Well I am desparetly trying to cook a NAND build for my HD2 but there is pretty much less info available for me [a big NOOB in cooking] to try out my luck at cooking..!!!
So I'll appreciate if someone would put some light on it..!!!
PS: - I would appreciate if somebody can provide a detailed info..!!!

Finally the tutorial
Make your own Android Build for the HD2 by domineus ​I have always lived by these words- if you give a man a fish, he can eat for a day; but if you teach a man to fish you can eat for a lifetime. Android on the HD2 has always been an interesting thing for me and I know a lot of people that want to create their own builds, but have no idea how. If you ask a build creator or maybe someone in the htc-linux-chat how to get started, there may not be an answer. In fact, some of the perplexing behavior has left me puzzled in several ways - as if how to get an android build is a vaulted secret of knowledge like the holy grail. To be honest, it's not. It's a bit of hard work, a few nods in the right direction, and ultimately it's a community involved project. Just like miui development is a community project spanning actual continents to get this thing on our device every single week! It has led to a lot of questions, in my inbox, of how to begin. For a long time, the answer to the question was not answered until Cass helped me out. I want to do the same and contribute how to get a build of miui (or any android build) to the HTC HD2.
Things you will need
In order to properly start android development, it would be a good idea to make sure you have the following (a lot of it is no duh when you think about it)
A computer running linux
I can't stress that enough. While there is a lot of things you can do in windows, you will need some sort of linux distro in order to get android properly running on your HD2. There are a lot of linux distros you can use; with many using ubuntu as it is the most user friendly. I use Fedora and I am quite happy with the results. It's simple and effective. It gets the job done. Get a distro that you feel can get the job done.
Android SDK - either windows or linux
Android SDK is something that can be freely accessed and downloaded from the following location:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
It is a developer environment, but probably the most important thing you can use here (for the time being) is logcat. Logcat provides you to visually see the libraries and files working together to get android to work as well as if you run into an issue, it is the first thing you should resort to. For instance, boot reloop? Take a look at your logcat and try again.
A kernel
There are quite a few kernels available for android previously and they are divided into evo kernel or nexus one kernel. Many builders have transitioned to an evo kernel for PPP and a few other nice details but it is totally up to you. I highly recommend hastarin's kernel. For most of the time, it works well. But as you have noted, on MIUI, it hasn't been working as fantastic on other builds.
Donor Files
This is a bit difficult to find because it appears that the files that work best are nexus one builds without CM6.1 modification. So far, only one chef has that and it is tytung's nexus one build. Regardless of whose files you're using (e.g. tytung or darkstone's system which is the preferred choice) you will need a well working android build. You will be pulling several files in order to port.
MIUI itself (well any build honestly just miui is a good example)
This is a given. However, if you download from miui.com you will probably have an untranslated rom with odex files. That's bad. And in Chinese! It would be a good idea to browse the English forum for a deodexed rom with appropriate english translation (apps and frameworks)
-If pulling files from windows, you will need this
system extractor
http://uranus.chrysocome.net/linux/explore2fs-old.htm
I use that if I download in windows. It's relatively straight forward and it allows you to pull the files you need from the system.ext2 you're using and copying them to folders necessary.
build.prop
This you will need. You can find one here:
http://www.multiupload.com/B59IU3S6XY
Patience
Probably the most important thing. One thing I have noticed is you need patience to make it through. Sometimes, your build works, sometimes it doesn't. And it is difficult to still keep going. But gotta pull it all in and keep trying...it does pay off.
Okay so you have your files, a nice linux distribution, your build you want to port (MIUI preferrably) and you're ready to go. Now it's time to begin the process!
Step One - The Setup
I usually grab my files in windows before transitioning to my linux distro to finish the process. If you using windows 7 and you are using explore2fs, you will definitely have to right click on the exe and make it compatible by selecting compatible with windows vista. The file should also need to be run by administrator. If you don't know how to do that you can google compatibility in windows 7.
First thing is first. Create a new folder, you can call it donor_files if you want because name is arbitrary. The most important thing is to just name it. Within that folder, create a new folder called system. Enter the system directory and create a new folder called etc. Within etc, select Once that is done, create a new folder within etc called firmware. Once completed, return back to the system folder, create the folder called lib. In the lib folder, create a new folder called hw. So your folder should look like this:
Folder Name
-system
--etc
---firmware
--lib
---hw
So far so good? Excellent. Now, if you're in windows you will need to do a few things. Extract the system.ext2 of your donor build and place it somewhere you will remember (like your desktop). Now open up explore2fs, select file, and open image file. Under files of type (drop down), select all files and navigate to your system.ext2 file. You should now see the ext loaded on the left side of the program's workspace. Located is a very small + that allows you to view all directories in your ext2 file. Click that.
You will see several system folders on the left and files on the root. Since you haven't selected a specific folder, in the right hand view, you should see the file build.prop. If you did select a folder (like app) you will see some files. And that's okay too. Get a feel of the program.
Now you will do a test file pull. On the left hand side, select the folder etc. On the right window, you will see several files. We want AudioBTID.csv. Once you see the file, right click on AudioBTID.csv and select export file. Navigate to the donor file folder (or whatever you named it) and place the file in system/etc of that folder. Congratulations you just pulled your first file! But you will need a lot more files. Within the same directory, pull gps.conf, hosts, media_profiles.xml and the ppp folder. Now, navigate to firmware and pull the following files:
BCM4329B1_002.002.023.0360.0362.hcd default_france.acdb htcleo.acdb
BCM4329B1_002.002.023.0436.0439.hcd default_nel.acdb yamato_pfp.fw
bcm4329.hcd fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin yamato_pm4.fw
default.acdb fw_bcm4329.bin
Ideally you should not be able to find htcleo.acdb. You can find it here
http://gitorious.org/xdandroid_leo/q...eo/htcleo.acdb
Now in explore2fs, go to the lib directory and pull these files and place them in your lib directory:
libcamera.so
libcamera_client.so
libcameraservice.so
libhtc_ril_wrapper.so
libmm-omxcore.so
liboemcamera.so
libomx_aacdec_sharedlibrary.so
libomx_amrdec_sharedlibrary.so
libomx_amrenc_sharedlibrary.so
libomx_avcdec_sharedlibrary.so
libomx_m4vdec_sharedlibrary.so
libomx_mp3dec_sharedlibrary.so
libomx_sharedlibrary.so
libomx_wmadec_sharedlibrary.so
libomx_wmvdec_sharedlibrary.so
libOmxCore.so
libOmxVdec.so
libOmxVidEnc.so
libqcomm_omx.so
libstagefright_omx.so
Once those files are pulled, navigate to the hw folder of the system and pull the following files:
sensors.htcleo.so
lights.htcleo.so
Once those files are pulled, you can save your donor files to a flash drive and then boot into your linux distro. Login to superuser in terminal. For fedora, the proper method involves typing in su --login and entering your password you set up. Minimize your terminal window.
Extract the miui (or any other build) to your desktop (the focus is the system folder). Ensure the rom is deodexed and in your own language (if its miui, you will have to apply the proper language translations). Now copy the files you pulled from your donor build and apply it to the appropriate folders (usually a copy and a paste-literally). In this instance there will be duplicate files, overwrite them. That's the point! Do not forget the build.prop file I linked to earlier. You should add that to system folder.
So the files are copied, the next step is to restore the minimized terminal window (the one that is logged in as root). cd to where your system is located (not to the system folder itself). Now you will have to enter the following commands in terminal
chmod -R 777 system/etc
chmod 755 system/bin/*
chmod 755 system/xbin/*
rm system/etc/firmware/default*acdb (if you have sound in call issues)
touch system/etc/ppp/active (If you have latest wrapper and need ppp)
chown root:2000 system/bin/pppd
chmod 4755 system/bin/pppd
chown root:root system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 system/xbin/su
chown root:root system/xbin/hci*
chmod 4755 system/xbin/hci*
dd if=/dev/zero of=system.ext2 bs=1048576 count=256
mke2fs -F system.ext2
sudo mount -o loop system.ext2 /mnt2
cp -rp system/* /mnt2
sudo umount /mnt2
A few words on this that I must bold. the /mnt2 directory may not exist. If not, try mnt, that usually works
Once this is done, you will have a nice system.ext2. The only thing you'd need now is a rootfs, a kernel, clrcad.exe and a startup.txt file. Once that is done, you can test your build out.
Any questions
Special thanks to Cass and the htc-linux-chat for the few pointers they gave me.
The guide is by "domineus - http://www.miui-dev.com/" & I take no credit what so ever​
Thanks to "white-energy" for giving us the link..!!!
Hope to have many more Chief's for our HD2, so that we [especially me] can satisfy our hunger to try different builds/ROM's..!!!
Happy Cooking..!!!​

