Thanks for the awesome thread!
I finally decided to give this a try, but I had some issues. I've tried the troubleshooting steps, and I've read about half the thread, but no luck. The best I've done is to get to the bootup screen with the little droids spelling "XDANDROID," but that just keeps repeating ad infinitum.
I'm a pretty inexperienced user, so I'm sure this is my fault. If someone could just clarify a few points for me, it would be a big help.
1. Startup.txt: I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2, so my startup.txt file should be the one for Rhodium 400, right?
2. 7zip? Reading the instructions below is a little confusing to me.

a. Download & run cab from storage card root, use a file manager (total commander) to install to SD (Storage card)! Do NOT install to main memory.
b. OR, download the .rar/zip file (normally to PC, but if you have rar extractor application on TP2 OK), copy files over to either the root (base level, no directories) of the SD, or make a “andboot” directory.
4. Copy your startup.txt from the startup dir (\sdcard\andboot\startups\RHOD), to the same directory as haret.exe. (after you've unzipped the build & copied onto your SD card, with 7zip (google or look for xdandroid site link to it))

For option A, I can't find a .cab to run. What am I missing?
I tried option B. First I just extracted the file by right-clicking and extracting to the SD card. Then I copied the startup.txt in Windows Explorer. When that didn't work, I tried using 7zip on my PC to extract to the SD card and to copy the startup.txt. Is that right? I guess it's just not clear to me why I need to use 7zip, and which steps I use it for. Do I use it to extract and copy, or just to copy the startup.txt?
3. Should it take a really, really long time to install? Once I get to the step where I run haret.exe, it takes at least 30 minutes to run and get to the XDANDROID screen. Is that normal?
Sorry for the dumb questions, and TIA for the help!
