Need some serious hel.

Hi everyone, I'm new to installing Android to the Vogue and I haven't the slightest idea where to start. I've tried multiple times but always seem to mess up with everything. Can anyone give me a step by step tutorial or even make the folders for me so that i can put it in my SD card, let me know and thank you guys for your help. Also if possible and anyone would want to help and make the folders for me I would like an eclair build.

were you planning on running android on NAND (which is where windows mobile is now) or off your sd card.

I was planning on running it off NAND, any suggestions?

Your phone is already unlocked?
Seeing that you have never run Android before you may want to try a few builds on SD card first to see which one you like, and have the flexability to go back to Windows Mobile. A class 6 microSDHC card is pretty comparable to NAND speedwise in my opinion.

would recommend one of the donut builds (plemen, myn). both guys make a fast and stable donut, GPS and bluetooth work great. since I've got a bit of time, here's a step by step with links to take you from a ground zero unlocked vogue to running android on your nand (fastest way, replaces windows mobile). this has been written up a few times before, but today is your lucky day
read the entire set of instructions before getting started.
BEFORE STARTING
1. know that there are multiple ways to flash a rom to your phone. here are a few
a. using windows, get a flashing package from one of the xda devels, and replace the RUU_signed.nbh file in that package with whatever you are trying to flash (try NFSFAN's package, it has always worked well for me for this; some carrier packages don't work), renamed the same way
b. use a 2GB or smaller micro SD card with the .nbh named VOGUIMG.NBH in root, then place the phone in bootloader mode (see #2)
c. use linux and HTCFlasher - don't know much more about this method, find it here
2. if flashing from a computer, I always recommend flashing from the bootloader, NOT through active sync. enter bootloader: hold down power and camera, then press and release reset, wait for the tricolor screen. then connect to usb, and flash away
3. Flashing etiquette: I always flash everything twice, back to back, for good measure. while the phone is flashing, don't move it, don't open programs, don't surf the internet, just leave your phone and computer alone, hands off. and don't flash from a virtual machine; trust me, just don't.
4. Have patience. There are steps that will take minutes to complete. Just wait. If you are not sure is something is happening or if the phone is frozen, put the phone down and go do something else for at least 10 minutes.
GET STARTED
1. unlock your phone (cokeman's unlocker, hardSPL 2.31).
2. flash a "GPS capable shipped rom" from post 1 here. make sure you have working phone, working data, and working GPS (if you are on verizon and have problems getting GPS to work, see here - thx drewden123.
3. upgrade to the bell 3.42.50 radio, find the radio only version here. flash it the same way you flash any other ROM - you can use a rom package to flash it, just rename it to RUU_signed.nbh and replace the one in the package with it, then flash away)
4. download the necessary files. you'll need:
a. a rom in the form of androidinstall.tgz from this forum. a couple of great donut options are myn's and plemen's and plemen's
b. a .nbh found at sourceforge. the sourceforge page contains both stable builds, and the latest betas - don't know what to use? see this thread. choose your resolution based on the recommendations of the chef (the rom builder), also read here.
5. create a folder on the root of your micro sd card called andboot
6. place your androidinstall.tgz file in the andboot folder
7. flash your .nbh file by placing your phone in bootloader mode, and using one of the above flashing methods
8. as soon as the phone reboots (it should vibrate), hold down this button to enter the install menu like your life depended on it until the boot menu pops up
9. in the top half of the boot menu are your booting/file storage settings. for nand, select "sys on nand" and "data on nand" (other options will work too, but for your standard nand install, I would go with this)
10. go down to "1. install system" and click it. at this point it doesn't matter, but on the second screen that pops up go ahead and choose wipe data as well. when swapping between builds in the future, it is recommended to start with a new data file for best results. however, if it is the same class of build (i.e. between two donut builds), keeping your data.img file and simply using the "clear dalvik cache" should keep you running smooth without having to change all of your settings again.
11. wait for the install menu to re-appear. when it does, scroll down to "9. quit" and click it.
12. wait. keep waiting. in fact, step away from your phone. when you come back, turn the screen on, you should see the Donut lock screen!
OTHER NOTES
1. to reflash windows, simply enter bootloader mode, and flash your windows rom
2. buttons in android: see here.

wow thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed, once I get everything going I will let you know, currently I'm running NFSFAN's Final 6.5 ROM, its great and all but I need me some Android. Thanks again for your help and I will keep you posted.

2. buttons in android:
-top power: short press = turn on power, wake screen, menu. 1-second long press = toggle keyboard. 2-second long press = toggle portrait/landscape orientation
-volume slider: volume
-camera: short press = back. 1-second long press = home
-green: short press = call log. long press = voice dialer
-red: short press = sleep screen. long press = phone option menu (power off, airplane mode, silent, etc)
-enter, direction keys = standard functions

If only we had someone to sticky this. Great post only need to add info about the market and resolution and I bet this forum would be 95% reduced in clutter.

