[Tutorial]Beginner Android setup

Hey, since there is many requests for how to setup the android on you'r HD2, i was thinking "why dont i make one?" So here it is.
PS!!! My english is not the greatest.
First download this radio if you dont have it (recomended): 2.10.50.08_2
And install it, boot up you'r HD2. A stable ROM is also recomended.
Second download one of the builds from: Here
Third: Clear you'r SD card (Only if you have a low mb sd card) You dont really have to, but if you do, u might get some smoother speed.
Four: Extract the build you downloaded to you'r desktop on you computer and Copy the files inside the folder you extracted to. ALL files. and past them into you SD card. (VIA USB) once done, unplug you'r usb cable. (If u choosed the froyo build, just put the whole android folder to the root of you'r card)
Five: Disable the auto backlight in the WM first before you start android, Select file explorer on you'r HD2 (or simular programs) And go into you'r SD card Run clrcad (for the sound, If nothing happends, dont worry, dont supposed to) and run Haret. Then after the build has booted, plug you'r USB cable in you'r HD2 again (Android drains battery atm).
Six: Enjoy!
Note: If you'r screen turns black, turn off auto backlight. If it's still black, change radio. AND!!! This dont kills you'r winmo.
I'm non genius but i made this to help you guys.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Cheers!

Hi,
Thanks for the info but I have done all that without the radio update. I'm running a stock vodafone ROM. I manage to get the haret launched and all the code scrolling but then the screen just fades to black and doen't finish the boot up... Is it the lack of the radio update doing this?? I'm not very clued in on this stuff.
Cheers!

No need to clear your SD card (I never did). It does make it easier to switch between builds, though, since you can just delete everything and copy over the next one you want to try.

Yes, most likely. What you're reporting sounds like what other people had before they installed a compatible radio.

Just want to add:
1. depends on the build, you have to extract the content to SD based on the instruction. (for example, the Froyo build you have to extract all files to a folder named "android" at the root of SD)
2. Must disable the auto backlight in the WM first, else you will some times get the "black screen". If you look carefully or under strong light, you'll still see things on screen, there is just no back light.
2. Run clrcad before Haret to get the sound working.

Cheers Meptik
I am looking to update the radio version... it that like doing the full ROM thing, in that it will re-set everything to factory default? Or is the radio update not as 'back to square one' on the phone as doing the ROM?

Updating only the radio shouldn't reset your HD2 to factory default, unless perhaps if you flash it using a stock ROM Update Utility.
Use the radio that FreddernLFC links to from the first post; it includes a CustomRUU, which should flash the radio to your HD2 without restoring it to factory defaults.

Hmmm.. will have another look at it. Ran through the updater and 5mins into it it errored so had to go through the recover process. I'll try again later. Cheers

Mine didn't work with stuff on my 8Gb card so I copied the whole card to my PC, reformatted the card, copied over the Android stuff and it then worked. I the copied all the back up stuff back and Android stopped working (tty error).

You try again. Common issue.

Hi Everyone, just wanted to add a few things. i would recommend you turn off sense from the device, then power off the device, once it powers on again go straight to your file explorer and run the process. you should notice the cursor at the bottom blink at a slower pace, if its in hyper mode the system will crash. it has been helping me, hopes this helps to all

what is this hyper mode what causes it i had to down gade my radio to 2.10.50.26 to get rid of the super fast un usableness of the 2.12.50.xx but i did like my 2.12.50.xx radio wish there was a way to make it work with that radio

i jus downloaded the desirrev4 build. so i just have to extract all files into the root storage card ? then run clrcad before haret and thats it ?
may i check , does this kills my existing wm rom ? how to switch back to my original wm ? i have read this is a kind of multi boot method . apologies for noob questions .. would appreciate if someone can advice. thanks !

winmo still remains there but sometimes you might need to hard reset
just switch off the phone in android or take out the battery and reboot, you are on win mo again.
good luck

How long does it spend? Because I am waiting for a long time.

[Q] Certificate problems

Hi..
Tried the latest Android Froyo build on my phone with some interesting results.
I downloaded Froyo, copied the Android folder to my SD card, hit CLRCAD and then Haret. Froyo started booting, but after 4-5 lines all stopped. There was nothing happening after 15-20 min, so i pulled the battery, and started the phone again.
Now i get the message (in Norwegian)
"The file <filename> cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's components cannot be found. If the problem persists try reinstalling or restorig the file"
The problem is that none of the programs installed on the SD-card runs. They all get the above error.
I can not install any programs (reg editors) because i again get the above message. My registry editor that is already installed wont work, and i can not install anything.
I have tried Googling the problem and i've also searched the forums here in XDA. But i have not found anything that actually might work, because they all wants to install something. I can not install anything, and all of my 3'rd party apps doesn't work.
How do i disable the certificate verification without having to install anything or run any 3'rd part apps??
Is there maybe any program that i can run from my Win7 computer??
Thanks for all informing answers..

