if everything is the newest, it sounds like the data.img is still causing issues. the bootloop has been fixed with newest files but if you haven't deleted data.img it can still linger in there.

I had to delete the entire andboot folder including data.img and start fresh and now it's working.

So if I wanted to update the AIO to the newest builds, how can I do that? Can I just copy the files into the andboot folder? (last time i did this it froze after harete but before the scrolling text.)

Or do I need to delete the data.img and then copy the new files, or do they need to be only in the root of the SD?

EDit:
After some experimenting, I copied over rootfs, modules, initrd and zimage from the june 21 package.


What's the difference between the AIO package in the OP and the AIO at XDA? (besides having the tweaked startup.txt already included where it needs to be).

if you are using the andboot folder, nothing goes into the root, it all goes into andboot.

generally when new files come out, i replace the zimage and modules, the rootfs.img and the system.sqsh (system.ext2 if you use that one). also the init files when those come out but those are more rare.

i haven't deleted my data.img in ages. but i haven't had the issues with the bootloop that alot of people have. deleting the data.img is like doing a hardreset so when all else fails, thats what to do.

I got one here for someone. I got everything to work, so-to-speak but I cannot for the life of me get my Google account to hook up, what am I doing wrong? It something about the server can't be reached but I checked the APN and set it up as stated in the first post on instructions. What do I do?

Do i need both system.ext2 and system.sqsh ?

If not, which one should I choose?

you do not, it's one or the other. system.sqsh is simple and easy. it's a locked system so you can't do anything to hurt it but you can't add system files to it. you really shouldn't ever need to so there is no harm and for the most part, the system.sqsh is the preferred system to use.


system.ext2 is an open system (you can read/write). it's a little bigger (150mb) than the system.sqsh (50mb).

I can get online but just can sync up my google account. Where else could or should I be looking?

well if you can get online, then data is working. next suggestion would be to double or tripple check your username and password. try username@gmail.com and username without the @gmail.com. make sure caps are off. i can't think of any reason google sync wouldn't work as long as data is working.
