I extracted the files from the android_05 folder. Then made a folder in my sd card named Android, put all of the extracted files in there. Then this is the part where I am confused > the root folder of my sd card is DCIM? I have been looking everywhere trying to find out where that ROOT FOLDER is at and I can't figure it out! Is this causing my problem? Am I not letting it load completely? I really wanna be a part of Android, currently using Ubuntu and it's the best thing in the world, thanx for any help in advance...

hey not a problem, the root of any device or anything is just what would be / in your filesystem. So you should just be able to go to your desktop, and mount your sd card. Right there in your card, w/o going into any folders or anything, is the root. So place the files there

1. Have you been keeping up with the xda thread as well? Dzo has been trying to help out a couple others that have had touchscreen problems, and has also instructed them on how to get a debug file generated from android so as to further help him with issues. I know that its a lot, but (if you haven't already) I would strongly recommend reading through the last 20 pages or so of the thread, and try every zImage/whatever that he ever posts there, also try generating your own debug.txt using his directions.

2. It could also definitely be a problem with your radio. Some have been helped by upgrading, some not. Be sure to update to 3.42.50 and then proceed to check out other things.

3. What fs do you have your card on? What brand and size are your card? This could be the issue as well.

4. Like others and myself have read, delete every little possible thing you can find concerning Android on your phone and card. Be sure to be using a file explorer that will show all files, perhaps you have not overwritten old files, but have also not deleted them simply because they are not all showing up.

5. Very unlikely, but not impossible perhaps that it could be an issue with your rom. I really would trying this before anything else: flash your device to the newest radio, and leave on the rom that comes with doing this. Then put data.gz and system.gz in the root of your card. Place haret.exe, zimage, default.txt, and initrd.gz in a folder in the root of your device called "Android". Do nothing with AndroidApps.

6. Make a post with every single stat you can think of. OS of comp being used for all this, radio, carrier, rom, card fs, card brand, card size, EVERYTHING...then stick a link to that post in your sig, that way we can always have access to what may be the problem.

7. I also assume that you disable gps before booting?

Be sure to report back and keep us posted

Good luck,
Jim.

the androidapps folder, and what I had in it (too much!), was the problem. Last night I got android to boot and the touch screen was responsive, and .... it recognized my sd card and the .mp3s etc. that I have there. Very cool!! thanks for all the help!! and yes, I do read the android/vogue thread on xda.

Hey man thanx for the help. I feel like I am one step closer to experiencing Android! Only thing now is that when I run the haret.exe file, it runs fine but it gets to a point where it's just doing an endless loop. I can see that is says:

"Attempt to access beyond end of device"

Here is what I did: copied and pasted data.gz and system.gz into /StorageCard

Then, I put the rest of the files in a folder named Android in My Device.

P.S. I am running WM 6.1, does this have anything to do with my issue?

What am I doing wrong here? I am sorry for being so dumb lol... I hate it when this happens

i used the 11.05 cab and installed to device - working PERFECTLY . . . well, except one thing - it doesn't find my music! does anybody know where it looks for music on the device? right now it's on my storage card under "My Music" . . .

you have an incompatible memory card. I used to have endless loops and changed the brand and it works great, but try a different brand.

what brand are you using?

So since 1.0 is out, and it's open sourced, how long do you think it will be before a possible flashable/fully functional Android ROM is made? (In terms of months, I'm thinking 3-6)

[bugzy]

3-6 months sounds reasonable


I'm using a 2GB transcend MicroSD card

Actually, I was replying to mx51 and anyone else with endless loop problems, but I use a sandisk 512mb. I tried kingston and kingmax and they didn't work.