[borat voice] Very nice!
Now you'll just have to post in every thread "please see my signature"

Tatnai, I just want to thank you for your post. I was able to flash myn's build of andriod to nand yesterday after going through maybe five different threads(all with slightly differing methods). After reading your instructions, I am relieved that I did it correctly.
Quick a question just to verify. When I want to reflash to a newer build of andriod in the future, I'd just have to place the correct .nbh file in root, androidinstall.tar file in the andboot folder and hold volume up?

they may be changing around the .nbh file stuff, so this answer is depending on what happens with that, BUT... you shouldn't need to flash a new .nbh to change your system unless you need to change resolution. if you don't, read on.
NOTE: the process is the same whether running on NAND, or on SD card (ext2 or regular sd). Just don't mess with the boxes at the top of the install menu that say where your sys and data are installed.
TO RUN AN UPDATE that someone has provided in their thread for their build:
1. place the androidupdate.tar in the /andboot folder on your sd card
2. reboot your phone, hold this button until you see the install menu
3. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "Install update". click yes on the popup menu that notifies you that this will adjust the system files.
4. wait. it will eventually finish and kick you back to the install menu
5. go to "quit" and click it.
TO CHANGE FROM ONE ROM TO ANOTHER (same class, i.e. donut to donut)
Note: if you have a data.img, you technically should be able to keep it while moving between ROMs of the same class (i.e. donut rom to a donut rom, or eclair to eclair rom). just make sure to clear the dalvik cache before the new one boots up. however, if there are any problems, the first thing you should then do is wipe your existing data.img using the install menu and the boot your new system allowing it to create a fresh one.
1. place the new ROM file (androidinstall.tgz) into the /andboot folder on the root of your sd card, overwriting any previous install file that was there before
2. reboot your phone, hold this button until you see the install menu
3. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "backup /data", then select "yes" to overwrite old backups (btw, you can rename any databackup.img in the /andboot folder to anything you want to keep multiple backups; when you want to revert to a particular data.img backup, just rename it to databackup.img before going to the install menu). this will give you a backup of your current data just in case something goes wrong. it will take a while to complete, and eventually take you back to the install menu.
4. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "clear dalvik cache". allow this to run, it will return you to the install menu when complete.
5. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "Install system". click "yes" on the popup menu that notifies you that this will overwrite the system files. a second popup will open asking if you want to wipe your /data, select "no" for this to keep your current data file. once it installs, you will be returned to the install menu.
6. select "quit" from the bottom of the menu. this should boot android. first boot after clearing the dalvik cache, installing a new system, or wiping a data.img will take a while, just be patient
TO CHANGE FROM ONE ROM TO ANOTHER (different class, i.e. donut to eclair, or cupcake to donut)
Note: I would not recommend keeping your data.img while switching between different versions of android.
1. place the new ROM file (androidinstall.tgz) into the /andboot folder on the root of your sd card, overwriting any previous install file that was there before
2. reboot your phone, hold down this button until you see the install menu
3. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "backup /data", click ok to overwrite old backups (btw, you can rename any databackup.img in the /andboot folder to anything you want to keep multiple backups; when you want to revert to a particular data.img backup, just rename it to databackup.img before going to the install menu). this will give you a backup of your current data for future use, i.e. if you decide to return back to that version of android. it will take a while to complete, and eventually take you back to the install menu.
4. from the bottom portion of that menu, select "Install system". click "yes" on the popup menu that notifies you that this will overwrite the system files. a second popup will open asking if you want to wipe your /data, select "yes" to delete the current data file. once it installs, you will be returned to the install menu.
6. select "quit" from the bottom of the menu. this should boot android. first boot after clearing the dalvik cache, installing a new system, or wiping a data.img will take a while, just be patient.

Thanks again for the information. I and I'm sure others appreciate it. I hope your FAQ thread will get stickied.

I keep get an error when I am trying to install from NAND, it says Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt, anyone have any clues?? I am trying to install SenseHERO 1.4 and I am using the NAND kit posted with the UpdateROM utility. Any suggestions?

Nice work

Is there anyone in nj that can help me install this damn android on the vogue.. ive tried all the methods and nothing seems to work.. can it be the microSD card?? the files im using?? ive been trying to use every single build out there and nothing seems to work..

Beginners GUIDE:Rooting a HTC Dream(T-Mobile G1) and Installing CYANOGENMOD 6 (FROYO)

So I spent about 5-6 hours a few days ago searching for a full tutorial of rooting a T-mobile G1 (HTC Dream) and then installing Android 2.2 Froyo on it (Cyanogenmod 6).
I could not find a full guide anywhere and I ended up using like 5 different sites, going though a million pages, and ended up flashing unstable builds like 4 times so it was a huge headache! So I am creating a full tutorial here for all newbs like me so that all the info is consolidated into one place. =)
I FOUND THIS TO BE THE EASIEST METHOD OF ROOTING A G1 AND INSTALLING A STABLE BUILD OF FROYO.
THIS IS DESIGNED FOR THE COMPLETE BEGINNER!!
I HAVE THIS ON MY G1 WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL!!!

4. BACKUP ANY FILES THAT YOU WANT ONTO YOUR COMPUTER. VERY IMPORTANT!
5. Go back to my computer and right click on the drive that is your sd card. Click format. Choose FAT32 from the drop down and hit the format button. This removes all data from your memory card.
6. Once the format is complete: drag and drop "DREAIMG.nbh & Update.zip files that you downloaded into the sd card. (DO NOT create a folder or anything, just put it right in the SD card)
7. Unmount your phone by going through the notification bar and then unplug your phone Turn your phone off. from your computer.

