Ok thought might as well start this off myself seen as people keep talking about it, lets have a Q&A thread instead of bashing up the original thread so it can be used just for news and updates.
Does Android work on my HD2?
yes and no, at the moment it boots, no touch-screen driver so that's it so if you try this is what you get
microang has made up some pretty nice versions that dont blue screen check them out here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7032400#post7032400
Can I flash Android?
NO NO NO, it will run from Haret, it will not be a ROM, (yet maybe one day)
Can I boot Ubuntu?
yes you can, but touch-screen issues again,
UPDATE there now is a TS image to use
you would be better off using a mouse and keyboard via a powered usb hub.

What I found was that the ubuntu folder must be inside another folder which is on sd root. So tree wise its setup as...
1) SD root
2) Folder (containing the ext2 and the ubuntu folder which contains the haret files)
If you do it like you did, it hangs, I had the same problem. If you do it the way I explained, it gets to the actual linux kernel (tux) but kp's when the modules are to be loaded.

Ok, this solves the cpu coherency freeze, what next? what is that we're doing wrong and can't boot the image?
thanks in advance.

Yes, but i downloaded it over the rapidshare mirror.
what i did:
-copied everything to the sd root
-replaced zimage with the kernel that boots on hd2 (from irc log)
-merged the default.txt and startup.txt of the ubuntu build with the irc-log-build
start haret.exe

hi guys,
i currently don`t understand what exactly i have to do to run the HaRET. i`ve downloaded the "fatsal-ubuntuX1-20100225". there are haret and so on and a folder named ubuntu. when i extract it to my sdcard an boot haret i got a stop error "can not access SDroot".
what is wrong? maybe i am stupid?

That's the first of it, but go grab artn3r's pre packed ubuntu from the official Android/Linux thread a few posts after the one you quoted I think, and set it up folder wise as...
1) SD root
2) "fatsal-ubuntuX1-20100225" (containing the ext2 and THEN the ubuntu folder which contains the haret files)
That's what I did to make it work but as stated in the official thread, it hangs at the module loader
the name doesn`t matter?
well I'm downloading now, i have to pop out but i will be be back in 45 mins, and ill play try n get it running, if you get it going in the meantime let us no

Not sure TBH. Something interesting happens if renamed to something other than the original name though. The coherency test hangs but if reverted, it runs up to the tux.

Ok, SOME progress. Mine HALF succeeded in rebooting after deleting then recopying the files over (making changes of course). It got past the rebooting in 5 seconds hang and now has actually made an attempt to restart. (yay!) But all I got was it declaring it was about to reboot and the Kernel version number. i.e. 2.6.32.9

no it doesn`t matter where the files are or in which folder or how it is called.
tried this:
1) haret, ubuntu folder and co in the root of the sd card
2) new folder called "fatsal-ubuntuX1-20100225" with alle the files and ubuntu folder in there
3) renamed the folder "fatsal-ubuntuX1-20100225" to anything else
does not matter...the result is all the same.
haret booting, init the panel and stops after a line "welcome to kovsky aka xperia - ubuntu" with an error

Interesting, mine gets none of that. In fact, the loadmodule shell extension is the only think stopping mine from progressing. Oh and umm. It also attempts to switch to rootfs.

No other partitions, hmmm. But in case this helps, its still got winmo stuff on it, so not formatted to ext2. Doubt that'd make a difference though as the SD's format shouldn't effect the format of the ubuntu image.

ok so im not a really noob to xda but i have been looking for 3 days on a clear how to update a new kernal... i just cant find it im not sure if im wording it wrong or what please help you will be my internet hero and my mind will stop going insane...
thanks
Is this for hd2? If it is then all u do is find the kernal u want and replace with the old one. What build are u using by the way.
Read this:
http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/UpdateKernel#Installing_latest_Linux_kernel_image_.28zImage.29
All you need to do is copy in the zImage and .ko files. The .ko files go in the "modules" folder, a subdirectory of "root."
Most of the kernels will come with following files :
zImage - The Kernel
bcm4329.ko - Wireless Module
tun.ko - Networking Module
yaffs.ko - File System (Optional at this time)
The way I apply the kernel is shut down the phone and use card reader and attach to my laptop. Assuming your build is under SDCARD\Android, files are copied to following locations :
zImage -> Android
*.ko -> Android\root\system\lib\modules
Anything to do with the lights modules goes to Android\root\system\lib\hw
Anything to do with RIL (like libril*) goes to Android\root\system\lib
Create the \root\system\lib\* directories if they dont exist, like for Sense builds. Now just back normally.
Hope it helps

