is there anyone who can help me find a good guit to how I install android on my htc kaiser would rather not destroy it because I am very pleased with the
Installing Android into Kaiser NAND for dummies. !!WARNING THIS WILL ERASE DATA ON YOUR PHONE!!
#1 Does your Kaiser already have HardSPL? If not then get that done.
#2 Does your Kaiser have a relatively new radio rom? If not then get one. Recommended to have 1.70.xx.xx and up.
#3 Install a Android kernel. So far the best is kallt_kaffe's. You will need to hex edit it. Open the .nbh file with iHex and scroll down till you see this.

It's numbered so look on the left side until you see 1350. Then look on the right for these phrases. They'll look like run on sentences, that's normal.
hw3d.version=1 <== 1 for Eclair and 0 for Donut based Android builds
board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=2 <== Follow the table bellow for keyboard layout.
board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0 normal
board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=1 AT&T tilt
board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=2 Nordic (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish)
board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=3 azerty (French)
board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=4 qwertz (German
board-htckaiser.panel_type=1 <== Change this to 1,2, or 3. If your screen looks messed up, then change it to another value. I think for most Kaiser users it's 2.
#4 When you're done editing the .nbh, save it and rename it to KAISimg.nbh and place it on you memory card. You may want to put the KAISDIAG.NBH, but I've found it not necessary.
#5 Place the SD into your Kaiser and hold the Power button and camera button down, then take your stylus and hit the reset button. Follow the instructions on the screen to flash your Kaiser.
!!WARNING ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE WILL BE LOST!!
#6 Download your favorite Android build. I use Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair, but you can use anyone you want.
#7 On your SD card make a folder called andboot and place the androidinstall file in there.
#6 Place the SD card in your phone and power on your Kaiser. When you see text on your screen hold down the D-pad. D-pad is that button in the center of your up, down, left, right buttons. Keep holding down the D-pad until you see something like this appear on your screen.
#8 Select sys on NAND, then data on NAND. Once done then select Install system and wait for it to finish. Once it's done select quit and it'll begin booting into Android.
**NOTES**
Some Android builds require you to flash a androidupdate file to fix certain problems, like Wifi. Place this file into your andboot folder on your SD and hold the D-pad down to get the menu, like you did to install Android. Select Install Update and after that's done then select Fix Permissions. Always gotta fix permissions when installing updates.
The kernel can be flashed without destroying your Android installation, if there's an updated kernel in the future.
Cheers Dukenukemx. I redid my (frankly awful) 1st install following these instructions to the letter. Got my TytnII running android with working data, wifi and gps now. Awesome
Nicely done duke, can you post that guide as a new thread please? I think it would be very helpful.
I'll fix it up a bit and make a new post. Needs more links IMO.
yes so I got andriod not installed by your guide.
boo!
but now has a problem
how to install / update I KAISDIAG.NBH after I install android onto my phone hope you can help thanks
camera + power and then reset. and KAISDIAG.NBH on sd nice
Ambiguity.
When you say flashing kaiserimg.nbh to the phone will cause all data loss do you mean complete and utter devastation like good bye winmo, or do you mean goodby data.img on the sdcard?
Like goodbye WinMO and everything in the phones memory. I'm assuming the person has never installed Android.
So if you had pictures, music, and porn on your phones memory and not the SD card, it's gone.
K.
Well that sucks I'd rather not lose everything. I wish a dd image of the nand partitions was part of the installation script. I use my winmo for near free voip calling, saves my broke student butt alot. I don't want to install 30+ packages and fidget alot again to get it where it is now. So i want to sdcard install. I have partitioned the card even now yet polymod, and mssmission do not have install option where as myn's does. The card is fat32(pri), ext2(pri), ext2(pri). Whats the logic to the installer? What do I need to check next to find out whats wrong with it?
i did a sprite backup before ditching winmo so anytime I wish (or have) to go back to winmo I flash the stock winmo nbh and then run the restore off my sdcard to get it back to my original winmo settings.
I have only regressed to winmo twice but it is nice to know I can always go back if I need to.

