Thanks for everyone's help.

1) take out battery/charging wire
2) put in battery (phone should still be off)
3) put in charging wire (phone should stay off)

at this point, the light should turn orange, even though its off. let it charge for 30+ min, and you should just turn it on w/ the power button and be good to go!

My problem is that my phone seems to come on automatically as soon as it has enough charge to do so, then it wont get past the boot cycle, then it will reboot because it didnt finish the boot cycle. ... I'm abou tto go to spring and just tell them that "i'm testing to see if it is my charger or my battery. can you charge this battery for me?" then I'll tkae it home charged...

I dont even have android installed, I made the mistake of starting hte process with a battery that wasn't fully charged I guess... so it died in the middle... been without my phone for a whole day now I can't seem to get the bastard to keep enough charge.

I can confirm working SU. I didn't adb pull / adb push, what I did was remounted /system rw and edited the file the init.rc links to with vi and then saved changes, rebooted, worked like a charm!

EDIT: Pandora or XIIA Live wont stream

Wholy shizzz. This took me long time to read through pages 100 til 178. Have forgotten already most parts of 'em! Should get my Rhodium either today or tomorrow. After that I may help out with CWM Recovery + ROM-dev. First thing to do is to browse through all commits and try out the latest ROM offered here. Will keep you guys updated after I have successfully flashed the first NBH.

Welcome, glad you will be joining the tp2 family soon.

I'll save you a lot of time with CWM recovery since i already tried. Its mostly useless for us, the functionality it brings really doesnt apply to our devices. We cant communicate with the boot-loader like native devices can. So right away most of the fun is lost. I ended up writing our own recovery for this reason.

If you are interested in a good project, porting cyanogen 7 would be interesting. I tried cm6 for a while and it sucks so i didn't continue. I much rather concentrate on xdandroid GB or cm7. Porting it from source would be more ideal.

Err, as per this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/2067605-post1702.html
I'm going to leave my battery out for a long time, and then try again. I guess the issue is that it was shut down uncleanly and it remembers that it should be on.. so it immediately powers on as soon as it has enough charge, but its not enough to finish the boot.

If it doesn't work by morning, I'll have someone else charge my darn battery.

Someone said something about a car charger working better as well?

*Shrug*, you've got nothing to lose. Charging in another phone should work also .

Let us all learn from this and several others who have done the same - don't let your battery die!!

I actually tried a car charger too.. I thought I was making progress. but in the end I wasn't.

I accidently set out to install android with a low battery... bad idea.. MAKE SUR EYOU HAVE A FULL BATTERY BEFORE YOU TRY THIS. You dont want it going dead in the middle!

i cant seem to replicate this. Well its because i cant really drain my batt that fast since i'm always ADBd in. So i need your help

First, when your batt is dead. Is the phone completely off? did you take the batt out and just make sure its really dead.

Ok once you are sure its off, put the batt back in. And when you do this, the phone boots on its own ? i cant see how this is even possible

Ok so lets say it doesnt turn on on its own. So batt is in, you plug it in, then the phone goes on on its own ? randomly? or as soon as you plug in.

I dont have an AC charger so maybe i need one to replicate..
