CREDIT TO scotchua FOR THE ORIGINAL IDEA FOR THIS THREAD
For those who haven't bothered to read the READ THIS BEFORE POSTING announcement by mrvanx, I brought it to you:
A few things you should keep in mind before posting to XDA-Developers forums:
Check if your question has been asked before
Some questions just keep popping up over and over. Please use the 'search function' in the menu above each and every page in the forum. Try entering a few keywords to see if your question has been asked before. If it has, please read the topics and see if you can figure it our from there. You can also search inside a topic if it has too many comments by using the search function (CTRL+F) in your browser. If you don't find the answer, please post a comment to the relevant thread instead of starting a new one.RTFW, or Read the Wiki
Chances are your question is already answered on the wiki: Make sure you browse through the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) before you start a new topic. If it's an obvious or common question, chances are someone has already put the answer there.ETFW, or Edit the Wiki
Information stored in the wiki is dynamic: The wiki makes it easy for anyone to contribute or edit pages, and link them together, it is the best way to keep all information current and accurate. If you ask something in the forum which you didn't find on the wiki previously, please take 5 minutes of your time to EDIT the wiki and add the information there when you get an answer. This is the only way to avoid tons of new threads asking the very same questions over and over and over again.
Don't be afraid of editing the wiki if you don't understand the wiki syntax: Formating may seem a bit complicated at the beginning, but you don't have to care too much if you just want to add content, add it as if you were writing a text document and sure someone more experienced with wiki syntax will edit it after and correct the bad formating mistakes.First time here?
If it's your first time here, we encourage you to read general XDA-Developers guidelines too, which is an extended version of what has already been said here. Please consider a few guidelines before posting to the Blackstone Forum and Subfora!
(also applies to other Fora!)
DO check whether your question has been asked before!
There are some questions that have been asked before several times.
Use the “Search” function on the brown menu bar on the top of the page. There you have the options the have Google search inside XDA-developers site or to use the built-in forum search.
If your search has no/unsatisfying results, try with different keywords.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If your question has been asked, read the thread or use the “Search” function to search through that specific thread.
If you don’t find the answer, try posting in that thread as chances are bigger someone can help you.
Alternatively you can start using the XDA-Developers FireFox & IE Search Bar Plug In.
DO read the Wiki!
Chances are that the answer to your question is already to be found in the Wiki. So please check the Wiki and read the FAQs.
DO edit the Wiki!
All the information that is stored in the Wiki is dynamic. Therefore it can be edited by everyone. Updating the Wiki in this way leaves us with an up to date Wiki which can successfully answer other user’s question only by reading it.
Also posting an answer you get on the forum to the Wiki helps other users with future similar questions.
Don't be afraid of editing the Wiki if you don't understand the wiki syntax: Formating may seem a bit complicated at the beginning, but you don't have to care too much if you just want to add content, add it as if you were writing a text document and sure someone more experienced with wiki syntax will edit it after and correct the bad formating mistakes.

5 way nav panel
Hi 13v5y
nice start hope it stays clean for you, Thanks
If i'v posted this in wrong place feel free to move it
question for TG** users
I'v been told that the TG** has a on screen nav_panel A little like a software version of the 5 way nav button on say "diamond and some older devices",
Is this true??
If so doe's anyone know which files from TG**, i need?
I got my HD2 and the only thing I would like to change is, I MISS the nav button so much,
A Touchable zone at bottom of screen would make HD2 easy to use with one hand
Thanks in advance
best regards

Yes it has a function called `Toshiba Free Pad`, This operate as cursor (up, down, left, right) and Enter keys. It also enable you to access the Start Menu.
I have no idea which files the program is in though
The `Free Pad` is also able to emulate the function of a pc mouse as well.

pros, more memory for your apps, faster drivers cooked in, less garbage m$ stuff on there.
cons, may brick your device or void warranty. you may need to find .cabs of stuff that has been removed.
pros > cons, imho.

