According to the Android dev center there is CDMA support for Android 1.6. On HTC's development center there are open system images for Android, and even radio ROMs (probably GSM as they are for the Dream). I was wondering if there was anyone capable of making anything for the Titan anytime soon? Sprint's releasing the HTC Hero with android on it today, and maybe there will be luck on porting that to Titan or something of that nature.
Heres the HTC Dev Center link.

I would love to try this on my retired titan if some one need help testing
I don't think you can "flash" android to the titan (not that I know of anyway), but you can use haret to boot into android from the SD card. I'm not sure if anyone has a 1.6 build running, but I've ran 1-1.5 before. It's not the most stable thing, some features don't work, but it is usable.
Here's some threads that may interest you:

I just tried version 1 I guess thats what it was. DAMN!! thats all i can say.. Was Daaaamnnn... I wanna see this availiable for 1.6 it looks real sharp and it actually makes the xv6800 run smooth as silk like it should...
sort of working
I was able to get the version from the first post booted from the memory card. It was the first time i had used the interface and I must say it was promising. however my 6800 is not my primary phone and is not provisioned on Verizon's system. the WI-FI was not working and therefore I coud not get google maps to get any data. it would not use the usb calbe either.
thanks for pointing me to the threads above.
1.6 does work on the Titan BUT GPS is broken in the vogue-android files out there ATM.
Google vogue-android and you should find the right files and a good guide, its the one on code.google.com.
Enjoy.
So this will definetly work on the Titan? I am just paranoid.
http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
That zip file from the older thread. Is there a newer one since I am sure the files have changed?
edit: oh that zip file is not online anymore. So can anyone zip the new files and post it here? Thanks!
I am also looking to get 1.6 running on my Titan, I can't get the marketplace to run with any of the 1.5's i install.
i got myns warm donut to work on my titan, but i can only load it through haret. im thinking that if someone made an .NBH file to load through RUU utility, we may be able to NAND this!
edit.. it works, but when the screen locks.. it wont recognize the menu button to unlock
your power button is the menu button when the screen locks
Warm on Titan....Wow!
May I ask, which version of MYNS Warm did you use and which keyboard panel?
I can't wait to try it out. I am currently enjoying RLS3 on my kaiser.

There is a good pack on a site called NerdIT. I can't do outside links yet (stupid forum rules!). But type this into Google: Android ION titan and look for the NerdIT release.
Then go to this forum and look at the 3rd page of "Android Titan Package" for the proper default.txt.
and use the default.txt I've put up there. This will show the proper resolution. It works pretty well, but it's sloooow so overclock with the Nue tool. The hard buttons are weird but there are sites to show you what they do.
So does Myn's Warm donut work fine with the mogul?
Runs smooth?
All i wanna know is if
* the keyboard works
* Internet connection works
* Making Phone calls work
* text works
Im trying to help a friend out who has a mogul.
And since you guys have first hands experience thatll be great.
(i don't need instructions on how to do this; very familiar with haret.exe and .nbh cuz im currently using myn's on nand for my htc vogue.)
thanks again if you can provide any info.

well, mym's runs at OK speeds with a fast enough SD card, mine isint fast so i stick with the old google ion android 1.5 build, it runs fast and has very few glitches, obviously, camera, wifi and bluetooth dont work fully but market works partially (no paid apps show up). with a fast enough SD card id actually reccomend mssmison's eclair build, it runs just as fast as mym's warm donut but its on android 2.1 witch means it has a ton more features. if you wish i will upload my default.txt and zimage files because the zimage is a pain to get the updated version for the mogul and the default.txt has a few modifications. just send me a PM and ill upload the files for you.

Which files did you use for Myn's Doughnut?? I tried the SQSH files, but they won't install, and i tried the "andboot" folder method also won't work. 2 Gb card formatted to fat32.

You have to initiate the install i believe.
When you run haret.exe you have to press and hold the center button on the d-pad
Press and hold that button as soon as your phone restarts (as a result from clicking run on haret.exe)
Just keep holding the center button and a menu should pop up in about 20 seconds or less. use the directional pad to navagate and choose
install system on ext2 partition
install data on ext2 partition
Now if you didnt make ext 2 partitions (sd card just purely fat32)
then you choose install system
Can someone give me the kink?
Can someone please give me a link of android that runs on the mogul with marketplace and the steps on how to get internet working on it. Thanks
does this also work with the ppc 6800 titan that is unlocked?
i mean i have spl-2.40 with ppck 23569 running.
isnt the mogul and titan the same thing?
i google "mogul phone" and it returns with ppc6800 which i believe is my phone but called the TITAN
idk.

