I just bought a BA and want to upgrade it to use either the AKU2.6 or AKU3.2. I got to setp 3 below:
3. Modify the operator in the ROM as needed:
Determine your operator Information e.g.: "T-MOB101", or "Vodafone", or O2. See GetDeviceData.
(I did this the operator is "XGULA001")
*
Open a command prompt, go to the folder where the ROM file resides (nk.nbf) and execute: SetOperator ???
(where ??? is your operator)
(I used the Microsoft command promp and went to where the nk.nbf file is located. After the C:\> I typed "\cd\Documents and Settings\John\My Documents\WM2k5_AKU2.6_32mb_v1.1.2\" as this is where the nk.nbf file is. Then I typed the command SetOperator XGULA001.
I get the following error:
"Set Operator is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I figured it out. There's a few mistakes in the instructions. The nf.nkb file has to be moved to the file where the appropriate rom is found before running the setoperator command prompt.
Also, one must fully reboot after the hard reset and connect to the PC via Active Sync before running the rom upgrader.
Whoever made these WM5 ROMS for the BA should receive a reward. They're awesome.
Thanks
Somebody please help me out of my misery. I followed the rooting directions to the letter, but when I type "adb devices" I get the following error:
* daemon not running. starting it now *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
I'm in the right directory ( AndroidSDK\tools\ ), I have the android driver installed, I have USB debugging checked, I don't understand why this is not working.
Please help me out here.
I had no problem rooting my palm pre, which was infinately more complicated than this.
Thank you in advance.

had a pre and "rooted" it as well..... using putty is more complicated that this but this is a little more like hacking... whereas on the pre you are just accessing root rather than breaking into it.
anyway... try these
nstall htc sync from htc's website, can you sync?
run cmd as administrator
cd untill you are in the same directory as your adb
type "adb devices"
does it display your hero?
type "adb shell"
does is display "$" ?

Yes, I can sync with HTC Sync. When I do the adb devices I get the error I described above and I cannot do adb shell because I cannot communicate via android sdk.

windows 7? VISTA? XP?
restart phone/computer

also find another copy of adb.exe i heard there's a old copy floating out there that doesn't reccognize the hero for some reason but if you got it from a guide you shouldn't have a problem.
download sprint RUU and wipe your phone (if it will connect) also if you want to dig down the ruu has a working adb.exe twisted into their install they dump in your %TEMP% folder

Thank you for your help. Greatly appreciated.
The ADB server binds and listen to port 5037. If that port is taken and/or if the daemon is already running, you'll see that error message.
Start task manager and kill adb.exe (all the instances of it).
If that don't work, try rebooting your computer and your phone, and trying again.
If it still don't work, try this:

Sucussfully rooted, thanks again.
Sorry for reviving an ancient post, but I just wanted to say that I ran into the same issue and opening up "taskmgr" and killing the active instance of "adb.exe" resolved the issue.
Just for help :
I had the same issue and it was my Firewall which blocked the starting of deamon.
Turn off your Firewall can fix the problem
cheers guys, followed the instructions and flashed rec. radio
This solved it for me: edit adb_usb.ini
This solved it for me:
Edit ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file to make sure that there is no extra empty line after the 0x0006 line entry
For other users: I also found this:
After killing ADB.exe run netstat (just "netstat", no parameters) and
see if port 5037 is opened. It probably will be. Wait a while. Run
netstat again, now there are less connections on the port. After a
port 5037 is no longer opened. Only then it's OK to run ADB again.
Please note that this worked for when I killed the ADB.exe process &
process tree from Sysintenal's Process Explorer.
Also, I still don't know why running ADB again before all connection
are closed led to the port never being freed (albeit netstat didn't
show any open connections anymore). Moreover, the problem that forced
me to kill ADB in the first place needs to be solved and there's
enough on that in the forum.

