I am really looking for a HSPL.cab if one exists anywhere, if not i would be grateful if someone (more clever-a than me) could make one.
Apart from the options of installing away from PCs I dont actually use windows / activesync on any of my machines (they are all linux), and as such I am pretty limited without .cab installs.
Thanks for the help, heres hoping!
You can install VirtualBox @ your distro and map USB port do Virtual Machine running Windows XP and ActiveSync.
Regards,
True, but its a fair amount of effort to go through just to get 1 app on my fone for this one time. I also was hoping a .cab might be useful for a few other people.
If there isnt the interest i guess i will have to go down he virtual box route and dig out my old windows xp cds.

hspl is not a "program", for what i know
you don't install this on running OS
it overwrite boot sector
then no chance i think

Its not an 'app' and you certainly cant install it via a cab. It can only be done via the methods explained in my flashing thread and can only be done via activesync (windows xp or windows7 32bit preferred).
If you cant manage to do it that way then im afraid you cant install HardSPL.
The effort is well worth it if you want to be able to protect your phone and want to flash custom roms

Nice idea, sadly it hangs/stops working just after the phone restarts to the bootloader screen. I guess it could have been worse, it could have hung about 1min in to the instal and bricked my phone.
I think im going to have to resort to using windows this once.
so last night my pc crashed and i thought i lost everything, i was able to recover my windows 7 install, thank god. anyways if i couldn't of i was going to install the new ubuntu that just came out. my question is:
is there htc sync for linux?
will ubuntu detect the hero on usb mode?
i assume there is a android sdk & guide to setup on ubuntu?
do you find building roms & developing for the hero easier on linux?
thanks!
I don't know if this will help you at all, but I believe gbhil did/does a lot of Ubuntu. Here is a guide he wrote for setting things up:

Ubuntu is amazing. The newest version was released yesterday, 10.04 -- and it's great! I've dual booted (Windows 7 and Ubuntu) for some time now and realistically once you try Linux, you'll most likely use it as your main OS.
Developing, theming, syncing, and anything you can do in Windows with the HERO can be done in Linux (Ubuntu) -- I know, because I do it!
You should definitely give Ubuntu a try, at least try a Live CD, you won't be disappointed.
Or, if you use VMWare, I have a Virtual Machine already compiled and running Ubuntu (not the newset) but it should be setup already.
Edit....Actually, that may have been before I had to reinstall windows. Anyways, I'll check and see what I still have lol.
Ubuntu is definitely the way to go. I'd never go back. Everything works for me.
I use Ubuntu exclusively now. Wont go back to Winblows. Also, you can use Wubi installer if you dont want to remove your Windows install. Wubi will install Ubuntu beside Windows and give you the option to dual boot...
yea, I'm a wubi convert. If linux played better with my laptop, I'd go all the way, if ya know what I mean... lol
anyways, two problems I have (although will be trying 10.04 later this weekend to see if they're fixed) was plugging in headphones not automatically turning off speakers (could turn down speaker volume manually though) and finding a decent visualization program for listening to music at work (I use whitecap on windows right now). Minor annoyances, but hey.

Sweet. thanks for the tip.
im gonna set up a wubi install tonight, i still love windows 7 too much but after last night im compelled to format but it takes too damn long.
I wonder if with Wubi if you can install the newest Ubuntu or if you are tied down to specific versions?

1. No HTC Sync for Linux
2. Ubuntu will detect the Hero (the 1.5-based Roms had an additional benefit...when you mount the SD card, you would also be able to directly modify the ext partition if you were using Apps2SD...market apps such as splitter will perform the same function in any Rom).
3. There is an Android SDK for Linux and several guides that will tell you how to set it up on Ubuntu.
4. Development, I think, is easier since both run the Linux OS.
Wait...there's an HTC Sync for Linux (not that it really matters, since I can care less...but if so, I may have stuck my foot in my mouth again. Can't get this taste of Tinactin out of my mouth.)

