Hi there, as many of you may know dzo or simple god makes a flashable version of android for our KAISERs.
But vefore here are some rules:
THIS THREAD IS MADE TO KEEP THE FLASHING ANDROID ON KAISER DEV THREAD CLEAN FROM USERQUESTIONS!!!
DON'T ASK USER QUESTIONS IN THE DEV THREAD!!!
This Thread is for experienced Kaiser users who aren't in development but wan't to see android running native from NAND.
THIS IS AT THE CURRENT STATE VERY VERY VERY BETA, THERE MAY BE A HIGH RISC TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE. THIS WILL COMPLETLY WIPE WINDOWS MOBILE. JUST USE IT IF YOU CAN ANSWER YOURSELF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: (without search function)
-What is an .nbh file
-how to flash a kaiser
-What is HardSPL /Security unlock
-How to recover a bad rom flash?
-What to do if your device won't start anymore?
-Do you have basic android skills?
Ok Guys, little cleanup and updates:
INDEX:
-Post one:
Different flashing methods
Things to take care off
-Post two:
How to creat your own nbh files
How to make custom splash screens
-Post three:

HOW TO START ANDROID FROM NAND
Method one:
1-Download one of the nbh's here http://www.megaupload.com/?f=SA71F1MT, you'll have to look for the right panel type, Key layout and resolution needed for the rom you're flashing, just like your default.txt from sd boot.
2-Download http://www.mediafire.com/?zldjhfnkzk2
3-Copy the androidinstall.tar from the androidinstall.zip file to the root of your sdcard
4-delete/rename any old android files on your sdcard
5-Unzip the androidinstall.zip and replace the ruu_signed.nbh in it with the one you downloaded in the first link. (must be named ruu_signed.nbh)
-6Run the custom ruu.exe - thats all after reboot you'll have a flashed Cupcake android.
Method two:
1-delete/rename any old android files on your sdcard
2-Download one of the nbh's here http://www.megaupload.com/?f=SA71F1MT, you'll have to look for the right panel type, Key layout and resolution needed for the rom you're flashing, just like your default.txt from sd boot.
3-Create three empty files on your sdcard wihout any extension:
-datafstonand
-systemfstonand
-rootfstonand
4-Copy your prefered rootfs.img, system(img,ext2,sqsh) and an empty data.img to sdcard root
5-Copy the nbh file you downloaded to the root of your sdcard and rename to kaisimg.nbh
6-Reboot your device using restart button and cam button, then when it tells you, press power key to flash the new nbh.
-Reboot by pulling the battery - Thats it ( First start may take a while and may reboot randomly, just give it some time)
Different Tricks and hints (collected in the forums):
-Change Panel Type:
Run: "echo 1 > /sys/module/board_htckaiser/parameters/panel_type" through adb or init
-Experimental GPS:
For working, gps you need to replace libgps.so with the one from the vogue gps thread.
Experimental openGL Drivers ( Eclair Only)
-Download this one and flash your prefered nbh: http://rapidshare.com/files/345432577/kasiandroid_nbh_with_opengl.zip
-Install the included script sheduler, and replace the afterboot.txt with the one included in the zip file
This will install an app that will run the afterboot.txt after every boot and fix file permissions.
-Or you can open the afterboot.txt and run it in terminal after every boot.
To see if it works install the included gallery3d.apk, iff you see thumbnails, it worked
Not tested by me, yet through no time.. (Thanks to quitlahok and rzk333 for this manual)
THIS IS JUST FOR THOOSE WHO ARE MORE IN DEVELOPMENT AND LINUX
HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN NBH FILES:
1- Set up your prefered Linux Setup, i use Debian.
2-Build kaiser kernel with wiki manual
3-git clone git://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/androidhtc/tinboot
4-git clone git://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/androidhtc/bootenv
5-cd bootenv
6-cp buildInitrd buildInitrd-mini
7-nano (or whatever your favorite editor is) buildInitrd-mini
8-change all instances (2 of them) of initrd to initrd-mini
9-sh buildInitrd-mini
10-cd tinboot
11-nano tinboot.S
12-the paths to fix are at the bottom of the file, it's pretty self-explanatory. higher up in the file you'll see the kernel cmdline under an .ifdef kaiser line
13-after that you'll need to download and extract any windows kitchen, and install wine however your linux distro requires and make a note of the path you extract nbhmerge.exe to as you'll need it in your tinboot.S file, along with the path to your kernel zImage and initrd-mini.gz
after that if you've got everything else in place, go ahead and run the compilekaiser script in the tinboot dir and you should have an nbh
if the nbh won't flash (i had this issue) copy the output.nb file, boot into windows, and use nbhutil.exe to convert it to an nbh and flash that one. for some reason yang doesn't work right for me personally
HOW TO CREATE CUSTOM SPLASH SCREENS: (this is a manual by POV)
1. Install HardSPL.
2. Create a BMP file in paint, size must be 240x320, save it as BMP 24bit.
3. Download SplashTool
4. Load your BMP on nb_image_converter (included in SplashTool's zip) and save it as splash.nb
5. Open SplashTool.exe and convert splash.nb to new format.
6. Pack the resulting splash.nb into a NBH file using htc rom tool.
7. Flash your cusotm NBH using CustomRUU.
This will not harm your installed android

