Since MrPippy no longer seems to be maintaining the thread over here, I figured I'd bring the latest way to properly run xdandroid on Touch Diamond CDMA devices. This has been tested on my Sprint Touch Diamond (DIAM500), your device may vary.
Android 2.2.2 (Froyo) for CDMA Diamond
Instructions:
From this xda post, download the XDANDROID build (currently 7/05/11).
From the XDANDROID zip file, extract AndroidApps/, conf/, media/, zImage, haret.exe, system.ext2, initrd.gz, modules-*.tar.gz, and rootfs.img into a directory called /andboot/ directory of your Internal Storage. If you extract the folder FRXnn/ (where the nn is the build) you can rename the folder to andboot/.
If you are using DIAM500 (Sprint's CDMA), navigate to FRXnn/STARTUPS/DIAM/DIAM500 inside the zip file, and extract the file called startup.txt into /andboot/ of your Internal Storage. These contain the necessary instructions for Haret to start Android on the Diamond. There are several other types of Diamond config file to try inside the zip file if you are not using Sprint's Touch Diamond, and should be renamed startup.txt if named differently.
The list of files you should have inside the Internal Storage should now look like:
/andboot/AndroidApps/*
/andboot/conf/froyo.user.conf
/andboot/media/*
/andboot/zImage
/andboot/haret.exe
/andboot/system.ext2
/andboot/initrd.gz
/andboot/modules-*.tar.gz
/andboot/rootfs.img
/andboot/startup.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want the older way of having everything in / (root) of the Internal Storage, just move everything from /andboot/ and also delete the argument rel_path=andboot from startup.txt.
Unplug the Diamond from the computer, and run /Internal Storage/andboot/haret.exe to start XDANDROID. If you have not done the calibration, there will be a white square with a cross that you will have to click on a few times. On first boot, it will take time for the system to set up the correct APN for data (usually a few minutes). If you get an error saying that no connection can be made, wait until the 3G icon appears on top before doing anything that requires data (Marketplace, etc.)
---
Optional: Download the latest rootfs Zip file from here.
Extract and rename the file rootfs-*.img to rootfs.img, and replace the one already in your Internal Storage.
Optional: Download the latest kernel bzip file from the links in the xdandroid post (several are provided) using 7Zip. Extract the modules-*.tar.gz and zImage.* file to your Internal Storage. You must then rename the zImage-* file to zImage after renaming/deleting the existing one. If you do not do this, Haret will not use the latest kernel file.
Caveats:
If you are running any previous versions of XDANDROID, it is highly recommended that you delete your data.img. This will wipe all your existing apps and data, but you can save your downloaded apps by going into /data/app and/or /data/app-private and copying it to /sdcard, but you need a root-capable file explorer.
GPS takes a while to get a position fix. It is working, but since there seems to be no AGPS support, it may take up to 15 min for the AGPS chip to get a fix on ephemeral data. Running QuickGPS from WM and keeping it updated seems to help a lot.
If you enable smart backlighting in WM, XDANDROID is unable to set the backlight level. Hopefully this will be addressed soon, since other devices (Rhodium, etc.) now has backlight support working.
If you still have trouble running XDANDROID, then make sure you post at least the following: What type of Diamond you have (model #), the startup.txt you are using (open it in Notepad to see the mtype), the build of XDANDROID you are using (along with any rootfs/kernel updates if applicable), and the last thing it does that you can see (ie. Haret reboots WM instead of running XDANDROID). Without this information, it isn't helping you or the person trying to help in order to figure out what may be going wrong.
A lot of information that applied to Andriod 2.1 (Eclair) also applies to 2.2 (Froyo), with the exception of where the files are located (/ vs. /andboot on the Internal Storage). I've kept Eclair-related instructions below.
Android 2.1 (Eclair) for CDMA Diamond Instructions: (for historic reasons)
From this xda post, download the latest XDANDROID build (currently 6/21/10).
From the XDANDROID 7z file, extract AndroidApps/, media/, zImage, haret.exe, system.ext2, initrd.gz, modules-*.tar.gz, and rootfs.img into the root of your Internal Storage. You must use a computer to extract this, none of the WM/Android apps have enough memory to extract the 7z file correctly!
Create (don't copy) a directory called conf/ on the root of your Internal Storage. Now navigate to conf/Diamond inside the 7z file, and extract the file called eclair.user.conf into the conf/ directory. This is important, you should have a file named conf/eclair.user.conf, not conf/Diamond/eclair.user.conf.
If you are using DIAM500 (Sprint's CDMA), navigate to STARTUP CONFIG/DIAM500 inside the 7z file, and extract the file called STARTUP.TXT into the root of your Internal Storage. If you are having problems with Haret restarting WM instead of booting, you can try the one inside CONFIG/DIAMOND100 or rename CONFIG/DIAM-STARTUP.TXT to STARTUP.TXT. Each file has a different MTYPE, and is most likely the cause of failure to boot into XDANDROID. (DIAM500 mtype 2040, DIAM100 mtype 1805, the unknown DIAM-STARTUP one uses mtype 1910)
Unplug the Diamond from the computer, and run haret.exe to start XDANDROID. On first boot, you cannot connect to Google's server until you have entered an APN (regression bug from 6/12/10.) Skip the account stuff for now, go into Settings→Wireless&Networks→Mobile Networks→APN, and create an APN with Name: Internet and APN: Internet. Press the Home key (to bring up the menu), Save, and then select the APN. You should get the 3G icon in a few seconds.

