Please help me - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development

So im posting a new thread again sorry about that but i still cant get android to work
What ived done so far:
1.Partitioning the sd card Fat32/Ext2/Ext2/Lynx swamp whit gparted from ubuntu 10.4
2 Put cyanongen on my sd in a folder called andboot:
Heres what ived downloaded
androidinstall.tar and the atached Haret from the same post
3.Runed Haret that i also put on andboot folder i pressed the midle key select
Heres a video that shouws exactly what my phone does
mediafire.com/?72vuj3aa147xy60

youtube.com/watch?v=sVK-tJe8pXE
Here are many good users that tried to help me but it seems im just to nooby to finish the progres if someone is testing the cyanongen please upload the files to media fire or anithing else so i can just copy them on the sd and instal it
Sorry for the anoyng sound in my video i was recording it whit my other phone HTC DIamond
I posted this new thread because monay i will go on a trip and i really want to test android ThX
P.S. if the links dont work try add the www in front

Can't really remember how to use the SD method. Installing on NAND is way much better. I guess full explanation for the SD is somewhere here in the TyTN II forum. I guess milanche explains enough on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732040
Best advice: if you use your TyTN II as a main phone, don't mess with it now, wait until you come back from your trip when you have plenty of time to fix problems that may occur...If this is a secondary phone, best thing to do is install on NAND. it works fine for me (aside from me trying new stuff every day and messing every thing )

Hmm.. You get I/O error during install.
First thing I think of is damaged SD card. Do you have another you could try?

or try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7274975&postcount=7

ived folowed akmalxxx guide and ived got the the same eror that milanche was talking about
and in the end after the A N D R O I D
ived got this error Unable to open persistent property directory /data/property directory /data/property errno : 2
This was done on the same sd so sd might have problems then i wil try another sd and post back

Constant Rebooting?????!!!!

ok, I'm really angry... Sometimes when I reset my phone, it starts rebooting over, and over, and over, and over, and over.... Aarrghhh!!!!
Make it STOP!!!! Anyone else get this?
search and you will find
Okay, I did a search and this info is Not easy to find.
Here is what to do:
Yank out the battery, the storage card, whatever it take to get the phone to finish booting.
Navigate with ActiveSync, Resco Explorer or Total Commander to Windows/omap850_sdhc.dll -- rename this file to omap850_sdhc.dll.old
reboot
when you reboot it will reinstall the drivers to your storage card and everything will be fine again.
Happy New Year.
Too bad this doesn't work for the Excalibur. The file is in ROM and cannot be edited.
Try this. Since we can't edit the file.
Just reboot without the SD card. Which should result in a succesful reboot.
Once the device is running, insert the SD card which should prompt the driver to reinstall, and you'll find the reboot after that is fine.
At least this has worked for most of he people I've talked to that have had this problem
If you are using the T-Mobile ROM, the only for sure fix is to flash the ROM to a non T-Mobile ROM.
ROM flashing is found in the sticky in the Excalibur section.
Read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307434&highlight=reboot+loop
Good luck!
Just so you don't think the TMO ROM being the problem is only one persons opinion.
It is the ROM. I have tried most, if not all, of the other ROM's posted in this section and haven't run into that issue with any other one besides the TMO ROM.
ever since i switched to that new htc rom (the thread is a few below this one) i have not had any cycling on the reboot with my storage card .. just a thought if your thinking of upgrading
Would anyone mind posting the T-Flash card driver here so us T-Mo rom users could drop it in our Windows folder and change the registry to use the new one?
Hi i got the same issue: When my SD card was in, it rebooted in loop!
And when i retired the SD card, it was fine.
But with SKTool, i deleted duplicated NotificationQueue and with a registry editor, i deleted the key: HKLM/Services/WLM
And now, no reboot looping anymore
Hope it works for u ^^

