I now have everything in the root of the SD card. My startup.txt has "rel_path=andboot"
I'm still getting the same "failed to the rootfs....." soo i can't boot! Thanks for the quick response i really appreciate it!

From what Arrrghhh posted you need everything in the andboot folder not to the root if rel_path=andboot is your startup.txt....thats just how I read it, I may be way off since I'm a noober.

lol, I don't get why my previous post didn't make sense.

If you have everything at the root of the SD, do not use rel_path=. However, if you have everything - say in a folder 'andboot' off the root of the SD - then use rel_path=andboot in your startup.txt.

Hopefully that makes sense...

Hop on IRC if you have a few minutes, I think you're missing something vital. Might need to start over fresh, format the card and redownload etc.

You were being clear and i understand the rel_whatever is the name of the folder in the SD where the files are. it just doesn't work. I'll re-format and try again! Thanks again

Per post 1.
\Storage Card\ (no rel_path needed in startup.txt)
\Storage Card\andboot (rel_path=andboot)
\Storage Card\bubblegum (rel_path=bubblegum) you can put where you want!

All files need to be put in same place.

Teredog, what a great thread! I wish I had found this prior to me updating my TP2 to droid! I was able to find most of what's needed on XDA, but I would've saved time and headaches if I saw this first!

I have found 2-3 additional items that have made my install work great! I no longer use Windows Mobile, I'm running FRX06 24-hours/day. I'm nearly bug free, this will save me some $$$ since I'm a Sprint SERO user.

Hey, in addition to this thread I also like your avatar, you're a fan of a great team!

Maybe you have cdma=1 inside your startup.txt ? make that =0 and try again, it worked for me on the gingerbread version.

Another thing, after replacing the kernel like I was suggested now GSM signal is fine but Camera is not working. Also the GPS is crasing the OS and I have to pull out the battery.