your not the only one im working on this myself im trying to recreate a zip with it working for diam 500 and the touch pro no matter where i get the files from haret has become a problem and i dont know why so i remaking the files using old haret
ok so i got it working tho got stuck at the sign in part entered my info and then it kept looping back asking for it again and again found the if you restart it youre all set as for gps got a fix in under 30 secs going to repack the files for anyone who wants it this will work for the sprint touch and touch pro if you want the files let me know be more than happy to email them
Good call on starting the new thread. Kind of strange that Mr. Pippy never said anything before he took off.
For pure convenience, it may be best for the OP to compile a weekly build with all necessary files. Noobs might fare better if babied along and that would also assist in keeping this thread focused on more pressing issues.
I keep running into: "failed to mount the Sd card"
Edit: NVM, found the solution
so ran the new droid all night no hiccups but noticed that the time isnt synced it was off by ten minutes tried out the nav. drove to work looked at the time again it was now off by almost 15 mins maybe someone can enlighten me on this issue or is it just me
The only error I am getting is a keyboard error.
I did all steps as described above but if I run on haret.exe it says something like starting linux... but it just restarts the mobile and windows is starting again...
do you have any glue whats wrong?

apparently this is common and its due to the lag at startup of transferring files from the sd card... just press wait and it shouldnt be an issue

wrong startup.txt? you'll needa post more info about the error probably
Fail?
i think its cuz its only diam 500 not all the other cdma´s like diam 100??
(i mean that fail about startup)
Has there been any progress on metro data yet? This is the only reason why i uninstalled it from my phone. There was progress porting the us cellular data which uses proxies like metropcs for the touch with the android. There have also been native droid devices ported to work on metro as well so in theory it should be possible if anyone wants to work on this drop me a pm or discuss it here.
ok there is a issue with haret i for one can vouch for it the new haret.exe does not boot properly i dont know why or what is wrong but i know the issue is around i have a old haret that i use and works great even the new build has the same problem now if i can only fix my clock sync issue ill be happy

this is all i'm waiting for too.
ok found a fix for the clock still no reboots up and running for 26 hours now been unplugs for 7 hours and im at 34 % battery talk time 27 mins and lets say 5 text messages id say thats damn good
Great How-To post, got it working on my Diamond without any issues at all. Learning how to actually use Android is another matter.
notes:
mapping doesn't work, I presume it's because the GPS stuff is not functional
some of the hardware buttons are a bit confusing, just a matter of experience but it will take some getting used to
the device EATS battery power, and gets crazy hot when you start playing with the browser and other Android apps'
lack of any USB connectivity (beyond charging) is sort of limiting, hopefully it will be improved
so far I'm so impressed with XDANDROID, not that I hate Windows mobile but it is a great way to preview Android, especially for people like me who've only use WM.

Follow Kireol's advice and move cab file to the device (then disconnect from PC) and use FILE Explorer to find it and then tap it to install.

do you think AT&T is trying to keep a brother down ?
ive read about flashing roms from the acctual kaiser... in noobie language i believe this means that i should try to find the operating system from the HTC kaiser (not the tilt) and install it instead of what ive got.
do i need to install anything before i install cab files?
haha the onlything ive gotten to install was Live Search and Google Maps...
Thank you,

