First i want to say thanks to all the developers that got involved to make this possible. Their hard work and sleepless nights are greatly appreciated.
I tried so many combinations of ROM's and Radio's that i gave up and nearly lost hope until a friend of mine at work found the perfect combination of Windows Mobile and Android to load on the US Tmobile HD2. Maybe i should buy him lunch tomorrow .
I think many are experiencing the issues i had, soooo.... I wanted to share this information and show you all little lost sheep out there how to get to the light at the end of the tunnel.
If you want to start from scratch, meaning from the factory ROM on the phone, then do what i did and follow the instructions below in the same order i performed them. If you are savvy enough to follow along without starting from a stock ROM, then more power to you. These steps are for the dummies like me who are out there and cant follow instructions.
Again this is for the US-TMobile HD2's. I dont know that this will work for the EU HD2's. Try at your own risk.
Step 1
Install the TMO Stock ROM. Click Here
Step 2
Root your TMO Stock ROM by installing 2.08.HardSPL. Click Here
Step 3
Install Energy's "Stardard-Energy" ROM located on the US TMO forum but for your convenience.... Click Here
Step 4
Install Radio version 2.12.50.02.2. Click Here
Step 5
Copy shubCRAFT's "Android" folder to the root of your SD Card. Click Here
- (I edited the startup file to prevent the "cant access tty; job control turned off " error message, therefore this install should be plug and play.
- When the copy is complete, place the SD CARD back in your phone if not already, and run clrcad & haret from the Storage card.
- You can also use the auto boot loader .cab file on your WM rom to autoload Android. Click Here
Updated: 8/7/10
For those of you who are having issues and don't know how to modify the startup.txt file. Here is a copy of the startup.txt file without the "loop_partition=mmcblk0" command line. Click Here
Just copy the file to the Android folder and overwrite the existing one and you should be all set.
Step 6
Here is a new 1GB userdata.img download link. Click Here
The old one was giving issues with texting. If you guys want a bigger userdata file let me know. This will also fix any download issues from the Market and prevent low disk space errors when attempting to install an application from the SD card.
Update: 8/7/10
Here is a 4GB userdata.img for the ones that wanted a bigger file. Click Here
I'll have to try this. Keep having the static/echo problem no matter what radio I use. Currently I'm running ChuckyROMS and dan1j3l's Froyo build. Got one more radio to try and if that doesn't work, oh well, I'll try this combo.
As far as I remember I am using ChuckyDroid and Radio 12_50.2 and matt latest version and no echo/sod since yesterday and got about 20 hours out of battery life. Must mention I use the phone "alot" so my battery drains accordingly

Wow are you serious 20 hours ????
I'm using:
LEO_Cloudy_1.6 and Radio 2.12.50.02_2
mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.4
together with Cloudy AndroidLoader too
Working perfectly, no robotic voice
the new zimage is what kills the echo, nothing magical about it.
Frustrating!
Even with the new zimage, clean SD, I still get robo-voice. I refuse to clean out my stock TMOUS ROM / radio though...there has to be a fix that doesn't require me to do HSPL....(i own a mac...is there an easy way to do HSPL on a mac?)

U don'nt have to HSPL again to install the Radio, and neither will u lose any data, so just go ahead if an new radio will help resolving the robo-voise
Does flashing the stock tmo rom first really make a difference? I've flashed like crazy to get the best combo but haven't had the stock rom since I first flashed.
No matter what I do I'm still getting massive background noise (mic gain?) downloading energy + shubcraft now, let's see if this does it!
I can't say its perfect... it seems clear... just very low volume.. I do love how well this is all coming along!! what 2 weeks and it almost totally usable ?!?!

Its not the rom but the audio driver that the rom uses. Look for robotic sound problem thread in this section for the files.