[How-To] properly install Android

It is not quite self-explaining how to install Android on our Windows Mobile devices. Therefore I took some time and wrote down all the steps for people who are new to "Android".
More testers -> more experience -> more knowledge -> faster/better development.
I hope this way the forum is kept clean(er) from all kinds of questioned that have already been answered many times.
ReadMe Includes:
- Partitioning
- Device preparations
- Boot loader
- Install steps
- Fixes
- Links
- more...
If you are a developer (you create your own package) feel free to use my ReadMe for your packages (update regularly though).
to download the ReadMe click the [Android Repository] button in my signature.
It goes to a rapidshare page with 3 files, and when I click on the filename Android_README.TXT
or start download, I get the error
The file could not be found. Please check the download link.
ok thanks. i fixed it (rs bug when renaming files ^^)
How would i partition a 1GB SD Card? ie what sizes etc are the last 3 same but the unallocated is just whats left over?
I want to use a spare card rather then the one that came with my HD.

normally just calculate how i wrote in the readme:
whole space -768 (3* 256) and then the other 3 x 256
but in ur case i would make the swap smaller (i think its not even used at all) and the fat32 bigger; for instance:
fat32 - 384 MB
ext2 - 256 MB
ext2 - 256 MB
swap - 128 MB (rest)
To be honest the bit I find most confusing is all the different versions!
i didnt create any partitions on my card, and android works as good as it does on any, mind you i have not updated the files fo0r a month so alot might have changed
ReadMe updated!
updated a bit...

i agree...
i've been looking these posts here for a couple of days now and i still don't know how to do it....
especially the DualBoot thing...
is it possible to make a little bigger how-to manual?
or at least explain the versioning and the needed thing a little more?
the readme is about 50 times longer than anything else u will find about installing android anywhere else
the different versions are just like in windows mobile, theres not much to explain, its rather up to ur personal preference. doesnt take as long as flashing a wm rom, so its easy to try out more versions, especially with more sd cards.
dual boot is easy:
1. install the cab
2. open the dual boot program and make all your settings, for example: auto boot android (click on the checkbox/ratio under android logo), check auto boot checkbox and check fast boot (means 3 instead of 10 secs).
3. restart your device, DONT LAUNCH HARET because that will destroy all the dualboot settings. if you restart/shutdown the device normally, the settings will be stored and android will automatically booted at next startup (or whatever you set before)
if you have android autoboot and u want to boot wm, just QUICKLY press the wm LOGO when the dual boot screen appears.
i might include this in the readme soon, just dont have the time right now unfortunally

Thanks for the dualboot help... i'll try that...
the first problem I have encountered yesterday when trying to put Android was SD card formating...
i downloaded the program you said and followed the instructions oh how-to and was not able to do it under Windows 7 with my 16GB SD card... does it even work for Windows 7??? is there another program I can try to do it with???
I have also dualboot on my PC with the Kubuntu being the second OS, but I'm not using it as much as Windows 7... I can try with it if you think it will work.. but first I have to download the 15GB of data from my SD card to my PC, again
I would like to put the Espresso build cause I saw that it has everything working beside the GPRS and camera...
can you tell me what should I download for my Blackstone so it works properly???
thanks alot...

like the readme says: partitioning is only needed for partitined builds, which means that android uses several partitions to store different kinds of data, for - hopefully - more speed. only glossy uses partitions, espresso doesnt.
for glossy, u can also use ubuntu (download parted magic or something similar) to create partitions.
for espresso, u just need to copy the stuff onto ur sdcard.
but thats all in the readme... i dont have time to explain in detail coz i need to study a whole ****in lot at the moment +.+

well, some details about what version you are using would be helpful. however, this is not the right channel to ask this question. i think this question has already been asked several times in other threads. try search function or read the thread for ur version, its probably a version-issue or only for your country/provider

Android boot error "micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used"