HTC Sync Manager has adb.exe at location C:\Program Files\htc\htc sync manager\htc sync\adb.exe
You have 2 options now:-
1) Delete this adb.exe
2) Copy latest adb.exe from android sdk to this path.
Note: You need to make the 2 copies of adb.exe in sync always(when android sdk is updated) else this problem will come up again.
On windows 7, you can make a link of adb.exe from android sdk to this folder, which will avoid copying manually.
C:\> cd "C:\Program Files\htc\htc sync manager\htc sync"
C:\Program Files\htc\htc sync manager\htc sync\> mklink adb.exe C:\<path to your sdk>\platform-tools\adb.exe
kill htc sync

But when I execute 'hierarchy viewer' at my desktop, I get this error in console:

Can you please tell me how can I run 'hierarchy viewer' on Nexus One?
Thank you.
Did you ever find an answer to this question?
Actually, a quick Google later and it seems that you can't run the hierarchyviewer on stock phones. You may need to unlock the bootloader and root the phone, perhaps even install a non-stock ROM.

So I'm trying to get a better understanding of the things I am reading here and on other Android websites. I keep reading about ADB - which I've gathered stands for Android Development Bridge. I did a search on this site and found the "easy ABD tutorial" that actually confused me even more. So my question is, could someone please explain to me in laymans terms what exactly is ABD? I've successfully rooted my D3 and created a nandroid and would l iike to try the Steel Droid Rom however, it talks about using ADB to push the BlurEmail.apk to system/app/.
I think I've successfully installed the Android SDK but I have no clue as to how to install the ABD "drivers" that are referenced in the the following post: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/adb-easy-tutorial/
Is there a difference between the SDK application and ADB or are they part of the same thing?
Is there a way to verify if I have the ADB drivers/application/whatever that I need so that I can push the BlurEmail.apk to the system/app/ file location?
As always, thanks to those that provide a response to this thread.
First of all, kudos to jcs for this op. While fairly new at this, I found it very complete. I had to do alot of reading and downloading behind the scenes to get it this far, but so far everything has worked.
As the title suggests, I am stuck on step 7c, in particular where I am trying to run "novacom....certs.sh". I am using ubuntu and had to load "Wine" to get it to recognize the "palmenv.bat" file. So, is there an easy way to run the "nova...." file in ubuntu? Other than finally figuring out how to get and use java in ubuntu, I've been very impressed with that OS.
Here is the error message:
Z:\home\mds\Downloads\WebOS>novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
File not found.
The "Z" directory was the result of running the "wine cmd" as the directory originally was "C". Initially after running the "wine cmd" command, I ran the "palmenv.bat" and it accepted it. However, I was unable to run the "novacom...certs.sh" file, even though it was in the same location.
PS: I have deleted and added spaces in combinations around "<" in the above as I could not tell for sure the correct way.

Did you fully read post #2, part C of the TPTB thread? You should be able to just unzip the TPTB into a folder, open a terminal session in that folder, and run the .sh file that's there. You may need to run it with sudo; that I don't recall.

Yes thanks. The problem boils down to running a ".bat" file then running a ".sh" file. Using Ubuntu, I have been unable to run the .bat file without "wine", then, in "wine", I have been unable to run the ".sh" file.
In windows 7, I can run the ".bat" file, but unable to run the ".sh" file. This is the final step in jcs's op to do a clean install of webos and this particular step fixes the certificates. Ref here step 7d: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2756314&page=7
Ubuntu command:
sudo ./tptb_v42_nix.sh
You have to be in the same directory where tptb is...of course the listed command is for version 42.
The .sh file is for Linux not for windows. You cannot run it in "wine".

You're not getting the message. You don't run the batch file in Ubuntu; it's for Windows only. Follow the above post's advice (note the period before the /. It's essential).