Can anyone confirm or deny that either of the two programs work with the brand new rom?
They didn't with 3.27. There also is a newer version of Card Export out now.
Still not working for me on the official 3.35 ROM. I'd love to get this fixed. That was an essential feature for me and it sucks not having it.
Were you referring to Card Export II 3.08 or WM5torage?
both....
I was running Card Export 3.06, so when I saw your post I was hoping 3.08 would work. Installed it and still no love. This sucks.
Edit: I submitted a bug report at Softick's website. Here's hoping for a resolution
WM5torage 1.75 works with the new rom.
Not working for me. Did you do anything special? What ROM are you running? I'm on the official Sprint 3.35 release.
Also posted at PPCGeeks,
For those interested in Card Export/WM5torage:
I don't know about everyone else, but the ability to use my phone as a flash drive for transfering files is a huge advantage for me. Activesynce/WMDC blows, and is not installed on every computer. Since the update to 3.XX ROMs, neither of these programs has worked (at least for me). I've been in touch with Softick (makers of Card Export) and I think we will have a solution soon. I've run some debug programs for them and they have developed a working version. Not sure when the final release will be, but hopefully soon. I was amazed at how responsive their team was. The day after I emailed them, the developer was in contact with me. I ran some debug programs, and the next day he had a working test version for me to try. Really awesome to see them working that quickly to develop a fix. If I hear anything about the final release I'll post again. Just thought some people might want to know.

is this inaccurate information??
i have both working on dcd 3.01 rom with the new 3.35 radio. I also discovered a way to unhide the extrom in dcd's kitchen and without the bug that happens when u follow this links suggestion : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ghlight=EXTRom
I have the phone recognize my extrom as a Mounted Volume or a harddrive for a lack of a better term. This means that since it is recognized as other than an extension of the primary, u could get files to treat it like a 2nd harddrive, maybe have a two OS's installed at 1 time. ( wm5 and then wm6 ) just boot into which 1 u want to use. or im working on trying to get the WM^ to treat it like a swap file for extra 10mb of memory. swap files r treated just like system memory by the Operating system.
any how u just have to make some reg changes and u are in business

would you care to further explain exactly how you got wm5torage and card export working on dcd's 3.01 rom with the new 3.35 radio? cause i jus tried both on the same rom and it's a no go for me, using the computer operating system windows XP. i have seen them work in linux.
well first i have the security and encryption off/ second, my version of both those progs are cracked, so they have been altered and third i thinks got something to do with the fact that i use QPST program which i have both 6700 and 6800 usb drivers on my phone. i use the 6700 usb drivers for that program and possibly thats what is making those programs work. U know because i havent had a problem with them i never thought about it./ but i couldnt but a 100 percent sure, but it would be my best guess. besides from my last post u can see that i have been messing with my extrom in which i use the 2 progs to help me with
how'd u get the 6700 usb drivers on your phone? u cooked it in using dcd's kitchen? where'd u get the 6700 drivers from? the apache kitchen??
card export II seemed to work w/ linux for me (did an "ls" to see the directory listing), However, when used with Server 2003 (my regular desktop that has activesync), it mounted itself, but when I went to see the drive, it was empty.
exactly the same for me. works in linux...and is visible but empty in windows. wonder how bunvilla got it to work. he's the only one so far that's been able to get them working.
says the drivers from the 6700 is on his 6800...sounds very likely to work that way but.....wonder how he got the drivers from the 6700??
Hopefully they will figure out something soon. This program is really helpful.
i want to make sure we are on the same page ok. When i use that program I only have access to my SD card. I cant access my phone folders. So when im at work and i want to save something to my sd card i turn on Card Export II 3.08 and then the little green light comes on and in a minute it shows up when i click "my computer" icon. But u know something ever since i changed the extrom to Mounted Volume ( no i didnt just rename the Extrom to Mounted Volume) it shows up too as a little 9mb removeable drive right below my Sd card.
so in the main directory there are 2 extra removable drives that shows up, and the only thing i can think of is my SDcard is formatted fat32.
Oh and by the way i didnt extract the 6700 usb drivers from a 6700 phone, i got them from a website and i rename my usb drvs for the 6800 and use the 6700 usb drvs and then switch when im done.
someone told me that i was doing it the hard way but it works for me. hope this helps some,
there are those times when stuff jus doesnt work for everyone else. sound like a lucky dude and congrats...cause NO ONE else can get it to work. not even the company who created the program. they're supposed to be working on a fix now.
well u know something else that i have that nobody else seems to have is the extrom , on my version of DCD' 3.01 everyone else seem to have issues with that too. at best they get extrom and extrom2 showing up when they use No2chem unlock extrom in the root directory of thier phone. I include a thumb shot of my root and u will see that i not only fixed that issue i also have the extrom show up as a removable drive and it changed from extrom to Mounted Volume and i didnt rename it that, it happened because of the reg edits i made and flashdrv.dll i used. im surprised that doesnt get your curiosity. I can both read and write to it, might even be able to add it to the pagepool. im working it right so i will let u know if i succeed .
WM5torage 1.8 hacked version working
Hey all. Found this on one of the kaiser forums.
I can verify that I have successfully used this cab on my sprint mogul with OLD stock rom 2.17
The steps required are as follows:
1.Install hacked cab below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=69221&d=1202300677
2.Soft Reset
3.Click yes to install card export and then OK to error messages
4.Open WM5torage and disable rndis
Note:According to thread, this will not work if you have ever installed card export on your system. Not sure why
Note 2: I am using 512microsd card with stock rom. I am about to reflash (for a change) and will repost later with my custom rom based on new 3.35