Android boot error "micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used"
I've been battling this error again and again whenever I tried another Android release, and since there are no real answers around, but some others have the same problem, which according to searches mostly goes unanswered in bigger threads, I decided to go ahead and dedicate one thread to it.
Problem: After installing Android and running it, its boot ends up in an eternal loop displaying
Code:
micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used
.
Setting: German Rhodium. Initially an Energy ROM. Since I thought it might be something from the ROM, the latest one is Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA_LITE_ROM)_28.Jan.
8 GB SD from Kingston. Since this was named as a possible problem, tried with 1 GB SD (Kingston) as well.
Reformatted SD and restarted from scratch.
Tried Android versions:
Project Android 030810.cab
Project Android 033110.cab
[MJG]Rhod.Eclair.Rebuild033110.3.rar
plus various older ones (with different base name, xAndroid or something like that?) already deleted.
Tried to disable 3D Hardware during boot.
Another suggested workaround to use specific files from older releases; these I could no longer find on the net.
To sum attempts up:
Tried different (?) Android releases (xAndroid, Project Android) - fail
Tried small SD card (1 GB) - fail
Tried SanDisk instead of Kingston SD card - pending
Tried to reformat SD card (with SD card formatter) - fail
Tried to disable 3D Hardware - fail
Tried WinMo ROM labeled as created for Android (Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA_LITE_ROM)_28.Jan) - fail
Tried to insert SIM card (was missing) - fail
Tried to update HardSSL (Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe) - fail
Information:
(forum prevented me from adding links to external information)
This forum, other members with same problem
Looking for: suggestions what else to try.

I have an AT&T Tilt2, stock rom, 8GB SanDisk. I see a very similar message when booting xdandroid, but mine continues to boot through, my boot sequence snippet runs like this:

Then continues to the screen calibration. I know I'm not helping directly, but perhaps can help lead others to clues ?
i already started a topic for this exact error....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632128
So far no one has come up with a solution...
Oh, sorry, I searched the forum a few times, but mus have forgotten that thread, otherwise I would've posted there as well...
From what I can read there, maybe I should try a SanDisk instead of Kingston SD? Or is it SD vs. SDHC? Anyway, I just ordered a 2 GB SanDisk from Amazon (smallest one I could get ) and will try this next...
I managed to solve it by reflashing the newest HardSPL. (In my case I had a corrupt microp firmware, casuing all kind of problems in WM as well).
It might not solve the problem for you, but it can't hurt either
My SanDisk SD has not yet arrived, but I tried to insert a SIM card (phone currently has none, since I' using another one while testing) - no changes.
Thanks for the HardSPL hint - tried as well. No Luck, but at least another topic to add to the "things I tried" list
Okay.. So, i tried HardSPL.
Task 29
Reloaded my Rom
Hard Reset
Formatted Memory Stick
Followed ALL instructions!
Nothing happened.
I then went back and tried an old version of android from this thread
I used the 12/20 2.01 version.
AAAANNND..... it loaded right away....
WHY does this old version work, and the new ones wont?
what is different?
Update: my SanDisk SD card arrived, so I loaded [MJG]Rhod.2.1Sense.042310.rar, extracted it to the card, and started it. Same problem. This means it does not seem like a Kingston SD card problem.
So... I tested, and can confirm that the old build you linked solved the problem for me as well!
I have searched this ENTIRE FORUM and read EVERY SINGLE GOD FORSAKEN post about this error. I am at my whits end!
Someone said they got it to work with a more current package and an old rootfs.img
I didnt try the same two builds they did, i tried the sense ui one and the old rootfs. from the build i said works. it did not work.
so i figured i would compare the two rootfs.img to see what the difference is.
however, i cannot open the contents in windows (from what i understand)
so i install UBUNTU on my computer.
I cant for the life of me figure out how to mount the damn image!
PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE! please look this up. i am frustrated beyond words.
if you can give me a way to compare these files in windows, i will be glad to do it.
I just cant stand windows mobile crashing all the mother f-ing time and i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to use android. Im sorry for being so frustrated. i have spent literally HOURS on this...
Anyone, anything?
Mount rootfs.img

You can mount image in terminal like this:
first create dir with:
mkdir /mnt/rootfs
then mount the image:
mount rootfs.img /mnt/rootfs/ -o loop
then change dir to /mnt/rootfs and you have the android FS.
i will also compare old and new rootfs so maybe we will found something!
BR
I still have this problem.
I tried what you said, but i keep getting errors. I cant seem to get it to work. I will again look through all the threads again, as well as the different websites i found from google. i will link them tomorrow when i get a chance. If anyone else has found anything, please let me know.
The latest kernel has the following commit message
"rewritten micropklt_lcd_ctrl calls to micropklt_set_misc_states calls"
So this might fix it for you guys?
It seems to have some other problems with sleep etc, but if it boots it is something
I see, thanks for looking, however, i still cant figure out how to mount and change things in ubuntu (sorry, i know i am a newb) would you be able to repackage it with the line changed to the old one? and upload it? i will check it out to see if it works.
It's alive!!
Download latest Android build with latest kernel from hxxp://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ and replace zImage and modules and thats it.
i didn't test it full, but it starts!
Thanks to Star-Lite for info!!!
BR
Ah yes it works! Beautiful beautiful!
Don't thank me, thank CaptNoord for fixing this in the kernel
I'm sure he has a donate button somewhere
I will donate as soon as the bills are past this month (a couple more days)
Out of plain curiousity, is there a reason why this error only happened on some devices and not others? Could it be from a hardware difference between maybe different revisions of the device?