My advice to you ... always install this "SdkCerts.cab" BEFORE you start anything else ( tweaks .. installing ...etc )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=52302&d=1190920271
found from this valuable thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
and then install this one next !! :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
after the "KaiserTweak" above is installed ... use it and turn the "security prompt" to OFF !! among other things ( optional )
now ... happy tweaking and installing anything you'd like
P.S ... since you haven't really done anything to it ( except maybe did screwed it up a little somehow ?? )... do a hard reset and then follow the above advice
per request i am going to detail everystep in my miserable attempt to install any cab on my phone.
1) crawl this forum/ youtube for progs i find interesting
2) download to my computer not changing anything
3) move the files via active sync to my device (not on the storage card... directly to my documents)
4) open file manager
5) double click my cab
6) click ok to unsucessful install notification
some freeky occurances that may help you isolate my issues.
1) i can not delete anything from the device. if i try to delete something from the mydocuments folder (or even rename it) i get a sharing violation. this is not the case when i am in active sync on my computer.
follow my advice above
one thing about the native file explorer ... it is CRAPOLA !!
I personally used "RESCO EXPLORER" ( not free )
difference ?? Resco ( and others ) will let you rename/replace/move files ...etc while the native one is restricted somehow.
and it comes with a registry editor that make changes STICK ... other editors might let you do the changes but a lot of people reported that changes reverts back after a soft reset ... not so with RESCO
and about the CAB file being in your "My Documents" ..etc ... it is NOT a must !! it can be place anywhere and be executed !!!
now ... installing a program to a certain place ( main storage/SD Card) is a different story altogether.
P.S ... on odd occasion ... moving file via activesync tend to "convert/alter" the original too .. just on odd occasion
the settings is in ACTIVESYNC's --->>> TOOLS --->>> ADVANCE TOOLS menu
do yo have a memory card? are you installing to the memory card or the device?
i have tried both the card and the device with no luck. i tried hard reseting it.... didnt work.
i.e. wont even let me download cab files.
is there any way to hard refresh and use the kaiser software? (black today screen) ?
Did you add the sdkcerts cab as discussed above? I'm new at this too, but have never had any problem loading any cab on the storage card and running from there. Don't even know what the sdkcerts cab is, but put it on first per instruction and it's all a cakewalk. Try that

YOU DON'T open cab file with internet explorer !!!
it is meant to be run on your device via FILE EXPLORER ... !!!
I think you should try downloading things from a desktop PC for now and Hard RESET your device and try it from start ...
just do it through desktop and then transfer file(s) VIA card reader ... and re-read what mentioned about the sdkcerts.cab ... it is a REQUIREMENT !!

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. My tilt won't let me install any cabs or uninstall anything. It says "installation unsuccessful." I've tried to install sdkcerts.cab and it wont even install that.
Every cabs are diffrent, when you ask for help on certain issues you need to add information as what cab you talking about If you are refering to a homemade cab and get alot of "installation unsuccessful" moust of the comon errors is that you havent digitaly signed the cab, specialy working whit library files this is needed. Cabs rely on OS, diffrent ROM can contain diffrent OS -> meaning the effect can change from successful to unsuccessful installation
I used to be able to install cabs until recently. But now my phone won't let me install ANY cabs whatsoever, regardless of whether i use an exe or a cab. Further, when I try to delete anything through file explorer, I get "Cannot delete...Access is denied." I can delete things through active sync on my desktop though.
Bump for help!

Noone here will wave a magic wand for you. How about some decent info on youre issue as phone, rom, spl or not. When did it happend after what? Apps installed and so on. If you cant provide more info or google youreself to an answer on this on I suggest you hard reset youre device.
Same problem here: recently CAB files won't install
I'm using a Kaiser. Here's my ROM etc.
ROM version: Essential WWE
ROM date: 18/04/2010
Radio version: 1.70.19.09
Protocol version: 25.83.40.02H
If I recall correctly, this is the link to the thread where I got this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629593
It's been running just fine, almost flawlessly, since April. But a couple of weeks ago I dropped the phone while getting up in the morning. Just a foot or so, onto thin mock-hardwood flooring, so it bounced a bit. The back cover popped off and out popped the extended battery. Of course there was the usual soft reset after putting things back together and pressing Power... but after this some things looked wrong. I found more and more errors as I tried using the device, so I went to a backup (use Resco Backup) and restored just the registry, choosing the 'stop all programs' option as usual with any whole or partial restore. After what seemed a successful registry restore and soft reset, the device was closer to how it had been, but still not quite 'right' somehow. I haven't had time for more fussing, too much work and family stuff going on, so I just left it at that. Daily PIMbackups offer the most important security for me anyway.
But I do like to use a lot of software, and would like to be able to install CAB files once in a while. Just yesterday I wanted to try Resco Pocket Radio v3.0, but found it wouldn't install. Not any error, just an eternal hourglass with no progress showing on the bar. No way to close out the install dialogue. It runs until soft resetting. I thought at first it was a Resco Radio CAB problem, but trying other known-good CAB files showed that it was the device.
So I'm left wondering what could have gone wrong. The battery has come out before, lots of times when I used to swap between two normal-capacity batteries, before getting this fat battery. Never saw a problem like this. Everything else seems to be working okay. I've had to tweak the odd setting since that glitchy restore, like alarms not sounding until I ran CalNot.exe (found in \Windows, part of the ROM) a few times and reset. Calendar and apMemo and other alarms all worked fine after that known fix. I'm back to an old glitch in the phone software where initiating any outgoing call triggers a loud partial beep. Got rid of that for a long time, but it's back. A bit of skin weirdness too, with plain blue showing up behind the Start Menu instead of my background, but that was easily fixed just running the skin again in Today options.
So there seems to be something a bit weird about CAB files and the Kaiser, for some people and some ROMs. Seems from this thread that it's not a specific ROM in question. I'll keep Googling, but frankly time is at a premium lately and I just don't have much of it for such things, and certainly not for a manual rebuild from a scratch ROM install. That can take me half a day with all the stuff I run. Tried a few times trimming down the software installs, but it's not not comfortable missing programs I've used regularly for years. So I'll live with this CAB problem until business lets up a bit. Unless of course someone comes up with a 'magic wand' to help out. ;-)

