yup, pillaging code is what I'm good at. I'll look at finishing up what I was working on and test it on my phone. At this point, I could really care less if I bricked the thing. Since my USB is stuck on all the time, I lose battery in about 8 hours

ahh man .. did you try to mtty to bootloader yet and do the task 2* from there ? thats what fixed my issue last time. task29 itself did nothing.

If you want to get started and testing. You can try to download the hd2-nand.c file from the nand tree. Just remove everything in our msm-nand.c with the stuff from that file. Once you have that you should be where im at.

I also added the msm-nand.h file? I got a bunch of compile warnings and then it errored out. Not sure what I'm missing...

I can wait until you commit. Maybe...

Thanks!

I can't mtty because it won't switch over to USB in bootloader (unless there is another way). It just stays on Serial and never changes, and I have tried everything I know how. I've been looking into JTAG options, but all I can find are retail kits

Edit: The USB connection is never seen by the computer, in Android or in WinMo. The phone just thinks it is hooked up to a charger.

Nate have you tried another cable? I had this problem until I switched to a new one.

I'm SURE this has been mentioned before, but maybe you haven't used enough horsepower...

I've heard of things getting stuck in there and mucking up USB in this manner. Maybe you've tried blowing in there - have you tried anything like canned air, an air compressor, or even a shop vac in 'blow' mode? Maybe you'll get lucky...

I've got about 12 different USB cables that I've tried, including the special ones with 2x USB to 1x mini-USB connector (for powering laptop drives that exceed 500ma). I have three original HTC cables that came with the phone (and two others at work that are the same). Sadly, none of them work.

Wish it were that simple. I've used canned air as well as a plastic brush we commonly use to clean the fans on servers. It looks perfectly clean in there, so my thought is it must be the connector to the board or something wrong with the bootloader itself. Sadly, I can't re-flash HSPL since I have no USB...

that sucks... I figured you would've tried that already. I'm assuming you don't carry insurance on the device...? Although, if it's flashed to Android, they probably won't be too happy if you take it in like that...

I'd say the only option there is to dunk it in water and hope they can't figure out what you did to it .

wow so this is possibly hardware issue. So what do you have in there now that boots ? if its android then when you plug usb in, dmesg shouldnt see any gpios trigger.

have you tried going back to oem winmo via sdcard and praying ?

Big time props to ACL, Nate, and Lmiller for the continued work on the NAND stuff. This is the future for our TP2's. Not that the masses know or care, but they will someday when you guys get done.

Keep up the good work!
