market: Download unsuccessful

When downloading something from the browser everything I get is a notification message short afterwards saying:

"Download unsuccessful"

I can install stuff using the slideME manager though. And I have space on my sd card. I'm using the 3/3 build.

Is this any good to us? it looks like an unoffical 1.5 sdk?

Any help?

I can't make calls, the rest is working!!!

I'm in brazil, some problem with my operator?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
imfloflo, this doesn't help me with the system.img but I've already got that working fine. Thanks for the link I know I'll find a use for it.

****UPDATE:

First off, when you get into the terminal, type "ash" as it has command history (up and down keys)-- saves a lot of time..

I have a network interface. I can assign it arbitrary IPs but cannot instantiate it.... This is much better than last night when it said "no such device."

Here's where I'm at:

So the device is working but cannot get any further....

Looking through dmesg shows:

Guess who doesn't like the looks of "kernel tainted."

Who here can help me?

Looks like unless there's more people working on wifi, it'll be a little while. I'm looking through the source now for wpa_supplicant and seeing what I can do to get the device loaded into the network config. Not easy for me and time is a luxury. Please let me know who's currently/willing to work on it with me so we can split the workload more efficiently.

can I mail somebody my image file??

I tried a couple of times yesterday evening, but no luck.

I always get a error message.

Update from last night:

Device is working (recognizes router, but no connection possible. android crashed when trying to connect).

I don't know if somebody can tweak my settings more, to get it fully working.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Upload away. Best bet is a free file hosting service (no megaupload or rapidshare please!) like www .toofiles.com just rename the extension so that it's allowed.

Can you tell me what you did to get the router recognized? An image is great but the steps you took are more important.

Thanks

I'm actually getting ready to update to PDACornerv19 so we'll see if that helps any.

I start out fresh every single time I see an updated Android release. I don't leave a single file on the card.

I did notice, though, that when I used \"\" for the ppp.username and password entries (which I recall seeing used in one of the earlier default.txt's) that it messes everything up....in that for some reason it's not seeing past the quote or something. So, I just removed the username and password entries completely (don't need them on tmo usa) and what do you know - screen resolution and the tilt keyboard entry both work just fine now.

However, still can't make calls. :(

I'll be updating the ROM later today and see if that helps things any.

Also, I've noticed that when the screen is blanked out that the buttons still remained lit. Is there any way to have those turn off?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] biscuits1978:
I just did the same thing, and now the resolution thing works. I really thing the backslashes mess up the ability to specify the resolution. However, I am able to make calls fine. I'm using the 1.65.x.x radio with PDACornerUltimate v19 ROM with the 3/1 release.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] anthonws:
Source Kernel Trap:

kernel: ndiswrapper: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.

Perfectly normal. The modules you are inserting are not GPL, thus loading them makes the kernel no longer fully "GPL'd", thus, it is "tainted". You don't have a problem, or at least, that message does not indicate any problem. If you are getting no other messages, then the module has loaded successfully (issue an lsmod command to verify, and/or check /var/log/messages to see what else it has to say).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] grafxxx:
What I done, was more by suprise for me.

I had to reinstall android and it didn't want to accept my radio.

So no calls, etc.

I changed back to an old 1.65.x radio. When I was in the WinMo part, I downloaded some files for winmo via wifi. I forgot to turn it off and bootet android.

Android didn't boot up properly: it showed errors in the boot up

tiwlan: carddetect was set to 0

so I changed that to 1 and booted again with win wifi on.

It could detect the card and I had a signal, but couldn't connect.

I don't know why this happened when I changed the radio.

Anyway I'll upload the file on toofiles as recommended and post the link here.

Any help is appreciated, as I'm not so much into the dev part.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] markya23:
I think that was the error I saw so you now are where I got to. I've recompiled the wpa_supplicant, the kernel module and the wlan_loader from the cupcake source with full debug and I got some interesting messages about the driver timing out after the post firmware upload reset. I've not had a chance to investigate it and I'm travelling on work until the end of the week so I wont get to look at it until at least the weekend and possibly next week. :(

I'll try and upload a log file at some point though. Someone might be able to shed some light on it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I had initially tried starting wifi in winmo then booting android but hadn't done the method we (markya23 posted) tried afterwards. I'll give that a go when I'm free. At least the tainted kernel issue is okay. Since biscuits1978 mentioned resolution settings, I noticed that the phone can support a lot of resolutions. For kicks I set 640x480 and while things got all crashy on screen changes, it could actually handle it. Maybe there's something there for the future?

The source is quite a plethora of stuff to go over. There's a G1 wifi driver and wpa_supplicant. I wonder if swapping Tilt's driver (possibly renaming it too) will fool it into compiling when we 'make' the images. Or better would be to change the references to match the actual Tilt driver (not fooling it). Good thing this stuff takes a while..