SORRY IF I'LL FORGET ANYONE
Here's a couple boot screens I made.
Thanks i'll add this to the first post
Thanks JeckyllHavok, good idea I keep posting over here am not into kernel things anyway
Ok after a few attempts I finally got Android flashed, and running, using my backup kaiser, which has no network connection, so the lack of wifi is a bit of a problem, but seems to be working fine so far, and fast
Just wondering if it would be possible to flash other versions, like eclair or even flan, since polyrhythmic's eclair version seems to be nice and stable, or is this going to fast to soon?
Just tested this with sshidels nexus rom, but itjust ends in bootscreen loops. Maybe other roms work
Looks like in need to learn to read. I found these instructions in the Vouge forum:
Method 2:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Check here for NBH files containing a linux kernel and initrd to allow you to flash android to your vogue and wipe windows completely.
The ROMs are dated and there are three versions.
They are identical except the resolution; 240x320, 320x428 and 320x480.
This rom will copy your rootfs, system and data to nand (the internal storage of the phone) so you will only be running from nand. To do this, make sure you have a working setup (using system.sqsh and data.img without partitions) and install the new rootfs. Make sure it still works.
Make sure you have a carrier rom to go back to. Android currently doesn't let you change any of the radio parameters so you would have to flash back to a carrier rom to re-provision your phone.
Now create 3 empty files in the root of your sd card called:
rootfstonand
systemfstonand
datafstonand
These must be all lower case with no extensions and they will be deleted once each fs has been copied.
Now flash the rom corresponding to your resolution and wait.

Buried for stupidity. Works great so far.

1st edit: We have Android .
2nd edit:26 min it just turned itself off ... creepy ... soft reset ....I'll post back results.
3rd:39 min later Actual Phone screen came up No SIM ..Opps rebooted waiting agian.
What is working/not working with this flash.
From what I've read everything except.
Blutooth

It's a little small and awkward due to the set resolution, but it's possible to flash different builds!
Another note: When flashing builds it takes a very long time, but when it gets to the setup android screen it has a system FC and the screen doesnt respond. This has happened everytime. I had to pull the battery and when I boot it up a second time it boots just fine.

Hi
Can you please send me the files on the sdcard. I am having an issue with every build.
Thanks
Did wifi work with any builds?
I think no, not now
Tilt
Hey all,
Working great on my tilt except the ringer just rings in the earpiece at like phone call volume. You can't really hear it unless you have your ear against it. Any thoughts?
I used DZO's build of 1.5 and one of the NBH filwa from Ra333 as the DZO one did not work.

