That whole unmount and checkpoint thing isnt right.

Ok sounds good. I'm going to clean up my initrd a bit and I will share it with you guys.

Still have yet to get data to work... But it's probably something with my APN settings.
Been running this for a couple of hours now with no issues besides that.
Everything seems to work just like before. (Besides data

)

i need you to test something. After you install and boot to android, can you dump nand to a file ..then we can compare to see if nand has the data.

I should be able to cat the thing to my sdcard right? Not having ADB is a real pita... Also, I think I may have gotten the push stuff working this morning. It helps if I install ssh first...

Edit: Also, I seem to be having the same issue as LMiller now where the system partition and data partition are wiped on a reboot. I wonder if a successful boot into Android is required to get the system partition to stay there...

yeah lmiler was able to cat out data from /dev/mtd so if it looks good in a hex editor, then data must be there.

To make this test valid, we need to wipe the partition, verify is wiped. write data.. cat out data, reboot and cat out data again..

Weird. Well, I guess I'll make a custom init that wipes the partition, cats it out to the sdcard, then copies data to sys and data, and cat that out to the sdcard too. Since I have no USB, I can't mtty or do any of that kind of stuff

Also, are you guys getting a fair number of bad block warnings when you mount or format? I also noticed that isCheckpointed is set to 0 on a reboot where it says 1 on the first boot.

I dont get any bad block warnings. Sucks you have no usb, i cant imagine your frustration.

Maybe you could push your changes to tinboot and bootenv when you get a chance. The thing that is most frustrating is that I don't have a soldering iron small enough to attempt fixing the damn phone, lol.
