[Q] Video tutorials for upgrading from donut to eclair and rooting the phone?

Hi guys,
First of all I want to tell you guys that I dont have any knowledge in using android OS. So it would be very kind of you if you guys can provide a video tutorial of upgrading the android 1.6 to 2.1 and rooting it.
I am familiar with flashing and customizing windows mobile but I know android is entirely different from that. I hope someone can provide the video tutorial.
Thanks and regards,
Bobby Thomas.

I dont think theres a video out there, tho theres alot of guides around, trust me its really easy rookies do it without ant problems u just need to fallow every step.
Sent from my GT540

I will try and make one for you!
Thats when i get my gt540 back.
In about 1 week
That ok?

ok, working on it.
e2: rendering the video, but i have to say: my english isnt the best, but its "understandable" we in germany call this "denglisch"

tada.

Thank you guys...
First of all I want to thank DonPanda for the nice video, I also want to thank jealumalai111462, m4nu4l for there valuable suggestions. And most importantly I'm expecting a video tutorial from one of our senior members flyboyovyick.
Regarding the DonPanda's video, I didn't clearly understand the KDZ updater program part as the program was in russian, and also the rooting part. It will be very helpful if you can provide a close up of the various task that we will need to do in the "handset". I couldn't follow anything that you did with the mobile.(I'm sorry to tell you that I am so dumb in android.) And thank you guys for the nice support.
More over I just want to know whether flashing custom ROM can brick the phone? What all steps should I be careful in that case?
Thanks and Regards,
Bobby Thomas.

First u have to download the ROM u want to install. The ending of the file is .KDZ like an *.exe but.. ye... .kdz
After u download the .kdz file, put it in a folder where ever u want. Start the Windowsenabler.exe from the .zip-file in that thread.
Second start the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe and choose the in step 1 downloaded .kdz file during pressing the "folder open" button.
After u did this, and ur phone has "Debugging mode" active (Settings -> Applications -> development -> USB Debugging [Check]), pres the field with the many "??? ? ? ? ????? ?????" twice.
The .kdz (ROM) extract itself and install ur costumrom on ur device.

After the new 2.1 Android is installed, reboot ur phone, reset usersettings to fabric standard (Settings -> Privacy -> reset bla).
Download This file, extract to anywhere, connect ur phone via debug and start the "root.bat" file.
Ur phone restarts shortly and vuala, ur device is rooted.

Well, there is everytime a basic risk while flashing ur device. No one can say "ye, it will work for u" or "no, please don't do it!"
Normally the public product works on every Smartphone. As i said - normally.
In percent under 3 %, but... 3 % is much.

U cant do anything. When u'r phone finally bricks, its broken.
In this case u can open a thread here in XDA-board and post ur problem like here and here. As u can see we got nice members who help with handshake.

Best thing i can suggest is to take some time and have a read around the forum you will soon get to know things that you want to try out. Before i did anything i picked a ROM that i liked found out how to flash it and then decided on which software that i wanted (if it wasn't included). Basicly so i had as few settings to change as possible after flashing

Check out the link in my signature for some great flashing resources.
Resco Explorer is a good file exporer

Thnx...
Thnx Man

need help

Hi, guys.. Let me introduce myself..
I am one of the extreme noobs you hate, and I hate doing this to you.. but I couldn't find another way then posting for help..
Here's my problem..
I recently got a Kaiser, with a 8Gb SDHC card,and wanted to install Android for it.. I read all the guides, and thought I could manage myself..
I choose a Haret version, to see how the Android works, and then maybe later do a Nand version ( all you guys keep telling its the better choice ) .
I choose Scoot_CyanogenMod_7.1.0_RLS3 android version first.. but as i couldn't install it.. i downloaded a Incubus26Jc's version Super Froyo RLS15 version..
I did all the guide said.. downloaded atools, started it choose the device, resolution and the version... ( i didnt know what to choose, Develop or Stable version, so i tried both ) .. On the panel type , i choose 2 .. On key map i choose Normal .. on FStab i choose Partition 2 on all the tabs.. I did all the steps in rom mix .. downloaded a haret.. In boot scripts editor I choose partition 2 again, checked the Install system, Fix permission, clear Davik cache and Use SD partitioner.. Divided the sd card on two partitions.. Saved all the files.. And tried several times.. And I still cant install the freaking android..
Maybe my problem is i dont have a working brain.. i dont know..
Anyhow.. if anybody wants to help me.. please give any advice ..
Thanks in advance.

I made some pics of what I'm doing, so if anybody sees where I am mistaking, pls let me know.

