I tried the new image (sound!) with new intrid and all the other stuff, and it freezes my Pure. Haret pops up and runs the slide bar, then freezes.
I went back in and put everything back in that was working, except for the zimage, and it still freezes. My system file is almost a month old, do I need to update this as well to get the new kernel w/working sound?
Thanks!

DL new sys file... still freezes... ARGH.. DL the new bundle package now, will do a fresh install on SD card.
On a separate note, does anyone have any luck getting the google maps app to work? It will show everything but the map picture itself. When the app loads it shows a US map for just a second, the shows a blue dot on a nlank grey screen.
this happened to me so i formatted mt SD and put the files back on and it worked.
OK.. this is a little frustrating...lol
Formatted the sd card. Put on the new bundle I downloaded and it worked like a champ! I even have the Google maps now working!
So, I put in the latest zimage, intirid and stuff and once again, it freezes my topa210.
Any thoughts?
BTW! Thanks guys for all the awesome work you do... This is not me complaining! This is me needing help because I must have screwed up!

Try adding zimage at once then boot then initrd & rootfs and see whats causing the problem. Maybe you didnt renamed rootfs correctly... this happened to me once xD
Re did everything on a (again) formatted card. Did everything one at a time.. Used new image/rootfs/intirid from around the 26th AND 27TH..
Everything works great! Sound, maps, navigation, 3G connections!
YEA!
I am going to use this for a few days and see how it does, and will report back, if anyone is interested to hear.
I do have a question, though.
I put the battery false in my startup, will the battery still charge if I plug it in? The phone thinks it is fully charged..
Thanks again for all y'all's hard work!

ADP builds of Android do not have TMobile apps such as Amazon MP3. This has been discussed ad nauseum if you had bothered to search.

It's a protected app. If you need it that bad that I suggest you go back to an RC build and do research before blindly flashing whatever build of Android is at the top of the forum.

If you still have the RC firmware you can just unzip it copy the amazon apk out and install it into the adp the amazon works. I dont think anyone has the IM app working though
We should have an official rc update from tmobile real soon, which will have amazon mp3, myfavs, etc...
Just open a RC33 update.zip and extract the file from /system/app. Then you can install it by adb push.
Verified as working. I just added it to the app folder of Dudes 1.1 build and then did the update and it works just great. Purchased and downloaded a song to verify.
Here it Is
http://droiddeveloper.com/com.amazon.mp3.zip
enjoy it works for me...
Really Bad,
In Germany it cannot charge my creditcard... It has enough money on it.
I have the dude's 1.5 version, and cant seem to get it running. It forces closed upon trying to open. Any thought? It is saved to my SD in the app folder.
TIA

TY SolemnWishing, this is how I got the app on my SD card to begin with - yours is a very helpful thread for a n00b like me. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the app to open. I am not sure how I could have messed it up - pretty simple, I navigate to the app folder on my SD and click the apk file which proceeds to install Amazon MP3. No go.
If you have any ideas on what the problem might be I would appreciate the input.
Thanks again for your great tutorial
Hmm... I assume you deleted the .zip and renamed it to .apk, what firmware are you using?
I am using firmware 1.5. Yes I renamed to apk. I wants to work, just force closes before it fully loads. I also have this problem with oi music player. It used to work, now no longer loads. I wonder if my SD card is the problem. It is 8 gb, but I am sure only like a class 2 card.
Strange. I have JF 1.5 and installed the Amazon app the normal way for any app on the G1 and have rebooted several times. The app still works. I thought if you did not push the app to the G1 it would need to be reinstalled each time you reboot the device?
Well, I am pretty positive it was my SD card - after writing my post this morning I pulled the SD card and have not been anble to get the phone back since. This thread pretty accuratly describes what is going on...long story short, i think I fried my SD card and as a result am stuck on Splash 2. I have wiped several times...

uggg...all for mp3's!!!! any thoughts and lots of luck would be appreciated.

