Missing commits to tinboot? I got the recovery even smaller but hangs on main logo. no double vib so im assuming it may be the same issue as before. Right now the nbh is about 3.4mb

My tinboot2.S is the same as git. All I did was name it recovery.tgz, put it in /bootenv/initrd, and then built initrd.gz. Then I copied that into /tinboot-linux-msm/kernel, and built the rest. Here is my build script:

#!/bin/sh
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Build Script for linux-msm-rhod-nand (Android on HTC) kernel, modules, XIP, and NBH
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Set the following variables
# ANDROID -- Root director for Android files
ANDROID=~/Desktop/android
# TINBOOT -- tinboot directory
TINBOOT=$ANDROID/tinboot-linux-msm
# TOOLCHAIN_PATH -- directory containing the arm toolchain
TOOLCHAIN_PATH=$ANDROID/toolchain/arm-2010.09/bin/arm-none-eabi
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------

#build initrd and copy to Tinboot
cd $ANDROID/bootenv
sh buildInitrd
cp -f initrd.gz $TINBOOT/kernel

#-----start build XIP-----
# remove old XIP if it exists
cd $TINBOOT
if [  -f xip/rhod ]; then
    rm xip/rhod
    echo Deleting old XIP
fi

# make XIP folder if it does not exist
if [ ! -d "$TINBOOT/xip" ] ; then
mkdir $TINBOOT/xip
fi

# compile tinboot XIP

echo "Start compiling tinboot/xip for rhod....."
$TOOLCHAIN_PATH-as  tinboot/tinboot2.S -o tinboot.o --defsym rhod=1 --defsym MTYPE=2292
$TOOLCHAIN_PATH-objcopy tinboot.o -O binary tinbootxip
mv tinbootxip xip/rhod

# cleanup tinboot
rm tinboot.o

# make sure XIP build was successful
if [ ! -f xip/rhod ] ; then
    fail "XIP build failed. XIP file was not found."
fi


#-----start build NBH-----
# clean up previous log file
if [ -e "tools/log" ]; then
rm tools/log
fi

# compile tinboot
cp tools/rhod_payload2 os.nb.payload

echo "Inserting tinboot into payload"
wine tools/osnbtool -c os.nb.payload 1 xip/rhod >> tools/log
mv os.nb.payload.NEW os.nb.payload >> tools/log

echo "Inserting blank imgfs into payload"
wine tools/ImgfsToNb.exe  tools/imgfs.bin os.nb.payload os-new.nb.payload >> tools/log

echo "Creating os.nb portion of nbh"
tools/nbmerge < os-new.nb.payload > os-new.nb

echo "Creating NBH"
wine tools/yang.exe -F RHODIMG.NBH -f os-new.nb -t 0x400 -s 64 -d RHOD****0 -c 11111111 -v Tinboot -l WWE >> tools/log

# clean up payloads
rm os.nb.payload
rm os-new.nb.payload
rm os-new.nb

# clean up tinboot directory
rm -rf xip
mv -f RHODIMG.NBH ~/Desktop

I know this works because I had arrrghhh and others flash the 5MB one that had full busybox in recovery without any issues. Do you think it could be a toolchain difference, or is it possible I'm compiling the NBH differently?
