I thought i would start this thread, separate to the Jeep one as the Jeep thread is for the 8.4" uConnect and uses some different files to the 6.5" version.
The aim of the thread is to be able to gain some sort of 'root' access to the file system to be able to update the maps on the system. So far I know cm0002 and Leighm0 have done some great work with the 8.4" - Most of which we can use on the 6.5".....once we have access to the file system.
The problem we seem to be facing is finding a swdl.iso that is old enough to be modified for our 6.5" units.
Mission Accomplished.... mostly
Disclaimer: I can not be held responsible for any damages to your uConnect, Car or your hair falling out from running this modification.
That being said, if you do have a problem please contact me and I will see if I can help you fix it.
For all those people still on v17.07.46 or older uConnect 6.5 firmware I offer you a “jailbreak”, you can now update your maps to the latest versions (currently offering EU 2018Q3 / NA 2018Q1 in my pack). I have to warn you though, the process can take a lot of time!
For those of you who have updated your 6.5 uConnect to v17.35.41 or v18, I am still working on how to update those, FCA / Alfa changed the locks with that update!
For a Full EU / NA update, if you follow my instructions fully, it will take approx. 4hours during which time your uConnect must remain powered on. This time can be greatly reduced by only updating the country or countries you need, or if you are feeling brave, skipping Step 1.
Files / Items needed:
uConnect 6.5 running v17 or older firmware -Supporting Alfa, Fiat and Jeeps too!
At least 8gb USB Drive ***preferably with a flashing led light so you can see file access***
Files from
https://mega.nz/#F!kURhTCbJ!uJhKPMyGiESbvQSDb33CvQ
Stage 1 – Backup your files
Download:
1 Magic -Alfa pre UPD.zip -For Alfa
1 Magic -Fiat & Jeep pre UPD.zip -For Fiat / Jeep
2 Backup.zip
Process:
1. Download and expand “1 Magic -XXX.zip” and “2 Backup.zip”
2. Copy the content onto the root of the USB drive
3. Start car and let uConnect boot up (wait approx 5min for full boot up)
4. Plug in and WAIT, the uConnect will not appear to be doing anything but if you are using a USB with a light you should be able to see it flashing with file activity
5. After some time, in my case it took 1h25 to complete this stage, it should popup a window about there is a update that you MUST answer NO to
6. Pull USB, and power cycle the uConnect*
After that you now have a backup of all the system and map files we are going to change on your uConnect.
KEEP THEM SAFE!
Either use a second USB for stage 2, save the backup folder to your computer or if your like me and use a 16gb USB stick you can leave it where it is.
I have now uploaded copies of the official EU Map Packs from (A) 2013, 2015 and 2017, NA Map Packs (B) 2013, and ROW Map Packs (C) WIP that will function as a backup or official upgrade for anybody needing them, restoring your uConnect back to stock.
***If you have a newer set of Original Map files please contact me, and I can add them to the drive for all to benefit from***
Stage 2 – Modify your uConnect
Download:
1 Magic.zip --You should already have this if you completed Stage 1
D EU Custom 2018 HNEU2018Q3v2.zip --Full EU
E NA Custom 2018 HNNA2018Q1.zip --Full North America
Or
D UK Custom 2018 HNUK2018Q3.zip --UK Only
D FR Custom 2018 HNFR2018Q3.zip --France Only
D DE Custom 2018 HNDE2018Q3.zip --Germany Only
D IT Custom 2018 HNIT2018Q3.zip --Italy Only
***There will be other country / State only update packs soon***
Or
A EU 2013 Original NQEU2012Q4.zip --Stock 2013 Maps, Original EU Release
A EU Update 2017 HMEU2015Q4.zip --Newest Original Map files released 2017
B NA 2013 Original NQNA2013Q4.zip --Stock 2013 Maps, Original NA Release
Process:
1. Download and expand “1 Magic.zip” and “D XX Custom 2018 HN….zip”
2. Copy the content onto the root of the USB drive
3. Start car and let uConnect boot up (wait approx. 5min for full boot up)
4. Plug in and WAIT, the uConnect will not appear to be doing anything but if you are using a USB with a light you should be able to see it flashing with file activity
5. After some time, depending on file used - If country / State only pack approx. 15min if full EU then approx. 2h, it should popup a window about there is a update that you MUST answer NO
6. Pull USB, and power cycle the uConnect*
If all gone well you will now have a uConnect 6.5 with updated maps!
As I am sure you can understand, there are still some little bugs to work out;
Problems:
UK postcodes > Only 5 digit search
Speedcams > Not working at all
Anything else… you tell me
Fixed:
UK TMC now working
France TMC working again
Italy TMC (paid version) working
There may be other little problems, but I am unable to test them, please let me know and I will look into them and try to fix!
*To Power cycle:
Either remove key, lock car, wait 10min, unlock and restart)
Or use engineers menu to reset the uConnect (Press Radio, More and Browse until menu pops up, scroll down to Reset Radio, answer YES)
I have uploaded some of the files, more to come.

The 15.18.xx file is ROW and after modifying it to work for any model, I get a authentication error on inserting the USB!!!!
Hi SquithyX,
Any chance to get the link for "Updated EU Maps (2018q1) formatted for the 6.5"??
Many Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have a working Alfa 6.5" headunit with 14.X.X sw still installed on it. Does anyone know if it is possible to extract fw directly through JTAG? What kind of harware is needed to do such operation?

Not sure on JTAG, but if it is a early uConnect (Alfa 940 unit with More button) then the NAND chip is on a separate daughter board, that can be removed from the system. If a interface could be made for that then full disk access could be got.