Ahh I did the same thing. Here is what you need to do, you will need to force format it. Windows will NOT detect the card, and it may even freeze your computer. Put the phone into another device, such as a palm pilot or another cell phone and format it from there. It shouldn't take very long, and when it is completed, it will likely say the memory card only has 5Kb or so of memory on it. NOW insert the card into your computer and reformat it into a FAT32 format (+Ex2 for apps to SD) and you should be good! Of course, you will need to reload all your files though. That will fix your SD card. As for your phone... you will need to completely reflash a new firmware onto it, as right now starting up your phone is looking for items on your SD card which it may need, which no longer exist.
edit: if that doesn't work, completely start from the beginning by flashing the dreamimg.nbh file for rooting.
I was able to reformat the SD card, lost all my backups of course, and had to reflash dreaming.nbh and start from scratch. No biggy, at least i still have my phone.
thanks for all the tips...once i get my card re-partioned, I will try the Amazon.apk again.

No problem at all, glad I could help.
I have been trying to install android to NAND on my bell Vogue with no success. I had an early build of MYN's rom installed but I switched back to WM for a while because of battery life issues with android. Now that those issues have been taken care of I would like to switch back to android permanently.
I have been following all of the directions that I have read, but cannot seem to access the installer menu. I have tried holding down volume up, center d-pad and touching the middle of the screen and none of them will work.
I am coming from NFSFAN's latest WM rom with the radio fully updated. I am flashing the most recent Vogue images that I can find and it still doesn't seem to work.
Is there something that I am doing wrong? is there an alternative method to get a permanent install of android?
Thanks!

So what do you see when it starts up? Do you see tux and scrolling text?
yes i see all the text, but after it tells me to hold the center button to enter the menu it just continues along and tries to load android (which is not yet installed) and so it fails.
thanks for the reply!

try this - do a pinhole (soft) reset, then just after you feel the double buzz, give a good tap in the middle of the screen and hold it.
Ok, Will do. I will try that again... I have tried the middle of the screen before and I have tried holding from as early as right after boot to as late as right when it gives the hold message.
Still no luck... Does anybody else have any ideas as to what might be going wrong?
Also, would it be possible to run via haret and then install to nand somehow?
I tried to install to SD card and I still could not access the installer!
All of my buttons work, but for some reason they are not getting me into the installer. I think this issue started about the time they switched to holding center D-pad instead of volume up.
could I just use an old Vogue img file?
looking for any other ideas!
Thanks

What method of install are you using norootfs or the old way
I have been using norootfs. I have never used sqsh would it be possible to install that way?
EDIT: I am trying the SQSH method, but it seems like this is not a permanent install, is that correct? I would really like to be able to run android permanently.

What files do have in the andboot folder
When I was trying to install to NAND all I had in the andboot folder was the androidinstall.tar
when trying the SD card install I used all of the files included in MYN's download.
i am using an 8gb microsd HC card formatted FAT32 which I think is what it is supposed to be.

you don't have haret or a nbh file in the andboot folder
when trying to install to NAND I have no Haret (I don't think it is required) and in that case the NBH is flashed to the phone, but not on the SD card
when trying to install to SD i have Haret in the andboot folder, but no NBH.

Damn try downloading another version of haret to see if that will help
I have been trying all sorts of different versions. Most recently I have tried to install incubus26Jc's superfroyo RLS10 to no avail. Whatever I do I simply cannot get to the installer menu! I have tried holding center d-pad, volume up, camera and the middle of the touchscreen. none of these seem to work for me. Is there anything else I can try or does anybody know a reliable way of flashing to nand without the noMoRootFS method?
thanks!

can you explain this better? When is it freezing? what are you doing while it freezes? which version (frx04,frx05,ect.) is freezing? We can not help without more information.

also on my raph800 this happens.
i only tested frx04.
but similar situation appears on some other build like neopeek's donut build.
it just freezes after booted. i'm can see the home screen , i don't touch anything, i even didn't enabe data. once on frx04 i waited an hour and it's still inoperable
In my Topaz I have the latest FRX05 and also kernel, roots.... I'm quite sure that has some problem with the 3G because the phone freezes some time after the signal was established and I can't see the 3G icon anymore. After 3 or 4 reboot the phone doesn't freeze but without Internet and 3G icon as well.
Have you tried to format the sdcard and replace all the files? Sometimes this helps to get rid of some fragments of files left from just deleting. try a fresh install, or try deleting data.img and creating a new one(on boot).
i have used frx04,frx05 but still freezing.Freze surf market, install and use the application etc. there is no reason for the freeze. i don't understand for why (my english is too bad i am sorry)
try change the SD card i had a problem with a 1g freezing befor but now with a new 4go SD card problem resolved !