Kaiser Model: KAIS100
I have an issue where I can't get google sync to work. How do I setup my APN?
Initial Troubleshooting if Android will not boot:
Flash with the suggested Radio and Rom
Format your SDCard and start over
Get a new SDCard and try that
ROM: Hyperdragon IV IOlite
Radio: 1.71.09.01
Carrier: T-Mobile
Kaiser Model: KAIS120 (according to this)
I can't get data to work, I made a call and also made a data connection before starting Haret. I used all the files from the ION download thread.
The modem keeps giving 'failed'. I also disconnected (no connection but to reset the modem) and tried to connect afterwards but no luck.
Otherwise it seems to be speedier and the graphics look better (maybe the resolution...)

No internet connection either. Followed the instructions on HTCWiki for access point names and ran Togga. Nothing.
ROM: Solace v3.1
Radio: 1.65.24.36
Carrier: T-Mobile UK
Kaiser Model: MDA Vario III/KAIS120
I have the same problem as above, i.e. Modem will not connect.
On launching the modem app (after setting up the APN), I get the message "PPP connection went down. Done". On pressing "Connect", I get the message "Starting pppd..." then after a couple of minutes "Connection attempt failed".
I always ensure I have a data connection open in WinMo before running Haret and have tried making a call before Haret as suggested by mburris. I swapped out the initrd.gz for one from a previous Okibi 1.5 build but, although modem connected, I couldn't sign in to Google, so I was no further forward.
Modem Connection Issues
For the three of you who are having connection issues:
Please make sure you are using the application called "Modem" instead of Toga.
Also if that still does not work, please delete your move your existing data.img file off the card, and try starting with the data.gz file. This will create a new data.img file. Having a fresh data file, designed for ION, will allow us to rule out any issues that may have been caused by a damaged data file.
Can someone help me with themes? They come in an update.zip file. I try to overwrite the original images manually and it won't get past the boot logo. The permissions are all the same but do they have to be signed?

-Download ExtractToRootOfSDCard.zip below and extract *everything* to the root of your SD card
-Download system.img from below and put it in the root of your SD card
-Download zImage from below and put it in the root of your SD card

Download the system.img file (then put it in the root of your SD card)
Download the kernel aka zImage (then put it in the root of your SD card)
Where's the "ExtractToRootOfSDCard.zip" file?

I cant get a data.gz to unzip. I know it takes a long time but ive waited for almost 30 min before giving up and soft resetting. Ive been able to boot ION using a data.img from a 1.1 or 1.5 build but cant get data working. any suggestions on getting a data.img made for ION to work?
If your connection fails on first attempt after setup, give it a reboot then it works

As you can read in my post, I used modem instead of togga.
After using a clean data file (the one that came with the ION files) I didn't even have togga.
Android tried unzipping the data.gz but failed (not enough room error; which is incorrect, there is plenty of room)
I extracted the data.gz by hand on windows and renamed it to data.img and put it on the sd-card.
Did that before posting yesterday, so it doesn't work (for me).

I also tried that before posting yesterday but it didn't work.
I will also post this here, it's in the android thread as well:
I still can't get data to work with the ION rom, steps i took:
Downloaded all the ION files.
Used a fresh data
Used the new intird.gz as mentioned in this post
Removed the ppp setting from my startup.txt as mentioned in this post

I still can't get data to work with the ION rom, steps i took:
Downloaded all the ION files.
Used a fresh data
Used the new intird.gz as mentioned in this post
Removed the ppp setting from my startup.txt as mentioned in this post

Well... try a different sdcard or maybe try the radio / rom combo from my first post... sorry its not working for you.

For the three of you who are having connection issues:
Please make sure you are using the application called "Modem" instead of Toga.
Also if that still does not work, please delete your move your existing data.img file off the card, and try starting with the data.gz file. This will create a new data.img file. Having a fresh data file, designed for ION, will allow us to rule out any issues that may have been caused by a damaged data file.

@mburris...I was using Modem, as you can see from my original post. Have also tried a new data.gz, as this was mentioned on the main Android thread in the Kaiser Rom forum and still no joy.

@stringbean...Rebooting has helped to resolve data connection problems with 1.1 builds, but had no effect with the Ion build.
I don't know enough about the Kaiser hardware to know whether this is relevant, but it strikes me as more than a coincidence that those reporting data connection issues in this thread all have the KAIS120 variant of the handset.