I've been looking for something like this. I want to create my own build for the recovery flasher. I guess the only thing needed would be how to convert from regular nand to recovery.
Thanks bro.

Are you sure its the only difference? Are the nand drivers stored only in the bootimg/initrd and not somewhere in the system.img?
yes or no will do for me thx

Is there a way to edit system.bin files, that comes with the NAND builds. I suppose that is where the ROM is. I want to unpack, edit the included apps and repack. How it is done? How the bin file is done. Google does not give any satisfiable links, did a quick search, though...

i am confused
Which explore 2fs do I download? There are 3 different ones one for binary one for code and optional update source code. I am a noob and tired of not having roms I am happy with. I have windows 7 and xp. I realize this will take time and I am good with it everything thats worth anything takes time.

I think you mean system.img not system.bin
You can extract them with the unyaffs.exe or with the unyaffs command under linux. I have written a guide with attatched utilities here
Additionally birksoffsjunk (seasoned WM guru & chef of ChuckyDroid, ChuckyROM, & Dexter) has made a batch program to make this process easier. It's a work in progress & somethings are still buggy so follow the thread
Between the utility birkoffsjunk made & the tutorial I wrote you should be able to successfully edit & run your own build. Hope this helps.

I have only green HTC
Hello
I would like to use Android on my HD2. I was searching and testing many ROMS but I didn´t find any rom which is usable for me. I would like to have a ROM that is without Sense, has Multilanguage support and is on Android 2.2 version.
So I decided that I would make my own.
0) I was reading
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10291851&postcount=1
and made this procedure.
1)downloaded some ROM from here
2)unpacked this rom in linux with :
Code:
unyaffs system.img
then I got this directories:
Code:
app bin build.prop etc fonts framework lib media usr xbin
3)I downloaded update-cm-6.1.1-N1-signed.zip from CyanogenMod Forum > Downloads > Stable Mod > Nexus One and unpacked. I got : META-INF system boot.img.
4)I copied everything what was described step 0 from directories from step 2 to directory system from step 3
5)I downloaded and copied build.prop from step 0 to system
6) I updated permition like it is described in step 0
7) I created system.img with command : mkyaffs2image . ../system.img
Then I copied this system.img from linux to my windows and put this file in directory in which was different NAND rom. (replaced system.img). After that I flashed my phone and it did not work. Screen was frozen after booting and only green HTC was on display.
Can somebody please help me and give me some advice or some small howto. Does anybody know what can be wrong?
Thank you
Michal Fichtner

I appreciate the guide but damn that is hard to read. It really needs some sort of structure to it, titling proper paragraphs etc.

