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 ...

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?

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.

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

just modified my prl and changed my msl to 000000 and activated it on page plus so ima flash to android and c if i can get anywhere with it (btw im a dealer so if anyone wants to test i can get them free activation plus its not that hard to change find and change the msl and manually update prl so u can ota program it so gimme a holler if anyone wants to try) i will flash and tell if i can get data lol

[m4f1050]

Only if Page Plus had free internet/web...Boost mobile seems like a better option still (IMHO), I'm down to $45 next month! Woot!

My buddy switched from TMobile to Sprint (got an EVO) so I never got to test the GSM side, sorry guys.
