[Q] Android on HTC Touch Pro (Problems and Questions)

Hi,
I want to install Android on my HTC Touch pro. Now I've done a bit of research but I still ain't sure.
I Live in Malta, and bought an unlocked phone from the UK (eBay). I downloaded the XDAndroid thing from the XDAndroid Wiki but I don't know which is my exact model. I went with the RAPH800, and when I ran it, it seemed to get stuck on the booting. it said something about a bug :S I only could pull off the battery, as nothing else would work.
So, Im back to step one.
1. Which exactly is my phone model?
2. If it was the RAPH800, does it normally get stuck on 'bug KENDEL' something like that
3. How long does the booting take overall?
major props to any1 who helps me
EDIT: I also wanna do the Dual-Boot thing using using GenY-DualBOOT (got it from this website). Any1 can help me doing that, and if its worth it or no
Thanks guys.
P.S. I'm a noob, so I need very detailed instructions

OK, I have a new problem. i downloaded another installer, and it didn't crash. (There was a default SETUP.txt file so I used that. I'm getting to the XDAndroid screen, but then some grainy aindroid toolbar comes, my phone vibrates, and stops there :S
Any ideas (pics to follow soon)

Pics are huge, like 2MB each, and it doesnt let me post from tinypic before 7 posts -.- Hopefully you know what I mean

As you can see, 3rd and 4th is where the problem arises. The other 2 are just there so you see what comes in the meantime.

Last BUMP. If I don't get helped, I'll just give up

This might not be the right section to post this in. I would suggest going to the android development section for your specific phone.

Out of it...

Hi, I've been on a volunteer project for 3 weeks and before that I had been keeping my phone stock (I was waiting for something I really liked to come out) I've unlocked my boot loader before but I flashed back to .83 and I got into the Moto beta program so I updated officially to the new .91
The problem is: I've been out of this for so long I literally have no clue how to install Alien (Build 4)
Can someone point me to the tutorials I need to follow (In order) to install Alien?\
I also think this could be useful for new Atrix users etc

Seriously?
Open your eyes and read! Or leave it...

OK, re-flash pudding like you were unlocking your bootloader again,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
then install cmw using fastboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
then install alien.
If you need more help then that, I would spend some time catching up, if you unlocked your bootloader before, not that much has changed since then.

You have nothing to contribute, and therefore nothing to say. Please act accordingly.
To the OP: CM7 has come out in a pre-beta form since you've been gone. I would try that and Alien both. See which one you like better...

Rooted phone refuses to activate fully

Hey there. I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy S5. Recently I realized the WiFi Hotspot I'm paying for just doesn't work. It enables. It allows devices to connect. It remains turned on. But any device that connects to my phone fails to achieve an Internet connection.
Yesterday I took my phone in to a Sprint representative who spent a valiant amount of time trying to fix my phone. Unfortunately when he entered ##72786#, the phone started an update process that completely screwed up my activation. I believe he later reprogrammed the phone, but the S5 is still obsessively trying to "finish" activating.

}
(fun fact: right now when I google "reporting firmware version to server ", nothing is returned. Maybe this'll put it on the map.)
When it's done trying, I see "firmware update not completed."
I've been seeing these messages since yesterday. And I hadn't no idea if any of this has to do with my device being rooted. Rooting is really all I've done, no ROMs or anything of that nature have been attempted... only SDFix and SELinux Mode Changer were run using it.
But I HAVE had activation woes before. When I enabled tethering on my phone, it took the better part of the day for sprint to reactivate it. And I was flying, so the process took several major cities before its success. And this was well before I rooted.
Tl;dr is it possible to use the stock Hotspot and reactivate your sprint phone while rooted with your device in a Custom status?

.... bump
I'm probably just going to factory reset my phone. Is it safe to do when rooted?

Yeah, it's safe. I've never heard of such a problem so let us know if it works after f.resetting it

I did it via Samsung Kies... this seemed safest. I used to have negative experiences with custom ROMS and ultimately decided this was the best way to go forward.
P.S. Kies is like iTunes but it doesn't suck and it doesn't require a whole lot of authentication. I just learned this. I did a text message backup and restore and that worked great. An app backup was a lot more hit-and-miss; only the apps were backed up, not the data.

So you fixed it this way? ☺

Did Factory Reset fix the message="reporting firmware version to server ", as I'm considering doing it...Thank You...

[Q] Noob just softbricked a fresh S4

Since Sprint decided to pull the plug on WiMAX, I had to get rid of my trusty Evo 4G for a S4. Rooted with Odin, but followed an ancient guide on youtube to get tether unlocked without reading the comments. Now I'm stuck at a yellow "Sprint Spark" screen. Tried a hard reset (a few times), no change.
I think I need to flash a stock rom, but I have no clue which one I should use (and am fearing breaking more stuff). At this point, I just want to get the phone usable .. probably as stock as possible for now. The phone is brand new, assuming 4.4.2? Not sure if there's a way to check exactly what it was running. Recovery says KOT49H.L720VPUFNAE
Any advice, is much appreciated

Maybe, but 250 pages is a lot to sort through (no offense). Does a stock rom (no root) even exist?

Can't unlock the bootloader

I followed all the steps, waited my time and now when I try to unlock it I get this error.

I tried with XiaoMiTool and I get an error 20040.
I don't know what to do.

If it helps the Chinese says something like phone use not reach enough time try later or something.
I left the phone turned off since I requested to unlock it and got my 172 hours of wait

I found this to add some more context.

You should have used your phone during waiting, it is said explicitly, maybe this is the problem

Ok, so apparently I didn't follow the steps as good as I thought.
My bad.
So now, I just wait and I will be able to unlock it? How long?
I'm using the device, of course.

I also faced this problem and i try to find old Mi flash unlock and found version 2.2.624.14 which i dont need to wait .

So, did you unlock your bootloader with that version?
EDIT: I can confirm I could unlock my device with that version. THANKS A LOT.

It works! thanks