Also is there an Advanced task manager that ION supports the one in Okibis will not work correctly I think this may be some of the reason phone starts lagging it is getting piled up with running apps and I have no way of closing them that I can find

I'm getting endless process crashing for powermanager at boot and then periodically. I think there are serious issues with the power management-- just look at the root console and see the never ending list of debug messages about it. Packagemanager crashes when trying to install/uninstall software like Retro Clock or OpenHome2, etc.
Seconded on the Advanced Task Manager. It 'works' by seeing processes and services but applications is empty. I'd always clean out apps on bootup and then every 1/2 hour or so. Can't now and Android's not too efficient at closing processes. I know that you can set up a limit on running apps but that doesn't seem to be the best practice.

AFAIK the KAIS110 vs KAIS120 only has a different camera and one extra.
Why did we not have this problem with 1.1?
I'm no longer keeping up with NAND on the vogue. So if anyone would like to keep me informed and email me or post me on any changes with NAND, ill be happy to add the news on the first post. The lock up issue with NAND has been fixed!
This is simply for any noobs or others who are having issues with Android and NAND.
IMPORTANT!!!
FOR VOGUE USERS ONLY
I am not responsible for any bricked or messed up devices. By continuing you are agreeing to my simple rule.
MY SIMPLE RULE: I owe you nothing.
I will help you through the way though if you bricked or need any sort of help.
How-to Video up NOW!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gTkJkOc7m4
First off, What is NAND?
To keep it simple...its your phones internal memory. Up untill recently we (Vogue Users) had to run Android off our SD cards using HARET. But thats another story.
What are the benefits of running from NAND? (based on what I have seen)
-Runs faster
-Longer Battery life
-faster boot up
-can be faster to put together.
-Easier to connect your vogue with android to your pc and sync
-Much more convenient.
So how do I start?
STEP1:
The Build
First you need to find a Build that is usable with NAND. Most Hero builds at this moment are not. Here are some links:
Donut 1.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591104
Hero
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603028
Cupcake 1.5
Method 1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593786
DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING JUST YET! I WILL TELL YOU WHEN A GOOD TIME WOULD BE
You may want to consider reading the rest...
STEP2:
Base Files (Most builds will supply these)
For all builds (Except the Link in Cupcake "instructions are givin in the download.) you will need a basic set of base files. The link below contains the 3 basic empty files for all builds and Systems.
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/Androidstuff.rar
IF
You are using Hero make sure you download hero.user.conf too:
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/hero.user.conf
-create a new folder called conf
-and place hero.user.conf in your new folder.
STEP3:
Rootfs
After you have the Base files you will need a rootfs. Depending on your Build, you may need a different type then the one I am going to supply you. Most builds will supply you with one. This one is DZO's rootfs.
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/rootfs.img
STEP4:
Prepare
-You need to clean out your storage on your SD. Make sure you delete everything.
-Create a file called android on your desktop.
-Download the base files, unzip, open folder, and place all 3 in your android folder
-Download the rootfs and place them in your android folder. Make sure you either download DZO's or the one your Build provides.
-Download a System.img. When you download a System most likely it will have a different name such as system-hero-123.img. You need to rename it system. So it should look like system.img . Then place it in your android folder.
-If you are using Hero place your conf folder in your android folder.
-Depending on your Build (mostly Hero) you may also need a Data file. The build you select should supply one. Download it and place it in your Android Folder
STEP5
Placing
Open up your android folder of all your collected files and select all, copy, and paste into your empty SD card.
STEP6
Unlocking
If you have never flashed a ROM before than you don't have HardSPL installed. So unlock your phone with...
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
Make sure you follow the forums directions.
STEP7
Method
Method1: The way I do it.
Download ROMUpdateUtility.rar
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/ROMUpdateUtility.rar
Extract to a newfolder
Download a kernel with your screen size
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
Don't know your screen size...check this out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544906
After you have have gotten the kernel:
rename it to RUU_signed and place it in the ROMUpdateUtility folder you created.
NOW you need to plug your phone into your computer. Establish active sync. And run ROMUpdateUtility.
-Follow the Instructions on the screen.
Method 2 and 3 can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593786
This also shows my method...but a little less detail. You can also find many other helpful things there.
If you fail OR think your bricked your phone.
You will need to download one of these depending on your carrier...Make sure you download the shipped gps rom. (If you are Verizon skip down)
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=191607
Than you will put your phone in boot mode. Hold the Camera and Power button. While holding both of them...get a pen or something small and hit the little restart button on the bottom of your phone. You may have to hold it for like a second.
-you will see three color bars on your phone
-plug your phone into your computer
-run the backup
After your phone is all back to normal. Make sure you run internet explore on your phone. It will enable you to get data.
For Verizon follow the instructions here.
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
That is about it. I'm sure I forgot some stuff and will add on to this. Make sure you donate to the Devs for all their hard work.

