[Q] Installing Android on Tilt 8925 Micro sd card Problems - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development

Hi, I have been trying to install android on the micro sd card in my tilt 8925. First it would freeze on haret, then I was able to get it to the middle of the boot process before it would freeze, with all freezes I would have to take out the battery. If somebody could point me to the right directions and files for doing this then mabey it would work, because I am not convinced that i am doing it correctly. I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could give me some help with this. Thanks

What did you do exactly to install android?
Wich things flashed, wich folders and files on SDCard?

Upgrade to 8gb card

Guess the answer is somewhere, perhaps someone can point me in the right direction, how do you upgrade an Orbit to take an 8gb memory card? Thanks.
Get the SDHC patch, install it, soft reset and then insert the card. If you use the search function or look through the first two or three pages of the Artemis sub-forums you'll notice that you are not the first that asked this question
Flashed mine with Meschle Touch flash and bought an 8 GB Sandisk microSD, working perfectly.
I bought a Sandisk 8gb MICROSDHC card for my phone but the phone refuses to work with it. I've tried flasing my Orbit today which is on WM5 btw with the SDHC_WM6WM5.zip from this web-site but I'm having no luck. I can run the two cab files which look like there doing something, I then reboot the phone but still the phone does not see the memory card. The Windows folder within the SDHC_WM6WM5.zip has two files in there one called sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll. According the the txt file within the zip file I am supposed to extract both the files to my windows directory on the main memory of the phone but unfortunately I cannot because on one of the files the SDBUS.DLL it complains of it being used by the system. I've tried reboots on the phone, factory defaulted it back, safe mode (kicking it), but still no joy.
PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP!!
Use this file: http://members.cable24.at/immogroup/HTC-P3300/SDHC-Artemis.cab and then soft reset.
If you ever upgrade your firmware be sure to take out the SDHC card - otherwise it won't even go to bootloader correctly.
Thanks for the link Registerme it's all sorted now.

Newbie question about installing Artemis Touch 4.01

Hi there,I have an xda orbit and would like to install Artemis Touch 4.01. I have recently updated from wm5 to wm6. I have a 2gb micro sd card and I'm getting a little confused about the first step in the installation process "1. Copy SDConfig.txt to root of storage card (omit this step if you have a SDHC card)" Is this a path on my phone? And if so how and where do i locate it in my directory to copy it to my micro sd card? Also do I then remove the micro sd card as suggested in the second step (as I dont believe my sd card is of the sdhc type)? And finally I havent previously cid unlocked my device, does step one for process three unlock my device such as the process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403? Sorry for my newbie questions but any help would be much appreciated and hopefully make it clear for any others that may be confused!
Many Thanks!

As I understand it, SDConfig.txt is used for user customisation i.e. if you want some programs installed at the end of the flashing process (If I'm mistaken then I'm sure someone will correct me). I've flashed my device without this and all is well.
Step 1 does indeed do the CID unlocking. Once you device reboot after this process watch the screen to ensure SPL is 1.11.... If that is the case go to step 2.
Also, remember to back up everything you need to keep with PPCPimBackup or something because you will lose everything from main memory.
Finally, you don't need to remove the 2Gig card,

