(It should say markinus at markinus . de)

Cotulla and markinus are two diff people. I dont know if cotulla actually does take donations..

I grabbed the link off all his posts on XDA. I'll edit tomorrow since I'm in bed. Thanks for catching that.

Thanks for the Push ACL! =D>

Time for a cup of coffee!!!

Looking at all of the Vogue stuff are we planing on removing the rootfs like they did?

Also what do you guys have for a cmd line, something like this?

mtdparts=msm_nand:0x00300000@0x1600000(boot),0x00040000@0x01900000(root),0x066C0000@0x01940000(system),0x08000000@0x08000000(userdata)

Happy Flashing! or Bricking...


EDIT: How is this one?

mtdparts=msm_nand:0x10000000@0x0(nand),0x01500000@0x04000000(root),0x066C0000@0x05540000(system),0x06f60000@0x0Bc00000(userdata)

You know we should just do what the hd2 guys did for the ril. They made a wrapper for the htc propierary ril and let it do its thing. No need to worry about how anything works..lol.

Haha, indeed!

As to the RIL-wrapper, we should take another look at it. stinebd tried to do some RIL-wrapping magic, but I'm not even sure what he was doin - I was just testing a build for him a few months back that had a wrapped RIL. Let's just say it didn't work .

I used the second one which is what wozzer suggested for testing. Reason i say that is because we are using alot of space on rootfs and we simply dont need that much.

i'm going to start a new repo soon for our new initrd. So all of this will soon be online.

I'm still wondering how to help Nate with his usb issue. I suppose giving him the latest kernel and flashing through sd card will allow him to write to nand. Once he writes to nand he can continue doing updates via wifi through android.

The initrd itself should be powerful enough to update via sd anytime we want. Just download release, reboot and update.

Ok Sounds great!

Something is going wrong with my initrid... Can't seem to make it right.
Great that you are making a version that we can use just for NAND.

For Nate he should be able to flash a NBH via sdcard, I'm pretty sure this is what he has been doing.

Nate, call customer care and see if they will replace your phone. There are many reasons they might do this for free. If you have a software based problem (there are many since its WM) you are probably in luck. There is a possibliity you need to add insurance to your phone. All you need to do is flash back to the stock verizon rom and relock your phone. Worst case scenario is you lose your phone, where you will have to pay the deductable, which is probably $100.

ACL,

I can't seem to access the MTD partitions?
I have updated since this morning.
If I enter cd dev/block and do a ls I do not see the mtdblocks...
Not sure what I'm missing.
My cmdline has the correct parameters in too.

Thanks!

EDIT: I will try to reclone the repository...

yeah reclone and take a look at the dmesg. it should show there all the partitions you put in the cmdline. If for some reason the modules arent loading right do a "modprobe mtdblock" and see if they show up then. I didnt have to do this but just a thought.