I've got a weird one for you,
I'm running my TG01 on the ENG Malaysia Rom (SPB as standard).
All has been fine until 5 mins ago, when I use IE and navigate to a page, the page doesn't show up unless I tilt the screen (so it goes to landscape view). I've soft reset with no change, it's very irritating
Anyone know the fix for this?
Thanks!
Bluetooth headset
I've got a problem with the screen off while connected to a bluetooth headset. Basically, I listen to music through a bluetooth headset. So I have to put my phone to screen off(sleep) mode to avoid pressing the screen but whenever the bluetooth signal cuts out for 2 seconds the screens comes on. or when someone calls the screen stays on.
I've searched the forum and Im not been able to find a solution with the issue regarding this issue.
I'm sure im not alone with this issue. It will be great if someone can tell me how can I fix this please.
Thanks
Just to add I've tried different apps for screen off and the same problem.

Ok, this is gonna be a life saver for all the new people that just got here or the ones already here still trying to figure out how to upgrade to WM6. I'm gonna be showing you how to upgrade to Black Majik's cooked version of WM6.
This took me days of reading, and tons of trial and error but once I got it down, it was damn easy to do.
First off, I will give credit to all the sites that I had to read and sift through to find out what to do.
Mr. Vanx's Site - Excellent source of step by step info and more. Make sure to visit. Without this site I wouldn't have been able to do anything relying only on this forum.
XDA-Developers - I gotta give some credit to this site as some people are actually nice enough to help out on some of the small things that drove me crazy.
Win4Mobile - I haven't researched or used this site except to download some files I needed to complete this procedure. Thanks!
Google - This is one of the best search engines I have ever used and one I always eventually turn to when I have questions I need to find answers for.
Before we get started, this is what I am using to do the whole upgrade so no one needs to ask about it:
HARDWARE
Windows XP w/SP2
AMD XP Computer system, not super up to date but who cares it works.
AT&T 8525 Phone
Original USB cable that came inside the box.
Sandisk 2GB MicroSD Card - Not required but HIGHLY recommended. Don't be a cheapass, just buy one.
SOFTWARE
Download all these programs beforehand so it helps save time doing it individually later on and put them into a folder named 8525 or something that you can easily find.
SPL (Bootloader) version 2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7)
Radio version 1.43.00.00 (Optional but RECOMMENDED!)
ROM version: Windows Mobile 6 Black Majik
WPBEAR Custom CAB ATT/Cingular Settings - You need this if you want to be able to connect to MEdia Net. (Note: I used the version without the typical keyboard settings. You can use the one with it if you want. Download that version here - Keyboard)
WinRar - To extract any compressed files.
Keyboard Symbols Fix for 8525 - You will need to register to the site to download this file. This will fix the symbols because on this ROM the symbols are in different places than indicated on the physical keyboard.
Microsoft .net 2.0 Framework - You will need to have this installed on your system first before attempting any of this.
Microsoft ActiveSynce 4.5
DISCLAIMER: Carrying out the operations discussed in this guide will invalidate any manufacturers or carriers warranty and by following this guide YOU take responsibility for this. This upgrade guide is what it says (a guide) and I take no responsibility for any problems which occur due to use of this guide, by following the instructions EXACTLY there should be very little chance of a ruined device. If at any time the upgrade process is interrupted go straight to THIS THREAD in XDA-Developers to try to resolve the problem.
(Copied this little section from Mr. Vanx's site)
Okay lets get down to the nitty gritty of this. This How-To is a combined with info and links to Mr. Vanx's guide. I've streamlined and included some missing info that was pretty vital to completing the process.
STEP 1
A. Install ActiveSync 4.5 on your computer - Just follow the prompts, it installs pretty much the same way as every other program on your computer.
STEP 2
Since we're flashing to a new ROM all your old stuff will be ERASED! So we need to backup all the stuff you want and record all the settings you need.
A. We need to write down your device's name. To find that go to:
Start>Settings>System(Tab)>About(Icon)>Device ID(Tab)
If you don't record this down, then any programs you have payed for and installed won't work when you flash to the new ROM.
