What about something like this?

tar -cvzf /cache/modules.tgz /data/modules/
/bin/flash_eraseall /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /dev/null
/bin/mount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /data > /dev/null
tar -xzf /cache/modules.tgz -C /data

i ran my first test yesterday to restructure the modules path. I tried to port over sqsh4 so i can try the other method but the patch is too massive. So ill try to night with yaffs2 instead. If it works, then we will just do as you said and copy them over to system and mount looping them. This way we can wipe data all we want and not loose anything. Only thing we need to make sure is that people wipe their old modules or else system will just baloon up.

Also because the recovery is only 8mb, we will only have room for 1 extra kernel in there.. ohh well.. better than nothing

By the way, tested the sdcard loop just now. Works perfectly. I have some more cleanup that I'd like to do in init, so can you look through this patch and let me know what you think?

Edit: I changed the sdcard partition thing to be more efficient, removed some unnecessary stuff like the install-seq.sh portion, moved /tmp to /cache instead of /data/tmpcache, and removed the auto-mount sections for the mtdparts since we specify them in Tinboot.

This part is confusing

-mkdir -p -m 0777 /data/tmpcache
-mkdir -p -m 0771 /data/shared_prefs
+if [ ! -d /data/shared_prefs ] ; then
+	mkdir -p -m 0771 /data/shared_prefs
+fi
 chmod 0771 /data/shared_prefs
 chown 1000:1000 /data/shared_prefs
 ln -s /data/shared_prefs /shared_prefs
-ln -s /data/tmpcache /tmp
+mount /cache /tmp

Does the link /shared_prefs need to exisit?

Also what is stored on /tmp? ifs its true tmp i wonder if we can scrap it

Keep in mind that recovery needs some of this so we need to make sure we arent getting in the way. recovery uses cache lot for its logs and stuff.

I see this on the rc mkdir /data/local/tmp 0771 shell shell . so how many tempts do we really need ..lol

edit: all the other changes are really good. good house keeping . Lets figure this part out "+mount /cache /tmp" before commiting. Everything else will be fine. Did you test it yet?

what confuses me exactly, is that wifi is the only thing not working, and no one else seems to have the same issue, also seem to not be able to connect to the device with the usb drivers provided either, oh well, poke prod and beat untill ready, bake @ 350 and hope it doesnt taste bad :P

You're not the only one, 2 of us also got error scanning using Wifi... I reverted back to 3.11.11 files which Wifi worked... Haven't tested new files... My device is a Sprint Touch Pro2 without a Sim card (but Sim unlocked, with WU radio for Sim use)

About 3 hours ago, I downloaded the exact files off the first post, used recovery to install, and wifi was working without issues. I try to keep an eye on the latest files from autobuild, but if they aren't working for you, please make sure you are on the latest files and if it still doesn't work, post logs of when you fire up wifi.

@nate and acl just curious do u think the wu instead of wv radios r causing issues because they were modified by olipro and cmonex instead of the originals
