I tried doing what is suggested in the second post, but "Mobile Networks" can't be selected, it is grayed out.

I also had this problem... After reading a little, I realized I didn't remove my SIM card. So... Remove the SIM card and voila!!!!!! Data and phone work perfect.

I still cand get the market to work though.

Wait so is MrPippy taking over this project? I have been following this thread since its inception but I have been waiting for a "working" (working as in full functionality of data, sms, and calling features including ringer) version of android before going through the trouble of loading it up on my sd card. Civc I made a small donation to you (sorry bro I'm a student and times are hard right now) for your work so far. I'm really excited about this project and hope to be running a fully functional android on my TP2 so I just want to know who to be following from now on. Thanks a bunch guys, everyone here makes me <3 my TP2.

Hi everyone, didn't know civic was going to release a build with this RIL but it's good to see it getting some testing. It still has bugs, but when it works, it works

I'm not sure what causes it to not work sometimes (when the phone boots into airplane mode), but I think it might be linked to WinMo's data connection staying open. Before booting into Linux, try stopping the Data Connection in the Comm Manager.

I also don't know whether having a SIM card inserted matters or not. I've had my Sprint SIM in, but it isn't activated (and I haven't done any GSM unlocking).

Market: I'm pretty sure I know why the Market isn't working: the RIL isn't reporting a IMEI, which should be fixable.

Geolocation: Yeah, the cellular geolocation shows up as Switzerland. I just hardcoded that in when I was trying to debug something and needed a LAC/CID to put in. Actual CDMA geolocation would be way cool but it's not something we have on the other CDMA phones, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Thanks everyone for the donations, and I'll be making a new thread within a day or two.

Worst case scenario, clear off your SD card of anything related to Android. Copy back over the contents from the download and try again. Obviously still with the SIM card removed. Sprint users do not need the SIM card anyways unless your planning on hopping on a plane to Hong Kong and need international roaming from Sprint. lol

Hmmm, so I did as usual with the prior versions of this, copied everything to my storage card and when I click haret it says "Failed to load file \StorageCard\zImage.20100207_140206" did I skip a step..?

Be sure to remove all the folders and files related to Android and start over with extracting the contents to your SD card.

I always start fresh when they release a new modification. I am just anal like that.
