[CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [01/23] FRX04 Reference!

[bdurst08]

I have downloaded the lastes updates from the updater. I am having slight problem. the phone boots over and then 2 things happen. 1) It sits there for a minute and then auto-resets. 2) before it auto -resets i have no service. Yes i have taken my Sim card out.

Any reason that this could be happening. I have tried this 4-5 time now and the same thing happens everytime.
Any advice? Thanks!!

Did you update the zimage/modules using that tool? Its broken at the moment. Manually update your zimage/modules from the Project Tracking page on my web page.

The kernel, which will be an archive. Unzip it and rename the zimage-#####blahblah file to just "zimage". Delete the old zimage and modules, and then replace them with the newly downloaded ones. Its all very simple once you try.

The rootfs updater and initrd updater both work fine still, but they move the web page for the zimage/modules (kernel) so i will need to change that in the startup app as well.

Sorry to answer my own question, but I thought I'd post what I did:

From the download, i copied over the following files to the andboot folder on my SD card:

initrd.gz
modules-2......gz (i.e. the modules file)
rootfs.img
system.ext2
zImage

Note did not touch the startup.txt or the ts-calibration file. From looking at the directory, this noob would say all my personal stuff (apps, customizations, etc) are in the data.img file.

In any case, after doing the above, the phone booted right up no problem. I presume this gives me the latest updates?? Anyone care to comment on what I did and how you verify this update from within Android?? {Answer to my question: in Settings, About Phone, the Kernel version matches the modules-X.X....etc number thus I will assume this is the latest and greatest now on my phone. Thanks again!!!}

Thanks...this forum is awesome and certainly has greatly extended the life of many TP2's!!

That is correct. Data.img file stores all personal info.
