It should not matter if the su is in the xbin or system... or even linked... Since the path includes them both.
Ahh, I was thinking /system/xbin was before /system/bin in the PATH, and the su in /system/xbin isn't the right one. Guess it really doesn't matter, but I noticed that was a common theme in most root programs and thought it might fix some of the issues. Guess not :P

I guess all we really need to do is copy su and busybox from /bin to /system/bin during the first time script.

I agree with ACL that we should move anything ROM related out of the install-seq.sh and move it into the scripts that are run on the ROM's first launch. Any ideas or commits you have for that, let me know ;)

Just used the system.ext2 method with FRX06 and it worked great!
Booted up with no issues except data... Here is my log: 03-29 22:19:37.280: INFO/DEBUG(173): debuggerd: Mar 1 2011 18:59:25 03-29 22:1 - Pastebin.com

For the install-seq.sh:
Code:
sed -i 's/ro.sf.lcd_density = 210/ro.sf.lcd_density = 240/' /system/build.prop
EDIT: No data on second boot either... My modules are not loaded...
Still looking at it...

But I do not like the new keylayout! :) How can I get back to the other? Thanks!!!


EDIT2:
I get a invalid arg with this command: mount -t squashfs -o ro,relatime /dev/block/loop3 /system/lib/modules

For the first part, I see this in your log, and later on it says the radio is disabled. I don't know enough to explain why, but that's what sticks out to me.

Code:
  1. 03-29 22:23:37.770: INFO//system/bin/tc(172): Cannot find device "rmnet0"

  2. 03-29 22:23:37.770: INFO/logwrapper(172): /system/bin/tc terminated by exit(1)

  3. 03-29 22:23:37.780: INFO/ActivityManager(219): Force stopping package com.android.provision uid=10040

  6. 03-29 22:23:37.910: INFO//system/bin/tc(172): Cannot find device "rmnet0"

For keylayout, you can try modifying the rhod400 navipad file and flip the power/home buttons. If that doesn't work, you may have to make the adjustment in the kernel's gpiokeys and then comment out the navipad part.

Finally, the squashfs issue is because you probbaly used squashfs-tools from apt-get which installs version 4. You have to go to their site, grab 3.4, unzip, then go to the squashfs-tools folder, do MAKE, then sudo MAKE INSTALL. Get the 3.4 version here: Official Squashfs LZMA

Also I grabbed the squash file from the autobuild and have it mounted...
But when I do a depmod I get: depmod: chdir:2.6.27.46-01268-ga175a7c: No such file or directory

Any Idea?

Sorry for the late response; however reflashing the radio fixed my data issues. I don't know if the radio was corrupted or if it was just bad luck on my part. Just sharing experiences!

What I did was uninstalled the squashfs-tools that I had installed originally, then downloaded the 3.4 tar.gz. I extracted that right in my Downloads folder, then in bash, I browsed into the squashfs-tools folder and did make, then sudo make install. The sudo is really important there.

Terminal says unknown uid when I type busybox whoami, but it does let me su, then issue commands which works properly.

Haret users don't have to do anything like this, so that's why I'm wondering what we need to do to clean up the ROM. Also, I'm thinking we should toss spare parts into the ROM like Haret used to unless we want to change the value for the End key. Having no Home button is extremely annoying.

As for the install-seq.sh, that is almost the same code as what I had when I was trying to fix up FRX06. I used @ symbols, but I like yours better. For the 210 to 240, I think we should add a little more to that so we don't mess up build values or anything like that.
I tried ES explorer for root but its asking for a specific rom (cyano or some other crap). lol

The request for 'root' is a real hack in android. It doesnt work like you think. Most devs try to write to a section they arent allowed to to cause the superuser apk request to pop up and allow it. Thats it..lol. They dont have the power to go to the shell and execute, its all done internally. they dont select the user to run as. Haret runs wide open. They dont have ro set for any partitions. If you want to run the same way, just mount rw for everything in your initrd. Also reorder your path so where ever you have busybox installed is first. :-)

installed angrybirds with no issues.. so i'll leave it up to you gents to figure it out. If i cant replicate, i cant fix :-(. I'll try a fresh install instead of my restored data to test further. Also for spare parts and all that stuff, make an update.tgz and lets put it up. Simple enough to do so. I dont want to included it in the rom itself since.