Thanks. Yah rebooting the thing didn't brick it. Still trying to understand why you are dropping a default ROM image, prior to going to 2.2 but meh....*shrugs* Got it. =) Thanks for the guide.

Awesome! Glad it worked for you.

Hi,
Thank you for those nice tips.
I just have a problem when I have to reboot in recovery mode. My G1 stays on my provider screen (Orange FR)
My G1 is rooted.
I tried to use flashrec 1.1.2 and download the recovery img from the web, and it works but i don't see all the options required to make the partitions you ask.
Have you any solution for me ? (Another recovery img ?)
Thanks

Hey,
So I did some research on your issue and was not able to find any other fix other than downgrading to RC29 (the Dreaimg.nbh file) and then trying the process over again.
Something must have gone wrong when you were flashing the recovery image.
I will continue to see if I can figure out how this may have happened and provide some feedback.

Awesome tutorial, dood. It took me hours to figure out the whole root thing when I rooted my first G1 and eventually the whole process ended being a combination of multiple tutorials. Took even longer to find a stable ROM I could use as a daily driver. Big-Ups, yo!
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App

I think I found the problem ...
I made the all process again and the problem seems to be here:

Hey so after looking at the screen shot it looks like you have a Rogers Dream with an EBI1 (3.22.xx) radio. I found some info here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=RE-recovery-img
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4647751
Looks like you need this recovery image instead:
rapidshare.com/files/387561073/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0R.img
Let me know.

Thread moved to G1 General.

Thanks
Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot. I followed all steps in exact order!

If you look at the CyanogenMod Wiki Page thats one of the first things listed to do.
Nice guide and all but the page has its own guide how to get there fully - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Dream

Good guide. I'm sure it will help out a lot of newbies. You should probably post his somewhere like the tmobile forums where more people will be able to use it. Just so you know, a few of the things you list are redundant and it can be shortened quite a bit. For example, with CM6 there is no need to partition the SD (for now), and swap is only ever helpful in Hero Sense UI roms. I'll help you cut some of the fat from it.

