for all: he dont know why his hd dont boot android

so for all german people a boot docu for android on a blackstone in german:

also du solltest folgende ordnerstruktur haben: speicherkarte/tmp

dadrin sind 3 dateien: cache.ext2.img, data.ext2.img und system.ext2.img dann noch einen ordner boot mit der zImage.bin, haret.exe, root.cpio.gz und der default.txt.

wie schon gesagt alle dateien aus dem cyber zip archiv nehmen

so nun einfach haret starten und dann run drücken

nun sollte der fortschrittsbalken kommen dann fängt linux an zu booten

sollte dann oben die tastatur sein is es schonmal gut, denn wenn nich kannste gleich dein hd neustarten (hinten roter kleiner punkt) dann alles nochmal

so so sollte nun die tastatur da sein(wenn nicht nochmal neustarten) dann bei Stub! stub! etc. schnell auf den screen tippen dann links oben den roten punkt mit stylus antippen und dann das gleiche unten rechts aber sei schnell! so nun kommt A N D R O I D und kurz warten dann siehste schon den androiden der so leuchtet :) und dann kannste es auch gleich benutzen viel spaß

und wie gesagt sollte es nicht gehen neustarten! achso noch nen tipp: falls du nicht immer den screen neu kalibrieren musst kannst du einfacg ihm schon vorher die koordinaten geben schau dazu in den dev thread! und noch was schlate in winmo die pinabfrage beim starten aus, weil android dich sonst nach dem pin fragt und der dann nach dem eingeben nicht richtig angenommen wird und somit falsch is ;)

bei weiteren fragen frag ruhig :) und sollte es nicht gehen mach nen screenshot oder berichte was genau passiert!

edit: plz ask in english so all the other can understand us or write me a pm ;)

thx ive done things things but its dont worked for me the prob u can se if u go to the page "87" there are a LITTLE pic :-)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shambler:
Could it be an issue with the sd driver ? Cause i tryed the build on my se x1 and i am getting the exact same errors, but i guess that the x1 has a different sd slot.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
yay i managed to boot android too with the package orux posted for xmoo! :D

but the screen goes out of alignment after some use :< btw good work till now!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryoojin83:
@mücke007

Just a heads up.

It should be msmvkeyb_toggle=off, not msvkeyb_toggle=off

It was a typo by the original poster

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] body85:
nothing to my Problem? android is searching a folder... /system/bin/

he cannot find it..... ahhhh
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:
That probably the off-ram?

IT cannot mount the images to run android.

sd drivers issue??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bl1nky:
hi, i have no problem with sd card. phone finds 16gb card and info on space, used/left, is there. i am able to search and play music from card without sound. i keep getting a message " the application messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly please try again." also after a while the display renders itself halfway across the screen
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] body85:
its the original 8GB card from Transcend.... the on-ram runs... without sd card *smile*
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] orux:
It seems that linux does not like transcend, or viceversa, transcend does not like linux.

Is there anyone with stock transcend sd working?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:
I've tested it with 8GB + 16GB of Sandisk. They all booted.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
android is booting correctly also for me with stock 8gb SDHC

EDIT: to clarify, in italy stock SD is a Sandisk 8gb sdhc class 2
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Glideh:
This can depend on the card's file system, isn't it ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] orux:
Yes, but this kernel has not built-in ntfs support. You need to use fat filesystem if you want to use a windows fs (sure fat32).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] body85:
i think my sd is in NTFS.... coul this be the problem??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] orux:
It must be fat32. I think ntfs is not supported by winmo?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Glideh:
But you shouldn't have been able to copy the files neither
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] body85:
ány one who worked with the transcendent card???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Glideh:
Indeed body85, this seems quite transcendent :)

as until now, nobody here have been able to go

through with Transcend card.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] body85:
damned!.......
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryoojin83:
Transcend

Hrm, has anyone taken the Transcend card out of the phone and plugged it into a linux machine to check formatting/re-format?

I ask because this may have a partition similar to what SanDisk does with their flash drives, the U3 program on a small partition that hides itself in windows. The Transcend card may have something similar for the phone. Obviously not U3, but a hidden partition that won't let firmware read the SD card on boot.

I would test this but I am at work without linux or a card reader.

