If you touch your main hard drive with it, you can trash everything in an instant and be left with an unbootable computer. Be wary.

Backup your SD Card.
Download Ubuntu 9.10.
Burn to CD.
Boot into Ubuntu.
Connect your phone to the computer, in Mass Storage mode (from WinMo).
Open GParted. (From System menu -> Administration)
Select the SD Card. (Be Careful -- Here be dragons)
Delete ALL partitions.
Make 1 Primary partition, of type FAT32.
Reboot to Windows.
Replace your Android files.
Load Android.
Hope it worked.
Curse my name if it didn't.

Option 2:
Convince the devs to make the initramfs and rootfs boot correctly off these strangely-partitioned sd cards. This is a much trickier proposition, and involves social engineering and persuasion skills outside the scope of this tutorial.

Sweet tits! okay so I used the HP tool mentioned at page 52 or so, formatted this sd-card, put things on and bam I'm in there like swim wear. Ugh. To think I was fuggin around with all this instead of studying for my physical chem mid term. geez. how addicted am I to this flashing business eh? but anyway, thanks a ton! now its just getting to play with everything now!

I can't get out of airplane mode. I have the 4 bars with the "x" and it says no service. I received a txt msg though...haha kinda weird.

I'm on verizon...any ideas?

Sound is probably the least of importance to me. I think everything is going great. My order is probably Text > Data > Phone > GPS > Sound > Battery Stuff.

I believe Sound is fairly important to Phone

Again, to each his own.

Having a debate about which feature is most important is all relative; everyone here could argue why their feature is most important with valid arguments. But such a debate is asinine. The fact of the matter is, the devs get to decide what to work on next

Not to mention there is a poll for this in the android sub forum

Sound and power management seem to be the biggest wants.

Sounds about right

I think everyone agrees that sound is important but the point (or complaint) you make about the development not being done in the correct order makes NO sense... and contributes nothing to this forum.

The android port is being done in bits and pieces by people who on their own time are trying to get everything working. So naturally, things won't be done in any particular order....

In literally 2 weeks, Android for the TP2 has gone from an obscure project for a few dedicated volunteers to this HUGE following with it own dedicated sub-forum.

It's not like they determined ahead of time that they were going to exclude "sound" from the project. No matter what order it happens, it's coming.

Amen to That. Please people do not abuse the generosity of these individuals who are not obliged to do this. Be nice and patient, and good things will come to you.

Question: in the following link http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ are linux kernal zImages. Is there any reason I would have a problem deleting my zImage and replacing with the most recent build?