You know guys, I really gotta say this. I think its really mestup that when you try to download the "Standard-Energy Rom" they give you the option to either pay them for a fast download or suffer through their agravating super slow download that they intentionally made that way for who ever doesnt wanna pay up.
I noticed the "Affiliate Program" they have which for those of you who dont know, it just means that every time someone goes and pays for the "super fast download", there is someone behind the scene getting paid for making you pay. That someone is usually the one who provides the link to that website.
Why am I exposing this? because who ever is doing this should at least have the curtesy to let us know it is NOT free to download and HE will make money when you choose to pay, not just thinking he's fooling people to a comission- which he is.
The last time I tried downloading for free, it took 2 1/2 hours and at the end I got a little "Error" message saying there was a problem downloading and the download could not be completed. - .. as expected for not paying up right?
How do I know this, because I AM an "Affiliate Marketer". I know how this stuff works, but I dont work this way.
has anyone realized this is a emulator .....lmao

Yeah you got it, thats the only "magical" thing. With the last Radio all Echos are gone and the Bad Backround noises too.
No one must try diff ROM and Radios anymore.
I use the Original 1.66 Stock ROM and Darkstones Desire v5 (my absolute favorit) and with the latest zimage the last Soundproblems are solved.
I only wait for GPS works in the v5, coz than it is the perfect build.
Thank you for this post! Very helpful

HÖÖÖÖÖÖ merry christmas waiting for video (fake?)
hmmmm
seems to be a sense build by the looks of it. I dont think its as easy as doing an over the air update to get it to install to NAND, although it would be halarious if it ended up being so easy. More info would be great. Im still on the side that screams "FAKE!" though.
really some type of details would be great at this point. heck what windows rom are you using ill try it myself.

I ask this cause i tracking NAND development all the time-there is no flashing yet...
please reply
Think he has only managed to run an over the air update - probable only updates android but will not be nand - chances are the update will screw his android build and will have to format his SD card... my thoughts anyway from the pictures.
I'll like to tell you guys but I don't know myself

build details? what android and or winmo build are you running so I can try to do it myself
My opinion and it is just opinion but what i think is he may be using a rom from a 2.1 build that is getting updated to 2.2 and it downloading it as an update for the orig phone. Will it work ???? Will it install to memory or sd card??? Heck stranger things have happen here on xda...... Why i dont think it will work is cause the download is just 25mb...... A full firware update would be much bigger I would think....
Even if it did work, it may flash a radio from a different device and brick the phone....I wouldn't do it....

I smell fake, but the logic behind it kinda works:
Modify a WinMo Update to contain Android and let the HD2 update. But there are to many things that have to be modified so it can be adopted to the HD2.
All it does is download the update and asks you if you want to install it which reboot the phone but does nothing since it just boots into windows mobile instead of the actual update.

I rooted my HTC Wildfire using Unrevoked (latest version) couple days ago, just found out Froyo avalible but cannot update because of this.
I am in UK on Vodaphone Wildfire (Unlocked to use o2 sim)

I tried some 2.2 update RUU but come up with customer ID error
Have I lost out on froyo?
I got my vodaphone_buzz ota downloaded (50mb avg) but cant use it
Any help would be very much appriciated
*** Im not fussed if i lose root, infact i rather not have it tbh the hassle it gave***
Flash it with Wildpuzzle?
You could flash it with a new ROM like wildpuzzle or similar if you want sence. You can see this thread for available ROM's:

it's going to suck heavy for you if you download the actual froyo update, because you wont be able to root your phone again (unrevoked hasn't come out with an update that works on froyo)

I am pretty sure you are doing something seriously wrong. I have tested most of the custom ROM's out there (Currently on WildPuzzle coz I kinda prefer LWP and Sense), and, they have never (hardly, if ever), crashed on me.
Besides, I just checked the Sunnabh thread, it hardly looks like self praise. Most of them have just said the exact thing the ROM author claims his ROM does, that it is stable. That said, if you are not satisfied, kindly move on, and, dont bad mouth the ROM author. He is not obliged to provide you with "stable" (as per your definiton) ROMs.
Get the OTA FroYo update, and enjoy your Wildfire.
Cheers

Then what's all the patches for, mate ?
You picked the "works perfect" posts and quote it in first page.
How about I quote all the "not working" posts and "do you have a patch" posts ?
Your work should speak not the keyboard. Its totally unwarranted from your side to do anything like that. I have never seen any other developer design such a page.

