[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Just released the somehow my CACHE had become ext3? no idea when or how this happened so convered to to ext4 using 4EXT recovery and reformatted.

So I altered the numbers in the above post to reflect changes this made.

I used a different method as I was S-OFF via XTC Clip! [GUIDE] XTC-Clip users guide to new HBOOT 2.00.2002
[HTC Desire S] caravanquello:
Its depends on the rom and the install script.

Proxusers OTA is compatible with the old HBOOT, so it doesnt use the new lib partition.

If you flash the untouched version you have the lib partition.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Yep, you are right. I meant the early proxuser's versions that I was happy to use up to v8 (IMO very good work). But then I gave up on Sense and not regretting a bit. Anyway according to your explanation my logic is right and this 2.00.2002 hboot is only useful for HTC ROMs, although modified by the devs here, but is pointless to use with ROM's that are not supporting it i.e. most of them.

@ben_pyett

I think that the new radio installation is messing with the cache partition, because I had the "cache_log" error after flashing it, also I am reading a lot of feedbacks from users that had to restore/reformat this partition after flashing the radio due to "not enough space" error when installing apps from the Market.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I possibly can agree with that as I also encountered that problem with the market after installing both the latest radio and being on latest HBOOT.

Although market space error was simply resolved by a CACHE wipe, although I'm still unsure what particular process or step put my CACHE to ext3?
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
exactly same thing happened to me too. just formatted back to ext4. byy the way i am now back on old ENG HBOOT and i have got my full 300mb cache partition back:D
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Can you please explain how you did this, because I am also on the old bootloader but my /cache is still halved (150 MB)??

EDIT: when I reboot in the Recovery my /cache is exactly 300 MB, but the "df" command in the Terminal is showing 150 MB?? Is this the same in your case?

EDIT2: I have wiped the cache and now it shows 300 MB in the terminal. Hooray! :)

Just to confirm my assumption that the radio is the reason for this mess. What I did to the current state was:

1) I think I was the first one that flashed it over 2.00.2002 (almost immediately after it was posted, even before the ben_pyett's first question on the OTA radio thread, and I stuck with the famous "cache_log" error. I was scared that my eMMC is gone. So I reflashed RUU with the intention to go to the repair center with the stock hboot, etc.

2) then I saw that my system is fine (oh how happy I was) I used the revolutionary tool

3) then I flashed the old ENG HBOOT 0.98.2000

4) then I flashed the new OTA radio again

5) then I flashed the CM7 Nightly, Tiamat kernel and the GApps

6) after booting the ROM I installed the 4EXT recovery

7) after that I rebooted in the Recovery and had again the "cache_log" error, but I was calm this time and just formatted it as ext4

8) then I have noticed that my /cache is 150 MB???

so only thing that I have made extra than prevously was the new radio. CM has no customized partitioning and for me the only cause of the can be this Radio...
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
interesting!

everything you experienced with the cant mount errors after flashing the new radio happened to me too! i too feared i had fried the emmc chip! I am still on new radio now and everything is fine after reformatting the cache partition.

In answer to your question i believe it MUST be the new radio trying to alter partition of the cache. This would explain why it is giving you the same "cant mount cache" error as it gives when flashing new HBOOT. Something in the installation of the radio package must be trying to split the partition.

Anyway, im happy now! and by the sounds of it u are too, and have pretty much the same base setup as i do:D

OLD ENG HBOOT ALL THE WAY!!:p
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
@ben_pyett

Just an addition to my previous assumption.

I doubt that the Stock ROM natively supports ext4. So if the radio is altering somehow the /cache partition it of course is designed to search and manipulate an ext3 type partition (most probably this is the cause of the error). When you have reformatted, it was restored as it was labeled by the radio script - as an ext3. So the restoration solved your Market problem, you just noticed the ext3 type later.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
this is a very good point! but why is it only changing the cache partition and not the rest?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I think that at this point already some of the devs has to clarify further :)

Edit: now a conversation with Nexx in his CM7 thread comes to me. He said that the new partition (lib) is taking up space from the /cache not from /system (which fact is verified by the results in this thread). So maybe the script is checking for the "properly" mounted partitions and when is not finding the lib.img is trying to remount or to force reformat/rebuild that is causing the corruption. Just a theory of mine but linux is working quite straightforward as far as I know :)
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
i guess this could be true! either way, we are both running new radio now without any issues:D

just a bit annoying having to go through this process before you have it working
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Well done gentlemen! :D

It's good to at least get to the bottom of why the file system ext3->ext4 conversion occurred.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Thank you all for sharing!!!

