[Q] Difficulty getting Android to boot on X1 - XPERIA X1 Android Development

Alright, before I get any complaints, I'm not reading through 33 pages of "How to install Android" to see if anyone has this problem as well. It's a simple question I have, so your patience in possibly reading it again is appreciated.
*steps off soapbox*
I have an Xperia X1a. I have Windows 6.1 currently running on it. I've downloaded a current Android 2.2 install from the late Myxperoid, unzipped it to the root of my Micro-sd card, ran Haret.exe, got a bunch of code, the phone rebooted... and it booted Windows immediately. I've tried four different android installs, following all instructions, and this still happens. No Android, just Windows every time.
Why?

I think that Windows Mobile 6.5 Rom works with me is it applied to the 2.2 of the typical mistakes with android

which windows version doesn't really matter
use this version of android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709632
but not the latest version, as it has some stability issues, so you should use the previous version!
also format your sd card before you put the files on it

ANDROID ?

hi
i had installed wm 6.5 (lost in asia version 6.5) on my HD. i cant able to boot android on my phone. android will work on wm 6.5 ?. when run "haret" its goes to command screen then hanging a long time. i have to remove the battery to boot it my HD. i am using sandisk 8gb mmc. can anyone help me in this.

when u start haret... winmo will be deactivated....
Yes, so it doesnt matter what version of winmo you use.
Try downloading it again and unpacking it to the Root of your memory stick (so not in any folders).
Also, try putting the touch hd in activesync mode and connect to a pc, then try to boot android.
As it is though, dont put time in to getting that version of android version as tuxhero is completely restarting the project - rewriting all of the code, so expect that work better anyway.

G1 RC29 will not install on Windows 7 64bit

Forgive me if this has been answered somewhere but I have searched and have given up out of frustration. I just downgraded from RC30 to RC29 and, no matter what I do, it won't show up under my computer or anything.
I've uninstalled the drivers through device manager, tried updating the drivers various times and used USBDeview to uninstall. After every uninstall, when I plug my phone back in via USB, windows will automatically install drivers for me. I check under device manager, and the only new device is a non-descript USB Mass Storage device.
Under USBDeview, I only found and uninstalled one driver with HTC Android in the description instead of the recommended three. I have the SDK and have tried various drivers, possibly the same. Nothing I do seems to work. I just want to get ADB running so I can register my phone over wifi.
Thank you in advance for any help, I know that XDA always pulls through and is a great forum and community.
Woah slow down, the phone should be detected as a Mass storage assuming you have a SD in the phone.What are you using Fastboot?
Fastboot needs Haykuro SPL or HARD SPL.
It's not really being detected at all, as in nothing appears in My Computer in Windows Explorer. Just the hard drives and cd-rom drive. I have a 4gb SD class 2. Works fine when I plug it into my SD card reader (Micro SD to SD adapter).
I have done nothing to my phone besides downgrading and am largely unfamiliar with SPL's but I'm fairly certain you have to install them yourself?
You have to install them yourself...if you are going to do it, INSTALL RADIO FIRST AND THEN THE SPL, otherwise you are going to brick you phone.
So are you recommending me to use fastboot to detect my phone as a Mass Storage device? but before using fastboot, to install a radio and then an SPL?
If I remember correctly didn't RC29 have that nasty thing where you had to go into settings to mount your sdcard? I may be completely wrong but...
That may be true. I've read a lot of posts of users saying they had to check USB Debug mode or something.
Excuse my noobishness, but what is the difference between the RC# releases and HTC's Android ADP 1.5 image builds? Would it be possible to load JesusFreke's 1.5 onto my phone since it includes the option to skip the registration screen completely, allowing me to register over wifi at a later time?
I'm completely new to the whole android experience and really only have experience in PSP's, iPhones and a bit of WinMo.

The RC# (this also includes CRB# & DRC#) are the shipping versions of the system for updates. The Htc ADP releases were made for the Android Developer phones, or the phones you buy through Google that come unlocked (and rooted?).
So one is a consumer version/build of Android and one is for developers/people who are willing to pay more for an unsubsidized phone? It seems like I'd want to ultimately want to end up with the ADP release anyways so is there a way to install it through SD card?

[TMOUS][ROM][WWE][Nov.5.2010] UltraLite 370MB - INCLUDES ANDROID - THE EASY WAY!