it gets my curisoty as well. one thing i have to say is it appears your level of geekiness is definitely a step above mines. u're a smart guy man. would be nice if you could maybe dump that rom of yours for us and maybe create a bunvilla's rom based off dcd's 3.01 with wm5torage and a mountable extrom working. im almost certain it would get a substantial amount of users.

Good news
I would to try it out. Can you upload your android package here?
yes, nike users can use the package for the vogue. the problem for me was that nike could not wake up after sleeping because we have different key mapping than vogue or kaiser. how is ur battery life?
im on school right now.
when im home, ill upload a complete rip of my SD card.
what i've done is the following:
i downloaded the pack for the HTC kaiser/vogue etc.
then i used the default.txt from a android made for the htc niki.
the only thing i changed in there was change "Zimage" to "Zimage-monsha"
then i could just install the andoid on my sd card and run it.
i don't know about the battery life yet, i didn't test it very well yet.
it's pretty laggy though so it will need some very good improvements.
Did your data work? I also got eclaire runniung on nike on ext2 partition using the methods from the vogue forums, but I noticed some issues:
- No data
- Slow
- I Tried to patch the new 3d driver stuff into the kernel. Afterwards i had accellerated graphics without textures (live wallpapers). But i have the same issue on some combinations of older builds, kernels and rootfs.
I also tried other builds from ext2 (all without rootfs, no working data on any of them , but it seems like the old versions with rootfs work better (-> data works)
i did not test it anymore.
i was at school.
rightnow im at home, so ill make a rip of my sd card, this is not formatted in ext2 or something.
i just deleted all the data on the sd card, and i just installed it.
it will take a while to upload, cause its pretty big.
right now im going to upload the .rar file.
it is 115 MB big, so make sure your sd-card is bigger than 512 MB

i tryed with sleepmode on 0, and it just worken, also on 1 it just worked.
i do not know how to see if full sleep is working, but it could be also working on the HTC Touch-Dual *NIKI*
set pm.sleep_mode=4. Data don´t work. Data don´t work on Nike with more new Android OS like donuts(1.6) or eclair(2.1) only in olders like android 1.5. Nike handsets lacks of android developers. We have no luck like Polaris/Vogue/Kaiser/Diamond users
i know, but i edited the default.txt a lil, by changing the resolution, i had less lagg, but it does not show the whole screen :S
even when im using the resolution of the screen :X
if u set the sleepmode to 0, can u wake the device? i never been able to. could u post just your default.txt here? anyway, data is working for me.
Running
I tried this, i'ts running, here's my report:
1. I cannot make a call (incoming or outcome).
2. I cannot send the SMS
but the operators carries found..

yes it awakes then.
and i did not test it with sim yet, the first thing i wanted to do is a good fast stable android build.
i found one, only one problem:
you cannot install it on your niki, i have to take the data.img and system.img from a HTC Kaiser(which uses my dad)
i already got a rip, right now im going to test if that works.
then i will delete all settings in there, and upload it here, one thing; it is REALLY fast!!

Hi there,
Tried it here in Germany. Boots fine, but no Data. Carrier shows up and after creating a new APN, The Modem APP shows active Connection, IP Address and so on. But for some Reason, there's no Flow of Data...
Any Ideas ?

