i used other sdcard 4gb and copy all data of main sdcard(4gb too) to this sdcard , and result is ....... not boot

So maybe problem not lie on sdcard that is software (rom or kernel ,i don't know)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
It's definitely sdcard. I think something in mbr section of sdcard or partition table i don't know

Gesendet von meinem Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 mit Tapatalk
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Brickpsp:
thank to Elibl about MBR

I think i found a way to temporarily solve the problem boot with sdcard

first backup your sdcard data after that download my file , and extract

1) open iBored

2) choose your sdcard (often is physicaldrive1)

Noted : physicaldrive0 often is hard drive , don't mistake

3) Disk -> view structure (or ctrl + d)

4) choose FAT: Cluster Area , under disk1

5) Disk -> Write File to Blocks...

6) Choose BootwSD.dat (together with ibored)

7) program show a windows, choose yes (don't fix anything) ,and yes

i tested on my other sdcard and work

P/S : Reuploaded
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
I get a runtime error? Using Win7 32.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Brickpsp:
sorry i forget upload library of ibored , wait a minute, i will reupload

PS: done
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Did us suggested

Formated SD card using minitool partition wizard as FAT32, Primary partition

Ran iBored (note have to run as administrator if not obvious, or else don't get list of drives).

Did not work.

Hangs at isCheckpointed 0

(using generic Sandisk 4GB class 2 microSD card)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Brickpsp:
you can test by this program to compare with my

Run Hdhacker ,in logical drive choose your sdcard , choose " read sector"

compare with my result
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] scuarapopas:
After choose YES and YES, how long have to wait? There are two option REVERT and SAVE but both buttons are not active; what to do after?

:confused:

The way I make SD card boot.

Post it fr a fifth time or something:

Take Acronis Disk Director.

Choose SD card.make two partitions

1.Fat32

2.Ext3

It reboots into linux, formats your card, android on boot mouts ex3.

And we get this:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Ok, I must be doing something wrong because my result is different.

So, rechecking what to do, I chose

WRITE file to blocks

chose BOOTsSD.dat

then I get a message about Specify Block Range

you're saying just press OK

Then I get a message "Enable Writing?"

Press OK again

I then see the new changes (it has EMSDOS5.0 somewhere up the top)

Then just close and place in my Xperia?

Edit: WOW, ok its working. I'm not sure what I did exactly because I did check a few times with HDHacker and the data was still different. Then I did it again, and it seemed to be the same, but then Windows didn't recognise the card and prompted my to format it, which I did. I then ran HDHacker again to confirm that it was still the same (which it was after formating). I put in my Xperia and it works!

The only thing I did notice was When using iBored the first time to write the BootwSD.dat file, it seemed to ask about writing 4096kb block. The time that it did work but when my card wasn't recognised it Windows, it asked to write 512kb block. I'm wondering if that had something more to do with it. Will post back my findings. I can read and write to the SD card in Android!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Brickpsp:
in Fat32 writing block is 4096kb , seem MBR will not change when format same kind (ex Fat32,Ntfs) ,i try format several time but it not change

Have you try with other card?

it very fast (less 1s)

i remember after Yes and Yes is done not have REVERT and SAVE ,maybe i mistake you can snapshot for me?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Boot with SD card now working!

FOLLOWING MY ABOVE POST - HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT ALL WORK EASILY!

At the moment, it will wipe your SD card, so back it up first!

Download Minitool partiton wizard Home (you probably all have this from the pre-NAND rom days - http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html )

1] Delete all the partitions on you SD card (not your HD drive!!)

2] Create new partition: Create As: Primary, File System FAT32, "Cluster Size 512 Bytes"

(This seems to be the most important factor, the Windows default seems to be 4kb, this could be the cause)

3] chose "Set Active" (right click on the partition, scroll the MODIFY then chose "SET ACTIVE" (not sure if this is important or not)

4] Chose APPLY at the top.

5] Check it boots (seemed to Hot boot/crash the first boot, but works fine after)

6] if all good, copy any data back, place in xperia and enjoy.

Works for me when it didn't work before.

I'm sure there's something to be gained from this. Report back if it works
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] skas_2002:
I have three cards. Tried it at least on four. 1-4 gb

The cards become unusable under xp, but the phone sees them fine. If we mount the card from CWM it sees it fine, phone under WINmobile sees it fine.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
And for post 300 on this forum, I can confirm that using my method above worked with another card :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Brickpsp:
maybe xp see ext before fat32, are you try format all is fat32 ?

i will try your new method :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Brickpsp:
@wallaceff : your solution seem alright :)

why you not use format tool default of windows ,it is have option cluster 512b ,too
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Yes, you probably can. Just not sure about 1) setting active partition 2) making sure that all the other partitions were/are clean.