I found a datasheet searching JY455
It seems to be an eMMC Memory from Micron (MTFC??GLGDM) with a build in MMC-Interface
Maybe it works like an MMC-Card.
If someone build an adapter for the white connector and USB, maybe we can read and write the flash like an MMC-Card on an USB reader.
for you may this works for really? have a look for "Alfa Romeo Giulietta UConnect Apple CarPlay & Android Auto retrofit Kit" in a search engine. it's very expensive but they say you can use touch screen as well to interaction when usually all the video interface i have found say not possbile, only video signal. what do you think about this?
So close, but broken lol
Success......kind of, I have managed to modify a swdl.iso to enable loading of different / modified files, on my Alfa 6.5 uConnect running 17.07.55.
The problem now is I seem to have completely broken navigation!!!!!!
I used the idea from post #216 in the Rooted Jeep Cherokee thread and modified the manifest.lua file in the swdl.iso (17.07.55) to load a script from usb before running the update.
Process goes power on uConnect > wait for it to boot up and display "Hands free ...." > insert USB and wait...it seems like its not doing anything but the script is running in the background > after some time the do you want to update question and answer No.
The fact that is has asked if you want to update is confirmation that the script has finished, however unfortunately there is no indication that the script is being run or how long it will take unless you have a usb with a flashing light, then it will show you something is happening at least! **my usb does not have a flashing light
I tested it with a splash screen update.... that worked perfectly, so no more boring Alfa Romeo logo on silver background for me at start up, I then pushed the modified NaviServer2, nav.sh and navRestart.sh files and rebooted.... new splash screen working perfectly but on pressing Nav button I just end up on a screen saying "Activating Navigation"
I am in the process of uploading the modified files to the mega share if anybody whats to have a look or are feeling brave
Navigation now fixed! working on making a 2018q2 map pack for it now.

Really????' you are the MAN! could you please share everything you have used and step by step? do you think even with firmware 18 installed is possible updating maps?
thanks
Ok, here is a test image (working with v17 and earlier.... unknown for v18).
https://mega.nz/#!IUZDQATI!o1OBd8qbA...mQ5lunDb0opDvs
For anybody wanting to try it, and let me know the outcome.
The script I have included will:
Backup your MAPS license files to the USB
Backup your original Alfa Splash Screen to the USB
Copy a dbver file to the USB, that should contain information about your version of MAPS installed
Push the modified Splash screen and set its properties on the uConnect
Steps:
1. Download and expand
2. Copy onto USB drive (at least 4gb) ***preferably with a flashing led light so you can see file access***
3. Start car and let uConnect boot up (wait approx 5min for full boot up)
4. Plug in and hope
5. After some time it should popup a window about there is a update (with v17) that you answer NO to. With v18 i dont know what it will do, it may popup a window saying newer version installed, Error or maybe not do anything at all.
If that is the case use the led on the usb to make sure no file access is going on and then maybe wait 5 min extra, just to make sure.
6. Pull usb, and power cycle the uConnect - either power off the car (lock car, wait 5min, unlock and restart) or use engineers menu to reset the uConnect
7. Watch it boot....the boot image will be different if success!!!!! (there will also be some new files on the usb)
It is very important NOT to let it run the update, if it offers
I am in the process of uploading my work to my mega share,
I am currently running 2018Q3 UK maps in my Alfa with WORKING tmc. Still trying to sort the speedcams and full postcode search though - they dont work....yet!

WARNING!!!! SOMEONE (ME ALSO) LOST THE USE OF VOLUME BOTTONS AND CAMERA IN WINDOWS MOBILE AFTER TESTING THIS ANDROID VERSION, THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS A HARD RESET, SINCE WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIX THIS KIND OF PROBLEMS I SUGGEST YOU TO TRY IT ONLY IF YOU ARE READY TO A POSSIBLE HARD RESET!!!
REMEMBER: ALWAYS WAIT FOR WINDOWS MOBILE TO FINISH HIS BOOTING SEQUENCE BEFORE STARTING HARET.EXE, MIGHT BE THIS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM
Screenshots in the second post (Thanks a lot aavan)
FAQ At 3rd post (thanks a lot Rizlo)
Here's the new Thread a lot of people asked for:
A new project is born to port Android on different htc devices with the same build.
A team of linux experts on #htc-linux is working hard to make it real and i'm trying to keep You updated with it.
Installation:
1- backup your data from yor sdcard to somewhere on your Computer (just to save pictures and music from accidents)
2- Format your sdcard fat32
3- download http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/AllInOne/Android-Donut-htclinux-15-11-09.7z (right click and save as) and unzip it in the root of your sdcard
4- copy /startup/blackstone.txt to the root of your sdcard and rename it startup.txt
5- Edit the startup.txt as u prefere (only if You know what You are doing, otherwise just leave it like You found it)
6- A new zimage avaiable here http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ (the one from Fri Nov 20 23:54:15 2009 +0100 ) unzip and put everything in the root of your sdcard rename the new zImage.20091120_235415 to zImage and u can delete the old modules-2.6.27-00593-g3890096.tar.gz
7- download http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/BuildUpdates/rootfs.img-15-11-09.7z unzip it and replace the old rootfs.img
This will fix the recharging problems
8- Go to Windows power settings and uncheck the "Auto adjust backlight" option.
9- Disable PIN on your Windows Mobile
10- run a file explorer and find in the root of your sdcard the file named Haret.exe and launch it
11- Test Android on your HD Blackstone and let us know every little thing to fix
You can contact the team or help us by joining #htc-linux on freenode irc network
Thanks to: phh, yeyoy, klinux, cr2, townkat, auss81, itchy8me and all the other people working on it on #htc-linux and of course You all testing and reporting
In this version:
--- Android 1.6
--- Accellerometer works
--- Bluetooth Works
--- Screen on/off works
--- Telephone, SMS system works (if your sms dont work try to read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433433 maybe u can fix it, anyway let us know if it works)
--- 3G works
--- Internet connection is finally fully controlled by Android and not from startup.txt so is supposed to be easier and working better
--- WiFi working (aparently only WPA2 is working propely)
--- Now power botton is "home botton" short press go to home, long press popup a menu of latest applications used
--- Recharging working
In the next release 3.5 jack entrance for normal Headphones will be fixed
Anyway phh give me the idea to "fix" the problem with turning on screen so hard and loong...
Is not really a fix but is a cheat
Download a terminal from the market or search for "Better Terminal" on google and copy the *.apk file u get into your sdcard in the directory /AndroidApps/ (if there's not that dir just create it) After booting u should find the application in your menu
type:
su
bash
echo 42 > /sys/power/wake_lock (remember to use the "spaces" between 42 and > and /sys...)
To revert the process just soft reset
this makes only the screen to sleep and not the system, makeing the screen faster to wake up, but it will affect your battery life.
It's your choice guys.
I hope we will fix it in next releases
For your knowledge you can visit and read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelDonut

Enjoy

FAQ
Q: If I run Android on my phone, will it wipe out Windows and erase my own brain too? I don't want to forget my mother's name.
A: No. Just soft-reset your device and you will get back to good ol' WinMo.
Q: So I can try out Android with no consequence at all?
A: Not exactly. There is a slight risk that your camera and/or your volume buttons stop working. A hard-reset will fix this anyway.
Q: My phone is stuck at boot, displaying "Waiting for SD Card". Should I commit suicide?
A: No son, just get out of your room and go buy yourself a Class 2 SD Card. Most Class 6 cards have been reported not to work.
Q: It boots! But I can't find a way to enter my SIM unlock code! What's wrong with my life?
A: Just boot Windows and disable the SIM lock. It doesn't work in Android, yet.
Q: My camera flash isn't working anymore
A: Ok, that was a joke. Got it.
Q: My battery lasts 15 seconds.
A: This is an early development stage, so the system is not really optimized for battery life. Uncheck auto-dimming in Windows and install toggledata in Android to save some power. Or keep the darn thing plugged to USB, for crying out loud.
Q: How can I setup my APN?
A: Go to Settings - Wireless controls - Mobile networks - Access Point Names; tap on your home button and on New APN.
Q: I set my APN but it doesn't connect! How can I live with the burden of this endless pain?
A: Reboot and restart Haret. Or try and fondle with the airplane mode, sometimes it works.
Q: I can receive SMS messages but I cannot send any.
A: Known issue, it may be network related. Try this workaround http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433433 . Guy who posts this for the 10000th time doesn't win any prize.
Q: I can receive SMS messages but I cannot send any.
A: I said...
Q: I enabled WIFI but it's not connecting.
A: Try rebooting again. Also, it's been widely reported that it won't work on WEP protected networks, switching to WPA2 could solve the problem.
Q: When my phone goes to sleep mode there seems to be no way to bring it up again. Is it dead?
A: Press the power button. Again. And again. And again andagain andaggggain. Be patient, it will come up eventually.
Q: Android 2.0 is out!
A: We KNOW. Listen and repeat. WE KNOW. But devs are working on 1.6 for now, and getting that to fully work is their goal at the moment.
Q: Why can't we have the Hero skin on our device?
A: This is not really related to making Android work on the HD but anyway... that UI is designed for lower resolution phones. Go on a general Android forum for this kind of things.
Q: Is it gonna rain today?
A: I have to admit it's quite cloudy.

Why "Waiting for SD card" ?
Is my first time to Android linux.
mitikos i've built a .zip with tuxfiles and phh kernel/donut with startup.txt already fixed for blackstone, uploading right now so we have a complete package with everything we need.
If anyone can download it and make a mirror that'll be great, oh and maybe give it a try so we're sure it works, on my phone is working great.
Partial test: this relese is more stable, smoother, and more responsive than Tux' 0.2........
Now, finally, I can resume the LCD on by simply holding the power button......
Bluetooth is active now, but I not tested it yet
APN is now configurable without modifing the startup file, but at the moment I'm not able to start a data session...... maybe my operator WIND?
Screen rotation is fully active but not for the home.
Wifi not yet tested, but I know is still in development.
auss81 for me wind italy connection is working, just create a new apn in the wireless config and put internet.wind as apn, but i've configured it also in the startup.txt, have to try w/o it.

Great work. I was going to make that suggestion.
It's way better to have the same starting package in order to test and check possible issues.
anyone else getting random lockups?
I'm also having problems with turning the screen on again after changed the end button behaviour to make the device sleep. Only a soft reset makes it usable.
Otherwise this is a huge step forward in terms of functionality. Good work to all those involved

Yes i know the turning on screen sometimes is laggy, but is just couse the phone goes in deep sleep, so u hqave to press the bottons many times to weak it up. We will fix it in the newer versions for sure. You dont need to soft reset, just be patient, press the bottons and he's coming back for sure.

Hey guys, lot of things happened here is a short summary:
-i've sold my Diamond
-yozgatg released this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623048 (awesome job, i wish i had my diamond...)
-New version of Android: XDAndroid
-This thread won't be followed and updated by me from now on. sry T.T
If you still want to update your diamond, they have plenty of threads about it in Raphael or Blackstone sections which are the same builds with different startup.txt
So, I hope you had a good time with my crappy english writing, I wish you all have soon enough a stable every day use Android on Diamond

Read this also as it seems to answer, comment everything in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5308744&postcount=121
=================================================================================================
you can grab the build of 04 jan 2010 in my 4shared folder: techunter.4shared.com
=================================================================================================
Now a little explanation on how I proceeded:
3ways of doing it:
I/ Compile it yourself
-> not enough time didn't even tried but you can try here
II/ Download latest image
The packs you can have from sites are generally a stable android release. All the zImage and modules on msm-htc-android sites are all development packs, so choose wisely. Last update doesn't mean best update!
Prerequisite: create a dir name (for example) eclair_fs.
You can also put a Light Rom to make it boot faster or THIS ONE from yozgatg
a)===================
get the build package here:
Quoting this post (again its the main post for the Raphael/Blackstone/DIamond):

extract all in eclair_fs/ on your hard drive
b)===================
(Optional if your package in a) already has the zImage) get the zImage here:

(autobuild files, thx for posting this!)
you should have something like zImage-modules-DATE_VER.tar
--go to eclair_fs/ and delete the modules-2.6.27-00330-f485082e.tar (name differ with version) and the "zImage" files.
--untar (with winrar or whatever) in your eclair_fs/ the two files.
--rename the zImage.00000000 (figures as the build date) in "zImage" (without quotes).
-- leave the modules-2.6.27-00710-g485083e.tar you have just extracted with the same name.
c)===================
go to eclair_fs/startup-configs and make sure you have a DIAM100.txt (or whatever DIAMx00 you have, retrieve DIAMx00.txt).
*if YES then delete eclair_fs/startup.txt and copy+rename the eclair_fs/startup-configs/DIAM100.txt to eclair_fs/startup.txt.
*if NO then google another package (the one from connect-utb should have one).
d)===================
optional: make your changes in startup.txt
e)===================
delete the data.img file if you have one (when you make changes in your zImage or system.sqsh you have to delete data.img).

