Android for Sprint HTC TP2 links for an old newbie!

Sometimes the data.img stops installing new drivers when you've updated it too many times. Seems to be kind of random.

1. I ran ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.112210.cab from the SD card.
2. An Android icon was created on WM, I started android from there.
3. During startup, it asked the phone type, I selected
RHOD400
Cdma
HW3D
N AM DIAL

4. The startup also gives you an opportunity to run Update. It automatically downloads all updates and installs.

I do not know if this update is for zImage as well as for Module and data.img. Should I not run this update?

If I'm to manually update,

1. Do I need to run all updates sequentially from FRX01 to FRX03?
2. In order to update, do I just unzip/extract the files and replace the old zImage,Modules and data.img with the new ones?

Thank you once again for your help!

Oh my, I had no intention of starting a war guys. I'm sorry that I asked but I really had no idea that it was cause hard feelings or words.
I thank you all for taking the time for even answering me. Thanks again and I think that I'll go back to lurking.

If the link had worked on her phone, it would have been that easy. I'm usually pretty good at explaining things well to non-technical people, but I obviously failed on my response.

I still believe the click-and-go install really is that easy. Using the browser on the phone, download the CAB, click it, select SD card as the install location, it installs everything for you, then use the launcher to set your phone model and click Boot. Only way to make it easier would be to make an actual EXE for WM that downloads and does all the setup for you. But you still have the issue of getting that EXE onto their phone...

Didn't start a war, just some constructive criticism and helpful ideas