Ad hoc networking is spotty in Ubuntu...at least 9.04 and 9.10. Until i install the 10.04 final I cant say if it still sucks. They changed a bunch of stuff regarding networking support, so It might be fixed now.Takes a lot of extra work to get wireless tethering to work.
My bluetooth hardware in my computers wont see the phone and it connects but never pairs. Android has always had lackluster bluetooth support anyways. That might be my hardware in my systems though.
Im ok with wired tethering though anyway so I havent made a lot of effort on that front. Thats my only major gripe.
Almost every little quirky thing can be fixed if you do come across problems, but these problems are fewer and fewer since 8.04 .
Ubuntu forums are amazingly helpful (if you follow the rules and dont ask stupid ass questions)

i am running crunchbang 9.04 (great for older machines and underpowered netbooks) which is a very sleek, very fast distro based off of ubunutu 9.04 and wifi tethering works perfectly without any fussing with it.
for a distro, ubuntu is a great starting point but personally it is too bloated and feels too much like windows.
btw- crunchbang 10 alpha release is very solid (especially for an alpha build) and works very well on netbooks. the support community for it is fantastic (which is very important for me- read: i am not a dev). check out distrowatch.
cheers and best of luck with linux!,

is it the same thing as installing it with a windows computer?
got tired of windows mobile 7, so going back to android,
angry birds!
but yea, sorry so would anyone care to help me out?
really? no one guys?
I have never used a mac, but i did read about it something like 6 months ago when i was stuck on the wm6.5 test rom.
From what i read, you have to set up an emulated windows environment on your mac, and then do some additional stuff to make all the commands and such point to the right place. To be honest, it sounded like quite a pain in the ass, compared to using somebody else's windows computer.
Wish I could be of more help man, best of luck. Hopefully somebody with better unix experience can come along and point you to a real good guide. Or you find someone to let you use their Windows pc.

You should install a version of Windows via bootcamp. Just type in Spotlight " bootcamp" and it should show up and follow its instructions. Shouldnt be too complicated. then after install Windows onto bootcamp partition, set up as u normally use it on windows. Bootcamp allows you to run Windows ( XP, win 7, Vista) natively on Mac with its own Win drivers ( install using your mac installation disk after windows has finished setup). Hope this help.
yeaa i know about bootcamp, just dindn't wanna install windows on my mac, sigh but thanks guys for the help.
Just put all the required files on your sd card, take your phone and usb cable to walmart, and use one of their laptops that are out on display

I don't blame you for not wanting to install Windows on your Mac. This might be a totally dumm suggestion too as I have absolutely no knowledge of Mac. But could you not buy a cheap external hard drive and install Windows on the external hard drive and just use the hard drive to run the windows or the above mentioned bootcamp off of the external hard drive. Don't really know if you can do this or not but just a thought.
Yes you can run windows on another HDD. It's possible.

Hey guys, i wanted to ask if anyone had managed to install windows or ubuntu images on our Defy with CM7 running on it.
If yes can u help me telling me the steps so i can make it too?
thanks in advance and sorry for my english
i heard that someone run Ubuntu on his phone, but it's very difficult to use it, because of touchscreen interface. I think that running windows is impossible on this phone, except some WP7 mods i would suggest staying on Android
Yep, I have run Ubuntu. It is basically run by mounting an ubuntu image to a loop device mount point. And the GUI is accessed using vnc. Dunno about windows!
You can also try out windows..bt its just windows 95 desktop version..
And pretty easy to achieve

I can not give you any working download links but have you tried Googling the name of the files or the developers name that posted them? Also you do know that when running Windows 95 and 98 you will not be able to use your HD2 as an phone right?
If you got Windows 7 Pro or better the easiest way to run old games would be downloading XP Mode (I can't post outside links yet, sorry). Or than that there are different free Emulators for PC and your HD2. You only should install Win95 or 98 on the HD2 if you need headaches.
i succeeded running win 95 on hd2, but i don know how to insert the game.
game name - supaplex ( it is an old ms dos game) that i would like to play on hd2.