-disabled the PinCode
-Enabled the GPRS Connection (it works for me without this step but sometime not)
-disabled the airplane mode (if you activated the GPRS you should't be in this mode ^^
-disable whatever special state you put your phone in.
i)===================
run /InternalStorage/Haret.exe
Format your internal storage once in fat32, you don't need to format it every time you change between build.
III/ Get custom build from Raphael or Blackstone etc...

-If you have a problem with the PINCode being always wrong:
Go into WinMo and disable it.
-If you need your APN Profil:
check on your operator's website in the android page like for HTC Magic. exemple for SFR you can get the settings from sfr.fr under "My account" webpage of via their forum.
-Microphone too low?
known issue, sry.
-My version is too unstable?
download the package from Connect UTB and copy it directly into your storage card. Its the latest stable. The one I posted here is the latest dev.
- OMG where my battery went??
YES battery is the most important issue for now ^^
-Something go badly wrong, like messed up volume button or whatever
HARD RESET (assuming you did saved your contacts what so ever. I highly recommend saving your contacts by Gmail Exchange server (m.google.com) or with MS MyPhone.

I remembered someone asking about getting their outlook contacts onto their device, and noticed that in Contacts there is the option to import/export, so all you need to do is export contacts from Outlook and save the file to your root folder then open contacts in Android and import the csv file.
I came across the ability to program what function the end key can perform the options were along the lines -
1. close program
2. home page
3. close program and home page
4. do nothing
however, I cant seem to find the option and I am not sure if it was an application I was using or a setting function??? Anyone came across this?
Update The setting is in the Spare Parts App

(Sorry if it's a stupid question)
Thx
yes, it works...you just have to change the startup file acording to your device.
There is already a startup file for the diamond. This works very well
Dont expect it to be a complete replacement for windows just yet. GPS and Camera do not work but thats minor.
Is it possible to have Swedish keyboard?
Comments from testing?
Android not booting
Android does not boot on my device.It says "failed to find system.img on sdcard".Though a system.sqsh file is present in internal storage.I renamed it to system.img then too it fails with same error message.
interesting, anyone tested?
how about it's performance? smoother than windows 6.5?
mod please delete for double post...
Comments:
Best try for yourself. I found it to be a little annoying to use (much like most Linux machines i've used before). It sometimes seems a little laggy, and I couldnt work out how to turn my phone off since the power button just brings up a menu. Also my phone kept locking and I had to fiddle to get it unlocked again.
I'm not exactly sure how it runs on the phone. If it runs on top of my current rom then my experiences could be down to lack of RAM. When I did a soft reset my Windows ROM booted up and I've been using that until I can get a chance to play again.
Also, I am on O2 UK. I must need to get my 3G settings from somewhere because I couldnt get on the internet under linux.
I will definately be playing some more and will see about using it as a propper phone OS, once I get my contacts on my sim, and I get WWW working. It's very good IMO
It works god but it needs more work. there are problems to get GPRS to work
One good thing is that after a reboot it boots on WM, so you could try android and have your Windows back after a reboot =)
Can't get SMS to work, tried ATcommander.
dieselboy : To turn off the phone, just hold the End button.
so i got it on my diamond and it works rly fine!
is there any way to include htc sense in the android?
It doesn't boot with me.
I use a custom WM6.1 ROM (AZTOR WWE).
I copied all files and updates to the internal storage.
When I start HaRET from the explorer it shows a progressbar saying:
HaRET: Booting Linux ...
on the bottom of my screen is a second titlebar (from Windows) that shows me a Windows Start button, the text 'HaRET Version...' , a keyboard and all the icons I have in my titlebar (reception, volume, 3G icon...)
The progressbar doesn't get past (about) 95% and then everything freezes.
Anyone any idea? Do I need to stop TouchFlo or something?
GPRS and WIFI are unable to work.
Hang on a moment.
So this is now working in the sense that I can make a call and the microphone and ear piece now work?
I tried Android a few months ago and the only benefit I could see was that it ran and loaded but none of the phone hadrware was usable or a ***** to get gprs working.

WiFi works when the network you want to connect to has WPA2 key encryption.
Cool!
Ok A list of what keys do what would be handy.
The menu (Home Button I'm assuming)Button doesn't seem to do anything when the Phone auto locks..
GPS work ?

So far I've figured out that the End Key is the power button; it puts it to sleep (which takes a while to wake up from).
The power button is Home or whatever it's called on Android; it takes you to the desktop.
Home key is menu button and is used to unlock, you can wake the phone up with either power button or menu button but then menu to unlock, sometimes you have to press it a couple of times.
Call button still seems to be call; it brings up the call log from the desktop.
I'm liking what I've seen so far; it's very intuitive. I haven't got 3G internet working though :-(.
API Demos
The simple bitmap ones work but Opengl ones just make the phone crash.
I can't wait to see this on a phone with the Tegra chip on.
Don't understand why When I set the sound to Vibrate. Bejewed still plays sound. It's Cool though
I accidentally started the Voice dialler which also crashed but it's cool. GPRS Data is working
WPA2 Wifi cool!
Gyro Sensors working

Android on your Windows Mobile HTC Device...
Supports Blackstone, Diamond, Diamond 500, Fuze, Raphael, Raphael 800, Rhodium, Tilt 2 & Topaz
This thread is dedicated to FroYo, and NOT Eclair releases!
First things first, this post is PURELY an instruction guide for noobies that aims to reflect the latest status and downloads (give or take a day).
I am not an Android developer, I do not create any of this software... this is done by far more talented people than I. This thread is purely to collate the latest info for Android on Windows Mobile HTC devices and make deploying Android on your device as simple as possible.
If you have new information that should be added to the guide (and is relevant for ALL folks) then feel free to add to the thread and I'll update the OP frequently.
These opening few posts should have ALL the latest info you need to get started (no need to trawl through the threads).
The only time you 'might' need to look in the thread is for 'breaking news' info that is no more than a day old...i.e. The Opening Post is the place!
Credits: There are too many to mention, and many are unknown, but basically the guys poring Android to our devices should be thanked, along with all those making the effort to help others test, document, or use their work (along with those who provide answers to the same questions, time and time again). These are the guys who deserve the credit. From memory...

