Lets COOK some ...... ANDROID !

With kind regards and thanks to a member of this forum, stuliv12, who provided us with a link to a HTC Click ROM, im asking all the chefs of this forum to be so kind and port Android on Jade. Only you have the skills needed to do so.
I believe that many of us here would want to make their Jade even better, by running Android on it
I have uploaded the ROM to Megaupload, so that you dont have to go to the original site and register.

Looking forward to seeing and testing Android on Jade.
Thank You in advance.

It's really good news. Let's improve this sparkle and make a big fire.
I want to use Android on my Jade so much.
I'm willing to support to develepors at least as a tester.
I appreciate the efforts of arseny1991 to encourage the Jade users about Android.
I hope we'll hear some good news soon.

Greetings,
I also would love to help with this project.
Please cooks, tell me how i could help... I have some IT knowledge, but really didnt had the time yet to learn how to cook...

i believe that we need to test Android with Haret first, because its more safe (we wont brick our Jade).
To do so, we should get the kernel out of the Tattoo ROM. Any idea how we can do that ? How to decompile the ROM provided earlier in this thread ?

I did have a go at opening up the attached file (the .exe above)
I used uniextract to extract the .exe and then that revealed a whole load of files, but the bulk of the space was taken by a cab file (90 odd mb). I tried to open the cab but can't succeed - I can see the content is made up of 2 files and 1 of the files is a .img file so this is the kernel.
All have a go and see if you can get to this file.
Louis

thats the same with me, i can see the two files and the .img, but i cant seem to extract it, if i could, i have the hariet for my elf, and can just swap the img files etc to see how it starts.
The main issues i would have thought would be how the keys are mapped, as the Tattoo has the home and back buttons, i assume we could re-map these to up and down respectivly?
any thoughts?

Lets not get ahead of ourselves worrying about the mapping of buttons - the first major hurdle is getting all the necessary files, and then the second major hurdle is booting - Once we have achieved those 2 goals we can worry about button mapping.
Anybody got any ideas about how to extract those files? Anybody extract files from a HTC rom .exe before as they could be packed in a similar fashion.
Louis

look what i stumbled upon.....

What are your impressions about android compared with WM ?

1. the scrolling is very smooth on the tattoo much faster than my jade
2.the music sound 100 times better than the jade(tattoo has a 3.5jack)
3. putting aps on the android is a bit if a pain ie u just cant download a cab and just click it on ur phone these are .apk files and to install the same u need to use the sync and a tool called the aps installer on the same to install an application this u can do only through the comp a little bit of a a pain
and their is some thing called the rooting on the android something like our HSPL i still havent got it its not as easy as the HSPL we do
u need to create a gold card all that stuff which is still quite confusing
but i am enjoying the feel of the tattoo its great experience
and u dont have anything like our pim backup for the android so every time u flash a new rom u need to sync with ur comp or google account
this is also quite a pain for me
but u realy cant compare a WM to ADM
from my experience both are diffrent and thank god i kept my jade and did not dispose it so i got two toys to pay with
Note : the india version of the tattoo is not 3G

Thanks Haree for the reply. I think that Android is very promising OS but we are in the beginning and like anything it needs time to be well developed , also programs for it. In this point of view WM is years in front.

[Noobie Alert] I've dumped the ROM... now what?

Geetings All...
I've just got my brand new Unbranded Palm Treo Pro and it came with Windows Mobile 6.1 pt-BR and I want to update to 6.5.
As a software developer veteran the first thing I want is to do a backup of the whole thing in case of anything goes wrong.
Reading the older posts at this forum I've managed to dump the whole ROM, following the steps I've found on this thread.
Reading further I found a Kitchen along with the ROM with WM6.5 which I believe is what I want.
However, before I flash my phone I want to convert the ROM dump into something that I can flash back in case something bad happens... you never know.
How do I do this? I couldn't find among the plethora of information on this site a way to convert from the RAW files to an usable flashing mechanism.
Regards

Same question here...

I've rebuild the ROM and posted it here, but I need a brave enough person to see if the ROM is OK because I admit I'm too scared to try it myself and brick my phone.

flashing a rom wont brick your phone.

