Having problems to install android

---

hi there
i really need your help. i'm trying to install android on my HTC TyTnII. But i'm having problems to install.
can you please help me to get Android run on my Kaiser?

Right now i'm running the windows mobile 6.1. I want to install Android as a secondary OS.

i followed this installation guide.

androidonhtc.com/wiki/Installing_Android

1. I went to this link to download files.

androidonhtc.com/wiki/Latest_Builds_%28Kaiser%29

2. I downloaded the basefiles-20091116.zip

vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/basefiles-20091116.zip

3. Unzipped this zip file. Renamed the default-kaiser.txt to default.txt and moved the whole folder "android" to my storagecard.

4. then i downloaded the haretinstall.zip and unzipped that file as well. I moved the folder "andboot" to my storagecard.

sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2010-02-20/haretinstall.zip/download

5. then i downloaded the polymod_2.1g.zip and unzipped that file. I moved the file "androidinstall.tar" to my storagecard as well.
ponack.net/poly/2.1g/polymod_2.1g.zip

6. i clicked than on "haret.exe" and clicked on Run. the android started to load but then it stops. It gives me this error.

Can anyone help me out to solve the problem?

Do i need to do some partition? if yes...how can i do it? i'm using a windows xp OS.

This is how my SD-storagecard looks like:
/[android]
/[android]/[andboot]
/[android]/androidinstall.tar

Thank you for your support.

The androidinstall.tar should be in andboot folder, with all the haret files. andboot must be in root of SD card.

/
/andboot


If you were installing to nand it'd be :

/KAISimg.nbh
/andboot

You do not need to partition the SD card, just make sure it is formatted FAT32, not FAT

hi zenity

thanks for the response. I did what you said. Still having the same problem with the same error message.

how do i check format of my sd card? i've never formated it before. it's the original sd card.

Depends if you have an sd card reader and adaptor for micro-sd, if you do you can just format it in windows.

It's likely that it's formatted FAT, most new pre-formatted micro-sd are formatted FAT as standard, how are you transferring files to the sd at the moment?

i connected my htc with microsoft activesync then transfered the files via windows explorer.

i'm still struggeling to get android run on my device.

are those steps correct? or am i doing something totally wrong?

those installation guide are too complicated for me. the instructions are mostly for total replacement of the OS. But i would like to keep my windows mobile because of tomtom navigator. I want to make both OS run with Dual booting function.

if you are so kind...can you please guide me to make this run? I'll be thankful for that.

Best way to format an SD card is to use a card reader and micro-sd adaptor, I've never tried to format an SD with winmo or through activesync, so I'm not sure how easy that is.

I have transferred the files via activesync before, and that works fine, but your SD card must be FAT32, winmo probably does not know the difference, I'm sure there must be a way to format the card FAT32 in winmo, but I cannot think of one, I'll look into it though. I think total commander is able to show what type of format the sd card is, but don't know if it's able to format it.

All the Haret files plus the androidinstall.tar must be in the andboot folder on the SD card, you do not need any other files or folders on the card, but it should not matter if there are any.

You will need an SD card of at least 1GB, 2Gb is better.

I know the guide is meant for Nand install, but does show the installer screen part clearly, and the install procedure is the same for nand and haret, and shows the installer screen you should see when installing on FAT32, (haret).

Download Card Export or WM5Storage to mount the card. Then format it like you would do with a usb stick.

me too

I get the same error.


I have haretinstall and androidinstall.tgz in the /andboot folder.

I renamed default.txt to default.txt.no
I renamed default-kaiser.txt to default.txt
I edited default.txt to point to zImage-eclair
I tried with the regular zImage

I wait till it ask for dpad or vol up button then I press and hold dpad. It never recognizes? Or thats my guess from what has been said here.

right clicking on the drive from within windows using a card reader it says fat32.

When I press dpad it prints a ^@ to the screen, ironically it does the same key for ok. I don't see how I can hold down the vol up/down key cause its a jog wheel? Should I try dpad down?

Volume Up Is the RIght SOftKey. FOr some build only that work.

@zenity: i manage to format my miniSD to fat32. it was fat before. but the problem is still there..does anyone else know how to deal with this?

as tyler51773 already mentioned..i fi start the "haret" which is stored in "andboot" folder it request to hold down the vol button. although i pressed the vol. button,,,it still doesn't work. getting the same error message like tyler51773


seems like i'm totally lost. someone please help!!!