I) Formatting the SD Card and Downgrading to RC29(YOU WILL DELETE EVERYTHING OFF YOUR SD CARD!)
No need to format the SD card before rooting. The sdcard is FAT32 by default.
1. Plug your USB cable into your computer and then plug your phone in.
2. Mount your SD card by sliding down the notification bar and selecting mount.
3. Go to My Computer and access your SD card.
4. drag and drop "DREAIMG.nbh & Update.zip files that you downloaded into the sd card. (DO NOT create a folder or anything, just put it right in the SD card)
7. Unmount your phone by going through the notification bar and then unplug your phone Turn your phone off. from your computer.
8. Press and hold the camera+end key until until you see a screen with colored bars, then let go. This is the bootloader. The screen will turn gray with blue writing on it.
9. Hit the end key to start the update. DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THIS IS DONE!
10. Once it is finished it press the trackball to reboot. (If it goes back the the colored bar screen and doesn't reboot try holding the home+menu+end key, if this doesn't work, just remove the batter and put it back in and turn the phone on)
11. Once the phone is on, just turn it back off.
12. Now press the Home+End Key until you see a triangle with an exclamation point in it (this is recovery mode). Once you see this let go of the buttons.
13. Open the keyboard and press ALT and L, and then Press ALT and S. Now wait until the phone reboots (it will do this automatically once the update is applied) (Don't worry if you see picture of a box and a g1 or a chip with an arrow)
14. Once the phone reboots, go ahead and and go through the welcome guide and get to the home screen.
II) Flashing a Recovery Image
1. Now with your phone at the home screen, go to settings>applications> an turn on unknown sources.
2. Now go to settings>SD card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card
4. Go back to the home screen and plug and mount the phone to the computer again as you did earlier.
5. Place the following files you downloaded earlier right into the sd card: FlashRec.apk, and Amon Ra's Recovery Image (Again not in any folder or anything, just on the sd card)
6. Once they are transferred go ahead and unmount and unplug your phone from the computer
7. Go and download a file manager from the android market (I suggest LINDA FILE MANAGER)
8. Once downloaded, open the file manager and go to SD card, and click the FlashRec.apk file and then click install. If it asks -> Tell it to use package installer to open it (it probably wont ask but if it does)
9. Once installed click open (it will be on bottom left of screen)
10. Then click the button that says "backup recovery image"
11. Once it says "backup complete" open the keyboard and type the following: /sdcard/recovery.img
12. The click "flash custom recover image" and wit until it says "Flash complete"
13. Go back to the home screen and then turn off the phone.
14. Turn the phone back on into recovery mode by holding down the home and power buttons. You will see a bunch of text on top of a black background with an HTC logo in the middle.
III) Partitioning and Loading the latest radio
It's redundant tohave an ext partition on CM6. No apps to EXT yet.
8. Once the Upgrade is complete hit the "back" button to get back to the main menu. Then scroll down and select "USB-MS Toggle" and wait for it to enable.
9. Now plug the phone into the computer again. Now transfer the files downloaded earlier: G1 Radio, G1 HardSPL, Generic G1 Rom w/ root, to the phone. (AGAIN KEEP THE FILES JUST IN THE SD CARD AND NOT IN A FOLDER OR SOMETHING)
10. Once the transfer is complete hit the Home key to disable the USB-MS toggle and return back to the main menu of recovery mode. Unplug your phone.
11. Scroll down and select "Flash .zip from SDcard"
12. Select the G1 Radio file (named OTA Radio or something like that) and hit the Home key to confirm. DO NOT SELECT ANY OTHER FILE, THE RADIO MUST BE DONE FIRST.
13. Once the Radio Flash is complete Press Home+Back to reboot the phone. It will then say "writing radio image" and then reboot back into recover mode (this will take some time)
Hard SPL? psssht. After the radio update, you should either install an engineering SPL like 1.33.2003 or 1.33.2005. Note that the .2005 SPL is called danger. If flashed with an incompatible radio img (any 1.x radio), you will brick your phone. The .2003 spl is safe coming from stock 0.95.0000, so you can flash that with or without the radio image. 1.33.2005 is more useful though because it had 89 MB on /system vs 67.5 MB on stock. This should be flashed through fastboot, part of adb (android debug bridge)
IV)Installing CYANOGENMOD 6 (Android 2.2 Froyo for HTC DREAM)
1. Once back into Android, turn the phone back off.
2. Hold the Home+Back keys to turn the phone on and get it back into recovery mode
3. Select "USB-MS Toggle" and wait for it to enable
4. Once enabled, plug your phone in and transfer the CYANOGENMOD6 and GAPPS file ito your SD card/phone. (again not in any folder, just in the sd card)
5. Once the files are transferred, press the Home key to disable USB-MS Toggle and return to the main menu, and then unplug your phone.
6. Scroll down and select "wipe" and then select "wipe data / factory reset" and then hit the Home key to confirm. Wait for it to finish the wipe. It will say "Data wipe complete"
7. Hit the back key to return to the main menu.
8. Scroll and select "Flash Zip from SDCard"
9. Select the CYANOGENMOD 6 ROM Named something like "update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC1-signed.zip" and hit Home to confirm and wait for it to finish.
10. Once finished it will go back to the main menu and say "Install from SD Card Complete"
11. Go back to "Flash Zip from SDCard"
12. Select the Gapps File Named something like "gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3-signed.zip" and click home to confirm.
13. Once it is finished you should be back at the main menu. Select "Reboot System Now" and wait for the phone to reboot.
14. The reboot will take some time, (roughly 5-10 minutes) so don't freak out. Just put your phone down and go do something =)
From here I suggest navigation to steeings->CM settings and turning on CC, turn off dithering, and lower vm heap size to 12. Also, go to ADW settings->UI settings and check system performance. Reboot the phone.
CONGRATS! YOU have successfully rooted your G1 and installed CYANOGENMOD 6 (ANDROID 2.2 Froyo)
From here I suggest installing ADB on your computer. It gives you access to fastboot to flash dangerous files like DANGER spl and radio's safely, push files to the phone, make backups, run shell commands, and LOGCAT! If you get any FC's, run adb logcat and send the log to the dev! it make's finding bugs so much easier.

I think I removed enough things to make it a little shorter. I am not sure which SPL you are referring to as Hard spl. Can you reboot via camara+power and tell me what your hboot version is? Also you should probably look at firerats custom MTD partitions thread, it means that you don't need danger anymore.

Great write-up, worked perfectly - even for an android newb like me
Thanks for the help
Have a good one

For example, with CM6 there is no need to partition the SD (for now), and swap is only ever helpful in Hero Sense UI roms.

Wait... you mean we don't need to go through all the angst of 'should I / shouldn't I' over DangerSPL any more, if only I'd known that 20 minuters ago, ( didn't brick anything, but I did worry somewhat ).
And I'll just go repartiton my SD card again shall I? Lmao...... Yeah, new(ish) G1, you'd think I'd have learned to search and read more by now huh?
Excellent guide though, as a complete G1 noob it got me though it with a little less confusion than some other guides, ( I mean how do you flash a radio if you never did it before, most other guides assume you know how, or do not explicitly guide you through that step, given DangerSPL's reputation, I'd have considered that almost obligatory).
Happily running my favoured CM5 again, yes I know the guide is for CM6, but I stepped off the guide just a little to go for eclair rather than froyo ( almost feel guilty saying it, but it's just the same as my Nand flashed Kaiser now, perhaps a bit faster).
Thanks and cookies (off to do a little userbar and sig work )

Curious about Hard/Danger
Is that right? CM6 works with HardSPL just as with DangerSPL? Same apps (not neutered at all)?
Gonna try this guide with HardSPL for the first time. I haven't found actual evidence of performance differences, so if I notice anything I'll post back. I had rooted and install CM5.0.8 on another friends G1. We'll see how this goes. Thanks for the guide.

No Hardspl won't work unless you use firerat's mtd hack.

