I have a massive headache trying to figure all this stuff out.
I have a t-mobile hd2
RAM of 576 and Speed of 1024MHz and Flash of 1024MB
when hold the volume and power button, it reads the following:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
I downloaded the andriod installer on my computer, along with HSPL, HSPL2, and HSPL3.
My objective is to hopefully get android on my Leo.
Ive read all the threads and im just really confused...I ran HSPL2 and i get an error screen that says i have a bad Model ID.
PLEASE HELP ME...IM SO LOST!!
You have some options:
1. Use search function of the board. (recommended)
2. Try to get the answer is the Android porting thread. I suggest to search the thread first (recommended, too)
3. this one
Ulti
i tried all of that and i get so confused...can someone actually help me?
I'm going to help so many next time you will help yourself and look a little more.
First of all you dont need to flash and thing to run android. It is in beta currently and is ran buy haret which is kinda like a emulator. When you read the link below you will realize that it has all kinds of problems. Those problems are known.There is also a Faq about those problems and what you can do to help solve them.
there are not instructions on how to operate android. By trying this we assume you know a little bit about android.
It looks like you already have the hslp but I am also going to provide a link on how to flash rom's and radio's.

No disrespect ment to you as I do know you have been around for a while. But it seems as though he doesnt have much experience in doing this.
That would seem like its just gunna cause more problems. there is still problems with power management. So its gunna eat away at his battery. This I know because I run android almost full time and thats a risk i'm just willing to deal with.
Secondly it boots right into android no stopping at windows. So if something goes wrong he is stuck. And will have to reflash.
I tried it and couldnt tether and had to go right back. Maybe he doesnt need to tether so it could be fine but I really think he should start off slow.

all i want is the android app store on my phone...thats it. how do i do that without having to boot it up from my phone through haret.exe?
Android is a completely different operating system than windows mobile. The android app store and the apps will not work in windows mobile!
If you try to install a windows application on linux OS you will fail too.

Ive managed to run Ubuntu Netbook Remix on the A101 in SDE.
By run i mean i see GDM, because the driver for the touchscreen seems not to be working.
What ive did was, i took an image from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/10.10/release/ and copied everything from the data partition to a new .img file. Also ive copied the modules from the angstrom rootfs.img.
Then just copied over my rootfs.img over the angstrom one and booted.
There seems to be lots of issues, mainly, i guess, because the init script in the initrd should do something, the one from angstrom doesnt.
Also the kernel-log says it cant read the /proc/ filesystem.
I uploaded my rootfs img to rapidshare for you to try for yourselfes, maybe someone can pick up from here and build a really working kernel+initramfs.

I know it's not working out of the box but it's still pretty cool! IBy netbook remix you mean the new Unity UI correct>
Yes, but as i could not login,i havent seen if the windowmanager works correctly.

Kudos! - You could just try to plug in a usb mouse/keyboard into the usb port - it's usb host (mouse and keyboard work in android)
I'd love to see some more action with this. A mouse+keyboard should at elast get you access to the desktop and thus, terminal. From there, enabling the touch screen should be within arms reach.
To experiment for myself, could you write together a fool proof (noob proof) guide to get to where you're at?

i tried that, but it did not work. But that might be because the only Device i have here to test is some wireless usb mouse, which might need some other drivers.
Im currently working on an image with the xserver-xorg-input-evtouch driver built-in. I hope that gets the touchscreen working in X11.
To get started:
Get some Ubuntu.
Install rootstock using: sudo apt-get install rootstock.
Run rootstock:
sudo rootstock --fqdn archos-ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --keepimage --imagesize 2G --seed ubuntu-netbook
That one generates an .img file you can copy over your existing rootfs.img.
hi,
I'm very interested to get ubuntu working on archos 101
I've tried your instructions to build an image but it stops after:

i had to ctrl+c, because i tas going no where for about an hour.
I guess it needs display ? ..but i don't know how to solve this
Maybe you could try with an imagesize of 3G or another release like karmic.
i did, my first try was with 2Gb, but didn't finish because it went out of space
then I've tried with 3Gb and stoped as i wrote
I had that problem too once.. Just trying again might work rootstock seems to be a bit buggy.
A little update: usb-mice work, when the modules are copied in /lib/modules in the image, but only when no computer is connected on the mini-usb port, that was the problem in the first place.
Wlan driver extracted from stock archos android can be loaded too, but i didnt manage to get the firmware to load yet.
Ps: a happy new year to all of you.

