Hi to all! I installed a new cooked great rom to my trinity a month ago and it worked fine. it is this rom
[ROM][ITA]WM 6.1 Elegance edition 2.14 (OS 5.2.19213 Build 19213.1.0.0)[ONLINE]
today I got a strange error and the phone was stuck. I unplugged the battery and when I started again it was stuck on the calibration screen. if I tap on the screen nothing happens but the backlight turns on if it was off so it still catches the taps. I connected the phone via usb to delete from the autostart menu the link to the configuration screen (welcome.exe) but the phone is not deteced by activesync so no way to browse folders on my device or use a program like SOTI to control the ppc. I want to bring it back to life as I know that my files hasn't been deleted. in fact if I press the right soft button I get a menu of a program I put in the ppc and it's not included in the elegance rom so I'm sure my files and my configuration and everything are still there.
if i get a phone call the phone rings (with the default ringtone anyway, but the name of the caller is displayed correctly, that's why I'm sure my device still has all my contacts and more)
what could I do?
is there a way to edit files from bootloader? does mtty work for this? (I have no idea how to use mtty so I might be wrong) could I make a full dump, edit the startup folder and reflash the phone with all my data?
I tried to use mortscript witht the autorun feature to read a part of the register regarding the welcome file and deleting it's link in the startup folder but the sd card driver is not loaded I think as the files are not launched, while in another phone the same script works fine.
thanks in advance to all who will have time and will to help me

as far as i know (not that much), reading files from bootloader is pretty impossible.
You can always just reflash. If the touchscreen problem persists, it's possible that the problem is hardware related.
Your computer should detect your device when in bootloader, and failing that, you should be able to SD flash (assuming you're HardSPL'd or equivalent, thats just what we have in the herald forum)
Thanks for your help
I'm quite sure the hardware is fine as all my problems started after a crash of the OS.
Anyone has an idea to get access to my ppc?

if the sdcarddriver is not loaded then the following will not work but give it a try anyways. make a text file "whatever.txt" no quotes then rename it to "welcome.not" no quotes then put it in the root of your storage card and it should skip the whole startup process. that is if it loads the sd card driver or you might want to think about flashing another rom
I already tried the "welcome.not" trick but got no results. I'm afraid that the sd card driver is not loaded then.
Thanks for the hint irus anyway!
Really there's no way to read files from bootloader or something similar?
not that i know of
but the fact that your issue was noticed during a rom flash
dont mean it's not hardware related
much like a heart attack which happens during a thunderstorm
dont need be related to the thunderstorm
Wait! The error never happened during a flash. I never said it. I had that rom on my trinity since a month and it worked like a charm. Then suddenly I got an error and the phone was stuck.
I have understood what you mean but at least I hope it's not a hardware failure!
Hey, xda-devs.
I need a bit of help. I was trying to flash Eclair 2.1 Polymod to NAND on my AT&T Tilt on T-Mobile's USA network. I was previously using Dutty's Diamond v1 and Myn's Warm Donut from haret.exe
Unfortunately, I was kind of stupid while flashing - I decided I was going to flash KAISIMG.nbh *before* I actually put the /andboot folder on there. (This was due to a lack of research on my part because I only looked at one how-to which omitted the /andboot step.)
"Well that's fine," I thought, "I'll just put the /andboot on there with the polymod inside and re-flash KAISIMG.nbh!" I did this, and it's still not working... which doesn't make alot of sense to me. My KAISIMG.nbh has no issue flashing, but when I restart the phone I get stuck at the first HTC splash with the planet & whatever.
I've tried multiple panels for the KAISIMG.nbh, I made sure nothing else was on the SD card, and I even tried a hard reset of my phone, still to no avail.
So tell me, xda-devs. Did I brick my phone? I don't think I did because it actually powers on and all that jazz, it just won't load the android install program.
dont think it is bricked
if you can get into the 3 colored bootloader screen it is not bricked. just flash wince rom and you should be able to use your phone again.
if you flashed an android nbh you should get the linux logo and see bunch of text scroll over your screen. it you hit the dpad you should get into the installer menu.
Maybe you didn't actually flash the nbh?
did you get into the tri colored bootloader screen and then did you hit power when prompted?
the android kaiser nbh normally doesn't have a splash screen, so your old wince splashscreen will remain.
hope this help, more details from your part would help us help you.
Hey, thanks for replying
Yes, I get the tri-color screen but I'm not getting the linux logo or anything of the sort. I'm getting the old splash screen that came with the phone. When I passed the tri-colored screen I get the prompt to press the power button, then it flashes KAISIMG.nbh, (Although it says something like "File - KAISIMG.nbh" and "OS - " then nothing after OS... dunno if that helps)
But I'm glad to know I didn't brick it!
I experimented with various KAISIMG.nbh files found here. I believe those are Android KAISIMGs although I don't know since I can't read them with my text editor.
It could be the problem I have once in a while on my Kaiser. Try removing the battery and hold down the power button. Put the battery back in and turn on your kaiser. You should start seeing the scrolling text.
As far as I know that's normal. Happens once in a while.

