i wanna know how to put the apps,themes on my hd2 phone please help me.. im noob -__-
get the cab for whatever you are installing, copy it to your phone (recommend creating a "cabs" folder on your sd card for this)
then run the cab file from your sd card.
it's about as easy as what samsamuel said. The hardest part is deciding what applications to install.

I tried to upgrad my qtek using the XDA_Tools directly with USB and it failed, what I can see in the screen is only grey lines.
Now, I'm trying the other wy using the SD card. I followed all the steps mentioned in the forum and I used the XDA_Tools to make a ROM image on the SD card.
When i go to the boot loader while the SD card inserted it doesnt prompt me that there is a new ROM image on the SD card.
I tried to use variouse versions of the ROMS's and it still gives the same result.
I have bootloader ver 5.15
SD card 64 MB
SD read/write USB
Can any one please help me to perform this task to have my qtek back.
Thank You
you used nbf or nb1 format ?
did you cook it like that or extracted the nbf from the ROM exe ?
Hello Biso,
I tried first cooked one from yorch nb1, then I tried NBF I already downloaded , both couldnt work.
I doubt that there is a problem in reading from SD card, as I now I try to perfrom back to SD card it tells me " CARD FAILED"
Thank you,
Hey Biso,
Just curious by what you meant 'extract the nbf file from ROM .EXE file'? Is this the proper way to do it?
I cooked various versions of nb1's and nbf's but they won't copy on the SD card. Whenever I try to copy an nb* file on the SD through a USB card writer using the XDA tools, I get a message reading that there is something wrong on the filesize and it cannot proceed with copying the file.
Hey Peter, did you get the nbf file on the SD successfully? Do you need something more than just XDA tools?
My bootloader is also 5.15.

Yes I could get the file on the SD, you dont need anything more than the SD tools, but my only problem is that when I insert the card and go to the bootloader nothing happens[/quote]
Ok Peter,
It seems that I'm running through the same problem myself. The copying process through the XDA tools seems to be going smoothly but after it is completed I can't see the file on the SD card. Have you checked that the file has been really copied on the SD? I'm working on it now. Let me know if you find something first.
Hello All,
Yes, I always cook the ROM as EXE and if it doesn't work I extract the nbf file from it.
The best way is to format the SD card using the XDA. Then use XDAtools to copy the nbf to the XD card through the USB cradle. When it's done, the SD card should NOT be readable. The XDA might ask you to format this card ... just press NO!. When you go to the bootloader it will be recognized.
I just flashed my XDA with A30.09 few minutes ago ... I used exactly those steps .... Good luck
Thank you Bisso.
I managed to pull it through myself in a slightly different way. I had to copy the nbf file in the program files/XDA tools/binary/english folder. I then run the XDA tools and indicated the source and destination folder manually the source being the nbf file in the above folder.
It worked!!!
For all those of you cooking your ROM from Lumpi Stefan's kitchen beware of the 4.01.00 ROM. It's a T-Mobile's ROM and if you're not happy with it, it won't let you change it through active sync. You'll have to use an SD card to download a new ROM on your Qtek.
Hello Biso,
I am not able to perform ur way of upgrading because my qtek doesnt boot it gives those grey black and white lines, so my only wy is to go through the boot loader, could the version of the rom be the reason that i doesnt want to boot in the boot loader?
Hey Peter,
I had the same problem and I figured out why. Make sure that the command lines on the source field of the OSimage tool window point to the right nbf file which you had extracted from the .EXE file. Click on the 'browse' button next to the 'source' field and pick it up manually. Then proceed with the copy and slide your SD in your Qtek.
Let me know of how you did...
Hi,
I was wondering. Can u only install apps with activesync, or can u also install from the sd card?
I'm new to pocket pcees, and i work with apple computers. Activesync does not run on them.
Also i was wondering were is the file were my contacts are stored, and can i copy this file from the device to my sd card in it?
My parents do own a pc, but it would be cool if i could install and back up things without it.
Tenx guys and gals
You can install from the SD Card. One way is to put the *.CAB file on your card open explorer click the cab file and it will install. I think the path will stay wih the Card though ( Correct me if I'm wrong here someone) so the app will be on the card as aposed to the device.
Ok tenx,
Is it bad if the app is installed on the sd card?
From what has been posted, the install mechanism is completely replaced in WM5. The install routine will always ask where you wish to install apps on the device itself, like happens on Symbian smartphones.
So installing from SD should be no problem at all.
Ok tenx for the info guys!
Oh yea , forgot e bit where it asks !! Thanks
i have an htc hd2 i tryed yesterday to install android on it but i dint know how to do it anyone who wnats to help pleas contact me amro__12 at hotmail thanks guys
you need to download the Android and to extract to your SD Card root folder.that's it
There's a little bit more to it than that.

