hi..cani anyone help me how to update andriod, i have recently installed andriod on my htc hd2 but since then everytime it asked for update whenever i connect with wifi..but everytime i install update it aks for restart and after that i have to run it through memory card using clrad and haret..but still it doesnt install it..
and also wanted to know if i get other sd card and use it to run new desire andriod ..and also if there wil be no data loss in switching both cards..
thanks
What i did was go to this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970731 and followed the easy instructions. to keep rebooting use CLRCAD.exe and HaRET.exe... took me awhile to figure out how to keep restarting. This build works great on my phone. now instead of using clrcad and haret, use this boot loader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737001&highlight=haret,+android,+ubuntu,+choose
works great!!!
just start from scratch, and erase your old SD card

I just recently bought an HTC HD2 in interest to converting it into an Android phone.
I don't quite understand all the "ROM" information people tell me, so is there a simple and noob friendly guide on how to put Android in an HTC HD2 that runs smoothly as in everything working? (I might be asking for too much..)
ATM there isnt a pure ROM based Android for the HD2. Its possible to dual boot your HD2 with Android.
While doing this you copy Android to your SD card and use a program to load Android into your phone memory by using Haret. With the Andoid dual boot all things of your phone can work very well, but you battery will drain very fast (lasts 1 day) and the lower section of your phone can heat up.
The heating up is normal because your SD card is working all the time (since thats the location of Andriod)
What to do first:
- search for a threat to install HSPL on your phone
- change your radio to 2.10.50.26.x
- download an Android ROM of the Android section
- copy the files to your SD card and run Haret (delivered with the Andoid files)
- Its possible to install a WinMo ROM that is smaller and boots faster into Android, EngeryROM is a good rom to do this.
Keep in mind that Android is not a full ROM install yet, but htey are very far in developing it. Battery wont last as long as normal (WinMo). SD card is heating up.
I would say wait a lil longer before you put Andriod on your phone. Dont get me wrong it works very well and also i would totally love it to fully switch. But as long it isnt a full ROM install i would wait before using it.
everything was working fine, until i flash this mod, started instaling the (alot) apps i wanted to, and all of the sudden, the apps never finished installing, and there is no way of installing apps for me now, not even sd card/ market, only the "zip", i can install apps on 2.1/2.3 (arc rom). but not on ANY 2.2 rom. i dont know why.
if anyone know how to fix this please help, whether i restore or put in any new 2.2 rom installing apps doesnt work, i cant connect the sd card to computer and browse thru it, for connecting i HAVE to use multi mount . plz help. thanks!
Hey you might want to reflash the rom again. That should fix it but if you still have this problem go to developer tools ( its an app) and press crash system server

I GOT this problem once before so
take out the sd card and try installing from the market
if it works
remove the ".android_secure" folder from the sd card
its the parts of apps moved t sd and it may be the problem
(you shoul remove them anyway cauze its useless)
^ alright il try doing it, since ive never tried that, and it worked for u. ill try it when i get back from school, thanks