ANDROID THE EASY WAY
NOW AVAILABLE!​
This Process will NOT be quick, but it’s easy and runs great!
Takes about 1/2 hr to set up the first time. It's an All-In-One Flash - Includes Stripped WM, Android, and Compatible Radio.​
Includes an AWESOME Android build, Desire Sense - BlueTopia v0.6, by cmylxgo.
FAST, STABLE, COOL as Heck! It is installed on top of my Super Ultra Lite ROM.
Booting into Android is controlled by My Android MortScript.​
ROM is based on latest T-Mobile 3.14 with almost everything removed. Not really worth booting into this ROM as it's just used to load Haret to get Android going.​
If you want to Flash this ROM then change the Android build to another, you may by replacing the Android Folders on your SD Card with your desired Build.​
Please read all below before starting.​
Download all files listed:
AutoFlash SuperSport Android BlueTopia 6.exe Grab All 4 Parts (MediaFire Link) Sorry so LARGE!! Only way to include everything. MediaFire allows Multiple downloads at a time. If you have a fast Connection, grab all 4 pieces at once.
Task29 provided by doloop.zip (Attached) If needed
HardSPL3 (Attached) If needed​
Unzip Task 29 and HardSPL3.​
Clean old Android and any Android helper folders OFF SD Card ie: Android, Media, FilesToBeDeleted, etc. For best results, backup your card, then re-format FAT32.​
Be sure your SD Card is re-installed in your HD2.​
Flash HardSPL3: Run HSPL3_PKG.exe, or be sure you’ve already done it in the past. Follow the instructions found HERE if you don’t know how. This will take about 3 mins.
Task29: Run Task29 provided by doloop.exe. This should be done before ANY Flash. If running Windows Vista or 7, you must Right Click and Run as Administrator. Be sure your phone is connected by USB before running and follow the instructions. It’s just like flashing a ROM. When it reaches 95%, press and HOLD the Volume Down button until it reboots into Bootloader Mode (Red, Green, Blue Screen). This will take about 2 mins.
Flash My ROM: Be sure your SD Card is installed in your HD2, then Flash your phone with my ROM. Be sure your phone is connected by USB then enter Bootloader Mode (Red, Green, Blue Screen) by Holding Down the Volume Down button while turning on phone. Run the file "AutoFlash_SuperSport_Android_BlueTopia_6.part1.exe". Follow the Instructions until your phone Reboots. This will take about 7 mins.
Allow windows to start up first time. This will take about 1 mins. DO NOT PRESS YES when prompted if you want to Boot into Android. That will come later. WARNING!!! DO NOT PRESS 'YES' YET! This will cause Android to NOT INSTALL! (If this happens, use the File Explorer to browse to the Windows Directory and Run the Cab "SuperSportAndroidBlueTopia6.cab". Be Sure to install it to your Storage Card, NOT Main Memory. Delete this CAB after installation completes.)
Android will now Silently Install to your SD Card. This will take about 4 minutes. Wait for the XDA UC Service End message and tap OK. YOU MUST WAIT FOR THIS. If it does not come up within about 5 mins, then something might have gone wrong. Flash Task29 again and start the ROM Flash over.
You can now Select Yes to the Window asking if you want to Boot into Android. (Future boots will ask this again. Just select YES to boot Android, or NO to stay in Windows.)
Android will now start up. You will see the Green hTC logo. Allow Android to set up the Data Space. This takes a LONG time! Be VERY Patient. Up to 10 mins the first time (Mine was 8 mins, Future boots after the first time boot quickly). It will sit on HTC logo for a LONG time, then blank screen, then final boot.
Future boots will now give you a prompt to allow Auto Boot into Android, or you can select to go into Windows if you are so inclined. You can also use Android-Ubuntu to change the Auto Boot settings to be quicker or slower, or boot into Windows if you prefer, although, there's not much there.
To boot back into Windows, Remove your SD Card and Reboot. To Flash another ROM, enter Bootloader - Hold down the Volume Down button while powering on your phone.
For my ROM WITH Android, Download above.
For those who just want the WM ROM Without Android Built in, Download Below.
This ROM has the following:
-Free RAM: 373.90MB WOW!!!
-Free Storage: 705.06 WOW
-Very Little left of Windows. It really is not usefull for anything except starting Android.
4 Flavors:
NO Radio NO BootScript - Best for those who already have an Android Compatible Radio and want to use their own Boot Program.
AutoFlash SuperSport Android Ready SuperUltraLite NO Radio NO BootScript.exe

Looking forward to it
BlueTopia is a nice choice.. Do you think you can post the winmo build?
And have you thought about using UC_NET instead? As you can see the progress bar during setup, might make it easier for some people that arent familiar with UC.. just a thought

I will look into it. Any idea if it can force install to SD Card? That's the trouble I have with XDA_UC, I don't understand it enough to know how to silent install to the SD Card. I'd love to have a progress bar too.
I will post the WinMo build when I have it working properly. There's an issue with the AutoBoot function that I think might be due to the ROM being SO Stripped.

