[NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Coming soon

Re: [nand rom] -tba
 

Mr. X says: Reserved for updates, or LOLcats <-- thanks buddy

Update 3/1/2011 :

Some good testing went on and we are close to getting this done. Right now one bug that still needs to get resolved is the lack of cdma data. We know what caused it and how to fix it, just havent gotten around to do it yet so if you have gotten as far as booting but have no cdma data. Hang tight we are almost there.

Update 3/6/2011 :

Thanks to Boominsvx for getting my tp2 on boostmobile. cdma data issue has been fixed and its undergoing more testing. We still need more talent to be able to identify bugs and communicate the root cause properly. For example "it doesnt work" is unacceptable. Need logs and a logic behind it.

Testing on a cyanogen build has started. A dev version will be released soon. Nothing is working yet but it boots.

Update 3/9/2011 :

Cyanogen is too unstable right now. So concentrating on Gingerbread. Frx5 is ready for nand testing thanks to lmiller. We seem to have some camera issues but that may be kernel related meaning i need to get to work :-p.

Update 3/12/2011:

Frx5 is finally stable and installable. Thanks to all how helped test it. The recovery/installer is being worked on right now and hopefully will be done by mid next week. Eventually i need to head back to working on the kernel to bring the rest of the features over, but that wont happen until we are able to backup/restore and update via the recovery so for those of you who have kernel complaints, dont worry i am a kernel dev after all.lol.

Update 3/17/2011:

Release will be out this week.

LoL...

NAND is GRAND! :-) I am just a Noob. So I'll stay put!

Some catch phrases...

Re: [nand rom] -tba
 

I love to sing-a... about the moon-a and the june-a and the spring-a... I love to sing-a.

The promise this thread has makes me smile... NAND ho! Full speed ahead! :D

Re: [nand rom] -tba
 

I was just handed a retired Sprint TP2 today. I am at your disposal. :)

thanks & looking forward to it.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

:headbang:Nice! More people to help the better! :headbang:

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

did i miss this "commited" stuff?

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

yup ... you did nand kernel is the same. What changed is the initrd we use for installing on nand. Its all in the tinboot git repo.

the xdandroid itself is not on git. That im only sending to a few individuals who PMed me.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

anyone help with this trying to compile with latest tinboot commit?

makexip.sh: 24: arm-eabi-as: not found
makexip.sh: 25: arm-eabi-objcopy: not found

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

You need a arm-eabi cross compiler installed

try
http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/devkitARM/

Make sure you include it in your Environment.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

jigga, nah. i needed this:

$TOOLCHAIN_PATH-as tinboot/tinboot2.S -o tinboot.o --defsym $1=1 --defsym MTYPE=2292 --defsym hw3d=1
$TOOLCHAIN_PATH-objcopy tinboot.o -O binary tinbootxip
mv tinbootxip xip/$1

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Looks like your cross-compiler is not set up or the location of it is not in your $PATH.

Edit: never mind, you figured it out... sorry, I'm just an interested lookie loo. I'll stay out of this thread as ACL stated. LOL at the 2nd post... classic!

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

First round of PMs went out. For those of you who have a GSM rhod and have some kernel experience, then help fix that portion as none of us have gsm rhods.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

I'm midnight on neopeek forum and helicopter88 on xda(the chef of Huawei port)
I'm interested in nand,but i have a diam100
A question,is better to use Ubuntu or Fedora for kernel/tinboot compiling?

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

We currently use Ubuntu. But this is only for the TP2...

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

I know is TP2 only,but maybe it can be ported,and I'll have to install ubuntu...

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Ok! That's what I was hoping you were going to say. :)

Welcome! Nate put together a really good guide HERE to get started in Ubuntu, not too sure what the differences are between the two systems but if you want to try Fedora go right ahead.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

OT:To me fedora seems faster,and the differences i saw are in the install of software and in gaining root/superuser access
Tomorrow(italian tomorrow)will try to compile a kernel and/or tinboot,as someone told me,the thing that needs to be fixed is mtype in tinboot.s

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

The mtype is correct but the RAM_SIZE is what we can not fine.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

I have been following this thread some time. I downloaded / compiled all the stuff with some minor modifications for mij topa100.

I have the full nand version installed. but it hangs like previous versions on SMD OPENING like the RHOD 100 GSM models. I was wondering if RHOD100 GSM / TOPA100 would boot if these changes : linux-msm in Linux on Qualcomm's MSM - Gitorious where merged in the nand kernel.

