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

[thisdude23]

I've got a little problem here. I've stuck in the power cycle and I keep following the steps to restart my phone but I'm having horrible luck. If I use a friend's battery will that solve this problem or do I need to continue with the steps?

I've been at this for about two hours so needless to say I'm pretty frustrated at this point.

So weird. My phone dies on me at least once a day because of the hardware problem I have, and I never get the boot loop.

Anyway, yes, a battery from a friend should fix it. Wish we could find a way to get charging working in the bootloader.

Hi Natemcnutty, can you help me with rhod100? i have a loop boot when i insert the sim card! can i hack any string or any parameter to resolve this problem?

Good deal, I switched it with a buddy so life is good again.

Ok - another 24 hours or so of run time, and a couple more things for the list...

• Data is still hit & miss. Seems once it stays, it stays until reboot... but sometimes it takes 4-5 reboots to get it 'stable'
• Screen does not wake upon incoming call = no visible caller ID = very frustrating!!

Ongoing - something is working very hard to not let the phone sleep fully. When its attempting, the light is orange for about 1.5 seconds, flashes green for half a second, then orange again. I will try to get a short video of it later to show what I mean.

Also I have noted that the screen wake up issue seems to be more of a time thing, than pressing other buttons. If I try to wake it up by hitting the button once... wait about 4 seconds and hit it again, it comes right on. This seems to be the only consistent way I can get it to come on.


I am considering switching to FRX06 tonight. How do I go about that? download the new file, and run the updater?

Just flash back a Windows ROM, the smaller the better. Then get the complete FRX06 build from Arrrghs post. I would then get the latest test kernel from his other thread thread. The one from wistilt2. Then you should be good to go.

NAND is the future, but as you say, there are still quite a few bugs that they are working on fixing. The screen wake up was the worst for me. It really needs to work much better, but I am sure that will come along down the road.

frx6 isnt ready yet. Lmiller has it somewhat working but there is some changes to make still. So i wouldnt bother until that is finalized.

People started reporting the data issue more when i put the new ril up. This may need a few tweaks to get it to come up properly. Bottom line is that we arent getting dns servers when the data goes up. So you get an IP and all the goodies but all name resolution fails.

wake up issue is just related to Power management. Now we have a pmmode in our cmdline. This is legacy but im not sure if we still need it. Anyone care to remove it and recompile to test ?

I havent had any time this weekend to work. And this week will be busy as well so i'll try my best to get some new stuff up. Right now its all in my brain so i just need to sit down for a few hours and write the code.

Interesting - I have tried once to access google by IP when in this state, and it didnt work. Whats really strange, is sometimes instead of saying 3G, it says G, sometimes 3, and sometimes E...

I figured as much on this - its a pain, but I can live with it for now, sadly, I can not recompile for you.

Understood, and I know how you feel! thanks for all the hard work!

Can the sim card somehow prevent the mounting/unmounting of the YAFFS And that cause the loop on GSM ?

I'm not sure, but I think nate said that we're basically treating the SIM as an mmc/SD card - which obviously doesn't work.

Not sure where the progress is on that at the moment...
