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

I've read the first page a couple of times myself, and it seems slightly cryptic.

Am I to assume, the 3 tgz files need to go on the card, then flash the nbh file using the custom RUU program, then follow the 'on first boot' instructions?

In the FAQ - whats the talk about the HaRET console and ADB? is that needed for a 'standard' user, or is it more for debugging?

ETA: I have done custom roms for winmo before, and am currently running froyo via HaRET - would prefer to use the NAND way... - is it 'worthy' of running flat out like this yet?

Yes, I apologize that we keep changing the install procedure. Each new breakthrough changes the way we do it, and they have all been for the better. First, ACL created recovery which removed the install-seq.sh script. Then I found that we could pack his recovery into the initrd.gz which is included in the NBH. This removed the recoveryinstall.tgz, so now we are down to 3 files. This is where it should stop though, so I'll have updated install instructions up once I commit the changes to bootenv (which I'm currently waiting for enough feedback and a go ahead from ACL since it's a pretty big change).

First of all, please forgive my poor English.
Glad to see new RIL test.
But, unfortunately, still can not use my mobile phone.
I use the new gsmtest.
But for the:
"On first boot, hold Volume Up when prompted to get into recovery."
Phone to restart.
Although only a test. but I feel I am more luck. test failed
When I can not use the SIM card into the system.
This is my feedback.
Hope to help the project.

Thanks a460162314! Do you know what model you have? It should say under the battery something like rhodium 100 or rhodium 210. I heard from XDA-Developers that my GSM test did not work, so I will try something else tomorrow.

Do not thank me, I just did what I should do.
Again sorry, my English is too bad the.
My phone is RHOD210.

Finally, please forgive me again, my bad English.

I understand you just fine. RHOD210 is what I was looking for. I will let you know when we have something new to test out :)

Yeah, I'm with this guy. I'll flash completely fine, but when I first boot it'll get to the point where I'm supposed to hold the "volume up" button, the text for that part will flash for half a second, then my phone will restart. This process will repeat till I take the battery out. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong? I'm on a Rhodium 500, btw.

You know, I don't recall right off hand. I want to say no though. Hold on. Let we get everything back on there and try to run it again.

Sorry, I posted with my phone originally and couldn't edit on there. Forgot that the reboot issue on CDMA phones is due to the SIM card being in the phone. I totally forgot about that issue, so I guess we are still stuck on that.

Wait, I thought the first three files were supposed to be ON the SD card?

If it ends up being that simple though, I will epic facepalm. -.-