What's New?
Latest Update: 03 Sep 2010 (V1.6)
InitRD - 20100813-b11116a
Rootfs - 20100828-c29a486
System - XDAndroid 2.2.AOSP.3.9.10.RC.2.2
Kernel - 20100830_01302 (no debugging)
Headset support - Credits to Oliwe
3D support for Blackstone/Diamond/Raphael (Rhodium/Topaz have no 3D)- Credits to Oliwe
Gallery working - Credits to Oliwe
Touchscreen Calibration is back! During first clean install, touch each of the five calibration points CAREFULLY to calibrate your screen before installation completes. Plus, general touchscreen fixes and power off support - Credits to Oliwe
Back to basics System... stock Android system.
Takes about 5 mins usage before the system starts to speed up, so expect it to be a little sluggish for the first 5 mins.
None 3D devices may not show boot screen, so please be patient during install (screen will show black)
I'd advise that once installed, you also launch SpareParts, and configure the window animations etc to 'fast'
There is a chance that after installation, some Startup.txt settings MAY be incorrect for your device. If you discover any mistake, PLEASE let me know, I will correct asap. I need your help on this guys.
How To Install (CAB Version)
Step 1 - Prepare your SD Card
Find a nice clean SD card to load Android on.
You can either format your card to get it entirely clean, or you can leave all the files you may already have on there.
*Warning* - If you have valuable data on your card, back it up. Android is usually safe, but if you can't afford to lose the data on your card, don't risk it!
Some cards have difficulty working, there is a POSSIBILITY this is due to the formatting of the card. If in doubt, format to FAT32, not FAT16
Step 2 - Download and install the CAB
Download and install the following 'full package' cab (a collection of ALL the files you'll need to run Android on your device) by clicking the XDAndroid Cab button below.
You MUST install on the Storage Card. The cab file will take a couple of minutes to install Android. Please be patient.
For those that are interested the cab files does the following:
- Installs Android in the root of the SD Card
- Deploys the correct Startup.txt for the device (the user can choose their device type)
- Adds a high res icon for Android in the root of the SD Card
- Installs a shortcut in Program Files named "Android" (launches Haret.exe)
- Installs the high res icon in the registry for WM6.5 users
Step 3 - Run Android
Android is now installed... So launch 'Android' from your Program Files menu in WinMo. Your phone should reboot into Android with 2 quick vibrations.
Have patience... the first time you do this can take a LONG time (3 mins or more). During the first boot on SOME devices, you will be asked to calibrate the screen. This is very similar to Windows Mobile screen calibration (except it's in text mode).
The reason the first boot takes longer is that Android is 'preparing' your device for the first time.
How To Install (ZIP Version)
Step 1 - Prepare your SD Card
Find a nice clean SD card to load Android on.
You can either format your card to get it entirely clean, or you can leave all the files you may already have on there.
*Warning* - If you have valuable data on your card, back it up. Android is usually safe, but if you can't afford to lose the data on your card, don't risk it!
Some cards have difficulty working, there is a POSSIBILITY this is due to the formatting of the card. If in doubt, format to FAT32, not FAT16
Step 2 - Download and extract the ZIP
Download and install the following 'full package' zip(a collection of ALL the files you'll need to run Android on your device) by clicking the XDAndroid zip button below.
You MUST unzip to the ROOT of the Storage Card. The zip file will take a short while to extract. Please be patient.
Once you've extracted the zip:
- Click Auto-Setup.exe to configure XDAndroid for your particular device
Step 3 - Run Android
Android is now installed... So launch 'Android' from your Program Files menu in WinMo. Your phone should reboot into Android with 2 quick vibrations.
Have patience... the first time you do this can take a LONG time (3 mins or more). During the first boot on SOME devices, you will be asked to calibrate the screen. This is very similar to Windows Mobile screen calibration (except it's in text mode).
The reason the first boot takes longer is that Android is 'preparing' your device for the first time.
If you want to exit Android and go back to Windows Mobile, then you need to shut down / reboot. To do so with the latest Android releases, hold down the 'end call' button until you see a menu appear.
If this fails to work, then the only option is remove the battery or press the reset button.
Known Issues
Many things are still not working properly, and the developers are fully aware of 99% of them.
SDCard - Most SDCards are working, but if you the 'waiting for SDCard' message, you should try one of these fixes (and please let us know if it works)
Fix 1: Format your card with this tool http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
Fix 2: Edit your startup.txt file and add these entries to your cmdline:
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3
msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave"
Fix 3: Tell your wife / girlfriend that you are about to make some modifications to her phone... change the ringtone and steal her old Class 2 SD Card to use with Android. She will never discover what you have done, and if she does, you'll be able to use Android to send texts to your former girlfriends ;-)
SDCard - A few users have claimed to have had trouble using their SD Cards after installing XDAndroid. Some of those have reformatted the SD Card, and it worked, some couldn't recover it. This is a minority of users, but be warned.
Camera - Not working
GPS - working
Battery Status - Highly problematic for most users (don't trust the capacity Android tells you, it's simply up and down a lot, and highly inaccurate)
WiFi - Working for most people, suspected to cause slight heat, definitely drains the battery faster than WinMo.
Audio - Speaker working for most people, microphone can have issues
Deep Sleep - Working for most people, but can have issues waking up (sometimes, it will not wake up)
GPRS - Working
3G - Working for most
PIN Code - Unknown
GSensor - Working (Screen only handles 0 and 270 degrees)
Bluetooth - Experimentally working (don't expect too much, but it's working for a number of users)
OpenGL ES - 'should' be working but only for Blackstone... more to follow soon
USB - Supported, but will NOT operate in mass storage mode. You can charge via USB and you can debug, but forget accessing your files by it.
Headphone Socket - Semi working (see FAQ for details on how to make it work)
Application Errors: It's very common to see 'Application (xxxxxx) is not responding: Force Close or Wait'. Click wait. I do not know the precise reason for this, but from what I can gather, it COULD be related to the slow speed of the SD Card causing the app response times to JUST be a little too slow for Android's liking, thus causing the message. This seems to happen more after bootup or wakeup when the device is busy doing stuff in the background.
Cannot choose ringtones: This is believed to be caused by the media scanner failing (due to discovering some filenames with none English characters). The best option of all is to use a CLEAN SD Card. But, if you insist on hosting other files on the same SD Card, you MUST make sure they have English character filenames.

