Hello everyone!

Perhaps you know me, I'm trying to revive the NANDROID on our beloved HTC Thouch HD, aka Blackstone.

I want to thank to XDAndroid developers team & detule, they create & make it possible/available with pathes on gitorious or others site for the SD kernel source and a GBX tree!
Thank to Arganis31 for the great work on Blackstone LK!!! { LK source, soon on the git from Arganis31 }
Of course deepest of respect to [ACL] for everythings!

And everyone who i forget!!!

Please note :

- I don’t take any responsibility for any damage to your device! So use at your own risk!!!
- My kernel source is here: https://gitorious.org/linux-msm-blac-nand/linux-msm-blac-nand
- Change Log – 2 post ; Install – 3 post
- This is not an official GBX release, rather something I compiled from the current GBX tree.
- This is work in progress, so there may be minor or major problems
- Please attach your getlogs if you have some problem, thank you

Main problem is:

- Shutdown / reboot { just hang on } not working need reset or battery pull out.
- 3D not really good so if i enabled HW3D than i get a blank screen :/ { gralloc or kernel pmem issue??? }
- Any others are working, like SD version or just better.

I am a only who are working on the Blac Nand Kernel & setup the ROM right, Im updating g3rm0 git source with some good stuff, I can say that now i got it a lot of better funkcionality on nand. Nearly everythings updated on source. For example new acoustic code working on nand and audio fully working, with BT audio too!!!

Any help are welcome and thanked If you think that's right.

Install

You need charging your battery minimum to 70% in Windows Mobile before starting everythings !!!
do not play with less value if you dont know what do you do!!!

* All files ready which you need on downloads place.

Installation guide from Windows Mobile to the Android:
Thanks to FazZ & Nick Brown! Great work!

1. Flash the latest HardSPL from OliNex
2. Extract the 'adb files & fastboot.exe' files to a folder and grab the latest recovery-XY.img from Necessary files and older downloads. Place it in the same older and rename it to recovery.img
3. Format the microSD card fully as FAT32
4. Copy the 'BlacIMG.NBH' file and your selected ROM (zip) you wish to use to the root of the microSD
5. Boot in TriColour mode (Power button and Volume down button)
6. Whilst in the TriColour mode, connect the Blackstone to a USB port ('Serial' should now say 'USB')
7. Run 'BlackstoneRUUAdvanced' and select the 'Task 29' which is full wipe of the Blackstone
8. Once completed, insert the microSD card and reboot into the TriColour mode again
9. The Blackstone will auto-flash-install (after key confirmation) the 'BlacIMG.NBH' on the microSD card
10. The 'BlacIMG.NBH' must NOT be flashed via Windows using the RUU tool (it will only fail)
11. Once flashed with the 'BlacIMG.NBH' it will reboot to a new Fastboot screen (blue background)
Note: the phone won't automatically reboot, you have to reboot it manually
12. After a short time the Blackstone in Fastboot mode with enter a USB connect ready state
13. Now connect the Blackstone to your Windows OS and open a CLi/Command prompt
14. Within CLi go to the directory where you place the 'adb files & fastboot.exe' files (from step 2)
15. Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this will flash install the custom CWR)
Note: The "recovery.img" file has to be in the same directory as fastboot.exe. It is in the "Necessary Files" download folder of the 1st post.
16. Then type: fastboot boot recovery.img (this will reboot your Blackstone into CWR)
17. In CWR use the Volume keys to move up and down, and the Power button to select
18. First thing to do in the recovery screen is press Volume-Up, Volume-Down, Volume-Up, then you will see a message at the bottom of the screen that says
'Back menu button enabled' , after power button using for the selecting in the menu!
19. You are now finally ready to install your chosen ROM that is on your microSD
20. Once installed, let it reboot into Android OS which takes about 5 minutes on the first run
21. Once the Blackstone has settled within the OS (you can see the typical Android home screen), reboot
22. This time round, it should only take about a minute to start and you can now start using you NAND ROM


Installation guide from before versions or another Android to the New Android:

1. You need make one reboot and pressing power key on fastboot screen - this will booting your Blackstone into CWR)
2. In CWR use the Volume keys to move up and down, and the Power button to select
3. First thing to do in the recovery screen is press Volume-Up, Volume-Down, Volume-Up, then you will see a message at the bottom of the screen that says
'Back menu button enabled' , after power button using for the selecting in the menu!
4. You are now go to mounts & storage option and format boot and system partitions
5. Back to the Main options in CWR and make one wipe data/factory reset!
6. You are now finally ready to install your chosen ROM that is on your microSD
7. Once installed, let it reboot into Android OS which takes about 5 minutes on the first run
8. Once the Blackstone has settled within the OS (you can see the typical Android home screen), reboot
9. This time round, it should only take about a minute to start and you can now start using you NAND ROM

Hey, i dont want to be ungrateful, youre doing a great job, but the most important fact is to get wifi working, without wifi there is nearly no sense for android...

Hi, the installation is to complecated for me (for the moment) (also beacause I'm a french speaker). So as soon as it will be easier for me to understand, i'll try it.

Thank you for bringing balckstone back to live. Keep going.

Thanks, that's what I thought but just wanted to make sure.
My blackstone isn't in my sig because it is my "play" device.:D But if this ROM is stable and can be used as my regular phone, I may finally replace my Rhod210 running WM6.5 and make that one my play phone.

This ROM is stable, a lot faster than SD ROMs and as some functions that even work better than on SD! (like bluetooth) If you can survive w/o wifi, you're good to go! :D

Wifi is good to have, but I can live without it if I must. BT, GPS, phone & battery life are crucial to me for navigation and music in my car so if those 2 work and 3G, I can give it a real try.

then yes, you are good to go :)
the only thing that can go wrong is battery life but try it out and see for yourself.
