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.

Or you can use the attached one arrrghhh included in the 1st post (download it and take out the .txt extension). I also attached mine if you want to use it; just download it, unzip and copy to your SD card (where your zImage, modules, startup.txt reside).

Wow... Thanks guys. I'm a little disappointed in myself that I overlooked that, but that is a very, very good point...

So, does the ts-calibration file solve it for you? Heh. Glad to have someone jump in and check my work :p.

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...

Mine looks like this

Quote:

set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2292
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off gsensor_axis=2,1,3 force_cdma=1 pm.sleep_mode=1 physkeyboard=rhod400 msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000"
boot

I see set cmdline "lcd. " et cetera doesn't have an equal symbol attaching it is that okay?

Also note the bold italic part is that the way you're talking about doing it?

I'm trying to boot with ts-caliberation.txt, so we'll see what happens... Also yes my SIM Card is out MoFo was a pain in the arse to get out haha!

You could have used your stylus to push it out-- makes it much easier. See below:

Just want to say thanks to arrrghhh for posting this build. I first tried Android on my TP2 a few weeks ago with Tiad's build. Was fun to use but I was having way too many reboots to be bale to use my phone for work and stuff.

Decided to try this build and it has been amazing for me so far. Been using it for a few days and I have only had 1 reboot. I have put the phone to a lot of use to test the stability. Installed around 20 apps. Even did text to speech voice navigation today for a 45 minute drive I had today even though I knew where I was going. Worked great.

I don't know the cause of the 1 reboot I did have. I had set my phone down to charge in my car. Looked down a few minutes later and noticed the phone was in WindowsMobile.

I used the calibration posted and installed to root. I did not change any kernels because to be honest, I didn't really know how to do it. Now I am glad I didn't change as this build has been great for me.

Oh yeah one minor issue I have had is my phone wouldn't go to sleep after using GPS. So I just turned off GPS in the location settings and then turn it back on when I need it.

If you use Windows, Droid Explorer makes it real easy.

Glad you like it! GPS killing sleep is a known issue unfortunately... If you feel like it, post your log from the reboot.

Noob question alert. Where do I find the logs to see if I can post?

There are several options:

you can install ADB on your PC and grab the latest SYSTEM_LAST_KMSG*.txt.gz in /data/system/dropbox folder to your PC; since you're relatively new, I wouldn't recommend this; it's sorta complicated.
you can launch the terminal emulator (Dev Tools app) and issue this command to copy SYSTEM_LAST_KMSG*.txt.gz from /data/system/dropbox to /sdcard, which is the root of the SD card which you can access via your PC after booting back to WinMo:

Quote:

su
cp /data/system/dropbox/SYSTEM_LAST_KMSG*.txt.gz /sdcard
you can install the attached RootExplorer app, launch it, go to /data/system/dropbox and copy the latest SYSTEM_LAST_KMSG*.txt.gz to /sdcard, which is the root of the SD card which you can access via your PC after booting back to WinMo.
you can install the standalone Droid Explorer (de - Release: Droid Explorer 0.8.7.2 Beta) on your PC and access the /data/system/dropbox folder with you phone (while it's in Android) hooked up via USB. Same thing here: grab the latest SYSTEM_LAST_KMSG*.txt.gz. Actually this will install ADB needed in option 1. :)

Once you get a hold of the latest SYSTEM_LAST_KMSG*.txt.gz log, just attach it here for arrrghhh and his team to look at. NOTE: by "latest", I mean "after the crash" you boot back into Android and grab the most recent dated SYSTEM_LAST_KMSG*.txt.gz file.

Wow thanks very much ndno. I am installing Droid Explorer as I type. I will play around with it tomorrow as I am tired.
