Hi, Ive been looking for hours on the web and this site for any way to completely flash my Telstra PDA 2K Evdo CDMA Harrier, I really like it and would just like to use it as a PDA, since CDMA was shut down in 2008 here in Australia (Yeah, I know sad). Any way I would really like to upgrade it to Android or WM 6.5. If I upgraded it to android I would need to still Access the internet through the cradle in order to download apps, since I cant obviously access the net through EVDO and there is no WIFI in this cdma version.
Thanks, any help appreciated.

i don't no ! I think very good!
You sadly can't flash the harrier to 6.5, and the android port seems to have no one working on it, and is useless in its current form. It looks like you're stuck with a PDA and WM2003
Thanks for the reply, hopefully someone might want to port Android to it soon,
Thanks,
Matt
It seems to be the latest version supports CDMA Android why not port them) =
P.S. at the hands of 6600 now udmayu as if his brush.
I would try to port, if I could, I have no idea how to LOL.
Anyway if someone has done it could they post it here?
Thanks,
Matt
Sorry, but the BA development has been going down-hill lately (needless to say, the Harrier never really took off... no pun intended). Android had a few people excited when it was first spotted in the BA, but never got farther than that.
My hope's still there!!!!
why dont you just buy a blueangel with a cracked screen and swap the logicboard? or screen for that matter.

Not a bad idea....
I actually have been stalking eBay for a while, for one with just a cracked screen, but still waiting (although alot of CDMA ones with cracked screens are avaliable)
But i really dont need it for "Cell Phone usage(calling etc)", I would just want to be able to use some android apps on it, because im not quite ready to give up my touch diamond for testing yet.

You have a working android port for the BA?!?! If you do, please share that.
nope, I was hoping some one was.

There are a few Linux OSs that will work with the BA such as QTopia, but other than that the Android port never came to becoming real due to lack of developers interested in porting the drivers for it.
actually its a HTC Harier (so its cdma) and what i've heard is that most "os' that have been made for the blue angel dont work on the CDMA versions.
thanks

Becuse some sites like 4Shared do not allow files larger than 100 Megs
Talked to an att rep. and was told that the main problem is their network. He said its the same problem they have with the Iphone 3GS that it wasnt configured in their system yet and everyone who bought one with the new mms feature couldnt use it and they were getting calls nonstop. He also said that as soon as they release the fortress that the problems will be resolved. The only other thing I can think to do is find out how to get the system to recognize the touch pro 2 as a fuse mabey by replacing some rom files or OS files but dont have the know how to do so. I have tried cooking in the past on the fuse and tilt but every time I try to get something done Something else gets in the way like the wife or the baby or customers or fixing someones computer...... A never ending cycle of life on a daily basis. A good general breakdown of ROM cooking would be greatly appreciated. Like step by step without anything left out and an explination on what everthing does and how it works and changes a rom tweaks and all. Still waiting for someone to post a all encompassing tutorial........ Will pay for this advice, Hint Hint If I had the time Id do it but Business has to come before fun o r me and my family would be living in a shack.

I was able to send MMS fine before I flashed Manilla 2.5. So lemme get this right, its no manilla 2.5 its at&t?
Thats what Im thinking, And now that you mention it, it probably is something to do with the connection between 2.5/2.6 and the os on the device. The reps I usually talk to are regular not tech support because its a little harder to get the tech guys to stay on the phone chatting after they troubleshoot your problem unless you get a talkative one, Like I said Im no chef and it will probably get worked out in future releases of 2.5 and 2.6, I stick with 2.6 even with all the bugs mainly so Im aware of exactly how it works when a 100% working version comes out and the process of the changes are cool and gives me a reason to keep flashing my phone
Hello all. This phone mainly got my attention because i read up that it can run android OS.
I am currently using a tmobile g1. the only reason i'm giving it up because tmobile won't let me use my cheap data plan with it. They want me to upgrade to an expensive one. (I had t-zones unlimited working on iphone for awhile)
So i decided to look into an at&t phone and hope that it can be unlocked and i can set up my t-zones internet on it as i did on the iphone (also from at&t)
Here are my questions:
1) Is it easy to unlock the htc tilt? Or do i get it unlocked from someone else?
2) Once loaded, does Android os have all its features on the HTC tilt?
3) Will I be able to set up EDGE with tmobile WHILE on android? (and will it work? lol)
Thanks everyone, i really appreciate ur help guys