If I read the thread correctly, I think it is written as "ADDON PACKAGES and INSTALLERS". And, I guess, the name should be enough for you to know the meaning and the reason for the "patches", i.e., they are not bugfix packages or anything, but, additional functionalities which are upto the end user whether they want to install it or not.
It's not that if you dont get the patches, the ROM will crash on you a thousand times (If you do everything properly ,which, most of them have).
That apart, patch requests are again requests to improve the functionality and add convenience features, not bugfixes, which I came across the thread.

Thnx mate.. I dont understand what is his problem..
ANYWAY BACK ON TOPIC:
I noticed that the app called "SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse" (google it) has an option for unrooting...I haven't personally tried it (ended up using Unrevoked Linux LIVECD to root).
Let us know how it goes.
I noticed everyone is just focusing on flashing the wildfire with custom rom. Isn't there other ways like faking the signature so the update can still be installed?
I have the same problem, when I tried the OTA update it fails with message "invalid signature". I guess the rom installer is checking the signature of the currently installed OS.
Maybe one solutions is to restore the original HTC 2.1-update1 rom then run the OTA froyo update. Then in the near future, there will be root solutions for Wildfire froyo.

Hello I am a total noob to Windows Phone 7 and I will be getting the Samsung Focus in the next week or two and I am planning on flashing(fully unlocking) it. I have done some research on this site and I heard that windowsbreaking method no longer works and the only way to unlock is by flashing a custom ROM. If so, what is the most stable WP7.8 custom ROM that is out for the Samsung Focus and is their a way to just unlock a stock ROM because I prefer to have my phone stock without anything added and don't worry I've modded stuff before :silly: just not WP7 devices :good:

You can't really tell if a phone's completely bricked or if the user is just... um.. unable to do things correctly. Not everyone's a geek and there are people who complain that things aren't working even if they're given clear instructions on how to do it.
I just flashed with the Dynamic 2.0 ROM and it's working great. It does have a bug that I want to report (I have less than 10 posts), but I'll do it soon.
If there's someone else looking at this, here's the bug:
In XBox, when you shake your avatar and make him/her fall down, one of the animations when he gets up is to be pissed and pull the screen to a side so that the games list appears. This ROM (like the Tango ROM I installed before this) mirrors the action. He seems to be pulling on the opposite side of the screen instead. It looks awkward, and I know this is something that worked fine with my vanilla 7.5.
Hello I was wondering if anyone could guide me in to look for tool/program to root/unlock my samsung focus so i can update to 7.8.. I dont know what happend to the camera and it wont work anymore.. its still stock from when I bought it.

There's basically 2 step you have to go through to install custom rom:
1) Install MAGLDR
2) Install Custom Rom of your choice
-Link below is for MAGLDR download, read and follow the direction, (download DFT_Summy_Rainbow.zip) Chances are you'll be asked to download several different software to make it work properly on your computer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485569
-For 7.8 rom, try the link below for Dynamic 2.0 (that is if your Samsung Focus is rev. 1.3) It will take 10 to 15 minutes to install fully, so be patient, don't panic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016769
I would highly recommend you goto YOUTUBE and search for "Samsung focus custom rom" and watch the videos very carefully.

By far and away, and with the utmost respect to every contributing developer here or there, the most stable 7.8 ROM for the Focus is the 3.05 Clean ROM from Voluptuary. I've had every single Rev 1.3 or Rev 1.4 Rom released for this device and this one is the smoothest. Tiles open and close beautifully, artist match the artwork, no file errors, no unreasonable battery issues, even has a xap file deployer in place for the straight talk xaml. It's just solid all the way around.
Good luck and I hope this helps. Located under Samsung Focus Development. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528984

Just be patient, make sure you read things through a couple times first and don't be too quick and screw your devices lol This one won't, but I've seen buddies do it. Make sure your contacts and photos are backed via outlook and skydrive or whatever you use, just generally cover your butt. Have Zune downloaded and installed and have your phone charged up a about half way or so. Once you get the hang of it, it's prety simple. Have WinZip or something installed so you can unzip it and the whole thing takes like 10 minutes.