Maybe something is wrong with my kernel.. i dont even know how to check my kernel version.. When I check my settings, in section named about.. I see this
CE OS 5.2. 19212 (Build 19212.1.0.3)
and in the Device Information
ROM version: 3.29.422.1.WWE
ROM date: 05/20/08
Radio version: 1.65.20.29
..any comment or suggestion would be nice..

same issues as me!!!

really.. so im not alone
Did you manage to achieve something.. I'am still trying.. I am choosing the right settings, but when haret starts booting, after a while it start doing same step over and over again..

I don't see startup.txt and haret in your directory
Your partitions "system" and "data" are at the same place

Haret is there, i forgot to take a pic after putting haret in the andboot folder.. I'am using haret-for-kernel-2-6-32 version btw..
What is a startup.txt .. i haven't seen that step in the installation guide ?
And I didn't realize that system and data should be at different places.. I thought I should put them both in partition 2.. Where should I place them ??
Thanks a lot for taking a look at my problem. :)

I don't use partitions, so no help on that case specifficaly.
startup.txt is what makes your phone to boot... u need it!
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------
this is the guide I used

If the startup.txt is same as default.txt document.. then I have it..

I did it .. finally installed Incubus26Jcs Super FroYo .. Doesn't look bad..Thanks everybody for helping !

you're welcome

Thank you..........

Ok guys, so after reading this forum for some time, I managed to install Android, using NAND.. and I'm very thankful for all the help i got from this forum.. but, i have some problems.. Some applications ain't working, or they are reaaaaly slow.. like Viber, Skype .. and some other more demanding apps.. My question to all you guys that are running Android on Kaiser is : What's your experience with it, and what's your setup?
Maybe Kaiser is just to slow for some apps, and only solution is to overclock it using Rogue tools, or to find the optimal set-up ?
Anyway, i'm running My Modified Fresh Froyo Release 20-2-2011, with clemsyn's kernel.. and my radio version is 1.70.19.09.

Dude, this phone is 5 years old, u gotta understand and Viber, Skype! those are some heavy apps
Well, my kaiser is real smooth, with launcher pro, it's delicious But calculating takes a while, like opening apps, sending messages trough the internet, playing games...
I'm running same radio, same rom, and kernel...well that kernel's old! use liquid's kernel! It's the newest one on the atools! BUT for this you need to make a androidupdate.tgz or .tar just go into recovery and after installing the system install the update
the link for kernel and update attached is here with the update attached on the second post! Good Luck! NOw I gotta poop! xD

Yeah, I know it's old.. just wanted to check with other people..
Tnx a lot for your help, will try l1qu1d kernel and update !!

Don't forget to make the androidupdatet.gz or it willl say it failed! Didn't you use that kernel on the SD? Cause if you did, you also had to apply the update

[Q] Please Help! I can't find anything similar

In the process of trying to flash a ROM to my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate I897, I ended up Bricking it. After searching XDA-Developers.com I came across a post about a One Click UnBrick Tool that was made by the XDA-Developer.com User AdamOutler. I'm assuming that I didn't do something correctly while trying to UnBrick my phone, because when I turn it on, The AT&T Boot Screen comes on, and then the word Samsung starts going <- and -> until it eventually freezes, and the left side of the screen turns a Greenish color. My Question is, has anyone EVER seen this screen, and if so, what is it? And How does one fix it? I also have a Video on YouTube, unfortunately this is only my 2nd post on XDA, so I'm currently not able to post my video on here, and when I try to embed it, that doesn't work either. ;-( SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
In case you would like to see my video that is on YouTube.com the link is h t t p : / / w w w . y o u t u b e . c o m / w a t c h ? v = q T U I y b 5 3 7 H s [ / u r l ]

Can you get it into recovery mode? If you can, wipe and install a ROM from there.
I haven't seen that happen.
Btw starting two threads about the same exact thing is frowned upon.

Nah I can't get it into recovery or download mode. I don't know what to do. And I couldn't figure out how to post a video in my post and in turn accidentally posted this one and the other. Sorry

i am waiting for ur reply.. i hope to talk with u guys sooner.

I was like u couple of weeks ago. Didnt knew nothing. Total noob. But what can I say. Read the forums and use Google. Enough info there. All your questions have already been answered
No need to let people tell u what 2 do. Especially not in a way u would tell a 5 year old child. Sounding kinda lazy, if you ask me. Search and make a little effort since u already did some research. I would say do some more.
And if u really want it, u can even upgrade your OS to 4.1.x (jelly bean)