I was thinking more about this direct conversion from the img and realized that the fixperms script will never run since its not there. Not sure if this is gonna work out well in the long run. God knows what they will change forcing us to update the script.. At this stage its easy enough to update the recovery we do have a work around.

Could not agree more about the keys and no home button! Never made sense to my why they changed it... The less haret stuff the better.

Humm... Not sure why angerybirds would install for you...
I have installed the most recent autobuild with no success in getting the modules to load.

I was able to get the 3.4 version of squashfs working. What I had to do was install I the zlib (apt-get install zlib1g)

I also notice that the SDCard does not mount. I have to pull it out and then reinsert it for it to mount... After that it does not even show up in the settings/SDcard.

fear not my good man i'm looking into the autobuild. I think i made a last minute change to move to loop0 from loop3.. hope it wasnt that.

yeah sd got effed up somewhere in there. In odd news however my phone charged lol. i completely drained it last week and i guess i didnt drain it enough, but after leaving it on the charger got to 50%.. enough to boot safely and continue charging.

Good your charger is working! I will try it out the next time my dies... ;)

Couple of things...
First with the recovery...
If the install fails you do not get notified on the screen... You can only see it in the log. :(

My Install-seq.sh script is working like it should... But I'm still having troubles with the modules They seem to be installing correctly but gives me this in the bootlog and when I do a depmod in the command: depmod: chdir(2.6.27.46-01268-ga175a7c): No such file or directory

I also have apps in my androidupdate.tgz that are not getting installed, everything.

Last but not least the system is getting mounted at rw on boot... :)

Any Ideas?

If you are doing the upgrade to frx6 i can see a potential issue. the setup to mount the ext2 is using loop0 as well, and thats wht is needed for the modules. So modules will need to go back to loop3

well when you adb into the system. look for this

/system/lib/modules/2.6.27.46-01268-ga175a7c.sqsh

This has to be there before android starts. The initrd should mount this and make a link back to modules under the correct version. So something in there is failing.

apps? never tried apps via adnroidupdate. are the files getting copied over correctly?

edit: oops looks like nate cleaned up my mess and already put everything back to loop3 .. good looking out.

For the install script, I have it loop mount on loop0, but as soon as the file copy is done, it deletes that mount. When you originally committed it, loop3 was not being made in MAKEDEVS, so I added that, but I don't think you ever committed the change to move modules to loop0 (probably were just testing it).

For depmod, our version is pretty dumb. It doesn't have the ability to accept any commands, so it will only depmod if /system/lib/modules/uname/ is there. This is why depmod during the install script fails and gives that error in the bootlog.txt.

Installing apps using the androidupdate.tgz is a little weird. The APK's have to be formatted properly, or they will not install. For example, Superuser.apk works perfectly fine, but I cannot get other APK's like Terminal to install from my Titanium Backup if I just toss it in the /system/app folder.

Also, I think I've ironed out the issues with root. Titanium Backup installs Busybox to the data partition where it looks for it just fine, but other programs don't know to look there, so they fail. If you download Busybox from the Market, it thinks there is no space left in system, but you can install it to /system/xbin anyway... Once Busybox is installed, ES File Explorer (et al) allow root access without issues (after a restart).

I didn't have to do anything special with the apps before. But I found the problem... I had the app folder in the root of my update and not in the data/app :toothy10:...

For Busybox... I just use the one from the market and then use superuser.apk (all included in my update.tgz). Root works fine. Not sure what you mean about not having enough space stuff...

Also the install-seq.sh works great! As long as you don't have the androidinstall.tgz in your andboot folder. ;)

FR06 Dialer rocks btw!

Yeah, what I meant by busybox saying not enough space was if you download it from the Market and then launch it. The application says there is no space on system, but it installs fine regardless of the warning :P

Did you get data working on FRX06?