Is it also possible to update kernel without external card reader, by connecting HD2 to the PC (USB) and replacing files while in Windows Mobile HD mode?
THANKS!
What if a certain developer updates his android build and version, do I just copy the new stuff on the SD card, overwrite, and keep the Image iso file so I dont lose my settings ?
Do any of the above and finally to verify that a kernel is installed start Terminal Emulator (or any available terminal program) and enter:
uname -r
Should give you the kernel version.
Hmmm usually, what I do is either connecting the phone in USB in Windows Mobile mode, or power off and use a micro-SD card reader. Then:
- BACKUP the DATA.IMG to desktop or whatever
- Delete the root directory in your Android folder if there is one
- Delete all the .something directories (temp dir created by android)
- Copy the content of the kernel in the Android dir : Haret (emulator), initrd.gz (boot logo), zImage (drivers/kernel)
>Ignore the dev folder in hastarin build for example
>DO COPY the "root" folder (of hastarin 7.6 for example) to the android folder : HARET will update the android OS "suppletive drivers parts" without any need to enter commands or else (what i've been told)
Done
Hello,
Just got my new TF and thanks to XDA I've already rooted it and installed rom Prime 1.4 to get a rooted 3.1 android version.
Everything goes fine except for mapping network shares. Mounting network shares with cifs manager is ok except that I'm French so some directories in my network got unicode characters and I can't mount them.
Does anyone know how to bypass this limitation ?
On my understanding, I should install a cifs.ko module compiled for the TF and the 3.1 Android version in /system/lib/modules but I don't know where to find such module.
Thanks in advance
Try es strongs file explorer. It allows you to add network shares.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Thanks, but I've already done it without success.
The issue is not to map a share, this is working. The real issue is that share with unicode characters (like é, è, à...) are not working.
Thanks anyway
Im also rooted with prime 1.4 buf cant get any shared volume to mount via cifs manager. What am i missing here?
Have you tried adding 'iocharset=utf8' to the mount point options?
Don't know if this can help you or not, but my 1st mistake with cifs manager when I tried it fist time was that I haven't put anything on mount point.
What you need on the fields of cifs manager is:
Share Path: The path to your share ==> ex: 192.168.1.5/share (this is the shared dir on your server)
Mount point: The name of the "false" directory that will simulate that your share is on your tablet ==> ex: /sdcard/cifs/share (this is up to you but keep close to this)
Plus of course username and password (I thinks that anonymous connection is not allowed anyway)
Hope this help

If you edit the settings for a mount point (Long press on it, then choose edit), there is an options text field at the bottom. Put it in there, save, and try mounting it.

Attached Modified vold.fstab files for switching Internal SDCard with External SD card
USE only if you know how to overwrite existing File found in /system/etc after making a backup of original file for safe keeping.
Most of all make Nandroid Backup of your ROM before attempting to do anything on your phone
Method:- ( you can use any (root) file manger that has read write permission)
You must copy and paste all files and folders in your SD card to External SD card first before rebooting phone after this switching, for phone to function without force close
1. Download the attachment and extract it and transfer the file "Vold.fstab" to your SD card.
2. Now open root explorer/file manger with root permission. Go to System > etc and copy the original vold.fstab file to a safe location (if there is any problem or you wish to change it back, you can restore it)
3. Now copy the downloaded file vold.fstab, Go to System > etc And delete the original file and paste the duplicate one or simply paste it to overwrite existing file
4. Click on new vold.fstab file and keep it pressed to open the menu and click on permissions and set them to rw_r_r_ ( Owner = read & write - Group = read only and Others = Read only)
5. Save it and close root explorer. power down your phone/tablet and reboot into CWM or Stock recovery and wipe cache before rebooting the phone/tablet.
6. Go to settings >storage to check it
This app will also do the same for you

In Jelly Bean ROM version 4.3, CM 10.2 , switching fstab does not stick after reboot and @srnoth has found a solution to make it workable as quoted below
To locate your mount points easily, just install this app and look in system > mount points to get mount point details
Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45330007&postcount=7
srnoth said:
Ok so I found a different/interim solution using an init.d script. This is specifically for my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (with broken internal memory), but can be modified for other phones.
Create a script file in your /system/etc/init.d/ directory called something like 11sd_remount:
Code:
sleep 2
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:97 /storage/sdcard0
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:28 /storage/sdcard1
Then chmod 755 the script file. Upon reboot, the internal/external sdcards should be swapped. I've attached an update.zip which sets up the script automatically, and can be used after updating CM.
To get this to work on other devices, you really just need to figure out the mount points for your internal and external sdcards. To do this, type mount in adb shell (from within CM, not recovery), and you'll see a list of mount points. Somewhere towards the end will be the lines for /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1, looking something like /dev/block/vold/179:97. Simply modify the script using these points, and you should be good to go. Download attachment http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2237695&d=1378415056
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
another method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46825100&postcount=4 by @viiron
Since the above solution no longer works with Android 4.3, here is the new procedure you'll need to follow:
1) Pull the build.prop from /system: adb pull /system/build.prop
2) remove line ro.vold.switchablepair=/emmc,/storage/sdcard0 <--- this may or may not be present in your rom.
3) At the bottom of the build.prop paste the following:
# Switch External With Internal
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1
# Storage configuration
ro.vold.switchablepair=/storage/sdcard0,/storage/sdcard1
4) push the new build.prop back onto the system (from command prompt - assuming adb is in your PATH)
adb root
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb push build.prop /system/
adb reboot
You can also pull the build.prop from the Rom* zip file, modify it and place it back before flashing to save a little time and trouble.
Removing the line in #1 has has no ill effects from what I can tell. I've install 250+ apps and haven't had a problem since.
Obviously make a nandroid back before attempting this just in the rare case that something goes wrong.

