Hey im new to xda developers and i jsut have an easy questions how do you install android on htc diamond. I am a noob so i dont quite understand all the HaRET and stuff but could anyone walk me through it ima fast learner and if it works out for me i will gladly donate to this site =)
have you been to that devices sub forum? that is where you need to start.
can u send me the link please
ok well easiest way to explain it is to visit the wiki let me find it for you ill also like to the touch diamond android development which is the best place to find new builds
android wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelLinux
best source of new builds is from my knowledge is the touch hd android forum, because this device currently doesn't have a nand flash i don't think diamond does either, and these are all haret builds which should work on any winmo phone.
but let me explain what will need to be changed, if you get the cab from here and install then select your device the startup text should be ready made for your device but the startup txt is the best way to make sure the build is made right for you phone i know with my phone the touch hd that lcd.density in there needs to be set to 240 because other wise apps don't fit on the screen. so just experiment around a bit, if you need any help skype me on slaming1 and ill try and help you as much as i can, but i aint no dev so don't expect me to be much more knowledgable than you
ai man i think i get the concept now. So theres so many android files to download can u send me the best one for the diamond thanks
yo i tried it and i put everything where it belings but when i use haret to boot itit says CANNOT OPEN SCRIPT FILE/INTERNALSTORAGE\TMP\DEFAULT.TEXT
PLZ HELP

EDIT:
if you need my help i recommend pming me as i don't tend to check this area of the forum often or using skype if you use it
There has to be a guide somewhere for those of us that have no idea how to get rooting done. Toast, Unrevoked..Geez! Where do you begin?
I am a convert from winmo so this is all new to me...I am fairly clear with Toast's instructions, but a video or pic tutorial would be greatly appreciated. I did some moderate reading on this, and would still feel far more comfortable "seeing" it done!

you begin with the post entitled "{tutorial} how to root \0/" in the Android Dev section. i'd post a link, but i'm a lowly new user.
looks like windows adb utils are included in the evo-recovery zip, i'm on linux and had the android sdk installed anyway.
Adb is in the android sdk.
Follow the instructions in the tutorial in dev section.
Cmon guys work a little for it.

i think folks who are new to this need a guide to all the acronyms floating around. i mean how many new users konw what "adb" is? its Android Debugging Bridge...
there just needs to be a fundamental guide.. nuts and bolts.. to get people in tune with the process THEN they can start the actual root sequence...

There are really tons of stuff, you just need to search in the development section.
Anything worth doing takes effort. All the answers are around if you look. Not trying to sound snarky or elitist but just like you I had to spend time looking for my answers.

Hey all, I am in the process of trying my hand at making some ADW themes.
I would like to see if I can get an image that has the market available with internet that works so I can do some testing.
Anyone got a link to something that I can import into the android SDK that will help with testing, or even a guide so I can learn to do it myself?
This sounds invaluable. I would also like to know if anything like this is floating around.

Why do you need market in the virtual device? Just adb install your apk...

If I could figure out how to do it with Eclipse and the ADK I would have done it already.
I can get the compiled APK on the virtual device but I need to have ADW installed as well to test out the theme.
Sadly I don't have a ton of time to invest and would like to not have to learn too many things BEFORE I do what I intend to do.
Guys I have Nexus S i9020T runnig Android version 2.3.4, Baseband version I9020XXKD1, Build number GRJ22. I have looked around a lot and am confused on how to root my phone, is there any simple way of rooting my phone with super user? I run a very old PC so installing the sdk is pretty hard, so could anyone give me a step by step simple tutorial? This is my first Android phone and am a complete noob at this
Did you read the sticky yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007782
It's a step-by-step tutorial and exactly how you should do it.
The SDK shouldn't really be a strain for your PC.
Good luck,
Greetz
You don't need the entire SDK. Grab PDAnet USB divers and then choose to download just the 2.3.3 SDK and Google USB drivers from the SDK. Worked fine for me this way. You don't need all the stuff the SDK wants to install by default.

Will I be able to use this method for my Nexus S running 2.3.4?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545
Is there any way to root without the SDK? I heard there was some problem with the fast boot oem? People were getting stuck at the Google screen?

Yes that guide works regardless of what Android version you're using because Android version is not a factor. It's the bootloader.
No, it is impossible to root without the SDK because you have to unlock the bootloader using the SDK. You won't get stuck at the Google screen. People are messing up because they're unable to follow instructions.

I've helped people in this topic many times.
The easiest way I can say is to first download the Android SDK listed in that step-by-step thread. It's not that difficult and you shouldn't be scared to do it. Unless you're flashing something for another model of the phone (such as NS4G) everything should be fixable.
Download http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html to your respective OS. If its for windows, I know it says recommended for exe but I prefer using the .zip version of it. So download that first if you haven't already.

Sure, but I can't guarantee that I can respond right away. But if you're able to do it now, that would be the best and I can help you step-by-step to achieve this. It shouldn't take more than ten minutes.

It's afternoon here. I'll be on but I can't promise anything being on XDA because I may be busy. Like I said, right now is the best time if its possible. The exe is fine, you don't have to re-download it but I have no idea where the exe is installing the SDK to.

I'm on.. like I said, I don't browse XDA 24/7. You want my help, I'm not going to come looking for you.
If your internet is really slow and you have to download ROMs after rooting. It might be rough on your end because ROMs are at least ~80MB+

I'm done downloading the SDK, I am downloading the JDK right now, will install both immediately. I will try the guide, can I PM you if I have any problem, reply whenever you are free, I will wait and could you give me a link or names to the roms I will need? I will keep them on download while I install the SDK.

Don't know why you're downloading the JDK but okay. Extract it and rename the folder android-sdk-windows-r12 to /sdk/ and place it on the root of your C drive. So it'd be located in C:\sdk\
You need to put your phone into bootloader mode (while phone is off; VOL UP + Power) while plugged in. Do what the instructions say and set up the drivers.
The step-by-step guide is self-explanatory. I don't really want to paraphrase what the guide says because it's pretty simple. Follow the guide you linked earlier and tell me if you experience any problems or have problems understanding what is being asked.
Edit: In part 2, where it says:
switch to the directory where you downloaded & unzipped the ..\android-sdk-windows\tools
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It'll be cd C:\sdk\tools\
(I rename it to sdk because its easier to type than android-sdk-windows-
Edit 2: In part 2 where it tells you to get clockwork 3.0.0.5, disregard that
download: http://www.mediafire.com/?y3is5c9n5fi1sd6 instead
when you finish downloading it, place it in C:\sdk\tools\
and type:
fastboot flash recovery 4002-orange.img

This is a newer version of the Recovery and it should function better.

the guide is at the main post now with the files to download
I did this on Bliss OS, it works aside for the fact that in my VM the settings wont open now, but I didnt test it to see if they did before so whether or not that is an issue due to the steps provided is unknown
EDIT: The VM I use is Hyper-V