moslem_n YOUR WAY FIXED MY WHOLE ****ING PHONE! I LOVE U MAN! HOW CAN I REPAYY YOU BROO?
hey i hav one of the same problem in this custon rom....its tht whn i press the power button n thn do a reboot, after reboot the system does not respond and it does not read the sd card....i tried flashing it again and again but it happened same......is ther a solution for this
plz help guyz....would really appreciate...
anywayz i lov this rom for now its working gr8....
This is driving my crazy!!!
My Hd2 is not updating to the correct time. It either one ahead or behind. I went to the HTC sight and tried to install the update but it gives me a errors....about a hotfix not compatible or something. I tried unchecking the time sync in my settings....it work for a while but when my phone updates it goes right back.....I need help...this is driving me bonkers!!!!
Sorry as I can not remember where exactly it is is settings but you can set your HD2 to get the time from the internet. I would dig through the settings on my phone but as you can see from my signature I am running Android from NAND and don't have Windows Mobile on my HD2 any more. Just keep going through everything in your settings and you will find it. I do remember you get to it by going through the settings tab and not all settings.
Thanks....how do you have andriod on your HD2? Is it better?
See this thread for instructions on how to flash Android to your HD2..
If you want to test out android before you take the step of flashing it over WinMo then you can by running an SD card build.
Head to the HD2 android SD development section and find an Android build you like the look of.
All you need to do is download and place the "Android" folder on your SD card. Then you can test out android before you decide whether you want to replace WM.
Hope that helps.
I haven't upgraded from the stock rom yet, but I'm considering it because it seems like I have a firmware problem. I got this phone new off of ebay a few months ago. At least every other day, the phone keeps saying "SD card unexpectedly removed, please insert a new one". It happens when I haven't changed card. I don't even have to touch the phone and I'll see the screen come on and say "sd card unexpectedly removed..." I have googled and I saw others experiencing the same problem. This is one thing that is keeping me from upgrading to a different ROM. I'm worried that if I change roms, maybe the internal problem with manifest during the procedure and brick my phone. Is this a concern that I should have? Or should I proceed with changing ROM's?
My other question is if someone else with this same phone has experienced this problem before, and did the problem go away when the ROM was changed?
Yeah, I just picked up one of these off ebay, and... the pins on the SD card slot are pretty bad, I dunno if that helps exactly but maybe something to check for...
Well I had the same problem.
. I rooted my phone didn't happened again .. but 90% of the time when I rebooted it didn't read any of my apps. Every time .. I got. Rom. Manger .. got clock work recovery and did a backup of my rom .. than I flashed mik cm7 .. never had those problems again ... and didn't. Have the problem were my phone restarted on it's on ...
From My LG Optimus P509 CM7
oh yeah, my phone restarts on it's own too. I forgot to mention, I assumed it could have been a bad connection leading the phone to not read the SD card, then read it, then not read it. It has a cheap looking lock-down mechanism that doesn't look like it would let the phone read the SD card all the time. So I cut a little piece of paper the size of the SD card and stuck it between the lock-down latch door and the card, it didn't fix a thing. So I ruled out a bad connection.
So blackrose, you had the same probs I have now and yours is fixed? I'll look up the mik cm7 rom and install that, are there different versions of the mik cm7 rom? If so, which did you choose?
Check the firmware version on your phone. Older firmwares had that issue, but I believe they were resolved in V10L and newer revisions.
You can go to LG's website and get the download link for the newest f/w version for your phone by putting your IMEI at the end of the address:
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=INSERT IMEI HERE
You have to use KDZ updater to flash it.
!! disable LG modem in computer device manager !!
make sure you have msxml installed
set type to 3GQCT
set PhoneMode to DIAG
Select the downloaded firmware file
sit back and WAIT..
Ours the stock rom side I have the same phone from tmobile optimus t and have had the same problem with three of these phones (sold to friends over seas thats why so many) I suggest install custom recovery and rom as soon as possible it makes a huge difference in performance and fixes that pRoblem let me if know if you need help you can even pm me

I run linux on my laptop, I used to have my laptop dual booted when I had my hd2 so I could change out my roms but then I sold my hd2, had no use for windows so I deleted the partition. is there a linux version of the updater i need? or can i install the kdz updater through wine? does kdz updater run solid enough in wine so I don't have to worry about bricking it? I'm going to sell this phone for whatever I can get for it on ebay and I want it functional. I'm picking up another hd2 tomorrow for a great price.

i just tried going to the lg webpage you mentioned and I got a weird error. My IMEI is 012408001118364, and it says IMEI SV is 03. this is the exact link that I typed in my browser, I copied it and posted it here when it didn't work.

my phone has gotten worse in the last couple weeks. has anyone tried to see if it's just a faulty SD card? the problem has to do with the sd card, the phone says it's removed when it wasn't. I have an old 2 gig one somewhere that I'll put in it and see what happens. also my version is V10L
what do I need to put a different rom on my optimus t? and would it be running off of the SD card like I had to do with the HD2 or can it just run off of the internal memory?
my phone works perfectly now. I checked for updates and I have the latest update already installed on it, it's what came on it, V10L. So I deleted some apps off of the phone to clear up space. I grabbed a different 2gig SD card, formatted it with the phone, transferred all of my old stuff from it off of the other card that was in it and put it in the phone. Now I have had it running flawlessly for over a week. I don't know if it was the samsung SD card that was in it that was faulty, or if it was doing that because there were too many apps on it. I know some SD cards are junk, I don't know about samsung, the one I put in it is older but it is a kingston. I didn't have to root it or anything. But I still want to so I can delete some of this crap thats on it from when I got it.
So since this phone is linux based, how do I get to the terminal so I can su root or sudo. And what is the root password? I want to control this thing!
So maybe the problem was that I had too little space left on it, or maybe the problem was that the SD card is junk.
I am starting a new thread here since I did not got any mention of the problem that I am facing right now. Please help.
My device was on stock 2.2.2 ROM until I upgraded it to the 407 ROM sometime back. It was working smoothly till yesterday before I tried to root it. After installing the streakmod, I booted the device in recovery mode to apply the update of superuser.zip. However, though I am able to see superuser icon in my menu still Busy box Installer tells me that the root user rights cann't be acquired.
This was just the tip of the problem.
Now when I restarted my device, the Dell logo is coming up. However after sometime, a message is getting flashed saying that
"File system check returned status 2048. ( I dont remember exactly what file was mentioned but it was pointing to system directory. ) Please send this unit to the software development for debugging. Formatting your device".
After that I again flashed the 407 recovery and the respective package in the device. However, the problem still persists and the same message appears after 2-3 reboots. Even the stock browser is throwing up an exception and Wifi option says Error beneath it.
Before I flashed the stock 2.2.2 ROM, I had the following config for the phone -
Android version - 2.2.2
Baseband version - GAUSB1A134700-US
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM Version -GAUSB1A134700
Build number - 15274
Please help. I am very much in love with this device and dont want to switch to some other phone.
Sounds like it coukd be your internal sd ard has gone bad, i was also getting the same message and my device formatting so i swapped it for a 2gb sdhc its been fine ever since