Re: NAND Boot Testing - 03-24: FRX05 on NAND (Testing new RIL)
 
ok tested from autobuild.

so far. data doesnt work at first, this is because we arent getting dns servers right away. Not sure why. So going to airplane mode, killing pppd and restarting data works. wifi works out of the box.

superuser.apk by chainsDD from market. Works.
Busyboxinstaller by Jrummy16 from maker. works.
titanium backup installs from maket.

Only thing that does not work is the sdcard..lol. i see it on the shell but android refuses to see it. So its obvious this is somehow related to the recent commits.. any ideas. ?

edit: I put lmillers frx6 tarball on server. Since there is lot of mods to make to get it to run out of the box, lets just get this stable on the tgz first. Modding the install script to add small stuff each time is a pain.

Re: NAND Boot Testing - 03-24: FRX05 on NAND (Testing new RIL)
 
found the damn sdcard issue. Somehow the old vold.conf and vold.fstab got back in. The old ones use /sdcard as the mount point instead of /mnt/sdcard.

So i need to check whats on autobuild and update it.

Edit: autobuild seems good.. so sdcard works out of the box as well. So the whole install/backup/restore is solid, i can go back to kernel work now ..lol

after days of arguing, finally the next official version of the ril will be nand friendly. So this is good news for all of us.

I ran into an issue yest testing gsm changes. I commented out the init_mmc on the board file since thats the last part we see before it reboots with the sim inside. Unfortunately this also kills sdcard which makes it impossible to install android. lol.

Glad to hear the RIL will be more friendly from here on out. For the GSM stuff, does that mean we are incorrectly addressing the SIM card as a mmc slot? I kind of figured that was what it was doing since it would reboot every time it tried to mount the sdcard on a GSM device. Any idea why it doesn't do this on Haret?

actually it looks like hycs branch will be the one actively developed until it moves to xdandroid. i'm going to clone it since we need to make some changes first and so does stine on xdandroid itself so we can have the holy union.. so it will be a while before its done but it will get done.

Got an email from alex, looks like he has lk ready for testing for the rhod .. not sure if ill get to it tonight but definitely tomorrow.

Good to know. I thought he would just be providing patches. As for LK, I know that will add fastboot as well as being more native, but what else does it give us? Will it have the ability to apply recovery.img or system.img so it would be asier on chefs?

I sent u an email.

I pushed the script for tinboot to make the LK nbh. It boots but it needs some work. Fast boot isn't working yet so we will prob have to cheat and add the recovery the way we do now. Just piggy back the bitch and get it to boot :-p ..

Hi guys, android run on my rhod100_it, i downloaded this files: Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites! and i put in the androidupdate.tgz the build.prop mod from gsm test of mcmutty, and now i see on the screen of my rod the animation of xdaandroid. i post to you the build.prop which i used. But with sim card the rhod looped!

Re: NAND Boot Testing - 03-24: FRX05 on NAND (Testing new RIL)
 
Ok - I finally bit the bullet last night, and switch from Haret to NAND. I like the speed impovements, especially on boot :thumbleft: I have noticed a few things, and I will list them out below... I was previously running the FRX06, and ran FRX05 (both haret) over the past week or so. I now consider my phone a fulltime android phone at this point, having totally abandoned Winmo... I figure why not, seems like I have less lockup/reboot issues on droid!

