wonder if cmonex might know something from when she was working on HSPL. How exactly does tinboot stay resident, and how does WinMo do it? Maybe we need to use yang to develop a true NBH with all the parts like WinMo and reference them based on the addresses given to yang?

Guys here is my initrd.gz file. I added .zip so I can up it here just remove it.

Not working:
Keeping data after Reboot.
Data (3G/EV icon is there)
Wi-Fi
Keyboard. (Most likely in the init, all the files should be there.)
Might be others...

Everything else seem to work great.

My androidinstall.tar should not be too different from yours but it you want it let me know.

Edit: This also has Nate's latest SBIN folder with the addition of the adbd file. (tested)

we should ask.. or if you know em then ask away if SPL checks nand for winmo friendly partitions. If not fund, then wipe clean.

any mtty commands to prove this theory? i can install , reboot in bootloader mode and maybe see if it doesnt like it ?

Also our tinboot is aged.. We dont have this line at the bottom like vogue does. Not sure whats inside that emtptyimgfs but looks like we dont have it. Its times like these i wish i knew winmo better :-\

.org XIP_END-0x20000,0xff
.incbin "emptyimgfs"

Yeah, I think if we add that line we get a error... That's why Wozzer removed it. I think... I can try it out quick.

Update: Well it didn't give me a error, I must have missing something the last time it tried it. Installing the system now...

Update 2: Didn't work...

didnt work as in ? details bro

Next test is to revert to the original initrd and go back to sdcard. Then try to intall android and see if it survives the reboot. I did this before and it did survive but only with some data. But thats better than no data.

Lol, sorry. It didn't work as in keeping the data.

I'm thinking that something is getting over written during the boot.
The Vogue's intrd.gz file is only 1.3 MB Comparing to Mine of 6.3 MB.
Maybe we need change tinboot file to allow more space for the intrd.gz file?

I would say for now go back to the original initrd. Then try to mount the mtd partitions and write data onto em. See if it can withstand the reboot.

i need you gurus help me determine if this os.nb.payload file is good in our tinboot. I dont think its the same as vogue but if it is, then we may need to use our own right ?

Edit: ok cotulla is pretty sure spl is wiping our nand each reboot. No idea how to even stop this. may need to contact dzo ..

He did respond to my PM, but it took almost a week. He's certainly helpful, just busy. So if there's a specific question we have for him, I'm sure he'd be glad to help - just don't expect a quick turnaround