[Q] Checking Md5 sums

I'm a noob when it comes to Linux and it's commands and I'm currently dual booting with ubuntu (windows installer) and when it says check md5 sums to see if they match i have no idea, how am i suppose to find the md5 sum for my phone because i have no idea. Detailed instructions is greatly appreciated. My phone is currently rooted running oxygen RC 7 s-off stock table.
Thanks,
Ryan

Why would you want to find the md5 of the phone? Since your S-off and running oxygen I'm gone guess you want to change hboot, just download the hboot image, then open a terminal and type "md5sum "with the space, and drag and drop your hboot image in to the terminal window. It might add " to the location of the hboot image so remove those.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

You need to check the md5 of the file you've downloaded to make sure it matches the original file on the website. Google it and you'll find some freeware programs that will do the job
md5 is nothing to do with your phone

Let me google that for you.

yeah GOOGLE is your friend

Command name is 'md5sum'. This utility usually comes built-in with linux (most distros should have this..). Go to a terminal and type in:
'md5sum <filename>'
Replace <filename> with the file you want to check and make sure you are in the directory which holds that file.
EDIT: I'm not sure what you meant when you said "find the MD5 sum of my phone"...this is the only way I know of for checking MD5 sums.

In very simple terms:
MD5 provides a checksum for an arbitary file. It's just a string of characters like a long PIN code.
You can use it to guarantee that the file that's been downloaded is identical to the original, i.e. not corrupted on the way. So for any file that has an associated MD5 sum. You download the file and run a MD5 utility on that file on your system and check the MD5 value output against the original one.
There are many other checksum utilities available but MD5 is the one most used currently.

[APP] [UPDATED 9/27/2011]V1.9 Working App to Backup Windows Phone 7 via ZUNE ANY TIME

I have written a .Net app for backing up windows phone 7 via the Zune updater tool. This backup can be used by Zune to restore the device when you use the "Update" option under settings.
This is a COMPLETE backup and COMPLETE restore IF USING ZUNE 4.7AND/OR the V1.9 Tool. Your phone will be EXACTLY the same after a restore as it was when you did the backup. Any updates, file changes, registry entries, or texts will not persist that were not on the phone at the time of the backup. Sorry for the bold but I have answered this question about a dozen times in PM's or on here.
Use this at YOUR discretion. There are scenarios in which you can't use the backup you made to restore. For instance on my Samsung Focus I had the stock ROM on it and couldn’t' restore my 7720 Mango backup. I had to upgrade the phone to at least 7712 Mango BEFORE the backup would restore. But I could go from 7720 to stock. When it failed I was getting a "Version Mismatch" error. Make sure you can at least get back to the REV level you backed up from before expecting this to work or you may be sorry. Finally, NEVER trust a backup that does not say it completed properly INCLUDING a SUCCESS message!!. I also HIGHLY recommend having a stock ROM on hand to flash back to the device if necessary.
HD2 owners: See Post 2 in this thread
**New features:
Manage backups/archives. Set Paths to zune and updatewp as well as the PKS file.
Archive capability of the older backups AND restore of active backup or archives.
Will Install Support Tools and PKS file if needed.
Version 1.8 will seem quite different if you are on Vista/7 with UAC and not running as a full admin. The reason is that you can't change registry entries in HKLM or move files in program files without those rights. If you werent running as a full admin before you may have trouble if you start now. Just answer the UAC prompts when a backup starts and ends to change the files/reg entries to 4.7 and back to 4.8 values/files. I tried to consider lots of conditions like what if it fails during the backup or crashes so if you launch the app after a crash it will detect that that the changed reg entries are in place and undo them to get you back to where you were prior to the last run. The UAC prompts are there to protect you so don't get mad at me when you see 2 each time you use this to backup. If you need ZuneWMDU.DLL from 4.7 check these posts attachments:
Click here for x86 (32 BIT) os's
or Click here for x64 (64 bit) os's
You can put it with the back tool or anywhere and the program will ask you where it is and you can tell it. You can even rename it to something else. For instance I have it in my Zune folder named Zunewmdu.dll.47. Just don't replace the original 4.8 Zunewmdu.dll file.
Firstly I have to credit this to reading and putting together pieces from several threads on XDA. I read so many to be honest I am no longer sure who all to credit. There was no specific single source I just saw several things and through trial and error put together the pieces that made this possible.
This APP is a wrapper around a tool microsoft produced to perform updates to your phone via command line. Specifically the executeable "updatewp.exe" that comes from the Windows Phone Support Tools. The missing piece that eluded me for a bit was the update package itself which I found here on XDA and will link to later.
Prerequisites that need to be Installed/downloaded:
Looks like at least Phone OS version 7008 is required for the backup to work.
Zune Software Installed (I'm sure most of us have this): http://www.zune.net/en-us/products/software/download/default.htm
Windows Phone Support Tools Installed - MS Links are dead ATM.
If you are missing these prerequisites the app will tell you and even open a web page on request to the DL links.
If an error occurs you should find the text in your clipboard for easy pasting here on the forums.
To explain the process:
updatewp.exe is meant to update your phone with PKS files theoretically obtained from the device manufacturer. It will also do other things including a command line restore of a backup.
This program launches updatewp.exe with two command line arguments. One is the PKS file name and path and the second is the enablebackup switch.
What happens is the phone performs the backup first, once it completes the process the code terminates updatewp.exe before it goes further. In theory if you are using an update not compatible for your phone it would actually just say that and quit. However terminating the updater keeps it from ever getting that far.
I have used this to make a complete backup AND restore it via the ZUNE Update options under settings for my phone so I know it works.
How to use the app:
Attached to this post is a zip file with two folders. x86 and x64. Please launch the appropriate EXE for your platform.
If you do not have zune or windows phone support tools it will tell you immediately and offer to open the download URL on your computer.
If you pass those tests you will need to input a path to the PKS file in the long textbox. There is a button just above it that will open a URL to the download for the one I used here on XDA. There is also a Browse button below the textbox for you to use to browse to and set the file path via GUI.
Once the path is set click on backup and watch it go. If you already have a backup made previously this will overwrite it or offer to archive it (v1.2 & up).
Good luck and post feedback, thoughts or issues please.
Changelog:
v1.9 - I pulled 1.8 and have added 1.9. This version corrects some more bugs in 1.8, one of which doesnt show the completed success message when performing a backup. The first time you launch it you will see a prompt stating this is the first time you have launched this version and you need to choose if you want to use the 4.7WMDU file switching method or just have the program try to use what you have installed. If you choose not to use the file switching method it will still check to make sure the zune and updatewp versions match but will only warn you they don't match, you can still try to proceed with the backup/restore. I have tested this in both modes doing backups and restores (this is why it took so long to get out).
v1.8 - I changed the way the program does things so that it will use the ZuneWMDU.DLL file from Zune 4.7 to perform FULL backups. You CAN'T use the tool without that file and I am not going to include it because I am not going to redistribute Microsofts property. If you are using Vista/7 with UAC you will be seeing some extra prompts because elevation is required to change reg entries and move files around to allow you to use this with the newest Zune 4.8 and still get a complete backup. To get the older ZuneWMDU.DLL file just get it from the install path of zune and then uprade to 4.8. The program will ask you for the path to the old DLL for future use/reference. Don't get pissed at me with all the UAC prompts either, they are required if you arent a full admin on the machine. I re-released 1.8 on 9/16 to fix a few minor bugs that kept it from working correctly under certain cirumstances.
v1.7 -PULLED because the backups Zune 4.8 Makes are utterly USELESS. 1.8 is in the works that will make use of the old updatewp and some old zune 4.7 files to perform COMPLETE backup and restores as it originally did.
v1.6 - Added the ability to set all of the paths (requested by folks using languages other than english). Added some management capabilities for the backups. To archive the active one immediately or move an archived backup to the active folder.
v1.5 - This only adds proper path support for windows XP. If you are using the 1.4 version and don't have XP then there is no need to upgrade.
v1.4 - Works with Mango Beta if you have updated Zune assuming you have also updated the 4.8 support tools. It will check the versions and inform you of any issues found. Also corrected the blank error message issue some users were seeing. 4.8 support tools, check the second D/L (non) link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148123
v1.3 - Changed the path used for backup location to the LOCALAPPDATA environment variable rather than USERPROFILE to be more compatible with XP. If you don't have the windows phone backup tools installed the software will offer to DL and install them silently for you. The PKS file is now packed in with the software. If you don't have a PKS file set it will offer to unpack it and use it by default. I didnt add ZUNE install to this because well, if you don't have that your not really using your phone are you?
v1.2 - Added archive capabilities. If you choose to backup your device and a backup is in place you are asked if you want to archive it. If you choose to keep it then a folder in your documents called "Windows Phone 7 Zune Backup Archive" is where it goes. Each backup will go in to a folder labeled by the date/time it was created. The format will be Month-Day-Year Hour-Minute-Second so you know exactly from WHEN the backup was from.
Added a Restore Button that will use the latest restore if that is all you have, or ask if you want to browse and choose from the archived backups to restore. Whichever you choose will become the "Active" backup to zune and then the restore will take place afterwards. The former active backup is automatically placed in the archive. When the restore is completed the SAME backup you chose is still the active one so using ZUNE to do the restore will yield the same result.
***IF you have multiple devices the archive portion will work fine, however I have yet to find a way to identify which ID is which device so when you choose to restore from an archive YOU will have to pick the correct one or it won't work.
v1.1 - Updated where the code looks for the windows phone tools to accomidate installs of zune to alternate locations.
In Development:
Determine the device ID of the connected phone so I can keep multi device backup archives straight when presenting which backups from an archive to restore. I don't have two devices so this will be a feature in beta until it is proven by your feedback.

