I have the latest WM6.1 installed on my Sprint Mogul and installed the latest Android version.
Windows Mobile 6.1: http://www.htc.com
Latest SDK Version from here: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/

First try or installation (No format):

1) Extracted all files into the root of a 4GB Kingston Micro SDHC card (No formatting to FAT32 was done)
2) Ran Haret
3) Everything booted up to the "Android/Time/Lock" screen. I did not go any further than that. At the time, I had no idea the Q button on the keyboard would take me to the "Desktop", therefore, doing a soft reset
4) Tried to run Haret again and recieved the following message:

mounting/dev/block/loopl on/system failed: invalid argument
Failed to mount/system
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

Second try or installation (Format to FAT32):

1) Formatted the same card to FAT32 using Windows through USB
2) Extracted all the files to the root directory of the storage card
3) Ran Haret
4) Recieved the same following message:

mounting/dev/block/loopl on/system failed: invalid argument
Failed to mount/system
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

Third try or installation (No format using San Disk 512mb)

1) I decided to use the original 512mb Sandisk card the phone came with (No formatting involved)
2) Extracted all the files to the root directory of the storage card
3) Ran Haret
4) Everything booted up to the "Android/Time/Lock" screen
5) Pressed the Q button on the keypad
6) Woah La!

Here are my findings after the Third Installation:

Outgoing Calls: Works
Incoming Calls: Works (It took 6-7 rings the first try. 1-2 rings the second try)
Outgoing Text: N/A
Incoming Text: works fine
Keyboard: on screen KB worked fine after pressing camera button but is only in landscape mode
Internet: I couldn't achieve a connection with anything internet/data related
Contacts: Was not imported or available
Scrolling: Not very user friendly
Icon positioning: Very difficult to position around "Desktop"
Camera: Prompted to insert SD card
Music: Indicates No SD card available
Sound: Does not work
Vibration: Works

Green Call Button on phone: Brings up Call log
Red End Button on phone: Ends call or Turns off Screen

Red Light and exterior buttons on phone: Stays lit when phone is not in use
Orange Light and exterior buttons on phone: Stays lit when phone is in use

KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS:
Q button: Takes you to the "Desktop" (after start up)
Cap/Shift: Close (Current Window or app)
OK or FN+Q: Opens option settings for current prog/app running.
FN+Cap/Shift or FN+Windows Menu: Tabs

Note: All functions may not always work and will require 1 or 2 soft resets.

I hope this helps.


This is definitely a leap foward and appreciate all of you who have put so much time into making this application "work". I can't wait until a final release is completed. Great job guys!
I have the same problem with the fail to boot. I did 2 formats via Resco which did not help. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get my SD to boot?
