no2chem basekit 5059 using BuldOS disabled storage card

dopey · #1 (**permalink**) 03-26-2008, 08:47 PM

First of all I need to say that PPCKitchen, BuildOS, and the no2chem basekit is just F'n awsome! I've never had so much fun customizing my phone!

Now on to the problem... I'm very much a noob to cooking my own rom, so I'm sure I just missed a setting somewhere, but I've so far have had no luck finding it. I got just about everything working they way I want it, but the microSD card is disabled. Is there a special package that I missed or a registry tweak that I need to set?

I'm attaching my project txt file so the people much more experienced than me can see what I did wrong... The first thing you'll probably notice is that I included the vast majority of the system stuff. Basically if I didn't know what it was, I left it alone, but that could be a part of the problem...

well did u follow the instructions on how to make the selections file? i know i did it exactly how it says and it works for me.... basically you take all the selections from the 5054 selections under SelectedMainSplashImage=320x320,NexVision_welcomeh ead_96.png and paste them in your new 5059 selections file...

These are the items that are in the 5059 basekit (fix) from no2chem that are not in your selections.txt.

I have no idea if the items I set to bold will make a difference or not, but it can't hurt to add them in and try to cook again.

Better yet, if you want complete confidance that it will work, try this:

I didn't mark OEM Application Base because it's marked as depreciated... but it is in the clean selections so maybe it's a good idea to add it..

I went ahead and added what you put in bold and reflashed... now my phone won't boot completely. It gets to where the Main Splash should load and the screen goes blank. I tried pulling out the battery, putting it back in, and hard resetting; but it didn't help.

I'm going to see if I can re-flash via SD, but since that was what wasn't working...

Edit:
Forget my edit, I found my answer...

Well I reset into bootloader mode with the image in the root of a FAT32 SD card and it didn't flash....

But since it was able to get to the bootloader I just plugged in the USB and ran the RUU with the latest official build of the nueROM. PHEW!!!

Edit: btw, the storage card does work in the official rom, so it is definitly something I did wrong when creating my rom. I'll just start from scratch and try again...

this is the consequence of giving users too much control over the build process. be sure that all packages in the oemapps group are checked.

I had a feeling someone was going to say that... As I stated in the first post, I did try to leave the system stuff alone. I was only interested in tweaking it a bit and adding some apps that I want. You did a great job in creating the basekit and I didn't want to mess with it... much...

I was able to build my own rom and everything works now. I'm not sure exactly what I checked this time but didn't the previous time that made it work, but it was most likely what boggsie mentioned. I think the failure was just a bad flash. For some reason past two times before I got it to work the HTC Home Plug would constantly blink and the start menu would only show today and coldinit (I let it do its thing for a good 15 min.). It seems that coldinit froze?? I tried hard reset and such to no avail. What's really odd is the last time I flashed (the time that I got it working) BuildOS actually failed with an error messages saying it was unable to download the rom... Would any of this be a sign that there is actually something wrong with my phone?

At any rate it's up and running and fully customized. I love this. In fact I love it so much I donated! Thank you!

ah, thanks. when coldinit freezes, that is a sign of a serious system malfunction:

1) one of the required modules are missing
2) one of the required modules are broken
3) provxmls are damaged

if it jacks up, just do like i said before, go back to his 5054 selections, copy all thta stuff, and paste it into your 5059 selections, then go from there... havent made a bad rom from that method yet

that is a great point, buck1623 ... when I first did this, I wanted to ensure that I had understood how to use the kitchen, so I started with the 5054 base, just to make sure that I could get through it, as it was delivered by the kitchen group.

Then, I used the instructions here

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...postcount=3548

to build (what I expected to be a duplicate of) 5059 through the kitchen, using all of the default selections, as identified by no2chem. Once I did that, I was able to confidantly move on to more creative attempts ... assured that if I could get back to Olipro 2.4 (Power+Camera+Reset) then I could reinstall either of the *.nbh files that I had previously created ...