Good guide! Im excieted to see so many positive posts.
I however have run into a problem.
During this step:
8. Press and hold the camera+end key until until you see a screen with colored bars, then let go. This is the bootloader. The screen will turn gray with blue writing on it.
9. Hit the end key to start the update. DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THIS IS DONE!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The screen does not go grey with blue writing. It stays light blue/white and gives the two options.
Do you want to start update?
<action> yes
<power> no
If I hit the end key it goes back to <send> fast boot mode and does nothing at really. Is this right? I left it for an hour and nothing has happened at all. I have no indication that it is doing anything.

Ok so I had to hit the action button instead. Sorry I'm learning as I go here basically.

[FAQ][HOW-TO]Qiuck FAQ for NAND ROMs PROBLEMS

1. I am a complete n00b, but I want Android on my HD2
You should check this splendid tutorial here, if you havent already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
2. I installed Android, but I cannot root my phone
Go for z4root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
Thanx to teh developers
3. I have robo voice
Turn on speaker while in call, and then end the call immediately, this should help untill next reboot. You might try with a new radio.
4. I have a low volume while in call
Replace the original "htcleo.acdb" existing in the following locations with the one attached.
/etc/firmware/
and
system/etc/firmware/
View attachment LowVolumeFix.rar
Thank you goes to Life Engineer for this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10399494&postcount=433
Alternative link and method for solving the low call volume.
5. I dont have enough space on my phone
1. Before flashing your phone, you can edit the flash.cfg file and change the following line:
cache ya 40M >>to>> cache ya 15M
This reduces the cache by 25M with no discernible impact on the speed of the build (imo).
This should give you in excess of 130MB free after a clean flash. Expect that to drop to around 100MB once Market, Flash and a couple of other apps update themselves.
2. Immediate install Z4root to root your device.
Put it on your SD card and then install a file manager from the Market to browse to it and then install and run. Follow the details on the thread... (Note: it may get stuck on 'Rebooting'. Wait a minute or so and then manually reboot - it will work fine and SuperUser will now work after the reboot)
3. Install Move2SD. You can get it from the Market.You can get it from here.
This allows you to move most (not quite all) apps to SD. It is the best option I have found to move most of those awkward apps.
I have now installed pretty much all of my apps that I used to run on non-NAND builds and have moved about 90%+ of them to the SD card. At time of writing I have loads of apps installed and still have over 70MB free
Thank you goes to Mark5 for this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10239301&postcount=1798
6. I have some battery issues
1. Install Battery Monitor Widget or CurrentWidget from the Market so that you have a way of tracking your current usage.
2. Install Set CPU - free for XDA members from here, but also available on the Market.
After setting your Main Screen to 'OnDemand' and 'Set on Boot', assign SetCPU a couple of profiles. I tend to use:
>> Screen Off: Max/Min 245000, Scaling 'OnDemand', Priority 50%
>> Battery <25% Max 384000/Min 245000, Scaling 'OnDemand', Priority 50%
You can play to your hearts content here, but these give me consistently 7ma in Standby.
Also, you can reduced the sampling rate to 20000 and 'Set on Boot' in Advanced if you like.
3. Avoid power hungry background stuff like animated wallpapers and turn off GPS, Wireless etc. There are LOADS of apps out there that can do this automatically for you free from the market, but I have found that making sure my GPS is off (I have a widget to show me) plus SetCPU is plenty. It may work for you though.
4. Some have reported that Darkstone's suggestion makes a major difference to their power consumption:
"To fix high power drain / usage in standby (60mA or 70mA) disable 'Use wireless networks' in Settings>Location menu. You will now get 7mA or less constantly. I discovered this as the main culprit last night. Also works in other builds."
Thank you goes to Mark5, again.
7. I have no 3G/data, it used to work well with WinMo
You should go
Home Screen>Menu button>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names>Menu Button>New APN
Then you should fill everything needed. If you dont know the right settings for you, you should search for APN settings in this sub-forum. There are thousands of posts with settings in the Cotulla ROM threat alone. Some dedicated TMOUS ROMS come with working APN out of the box
You might look at this blog, too:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2010/09/03/how-to-enable-3g-data-connection-on-android-htc-hd2/
THE GPS threat has moved to the next post
I read these questions thousands of times, that is why I wrote this FAQ. Some of these tips have helped me, some have helped others. I hope this helps as well

8. GPS is not working/gets the fix too slow
A few people mentioned that GPS has not been working. This is what I (always) do with a new build (both NAND and SD), and so far, it's been working.
1. Use file explorer capable of editing system files to edit the file /system/etc/gps.conf (I use Root Explorer but unfortunately this is paid software; not tried with free version of Astro or ES, and it is possible that they can work too.)
2. Make sure that the bit after "NTP_SERVER=" goes with your location. I believe that as provided, it's "north-america.pool.ntp.org". If you live outside North America, as I do, edit to the appropriate server--as listed at the NTP POOL PROJECT (google for that).
3. The very first attempted GPS lock tends to take longer, often in the minutes. But after that, even if I switch off and on the GPS, it only takes a few seconds to acquire a lock.
This is added by me to the original post, taken from the post mentioned...
Code:
# cat /system/etc/gps.conf
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
Breakdown of contents:
NTP server is used to get accurate time, without you can't get a correct GPS loc.
XTRA is the GPS Satellite position servers.
SUPL is the Location server uses for A-GPS. in this case Google's own.
Thank you goes to Daelyn for the original post and to Claus72 for pointing this info out.