Wow.
This is so silly on so many levels, but the overriding thing is this.. Android on the Tilt is a cute hack. No more than that. You gotta boot WM first, then Android. You have to kludge around to get voice and/or data to work in Android. It's not as stable as Android is natively. Some of the hardware doesn't work....
just.. no...
Yes, here's what I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583
http://www.androidonhtc.com/kaiser/port_status, the camera is the only piece of hardware that isn't working at all, most others have partial or full capability. Wi-Fi is still experimental, and GPS is kind of tempermental.
Yes, once SIM unlocked, you should be able to set up and use APN's through config.txt/startup.txt, and Android itself.
However, keep in mind that Android is still not fully functional or stable, and you must boot Windows Mobile in order to run the Android bootloader. Android is still kind of beta, and may stay that way for a while. I don't currently think I could run Android full time on my device without any issues. So that's some stuff you need to think about before you buy a Kaiser just for running Android. In your situation, I personally wouldn't.
Dave
Yes, it is easy to unlock...
And jsut stick with WM, it just works better right now

I thought your response to his question was pretty silly..its a hack like u said so of course it isnt going to work with flying colors just yet..though im sure it's much better than you picture in your head. There even more advantages of booting from SD card we can run the hero rom nearly as much as hero itself. Plus more androids phone will support our qvga screen in the future.
Well i dont really like winmobile, maybe cuz i'v never really used it. i always thought it was for business ppl. anyway, thanks for ur help. can anyone recommend another phone?

Dude, at some point you are going to have to bite the bullet, so to speak. With the increased capabilities of the phones to download greater amouts of info faster and faster, the carrier companies are going to charge or structure their data packages according to the amount of data you access as opposed to the time you spend " online ".
If you like android , then you need to stick with a phone the runs it natively, like your G1. To want to get rid of your G1, to buy a non android phone and then hack android on to it, is kind of " silly " despite what ajclai08 says and how " cool " it is to run Android on a phone that is not meant to run it.
You can spend the next month trying to fudge the phone you want with the OS you want , with a data package that violates your carrier's TOS, but in the end it " is " going to cost you and why be stuck with a phone and OS that you are unhappy with.
I just bought an Imagio and will have it tomorrow. We need to get this forum rollin
im a big supporter of NFSFAN's roms after using his rom on my VZW TP and I hope he decides to whip something up for our phones !
Did anyone decide to give the mobile tv a shot? Looks like the kickstand on this phone was made for it
agree with the custom roms, man what do we need to get this goin? im really lookin foward to the coverflow on the new version of tf3d, oh and mobile tv works really well just needs more variety...
I just got mine this morning and am already having flash anxiety. I am used to flash my own cooked omnia roms with close to nothing on them. there is so much stuff on this phone that i don't want, thanks VZW.
So if we are able to get a Hard spl unlock we should be able to use any topaz kitchen as long as we use our OEM right?

I am looking forward to using the phone though. I already seems much better than my Touch Pro.
Ditto here, I just ordered the Imagio today, and already wanted to see what was going on with ROMs lol.
I am wondering if anyone has contacted cmonex on weather or not she has considered helping us out with the HSPL. I am getting my phone in the Morning and I really hope we dont have to wait long. I will be around to help out with what ever I can.

There is a HardSPL placeholder thread now.
tethering to laptop
Hey all! Anyone know if/how you can tether to a laptop for use as a modem.. Kinda need it..
Imagio can tether
Yup, works great tethered, just go get PdaNet from June Fabics dot com.
Lets, go.
We desperately need to kick it up a few notches. Although I love my imagio there are so many good devices coming out that we need software and features fast. We have an ass load of potential we need this hspl so desperately I hope its coming along. I will donate the hell out of good developers.
Some things I've been thinking of.
We need to make this bad boy use motion commands, implement g-trigger or something similar cooked in.
We need to implement TFLO 3D Build 1920 and tweak it to run fast.
We need the a rom that runs stock, with only tflo running, to be at less than 40% of resources.
We need to be able to read and use 32gb storage cards.

Well, according to another user somewhere that contacted HTC they said that it was a unique device to Verizon so it could be that some time is needed before they can get this one hacked.

Yes, we need it. But what we can do is waitting
Well the folks at pccgeeks have posted instructions to unlock the CDMA Touch Pro 2... My understanding is that the Imagio is a "variant" of the CDMA TP2... maybe we'll see a ROM and SIM unlock for the Imagio in the not too distant future.
I'm sure when sprint gets the diamond2 (whitestone) hspl will come very shortly after. Should be next month, thought it might be November 1st, but I haven't heard anything. But is guaranteed to be here within Q4 this year.
For the 18 millionth time, the Whitestone is not the Topaz (Diamond2)!

I admit that I am a complete rookie when it comes to any serious modifications oh phones, but I have recently been diving in as deep as I can with the help of this great forum. I am curious if anyone thinks it will even be possible/easy to get the latest version of Android running on the Imagio (US Verizon) at some point.

