I'm still getting the error messages about the CDC messages, and I've tried pointing the phone to both the USB Drivers directory as well as the PDANet directory. Can't locate drivers in either location. Seems to work just fine without them however.

Thanks for the help! Would definitely recommend this solution to anyone running Android and trying to sync to Outlook. :headbang:

I'd like to post a thread to provide instructions and links to the required files...crediting you & arrrghhh, of course. Do I have your permission to do so?

Sure go ahead... wait for arrrghhh's response.

Trying it now with everything directly on the card, no folders or anything... I also remembered to revert the startup.txt back to its original form.

Man I hope this works!!!

Huh. Mine didn't, but it was a refurb... what is the SIM used for...? Certainly not to connect to Sprint's network...

Sure, I've always wanted to do an adb how-to but never got around to it. I was going to turn that thread I created into one in fact :p.

As far as the other two devices you can ignore them. Just tell Windows to not prompt you about that hardware anymore. One is for USB mass storage, which doesn't work, and the other is... I believe for USB tethering which doesn't work either without using a 3rd party app like "EasyTether". So you can safely ignore the other two unknown pieces of hardware ;).

Doesn't matter where it goes, assuming that it's within the quotes and there's a space between each item. Order is meaningless as well...

You're still on 1258 as well right? We can try adding another command to the startup.txt that fixes issues with SD cards, but with 1258 you shouldn't need it. Worse comes to worse, we'll add it.

It's a class 2, and bring on the new cmdlines... No luck yet so far... Grrrr! LMAO

I don't wanna be a bother, but I suppose it's helping everyone out and making progress and evolution with the project.

It doesn't seem like this will fix it, as usually people get a "Waiting for SD card" error or something similar when the problem is the SD... but here it is:

Code:

msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000

^^ just paste it anywhere within the quotes after the cmdline=. Again, just make sure there are spaces between each item within the quotes...

Well I'll add this discovery for the newbs

In order for Gen.Y Boot (Dual Boot App) to work..
YOU Must have the contents of whatever android folder all rooted directly onto your card. So no main folder and then all the others inside that folder, everything inside the main folder can't be in a folder like frx04 or andboot (Whatever name of kernel/distro)\ >then xdadroid files >, it all has to be directly on/in the main base location of your card.

Not true, you can change a registry entry within WinMo and you can direct Gen.Y to any directory... :p.

Feel free to peruse the Gen.Y XDA Thread.

Yea it looks like it is the same error, then every once in awhile it'll change the n go back to the same old error...

Wish there was a way I could record this or take a screen capture, to post what it's doing.

Also yea I'm still using the updated kernel.

I'm... pretty baffled. I need to know what error the phone is spitting out.

Did you change anything about the build, or just extract it to the SD card and move the startup.txt file? Do you have adb setup? Have you ever been able to boot before?

Just to be sure, you DID remove your SIM Card, right? That error message you posted was similar to the one I got when my SIM Card was in. :scratch:

I believe your problem is that you don't have a calibration file, and you're using one of the recent kernels that are busted for calibrating the screen. There's a prompt for you to be touching some squares to calibrate your screen is what I think is going on, but that prompt and the squares are covered by text, which is a bug in the 1253 kernel, so then it just sits there apparently not doing anything. You can solve this in one of three ways:

1) Go to arrrghhh's first post, and download the calibration file that he has attached, and stick it in your Android folder.
2) Start by booting with either 1258 or one of the kernels numbered 1234 or less I believe it was. Then you should be able to see the calibration squares you're supposed to be tapping.
3) Calibrate blind. 5 squares are going to come out, first in the top right, and then top left, then bottom left, and then bottom right, and then center I believe. They're about 1 cm from the corners of the screen. Just tap even though you can't see them, and your boot should continue. This approach is probably a bad idea.