So, below is an exact copy (ctrl c, then ctrl v) from page 7 of jcs' op for reinstalling webos.
then run "palmenv" and then run "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh"
Just got back on this project again and have a follow-up question.
From your comment above, I need to add a period here either before the "///" or ".///" slashes or after "bin" or "bin./"?
Here is also a direct copy out of the text file of "fix-webOS-certs.sh"
novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
So, neither place has a period before either of the /'s as you mentioned. Please advise...thanks again.
Thanks and Sorry, I did not see the previous post to yours. In the meantime, I did run it again without knowing where to put the period and I am a little closer to completing the reinstall...but still don't know why I can't get the last line "novacom run file.....certs.sh" to run.
I redid every step again on the tp and got to the screen where you select the "language". I then opened up the command prompt in windows 7, tp still connected, cd'd until I got to the directory where both "palmenv" and "novacom run file..." is located. I ran "palmenv" and got "Setting Novacom Path ....".
I then immediately ran the "novacom run file....." and got "unable to find device".
I checked my device manager under disk drives and the "HP Webos-usb device" was listed with no flags.
I tried it again, but same message.
One other comment on the "novacom run file....". In windows, when I hit the download button on the "goo" website, it actually opens up. In order to download, I had to select all, paste it in notepad, open up notepad and save as the ".sh" file. So, I don't know if that is screwing something up or not. Otherwise, it would not down load or I would not have it. Strangely, it did download in Ubuntu, but that file did not work either.
So, any advice on how I can complete the very final step on running the "novacom run file....certs.sh"?

Thanks. I had thought the .sh file was for Ubuntu, but I received a message that said those sequence of commands from jcs was to be run in windows. Anyway, I believe the above instructions are how to get the tptb running in Ubuntu. If so, that is not the problem. If not, then from that and other messages received, I would run the .bat file from windows, reboot my system and then run the .sh file in Ubuntu adding "sudo ./ to the "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh"?
So, for a recap, per jcs's op, one would open the command prompt in windows, and cd to the correct directory where the palmenv,bat file and fix-webOS-certs.sh reside. Then run "palmenv" the run "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh" file.
For some reason, I doubt he was suggesting changing from windows to Ubuntu when running these commands, but I may be wrong...as I often am.
I know I'm dumber than a hay rake, but really, can someone please explain in detail for this newbie, what he needs to do to run both of those commands? Refer to a previous post link if unfamiliar with what op I'm trying to perform...and am on the last step 7d
I think the issue is that you are trying to install WebOS.
Not sure of the help you are going to get with that as many of us have moved on a while ago and no
longer have the interest in it. You might want to check on other threads where it is relevant.

Yes, that is what the procedure does that jcs has outlined. And thanks for the reply. I have got webos installed which was the easy part, however, running the last two commands appear to be a matter of proper input...which several advices have been given, but none have worked. I was hoping that someone, other than the author of the procedure, had tried it or at least someone may be familiar enough with this type of input to help. Oh well, thanks again.
Progress with novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
Was able to finally run novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh after previously receiving unable to locate device message by booting HP Touchpad into developer/USB mode and running novaterm.bat from the terminal folder and connecting from the menu. I was then able to run novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh from the Command Prompt but it does not appear to have run successfully.

I am trying everything I can to get the HP Touchpad wifi working after having done a complete wipe before a system restore and learning the HP Servers are no longer supporting. I have Cyanogenmod 11 installed and wifi worked for approximately one day after each install. When I try to connect to any access point it only says "saved" afterward and the signal seems to drop to zero while connecting. Another strange occurrence is the fact that the wifi mac address that shows in the advanced menu of Cyanogenmod does not match the previously saved mac address on my home wifi set up as an extra security measure. The mac is the same in the device info menu of WebOS when trying to install but getting the message that servers can not be accessed to finish the install. When it was connected for a short time after Cyanogenmod install the MAC address was correct but since it has changed will not connect and the new address gives an unsupported message when trying to add to my network devices list. I have tried all posted troubleshooting steps as well as having installed Busy Box and attempting to change the Mac address manually. I get operation not supported at that prompt in the Terminal Emulator on the Touchpad. Has anyone come across this or been able to get their HP Touchpad working properly with Cyanogenmod 11?