Everything works now and faster!!!!
There is some problem with the APN and MMS settings they should be set up correctly to avoid freezes. Now I have every latest component installed and working very well.
Hi
I use frx06, have copyed FRX06\STARTUPS\Topaz\startup.txt to root of sd card
and booted with haret.exe.
I do not get the calibration dots (sometimes i get a half dot sometimes nothing(of course I have deleted the calibration file in the root of the SD card)) have seen on another walk through where the dots is, and after guessing where the dots is, after a while the os is showing up and I can do some tasks.
Picture 1: After 1 - 2 minuts the phone freeze when trying to make a call. I can do nothing.
Picture 2: After 1 - 2 minuts the phone freeze when trying to unlock the phone. I still can do nothing.
Please help
Hello
After a couple of days of hunting a new update for my new phone, I got to a dead end.
After trying multiple ways (most of them are from here so I will post only 2-3 links): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732362 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3695364&postcount=4 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 , the problem was the same. After sync and starting installation via USB (phone freezes) and SDcard (phone freezes automatically with starting Heret.exe) I don't know and really can't find a way how to remove WM6.5 (and put android) or someway update or install a fresh version.
I hope someone will be willing and able to help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Dude, what *exactly* is your issue? From what I can see, you're trying to install android and it's not working for you..
Either way, first, format your SD before trying anything. See if that will get your phone to respond. If not, get a new one. The problem with SD cards is, when they fail (or get corrupted), it can cause your phone to "almost freeze". Instantly fixed by removing the SD. And booting the phone without it usually allows the phone to work normally.
The SD is brand new (4GB), and I also tried with 5 other SD cards (2 and 4 GB's).
I don't think it's to the SD card's, its more to the damn phone and I have no clue how to reinstall WM or put Android on it. And that the issue, how to prevent completely freezing while sync via USB and boot from SD card.
Hope you understand better now neocyke
Well, honestly dude, a T5388 is not exactly a TD2, so, what would work on an actual TD2 might not for you. Based on my experiences with clones, best is to flash with no SD in. Try visiting this thread and use the ROM there. Get the IDT flasher and work your way from there. Oh, and you might wanna remove Activesync or WM Device center before flashing.. Good luck with that..
As for android, installation for XDAndroid is the simplest thing in the world. Just unzip the FRX06 zip file to a folder (andboot is usually used). Take the topaz startup and put in the root of that folder (remember to edit as needed). Then copy *the entire folder* and dump it on the root of your SD. Run Haret from WM and that's it. Just wait for it to boot.. But then, this is assuming that your phone is supported by XDAndroid of course. You might wanna check that in the android dev section..
I've rooted so much and learned so much in the past month that I'd like to take that extra step. Opinions?
I'd like to try Cyanogenmod, but I've been failing miserably trying to put it on my device.
I've tried flashing it through this way: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide but I couldn't get ClockworkMod to reboot. Once I did get it to reboot I had a hard time loading or flashing Cyanogenmod because it kept saying that it failed to load and installation was aborted. What am I doing wrong guys? I'm following those instructions in the link to a T. I put the gapps file and the update cm 7.0.1 in the folder called the external_sd even though I do not have an external SD card, but I was guessing that's where the root of the internal memory is. Am I missing something? Is it really this hard? And is Cyanogenmod really worth it?
put the update/zip file in internal SD,not inside any folder.remove external SD card.now try flashing.

Couple things. When I connect my phone to the computer there is no folder that says internal SD unless the stuff that shows up with all the folders is the internal SD. I do not have a removable SD card.
Do I have to flash or wipe anything before I put the update/zip file on my phone?
Ok, successfully did it! I installed the cyanogenmod so I'll take it for a spin. However, there is one thing that I can't figure out. I'm trying to download all the Google apps from the market, but anything that I try downloading from the market it just stays in the downloading progress bar and nothing happens.
I installed the separate apk file gapps-gb-20110828-signed the same way I installed Cyanogenmod, but nothing. Can anyone help please? Also, I used the Navigation app a lot, but I can't even seem to find that one on the market...
Now it's working. Ok. Few questions for you guys. Any way to turn off an "LED notification" whenever I get a text message the bottom soft keys light up and stay lit up until I check the message.
Still don't know how to get the turn by turn Navigation application.
EDIT: How do you get Swype as well on Cyanogenmod?