Longtime lurker here. Just wanted to say thanks to all the devs and helpers to get this up and running. Have an ATT Tilt here and have internet, data, sync, calls in and out, app store all working. The data is slow, no 3g in maine-don't think 3g works yet though, does it?

Couple things I've noticed:

-After a few minutes the data connection shuts off and you must rerun togga to connect. Is this common?

-The touchscreen seems to be a little iffy- sometimes it works when I select an app and sometimes it takes multiple touches.

- The apps are really amazing. The touchscreen keyboard, in chomp sms and steel, is soooo nifty compared to the WM 6.1 offerings.

Other then that AMAZING work guys. I'm not really a programmer but just a nerd so I don't know if I can be of much help. Lets get wifi going now.

yeah guys I hope the wifi will work in the next build release because I want to try out the browser and maps.:cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] AciDCooL:
Hope u wont be using maps for on the road.. wifi hopping all day.. think we all have better things todo while driving :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] wornbat:
I think that the issue with the internet in the latest rom (1-3-09) is to do with the /"/"

It no longer takes /" it shows the ppp.username as / in the bootup sequence and does not say waiting for PPP as it did in the previous rom (2-27-09)

This effects the screen resolution as shown above and it effects the internet from working when you have APN's with no username/password.

Also notice that the Android ICON does not show correctly Shows correct then robot moves down showing 1.5 robots.

3G icon shows ok Toga connects ok and shows IP address etc but no connection to anything on the internet. (Previously did not need to use TOGA)

someone who know ril code and such: what does "my location" need to operate?

+creg? will get you the LAC and CI - given the fact that it keeps moving around for me (stuck between two towers, both at high reception here :P ), these seem accurate too.

returns "+CREG, <n>, <stat>, <lac>, <ci>"

where n is whether is should have unsollicited responses of creg (seems to default to 2 for me... unsollicited with location), stat is registration status (gives 1 for me - home network), lac is (in quotes) the hexadecimal value of the LAC, and same with CI (cellid)...

shouldn't be too hard to feed that to android, right?

also, anyone know if vogue's GPS works?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I can't help you with ril code but I'll pretend that you're talking about how I can get saurik's patched update to install on my Android. I think the Vogue is being developed more/better/oftener since the real devs are using it so any feature on Tilt/Kaiser I would assume already is going for Vogue. We're kind of on the trickle down side of things from what I gather. My forte is not this but I'm trying.

Does anybody know how to apply saurik's update? If I had a G1 then I could just put the update.zip in the sdcard root but I'm trying to be all fancy with this 'not supposed to run on Tilt' action..

It's got ext2 support and something or other that the rum made me forget but that's what I need to get a working wifi image going. He's done a bunch of stuff (properly I should mention) that will make this all easier. Plus, poly_poly-man you have a link to Dream's radio and I'm wondering if that will also make wifi and camera easier when coupled with this update. I emailed him like he doesn't have better things to do; I know he's busy so does anyone have a clue?

I'm talking about:

http://www.telesphoreo.org/pipermail/g1-hackers/2008-November/000032.html

and I think I just take the system/ folder and cramfs it into an image but I don't want to risk a brick because I overlooked something.... which brings me to my next point-- there's no brick risk in testing these images is there?

<rant>

My thoughts are, since I'm more of a formal Debian person, is to get wifi working in a lightweight Debian install that's binded to Android thus providing not only wifi, camera and gps but native Linux apps. I hate to say it but honestly that's the main reason I'm persuing Android in the first place-- I'm not feeling the apps out there in the tightly controlled Market especially since this was touted as an opensource thing... Making a zip (I'm kidding, l33t h4xrs use bz2) of my SD card with it all ready to go will be easy and who doesn't want to actually run Amarok 2.0 on their phone while playing with airsnort

WOW

ok, all I can say is WOW! This is heading towards an incredible phone experience! After (finally) putting things in the right place and managing to get the default.txt file properly setup - it just worked! :) In playing around the interface the touch screen is quite responsive and things are so smoooth! I put a bunch of apps in and they are incredible for the sizes!! I'm a long time linux nut and this is just sooo awesome!!! kudos to the gurus that are pulling this off!!! Now I'll mess around and try to get my data connection working properly and fiddle with a bunch of other stuff.... wifi would be nice too but I'm just impressed with this entire package! Heck, if I could get a shell and syslinux my SD card I'd be one happy camper :) any chance of putting a grub loader on to get the editing of boot up options and custom images, etc?? LOL!