great thread. I've run both from nand and sdcard. i have not messed with ext2 on the sdcard.
I agree with 3 for sure. I would also add that there is a deep gratification in wiping win mo off the sdcard
6 is debatable, depends on which conveniences you want. changing lcd.density, changing resolution are all much faster running from the sdcard - no flashing or messing with build.prop, just edit default.txt and reboot (aside - if you have a non-sdhc card you can flash on the fly from the sdcard, but changing lcd.density still requires pulling and pushing files from the system, which is not as easy as changing the default.txt). also more convenient to back-up or revert to a data.img when running from sdcard. definitely booting straight into android is convenient, as is the new mass storage on boot method, as well as having a re-writable system (which you also have using ext2).
1 and 2, I honestly have not noted a significant difference in battery life. With a fast sdcard, I don't think there is a significant difference in speed either - dzo has said this in one of the non-vogue forums as well. i have not tried any sense builds from the sdcard though, and that's where you would notice the greatest difference in speed if there is any.
4 I agree with in general.
I think running from the nand is a huge advance, and great for everyone to try. but, running from the sdcard is still a decent way to use android. choosing between the two comes down to choosing which conveniences suit your usage style the most.
One last thing - please add vilord to your donate links (his google ion on vogue thread), he has been instrumental in developing the ril and advancing android on the vogue. srwalter also deserves mention for his reverse engineering of the libgps.so to bring gps first to cupcake and now to donut as well. jamezelle, plemen, mssmison, zenulator, enatefox, f00bar (no specific order) have all worked hard porting roms and working on things like compcache, swap, modem, etc, which has all been invaluable (zenulator and mssmison deserve special credit for spearheading the porting business). however the gruntwork of porting to the vogue has been done mainly by dzo who brought us the kernel and initial ril and now nand (he's just frickin amazing, he singlehandedly got the first functioning port to the vogue and others helped from there), then vilord who took the ril and really refined it. I guess suffice to say, there have been a lot of people involved along the way, thanks to all of them.
when i try to run android from both nand and haret i always get an error about not being able to mount sd card. does this mean i need to reformat the card? if so how do i do this?

it could theoretically run off of a 512, but you would be a little cramped on space
i guess android doesnt like some of them
so really it doesn't matter how big the card is? do they all have to be formatted to fat32?

Can I delete those files from the SD when flashing is done?

Yes that is correct, as for deleting the files...I would assume you could. But im not sure. Maybe they are still needed on boot. Never hurts to try though.
im not getting access to the internet after i flashed, am i suppose to edit anything?

Wait...NVM you want data to work right?
If you are using donut...try to restart your phone one time. After it boots back up you should see a 3g symbol appear on the notification bar.
If that does not work...go to your apps and open modem. Click once on disconnect and then once more. Then click connect.
Tell me if that works...
Update: Rather than following these steps, at this point I'd recommend just using Myn’s Latest Warm Donut build which includes all the files needed in one download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619980 . It seems to be the most stable out at the moment.
I've spent some hours wading through the forums to find complete instructions for installing the newer android builds using the WM haret.exe linux booter (rather than flashing the entire phone and loosing WM) on my touch Vouge.
I am new at this, but since I did not find complete instructions, and had to figure some things out using trial and error I thought I would post what I did figure out here in hopes of helping others.
My instructions may be off or misguided. If so please post with corrections. I just know I was looking for a guide like this and couldn't find one so hope this helps someone.
I should also note that I did these step specifically to get the new wired headset fix working on my phone.
I have copied from the install instructions here: sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstall
and made some further corrections where I found them lacking.
#summary Installation instructions
HOW TO GET IT RUNNING
Step 0: Prep your phone
* You need to be able to run unsigned apps, as the Haret launcher is not signed.
* You need a recent radio for your device. That means 3.37.xx or better. I'd recommend either using the latest radio for your carrier, or the Bell 3.42.50 radio.
* A fast SD card will work best, try to get class 6 if possible.
Step 1: Download the files!
* Download haretinstall.zip from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2010-02-20/haretinstall.zip/download
* Extract haretinstall.zip to get the ANDBOOT folder. Copy ANDBOOT and all of its contents to the ROOT of your SD card. This contains the zImage (kernel), initrd.gz (initial ramdisk), and the files for haret, all in an andboot folder. They need to stay in the andboot folder.
* Rename the default.txt file to startup.txt if you want to skip a start up step by making haret.exe automatically run when clicked instead of having to then tap Run.
* Download mssmisoneclairv6.rar from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2010-03-16/mssmisoneclairv6.rar/download
* Extract mssmisoneclairv6.rar to get androidinstall.tar. Copy androidinstall.tar to the andboot folder.
* Download the latest zImage from here: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
* Rename zImage-##-##-## to just zImage and put it in the andboot folder (either renaming or overwriting the old zImage file that came with haretinstall.zip)
Step 2: Start it up!
* Run Haret, and it should boot into android.
1. When prompted, hold down the center dpad button to enter the installer menu
2. You can choose where to install android if you have created ext2 partions for the sys and data parts of android on your sd card or just choose "Install System"
3. Quit and let it boot up (may take a while)
Tips
Here's a list of the keys for the Vogue. Other devices may be similar.
* Volume controls volume
* Long Press camera is home
* Press and release camera is back
* Press and release top power button is menu
* Press and hold 1 second top power button for on screen keyboard
* Press and hold 2 seconds top power button for landscape (turn off auto rotate in settings)
* Press and hold end key for shutdown menu
* For best battery life, disable background data in Settings..Data