Error Code Troubleshooting:
Firstly, if you want help in this thread PLEASE tell us what your Computer OS is including if its 32/64 bit. What OS revision your phone is at and What kind of phone along with details of the problem! Thanks!
I found this link to MS for different error codes and a solution grid of sorts that relates to ZUNE etc..:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2484484#80072EE7_801812DD_801811C5
This is a COMPLETE backup and COMPLETE restore IF USING ZUNE 4.7!!. Your phone will be EXACTLY the same after a restore as it was when you did the backup. Any updates, file changes, registry entries, or texts will not persist that were not on the phone at the time of the backup. Sorry for the bold but I have answered this question about a dozen times in PM's or on here.
ZUNE 4.8 seems to only backup whatever Zune does not synch and things like game states! I HIGHLY recommend reverting to 4.7 zune and phone tools if you want a COMPLETE backup. Zune 4.7 cant talk to Mango but it doesnt need to for a backup. A Complete backup made by 4.7 tools WILL restore with 4.8 tools.
Known Issues:
HD2 owners. There seems to be a problem using this method to backup the phone. The current theory is that the HD2 does not use the same boot loader as other WP7 devices and is not recognized correctly in that mode so it doesnt work. I would be interested in knowing how your updates are applied as the log I got from one user indicates the phone talked to the update program once it rebooted?!
Additional tips and observances:
*You CAN'T change the memory size and perform a restore, I already know this doesnt work so forget about adding memory and just restoring
*To my knowledge you can't backup from one device and restore to another as the backup files are signed/ID'd to the device that made the backup.
How to restore a backup via ZUNE if you don't want to use the restore feature:
Make sure your phone is hooked up to the computer first then from within the ZUNE software you should see a menu near the top right-hand side labeled "Settings". Click on that. On the settings screen look near the top left and you should see "Software" "Device" and "Account". Instead of device it may say "Phone".
Click on Device or Phone, whichever you see. The left edge has several options. Near the middle you should see "Update". Click that. You should see a progress bar for a few seconds and then most likely it will tell you that the phone is up to date. At the BOTTOM of all the text it spits out should be a button labeled "Restore" with the date of the backup.
BACKUP CREATION LOCATION:
Copy & paste the following in to the run dialog box:
Vista/Win7: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update
Win XP: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update
If you are running the backups with elevated privileges then you need to open a command prompt with those same privileges and paste in the above paths to find them as they may likely be in a different user account.
You will have to manuall drill down from their because the sub folder structure is named from the Phones ID.
Manual Command Line Method to Perform Backup:
All the same prerequisites apply. Zune and the windows phone support tools need to be installed.
It is easiest to have unzipped the PKS file in to folder the support tools are in. You can do this by opening the run dialog and typing: %PROGRAMFILES%\zune and hit enter or click ok. This will open explorer to that folder and you can move/copy the UNZIPPED PKS file there.
Open a command window with admin privileges. To do this in windows Vista/Win 7 with UAC enabled click on the "Start" Windows logo usually found in the bottom left corner.
In the search programs and files dialog type CMD and wait for the search to produce CMD.EXE at or near the top of the list. RIGHT click on cmd.exe and choose "Run as administrator". (hopefully you don't have to input admin credentials to do this)
At the command prompt type: cd %PROGRAMFILES%\zune (and hit enter). Your prompt should change to include the program files path and ZUNE for example "c:\progam files\zune"
Now assuming the support tools are installed correctly you can test by typing: updatewp (and hit enter) this should spam the screen with the command line options for updatewp and lets us know the rest will work.
The command to type is: updatewp.exe /iu A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks /enablebackup (and hit enter) You should be able to copy the command line as it is and right click on the DOS window at this point and choose "Paste" to save the trouble of typing that awefull string.
This is all the program I wrote does to start a backup other than kill the update process at the end since it can't happen.
I hope this works for you if the code does not!