It sounds like you might be having some sort of hardware or button issues.
I don't know if it would help to do a hard reset or not. Make sure you back up your contacts and stuff first, or they will all be gone! You can hold both "softkey buttons" the buttons above the windows and ok buttons and hit reset, or go into system settings and run clear storage. But again, I'm not sure if that would help.
Or if your running a custom rom, you can try flashing your operators stock rom, or one of the at&t ones in my signature.
But if the buttons are going crazy, I'm still leaning towards something going on with some of the keys, or possibly even the hardware keyboard.
Has the phone been dropped? I have been reading some things about the ribbon cable coming undone or going bad that can cause odd issues.
Maybe someone else has experienced this, and can chime in?
Hi boog321
First, thank you for your answer
I just tried to restore but my buttons do not work
I downloaded now
Hermes Official AT & T shipped with WM6 Radio 1.54.07.00
I will Try, even if it is in English I think! what I need one in French! but essential to get my HTC well now
I already have a hard spl v7 and market,
it's good ?! or I should to do somthing after or I can do other hard !
Lately I bought a accesoire but I think that is the problem! by what I had the problem before you!
Cable Audio Multifonctions YC A300
and as I am new here and I have a little knowledge with the ROM and flash, I ask your help plz
thank you
You could try going to start>settings>system>clear storage
that is the equivalent to a hard reset.
or see if you can remove the software for the accessory.

It sounds like your buttons are dead
I've never had one of our phones apart yet, maybe somebody else here could point you in the right direction for instructions or direct you towards someone that could repair it.
I'm sorry that I can't help you beyond this.
I noticed
is that all the buttons in the front does not work, just the buttons of directions and ok works.
Now I want to know how to downgrade please, to get back to original rom / radio / spl and bootloader possible!
thx boog321
You can find a bunch of that stuff in the wiki. Hermes wiki
Available Original Shipped WM5 ROM Versions
Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
Available Extracted Radio Upgrade Only
Hopefully it has the one from your original provider listed.
thx again boog321
I tried a few ROM's but still same problem.
story by if can you please guide me to install windows 5!
thank you
Follow the link I gave above for WM5, then pick the one for your language and flash, just like the others.
that is what I do,
I run normally my ROM and after gives me Error 260 no answer the phone!
for info I have :
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10.olipro
Maybe make sure both computer and phone are rebooted, then make sure activesync is connected to the phone. It needs to send commands to the phone.
If that doesn't work, I may be able to strip the rom down so it could be flashed via sd card. Just let me know, but to flash via sd card, it must be formatted fat32, and be 2 gig or less.
ROM doesn't need to be "stripped down"... Just format sd card FAT32 and copy .nbh file of ROM onto card, Rename to hermimg.nbh. Re-insert sd card into hermes and go to bootloader. If everything is right, follow the promps.
As boog321 said, It must be a 2Gb or less sd card.
Cheers...
I still reckon its a hardware problem though.

I was thinking if it is like the at&t rom, it would need to be stripped then compiled back into a .nbh. Since it comes as an .exe
Sounds to me like it's a D-Pad problem, rather than a ROM problem.
Have u experienced any white-screen problems.
There is a thread dedicated to D-Pad problems, just search XDA.
I have repaired several TYTN 1s with either D-PAD or WSOD problems using the instructions gathered on this forum.
Nope, just unrar the .exe file and you'll see the .nbh file. You should download a stripped ROM from here though, has radio removed...