B. Move any documents you want onto either a MicroSD card or sync to your computer and upload it there.
C. Last, you need to write down any settings you use for programs such as Skype, BlackBerry Connect, etc. If you also have your email Pushed and/or Sync your contacts/tasks/calander with a remote server over GPRS then make sure to record those settings as well.
Note: I won't show you how to backup your programs you have installed because I didn't have any I needed or I was able to get them again and easily download and reinstall afterwards. Plus it's not the same way to backup every program that's out there so please use this forum and post on how to do that. Of course search for it to see if someone has already posted about it first.
STEP 3
A. Press and hold both the side buttons "OK" & the Power button and then at the same time use your stylus and hit the Reset button in the hole at the bottom of your 8525. Make sure you hold it down until you see the Bootloader screen and then you can let go of all the buttons.
B. Make note of the SPL version you have on your device. You don't need any other info, just the SPL version. If your SPL version is 2.10.olipro then you ALREADY HAVE HardSPLv7. You do not need to flash it again, just do a Soft Reset and move on to STEP 4.
C. Do a soft reset by using your stylus and hitting the Reset button in the hole at the bottom of your 8525 again.
D. Extract the HardSPLv7 file into a folder called HardSPL. You should have the two below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
E. Connect your 8525 to your computer using the USB cable that should have been included with your device. Only connect using the USB cable and no other way. Once connected, ActiveSync and your 8525 will take a little while to Sync up to each other. Let it do it's thing and wait until ActiveSync says "Connected".
F. Run the RUUWrapper.exe file. You will see a series of screens as below. Make sure to select all options colored in
RED
Follow this Link and follow the screens all the way to the bottom and come back here after the last screenshot. Do not continue onto the next page on Mr. Vanx's site yet.
IMPORTANT NOTE - You need to keep watch of your 8525 because a screen will pop up at the bottom of your device confirming to install the software. Make sure you select YES!
STEP 4
A. Now extract the HERM_Radinly_1.43.00.00_CustomRUU.rar file into a folder called "Radio".
B. You should get two files below:
C. As in Step 3, follow this Link and do the exact same thing. Come back here when you're done and also make sure to keep an eye on your 8525 once again because it will ask you to allow the install on your 8525. Again make sure to select YES.
D. After the Radio has installed, we will go to make sure it is the correct version. Go to:
Start>Settings>System(Tab)>Device Information(Icon)
The Radio should say "1.43.00.00".
STEP 5
A. Finally extract the BlackMAJIK.exe file and run it. Follow this Link and follow the screens once again and come back here when you're done. Hopefully you should remember but in case if you didn't, make sure to keep an eye on your 8525 and allow the program to install by selecting YES.
B. If you have followed the steps exactly up to this point, you will then next hear an audible tone on your device and you will go through the Device setup as normal. That includes setting the time/date, alignment, etc. But once you get to the email screen, press "Skip". That will be covered in the next part.
C. Disconnect the device from the computer and reconnect it. ActiveSync should recognize it and just let the computer and device Sync to each other. Follow the instructions on the following Link and come back here when you're done.
D. Copy both the Keyboard Symbols 8525 Fix.cab & wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab (wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab if you wanted the original keyboard settings) to your device using ActiveSync and open them up on your 8525 to install them.
E. Install any other programs you may have and load on your documents if wanted and you're all done!
Hopefully this How-To will help someone. I know it would have saved me tons of time and effort. Enjoy!!!

Yeah but that's 3 different places you need to go to read all about it. My post is like the way it is because of the fact that you can't post more than 10 pics on a thread, and only limited to so many characters.
Otherwise it truly would have been a one stop deal here. Jumping around is stupid and only leads to confusion for a lot of people and plenty of mistakes are usually made somewhere inbetween.
Honestly, most of the threads I have read aren't the easiest to decipher on how to do things.