Any luck with this?
Would offer to help, but am pretty much a n00b dev at this point >.<
Good God, how awesome it'd be to have a USEABLE distro of linux on the 101 or 70. I love using linux (i have linux mint installed on all 3 computers in my home) and it'd be excellent if i could install an embedded version on my tablet, but alas, i'm a plumber not a programmer! So if someone could post a few links or tutorials to get us started ( as i'm sure there are plenty of gen 8 owners who feel the same as me ) it'd be much appreciated.
Q. Does the 101 it have the same hardware components as the 5 it? The reason i ask is that i think there is a working version of ubuntu nbr for this device and im pretty sure it has the same processor as the gen 8 tablets ( cortex arm a8 ).
Q. Would an amature linux geek like me have any hope of porting it over to our device?
Q. Would it work natively or would we need to modify it?
If anyone else has an interest in having ubuntu on their tablet please post as we have to get this bumped up the list of to do's. BTW, thanks to all you guys in advance and best of luck.
shameless bump for a worthwhile cause!
EDIT:
also, if they can port it to the nook color...

that's only running via vnc - that means no drivers for display and touchscreen and unfortunately won't get us much further
yes it's just a chroot so you can imagine as a ubuntu running with the android kernel. you could try mux the drivers from the angström to the ubuntu kernel and compile the kernel for arm processors this could work, at least integrating ev-touch will help a lot. search for google for ubuntu4arm and you will find some howto.
the reason why i'm outta this is i have not much time at the moment and without a usable on-screen-keyboard (and at the moment there is none) ubuntu is worthless for me on the tablet.
Why o why have there been so few posts on this subject? Are we the only one's interested or is it just too much work to get another version of linux on the gen 8 devices? Really not trying to be rude to any of the developers on xda because i think you guys are awesome, really, but could someone please tell us if this is a worthwhile cause or a pure waste of time and effort.
I know there are threads like this out there, but none of them fitted my questions...
Hi,
in this post, seo posted some ported sense 3.0 apps and widgets for Sense 2.1 GB roms.
I tried to install some of them and got MMS to work.
Then tried to get Rosie and widgets, but they wouldn't install directly, so i started playing around with ADB.
i think adb is fully set up, i am able to pull apks from /system/app.
problem is, i am obviously unable to push, install or uninstall system apps via
adb push
adb install
adb uninstall.
this was when i tried remounting (with remount,rw etc.) and was able to "rip off" rosie.apk (i know it worked as it wasn't there anymore later on ) but still was unable to install apps (with the effect i hadn't got a launcher at all.)
latest step was creating a signed update.zip, didn't work, recovery just restarts.
anyone help? someone got experience which may help me? i went through about 10 or 20 guides and am kind of desperate right now as things just dont work
thanks

Pull me a recovery.log when you try installing the zip, and I'll have a look for you.

S.O.D. proudly presents.... recovery.log!
Here it is, i attached my own update.zip (rosie-signed.apk), maybe you could have a look at it as i don't know where the fault may be.
greets SOD
I would already be happy if you managed to solve the update.zip issue (would help me with other updates) but the main prob is adb noch really working, seems like some system part is blocking this?
my hero was originally a t-mobile google g2, created goldcard, rooted, custom recovery, new radio and custom rom.
a few details:
device HTC Hero (T-Mobile Google G2, the black one )
rom Salsasense RC2 (at the moment...)
recovery CWM 2.0.5.7 (think so, but im sure i got the latest)
sd 2gb
ooookay, tried to edit existing salsasense, resulting in non-functional rom rebooting into recovery.
JieeHD may you probably cook Rosie.apk and HtcClockWidget3d.apk in SalsaSense RC2 and upload it just for testing? much better would be to give me the keys to do it myself *still learning*
i tried it but the situation above occured^^ maybe some md5 thingy?

brick after flashing modified rom.
push to /system/app didnt work.
flashing restarts recovery.
jieehd's tip of single lines for every command doesnt work, same as above.
error 0 = apk is not made for your device/rom, wont install.
error 7.. dunno, think its not matching binary or parsing error.
files from my thread? as post above says one is a log and the other is defect^^
i doubt weather will work as its eating HUGE amount of resources. if u want this lockscreen, maybe try salsasense, has got a 3.0 alike lock...
holidays now, wish good luck in coding would be happy if u found a solution
greets, SOD
were can i find HTCG2/hboot/PC10IMG.zip been looking all over for it and its no were to be find
Got some questions.
1. You want WHAT? And what is the purpose?
2. In how far is this related to this topic?
3. If u give us a path to this file, why do u ask where it is? Maybe try dowloAding some random rom (probably some ruu) and do extract & search..
4. Are you really willing to contribute to this topic? I dont see the point of posting this.
5. Obey forum rules. If u have got a question, post it directly in q&a section, not in some random topic or directly explain the connection to the actual topic.