Your, right, I had a huge brain fart! I was thinking of when I was playing with stripping the radio on my own. But, it had been so many beers ago!
Only difference is, that I use 7zip to extract it
Hi
Thank you for your answers
I dont know how, but I see that the buttons still works! just that sometimes and rarely now does not work!
I installed ROM version 3.62 / Radio 1.38.00.10
just the problem is that I found in English. and I'm good with windows and French and I already azerty keyboard ...
possible to change language of my TYTN without refueling ROM please?
I need to change the keymapping file in the windows section of the 6.5 roms for a norwegian version of the htc 620s.
I dont seem to be able to access the windows section from my pc (hidden) and the eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt seems the be protected from editing/replacement while trying to work with it from the phone.
Ive read some threads where people have written that have been able to edit the txt to suit some keymapping issues. But how do you do it ?
Any guidelines would be most appreciated
Hi, bruv. In attach u can find my eT9 for english keyboard. For editing it u need edit 2-nd column(it's letters then show then u tap button), 2-nd column(symbols produced by Fn + key), 3-d column (symbols in 123 mode).
NOTE!!! 1-st and last columns don't need editing!!!
For example u need printed 'W' then u pressed 'Q' button

Ok, so ive put the bindings (hopefully right) according to your template. But how do i get it to replace the english keymap in the wm6 windowsfolder ? It seems read only protected?
Try put it in over dir on your PPC and juts copy with replace or make *.cab and install it or copy from PC- i do it and all successfully .
View attachment eT9.Rose.0409.kmap.txtUploaded modified rose-file
You need rename it as name file in your sysrem.
Hmmm,
The keymapping text is write-locked, and seems both undeletable and unreplacable.
Is the any way i can make the windows folder show it self to my pc ?
(Im on a vista-machine with newest device center)
Any sure-trick i can do get the new text in and the old out ? Its the latest EVO version im playing with.
Really appreciate your help AlekSS
Ahaa..
Well I guess Im swearing to total commander too. Full success !!
Thanks all
Update:
Well, the rom, as it turned out, resat the original keymap after reboot, and TC somehow stopped wanting to work on it.
But as a final solution I disassembled the evo rom and substituted the keymap with the one I wanted, and built and reflashed. And it works well.
If anybody needs the 6.5 evo rom with norwegian layout ill upload and link.
You make a long way . You can make *.cab file with your *.kmap.txt and install it on your phone. It's worked well .

You can go into your control panel in classic mode and choose folder options and choose to unhide everything so you can see the system files.. but unfortunately that won't work since your device controls the permissions for those windows files on your phone. when you try to edit them your computer will still tell you that you do not have the permissions needed

Copy the attached Norwegian keyboard file in the Windows folder of your s620 and soft reset. Make sure the file is set as read-only.
You should then have Norwegian keyboard!
Works for me....
As far as i know you can customize FN symbols this way:
- with a regedit program take note of the filname (eT9.*.kmap.txt) in this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFiles\07FF
- copy this *.kmap.txt file from phone Windows folder to PC
- edit 4th and 5th row with the special charachters you need
- save as Unicode with another name (say eT9.Rhodium.0410custom.kmap.txt for a Rhodium phone)
- copy new file from PC to phone
- with a regedit program modify this key with the new file name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFiles\07FF
- soft reset
I've done it on a Rhodium but should be the same with other phones.
THis is a very simple batch file to assist you in flashing a boot screen
it still uses the same files as before its just put together in one section for ease of use as you can see
thanks to xMemphisx for supplying the required files for this to work

1.Extract BSF3000 and open the BSF300 Folder
2. Run CreateG1Splash.exe and choose your boot image (320 x 480 PNG for best results)
3. run the bootflash.bat and follow the on screen steps
* Reboot into fastboot
* IF you're on the older spl then u have 2 screens to flash so you're gonna follow step 3 and 4. and reboot
*If you're on the newest spl the you're just going to flash 1 screen by following step 2 and reboot
4. VIOLA!!! u have a new bootscreen with no copying and pasting

