Default [Q] how to install android on HTC Td2

hello there im looking for a step by step guide on how to install android (the latest version) on the HTC touch diamond 2.

Im a complete noobie when it comes to custom OS's/ROM's and i find that alot of people explain the instructions fully, For example which files i must download where to put them etc etc

Basically im looking for someone to explain what files i must download, Where to put them etc.


Any help will be very much appreciated as like I have said i no nothing of custom OS's/ROMs but i used to have the T-mobile G-1 and i prefered and still prefer android to Winmo

so any help will be much appreciated.

I'm also a noob, but I figured it out.

1. download the other file on post #4. The "bundle."

2. open up windows explorer, if you're running windows, so you can open up the SD card. Make sure it's formatted in FAT32 (right click on the SD card in explorer and look through the properties, or just click "format."

3.unzip the bundle file, there should be a folder named "andboot" in it.

4. copy everything from "andboot" and copy it to the SD card.

5. Go into the folder, in all the junk you just copied, called Startup Config.

6. Find your model, "Topaz" and copy the statrup.txt file, not the other one.

7. Go back up to the top of the SD card and paste it there.

8. Disconnect the phone, and go in through file explorer and run the file Harnet.exe on the SD card.

It will take some time, but it should all boot up fine.

Watch the video, it should help, if not, ask more questions.

(it wouldn't let me post the link, so search youtube for TheDeadCPU and watch his video on XDAndroid 2.2)

Have you figured it out yet? It should ask you if you want to run Haret. I'm not sure exactly what you mean, could you explain?

I installed the XDANDROID 2.2 on my HTC DT2. It works fine the only BIG problem I have is I can't type in the terminal emulator for some unknown reason.

I tried everything and don't know what to try anymore.