o Some phones use 1 as the screen type, some use 2, and some use 3.
1. When prompted, hold down the center dpad button to enter the installer menu
2. If you have choices of where to install, pick the options that make the most sense. Haret users don't have an option
3. Pick Install System
4. Quit and let it boot up (may take a while)
Step 3: Get the internet working!
* When you get to the sign on screen, if you don't have a data icon up top or you can't connect, you'll need to put in your username and password for connecting to the internet.
1. Press menu, which is Power on the vogue.
2. Press APN Settings
3. choose the default entry, Android
4. For CDMA devices, just change the username and password to match your provider. On Verizon, the username is <10-digit-phone-number>@vzw3g.com and the password is vzw
5. For GSM devices, you'll need to fill in more information. Head over here for some standard options
6. Hit menu, then Save

great post. a few things . . .
1. on the vogue (elf is different) we have autodetection of the boar_panel_type, so you should not have this value in the default.txt - if it is there (which it should not be for the vogue) take it out, and you'll never see the flashing white screen.
2. haret users do have an option where to install; if they have created ext2 partitions on their sd card, they can install their sys and data to the regular old sd card ("sys on ext2 system.img", which will place it in the andboot folder), or on an sdcard partition if they have created one ("sys on sdcard partition" - I recommend this, take the ten minutes it takes to partition your sd card if you are running from haret).
3. as far as getting data working, for sprint people, I have never had to enter any apn info. ever. if data does not work, wait. if it still does not work, reboot. 99% of the cases this will take care of it. if rebooting does not work, and you have data working using windows mobile, then I would try entering apn stuff.
thanks again!
Thanks. I've added some info and taken some things out from your suggestions. I figure better to keep it simple since with most of this I don't know what I'm talking about.
So what are the advantages to installing on ext2 partitions? Does it run faster, less buggy, more battery life? Do you recommend also creating a linux swap partition like what is suggested at this post or is it not worth the extra wear on the card?

some feel ext2 runs a little faster. the biggest advantage IMO is that the system can be mounted re-writable for changing things around - can't do that with regular SD card install. I don't think battery life is very different, other's will probably disagree with me.
I haven't used linux swap or compcache in a while, mainly because I've stayed away from anything with sense UI (i prefer speed to looks). even using plain eclair (mssmison's), it is fast enough from nand that I don't need it.
Something was wrong!
maybe some files were mising.
for example ,the system.img
i come from China, for my poor english, i don't know how to describe...
The system.img file gets created along with the data.img file after you install.
Rather than following the steps above, at this point I'd recommend just using Myn’s Latest Warm Donut build which includes all the files needed in one download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619980 . It seems to be the most stable out at the moment.
Thank you !
I made a mistake, by following your steps, android was installed on my phone.
i use Chinese, but this version can't support Chinese character SMS.
i will try to solve this problem.
In addition, i found a mistake in this forum , I do not know where to feedback, so I made here, China Telecom operating a CDMA network, it's China's third-largest mobile phone operator, but this forum said that China Telecom is a GSM operator, I hope someone can modify this mistake.

Glad you got it working. Hopefully google won't abandon you all with SMS character support in Android as well At least Android is open source so it can always be hacked.

I tried to install Myn’s build couple of times using the instructions. So here is what I did -
1. used a 2 GB microSD card, formatted the whole card (all 2gb) to fat32.
2. copied the extracted andboot to the card.
3. ran Haret, saw the linux screen booting continues, chose to install system, didn't get any option for the locations, process completed with several I/O errors.
4. Quit and reboot. boot process continues but never finishes, keep giving errors.
One thing I didn't catch do I have to create ext2 partitions with FAT32 for running android ? it doesn't seem to work with single fat32 partition.

Yes, Myn's build has everything you need.
I am running it and it is very stable.
Initially, I ran it without EXT2 partitions. It ran OK... but running with 2 EXT2 partitions was much more stable (less reboots) and much faster!