[GUIDE]ROM FLASHING For NooBs| includes Make&Flash with GOLDCARD|

ROM FLASHING GUIDE​
Well lately i have noticed a lot of first timers have joined this community with Wildfire.. We affectionately call them noobs .. SO here is my guide to flashing rom right now its very simple anyone can do it without this guide but for all the first timers who are feeling uneasy or unusual I hope this will help.
Note::WILDFIRE is now completely rooted GO HERE and follow the instructions to root your phone.
In Case you need MORE ROOTING INSTRUCTIONS JUST CLICK.
UPDATE:: If you have already rooted your phone or planning to root it you can get the CUSTOM ROMs Wildpuzzle here
Vibes v1.1 One Stable and one under trial ROM. You can contribute by testing the new ones. thanks.
IMPORTANT:: If you are planning to install a custom rom leave this guide Now without following the steps below and follow the Rom flashing instructions at the Custom Rom Page.
Update :: Flashing ROMS with Goldcard ?? Well HERE IS THE COMPLETE GUIDE INLUDING:
1>How to create Goldcard?
2>How to flash roms with goldcard?
STEP 1 > Go to www.shipped-roms.com and download the rom relevant to your area which you want to flash. Mind this a Uk rom cant be flashed on a phone with Indian Rom i.e Rom from different areas can not be swapped until unless it is rooted make sure to download ROM from your region.
Edit 1: In case you have already rooted your phone and want to get adventurous you can download custom ROMs or Any ROM for your device you can flash any (Wildfire)ROM.
STEP 2 Download HTC Sync™ 3.0.5387 if you dont already have it. Just enter the serial no. which can be found on wildfire Box box and install it on the PC/Laptop you want to sync your phone data with.
STEP 3 After installation connect your PC and Phone with provided USB cable and on the prompt/notification on your phone select HTC sync.
Now very important :: Sync your phone and Backup your data, messages, mails and contacts. You can use backup apps from the market too.
NOW FLASHING TIME​STEP 4 Its Advisable to keep your phone more than 50% charged. Now run the RUU_*_#.exe ie rom file you had downloaded in STEP 1.
STEP 5 Just Follow the on screen instructions on your PC/Laptop.
TAKE CARE:: During the flashing
>>>do not disconnect the USB cable.
>>>The phone will enter the boot-loader mode during this time.
The whole process will take around 10 minutes.​
UPDATE: All those who want to Unroot or remove Root just Flash Official RUU***.exe
Have Fun.

Thank you so much, I will use it later.
One question for step 1.: shipped-roms.com are not adding new ROMs since 20. July 2010. Are there any other sources for new ROMs?

Sadly there is no such single source for download since Shipped-roms stopped uploading new roms.. we will Just have to post the links here as and when we find/extract new roms.. presently i dont have a ROM different from Shipped-roms as and when i have one i will start a separate relevant thread for the collection of roms..where we all can post links to our uploaded roms

its nice to see you putting so much effort in the buzz forum here!
thank you and keep it on
i hope root will arrive soon.

Thank you so much Buddy .. it just comes with the love for the community and your device. Its important if we can help use these devices to full potential.. and its a combined effort from all of us that helps.. so My thanks goes to all..
Hope things here would be of some good to you too..
HAVE FUN

Thank you very much for the guide, it realy sounds very simple!
I am a total newbie, never had a smartphone before, never had to deal with ROMs, etc, and I am thinking of getting a Wildfire next week, and if flashing ROMs is done this way, it won't be such a difficult thing to do.
Just a question: Is Wildfire's Bootloader locked or unlocked?
Thank you.

Thank you and welcome we are all newbies at least once in our lives .. Ok now i did not get your question's intention very well but you can access your bootloader i.e you can go to bootloader mode of your phone but you can not flash unsigned ROMs ie custom roms or original roms from another region.. That will be done once the phone is rooted.. Many people including me (though i am not very good at it still i am trying ) are working towards it.. we hope to get it soon then a lot of developments and hacks can be done for this device..

Sorry if I wasn't very exact in my words. I meant exactly what you answered:
If you are able to Flash whatever ROM you want, like Desire/Nexus One users do, but Milestone (for example) users cannot, even though their smartphone is rooted, the Bootloader is Locked.
So from what I understand, when Wildfire gets finally rooted we will be able to Flash whatever unsigned ROM we want.
Keep up the good work and hope you root the phone soon!

Thank you Warrior for this write-up!
I've got some experience in flashing ROMs on a WinMO Phone but a total n00b with Android Phones...
Small question for you if you don't mind...
When looking at the 'What is your firmware' post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722988), I notice I have exactly the same firmware than the Original Poster although he is from Germany and I'm from Belgium. Others with the same firmware were from Denmark and France.

On my Phone, I can choose between Dutch, French and English as language for the operating system. I guess our German friend will have a German language option on his Phone and the Danish guy will probably have yet another option (Danish). Are all these different languages contained in the ROM itself??
Can we all use the same ROM file from Shipped-ROMs.com?
The only ROM on shipped-ROMs that completely corresponds to the version numbers I see on my phone is this one:
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814_signed.exe

How would I recover the Dutch and French language options if I would ever need to install this WWE ROM??
Thanks for any clarification!
Sylvain

I'm asking the same question as @Sylle.
I have the same firmware, software, etc. numbers as he does. I've bought my Wildfire from Vodafone Romania (also locked on this network - this is the reason I want to change the ROM, until a rooting method is discovered) and it has the locale ROM (I'm guessing Central - Eastern Europe or something...it also has Polish, Czech and so on).
I'm goind to put the WWE ROM (RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3. 35.15.31_release_130814_signed.exe) but i would like to know if there's any way to extract the current ROM? Or to make a backup of it, in case I ever need it later..

Many thanks for this topic; definitely going on my "subscribed to" list.
I am a n00b to ROM flashing, but not to *nix systems; anxiously awaiting root, at which point this info is going to come in handy.
I just wondered whether anybody knows if HTCFlasher (the Linux Flash software) works with the Wildfire?

