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

[jadenq]

Here is an update on my situation. I found several possible solutions. One of which is to just let it continually boot loop for a night and see if the fixes it. I tried this one but it didn't work. My next solution is to leave the battery out for about a day. I am hoping this will work, but I fear that my battery might be fried.
I have noticed that when I plug it in and it tries to auto boot if I remove the battery before it boots and then insert the battery again the charge light comes on. But after 10 seconds the light turns off then back on and even if I unplug it the light stays on.
I don't know if that means anything? I have done a lot of research. Let me know if you have any thoughts?

this is a known issue bro.. i dunno what kinda research you did but i know we must have at least pasted about 10 pages about this.

So with that said ive yet to find a fix. My last attempt does not seem to charge the batt like i had hoped so this is why you are getting this.

So either get yourself a batt charger or go back to winmo. Hopefully you have enough juice to flash back.

Thank you. I will probably just buy a new battery. Its only 7 dollars on Amazon. Thank you again.

i dunno about the threads. i say start a new one just for chatter..

Well... We can't call a thread Testing if we don't want anyone to post the test results here...

About the system... There is not much to change at all.. I'm uploading a install now, but I have not tested it..: Here are the steps I took.

Build.prop:
1. Change rild.libpath to: rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtcgeneric-ril.so
2. Change ro.sf.lcd_density to: ro.sf.lcd_density = 240


System/etc: 
Manually Change permission to RW for: (Not Sure if this is needed but...)
init.goldfish.sh
dbus.conf

Remove the System/etc/ppp folder (It is now in /data/ppp)

Add these files: 
bootenv/scripts/first-time.sh system/
bootenv/scripts/sysinit.rc system/
bootenv/scripts/sysinit.sh system/bin/

This system just has the regular version of libhtcgeneric-ril.so, so it will need to be added to the andriodupdate.tgz file.

This whole process could be automated. I'm thinking that we could just mount the system.etx2 to the sdcard and have at it! When I have more time I will look into that.

As for now test out the system FRX06! androidinstall.tgz

mount to the SD ? haha sounds like a killer idea. Just copy off that beotch.

You might not have enough battery to flash back to winmo, it might die mid flash and if it does you should be OK it just won't boot past the first or second boot screen but it might have the drivers in there to charge ...
It might be wort a shot, if you don't mind can you give it a try?

Just use a custom ROM, Smaller the better! You can enter bootloader as soon as the device get to the first boot screen.
EDIT: Try one of these ROM's I would start with the 38MB one: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-tp...6-5-6-1-a.html

And change the above files. Should not be too hard to do.

I will try this. If it works I will be surprised but very happy

Edit: I tried it and it flashed 100%! it seems to be charging! THANK YOU!!!!

Nate. must have broken something. Cant seem to boot off the autobuild version of the initrd.

Missing commits to tinboot? I got the recovery even smaller but hangs on main logo. no double vib so im assuming it may be the same issue as before. Right now the nbh is about 3.4mb

I am having problems in recovery mode. The power button isn't bringing up the recovery menu. I completely reformatted my sd-card and re-flashed the .nbh. I need some help, please.