Great!! thanks , will try .

The system cannot find the file specified
What precedes this section of the file path? and is it the same path on Windows 7?
/Library/Application Support/Windows Phone 7 Connector/Cache/Device Update/

Looks like your trying it on a Mac? Not gonna work
You can do it manually. Double check the updatewp.exe command line for a mac and if its the same as a PC then run it updatewp.exe PKSFILEPATH /enablebackup

I'm not. i'm on PC.

Where do i place the file from this page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11542700&postcount=6

I put it in the Zune folder and then my command line was:
updatewp.exe /iu "C:\Program Files\Zune\A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks" /enablebackup
open cmd.exe to the dos prompt and change to the ZUNE folder and then type or copy & paste in the above.
Perhaps I didnt specify this but you will need to unzip that file from the other post.

Sorry, but I'm not quite sure what you mean :-/
I unzipped the "A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks" file
Then, I placed it in the zune folder: C:\Program Files\Zune\
Now I have cmd open, but I don't know what you mean by "change to the ZUNE folder and then type or copy & paste in the above."
What do I change about the Zune folder? and what am I typing into the cmd promt?

when I say change to the zune folder I mean change the current folder the command prompt is at by typing this:
cd c:\program files\zune and press enter
copy the following text in to the clipboard:
updatewp.exe /iu "C:\Program Files\Zune\A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks" /enablebackup
Then right click on the command box and choose paste and hit enter.
OR just type the above text in to the command box and hit enter.

Well, I got a little further, but I get this message in the cmd:
c:\Program Files\Zune>updatewp.exe "C:\Program Files\Zune\A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks" /enablebackup
'updatewp.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

There was a prerequisite you needed that I listed. It is the windows phone support tools:
Windows Phone Support Tools:
x64 Windows: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...Tool-amd64.msi
x86 Windows: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...rtTool-x86.msi
updatewp.exe comes from that and is installed in to the zune folder when you install those tools.

Nice. Got the backup to work! Thanks for all the help. I'm going to hard reset and see if the backup works

quick question: does the backup process backup everything, including word documents?

The backup seems to backup anything on the phone.
For instance I used the reg hacks so I could see the phone in explorer. I put a couple of files in the video folder directory as a test and the phone could play them.
Further Zune ignored them and did not consider them as part of the sync process.
When I performed by backup and restore even those files were restored.
I can not speak to folders created that are not part of the normal hierarchy but I suspect that anything on the phone is backed up.
Adding:
I should stress again that this is the same backup that zune performs when you update your device with the update tool. This is just using one of the support tools that offers command line to trigger the backup when you have a legitimate update file. In this case however the program I wrote is terminating the update before it can begin once the backup is performed. So in other words I am just "tricking" the update program in to running and performig the backup.

Mallux,
I just figured out why you were getting that error.
The code checks for the existance of zune and then the support tools specifically by checking for the existance of the files.
The checks do the same thing so I cut & paste the zune check code in for the support tools and didnt change the path to check for updatewp.exe. So basically the code checked for zune twice and then went on.
I fixed the code and updated the DL link in the first post.
Im sure now that you have the support tools installed the code would work as written, or with the new DL link.