Are the keys on the slide keyboard working correctly
OK now got two nand flashed kasiers, (both kais130), first using the 'original' flash method, ( dzo nbh, androidinstall.tar), and the other method from the vogue threads, with polyrhythmics Eclair build, which is much slower, ( uses SD card rather than Nand?).
Both seem to be working as well as can be expected at this early stage of Nand flashing.
What I would like to know is how to 'upgrade' our zImage, since some builds have a different zImage version than the one we are currently flashing with, ( I am assuming our zImage is in the NBH flash), since this may help enable wifi/gps which we are presently lacking.
Discontinued​I'll make this short and sweet. Thanks to RaiderX303 recent work porting over clockwork recovery we can now flash roms in the update.zip format directly from sd with no need for a pc to flash a new rom. This allows most importantly the ability to to create Nandroid backups and restores.
Using RaiderX303 method I repacked my favorite ROM into a zip package ready for Clockwork Recovery.
Rom is Kouno.Takaaki's HD2ONE 0.3.6. This is based on his original release and everything should work just as it did before on this rom.
Please don't ask questions as to why this doesn't have xyz, or sense this or that, this is a close to stock vanilla android mod, if you want pretty sense skins, or don't like the way it looks, then get a sense rom.
His original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823471
Intrid.gz is updated to his newest version as of 1.2, details here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898067
Kernel is now Prj's .3, which is based off Hastarin's 8.6, modified for nand use. Feel free to update using the method in the Intrid.gz thread if you want a different kernel.
First you need to install clockwork recovery which has been ported by RaiderX303...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
Then ...
How to flash;
1: Boot into Clockwork Recovery
2: Select install zip from sdcard
3. Select choose zip from sdcard
4: Select ROM file (HD2ONEupdate.zip) and then confirm
5: Wait for All Done! message
6: A wipe is recommended but not always required, if you experience force closes or things not working, try wiping before posting problems.
Please remember, I am not the original chef for this ROM, I have only repacked it into a format suitable for clockwork recovery so keep questions related to the underlying rom to the original forum. Also if you haven't read anywhere else, when you switch over to clockwork recovery method your userdata will be wiped so backup accordingly.

Thanks, wanna try..
What a beautiful day
what initrd and zimage did you use for this rom.zip?
thanks..
rmnet or ppp? thanks!
Hi, I try to change the density with 200 in /system/build.prop. But it is not work when I restart my phone?
Is there a problem? I saw that the rom is based on CM build. But I can change it on CM 6.1.1 build. Could you please help me to take a look?
flashed fine but then just sits at the green htc screen...
did hard reset..same thing...boots to green htc screen.
thnx to titanium backup im back where i started 15 mins later
Does it support data.img on sdcard?
tried this but getting a nand kernel open failed when magldr tries to load the rom any ideas?? Do i have to supply my own kernel??
Ricey
Ok to address some questions and issues.
Build is RMNET, again based on original Nand HD2ONE.
Kernel is proj .2 which is based off of Hastarins Kernels.
Intrid is also from HD2ONE nand build so... it supports data.img to sd (off by default), therefore you must create a folder in the root of your SDcard and do the following:
Name folder. ".data"
Inside ".data" , Name a new txt file "config.txt"
Then you can add any of the following lines:
data2sd=0
- default nand userdata
data2sd=1
- enable data.img support
data_size=512
- size of data.img, only work when data.img support enabled
- default 512
lcd_density=240
- change the size of icons
- default 240
gps_zone=us
- country code, us, fr, jp, etc
- default us
As for people having issues booting or getting stuck at green htc, I would give a few pointers, if first boot then keep in mind the build is creating a new data file and first boot could take 10 minutes, so be patient. Second if getting issues with magldr saying it can't load a particular file/kernel, you probably had a bad flash and I would start by doing a wipe within clockwork recovery and reflash.

Works just as HD2ONE should - flawlessly Thanks a lot
ok, I thought i had waited 10 minutes...
wasnt sure if it was building or not.
i will try again and wait it out.
like i said titanium backup to the rescueif needed anyway...
Thank you!

Since this incorporates Clockwork Recovery, can this now be used to swap kernels as well?
25 minutes at the green htc screen. I think its safe to say this has nothing to do with the data file be created. it doesn't work.
followed instructions, it flashes the zip and after reboot it just sits at htc screen...
I think im done messing with this untill i see others who have actually got this to flash and boot properly...
if there is another step then please state it...nebulous comments like "change permissions" are useless

This build is freakin good
But I have a little problem with me settings.. if I want to go to settings -> sounds the whole settings fc
Tried it with fixin the permissions in the CW mod, but didn't work.. someone else has this issue?