Zip now available
Cab will be here in the next hour... but...
This is major move from Eclair to FroYo, and it's slightly slower than the Eclair release (so far).
This is normal though, since many of the Eclair release issues where ironed out, but with FroYo we take a small step backwards before we can progress again...
This release is VERY untested... I used it for 30 mins on a Blackstone only... no other devices tested yet

many thanks for quick explanation and I'm sorry for so quick reply
Will be Sense UI included in this build?
Or where can I get Sense UI for Android?
Many thanks
looks like just an update from 2.1 to 2.2 - no bug-fixes or new working features, right?
downloading now to have a play
OMFG!! YES!!
android 2.2 has calendar sync to exchange (2007) natively!. this release has hammered yet another nail into WM coffin!
also it looks like my 2.1 install was broken - seems noticably faster and touchscreen seems to be working a bit more predicably.
sorry but where is the file.
:-D First post, Step 2 -> Biiig black button
sorry being a noob, all done and running.

No it does not have Sense. Why would you want it?
You can get virtually all the same widgets from other sources. Sense is a massive resource drain (esp on XDAndroid), and on non 3D supported hardware
If you want the flipclock, you can get it from multiple places, the wallpaper, the wallpaper, and similar widgets are all floating around too.
Hi there!
As i said on a thread (bit long time ago), i had the intention of making an opensource file manager for the kin.
So i have been working on for two days, and i'm reserving this thread for its releases and descriptions.
It will be given as donationware, which means that you can take it for free and donate if you wish (or not to... )
SECURITY DISCLAIMER
- As you can imagine, by using this tool you have not guaranteed the operational state with your device and is provided "as is". You are the only responsable on the effects if could have on your device, even though i tested locally all the options for hours. Like you do for 3rd party non-certified software.
- DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT unplug the device nor close the program while writing or reading from the device. Errors states are unknown and you may scr3w up your flash memory.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- If during the usage, it takes long, WAIT for the transmission to end. Errors are handled by the program and in the last cases there are 2 to 3 levels of error treatment, notificating you in the info box and storing a brief description on the "error.log" file when it's ultra. (I'm still human, new errors can appear).
- IF during this usage the kin gets a "Connected" window and the program is clossed without closing that window, then it's the time where you can unplug and it will reset the device communication values, pluggin again. If you reach this state without doing magic, notify it to solve the bug.
Characteristics
- Libusb driver given for the kin (needs to remove the Zune one)
- Windows (XP,7) 32/64 bits. Linux (through Mono), Mac Osx(through Mono Framework) Compatibility
- Developed in pure c# (using libusbdotnet)
- Developped in layers:
----> Usb
----> Mtp Functions
----> Mtp<->Interface manager
----> Interface
Images V0.01
Requirements
- OS:
---> Windows
------->Net Framework 2.0
------->Libusb-win32 driver(provided below)
---> Linux
------->Root mode to access the devices.
------->Mono
------->Libusb 1-0 components
---> Mac OsX (Checked with Snow Leopard, PAIN IN THE ASS)
-------> Mono framework
-------> Libusb-1.0 source (sourceforge)
----------> Modern OSX compile for 64 bits. Mono needs 32 bits. Compile (as root) with:
Code:
sudo su
./configure CC="gcc -m32"
make CC="gcc -m32"
make CC="gcc -m32" install
*Note: it takes a looooooooooooooooooong time to load the first time. be patient
*Note2: if mono yells about needing X11 for Winforms, download Wireshark for OSX, which has X11 easy installation inside (needed for it).
Download links
Kin Driver (libusb-win32): (Create one with InfWizard for the kin PID and VID)
32 bit version: http://www.mediafire.com/?0nhrdn7f5je6dcx
64 bit version: (please use above version)
Source: ***Still needs a bit more documentation, cleaning and binary testing for errors ***
* Note that i DONT have a 64 bit hardware, so i based its compatibility on the failed running in my Windows 7 (aka "this is for other architecture error")
** Note that to use this driver you MUST remove the Zune driver. I recommend to test it on a clean virtual machine first
Functions
- TreeView Kin Storage explorer (Auto Resyncs after each operation)
---> Select one or multiple items with the checkboxes next to them.
- Batch upload to the kin (to the root of the tree)
---> Select one ore more files from the selection dialog and go go go. Any file, anytime
-------> **Danger** pressing twice will upload files twice, be patient.
- Multiple file download from the kin
----> Mark any file from the tree and press "Download". The file will be downloaded to a subfolder "Downloads" next to the exe, where the tree storage has been replicated.
-------> **Danger** Folder and Playlists and other files are just logical, and have no size, so program deals with them as folders (and are created emptied in the local system at the pc)
- Multiple file delete
-------> Mark any file from the tree and press "Delete". After confirmation, the files selected will be removed from the device.
-------> **Danger** Folders are not deleted. Infobox at the bottom will inform you if a file could not be deleted.
-------> **Danger** I trickied it so the storage root could not be deleted... ahhh smart little fellas.. you were already thinking in that huh! rofl.
Known issues
- During my random tests around, i found that sometimes (dunno why exactly), the kin <-> Kino communication skips a step, messing up the mtp communication schema. The solution i used in this release was to show the root storage without children nodes. As this case is an error, you should tell me if you know a repeatable way to get it so i can retest and solve it.
To keep going with the kin, close Kino, and unlock the Connected window (slide your finger over it) and unplug & plug the usb again.
F.A.Q.
- Q: No donation button in the end?
- A: Nope. Just when it proves to be useful .
- Q: This works with Kin One devices?
- A: No. I only have access to Two (bricked) and TwoM devices, so cannot test for the little round turtle.
- Q: Do you provide a driver for Kin?
- A: Yes. It is only a bridge from the programs to the libusb-win32 functions. Unfortunately, you would have to remove the zune driver (Hardware manager) before using this one.
- Q: This bricks kin devices?
- A: At all.
- Q: This can hack the device?
- A: No. This is only a tool to upload and download files to your kin. If later it's used to hack, good anyway
- Q: Can this upload *any* file to the kin storage?
- A: Yes, binary files like exe, cab,pdf, ... will be labeled as 0x3000 (undefined filetype) for the kin.
- Q: Can i take the code and make my version called OmgKinManager?
- A: Yup. It would be a nice detail to include a little text in "about..." regarding me though
kk, apart from the above, i'm a bit stuck on the uploading procedure, doing it dinamically, not with known filesizes like i tested before.
I will try to get it to work and allow multiselection file dialogs.
Later, downloading, which is easier, as i just request files. I will try to make the selectable tree work, so several files can be downloaded at a time.
Btw, the tree is not a demo, it's my real storage, being asked to the kin. It's a long process, as i ask for the id's and their values to the kin to create a Tree structure, later parsed by the interface.
Whenever that and deletion is done, i will upload both the driver and the program/source to the public.
For Zune's functionality lost scared people, i would suggest to try on a windows virtual machine first (which i will do to test for .net framework requirements and so)
Way cool imn glad to see some progress
Nice work! I spend a lot of time on this forum reading posts and 75% of the time it's your post. You've spent a lot of time working on this project and we all appreciate it. Expect a donation from me in the near future
I'm speechless.
Hey john, you have only gotten into the media section correct? What type of things have you gotten to do if i may ask. If you want, I can help get "into" the other parts of the phone. A.K.A contacts. That's my main concern right now. I could care less of customizing the OS (which I will get to if you care to lend a hand.) Since I don't want to Say anything just yet, send me an email to [email protected]. I would like to help. I'm on my phone at the moment but tomorow I'll post how i got the phone into a writeable state (which I don't know if it still work. I've only tested twice.) If it doesn't work tomorrow, I'll donate my time during the week helping you guys. I may need to get a new battery.
P.S. It's taking me awhile to do this becuase I dont want to brick my phone. Im definately not using my enV touch!
please, read the faq above. this is not a hacking thing, but a sync one.
to be honest, i dont care about contacts cause i dont use this phone to make calls and i just wanted it to be more open. pinned apps or phone settings storage would be my only interest apart storage folder.
also, i dont want to keep secrets or long term waiting things. post what you want or dont post, but dont make it a teaser of nothing. plus i dont wanna go emailing people.
Props to you. Great utility, if it were able to get deeper into the system. Then it would be golden.
Edited for many reason
As some other forumeer seems to have gotten into the phone system, imma halt this development till acess range is shown (filesystem / storage / settings), if any.
There's no need to redo all the required mtp subsystem if we can get there by other (easier) means. OS native explorer, for example.
just go ahead and work on it in case the other guy fails. ^.^

