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...

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

There is newer system version

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.

[Build] ThaiDai Android Loader and Setup v2.3 [DISCONTINUED]

ThaiDai Android Loader is a program for Windows Mobile 6.1.
--------------------------------------------------------------
A few words why I stopped development:
I had to stop this project for personal reasons (reason called baby).
And this was easy because nearly nobody (or only a few < 10) used my loader.
But more important for me now: I do not see any improvements on bugs or missing features for Blackstone with Android, there is no real kernel developer community anymore. Sound problems, BT, battery and performance aren't funny if you want to use the device. For playing with Android it was ok and I learned a lot. But not for every day use. So I switched back to WinMo 6.1.
And yesterday I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note. Android rules!
--------------------------------------------------------------
(6.5 builds will not work because there is an error in writing files with Windows Mobile 6.5 which will appear when linux makes a fsck. So no support for 6.5
You can use builds like Damn Small Topix (Rapidshare works) or other 6.1 builds)
If you run into problems and want help, please provide me with the generated log files in folder "thaidaiboot/Logs".
No Logs = No help!
With the loader you can start Android or you can install Android without doing the usual things: no copy, no edit, no changes etc.
The setup (a normal cab-file) prepares the necessary files on your sd card automatically.
With the program you select what you want to do (install, backup, restore, change device, choose Android Build, edit startup.txt and build.prop) and press "Boot". That's it.
Program is installed in autostart folder and will automatically boot into last chosen OS after a number of seconds (default 100 s, you can change of course). Stopping countdown is easy: klick somewhere or change a value).
FRX07.1 build is included as default. More builds to come from tomorrow.

}
-------------------- v2.3, 2011/09/18 --------------------
Changelog: including 2.0/2.1/2.2 changes, starting with 2.3 ;-)
---- 2.3 ----
Editor for build.prop for each build
Explanations for entries in build.prop (just started to gather them)
additional logging information in window mobile stage of installation
selected builds stay in original folder (so no system.tgz in folder thaidaiboot) and are used in rootfs.img for installing /system
---- 2.2 ----
Timer option for booting into Android automatically after n seconds is working correctly now.
I added the option to select Apps for installation - but I do not change the apps delivered with the specific build. So this part ist only for your own flavour of apps you want to add.
Next big change: Editor for startup.txt. You can easily change the commandline parameters (like display density or OC or ...). The set parameters cannot be changed until now (I didn't see the necessarity).
Resolution changed to 480x800 and using it. So from now concentrating on Blackstone. Other 480x800 devices may work but still no guarantee.
Resolved some stupid error with choosing Kernels (I just found this one today, nobody else did before)
---- 2.0/2.1 ----
Changed format for builds to tgz. Now it is easier for me to prepare cwm based builds
New rootfs.img for installation and updates with tgz files
Added download links for build thunderbolt
In every build I checked I have to make changes to build.prop: double entries, wrong entries, obsolete entries, stupid entries, optimized entries. That's why I started adding a build.prop-editor to my program.
As default I still use NeoFroyo. (without GAPPS).
Added GAPPS as Update-Package (selected on first start, please install)
New setup package and installation file for windows mobile
For all typical devices like Blackstone, Diamond, Raphael, Rhodium, Topaz
New user interface in windows program
autostart into Android after n seconds (changeable)
new UI (Hubs)
switched from comboboxes to lists for selection (better information on first look)
new ts-calibration for Topaz (thanks to Aggy in Neopeeks forum)
changing Hubs color possible (just for fun)
removed Apps from system.ext2 to folder APPS, so the different Builds will be much smaller and I have to install and upload Apps only one time
with apps in folder Apps the selection of Apps in loader program will soon be possible
Downloads:
One big cab file (about 95 MB) including everything.
Setup for ThaiDai Android Loader v2.3 with FRX07.1
Bugfix for Exe, please copy to your program files folder with thaidailoader, will give a complete new cab file next days.
Some more builds:
Setup for Build Froyo Blue
Prepare SD card:
You need 4 primary partitions on sd card (I use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition)
All sizes here are only examples. Start with them, feel free to change.
All partitions have to be "primary" (ignore warning in Windows)
Partition 1: FAT32 (at least put folder "thaidaiboot" from zip here)
Partition 2: EXT2, about 150 MB (used for Android system partition)
Partition 3: EXT2, about 250 MB (or more for Android data partition)
Partition 4: EXT2, about 100 MB (for Android cache partition)
Size of partition 1: [Size of sd card] - [Size of 3 EXT2]
Installation:
Delete folder thaidaiboot on sd card and deinstall Loader program before using this setup (copy cab to sd card and start it).
- copy first big cab to sd card
- execute cab and start setup
- install on sd card (not on internal memory!)
- start "ThaiDai Android Loader" from start menu
- select your options and boot into Android
Adding new builds:
- copy cab for build to sd card
- execute cab and start setup
- install on sd card (not on internal memory!)
- start "ThaiDai Android Loader" from start menu (build will be copied - takes some time)
- select different build and install (Please start program one time before adding builds!)
Warning:
- Do not edit or change files in folder "thaidaiboot" on your own. Use the program.
- I hope it will install now in all language versions of Windows Mobile. I tested it only with an english installation. And maybe some foreign fonts (like Thai ;-)
aren't recognized by haret.exe or linux.

