NAND Testing - 05-25 Update: New LK, Recovery.img, Kernel Updates through Recovery

we can use fastboot like a real android device once LK has been flashed. This also means we no longer need to reflash the NBH each time there is a new kernel or recovery since fastboot allows you to update those partitions.

Plus the real reason why i want to use it is so we can charge the phone using LK instead of our kernel.

it might so keep your fingers crossed. I'm hoping to have a test out tonight. If it actually boots in the gsm device, then thats a good sign.

Got stuck in a boot loop today. Tried removing the battery, then replacing it then plugging the cable back in, but that didn't work. I also tried the "unplug and plug the USB cable in for 5 second intervals" trick, but that didn't work either.


I ended up heating up the battery with a hair dryer for a good 5 minutes, then putting it back into the phone, with the cable already plugged in. I let it sit there for a good 20 minutes. Works fine.

You have to get the battery pretty hot for this to work, but don't go crazy. I think it may explode if you go to far lol

EDIT: IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE HAIR DRYER TRICK DIDN'T WORK.

What I did now is got a small variable DC power supply and connected it to the outer pins (the ones labeled + and -) of the battery and maintained a constant 3.4 volt charge on the battery. This may be out of reach for some, but it is basically a simple way to charge the battery without the phone. Don't charge it for too long like this though; just to start the phone.

LK is what?
I tested LK.nbh
Look at this picture。。。
EDIT：Pictures shot the vague...
I saw the interface is :Blue background+White font
Is a new interface?
But finally stopped on the
"
fastboot_init()
udc_start()

You have a lot of reading to do.. start with "fastboot" on google.

I'm booting off NAND via the instructions here and have been having a noob of a time getting applications requiring root access to function, with Titanium being the main app I want so I can more easily transition between installations for testing purposes. I've attempted to download Busybox, however it fails installing due to inability to get root access, as well. I have XP Windows with ADB Drivers installed and I can get around a little bit in Droid Explorer. I don't get prompts when opening applications which require root, just them saying they failed to get access. I have USB Debugging enabled, if that matters at all. I've done some digging in the various threads here though perhaps I don't know the terminology I should be looking for. Superuser, busybox, root don't land results which have been helpful to me, unfortunately, and all discussions of the topic in forums not specific to the TP2 seem to bear only cursory relevancy to it. I have a RHOD400 type device.

Thanks in advance for any and all help provided and if there is, in fact, a thread or post which covers this in a way I might be able to follow just pointing me in that direction would be most appreciated.

For people with WIFI problems go to data and remove the wifi-nvram.txt file and do the update above.