Data don´t work on Nike with the more newest android builts. We lack developers
I noticed that data works on eclair and donut, but the connection drops after a (very) short time. Sometimes I was able to load one or two webpages after a fresh boot until the connection went down (20Key Nike, O2 Germany). I also got google sync once working for a few seconds (enough to fetch mail).
So it seems to be more a stability issue than a general lack of data connection.
Does anyone have developent experience with android? I am now compiling the eclair build with the latest libraries from the vogue andoid git tree, but if someone already knows were the data problem is or what it could be i could find a faster solution, any in the development would be great.

It´s true. It is like get freezed. If you go to modem and you want to disconnect it say disconnected but you can see still the icon and sometimes the up arrow. After this if you want to turn off the hanset you can´t and its needed a soft reset. So after get connect and with a luck to browse two webpages it get freezed
just curious. with the sd card haret method, i got myns warm donut working on mine so far (just cant figure out all of the button mapping).
i have ryans low mem 23518 6.5 installed in the background, but wouldn't it be so nice to NAND android? i think the only thing stopping it is a working NBH file.
Asking the same question.
Care to post a step-by-step for how you got the vogue's donut to work? Would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
basically, from myns warm donut topic

-i went here http://magister.ipsys.net/?page_id=69&lang=en
i downloaded the file from here and donwloaded the file at the bottom of the page. i ONLY used the default.txt file
-extract myns sqsh folder, and it should give you an android folder with a bunch of stuff on it
-put the android folder on your sd card
-put the default mogul txt file into the android folder and overwrite the existing one in there
-run haret and wait like 5 mins
the android sign while loading is cut across the screen weird, and i cant figure out all of the buttons yet
hey, thanks for the info staticchmbr, but im having a slight problem, when i get into the install screen it asks if you want to install when you press the center button but i cant figure out for the life of me how to get the answer over to no.. its making me feel stupid >.<
EDIT: nevermind, i got it like 20 seconds after i posted this...
yea, just make sure that you download the classic sqsh folder, not the norootfs ones. this has worked with multiple android builds.
im having troubles with the market though,. i can go in and start downloading, but the progress bar doesnt move.
ALSO, on myns, once the screen locks, i cant unlock it. i guess the buttons are mapped differently on that. i have used some kaiser/vogue builds as well
im honestly suprised no one has gone through and mapped the keys for the titan, i dont know if its that simple (i honestly doubt it is) to make it fully compatable with the titan, or im my case, mogul (PPC6800, same exact phone as the titan)
does anyone know if this build will enable wifi or bluetooth for the sprint mogul? Thanks.
I'm mostly a business user and neither Android or WP7 can fully do what poor little 6.5 can do as of now.
I did search this & saw in a link in:
HTC Leo: HD2HD2 Windows Phone 7HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A and General
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922030
but I thought that since 6.5 would have to be ported to an SD card, this topic shoould be in HD2 6.5 section? So I thought I'd start a thread here for any news or updates....
I know Cotulla/DFT is working on it. I would imagine there'd be a great interest in this. I personally can't wait.
Also a Question:
If/when it is ported, would a ROM have to be specifically made for each port i.e. Dutty ROM or KWBR ROM or would you be able to drop any ROM onto SD card?
I guess with 300,000+ subscribers I'm the only one....

No, man. I also eagerly wait, but i will be patient to wait, unless I can give a hand and help the devs