Negative, no change... How long should I hold it down?
You're holding down the button to release any power left in your phone. Sometimes, it can be a hit or a miss.
If all else fails, invoke the loader by holding down power button + camera button, and then press the reset button with the stylus. Do this quickly when you turn on your phone, and you can problem load WM back onto your phone.
I think Android needs a custom HardSPl on Kaiser.
As far as the old splash screen is concerned, thats normal, flashing the nbh does not replace the splash screen, after flashing the nbh you usually have to pull the battery, wait a bit, then restart the phone, it takes a little time before the linux kernel boots the lcd panel, so at first it shows the splash screen for some time.
The screen will go weird briefly, followed by the scrolling text as linux kernel boots, watch for the 'hold dpad to enter installer' line, then press dpad centre button.
Don't worry about the need for a 'custom' HSPL, the hard-spl most of us use seems to work fine for majority of users, also although radio 1.71.09.01 is recommended, android will work fine with earlier radios, some even say it works better with some earlier radios, ( can't confirm this, since I seem to have no problems with anything radio related).
If you need to reflash WM, you can do this either using the bootloader in usb mode, or by putting a WM rom in SD renamed to kaisimg.nbh and flash by doing the power+camera method.

Yeah, that's the problem - I've flashed the .nbh, then taken the battery out for 10+minutes (including the method mentioned above of draining the power) but the screen never changes from the first splash page. I never get the scrolling text.
EDIT: I have a theory that maybe I should try the Panel 1 kaisimg.nbh instead of Panel 2 but since I don't have a computer that has a micro-SD slot it's a pain in the ass getting files on/off of there so I'll have to try it later. I'm also going to try with another built (Probably Myn's) to see if that works.
I got myself a cheap sd card reader and microsd adapter, makes life so much easier, however if you don't have access to one at the moment, just remove any sd in the phone, disable activesync, put the phone in bootloader, connect to usb cable, flash a WM rom, ( try a Stock HTC one from the wiki pages, this wipes everything, os,bootsplash,radio and gets rid of any traces of any custom roms).
And try running from SD to identify your panel type, etc, saves some time when flashing nand if you don't have to guess
I have a fresh install of Android on my HTC Touch Pro 2.
The install went fine thanks to TheBrilliantMistake's Tutorial.
The only thing I messed up was was calibrating the touch screen because I had never done a calibration like that before before. The touch screen function seems to be rotated 90 degrees to the right as far as I can tell.
I have entered the following line --
recalibrate=true
-- into the startup.txt a couple of different ways and I have had no success. I either get an error or Android just boots up with the touch screen all messed up again.
Android Rel 2.1 on WinMo 6.5
Can offer any other suggestions?
Thanks.
Missing setupmodem.sh
In order to get the phone to ask for calibration on boot I deleted the ts-calibration file from the root of the directory where Android is installed.
No changes to startup.txt where needed.
It's spot on this time...
Another problem:
On boot I can see this output "init: Cannot find setupmodem.sh Disable modem" and then when I do search for available networks in Android I get nothing, it just searches forever until I stop it. As a result I can't use my phone as a phone in Android..
Where can I find a copy of setupmodem.sh ?
Just wondering why you used Brilliantmistakes version for the TP when there is a TP2 version that already comes calibrated, with a startup utility that allows you to pick what handset you're using, a update utility that lets you update your zimage/modules/initrd/rootfs from the handset, auto backlight WM controller, and an apk manager...... oh, and did i mention you can pick from 3 different builds of android?

lmao!!! 0wned!
I do apologoze for the inconvenience of bothering you guys but i am just baffled on dual booting my windows moble devices. I have the rhodium and the hd2. I have probably downloaded all the software from your site and the only thing that actually loads is the gen y dual boot screen. I cleared my memory on both phones so i can start off fresh and this is were you guys come in. I admitt, i am an idiot when it comes to this and i do need step by step instructions on for dual booting and adding android. If you guys can instruct and guide me in laymans terms, I surley would appreciate it!!!!!!
try this, it's working for my rhodium
You should keep in mind that since the HD2 doesn't have an Android port yet, that using the Gen.Y dual boot cab on the HD2 is kind of pointless.
As for getting Android on the Touch Pro2, all you need to do is visit the sticky thread at the top of this subforum titled "[CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility". It will contain a self-installing Android package, as well as a GUI configuration tool for certain Android/Linux boot parameters. Simply download it and install it to your storage card.
As for the dual booting, you can use the cab that dislok attached above.
I think what he's asking for is a true "Dual Booting solution" similar to dual booting in a PC between Windows and Linux instead of having to wait for Windows Mobile to boot up and then start Gen.y Dual boot and unless I'm mistaking I don't think its exactly possible yet.
i want to use XDANDROID
i see a ROM which can boot android quickly,and my friend use it
its for touch pro only?
could i use it on my diamond?
LiteWM ROM to autoboot linux
LightNHB boot
MichyPrima has created a lite WinMo that automatically loads haret from your SD card. It loads pretty quick and i can confirm it works It has a boot option so just wait until you see Booting countdown and touch the screen.
Reboot, Shutdown, USB mass Storage and Continue Booting Android
i don't think so.

I believe he made this for diamond. But it flashes okay with the raphael. Do a search as i'm not 100% sure. but it should work