Or maybe I am crazy....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] daniel.hunt:
Here's a stupid question, but how do you know what type of card you have?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cardefbel:
I changed the commandline in my default.txt and booted with my original SD-card:

set cmdline "root=/dev/mmc1 init=/init console=tty0 mem=64M msmsdcc_id=2 msmts_calib=0x37b.0x3ca.0x72.0x72 msmvkeyb_toggle=off"

Its the /dev/mmc1 that did the trick. I suppose it has something todo with the partitiontable on my sd-card
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryoojin83:
@cardefbel

Glad to hear it was just a partition problem ;)

@daniel.hunt

Just look at the card and its printed on the card. its the manufacturer, i.e., Transcend, A-Data, ....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] schreda:
on my device it won't start!!!

it hangs up on the booting linux... window! the progress bar goes to 100% and then it hangs up!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] body85:
same problem...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryoojin83:
I tried the /dev/mmc1 change and it started boot android, but failed. The GUI/Splash never load.. I just get

""""

ANDROID [#] init: cannot find '/system/bin/sh', disabling 'console'

""""

it also disables servicemanager, moutd, debugger, ril-daemon, zygote, media, dbus, installd. I am just too lazy to type those all out again.

basically it freezes there
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryoojin83:
I am just playing around with it now...

its trying to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 not /dev/mmc1 (or /dev/mmc0)

is it supposed to do this?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jdavidgea:
I'm not sure about asking this here... but... do you think that HTC Magic launch will help to improve android in our blackstones?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] furrypotato:
Thanks for the info.

So what part of the G1 kernel are we using. Having been looking at the wiki guide to building a kerne;, it seem that the base kernel is downloaded from linuxtogo.

Then I assume that G1 specific parts are added to it. Could you point me to the part in the wiki kernel building guide that does that. Is it the htc-msm.android part ?

And is that effectivly adding in all the 'drivers' etc ?

I'm just trying to learn more about whats going on - it seems that even over in the diamond section they have not gotten very far in the last month or so with getting more functionality.

Cheers

POSTED BY PATP in other thread:

Is there already a compiled version available with button support? I would love to give it a try!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Glideh:
Actually, if it really is a U3 formatted, this means that there are 2 partitions.

A read-only ISO 9660 and a standard FAT formatted.

By default, Linux will try to boot on the first one
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] 1337_V1k1n6:
You guys are the best

I have tried the latest posted files, and now got a running android with working hardware buttons and working sms. cool :D :D

Thanks soooo much for the time you spend on this project!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Thee link in the Wiki keeps breaking in the middle of DL tried 6 times and no luck. Please post a mirror if you can.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stefh:
buttons now work!

I can also send and receive SMS on Dutch T-Mobile network!

Also screen glitches seem to be gone!

I still find some visual things not smooth though. Is this because of the higher resolution compared to G1 or is it because there is not enough hardware acceleration yet?

Volume rocker is used as UP/DOWN!

I can also make calls, but without sound! Cannot receive calls.

Somehow I don't find the screen calibration that precise, as it is calibrated a little to high for my taste. e.g. select the network info in the upperbar. when you touch a little lower, it does not respond.

Time is right now. Before it looked like it was 10 minutes early.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] oNNoZeLe:
that latest version breaks on:

/init: line 4: mkdir: not found

/init: line 5: mount: not found

mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /mmc failed: No such device or address

and then ofcourse the rest fails because it cannot find alot files..

BTW i have a transcend SD.

Hi'ave download the Pichurri's files on the tmp folder in my sd card this is result's (on attach) any information is good for my linux esperience on hd try :)

Thank all
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Glideh:
I have the same problem, seems like linked to the Transcend issue.

This is trying to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /mmc and fails, maybe

we can try to use another partition like mmcblk0p2 or mmcblk0p3

but I don't know where we can change that.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] schreda:
okay i tried it for several times now but no success...

i can start it from the device storage (not sd card)

but it ever hangs at mmcblk0: p1
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scottyuk:

cant boot past mmcblk0

1 cant boot past mmcblk0, tried several ways and versions, tried new files on dev thread and cyber. Both do the same. I must be doing something wrong. You simply copy all the files extract (in TMP folder) to the route of the phone or SD card and run haret?, I have had previous versions boot though so I am wondering if this is an issue with my ROM?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] CyberSalsero:
Try to copy all files in the root of your SD. Rename the directory in tmp(low case).

Good luck

Another test:

Copy all file directly in your memory card with an SD reader or with cable enabling DISK UNIT option when asked you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stoolzo:

thanks that worked
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] quale:
I can call!!!!!!!!!!!.

but i can´t hear anything, I mean, i call home, home phone rings but i can´t hear nothing in my blackstone.

edit: SMS sended!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!! Android rules!!!!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Morden:
Android boots successfully (on second attempt, first time it hanged on mmcblk0 line).

Status:

- Interface smooth, even after a lot of tinkering

- Network: Android doesn't seem to find my network, or any network

- Calling doesn't work (wonder why, seems to work for other people)

- SMS: managed to send myself one (and receive it), weird considering there's no network detected

- OSK keyboard works well.

- Up\Down volume rocker works - but after first press, it's like something keeps sending the keypress. For instance, if I press volume up, it'll go up the menu once, pause, and then continually go up the menu without any further press.

- No WiFi

- SD Card detected correctly

- No sound at all.

- No camera functionality.