I'm sorry if i come off as impatient. I'm really not. Just thought if the interest level was high, it would be more likely to happen sooner. I'll live just fine with what i got until it happens.
Me too
Would be great.
"poor little 6.5 can do as of now"....
well in my opinion it's not., my 6.5 is a BEAST! thats why i didnt switch yet to wp7 or android.. winmo 6.5 is the main source of everything stable and fast.. without it there will be no wp7 and android on our hd2..
Hi, I also would like this to happen, as i have inported WP7 to my HD2 which is good but lacks good apps.
As for WP7 im looking for a good sat nav like Tomtom and Copilot live 8, but they both say that they are not making one for WP7.
Thats why I would like to run WP7 and have a SD bootable WM6.5 for Tomtom or Copilot which I had before on my HD2 WM6.5
So please can someone make one
I to think being able to boot Window Mobile 6.5 from SD would be really awsome. We all know that the DFT has annouced they are working on makeing this possible but I beleive this is going to be even harder and take much longer than Andriod did. You have to take into consideration the meir size of the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS is so much bigger than other OS's. So compiling all the code to work in a SD format is going to take time.But if anyonr can do it the DFT are the ones. I really wish there was something I could do to help those vuys out with this venture, but I am not versed enough with writting and compiling code yet to be of any real assistance.
Kudoes to the DFT and all thier hard work.
wm6.5 to sd card
hi,
this is exactly what i wish, i hav tried wp7 on hd2 android sd version, but what makes wm6.5 as my preferd os is
- wm6.5 is less dependant on cellular data connectivity
-ease of access to file system through file explorer and total commonder, though android has evolved from very little to a lot better explore but still u cant beat the wm6.5
- a lot of file and work can be accessed & edited if u wish to work offline
- wp7 & android have made user more dependant on online storage of documents & programs so i feel like being dependant on the online storage
- Most important point is that the progrem setup cabs can be saved on the device and it gives the ease and conveniance to install mod or work back to user coustomization without the need to connect to the desktop/laptop or data connection.
So all in all wm6.5 is still preferable as a choice as one of the os if there is dual boot(in my case wp7&wm6.5 dual boot)
all i can say is though i do like wp7 but until it gives evolves to the freedom & ease offer wm6.5 i think we feel the need of having wm6.5 sd port/rom.
if any developer will be working on porting wm6.5 to sd card i will be happy to contribute to him.
Please if any developer is already doing so then kindly point me to that place
My gut feeling is this won't happen :-(

@pinkjpr: there's a solution for your last problem, though it's a bit complicated. Install your program via the marketplace. Then also need ASTRO file manager (probably other tools, maybe even free ones, will be suitable as well). Now go to tools-->SD-Backup Manager (or something like that, can't remember the name). Chose the program you want to backup, click the "save" button (or similarly named). Now you can use the search function to look up your newly created apk (distinguish between them via date of creation). Tap and hold +send via mail or connect your phone to the PC and copy the apk on your computer.
The first step (Backup Manager) isn't always necessary.

Anon1811:-
My friend, u r missing my point,. please correct me if i m wrong, but apk files are for android os, just like the cab files in wm6.x, and i am referring about wm6.x & wp7,
secondly most of the android applications are web based and advertizement sponcered so u need a working data connection to use most of them (i m not saying all of them). & that brings u back to working internet data, and if u are in a remote location where u dont have network then u hav only limited functionality& cant use most of apps, so the device is more like a flash light or a paper waight,
finally about customization, i am not saying backup restoration, i am saying a fresh installation with what ever apps u want to use again and leave the ones u dont wish to,
and lastly u are saying to connect to PC/Laptop, so again u must carry ur laptop with you so u back to the dependence on PC & data connectivity
i think u havent explored windows mobile for long so u are underestimating its potential compared to android
I'm having quite a hard time finding the correct instructions. I'm trying to run Android on Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2. I did manage to run Android 2.2 from SD card, but it was very slow and sluggish. I was wondering if there's an option to run a more advanced Android version, like Ice Cream Sandwich, also from SD card as dual boot option.
Any suggestions or help out there?
Thanks in advance!

Gingerbread was the last version created for the TP2.
The experience of the SD card version relys heavly upon the sd card you run it from.
Read this thread for more SD card/OS requirements info.
Here are the basic instruction for loading a NAND version of android.
I run GB0X for my daily, and while it is not perfect I am over all happy with it.

Problem is, I'm not familiar with many of the quoted texts, which only adds to my confusion. The second link you provided is totally Chinese to me. The last link I'm not exactly sure if that is the Gingerbread you mentioned. And it also seems that it involves flashing the phone, which I didn't really want to do. I want to dual boot from SD card, so I can revert to Windows Mobile if something goes wrong...

First, if FroYo is slow what makes you think ICS will be fast? lol.
See this thread for a newer version of XDAndroid, based on Gingerbread.
That's the newest and probably the most stable version you can run from the SD card. As was stated, performance is heavily dependent on the SD card itself - and higher class != higher performance here. Operating Systems need high random read/write performance, which is not what classed cards are measuring for speed...
Regardless, NAND runs a bit better IMHO. If you still want WinMo, you'll have to deal with the slowness of running it off the SD card - although to be honest there's not a huge bottleneck by running it on the card.