Hi and congrats for your work (if it works ? hehe, just kidding).
Maybe you would have better feedback in posting this to the dev and hacking section or the software one ?
Just a thought, since here are mostly apps for the phone itself.
Best regards
Andy

[APP] Working App to Backup Windows Phone 7 via ZUNE ANY TIME
I posted this in windows phone 7 apps and it was suggested that I post it here so don't hammer me for cross posting please.
I have written a .Net app for backing up windows phone 7 via the Zune updater tool. This backup can be used by Zune to restore the device when you use the "Update" option under settings.
Firstly I have to credit this to reading and putting together pieces from several threads on XDA. I read so many to be honest I am no longer sure who all to credit. There was no specific single source I just saw several things and through trial and error put together the pieces that made this possible.
This APP is a wrapper around a tool microsoft produced to perform updates to your phone via command line. Specifically the executeable "updatewp.exe" that comes from the Windows Phone Support Tools. The missing piece that eluded me for a bit was the update package itself which I found here on XDA and will link to later.
Prerequisites that need to installed/downloaded:
Zune Software Installed: http://www.zune.net/en-us/products/software/download/default.htm
Windows Phone Support Tools Installed:
x64 Windows: http://download.microsoft.com/downl...E4A-8179-9A3C5483E366/WPSupportTool-amd64.msi
x86: http://download.microsoft.com/downl...-4E4A-8179-9A3C5483E366/WPSupportTool-x86.msi
An update package from ANY phone, this one is for an HD2 that I used while working on a samsung focus. Download and Unzip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11542700&postcount=6
If you are missing these prerequisites the app will tell you and even open a web page on request to the DL links.
Please understand this is release 1.0 and as such may have issues depending on your platform and your computer etc.... I coded it for x86 and x64 Windows with the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 minimum. I tried to consider several error scenarios but one never knows how an end user might use your program that wasnt anticipated and coded for.
If an error occurs you should find the text in your clipboard for easy pasting here on the forums.
To explain the process:
updatewp.exe is meant to update your phone with PKS files theoretically obtained from the device manufacturer. It will also do other things including a command line restore of a backup.
This program launches updatewp.exe with two command line arguments. One is the PKS file name and path and the second is the enablebackup switch.
What happens is the phone performs the backup first, once it completes the process the code terminates updatewp.exe before it goes further. In theory if you are using an update not compatible for your phone it would actually just say that and quit. However terminating the updater keeps it from ever getting that far.
I have used this to make a complete backup AND restore it via the ZUNE Update options under settings for my phone so I know it works.
One could most likely also archive backups by copying/moving from their storage point before creating a new one so as to have a backup that could be reverted to from a point in time further than the last one on record. If there is enough interest in such a feature and incentive I would consider adding it here.
Attached to this post is a zip file with two folders. x86 and x64. Please launch the appropriate EXE for your platform.
If you do not have zune or windows phone support tools it will tell you immediately and offer to open the download URL on your computer.
If you pass those tests you will need to input a path to the PKS file in the long textbox. There is a button just above it that will open a URL to the download for the one I used here on XDA. There is also a Browse button below the textbox for you to use to browse to and set the file path via GUI.
Once the path is set click on backup and watch it go. If you already have a backup made previously this will overwrite it.
I can not say if this will work with a debranded phone but I don't see why not. My focus is an out of the box stock AT&T phone with chevron unlock on it (which you shouldnt need) and a couple of non-marketplace apps.
Good luck and post feedback, thoughts or issues please.
***Adding Instructions on how to restore as its come up a few times:
Make sure your phone is hooked up to the computer first then from within the ZUNE software you should see a menu near the top right-hand side labeled "Settings". Click on that. On the settings screen look near the top left and you should see "Software" "Device" and "Account". Instead of device it may say "Phone".
Click on Device or Phone, whichever you see. The left edge has several options. Near the middle you should see "Update". Click that. You should see a progress bar for a few seconds and then most likely it will tell you that the phone is up to date. At the BOTTOM of all the text it spits out should be a button labeled "Restore" with the date of the backup.
You CAN'T change the memory size and perform a restore, I already know this doesnt work.

Ok first off all, I have to thanks for you for your hard work! The tool just worked like a charm. I just used the back-up tool and it succeeded made a backup of my Omnia 7. I'm just wondering a few things:
Is my phone identical the same if I use the backup tool? That means the register changes and installed apps??

I have used the zune update - Restore function and everything was the same. I have several xbox live games and after the restore I was still at the same place in my games. Further my phone is chevron unlocked and remained so after the restore.
Further, I did the reg hacks to see the phone in explorer when zune is closed and put a couple of small vid files in the video folder. Those files did not show up in Zune on my PC or in my collections but the phone could play them just fine. After the restore they were still there too. So from what I can tell the une backup tool backs up the phones memory as it is no matter what is there. I have not tested non-standard folders that are user created though but would assume they would work all the same.
Further a couple of observations:
During development I found I could unplug the phone at any time during the backup process and it would be just fine. No harm.
In Zune when the phone is hooked up I could see the "memory graph" and it had slices in it and hovering over them with the mouse would yield what each slice was... e.g. Videos, Music, pictures etc... I had a large area that said it was reserved for data "from another computer" or some such verbiage. After the restore that was gone and I had a little more memory back for my own use. The slices seemed to be gone too but had no effect on what zune synched etc... Perhaps a full resynch might change it but I havent done that.
**Adding:
Having re-read your post I am now wondering if you are asking if your phone is the same as after the backup as it was prior to the backup? It should be unchanged. The backup process is the same that would occur if you were performing a legitimate carrier update. The process says it transfers the update to the phone but does not execute it until after the backup. My code terminates the updatewp.exe program before that happens so ultimately you might have the 310k file still on your phone in some "updates" folder somewhere.

