[Q] Telstra T9193; Android Woes

Hi all,
Having a problem getting Android to run on my Telstra HD2. I do the following:
+ Run CLRCAD; all good
+ Run HARET; all good until -- 5 or 6 lines of the linux screen appear and then it hangs, or the screen goes blank depending on the Android build that I try running.
I have an Australian HD2 with the following specs:
Model: T9193 (Telstra)
OS: 5.2.21869
R: 2.07.51.22_2
G: 15.32.50.07u
D: 1.72.82124
I am using the standard SanDisk 16Gb Micro-SD card. I have tried a number of Android builds from gamesquare.co.uk with no luck.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get this running on the stock Telstra ROM?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Peace..

Probably need to upgrade your rom
and radio. Look at some signatures of people who say their build is working good.

I didn't really want to upgrade the ROM and radio since it'd void my warranty..

RE: Telstra woes
I notice you are running 2.07.51 radio. I reckon it's your radio to be honest. I run 2.12.50.02_2 on mine. I have had problems with radios other than x.xx.50.xx radios. There is a link somewhere in here to all the working radios (I think in the definitive guide. Don't worry about warranty issues, if you ever need to deal with that, just flash back to the factory rom (but I take no responsibility .
Cheers

Definitely need to change the radio. You need a .50 radio. That also means you need to put HSPL on the phone. However, be aware that Android is not very stable yet. I couldn't get WiFi working and had all sorts of problems getting it to talk with Outlook. Went back to stock Rom highly modified (CHT etc)

Hmmm indeed the radio could be the problem. I use the 2.07.50.22_2 radio (although my G and and D values are also different from yours) and I've had no problems.
This way if anything catastrophically goes wrong with your phone and you're unable to flash the old radio back hopefully they won't notice
EDIT: Forgot about HSPL, thanks iandg.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm going to bite the bullet... I've just installed HSPL; no problems.. Now to find a radio update..

really? you had that much problems with it dude? I'm still a noob here but I must say that I'm having a really good experience with it at the moment.
My config seems to be working pretty good. Try this....
ROM is NRGZ maxsense rom:

I have actually been using this as my main OS for the last 2 builds and it is really usable now. I have it syncing direct to my outlook server at work no probs at all (IT have hijacked it with security policies, but this is understandable). Other than that I reckon the DEVs here are absolute geniuses with how well this stuff is running.
Hope this is of some help

e1design, I have the same phone in the States on AT&T. Feel free to use my links below in my sig to get what I'm using. It works just fine. I haven't been on WinMo in weeks.

Done
Firstly, thanks for the replies in this thread.
I have to say that I've read it many times before: "Try the search function" - well it works wonders. With the information posted in thtis thread I was able to piece it all together and I now have Android on my HD2!
There are still a couple of things to iron out [WiFi, battery life and such] but in all a very worthwhile exercise.
Thanks again to the thread responders, and if you're in the same place as I was a week ago wanting to get Android on your HD2 - search on the keywords in this thread and you'll find it's as easy as can be.

Androis on T9193
Am totally thrilled to learn Android can be installed on the T9193.
Where are the best locations to source ROMs?
Suggestions on which are better and why?

Steps to Android..
Look at my sig and go from there..

I know I'm reviving an old thread here, but I'm wondering if any of you using a Telstra HD2 on AT&T (Cingular for me) here in the US have a stable Android install? I've been struggling with this for a long time now. I love Android but I can't get a configuration that will run longer than about 10 hours most of the time. I've gone through all the radios from 2.12.50.02_2, 2.14.50.02, and 2.15.50.14. I've switched my Windows Mobile ROM from Dutty CDLC v15 to OzDroid v1.11, I've switched my Android build from mattc froyo sense v1.8 to froyostone sense v3.2. I've gone through a couple different Linux kernels, currently on hastarin #8. No matter what I do I end up with about a 10 hour life before the device hangs. I have seen improving PPP performance with the different radios and kernels, but the overall device stability is the biggest problem. Could anyone using the Telstra HD2 for Android please post the configs that worked from them on their devices and include what kind of uptime you've achieved? I'm hoping this would really help me. Thanks in advance.

Ok For me I have the telstra HD2 and this is my Config.
Pretty much the latest of everything
- MAGLDR1.13
-Latest HSPL
-TyphoonN_CM7_v2.4.4.zip
- Radio 2.15.50.14
- Clockwork mode recovery v1.3

I tried schubCRAFT 1.5 and it had audio issues. (and a few more whose names I don't remember)

good info, i've had the issues as well with the 3.14...luckly nrg rolled back to avoid the audio issues and other problems

What kind of audio issues you're talking about?
I have used radio 2.14.50.4 comes with stock 3.14, but it gave me some echoes with some builds, then I reverted back to 2.12.50.02 and didn't any problems with it.

Ok, I will add this to the list.

Audio issues
I dont know whether it is audio issues or due to signal interference,this is what i did and found out
1) i installed the miri rom that froyostone recommends and the radio 2 14 50 04, i called my friend who was in the same house (with my home wireless on) there was a lot of echoing as soon as i turn the speaker mode on on either phones(other phone is samsung highlight).there was minimal echo present when i did with speaker off.
2)i flashed the new energy rom standard build and installed the radio 2 10 50 26 , and the froyostone 3.1 android build and called my friend who was at home with home wireless on.there was minimal echo with both or either phone speakers on when calling but none with speakers off. Then i did the same after my friend returned to his home and i called him from my phone(hd2) with either / both speakers on there was no echo on either ends.
Conclusion i dont know why i was getting the echo in my house, is the us version slightly different in hardware other than the rom/ram on it. Or the radio signal frequency interference, you can try this at home and please let me know what happens.
I dont know whether darkstone uses us hd2 or non us hd2.but the
energy rom is highly specific for us hd2 model ,i dont have any issues with it now.