Hello,
I have an HTC Desire with last LeeDroid version 2.3d and last ROM Radio
Il like it, it's great, but
- I hate the BIOS bootanimation, it's very awful, hideous, I want to eject it from my phone, it's very annoying and I want to **** it when I see on the screen
but, but, it's not very simple to remove or change it
=> I've tried with adb and Root Explorer: it doesn't work at all, it's very frustrating: phone reboot when I try or do nothing at all!!
is there a way to fix that?
- Another problem: I hate the Contacts/Phone/Dialer from HTC included with the LeeDroid: awful too, and prefer the original Android Contacts/Phone. With LeeDroid, there is Android_Contacts provided, thanks, but:
how can I install it?? By Recovery? By .apk using adb or via the Phone?
- by recovery, that doesn't work!
- by install via adb or phone, it works, but when I want to use Phone for calling anybody, the app crash (force closing!) with a message about android.process.acore !!
It's very frustrating too, because there's no explanationat all.
And don't answer me, try a search, because, on this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703, there is almost 2000 pages (IMO: there's a great problem on this forum: arrangement's problem, so when you search an info, it's very hard to find it)
THANKS!
Take a look at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935288&highlight=replace+bootanimation
One of the solutions must work.
Or at Android flasher
Only way to do change it if you are S-ON, is booting into recovery and change the files via adb (for the first post). Android Flasher requires S-OFF.
Changing the dialer : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12159471&postcount=19080
Just flash it from recovery.
Ok, for the Android Contacts, with the file you give me, it works, THANKS!!
but one question reminds: why with the file provided here, by the developer of LeeDroid release himself, it doesn't work ???
I haven't yet tested the botanimation
I'll try soon...
EDIT:
- my HTC Desire is S-ON, so I can't use Android Flasher
- the bootanimation.zip is on /system/customize/resource: the other solutions provided in your link can't work in this case (I've already tried to place the file in /data/app/local => didn't work!! And there's no system/sd/app/local directory on my Phone, can't be that)
I've tried to push file via adb in recovery:
C:\Users\Philouille>adb push C:\bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
1417 KB/s (3112989 bytes in 2.144s)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Success??
Power down the Phone, boot and...
No luck, nothing change, I already have this bull**** of BIOS Boot Animation
Re-edit:
not tell yet, but when I was trying to overwrite the bootanimation with Root Explorer and r/w rights, the Phone directly reboot => no change
I also use LD 2.3d and i also tired to replace the BootAnim several times usig several methods...
Finally i s-ff'ed my phone and used Android Flasher and worked like a charm.
Also u can try a method i didnt try,go to the online Desire kitchen >http://uot.dakra.lt/
And cook a theme,select from the rom list your current rom and select only a bootanimation,once done,flash it from recovery
Thanks aca85, it works!!
but now I lost the Flyin Transition Animations after the flashing ...
ok, succeeded after reflashing Flyin Tranzition Animations file zip in recovery
Thanks!!
Glad to hear it
No prob.
This is the same implementation as the g2 boot sound enabler with a few improvements.
i'm not responsible if you blah blah blah. don't be stupid, and don't flash things to your phone without realizing the possible risk. i haven't bricked a phone yet and don't plan on it.
DOWNLOAD:
View attachment bootsound-glacier-CM-signed.zip
MIRROR - Mediafire
This enables custom boot sounds. After flashing and rebooting you should be greeted with the all to famous "DROID" bootsound.
you will also have some new useful commands in terminal:
newbootsound - copies /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 as new bootsound
newbootanim - copies /sdcard/bootanimation.zip as new boot animation
bootsoundoff - turns boot sound off
bootsoundon - turns boot sound back on
Just files named accordingly on your sdcard's root i.e. 'bootanimation.zip' and 'android_audio.mp3'
Flash. Reboot. Enjoy.
Rom developers - feel free to include this in your builds if you so desire, please make sure credit is given accordingly to spiicytuna, mrdaviso, and myself.
if you're running a sense rom there's a totally different way of doing it so, should you be running sense... don't flash. or flash at your own risk, i can't guarantee the outcome.
untested... let me know if things go smoothly, the same process works for the evo g2 etc.. so shouldnt be an issue. make sure your media volume is up, some report if it's muted you wont hear it. (not sure about this, i guess it would be easy to test...)
Thanks this worked GREAT.
thanks worked great on cm7 rc2! so basically i can rename any sound file i want then overwrite the original? or does it have to be done through terminal? sorry for the ?? i am just learning
thanks again!
Terminal isn't required, but the sound you need to replace resides in /system/media so a file explorer with root access would be necessary.
not working?
i have tried this through root explorer and terminal. the outcome is correct in terminal... says that the new boot sound is there. I also was sure to check the volume. and still nothing? please help?
ya doesnt work on cm7 rc4 either
worked great for me ... except that the boot sound plays regardless of whether I have the volume down / muted / etc. before I reboot.
i'm on royalginger v1.5 which is based on cm7 nightly #31

