Android NAND Rom Guide on RHOD phones for Noobs 12-15-12

[wizardknight]

Thanks for the help. I suspected that the process would be similar without the wiping, but wanted confirmation. I have read pretty much the whole thread on the ROM and did a bunch of searching but didn't have full clarity on what to do. Is it just the entire process in the first post, except skipping step 14? Does anything else need to be skipped? I don't want to screw it up. Thanks in advance.

The build and kernel is from your thread. The kernel version number I posted is exactly what it says in Android's About phone under kernel version.

It is always best to post questions about a specific rom in that rom's thread.

Boot into recovery, install kernel upgrade zip. Profit.


Of course you won't get any new changes baked into the rom files...
If you want the newest rom, wipe and start over from scratch.


I didn't recognize that name because my install files don't use that naming scheme, and it is a version I have not run in a long time.

First of all - Thank you very very much for the guide Wizardknight, and also to all the hard working members that make all the magic possible to mod our devices.

I am replying to make a suggestion regarding my experience. It took me about 2 to 3 hours to read and learn about GBX on TP2, and install it successfully. As a disclosure I have been flashing my winmo phones for the last 5 or so years, so not a noobi with winmo ROMs.

The biggest snag I ran into was after successfully completing step 16 and starting 17. I dint understand why I wasnt seeing an option to install the ROM from sd card as instructed in step 17. I repeated the whole process and ended up the same, where all I saw was on my phone was the "blue miniPooploader. "

The step not mentioned on the guide and I found out from member walter79 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566955
was that

After successfully completing step #16, then power off and then power back on your phone. as soon as the "blue miniPooploader" screen begins press and keep held down the power button until you feel the phone vibrate, as explained towards the end of the guide here

Again many thanks to Wizardknight for putting together this guide and all the links to the tools needed. And equally grateful to Walter 79, as well as the netire community.

What did you mean at 0% that the phone its not unlocked?, you mean like the Network unlock?

 

[arrrghhh]

What did you mean at 0% that the phone its not unlocked?, you mean like the Network unlock?

No, HSPL or bootloader unlock.

If you can flash custom WinMo ROM's, you should be fine. If you've never flashed a custom WinMo ROM, then you need to do the HSPL process. Make sure you follow the one for your device.

If you are not having trouble, then you don't need to do troubleshooting.:victory:

edit: nevermind fiddled with it, dont know what i did but it worked

,Bros u did not tell us how u made it to work,because i have this RHOD*** 32m that has refused booting into fastboot mode(tricolour screen) but my Rhod 4oo and other Rhod i have met worked out very fine with this Tutorial,Pls if i can know what u did i would know how to mould Android GB to this OLD WINMO.

Fastboot ≠ Tricolor screen.

Battery

Hey,
I really really appreciate what you have done so far. You made a great job. Because i know that it takes lots of time and effort. And first time, i have another operating system then Winmo on my Rhodium.

I just performed the guide step by step easily and now i have NAND. But i have some troubles about it.

1) The Battery. I mean my battery life is like 5 hours even 3G(another problem ) is not open. It also charges from computer like 15 mins Also i tried to look "What is using the battery?". And "Cell Standby" and "Phone idle" use most of them. So i think, low brightness wont for me.Why is it, did i do something wrong or how can i fix it?
2) 3G. It doesnt work for me. But the Wi-Fi works. I opened roaming from settings but when i check it in settings-about phone-status-roaming, it says not roaming. How can i fix it ?

Thanks in advance

Best regards from Turkey

1. Battery is bad in Android. It doesn't charge the battery to 100% properly, so it seems to charge very quickly. This also makes for a quick drain.

2. You're obviously GSM. Please state this, and which RHOD you are using. Assuming these things, make sure the APN is configured correctly. I don't have GSM, but I know the APN needs to be correct in order for data to connect.

Good luck.

Probably this. As noted in the guide, the guide was developed using a RHOD400. I only have access to the RHOD400. I do not see these issue with the RHOD400.

Also please post rom specific questions in that rom's thread. We don't know what your hardware is or what rom you are loading.

Thank you.

Thank you for interest firstly ,

1) So you use like that too ? there is nothing to do.

2) its RHOD100. when i go "settings- wireless and network settings- mobile networks- APNs", its just black screen right now :/

Depends on the rom and the phone. As I noted before post specific rom questions in that rom's thread.
We don't know what rom you are using, and this is not the place for those kind of questions.

2) its RHOD100. when i go "settings- wireless and network settings- mobile networks- APNs", its just black screen right now :/

So add the APN and it will not be ...

1) i read as new battery will work for it. also i saw a few links to buy it. so i will try

2) adding APN is worked. Solved


Thank you

Fastboot ≠ Tricolor screen.

,yeah wizardnight ,i I have not got the blue screen in this model(RHOD**** 32m.
Instead it keeps on Rebooting.

Hi, I want to try another nand, but when I get to point 9, it will start booting the last nand, so I don't get the needed response on point 13.

Your guide worked for me the first time, but now... I don't know what I am doing wrong. I followed your guide by every single word.

I'm confused. If you've already got LK on the device, then why even come back to this guide?

If you want to flash another ROM, go to CWM and flash the new ROM. Make sure to do a factory reset before booting.

In other words, skip to step 17.

This↑.

The guide was written to help you install your first android rom. If you want to do the whole thing all over again, then you need to go install WM stock and start over. Otherwise just boot into recovery, wipe, and flash.

Okay, now I am confused.
I thought it was by pressing volume down while powering up?
So I don't need an usb connection to pc?
What is LK?
How do I do a factory reset?
How do I access CWM?
How do I access recovery?

I needed this noob guide, so I have my outcoming now: I am a noob!

 

[arrrghhh]

Okay, now I am confused.

Ehm, let's break this down...

I thought it was by pressing volume down while powering up?

I think you hold POWER when booting to get into CWM.

So I don't need an usb connection to pc?

Not to flash an Android ROM, after you've gotten LK installed (which you do, it's the blue miniPoopLoader screen). You just need the ROM you want to flash on the SD card, boot to CWM, and flash said ROM.

What is LK?

It stands for LittleKernel, it's the bootloader which replaces the WinMo bootloader so we can install Android natively.

How do I do a factory reset?

From CWM.

How do I access CWM?
How do I access recovery?

To be clear, CWM is recovery. ClockWorkMod == a custom recovery for Android devices.

There's a few ways. The easiest is using an app like QuickBoot. adb works too:

adb reboot recovery

Last would be to hold POWER when booting - although this can be tricky, as you have to start holding POWER at the right time - too early or too late, and the device will boot normally.

Ooookey, loding volume down brings me to the tri-color screen, but that doesn't help, right?

Thanks for explaination.

Check, I have done that.

From CWM.

So I have only to get into CWM...

recognized that...awful.

No way, can't get an usb connection working.