You really need to read up on your device and how it works. Have installed the SDE or the openAOS boot menu? Google is your friend, instructions have been posted on multiple websites. If you have installed the SDE, and only want Bodhi and the stock Android, just download the bodhi image and replace the rootfs.img on your internal storage with the bodhi image. Then boot into Developer Edition by holding the volume key down and selecting Developer Edition.
If you want more than 2 OSes, install the openAOS boot menu. Here's an entire wiki just for our gen8s. http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/SettingUpMultiRootGen8

If you have Urukdroid, then you have more than just Archos and Bodhi. Urukdroid uses the developer edition's OS slot, so you are actually trying to use three OSes. If you want to keep Uruk, you'll need the openAOS boot-menu, which is a better solution, in my opinion, than $auron's AlternativeOS menu.
I'm on a 101, so I had to do some stuff to make Uruk and Bodhi display correctly. All this stuff has been added to Lenn's tutorial. If you want to keep Uruk and have Bodhi, it's the best way. If you can deal with just having the stock Archos firmware and Bodhi, then you can just use reinstall the sde and overwrite the rootfs.img(sde must be reinstalled though, uruk has overwritten it).
kk thnx, so i just reinstall SDE?

Just reinstall SDE and copy the rootfs.img if you don't need Urukdroid. If you want multiboot, use Bubu's initramfs and zimage. Just rename the zimage.txt to zimage, it will still work.

download link of Bodhi for Archos 101it
Hi, this is an old post, but I would like to post the link where I downloaded Bodhi for my Archos 101it. I have been using it for more than a year and it's awesome. It's just a pity the project has been abandoned. I hope some illuminated genius could retake it and configure the system for sound, videos and camera, which aren't working.

Someone should really make a new index of roms and iso's for the g8, anyway if u want help on setting up sound you can ask me, cause I used this for a while and I know how to start the sound, but it will have a "glitch" when no sound is playing (as in the tab will make odd sounds randomly). If you fixed that already then sorry, I read ur last comment before this one and even if it was in may I was thinking I may help.
I would greatly appreciate if you can help me configure sound with Bodhi linux, so I don't have to change to stock android firmware to play videos or music. I don't mind the glitch, though.
Did you install any codecs? I have been playing with the settings of the recognised Wolfson audio card, but without any luck.

So as I can understand u know how to access alsamixer in terminal, I don't remember what the settings I left on were, but I know I enabled everything and set all volumes to maximum and then I started playing music and disabled the settings one by one till I was left with only the needed settings enabled, hope it helps, if u want I can reinstall bodhi and do the settings on Monday and post them here.
Sound problem solved
Thank you, as you suggested, I set all volumes to the maximum in alsamixer. Then I selected the alsa Wolfson driver under the audio preferences in smplayer2, and the both the music and videos are playing well now! The only problem I find is with the video drivers, with the videos not playing smoothly, but they're ok.

There is nothing to do about that, I was trying to build lubuntu as described at the openaos site (cause that seems to be 100% functional....or at least as much as it can be) but ended up being unable so I am now using debian with lxde (works way better), but it took a bit to setup the screen to auto turn off and I didn't manage to set long press as right click.
EDIT: Also I didn't manage to get e17 to work on it so I am kinda stuck with lxde, too bad, really loved e17 on bodhi.

- Touchscreen
- Keyboard
- Webcam in the keyboard panel (the other one works fine)
- NFC
- Backlight Control (added 25/5/2018)
I'm getting very near to have the touch and the keyboard working though
P.s. In attach you find the outputs from 3DMark - IceStorm Extreme (default settings), would be much appreciated if someone with the real Win version shared its score
Any chance of posting you work to date. Got an X90F just crying out for Windows.

I have added the link to the guide! If yo have any issues let me know but keep in mind that currently no input devices (touchscreen or keyboard) work!
Thanks for posting this. I am really so impressed. Will be trashing my X90F tomorrow. Just got to dig out a powered USB hub. Ill report back, and lets see what happens.
(Hopefully not a brick)
OK,
So far so good. I get to the amending of the of aml. But keep getting.
Intel ACPI Component Architecture
ASL+ Optimizing Compiler/Disassembler version 20180508
Copyright (c) 2000 - 2018 Intel Corporation
iASL: Segmentation Fault
iASL: Terminating
To clarify the process. Decompile the DSTDroid.aml, then insert the OperationRegion (GNVS, SystemMemory, 0x7B3CF000, 0x0369)
Field (GNVS, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{ etc.. } section from the DSTDroid.dsl and use it to replace the equivalent section in the DSTWin.dsl in your files.
Then compile the DSTWin.dsl with the
iasli -ta DSDTWin.dsl
command.
This is how I am reading it, but have not managed to get it to work yet.
It decompiles with the two errors you mention, but wont recompile no matter how I try it.
I am using Notepadd++ so its not hidden characters.
Any thoughts, and thanks again for your efforts on this.