I tried to install Myn’s build couple of times using the instructions. So here is what I did -
1. used a 2 GB microSD card, formatted the whole card (all 2gb) to fat32.
2. copied the extracted andboot to the card.
3. ran Haret, saw the linux screen booting continues, chose to install system, didn't get any option for the locations, process completed with several I/O errors.
4. Quit and reboot. boot process continues but never finishes, keep giving errors.

Not sure what else to suggest, but did you unlock your phone first?

Yes, I did unlock the phone and also superCIDed (I am using radio 3.42.50 on verizon XV6900), I am much familiar with WinMO flashings but andriod is not working for me. With Myn's sd card package after installation I always get error msg saying
init: unable to open persistent prop......errorno:2
Any suggestions ?

Yes, Myn's build has everything you need.
I am running it and it is very stable.

Thanks for your response. I need help to get it to run on my vogue. I don't know why Myn's package is not working for me... I have posted the problem with bootlog - here

I have been working with myn's build on my 6800. So far everything is working but I cant seem to get the system to find the ringtones. I have tried it in /media/audio/ringtones on the root of sdcard. Also just a ringtones folder on the root of sdcard. I even tried to browse to the mp3 or ogg file and set it as a ringtone but this option is grayed out so it won't do it. Any suggestions on this? Thanks

Brave soul!
hmm... this worked for me (on another build.) How are you running, ext2 partitions?
If desparate you could add to /system/media/audio/ringtones via an androidupdate.tar.

Error Please set start of ram (RAMADDR)
Hi,
I've downloaded, extracted, renamed and copied everything from the first post to my HTC HD2.
When I start HaRET, I get the following message after I tap RUN:
"Error: Please set start of ram (RAMADDR)"
Am I doing something wrong?
Can you help?
Thanks!

possibly that this is built for the HTC Vogue and not the HTC HD2. Try looking in their forums for more information.
Haret from Android
This is probably a stupid question since I've seen no mention of it, but...
I'm running Myn's Warm Donut build now and I'd like to try some of the Froyo builds, but I don't want to lose the stable Donut build for daily use.
Is there anything comparable to Haret that runs from Android? So that I could boot to the newer builds off SD card, but leave the stable Donut build on NAND?
With this application you can:
download and edit latest nbh
download latest zImage and configure your default.txt
Install system, install updates, backup data, backup system, clean data, partition sd card (only if there is only fat32 partition on it)
Change keymapping for vogue/Polaris/kaiser (still on develop)
And much more
Using dzo's kernel and initrd is deprecated so use the update version of 2.6.32 and 2.6.25

Sd partition tool works only with latest initrd.lzma
nand user need this download directly from the "net" button.
The sd card partition must have only one partition fat32 formatted
Also this post
Couldn't have been better timing. Glad to see you're takin over as you have a MUCH better idea of what you're doing. I still have a few more days with my kaiser so I'll try to help with anything while I can.
I know it's a lot easier to just use python, but it seems that everybody likes the .exe version of the nbh editor so here's an exe version of atools.
EDIT: Removed. Not updating exe anymore.
anyway you could build in the ability to flash the kernel too like the RUU does im on a Mac and having to flash via a PC kind of stinks
Vibrate while boot and shutdown
I hope there's an option to eliminate the vibrate while boot and shutdown too.
Thanks for this tools, very helpfull...
Looks awesome. Good work. Appreciate the inclusion of zImages and editing. Should be useful.

Does htcflasher not work on Mac?
Sent from my Full Android on Vogue using XDA App
Ive got a sad message for U. When I tick a GPU OC for kaiser, then my phone dont want to boot. Its writing a list of "bad blocks" on the screen and hangs, I cant even reinstall android cuz i get a message about "bad blocks, cant format" or something like that. After flash NBH without GPU OC it seems to be fine...

i wasn't aware of that program until now i just looked for a download for mac all i found was linux and windows downloads, can you point me in a direction i should look for it?
also having everything in one place would still be really awesome, think about it you can adjust a .nbh then flash it without even having to leave 1 program
The problem is that there isn't a cross platform tool and i don't know if it is possible to write it in python.
Python is cross platform and it's way i use it for these tools.

Kaiser gpu overclock isn't working in this version. I just fixed it last night so it should work in the next release.
loserskater but i downloaded that version from sourceforge git repo... so I think it has a GPU OC patch for kaiser...

I'm not sure if kaiser supports the gpu overlook. I'll look into it tonight though.
EDIT: realized I had the vogue mtdparts set on Kaiser. Haven't tested but it should be working now.
For Alter System and Data Partition, how big the /system will be expand after install ? Can I assume, it would be the same for every builds ?
Or it won't expand at all after install, so I can determine the size just by looking the 'system' folder size ( unpack the .tar ) ?
Thanks.
It depends on distro, so expand the tar file an left some space.
l1q1d - was the atools pulled down? i receive: "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"