Beautiful! Really coming along nicely.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
yay working perfectly also for me ! :D

as usual the first time it hangs on mmcblk0: p1 but after a softreset it works perfectly, and i'm using the stock sandisk 8gb sdhc class2.

Android responds really fast on commands now, no hangs till now and i'm playing around.

I also got radio signal, the clock works and it updates the time automatically.

another find, setting the locale to my language (italian) doesn't crash the settings app!

ROFL you can send and receive SMS now !!! (also calls work, but no sound)

now we need to find a battery driver since the actual power drainage is insane, 20% battery in 15min, and yes a speaker driver eheh :P

really good job guys :D

Mine will not boot of the SD card unless i reboot clean first then it boots first go.

All works fine send and receive SMS and calling out works just no mic or sound. with an audio driver this could be usable for longterm testing.

Im off now to grab the new enviroment and attempt to see.... Can anyone confirm the areas to bee looking at are the arch/arm then the files under here? and is most of the issue just referencing the hardware on the right reference? im new to this style of programing.

i am normally just a reader, not a writer, but today i was really impressed. I also was able to send AND recieve SMS on the android. looking at photos. Would be a good thing to define one of the softkeys as the mystical "Menu" key, so we can access further options.

Keep up the good work!

any updates for the Transendent card?? Anyone who worked Linus on the Transendent card?

or a newer ON-RAM version?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xmoo:
On-Ram version is no use.

If you want a fully functionaling Android it has to be off-ram.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dusty_nz:
No boot

At about 21 seconds I get

mmc1: command timeout

I have edited the default.txt to assign it the imgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0p2

this results in it booting a lot futher. Otherwise it fails at the mount point of mmc

The only error I can see is

microp-klt: probe of 0-0066 failed with error -524

Any assistance?

Note. I am not doing screen calibration and not seeing on screen keyboard as with previous versions.

Update.

For some reason after editing the default.txt file it still fails or hangs at the mount point and it is not picking up the device name. It is not getting any further, just taking way longer to boot.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:
What I find interesting is how some people here refer to the

included

Transcend card...I got a Sandisk MicroSDHC 8gb Class 2 card included in the box w/ my brand new HTC Touch HD. I have even heard some ppl say they got a class 6 included but...I'm not sure if there is such as thing as an 8gb class 6 atm?

Idk don't wanna get off topic but...just thought that was really strange.

Great to see another dev jumping in over on the dev thread! :)

This progress is AWESOME!! Can't believe it has come so far so fast, can't wait for full functionality!

Just curious...what are you guys expecting for full 100% functionality (good / smooth animations throughout, all drivers such as gps, wifi, android market and google sync functionalities...etc)?

I'm putting it at 5 - 6 months.

Thanks again everyone!

Jim.

hi, for those that have issues with memory card, try these instructions.

54. Improve Speed Access of Micro SD Card

Most Micro SD cards come already formatted as FAT 32 using 32kb clusters. To speed up your Micro SD access, reformat your Micro SD card to use 64kb clusters instead of 32kb clusters (FAT 32 remains the same). Warning: formatting will permanently erase all data on your Micro SD card so be sure to copy all data on it to your PC and the copy them back again after the format. You can use SoftWinter's StorageTools app to reformat the card.

a thread by tboy (sorry i dont know how to link) "blackstone hints and tips" in the blackstone heading. this i have done with sandisc 16GB card, it worked for me no problem everything works. try this before you go buying new cards...

Note, if you open Haret from explorer, click on haret.exe and then close explorer from task manager before you choose "run" in Haret. I have had it booting without doing this but now it wont boot unless I close explorer.

I am running it off an 8gig mmc, I simply unzkipped the tmp folder I downloaded and plonked it on the route of my mmc, dead easy to setup.

Looking forward to ditching WINMO and moving onto an androad ROM.

Sry for this kinda simple Questions:

The Wiki says "Disable the PIN from wince". What does that mean? I know that the PIN is the number to get access to your phone, but how can i disable it?

The next thing is: android boots. But i've no keyboard as shown in the videos. Is that probably because of my original ROM or maybe because of the issue above?

Thanks, Alc

I just tried Android 1.0 on my phone. I gotta say that I LOVE it!!!

cant wait for a fully working version, where I can replace windows mobile!

anyone wanna gues when we have a fully working version? looks like progress is realy fast
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caid444:
Soon with sacrifice.

Judging by the progress so far, I'd say it won't be long till we see features like sound, phone, and wifi/bluetooth working on the build. There are however, going to be sacrifices which will take much longer to overcome. Mainly a lack of hardware buttons like direction and such, so it'll take longer for software to come out strictly for our phones and their lack of button support.

I would imagine we could hope to be making phone calls from our phones in about a month or less, but I am only guessing based on the amount of progress the developers have made so far, and I don't want this to be thought of as some sort of certainty. I'm not a dev, I have no authority to say for sure when anything will happen, I can only guess, and that's what my answer is.

I hope that helps.