Where exactly do you encounter that message in step 3? There are sub steps within the whole step 3.
Make sure you are looking at the screen on your 8525 when trying to install the SPL on your device from your computer. Your 8525 will ask to confirm if you will allow the install. I've made that point clear and that was missing in any instructions I have ever read before.
I figure it out...nevermind
I hadnt downloaded NET Framework yet!
Contacts?
I have followed all directions. All seems well except I can't get access to "my contacts" for some reason. I have done a soft reset several times. Not sure what to do. I really need access to my contacts (at the very least).
plz help
If I don't hear back soon I guess I will have to rid myself of Black Majik....I need my contacts...this is crucial. I even copied my pim.vol to the usual location but it is just like it isn't there. Nothing comes up from my contact list. I even see on MY DEVICE that the pim.vol file had been replaced with my saved one that I had pasted...but when I go to contacts...its like it never happened...no contacts...
Weird, I'm sorry but I didn't have any problems with my contacts. Then again I always backed them up to my sim card just in case if something like this happens.

Actually, those were 3 different resources. The first link was to the actual tutorial which was similar to yours. The other links were for related tutorials and guides, as MrVanx has done several upgrade guides for different OS, Radio, and Bootloader/SPL roms.
Well I like how mine CLEARLY defines what the thread is about. If there was one like this that easily told us what to do, I wouldn't have bothered wasting my time making my thread.
corrupt pim.vol file
I discovered that i have a corrupted pim.vol file! What does this mean and how do I fix this? I was told that I may need to downgrade back to wm5 but I need a step by step for this...lol...if I go back to my original ROM can I keep the SPLv7?
LOVE IT!!! Thanks for putting it together in a cohesive package so a first time flasher will know what to do!
Ive been messing with mine for a while but finally flashed it today.
Everything went fine, GOOD WORK!

See www.mrvanx.org for downgrade guides.
Yes, you can keep HardSPL. You only downgrade the SPL back if you are sending the phone in for service.
If I were you, I would just try to reflash a WM6 ROM instead of rolling back t WM5. I cannot see why a corrupt pim.vol file would have anything to do with your OS version. (But, I do not definitively know either.)
Excellent Work !
Xyberz excellent work, hats off to you
Is there anybody that can point me to a simple upgrade overview or simply outline what the options and the benefits are and what is involved please .Blimey guys we all have to start somewhere !....
I have over the past week spent something in the order of 5 hours trawling hundreds of threads and thousands of posts trying to find a basic intro setup and upgrade overview for the 02 Himalayer without success.
I have found hundreds of dead links and even more obscure threads with suggested upgrade files that either don't work properly or are incomplete or brick the XDA
I am new to the 02 XDA ll and cannot find anything comparable with such a large screen. ?
therefore I would like to make some basic improvements if it is possible without risking corrupting the Rom or bricking the XDA as I do not have the technical expertise to sort out the resultant problems.
this is the spec I have
02 XDAll
2Gb SD card
Rom 1.72.00WWE
Date03/15/04
Radio 1.17.04
ext Rom 1.72.18.1
Ram 128Mb
Model PH10B
I would like to be able to have a large analougue or digital clock on the start or active screen like the touch .
I'd like to be able to customise the start screen and remove some rubbish.
is there any chance of installing some large icons ? like the Diamond/Touch et al as it would be useful to be able to operate it without needing glasses all the time.
Photo editing thumbnail gallery software like Picassa or similar ?
I'd be very interested in other owners mods they have carried out to simply improve and update their XDA and make the day to day operation easier or any suggestions at an alternative with a 3.5"screen
Any help or advice would be much appreciated as I don't think I could face another 5 hours searching phew
well does anyone know of any other XDA with 3.5" screen at least? one that has a better spec than a XDA ll ?

