I wear out USB ports on TP2's. last weekend wouldn't charge on some of my usb cables... a sign the port is going again. So I went & got another, which actually had a bad mic & I got another the very next day.

AT THE SPRINT STORE, on an UNLOCKED New TP2 (refurb), I popped in my SD card & ran haret.exe with the stock windows file explorer. It booted fine, XDANDROID WORKED. I then ran Angry birds, just to show a guy I knew. 1 day later, I ran it again on a different new TP2 from the Sprint store.. that's 2 new TP2's.

The employee I showed is cool.. & still remembers me from some of the stuff he was so impressed with I got running/on my old Sprint Mogul days... probably not a good idea to just start showing off Android stuff & non stock ROM's if you don't know / have a previous good relationship with one of the reps...

I then ran Angry birds to show him...

Point being?

If I can walk into a sprint store, take a new Sprint phone/build out of the box & pop my SD into their unlocked stock ROM phone & everything runs fine (frx07), then most certainly anyone (especially with a sprint phone), should be able to do the same on yours.

There is less than a slight chance in he77 in my mind, that I can't take any one of your TP2's, pop in my SD & run android fine... worst cast senario, have to burn back on, a stock ROM...

Point being specifically, issue between the keyboard & chair. Not the build.

Take the 1 gig SD that came with it, hook up via SD, copy the stuff to a directory (\sd) on your PC, reformat with tools list above) Now you have 1 good test SD.

Go to discount computer store & buy another, 2 gig... shouldn't cost $4. While there pick up a class 4 4 gig & lately a class 6 or class 10 4, 6, or 8 gig... Total cost should be under $19. (or if you have patience, even less via web order).

Don't mean to be cocky or rude, just want to ensure anyone reading this post for the 1st time, or sitting on the fence afraid to try it... THIS WILL absolutely will work fine. Try first with absolutely no changes on your TP2. Then... if it doesn't work the 1st time, simply rename your \windows\startup directory & reboot. (you simply rename it back later)

... sometimes when you're stuck, you have to back out & try a different angle. MANY have run the 6 simple steps in post 1 & had this running fine within 20 minutes just fine.

Please feel free to ask noob & lurker questions here. Certainly don't want to discourage anyone from trying. Try to read at least the 1st 1/2 of post 1 first... additiional reading on arrrrghhhhs frx07 post & the xdandroid site is recommended as well (both linked in my post 1) . In no way should that take more than 45 minutes max! Just pull the trigger & try it. Just make sure you give us details if you have issues...

GOOD LUCK & let us know the success stories as well :>))
