It should be.zip, not tar. You downloaded a kernel, not rom.

I managed to do it probably the easiest thing to do is to download this archive at megaupload.com/?d=55XORRPE and just follow the instructions in .pdf its very simple

How to Install Android on HTC HD2? - Step-by-Step Guide

I've been searching around for quite a bit now and can't find a guide that's easy enough for me to understand.
I'm trying to install this ROM on my HD2: (Android 4.0.4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
I've read through it multiple times but can't figure out what are they steps I need to follow in order to get it running. I also tried the search function and couldn't find anything I could easily understand. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm really new to this stuff.
So, does anyone know of a good, simple step-by-step guide to to install Android on the HD2? Thanks! :laugh: :good:

Installing Android is pretty tricky for beginners.
When I first started, this was the guide that helped me the most:
http://www.htchd2android.com/how-to/how-to-install-android-on-htc-hd2-android-4-0-4/
It's really easy to follow and helped me tremendously. I used their 4.0.3 guide back when I did mine, but that one looks to be very similar and uses a newer version.
Hope that works out for you. :good:

Thanks for the link, I haven't really had time to look through it yet but I'll be sure to check it out now.
BTW, is that a good ROM to use or would you suggest another one? Thanks again.

[Q] Upgrade A500 to Acer_A500_041.205.01_COM_GEN2 Rom

Sorry for opening a new thread but the search was failed for that specific rom.
I bought a A500 from a friend of mine with the HC 3.2.1 build Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2 and the OTA propose the upgrade to Acer_A500_041.205.01_COM_GEN2.
Now the tablet is not rooted and other but I don't knows what I'll need tomorrow. Do you believe that if I accept the update in the future I'll be in the pickle?
I don't want to cry in the future only bacause today I've accepted too quick.
Is there something I've to pay attention to?
Thanks

Some folks experienced wifi disconnects with the ics OTA....that's about it, lol....a lot of folks got stuck on the acer boot screen after the update, which means using an EUU to downgrade to HC to get booting again.
My advice....get yr cpuid now, if things go bad yr cpuid is the only thing that will save you. You can take the OTA if you have trouble you can get yourself sorted bbut only if you have yr cpuid! !!
I'd also backup your files, photos etc and do a format (factory data reset in Settings) and give yr system a nice clean start.
You can flash skrilax_cz v8 bootloader, this enables you to install custom ics/jb roms and a recovery so you can nandroid
backup.
There are sticky' 's and guides galore, you have a lot of reading to do to get the most of your iconia....
Hope this helps a bit

Thanks for the tip but you forgot the most important advise in my case:
"don't leave the tablet at home with your wife using it!"
This should be mandatory because when you come back home you'll find a new tablet. When the tablet ask to your wife if she desider upgrade the os, don't mind your raccomandation: <Do Not Accept> she think: <why not?> especcially with 40% of battery and wifi not stable and in poor cover!
In other words the upgrade was done!
2 advantages:
1 - fixed the problem doing or not the upgrade
2 - I saw the tablet in use after the upgrade and I didn't spent a lot of time asking myself if it will be briket at the end ... all was fine :good:
Now the new OS is:
Android Version: 4.0.3
Kernel version: 2.6.39.4+
Image version: Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1
Build number: Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1
Image P/N: FM.S14A0.00Y
It seems to work fine except for the OS language that is mandatory to select English: I'm Italian but this language was present in HC and no more here. The right punishment to my wife! I don't know if it is possible to add the Italian, is it possible?
Following your suggestion I got the CPUid reading the file /sys/firmware/fuse/acer_cpu_id am I right?
Now following to your suggestion i'll start to surf internet for some good basic guide to squeeze the best from my Iconia.
Saving the contained data is not an issue for the moment. the Iconia was 5 days old and no significative data are there.
My first planned step will be the rooting and I thought to follow ...orum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350
Is it the right choice with my new OS?
In the future probably I'll step up to JB but for doing that I need some good reading. Can you suggest a good starting point for a newbie as I am?
Thank in advance

use ICSROOT tool by blackthund3r, easily found on here

There are 3 guides in my sig...even tho u have yr cpuid have a read of that guide, lots of updates and general info there.
Civato's unlocked bootloader sticky and any of his custom roms
Blackthund3r has sticky of all stock roms. He also has some good info on his site if you can get to it.
acer hasn't updated this thing for a year so custom roms are the way to go...I'm still using cm10 flex rom does everything i need it to and runs flawlessly. ..but it is a matter of personal taste so just try one and see.
Remember: rooting does not give you the ability to install a custom recovery, you need the v8 for that
Good luck!!
OT: Btw...interesting name you have 'Mauri' is it a nicknane? In my native country language it means breath or the life giving force - I've never seen it outside New Zealand?