The GPS servers are here:http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/bg
4. Sometimes GPS becomes more responsive after a fresh soft reset.
5. Look for "GPS Status" in Marketplace. This app is able to reset the state of the GPS chip and download A-GPS data. Seems to help a little.

Thank you goes to Theory and lms1407
6. You can try FasterFix, too. Thanx to the developer
7. Some Android voodoo, which seems to help some, I read it originally here
Tried a method which seems to have solved the problem (I hope). Downloaded app "GPS Status" from Android market.
Then followed instructions as found on this site
Originally advice for Nexus One owners:
Take your SIM out of the Nexus One
Power on the device
Turn WiFi on
Turn GPS on
Open application: GPS Status
Go into its Settings menu
Click on GPS and Sensors
Click Manage A-GPS state
Click Reset
Click Manage A-GPS state again
Click Download
Now put your phone on a stable, straight surface in order to enable the phone to get a lock. This time, you’ll see your phone get the lock back way faster than before.
With that done, now it’s time to put your SIM back in and use the network to secure a quick GPS fix as well.
As I said this has worked for me so far. Let me know if it helps any of you

9. The Definite Guide: How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 w ClockWorkMod Recovery
After a lot of reading, I collect the following, just for my own aid. I hope it will be proved useful to others.
(A few posts after this one, in the same thread, you can find the following guides, also:
How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 WITHOUT ClockWorkMod Recovery
&
FLASHING A NEW NAND ANDROID ROM OVER A PREVIOUS ONE (without clockwork mod))
So here it is:
How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 with ClockWorkMod Recovery
(updated 12 March 2011)
Prerequisites
HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
Radio that support 576 RAM (ex. radio ROM 2.15)
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader
ClockworkMod Recovery
Make sure that you have all the prerequisites installed.
STEPS:
A: Install HSPL3
B: Install radio ROM 2.15
C: Install MAGLDR on HTC HD2
D: ClockworkMod Recovery
E: NAND Android on HTC HD2 with ClockWorkMod Recovery
A: Install HSPL3
Prerequisites
* Windows Mobile Device Center installed on Windows Vista / Windows 7 or
* ActiveSync installed on Windows XP
* You must have any SPL version from this list on your device:
o SPL 1.42.0000
o SPL 1.62.0000
o SPL 1.66.0000
o SPL 2.07.0000
o SPL 2.08.0000
o SPL 2.10.0000
(To check your SPL version, hold the Volume Down button and do a reset)
You should have this SPL version unless you are using the latest 3.14 ROM with SPL 3.03.0000. No worry, just downgrade your Windows Mobile ROM from v3.14 to v1.66 will do. Download HTC HD2 v1.66 ROM. Then downgrade your phone from SPL 3.03.0000 to SPL 1.42.000.
Step by Step Guide
1. Power off your phone.
2. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
3. It will load into bootloader.
4. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-1.42.
5. Take off the battery.
6. Power on your phone.
7. Connect USB cable from PC to phone after Windows Mobile loaded.
8. Select ‘ActiveSync’ and click ‘Done’.
9. Open HSPL3_PKG.zip with 7-Zip.
10. Copy HSPL3_PKG.exe to desktop.
11. Execute HSPL3_PKG.
12. Follow onscreen instructions to install.
13. Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
14. Bootloader will be loaded with USB status during starting of installation.
15. Select ’2.08.HSPL’ to install.
16. After installation, you should see ‘We hacked it!’ on your phone.
17. Click on ‘Yes’ and your phone should be rebooted and load into Windows Mobile.
18. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
19. To verify, power off your phone.
20. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
21. It will load into bootloader.
22. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
23. That’s all.
B: Install Custom Radio ROM
Prerequisites
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
In order to flash custom radio ROM, you need to have HSPL3 installed on your HTC HD2. By the way, I used Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 on my guide. You can use it or any other HTC HD2 Radio ROM version.
HTC HD2 has 576 MB physical RAM but was reduced by software to 512 MB only. And custom Windows Mobile ROM + radio 2.07 or above can unlock it to be 576 MB again. Certain custom Windows Mobile ROM need higher radio version than your phone. And NAND Android requires it too. So you need to install custom radio ROM (if you don’t have the correct radio version).
Step by Step Guide
1. Power off your phone.
2. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
3. It will load into bootloader.
4. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
5. Take off the battery.
6. Power on your phone.
7. I have R 2.06.51.07 at bottom of the screen with green HTC Logo.
8. Connect USB cable from PC to phone after Windows Mobile loaded.
9. Select ‘ActiveSync’ and click ‘Done’.
10. Open Radio Leo 2.15.50.14.rar with 7-Zip.
11. Copy CustomRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh to desktop.
12. Execute CustomRUU.
13. Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
14. Follow onscreen instructions to install.
15. Bootloader will be loaded with USB status during starting of installation. (~10 minutes)
16. Phone will be rebooted after installation finished.
17. You should have R 2.15.50.14 at bottom of the screen with green HTC Logo.
18. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
19. That’s all.