[update 25th February: modem now semi-working! Here's a pic ]
Hi all,
I'm excited to announce the availability of the inaugural release of SailfishOS for the M7 (GSM variant).
Instructions, information and download links are available here.
The adaptation is very much a work in progress: modem and camera not yet functional being the largest of the issues but we're actively working on them and hope to have functionality in place in the coming weeks. Regarding the US variants, the Sprint version has been successfully tested but public images for this adaptation are not yet available. There is an outside chance the 'vanilla' M7 SailfishOS image will function when paired with the appropriate Cyanogenmod 11.0 release but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it and don't have a device/am in the wrong continent to test.
So if you have an M7 kicking around that you don't use as your daily or are keen to see what is going on beyond the world of Android please take this for a spin. Who knows, you might even like it.
We chat about all* of our hardware adaptations on FreeNode in the #sailfishos-porters channel if you want to drop by.

Hi all,

I'm excited to announce the availability of the inaugural release of SailfishOS for the M7 (GSM variant).
Instructions, information and download links are available here.

Could a mod *pretty please* let me post links? (or post them for me, or another user post them, don't mind, I just want to share the info)
Never mind. Found it myself: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/Install_SailfishOS_for_m7
Could you say how long it will be till we can expect a ROM with gsm working or are there problems you can't say how long it will take to solve them?

Days hopefully but probably weeks. The modem is there and detected but I'm having difficulty turning it on. Once that's solved it should (hopefully!) Just Work(tm).
I am installing this rom on my HTC m7. Thank you so much. Will love to assist you people in any way possible.
Update:
Everything works perfectly except, GSM, camera and store. Have played with it for around half an hour. There is another bug with power off menu. It got stucked when i tried to do so forcing me to soft reset my mobile. And i tried adding my sim card and after the reboot it get stucked in boot loop.
Hoping to see fully working SFOS in nearest future.

Touch screen not work my device :crying:
Hi all!
Happy to say that I have managed to get some modem support working this afternoon. I'll do my best to bake an image tonight. Where we're at at the moment:
* Modem functional but currently not showing SIM status correctly in UI
* SMS sending and receiving works
* Mobile data works (and shows correctly in the UI
* Call functionality works: can make and receive calls, however call audio not currently working
These are all problems that other devices have had in the past, and they all have solutions so I am going to work as quickly as I can to get them resolved and make an image in with fixes.

Sorry to hear. Your device is definitely a GSM m7? could you try re-flashing and see if it persists? if it does, are you happy using linux tools? we can debug it together.

That's great to hear. Once I have the modem properly working I will need help both for testing but also to enable store support (I need to send two IMEIs to Jolla so they can verify that the port works properly. Regarding your boot loop, the SIM should make no difference but I have noticed that the boot can sometimes be upset if the phone is started whilst plugged into a computer:- the GUI sometimes never comes up. I'm working on that but it only happens to me maybe 1 in 10 times so it's low down my list of priorities.

ok so sailfish is a fully blown linux distribution, means that once it's booted, even if the gui is messed up you can still SSH into it and ask it what it's doing (similar to adb shell). I just need to go RTFM how to make Windows recognise the USB network that your phone is presenting when you plug it in.

Thanks for your help.
I tried 3 times,
I'm doing the setup with the following steps
1- Full wipe
2- İnstal "cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-m7"
3- Shutdown and Powered up again by launching android
4- Reboot Recovery and instal "sailfishos-m7-release-2.0.0.10-sg-rel-201602180750.zip", and reboot again
5-Normaly boot but touch does not work in the language of choice
Sorry for my bad english

Your English is fine!
ok so your steps 1) and 2) only need to be done once:- Sailfish relies on the CM version for hardware support but once CM has been installed, when you install the SFOS zip it goes next to the CM /system and /data.
4) You're using an older SFOS image: does this one work: http://images.devaamo.fi/sfe/m7/sfe...s-m7-release-2.0.0.10-sg-rel-201602191147.zip
Out of interest, in step 3, does touch work?
No am sorry
Perhaps in a different firmware version required, because the power button works. Maybe that's enough for tonight I'll try again tomorrow. Thank you, good night

Thanks for all your hard work. I am really impatient for your next release. These fixes are really important and one m7 will be my daily driver for next few months .