Typical Tasks:
For a new and clean installation (data is deleted) choose: "backupSystem", "backupData", "makeClean", "installSystem"
For an update of your system (no data changed) choose: "installSystem"
You can always choose to start with backups first and choose: "backupSystem", backupData"
Tasks with "fix..." are only necessary for updates I will post here
Select Device [Blackstone]
When you select another device, the program checks if there is a "startup.txt" in the folder of this device. If not found, nothing is changed. When a "startup.txt" is found it is copied to the folder "thaidaiboot" and you can start your device.
If a "ts-calibration" is found, it is copied. Please be careful: I do not know if all ts-calibration files are ok.

I don't have any problem with your thread, in fact, I'm glad you made it work
This is a communitary effort, and I'm only an average tester, so couldn't be more far from angry for this.
Thank you!

Hi ThaiDai,
Thanks for sharing your work.
Quick questions:
- have you modified the Roofts.img from FRX07 adding CMW? or modified the roofts from Neopeek CMW 1.8?
- What is the size of the cache partition you recomend as it is now? Neopeek CMW 1.8 recommends between 50-100mb.
I'll try as soon as I finish working.
Brgds

Downloaded the last version of rootfs.img from XDAndroid rootfs Build Service and used this as a starting point.
As far as I understand we do not need a cache for the Android build FRX07 anymore. But for CWM (and his logs) we need. So I will try later to flash the next version with a very small cache partition size.
But first I want to try and repair (if necessary) the scripts, so that other devices can be used (tried?) with this build.
Wait and see...

Update to Version 0.99 (Full Install and Update Only)
First post updated with new version 0.99.
Included download links for Full Install (complete npkboot folder) and Update only (zip-file inside npkboot).
And it should be possible to test this build on other devices now. Tried to restore the multi-device-usability. But no garanty.

Tried the previous version and worked nice and fast. (with cache partition of 50 Mb)
I'll download and try the new version now!

Please try if the Update Only works. I have to check myself later. Didn't do this right now. Thanks

Thanks man, the first Android that works on my Blackstone. I tried several builds CWM and not CWM, but this seems to work w/o probs - so far

Please give these credits to the developers of XDAndroid. I didn't do very much here, only made a CWM build from the original ext2 based build.
But I'm happy you can use Android on Blackstone with this one.

BTW, remember to update SU binary fron superuser app, and better if you don't reuse app data from previous builds. It will surely make your wifi fail, probably other things.

I've been using the XDAndroid FRX07 CWM by ThaiDai 0.99 build from last nigth, and so far so good.
Performance is quite good, batery life acceptable, and the problems are the same as XDANDROID FRX07 running on the Sd (BT, audio stuttering and wifi disconnecting intermittent).
questions:
- have you tried to change the behaviour of the red button using spareparts? it didn't worked for me.
- have someone use the old fancy widget (the one HTC weather clock replica)? it does not work.

Sorry if this question sounds stupid. I already tried to read the info in neopeek but still don't fully understand it, so anybody that is willing to explain to me, thanks!
I have been using the FRX07 and the previous version of XDAndroid in the normal build (one folder in the SD Card). What is the benefit and the difference of running it in this CWM way? Is it better performance, better battery life, or better management?

Some have claimed better performance, but in my testing it's actually worse.
I guess one benefit with having a dedicated data partition is USB mass storage (should) work properly. Other than that it's a lot of work for very little reward - perhaps if you jump builds a lot, CWM has a nifty backup/restore feature built-in to it...

I was referring to a problem posted above, sorry. The thing is I got some nasty problems (in fact had to reinstall again) because I tried to restore some data+apps with TB and it ruined wifi.

Hi Eodun, what do you think the benefits of the CWM build of FRX07?
Its really faster, better battery life, etc? Can you give some insight?

It could be faster,you'd get usb storage to work,battery life shouldn't change.

Release Notes
2.1.0 Release Notes
Here we are, release 2.1 "Hammerhead".
Thanks to the hard work of lowtraxx, we have been able to fix all of the layout issues with regards to the broken framework-res that we had to use in the last rom.
Lowtraxx has also fixed up all of the european 3g device files and languages, so the signal bar should work fine on your euro 3g device now.
I have also resolved the issues with the Google app updates. However for this fix, you need to wipe your device before you install the rom.
Making a come back in this release is the native screenshot feature. To enable this, go into Settings > Display and then enable "Screenshot". To take a screenshot, hold down the recent applications key to take a screenshot.

