Backup everything on the card and format with the HP Tool. Full format, FAT32. Feel free to backup & restore, or start fresh, your choice.

If everything is at the root of the SD, you don't need rel_path. rel_path=andboot would indicate that all the files are in andboot.... not at the root.

There's also a registry key associated to Gen.Y - but that's really outside of the scope of this thread, please see the xda-thread on this topic.

I appreciate the help, reformatted card & copied files back on & working fine now, need to try to make it work with SIM card in next, but happy is working without it now, thanks

hi arrrghhh,
with the lastest build on 18/6/2011, the problem lost signal when phone going to deep sleep is gone.
Now, i can use wifi and 3g to connect to internet, but i can not log in into android market with both of wifi or 3g ( of course i have an google account).
i looking around in internet and someone said that i need hard reset. but the problem is i using android on sd card, and when using hard reset function, nothing happen.
So, do you happen have any guess for this bug(maybe), or a solution to workaround

Thanks

sol

What does it do? What build are you using? I'd appreciate if you post in the build thread.

Hard reset seems drastic, have you tried a new data.img?

[solnt]

I using this build: htc-msm-linux @ 20110618_144657 with all config that was introduced at here : Introduction to Android - SD Card - xda-developers
It's work seem all fine with me compare with those comment on the auto build site
ah, my device is rhod500 - verizon tp2
I will try with new data.img and will report back

sol

P/s: "post in the build thread." you mean in the xda site???

Build thread = FRX06, GBX0A...

You listed which kernel you're using. When I say build I mean which system image basically...

[teradog]

OK, so for fun, I dumped everything, DL'd
FRX06_Full_Bundle_25.3.2011.zip & haret-package-2010-11-23.zip from files.xdandroid.com

Then the newest files from these:
Kernal (zImage/module), rootfs, initramfs

You have to unzip them & then rename or delete old ones, then rename new ones to old names...

I rename \windows\startup to \windows\1 startup (which ensures nothing is running & no overclocking that would interfere with the Android boot). Then reboot, take out battery & IMMEDIATELY ran \storage card\haret.exe upon boot.

First time it builds data.img file with becomes your Android OS (for simplicity). It didn't build & hung on tiny white words (K.I.S.S). Reboot again, still hung, same place, waited 5 min each time. Did again.

Then went & edit my startup.txt file & deleted the overclocking (OC) statement "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800". Ran haret.exe again & it built & booted into Android. (Can put the OC file back later after it builds the data.img file on the first successful boot).

Have most of the newest stuff & it runs. Why did I type this up? There are zillions of posts & threads on multiple web sites, easy to get lost... This was the way I just did it.

One issue so far & it's documented in the notes of here repost from above: Kernal (zImage/module)

The newest 6/22 Kernal info under the build re. rhod400 says:
"Rhod400: ... Still have Roaming Indicator ON (text on lock screen, triangle icon everywhere else)."

Yep, mine always has the roaming indicator on also...

--->> GO TO POST 163 next page to turn off roaming indicator


OLDER STOP DON"T READ
Some discussion here, here:
Looks like either an old issue or it popped up again since April 30.
rootfs-20110430-69355b8.zip Commit Log commit 69355b8 Author: Bryan Stine Date: Sat Apr 30 19:31:45 2011 -0400 Sync froyo ril blob from hyc's codebase. This will result in a roaming indicator on FRX06 in CDMA mode.

I have not been around much & don't know if some of the old fixes here: 79 in May work...

Anyone?



Interesting tid bits...

• Phone Settings menu to select what mode you want... get to it by dialing *#*#INFO#*#*
• "3G" - look at Settings / About Phone / Status : Mobile network type 574
• "This version now switches into CDMA mode automatically; you no longer need to set the default_network property or muck with sqlite3. If you have a rhod400/rhod500 and no SIM card installed, your phone will use CDMA by default. If you have a SIM card installed, it will default to GSM and you'll have to switch to CDMA yourself. If you're using my updated Phone.apk (a new version of that as well, not yet uploaded) then the World Phone menu will be enabled automatically and you can use that to select the mode. Otherwise just use the *#*#INFO#*#* phone menu."

Holy cow batman, when you make a post you make a post!

So the comments on the kernel page made me laugh, because the kernel has nothing to do with it. You're sir diligent tho (kudos ) and you found the answer yourself! Well kinda. The rootfs is the culprit, ultimately the RIL within it. There's a new RIL, and basically the roaming indicator is bogus, can be ignored.

To fix it, you need to adjust your /data/eri.xml file per this post.