why didn't you just IM me? el oh el
cos in my researching on the boards and also the other test builds I made - #31 was the most stable overall.
Ya can't seem to get it to work. The script seem to work fine but i think im applying the Audio file wrong can someone post an example? System/media. Running cm rc4
guys here is a manual method of unlocking boot audio...I got this from an older thread that was deleted for some odd reason..
anyway I did not make this script and I do not intend to take credit, but here is a manual way if all else fails.
1. download and rename the bootsnd.txt to bootsnd.sh and NOT bootsnd.sh.sh
2. place the file in the root of your sd card
3. use root explorer to set /system to r/w
4. open terminal type: su and hit enter to gain root priv,
5. type "cd /sdcard" with out the quotes to mount the sdcard root
6. type "sh bootsnd.sh" with out quotes and hit enter wait about 10 seconds then close terminal NOTE* YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY OUTPUT or confirmation! hit enter ONLY once unless you want to eat BOOTLOOPS for breakfast
7. with root explorer push android_audio.mp3 to /system/media
8. reboot and BOOM!
this does NOT work on sense roms, only works with AOSP (any cm builds) as far as I have tested.
I have included my own boot audio its a god of war 3 overture theme portion
now that is my work as I had to chop it up
unzip and rename it to android_audio.mp3 first before pushing it
Hi, I am currently using stock JB with a couple of mods/extras i managed to link in via the kitchen. But frustratingly so I cannot change the boot image and are hoping with appreciation someone in here can direct me. So far I have tried everything I am capable of. That is from within the kitchen enabling the function which is suppose to allow you to change your boot animation. Although it gives you the tick and creates a different directory for your boot animation this still doesn't work. I have tried replacing hTC_boot_one.zip file but does not work. Whenever i do replace or alter that file the boot starts as normal with white htc and then goes to black with android with a back light rolling from side to side, like kit in night rider. I also have tried flashing Mattmans-Boot-Animation which uses aroma installer. Still didnt work and as far as I know it just added the file in system/customize/resource/. There appears to be a command file preventing any changes internally in stock. Really appreciate and hope someone can help. Thanks in advance......happy new years.....:good:
Did you root the rom ?
You need root acces to write in the system directory's ......
You need SU

Hi, I am currently using stock JB with a couple of mods/extras i managed to link in via the kitchen. But frustratingly so I cannot change the boot image and are hoping with appreciation someone in here can direct me. So far I have tried everything I am capable of. That is from within the kitchen enabling the function which is suppose to allow you to change your boot animation. Although it gives you the tick and creates a different directory for your boot animation this still doesn't work. I have tried replacing hTC_boot_one.zip file but does not work. Whenever i do replace or alter that file the boot starts as normal with white htc and then goes to black with android with a back light rolling from side to side, like kit in night rider. I also have tried flashing Mattmans-Boot-Animation which uses aroma installer. Still didnt work and as far as I know it just added the file in system/customize/resource/.

Dude. I think you need root your rom to get custom boot (-:
There're a lot ready-to-go tools for booting animation
Good luck !

Its my own custom rom but this little simple thing i cannot get around. I can only semis that within stock base there's a system file preventing any change...
Have you mounted system as rw? In root explorer you just press the button, not sure on other apps, and have you set the right permissions? rw-r--r-- to match everything else in system/customize/resource.

Thanks for your help. Not sure what you mean by mount the system as rw. The permissions - yes always changed permissions when trying to replace the hTC_bootup_one.zip file. Cheers...

If system is mounted as ro (read only) you can't change anything in the folder, this is the default setting I think and it needs to be mounted as rw to allow changes.
You could try to rename something in the system directory and if it doesn't actually change then you need to change it, or check if the filesize of the boot animation you replace changes.
Like I said, rootexplorer app changes it with a tap of the button, not sure what else to use

Thanks again. No problem renaming any file within system so I guess it is mounted as rw. As to file size, i have tried different file sizes and identical file sizes to the hTC_boot_one.zip file. I have even tried using the same Zip file and just replacing with different images. Making sure to end up with the same values. Nothing seems to work.
Strange, I had rooted stock Rom and it worked fine, maybe you have the wrong format of files or haven't zipped as store only, no compression. I assume it is a sense one x Rom?
Maybe try this one I made for the Rom I use