So, as of last nights build files (@11pm eastern time) I see the following

  1. Link in post #1 for the recovery.tgz file is dead. Link points to recoveryinstall.tgz (I think) and the file is actually recovery.tgz
  2. As noted in a previous post - data wont work on the first boot
  3. I have noticed that data randomly drops out. Usually requiring a reboot or 4...
  4. Sometimes the 3G emblem changes to just G - not really sure what THAT means, but it seems that when it happens, no data works.
  5. WEP is not working (not sure if it was this thread or something else where I saw WEP now worked... so I am noting it in case)
  6. Also noted I believe - I had at least one instance where I tried to power down, it claimed it was, and never fully shut off.
  7. Sometimes on boot, the radio doesnt seem to register - my 'banner' says android, instead of VZW
  8. It never seems to fully to sleep. Orange light stays on more often than not (yes GPS if off), and when I do see the green light, the orange blinks in every 3 seconds or so. I did not have this issue with Haret
  9. Waking the phone from sleep seems to take more 'finesse' than Haret. Usually with haret, I could get it with one button press. NAND seems to take me on average about 4 before I can get the screen on (random buttons)
So... all that said! I would say so far, that the Haret builds seem slightly more stable - in respect to radio/data. The rest of NAND seems MUCH more stable than Haret so far. Haret was giving me constant random GUI reboots (where it would just pop up the xandroid logo with the little droids circling)

I would like to help as much as possible - I can only help in the testing part (and as said in like post 8 or so... 2 testers are worth more than 1 programmer). Let me know what data you need, and how I would go about collecting it for you....

I've got a little problem here. I've stuck in the power cycle and I keep following the steps to restart my phone but I'm having horrible luck. If I use a friend's battery will that solve this problem or do I need to continue with the steps?

I've been at this for about two hours so needless to say I'm pretty frustrated at this point. :(

So weird. My phone dies on me at least once a day because of the hardware problem I have, and I never get the boot loop.

Anyway, yes, a battery from a friend should fix it. Wish we could find a way to get charging working in the bootloader.

Hi Natemcnutty, can you help me with rhod100? i have a loop boot when i insert the sim card! can i hack any string or any parameter to resolve this problem?
I wrote a post where I explain how I managed to do since Android.

Sorry for my bad english! thanks for your job

Good deal, I switched it with a buddy so life is good again.

Ok - another 24 hours or so of run time, and a couple more things for the list...

  • Data is still hit & miss. Seems once it stays, it stays until reboot... but sometimes it takes 4-5 reboots to get it 'stable'
  • Screen does not wake upon incoming call = no visible caller ID = very frustrating!!
Ongoing - something is working very hard to not let the phone sleep fully. When its attempting, the light is orange for about 1.5 seconds, flashes green for half a second, then orange again. I will try to get a short video of it later to show what I mean.

Also I have noted that the screen wake up issue seems to be more of a time thing, than pressing other buttons. If I try to wake it up by hitting the button once... wait about 4 seconds and hit it again, it comes right on. This seems to be the only consistent way I can get it to come on.


I am considering switching to FRX06 tonight. How do I go about that? download the new file, and run the updater?

Just flash back a Windows ROM, the smaller the better. Then get the complete FRX06 build from Arrrghs post. I would then get the latest test kernel from his other thread thread. The one from wistilt2. Then you should be good to go.

NAND is the future, but as you say, there are still quite a few bugs that they are working on fixing. The screen wake up was the worst for me. It really needs to work much better, but I am sure that will come along down the road.

frx6 isnt ready yet. Lmiller has it somewhat working but there is some changes to make still. So i wouldnt bother until that is finalized.

People started reporting the data issue more when i put the new ril up. This may need a few tweaks to get it to come up properly. Bottom line is that we arent getting dns servers when the data goes up. So you get an IP and all the goodies but all name resolution fails.

wake up issue is just related to Power management. Now we have a pmmode in our cmdline. This is legacy but im not sure if we still need it. Anyone care to remove it and recompile to test ?

I havent had any time this weekend to work. And this week will be busy as well so i'll try my best to get some new stuff up. Right now its all in my brain so i just need to sit down for a few hours and write the code.

Interesting - I have tried once to access google by IP when in this state, and it didnt work. Whats really strange, is sometimes instead of saying 3G, it says G, sometimes 3, and sometimes E...

I figured as much on this - its a pain, but I can live with it for now, sadly, I can not recompile for you.

Can the sim card somehow prevent the mounting/unmounting of the YAFFS And that cause the loop on GSM ?

I'm not sure, but I think nate said that we're basically treating the SIM as an mmc/SD card - which obviously doesn't work.

Not sure where the progress is on that at the moment...