Nice future-sight on this post
I just tested the file upload in the command-line again with static (coded by hand) filesizes.
Here is a new vid (hahaha famous ultralowres) where a file is upload to a just-formatted kin (CB+power).
File: dstpa.mp4 (BEP- Don't stop the party), 33.1MB
Destination: Kin storage root
Playable after upload: yup!
Mp4 tags: At all .
Just a upload showcase, not just naming the procedure .
nice nice ^.^
more freedom in file management I like.
woot goodjob
I have to give you kudos for your dedication. You kept at it even after you bricked your first kin.
I patiently await a release.
I'm trying to get the alpha release up today (tonight here).
I was in the mood and moved my coding-ass. Solved most of the problems on-the-go, but downloading.
I'm trying to allow multidownload keeping same directories on the pc... just cause i wanted to... rofl.
Hummmmm,
EVERYDAYIAMSHUFFLIN
Mmm after discovering several things, and implementing a lot of bugfixes (didnt know some things about MTP), there it is.
here, and all the versions are updated and uploaded in the 1st post, among the driver for it.
As posted there, i suggest to use it on a virtual machine with .net framework 2.0 cause the removal of the zune's driver for the kin.
You can now take your kin and (if the driver & program behave correctly), upload the files you want to the Kin.
Any type of file, any time.
I'm pretty naughty telling this, but apart from uploading....... i don't check for the file contents... so if any of you want to turn a .exe into .mp4 to look for exploits i wouldnt blame you for testing....
Double naughty if i say that Zune doesnt load info from the files itself, but only what was transfered from MTP (.. poor fella)
You can check that, cause it will only load the filename and name of the mp3, ... cause i did that (before today, i just sent filename, which makes its name blank on zune, like you saw in my video from BEP).
Hope you all enjoy and no errors appear.. rofl.
Btw, there's no donate option, cause i think it's more fair to think about that when the program is known to work, and not just alpha releases .
It's 02:53 AM here, so i better go to bed, to work tomorrow and that things....
I just wish this thing could play games lol.
@Johnkussack
Wow. I have to say thank you for putting your time and effort into really hacking this phone. I can't wait to see someone get android or wp7 running on this thing (if it's even possible with the hack you have, I'm not sure). Ether way, thanks for everything.
Android 4.4 Reversing Camera Mirror With A10,A23,A33 CPU
These mirrors come in many different flavours now. At time of edit post A33 x5 quadcore is the latest with 16GB. This newer unit can be rooted with kingroot apk version. I find I lose root after reboot for some reason. I haven't found a firmware for this mirror version as of yet. For some reason my mirror does not have a wifi antenna attached so poor signal unless 4 meters line of sight. Please becareful as from experience from buying 3 mirrors now, there can be huge differences to build quality even thou they look the same.
I'm not updating this thread with RT01 firmware anymore. Please check Baidu link below
Also need this to load firmware to TF/microsd
PhoenixCard_V310_20130618.rar
To load new firm run Phoenixcard - Select image - Insert TF card/ Microsd - Choose burn (Try until magic) - Insert Tf Card into mirror and shutdown - After mirror firmware loaded you must format to normal or Tfcard will flash mirror again on reset
You may also find your firmware here. Let me know if you can't download it(use iPad to view)