Some Newb Questions

Okay first off im gana start off saying sorry im a complete newb and jsut got my first WM phone the other day i got the Verizon VX6900 and i wana upgrade to WM 6.5. Ive read over cody bear's FAQ for NFSFAN's rom several times and although im kinda scared to screw it up hopefully i wont brick my fone. my first question is i know you suppose to upgrade you radio first but especially since mine is 1.60.30 no where near 3.42.50. So can someone point me to a how to do it and do i have to get a verizon one because i saw a file to upgrade for Bell's radio and im not sure if thats the same.
Also can everyone put my fears to rest that im gana destroy my fone when i reflash it. It dosnt seem that hard im just kinda nervous.
Sorry again for being newb and making a thread there is just so much information and its hard to figure it all out without someone guiding you in the right direction
First you need to unlock your phone using the cokeman unlocker.
From there, if you have the SD card that came with your phone (the 512MB one). YOu can download a radio upgrade that changes nothing but the radio on your phone. This is a good idea as verizon can be tricky.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=389964&postcount=8
That file has the radio flash in it.
So to install it, you first make sure your phone is unlocked. Then copy the file from inside that zip to the SD CARD (note: the sd card must be formatted FAT32). Then enter bootloader mode by pressing holding down the power and camera buttons while pressing the reset button with the stylus. Do not have a USB cable plugged in. WHen the boot loader loads up it should be a tricolor screen that says COkeman unlocker or bootloader ver 2.41 or something like that. It will say serial at the bottom and after a few seconds ask you if you want to install the rom. If it asks you to confirm do what it says to confirm. IT shoudl flash then restart. When it restarts check the red text at the bottom and see if it says 3.42.50 next to r. If so you properly flashed your radio.
From there you can install ANY upgaded rom you like.
okay thanks i dont have the 512mb sd card i only have a 2gb sd card will that work?
As long as it is a regular microSD, not microSDHC. It should say so on the card. Mine 8GB card says microSDHC on the card itself. More than likely the card is standard SD (as I think SDHC doesn't start until 4GB).
So the requirements for flashing from the card are:
I think you need to have the device unlocked
microSD Card (NOT microSDHC)
Card has to be formatted FAT32
The file must be named VOGUIMG.nbh
No USB cables plugged in.
ok so im getting a little nervous i unlocked it and then flashed the radio update and it installed and says update complete update success but its not restarting do i have to restart it. did i just brick my phone?
Hard reset it yourself.
well i managed to get it to work and installed NFSFANs 6.5 rom and it runs amazing. i installed the vzw mms cab but i still cant get my MMS to work

thanks man got mms working now just gata start working on the GPS. hrm just wondering if anyone else has this problem sometimes when i accidently click the persons name in the SMS thread the fone just freezes
Sorry, I'm another noob when it comes to flashing roms as well. Once you flash from the microsd, will the new rom be compatible with a microsdhc after its upgraded? Or can I only use Microsd from here on out??
Thanks for the help.
No problem. The only time you NEED a standard microsd card is when you are flashing a file to the device. To be exact, when you are upgrading the radio as all of the ones I have seen load from the microSD card, otherwise all of the custom roms can be upgraded over USB. The reason you need a standard microSD card to flash from the SD Card is that microSDHC requires a specific driver to be loaded and at the bootloader point that driver has not been loaded. This means at the boot loader point, the port can only funciton as a microSD port. Once the OS has loaded, the driver has been loaded as well, therefore it can read both times.

Haret wont finish loading android...

