Guide to get Nand working on TP2

lol, I said we'd do an official guide when everything has settled and we're ready for release.

Oh well. Hopefully this will help people with fastboot/adb issues.

Hey arrrghhh if this is going to cause issue I will gladly take it down. Let me know asap!

Otherwise its a quick and dirty guide will clean it up as soon as I get near a computer.

Eh, it's one of those things - I don't want to make an easy, step-by-step guide just to get someone a system that's completely unstable. If they're able to figure out how to flash based on the information out there, they probably will also provide some good information as feedback on the system. Typically I wouldn't setup an easy how-to until testing is done. Basically if the user can't figure it out, they probably shouldn't be testing it.

I just don't see the point in guiding people thru how to do something, only to have a ton of posts complaining about broken stuff. That's not productive or useful to anyone.

I'm sure a lot of users are just fuming right now, but it's the truth. Sorry.

10-4, agreed

I give you an A for effort and a pat on the back. Don't feel bad, because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, arrrghhh and [ACL] will probably be fed up with my stupid questions in no time. :D

:headbang:
Sorry i was the one who really wanted to keep the manuals until the end. We have a quick and dirty primer on the project page wiki. I figured if anyone was serious they would do the research.

Yall can improve on that i guess. :scratch:

I hope you didn't take my previous post as a knock to you guys, I'm just inept when it comes to Linux based devices. I'm more than willing to do the reasearch but some of this stuff is just beyond me.

I have been flashing, tweaking, hacking, jailbreaking, etc.. for years since first version of windows CE. I am on epic 4g and have been through many roms with it and about 10x as many on windows mobile then android on my TP2. 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.

Re: Guide to get Nand working on TP2
 

The concepts are the same as in this thread, just apply the new files to these directions... It's pretty much like flashing a WinMo ROM, then flashing Android to it. Fun mix of both.

Re: Guide to get Nand working on TP2
 

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.

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??

Re: Guide to get Nand working on TP2
 

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

Re: Guide to get Nand working on TP2
 

Well first of all you went back to the tri-color screen, which is WinMo bootloader, to update a driver for fastboot/Android?

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?

Re: Guide to get Nand working on TP2
 

thanks a lot arrrghhh. i'm going to try it tonight :)

Re: Guide to get Nand working on TP2
 

you dont have to boot two os's when you need to change your dead battery. at least thats the only difference that matters to me.
