thank you for your work here walter79. i am trying to give my old rhod400 a new life with your android port and only wifi connection. are you going to post the fix? I just download cdma version and wifi won't stay on or see any networks.

Fix will only work with a new build. I need some time to compile it. Wpa-supplicant make some problems.

No.

Ranomez · May 16, 2012

aah, thanks, was thinking it would cause both used cwm

EDIT:still cant flash, the recovery gets flashed, but not wanting to go to recovery..............still remining at blue screen, also when i fastboot erase system i get error, cannot erase 1964 (bad block) and error cannot erase 1962 (bad block), any help, or is my nand broken or something, i have rhodium 100 uk, initial radio, should i update radio to latest or what, help me please?

EDIT2: also when trying to boot in recovery after flashing it here are the errors i get in the order they appear: ERROR: cannot read recovery_header ERROR: cannot read boot image header ERROR: could not do normal boot. Reverting to flashboot mode.

EDIT3:NVM, i managed to do this, it seems i need exactly the platform tools you posted, i had latest version installed from the sdk manager, but now i just cant get it to click in cwm, lol

EDIT4: i managed to install it and its runing and good, but i want to know 2 things: how to make the phone start in portrait not landscape, and how to recalibrate touch cause its kinda not good

ivwonka · May 16, 2012

I had the same auto rotation problem so I turned it off in settings so everything is portrait now. Get landscape by slide out keyboard. I am not sure if this was both kernel versions or just one because I tried them both.

Look for the screen calibration app in the first post of the omgb rom thread right under this one.

Edit: but be careful, I borked my calibration totally with it once on another nand rom and had to wipe it to fix.

allready tryed the calibration app, but it seems the effects arent permanent, when i reboot it is again badly calibrated, should i mount / and /system as rw before using the calibration app?

EDIT:also it seems the phone does not remember default choises for apps, i set the home button to open task manager allways and useless, cause every time i reboot the phone i must allways chose what to open with the home button (also as home button im talking about the dismiss button, not to make anyone confuse) also i set the call button to open go contacts and i allways need to select what to open after reboot, what is hapening, is it just my phone, or is it a known bug, or did i happen to have a bad flash, or what?

EDIT2: new bug for me: once i install and move to sd a lot of apps the phone starts doing random hot boots, but many, like its unusable right now........... >.<

EDIT3: nvm the hot boot issues, it seems that just as sd android cant run from my class 10 16gb sdcard so cant apps work from it, so i think il just have to turn back to the 8gb one.....must mention that even if its class 10 the 16gb one is verry slow at file transfers (i have no ideea why) but now with the 8gb one its smooth like an android phone (my dads desire hd in my example xD)

EDIT4: it seems the hot boots still happen and as i understand its from the os haveing a hard time loading all the apps on the sd, so now il try to use S2E with an sd-ext of 2gb and see what i get......

EDIT5: im not using this rom anymore, idk, those issues seems to only be in this rom, couldnt even get s2e working, omgb is just working perfect (ofc i cant move some apps to sd in that one, but im using an app in the market for doing that)

I had downloaded all of the components, and loaded the SD card, but when I run the Rhodium.nbh file from the bootloader, when it restarts I get nothing but a black screen. Currently using a Rhod 100 model.

Also, how can you tell of your ADB works before doing this procedure?

I know I am not stupid, having modified several phones and flashed many ROMs(currently running energy on this one, with the SD card running Froyo B1.), I just have a touch of ignorance.(yes, there is a difference)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

rafiek · May 21, 2012

how can I use this rom with haret? or is this not possible.
I just want to see if everything works OK so I can put it permantly on the phone using SDK.

Thanks,
Rafiek

If you aren't familiar with fastboot, this isn't the ROM for you just yet. Stick to SD builds for now. I'm sure it will be easier to flash in the future.

This is a NAND build, not an SD build. It only runs from NAND.

Well, ADB and linux commands used in Android development will be a new challenge for you. Normally setting up ADB and the correct drivers for your phone are not too difficult. You might have some problems though since the TP2 doesn't actually have any android drivers made for it by HTC. You are welcome to try and teach yourself and get your computer set up. It might take some tinkering if you have never done it, but it can be done. Here are a couple of threads that should give you enough information to start. Good luck!

Thank you.

I may be old, but always willing to learn. And the best way to learn is experimentation. Only one more question I have before I continue on is simple. With the nbh file, it is supposed to load some text on screen, and not be black, correct? If it is, that is where I have hit a dead end. I got ADB and Fastboot to work, and I do have drivers that will work with the phone.

Thanks.

The NBH is flashed like any WinMo ROM. Place NBH at root of SD. Name RHODIMG.NBH. Put phone in bootloader mode, should see NBH and flash as usual.

yeah, when following instructions from first post, at the point where you boot to bootloader while plugged into usb, the phone will ask if you want to flash (the screen might be grey, can't remember).

Make sure file is named correctly and also try dl nbh again. might be bad dl

edit: arrrghhh beat me to it. lol