PS : There is omething wrong with the makenbh / payload file in the bootenv in git.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

See my Post HERE. The *.sh files in the tinboot-linux-msn folder need to be updated. I will work on that today and pass them to ACL. :) But for the mean time use the above link to get you flashing.

EDIT: Didn't read your post fully. ;) You P.S is the only thing I answered for you. ACL should be able to help out with the rest.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

I'll work on the autobuild to release NHBs and Android updates automatically for the future for all the chefs so yall dont have to build your own kernels. Sorry for not doing this before but i really wanted to get more people involved.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Good Idea ACL! Not much needs to be changed in the NBH anyway besides the kernal...

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Done. I havent had a chance to test it but the script was updated to use the latest poop

Index of /files/rhodium_nand/

NBH and matching android update for the modules. The rest of the stuff (androidinstall and install script) remains the same.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

no good bro, got another one for me?>

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Not sure buddy.. works for me. Where are you failing ?

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

We both get stuck at the initial boot logo screen. I believe mine is 'OEM', and it's the white background with the green HTC logo. The very first splash you see in other words - just hangs there forever. Never gets past it...

When I was making those messed up nbh's, I would at least see Android trying to install - it was just failing to find /dev/mtd.

Not sure what we're doing wrong, other than flashing via SD maybe? Lmiler thought that was the issue, I haven't tried via USB, but MassStash said he did and it failed as well...

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

what, so you arent even flashing ? ahh no good. I just tried the downloaded version and reinstalled it completely wit no issues. Actually it's too perfect :-p .. Ok, so try flashing another way i suppose.

Do you get the double vibration or just it freezes there ? If it just stays frozen and there is no double vibration, then its a bad flash. If you get the double vibration but there is no black screen with log, means the kernel is crashing somewhere.

Also i always flash via SD. Its just how i do and thats why i always name my images rhodimg.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Guys Try using this NBH... Use the same androidupdate.tar I gave you yesterday.

I added Rhod500 back in because it looks like this line needs it at the $1:

$TOOLCHAIN_PATH-as tinboot/tinboot2.S -o tinboot.o --defsym $1=1 --defsym MTYPE=2292 --defsym hw3d=1


Not sure if it will work or not... But It's worth a try.
It's just really weird that it worked just fine for me and ACL but no one else. (Or we have really special phones:headbang:)

Sounds like it doesn't matter how you flash it either. ;)
Good luck!

Edit: Removed Attachment... Didn't work!

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

I'll try this again shortly. Thanks Lmiller!

[ACL] - bad flash for sure. Never get the double vibe. I'll post back with results... hopefully good ones! :D

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Just as a heads up, the NBH's don't work for me using the rhod_layout partition table, but if I use the old method, it boots right up. I've tested this with the latest initrd.gz and zImage. I'll try hex-editing ACL or LMiller's NBH to change the partition to the same as the previous one was and see if I have the same results.

Unfortunately, if I change to the old partition layout, it says it can't find the root partition. Perhaps that needs to be added back into the init for initrd? I'll play with that later today as well.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

which androidupdate yesterday?

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Still doesn't work bro. We'll sort it out.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

well our phones have been wiped many times already ..lol.. probably got used to it. Sounds like Nate is up to something so let see his results.

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

maybe try a good ol fashioned task 29 or whatever task wipes everything ?

Just tried again on my second rhod. Works like a charm .. So something is messing up your flash. Bad sd ? possible bad blocks on nand?

time for some mtty ?

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Yup! :) Hopefully he finds something. Working with arrrghhh on Xdandroid chat now. Trying a couple of things... But so far not working. :(

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Task29 is on the list, it's been a while since I've done one of those...

I also have a couple of other SD's, but honestly it doesn't seem to be making it to that stage... I could be wrong tho. If the task29 doesn't do anything, another SD is on the list.

Thanks for the help, we'll figure this out...

Task29, 3 different SD cards... Still status quo. Not sure what's up with this...

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

it was working before with your compiles argh, i dont think its card. we need something from nate to try, like the no rhod_payload to see if we can just get to that stage with our particular phone....

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

Well, we found that I was able to flash the old image that blew up data on every reboot... but when I tried to flash with the new table it fails... just hangs at the initial boot screen.

Seems it is that new table...

Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only
 

I will have a look at the new table tomorrow and hopefully have something for you guys to test tomorrow!