I'm not sure about any performance loss at 512kb cluster.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] scuarapopas:
Yes ! Working very good !! Thank you. I will repair the back cover of my X1

Great :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
YEAH great job guys!!!!!!! it's at least also working for me :D

EDIT: ok noooo boot works but with this way formatted and inserted sdcard android is just unresponsible and reboots again and again :(

did you do something special to avoid the crashes? system hangs up at preparing sdcard...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] SPyxOff:
It will need to make more reaserch to do clear and smooth boot with SD inserted, however.. no new build today?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
so if we are speaking about SD Problem, I will show you the settings of my SD card which booted (only FAT32) and was acessable in Android

here are the settings in MiniTool

maybe that helps
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
A cluster size of 512 is too small, so it's a bit dangerous. We will have more defrag and can corrupt the SD.

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
I think if we could make the MBR 512 somehow, but somehow format the rest of the drive to 4kb, it might work, but not quite sure how to do that!

Also, if I take the card out and plug it into the usb on my drive, then copy data and then place it back into my xperia, it bootloops. Not sure why.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
When you load Android, can you tell me what it says after the "mmcblk0:" bit?

So far, the only difference I noticed between your disk image info and mine is your partion ID is 0xC and mine was 0xb. Also, your first sector starts at 2048, mine starts at 63.

I tried changing my partition ID in Minitool, didn't seem to help.

Which program did you use to MAKE your partition/format your card in the first place?

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

*** Ok.... further new update ***

Note: this method WILL ERASE YOUR CARD

This method works... BUT, Line 3 is in ERROR!!! It should be

4) double click *MBR Partition Table: Partition 1*, under disk1 (not FAT as listed above). It should say Block size 512 in the column next to it.

You should see a screen that has txt on it that looks like it says something like MSWIN4.1 in the first line (may be different, not sure, but shouldn't be all blank anyway)

then

5) Disk -> Write File to Blocks...

6) Choose BootwSD.dat (together with ibored)

7) When prompted for Specify Block Range chose OK

8) When prompted for "Enable Writing?" chose OK again.

Take card out and use as normal. Card will then need to be formatted in Windows (can use default 4096kb cluster size)

When I did it that way with a card formated to 4kb clusters, and over-wrote the MBR, all works so far
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] scuarapopas:
I think you should try again, follow exactly the procedure, first , clean all partitions, erase with "0", and then make the FAT32 partiion with 512K cluster and set active, then make others 3 partitions EXT3 primary ,(system 150MB)(data 250Mb) (cache 100 MB), using Minitool. The only thing I did, prior insert the SD in the X1 was to copy all my backup datas on the SD FAT.

I use Transcend MicroSD 4GB.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
I tried it with iBored but still not work... (wallaceff's	and Brickpsp's method with both boot doesn't work) i either get stuck in boot or get bootloops. Maybe i'm doing something wrong. Will try it again later but currently have no time...

@scuarapopas: what do you want with system/data/cache partition?

3G and calls works good.

Battery life is also good to use.

First stage when Android installed, couple of time will be slow but it's getting fast.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] go_insane1981:
How long does the battery life last? I can use it, with wifi and other apps on, for 12 to 14 hours, without it takes about 20 hours, think battery could do better imo, i went back to arcdroid for now, using wm when i am out of the house.

Nice build anyways.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] scuarapopas:
Thanks Jerry, we very apreciate your efforts and your job.

The SD card on boot, is almost solved, the main problem to solve,is the random reboot, after a missed call or similar.

Battery life

I don't know why, but with this build my battery last for about 2 hours of using. 1 hour charging. And with screen off and all wireless connections off it last for about 20hours. Thats pretty bad, what can I do?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Notice: Development Abandoned

Honestly this build performance had already enhanced almost 110% from stock CM 7.1 before, you will get what I mean if you tested NAND when the first day it released by sp3dev.. and nothing else I could make improvement for this build, almost give up on this project.. tried many ways to solve all the existing problems in this build but with no success all the time..

The worst news is zargloub (our only kernel developer ) decided to stop his kernel project, and that means WiFi, battery and camera problem will never been solved unless someone continue his project.. and you should know that we actually have no more developer for this phone, everyone already have their new phone and develop for the new one

My dream when first day started this project is to make a good build that suitable for daily use.. but unfortunately with the discontinued of kernel development I will stuck with all the limited functionality today... I don't know anything else I could do for my build except for abandon this project until the day when someone continue X1 NAND kernel development, you can put this hope on Neopeek and Midnight as they are definitely more experienced than me, but you gotta wait patiently for their updates as everyone have their own daily works in real life..

I will continue my support for this build but there will be no more updates for now until I found new solution for all the problems / bugs in this build.. so if you want a better ROM performance, stability and doesn't care about losing camera functionality then you should continue using CWM build ( SD Card ROM ) like SenseDroid, ArcDroid or TwizDroid

That's all, sincerely from jerrytan93
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] SPyxOff:
This was tha worst thing I read this year.

Oh I was happy to see completly done Android on my X1i. Sad sad day..

This android is just absolutely amazing because of Google play which it's working 100% properly.. but Camera and Battery life is the main thing u need to have good for a daily use.

There is no other way how to make this things ok? Try other kernel or send a message to zargloub to complete this stuff for us..?

I just.. can't downgrade back to Windows aah please just NO!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
Maybe someone to hope for is fergy who posted in ics 4.0.3 thread. He uses an own kernel and develops it maybe you could contact him jerry. I don't know exactly what's working and what's not and sadly he only wants to share it as soon as he fixed all bugs. I hope this will happen some day...