Certificate problem?
Exactly the same thing happens to me. Bump!

I'm also having this problem, seems to affect .exe files regardless of whether they are on the SD Card or on the device itself. Same cause as well.

2 reasons may be:
Either you run a stock rom and you need to install certinstaller search here on xda or run a custom rom
Or the sdcard is corrupt so you have to reformat
When you post issues pls give details as well like what hspl, rom, radio you use so people could help you out

Hmm, yeah, it's a stock ROM (for now). I cant't install anything so the certinstaller can't help me.... Now i have to find out how to run a custom ROM.
I have also reformatted the SD-cart with no luck.
My (for now) stock phone:
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR
Radio: 2.06.51.07

Using a custom ROM as a base for Android will heed much better results.
Full instructions for flashing a custom ROM are found here (and here for TMOUS HD2).
^^^ Also I notice you have an old radio (2.06). I'm quite sure you need a 2.10 or 2.12 radio for Android...most people seem to have had the best results from 2.12. You will learn how to do that in the link above I just gave you.

As well, there are programs that allow you to edit the registry while connected via activesync that don't require installing anything on the phone.

Case closed
Well, it seemed like a good time to reset the phone now...
While having this problem, i upgraded the SPL with no problem.
Downloaded the newest Dutty-rom, and tried to upgrade, but because no 3'rd part progs will run, this didn't work. I had to hard reset the phone, and then upgrade the ROM and then the Radio.
Everything seems OK so far...
Thanks for all replies

any luck? i m having the same problem

[Q] [problem] Android wont install

hello,
I have a problem with Android installation, the 1st things is CLRCAD wont launch, and when i start Haret, it shows the black screen (which is normal) then it take a while and finaly just reboot the phone into Windows OS,
to make it clear,
I searched the forum before posting
I tried many android version, and it's all the time the same problem,
I was using android on my phone before
I formated the SDcard
My phone is flashed, and I'm using Enery ROM
if any solution, please help,

clrcad is an executable that won't actually launch anything, you just run it and then move on to haret.
you reformatted the card and searched, so that's good, but starting a thread definitely isn't the right way. ask in the Q&A or in a relevant thread would keep the place clutter-free.
anyways, you have the Android folder on the root of the sd card? the instructions for each build will be clearer, but most follow this rule. have you also tried another sd card, just in case?

have you tried doing a task29? if you have one of the SD card adapters for the microSD you can plug it direct into your computer and use windows to do the FAT32 format (not just FAT, make sure its FAT32) and reflash your preferred radio and rom combo for winmo. then drop on a fresh copy of android and run it. (i recommend redownloading your favorite build as well)
also......
why did you post the new thread here in development? thats breaking one of the biggest forum rules you say you always follow..... sad.

Check you RAM in WM. If it's 320mb, you can't run Android for now...

i know i assumed you have a htc leo since you posted here but i just want to make sure.
and give us details.as much as you can.

- htc leo 576 MB RAM size
- Manila version 2.5.20181527.0
- radio 2.08.50.05
- Rom thedarkone (dexter)
- Model # HTC HD2 T8585
- OS 5.2.23148

I am running my HD2 on the stock ROM: RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe with SPL 3.03 (Stock, not HSPL). I read carefully instructions, and followed all steps, I am not going to describe them, used following Android build [30.11.2010] MDJ FroYo HD v. 4.0 [Kernel: MDJ S7.3HD].
After Haret.exe HD2 reseted, and there was only white screen with HTC logo quite a while. I soft reseted the phone, and after that reset almost all programs are unable to start, with following message: "The file ‘cecmd’cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found". It does not mean where are they installed, SD card or Phone storage. But not all of them, e.g. Opera 10 still runs. It also refuses to install new programs, installation process immediately ends, with "Installation was unsuccessful" ((
I digged the forum, and somewhere it was proposed to change registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies DWord = 0000101a - Change value from 0 to 1
But I can not do so: I can not run the registry editor, which I have on my HD2 (Total Commander), I can not install new, or install a tweak, and also when trying to edit registry from my PC through activesync connection with CE Registry Editor and Mobile registry editor it returns with error "access denied".
I do not want to make hard reset. I think there should be a solution, other than HR or flashing new cooked ROM.
Thank you in advance.