Yeah, just hang in there. Duno why it's taking so long to get the unlock, but whatever........ It'll be soon and then it's bye-bye Verizon!!
I am definitely interested in this, but I also feel that the resistive touch screen will limit the touch functionality,
while its resistive touch, its extremely responsive. its very intuitive, it reacts when you want it to and never reacts to an accidental touch. i wouldnt let that hinder you.
i know they got android running on the omnia so i see no reason why it wont be running on the imagio. i started a thread here to try to collect some spl unlock information for newbies like myself, maybe we can figure it out sooner rather than later.
I would love this. I had one for my tytnII on AT&T. It would be even better now especially if we could get 2.1 running.
someone should cruz over to the blackstone forum and try the android build. It isnt a flash, you boot it from within windows.The imagio and the blackstone are virtually the same device.
Not really.

Actually you guys should Try the Topaz build. The Imagio is a different looking Touch Diamond2/ AT&T Pure. I doubt it will since you guys have a different size screen and mebe other Hardware changes because it's CDMA but you could try.
The Topaz Android does work on the Touch Pro 2. The Imagio could be considered the bastard child of the Diamond2 and Pro2.
nobody listen to this bs. only flash your phone with imagio roms. if you are going to run an enviroment, make sure it is for the imagio. the imagio might kinda look like this phone and act like that phone, but its not this or that phone. dont screw your device up. just hang in there.
You are a complete retard. Don't post before you research. Android on a Windows Mobile device does not require a flash. It is an image that boots up inside of WM and "kills" WM and boots Android. It causes absolutely no harm to your phone.
RESEARCH before you post your dumb idiotic ideas that have absolutely no base.
listen dumbass,
i told them not to use roms and various other crap made for other phones, because and i know this may come to a shock to someone who is an expert like you, but..............phones vary. why dont you do some research. start by googling "whats a phone" and then go on to searching "why am i such a dumbass"
yet again IMAGE not a ROM. If you start the IMAGE in windows mobile it will boot android. If you RESET the phone its windows mobile again..... No harm, no damage......

"Installing Android
Currently, Android is booted from within Windows Mobile. It does not run INSIDE Windows Mobile nor is it emulated! An application named HaRET is used as a bootloader to REBOOT the device into Android."
Now I am sorry if I offended you and I agree people should not just go and put and ROM on your phone...
I am also not responsible if someone does mess up there stuff, precautions should be taken.
I understand how the whole android ordeal works, i was voicing concern over the fact that it says Kaiser. It doesent say WinMo, it specifically says Kaiser. I can only assume this is because it has not been tested for full functionality on other devices. While yes, I see no real reason why this shouldnt work, it truthfully may not. You and me both have been there man, you put something on your phone, it should work, it works, then suddenly your hard resetting. I simply dont want any newbies to start throwing stuff for different model phones on their device thinking its going to be fine. I was simply saying if it isnt designed for your model phone specifically, do some research, ask around see if someone has it working on their device.
Kaiser = HTC Kaiser which is a Windows Mobile phone.

Just because it is a Windows Mobile phone doesn't mean it will work...
HTC Kaiser DOES NOT equal HTC Imagio.
The entire basis of why we are still waiting for ROMs on the Imagio is because it is a DIFFERENT phone model..obviously just because there is an Android build able to run on Windows Mobile doesn't mean we can just use it right off the bat.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=104666
case in point. this guy had to tweak it heavily and it still doesent work right.
why?
because its not a direct line. yes, kaiser= htc kaiser blah blah blah
but phone models are DIFFERENT.
whether its a rom, or a .cab, or ANYTHING if it isnt made for your phone, theres a good chance it WONT work. theres your proof. if this build worked on ALL windows mobile phones, various builds dedicated to specific models would not be around folks. thank you.
Now that Tmo has made 6.5 available forthe Tp2 and Dash 3G. is it possible to somehow make that version work for the original Shadow? Seems to me like it should be a stable build? My wife has the Dash 3G and I've upgraded hers to 6.5, seems pretty sweet. I'm holding out for a snapdragon model but sure would like to upgrade my poor old Shadow somehow, without having to worry about this key not working and that function not performing correctly as I seem to read about from the ROMs that everyone else talks about. Help me out here!
You could always use the 6.5 ROM from Allshadow.com...I used it for nigh on 6 months without any real problems, only reason I stopped using it was when I upgraded phones heh.
Thanks for the reply ashasaur. I'll consider this but I'm still perplexed why an official ROM can't be reconfigured to use on my Shadow. There has got to be someone smarter than me that can do this!
Ah, I see. Well the main reason why the Shadow 07/09 will never get an official 6.5 from T-Mobile of course is because development for them from HTC stopped some time ago. The Shadow was never really a big time seller, and HTC is notorious for not supporting devices that don't sell well.
The other reason that an official-ish ROM is unlikely is because of hardware compatability between models. While it's true that the Snap/Dash 3G is technically just an upgraded Shadow, the hardware is COMPLETELY different.
So like I say, the unofficial AllShadow WM 6.5 is probably your best bet for 6.5 on the Shadow. While I can understand your want for an official ROM, custom ROMs are most of the time VASTLY superior to stock or official ROMs. Much less overhead, better preinstalled programs, no crapware etc. I would at least give it a try!