[MOD] OLD VERSION HULU MOD Automatic Hex Editing Script

OLD VERSION
NEW VERSION FOLLOW LINK BELOW
CLICK HERE for Updated Post and Application
==========OLD INFO BELOW THIS LINE===========================
Im leaving the old info here for reference and in case anyone still wishes to continue to use this version. The new version is beter in every way IMO. But the choice is yours.
===============================
FLASHEX and FLASHMOD script INFO 0.98beta
===============================
This is a new set of scripts I created, Flashex.sh and Flashmod.sh. They take advantage of the same old AND to WIN hex edit. The big difference is Flashex.sh will hex edit the file right on any android device that has busybox installed. I have only been able to test it on my 1 Android device the A100 works perfectly on it. I'm curious if anyone can run it on current rooted ICS since it only requires WRITE to /data, I'm fairly sure it will work just fine, and/or on other devices with flash and a decent enough CPU and memory to watch hulu.
What they do
==========
Flashex.sh will look at /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so, find its version string, then make a copy of the file and hex edit the copy. It DOESNT require root since it only needs READ access. Flashex.sh only needs to be run once unless you delete the WIN_libflashplayer.so or your Flash Player gets an update.
Flashmod.sh will look for the WIN_libflashplayer.so(hex edited file), check for write access, then copy the file to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so.
They can both be run from Terminal, Script Manager, etc. I suggest Setting Flashmod.sh up with a Desktop Icon via Script Manager for an easy way to apply the fix before watching Hulu.
How To Install and Use
======================
1) Create a directory you want to run the script from. I suggest
/mnt/external_sd/FLASHEX but it can be anyplace as long as you
can find, and run the scripts.
2) Download FLASHEX_098b.tar.gz and place it inside the folder
3) cd into the directory
cd /pathtofolder/foldername (note: typically /mnt/external_sd/FLASHEX or /mnt/sdcard/FLASHEX)
4) run the following commands to extract Flashex.sh and Flashmod.sh
gzip -d FLASHEX_098b.tar.gz
tar -xvf FLASHEX_098b.tar.gz
5) Now "sh Flashex.sh" this will READ the original flash file, and hex edit the file.
it will place the edited file inside the default(same folder as script) directory.
The Edited file is named "WIN_libflashplayer.so"
6) Now "su" because Flashmod.sh will need root access to overwrite
/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so with the edited version
7) Now "sh Flashmod.sh" This script will find WIN_libflashplayer.so and copy it to
/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
Note: You will also see "ORIG_libflashplayer.so" that is a backup of the original
that is made before the change. It can be used to restore in the even someone
edits and decides they want to go back, or in case of an unforseen event.
8) Now just make sure your web browser is set to view as "Desktop" and enjoy watching hulu.
That's about it. IF you have run Flashex.sh once you
DON'T need to run it again UNLESS you get a Flash
update, or you delete the WIN_libflashplayer.so.
If your Adobe Flash updates on you just rerun Flashex.sh
to edit the new file. Once edited it will store a copy of
the modded file the scripts home dir.
Then use as Flashmod.sh as normal.
THANKS TO:
===========
All the other people who make GNU open source
programs, the people who figured out how to get hulu to work
by hex editing the libflashplayer.so, and all the great folks
at XDA Developers for providing so much good information,
and for all the hard work to figure out root methods,
and all the other amazing stuff that goes on.
=========================================================
TESTING INFO FOR OTHER DEVICES
This should work on most any android flash in theory but that's UN-tested.
I wrote it to try and look for the same expected pattern for 10.x 11.x and even
12.x(taking a guess). It HAS been tested with Flash 11.x and works
great. It's written in such a way it should be safe to test. Either the Flashex.sh script will give you a properly edited libflashplayer.so or it should be able to tell you it couldnt edit the file. If you end up with an edited file it should be safe to copy over and should work. If you find it DOESN'T work with your version of flash you may contact me and make the .so file available and I will see if I can add support. Eventually I would like this to be universal and easy to use.
ALSO PLEASE!
If it does work for you, especially on other devices or other flash versions please post and let me know. It will help me improve the set of scripts.

Got it working on ICS took me abit of reading on google on how to cd to the directory but alls well that ends well!

You need to create a folder for the script still. It looks like you currently have the scripts located in /mnt/sdcard. You would need to make a folder called FLASHEX still inside /mnt/sdcard/ or /mnt/external_sd/ so the full path would be /mnt/external_sd/FLASHEX or /mnt/sdcard/FLASHEX. If you change the folder name you "may" have to edit the script. I will be releaseing an update soon and I will include a little more testing of that. It was an afterthought and was just added to help make it easier for people. Anyway try this...
First make a folder.
"mkdir /mnt/external_sd/FLASHEX"
Now move the 2 scripts into that folder from the current location
"mv /mnt/sdcard/Flashex.sh /mnt/external_sd/FLASHEX/Flashex.sh"
"mv /mnt/sdcard/Flashex.sh /mnt/external_sd/FLASHEX/Flashmod.sh"
Now you can run them
This will run the script once moved
"sh /mnt/external_sd/FLASHEX/Flashex.sh"
Now you should have WIN_libflashplayer.so inside the FLASHEX folder.
Next run
"su"
"sh /mnt/external_sd/FLASHEX/Flashmod.sh"
I suggest running this via script manager once you decide you like using it. I have mine setup to run at boot. Just be sure and turn off auto update for adobe flashplayer if you run Flashmod.sh at boot. The next version Im thinking about adding the ability to have it run the hex edit each time it detects an updated version. We will see. My main concern with that would be the amount of time the hex edit takes.
Anyway that should get you going on the Hulu. Remember to set your browser to "Desktop" too or it still wont work. I suggest Dolphin HD for a browser.
Let me know if you have any more issues and check back for an updated version in the next few days.

After looking at your output a little closer. I noticed it did seem to create a cache folder inside your /mnt/sdcard. Can you confirm the existence of a cache folder at /mnt/sdcard/cache? Also did you edit the script or did you change the type of quotes around the strings used by grep? I'm going to do some testing and it would speed things up if I knew those two things.
The above(previous post) directions still apply and should work. However if the script has been edited even just a change from " to ' could break it so be careful.
If your not used to scripting I would not advise you change anything other then the HEXHOME="/mnt/external_sd/FLASHEX" inside the script, and don't change anything left of the = or change the " type. Only edit the directory path/name.

