[Q] What's installed & how do I update it?

Hello
My girlfriend borrowed her dads HD2, and now it stopped working. She talked to him and most likely it requires an update of Android.
I'm usually pretty tech-savvy, but the language spoken on this forum is beyond my comprehension.
So, I have a HD2 with both win & Android installed. To boot into Android i need to go into windows and press two files on the SD-card: "CLRCAD" & "HARET".
The files look like this in Windows (pc):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Her dad mentioned Boxmax 6.5, so I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100560
The files I downloaded from there looks pretty similar, aside from a few additions on the phone.
Downloaded the SD-one, but now i'm lost.
How do I update the phone? Just overwrite the files with the new ones or clean install? If it's a clean install, how do i do it? Do i need to backup something?

Backup all files on the SD card to a safe place (pc).
Delete folder Android on the card.
Copy the Android folder from the archive you downloaded.
Pop the SD card back into HD2, and start Android from winMo (clrcad, haret) or better yet install the exceller autoboot.

Thanks alot, sounds easy enough
When i pop the things back on the SD-card from the backup-folder, I still need to install all the apps and widgets again right?
Edit: Oh, and what about all her messages? Are they stored on the phone?

Yeah, you usually use titanium backup, heh.
sent from my phone using my fingers

Thanks so far for all the help, I got it working fine except, and this might be a really n00bish question, how do I turn off the phone?
Nevermind, found Quickboot

I think glei's point was, your post might be a bit too vague to be helpful to someone who comes here looking for clear directions on how to easily root android. Although the addition of the link helps.

3) Then go to settings > storage > unmount sd card.
4) Go to your phone menu and copy the Poot app to the homescreen of ur mob, then go to ur phone menu and open the poot app then it will require you to install Ministro II, Simply follow the link to Google play store.
5) Then you will be required to update ministro library, please update it.
6) Once you updated the Ministro Library then you will be faced with two options;
1. “Press here to Poot”
2. “Built in root check”
7) Click on the first option which is “Press here to Poot” and after a while, ur phone screen will get black.
Once ur screen got black and u r not able to do anything then remove da battery nd switch on ur mob.
9) While memory card is checking by the phone den fasyly open da pool app which is on the homescreen of ur mobile and click on "press here to poot".
10) Then u should get three options will be listed thus;
1. Get Superuser
2. Get root-checker
3. In-built rootchecker

Not DHD specific, and we have enough one-click-root tools as it is, if this even works in the first place. Closed

[SOLVED] Secure Settings crashed error message

Hi I ran into this issue before but I forget how I fixed it. I thought it was from not having enough free space on internal/external SD cards but I cleaned it up a little and it didn't seem to fix it. I also tried force closing, clearing data/cache for app, uninstalling, reinstalled it, and activated as a device administrator successfully but it doesn't open/work with Tasker.

I had problems with SS when I was using the helper app. But after using Helper Alternative under the SS Helper Tab everything works as it should. I believe it installed SS as a system app so you don't need the Helper app.

Thanks for the response! It's fixed now by using ROM Toolbox Pro's app manager to convert it to a system app and then had to restart the phone
Had to do it before after restoring from a backup and it just slipped my mind

No need to use Ron Toolbox. Just go to the SS app, go to the helper tab and click Alternative Helper. SS will do the rest.

Oh! Missed that part. Let us know if installing it as system app works then.
Edit: See that it solved it. Good

I tried all the above solutions and still not fixed, Secure Settings keeps crashing before start.

Well, the first question is, have you rooted your phone? If you haven't then it's a pointless endeavour to try move apps to SD card.

That application just ensures you have write access to the SD card and since RomAur is a stock based rom, it doesn't have "app2sd" support or rather, kitkat doesn't have that support.
Thats my understanding of the situation, I could be wrong.

Sorry mate, I cannot help further. You will need root access to modify built in files.