System now gives storage control thru status bar icon and in Settings / Storage
Unmount MicroSD, remove, put in another one for working Hot Swap
Automatically mount USB Host storage (unmount still broke do to borked vold.fstab)
All Android media services scan both internal and MicroSD for media (Gallery, Music, etc)
new native Transformer file explorer accessable thru status bar to explore all mounted storage
Unfortunately, USB Mass Storage is still broke. (It's turning out to be far more complex than it should be)
Entire rom re-signed with test key due to manifest changes for storage port. All services work 100% (Google music beta, Market, etc)
Implemented a variety of init.d scripts with "Tiamat Control" flags
Enable features by moving flags (/data/tiamat_controls) in or out of "unused" folder

When charging, it will now alternate between the battery percentage in the middle and a charging symbol.
Version 1.0 - Update 3 (Busybox fix)
Fixed the dependency that the ramdisk had on busybox, specifically run-parts.
Version 1.0 - Update 2 (charging light)
Enabled the led charging light in the ramdisk as per popular request.
Version 1.0 - 3g fix
Fixed permissions in /system/bin. This was causing issues with 3g connections.
Replaced framework-res.apk with a less modified version. There is no SIP calling and sms now, but the activation screens work now.
Tips
Turning the charging light offUsing root explorer, or other file manager that gives you enough control, move the "enableChargingLight" file in /data/tiamat_controls into the directory /data/tiamat_controls/not_in_use​
Automatically installing applications when you flash the rom:
In the zip file, under the directory "data" there is a directory called "tiamat_first_boot_install". You can place all of your apk files that you want installed when you first boot in there. This is useful for applications such as Thumb Keyboard and Titanium Backup​

Tiamat Rom 2.1 Hammerhead Mod packs.
None yet!

last one...

For those who prefer the stock battery icon and stock UA-string, be sure to check out uncon's modified framework.

Awesome! Looking forward to it, good job guys

Can't wait to see it!

Cool!
I only hope they fixed the bug where there are 2 battery percentages showing in the quick settings menu. If not, I'll have to go back to stock battery images.

Yes, it works on my EU Xoom.

I see that the 2.1 ROM is showing support for OpenVPN. Is this any different to the support provided in the 2.0.1 ROM?
I am using 2.0.1 and have never found out how to use OpenVPN with it. Can anyone offer advice on this? In Windows implemenattion of OpenVPN, there is a conf file that needs to be edited to suit local requirements. Although I have found the OpenVPN app in 2.0.1, I don't see any sign of a conf file.
Thank you
Gordon

Wow do you guys ever get any sleep? Time to start my backups going.

okay this rom work for Singapore's version as well, however steps in

[APP] Ubuntu Install Guide - Archos Gen8/9 Testers wanted

I have working on a project in the form of an app, which guides you through the installation of Ubuntu within android via chroot. It includes a ubuntu 10.10 image I have been working on which includes lots of program to allow users to develop program/scripts etc within Ubuntu on there phone/tablet.
However I have I have yet to get much testing on this device and would like more feedback from users!
Please post your device/kernel/rom along with what did and didn't work, so I can draw up what I need to change in the next release of the app/ubuntu build.

Ubuntu Installer Paid 2.0 Cooked and ready to be tasted
Well tasted by my beta testers anyway...but yes 2.0 for the Paid app is ready! so long as there are no more bugs the new update will be loaded to the market tomorrow.
Note that once the new update is on-line the sale will end, so if you have not already grap your paid copy for 20%!!
The change log for the new version is:
*New V5 small image, featuring fixed Java, even more lightweight (now around 1.2GB free) and user can set screen size on boot
*PAID New Build guide which shows you how to build your own Ubuntu images
*Brand new UI To make the whole thing more useable

The free version should then be updated by the end of next week and will include the new UI and the new V5 small image and Gnome mapping fix.
Backtrack will then be updated shortly after that to include pretty much everything in the change log above (apart from the small image, there is still no small image for backtrack)

My method is different to what you have said, it is not running ubuntu natively but within android.
If you follow the install guide in the app it will tell you all you need to know.
but basiclly you need to create a folder on the internal memory called ubuntu (e.i sdcard/ubuntu) and place both my boot script and image in there.
Then if you have the paid app use the one click boot to boot ubuntu, or if using the free app enter the commands into the terminal app as described in the app.
The ubuntu boot script urukdroid has already is for booting ubuntu natively, so this can be completely forgotten about.

Hey, I purchased the premium app and followed the guide to create my own .img, but I removed the old one before extracting the init.sh script of yours, and was hoping you could post a link to it or send it to my email (which I can pm you or email you directly). I tried downloading the img again, 5x infact, but each time the archive was corrupted. Maybe there is something wrong with my connections or something, but that script is all I need anyway.

