What do I do ?

Uhm I think a good question would be "what did you do?" Assuming you've just updated the zImage, modules & rootfs I have no clue.

Try a clean build, format the SD, etc.

That probably means some sort of corruption in your data.img. Move it out and try with a fresh one.

It's a hassle when that happens, because you have to do the equivalent of hard resetting your android system, and then have to re-input all your data, and reinstall your apps.

(which is a good reason to keep backups of data.img.)

some of us have the hopes that the tp1, tp2, and diamond will be the android phones of choice on sero. since sero has no android supported phones, i think that the developement on these will continue.

How do you back up the data.img ?

**makkonen** · #**2035** (**permalink**) 04-13-2010, 06:32 PM

Just make a copy of it. It's in /sdcard/andboot/.

Cool, So I make a copy of that delete the one in there already and put the copied one back in, then it should be fixed ?

Well, if you'd copied it before it started looping, yes. If you copy it now, it won't do any good. It's a good practice for the future.

For now, just delete data.img, don't worry about making a copy.

Hey everybody,

First off, thanks to everyone for making this work. I'm extremely excited for upcoming releases on this project as the current status is very very very workable.

I have the 3-31 package running very well, but I have a couple of problems/questions:

Is there any reason why very few of my Exchange Server contacts sync to the phone? I only get ~25 of my 300 contacts.

The screen has suddenly decided to stay dim all the time. I go to adjust the brightness settings and it will brighten up while adjusting but then go right back. Has anybody seen this before?

thanks!

I guess it would have helped if I searched first right? Sorry. I adjusted the backlight settings in WM first and it works fine. Still not sure about the Exchange contacts though.