I just tried this and got the same error as above. I did notice that it created the cache folder in the same directory though. It just can't determined what the library file is.
Current flash player version is: 11.1.115.7 March 5, 2012
Edit: Here is the libflashplayer.so file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24495685/libflashplayer.so
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium HD app

does this works in ICS?
Update:
Yes it does.
But,,, the script gave me an error about "uncommon string' on line 228,, any ways what I did was just to open adb and run all commands in the script one by one. I copy the edited lib.so to the flash folder , restarted, watching hulu now.
Thanks for this.

Cool. Not sure what the error was(without a way to recreate it) but, I have a new version coming out in a few days that will work better. I will post it over in the app section so I can get more feedback posts and just link it back to here.
It's a single script solution that will do the hex edit when it detects an upgrade or downgrade of Flash to update the edited copy and write it over each boot. That way people don't have to worry about updates and such.
If I can find the time I'm going to upgrade to ICS this weekend. I haven't had time to do much the last few weeks and need my tablet so I have been waiting. I need to read up on the latest. It looks like we even have CWM now OMG! Nice work!
Once I'm running ICS I can test on it and make sure it's working on both.

That's very odd. My current version is 11.1.111.7. I will take a look at it in a few. For me so far I have seen 11.1.111.5-11.1.111.7 and all worked fine on my acer. I'm posting a new version that may already address the issue you are having. I will do some tests with the file you attached to see this evening.
Also might not be a bad idea to confirm the path for the libflashplayer.so is the same as the script is expecting. I havnt added anything in to search the system for alternate flash locations yet. It can be configured at the top of the script though.
I have also found some people are using an older BusyBox that seems to be mission a feature. Im using busybox v1.19.3 latest is 1.19.4 the installer I use is the one from JRummy. It's not a bad idea to confirm which Busybox you have if you run into issues with odd errors.

Looking at this right now. I will need to modify the pattern a little to make it work on this lib version. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll PM you when I update with support for that version.
EDIT: New improved version here

[REF][GUIDE]CWM md5 mismatch problem solved

So, many of you probably faced the issue, when you tried to restore your CWM backup, that the recovery says MD5 mistmach, and will do nothing. The problem is now solved, and was solved, so I'm not the one, who made thing possible, I'm just porting this to the V.
So, the problem (in my iterations at least) are based on the /cache/ cannot be mounted error, which is common in the V. For why is that, I simply don't have a clue, but it is present. Because of this, the backup won't be full, and thus, the md5 image won't be made for the recovery, so cannot be recovered as is.
But happily you can make an md5 image from the backup yourself, and thus recover your backup.

There are three ways for you, to make an md5 sum of the img files, the good and the bad one and also the quoted one:
One (the good)
For this, you will need adb, root, and a working android. Yo don't have it? Here you go.
Go to the directory, were you have adb (or have extracted adb.exe, suggested c:\htc\), then plug in your phone (just for charge, no data connection), open terminal (syntax: cmd) then type in:
adb shell
this will get you to the phone's terminal
if you have # at the end of the line, you are good to go, if not, then type su
The syntaxes needed:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/{recovery_timestamped_directory} <- this is from your backup, so you need to fill in appropirate data
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will make an md5 image with the name that cwm acknowledges.
Two (the bad one)
So, you'we fired your ROM, cannot even boot, but cwm comes in. Than this is for you. There are programs (e.g. total commander) which can make md5 images. So if you have your backup folder, just go into it (sd card reader is preferred). You will see something like this in it:
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
data.ext4.tar
{nandroid.md5}
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar

sidenote:
If you have the nandroid.md5 and you cannot recover, don't try to recover from it!!!
The image itself is corrup, you have no luck, try RUU. (you can recover if you delete the md5 and create a new, but it is not really recommended)
1.
So, there are 2 .img files, highlight them in totalcommander. go to file->create checksum files
2.
tick in md5, then ok
3.
No, you're not done
open the md5 file in text editor, and remove the * 's from before the file names.
4.
Rename the file to nandroid.md5
5.
Now you're done, go to cwm, then recover.
Three (the quoted one)
Also on the 2nd page you will find an alternative solution for the problem which can help you if you have got busybox installed on your device.
The solution resembles the One type of fix, so with quotes here's the one (thanx for Meeshka for it).

if you send me the 2 img files i can create an appropirate md5 image of them, but send the one you did, so I can guess what the problem is.
send them to the email of my usr here, or in pm. and mainly, the md5 image has the name "nandroid.md5" like small caption all the way, even the md5? If it is there where it must, it must work, ad absurd it will be "wrong checksum error", but that is another version.
General android section has this, I have learned this from there, but it had only 1st option, and was "discovered" when cwm had generated wrong md5s, the V, in the V the problem is a tad bit different, but the solution is the same.

I fixed it in adb

Just created an md5sum manualy from the img files with the name of nandroid.md5, because on the V the recovery doesn't creates them because of cache mount problem.
The recovery process will end in an error message, because cache cannot be recovered, but the main thing will be recovered this way.

You do know that the first method is exactly like the one you linked right?
Aside that, I'm happy that the community could help you out

Thank you so much. You saved my phone.

For those who keep getting "md5sum not found" both in adb and in android terminql on device:
try instead
# busybox md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
worked for me

no * 's

I have done the thing with a legacy tcmd, so there is a probability, that they have modified the md5sum algorithm, so if you don't se the stars don't panic. (also it should do the trick even with stars in the file, but wanted to be sure at the time I wrote the post)

plz provide touch recovery for karbon a9+ plz and ther is bugs in cwm recovery 5.0.2.8 plz