Now we have enough information to clear my doubts (in this thread as well)

The general conclusion:

6.xx.xxxx and 0.98.xxxx hboot users have the full /cahce size - 300 MB

the users of the new hboot (2.00.2002) have halved /cache - 150 MB

So there is no need to use the new 2.00.2002 hboot with a ROM different than an Official HTC one!!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Extended Lifetime of device?

Although I believe in looking forward. ;)

Whereas in the past LIB would have taken its space from within the actual SYSTEM partition now that it has been allocated its own 150Mb from what previously would have been part of the CACHE partition for itself, this gives us far more space within our SYSTEM partition. :)

Enough to load and then run full Sense 3.5 (as the Runnymede ports shows). :cool: I'm hoping that new ROMs and new custom KERNELS come out that take advantage of this new LIB partition and the additional space that has been created within the SYSTEM partition. :D

The lack of space in CACHE doesn't really matter as we can just wipe CACHE it more often if needed.

So this new re-structuring appears to have possibly extended the lifetime of our devices. :cool: I just want to start taking advantage of it. :D
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
+1

I hope that the dev's here will start thinking about integration of this new partitioning style in the custom ROMs.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
@proxuser or any other Dev

What's the chances of this partition structure being used in the latest customs?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I'm rooted with CWM installed but when I boot into recovery, I don't have any option to backup/restore. It's the light blue recovery menu and I'm booting by holding down the vol buttons while pressing power and then letting go of power when the boot screen logo appears.

[EDIT] Apparently something got hosed with the install of the CWM recovery kernel. Reinstall fixed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Any ideas what I'm missing? Would really like to make a backup in addition to Titanium Backup before I start tweaking, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] heychillout:
Are the clockwork recovery extra options listed on the list? Should have like advanced and backup/restore etc. if you don't have those options fROM the recovery menu then cwm recovery didn't flash correctly.

Fyi works on mine I have cwm, root and a backup from the recovery menu
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Yeah I figured it out like 2 minutes before you posted that. And yeah none of those options were there, it was really odd. Simply figured maybe something didn't happen right with the kernel flash. Appreciate the response :)
[Milestone 2 General] edward5538:
Hi all. I have just flashed my M2 to MIUI 1.9.23 GB 2.3.5 Multilanguage for Milestone 2. But I found some problems to connect to my school's WiFi, which is an enterprise-secured network. I can connect to other WiFi.

I don't know if this problem is due to some wrong steps to flash my phone. Originally I have MS2Ginger-RC2 - Gingerbread 2.3.4 for Milestone 2. Then I downloaded the zip file to my phone and recover using that zip file.
[Milestone 2 General] edward5538:
It seems that no one knows how to fix the wifi problem-,-

Can anyone suggest me the best kernel version?

I have tried some and they all have different bugs. But I have no time to test all those version><

Ok, this will work...depending on which ROM you are on..Odin crawrj's stock ROM with Busybox and root. If on stock Odin Odexed if on a custom ROM use deodexed.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I came back to fix what I said. Odin the full stock ROM version from crawrj if you ran into an issue with Wifi. It doesn't touch your data so if you want to start completely fresh do a factory reset after you Odin full ROM version

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
Just a couple of observations with this kernel.

1. I'm not sure what "tweaks" may have been done to WiMAX, if any. I ran the kernel last evening and streamed Radio.com for number of hours. The phone became extremely hot, to the point it displayed an error message of ceasing battery charge due to excessive heat. With the heat came a rapid battery discharge. Today, with no changes to the phone other than the kernel, I ran the same streaming and had no heat issues at all.

2. Upon switching kernels to a stock, I noticed (as others have posted) the inability to access WiFi. I should clarify I cannot connect to secured WiFi. At my home my router is secured and I get stuck at "obtaining IP address". However, at my place of work, I am able to connect to an unsecured signal.

As I said, the WiMAX heat issue was fixed with a new kernel flash. However, I've yet to be able to repair the WiFi issue even after an Odin flash of stock kernel.

.....
