Android for CDMA Touch Pro 2 (RHOD400/RHOD500)
Instructions- Thanks to flyers2114, there is a single zip file you can download that has all the files included. Otherwise, the long instructions are below
- Download babijoee's latest XDANDROID release, and unzip it to the root of your SD card.
- Download the latest kernel package from glemsom's kernel autobuild site. Untar the file (it's like unzipping -- 7-zip in windows can do this), rename zImage.xxxxxxxxx to zImage, and replace all zImage and modules* files in the root of your sdcard with these.
- Download the rootfs zip attached to this post and unzip it. Move the file (should be called rootfs.img) to the root of your SD card, replacing the XDANDROID rootfs.
- Download the startup.txt attached to this post, and copy it into the root of your SD card.
- Using File Explorer, navigate to the Storage Card and run HaRET.exe to boot Android
- Note that if you are upgrading from 95civic's builds, you should remove all Android-related files from your SD card except for data.img

2010-03-07: New version of the RIL: should be more reliable (i.e. not booting into Airplane mode as often), and Market now works! Also thanks to NeoMatrixJR, some keymap fixes