I don't get it. What is classified as the "special" SPL, and what is the "other" spl's? Create a list please .
I'm using Haykuro's Danger SPL...I assume that's "special"?
im assuming special is haykuros and other is any other spl
grr...I hate having a Mac! lol
Anyway someone could setup something like this for linux or Mac users. Pretty please.
Yes sorry for any confusion ....haykuros spl is the special spl
Where is it pulling mysplash.rgb565 from? Says mine cannot load it.
Edit: Fixed the problem. I placed the .bat file in my Android SDK Tools folder, intended to work next to ADB. Didn't know you could run the .bat from the extracted zip folder itself.
Problem: Haykuro's SPL only flashes the first screen, the T-Mobile G1 screen, correct?

if u created ur own bootscreen it should be pulling it from the folder
Alright. Got everything to work. Might want to flash back to the original G1 screen, because having that first T-Mobile screen is crucial to me.
On a side note, a couple of apps and widgets broke upon rebooting. Some widgets wouldn't load, other apps lost data connections. Ran a fix_permissions, everything works fine now
Curious question, does anyone have the original "T-Mobile G1" boot screen?

nice work dom. It was quite a bit easier this way. I noticed after flashing the danger spl that i could only change one boot screen. Anyone know why that is? Not super important since the first one only last a couple seconds anyways.

"danger" SPL only has 1 boot screen to flash, there's a thread about it somewhere, think i read it in the old thread somewhere
note about the tool, VERY fast, VERY easy, even a n00b like me could do it. If you have "danger" SPL you will need updated USB drivers, but i'm sure you know that already
The script litterally is, put your image into the folder, run the bat, press 2 <enter> (for special SPL that is)and you're done, really couldn't be simpler if you tried
I'm glad everyone likes it
my adb work find, but for some reason this script stay at wating for device, any input?
my diamond restarts randomly feew times a day.can anyone help
did you install any ROMs recently or is this a second hand device.
please go to start menu > settings > system > device information
type here all the details you see in device information
also reset your device with stylus and keep holding down the volume key.
give all the details you see in the Red Green Blue screen
to go back to your windows, simply reset again..
after pressing vol down +reset red green blue screen apears for very short period, after that screen turns blue. trigger host usb apears on blue screen
you shud actually reset with stylus and LET GO...but keep pressing volume down key...until RGB screen appears
i have instaled new rom recently but this problem apeeared before that
did you do mtty step before you installed any rom?
this is a know problem with diamond flashes withour erasing the entire flash block. you may experience freezes, hangups, reboots...
the mtty method helps to clear this flash block entirely, when a task 29 is done before each flash

this is what i see on rgb screen. sorry i'm on line with mobile so it takes time to restart and get back on line.
whats mtty should that help
Its okay. Take your time. So i see you have Hard SPL 1.40, which is good. Means you have flashed roms.
This is exactly what i meant. I dont think you have checked about what "mi-t-ty" is all about.
Like i said, mtty procedure is a procedure which needs to be done, to save yourself from problems like you are having now.
mtty is actually a program which shud be run from your PC. you put ur device in bootloader mode and perform a task 29.
when you do this, ur entire flash block on the diamond will be slate CLEAN.
you shud try it. i m sure it wil save ur device from restarts. this has been proven all over the forum.
btw whats the rom ur using now?
Thanks for adwice. I'm gona try it. I hope that thing works. If it does you have a drink when you come to croatia. BsBUltimate is my current rom