US HD2
I think it will be good for all us hd 2 users to use the us hd2 specific roms for android testing for better results

I tested many Android ROMs... as some one already said.. some builds has robo voice issues.. so you can't say that all android builds are OK with TMOUS
Keep testing and update the thread

I've tested these two builds and are working superb!!

It seems as if every current build works with TMOUS 3.14 - this thread is obsolete

Obsolete list? t-mous stock ROM still having issues with new android builds.
ROMS tried and failed due to robo voice:
hyperdroid1.7/CM6-michyprimaR11
mattc LEO+froyo sense 1.8
HD2ONE0.3.2/CM6.1
bangstersv.1.5
Currently running successfully on stock t-mous ROM 3.14, 2.15.50 radio, HSPL 2.08, 8GB class 4 microSD :
M-Deejay froyo sense clean v. 2.4-kernel MDJ S6.1 with the green camera tint fixed with M-Deejay's desire based build.prop.
1. format your sd card to fat32. Copy the android folder to SD.
2. unload all today plugins including sense.
3. turn off voice command in settings.
4. reboot, run clrcad.exe and haret.exe as soon as possible after boot up.
I manage 4-5 mah draw in standby, 12-14 hours of use with normal usage (30 minutes of calls, 20 to 30 SMS, 30 minutes of web browsing). If you wait too long to run clrcad.exe and haret.exe, the minimum power drain was 54 mah in standby. YMMV

Android 2.2 Leo+Froyo w/Sense 1.8 on HTC HD2

Hi,
I have successfully downloaded and lunched described in the subject version of Android. I have launched Android (previously launching clrcad) and everything worked fine till I have noticed that in the random period of time my phone is rebooting. It looks like you take out battery and put it again. It is happening regarding this latest version only. When I had froyo sense 1.7 nothing like that ever happen on WM also. I have upgraded my ROM and radio to the versions described below but the problem still exists. I will be very gratefull for any ideas what is the reason of such behaviour.
kernel 2.6.13.15
SPL-2.08,
OS version 5.2.219
Manila Version 2.5.2
ROM version 3.14 (recently upgraded)
Radio 2.15

Er, you might be better off asking in the Touch HD2 Anroid forum; this is the general Android Development forum.... ;p

I tought that maby some of you met kind of problem and know solution.

if you want to go directly to desire HD builds then that is your prerogative, but don't whine if ever it lags.
You have HSPL with stock rom? May I know the link of the particular winmo rom you used?

The following WM6.5 and Droid Builds work really well for me, just make sure you re-format the sd card on the WM rom and also change the screen time-out to 'never' before booting from the droid folder. The ROM and Build links are below:
WINMO ROM:

DROID BUILD:

Hope you find it as good as I have, just make sure to HSPL before-hand, this is the Nexus One droid build and i've only had one small problem with hearing people on calls, but that fixed itself after a couple of uses. The build is very stable and reliable and also battery life is good (No outstanding BUILD is the best for battery as it really depends on the RADIO you use) .

Even though your going to be using droid all the time anytime you switch off the device, without a bootload option between WM and DROID you will always need a WM ROM to use as a platform to boot droid.
The ROM i use is a very low-key ROM and dosnt take up that much memory.
Plus the RADIO is what ultimately makes the good data connections and battery power etc so you will need both.
The way I have my build the droid battery drain issue is minimum (in my experience) to other builds, its stable, fast and it works well. Just make sure to install LauncherPro once you boot er up.
Just remember though if you restart your phone for any reason it will go back to the WM ROM on boot-up unless you have a BOOTLOADER installed so you can choose between either.
Hope this helps

[Q] 3G Data not working HD2 Android but does work on WinMo

I have darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1 on my HD2 and it runs great with the exception of one problem. My data connection doesn't work most of the time. I usually have "H" with the up and down arrow both gray. Even if I have 5 bars of service, my data almost never works. When I'm running WinMo 6.5 however, my data connection works perfectly.
I've tried to find threads related to my problem, but I just can't seem to find an answer.
I appreciate any help from you guys!

Is it the Nand rom? I think Darkstone mentioned that it is experimental not for daily use.
just change your rom to stable one.

Well this has happened in all versions of Android that I've tried. Do you think upgrading the radio would help?

Here are some questions back at you.
Did you set up the APN with the correct settings?
Did you mess with the Kernel?

can not install the Clockwork Mod Recovery On The HD2 when i restart on the MAGLDR only on 2.Boot AD NAND what do need help!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not, is there an instructional thread that can help me do this?
I'm not sure if you can help me Life1688, but I tried installing WP7 earlier today and made another thread about a major problem I have.
This is the thread to the other problem
I reason I'm asking you is because my knowledge of all this HD2 modifying isn't great.

Response
Try the 2.15.50.14 this rocks I get a steady 3g signal with the androi-ppc-shiftpda
nand build.

@Ionowner07470
Did changing radio help you? I have the exact same problem with the same ROM
(wich besides this works perfectly so I really dont want to change ROM)
would appriciate if you could tell me what changes you made and if they helped, thanks!