When you open your SD card in explorer in Windows, it's there - just don't go into a sub-folder on your SD card.

what ROM you have or RADIO?maybe you need to upgrade your RADIO read that
(Root is just in SD Card not to make any folders and put it in)
First you need to check that you have the a compatible radio version (2.08.50 or above, I use 2.12.50.02_2, and that works perfectly). If you have not got a compatible radio, you need to flash the phone with HARDSPL3, and then flash the phone with a compatible radio.
Both HARDSPL3 and radios (such as 2.12.50.02_2) can be googled easily.
Once you have downloaded the files to your computer. Run HARDSPL3 and then the radio install files from your computer. Follow the instructions that each piece of these phone flash files tell you. It is fairly easy to do & fairly similar to jailbreaking an iPod Touch or iPhone.
Once you have done this. find yourself an Android build. If you're wanting to boot Android from your SD card, avoid NAND roms. If you are wanting to install Android onto the phones main memory (removing windows mobile), go for an NAND rom.
For installing to SD card (non-NAND): extract the Android build on your computer & then copy the folder 'android' to the main directory on your SD card (looking in File Explorer you would copy this to: "My Device/Storage Card", and no where else.
What you then want to do is open File Explorer on your phone (obviously after you have removed your phone from the computer). navigate to your SD card, go into the Android folder and press the CLRCAD.exe file. Nothing will visually happen, but that's ok. This is just getting the audio ready for Android.
Now click on haret.exe. you will then see a window saying 'booting linux kernel' and a load bar. Now let the phone do what it's gotta do for about 10 minutes. The first boot takes a while. After that you should have android running.
As for NAND installation (install in main memory, removing windows mobile): I have never done this so you are best googling this to make sure you do it correctly.
*I MUST WARN YOU THAT INSTALLING HARDSPL3 AND CUSTOM RADIOS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY. DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK* although saying so it won't do any harm to the phone. happy androiding
Hello,
I'm having some troubles understanding the SD Structure after flashing an Android ROM.
Fist of all, Could someone please explain what's the point on Partition the SD when flashing? I just cant understand... Is the OS Installed there?
i've got a few dir's in the SD (.android_secure , ANDROID , LOST.DIR , tmp)
Why are this dir's in there? Can't I have one dir for all this?
And finally, How can I install all the apps to a single dir in SD? Something like program files in windows.
I just would like to have the SD as clean as possible, but the OS just constently keeps stuff in the root of the SD...
Thank you very much for you help.
Thats normal.. all the phones have this structure.. so its okay!
Instead of touching system's settings, i suggest you create a folder "My Documents" or "My Folder" and keep your files there cause the root is gonna be full of folders and files from android if you're gonna install many applications
hi guys i have this problem: for a mistake i deleted the wp nand rom on hd2, and now i have the sdcard with many video files that i wanna save!
there is a way for save this files? i can flash a wp7 rom with a new sd card and then insert the old sdcard? or there are other ways?
hehehe... you dont accept fact and after few posts open new topic...
forget it... no way to extract files from WP partition... in two years nobody make this
if you want, save SDcard or make partition backup if someone (not likely but maybe, who know) make solution for this....
next time be smart and use Zune...
you could try to re-flash WP7 with a different card but must be exactly the same as your previous SD & "Maybe" WP7 will still recognize the Old card that you used before, give it shot & let us know
you may delete or formatted your SD card by accident or mistakenly operation, then you may feel panic and wonder if there is any way to recover those deleted, formatted and lost files, you can try this:
no, try what?