If you are having a hard time running mtty or cant perform the task 29, let me know.
do you have some reccomendations about roms
i personally dont carry any roms that have sense 2.1 or sense 2.5 and neither TF3D 2.1
call me old fashioned. but i like to be able to run multiple apps without the message "out of memory" which you wud experience on these said roms.
but i do recommend GEN.Y Sense 2.1 ROM. Its pretty stable. And a recent one with TF3D 2.1 is paki's rom is one i like too.
ok thanks. aboat mtty... ihave red this link you gave me but its quite confusig and my inglish isnt so great. so... i dot kow should i flash a new rom when i do the mtty or i can do it with exsisting rom. if you can give me some directions it would be great
okay lemme make ur job easier.
1. the flash block is going to be cleaned. so your rom file be wiped out.
2. you can flash the same rom after doing mtty (task 29)
AS i said above. Lets make ur job easier. No need to install mtty or do task 29 from PC. Here is a shortcut method.
*Download the attached file. Extract it anywhere you want. I recommend C:\
you wil see two files inside Task29 folder
FlashRUU.exe
preflash.nbh
now extract the BsB rom file anywhere. copy the ruu_signed.nbh or diamimg.nbh from bsb extract and paste into Task29 folder
now there shud be 3 files in Task29 folder
FlashRUU.exe
preflash.nbh
ruu_signed.nbh < ------ bsb rom file or any other rom file
run FlashRUU.exe and follow on screen instructions.
***Note: Credits to etoy for the task 29 FlashRUU. i took this from his kitchen***

can anyone tell me why my htc desire is stuck at this screen when i put in the battery?
-- 1 minute later --
well, i can't post a pic since not allowed to link until after 8 posts
it looks like a boot screen with 3 android dudes on the bottom.
any ideas?
Your stuck at the bootloader. Means that there is no boot.img. You've done something to it. Just flash a rom and it'll be fine. Don't forget to wipe data.
ok, thats positive news so far
the things is, i think its water damage but not much water at all really. just a bit from snowing while skiing.
the power and volume buttons do not seem to respond AND the ohone turns on by itself when i insert the battery.
is it still just a case of 'flash a ROM'? or is there more?
oh, and here is the image..... finally,

You don't have root or a custom recovery, correct? You just want to go back to the stock Froyo?
I think if the power buttons don't work it may be a bit of a problem selecting options in that menu, since the power button works as "select" in that menu.
I think you could boot to recovery using command prompt, but I am not 100% sure about that.
Also, are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery installed?
What is 'Kali CM7 Apps2SD'? Is that just another name for S2E?

Do you have a note of which rom was installed in your device? Is it carrier locked? Branded?
Select the newest RUU that fits your phone & carrier from http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/. Extract the ROM, rename to PB99IMG.zip, place in root dir of sd-card and reboot. Should do everything else automatically.
don't really follow the whole ROM question?
my phone has android v2.2, is NOT branded, is NOT locked and NO rooting.
and i should add that i am sweden if that matters.
The file you download from shipped roms is an exe file. When you execute the file it will extract a couple of files to your harddrive. Among those is a file named ROM.zip. That's the one you're looking for.
When I extracted it the file was here C:\Users\*User Name*\AppData\Local\Temp\{722DC7D5-7B69-4EBC-B6FB-B63AE38C01DE}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
The ROM on shipped ROMs are all the standard carriers version that are unmodified.

Yeah but there are different versions of 2.2 depending on carriers etc, thats why I was asking!
I *think* any of the ROMS here with RUU at the beginning & WWE in the filename should work. (I am not 100% sure about this, as I have not had an official rom installed for AGES).
You will then have to follow sonoftobit's instructions I think, don't ask me how to extract the ROM though, as I don't know how to do it!
PS sonoftobit - Ignore this liquidmonkey!
If you go to the CM7 nightly thread and go to the 2nd post, Kali has a script for enabling Apps2SD. That is what I am running, tried to use S2E but it screwed things up royally and I had to restore a Nandroid!
Yeah, I had the same problems with S2E. I'm using DarkTremor App2SD now which has worked flawlessly ever since (both Sense Froyo and CM7). Also there's A2SDGUI for DarkTremor now which makes it even better.

why on earth would you write that?
so check it out!!!
i have had the phone off for a few more days and then put in the battery and BANG, it started up after a little while.
problem was that my battery only lasted 10 seconds so i was not able to fully test things.
then i put the battery in again and i was back where i started, crappy boot screen.
is there something in the phone that keeps memory of the boot screen and then disapates after a day which would explain why it started today.... or?