NAND ROM - Android rom, flashed in NANd memory, just like WM6.5 is. It replaces WM. Opposite to SDCARD ROMs which relies on WM to run the ANdroid build, which is located on the SDCARD.
Free size - depends on the ROM you picked, read 1 post of the ROM threat.
Please, read how to flash NAND Android for newbies first, if you want to take this step...

I deleted your download link because the file was an ad free version of Angry Birds which I assume is a warez cracked version. If you can prove this is a free download version then you can put the link back up but if its warez then please do not post those kinds of files on xda as they are not allowed and will result with an infraction on your account.

I have a question regarding the gps.conf file. Is it ok if I add multiple NTP servers for example.
NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

Will doing something like this help. I have tried the editing gps.conf file to my location and it has not helped. Rarely do I get a GPS lock.

I live in Bulgaria, of source Mine fix is faster than the one I get with the HDH.... But a few users report that after doing all of the above still do not get the fix
Why dont you try with the country you are in, or with
Code:
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
Just delete the numbers at the beginning...

What build are you using? If it's Gingerbread, this won't help, whatever you do...
Great post!
Bravo!
Just one thing,
3. I have robo voice
Turn on speaker while in call, and then end the call immediately, this should help untill next reboot. You might try with a new radio.

SD card issue after flashing gingerbread ????
Hello Senior,
Just one question here..I booted my HD2 with windows 7 post doing magldr112 & everything went fine..I removed my SD card as it was needed in the process & after installation inserted it back thinking windows 7 will recognize it..Though it didnt & i realized windows 7 dont yet have any hack through which it can identify an sd card on HTC HD2..So i flashed nand android gingerbread [ Build :- [16 JAN] Pure Gingerbread gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v6 [RMNET][NAND][Kernel: gpc#2] over it through same magldr 112 & sd card was still there in the phone while flashing..Now it flashed successfully & everything is working fine except my sd card is not being recognized..Also when i tried to format it from settings..it says "Damaged sd card"..Is there a way i could get my 8 gig sd card back to life or it wont work now at all..So i should go for a new one in that case !! Also my HD2 is not being synchronized with my pc as i connect it thru a USB..It isnt askinmg for any option like it did earlier

Format your sd card using the attached tool which was written especially for removeable media. Go into the options and change FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT to 'ON' and it should format your card with the correct size and bring it back to life. You can then use it in your phone again without any problems.

At the time of my post I was MDJ's Cyanogen Gingerbread v2.4. Now I have moved on to v2.5. So what you are telling me is that changing this file to my location.pool.ntp.org will not help on gingerbread? It's better to leave the gps.conf file as it it?
Edit: Even with v2.5 which has the gps fix built in my phone takes a long time to get a lock even in an open field. Almost in the range of 3 - 4 minutes.

I'm kinda noob, but how do I get to this \system gps.config file? I mean I can't acces the phone memory or find it on the sd card.

Hi Senior,
I just have 114MB internal memory on my new "android phone"!!
Is this normal? I can't download any apps that you can't move to your SD anymore.
Can you help me?

Think I just found it by using Astro file manager.
I searched in the phone root for gps, then I found gps.config and opened it as a text. After that I chanced america for nl.
Is that the right way?
Wait guess it is because I just got a fix

Bootloops again and again with every Rom I use

Hello Android user
First off all, sorry to bother you with this problem but I already used Google and the searchengine but I wasn't able to find a solution.
I have the HTC hd2 nand flashed with the newest maglrd version. (I am completely new in this scene)
I had Android 2.3.4 installed when I bought this phone but I wished to have an Android with HTC sense so I downloaded an nand Rom for hd2 but it was no use, I got always those screen freezes (boot loops) , till I took an autoinstaller from dark force team and know I am still messing up with a bad moddet 2.2 rom, could someone write an step by step tutorial for me?
I want to get 2.3.4 again (in the best case with sense)
I found a lot of other tuts but I can't understand the meaning of the steps because I am an noob, a tutorial for dummy would be great, I would really appreciate it !
Thanks a lot for reading my thread.
-Zakkusu
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

you must repartition your nand according to the needs of the rom.at first page of android nand thread there is hd2 nand tool kit dowload it. connect your phone to pc-in mgldr menu choose usb flasher-see usb flasher....usb-in toolkit choose appropriate partition sizes then click repartition. in addition if you are an eu hd2 user you should have sd-ext partition for sense roms.ifyou stuck ask again

Thanks Pal, I will try it !
Sounds pretty easy, I will contact you, if I stuck on my effort, but thanks for the
hint
Awesome !