Hi andy,
Thanks for the information. But I believe that the internal SD card is not user replacable. Is it?? How much effort it required on your end ?
Yes mate it is replaceable, theres two ways to get T it, 1 is to remove the lcd from the phone second is to cut away the plastic inside the phone battery bay to get at it, i chose to open mine as i didnt wanna start cuttin plastic, it is really easy to do you can replace it with upto a 4gb, anything higher and you have to edit files etc, i put in a 2gb sdhc been fine ever since, plus the phone will automatically format for you,

Cutting the plastic is an easy job and only takes a few minutes. The upside to this method is that it the inner SD card is accessible and it only has to done once. If you have any warranty left you void that. You could even remove it and make a backuo image periodically.
I replaced mine with an 8GB, class 10 card and the phone formatted it for me. There is more info here and here.
The system files are needed if you want to use the space for other than what the system uses it for. More info on using the internal SD for other purposes here and here. In my case I ended up with over 6 GB of system space to install apps. I can keep all of my apps on the inner SD Card.
Aah thanks for that marvin, i didnt realise that, now i know that im gonna upgrade mine

I had lots of problems with mine to i think it`s the 347 base band i read every post and downloaded DSC and it works great read all there post there is a guide to follow you will have 407 running in no time REMEMBER TO READ
One thought here for the OP: why not upgrade to 360 first before trying to upgrade to 407? That might solve your issues. I can't verify whether it would work or not, since I never used the official ROM to upgrade. I upgraded the baseband the hard way and use a custom ROM.
I don't remember how off hand, but isn't there a simple procedure to test your SD card first to see if that is in fact the problem?

It's been posted many times. Info in this link.
My internal was gone bad too and crashed 4 times in 2 months. after functioning very well for the first 2 months. It appeared a read write block error on the internal SD repeating the error 4 times proved the defect.
I replaced mine without real trouble with a 8 Gb SD class 10.
just removed the old one and replaced with the new one.
mind you i tried several cards and not all were installed properly.
Now i have a huge 6 Gb for my apps and no need for App2SD or Link2SD anymore. can swap any external SD without problems for any apps that way. everything is now installed internal including maps of 6 countries for europe.
On youtube you'll find a lot of movies how to dis assemble and reassemble the Dell Streak 5.
Grts
Ted.
Please correct me if I am wrong. All the applications get installed to the internal memory by default. I don't face issues when I keep them that way. When I acutally try to move the apps to SD, sometimes the move does not happens on first attempt. Sometimes it does. I think that's where the problem lies. Is it possible that due to a corrupt external card, the streak is getting checksum error and formatted on restart?
That.s a good guess if you can repeat it afew times it has some bad blocks when software is bad removing and installing wil not solve that. It only took me as many as 4 times to be certen about it.
No genius needed for that.
I had 230+ aps installed and som other data I always wanted to have so internal is my choice. General I used 2.5 Gb .

The dev can set it up so that the app is installed to the SD card. Few apps do this, but not every app defaults to internal storage.

Alright !!
In the mean time my internal SD contains 333 aps now including 7 country map data of europe stored. My external is free for any use. Very cool when mounted by PC and no broken apps.
This streak is so cool now and despite the fact that it is an older device it still can compete very well.
The only disadvantidge is the longer boot and long refreshing the app list in the app drawer after first boot and backup apps.
Just my 2ct

UPDATE: i have been using he card now for some time but experience some systeem freezes, nog fatal but for a few sec andere up. I am ging to install he Same brand 4Gb card class 10 and that should be more than sufficient for my needs. Internal up to 16 GB is not an option i guess. IT would be even worse i guess.