Android destinaton is 4 GB SD card and this is problem. I have got rooted android 2.3.1 firmware, and I have changed destination of installation applications to SD card, but it still won't download ubuntu from site (to small memory), when I'm using your android application.

[APP] Samsung Galaxy S II Toolkit Beta V2.4 *ICS ROOT READY!!!*

NOTICE - Just wanted to let everyone know that the toolkit might not be updated for a while. Not because I am not working on it. But I am switching programming languages and improving a lot of aspects of the toolkit. Mostly because of the feedback I have gotten. I am going to be doing the toolkit in a way that will save you all a lot of hassle with installing and downloading, and the next major release will also auto update. I will however be doing bug fixes until the next release. I want to thank all of my followers and donors for the continuous feedback and support. I do this all for you.
Thanks,
Ajster1989

You need to delete the T989 folder to use the ICS Root Update... Just for tonight till I get a real update out tomorrow.
Here is what it can do so far:
- At start it checks to see if USB Drivers is installed, if it's not installed will download and installs Kies for you. (This insures that your USB Drivers are correctly installed)
- At start it checks for USB debugging connection to ADB
- Phone selection menu to chose which SGS II phone you have, and set's tool kit up for that phone.
- Only downloads the files for the phone you select (Currently only T989)
- Guides you through installing CWM
- Guides you through Rooting your device
- Guides you through Flashing a Custom ROM
- Guides you through Flashing back to STOCK (Auto downloads when needed)
- Reboots Recovery and Download
- Side Load APK's
- Keeps track of your current phone, last flashed recovery, last flashed rom.
Want a feature that I haven't added, request it in the comments or PM me and it might be added to my next release.
Features to come in next release:
- I will be adding support for ROMs to be flashed through ODIN.
- I will be looking into adding a menu of different ROMs to download
- I will be adding Super.Wipe Script, will be pushed with all ROMs. (Waiting for Dev Permission)
- I will be adding also the counter reset script as an option.
Please let me know of any bugs.
Known Bug's so far:
-none (let's find some)
The more feedback I get the quicker I will have a better version, will be adding support for the rest of the family of SGS II's too.

First of all, The laptop I am using is a Vista machine. When launching the toolkit, I was receiving an error. I was able to resolve by replacing the included cmd.exe with the one in my system32 folder.
Now I attempted to launch again, and seem to be stuck on the "Please plug your phone in to continue" message. Kies has not previously been installed. I tried replugging the phone, but no go, seems to be hung on this screen.
That said, thanks for packaging all the files together, I can manage from this point (I know what to do), just figured id provide some feedback.

Yes this is a known bug(sorry for that) I have included the kies download link above, please install from there and re-run the program, Also note that if your running on a 32-bit maching there is another kies bug that doesn't allow it to advance.
Install kies, if that doesn't work let me know. Tonight I will be fixing both the kies bug and the 32-bit bug and I will message you when I have it uploaded.
Thanks
Also can you send me the vista file that you used, so I can include it in the next release... I don't have any vista computers lol 4

I don't have any Vista boxes either, just rooting the phone as a favor for my dad, and his laptop is running Vista... I was able to install Kies from Samsung's site without issue. Also, after double checking, this thing is 32 bit as well, so that is probably the same problem you had mentioned in your OP.
Thanks for the quick reply. Sent you a PM about the cmd.exe for Vista.

Well yes the program is 32-bit but the issue is with the kies installation check...
I only programed it to check for it in the ProgramFiles(x86) folder.
I need to als have it check for it in the same location but without (x86) for 32-bit computers.
I tested it out on a 32-bit machine and it didn't progress to the next command.

Thanks for this.The more tools the better.

Nice! Considering the fact that I hard bricked my device the first time I tried to install CWM, I'll probably give this a whirl. I'm on W7 x64 - will I have any compatibility issues?

I fixed all compatibility issues in the release I just uploaded, but it originally only worked in w7 x64 lol cause that what I have too...

Will this also work with Galaxy S II X T-989D?

The files included are for the T989, will add support soon, need to perfect scripting first before I add other phones.

Root.zip glitch
The CWM flash worked perfectly, but when I tried the root.zip, it gave an error. (Status=0) Is this due to the OS (2.3.6) or something else?
NVM: It was due to SD Card size, if the card is too small, the root.zip wont work properly.

what size is too small, so I can put a warning i'm my program.
Thanks

And now the root.zip file is gone from the external sd card...wth. I deleted the tool app and started over and its not installing the root file again.

Ok, I got the root.zip on my sd card....but I'm still getting the error "aborted" message My sd card is plenty big enough, it's a 8gb, empty, nothing on it, I put it in for this specifically. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you still at stock?
Which CWM are you using....