Fantastic work from some real geniuses!! Worked the first time with Athine OS (21139) NAKED with the full M2D suite installed on my Tilt. As with every other system of mine, as soon as there is a viable linux alternative, it's on!! I can see a linux SPL in the future and WM can go back to the usual bloatware pile with the AOL CDs! Knowing the competence levels that are out there, I'm sure someone will come up with a WINE like component to run WM apps under Android.... seeing the apps so far though - who needs it!! LOL :D

Different root FS

Actually I've played with Android a bit for now, and I changed to ext3. It doesn't only work - it's much faster, too! Startup time during the blinking android is about half of what it was before.

How-To:

cd /tmp
# prepare dirs
mkdir a-sys
mkdir a-ext
# prepare image
dd if=/dev/zero of=/where/is/sdcard/system.img.new bs=1M count=64
mkfs.ext3 /where/is/sdcard/system.img.new
# mount old image and copy to new
mount -o loop /where/is/the/system.img a-sys
mount -o loop /where/is/sdcard/system.img.new a-ext
cp -a a-sys/* a-ext/

Now you can unmount the old image and happily edit in the new image. Don't forget to rename the system.img.new to system.img (after you have unmounted it).

In your initrd, in file init, where it says

losetup /dev/block/loop1 /sdcard/system.img
...
mount -t cramfs -o ro,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/loop1 /system

change "-t cramfs" to "-t ext2" or "-t ext3". You can also change the path (/sdcard/system.img) there.

Hope you'll like it. Actually, JFS should be even better, because it has the lowest CPU usage of all journalling FS. Haven't tried yet and don't know if the Kernel I'm using has JFS support.

After all, the image uses 64M instead of 32M cramfs, but hey - we're not in 640K times anymore!

OK, i have a problem. Ive been searching all night. and still can't find out what im doing wrong.

Basically, i downloaded the Android 1.1-01-03-09 for my HTC kaiser. I put everything in the right folders, such as the initrd.gz, haret.exe, default.txt, and zImage in the Android folder in the root of my sd card and the other files, system.img, and data.gz are in the root folder of my sd card.

When i go to hit Haret, its boots into linux and thats when it gets weird. It shows all this writing and then it just stops. In the writing it basically says, Failed to extract Data Image.. Maybe its in my default.txt.......

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
seidler2547, ext3 may be faster and it's what I use on my desktop but I have not heard anything good about it for SD cards mainly due to it's heavy journaling. You might get 100,000 writes to your card and if you are using ext3 you're going to tax it pretty quick. You didn't specify 'noatime' so I don't know if that defaults but I'd at least add that.

About wifi, when I got tiwlan0 configured and assigned it an address as had been discussed, I went to Android's wifi setup and clicked 'turn on wifi' and got the viscious 'turning off, unable to stop wifi, etc.' loop. While looking at dmesg, I saw that the flags were being set to 0 for (paraphrasing) device_detected, wireless_configured, etc. So Android's wifi configuration routines are undermining us. I hope that's not the cause of it not working with TI's driver.

markya23, the steps you posted to get the tiwlan0 up, I put them in a sh script and chmod 755'd it and when I './testwifi.sh' or 'sh testwifi.sh' it doesn't do anything. Same problem I had with the bootdeb script.. works fine when manually typing it out. You know why? The other problem being that the interface is completely removed once terminal is closed.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] seidler2547:
Yeah, you're right, noatime is certainly a good option to throw in. If you don't like journalling, mount ext2. Anyway, I've never ever had any broken flash unit (USB stick, memory card, etc.), and I've been running my linux computer off USB-stick-RAIDs for quite some time now. I think there's a lot of hype going on there. You can still copy the system.img to a new location from time to time.

I agree it is a totally different thing if you're using internal storage because you cannot (easily) replace it. For SD cards I wouldn't worry at all - modern cards have wear levelling built-in anyway, I've read somewhere that it could take several hundred years to really wear one sector out. And aren't we upgrading to the next biggest thing soon anyway ;) ?

So I see my previous post about saurik's update has been overlooked...

http://www.telesphoreo.org/pipermail/g1-hackers/2008-November/000032.html

I went ahead anyways and copied these files from his over to mine (3-1-9):

wpa_supplicant

Fw1251r1c.bin

tiwlan.ini

wpa_supplicant.conf

put it on an ext3 partition per seidler2547's post but made it 96Mb system.img and no booty. The original system.img after unmounting does boot so all I can think of is the file size. Maybe keeping the image dynamically sized will work

mount: mounting /dev/block/loop1 on /system failed: Invalid argument
Failed
Failed to mount /system
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

All I did was overwrite the wifi part.. I didn't even bother looking at the stuff for Debian support.