thank you Rudegar but that means absolutely nothing to me I'm afraid.I assume that I can access this readme file through file explorer yes ?
What would flashing the Rom achieve for me ? what would I flash it with and why would I do that ?This forum is littered with hundreds of flashing problems
I don't mean to be disrespectful but your answer is not exactly helpful is it?
ok I've found the reason why no one wants to help .Its here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45
This forum is full of people with problems that 5 minutes of searching will find a solution for, this is one such but as it is sunny outside, first time for far too long, i will indulge you a wee bit.
If you download a ROM for any PPC what you will get will be a ZIP file. In that ZIP file will be three or more files, one will be the new ROM, one will be the program to flash that ROM to your PPC and the third will be a readme.txt file detailing how you actually achieve that. There may be other files in the ZIP or there may not. The readme.txt can be read by Notepad on your PC.
The basic process to upgrade is this:
1 - Download and unzip the ROM
2 - Place the PPC in bootloader mode, follow the instructions in the readme to do just that
3 - Run the upgrade utility to transfer the new ROM

Read or watch ROM flashing guides here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
Take your time, don't do anything in haste ; )
I was reading all the forum,and it's only written like to download the rom and vuolia,but what after? Do i need to put the file to sd card or do it in a different way?Do i need to install special program to open files .nbh? Simply my phone isnt working normally,i cant send messages or read it,if i put sd card inside,after few hours phone starts to lag. If there is anyone,who has time to explain how to make it work good,you are god

Without know exactly what HD2 you have (european or American), if it's network locked, secondhand and so on, I have know idea why you can't send SMS messages. I recommend reading up on how to flash ROMs via the link above and taking the appropiate action based upon your situation.... We all started this way, honest ; )
In particular this thread is good http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477

Hi allll...
ps : form the start to say i am not on drugs!! just come on!!!
all this info and all this reading and i am a IT guy and still don't get it at all!!
It is strange here we have 100 000 geeks,freaks and ...geek ,but no one knows how to explain in a cohesive way some presume u know it all ond the rest presume you should Google it..., why not make THE BEST EXPLAINED Thread from beggining to end whithout loosing sight what do we want to explain...
1) i am a newbie , which is why most of new people join the forum to find answers .
2) i want to switch my HD2 HTC from windows to android....
3) i have found 3000 you tube videos with retard that know only to click here and click there.. that is all fine if all goes well but if it doe sent(in my case it didn't)
i need to understand what all is happening under the hood to know what to fix...
s0... my questions are..simple and i hope someone ...can give all the answers and i will post it on my web page with pics to be one in all a good guide...
where to start...........
you need to have radio, wtf? you need to have "custom recovery installed"?
flash it from windows?(how do i flash it from windows if it is not going in to windows any more!!) ; NBH filess!!???CustomRUU (good for Radio and Splash) ?? what are you talking about!!!
i don't want to look any more for these terms... i want some who is a helpful person with sufficient knowledge and is a reasonable person to understand how frustrating this all is to a newbie to explain firs simple and then more details is it possible?
Android Flashing Guide ??
so explain like : when you get you phone it has windows in it's ROM and you have an SD card holding whatever...
and it is booting (starting the OS) from the ROM (it is usually this and this file)
for you to flash it you need to copy a file (is it leoimg.nbh ?) no idea...
to the ROM using a utility...
when you put that.... bla bla.... come on people!!!
What is radio what does it do? what is nbh file? where do i put and how ROM of my choice choice.
in my case i did the following :
Prerequisites
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL done ok....
* DFT MAGLDR Bootloader (DFT_LEO_MAGLDR111.rar ok so what it reboots and white screen?)
after that i did ..
* Radio that support 576 RAM i have some radio but i don't get it what is radio what are the differences of the version and wtf ram? (is it dependent on the SN , Model no or what) will t install even if it is not compatible with my hd2?
i did (Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14.rar)
so now i can get the boot loader menu but if you go to menu no 4 (usb)
DFT_Android (DAF.exe) does not recognize the usb so... am i stuck?
i notices in DFT_Android there are 2 files (system.img 255mb and boot.img ) i guess daf.exe does something with theem boot is copied to the boot partition? system image is copied to the ROM? can i somehow do that direly from the sd card?
what can i do now?
the only access i am getting is i guess provided to me by installing (HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL) that boot menu...
similarity and difference between
MAGLDR 111 is done very quikly (1sec) (both have a nbh file (ver. 111 is .5mb)
and
Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14.rar (nbh is 25 mb)
what is the... i don't get it..nothing
You will never flash android to wm and otherwise if you not kernel developer of HTC (as ex.).
Everything what you find and what you seen on youtube is Android runned from windows kernel, from SD card probably.
Natively is never happends.
Same **** you can find abou HD2 running WP7 instead wm6.5. Its also emulation!
To the OP. Have you looked in the HD2 specific forum? I'm sure you'll find all you need to know in there.
I know it's difficult trying to pice together all the disparate information that's out there but the best way to learn is to research, and then research some more