Hey dude all you answers one by one :: First things first i am myself new to android flashing but i was pretty good on windows devices not just flashing but a lot of other stuff too..
ALL ANSWERS ARE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE EVERYONE SHOULD FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IN CASE I AM WRONG::
About language packs inside the rom ::
There are no extra language packs inside ROM other than what you can see.. what i mean is there is no hidden language pack that can be somehow hacked and enabled.

I see that you have found a ROM that corresponds to your ROM..so you can very well go ahead and flash it but to get back to your Original ROM you have to wait till the ROM you Presently have is posted somewhere ..or rooting is done..hence many options will be open to us..
ALSO UR ROM CANT BE BACKED UP AS OF NOW but once rooting is done you can back it up using NANDROID..
I can not try Rooting this as i gifted this phone to my younger BRO and i just have 3 more days to play with it.. i recently have bought HD2 and left my JOB for my Furthur studies so can not spend like i used to earlier .. i am saying this coz it makes me sad as other DEV's are neglecting wildfire for other high end devices and i am not able to help much still i am trying my best..

A quick request: would it be possible to write a similar n00b guide for those of us on Linux (perhaps Ubuntu specific)?

Hey would love to do that i already have UBUNTU 10.04 on my laptop but never bothered trying flashing on it .. I think since Android is Linux too so it should be easier to root and flash on Linux OS in this case Ubuntu...
BTW i remember something about HTC Flasher..Even more info and discusssion HERE so if you like you can do a bit of your own research too..also there is a thread for Rooting Aria on Ubuntu butfor this to be done on Wildfire we need unrevoked to work on our Wildfire first .. sorry mate this month is my Exam so i am devoting a little less time here in forums..

Hi, thanks for the reply (and good luck with your exams!)
One of the things about being new to this scene (I've quite a lot of programming experience) is the lack of a centralized source for information on existing devices. Getting your head around the terminology can be tough. Furthermore, while there are device specific roots, they rarely give insight into the technical process that is going on behind the scenes. I'd really like to gain some insight into the methods people go through when developing a rooting technique.
For instance, say a kernel level exploit is acquired and you obtained a root shell; what is the process for installing the su binary? (what changes are necessary and, because it's a ROM, where would the binary live?)
A lower level resource that started from scratch explaining the boot process, file structure, signing and verification procedure would be ideal, but I haven't yet found one.
(P.S. not necessarily requesting this, just voicing that this seems to be an area that is uncatered for)
Thanks again for the guide.

Hello Phunctionist!
I've been reading a bit more about the subject and I would like you to check something out so that I can confirm my suspicion...
You can change/add more locale (which determines the language of your Android OS) by installing the application 'localeswitch'.
However this doesn't add text input prediction for that language. I have the impression this is included in your keyboard software (Input Method extension - IME) on an android phone.
As we both have the same firmware, i'm wondering if we have the same input settings available for the keyboard as I also have options for Polish and Czech.
Amongst others does your keyboard for example allows you text prediction for
- Dutch (Nederlands): mine does
- French (français): mine does
- Croatian (Hrvatski): Mine does NOT
Hope your answers will bring me some clarification...
Thanks in advance!

Do enlighten us too as and when you get clarification .. coz none of my friends are using this phone so i am not able to get this thing cleared..

What is the simfree spanish rom?
Anyone know what rom should I use for a SimFree Spanish HTC Wildfire

I need another ROM for my Wildfire because it has Chinese language options that I think they are Hongkong and Taiwan. I downloaded this file
RUU_Buzz_HTC_FRA_Bouygues_1.23.483.2_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_140524_signed.exe
and tried flashing this ROM many time but got some errors. At first it was very hard for my phone to connect PC, when it's done the Updater told me the ROM is invalid for my phone.. So which ROM I must download and do I need to hack root my phone?

ROMs are locked to locations.
Asia has their own rom so you must download the Asia rom.
Not sure if it will fix your problem.

Flipout ROM

anyone happen to have ATT factory rom ?

+1, I could really use a factory Rom as well.

ATT rom
me too me too

I know this is bumping a dead thread, but i had the unpleasant experience of frying my Flipout's bootloader, and having to sign up for 2 different forums just for this one link. I figure i'll post it here, for future reference.
Can't post external links just yet (rather new member), so i've attached it.
It's got the latest version of Motoblur, and your can repack it if you don't want it. You'll have to rename it to something shorter, as RSD Lite doesn't like the length of the file name.

[Q] Reverse creation for Android 2.1 ROM

It might be not the right question, but I'm going to ask it and hopefully someone will answer!
I have a tablet that has android 2.1, I managed to root it and make some changes to it. My question is, can I create an image of the entire ROM on this unit and use it on another device.. I'm assuming it should be created as an image. The goal is to send it to my friend so he run an update.zip and update his unit will all changes.
Thanks in advance!

the best you can do is a titanium backup and share it with him so he has all your apps. unless its the same device it will most likely break his phone.

Identical device! thanks alot for the hint!
