I still have Sprint TP2 as well and have been running android off SD card for a while since nothing was working. I downloaded all files to try nand version and was looking for a faq to refresh myself before jumping back in. This would have been helpful I am sure. If possible email to darylrue@gmail.com, thanks. Otherwise I will figure it out but will take longer. Its cold and I would like to play around this week a bit.

this should be easy for you then. I'm quoting myself from the OMGB instructions.

Instructions are simple. Flash RHODIMG.NBH via sdcard, boot with USB plugged in and flash recovery. Reboot into recovery and update from sd and select OMGB. Once you are up and running, you can boot back into recovery and install GAPPS. Don't try to install GAPPS at the same time, i find that it causes some crashes if this way is done.

In this case it helps if you know less about wince and more about android. Once rhodimg.nbh is in you have the ability to fastboot. If you know what that is then the rest is self explanatory.

Re: Guide to get Nand working on TP2

I can't seem to install the fastboot driver. when i test adb, it's fine, it shows 000000 under devices, but when i type "fastboot devices", nothing shows up. So I shut down my phone and pressed Volume Down and Power to get into that three-color screen. Then connected phone with usb to my laptop (at the bottom of the screen it reads "serial", not 'usb'). I tried to update the wrongly-installed driver in Device Manager ("qualcomm cdma something") and i directed it to the 'PdaNet for Android', but I just get a pop up that says it could not locate the driver. What am i doing wrong??

What is the difference between the NAND vs regular GBX0B release? GBX0B is put on the SD card, how about NAND?

Try updating the driver in fastboot mode.

By process of elimination if this isn't installed on the SD card, what is it installed on?

NAND. It's kind of a misnomer, since technically most flash cards also use NAND flash memory, it stuck for whatever reason. So it's installed over WinMo. Still in testing, not for the feint of heart, blah blah blah.

How do I get into fastboot mode? I always thought the tri color screen was the fastboot mode.

Assuming you're on a relatively new version of LK, you just coldboot the phone to force fastboot.

Cold boot = pull battery.

No, fastboot is part of LK - the blue screen with tiny text. If you see some jibberish about "fastboot_enabled" or something to that effect, then you're in LK in fastboot mode. If it just hangs on that blue screen and you can't read anything about fastboot, then you're in LK but there's nothing installed for it to boot. Make sense?