Absolute rubbish. Please refrain from posting if you don't know what you're talking about. Both Android and WP7 can replace WM6.5 on the phone, and ARE NOT emulated. Even with Android running from the SD card it IS NOT emulated!!!

^^This!!!
The best way to learn is.... to learn! If you're spoon-fed all the answers then you'll just never stop asking. Just take your time reading, and don't rush into flashing anything until you're comfortable with what you're doing.
Well thanks to all (especial not heineken78 i hope you are not 33yrs and screwing people around here ) it is done but my questiions stand... i did it but like most people i dont quite get exactly.. what the hell did i do..
i did a lot of research come on guys i do you exepct me to write such a big thread whithout trying my best to figure it out myself?
im not trying to get spoon feb but come on...
all the instructions are like do this and that.. or radio is for buttons and .... but come on... i relay started this thread to point out that there is not one goood all in one explanation that will explain all aspects... and for any one to gather all this info and put everythin in cronolgical order that makes sense.. he would allready have to know a lot (or have some expirience with this) so i think it is imposible for a newbie to grasp all this from just looking at threads...so many of them and every thread going in some other direction
in any case thanke you all.
Hey Folks,as u read: I am totally new to android.
But here are some facts about me I'll tell you just to say sorry for dumbp questions right at the beginning.
I have a good base of Linux knowlege and i also always was modding my phones. If it was my Motorola Razr v3i or my Rhodium Windows 6.5.
Most important: I REALLY dont want others to make MY work. Dont missunderstand me: Some People just dont have the ability to make that on their own and i think, they needed to be helped too, but not me. I want to learn it and i CAN learn it.
But sorry if I post a question in the wrong Forum or ask questions wich have been answerted pretty often. My Problem ist not to read or speak english: It is to imagine the words I need to use for google and stuff to find my answeres. So, some hints, tips or links to Howtos or stuff woud help me alot.
Burt here the bunde of my most important questions:
It all started with Adobe Flash. I guess my Pad has a arm6 or 7 CPU... it has 600mhz and i found a version for that here on xda- i installed it and its working so far for the adobe flv player and swf files but not as an plugin 4 the reguar browser or dolphin hd. any suggestions?
I also wanted to download teamspeak 3. it seems, there i have the same problem. it tells me, my device is incomatible at the market. So is there a way to get it anywhere else and my to recompile it and patch it to work?
next: i tried to root my device using androot and also z4root. it goes through the process without errors and everything seems to be fine but sshdroid tells me, root is disabled. the access to some locations of the phone still is denied and so i cant install nandroid for backups and before i will go on, i REALLY shoud install an backup solution, right folks?
Well- for the first, thats it. if i know that i guess, the rest is more easy to find out on myself as it is right noe.
Again: You dont need to make my work. sorry and thanks at once && greetings from ?good? ol' germany. Alex
well- one thing i also coud need some help... i was searching arround how 2 set my phone for data2ext4 ... but if i wont get running my phone rooted, i can forget about that, cant I? my card already hav an 4GB ext4 partition beside a 12GB FAT partition