Hello Broomfundel,
I never got that error, but it seems to be a problem of the ASL Compiler build not of your file.
I am using Mac so I have another build, if you want to post the file I can compile it for you .
Otherwise you can try an older release or to build the tool from source maybe?

Hello guys!
I'm starting this thread as I managed to install win10 on my X90L (Android) YogaBook
It was not easy to find a way to fix the ACPI error but it is possible!
Will update this post in a few hours with a guide on how to do it yourself.
UPDATE: link to the guide -> poz1.com/windows-on-android-lenovo-yogabook/
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU CONTINUE YOU WILL END UP WITH A YOGABOOK WITHOUT INPUT DEVICES!!!

Hi, i have the Lenovo Yoga Book Windows version, im crying to install Stock Android on it, can you PLZ write a guide about doing it, or at least if there is a way to install the kernelflinger.efi or the fastboot mode on YB windows it will be great.
to fix the whole bugs you faced, try to reinstall windows 10 using this methode https://forum.xda-developers.com/yoga-book/how-to/windows-guide-creating-windows-10-t3718823
Thanks

Hi,
KernelFlinger is opensource and come with an installer, it should be pretty simple to install it.
Right now I don't have my YogaBook as I am travelling but I can try in the next few days
OK, Older release worked, but I get a .hex file, your instructions talk about a new aml file. Do I use the .hex file or is there another option other than the -ta one that would create the aml.
BTW. I am enjoying this. So thanks again.

With the -ta option I get both the .hex and the .aml file but you can try -tc if it doesn't work. Maybe due to the different build
P.s. (for other people that may incur in this) If you don't get the output files check that you have as last line of the terminal
"Compilation complete. 0 Errors"
OK, I am getting 7 errors. My current theory is that the DSTDWin.dsl will only compile with the same version number of the compiler it was decompiled with. I have attached my DSDTDroid.dsl so you can have a go. At least it will prove I got things right up to that point. Might be worth posting the original DSTDWin.aml for me to try this end.
If we are lucky it might turn out that the patched DSTDWin.aml files are consistent across the same model devices.
So... It seems both pen mode and keyboard mode of holo keyboard won't work... Am I right?
It's sad that if they won't work even we install the drivers from the lenovo website

can after installing Windows booting to kernelflinger? if you can make a thread about how can you install/reinstall kernelflinger will be amazing?
Thank you

Have you tried with the ISO from this forum with the Windows injected drivers? Here https://forum.xda-developers.com/yoga-book/how-to/windows-guide-creating-windows-10-t3718823
As Poz1 is obviously busy at the moment. Can anyone else get the DSTDWin.aml file for me to try and decode?
Thanks
Sorry guys I've been busy with university

There you go I'm also updating the files DSTDWin of my blog with one with some fixes Well they depend on the settings you use in your Bios (that's why Windows may not boot after install, it changes some parameters (the wait time of the bios and the default boot partition)). When you use the builtin one is the bios that "updates" it for you but for now we need to do it by hand If we are going to end with everything working we can release a patched "Win" bios and everything will be simpler

I know There something in the DSDT (the file that tells the os which and where your pc components are) that has to be fixed to make Windows see these parts correctly

Thanks for all your doing on this. You have already got further than anyone else who tried.
let me know if you have more problems
I have added a 3DMark test in the first post for those that are interested in how it performs

Just another Question, you as a Advance user, do you believe that we (yoga book Windows owners) can boot Android yb STOCK ROM ( i mean not the Android x86 based distros)?
Yes, but I think you would have to do the "reverse" DSDT injection (from win to android) as the official ROM has drivers for that components.
This means that, if you're lucky you would end up with our same problems (keyboard, pen and touch). If we don't fix that before
The problem with Android is that it is meant to be flashed on rom instead of being installed and this makes things more difficult.
It should be possible to flash the rom on an USB key, add grub and use it for DSDT injection like we do and see what happens.
Another problem is that the provided kernelflinger seems to have most of the security options enabled so 99% it will refuse to boot anyway.
Since it is opensource it should be possible to fix this anyway.
So yes, but it a loooong journey