Hey everyone... I cant seem to start android. I run Haret and it does the whole text on screen thing, but it ends up with this:
[ 000.000000] Something used micropklt_lcd_ctrl. This function should no longer be used.
Now the 000.000000 within the brackets just increases. thats all it does. it continues scrolling while that number increases over and over and over very fast. (i dont know if it actually starts at 000.000000 but it increases so quickly i am just using the zeros as placeholders for the actual numbers.
Any help?
Edit/Delete Message
I get the same error. Please let me know if you get a fix.
Try reformatting and a fresh install
I have tried that already. I formatted the card completely and tried fresh. Same error. The weird thing is back in december i was able to load the 12/24 build on my phone while running NRG's rom.
I am now running Josh's Perfect 1.7 rom. Could the rom have anything to do with it?
hey im no expert, but the same thing happened to me. I realized that the start up file was not in the root of the SD card. make sure u have the STARTUP.TXT file in the root, the build i was using came with a folder designated startup configuration, and i found the rhodium file in there and copied it to the root.
Hope this helps
Thank you, but i tried that also. and the same problem still occured. I dont know what it is that i am doing wrong. :-\
Maybe this will help
I have 2 Micro SD cards and I can get Haret/Android to boot on my 2GB card but it will not boot on my 8GB card. The 8GB card has all my standard folders and files for my TP2 but the 2GB card was a fresh format with only Haret/Android on it. I loaded up the same files and folders to the root of each of the cards but only the 2GB card will fully boot. For me, this works. I just put in the 2GB card when I want to run Android.
Same thing for me. I used two different cards, the 2G SanDisk worked and 8G Kingston didn't. I bought an 8G SanDisk and now I have two "good enough to boot Android" cards.
My 8G Kingston was nothing but trouble anyway. I bought the 2G SanDisk because I couldn't flash a ROM from the Kingston (which is in my wife's phone now ).
I suggest buying a new card
Thanks, i will try another card. However i am still using the same card i used before when it loaded.
With me, Haret will just randomly lock on boot. Usually, resetting the TP2 then trying a reboot will work.
It's odd. It seems to work sometimes, then not at all.
(BTW, I'm booting off a 16GB SanDisk card)
I still get the error also. I formatted the sd card and I still get the error also. 000.000000] Something used micropklt_lcd_ctrl. This function should no longer be used.
I tried an old build and it works but I can't get the old build to work. Any ideas. This is a Tmobile Touch Pro. I updated the windows ROM to the latest offical build. I also tried it on a custom build with the same error. Any ideas?
when i run the haret program, its says that it can't open the script file. what i am doing wrong?
Newest XANDROID (XDAndroid 2.0.1 (rel 1.5).cab) clean install fixed it for me.
Well, I only had the Problem on my RAPH300. RHOS was working fine anyways.
I have a similar problem, haret runs and the normal linux startup stuff scrolls along until it does a fsck on the sd card. It stops after complaining about not finding rootfs and drops to a bash shell.
I've tried it on two different sd cards with the same result. I've formatted and reinstalled to the same effect. I've tried this with the latest and the next-to-latest xandroid cabs.
Is there something I'm missing after installing the xandroid cab? Perhaps I can pass a command-line parameter to the startup to not run a filesystem check?
Could you plz Post your STARTUP.txt? im just curious and wana try something out.
Damnit... Its still happeneing.. On the newest build (today's build)
I cant seem to get it to work...
I still have the problem also. I tested it with 3/1/2010 build. I formatted the sd card downloaded 3/1 build installed the cab. Soft reboot and ran Haret.exe.
Omega, What ROM are you running? Im on Josh's Perfect 1.7. Im starting to think MAYBE the rom has something to do with it?? (i have absolutely no evidence to back this up, however when i tried an old build while running NRG's rom, it worked, but now, it doesnt.)
I'm on clean official WM 6.5 rom.I recently run eclair on my TP2 and decided to reset back to WinMo.When I tried to boot back to Android,it took me forever to load.Anybody can help?
I got problem with 2gb Kingston microSd, but I tried to load Haret from Sandisk 1gk and Sandisk 8gb and it works fine

Please help with sd card

Hi to everyone at this great website
I rooted my phone and everything has been working fine until yesterday i was trying to take pictures and was not able to take any at all and was getting an error that the evo was not able to access the sd card then I tried connecting it to my computer to see if there was anyway to access it through it and was unsuccessfull.
Please help without the files in the sd card I don't know if I can restore the phone back to factory settings if I need to return the phone
Please any one who can help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
I know this is like not helpful at this point, but I would recommend when u get this taken care of that you make a complete backup of you SD card with the nandroid backups and original restoration on a computer in case.this ever happens again. I did this and was saved when my SD card died on me. Good luck.
I bet there's a stock image out there somewhere.

Thanks for your comments, I hope other people can post other ideas as to how to recover from this problem.
Please help
Any one has any other recommendations? My problem is it doesn't detect the card at all. By the way I did made a copy of all the files the were in the SD card, but the problem is I can't copy to the SD card because it doesn't detect the card. I have even tried formating the card and that still didn't work.
Have you installed the OTA update? It was supposed to take care of this issue. Have you tried another SD card?
I just tried another card and it works then I tried the evo SD card im my blackberry and it doesn't work there either, so my conclusion is that the evo card is corrupted I can't even format it.
By the way once you root your phone I can't update unless it was the SD card problem not sure.
Thanks for your response
If you haven't installed the OTA update then I would just in case it is the problem. There is a rooted version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697636.