How to install froyo on sd card

So first of all i must say that im a completly noob at the android instalation on kaiser
I search for a noob tutorial but i coudnt fiind can someone post here a tutorial including files thanks
Here is the Guide in Sticky
How to replace Windows Mobile with Android (Guide) by Dukenukemx
scroll down to Installing Applications Onto SD Card using Ext2
This should help. The guide help me greatly, very easy to follow.
Hope this helps.
Its not tricky, I mean even I can do it, come on
I did edit a wiki page on this, but appears to be down, so here goes, from memory.
Backup any data first, just in case, not taking any responsibility for loss of data.
Firstly ensure your SD card if formatting correctly (FAT32), use on Gparted (linux live CD) to do this, (for me, I created two ext 2 partitions as well as I thought this would work best, works for me).
You then need the HaRET application to allow you to run Android. Google "haret.exe"
Extract the files this should create the right directory.
You then need to choose a build, this is personal choice, but I'll post the one I am testing right now. milanche's CyanogenMod 6 Kaiser
Put the installandroid.tar into the folder you created above.
Move to your SD card.
Find and run HeRET.
When screen shows text, tap and hold the center of the screen until you get a menu.
Choose install (ensure the options are set to SD).
Select Install
Once done, select Quit.
This then installs Android and can take a while, just leave it to get on with it.
You should then been booted into Android.
I might have forgotten something, as I am doing this from memory, but it should be fresh since I installed this last night.
Looks good to me, nice guide, don't think you missed anything
Thatnk you Zenity, but I know I couldn't have done this without your help in the begining when I first tried it. I know how it can seem all a bit over whelming.
I know a lot of people say 'search for it' but I did that just to see what I would find, and to be honest, I didn't get anything but that was of any use, so I can sympathis the search doesn't always get you the right results.
I could not remember the direcotry names when I wrote that at work and had to do it in a hurry as the entire office can see my magnified screen so it was a quick brain dump, not as nice as I would have liked to have written it given the time (which I did on the wiki but its down).
Anyway Keeps it fresh in my mind too.
I can only do this when I'm given the right files, I got confused myself when people started talking about different zImages. I tend to go for the builds where everything is bundled into one packing, as some can seem fragmented, ie Fresh Foryo, I don't doubt that it may be a good rom, but its deleivery is complicated (for me ).
Wish I had more time an experience to make my own build, I have done a bit of linix hacking in my time with shell scripts (getting wifi cardds working ona laptop etc), Its all interesting stuff.
thanks guys u helped me alot in the end i will instal android on an ext2 partition
Dear Leona,
The link seems no longer valid, can you tell where to find the latest HaRET application? Besides, how should I format my SD card? by special software? Thanks.
Dave
If you'd have problems with using Gparted Live CD like me... just because it does not mount SD card in adapter... here is what I did to partition the SDHC 4GB card...
I booted with HARET but did not select to install.. it gracefully fails to terminal
command: su
command: fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
deleted all current patrition (d)
created new partitions whith calculated size (8192 for 256MB)
changed type of the first and biggest patririon to FAT32 (t => c)
written all the changes to the partition table (w)
Than you should take out the card before rebooting and format FAT32 partition in win to upload all te android boot files, rebot the phone and follow with instalation...
But I must say, now I am using Scooters Cyanogen in NAND and it it far far easier
After I choose run, then a list of Linus commands ran, then it said
:loseup:/dev/block/loops: No such file or directory
Failed
Failed to reach system.img on SD card
By the way, anywhere I can download a complete set of files for running? Thanks.

