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

OK, so I highly recommend double checking the size of your NBH before you go flashing :P

I thought I'd go back and do a clean pull of tinboot since I've messed with so much crap. Well, something went wrong with the compile, but the NBH was output at like 1 MB or something instead of 3 MB. The flash never finished and the phone wouldn't boot.

Awesome part, keep a stock ROM on your sd card and flash that. it repaired it for me, but for some reason, I have not been able to get a tinboot to work since. Still looking at why that is.

Edit: OK, so I can boot into WinMo, but none of my tinboot NBH's work anymore. Is it possible I f'd up part of the NAND? Really wish I could Task 29 this stupid thing. LMiller or ACL, would either of you mind upping your most recent NBH for me to test?

Edit 2: Well, the battery drained out while in WinMo, and now the phone is totally shot. Can't boot into WinMo and fails to find RHODIMG.nbh on the sd card. Think I'm taking it into the store tomorrow to see what they can do.

damm, it won't recognize the nbh at all?> sure its not dead bat loop, let it charge for a minute.....? hopefully...

attached is task_29.nbh.... just in case

you can't just sdcard flash the task_29?

my phone works, but i can't get my nbh's to do anything. i just get sit at first bootsplash...

Wow, looks like you have it bad. Sounds like you may have a bad NAND block in the area where the NBH resides. I have worked a little with the OMAP processor at my work; our board comes with a POP NAND/RAM combo and once it a while we get a board in which one of the first few blocks is bad; since our bootloader (u-boot) resides in first few blocks, we can't do anything but have to replace the NAND part. Hopefully, the NAND didn't get messed up for you, like MassStash stated, it may be a battery issue.

Nah, Task 29 won't help you here... It's most likely your initrd.gz not unpacking. Make sure your script to build your NBH is correct too.
Here is the script I use to build it... (It's just a modified one from you )
#!/bin/sh #-------------------------------------- - Build Kernal

And also PM sent.

Also some PMs were sent to cookers with instructions. lets see if they can help debug. In the mean time i need to go back and tend to the kernel. So i wont be doing much more changes to this build.

Ok I will wait and see if someone else can figure it out! Thanks for you help!

That is great about the cookers! Hopefully we will get a NAND ROM real soon... And all my problems will be fixed...

Perhaps if you try it on an open network, just to see?

Nope. Weird part is that is works just fine on my wifes TP2 (Haret). So it's something to do with my kernel or something not enabled...

Nahh i went through the same thing. Actually one time the battery fell off while flashing and i was able to recover.

How big is your NBH? should be around 3mb or so. I had the exact same issue when my initrd was the wrong size. I uploaded the binary initrd.gz on git so we have a base. So feel free to use that one for now to boot.

also we are using the rhod_payload now and not that other old bulky payload.

Make it your everest. I started working on the kernel again yest so i wont be able to make time for this build. Hopefully the cookers can help out. Ive been able to use my rhod happily. That damn system server issue tho keeps popping up ..

Hrm, that's definitely squashed on haret. I know you guys collapsed the rootfs, did that patch on libsensors make it in there?

I thought i did, but i could be wrong. I'm leaving it up to the cookers right now. Camera patch is taking all my time.

Arrgg? you wanna try this bad boy? i think your android knowledge is far beyond the average joe so if you want, let me know and ill send u the instructions.

You have a PM sir .

Thanks dood. I should have some downtime this afternoon, I hope to have something productive done in respect to flashing .