I found the menu but the selection is among 4 languages: English, Espanol, Francais, Portuguese.
So if there is no addon it will stay in English. Is not a big deal.

If I well understood there are 2 different methods. The 1st use the tool 7.1.1 that could work or not (explained here xxtp://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350). If it doesn't it's mandatory follow the 2nd one that is more complex (explained here xxtp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823421)
Am I in the right path?
About the ICS root 7.1.1 tool I plan to activate all the option except the last one (Don't Reboot after installation ...) and I plan to remove AcerNidus. Do you agree?

I'll do but I wish do with calm to deep understand the contents. When i start a guide after 10 lines find a jump to another and so and so and often I loose myself

This is my exact ideea but it will take a while ... I don't wont make errors and brick the tablet. The tablet doesn't contain important data but cost a while

I didn't yet depth the topic but will install the V8 before CM10. At the moment I'm not prepared for this step ... I need to study!

Xperia E4 FULL ROOT ACCESS

Well after spending a lot of time on this phone I managed to get full root access
Instructions :
Download Kingo (Search good due I can't post any link.)
Install and run kingo.
Now just connect your phone in debugging mode at your pc.(How to find debug more? Look the pictures below!)
Press "ROOT" on the Kingo program and let it until it says "Root was successfully"
After that just see a small tune you can do to your mediatek processor!
You're done,now your have full root access!! Have fun!!
(AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK DOWN YOUR PHONE!MAKE IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK!!)

Sounds good! Someone else has tested? :cyclops:

Am working on the source code of the kernel stand by! And if any moderator can create a section for Xperia E4 would be great for the new user of this phone!

I am trying on the 4.4.4 right now, for a light version of it!! Any help would be grateful!! :highfive:

my first question is: Somehow, please solve it to work for link2sd. It would be very good!
ps.: Second question is: Please kill the system notifications! (New update relased, energy tips etc...)

problem rooting S5369

HI guys, I was looking at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085390 about rooting the S5360 (I have a s5369) but when I try to flash the update included in the thread I get an error, screenshot attached (the error says E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7) Installation aborted)
Any idea?

Try this one instead, otherwise I will edit the updater-script of your package to make it compatible with your model. I think that you will able to install GT-S5360 ROMs on it, but can you give me technical details about your phone ?
Regards

Hi thank you for that. I tried your link but I don't seem to be able to download anything from there, it's just an empty blank page (not sure if the mega protocol isn't supported or what). If you could put it elsewhere I'll download and try it.
What technical details would you like me to give you? ANdroid version etc? GT-S5369, android 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.35.7
Let me know if you need anything else
thank you for your help

Here's an another link ! I want some informations about the processor ect .. Just to check if the specs are the same with the GT-S5360 model. You're welcome !

Thanks mate, unfortunately even that link doesn't work, the page times out (tried yesterday and today with same result in different browsers). As for more details, I downloaded CPU-z and took some screenshots, attached, hopefully that will help you, let me know if you need more:

You will able to install normally GT-S5360 roms, they have the same specs. I joined the root access enable ZIP package. If I helped you, don't hesitate to use the little button below or if you need something else tell me !

thanks for the file, but if that's the same as the one found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085390 then I tried it already and my phone doesn't like it, I posted the error message at the beginning of the thread

Oops sorry ! Here's the fixed one.

Brilliant, thanks. The installation of the new file was successful, no errors and now I have superuser, so presumably the phone is now rooted.
Thanks for your help. In terms of android version, do you know where I can find a list of stable versions I can install? I checked cyanogen mod but I couldn't find my model
thanks

Yes, you're now rooted ! Check the GT-S5360 development subforum and you will find a lot of ROMs, but for CyanogenMod, every ported version (7,9,11) has its specific bugs and you will need to choose the one which suits you. If you need any help, just mention me on your post ! Regards.

Fab, thank you very much for all your help, much appreciated.