Battery

I got a question about battery. If somebody could answer it, I will be glad.

If zargloubs destroys his battery, is there any chance to destroy my battery by using his kernel? If yes, then I will immediately change back to windows because I just don't have enough money to buy this stuff for my phone like battery.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
thought about that too, but I think he played around with all the settings for battery and hast just published these which don't affect the battery. I think that causes the problem for him.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
I actually bought my replacement battery for this phone (before I sold it) when developing CWM ROM due to quick discharge and recharge proccess.. (I charge it almost 5 times per DAY) and my battery die just for develop propose

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
The best kernel for a proper battery performance is the Turbo kernel for SD Roms.

With "Twizdroid (ext2) + Turbo Kernel" or "Zeamdroid (ext2) + Turbo Kernel" you can have a daily use rom. This both roms are really good and with better feature than Icedroid, everything work except the camera.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
Yes that would be for SD Builds, but this is a NAND ROM which replaces Windows Mobile
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] SPyxOff:
Ok so you are telling me that everything is ok for us "users"? And no battery destroying will happen if I'm not developing?

// I just don't want to kill my battery just for using this ROM, I'd rather convert back to WM if so.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] taninos:
Yes, but now which is the most completed kernel "zargloub or turbo one"?

From my point of view Turbo Kernel works properly and let us have better roms.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
the turbo kernel is for SD builds only and the zargloub (based of sp3dev) is for NAND ROMs there is no alternative to zargloubs
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] alireza2010:
please release new version......
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
he would release new version, but he cannot do anything because everything he can fix is fixed and all the other problems are kernel related.

And zargloub the active kernel developer has stopped working because he has new device and his X1s battery is dead.

We can hope for fergy he has created his own kernel for X1 which nearly everything working but he will release it when it is completly working (need to fix bluetooth, camera) you can read here

So we have to hope that fergy will fix everything or he will release it earlier or make it open-source (public) so some other devs can help him like midnight and other guys which worked with sp3dev.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

hm... that what I was saying was just thinking. But now I will ask that too because I think it could destroy battery. But that is just a thought. I have the phone nearly for 4 years and so it could be normal that the batterie last even less.

I charged the Phone about 2 Times a day because of android before with WinMo I didn't get one day (the time I am awake) about 1hour before I go to sleep it turns off. And I charged it over night. Now when I meet friends I take my charger with me :D Maybe it is because of that, that I charge the phone nearly allways now because the screen goes blank and then it restarts and say that battery is empty.

Thought that is Android related but I flashed WinMo yesterday and that happens here also. Then I thought I let the phone turned off and charge it over night, so the battery is charged completely. Then I flashed Android again and booted up and then I removed the USB Cable and a short time later the phone turns off because of empty battery..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] skas_2002:
Basically li-polymer batteries have a set number of charge discharge cycles they can handle.

The more often you charge the battery, the faster it dies. But if you use your x1 to the full in WinMo it lasts basically the same.

And the charging routine in android is correct(tested - i am a phone repairs engineer after all). So no need to panic.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Elibl:
I finally got some time to play around and make my sdcard also bootable this is the way i made it:

(I hope this is finally the way that works for everyone with every card)

caution: backup your sdcard or you will lose content

1) open iBored as Admin

4) choose disk1

8) sdcard needs now to be formatted normally

it worked for me every time immediately

it's somehow logic as it then writes the file to the very beginning of the sdcard which is the section which is also checked by HDHacker

again iBored as attachment

huge thanks to BrickPSP

Summary

1. WiFi: fast, but not perfect! Can not connect if there is WEP encryption, and each time you restart the phone generates a new MAC Address.

2 When I receive a call and I do not answer the phone restarts. But if I'm listening to music, turn down the volume to zero applications simultaneously and does not sound music to the phone's ringer.

3, the camera has a very low quality (very blurry)

4 hd videos on youtube not yet compatible

5 il3d for video games is not yet supported

6 Battery ... I understand that after 3 years of heavy use are likely to have to replace it and take a new ... but Android is very demanding of energy!

7 Xperia X1 is one of the phones with more buttons on a telephone ... How can I change them?? Program them differently and / or add programs or functions to be my favorite ...

However it is the best release I've ever tried! I sincerely hope that these little problems will be solved soon ... is the first time that a mobile me longer than 3 years! XD XD

I do not think I ever use the bootable versions of SDCard because after less than a week I format the SD and why this is very fast and stable.

Thanks for your work, although not perfect, you helped me rejuvenated my old and faithful Xperia!!

I hope to soon see a new version to try and download XD

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] SPyxOff:
Yes, zargloubs got new battery so he can continue developing the kernel we need for android. And Buttons can be changed in settings somewhere and look for application named Spare parts and even in Preferences for the Launcher there you can change buttons.

CAMERA FOCUS IS NOT WORKING!

Battery, you can download battery calibration app wich can give you pretty much 600%+ battery life.

HQ in YOUTUBE IS NOT WORKING and do not kill application named Newding.. it will restart your phone when u missed the call
