM 6.5 without any problems. If you download Navendrob's ROM, you will need to download the arcsoft mms composer to make mms work, and you should be good to go.
Hi backspacepc,
thank you for your help!!!Now it works.. I didn't rename the file. so this was the problem
Hi,
I have a question about this rom. (Wm6.5 from naevendrob)
My touch is broken, so I can't use the touch. Now I have the problem, that I only end a call with touching "end" and not with the normal hang up button on my keybord.
My second problem is, that I can't lock my Treo, because when I want to unlock it, I have to use the touch display.. On Wm 6.1 I could turn my screen with the hang key on my keyboard off.. this is now on this Rom not possible, or do anybody have a solution for this? Maybe in the registry or something?
Thank you
Has nobody a anser?

Since your issue is with the ROM you loaded & your hardware problem, you should bring it up at the specific thread where you downloaded the ROM from.
I would recommend getting the touch screen fixed or roll back to WM6.0.
No it's a Problem with my Treo. I change the touchscreen one time and it works for a while, but after maybe 2 months the touch dosn't work.
Can anybody maybe write a file that i can use the hang up button to hang up without the touchscreen?Or has anyone an idea to change it maybe in the registy or sth. like that?

[Q]

Hi all. I've been trying to install app2sd on my Xperia X10 mini pro. I've successfully rooted my device, using z4root 1.3. After I followed steps you provided on one of your threads. I've partitioned my SD card (16GB) and copied all necessary files. However instaed of running the proccess from my PC, I've downloaded terminal portal onto my phone and made it run from there. In the description it is said that after all steps, (which by the way were exactly the same had they been run from PC) the phone should restart itself, which unfortunatelly it did not. Worse of all all my apps and even Market icon dissapeared. I managed to find that the files were there, only system could not detect them. Pissed off about the whole situation I've decided to reboot my device using software installer by SE. Since then I can't even root my phone. I've tried all possible solutions including z4root, andro root, super one click, none of them succeeded. Please can anyone tell me what is going on. I would love to have app2sd as this really good phone is given with such a annoying flaw, as 200MB of memory. Thanks

What method to root a Samsung replenish

Just wondering what is the best method to root a Samsung replenish. Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I'm wondering the same. I've tried using rageagainstthecage, gingerbreak and psneuter. The first makes the phone vibrate alot. The second just sits there and the third looks like it runs comlpetely but still no #. Anyone tried anything else?
Edit: z4root causes the constand vibrate. rageagainstthecage kills adb and adb will not recognize my device until I reboot the phone.
have you guys figuered out how to root the replinish yet??
I'm still trying. I don't think anything out there right now is going to work without doing some coding and I'm not a coder. Anyone know what irc channels I can hit up for some tips on the android exploits used for rooting?
This may help or not get closer to root.
To boot into Android Recovery Hold U down while powering on....or do 'adb reboot recovery' (requires android sdk tools)
If you hold down Q while powering on you get some verbose output instead of the first www.samsungmobile.com screen.
If you power down then hold Q while you plug in you charger you'll get some verbose output on right below the battery icon.
Bootloader appears to be Little Kernel based. Anyone have experience with that?
you guys think Gingerbreak might work?

I have my replenish rooted, here's the files.
Extract KMS.zip
Remove SD Card
run PrevailToExistence.bat
Done
KMS will root this phone, run the bat and follow the directions, after you unmount the sdcard and enable usb debugging its best to reboot the phone. seems to have teh highest success

I'm new to this, so let me see if I have this process down:
I hookup my Replenish to the PC without the SD card.
I transfer PrevailToExistence.bat to the device (where/which folder)?
I run the file within the device.
Is there anything else that needs to be done to root the device that most people would have already assumed to do?

Unfortunately this did not work at all for me. I have the drivers correctly installed because if I put an SD card in, I can read/write to the sd card from my wife's replenish. I did remove the SD Card before trying this & USB Debugging was enabled. This is the screenshot of what came up. Also why is it that this says its for the Samsung Prevail? Does this batch file also work for the replenish? Anyway take a look at the screenshot & tell me what I did wrong because I followed the above instructions with no success.
UPDATE*** I ran the batch file & rebooted the phone when the batch file said "waiting for phone to reconnect" while it was rebooting, the batch file continued to run and failed........BUT, after it rebooted, I ran the batch file again never disconnecting the phone and I finally had success. Thank you for this method but more detailed instructions would have made this as easy as it really is. Thanks.

I just tried your method, and was unsuccessful, I had my card unmounted, usb was in debug mode. maybe there was something else you had to do?
update: I pressed space to continue as I powered on my phone, and it worked fine, many thanks to everyone!
Worked on a coworkers Replenish, here's what I did to make it work:
0. Did not install drivers (I already have samsung captivate drivers and samsung transform drivers from rooting previous phones, so the phone was already recognized)
1.Unzipped KMS.zip on my computer.
2. Put phone into USB Debug mode. Plugged in USB cable.
3. (Phone is currently on) Removed SD card.
4. Ran bat file.
5. Received errors identical to those screencap'd by PRBajista above.
6. Powered phone off (left it plugged in).
7. Powered phone back on.
8. After the boot logo, but before the lock screen came up, I ran the bat file again.
9. Bat file ran sucessfully, phone rebooted by itself and was rooted.
I'm guessing the correct process for rooting this phone is to do exactly what I did (install drivers for step 0 if you don't have already), except skip step 4 and 5.
seems very coordinated... what if I have bad reflexes? (in other words, no other way to root?)
D
Its pretty easy push the power button in thenphone and hit the spacebar about 5-10 seconds later

Yep, worked perfectly for my replenish too--I simply had to get the samsung drivers and then run the program right as the samsung logo came up after rebooting.
QUESTION: Anyone know how to UNROOT the Replenish?
Worked for me!
First try, very easy thanks for posting this!

So, did you get your tablet rooted? I want to root mine and this is the only thread I could find on Google about it.
I got it rooted
ok go to the digix website and download the drivers and download super one click just google it. after you install the drivers run the programs and press root wait for it to do its magic and its rooted hopes this help you. just got the tablet today and its ok
Why?
i can not find the drivers for the digix tablet PC 720 they can not be found anywhere if anyone knows where i can find the drivers for the digix tablet PC 720 the help will be much appreciated thank you in advanced!
P.S. It seems like every android product i buy can not establish a connection to A windows pc at all i really dont get it and it really is soo frustrating they should really add a driver installation CD with the other accessories that come with the android product because obviously people are going to want to connect there android tablets/phones to there computers no?
roms
any roms for digix tablet 720?also the ics rom for digix tablet 730 maybe work on the 720
dont need drivers
just down load super one click it can force install the drivers and then it will root the device for you i just did it and it worked like a charm. all you have to do is plug it in and push root it will tell you you have no driver and ask if you want to force the driver installation say yes and the when it finishes unplug your device and plug it back in and it will root the device im sooooooo freakin happy i managed to get this thing rooted !!!!!
