Remove it and it will work like a charm. :)

Ok so i smell a few good changes tonight. I'll commit the change for initrd to to remove the ro out.

Can you have the frx5 patched up so i can upload it? also in that same frx5 folder ill include the nhb and update so we peole just got to 1 directory for everything.

Finally i want to commit mtd parts.. so lets try to test more tonight.

Pull the battery. Put the battery back in. Connect it to the charger, it will boot but let it. Do not touch it for a while. Atleast 30 minutes if not longer. It will charge.

Once that time has expired pull the battery and turn it back on. :) You will have a working phone again. If it does not boot then just put it and bootloader and reflash.

Looking forward to testing the new files tonight!

Yeah, not sure why it is remounted as ro, but I added the symlink during the install-seq.sh while the system was rw. We can do it either way, but we may want to remove the one I added to install-seq.sh if we are doing it through sysinit.rc :)

I think we will remove the ro completely. I guess they did it so android does not have to do it.

yeah you can remove that line from install then.

So you finally booting up fine? were you able to ssh into it ?

Still need to test mtd parts. Looks like Lmillers is also bad so need to test yours fully.

First, you need to download the Update Utility (CustomRUU) and the latest package. Extract the NBH to the same folder as the Update Utility and flash like you would a custom ROM. Put the included modules on the SD card (modules must be from the same package as the NBH) along with the modified rootfs.img (see first post) and system.ext2 from http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page (you can use system.ext2 from BLAZN, but XDAndroid will be better for testing)

I would like to try this out, but it doesn't seem to boot for me. I must be missing something in the directions from the first 2 posts. This is my process:

1. download nbh, androidupdate, androidinstall, install-seq.sh, and customruu files from first post.
2. put the nbh and customruu files in a folder on my desktop.
3. put the other 3 files in a folder on my sd card called andboot
4. flash task29 to wipe the phone (rhod400)
5. put phone in bootload, connect to pc and run customruu (this appears to work, but it flashes fast like task29, not as long as when I flash a wm ROM).
6. After flash is finished, the linnux bootscreen with the penguin starts just like when using haret from sd card, but nothing ever happens after that.

After re-reading the first 2 posts I decided that my andboot folder also needed a system.ext2 and maybe a module and zIMAGE from a kernel. So I have tried putting those 3 files in my andboot and customruu folder but that was unsuccessful also. The only thing I don't totally understand is from the above quote to "extract NBH" and put included modules in sd card.

Could someone please point out my folly? Thank you, this is very exciting work you are all doing.

I'd wait till this settles down a little more. Not so noob-friendly at this stage.

With that said, all you need is the RHODIMG.nbh at the root of your SD, and the three files in andboot - androidupdate.tar/tgz, androidinstall.tar/tgz and install-seq.sh. Flash the NBH from SD, and away it goes.

nah he can use the custom ruu if he really wants it always works for me but hes probably not renaming his androidudate.tgz to exclude the numbers that date+build number the file name

I completely agree with the gods here on the noob-flashing. I've been flashing for 3 years but android different than WM....unlike wm where you can say "keyboard is no worky" that really doesnt help the gods out too much. I've come to the conclusion (withing 5 min of a successful flash) to keep my mouth shut because I have no idea what I'd be talking about anyway----bogs down the thread, and keeps the gods answering questions instead of fixing problems.
Like I said, been around the block a while, but I am not qualified to test and report----therefor, I'll just watch and read

I apologize for not being clearer in the first post, and I will try to update it. Some of the files may need to be re-named. You should have these exact file names in the andboot folder: androidinstall.tgz, androidupdate.tgz, and install-seq.sh

The NBH should flash fairly quick because it is only writing 4 MB of data rather than 160 MB like most WinMo ROM's.