Just got this item off eBay. Url removed
Screen looks great. Touch screen works a treat. Nice and bright and good angle also.
There are a few things different listed that the seller on eBay has not listed correct.
It comes with android 4.4.2 And not 4.0
Has a A23 dual core and not A10
Kernel version 3.4.39
And it has a battery which would last a couple of days with no use - make sure you turn off wifi when not on power
This is a true android with some very basic functions missing. Starting it has no google services. So no google play store, no where to login to google account in settings. The launcher looks good(you can't change it) expect there is no access to app list. You can click on navi button - which holds no navigation software funny enough. Once inside the navi button you can hold on the screen and then it brings you up a app selection screen giving you option to add icons(still no gps map softwares)
Once connected to Internet apps start updating when you open them which is pretty cool.. There is an update option under andriod version screen which fails to find any update with an error(searches Internet for update or you can local upload file).
Overall I'm pretty impressed with this device and its speed. I was able to install google maps by browser. But once I closed it I could not open it again cause no icon to click on. Google maps ran a little bit sluggish but was acceptable. I'm now chasing the seller for a solution to google play store as the play store ask won't open after installing.
I was able to side load apps quite easily with the browser. Seems most work if the don't depend on play store or accounts being setup in google settings.
Synic gps software won't work as it wants to use playstore to download more files.
Es explorer works fine.
I don't think I will be able to get root access as there is no developer menu, but after clicking on firmware build number says you are already a developer
i have this one and have Google playstore, i have installed nova launcher without problem, all is fine
Hi, is it model rt01?
Do you have the same firmware 4.4.2 and specs?
Does it have an option to add google account inside android OS?
As mentioned above no google account in my OS which means no history in google maps. Very frustrating.
Could I also grab the seller as I my have to purchase a new one
Thank you if you can help
hello, i bought mine to this seller from Aliexpress, received in 8 days via DHL
http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/5-inch-Android-Mirror-Monitor-GPS-1080P-Digital-Video-Recorder-Rear-view-Camera/2021095296.html
The item has exactly the spécifications as described from top of topic and is a rt01 model, else allwinner A23 Inside, android 4.4.2 KitKat Inside
i have in native Google playstore and i have created my account without problem as soon as i powered up for the firs time the mirror
best regards
Thanks for your help appreciated.
Need to try a scab a firmware update as my seller refuses to speak with me now.
Might just buy what you got I think.
you can try to communicate via aliexpress with the store, seller is Mr wilson cao and ask him for a firmware, it's a pleasant person who respond to me very fast, also after my purchase for details. Try to say you're a friend of me (Superboost) and have same miror and you want the same OS, give a try, good luck.

at this time i'm trying to root for install some progs. Framaroot = KO, kingroot not able to connect at his cloud for exploit. At this time not result. If i can, also put a twrp or other and save firmware and tranfer to you? Have an idea of rooting ?
I have seen a update.zip file for root on the net. I was thinking doing it that way.
I'll give it another go as I was more focused on gapps.zip before.
Do you have development option to activate usb debugging? I don't have this option, so it makes it hard for me.
That's why I suggested an update.zip method.
If you have usb debugging (lucky you) then try http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
Also sent a msg to your seller. I think he would have to be very nice to give time for nothing being a business man
I have not the "usb debugging option" and no more the menu security for the possibility to "accept unknown sources" option. I think it will be impossible to root the item.....
tell me if you have a response from seller, have a good day
I was going to try to enable usb debugging by a terminal command but gave up after I couldn't install gapps
Try this maybe

hello, i have installed usb drivers of the mirror (hold down volume button and plug USB) and found an unknown device, i downloaded livesuit pack V1.9 and in the usb directory, it found the driver.
Now i can lauch livesuit but it wait for an .img image file for flash.... that's all for this time.... perhaps a way for future rooting?, have a good day
Your seller is very nice.
Thank you also.. Now have to work out how to install
This is a link I found on google

hello, happy for you, i expect you can flash this firmware and having opérationnal Google on it.
This seller is very nice, i put it a 5+++++ stars on aliexpress
have a good day
It's a puzzle..
You have an img file.. And Phoenixcard..
Putting in sdcard and selecting startup it puts the android OS on the sdcard and you boot from that so you can test the image I suppose.
Could not see any google account. Also I have alarm next to the radio icon. When I put this one on I got the browser instead.
Can I ask under settings about tablet is your build number 20150410 ?
in the info i have : rt01-eng 4.2.2 KVT49L 20150410 test-keys
It's seem that is the same build than downloaded
perhaps puting applications in "download" folder of the program will put them on the image for flashing ?
Thank you so much. You are a legend.
Its as I figured.
running the phoniexcard program you select Startup to run off sdcard.. which is way slow.
So I took the plunge and hit production and it setup my sdcard which in turn updated my unit.
Now its usable and I cant thank you enough!
have you all you want in ? Google account possible? the next challenge : rooting...
---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------
Because it's difficult to find this firmware, i put it on a Mega download
https://mega.co.nz/#!ZEwxzAyJ!HzowmA3-bVbcCdZpY7tHsQ5sV2kLQ8d6lwX6Y4Q0IXY
It include the program Phoenixcard for generate the bootable SD card for update firmware
for someone else who search
Yes rooting is on the cards now...
Just enjoying play store for the moment..
Plus I've noticed a huge increase in speed.
Large improvement in firmware need to keep eye open for future releases