your vold fstab for storage is running in a series, most of them are parallel ( meaning having two mount points, yours only has one) , as such is quite different , anyway had switched, you need to test after you have safed the original you had attached and if it fails, just switch it back .
Hope it works, if it does not you may need to try the other method mentioned above.
remember to copy all the file and folders in your SD card to ext SD card for phone to work, when it is successful.
kindly also mention model of your phone and version of ROM for my record.

hmm. will look at it again, but like I said this script is rather different from the earlier versions used on Galaxy and will PM you if I can figure this out . Just do a search on XDA, there are other members who are helping in switching fstab scripts too.
Just one doubt, Did you reboot phone after switching contents of your internal SD card to external SD card or before that?

ok, i'm working on the NAND backup
You know, my sdcard1 has some of the same folders as my sdcard0, including an "Android" folder, etc
I use ES File Explorer and Total Commander, but neither have an option to "Combine", they are replace or nothing
any utility you know of to combine the contents of folders?
otherwise i have to open individual sub-folders, which go down quite deep, and copy every single file, which is a big pain... an XP-style pain
thanks

otherwise i have to open individual sub-folders, which go down quite deep, and copy every single file, which is a big pain... an XP-style pain
thanks

Frankly you should not combine, as phone may get stuck in boot loop, since some of the files you may have in your EXT SD card can cause conflicts. Your should use a fresh EXT SD card or fully formatted EXT SD card with only what is found in the Internal SD card. once the procedure is successful than you can copy anything back into it ( so best empty your EXT SD card to your PC first, format it than copy the contents of Internal SD card after you made CWM backup.
If this procedure fails, you should be able to restore using your Nand backup ( SO use your CWM recovery to make a Nandroid backup first before the switch and save it to PC) , and you may have to try different methods of mounting.

ok, thanks, i'll try that..
also.. I've been reading that this is not a permanent solution? like it doesnt hold until reboot, is that right?
something to do with "init.d".. can you tell me what I need to do to init.d to make it permanent?
thanks again

If it works, (I say this because, different builds work differently) it will be permanent, but if does not than you can try the init,d method like this

ok, removed & reformatted my SD, did a clean copy from sdcard0 to sdcard1, have my vold.fstab ready to go.., and have my backup of the original
but I cant delete the original file in system/etc
I am root user, My ES File Explorer is set to Root Mode..I cant change the Files permissions, it says "sorry, operation failed"
and when I copy over to overwrite it says "Access Denied"
I cant delete it either, it says "read-only system file"
any other options?
i also tried something called "root Explorer", but that had even less options, and I couldnt do it with Total Commander either
btw, any particular reason "goldfish_mmc.1" isnt changed with goldfish_mmc.0 ??
thanks

Basically, you must be rooted and have busybox installed on your phone to get read write permission for ES or Root explorer to work. SO get your phone rooted first and install Busy BOX from app store and permission must be granted by SU or Superuser to the ES or Root Explorer for it to be able to read write a system file.
Yes I left the gold fish part out, and wanted to add in that IF it failed, fundamentally, the Vold Fstab on your system, says its an "example", so I have my doubts concerning it, IF its actually the mount points for your phone or its in another location. Its good you have noted it, jut add in that switch, if the first suggested one fails :fingers-crossed:

well, i mounted the system drive as Read/write in es file explorer, by disabling & re-enabling Root mode.. then i could delete it
Then I used Quickboot to reboot into Recovery Mode
then I hit up to enter the recovery console, then I hit the down arrow and selected "Wipe Cache" and hit the Power button for Enter, and it completed that, then I selected Reboot, and rebooted
and now my SD card is not read at all..
it seems everything is the same, except no SD card.. I still have the same sd0card as before, but sdcard1 has disappeared..
any ideas?
thanks

I hope you had done this
4. Click on new vold.fstab file and keep it pressed to open the menu and click on permissions and set them to rw_r_r_ ( Owner = read & write - Group = read only and Others = Read only)
5. Save it and close root explorer. power down your phone/tablet and reboot into CWM or Stock recovery and wipe cache before rebooting the phone/tablet.
you can try including the the goldfish part (switch) and try again, if that fails than its the init.d method that you need to try, so long as you have the backup, you can be restored back to your old system, IF nothing works.
For locating the mount points you can download Android System info app from play store, that will give you the mount points for init.d switch.

ok, sorry, yes I did set it to rw_r_r, saved, exited, rebooted to recovery, wiped cache, and then booted into the OS
I just tried it with goldfish also, and it gave me the same result
I also tried External 2 Internal, selected my mounting points from Android Sys Info, set my external to /dev/block/vold/179:97 vfat
I'm wondering if this has anything to do with my SD card formatted to FAT32.. and not vFAT
i'll look at init.d .. i dont see the mount point for init.d, i guess they show up after I create the file. i'll look at that tutorial next
Can someone please Edit this vold.rar for me? Its for Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9205... Please!