As I'm still new to Android, you can't expect too much from me... I just assumed that if FroYo is sluggish, a newer version could probably be faster. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. I guess it indeed also depends on RAM, ROM, and who knows what else.
Anyway, I downloaded your latest link, copied the unzipped files to the root of my SD card (unfortunately I wasn't aware of the fact that higher classes will perform better, so I got a class 2 card last week). As per the instructions, I copied all .csv files from the \Windows directory to the same root of the SD card. I also copied the RHOD400 startup .txt file (which as I assume is the one for my HTC Touch Pro 2). When I then try to run the HARET.exe, the phone crashes and simply reboots back in WinMo...
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

the recommended cards are the lower class Sandisk ones class 2 should be good. Higher Class cards are not good for running an OS from. it is also recomended that you format the SD with the "HP Tool" http://www.eocfiles.com/bdc86eb1ed2989c30dcd1902e84939ae/bootdisks/SP27608.exe before you put GBX0C on it. I also have a sprint TP2 and have had problems with 16GB SD cards had to use an 8GB.

This is exactly what worked for me. have you set win mo to airplane mode before starting HARET? it is recomended round here but did not produce a reboot when I did not do it.

First, re-read my post - I said higher class != better performance - as in does NOT equal.
Also, as was previously stated - it sounds like you did everything correctly. Do you have a funky WinMo ROM? I know some ROM's 'fake' what type of device it is, and this doesn't play with HaRET well - because HaRET actually believes what WinMo is telling it... I can't remember the ROM's off hand that do this, but the jist is they try to fake as if the device is the Leo aka HD2... which it obviously is not...
The only other thing I can think of is did you reuse anything? Literally anything, from FroYo? Data.img, anything? Please don't reuse a single file. Start fresh with GBX0C, including a new startup.txt.
Thanks all! So I formatted my SD card again with the HP tool, copied back all files from the zipped folder, copied over the csv files from \Windows and tried to run HaRET again. Sadly, same story. First the progress bar comes up with "Loading Linux", but around halfway it crashes, and the phone boots up in WinMo again.
The ROM itself is stock from Sprint, I didn't change anything on that. And with FroYo I used HARET as well, and there it worked fine. Except no ringtones (!!!) and no bluetooth (!!!). The other difference is that with FroYo I did not get instructions to copy over csv files. Could that be the cause?
I definitely didn't copy over any FroYo files to this one...
Thanks!

FroYo doesn't require the CSV's.
You're not reusing any files? Nothing is being reused at all?
You have a RHOD400?
Have you tried different SD cards?
It's a brand new Sandisk 8 gb class 2 micro sd, never used before. Downloaded the original files from the provided link. I think maybe to use the provided csv files instead of my own...

Do you have WinMo overclocked with WiMoSpeed or something of the like? Haret will crash if you are using something other than the 528MHz stock speed.

I managed to find a friend, borrowed his 8 GB Class 4 card, formatted with HP tool, copied all files, including csv. Same crash with his card...
I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2. According to my research, and to the sticker in back of battery, it should be the RHOD400.

Not on the battery, under the battery on the phone itself, yes? Then yes, you have a RHOD400. Especially if it's 'Sprint' branded...
Ok, do this. First, run HaRET.exe with NO startup.txt. You can copy HaRET.exe to another location (root of SD, etc) - or rename your startup.txt to startup.bak or something. Then run HaRET.exe and tell us what you see in the box.
Next, perhaps try EVERYTHING from GBX0C except for the startup.txt. Still fails? Try the HaRET.exe and startup.txt from FRX07. Let us know.
So here's my latest update:
I tried removing the startup.txt file, crashed. Tried to run the HaRET.exe file on its own, crashed. Tried to use the startup.txt from FRX06 (which is different from the GBX0C one, I checked). Crashed.
Finally tried to use the HaRET.exe from FRX06, and now it works! Runs Android 2.3.7!
I guess for now the issue is solved. Will have to continue testing. BT and ringtones didn't work with FRX06. Should it work now?
By the way, here's a screenshot of what happened when I didn't have the startup.txt.

When mixing and matching files there is no way to know what will work. You will just have to post your results.

Thanks. Just checked bluetooth. Sadly, it doesn't work. Takes about 10-15 seconds when I check the turn on box, but then it remains off... Wondering if there's a fix for that. Ringtones are fortunately working.
But I have another issue so far. While outgoing SMS messages seem to work fine, I don't get the incoming messages. Any ideas?

Machine Type Leo - Exactly what I said earlier. Your WinMo ROM is trying to fake like you have an HD2 not a TP2... That's the whole reason HaRET.exe doesn't work. Your ROM is lying.

Text messaging should work fine. With you mixing and matching so much, and having god knows what for a WinMo ROM... who knows what's wrong. Did you boot Android with WinMo in airplane mode?