Hmm.. I'm not sure actually, here's the thread for it. Maybe take a look at post 3 (portable commands) in that thread.
Here's a post from him on that topic, from a while ago though (July).
Really Dumb Noob Android Question
I have to use Outlook (corporate environment kind of thing...not Exchange). What is the best way to be able to synch Contacts and Appts. between Outlook and Android?
That is, so far, the only thing holding me back from giving Android a try. And this ROM appears to be a great way to try it out.
Thanks for any advice.
Can you please make a release of JUST the winmo rom? That way we can simply apply whatever android distro we wish to our SD card, and the download is smaller : D

As far as I know, there is not a way to sync using WMDC. It needs to be done using HTC Sync, or using your google account. To use Google, you can set up an email account as an Exchange Account. Set the Server as m.google.com and tell it to sync your email, contacts, and calendar. For some reason, tasks do not work, so don't check them. If you set up Outlook AND your Phone to use the same Google Exchange account, then things will sync wirelessly WITHOUT having to connect to USB. Be aware this will likely use a little more battery if you allow it to sync often.
To use HTC Sync, download it from HERE and install it on your PC. Your phone will need to be set to HTC sync when you connect it to USB.

Yes, when it is working properly, I'll post JUST the WinMo ROM. Currently, it's running just fine, I'm just having trouble getting it to AutoBoot when started.

ROM Specs:
Free Ram - 373.90 MB WOW!!
Free Storage - 705.06 MB WOW
Includes Radio: 2.15.50.14
Download Size: 53.1 MB

Still touching up my All Inclusive Android ROM, Sorry for the Delay.
NOW AVAILABLE!!!
Please see First Post for Details.​
Out of curiousity, is it still possible to run a winmo program since the android os is just an overlay? If so, how?
Also, I tried youtube and the video is horribly choppy. audio is fine but video is stop and go ... stop and go... is this a known issue?
Any soft reset shortcut?
other note: tried running angry birds and it doesnt work.

Actually Android is not overlay on top of Windows. Windows starts haret, then shuts down completely, only leaving Android running. The only way is to reboot, and not boot into Android.
My YouTube is really smooth, but that's over WiFi. Haven't tried over gprs.
No soft reset that I know of. Only holding power button and shutting down.
After trying to run AngryBirds the first time, you must reboot back into Android and run it again. It will run second time around.
PS: one thing I've noticed is that after a couple reboot, things seem to get smoother.
Unfortunately, Android isn't perfect on the HD2 yet, but it's getting better every day...
I had to format the card twice and it started working ... yay

That brings up a good point. If anyone wants, you can delete the Android off the SD Card and replace it with your favorite flavor. The Boot Script should still work, as long as you place the Android build into the folder Android with CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe in that same Android folder, not a sub folder.
awesome rom thank you,...runs very smoothley and first one where everything has worked!! as soon as funds come in you will be my first donation..
only problem is batterylife life and data speed i live in socal what radio will u reccomend im on tmobil network . and 2 youtube is very choppy unless i use wifi.

Please keep in mind that the Android Build is NOT mine. Please donate to cmylxgo as he is the one who put the Android build together. I cooked the WM ROM, added the Radio, added his Android ROM, and created the BootScript. I just wanted to come up with a way for people to try it that just worked, so I put it all together in one easy to flash package.
Yes, there are still some issues with running Android on WM, but it's slowly getting better. cmylxgo has mentioned a new Android Build coming up shortly. I'll see if I can add it to this thread when it's released.
I've heard about YouTube by a couple of you now. I don't know yet what that is. Not sure if it's My ROM, or the Android Build, but when I find out, I'll try to create a fix.
EDIT: The radio on the first post is the only one I've tried with Android. I'm on ATT, so not sure how that compares to you.
thanks for this simple guide.. *so simple, even a caveman can do it* noob question, how do i restore the phone to factory settings incase I need to send it in?