I found the solution Special THANKS to JZ SmartMort
Following simple steps:
1) Download following file: http://www.internet-tools.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sda_unlock.zip
From archive we need only SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe
It allows Registry to be edited from PC.
Run it with working Activesync connection
2) Download Mobile Registry Editor: http://www.zipsoft.ru/catalog/mobile_registry_editor-v1_11.html
Also run with working Activesync connection
3) and modify the following keys to the values listed.
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101b","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001005","4 0")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101a","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001001","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001017","2 4")
It perfectly worked with HD2, but I guess it should work with all WM devices.
FYI, here are some other useful software packages that relax the security.

Hi - I think your response here may have answered my thread as well The end of this dream..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859504

There one thing you can do to run Android on your HD2. yes, I have an HD2 too and currently T-Mobile. 8 month experience with it.
I noticed your Radio is 2.08. There is a latest version which is 2.15.50.14. If you flash your radio, it might going to work. Try it though.
Since you already got HardSPL, you are good to flash radio. Get the 2.15.50.14 in the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787

Problem with Market (Unforced closes)

Hi all,
I have a big problem with my HD2. Sooner or later the market does an unforced close everytime I try to install an app. These two errors appear:
android.process.media
com.android.vending
I really tried everthing that came in my mind to fix this problem like deleting the cache an all those things.
These are the roms I tested (all with the same problem):
- Dillapse 5.0
- BoyPPC
- Typhoon CM7
- HyperDroid
I tried it on two HD2s:
- German T-Mobile
- German O2
I did the flashing process like this:
- Install HSPL 2.08
- Install Task29
- Install RadioROM 2.15
- Install Magldr 1.13
- Install Partition Layout
- Double Wipe
- Install Rom with CWM 3.0.0.2.5 (also tried with DAF)
I really like Android, the performance and features are much better than the native windows for the HD2, but this is really bad for a fluently usage. Can please somebody help me?
Thanks and greets
Tom

There is one best ROM you haven't try. Pure gingerbread 2.3.4
Follow my sig.

Ok I'll try, but is it possible that all those other ROMs don't work?

Ok this is what you should do. As soon as you successfully install a ROM you see a welcome screen right? Get pass those and get into the market, log in and stay sync. The rest google will do all for you.

That's the easiest way. Remember that you'll louse EVERYTHING personal on your phone...
Also, there is a third rom ATM, but it requires more work to get to the latest version. Although it allows for more flexible features and updating..

Try installing a better rom such as YukiXBMod, PDA's, or HD2O at 8107. I've been using WP7 and it has been by far the best OS I've ever used.
The speed of the phone also depends on your SD card. If it's sluggish, more than likely, your card isn't compatible.

all the roms available are in that thread. i'm using HD2O and it's fantastic. I'm not going back to Android. everything runs much smoother and i use my phone more rather trying to customize it like on the android.
and your SD card says only 200mb available because when you flashed WP7, it locked your SD card. there are only a few ways to unlock it.
i suggest you reflash WP7 again. It's a great OS.

you simply not read instructions (tutorial) how to install this ROM.... you already ask this question under ROM topic....

You are flashing the rom incorrectly.
Under the rom thread you wish to flash, please read the instructions first. All the Rom creators usually edit their thread to make sure the instructions are included. The instructions are also included in the DWI.exe file. You are just not reading it.
1. Turn off the phone completely.
2. Turn it back on and hold the shut down button until you reach the MAGLDR screen.
3. Press the green button on "USB Flash"
4. On your screen, it will load and say USB Flash ready!
5. Unrar the files and place them somewhere like your desktop.
6. Open "DWI.exe" and make sure you Ran it as ADMINISTRATOR.
7. Read everything or simply skim through it.
8. Keep clicking Next and watch everything finish on both your computer and phone screen.
9. Wait for it to boot up. It usually takes around 5-10 minutes.

Excellent and thanks very much. Too much head spinning information on sticky and almost gave up. Following linked guide took me less than 1hr and that including some partition errors + sd card not recognised msg on first try. Missed the part :
2.GO to services and activate the last 24mb of RAM
3.Also in services do format MBR
Now need activation. Just a quick one: can I change the sim(number) after received the code? Or the code is only valid for given phone number to MS chat agent?
cheers.

dont worry give your original number...code is valid only for the live account...

Actually, Activation works
Tried on different phones, different rom, different SN (all HD2 though) different sims (also no sim) and different live account. Activation just always works.

Code is for a live account.. But you can use it on another account after 30days if the earlier account stays unused / withdrawn.... So you can use it on different phones, and and yes on different accounts too.. The problem comes when you want to install the same app you have on one phone-live account from marketplace...again on another phone with same account.... It says already installed