read a lot before attempting to do anything! use the search tool too, could be of some help.
For SD Partitioning, I remembered this Thread, which might help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619290
Sounds like you are not holding the centre Dpad button (or pressing the centre of the screen) while haret is loading, yes this can be Hit and Miss it winds me up no end.
If you have access to a Linux machine (or boot a Live CD), as well as being useful for SD partitioning it also maybe used to try out Atools (you'll need to install python and python-tk (via the package manager)) as this will get you the right Kernels, images and configure your default.txt file for you, though I haven't managed to get the build script bit working yet, but that is down to my lack of understanding the instructions

[Help] Problem Rooting using the No-PC Method

Hey Guys,
Before I ramble on about my problems, I would like to thank all the amazing devs that work night an day to make our phones awesome. I have been reading these forums for a couple of weeks and have seen how helpful everyone in these forums are to us noobs.
I'm not new to Rooting (Rooted my G1 a while back and Jailbroke a 1st Gen iPhone way way back lol), but this is my first time Rooting my 3G Slide, which I have had since they were first launched.
I am attempting the No-PC Method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896148
I have been trying since last night with no success. I have followed the process step by step, to the T, and continue to encounter the same error every time I try.
I succesfully flash the ESPRIMG.zip and then go to Recovery to apply the "update.zip" file so I can go into Clockwork Recovery, however instead of going into Clockwork Recovery it just gives me the following error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
I have searched the forums and none of the responses and solutions have been helpful as almost all of them are users who have already flashed a ROM on their phones as opposed to the Stock one, and a lot of them seem to be prior to this new AndRoot method.
Also, I am using this method as I do not have a USB cable for my phone or a PC for that matter, and havent really researched any Mac mathods of Flashing a Custom ROM to the phone.
Any help would be mucho appreciated!
i think you have to have the update.zip file in the root of your sd card
I reformatted the SD Card and only placed the necessary files in the root of the card. There is nothing else in the card at the moment except for the update.zip file, ROM, gapps, and radio updates. I have no idea why i keep ketting this error, from all the research I've done, this should be working, but clearly there is something I'm doing wrong :-/

yeah, that's not good if that's all you have there. i was working with someone over at the tmobile forums who was getting the same error (http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/myTouch-3G-Slide/Easy-root-unroot-Froyo-for-all/td-p/649239/page/6) and it turned out they had the downloaded files in a different folder, and moving them to the root made it work... you may want to try using the files you need from this link instead: http://richard.gluga.com/2010/08/complete-guide-to-rooting-and-hacking.html
I'm a newbie to the whole programming side of computers, familar with using one though. I am going through the steps of the no pc rooting, and I read through step 6 and I thought it was confusing it says...
Install And Run Root Explorer then Copy and paste flash_img and mtd0.img to /data/local on android device multi-select copy then rm r/w in program in upper left on data local folder. I am confused with the rm r/w section there, I haven't gone through the steps, just want to have a general idea before I get in there and screw something up.
Yeah, that ones a lil tricky apparently. Root explorer can be found in the market for ~$4, but if you click the link for the tmobile forum, we found that another app (free) works just as good.
I managed to make it work last night. I'm pretty sure I kept downloading the incorrect ESPRIMG.zip file from several sites. I think I was getting the original stock ROM as opposed to the Engineering Build.
Anyways, mine's working now.
As for the step 6 on the instructions. It basically means that after you paste the files you need to go back to the android system (the folder where you can see everything thats on the android) and at the very top of the window you will see a button that says "R/W" next to something like "Mount as R/O". You just need to hit that button so you can write to the folders, then go back to /data/local and long press "Image_flasher" click on permissions and make sure everything is checked, then repeat on "mtd0.img" file.
I know its a long explanation for such a small step but I try to be as detailed as i can. Hope it helped.
Get
update.zip
Put iton ur SD card
and a ROM.zip that you like n the SD card as well..

I just went through the same thing - I had restored my phone back to stock and then went to re-root it. I have 2 copies of ESPRIMG, file sizes as follows:
The one that was giving me problems: 145,045,641 bytes
The one that ended up working: 143,701,302 bytes
Once I used the slightly smaller ESPRIMG the process worked perfectly. When using the other one I was getting the same error as the OP.