Hehe, I like that. To revert, you would need to flash the HardSPL back to 2.08 (Use HardSPL 3 and select the 2.08 version), then flash the Stock ROM back on. As far as Android goes, just delete it off the SD Card. My ROM simply copies Android from the ROM to the SD Card and sets up links.
Does the camera work in this one? I really want to ditch WinMo and go to Android, but I want to first be sure everything works. I have read in some other threads that camera support is not working, which seems like it would be a deal breaker for many people.

Yes, it does. That's a deal breaker for me too. I do have occasional data connection problems, but I'm almost always on WiFi, so it has not been a huge deal for me yet. It sounds like cmylxgo is working on the data issue along with other fixes with his Android Build. I will likely update this ROM when that happens. I'll also post instructions for those who do not want to flash the ROM again and just want to update their Android Build.
everything works perfectly, I just flashed it 3 days ago and I'm very pleased so far..... and belive me I've almost tried everything around here.... Thank you Super Sport to put all this togheter.

[Q] ROM Flashing from PC on Mac - not working

I am trying to flash the ROM on my Touch Pro 2 before I sell it. I am running windows XP on a mac using Parallels 5.0. I have tried running the ROM update when active sync is connected and all starts ok then I get error 226 saying cannot connect. I then tried flashing straight from a newly FAT32 formatted microSD card and that jsut stocks on with a Loading message. So I tried flashing Hardspl, although I think that I have done this before when I still had a pc, but that failed with a connection error too. Any tips/advice anyone?
You need to provide more information. Are you trying to flash a custom ROM, and which one? What ROM are you running now? What version of the phone do you have/what carrier?
If you are still HardSPLed, the second line of text on the bootloader (tri-color) screen will say "OliNex", probably saying "SPL-0.85.Olinex". If it doesn't say this, the SPL is locked, and you won't be able to flash a custom ROM.
If you are trying to flash the stock ROM, I think some people have been having trouble doing so with the phone HardSPLed. But it may depend on what stock ROM. I am able to flash the Euro stock ROM just fine on my HardSPLed phone.
ok, i'll try to answer your request for more info:
trying to flash Energy Rom build 23699.
Existing ROM version is listed as 2.07.401.1 (80303) WME dated 2/4/10.
Phone is an unbadged HTC Touch Pro 2 as sold by Tmobile etc in UK.
Can't see any mention of OliNex on bootloader screen, so perhaps I didn't unlock= it after all. Certainly no T mobile stuff left on the phone now.

Don't know off hand what ROM that you have installed right now. What do the boot screens look like when you start the phone? Also, what does the bottom row of red letters say, when you startup the phone?
If it doesn't say Olinex on the bootloader screen, you are not HardSPLed. Either you never did it, or you relocked it.
Run HardSPL, and you should be able to flash from the SD card no problem.
Redpoint. Thanks for your replies and interest. I have tried to run HardSpl but this fails with a 260 connection error, even though Activsync is synced and connected. Id this to do with running a virtual pc on a mac perhaps?
Your welcome, hope my advice is helpful.
HardSPL is pretty finicky, even on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. I think running it on a Mac is difficult or even impossible. You can search the HardSPL thread and see if anyone was able to get it to run on Mac. I'm pretty sure I read different users on that thread mentioning issues with running HardSPL on Mac.
My best advice would be to run HardSPL on a friend's Windows XP system, if possible. It usually runs smoothly on XP, and only takes a couple minutes.
Yes, that confirms my suspicions. I will try it frommy partners windows XP netbook whenshe gets home. Fingers crossed.
Will let you know how I get on and if I need any more help!

ROM needed

Does any have a copy of any version of a WM rom or know of a working download link?
I have a AT&T Tilt I would like to restore back to windows mobile. Sometime 10-11 years ago when the device wasn't so old I was messing around with android. Phone still works and boots a very old version of Android possibly 2.2. Just took the phone out of storage and have it charging up. I can probably dump the rom if anyone is interested. I'd like to restore this device back to wm if I can find a rom and drivers anywhere.

Wow, this was my dad's old phone. Has WM6.1 at the moment with Android 2.3 on an SD card via HaRET (though Gingerbread itself runs few apps and even half of those don't work on my Tilt). While I have no experience with Android on NAND (since I like dualbooting it with WM), I have a few WM ROMs saved if you can flash them using the SD Card/KAISimg.nbh method. I've run all three on it at various points in time, though the 6.5 one is unofficial.
