Since plugging in USB after these messages makes

fastboot: processing commands

appear, I gues the phone didn't freeze.
Is there a way to load recovery from fastboot?
I flashed the nbh without recovery and fastbooted the recovery.img a few pages back.

Hopes this helps

You can boot recovery from fastboot by typing "fastboot boot recovey.img" but that did't help me as the files form SD didn't show up.

Btw. just a blind guess but Rhod100 with german keyboard has keycode 107 on end call - maybe they're different.

You have to hold the button down as it boots. Once the fastboot already shows up on screen its way too late. There is no loop to wait for your press, it just checks if the button is held down and moves on.. just a tip.

I removed the recovery with lk version since that doesn't work for gsm at all cuz like lmiller mentioned before, gsm has a diff nand layout.

I am currently working in an are where I have to use GSM networks and WM6.5 is not doing it for me

Thanks.

Stick to haret at this time. It runs pretty well, this NAND madness is still in a very experimental phase... In fact the word 'testing' appears not once but twice in the thread title .

Actually flashing recovery to your device is easy, just read [GUIDE] ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noobs - xda-developers oh how to get drivers and fastboot up and running.

Place the recovery.img in your fasboot/adb folder;

The open a command prompt and "cd" to your fasboot/adb folder;

Then type "fasboot devices" to print a list of your connected fasboot devices (mine is "? fasboot");

Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", this will flash recovery.img to your recovery partition;

Then type "fastboot reboot" to reboot your phone.

You should now be able to boot your phone into recovery by holding the power button once the blue screen turns on.

Also a lot of people that reported that in recovery end button does not work but you can use the psihical keyboard to navigate recovery, up and down arrows to select and enter key to choose.

If you can't get the drivers running try googleing for them, some android file explorers install the drivers as well.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for being the only person who read my post!! Got the recovery image flashed onto the phone, but now im stuck in a reboot loop because my battery drained last night -_-... I'll see if I try the suggested step on the firt page. Thank You again.


Edit: I managed to get the phone to boot far enough by taking 3 batteries (AAA or AA, either is ok) and connecting them in series then manually charging the phone battery for about 10 minutes by connecting a cable directly to the + and - terminals.

By running "fastboot boot boot.img" i was able to get to smd0 open -> opened and after that a reboot ... but that was with sim card in, i've never managed to get this far with sim in... i'll try to fix this and i'll update soon.

Update: can the end key think it's being pressed all the time and that's why it automatically boots into fastboot every time and you can't use it in recovery ( it is the single key that it's not working in recovery)

Update: I can see the animation !

New update: It's working! You guys are the best! I have no signal but Wi-Fi is working! and it's very fast!

when reboot from recovery, LK stop at and need to remove battery

fastboot_init()
udc_start()

Does files under update.zip\system\lib\hw, need to use rootfs.img\lib\froyo\hw
xdandroid, init :

mount --bind /lib/froyo/hw /system/lib/hw

You should be able to plug the usb cable and install recovery from fastboot.

You can soft-reset your phone, there's no need to pull the battery.

Oops, i said reboot from recovery, like after install update.zip, kernel.zip, use recovery menu "reboot system now", then will phone boot will stop at that.

I try to merge newest ril ,but fail ,data connection not work.
Now back to April 15 ril version, work well. so cool.

Oh, sorry for misunderstanding, that could be because you don't have a boot.img installed (comes with kernel update).

No. Files in the system\lib\hw are exactly that. No need for \lib\froyo.

Also there is no need for bind mounts with NAND. Just put the files where you want them.