Yeah AOSP roms (CM7, etc) use much smaller partitions than Sense roms. For example with a TMOUS HD2 a AOSP rom like Typhoon uses roughly 130mb system partion wheras a Sense rom use 390-400mb partition. If you do not change this and try to flash a Sense rom then you are essentially running out of space before the rom can be fully installed, ergo the bootloop.
Like the previous poster said, check the first page of each rom you download as they usually tell you what size partition to use. Some will even have a daf.exe file for you to flash the appropriate partion & recovery.
Good luck

Hay guys, thanks for your adives but it was no use, I still get those damn loops,
could anyone give me his instant messanger adress, so he could guide me through the installation.
I am pretty dessperate

In your opening post you say "screen freezes(bootloops)"
Which is it? Freezing or looping? Cos they're two different things.
Looping is often associated with power problems such as a bent battery pin, whilst freezing could be not clearing the data/cache/sdext partition, or overheating, (amongst various others)

Important Notice: If you were given a direct link to this post, edit step #8 and choose a ROM you prefer from the NAND sub-forum and edit step #11 and enter the values you get from the ROM's thread/OP.
HD2 Android NAND for dummies:
1-This tutorial assumes that you have HSPL already installed, your device is connected to your pc and you have the latest drivers, please carry on.
1a- Fully Charge your phone (use external charger, or manage yourself!)
2- Go to ksubedi's Thread and download his HD2 NAND Toolkit (thanks ksubedi!)
3- After Installing it, Power Off your device (HD2) and power on into bootloader mode (Power on while Holding Volume down)
4- After seeing ("Serial" changed to "USB") on your phone, run the toolkit with Administrator rights (default).
5-(Optional) From bottom right corner choose "Wipe (Task29)", go through the steps and when your device reboots go into bootloader again (Volume Down and Power On).
6- Choose from bottom right corner "Install MAGLDR", go through the process and when your phone restarts hold the power button (not the volume!)
7- MAGLDR Screen will appear, Go down (using volume rockers) to Option 5. USB Flasher and wait for it to say "wait USB".
8- Go to Tyween's Thread and download his ROM (Thanks tyween)
**8- Typhoon is a CM7 build not sense (Sense takes more NAND Space and can be somewhat laggy and slow )
9-After Downloading the MAG Build, put the ZIP file on your sd card and put it into your phone.
10- On the toolkit, from the top panel choose "MAGLDR Repartition" and from the left panel choose 150mb system partition and from the bottom set the cache size to 5mb then click on repartition and go through it.
11- Reboot your phone into MAGLDR screen (by holding the Power on button)
11-a (Optional) if you think you may need extra storage for your apps/games, create an ext3 or ext4 partition on your sdcard using Easeus Partition Manager on your PC.
12- Go to Option 8.Android Recovery (Using volume rockers) and hit the Green Button (Dial Button) to go to recovery.
13- A Black screen with orange/blue text will show up (This is recovery) go to "Install Zip from sd card" And then choose the second option then choose your recently downloaded ROM and hit green button, now look at step 13a before confirming, then hit yes.
13a- If you chose to create an ext partition on your sdcard in step 11-a, don't forget to either a-select NAND with DataOnExt when installing the ROM. (If supported by ROM) or b-flash an a2sd script after flashing the ROM immediately.
14-a Now it will begin the flashing process, just wait for it.
14-b when it finish, simply choose "Reboot system now" and let the device boot into Android.
14-c After the device has booted, dont touch your phone but let it initialize for at least 3 minutes before using it.
Is this what you asked for?
Please read the following F.A.Q before sending me any PMs or making a post!
F.A.Q:
Q: What do you mean by drivers in step #1?
A: Read this short post.
Q: In step #1, you say "HSPL". What is that? And how do I install it?
A: Read this.
Q: In step #7 my device never says "wait USB"?
A: Sometimes, it may be connected without "wait USB" appearing. You can try to continue without waiting for it. But if the flashing fails, you need to check your steps.
Q: I cannot find the MAG build for the ROM I want?
A: Recently, they have been combining both cLK and MAGLDR into one zip. If the developer doesn't mention cLK or MAGLDR, it's a universal zip so download it and install it.
Q: When installing the ROM, I was asked to use "PPP or RMNET". Which one do I choose?
A: Choose RMNET. (You can choose PPP, but it drops sometimes).
Q: I did all the steps but I am stuck in a bootloop, what do I do?
A: It could be anything, but mostly bad blocks. Increase the system partition by ~20MB.
Q: The ROM I want to use says "SD-EXT" or "EXT partition" is required. What does that mean?
A: It means step 11a is mandatory for you.

Haha !! it's 2 AM here , 1 hour left before we fast
I'm really glad that I helped you, and there are "simple, easy" tutorials floating everywhere, I dont think another one is essential

too big partition possible? Problems with Pyramid.
RAFdroid works perfect on my HD2 EU. Nand partition is 400.
When I try to install one of the available Pyramid ROMS, they all keep repeating the white/green "quietly brilliant" screen (One time I let it for 2 hours, but no effect). Is this because I did not change the NAND partition? It's bigger than needed. In recovery I allways do factory reset and whipe Dalvik cache.

change your nand partition.because it is much more bigger than the rom wants and this may cause problem.

Changing the NAND partition was the solution. Why do they use such a small partition in NAND, and such a big one on SD. Is the remaining NAND still in use for something?

Could some one of you recommond a android rom with 2.3.x with htc sense

the rom you have chosen doesnt boot without an sd-ext partition.this procedure will erase your sd.so make a backup to pc.this can be done at pc but i try to teach doing it at mgldr.in mgldr menu go to:ad recovery-advanced-partition sd card-2048m(since this rom is big i recommend this)-then 0 as swap(i use 128m to support ram but you shuld know that swap may harm your sd). now put your backup to sd:in mgldr ad recovery-mounts and storage-mount usb storage now your pc will see your sd.
